We ledrrr from a by-stander, that in the Address which Judge Sacniehs delivered to the people of Johnston during the: late Superior Court, he inveighed loijd and long agairist Banks, their expansions, con tractions, SUSPENSIONS, &C. Mr. Maxit, in his reply, expressed surprise at some of these complaints, -nd stated that he was under the , impression, that the! Judge, himself, had recgntly pre sided at an annual faceting of the Stockholders of the Bank of the State, at which the condition and policy of the Bank for the preceding year, embracing suspen sion and resumption, were examined and considered, and unanimously approved by the Stockholders. Tho Judge interrupted Mr. M. with " I deny it the fact is not so." Mr. .M. turning to the Judge, re- ; marked" I ask the gentleman if he was not present at a meeting of the; Stockholders of the Bank of the State, he himself being a Stockholder, participating in its deliberations either as. Chairman or as a member of said meeting, when the course of the' Directors of the I Bank for the year then prsfeediss, embracing a period ; of suspension qf specie payment by the Bank, wf s ap proved of." " It is not so, Sr the charge is not true," replied the Judge. ' " I make no charge" said Mr. M. , " it is possible, I may be mistaken, and after your dis avowal, I withdraw the suggestion.'V When this conversation w&. detailed to us, we were greatly surprized, because having had some art and ' part in the matter ourselves, wewerC Certain 'Judge Saukbers was grossly mistaken ; and Earing since examined the subject, we find this tp be the case. , How stand the facts T The Bank of the State sus pended specie payments th April 1837, and continued the suspension untjl August, 1838. In January fol lowing, (1839) hot six months after the resumption, the annual meeting of the Stockholders was held, and the aflairs of. the Bank, the preceding year, viz : from January 1833 to January 1339, embracing, as the rea- der perceives, a period both of suspension and-te-' aurnption,vfRxa reviewed, when the following remark able proceedings, copied from the Journal, occurred : " At a General Meeting of Stockholders of the Bank "of tha State of North Carolina, held in pursuance of j ' u - fi . .1. t C: tt id. u f r " Raleigh, on Monday, the 7th January 1839, a ma- "jority of the stock owned and held in said Bank be " ing represented, on motion, the Hon. R. M. Saunders 44 was appointed Chairman', and W. R. Gales Secreta " ry of the meeting. The President laid before the " meeting a full statement of the transactions of the " Directors of the Bank for the past year, and of the " condition of the Bank,with explanations of the same, " when orT4rtian of Mr. Swain, Resolved unani- "mo'isly, that. the cqurse pursued by the President " and Directors of.the Bank in conducting tho affairs of " lur Iu;tution ring the pastjrearrheets with the hearty "concurrence of the Stockholders." Now we do not aver or insinuate, that Judge Sack hers intended to deceive thepeople of Johnston, by , corruptly stating a wilful falsehood. By no means; but this serves to shew witkhM facility"a politician can change his opinions, and condemn L?-day, what he sanctioned yesterday. It shows too, that when a man casts about dir t, he should be careful lest he be draggle himself; "that; the tenant of a glass-house should not throw btone3." It shows that men, as well as boys, to go ahead, should review their books ; and that the Judge should sometimes look backward, and cot always be loqking forward. In fine, it shows that the caption of this article, though sometimes af flictive, is, at other times, remarkably convenient. i 1 U3 The " "Western Carolinian," in commenting upon a late public Address of Mr. Morehe ad, asks the question: "Has Mr. M. so soon forgotten the loads of Extras from the Offices of the Star and Register, in tended to build up Mr. M- for Governor, by propagat ing false charges; against Judge S. his opponent'?" It - is a small mattery it is true, but it is proper for us to say, that no Extra or'hand-bill has been issued from this Office on the subject of the Gubernatorial Election. AN ADMISSION. I The "Washington Republican" assails Mr. More head most violently, on account of certain votes given by him in 1826-27, he being then a member of the State Legislature. " At that rime," says the Editor, "the AbolMonists had begun to agitate their madand w:eked desfgns" Indeed ! Then what excuse can be offered for Judge Saunders, who. after the "Abor tionists had begun to agitate" this matter, presented -a Petition to Congress, the effect of which was to aid arid abet them in their mad and wicked designs. For, let it be recollected, that the last Petition presented by the Judge wa3 in 1827! : We expect our neighbor of the "Standard" will give his Washington ally a sly rap over the knuckles for his indiscretion. He had alrea dy furnished his brethren with the proper cue for the occasion, and none ought to have needed prompting. The "Standard" hail pronounced ex cathedra, that at the time Judge Saunders, presented his petitions, such an act was entirely harmless, because the Abolitionists had then made no head; but now Ae "Republicar' in his eagerness to convict Mr. Morehead of Anti-slavery tendencies, admits irj effect, even more than the Whigs had asserted, to-wit: That, at the time, Judge S. was doing these objectionable acts as a member 6f Congress, he was knowingly aiding the .Abolitionists "in their mad and wicked designs;" because, it follows as a matter of course, if they had, at that time, begun to agitate them, the Judge must have known the fact, and yet was not deterred by it from pursuing the course which he did. Really, the more the Administration papers attempt to fix Abolition on Harrison and More head, the deeper they get themselves into hot water. You had better quit, the drive, gentlemen, fend call of! the dogs. A GOOD CARICATURE. Some friend at Washington has sent us a Caries.- ; turc, published recently by that indefatigable artist Robissox. It purports to represent an interview at the farm yard of the Log Cabin candidate for the Pre sidency, between Old Tip and Messrs. Van Buren, Calhoun. Kendall' and Blair. On nearing the farm, these personages, in the disguise of spies, are supposed to have fallen in unexpectedly with the Hero-of the Thames, ploughing in an adjacint field, who accost them with the frankness of an old Soldier and-Farmer " Gentlemen, you seem fatigued. If you will ac-i cept of the fare of a log cabin, with a Western farmer's cheer, you are welcome. I have no champa'jgne, but can give you a mug of good cider, with some ham and eggs and good clean beds. I am a plain backwoods man ; I have cleared some lands, killed some Judians and made the red coats fly in my time." Upon the unexpected tenor of this welcome, the roy al visitor turns to his comrades and remarks, as if in an under tone, " v-.' -r'- - ' t- " A? I !lV2. that 15 old TTarrisnn hTmf.. The old fool ! After the many opportunities he has had of en riching himself, to live ui a log cabin and plough his own ground !

