Lincoln Circuit, S. C. Con.
P. S. Mr. Editor; In presence. of
you and your readers, 1 now tip my bea
ver with my left, extend my right, and
make my best bow to your new correspon
dent Eccleia. Happy to see you have
weathered the storm so well, arrived so
soon, and all in such fine trim. Some
what disappointed, it is true, at the non
arrival of your compeer Philn-alethes who
had put to sea some days before you, and
appeared off our bar, of whose mysterious
fate, however, we have learned nothing
since. As soon as the usual civilities are
gotten through with, and you draw your
over-coat and appear in your true charac
ter by complying with the following terms,
we will proceed to a further acquaintance.
1. - You must write under your proper
signature. v
2. Inform me how many fictitious sig
natures you have used in this controversy,
what they are, and if all the pieces under
such signature are attributable to you, and
if not, which! And to 11 out the catego
ry, 3. Give assurance that in default of ar
gument you will not descend to personal
invective. As soon as these are complied
with, we will proceed to try the strength
of your old Roman would-be Americaniz
ed gag, which you have attempted to hook
in our jaw, respecting testimony. Mean
while, we would say to you, as you appear
to be a new-comer in these diggins, that it
was very unnecessary for you to get out of
sorts, and stretch your throat and sing out
at the top of your voice before you fairly
readied our wharves and call us a dogma
tist; for sir, you must know that we are
not anchored here around the tombs of our
ancestors, to be cut from our moorings by
the old broken-pointed rusty blade of suc
cession, without an assertion of our rights.
We have the honor to be, as would seem
in your estimation, your very unread ser
vant. J. B. ANTHONY.

