Bryan first publicly declar ed himself a candidate on Saturday last.) Sherff Wm. D. Petway, re-elected without opposition. The official statement of the Polls in the different districts in the county, will appear in our next. The aggregate vote for the Commons as reported is: For Bry an 6! I, Baker 582, James George 344. For Governor, in 13 out of the 17 dis tricts, Branch 449, Dudley 101. Q7We learn from Pitt, that Alfred Bloye (Whig) is re-elected to the Senate without opposition ard that John L Foreman and John C. Gorham (Whigs) are elected to the Commons, by a small majority over their Republican competi tors. C?"The Elections in Louisiana have terminated in favor of the Whigs. They have carried their Representatives to Con gress, Governor and Legislature by large mnjorities. Address to the people of the U. States. The Globe contains an Address, adopted at a meeting of the Republican members of the Senate and House of Representatives, held at the Capitol, July G, 1838, the Htm. John M. IViles, of Connecticut, and the Hon. Charles E. Hatnes of Georgia, being Chairmen, and the Hon. George M. Krim, of Pennsylvania, and the Hon.. L. Turney, of Tenuessee, at ting as Sec retaries. We shall embrace an early op portunity to lay this Address before our readers, embodying as it does, "a full and frank avowal of the political opinions and principles" of the Democratic Republican party. Shocco Springs. We are truly gratified to learn, that the visitors at this delightful summer retreat are mpidly accumulating. There is now not only a large, but, com pany of the most refined and agreeable or der; amongst them Gov. Dudley and fami ly, and many others of distinction, ft has been a subject of remark, and often a source of regret, that those who purpose visiting Shocco, defer it until a late period in the season; and the consequences are, that they go there sicl or are apt to be so after they arrive. The inducements held out by this attractive Watering Place, for those who are in pursuit of health or recreation, to q-m the low country this warm weather, we conceive to be almost irresistible. United Slates, showing lha ,rto i. bays, mouths of rivers, and through where said channels are intricate, to ted by buoys, or in such, other suitable manner he may direct. The Hon. Edward Stanly introduced a resolution in the early part of the session, for the purpose of procuring so'ne such survey, but its success was exceedingly doubtful. The waters of "Pamlico, Al bemarle, and Core Sounds" were inserted in the above resolution on Mr. S's. motion. He had this done, because the northern representatives were forced to vote for it. It is not to be inferred from this, however, that Mr. Stanly is an adveocate for a ge neral and expensive system of internal im provements. We know him loo well to believe this; but, like many of ihe Virginia States right men, and others, he deems it proper and just, that our northern mem bers should vote for our appropriations, at the same time they vote money lor their own parts of the country. It is in this way, alone, we shall ever be able to get any works ol internal improvements car ried on in 'North Carolina. Most of us are opposed lo internal improvements b the general government; aiid there are many and strong objections to it : it in creases patronage, and encourages extra vagance. The money Iroin the land ought, we think, to be divided among the States, and then we should be able lo t arry on our own improvements. We believe i tie system has been carried too far; but we hold it perfectly right, that when mea sures of this sort are proposed by our northern men, we ought lo make ihem vote for our works also. From the Washington IV lug of July 24. Congress through our tfuYicnt repre sentative, Mr. Stanly, has appropriated $5000 for removing the obstruction al the shoal near this town. T.nnd Valuation. The new regulation under the act of ihe last session of ihe Le eislature, providing for the more uniform and iust valuation ol lands, is nueiy u re sult in a very handsome increase ol the re venue.

