THE NORtW CAROILO CAN From the N. C Standard. NORTH CAROLINA REGULATION. Mr Holdeo : Sir : My friend, Colonel Pe- tor Ferce-of Washington, whose labors in the histoi ical researches of our country de serve the praise of every Atnei ican, has leon kind enouch to loan me some old pamphlets. Arhona them I find twelve containing ' An impartial account of the Rise and Progress j of the so much talked of Regulation in North Carolina" or a Fan for Fanning and a Touchstone to Tryon," printed at Boston in 1771. Knowing of ho way to make the contents of these papers better known than through the columns of your paper, I respectfully submit ihem to your perusal for that object. They bear upou them the genuine marks of autheii jicity, and shed a mass of light upou n sub ject hitherto obscured by the lapse of time, and are much calculated to elevate the char acter of our State, as being always opposed to oppression and tyranny in every shape and iorm. Very respectfully, your faithful servant, JNO. II. WHEELER. A FAN FOR FANNING, AND A TOUCHSTONE TO TR ON, CONTAINING i3n Impartial Account of the Rise and Pro gress of the so much talked of Regulation in North Carolina. No. 1 INTRODUCTION. It will be readilv granted, that the task f an Historian is a difficult one, and that because of its being almost impossible to ob tain good, and proper information ; uor dues this always arise from a design to deceive in them, who furnish materials fur History ; but from an aptness in men to inform us, not of the facts as they are in themselves, ana lui- mediately connected with their circumstances and causes, but of the impressions made up on their minds, by the effect of civil and po litical conduct. Hence it is, that one His. torian is called a Jacobite, and a Tory, and another a Whig, and a friend to his country, and an impartial writer; when such declara lions do not ascertain the real character of the writer, they serve only to iufoi m us of what side and opinion he is, whom we hear thus judging, and what are the feelings of his mind. But however difficult the task, the ad vantage of having even an imperfect history is so great as to be a sufficient counterpoise. and determine them, who have it in their nower to inform their Country as fully as they can. And this it is that hath prompted me to undertake to eive an account of what has been called the Regulation in Noith Car olina. 1 nave no fondness, with authors id gen eral, to preface the W oik, by telling the read cr. he has nothing to expect, that I am eu gaged in other avocations, &c. Because I think that an affront to Men's understand ings, and is, in other words, saying that the book is not worth reading. 1 iutend to do the subject all the justice I can, and leave all to judge of the merit of the work for them selves. I will also let tbo reader know my authori ty. . I have, in my hands, an account of the -affairs in Orange-County, in which place the Regulation has made the most noise. It was written by one, who speaks thus of himself, viz : The truth of the whole cannot be de nied ; but if it should be, this I am sure of, that I never can be convicted in myself, wil fully and knowingly, either of having con cealed a truth, or of setting forth an untruth. And likewise, that I have been so well ac quainted with the whole affair, that I think no man in the Province could give a better that is, a more authentic relation of the matter." It w often a question with readers who is the Author? For answer, in the present in stance, I can inform them, that the Author above quoted, was esteemed a good, sensible, and honest man in the place of his nativity One anecdote of his Life will give the reader an idea of the man. He is the Eldest Son of a reputable Farmer, who died suddenly possessed of a large lauded interest, and without leaving a Will. Which interest, by the Laws of the Proviuce in which he had lived, fell to the eldest son, our Author, who was, at the time of his Father's Death, in North Carolina, where he had, with much in dustry and care, made a good Settlement for himself mad family. Upon the death of the Father, the rest of the children sent for their elder .Brother to come and take possession of, and settle their Father's eflects. He came, and finding his Father had made no Will, said, " It could never have been the in tention of my Father, that I should have all his landed Estate, and my Brothers and Sis- tors none." Therefore, he sold the whole Estate, save a small Farm, or tract, of about 300 Acres, which his Brethren and Sisters desired him