that thejirtt Assembly, that met in Raleigh, was on

ABUSE OF THE BANKS. "
Nothing ia more common than to heur Banks, and
II connected wilh them, abused, because they do not
lend out money aa abundantly, an ia demanded by the
wants of the community. They are supposed to have
the power to relieve, and refuse, wanto.uly, to exer
ciaa it. Bait a momenta consideration will satisfy any
one, that audi a supposition does any Bank great in
justice. In the first place, Banks live by the custom
they receive, a do Merchants or Traders. In
proportion aa thia custom ia crumped or limited, o are
their gains lessened. To refuse then to make a loan,
when they can safely do so. is directly Wile to the
interests of a Bank. Besides, it cannot be supposed,
with reason, that Banks (which is but anplhet. name
for those who conduct their operation,) can be in
edible to the wauls of those around them, and ha
ting the power to relieve or mitigate them, yet re
fuse to do so. ' Why should a few cilizena, became
they happen to manage a Bank, wantonly cause the
ruin of othera ? To say nothing of the almost impos
sibility of the existence of such a demoniac spirit, a
regard for their own security would prevent its indul
gence by Bauk Directors, even if entertained, since
ju-t as their dealers are unsuccessful, or become crip
pled, so, in that same proportion, do the Banks' suffer.
We know, that persona are frequently mortified and
inconvaaianced by inability to obtain loans, but they
Buy depend upon it. that no unkind feelings are en
tertained towards them by the Banks, and their dis
appointment, nine times out of ten, is either their
awu fauit, or produced by causes, which Banka can
not control, such ai the hostility or the Government,
Its tampering with the Currency,. &c. .
UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAW."
Lard Chief Justice DcGair. in the case of Rex .
HosftK. observes that we have no precise idea ofUie
signification of the term ' certainty," which, says he,
is aa indefinite as any word that can be naed.
That old pedant, Loft Com, attempted to reduce
11 certainty" to something like certainty, and givea it
this luminous classification :
1st. Certainty to a common intent ;
2nd. Certainty to a certain iutenl in general ;
3 ii1. Certainty to a certain extent in every partic
ular. This is moat certainly aa clear as mud."
RATHER FAST!
Tli "North Carolinian," printed at Fayetteville,
gravely announces aa the Democratic candidate for
the Senatorial District, composed of Blsden, Bruna
wick and Columbus, a gentleman who, it turns out,
a is been dead full twelve montht .'
tT The " Wilmington Journal'' Bays The pre
seut population of that Town and its environs, is
said to reach 9,000. When the Rail Road to Wel
don was first built, six years ago, it was but 3,000;
nd that small but enterprising body of citizens, to
their honar be it said, subscribed to its erection an
mount larger than the then value of all the Real
Ealat within its limits.

The accounts of the Potatoe crop appear to b dis
astrous CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL.
Having met with the following anecdote, publish
ed originally in, this p(wr. soma years ago, we have
concluded to start it again, far there never was any
thing more characteristic of the great man, whose
name heads this article, than the incident here re
corded :
" We heard recently an anecdote of this distin
guishednan, which so strongly illustrates the digni
ty aud simplicity of his character, that we venture to
relate it, hoping it may come into the hands of his fu
ture biographer, and be woven into the thiead of his
narrative. It occurred in this city, on the occasion
of one of Ihe Cliirf Justice's visits to hold Hie Federal
Court for this District. The old ( rier of ihe Conn
having removed or died, the Marshall, Ceil. Daniel,
selecied a new recruit, and gave him, some days before-hand.
Ilia necessary Proclamations aud tonus to
commit to memory, that he might be an fail when
the Court met. The important day at length arriv
ed, and the Crier, with Ins ' task well con tied," made
his appearance, attracting the attention of every one.
bv the loftiness of his stride, and an air uf conscious
self-importance which he made no effort to conceal.
Every thing weut off admirably at first. The Pro
clamation to Jurors, Witnesses, Sec , were roared out
sonorously, and the time bavin arrived for charging
the Grand Jury, the Chief Justice pulled out his
well-thumbed paper, and wailing a few moments for
the usual caution of silence to be given bv the ('rier,
"but observing no movement to that effect, commen
ced his Charge. He had proceeded some way iu il,
when the Crier, aroused from his reverie, found what
was going on. and wilh the quickness of thought, step
ped into the bar room, between the Court and
the Jury and addreawng the Judge iu a .manda
tory voice, cried " Stop Sir ! Stop Sir Stop Sir !"
The Chief Justice, who seemed lo see iu a moment
through the whole transaciiou, instead of ordering
the Crier lo prison for a contempt, stopped, a com
manded, and quietly aweiled ihe result. A dead
silence reigned throughout the t 'ourt. The fall of a
pill might have been heard. What now, menially
exclaimed each beating Isisom? The astonishment
depicted on every countenance may well be imagined,
when the Crier, drawing himself up lo his full length,
bawled out
" O ye ! O ye ! O yet ! All manner of persons
are required to Keep silence, upon pain of imprisou
nieoi, while Ihe Honorable Judge is giving his Charge
to the Crund Jury."
When he had finished thia Proclamation, he turned
to Ihe Court, with an air of complacency, and a
rave of the hand, and said lo the Chief Justice
' You may go on Sir." Every one expected to see
the unfortunate Crier , et lo Jail, as a mailer uf
course, but, without cracking smile, the Chief Jus
tice commenced his charge de novo, and went through
as though nnthiugtjiad happened. He sew, at once,
that the conduct of the Crier proceeded from no dis
respect to the Court, but Voihlg'tYorance, and a desire
to perform his duty punctiliously, and with Ihe kiod
uess, so characteristic of the man, overlooked the
whole affair. But the scene was one, worthy of ihe
pencil of Hooabth, and deserve to M recorded to the
honor of that great and good man, who has paused
from earth to' his reward iu Heaven."

