Mr , day in his recent elec tioneering tour? made a speech at Memphis ' without reference to. party," -in , which- he relates the following '(remarkable facts :" "If there had been "no veto," said Mr Clay, "there would have been uo prevention of the charter of a National Bank ho Temtoval of the Depoaites no treasury circular uo mul tiplication of State banks no inflation of paper- currency no stimulating of excessive enterprises anj mad speculations no con sequent explosion, collapse, and the universal ruiu which overspreads our noble land." ' Mr Clay has not told the whole of the . calamitous results of that veto. If it had not been for that, the United States would still have owned seven millions . of. the stock of the U. S. Bank Mr Biddle would not for several years to come have been indicted for swindling Andalusia would not have been sold by the Sheriff" the Chinese would have continued to smoke opium, instead of being smoked by gurpowder paper bullets instead f lead, would have been circulated iu.Aff gnanistan the Eastern Question ' would never have been asked Beaumont Smith would not have forged Exchequer Bills Queen Victoria's firstborn would have been a boy, and so saved the expense of a s'idden repetition the Yorkshire and Manchester Banks would riot have been plundered by J their Directors th - TnoatKiro spitmora would not have made short work of their mills, nor the Military short work with the populace there would have been no short crops of corn nor long petitions for bread there would have been no rise of duties nor full of stocks in the United States no Swartwouting no absquatulation no bank robberies no nothing and, in short, the end of the world would not have happened in 1843. nor the tail of the comet been half so long as it is. What an awful thing is the Veto ! ! Charles ion Mercwy. . From llie Washington City Clarion. CONCILIATION. We love to persuade uien to art for their nwu and their country's good. The last Pre sidential election shows that over a million of voters cast their ballots for -Mr Van Buren, while a larger number voted for.W. II. H'ar rUou. Now it is conceded on all sides that many Democrats voted for General Harmon, through error, anger, moi tification and re venge. The battle ended in the triumph of the great whig party, who stole our mottoes nud enticed away our rauk aud file. A new era has now dawned upon the people of this coHntry. Gen. Harrison and his party by their acts have lost the affection and respect of the Democracy that voted for them. The leader sleeps in his grave and new leaders like the successors of Alexander appear to divide the Republic. Under such circum stances does it become us to repudiate those of our clan who have been led away by error, aud who now desire to return by the pathway plainly shewn by the light of reason? We think not. When Gen. Jackson was elected for the first time, did he or his organs inquire into the former standing of those who desired to be admitted into his political church? Or did they not welcome the returning prodigals with joy- put their best robes upon them, aud slay the fatted calf for their feast. ' We cqll upon our erring brethren to return to their flag and support the principles which they always intended to support, but which they unfortunately left when they believed the Defmagoguea and Swindlers of the last cam paign. Our latch string is hung out to the misguided pilgrim of the party and our altar has a vacant place for them to occupy in the hour of return. We U'll our Democratic, frimids everywhere to arouse, and arm themselves for the fight. Put down your iutestiue feuds. Away with this quarrel between the two houses of the Montagues and Capulete. Put Van Buren ism and Calhounism on the shelf, and pipe the whole crew to quarters to save the ship. Richmond Enquirer. That's the word ! Wo say, pipe aH hands for the local elections. If we must differ, let it be on points where'there is a real differ-cn-ce. Like a quarrel between man and wife, when it is over, all things will go on harmoni ously. Let us, then, arm for the fight which is at hand, and afterwards quarrel again, and join ranks a second tirn.c to defeat tfte com mon enemy. All hands on deck ! From the N. Y. Morning Pott. Individual Liability. Some of the good peoplo of Ohio seem to think that they will have no paper money manufactories in their State, unices the principle of individual liability be struck out of their general banking law. They need not be under the least ap prehension on this score. The business of making money out of paper, is too profitable to be given up for such a reason as this. All the bankers in Great Britain and Ireland, are subject to the