Beauties of the Richmond Whig 1
Retributive Jutiicc on the Whig Parly !
The Republican Flag flying in 1840, and
in 1841.
The Senior Editor of the Richmond
Whig, it seems, is about to establish a new
Whig paper at Washington, to be called
"The Independent" in connection with
Edward W. Johnson and John Woodson,
Esqs. He has taken leave of the 44 Pa
trons of the Richmond Whig" in a valedic
tory, which he addressed to them on the
9th ins!. It seems, it was impossible for
him to retire, without casting a Parthian
arrow at Captain Tyler. We say it with
truth, but with some regret, that we have
rarely seen a more harsh and illiberal at
tack upon a public man. Let the reader
judge for himself!
1 knew Mr. Tyler well, personally, and
had known him long, & I could not believe,
that a man so common-place, so absolutely
inferior to many fifteen shilling lawyers,
with whom you may meet at every County
Court in Virginia, would seriously aspire
to the first 6tation among mankind, for
such the Presidency of the United Slates
certainly is. I was well acquainted with
his vanity and love of place, but I never
imagined that his understanding was so
perfectly unequal to bear with moderation
the LUCK whicli he had met with, or that
his judgment could he flattered into the
notion, that he deserved per se, and from
the direct voice of the American People, a
prolongation of that high destiny which
had been cast upon him, by a similar ca
price of fortune with that which introduced
Tittlebat Titmouse into the seat of the re
fined Aubreys. How egregioiisly I was
mistaken, and how much I miscalculated
the element of Captain Tyler's vanity. I
need not here recite, for the facts are fa
miliar to all men. The result is, what
was foreseen by more sagacious whigs
than I. Mr. Tyler has set up for himself,
and although he boasted in 1839, of being
the first promulgator of the one term prin
ciple, now thinks that his own superior
abilities, merits, services, good faith and
fidelity to professions, and gratitude to
those who, from a half stnrved lawyer,
made him President of the U. S., entitle
him to the benefit of an exception to his
own rule. He has arrested the course of
that Reform in the Government which the
American People commanded, and which
General Harrison steadily prosecuted while
he lived. He has dune his u most to dis
solve the wlvg party, in ihe ridiculous ex
pectation of creating a Tyler party out
of its ruins.
'Such is the state of things. Our glo
rious whig triumph has turned out an emp
ty victory, owing to the culpable vanity of
one man, ana the yet more culpable de
':'ins of a self-constituted cabal, who by
flattery; have acquired dominion over his
will.",
It is not our purpose to criticise these
passages at any length. " But they give us
a poor presentiment of the spirit in which
"The Independent" is to be conducted,
friiat confidence can bo placed in the judg
ment or iu the impartiality of any man,
who rates Mr. Tyler so low, that has been
elected to boili Houses of Congress, been
the Governor of Virginia, and the Vice
President of the United States? Or what
can be thought of the judgment of an Edit
or, who charges Mr. Tyler with dissolving
the whig party, and with arresting the
promised r'forms, when he has signed ev
ery bill which has been passed by a whig
Congress, except the two bills for estab
lishing a National Bank, which his critic
agrees with him in believing to beconitary
to the Federal Constitu inl Is the world
to understand, that the Editor f ""The In
dependent' is to commence his Independ
ent career by laying his own constitutional
scruples ou the altar of his parly? Has
he become the proselyte to a .National
Bank, in his devotion to Mr. Clay?
As to the "glorious . whig triumph"
which Mr. Tyier has turned into an emp
ty victory,' it is rather loo late in the day
to boas', of its glory. A more shameless
triumph was neer obtained over a free
people, more unworthy means never were
employed to put down the predominant
party and many au honest whig is now
confessing the fact. He deserve the re
verses which we have met with said a
whig the other day,) because we did not
show our principles." Yes they did
not 6how them but sought to cheat the
People by humbugs of all sorts. They
did sueceed in electing their ticket last Fall
-but the Democrats were determined not
to be put down by such means. They
determined to rally at once. They trusted
to the awakening sense of the People &
they predicted, that the whig party must
dissolve in its own weakness, and from its
Own dissensions. Even ha J Mr. Tyler
sacrificed his principles to their wishes, &
signed their Bank bill, the whole whig
parly must ultimately have fallen to pieces.
There can be no mistake upon the matter.
A party who was made up of such discor
dant materials, who refused to declare their
principles before they goi into power; who
declared, as their own Convention did in
this City, that their candidate was opposed
to a Bauk of the United States, and yei
were no sooner in office, than they pressed
a Bank, and now denounce Mr. Tyler for
breaking them all up, because he could not
sign a Bank bill a party, who won their
way into power by such outrageous expe
dients and so grossly abused the power
which tkey obtained could not long re
tain it, or remain together.
These views are not new to us. Searce
wa9 the Election over, before the course
which the Democratic Party ought to pur
sue, and the fate which would await the
whigs, were laid down by various presses
Among them, by this paper, in the fol
lowing terms, in the several articles which
we penned in November last.
"To the Republicans of Virginian. !
"Gallant Comrades ! we are defeated in
the Union, but we have saved the Citadel.
Let us never strike the flag never give up
the ship.
"We have a plain track before us.-
Raise the standard, and adhere to our prin
ciples. Let us judge the next Administra
tion with all fairness, (as the Evening
Post says.) but if they do any thing good,
we shall be most agreeably disappointed.
From such a clique, we expect nothing
but evil. We fear it is the Upas tree,
which on'y distils poison from its trunk.
Let us then not disband not disarm but
keep ourselves prepared to resist their de
signs their Bank, their Tariff and to de
fend the principles of 'U8. This is the
true position. In the mean time, as the
Election for the House of Representatives
is coming on in the Spring. As the Presi
dent and the Senate will be against us, on
the Bank and othei questions, M us try
and save the House of Representatives, in
order that it may save us. We advise our
friends, therefore, in all the Congressional
Districts, to organize themselves forthwith.
to nominate their strongest men and ad
dress to all the candidates who woo their
support, questions like these :
"1. Are you in favor of a Bank of the
U. S. in any shape whatsoever ?
2. Are you in favor of a Protective Tariff
in any form whatsoever ?
3. Are you in favor of a National system
nf Internal Improvements in any form
whatsoever ?
"So also, about tha assumption of the
Stale Debts so. also, about receiving Abo
lition petitions i:i any form whatever so,
also, about supporting meu w ho support
such measures, &c."
What Republican despairs of the Re
public ? Not a man 'of .them not a sin
gle Press, which has reached us since the
great victory was announced. The fact is,
we have never known a Party, more un
expectedly beaten And we have never
known a party so buoyant ant! determined
under defeat. Every Republican Press is
animated by the spirit of the Backwoods
man, whose gun snapped. They are re
solved to pick the flint and try a
gain. "Falter ! bow before such an opposition!
Never never. We may he beaten, but
we will not stay beaten. The victory is
surprising, but not overwhelming We are
defeated, but not discouraged. That the
American People should have preferred an
incapacitated old man, who has refused
boldly to avow his. sentiments on great
public questions, or has implied'them in
couiradictory fjrrus for party effect to dif
ferent sections of "the Union; that they
should have preferred him to a Chief Ma
gistrate, who stand. furth openly and
boldly to his countrymen, discarding all
considerations, except 'the good of the
country, is indeed a phenomenon, that oc
casions no little regret. But the People
will ultimately recover from the delusion
into which they have fallen. It will ra
pidly vanish. Among the various causes
of litis hallucination, is the embarrassment
into which the country has been thrown
by overbanking and overdealing. This has
been artfully ascribed to the Administra
lion and- the slang of "Change, Change,"
has been"rung in their ears. This delu
sion has breu kept up by the clamors and
powerful banking influence of the country
and all the complicated, various and
narrow interests which ihe Banking sys
tem involves. The friends of the National
Bank, of a Protective Tariff, &c-.fcc, &c.
the fell band of Abolitionists the pro
fuse use of gold the corruption of the
franchise by pipe-layers and yarn-spinners
aided by the most shameless hi-mbugs,
by Tippecanoe Clubs spread over the
country, and other devices, have conspired
to. elect William Henry Harrison. But
the time of reaction must take place This
discordant combination of the odds and
ends of all parties cannot long continue.
Like the Image of Nebuchadnezzar, which
was made of clay and brass and various
materials, a single stone must shiver it to
piece.
"The Republicans have high duties to
perform- They have to save the nation
from a National Bank and Protective
Tariff, the fell Abolitionists, and other
dangers, with which we are threatened.
They must not disband. They must stand
to their arms. Virginia is called on by
the highest duties to act. She must be the
standard-bearer. She has stood op true to
her ancient principles and thousands of
noble sons of hers are going on their way,
rejoicing that her escutcheon has escaped
the stain of log cabin and hard cider influ
ence. We know little of our countrymen
every where, if ihe time does not speedily
arrive, when even a higher tribute will yet
be paid to her exemption from these
humbug mummeries and these Federal
heresies.
"We must stand by our arms. The
lime is coming when her great principles,
the rights f the whole South, the interests
of the whole Union, will call upon her to
pursue her own illustrious example of
98-'99, 1800. With a view of preparing
us all for this achievement, we shall begin
by laying before our readers in our next
paper, the Resolutions of '98, and Madison's-
Report of 99. Let us begin at
once begin right again and what better
can we do than to sound the bugle note of
the Democracy of '99 ?"

