In our article, last week, concerning the nomina tion of Gov. Brarch, we stated the generally-accredited report, that he is also a Candidate for a seat in the Florida Convention. We have since re ceived the following letter from a gentleman in Warrenton, which goes to confirm the statement. In laying it before the public, we would merely re mark, that the question is now fairly before the peo ple, whether they will eject from office a patriotic and meritorious citizen, devotedly attached to the in terests and institutions of our own State, whom even his opponents respect for the dignity and impartiality with which he has discharged the duties of his sta tion ; to make way for a resident of the Territory of Florida, now a candidate for office in the place of his adoption 1 whether they will sacrifice a faithful State Officer, when it is acknowledged-thai the on ly valid ground of opposition is his opinion concern ing an odious and defeated project of the Federal Administration : ! "WillEHTOK, N. C. cGEicTtSME3r : As great excitement exists relative to the Gubernatorial Election, and as many question the fact that Gov. Branch is a. candidate for a seat in the Convention to form a Constitution for the Territory of Florida, allow me to put the question ,to rest, by stating that the Marshal of that Territo ry (Samuel Duvall) passed through this place to day, and publicly stated that he was a Candidate in thai Territory for that purpose, and although he-a-vered that he never intended to dispose of his resi dence at Enfield, still the citizens of Florida look ed upon him as one of her citizens, and he thought he would be liberally supported. Allow me here now to state that the Loco Foco party are using every means to further his election, and are using the most vile, underhanded and insidi ous measures to defeat Gov. Dudley. To-day it was prit!y asserted that Gov. Dudley had in a letter to Wm. H. Haywood, jr., ordered a reprieve before a Jury had pronounced the sentence of guilty. These facts I give to you in candor, in a short way you may use them as you choose. W. 8. R." &j The statement that Gov. Dudley ordered a reprieve before the sentence of the Jury was de lved, is satisfactorily confuted by an article in an other eoto, republished from the Stab. SALE OF CHEROKEE LANDS.

