the elevalmn ol thi great ttatctman to the

as Mr. Clay fovea his country, he surpat

rior lo him in (hit respect rand in a notde
and disinterested sacrifice of all selfish
views and ambition, when in contrast
with ihe duly of a patriot-citizen,, neither
can justly da m a pre-eminence over the
other. In a word Ihe fulle.t confidence
of every true-heaited American citizen
may be safely placed in both. A a pre

SPECTATOR OFFICE,
Newbehn, N. C. April 20ih 1843
We anticipate llie day of publication, to
announce lo our reader abroad, that our
loun has just been visited by one of ihe
most extensive and destructive fnes, that I. as
occurred here, within the recollection of our
oldest inhabitants. On Tucsdny last, just
before 2 o'clock, P. M., while nsosi of our
citizens, were dining, the alarm of fire was
given by the ciliaenr and ringing of bells,
ami it was soon discovered that the Steam
Milt near Union Point, owned by John
Ulackwcll, Esq. and known as lie Wade
Mill, was on fire. In short space many
were on the apot, uing every efftm to ex
Uniruisli the flume, but it ra?d with such
violence, they svere-driven from the Mill, and
rushed lo ihe protection of the bunding I
ft
ing on the eastern part ol the town
increase our alarm and danger, at this lime
ihe wind was blowing half a gale from S. S.
E. which soon veered due South, increas
ing in violence at the flame spread. In 30
minutes a waie-houae belongine; to Mr. I
aac Taylor, at a distance of 200 yards
from ihe Mill, was on fire, and in 10 ntmutes
ihe building on the corner of South Front
Street, and almost simultaneously with
these, the roof of the dwelling on Pollock
street, occupied by Mr. La Motte, nearly
euv varus irom trie Aim, were in names
Onward dill the fire NgeJ until the alarm J
(or the suft'ty of the whole of the town lying
East of Craven eircct, became ceneral. At
half past diiwe o'clock, Ihe Jam aire wa
imminent, in twenty different poiuts, which
so disconcerted vhe citizens, Uiat no definite
rally could lie mode at any one point for the
suppression of the fire. Fortunately there
was a alight nielination of Ihe wind at 4 o'
clock to the westward, whkh inspired
some hope that the greater portion of the
lown wcild be aaved from- ruinw 'Fhe fire,
however continued to spread, until all the
building on the south side of South Front
atreel up to Mr. John llarrcy's brick dwel
ling, and on the north tide of said street to
My. Chadwirk's, up Craven treet
lo the Merchant's Bank on the west side,
and a block nf Cre proof buildings on the
east side; on both sides of East Front-street
beyond Pollock, and on Pollock nearly to
Craven, were levelled to llie ground. We
are unable at present to state the extent of
the injury done, but we suppose we peak
i.i : - .t i i i .i .
wiimn inn uminus wnen wo say, mat at
least BObui'dingw occupied as dwellinge.wrre
tleatrovetlt at least 500 persons were turned
out ol uoors, ami me loss ni properly could
not l short 1 00,000." Many of the
peuons Mnhelteit;d' are unable to rake rare
nf themselves r having noi ordy lost dieir
houses, but iheir clothing, furniture and pro
visions. The citizen generally are doing-
what they can lor ttietr rvliei; bul tn the pre
sent pressure, they are unable tn furnish the
aid many of ihejn- ne.J. A yet, we have
rto good evidence lo believe iliat sny ersons
perished in the flames, though many reports
of that nature have been rireulaied. Much
credit is due to some of our citizens Ar their
indefatigable exertions during thw fire, and
we are happy to say, that the ministers of
our town, who are ever watchful of our pi
itual interests, were not backward in at
tempting lo relieve the suhVrcrs in their Se
vern temporal distresses,

MR. VAN BUREN AND THE
i'UBLIC LAN)S.
We believe il i generally thought that
Mr. Van Buren is opposed to the dig'.iibu
tion of llie proceed of the ;les of the public
land. The Whin are called Federalists
because Uiey support that measure, bul we
never heard a Democrat even intimating that
Martin Van Buren is m, mwh of a Federal
ist as any tf them, if thai be Federalism, fir
supporting the very same tiling. If mkr

was perfectly or.hoilox in Mr. Van Buren
is heterodox in a Whig. Mr. Van Buren
can support the distribution of the proceeds
of the s. ile of llie public l.mds, and be a good
Uepuhlicnn. lie can support the Taritr, a
he did the Tariff of 1827. and would have
supported the Tariffol 1828, but dodged the
question, but going home to his constituent
stated that he must be considered favorable -lo
protection, as "he owned 020,000 worth ;
of sheep," and yet for supporting both of
these, he is the pink of Republicanism, while .
every Whig who snppnris the same mens-1
ures Bre denonireed ss ilnmiltoninn Federal- i
rsle. -Truly, llie iw f.tshioned-Ilemocrjiry
Assume great many shapes wlapts itself
to every latitude is one thfng in the North
and another in the South, and amounts to
very little al last any where. We intend
to give below an extract from a speech of
Mr. Van Huron in May 1820, in the Senate"
of the United States. Mr. Van Buren said
iu tli lit speech:
' Theveuhject of ihe public lands was be
coming daily, more and more inteiesting,
and would occupy much time in legislation.
Il extended the patronage of the Government
over the S"sle in which lliey were situated,
to a great extent ; it subjected ihcin to an un
wise and unprofitable dependence on Feder
al Government. No man could render the
country a greater service, than he who should
deviee soinc plan by which the United States
might be relieved from the ownership of
this property by otne equitable mode. He
would vote for a proposition I to invest the
lauds ki the Stale in which they stood, on
yust ami efuitable terms, as related to the
other Stales m die confederacy. He hop
ed, that after having full information on the
subject, they should be able to effect that
great object, lie believed that if those lands
were disposed of at once lo the several States,
it would be satisfactory to ail. n
Though die Democrats call it unconstitu
tional, they support a man who has support
ed it. lie i iu favor of "disposing of the
public land to the several Slates," which
is a ciear ami oeciueu auinission oi tne con
stitutional power to distribute. Mr- Van
Buren and his supporters surely will not
have the effrontery lo call it a Federal meas
ure when we find he admits iu constitution
ality and supports its expediency.

