It behoves us nevertheless to appreciate our sulTr.nr, as we should weie wo sure it would ho decisive of the contest and whrthrr it be worth ten talent or but the widow's mite, let it only go (o the worthy. North Carolina, diffident and unaspiring, regardless of her resources, and uncon scious of her strength, has been contented hitherto, to occupy a very humble station in the scale of the union ; a haughty and overweening neighbor, from local causes has gained an ascendant by which sh has repressed the Energies, controuled ihe politics, and utterly obscured the import ance of North -Carolina. Bull trust the political bonds of Yassalage have at length been broken ; that hereafter we will think and act for ourselves in all matters that conrcrn us as a government. It would seem, however, that Virginia would still hold u to our flatly. She, with a few of the aspii big and disaffected in other states, have commenced a new- political dynasty ; sheluforganized tier bttallan, appoint ed her chief.' and issued the word. of com mand to her retainers she has enlisted and numbered us among the forces of the radicals. If. however, any reliance is to be placed in the signs of the timet, she will at length be disappointed. But, mj fellow-citizens, I would hate us examine for ourselves, the cause we are called up on to support, and look well to the allies that ic demanding our aid. If the meet our approbation, let not the immodest,ob- trusion of an officious neighbor so far dis crust us as to prejudice our judgments l,et us in the first place scrutinize the measures of our present functionaries, and it they be found materially wanting, let us abjure them and their author.- If, however, upon a fair examination, we find much to approve and but little to con demn. -if indeed it be even doubtful whether the present system be the best; and if, on the other band, no measures are proposed that are evidently better than those heretofore adopted, we should act unwisely in subjecting ourselves to the risk, the uncertainty, and the confusion always consequent to innovation ; it is certainly better in such "a case to " bear the ills we have, than fly to ethers that we know not of." But what are the charges brought against the present ad ministration I The 44 front of their offend ing" is, as they say, a. waste of public money-- Vltlwut going into detail, and raa- f sacking document Sw positive. .proof s I sate ly m ia uierxntrnK: :w ) ..uus pioUig'ilitV JaJbeen 10 grearind little felt byihe peopler fK-ompIMts are heard of the pressure of taxes or burdens of any kind ; indeed there is scarcely one in fif- ly that even knows ;nnnreimr-thst he pays towards the general government I he state taxes and the. levies for county purposes are known and sometimes felt, but we are scarcely conscious of the small pittance thatVe contribute the national fund; how is it tben that there has been such great ' squandering and wasting, when a few pence from each individual suffices to rneetthe public demands;: The leakage1 must be small, .where no loss is perceptible.

Litera ture, science, and internal improvements,1 which constitute in fact the true glory and strength of the nation, have been but too much neglected by the national gov ernment. How mighty and grand, how eminently glorious, and at the same time permanently secure, might our country become, by a liberal application of her vast resouices! But suppose lor a mo ment,tht there is this crying necessity for reform suppose these tales of waste and prodigality be true, who lethe llor culcs relied on to cleanse the Augean Stables is it he who hismade the great est littci?

Tbe charges brought igaintt him ts a poli licisn and as a man, are alrooat at numer ous at those mentioned in the Declara nt ion of Independence against the king of England t He has wasted more than a million of the public money. He Lit made mit takes in his official reports, by thousands and thousands. He has when jailed up on by tbe Repretentativti of the People, to render an account of his stewardship, tried to suppress the documents that were unfavorable to himself. He endeavored by a trick, le evade another enquiry ef Congress, when charged with paying money unlawfully to a Senator of the Uni ted Slates. He tecretly and unworthily fomented the rage against tbe hero of New-Orleans, and tried to disgrace him He pretended to be a Federalist io 98. for the purpose of getting into power, lit endeavored to overreach Mr. Monroe in the last caucus.

Some of tbe above charges are tutcep tible of tbe clearest proof, and they all hang oveT him unexplained. Beside the above catalogue, it it known that he it a muter at intrigue, and that hit friendt are striving for a caucus to give him an eppoitunity of exercising hit talentt in his peculiar line. If the least of tbe above charges be true, and whether true or not, until he explaina them away, he cannot expect the vole of North-Carolina, where unimpeached integrity hat ever been' ihe tine cud non of promotion : -The chief magistrate, of this greaund jrlrtuous Dea pt should-b, like- CasWe wif,- above UttplfloPaTrSft hi abjotAit.ihQ.uId he jit. that detnctiorritself wottld'oe-ashamed to assail him. ! htme tbat I shall not be charged with adulation, when I tuggett Mr. Calhoun, as the candidate most .wer- ihy 6f our COTfidrored-tjesming-of our highest admiration ; hit etcutcheon it not blotted with suspicions; hit moat rancorous opponent have not dared to arraign the purity of his morale, or the in legrity of bit principles to manly and independent hat been the course of this splendid statesman, so even . and digni tied hat been the tenure ef bit life, to smiable haf btett"biswhoi emeapor) that all parties have delighted to honor him.
