Mr. Buchanan's opinion of foreigners aad their influence in 1815 : m Immediately before the war this foreign influence .bad completely embodied itself with the majority, particularly in the West, sad its voioe waa beard ao load at the seat of Government that President Madison was obliged either to yield to Ita dictates or re tire from omoe. ' The choice was easily made ly nun who preferred His PaiTATR I.1TIR rsTS to the public good, and therefore hur ried os into a war utterly unprepared.' " We ought to use every honest exertion to turn out of pvr those wkac and wick U men whose vild and virionary theories have been tested and found wanting. Above ail, wz ought to drive from our thoret for eign influence and cherish American Feel- ingi Foreign influence has been in every age the curse of Republics its jaundiced eye sees every thing in false colore the thick atmosphere of prejudice by which it is ever surrounded excluding from its sight the light of reason. Let ns then learn wisdom from experience, and forever banish this fiend from our society. Speech delivered by Mr. fiuchanan on the 4th of July 1815, at Lancaster. Pa. " Aftef becomioff eitisens they are enti tled under the Constitution and Laws to be placed on a perfect equality with native-born eitisens."- Buchanan's Inaugural.

Observ ing from the correspondence that Mr. Pool did decline becoming a candidate, and sup poing that )e was the present incumbent, we noticed the fact as an item of news, and at the conclusion of the paragraph wished Mr. Mann success. We find, however, that we we-e mistaken in supposing that Mr. Pool was th j present bourn bent. The offi:e in question is at present filled by Jahcs W. Iinton, Esq., than whom, we are informed, tbere is not a more capable, faithful and tealooa pa olio officer in the Sute, he having discharged the duties of aaid office the past erm tothe entire satisfaction of every eiti- sea of the country, and therefore meriting success at the ensuing election. f Saoonva Arras.?.

The Washington cor respondent of the Charleston Mercury, gives us an insight into Cabinet making. The '-frilling off" allusion, we suppose, refers to Mr. C bb. The Democratic family, at this tim, presents quite an interesting aspect. This writer says : "You will have published, ere this reaches you. the names of the new Ctbinet. The dehty in its formation, was occasioned principally by a strug gle f"r the ascendancy of rival fictions in the President's own S ate, one of whon pressed Hon Glancy Jones, at present a number of Con gress, and the other Judge Black, of the Supreme Court, for a seat in the Ctbinet. The latter waa backed by Colonel Forney, and from this result, it ia supposed that he will have considerable in fluence in the Administration. Nominally, the South hs a groat jirep jndr snce in the disposal of the p:rtnae of the Go vernment the Treasury, Interior, War, and Pit Office Departments, embracing riiuofiiths of the appointments and contracts. But the dioporsa tiou of the loaveo and fi-thes ia so well understood here to be an element of weakness instead of a'.re-gth, tht the incumbent of one of the promi Lent seat is supposed to have been placed there with a view of ai'ling him off as a Presidential candidate for the succi-rion. There are so many applicants for omce, that there are generally ten enemies made to one friend in the disposal of it. Indeed, one of the most embarrassing questions for the decision of the Administration, and which meets it at the threshold, is the dispensa tion of the spoils. The outsiders are for clean sweep, on the principle of rotation in office, and a tremendous pressure will be brought to bear oa the President to induce his acquiescence.

The Philadel phia correspondent of the Baltimore American, writing Monday, notices a startling occurrence at the Opera House there, as follows : " A ragedy, appalling from its suddenness, oc- enrred during the performance of Linda di Cha- mounix, at the Academy of Music, on Saturday evening Une of th female choristers, an Itali an woman of conailerable embonpoint, was ob served by several persons on ths stage to lean against on of the wing pieces, in the .titude of a sick person. .Assistance was immediately ren dered, and ao qnietly, that she was led off the stage without any of the audience observing it. She was taken to the green-room, but died be fore reaching it The inr-Mect was certainly startling enough to shake the nerves of a set of fashionable people, c a troupe of Italian musi cians, or even ol a theatre manager.

