Amongst the crowd, assembled the other day to wit ness the leaving of the Rail Road Train (for it promi ses to be a full ninat days' j wonder) we observed CoL Peiio Wbitx, the furmer Editor of the M Standard.1 He had stationed himself,, where he supposed he would have s good view, of the Train, but discovering his error as it moved off. he remarked audibly-- I; am on the wrong side I can't see.' A ready-witted Whig, standing by, immediately exclaimed You have al waytbeenin fAosiuoion, Colonel, since I knew you. Soon after, speaking with a gentleman about Rail Road investments, iand the erroneous opinion enter- tained generally of their exceeding profitableness, the quondam Editor (nw a fat Office holder) illustrated his ideas by reference to What he conceived an analo gous case. Sir," said he to the gentleman, u the same incorrect opinion exists with regard . to the lucrative nets of Federal Offices; for those who consider them I y so valuable, lose sight altogether of the laborious duties which are performed and which are more than an equiv alent for the emoluments received." But said the gen tleman, whom the Col. addressed, "in estimating the profits of an office, you lose sight of what makes it so valuable, via : the perquisites, the chief of which is the privilege of stealing just what the incumbenrpleaaes." . The Col. looked grave for a moment, and then started . off with a full head of steam. PxB VOSTTBA. On the night the Cars, first arrived, there was a pret- ty considerable jollification.

" CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP. we learn rrom varbus sources, that our informant aid not err in judgment, as to. the powerful character of the 8peech deUTered by Mr. MIklt, in reply f to Judge SAvwBxitv at 8mithfieldt or of iu probable ef. feet It wai triumphant vindication of the ''piinc pies of Ute Whig&Tand of their candidate; and a mas terly refutation of the sophistries of the Administration candidate. Among other charges brought against the Whigs, we learn that Judge 8aitxbxs was indiscreet enough to arraign them as the advocates of a splendid system of Internal ImproyemenU, . to carry out which they would impose taxes on the people, in the shape of pansthat he was opposed to aQ such . visionary schemes, &c How must the Judge . have looked and felt, when Mr. Manly reminded him of the famous Me morial drawn up by him as the organ of the Internal Improvement Convention of 1838, in which a 8tate loan of Tbbxx Miuiosa is recommended for purpo- of Internal Improvement! What a guluble set the people must be, in Judge Sachs kbs' estimation t There has not been ir North Carolina a rfiore decided advocate of Internal Improvements, than he has. been. and we have always fell respect for his services in the cause. . Is it possible, that ifor the sake of obtaining a few votes, he could so far play the demagogue as to chime in with the vulgar prejudices of the day, and swallow his own words, over and often deliberately ut tered! His defence of the system of Internal Im provements, contained in the Memorial written and presented by him to the Legislature, is both able and eloquent ; nd his appeals to the wisdom and patriot ism of the Legislature, to adopt the plan recommended, are as strong as any ever made by the lamented Mum- raxr. ' And yet, m the teeth of such a recent demon stration of his sentiments, not only to repudiate them, but to bring the advocacy of them as a serious charge .i . i against otnersi . u O heaven ! were man Contistenthe were perfect ; that one error Fills him with. faults.' -j Lest we should be accused of exaggerating Judge Saubbxbs' ardor in the cause of Internal Improve ments, we subjoin the main Resolution of the Con vention, and a few brief extracts from his Report ' M Resohsd, that in order to carry out the views of the Convention, and at the same time to accommodate them to the means and ability of the State, a Loan of thbkx xiuioss of Dollars ought to be contracted." . - To secure the favorable consideration of the Legis lature to this recommendation of the Convention, a Committee was appointed to memorialize the Legisla ture, of which Judge Sauhdkbs was Chairman. From his admirable paper, we take the' following passages If we look to our sister States, most of them will be found in the march of improvement, and their citi zens contented and happy. t Yet, they have resorted to loans ; and experience proves, so far from ending in injury to the people, they have the more rapidly ad- vancexl to wealth and prosperity. And this too, with out any resort to taxes ; the profits from the works having been quite sufficient to meet the interest and provide a fund for the payment of the principal. South Carolina has but recently subscribed one million to her great rail road, guaranteed the loan of two millions more, and by way of relief to her favorite city from a heavy calamity, added two millions more to her debt. But we forbear to press this matter further, as it is idle to talk of embarrassing the State by contracting a debt of three millions of dollars. If our forefathers, with not half of our means, lim ited as they are, when dissention, faction, and treason lurked in every neighborhood ; when the property of the citizen was lilble to seizure by the enemy and to wanton destruction by the traitor, when the assassin beleaguereih path by day and threatened his repose by night ; if, at such a tune, and under such curcum- rr .i.Ti r . - . ,j u . : stances, that band of patriot! could bear up for a peri od of seven years, under a debt - of seventy-five mill ions, let us not talk of embarrassment by the sum pro- posed, having, as the State has, the ability to raise it without prejudice to her citizens, but whether she, in her sovereign capacity, shall engage in a system of this kind at all. And can we, at such a period as this, with all the light of experience before us, be seri ously called upon to discuss such a question 1 j Will you leave these matters to individual enterprise, when every State in the union has undertaken the system with so much success 1 ' At the close of the memora ble struggle to which . we have just referred. North Carolina had her territory and her population. Her territory still remains Mecklenburg, Moor s Creek, King's Mountain, and Guilford are landmarks which time cannot raze from the page of history. But where is her population 1 Where the monuments of her im provement 1 Her population is last leaving her, and her monuments, we fear, are only to be found in the record of the past, Is this state of things to continue T Ur are we ever to be roused to action ? It is much to be feared, if you shall separate without doing any thing, the cause of internal improvement wilfhave sustained a shock from which it will be difficult to recover. I he patriotic lee ling which now warms and animates the citizens will become chilled by your apathy. It is our part, in the name of a respectable portion of the peo ple, to advise ; it is for you to act, -By rejecting the plan proposed, and doing nothing, you may seal the fate of internal improvements. Uy. acting, you incur no risk that can, in any reasonable probability, embar rass the Stale. But you stay the tide of emigration, now draining the life-blood of the commonwealth; you stimulate the farmer to new exertion and improve ment; you invite the capitalist to open the rich bow els of the earth and to bring forth its hidden treasury of iron, copper, and coal ; you every where encourage the mechanic and the man of enterprise ; you open new streams of wealthy running in different directions, in different dimensions, and at different heights but watering, adorning and fertilizing the fields and mea dows through which their courses are led. Again, we ask, can you hesitate 1 We tell you the spirit for improvement is abroad in the land- that it invites you to waken to the true interest of the State to burst thfl haakUa of a iealous and short-siirhted nolicv to rise triumphant over physical obstacles and sail stron- I srer mounds of local Dreiudice and bv vour action, to . v 7 5.

We learn that the roof of this far-famed Palace is now known to be so extensively dryrotteA, that the pre sent Incumbent is determined to remove from thence, early in the ensuing year.

