No. indeed, the Democrat is not to be removed from
Charlotte. and shall be. The paper is too popular
with It's patrons in this Section for to entertain

SENATOR CL1NGMAN.-A foreign correspondent
of the New York Tribune says:
"Mr Clingman, who arrived in England by the
Arabia on the I'd instant, suffered so much from
sea-sckness, that he has been exceedingly feeble
since his landing, and he informed me that he still
constantly experiences nausea resembling that
produced by the motion of vessel. Not a little
dscomftted was the Senator on arriving at Paris.
He had procured from Mr. Cass dispatches for
Minister Mason, in the confident expectation of
passing through the customs unannoyed
On arriving at the Paris station he remarked to
his compognon de royoge, an wait while they
examine your trunks, which, I suppose will require
Il considerable time" The domantbr, however,
merely opened and shut Mr. HIS trunks while
Mr. Clingman suffered the vexation of seeing his
own baggage ransacked, almost every article being
dragged from his trunk. The great despatch,
with its ocean of seaing-wax lying ostentatiously
at the top Of the honorable Gentleman's packing,
had only served to whet the curiosity the
suspicious Of the customs officer.

Rssgn The Fayetteville Observer says that " NesSrS
Toombs Crawford, Revcrdy Johnson and Stephens were
not Wings when they justified the allowance of the
Galphin claim but thorough going Democrats When
the Observer cited these gentlemen supporting the
claim we supposed that it during Fillmores admin
istration when it is well known they were thorough
going Wings it did state at what time their re-
marks made in the senate i'll favor OF the claim
The Observer says it was after they turned democrats
that they uSticd the claim We don't doubt the state
ment. but do say that they were wings when the
claim was allowed and friends of the wing adminlstra-
ton which allowed it, and is not likely that after con-
senting and approving the allowance at that time
they would afterwards condemn it, although they joined
the democrats. As we said last week we cannot lay
our hands the discussion which took place for ana
against the claim, but remember that the action OF
Filmore's admins traton condemned by many coca
men, The charges against the wing administration at
that time NAV have been unfounded as the charges
of the opposition against the democratic administration
of the present day. We merely alluded to the matter
to remind those who live in glass houses that they
should not indulge in the sport of throwing stones.

this county, who swallowed common pin when
she was fifteen years of age, which lodged in her
throat and has remained there to this day, without
causing any serious difficulty other than little
soreness after taking cold. The pin can be felt
with the fingers from the external surface of the
throat, and when the parts are compressed togeth-
or the same sensation is produced which follows
the piercing with pin any other part of the body.
We received these facts from the husband of
the lady, and there is no doubt about their cor
