A ' rf A N DSO M E' CO M PLI M E N T. . A splendid Entertainment was given by the Mem bers of the Legislature, ouTueaduy night last, to Governor Moaehead and his moat estimable family, on the eve of their departure from lLileigh. It was one of the most joyous and pleasant occasions, we havo witnessed for years, and, for the moment at least, all party and personal differences were forgotten. Having dUchar-ed with an energy, hbilily and fidelity, above all praise, the official trust committed to his hands by the People, Gov. Moseiiead m about to return lo the theatre of bis former asefulness, among his old friends and neighbors. We csu say with unaffected sincerity, that bis rrlhemcut, and the .-it!.H-.nr.-il oflii; fun,;:!,- from our social circles, will I i :.. n.Mi tnr ihjtvlmvf, won the create a iau u,u iji win M, .

A PLAIN MATTER. During the discussion on the question of raisiug a Committee, lo investigate the matters concerning which Gov. MontHEAD demanded an enquiry, the right of the Governor to receive pay as a member of either of the Boards, wa flatly denied by Mr. Jahes B, StiKrAKU. Mr.C.. sustained the affirmative of the proposition, sod left not a shadow of doubt, wo should think, upoa ihe miud of any, that hi view'was the right one. The Bonrds were established in 1823, twenty-one years ago ; during the whole of that pe riod, the Governors bava uniformly been paid their travelling expenses aud ptr diem, while actually en gaged on either lloard. Th Committee of Fiuanca, from year to year (even the celebrated Committee of 13-13,) have always sanctioned the charge, and the respective Legislatures have ratified it, without hint or surmise lhat it was improper, untd that paragon of " financial ability" (John 11. Wheeler) discovered that it was illegal 1 De it remembered, lhat Ihe Governor has charge of the whale Literary' fu"d money amount ing to near S100,W)0 has to attend to all the duties of a Banker, ia fenewing Notes, computing interest, collecting debt, &lc. As Mr. Cucaat well said, no hir.tft man could be found to undergo all this labor, without pay.

If by diligence, failhfiilucsn, aud imrnirthdity in the high trust I am about to assume if by a cm.vtiat ob servance ef thftie great maxims of liberty and justice that are embodied ru-ilie Constitutions which I shall swear to support if by a consultation ef our hiatory, and a deforeure tn tluee precedents and examplcH which are deemed iiukI excellent iu past time, I cau gather that wisdom which my own teficient faculties are unable to supply, J may hope to render to my Countrymen pome, uttlioujli it be an inadequate re ttiru, for this mark of their favorable consideration. A philosophic observer of dur Insti utions, has attri buted as a defect to tlie Stale Governmeiits, lliut they do Dot comprehend obiecj of suluciint interest to human ambition. Although the fact be otherwise, yet it is much t be apprehe'.ided, tl at there is a ten dency In the affairs of the Federal Government, ex tending aa it does over so vaxla territory, and so ma ny millions of inhabitants, identified in recollection I wilh the proudest events of our histoiy with its pow er to make war and peace,! aud being constantly sur rounded with the potiTprnid circumstance of warlike preparation, bv laud and sea with i s large, reveuue jiml expenditures its numerous ofic-'ra, and their su perior eompeuHit ions uhovc llioel the Mates us power lo reg:tlatc Commerce, to conduct our foreign intercourse, and lo administer the cxleof Nations, wilh the great and concentrated powers and patrou- l il.l lUr. tj iMiirTnV.Mi tl,A alt'airs of lhat Goverutneut, wilh llm-0 uttributoa for admiration and attra. tiun, to engroirs too much of tha attention which is bestowed by our citizens on public affairs. That these important concerns. of the Na tion ehould be objects of constant obfervation and ac tive vigilance, is lo bo expected and deaired. But that they should be so, lo the exclusion of those rnore immediate interests which " come ho.iie lo our busi ness and bosoms," our homes and firesides, and which are wisely retained uuder -'ta!e jurisdiction, is a nns- fortune to be deprecated. If wc gi.iry iu the name of American ciiizcna, it thoidd be v.ith feelings akin to filial affection and rratimdo, that we remember, we I t 'rth Cnruliniam ! Aud that the preservation and protpoiity of our system, and its ability to secure ! the permanent and habitual attachment of the people, ! depend quite aa much, nay, much more, upon an en lightened policy, and a correct administration hi the State Governments, than in that of the Union. In omitting, therefore, lo occupy this occasion, with more than a Dassin? notice of matters which concern the I c..:ln nr tl,.. C.nnril Int ernment. I am actuated bv the belief that other topics are more approptiale, and moreover, that from recent opportunities, my opinions on National affairs aic hut unknown. Let it suffice, then, to say, that the line of partition between Stato and Federal powers, should he kept distinctly marked ; and while thoo yielded by the States should be lib- ii.. f... u.. ..A-1 th.tu rAti!,,,.! ?i ft.ii lZX c.7JZ7nrrZciht ! ......

