. 4tlVnm the GttnAtf Patriot No. lRemorki e A'a I, of " 8yltyiu'$ ar. . IkUtin opjv$Uion.toth Ptnitentiary tytlenu Messrs. Swaim if- flifrwxxl: Tliiive no hopes that stir argument of line, can, on the Peniten tiary Sjpstein, change tho fixed" view of "Syl- vanus"1 wh en be says nave been long continued in " total opposition to it f but by your leave, I will make an attempt to. expose the fallacy of hia visionary argument against it, by applying the touchstone or " tratb' to which be ao emptiau. eally alludes. . I tract that " Editors throughout the State," who have published hia articles will aee proper to copy theae remarks, for as lie aaya " let the people hear the truth " The Conclusion which Mr. " Sylvanos" with an air of tnuninh unwarrantably assumes, is, that, ... iAkMni DffiitAntirw tiAp.MiAarilv inrrrmet crime 4 duablei na from removing ita canaea. now let ua aee whether' tbia conclusion necessarily follows from hia premises. If I ahow that it doea not, the whole e hia argument ia unavoidably refuted. J peg you to again examine hia conclg sion, and aee if yon do uot agree with me, that it ia unwarranted. Hie premises are that " the cause of crime ia the want of moral principl weak or perverted principle." That the strength of this moral principle "depeqde greatly on the correctness or children a education. And that the " cauaea 0 crime" can be " measurably re moved so as to prevent crime." See with what ingenuity he inserts the word measurably as a pivot to turn upon as convenience may demand, it will stand for IsrTge or small measure. If he meana the majnr'Jy of the people can be prevent- J r . 1 f . i eu irom me commission 01 crimes, 11 may. oe true; but if he means that the kind and number of crimes now committed can almost completely be . pradicateaV it is erroneous. -The experience of 6000 years, from the days of Cain' to the present, proves the reverse. But merely for the sake of argument, admit hia premises to be true. Does it necessarily follow, that we do not need a Peni. tentiary, and that to erect One would increase crime? IT he expected for this argument and conclusion to pans current with his readers, he must have calculated largely on their clouded mental vision. and "the inertia ol their nature, as I hough they were without a thought or idea ot their own 111 their. heads, and would swallow all down without reflection. What ! because by a correct moral "education" some of the "causes of crime can be removed," doea it necessarily follow, that to erect a fenitentiary would increase crime and mat it would thereby disable ua Irom "using our exertiona to prevent it! I he same argument would act with precisely the same force against all our laws. It would repe.il all our laws bn'h civil and criminal. That is the drift nf hia argu ment, for to uae his own words, "Then if crimen," (here he confounds crimes with llieir causes,) ' can be measurably prevented, the question may be asked should we use our' exertions to pre vent them, or shall we let them iiv.rcate or erect a Penitentiary m punish them." Willi the same propriety "Syivanus" might have asked, "if crimes can be measuraMy prevented, shall we use 9ur exertions to prevent them, or shall we let them increase" and pais laws " to punish them." That wemusl not pass laws to punish crime, for we thereby disable us from preventing Its cause, ia the amount of his argument, (if it means any thing) when stripped of the mystical abstractions that he has spun around it, to conceal its deformi ty, and " subjected to the ordeal of iruth," that he repeats with such emphasis. Will any one say that we could use our weapons with better suc cess against the causes of crime by permitting the robber, the murderer, the midnight assisnin, to go unpunished ! If so; it ia time he should direct his artillery against all dUr laws and have them repealed from our Statute book,- and let robbers, tnurderera, and assassins, overrun the country, and commit their crimes unmolested. Will any one advocate aurh an irrational policy? Yet this ia tha onljj lagiliniala iufarvrirp that we can draw from the absurd position which "Bylvanus" as- Bdbk. and not vestige of Jt left to remain !- JPOl Suppose ssyivsnus aawi re-tu;iu win the humanity and intelligence of tho State say that the demoralizing old " vagrant Uw.'J with its barbarous power of imprisoning a man for one month and if he can not pay the coats, to sell him for six months to an irresponsible master, with a power to inflict thirty-nfne Tashsa qo his bar 1 ?i . l .' . - duck win iney say SDcn a "law - naa as great a tendency to M remedy idleness as to confine tite convict to bard labor in 'a Penitentiary' where'1 be can learn deeds of industry, and have religU ous and moral instruction given him at proper times ! Certainly nothing could ever have ia duced " Sy Ivanus" to adopt this condemned 'va grant law to remedy idleness" but that M inertia in our nature" (as be so happily describes,)' " which inclines us to adopt and take for granted as true, many things merely from having beard 1 hem asserted from our early years, by those whom we regard as our superiors, and which will not bear the test of strict examination." Thia alone, must have cauaed him to adopt this absurd, . unreasonable and inhuman pol.cy of punishment. "Sylvanus s" mode of reform is as chimerical and viaionary as hia philosophical moralizing on crime and sin is just arid perspicuous. He says with much truth that " the crest pre-dispoaing cauae of crime is the want of moral principle a weak or