' TlllpRE-GTSTEK. rtfOpAY, SEPT. 24 1 839. fry On Thursday last, we had the most violent torm of wind ami rain, with which we have been visited this ear. The rain fell for a considerable period in unbroken floods; the lightn'ng was vivid, and for a lime almost incessant; and the intonations of the thunder ajmost deafening. The effects are Jeckledfy ejjhilirating. jTJie Sun has his smile, without its intense fire, and the air is clear and re freshing Some damage was done by the wind. WAR AGAINST THE BANKS. We have been shown an Extia recently issued from the SxisDAHii OrncK, the object of which is to promote the effort so studiously making by the Administration to exterminate all the local Banks of the Union. This document is headed "The in-flu- noe of 829 Banks in the United States" and the Ft.ite hasi, doubtlessly, been flooded with it. It is by such means as this.', constantly kept up, that the public ra nd continues deluded. Scarcely one hand bill is digested, lefore another is ushered forth to satiate thei morbid appetite, which"' repetition of such food necessarily engenders; and partizans are tftus supplied with materials for argument, even af ter they are fairly vanquished. i The Extra, to which we allude, is composed rVefly of extracts from the Speech of Mr. Allen, a Senator fromiOhio, nd the spirit of the whole may be inferred frbm the following passage f- u Banks derive their being from Legislation. They arc of political origin. They sustain and perpein ate themselves by "reacting upon the source of their existence and therefore necessarily become an ali ment of political power. Each Bank is a monopo ly as against the cotAmunity the tommon object of 'f oliation, out all stand upon a ie-t-et in regard to , ach other as co-agenis in plunder Among them selves they are not beings of a distinct existence, tut are cohesive parts of a great system And yet, after such a wholesale anathema against the Banks, the organs of the party have the effron tery to declaf that the Administration wish well to the Banks. As well might the incendiary, who is detected in the act of applying a torch to bis neigh bor's dwelling, assert that he is using means to pro mote his welfare and happiness. The object of the Administration, let its satellites disguise it os it may, is to nut down everv local Bank in the Conntrv. I and, on their ruins, to rear up a great Government T . I ! t - t oanK,in comparison wtm wnose power, ine taie Bank of the United States was a mere pizmv. The Extra in question paints in vivid colours the rvils of over-banking, arising from the operatiousof S29 Baaks; but it omits to mention, by whose a- gncy it was, that the great increase in the number ofBanks was effected. It does not tell the people, that the Administration party increased the number ol JBanks from 300 to 800, in order to fill the chasm occasioned bv the destruction of the United States n.nir T o.o i con aaa . i "i "".

The Stawiuhd, witheut pointing toa single in stance in which we deviated in the slightest degree from truth or candor, in our last week's article, con cerning the expenses of the General Government, speaks of "the disgusting prevarication of the Reg ister and attempts by palpable shifts to back hut from the, discussion of the true question at issue. Prevarication!" Lei us see whether that term Would not better suit its employer : Mr. Graham laid hefore his constituents a Table, submitted by a responsible Officer under the Administration, ex hibiting a fearful increase in the. expenses of our Government. In attempting to divert public atten tion from the true-state of the case (or perhaps to " mislead" it) the Standard deposed; before arCin telUgeni community, that a part of the money was appropriated to the Public Printing! Its worthy scribe seemed to have forgotten (we cannot, of course, accuse him of prevarication) that the Print ing has always been paid for out of the Treasury, arid therefore furnished no plea' for sueh a rapid in crease of expenditure. Of. this we reminded the Editor, and called for a valid excuse for the profli gacy of the Government; and we promised to raise our humble voice in defence of the Administration if the Standard would show that the enormous a mount expended, according to the statement of the Secretary of the Treasury, was really required by the wants and interests of the country. This'We are told, is " prevarication !" and his offended ma jesty, with suitable dignity, ".appeal" from the pro position of the Register to " the intelligence and dis cernment of the people." Be it so : We seek no worthier tribunal no more impartial umpire. It stands admitted, then. indeed, it cannot be dispu ted that the Government now spends yearly 5 25,000,000 DO&frARS more of the people's money, than was required by Mr. ArtAMS. who