We have wholly disproved these allegations be
fore, but we now have "a second Daniel crne to
judgment," who so completely annihilates these
specific charges, that nothing is left of them hut
their malice. A kind friend at Washington has for
warded us the Emancipator" of April 19thtbe
vftcial organ of the Abolitioauts-the Editor -of
which seems to have the advantage or a constant
rerusol of the "Standard," and who takes ourUeigh
lor to task for intimating thai the Abolitionists pre
fer Clat to Va Bvr! We Have notapace, this
tn nuWish aH the extracts we couM! desire f
from thi incendiary jlurna, but we subjoin enough
o disprove each of the foregoing Allegations, and
Hvill recur to the subject hereafter. j
FROM THE EMANCIPATOR.
"The North Carelira Standard attempts to prove
tint Mr. (-''lay is an Abolitionist at heart, because he
U in favor of a Convention in Kentucky. Out the
Raleigh Register, a paper of much authority among
fr. Clay's supporter, avers tht Mr.Clsty is op
posed to the Kentucky Convention. And IT IS A
-F4CT THAT MOST OF THE LEADING PA
PERS IN KENTUCKY, WHICH FAVOR.MR.
'CLAY, oppose the Conventinn;that Mr. Clayfs, son,
Henry Clay, Jr., wa nverntxr of the late Legisla
ture and opposed the Convention with aH his knight;
ami that tnepftperwhich has taken the boldest stand
in fsvor of a'Conveiition, W'tfie Frankfort Argus,
the leading Van Buren paper, of which Hon.' Auios
Kendall, P. Mr Git was formerly Editor."
So much with regard to theii Kentucky Conven
tion. On the subject of the Whigs and Abolition
ists being identified, lei thereadct peruse the follow
ing from the same pj'mU I1'
"The North Carolina Standard insists that "the
Abolitionists have identified thrcasetvee vith the
party in opposition to the. Administration' This
is a mistake, many Aholiiionists arc firm sup
porters of the Aduuoistfihtion. It also says, flf we
hold an indissoluble communion with the Northern
Democracy, we are" safe." Jf the Standard means
such "Northefn Democracy" a that of Ajoasa
Walker, George Bancroft, beta WiMUnarsh Aud
Amos Farnworth, in Massachusetts, of E.D Bar- !
1er, in Vermont, or Dutee J. Pearce, in Rhode" Is
land, or the Evening Post in New York, -or Thos.
Morris and Robert Stewart, in Ohio, we think so
too. Will the Editor of Hue Standard do as the fa
vor to read the whole of tir first pa gel He; wi4l
see that he has misjudged both the object and the
policy of Abolitionists, and is acting as sagacious a
part as the physician who tried to cure the headache
by calling it tizza rizzarazon."
The reader need not be told that the above, rnost
of them at least, are leading Abolitionists. ;The
Mr. Morris, referred to, is the United States Sena
tor from Ohio, who is as wild a fanatic as Garrison
ir Tappan, and who recently introduced a set of
Resolutions 'into the Senate, on the subject oHSla
very, which was justly termed the "Manifesto pif the
Abolitionists."
We must content ourself yf the present, with
the following extract, io reference to tbe charge
that Mr. Clay's course in ihfi Senate has conciliated
the Abolitionists: . I
We are a Whig, and verted with the Whigs fnd
wewih timely to iuftrm4he Wbig,- that the Pres-ulcnt-of
the American Colonization Society never

whole earth, he nay there exercise bis ofiioe. in all
fts mmuttaa, tut if he stay here, Martin r un btiren

One.weiild think this was definite enough to con-
inte even the 'Standard." that the zeal of Us Ee
tor has-outstripped his prudeuce. - .r budget is
9t,rhowever, emptied. Othr extracts will be given