to' keep, and made due distribu tion of all the Monies arising from the sale of said Lands, to the great satisfaction of his Brethren and Sisters. This shows that he was a Just Man, and one that loved Virtue more than riches. . I am the more pleased with this part of our Author's character, as a similar couduct, in the character of the great Philosopher, Doctor Francis Hutchinson, Professor in the Univer sity of Glasgow, is much magnified, and pointed out as a remarkable and almost sin gular instance of disinterestedness. Having known something of our Author, it may be proper in the next place, as leading to our principal subject to say something of the settlement and inhabitants of North Ca rolina. Its name points out the Prince thai granted the Charter of the Province, who was Charles the Second, after his restoration to the down of Englaud. The grantees were the Earl of Clarendon, Duke of Albemarle, Lord Craven, Lord Bcrkely, Lord Anthony Ashley Cooper, Sir George Carteret, Sir William Colleton, and their Heirs. The patent or grant appears, to have been an ex- fium'e one; tor ine nrst government was a kind of sovereignty; but this kind of regency proving very troublesome, the proprietaries, all save one, sold the Lordship to the Crown, and it has ever since been a royal Govern ment. It was settled, as most new couutries are by those who would not live in their own place ; who sat down upon the sea coast, or places contiguous to navigable water. And such has been the fate of Newbern and othei places in. North Carolina, that for many years they were accounted an Asylum for all s-ich as fled from their creditors, and from the hand of justice, and such as would not live without working elsewhere. Men regardless of re ligion, and all moral obligation. Hence it was, that refugees from the Western govern ments, and from Connecticut found a safe retreat in North Carolina; particularly on the sea coast, and places adjacent. The settlement of the inland country has been very slow, till since the last war, when lami Iij frnm Virginia. Maryland, the lower gov ernment, Pennsylvania, Jersies, New York, &c, have moved down, five or six nunurea in a season ; by which Orange county was I I Inknrinnr populated ; ana oy gooa niuusminis ,uuu' men ; who knew tne vaiue or uieir prupeiiy better than to let it go to enrich Pettyfogging t i : Lawyers, extoitionate and griping puDiicaus or tax gatherers, ana sucn as uengiueu m building palaces at the expense of the honest farmer and tradesmen. The above picture may perhaps be supposed too strongly represented, the dark part set too much to view. And therefore drawu by the pen of bitterness. If such thought should oc cur to auy reader, I have only to ask of him, that he should suspend a judgment in the case, until ho has heard the whole matter, and if then he shall think the writer deserviug cen sure, he will please to remember that he who has seen and heard from the sunerers' own mouths, must have feelings different from him who reads only, and that with a persuasion that a bad story, however true, ought not to be told, especially when it affects public cha racters. 1 he writer has thought it proper to give this short geucral description of North Ca rolina, to prepare the mind of the reader, as well as to enable hmi to Iorm a right judg- meut ; as many things will occur in the course of the papers, that to a man of Massa chusetts will seem unaccountable. And per haps nothing more so, than that from the year 176j. the peoplo in ditlcrent parts ot Caro lina, appeared against, openly against the most flagrant breaches of all law, on the side of the civil officers, and were not able to ob lain auy he least relief ; and their complaints inumg at that time, show that the op pressions were ol older date, and mattes probable thot the .Era ot Carolina's misery commenced at that period, when the great Col. Fanning, and the magnanimous Gen. rryon, mistaking the designs ot nature, in their formation, by a maivellous metamorpho sis became politicians One hint I think necessary to givo the reader in this introduction, and that is, that Governor Tryon does not apiear to have acted in any part of his character which con cerned the regulations, under ministerial in fluence, save what might have been the effects of his own, and his tools' presentations to the King's ministers ; but rather appears to have been so great a fool, as to have been led by Fauuing, or that he and Fanning wiih the rest of the civil officers were leagued togeth er, knaves alike, to fleece the