DESTRUCTIVE SroRN.-We learn that a violent
storm, accompanied by heavy rain visited Charlotte
on Wednesday evening last, at 81 o'clock. by which
some car sheds belonging to the North Carolina
Railroad Company were blown down, chmneys de-
stroyed, houses unroofcd, and other property more
or less injured. The town is represented as having
been in great state of alarm. We have not heard
of any loss of life The storm extended some forty
miles east of Charlotte, and has doubtless caused
great injury to the crops.

The next House of Representatives.

The opposition to the national Democi attic party
is one thing in section, and another in another
section for example, the main is ues in the non
slaveholding States are based upon the sentiment OF
anti slavery, which our Northern Democratic friends
have 10 meet and here, the issue is distribution
1t is idle to suppose that distribution, if practca
BILE or desirable, be carried out. The most san
gune friends which the measure has will not pre-.
tend that success is likely to crown their efforts
We are bound therefore, to believe that this issue
is used here, the anti slavery sentiment is used
in the nonslsvenolding States. to embarrass and
iniure the Democracy. But thus far the opposi.
ton have failed The national Democracy have
recently made large gains in the free States, while
in " old Virginia" have swept every thing with
whrlwnd of triumph.
The true question is, Shall the merit House Of Re-
personalities be Democratic black Republican p
shall the Democrats or the opposition hare the House?
We all remember for how many weeks the last
House was engaged in making Speaker; and how,
amid the greatest excitement, black Republican
Speaker was elected. The Southern Know Moth
ings have allies in the House with whom they
can cordially cooperate. There will be no Fillmore
man. no national Know Nothing in that body
What, then, will Southern Know Nothing members
do? Will they throw away their votes for Speaker

man supposed to be sound?-or aoiU they rote for
the Democratic candidate tor Speaker

vote cheerfully and at for the Democratic

ly in the last resort. thus giving opportunity for
another black Republican triumph in the House Of
Representatives? Will they stard by: President Bu
chanan on the slavery question without regard to

Messrs. Shaw and Scales WILL If elected, go to the
House as friends of the present administration, and
as members Of great national, Constitutional par
ty. No pledges required from them on these
points. They already in the path of duty, and
the people can calculate with confidence on theil
course Would it be wise at time like this, to SCI
such men aside for others from whom pledges or
such vital issues required? We think not.

condemned in Scripture" and claiming the
right to discuss these socacd evils and vices IN the
