CLIXGMAN, AGAIN. v On reading the .lait Proclamation of this erra- tcftnd unquiet gentleman, the only conclusion we came to vras, JtUat H requirea no eiaooraw iinswer ; it answers itself. As an account cur rent of his own stinss Wars past, together with his various experierrces, alculatiuns, feonoctures, suspicions, solitary musing ambitious aspirations and disastrous defeats, it is a perfect gem of a manifesto, and should, by all means, b well conned ana ponaer d by all auiphibioua gentry, who can boast obe. ingneithr "flesh, fish, nof yet good red herring." Alfsuch, being, of course, peculiar friends of this peculiar statesman, have a peculiar right to lis 2C lucubrations ; they should carry them in their breeches pocket, and sleep wifh-theui mider their pillows. But all other people should, mercy be spared the infliction oE sucb an in tolerable mass of egotism, arrogance, and mk Mtriatism. The' hypocrisy of the concern,is so ". . ' 1 t 1 . L 1. 1 1 transparent that tiifi pnnuest uoy at me asyiuiu caa both see through and understand it. Tlie Wliks wuuld not make- Mr. Clingman Souator f3 . . ' :.t .;. j,.-.a nor tli I'emueniis emmr, iuil ww mi- rywur Honce all tins salt wat jr ! ins worm i'.n.i.l in rlif' estimation of this mire and in stark in patriotic statesman it was made for the Hon- orable Thomas L. , Clingman, generally, and, more especially, was it created, for the express rpose of having liim for a senator; it would not have bei?;i made at all, but for tha't grand ob ject. Ana now is tne great aim oi qreauuu in be thwarjed by ' Uentral Influence r is it to be ndured by the Honorable Thomas L. Cling ma, that this Modern Colossus has for many long years been forced to draw himself !up and crawl beneath the les of such pigmies as Bad ger, and Manguu, and. Graham, ei id vmne gains ! What, indeed, is this world coming to ? Mr. Clingman seems to beso sorry, that the last Legislature could not make a Senator ; and m indignant withal. Why, it is rumored that frhen he had ascertained that he could not be lected, his last advice to Eastern gentleman, (fjr whom hojuttlien had a wonderful 'affec tion,) was to fire cad an election of Senator this Sessim, if they could and next Session, when Mr. Badger's term vill expire, the'East and the Weiit would have k all their own way? 'If this be so, is it possible that Mr. C. is so over-tasked and hallucinated with patriotic emotions, that he can neither'reasoh nor remember- but only L"eeZ Ob ! Patriotism, what deeds are perpetra ted in thy name ! . " , But the 'Central Influence" is the bu-a-boo which still ils Mr. Clingman with horrors The timo was when he was hospitably enter tained at . this. abhorred "Centre." , They were the good old days of yore, when a gentleman could gratify his oWn tastes by spreading his board for his frieiids, without beinr. afraid of being called to answer for his broad and free hospitality, under the name of an attempt to in fluence,. to control yea, as Mr. Clingman, him self, has insinuated, " to corrupt." For he has, virtually, accused those of the doomed "Centre" oF attempting to reach the hearts of those, whom they, wished to use, by getting down their threats. : The simple rites ..of hos-i pitality were construed into an engine of cor ruption. The charge was caught up by others, vho have an olyed to jiin by u ; and some, we fear, have been simple enough to believe it. And we further foar it has had its reaction. The "Centre," so far as we know, or' believe, has attempted to exert no influence, save that which may be properly claimed fur talents and worth. If we have been blessed, in. this regard bj heaven, surely we are not to be cursed by man our friends, too ! Speaking'of friends, we have no allusion to Mr. Clingman. He is none of our's, "politically. He ia.no Whig. He may whine, to his heart's content, about fancied wrongs to his "Whig District ;" but what cares ho for the Whig of that, or any other district, except so far as he can use them ? Ho does not belong to the Whig Party. He j 0f the Clingman Party and of no other ! ' But we forbear. ,We have written more than we intended, and much more than the subject deserves. i DISPUTE BETWEEN STATES. A dispute has arisen between the State of South Carolina and Georgia in regard to their respective boundaries. .Georgia claims tLe ex cluaire jurisdiction &f the Savannah river, which South Carolina denies. ' - . fey Gen. Cass, is not increasing his fame, by late movement . A Washington letter wri ter avs, "Gen. Cass lament over the want of patriotism in this country, and say that if the jynfKsror of China will claim California, some of our nenriln will fnVa ti.,. , - -t ..... 