( I!..:.-., d...... i regard tn ntieny ana union oi inette uui aiuies as inseparable, and that it is tba duty of tln-e en trusted with authority, as well as of all good citizens, indignantly lo frown upou the find dawning of ev " ery attempt lo alienate any portion of our country " from the rest, or to eufreljle the sacred ties which " link together ita various parts." But, for the culti vation of that harmony so eentia) to Union, we must bear iu mind, that it is ncee.-wary, not only that the course of tho General Government shall be character ized by justice, wiitilom, and enlarged patriotism ; but lhat the s everal Stales shall keep the covenants of the. Constitution as undertaken by them, not merely iu letter, but in spirit and in good faith. Certain parte of tbut ittstrnmeut require duties to b performed, or omitted, by the State Governments, or some depart raont thereof, without, however, providing penal sane- ! tious for the failureAelyrng oirlynpnn the comity, the enso of right, und tho offiuial ontlis of public servants for their observance. Yet it is obvious that a non- j compliance on the part, of State in these articles, u as injurious to the rest uf the confederacy, as can be any usufputhnrby the Federal Government. Tho ! Constitution having stipulated thai Congress shall ItaVe j power " lo establish a itnifonn rnle'of naturalization';' and Congtess having exerted the power, by pre-rt-bing a previous residence in our own country, of five years, and a declaration of an intention to lcottie-a "... , .

Aud if they are enumerated iu the census of her population, so as to gtvchcf a greater number in the apportionment 'of Representatives, and admitted to the right of suffrage in election affectiug. the Union, she acquires impor tance and power beyond her due, and by means un authorized by the Constitution.' f Yet, regulations for .the naturalization of foreigner, after st, residence of but six mouth or other period leas lhap that required bv tha Ada of Concrrcss, nave been introduced iu sev- erurot in ctaies, ana oxo msocvru w nut e aireauy bad an important lunuence in great National results.

Iu filfil- mcnt of the re juhements of the Constitution, a Judi- ci.irv sVKlem whs early put in oueratum, which being matured from time to lime, as experience suggested improvement, will compare favorably wilh the best sy -items of other States. Under its'admihistratioh by officers iu the main, of a high grade of ability, learn ing and purity of character, our standard of prufes sional ciuineiico has been uniformly elevated, justice has te,i executed, mid truth maintained, in such a mnnner, that in no part of the world have Ijfe, liberty and property, been more securo, than within the bor ders of oar venerated State.

May it prosper, until wo shall realito the desire of the Roman h-mpcror, who " wonid nave every ci i- teu so learned, that a portion of tha Republic might bo committed to hi charge." While such is tlie happy situation of our Govern ment, and such some of its more fortunate results, we cannot delude ourselves with the belief, that our advancement iu prosperity and wealth, has equalled that of most of our sister iMates, or that the task or '! honored with tho confidence of tho peop'e of , North Carolina, and entrusted with their delegated that of most of our sister States, or that the task of power, is one or eaiie or indolence. Mien lias nceu the flow of emigration, that our population has not yet doubled its, number at ih first .Federal census ; iu 1100. Its regular increase, however, during each decennial perHKl unlU the last, was at the 'average rate of about 80,000 souls in each ten years. But during the period from 1H30 to 18-10, owing to the temptations to removal, from the action of the Gen eral Government, both in relation to the currency, mid the, extinction of the Indian title to public land, the increase was only about 20,000 souls.
