The bill making an appropriation to aid the Clubfoot and Harlow's Creek Canal Company, has passed its third reading in the Senate. The amount ask ed for is $6090. Mr. Fisher has introduced a bill to con solidate the several Banks of the State, and to establish a new Bank to be called the Bank of the State of North Carolina, a project utterly impracticable at present. The Sheriffs bill, vesting the right of electing Sheriffs in the free while men of the State, passed the House of Com mons on its second reading, yeas 63, nays 59 ; (it was lost on the third reading.) The bill to compel Qua- j kers, Moravians, Lc, to bear arms, or ' as an equiva lent, to pay an exemption tax, was rejected, nays 63, yeas 59. A resolution was then introduced " That it is the sense of this House, that they have such right, but that it is inexpedient to exercise it at this time" when the House adjourned. By the Amity, we received from our obliging corres pondent at New York, a file of the N. Y. Journal of Com merce. From a hasty perusal of them we find no late European news. A doubt is expressed whether there w ill be a war between Colombia and Peru. No falling off in the Markets. We have received from Waynesboro' an able commu nication on the President's Message, under the signature of J. T. We regret that its length obliges us to waive its publication. The Wednesday night's Mail brought no papers, owing we presume, to the state of the roads from the late in clement weather. Vegetables. We have received at our Office, two ra dishes, raised at Adams' Creek, on the plantation of Nathl. Smith Esq. The largest weighs eight pounds, and mea sures fourteen inches in circumference, and twenty;one and a quarter inches in length. The curious horticultu ralist is invited to call and see them. It is not too late to offer our kind readers the compli ments of the season, and to wish them many many hap py returns of it. We must also extend to our worthy contributors and correspondents a like expression of our regard, accompanied by a gentle admonition, that they observe a becoming abstinence and moderation during its festivities. It is not long since we read a lively and ingenious article which proved that high living was op posed to good writing. We have had our own reflec tions on this subject, and are satisfied that a very myste rious connection exists between the mind and body, and that in preparing to write an article, if you would have it all sparkling and mercurial with genius, there is no inspi rationno Helicon like hunger it enfranchizes your intellect and gives wings to thought. Call to mind the distinguished writers of antiquity, and you will find that they were literally starved into a very desirable i ilebrity. Nay the author above alluded to, roundly asserts, that Ho man should pretend to write who had a protuberant stomach or should reckon upon immortality unless he can distinctly count his own ribs. Why, look at our selves, the Editors of the Spectator, and our neighbour of the Sentinel here you have men whose brains, you would say at a glance, are not buried in their stomachs. Men who have half spiritualized themselves by keeping natter in due subordination to mind, until their bodies nave become almost as etherial as the spirits they en shrine. Let no one for an instant suppose that we wish to impose on our contributors any unnatural griping sys tem of starvation we would mproiv lmv tUm consi der how absurd it is to expect, that after stowing away iciuioniDs ot ham and poultry, and this made into a quagmire by eggnog and oysters, they Should be in that imaginative, classical mood, which is necessary to pre pare an article for th Rnertntm. ti. f...ui( A U7 BW.tj .

"Obesity is a deadly foe to genius.'' We have amen from the perusal of " Junius Unma&k ed," with the firm and settled conviction, that Lord George Sackvilie, was the author of those celebrated and caustic letters. ' We deem it one of the wonders of the eighteenth And nineteenth centories.that a secret.involving in its consequences the repose, and we might have said, the security of the British nation, should have remained enveloped in so profound a mystery for so long a time. The following beautiful allusion is made to Junius, by Mr. Burke, in one of his speeches: "How comes Junius to Lave broke through the cobwebs of the law, and to range uncontrolled, and unpunished, through the land? The myrmidons of the Court pursue him in vain. They will not spend their time on me or you; they disdain such vermin, when the mighty boar of the forest that has broke their toils, b before them. ' When I saw his attack upon the King, uiy blood run cold ; not that there are not in that composition, many bold truths, by which a prince might profit: it was the rancour and venom with which I was struck. When I expected from his daring flight, his fall and final ruin, I behold him waring higher, and coming souse upon both houses of parliament ; nor has he dreaded the terrors of your brow, Sir. (Sir Fletcher Norton the Speaker.) Kings, Lords, and Com mons, are the sport of his fury." It is a fact not known probably to the generality of our readers, that Sir William Draper, the victim of Juaius' pen, waited upon Mr. Burke, to ascertain from him whether or not he was the author of Junius; and upon receiving an assurance that he was not, neither did he know w ho was, came . to the conclusion that it was Sackvilie. Sir William, writhing under the effects of Junius' caustic lash, left his native country, and came to our town. Upon the walls of the old palace, a vestige of which scarcely now remains, he inscribed a couplet in Latin, to which he affixed his signature. We have heard by tradition from our old in habitants, that he was a man of