Feb. 24th, 1843. From the Washington Republican. Cottage, near Pactolus, IVrr Co., 17th Febiuary, 1843. To the Editor of the Washington (A; C.) Republican. SirJ Being a reader of your paper I nave of course seen the late communications recommending me as a Democratic candi date for the next (the 28th) Congress in this (the 8th) District. To the partiality of my friends, more than to any merits of mine, I am indebted for the very flittering terms in which my name is presented. I mm far from being insensible to language of Such marked approbation, and it seems to me to render it proper that I should state publicly my views and course in this con nection. When President Harrison, soon after his Inauguration called an Extra Session of ttiC 27h Congress, in advance of ibe ieni W elections in this State, it was iiMim.-iu-d lo me from many and most respectable tjuarlers that it was expected ami desired 1 should submit my name lo the voters of What was- then the 3d District as a candi date. But in view of the shnttneat of the notice of elect'row which rendered it impos sible for me tocanrass the Distiict and do justice to my political p, in ci pies or to my self, I COUld not consent to encounter the prospect of certain defeat. I so stated in a letter published at that time in the -Ke-publican." Notwithstanding i)s 1)VV(IV. er, thosa Democrats in the District who attended the Polls, with almost entire u tiauimity, east their ballots for me; and thus I conceived imposed upon me the du ty on the first fair occasion to make them dfull and public tender of my services. That fecasion would now have arrived if the District mnninrd unchanged.' Hut the late act ot the Legislature l iNoilh Carolina in pursuance of the apportion ment act of Congress, having added Car teret. Craven, Greene and Nah counties to the six which formerly composed the 3d, arid with that addition how compose the iS'h District, it seems manifestly proper that the political preferences ot the llepub licans of these counties should be also con suited. Ali the prominent individuals in some of those counties have expressed to me a desire that. I should he a candidate, yet it may be the wish of some th it a gen eral and public expression of the popular will should he made through a District Convention. If such a desire exists, 1 shnl! interpose no obstacle. Such a con vention is recommended by other consid erations. To succeed in the next contest. I believe that a perfect concentration ol the Democratic strength is necessary, and such concentration can he secured in no way so cflei'tually as hv such a convention. Resides, the District being a new one, it is natural that 3 me diversiti s of opinion and Diefereuee, possibly some elements of discord may exist among members of the same party, which should be reconciled. And again, our political adversaries, and evert soniu who call themselves Democrats, are. busily sowing dissections between the friends of the rival aspirants for the Presi dency. For these reasons, and with a view to harmony of feeling and concert of ictiou, the loading Democrats of each county, s looted ai primary meet ings of the people should merlin Convention Please nublish this communication, to prevent all misconception, now or hereaf ter. 1 am, with much respe.u, Youis. &c, HENRY I.

The Oregon occupation bill has passed the Senate In the House, a communication fiomthe the Hou-e. From these Com nunications, it stems tint the receipts of 1 he Treasury this year will fall short of the expectations, even if an authority to re issue Treasury Notes be granted. According lo the Report of the Secreta ry, the estimated receipts lor IS 13, inclu ding the balance in the Treasury on the 1st of January, 1313, will amount to 23,323,400 OS The estimated Expendi ture lor the same peri od will amount to 22,932,773 00 Estimated balance on 1st Jan.

