If it were the general sentiment, then, as he
believed it to be, that the Administration ought
to.be supported against personal or groundless
opposition the question r was, now snouia tnat
support he rendeted ? Speaking in reference to
parties tliat had leretofore existed in the Com
monwealth, were the parties to unite, and to
actJwUh concert and effect, or were they still to
preserve towards each other an attitude o cold
ness and distance, if no of hostility, although
their sentiments and objects were now acknow
ledged to be the same ? For his own part, he
thought such a question answered in the very
stating of it. ' Could there be a case in which"
union was motii necessary, or disunion more
senseless - Jt was said, indeed, that p'arties had
existed. in the Commonwealth for thirty years
that theyhad differed on leading public ques-tions-that
these difTerences had gone deep and
wide-rand that, therefore, it would be impracti
cable now to reconcile them. If the premises
be true, let not the conclusion be too hastily, ad
itted. .. What was the nature of these differen
ces ?On what did this distinction of parties rest?
They were not distinct orders in the State, with
separate and unequal privileges, i- They were
not the Patrician, and Popular parties of Rome,
nor the feudal or landed interest, arrayed against
the, mercantile and industrious classes, as in
some modern States. . In these last instances,
there were permanent grounds of difference, a
tising from. opposing interests. Our differences,
on the contrary, have been mere differences of
opinion, upon questions of Government, and on
its public measures. The rich and the poor, the
learned ; and unlearned, the powerful and the
feeble, were found on both sides of these ques
tions! Now, if the subjects which caused these
differences still exist- if there still be ground for
consciencious opposition , of opinion, then of
course, it ought to continue. Men were not to
"I,,luu men ui
be persuaded to go where; if-they did so, they
must leave their honesty , behind them, s He
would be the Jast to sacrifice, himself, or invite
others to sacrifice, a consciencious opinion. But
what was the fact ? Did these grounds of con
troversy still subsist Most assuredly they did
not. The two great parties which had V so long
divided the country, had their origin almost con
temporaneously with the Constitution itself.

standing with England, and the general embar
rassment of our foreign relations, leading to a
commercial non-intercourse, embargo, and final
ly to war these were the great topics on wihch
parties had been divided. It was quite obvious
that, as practical questions, all these had ceased
to exist. -' . 3
Shpuld we not expose ourselves to some de
gree of derision, if, forgetting the things which
are around us, and before us, and which immedi
ately concern us, we should employ our tongues,
our pens, and our presses, upon any one of the
topics to which he had alluded And was it a-
ny more wise in us, because we had differed on
those topics, to resolve that we would not now
unite in a regard to those objects in respect to
which our sentiments, our wishes, and our hopes,
were the same t It was quite obvious to him.
that the Administration could onlv be supported
on its awn principles. When the president came
io iiiin.
into office, he stated .f rank ly and honestly, tha.t,
in his opinion, a sacrifice of party feeling and par-
ty-prejudice' was to be made. His sentiments
had been nl, and his words emphatic. . Setting:
out upon t'tw. basis, how could it be sa
jjjj that tile
Admini-;ration was supported by those who,
while they professed friendship for it, denounc
ed and proscribed others, who felt as' much
fi-iendsliip for it as themselves. For his own
part, be thought it no want of charity to distrust
such pretensions. '
; How was it to be expected of men, who had
no',; more interest than others in the matter, that
they would be billing to breast the Opposition
with which the Administration was assailed, if at
th same time they and their friends were to be
held as objects "of distrust and jealousy, and
made the subjects of a narrow, selfish, and ex
clusive, policy ? Had we not seen enough of
the result of such a course ? In alluding to the
inaugural sentiments. of the President, he did
not mean to say, that they were any other than
might have been expected, from either of the o
ther candidates. Most of them, if not all, he be
lieved, had expressed similar sentiments. Cen.
tainly the distinguished citizen, who is a candi
date in opposition, had expressed such senti
.nents. i'hey Twere the necessary result of - e
tents. " Differing in many other things, all par
ties had agreed in "welcoming the peace of 1815.
The French revolution, with all its sympathies
and its antipathies, was then at an end. Our
nwh foreign relations were amicably adjusted, &
the . aliment of. party was consumed. So appa
rent was this, that he recollected to have heard
a gentleman, equally distinguished for quick per
ception and forcible expression, say, at the mo
ment' of the peace, alluding to the manner in
which corporations are sometimes dissolved,
' each of the two parties will now break its com
mon seal." 1
' it was said to be lawful to learn from an ene

the; present subject. : If Mr. Chairman were to
imagine two leading gentlemen in the Opposi

