would suffice to open an inland com

and to the Ocean. The line of Canal
is estimated at 56 miles in length.

THE CITIZENSHIP OF GOVERN
OR BRANCH.
We saw a few days ago another ex-
tra JrQm"$heiiffice blJLheJsiandam ton-:
taininc a letter or certificate of Gov.
Branch trying to show that he is not a
citizen of Florida.
And how, gentle reader, do you think
he proves it? He admits that he has
removed his lamily and property to(
Florida, where " he spends his winter
and springs;" and that he is now a
candidate for a if at in their Convention,
but that he was born and raised in
North Carolina, and on the same plan
tation too where " a long line of native
bom anceslort lived before ntm," and
therefore he is stiil, anil of course must
continue to the end of his life, a North
Carolinian. How amusing! Why, Pat,
the Irish bogirottcr, who comes over
here in search of whiskey and freedom,
knows better than that; and that a man,
no matter where he is born, may be
come the citizen of another country.
This reminds us of an old story of a
foreigner who came to this country and
advertised for on American tervunt.
A raw Paddy from Cork, just 'caught'
anil brought overTn;d his appear
ance, and in the rich brogUcOf-Ertn
enquired, " Is it your honor that is in
want of a sarving man?' "I am in
wantol a servant, but I want an Amer
ican; pray what countryman are your"
'Och,.l 'am an Amirikin," says Pat.
" Indeed; why where were you born?"
inquired the gentleman laughingly
'In ould Ireland, to be sure, your
honor; but it a chicken be hatched i
the stable, must he be a horse?"
But to be serious. Does Gov. Bianch
really insist that he still resides in
Halifax.?,. How much of the last four
years has 'he spent there? He spends
his winters and springs in Florida."
Docs lie spend his summers and falls
in Halifax? Is his family not now
spending the summer at his-summer
house in Georgia? When he was a
bona fide citizen ol that county, we re
member his summer and fall residence
was in Wake county for health. We
have occasionally heard of him in N.
Carolina, but it was when he was flying
through the State on his way to Wash
ington or some Northern City, or on
his return home. But he still owns a
plantation in Halifax. Now he may do
this for a variety of reason. It may
be. that it is endeared to him ai the de
pository of the bones of his kindred,
and therefore he will not sell it; or, it
maybe that he and long line of
notice born ancettort 7 ot which he
speaks, have worked it so long and so
hard that it i worn out, and that nobo
duwtll buy it. But can any man not
wholly demented by his hunger and
4A.-I yi" 4flie, aaaa Dial the th -
ands of North Carolinians who have re
moved from this State within Ihe last
four years, and who still own freeholds
here, and who return now and then to
look after their unsettled business, are,
within the intrepretion of the constitu
tion or common sense, citizeniand res
idents of Xorth Carolina? A locomo
tive citizenship, as the Newbern Spec
tator says, will not do. He cannot be
a citizen of both countries and of either
at the same time, as his interest may
sujrgest.
We once saw a caricature that illus
trates our idea. A clerk in one of the
Departments at Washington City was,
during his residence there, elected a
member of Congress from one of the
eastern States. A debute arose in the
House of Representatives about his
residence and eligibility; and the pic
ture represented tire poor clerk as
thrown "sky high" in the air, with his
heels upward, and Ins hands most im
plnringlr spread out, and the celebra
ted John Randolph, then a member of
..the IIouget and . who hail joined in the
debate, standing in one corner point
ing that long fore finger at him, and
exclaiming " If he is there, he can't be
here."
Where did the people of Leon (lis
trict, in Florida, think Gov. Branch
lived when they nominated him lor
their Convention? Where did he him
self then think he lived when he accept
ed their nomination?
But Honda, lie seems to think, is
wo where. It can't furnish a local hab
itation and a residence at ll. It is
mere Territory, a Plantation of the
United States." " A Plantation'''!!!
Why really, Gov. Branch, you have
been so lonz away Irom the plain speak
ing people of North Carolina, and have
ltitf.1. ili1inn at, tatiifl, i.T tlia lAtJi n t -
mosphere of tlie palace at Washington of
late, that you talk like an bnglish no
bleman would about their British East
India plantations, and their Canadian
plantations. Such an argument does
not deserve an answer. And this is
what the Standard calls eomolele refu
lotion, a nailing to the counter as false,
a matter as dear as tlie sun in the
heavens.

