WM. II. BAYNE, EDITOR AND lUJ5TiISHER. Saturday Morning, October O, 1841. ZZJ A respectable company of ladies and gentle men, living contiguous to the Wilmington and Ra leigh Rail Road, lately indulged themselves in a pleasure excursion to Norfolk and Portsmouth, visi ted the U. 3. Navy Yard, the big ship Pennsylvania, tho Fortifications at Old Feint Comfort and the Rip Raps, sailed round the 74 gun ship Delaware, in Hampton Roads, partook of the hospitality of the good citizens of Portsmouth, where every thing was in accordance with true Virginian cordiality, and returned home after an absence of only four days; for all which they were indebted to the liberality of the Rail Road Officcis and Agents, at the low price of 94 each, going and returning. At the instance of several persons who were pre vented by the shortness of the notice from joining in the late expedition, another is proposed, as follows: Leave Wilmington on the 23d of October, stop that night at Goldsboro', reach Portsmouth the next day. Leave Portsmouth the following morning, (making the passage up the Bay by daylight,) re main four days in Baltimore, giving time to visit Washington or Philadelphia. Fare to Weldon from Wilmington, or any point on the Road $2. To Portsmouth $4. To Balti more $10, and no charge for mcale on board the Boat. . Persons desirous to join the expedition, are re quested tc leave their names at the Post Office, Fay etleville, as soon as convenient. We are authorized to say that the Cotton Plant Capt. O'Hanlon, will take the passengers on the excursion, from Fayetteville to Wilmington, for $3 a head ; and should she not be here at the time, no doubt the other boat will do the same. Carolinian To the Editor of the Observer. How long ago has it been since you, along with the rest of your party, raised the cry that the sala ries of officers, of Government were too high; that offices were sought after for the emolument, and that they were given with a view of rewarding par tizan services, rather than with an eye to the compe tency of the appointee, or the public good? I ask how long since 3 our party introduced resolutions into Congress to have the salaries of officers of Gov ernment reduced, and how long since you advocated the same doctrine? I ask these questions, because, In yoar paper of the 29th ult, I see you are trying to bring the small ness of the salaries of the Secretaries into ridicule, by a si'Iy attempt at wit, in comparing their situa tion to that of a militia Colonel who lost $500 one year by his commission, and made $500 tne next, by giving it up. If these questions are not answered satisfactorily, I shall take on early opportunity of looking over your file, and I think I can convince the public that you have suited your politics to your situation, in this particular, at least your parly being in the re ceipt of the salary note, and your opponents, then. CONSISTENCY. Thus the United States losos about $320, 000 by this regulator of currency this safe depository of public moneys this fiscal agent,' of which the Clay Whigs are so enamored that they are up iu arms to obtain another. Not content with withholding this money, the monster refuses to settle fair, and trumps up offcets by purchasing disallowed accounts against the United State, and claiming pay ment for them. The following extract from the document is a specimen of this kind of set-off. 2d, A claim on William Smith, duly as signed to tho Bank for $35,327 17, exclusive of interest. It is understood that a bill to pay this claim was passed by one or the other House of Congress at the late session, on the recommendation of the Secretary of War, who asked for an appropriation to pay it, but the want ot time, aud the pressure of business, prevented its being finally acted on. As the claim is admitted by the War Department, there is reasonable expectation to believe that it will be favorably acted on at the next reg ular session of Congress." This is beautiful ! bill to pay it passed one or the other House expect it will pass the next session ! And how came the mon ster by it 1 What business had she with such a claim, and how did she come by it ? We presume she gave her own notes for it when she knew that sho was insolvent, and would never pay them. We presume a committee of Coagcess can have the proof of this in the city, if they please. We have heard of such work many claims bought in that way some heavy cuts into the rive million French spoliation claim. But the enormity of the practice, and its corrupt influence on legisla tion.' A bank that has sixty members at a time on its Iedger,and always a corps of retained attorneys in Congress, to be buying up claims which the original claimant cannot pass through Congress, but which she can ! We hope our friends in Dup lin will be prepared to settle for the subscription to their paper, at the next toun. a friend will nave tne accounts in trust, and will present them. - HURRAH I HURRAH ! !

