NORTH CAROLINA BLOCK FOR THE MONUMENT. We learn from the "National Intelligencer," that the block from the S'tate.of North Carolina for the National Monument was presented on the 22d instant, to 'the Board of Managers of the Mouumedt Society, by the Hon. A. W. Venable, 0 the part of the State, who delivered a highly expropriate address, in the presence of a numer uut and distinguished company, assembled at "Monument Place" to witness the ceremony. This AJdrrss shall appear in our next. The block was very happily received on the part of ise Managers by J. V. Maury, Esq., Mayor ind ex-officio second Vice President of the As ociation. 'This beautiful block," says the 'Intelligen- er, "is ot handsome marnie. a prcaucuon 01 the good old State which it represents, is four feet long and two feet high, with the arms of North Carolina handsomely sculptured in has relief, and the nime of the State in conspicuous letters beneath it.". ADAMS & CO S. EXPRESS. . We learn from the " Baltimore American," that Messrs. Adams it Co.. have recently exten did their Express arrangements to Wilmington, X. ('., and to all intermediate points. Messen gers now pass daily between Baltimore a';d 'IViliiiington, and all goods entrusted to the hue jO.forward at mail speed. The ''American" calculates largely and justly on the benefits that will accrue to Baltimore, whenkhat City shall be placed in direct coniniu- .uication with Raleigh anJKhe Central and Wes tern portions of this State, by th completion of the railroad connection between Weldon and Gaston ; and states, that when that is effected, Adams fc Co. will extend their lin to Raleigh tnd all intermediate points.

Fayettetille Observer. fiii: HUEiOH PKACT1CE rs. FROFESSION THE FU ' TURK JUDGED BY THE PAST. The papers inform ua chat Gen. Pierce, the President Elect, has reached Washington. The diurnal register of arrivals, as published ib the journals of that City, a so apprize us of the swarms of offiee-eekrt that are filling its Ho teU, crowding its avenues, and, lika the locusts of Egypt, infesting its thoroughfares." A reign of cupidity, intolerance, peculation and corrup tion is foreshadowed by every symptom of the times. Political parties aro much better understood by the practical operation of their principles, than by the professions and protestations ofan electioneering contest, and it is by that stan dard we desire that the new Administration shall he tried and judged. Locvfocoism has al ways been remarkable for its assumption of popular designations, and for its appeals to the passions and the prejudices, by specious protui- axi j gfe i tion of the community, who are influenced more by titles than things. Democracy and locofoco ism, to the discriminating observer, who knows any thing of the meaning of the former word, as applied to a political party in this country, have no affinity whatever. The democratic party in stituted by Thama3 Jefferson, -during the ad ministration of John Adams, had for its cardin al principle, the reduction of executive power. Locofocoi8m, on the contrarj-, has always advo- cateithe preservation and extension of the pre- ! rogatives of the executive. During the adruin- i istration of General Jackson, the veto, for in stance, for the first time in the historv of the , . 1 , , . covernment. was emnlovua. nob as a weanon to . , j . I defend the constitution, but as an instrument to enftjrec the personal views of the Executive. The views of the President were then paramount to tha action of the legislative branch of the government, and tke latter was taught to regard itself as a subsidiary instrument to carry out the intentions of the President. In a word, the fifip man ruu-fr (rrw Mimramp nml flip will nf , 1 ) , '. , , the President became as omnipotent as the word of the Ruseian Czar. In imitation of Gen. Jack son, the Governors of the States, of the same po litical party, from'time to time, "have set up their individual wills as the standard of law and legis lation, and reduced the legislatures to mere re gistries for the recording of their edicts. In this practical and alarming assumption of exec utive power, loccfoeoisin is at utter variance with the vigilance manifested by Mr. Jefferson of the powers lodged in the President by the constitution. And yet this usurpation of au thority wo may be destined to witness and re alize to a still more fearful extent than ever, within jthe next four years. , It would be difficult, indeed, to find any single instance in which the locofoco -democracy a grcss with the democracy of Jefferson and Mad ison. No party ever evinced such a radical dif ference between its professions and practice. At the polls, when votes are to be gained, no party is more strenuous in its denunciations of ! word, Democracy, (a name which we novar j ed "Just as you please, you are beneath my no-1 people with fish. His last words wire tL&rac accord to it,) it has been enabled to hold spell- ! tiea" Mr- Briggs thereupon with his left hand j tnristic "I skay.

