(that due on Wednesday) has been received since

relation to the decision on the tariff question in the
Senate of the United States.

and aggravate the tariff.

The Richmond Enquirer etatea they are informed
from respectable authority "that the State Rights par

case the present session uf Congress should terminate
without redressing their wronai" And in a recent
debate in the Senate, Mr. HayW, in a speech replete
with earnestness and eloquence, assured the gentle
mp.n that "the South would never he satisfied with
any thing short of a substantial relief from the op

that" Above all tilings, we desire justice; but, if

strange to tell, tins was known at the time of the re

laid its iron grasp on the object of its lust, in vain may
virtue cry out spare the poor victim. Believing as I
did, anda3 I still continue to believe, that the whole
drama was a shameful usurpation of the executive
prerogative, I ventured so to write to a good Jackson
paper, the editor of which deemed my letter of suffi
cient importance to publish, for which he hasmy

ter if on the suggestion of a Christian, there is in it
one sentence which " savours of impiety" or " blas

myself before the altar, but would most willingly
clothe myself in sackcloth and ashe? I am a firm be
liever in Jesus Christ ; and altho' not practically a
professor of the same, I claim to be theoretically. My
dece ased parents were both, as I have been informed,
exemplary members of the Methodist Episcopal
church, into which by baptism, 1 was admitted as a
member. I have been raised literally in the pale of
that church, and it3 doctrine is my creed and I re
joice in having it m my power to say, that to esta
blish its supremacy, it has never in no one case,
caused the effusion of human blood ; would to God all
could say so. One word more and I have done. I
understand that a communication abusing me, which
lately made its appearance in the Spec, was the pro
duction ol a Clergyman m Newbern. b or the honor
of God and the edification of his church, I hope not.
Good God! is this a sample ol the religion with which
he charges me of prdaning. If it is, from such good

does it present. A minister of the gospel has prost

Mr. Editor,
It is a fact universally admitted and de

the commercial and agricultural condition of this
Edenton and Elizabeth City, and the produce de
scending the Neuse, Pamlico, Roanoke, &c. have
been paying tribute long enough to the Swash, and
we rejoice that a prospect is before us of reaching the
ocean untaxed.
I have thus briefly considered the means tnht npd
for the removal of the first cause of our ills; in my
next, other matters equally important, will receive a
passing notice. MERCATOR.
The city of New-Orleans, which has for some years
past been extending itself gradually up the river, is
about to receive a new impetus, from the purchase
by a company of enterprising individuals of the plan
tation 44 Li vaiukxis," for the sum of $450,000 cash. It
is to be divided into lots, and will probably net a
handsome profit to those concerned.

pile could be constructed in this State for. about $4000
..T mile, which would yield 10 percent on the money

the immense benefit which they would unquestionably
derive from a Central Rail Road from Beaufort to the
mountain. we are convinced they would come for
v.ird mid lend their aid to its accomplishment.
Vtarlv the wlmlt; produce, of their labour goes now

the gooJa they buy of them and which they seli

work could be easily accomplished, were it underta
this state of things, at a few of which, I propone very
briefly, to take a glance. One of the chiefeauses of
the depression which exists in this part of the State,
may be placed to the obstructions to our navigation.
An investigat ion was madea few years ago by a com
mittee of gentlemen appointed for that purpbsc, as to
the amount of loss which was occasioned to the State
by the want of a sufficient outlet to the ocean. . The
committee was composed of practical men, and their
calculations were no doubt very nearly correct,-and if
they erred, it was most probably in underrating the
amount of loss. They estimated the annual loss to
the State from the obstructions to the navigation, -at
one Million of Dollars. This burden upon tiie in
dustry of a community, one would supjiose, was enough
to make our Legislators look about them for some
;neans to relieve its citizens; yet, wonderful to be told,
our legislature, to remove this evil, has never expen
ded one cent. But to proceed. One other cause of
the depression of this State, may be attributed to the
laws pasoetl by Conoress, for the protection of domes
tic or northern labor, to the consequent injury ul

COMMUNICATIONS.

