I cannot express in terms, too stiong, r - i - - - a 1 ' my disapprobation ofsuch proceedings, ana of the manner in. which this Sub Treasury Scheme has been again and again pressed upon the country after it had been rejected by the people or their Representatives. Every man of the party, if he does not chime in with those who are ever ready to sing hosannas to the powers that be, must keep his mouth shut, or he is to be pursued with party intolerance to the death."' This is precisely the course which has been pur sued towards Mr. Rives and those who sus tain him, and this is the spirit which calls for their bldod." If this be' Democracy, may the Lord in his mercy deliver this country from it. I would rather live under the Sul tan of Turkey than under sucli a democra ,cy. You speak of my ancient exertions in behalf of Democratic Libertyr; They are not very ancient. It is , that for which I am now struggling, and to secure which to my onnnlrv 1 e Villi rIMr Tn Vvoinrr eirlfior1 T VUUUHJ A Cliail IJIJ 111 SOU lAtUlsU. A contributed my humble aid to the elevation - of Mr. Van Jiuren, for the purpose of fur thering those great principles for which the Republican party have always contended. I confess I have been PTeatlv deceived, if . o J . ' one of the leading measures of his Admin cistration is republican, Or" the means which have -been resorted to for the purpose of carrying it by party management and Ex ecutive patronage against the wishes of the people and their representatives, are con sistent with Republican principles. To my mind they have an awful squinting towards tainly establish a Government of one man, and "what is a Government of one man " (as was significantly enquired by a commit tee of the? Senate of which Mr. Van Buren was a member) "but a monarchy." As I shall not be required to vote for the Presi dent in my public or representative charac ter, I cannot admit that you or any one else has the right to demand a pledge of me how I shall vote in the next Presidential election. I have the right, in common with every freeman, to postpone until the time of. the election my determination on that subject, and it is a right which. X do not intend to yield. Of one thing you may be assured, that when the election comes, I shall renew my "ancient exertions in behalf of demo cratic Liberty and sjiall be found battling for the rights of the people, and not for an unlimited and irresponsible Executive. In short, sir, I shall support lhat'eandidate for the Presidency hose principles and prac tices are Republican, and whose election will, in my opinion, conduce most to the best interests of my country. I am not one of your "sink or swim" politicians, who will, two years in advance, pledge himself to vote for Mr. Van Buren right or wrong. Nay more, Sir, I will say that if a majority of the people's representatives m the next Congress shall be opposed to the-Sub-Treasury (which I believe will be the case,) and Mr. Van Buren shall so far disregard the popular will, and republican principles as to nress thntndim,s m o a ciirt nnnn f,r, grcss the fourth time, he will forfeit the sup port of all true Republicans, and certainly " will not receive mine." WW.M. W UfWIA UU11 It is not generally known, we presume, thatSir Wm. Draper, so celebrated in Ju nius Letters,-was in Wilmington, where he staid some days, about the year 1770. Shortly after his controversy with Junius, he made the tour of North America. Sir William was a gallant soldier. In the year 1759 heefended Madras, in the East Indies, with uncommon skill, and bravery, against a numerous French army under the command of Gen. Lally. In 1762 he was at the head of an expedition that went a gainst the Spanish Islands, and with the small force of one regiment, and a few se poys and marines; He laid siee to the cap ital, Manilla, and in a short time took it by storm. The Spaniards ransomed the place for a millinn ctoi-i;nn 'Pl, ' however, never paid, and, the supposed ac quiecence of Draper in this injustice to the victors, or rather the charge against him of being prevailed upon by the English Min ltry, for political reasons, to forego the claims of his troops; furnished a topic for SPrae of the sharpest railings of Junius. fPilmingtQn Chronicled JLA51Q E BlEETJrrCi IIV GUII.FORI. Gbensborqtjoh,; Aug. 20th, 1839. f Oq public notice being given, an unusu ally large humbec of the citizensof Guilford" County assembledln- the ourt-honse, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Whig Convention which is to assemble at .Raleigh in November next, to nominate, a Candidate for" 'the Office of Governor of NorthrCarolinaand to appoint delegates to the National Convention, proposed to be held at Harrisburg, to nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the United States. On motion of Dr. David Worth, Dr. Jomf A.. Mebane, Chairman of Guilford Court, was called to thejChair, and Col. Charles W. Peoples and Col. James N. Millis ap pointed Secretaries. At the request of the Chair, the object of the meeting was fully and clearly explained by Geo. C. Mendenhall, Esq. On motion of the Rev. John Moore, Resolved, That- ibe Chairman of this meeting appoint a Committee .of five persons to draft Reso lutions, and report to this meeting. Whereupon, the ChairJ, appointed. Col. Wilriafn Doak, Dr.