Very respectfuHy, ^:c. li. BROWN. lion R. j\I. Saundp.hs. Washing TON. January 4, 1813. Sir Your letter of the 1st inst. in answer to mine of the 26ih December, under corer of a note fiom Mr. Bragg, has been received- To my first inquiry, whether you had said 7/ou was willing to t*ote for “an ultra federalist” in preference lo me, you answer in the atfirmaiive.— You also admit the conversation as stated by mn to hape passed between us before 1 left Raleigh. But you say your sentiments were changed in conse quence of my course bein£r personally unkmd. and of other matters to which you refer. To which I answer, I iiviithcr said or did any thmg pcnuing lae contest, to which you had a right to take e.xception. And il might have been well had you inquired as to the truth of the facts, before decidmg upon a sup posed case of injustice. As to your opinion on the efT ct of an election of a Democrat by Whig votes, 1 take the liberty of say ing, it is the more singular as coming froui you , as I learn Dr. Shanklin voted for you in caucus—for Mr. Graham in the House, and finally for you again. And I further learn, when a Whig Senator expressed to a friend of yours his disposition to rote for you—there w’as no objection to your being elect ed by a Whig I'oie. You also admit the correctness of the expression as used by Mr. Van Buren,andas repeated by you. I take it tor granted, the authority of Mr. Van Bu- ren in regard to me, was invoked by you, in order to influence those to whom the remarks were repeated. The office of Commissioner under the French Trea ty, was conferred upon me by President Jackson, without my application or knowledge on my part, but as I understood at the time hy my friend Louis McLeane, then Secretary of State, on his recom mendation, together with that of Mr. Vao Buren. When the commission was about to expire, Mr. Kane, one of the Commissioners and a personal friend of mine, informed me that Mr. Henderson, the Comptroller, was about to resign, and bethought it a situation that would suit me, and for which I was well qualified. I at first declined having any thing to do with it, but was induced, after my resig nation as Attorney General, to allow him to inquire into it. Several letters, at my request, were forward ed lo me, and amongst the number one from Mr. Macon to the President, and one from Gov. Spaight to Mr. Van Buren. Flaring been elected Judge, my name was not further pressed. But on my re turn home, I receiv'ed from Mr. Van Buren an op^n letter to Gov. Spaight, in answ^er to his, couch ed iu the most friendly and liat'ering If'ims towards me in which he uses language very different fron) that which you sa?/ he used to you. Whilst in Washington, I was on all occasions treated by IVlr. V an Buren, w’ilh marked respect. 1 hare fell it due to myself to make this statement, and not because I supposed you felt any particular interest about it. I come now to the only matter in your letter to which L had ihe right lo take exceptions on person al groun Is—and that is, the part in which you ad mit you used the expression, “that (you) had long known (me) to be politically dislionest.” You add an expl.'tnaiion of the “ meaning” in which yow in tended the use of these terms. And as I understand by this explanation, you intend to disclaim the of fensive sense of ihese words “ poliiically dishonest, ’ and that you did not intend thereby to impeach my public and 'private integrity—but that you used the words excepted to, in the sense of ambition and not of kncivery. If in this, I ha«e understood you correctly, then am I content, and shall consider the correspondence as closed. 1 have the honor to be. &c. R M. SAUNDERS. Hon. B. Brown. iJ'i' JEFFERSONIAN: Charlotte, Nortli-Carolina, TUESDAY MORMXG, FEB. 14, 1843. Democratic candidate for I^residcnt nf tiu United States: JOHN C.

The few that still lag will soon be rallied under its ample folds: on that banner is inscribed Free Trade ; Low’ Dutie.s ; Xo Debt; Separation from Banks; Economy ; Retrenchment, and a JStrict adherence to the Consti tution.

But it is not so. The resi may “sinA: or swim” as best they can, but the iStan- dard seems determined that the BanAr of the State shall only be reached ouer his prostrate and lifeless body. The conduct of the Standard towards a rery re spectable portion of the Democratic party, we meon that part of it composed of the old Nulliticrs. is not less rec/cless and unsparing than his denunciations of those who dare suspect the purity ot' the Ban^ of the jS’tate. If hy this new born zeal against the Nullifiera? H hat possible political purpose can be subseri’ed by decrying Nullification ?—Mas not the Editor the particular friend of Judge iSaunders in the ►S’enatorial election—the ^person to whose es pecial care the interests of the Judge were entrust ed, in his absence? ITere not the Judge’s warmest supporters to be found among those, who in olden times were the advocates of Nullification—and was not the Judge Amown to the Editor of the Standard to be friendly to the election to the presidency of a man, who has been styed the Prince ol’ Nullifiera ? Why then this emptying, in so short a limc. of the vials of his wrath against that gallant but slandered and much abused band? Has it that, ashamed of his treatment of Judge Saunders, as soon as he was out of sight, in order to cover his own infamy and treachery, he sets up a senseless “hue and cry” against Nullification?

When the " Gold fever,” was so prevalent here a few years since, we heard a gentleman, whom we then thought an en thusiast in the business, declare his belief that Mecklenburg county was one great gold mine—that the precious metal,; could be found anywhere in her bounds if proper search were^ made. Subsequent experience has proved this no very in^^ rect opinion. For, of late we hear of new veins bein^ discov*^ cred in all dicections, some of them of the richest character.^ We have just seen some epecimPns of ore taken from a vein repudiate such conduct, and save ruinous and disgraceful dissei iS'tandard is so raj^ be the ini§rest ol State (a^oii£rt Guilford,] late dai 01 he The followingc(;; rcc1 remarks are froin the mo neyed a?tides of the N^w York Herald.

