RAYNER, To Mcsrs. Jacob, Acker, Joseph Hoxie, &c, New Y'ork. ER0.M HON. EDVVAUD STANLY. Washington City, 1 8th June, 1842. Gentlemen: I have hid the honor to re ceive a letter from you requesting me to be present at a public meeting to be held on the 22J inst., at the National Hall in the Citv of New York, for the purpose of presenting the name of the Hon. Henry Clyof Kentucky, as the candidate of the Whigs at the next election. I regret very much that my duties here require my attention, and forbid me to leave the tVty. " " I most cordially approve of the object f your meeting. It ia due to tlie country that the voire, of New York ; should be heard at this period. It is due to the statesman who so eminently deserves our gratitude for a long life of devotion to the best interests of the whole countrv. After anattenlive observation of events for twelve months past, I feel confident from many evidences, from various parts of the counlrr. that Mr. Clav is mure popular at this day than he has ever been Of this you must be satisfied, and have no doubt observed the cheering manifestations of public regard and confidence. Of the' course of North Candin, rela tive to a nomination of a candidate for the Presidency. I am proud to peak. In the darkest hour of our trouble, when des nomlencv and ilesprir seemed to have o- vtrwhelmed the Whigs she did not falter or hesitate. At the earlest meeting of tlfe people, from different parts of the state, she expressed with enthusiasm and unani mity her preference for Mr. Clay, -'thvre iano State irt the Union except Kentucky, whos people are so ardently attachpd to Mr. Clay as the people of North Carolina. You may rely on the North State that she- will be true to her princi ple. She has always been attached to the Union, ami cannot reluse the tribute of her affectionate admiration for the man who, through a long liferin adverse and prosperous political circumstances, ha been uniformly devoted to the inter est of, his whole country. Nomanevjr heard from him one whisper calculated to foster sectional feelings or prejudices dOTerit g widely in (hi respect from other prominent politicians. How creditable tu mm, now nonoraoie to the country, is the present manifestation of good feeling in his behalf. He lias re tired to the thadea ot Asiuann wiuioui patronage, without power with the whole weight ot Executive influence exerted to destroy liiui liis absence regretted by all good patriots, and welcomed-home by thou sand of honest hearts, testifying the af fection cherubed towards linn Dy the people. In a majority of the States, the feeling seem to be bursting out spontane ously in his favor. Notwithstanding the difficulties which treachery has. brought upon us, we have many causes of rejoicing. Our candidate has been tried and found faithful and true. We are gaining strength daily, with a candidate whose capacity, patriotism, disinterestedness and fidelity cannot be impeached by hia bitterest foes. Our opponent are divided, and their di visions ar becoming greater and more apparent every houTT Surcets is therefor at our command, if we choose to make lhe Trlinn As to the opposition from the weak, de luded, and pitiable man now acting as Pre sident, I count it aa nothing, since tne first month of hia unexpected elevation, which has turned hia brain, he has been diligently endeavoiing, by unscrupulous means,' o form a party. What progresa has be made? Jle hue not now aix friends in Congress, "per ae." Not even our po litical opponent will have him; and he stands, a blasted victim of his own depra ved ambition, branded with public reproba tion fof hia unparalleled "treachery, a re proach Wia country, iui object or pity to all parties. Thi language ia not harsher than is deserved. The papers understood to enjoy die confidence of thi man are indus triously engaged in attempting to bring Con gress into disrepute, by the most unblush ing falsehoods. They are paid to traduce the representatives of the people, that the preoent occupant of the white house may escape public censure. Other men, nrho have presided over the destinies of thia coun try, have had their' faults and committed er rors, but the present incumbent is the only 'l int. A R O LI N ,r, ,Z K man, who ever attained so high a a tat ion, whose conduct baa been" sbluameal to compel gendemen to refuse to associate with him. Even a Senator from hia own State has said, "Hi conduct had formed a bar in superable to all personal lespeet or commu nication. And this ij the man whose orifans are daily denouncing Congress. And here let me say, there never was a Congress which transacted business of importance with grea ter despatch, or was more industrious than the present. There was never a party, here tofore, who had greater difficulties to contend with than the present Whig party. Beside the opposition to be encountered by the Whigs from an organised band the self styled Democrats we have the Executive against us. Even now, his friend in and out of Congress and his presses, are threa tening he will veto the moet important bill of the session, unless the Distrihmion bill is repealed a bill which met with his appro bation, which he-never opposed until heaaw Mr. Clay bad the credit of its passage. It is honorable to the American people, that in their estimation, "a Tyler man" is a terra of reproach. How "melancholy must he his fate! He has not, from all I can learn, three friends in North Carolina; and away from the immediate influence of his office holders, he stands in like condition in other States, But let us cast aside all thought of these temporary annoyances. Let us look, as we ought, with cheerful hearts to the future. Our old enemies are divided, and have ir recoverably