pleasant and agreeable manners, and a regular attendant at the little brick church, which formerly stood in the corner of the square, now occupied by the Protestant Episcopal Church.. . communications. ' NO. II. Mtstrs. Editors, , . In our last number we stated on what principles the framers of our Constitution established the Executive term of office. We shall endeavour in our present number to prove that their views of the matter were visionary, and without foundation. The term of four years is not sufficiently long to secure the independence of the Executive, by giving time for its measures to have had their full operation and effect. All grand national measures, which are to exhibit the features of our established policy, are of a character to produce a present hardship, in order to secure an ultimate and last ing benefit. They are generally objected to, more on ac count of their wearing the aspect of a startling novelty, than from any conclusions which menhave arrived at, re specting their intrinsic merits. , The difficulty with which old opinions are rooted out and displaced by new ones, and the inveteracy with which men are wedded to generally received notions, will ever prevent them from considering the abstract merits of a measure, and giving it the dispassionate discussion which it deserves. The mode of reasoning, which is usually pursued in such cases, is, to argue from particulars to gene rals, and from individual and local grievances, to infer na tional calamity : they therefore can never be made sensi ble of the wisdom and utility of measures until they have been made acquainted with them from their effects. From these considerations, it is obvious that the term of service of the President, should not be so short, as to deter him from entering on those measures which it would re quire time to ripen and perfect. It is equally apparent to those who are at all conversant with the civil history of our country, that the term of four years is not, in this re spect, sufficiently long. The financial schemes of the il lustrious Hamilton, the establishing a Bank of the United States, the proclamation of neutrality, and the commercial treaty of Jay, w ere clamoured against with a virulence of invective which would certainly have displaced the un rivalled statesman, patriot and warrior, under whose auspi ces these measures were adopted, hadnqt their unpopular tendency been qualified and redeemed by his own in trinsic worth, and the unbounded and unparalleled confi dence which were reposed in his virtues. Coming down to later times,we perceive the same rancorous opposition to measures the effects oi which have been hut half realised. The re-establishing a Bai.k of the United States, which experience has demonstrated to be admirably adapted for facilitating financial operations, (and which was discoun tenanced by his successor, Jefferson,) was a standing ob jection against the re-election of the elder Adams. The acquisition of Louisiana, the brightest gem in the diadem of Jefferson's administration, and which has been attended with such signal benefits to the country, was denounced as an unwise and impolitic expenditure of the public mo ney, and opposed with the bitterest animosity, and most factious violence. From the instances adduced, therefore, it would appeal that the measures most obnoxious to op position, are those which have been best founded in wis dom and integrity. Having, we think, thus fully shown the expediency of extending the Executive term of service, and thereby se curing the free exercise of its powers, by establishing its independence, we next proceed to treat of the incapa city of the President for re-election, as contributing to the same result. We before stated, that betwixt the com mencement and termination of four years, it wassupposed there would be a considerable period when the prospect of not being re-elected would be too remote to exercise an improper influence over the executive functions. Now even the possibility of the President's being swerved from the path of duty by these considerations, is totally done away with, by rendering him ineligible. Take away the possible cause of corrupt influence, and you cancel the pos sible effect. Having thus, we think, fully demonstrated the fitness of our proposed provision for securing Execu tive independence, we next proceed to treat of the utility of ineligibility, in another point of view. 'It will preserve the purity of the Executive by taking away all motivesfor a corrupt distribution of patronage. The weightof influ ence which may be obtained by wielding executive pa tronage, i3 immense, and may be prostituted to the most sinister purposes; but as the object of re-election is the only improper motive which can actuate the President in appointment to offices that being abrogated, all source of corruption must likewise be removed. Able and honest assistants will, therefore, be chosen, whose exertions will redound to the glory and welfare of the country. Again, the ineligibility of the President will tend to the advancement of truth, and the dissipation of error, as the character of his measures will be discussed with a stricter regard to their real merits, than with the object of displacing him from office; and this is a conside ration of no little moment, when we reflect how liable, in a popular form of government, the people are to bo led .astray by venal and corrupt presses, which blind their un derstandings by influencing their passions, and adminis tering to their prejudices; and it is of cardinal importance to ourprosperous career as a nation, that all subjects of national interest should be placed in the clear light of truth A stable and consistent policy will be better secured by