A dictator ! The i lea of a dictatorship is drawn from Roman institutions; and at the lime the oflico was created tho person. who wielded the tremcn. ilous weight of nuthoiity it conferred, con cent rated in own person an ubsoluto jwwerovcr the lives and property of all hi l'iIlov.rr.,jzcnS; ho could raise armies ; he could build and man navies; ho could levy laxcsal will, and raise-any amount of revo.

Had 1 any army I any navy i any revenue nay patronage? in a word, tiny nowc whatever! If I had been a d; tator, 1 think that even those who havp t!ic most freely applied to me tho appellation must be coin pided to mako tw admissions: first, lha my dictatorship has been distinguished by nj cruel executions, stained by no Llood, n r soiled by nny act of dishonor; and in ill second place, I think they must own ( til nich I do not exactly know wlint date my commission of dictator bears I ima inn, however, it must havo commenced willt tho extra session) that it 1 oid usurp ti t power of a dictator I at ast volunta rily surrendered it within a shorter period limn was allotted for the duration of tho dictatorship of the Roman Commonwealth It to huvo sought, at t.ie extra session and at the present, by tho co-operation of my friends, to carry out the great measures intended by the popular majority ol 1910, -tmd-lo lmvo detueJ thatrslTomnflT havo been adopted ond executed; if to have anxiously desired to see a.nsoidercd cur. rency regulated and restored, and irregular exchanges equalized nnd"sifiiistcd: if to have labored to replenish the empty coffers of (ho Treisurv by suitable clinics ; if to have endeavored to extend relief toiheun. . fortunato bankrupts jif tho country, who had been ruined in a great mtusuie by the - erroneous policy-, as we - believed, of- this Government; if to seek to limit, cireum scribe, and restrain Executive authority; i to retrench uunccssary expenditure and abolish useless offices and institutions ; if, whilst tho public honor U preserved untfir nislicd by supplying a revenue adequate to meet the national engagements, incidental protection can be, afforded to the national industry; if to entertain, an ardent solici tude to redeem every pledge and execute evory promiso fairly made by my political friends with a view to the acquisition of power from, tho hands of an honest and confiding people; if theso objects cona'.i- 1 ill a A tVtnn a f linw t hab i' 1 i r te,r ol i r pose I must ho content to bear, alihough 1 still only sharo with my friends, tho odium or tho honor of tho epithet, as it may be considered on tho one hand or the other. That my nature is warm, my temper ar dent, my disposition, especially in relation to the public service, enthusiastic, I am fully ready to own; and those who supposo that I havo been assuming the dictatorship' havo only mistaken for arrogance or assumption that fervent ardor and aevotion which is na tural to my constitution, and which I may have displayed with tooliuiajvgaxdJuiiald calculating, and cautious prudencc',n sus tiiningnnd icalously supporting important national measures of policy which I have presented and proposed. During a long and ar duaun career of ser vice in iho. public counsels of my country. especially during tho last eleven years 1 havo held a seat in the Senate, from the Kfimn nnlnr nml inlliu!.iirii nf character. I havo no doubt, in tTicie&tijTc1auT,a13Tn an honest endeavor to maintain my opinions against advorao opinions equally honestly entertained, as to tho best course to be adopted for tho public welfare, I may havo often inadvertently or unintentionally in moments of excited debate, made uso of language that has' been offensive, and sus. ccptiblu of injurious interpretation towards my brother Senators. If there be any here who rotaiu wounded feelings of injury or dissatisfaction produced on .'ueh occasions, I beg to assure them that I now offer the amplest apology for any departure on my part (rom the established rules of pailja mcnlary dijeoruni and courtesy. On the other hand, I assure the benators, one and till, without exception and without reserve, that I retiro from lliisSonatc chamber with out carrying wiilwno a -sig lliolviig. of ro. sentmcnt or dissatisfaction to the Senate or to any one of its members. I go from this place under tho hope that we shall, mutually, consign to perpetual ob livion whiteve.r persoual collisions may ot any lima unfortunately havo occurred be tween us; nn44iat our recollections shall dwell in future only on those conflicts of mind with mind, thiso intellectual strug. gles, thoso noble exhibitions of the power of logic, argument, and eloquence, h mora ble to tho Senate and" to the country, in which each has sought and contcnJud for what he deemed the best-mode of accom plishing one common object, tho groatest interest and tho most happiness of our be loved country. To these thrilling and de. lightful scenes it will be my pleasure and my pride to look back in my retirement. And now, Mr. President, allow me to mako the motion which it was my object to submit when I arose to address you. I pre sent the credentials of my friend and sue cessor. -If any void has bccn created by my own withdrawal from the Senate, it will btf filled to ovcrfl wing by him ; whoso ur. banity, whoso gallant and gentlemanly bearing, whoso steady adherence to princi ple, and whoso raro and accomplished pow. ers in .debate, are known already in advance to the whole Senate and to the country. I wove that those credentials be received, and that the oath of office be now administered to him. ... r.