In the State of Norlh Carolina, we are too apt to find fault with whrti may be done in the Legislature lor the improvement of the State. It should be remembered that, in a country like ours, where public opinion has almost the force of law, it is indispensable to the success of any scheme or project that may be adopted by our lawgivers in the Legislature, that the citizens should, in the first place, inform them selves well, as to the provisions and details the measures adopted. And, in the next place, to determine, that where no better plan or enactment is likely to be soon offered for the public good, to join heartily in the support of the one proposed, although we may not in all regards, approve its provisions, or may fancy in our own minds, something less objectionable. Our Legislature has already done much for education. It has erected, and endowed on a liberal scale, a Uuiversity for the education of those, whose parents have the means to bestow on them a thorough education. The Legislature have, for several years past, enacted salutary laws, establishing, and gra dually enlarging, by sundry appropriations, a respectable fund in amount, with the design, from the. interest thereof, to commence the establishment of Common Schools on some regular system, throughout all the counties of the State. The object of these well advised Legislative enactments, is, in addition to the facilities already furnished, by a collegiate course of instruction for the children of the wealthier classes, to bring the means of com mou school instruction, home to the door of every citizen. To attain this latter object, au act was pass ed by the last Legislature, designed as commencement of this great, this very desira ble work. And by this act it is provided (as with the greatest propriety it should be,) that the free citizens of the whole State, hall be, in the outset, called upon to pronounce their so lemn judgment, upon the propriety of its pro visions. The sheriffs are to give public notice, that at the next August election for members of Congress, the free voters (for such members) will be called upon to vote, for or agaiust the adoption of the plan proposed in the above named act. That is, they are to vote "school" or "no school" as they shall be for, or against it. Where a majority in the respective coun ties, favor the plan, the next county court is to appoint commissioners, to lay off school districts, not above six miles square, and when the taxes for the county are laid, twenty dollars will be required to be collected from each district, and a school house built. To this twenty dollars, forty more will be imme" diately added, to be paid out of the present year's interest of the school fund of the State, and with this sum of sixty dollars, and with the suitable building for a School house ready erected, the commisaioners appointed, from among every man's neighbors in his o wn dis ti ict, are to proceed in the use of it, to estab lish schools. With this sum of sixty dollars a teacher may be employed to teach during the winter season, lor six months, and during that period, all the children, within the district may be instructed, in reading, writing, English Grammar and Arithmetic, with out paying one cent of tuition or board. AVill any presume to say, that the adoption of such a plan is accomplishing nothing for the cause of education? How many individuals in the State, (even of those who are called wealthy) Bend their children to school, upon an average, six months in the year? Remember it is employing children, one half of the year at school. Very few do this. Will it be no benefit to the whole population of the State, to enable every lather or guardian to do it? FAYETTEVILLE OBSERVER. We have been a subscriber to (his paper ever since Mr. Hale edited it and with our last week's number, received from ttfe office of that print, we were favored with the new prospectus, which, by the way of returning the compliment for publishing our prospectus, with accompanying remarks, we publish as follows: "the ta yetteville observer Is printed, weekly, by Edward J. Hale, at $2 50 per annum, ?f paid in advance, &c. "The Observer is o'ppbsed to the present corrupt administration, and will spare no ex ertions, consistent with honor and fair deal ing, to promote the election of Henry Clay, or such other individual as may be the cdndi date of the whig pa: ly, for the next presiden cy, (. e.

And will you put to rout wdd totally annihilate the whole demo cratic ascendency in the United States, cruel Mr. Hale?