The death, howevefpf a Whig and the choice of a Loco Foco 'in his. plaii, secured to the Administration the ascendancy, in' ae Legblature, and enabled the party to elect Juc(re Stbabob to the 8enate of the United States, (in toe place of Mr. Mabodm) who reached Washingtori jtt in time to disgrace himself and his constituents, fjy voting for the Expunging Resolution. -i -:- It will hus be seen what important results spring, sometimes, from apparently insignificant cause. T W circumstances in question also strongly illustrate tle value of a single vote, and sho w the importance of a uniform construction of the Constitution, as to qualification of voters. ' if The question arises 'f Were these voters property- set aside v . u;eruuniy. not. At the last Sumnter, Term of the 8upreme Court, it was expressly decided in the case of Roberts y Cannon, that according to a proper construction of the 8th Section of the Constitu tion, a residence for twelve months, in any vartohKi " "-apt State, is sufficient to authorize a vote for Mem5brijf the House "of Commons, in the County in which jpe' voter is resident on the day of election, and. that tJVe residence for that period need not be in the same Coin! ty in which the vote is offered. ' Of course, the rejU ed votes ought to have been polled, in which e;'jht 'North Carolina might not, now, be so shamefully t;.u represented, as she is, by her accidental Senators. fl M- ABUSE OF LAWYERS. A very stupid and unwarrantable prejudice exists; in this land of freedom, against the members generally; of profession With a certain class, a Lawyer and a knave are almost synonymous terms ; and tn.e outcry against their avarice and extortion is particular ly unanimous and loud. It may be rather an unpop nlar avowal, but in our opinion, no body of men, com bining so much talent, integrity and honorable feeljng is so unsparingly abused; and all this, merely because it happens to be afflicted, like all other professions! or callings, with unworthy members. The professior ss however, in no danger from such vulgar prejudices The very class of people, who have most to say abt Lawyers, are always the first to seek their assUtainse when they get in trouble. Lawyers are the "the de with them, and no abuse is high-seasoned enough, reputation or property is endangered; and tint - t. . T forsooth, if they are unable to pay a Lawyer his l ie his services will be nought as matter of Charity. Tb'Sre: are some well-meaning persons; who join in the abuser of profession, without due reflection or inquiryfU . .... t . . j, fnr ttx- to whether there be any foundation for their prejudi- ces. i We would ask such, who were the most efficient; instruments in bringing about the Independence o! United 8tates? Were they not Lawyers? The Drr' laration of Independence was penned by a Lawyer aj large majority of the body which adopted and decla-jid,. it to the world, were also Lawyers ; and all our Prt - dents, with one exception, were members of the Jsr, The prejudice cannot, we dare say, be eradicated, t.ut it is unjust; for the general body of the professionals composed of men of the highest honor and integrity. LOUISIANA WHIG CONVENTION. The Whig State Convention for Louisiana, assem bled at New Orleans, in the Hall of the House of Rep resentatives, on the 4th inst, Gen. Paitxxox Thojc- as presided on the occasion. Resolutions, cordiay responding to the nominations of Habbisox and Ti xbb, were adopted, and the greatest enthusiasm pre-' vailed. Louisiana is safe for the Hero of Tippecanoe. When the Convention was about to clow it labors, the venerable President, Gen. Thoxas, rose and ad dressed the meeting as follows : , :. Gentlemen I am an old man; ah old Whig! (cheers.) I have borne arms under the W big flag 61 years ago. (Great applause.) Part of that time I fought under it with powder and ball. But with the war I did not lav down my arms. I have foueht un der it since with the tongue and many a hard baiei have I been in even with tbis.weapon. (Cheers.) It was Whiggery, gentlemen, that' won your Inte-l nendence. Th name of Whiff has of late been criid '1 down. Why ? Because it is another name for liber-1 ty. Your old fathers were Whigs, every one of them. (Applause.) ' ?1 Stick to the vessel, gentlemen, as long as a plarjk is I left. Never give up the old Whig ship. (Cheers.)

In July, 1838, a whole family of five, women and children, named White! sold their effects there and set out to join their commol head in the South.

