SATURDAY. DECKMtfER 16, 1843
Pre&tfent's Aiessnge. We inseit to
day the Menage of President Tyler. He
gives, it will be .een, a flalterin view of
the internal condition oF the country, and
of our foreign relations. The unequivocal
language held respecting the Oregon Ter
ritory, and Texas and Mexico, will he ap
proved by the patriotic arid cdnsiderale ol
all parties. But the financial condition of
the country, appears to he getting worse
land ivoise, and we i .dine to the belief hr
the remedy suggested by the President,
will not find favor in the sight of either of
the great parties of the country. The
Message is an able and well written docu
ment, and merits, as it doubtless will re
ceive, an attentive and careful perusal.

Gentlemen, I have the honor 10 acknow
ledge the receipt of your commiinicatidn,
inviting me to visit the Capitol of )our
State. In our federal constellation there is
hot a brighter star than that of North Caro
lina. In our earliest struggle for liberty,
ihe was foremost to shake off the shackle
of foreign oppression, and proclaim to her
confederated sisters her independence.
For its establishment, she withheld no sac
rjflcej nor counted her richest blood too
dearaprice. The character which she
tHen- established for gallantry and patrio
tism, she has well sustained in all the polit
ical vicissitudes through which our Repub
lic has since paed; and in all i's progress
from infancy to maturity, she hag given a
uniform example to the world of generous, j
tindeviating devotion to the principles
tvhich-first stimulated her to action. Hav
ing ever7 cherished a veneration for that no
ble State", It has long been my desire to
mafee it 4 visit. Whether it will be in my
bowers. this time to do so, is yet proble-
. 'i..-r n f : . J
mallear." Business ui preaJMiijj; unciw ue-
tains me for a season at, of near this place,
from which I can make but short excur
sions. In compliance with the request of
friends I am at this moment about taking
my departure for a day or two into Mary
landbut roust hasten back to this city.
When my engagements here shall be ac
complished, if the season shall not be too
far advanced, and if circumstances will per
mit, it will, give mfcthe greatest pleasure fo
visit the Capital of that honored State.
Public, service has not permitted me to
pend -a -winter at my home for forty
years.- It. is rrry intention to enjoy that
long desired yet long departed luxury the
approaching winter. A little time v i T I de
termine whether it will be practicable for
-me to tndnfge'the wih of exchanging salu
tations with my fellow-crtizenS of North
.OaroWfia ia Ralfrigh? and if so, I shall re
gard it my duty lb advise you of it.

(fcyThe Charlotte Jeffe'Sonian suggests
to the young men of the Democratic prty
throughout the country, the propriety of
fheir holding Conventions in the drfferent

and Eastern States, hold a convention rn
New York. Those of the Western and
Middle States at Cincinnati, or some other
point in the West, and' those of the Southern
States' at Charleston, during the ensuing

Exportation of Cotton Good.A
Boston correspondent of the Uoehes er
Democratic furnishes that paper with a
statement, taken from the custom house
books, of the amount of DirAesttcs .-hip
ped from that port diiiing the last three
months. The aggregate amount is 12,763
biles and 39 cases, equivalent to more than
nine millions of vards. The total amodnl
of sales of cotton goods alone of Massachii
ettsand Rhode Island manufactured within
three months, is estimated at S5,000,000.
The stock markets of this city, and of
New York were in a very excited state
during the last week. Sales to an immense
extent took place, and the spirit of stock
gambling was never more rile. In New
York, for example, during one day, S400,
L'OO in Mate stocks were sold, while in
Philadelphia immense sales also took place
The most worthless description of stocks,
for at least such as were so regarded some
months since,) are now qui'e in demand
For example: Girard, which at one time
sold at Si per share, has been .selling for
some days in large quantities at Irom 7 to
H 1-2. Vicksburg. which at one tune sold
at 50 cents a share, have been s Ming at 4
12. United States Bank has risen to
1-2.
immense sums have been made in some
cases; but the bubble will soon explode, &
many person will no doubt, be ruined.
We earnestly caution our readers against
the system. Bicknelrs Phil. Hep.
(jThk Savannah Georgian mentions
the discovery of an article which promises
to be the means of saving many lives in
shipwreck, and would be invaluable on
our western wateis, so obnoxious td dam

It is an air pillow, and U called Mackin
tosh's Air Pillow. It is represented as"
being the cleanest, softest, most whole

thatcan be used, and covered with a pillow
case, it is like any other pillow. In dan

when uncased, will exhibit straps or strings
