A modern ruler may see something in the late movements of the People, to re mind him of this sudden subversion, of fancied strength and security. He had frequent causes mentally to exclaim: "Keep the People back!" But "stillJthey come." From Maine to Georgia,"' the rebellious Spirit of the "democracy of num bers" has been manifested. From the wilds of Arkansas to the green mountains of Vermont, the thrilling voice of regene rated millions has been borne on the pass ing breeze: Neither the promises of gold, nor the mandates of a stern chieftain have been sufficient to "keep the People back." They have rushed to the rescue of a, vio lated Constitution they have gathered in their strength, and sundered the shackles of a stupefying idolatry. AVitness the work of regeneration. - In Maine, a State begirt with custom houses, -arid overrun with Government stipendiaries, a majority, of 10,000 for the Administration has been overcome, and the Whigs have triumphed by 500 majority. . Rhode Island, small as she is, has mustered 1,000 for the cause vbf sound principles, and stands forth . among the brave and the free. In New.

Last year the Van Burep majority in the Legislature was 28; now it is but 12.

We do not of course presume that the Loco Foco, of the present day is an atheist and contemner of all social rules, as were the famous levelers Robert Owen and Fanny Wright with many of their followers; yet they seem to seek the entire destruction of interest, that stroriffest of all the ties which hold society together. ' They con-? tend that all banks corporations ana mo nopolies are unconstitutional; that there ought to be no money but gold and silver; that credits ought to be abolished, and no man coinnelled bv law to pay his debts; that all distinctions in society, whether of natural or adventitious origin, should be done a way. and so forth ad vocatinff a state of things which history has never shown to exist, and which experience and reflection teach us never can -exist, only I - with anarchy and confusion. ". ' The elements of modern Loco Focoism have been found every where, and in all . J. . . . P . .. agPS probably, since the mstituUon of civil (society, in the Agrarian of ancient Rome, the Leveller of France, &c, down to the Loco Foco of the present day. But in its present political relation to the people of ' a, a the United States, we think its principles are imbibed and disseminated principally, by a set ot men at the IMorth. Uwing to some peculiar circumstances attending our situation and civil institutions at the bouth, we mmti mere is utile oi tne essence oi Loco Foco-ism among us; and we trust to the mteiiiffence and high teeling ot our fellow citizens that "it -may always be so. Southern Citizen. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. Nem' York, Nov. 4. The past week has brought us news 13 days later from Europe. The arrival of the Liverpool packet of the 8th was im- a . a mediately succeeded by the Havre packet. Both packets sailed on the 13th October, which makes our news late from EnglanH, France, and the Continent.

New Cotton, during the week, has brought 13i, and the old Cotton between 8 and 13 cents. But 700 or. 800 bales of Cotton are now in the city, and this none of the best quality. We have ho news in the city. The Lo co Focos are stirring heaven and earth . for the coming election, which begins on Mon day. We are to have a three days revo lution and a hard fight.

It is a very plausible and takinff : encomium, which we are. fond, ef hearing : from the tongues of our flatterer; that this is the asylum ot the oppressed and unhaDpv of all other climes ; but we have been wheedted . and beguiled by the Siren song, until we are likely to be ousted out ot our Own inheritance. , What should we think of the wisdom or the humanity of that man who should allow a set of hungry pa rasites to praise him for hisnoble and un bounded hospitality, until, smitten with the dulcet notes, he should throw open his doorg, and proclaim a1 welcome to every person that wanted a dinner, and allow a rush of rlide intruders to jostle away from the table, where they were seated, his own family, and leave them nothing but windy compliments instead of their just portion of nourishing food ? Yet, the American peo ple are now enacting the part of this pre posterous householder. Foreigners, new come arid selfish, rule us, by throwing their weight into the scale of demagogues, while the real lovers of their country, sick of the loathsome spectacle, are ready to resign the ineffectual struggle, and to begin to question "ie practicability ol popular Government. In the midst of these sad auguries, the chris- t.ian Patriot finds his only relief in the pro tecting sovereignty of that almighty Being . who stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves and the tumult of the people." In the same Article, too, will be found some most Valuable remarks on the subject of 44 the Right ot Instruction, as it is call ed remarks, which recent eyents render peculiarly seasonable, and commend to the careful consideration oi every constituent and every Representative. They set this matter in its true light and the reader will perhaps meet here with views more sasra- cious and profound than shave occurred to him before, and have reason to give up his former crude sentiments on that moment ous subject.