HEAD'S JOURNEY.
The notice of the U. S. Revikw and
Literary Gazette of Head's Journey
across the Pampas and Jlndes " of South
America, is an interesting article, and will
excite a desire to peruse the work it lite-"
rally and justly commends. As a speci
meiKof the work we extract the following
lively description of the difficult pass ige of
the traveller with mnles and the Indian
guides Guichos over one of the most dan
gerous passes in the Andes.
The passage of the Andes.
" As I was looking up at the region of
snow, and as my mule was scrambling a
long the steep side of the rock, the capa
taz overtook me; and asked me if I chose
to come on, as he was going to look at ! the
Lad era de las yaccas, to see if it was pas
sible, before the mules came to it.
He accordingly trotted on, and in half

pass in ine oruiiiera. ine mountain a
bove appears almost perpendicular, and in
one continued slope down to the rapid tor
rent which is raging underneath. The
surface is covered with loose earth and
stones, which have been brought down" bv
the water. The path goes across this
slone. and is very bad for about seventv

which comes down from the top of the
mountain, either washes the, path away, or
covers it over with loose stones. Werode
over it, and it certainly was narrow & bad.
In some places the rock almost touches
one's shoulder, while the precipice is un
mediately under the opposite foot, and
high above the he;id are numbers of large
loose stones, which appear as it the slight
est touch would send them rolling into the j
.torrent beneath, which is . foaming and
rushing with great violence. 1 However,
the danger to the rider is only imaginary,
for the mules are so careful, and seem so
well aware of their situation, that there is
no chance of their making a false step
I . , i t i

get down to the water place about a hun
dred yards, and wait there with hisJossa to
catch any mule that might fall into the tor
rent, and he requested me to lead on his
mule. 1 However, I was resolved to see
the tumble,if there was to be one y so the,
capitaz took away my mule and his own,
and, while I stood on a projecting rock on
the end ot the pass, he scrambled down on
foot, till he at last "ot to the water.
' The drove of mules now came in sight,
one Following another ; a few were carry
ing no burdens, but the rest were either
mounted or heavy laden, and, as they
wound along the crooked path, the differ
ence of color in the animals, the different
colors and shapes of the baggage they were
carrying, with the picturesque dress of the
peon, who were vociferating the wild song
Dy which they drive on the mules, and the
sight of the dangerous path . they had to
cross -formed altogether a very interest
ing scene. ,
" As soon as the leading mule cams to
the commencement of the pass, he; stop
ped, evidently unwilling to proceed, aud
of course all the rest stopped also.
He was the finest mule we had, and
on that account had twice as much to
carry as any ot the others ; his load had
never been relieved, as it consisted of fmir
pbrtmanteaus, two of which belonged to
me, and wnich contained not only a very
heavy bag of dollars, but also papers,
capers. I

the mules all have to join the troop, or

Ji valuable Plantation fn Wake.
-
THAT valuable Farm, lately- known by the
namejof West-Hill, lying on both sides of
Swift Sc Williams's Creeks, adjoining the Plan
tation of Governor Branch, about nine miles from
Raleigh, on the Road to Haywood, settled ori
ginally by Joseph lAine, the Grandfather, of .the
late occupant of that name, at a .time when' far
mers had choice of the best lands in the country';
The whole Tract of land contains T vo Thou
sand Two Hundred and , Twenty, acres -near
1200 "of which' is prime ' land -a considerable
portion of it fine low grounds." The residue, is
well-t:mbered long-leaved Pine Land,iand is sup
posed to afford the best range for cattle and
hogs in the county. The farm under cultivation
is between 3 and 400 acres, on which there is
a tolerably good Dwelling-House, arid other out-
ouildings, on as ban Isome and healthful a site
as can be found in the county, or perhaps in the
atase. i nere is -a smau urist-Miu, wiuen is con-
venient for family and neighbourhood purposes.
The farm is in good order, and that and the
land may viewed, on application to Mr. Tho
mas Howell, on the premises ; and the terms of
sale, which will be accommodating, ' -will be
made known on apotication to J. Gales.' r '

NEW FERRY. - r
nnHE Subscriber has established a Ferry from
JI C-ishoke to Plymouth ; also land Convey
ance from Cashoke to Webb's Ferry, on Salmon
Creek.. Persons ttavelling between ' Edeiitoiv
and Plymouth, may now avoid the disagreeable-
ness ot the long and tedious water passage, ui
rectly across the Sound by way of the mouth of
Koanoke River.
Considering the certainty and safety of this !
route, compared to the one on the Sound, where-
head winds, dangerous and "boisterous weather,
are so frequently experienced,-' it is believed,
when generally known, it will be preferred. ?
The charge for the Ferriage, will be' sixty
ceuls, and forthe conveyance by land, fifty cents.
