- . ' . SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1841. Congress. Tnis body convened at VVashinglon City on Monday last. On Tuesday, ihe President's message wa9 trai.smilted lo both Houses. It is a very lengthy document, occupying upwards of five columns of the National Intelligencer. The president in the first instance states that there is great occasion to rejoice in the general prosperity of the country. He then enters into a minute detail of our for eign relations, which appear lo be in a high ly satisfactory state, excepting those with Great Britain. He then refers to the ta king of the sixth census, and states that it exhibits a grand total of 17,069,453, ma king an increase over the census ot 1330, of4,202,646 inhabitants, and showing a gain in a ratio exceeding 32$ per cent, for the last ten years. The estimated receipts for the present year amount to 530,410, 167 77 the expenditures 332,025,070 70 leaving a deficit on the 1st Jan. next, of 627,557 90 Of the loan of 5U,000, 000, only 5,432,726 SS have been nego tiated. The President then refers to the Tariff, and affirms the right of Congress to discriminate as to the articles on which duties shall be laid by considera tions of domestic policy connected with our manufactures," as well as others, lie then refers to the currency and exchanges, and states that should Congres3 require it, the Secretary of the Treasury will submit a plan of finance establishing a Board of Control at the seat of Government, w ith power to establish agencies at prominent commercial points, to issue Treasury notes, receive individual deposi:es, to purchase and sell domestic bills and diafts, 1 to use State Banks at a distance as agencies, &.c. He then refers to the reports of the Secre taries of War and the Navy, and of the Post Master General, &c. The above are the prominent points of the Message, touching the Protective poli cy, and the establishment of a fiscal agent by the General Government. We have no hesitation in assenting that the Presi dent's views on both these subjects will meet the unqualified condemnation of the Democracy. That unflinching Democrat, the Hon. T. H. Benton, immediately on the reading of the Message, denounced the plan of the "Board of Control," and ru mor slates that Judge Upshur and one oth er member of the Cabinet have sent in their resignations to the President, in con sequence of his opinion relative lo the Tariff. VVe shall give the President's Message in our next, that our readers ma) judge for themselves. (jThe last Petersburg Intelligencer states that the Cotton destroyed by fire at Weldononthe night of the 26th ultimo, had not been received by the Agent of the Petersburg Company, nor could he receive it, as it was waiting for Bills of Lading, or orders, to consign it which had not come up with it; and consequently the loss will not fall on that company, as stated by us. Halifax Adv. Faye.'teville, Dec. 4 The market has been brisk the present week. Produce comes in freely, and former prices are well sustained.- We quote Cotton at 7 to 8 cents. Pork, 3 to 4 dull Jour. Pork The Kentucky papers state that pork is plenty in that State, and is offered at from 2 to $2 50 Bacon is sold in Louisville at 2 for shoulders, 3 J Tor mid lings, and 5 cents for hams. Thousands of hogs are on their way to eastern mar kets. Pork has been offered bv drovers at $3 75 in Lynchburg. ' Inst weefc'a Aoingdon "Virginian:" Mates that drove pork in that place is from $2 50 lo S3. Corn sells for 25 cts. cash, 37 J in trade. Fork. --The American publishes this morning a letter from Kanawha, Va. which ays thai there are about 20 or 25,000 h..K. on the road leading from 0insviile Ken tucky, to Charleston, Kanawha; and abou 8 or 10,000 on tt.e road from Point Pie " ant to thm place. Some 5 or 6,000 ha passed through that vill3ge to the ea ten, markets. Pr ce bnhi.u, ?., r" hu,dre(I cash. TbenuXVr,. pZrblh,'Sra,1,lViri";j' '. I- up Mr VJ uommerce Mr. GaUs, one of the Di rectors of the Literary Fund, arrived in town on Saturday night last on their return from a visit tothe.State Swamp Lands., in lite county of Hyde. The lands were ex posed for sale at the Pungo Canal on Tues dav, and again at Lcachville on the ensu- injr day, but no sales were mane. veiy few persons were in attendance, except from the immediate neighborhood; and the highest pricebid by any substantial -biuder was 155 00 per acre fur the timbered, and S3 for the Prairie lands, which were be low the minimum values set on them by the board. The land must sell at an average price of S t per acre, to reimburse the State her outlay. Though we regret the ill suc cess of the attempt at sales; we cannot say that we are suiprised at it; a numberof cau ses concurred to produce it, among which may be enumerated the sorcity of money, which, though the lands were offered on a credit, represses enterprise, and the ignor ance of people abroad of the extent and value ul' this territory. If the lands are sold, it must be to persons from elsewhere. We in this section already own more swamp lands than we want 'the supply is greater than the demand. That no sales were made to individuals in this section furnishes, therefore, no inference thai we are indifferent to the fate oftheenterpri.se, or distrustful of its ultimate profit to the State. With our hands already full ot swamps, it would be folly to buy more. We repeat, and it is well that it should be known, that purchasers must be found abroad. While we highly commend the .