BARKSDALE, JSlarch 6, 1839. 2-3t rfiministralor. Let every one take a glance at the amount that will be tli as annually expended in the good cause of enlightening the public mind, by the plan proposed. The State of North Carolina comprises a territory of 43,800 square miles. There must be therefore at the least 1,216 School Districts, (without allowing for such as by the act, are to be of 9maller dimen sions when the density of the population will justify it,) which at 60 dollars each will amount to no It js than 73,000 dollars, besides the value of 1,216 School Houses, large enough to accomodate lifty I scholars each. Let no one then be found to say that the Legisla." ture have done nothing in this matter. Let none indulge in the usual querelous, sensorious spirit prone to complain, that nothing is done when the fault ia in thcnrselves. On the contrary, Ict every one take tV.e trouble t0 procure the Act of Assembly, and read it attentive ly, so as to be enabled to remember its provisions, and impatt ihcin to all who are entitled to vote for members of Congress. Let those persona of wealth and leisure and edu cation, be especially careful enough of the interests of the lower classes, to bestir themselves by distri buting a thorough knowledge of the Act of Assem bly, so that the voters nlay be prepared to know something of the subject they are required to exer cise their suffrages ujh.ui. If one-tent i part the pains that are taken' in Congressional elections, shall be exercised honestly and heartily, on this subject of school's, there Will not be a county in the State, where the plan will not be adopted. And the matter being once set on THE MAINE TROUBLES. We publish to-day Mr. Van Buren's mes sage ou this perplexing, vexed question. Let all who read it, note well, the language it holds, the circumspection, prudence aud dig nified intelligence which are wont to charac terize the public acts of the grave statesman, patriot and sage : and at the same time the stern independence, that so well becomes the honored head of a great, independent, re publican people. These same main troubles, about a boun dary line running through the piney woods between the State of Maine and the Province ofVew Brunswick, have their famous loca tion upon the waters of the "Aroostook." Do you know that celebrated river, gentle reader? Did you ever hear of it before? Was there ever such a name? In the whole Cherokee, Creek, Patowijr, Camonche, . RIcUV, or any other heatnen lingo, wnsthcrocvorony thing to come near it? Aroostook! The Aroostook war! the Aroostook blues, or greys or greens, or independent volunteers! Deliver us from such names, such fights, and such uncomfortable memberships in any such out landish corps! Yott remember, no doubt, Buonaparte's cel ebrated retreat from Moscow. After the brave hero had got to Paris, and stood with his back to a comfortable wood-fire, rubbing his hands together in the utmost complacency of man ner, he is said to have remarked, "that it was much more comfortable there than on the banks of the "Baregina," where he had left hi wretched soldiers to perish with cold."; .s we sat (our editorial self we mean) by a warm stove, reading the account of these same troubles in the North, on the day of the snow, we felt something like the great man's self-satisfaction, as we internally soliloquized "it is much more comfortable here than on the banks of the Aroostook." But without more jesting on such grave matters, we hope and believe, that in the friendly state of feeling known to exist be tween the United States and England, there can be no apprehension of serious or pro tracted difficulties. If the whigs don't join the British in a body, Kinderhook will keep all strait. to make any arrangement on this subject, the undersigned can only recommend, as they earnestly do, to the Governments of New Brunswick and Maine, td regulate their future proceedings according to the terms herein set forth, until the final settlement of the territorial dispute, or until the Government of the United States and Great Britain shall come to some definite conclusion on the subordinate point upon which they are now at issue." Signed bv Mr. Fox. the British Minister, and by Mr Forsyth, Secretary of State of the U. States, February 27, 1839. In addition to the intelligence contained in the President's Message, arid the above arti cle from the North Carolina Standard, upon the subject of the difficulties with Great Bri tain, we regret to perceive by the news from Washington received here yesterday, that the affair threatens more serious consequences than we had reason to apprehend. By yester day's mail we learn that the subject was re ferred to a committee in the House of Repre sentatives, whose chairman, Mr. Howard, made a masterly report to the House, accom panied by a bill which report and bill, we will give to our readers next week. The bill passed without opposition, and