Or h?w wa. it pontile for him to oppose Mr. Van Buren without at the same time opposing his administra tion. Did Mr. Fisher think, that Van Bu ren would cease tlie operation of 'those measures to which he objected, because he, (Mr. F.) was opposed, to them. Or did he suppose Mr. Van Buren would grat ijr ic mm uiitti 111a xiuixiiiiiauanuu 111 such a way as to meet his approbation. By no means we must take an Admin istration as we find jit: If upon examina tion we discover that, upon the wholp it is evil in its tendency! it is then our duty to oppose it. And if we discover it is good, we adoDt it, Ther is no middle erbund. You' cannot go for fMw or that measure i 1 auu icjctumcrs. i iou must iaKe tne whole or reject the whole. It is true, you may entertain your opinions abstractly as to the merits Of the Various measures of an administration. You may, abstractly, approve of; some and condemn ot tiers ;; i i but when you are called upon to vote, you must take it or reject as a whole. - i i Now is there any! man who doubts but Mr. Fisher knew this? Will any one fot' moment suppose that Mr. F. believed he-could, effectually approve of what he thought right, and) condemn what he thought wrong ?' Or that he could tat all separate the right from the wrong J Yet this artful language, had the desired ef fect: It deceived a large portion1 of the Whig Party, persons who were proud of of Mr. FisheVs talents, and who also, felt their bosoms swell with joy and sarisfacf tion when on fbrnjer; occasions he had istood up so boldly ilnd manfully in joppoi ion to the corruptn, 'extmviandes and monstrous daring of the Administration of Jackson and Van Buren. They remem bered his course in (years even preceding that dynasty : They, remembered when, in 1827, and '2S he rallied with them under the .banner. of refoiim, . antl wenit against John Quincy Adams, whose administra tion, although it expended only about 13 millions'annuaUvrWas accounted extravr all he could to elect, the hero, in order that such extravagance j might be ; put i stop to... ,;Butthe hero turned out. taj be - more extravagant than Mr. Adams : Under his administration. the expenditures c-X Gov. ernment increased to; nearly double their former amount; and practices ofia: dan gerous and evil nature were introduced.' which were perfectly astounding to the true friends of the Ccuntr The5 Gerier- I ''' ...... .

I hese wsam inrlpMi al arminir times : The Jack son men of North Carolina, deserted , hirn4 WW w W : w w - W ... - en masse ; ana iur. r isner was nuwug iw first to take the alarm : :Nor.was he voc and indefinite in his denunciations of his old friend, the General. There was no i appro ving what he'thought 'Hghtfaridmndemhr ing Achat he thoughticrong then, lie was oold and independent, and knowing very well that he could not efFectually approve the good and reject the evil, in this case, and seeing that the evil overbalanced the good, he did what every rational man will always do he rejected the whole! He denounced the Administrations of Jack son and Tan Buren, loud and long, and declared eternal warfare against it. See proceedings of meeting in Vogler's grove, ,in 1835. In 1839 he still denounced it; it was necessary that he should, for he was a can didate in a Whig district Nevertheless, he didjso as one submitting to a necessity, and even then apologised for it by attempt ing to saddle the blame chiefly on Congress, as though the President had not power to prevent any unconstitutional or mischiev ous measure of .Congress. In the Circular from which we have already quoted, we fincLthe following, in relation to the extravagances of the times : For all these extravagancies I give to the President nd his administration, their full measure of condemna tion. Neither Mr. Van Buren, nor his predecessor, has carried out the principles of reform they promised ; Meir Reform has been backwards. Mr. Van Buren himself, has fallen far short of what"! consider his duty, and I always have, and always will consider him respond Bible for much of the evils that we complain of; but in holding him to an account, let us not overlook Congress. This body is fully as much to blame as is the administra tion for all the enormous abuses we have witnessed, nay, Congress inmost to blame j for, if Congress had not appropriated the money, the Executive could not have spent it." Now this thing of blaming Congress more than the Administration, is another of Mr. Fisher's tricks. He knew verv well this sort of argument would seem air to many, and that it would have the effect to scatter the concentrated resent ment of the people justly bearing ag'ainst Martin Van Buren. But we all know the President, in these latter days, is a parti zan; and, (with the exception of Tyler,) has a party able to shape things to their own liking ; and that the President is the soul of his party, whose very suggestions are moulded into laws, and whose frown is terror. This was the case when Jack son ruled, and also, when Van Buren oc cupied the Executive chair. Under these circumstances we think there is great jus tice injaying the blame at the Presidents door, when mischief is done. But there is still another reason why the President is chargeable with the wrong doings of Congress : He possesses the veto power. If Congress pass an act, contrary to the spirit and letter of the Constitution, and which is fraught with danger to the interests of the Country, it is the duty of the President to arrest it. If he neglects to dp so, he is at fault not Congress for, for that very purpose was the Veto power given.' , Thus, it wTould seem, this argument of Mr Fisher's, was recrZy intendedjo screen Mr. Van Buren, with whom he was then falling in love. ,. There is one other sentence in this ex tract worthy of particular attention : It is this-" Neither Mr. Van Buren, nor his predecessor, has carried out the principles of heform they promised ; their Reform has been backwards. And again : " Mr. Van Buren himself, has fallen far short of what I ; consider his duty, and I always have, and always will consider him respon sible for much of the evils that we com plain of." ; This is pretty plain, strong language ; and if he had not sought to dilute it by throwing in Congress, it would have pass ed tolerably well. - But Congress is dragg ed in, and made the scape goat for Van Buren's political sins. Nevertheless, it is strong; enough for & necessity case, and it was available to the extent of his wishes. Next to the closing paragraph of this Circularvve find the following interesting lines : , . - . ; . i " I will go for investigating all abuses of power, -for correcting all evilsj and; punishing all defaulters. la horWl So Jot kefork ; I believe that the preservation of-, rtatrties-aWryci'pr our Institu-3 ExEccnvs Hzrxiriasrr, bat likewise in Cosgress ." .This is capital 1 Who could .vote a gainst Mr. Fisher after 'his promising to do all this? .;; . ,: But did he keep his worit; Ah there lies theVub : J It Is an easything xi pro mise h much , easier, than to perform.----Dd ycu ever hear the i . result of Mr. F's.' investigations f-Ot the evils he corrected Or of Ms punishment of defaulters f.

