and character of its people, he plunged with a natural enthusiasm, and collected a variety of facts tending to elucidate al these subjects. In a public address, deliv ered not long after his return W the U riited States, he sketched with a Vivid and bril liant pen several bf these topics; but it to be hoped Mat, from the materials he has edllccted a work ot a more extensive kind may be hereafter given to the public. is one'which is rendered peculiarly inter esting, from the nature of the friendly re lations that have existed, and that circum jifanrpq will rirnhnhlv ldnc nreserve. He t j o r remarked with sreat truth, in the address referred to, that "such, for mdre than half a century, has been the strangeness and perversity of d tiler international preten sions, that this republic and that despot ism, though widely separated, recognised the wisdom of closely cementing their mutual amity. The freedom df the Sea: the rights of neutrality , the searchlcsS shel ter of the flag, were early links of sympa thy and confidence which the forecast df Mr. Jefferson strove to rivet To these ties are since added others, springing mainly from a common consciousness that, while there can seldom, if ever be points bf enmity, their geographical relation dn opposite flanks of rival and ambitious pow ers, gives to their declared friendship a Vast efficiency in discduraging assaults dr encroachments upon their own security, pursuits, arid independence. It is but a reasonable curiosity which seeks to under stand a nation, more likely than any other to be the permanent and pacific ally of the United States." Since Mr. Dallas's return from Russia, he has devoted himself exclusively to the practice of his profession; and though it is generally understood, that not ldng after that a seat in his cabinet was tendered to him by Mr. Van Buren, he has, so far, ad hered to his determination to remain in private life. That lie1 will be long per mitted to do so, we cannot think, unless he shall strenuously resist the wishes and the judgment of his feilow-citizens. To the confidence reposed in him, founded in his adherence, from earliest yduth, to the accepted ddctrineS of the republican party bit every great natidnal question, he adds a brilliancy of genius, a SpOtlcSs personal life, drid qualities so calculated to win the ; affection" arid regard of all with whom he j is called intd association, that his native State, placing him as she does in the high est class of her favorite sons, will scarcely consent that the riper years of his life fchall be withdrawn altogether from her service, and that of the people of the Unit ed States. Adorning arid filling, as he would with eminent distinction, the most exalted offices that his fellow-citizens can ! bestow their hope is certainly as general as it is reasonable and just, that none of the accidents which hang upon all human foot steps may withhold hiirl from the hdnora ble discharge of those public trusts which are conferred, by the willing suffrages of a free people, upon those among them who have been found to be the most deserving. In personal appearance and deportment, few men blend more simplicity and digni- tv, and as a public sneaker, his manner is Sinsularlv Drenossessinir. Thoncrh nnt hasty or unusually rapid, his lively imag ination and success in happy illustration give to his speeches, even when least pre meditated dri attractive variety, aptness, and ease, arid make him one of the most fortunate of orators in occasional addresses to popular bodies, as he has been one of the most successful in scenes requiring the highest talents for debate. To letters he i know;ri to have always been as much de voted as the Occupations of an otherwise active life would permit. His numerous political papers give evidence of an excel lent style; and it is not many years since his occasional Contributions in the various branches of elegant literature were to be U ml x i " .wV found in the publications of the day; If inewin may be lairly indulged, that one whose public life has hitherto been so use ful, may not be hereafter withdrawn from a participation in public affairs, the hone maybe expressed with equal justice, that literature may yet receive from his peri many ot those contributions, in which ge nius and taste are brought to illustrate the dictates of a judgment always enlightened, and the honest sentiments of a generous heart Pisastrous tire in New Orleans.

Conse quently, we must Support such men as will carry out our wishes. It is a mere deception of the Whigs to say the next Presidency has nothing to do with imme diate annexation. 1 he negdtiatidrt lor Texas has commenced, the first effort (the Treaty is baffled. We now propose a mi continued and vigorous pursuit of the same purpose. The great issue will he submit ted to the people in the Presidential elec tion Mr. Polk is pledged for immediate annexation, arid Air. Clay against it; and who cannot see the success of the one or the other of these candidates, ensures at once or defeats forever, the proposed an nexation df Texas. So we still go for im mediate annexation, and support only such men and measures as will sodnest effect it. bongrcss.

Thus has the Senate rejected Texas from the Union, in disregard of the great interests of the country; and we much fear, lo WO!wrv Ponai views ana me promo- ;ton of certain politicians. From the expression of public feeling on this subject, we are confident that this de cision of the Senate will be reversed by the People, and the rejectors may find themselves arraigned before an injured constituency, and in their tdrn be also re jected. The interest of the two countries require their union, and the people of both desire it, and the efforts and intrigues of designing politicians, will cnljr delay btit c'ariftot forbid Or present the brinS of union". The Unanimity of the Whigs in Con gress in opposition to the treaty, is but art ll-di?guised attempt to sustain the wedk arid inconsistent positiOii of Henry Clay on this qtiestiori. But the people yet pre serve independence enough to' proclaim their Own Opinions. Their admiration for the man will not mislead their judgments. Nor can they submit to have Opinions dic tated to them or their own moulded over to suit the varying dues of a political aspi rant Mr. Benton voted against thc treaty but immediately introduced resolutions to' annex Texas by a legislative act So we see whatever motive prompted Mr. Ben ton to vote against the treaty, he has been compelled by the almost Unanimous voice of his own State, Missouri, to yield his op position, and to Seek for consistency sake to effect the object in a different mode; we will not quarrel for mere forms, all We ask is, that the public voice and public interest, which so unequivocally demand the ad mission of Texas, should be heeded. The boundaries and number of States may be arranged by subsequent legislation. ' Sir. Henderson, of Mississippi, it seems, woo ihn nnlv Whio- Senator who voted for " j ratification of the treaty.

In reading over the ayes and noes in the annexation of Texas. We are prdud to see our Democratic Senator, Mr. Hay wood, at his post faithfully reflecting by his votes the wishes of North Carolina on this important question. The fidelity and firmness with which he has thus far perfor med his duty, justifies the confidence repo sed in him by Ills constituents. His uni form opposition to the lavish and reckless expenditure df public riloney, whether for Internal Improvements, or gratuities to individuals in payment of Fraudulent claims on the Government, deserves ihe thanks of the whole people. And more particularly his vigilant opposition to the squandering the public lands, by numerous petty distributions in the shape of grants, donations, relinquishments, whereby the public have been cheated df some of the fairest portions of the public domain; some times for favdrcd or shrewd individuals and sometimes for States themselves. On this Subject that Mr. Haywood deserves the hearty well done from a generous con stituency, and if supported by an efficient colleague, and sustained by the Senate, the country would have been thousands better off, and justice and natidnal faith preserved.

T." 1 he Lchtor of the "Press" returns his compliments to "Tacitus," and after re viewing his positidn, with the light and au thority of McRae's map before him; sees no reason to change it. We cannot see what ffeoirraDhical nronrictv. there is iri saying that Tar River empties into the O CJ 1 I I J 7 Pamlico, when the Tar and Pamlico are one continuous stream nor do ve see how "Tacitus" can deduce any such inference from what appears dn the face of the map. The most that can be made of it is, that the River is known by the name of the Tar throughout its whole course until it reaches Beaufdrt county. when it assumes thn ginlaj which Joes hottake the name of Roa . . - nokc until it enters i.
