"all the morality and religion" as well
as "all the xoeallh" is nothing but a kna
vish practice, employed by impostors of all
6oris, to dupe Ui e hunest and credulous
portion of the community. The concoc
1ora of qii3ck medicines always in their
patents endow them with every virtue; and
a patent nobility, are ltke patent pills es
pecially does the resemblance hold com
pared with our scrip or scrub-nobility of
paper manufacture. Certainly the experi
ence of this country now attests beyond
all cavil, that the doses of paper, adminis
tered to it in our banks, by the way of re
lief, have had a jnore wasting -effect upon
it upon iis constitution as well as upon
the body politic generally than ever at
tended the patent Temedies of quacks upon
the bodies of their patients,
. Our political cmpyries are constantly
crying out for a sound currency. For
some time they cried down gold and silver
as humbug universal paper money alone
was the penacea. Finding, however, at
last, that the most credulous among their
adherents had some how or other arrived
at the conclusion that gold and silver coin
was really the safest and best eon of mo
ney, the impostors became clamorous for a
resumption of specie payments by the
banks. In this they found themselves a
dopting the odious Loco Foco doctrine; but
circumstances now show that they assumed
it merely as a mask, to batray. Upon the
Resumption bill in the House of Repre
sentatives of Pennsylvania, (where the De
mocrats have undisputed sway) the whigs,
with great unanimity, supported the in
stant payment of specie by the bank, or a
liquidation of the rotten concerns, lint, in
the Senate, where Whigery predominates,
(through the fraudulent gerrymandering of
the State,) the whole body of the party
have concurred in prescribing a five years'
suspension, and the giving of shinplasters
to the people in broken doses throughout
this whole period.
In the Maryland Legislature, the Mouse

MR. WEBSTER.
Rumors are beginning to appear in the
public prints, that this gentleman is about
to retire from the Cabinet. We have no
means of ascertaining his movements. We
sincerely wish Mr. Tyler a safe deliver
ance from his counsels, lie is no great
favorite of the Democracy; and, for cur
own parts, we are free to confess, that
from the moment hegcame to this City in
October, 1840, at the bidding of the wings,
10 play the impostor, and to pass himself
off upon Virginia as a Jeffersonian Repub
lican, we lost all respect for his moral
qualities, and our respect for the man.
From such a baleful influcnte in the Cabi
net, we wish Mr. Tyler a safe deliverance.
Mr. Webster's situation, indeed, is most
unenviable. Suspected by 'ill the Democ
racy, he is becoming an object of denunci
ation with some of the W lug Party. The
severest charges are now unhesitatingly
made against him. Prentice, ( the Louis
ville Journal, (of the Clay Ciiqe, and the
author of his Biography.) has recently
propagated a most scandalous story about
JMr. Webster's attempting to convert his
Department into a Harem to gratify his
sensuality; and the story is stated of his
making an attempt upon the virtue of the
wife of one of his Clerks, who visited his
office for 'the purpose of obtaining some
manuscript to copy with her pen. It is
said, that Mr. Webster has taken steps to
disprove the etory; and the New "York
American says, it has seen authentic cop
ies of affidavits made by him, ami by eve
ry Clerk . in his office, to contradict it.
These have bten forwarded to Preutice for
publication. - We shall wail to hear both
sides of the story.
The "Independent," (Mr. Clay's organ,
we still call it so, whatever It may say,
because it ;is in his confidence and in his
interests,) is opening a tremendous hattery
upon Jirra. In lis No. of last Tuesday, it
begins with. No. 1, Daniel Webster, with
tlie emphatic motto
Not tiH thy fa'l cculd mertals guess ' .
Afciliiiion's less than littleness."
It lays on the lash with an unsparing hand.
