Sir: Both Houses of Congress are now en gaged in attending the funeral of Mr. Betts, Senator trom L-onnecucut, wno tueu yesier day morning at his lodgings in this city. believe the Senators from that Slate were divided in their politics, and that Mr. Smith the survivor is an administration man. There being nothing of interest to write about at present; the chances for a war with Great Britain are not so much spoken of as a short time since, and what has become of the abolition candidate for the Presidency, old Gen. Harrison, were it not for the news paper squibs, would be difficult to say, as the fever has already so much subsided that you can Scarcely hear him spoken of at the Capitol, you must put up with a short let ter. o far from his being able to succeed jn defeating our present able and worthy Chief Magistrate, Mr. Van Buren, he will be beaten so far that the federalists will feel ashamed that they had ever joined the northern fanatics in the support of their nominee. That it will be a thorn in their side ever hereafter for having done so cannot be denied by any one, as it is a fact too plain not to be seen and under stood by every one why they did so. I am informed by the best informed members from his own State, Ohio, as well by those from Indiana and Illinois that he 'cannot carry neither of those States.- The Ohio gentlemen say he is too well known in that State to be so different from what his adherents abroad have represented him and taken all sorts of means to induce the people to believe is true, that he cannot net the State by ten thousand votes. The South is unanimous in her opposition to hi m ; -E-fi..auu rvm un ly dc in pan ior mm, & I have never believed but what NewYork would support her favorite son, and that Pennsylvania will go for Mr. Van Buren no one can doubt; so the Presidential question I consider as settled. The next most important election in your State and which comes first, is the election for Governor and members to the legislature. It is highly important for many consideration that your democratic nominee, JudgoSaunders should he elected as it might have some effect on the fall election, as well as give cause of exultation to the Harrison abolition whigs in the oth er States as being an indication of his get ting the vote of North Carolina. But what would be a total defeat to the democratic party in the Old North State in the present state of political affairs, would he, not to carry the Legislature on joint ballot. Your worthy Senators as is well known are un der a pledge to resign to the next Legisla ture, and should the whigs have a majority they will of course be left out, and Han ison men elected to fill their places; and how think ye that good old democratic anti-ab olition State would look with Harrison Stnators in Congress, or in other words. Senators representing the interest of inter nal improvement, high tariff, United States Bank, and the Northern fanatics, in place of a strict construction of the consti tution and their own Southern interests which are known and acknowledged to be antipodes to those above named? Rely up- un ii uic uung win be well. understood by tne people Deiore the August election, na inai mey win never suffer such a de gradation U their former consistent republi- t S Air. Corwin of the ttouse, who is! the Harrison whig nominee for Governor of Ohio, took occasion on the Cumberland road appropriation to nuke a good election eering Harrison .perch, of which, besides what have already been sent off and the thousand that may be hereafter sent, was informed that there were m prepara tion to be mailed yesterday by different member.", four thousand copies. This is the way the people's money is wasted for the purpose of electioneering for the old Granny and his candidate for Governor. Something has happened to very much quiet your young federal Representative, as he has been a little more decent of late. CONGRESS. In the Senate, the bill providing for the continuance of the Cumberland Road through the States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, has been rejected after an animated discussion, by a majority of two Mr. Clay vott;d against it. In the House of Representatives, on the 9th inst. the resolution submitted by Mr. Hand, calling upon the Secretary of War for what works he considered necessary to be constructed in order to place the North eastern frotiiiers in a proper state of de fence, came up fur consideration. On motion of Mr. Wise, the resolution was so amended as to authorize the Secretary to report a full and c onnected system of nation il defence, embracing steam and floating batteries, for coast and harbor de fence. The resolution, as thus amended, was pissed. (jpA correspondent of the Washing ton Republican writes as follows: Pitt county, April, 1S40. Sir: Alexander H. Russell, PostMas: ter at Seiiffleton, Greene County, N. C, has lately absconded, carrying off not only the Government deposites, but those of his confiding neighbours, to the tune of nmptpn or t welve thousand dollars. Had not this "office-holder" been a file leader in the "Whig" ranks, in both Greene and Pitt counties, it would have gone off as a matter of course; but doubt ess the whole affair is char gt able to the Independent Treasury and President Van Buren. So wi 1 the Whigs say. From