Which glow within the kindling heart,
And, star'-"like, Iremhle there,
Like earthly miwfers-, alas! too-soon

We ever fondly cherish.

And smile or weep before us.

Wealth sought the Bowr of beauty;
Dress'd like a mdderri beau;
Just then, Love, Health and Duty
Took up their" hats- to gd.
Wealth such a cordial welcome met.
As made the others grieve,
So Duty shun'd the gay coquette.
Love, pouting, took French leave

He laid his hand 6n Beauty,
And left her. in despair.

Can never hope fur Love

THfe LETTER!
Calls are rritilllplying upon us, like Peii
bn upon Ossa, for Mr. Van Btiren's letter,
to which we have again recently alluded.
Since our last paper. We have been iiivoked
by the Petersburg Intelligencer, the Nor
folk Herald, the Washington Spectator;
the Fredericksburg Arena, &c, &c. It is
in vain that we tell these and other EdU
tors, that we have long since published the
substance of the letter that we have even
published the gist of it, verba tint ei litera

terest Several morlths ago, as it does now
that the Whigs" of the Slate of N. Y. at
tempted to make capital of It in their elec
tion for Members of Congress arid that i
formed a distinct feature in one of the
Whig Circular Addresses which was issued
from the Head Quarters in the city of N
Yoik. Nothing will satisfy the hue arid
Cry of the public press, bat the letter itself.
One portion of the press demands it, from
tn impression that Mr. Van Buren has
gone too far against the tariff; another por
tion desires to have it, under the hope that
he has not gone faV enough. Both sides
are threatening td draw Unfavorable infer
ences from our silence and both sides are
hoping to make some capital against the
Little Magician --Some of the Editors are
beginning to suspect there is no such letter
in existence and others are insinuating a
charge of forgery against ourselves.
They cry out for 'The Letter The Let-ter'-.with
almost as much fury, as Oihello
demanded the handkerchief of poor Desde
rnona. "The handkerchief,
There's made in the web of it."
Fortunately for us, we are better off

kerchief was stolen from her by the mach
inations of lago - but the letter is now be
fore us
We have had amusement enbugh out of
the matter. We have sufficiently tantali
zed.ihe curiosity of the pack, and the letter
itself must at last see the light. We are,
sorry, that it is so laconic however signifi
cant it may be. It goes the whole agiinst
the present Tariff law. It is literally Mul
tum n parvo but the clamorous yelp
ers, from the National Intelligencer down
to the lowest Tray of the Whig pick, have
forgotten the extract we have long since
made from it and that extract is really
the gist of 'the Letter! the Letter! 'I h
Baltimore American is the only one of the
whole Whig Press, which has had 'circum
spection' enough to recollect the circum
stancefor, on Tnesdav last, it quoted
the sentence in the following paragraph.
The language of Mr. Van Bu ten in
this letter, as quoted by the Enquirer,
runs in these words: ! have at no time or
any where hesitated to express my decided,
disapprobation of this Tariff of the tan1
session, as well in respect to the principle!
upon wnicn it is louiuietl, as to us details.'
With this spirit,, pays the Enquirer, we
hope the next Congress will assemble an)
act."
The quotation from the original letter
is literally corieti saving only that th
word 'act' has some how or other dropped
out in the process of republication.
We therefore, publish the letter,'
('that letter, as some of the editors have
more emphatically called it) but as we
have siicl, it was not originally addres
s'ed to ourselves but 'sent to us by a
friend-, and addressed to htm by Mr. Van
Buien.' If we Hake the responsibility ol
publishing it, without asking the consent ol
Mr. Van Buren or hi correspondent in
Virginia, we hope they will excuse us.
Brit, because We have riOt obtained, nor
even asked the permission of our correspon
dent, we think it our duty to suppress uis
name. Yet in every other respect, we
give the document precisely, in the follo'w
ing words and figures:
"Albany, Feb. 28, 1843.
"My Dear Sir: I thank you very kind
ly for your friendly letter. 1 have at no
time, nor any where hesitated to express

as to its details. In good time you will
have my views in respect to that and other
subjects before the public. In the mean
time, believe me to be,

"Your friend and ob't serv't
M. VAN BUKEN."
The reply to the Indiana Committee is,
we presume, the paper to which Mr. Van
Buren refersand as we said at the lime
we published that reply, this letter, short
but significant as it is, sheds a blear light
Upon the doctrines bf that.
We seize thi opportunity tif layirig also
another letter before our readers, which we
have never yet published. We mean Mr
Calhoun's reply to Mr. Nicholas, of Lou
isiana; upon the duties of Sugar. This let
ter was published by various pieces seve
ral months ago and one of our correspon
dents was then desirous of offering some
eommerits upon it but it is now called up
by the following note Irom Mr. Calhoun,
which has recently appeared in the 'Spec
tor,' arid some other presses, and was ad
dressed to a gentlerhan in Charlotte; North
Carolina:
''Fort Hill, Sept. 24, is43.
'Dear Sir: You are right in reference td
my opinions on the Tariff 1 deny the
right of imposing any duties, but for reve
nue, or to make any discrimination, but
on revenue principles. I, also, deny the
right of raising revenue, but for the con
stitutional and economical objects of the
Government.
'I have recently expressed the same
opinions in an answer to a letter from Lou

will find them fully and strongly expressed
in my speeches, of which a volume has
been recently published by the Harpers in

The State of North Carolina abounds in
Mines and Minerals; and many of its most
valuable treasures, are at present un
known. For the purpose of developing
the resources of this great Stale, so rieh in
(Sold, Silver,Copper, Lead, Iron, and other
Or. s; as well as Marble, Limestone, Mill
stones, Grind-stones, Whet-stones, Coal
and numerous other useful fossils, now-
hidden and buried in the mineral region of
our State, I propose that there shall be a
public meeting held in each of the Wes
tern Counties in N. Carolina,, to adopt the
best practicable plan to collect, deposile,
arrange, and keep at the Court House ot
each County, curious specimens, and valua
ble pieces from all mines, minerals, quar
ries or banks, which are or may be found
in each County, with the name of the per
son presenting it, and the place were found,
inscribed on it or a piece of paper attached
thereto: or number the specimen, and reg
ister that number and the name' or the
fierson presenting it, arid the pMace were
duhd; in a bdok kerjt far tHit purpose
Then each distinct mineral substance
Would have a fixed location", i habitation
and a name annexed arid its qualities may
be analysed and ascertained by those who
have the most practical knowledge, and
are best acquainted with the Arts and Sci
encis Such a Cabinet of Minerals1 collected &
deposited at the centre of each County,
would be an index to its mineral wealth,
and tend greaily to develope the valuable
resources, arid the rich hidden Treasures of
North Carblina.
Let each county form an Associate to col
lect, consider, and discuss the peculiar pro
perties of different metals, and investigate
and ascertain the distinguishing features
and indications df each mineral substance
In that way. heads would work as well as
hands for tne good of mankind, arid dif
fuse practical knowledge among the mi
ners and the people.
A State cabinet of minerals might and
ought to be collected and deposited at R d-
etgh, under the direction and guidance of
Some scientific and practical Mineralogist,
who should be authorised by the Legisla
ture to make a careful and accurate Survey
and Heport of the Oeoldgy and Mineralogy
til this State.
When North Carolinians shall . make"
themselves thoroughly acquainted with all
the valuable resources and rich treasures of
iheir own native land, they will justly ap
preciate their natural advantages, and be
utterly astonished how little they know
of the most important interests of this
gredt Commonwealth.