It speaks of him in the following unmeas
ured terms:
"We have never been among those" who
regarded this gentleman as "Godlike" ir.
any of his attributes; but, on the contrary,
have always thought that these claims and
concessions of extra-human abilities were
most injurious to hiin and debasing tooth
ers. Their effect upon him has been sad
indeed. He has considered himself re
leased from the common concerns of life,
which claim the attention of all mere mor
tals, until their neglect has been attended
with an utter sacrifice of character and in
dependence. These, however, are points
upon which we will not dwell. We will
leave him to settle with his idoialors. whe
ther they have been more to blame in giv
ing credit to his claims, or "he in abusing
their generosity by over-drafts. Nor will
we emer ".pon certain other points which
have lately been enlarged upon by some
less scrup ilous of contemporaries. If
it be tree, us has been alleged, that the Se
cretary of the State has literally made his
public power the pander to his libertinism
and his lusts; that in him is revived the age
of Domiti'on; that he, coming from the land
of the Puritans, is really one
" qucm Massa timet, queci muncre palpat
Carus, el a turbido Hymele subniissa Latino"
"If these things be true, we would in
deed weep, but our sorrow should be si
lent. Hut we repeat these are subjects
upon which we do not desire to dwell. It
is the influence of Mr. Webster's private
character upon his public conduct will;
which we have to deal.
'Supremely selfish and devoted to plea
sure, he has been through life, prodigal of
what was others', and lavish of his own
Cupidus alieni, profusus sui, and, con
sequently, has incurred numerous obliga
tions which he has neither the ability to
discharge, or the magnanimity to ac
knowledge. "Accustomed for years to adulation, and
fond (as Mr. Calhoun once told him) of
addressing the gallaries, he was by no
means prepared to abandon his prominent
position in the Cabinet, while it could be
retained at no greater sacrifice of public
honor than he had often before made on
occasions of less notoriety, lie was poor
selfish indolent and accustomed to a
tame submission to i lt; so tint, when
he declared, in oppo. ..jii to every other
member of the Cabinet, that 'he could see
n reason for abandoning his post,' it was
a confession of an obliquity pf mor-ij vision,
neither g:eater than lie had f '-rmi! vc ex
hibited, nor more astounding tVi'? ?:,'.?
other dt-elopenie-rits which arc yet to be
made. But, how distressing to his adhe
rents ! Those, and they are few, who
know hint thoroughly, we have already
said, were not astonished; but for the rest,
the great mass of citizens, language cannot
depict thsir amazement."
Here we have the cue to the griefs of
tlie Whigs. It is the determination of Mr.
Webster to remain in the Cabinet, and not
go all lengths with Mr. Henry Clay, that
constitutes the mortal offence of Mr. Web
ster. But for tins disloyalty to the Clay
Clique, his sensuality and his profusion
might have escaped the strictures of the
"independent."
The same paper makes another charge
upon him, which, if true, is intolerable in
our Republic. The Independent charges
Mr. Tyler with Nepotism (the rewarding
of the kin with office) and makes a simi
lar charge against Mr. Webster:
"We might take this occasion tn descant
upon certain additional cases of Nepotism
which are within our knowledge. We
might ask upon what other principle a
young cousin of Mr. Robert Tyler's lady
was advanced from five hundred dollar
clerkship to an Auditorship of $3000 per
annum. And we might show what careful
provision tlie Secretary of State has made
for his cousins and nephews how three
relatives of the name of Haddock are said to
have recently received lucrative appoint
ments for the merit of being akin to 'Daniel
the Godlike. Or we m'ght subject to the
crucible even the naval appointments of
the last ten months, and point out the ca
ses of purest favoritism but we pass these
over for another another occasion."
If there be the slightest truth in these
charges, we respectfully warn the Cabinet
to beware of thus violating the delicate rule
laid down by all the Virginia Presidents,
against rewarding their kinsmen with of
fice. There is nothing in worse taste, in
every respect, than surh abuses. Such
conduct in Mr. Daniel Webser, is less
excusable, since the declaration charged
upon him in the Independent, as being
made by him in the Senate, that "neither
for himself nor any relative, had he solicit
ed office." But we must add in -sober
truth, that the denunciation comes rather
with a bad grace from the "Independent,"
a paper devoted to Mr. Clay, who once
stooped to raise J. Q. Adams to the highest
office in the country, and then immediately
took from his hands the highest ofiice
which he had it in his power to confer
an office too, which Mr. Clay pronounced
to be in the "line of safe precedents" and
thus the direct passport to the Presidency
itself.
From the Richmond Enquirer of Feb, 22.
Mr. fFcbster. The Louisville Journal
of the 12th contains the affidavits, of Mr.
Webster, and of every Clerk. in his Odice.
denying the truth of the "anecdote" which
lately appeared in Hhat paper. Mr. W.
swears, "thai at no time did any. incident
ever occur which could give the slightest
color for the statement." The1 Editor of
the Journal regrets its publication and
sny?, lliat he "had it from the lips of one
of the most respectable gentlemen of Wash
ington City (Mr. Geo. May, a son cf Dr.