-pint and diligence with which the Bjard have carried out this measure, and approve of what stems to be their general policy, we think that the term of credit allowed is far too short if intended to induce pur chases by actual settlers, who may py lor the land from the profits of it. If a far mer can support himself for the first three years after a settlement on wild lands, 'he does well. If the term of credit were ex tended to 7 years, on condition of paying interest, and proper means were taken to setfoiih its advanages to emigrants and residents in the old thickly settled States, we do not doubt that numbers would pre fer seeking a home in N. Carolina, to going to the '-far West.' Thus ihe State would be benefitted not only by being ultimately paid for her lands, but by the introduc tton within her boiders of a numerous bo dy of hardy and industrious settlers. The Stale wants people more than money. It is men that constitutes the wealth of Slates. We are not aware what plan the board have now resolved to pursue, but we res pectfully oflcr these suggestions. VVe were not previously aware that Mr. Gales had been appointed a member of the Board. We are not among those who would proscribe Editors from office, and we know no one better entitled to it than the good humored, courteous, and sensible Editor of the Raleigh Register. JVush. Rep. Unfortunate Accident. Spires S. Smith of Hyde county, was killed by a fall fiom his horse on Wednesdaj' evening last as he was returning home from Court. The deceased formerly resided in New bern where he was well known. ib. Rejection of the Bribe Tendered to the Slates in Isolation of the Constitution. South Carolina and Alabama, il is nrot- able, will take the lead in refusing the spoils of the public lands. These wise and hith- sptnted States will, we trust, convince Federalism that they cannot be tinned into a fl .grant violation of the Constitution, in evitably resulting ina vast increase of indi rect taxation, bearing uneauallu and tin- ju s ly upon the South, simply to obtain a snort allowance of the nroceeds of the nub- lic lands. Two-hfihs of ihe Donulation of the South, (who pay the heaviest tax on the articles tariffed to make good the defi cit occasioned by the distribution from the i reasury to the .States,) are excluded in ihe distribution as given by the law which makes the repiesentaiive ratio in Congress the rule in allotting to the States their re spective shares of the public domain. The South, therefore, which gave the greatest portion of the public, lands to the Union, are to have less hv two-filths than the oili er States in the new partition; and, what is worse, are lo bear the greatest burden in the new taxes necessarily imnosed to re plenish the National Treasury. Honor interest fidelity to the Con stitutionevery motive of patriotism o..sp.res 10 induce Ihe Democratic States to reject the corrupt bonus tendered for the abandonment of principle. It is the en tering wedge for a public debt hih t,vp wasteful expenditure credit systems oipuiauon privileges, and every other .u.e wmcn cnaractenzes the aristocracy abroad which Federalism apes among us. Globe. VVe understand that a most unnatural outrage was peipe iraled on the person of a female child under 10 years of age, in Cabarrus County, a few days since by one Milton Freezeland, aged about IS years. The child is since dead; the scouudre has m ,de his escape, and we hope al. good citizens will be on the alert m aid in his apprehension. We under stand that he is about 5 feet 4 inches high, walks erect, has a dark complexion and but Utile or no beard, and wore away a dark homespun coat and pantaloons. Ral. Reg. (T At Ihe instance of President TVi.. a nolle pro.emji h been. entered inJ case of tbe individuals indicted for a breach of the peace at the President's , House the evening after the Veto. The President in his letter says he regards the disturbance as one of those outbreaks of popular feel ing, incident in some degree to our form of government, and entirely harmless and evanescent in its character." Hal. olai Glorious news from FloridajCapt. R. D.r A. Wade, 3d Artillery, with his Company; 1G0 men, whilst on a scout near a Lake between Hillsboro' Inlet and the Everglades, called Lake fVorlh, came up on two camps of Indians, took forty-eight prisoners, destroyed twenty canoes and large quantity of provisions, which they had collected lo carry to Sam Jones camp, and returned without loss, to Port Lauder dale. One of the prisoners afterwards of fered to go and bring in those who had es raped from the attack, and being sent re turned with seven additional warriors, ma king in all killed and taken, sixty three Indians, men, women and children Another warrior has gone out to bring in more to. Dismal Swamp Canal. The Norfolk neacon states Mat the lolls received upon, this canal for the fiscal year ending the 30th September last exceeded by 40 per cent, the average receipts for the last five years. The increase, it thinks, is owing, in a con siderable degree, lo the improvement in agriculture, and the increase of productions in North Carolina. ib. Prospects in Philadelphia. Bicknell' Reporter says "The Banks of the city and country are, we believe, exerting them selves to the utmost to recover their lost ground, and are really anxious to get in a position to resume with confidence and safety. No resumption of this description, however, may be looked to for a year or two, il so soon. 1 hose who preach anoth er doctrine do not understand the subject. VVe speak on the authority of several of our bank ollicers themselves." ib. The Execution. The execution of E. Phelps for the murder of Casper Walser, took place at Germanton (Stokes County) yesterday. The criminal was conveyed from the prison to the gallows, clothed in his shroud. In his address from under the gallows, he made no direct confession of his crime, but said that if he had commi.led the act, for which he was aboul to forfeit his life, he was unconscious of il; he could not say that he was guilty, neither could he deny the charge. If he was confident of his guilt, he "thought he would be better satisfied!" Hi? also reminded the assemb led multitude, (consisting of between 2,000 and 3.000 persons,) of the uncertainty of life, warned them to spurn the intoxicating bowl, and attributed his present situation, as a malelactor under the gallows, to the demon Rum! During Ihe prayer of some pious individuals, (no minister of the cos- Pe' being present,) Phelps became very much agitated, prayed and sobbed aloud, and appealed, in feeling terms, to Al mighty God to have mercy upon his poor soul. Afier some time he became more composed, attempted to address the specta tors a second lime, but only succeeded in saying that he did not fear death, and ho ped he was prepared to meet his God. He then bid a number of the spectators a final adieu by "shaking hands," whereupon he was launched into eternity. The body remained suspended about half an hour, when it was taken down, and delivered to the friends and relatives of this unfortunate man, to be conveyed lo David son, his native county.
