GIVE are aware that the Editor of the
Wing is unable to give US the opinions of
Mr.. Fillmore, his candidate for the Presi-
dency, on the Kansas-Nebraska bill-whe-
Their he approves the principles contained
Observation-Disclosures he approves a repeal
thereof, &c. This, we know he cannot do,
for the satisfactory reason that Mr.. Fill
more "kceps dark" on the subject, and
will not disclose his opinions ON this now
vital question to the South.
But, will the editor of the Wing favor US
with his own views ON the Kansas-N ebras-
ka bill-and let US know whether or not he
is in favor of the principles therein applica-
BILE to the slavery question now in agitation
and whether he is or is not in favor of q
repeal of that bill, and going back TO a res
toration of the Compromise bill of 1850. We
shall expect reply. -.

BUTLER ON SUMNER.

The quito percha castigation inflicted by
Brooks on Sumner, was by many deemed
severe punishment; but it was the very
personification of mercy, compared to the
excoriation given him by Senator Butler
The cane, after the fashion of the original
Native Americans" only scalped the enc
my, bat Senator B. skins him alive from
head to foot. He not only proves Sumner
guilty of SANDER and falsehood. hut oon-
Victs him of downright perjury. The speech
of Senator B., in reply to the famous and
infamous one of Sumner, has just made its
appearances, and creates no little sensation.
1t is sought for here by all parties, and the
unmerc;fal punishment enjoyed by all
Senator B. will be fortunate if he escapes
indictment under the statute against ''cruel
punishments."

SENATOR HAnd11N, OF MAINE.

On Thursday last this gentleman arose
in his place in the Senate, and announced
his formal withdrawal from the Democratic
party. The cause of his withdrawal may
be seen from the following extract from his
remarks in the debate:
HE could very well see how Senators
could have voted for the Nebraska bill, un-
der the belief that no evil results would fol-
low; but how Senators could now support
that measure, with the evils before their
eyes which have resulted from it. and which
threaten the peace of the whole country,
was more than he could understand. Since,
however, the Cincinnati Convention had en-
dorsed this measure, in its consummation
and in its results, be therefore felt it his
duty to declare that he could no longer
maintain party associations with any party
that insisted upon such doctrines, and that
he could support no man for President who
avowed them. In the coming contest he
should labor for the defeat of the Demo
cratic ticket
The withdrawal of Senator Hamlin, for
such cause, is compliment to the sound
nationality of the Democracy, which will
overbalance the loss of Mr.. Hamlin and a
thousand like him.

rWe learn from the "Whig'' that an nte-
resting little son of Mr. Daniel Towle, of Harris
Depot, in Cabarus county, was killed by fall
from tree, which he had assembled for the pur-
pose of releasing fishing line which had become
entangled in the branches under which he was
fishing. He fell upon snag, which penetrated
bis abdomen several inches, producing awful suf-
fering until death came to his relief few hours
afterwards. His age was fl years.
70 Nine canes, two GOLD and two silver
goblets, and any quantity of compliments
ry resolutions, have been awarded to Mr..
Brooks thus far, for his assault on Senator
Sumner.

SUPERIOR COURT.

An extra term of the Superior Court for
Mecklenburg county commenced yesterday
Judge BAILEY presiding. owe erred, as
did our informant, in stating last week that
Judge Caldwell would preside-Judge Ellis
not having the power, under the Constitu-
ton, to hold an extra term in his own dis
trict.) There is a heavy docket for trial at
the present term, and the Court will be ar
duously engaged on it during the entire
week. Yesterday the business transacted
was of preliminary character. The trial
of causes will commence, we presume, to-
day. Although busy season in the coun-
try, the occasion brings to town many per-
sons. The hotels were crowded yesterday

CONGRESS.

