As every proposal for the dissemination of useful knowledge among the Inhabi tants of our country is generally icceived wii.li approbation, we might reasonably expect that every plan for the ameliora tion of the political condition of the cit mis of N'oith-Caroliiu, would likewise bo hailed us th precursor of a more equi table policy in the State government. But, we have melancholy evidence, that there are men in our State whose notions of political justice are so warped by interest, or prejudice, or seme thing else, that they imagine every effort of the p'cople to amend their political charter (that it may harmonize with ti.e enlightened views of the present day) is an indication that trea ton is plotting in the country. These men say, that the people are less enlight ened, and less capable of self government, in North-Carolina, than they were forty six years ago ! ! That the human mind retrogrades, instead of advancing, is a prin ciple so preposterous,that it seemsst range there should be a man in the United Sutes who believes in it. But, paradox ical as the principle is, it is the pivot on which the whole of the objection to the calling of a Convention turns. Our r.astern brethren are so zealous in opposing every thing that bears the least affinity to improement, or political re form, that it is with peculiar satisfaction we har a sentiment so just and liberal as v.. r.. ii. v, r..... u.n. ... . i ...

Hut the time has nvu- arrived when the people of the West are not only Icerinning to think, but also to act, for tiicmselves.

Jotm flay, JJrut. John M. ltlaek, Coif. IKAS. In this week's pi'per, our readers' will find a letter from Mr. W. W. Walker, who paid a risif the last summer to the province cf Texas. The letter was com mi'i.ifated fcr publication, by a gentlem .1 who assures us he is ready to vouch for II I'.MHV MOltMMi, h;t the toi'iectncss of liie, statements and do ! scripiions contained in it. Although, in' the main, the writer may be tolerably correct, we cannot consistently say amen to all of his enraptured descriptions, nor, to all of iiis grave political speculations,- especially, we cannot subscribe to that part w hith so broadly condemns, as impo litic, tlie'provisionsof the Florida Treaty ; for we always have believed (and wc yet have no shadow of reason to alter that belief) that the possession of the Hondas is quadruple the value to the nation of the disputed title we once held to a part of the Spanish province of Texas. We doubt not tut Mr. Walker wrote from an hon est belief; but every reflecting person will set down his description as being too highly colored. lie seems to have fallen in love with every thing he saw. It ap pears, no doubt, to him, that " There Ceres' gifts in waving prospect iitaiid j And nodding, tempt the joi till reaper's hand." Hut we all know how enthusiastic feelings will warp the judgment of a man. In this instance, wc aie suie, Mr. Walker has suffered his zeal (coupled with his inter est, no doubt) to get the upper hand of his sober judgment ; otherwise he would not have indulged in so hypeibolir.nl a description as to compare Texas, in eve ry reject, to the phosiiseo land, for the inheritance of which the chosen people of Israel endured the privation and dis tress of a forty years' journey through a wilderness. The inhabitants of the oh! settlements of our country have so often been cajoled away from a comfortable and easy living, by exaggerated accounts of some distant country, " flowing with milk and honey," and have so often been sorely disappoint ed, that it is not now so easy a matter as it formerly was, to impose upon their cre dulity.