1(11,, J. lkT3 lt,A ttyu of the people and of the press which General Cass denounces as eo unpatriotic, is that por tion wHich disagrees with him upon the mean-, ing of he Monroe doctrine, and the necessity of going f; war with England, annually, as of ten at l,.ast as Congress meets. There is no patriotism in the Senate, for the general doe aot get'inuch support in that body. Mr. nale Md yesterday, however, in claiming indulgence fr thi; (Jen oral's course, that it is the result of a.yofjthful temperament, and that time and' experience will cool him down." A BEAUTIFUL INSCRIPTION.- In Trinity churchyard, New York, we remem ber having seen an inscription oh a tomb, sin gularly and affectingly beautiful. 1 It! is an ob long pile of masonry, surmounted by a slab stone, on which ar deeply cut the words : , followinir MT MOTHER. ( The U-umpet sJtall sound and the dead shall rise. There are no other letters or characters to be found on the slab or the "pile.-" If there is one inscription in the thousand languages that are, or have been, of earth, fitted to retain its sub lime meaning through every period of time up to the resurrection morning,.it is fhis. The writer seemed aware that names woujld be for gotten, and titles fade from tho memory of the world. He, therefore, engraved the; name by which he first knew her who gave him birth, on the stone and the dearest of all names, that of mother, shall sound a thrill through he heart of every one who may ever lean over this mon umental pile. If any shall wish to know furth er of her, who bad a child to engrave: her most enduring name upon a rock, he is sublimely re ferred to the sounding of the trumpet and the rising of the dead, when he may know all. JtSs A discussion has been commenced be tween Gen. Beale, of Virginia, and llev. Dr. Hawks, of New York, touching the points of claim to the Declaration of Independence. W ithout questioning the patriotism of Virginia, which was illustrated through the whole revo lution by her warriors and orators we must still claim for our own State the incipient move menu which brought us into collision with the mother Country. The battle of Alamance Creek. described by a pretended historian, as an out- , f ". ... , of rebellious feeling, was nothing less than on out-pouring of patriotic spirit, which was fully developed iu 1775, at the Court House of Mecklenburg. Whether North Carolina was the first of the Confederacy to feel aggrieved at the tyranny of England is one question. That ahe was tho first to resent such oppression is certain, and the Mecklenburg declaration bears upon its face the strongest resolution, and the most determined love of liberty We do not deny to Mr. Jefferson the paternity of his kn mortal declaraujn. But we will nsit agree to see our own citizens, imbued with the sam spirit of freedom, denounced as plagiarists. We hope'the discussion .will go on, for history will be benefitted by it. ; FIRE IN PETERSBURG. W regret to record the total destruction by fire, on Thursday morning, at 2 o'clock, of the extensive Tobacco Factory of J. S. &,D. Wil liams. Loss not known. JGST; The clerk of the weather, after a very feble attempt at a snow storm on Tuesday, has suddenly changed hi mind, and put on his most smiling face, and now deals out a temper ature suited to the season. Y'esterday morning the mercury stood at 15, being the lowest point it has reached here this winter. We hope our ie gatherers will not be disappointed again. Ice, instead of a luxury, has become a necessi ty. In old times, doctors used tp combine with their calomel savory drafts of toast tea, given hot, our modern physicians, more humane, give Us ice, and we all blss them for it. Letthe crop pers make the mostof their chance and save enough to cool our palates, and queuch the fever of sumnier. "We confess we should be gratified if Gen. I Pierce should find it compatible with his view and arrangements to select one of his Cabinet officers from this Stat ; but w shall not com plain, whatever he may do or onito do in con nexion with this matter."