Frederick May.) who related it to us in all
its minute particulars" aud . that on tlie
day the anecdote appeared in the Journal,
"a member of Congress, who happened to
be here, (in Louisville,) stated that we had
not exaggerated the affair at all, but on the
contrary, it was really worse than we bad
represented it." We shall republish '.he
affidavits and presume, that Mr. May
will explain his part of the transaction.
But Mr. W. is somewhat unfortunate
in being dragged before the public. Scarce
ly have these affidavits appeared, thsn
another rumor is put firth against him.
The Washington Correspondent of lie !
Philadelphia "United Slates Gazette"
writes on the 11th, "A rumor is auat ti
day, that, by soma means, a letter, said u
have been written by Mr. Webster to Mr.
Edward Curtis of New York, had got a
mong the papers at the CustonvHouse,
and had fallen into the hands of Mr. Ty
ler. That the letter expresses a very con
temptuous opinion of Mr. Tyler, but inti
mate tl3t as he is in the Presidential si-at,
there is no hope for it, -and tliey must ,.n-ike
the best of him; or something to this tir?ci.
Of course, if there is any foundation for
this pm of the rumor, there is for the rist;
which is, that there 13 trouble in the wig
wam. I do not ptetend to know whether
this is mere idle gossip and tittle tattle, or
whether there is something in it. A few
days will determine." (As the Newspa
per gossips say"; tins story needs confir
mation.) From the North Carolinian.
OUR CANDIDATE.
W7e have not language to express the
heartfelt satisfaction we experience on be
holding the universal enthusiasm, with
which the Democrats respond to the nomi
nation of our fellow citizens, Louis D.
Henry. W-e are proud of our candidate:
And where is the Democrat who wiil not
be proud to sustain such a candidate in
such a cause' The name of Louis D.
Henry is familiar to the people of his State
from the sea-board to the mountains. As
a member of our Legislature, he was con
spicuously distinguished for his expanded
and liberal views, unfettered by the narrow
selfishness of local prejudice for the bold,
unconcealed frankness of his course nnd
an eloquence on which friends and foesev
er hung wiih admiration and delight- As
a Lawyer, all acknowledge his learning
and ability, and the cautious and euraor-d.;ii-.:'y.i-dt:Jity
n iiii which he ever con-d".i.-.s
r!'t;"!'ii.--in('-2 of .thu thousands who
seek Ins services. As a private citizen,
all who know him, appreciate him as the
courteous and accomplished gentleman.
As a politician, his principles are of the Jef
fersonian Democratic school, and if in his
early boyhood, by force of education and
association, he became indemnified with
the Federal party it is a matter of histo
ry, too notorious to be disputed that for
the last twenty years of his life, be has
avowed his preference for the Democratic
principles, and has advocated them boldly
and eloquently in primary meetings in
the Court yard on the Muiwp before
crowds and in private at all times and un
der all circumstances.

Mr. WISE'S SPEECH.
The reader wiil not fail to read attentive
ly the very interesting speech of Mr, Wise
in to-day's J. Ifersonian. It is replete with
well authenticated hicts on a subject of the
deepest importance to the Southern people.
He proves beyond question, that Rrilish
Abolitionists are leagued with a powerful
party in our own country, in a crusade a
gainst the existence, too, of the Union it
self. Of this we have long since been sat
isfied; and the facts submitted by Mr. WjSp
place tlie matter beyond a doubt. II "nee
the disposition evinced on the part of our
Government, through the influence of Mr.
JVtbstir. to concede to Great Rrittain the
right of detaining and searching at pleasure
our ships on the coast of Africa; hence
the tardiness of Government to demand
from that naiion of robbers prompt satis
fiaction for the outrage committed at Nas
sau in the liberation of the slaves of Amer
ican citizens. M. W. hankies Uie mailer
with a giant's hand; and sve beg the rea
der's particular attention to one remaik of
his that for the protection of their right
of properly, the Southern people must
look to the Democracy in Congress from
the North. The Democrats have constant
ly warned their fellow citizens of this fart,
and now they 'have it from a Whig leader,
distinguished for his manly independence
and faerless adherence to truth and iustice.

WHIG RELIEF.