perverted principle." Well when thia moral principle becomes perverted by crime, ahall we refrain from all punishment T This unques tionably none will sanction. Then the whole matter settles down to this plain question. How shall we punish criminals ao as most effectually to " reform" them 1 It must be either by banish ment which none now advocate, by our present mode, or by confinement in a Penitentiary. . It ia rarely if ever pretended by the great writers on criminal law, such ns Coke, Blackstone, Beccaria and others, that the iiiflictionof severe corporal punishment (such as branding, whipping, &c.) has a tendency to reform offenders. Its main ob ject is to "deter others from the commission of runes by the example. Jiut shut the ottenaer up in solitary confinement there to commune with the silent monitor of the heart his con science he there reflects on his crimes the scene of tho past the hopes of the future all at a single moment rush to his recollection, and overwhelm him with feelings of remorse. This will drive tho feelings of repentance to the crim inal's heart it he has any.

Y arsons .who have tneir own ousiness to aiiarno 10, nave not nine frequently, to give much attention to preparation for elections, an'd though they may be the very best of Whigs, they are apt to be.Jkeedp of the neans of success, from 4 me cause a woe ; soo. more especially, when a general idea is entertain ed that their candidate, owing to the diyiaions in the ranks of their opponents, is in no kind of dan ger. Now, we would not desire an opponent to hold an opinion more fatal to his success than thia! Get an enemy to believe that he is free from dancer, and then you bare more than half conquered Kim the remainder will be easily ac complished. It is well enough tor memo attend to tbeir own business, and we like to see them do it, but there are other duties required of them, which they should hot neglect ; and as it is pe culiarly a part of our kusinest to attend to thia matter, we do not intend to oe at fault with re gard to it Rutherford Republican. eumes. The great error that he has fallen into, is, that he would legislate for man as he should be, nut as he is. Were all men perfect infallible chris tians, aa they should be, thia Utopian acheine would do : we should then need no law. But is perfection the lot of man ! No. "The law is made for the wickfd and not for the riglUeous," is as true now as it- was 1800 yeara ago, when littered by its memorable, imm iculate author. Until the day arrives when man is infulliole we shall ever need laws ' to punish crime." He that imaginea otherwise, must be the wildegt of enthusiasts. . There is another position assumed by " Syl vanua" which I should not have noticed, were it not for Ihe purpose of showing how little reliance his bold assertions are entitled to. He aaya "the accumulation of wealth in a few hands, if it be used so as to furnish employment and comfortable subsistence to the great mass, will not drive men to the perpetration of crime." This may be true as to the beasts of the field which are contented with eating and drinking, and have no thought of the future. -But is this trot as to man ? Man may have a "comfortable subsistence" of f-iod1 and clothing and be "furnished with emDlovment" as conatant (if you please) as a slave, yet would that satisfy him! Would this narrow compass content the aspirations of a man of science of knowledge of reflection a man with a soul ! Suppose a law should "be passed placing the wealth in the hands of the few," and that the " great mass" should be supplied with food and clothing, and compelled to work for the wealthy "few, would it not lead to crime J Would it not be a sin of the deepest die 1 And do not the groaaest of sins lead to ' crime 7" God forbid, the da j should ever arise when such a law shall exist! It would cauae a revolution in twenty. four hours, and crime" and devaatation would riot through the land ! Sylvanos" must be, either ignorant of the object of a Penitentiary, or believe its advocates p-uilty of a wilful attempt to deceive the people, or that "they know not what they do." For he eaya "let them (the people) hear the truth," and asks " shall we prevent crimes, or let them in. crease and erect a Penitentiary to puniah them?" Ilia argument amounts to a charge of this ; if you ; erect a Penitentiary you increase crime and tie yoor hands from all moral reform of idlers snd drunkards 1 Suppose a drunkard commits lar ceny, and to puniBh him for it, he is shut up in tho cell of a Penitentiary for five or ten years at hard labor, and not permitted to taste a drop of intemperate drink," is there not a better chance to reform bim, and make aaober induatrioustnan of him, than to tie him to the whipping post and inflict thirty-nine lashes on hia bare back, exposed 1 to the gaze of hundreds of spectators ready to retail hia disgrace to posterity Or would Mr. - eyivanua (as is ouen the case) hare bim branded on the cheek, thus to wear tho mark of crime and eternal disgrace on bis countenance I which would render him Insensible to shatne, deaden the feelings to every mors! appeal and con firm bis depravity would (I ask,) such punish ments have a greater te- do icy to reform the criminal, than solitary toM ne oent for years in" a Penitentiary there at bard labor to learn a good trade, and habits of industry, apd thus acquire the means of making ao. hooest, support when hi term of service expire t ; '"EvIvaOUs" IIVI. fa-hlt nnn itnnttt w " idleness s i great source of crime.".