The trial occupied two days only. The prosecution was conducted by Hon. Robert Strange, State Solicitor, and the defoncc by Messrs. Ecclcs, Giles, Kelly, Little, and Toomer. Martin, the murderer, was sentenced to be hung, on the 29th inst., and Wad dill, tho instigator, to be bianded in the hand ; the lattor sentence being carried into execution imtne. diately; the former is suspended in consequence of an appeal to the Supreme Court. Crime Who can tell where the effects of the hard cider carousals of the last Presidential election will stop? The enormities that have been enacted since the summer of 1840, are not exceeded in the annals ot crime in this country. The Bank defalcations alone, would fill a volume. We can attribute this rapid increase of demoral ization to no other cause than the manner of con- last Presidential campaign. People The Union.; Col. Claiborne, formerly an M. C. fiom Missis sippi, and now Editor of the Natchez Free Trader, predicted in 1S38, in a letter to his constituents, a re-union of the Democracy and the Stale Rights par' ty. He now thinks that, what was prophecy th'rrf, is about to become sober truth now. He thinks there will be a union of the Democracy and the friends of Mr Tyler, who are well known to be the old stale rights party, for one of the leading princi ples upon which Mr Tyler vetoed the Bank bill was founded in the State Rights doctrine. In vetoing the two bills, he certainly deserves the esteem of the great Democratic family. The ques tion of a Bank is the great and all-absorbing point of difference between the two parties of the present day. All other questions are mere trifles to this ; and on this, Mr Tyler and the Democracy agree to a fraction. How then can they avoid supporting him when he is so clearly with them ? The Dem ocratic party contends for principles, not men, there fore when Mr Tyler carries out Democratic princi ples, he must be supported by the Democratic party. Although Mr Tyler has gone against the Demo cracy in some things, we are disposed to make many allowances for the peculiarity of the situation in which he was placed. A Democrat in heart and soul, yet elected by federalists, he could hardly do otherwise than make some concessions. We think his ttvo vetoes, should cover a multitude ofhis po litical sins. We perceive that theObsener man accuses the Richmond Enquirer with a determination to " sink or swim with Mr Tyler," but with much evident satisfaction quotes a paragraph from the Globe which he calls " hauling off from Mr Tyler." One thing is certain.- the Observer man is much dejected. It would sadly grieve him to see Mr Tyler go over to the " loco Tocos," as he contemptuously calls the Democrats. He discovers considerable desire to "hang on " to him himself, until his four years are out, when he would kick him to the dogs, to make room for Mr Clay. As we said before, we go for principles, not men, and should Mr Tyler not "be better Vlvised " than to be a candidate for the Presidency, in '44, on the Democratic ticket, and pledged to carry out Demo cratic principles, we should support him with plea sure. It is our opinion, however, that he does not con template being a candidate. The Death Knell. The Madisonian, speaking of the Whig manifes to, recently put forth by a few members of Congress says i " The manifesto must he recalled. It must be nullified. It mast be expunged from the memory as well as from the record, or it is the death watch of the party in power." The Madisonian is considered the organ of the President. The manifesto must be recalled, or Mr Tyler breaks with the whig party. " This augurs well." at which James Clyman presided, and hi. It. Collins, formerly of this place, was secretary. The call for this meeting is signed by sixty- five whigs of the first standing, and they state that Doty, as one of their commissioners con stituting a Board of Public Buildings, and Doty as treasurer, received forty thousand dol lars to be expended in constructing said build ings that he was guilty of wasteful extrava gance, and of embezzling the money so com mitted to his hands, and is a delinquent to the treasury in the sum of $7,000 and upwards that in consequence of this embezzlement aud delinquency he was on the Sth of March, 1639, removed from that office that from that time to this he has refused to pay over or ac count for these moneys, and it appears has never dared venture to return to tho Territory until he persuaded Mr Tyler to appoint him Governor, by which means he has control over the suits instituted against him. "They also charge James D. Doty with bribery and corruption in the exercise ofhis duty as Judge of the United States for the Territory of Michigan and 'also with being party to a fraud on the United States Treasu ry, in aiding and procuring the allowance of a fraudulent land claim.' "The meeting also resolves that in 'politics as well as in morals, his principles hang loose ly about him,' &c ..... """ 1WC know not upon what 'authority,) that "almoat-tlm very last act of Mr Cadger was to make an pointment of one hundred and six JWidshipmeyi." He further says that "if the Federal leaders tuldv4 ; the truth," when they said "Mr Paulding had made ' appointments for two years in advance,' then, and in that case, "the coon skin reformers have appoint- . cd 106 midshipmen for wiioni there are no va-; " cancies." . This is certainlyrvcry clear reasoning, and it be- hooves the friends of Mr B;ulger to acquit him if they can, or else acknowledge they have wronged ' Mr Paulding. ' Mr dishing, a Whig member of Congress, from Massachusetts, has come out against the Whi-r manifesto of the "forty federalists' in a letter to his constituents. He is very severe or. that part of the address which advocates the abrogation of the Veto power. The following is an extract: "That in none of the events which have transpired, is it possible for me to see good reason for a radical and revolutionary change in the Constitution of the United States. No evil exists, it seems to me, which calls for revolutionary remedies. "Yet an address has gone forth from a por tion of the rrfembers of Congress, purporting to be the unanimous act of a meeting of the "We cannot copy tho proceeding of this Whigs of Congress, which, besides arraigning jetins at lensuVaud merely advert to it to the President on various allegations of fact and surmises not iact, recommenas sucn rad ical changes of the Constitution." And then he enters his protest against the net "purporting to be the unanimous act of a meeting of the Whi?s of Congress." "I protest against the act itself, the mea sures it proposes, and the opiuions it promul- meetin show the infamous character of the appoint ments made bv this Administration. In some - j quarters the Whigs themselves have the cou rage to speak the truth openly and fearlessly, as in this instance, when they declare " ' That in view of these facts, supported by evidence so abundant and undeniable, we, VVhigs of Wisconsin, do feel ourselves justi fied and bound, by a sense of duty to our selves, to our Whig brethren of the Union, to the Administration of the National Govern ment, whose policy and measures-we support, to declare and proclaim James JJuane JJoty, the present Executive, to be, as a high public officer of our Territory, a public defaulter for a large sum of money, and under circum stances of the most aggravated guilt and mor al turpitude. vWhaf TlbjBjMWoe of Ileaven are wc to think of an uuiiiMJisiruuuu mm places su? mWi is m is einjjgw- the situation of Governor of lowal gates.

