RAXE1G1I, (K. C.) FIllDAY JULY 19, 1816. Vol. VJIIJ STATE POLICY.. Jie following extract ftom the (ireularof Archibald D. Murphey, Em. to the Citizens of Orange, will be found equally interesting to t!e people or every wctjon ol t!.e Mate. It has been my object. Fellow Citizens, to ai J fir as I could, to raiac the character of North 0omliaa from the degradation in hti it has been held : to break eff her dependence upon V ir-ini.i. iqi in fine, to make her a principal, mtead ot a secondary state in tne union. 11 i;i puvat trie it true, that fie individual who does not know how to repect himself will not be re-pected by others, jiii equally true with regard to states. North-Carolina has never tet any value upon herself ; she U never respected her own importance : the consequence has been, that 6he has ever been ref lected by the other states, nor by the general government. We have been content to play a se condiry part, and that merely for the advancement of Virginia. That great state has never failed li teach to her own citiiens the preempts of wisdom, and to inculcate upon her neighbours the lessons of folly. Ambitious to govern the union, she has used every effort to make herself worthy of her high wetensions t she has drawn into her service, all the talents of which she'could boast ; she has cher- idled an exalted, state pride ; given grandeur to her institutions ; maue provision ior improving iier aland navigation and fostering the education of her youth, upon a scale and in a spirit that put to liame the niggardly poncy pursued oy most 01 me oinci siic- i hhh mhj na mus pursaw me read to greatness, and reared up her prosperity and renown upon a system of liberal policy, she has contrived toecp most of her neighbours at an immense distance behind her, by stiring up a war of partr oirit, in the furious contests of which every tiling; else has been forgotten. "Vlmt have the n-i :nm inn reen cinin'r ior lueuir years nasi, uui iitimus uic uaiiitsui iiaii niaicvu- rosperity and the respectability of the state have not heci; thought of : men of talents have been proscribed, arid the people have been taught to distrust tiieir integrity. In fine, this folly has i.een carried so far. that a man's politics, as they are called, been made the test of his public worth. DnrinLrall this time, Virginia has been pursuihjrat ho people of North-Carolina been doin for tu euty years pust, but fighUn the battles of party malevo lence ? In thii miseral.le warfare, tne inte-n-ity. in fine, this lolly has i.een carried so tar. that a man's politics, as tliey are called, have been made the test of his public worth. DnnnLrall tins time, Virginia has heen pursuing at home, a mse course t whilst her neighbours have been proscribiiiK talents, she has been drawing them forth into ber service ; and has not permitted any of her citizens to slumber in obscurity, who could add t her splendor V'hilst some of her neighbours-have, excluded from their conQdence all those who vere called Jepiblicans,and others, all those wjjo were called Federalists, she has extended her confidence to both, wdierever they could advance her greatness. Her ambition baa profited by our follv, and at the end of twenty-five years, she finds herself a great s-fate, and finds North-Carolina imons the least, in point of character, in. the union. We have wa;ed a continual war for her rlorv jnd for our poverty ; 'we have, wasted our tune and expended our efforts in furthering her views and exaJting her great men to power, as u we naa noimng eise 10 n, jiov.ung cib 10 inum aooui ; aiui fill trial as td the adanta5 of drawing up the eajth to the steins which I find ereatly supe rior to the practice followed by some, "of onlv clearing away the weed, without giving them a" Bjerth stalLInthis last case, I found the crepnotonlvlessabundant-bntairr-at-r rrt of the pofatoeii by being so near the surface, vere i wuiHiuii coei inj, ana by wing exposed to the utpJCuauaa 01 vermin ana Uie weather quite spoiled.

What has been the consequence ? Our aster states look upon North-Carolina,as astate without talents, and we have learned tutliink meau Sjof ourselves.