lost public confidence. The present administration is too insignificant to bo regarded. Our path, then, is clear ot any insurmountable obstacles. Let us raise our banner, with the name of Henry Clay, un furled to the breeze, and success awaits our efforts. With high respect, your ebt. svt. EDW. STANLY. Jacob Acker, Joseph Hoxie, Chas. M. Gra ham, G. B. Crane, I). Austin Muif, Esqs., Committee &,c, New York. GOV. MOREHEAD'S VISIT TO GUII FORD. Our citizens, having learned that Gov ernor Morehead would be here on Friday morning, on a public visit, determined to receive him with a demonstration of their affection and respect. Accordingly, at 9 o'clock on that morning, the citizens, without distinction of party or sex, re paired to the southern limit of the town and formed in front of the Caldwell Insti tute, on each aide of the street. A com mittee on horseback met his Excellency on the Fayetteville road, at the South Buffalo bridge, tome mile and a half from town, and escorted him to th border of the village. Oa hi entering between the line in an open carriage, Ralph Gorrell, Esq., who had been appointed to welcome him among us, addressed him nearly af follow: - Sir: I have been appointed by your Fel low Citizens, the inhabitants ofthis Town, as their organ on this occasion, to tender to you their congratulations,' their good wishes, and a hearty welcome. We wel come you as the Executive chief of our old North State, which ha given to you higher demonstrations of popular regard than was ever given to any other of her citizens. We welcome you as a citizen of our beloved County, Guilford) and it is a matter of proud and joyful recollection, that our good old county, whose soil has felt the tramp of "chargings(juadrons"and been moistened with the blood of the Re volutionary patriots and heroes, has fur nished to the state the man whom the whigs of North Carolina have delighted, to honor, and who is worthy of the highest honors in their gift. We welcome you as th? representative and champion of whig principles, who bore the whig flag triumphantly from the ocean wave to the mountain tops and crowned it with glorious victory in 1840, and who, we believe, at the sacrifice of your own ease and domestic comfort will bear it a tain to victory in 1843. We could not do less, then, than meet you here, and cheer you on in your arduous and patriotic course, and bid you God speed. But no official station; no honors which have been heretofoie bestowed, or which can hereafter be conferred upon you, ran give yo any nigner iwe in our regaru than that which you acquired as a man in a residence of twenty years among us. We welcome yon. therefore, as an old and highly prized Fellow Citizens as an associate companion friend: vie wel come you, more than all,, a John M. Morehead. To this very appropriate address Gov. Morehead arose and Irom the carriage re plied in a most felicitous manner fot tome tenor fifteen minute. He alluded with much fee ing totbe gloriou reminiscen ce which connected him with old Guil ford the ties and recollections which n nited him to her soil and her sons ties which no distance could sever recollec tion which no time could erase. He felt that in this town, among its modest tem ples reared to the living God and it tem ples erected to science in the bosom of this trae and patriotic people, when hia service to the State was done, he could spend the day which Fi evidence might allot to him with as much of peace as cold be enjoyed in any' spot upon .the globe. He spoke modestly of the manner in which he had borne the whig banner to victory in 1840 but he spoke with an energy and determination, nf the manner in which the best interest of the country required it should be borne In 1842, tint would have warmed the heart of the most desponding whig in the State. He expressed his grat" ification at the manner in ' which his dis charge of official duties had been alluded to; he felt conscious of having endeavored to discharge hia duties with a due regard to the best interest of the State, and was hsppy to fincY notwithstanding the a saults of partizan leader and puny scrib blers, that large portion of hi fellow cit TTE- izens, of both parties, spproved nf the manner in which he had discharged those duties. But he spoke with deep emotion upon that part of the address which wel comed him a ao old and highly prized fellow citizen-as an a.ciae compan ion friend. - Acceptable as was the wel -come to him ian tK Chief Magistrate of the State, and aa the chieftain of hi party, yet still more accep'able was that cordial welcome from those who had known him lowest and loved him bfit that hi-artfett welrome, more lhan all to John M. More head. The Governor alighting from his car riage, he and the speaker walked in front the ladies, the e ergy, the citizens and student failing into the procession in dou ble files. The procession, enlivened by the national airs of a band ol young gen tlemen amateurs, moved up South street to the court-house, up West street to Mcl vei's corner, then up (he cross street to the quarters of hia Excellency at his broth er's, our county Senatofwhere he under went the compliment of a general and hear ty ihake-hanas with his old neighbors. This being St. John's day, there was a masonic procession, and an address deli vered at the Presbyterian church to a large audience by the Rev. Mr Kerr: after which the fraternity and invited guests, among whom a an invited guest was Gov. Morehead, sat down to a sumptuous dinner prepared by Mrs. Moring in her usualele gant style. The good leeling and hilarity which prevailed showed that there was no necssity far stimttlui the dinner was upon the strictest temperance princi ple. . - The Gotehsob's Aodrks. At in early hour Saturday the citizens of the county began to gather in to ray their respects to their distinguished fellow connty-man. A stage and seats were pre church, where, at I o'clock a lanre crowd of the yeomanry of the country assembled the interior of the church being graced by a number of the ladies of the p'ace. Considering that the farmers of the country- are in the basiett of their harvesting and crop season, the turn-out was fully equal to our expectations. The old men came nut, and left the boy at work. And among those present we had the pleasure of recognizing several respectable and in fluential gentlemen from surrounding coun tie. . . s Gov. M. spoke for about four hours with an energy that neier flagged, and to an audience whose deep attention wa not wearied. 