THE SENTINEL.
NEWBERN:
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, IM2.
We this week present our readers with the official j
returns of our State Election ; and much as we are
cjatifieJ at the general result, we are not less so at
the more particular examination of the vote in the
different counties. We confess ourselves most agreea
bly disappointed in our Western brethren. It had
been 60 confidently predicted that the West would not
support Mr. Van Buren, that we were not without
our fears that the means taken to destroy the reputa
tion of that distinguished Statesman and consistent
Republican of the Old School, had proved successful.
The timevas in North Carolina, when Western and
Eastern Republicans were not to he divided anil de
feated by the little artifices of disingenuous office
"seekers, who would foster local prejudices that they
might the more readily (defeat those who were too
honest even for office, to sell a vote. But such has
r.ot always been the case. It cannot be concealed or
iorgotten, that for ttie last few years, we have per
mitted ourselves to be cut to. pieces, and while the
ccmptant effort has been to put an end q Party, we
have been split into local parties, ofajl others the
most dangerous and destructive to the prosperity of a
country; and never, we think, without intending any
J.srespect to the legislature of 1831, was there a
more striking example of the miserable efforts of such
parties. What useful result, we would ask, could be
hoped for with such feelings aaseem to have entered
into" the consideration of almost every subject brought.
''Wore that body ?
But we would turn with delight to the more cheer
ing prospect now presented to us, in anticipating the
commencement, with the pent Legislature, of a
f.eu, era in our history. ''
After the result of our late election, the true charac
ter of the People of North Carolina cannot be mista
ken. From the mountains to the sea board, the great
Republican principles which characterised the Ad
ministrations of Jefferson and Madison, are yet the
favorite principles ; and we believe Jackson and Van
Buren hive few real friends who do not esteem each
the more as he considers him to belong to the Jefferson
frhoeJ of Politicians. Is it, then, the true policy of
4those who can find so much to justify and require a
rnnity of action, to permit themselves to be angrily
aroused against each other by every little Eastern
swamp, or Western road or county! bill which may
be forced on the Legislature ? Surely it cannot be.
A very different spirit was cherished in the days of
the Lockesand Franklins of the West, and we trust
that a period no less propitious, is now about to be
revived under the auspices of the Republicans of the
present day, who are equally devoted to the main
tenance of the principles by which those eminent
nen were actuated. Our divisions have been seized
upon bythe opposition; and one after another of the
' adverse party, has feen successfal in his competi
tion for appointments which experience has shown
us should have beeri conferred on well tried f iends.
And to what has this state of things been owing ?
Simply to an hone t difference of opinion on the ques
tion of a State Convention. We believe that in this,
as in mvt other family quarrels, there have been faults
n both sides. That t he eastern counties should doubt
the propriety of unsettling a form of government so ear
ly adopted, and the work oft lie sages of the Revolution?
and under which they experience no inconvenience,
was to be expected ; and that our Western counties,
which have increased so rapidly in wealth and popu
lation, should Wish some alteration in the representa
tion in our Legislature, is equally natural. But on
each side, we think, there has been too little indul
gence manifested towards the other. WTe believe
that a more conciliating and less proscribing spirit in
the West, would have sooner won the acquiescence
cf the East ; and that an impartial and indulgent
'consideration of the subject by the East, would have
caused less asperity on the part of the West. For
ourselves, ve believe that our State Constitution is
imperfect and although we do not admit that any
.inconvenience under it, would justify our hastily en
tcriiu upon its improvement, yet, at a proper season,
we would have no, fears but that the work could be ac-
-complshed without endangering any of valua
ble features. But at the present period, when North
Carolina will require all her devoted adherence to ex-
t hrting institutions, it is not believed that any where the
occasion will be thought suitable for such an underta-
, King, n, nowever, on mis suoject we cannot ue oi j
cue mind, let 'is not on that account, array one part
f of the State against the other; and that we may the ;
moo certainly avoid it, let the real friends of Jackson
an " Van Buren the great Republican Party, act
together, and let him among them who by the promi
sed support of their opponents shall be willing to di
vide them let such Republicans, we say, share the
fate of John C. Calhoun;, and Philip P. Barbour,-
ouce in the full confidence of the Republican Party,
1 T . . L I .1
but no longer so.
; The Message of Governor Stokes, which we have
! placed on our second page is a neat and perspicuous
exposition of the matters pertaining to the executive
office. His Excellency's account of Mr. Ball Hughes,
.-13 not of the most satisfactory nature. That gentle-
man, it appears, has made but little progress in the
work assigned him by the last Legislature.
William D. MosELEYEsq. of Lenoir, has been
elected Speaker of tht" Senate. No nomination was
rnatlc the Senators voting according to their ideas
f the fitness of the persons run. We are gratified
at the election ofJMr. Moseley, as he is not only a sound
politician, but an urbane, talented and high minded
gentleman.
Mr. Henry, the member from Fayetteville, has
been elected Seaker of the House of Commons, by a
majority of 16 votes over Mr. Sawyer, of Edenton. ,