individual liability principle, with the exception of the partners in rive cor poiations, and yet the business of paper mo ney making flourishes in those countries to an extent bnparalelled except in these United States. ; On this subject the people of Ohio and even those of New York, might profit by at tending to the remarks of McCulloch of Edin burg. -. " " The English banking system is bad enough certainly, hut it is as superior to the American as can be imagined. A radical reform of the latter, or, if that cannot bo ef fected,. its entire suppression would be the greatest boon that con be conferred on the Union, 'and would be uo slight advanto-tre to every nation with which the Americans have any intercourse. The American banks are all joint stock 'associations ;. but, instead of the partner being liable, as in England for the w note a- mount , of the debts of the bank, they are in general liable only for the . amount of their shares, or foi some fixed multipla thereof. It . is needles; to dwell on the temptations held put to commit fraud by this system, which has not a single countervailing advantage to re commend it."' McCulfach'3 Com.

RIGHT OF HOARDING; SEARCH, &c .The National Intelligericergives us a sam pie ot the doctrine of visitation, as practically .; illustrated by an Ameiican ship-oi-war. . we present it to. the country for its meditation,) with the introductory remark of the National Intelligencer: " We commend the subjoined item of cur rent news to such of oar contemporaries as may be disposed, without much considera tion, to maintain that there exists no such thing as a usage, (call it a right, or practice, which you will) of visitaliou of merchant ships by armed ships of different nations our own amongst them upon the high seas. We conimeud it especially to the editor of the Globe, who has greedily swallowed . the hook baited for him by the Boston Courier, with a sneer at the National Intelligencer because of its daring to doubt the in fallibility of President Tyler and Mr Webster upou a question of maritime usage, and in re gard to which no law can be produced but the obiter diction of a judicial tribunal. "A letter written from the United States ship Vincennes states that, on the 20th Feb ruary, off the river Guatna, a suspicious ves sel was discovered, to which tho Viucennes gave chase. On dealing Point Cuztas, the vessel was made out to be a taut rigged brig antine. At 2 o'clock the Vincennes came up ivith and boarded her. On taking posses sion, we (says the letter) found three Span ish custom-house officers on board, who claimed the vessel as under their colors. The captain was then ordered to produce his pa pers ; which, after a carefut examination, were found to be correct viz: a Spanish register, sea-letter, and an authentic list of her crew and armament. Lieut. Mitchell having sat isfied himself that the brigantine could not be seized, informed the captain that be waa free to pursue his course." Are :ho people of the United States willing that their merchant ships shall bo chased and run down shall be " boarded," " taken pos session of," their captains " ordered to pro duce their papers," and be detained until the captain of the foreign cruiser ('shall satisfy himself" that the vessels " could not bo seiz ed ;" and should only bs " free to pursue their course" when the foreigner informs them that they have his permission! If the right of visitation is thus to put our commerce ut the mercy of the great rival whose cruisers cover the ocean, is thero an American who will submit to it ? If not, the commander of the Vincennes should be called to a strict ac count for the outrage committed on the Span ish ship. NORTH-CAROLINIAN; . Win. II. Bnynei Editor and Proprietor Murphy V. Jones, of Pittsboro, N. C, has been appointed Collector of Customs for the Port of Wilmiugton, iu the place of Wm. C. Lord, removed, "Those who have tears to shed prepare to shed them now." Our neighbor, the "Chron icle," appears much grieved at the removal of Mr Lord, and lashes the Captain pretty se verely for it too. On perusing (a second time we suppose) the President's address to the people of the United Sttates, he has moid discovered, that President Tyler has violated his pledge, and from the following paragraph, taken from the address, has actually found him guilty of perjury. "I will lemove uo incumbent from office who has faithfully and honestly acquitted him self of the duties of his office, except in such cases where such officer has been guilty of active partisanship, or by secret means the less manly, and therefore the more objection able, has given his official influence to the purposes of party, thereby bringing