MR. 'wAYWOOD'S .ADDRESS.
We this) week l .y iiefnre our reader .Mr. Hay-
wood's vindication which we presume all will be
enwmua lo see, AHr having given il a calm and
attentive perusal, we have cntne to the conclu
sion, tlMl Mr. Haywood not only vindicates, linn
pull fully from all the charges made against him ;
hut iroes far enough to shmv his enemies and the
leaders ol h's party, that they are pnllinrr at t fie
wroin gtrinrr. As lo his rosii'tiin instead of vn
tini; anninsi the hill, every one must lorni Ins
own opinion : bill nil inti lligetit ami reasonable
men must, wo think, he ciitivinccil, that lie was
influenced hv high and pittnctc motives. The
jrreat sarrilice thai lie, lias made, lo iving hi.s de
fence out of the question, will not permit us to
come to any oilier conclusion Hut W lugs and
Democrats never ran see alike ; ail the Demo
cratic Editors are pouring cnld water upon Mr.
Hay wood's head in per lee I torrents. Their sen
timents are precisely what they were beloro his
vindication was published; some pi them curt
detnn it before they read it, and a few of them
are unwilling In publish it, because it will crowd
out a oreat deal that seems lo answer their pur
pose better, and will be infinitely more tnterea
ting- to their readers. What A change here's !
What is the cause of it ? Thrpe months ago Mr.
Haywood was the idol of his party in North Ca
rolina there was none like him ho was lauded
to the skies. He ranked with the most eminent
of Ins parly in the ISe-nate of the United Si nes,
waa the confidential and bosom friend of ihe Pre
sident, and did more towards rescuing htm (mni
hia unfortunate and dangerous position on the
Oregon question than any member in Congress.
This was all right in theesliuiatinn ol Democrats.
Thero was no"pot-siluliiy tltat the President was
in error ; and o long as Mr. Haywood defended
hitn w ith his accustomed ability, and assisted iu
bearing; aloft the Democratic banner, so long
he was the most patriotic, man in the old North
State Randolph Herald.
" Call you this a backing of your friends?
" A plague on si.ch backing, say I."
The " Ohio Statesman," a Democratic paper,
in a tit of disappointment and wrath at Mr. Polk's
late velo of Ihe River and Harbor Hill ha for
sworn its allegiance, and (in the words of the U
niou) has "dealt in the most discourteous and
disrespectful expressions towards the President's
character and composition." "If tins," says the
venerable Editor, wilh tears in his eyes, "Se the
language of a Democratic friend, we are curious
lo see how' much further our Whig opponent
may go in their abue J"
The inquiry is a very natural one; but the
Whig; Press of late have found it totally unneces
sary lo trouble the President ; they have left him
to ihe tender uicrcies" ol his friends of the
North and Vet. The cohesive power of pub
lie plunder" seems waxing weak, and the part v
begin to present a series nf 'dissolving views"
to ihose who have witnessed the lam i-elonmin-cea'at

