If, by reason off any increase in the size of the periodical or otherwise, it shall ap pear that the whole quarter's postage was not paid in advance, tho subscriber will lose the benefit of pre payment, and the numbers re ceived during the whole quarter will be charg ed with the double unpaid rate, and the sub fcriber will be credited with only the amount paid in advance. ; , Under the provisions olj the 2d section of the ntW postage act, no newspaper other than those published weekly only, are entitled to circulate iree of postage in the counties where publish. ed. The office-of publication is the office where the newspaper is printed. . In determining newspaper postages, the djs tances are to be computed from the office o 'publication, and not from the county line of the county in which the papjer is published ; and the distance is also to be computed over the route on which it is carried. , Newspapers published weekly only, in a county adjoining the Canada line, may be sent free.to Conada, provided they do not leave ihe county of publication until they cross the 1'rne into Canada. . , Newspjaper publishers may send and receive their exchange newspapers to and from Cana da Cre off charge. , A newspaper is not a periodical within the meaning jind Intent of thi? provision which re quires the postage on periodicals to be paid in advance, gnd tdeclares that the postage thereon shall be tie-half offhe rjates prefiously speci fied in thfi I2d section of t&e act. -All subscrib. ers to neivspapers were jand still are required by the provisions of the 30th section of the act . cf Marcht1825, to pay jne quarter's postage in advance ; but by so doing they are not en tilled to hare the postage reduced below the established rates. j Payments in advance enj newspapers and peri ndicals can only be made; by the subscribers at the post office where they are to be delivered.

The people of the North, However, the agitating portion of them, seem to regard it ar a privilege of birtprighlKto denounce the institution of slavery. Kjis true they have nothing whatevejr to dp with it ; it does-not exist among tfeem now, although it did onceXad perhaps they assume to themselves p superior degree of light and of virtue because the nature lof their cli mate and soil renderedthe continuance of slavery among them unprofitable, and therefore iniquitous. They can manufac ture cotton, the product of Islave labor, without having their conscience torn by the machinery of the niills. They know very well that withoujj slave labor they would get no cotton ; yet, plain, and cer tain as this fact is, they have; hitherto ad mitted it only in the -head ; it has not reached the pocket. When ft shall once touch the sensitive in that region, We may j expect to see the abolitionists of New England more forlorn tharf were the witches of he colonil days. Fugitive Islaves would be rejected like lepers and be told to go home anq growl cotton. We make these remarks in connection with the following extract from a com munication in the Washington Union un der the head of Editor's correspondence rom New York. It iskvorthy of note that anything should appear in that journal commendatory of Mr.' Webster without some accompanying disparagement : Ihe great error of opr northern states men and orators, who are sustaining the cause of the Union with thei if voicesTand pens, is tha.ty way of concession to the prejudices of those whom they are ad dressing upon the agitating subject of sla- .u lLl:. . r' i. vciy, nicy uic hi me imwii oi graiuuous-iy admitting that it is an Jevil, or; Renouncing it as a sin, while they deprecate all inter ference with it as unconstitutional or in expedient. Mr. Webster, in his latter ef forts, has to a great extent avoided this practice, and thus allowed the whole force of his mighty logiranq fervent eloquence to fall upon the minds of his hearers, with out at the same time furnishing them with n auiciu wucicwuu io'.jarry inc eiiects oi the blow. Hs address to the young men ot Albany was not on(y most admirable in its manner, and persuasive in its train of reasoning, but it presented our federal relations in a netf andjimpressive point of view. New toagreatextett we mean to the people of this section of the country (for, while we are very fond of talking of the concessions we Itave niade and are mak ing to the South, there; are but few who can take into consideration of are aware of the concessions the jlsouth as made to us concessions of immeasurable value, coeval with the formation of the govern ment, and continued rto this day) Mr. Webster's remarks upon this subject are worthy of being treasured in the memory of every one who is desirous of apprecia ting the true worth of ihe Union in all its bearings, what we owe to it, and how Strenuously we ought tjo defend it. He shows conclusively that to the es tablishment of our commercial system, which could not have been established without the assent of this South, and which assent she most magnanimously grant, though against what she conceived to be her own best interests the; North and Last owe, to a very great Extent, their present mercantile preleminefice and gen eral prosperity. He proves hat by this system, which is by no means essential to the welfare of the S( uthern States, but even as they believe, in a great measure detrimental to them, Newi York and New England engross! nearly the whole coasting and carrying rade qn both sides of the continent; that jby it ojbr great At lantic cities have been fostered and sus tained until they already vie with the proudest commercial (marts of the Did World, and our people have become wealthy and independent with a rapdity beyond all example in ancient or modern times.

