THE SENTIKELi.
XEWBERN:
FRII)AVtJU.VE15, 1832.
tf- We are authprized to announce HENRY W.
THOMPSON, Esq. a candidate to represent the
county of On3low in the Senate of the next General
Assembly.
From Europe. Bythe arrival of the Rhip Tally
Ho, at New York, advices from Liverpool to the 9th
May have been received. The most important intel
ligence is .that of the defeat of the Ministers of Eng
land, upon an amendment to the Reform Bill, by a
majority against them of thirty-five votes, which was
considered as decisive of its fate, except a large crea
tion of Peers be made to carry it through. It was
expected that the names of sixty new Peers would
be immediately announced. The further considera
tion of the Bill was postponed to the 10th May. The
Cholera was rapidly disappearing in both London
and Paris. The situation of the Prime Minister of
France was such as to render his return to the direc
tion of the affairs of his Department, entirely hope
less. A large British Squadron was assembling at
Portsmouth, destined for Portugal. The Carlist plots
in France ''had been discovered and suppressed. It
had created considerable disturbance. Everv thing
was quiet at the last accounts. The Liverpool Cot
?on market . was steady.
Neics from the Seat of War. An express lias ar
rived at Washington City from the seat of war, and
confirms the previous accounts of the discomfiture of
41 party of militia. Official reports state 12 killed and
12 wounded, in the skirmish near Sycamore Creek.
.Universal alarm prevails upon the Illinois frontier,
and mounted troops were preparing to march from
Cincinnati to the protection of the citizens in that
quarter. Letters from the seat oi war stated that
the Indians were scalping men, women, and chil
dren. Black Hawk, the leader of the Indians, is said
to be fearless and daring, even beyond the accustomed
valour of his -race. They may, by their sudden
irruptions um defenceless and unsuspecting neigh
bourhoods, cause much blood to flow, but just as sure
as the sun is in the heavens, they will be paid back
with a fearful retribution. Many thousand men are
already under arms, and by the next accounts, we ex
pect to hear of the repulsion and flight of the savages
principle as may allay discontent and restore harmony
to the different sections of the country, is essential for the
preservation oi peace and union.
4 Resolved, I hat this important object can not be ef
fected otherwise tban bv sincere mutual deference and
concession, evinced by great sacrifice of opinion and ol
interest on noth sides ; by acquiescence in special piotec
tion to certain branches of industry on the one hand, mid
on the other by an abandonment of exorbitant protecting
duties, and of the roost obnoxious aud oppressive provi
sions of thf svstem.
6. Resolved, Without pretending tf decide what am'nt
of revenue is adequate, to defray the expenses and to
meet the exuencs of government, that reduction oi
the existing duties to that extent is essential, under any
modication of the Tariff, to preserve the undivided confi
dence of the people in the general Govern;.en'
6. Resolved. 'fat the proceeding of this meeting, cer
tified by the President. Vice Presidents, and Secretaries,
with a copy of the notification calling it together, be trans
mitt-d by them to the Senators of this state, and Repre
sentatives of this city in Congress, with a request that
the same may be laid before both houses, and that they
will themselves endeavor to effect a settlement in the spirit
and upon the principles before recommended.
This meeting cannot fail to be productive of the
most beneficial effects. All must admit, that it is
essential for the peace and harmony of thejsountry,
and the preservation of the Uunion, that there be,
at the present session of Congress, such a modifica
tion of the Tariff as will " allay discontent" The
members of Congress from New York, ought not to
disregard this expression of the feeling of their most
enlightened and patriotic constituents. They can
not, and ought not to expect the South to support
Mr. Van Buren, should they go against us in a crisis
like the present. If we did not believe Mr. V. B. to
be in favor of a large reduction of the present sys
tem of taxation, we should oppose his nomination,
and if New York would secure the votes of Virginia
and North Carolina, she must vote for a modification
of the Tariff.
James Madison vs. John Q. Adams. Mr. Ad
ams, in his Report upon the Tariff, invests Congress
with unlimited powers. He says that the words " to
provide lor the common defence and general welfare,"
are" substantive grants of power, trusts to be execu
ted," and therefore, whatever Congress in its omni
potence, may think the general welfare requires, it
has the power to do. Now this doctrine is downright
monarchical ; and his tormer avowal ol snch senti
ments, caused him to be set aside by the Republicans.
They could not regard the government as safe ,-n the
hands of a man entertaining such principles. We
hope the " general welfare," politicians, when they
read the letter of Mr. Madison, which we publish to
day, and to which the attention ol our readers is invi
ted, will no longer avow doctrine so utterly at vari
ance with the intention and spirit of the Constitution.
' The Central Rail Road. We are gratified in
"being able to announce to our mountain friends, that
there is a prospect of considerable subscriptions in the
lowland counties ' About fifleen thousand dollars
were subscribed in Newbern in two days, and the
town and county may be put down for thirty thou
sand. On Monday last, books were opened in Jones
county ; and , although there were comparatively but
few in attendance, (it being, the first day of the Court)
fourteen thousand dollars were subscribed and we
have heard the opinion expressed by a respectable
gentleman of that county, that Jones will not contri
bute less than thirty thousand dollars. Considering
that Jones is dne of the smallest counties in the State,
the subscription thus far, is extremely creditable to
the public spirit of its citizens. From Lenoir, we
have no certain information ; it is understood how-
. over, that the subscription there will be large. We
are assured that Onslow, Greene, Wayne and John
bton, will act nobly in thiB great enterprize ; and ,we
shall be disappointed if good old Carteret does not
furnish her full quota, during the ensuing Court week.
With propjr exertions, the work can and will be ac
complished. But it is important that the public mind
should be enlightened on the subject. Publications
thowing its practicability and advantages, and ex
plaining the process of execution, in familiar lan
guage, should be gratuitously and widely diffused
among the people. Let our citizens be made sensible
ot the immense benefits which must accrue to the
tate from he Central Rail Road, and the whole
stock would: be subscribed for immediately. The
farmers of the Eastern portion of the State, are deeply
interested, arid if they are true to themselves, they
yui ensure success to the undertakin