tho pat ronage of the government in conflict with the freedom of elections." Our readers may perhaps ask why this dis covery had not been made and spoken of two years ago 1 for about that time, every officer connected with the Custom House, fromrthc Collector and Naval Officer dovfn to tho tide waiters, (with one exception) were removed from office, and those whom the President ne glected the Lord remembered ; was it because they did not " faithfully and honestly acquit themselves of the duties of their office? or did tbey by secret, or any other means, give their official influence to the purposes of patty?" We answer, oh no ! Tho President's ad dress was construed differently then, another version of it altogether ; remember these men were all democrats, and it was necessary that the whigs should be rewarded for their active exertions iu 1840, tho days of Tippecanoe and Tyler too, then it was that the whigs "congratulated themselves and their neigh bors, on its patriotic sentiments, its Catholic doctrines, its true whig principles'" and we have very little doubt, but that very sweep from the Custom House, brought forth the language, "this assures us in full that he is whig as true as steel." IVUminglon' sensccr. Mes- Pretty Sharp. The editor of the Madi soniau puts in the following rejoinder: "Kendall's Expositor inquires, "how can President Tyl-er do right with a Webst er, a Speiic-er and a Port-er to advise him? Their very name is err." Rather too many r's, Mr Kendall. But we will demonstrate the proposition. A Tyler is an excellent person to keep the roof of the edifice of state in sound condition, so that the elements shall not penetrate and damage the building. A Webster has sputva web of diplomacy which has caught the British Government in its meshes. A Spencer is calculated to be very popular wjith the ladies, nfter all the mothers and daughters are the mainstay of the1 re public. And a Porter is one on whose broad back the burdens of the people's govern ment may be . carried in safety. Are you answered ? " The Expositor seems not to have Kend all the beauties of philology, or the secrets of the Cabinet. ' - Trade of the West. The citizens of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, lately held a meet ing to concent measures for . the construction of $ railroad from that place to Cumberland, Md., to intersect the railroad now in opera lion between the latter place1 and Baltimore, with a view to give increased facilities for the western trade fo reach Baltimore by that route. - Saturday Morning April 22, 1843 MARKET. During the week a tolerably fair business has been done. Baco.i seems to keep on the rise ; a fair lot sold for 7". Flour is not plenty, and brings fully 5 and 5 J cash. Fresh butter is very scarce, and would command 25 cts. Domestic liquors command good prices. THE EARLIEST. Mr Robert Coch ran, of Fayetteville, presented us some days ago, with a fine sample of new Irish potatoes, radishes and lettuce ! the first of the season that we have seen or heard bf. They were all of good eatable growth. Mr C. will ac cept our thanks. We learn with regret by the last Standard, that Win. Foster, of Louisburg, and well kuown in this vicinity, was murdered by his own slaves, iu Georgia, on (he 5h inst., while on his way with them to settle in Ala bama. He has left an interesting family. THE "QUESTION OF VERACITY." It will be recollected that iu last week's Carolinian we called upon the editor of "the Observer (under penally of being held up as a reckless calumniator) to prove that Mr Vau Buren ever made (as the Observer charged he did) a "distinct asseition," that Congress has the Constitutional power to abolish slavery in tho District of Columbia. Iu his last Wednesday's paper the Observer seems fo think that he has triumphantly met the ques tion with overwhelming proof; and convicted us of ignorance of the a b c's of politics, by the following extracts : Washington, March 27, 1840. I have received your letter of the 2 1st inst. and can have no objection to say in reply, that the sentiments expresed in my letter to Junius Amis, and others, on the 6tli March, lS3G aud substantially repeated in niy inau gural address, are not only still entertained by me, but have been greatly strengthened, by subsequent experience and reflection. 