was turned out of office for prodi gality That this is the case, cannot be denied ; t 's acknowledged y the Administration. The question then orcurs,ow is this money expended ? Is it demanded by the necessities of the country? This is the query wriicb we put lo the Standard ; but its Editor exclaims that such an argument is " prevarication," and refuses to stand-up to the rack, and be swayed by facts and figures which cannot lie." We have it In our power, howeVer, to show bow some of this money has been squandered squandered, too, in such a manner, that even ihc hireling tools of the Administration dare not attempt to justify it before the public. Let " the people" examine the following increase of expenditures by our democratic Administration : 1 In 128, the Patent Office was man aged by four Officers, whose joint sala ries amounted to It now employ 25 Officers, whose salaries cost the people In 1828, the War Department (in cluding the business of Indian affaire) employed 20 Officers, with a joint com pensation of In 1837 (exclusive of Indian aflYirs) about 40 Clerks were employed, at a public expense of The Indian Department is novo man aged by 1 5 Officers, drawing yearly from t he people Mr. Southard, of the Navy Depart ment, was censured, in 1828, for ex pending $621 43 for newspapers in three years ; but now, the Secretary spend in one year, for that purpose, upwards of $3,700 00 25,020 00 28,650 00 63,810 00 19,400 00 700 00 These few items show an increase in the public expense of nearly 80,000 dollars ! This is a sam ple of the manner in which the country is imposed upon, swindled and cajoled by men who profess de mocracy, as a cloak to cover thfir baseness. ' Are the people" atisfied with such " Democracy ?" POLITICAL HYPOCRISY. While the late Elections were pending, the "Washington Globs" and allitsisubservient echoes, down to the Standard of this City, were incessantly clamoring," DIVORCE OF BANK & STATE!!" to gull the people out of their votes and into the support of the most dangerous ultra Federal meas ure ever broached in this country. But the elec tions over, and the Government unable to get aloni? without the aid of the Banks, it scruples not to call to its aid, again, the much abused " Biddle Bank, and has actually made it its fiscal agent !.' as may be seen by the following article in the " JWadisoni an." This, however, is only in keeping with the impudent deceptions of the leaders of the party in power, to rule and ruin thisfajr Republic But a few days since, the official organ declar that the Sub-Treasury svstem is in full opera tion all over the country. Said Mr. Uambreleng, I .- ........ . . 1 1 " tleteat thu bill ine ouD-ireasury i anu go uome, I . - . . , , the Sub-treasurv is now tne law ot tne lanu, anu w. go Continue' th h 1839 .40, ar.d 4J in spite (T lamentations here or elsewhere."

This is the divorce of Bank and state. , : THE WHIGS OF NEW YORK. The Whig Convention which recently assembled I at Utica, nominated Wh. H. Sswaud Govern or, and Lcthiii Br AitH for Ll. Governor. The Whigs of the Empire State will have a hpst to en counter in fhe patronage and influence of the OL See holders, but firmness and united action, can ac complish a glorious triumph. SEVERE GALE. The Equinoctial Gale was very severe along the coast, thoueh we have not as yet heard of anv I - 4 considerable damage done to the shipping. At Nor- folk, the " big .hip" Pennsylvania was driven from - her moorings and stranded, but was easHy right- ed. Numerous similar accident are tsxpected, SPECIAL ELECTION. . ' A WritofElectioo has been issued by the Gov ernor, to supply the vacancy in our State Legisla ture, occasioned by the 'death, of Mr. Hctcbisow, of Mecklenburg. The election takes place on Thursday next, the 27th inst. 'We have not yet heard the names of the candidates. Mr. H. was a supporter of the Administration, and hia successor will probably be of the same politics. LOCO FOCO PRINCIPLES. The New York Loco Focos have started a new scheme, as wilt be seen by the following extract from a letter from the N. Y. , Correspondent of the Na tional Intelligencer . " The Locofoco in this city have hit upon a new idea, " the repeal of all laws for thk ukcov sar of debt."" Mr. Calhouw, I am assured, will have to adopt even this part of the New ork Lo cofoca creed before our Ming, Slam, and Bang will consider him orthodox.1 This, we suppose, is in keeping with the very modest proposition to divide all property through out the couutry. Truly our modern " Democrats" are quite patriotic and forbearing ! We suppose the flour barrel disruption furnished a specimen of the dividing process; and the celebrated Mandamus case might be cited to prove that the " heaven-born Amos" favors this hew theory. " Hail Columbia !" State Elections. MAINE. It