To this notice, the names oi one hundred and frty
one of the most respectable citizens, were appended,
au among uiem, .the names of such men as James1
Kent and Albert Gallatin. Chancellor Kent was
unanimously elected President; and alter the meeting
was organized, Peter A. Jay, Esq. explained in an
eloquent afnd able speech, the object of the meeting
and urged the necessity lor mutual concession be
tween the rantf and Anti-Tariff States. The
annexed Resolutions were adopted ;
1- Resolved, That the preservation of the Union ol
'hese States "in which are involved our prosperity, felici
ty, safrty, perhaps pur nation's existence'' is an object of
j'aramouct importance xerer to be endangered for parti
tuUr interests, nor sacrificed to abstract opinions.
Resolved. That in order to a sasisfactorv and tmi.

situation, climate, habits, and particular interests,' it is
necessary thai each should relax on some points; and al

culated that out of 112 counties, more than 15 or
20 counties will appear by deputation in the Conven
tion." TheBarbour Convention to beheld at Raleigh
by the disaffected Jackson men, for the benefit of Clay
and Sergeant, will also be a failure.

MOVEMENTS OF THE NEW COALITION.
The Clay and Calhoun men in Congress are busy
in urging forward, by their despatches, a Convention
at Charlottesville to bring forward Mr. Barbour of
Virginia as a candidate for the Vice Presidency on
the Jackson Ticket. We ask upon what principle is
it that the most fell and deadly enemies of Andrew
Jackson, use his name to give color to their machina
tions to divide his friends to cripple his own election
by multiplying electoral tickets, and by the same
means, to make secure of associating John Sergeant
with his administration, by hanging the choice of
Vice President on the casting vote of John C. Cal
houn? Yesterday's Telegraph urges upon the
Jackson party the propriety of requiring Mr. Van
Buren to decline the nomination of the delegations of
the States assembled at Baltimore!! Mav Ave not
inquire upon what pretence Mr. Calhoun or his or
gan, undertake to advise the friends of the President
and especially Mr. Van Buren?
It would doubtless be exceedingly consoling to the
rivals who consprrcd Mr. Van Buren's rum in the
secret sessions, if he wTould decline, and quietly acqui
esce in the disgraceful retirement they hoped to pre
pare for him by their votes. To subject the President
to their rriasfery -to make him admit that he had dis
graced the nation in his foreign negotiations admit
that the minister he had sent abroad was an "infa
mous" man admit that the members of the Clay
and Calhoun coalition were illustrious patriots, who
had redeemed the drowning honor of the nation, and
thus at once relieve them from all apprehension that
the people mav, by their voice, call them from their
stations, is doubtless a consummation most devoutly
wished, by all those who have violated the will of the
nation, and fear the coming retribution. These un
happy men must be content to wait the judgment of
the people. Mr. Van Buren will not decline.
We have received from the county in which Mr.
P. P. Barbour resides, the following account of the
joint operations of the friends of Messrs. Clay and
Calhoun, in that part of Virginia. It is from a warm
and true-hearted friend of Mr. Barbour, who, it will
be seen, does not believe that the proceedings will
receive his countenance. It shows, however, with
what fraternal feelings the friends of the mdlifyer and
consohdatist are laboring together in the South.
THE BANK BILL.
is said, the Bank Bill will Dass the Senate bv a
