SATURDAY, FEB. 2.5. 1837. QyTJie reader will find on our first pace, a letter from Gen. Jack son to Mr. Calhoun, respecting land speculation, together with some explanatory remarks by the Globe- It seems that repeated defeats, only have a tendency to make the opposition more reckless! arm vitunerativp Ve regret to perceive also, that! some unfriendly altercations have , , . . I recently taken place between sev- eral of the prominent members of the Democratic parly Messrs.. Benton and Hives, Walker and Benton, Sec. on which the Rich mond Enquirer remarks as fol lows: Scenes at Washington. We a re sorry to say that some warm words passed in debate, between Messrs. Benton and Walker on Saturday last, upon the Currency Bill. Are we so mad as to gratify the hopes, and realize the predictions of the opposition? Is it true, as they say, that we are about to fall to pieces and are we to encourage them by our divisions? Are we about U verify the saying of the old General, that we can gain a victo ry, but we know not how to im prove it? We tell our friends, be ware. Never had any Adminis tration a more reckless and infu riated opposition to encounter and if we neglect principles, and sacrifice the interests of our coun try to our own passions, we must reap the consequences in our dis traction and defeat. Our ene mies, we know, hope that we are to split upon this rock. We have made these reflections before; but they are wrung from us at this lime by some of the scenes which are passing at Washington. CONGRESS. In Senate, Mr. Grundy, from the joint committee appointed to wait on the Hon. Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky, and inform him that he had been elected by the Senate to the office of Vice President of the United Stales, re ported that they had performed that duly, and had received the following letter, which they were requested to present to the Senate: To the Senate of the United States: Gentlemen, 1 have received, with no ordinary emotions, the notice thro' your committee of my elec tion to the oftice of Vice President of the United States bv.the Se nate. 1 accept the station assign ed me. Tliis token of regard ! from the representatives of the Monday morning on the Virginia States will ever be held in grate- s,de ot 'the Potomac, near Alex ful recollection. Permit me to andria, between William Schley, tender you my sincere thanks. i Observing that your decision I Maryland, and Win. Cost John is in harmony with a majority of, stem, Esq. late a member of Con the States, and a moiety of all the ; press from the State. Mr. Jeni electors in the primary colleges,! fer of Maryland, and Mr. Pickens my gratification is heightened,! of South Carolina, both members from the conviction that the Se-j of Congress, acted as the friend nate, in the exercise of their con-fMr. S.and Mr.AVise of Virgin- siuutionai prerogative, concurred with, and confirmed the wishes both of the Slates and the people. Called, in virtue of this prefer ment, to preside in the delibera tions of your enlightened body, from and after the third of March next, permit me to make use of this opportunity to say, that I can not feel insensible to difficulties which I must anticipate, and Ihe frequent occasion 1 mav have for your forbearance. Though for thirty years a member of one or the other of the two House of Congress, yet I have never been accustomed to preside, even tem porarily, over either, or in any uciiucuuve assemuiy. :iy aj teniion has generally been en- grossed by the more immediate acts ot egislauon, without special regard to the minuteness of rules and orders so necessary ,o the progress of business, and so im- portnnt to the observance of the presiding officer. Contemplating the character of m v distinguished predecessors, and considering my deficiency in point of talent, and the want of experi ence for the appropriate duties of the station, it is impossible for 'me to overcoine entirely-llie diffidence with' which I meet this call of my fellow-citizens. But this reflec tion will always console me, that any errors on my. part will aflVct me personally rather than the pub lic; the intelligence of the Senate will guard the country from any injury that might result from the j imperfections of its presiding of ficer, and its magnanimity will cover those imperfections with the veil of charity. In this conclu sioo, I find a warrant in contem- plating among the members of ' ...c..u, . whom I have been associated in h $ m . t)e evem if an , (livisim, of tlie Senate tjial lne presiding officer is called upon to give his vote. My hope is, that there may be always suffi cient unanimity to prevent such a contingency. If, however, it should happen, this duly will be familiar to me, and I shall perform it with out embarrassment. In exercis ing this power, I shall expect the same indulgence that I have ever extended to others, where differ ences of opinion existed. To the Senate the most impor tant trusts are committed. Its duties are legislative, executive, and, in certain contingencies, ju dicial. As citizens, every branch of our Government is dear to usj but, from my more immediate re lation to this, by your choice, 1 shall regard it with special inter est. It stands pre-eminent in tal ent and character. In presiding; over its deliberations, it shall be j my effort to act with perfect re-1 spect and impartiality towards every member, and endeavor, by this course of conduct, to merit; the approbation of all. R. M. JOHNSON. City of Washington Feb. 10, 1837. House of Representatives. Mr. Thomas, from the joint commit tee appointed to wait on Martin Van Buren of New York, and in form hirn that he had been duly elected President of the United States, reported that they had per formed that duiv; and that MR. VAN BUREN express ed, in reply, his grateful sense of the distinguished honor which his fellow-cilizens had conferred upon him, and requested us to assure our respective Houses that they might rely on his unceasing efforts to execute the responsible trust about to devolve . upon him, in a manner the most conducive to the public interest. A Duel. We learn from the Washington Telegraph, that in consequence of some personal re- marks, a meeting took place on Esq. a member of the Senate of j n, and Oen. Uampbell ot South Carolina, as the friends of Mr. J. The parties were placed at twelve paces, back to back, and exchang ed a single fire. Both shots took effect, Mr Schley being slightly