We understand that the Declaration of Indepen
,1-nce will be read by Mr. George W. Rains, and an
Oration delivered by Mr. Monroe T. Allen, in the
Haptist Church, at 10 o'clock on the morning of the
Fourth. In the evening, an exhibition of Fire
Works may be expected.
The citizens of our town have once more given
their attention to the subject oflnternal Improvements,
ia such a manner as warrants us in hoping that some
plan will be adopted to save the state for herself.
Whether it will be defeated by jealousy, apathy, or
timidity, we cannot say. Success will certainly be in
eared if trie talent, influence, and wealth of the com
munity combine in the enterprize.

The operations on the Swash are progressing hand
eomclv. All our accounts from that quarter fortify
the belief that a good and permanent outlet to the
ocean will be completed in another year. For some
interesting remarks on this subject, our readers are
reierrcd to " The Victory's Log," in tins day's paper.
We cannot be positive as to the reason, but this looks
very much like it. Out of seven represented bo"
roughs, the East has four the West two and one
is on the border territory. This estimable privilege
is to be taken from the towns, seemingly on account
of the small advantage it gives to the commercial
portion of the state. This is taking the "pound of
flesh" over and above cthe bond." It may possibly
be asked how we would reform the defects which we
are willing to acknowledge. With this we have no
thing to do. A Convention would be a source of
great trouble, anxiety and expense to the state, and
ifaisembled, would conjure up imaginary gorgonsand
"dreams o' the night," as objects of suspicion. But
let our brethren of the West who have taken to them
selves the onn3 probandi, the labouring oar, pro
pose some prudent and well advised plan of a limited
Convention, and we would cordially acquiesce, but
it reallv seems a hazardous experiment for small ad
vantage, to throw every thing into chaos to be re
modelled after the will and pleasure of a present
majority. .

Some yeais ago an attempt was made to carry this
Convention question in the Legislature of North Ca

now made towards the same point in our own state;
a sys'i emnlk niv well arranged attack upon the Con

the Sentinel, we expressed ourselves as favourably
towards the question in agitation, as strict impar

We granted all the inequalities and defects of the
present system which could be fairly pointed out, we
expressed a hope that the subject 'might be satisfac-'
torily adjusted, and that all sectional prejudices might
be- merged into one combined feeling of patriotism.
Wc hope so still. But "look upon that picture then
on this," and the truth must force itself upwards,
that our present Constitution is better with a few
defects, than a future expectancy dependant upon
the caprice of a majority, and surrounded by cir
cumstances portending risk and danger. It is at all
times a hazardous thing to break up the bonds of
society, and set up the trade of constitution-makirig.

The Committee appointed to frame an Address to
the Tcople, Tecommending a Convention, have at
length sent forth their manifesto, which like a bill of
fare, contains things oJd and new in sufficient variety,
and calculated to please a diversity of palates. But
much of it, suits not our digestion. We see no mean
ing in the continual burthen of oppression, slavery,
taxation of a minority, and allusions to reform fn
England and the miseries of Ireland. Is the West
oppressed? Are the people of the West dispropor
tionately burtriehed by direct taxation? Are they
taxed without being represented ? I It seems a piece
cf simplicity to ask such questionsbut absurd in
; tinuations beget absurd replies. The Western por
tion of the State has had a full 6hare of the public trea
sury, and state patronage. The highest offices of the
state aiy filled by her citizens, circumstauces have in
fact thrown the power into her hands, and yet some
of her politicians indulge in a continuaUbne of com
plaint. The Address of the Commitfdeals largely

feet water, have a direct commerce with Europe, as
we might indeed, now have, were oor people actua
ted by that spirit of enterprize, which urges on the
citizens of the Northern States to undertakings of the
greatest magnitude. Suppose that a ship was
at Ocracoke, would it not be far better to put a catgp
of naval stores and cotton on board of her, by paving
the cost of lighterage, and sending it to Liverpool,
than to pay forty cents a barrel to take it to New
York, there to be put on board of their packets, aifd

far better for the farmer. The latter, instead of gct

it to the ship at Ocracoke, snv could atrord to pay as
much as the packet at New Y jotk, as it woujo casting

Friday, at 10 A. M. we left the Dredge Boat No. 1
in a sail-boat, and steered for Ocracoke. We. landed
at Captain Pike's, where we were hospitably enter
tained by that gentleman and hir. amiable lady. Ar-
ter amner, i commencea my pilgrimage to tne liignt
sens of North Carolina, we have seen with much gra
tification the spirited efforts now being made in be
half of Internal Improvement, and the great disposi
tion to divert the trade of the State into its natural
channels.
: Resolved, That we do not incur the imputation of
unreasonable selfishness, when we deprecate the ex
tension of rail roads and canals from our sister States
into the heart of our own country, whereby their rich
es and prosperity are increased, and our own State
impoverished, and its citizens driven Irom its soil to
seek a competence and affluence elsewhere. .
Resolved, That we will go heart and hand in the
accomplishment of any plan whereby these evils may
be remedied, and that we will concur with the deter
mination of the Convention to be assembled at Ra
leigh on the fourth of July next, in all such measures
as may be devised for the Internal improvement of
tkis section.of the State. .