CONGRESS. ' " EDIT OR s CORRESPONDENCE. Wassitgtoh, April .3. . Yesterday, the question on the printing of certain testimony in the New Jersey election being still before the House, Mr. Medill resumed and concluded his Speech on that subject; after which, the 'Speaker gave the floor to Mr. Fillmore; but he was prevented from addressingihe Huse, by a number of questions and explanations which took place on the subject amongst several rne.mbcrs. The morning hour having expired, Mr. Everett offer ed a Resolution, directing the Secretary of the Treasu ry to ray before the House, a statement shewing in what Banks, Treasury notes issued in 1 337, 38 $ 39, have been by his Department,deGsited,in consequence of having received certificates of special deposites in specie, with the rates of interest on such notes, the date and amount of each deppMte, also a- copy of all the correspondence between, the Department and such ttan-o, T1'- Objcction bettf made to this Resolution by Mr. Smith of Maine, Mr. 1$; Ziy- notice that he should offer eit to-morrow.

The Speaker then gave the floor to Mr. Watterson, who yielded to a motion to adjourn, which was carried.

SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. London papers to the evening of March 9, brought by the packet ship Montreal, Capt. Griffin, have been received at New York. f There was talk of a war between England and Portugal. In the House of Commons, March 2, Sif James Graham gave notice 'that if the documents respecting China were not laid before the House by Thursday next, he should mova an address for the presentation of all papers relating to the -commercial intercourse syith that country. Un the same dav, lord J. KusjcU stated that he We may be able to furriishyou with something clever tier jihe communication states, in a letter from Gen IMPROVED FARMING. The late Judge Buki., -of Albany, in his valuable work, entitled " The Farmers' Cmnpanion " in or der to show the great advantages to be derived from the improved system of Farming, (which consists in ploughing deep, harrowing and manuring well, and observing a proper rotation of crops,) when compared with the shallow ploughing and impoverishing prac tice of former times; states the following facts : Twenty years ago, lands in the valley of the Hud son, that sold for .$20 or $25 per acre, will now read ily sell for $100 or $125 an acre; and lands on the Kinderhook plains, whch then, sold from $5 to $10 per acre,have been recently disposed of at $60 and $70 per acre. Me adds, that a Scotch Farmer, who pur- I chased a worn-out Farm on the banks of the Seneca Lake, fifteen years ago,, at $10 an acre, has, by the aid of Sheep, lime manure, and good husbandry, so improved it, that his land is now richly worth $100 an acre. And Dr. Black, in his Prize Essay, lately pub lished, has demonstrated, that every acre of arable land in New Jersey, which, a few years ago, could have been purchased for from $5 to $10 per acre, may now, from improved cultivation, be made to pro duce, in farm crops, $500 per acre. ; We have no doubt, that there are : many extensive worn-out Fauns in Virginia and in this State (where the old impoverishing system of husbandry still too geneiillj prevails,) that might now be purchased at the lowest price above stated, andjwhich, by industry and improved cultivation, would, jin a few years, be worth as much as the rich Farms m the more prosper ous States of New Jersey and. New York. . This be ing the case,, we should suppose, that good Farmers in the Northern States, where land , is scarce, and 'dear, and therefore not easily obtained, would find it more to their advantage to purchase and improve old "Farms in the Southern Atlantic States than emigrate to the wild forests of the far West, for the Globe." To which the Globe man, as in duty bound, replies; " I will state in jny paper that we found him drink ing rye whiskey, and that will kill him with the tem perance men, and reading Abolition tracts., that will settle him in the Seuth. Our readers you know -will swallow any thing. I must make the most of this in terview, as our case is desperate." The whole is so well conceived, and so admirably executed, that we should like to see a copy in jthc house of every voter.

