JOHN C. BADHAM, Eso.-We are glad to sec that
this talented and sterling democrat and accomplish
ed gentleman has been again nominated by the De-
mocracy of Chowan for a seat in the House of Com
MONS He has represented his county in the Leeis-
laure for two consecutive sessions and his consttu
ents have justly awarded him the commentator of
faithful, diligent, and able guardian of their rights
and interests.
Among his fellow members he was popular, and
welded an influence by means nconsiderable.
The Democrats of Chowan have exhibited their usu-
al sagacity and good sense in once more selecting
Mr.. Badman their standard bearer, and We do
not entertain the slightest doubt Of his triumphant
election. Indeed, we look for considerable swell
in the majority. We know we'll the spirit of the
indomitable Democracy of old Chowan and with
the gallant billiard in the field for the Senate and
Badham for the House, what may they not accom-.
plish! Only few years back and Chowan ranged
under the Whig banner; now she gives from fifty
to sixty Democratic majority, and it will not surprise
us if it should be 1OO in August
Exert yourselves Democrats Of Chowan, and see
phat you do for the worthy men of your choice.

than do injustice to the Committee of Arrangements
to the Marshal and his Assistants the occasion.
No unkind or unfriendy reflections were intended
and where, in case like this intent of the sort
existed, no offence can be taken. Marshals and
Committees of Arrangements always act, it is to be
presumed, from patriotic motives and for the public
convenience, with no thought of pecuniary per.
sonal advantage; and it is not pleasant to them to
be censnred, when they feel, whatever others may
think, that they have performed their whole duty.

A BAD JUDGE OF DEMocRAcY.-The Register says,
"having no candidate of our own for Gubernatorial
honors in the present contest, have to choose be-
tween Democrats" The Register has Mr.. McRae's
name under its editorial head its candidate, and
yet says it has no candidate of its own.
The Register says it has had to choose between
Democrats" and it has chosen Mr.. McRae. Very
well all we have to say in reply is, that the Regis
ter is bad judge of Democracy, and that it would
be perfectly safe for all good Democrats to vote in
every case against the choice Of that paper. The
Register, in choosing between Democrats" has no
idea of beneftting Democracy advancing Demo-
cratic principles

W The last Greensborough Patriot compli-
ments Henry W. Miller, Esq, with more than COL
of bitter, characteristic denunciation The Pa
triot cannot bear to see old line whg or an
American take high and patriotic ground, as Mr..
Miller has done for the Constitutional rights of the
South. That paper belongs to the Southern "brig-
ade," which is fighting side by side with the
Northern brigade" against the safe and conserva-
tive administration of James Buchanan, and against
Southern rights and Constitutional Union. And we
have no doubt its sympathies are stronger for the
K. Ms and black Republicans of the North than
they are for the Democracy of the South. This is
opinion of this bitter assailant of Henry W. Mil
ler, Who has dared to do right without regard to
consequences.

noon last the attention of citizens attracted
by the sound of cannon at the Western Depot Up
on enquiry it was ascertained that the Newbern
Light Infantry, Capt. j. B. Jordan, had paid our
City visit; and that they on their way to
Hillsborough, Salisbury, and Charlotte having es-
corted His Excellency Gov. Bragg from Newbern to
this place. The Newbern Company, with several
citizens of Craven and others, accompanied the
Governor to his residence, where he briefly address
ed them returning his thanks for the attentions they
had shown him. and inviting them to partake Of re-
freshments. Capt. Tucker, with several members
of the Oak Cit; Guards, waited on Capt Jordan and
his Company at the Governors Mansion; and the
Captain, after expressing his qualification at their
visit, invited them to call at his house on their way
to the Depot, and proceed from further "labor to
refreshments" They did SO, and were most boun-
tifully and Hospitality entertained. They left soon
afterwards in their special for Hillsborough,
where they arrived Wednesday night.
We learn that the Company mustered about 80
men, They presented fine appearance, and moved
with the practised step of veterans.