is now certain that the Administration has car ried this JState. Fairfield U elected Governor by about 4000 votes over the Whig candidate ; and the Locofocos have a majority in the Legislature. F.r Congress, two Whigs and six Vans are elected showing a Whig loss of one member. At least thirteen thousand more votes were polled at this election than at the last, which, together with the extraordinary exertions made by the office holders backed by the patronage of the Government, accounts for our defeat. The Whigs of Maine are not dis pirited ; they have largely increased . their vote of any preceding year ? and ihough partially defeated, they are prood in the consciousness that they have done their duty. Other elections are close at hand, and if we mistake not, the li People's thunder" will completely drown this Locofoco squib. ILLINOIS. Stuart, Whig, is ejected in the third Congress ional District, notwithstanding the 4000 foreign votes, which a Loco paper admits were cast against him, and in favor of the Van Buren ticket for Gov ernor, by the laborers on the Canal. This is a Whig gain, and makes the Congressional delegation from that State stand, one Whig, one Conser vative, atid one Locofoco. I he V an Buren can didate is elected Governor hy a very small majority. The Legislature contains a Whig majority in both branches, and a Whig majority of 6 votes on joint ballot, over both Conservatives and Locofocus ! Here is another State redeemed, rescuedfrorn the grasp of the destructives. 'INCENDIARY ATTEMPTS. Washington City is infested by daring Incendia ries, who have, on several late occasions, thrown the citizens into considerable alarm by their reckless efforts to fire the City. Investigations are progress ing j little, however, has been elicited, except the statement of a negro boy, who confessed that he had set fire to a bed at Mr. Smith's tavern, at the instigation of a negro man, who " promised him twelve and a half cents if he would set fire to the bed, and a whipping if he did not burn it !" A ne gro man has been arrested, whom the boy accuses as the instigator of the act. LOCO FOCO DECENCY. We are told that the Loco Focos of our State set the Whigs an exumple of decency, moderation, and 44 superior moral bearing," during the recent contest. One would doubtless suppose so, after reading the following disclosure made by the Com mittee of Arrangements of the Pactolus Dinner. "Ve find in the Tarboro' Press of the 18th inst. an inquiry made about some swine" flesh which was stolen at Pactolus some time since. We do not desire to expose the acts of private individuals but when we are called upon by public men to make a public exposure, we feel bound to do so. A Democratic Republican, who had bet some money on our county election, and lost his bet, came to our dinner at Pactolus on the 16th ult., and to repay himself for the sum he had lost, stole a ham, weighing lolbs., and gave it to a negro boy to hide jn his " gig-box.'' We considered the poor fellow was hungry, and did not call upon him to return the ham. We have since understood that the same person, or a brother democrat, two days afterwards, stole three barrels of turpentine from John L. Foreman. The Sheriff of Pitt is now m search of him. This fellow's palate was not so delicate as that of the Edgecomb Democrat. tut he is as true to the cause. He went the -whole hog in the election, and to cap the climax, stole an extra ham at the Whig dinner at Pactolus.-. So mnch tor honest dc- mocracy. will mis sausry tne rress s There were four democrats who travelled several miles to partake of our dinner,. who disdained either to steal our meats, or make scurrilous remarks; but there were two who hovered around the table, ready to pounce upon the slightest opportunity or cause of burlesque. They, however, found nothing to gratify their malicious designs ; and to revenge themselves, we presume made the dirty report pub lished by the Editor of the Tarboro' Press. Committee of Arrangements." Hurrah for Loco Toco honesty and "superior moral bearing V i A QUERY. . i We extract the following pettioent question from an exchange paper. The contingency alluded to, however, will hardly occur to perplex the mind of the Great Unchanged : ! If the Sub-Treasury were in force, the only siit.Wt on which Mr. Calhoun and the Adminis tration aaree wouid be off the tapis at onee. Would fie then assume his ancient attitude of hostility to the nartv. or would he, in pursuit of his chimera, a re-organization of parties, continue to adhere to the Administration 1 ' FATAL RENCOUNTER. A frflrira took nlace" in Greenville. 