In the Senate yecterday a bill to repeal cer tain acts concerning tonnage duties on Spanish vessels! was debated by Mr. Mallory. and the remainder of the day occupied in Executive session. In the House of Representatives, among oth er business, several private bill were passed ; and also one regulating the reports of the Pat ent Office, and providing for additional officer therein. Republic, luesUM X Yesterday the Senate resumed the considera tion of the subjects included in the Resolution lately offered by Mr. Cass, relating to European colonization on this Continent, and to the Island of Cuba. Mr. Soule gave his view at considera ble length, and was followed by Mr Cass. Quite a concourse of citizens were present in the gal leries, 'a large majority of whom were, as usual, of the fairer sex. The latter will begin to long for the completion of the rising extension of the Capitol, if only to avail themselves of the great er space which in the new galleries will be de voted to their accommodation. The inconven ience resulting from former irruptions of ladies, however desirable elsewhere, compelled Sen ators, doubtless with reluctance, to object to a proposition submitted yesterday to aamit.tnem upon th floor of the Senate Chamber, j ' ? Int. Wednesday. The Tide Turned. We are informed that the population of the county ha increased about 1000 since the firist of the present month about 300 white and 700 slaves having come here from other parts of the State to engage in the turpentine business. Thi will give a con sidcrable impetus to business of all kinds. . Grain, provisions, and other necessarieJ of.life, will be in demand, whilst the exports of tho county will be increased by some hundreds of thousands of dollars. The discovery of the value of our pine, aid- ded by our plank roads, has worked a wonder ful change within the last few year. Formerly many moved off to the South and West, and none came from abroad. Now, many come and none go. Fay. Obs. A General Banking Law has remained on the statute-book of Massachusetts some two' years, and not a single company, pot a sin pie man. has taken advantage of it.

MILLER. , 1 Raleigh, Jan. 26, 1853. . The date of Col. Tripp's letter, published be low, vvilljshew the reason why my rejoinder to Mr. RaynerV "Qvrd" has been delayed. I shall notipermit the arrogant assumption of su periority which characterises this production and which befits its author about as well as would the Senatorial robes to which he aspires, to deter me from exposing its quibbles and eva sion. This controversy was of his own seeking. He couldi have avoided it, so far as I was con cerned, by the exercise of a modicum of candor and fairness on his part, but having courted a scfutiuy Jnto his political course during the re cant campaign, and whilst the election of Sena tor was pending, he must be content to abide tie consequences. . -1 i II denies but one of the charges which I pre ferred, and that denial he attempts to prop by ft quibblei which has- notven the virtue of in genuity tp sustain it. I charged that "ho de clared to bt least ono person (after the election) that he did not take a stand for" the Whig nom inations, because he feared, as the two parties were tied in the Legislature, such a course would injure his chance to get to Ute Senate of the United States." i To this he replies; "This statement I pro nounce to be false. The charge bears the stamp of falsehood and absurdity on the very face of it. It states, that it was "after the election," I gave this reason why I did not "take a stand for the Whig nominations." Why, I had thei taken the most unequivocal stand I could take. 1 had voted for the Whig nominations at the polls, and that was a matter of public notoriety. Again it is said that I stated that "because" I found as the two parties were tied in the Legislature," &c. Why at the time of the Presidential elec; tion, Shaw had been in his seat for a month, and there was a certain well known Democratic majority of two in the Legislature." Such is the defence an aspirant to the ex alted station of Senator of the United States, against a grave and seriuus charge like the one Prefcrr5d !. 