.WHAT NEXT! j
What will the Administration do in the present
Emergency? .'.Its humbugs hare been' exploded, pne
yifier the other, in regular order. The la.t of themr
Ibe 8ub Treasury Scheme, has received a mortal
Mow. in the result of the Connecticut and N. York
jEleclions. Will the Administration do nothing, or
wtll tUcy hunt up a fresh subject to bamboozle the
he opta with? We are decidedly of opinion, that in
phis case,-as in all others, honesty is the best policy,
arid that the best thing the President can do, will
be to tclhCongress and the people, that he had un
dertaken a business about which he knew nothing
and that the whole had turned out a Boost lannta
ble failure. This course would get Mr. Van Bu
ren a character for honesty a very desirable thing
or a public man in these times. But, as we have
10 expectation that this will he done, we would
suggest to the powers that be, a Piat-iba Curbe-
r. Let the Globe but strike p the tune, aod ail
he Presses of the party wil) icespond, and the aopg
ill last at least until the Fail Elections are over.
etthe people be told that (the Emperor Nicholas
as a flatina Currency, and. therefore, that the
hief Magistrate of .these United States ought to
pave it likewise. The Glob a can depict (the vast
benefits to flow fcoai it,, .and the .articles which,
fbilom, appeared in Jthat paper n tixe subject of the
'Gold Currency," will' answer most . admirably,
nvtatis mutandis, o bobUer xxp this new scheme.
pJne thing is certain--eyery thorough paced party

MR. MARTIN'S LETTER. .
In this paper will befound a Letter, recently ad

STEAM PACKETS.
The arrival at New York of the Siritu and Wes
tern, Steana Vessels, from England, has created a
great sensation. The former was only 18 days out,
and the latter 14 ! London dates to the 6th inst.
were received. No doubt the time will arrive, when
the voyage will be made in ten days. .
BANK CONVENTION.
We stated in Our last, that the Bank Convention
had finally agreed upon the first Monday in Janua
ry as the period for the resumption of specie pay
meat. The vote on the question of resumption, as
far as the various States were concerned, was as fol
lows :
Yeas. Nays.
Maine, New York,
Vermont, v Mississippi,'
Massachusetts,
ABSENt,
N. Hampshire,
Pennsylvania,
Maryland,
ftuuth Carolina,
Georgia,
Ohio,
Ken'ocky,
Tennessee,
Alabama,
Michigan.
Rhode Island,
Connecticut,
Nw Jersey,
Delaware,
District Columbia,
Virginia,
North Carolina,
Indiana,
Illinois,
Missouri.
We are glad te learn, as we do from competent
authority, that North-Carolina voted throughout for
the earliest day.. Indeed, we have long known, that
our Banks were prepared to resume, the tuoflwnt
the Virginia Banks commenced. But Virginia is
dependant upon the Baltimore Banks and they up,
on the Philadelphia Banks, so that, it turn out,
that the moment for resumption depends entirely
upon the Philadelphia Bank. Wbetkever Uiey com
Jueuce, there wiil be a simultaneous res&mption by
all the Bunks, at least as far South as North. Caro
lina, including, of course, our owrAvBaoks. There
is no telling, therefore, with certainty, when a rt
sumption may be calculated on. Jt may be next
week, or, it may not be as early as the day recom
mended by the Convention, viz January, 1839.
All depends, as above stated, on the' Philadelphia
Banks. The Virginia Banks are not compelled to
resume before April, 1839 a re-ceut Act of the
Legislature having granted them immunity until
that time. In like manner, the Maryland Banks
are protected until January 1839, or until 30 days
after .the Virginia Banks resume. But as it is the
interest of all the Banks to commence operations as
aoo.n as ;hey can, consistent with safety, they will,
of course, avail themselves jof the .first favorable op
portunity for doing so.
PUBLIC LAN0S,
It .will be recollected that, in a Speech made in
Congress by Mr. Behtok, a few Sessions ago, he
declared, unreservedly, that it was useless for tke-
Old States to trouble ihemseJmes about the Public
Domain, for that Uie new States would eventually
have it, and on their own terms. Thislhxeat seem
in a fair wy of being realized, and we have so often
invoked the Old State to rise in their might," and
assert their rights on this subject, that we almost
despair of seeing them assume the staud which tQey
ought.
i
A biil has just passed the Senate of the United
States, (hastily announced in our last) to reduce
and graduate the price of the Public, Lands. We
annex the vote, from which it will be seen, that one
of the Senators, sent to Washington to represent
the interests of North-Carolina, voU-d for the bill,
and the other dodged the question ;