8. C. a few days since, Nwhich" terminated in the death of Dr. Earl, of that place. The quarrel grew out of a political squabble concerning the Congressional can vass in that District. The Cincinnati Whig states that the election in I Arkansas is carried on with great bitterness and ve hemence. Both parties are sanguine of success. Wm. Cummins, Esq., is the Whig candidate for Congress, and Judge Cross, the Van Buren candi. date. The Whigs carry on the contest under the broad banner of " the Constitution,-Clay, and a Na tional Bank " . : ' A public dinner was given by the citizens of Lex ington, Ky. oa the 29th ult. to the following gen tlemen Directors of the Charleston and Cincinnati Rail Road Company, viz : Gen. R. Y. Haise, Pre sident, and Messrs. Kiwg, Elmohf, Baring, Dun it f.tawt, Tat lo u, TEADoir and Mitts, of Souths Carolina, Messrs. Rkksk and Humes of Tennessee, Mr. Hardt ofN. C. and Mr. Taylor of .Kentucky. The Company adjourned, to meet again at Ashville, N. C ' ' TRM THK T A5VILLE R F.PORTKR. "THE DINNER! THE DINNER!!" We see it announced in a neighboring print, that old Rip Van Winkle is arous ed from his lethargy and has set about col lecting his jewth." 44 The whole of his Democratic 7 Republican members of Con gress are invited nd expected to meet in a body at Yanceyville, Casvyell County, on Friday the 28th instant." It is further sta ted that the Hon. John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, the Hon. Walter Coles and other eminent sons of the 44 old Dominion," are expected to be piesent at this grand Jubi lee." As these precious- " Democratic Republi can members of Congress," have lately been condemned by the sovereign people, (the highest tribunal known to our laws,) from whose decision there is no nnnpal. urn ri-P- f?ume they are to be assembled to hear their funeral discourse pronounced, previous to the execution ; and as it is the last opportu nity they may ever have of feasting at the public expense, they are determined 4'to go it with .a perfect looseness." 44 Eat, drink and be merry, for our destruction draweth nigh," will doubtless be the language of their hearts. We advise them to " make hav while the sun shines," for an awful storm is fust ahead, and soon will burst upon them with overpowering fury. Already have the deep, loud thunders of people's displeasure been heard at the polls, and they will continue to strengthen and increase, until the floods of popular indignation shall be poured out on them and they shall be swept away, as with "the besom of destruction." We presume that Senator Brown will officiate as Chap lain in chief to the unfortunate beings. Having 44 paid the last sad tribute of res pect" to his comrades, the Senator will re quire some kind friend to perform the same melancholy office for himself, and for this purpose, we learn that a distinguished I ring of Halifax has been invited Ut be present. We venture ."a Dukedom to a -denier" that James C. Bruce declines the service. He is not 'the man to be seduced from his allegiance to the Constitution, nor can he be won over to the support of principles which in bis soul he abhors. Not all the honors which, the party, in the zenith of its great ness, could bestow., were sufficient to lure him to their ranks. We are proud to say that although Mr. Bruce differs with many of his political friends on the Sub-Treasury question he is, on all other points, 44 as true as steel." The Loco Focos will find him as firm and immovable as the rock of Gi braltar. We take it for granted then, that all their billing and cooing and treacherous wooing of such members of the Whig par ty, will be wholly unavailing. It will be only 44 Love's labor lost " The " Democratic Republican members of Congress" from Carolina, will, 44eat and drink, and be merry," if they can, unsola ced by the presence of their invited Whig riends, and having feasted to satietv, they will, so far as the Whigs and the great body of the people are concerned Go to the shades 44 from whence they sprung, Unwept, unhonored and unsung." Fr om the Star. GOVERNMENT BANK. We challenge any one to prove that the effect of the Sub-Treasury project will not unite the purse and the sword in the hands of one man. That this will be its etiect, is jusl as certain as the laborer is bound, so long as he labors, to obey the commands of his employer. lo whom are these bub- Treasurers responsible, if not to the Secre tary of the Treasury ? And to whom do the party hold the Secretary responsible, f not to the President f Our revenues will seldom fall short of 20 millions, and at no distant period, mount up tof fifty or sixty. According to the Sub Treafury plan, this vast amount will be under the continual supervision and control of the Executive. With it he may reward friends ; by. witholding it he may punish enemies, vvitjr tins union oi me purse arid the sword he may sway a despotism over the passions of men, as strong and ef fectual as the despotism of the Sultan