other trumpery, not worth a great deal of it one cent, most 01 mc. -e value. Such is n- ijfinic ui tunc ui , questionably the project of the leader-o l- r,iMi nartr. in obedience to the sng fiction of the great fundholders inEng land made in their circular, and enforced hv their iourn.lls here. This also is part and parcel of the credit system, as well as ,.-f nf riiP hUmrv of the times. Let tho people beware how they put their trust in such a system or ine men wno suppun n A system founded in falsehood, one con tinu'.-d fraud; A superposition of lie npon lie Like Pelion on Ossa piled mountain high. This debt stock would be another part of the exclusive nrivilezes which the privile ged class would enjoy as a property free from tax, while they received the tax le vie J to pay the interest -which the produc tive labor of the country alone would pay. This is a double privilege, being exempt from a tax, the most onerous, which is hud for their .exclusive advantage. This con sideration alone ought to set every free man in this country against the project and the party interested in it. Will not the same causes, operating here produce the same effects as elsewhere? And is it not a pirtbf the history of that country from which we draw many of the evil in our system of trade and finance, that from their credit, their paper money, national debt, stock system, .a large portion of the people are paupers, unable to live without aid from government, and another large part of the laboring portion scarcely support themselves, and whenever the misfortune of a short crop is added to these other cau ses of suffering, they are threatened with starvation! If the people of this country are desirous of similar sufferings, let them advocate the same measures by supporting those striving to force them on the coun try. An additional evil in this plan of taxation would he, that as-the stock of the debt is principally held abroad, the inte rest annually paid would leave the coun try. The owners of this debt stock hav ing in it a profitable and productive prop erty, are not only unwilling it should be paid, but feel it due to their interest that it should be increased. W'hat did the opposiiion tell the people in regard to the establishment of a United States treasury? that it would be a great government bank. Well it is established and in operation. Is it a bank? Can any man with the best security borrow a dollar there, or get the best business note discoun ted? Nothing of all this. It has no attr i bute or faculty of a bank. It has however thisonp, which all banks ought to have it pays its debts," which few banks do. Did they say this from a wish to deceive, or from want of information? In either case, they are totally unworthy of confidence. And now let the people onlp reflect, who are to be the actual the real leaders and head, if Harrison is elected. Is it not no toriously understood, that Webster is to be placed in that line of s:ife pr.-cdents, which is to lead to the presidential chair when vacated by Harrison, who while there will be but the ostensible, while the heir apparent will he the power behind the throne greater than the throne, through which power his political associates in principle and policy will expert to receive office. Bui who are limy? The Hamilton and John Adams and Hartford Convention federalists, whose beau ideal of all good government was the Btiih government, wiih all its corruptions and oppressions, of which it may truly be said, that there is not and never has been a government un der whose oppressions a greater number of human beings suffer. And what has be n! by recent exhibitions shown to be the poli-! cv under these auspices to be nursued?! The whole farrago of the stock, paper mo ney credit system, assumption of debts of the States as a nucleus to an endless na tional d' bt, with the appendages and aids in producing it, high tariff, internal im provement, &c. &c. Again let me ask, people of the United States, arc you, the masses for all this? the expense and losse s upota which you must pay? Will you com mit political suicide on yourselves? If so, you will richly deserve your fate; because you will sin with your eyes open and against light and knowledge. In regard to one branch of the opposi tion, and that not the least dangerous espe cially to southern inUuests, and the con tinuance of the Union, let me refer you to the concentrated mass of information on the subject of abolition of slavery as pre sented in the letter of Mr. Fisher to the central commi'tee of Rowan county. This document shows clearly the designs of the abolition branch of the federal party, which in conjunction with the other branches, each pushing its own particular purpose while it aids the whole coalition, must of necessity it their views are carried out, prostrate our republican institutions, and overthrow our present system of govern in cut. This tripartite coalition consists of hun gry office-seekers, crying out, change, change, change, for the same reason that a hog shut out from the swill trough grunt at.d .queals to get in. Of b ink and stock mongers, who want the public money io trade upon, and therefore abuse the Presi dent and the law establishing a United States treasury. And lastly, the aboli tL.tiists, vvhoe views, reckless and ruinous as wuuui 'be ii - wii9ciucuucs, arc now DOinted annctota . . r r-- pouucians, and those in the country who are from pr inciple oppo sed to our republican form of government. Whatever Harrison may be, whether this or that, support him and you support all these, became they support him. Why is it that all this whole heterogeneous mass abuse and vilify the. President, has he wronged or abused one of them? Not so. Has he proved faithless or wicked, or be trayed the trusts reposed in him? They know better. The whole cause is, that he is in the way, in the posit ion they wish oc cupied by some other, who would not so sternly oppose their wicked and unprinci pled measures. In conclusion let ine say, this appeal is addressed to the honest and patriotic of all narties. It is the interest of all stfeh, that the evil machinations of the unprincipled of all parties preparing for the people of this country endless sutiering, snouru in put down now and forever. Let it not be recorded in future history, that within lit tle more than half a century, that republic founded upon principles which make it the s-av and the hope of the oppressed, an asy lum for the unfortunate, and the pride of ihe free, terminated its existence in the overthrow of its republican institutions, by the wickedness of its enemies acting upon the weak, selfish, and sensual appetites of the people. May God of his infinite mer cy defend u? and the world from such a ca lamity. Then let every lover of hiscoun tryarid her free pr inciples of govei nment be at his post. Let. not one be missing from the ballot box on the day of election, lest he mourn in sickcloth and ashes dur ing life, for having entailed curses on his poster ity for all time to come. m.

