MEssRs HOLDEN & WILSON Gentlemen: l notice
in the STANDARD of the 18th inst, communication

of Commons to the claims of William Hill, ESQ.,, Of
Halifax, to the Speakershp OF that body. The post
of Speaker is an honorable and responsible one and
gratiied to know that Mr.. Hill is we'll quail

from attempting any thing like disparagement of
this estmable gentleman than ourself But truth
and justice compel say that he is not the best

Thomas Settle, Esq, of Rockingham, has served,
ably and faithfully in this body for two terms, and
won for himself name and position seldom accord

the claims Of other good and true Democrats, (and
if we are not mistaken in the author of the COM
municaton referred to, no one would more ably or
gracefully discharge the duties of the post than him.

floor and in the chair, his ready tact and thorough

To the Editors Of the Standard:
SIRs: In reading the Register of the 18th inst,
see article headed "GloriOus Results" in which
much praise is given to Mr.. Vance and other con-
servatives Of the State, and alludes specially to
Johnston, and awards much praise to DIR. Leach and
Willis II. Sanders and says they had great odds to
contend with whereas. quite the reverse is the
truth. Never did the Democratic party have such
odds TO contend with, and such efforts made to de.
fea: them. DIR. Leach, the K. n. candidate for the
Senate. led of, and charged that the Democratic
party had had the control of the State for the last
or 10 years, and that the peoples taxes had gone
up from 5000 to $5nO, ,OOO all by misrule and
mal-administration of the Democratic party, and
many other bad things, too tedious to be mentioned
in this communication Then followed W. H. San
ders and supported all that he had said and then
came the great Linn B. Sanders, who declared he
good Democrat as he ever was, and said all
that Leach and w. H. Sanders had said was true,
and that the present Democratic party must be de-
fea,ed with Mr. W. W. Holden at its head, or the
country would be ruined, and many other things
did he say calculated to weaken the Democratic
party. These three men were the most prominent
men Of their party, and the best speakers, and to
meet whom and their arguments the Democratic
party had but one man in the field, and he man of
limited opportunities, Mr.. B. H. Tomlinson. Mr..
Barnes, a good Democrat but not an educated man.
could not help him much in defending the positions
of the Democratic party; and Mr. S. p. Horton, a
man of excellent good sense but not accustomed to
public speaking did not do much-in fact, he did
not 60 round the campaign; SO the main burden of
the campaign fell on Mr.. B. ii. Tomlnson, and ably,
manfully, bravely and vehemently did he contend
against the positions of all the three opposition
didates, that all praise is due to him and the Dem
ocrats Of the county for what they did do under the
circumstances. Had the opposition not succeeded
in this contest they certainly need not attempt
it.again. DR.. Leach could have been beaten very
easily; but it was thought he would be beaten very
easily, (even by his own party,) so that the Demo
Gratis did not exert themselves against him. So, srs
say in conclusion is mistake when it is said the
opposition under great odds against them. That
boot was the other leg

MEDICAL JOURNAL OF NORTH Ca RoL1NA-We re-
ceived some weeks since the first number of this
work. but it mslad, and from oversight
made no notice Of it in our columns. We find, how
ever the following notice of it in the Newbern Neao
Era, which copy, commecding the Journal at
the same time especially to the attention and sup
port of the medical profession:
"MEDIcAL JOURNAL OF NORTH CARoLINA.-By the
favor of professional gentleman. who is subscr-
Der to this periodical, have before us its first
number, which hail with much pleasure. To
make OF its contents in scientific point of
view, must acknowledge our inability; but, on
perlsing its editorials the conclusion is forced upon
us that the work will be conducted with marked
ability. The vigorous Salutatory of it's Editor is
full guaranty that whatever he may lack in "expe-
rience" he will undoubtedly compensate in the
''zeal' with which he devotes himself to his subject.
The classic Address of DIR. j. G. Tull is certainly
feature in this number, which should commend it to
all who take an interest in the progress of Science.
The establishment of the State Medical Society
event Of much importance to the Profession; and
with this publication means to facilitate the in
terchange of opinions among its members, we can
see no reason to doubt the elevation of the Society
to the highest rank of similar institutions in the
country. Having had some experience in the pub
cation of medical journals, We know something
about the advantages likely to accrue to the profess
sion from such a work and we sincerely nope tnat
its projectors will ere long find their reward in a
subscription list that will enable them to make the
Journal in every respect worthy of the Medical Fra
ternity and the State. The mechanical execution is
not so good as it might be- of which, however the
| Editor seems to be aware By the way, we heard
| some time since that the journal was to be printed
| in Now York. which trust is not the fact, we
feel confidence in asserting that it can be done as
| cheap and as we'll in State as elsewhere
| 1t has our best wishes for its success"
We hope the Standard will in future try to find
out the truth in regard to and not aohotesate mis-.
represent US agan.-Hiz. City Sentinel.
Certainly, Mr.. Mann. To "wholesale misrepre
sent" you is indeed wicked thing We know o.
nothing more wicked than to destroy the Queens
English, you do,
If we have wronged you, Sheriff, orooe it, ano
then we will be very, very sorry for it. But come
Mr. Sheriff, answer us this question: Would yot
talk wholesale" to us in this way if we lived il
Pasquotank and could vote for Sheriff? Not bi
of it. In that case it would be, "walk in, gentle
men, and take something. Glad to see you. Hav
YOU voted? If not, I am the man for Sheriff"

southern Opposition TO LecOmptOn.

Opposition to Leoompton is evidently
increasing among the Anti. .Admin!snra'
ton men Of the South. Not only has
there been a significant change OF votes
on the question, among American Rep
resenlatves, but the leading Southern or
gans OF that party are coming out de-
cidedly against BUcuANAN's Kansas
policy. The yoking together OF Kansas
and Minnesota in one bill, is strongly and
very Justly denounced. The belief that
something akin to PUGH's amendment,
which the President distinctly proposes
in his Message. and which is contempla-
ted in all the strengthening resolutions
passed at the North, will be engra'ted on
the act of admission, is also very gener'
ally enterhined. Such interventlon-o
mere weak and worthless device, intend
ed to cheat somebody's secuted almost
everywhere at the South. On these two
grounds, we think il probable that South
ern Americans will not be found giving
the expected aid and comfort to their
particular friends, the Administrator
Demoorals.-Cia Gdz.
