Looking At the prospects of thegrcafc WhigParty in all its phases, there ia every thing to encourage the friends of good government in the future, and but little Jin the retrospect to daiapen the ardor of the most enthusiastic. And in taking this retrospect, lrhtle xfc behold our country involved in all Jhe dif ficulties which the Whigs predicted would be! the result of the success of their opponents, in the last Presidential struggle, there is great reason for con gratulation, that the People have awakened from the infatuated dreams a. which 'they indulged in that memorable era of giiffi6lHtyind Kane Letter celebrity, and are beginning to cast off the.entempt ible shackles which so ignobly bound them, and to de clare fcr theon2titutioa and their Country.

Can it be sup posed that the free and enlighteued People of this Government can longer rely on; what that party may say, whose Executive, on the; opening of Con gress in Pecember 1845, congratulated the Repre sentatives of the Union, that wo were enjoying un interrupted peace with all the world, and that the War, which had been predicted Would grow out of the Annexation of Texas, had not and rtould not come upon us ; and yet, before that same Session had ended, the same President announces in a Message to this st un Congress, that War already actually existed ! It is a presumption desradins to our Na tional character, and one which ice are not willing to admit - I What ! to believe that the People can hear on the wings of every breeze that comes! from the South, of thejacjlficf feu conquest, uncalled for by National honor, ana un sanctioned by the wisest and best of our Statesmen, and then remember that it was boastingly proclaim ed to be a "bloodless conquest" ! How can we, un less we admit our citizens to be base menials and slaves, believe for a moment that they will silently submit to these fatal impositions, and quietly en dorse their ruinous effects, by sustaining the party, whose mischievous schemes brought these evils upon them ! Let him who thus presumes, upon the dis cernment and judgment of the Freemen of the United States, but take a glance into the prospective, and he may there read the abhorrence and wrath of an injured and insulted people and witness the gath ering of that storm which is rising to rebuke and overthrow that party which has thrown our former happy Government into all the horrors of a foreign War. " And what, pray, can the People hope to gain by We are still of the same opinion a continuance of the present dynasty In power T a in the artichs referred to we do Already have they involved us in a most bloody and expensive War; already does the country groan under a most tremendous and heavy National debt, which is every day increasing to an alarming and unparalleled extent ; thousands upon thousands of our fellow-citizens have rallied under the proud standard of our country, and by far the largest por tion of them have either enriched the battle-plain with their heart's blood, or fallen a prey to the nox ious clime of infectious Mexico and still the tocsin sounds still the Recruiting Officer's drum is heard for more men to glut the insatiable appetite of this Moloch, War ! Tho widow clothed in weeds, the anguish of orphaned childhood, and the bowed head of the hoary matron and "sire in every part (.of our country, tell that its ravages have entered their family circle and robbed them of their brightest and dearest jewels. Think ye that men are stones, and discern not these things and their origin and cause! Upon the aroused, patriotic and indignant judg-. ment of a deceived people, frevrely for. a change for the better. Nor shall we rely in vain. Already does a bright harbinger dawn upon our vision, and the elections of the Fall of i 1847, are but the pre cursors of the mighty whirlwind which is gathering, and which will, in 1548, sweep from their abused high places the guilty authors of our country's woe. Well may they endeavor to draw the attention of the People from the Mexican War, by ringing again upon the ear the abused and hacknied phrases of Tariff, Sub-Treasury and1 National Bank. It is good policy in them to attempt this, knowing as they do, that if the Administration is judged by the War issue, vain is the hope of their continuance in power. But the people Will not be led astray by any of the Will-o'-t he- Wis ps which they may raise tfor they are well aware, that if this War continues, a bur densome Tariff must of necessity be entailed upon them to defray the expenses of Government; and as to a Sub-Trqasury or National Bank, it will have need for neither, for the Government will he Kitilr. rupt, and be destitute of funds to deposite in either. Let us, then, adopt for our motto, the language of a celebrated Roman General " Ducit amot ' patriae1" LATER FROM EUR0PE.