cle Sam entitled io "their infant strug

In fine, we are pained and mortified

STATE RIGHTS.
Fob the 'Stab.'
To the Editor of the Standard.
Sir, in your paper of the
11th inst. appears a letter headed
"Windsor. Bertie Co., N. C. June -2G,
1838." In that letter, among other
intended to be smartj things, made
known to you, and by you to the peo
ple of Bertie, in order to dictate to
them who they shall give leave to stay
at home, and who they shall -choose to
repiesent them in the next Legislature
of N. C, it is said the "federal whis
have brought . out Lewis Bond, En.,
for the Commons;" thus intending, bv
a combination of offensive terms, with
out the least regard to truth or honesty
to give the said "Lewis Bond, Eq.,"
leave to stay at home also. If you,
sir, had seen fit to let the name of your
coxcomical correspondent accompany
his presumptuous communication, you
would have spared me the trouble of
thus noticing iiis impertinent dictation;
and lest any citizen of Bertie should
be at a loss to know who this worthy
correspondent ofjjie Standard is, it
win De suiucieni iq remark m a me. may
be met with, on every muster ground
pending the election, yea, and at
church too, on the Sabbath, assuming
to be leader, and dictator to ir?Ti of
sense and respectability. I will not
lorbear, however, to notice a sign ol
improvement in your correspondert.
He seems to have discovered that Ber
tie has at least one other talented son
beside himself; and if he is in earnest
in what he says, he thinks seriously a
bout sendinz him to Congress; but I
am afraid he is not in earnest, or if he
. . . . a i
is, that he will change his minu Dei ore
the time arrives, especially if he dis
covers that Lewis Bond, who was
"brought out by the federal whig,"
would be much gratified to see this
magnanimous project of the Standard's
correspondent at Windsor carried into
eft'eet.
And now, Fellow Citizens of Bertie,
rrmit mc to say something about how
was brought out as a candidate to
represent this county. To many of you
the whys and the wherefores are very
well known; but what most be the
wonder and amazement of the KJitor
of the Standard, after the information
given him by his Windsor correspon
dent, thus to be told, without the fear
of contradiction, that this most talent
ed Son of Kertip, ao recently discover
ed by his correspondent at Windsor,
exerted more influence upon the hum
ble individual who now addresses you,
ringing hint out as candidate than
any other citizen in the county of Ber-
1 1 v . num. ii ma, vc ai..u.
are your qualifications, which thould
induce one ot Bertie's must talented
sons so lately discovered bv the Stan
dard's correspondent at Windsor, to
gether with many others equally res
pectable, who have not as yet attract
ed his notice, to bring you out as a can
didate.'" I his, Icllow citizens, is quite
a delicate question lor me to answer;
but as I will not arrogate to myself
qualifications which I am aware I do
not possess, neither .will. I by a volun
tary humility, withhold those which I
rbelieve that my fellow citizen. ascribe
to me. Then I answer, that there is
no doubt it was their confidence in the
integrity of my life, the faithfulness
with which I "have, for a long time, dis
charged the duties of some of the most
responsible county offices, and an
honest purpose to promote the welfare
not only of my county, lut the State
of N. C, and my whole country
qualifications which are not likely soon
(if I am not greatly deceived to bring
the Standard's correspondent at Wind
sor before the people, nor to sustain
him, should he by other means bring
himself before them.
Fellow Citizens, you are truly in
formed how I became a candidate, and
the matter is submitted to you, wheth
er you will give me leave to stay at
home, or whether you will choose to
send me to uaieign as one oi vour
Representatives and in whatever may
be your will in making the decision, I
shad cheerfully acquiesce.
LEWIS BOND,
Windsor, July 21, 1838.
GOVERNOR'S ELECTION.
The Editor of the "Standard," in
announcing his intention to support
Got. IIhakch, declares that he "does
not regret" the position which he Occu
pieu a snore time ago, nor noes ne 're

