when we " a whining achool-boy, with our
ktchel and ahining morning face, were " creeping
willingly to school." And we hare many Patrona
thia sort. We cao boast ot navingon our nsi, umo
the oldeat and most repectable citizen" of tbe State
any of whom, during a aeries of years, have never
aaed to cheer us with their countenance aud support,
d who, we presume, will continue to bid welcome
a vikiter aa familiar as the faces of llieir children.
hilst it holda fast to the doctrines in morals and poi
ses, which it has ever been the humble endeavor of
i Troprietors to iuculcate. Our friends, like dia
andaefthe purest water, love law aud order, peace
ni tranquility, and are firm supporters of the Consti-
ntion. They are eld-faahioned too, and cling to their
ilitical Institutions, and will do nothing to endanger
elr eontiuuance. Have we net reasou to be proud

State, with a population of 1,500.

acid fruit, we have no means of judging.
tT The Dible Society have call at Washing

uHouae of Representatives, enforced his remarks with
the following passage, which he referred to the Holy
Bible, without designating'ehapter or verse :
" And while the lamp holds out to burn,
Tbe vilest sinner may return."

question depending in either House of Congress, va

ed in the newspapers published out of thia city, both
editorially and by their Washington correspondents.
It is Bopttssible certainly to predict what will be the
apeeifiaMtionef Congressupon.it. But, whatever
may be tbe final action Of the House of Representa
tives ia the case, we bow feel entire confidence that
the Senate' will give its sanction te no measure in re
lation te Oregon, which would stand in the way of
peaceful aud houorable adjustment of the difference
existing between the Governments of this country
and Great Britaiu, on thia subject.

the Legislature of the Slate, while the Locofocoa are
as obstinately the ether way, as the moat enthusiastic
admirer of the " hard money" system and the Sub

