EXTREMES IN A GREAT CUT. ! Que would think that the coniiuued dence of a laree number of neotiln inikaMma .a ioi6o uuumerui ieo ue in ine Hame,i., omelhiug of an equality of conditiou as well aa character. In nature we And n strong; ten-4 dency to equalization aud equivalent. If tho air become too heated in oue pMace, cold rushes in fioin some wther quarter '-to reduce its temperature. The whole universe is kept "in place by propoi lion, counteraction of im pelling Torres, aud a nice-arrangement of ' checks and balances. We do not say that society is destitute of these controlling prin ciple, or that contrasts ruuy " not be one " of our incentives to action, t.o enterprise aud to hope. But the extremes are none the less re markable, and in nothing more do they appear than in the display of wealth and povertv which U continual! seen in the thoroughfare of tho metropolis. LeTus glance at a few- points connected with our subject. To make money is, with some people, the easiest thing in the world. With others it is almost impossible. The difference does not lie in iutellecluat ability, for the very stupidest of men are often most successful. Some persons succeed in whitever thpy uudeitake ; nd such is the prestige attached to their for ' in ne, that many peoplo seek an oppoitiinily ' of beco.uing interested in projects with them, 'merely because they feel an assuiam e of suc cess in the connection alone. Nuihiog can bo wider apart than the fa to of people of the same apparent character and Maud ing in the sime iiiy. We are t.dd in a Newark paper thai a boce wealthy aud emi 'neut shipbfcilfcttr of this city wa finally reduc Vd t. rh'uudiug shoes for the support of his fam 'dy. On the contrary, we know an eminent milder and oivuer of vessels in this city, iiviug . in great splendor, who laid brick us a com nun mason but a few years ago. There are men now in tho City Alms House -bo once were the pride of the mercantile World, and into whose noble mansions a train of worldly friends was ever entering to partake of a splendid hospitality. On the coutrary, we see tho noblest work of internal improvement lemaiuiug to be exe cuted in this country, recovered from ruin, at the last moment, by "the capital, skill afcd en ergy of a man who commeuced trading u few years ago in this city with a few dollars. We catiuot but be struck with theae extra ordinary contrasts between perons of the same class and charac er. W e ce no middle ground where these curiotH difference may be stopped aud reconciled, no place where the fnau growing poorer may arrest his downward career, and preserve a competence; none where the absorbing aud aggrandizing power of the capitalist shall cease, in order that others "may gather up a morsel for themselves. The wondrous changes whiVh wa see in such a town as this, are by no means the in variable consequences of personal misconduct or want of skill. - Many excellent families have long been in distress from mere politi cal causes. Tho spoliations of foreign na tions upon our commerce have ruined thou tociods, and there seems no possibility of re press. We know of one worthy individual totally ruiued by the loss of a vessel and caigo, in a Southern ueut-al port, which while under cover of the gonft of its fortifications, was ille- gaily eaf luieTl by an iMignsu ingate. l wo 'hundred thousand dollars were thus, at a blow, Maketi from an American merchant ; and 'though he coble, unque8tib'haH!y, cibtain in 'dermiiiy, if our government would interettl themselves in his behalf, ho is passing a'oug into old age, followed by relentless misfortune. No matter how valid bis claim, he has no longer the means to pursue it. This is by no 'means a switary case. .V Y True Sun. From the Raleigh Standard A FEW WORDS TO THE WHIGS. We quote the following from the New York Commercial Adveitiser, one f the most re spectable whig papo's in the Union : " Why should the whi. papers, or any pa pers, per sit in contending for principle which the majority of the people do not care to have sustained? W hy ahould they waste limo and labor in fruitless opposition to the will, or at best, the ludifierHUce of the people Above all, why should they struggle again abuses, in the consummation and triumph which they only get mockery and vituperation tor ineir paius i t ne very truiilessness ol their stuggles ernboldeu and trenulhen those who hao set up the oot'tiine, that th democracy is above Constitution and Law. Better wait until some great and startling deed of wrong is committed, by which 'h sense and spirit and judgment of the country 'may by loused, aud patriotic appeals to the "sober second thought of the people may have some hope of a successful iue.' What say the North Carolina whig to this 1 Will they ' persist in contending for princi ples, which the majority of the people do not care to have sustained ''I Whigs, you were 'Heriten in the late contest, fairly and honorably. our Vruggles for power hid beeu peculiarly unfortunate up to 1 844, and then it was (we any wiih all due 'respect) that a majority of 'the people decided agtiu'st you, and condemn ed your doctrines. But if you say, we were not fairly beaten, we answer, fairly or not, the Constitution has been satisfied a demo crat ic Tresidttuf holds fee reins; and no citi zen ought to look beyond that for the put pose of bringing shame and reproach upon the Government. Now