The character ot ou tf I The6oU, has onr ciiiu- of has5andman, yiejda an inJ harvest, and is no less remarkable for the ab""S" 'nan the infinite variety of its productions ; iX " the climate, without creating any perceptible ZhinM in the temperaments or characteristics of our innfe is so modified, in differant sections, that fnow-c'louds float upon our mountains at the same fime that flowers brought from the tropics are bloom ing on our Eastern shore, and exhalingsweet odours beneath a Summer's sun. The absence of public virtue, nor practice of vice and immorality, can not have blunted the moral sense of her population, tor in no other State Is virtue more highly appreciated integrity so scrupulously practised vice more jren ' lfy reprobated and crime so certainly punished. The torpor of the Body Politic of which I speak, has its origin in none of these causes, but results from She total want of State Pride among our people, in the sense that I have considered it. The extinction of this sentiment or I should rath er say decay, for I hope the germ still exists ha3 been occasioned, in an eminent degree, by the course and action of the prominent public men in our State, who cive tone to, and control public opinion; and, in arraigning them at the bar of that public opinion iLv have misdirected, and holding them res ponsible for the diro consequences to our most vital Interests, which have followed in the train of their conduct and example, 1 lntena no injusuua w mo r mpan no disrespect to the dead. On the contrary, if time permitted, it would be a pleasing as .n ia a o-rateful task, whilst awakenins the slum- fiprintr enenries of the one, to canonize the virtues of We have had we now have Patriots, Statesmen, and Orators, whose love of country, tal kie, and eloauence. would render them ornaments to any State ; but, in selecting objects for the peculiar devotion or ineir patriotism, anu iu cnuusiug mca.ico for the exercise and display of their talents and elo quence, they have, in my humble judgment, commit- teu a ruosi grievous error, aim iu crrur nni ouu. irinn the boldness to expose. There exists in this Republic the singular, yet, as time has shown, consistent anomaly of two Govern ments operating within the several (States at the same time, and intended to work harmoniously in the same system one domestic, actinsr directly upon the im mediate interests of its citizens, in the protection of their persons and property the other cruelly foreign havinc its powers defined by express delegation, and entering the domestic circle only in specified instances, where that invasion is necessary to consummate the main and principal purpose contemplated in its crea tioo. The discussion of the extent and nature of the powers thus delegated to the latter, and of the pro priety ef their exercise under various circumstances, has originated political parties, organized with refer ence to these questions. Suph parties, when found ed upon principle, arraying men who honestly differ ID opinion on oppusue siues ui quesuuus ui umiuuai policy, and, when confined to the legitimate purpose of advancing issues thus made, are eminently conser vative. Their conflicts elicit truth and expose error. and no patriot can regret their existence, or will re fuse connection and affiliation with them. Solon in corporated a provision in the Athenian code, requir ing every man to take one side or the other in the discussion and ultimate decision of public questions. in order to secure the wisdom and counsel of virtuous men. These questions of a national character are sometimes ot great magnitude, involving the rights of the States, the fate of the Union, yea, the exis tence of Constitutional liberty itself, and. in such emergencies, they demand the highest consideration from every citizen in the respective States ; bat they are ottiraes mere ephemeral issues, creating a mo mentary excitement and then passing away, having anecles, in no serious respect, the general welfare. In no instance, however, can the internal regulations and local interest of any one of the States be made subordinate and inferior in the scale of importance, to questions and issues pertaining to the Federal Government, without retarding the progress and en dangering the future welfare of the particular State whose public sentiment may be thus misdirected. It has been the misfortune of onr State, that her statesmen, and leading men generally, have given to national issues, whether momentous or ephemeral, apparent precedence in their regard. By speeches, essays, and personal appeal, they have directed the attention of our people so habitually and constantly to these subjects, that many of our citizens regard them as the only questions demanding peculiar con sideration; and believing, from the prominence al ways accorded to national politics, that the Federal head at Washington is the only source of life and vitality to our system that our national councils is the only true medium of wise legislation and that national glory is the only altar at which a patriot should offer oblations, they have ceased to manifest that anxious zeal for the local prosperity of their State, which untutored nature itself would otherwise nave prompted them to feel and exhibit. By the example of her Statesmen, our young men of genius and talent, -as they respectively enter the grand drama of life, turn aside from the paths of Lite rature desert the investigations of Science forsake the cultivation of Art repudiate the homely avoca tions of Commerce, Trade, and Mechanical Industry, and seek political life as affording and opening the only sure avenue to fame ; or those pursuits alone are chosen, which may eventually lead the young aspi rants to political honors. Under the instruction of her Patriots, the patriotism of our people has been extended over a wider surface, but it is wholly ineffectual for good, because the strength of their local attachments has been impaired. Her citizens abandon their homes and firesides with out regret, with positive indifference, and, carrying with them wealth, intelligence and vim e, learn, in some more favored State, to feel and cherish a devo tion to the immediate government which protects hem, that would have had no kindred feeling here. .lie wealth thus abstracted is enriching every soil . imeuigence thus lost is enlightening every cabi- ueiand the virtue thus removed is adornin? everv wiai circle, in this wide-spread Union.

Twelve " Disunionists " in Congress from Virginia ! What will the Whip- papers do! Is it not time that Mr. Fillmore had issued a Proclamation on the subject? A very heavy vote, says the Enquirer, has been thrown in favor of the new Constitution. SPECIAL TERMS. Gov. Reid has appointed the following Judges, to hold Special Terms of the Superior Courts : Judge Caldwell, Buncombe, first Monday in De cember, 1S51. Judge Ellis, Moore, fourth Monday in November, 1851.