Mr. Littell says :
jjAucuiciy anxious about (hp mnkv. C oL.i.
Carolina (the free trade party cannot afford tb lose
their ablest advocates,) I came to this city as soon as
the President had returned from his innrnr '
tain from himself and from the Secretary of the
Treasury, whether there was in reality a "hope Ibr
redress of the grievances which are more strongly re
sented by the South, but which press with equal
weight upon us.
I saw them both yesterday, and after premisTncr
that they are ignorant of my. intention to wrte to
you or to any one, I can say that although thej Pre
sident is far from agreeing with the doctrine that the
South pays all the Tarffl or anv more than the dutv
on the article she consumes, he is yet fully with he'r
upon the general principle, and is ready and willing
to carry it into effect with as little delay as a prudent
caution against precipitate changes will admit. !
'ft the Secretary of the Treasury 1 shewed the
project of a sincere patriot, for the permanent settle
ment of the question, upon a basis which I think
ought to be satisfactory to both parties and in sup
porting which, the advocates of Free Trade would
compromise no constitutional principle. Without
reservation he expressed his entire approbation of
tne principle upon which it was founded. 1 ;
Charleston City Gazette.
From the New York Journal of Commerce.
The Second Session of the Twenty-Second Con
gress commences two weeks from next Monday. It
will be one of the most important sessions ever held.
The great question to be considered, is that relating
to South Carolina, and its unavoidable concomitant,
the Tariff. Though South Carolina is not sustained
by the other Southern States in her measures of re
dress, she has their sympathies in full in regard to
the objectof her complaints. The whole South.! with
the exception perhaps of Louisiana, is united against
t he Tariff; and the only question is, how to relieve them
selves of the burden. The whole South, therefore,
with the exception we have named, will go en masse
airainst the Tariff. Nor is it unreasonable to suppose
that the views of Northern and Western Members
will be greatly influenced by the dangers which that
instrument has brought upon the country. They
will pause and consider, whether it is worth while to
hazard the unity of the Republic for the sake of per
petuating a system of at least doubtful utility and
doubtful justice. A majority, we presume, including
the Sout hern Members, will be found in favor of con
cession : Of concession adequate to the exigences of
the crisis: Of concession such as ought to have been
granted on the 14th of July. But in adjusting this
controversy, a due regard must be had to the interests
of the manufacturers. If a plan is adopted Ibr redu
cing the duties to the actual wants of the government,
and of equalizing the duties on different articles, it
must be done eradualhi. Lame investments have
been made in manufacturing stock on the strength of
the I anfi ; and although reason might have shown
that such exorbitant duties would not always be borne,
vet to reduce them at once to the contemplated level,
;voull1 be more unju8t aml ' cruel lhaPay Lug
which South Carolina has suffered, or will be called
to suffer. If South Carolina possesses the patriotism
which she claims, she will not ak (bra sudden re-
duction. If Congress duly regard the interests of

Tlie Federal Court adjourned late on Saturday,
the 17th hist. The Jury found for the plaintiffs in
the case noticed in our last paper; upon which, it
was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States
by Writ of Error.
J. J. Straugham, of Chatham, was found guUty of
robbing the U. S. Mail, and sentenced to ten years
imprisonment.
John B. Mills, of Fayetleville, was indicted for ad
vising the robberry of the Mail, and found guilty ; but
on a motion in arrrest of Judgment,' the Court being
divided, this case was also carried to the Supreme
Court. Star.