Dr. Shinklin must attend to this matter, and not suffer the stain on hia fair fame, of at tempting to eteal McConnell's hobby. Nevbernian. There is a distinguished Loco in the Siateof North Carolina, hy the name ofShanklin Dr. Shanklin who, aa we gather from the " North State Whig," has declared himself a candidate for the office of Governor. The Doctor has is sued his circular to all and singular, the Democ racy of the State aforesaid, and he usee thia lan guage in regard to one of the leading measures of his administration, should he be elected : " Tim next great measure of my administration, fellow-citizens, will be the annexation of Ireland. She ia the country of my birth ; she was the cradle that rocked 01 y infant genius, and fed my juveuile wants with clabber and potatoes. Ihe tie or grati tude to her, fellow citizens, is not yet -severed iu my boHoin. and I shall be happy to receive her under the guardian eare and protection of my GovernmeHt. Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, 1 am lor Ireland, my loved, my native land, my own dear Ire land." Now.against this, we enter our solemn protest. The annexation of Ireland is the peculiar meas sure of our own immediate Representative in Congress and we object to i:s being stolen from him In this uniier-lmnded manner. Stealing is well enough in ks place, but for one lioco Foco to steal from another, is wrong altogether and we will not put up with it. The Doctor must find some other hobby upon which to ride into power, if a hobby is necessary. Cuba and Cali fornia are both unappropriated, let hie; .take one of them. Tylerhad bis Texas; Polk his Oregon, why should Shanklin not havo his California! FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. In a speech delivered by that sound Whig, A. Stewart, of Pennsylvania, he contends " that a ' general system of defence, by means of rail ' roads, would be vastly better and more PtTectu ' al, (in an extended country like ours,) than any ' system of fortifications whicncould be devised ;" and so it would. Then, aa a means of defence along the Atlan tic coast, how Important, how necessary the com pletion of the line of railway, from New York to New Orleans, to say nothing of the advantages as a post route ! That member or that party in Congress who will carry out this connexion, will do much for the permanent., improvement, safety, and happi ness of the country. Look, in ease of war, how easily and promptly troops, arms, &c. could be transported from north to south ! Let New Orleanaor New York beat tacked the former, in case of war, will certainly be from the Mississippi, from the Atlantic, what a prompt rally of troops could be accomplished I Is it constitutional to build forta for defence, and to erect arsenals 1. Why not then to aid ia the construction of great highways for defence !--Is it constitutional to establish pojtt, offices and post routes? Why not aid in the certainty, se curity, tad facility of the transportation of the mail! Why will not the North Carolina, South Caro lina, Georgia, and Alabama representatives in Congress aee if they can do any thing towards this end ? This accomplished, they will have done aomething for which, in all time, they will receive the thanks of their constituents and of generations to come. Girdfning.

To breathe the pure atmosphere of Spring, to prepare tbe beds and borders for vegetables, planta'and fkiwers; to sow the seed, and aet out the varioua slips and cuttings, arranging every thing with - order nd taste, to look earnestly for the first leaf and bud and .flower ; to watch their growth, to enjoy their beauty and fragrance, to' show them to oneV friends, to talk about them, to have them ad mired, and to, i now that all 41 the work of your hands or directions this is an enjoyment scarce ly to be equalled, and accessible in ibis country to alL Let none then fail to secure it We al waya thought it evidenceof a good wife, to see her often in the garden, and fond of inspecting and attending to its proper cultivation and manage ment.