There is no Whig candidate for Con gress in the State jwho so thoroughly both ers the calculations of the Iocofoco disun ion papers as Gen. Dockery. They fret and fume desperately, ahd call into exer cise all their powejrs of ridicule and abuse, the quill artillery of the party is now main ly directed at his devoted head. And what is it all fori Because Genera D. plants himself upjn the Compromise and stands by the Urjion ! And further, be cause he is iike)v to beat badly their champion, Green W. Caldwell, for a seat in Congress. But, indeed, it is not consistent in the Caldwell to "take on" prospects. Havr they never asked themselves whether it would not be a source of mortification and hu miliation to their friend to descend into that disreputable federal concern, the Con gress of the United States? Capt. C. , if we recollect right, was reported to have expressed an opitiion in the Legislature lastwinter in '4he great speech of the session" to the effect that the United States Government is just about no gov ernment at all ! j What is there in such a nonentity to arjouse the aspirations of a great man ? Vhy should he or his friends care how hnuch contempt General Dockery may draw upon himself by get ting into that abominable predicament before him ? Ofje would think that a right, sensible maiji would be running t'oth er way, instead of running with all his might for noplacq at all, and keeping all his friends in a terrible stew for fear he would not get thejre ! But perhaps these apparently inconsistent gentlemen have an inkling that jthere is some sort of a lame organization kept up at Washington, that manages to ay to some people eight dollars adav,"and roast beef" the which mightily plasters! up wounded chivalry, and maketh comfortable the bruised pride ojj secessionists, lji short is a wonderful panacea for the evils of Union. The Capt. and his friends may yet be brought to con fess that there is a government of the U. States existing for certain purposes. " But truce with irony. No wonder that Gen. Dockery is sneered at and abused by the locofoco disunion papers: he nev er had the advaniages of a liberal educa tion, and can't shne among the "eie"of the locofoco chivjalry. He is a plain, rough-hewn citizen the builder of his own fortunes a man of hard practical sense and blunt lonesty of purpose in stinctivtly faithful to the Constitution and to the Union ready at any moment to de fend them in any way, ajid not only so, but the open antagpnist of every body who seeks ttieir destruction. Such quali ties will always frjet people that cannot ap preciate them. I But Mr. Atlas l)argan has lately thrown the party organs into an extra pucker and rage. They talked nice to said Atlas showered soft siwder all over him to keep hirn in the field, so that between 4wo stools whigery arid the Union might come to the ground. But Mr. Dargan has with drawn from the cknvass : and these friend ly quill drivers of the party are now spat tering their nasty ink over him at a black rate for it. Why, Mr. Dargan understood them from the start read their hearts like a book. In his withdrawal speech "He alluded to thie hollowness of Democretic pretences never more hollow he said than now, they aimed m?rely at the ascendency in this District. When he considered how the greater part of the third Congressional District had been represented by ihe Whigs, and men older and more eminent than himself in the ser vice of than party, labored to build upthe Whig party in this District and place ii on high ground, from which, wiih prudence and the proper spirit of conciliation among its members, it could never fall when he reflected on all this, he declared ha would suffer his right arm to be cut off, before he could consent to the el evation of the Democratic candidate, the Hon. , G. W. Caldwell, ojr wilfully pursue a course which might by pjssitjiliiy engender distrac tion in the Whin ranks, or brini; disaster on the Whig cause. The conserva tism of Whig principles and men would be needed in the next Congress to sustain the pro dent administration of President Fillmore in its zealous and well directed efforts to execute the laws and to stem the current of fanaticism, whether at the Norlh or at the South. Lfet us then be united. His friends would understand that he did not yield to Gen. Dockery, or to any fears or any dictation but he yielded to duty. He concluded his remarks by appealing once more to the Whigs to bury in the deep bosom of the Oceai whatever little differences or animosities may have been created by the late distracled state) of the party, nd to unite as one man in electing the only Whig candi date whom this his,-(Mr. D's) formal withdraw al would leave in the field."