-.lJ in retiring-. m I am attoui iuuio. surever heartfelt wishes that all the great and patri otic Ipbjcct for which it was constituted by the wise framers of our Constitution may be fulfilled; that the high destiny designed for it may be fully answered; aad that its deliberations, now and hereafter, may even luate in restoring tho prosperity of our be loved country, in maintaining its rights and honor abroad, and in securing and uphold ing its interests at home. I retire, I knov; it, at a period of infinite distress .and em barrassment. I wish I could take riiy leave iV viin nmli'i" miw Piivnrftliln niNniro 1m4' without mcauinc at this time to sav whether1!'8 burdened by most of tho nations of Eu on any one or on whom reproaches for the sad condition of tho country should fall, I appeal to the Senate, and to the world to bear testimony to my vai nest and anxious exertions to avert it, and that no blame can justly rest at my door. " !iay tho blessing of Heaven rest upon the wholo Senate and each member of it, and may the labors of every one redound to the benefit of the nation and the advance, inent of his own fame and renown. And when you shall retire to the bosom of your constituents, may you meet that most cheer ing and gratifying, of all human rewards their cordial greeting of " Well done, good and faithful servant.'' - And now, .Messrs. President and Sena tors, I bid you all a long, a lasting, and a friendly farewell. Mr. Crittenden was then duly qualified and took his seat ; when Mr. Preston roso and said: What had just taken place was an epoch in their legis l.itivc history; and from ihe feelings whicl was evinced, ho plainly saw that there was little disposition to attend to business. II would therefore move that the Senate ad joum; which motion was unanimously agreed to. Gov. .Ior'IienJ and UliMisaippI There seems to bo some doubt whether the Legislature of Mississippi has passed resolutions of censure upon Gov. Morehead for refusing to surrender the person accused ol slave steamier, upon the demand o! lov. MeNutt. A statement to such effect has ecn made in the papers ; but if such is the tact, the resolutions have been passed since the date of the following proceedings of thi Senate of Mississippi. A history of this ransactidn is promised by'the "editor or "the Raleigh Star ; and he says that it is every way honorable to Gjv. Morehcad. Greens boro1 Patriot. In Senate Tuesday f Feb. 22. . Air. Marshall, (rom the committee on Federal Relations, made a Report in rela. tion to thp conduct of Gov. Morehcad of N. Carolina, in refusing to surrender E. W. Saunders upon the demand of Gov. MeNutt Air. Marshall suggested the propriety gf printing tho Report. Mr. Ives remarked thnt ho would vote for printing oil tho documents connected with this matter he was opposed to print ingonlya part of them; he said ho was familiar with the wholo subject ; the accus er and the accused, werC both in this city, or recently have been. The whole affair hid grown out of notu'ngf Tho prosecutor of 12. W. Saunders, had admitted to him, (Mr. Ives,) and to others, that he had no hope of convicting the accused. Ho said further, that ho would not defend Gov. Morehcad, at the expense of lowering the majesty of his own Slate , he would at all times stand forward in defence and support of tho Executive of Mississippi ; but he was satisfied TtlarGovT Morehcad wasUesirous" of preserving tho harmonious relations be tween the two States; and whilo ho pleas ed to know that Gov. MeNutt had pursued a. firm and independent (not arbitrary) course, he was likewise pleased to reflect itat-'tlKxwttii"of :hi,"a8;8tSrcPN? Carolina,) had pursued a similar course. He (Mr. Ives) was proud of a personal ac juai uta ns. jyj ihjfjrjj lorehcad although he differed with him in politics. ' "SiTcTi a" man, said Mr. Ives, n"s Gov. Morehcad, is not born onea in a century. North Caro lina is prouJ. of such an Executive; yes. sir, wan his talents ana learning, had he more age, he would ornament the Presi dential Chair ; noris it unlikely, that he may one day yet, be called upon to preside over therdestihics of this great Republic, should tho whig party again gel tho ascen dancy." 1 tic order to print was not made. " BEHOLn A WONDER COMES TO LIGHT ! Alter the locofoco hubbub began to' be raised about the repairs of tho Governor's residence, &c, we had a conversation with an elderly citizen of a neighboring county, LyliaJiaida.ktiavvLari:licdand iKtLiniglit nmrK Ins words, lhat nil the money appro priated by the Legishturo for repairs and furniture, would not bo spent " ho knew too well how to savo for himself, to" permit any thing to be lost to the Slate." And the result has verified the prediction. We learn from the .Raleigh Star, lhat of the 84,000 appropriated by the last Assembly for repairing and furnishing thu Governor's residence, only somo '-2,100 have been used, and the hulluncc has actually been re. turned to the Public I rcasury! !

