THK GREAT WHIG GULL TR VP IX NORTH CAROLINA. I he hi srs know how to hamper tn,U, hey set their traps so cunning for 'em, lit to escape needs stronajer skulls than those cajoled by "apple jore?n." "Free schools," ah, ha, that great u;ulltrap Has "cotoh'd" alas! a host of f-Ts; Fhc -huge paws" ween that "artcrcrnp" Their "boys" can go to those "Free schools." Well, that's all right, none will deny, Hut what the "hoy.s" should go to school, And "lam" to read and to descry The difference 'tween a knave and fool. But Whig have so devised the matter, I he matter must rest at least a year; When legislative clash and clatter May bid the "schools" to non-appear. Mordecai in the Gate. From the Globe. MR. CLAY AND ABOLITION. The Whig papers of the South arc puf fing, with simultaneous blast, a letter of Mr. Clay to a Committee of Whigs of Nan semond county, Virginia, who had sent him a resolution, declaring "that the gal lant stand of the SouthcriWhig members of the late Congress of the United States, and particularly the efforts of Messrs. Clay, of the Senate, Stanly of North Carolina, Prentiss of Mississippi, and Wise of Vir ginia, of the House of Representatives, to expose and check the fell demon of Aboli tion, entitle him to the cordial thanks and gratitude of the friends of peaee and good order thoughout the whole Southern coun try." We pass over the singularly chaste and elegant phrase of "exposing and check ing a fell demon," as a mere verbal matter, and proceed to the substance. The Committee of Nansemond county, it seems, confine their praises to the South ern Whigs, and very justly, because it is well known that those of the North uni formly vote with the Abolitionists. But where, we ask, is the peculiar merit of Southern members of congress in sustain ing the rights and property of themselves and their constituents.'' 1 his is too natural to make it a subject of emphatic commend dation, and it reallyT seems to us that com mon sense and gratitude would not forget the services of Mr. A thcrton and the Re publicans tf the North, who sustain the South, on this vital question, irom disinter ested principle, and at the risk of losing the support of a large portion of their condim ents. c find it a little hard to imagine what the Whigs of Nansemond ihou'd find so commendable in the course of the puny ranter Stanly, who stood up before the whole House to be prompted by the notori ous Abolitionist, Slade. As to the brawl ers, Wise and Prentiss, they have too little character, nense, or discretion, to promote any cause; and the course of the former on this question nas been any ining out lavor- able to Southern rights. We make no comments on the Nansemond letter, whose contemptible style and sentiments are be neath criticism. Mr. Clay's reply is, as usual, pompous and flashy: full of high-sounding senti ments, which are mere empty phrases. We will not dwell upon certain equivocal expressions, such as "ultra Abolitionists," and the duty of confining themselves to "moral persuasion," leit we should be deemed hypercritical. It is not a little curious that the Northern papers contain, about the same time, an ad dress of the abplitionists of Rochester to Mr. Clay in which, while they compliment him as highly as the Whigs of Nansemond, or their idol, Mr. Leigh, they appeal affee tionately to his conscience, and send him a variety of tracts, with the hope of con verting him at the eleventh hour, if, like certain ladies, he is not already anxious, or at least, willing to be persuaded. We hope their venerable pupil will profit b the persual of "American Slavery as it is," "Thome and Kimball's West Indies," the "Constitution of the American Anti-slavery Society,' and the "Declaration of senti ments," with the last number of the Roch ester Freemanj with which he was presen ted by these philanthropic gentlemen, who, after fulsome compliments, express them selves thust the close: "Requesting your searching and unbiassed attention to these publications, at your earliest convenience, we beg leave t O assu re you of our cordial good wishes for your full and everlasting enjoy ment of all the blessings laid up for such as devote themselves to the practical assertion and support of truth, justice, and humani ty How tender and affectionate! Proba- recomfte County, A". V) Saturday, September 7, 1839 k I .