Yesterday, after the failure of a motion of Mr. Rari- ii t tr" w w "M iw uw purpose wnwna uie ruie 01 ue nouse, ior tne purpose was suspended on Monday at the 8tate of Indi- the Speaker announced the uoiinished business of the morning hour to be, the Resolution for . some time udder consideration in relation to the printing of cer tain documents connected with the-New Jersey elec- tlon.l. V '.i; ffSfC ; : ; I Wfr. BoUs accordingly resumed his 8peech on the subject, and had not closed it when the hour expired.'' Mr.- B. expressed a wish that the House would per mit him to close his remarks but Mr. Jones inristed on the House again going into a Committee of the whole on the Treasury note bill, and it did so ; when Mr. Trumbull being entitled to the, floor spoke at length in opposition to the' bill. ' After Mr Trumbull had concluded his remarks, ne was followed by Mr. Evans, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. NisbeuV The latter gentle man offered an amendment to the bill, providing that tile notes shall bear ' an fnterest of not less than two, nor more than six per cent. ' . Mr. Biddle obtained the floor, but 'yielded it to Mr. Habersham, to offer an amendment to make the notes negotiable by endorsement only. r Mr. Biddle then addressed the Committee in oppo sition to the bill. When he concluded, Mr. Smith, of Maine, moved that the Committee rise ; but the Chair decided the motion was not in order, as an amend ment was pending. Mr. Barnard sent several amendments to the Clerk's table to bo read. The question was then taken on Mr. Nisbet's amendment, which was negatived with out a count Mr. Warren then obtained the floor. Mr. Craig wished him to defer bis speech, and let the Committee rise, and report the bill to the House. Mr. Warren refused, and proceeded to address the Committee in opposition to the bill. Mr. Barnard next rose, and, after complaining of the precipitancy of its friends, of forcing so important a bill through the Committee, claimed his right to de- Bate the bill ; but that he was at present unable to do so from physical inability, having taken no food for fifteen . hours. . Ho thereupon moved that the Com mittee rise' and report progress. ' v The vote' was taken and negatived 93 to 53. Mr. Barnard attempted to proceed to address the Committee ; when cries of " Question" " Question" drowned every other sound. The Chairman having, at length, restored order, Mr. B. again remonstrated against the oppression 4f insisting upon passing so important a measure without allowing it to be fully discussed, and again moved that the Committee, rise and report progress. The question was put, when there appeared 10 yeas, and 85 nays, which was less than a quorum, and went for nothing:. Several members insisted that there was a quorum of members in the House, and enquired whether they could not be forced to vote. The Chair stated, that in all eases of mis kind, the proper course was for the Committee to rise, and re- i f port to the Speaker the matter of fact. The Commit tee accordingly rose, and reported, when a quorum of members appeared. This being the case, the Speaker again called the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole to take the Chair. The Committee then, pro ceeded with the business until another question was taken, when it again appeared there was no quorum, and in this manner, the House was kept in session, all night of Tuesday, until Wednesday evening at five o'clock, continuing taking questions, ordering calls of the House, taking yeas and nays, &c when, some ar rangement being entered into that the bill should be jreported to the House on Thursday, the Committee rose and the Housa adjourned after a sitting of 29 hours, probably the most extraordinary legislative ses sion that ever occurred in this or any other country. It was evidently an obstinate struggle between the Whigs, who desired to debate the bill, and the friends of the Administration, who wished to force it out of the Committee of the whole, and bring it into the House, where the debate could at once be stopped by the " Previous Question," and the bill put on its pas sage. Both parties, it may be presumed, were suffi ciently wearied with the contest. The Whigs suc ceeded in preventing the bill from going to the House during that sitting ; but it is expected the question will be settled, and the bill passed on Thursday. The Senate, after receiving a few petitions and re ports, went into the consideration of Executive busi ness, and sat with closed doors the remainder of the day. . s . Among the Resolutions presented to the House on Monday, was one by Mr. Chittenden, in relation to 1 the Franking privilege; which produced some excite ment amongst the members. It appears that the Clerk of the House had made a "communication to some mem bers (a copy of which had been published in the Globe of the 21 st inst) charging them not only with gross violations of official duty, but with either forging his name, or obtaining it from him by means of misrepre sentation, for the purpose of transmitting by mail packa ges, consisting of blank franks, under the frank of "riuga wariana, iierx, wiin uie inienuon u cneai and defraud the revenue. Mr. Chittenden's resolu tion, preceded by a preamble stating the above facts, proposed the appointment of a committee to investi gate the charges contained in said communication, and report to the House, giving to said committee power to send for persons d- papers. After some debate, questions were taken separately, first on the Resolution and then on the Preamble; the former was passed unanimously, and the latter was rejected, 92 to 71. ' lb appears that the Act of 1825, conferred on the Clerk in common with Members of Congress, the pri vilege of franking letters and packets not exceeding two ounces, excepting only documents printed by or der of either House; and the only change in the law made by the Act of 1827 was, to remove the limita tion of two ounces on the Clerk s frank, so that he may now send and receive by mail packets hot exceeding three pounds. And though the Clerk has no authori ty, by this Act, to frank any packets for Members, it seems to have been a common practice of both the pre sent Clerk and his predecessors, when asked to do so, and until now, no objections have been made to it, and members have, in this way .sent bundles of their Speech es, and other political papers, for distribution amongst .a i!i a ' uxeir coiLsuvuciiMs v On Wednesday, the Senate sat most of the day with closed doors on Executive business. A few memori als were received, and some Report of Committees made. Mr. Norvell introduced a' bill fixing. the time of meeting of the next session of Congress on the seo ' ' rr j r i . r onu A uesasy m jtioreupet next. i WAsaisTOTOT, March 28.

