LOCOFOCO OPINIONS. But a year since, the -8o-ealled Democracy J tnrougnout the length anct-Dreautn ot tne land shouted, with one accord, th name of Franklin Pierce, and co-opt?rated together as one man, in support of his election to the Presidency of the United States, as the champion of the compro mise measures, and as the only candidate before th people irr whose hands the administration of the Government could be entrusted, without endangering the harmony of the States and tho safety of the Union. Their efforts in his behalf were successful. They succeeded in electing him to the Presidency by an overwhelming ma jority, lie was in due time installed into office, and has now given the country some practical evidences of his statesmanship, and what has he accomplished for his country? So Jar as the country is concerned, he has done nothing as yet even for his own friends to applaud. So far as respects himself, he has done enough to satisfy even a very large portion of his own party that he is wholly unqualified and totally unfit for the duties which devolve upon him. And so far as his party has been affected by his doings as Chief Magistrate, its present distracted condition' iu every State of the Union unfolds the tale more strongly than any statement we can make. That we are not alone in entertaining these opinions, is evident from the expressed views of prominent men in the loeofoco party, and of lead ing and, influential locofoco journals. We have hadsome time before us a letter published iu the New York journals, written by-the Hon. James Maurice, a locofoco member "Congress elect from that State, from which w extract the fol lowing expression of his sentiments in regard to Mr. Pierce and his administration : "It is not requisite I should dwell on any special circumstances connected with the forma tion of the present national' administration, for they are matters of history.widely known, and likely to be long remembered ; nor assume the prophet's privilege, and predict any consequen ces from them, these are coming of themselves, fast enough to render such an effort equally un necessary and presumptuous; nor say much on the policy, as it is called, of consolidating the Democratic party, by the bestowal of places of great influence, trust and profit upon unmis takeable specimens of every faction that has of late years threatened to disturb the peace of the country. These topics can be tieated more sat isfactorily at another time, and if need be I will then enlarge upon them. For the present it will be sufficient to observe, that if I had believ ed it possible that the nominee of the last B:ihi more Democratic Convention could lend himself to the furtherance of a faction, North or South, y Dane wouid not have been presented fur your suffrages. And if the great body of the American propte had Hut been deceived into his nuypurt, as I ic its, Gt H. I'icrce icoulJatill beprac lieing law at Concord, and iUustraiinj by turns the polilici and the jiiriiprudence of New Hamp shire. 1 have too high a respect for the office of Chief Magistrate of this republic, and I am too willing to yield to its possessor that respect the office itself deserves, to say more at this time on this subject." Nor is Mr. Maurice the only member of the locofoco party in the Empire State, who thinks and Ppeuks thus disparagingly of the Adminis tration. Mr. Cooley, a member of the New York Senate, and a prominent and active loco foco, and now the Hunker candidate for Comp troller of the State, expressed such sentiments as the fuiiuwiiig, (which w9 have previously quoted,) in a speech delivered by him in the Senate as early us May last : "It seems to be the policy of Mr. Pierce's ad ministration to lavish mi's; of the honors and emoluments of Government patronage upon po litical renegades and faithless profligates upon those who have been tlie most unscrupulous in their continued efforts to create daugerous dis cussions between tluj North and the South, and break up the Union j those who have prostitu ted themselves to almost every xliade of all po litical parties to the neglect of nearly all the unwavering national democrats." Again, in speaking of the national sentiments expressed in the President's Inaugural, Mr. Cooley continues : "With these just declarations still sounding in th n:ltln!lT4 't i ti r li m r ' uii iP rrt,i tiluo.u as himself, fend whose nrofessions nMl .u u t.i .cif.

For all of which per fidious conduct it seems they are to be liberally rewarded with the tattest places in the Presi dent's giftl Is this the 'ready and stern resis tance Gen. Pierce assures the country he will interpose' to prevent a revolt, to save the Union?

