. . . Uv Consrress. I can- not, however, sufficiently impress upon Confess, the great importance of with holding appropriations for improvements which are not ascertained, by previous ex amination and survey, to be necessary for -the shelter and protection of trade from the dangers of storms and tempests. With out this precaution, the expenditures are but too apt to enure to the benefit of indi viduals; without reference to the only con : sid ration which can render them constitu tionalthe public interests and the gene ral good. " I cannot too earnestly urge upon you the interests of this District, over which, by the Constitution, Congress has exclusive jurisdiction. Il would be deeply to be re g.etted should there be, at any time, ground to complain of neglect on ihe part of a community which, deiached as it is from the parental care of the States of Vir ginia and Maryland, can only expect aid from Congress as its local legislature. Amongst the subject which claim your at tention, is the prompt organization of an asylum for the insane, who may be found, from time to time, sojourning within the District. Such course is also demanded by considerations which apply to branches of the public service, rorthe necessi'ie: in this behalf. I invite your particular at tentiou lo the report of the Secretaiy of the Navy. I have thus, gentlemen of the two Ilou aes rif Comrrrs. nri'ented von a true and faithful picture of the condition of publh affairs-, both forfiirn and domestic. The wants of the public service are made known to you, and matters of no ordinary importance are urged upon your cousider tion. Shall 1 not be permitted to congrat ulate you on the happv auspices under which vou have assembled, and at ihe im portant change in the condition of thing which Ins occurred in the lat three years? During that period questions with for eign powers of vital importance to tht peace of our country, have been brought to a close The internal tranquillity of the country, threatened by agitating ques tions, has been preserved. The cred it of the Government has be-n tho roughly restored. lis coffers, which, for a season, were empty, have been re plenished. A currency, nearly uniform in its value, has taken the place of one de preciated and almost worthless. Com merce and manufactures, which had suffer ed in common with every other interest, have once more revived; and the whole country exhibits an aspect of prosperity and happiness. Trade and barter, no lon ger governed by a wild and speculative ma.fria rest upon a substantial footings and tne rapin growtn 01 our cities in every di rection, bespeaks, most strongly the favor able Circumstances by which we are sur rounded. My happiness, in the retire ment which shortly awaits me, is the ar dent hope which 1 experience, that this state of prosperity is neither deceptive nor destined to he short lived; and that meas .ures'which have not yet received its sanc tion, but which I cannot but regard as closely connected with the honor, the g!o ry, and still more enlarged prosperity of t hrt (tnnnlflr ira .

Un der these circumstances, and with these anticipations, I shall most gladly leave to others, more able than myself, the noble and pleasing task of sustaining the public prosperity. I shall carry with me into retirement the gratifying reflection that, as my sole objVct throughout has been to advance the public good, I may not cnliic ly have failed in accomplishing it; and this gratification is heightened in no small degree by the fact that when, under a deep and abiding sense of duty, 1 have found myself constrained to resort to the qualiti ed V to, it has neither been followed by disannroval on ihn n.trt nf thp P-nnlr nur rr- ; - - i - wi weakened in any degree their attachment to that greit conservative feature of our Government. JOHN TYLER. Washington, December, 1814. Also, on Tuesday last, while Col. Pitt was cumins to Taiboro', the shafts of his sulky broke, his horse took fright and ran off, dashing his sulky to pieces, breaking Col. Pitt's leg below the knee and other wise injuring him. Pork. The price of pork, in this place, is S3 50 to S3 75. The Petersburg Intelligencer says: A drove of some 700 good hogs has been sold at 5M per 100 lbs. The Norfolk Deacon says: Green pork is selling in mar ket at 4 to 4 cts. Senator from Pitt. We learn that Isaac Joy ner, Eq. was elected Senator from Pitt county, in the place of Mr. Foreman, dee'd, by a majori ty of 39 votes over Marshal Dickinson, Esq. Mr. Joy tier is a whig, and has taken his seat in the General Assembly. South Carolina Massachusetts. South Carolina, like our own Slate and most of the Southern Stales, has laws to prevent the arrival and sojourning among us of free negroes The policy of these laws are taught and enforced in the South, by our own self-preservation, fiom Ihe wicked schemes of insurrectionists and ab olitionists. Yet Massachusetts, in her transcendent al views of philanthropy, abolition and of the rights of the State, undertakes to veto these laws over which she has no control and in which she has no concern. She sends her agent Sam'l Hoar, as Minister and Envoy Extraordinary of the free blacks, to go to So. Carolina, protect these foreign frcy negroes and institute suits to test the constitutionality of the laws. And the siid Sam'l Hoar, proceeds to Charles ton ami with great assurance, notifies the Governor of his arrival ami intention; who ent his communication t the Legislature then in session, and the Legisluluie of S. Carolina forthwith, parsed a resolution re quiring the Governor to eject the said free negro minister, Sam'l Hoar, from the Mate; and Sam'l Hoar, without further intimation, took a "bee line" for Hoston. S. Carolina, whenever her rights are in fringed, acts with spirit and promptness; and in this matter, to prevent foreign offi cious intermeddling in her affairs, si c has set an example which may teach, even Massachusetts, the folly of leaving her borders in search of wi ndmills and Quixot ic amelioration of distress in the bord ers of other powers, Neill.