this contest, and it aeeina to excite mors attention and

HISTORICAL FACTS.
Daring the tea or' twelve years sf tbe existence or
the lalt Bank ef the U nited States, it enjoyed a con
dition of prosperity beyond that of any other known
institution of a similar kind. The internal Exchsn
ges were transacted with a regularity, sud a cheap
ness, before unknown, and the business of the Gov
eminent, with a degree of safety sud accuracy, that
the best-friends of the Bank, or the Nation, could
hardly have expected. In 1832, for instance, we
find on reference to a document in pur possession, that
the domestic Exchanges of this vaet country were
conducted, to the amount of 2T2 millions of 'dollars,
at from one-fiflh to one-eleventh of one per cent.
This would be incredible, were it not a matter of re
cord. Such continued to be the case, until the pros
tration of the Bank wai effected, through the perse
verlng hoti!l'y of Gen. Jacksox. - ----
During this sains period of prosperity, the paper
issues of the State Banks were kept within bounds
balances were not permitted to accumulate, and the
whole currency Was in as good a mate as could rea
sonably be expected. Our paper was, every where,
convertible into cash without difficulty. The finan
ces of the Government entruated to the Bank, were
managed with a cheapness and facility, that left no
thing to be desired. Nor ia il to be denied by auy
man, who has a character to lose, that the Notes of
the Bank were, for aeveral years, preferred to Gold
and Silver During thirteen 'yeers,"' under Mr Bir
dlx's Administration, i350 millious of the public mo
ney were transferred to aud from all parts of the
Union, without the Ion of one cent !
Soon after Gen. Jackson's election to the Presiden
cy, it seems to have beeu determined to control the
Bank of the United Stairs, aud brud it to the party
purposes df Ilia Administration. The first open at
tempt was in Juno 1829, lo effect the removal of Mr
Mason, President of the Crunch Bank at Portsmouth,
N. H., because he wan not friendly to (Jen. Jacksun's
Administration. This hostility was again manifested
in the rresideut'a .Message of that year, and renewed
attacks were made upon the Institution iu each suc
ceeding year, perseveringly bucked by the whole pow
er and patronage of the (iovernment, until the renew
al of its Charter was finally prevented. Geu. Jack
son .withdrew from the Bunk, the Depositee to the
credit of the Public Treasury, against the opinion of
a majority of his Cabinet. Without precedent, and
without constitutional authority, he took the money
under his own command. He deposited enormous
sums in various local Banks, increasing through this
means, the influence and patronage of the Executive
and thus furnished positive proof, that however ig
norant or despotic an European Monarch may be, he
cannot be more so than a Republican President.
Who will be bold enough to deny these historical
facta ?
RE-ANNEXATION OK ALEXANDRIA TO
VIRGINIA. .
On Wednesday, both Houses of the Virginia Le
gislature auspeeded their rules for the purpose of
passing (and unanimously, too, in both Houses,) an
act of retrocession, " accepting by the State of Vir
ginia the County of Alexandria in the Dittrict of
Columbia, when the same shall be rcctded by the
Congress of the United States."
The Act, thus promptly sud cordially passed, is
entitled, an act " accepting by the State of Virginia
the county of Alexandria in the District of Colum
bia, when the same shall be receded by the Congress
of the United States." H '
After a Preamble, setting forth the history of the
original cession to the General Government, &c.,the
enacting clause is as fellows:
" He it therefore enacted by the General Assem
bly, that, so soon aa the Congress of the United
Stales shall, by law, re-cede lo the Commonwealth
ol Virginia the said county of Alexandria, aud relin
hnqiiisn (heir exclusive jurisdiction, aa well of terri
tory as of persons residing, or lo reside, therein, the
same shall be re-aniiexed lo the said C'ommonweallh,
and constitute a portion thereof, subject lo such re
servations and provisions respecting the public pro
perty of Ihe Uuited States, aa Cougiess may enact
in tbeir act of re-cessiou." .
THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.
We see that a statement is going the rounds of the
papers, that sundry Whig Senators and other leading
Whigs, have had a dinner, at which, iu a merry and
patriotic mood, Gen. Scott was proposed and agreed"
upon as the -Whig candidate for the next Presiden
cy ! The statement is prononneed by good authori
ty, to be a sheer piece of nonsense. The friends of
General Scott are more discreet than to bring him,
or to have him brought forward in this way. He
may be the candidate of our parly, and so may John
M'Lean, or many others. The people, composing
the great Whig party, will attend to the matter!
There Is time enough for that yet. It should be suf
ficient for our oppontiiti to quarrel, deride, dictate
and ostracise, among themselves let the Whigs
have none of it !
ILT Tbe United Stales Gdiettt, from which we
copy the subjoined remarks upon the late decision by
the House ef Representatives in the case ef the con
tested election from Florida, describes in few but true
words the effect oAhat decision :
The loss of a sinjrls sots in the House is of
' little consequence out way or the other ; but the
' violation of right by the legislative authorities of
' this nation is a (rest evil one that will be quoted
' as a precedentone, perhaps, that has beso cited
' end acted on ss a precedent. The wrong; to the
1 New Jersey members has not been forgotten. The
' treat wrong of admitting to seats in Congress mem
' bera elected centrsry to the laws of Congress must
continue to operate deleteriously. And we are now
' beginning to learn that any question, whatever may
' be its bearings, whatever may be Ke merits, ean be
1 carried in Congress by an appeal to party. This is
s ssd stste of things, ther worse that it seems te be
1 gelling strength by repetition."

The Penitentiary. The Ivlitor of the Ra.
leigh Independent, who is h.mself in favor of a
remtentiarv, says that he is eatislierl irotn me
lone of the Press of the Stale, and the silence
ohse ved on the subject at ihe various meetings
ately held, that the public mind m settled down
in opposition lo a Penitentiary. We confess that
we are surprised al this conclusion, as well as at
the strange premises taken by the Editor from
winch he derives it. It is our opinion that a ma
jority of.tlic Presses in the Slate are in favor of
the measure ; but wit Ii one consent they seem lo
have determined thai the question shall ue freely
discussed pro and con, and that no partisan hiac
shall be given toil; and the People, we infer,
acquiesce in the wisdom of this course, and hence
they have not thought proper lo express anopin-
ton on the question n their puotie meetings.-
Nevertheless, the subject is occupying the minds
of the people, and they are preparing them -selvet
for intelligent action when the lime lor
votinsr shall arrive ; ami as the weight ol argu
ment is evidently in favor of tho measure, we
i.lunk the ncoole will so decide. The "lone
of Ihe pieEf," therefore, as well as ' the silence
observed on the subject at the various (political.)
meetings lately held," we view in a very dif
ferent light to thai in which the editor of the In
dependent eees it we think them decidedly la
vorable to a Penitentiary.
Though the Ldit-rs of the papers in the Slate
observe so much silence on the subject, their col
umns do not. Many well-written coiiiinunica
lions have appeared, which have been exten
sively copied ; and in '.Ins way the question can
be placed before the people, wilh less danger
of us bem mixed up with exciting political top