The follow- ''"14 '-s ;1 summary of its contents: The bill is to take elfect from and ifter its passage. The pay of members of Congress is fixed thus: For the ftrt five months of any session perda) . For the ensuing two months, (if Con gress shall be so long in scSmoii,) $G per day. For the time Congress shall remain in session after the first seven months $4 per day. Members are to be paid only when in actual attendance upon their respective Houses; unless their absence be occasioned by sickness of themselves or their families', or by leave of either House. The mileage is fixed at i4 for every 20 miles of travel. Distances are to be com puted according to the Post Office book, reckoning fiom the post office nearest the residence of each memb' r, by the usual route to ihe seat of Government. Mileage is not to btr allowed, unless members have actually tiavelled the distance charged in their accounts. The salaries of various other officers of the United Stales, whose pay is not pro tected by the Constitution such, for in stance, a the President and the" Judges are also brought down. Officers in the Civ il and Military Departments (Army ami Navy included)' of the Governmeutrvhoe salary now exceeds S3, 000. are reduced 20 per cent, on their present pay. Officers and Age nts teceiving salaries ranging from S1.000 so 3,000, are reduced 124- percent, on their ptesent pay. No reduction, however, is to bring down Ibe salary of any one now receiving more than $1,000 be low that sum. The Bankrupt Law. The Washing ton correspondent of the N. Y. Commer cial! .Advertiser, under date of the 7th inst. Ihi&s notkes the action already taken by the tj. S. Supreme Courl in relation lo the general bankrupt law: 1 informed you, some weeks, ago, ihat several cases in bankruptcy had been de cided adverse to the constitutionality of the law of iS41, in Missouri and that this question was broiight up here for decision bvafull bench. The matter has to day been disposed of; Judges McLean, Wayne, ThomnSdn; Haldwirt artd Darnels assent irig, and Judges Tanfey, and Catron dis senting. Judges Story and Mckinley ab sent. A question previous to that of constitu tionality was raised by the appellant, to wit: "whether this was a case which might be brought from the Circuit to the Supreme Court upon a certificate of division of opin ion from the Judges below." The Court have decided that it has no jurisdiction in bankruptcy. In other words that the decision of the Ciicuit Court, in case of an appeal, of writ of error from the District Court, is final and con clusive. Thus, as yet, no decision has been hid upon the constitutionality of the law, which indeed, can only be had by new legisla tion, giving jurisdiction in bankruptcy to the Supreme Court. .Innf,pf Murder A free woman of color was committed to our Jail yesterday, on a charge of killing a female slave, in the upper part of this County, by striking her. with an iron bir whilst she was lying a sleep.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: yea saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors and tlieir woiks do fol low them. Itev. 11 Ci 13 r. Brethren Editors: You may better imagine than 1 can describe my feelings, while I attempt the painful task of inform ing you that our greatly lamented and much esteemed brother and father in Isra el, Elder Joshua Lawrence, is no more on earth. 1 was born and raised very near him, and contracted a fondness for him in mv childhood which increased with mv been up()n terms 0f more than usua jntj. macv His health for the last year or two Wassuch, as almost to forbid his leaving home without doing injusiice to himself; and often have I seen him in the pulpit and at the water's side, preaching and perform ing baptism, when his emaciated appear ance was sufficient to excite the sympathy ' of all who saw him. He possessed gdts both natural and spiritual of the highest or-'. der. but as his biography will hereafter le published, I shall simply give a short detail of some of his last days. I visited him very often during his last illness, his disease was bowel consump tion, under which he lingered about three months, frequently suffering the most ex cruciating pain. A short time before hJs death I visited him late one evening and found him alone; upon my entering his room he burst into tears, and did outspeak for some time. At last he remarked, that he was glad to see me; and observed also; that he had such a revelation the night pre vious, that he had not seen a moment since that he was not ready and willing to die. His mind had been so bewildered and be clouded for a season, that he could not see his way clear before him; and when he re flected that for forty years he had been a professor of religion, and professed to be a pieacherol the gospel, what an awful thing it would be should he be at last deceived, hut, said he the Lord revealed himself to me in such a manner as to dispel all diffi culties from my mind. I asked hint to tell me in wdiat manner it was done. e then observed, that the Lord delivered him of the distress which he 1-abored under, by ap plying to his mind the following passages' of scripture: I will put my laws in their hearts, and in their minds will I write them I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a peopfe According as lve hath chosen us in him before the founda 1 ion of the world, that we shoold be holy and without blame before, him in love Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, ac cording to the good pleasure of his will To the praise of the giorV of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved fn whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according, to the riches of his grace In whom also- we have obtained an inherit ance, Ijeirig predestinated according to the purpose of him who workelh all things al ter the counsel of his own will Ttiat we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ and other passages of scripture not now recollected. After vh?ch continue'! to laik nndj nreach till he was almost exhausted. He said that he felt more fully established in thp belief of the doctrine which he had preacheM all his life, than ever at any tiriie previous, and regretted that he had not nreached more than he had. I retired to bed at his request in an adjoining room; at . . : a late hour of the night. He slept but little night or day, so great was his pain. 1 awoke a time or two thrdugb the night and found him each time in prayer and sUppli catidn, and often trying to singthough not able to sing so as to be heard only a very short distance. And long shall ! remem-j her the doleful sound of his Voice, while all nature around was hushed in midnight si lence, when he attempted to sing one of his f ivorite hymns in the following words: On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye, To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. O, the transporting rapturous scene, That rises to my sight; JSweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight, &c. A short time previous to his death, be ing? visited by brothc William Pc-ace, a younger brother in the ministry, alter hours spent in conversion upon the truth of the doctrine which he had preached and which had sus'aired him in his journey through life, and now was his only hope in the prospect of death, he warned him of the danger he thought he saw of the churches being torn and rent asunder, and earnestl) entreated him to stand up for the truth. Thus testifying with his dving breath, that the truth of the gospel, the faith of God's elect was near and dear to him to the last. I vidted him only once more while he retained his mental faculties. There being others present, we had no conversation . , , . d necessary' to insert ' 1 here. 1 perceived but little alteration either in mind or body. After all hope of recovery was lost, he remarked to his son, (who was nrilu,imi ..hvsician.) that he was ready. waiting, and willing. For several days be- 'fore his death beseemed to notice nothing tat wa . aroum hiinj tj, the S;lI. j ,rtav morning immediately preceding his tlece se on Monday He then opened his eyes and looking out at the door said, how beautiful every thing looks without; ami said likewise, he fell a little better. He grew worse on the ensuing evening, and it became very apparent to thos ' around him, that his end was fast hastening. He re- mained perfectly insensible, except for a short interval, till the Monday following; when at about three o'clock in the even ingi all that was immortal of the subject of this short notice, (whom I loved as a neigh bor, friend and brother,) left its tenement of clay for that building of God, a house not made with hand9, eternal in the hea ven's; where in the first bloom of undying youth, he may hymn the praise of his Re deemer, in the words which I have so oft en heard him repeat in animated strains: Vorthy is the Lamb that was slain, and hath washed us in his blood, and made us kins and priests Unto God; and we shall reign with him forever and ever: He departed this life on Monday, the 16th day of January, 1S43, aged 65 years; 4 mon'hs, and 13 days, leaving a wile and seven children.

His funeral sermon was preached (befoie his interment) by Elder James Osbuurn, of Baltimore, in a very appropriate manner to a very laree con re:a iron lor so snort a notice; front Psalms, 103. 15, 16, and 17 veises: As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field so he ftouriheth. For the wind passeth over it and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no mote But the mercy of the Lord is from ever lasting to everlasting ujron them that fear him, and his rignteousness unto children children. After which, our Hyman1 concluded with a few specting their past intimacy; but was so completely unmanned that he was tmable to do justice to his feelings; these souls having been long knit tog'thei, as were those' of Jonathan and Dav id, making as it were only one soul. His body was then deposited in the place selected for that pur pose by himself, where it will rest till Je sus bid it 1 ise.