Ou Discrlattlnatlag Dalle. ineioiio The following very interesting memorial I. . .. .". ,. .. x. . naJuI Decn a roeseu D J Rl r. i nptett.ope of the Representatives in Congress from the Stato of Kentucky, to the Committee of the House of Representatives on Manufactures. Jat. Int. To the lumoralle the Chairman and Members of the Committee on Manufactures. The resolutions passed by the Legislature of Kentucky, requesting the members of Congress from that btate to use their best exertions to cause such legislation on the part of Congress as would relievo tobacco produced in the united folates Irom the I heav heavy duties and monopolies with which rope, must bo my excuse for addressing you this memorial. To protect American commerce and the products of American industry Irom lor tigri prohibitions, duties, and regulations by countervailing duties, alt other means having failed to accomplish that object, is I believe, a dutv now enjoined as well h the interests as tho honor of our country Previous to the formation of the present Constitution, the impossibility of the sever al Suites, while acting each for itself, pro teeting their commerce und tho products of their industry, when shipped to foieig ports, from the- prohibitions, burdensom duties, and oppressive regulations impose on them bv foreign nations, was felt n ml oc knowledj:d by all as one of tho greatest evils uiisin'r from the then existing statu of thiii"s: and a stroll'' anxiety to have ill evil corrected is known to have been one of tho ereatest inducements to ihe formation oi tho Constitution, and beyond nil ones fiii'i u'.nrmnrif tli! chief argument? ursred lor its adoption by the States. No well in formed man will contend that the Constilu, ti n) would ever have been accepted by the People, if it had not contaiued the clause by which tho power and the correlative du ty of regulating commerce with foreign na tions was taken from jfic several States and pailments of the Federal Government. Although the oppressions on our com mercc from these prohibitions, duties, and . . .. ' . I? . regulation, ol nearly every nation in uu r.iruv have liii-n continued ever since the Constitution granted ih'j power and impos ed tho duty on Congress of regulating com- mercc with foreign nations, yet up yt i.us lime, that dutv remains undischarged : and eacUioreigy nutio, -wii.hout,au.yregatd4o reciprocity or equality o! dutiest lias Decn permitted t take counsel Wholly from i'.s avarice, without any regard to justice, un til they have ceased,to fear that our Govern ment will seek redress by tho only means us power In cntorce it. The result of this abandonment of its duty'by Congress, and leaving commerce to take care of itself, aided by such assistance as the Executive Department has been able to civc it, by exercisins the equivocal pow- er of regulating our commerce With foreign nations by treaty stipulations, has been such as was naturally to bo expected; and we find that these exactions have increased, until, nt this time, the following facts exist : The produce of the labor ot the citizens of the United States, shipped to the various nations of Europe, amounting annually to bout ninetv mi lions of dollars, pays an vera"? tax over one hundred per cent., while the productions of all European na lions, imported into the United States, mounting annually to about one hundred millions of dollars, pay an average tax of duty of less than twenty per cent. In other words, from the productions ot the labor ol the citizcni of the United Slates, .rnrn which those who own the "soil and perform the labor of producing and transporting the roducc to maud receive nmeiy minions f dollars, foreign nations, by means of du- ties levied in dill'ercnt ways, receive ninety eight millions of dollars. .1 "If Tsorf?bevoti5Tc-d 'at'th'itflirr'r.l"ffoistfc." " culturists of the United States have not pros pcred i.i proportion to their industry, when alL'f Jf Jiif1 receive one-half the benefit of their own labor: ,Tft1Tagenlat'cH;h,ato7Tir rich s il,ond industry and economy .on the part of our planters and farmers surpassed by none in the world, their aggregate pros perity and wealth is far less than that of the owners of the soil in Great Britain, Franco Germany, or any other nation in Europe, exercising the same skill and indusiry in the cultivation of the earth. It is the duty of their Representatives in Congress to inquire into