the Washington Republican. Republican Meeting in Martin. A large and respectable meeting of the Repub licans of Martin county, convened at the Court Housejn Williamston, on Saturday, 4th April 1540, according to previous no tice. Capt. JESSE COOPER, was called to the Chair, and Laurence Cherry and A. S. Mooring were appointed Secretaries. On mition of Col. Asa Biggs, Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to submit resolutions expressive ot the sentiments of this meeting. The Chair appointed Col. Biggs, Dr. VVm. S. Woodward, and Alfred S. Cherry, Esq. to constitute said Committee. The Committee retired for a short time and having returned, reported the follow ing resolutions, the sentiments contained in whichu ere furcibly inculcated in a ve ry appropriate and patriotic Address by Col. Biggs. The resolutions were then unanimously adopted as follows: 1. Resolved That this meeting concur in the proposition to hold a meeting at Button's X Roads on Saturday next, for the purpose of appointing a delegate to the Baltimore Convention from this Congres sional district. 2. Resolved, That be appointsd delegates from this County to said meeting. 3. Resolved, 1 hat this meeting concur in the proposiiion to hold a meeting of del egates from the Counties comprising this Electoral District at Windsor, on the 25th of May next, for the purpose of appointing an Elector pledged to sustain the principles of the Democratic party by voting for the present Chief Magistrate. 4. Resolved, That he appointed delegates from this county Jo said meeting. 5. Resolved, That in MAR TIN VAN BUREN, we have a wise, firm, honest, and patriotic Chief Magistrate, by whom we expect tne lomimsirauon ot our Gov ernment will continue tube conducted up on Democratic principles, londly cherish ed by us, as he has on all occasions steadily adhered to, and advocated such principles; and although his re-election would disappoint a host of office seekers and consign to moral oblivion the modern whig party, never to be heard of again un: der that title, this meeting will with the greatest cordiality unite in his re-election. b. Itcsoived, that we respond to the nomination of ROMULUS M. SAUN DERS, as the Republican candidate for Governor of North Carolina, by avowing 10 give mm a cordial support next summei Can wc do otherwise, when in his name is presented a consistent and undevialing Democrat one who has tilled important offices with dignity and acknowledged ability one who though poor, at the call of his country sacrificed the emoluments of a lucrative and honorable office to sustain ui . piuciuies. auu we ao assure our Republican brethren that Mahtin is not unmindful of such a distinguished son of me oiu iorth Mate, and we challenge any of our sister Counties to shew through the u-iuoi uox a more sincere and hearty res ponse to th nomination of the Democratic Convention. 7. Resolved, That we cannot support Wm. II. Harrison because he is inrom petent, and if elected is to be controlled by the counsels of men whoie principles we spurn and detest as moch as those of Har rison himself, who when in active life vo ted out of HUMANITY, .to sell poor White Men at public auction. The' blank in the 2d resolution was fill ed with the names of A. S. Cotten, Dr, W. S. Woodard and Laurence Cheiry. The blank in the 4th resolution was fill ed with the names of John Watts, Juliu: S.

The meeting then adjourned to meet on Tuesday ot April Court. JESSE COOPER, Chm'n. L. Cherry, Sc's A. S. Mooring. $ The prospect before t.--From all parts of this widely extended country, we hear the notes of preparation for the com ing Presidential contest. The prospects of the Democratic Republican party never vvpr mnre cheerinc. The advocates of equal lavvsand equal rights are active and zealous, and we trust their efforts will be crowned with success. The "first gun" his been fired in New Hampshire, and the Democratic parly are triumphant. In New York and Michigan, the charter elections show a vast increase to the same party. From various parts of our own Sta'e, we hear the most cheering accounts every thing seems to augur well for Re publican principles. The Democracy are roused they are determined to meet the efforts of the Federalists with correspon ding exertions. The Whigs, as is their custom, are seizing on every thing, out of which to manufacture political capital. They publish in their newspapers they tell it in the streets, that the present em barrassed condition of the country and the depressed price of produce, is attribu table to the action of the General Govern ment & to the anticipated passage of the In dependent Treasury bill. They say all this for political effect, and they presume much on the ignorance of the people. For they must know, that these evils have been produced by a wide and ruinous system of overtrading and overoanKing. The evils which they have brought on themselves they falsely charge to the ad ministration. But, thank Ood, tne peo ple are nut so easily deceived, they begin to perceive the workings of this machine- ry, and the designs or. tne nans uigs, and indue time will assert their rights. Fayttteville Car. Good News From Virginia. J ohn Taylor, iun., of Caroline, one of the elec tors on the federal ticket, declines. He cannot support Harrison. Wm. P. Tay lor, the eldest