wounded in the thighand Mr. Johnson in the knee. The ball was extracted on the ground by Dr. Hall. The parties were re conciled. CCThe Hon. Richard E. Par ker was elected, on Wednesday, a Judge of the Court of Appeals, to supply the vacancy in tiiat body caused by the death of Judge Carr. This election creates a vacancy in tlie National Senate, lo a seal in whirl, l,i.i ParU,lUo,0L.,,,i shortly after the commencement of the present session of Congress, We have not learned, who will probably be Judge P's successor, fc pet Co 7The Globe contains the Official opinion of President Jack son on the proceedings of. the Cobrt of Inquiry, ordered to in vestigate the causes of the delay in the campaign against the Creek Indians. "The President disap proves the opinion' of the Court, and remits toil the proceedings in question, to the end that the Court may resume the eyjdeuce." (E7Ve have been requested to direct the attention of our citizens to tlie necessity which will soon exist, for a spacious and commo dious Hotel in this place. We understand that the Rail Road Company have resolved forthwith to esta blisha daily Hue of stages between this place and Halifax, and a line of steam packets, to piy between our town and Charleston. To meet the increased travel, con sequent upon the establishment of these lines, additional accommo dations will be necessary, and as they go into operation so soon as the preliminary arrangements can be made, it js advisable that prompt measures be adopted. IVilmington Ado. Executive Council. The Coun cil met in this City, on Thursday last, to advise with the Governor concerning the appointment of three Commissioners of the Lit erary Fund, and two members of the Board of Internal Improve ment. The following Councillors were in attendance, viz: Allen Ro gers, of Wake, Geo. Williamson, of Caswell, Allen Goodwin, of Chatham, Charles E. Johnston, of Chowan, and Archibald H. Davis, of Franklin. Gov. Dudley nominated, as Commissioners of the Literary Fund, Ebenezer Pettigrew, of Tyrrell, DauJ W Stone and Charles t Manly, of Raleigh; and, n; members of the Board of Inter nal Improvement, Cadwallader Jones, of Hillsboro', and William D. Mosely, of Lenoir. The ap pointments were confirmed by the Council, without a dissenting voice. Francis L. Dancy, Esq. of Tar boro', having declined accepting the appointment of Councillor, conferred upon him by the Legis lature, Gov. Dudley, in pursuance of the provisions of an Act of As sembly, nominated James W. Clark, Esq. of the same town, to fill the vacancy; but the Council did not act upon the nomination, entertaining some doubt of their power to fill vacancies in their own body. No other business coming before them, the Council adjourn ed. It will be seen from the nomina tions made by Gov. Dudley, that he adheres in practice to the pledge made in his Inaugural, that he should always act as the Go vernor of the Slate and not of a Party. Hal. lieg. A good beginning.-It will be recollected that the Legislature ordered a portion of its Surplus Revenue to be applied to the re demption of the Scrip, issued by the Slate in 183G, to raise money to take the Stock reserved for it in the Bank of the State. Imme diately, on the adjournment of the Legislature, Gov. Dudley appoin ted Gen. Samuel F. Patterson, our lale Treasurer, a Commission er, to proceed to Washington for the purpose, if practicable, of car rying the wishes of the Legisla ture into effect. We are highly gratified to state, that Gen. Pat terson has succeeded in accom plishing the obiect of h is missinn indirectly, by the purchase of Three hundred thousand dollars j worth of Stock of the State of Alabama, which the Secretary of War has agreed to receive, in lieu of that amount ol North Carolina Stock held by him in trust for the Cherokee Indians. So that the State is now, by this operation, entirely relieved from debt. ib. Murder. A shocking Murder was perpetrated in Franklin coun ty a few days since. A man, by the name of Burnett, shot his bro ther's son, & killed him instantly, under circumstances of great ag gravation. He immediately (Led.ib.

Pasteur, and R. G. Moore, late proprietors of this paper, have dissolved the copartnership here tofore existing between them; and the Spectator will hereafter be conducted by Mr. Pasteur alone. INDIAN WAR. The Darien Telegraph of the 4th iust. has the following: "We learn, that a letter was re ceived by George Yonge, Esq. of this city, from the army, contain ing the gratifying intelligence that Oseola has come into Jesup'scamp with 300 warriors. The great chief formed his men into line leaned himself against a tree and when the U. S. Officer, who was deputed lo receive him, came up, he approached him, and gave up! his rifle with all the grace of a fal- j len hero." The Florida War may, there fore, .be considered fairly at an end; an event upon which we con gratulate the country and all par ties concerned. Never, perhaps, was there a war, in which so much treasure was expended, and so ma ny valuable lives sacrificed, for so few laurels gained to the victors. Mexico. The news of the lib eration of Santa Anna has reach ed Mexico, and is greeted with public expressions of joy and sat isfaction, too decided in their character to leave any further doubt as to the reception he will! meet with upon his arrival at home. He is to be received as the virtual head of the nation and will no doubt continue to exercise the same authority on the country which belonged to him prior to his late reverses in Texas. Riot in Ntw York. The New York papers give an account of a meeting in that city, on the 13th, to take into consideration the high price of provisions, which ended in a riot, and the destruction of j several hundred barrels of flour, at the stores of Mr. Hart and S. H. Herrick. The loss of the for mer gentleman, in flour, books, Uc. is said to be $10,000. The Star says there was much pillag ing by negroes, &ic. The mob wasfinally dispersed by the milita ry, and several disorderly persons arrested. Flour. The Cincinnati Post of 27th ult. says: "There are not less than one hundred thousand barrels of flour in the towns upon the Ohio river, from Pittsburg to its mouth, waiting a clear river and a good stage of watpr to be sent to market." The quantity of whiskey in Cincinnati is stated to be nearly eight thousand bar rels! Washington Market, Feb. 21. Turpentine, new. dip, $2 10; Old $2 00. Tar,$l 60. Whig. Petersburg Market, Feb. 20.