Have Rooues caught. About two weeks ago, two bolts of domestic cloth were stolen from the store of Nathaniel J. Palmer, Esq., (qtherafticles might have been book'd, but there was no Knowing) How and who stole the cloth, was the mystery. The cloth was atolea Saturday night before last, and the genlIemanwho. attends to the store thought it impossible that jt had been taken while be was oflicialiiigas Clerk in lbs Store. He mentioned the matter to "Old Hayes," alias Thos. 8. Poors.ur Constable and Deputy Shch iff, who put himself on the look out. The thought occurred to him that some one had entered tbe Cellar, by the aid of an extra key, and bad ascen ded into the store through a 'trap door. So he made the cellar hia bed chamber for several nights. On Saturday night last, about half past o'clock, always on a bright look out, "Old Hayes' spied the approach of three negro lei lows all barefoot; Easily they unlocked Ihe cellar door, and slowly they opened it. The fellows were arrested, and their hides lashed from head to foot This led to the exposure and detection of a finish ed system of Roguery having been carried on in Milton for some tune, by other negroes. And such another whipping and slashing of negroes as we have had here this week, is unparalleled in these d ggins. The rogues had a Key for al most every man's meat-houe, corn-crib, money drawer, &c , in town including "neighbor Jones" Tin Shop. One fellow is represented to have a free negro, named May ho, out ppddling on Heat, Tin, tec , for him he eaya that "Meat and Tin sell well." It v" - lhal certain free negroes in thia vicinity, have enjoyed, in a great degreo, the benefit of stolen articles and our belief is that al least one half of the numerous free negroes that infest our community, live by stealing, or by the stealing of slave. We expressed thia belief Ping ago. And we furthermore told the Honor able Board of Commissioners that their Patrol Law was not worth a fig, which requires the Town to be Patrolled from U untill 12 o'clock the reason is obvious.

On Monday morn ing, the dead body of Frank De Silva, a Portu guese, was discovered in a small Grocery shop kept by him near the Rail Road bridge, with the' skull broken in, and wounds upon the face, as though inflicted by an axe, manifestly the victim of a murderous assault sometime during the pre vious night. He slept in the shop, alone. The body was partly undressed, lying on the floor, and it would appear that the murder was committed whilst he was drawing liquor. Tbe shop door was open in the morning, having thefcey on the inside. It is probable that he was aroused from his bed by the murderer under the pretence of procuring liquor, and despatched when drawing it. Robbery , of money in the shop followed the murder, but to what amount cannot be ascertain ed. The Coroner nf the county, Mr. Martini had a jury of inquest summoned, w ho rendered a ver dict that the murder was committed by some per son or persons unknown. Chronicle. SHIPPING &g. AT OCRACOKE BAR. Capt. John 5. Hunter, Assistant Collector at Portsmouth, has kept an account of the average imports, arrivals and departures of the Bar, lor the year ending April 1st, 1846. We feel under obligations to linn for1 furnishing the following statement for publication : From' April 1st, 1845, to April lat. 1846, tho following imports which crossed Ucracofte. liar were as follcws : 85,275 bushela of salt 78,233 dollars specie. 479 hhds. molasses.

M WebaW ros&jnd said 1 I have a few, "end but a few. remarks to make on the President's message in answer to the resolution of the House of Representatives calling for an account of the disbursements, during the period ia which 1 bad mo nonor to be eecretarv of State, out of tha mum lor wis contingent exposes of fcwstgn inter codrse. ' . 4 la the fffst place, sir, I am happy to say that I entirely approve the course of proceeding wnicn ine rreswient has adopted, in my judg ment, he could not have acted otherwise than he has dona, without the violation of law and of bie own duty. Sir, eel know that not n dollar was disbursed from that fund without the eanctlon of he President, and as I ant conscious that everv unuuinenieui was Ksae tor a proper and neces sary public purpose, it mieht be thought that I should desire tbe publication of tbe papers, in or der that every body might know what thev are. or what they show- But this is a matter of ao little concernment to me -(and 1 presume it Is of aa lime to the late President; that I certainly would not wish' to aee an important principle, and an important law, violated and broken for any personal convenience ia that respect. I am not at all apprehensive that lha countrv will snanect either President Tyler, or me. actinir under his authority, of any thing improper in the disburse ment or a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, in a case in which the law reposea confidence in the Preaident and eivea bim a discretion aa to making the expenditure public. Sir, a President of tbe United States, or the head of a department acting by hie authority, must think but noorlv of his own refutation and standing with the countrv. if he is afraid of beinff suspected of having violated hia duty and bis oath in a matter ol so tittle moment I will add, that a person who entertains such a suspicion without reason, of any public man, may himself be well suspected of having held a no very complimenta ry