And he declared most emphatically, that " Should I therefore become your Repre sentative," we quote from the same doc- ment," you need never be at a loss where to find me ; wherever the flag of reform is hoisted, there you may look for' me,- ready and willing to do my part of the glorious work." , u XZgv" Now there is no doubt but Mr; Fisher was in favor of Reform," he was a per fect " Davy Crocket" on the subject,- a real scrowger I but still he didn't flog the defaulters.

He is ther ardent admirer of Calhoun and McDuffie, the two great advocates of Free. Trade Ptinciples. Mr. Fisher is out against the Tariff he is op posed to the very measure which has, and will continue to raise the country from the depressed condition in which the narrow and contracted policy of the Locofoco parly has plunged it ; and, if persisted in, will still enrich foreigners and impoverish our own country : From the Louisville Journal.

The Locofoco editors and demagogues pronounced it a perfect mira cle of genius and wisdom.Theythought it prudent and patriotic The editors quoted from it and stole from it. : Those who ba4at. their command the smallest possible sheets in which to cramp their prodigious intellects, took Mc DufHes stapTe, and having embellished it with the roost equisite nonsense, presented it to the admiration ot their readers.

South Carolina, ome.l thing about the weather, and there seems td lie' a very general drought prevailing jn thepi alt Here, in this section, we are visited by a drougbt,;. to which there is scarcely a parallel in tie rt collection of bur oldest citizens. " In 1815-'18 '17 or ?18, we cannot ascertain with certain-' ty this part of f.'thc country' "was j visitedj by drought. Crops of every kind, except a the article of wheat, failed almost entirely ;r and na little sunenng was the consequence. 1 he proJ pect with us now, . is truly alarming. There h? been no rain in many parts of thisCounty sna the adjoining Countier to wet the ground since the corn crop was pitched at least three tnonlhs. We have occasionally had light shovverf, h they were too light to do any good. The w crop is almost an entire i failure r;. We knotr some farmers who were -not able to save; their seed for another year. Unless wo havej rail within a few days it will be a wonderful display of Omnijwtence to prevent almost a total fail urepf the corn crop. ' Early corn, is hov lav seling : s and unless rain comes soon, it will 4 up, without even forming a nubbin. The MJ crop is also very far short of an average.
