CO" The Presidency. Tho following- Cotnmttnica tion is from a gentleman cf as high f landing as any in western North Carolina, one who has borne a promi nent p-!it in the Presidential contests fur the pas-l I'Z years, at.d withal a ood old Republican of the Jeflerso nian School. We most fully agree with cur correspondent, that the Iriends of correct ptinciples, aad those w!io are opposed to the corruptions practised by the party in power f-r the past nine years, ought not to sutler slight differences ;f opinion to divide them, by which their enemies will Ji3xtLlpj)MtIUtja'JCTcrences with our neighbor have been of no trifling nature he has taken occasion to assail, repeatedly, the principles and men of a small party to which we are proud to belong, without the magnanimity to do us even common justice it was for euch a course that we have been forced into a contro versy with the Watchman. lLit where we can meet on a common ground, as we think we can on that suggested by our otcernrd correspondent, we offer our neighbor our hand we ro for Union in resisting the encroachments of the Fede ral Government on the rights of the States, wheth er originating with the Executive or with Con gress; for organizing our strength in the coming Presidential contest to effect a Reform of the ex travagances of the past eight years, and to fortify the South against the inroads of abolition fanaticism. Wc go too, as our correspondent says, for placing cur Ood old unassuming State on high ground, ivlire her course and principles may be known, and iv ill be respected. For these ends we go, if we go ;ith only 44 Solitary and Alone." To the Editor of tiik Caroiixian: Sia : I am a subset iber to your paper, and also to the Watchman-and in common with you both, opposed to the re-election of the present Chief Magistrate of the United States. I believe he went into the Executive Chair through a rent in the Constitution, and at the fame time treading- under foot, the purity of the elec tive franchise. If experience is of any value, the op position should have learned to cherish union and to avoid division. Permit me, respectfully, to say to you and the Watchman, that in my humble opinion, your warfare is ill-timed and unprofitable. You should hus band your strength and resources for the common ene my, Bgair.st the day of trial. I wL-h to make n fow re marks wilh regard to ihe course of" the Watchman, on the subject of the next Presidency I know he will receive them in the fame, spirit in which they are made. They are net intended to provoke discussion, but solely witn a view to aid a common cause. The Watchman Jus the Clay flag half unfurled In his paper of DJlh instant, he remaiks 44 we have watched with eager anxiety the demonstrations of ihc two parties in the various quarters of the nation, and we are perfectly a'.ined that the next contest fjr this high office (the Presidency) will be between Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Clay." In the same article is contained the following expression of the Watchman's opinion " Wc believe cj fir as the western part of North Carolina is concern ed, he will receive ihe support of the Whig party." The pignof the times have been noticed by the writer; Jt :s true, he may not be as well qualified as the Watch man to read the-.n, and then to dcclire cr ming even??. I diCer from our neighbor First, it appears to me not quite certain, that Mr. Van Uuren will be h. candidate, et on the contrary most probable ho will not. Where is Mr. Van Baren's strength !