majority of 8 or 10 votes. It is suvvosed. that it will
also pass the H. of R.
What then ? We look to our sheet-anchor. We
confide in the President's love for the Constitution, his
public spirit, the moral courage which marks his cha
racter, tie will not deceive us. He will veto the
Bill. I
We understand, the bill was debated durinn- the
past week with great ability, buc principally on the
side of the opposition. Its advocates, relying on their
relentless majority, have resorted in most instances to
dumb legislation. Mr. Benton told them on Friday,
that they realized the Abbe Sieges' idea of dumb le
gislators most admirably. His taunts and reproach
es, which were as bold as thev were severe, had no
effect upon their taciturnity. On Saturday, howev
er, the Senate Chamber exhibited a more animated
scene. Mr. Tazewell moved to reduce the term of
the charter from 15 to ten years, alleging that 10 years
was long enough to entrust this tnomed corporation
with the dangerous power of regulating the currency
of the country, and too loner to deprive the States of
this union ot their sovereign power ot taxation. Ge
neral Smith followed. He was surprized that the
committee had fixed on so short a term, h or his part
he was for at least twenty years. . He contended it
was a specie-paying bank (Mr. Tazewell and Mr.
Hayne, which last gentleman, by-the-bye, had made
a very animated and impressive .speech during tne
previous part ol the debate, had shewn that one ol the
provisions introduced depnved it ot this attribute,) and
he ridiculed the idea of' its being, or of its capacity to
be, converted into a political machine. Just, as the
question was about to be taken, Mr. Benton addressed
the Senate. In the first place he read m extract
from General Smith's speech on a former occasion
to shew, that at that time the General thought it a
most tremendous political engine, and particularly
adverse to his (the General's) election, as well as ac
five in its opposition to him. The extract created
it is said, considerable merriment in the Chamber
for, it was conclusive. Mr. B. proceeded in an ani
mated, learless strain of invective. He asserted, that
the Bank had interfered with the politics of the coun
try. . It was at that time a political engine in the
hands of the majority : That it had been brought for
ward four years before the expiration of its charter,
to have an effect on the Presidential election that it
was intended to crush the President unless he could
crush it: That th contest was for life and death with
that party, whom he respected much more highly un
der their ibrmer honest name of Federalists, than
under their new-fangled, insidious appellation of Na
tional Republicans that if they could only succeed
in crushing the President, they would remove their
only obstacle to unlimited power: But that their ex
pectations were vain; for, that "Andrew Jackson
would strangle the Bank and would rise like Brutus
rom the fate of Ccesar, greeted by the applauses of
Cato and of Rome."
And we have no doubt it will be so. We have as
ittle doubt 'too that, if the ultimate features of the
Harbour, or of the Internal Improvement Bills should
clash with the principles of the Veto Message, they
too will share a similar fate. With these bills, thus
rejected, and the Tariff question settled on liberal
principles the public debt paid off all unnecessary
expenses retrenched, economy introduced into all our
disbursements, and simplicity into all the acts of the
government the reputation of Andrew Jackson will
reach an elevation, to which it has not even yet at-
aineu, Hichmond lunq.