The Whigs, before the election, promis
ed relief w the people, From the embarras
ments under which they weie said to be
groaning, and to restore prosperity to a
suffering country. And now what is this
relief? Why, an increase of the burdens
of the people! This is a paradox to be
sure; but its never the less true, that all
their measures of relief are predicated upon
an increase of burdens. The same may
be said of ail their promises the perfor
mances being in every case exactly the re
verse of the thing promised-.
CASE OF THE CREOLE.
President Tyler, in compliance with a
resolution of the Senate, adopted on the
18th tnst., at the instance of Mr. Walker,
calling for information in relation to the ac
tion taken by this Government in the Cre
ole case, has sent in a message containing
a communirztion from the Secretary f
State on the subject. It was the Secreta
ry's letter to Mr. Everett, informing him
of the circumstances of the Creole case,
and also of the grounds upon which our
Government would rest in her demand of
redress from the Iiri'.ish Government. It
is said to be drawn up wi;! nuc!i aUiiiy,
and with great fore of truth ..and just prin
ciples, and elicited high compliments from
Messrs. Walker and Calhoun. The Sec
ntary takes the same ground maintained
ly Mr. Stevenson on the general princi
ples involved in the controversy, iud ap
plies those principles to the case of the
Creo!e. Such a document, coining f-om
luch a quarter, Mr. Calhoun thinks, is cal
culated to produce the best results.
The communication was ordered to be
printed, and referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AF
FAIRS. Messrs Cooper of Georgia, Holmes of
South Caroiina, and Chapman of Alabama,
having been excused from serving on this
Committee, the Speaker appointed the fol
lowing Members to ttike their places viz:
Mr. Caruthers of Tennessee," Mr. A NStu

Mr. Horace Everett, of Vermont;
Mr. Francis Granger, of New York;
Mr. Edward D. While, of Louisiana;
Mr. Augustine II. Shepperd, ofN.C,;
Mr. Caruthers, of Tennessee;
Mr. A. H. Stuart, of Virginia; and
Mr. Merriwether, of Georgia.
Mr. Clay has introduced in the Senate,
a series of resolutions, among tfhich is one
to raise the tariff t 'X up to about 30 per
cent, so as to make the revenue from that
source amount j 20 millions per annum,
and another, to rpeal that provision of the
Distribution bill, which renders that mea
sure inoperative if it should be necessary
to raise the duty over 20 per cent. Let
the people of the South note these things.
Here is a proposition to violate the Com
promise act, and to add 50 per cnt to the
tariff burdens of the people as fixed by that
measure &. all to support the extravagance
of the economy professing Whig Adminis
tration, which before the election promised
to administer the Government on 15 mil
lions instead of 26 ! And coupled with
this proposition is another, to carry into
effect the Distribution scheme, which gives
two ur three millions to the State. Thus,
ih pockets of the people must be robbed of
about 10 millions to enable the. Govern
ment to give 3 millions to the Stales!
What a beautiful system this is !

Between Da. Cameron and W. II. Hay

Fayetteville, Feb. 8, 1812.
To Mr. V. II. Havwood, Jr.,
Dear Sir: It is motored here, that you
were opposed to the nomination of Mr.
Henry, or at least, that you were indifferent
about it; this has excited so-ne. suspicion
amongst your friends, and they would like
to know, (if there is any trutfi in tlie re
port.) w fiat are your reasons for it. Tlie
nomination, as far as I have heard, gives
universal satisfiction to his political
friends.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
THOS. N. CANERON.
Raleigh. Feb. lo, 1842.
Dr. Tiios. N. Cameron,
My Dear Sir: I have heretofore uni
formly waived my privilege to expose, by
any form of address to the public, ihe ca
lumnies which my policicnl opponent saw
fit, from time to time, to proomigaie against
me. Dm ahim' I have of;en forborne to
make a defence of myself, and sometimes,
when it cost me no little sacrifice of person
al pride and feeling, my reasons for it are
not important now, and it i sufficient that
my right to pursue a different course upon
the present occasion, is a perfect right, and
therefore neet!s no excuse for its exercise.
Your Iet;er, (in a degree at least.) obliges
tne to answer for myself; but whether ihis
answer shall hp published lo the world, or
kepi as a private communication, 1 leave
entirely to your own discretion.
For myself, I have no ambition to appear
before the public at all, hut I have no
opinions upon public questions, which I
dare not utter any where, and no motive
for my conduct ttiat requires concealment.
