HON. EDWARD STANLY. TbU promising and patriotic young gentle man seems to hare acquired for himself an unusual ahare of the abuse, and spleen, and incurred this misfortune too (it it be a mis fortune) at a rery early period of hia publio life; he has been in Congrees but two sess ions, and yet every administration P0. P per from the mountains to tho ocean, la chir ruping moat Tociferoualy againat him. W hy all this clamor and vituperation! Has Mr. Stanly violated any publio pledge! Hat he neglected any public duty ! Ha he commit. tj public or private ofleuce, to entitle him to all thin calumny and ahuse! - If he bat, we hare yet to be apprised of the cir cumstance. His character, both as a public aervaul and as a private gentleman, not only stands fair, a far as our knowledge of him extends.-but unreproaclied and uuimpeacha ble. But it seems he has- committed, thus early in his political career, the mortal of fence of goring some of the administration, bullies. He has planted a thorn in the pil lows of some of their prominent leaders, which will not be easily withdrawn) and he bas also'given decided evidences of a degree of courage, apirit and talent w hich menaces the administration and its parasites with a great deal ot trouble hereafter. This is the head and front of his offending, and he has done nothing more. If he had proved him self to be an unmeaning cipher, like some of Uie administration members of Congress from As Statejif lie had proved himself to be a ; mrn drnifond imbecile, saying nothing and dSnng rrlsifiVj w distinguish himself kiid to' benefiytlie country, we rather conjecture that the administration presses would have ob served a dignified silence in retatiorr to him and hia course in Congress. It ia said that the fluttering of the pigeon will show who ia wounded, and the clamors raised by the ad ministration presses against any public man will show with social clearness. It ia not cause tor regret to a member of the Whig party to find himself visited with an unmerited share of abuse from the Vau Uiiren p.irty. I Ie has cause, on the contrary, to fel himself in the highest degree complimented. The whole history of the course and proceed ings of the Van Buren press goes to estab lish the position that Splendid talent, invin cible firmness, constant activity in the per formance of official duties, and daring reso lution in a member of Congress; ot in any oth er servant ol the. pubjic opposed to the party in power, are aucn a, ultimo aewtti oecerratr to draw4ipuaoh4ioMeS3orAhe who band of the administration, as it is certain for thebody to draw after it the nhadow. VVs have never known eveu a member of the Le tfulaturtywjho pursued art open, decided, fear less siiJmaiiTy course, who 'was "not certain" to be honored wiih a prodigal ahare of the a buse of the administration presses. We have known some men' of very decided talents and conspicuous stations, to be sure, who were the mere shadows ol independence, who were deficient in nerves and courage, and who would be scared into an ague at lisp idea of logiaiT.uifi. rraod will nfaa mnulA individual vu ueeimra, nmw iuisiauuiii(:ii tached to the Whig party, to be popular witti all parties. .They were puffed to the point of splitting their skins by Whig presses, and not blamed by Vaa Bitten presses. - But this was owing to the milk and watercourse which they pursued in politics. If they had re vealed the possesion of point, or spirit, or firmness, "or intrepidity of character, they would have become conspicuous marks for the shafts of the administration party. So wa do not conceive that Mr. Stanly has so much reason to deplore the bad taste in whiuh he has gotten with the patronage and power presses. He ought to feel himself strength iwd, consoled and animated by the circum stance, as we have no doubt he does; (or the abuse which ha receives at the band of the administration presses, hat resulted from his promising merit and from the intrepidity and talent which he has manifested in the halls of Congress. We must confess, as far as we are concerned ourselves, that we believe that the State has cause to be proud of the promise which has been put forth by her tal ented and chivalrous son. For, notwith standing he has not been so liberally puffed and applauded as some of the favored few in the State, yet we honestly regard him as one if the most promising sons of Carolina. THB.

O no! it was nothing of that sort which has sin. gled Mr. Webtier out as the victim of such a deep, conspicuous and mortal revenge.

He may have retained in office some postmaaters, aboae labor were as gitu or (rreater than tlieir pay, who weremrmbera of tha whig partr; and he mar have appointed other member of the Whi party to offices similarly situated on the senre of labor and emolument Aut there was no temptation to hurl a man limn office in the case just mentioned! for jio, person aspired to an onerous and unprofitable ligntty ot tli kinit; and the probability is, ilut bad offices of tlie kind been once vacated.' thrr would lure continued taeant. Where, then, "was the temptation to turn whig incumbents out of offices thus situated, when "there was no Van Dunn man to waiting to reeeire them at tlie baud of the Presi dent. The President deserres no credit, then, for lib erality in this particu'ar, for he acted from necess ity, perhaps, in permitting members of the Whig party to retain those ineouuderable and unprofita ble stations.
