"The Slate Jtxliro refuaed to obey the nimmona, and laid Uia whole proceeding Mts tlie lwlature, wrio approved Uioir conduct; tad Una, in UuU day, wu not calUtd daurgmnixatwm." To the politrna of friend in Raleigh, we are in debted tut 1 copy, from the old Lgblative Journal, of tlie proceeding referred to by Mr. Macon, and they will be found below. Thia ia very analoguue to the more recent casee in Georgia, where the Stat Court dunii-d, and refuJ to aubmit to, tlie jurindM tion of tlie Vuitrd Slutn' Court. Mr. Macon aaya the conduct of Niirth Carolina, "in that day, wu not called diaorrtniutmn.M No ; tlie General Government wu not, " in that day," conaidrd the flovaaaio of tlie land, and titu Btitm iU fxior diptndrnciri. Every body knew, tktn, how the Cocutitution wu Cimiwl, and Cjt what puriuaf ; and, although the new Government ahnwod, very early, a tendency toward Conaol idation, it wu euoo found that tocb a consumma tioa could only take place gradually, and afta the Peo ple ahould have bucutua Baralaa, UiruuK yeara of pros perity. In pmeeaof time, however, the General Government hu grown bolder u the Htstea tiave b-cone leaa vigi lant : and it now aaaerta it entire aupreinacy, and tlie right to pot a Sovereign State to tlie iword r tr.aiion ! And what ia treaann now-a-dayl Why, in the opi nion of certain people, who ntylo tliemwlvea "Union- men," retuance of an unetmttilHtumal lute M trtaim! But a better umleintanding of the meaning of word ia beginning to prevail, and a more correct knowlodge of (he nature of our inntitutions hu restihed frorn Die excitement caused by the assumption of tlie General Government, Rvery trueJiearted North Carolinian deeply regrcte tlal w aava no aecatalo and mtmHoHntory ef the State. Thore ia, with us, an almoat perfoct deatitution of one of the strongest incentives to high and generous action detailed records of the valor, patriotism, and magnanimity, of illuatrioua anceetnr To thia we as cribe, in a great nieuure, the tpalhy and want of tone with which our State ha been but too justly charged. It ia but a few years since the public were for tlie first time put in poaseeaion of an authentic history of the early and decided stand taken in North Carolina (Meck lenburg County) against the sggresMona of the Crown. We exulted at that development of tlie spirit of Li berty, and'tlie chivalroue style in which it barst rth.

POT-HOUSE POLITICIANS! It is but a few week since the respectable signer of s decent memorial from Burke County were called, by a Senator, I'ot-llnute VidilicianM. We remarked, at the time, that (lie degraded genus to which this ci- thet wa applicable did not breathe the pure mountain sir of North Carolina, but would have to be sought in tlie filthy purlies of a populous city. Since then, several petjUuua, wluch well deaerye the name of "miserable,' have been sent to Congress one from the rmull-hrer nciggeri of little York, in Penn sylvania, abusing, by name, some of the most distin guished Senators and another, from tlie Tammuny blackguards of tlie city of .New York, which swim to have been concocted, like the Doctor's dish in Pere grine Pickle, expressly for tlie purpose of producing violent nausea. Under the head of "National Insult,' we present some appropriate (cmarlu by an Editor justly indignant, arcoinnied with some of tlio fkliliofls ruiiiih to the Tammany petition. The trite saying, "like master, liko man," is not in applicable to these memorialists and their grand chief. When tlie President of tlie United State ao far for gets sclf-rcspcct the dignity that ovrkl to belong to Am station, and tlie respect due to a co-ordinate department of the Government as to treat the Senate with con tempt it is mrt surprising that those who boast of being ukoli-kog$ in fealty, u they certainly are in filth, should rush from tlieir styes, and follow their herds man's lead. But surely it is time for every man, who regards at all the character of his country, cither at home or abroad, to ponder well the cause which have produced tlie present state of things, and use his influ ence to correct it The right to petition ought to be, and is, held in re verence by all w'ho deserve the name of freemen.