was concurred in by the Senate, and is in substance, as follows: It authorises the President if he shall deem il advisable) to call out such por tionftof the militia as he shall think requisite, Also to employ, if necessary, any portion of the army or navy of the Uuited States he may deem sufficient, In defence of the claims of the U States to the territory in dispute. It also authorises him to raise one regiment of tcUijf, Ann of dragoon;, and sixteen of in fantry; appropriates one million of dollars, if a war should be commenced, to improve the fortifications on our coast, &c. aud further appropriates eighteen thousand dollars for out fit and salary for a special minister, to be snt to England to negociate on the subject of these troubles, and adjust them, if practica ble, without involving the country in war. We rejoice that in the adoption of these in dispensable measures, to the honor aud inde pendence of the national character, there seems to have been perfect unanimity in Congress men of all parties seem to have dropped, for the time, their political animosi ties, and the cheering spectacle was present ed, of perfect accordance with the views of the President, both by the committee and the members of both Houses, on the passage of ths bill. May the calamities of war be yet averted by the prudence of Ministers, and a humane forbearance on both sides. ers, by warming their hearts, elevating their morals, and embellishing their tasfeS, with the perusal of the excellent moral scrap from the pen of Mrs. Sigourney, with which the poeti cal head of our paper 13 so richly adorned; This lady, the pride of modern, poets, is daily chiseling out for herself, in her own un pretenJirig way, a higu nuch in the perdurable temple of fame, which posterity will be proud to rear in honor of such beneWclors of tbe human race. Mr. Hale must understand that Mr. Ed wards means, (in the resolution alluded to in this paper of this week), the "fraud aafl force'' used to obtain a re-charter in Congress, when i General Jackson ihterp"osed his veto and on a second occasion, the "fraud and force" used in procuring a charter in the State of Penn sylvania. In no state of things, can Weldori N. Edwards be pronounced to act faithlessly to any trust reposed in him, much less can any thing that gentleman says deliberately, be pronounced untrue. We tender grateful acknowledgments to the editors of The North Carolina Standard, Cheraw Gazette and Fayetteville Observer, for their friendly notice and approval of our first number; and take this occasion to tender the hand of editorial fellowship to all gentle men cf the honorable profession we are em barked in, only seeking at the hands of our adversaries, an open and honorable field, wilh the use of fair weapons. We acknnwledge, thankfully, the receipt of sundry documents from Messrs. Strange, M'Kay, Calhoun. Bynum, Deberry and Montgomery. our magician he of GYNiEOCRACY AGAIN. You know the meaning of this word, my fair reader? It is almost as ugly as Aroostook. But you know it means one brancjj 0f it at least that government to which the sort of husband, vulgarly ycleperl 'henpecked,' hum bly submits in his farry.iy. In its general sig nification, it mentis by interpretation, the uni versal thraldom and submission, in which your beautiship's majesties are known to nold till mail-kind.

A letter from Washington City, entitled to the highest credit, under daie of 27th ult. says "Th prospect of war with England, on yesterday very menacing, is, I am happy to say, becoming less so, as I am informed that the British Miuister has submitted a proposi tion of a specific tendency; and if carried in to effect, will for the present, prevent any col lision between the military forces of the two ountrfas." MR. STRANGE'S SPEECH. We regret we cannot give to our readers the whole of this speech at ode view ; but the remaining part will be given next weeji, our readers will have a double tre't. Compare the position of our veteran re publican Senator, (the Tnati so long known in our State councils as the staunch, unflinch ing upholder of right principles) with that of the Y'.rgiryia chieftain of the "armed neutrali ty" himself, by the bye, no longer "netrtral" no longer conservative but at once trans ferred into the ranks of the Federal party, and with all the zeal of a new convert, put fore most by them, in upholding any measure of an ultra partizau character,-designed to injure his late friends. He has become the first champion of the new gag law. A law by which his new friends would stop the mouths of a respectable and numerous class of citi zens, upon the subject of all others, the most interesting to freemen. We mean the subject of the elective franchise. But read the speech afHentively, and while you look on the combat, learn and see for yourselves, the character of the combatants and the cause of fight: " GEOLOGY AND REVELATION; If any of