people that they might build palaces, &c. For Fanniiig, when he arrived in Carolina, seven or eight years ago, was poor ; he had before he left Carolina, the last summer, amassed a fortune, of near ten thousand pounds, sterling and all out of the people, as will appear by and How unfortunate is that Prince, who is sorely wounded through the side of base de signing wretches, who prostitute nil things sacred and; civil to deceive their King, and to get into places of important trust; and be cause they have spent much time in basely sycophantibiug to a noble Lord, and prosti tuting the honor and virtue of their family connections, and the King s good subjects are made their beasts of burden and of prey. How fortunate, on the other hand is that Pi ince, and happy the people, when he that governs is a wise and good man, and one who knows the bound ot the privilege, and limits of the ruler, s power. Should not they who are thus nappy, prize and love such an one, and in every instance avoid giving him pain, remembering bis anxiety and solicitude, for the prosperity ol subjects. 60h ANNIVERSARY of the Fayetteville Light Infantry Company will be celebrated on the 23d of August next. We understand that they have invited to join with them in celebrating this proud day of their existence, all who have ever been members of their Company, the Governor and Senators in Con grass, and the Representative from this Dis trict ; besides four Volunteer Companies from our sister Towns : The Greensboro' Guards, the Raleigh Guards, the Wilmington Volunteers, and Wilmington Riflemen. This displays a spirit which we delight to see animate the bosom of the citizen soldier. It shews that they are proud of the name- proud of their ancient origin proud of the day they are to celebrate, and in the fullness of their hearts would have their brethreu in arms to share their ioy and partake of their hospitality. THE CROPS. From neatly every por tion of the country, we have intelligence that there will be an abundant yield of the grain crops. ..There are some exceptions of course, but take the whole country into the estimate, and every thing bids fair for a plentiful sup ply of the ' staff of life,'' for the coming year. How grateful should we be for these gifts of Providence ! How sincerely should we offer up thanks that He has net chastised us with pestilence nor famine I lu the cotton growing States it is appre hended, indeed some say reduced to a certain ty, thai the cotton crop will signally fail, main ly owing to the lateness of the season of plant- Saturday Moruins, July 15, 1843 mg, and partly owing to the unpropitious weather since.

When it is understood that, at one time, every mau was a legislator that tne peoplo cf the different states and Districts met in mass to make laws to govern themselves, and that it was when the increase of population made these meetings inconveniently large for the transaction of public business, the powers of the whole were delegated to a few, who were to meet and make laws for the good of their constituents; and that when these pow ers were abused, the right again devolved on the people to legislate for themselves taking this view of the case, will any one say that the Westminster legislators have not wofully abused the powers with which tbey have been instructed ; and that the right of the English people to dissolve that body, and legislate for themselves,. is not established? If this be the case with regard to England, how is it with regard to Ireland, who has been shame' fully robbed of her rights as a natiou? That the English Parliament has made laws for the beuefit of a few, to the detriment of the great body of the people, is a fact that cannot be denied. If any body doubts it, let him look with me towards unhappy Irelaud, Scotland, and even England for the proofs. We have it Irom a rarhameutary report, that in Ireland three millions are annually exposed to dio from starvation ; " while the salary of a judge is sizujuuu a year," and while 1 00,000 year is wrung from these starving millions bv bnyonets and bullets, (as at Rathe or mac,) to support a rroiesiam oistiop, who, perhaps litres on the continent, while seven millions of Roman Catholics, (three millions of whom are annually exposed to die from starvation) are compelled to pay no less than five millions of dollars annually for the support of a Pro testant Church, whose members do not ex ceed 600,000 souls. Whilo this state of things exists, can any fjic'nd of liberty ques tion Irelaud s right to her owu Purliumeut ?