The United States mail steamer Pacific has arrived, having made the passage in 11 days. Ivtgland. At latest advices the frigate Mississip pi, with Kossuth on board, had not reached liibral tar, and no tidings of Kossuth had been received in England since he sailed from Marseilles op to the evening of the 14th inst. lhe flood of emigration from Great Britain, espe cially from Ireland, was beginning to excite the seri ous apprehension of government. A demand tor the repayment ot money advanced to the Irish Unions during the famine was causing much stir throughout Ireland, and some downright repudiation had taken place. lhe leauiag event in Liondon was the final closing of the great exhibition, on the 11th inst. Much less good order prevailed than might be expected. The building was overcrowded, and the closing rather tumultuous, and distinguished from the closing of previous days only by partial attempts to get up cheers for the Queen and Prince Albert, and to per form " God save the Queen" in chorus. The build ing was open to exhibiters on the 12th and 14th, and the award of prizes took place on the 15th. 1 rancb. 1 he President has accepted the resigna tion of the ministry, and his announcement is made more starting by the further assurance that Girardin will be a member of the cabinet. The rumors as to the cabinet have caused a decline of a half in the funds. The Paris papers announce that all persons arrested for connexion with the recent conspiracy have been released. Spain. Ministerial changes were spoken of at Madrid. The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Madrid, which states that, at a cabinet meeting held on the 8th, a proposition was made by JYIurillo to sell Cuba and Puerto Principe to England for the sum of $150,000,000, which sum he said represented the capital of the revenue Spain received from these islands. Letters trom Madrid announce that Oeneral Armairo had resigned' his office of Minister of Marine, and would probably be succeeded by M. Darral. The frigate Guatemala, with 116 Cuban invaders on board, has arrived at Vigo, Spain ; the Venus with five, and the Isabella Catholica' with four. The widow of General Enna had also arrived at Vigo. The Queen of Spain had summoned the Cortes for prompt assemblage it was presumed ' to take action with regard to the American prisoners. A reconciliation has been brought about between Sir Henry Bulwer and the Spanish Marshal Narvaez. This estrangement was of a political character only. Sir Henry being too liberal for Narvaez on the then condition of Spain. Narvaez, wbile in London, made personal explanations to Lord Palmers ton, which opened the way for negotiation. The Markets. The English cotton market was freely supplied, at prices favoring buyers. . Cotton has declined id. on lower qualities. The sales on Monday and Tuesday were 12,000 bales, of which exporters took 5,000. Breadstuff's were not so brisk and prices were ea sier. Sales of Western flour at 18 a 19s ; Philadel phia and Baltimore 18s ijd a 19s. Mixed corn 25 6d a 26s ; yellow 26s a 26s 6d. .Arrival of the Eur opa. . Baltimore, Oct. 28 9, p. m. The steamer Eu- ropa arrived at Halifax this morning, with three days later news, oolton depressed, and had declined. The sales of the week were 39,000 bales. Bread stuffs quiet,' without special change since the sailing of the Pacific. Corn in steady demand. Provisions quiet prises unchanged. Lard firmer.

ON Saturday the 20th day of December seat, on the premises, I shall offer for sale, by virtae of a de cree of the Court of Equity, entered in the matter of Thomas J. Portis and others, heirs at law of John For' tis, deceased, the celebrated and far fame'd GoldMnaes known as the PORTIS' MINES Thesaid mines are situated in Franklin County about thirty miles from Halifax town, twenty miles from War' renton, and eighteen from Louisborg. The tract of land contains about 1300 acres, lying, immediately on Shocco Creek, and tor farming pur poses alone, is a valuable estate; but its agricultural value is completely eclipsed by its immense value as a mine. There have been few instances in North Carolina-, where an estate of such vast magnitude has been offered for sale publicly. These mines have been worked about 18 years, and it is estimated that a million of dollars have been dug out of them and there are parts' of them now as rich as the sands of the Sacramento. A large portion of the lamb the very choice par Mr were carefully reserved by the late proprietor, which he always called his pocket book." The value and richness of these reserves are beyond all human calculations. An effort will be made to di vide the mining lands, so as to bring the lots within the limits of individual enterprise very few men-being; able to purchase the whole estate. To the enterprising capitalist here is a most inviting field even the portions that have been worked still a bound with the precious ore, and those huge piles of rock and sand, by the ignorant thought valueless, under the control of scientific men, would yield unnumbered thousands, after paying the cost of machinery and labor. In many parts of the reserves it is believed that eve ry cart-load of gravel will produce a penny-weight of gold dust. The water to wash is close at hand, and timber and fuel in abundance on the land. The dwell ing house is large and convenient also a large number of framed negro houses, almost new, together with every necessgry out house. This land is sold for divis ion among the numerous heirs, and it most go for what it will brine. A credit of one. two and three yean will be giveu and bonds bearing interest from the 1st of January next, well secured, will be reqoired of the pur chaser, and possession given on the 1st of January 1852. Letters addressed to me at Louisburg will receive prompt attention. - irtus. iv. inuMAS, m. m. c. Louisborg, Oct23, 1851. 891 Stw. TO BAIL ROAD CONTRACTORS.