1Ie does 1TOt mwi t with a plea of fWf iMty,;but except to the lonnol the mdict- ment. Assuming, that m using the words "af ter the election," I meant, the Presidential elec tion, he flits off into a process of the most astute argumentation' which- would have done honor to the schoolmen iu their palmiest days ! But it is too plain, except to one seeking for a mode of evasion,; that I meant after the State election I for it was well know-u, that until Dr.' Shaw 1 was, voted liis seat, it was contended by the Whigs that the two parties were "tied." But what docs it avail him whether it wa3 after one election or the other that he made the declaration, or whether he used the word "tied" or "constituted ?" These are not the essence of the charge. For all the purposes of truth it is f no consequence after which election, or in what language it was he exposed the reasons, objects, and motives of his lukewarmness and unfaithful conduct to the Whig causo during the campaign. Even "after" the Presidential election, that ha had taken an "unerjuie--e-;l stand" for the Whig nominations, admits of se rious doubts! I' do not deny that he eoled the ticket but it is not less true that he told a lead-' ing Democrat, residing in this place, a faw day before he gave that vote, that he would not walk forty yards to di so. It is no less true that he refused to take part far that ticket "before" the election, though often requested by friends. It is no less true, that he saw he was published in leading Democratic papers, one here immediate ly under hi8 nose, as hostile to that ticket, or neutral in his propensities. It is no less true that he gavtj the Hon. Wm. R. Kingto under stand, about four weeks' before the. Presidential election, that he 'would not rule even for the Whig ticket, and that he told him, and other gentlemen in his (Mr. King's) presence, that so dissatisfied were the Whigs, that Pierce would carry the State by ten thousand majority : nor is it lss true, that this statement, published in the V llimngton Journal, (a Democratic paper,) and attributed to him, teas pointed out In him in my irt.n-tice' and he was told, if untrue, it was his duty to contradict it, and he remarried si lent. ; Now, what was thts object, motive, design of all this? When did the change come ovr the spirit of his;droam, which induced him to vote with such exquisite "pleasure" for Scott ? Was ever such sudden conversion known before in the history iof politics? Whence sprang the "new lights' which iuduced him to rush with all the velocity which steam could carry him, to the ballot box Did he ri;fe upwards of an hun dred and fifty miles to vote with "pleasure" for a man he wpuld not wtl'c forty yards to yoto for? What was the moving cause of such conduct? Was there no "darling object" in view? There were many Scott men in the LeyitLttnre! It might have all been left to conjecture a puzde to the future historian, had it not been for that "au thoritative": manifesto, which bottled, up the wrath of its author against all those "who had dared oppose his elevation, or doubt his infalli bility ! The facts statedin the letter of Col. Tripp, of Beaufort, unlock the whole secret solve the mystery, lie says, "I had a casual conversation with hiin'on.the subject, in which the conclusion was irresistibly forced upon mi mind, -that his friend siatetb truly his reasons for his indiffer ence, namely, mat to talce strong noia Jor colt would injure his chance to get to the,. Senate." He had friends then, who advised him to the course he took, because " as the Legislature was constituted (not lied,) to take strong hold for Scott would injure bis chance to get to the Se nate." Did he scorn such advice as he should have done?; Did he, even in respect for those who gave the advice, decline it? Or, did he act upon it ? Let his conduct during the campaign answer. If he actd upon such' advice aud f)layed bis part, under such motives, I is it un ikely that he let slip the secret? The letter of Col. Tripp answers this question.and upon his tes timony (as respectable a gentleman as any in the State,) I rest, for the present, this charge which I have made! against Mr. Rayner! That such means should have been used by any man to se cure a seat in the most exalted deliberative as sembly in tho world an assembly which has been honored by such 'men as Calhoun, Clay, W right and Webster 1 Heaven grant that such facts may never become " a part of the archive of the State-." ; But again : He says," I do not recognise the riaht of any ono to arraign me at the bar of public opinion upon charges founded on the gossip 01 tne streets tne taitnn? oi uiie-Der- ers, or the gabbling of newspapers. ;!I put in a plea to Jhe jurisdiction. : It would really be a! matter of curious legal information, were this plea drawn out at length.