WHAT CONGRESS MUST DO.
The National Intelligencer, nt being
well satisfied with the doings of the people,
betakes itself to Congress to do something
more to its taste. Ii opens its columns
to-day with an account of what Congress
will four weeks hence undertake to ac
complish lor the benefit of the people; and
if the organ, that speaks for the majority
in advance, is to he believed, the resolution
is taken "to head" the people as well as
Captain Tyler. We are told that " the
first session of this Congress, though an
arduous one, and fruitful of valuable mea
sures," "refrained entirely from engaging
in the general business of legislation ! !"
So the National Bank, National Debt,
Distribution of National Domain, increase
of ihe Tariff, National Bankrupt law, &c.
&.C. were only small samples of ihe gene
ral legislation whicli is to follow, not gene
ral legislation itself. We had supposed
that the new Tax bill was really meant as
"general business," and so much in earnest
as to stand for one season, to see whether
it would provide sufficient revenue for
the wants of the Government. But now
we are told that it was a mere "expedient,"
(not to supply the wants of Government,
as was pretended in the proclamation con
vening the extra session, and the speeches
of the Whigs during the debate on the
Tax bill.) but for "supplying obvious de
fects in the system, until it can undergo
that general revision which devolves upon
Congress at the ensuing session."
So the Extra Session was simply called
to remedy "obvious defects" in the com
promise art, which, although the country
had got on with it very well for nearly
ten years, could not be endured for the
few months intervening between May and
December ! We give the whole passage
from the National Intelligencer touching
this new movement in regard to the tariff.
that the public may see . the drift of
"There is one object, however, cannot
be avoided, nh ch must be acled upon, and
which may of itself be expected to occupy
a great deal of time, because of the many
interests which it affects, and the infinity
of t!e:ai's connected with it. We refer, of
course, to the revision and permanent ad
justment of the system of duties upon im
ports. The amendatory revenue act, pas
sed at the last session, was only an expe
dient for supplying obvious defects in ihe
system until it can undergo that general
revision which devolves upon Congress at
the ensuing session. In June next, the
duties established under the act of 1833
reach their lowest point; a point too low
to leave a sufficient revenue, as in contem
plation of that act, for defraying the ordi
nary expenses of the Government. ' A thor
ough revision of the whole tariff system
will become necessary; and the intelligence
of the Representatives of the people, as
well as their ability to postpone particular
interests for considerations of public nation
al wealw ill be put to the test.'.', -'..t
When it is considered that the Tax bill
of the extra session carried every, article,
except tea and coffee, up to the maximum
of ihe Compromise actr and that the Whig
majority pledged itself in au amendment to
the Distribution bill not to go beyond the
limitation of 20 per cent, ad valorem in the
compromise act, ihis new promulgation of
the intention to make "a thorough revision
of live tariff system," is a clear indication
that defeated Federalism has resolved to
evoke the laid demon of a protective tariff,
to agitaie ihe country again, and revive the
power which it once held in ihe Northern
portions of ihe Union under its influence.
From the late indications at Boston, and
other sections under the manufacturing
interest, we have no doubt that the givings
oui of the Intelligencer are but notes of pre
paration to an attack on the principles of
the Compromise act. Desperate cases re
quire desperate remedies.