The bill provides iha,t all the public lands of the
U. States which shall then remaua junsold, .after hav
ing been offered at private sale, at one idnllar and
twenty-five cents per acre, for five years, shall be
subject to entry at $1 per acre, and all lands vhich
shall have been so offered for ten years, shall be
subject to entry at $1 per acre for 12 months after
the said 31st day of December, 1838, and after that
time the same shall be subject to .entry at the price
of 75 cents "pr acre. ;
PURITY OF ELECTIONS.
Gen. Jacksoh laid it down as a fundamental
principle, that the patronage of tlie Government
should not be brought to interfere with the freedom
of Elections. Mr. Jeffehsok, in a Circular ex
pressly Jocbade ,the Officers of the Government from
interfering with Elections; yet, it is a fad well
known, that Mr. Vajt Buben relies for re election
upon the influence of the patronage of the Govern
ment, and the direct aid of the Federal Officers.
No party, but a reforming party, has ever yet de
feated, or ever can defeat, the Executive candidate.
The reform -candidate, to be successful, must be a
ble to command the confidence of the people; they
must believe that reform will be something more
than a mere change of the favorites of one man for
those of another. They must believe .that he will
administer the Government as a. great public trust,
and tq.t as the means of rewarding paXtizans.

have succeeded fn this strong Administration fast

a great Whig gaim We may receive definite in
formation, as to the issue, in time for a Postscript.
Another great Victory!
Rhod Isiakd has gone fur the Whigs in every
department of the Goveitaroent, and the Locos have
been roated borse, foot and dragoon ! The Whigs
have elected their Governor, Council, Legislature
and alt A Whig Senator Is thus secured. The
Loco Focos In 18136, had a majority of 41 on joint
ballot of the Legislature Now the Whigs outnum
ber tluPtn by 25. The Providence Journal iays.- -"
The proper comparison of relative strength is the
Gubernatorial Canvass. In 1836, Mr B urges was
defeated by a majority of 889 votes. Compare the
present with that and it exhibits a gain of fifteen
hundred votes for our Governor,. Compare the
Senatorial Ticket, and it exhibits a gain of eighteen
hundred.
.Was there ever any thing kke the present sue
leases of the Whigs ! It is jike a triumphal pro-,
cession from M"ne to Geoigia, each State vieing in
its endeavors to outdo the other in honoring the oc- .
ration. How .can any Van Buren man so harden j
his heart to the signs of the times, as potto perct-ive
that something is u rotten in Denmark," when whole
States, as if by tlie word of command, thus .wheel