-John1 A. Foulkes, and James Sloan, Andrew Lindsay and Ralph Gorrell, Esquires. After retiring, the Committee reported the following Resolutions, which were unan imously adopted : Resolved, That, we highly approve the proposi tion to hold a Convention at Raleigh, in the month of November next, for the purpose of nominating a suitable candidate for the office of Governor of Norlh-Carolina, and of .President and Vice-President of ihi United Slates at the ensuing elections, and that this meeting will proceed to appoint dele gates to represent us in the same. Resolved, That we esteem? our fellow-citizen, JOHN M. MORE HEAD, Esq. as a Republican in manners, in conduct and principle ; a gentleman and citizen of pure and elevated character :a statesman of eminently practical mind, end of enlarged and Miberal views of puMic policy a patriot devoted to" The welfare of the ctate, and identified m all his in terests with the honor and prosperity of North Carolina; and that we recommend him to that Con vention and to the people of the State as in every way worthy to be her Chief Magistrate at the same time assuring them that we have all proper respect for the opinions of others, and will cheerful-ly-support that candidate who shall receive the nom ination of said Convention. Resolved, That the present administration of the Federal Government, by its proJigal expenditure of the public money; its hostility to the interests of the old States, in opposing the distribution of the proceed of the sales of the public lands,-in favoring pre-emptions and bounties to the new States in endeavoring to force the Sub-Treasury system upon the country, and thus to give to the Executive the entire control of the public treasure, in defiance of the wishes of the people, as thrice expressed through their representatives in proscribing and dismissing honest and faithful public servants, and appointing to office men whom the people had rejected, there by, holding out rewards to those who would disobey the popular voice to please the President in nut exacting due performance of their duties from offi cers entrusted with the receipt of public moneys, and in re-appointing known defaulters who have afterwards (as might be expected) committed great er embezzlements, peculations and thefts has for feited all claim to a renewal of the trust which it now holds. Resolved, That among the eminent men of our country, who we believe, (if invested with power) would-reslore a proper administration of the Gov ernment, and cherish the in leasts of every portion of the Union, we regard Henry Clay, ot Kentucky, from his long experience in public affairs, his ster ling patriotism and unquestioned talents, as best qualified for the office of President of the United Statesj and that, whilst we are unwilling to pro duce any division in the Whig rankaby differences about men who concur as to measures, we respect fully recommend him for that high office. Resolved, That we believe it expedient for this State to be represented in the National Convention to be held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in Decem ber next, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. Resolved, That a committee be appointed by the ('hair to name Delegates to represent this meeting in the Convention at Raleigh. , Resolved, That the Convention at Raleigh be re quested to appoint two delegates, in additionjo those appointed by the Districts, to represent this State in said Convention at Harrisburg.

The people of Granville are building a most elegant Court Housesuch a one as will do much credit to the people of any County. It is nearly completed. but probably will not be occupied by the Court till Novemher. We "once took occasion to remark on their old Court House in a manner that "some of the good citizens of Granville thought rather taunting and -ludicrous. But what ever the citizens of this County may have heretofore seemed to lack in public spirit, we think they have now completely retriev ed their character. This edifice, when completed, will be amongst the best we knowf in the State. The internal struc ture too is we think admirably adapted to the des:gn of a Court Housed We recollect to have seen none better. Southern Citizen. The Hon. Kenneth Rayner arrived in Edenton on his wa' home, via Gates, from the lower counties, on Saturday last.