Mr. Worth reported resolutions requesting our Senators and Representatives in Congress to urge upon their respective bodies the ex pediency and necessity of making a suffi cient appropriation for rebuilding the Branch Mint at Charlotte, in this State. On Thursday, the 12th inst. the Senate took up the bill concerning Jury trials, and after some discussion it was laid on the ta ble. On Ihe 13th, William F. Collins, Esq. was re-elected Comptroller, over Thomas Jefferson, Esq. the Senator from Ruther ford, by a vote of 133 to 21. On the 14th, Mr. Eaton presented a re solution requesting the Governor to lay before the Senate a statement of the ex pense of the Literary and Internal Im provement Boards from the first of Nov. 1812 to the first of Nov. 184 4, to whom paid and for what, together with a state ment of the contingent and incidental ex pencesufall kinds which have been incur red in reclaiming the Swamp lands, to whom paid and for what. On the 16th, Mr. Halsey presented a resolution proposing to adjourn if die on Monday the 6th day of January next. Mr. Moody moved to insert the 2 1th inst instead of 6th of January. Adopted. Af ter a brief debate, however, the resolution was laid on the table. Mr. Waddell made a report, accompa nied by a letter from the Hon. William A. Graham, Governor elect of North Carolina, in which that gentleman declares his readi- j ncss to take the oaths of office on the 1st day of January next. The hill to change the lime of holding the elections in this Stale to the last Thurs lay in April, was amended and then re-' jected, ayes 18, noes 29 A vote was taken for four Trustees of quish the contract for the mail between Weldon and Charleston after the 1st ol January, unless the Post Office Dep.rt menl would pay 300 per mile per an num, instead of 220, the rate now paid We should judge that the los of the mail would materially decrease the income ot the road, without a corresponding decrease of the expenditures; and thus be a seriou drawback on its means of paying the Slate S50.000 every January. Fay. Car. Right For Once. An emissary has been appointed by the Legislature of Mas sachusetts, arrived at Charleston. Thu person is the Hon. Samuel Hoar, formerly a distinghished member of Congress. His object is to ascertain the number and names of "such citizens of Massachusetts who may be imprisoned" under a law of the State of South Carolina, which directs the incarce ration of free negroes who come from the other Sates as cooks, seamen, Jkc. and to institute suits in their'behalf in the U. States Court. Mr. Hoar wrote to Governor Hammond, informing him of his arrival and of his obj-ct. 'I he Governor laid the matter before the Legislature, and a resolu tion has been adopted directing the Gover nor to expel from the State the emissary of Massachusetts, after due notice is given to him to depart. This is as it should be the '-wrong heads" are right, for once. We learn that Mr. Hoar has returned home. Raleigh Independent. the University, as follows: For Calvi in Graves 112, W. W. I herry 104.

