"Txia'-Sast. and the West."5 In lookingWvor the page of tbeN. C. Journal tf E lu at-on, f tir vyor- im t with an article, under ;? s.l.ovi cnptimi. It i.- well written and contains a great deiil of truth'.' The writer alludes to the Taut of a . oli-.liiUii'ty .f f eeling on tlie part of North Caroiij.inii.- living hi the Eastern and Western sections of the State, and howd pretty conclusively that this division which exit among u, is a bane to our prosperity, retards ottr progress and builds Up Markets in Virginia and South Carolina, while ur own town-! and cities arc left to droop and die. uch is no doubt a true picture of the present po sition of our State. When will North Carolina learu that lesson of wisdom which is so important to he r welfare, to have an eye towards her own markets .' Y hen win nc learn mat uy granting her aid to Itail-Iioads and other works, which con vey her trade to other markets, hhe is only put ting the knife to her own throat ? Perhaps for a little while these works may appear to operate to her advantage ; hut us sure as the constant bleed- ing at both arms of the physical body will bring to it death, so surely will the bk-eding pore of the State, North and South, produce the slumbers of death to her own prosperity, and will, most pro bably make her entirely dependent Upon other novereip-ntics. nna terli.iis ne ieii. io imu and caprices, leav ing her only to act in the capaci ty of a hewer of Wood, and a drawer of Water. We cannot look on her present tendency towards this condition without misgivings as to what will be I Aher fate. JIow it saddens our heart to coniempiu. the dread 1 of - ereign State, from whose midst ascended the first shout for American liberty ami which at one time was the 4th in the Confederacy, that she will allow others to take away her treasure, tear off her crown, and lay her honor in the dust ! Surely this cannot be the fate of the land of our birth. It cannot bo that in fu ture, it shaii be said, that eur own dear mother, North Carolina, is left : "A pile of mouldering ruins!" Reader! citizens of our beloved State! Native born soils of her soil! (Jan you look on the picture here drawn of her downward career without shed ding for her the tear of sympathy and affection? Aye. is it not too true that she is going downward and downward without the hope of redemption! Liook at Raleigh, Salisbury, Wilmington.

The bible of the members of the human body strikingly -illustrates the sad effi-.ts of a want of unit v.-among the different snenibers, and clearly proves that without unity of feel i iur and unity of interest whether in the" human body or the body politic, there can be no prosperity: We might naturally look to the power and influence of the Pres-s to harmon ize and unite the discordant, members , of .. our .State; but we arc sorry to ee these powerful engines -for "good: or for evil, too often lending their a .1 to prejudice stil I more the people of the East and' the West against each other. While every one must see that, this iion-cotn-mnnity of feeling between the different members of our .State has kept one vein of her life blood constantly." flowing into Virginia, and another into .South Carolina. Our K i stem legislators are often more ready to vote for win ks of improveuient that will tend to injure the West, than for those calculated to benefit her; while our Western legislators arc too rc-adv to leud their aid to works that tend to impoverish the East. If our Western friends can bu Id a railroad that will in some degree oenelit themselves enable them to run their productions to the ports of South Caro lina and Virginia, you find them eager tc en gage in the enterprise; although at the same time they are we'd aware that there is. an abun dance i'd" vessels in our" Eastern ports rotting for the want of 'employment and that their Eastern neighbors will be compelled to send "North" -.fortho.se very articles which they are runniii"- off through the ports of other States. And if our Eastern friends can construct any work that will enable them the more easily to import Northern hay, flour, onions, cabbage, butter, &c, and which work will at the same tiuie prevent their Western neighbors from find ing a home market for these very articles of -a superior kind and that too of their own pro duction, you find t hem singing a jubilee over their so called triumph.

Mr Crittenden submitted a scries of resoln- . c ,t tious, declaring that in consideration ot the , finaiieial condition of the country and the .em i barrassments of the Treasury, at the rates of duty established by the tariff of March last, ought to be materially increased, and also fa voring the substitution of the system of home valuation on imported goods. The resolution lie over. The Senate resumed the cons deration of the Treasury Note Hill.

Based on the facts, that the therefore ought to provide means for th- ir pay Government was endeavoring to strike down nient, instead ot charging tne AUiuinisiratioii with extravagance. Mr Seward, of New York, attributed the recent revulsion to over importation, and the diversion ofeapitgl from its ordinary channels. He did not believe that the banks were to blame. Mr Davis of Mississippi, advocated the bill under consideration as a simple proposition to to borrow money to meet the wants of the Government ; and the Executive was responsi ble for the proper application of the money. Instead of a revenue tariff, he preferred a "free tariff" as far as practicable. Mr Dixon ( lv. I) spoke in favor of the pro - tection of American Industry as the best means of restoring co fadence, reviving trade, and re - plenishing the Ireasury. Mr Collamer ( t.) opposed the bill and IOOK occasion iw icinain. iul .t.. ... w.c ling ot me quo- i reasui y sysiciu, nuu ui nam money currency, when the pressure came, the whole bottom was knocked out, and applica tion then made for the issue of irredeemable paper.

At 4 o'clock P. M., an unsuccessful motion to adiourn was made; the majority seeming determined to puss the bill before the adjourn- meut. Mr Trumbull, of Illinois, proceeded to show the extravagance of this, as well as of the pre ceeding administration, saying it now wants lo spend seventy millions of dollars within six months. No necessity for raising twenty mil lions has been shown. Mr Pugh, of Ohio, opposed the bill, regard ing it as a strange proposition to come from the Democratic side, to issue twenty millions of dollars worth of shinpiasters. He was how ever willing to vole for it, if the amount could be reduced so as to provide only for the rais ing of so much money as was immediately wan ted He wished lo prevent the circulation of these note; s bank notes The bill wan amended by limiting tin- opera tion of the act till the first January, 1859; and by prohibiting the noles to be of a less denomi nation thai-, one hundred dollars.