Judging by the past, however, I think you
will discover that every effiut you make to
correct one such rumor, as respect rue,
and more particularly in regatd to our can
didate, will belittle more that removingone
falsehood out of the way, to rrake ro.m
for another. Rut I proceed to my answer,
as that will be loug enough, without aiy
complaints.
.It were a great mistake then. I assure
you, in any body, tr suppose that berause
I did not concur wiih the Democratic Con
vention in the propriety of alluding, in their
proceedings as a L-onvention, lo the burial
j expenses of Gen. Berrison, that there'
fore
I had left the Democratic party,, or was
opposed to the nomination of Mr. Henry,
or fell indifferent to his election. , To be
lieve this of uie, )uld be ungenerous in a
friend unjust in an adversary. 1 cannot
leave. the Democratic party, without re
nouncing the Democratic political faith.
This I did not do then I have not done
it since: and 1 do not calculate upon doing
it hereafter. My pariy is tken up on br-
count of my faith, not my faith on, account
of the pariy. My -political principles uo
not hang loose enough about me to be "put
off and on at pleasure. My political opin
ions are not easily aliered, because they
have not been lightly formed. 1 recognize
no power, in any man or party, lo oblige
me to say what I do not think whilst I
would consent to omitting any thing,
where the omission sacrificed no' principle
of my faith, to obtain the concurrence of an
associate, and to admit the co operation of
a brother. If other men. as free lo act and
think for themselves as 1 am for myself,
preferred not to stnke out this all "sion,
1 have not even complained agai it it, but
certainly I ought not lo be accused of
treachery.
Least of all, have I been brought into
"hosiiluy to Louis 0. Henry's nomination
for Governor.' Opposed lo Mr. Henry!
I have been longer upon the same side
wiih him, hi our past political contests,
than with almost any other prominent mar
in North Carolina. We went together for
General Jackson, first about the tune I came
to full age, and after it in all his elections,
and we have been together ever since. I
admire Ims attachment to the principles of
Democracy, ami his deep devotion to tho
Union, and I have unqualified confidence
in both. II is enemies may affect to ques
tion his Democracy, but it is because they
do not know the sincerity of tlie nun.
They will pretend to charge him with
Federalism, when in realty, the' hate him
for his unyielding Democracy. They are
referring to the prejudices of his education,
and the errors of his boyhood only because,
being no candidate for office, yet against
the feelings of kindred, the pride of former
associations, and the personal interest that
has blinded so many others, his riper years
have found him an open, fearless, undis
guised, disinterested advocate of Democra
cy; and the favor of his friends has now
made him the cha npion of such as "love
their principles for the take of their Coun
try." If there is a man in this world who
would scorn dissimulation in politicts, yon
know it is Louis D. Hon-y. That which
makes him a scourge to demagogues and a
terror to his political enemies, will provoke
parly malice to falsify his a-Ms, and trn !':o3
his motives, but it is that w hich commend
his nomination to my peculiar approbation,
and should rou?e up the real people of tho
State, every where, lo his support. He is
honest, capable, aud faithful Honest in
his professions capable to fulfil lliem
and faithful to the Constitution and the
People. How then coul.l I feel hostile t-
his nom inatioii!
politically an I financially, this Sta'e
needs just such a Governor as he would
make: Whether as a Slate sing'y. or as h
part of the United States, ho is just the
man that is required for i he limes, I have
known him, and observed his course, at
home and abroad, in private and in public
every where he has shown himself a
Democrat, but not a demagogue a patriot,
but not a mere partizan a statesman of ihe
right stamp a politician without hypocrisy,
and free of all disguise. No matter in what
station he has been required lo perforin his
part; has he not been wise in counsel
resolute in action diligent in business
eloquent in debate true to fits friends
magnanimous to his enemies faithful to
all tiis promises and false to no trust . lie
would accept? This is high praise, (if my
compliments of him c uld be considered
siiidi,) but you have asked uie for n(y opin
ions, to vindicate me against the falsa
rumors of being opposed to the Democratic
Candidate: Probably ihe blow was aimed
at him, because his enemies knew I tin.
derstood his character, and would therefore
excite a suspicion against him from the
imputed indifference of ihe friend who
knew him best. At any rate all that I have
written I believe and 1 do most sincerely
think that there is no one in our S'aie,
whoo) it will be so u ise, so safe, I even