BANK SUSPENSIONS.
How long will ihe people of the United
Stales stand, mere spectators, of the infa
mous proceedings of many of the Banks
of the country ? YVe allude particularly to
the fact of their declaring dividends to the
sloekhoIJers, while actually and bona fide
in a state of suspension; or, more propeily
speaking, have closed iheir doors and re
fused to pay their debts.
It is the basest deception for any man to
say that it is dangerous at this time to
make the Bauks resume. They have had
time enough. .
Let those who preach the doctrine that
the Banks cannot be brought to resume
without bringing a "good deal of distress,"
show us how it is that the New York
Bank, with bankrupt Philadelphia, and
bankrupt Baltimore at their heels, have re
sumed, and are in the most prosperous con
dition, of any of the Banks, except perhaps
our own ! 1 here are the three large cities
of New York,, Philadelphia, and Baltimore;
ihe two latter in a state of rags, as regards
currency, while the former is drawing from
the different Stales, an enormous sum in i
ihe way of exchange. These are facts
which "ignorant and designing dema
gogues," who are trying to shield the
Banks and blind the people, cannot con
ceal. If the Banks have not had time in
four years to "prepare for such an opera
tion," when in the name of all that is hon
est, will they I -
It is fudge, fudge, fudge, preached by
"ignorant and designing demagogues," to
shield the Banks and deceive the peo
ple. The Wilmington paper quotes Exchange
on Philadelphia at half per cent prsmium,
and on New York at three per cent. Mark
the difference. Can any one deny that
this state of tilings is owing to the suspen
sion of the other Banks, and the nonsus-
pension of the New York Banks ? As
Kendall's Expositor truly says, it is the
difference between a Bank note of a sus
pended Bank, and one which pays specie,
and not a difference in exchange. Il is ihe
difference between a healthy state of the
currency in New York, and a state of
suspension in North Carolina.
We think, however, that the people,
where elections have been held, are deter
mined to try it. Let it be tried. Let the
honest thrive, and let ihe dishonest receive
the punishment they deserve. Justice is
what is needed. North Carolina will lose
nothing by it. Her Banks can, no doubt,
compare wiih any iu the Un:on, for sound
ness. THE SUSPENDED BANKS DIVID
ING UP AMONG THE STOCKHOL
DERS THEIR ASSETS, WHILE
THEY PAY NOTHING TO THE
NOTE HOLDERS.

cle exposes monstrous fraud in the suspen
ded hanks of Philadelphia, which we have
no douhl, is universally practised by the
rotten corporations.
The people have ever been very patient
of robbery on a grand scale. They en

Kings, Sultans, and Pachas, probably be
cause it is better to have a considerable por
tion of their property taken than to have
their life-blood drained by ihe butchering
soldiery, who make them stand w hile they
are robbed. But what apology have the
high spirited freemen of America for sub
milting to be plundered from year to year
by gangs of swindling bank directors?

