in this place yesterday, by the members of
Concord Lodze. No. 5S. A Procession
CI
was formed at the Masonic Hall, and mar
ched to the Old Church in this place
where a large and attentive audience assem

Throne of Grace was made by Rev. VVm

Congress. The Apportionment bill has
passed both Houses of Congress. The ra
tio adopted is 70,SG0, giving the House
223 instead of 212 members, and reducing
the delegation of this Slate from 13 to 9
members. It has been conjectured that
President Tyler may veto the bill, in con
sequence of the provisions giving represen
tatives to large fractions, and making it in
dispensable to vote by districts.
The Tariff and Naval Appropriation
bills are the principal subjects now under
discussion.
Messrs tVise and Stanly. The Na
tional Intelligencer contains the Correspon
dence which led to the amicable adjust
ment of the personal differences between
Messrs. Wise and Sianly, published at the
request of Mr. Wise. There are a number
of preliminary documents first presented,
from Messrs. Willie P. Mangum, K. Ray
ner, W; tl. W. W. Cost Johnson, Rob't
B. Campbell, and Jno. M. McCarty, rela
ting to Mr. Wise meeting Mr. Stanly in
Baltimore, personally or by his friend, "to
open the discussion" of their personal mat
ters; after which, the first letter from Mr.
Stanly appears. This novel and unpiece
dented Correspondence then proceeds and
terminates as follows.
Baltimore. May IS, 1812.
Sir: On Saturday, the 7u of May in
stant, while 1 was coming from the race
course, you were riding on horseback, in
company with a gentleman whom I did
not know. I was about to pass yon, and
in the act of doing so, the horse that 1 was
riding became frightened, and without my
being able to prevent it, notwithstanding
my efforts to do so, brought me against
vou. 1 endeavored to stop him as soon as
could. 1 had scarcely recovered my
Stirrup, before I think 1 had been able to
stop the horse, and while 1 was in the act
of turning round towards the right side,
'where I presumed you were, for ihe pur
pose of making an apology for the appa
rent rudeness, by saying that it was the
result of an accident which 1 could not
possibly prevent, I received a severe blow
oil the right side of my head, which for a
moment deprived me of all consciousness.
VVithout pretending to narrate what passed,
(for I was suffering great pain from the
blow,) it is enough to say I have received
ho reparation or atonement for this outrage.
The only coursej therefore, which re
mains for me to adopt, is to demand from
you that satisfaction which a gentleman
has a right to expect for an injury inflicted
tinder the circumstances above mentioned
My friend, Mr. McCarty, is authorized
iu matte proper arrangements on my part
wjih the understanding, however, that
Mr. McCarty is not to act on the field.
1 have the honor to be, &c.

Dear Siri t have iust received through
your hands the letter of Mr. Stanly of this
date addressed to Mr. Wise. I have read
the same, and before 1 take definite action
on ii or suurnu ii iu iir. wise, i deem it
proper to say that, although Mr. Manly
n s given an explanation wmcn under oth
er circumstances would merit considera
tion, the hostile bearing of the latter por
iion oi it prevents my considering the let
icr in any other light than a call to the
Held, which would be accepted; yet, be
lore that hnal step is taken, 1 will del i
either handing it to Mr. Wise or eivin'
cuu' rt" answer as l am authorized
to

make, by suggesting lor your reuecuon
the propriety of such modification or with
drawal of the letter as may render mutual
explanation practicable. -

Mr. Stanly theerin disavowed any pur
nose of insulting Mr. Wise in the acci

As the friend of Mr. Stanly, however,
I feel perfectly authorised to withdraw,
ami fin withdraw, that communication for
the present, in conformity with the sug
eestion of your note of this date, for the
purpose of receiving such an explanation as
may lead to a peacelul adjustment oi thi

you (retaining a copy) Mr. Stanly's letter
of the 18th instant, as desired by your let
ter of of 12 o'clock last night withdraw
ing the same, 1 will give a fuller answer at
an early hour.
1 have the honor to be, with great res