Washixgtqt, April 3 Yesterday, the Speaker announced the special or der of the day to be the Report of the Select Com-. mittee on Printing, of which Mr. Black was Chair man. But it being staled that all the documents connected with the .Report were not yet printed, and the Chairman not having yet prepared his Report on The Administration party boldly proclaim that they will carry Mr. Van Buren's own State at the Presi dential Election.

We have just seen a Letter from the Empire State, fro.m a dis tinguished source, addressed to a member of the Whig Central 'ommittee of North Carolina, of which the following is an extract: " We have been actively engaged in collecting in formation respecting the condition of the party. Never were our prospects so cheejring. In this State, the nominations have been received with the utmost en thusiasm. So great is our confidence, that we pledge ourselves to our friends in other States, that we shall elect the forty-two 'erectors of New York, by a majori ty of at least 15,000." DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES. The South is rapidly becomings independent of the -North, iiv almost .every branch of Manufactures. There are in Noth Carolina alone, at this day, a great er number of Factories of different kinds than ten years ago, there were in the whole Southern States ! We have just seen a specimen of the Nails manufactured at the Factory of Messrs. Burton and Fullenwider, of Lincoln county, not only from native Org but on a Machine, we learn, also of domestic construction. The Iron Ore-of Lincoln )s pronounced to be equal to any in the world ; and we have somewhere seen or heard the anecdote, that a Blacksmith in Charleston, who had a quantity of Lincoln Iron in his Shop, wa obliged to lock j up, to keep his workmen away from it ; for they declared it was so good an article, it af forded them reil pleasure to work it ! f fj The District for which Mr. Rencher has been named as Elector, is composed of Guilford, Chatham "and Randolph Counties, and not Rowan, Darvidson,4"C.

A most distressing accident, resulting from the care less disposition of fire-arms, recently occurred on board the steamboat Monongahela, on her passage up the Ohio. One of the Passengers had loaded his gun for the purpose of shooting ducks, but having no opportu nity to discharge it, he rolled it up in the edge of a blanket in his' berth, and there left it unknown to any person. Subsequently, another person laid -down in the berth where the gun waa placed, and, in changing his position, thereby stirring the blanket, the gun went off, and the ball with which it was charged, passed through the head of a Passenger, named H.Gage, said to be from Chatauque county ,N.Y. and inflicted; such a vreund, as to leave no hope of his recovery. t The "Snirit of the Times." an Administration iour- nal, published in Philadelphia, draws the following Bering rtiins-ea rtluakes may engulph iii he gloomy picture of affairs in that City: "A dusty silence reigns throughout our thorough fares of trade. The folip sales-book lies unopened up on its desk. The idle clerks stand absorbed in unin terrupted thought, or look listlessly into each other's face for brief employment.

