We have now exposed the mtsstaiements and misrepresentations ot Messrs. Montgomery and Hawkins. In doing So, it has not been oor de sire to wound their (eeUnge,oi to indulge in harsh, and offensive language We have prepared this communication a: the request of many good peo ple from North Carolina. We feel we are but doing justice to General Harrison,' a meri tor iocs public servant, whose character is of more value to him than all the wealth on earth, whose pri vate life has beer, hitherto unsullied, without a stain and without reproach, and whose services in ibe field have shed a lustre upon American arms that all patriots wilt think upon with exat tation and pride.

We sup pose we have not pleased, ajllf nor did we expect to. It is gratifying and encourag ing to us, however, that oMr labors hye been rewarded far beyond our most san guine expectations. Our subscription list has increased within the last year, about two hifalred andi twenty. This is also a sign of the success of the cause for which we havre done battle. The past year has been somewhat event ful : Laws of great importance to the Well fare of the Country, have been passed b!y Congress; and precedents have obtained or thai floor which are fraught with ten dencies that may one day blast the peace and prosperity ol the Nation. Conven tions charged with important business baye met, deliberated and decided. Meetinga of thel people after a manner never before heard of, have filled our journals with their proceedings ; and the high state of politi cal excitement as now existing from Maine to Louisiana, we suppose without a parallel in the history of the last half century. What is to be the end of all which is now looked upon with so much interest and anxiety, by the people, the future alone can reveal. But; there is a weighty responsibility rest ing upon all who have in the least degree, the direction of this excitementnd enthu siasm. This, with us, seems to be a proper time to offer pardon to such as have misrepre- j senied our political course and sentiments; and if we haveudone injustice io others, we ask forgiveness. VVe return our most cordial thanks to those who have stood by us during the past year. We shall spare no pains at least to deserve their good will, by pursu ing, as we have endeavored to, that course which our judgment points out to us as the righJtJone. We will not regard personal; consequences. We fee! that wc are, in some degree, the agents of the people , audi as stich, we are bound to be faithful to our charge. B'jjt without detaining you longer,, we. willmention the principal matter lhat has; called forth this notice ; and we beg for it youj very strictest attention. f Thej tU'rkret(7i,' cash to enable us "to push along and keep moving'' is greatly needed ct preseht. Wfe commenced business with outjmoney depending entirely upon the indulgence of friends, and liberality of the imblie : and we hooe a bare mention of the to do tnwsame. wnigs could be compelled to IjoiiLjB this mot kefy of justice. The rest utterly re- t fused to do it. So much has been said on tjbe violence, injustice and disgraceful partiality of the reckless majority, that we shall forbear to comment further, than to say such a course would have been considered disgraceful to a Spanish Inquisition, or a Jacobin Club, in the days of Robespiere. Thd history! of it Lis appalling, and disheartening to all who chensh a hope for the permanency of our institutions.

Thi?, if true, and applicable to men who have any character that a jury of their fellow citizens ought to respect, would really be monstrous : it would be worse than they have made it and they haveit a grisly bear of si men pure. But our fellow eft izcos-have but to look through the clear unvarnished history and account of this matter bf tbe Hons.

CONGRESS. Congress has at last adjourned, and we solemnly believe it would have been well for the Nation if it had never convened. They have passed the Sub-Treasury law, and they have passed a law creating a National Debt of Five Millions of Dollars. Tbey have in part elected their own! body, and in so doing, have violated all ihej forms of law, and ail the maxims of right. To say that the confidence of the People in the wisdom and justice of that body has been greatly im paired, and that disorder and confusion will ensue from it unless something is done to re-assure public opinion, is most palpable. But tbe day of reckoning is at band : el us redress ourselves at the ballot box, and we ate as safe as ever. From the Raleigh Register.

The whole audience, from pit to gallery seemed to rise, and with shouting, huzzaing, clap ping bands, and stamping of feet, made tbe very building shake ! These deafening plau dits continued some time, and wound wp with three distinct rounds. To attempt to describe to you my feelings during such an unexpected thunderguet of national enthu siasm is utterly impossible. I choked the tears gushed from my eyes, and I can as sure you it was by great effort that I restrain ed myself from destroying all the illusion of the scene by breaking the fetters with which tbe age and character of Rip had in vested me, and exclaiming, in tbe fullness of my heart, God bless old Ireland f" .1 Li ;vl lb bill aflNj HvTtori- 1 There is great alarm in some parts of the Country among the Loco Focos for tbe safety of the Temperance "cause and they cry aloud against hard cider, and the Whigs.
