The Statesmen of the Adminis tration party in Congress, who deserted us in the hour of trial, are all taken into the .arms oftheopposiiion "as one of THEM." With them opposition to the Independent Treasury, is advocacy of a Bank. They see it and know it to ba so. So we should perceive, that to uphold and support the ''independent Treasury" is to be "one of US;" for ihat "great measure oi deliver ance and liberty," involves every other, and it is time for all men who agree in their principles to unite in their action. - W.

JOHN F. SPEIGH T, Sec'ry. SATURDAY, J ANITA K V 26, 1S39. Suicide. AVe learn ihat on Saturday night last, Mr. Richard Carson, of Pitt county, committed suicide, under very pe culiar circumstances. He was at a house a short distance from his residence, where a number of persons were frolicking -he call ed for a rope, as was supposed for dancing, but he threw one end over the beams, fast ened the other to his neck, and drew up his feet; although taken down directly, he was lifeless. Mr. Carson was a man of some property, had a wife anil several children, but unhappily was somewhat addicted to frolicking and intemperance. Wilmington Rail Road. We extract the following from the last Wilmington Advertiser: Already have the efforts of the 'Wilming ton and Raleigh Rail Road Company estab lished the hum of business in a part of the town, whore two years ago "the cypress drooped and desolation brooded and all (jpWc invite attention to the Resolu tions adopted by the Republican members of the last General Assembly. They con tain an admirable exposition of the leading principles and views of the two great po litical parties of the country, and cannot fail to prove an unerring guide to all true Republicans in their advocacy of "men and tvould forever be proud. He harped upon the right of instruction, and "insisted that it required no words to convey instruction to the instructed. It is useless to Stop to expose the incon sistency and insincerity of this position; for every one must recollect that Mr. Clay, when he coalesced with Mr. Adams and carried the Kentucky vote against Jackson, disohcyed and scorned his direct and posi tive instructions. He has often since, when it suited his purpose, repudiated and scouted the doctrine of instruction. Mr. Clay was content with upbraiding his compeers with a dereliction of duty. He swerved from the tone and bearing of a gentleman, when he offered the petty indignity to bis oppo nents of instituting what he intended as a comparison between their position and that of his " man Charles" Mr. Clay's own friends, 1 can assure you, blushed for him. The impassioned and eloquent rebuke which he got from Mr. Brown, and the dignified, but stern notice bestowed upon him by Mr. Strange, he will long remem ber, and I trust, with nrotit. JMr. lirown ploughed pretty deeply into his manifold political errors and intrigues, and laid be fore the Senate and the crowded and listen ing galleries a picture of political iniquity that would not serve to adorn the Presiden tial Mansion. Mr. Strange's manner, was more calm, but not less effectual was his rejoinder, lie always speaks in a dignified and senatorial manner, and is as much listened to and as much respected a any member of that body. To his political opponents he has uniformly extended that courtesy and comi ty, in debate, which distinguished JMr. Van Buren and Mr. Macon, and is the characteristic of every true republican. U hy Judge Strange should therefore have been visited by the impertinence of the Kentucky orator, no earthly reason can be given. As to the course pursued on this occa sion by the Senators from North Carolina, it is useless for me to say a word. Their reasons for not considering the resolutions as mandatory but merely as advisory, are now before their constituents and the pub ic. I hey are reasons which willabidc any test, and there is no doubt that they will be supported in their views by the people at the next elections. They could not have considered the resolutions as mandatory and left their scats, without abandoning the doctrine of instruction under which they acted in the expunging measure, and ena bling a temporary majority to resist and misrepresent the will of the people of North Carolina.

A Resolution has been pro posed by Mr. Cusluuan, disqualifying all persons from ever holding any public of fice, who may be in any manner engaged in a duel, or challenge, either as principal or second.

Sir : You have no doubt seen something in the newspapers respecting the presenta tion by Mr. Brown of the extraordinary Resolutions of the North Carolina Legisla ture on the subject of the Expunging Act, the Sub- Treasury, and the Public Lands. Of course, the partizan press has been very busy in presenting to the public garbled and partial versions of the alfair, with a view to serve their hero, the Kentucky candidate for the Presidency, from the dis grace and discomfiture which he met with on this occasion. It was to say the least of it, highly indecorous for a man standing in the relation that Mr. Clay does to the public, as a candidate for the Presidency, as the champion of the opposition, and as the author of the resolution condemnatory of General Jackson, to interfere at all in this matter. Messrs. Brown and Strange, in offering their views upon the resolutions of the Legislature, were addressing the Legislature and the people of North Caro lina. This was the usual and proper, and the most respectful mode that could be em ployed by them for placing before their constituents the motives that would govern their action on this occasion. It was dis tinctly a matter between them and their constituents. No subject was presented by them for the action of the Senate. 1 here was, therefore, no proper occasion for the interposition of Mr. Clay. It was a gra tuitous piece of insolence, and it was con sidered and chastised as such. Mr. Clay, with all his great powers and his great suc cess, lacks one quality of a great man. I mean magnanimity. He cannot rise above the little personal piques and party jeal ousies of the hour. He interposed, in this matter, probably with a view to aim a blow at the Expunging Resolution which 33 We learn tnat tnc Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road Company have just pur chased for SIS, 000, a wharf in Charleston, on Cooper river, at the foot of Laurens Street. This wharf h s a water fornt of 203 feet, and runs back 215 feet. The purchase i3 said to be highly eligible, and will save the Company S500 per annum. As the Enquirer says, Nous V zrrons. ib. Sudden Death. We are here called upon to record the sudden and violent death of Mr. John Thally, of this neigh borhood. Mr. Thally went a few days since, to a place where he had some hands employed in felling trees. One of the trees, in failing, swung around with great violence and velocity, and coming in con tact with Mr. Thally'shead spattered his brains and broken bones upon the earth and surrounding objects. Thus, in the twink ling of an eye, hath the breath of a man's nostrils been stopped, and his soul hurried into the presence of a terrible God. Truly, "life is a vain shadow." ib.
