In continuing our investigations, with refrtne to thnt object, we have stumbled across the following article wmcn appeared m this paper, in its issue of Feb. 1st 1833, which expresses our present views so fully and precisely, that we are induced to re publish it. The Rrgistek is still found, where it was at that momen tous epoch,and where it always shall be found , battling for the integrity of the Constitution and the Union. From the Raleigh Register of Feb. 1, 1833. We are confident from the tone of General Jack aou'a communication to Congress, that he will endea vor as fkr m within him lies, to avoid a resort to force ; frnf pr? ?rji1aHj frnrtfidrnt Df determination to ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT AT OLD POINT. The President of the United States, with Mr. Stewart, Secretary of the -Interior, and lady, ar rived at Old Point last Sundqy morning, in the earner Oscoola, fiora Washington. The committee deputed by the city authorities of Norfolk, and the Trustees of the town of Ports mouth, visited Old Poin, and jointly, through their oran, John G. Hation, Esq., President of llie Select Council, tendered to the'President and those who accompanied him, the hospitalities of the two communities. Mr. Hatton addressed the President in the following neat and eloqueut manner : Mr. President: We wait on you as a depu tation tram the Court and Councils of the City of Norfolk and the Trustees of the Town of Ports mouth, in the name and behalf of the citizens of both places, to greet you on your arrival here, and to invite you and your suite to extend your visit to their respective towns. As pleasing as it may be at any time to be the organ of so respectable a body, it is doubly so to me at the present to be the medium of com municating with so respectable a personage as the President of the United Styles. As American ci izens, proud of our glorious Republic, we delight to honor her Chief Magis trate and we hail you, sir, with a deep sense of the respect due to your distinguished position. As Virginians, wc cordially welcome you within the borders of our Old Commonwealth God save her! and as citizens ot Norfolk and Ports mouth, we are desirous of giving you this evi dence of our esteem. And agreeable as the duty of our mission is to us, the discharge of it will be attended with a pleasuraole finale, if ve may be permitted to be the bearer of the intelligence to our people, that it is compatible with your arrange ments to accept the tender of their hospitalities, and, with the gentlemen comprising your retinue, become the guest of our respective communities. To which Mr. Fillmore returned his thanks in a feeling and becoming reply, stating that his visit among them was necessarily limited, and that it would afford him pleasure to visit Norfolk and Portsmouth to form an acquaintance with the people. maintain the supremacy of the laws and the integrity of the Union, whenever assailed. Perhaps no State is so delicately situated with regard to the contending parties, as N. Carolina, aud she may soon be ca'Ied upon to choose whom she will serve. If unhappily, the appeal is made, there is but little doubt, that she wi'l rally to the defence of our united Government and its laws, however painful may be the struggle between duty and affection, Neutrality is out ot the question. II wc refu e to sustain the Executive in his attempts to "preserve the Union," we at once en list ourselves cn the side of Nullification, and declare it to be "the rightful remedy." If Nullification -and Secession be suffered to obtain in a single State, the Union will be at an end that Union which has raised our country from feeble infancy to a giant's strength which has carried us through all the obstacles that jealousy and envy have cast in our path, to a point of greatness unexampled in the history of the world. JNo 5 Hjsouth Carolina, deat to the remonstrance ot reason, regardless of the counsels of patriotism, and the entreaty of frinds, should strike the parricidal blow, North Carolina, though endeared to her by all the sympathies of kindred andof friendship, must a bandon her to the consequences of her rash and pie cipitate measures. God grant however, that the trial may not await us! God grant that the convulsions of civil war may never leave a b'.ot upon the page that chronicles the future history of our nation ! A great battle for the Ukiqh is now going on both at the North and the South. In both quarters of the cduntry, the "Alexandria Gazette" well says, there is disaffection and ultraism. In both sections true patriots have taken the field to combat prejudice, error, and fanaticism. In both divisions of the country, the contest will have to be decided on the soil where the issue was joined, and ivhere the parties reside. At the-North, Disunionism rears its horrid front in the guise of opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law, and continued threatened aggressions upon the rights of the South. This form of quasi re bellion and treason, we hnve always contended, is more dangerous than any that has yet appeared in the country. It wants the boldness and manli ness of open resistance whi st in its consequen ces, it undermines not only thr government, but the fabric of society. A A I.. - C .1.