He says also that it is unusually sickly in Columbia. C5 We find in the last Washington (N. C.) Republican, an address from Mr Arring ton, (Mr Stauly's opponent,) to the people of the Sth Congressional District. It is really an able document, containing a great deal valuable political history ; aud altogether as tonishes us, tor Irom what the whig papers had said of Mr Arringtou, one would suppose that he had no sense at all. DC3 He will beat Stanly, aud that address will go fur to wards doing the work. $1,10 to $1,20 a yard." He does not inform his readers what be saw the Turkey carpeting sell for. . It would be a gratification to the people of North Carolina to know something of its value, for they were never able to see Turkey once " in the celebrated speech of the celebrated Charles Ogle, where all sorts of carpeting was charged, from the 'Royal Wilton " to the Brussels." I will refer to the Book, to the Tariff act it self, and oxtract that portion imposing duties on carpets : ' On Wilton carpets and carpeting, treble ingrain, Saxony and Aubessen carpets : and carpeting, a duty of 65 cents per square yard. On Brussels and 1 urkey carpets and carpet ing 55 cents per square yard. On all Veni- tian and ingrain caipefs and carpeting, 30 cents per square yard. On all other kinds of carpets and carpeting, of wool, hemp, flax or cotton, or parts of either or other materials not otherwise specified, a dutv of 30 per cent. ad valorem. Provided, that bed sides, and other portions of carpets and carpeting shall pay the rate of duty herein imposed on car pets and carpeting of similar character." The duties here imposed are specific and ad valorem. Specific on high priced carpets and ad valorem on the low priced carpets. In making out the Table of Comparisons I had the following table before me, viz : Value. Duty. Turkey and Brussels carpets, $8 55 cents. V ikon and saxony, 2 65 " Venetian and Ingrain, 1 50 30 " Cotton, hemp, or llax, 50 15 " I selected the highest and lowest. I would not disconnect the Turkey and Brussels for the simple reason that they were connected in the bill, and subject to the same duties. Why, I could not tell. For I was satisfied that the value of one might be S3 per yard, and the other only $2 per yard. Since the appearance of the " Fayetteville Observer,'' I have consulted some of our first merchants as it regards the price of Turkey carpetiug, an4 one is of the impression that the price of a prime article would be iu New York $8 per yard. Ihave also referr ed to a file of that paper for Mr Ogle's speech, as it would certaiuly contain a charge for the most extravagant carpeting, but even there I could find nothing so extiavagaut as Turkey cnrpitinir Hiey tcere too high priced for Mr Van but 1 tsnu trie following prices paid lor oil Of The U. .

Richard Rush talks very plainly a bout tnesnameiui neglect ot Congress in re gard to the Smithsonian bequest. It will be recollected that Mr Smithson, a wealthy Eng lishman, bequeathed to the United States a large sum (about $500,000) for the erection at Washington city of an Institution for the "increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." This money Mr Rush . obtained, he says more than five years ago from the Eng lish Court of Chancery, and delivered it to the United States ; and there it has laid the whole of that time, and not the first step has been taken to carry the design ol the generous donor into effect. Session alter session of Congress has passed away and nothing has been done. It will become a stain upon the American name, that our Congress eagerly accepted the money, and authorized aii agent to receive it, aud have kept it in their breeches pockets seven years.

If one ever folt disposed to dojbt the correct ness of this assertion, the " Fayetteville Ob server," in its reply to the article in your last paper over the signature of Justice," would dispel his doubts and fix it upon his mind as a truism. It is an easy matter to deceivo the people as to the amount of burdens imposed upon them by a Tariff act, from the fact of its be ing subtle and insiduous in its effects. It is c'iflicult to be detected in its action ; but it is no less taxation on the people, and this i what I intend to let the " Log Cabin man " know, and present it in such a shape that he can understand it. God forbid, that he could ever be induced to " swallow " that of 1S42, it is too nauseous a dose. The " fayetteville Observer" charges, that in my communication " the rankest falsehoods are asserted. For instance, the Tariff is said to lay a duly of only 55 cents a yard on Tur key aud Brussels carpets " worth $8 a yard, whilst cotton, hemp, or flax carpets, worth 50 cents a yard, are taxed 15 cents per yard; and then the poor man is appealed to to see how little the rich man is taxed in comparison with himself," says the Observer ; and again " 1 be falsehood consists in representing Turkey and Brussels carpets as worth $8 per yard." Here is a flat denial that neither Turkey uor Brussels carpetiug is worth $3 per yard, and to prove the fact Ac asserts that " a tow months ago, wo saw great quantities of Brussels carpeting sold in New Yoik at Buren terent descriptions, viz: Koyal Wilton $4,02 per vard !

