(jNo. 4 of "Curator" in our next. 3 We publish to-day the law respect ing the Independent Treasury, and earnest ly invite attention to its provisions. This measure has been tortured, t isted, and misrepresented in such a manner by the Federal whigs, that the plain, honest and well - meaning part ol the community have been sadly perplexed to know whut it means. It will be found to be simply as Us UUc ilulicalea An act t0 provi(le for . ... r . . .. . the co,lcct,on' safe keePS nd disbursement of the public revenue." And what man can reasonably object to this act of the General Government, when he re members that it was suddenly deprived of all its constitutional funds by its faithless depositaries, and compelled to resort to-various expedients to sustain its credit and fulfil its obligations. The Independent Treasury has been styled by its opponents a Government Bank, yet the reader will seek in vain for the provisions to author ize the receiving of deposites, discounting. trading in bills of exchange, or issuing notes for circulation, the only prominent features in legitimate banking operations. In fact, all the clamor that has arisen against this wise and salutary measure, pro ceeds Irom the bank aristocracy, or their adherents, who are thereby deprived of the funds of the government for purposes of profit or speculation.

Since the passage of the Independent Treasury bill the public mind seems composed as regards monetary affairs, and trade is resuming its wonted activity. All the banks in South Carolina and the District of Columbia have resumed specie payments, and the Banks in North Carolina and Virginia avow a determina tion to do the same, as soon as those ol Maryland and Pennsylvania resume. All that is now wanting to dispel panics, restore confidence, enable those who are living in log cabins to get into comfortable houses, and prevent those who are living in com fortable houses from being driven into log cabins, is the re-election of Martin Van Buren, which we confidently assure our readers will certainly take place in No vember next.