the causo frornfDopartmc.it; and, as Ml.cy arc tlie nati ..,..,.?, .I.;. lLi .,; -n,l xffA Whom wo have the ercntert.tr.de, llieyai whence this cll'ect snrintrs. ond opply the remedy, if one can be found "withiiiydieir power. I have endeavored to find riut this causo.'and sincerely believe it principally, if not wlmllyfroeeeds from llifr fict-lhnt our farmers and planters aro hft permitted to trade with the subjects pf foreign nations on equal terms; but, o;i the contiary, they or their agents are compelled to give more than onc-hilf of the produce of their farms and plantations, 6r, what is the same thing to them, more' than one-half the money it would sed for.tp obtain the privilege of un noitiuif and selling the remainder in Eu rope, while the citizens of European nations give less lluin one-fifth of the produce of their labor for the privilegS ol importing nnd sell. ing tho remainder in the United States. In figures the matter stands thus: ( The products of American industry sell in Europe, after deducting freight, andothcr charges, except duties, in round numbers, for, : : : ; :, : 204,500,000 Of which we receivo : : 91,000,000 And loss in paying duties 8113,500,000 f Tho products of European industry sell in the Uni ted Suites, after deduct ing freight und other charges, except duties for Of which Europeans receivo 893,000,000 73,000,000 And loss in paying duties, 817,000,000 Showing the average amount of duties, levied by the nation of Europe on our ox: portations to them, to be upwards of sis and a half times as great as tho average amount ot our duties icvioa on uieir eapor. lotions to the United States. Rut irreat and unjust as this inequality It on tho total amount of exportations from the United States, it becomes still more start. Iin in its manifest injustice when examined as to a particular export the staple, to a great extent, of several particular States. Unnmnutaclured touacoo pays, iu ureui Britain, since the 15th May, 1840, a duty of 75 cents per pound, of upwarps of 1 ,250 nor rent, valuing tho pound of tobacco at it cpnls : in Austria, within i fraction of GO cents per pound, or one thousand por cent.; in Prussia, 30 J cents per pound, or upwards of five hundred per cent.; and Franco levies, by the Regie, or indirect du. ty, about ouo dollar per pound, or 1600 3-8 percent. From the best calculation I could make, which is too voluminous to go into ibis com miinicntion, the different nations ctuinera ted in table Na. 3, excluding Russia, Prus. sia.and Portugal, for which 1 have not com pleted the calculations for want of lime. Oil this amount of average annual value of tobacco, shipped from the United States , for t he years ,1839 and 1810, to wit, on 0,225,145 There is levied by the other European nations an an nual tax of 32,403,540 'SiTowTrigflie amount for which American tobacco sells in Europe exchisiveof freight and other charges, except duties, to bo 41,C33,G85 of which foreign Governments retain up. wards of three-fourths, and tho tobacco planters receive less than onc-fourth. .... . After this plain statement ot lacts, is u to bo wondered at that the tobacco growing States have incrensed in population and wealth less than any other of the agricultu ral States of the Union, nnd that tho agri- culturists of the wholo Union, considering dustrv, nkill, and economy used, have in creased in prosperity less than either the mercantile or manufacturing portions of leirfellow.citizens'flNo individual orcom- munity can prosper unless they get at least a fair proportion ol the bcoclit ol their own labor. .'

Entreaty protests, and attempts at negotiation, urged itha zeal and ability by our Government t home, and our Ministers abroad, equal to the importaupo of tho subject, for fifty yeffrs havofailcd; and there is no other remedy ut countervailing amies. In the words of Mr. Jefferson, inn report Inch he made to Congress on the 16th of December, 1703, on. tho subject of com merciul privileges nnd restrictions, " should ny nation, contrary to our wishes, suppose may be better find its ndvantage toy con nuiiig its system of prohibitions, duties qd regulations, it behooves us to protect ur cilircns, their commerce and navign. tion, by. counter prohibitions, duties and rcmilalions, also, r rco commerce and nav. igation aro not to be given in exchange for restriction and vexations; nor arc they likely to produce a relaxation of them.