(JWe invite attention to the article in our preceding columns. It is from the pen of a veteran politician, who has viewed with a keen and sagacious eye the various mutations of party for a number of years past. (QWe are truly pleased to hear, that a laige number of the Democracy of Edge combe and Nash counties, assembled at Nolley's Cross Roads on Thursday last, to partake of a Public Dinner, agreeably to a notice published in this paper. It is esti mated that there were upwards of 1000 persons present. They were addressed by Win. Norfleet, Esq. of this place, who in an eloquent speech ably portrayed the merits and claims of the respective candi dates for the Presidency, and the promi nent characteristics of the two great poli tical parties of the clay. The weather was remarkably fine, and the utmost order and cordiality prevailed. OThe returns from the elections in Georgia exhibit a result favorable to the Democratic cause. Put as usual, ihe Fed etal Whigs claim an increase of strength in that State. In Baltimore, the Democracy have carried the day; but the re urns from other parts ol Maryland exhibit an increase of stnng'h in favor of ihe Whig", who again have elected a majority of ihe State Legisla ture. In Delaware, the Vhigs .have also car ried the day. In our next, we expect to give some cheering news frojn the elections in Penn sylvania. find in the Richmond Enquirer the following letter addressed to the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives. . Washington, Aus. 1th, 1840. My dear Sir: Your letter cf the 23d ult. enclosing an open one trom your consti tuent Mr. Griswold, was by some acci dent mislaid, and found only a day or two since. Considering the circumstances under which Mr. G. has thought proper to promulgate r most unfounded impu tation upon my public conduct, the course which he has pursued, his promise oi political impunity if I will sanction his unfounded .statements, and the scarcely disguised menace, that he will search for witnesses to prove it, if I do not so sanc tion it, I do not think it proper to enter into any correspondence with him upon the sub ject of his letter. It i3 however right, that I should pro tect myself against any other inference lhat might be drawn from the adoption of this course by declaring, as I now do to you, through whose hands Mr. O.'s communication has passed, lhat he is entire ly mistaken in supposing that he ever heard me fay any thing against the war. So far from expressing, 1 never for a mo ment harbored a feeling adverse either to its declaration, or to its vigorom prose cution after it was declared. What was done by me in favor of both, will appear from the public archives and the cotemporaneous history of the country. All imputation, theielore, which attribute different sentiments to me, from whatever quar ter they have proceeded, or may pro ceed, are grossly unfounded. 1 hat I supported electors favorable to Mr. Clinton, has never been denied. The circumstances under which that support was given, and the considerations which led'to it, have been unreservedly, repea tedly and authoritatively spread before ihe people by my fi lends. I am at the same lime, lor reasons wnicn it isimnecc-s- sary to detail, as continent as one can ne in such a matter, that Mr. driswold is misla - ken in the impressions he described of a supposed conversation upon that subject at Kingston. The high opinions which I have nevertheless uniformly entertained of the purity, exalted patriotism, and eminent talents of Mr. Madison, are upon record, and in a form which has nothing to fear from the vituperation of the day. Accept my thanks, sir, for the just and liberal spirit shown in your note, with assurances of the respect and esteem with which, I am, very truly, Your friend and ob't scrv't , M. VAN BUR EN. The Hon. R. M. T. Hunter. From the Globe. slssumplian. Many of the State stocks have been taken by the foreign brokers at ten, twenty, or even a greater discount. If the debt is assumed by the General Government, thee stocks will rise as much above par. Every poor man in the country will he taxed to put forty or fifty percent., on many millions into ihe pock ets of the Baring and others, Mr. Web ster's generous clients, who are connected w.ih the present British ministry.

Again says the New Orleans Picayune of the 22A ult., wc arc compelled to place before our readers the blood-freezing details of an other Indian massacre. A child shot thro' the head in its mother's arms! Horri ble! Our heart swells wilh indignation while we write, and our finders grip the pen as though it were a weapon of destruc tion. The following afflicting intelligence we received through a mercantile house in the city, in a slip from the oflice of the St. Joseph Times, hearing dale the ISth inst. The news is recent as it is dreadful. On Thursday morning, 10th inst., ihe house of Mr. Wvlev Jones, on the Econ- lina,in Washington county, about CO miles' noitn 01 mis place, was attacked by a party of Indians, she premises all burnt, and Mrs. Jones and one of her children, an in fant, shot. Mr. Jones' daughter, a girl of about 13 years of age, states that her mother, a ne s;ro woman, and four children were in the house when the Indians wcie discovered in the yard. Mrs. Jones caught up the youngest child and was shot attempting to escape out of the door, struck by three balls, one passing through the head of the child in her arms. The daughter above mentioned took the two children, and while the Indians were ransicking and plundering the house, passed out unmo lested, and hid them in the bushes. The little heroine then returned to the house in the midst of the Indians, helped her moth er up, who was lyingin ti e porch, and as sisted her about 300 yards into the field, when becoming faint from loss of blood, ihe little girl left her in search of water. She returned with it, but her mother, after drinkiug, died in a few moments. She then covered her mother and the dead infant with bushes, and carried the remaining children to the nearest neighbor. Foreign News. The Caledonia which arrived at Boston on Saturday, brings se ven days later advices from Europe. There is no news of the least interest, excep ting that the prospect of war had ceased, and that' the Turkish and Egyptian difficulties would probably be settled. Petersburg Market, Sept. 30.