Thus says Mr. Inge. Now read from an old er, more experienced and wiser man, Hon. Wm. R.

The lugi i tive slave bill will be enforced in despiie ol all the efforts of the fanatical wretches of the North to prevent it. Siucjerely do I hope that our Southern people will riot suffer themselves to be hurried into revolutionary measures by dema gogues or political aspirants. Again, the following from old lather Thomas Ritchie, the head of j the Domocralic church he says : This coprornise system has been adopted ; and I earnestly conjure my countrymen to ad here to it.

The farmers of Ohio, as we learn from the Cultivator, are waking up on the subject of Deep Plowing. Numerous! premiums are offered for ! son they say nothin(f implements mat win turn lurrows trom nine to twelve inches in thickness ; and many break the subsoil six inches deeper by running the subsoil plow immediately after the surface plow. Experiments? have demonstrated the utility of stiring the farth to the depth of 18 inches ; and judging from the energy of Amer ican character, we expect to see deep tillage become popular and generally successful. The Legislature of Ohio has done much to promote improvements in agriculture, by appropaiating 89.250 a year for the support of an efficient Ariicultural Society in every county in the Slate. Its Board of Agriculture acts as a working head and the whole machinery is getting into active operation. j The mechanical part of farming needs re form quite as much' as the theoretical ; but while so many arej striving i get to the j root of the matter in! plowing, care should be ! taken not to eitract from-the soil vastly more of the elements of fertility than is replaced there-' in. U;rr HucKeye menus may dig amrscratch and skin their land jin a way that will ren der deep plowing a cjirse instead of a blessing.

It a good deal of the elements of crops are con sumed and wasted, Iqss must remain.

His prophecies of political ruin to his old confederates fall upon the ear and are forgotten. The fierce bugbear which he discovers in the heavens, is r.o thing more than an animalcule begotten in the corrupt humors of his own eye, and invisible to all hut himself. The error of these people is, not so much in showing their resentment, as in overat ing its effects on the destinies of mankind. We hold that every man may lawfully in dulge in an occasional fit of 'virtuous in dignation;' but let him not imagine that he is going to hlow up a granite mountain with a pinch of snuff or move the world from its foundation by the stamping of his loot. It is poor philosophy to expect great results merely bccaur the antece dent is small, though it is sometimes true that small causes are connected with mo mentous events. The three tailors who had a meeting in Tooiey street, London. bd a right to issue their address to the world, but when they began it, ' We. the people of England.' they rather over estimated their impor tance. This comes of ' living in a barrel and looking out at the bung hold,' as Ra i belais describes it. To take a conceit of this kind out of a, man. all that is neces j sary is a little observation, a little com i mon sense, a little modesty. When these we course, we should think Mr. Webster entitled to the respect and confidence d all reasonable men. r Rather Strong.

Jnhn Tilghman who was convicted at the Fall Term of Craven County Superior Court, of the murder of Joseph J. Tilghman, suffered the extreme penalty of the law, on Saturday last at about half ps.st two o'clock. The place of execution was on the Western environs of the Town about half a mile from the County iail. A larjre condourse of people, estimated at between 4 and $000. was on the ground, to wilness the execution. The prisoner seemed duly impressed wit ji the solemnity of the scene through which he jvas about to pass, but met his fate on the whole, with as much fortitude as could have heed expected, and with resigna tion. He made not confession on the gallows, but appeared very j penitent, nd admonished the young men present to take warning from bis fate and resist all temptations to evil deeds. He continued his janmonitions and devotions until the scaffold dropped, and he was launched into eternity, He had been anxious to prepare for his fate for somu days, which he bad of late looked to as inevitable.