THE "FAYETTEVILLE JOURNAL." It will bo seen, by the subjoined Prospectus, that John W.-Camkron, Esq., the former Edi tor of the "Wadesboro' Argus," proposes to es tablish a paper in the town of Fayetteville, bearing the above name. Mr. Camehon is well-known tb the reading community as one of the ablest and most pungent writers of the day ; and tho "Journal," under his auspices, we venture to predict, will ba not only a valua able auxiliary taj the Whig tause, but a credit to the North Carolina Press1 every way. We wish our friend tha tuccess which he deserves. "The undersifid hroposes to publish in the town of Fayetteville, N. C., a weekly newspa per of the first class, to be entitled The Fay ittevillb Journal. Regarding tlm editorial office a3 one of sur passing responsibility, it will be the constant aim of the undersigned so to walk in his high vocation as to render the Jocrsal in il re spects worthy of a cherished place in the con fidence and esteem of its patron Its columns will ba devoted to all those matters and things usually found occupying the front ranks of journalism such as Politics, Agriculture, Com merce, Manufactures, the Arts and Sciences, Literature, General Information, &e., &c. The undesigned is not without experience' in the business in which ho proposes to embark, as well as some other branches of knowledge that may contribute to the value of his labors as a journalist ; and possessed of the facilities presented by Fayetteville for the making up uf a varied and valuable country paper, ho flatters himself that he will be able to meet, in his edi torial capacity, all such requirements as a gen erous public may make at his hands. As above given out, the columns of the Jour nal will be devoted in part only to the conside ration, of political matter. At some seasons this will" doubtless be a main part : at others, considerable more variety may ie expected. But, at all times, the best exertions of the edi tor will be used in aid of those who have at heart the improvement, moral and intellectual, of the rising generation, the prosperity and ad vancement of the good town of Favetteville, and the physical development of the rich and varied resources of the entire State. To those who know the editor, an exege.-U of his political views would be altogether super erogatory : to those who do not, it is but fair to say, his principles were formed in that school of which the sage of Ashland was recently the great head. Iu o her words, he is a Whig of the straightest sect ever holding to the con servative doctrines of tho immortal Washing ton and those who stood around and supported his administration. Thus much, in fairness, it is deemed proper to gay : but, aside from its Siolitics, it is believed, the paper will contain ood things enough to make its reading indis i:nsable to the comfort and accomplishments ot all sects, ages and sexes. In dine, it will be the object of the editor to m i,ke the Journal one of the most racy, reada- bl I and reliable papers of the ilav in all re ap, -ts worthy of the State, and of the Press of the State. Tvrms: If a sufficient number of subscribers h.i' J be obtained, the Journal will be issued in the '..lrly part of tho next'year, in a lare and beautiful form, at the low price of Two Dollars nadvanee; Two Dollars and iinr Cents if paid during the year ; and Three Dollars if not paid until after the expiration of the vear of subscription.

We were reading, recently, a historjr'of Con necticut, from its first, settlement under Geo. Fenwick, down to the Revolution. The volume was originally published in London, in 1781, and re-printed at New Haven in 1829; and we found some curiyus enactments therein. Here are some of the laws: "VVhoe.ver wears clothes trimmed with gold, silver, or, bone lu.ee above two shillings' by the yard, shall be presented by the grand jurors, and the selectmen shall tax the offender at 300 estate." j "A debtor, in prison, swearing he hath no estate, shall be let out, and sold to make satis faction " "No one shall read the book of Couunon Prayer, keep Christmas or Saints' days, make minced' pjjes, dance, play cards, or play on any itisti-umeyt of musiiffxcept the drum, trumpet, and Jewsfiarp." -V- "Tho Sibbuth day shall begin at sunset on Saturday.!' "No wnan shall kiss her child on the Sab bath or fas ing da-." "No one shall travel, conk victuals, make beds, sweep house, cut hair, or shave, on the Sabbath day. "No one shall run on the Sabbath day, or walk in his garden, or elsewhere, except rever ently to and from ineetiuj;," "No one, to cross a river, but with an