THE WORTH CAMOJLIjNIAN OYER AND TERMINER. THE PEOPLE THE 'UNIVERSAL WHIG PARTY," alia " That same Old Coon.'1 This suit wns instituted iu 1S41, for in demnity for losses sustained by violation of contract on Ihe part of the defendants, and for the recovery of certain rights and immuni ties', obtained by them, under falses pretence in 1840. The prisoner was brought into court under a writ of Habeas Corpus. His physi cs! appearance was haggard and amaciated in the extreme. His eyes rolled wildly, aud the genera! contour of his countenance exhibi ted a guilt which no affected innocence could conceal, a restive spirit and a dogged despair which n assumed non chaance could effect ually suppress. His habiliments hung loose ly, and in tattering fragments about his per son. His hat was somewhat antique in its style; very much like those, worn iu the days of the elder Adams; the "(slack cockade" was slili conspicuous. His linen was originally red flannel, but now it was considerably soil ed. His coal was of "many colors," with a strong perpoudcrance of red ; and of a cut so very peculiar, that it could be wwu either end up, or either side out. His " inexpiessibles" were also " indesci ibab'es,"' though by the pi ism of scrutiny, they might be divided into as tr.aiiv elements at least, as I arson niiller di'-ides his bens!. He was barefoot, and his pedal extremities weie considerably lacerated by the (hums he has been travelling on fur the last three year. A jury f twentz-six was empannelled, when the piisoner was thus addressed by the (.'.'i' t : "You Old Coon: You are arraigned be fore ilia highest tribunal of your countiy, . barged with the commission of some of ihe iriot flagrant uji'iu-cs under the cognisance f human law.

Here the evidence for the prosecution closed. Several witnesses were introduced by the defendant, but their testimony was overruled bv the Court, as they were known to have been parliceps criminis iu the transaction. The case was bi it-fly summed up by the States' Attorney, when Jnhu M. Botts, Esq., made an elaborate argument for the defence. He confessed thai the crime had been prpefra;ed, but contended lint an alibi could easily be proved; or, if this plea should not be received much as to make it up in the long run.

No matter what motive urges such unhallowed attempts, or what object they have iu view, such con duct is condemned by every principle of fair arid honorable dealinir, and derogatory to every piofession of State pi ide. Such are the atti nipts to degrade this county, by publishing to the wo! Id such statements as to induce the citizens of other States to believe that the people are seioi-ba: barous and ignorant them selves, and opt, sed to the diffusion of knowl edge and education. Such conduct, though u.ipaidouable, we might expect to see iu the columns of ihe North Slate W hig, and Whi Claiion, whose editors deal habitually iu such vulgar wit and niireprfcentaliou aud not bciiig natives, are supposed n"t lo entertain much partiality for North Carolina. But 'lis jiaiticulaily mollifying that such a paper as Ihe Raleigh Register, which claims to be a standard paper, and conducted on high and decent grounds, and whose Editor Deinji a native N orth Carolinian piofessesso much State pride, should give cuneucy lo such dis graceful chaiges. Ii" they were tine, we should suppose he would blush to expose our deformities to the public gaze; 'would rather seek to palliate and conceal them; yet faith less to his profession of State pride, and still more faithless to his motto, "-uuwarp d by party rage to live like brothers," he too has discharged at the fur fame of Edgecomb, the poisoned arrows of party malice, because she nobly sustained the principles sh has always been attached lo, by defeating the election of the favorite Whig candidate, Edward Stati ley. We have every reaon to believe that the census in this State was very imperfectly ta ken iu many counties. The duty was badly performed in (his county particularly. The census of many other counties bear palpable errors ou its very face. The number repotted iu Edgecomb who can't read aud write, we believo to be excessively large, and incor rectly reported ; aud we charge soon the fact, that the very moment the census was pub lished, many respectable citizens dei lared that the Marshal put no such interrogatories as to the ability of persons to read aud wtite, and consequently must have guessed al most of his returns under that head. NATIONAL BANK Mr Benton, in a letter to some persons in Missouri, says: " One might suppose that, after Ihe great bat.k had been repudiated by its greatest champion as au ' obsolete idea " after its explosion had shown it to be "n whited se pulchre filled with dead moil's bones aud with coriupliou" after the equalization of ex changes shows it was not necessary to their regulation after the introduction of more than one hundred millions of gold and silver shows that it was not wanted as a manufac tory of paper currency after the reduction of. interest lo four or five, percent, per annum in the cities where the people paid one and a half per cent, per month while the great bank and her blanches s-tood among thern after all this and so many condemnations of Ihe in stitution at ihe elections, it might have been expected that the question was at rest, and the country relieved from its agitation. But not so ihe fact. 'I he ghost of the monster still stalks upon the laud. The old federalists of the llamiltoiiiau school, now, as forty years ago, still-follow it as the leading star of "their polic;'; and many good citizens (in other respects good democrats) who were misled into a supposed necessity for it in the times of suspended banks, depreciated paper money, deranged exchanges, aud no gold or silver, have not yet recovered from the delusive idea theu taken up.

The Queen's jotir uey to France has excited no little interest ou both sides of the channel. Sooie of the Pari-i papers look upon it with any thing but satisfaction. This is the first occasion, for circumstances.

Speak ing of the Queen's speech, he said it was not Ihe expression of royal, but f miuisierial authority. He still urged peaceable, but strenuous exertions.