1 am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, M. VAN BUREN. To Walter F. Leak, Esq., Chairman, &c. The following is an extract from the letter to Junius Amis, which he will find iu the same paper, viz : the North Carolinian of April 11, 1S40 : " As auxious as you can possibly be to ar rest all agitation upon this disturbing subject, i nave considered tne question you have pro pounded to me with a sincere desire to ar rive at the conclusion that the subject in re lation to the district of Columbia, can be safe ly placed on tho same ground on which it stauds in regard to the States, viz: the want of constitutional power in Congress to interfere iu the matter. I owe it, however, to candor, to say to you, that I have not been able to satisfy myself that the graut to Con gress, in the Constitution, of the power of " exclusive legislation in all cases whatso ever" over the Federal District, does not confer on (hat body the same authority over the subject that would otherwise have been possessed by the States of Maryland aud Vir ginia; or that Congress might not, iu virtue thereof, take such steps upou tho subject in this District as those Stales might themselves take within their own limits, and consistently with their right of sovereignty. " Thus viewing the matter, I would not, from the lights now before me, feel myself safe iu pronouncing that Congress does not possess the power of interfering with or abol ishing slavery in the District ol Columbia." In noticing the article from the Observer, we quoted (for we perceived he was at one of his old tricks) his own precise term "distinct asseition," because it was calculated (and probably intended) to impress upon the mind of the reader, that Mr Van Buren had expres sed "distinctly" and separately, and without qualification, and apart from every other con sideration, an opinion that Coigress had the Constitutional power to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia. Such was the impres sion sought to be made by the above; but what are the facts ? They are precisely what we knew them to be. After reading the above extract, please peruse the following, which follows immediately after the last word in the extract, as follows : "BUT, whilst such are my present im pressions upon the abstract question of the power in Congress impressions which I shall at all times be not only leady, but dis posed, to surrender upon conviction of error, do not hesitate to give it to you as my de liberate and well considered opinion, that there are other objections to the exercise of this poieer, against the wanes of the slave, holding States, AS IMPERATIVE IN THEIR NATURE and OBLIGATIONS, in regulating the conduct of public men, AS THE MO SI PALPABLE WANT OF CONSTITUTIONAL POWER WOULD BE." Would not an honest politician have done the justice to have copied this sentence also, intimately connected as it is with the former extract? Walker defines the word "distinct" to mean "different, opart, clear." Now, was the assertion " by Mr Van Buren "apart, clear?" No; because it was encum bered with a "but "-it was intimately and inseparably connected with insurmounta ble objections. We at once saw the game played by the Observer, and determined to expose it. To correct the false impressions which the Observer's article was calculated and intended to make, was our object in no ticing it. 1 :;"C;.::.:. ; ;' j. ..'. ',' ,,'., : : The opinion which the Observer quotes can avail his party nothing when followed by the last quoted declarations, and the solemn pledg es made by Mr -xVan Buren , to go into the Presidential chair the inflexible and uncom promising opponent of every attempt on the part of Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia.' V It is only by garbling separating the text from the context that whig capital can be made of it. With regard to the Observer's other asser tion, that Genl. Jackson's rule of action was to use the offices of the country to reward his friends, and punish his enemies, the Observ er only reiterated tho assertion, which we might, (according to the rule to " deny every thing and call for proof") reject; but we will content ourself with saying that the public can use its own discretion as regards believ ing it, reminding it at the same time that the U. States Telegraph, edited by Duff Green, (which the Observer gives as his authori ty for the assertion) from being the warmest supporter of Genl. Jackson, became the bil let est enemy ! Aud probably for the very reason that he would not use the offices to reward his friends and punish his enemies. ' CO- Duff Green of the Telegraph has ' fall en from his high estate" under the ban of the people, while 'Genl. Jackson has risen to, and remains at, the highest pinnacle of fame known to an American patriot aud Statesman ! CO- "The Citizen Soldier" is the title of a paper published in Philadelphia, by J. R. & A. II. Diller, and devoted exclusively to the promotion of military knowledge among the citizen soldiers of the United States. Having obs crved ibe high commendations it bas re