-r L "NT . y me iansemond and Rochester letters! Camp ntn amlnJ 1 . i , . "icaoie contact in the breech- " Pocuet ol their illustrious recipient. What an interesting instance of "comprom ise and conciliation" is furnished by this black and white amalgamation! Truly the man who can thus reconcile and anal Smale the Whigs of Nansemond with the Abolitionists of Rochester, deserves the ti tle of the "Great Pacificator." Poor Mr. Clay!! There never was a man, as the Charleston Mercury observes, who tried so hard to be cunning, and with so little success. He has all the memness of duplicity without the skill. He hoped to be able to please both parties, by run ning with the hare. Accordingly at a late period he made his celebrated anti-Abolition speech, but not until after he had read u to a caucus, as hisleakv friend Preston ion I' ' u i v ? s eiieciupon i ne PUbl CmilU T)l5intfrcs;tort ivitr ntl IT ti h-wi u t , " , n 4. r ' MhCrbC r'Sht, h.a" President," why I umuu; ii caucus ui ins incnus in advance to judge of the effect of his speech? u .. ii i f -i .i i i . . He hugged himself with the idea, that the Ab olitionists were already irrevocably com mitted in his favor, and that, therefore, he might flatter the South with safety. lie trusted also to the management of his friends, and the fervor of parly spirit. As a last resort, he makes a descent upon the very infected district, and is led about and lionized by the notorious Abolitionist, Gran ger. He. thought that nobody could resist he charm of his presence; that if, like the coquette in the poem, some frailties fell to his share, he had but to show himself, and the offended Abolitionists would ex claim, with raptured admiration, "Look on his face, and you forget them all." But in these fine-spun calculations, he is likely to be disappointed. You cannot rule masses of men by such flimsy contri vances and transparent expedients. We are informed that, after all, the fanatics will support no man for the Presidency or any other office, who is not in favor of the im mediate abolition of slavery. We suppose they are to run a separate ticket, unless, indeed, their Lieutenant Governor Bradish can cajole them into the further support of the Whig cause, with w hich they are nalurally affiliated. But it is hard to re tain, at the same time, the support of the whigs of Nansemond and the Abolitionists of Rochester. Mr. Clay has tried in turn the Antimasons, Native Americans (so called) and Abolitionists. If these fail him, we would commend him, as a last re sort, to the Mormons. Man Worship. Among the most dis gusting movements of the Federalists with Mr. Clay, is their taking out the horses from his carriage in the streets of Saratoga, (N.Y.) and harnessing themselves like cat tle in the traces, to drag him up to the door oT the hotel, where he made his election eering speech. Such things should never disgrace the land of freemen they arc borrowed from the despotic governments on the other side of the Atlantic. To cup the climax of this disgusting man worship, it was arranged that some of the wives of the aristocracy should place a crown of roses upon his bead, after he had finished his address. Yes, even the pageantry of a coronation scene 1 1 1 ins was loo mucn lor the sagacity of Mr. Clay to brook he knew the honest democracy of the country would turn against him. He therefore af ter wearing the crown a few minutes, in imitation of Caesar, gracefully removed the kingly emblem from his brow. But it shows of what materials the Federal party is composed they would turn our plain republic into a gorgeous monarchy in a mo ment, if they could but have their way. Columbian (Con.) Beg. Admission of Florida. The question of the admission of Florida is now destined to come before the next Congress. Con trary to all calculations, her Constitution has been adopted by a majority of her peo ple. The SL Augustine Herald of the 15th, publishes the full returns of the vote from which itappearsj that the Constitu tion has been adopted, by a majority of 2070 to 1975 majority 95. I he returns have been duly certified by Gov. Call, and forwarded to the President of the Conven tion, who is authorized to make official proclamation of the result. Rich. Eng. Pennsylvania State Loan. The Har risburg Reporter of Friday states that no offer was made for the Pennsylvania State Loan of two millions and fifty-fotir thou sand dollars, authorized by an act of the last Legislature, and for which proposals were receivable until that day. An Impostor. & reddish looking nc rro went to New Lisbon last week, lied a Selt around his body, called himself a con verted Indian, and got an opportunity to preach in one of the churches.

