"UNTO TEte BREACH 1" We noticed in our last that a meeting had been held at Salisbury, enthusiastically commending the action of the recent Legislature with regard to In ternal Improvement, and that a call had been made for a similar meeting of tbe citizens of Guilford. We would respectfully .suggest the importance, of such meetings of the people at all those points inter ested in the matter. In other quarters, where great works of Internal Improvement have been projected, such conventions of the people have been held, and measures taken to have them foily attended plain, practical speeches have been delivered, and pertinent facts brought for ward for consideration. In this manner, in different portions of the Uniou, the feelings ef the people have been aroused, the warmest interest enlisted, and subscriptions obtained amply sufficient for the de sired object. Why may not a similar course be pro ductive of similar results in North Carolina? It is noLirotn $1 nostnlMt otlaa..rf thaom uuHMjr, ma we mum ntainiy expect to realize the fund necessary for the accomplishment of these en terprizes. It is upon our men of moderate means among whom aro to be fonnd the mniority of our puolic spirited citizens of every occupation that we may chiefly rely for assistance in their vigorous pros ecution Many of the former clasa, it is true, have Hitherto subscribed liberally to these projects, and manifested a most creditable solicitude for their suc cess ; but as their grand desien and certain tenden cy is, by facilitating transportation, and opening marts for produce, to benefit not so much the monied. as the substantial agricultural and manufacturing interests of the community, it is but reasonable that the latter should principally and most confidently be looked up to for support and aid. There is too- considerations of self-interest aside a common cen tre about which all can rally and co-operate : the ad vancement of the credit and the elevation of the charac ter of the State f If every man pursues his own pri vate interests, with an eye to nothiost else : if hia " u t whole soul is bent upon accumulation for himself: if he deems it but a dream of enthusiasm to have ac count of the public welfare, he is not faithful to the country, nor the age in which he lives. He is not qualified to act his part now, and here. In some other period, when no hope was rising before the vision in some other land, where all public spirit and all cheering promise were pressed down beneath tbe iron rule of arbitrary power, he might have ac ted such a part with some, excuse but not now. we repeat, and not here Haply, in the labor before us, no sacrifice is required at the hands of any man we have but to contribute a trifling portion of the amount yearly drawn off to swell the coffers of other States, and the work of regeneration is commenced. The ' prosperity and pride of the State demand it. Now while our sister States on the North and South are straining every nerve to better their condition, shall we continue to fold our arms in apathy, and suffer i the facilities within our reach to pass unimproved? again occur; advantages now neglected may be sought hereafter in vain.

Whatever air of mystery may have hitherto sur rounded the history of North Carolina, during its colonial existence, is dissipated by tbe discovery of the State and other papers of that period, the publi cation of which we commence to-day. Whatever of skepticism too as to tbe important and prominent pan our aiate oore in the transactions of that event ful era, imperfectly communicated to us, it is true, by the oral tradition of our elders, must now be ban ished before the light of truth. And yet we cannot wonder much at the incredulity of those, who have been slow in acknowledging our prior claims to this intrepid and patriotic movement That an isolated and limited body of men, with no other reliance than upon the rectitude of their cause, should have ab jured all allegiance to a great and powerful King dom, in whose hands were the thunderbolts of war and at whose feet was the crushed power of an hun dred provinces, is indeed almost incredible. The extraordinary declaration of oneof tjie Resolves, that u they be in full force and virtue, until the legisla tive body of Great Britain resign its unjust and ar bitrary pretensions with respect to America," is full of that patriotic determination which animated the Spartan band of three hundred to contend against the Persian host of old. The North Carolina read er, then, superadded to the emotions with which he ordinarily peruses the history of the Revolutionary times, will feel his State pride glow more brightly within him at this authentic narrative of the valor, the moral firmness, the unconquerable will of those patriots, "Who, firmly good in a corrupted state, Against the rage of tyrants singly stood, Invincible." As to the matters in dispute relative to the two Declarations the Mecklenburg Declaration as dis tinguished from the Resolves &c, we are at present endeavoring to gather from different sources some opinion on the premises. ''History is philosophy teaching by example."- Let us learn a lesson from the heroic devotion of our fathers- Let us prove as sedulous in. preser ving and defending the bonds of our happy Union, as they were self-sacrificing in their efforts to cultivate and strengthen them. Let not North Carolina shame hrr reputation of having been the first to in vite a Union of these States, by lending her coun- She protocol. j imnm vxeiuuing, we snail not publish the President's late message, communicating certain information, in reply to a resolution intro duced by Mr, Stephens, relative to the Mexican Treaty. Th President's positions however are briefly these ; jirst, that the Protocol and Treaty do not differ; secpnd, that if they do, the Protocol is of no force ; thirf, that the subject was too trifling to communicate to Congress. " The first pcjltion assumed involves some -very se riousconsidertliohs. Who gave to the President or his aJriaers-the right to declare that fhe Senate's amendments rre not alterations of tne orignal Treaty ? Is il not especially stranee and Bunn. table, that tbs President should so regard these amendments, hen he himself had recommended the amendment cone of these same orignal articles? Forf the amendments do not Tary the original Treaty, if they mean nothine. where was h n. Aaht ihi second position, that the Protocol is of no forbe, the objection occurs that if the Mexican GovTsment, as contended, was deluded into a reli ance ipon it, the act at least, was oneof bad faith uponourpart. And if so, the President's opinion as to its immateriality betrays an unfairness of di plomacy, inconsistent with the American character. As to the third positioo, that the subject was too trifling to be communicated to Congress, we can not do tetter than copy the following commeuts thereon from that able and sterling Journal, the Norfolk Herald :" The excuse alleged for this neglect is, that there was nothing in the prDtocofwhich was essential lo be commuuicated lo Congress or the country. It may be so ; and we do uot know that any practical benefit to the country will nula from the exposure of this mutance of executive defectiou : ms for undoing what has beeo done, no ode can thitik of lhat. But it may be useful nevertheless, hr arTorrlincr n-m nH startling evideuce of the little estimatiuM iu which inr. roiK noide the constitutional power of Congress, and the little f-cruple h has of assuming it all to hiinsidr; when he deems it necessary to carry out an executive measure.- We find, however, that he does not lack defeuders aud advocates, in this in oihr similar assumptions, among the genuine the exclu sive democracy. lhat party has expressed no lhtl U real or pieteoded. at Gen. Tavlor'a HMitrmiiiiiiinn to take the counsel of Congresss, the legitimate ex - r;""ul wt l" popio a win ; yet they can back up a r reside ut who exercisea hi own u;u fi. it is too late for Congress to refuse, without subject mg the country to irremediable evil, coolly calls upon them to nrovide the out Auacts.