The three first named gentlemen were duly elected. On the 17th, Maj. Hinton was elected Public Treasurer over Col. Wheeler, the present faithful and enlightened officer. The vote was, Hinton 93, Wheeler 71. Thus (says the Standard) has one of the best Treasurers the State ever had been ejected from office to gratify political mal ice, and to provide a place for a rabid Clay partizan. In the House of Commons, on the 11th I inst. Mr. Bond reported unfavorably on .L. I'll f. .. il . I I I . f . r. me uiu ior me esiannsnmeni oi a Hoard ol Dreadful Deaths by Fire. On Wed nesday night last, about 2 o'clock, the dwelling house of Mr. George Wyrick, 13 miles northeast of Greensboro,' was burned down, and horrible to tell, three of his children were burnt to death in it one a son of about 16, and the other two daughters still younger. Mr. vVyrickisa widower, and slept in one end of his house, whi.e his children s'ept in the other end. He was awakened by the roaring, but as it hail been raining he thought at first il was but an increase of the siorm. He howev er opened the door, and sa the flames r ush ingoutatthe window of his children's chamber. He made an unavailing ailemn' j to break open the room door. He also ran to the window,and got himself badly burned by reaching into the flaming apartment to rescue his children, one of whom he hear d screaming But all in vain! His negro man caught one of the girls by the hand, but the window was so high from ihe floor that he could not rai-e her, and she fell back. Every thing was consumed even to the clothes that Mr. W. had left by his bedside. God have compassion on that man.

"Jl merry Christmas." No paper will be issued from this office the ensuing week. We tender to our rea ders, though it be somewhat in advance, the compliments of the season. Our next No. will be issued on next Saturday week. Loss by Fire and Occident. We regret to learn that, on Friday night of last week, the Turpentine Distillery of Col. J. P. Pitt, at Sparta in this county, was consumed by fire with a large quantity ot turpentine. Loss estimated at about $2,000. The fire is supposed to have originated by accident rights, interests, and honor of the Union. " This proposition, so broad in its terms as even to comprehend the views and support of Mr. Clay, has been promptly rejected by the whigs in our Legislature. We have seldom seen such a reckless display of party spirit. The hase spirit of faction, disregarding the decision of the people, the manifest interest and wishes of our whole country, spitefully to defeat a measure which has defeated them in the late election. If such is a specimen of whig statesmen, we invite the people to examine their clatms at the noils. We hope the bill with the yeas and nays on it will be posted at every election ground, that those statesmen of a faction"' may receive their reward. The following are the yeas and nays on the motion for reject ing the resolution. leas Messrs. Adams, 15arco, D. A.

The Standard observes: That this vole is a true expression of the opinions of the people ol this State on annexation, we utterly deny It is Ihe voice of a faction, clothed with ac cidental power in the House of Commons a voice to which the people of the Old Noith can never respond with approbation. Congress. In the Senate,on the 1 Hh inst. Mr. Ben ton introduced his bill to annex Texas. Mr. Huntingdon, a resolution calling for the correspondence between our Govern ment and France on the annexation of Texas. And Mr. Johnsen,a resolution for modifying the naturalization laws. In the House of Representatives, on the 12th inst. the committee on foreign affairs reported upon Texas annexation. Their bill is a copy of Mr. McDufhVs. On the same day, Mr. Dodge presented the Con stitution of the State of Iowa, with the ap plication of that Slate for admission into the Union; which was referred to the com mittee on territories. The Mail. It appears that the great Southern mail is again to come through Fayetteville in four horse post coaches, from and after the 1st January next. In connexion with this announcement here, it is stated by the Wilmington Chronicle, that the November meeting of the stock holders of the Wilmington and Raleigh railroad instructed the Directors to relin- Sorlh Carolina Conference. We learn from the Raleigh Star, that the North Ca rolina Conference of the Methodist Episco pal Church closed its session in Pittsboro' on Thursday of last week, after an unusual- ly interesting session of eight days. The Conference acted with entire unanimity on the subject of division, and concurred in the proposition to hold a Convention of the southern Conferences in Louisville. Kv. on the first of May next. The fallowing are among the Appoint ments for next year: Washington District, Jas. Reid, P. E. Washington, Jno. T. Brame. Roanoke, Wm. J. Duval, and N. H. D. V ilson. Tarborough, Wm. H.

Accounts from Mexico to the 16lh of last month, represent the af fairs of that country as in a very disturbed condition. An insurrection has broken out at Guadalaxara, Guansjuato and San Louis, sufficiently serious to require the personal attention of Santa Anna. The movement was headed by Gen. Parcotes, who calls the President to an account for the enormous sums of money expended du ring his administration. Santa Anna had raised an army of 10,000 men, and procee ded towards Guadalaxara for lhe purpose of quelling the sedition. The American Minister, Wilson Shan non, esq. has temporarily suspended all his official intercourse with the Mexican Government. He had remonstrated upon the projected invasion of Texas, and was told that it was a matter of no concern to the United States w any other powers. Ilaleigh Ind. FOR THE TARBORO PKESS.