Dear Sir: Your note of i of 12 o'clock
of yesterday, which was handed to me by
Mr. Rayner, I have considered an author
ized withdrawal of Mr. Stanly's letter.
After giving in substance Mr. Stanly's
statement of thit oeecrrenre in his let'c
to Mr. Wise, whirh is incorporated in this
letter lo obviate all misconstruction, and
is as follows: 0n Saturday, the 7lh of
'May instant, while 1 was coming from
Mhe racecourse, you were riding on horse
'back in company with a gentleman whom
4I did not know. I was about to pas you,
'and in the act of doing so, the horse 1 was
'riding became frightened, and without
my being able to prevent it, notwithstand
ing my enorts to do so, brought me
'against you. I endeavored to slop him
as soon as I could. 1 had scarcely re
covered my stirrup, before 1 think 1 hid
been able to stop the horse, and while 1
vas in the net of turning round towards
the right side, where 1 presumed you
were, for the purpose of making an apolo
gy for the apparent rudeness, by saying
that it was the result ol an accident
which I could not possibly prevent, 1 re-
'ceived a severe blow on the right side of
my head, which for a moment deprived
'me of all consciousness."
1, as the authorized friend of Mr. Wise,
ive now no hesitation in frankly saying
for Mr. Wise that Mr. Stanly's account
f the occurrence is such as lo authorize
me to say tor Mr. ise that he was lully
under the conviction that Mr. Stanly de
signed the collision w hich took place be-
tween them on the 7th instant as an assault;
but for this conviction Mr. Wise would
not have assailed Mr. Stanly; and that he,
(Mr. Wise,) not understanding Mr. bian
ly's situation at the time, regrets that his
not being aware of Mr. Stanly's intention
to apologize for the collision caused him to
assail Mr. Stanly.
Allow me, in conclusion, to express tne
lope that this letter, prompted by an anx
ious desire to concilia'e, may terminate the
unpleasant controversy between Messrs.
Wise and Stanly to their mutual satislac-
tion.
1 have the honor to be, very respectfully
your obt. sei vt.

