Which of her sister States was before her in the great contest for re demp'iou and independence from British thraldom Mr, no peopie, ancicm -dern, ever exhibited more highly the no ble qualities of lofty daring and self-abandoning devotion to the cause of justice and liberty, than this State in oar Revolution. Not with encouragement of multitudes not with the cheering voice of acclama tion and approval by her sister States; but lonc, with her borders filled with traitors i i ..j .f iK flritih name. ana arounu uie imuis lier people assembled together at Meck lenburg, and first broke the yoke of de pendency which made them the subjects of a king; and well at the council board and in the tented field, did they maintain ihe position they had thus proudly assunv ed. How should such a people be den ted? Were it but for this one deed, in all time shall she be remembered and honor ed. No, sir! North Carolina is neither despised by Virginia nor South Carolina. She is respected by every free State, & ev ery free man in this extended Union. Hut I will tell the gentleman from North Caro Jina, that nothing is so well calculated to bring upon his Slate the contempt he sup poses to exist, as the self abating altitude he has gratuitously assumed for her. Self es teem is half the esteem of others; and noth ing great or glorious was ever achieved hy a people taught to suspect or acknowledge inferiority. Instead of irmgining con tempt for his State in others, lei him repre sent her principles and her interests truly, and serve her as she deserves. From Souih Carolina, at least, no retort will be made on a sister State tor the imputations 01 any he irpoke of the venerable Macon 4 man whose whole oolitical life was a bright exemplification of the mighty prccof na ked honesty. Why to avcwin . u milv cast down his fra- JOC, IIIU31 IIC n Unitv with the south, but, with unhallow ed hands, nut out every light in his native State which has burned on the altars ol lib- the Revolution. Mr. Chairman, 1 heard with gratification the encomiums of the gentleman on our northern States. The wealth, energy, and enterprise burdening their rivers, crown inr their waerfalls,and gathering into their towns and villages the hum ol millions, w here latterly the voices of birds only were heard. Hot, whilst looking over these scenes of luxuriant beautiful prosperity, and trarinu- it. as he did, to the legisla tion of this Government, did he not think of North Carolina, her abandoned wastes, her premature decrcpiiude, whilst yet in tbe youth of national existence ? No, sir. Then 1 envy not the ft clings of the gentle man from North Carolina. No matter what the cause, the desolation which haunts the spot of our childhood, or which broods over our native lard, will hang ever a cloud over a mind of any generosity; and, whether gazing on kindred ruins, or the brilliant contrast which this rising and bursting prosperity of other Slates present, the heart will stilf turn to the land of our nativity our home. 1, too, have flown over the rivers and railroads of our north ern States, on the firry wings of steam and fi'tt mv snirits risp. as looking around Oil in a few weeks Congress will get through with all the business that can come before it; and indeed, this will be an event de voutly to be wished for by the good citizens of Washington. We look forward to the adjournment of Congress as a means of get ling rid of the swarm of office seekers that infests the District. With the exception of North Carolina, and to her honor be it re corded, every State and Territory in the Union has at least 100 Representatives here, over and abova their Congressional supply watching the public crib. Disap pointed in obtaining offices, many are now employed in hawking about trinkets, ptc tures, &.c. waiting, I suppose, for the mov ing of the waters. have been written tSport, and a prosecution is about to be commenced against those persons who have, by this act, violated the post office laws. A Difficulty. A letter from the Wash ington correspondent of a New York pa per states that Mr. Tyler finds it impossi ble to perform all the promises made by (Jen. Harrison, to give offices to particular individuals, for the rush upon the old gen tleman was so great that it was impossible for him to remember all he said, and tie sometimes promised the same office to two and three persons. Charleston Mefcury. (fT!! is stated in Washington that 130 Postmasters are removed weekly by Post master General Granger, on account of their political sentiments. Hut this is not all.

It is said that negotiations" between the robber of the Frederick count Hank, Maryland, now in New York, and the Direciorsof that Institution, have re sulted in the recovery of the whole of the stolen money minus $10,000 in gold which he retains as his reward. The "ne gotiation," it is al.-so said, was carried on thro' an 'attorney' in New York. Singular enough, all this.

Can the name or fame of any of the old thirteen, be touched by the breath which taints this hall? Who sup posts it? Not one. And Virginia good old Virginia she, too, with South Carolina, is arraigned for her imputed arrogance and insolence, and her senseless poli y. Sir, how can a south ern man find it in his heart to speak dis paragingly of this great and glorious com monwealth? the standard-bearer of our revolution the mighty mother of States and statesmen the munificent donor of five Presidents to the confederacy the de liverer of the constitution in 1601, when at its last gasp from the murderous hands of federalism; and she to be twitted and sneered at, for the very policy which makes her glory and fame. Had it not been for the intervention of Virginia in 1798 and 1799, this gorgeous pile would never have been created. The voice of free debate and of censure would alike here have been hushed, and the throes of revolu tions, or the dread stillness of despotism would'have brooded over this fair land. Let the gentleman, then, rail at Virginia. She has secured to him the mighty privilege of speaking freely against herstlfby crush ing the sedition laws, and planting the Standard of republicanism on the battle ments of the constitution; and beside that glorious standard, fearless and free, she still stands.

(QWc invite ihe attention of the "Re- publican pottion" of the Whig patty, to tme exhibit in the late Presidential contest! j ,he admirable exposition, given in the pre There she stood, elevated by past U'.cds, ceding column, of the amidst the gnzeof her sister Sbtc, and thv ?oirse of Mr, Stanly, the Repi uprising tumult uf millions, with the bal-: in Conercss from this dMiict. ance of the constitution in her 1 nanus ntr sons & her pride in ihc one scale, and prin ciples in the other. Thai shout tells the ap plause of an admiring people, for her honor unstained, her faith maintained, and the un dying principles of liberty which yet play! with a gorgeous halo around her brows. Arid as it is now, whilst the air is yet fill ed with the echoes of acclamation, and here, on southern ground, from the South, lhat rebuke and imputation is cast against the Old Dominion, for preferring southern prin tings to her nridc and self love, r. fleeted in the elevation of her sons? Sir, let us venerate devotion to principles wherever it is found, even though opposed to our views of policy. Republics are not endan gered so much from erroneous principles as from no principle at all. Let us honor vir tue in Stales, no mat'er what the deed, or what the effect, as the most difficult and sublimest manifestation of which our na ture is capable; and if we must censure and blame, look at the old tyrannies and oppressions which blur the sights, and cover the earth as with a mantle of dark ness. But, for Virginia, let us love and defend her fame, as the common, free in heritance of every citzen in the Union, which neither time nor malice can impair. If the gentleman from North Carolina is wearied with his position in the Sou h, and is determined, as he says he is, to cut loose from Virginia & South Carolina, can he not go with quietude and dignity, wit hout clamor or vituperation towards thoe Stales of the South he has resolved to abandon? And, when he has carried the good old North State from her ancient moot inars on republican southern ground, where will he anchor her? Behind Massachusetts, tht re to thunder back the Cheers of Hartford con ventionists, raised from the dead by the Ijte elections? if such are his designs, I un derstand the vi;5.of contempt with which nnli-irpublicar. prcsentathe ir .1 cress lrom this Uhuici. n mev still can retain ''confidence in his republi canism," after witnessing his slavish devo tion to the ''Federal poriion" of the Whig patty, in defiance of the best and dearest interests of the section of country in wh'ch he resides, as well as his immediate con stituents, then indeed hove they lost sight of every thing dear to freemen.