1 he quiet decorum and gen tlemanly deportment which prevailed, we are proud to say, ia characteristic of an assembly of Guilford peop'e, no matter who or of what party the speaker may be. We rannot pretend to follow the Gov ernor through the various subject which he discussed, or to give even an outline of his speech; we will merely advert to a few of his topics, for the satisfaction of our rea ders who were not present. He commenced with a tribute to the people of his own county. During the canvass of 1840 he was away in other parts of the Sute most of hia time, and had not the opportunity to make a single appeal to the people of Guilford; they ne vertheless endorsed him to the State" and to the world with over twenty-two hun dred tore. That overwhelming manifes tation of their confidence made him zeal ous no more for his own honor than that of old Guilford. In whatever he did, he recollected witht pride ami the most grate ful emotion the county that had done so much for him and the great political cause in which he was engaged, and determined that through Aim no tarnish should ever lall upon her glorious name and fame. He mentioned the determination expres sed in his inaugural address, to be Gov ernor of the Stute, not, of party. That determination he had adhered to, sad ever would adhere to. In his official capacity he had known no party he now knew no party he knew nothing, he considered nothiog, but the best interests of the Slate of North Carolina and 0 her people. And he had never heard the whisner of an ob jection to his official conduct, until the p- postte party bt ought out their candidate for Governor when, for the purpose of elevating that man. objections began to be manufactured with an industry character istic of the party, and sluices of abuie were opened upon him by a host of news paper scribbler. These "censsres he had not noticed until they were endorsed in the public addresses of Mr. Henry. They had fallen to the ground under the sword of truth? a plain statement of hia ad ministration of all the public money com mitted to his care; and the manner in which ha had discharged h'iautiei "as connect. d with the Internal Improvement nd Literary Boards, and with every oihr interest of the State, every where left him in a fairer position before the people .1.-1 I It 1,; . rn.i . r. . wiiu nau caueu nra 10 nil tneir executive Chair.Ilejpokejyit!ialL the freedom and fearlessness of one conscious of having done his duly.

Greensboro' Pal. June, 8. COMMERCE OF THE U. STATES MR. KENNEDY'S REPORT. . We pubish this morning, to the exclu sion of othr matter, the first portion of the Report of the Committee recently pre. sented to the House of Representatives. We commend it to the special attention of our readers, and hope they will give it a careful perusal. The Report is so thorough ly digested, so welt arranged, and so clear ly expressed, that the perusal will be easy and the systematic e der in which the various parts are put together, will en able the reader to retain distinct impres sions of the tacts adduced and the conclu sions arrived at on each bead. The pre'iminary review of the domestic. affa:rs of the country a affected by the previous policy of the government in res-i pec t to the Currency, the Public Land and the Tariff, will be found to contain a compendium of facts' worthy of partic lar attention. The time ba now come, we hnpei when these thing can be looked, at dispassionately in ao far a lhe past i concerned. The statements in the Report may be compared with the record of hi tory, and the honest inquirer need be at no loss in arriving t fair deduction.' Whatever may have been the reasons which influenced Gen. Jsckson in his warfare a- declining to sanction the Land Bill hica in substance he had recommended.or what ever may have been the causes which re sulted in the abandonment of the protective -policy, the facts themselves stand ia their own force, and the consequences of them-, are plain to the view. . We may exercise, all charity in respect tomotives but reaK . itieaara not to begainsajeJ; they must be , regarded. , . , In reference to the Bank of the United States, the disastrous fate of that institution after it lost its national character, and passed from under the supervision of die General Government, has thrown no small amount of odium around its very name.1 It ia unfor tunate that H ever received a State charter and found itself compelled, in the limited sphere to which it was reduced, to employ, ita means in various MnestraeitU and enter prises foreign from Uie legitimate purpose of banking. But let the errors and bad man agement of that partk jlar institution be visi ted with all the censure they may deserve, the great principle still remains in all ita ne cessity sod force, lost a central, national es tablishment to regulate, '.be currency ana, exercise a wholesome control over local bank i indispensable, and" must be had.