I am much obliged to the Editor for rr-lerring :me to " Document Je. 224." What do I hud thcro ? That Mr Calhoun and Col. Johnson, in 1816, vot-d that the duties on all tunis ol carpi ting lor the rich and the poor should be 25 per cent, ad valorem. The Bditor fails to do tin-in justit-e; he says 'that by the larifl'of IrflG, which Mr Calhoun and Col. johnson voted for, Bruss- U an-1 Turkey carpels, the rich man's carpets, paid ouly 25 per cent" 25 per cent what ? ad valorem. Why could he not have added this, for it is all important? For it is a principle which all democrats contend for. and the only (air wav of l.iyinsr duties. That they may un derstand this, I give them the modus operandi under the act ol 1816 : " It is calculated on the nclt cost of the article at the place where imported (exclusive of packages, commissions, and all charge) with ibeudual addi tion established by law, of twenty per cent, on all merchandise imported froai places beyond the Cape of Good (lope, and of ten per cent, on at tides im ported Irom all oilier places." 1 lie next article is boots and shoes, and I can magine him exclaiming with Boinbasles Furioso "He who doth, these boots misplace, Shall meet Bombastcs. face to lace." I must ajrain quote from the Book : MJn men's boots and bootees of leather, wholly or partially manufactured, $1 25 per pair; men's sh-ifs and pumps who:ly or partially manufactured jo cenrs per pair; women's boots and bootees ot lea ther wholly or partially manufactured 50 cents er pair; women's shoes or slippers wholly or pa tial y manufactured, whether of leather, prunella, or other material except silk, 25 cents per pair." Here the rich man aud the poor man discover a very important fact, that they pay a specific duty ot SI 25 on a pair of boots or bootees of leather, cost what they may, $8 a pair or $2 50 a pair. But the f ayetlcville Observer " asks exultiiifflv " does not the poor man know this to be false, Irom the fact that it be were to find the leather he could not pel a pair of coarse boots made for $1 25 ? and yet he is told that boots which are sold to hi in for Si 50 have paid a tax of $1 25, having only SI 25 to pay for leather, making, profit of merchant, &c." This whole assertion is false, he is told that the boots which cost 82 50 are charged with a duty of $1 25, and the whole matter is explained by shew- in? the amount paid by the rich man on S.497 as only 816 93, which is not quite ten per cent adva lorein, and the amount paid by the poor man on $48 75 as $26 93 which is over 55 pur cent ad va lorem. I have never been in London or Paris and am but little acquainted in New York. My knowl edge is confined pretty much to the Sla'e of North Carolina; but I am inclined to believe that Lon don, Paris, and New York are very much like Fayetteville in one respect at least, that boots and shoes may be purchased for different prices, the lormcr at Irom $2 50 t $3, the latter from 50 cts. to $6 per pair, according to quality. 1 oeom 11 useless 10 6ay any thing as respects gloves, me amies are imposed the same way as on boots and shoes specific; no attention being paid to quality. 1 lie conclusion of the Editor's tirade is all fude " it is full of sound and fury, signifying noihins ." 1 ncre is a remedy lor Dold, unblushing imposi tions upon public credulity." It is bein? annlied. The people have not forgotten 1840 1841 will long be recollected bv the whirfsrerv.

An able and eloquent Oration delivered by John B. Black, Esq., after which another salute of 4 guns was tired.
