" :We have the pleasure of. commencing the pobliea tion, in to-day's Rksistik, of Mr. Badge great Speech, delivered at Granville for so may it empliat icully be styled, whether reference is had to its innate excellence, of to the powerful influence which h isles tined to exert on the public mind. 1 ft is precisely the desideratum of which the jWhigs of North Carolina stand in need, and may be safely referred to as the text book of the party.- It furnishes not only a masterly vindication 'of Whig principles, and a refutalionof the glanders against their candidate for the Presidency, but it carries the war into ."Africa, and exposes in such gla ring colors the enormities of the Administration, and the evils they have inflicted on the country, that he who reads must- be convinced. It is the intention f the Whig Central Committee to strike off a very large edition with '-all possible despatch X and we call upon County Committees, and patriotic individuals in dif ferent parU of the SUte to aend their orders, and direct how packages shall be sent; Communications on the subject may be 'addressed tr WmtOx R. Gai.es, Secretary of the Wkg Qeritral Committee. That portion of the Speech, published in this paper. constitutes about one third of the whole. The residue shall appear in consecutive papers. It will be seen that the different subjects treated of, are arranged under dis tinct heads, so that any particular point may be refer red to at once without difficulty.. THE TKlFTrt MIPPPF.ftSim t.-r - ;r The injustice and insincerity 6f.the partizans of the Adrainistration towards Gen.HaRKisoKria relation to his princlea on the snbject of 81aerjyare becom ing clearly manifest to the great body "of the people. A striking inatonee of.Aeir jangrateful and, disingenu ous oenduct, is to be found in the use they are aU tempting to make of an extract taken,- as they say, from a letter written by the old Patriot in, 1822, de claring that, when 18 years of age, he became a mem ber of an Abolition Society at Richmond, Val Waiv- ing, ior trie present, an enquiry into the genuineness of this Letter, we would ask why have the Adminis tration Presses in North-Carolina suppressed a part of it' Why have they given a garbled extract; if It be not to deceive ? As murder will out. so is party meanness often tray'ed 'by"its own coqduc'1 , This 1 letter, -n extract from which is published at the South for the purpose of fifing the 'charge of Abolition on Gen. Hahrisox, is also circulated extensifely' at the North by the Van Buren and Abolition Presses, to prove that he has no sympathy fvr.4bplitiontet8, tLn& tnerelore, should not receive their support.- This is killing two birds with one stone, -with a vengeance.--Here, the Letter is garbled to prove Gen. if .'an Abo litionist there, it is perverted to make htm odious to Abolitionists, and to x that party more firmly in, the support of the great Missouri and Florida restriction ist, MinTis Vah Bpreit. ;. The Letter, as published at the North, expressly denies the right of Congressto interfere, in any way, with the Slave of the South.? Lt. sayjs " Congress has no more legal or constitutional right to emancipate the Slaves in Louisiana, than they have to free them in the State of Kentucky" replying, it seems, to the doctrine that because the United States purchased the State Of Louisiana, it could therefore abolish Slavery there. The Letter goes on td say, in relation to his (Gen:H's)Sote on the Missouri Question, that had his constituents desired, they could have instructed him, in whioh event, continues the General, "I should HATS RK40ICKD IX AH OPPORTUSITT OF SACBIIXIVO MT SF.AT TO MT PKISCIPI.K,IF THII HAT) 1 KSTTtfJCT- KT ME AGAIJTST MT 0SIBJCTTOX tF TBI CoHSTI- TUTION OS THAT SUBJECT. I SAW XOTHINB IX THE Constitution, which I hah sxvobx to support, TO WARRANT SUCH ISTERf KRIXCK WITH SOUTHXaJT Rights, and which had neter- before been at tempted." The Letter also calls upon'the citizens of Ohio tP dTsountermnce,trie discussion or Slavery, and decrares that every pajtnotic man should, execrate the head andheart that would.carry out such a scheme: Are not these Southern doctrines 1 Could any man in North-Carolina rish Gert. H arthson te go