r" FOR THE FREE PRESS. A poor Constable's petition to the most nnfm f Legislature of North Curolina. an additional fee, (to wit:) two and a half jier cent, -commissions on all sums ever twenty dollars, otherwise he must nerish. and consequently the -law ivill lose a most useful limb. Pray listen to me, for I ought to be heard, I'm a useful, quite useful, "limb of the law;" YouVe made me and clothed me with powers absurd, Since ye've made no provision for my back nor my jaiv. I say no provision, for it's all one as none, The pitiful four shilling fee ye allow, Is quite insuflicient (I am making no fun) To square ofFthe board of a levied on cow. It's true ye allow in addition to this fee, Ten cents a day for the board of a beast; Now into this matter examine, nay pr'ythee, And ten cents you'll find 'fords a d n meagre feast. And examine still further, & the truth will arise, And tell ye most clearly my fees are too scant: Too scanty yea too scant, and with tears in my eyes, I beseech ye to raise 'em, support me they can't. This I declare from experience conclusive, I've follow'd the business some few wretched years, And found lo my sorrow that it's only conducive To drunkenness, poverty, misery and tears. I have to encounter iriost horrible perils, I've three times beheld the grim jaws of death; Knives, guns and pislols,and sticks with huge ferrules, Doth threaten full often to rifle my breath. Pokers, pan handles, and hot boiling water, Too often oppose me in hostile array; And torrents of curses fall thick from each quarter, Pown on my poor head, by night and by day. Now into this matter examine, I pray thee, And say if ye think the fees doth suffice; For expenses, and trouble, and perils to pay ??ie, Without cheating, and shaving, and telling of lies. Ye allow the high Sheriff such fees and com missions, As quickly enables him a Nubob to be; I therefore beseech ye, in youv acts and jwovi sions, To enact and provide me a Sheriff-like fee. Else perish I shall and to "Scratchem" must go, (A place I am told the world never saw;) Oh! save me this session from the gulph of such wo, And thereby preserve A poor Limb of the Law. State Bank.

Jackson, is a victory of the people, over the combined powers of the aristocracy, the Bank, and every species of corruption. Resolved, That we highly disapprove of all at tempts that lead directly or indirectly to disuni on; as such, we disapprove of the mad schemes of the South Carolina Nullifies. Resolved, That wo are opposed to the Tariff of 1832, because, although decidedly better than the Tariffof 1828, yt it does not grant equal jus tice to the different sections of the Union. We believe, however, that the great body of the peo ple are disposed to do us justice; and that they will, as soon as circumstances permit, grant equal justice to all, as far as human laws can effect it. Resolved, That we will maintain the integrity of the lawsand we hereby tender our sympa thy and thanks to our fellow citizens of the Uni on Party in South Carolina, for their unsullied patriotism and love of country, manifested both in their opposition to the Tariff and Nullification; and should they, in the conscientious discharge of their duty to their country, incur persecution, proscription op banishment, in their own State ,ve hereby tender them ail the assistance which a generous and patriotic people can bestow.
