It haa been now a month since Mr, Fisher was announced publicly, and twice a long since he haa been electioneering, yet we, his nearest neighbors, are left to gather his sentiments as we may from casual lis teners to stump speeches. After the very favorable disposition which the Whig party about here have manifested towards him, we think this mysterious silence a tittle impolitic at least Every candidate for ofTiceowes it to all parties, as well as to himself, to clear away the mists of doubt and ambiguity. Mr. Fisher ow es this more than any other, because of the many different and contradictory statemcnta prevailing as to his sentiments. We hope that the Whigs at least, will forbear to commit themselves any further to his support, until they have bis opinions in some tangible shape. For the Watchman: " I have just read in the last Western Carolinian, the article headed i The meeting in lexincton. " l was prcsem . ."

He con demned in the most unqualified terms the State Bank system, and alto the old United States Bank : He thus left us io inextricable difficulty without one ray of hope. 1 1 . His main effort teemed to be on the Retrenchment and Reform topic Ha asserted that tho great evil wa not in the Executive but C s : He had made a calculation, am xlred that tho expense of Congress alone aver aged per cssion $10,000 per member. I have made a calculation, based on thi statement, which if the basis as laid down by Mr. Fisher is true, and count ing 232 memberr, will make the expen ses of Congress akme amount to todso, 0C3, aaum nearly canal to the whole annual expenses of the Government in tho gone by day, whea Mr. Fisher ar-ucJ with so much ucct:J 1..3 re lament and reform fyatcm before thareorle of Kotean. and which ex- J. .11 niher Btatements I have seen , un the subject upwards of COO.CCO. , Thia cannot be viewed as an acci dental mistake of Mr. Fisher, as he ita- ted he had conversed with many oi ;d With many oi friends on this subject, wjat M i sa a ..