Collier, of Alabama, would rank himself on the side of the Union or that of its adversaries, in case of the se cession of South Carolina. It is now quite appa rent that the plan of the Disunionists of Alabama and Mississippi is to encourage South Carolina to secede, and then attempt to rally to her support the neoDle of their own States, who, thev well know, are unwilling for any present cause to aban don the Union. This tact has recently been dis closed, in a manner that admits of no misunder standing, by the malcontents of Alabama, 17" The Secessionists of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi seem to calculate upon rallying the mass of the Democratic party in those States to the policy of Kustainiug South Carolina if she shall secede. Bu that party must h:ve greatly changed opimons 3ince the halcyon days of " Old Hickory,'' if this scheme provs successful . Here are sotne illustrations of the general sentiment of the Jackson party of the South, in 1832, when South Carolina first talked of shooting msdly from her sphere. The Florence Gazette, the paper cited, is one of the oldest journals in Alabama. and is now upholding the cause of the Union, as it did in 1833: - No State has a right peaceably to withdraw from rtw Union and to declare itself independent of it, and every attempt to -do so by force would be a virtual fraction of the Constitution of the United States, jus- tiffing and requiring the use f constitutional measure to support it--Florence Gazette, January, 1 833. "South Carolina claim the right to nullify aft act of Congress and to secede from the Union, both of hich we believe to be unconstitutional; and, if carried into practice, will inevitably result in the overthrow f our political institutions, and blast the fairest pros pects which have ever been maintained in the science of Government. The doctrines of Nullification and Secession are gross political heresie, and deserve he reprobation of the good citizens of these States. Extracts from the proceedings of a large Democratic meeting held in Florence on the 22nd of Feb. 1 833. SST' The Editor of the "Richmond Whig" seems to be fully redeeming his promise of "amu sing .the Public." made in the late spicy correspon dence with the Editor of the "Examiner," and that, too, very sadly at; -the expense of the latter. There are, indeed, few racier paragraphjsts than Mr. Johnston. The following, from the last num ber of the" Whig," will give some idea of the man ner in which he is "doiifg up" the Examiner:- Dog Wasted. A Kentucky editor advertises as follows: ! " Wanted, at this office.a bull-dog. of any color ex cept pumpkin and milk of respectable sire, snub-nose cropped ear., abbreviated continual on and Dtua -dis position, who can come when called with a raw beef- stake, and will bite the man who spits tobacco juice on the stove and steals our exchanges. We hear that there is just such a creature to be disposed of, about the Examiner office: not a dog yet ; but he will be one, by and by, wnen lie snail mrowalitile less ot a whelp. Ihoogu slightly currish and somewhat a mongrel of the secession strain, he is of the true cynic sort and an inces sant snarler. As for color, hie niger esl; hvnc w, Romartt, cazelo ! He is a very dark pumpkin. No milk in him or all sour and very thin. As to 'size," his is quite as 'respectable" as anything else about him. .His nose just answers the de scription, and is a snub that snubs all creation. fears are not "cropped" yet ; but have deserved to be, this many a day. The length of his tail can't be told just now, from his having to carry it between his legs of late. In "badness of disposi tion," he is all that heart could wish. As for 'com ing if you call him with a beefsteak," he is just complaisant enoup-h to be a Cerberus of sops. In regard to '-biting," he will bite anybody that has fed either him or his brother. He bit his uncle, not long ago, and worried him most wojfishly. As to bitinsr a man for stealing, e d bite for any thing as soon for net stealing as for stealing: particularly as he filches whole editorials-from the London Times himself. If Bennett has not al ready bought him to do a part of his barking at l well behaved people, you can get him cheap, and feed him on scraps ot bad r rencli and worse Italian. loud mouthed declamation at many imaginary evils. It is bold fronted, and determined in its purposes. Against this spirit of Disunionism, thus two faced, and thus dangerous; against these factious of different aspects but of one soul, the great party of the people, in favor of the Usios of the Slates and the Rigiits of the States, has risen up, and stands as a bulwark of protection and defence. There is, however, as we hayjfaid," part icuforty, -Union parties at the North, and: Union parties at the Soitlh. Each of these parties has. in its own section, a great duty to perform, and great res ponsibilities to assume and their leaders ought to be sustained and upheld, no matter to winch of the political parties they may have belonged, or do now belong. This question is, shall this great, happy, glo rious Union be preserved, or shall the machinations of Abolitionists at the North, and Secessionists at the South, prevail ? Upon this question, surely, mere temporary political party differences may be j allowed to sink and disappear. When the Union shall have been saved, partizans may divine their movements, and renew their schemes. But first let us save the Union ! An Abolition Ohgax on Fillmore. The Buf falo Express, an Abolition paper, continues to abuse the President. In relation to the compro mise measures, it says : " No one can deny that these compromise mea sures are supported by the Administration nor that the Administration have made the support of these measures entire, without amendment or re peal, the test of fidelity to his party nor that the federal patronage is used with all its seductive force to Win Whigs to that platform nor that eood and true Whigs are removed from office, on the sole ground that they do not come up to the standard of the Administration, as set up. We believe Locofoco organs in this section are in the habit of calling the Buffalo Exprett an Ad. 1 ministration organ. They ought to be made to swallow the type from which thfe extract quoted was printed they can swallow anything. GENERAL.' SUMMARY. Messrs. Clark and Burnham lately succeeded in capturing a sea-cow near Jupiter Inlet, Florida. The animal was caught in a net, was a male, and nine feet three inches- in length. They succeeded in taking it aliye, and shipped it to Charleston for exhibition. It was very wild when first captured, but soon became quite tame, and ate freely of grass, &c. Its tail is inhe shape of a fan, and is two feet five inches broad. It has no hind feel ; its fore feet are similar to those of a turtle, and it has nails like those df the human hand, but no claws. Its month anl nose resemble those of a cow, it has teeih on the lower jaw, but notoneon iheupp?r. A 'emaleiwas also taken, but it was so large, and, becoming en'angled in the m t, made such desrate exertions )o escape, that the captors were compelled to shoot it, The y preserved the skin, however, which was fifteen feet long.