WHIG PREDICTIONS FULFILLED.
The Auburn Journal justly remarks that all the
pcdiclions made by the Whig in 1844. in regard
to lha consequences nf the election of Mr. I'oi.k
to Ihe Presidency, have been fulfilled. Vhij.rs
prophesied the annexation of Texas nd a conse.
qtient war with Mexico. Well, Texas was an
nexed, and we are engaged in a war with Mexi
co, which this year will cost over a hundred mil
m.uuliill.irs Whigs prophesied the destruc
tion of the Tariff of lj-;J. and the substitution of
lar-fl" that uould render the National Treasury
bankrurit, and hring ruin upon the great interests
of the country, for the benefit of (jreat Britain.
The tariff of lp)4v! has been repealed, and we have
a tariff (which, but fur ihe annexation of Texas,
we should not have ; fur Ihe bill would not have
passed but fr the votes of 'IVxas Senators; that
will not yield over iif;ht&en millions of revenue,
whilst the Government exiienses are a hiindiiei)
MILLIONS ; and, as a dire t consequence ol Inch,
mtniifacturi'ig establishments of various kinds,
all over the cnuntrv, are already ceasing their
opr itio'tg, and thousands nf laborers are daily dis
charge ; tint reducing the wages of labor, and
cutting off a market for and reducing the prices
of, the agricultural productions of the country.
The Whigs, too, proiihesied the re -enactment of
(he Stilitreasury. This odious measure has jiisl
pissed Congress. We thus have thanks to the
election ot James K I'olk n war with Mexico,
a war upon the domestic, industry, and a war up
on i lie currency of l he count ry, and all because
Northern demagogues hive been willing in bar
gain awav to lha South all 'he great interests of
the North, for official spoils, iu possession or in
expectancy li such is hut the begiiiuillij, what
is lo be Ihe fnu .' Huston Alias.

A TRUTH FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
We have alwaysheld that protection ia of
more importance to the agriculturists ihan to any
other class of citizens, w hich the following letter
from South Carolina, published in llin Charleston
Mercury, the Free-Trade organ, of iho i!!)ih of
Jul", fully admits and conclusively shows. Even
iu South Carolina, the very hot-bed of the anti
Protectionist, we find that the lavonle policy uf
the country is avowed by some, who have not
allowed their better judgments to be clouded by
fiee trade dogmas and daiineroua theories

THE FIRST HALF, OF COTTON'.
In the Charleston City IStti'tle, of April VI,
we lind a notice of the first hale of cotton
produced in the United Stales. It is curious
from ihe fart thai the editor seems to have an
ticipated, on an humble scale perhaps, but still
correctly, the importance of the culture. We
therefore copy it :
" A correspondent has favored us wilh Ihe fol
lowing information, winch he tell us may be re.
lied on: A jjentleinan in Christ Church Paris
planted one acre of laud with colton seed, v I ich
lias produced hag o! i-ollon wool weighing 'Jii7
lbs. licit; this ho has sold at 15 pence per pound,
so tint he got for the whole 1(I- I.'Is. l)J ; it was
on examination of an exceeding good quality ;
Iho planter declares lh.it had he attended it pro.
perly it would lone produced more, lie further
says that one of his hand could with ease take
caro of seveifor eight acres, iittlil the cotton is
ready to take it, at wliii h time lie must have the
assistance of small in groes'to pick and cany it
into saletv. As the mode of cleaning it in this
country lortnrrly is what ihe planter disl.ke, we
have Ihe pleasure lo ad. I that there are persons
ill this Stale who can make the necessary ma
chines for picking it as well as for carding and
spinning it. This conimoilily bids fair In bee e
a principal staple- arncie of export fiom th.a Stale;
lor il one negro can manage seven ;k res ol cot
ton, and it sells at the above price only, Ins labor
will bring his owner in 1101 Pis. Ild per annum,
supposing also ih.it each acre of land produces
only 7(i Ins. of cotton. It is weH known that
ihe cotton manfactones in (Jreat Hrirni n-will lake
hiiy jiuaniily that the Stale can raise, as Ihey are
deemed bv good jniloes to be now only in their
infancy. Land ih.it is unlit for rice or corn will
yield colton ; as negroes in raising this art tele
will have no occasion towel their feel, they will
of course be moie healthy, and will live longer
than they do hv raising rtcc in swamps. He
sides w hich, as they will bo able lo earn so unit h
money by the cultivation of it, the planters will
then raiBe the value of every negro now iu th.a
Stale."