ceived fiom the Press, we solicited an ex change, with which we have been favored; arH ve can say that it well deserves the cha racter it bears. All who take a pride iu the military, would be well pleased with it, and the knowledge to be derived from it will more than repay the price of the subscription, which is $2 if paid in advance, $3 otherwise. Being in that liue ourself at present, wc take pleasure iu its perusal, and therefore recom mend it to our "brethren iu arms." TROUBLE AHEAD THE TR EA TY, &c. The Council and House of Re presentatives of the Territory of Wisconsin, have passed joint resolutions, denouncing the late Webster and Ashbucton Treaty, as sur rendering a large tiat t of country, clearly within the limits of the United States as de fined by the treaty of 1733, and within the limits of Wisconsin, as established by the acts of Congress of 1S36 and 1S3S, without any equivalent whatever. We copy, entire, ibe two following impor tant resolutions: "Resolved, That the treaty of August 9th, 1842, so far as the same surrenders to tho British Government any tract of country to which they had not a title by the treaty of 17S3, and so far as it concedes to the IJiiti.-h Govertimeut the free and open use of postages and water communications, to the free and open use of which that Government was not entitled by the treaty of 1753, is a palpable violation of the established rights of the peo ple of the Territory of-Wisconsin, and of the people who shall form the fifth State iu the Northwest Territory, and, as such, the terri tory of Wisconsin, speaking through her re presentatives in the Legislative Assembly of the Territory, now here, makes her solemn protest against it, and declaies tbnt iu those respect the said tieaty is unjust, unauthorized, aud void, and is not obligatory upou the peo ple of the Territory of Wisconsin, and will not be respected or observed by the people of the future State of Wisconsin ; but that the said State of Wisconsin will, and of right may, exercise jurisdiction over all such terri tory, water communications, aud portages, as were within the jurisdiction of the United States under the treaty of 1783.. Resolved, That the Government of the U. States be requested, at the earliest opportuni ty, by negotiation with the British Govern ment or otherwise, to restore to the people of this Territory their boundary as defined by the treaty of 17S3, of which tho treaty of 1842 attempts unjustly to deprive them." It will be recollected REWARDS The New York Statesman says that the Hon. Silas Wright openly avow ed voting against Henry A. Wise as Minis ter to France, on account of his participation ia the murder of Cilley, by Graves. The same paper says .. ; " - - - v'i":C,'''' This is the beginniug of the. end, and time will yet come when the actors in that tragedy, will receive their just reward.3' Good ! where is II. Clay? Is he to be re warded with the Presidency ? - ' There is an amusing hit at Millerism on the 4th page. There are many " Chicken Littles " ' in the world,' and enough of " Fox Loses" always ready to take advantage of their credulity. We perceive that some writer in the Salis bury Watchman is feeding Gen. Edney with soft corn, with the intention, we suppose, of wheedling him into a withdrawal from the field. We shall see if he takes the bait. GEN. SCOTT. What has become of Gen. Scott? His name has been taken down from the "forlorn hope" Vice Presidency nominations of all the Clay presses, and there is as little known of him or bis whereabouts, as of the wandering jew, or " the man in the claret colored coat." "Ken ye ought o' Captain Groe?" Burns. Ken ye oug'it o' W infield Suolt ? If he's ainang liis friends or not ? Is he 8uu!b or is be north ? Or wi' the Clay clubs waxin' wroth? Where'er lie be the Lord he near him ! As lor Uio whigs they daur na steer him ! Tantalus was suug of by the ancient poets as a person who was surrounded by riches, luxuries aud pleasures, yet could never be possessed of them. Although within his grasp, as it were, he never could clutch them. Like the Irishmau's flea, when he put his finger upon it, it w asn't there! Hence the tvord tantalize. Col. Richard M.