author ized ferryman." "No food or lodging shall be afforded to a Quaker, Adamite or other heretic." "Every male shall have his hair cut round according to a cap." etc., &o. We find! the following account of a punish ment iiifiicted for entertaining heretics, on one Deacon Po'tter, whom Gotten Mather says was verily guilty, und that he had a fair, legal and candid trill, and was convicted on good and scriptural 'fcvideuce : "Deacon Potior," says Mather, "was hanged for heresy; and apostacy, which consisted in showing hospitality to strangers who came to his house hi the night, among whom were Qua kers, Anabaptists and Adamites." His wife betrayed lfiui for hiding the spies and sending them away in t eace. There was also a politi cal offcuce, the remedy for whicb is worth no ting : ' "-No mar) shall hold office who is not sound ! in the fait, and faithful to this dominion ; and whosoeverlgives a vote to such a person, shall pa-a fine bf one pound ; for a second offence he shall bej disfranchised." The Rev-i Geo. Whitfield, in one of his ser mons, gi'vefc the people of Connecticut the fol lowing character: "They are the wiseBt of any upon the continent, the best friends, and the worst enemies ; they are hair-brained big ots on all sfdes, and they may be compared to horse and mule without bit and bridle. In other colorSes 1 have paid for my food and lodging, bt never could spend one penny in fruitful Connecticut, whose banks llow with milk and honey, and w,hose sons and daugh ters never Jail to feed and refresh the weary traveller without money and without price. On Saturday evenings, the peopie look sour and sad, and on the Sabbath they appear to have lost tlieir dearest friends, and are almost speechlessjand walk softly. A Quaker preri-j er once told tliem, with much truth, that tLpv worshippef the Sabbath, and not the (j3 of the Sabbath. Those hospitable peoida without charity, condemned the Quaker as a blasphcracjj- of the holy Sabbath, fined, tarred and feathefed him, put a rope around his neck, and plunged him in the sea ; but ho escaped with his life, though he was above seventy years ol age. s 8$ Repr. Eleazer Williams, the reputed Heir to the lltuse o! bourbon, preached on Sunday last, at St. Paul's Church, Hoboken (Rev. Mr. jBruce.) His theme was the Judg ment, anuithc Judgment Day. Keason, Keve lation, and! the whole course of events in the natural world, be cont .-pded, all clearly poiut ed out thejjawi'ul catastrophe, which sootier or later mustSbvertAk:! all things earthly. When that day sgotiid come, no man nay, not even the anelsjin Heaven could tell ; but as all have the assurance that it will come as a thief in the nigfet, it should be the constant and un wearying Endeavor of the Christian so to live that he nisjrht listen, without fear and tremb ling, to the awful decree of the angel who, standing pon the sea and upon the earthy "should sVear bv him that liveth for ever andi ever, thtnjjtiine should be no more." On that day, as lxifore the Hood, the reerend speaker ro'uarked,?inen would be as deeply engrossed with the cres and enhancements of the world, as they are now ; the same nassions would be nt pbiy ; tjhesame earthly ambitions struggling for the mastery ; there would be feasting, and dancing, rind merry making, and as little thought of; the Day of Retribution as there is among th. masses of mankind in these, our own days.y To these, to the grovelling unre pentant snner, it would indeed bo a day of wrath, but to the chosen people of God, they whose sin had been washed away by the blood of the Laib, and looked for salvation in the PECT. sacritice of a crucified Saviour, the scene, all j k3 and si terrible & it must be, would be disrobed of its terrors, aijd so far from calling upon rocks and mountain to hide them, their voices would be mingled, vpith those of angels and archangels singing tltas praises of their most merciful Crea tor and ledeeiner. In view of these solemn truths, truths which every Christian man must acknowledge as such, the preacher in voked his Shearers to begin to live for Eternity now ? "now was the accepted time ; to-morrow we may 6e. Mr. Williams, be he Bourbon 1 or not, Bas certainly a very i-ommanding, king-like person, ifwc- may so express it.

The fever, the association say, is dying out, but only for the lack of material to feed upon. As an evidence that it has not lost one iota of its terrible malignity, the Association point to the fact that it is desolating quite as relentlessly as ever the towns and villages of the surrouuding country, where the population is fresh and plenty.
