tain in g 1500 acres, or more, 3- to 400 acres of
which jis in high swamp, and well adapted to the

else. pThis land is so situated, that the water
which falls upon it, runs off in opposiledtrcctions,
emptying itself into Little River on the West,

White1 and other OaksJ Black and Sweet Giim,
Ash, P-opJ.ars, Swamp Palmetto, ic. &c. The
residuejof the tract is of Hammock and Pine land,
calculated for Timber, Turpentine, Tar,
The range for Cattle is excellent, having the be
nefit of a large salt marsh, and the Hog ranjge
not to be beaten. Fish ' and Oysters of the best
kind, are to be obtained within one and a half
miles of tha settlement, in great abundance. The
advatai)esc.fShallotte and Little Rivers are very
great, when vessels of considerable size can ap-
proach within five, to seven miles of the sett
e-
ment, and carry produce to any marketl The
settlements are new, and in pretty eood ordd

THUS J THINK.
From Locke'i -Miicdlanous Papers, publuhed
in his Life by Lord King J ,
ft is a man's proper business to seek
happiness and avoid misery. Happiness
consists- in what delights and coi.tents the
mind; misery in what disturbs, discom
poses, or torments it.
I will therefore make it ny business lo
seek satisfaction and delight, and avoid
uneasiness and disquiet ; to have as much
of the one and as liitle of the other as may
te.
But here I must have a care I mistake
not; for ii I prefer a short pleasure to a
lasii. one, it is p'.ain i cioss my own
happiis.'
Let me then see wherein consists the
most lasting pleasure of this lite, and
that, as far as L can obserre, is in these
things:
1st. Health, without which do sensual
pleasure can hare any relish.
2nd. Reputation, for that I find every
body is pleased with; arid the want of it
is .1 constant tormenL-
3rd. Knowledge, for the little know
ledge I bare, I find 1 would not sell at
any rate, nor part with for any other
pleasure.
4th. Doing good, for I find the well
cooked meat I eat to-day does now no
more delight me, nay, lam diseased after

his'n. ,
We are met here, not only to fix on
some plan to get the country ouiol trouble,
but to see hgw it got into trouble and I
am guin to say a little on.bih pints.
When a.chirably smokes at the wronj
rend, whh the wind at north eatt, some
rolks may corner themselves with openin
windows and doors to let the smoke out ;
hut my notion is that the safest plan is to
see into the cause on'f, and vorrect ft, so
that the chimbly will only smoke at tha .
ri'hl cend. let the, wind blow any way.
Now there is a few things we must -look
into a leetle, and then we will know
more about 'em, and 1 am goin to exa
mine What kind of a critturihc Bank of the
United States raly is;
Whclher its natur is to do pood or evil
to the country; and then wind up with
Matters and thinps in general.
Twenty year ago theVountry was in
trouble, and lili'd up with all 'kinds cf
U-ir.k pajr nih upon as lad as old
Continental and a good deel a lettla
worse. If any body ain't 'old enuiT
to remember that time, and wants to see
what kind of money I mean, let him go
to the Treaeury, and Mr. Taney can show
Kim nijh a million and a half of collars,
not worth the con ol the paper and ink
used every year in makin a report on't:
but this is only a drop compar'd to what
would be there now of the tame kind, of
stuff if it had'rit been for the Bank cl th?
United States. All our wise folks of that
day said we must have a Bank of the U.
States, aud a good big oneone stronc
en tiff to do the work well, and to clear
out all this trash, and so tlm Bank was
made, and the first thing was. as theo
was a trry little rale money io the coun
try, the Bank went and bo't a cood isc
on't io Kurope, and nem to work elcann
aivay jest es we do our fields in tbfc
epimg
It w as a pretty dirty job lo do so, I tell
you, and the Bank didn't get through
with it without tcrachin, and tinuuia its
fingers pretty considerable: and that
warn'l the voom on't for the Bank. Tbo
Government made the Bank agree to pay
fifteen hundred thounnd dollars for the
priviledge of doing this work, and md
it agree to take care of the pcopft mo
ney in all paits of the country, and to pay .
it "here and there whenever the Gorerc
roent told 'env fld to nay offall the per
sions, and lo do eny thing in the money
way. without char gin any thing for a to -the
Government, this was a pretty talT
bargain for the bank for all it got tn re
turn was, to hare the kerpin of the money
aod when the Government didn't want il
the Bank might lend it out. It took a
good many years afore the Bank got
things to work smooth.. It was like tp'
whoppiu bigrtragon that wanted a good -many
horses to" drag it, and as it had a
valuable freight in it, wanted coo bat tbo
best kind of horses rale Cooestogt
and it warn't erry one who knew how to
drive such a team. The owners of this
wagon foond that out for tome c! the
first that they get came plaguy nigh preiv