Mr. Webb:
Through the columns of your Paper, it affords
me pleasure to inform those interested that the
Draw in Petersburg Bridge sccross the Roanoke
is now complete and all wishing to bring their
Boats to Weldott will meet with neither delay
or obst ruction at the Bridge. The width of l'raw
at Base, from Pier to Pier, is fifty feet, and at
Topihirty feel.
In communicating this fact, it is but justice to
say to Mr. Saml. Ford, the able .Supertntendant
of the work, that he his done justice to the Com.
pany and credit lo himtell in the building of the
Draw. The draw was opened lo-day in presence
of several gentlemen, and the ease which 120
feet of Bridge weighing 84,000 lbs. was moved,
pleated and astonished all who witnessed it. At
the'requesl f Mr. Ford, several of the gentlemen,
individually, moved the whole with little or no
effirt.
If our friends down the River will visit ns tvi'h
their Boale, we promise them no detention at the
Bridge, and a'heariy reception on iheir arrival at
WELDON.

We find the following remarks in Wii.t.ts's
Mirror. U hey terve to shorten the length of
mime lagubriim. vc-'ge. or impart a bright end
cheerful air In soma sad and sallow face, they
will well fill the space they occupy :
" Why are we Americans (as nation) so grave
a people ! Walk the streets and a larre major
ity of the persona you meet are alike solemn and
sallow. They look as if they had just risen from
the perusal of " Blair's Grave," or the " Elegy."
In vain nalure smiles upon litem: They return
it not their eyes court the (.'round their faces
are filled e. nh untimely wnnklus their gait is
rapid and awkward ( heir features gaunt and
spectral ; their voices husky and uncomfortable,
and their conversion quite unemhronlererl with
wil or huneir. Follow these people to their
homes esT i I all is murky 'hey bend frowninij.
ly over the newspapers they neither dunce nor
sing, nor frolic they drive all gaiety from llioir
wives anil children, and make their domestic hie
as dull and senseless as one of Lillo's tragedies.
Why is th ? Is life a heavier burden, a more
desera'e strujigle here thaneieewherc! Are we
cursed iili a dismal climate or eterile soil !
Have we no business to do, or is our lalrnr with
out reward ! Gratitude forbids that wo should s iv
so. Nature lias been most bounteous to us ; she
has given una land as full of beauty and grandeur,
as it if of all t tje elements of wealth. Fairer skies
never canopied mnrlals. Our lakes are seas;
our rivers run their thousand leagues unwearied:
our waterfalls sing their reaslese song in the for
est ; our mountains are worthy of the vallios they
protect ; the rainbow hues of autumn are our pe.
culiar boon ; Ihe earth yields us a hundred fold;
e blush when we gather in .returns so dispro.
portionate to our labors. Our atir.oetcirs, too, have
been most liberal to us, They have given us a
good government and a good name. We are all
blessed with minds naturally active and inventive,
and kept in perpetual play bv the freedom of our
institutions. No other nation hs such a mass of
intellect in constant employment.
Why, then, ate we so unhappy, thus surround
ed by all Ihe materials of happiness I Is not the
simple troth tint: we pervert our powers and
abuse our privileget; we place our affections up
on the wrong object we utterly mistake the true
prizes of life we passs by nature, art, love, friend
ship, faith, and bow ihe knee to mammon ; we i
doltze it; we erect cosily temples to nt honor,
Sm on its alters we sacrifice health, character,
our views, our children. To be rich, or lo be
thought rich, it, wilh too many of us, Ihe sole,
exclusive, all-engrossing object of our lives
Thus the heart contracts, the affections droop
and wither; ne tears waipflheTi, no tiniles warm
them Home becomes t dreary place ; it loses
its Sabbaths and its holidays. The muses and
ihe graces abandon it. Its songs and its festiv
ities, i's hymns nd ite prayers depart from it
Lnve and faith flee affrighted from its threshhold
Sullennese, frowns; taunts, reproaches, these are
its inmates. Its fireside becomes one constat t
, cene of jealousy, connpiracy, and strife, Ull at