Mr. Fillmore proceeded with his remarks on the New Jeny printingMiuestton until the expiration of the morning hour, without coming to a conclusion. The Speaker then laid before the House a mesiie froin the , President, inclosing documents from the Secretaries- of State and War, from Mr. Fox, the British Minister, and. from Gen. Winfield Scott, in answer to an enquiry of the House of the 9th-ult. whether the-Bntish had in any way violated the ar rangements entered into between the two Govern ments in April, 1817.

If any Whig was guilty of the above conduct, he disgraced his principles, but we want better authority for the statement than the assertion of the " Gjobe," from which we presume the " Standard" copied it. Complaints of this kind, however, come with an ill grace from a party, some oi whose members are guil ty of such outrages as are detailed in the following letter from N ew York : " Last night, an immense meeting was held in Ma sonic Hall, called to sustain the Registry act, that has now become .a law ; but at an early hour, under an inflammatory call that appeared in the iNew Lra oi the morning, a great many Locofocos took possession, of the hall, and when the Wljigs attempted to'iorgan- lse, they yelled and howled with so much effect that order was impossible. The Whigs thereupon, by a sign, to distinguish themselves from the Locofocos, -took off their hats, when the i.ocofocostwere known by having their hats on, who being thus marked, were hustled out by a cordon of Whigs, who crowded them down stairs, after which the meeting was or ganized. The Locofocos, however, thus ejected, wen to their head-quarters in the 6th Ward, and drum ming up the-most desperate of their party ther , with clubs and shelalahs, they attempted again to enter Masonic Hall, but the Whigs broke up the benches of the hall, and armed themselves with the bannisters, and, as the Locofocos attempted to mount the steps, they beat them back. After this, the Locos 'formed in front of the hall, and in the entry way, and now and then they slyly clubbed a Whig as he went out. The meeting, of course, was ended by this last attack ; but after the adjournment, the, Locos drove into the hall,; where some fifty. or s'xty Wh-gs were If ft talking over the business of the meeting, whom theff beat unmere jully, and tramptJd under joot.

Add to tins', the untiring exertions of Custom House Offi cers and other Government retainers, and the wonder i3, that the Whigs can make so good a fight as they do.

I We welcome again this valuable Journal; which has, literally, "sprung like a PhcertU from its ashes.- At the destructive Fire of the lffttt" January, which laid waste our sister town, the Printing materials of the Chronicle Office were entirely destroycd and its worthy Editor has had to refit anew in every, depart ment. Misfortune, however, so far from paralyzing his energy, or repressing his intellectual vigor, seems to have quickened the one and strengthened the other; and the Arst number of the Chronicle" revif ed exhi bits strong practical evidence of both qualities. NEWSPAPERS. The best and suresi Civijizers of a Country are Newspapers. They contain within themselves not only the elements of knowledge, but the inducements to learn. There is no one so instructed, no one so ig norant, as not to learn from them something. The un derstandings of its readers are led on, by degrees, from the simplest domestic occurrences, to those which af fect their remotest interest, or appeal to the'ir noblest sympathy from the overturning of a coach to the overturning of an empire. It is impossible tffat any map, hovtfever narrow his views, can casi'alniui iii such a mass of information for that which particularly con cerns his own objects or pursuits, without stumbling on something which will enlarge his ideas, or exercise his reason. A Newspaper is, in fact, the instrument which enables an individual to avail himself of the ex perience of the whole community. . QTjf The " Richmond Whig" well remarks, that in reviewing Gen. Hahrisojc's caCreer, nothing excites more surprise, than the fact,- that being a citizen of a nori-slaveholding State, he should yet have proven himsel ", on so many occasions, and at so much person al sacrifice, so steadfast and devoted a friend to the rights -and institutions of the South.

The House resumed the consideration of the ques tion of printing certain documents respecting the New Jersey election, aud Mr. Fillmore having concluded his remarks, and there appearing to bs a general wish totclose this debate, Jthe previous question was moved and carried ; and the question was first "carried on the amendment of Mr. Garland, and then on Mr. Camp bell's resolution, which passed 147 votes to 3. . ': The Speaker laid before the House sundry packa ges of depositions in relation to the New Jersey Elec-' tion, which were referred to the Committee on that sub ject. The House then proceeded to the orders of the- day and considered a number of private bills. .

After which, the question on engrossing the I ill for a third reading was taken, ana negativea ma votes to 20. So the bill was rejected.