There has not been quorum in the House
for the last two weeks; consequently no i'm
portant business has been transacted. All
the national Conventions" having passed,
this week we may expect a resumption of
labors, and a renewal of the exciting scenes
which followed the Sumner flogging. Yes
terday was the day appointed for calling up
the report of the Sumner Committee in the
House. An effort will be made to expel Mr.
Brooks; and if successful, it will be a GER
tificate of merit, instead of any reflection
upon his worth and honor. The Kansas
(humbug) Committee having returned, their
report, we learn by letter from gentleman in
Washington, will probably soon be submitted
and give rise to another very exciting dis
cussion. The time has now arrived for the
fanatics to attempt to carry through their
various mischievOus measures against the
South but such is our confidence in the
talent, spirit, and patriotism of our Repre-
scntatives, that we never for a moment de
spair of the Republic" One gallant South
ron is equal to a host of Summers and Sew
ards. They excel in nothing but puerility
and defamation. With decided majority
in the House, they are two cowardly to at
tempt what they threaten. They dare not
press to practical issue the schemes which
they propose against the South. They have
discovered that the South has no more
compromises to make with an insane set
of fanatics whose exactions are only in
creased by submission to their demands
And now they will wage war of falsehood
abuse. and blackgunrdism against the South,
never have the moral power to attempt the
execution of their threats.

WHERE SHALL COZ

The great Daniel Webster, of the once
great Wing party, propounded to himself
the above question, while his own party was
still in existence. Now that the Wing party
has no longer habitation, if name, many
of its members, unable to discover the beau
ties of Know-Nothingism, even with the aid
of 1.-The lantern" and all the light emana-
ting from a luminary which rises in the east
every Tuesday morning, are, like the Clay
Wings of Kentucky, asking themselves,
'.Where are we to 60 7" And since the no.
mination of James Buchanan and John c.
Breckenridge, rumor states that several
Old-Line Wings of our town have answered
the question, and answered it, too, like true
americans: 1--WE can't swallow Sam, al
though creased with big Tennesseean-
we can't hesitate between Mr.. Buchanan,
with his Ineligible, conservative, and
strong anti abolition Platform, and either
of the several ''long, low, black" piratical
tickets of the North-we can't stand neu-
trail, in a contest between the North and the
Southland we must therefore act with the
Democratic party, if not permanently, in
the present contest at least, or until we can
revive our old party, or find another with
principles more liberal, statesman-like, and
applicable to the wants and present exigen-
cies of the country. We have now more to
dread from Abolitionism than from Catho-
licism, or any other ISM"
Such are, we learn, the reasons assigned
by several prominent, intelligent, and infu-
entail OldLine Wings of Charlotte, for in
timating purpose to act with the Demo
cratic party in the present contest. Their
course is one taken by thousands of intelli-
gent and patriotic Wings of the country,
and whose example will be followed by ma
ny thousands more. We are surprised that
all, except the oath-bound, who are no lon
ger freemen, do not at once come forward
and take their stand in the ranks of the
great and glorious Democratic party.

thermometer has been at about 90-and the
end appears not yet. Yesterday was a

complaints to offer. The corn and cotton

The editor of the Wing says he under
stands we sent up Buchanan shout at the
Democratic meeting few evenings ago.
Will the editor of the Wing ever dare to
shout for Fillmore! He would cut pretty
figure, shouting for the author of the Erie
letter-for man who went so far in his alb
olitionism as to vote for the infamous Colt
resolution proposing to give the negroes OF
the District of Columbia a vote on the
question of abolishing slavery there! The
first time he attempts to shout for such a
man, we advise him to have a Physician
present. He will need immediate relief to
prevent choking.

NICARAGUAN AFFAIRS.

1t is rumored, says the New York Sun,
that project of new treaty between the
United States and Nicaragua, is entertain
ed, and that, if consummated, as it is be-
lived it will be, it will have an important
bearing on the destinies of Nicaragua. and
of all the Central American States. Major
Heiss, it is understood, goes out on the
Oath, as bearer of dispatches for the United
States Government, and the dispatches
which he will carry out, will no doubt, be of
an important character.
REPUDIATING Mr.. FILLMoRE.-The New
York Commercial, an old line wing journal,
has hauled down the Fillmore flag since
that gentleman letter Of acceptance has
appeared. The Commercial is of opinion
that Mr.. Fillmore has virtually ignored the
existance of the whig party, and declines
| to support a wing. 1t therefore urges
whig national convention to determine the
course of the wings in the coming contest.
N-
v We copy the following from the Lou
isville Courier, an influential old line wing
paper:
THE $1,000 bet, offered in the Courier
few days since, that Kentucky would vote
for Buchanan and Breckenridge in Novem-
Der next, has not yet been taken. We now,
have still further inducements to offer. We
will pay $50 in gold to the person who will