son of the celebrated John Taylor, of Caroline, has also renoun ced Harrisonism, in a most scorching ad dress to the editor of the Richmond Whig, but which that paper refused to publish. And yet another. Mr. Tazewell, the ablest man in Virginia, on the whig side, has also renounced his party and will go for Van Buren. All is rijiht in old Virgi nia. O. Statesman. Wilmington Chronicle. The primini materials of the "Wilmington Chronicle" were destroyed by fire on the night of the 17th of January. rl he publication ot that paper was, of course suspended, but wc are happy to see a number of the first of April, by which we perceive that our worthy friend Mr. Brown is on his feet again. He is richly entitled to the support and encour agement of his party, by his industry and enterprize; and often sets an example of moderation to his political friends, which it would be well for them they had the grace to follow. Ral. Stand. Another Whig Sub-treasurer gone. The President of the Dry Dock Bank, New York City, has proved a defaulter to the amount of 80,000. Will the Whigs still insist that Banks are always safe de positories of the public monies? to. Domestic Manufactures. The South is rapidly becoming indrpendent of the North, in almost every branch of Manu factures. There are in North Carolina alone, at this day, a greater number of fac tories of different kinds than ten years ago there were in the whole Southern States! We have just seen a specimen of the Nails manufactured at the Factory of Messrs. Barton and Fullenwider, of Lincoln county, not only from native Ore, but on a Machine, we learn, also of domestic con struction. The Iron Ore of Lincoln is pronounced to be equ.il to any in the world; and we have somewhere seen or heard the anecdote, that a blacksmith in Charleston, who had a quantity of Lincoln Iron in his shop, was obliged to toefs it up, to keen his workmen away from it; for they declared it was so good an article, it af forded them real ploasure to work it: Ral. Reg. Steamboat Occident. The steamer Salem, Capt. Blood, on her way to St; Louis from New Orleans, was snageed on the 13th March last, near Island Hobb. The night was very dark. It happened at nine o'clock. She was extricated from her perilous situation oy the stren uous exertions of her officers, and run,a shore upon the banks, where she broke a part lengthwise, and the wreck sunk. The passengers and crew were saved, but the cargo and all the baggage was a total loss. The Ravel Family were on board, and lost, in eash. dresses and property, 20,000 A Miss Corns, a danseuse, was stripped of the earnings of her winter s campaign and wardrobe. The passengers, after remain ing un to their knees in water all night, weie taken oil next morning:' some going up, and a lew returning down the river, the cargo was estimated at 25100,000. Pet. Statesman. Does England desietoar The Boston Post says, '-it is tho't by some that Eng land desires a collision with the U. States, and as ev idence of this feeling, the New York Slarsajs, that in a recent conversa tion between Lord Palmerston and Mr. Stevenson on the subject of the burning of the Caroline, Lord Palmerston distinctly justified that ait, and indicated in a man ner not to be misunderstood, th t no rep aration would be offered fur lh.it affair, and if Canada was ever invaded from our lines heieafter by any portion of our citi zens, they would foith with cross and in vade this country, and thai war was pref erable to this armed neutrality." ib.

DAVID McDANI EL, Proprietor. March 31, 1S40. HUH KSE Pills are no longer nmonv those of doubtful utility. They have passed aw.y from ihe hundreds that are daily launched upon "the tide of experi ment," and now stand bgfore the public higher in reputation, and more extensive ly employed in all parts of the United States, the Canad&s, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, than any medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They have been intrWu cpd wherever it was found possible lo car ry them; and there are but few towns that do not contain some remark-ible evidences of their good e(T cts. The certificates that have been presented to Ihe proprietor exceed twenty thousand, upwards of fiva hundred of which are from regular practi sing physicians who are the mostcouipe tMit judges of their merits. Oiten have the cures performed by this medicine been the subj-.-ct of editorial comment in various newspapers and journals; and it may with truth br assor ted, that no medicine of the kind has ever received testimonials of greater value than are attached to this. They are in general use as a family medicine; and there are thousands f lam ilies who declare they have a supply al ways on hand. They have no rival-in curing and pre venting Bilious Fevers, Fever and Agui Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Head ache, Jauivdice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheu matism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Colic, Female Obstructions, Heart burn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Dimen sion of the Stomach and bowels, I ncif i ent Diarrheal, Flatulence, Habitual Cus livenes, Loss of Appetite? blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in all cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is neetled.