TRICKS OF. THE ENEMY. Perhaps no surer evidence can be found, of the waning prospects of the party in power, than the spiteful application of objectionable catch-names to their opponents. This species of political warfare, unjust as it is uncourteous, discloses an inability to meet and confute argument by fair means, and is only resorted to, when defeat or'despair overwhelms ingenuous reasoning. But a few months ago, the Whigs were stigmatised by their opponents, as 2VW- lijiers, seeking to dissolve the bands of Union, from sectional feelings and local attachments. They were then represented as over-earnest in adherence to Southern interests, and too zealous in defence of Southern institutions. Even at the late Congress ional Election, Mr. Graham, the Whig candidate in this District, was charged with Nullification by the Van Buren organ, and an attempt made to identify his supporters with that party. This flimsy trick was combatted by the Whig papers, and the charge proved to be unfounded ; still io feelings of justice could prompt their adversaries to retract the imputa tion. Now, however, when the acknowledged cham pion of Nullification has " marched off" from his "late allies," and taken a prominent position among their opponents, and when many of his proselytes have ranged themselves by the side of their leaden not even a; whisper is breathed by these consistent sentinels, of I be 44 coalescence of the Whigs and Nul lifies Nullification has now been shorn of hor rors remodeled by the magic touch-stone of " De mocracy!" It is no longer heresy and treason to act with the 4 South-Carolina Junto but the Whig who now dares to raise his voice against the mis chievous measures of a faithless Administration who possess independence enough to prefer the old and well-tested financial policy of Washington, Jefferson and Madison, to the new-fangled experiments of Jackson, Van Buren and Benton is to le loaded with-another opprobrious epithet, as short-lived as the former. " FederaUsC is now the watchword croa ked forth by those who endeavor to perpetuate their own ascendancy by misrepresenting the motives of their opponents. Emanating from the head quarters of authority" and intrigue (the Globe) it has been eagerly caught at by its echoes throughout the coun try, until every political whipster and newsmonger thinks himself honoured by a second-handed repeti. lion. We greatly overrate the spirit and intelligence of the people, however, if these partisan sticklers do not find them incapable of being 44 ravished by the empty whistling of a name," or led astray by such time serving pretences. IMPROVEMENT OF OUR SEA-COAST. We have before us a Report transmitted to Con gress in May last, by James Kkakxet, 44 the Engi neer charged with making a survey, with a view to determine the practicability of opening an inland communication for steam navigation, from the Chesa peake Bay to Charleston." The object of the work is to provide a passage for the accommodation of the coasting trade of the Union in peace, and its pro tection during war. The Engineer reports, that the practicability and importance of the work are unques tionable. Although the surveys are unfinished, the Report presents in strong terms the advantages to be derived from the accomplishment of the work. The Engineer says " The coast between Beaufort, .North-Carolina, and the Chesapeake Bay, for a length of two hun dred and twenty or two hundred and thirty miles, is nearly, and, in a few years, will be quite destitute of inlets capable of admitting even the smaller class of coasters. The closing of those which formerly ex isted, (and there have been at least as many as ten of them,) has leen steadily progressive. In my opinion, (and it has been long and deliberately form ed, and frequently expressed,) the maintenance of a direct navigable communication between either Al bemarle or Pamlico sounds and the ocean is imprac ticable. I purpose, in my final report, to attempt the demonstration of this proposition ; and I think I will be able to show that Ocracoke, the only inlet now capable of admitting the passage of coasters, will probably also close in a few years. This inlet, which formerly had 13 feet at low water upon its bar, was, last summer, reduced to a depth of 6 feet at ordinary high tides, notwithstanding the efforts of the Government to resist the encroachment of the sand upon it. By the storms of August, Sept., and October last, these efforts were paralyzed, and the hope of improving the inlet was abandoned." The Report then recommends a connection of the trade of the Sounds with Beaufort Harbor, assert ing that Beaufort, since the settlement of the country, has never had less than 15 or 16 feet on the bar of its inlet at high tides. It has now, perhaps, 23 feet at high tides. Certainly it has nearly that depth, and there are few Itars to the southward of it with more; at low water it has 18 feet. A navigable communication for coasting vessels would, therefore, open for the trade of a large part of North-Carolina, at least one of the best, and, taking the depth of water at low tides, the character of the bar, and the safety of the coast near it. nerhans the best Atlantic harbor south of the Chesapeake Bay." i The Report also recommends that a Canal be cut, uniting the waters of the Neuse and Cape Fear Ri vers, which would suffice to open an inland com munication for steamboats from the Dismal Swamp Canal to Wilmington, and to the Ocean. The line of the Canal is estimated at 56$ miles in length. We anxiously look forward to the day when these works may be accomplished. It has always been a source of grief and mortification to our citizens, that our sea-coast possessed such limited advantages for commercial business. The produce of North-Caro lina has heretofore found its way to the sea-uorts of the neighboring States, to the great detriment anf-J loss of our people. This scheme of improvement, if accomplished, must operate for the better. Con centrating as it will