Is not his conduct during the late campaign also ' a part of thfe history of the times 2" He says th former " is an honor of which he is proud." Is he proud of the latter also? . He says his nom ination and the vote IiSj received arc rewrUcd " on the archives of fhe State, and cantftrt bo obliterated." Do not the same archives which proclaim his nomination, also proclaim his sud den and hasty retreat? Would he be proud to ; have the reasons for that retreat placed in those ! archives never to be "obliterated?" Let him speak out. The future historian may need the developments lie can make. His attempt to place me in the position of " lecturing the Whigs who voted fir him," may pass for what it is worth.. If he can make any thing out of it, sinfee the facts connected with liis conduct duringthc late campaign have been . made known, ho is welcome to it. He would no doubt be willing to drag the whole Whig party of the State between himself and a just indignation. I have lectured no one but have endeavored to do my duty fearlessly, and to de fend myself against an unjust assault. If the Whigs in the Legislature or out of the Legisla ture approve the conduct of the author of this " Card," to that extent, at least, I cannot land will not go with them. If they are disposed to adopt the principles ypon w hich he acted as a parjt of the code of Whig ethics, then, as a par ty, thoy will meet defeat, and defeat they will deserve. I said that I believed that the election of the author of this " Card" to the United States Senate would bring disaster and disgrace on the Whig party of the State. I am now more thoroughly convinced of it than ever. His failure to reach that high station, by the arts he adopted, has left enough of vitality in the Party, to enable it to survive the defeat which ho aided so greatly to bring upon it, if it wilt learn a lesson from the experienee of its brethren in other suctions of the Union, and required eiery man to do his duty, and not give aid and comfort to the enemy, eecally if he expects to attain to iie honors if the Whig House hold ! I ask attention to the letterof Col. Tripp. I have now done with this controversy, unless the author of the "Card" requires more "proofs." If he docs, he shall have them. II. W. MILLER. Washington, N. C. Jan. 22, 1S53. Dear SfR: I have just received jour vi the 15th inst.,; asking mo to give you the substance of a declaration made to me by Hon. K.

S. Senate.; Mr. Rayner was in Ralegh himself, actively electioneering for the nomination ; and it was whlst his friends were urging these rea sons 3or his not having taken the field for Scott, that 1 had a casual conversation with him on the subject, in which the conclusion was irre sistibly forced upon my mind, that bis friends stated truly his reasons for his indifference, namely, that to take strong hold for Scott would injure his chance to get to the Senate. Accor dingly I communicated to several persons on different occasions, this conclusion, and in lan guage similar to that used by you in your coin- j munication to the Raleigh Register. It may not be improper -'that I should here state; that Mr. Rayner was the choice for Sena tor of but,faw of the msmbers of the Legisla ture. He got the nomination in caucus because there were one or two Whigs who ! would not support any one who had been active for Scott, and because it was urged by his friends that he could get the votes of two or three Democrats. To a good many of the members, voting for him was the ".bitterest pill," as they stated, which they everhadto take. I was in the caucu which nominated him, and as it was there a erreed that we would support the man who . t f .... . - t ri .

The Jai'an Expedition. The Boston Post publishes the following extract from a letter re ceived from a gentleman who has just returned to this country from a trip to China, relative to the feelings of the Japanese toward th expedi tion expected from the United States: "I was informed by a gentleman, a native of Japan, tha.tthe Emperor is ready for the Amer- ican expedition, lie exhibited a letter to me, which: ho had just received from one of his countrymen, then on the island of JeJdo. The people kept a strict lookout all over the coast; and their fires were already burning on the mountains at right, in order to be prepared in case the squadnon should appear at night. One million of soldiers are ready and at hand. The coast is all set with guns, while in the bay of Jeddo, where the fleet is expected, there are countless war jiunks, and the whole bay is sur rounded with innumerable forts. The expe dition will find the Japanese much better sol diers than they anticipate. r The presents had better have been left at home. A trade will not soon be opened with that coun try, except by force." An anecdote is told of a Scotch shopkeeper whotdeclined some request made by a customer. "Do you know,," said the customer, "that I am the Bishop's lady?"' "Hoot, woman," was the answer, "I would not do it if ye was his wife; much liess his biddy." Lady is a beautiful word in its place, but either of them employed for wife orj woman is in shocking taste. Prov. Jov. t Maury's Wixd and Current Charts.