As the reader may be anxious to know
what were the position snd sentiments
which he then entertained, aod which.
he would have us believe, he still cher
ishes, we give his own words:
It is thought, if the Governor's election Is

The Editor certainly has a right to en
tertain any opinion be thinks proper on
that question; but we are greatly de
ceived, if' the People of Xonh Caroli
na are also so much wedded to pany
attachments; and so blinded by parly
prejudices, as to support "any nomina
tion" which politician may attempt to
cram down their tlnoats. 'We cannot
believe that they will consent to stig
matize Gov. Dudley, merely because
the Van Buren leaders have thoog'it
proper to attempt hi prostration, to
advance ;iry interests.
The Editor thinks that State Officers
should not lie opposed solely on account
oClhrir opinion on National affairs.
Why then should Gov. Dudley be so
strenuously opposed, by those who ac
knowledge that there is no question
of State policy on which he can be hos
tile to the intereits of North Caroli
na?" In the correspondence between
the Committee and Gov. Branch,
mention whatever it made of State
matters; the simple question was whe
ther he coincided with them in support
of the Sub-Treasury project. The
Standard, a short time since, declared
its belief that a "very large majority
of tlie Democratic Republican party
were averse to an opposition to Gov.
Dudley." Whether itfry wH-Wego
that opinion, and now oppose him, be
cause they -do-not conceive that they
have a right to object to any nomina
tion that "the party" may make, or to
withhold from it their support,., is a
question that can only be answered by
themselves.
We are told that "there is a time for
all things," and the Standard seems to
act up to the doctiihe. We remember
that this same print , charged, two years
ago, that Gov. Dudley's election was
procured solely through the agency of
the Nullificrs, asserting that his major
ity throughout the State would not ex
ceed that given him in the Salisbury
Nullification District. The Editor,
too, thought it his duty to say that the
"Nullifying" portion of the Whig par
ty always acted in disregard of politi
cal honesty, and were fir more odious
and, unprincipled than their 'allies.'

the arrival ot the schooner Lone, t.apt.
Clark, of this port,, from Matamoias,
having on board, in apparent captivity,
three French naval, officers and six
men. - Every body we met had such a
droll chuckle and grin on his counten

could understand what it all meant.
However, wc went aboard, saw the

The Lone left this city some time
since with a valuable cargo -for Mati

port despite of the blockade; but iu nt
tempting to return was captured by the
boats of a French brig ofwar the four
sailors ami a passenger were placed on

and Capt. Clark, the mate and stewai t
were allowed to remain on board. A
prize crew took charge ot tier, consis

captain of the foretop six sailors, nine
in all and thus ringed out, the prize
was dispatched to the French admiral
at Wra Cruz. Thie capture, &c. took
place on tlie 25 ill or 28ih of June the
mate does not remember which, as he
had not the log convenient when we
saw him.
After getting every thin;, in readi
ness they proceeded on their way to
Vera Cruz. Ihe French were stran
gers, not acquainted with the currents,
the coast, the , Northers, ,&c, and the
Yankee prisoners blarneyed them so,
that they struck much larther to the
eastward than was necessary and actu
ally made a mistake ol three degrees
in their reckoning. The Yankees, how
ever, knew where they were and what
iney were aoout, anu Kept d nK.
At length on the mon.ing of the 4'h
of July, about 4 o'clock, the three A
mericau tars commenced t' cir celebia
tion by a bold stroke for independence,
when they were only SO miles from
Sacrificious where the French squad

steward were all on deck. Thev first
took the precaution to lor k the door of
the cabin, thus lastenetung in the lieu
tenant commandant, and put the hatch
over, the forecastle the captain then
went up to the man at the wheel, and
placing his finger in such a way as to
reseotDie a pistol, swore he would blow
his brains out if he did not instantly put
the helm down. The fellow obeyed and
was tied. Three others, who weie on
deck, were also "lit on," tied down
and secured. Tbe other four who were
in tbe furccaitlf, were ordered up and
as they came! up one by -crie, thvy ,T.V

thus so completely re-taking hi vessel
without bloodshed, with a, force of three

to have met with but little resistance.