the whole trade of the Eastern shore, and leading it to the marts of Wilmington or Beaufort, a great disadvantage will be overcome, and the commercial interest of the State be greatly bene fitted. And if the efforts of our citizens to establish a Rail-Road line from East to West, should be con summated, and the fertile production and mineral wealth of Western Carolina find an easy access to he ocean, our State will assume a new position, a greater energy will he lent to the industry of our people, and the tide of emigration, now draining off their resources, will find a lasting check. q3 We solicit the attention of the, reader to the Speech of the Hon. James Grahax, which will be found on our first page. It is a chaste and manly exposition of his views on the Cherokee question, devoid of party prejudice, and free from the harsh denunciations which characterized the efforts of many members, on this exciting subject. MANNERS AND CUSTOMS ...' We never receive Dutch Newspapers, nor could we read them if we did. We cannot, therefore, guarantee the accuracy of the following extracts, given by a writer, who cites them as curiously il lustrative of the Dutch character. "The Newspa pers, he says, "are two-thirds filled , with Adver tisements, of which the following are examples from the columns of a single Journal: ''To our friends and acquaintances We, the un dersigned, are married." Then come the advices of births, most of which tell the world that the lady has been brought to bed ot a 4well-f haped child.' Of these, all are sign ed by the husband, and they sometimes pour out a flood of affection on the lady. But the manner of publishing deaths, is the most singular, as for in stance; 'To-day, after a sickness of ten days, departed my beloved wife She has left me and her aged mother in a state of despair. Weep with us, all who knew her weep with my children." Another -'My deeply 'loved wife died yester day. She has left me a pledge of love only three weeks old. Bitter js my sorrow." Jlsain. ,4In my old age, sorrow has overtaken me. Yesterday evening my daughter died, aged seven and forty years. Those wty knew her will know my grief. In the comforts of Religion, I put my trust." Again. 4'Our brave daughter is no more. She died last night, aged only twenty. What parents feel who, in twenty-two weeks, have lost their only, son, and their only daughter,cannot be told by words. Friends of humanity, trouble us not wilh your con solations, but shed a tear wilh us in sympathy." . Yet once more. "After a sickness of a few days, my beloved husband died to-day. Deeply afflicted with rrrv six children, I repose in the hope of his resuirection; and I beg to recommend myself for the sale of Coffee, Tea, and such matters, to the gene ral satisfaction. "CONSTITUTIONAL CURRENCY." This was the term used by Gov. Branch, in his letter of acceptance, published in our last. , It will lie seen by the following Extract from Mr. Gar land's speeth, delivered in the House a week or two since, that the Ex-Governor alludes to no other project than the Sub-Treasury system, which he has thought proper, however, to introduce with a more imposing title . "I have heard much, Mr. Chairman, in the course of this debate, much said of the 4 Constitutional Currency.'1 Yes, sir, the 44 Constitutional Cur rency !" Now, sir, if the word currenty is any where written in the Constitution, it has escaped my research, although most vigilantly made. If it any where prescribes a currency, I have not seen it. I can find in the Constitution the power to "coin money and regulate the value thereof," and to "regulate the value of foreign coins ;" but I can not find a single sentence which makes gold and silver the exclusive currency of the country. I can find in the Constitution that the States are pro hibited from making any thing .but gold and silver a legal, (that is compulsory), tender in payment of debts ; but I can no where find that any man is pro hibited from receiving payment in any medium which he chooses. What then is currency 1 any thing which has credit enough to, give it circulation, whether bank notes, bills of exchange, bonds or notes of hand. Circulation, not money, constitutes currency, and I do nt perceive .hat the Constitu tion prohibits any man or set of men, from giving currency to any species of obligations which credi tors are willing to receive. Such a power would have clogged and embarrassed commercial operations to a great degree, and have been 'a- most arbitrary and despotic prohibition. Gentlemen forget that there is a material difference between willingness and compulsion, and that, although the Constitu tion may have most wisely protected the people from the compulsory receipt of any medium but gold and silver, that it would have been very un wise to have prohibited that which they were will ing and preferred receiving. 1 nis principle of a constitutional currency has crept into the dogmas of political orators, but can no where be found in the letter or spirit ot the Constitution ; and when I hear the term "constitutional currency" used, about which the Constitution is entirely silent. and which it could not prescribe, I always conclude that he who uses it, is making, and not interpret ing the Constitution. For, sir, in these latter days, we readily find constitutional terms in partisan vo cabularies, which can no where be found in that wise but much abused and perverted instrument. " RESUMPTION BY THE BANKS. Gov. Ritxxr, of Pennsylvania, has issued his Proclamation, requiring the Banks of that State to resume Specie payments on or before the 13th of August next. This is an important step, as it is generally conceded that the Banks of the Middle and Southern States will shortly follow suit. As stated in our last, the Philadelphia Banks had pre viously agreed to resume on the first of August. This Proclamation enforces that decision, and also extends the requisition to the Banks throughout the Slate. ; n j v PARTY DEFINITIONS. U Abolitionist.'

