EDITORS' CORRESPONDENT E. Raleigh, Dec. 17, 1S40. Gektlemex : Internal Improvement still en grosses much of the time of the Legislature. The proj ct to construct a turnpike trom she city of Ra leigh to the west, which ehcitcJ such an animated discu;sion last week, lias b.-cn postponed tor the present, to consider a Si r es of r solutions eff red by Mr YVaddell, of Orange, proposing a general system of Internal Improvement. The system con templates the re-open :ng of Roanoke Inlet a turn pike or M'Adamised "road, from Ral. igh to the west, with lateral branches, and suppose a branch from some point on the Road to Fayctteville to a d the Raleidi fie Gaston and the "Wilmington & Ra leigh Rail Road Companies, with a line connecting these two loads togeth r. Mr YVaddtll spake at some length, in the Senate, yesttrday and to-day, in support ot the resolutions," in which, h ablv sus tsined himself as a pubi c speaker, taking just and liberal views of the whole subject. ' There appearing to be so man; conflicting inter ests to rt co.icilf, fiat it is probable nothing will be done in the way of Internal Improvement, except it be to aid the Wilmington and Rateib Company bv crii a ran teeing the credit of the State to the amount of $300,000. JMathias E. Manley was this day elected Judge to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the Hon. K. AI. Saunders. On the 7th and last voting, the vote stood, for Manley 91, Ilall 64 Scattering 9. One vote was taken to-day to supply the oth"r vacancy ; when Wm. S. Battle received 74, R. M. Saunders 67 Scattering 18. No election. Another Bill, on the subject of Common Schools was introduced to-day, in the House of Commons, this is found to be a very perplexing question, and difficult to mature any plan which is likely to meet the approbation of both branches of the Legisla ture. But one vote has as yet been taken in tha Senate on the establishment of new Counties, (to-wit,) the admission of Montgomery, which was defeated by the Speaker voting in the negative, and making a tie. Of she various bills of this character which have passed the Common?, none will, prohab'y, pass the Senate ; the old sectional feeling of East and West, which was thought to have been buried with the old Constitu'ion, is revived in full vigor, and runs into every measure designed to improve the internal condition of the State. We are likely to have a long session in conse quence of the many important subjects which are now neiore tne committees, and yet to be reported x ours, truly, to the Legislature. with President making ! Our Congress has become little better than a mere arena, where our great men and great talkers, spend four months and a half in the yesr, at the people's expense, in teaching the people who ought to be our next President, to the sdmost total neclect ot the business of ustful lg":s lation. Our Legislature?, following the example of our Congress, spend their time and the public money in like manner. Our news papers, in consequence of this itching after political controversy in Congress and the Leg islatures, are tilled with politics politics nothing but polities, from one day's end to another, and from one week's end to another. Are not our read ers tired of this perpetual, never ending, cv r be ginning suV.j.'ct ? If they are not, v.e are. We begin to think with Sir Harry Wildair in the p!av, that "Soup for breakfast, soup for dinner. soup for supper, and soup for breakfast again,' is hut very stirn fare. And what is me re, v e intend to serve up fur our read rs fo.iic other sort of dih in iuture. A sort of literary and nnsc Ilaneous patch patch, as wel concocted as our culinarv sk ill can make it, vii:h a rrgu!ir infusion, r r smart sprink ling of old fashion d I'trzinla politics, da?h-d weekly in'o the kettle, bv way of cavitjc. tr what the French call setter piquant.' iQ VV e snail keep a sharp !o k out for the fxl- eral doings c f the whrns, for all that, and give them a wrap on the knuckles when th y deserve it, with tht ir mad pr.i'k. Itoyal Splcinloi-. General Harrison it seems, is to enter Washing ton, on the 4th of March next, with the same sort of triumphant procession that followed at the h els of Pompey and Ca--ar, when they were treading in the dust the libf r'ies of the pce ple of Rome. The good old North State is to furnish her quota of this slavish Roman rct'nue, in honor of the con queror. We shall see them soon appointing Har rison Dictator to conquer the Seminole,) as the Romans did Pompey to conquer the pirates. We earnestly hope, that the wh'gs will be con tent writh the victory they have won, and forbear to set the first example of these useless and dangerous pageants in honor of their successful aspirant oflcr power. The shouts and clamor of senseless multi tudes, assembled to do honor, to their successful generals, were one of the worst means of enslaving the Romans. Let us not see the degrading "spectacle exhibited in the case of the tc'ig President elect. Scandal. One of our exchanges informs us, that a Mr Fitzpatrick recovered $10 damages, at Boston last week, of a Mrs McClean, for having said that " such a likely man as Mr FitZpatricu. ought to be ashamed of himself for marrying Mrs Fitzpatrick when he knew she had been too familiar with John Dorrety." Good ! that's excellent. People that will say what ihey have no business to, ought to pay well for it. The Charleston Courier is warm in it praise of the President's Message. The Editor knows bow lo appreciate talent, " firmness and fidelity .'

Tlie Message It can ba with no other than feelings of pride and pleasure that we present this document to our read- . t- i i r .1 i -I.. i-i .... ers. vv e i:ei proua oi me aDiiuy aispiayea in its diction. It is just such a beau ideal of a state paper, as we expected from our able Chief Alajistrate. How chaste in style how perspicuous and logical how dignified noble, and magnanimous, the bearing of its writer, our glorious democratic chief tain, under defeat ! How different, in short, from the slump speeches of his adversary, at Cleaveland, Dayton, and elsewhere? The election is nowhere alluded to in the message. The President, still, as he has ever done, relies with unshaken confidence, in ihe final correctness of the judgment which the American people will pronounce, upon his official acts. Even the whigs do not pretend to deny that it is an able paper, though their Journals areconfounded at the coolness and self possession of the man. They are vexed at his indifference to defeat. They, of course, affect to ridicule his adherence to the Sub- Treasury. "NY e are informed in the message that every de mand upon the Treasury, whether at home or from abroad, has been promptly met, and that the proba ble available balance in the Treasury on the first of January next will be $1,500,000. YY'hat then shall we call the many statements of YY'higs and YVhig Journal?, during the late election, that the Treasury was bankrupt, and did not meet its liabilities ? YY"e think they may certainly be placed under the whig term, "lie." It is perhaps expected of us to review the promi nent features of the Message ; but why should we? recan say nothing that will give half the pleasure of the perusal of it, and therefore refrain. That Mr Y'an Buren honestly believes that the measures of his administration were for the good of the country, no man of sense will deny; and whether he was right in that belief, shall after fears decide. He said of his message to the extra session of'37.