"Go ahead," "Tippe," your "cabin" is a going, Eleven knots an hour "up Salt River" roaring; No one but yourself and your "keepers three" on board, Engaged in swigging "cider" from your "hard cider" gourd. Rest of your "swiggies" and the "bobalition" clan Are all upon the shore "hurraing" to a man, Looking at your "cabin skimmin o ertne waier, Mr. Ti, coon skins, and barrels fluatin "arter." Under steam of "cider" your "cabin" runs a streak, Mimicking a steam boat along the Chesapeake; Confounding the "small fish" in noisy glorification, Humbugging, bamboozling the yeomen ot the na- tion( Abolition "blue lights" and Southern "swiggies" all, November ensuing will cease for "Tip" to brawl; 'Cause 'fore the "cabin" stops "old Tippe" rowed will be. Entire "up Salt River,M in spite of his "keepers three." From all accounts there is not a city in the Union, but what has a "log cabin" erec ted in its most central part. Even Ra- lei h, our seat of government, can boast of one, placed in ridiculous contrast with our most magnificent Capitol ot a hall a trill ion of dollars cost, the money to be raised by the laborers of "log cabins" and cotta ges to pay for its grand construction. For the pampered idlers of marble palaces nev er raise any thing but panics and distress, or cry wolf, when there is no wolf," to deceive the ignorant; consequently, the burden falls upon the men of "log cabins," who are mocked and insulted by those who they work for and support in their idleness and extravagance. These politi cal "log cabins" of city locatian, for the most part are decorated with coon skins and mink skins, cider barrels and cider gourds, strings of red pepper pods, baby clouts, dish clouts, and all the parapherna lia of extreme rural poverty, with the ge nii of "General Mum," or "Hero of I ip- pecanoe, the uritisn whig candidate lor the Presidency, a proud aristocratic nabob of the first water, as proprietor and land lord swigging hard cider from a long necked gourd, and munching "hoe cake" and 'taloes in mockery of the poor laboring tenants of the "log cabins" of the country. And now, O ye hard wrorking "huge paws," ye "bone and sinew" of the Re public,' who do ye suppose are the ingeni ous architects of these humble "log cab ins," erected in our most sublime and opu lent cities, wherein lofty palaces, domes and spires pierce the very clouds and look down with silent derision upon the "log cabins" in their vicinities, and upon you their humble tenants, the "servile rout," as Nick Uiddle the bank king termed ye? ! ! Why, let me tell ye, (don't be astonished,) the architects of these political "log cab ins" are no other (with the exception of a few poor gulls,) than "all the wealth, all the talents, and all the decency party," as they style their dignified selves, such as ciry mayors and aldermen, DanR presi dents ana cashiers, doctors and probably divines, lawyers and purse proud mer chants, abolitionists, Hartford Convcntion ists, commingled with a host of Southern slaveholders, all British whigs and would be British lords and dignitaries, whereby to lord it over the land and reduce ye to the condition of Russian serfs or vassals, place ye upon a level with the Africans, and paint ye as a natural consf quen'ce in all the motley, mongrel beauties of amalgama tion. The object of all this ridiculous mockery of ve, my poor worthy friends of the plough and the jack plane, on the part of the rich and "well born" of the land, is nothing more nor less than to gull ye and cajole ye into their ranks, to enlist your votes by means of "log cabin" shows and "hard cider" for their British whig abolition candidate, William II. Harrison, of Ohio, whereby to make him President of the United States, and through him to pave the way to a monarchy. To effect this, their first and favorite measuie would be to charter another great National Bank, (a monster fourfold more monstrous than tbe late U. S. Bank.) with a capital suffi cient to sway the sect)! re of political pow er, to swallow up our benign constitution with no less voracity, than the whale that swallowed Jonah, and plant a monarchy on the ruins of the American republic, with hereditary kings, lords and nobles, and all the pageantry and trappings of royalty. That their object to bring about such a state of things in uur country is moie than, pro bable, and should they ever succeed, (which God forbid,) imagine to yourselves ye men ol toil, what would be your condi tion. Why, little better portiaps than the condition of brutes; as I before said, you would be reduced to a level with the sooty Africans in motley monirrel comminfrk- ment, the "drawers of water and hewers ot wood" toireiher. the "nack horses of the nihility, as is the rase in Great Hri- tain, doomed to toil and strive from morn till night and from night till morn to sup port a "gilded aristocracy," in all the splendor, pomp and circumstance" most congenial to despotism. "Who's so base as be a slave, Who would fill a "vassal's" grave, Poor men, turn and fiei;." Yes, ye humble tenants of rural "cabins" and coitages, ye, the main piliars upon which the republic rests, "turn and flee" the proud and haughty ranks of your insi-- dious enemy General William Henry Har rison, alias General .Mum, and rally around the standard of Yran lkiren and liberty in November next. Go to the polls like un trammelled freemen, and boldly and inde pendently cast your votes for the succcss sorof the immortal Jackson, who like that bold and unflinching patriot has battled for ye and the constitution with Herculean "might and main," ever since he has been in your service. Yes, noble yeomen, rush to the polls like a tornado, and sweep Brit tish whiggery before ye with the besom of popular indignation. Cleave to Van Bu ren and the constitution with the hug of death, your liberties call aloud for it, and your posterity demand it. A POOR MAN. (ty Willhm Henry Haywood, jr.

Yet why should man al heaven's behest repine, Or tax with partial laws the power divine? Wise heaven knows all things, all for best ordains, Nor sees with careless eye our mortal pains, Through the dark vale of tears, our feet must press The long, the painful road to happiness; A state of trial knows no constant ease, Bitter the cup which cures the mind's disease. But sure to nature may some tears be given, A generous grief musi claim the praise of heaven. Then let me weep to friendship ever true, To friendship, muse, this plaintive lay be due.

He sought in a far distant land for repose, From dire persecution and strife; For long had he suffered the malice of fues, To embitter his' moments of life. He found an asylum and Imped to enjoy Still a portion of happiness here; But alas! fell disease, which our hopes oft de stroy, Soon ended his mortal career. And when he was thus to the mansion con sign'd, V hence mortal can never return, He left a dear friend and relation behind. His premature exit to mourn. P11IL0. Tarboro', July 27, 1840. (0 Elder E.