The resolutions likewise state that in the event of the approbation of this pro ject, committees will be formed to collect subscrip tions among Printers only, to carry it into effect. The City of Washington is recommended as the most suitable spot for the location of the monument. ABOLITION RIOT. Another disgraceful affair, originating in Aboli tionism, occurred in Illinois a few days since. It grew out of an -attempt by two citizens of Missouri, to recover their run away, slave?. The negroes were armed and took shelter in a thicket. When sur rounded by the citizens, one of them discharged a rifle, by which one of the whites was dangerously wounded. 1 he other fugitive, seeing that resistance was vain, gave himself up to his owner; but a par ty of Abloitionists interfered to prevent his master frpm carrying him off. From words the parties proceeded to blows, and in the confusion, the own cr secured his slave and carried him from the ground. The parties were left fighting, and how the affair terminated is not known. MR. CALHOUN. . Mr. Calhoun being invited to attend the Van Buren celebration on the 4th of July, at Philadel phia, in his letter of apology for not attending, &c , sent the following toast : 44 uy tne Hon.

(fj We are glad to be able to state that the rumor, by way of Elizabethtown, (Tennessee,) of the ex plosion of a Steamboat, with the loss of many lives, turns out, as we hojed it would, to be, if not wholly unfounded, very much exaggerated.

At the celebration of the 4th July, in Charlottes ville, much interest was added lo the ceremony of reading, the Declaration of Independence, by its be ing read from the original draft, in the hand wri ting of Mr. Jefferson. A sale of Durham cattle took place in the neigh borhood of Cincinnati, a few days ago, the aggregate proceeds of which were about $28,000. One fine bull old for'l,450 ; one cow sold for $975 ; another cow and calf for $1,075 5 another cow $1,000; a heifer, a year old, sold for $850 ; the balance for various pTrices, ranging from $37$ up to $800. The South Carolina Legislature, says Prentice, passed but two acts at their late session: one to build a city, the other to destroy a country, (i. e. intstructing their senators in Congress to vote for the Van Buren sub-Treasury.")

We make, art -extract which it seems to us, cemteys the tfue doc trine on the subject, expressed briefly, but clearly and forcibly. " Now liberty, I think, both civil and rein gious, is to be defined as of a negative rath- a.1 a. er uian a positive quality, u l may use sucn expressions, it consists in wnat cannot be done to the individual, rather than in an un restrained license given to the individual to do and sav what he rhnosfis- That is a free community in regard to civil , rights,) not wnere every man cian do what he likes, and sajr of, or to, his neighbor, whatever his passions or prejudices may prompt him to say; but where no man even the hum' blest, can be injured in person, property,or character, by afty other man even the high est, without ample redress, and sure protec tion from the laws.

Orleans ; but it can hardly be pleasant, if the situation of the editor of the Merchant may be taken as a fair specimen. He de scribes himself as " sitting in the small cor ner of a small room in the third story of a big house, with a hot atmosphere around him, the hum of a thousand musquitoes in his ears, and no cool drink any where with in his reach thirteen of the said mosquitoes and five huge gallinippers being all the time on his left arm, and the compositors wait ing for copy." The Last Thief The most impudent and perfect achievement in the art of thiev ing tnat we have lately heard of,was related to us a few days since, as follows : At a laborers boarding house, where it is customary, in warm weather, for the men to leave their coats in the entry while at mealSj a thief took it into his head to make an excursion one day while all hands were busy at dinner. Accordingly he reconnoi tered the passage way, saw a good variety of coats and jackets, some new, some half worn, &c. &Ci, all of which hd gathered into his arms, arid carelessly commenced making his exit. Just as he was about to cross the threshold, the man of the house, who was late at dinner, arrived at the door. "What are you doing with those coats ?' said the landlord. I'm taking 'em to my shop, sir. And what for V The gentlemen want to gctcm scotifed, sir replied the thief. 01 then if that's all, said the landlord, I believe my coat tfant9 sCoilringarid ydu may taking It along too. 9 So saying he doffed his garment, han ded it over to the thief, and proceded to his dinner. The surnrtse of the boarders when they went to don their habiliments, arid the confusion of the landlord in giving his statement, may well be imagined r " - March of Mind. An honest fafraer in the State of Pennsylvania married a Miss from a fashionable boarding school for his second wife. He was struck dumb with her eloquence, and gaped with wonder at his wife's learning : You may (said he) bore a hole thro the solid airth, and chuck in a millstone, and she'll tell you to a shavin how long the stone will be goin clean threw. She has larnt kimistry and cockneyology and talks a heap about ox hides and comical infinates.

An awkward man.- It is not unusual in life to see an awkward man making a false step. He attempts to recover himself, and makes another :4he second is followed by a third, and down he comes. Here is an anecdote as an illustration of successive awkward positions : A gentleman said , to. Lord North, Pray my Lord who isf that ugly woman isitring there?

Since that time, the numerous Factories put in operatiou, in this State have not only stopped tlje importation of Yarns, but produced a surplus for exporta tion.