Albemarle Sentinel. TEJijnSS;S;EEii ';r"-':: By a statement in the Knoxville Regis lerV ;it appears that I in Tennessee is but 1914. That this ma jority is a spurious one, is confirmed by a variety of circumstances, in reference to which there can be no doubt ; and that the Whigs yet have it in their power to re deem the State, Veems to usr perfectly plain. - No rational man can believe that the fair and honest vote of- Tennessee has been! increased 19,000 in two years. But the grossness of the fraud will work a cure', and will be set right by vigilance and ac tivity: From tiie Kwoxvill Register. " Notwithstanding the unparalleled ef forts iised by our adversaries notwith standing the patronage and power of the general government so lavishly brought by them to operate in the contest notwith standing the personal exertions used by their indefatigable champion, who traversed the wrfole State and parts of it three times, and by his artful and well turned sophistry and barefaced misrepresentations, uncon tradicted, by any efficient authority, attempt ed to seduce the Whigs from their princi ples, and notwithstanding the personal and official unpopularity of Gov. Cannon vet in the fade of all these powerful influences, but one thousand voters have been seduced from their integrity in the whole State. We say after all the noise and boast of the Loco Focos about revolutionizing the State and bringing it back to the embraces of the Spoils party," they have been able, under the most unprapitious circumstances to the Whigs, to seduce but about one thousand votes frorn our ranks. ) In referring to the files of those times, we find that the united Whig vote given in 1835 for Cannon and Humphreys amount ed to 52,000, and for Carroll, the Ad ministration Candidate, to 36,000 and that the vote for ;Canoim in, 137 was 54,000, and for Armstrong 35,000; making the whole vote of the State in 1835, 88,000 votes, and in 1837, 89,000. According to our returns we find Cannon's vote at the late election to be about 53,000, only 1,000 Jess than at the election in 1837, while Polk's vote is 55,000, being an in crease of 20,000 over Armstrong's vote in 1837, and increasing the whole vote of the State up to 108,000; or an increase of 19 000 votes in two years ! Where these 19 000 voles' came from, it is beyond our powers of conjecture to determine. That a large portion of them have been fraudu lently - and surreptitiously obtained, we cannot doubt. We are willing to allow a few thousands in the whole State as its natural increase but to find that increase run up to nineteen thousand in two years, and to find the whole of this increase on the Loco Foco side, are circumstances too marvellous not to awaken our suspi cions of dishonesty and fraud. We can submit to the will of a majority,, fairly ob tained fnd expressed, with as good grace as most persons, but we cannot cheerfully acquiesce in any result where fraud and corruption are so manifest as in our late elections. And for the honor of the State and to preserve the purity of the ballot box we hope every election may be contested where there has been fraud so manifest that it can be brought to light by inves tigation. ' In reviewing the whole ground we have reason to congratulate the Whigs of Ten nessee on their firmness and independence, Fiftv three thousand Whigs in the State yet stand unbroken and unbent by all the powerful influences brought to bear against their integrity. Only one thousand have left their ranks, and these, with many oth ers, we believe are yet Whigs in spirit, but could not act with their party from some special or local considerations. After all the vainglorious boastings of our adver saries, about their " bringing back Ten nessee to the Republican ranks,' they have only one thousand voters to show as a trophy of their "regenerating" efforts Tennessee is yet a Whig State, and with an honest and fair expression of opinion, will yet show to her sisters that she is opposed to the re-election of Mr. Van Bu ren, and the abominable principles of his Administration. The St. Augustine (Florida) Herald, of the 15th instant, contains full returns of the recent vote in that Territory on the adop tion of a Constitution ; by which it appears that the Constitution proposed by the re cent Convention has been adopted- the vote in favor of it being 2,070 to 1,975 a gainst it majority 95. The Herald fur ther says, that the returns giving this re sult have been duly certified by Gov. Call, and forwarded to the President of the Con vention, who is authorized to make official proclamation of the result. The next step towards the admission of Florida as a ' State into the Uion will be to call on Congress to act upon the subject. We take it for granted, however, that this question will not be seriously agitated in Congress until the possession of East Florida shall be quieted by the subjection or removal of the Indians, the contest with whom, during the last threes or four years, has drained dry the Treasury of the Uni ted States.---Rational Intelligencer.

Pet. Intel. WIio are tbe Abolitionists T ' The Whigs are in a singular predicament. The people of the.South are told, by the advocates of the Missouri Restrictionist, that the Northern Whigs, if not all Aboli tionists, are yet more closely identified with that faction than the Van Buren men, who are, if not all. the maior portion 'of them, "Northern men with Southern; ptin ciple,n forsooth ! We should like to know in wh&t school they were taught I -But while they are thus making headway in the South, what do we see in the North? Let the rank Abolition letters addressed to the Albany Anti-Slavery Convention, by ExSenator Morris of Ohio, and by Theo dore Sedgwick, the Van Buren candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, the latter of whom tells us, tlatfooted, that Democracy and Abolition arc identical, answer the question ! Let the facts, that Marcus Mot tony the Van Buren Candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, and Thom as Dorr, ' the Van Buren Candida for Congressman in Rhode