17. S. ARSENAL.
The Fayetteville Observer contains a detailed ac
count of the ceremonies, attending the laying the
Corner Stone of the United States A rsenal at that
place. We have only room for the following, ex
tracts ;
The Arsenal will be beautifully located on Hay
Mount, overlooking the whole town, on a high, dry,
and healthy spot. The land connected with it is
about 75 ares of which, a square 500 feet will
be enclosed within a hnck wall, xarmountcd by an
iron railing, and within this wall the principal build
ings will be placed. The Arsenal Building, to be
150 feel long by 55 wide, will occupy the centre
of the square, the Officers quarters the Eastern
front, next the, own, and the numerous workshops
wil he disposed op the Northern, Southern, and
Western sides of the square. The drawing of the
whole, fey Mr. Bell, exceed in beauty any thing of
the kind that we have seen. An immense quanti
ty of materials has already been coIJeid. and in
part prepared, consisting of lumber, brick, and (-tone.
Seme of the blocks of stone weigh from 4 to 5 tons.
They are obtained in the vicinity of the town.
It was a subject of universal regret, that Gov,
Dudley, who was expected in town on that day, on
his way from Wilmington to Raleigh, did not ar
rive. Without being aware of the preparations
made to welcome him. he had taken another route.
The-citizens, without distinction of party., had uni
ted in the proposed tribute of respect.
THE LATE DUEL.
We had hoped that the excitement on this sub
ject was subsiding, but a new and. unfavorable turn
has, we fear, been given to it. For the present, we
content ourselves with the proceedings of tbe House
of Representatives on the sulyect;
Mr. Toucey, from the Select Committee on the
late Duel, by leave, made a Report, the considera
tion of which he moved, should be postponed to
two weeks from Monday next, nnj Ue printed. He
said this motion was made by tbe unanimous order
of the (,'oinmit'ec. ,
This Report not having been ordered to be prin
ted, we are enabled, however, to state generally, that
its conclusion are, that Mr. Wine on account of h.s
paiticipation iii Hie duel, is deeply involved in a
breach ot the privileges of the House, and is deserv
ing of ce:isure by tbe House ; that Mr. Jones is also
involved irva breach of the privileges of the House,
and also deserving of censure. In regard to other
persons, accessaries or spectators, (except as fol
lows,) the Committee couteuls itself with stating.
fact and evidence, without recommending any ac
tion. From tbe Globe of Saturday night we ob
tain the following quotation from the Report :
From the Globe,
la relation to Mr. Graves, the recommendation is
in tbe following words:
"Tlie Committee, therefore, viewing the breach
of the rights and privileges of tbe House, on the
part ot Mr. Graves, to have been an otfence of this
high character, against the vital principle of a de
liberative assembly aud of representative Govern
ment, leel constrained, by a sense of duty, to pie-
sent to the House a Resolution that he be expelled
therefrom.
la conclusion, the Report says :
" The Comniitiee entertain no doubt that James
Watson Webb has been guilty of a breach of the
privileges of .the House, but tney also concur unani
mously w the opinion, that it ttere be any real
grbuud to believe that a conspiracy to assassinate
actually existed, as set forth iu that atrocious iiaier
drawn up by him, signed by Daniel Jackson and
yvuiuun Mvreil, sworn to by the latter, aud pub
lished in the Kew York Courier and Enquirer, he
be lelt to the chastisement of the Courts ot Law and
public opinion, and'that the House wil. consult its
own dignity and public interests by bestowing upon
him no further notice.''
Mr. Grennell, in behalf of himself and Mr. Ran
den, membvrs of the Committee, ptesenied a written
statement of their views, which necked might be
printed with the report.
Mr. Elmore, not being able to agree either in thfi
report of the majority or minority asked leave to
present in writing his views, and that this paper
migtit be printed with the rest.
Mr. Fillmore called for the reading of the Reso
lution, if any, which the majority of the Committee
ha,d reported to the House. t
Mr. Boon moved that the House adjourn, which
motion prevailed. ,
A SEVE.RE REBUKE.
Perhaps no man could so severely inflict the cas-.
tigation of reproof as the Poet, lie?. The fol
lowing Anecdoie will iluistcate this fact. Ono night
at a Tavern in Dumfries, the conversation turning
on the death of a townsman, and the approaching
funeral, one of the company, not celebrated for the
purity of his life, said to Buuks : " I wish y ou
would lend me your black coat for the occasion, ray
own being rather out of repair." 44 Having myself
to attend the same funeral," answered Brass, '
am sorry that I cannot lend you iny sables but
recommend a most excellent substitute ; throw your
character over your jhtMldersihski will be the
blackest coat you ever w,ore in your lifetime,"