It is the design of Temperance Societies to rendel

would drink none but confirmed drumcards would
resort to the denounced, detested poison, and the land
wouldsoon be purged of them by their own excesses.
On this subject Dr. Shaw remarks ;
"Great and underserved odium has iu many
places been heaped upon these societies. Viewed in
their proper light, however, by liberal men, they are
benevolent institutions, encouraging by precept and
example entire abstinence from ardent spirits and
strict temperance in t,he use of wine or any i?ito.rica
ting beverage. This is the whole ground ofeffence
against them. Howard received a high meed of
merited praise for mitigating the severity of prison
discipline; and Wilberforce also, for his efforts in
abolishing the slave trade. But what are either oi
these, compared to the liberation of the countless mil
lions of the human race from the galling bondage of
intemperance, its multiplied vices, its dreadful cnov
mities and its appalling injuries to civil society!
What fills prisons with dishonest, weak, and wicket"
criminals? What fills alms houses with paupers'.
What makes tens of thousands of men poor and
wretched, and leaves their widows indigent and
destitute? What throws on the charity of this cold
world great numbers of helpless poor orphans? I as
sert, without fear of confutation, that by far the mosr
frequent cause of ail these evils is Intemperance.
The man who conceived the noble design 61 preven
ting so much evil, and who had the moral courage t o
stem the obloquy incident to so bold an innovation ou
the corrupt and selfish habits of his species, deserves
high rank among the benefactors of mankind'

Lectures on the utility of Temperance Societies.
This is the title of a pamphlet just published in our
sister Town, Washington. The Lectures are from
the pen of one of her citizens, William A. Siiaw,
M. L)., who has showed himself an' active and effici
cient auxiliary in the cause of Temperance. They
are inscribed to the members of the Washington
Temperance Society, before which one or more of
them were delivered. The first Lecture treats of In
temperance as a National evil ; the second, as a source

If such are the feelings of the Tariff men general

before imagined. Nothing certainly could be more
calculated to drive the Southern people to despera

remains yet to be done. Many prejudices must be
removed, more information diffused, and more vigo

will yet, for years, remain in bondage worse than man
can impose in bondage to evil spirits. In many dis
tricts of country in our State, no Societies exist, and
in some they are known only as the subject of ridicule.
In our Town, there is none ; and though some are
governed by its principles, the influence of their prac

