Communications. TOR THE FREE PRESS. To all CImA Y men, wherever to be found, tciihin the juris dictional limits of the State of North Carolina. Whereas it having been made fully appear that the principles of yourllcro are sinking into a modified compromise, in the Senate of the United States, notwithstanding his masterly exertions; and that the same principles arc gaining ground within the limits of this State, as is evident, in the number of strong advocates of the protect ing Tariff of 1323, through his worthy coadjutor Martin Van I3uren: Know ye, that to the end of concentrating your prin ciples, into a just and equitable force, you and each of you as semble at some convenient place, to be appointed by your selves, to suit your conveniency say at any public building or even under the cool spread shade of some venerable oau or wide extended beach, and that you there and then deliberate upon the propriety of forming a ticket, for your worthy and un deviating friends of the Tariff: HENRY CLAY, For the Presidency MARTIN VAN BUREN, For the Vice Presidency. And you are furthermore com manded to draw up a set of re solutions at each of your meet ings, founded upon the princi ples of those worthy patriots and strong friends of the pro tecting interest: this you should do in the name of and for the benefit of your principles, that a class of men now ranmn the country at large, under the in jlatcd name of true friends of JV.., i uucusvn, may Know mat you will not have your true princi ples of Clayism filched from you; prove to them and the world from his various votes that Van Buren is one of the strong pillars which supports the protecting interest and no half way man, as these true friends will have it, or one who supported your principles mere ly to please his Albany friends. Though it must be admitted, that he fully exercised the licen sed privilege of politicians of the present time, of acting ra ther Protean, by holding up anti-TurifF expressions in pri vate conversations, to anti-Tariff men, which compelled him to resort to his Albany speech, to allay suspicion in "his Albany friends; yet you must pass that over, and view his acts them selves, and these true principles of the inward man, as displayed by the great shepherd, when he avowed to his Albany friends "that his interest was identified with theirs, that he had 10,000 sheep to be protected by the Tariff, then why should you dis trust me." And you are fur thermore commanded, not to relax in your exertions in favor of Mnrtin Van Buren, as a man true to the Southern interest, or Tariff principles, for the pro tecting principle you all know has been a long time since pro ven as such by Clay, Webster, Adams, and a host of other worthies. You must treat as subterfuges, all assertions that Barbour is the man most suita ble for and most popular in North Carolina, notwithstand ing fifteen of her presses have declared themselves for him, and only five for Van Buren v an Buren is still the strongest man, for the Baltimore Con vention has fixed him so, and you should have one resolution at least passed returning your thanks to that august asscm blage, for bringing forward so worlhv a nersonaue one so suitable to brace up your into rest now sinking express your approbation fully of the ingeni ous mode in which this Balti more Convention could make five votes from North Carolina, from as many counties or cap tains' districts, express the will of the whole State, by giving fifteen votes in said Convention. Treat as negative testimony those men who may endeavor to palm on you that the public presses are either governed by public sentiment, or govern it. If the true friends of Jackson are determined to hold on to him, think none the less of him on that account, for pure gold will nass for its value though counted out with coppers and though these true friends may endeavor to pass him for what he is not, know ye that "a rose by any other name will smell as sweet."

Before this resolution was acted on, it was suggested that in consequence of the extreme age of Mr. Macon, and his sup posed unwillingness to re enter the arena of political strife, it might bo better to substitute some other gentleman in his place. The delegates from Warren (the friends and neigh bors of Mr. Macon) assured the Convention, that that venerable man most cordially concurred in the selection of Andrew Jack son for President and Martin Van Buren for Vice President. In suggesting the substitution of some other person for Elector m place of Mr. Macon, it was distinctly avowed that it result ed only from an unwillingness on the part of the Convention to disturb the repose of age, and a reluctance to ask further public service at the hands of this wclbtried-and-always-truc political veteran.