A ilhaa parsed the Senate,' making it penal to
pass the note'f the old Bank of the United States,
its charter having expired. It gave rise to a spicy
debate, being resisted by Prksto and others, on
the ground of its evident unconstitutionality. Judsie
White also made an excellent Speech upon it.
during which he called up a reminiscence amusing
enough. Mr. Btsxox, in his Speech in favor of
the bill, read a letter from Gen. Jackson, denounc
ing those persons in Nashville who petitioned for a
Branch Bank of the It. S. at that place several
years ago, as "an aristocratic few." Judge White
had hunted up this Petition, audio! at the head of
the "aristocratic few,'r stood the name of Felix

says : .'From all I can learn, I do not be- 1
lifcve that the Indians have the most dis
tant idea of removing. I am informed that
they are making more improvements and
greater preparations for a crop, than they
have ever done heretofore, though that may
be owing to the fact, that the Commission
ers have heeir recently valuing their im
provements which may have stimulated
them to industry, with the expectation of
being paid for their labors. White men,
who have been among them, tell me, that
the Indians say, that they never will leave

the.same time disclaim all intention ol hght

to be the ; general impression, thut when
they hnd. that they are to be removed by
force they will retreat to the large moun

themselves during the summer season.
When then find that all their efforts to esr

that the Treaty must inevitably be entorc

then, tit is believed, that they will nght;
they will then become desperate, and sell

lias it come to this? The Washington

makes the following startling declaration :
"I am credibly informed that strong and
determined efforts have been making Acre,

out opposition in North Carolina, to Gov,
Dudley, upon, political grounds, and that a
distinguished gentleman had been designa

in th6! hands of the office holders ? Will

In Ivinston, on Saturday , tlyj 24th of March last,
Mrs. ISaitah C. Reayis consort of Turner Reavia,
and youngest daughter of tbe late John Gatlin, Eq.
Called upon but a short time since in quick suc-
cfs.-ion, tp inojcrn the 1 -ss of an afTectionate father
anl brother, she became ileeply sep ihle of t e Un
certninty ofhuman felicity of the folly of placing
her aift ctsons on the t bin 4s ot time and was fully
imressed with the importance of a due preparation
for that s ene of mconceivjble nolemuiiy lieyond the
i-rave. Though never baving made a public pn
feion of Religion, her meekness and piety convin
red all who knew her that she had passed from
death unto life. In the full possession of her fa
culties, she met death with all the calmness of a
Christian, looking forward with humble confidence
to an 'inheritance in orrOptible and undefilcd, and
which fadeth not away. C 'ttmnnini cat ed.

Mourfl science, genius, friendship ! Weep wjth
his disconsolate wife and three bereaved little chil
dren, for ilieir, and your ornament and friend, ftoetor
John H.avwood,'of Bertie, N. Cafoljua, is 1. umbered
with the dead. It is to record but half his worth,
t' say, tbeie lies the fond husband, the tender pa
rent, the faithful friend, the generous roaster, the
skilful and accomplished Physician, the qblic spi
rited and excellent citizen, who died pu tlie 18tn
instant, in Winxlwr, . tbe th aire of his''usefuhie.-.s.

of that fearful destroyer Pneummiia Tuphqitfa

hich quickly rent asunder the silver cord, and all
le delicate ties which fround him to life, and in the
tbe
niid.-t of bis usefulness and promise.
As a Graduate of the University of Pennsylvania"
in 182J. he hihlv honered his Alma Mater. Hi
fine irtte.Umci, ripened by high culture, admirably
guided b.isiuce discriminating judgment. auJ stam
ped detisiou and energy upu bis luoremenU ii
the chamber of disease ; and aided as he was by
great amenitv of manners and kindness of heart,
gavehira a hold upon the public confidence and
'affection possessed ty very f?W.. Nor ahe sur
passed by any, iii that expansrve benevolence which
imrjelled'him, reirardless of the peri's to l,U own
health, to fly, at the call, to the relief of suffering
humanity ; and to thii. ire finest chaiity of our na
ture, be finallv fell a martyr, in the prime of life,
in .the vigor of manhood, and bltst with all that
earth could bestow, to cheer him on in his career
of usefulness arid disinterestedness.
The county f Bertie-in truth, the hole State,
should mourn the loss of such a mart, for his death
is truly a public calamity.
It U however consiitins indeed, ariiid the mourn
ful circumstances of dying, to reflect, that Cbrwti
anity, though unable to divett the stroke of death,
extracts its ttinj, an J casts a flood of glory, taltght
the departing sprit in its onward flight to Us eternal

and who, though npw. far away, deeply aympauV
