VOCAL CONCERT.

We learn that the "Tennesseeans," Vocasts,
will visit Raleigh in the course of day or two.
and give one or more Concerts They have been
engaged the present week at Hillsborough and
Chapel Hill.
The "Tennesseeans" have been spoken of in high
ly commendatory terms by Tennessee, Georgia,
and Mississippi papers; and the Salisbury and
Salem papers. Of this State bear strong testimony
to their accomplishments. The Salisbury Wing
says:
1.-THE TENNEssEEANs. We attended on Monday
and w ednesday evenings the concerts given in the
Court House by these distinguished vocaliss. AS
soon as the first song The Mountaineer's Fare
well was concluded, gentleman remarked to US
that he had then received more than the worth OF his
money. We know but little about Music, except
from its effects, and We ould most certainly have
concluded that we were fiji for &" Treason, sratagems
and spos," if We had been unmoved under the
heart-stirring strains of the Tennesseeans.
We never understood before why Frenchmen run
mad al the song Of the Marseies. AS sung by this
company, it stirs the blood like the blast of trum-
pet. Ii makes You wish that all The little and big

this place on Saturday and Monday evenings, and,
with all who attended, were highly delighted There

Col. GalrHER AND Mr. AVERY. The course oil
COL Gather towards MIR. Avery, is not a little sur
prising TO us-f any thing that that singular andIn
consistent Politician may do be regarded as be-
yoDd the range of probability. tie arraigns Mr.. Ave-
~ for voting against him Tor Solicitor, and denounces
him because he did not abandon the nominee of his
party and support COL B. S. Gather. AT the same
time, while these words of denunciation have not
had time to cool upon his lips, Col. G. attempts 10
recommend himself to the of this District by
expatiating upon his fidelity TO his party, and in fact
makes all his speeches.. as We are Informed, little
more than summary of arguments in favor OF the

their party. Now if Col. Gathers chief hope Of
election lies, it apparently does. in making the
people believe he is Wing and will live and die a
Wing, and will always support the nominees of the
Whig party, upon what reasonable ground can he
complain that Mr.. Avery, known and avowed Dem
ocIa, should do just the same thing for his party.
1t is Col. G's fault if lie shall have convinced Us
and the rest of the community of the necessity OF
supporting the nominee of ones party under all cir
cumstances, and it is ad application of his argu.
ment and logic to turn round and abuse Mr.. Avery
for doing the very thing which in principle he ap'
proves.
Besides all this, Col. Gather, unless We are mis-
informed, never supported Mr.. Avery when candi
date for office, and no longer ago timn last summer
elec,oneered actively and with effect against him
That Mr. Avery therefore should, contrary to tht