Reid, Esq-, of Rockingham, was nominated as the Democratic candidate to represent the dig. trict in the next Congress; and a resolution was passed calling upon their fellow citizens in the other counties composing the district also to hold meetings and unite with them in the nomination. Mr Reid, (being in attend ance at Court as an Attorney,) was waited on by a committee ; but be declined accepting the nomination for the present, preferring that there should first be a more geueral expres sion of the wishes of the Democratic party in the district. : Mr Reid was a candidate for Congress two years ago, iu the district of which Guilford then composed a part. Hillsboro'' Recorder. SWART WOUT! that the whigs are upon all occasions throwing up Swaxtwont's defalcation to the democrats, and taunting them with the losses by " sub treasurers." Now will it be believed that this same Swartwout was such a good whig that he presided at and attended whig meet ings in New York, and that his name was recommended by a whig paper to the people for the Vice Presidency ? and further, that upou bis dismissal from the Custom House by Mr Van Buren, the whig merchants of New York City presented him with a service of plate ? ! ' In relation to all this we would ask, what was it for if Swartwout was a democrat ? John Bell of Tennessee, a rank whig, and Secretary of War under Genl. Harrison, in troduced into the House of Representatives, on the 1 1th February, 1839, a series of re solutions proposing to abolish the whole post office establishment ! and give " the business up to private competition ! What an idea for a whig lover of law and order. The Charleston papers announce the death (on the 14th inst.) of Gen.-. Edward H. Ed- wardsof that citv. ANIMAL MAGNETISM. Mr Uriah Clark, of Cauandaigua, New York, gives an account iu the Albany Argus of certain ex periments made by him, proving wakiug clairvoyance, or iho susceptibility of seeing at the will of the operator, the subject being in the natural slate. From letters and certifi cates published, it appears that Mr Clark has satisfied Dr Collyer of the truth of his discov ery. We give a short account of bis experi ments as follows ; " Ou 6lh of Jauuarv I made the first experi ment with Mrs Bisbey, in presence of her husband aud another lady. She stood up by the side of me, aud, disregarding all forms I t.ild her I would present before her my broth er, aud then pointed to the ceiling. Her eyes became fixed and blood-shot, and in less than one iniuute s.he said she saw him. To test her assertion she gave a description as accurate as 1 could, although she had never secu him, neither had I ever mentioned his name to her. She even weut so far as lo mention that his fingers on the left haud were drawn up as though they had been burnt. This was the case when he was a child, aud his fingers are still bent considerably. At the time the above experiment was made, my brother was ucaily 4U0 miles off in Put nam county. It the tacts which I have derived trom ex periments with numerous individuals can speak, the whole may be explained under the head olMentalism, the powers of the mind. Betote the "Palmyra Phreno-Mesmeric Society" on Saturday evening, March 5lh, I presented before the above lady, her father, deceased 17 vear. She was seated: and in a moment she sprang up, extended her arms, aud exclaimed, "my father, father!" and then concealed her lace, in tears, iot lully satis- lied with this, some of ihe company proposed that 1 should call up a well kuowu genileraau n the place, whom neither she nor 1 had ever seen, and could form no idea of his person. I did so ; aud she described his persou ac curately failing only in speaking of his eyes and whiskers, which she said she was unable to see clearly. As tar as nor positive, unqualified affirmations weut, ihe description, as declared to by several gentlemen, was as true as any man could possibly give of a per son with whom he was lamiltar. Ihe next day the lady was walking along iu company with some others in the mam street ot Pal myra, and while a funeral procession was passing, she, of her own accord, pointed, out the real gentleman whom she had described, said she kuew it was the man ! Before several other individuals I have cal led up numerous objects, animals, persons, places, souuds, &c, while the persous were in their natural waking - state, aud tbeir ap pearance was such as to remove all possibility of deception. Thjs feature in Mesmerism becomes of deep interest when viewed as a clue to de- mouology, and the numerous extraordinary appearances of ghosts, &c, conjured up in the minds of the superstitious. It also ex plains the Indian necromaucy of tho East, the art of the magician, &c. &c. - The public's humble servant, . . URIAH CLARK. The whigs of this (Sth) Congressional dis trict, it appears, held a Convention in Wash ington ou the 6th inst., at which Edward Stanley, "that same old coon," was again nominated as their candidate for Congress; notwitstanding he has not perhaps located three mouths within the last three years in the district, has told them he does not want to represent them any longer, and now resides in parts unknown to most of them.