Dear Sir: On my return home last night I found among my other letters one from you dated the 18th instant, containing the following interrogatory. "Are you or are you not a citizen of North Carolina, and do you consider this State your homer I his I will lose no time in answering; and in the language of the Editor of the Star, will say that if any thing could have sur prised me, in this day of degeneracy and mendacity, it would have been the bold and unqualified assertion ot a falsehood by gentlemen in whose veracity I had been wont to rcnose confidence. Wrut their motives are, is but too apparent they are tired of hearing myself and Qers called the firm friends of the good old faith of 1798-99. It is a standing reproach to their degeneracy and recreant principle, and hence they would adopt the Athenian mode, and ostracise me. They shall be disappointed! 1 have never done any thing to disfranchise or expatriate myseli. I am a native born North Carolinian, de scended from a long line of native born ancestors, residing on my patrimonial es tate at this place, and owning (two miles from here) the plantation on which 1 was born. It is true that I have a plantation in Florida, on which I occasionally reside in the winter and spring, surrounded by seve ral of my children, and many friends, en deared to me by the lendcrest recollections. It is also true that my name has been an nounced in tho Tallahassee papers as a can didate for the Convention to form a State Constitution, under the following circum stances : I was applied to by many of the citizens of Leon county to assist them in forming their State Constitution. This 1 objected to on the ground that I did not mean to interfere with the politics of Flo rida. They remarked that I at all events had a deep interest in the future growth, and prosperity of the Territory, and that she was entitled to such aid as 1 could con veniently give her during my sojourn among them. All of which I could but acknowledge, and upon the strength of it, the Editor of the Watchman first announc ed my name. All who are in the habit of associating with me, know, I proudly boast that North Carolina is and ever will he my home, that I am loo old to bear transplant- ing even to a ncner son. LSut sir, what is a Territory? A plantation belonging to the Stales. Her organization and lawscn tirely under the supervision and control of the Uencral Government; and of course entitled in her infant struggles to every aid from the parent States. " I thank vou for the just views which prompted you to make the enquiry and properly appreciate them. With much respect I am yours &c. JOHN BRANCH. (J"Hon. Levi Woodbury, Secretary of the treasury, has published his letter ot June 9, in which he formally declined the appointment of Chief Justice of New Hampshire. ftWe learn thai on Saturday last, at Sparta in this county, Etisha Pippcn, in assisting to prepare a barbacue at a mus ter, was so far overcome by heat and liquor, as to cause his death in a few hours. Resumption of Specie Payments. We are authorized to state that the Bank of the State of North Carolina, and its branches, will resume spicie payments on the 1st of next month, August. The Bank of Cape-Fear, and its Branches, and the Merchants' Bank of Newbern, will, of course, resume at the same lime. No Banks in the Union are better able to fulfil their obligations than the Banks of North Carolina. Raleigh Standard. The Elections.

We copy the following, from the Washington Whig of ihe 3d inst. for mailer of present reflection and fulure reference : We had intended before this, lo inserl the following joint resolution for the "sur yey of the lakes7 (which we copy from the iNalioual Intelligencer,) but the circu lars of our county candidates, lately pub lished in the Whig, compelled us to defer this and several other articles we had on file. "The joint resolution" for the sur vey of the lakes, in which "the waters ol Pamlico, Albemarle, and Core Sounds" are included was read a third time and passed in the following form : Resolved by the Senate and House of Representa tive! of the United States of dmerica in Congress assembled, That the President of the United States is hereby authorized to cause such parts of UOttC iuf, 01. viair, uuron, iviiciugan, and Charoplain,and the bays contiguous, and the river3 and straits connected with said lakes, and the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, and the rivers, straits, and creeks, adjacent thereto, and also the waters ot 1'amlico, Albemarle, and Core Sounds, as are within the United States, to be surveyed, when he may deem the same to be necessary to add security and safety to the navigation or com merce on tnoseaters, or lor any naval or military operations that may be required on the same for the protection and defence of tho Northern fron tier, and accurate maps of such surveys to be made; and tor that purpose he is hereby author Prom the N Carolina Journal Extra.

Har rison has been dropped by the very c ham pions who pressed him forward in 1836, and Henry Clay is to be the candidate of the Whigs. This is clear from the tfiorls which have been pompously and assidu ously made to trumpet him forth on there cent anniversary. We beg the reader lo con over ihe Whig toasts in Nansemond, which we have been requested to publish, Was there ever a jumble ol toasts more fulsome in their fl tilery of Ihe W ing can didate more coarse and illiberal in their vituperation of the friends of Air.

His career, thus far in life, has been a career of glory, and he has achieved that for his country, whilst engaged in her cause, which would ornament the bright est place in the escutcheon of ihe must' fa vored statesman in any age or nation." The Lynchburg Virginian republishes tne extract Irom ihe :laysville Whig, to whom it expresses its obligation "for exhu ming the subjoined letter of the venerable bage ot Mouticello, and giving it to ihe public though we lear ihat Thomas J.