The course of the party noIV ascendant at Washington has been opposed to the old system of invioiabililv of contracts. They hare sought popularity by tndearorirg to release the debtors from the claims of creditors, without ta king into riew the danger of knocking dow”n the old landmarks of commercial integrity. They fa vored bank frauds and dishonesty by their example in allowing the District banks to remain suspended. They set the example of bad jaith in git-ing av.ay the land ret'enuesof the Federal G'U-ernment, while that Gorernment was unable to pay its own debts. They encouraged State repudiation, by holding out the hope that relief could be got from other quarters than taxation. The land distribution bill had been passed on thp cjnditiun that the proceeds should re- rt-rt to the treasury when an increased tariflf became necessary. When that necessity arru'ed, regardless of plighted faith,they sought to repeal the condition.

By venting all his abuse upon us, the Editor of the :;ialeigh Standard has endeavored to produce the impression in the State, that ours lias been the only preee, and our particular political friends the only persons in the State, who have disapproved of his recent course. So far from iliis being the fact, from what we have learned on the subject, there were not ten men in the legisiatare, pretending to be demo crats, who did not denounc,e him as bank boughi and as no democrat at heart; and we are euro the proportion of our party in the State who regard him in the same light is much greater. As evidence of this fact, we copy the following well written and merited castigation from the Republican, a thorough going and able democratic paper published at IFash- ington in the eastern port of the Siote. With the Republican, we say kick the overboard; the editor of it is no Democrat, and we have no idea of haring him any longer cited as authority against the democratic majority in the legislature: FROM THE WASHINGTON REPUBLICAN. THE RALEIGH STANDARD. . a detdoj if they amtmwilnffe to take him, nothing, here is to casting him out lie ranks, nolens^ volens. Though iejs not of us. He is verily a traitor in openly fomenting discord and division who should be friends. The party is not"#®%OPtrhg in vhe State as not to stand in need of all the advantages that are to be gained by union and concert of action. A way with him then, or else his conceit and recklessneae the Democratic par- iState will be distracted—dismembered, ^od most ingloriously overwhelmed. “Moreover in the coming elections in onr ^tate, our friends will be met every where by the H'higs, upon thfj Btump and at the cross-roads, with the 6'landard in their poc/cets, as furnishing testimony direct of the imbecility and meanness of our party, unless the true friends of Democracy take the earli est opportunity to disown the auvhonty of the Stan- V^^ard in the premises. For ourseli?es, we enter a plea the jurisdiction, and protest against any judgement rhich may be pronounced against ua, by one who f iate has provjed himself so little mindful of the in- rity—the interest and union of our party.” Southern Trade.—We are learn, from our largest houses ed with supplying ihe Southern tradi^ that the engagements of the Southern mercliants were never more promptly met than they have been this winter.— The rates of exchange, also, never ap proximated more nearly to par than now, with the exception of the State of Alabama. JV. Y. Journal of Conimcrcc. Then at this ! ! “One hundred conts to the dollar is the true and only stan dard of value, and if a Bank or its managers fail to keep its Notes up to that value, they are delinquent in their duty, and are wanting in good faith to the people, who have grant ed tliem corporate privileges.” Standard, Jan. 25- “ We learn that there was a sale of 50 pharea Bank of the State stock, last week, at SiDO pur share, on 90 days’ time.” Standard, Jan. ~5- Look at this ! I “Let us recur a iiQoinent, to the cause of all this di;?tur- bance and for vhat the Editor of the Standard is denounced. First: For advising our friends not to break doxcn the State Bank, because such a course would be injuri(ni‘itotheintcr- ests of the people. Second: For saying that the State Bank had been ^rell managed!! Both are Facts, that cannot be con troverted—and, we should think, very proper to be ex pressed by those who desire the people to hear the Tbcth.” Standard, Jan. 25. “See! in what palpable absurdities and contra dictions Editors will involve themselves, who attempt to bolster up tlic credit of our sinking Banking insti tutions. They are sinking in credit, by their own bad management, and under the jiist frowns and in dignation ofthe people; and yetEditorscan be found, calling themselves Democratic, who manifest a wil lingness to cut loose from all party associations and sink the ship of Democracy, if whilst they are going down, they can but receive the plaudits or approving smile ofthe Banfc aristocracy ot the land. The late course ofthe Standard in relation to this sijbject is most surprising as well as most unaccountable. I\ot content with swearing himself, most loudly, that the BanA- ofthe State is well managed, and that its di rectory is composed ol the “ greatest ana best ot the a^e, he most unmercifully pounces upon every unlucity nrchin of an Editor, \yho ventures to express a contrary opinion.

Then the only reasonable conclusion that can be formed of the conduct of the Standard is, that the editor is prompiedly a WMcked and deliberate design to destroy the ascendency of the democratic parly in North Carolina, for which he should receive the curses of every Democrat in the land. He is casting fire brands into our ranks to destroy us, and unless he is disowned and cast out as an enem^y and a spie. our principles and party will suffer aa inglorious defeat. Like Judas—“pieces of silver” have been the ruin of the Editor ol tho Standard. The whole of the loan authorised by Congress has recently been taken by New York capitalists. So goes up the w'hig national debt in time of peace! The amount of U. S. Treasury Notes outstand ing on the 1st instant was 511,731,327 G9. A good Toast.--TUe Hon.

The Earthqnake.~"V\\ei shock of an earthquake which w’as felt here a few w’ce/cs since, was felt, as we learn from our exchanges, in almost all parts of this continent—but mora sensib'y to the South of this.

The subterranean force which hag several times shaken this continent seems, from the pow er which it has alwavs exhibited with most violence at that point, to have its seat beneath that portion o^ tho gr^t v.illcy.