Sales of Morns Mullicaulis. The Rcv'd Jesse S. Armislead of Buckingham county has sold 500,000 buds of the Mo ras Multicaulis, to be delivered this fall, at two cents a bud. Mr. John Morris of the same county has sold 300,000 buds in lots of 100,000. Capt Saml. Branch of Campbell has also sold 1 10,000 buds at the same price a good many smaller sales have been effected in the former county at! the same price, viz: four cents a cutting or two cents a bud. Mr. CharlcsTA. Scott of Buckingham has, we understand, been of fered eleven cents a tree for 300,000 trees, delivered in the fall of 1S40. J Richmond Compiler. Prices Current. Cocoons, $2 50 to $5 per bushel; the demand exceeding the supply. JSilk worm eggs 10 dollars per ounce ofj clear eggs. American reeled silk, 5 dollars and fifty cents per pound. Brooks's Reel for reeling and twisting silk, 35 to 40 dollars. Dennis's reel, about 30 dollars. Gay's complete silk machinery, 400 dollars. Cheney's Reel, 6 dollars. Piedmontese or Italian Reel, 15 dollars. There is a cash market in this city for all the raw silk that can be produced: the supply is far short of the demand, and it commands a higher price than any of the foreign article. Silk Farmer. "Coming events cast their shadows before." The American Missionaries at Ceylon have been obliged, il is said, to dis msss six thousand children from their schools, for want of funds. We iook up on this as satisfactory evidence that the American people are beginning to be ra tional; and that reform is commencing in the right quarter at hom. There are heathen enough in this country to civilize, to employ all the benevolent exertions that may be produced lor the next fifty7 years. Investigator. Price of grain South. The Greenville S. C. Mountaineer of the 16th instant, states that a few days previous a wagon load of pr.me wheat was purchased in East Tennessee at 37 cents per bushel, and the gentleman who purchased it said that if be had gone a few miles farther he could have had it at 25 ets per bushel. The same in formant says that in lhat section of country, the farmers offer to engage corn, when it is harvested, at from 12i to ISi cents per bushel. Large Claim. On Saturday, 12th inst. a Deed was shown us, dated several years before the Treaty of William Penn with the Indians. The Deed secures many thou sand acres of land in Jersey to the holder of it and his heirs. A few days ago one of the heirs ascertained that this Deed was in possession of an individual who, at the conflagiation of the Recorder's office fifty years ago, probably saved and retained it. The heir immediately called upon him, de manded and obtained it. Suits, we under dcrstand will shortly be instituted for this land by the claimant, who is a shoemaker by profession. Several counties in the State of New Jersey are included in this claim. Philadelphia Ledger. (JA circumstance occurred in New York some days since which occasioned considerable excitement. A child about five yeais old was seen to enter a house iq Eli zabeth street. The mother of the child having been informed of the fact, enquired at the house for it, but was denied entrance, and informed that the child was not there. After various ineffectual attempts to get the child, the police officers were sent for, the house forcibly entered and the child wbs found dead, and enclosed in a rough vine box.

A man named Samuel Drew, while digging a well lately near Ypsilanti Mich, struck a vein of quicksand, and was partially buried.

The man was speech less from the gas. wh'jn pure air Was pump od into the well by a tire engine, which, in a few mmutes enabled him to give di rcctions for his release, which Was effected. Jamaica. We make extracts from tho I.itely received Jamaica papers showing the effect of the Abolition act in Jamaica. The result will, doubtless, be the abandon ment of the Island to the blacks, as in the case of St. Domingo. It will not dimin ish slavery, but must increase its severi ties, by exchanging the gradually ameli orating condition of the African race, un der white masters, to its original horrors under black ones. Globe. A queer Sermon. Every numljcr of' the Sunday Morning Visiter (published in iev lork,) contains a sermon; butwheth er the preacher is a Christian, a Turk, or a Nothingarian, remains uncertain. He takes his text where he can find it. His last sermon is founded on a stanzas of Doctor Gritl lay, who died some years ago. When a few more years are wasted, When a few more springs are o'er, When a few more griefs I've tasted, I shall fall to bloom no more." And moralizingthereupon,he urgesparenls to take special care of their children; to keep their sons from writing poetry till they can read the Testament; to give them, a flogging when they need it, and let them e;o a fishing occasionally. As to daughters, ne ininKs tney snouia be disposed ot in the matrimonial market as early as conve venient, because "soon after they are five- and-twenty, they 'fall to bloom no mOre, ,, and he adds, with great emphasis, ''paint, gum, whalebone, hogs bristles and false hair, don't make a lovely girl of sixteen out of an old maid, by tw'O-and-sixpence worth. Exeter News Let, 03 A patent has been secured in France for sewing boots and shoes with brass wire. It is said that they do not admit moisture nor dust, nor do they rip when sewed in this manner. The sewing is done, with as much ease as with a wax thread, nor is it more expensive. (3 A steamboat, 145 feet long by 25 ft wide, is now building at Pittsburgh, en tirely of Iron. Pumpkin Sugar. It is stated on good authority, that an important revolution is about occurring in France in regard to the manufacture of sugar; and that a large cap italist is about erecting an extensive estab lishment for the manufacture of sugar from pumpkins, experiments having shown con clusively that it may be obtained from thirf vegetable in abundance, and of a superior quality. The greatest Musquilo Story yet. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Stin writes concerning the musquitoes of Michigan, that a man living near Grand River, being in the woods, was exceedingly annoyed by the musquitoes, and took shelter under an inverted potash kettle. His first emo tions of joy for his happy deliverance and secure asylum, were hardly over, when the musquitoes, having scented him, began to drive their probosces through the kettle; fortunately he had a hammer in his pocket, 3nd he clinched them down as fast as they came through, until at last such a host of them was fastened to the poor man's dom--icil that they rose and flew away with it leaving him shelterless.