TO THE VOTERS OF EDGECOMBE
COUNTY.
Fellow Citizens: Having become a
candidate for the honor of lepresenting
you in the House of Commons of our next
Legislature, duty to you and to myself re
quires that I should make known my poli
tical sentiments. To this end I send forth
this paper, and shall also avail myself of
every occasion of communicating with you
in person.
All governments ought lo be established
for the happiness and benefit of the indi
vidual citizen. But this great and main
purpose in the institution of all government ,
is generally the very one soonest lost sight ture of our affairs impose upon him. A
of; and a vain, pampered, and false nation-1 U. S. Senator to be elected the represen
al glory, founded on the sufferings of mil-1 tation both in the Slate and Federal Legis
lions, is made to usurp U place by those iri lalures to be arranged, and many other lo
power, who too frequently succeed in ma- cal and general matters to be acted on,
king such ghiry the idol of the very pen-1 which may stamp the political character of
pie whom it crushes to the dust. Our I the State for years to come. Should it
governments arc emphatically those of the please you, fellow citizens, to honor me
oeonle. who have established them with with vour favorable suffrages, I hope under
people
the single eye to the happiness ol each in
dividual citizen; so that he may do what
ever he pleases lo advance his own happi
ness, provided he injures no one else.
Splendor in government forms no part of
our purpose; and National or State glory
must be of that true kind, which exhibits
itself in ihe greatest amount of individual
Kippiness and comlort among our citizens.
Ience our maxim shouul always he, a
poor government and a rich people;" and,
the createst amount ot good to the great-
est number ol individuals. n.ven wen
meaning men when in power are apt to gov
ern too much, & the corrupt are still busier
in the exercise of power. 1 he world is
governed too much." Hence the pol
icy which will let the people and their
rights alone, is in the main the true one,
ind therefore the lavorite one with the
people, who are fully able to lake care of
their own concerns. It man could live
without government, he would possess all
ds rights and all his property without any
diminution of either; but as his imperfec
tions render this impossible, he his given
up a part of those rights for the secure en-
. f . i : I
joymeni oi me remaiuuer.
For the protection ot these rights we
have established a State and a Federal con
stitution. The State constitution is a com
pact, which the citizens of North Carolina
have made among themselves, binding
them to the observance of such principles
in law-making as will best afford polit"al
equality and protection to every citizen
in the community however humble, ihe
Federal constitution is also a compact be
tween the Stales of this confederacy, as
sovereign States. Each Slate is a party
to ihe compact for itself, and all are boun l
to abstain from the exercise of any power
not plainly granted, or which may in the
least impair the just rights of any State;
which, like the rights of individuals, are
generally best protected by letting them
alone. While the State government is
intended simply lor the domestic munici
pal regulation ot its own anairs, the main
purpose of the General government is to
regulate and manage the external relations
of all the States with foreign governments
ihe commercial intercourse between ihe
States, and with Indian tribes. The
neonle have made these constitutions
f defining and lim
lor the express purpose u
iting the power of their law makers. saying.
"so far 'shall thOU go ana no tanner, in
. . . r i .i r
the administration oi nom, tnereiore, a
strict construction of those powers which
th nennle have conferred on their repre-
sentat ves. and a scrupulous reg.uu iu. vo
r; "i - - - , i r
nmJtntmns to the exercise ol those powers
u ftKcort'Pfl In a word, the
Democratic States Right doctrine ol strict
construction -the doctrines of '93 are
the only principles which can perpetuate
our noble institutions in their primitive pu
rity. They are the only true spirits which
can properly animate our forms of govern
ment. Take these principles away and
these governments will become mere deid
forms animate them with opposite princi
ples & instead of the beneficent agents Which
they are in the hands of the people, to work
out their own high destinies, th?y would
probably become the worst and most des
notic irovernmenls under ihe sun.
n,i oil ihp imnortant Questions of the
1
dav involving principle or expediency,
either in SfUe or Federal affairs, 1 am hap
py in the conviction, that my views coin
cide with your own. The late explosions
in our rotten banking system, and equally
fatal results of the various schemes of inter
nal improvements, show Ihe wisdom of the
opposition which you have generally man
ifested to all kinds of monopolies, even
when their promises of public benefit have
been the most specious. As to our sys
tem of banking and currency, my limits
forbid details; but sullice it to say, that it is
ihe fruitful parent of most of the evils
which fe ;er the exertions of our people and
governments making the every-day busi
ness of life a gambling lottery, and ending
in demoralizing and bankrupting both. It
is a false system, transplanted from foreign
governments, whoie principles are
ont'iii".
omsi 10 our own; a,.u ,
coul.l only have happened from a drega d 1
o! those sound principles which the people,
... i
have placed both in their Slate andTedeial
constitutions. I he sooner it is entirely
exploded, or thoroughly reformed if such
a thing be possible the better lor the peo
ple. In Federal affairs no national debt,
no U. S. Bank, no protective tariff, no in
ternal improvements by the General gov
ernment a specie currency, a constitution
al treasury, independent of, and divorcing
the irovernment from, banks and ihe
O m
riht of instruction, which necessarily
iIoas from the sovereignty of the people
are watch-words as familiar as household
terms with the Democracy of the whole
Union and the principles which they con
vey, are most heai lily mine.
Fellow Citizens: the next Legislature
will be as important as any which have
preceded it. The duties which it will
have to discharge, will require stern hearts
and able heads lo execute them faithfully to
ihe people; and well may the representa
tive contemplate with feelings of concern
the responsibilities which the present junc
the guidance of our principles, to discharge
the high trusts you may confide to me
faithfully and satisfactorily ; but should 1
fail in any duty, be assured the fault will
be in the head and not in the heart.
But, fellow Citizens, however you may
act towards me, remember the importance
of the coming elections; remember that a
party is in power whose every principle
and policy (daily developing) is every
way adverse to the true interests of your
country. Under the influence of the hard
times occasioned by the explosion of our
binks with the insulting mummeries of
log cabins, coon skins and hard cider by
bribery, pipelaying and corruption, which
would have disgraced Rome in her worst
days with honeyed promises on their
lips, and a false policy in their hearls,
which they dared not avow by grossly
deluding the people, the Federal Whigs
have literally jumpt into power a party
in whom no one has confidence, and who
have no confidence in one another. The
consequence is just what might have been
expected they have failed in their prom
ises they have plundered the Treasury to
bribe the bankrupt Males, created millions
of unnecessary debt their protective Tar
itt likely to be more oppressive than ever
they have exhausted the treasures and cred

constitution to mean just what they wish,
and are violating it at every step Some
have even presented petitions for the dis
solution of the Union: Thus bankruntev.
fraud, treason and violence to the constitu
tion are careering through the legislative
halls at Washington, and that too when our
for eign relations are in a most critical con
dition. For these evils your only hope is
in God and your principles. The great
struggle is to place your government once
more in charge of men devoted to the prin
ciples of 9S. In this matter you have a
siern uuiy io discharge. You must act
action, action, is ihe thing. Remember
you have a Henry to lead you on. His
hopes, the hopes and eyes of your country
men are on you. In his hands vou have
placed the Democratic standard of the old
iorin Mate. Never let it be said, that