Mr. Watson,
You will confer a favour on a friend by
inserting this communication, which I humbly-eon-ceive
is imperiously demanded in justification of my
private character, which has been most wantonly
and unceremoniously attacked through the columns
of a scurrilous paper issued in your town, edited by
ichom I know not. If the low billingsgate hitherto
employed by that print to traduce my character, was
confined exclusively to the'-limiitsofthe district I have
the honor to represent, I should not only deem "'y Southern labo
notice oi it on my part as degrading to myself, but an
insult to the. common understanding of all who are
acquainted with the agency of that press and the pur
poses for which it is1 employed to abuse 'me. lam

I am placed by stooping to notice anonymous com

"Can the Foreign Powers, and will they, make
War upon us?" discusses the Uue amount of

solve the question of war or peace, since with

The tax which the Swash imposes upon this State,

the powers of the first, and by their united labours,
should the work be pursued vigorously, we may con
fidently expect that the obstructions will be removed
by the close of the ensuing fall. Is it not astonishing
that a great State, like North Carolina, possessing
her resources, and with the examples of the gigantic
efforts of her sisters of the Union, in works of internal
Improvement before her, that she should have suffered
a yearly loss of a million of dollars, and be shut out
irom a highway to the ocean, fjy an oosirucuou oi
four hundred yards of sand ! ! What think you,
Mr. Editor, would such an obstruction be in the hands
of the New Yorkers 1 When they constructed their
splendid canal, which now bears upon its bosom, tor
hundreds of miles, the rich treasures of their little
empire to the commercial Emporium of the Union,
they did not go cap in hand, and beg the General
Government for the .ney. They relied upon their
own.rftsnnrr.pfl. nnd the. v. succeeded. The deepening
of the Swash is, however, a National object, as it
will facilitate the ingress and egress of the vessels ol
all quarters of the. Union; and our legislators may
have supposed that it was better for the good citizens
of North Carolina to bear the small burden of a mil
lion'per annum, than to hazzard in removing it, the
sum of fifty thousand dollars! ', which , amount will
probably effect the object. So we have, an outlet to
the ocean, we will not quarrel about the means em
ployed in its accomplishment ;but should this consum
mation of our wishes fail, by reason of the lnciiieiency
of the exertions now in progress, we confidently trust
that the next Legislature will extend its aid to relieve

The commerce of Newbern, Washington, Plymouth,
bringing all her resources into play, and con
tending for her very existence, "she was never
able to set on foot more than 316,000, men, in
cluding all ner garrisons and corps de reserve."
The troops which were marched in the last
campaign against Turkey, did not amount to
more than 158,000, men; and of the 200,000
supposed to have been "plunged into the abyss
of the Polish war, Paskewitch, after the fall of
Warsaw, could scarcely reckon on more than
90,000.
Beneath the calculations of the Constitution

effective force of the Russian army establish
ment, shrink into inefficiency from the vast ex
tent of the desert empire over which thev are
spread, which, in some points, reckons "only
three inhabitants to the square mile, where thel
social strength constantly decreases as it ap
proaches the centre as the vital strength di
minishes in proportion as ft approaches the

even supposing her means to be undervalued in

after having gained her principal object in thc
reuuction ot Poland. As to Prussia, many of
me same motives lor peace might be assigned
to her; and it is asserted, in private correspon

old king of Prussia, instructed by the ca
lamities of the last struggle, is indisposed to
replunge. Europe, in conflict, though there is a
party in his dominions of opposite views.
What can Austria wish' more than she now has
accomplished in Italv? And what can any of
the Powers expect from rousing the spirit of
France, which would find an ally in that of so
many subject provinces, imperfectly reconciled
to a virtually foreign dominion, and fomenting
with the Drinciple of Liberalism. England has