Martin Van Buren, walking into the Senate of
the United States, will be quite an interesting sight.
On the fourth of March next, he enters upon t he du
ties of Vice President he takes the chair of that body
which rudely rejected him for a foreign mission : he
sits down in the same place occupied by John C. Cal
houn, who thought him unworthy ol his vote. Such
is the decision ol the people.
Look at it. Mr. Van Buren opens the door the
Senate is nearly full ; Clay to the right, Webster a
little below him, Poindexter in front, Mooreto the left.
Mr. Van Buren is at the bar. He glances his eye to
the right and left for a moment. Mr. Clayton, of
Delaware, whispers to John Holmes," here he comes."
John says,-"I knock under." Mr. Sillsbee is very
quiet and peaceable ; Mr. Poiivioxter is straddling to
Ins seat with his eyes on the floor. Mr. Van Buren
is now in the chair. t: Will the Senate come to order?"
Mr. Clay starts, and drops his pen " war on the
threshold !" Mr. Webster looks up, and takes it
coolly. John Holmes says to Clayton, " Come down
to Le Tourno'e, and get a few oysters." Miller, the
fire eater, bites acmill in piece. Mr.Haync retreats.
Poindextcr buttons up his coat and puts his hat on

But what can picture the chagrin, the mortifica
tion, the despair, the rage suppressed all the violent
. and contacting passions which tremble through th
hearts of the whole opposition ? None but a Titian
or a Raphael could do justice to the tweiTtal scenery
of the Unite 1 States Senate, whe'n Martin Van Bu
ren first marches up to take the high chair to which
the people have elected bim. Ar, Y. Globe.
We perceive th: the opposition prints are giving,
as intelligence j intimations spread abroad by the Tele
graph, to make the impression that the President is
taking treasures to blockade- the port of Charleston,
by revenue cutters, and is marching troops to make

OBITUARY.
Died,at Spring Bank, WTayne County, on ihc 15th
insumt, in the 18th year of her age, Miss SARAH
H. eldest daughter of Genl. Nicholson Washington.
In recording the death of this amiable and exemplary
young lady, language fails to speak her eulogium.
Though the mysterious dispensations of an all-wisr
Providence had subjected her to a lingering and pro
tracted illness yet with an uucomplaining resigna
tion, to his divine power and goodness, supported by
the hopes ol Christianity, and ouqyed.by that "grace,
which tunes the harps of Heaven," she patiently
awaited the period of her departure, when she might.
' go away and be at rest." The afflictive bereave.
mem to affectionate parents, relatives and friends,
cannot but be diminished by the consoling certainty
that she's gone-
Where holy souls perpetual sabbaths keep.
Ami never are concern'dTor food or sleep.;
Where flaming seraphe sacred hymns begin,
And rrtptur'd cherubs loud responses sing.

, FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.
Raleigh Saturday morning, Nov. 24.
You will have seen ere this, through the papers of
this city, the incipient business of the Legislature.
But little difficulty was experienced in the selection-
of Speakers, and so far, the Members seem to have
commenced their legislative functions with an ap
pearance of great friendliness and harmony. Tlie
bitterness of party animosity appears to have subsi ded,
and a halcyon and perhaps portentous calm per
vades the Halls of Legislation. There is doubtless a
feeling friumph on the one side, and of disappoint"
rnent on the other, concealed in the hearts of those
who have hitherto been arrayed against each other ;
but courtesy, as well as policy, veils it from general
observation. I hope it may remain so, for itds pain
ful to see such bodies made the arena for mere party
squabbles, or political intrigue. .
There is a common enemy against which all pap:
ties, however, with a few exceptions, seem to have
combined to prevent further inroad within our bor
ders. I allude to that " monstrum horrendum" calv
d Nullification. Already have Resolutions beep
ntroduced denouncing the heresy, and when the3'
come up ior discussion, we snaiJ see-who is hardy
enough to espouse the doctrine.
Resolutions have also been adopted expressive ol'
the gratitude and respect entertained by the Legts .
ature, for the mcmoriy of Charles Carroll, of Catr
rolhon, " the last of the Signers."
It is believed that one of the most exciting topics
which will come "before the Legislature, is the case of
a contested election from the Borough of Salisbury.
Mr. Craig has taken his seat, but Mr. Alexander"
who opposed him, is also here, and both have, I air
d erst and; a mass of testimony in the form of Deposi
tions. Mr. Pearson introduced Mr. Alexander's Deti1
ion, and is of course with him in feeling. So many
considerations however, are involved in the matter,
that it is impracticable to speak with certainty of the
result.
A Resolution has been introduced, having for it
object the re-organization of the Congressional Dis
tricts.
John L. Baily, Esq. has been elected Solicitor i-
the first Judicial Circuit.