' The currency issued hy these banks is
at 4 per cent, discount for specie,' owing to
their confessed inability to pay their debts,
yet in the face oflhis declaration, ihey come
out and announce that they have made pro
fit to au average of nearly two per cent, in
six months, whicli they divide among their
stockholders. - Now one of two things is
certain. If the banks .are making money,
they can afford to(bear the loss of conver
ting a sufficient qtsntity of iheir assets, in
to active means, in order to redeem their
circulating notes. If they are not making
money, and cannot pay their dtb.s, this
process of dividing up the capital among
the stockliolderi is a direct lobbery of the
creditors of ihe bank. An association of
individuals subscrihe, as in the case of the
Girard Bank. $5,000,000; oi the credit
of that capital they obtain credit of ihe pub
lic and of other bauks ; in process of tune,
ihey find themselves unable to pay ihe debts
so contracted, and their notes sell in the
market at 4 per cent, discount. They
then proceed to divide up among them
selves, at the rate of 6 per c :nl. per an
num, the capital, on the strength of which
they obtained credit. If they can divide 6
per cent, why may noi they divide the
who'e, and leave the creditors to lake care
cf themselves? The above baaks are all
insolvent and the Girard so notoriously
bad, thai the stocks sell ai 25, and yt the
directors have the boldness to take $50,000
of the money that belongs to te credit of
ihe bank, and divide it among the proprie
tors. The profligacy of thi3 proceeding
can only be equalled by the eupineness of
the people that permit such a state of
things, or the corruption of the Legislature
that permits such institutions to exist.

this fact, we copy ihe following remarks
explaining the causes of the changes

What has brought ihese grent changes
about? The answer is plain, it was
THE DOINGS OF THE WHIGS AT THE EX
TRA SESSION OF CONGRE.cS.
The following are some of these do
ings viz:
The very first act that they passed after
meeting together, was an act to put money
Into their own pockets an act making an
appropriation to pay the expenses of the
Extra Session.
The second act was to create a new Na
tional debt of twelve millions of dollars J. '
During the administration of Gen. Jackson,
the whole of ihe debt created by the Revo
lutionary war and the war declared in 1812,
was paid off. But the second act of the
Whigs after they got power into their own
hands, was to create a new National debt
of twelve millions, which, unless they are
cheeked, will soon swell up to one hun
dred millions.
The third act on the list, is ar. at ma
king a present of twenty five thousand
dollars out of the public money, to Mrs.
Harrison.
A fourth is, an act authorizing Mrs.
Harrison to receive and send all letters,
and packages, free of postage.
Another act is entitled "An act making
appropriations for the.fuueral expenses of
Wm. H. Harrison," &c, amounting to
between three and four thousand dollars.
Another act provides that all the money
arising from the sales of Public Lands,
shall be taken out of the Treasury and
divided among the States, say between
three and five millions of dollars annual
ly ; and.
Then comes an act to increase ihe taxes
on the country fully ten millions of dol
lars, to supply the place of the money
given away to. the Slates, toMrs. Har
rison, and other unjustifiable expenditures.
Another act is one that the Republican
party. has always opposed, and the Feder
alists always advocated, it is. what is
called the Bankrupt Jlcl. Many of tha
Whig newspapers boast that this is the
greatest and best measure of the Extra
Session. Ii is certainly "a new way to
pay old debts."
These are some of the doings of the
Whigs at the Extra Session but not all
there are a good many other acts, and al
most all of them provide for the expendi
dure of money.
The amount of monpy voted away du
ring this Extra Session is upwards of five
millions f dollars but these Refor
mers, it seems, are not satisfied with
this, for Mr. Clay, as chairman of the
Finance Committee in the Senate, towards
the close of the Session, gave notice, that,
at the next Session, ihey must increase the
new National debt by making another
loan or, that they must lay further taxes
on ihe people. At the same time, he said
the expenditures of the Government should
be about twenty-eight millions of dollars
annually.
The expenditures daring Mr. Van Bu
ren's administration were about 21 millions
annually. This was loudly denounced by
the Whigs as being too extravagant; but
no sooner are they in power than they run
the expenditures up to twenty-eight mil
lions, and iheir leaders proclaim that this
is what it should be.
Let all the Tax-payers of the country
seriously consider these doings of ihe Ex
tra Session, and honestly answer whether
these, are the fruits they were promised.

"APATHY."
The Whig presses all over the country,
are becoming greatly indebted to this word.
It has become their standing excuse. Do
the Republican party defeat Federalism in
Maine? "It's the apathy of the Whigs.'
Do Georgia, Maryland, 'Pennsylvania and
other States follow in the same lead ?, Il's
the apathy of Whigs. But when New
York and Michigan voted, we looked for
something new ; but still it was "apathy"
again and nothing but "apathy. If we
had'r.t as soon die, as have such "an apa
thy1 as this, then we don't know what we
