poIf,fcai Literature.

The following which we find in the Register is
a fair specimen we presume of the political faera-
fure with which the State is to be fooled and tie
people gorged by political writers and the polisi-
cal press during the coming summer. The first
piece is brought forth by the Charlotte Democrat
and the second by correspondent of the Register.
To become a candidate for Governor at the pres
ent day in North Carolina is TO set ones self up
TO be blackguarded from one end of the State to
the other. Men have right TO differ to prin-
cples and policy but every gentleman has right
to expect and demand courteous treatment at the
hands of political opponents:
From the Charlotte Democrat.

To plan for office, place and power,
And gouge the public CRIB "a teet

To east about on every hand,
For one to lead them to--deteoe.
Fully many heart then leaped for JOY,
And many frog in Pasquutank,
Croaked for its Pool natare boy,
That chased them oft from bank to bank
But still some sighed, that once 50 proud.

And Sam himself kRocEed INTO pa

But now they meet-how wondrous kind =

And seek to acash past sans away