" John C. Calhoun, after ail, igavc the best idea of the-locofoco party, when he described it (in language familiar to most of our' readers,) "as held together only by the cohesive power of pub lic plunder." It would puzzle any ne to in dicate any other fixed principle for its course of action than this very .attractive one, or to ac count for tho recent union within its ranks of so many of the basest demagogues and most dishon est and profligate politicians. The passion for public plunder, for the "spoils" of office, gave to its movements an energy, zeal and union of action, that enabled it to triumph over tho less disciplined forces of the friends of law and or der, whose-chief object of exertion was the se curing of good government. And yet, at the game time that this grasping passion effected this union for the sake of triumph, it only tends, it seems, after yictory is won, to set these con spirators against the public treasury by the ears, and to divide them into wrangling feuds and contending divisions, all alike eager, without regard to the common cause, for their individ ual share of the booty, apd only to be re-united, when the bugle shall sound another quadrennial charge upon the coffers of the Government. There never was such a spestacle presented in the history of civilized nations as that just now displayed by the locofoco party. Tho fight of the "Kilkennws" was an amiable and most love ly exhibition of harmony contrasted with tho bitter hate and undisguised acerbity that now prevail among rapacious hordes of the "unterri fied," backed hy their respective endorsers and retainers. In the language! of one of the comic melodies of the day, tbe pjolicj of the Whig party is to "Wait a littl while. And don't make a. noise ;" and we shall, all, see sight 1 It will then be more surprising than ever, should so many respectable citisens still b found acting with the locofoco party. It is, and always will be, natural enough, that office-seekers and spoils-hunters should find a consolation for all the evils of locofocoisra in the bounties be stowed upon them for services in the war waged upon the eredit and trade af the nation, but that sober, well-disposed citisens should be deluded The President's reception on Friday evening to self-immolation on the Moloch altars' of leco- last was one of the most numerous and brilliant focoism by their hypocritical cant, is, and ever ever known here.

Mr. Briggs struck him on the left side of the head with his hand, and repeated the blow once j or twice. 1 The bystanders interposed before serious in- j jury was effected. It is said that Mr. Hubbard intends to institute legal proceedings against tsnirirs. We know of no exactly; parallell incident with the above save that which is chronicled in thellis- tory of the pcrejrrinations of the immortal Pick J f wick.. The "circumstances which gavo rise to the scene in question, which we present below, were briefly these: Mr. Pickwick was threa tened with a most unjustifiable action for breach 0 marriage promise, at the instance of one Mrs. Bardell, widow, who estimated the damage done to her too susceptible heart at 1300. Proceed- ing to the office of Messrs. D hon d- Fogy, who 1 prosecuted for the Plaintiff, for the purpo , . . " . " , se of ! obtaining some explanation of the mystery, he was coolly assured by those legal worthies that it was their veritable intention to proceed with the action. The usually calm and philosophi cal Pickwick rosu to retirewhen the scene came off: "Very well, gentlemen, very well," said Mr. Pickwick, rising in perwon and wrath at the same time ; "you shall hear from my solicitor, gentlemen." "We shall be vc-y happy to do so," said Fogg, rubbing his hands. "Very," said-Dodson, opening the door. "And before I go, gentlemen," said the exci ted Mr. Pickwick, turning round on the landing, "permit me to say, that of all the disgraceful ' and rascally proceedings " "Stay, Sir, stay," interposed Dodson with gveat politeness. "Mr.. Jackson Mr. Wicks." I "Sir," said the two clerks, appearing at the J bottom of the stairs. 1 "I just want you to hear what this gentleman says, replied Godson. l'ray, go un.Tiir disgraceful and rascally proceedings, I think vou said."

As Fogg put himself very temptingly within the reach of Mr. Pickwick's clenched tist, there is little doubt that that gentleman would have complied with his earnest entVeaty, but for the interposition of Sain, who, hearing the dispute, emerged from tho office, mounted the stairs, and seized his master by the arm. "You just come away," said Mr. We Her. "Battledore and shuttlecock's a werry good game, when you an't the shuttle-cock and two lawyers the battledores, in which e;isa it gsts too excitin' to be pleasant. Come away. Sir. If you want to ease your mind by blowing up somebody, come out into the court and blow-up me ; but it's rayther too expensive work to be carrie'd on here." And without tha slightest ceremony, Mr. Weller hauled his mas;er down tbe stairs, nnd down the court, andliaiing safely deposited him in Cornhill, fell behind, prepared to follow whithersoever he should lead."