what will you do ? The government is as much yours as oora. Our rights are the same, and our great interests ought to be the same. Why will you stand off from us and oppose the government? We do not ask you to sacrifice your principles we only ask you to acknowledge frankly that they have been condemned by a majority of the people, aud to shout, by your acts, that you think mote of the popular judgment and of your country than you do of party names and party associations. Ts this request unreasonable 1 You can go further than this. You caa give the President and democratic principles a fair trial, which is all they ask ; and you can act towards the democratic party as every honest democrat -vill condemn it when it does wrong and support it when it does right. We know this "talk will not suit whig editors and whig lead- ' ers. They are interested iu keeping the whig pa rfy 'together. They want offices and re Ward, nod they know they would not be aula ibrtn tn"oet ihin from the democrat. 4 ey ----- -- o-- -- , ,. . r , .Y. nnd unite 10 summit nl ih administration they look to the whigs, and they will continue the strug-.le for political ascendancy, fney rnaZ ;..,. where no fair issues cau be " s aaar.s ssvv ----- . made, aud they will find fault with any demo-I erotic adrninisiralioo not for good cause, but for their own personal advantage and aggran dizement. But with the whig people this is not so. They are not interested in tho suc cess of any "particular paity they want uo loaves and fishes of office, but are quite satis fied if the government is well srdiniuistered aud the country proprous. This is all they ask. To MJch, then, we speak, aud not to the whig leaders. THE TORY I'll The National Intelligencer and some of the Whi" Pi esses that follow in its wake and may be called its satellites, form the Tory Press of the present day. The Washingtdh Union thus tells the Iutelligetlcer sdhie truths which every man iu the country should know, iu oider that he mrfy be on his uard agaiust iis toryism : Tho 'Iuteirrgencer" has opposed the an nexation of Texas at evey stage, in every form, by cvety species of terguineut, and by every ort of sophism aiid of itifim'idaliou. It opiHised the treaty, 'it opposed all the res olutions of the Senate and of the Mouse of Representatives. It charged the act as cou irarv in ih i-nnsiiiiif iou. It charged it as a violation of the rights aud inteiests of Mexico. It threatened us w ith the vengeance of Mex ico, aud declared that it would involve us iu a war with that government. For one sin gle moment only in oue paragraph only, the "National lutelligencer" seemed to stand up to its duties. But, fiom that moment, it has been constantly backsliding, until it has contrived to place itself directly iu opposition to tho present cou.se of ho administration. It now stands oil foreign ground, in relation to 'he occupation of the territory between tho Nueces and the Rio del Notte. It would yield that whole country to Mexico. It would iiive her the vantage ground of possession, when we come to negotiate with her about the boundary of Mexico. Let us say, frankly, that, for several years, such has been the geii ci.il course of this whig -paper. Let the motives of our cotemporary be whatever ho pleases to represent them, hi couduct is disloyal; tends to encourage the aggressions of our enemies, and eVer'y -good ; citizen should contiibbte 'lb 'ebudemii it. Some ten years since, when Fiauve failed to discharge a: maturity the instalment which jho owed us. our ready cotemporary fiercely condemned the fi mtiess of Pi esident Jackson, who insisted on the payment who wanted nothing that was wrong and who ouly asser- ted tho law, tho luslice, and me conscience oi our cla'iio. The 11 oa till" walls and wailiku arms of "Eui'laud have'feticed iu ihe largtst noiiiou of ih lMube. Yet. to the eye ol I - "7 boundless ainbitlou, ttie ocean appears no wnler tbau a rivulet. A few yeais since, when that potent natiou craved a right of way i . i over our eastern sou 10 ner uauiuwu jii"- vinres, she was warmly supported by her faithful editor who, we dare believe, toould have givcu his support toauy application she chose to -prefer. She got what she wauled, and ouHt to be cbnteiit. But sihe is now seeking 'to exercise doihinion over Oregon, aud to'check our progress on the Pacific: aud lhi constant champion Ihe lntelliguucer suppoits her cause. Mexico insults us, as sails the union of our destinies with a conti guous republic, whose iudepeudense was achieved by the valor of her sens, aud fully acknowledged by the powers of the eaith. Nay, daring Mexico has threatened to march her hostile troop 'upon the very soil where the eagle of this Union has perched on Kigh. Aud all this foreign injustice is tolerated by the editor, who has no motive but the public 04k1 to diict his heart and control his ou- dertandiu"! Instead of defending the rights aud spirit of the nation, this editor applauds our enemies, and derides our cause.'' W'e said above, some of the whig press on ly follow in the Inlelliyciicer's wake! ISot all, for the New6ilean Tropic, a whig paper lakes the side of 'its owu government. Some of the whig press, not bdld enough to take sides with the lutelligencer, stand aloof and Kay but little, while others go side and side with it ! among the last named, we are "sorry ... . to see the Fayetteville Observer.