the extension of the Executive term,and ineligibility, than the precaridusness of re-election. For as the beneficial consequences resulting from measures will have become- appareut, individuals will obtain office, not as is now the case, by imaging war with the act of their predecessor; but by a steadfast adherence to what has become the establish ed policy of. the country. The importance of a stable policy in administering the affairs of government,' can never be sufficiently estimated, both as it establishes na tional character amongst the powers of the earth, and as ft promotes commercial prosperity; it fosters the spirit of speculation, so essential to success in trade, when men have criteria by which they can shape their schemes of enterprise, without a prospect of disappointment from any change of the established order of things. ' This fact is sufficiently obvious to those who are acquainted with the emergencies of commerce, to require illustration. We shall, in our next number, treat of the practical ef fects which result to the country from frequent elections, . . v.- . ' ' X. , Messrs. Editors, t We trustedthat the merited corrections which the Editor of the Sentinel had received, might serve to curb his vanity -but it seems that he is still restive and feverish from the effects, and aims at atonemenent with a rashness that borders on desperation, and a recklessness which mocks at the restraints of prudence. It is not, however, so much for the purpose pf waging a war of words, (in which kind of contest we acknowledge bis infinite superiority) as to enlighten the bewildered mind ot this bcio list, on a subject of which he seems to be totally, and considering his vocation,' incomprehen sibly ignorant, that we are led to notice his se cond ebullition of temper. The gentleman in his . effusion of last Saturday, asserts that we must have laboured under a confusion of ideas, when we confounded the votes of free blacks, nhb the right secured by . the Constitution of the Union, of a representation of three-fifths of our slave population. We will endeavour, in as concise a manner as possible, to illuminate his understanding. In apportioning the taxes to be paid for the support of Government, it was con tended for by the Northern States, that our slaves should be taxed as property this was objected to by the Southern States, unless they should likewise be represented. After much writing and argumentation, a compromise was effected, by which our slaves were to be taxed in the propor tion of three-fifths, and likewise represented in the same proportion ; so that three-fifths of every man's slaves entitles him to another vote. But how were jhey to be represented! ? not as pro perty certainly but as persons. A slave was considered as wanting two-fifths of a citizen this arose from the ambiguous light in which he was viewed by our laws, which considered him in some respects as property and in other res pects as a person. He was viewed as property, because his master's interest in him was indefea sible, and he could dispose of him as a horse or any other animal. He was considered as a per son, because he was protected in the enjoyment of life and certain other privileges; but extend the principle, emancipate him release him from a state of slavery, and he becomes, to nil intents and purposes, a free citizen, and entitled to his full ratio of representation. We therefore say, that a disparagement of the votes of free blacks, is a disparagement of that provision of the na tional Constitution, which secures to the South ern States their due weight in the Union. Another Link in the Great Chain. The New York Journal of Commerce announces the success ot their enterprise in making the Dela ware and Hudson Canal, across the State of New Jersey it being now complete and in full opera tion. A sloop had uist arrived laden with the Lackawanock coal. We aretold that it is found to burn equally as well as the anthracite of Penn sylvania. Enormous quantities will be brought into the market next summer, when it will be af forded, as wc have the best of reasons to believe, at a rate at least one-third lower than that de manded for the coal of Pennsylvania. The Rail Road is not yet complete, but it is far advanced. Locomotive engines have been imported to be used on the road, and 5 or 6 stationary engines, also imported, are now on their way up the Ca nal. Nat. Intel. Alabama. Governor Murphy, who is vene rated for his knowledge and beloved for his vir tues, recommends, in his recent message to the Legislature, strict economy in domestic concerns, and the erection of manufactories by individuals, together with a " lree but temperate memorial to Congress, as the only legal and effectual re medies for the tariff. He is certainly right. Manufacturing itself would remove the grievance. Were the Southern States to call into requisition their capabilities for this business, they would be able to undersell every other part of the Union so much, that the Middle and Western States would be not only eager to repeal the Tariff, but be foremost to have inserted in the r cdcral Con stitution, a clause restraining Congress to the im position of duties upon imports for the purpose of revenue only. Marylandcr. Ono of the English editors mentions that there is no doubt of the fact that the British govern ment has determined on building at least six war steamers. They are to be of 1600 tons measure ment, to be propelled by double engines of 180 horse power, and each carry fifty guns of the heaviest metal. It is added, that a steam-vessel of fifty guns,of large caliber, will, from the facili ty of her wearing, and her rapidity of movement, be a match for any seventy-four gun-ship hither to built.