An adjourned meeting of the Stockholders of this Institution, was held oq Monday last. Col. Ailex Roo bhs, sen. was called to the Chair. The Trea surer ofthe Bank (Judge Cameuon) submitted a detailed statement; of the condition of the Bank. when , the following Resolutions were unanimously adopted, and the meeting adjourned to the 24th inst. viz : . Resolved, That a final Dividend of the Capital Stock and effects of this Bank shall be paid to the Stockholders, or their lawful Representatives, on and after the first Monday ra December next, at the Bank ofthe State of North Carolina, in the City of Kaleigh, on surrendering the Certificates held by them to be cancelled. ' nesoivea, mat tne xreasrjrer oi this .13 an ft re deem, or cause to be redeemed, at the Bank of the State, the outstanding Notes issued by this Bank and its Branches, until the 24th of this month (No vember) inclusive, and no longer ; and that the Pre sident ofthe Bank give notice thereof in the news papers printed in this City. Resolved, that Messrs. Weston R. Gales, Alfred Jones, George W. Mordecai, David W. Stone and .Duncan Cameron be, and they are hereby appoin ted a Uommittee to examine the statement of the condition of the Bank laid before this meeting by its treasurer, and the Books of the same, and re port to an adjourned meeting of the Stockholders to be held on the 4th Monday in this month, the precise ampunt of the final Dividend, to be paid on each share of Stock. As some anxiety is doubtless felt as to the amount of the Dividend to be finally declared,' we think we are justified in stating that it will be about 'six per cent. Eighty-eight per cent, has already been paid, and the forthcoming Dividend will probably increase the value of die Shares to $94 each. 1 MILITARY! On Tuesday last, Gert. D. S. Chkxshaw, attend ed by Col. Mixoux and Maj. Fle.mihg, reviewed the two Regiments of "Wake County Militia, in this City. The day was uncommonly fine, and we have rarely, if ever, seen a larger assemblage of our County men. The interest ofthe day was a good deal heightened by the appearance, on the field, of His Excellency, the Governor of the Statewho, in compliance with the wishes of the General, united in the ceremonies ofthe occasion. - At the close of the Review, the Regiments were addressed by Gen. Cremshaw in a neat harangue, in which the rela. tive duties -of Officers' and Soldiers were well pour tray ed and zealously enforced. Gen. .C. is, we presume, the most youthful Officer of his rank in the United States, having just reached his 21st year ; but he has the bearing of a soldier and the manners of a gentleman. A new Volunteer Company, with neat Uniform, under the command of Capt. Stkfhki Stxvxxsos, made its flm appearance, and contributed greatly to the effect of the Parade. The members seem to have great, military pridet are well drilled, and march with the precision of veterans. They are called " The Wake Guards." At a Court Martial, the day previous, Wibiiam A. Williams was elected Colonel, W. S. iD. Hotchisgs, Lieut. Colonel, and Wm. Thomas, Major of the &5th Regiment, and Joshua. Rogebs, Lieut. Col. and Wiilib Popx, Majoi of the 36th jwegimem. UNITED STATES FORCE OF EXAMPLE. It is often said that the eyes of the world are di rected towards America; and we may add, that they are fixed upon us. with a more and more intense interest. Thousands there are, in every enlightened nation of the world, who are hoping that their com munities may enter upon the. same or a similar career, and they are naturally looking to us as the fore-runners in the great, race of political freedom. The adyocates of despotic rule are as eagerly watch ing for our failure. They, say that it is all very fair in theory, but wilt prove to be impracticable in the experiment. If it does prove impracticable, if the experiment does fail, a shock will be given to the hopes of political liberty, for which no man may dare to answer. -What did we aay t Rather, for which every man in this country .shall bitterly an swer, in the overwhelming anarchy and misery that will follow, Nay more if failure and overthrow do await the experiment here, the guilt as well as the rain win be our own. The fault will not be in our Stars, npr in our circumstances, but in ourselves. The ruin will, come, because we would not arouse ourselves to provide against it ; because we would not see the signs of the Ume ; because our Press and our conversation did not hold the right Ian guage, and because ourpracticedid not conform to it. , BANK CONVENTION This meeting is to take place in Ne v , the ?7th inst. and the object is to confer as a?

Carolina (Mr. trapge) speak of oar whole Banking syehj as an absurdity, and say that it would be lookej back upon by those who shouldcomeafter us, with as much astonishment as we took uponthe South Sea Bubble. To hear such sentiments in this en lightened age, with the immensely beneficial effect of the Credit System before our eyes, ahd with the testimony Of all Europe in its Javor to hear such sentiments expressed on the floor of the Senate, filled him with such, astonishment &s he could not express consistently with! the respect that he felt for that honorable Senator. He could therefore only say f 'Tis Strange, 'tis passing Strange' ; A paragraph has been going the rounds oftlie rress, taken Irom the iew York Journal of Com merce, relative to the treatment which the citizeni on the-coast of North Carolina bestowed on the sur i vora ofthe passengers in the Home" which wo are glad to state, the Newbern Spectator, from informa tion received from the mouths of the sufferers them selves, pronounces to be M a thrsue of unmitigated and scandalous falsehood" The Spectator re marks: " We conversed with nearly all tht passengers who escaped, ay sixteen out of the twenty, and every one of them eharged the pilfering that a done, and which was not extensive, to the crew alone. Any editor who will make such a charge as the one alluded to against our innocent community, on the authority of a "waiter" and a Mr. Mather, richly deserves to have his ears cropped. We hopo the citizens of Washington will demand from Capt. Curtis, on his return, his knowledge of the facts which he so boldly assisted in promulgating in New York to the disgrace of this community." THE WANDERING PIPER. This- eccentric individual who spent several years in the United States, visiting every hole and corner in it for the purpose of performing on his Pipes, and with a liberality, never before equalled, disposing of the proceeds of his exhibition for charitable pur. loses, has returned to England and published a Card. In this he states that the object of his wanderings was to deciJe a heavy wager which grew out of a controversy between a party of American and British gentlemen, over their wine after dinner, as to the relative hospitality and liberality of England, Ireland and America. To test the question, he determined, in the guise of a Piper, to visit personally the coun tries in question, Jle is now about re-visiting por tions of England and Iieland, and when his task it done, his name and rank are to be 'disclosed. He states in his -Card, that, in. America, he collected $27,600 every cent of which he expended or be stowed on Charitable Institutions. FOREIGN WHEAT. Our Consul at Laguyra, J, G. A.

This important Election for Members of the Stat Legislature commenced on Monday last, and closed on Wednesday. It would be hoping too mnch to anticipate a Whig triumph, but we do confidently expect a great Republican gain. Partial accounts may reach us probably, in time for a Postscript. ARKANSAS.
