1 Wl i 1 1 TO THE PESTILENCE. Thy shadow darkens round us, f Thy form is in the air, Thy fatal voice hath found us. Thy banquet will be rare! A sudden fear hath bound u We know thee and despair. Thy gloomy wing is flapping, Impatient for thy prey, Thy breath o'er all is wrapping r A shroud of sad decay; The sullen grave is gaping Thine eye doth light the way. Avenging messenger! When will thy course be run? Whom hast thou marked? Art near To me, relentless one? When will thy dread career, Of punishment be done? The glowing south, the icy north, The vale, the desert bare, The city, and the mountain cor, Thou visit'st every where The mosque, the idol temple, and The Christian's place of prayer. Thou hast swept in all thy terror, The regions of the cast; Tho hast bid the mighty wither! The loftiest and the least; The brave, the foul, the beautiful, Alike have been thy feast. The patriot, the tyrant, Lord, vassal, friend, and foe: The victor's arm hath sunk beside The victim it laid low; The hosts that met for mortal strife, Have fallen without a blow. Before thee thou hast cast thy shade, A frightful chill it hath; One moment is the storm delayed, I he next it comes in wrath: "en napless. " - Am' itir. Calhoun, and uie legal odhfircnts of the fallen house of Quincy." Is Civcs in earnest, or does lie merely "puff to win a vulgar station" under the expected reign of the Great Magician! The stylo of this writer, on any subject, which did not affect our vital interests, might perhaps be amusing to the careless and unconcerned; but on subjects of grave import, I think he skims the political horizon not unlike the gay swal low, that soars aloft in playful mood, regardless of the breeze which impelled him out of his latitude. It is singular, that the friends of Mr. Barbour are made to be the enemies of Gen. Jackson, when the fact is notorious, that in all the public meetings of the advocates of Mr. Barbour, resolutions have been universally introduced and adopted, favoring the re-electio ' of the present Executive. distant be the day, Civ;Greene, any portion of the cd Carteret, this Republic, shhgressional dis of the privilp,a:" daled lth ult for tkiiow citizens, I am as much the friend of internal im provement as any man, but 1 happen to be one of those who believe that no government has the moral right to tax any man against his will to make u road or canal. My political creed is this: Let the government take no more money from the people than its immediate wants re quire. Let it remain in their pockets, and if they want roads and canals, let them make them. Now, I cannot omit to express my surprise at the idea whicji prevails in the country. It is thought that as this government has a quantity of money over and above itiT immediate wants, that it is right that it should omke disbursements throughout the country for internal im provements: but do you not know that this money does not come into the public coffers by mere chance, and that in fact and in truth it comes out of your pockets, and that so long as you sanction the wild and profligate expenditures of mo ney, so long you indirectly sup port the tariff. The tariff and internal improvements are inse parably connected, and he who is an advocate for internal im provement, by the General Go- vernment, is of necessity a however, states that a mulatto friend to the tariff. The tariffjman, who had married her sis- is uie engine which is used to rob you of at least half vour cot ton, rice and tobacco, and the plausible scheme of internal improvements is the dose of opium winch is to lull you asleep to your rights and liber ties, and as a kind of sudorific taken in the form of a bolus, is to sweeten down all opposition to the damnable system. As I have lived long enough to know there is no more friendship in politics than in war, and not be ing very anxious for political distinction, I shall again repeat my political creed in relation to internal improvements, and at tlic same time shall lav down the course I intend in future to pursue. I have not the least shallow of doubt in relation to the constitutional powers of this government over objects of in ternal improvements strictly na tional in their character. But as the word "national," in the minds of some conveys a dubi ous import, I shall undertake to define its true meaning, so far at least as may be satisfactory to myself, and to convey my own meaning. I think such wnrfcs as the improvements at cock, Old RoanopulM ?cra the Brcnfcn- -cf.Iet, and ni i ..uwuier ui jie iiiouiii oi -uiaware I5av. are strict v nn- ional in their character. And e 1 at any time called on to ing, iui u ii appropriation ior works, I should do it un- came tingly.

I have gU.ie this once very reluctantly, because on the completion of the improvements at Ocracock, I think in a great degree de pends the future prosperity of the fetate. Hereafter, and so long as I shall remain in Con gress, I shall feel it my duty to lose no opportunity to obtain the necessary appropriations for the carrying on this work, and provided I can abstract it from its worthless associates, 1 will most cheerfully vote for it; but 1 am compelled to say, if it should again be found in such compa ny as heretofore, I must reluct antly abandon it. 1 hope I am understood. I know that no man I represent is base enough to desire me to doJ an act for which my own conscience, and that of no honest man would sanction as right or just. I can not enter into the barefaced combinations and log rolling schemes which are daily prac ticed at Washington to get mo ney, however desirable the ob ject may be for which it is to be obtained. Horrid Murder. The wife of Jonathan Dalton, of Mont gomery's Cove, in Rutherford county, was committed to jail in Rutherfordton, on Wednesday last, charged with shooting her husband, while asleep, on the morning of the previous day. The evidence against her, we are told, is entirely circumstan tial, as no person is known to have been in the house when the deed was perpetrated, ex ccpt herself nd 'husband.. ShelSW ' ZLXlT ter, came to the house during the night, and that he endeavor ed to persuade her to leave her husband and go home with him; that she went out of the house early in the morning and left them both within, when she soon heard the discharge of a gun, and without entering the house fled to the neighbors for aid saying that a mulatto man had killed her husband. Her tale is by no means consistent. She had been married to him but three or four months, and we are told, that they had not lived together for a considera ble portion of the time, and that she had positively declared that she never would live with him. We must forbear to state the circumstances relative to this transaction which have come to us, as they might serve to nre- judicc her trial, which will pro bably take place in October next. Dalton, we are inform ed, was dead before any of his. neighbors arrived. Susnicirjr falls on another person jj jja ing been an nccnir. ' ..; jt tid Ruthcr. Spec. Mela n cholij A ceiden t. Yes terday about noon, our ears were assailed with cries of dis tress from the family of Mr. Walter B. Rutherford of this town, caused by the sudden and unexpected death of their eldest son Alexander, aged about 13 years. The particulars as we are informed arc that while ri ding on the arm to which the horse is attached near the shaft, by some means or other his arm was caught and together with his head passed between the cog wheel and the wallower of the threshing machine, just erected by Mr. Rutherford, by which his skull was broken and his arm terribly lacerated which caused instant death. ib. Very Singular. We see it noticed in one of the Western papers, as a curious circum stance, that every blade on a stalk of oats of this year's growth had on it the letter B. We had the curiosity to exam ine several and found it to be true. The paper to which we had reference, eays that this freak of nature had created some alarm, inasmuch as the knowing ones had found out that the letter was the initial of Blood, or Black Hawk.