Born in N.Carolina, and here expecting to live & die. I feel anxious to see her released from her 'present thraldom, to see her aspire, to a higher lestinv, to see her exalted to that rank in the union ,tj which she is entitled and I have contribute! .my'humble efforts in the General Assemblv, to ireakoirher dependence upon a neighbouring state, to make her think and act for hrrscJf, and to turn her attention from the miserable warfare of party, to those things which concern her interest wd her prosperity. Next to the institutions for the preservation of civil liberty, the m-osperity of a state depends upon the.developement of her resources, upon giving facilities to industry and encour igeraentto entevpiise ; arid nothing has been found to 'contribute more to these great ends, than improvements iu inland navigation. I therefore lent my aid to the efforts which were made at the list General Assembly, to adopt a liberal system for internal improvements and I hope a zeal has keen excited upon this subject, which will continue to increase until the character, the wealth and ths importance of this state will be a source of pride and exultation to all her citizens. l.YU rc vpposeu 10 a uuerai system oi internal improvements, do not make uid your repre ,. ; , .

Hiving long entertained an idea, that the for mation of apples upon potatoes was detrimental to the corps by drawing away a large an valua ble part of the nourishment from the roots ; I this year, made an experiment, which, I think, goes a great way to solve the question. Having planted some acres of different kinds, I had the flowers carefully iuxkec.f"flirt si'wa.l of the drills, a un as they appeared, leaving between every drill so picked, a drill with the 'flowers on ton rhed. In some cases, I allowed the flowers to expand, and even to make some progress towards setting ; in others, I suffered the apples to form, and pulled them off when they were half grown. The fol lowing is the result : In the drills, where the fl ivvers were gathered as soon as they appeared, tlv crop was. in most instances, nearly double what it was where the apples were allowed to come to maturity. "Where the flower were allowed to waste themselves,' the crop was abundant; and where the apples -had made som e progress, it was still less tho' great ly better Oau when they hadbeen left untouched. In short, ii oin the time of the flowers appearing, and as long as the leaves continued green, and the stems growing, there appeared an advantage, from gathering both the flowers and apples j grad ually diminishing, however as they approached the ultimate period of their growth. I remarked also, that the stems of the potatoes, in the drills where the flowers had been nirkl iff V.;,,! green and yigorouvnmch longer than where they cuW.cu iu grow ; ana also, where the apple were gathered at an early period I, at the same time, made triils as to the effect of cutting the haum, or shaw, as-it is cbmjnonly called in Scotland in different stages of its growth j all of which I found ruinous : the defi ciency ofisrop being in exact proportion to the earlmess of-Nthe cutting r with his addition, that, the potatoes were ill ripened, and of a Ve-ryj,a-flu r while those, where the 'haura had been left, were excellent. I also made a care- Aineiican citizens detained tU vt iswii, angi' tor a restoration of their property. In the first branch of his mission, as has already been stated, Mr. Hughes succeeded ; all the . Americans Via j confinement were immediately released and dew hvered up on his application.

Mrv; "V Brougham endeavoured, in a very able Speech, to convince the house of the justice and eedienc? of the interlerence on the part of England in fi vour of those members of the late fortes, who, in- stead ol bein rewarded lor thir ..'n c t- . . orytves ill met cause of Ferdinand, are suffering the most de-raw , ding and cruel punishments from that 'unreleW r The speech furnishes some important facts ative to the conduct of the English towards the Cdrtes. It is asserted that thUritSei3 Wluttingham advanced to Madrid befor thri ' Spanish tyrant, and surrounded the Cortes tcitr' troops in gliShpayi&(ter which "the pro ' i scribed hst was brought forward, and the cJrtei V witli two 01 tne rerencv. into dungeons.'

Nor does his Royal Highness consider the means hv wbirh fhla mo accomplished as less reprehensible than the act itself. For His Royal Highness connot admit that any circumstance could justify a British .olli cer in having obtained under false pretences, passports in feigned names from the Representa tive of his own Sovereign, and in having made use of such passports for himself and a subject of His Most Christian Majesty, under sentance for high treason, disguised in a British uniform, not only to elude the French Government, but to car ry him in such disguise through the Eritish lines, w hiie iiie Prince Regent cannot but consider it as a material aggravation of Sir R. Wilson's of fence, that holding so high a rank in the army, he should hayecoun'tenanced-and encouraged an in ferior officer to commit a decided and serious breach of military duty, his Royal Highness ne vertheless thinks it equally necessary to express his high displeasure at the conduct of Captain J.