though, Sir, I believe that you know I was one of the
ursu to ureier me claims ot Judge Barbour. I admire
brethern and fellow citizens, to treat each others
complaints with kindness and charity. When the
Union was formed.-it was based upon principles ol
mutual forbearance and concession. If this spirit is
to be abandoned, we will not relax an inch of our de
mands to save the nation from rum ; it you cannot
bear the burdens we impose the sooner you break from
the Confederacy the better ; we say if such is the
temper with which Tariff men regard the complaints
of the South, the Union will be dissolved and the
pen of history will ascribe the catastrophe not so
much to the South, as to those infatuated men, who
claiming "the same right to protection that they
have to life," and insisting upon it at all hazards,
blow the embers of discontent into a flame, and render
a disolution of the Union inevitable. To some it may
seem a small matter that this Union should be dis
solved, far smaller than the consideration of a lew
dollars and cents wrung from tlie pockets of their fel-
ow citizens : but we are pot prepared to saenhee the
benefits which have been rjurchased to the country ty
oceans of blood and treasure, without a " sigh," nay,
without liftino" up the voic of remonstrance, and con
juring alt who are not absolutely demented on the
subject ot protection, to pause ana consiaer tne ties-
perate length to which they are going, anu tne iear
ful consequences of an event which they are urging
to its consummation with a recklessness altogether
unaccountable.
Were it the Inst sentence which we ever expected
to write, we would entreat the leadera of the Tariff
party and all who have any influence on tne mo
mpntmiB citKiiW tr troirh wpH the conseduences of
the course they are now pursuing. Remember the
question is not whether they will relinquish protection
altogether, for the sake of conciliating the extensive
districts of conn (rv w hich feel themselves aggrieved
but whether they will give up any thing : Whe
ther they will consent to the project of the Secretary
of the Treasnrv. or to that of the Committee of Man
ufactures in the House, either of which will leave the
manufacturing interests lars-elv protected and at the
same time prove to the South" that their complaints
are not altogether unheeded. If they will not concede
so much.- if in short, thev will concede nothing, i
they will cling to the ne plus of protection till the
last grasp, and it in consequence oi uus uur mir tve
public should be torn asunaer, pobwny win duik
monuments to their memory, but they will be monu
ments of infamy, scorn and detestation.
What a monstrous sentiment is this which the
Tariff organ urges upon its friends" You have the
same right to protection that you have to hie." We
perance associations, which, by the admission of their
enemies, are exerting a salutary influence on the
community. Is there so little intemperance here,
that we do not need a Society, or is there so much,
that we cannot form one ? or is this the reason that
none exists, that the subject has never been fairly be-
lore the public mind i This, I believe to be the rea
son, and therefore I rejoice that Dr- Shaw has given
these Lectures to the public, hoping, that as they come
lrom our own section ol the country, and are written
with ability and candour, they may contribute to give
an impulse to the work ol relormation among us.
The lollowing extracts may serve as specimens of
the Lectures.

After a brief notice of some objections to those so

paragraph.
" It is the sacred duty of every person of mature
age and intellect, tu co-operate in this glorious cause :
oi' the divine, the moralist, the sage, the physician,
the father, the mother, the son and the daughter, k
is the imperative duty of the divine, as 'no drunkard
has any promise of ever becoming a proselyte to the
gospel of the cross ; of parents, because sons may be'
lelt by them in affluence or competence, who, unless
their moral principles are fixed, and their habits so
ber, will be the mark of every scoundrel, adept,
and adventurer. An inexperienced youth, heated by
the intoxicating bowl, falls an easy prey to the devi
ces of a cooi sharper or a cozening villain. Ifther
have daughters, the misfortune of marrying a drunken
husband will be the worst of all earthly calamities!
I repeat it, the worst of all earthly calamities!'-
FOR THE SEICTINEL
It was with much surprise I saw So less than four
articles in last week's Newbern papers on the subjecT
of a stage communication between this place and

before, that the people of Newbern cared nothing
about the matter; at least theyJiave showed a most as
tonishing degree of inattention to the subject. Per
haps, however, it may not be known that tlie Depair
ment have already established such a communication .
by as fane a fine as the United States afford. This
is, however, a fact, but it has, by some unaccountable
means, been so far entirely unobserved. The limj
rom b ayetteville to Norfolk was ordered by the De
partment, 3 or 4 months since, to intersect Mr. Gui
oh's jline at Waynesborough, which would rive thp
direct line required, without one dollar expense to tlifa
ue partment. Passengers and the mail would pas
in 24 hours and go very little if any farther than to
go to Duplin Court House. I should be sorry to haw

in the Union, and without disparaging any other, I
can safely say that Saltmarsh's lino is equal to any,
and Guion's is as good for the most part as theirs.
Mr. Guion would be much benefitted by the union,
and I do not know how the other contractors could bv

mands of the Postmaster General being obeyed, wt
shall have at once this great desideratum. : ;

After describing the awful wretchedness and hope

daughters, he adds,
" And yet some who would gladly obstruct the pro