dialogue with himself. ir, we all know that the head of a department cannot touch a dollar of thia fund except with the President's sanction. The whole power, and the whole responsibility, is with tho President. The President's message slates this so fullv and clearly that I need not dwell upon it I will say in the nrst place, that no expenditure, improper in itself, or improper in us amount, was made. to my knowledge, judgment, or belief.. And I will say, in the next place, that the late Presi dent' of the United States, in all things respect ing tne expenditure ot the public money, was re markably cautious, exact, and particnlar. And 1 here say, sir, that all declarations, aver ments, statements, or insinuations, made any where, or by any body, which impute perversion, misapplication, or, waste of the public funds, com mitted or made by me while Secretary of State, are utterly groundless and untrue. And I will conclude with one remark, the bearing ot which 1 shall leave to the Senate and to the country. Whoever charges mo with having misapplied or wasted the public funds, while in tbe Lie part ment or State, has either seen the papers, or has, in some other way, obtained knowledge on the euriect or he bas not. II he has seen no pa pers, and has no knowledge, then his imputations are purely wanton and slanderous. If he has seen the papers, or has any knowledge, then he would be sure to state what he knows, it he knows any thing to sustain him in his charge. Silence, under such circumstances, is conclusive that he knows nothing; because he is under no obligation of secresy, and, in absence of all other proot, he would of course telLall he knew, it he knew any thing which could, in tbe slightest de gree, bear li I nt out The charge, therefore, was either made in utter ignorance of any facta to support it, or else with the knowledge that tbe facta which do exist would if made known entire ly disprov.e it. As to the source of this misera ble vituperation, I have nothing to say. I am a fraid 1 shall be thought to have paid too much' attention to it already. Sir, I leave the author of these slanders where he is I leave him in the worst company I know of in the world I leave him with himself. BANK AGENCY AT SALEM. We understand that it is in contemplation to make an effort at the next meeting of the Stock holders of the Bank of Cape Fear to remove their Agency from Salem ; with A view, perhaps, of establishing an agency in the Eaatern part of the State; We trust that? such removal may not be effected. This Agency bas been established for more than a quarter of a century, and has become so thoroughly incorporated with the business of the surrounding country, that a very serious in convenience would be felt by the community, should the facilities it affords be taken away. The business men of nearly all the northwea tern portion of the State feel that they have al most a prescriptire right to money, accommoda tions attSalem : and we do not know that the Stockholders could we'll furnish stronger evi dence of the truth of the saying, that "banks have no souls," than by the removal of this long es tablished Agency.

By a letter from New Haven, Conn., furnish, ed us by a friend, we learn that Professor Olm stead of Yale College, recently met with a nar row eacape of his life, by an explosion of a glass tube, whilst engaged in some scientific experi ments. The following are the particulars. Baltimore Sun. "Professor Olmstead lately met with what might have been called a very serious accident He waa preparing experiments for a lecture with the lapge electrical machine. Among other arti cles of apparatus he bad an elliptical glass recei ver of the capacity of between one or two quarts mounted and arranged for the introduction of va rious gases, and the passage of the electric spark through these various media. He first exhaus ted the air from the vessel and then he placed a drop or two of ether on the stop-cock, and 0 pening the key it flashed into vapor, forming an ethereal atmosphere, through which the spark passes Thinking to make the light more vivid, he then condensed air within the veasel to the amount, probably, ef twice ita volume. He then held the vessel by the step cock with one hand, and presenting the brass mounting at the other end to the prime conductor, turned the machine, when a most violent explosion took place the report of which waa heard as far as the library building. Tbe glass was driven in every direc tion to the remotest corners ot the room. Some of the larger fragments struck three of the glass cylinders of tbe machine, completely demolish. iog them. Tbe fourth was struck upon the an. gle, where it was strongest, by some unknown article, With such force that jt was pierced with a well defined bole, like that made when a pistol ball is fired againat a window. Fragments of class were left sticking in the thick brass of the prime conddctora ; in a word, the marks of vio lence were most extreme, a no rroiessor s ea- cane was truly Providential. At first lie waa atunned and deafened by the report, but aoon re coverins- himself he found hie face cot in various places with the fragmenta of glass, and hia left apectacle glasf s trues oy semeinmg wnicn nan driven it out sgainat and into hia eye. fie was alone and in a dark room, but soon succeeded in getting" assistance and after removing the blood atains aa well he could, made the best of bis way home.