Hut when he pirs f.iwniiig on his favor ite, and turns in to abusing Gen. Stokes,; he Ccseives a muc.i sevrrrr notice than wc are disposed new to give him. We 1 have too much resjret for both the gen llemcn, unccrcmoiaotisly to drag them into our columns, nd cant ass their re spective meiits. Rut had wc the same disregard for persc-nal feelings that the Lditor of the Compiler seems to have, wc are ccitain that General Stokes would have nothing to Tear from a compaiison with Mr. I5ranch. With Gen. Stores wc have but 1 slight j -.rtMonal acrjtiaint.ncr, with Mr. Branch, none at all ; but wc know them both as (public characters. Gen. Stokes was a public man before the now full grown Lditor of the Compiler wrs swaddled by his nurse. He Is one of those gray-headed veterans who, in the days of trouble, 1 011 glit for the tights we now enjoy among other rights, for the liberty of the press, by the licentious exercise of which he is now abused. Shortly after the rev oitition, he entered ioto the scrt'uc of North.CaroIina, and since then has never been out of it. He has served the state in various capacities, and always with r.iihfulness and ability. In the year 1804, was chofin by the Legislature as Sen ator to Congress, but declined the situa- lion j he was, the ysar after, re-cho&cn by the Senate to his old post of. Clerk of that body; where he continued until 18 1G, when he was elected in opposition to Mr. lhanch, to fill the remainder of Mr. Turner's term in the Senate of the Uni ted States. He was then opposed by Mr. Yancey, for the succeeding term of six years, aud was elected. These ure facts without comments ; and wc would, with diffidence, conclude from these, that the Legislature knows fully as much abou: these gentlemen as the Lditor of the Hal ifax Compiler. As for Mr. Hranrh, he is pot account able for the fully of bis friend ; and, therefore, wc arc unwilling to bring him forward, and carry out the parallel. We moreover have too much regard for truth, to fall upon him, jutl-mell, and deny his merits. lie has mciits, and has our re spect in common with the other citizens of the state. Mr. llranch was a respect able member of the Legislature ; made a respectable speaker of the Senate, and was a very good Governor of the State. As Governor ol the State his merits con sisted more in not acting at nil, than in doing any thing. He did not follow the example of some of his predecessors, and reprieve or pardon every scoundrel that was convicted by the courts ; he left .the laws to take their course : and this is the respect wherein he made a good go vernor. Hut as the wise and piudcnt I'diior of the Compiler sums to be such a gieat admirer of ttvrrhr, wc should be ',l.id to learn where Mr. B. ever di-.tingnishrd himself 3S an oratoi. The knowing Ldi tor goes on to say of (W nl. S. that he is one of the most valiant volets" in the Senate. To this we rive a I! it denial; and would ask for proof, did wc not know that .r'i'f is a commodity in which the Compiler does but sL!m deal. Wc have for several years been constant and attentive observers of the proceedings of Congress; and we assert it, without fear of contradiction, Ihat there is n it in the whole Senate, a member whose votes have beeji mote consistent, and whose course has been more uniform, than , (.ehIi Stoke., Lvcfl lhe (otT)I(i!eI. ,)im. j M,f say5) ,4 m rrinriplcs of Mr. Sl((U s ,uve Mvcr lurstioI)t.u IVc. j ciou, conf,io!l j from Sl)ch a solirrc.

Tennessee is tie trt piirnd that her great man, of w bom she is so ju -tly proud, shall not be forgotten, an I therefore at this early day offers him s a rriinTiil.t'cr for the first ofiice in the pi ft of the United States. Alth'Migh this movement nnv be a little premature, our own bias is at present in favor of state nominations. Any thing to get lid of a Congressional Cau cus ! any thing that will afford a tolera ble substitute, and give us a candidate in whom we all may conscientiously unite. Tennessee and South-Carolina have al ready expressed their sentiments. Lei the other. states in the course of the en suing winter pursue the same course. We shall then be able to infer what arc the chances of the several candidates, and he, among them, who has the best support, might and probably would unite a majority of the votes. If the expe riment failed, there would still be time for a Congressional Caucus. From Utt.iVw-OikfcM Uaette We observe with gioatsatisfaction t,v General Jackson is before the people a.,, candidate for the ollice of President (i the United States. It appears from a let ter published in the Louisiana Advertise of yesterday, that one branch of the lt gislaturc of Tennessee has unanimous rcconuiieiided him to the electors, an lliere h little doubt he will receive all tin votes of that highly respectable state. I isproj able, also, that he will be supports by South-Carolina, Georgia and Misiiv sippi.
