The “official” paper at Washington, the Na tional Intclligencer, of the 22d uh., contains an ar ticle purporting to be a letter from Albany, New at The "expeP-se of the Southern planter. Its York, from one high in the favor of “ Whiggery,” ^^^^rahendencyis,toconcentratelheinoncy power I but which we have no doubt was written by Mr. ^'^LbThands onhe capitalists of the gi'cat inanufjc- Clay, or some of-his federal coadjutors at Wash ington. and intended as a hint and a spur to Mr. Tylkr and the refractory Whigs in Congress.— This letter shows the.extremities to which Messrs. Clay and 'W’ebster are reduced, to force upon the country their wicked measures, and the impending defeat which awaits them, as well as their speedily approaching overthrow. The letter sets out by stating, that Southern mem- s of Congress are ail mistaken about the object of the Abolitionists in flooding Congress with their petitions—that their sole object is to have their cities are opposed to cnariermg a naiiK. as is sauwn petitions rcccived thats all tl\ey don t want any I,y the foliowin.' sniritcil and well written renion- tiling more!

May and June Nos. of his interesting periodical, the Southern Literary Messenger, which has just come to hand. This bright gem in the literature of the South seems but to increase in interest and ability as it progresses in years. ‘ To such of our frieruis as wish to patronize a literary work of genuine merit, we would respectfully recommend the Messenger. But they can be their own judges, by calling at our office and e?:amuiing the Nos. now before us. AN ISSUE. In the .Senate, a few days since, our Senators, Messrs. Mangum and Graham, asserted that a ma jority of the people of this Sta:te had declared in favor of a National Bank by their votes at the elections of last year. Mr. Culhotm said he differed with the Se nators—ho did not believe that a majority of the Peo ple of North Carolina had declared in favor of a Dank, or that they wished such an institution char tered. For daring to express this opinion, Mr. Calhoun is most bitterly assailed by the Federal press in our State. But who is right—Mr. Cal houn, or our Senators? W'e say the former is—for, during the whole contest of 1840, v/liile the Demo cratic politicians and presses vrere tirging upon the attention of the People the question of “ B(mk or no Bank,'^ their opponents studiously avoided an is sue to that eflect. What were the arguments and mearioUoed in that coiitcst by the Federalists to sway the minds and get the votes of the People? AVc claim by the higliest posible title, a title direct from tlie Creator; and they seemed determined to set all liuman decrees at defiance. In addition to despoi ling the lands of much valuable timber, they now forbid the commissionera and surveyors, on pain of death, to attempt a survey aiid partition. *’ An extract of a letter from the scene of these dif ficulties, to the New York JournDl of Commerce says: - The excitement on both >ides of the river against the Mormons is Increasing very fast. Tae condu.-t of Jo. Smith and the other leaders, is sueh as no community of white men can tolerate. It is the en tire absence of all moral and religious principle that renders them so obnoxious to the Gentiles of all de nominations, wherever they reside. “ Jo. Smith was yesterday arresied, bet^veen Nau- voo and Q,uincy, by the authorities of Illinois, on a requisition from the Governor of Missouri. May justice be meted out to him for hi.s villanies. “Martin IJarris, vdio was one of the witnesses to the book of Mormon, and who has been for some time lecturing in Illinoi.=^ against the Mormons, was fl)und dead last week, having been shot through the head. He was no doubt mudered.” The New York correspondent of the National InteUigmcer, under date of June 20, writes as fol lows ; “ The speech of the Governor General of the Ca nadas upon the openin*^ of the Provincial Parlia ment has just made its appearat>ce here and is wor thy of your consideration. It discusses matters of interest beyond the borders of the Province. In regard to Alexander "McLeod, now a state prisoner in this city, his I>ordship says that his detention is I'orcibhi and his crime pretOHded ; that no time was los:t by him, as the Executive of the Province, in re- ^ monstraling against the proceeding, and in ensur- ^ i iniT lor the prifsfmer the means of defence. In con- C jri >’ces3, urilor thy iiiflu of the Cliy po licy, is a"s likely to'crder $103,000,000. They go fpr^^‘borrowing prosperity’^ from Europe in a lump^. Thei;fe is no use in waithig to earn it. Posterity can pay for it out of what thti) can row, if they are good financiers.” KEEP IT IN MIND! Let it not be forgotten by the people, that the IVa- tional Intelligencer, the organ of the new Adminis tration, h;is declared that it ^4ias no idea of any re daction of the aggtegate amount of the expendi tures” of tiie Government—and that “ an augmenta tion of the revenue to some extent is therefore ine vitable.” ^ 1 ~ A J The charge of extravagance against the late Ad ministration did more than any thiag else to^ defeat Mr. Van Buren. ‘‘Mr. Van Buren is spending too much money,” was the daily song of the Federal ists; and they promised, if they succeeded, to re trench the expenses. Now what do we hear ? ^ W hy, their organ boldly declares that he. has no idea of am/ reduction of e.rpense»—that they must have MORE MONEY! f In other words, they have “no'idea” of fidfitting the promises \Vith .wliich they caught many unsuspecting voters of the coun try, but a falsijication of themis ineviUible.

Harrison, and passed a bill giving to tliem- selves and friends, inr their pay, mileage, fcc., three hundred and eighty-two thousand six hund.red. and sixty-siz d.ollari and sixty cents I And what have the majority in Congress done . (we say the majority, for the Democratic members are not allowed any hand in the proceedings) to earn this last large item?

Prospcctus of Vol. 8, for IS 11. rglHE Cultivator was established to improv’e -1- and elevate the Agriculture of the country ; to give a proper tone to the morals and mind of the farmer; to show him the dignity and importance of his profession; to store his mind with useful know ledge, and convince him that while all classes are and must be more or less dependant on each other, he alone pf the whole can make any near approach to independence. If there is one thing more than another, wdiich in this country gives a man superi ority over his fellow men, it is knowledge; and thin knowledge,—knowdedge which is essential to the success of the farmer as to other men,—it is the de sign of the Cultivator to aid in imparting. rC?* The volume for 1840, is filled entirely with Okiginai.

This tract was given to tlie Half Breeds of the Sax and Fox nations by the United States, and has been purchased from them by the whites. Proceedings have been had in the Equity Court of Iowa to partition these lands, and errors and ab^^urdities of Mr, wing’s report are also laid bare; and all the contrivances of the Bank whigs to get up a pretence f;r i.ssuing stocks to meet the (hies of the government are completely exploded, and the federal cabinet is forced to resort to the shameless proposition of is.suing stock as the ba sis of a National Bank.