or the Czar. True, the bow-string and the Siberian dungeon may be unknown; but what is more powerful than the lust of gold? The hope of reward and the dread of political excommunication f And. when this system shall have been united by the strong cords of partizan zeal and hope, and fear, to the executive, what power of Con gress or of the people can interpose tgpre vent the destruction, of the public liberty? Where will be the independent action of Congress, when compelled, as it will be, to vote supplies, originate dius, anu receive even the salaries of its members as the Ex ecutive may command 1 At the time the delegates of the people framed the federal constitution, they did not deem it safe to commit the revenues to thVhands of the President, or they would have so directed. Sbfar1 fronfmaking such a provision, they expressly charge Con gress with the custody of the public funds, and declare that no money shall b drawn from the Trtasuiy butby the authority of an act of Congress:. . Is not any plan, by whomsoever devised, or by whatever name called, which places the public' funds uncler Executive control, in direct conflict-with this provision? From the Manchester (Miss.) Gazette. We copy the following with great pleas ure, and we do it the more cheerfully, be cause the sentiments are both just and true. No men enjoy a more enviable position a mong the editorial corps, and no men de serve it more, than Gales & Seaton. The liberal character of .their journal, the high standing of the Editors, their gentlemanly -bearing and amiability in private life, are traits familiar to the fraternity. And 44 Jo : Oaies, Jr. every printer of every party, who knows the man, will always love and esteem. Of him we once .heard it typo graphically expressed, that he 44 was a prin ttr's fount case in distress" and it is true. Long may he live, and long may the Intelli gencer flourish ! It has stood, firm and un shaken at the Federal Metropolis while the Cabinet, the Monitor, the Federalist, the Gazette, the Republican, the Journal, the Telegraph, the Reformer, and other; kin dred prints, have expired, one after another, after ekeing out a sickly existence. May it long stand the pride and ornament of the American Press ! . We join most cordia'ly in the tribute to genuine worth and and unsullied honor, paid by the Kditor of the A ii xandria Gazette, to the amiable and es teemed Editors of the National Intelligencer. A midst the numerous fiendish attacks upon them, the.-e gentlemen have maintained in the public 'mind an inappreciable character for moderation, decorum, and dignily ; and havt- put down, hy the quiet example' of manly forbearance, the thousand vile calumnies which envious and unpriucipled meu have heaped upon them. Every day adds to the sense of respect which is felt for them and their ex cellent public journal. Richmond Whig. We desire no . better evidence that the Democrats are convinced of their complete prostration, lhan their helpless, inconsis tent, pitiful appeals to their quondam tar gets, the nulIifiers,J"or aid and countenance. Formerly,that is,af.'er the Proclamation, the Globe and its echoes came out in till cho rus against 44 Cataline Calhoun's treasonous heresy, and even the. innocently-erring ad herents of that Proteus were denied "bene fit of clergy." Now, those "traitors" are soothingly denominated ''Conservatives" and the help-me-Cassius-or-I-sink supplica tions addressed to them by the Administra tion presses would sicken the stomach of the very devil, little squeamish as he is said lo be. The miserable attempt to conciliate a party distrusted by every Unionist, is contemptible beyond measure, and is spo ken of by those appealed to in terms the reverse of complimentary to Treasury-patriotism. Neivbern Spectator. Mr. BojkPs Speech. The Editor of the Georgia Constitutionalist, intending to re ply to Mr. Bond's speech, has written thfee or four long articles by way of pre liminary flourish, without arriving at all at the merits of the subject. He promises to get .to the gist of the matter by and by. We beg him to remember the case of the Dutchman, who, being about to jump over a ditch, and wishing to take a fair start, went back three miles, and ran th whole distance with such tremendous speed, that when he arrived at the ditch he had to sit down on the edge of it and rest himself without being able to jump at all. Louis. Jour. C7 We are gratified to understand that the Corn and Tobacco crops look remark ably well in the lower part of Orange- par ticularly in the neighborhood of Red Moun tain.

The-following is an excellent hit on the unnatural fashion which our ladies haveof spe lling their forms and ruining their health by tight lacing : 44 While thousands fall by clashing swords, Ten thousand fall by corset boards.