Mobdecai, Ksq Pres't of the Bank of the State of A C. : w , .. no i. : Sir : Tn a short time the atoekholders of the Bank of the State of North Carolina, over which you preside, will be called on to determine whether they will aoeept the char ter for renewal of the bank, passed by the re cent Legislature. Raving presided over the institntition for several years past, and at tentively devoted your time and talents in its management, it is reasonable to suppose that you have a more thorough, minute, and relia ble information of its operations and affairs than any other man in the State. ' The con fidence, too, heretofore so long and with such unanimity of the stockholders reposed in you, justified wit', al, by the remit of your administration, will not ontj 'cnae yonr opinions to be sought, but will givo them a weight far superior to that which will be at . J taohed to the judgment of, others. Doubtless, without any special direction to particular points, the entire charter has al ready engaged your attention, and will con tinue to do so, until the time of ultimatejac tion shall arrive. It may not be amiss, how ever, to solicit your anxious examination of several matters, all of which must affect the stockholder, and many of : them the welfare of the Common School Fund, the stock of th University, and that of the State ; and abov all, the currency of the State, and the business of the people. W'th the view, more effectually and tho roughly, to ensure your examination of these question", I may occasionally offer sugges tions of my own. The first matter for your consideration, which I shall present, is the amount of in creased capital. This is important, directly, in two particulars : First, : in respect of the amount of the increase, namely, one-half ; secondly, in the character of the capital, to-wit, that one-sixth, at least, must be Stafe bonds. Indirectly, it is important, .as it may affect the state of the currency, and the business of the people. First : Unless it be very clear that such an increase caa be used, it is a great misfortune that it had not been left discretionary with the bank to augment it capital or not, as experience might have dictated. Can three rn'llions of capital be absorbed in legitimate banking business ? Which of your present branches demand an increase, and to what extent ! In what other places besides those already selected can you safely establish branches, and in What amount In ten years subscribed bank capital has been more' than doubled ; aud chaptered oapital has been al most trebled. To this amount the legisla ture has added a million and a half to the stock of the Bank of the State, absolutely, and secures the privilege (if increased in five years) of increasing the capital of the Cape Fear Bank, to three millions, with the liberty to subscribe stock in bonds as is pro vided iu this charter. Have the commerce of the State, and the interchange of commod ities within, or on her borders, so increased, or are they likely so to increase shortly, as to demand the proposed: augmentation of capital ? Secondly, if the amount of capital be need ed, and the million allowed to individuals shall be subscribed by them, what will be the effect on the operation of the business, to have half a million of capital in State bonds locked up in the vaults ? ; Can it safely sup port a circulation of two i to one ! If not, how much can it bear If yon cannot base a circulati m on it, can you use it to buy ex change ? If yon can do neither with it, what is it fit for but to eat out the profits of the residue of the capital in the shape of an in direct tax on individual stock ? If you can employ it in no profitable mode, what will be its effect on a dividend of 8 per cent on the capital of $2,500,000 paid in specie, suppos ing the tax to be 30 cents on the share, and 4 per cent on the dividends? According to my estimate, the average dividends including the ooupons as profits on the whole capital, will be $7.66 ; on which j the tax for share and dividend, will be 60 i cents, which added to the draw back of 34 cents, by means of the bond stock, will make the annual tax on each share of stock 94 i cents ! If the divi dend on the specie capital be 7 pier cent,the annual tax on each share, by th o same mode of estimating it, will be 74 ce nts. If the dividend be six per cent, the tax on each share will be 54 cents. Bear in mind, that thia is the lowest con templated tax. On the share it may be rais ed to f I, and is without j limit on the divi dend. In this view, the State, the Common Sohool Fund and the University are all indifferent to the condition of the stockholder. Ton are requested to examine this calcu lation. If the amount of capital be not needed, it is obvious that the great diminution of profits as shown above, will stimulate the bank to geek loans and thus inflate the currency rnd excite a spirit of speculation, which, once aroused, rnins the people,; the currency and the stockholder. ' In this view, the State, the Common School Fund, and the University are all overwhelm ed in the common calamity. These are the indirect effects of a needless augmentation of capital, and high taxes' on the stockholder. I shall in the next number, direct your at. tention to the provision for the subscript) on hythe8tate. ! A. , , . dA stranger who gave bis name as I D.

That men, even ministers who were ad mitted to be not onlv of the greatest moral worth, but eminent christians, should hold slaves, has puzzled the abolitionist as an anomaly, as great as the nersitent practice of nown sin, co-existing with admitted holiness of heart and life, or, as light and darkness could be.

Symh : Those who have had the pleas ure of earing the Roanokf butter at the hospita ble bnardB of the Messrs. Burgwyn of Northamp ton, and elsewhere in the vMnity of their admii rably conducted farms, (for it sometimes finds it way thence into the neighborhood, and ocrriion aUy t"avh a greater distant" on a friendly er rand,) will at once acknowledge its superiority over any other made ia the State, and its equali ty with the very best produced any where. The high perfection givu to this most deli cious article of food in this particular locality of the Roanoke Valley, is doubtless attributable to to the rich grases with which these gentlemen have staked their beautiful awl expensive pas ture grounds." In this department of agriculture tbey have gone a bow-shot beyond any other farmers on the river, and . have introduced into their system of farming a regular cultivation of the best and mst congenial grasses wh'ch re tn be obtained : and the results ar rewarding them not only in the improvement of their soil, but in the production of the choicest Iwf, mut ton, milk and butter to b found in the South. The agricultujal capacities of this magnificent valley have been too little developed. Its greet natural adaptation to grain, and its exclusive de votion to the gTowth of Indian corn and wheat, as articles of sale, have hidden from view most of its oher abundant and fertile pnrees of wealth, sme of Vhich these gentlemen are nw displaying to the delight and astonishment even, of the old settlere.

We bejievo there is no such bank in ex'stence, but was some years ago the name of which has been changed into the "Marine Bank." These bills are evidently bad, and the circumstance under Which thev were passed proves a wrong lnteo'lert. One of these bills waa pissed upon a flat-boatman by some men who went into bis boat late one night ani wished to buy sorr.e pia toes. The man said he would take five bnshels. and handed over Hfifiy and received thirty four do'lars ot good money in exchange.