tllulion. to establish an .flice or offices in asv
of the State, whatever, and the establishment
whereof shall he directed by law, be ,
duty of the said directors to establish such office
or duces accordingly. '
The suestion of the assent of the Slates. Mr.
Clay argued was one of expediency a0ll(,f rnd
did not involve the conslitaiiensl power of Con-
K,co. caaui,in unx' That
claimed and exercised in th
power was
k I ; t 1 f
the Bank the priwleg, of hran-hinrr was a
matter entirely dhiin(,r, and might be conferred,
subject to sny restrictions ap(tj ,ha Dileclort
Conyress might see jt )0 impo, end thoto res
trictions could oot. by any fair constrnction, be
understood as a concession on the part of Coo
iress, or an abandonment of its eonstimtjonal
power. Bnt the last e'aiue of the seclinn. Mr.
C. affirmed, rendered Ihe matter beyond all dis
pule that Congress, so far from yielding or even
seminT lo yield its constitutional power to es
tablish hranches io the several Stales, expressly
asserted the power to exisi and declared its in
tentton to exercise it whenever it might become,
in the words of ihe Constitutional. " neresary
and proper for earrying into execution any of lh
powers granted to conaresshy thai iiiatmrnenl.
"The charier, in ibis form, was not snch as
he himself or tbo mass of the Whirrs, would
have preferred, but Ih y retarded it as a auottnn
of expedii-ncy anil not s a matter of principle,
and a the Bill could only be pasird bv rctiiuinp
this festure, the great body of ih Whigs were
wlllins lo yirld this minor eonilera'.ion for the
saks of securing the p.i.ge ofrhe riill and furn
fiBini to llie country s sound sn j uniform curren
cy. 'Upon the questions ol lbs Tariff", and rhs Dis
IrihuiioB of the proceeds of the PoMie Lsnds, Mr.
C conclusively showed thai Ihe Whig, in Cnneres
had dons every thing rbst eouU bs expected nf
them. They hsd succeeded in passing Tariff
which, while it affords sufficient revenue ! meel
lh wants of an economics! administration of the
Government, si th same lime slTirds adequate in
cidental protection lo American Induitry. The
Whig had bn rensurrd for Ibe clauts which
wss stlsched to ibe Dwtribn ion Bill si originally
passed, providing that whenetcr the rats or duties
should exceid SO per cent. Ihe distribution ahnald
be sofpended. In ibis mv only roolJ ihs Dill
hsvs pamd at that time, and btlicving that, in the
adjutlinent of Ih Tar It, it would nol be neeessa.
ry la sxcesvl that rate, or thsl, if it should, Ihs post
poning clans might bs afterwards repesled, the
Whigs, rather than loss the Dill entirely, gave
reloeiant eonsvnt to its introduction. At Ihe next
scinn that etaoso was repealed, and the Distribu
tion law stripped of all rings or impediments wAich
would prevent i'sn free snd full rierri., bnt Mr
Tyler interposed bis veto and thwarted Congress
in this mesror.
WHENCE CAME THOSE FLOWERS?
Tlic citizens are cautione'd against buying
Flowers ftom servant. There are some
who are making a regular business of robbing
the Flower Gardens about the Cilv and sell
ing the Flowers. Meeting 'with eneorirage.
ment in this . nrfaiious business, and
finilmV ready purchasers, ihey have already
committed serious depredations, and may
be tempted to . the commission of greater
enormities, nnlens it is promptly checked.
The dwelling house of Mr. Brandt wa
forcibly entered a few night ago, and robbed
of flowers, no donSt, with the view of turn,
ing them into rrtoney; for no one who rears
flower for ihe lore of ihem will steal.
The City authorities will look to thi
mriller; and the eiliicns generally will here
after be on th alert! (Microcosm.

that is, by rrrnoi) of the ballot box. Thai I
am a Whig, it is needless to inform yotr.
None other could have recei veil ihe con
Gdence of the Convention, f will nntssf
"I am every inch a Whig'' because ia
these day of political rlegenerary, pi
fession it nothing, practice should be every
thing. In the highest office in the gift of

of principles- has besn associated
with a Ireahery which will be notable i

than enough revenue fur the economics!

A I expect at a proper lime (o visit lli;

honest zeal lo maintain their principles?