FOOTS vs. BENTON. The Democracy at Washington are in a sad snarl. The recent attack of Senator Footi upon Mr. Bek- ton, relative to the manner in which the existence of the Protocol was made public, was nearly equal in severity to the memorable CA8e of " Niles upon Allen,"' " Webster upon Ingersoll," or " Han n eg a n upon Polk." Mr. Benton, it seems, has been guilty of the offence of divulging a matter which tion ; and he is accordinelv deaonnced moat a - - mently by its wordy organ on the floor of the Sen ate. Old Bullion seems to have regarded the assault with 6ilent contempt. At all events, ht said noth ing ; he might possibly, however, have been engaged in his favorite employment of " making faces." " Others may hail the rising aun. We bow to him whose course is roa" There is a degree of disinterested maffnanimitv involved in the principle of the above couplet, of men our Democratic friends generally have no con ception.

Cer tainly, after having incurred defeat in their behalf, our Democratic friends should not regard their can didates in the light of "V)ld clothes" cast off! It was bad enough, in all conscience, to vote a solemn censure upon thejr retiring President but this is equally -aa unkind a desertion.

The mind has more room in tt than most peop e two k, if you would but furnish tbe apartment s Musical Theory. It was a whim among the ancient Philosophers, that there exists a secret connection between the Music of a nation, the character of tbe people, and the nature of their Government. One is almost tempted to conclude the theory true, if we regard the common parlance of mankind an index, by the by, which is rarely consulted without advantage. Are not nations when not engaged in open hostilities, considered as living in harmony ? Are not all diplo matic, and most pecuniary affairs carried on by means of Notes f Are not the Representatives of tbe peo ple bound to act, according to the tenor of their in structions ? Do not belligerent powers, when tired of strife, approach each other vith Overtures f With a view to changing the tone of an Administration, are not the opposition exclaiming constantly that it has brought matters to a pretty pitch ? And ought it not to be a fatal objection to au Executive recom mendation, that it docs not suit the time 9 But if any one is still disposed to doubt the influ ence of Music upon Government, let him call to mind the extraordinary effects of" Ca Ira " and the Mar selloise Hymn, which unsettled tbe strongest heads, and (like Dryden's music) had almost untuned tbe spheres." In England, the powers of " God save the King," and, in our own country, of 1Hail Columbia' and " Yankee Doodle" are well known: and, in Ire land, u Patrick's day in the morning" is enough to breed rebellion any day. These matters being duly considered, a deep politician, or a curious philosopher, would find it difficult to determine whether after all, a nation is most indebted for its greatness to htx; heroes and Statesmen, or to her Musi cat prodigies.

The judges cf the Court of Queen's Bench have overruled the wrirs of error assigned in the cases of O'Brien and his fellow-prisoners. .The Court was unanimous, and nothing is now left but a hopeless appeal to the House of Lords.

The latest dates from Paris ctnle tW n.,Kt; ion has undergone great change. The state of the funds opened the eyes of influential men, who are now opposed to France interfering with the affairs of Italy. The opinion in Paris is that France ehnnl.-i from actual intervention for or against the Pope: mitt ii Kuuum inrow no oosiacies in tue way of 6uch powers as may offer men and money to the Pope. The government has put forth a decie denoun cing as enemies to their country all persons deterred from voting for Constituent Assembly by Pope's protest. Italy. The Pope demands the intervention of Austria to reseat him in temporal power at Rome. Both Sardinia and France strongly remonstrated against the determination, as the Roman people have lost all reverence for the Pone as an ecclesiastic nn less than as a prince.