A log cab in placed in the centre of a street was made the re sort of the idle and the indolent. The mechanic, the merchant, and the laborer were exhorted to stop their business and give their whole attention to electioneering. Business was neglected to congre gate and lounge at a log cabin, to listen to the fren zied appeals of log cabin orators, whose sole object was not the propagation of truth by the use of cool and sober argument not to reason with his hearers, and quietly tell them their duty as good whigs and good citizens, but to inflame their minds to madness to work their feelings to the highest pitch of irritability. When the minds of men are wrought upon in this way, they are fit for any work no matter how desperate. This excitement pervaded the country from one extreme to the other. Its effects have not yet pas sed away, but let them be a warning to future gen erations.

The Tribune charges Colt with several minor offences here to fore committed, and says that his father has been Controller of the btate of Connecticut for many years. One of his sisters commit ted suicide some time ago. The Tribune adds ; . In a freak of passion at an early age, he fled from bis father's house to one of the Southern States, where he remained for some four years, procuring a support by various means, sometimes by honorable labor, and at others by dishonest tricks. Some vears since a warrant was issued for his arrest, but never served, tor swindling operations in Philadel phia ; and in 1839 he was brought before the police of this city for having burglariously en tered tho office of Judge Inglis, (at that time in wall street,) and stolen sundry papers there from. He then gave his name as Brown, and his case was never brought to trial. He is said to have lived for some time past with a woman who formerly moved in high society in Connecticut, whose husband has been crone tor some time to the West Indies. In the Government, and above all, should have been a man whoso honesty was unimpeachable, for he has a double chance of cheating. lie may cheat the Government and cheat the Indians. " Such conduct in any administration deserves the severest reprobation. Alarming to the people. A writer in the Philadelphia Pennsylvania!!, shows that a house and lot in Philadelphia, worth $10,000, is taxed $233, and that all tho taxes on a house and lot in New York, of the same value, for the same year, is only $51 !! The City of Philadelphia has been, he saj's, un der the control of the pipe-layers rince 1833. The City debt at that time, was 8 1,800,000, and on the 1st of Januarvl839, it amounted to &2,996)O0O!! In almost every State, City, or Town, where the Bank party have the sway, this is the case. Look at Maryland; look at Mississippi; aitd many more that we might name. But, worse than all, we ft ar our own State if get ting into the same wretched condition; and pitiable indeed would it be, should such be the case. Like Philadelphia, our Banks are suspended, and money scarce. If the farmer brings any thing to market, he cannot get half a price for it, and what encour age.nicsit is there for a man to strive, under such un toward circumstances? There is New York we do not know what her debt is but we see that her taxes are low, and that her Banks pay specie; whereas Philadelphia, only a few miles from it, a nrserable bank-ridden City with high taxes, low prices, over head and ears in debt; their Banks all suspended, what of them are not broke, and their currency shinplasters.