Diversion of Troops. We have a letter from the Brazos dated the 5th instant, mentioning the ru mor as current there, that Gen. Hopping might be shortly expected there, with a considerable body of troops to embark for Vera Cruz. It is quite sure that such troops as Gen. Taylor can spare, now that the advance upon San Luis Potosi is definitively a bandoncd, will very shortly embark frem the Rio Grande for Vera Cruz, it is altogether probable that several general officers will bo detached from uen. 1 aylor's column to repair to the line from Ve ra Cruz. But a little time will elapse, we trust, be fore communications will be entirely re-established between Vera Cruz and the Capital. Picayune. The Crops. The Editor of this paper remarks, in a letter from New York, that never in his life has he seen such luxuriant crops of Corn as are pre sented this season, not only in North Carolina, but on the whole route from Fayetteville to New York. Breadstuffs will undoubtedly be very cheap for a year te come. Gentlemen from the North Eastern part of the State, from which so much Corn is usual ly exported, are beginning to inquire anxiously where they will find a market for their surplus grain, those to which they have usually shipped having be come exporters instead of importers. , As the Locofoco party claimed the late high prices of Flour and Corn as the result of the Tariff f 1846, and a benefit conferred thereby on the Farmers, what do they think of the low prices-how account for t hem ? 'Free Trade" was to open such a market in England for our farmers as was to make them all rich ; but now Flour and Corn are about as low in England jas they are in our own town. Of course .they cannot be shipped. FaycttttUle Observer. ?. Another Telegr aph Route.

Raleigh, Sept. 2, 1847. ?1 t To the Public, G5TIHE Subscriber proposes to. publish in Lomw- . JL our. Franklin County. N C. a Weekly Po litical. Literary, and Miscellaneous Paper, to be called THE XORTH CAROLINA TIHES, In presenting himself to the Public, the Subscriber claims i be righ of pursuing the occupation for which, bis edaca' t and talents qualify him, as the best mode ofAportingbis family, in that portion of hi native fate whih he considers his home. Ut6 Public hare a right to know the principles of tha Taper they are desired to support j and a brief ex ' position of those principles (such as the limits of a Prospectus will allow,) is accordingly submitted. We believe the principles of the Whig Parly to' be patriotic andii&hXutlfiey meet out hearty -concurrence, and shall teceive oftr warm support. Wis' have nothing hut those principles to interpose against the progressive strides of innovation, which even now run into the exfreme, that desire and expediency, a i hirst for aggrandizement, and the power to satisfy ii, usurp the place of Law and the Constitution, and right and justice; and confer upon the dominant . party liberty to do whatever tbey will, regardless of the barriers thrown around them by the Constitution as well as the usages of tbe Government. The Whg Party disavow such purposes, such measures ; deny the right, see the evils, and appeal to the Con stitutiun. We believe that ihe present Administration,. by hi corrupt act, and high-handed and illegal measures h s done more 'te break down the wholesome re- i strainis of the Constitution, and to impair orr confiJ dencefn the stability of that instrument on which thef Union of the Slates depend., than any which bast preceded it ; aud that it is now pursuing a course of measures, which r if not promptly checked, ma . wreck bo.h Union and Liberty. Hut, while we oppose the present Administration and the Party which is responsible for the mischiefsi it has brought upon the Country, detraction and abuse shall never find a place in the columns undef our control. Our chit f aim shal, be a fair and manly exposition and urfence of those principles on which we believe our Prosperity, Unity, Greatness, and Happiness depend ; and we shall diseard all person-' aliiy and invective, as offensive alike to good manners, and deleterious in their effect upon the public morals. The Literary and Miscellaneous Departments otjP the Paper shall receive the Editor's close itientien $ snd he will be assisted by writers of known ttbiltiy. He will slso endeavor to make the News Department full and authentic while the Panning and Com mercial interests shall each week receive such inleU ligenre of Commerce and the Markets, as will keep: them well informed of ihe rise and fall cif Produce, and the tendency of Mercantile transactions. , CH. C. KABOr&AU. $100 Reward! riT AN AW AY from the Subscriber on the 14th of jjjk June, a very bright mulatto woman, about. 23 or 4 years of age, likely and well dressed, about 5 feet 3 or 4 inches high. Her front teeth are large and separated, hair long, straight aud black, had a Portmanteau or Travelling Bag. Her mistress thiuks she usually wore a gentleman's gold shirt button in her bosom, has a number of warts on her bands, is a first-rate sempstress aud laundress, aud is well skilled in every department of hoMshold busi ness. Her object, I presume, is to go North. On the 16ih June she was seen lo take the cars at Belfield, and went to Weldoo, where she remained until the 18th whilst there, she recommended her iaelf as a sempstress. 1 have no doubt her object is to get to a free State, as I am not aware of any good cause for her leaving save the love of liberty. There are no marks remembered, as she has never been whipped in her life that I know of. At Belfield and Weldon, she called herself Martha Payn, and said ehe was free her proper name EtKABETH, aud sometimes calls herself Elizabeth ScotU Some of her clothes are probably marked with the letters L S. Some of her clothes are probably marked with tbe letter E. S. She caa read print, and may at tempt to disguise herself. Some worthless white man, it is thought, has given her a pass since she left Belfield, and may otherwise assist her to escape. I will pay ONE HUNUKbUWbUflRo io any on who will confine her iu jail so mai i ge mr Southampton counly, Va. Sept. 2. 7i w3w P. S.
