Mr.. n1cDuaie and the North Carollnian.

The Carolinian of yesterday contains communion
ton signed " Cumberland" which the JOURNAL is re-
quested to copy. Now, we really do not wish to get
into any controversy arising out of Mr.. McDuffies
being candidate. We merely wish to state facts
nearly as we know them. We presume that we will
shortly have an opportunity of hearing both
candidates. and of noticing their positions avowed
by themselves Mr.. McDufie. speaks here tonight !;
we have Just heard that Mr.. Winsow is in town.
We shall try to givea full report and if any sentiments
be avowed with which we cannot agree we will freely
say so. We will thus from the statements of the gen.
temen themselves be able to lay all the points stated
and all the facts alleged before our readers.
The Carolinian says that since the Charlotte Con-
vention, Mr.. McDufe openly and avowedy opposed the
nominees of the Democratic party in Cumberland
County. This is charge which it is incumbent upon
Mr.. McDufie to meet. If he does so why much the
better for his cause If he does not it will be so much
the worse.
1t is little strange that no report of any Of the
speeches made in the district this has been sent
to the papers, We have published by others
and we have received for publication ourselves
We shall endeavour to supply this omission far as
do so by reporting any discussion or speaking
that may take place here-Dally Journal 10th inst.

Anant;c Montblv-The Sentem-

atlantic Monthly.-The Septem-
Der number of this valuable Mag azine
has arrived, and is worthy to be pro-
duced in the Athens of America. We
could wish that an occasional more
solid article would find its way into
the pages of the Atlantic. Good il
is Of its kind. But we imagine the
substantial productions which charac-
terise the English Magazines, if met
with more frequently in the Atlantic
would attract to it the attention of
another class of readers in addition to
those who now delight in its perusal.
There is a class of readers who are
not content with sweatmeats contin
ually. They like to meet with some
thing occasionally which will gener-
ate thought of lasting and useful
nature. There is a great deal of
philosophyin the writings of Holmes,
Emerson and others, contributors to
the Atlantic Monthly.
A stray article now and then from
Agassiz on, Natural Science, from
Bancroft on History, Everett OF
Winthrop on Politics, and from the
other Hterati of Boston on natural
or experimental science, would not
we fancy, come amiss. Every one
to his taste, however.

New County OGicers.--The bonds
Of most of the new county officers
were approved on Tuesday by the
Board of Supervisors and the new
servants of the people have began to
discharge their duties. 1t is but JUS
tice to say that SO far as the Sheriff
and County Clerk, who have just
gone out of Office. are concerned.
they have endeavored to meet the
requirements of the law regulating
their offices, and the duties of the
same have been discharged honestly
and faithfully. Their successors
having been deputies in their respec
tive Offices during the two years past
enter upon their duties with much ex-
perience and with every promise Of
efficiency. They have given unex-
ceptionable bonds as every officer Of
known integrity Of character ought
to be able to do. In fact the bonds
of all the county officers thus far ap-
proved appear to be ample and fully
meeting the acquisitions Of the stat
utes, which, we apprehend, is an i'm
provement upon the past.
We learn that Ed. Burrell, Esq
has received the appointment of Un~
der Sheriff. Jas. B. Van Hagen, Dep
uty and George ienhart, Jailor. We
believe the integrity of these gentle
men is not to be impeached. Ed. Bur-
rill is eminenly fitted for the posi-
tion, as all who have done business
with the Sheriff's Office during the
past year can affirm. Lenhart is re-
tanned in his old position as jailor
very properly.
We learn, also, that Joe Roberts
Jr., an old attachee of the Clerk S
office, will be retained as deputy
Joe makes one of the best of clerks.

and every presumption is against it The
existence in Congress of the right to
legislate upon given subject, is proof
that such right exists nowhere else. If
it belongs to Congress, it is the duty of
Congress, upon all proper occasions, to
exercise, not to grant it away. If it may
do it in one case, it may do it in all 9th
ers; and we may imagine state of things
in which Congress, having distributed its
constitutional powers and duties among
the several State Legislatures, has rem
dered itself merely an ornamental su-
pernumerary in our national affairs.
Neither is it true as Mr.. DOUGLAS con-
tends, that because Congress has no
power over slavery to protect or prohibit,
such power must necessarily belong to
the State and Territorial Legislatures.
There are things which neither Congress
nor any other legislative body may do;
and it does not follow that because the
one may not do a given thing, that there
fore the other may; and he has but poor
conception of the true province of govern
ment, who would found an argument on
50 important an issue, upon basis 50
palpably insecure.