Island, are both Abolitionists, and the latter a member of the Executive Committee of the Anti-Slavery Society of Rhode Island, answer. But of these facts the readers of the Van Buren papers in the South will be kept , in profound ignorance, just as they will be of the additional and significant fact that that able Whig, Roger Sherman, of Connecti cut second only, it is said in power of in tellectfHo Daniel W'ebster, rebuked that same Albany Abolition Convention, in the most pouited and indignant language I The letter of Mr. Sherman shall appear in our next. It furnishes one of the most cheering indications we have yet seen that the sober sense of the reflecting people of the non-slaveholding States will ultimately triumph over that fanatical spirit, which we at one-time seriously apprehended threatened the peace of the country and the stability of the Union. More SUb-Treasuryism. Whatever may be said in favor of the present Feder al Administration, says the New York Courier, no one can doubt that it has been " so unfortunate as to accept" the services of some of the most graceless rogues on record. Every Department of the GMvern ment has been full of them the land office the custom house the Indian Depart ment the Post Office Not a week elap ses without a defalcation among the under lings of Mr. Kendall, and we are of opinion that if any man may be known by the company he keeps, an administration may be known by the individuals it appoints to office. The last "fashionable movement" inthe Post Office, was in Isaac Hill's domin ions. Mr. Hiram Wlnttemore, of Exeter, assistant Postmaster, was arrested on the 20th instant, at the suit of the United States, on the charge of purloining money from sundry letters as they passed through his office. A trap was laid for him by the Dover Postmaster, who caused letters con tainins monevto be mailed at Haverhill and Eppingj for Dover, and then followed the mail till he missed one of the letters and the money from two others. He then returned to Exeter, and having caused the Assistant Postmaster to be ar rested, found on his person the identical bills forwarded in the letters. "Mr. W." says the correspondent of the Boston Mer cantile Journal, is son of Judjre Whitte more of Pembroke, one of the ornamental Judges of our county, and married the daughter of Mr. Hoit, our Postmaster.

Neiobem Spectator. D andi es . As I was passing up West minister street the other day, I was very much amused at a few remarks made by two little urchins who were trotting on be fore me. They had just met one of our modern dandies, whose upper lip was pret ty considerably shaded with dark, ffrizzlv looking hair. " What's that ?" asked the younger lad. 'That," replied the other, why that that is I don't know what they call it, but it belongs to the caravan." " To the caravan.' why I wonder how it got lost ? Peihaps it will bite !" "No, I guess not ; poke a stick at it, antl see." Not at all afraid, the younger did run after it, and cooly poked a stick at it. " You impertinent little rascal," exclaim ed .tbe exquisite, turning suddenly round, 4desist, or I'll chastise yc, daftV me, if I will not !" ' Hey r" cried the the astonished ur chin.

A French soldier, not many weeks ago, was called up by his Sergeant to receive a letter that had just arrived. The letter not being franked, and the postage of a con siderable amount, the soldier refused to re ceive it, alleging that he could not afford the money. His officers shortly after wards heard of the fact, and sent to redeem the letter at their cost, when, on being opened, it was found to contain some fami ly documents accompanied by the announce ment that the soldier to whom it was ad dressed had just inherited a fortune of two million of francs. 1 A dog belonging to a gentlemen at Os westry was lost at Liverpool some time a go.

Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It appears, fjom the Report of the Direc tors of this railway that the aggregate re ceipts, for the six months ending on the 30th of June, have been very nearly the same of those of the correspondent period of last year. The receipts have been 123,814. 6s. 8d., and the expediture, 75, 602. 7s ; leaving a pet profit for the half year, ending 30th of June, of 48,211. 19s. 7d. The Directors have declared a divi dend of 44. 10s. per share. When a land office inspector in Missis sippi,, V. M. Garesche, found Boydthe successor of Harris, a defaulter, 44 follow ing in the footsteps of his predecessor," he interposes his. kind advice to the Secre tary of the Treasury in the following terms : . , ' 44 The account of the receiver, which I have made out and transmit herewith, pres ents againt him a balance of $55,965 54. His own account makes it $53,272 73; it is also annexed. His assets of which I al so send you the list, amount to $64,549 98, rating the land at $1 25 only, but might probably realize double the amount. The man seems really penitent; and I am in clined to thinly in common with his friends, that he is honest, and has been led away from his duty by the example of his prede cessor, and a certain looseness in the code of morality, which here does not move in j so limited a circle as it does with us at home Another receiver would probably follow in the foptsteps of the two. You wil no', therefore, be surprised if I recommend his being retained, in preference, to another ap pointment ; for he has his hands full now, and will not be disposed to .peculate any more." Well did Mr. Prentiss ask, 44 who but a profiigate pander could have written the a bove ? Who but a political bawd could have received it without indignation and contempt?" ; Instead of Boyd beingdismissed, he was permitted to. hold on for several months, and then resigned, after having appropriated 28,000 acres olsthe public land to himself? Such profligacy, we venture to say, never has had a parallel in any country on earth. And yet the people are not shocked ! It might well be concluded they are enamour ed of villainy, and have reversed the entire code of morality. Richmond Whig. Hard Rtjb.
