From the Gjltltfioro' llepnUicmn. MR ASHE AT KENANSVILLE. We were present at Duplin Superior court on Tuesday of last week, and had the pleasure of hearing Hon. Wm S. Ashe render an account of his stewardship as a. member of the late Congress, to hi con stituents of Duplin county. At the com. mencement of his remark?, he expressed himself desirous of being a candidate for re-election ; but this announcement wa made subject to the will of the people, ascertained through a convention or other wise as might be deemed expedient. He made the announcement thus early be cause private business would demand his attention out of the State during the months of June and July. Mr Ashe reviewed briefly his course in the last Congress. He had opposed the series of measures commonly known as the compromise acts. In the late war with Mexico, a vast extent of territory had been acquired ; he had been unwilling tt see his constituents deprived of all possi ble chance of participating in the benefits of such acquisition. At the session of Congiess preceding the last, an effort to secure to the acquisition territorial or ganization had been deleated by eight Southern votes. No sooner was it known in California that Congress had refused to grant it a territorial Government, than its inhabitants proceeded to organize them selves into a State. He was unwilling that the mixed population of that State, should decide the controversy then pend ing between the North and the South. There was no evidence that California contained at that time the population re quired to entitled it to admission as a State, and the small number then there, had included within its limits a terri tory as great in extent as the old ori ginal thirteen States. Fur these reasons he had voted against the aotmssion ot Cali fornia as a Mute. He had also voted against the territorial Government for New Mexico. It had been formed by officers of the Army," who possessed no authority to do so, and. included within its limits a third of Texas. The proper boundary of Texas was a dis puted question, but the officers of the Armv then in New Mexico, had no right to assume to define it. To satisfy Texas, S 10,000,000 was oflered her, which he was compelled to take, lhus, his own constituents were made to contribute out of their own pockets, to pay for territory from which they were excluded. In this connection, Mr Ashe spoke of the Fugitive slave law, which he said was not properly one of the Compromise Acts the law as it stands having been oflered by Mr Mason of Virginia and not reported by the committee of thirteen. It but ex ecutes the Constitution, and he wished it to remain as a test of Northern sentiment. The responsibility was with the North ; it was for them to decide whether the Union should stand. The enormous exnenses -f the nresent - i i Administration were next touched upon. For three years under Tyler's Adminis tration the average expenditures of the Government had been Sl. 000,000 ; for three vears ol Polk's Administration, dur ing the war with Mexico, 41,000,000; and for three years of Whig Administra tion, the third being estimated and the appropriations already made, an average ot $42,000,000. The present debt of he country was 837.000,000. The old ques tion of the Bank. Sub Treasury, &c, were obsolete, but the friends of protec tion were still in Congress. It was their policy to make the debt as large as possi ble, so as to create a seeming necessity for an increase of the tariff'. The public lands had been appropriated, and no re venue could be expected from them, and. the estimated expenses of the Government for 1852, were 852,000,000. The Army ami Navv were too expensive. He was willing to vote for and sustain a tariff that would produce revenue sufficient to meet the wants of the Government, but he would not vote to protect Northern Manufactures at the expense of his constituents. Several other points were touched upon, which it is unnecessary for us to notice. So far as we could learn, the citizens of Duplin areenlirely satisfied with the course of their representative while in congress, and desire his re-election. We taw no one who thought it advisable or necessary to call a Convention. RiNfi i or (its. Cass.