It is needless to say we highly approve of the let ter in all its bearings. The two Postmasters allu ded to, it will be seen, were appointed by Mr Gran ger, who probably turned out two Democrats for opinion's sake.

"No proscription for opinion's sake," was the cry of the destructives, last summer. Wc go For Resumption The Bank party being foiled in a National Bank, are taking no steps to effect a resumption of specie payments by the State Banks. They show their love for the "dear people" by keeping the sound Banks in a state of suspension, in order that the rot ten ones may drag out a miserable existence, instead of making them divide what little they have got, and wind up. In the name and by the authority of the great Democratic party, wc demand the resumption of specie payments. Let it be dono; and done quickly. Since writing the above, the Globe of the 3fJih Sept. came to hand, in which it is stated that $1,097, 340 in specie, were shipped from New York city in one week, say from the 20th Sept.

How does it look, for this man, after supporting General Jackson up to 1832, the time of the Nulli fication split in the Democratic ranks, to put his name to a paper denouncing those very measures ofGeneral Jackson, which he supported with all his might. We ask how does this look ? He is a Senator from North Carolina, dubbed honorable, and supposed to be so, yet it is a lamentable fact that he has been so blinded by party zeal, as to say with the old federal party, that he has been opposing these measures for twelve years. Mr Mangum's conscience must be very accommodating if he can reconcile it to this. This is Whig honesty. It will be recollected that Gen. Dodge, was the Governor of Iowa Territory, and was by some sup posed to possess more influence over the Indians, (who are placed under the care of the Governor of that Territory,) than any other man in the country. Some plan for the removal and permanent location of the Indians, was about to be adopted by Mr Poin sett, Secretary of War. When the new Adminis tration came into power, they removed Gen. Dodge, Duane Doty, of whose character for honesty we have " 7-, PUPses the Democracy not before spoken, was given the place; and in order ,whl they see specie leaving the country that there shall be no mistake about it, when we charge that the new administration placed a public rogue, and a public defaulter at the head of Iowa Territory, we subjoin the following proceeding of a meeting of WHIGS, (honest ones,) who know him well.

"It is a question, therefore, in fact, not of legislative measures, but of revolution." Here is a grand split in the Whig ranks.

This gentleman was one of the most re markablo persons, in respect to size, in the present age, aud is only excelled by the cele brated Daniel Lambert. Mr Cornelius was 6 feet 2 or 3 inches high, measured 6 feet around his body, and just previous to the ill ness, which terminated his life, weighed 721 pounds. He fell ofTin consequence of sick ness, and after death weighed but 685 pounds. Such was his extraordtuary weight, that an inch rope had to be used for his bed-cord. His wife is a tall spare woman, and his family consists of eight children, the youngest of whom is ten years of ago. His grown chil dren take after their father in respect to height, one of the sons being six feet one inch and u half high. Tho celebrated Daniol Lambert, who stands unrivalled in weight of body, reached, we believe, 739 pounds, only 19 more than that of Mr Cornelius, and the renown of Daniel has placed him among the wonders of the world. Mr Cornelius'was hardly less re markable a person, and filled nearly as great a space in the world. The following are the dimensions taken af ter his death: Circumferenco of waist, body, arm above elbow, below elbow, wrist, thigh, calf of leg; ankle, tc 6 8 2 2 1 4 2 1 1-2 at, J16,.1?16 of a mi,lion of dollars a week, wuiic uiauuuoreu paper, vile trash, filthy shin plasters, railroad tickets for 12 1-2 cents pay able in Baltimore city corporation stock, when one hundred dollars of them are pre yed, made the currency of the South and West, and even of Washington city ?

Crops in North Alabama. TheTus cumbia North Alabamian, of the ISthult., says: "The constant wet weathor for the last four or five .weeks has done extensive injury to the cotton.