Mr. Duncan: (who held the floor from yesterday) proceeded to address the Committee, and closed his re marks about half past 4 o'clock.' ; Mr. Underwood, after a few remarks, offered an amendment to ithe bm, which went to prohibit the Sec retary of the Treasury from making deposits in any Banks of Treasury notes, allowing such Banks to draw the interest, to be checked against by him; ior from using said notes in any other manner as a means of raising a loan thereon, lor exposing them to sale, Requiring him to " issue them! to bona tide creditors of fthe Govern ment onlyV " -j : .

After him Mr. Monroe, Mr. Pickens and R. Garland addressed the Committee. At the close of Mr. Garland's remarks, Mr. Graves ob tained the floor; but after making a few preliminary remarks on the lecture which Mr. Pickens had given the Committee; on : violent political appeals, he gave way to Mr. Bel, who expressed a-hope that both sides would consent that the Committee rise, and make the bill the special order for to-morrow. He thought the incidents of the debates of to-day required and would justify this course. - r; . After a wrangling debate till midnight (Mr. Graves still having a right to the floor) the course proposed by Mr. Bell was adopted. The Senate was again on-Thursday, principally en gaged on Executive business. A few memorials were received, and the Committee on Naval Affairs made an unfavorable report on the memorial of ithe Admin istrator of John; B. Fanning; late Purser in the Navy.

He will, no doubt, materially aid the Whig cause; for, independent of the fact, thatj he wields a vigorous pen, his former intimate association with Mr. Yah Bubix) has given him, no doubt,! a clear insight to that gentleman's political character, and the; true springs of action which govern all his acts.

It was understood, that a Whig meeting bad been held in Orange during1 , the last week, which had appointed Delegates to meet the Delegates from' Granville and Person ; but that it was not known to the Orange meeting that any day had been fixed upon for the meeting of the Delegates in Convention, and that the absence of the Delegates from that county, was to be ascribed to that circum stance alone. Upon this account, the; Convention determined to postpone the selection of the Whig candidate for Elector of this District, until the last Saturday of next month, when it is confidently ex pected there will be a full attendance of Delegates from all the counties composing the Electoral District.- .

Tat. Washington, that Af r. Fix, the British Min ister has respectfully declined any further correspondence with the; Secretary of State, until he receives further advices fronv his government, and that he has written home, in no pleasant mood, for instructions as to his future course: It will be remembered that the last notes that passed between Mr Fox and Mr. Forsyth, yverie rather far, and left the diplomatists completely , at issue as to matters of fact. In the mean time, a regi ment of U. S. Artillery has been ordered on to Maine, which is now em its march to the frontier.