our readers are too wise to be in. stnlcted (and by consequence delighted) by our extract on the last page of this paper, un der the above head, we feel that we have made ample provision for such an unlooked for, aud we hope, rarely occurring instance ia the intelligent circle of the Carolinian's read- "ONE OF THE PEOPLE." A writer, over the above signature, in a grave and laboured argument, published first in the Raleigh Star, and re-published, this week, in the Fayetteville Observer, presents to the view of his fellow-citizens, a remarkable instance of that malign censoribtisness, and rancorous hostility to the institutions of his country, to which the very high degree of in tellect he evidently possesses, may be some times unhappily prostituted, in the heat of par tizan conflicts upon political subjects. "One of the People" predicates the sage conclusion, to which he is unfortunate enough to bring his own mind, and aims in his publi cation, to bring the minds of his readers: -first, upon the oft repeated arguments on the floor of the Senate of the United States, in favor of the resolution passed in that body, censuring the conduct of General Jackson, and against the resolution, expunging that stigma upon the character of the late Presi dent Secondly, that conclusion is founded, upon draughts taken from the pure fountain of Mr. Bond's speech, and transfused in less pretending rills, of abuse against the govern ment, through the argument alluded to. Thirdly. The conclusion, bottoms its pre tensions to truth, upon the alleged misconduct of Mr. Woodbury, in neglecting to report cer tain defaulters in the land offices of the Gov ernment, and the defalcation of the late col lector at New York. And what is the conclusion to which the mind of "One of the People" professes, in his publication, to be led, from these various sources of argument? It is nothing less, my readers, than that "this government (of ours) is the most cor rupt upon the face of the globe"!!! Yea! This is the modest conclusion arrive-i at, as to a government, which so far frcy,n oppressing the people, has actually within the last three years, distributed amongst the States, for the good of the of the people, $25,000,000 in specie, or its equivalent. A government that has purchased within the period marked out by "One of the Peo ple," as the peculiar sera of corruption, 116, 557,877 acres of land. A government that has disincumbered itself, in the same Deflod, of a" heavy responsi bility of public debt. A government that has restored our previ ously interdicted commerce with the West Indies. A government that by its manly energies, compelled the payment of 25,000,000 francs, that had been long due by France. - A government, that wisely instituted friend ly aud reciprocal commercial regulations with the Empire of Turkey. A government, that has nearly accomplish ed the desirable and lefng cherished object of removing the Indian tribes beyond the Mis sissippi. A government, under whose overshadow ing protection, two' new States have been ad mitted hito the Un'ion, and two territorial governments have been organized. A government, which accomplishes this ef fectual protection to the cnterrrisia' einU grant, with a standing army of only a,bout 6 or 7000 soldiers. A government, under whose wise regula tions, the commerce of the country has in creased to an extent to which former periods of its history, bear no comparison. A government, whose navy has been regu larly and rapidly enlarging its strength; whose fortifications, light houses, arsenals and other public works, are every where arising to se cure the country' against dangers from with out. - A Government iin'dcr whose benign influence, rail roads have been constructed, canals exc.ivatci!, steamboats multiplied and every improvement has tened into a rapidity of movc.Tient unparalleled ia 'he annals of the world. A Government by whose immediate policy and financial skill, the amount of the precious metals i-.s the country has been increased u ii';in srvea years, from the suui of 0,000,000 to 80,000,000 dol lars. A Government that by the moral agency .ad sa CTfcCity of its late illustrious head, has disentangled its financial operations, from the paializiiig i:iliu; :ico of one might overshadowing monied monopoly. A Government in sh.rt illimitable in its power la do good to the citizen, and whose constitution, i.i practice as iri theory, is the trail script, as it :s ih-s infallible guarantee of civil libarty. We' will not submit to argue questions anew, which have been the constant tliemos of the orators irt Congress and intelligent editors of both psirlics, for thb kst five yc-ar3. Themes npon tho policy, propriety and justice of which, after grave and sol emn argument, in the halls of Congress, circulated in pamphlet? hy the thousand, and newspapers with out number, the deliberate jn lgmont ofc the public voice, has been twice pronounced.