But the system, as it is loncd to Operate, hot ouly protects the manu- factbrers'hveribe farmers, but it does not op erate equally e'veti'iu'tho class which it favors. It enables ihe capitalist to clear enormous profits, aud receive heaVy dividends ; but it does liiil in Ihe shihe proporriou benefit the labor which'is devoted the business.

Oh fhOfibu Of Mr Fleesen, it was ordered that a committee, 'tc Vonsist of three ladies aud three geittleme'h from each ward iu the wo cities, be appointed to solicit fuuds to support the operatives :i the tland-ont. " A resolution was then adopted, calling "or a rr ass'proc'essiou of the operatives and their 'friends in the two cities, on Friday tiext. at 9 o'clock, a. nr., to form in the Diamond, Alleghany city. Thus it will be seen that the wok has been commenced in earnest ; and we cannot doubt the result. The ten-hour sistem must luceetlP' NoTEi taken for GOons S'u.d. Alany rnerrhanl.- iu New York aud eUuwhe e, have adopted he jmictict of taking notes for good- sold, 'payabl: lo th order of the drawer, and eudoixed by him iu blank. The advantage of this practice are .uppoed to be mauifwld, as compaied with the ordinaiy method of tak- j iuj; notes payable to the order ol the seller. They may be enumerated as follows : . The holders ol note may either endorse them and procure tht discount of them iu bank, or they may pas them off without their 'endorsement, at an additional discount ou the i titer e.t iu the uatuie of a guarantee commis sion. it. A 'prudent meichaut often avoids further sales totparlies deemed very good, because he has il ready a uiu. h f their paper, as he ihiuks it prudent to take the risk of; ifh had tho option of disposing of the paper, without his endorsement, he would thus frequently e cure n desirable sal3. 3.

It will eventually put an end to the in convenient, unbusinesslike and dangerous practice of renewing business paper. Those who issue notes must make tbeir calculations to pay them at maturity ; the parties to whom they will bave been given will no longer have any interest in them, and upon the person holding them the maker will have oo claim for indulgence. . -These, remarks are mide public that the business community may give ihe subject the consideration fhaVlt Vevfhs'to rnerTt. CAo7. ton Ooutxtr. Th Western Boundary upTr..: lfie fact which is stated in the letter of 'oui correspondent from New York had pievioualy reached us from another quarter. W have ub question that we shall be able to authenti cate it beyond dispute. If Great Britain re cognised the independence of Texas, with the Rio Grande distinctly specified at the time of recognition, what becomes of the re mark of the National lutelligencer, in reply to the argument which we have urged? What becomes of the remark, that forcigu slates did not know, aud did not recognise, her bounda ry? We stated, that in 1S36 Texas declared in her organic law, the Rio Grande to bo her western boundary. We stated fhat mis was the lexas which wa sancfibiied by foreign states, wtien they recognised ber independ ence. We stated that ihe other giounds ou which we rested (he western boundary were amply seffi ;ieht lo maintain if; but that fhe recognition of Teas, with 'her western boun dary thus defined, showed that other nations admitted the Texas so proclaimed by herself, upon the best foundation, as the Texas recog uis'ed by them. '1 he Untied States had al ways proclaimed that river to $0 the western boundary; aud 'how it appears that Great Bri tain recognised her With the same titer expli citly ldiddowti as the b'ouudary of her tettitory. In fact, he "had 'pro'claWec! it iu her organic lav, previous to her recognition by any of the powers of the eaith- Union. Cotton Blankets.