A POINTED REPLY, An old fashioned Jackson Democrat, in the Natchez Courier, thus responds to the taunts oi some of his former friends who charged him with having changed : , ' "i haVe beeu repeatedly taunted of late, by one or two of my old democratic friends, (as they say,) with having fallen irom tne good oio tann oi ine Democracy. Now, sir, I am a man of few words in Dolitics. being a working man. If I have changed, then our faithful friends throughout the whole country have changed.

Their attempt to. read roe out of the party, because I will not consent to add to its creed a doctrine which Andrew Jackson repudiated and crushed, is but ridiculous.

A wnter,in speaking of the benefits of pkmlt roads, observes that the farmer has what he never had before, a god road' every day in the year the same in all seasons and can select for his travel, days when he cannot work on the farm, taking in greater ease, in half the time, three times what he formerly could carry. His wocd lands acquire a value they never had before, from the ease with which his timber or wood can be taken to market. His farm increases in value from 10 to 15 per cent. The wear and tear of his horses, harness and vehicle is reduced at least one half, leaving a surplus in his pocket after payingtolls, which would otherwise have been spent on re pairs. His produce of whatever kind can be con veyed to market with one half the expense atten dant upon carrying it over the old road, from the increase in the quantity he isable to carry at a sin gle loaJ : and he can with the greater facility a vail himself of the advantages of churches and neigh borhood and friendly intercourse. Farmers take one and a half cords of greenwood : to market, where formerly a half aud three quar ters of a solid cord was considered a load: 80 bushels of rye and 100 bushels of oats when for merly they carried but 40 or 60 bushels.

Bankers in San Francis co lent to him their credit, and offered-to him a' pbici of business ; and. il he shall survive, he will be a living example of the energy and perse verance of his race. Another instance was that a gentleman, swho hd recently erected and moved into a splendid brick store in a different quarter of the city, from hia lodgings. When the fire broke out he was vert active in assisting those in danger, but after the Amies had raged for some time, he went t j see how his own store was likely to stand it. The fire was close upon his premises, and he saw at a glance that they could not be saved. With out stopping to see his large properly consumed he returned to his residence, and in a few lio ir- had completed the drait of another and more ample edi fice, to be erected on the site ol the old one. In two days lie had men at work clearing away the rubbish and preparing to put up the new building with all possible despatch.
