FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1839. " We announce with sincere regret the death of Mathcw Caret. A; few davs aero, Mr Carct was thrown fromtbis carriage, receiviner a severe contusion of the) bead and being other wise hurt. ; It was believed that bis injuries were by no means seriobs, but; they may have aggravated an intermittent fever, which proved! the cause of his death.! i hi r.

Daring his basin ess life, but particularly since his retirement, Mf. Carey was actively emptoyea in pniianinropo pursuits. With a clear intellect, a soond edacation, a disposition to seek oat objects of reform and; amelioration in society, and the; energy jo carry out approved means, he possessed also the unbounded liberali ty which is the purest evidence of sincerity and the soul of success. Asia writer,. he' was re markable for the coocise array of facts which are brought to sustain his opinions, jln questions of political economy, Mr. Cirey always evinced a deep interest ; and even hose who dispute his positions mast admit the a )ility and candor with which he maintained them. His last writings, produced within jtheJast wo months, are a. se ries of papers entitled the! ".Querist," concern ing the cotton trade, evincii ig industrious research and a mind unimpaired by! the lapse of fiturscore years. The attention of tlr. Carey was also directed to plans of poblic education and various means of elevating the condition of the laboring classes. His exertions in favor of indigent women were unremitting, and it if i believed that in this city they were attended w jib gratifying changes in the condition of that unfortunate class. We cannot, at this moment 1 present a biographical sketch of Mr. Carey, or attempt to do justice to LS TtiJ i .i nia inrniorj. jus name isiamttiar in tniscoun- Vqr and in Europe as a firm supporter of rational iSriy, aod a soOertr in! lis cause.1 Through a able9' he devoted fita energies, with onquehch His pihosiasm, to grsa ;and good purposes, the deah8 Pen fr nem as his counsel.

The " writer, of Edito rial " (who, byjthe byebears the ear-mar of the other two). thinks that a commercial convention wojald be very proper, but that political conventions are altogether wrong Now all this is easily seen through ; and is but another added toUhe many proofs al ready extant jf the determination of Mr. Fisher to j uphold the; spoils party. He knows very wiell that there is no other pos sible way of singling out a candidate in op position to Mr.tVan Buren than through a convention He knows that it is in con- templatioh! to hold preliminary meetings in this (Rowan) and the adjacent counties to send delegates to. the Harrisburg Whig Convention : f ;Ie knows that he has him self more than! once attended such Conven- . ! hi U I tions and thought them proper enongh : But he is now unwilling to trust the action of the people because, no doubt, he thinks it will be unfaVorable to his new favorite; Martin Van Boren, and these three essays are evidently got up to fbrestal and counter act these proposed meetings. He wishes, no doubt, as long as he lean to have the ex elusive ear of thii people, that he may con nnue to humbug and mislead them through the colomns of ithe Carolinian. It is roani fett that he drearjs a free discussion in pri mary meetings of the. citizens : hence he tries to convince ithem that each meetings are anti-repoblic4n.