Craious Historical Fact. During the trou. blcs of tho reign of Charles I., a country girl caftne to London in search of a place as a servant mliid, but not succeeding, she hired herself to to carry out beer from a browhousc, and was one of those i ailed tub women. The brewer observed a good looking girl in this occupation, took her in. to bis family as a servant, and after a short time married her, but he died whilo ahe was yet a young woman, and left her the bulk of his fortune. The business of brewry was dropped, and Mr. Hyde was recommended to the young woman, as a slid, ful lawyer In arrango her husband's aflaira. Hyde, who was afterwards Earl of Clarendon. Cndinr the widow'a fortune very considerable, married her.

ROBERTS, EDITORS.' Friday, April 39, 1843. lEfKLlCAl WHIG TICIET. For Governor,' JOHN M. MOKEIIEAP.' ELECT to FtBST THURSDAY IN AUGUST, ST We expect to publinh next week a part or the whole of the epcech delivered in the Senate of the United State, on the 11th of March last. by Mr, Simhoxs, of Rhode Ilund, on the resolu tion of Mr. CLr, and in reply to Measn. Wright, Woodbury and Calhoun, for which we bepeak an attentive perusal. " It is clearly the production of a clear-headed and able statesman, and seta forth fuels important to be known in every class of the community. We would seriously advise our friend, and particularly those who may be lirougl before the people as candidates for a seat in the next Legislature, to lav by tho paper containing the speech when published, as they will find it great convenience as a matter of reference. Tariff. Not long since wo expressed it as ou opinion, that n Protective -Tariff, judiciously laid, was, among other things, a matter of great importance to every interest of ou country, ror this we have been indirectly taken to task by morcjJianone of our co. temporary prints, and some have turned up their ryes in lioly horror at the bare idea that we should have hud tho temerity to publish such an opinion to tho world. . It is nevertheless true, that we do entertain such an opinion, end that wc have, and expect again, plainly to express it. On this sub ject we believe as did Mr. Jefferson, and n it seems to us every reflecting man must believe, who U not cither seeking his own aggrandisement above his country's good or blinded by party prejudice. Since the taking effect of the Compromise Act, im portations ol cloths ol all kinds, boots shoes, hats, ready mado clothing, and fu niturc, have glutted our markets in eyry quaricr our mccuanics nave oeen mrown out of their regular employment, an have been compelled to turn their attention to agricultural pursuits in conseauence of which, the whole country is flodcd with tho products of the farm, wlifle lew sales arc to be made, and they at a price ruin ously low. We send apportion ol our wheat abroad to be exorbitantly taxed to feed the narving manufacturer of other countries, while at home, under a judicious Tariff, we could give twice as much bread for his cloth, andlio give twice as much cloth for our bread. Such are the high du ties imposed by other countries, England for example ,J-upon American importations that comparatively few are made, and we constant! paying out our gold and silver for thatwhich could easily be furnished at homein return for the productions of the farnf. This is in truth what has becomo of r money. It is with a nation as with a umily if cash ho paid out for every thing, and little or no business-done that brings cash in, it must be a sinking business. If the products of our country could gain ad mittancc in foreign ports without being so highly taxed, we should hot advocate a tariff above the wants of the Government ; but, in the language of President Jefferson, nus: meet nign duties wan lush duties : and while we havo a free trade, wc should als'oTiavc'affpartRfde: ' ; In the language of on esteemed cotem- porary , ' wc have toiled long enough tp pay for British and French goods. We have spent enough money for tho benefit of the foreign manufacturer," whilo our own ciii- zens work far ono half of what they ought to getj and what they would get were they properly protected. Whilo we continue to look for our knives and forks to Sheffield to Birmingham for our cloths to Lyons for our silks, and to Paris for our bhocs and boots, w shatl be little else in fact than n dependency on Mother countries. Wc wont National Independence, in the full sense, oi that term. It is "beyond doubt the interest of the Southern as well as the Northern portion of our country, to manufacture our raw mate- rial instead of sending it abroad to be done. This can easily be showri. In this State there arc now in successful operation some twenty cotton factories, employing from eighteen hundred to two thousand white operatives, and.sending off domestic"! to the heart of Ncw-England, and afford a portion of the supply required for shipment around Cape Morn. Southern goods stand high in New York, Philadelphia and other places where they have been introduced. If a greater portion of our population were en gaged in manufacturing, it would nccessa- rily create a greater demand for agricultu. ral products, which would then command a fair price. There is another fact connected with this subject, which deserves serious attention. England is making every possible effort to supply herself and the world with cotton grown in her East India colonies and or ders for cotton have actually been sent out hither from this country. In a very few jrearaher cotton wilIU in nertm.A ad . tariff will hat, protect ih Southern plant inij Whenever this project on the m IJf land weeeed, a.