January d, CCr Abolition the r.iinn.Thn Hon. R. R. Rhetf, of S. Carolina, has come out in a Card in the Wash ington papfr.-, ad J rested to his ccn.-titucr.ti-, c.xpluinin and deter.din certain lanuae u.sed by.him in a letter to the DJitor of the Charleston Mercury, written eoon aller t!ie meeting of the Southern members of Congres-s at the Capitol in Washington on the abolition question. In our next, wc will publish this Card, and therefore, will now only glance at its purport. Mr. Illicit, it pectus, had prepared Resolution; to in troduce as a substitute for the Resolutions of the fanatic Sladc, for abolishing Slavery in the District of Colum bia : these I'c?olutions were not clTercd by Mr. Ithett, but their sutatancc t-tated to the KJitorof the Mercury, and thus having drawn forth various comments from northern papers, Mr. II has seen fit to coma out in their defence. The Resolutions are as follows : "and the Constitution of the United States having proved inaderiate to protect the southern Slates in the peaceable enjoyment of their rights and proper ty, it h expedient that the said Constitution sh.iuld be amended, or the Union of the Slates dissolved. " licsohcJ, That n Committee of two members from each State in tiie Union, be appointed V report upon the expediency or practicability of amending t.'ie Con- -r , i.ij, .liiidl-.iricr the Union These are very strong Resolutions indeed, and it is probably well they vvere not offered at the time they were prepared, as the state of excitement amor. the members was such, that much mischief might have been done thereby. But they embrace the tri e groi nd for the South the ground which she will be til'.irnately compelled to takc, or fjive up her vital spark, and we do not see why the position mi;rhl not us well Li: taken one time as another. We have so olen e.xprecred our convictions of the duty cf wiuthcrn men on thi.1; ques tion, that it is needless almost to repeat them. We have ever believed that any petition or memorial pray ing the abolition of slavery in any section of this Union ought in no case to be received by Conn-rcsj : it is a question over which Congress has no i o.ntkol, and one which it ought not to touch, and as soon as a majority of that body decided to receive petitions praying for a violation of the term3 of the Union, of the Constitution, an l the personal rights of the citizen, then the soulurn membrrs at least, should have adopted the Resolutions of Mr. Rlrdt. If we enj y our slave property at all, wc must do it jiiacrahlij, without interference from any quarter but we must enjoy it, and we will the terms are laid down in the Constitution ; if we cannot hM our northern Irethcrn to observe these term, tho quick er a dissolution is had, the better for u. These are onr view?, and wc believe they correspond with the views of a majority cf the thinking- men of the South. CO" SuL-Treasitry lull. On oer first pae will be fiund the Bill reported by the Finance Committee to the Senate of Congress, ft)r reorganizing the Treasury Department to perform the duties of a Tscal arrcr.t to the Government, called the Sub-Treasury Bill. There has as 3'ct, we believe, been no discussion on this Bill; it is given j tst as repc-rted from the Committee. Should it pass it will of course undergo modification. We have had time to examine the Bill only ptrtially ; but a hasty perusal Ins discovered to our mini ?eri us objections to this Bdl not to be found even in that re ported to the extra session. The two pmpnitions arc widely dilTercnt in their features, and until we see the present in the shape in which its friends c::pect it to pass Congress, wc will pass it over in silence. Certain it is, the Bill in its present shape will never lea law. Cyncrress. Although wc devote much cf our space weekly to reports of the proceedings of Congress, yet wc are able to give but a skeleton of the exiting and animatetl, and even .angry debates which have occurred in lhat body. The debates on Mr. Calhoun's Resolu tions were of marked ability and great interest; some of the speeches we intend publishing heretdter. The debate on the Mississippi Contested Election thus far has been characterised with much ability, and a good deal of warmth. The speech of Mr. Prentiss defend ing the claim of himself and Mr. Word to the seats oc cupied by Claiborne and Gholson, lies been spoken of in Imrne and Gholson will hold their seats, in defiance cf law and the expressed will of the people of Mississip- pi. But if so, it will he a finishing stroke to the party in Mississippi. As will be seen cn rcfeience to our report, the Com mittee of Ways and Means have reported a Bill mak ing a special appropriation of l,000,U00 for carrying on the Florida war. The bill was passed almost unan imously, without nny other opposition than that of Mr. Wise, wha seems to take a pride in opposing all appro priations, whether necessary or no for the public safety. 'Ve admire tho inrlopcndence and bold dating of Mr. Wise, and we appreciate his patriotism but the figure Mr. ise cuts ii attenititinir tonne John will d..ul tless pass the I It. use Ti:c Resilu:ion- for the annexation of Texas to the United Stales have t;ot been acted on. acted on. ,mijo. ovprinewaj on of the Co-istitu- It is really no worrier tUut otir nei i a Iititudmanan i:i his co.istructi tion, fir fie iseems to have learned the trade cf constru ing and torturing language and sentences to suit h's p irjiose t j a uicthj. He says in his I;.-t, thai we at tempted to justify a change cf opinion in Mr. Calhoun by charging a sun.br change upii Mr. Ciay. We did nt wish to be understood so.

It will be recollected that this enterprising and public spirited gentleman, who is an honor to our State, was indicited at the last term of Guilford Superior Court, for issuing his own due bills, as change, for convenience, all of which lie redeemed when presented. He was, how ever, convicted by the Superior Court, and appealed to the Supreme Court, where the judgment below has been reversed, and a new trial ordered. 44 Fie .'c.'if rirr This is a new epithet in the voca bulary, and is getting into pretty extensive use lately. Flclchcrized is used to designate a man who has moral ly and politically ustd hims IJ up lied himself todeath --and may also be applied to a party. The term notes its origin from the Hon. Richard Fletcher of Massa chusetts. The Hon. John Clack t one of the Mississippi Senators in Congress, has resigned his seat. Mr. Black is a true southern whig; but will be succeed- ed by a friend of the administration, as that party constitute a majority cf the present Legislature of Mi MS Is ippi. A Bi!l has pafcd the Legislature cf Kentucky for the call of a Convention to amend the Slate Constitu tion, with the express view, if the call for a Convention tie sustained, of abolishing the institution of domestic slavery in that State. We hope it wii' noi tm-ra-u, though 'tis said Mr. Clay is in favor of the measure. Texas LanJ.

It then took through a small skirt of woods, which it uprooted thence, to an opeu space where it concentrated its fury on a bouse belonging to me, occupied by Capts. Maxwell and Nesbitt. The house was of hewn logs, weatherboarded and ceiled, with staunch upper and lower floors, and a substantial brick chimney all of which were com pletely demolished, the sills even, lieing moved se veral feet. Capt. Nesbitt's family, consisting of hia wife and four small children, were huddled up in one corner of the building, aud strange to say, escaped unhurt ! As far as I have heard, no lives are lost.

The object which the authorities of the General Government have in view, we understand, is to ar rest or disperse the force which is understood to have collected on Friday night, if they are found organized or embodied on American soil for hostile prepcratioi.s against Canada.