farther Why, then, Is not the whole letter published 1 .Why do hkn .the -base-injustice, of perverting his mean ing, by ginng a garbled quotation. We demand that the w hole Letter be published, that the eTjp!e -may see the gross deception which, has beea practiced. , Moreover, if the Letter be genuine which we deny, who, for one mornehti'cah believe that Gen. Hrintehd' ed to leave the impression that the Society," which was established in Richmond, held the same doctrines with the fanatics at the Nprth No one can be so.fpplish. Such a Society would not have been tolerated in the very heart of the largest SlaverholdirJg State in the Union ; its members would have been made to feel the operation of Lynch law. 'But the very evidence re lied on by. the Van Buren-party t tp show that the Let ter is genuine, proves that such ware not the dectrines of this Society, if, in reality, it ever existed. We al- ude to Judge Gatch's Certificate. He says it -was called the " Ifumsne Society," and that its object was " to ameliorate the conditiohof the , Slaves, and pro cure their freedom bv every ' lesral means."" Are the means proposed by the Abolitionists, legal? Gen Harrison says No! they. are ".weak, ..presumptuous and unconstitutional-" And tnis. is only orie of his manlyavowals on this subject which, in'cennection with, the many disinterested sacrifices he bus made, will prove sufficient to counteract all the. slanders of the Van Buren fiarty. . . But to thfs garbled Letter again. We would re mind the Administration party, that no principle is better established, than that the suppression of truth is a criminal as a direct falsehood, in giving in one's evi dence. .Have fhey not-suppressed the truth ? Let the people judge ! ' Talse,? must b pHhe wholTjfabe, OTj wholly, tgae. Van Buren either voted fpr the jFederal Candidate, Dewitt Clinton, or he did not. T$at be -did sq vete, in opposition to James-'Madison, ts fact as notorious as any in- history.- There I'cannoepO, therefore, about f.bis Reablutiori any of the '-f bare-faoed falsity of which jfee , "Democrat' speaks! if ut we j ass toihe next: -. i .--. -j'---. I Cumberland County first Resolution: "That the GoYcrnment wishes to force on the people an exclu sively 'metallic cufency.',' This is false; se Grundy and Buchanan's "Speeches,) and if the framers of the Kesolutlon dul hot.know it was false; they must be very ignorant inert.' We' dh?ny that any thing cabefotfnd in the President's Mese-age' that even squints td sueh'a proposition. Second Resolution: "Thatthe1 Executive1 wishes to create a Treasury' BankI" Trhis : Is false every Bank mst either be a banker others to deposit in; or it must be a -Bank of issue, -jviz: . issuing its own notes, aacurrency. Now. tj?e S.sp Treasury bill, does not permit either the one or .the other of these princi ples. Thirdly, "the Government wishes to 'destroy credit." This is false, -see Grandvvs, Buchanan's and Bentork-Speeches. We call for any one sentenca in the-Prenident's Messages to-prove such a charge;'such a doctrine is not there- to be found. F.ourth"The Executive wis,hes to reduce the wages of labor, to re duce the value of property, to destroy the paper cur rency .'y . ' " It may suit Messrs, Grundy, Buchanan, and others,- now "that they have such unequivocal evidence, fhat the "people will not sanction the bard money doctrine of the Ad rm" lustration, to disavow it ; but they can be convicted out of their .own mouths. If the Editor of the " Democrat'" does not Iuaqw that t has been -Jhe settled .determination of Van Buren, Benton 4 Co. to establish a metallic currency, " he must be a very ig norant man. i he following extract from-the 'Globe just before the last Presidential Election, U to the point : "In One year after Mr. Van Tjuren is sworn into of fice as President.

Yes, marrrmoth l!nstftution,'-in comparison with whose power,' the late Bank of the United States, in its palmiest day, was a mere pigmy. But says the " Democrat," the charge agajnst the Administration of wishing tq destroy credit is also false.. If its Editor will admit that Gen. Jackson .said " all vvhp trade on borrowed capital, ought to break," and that MrvVan Byuren is pledged to " follow in the foot-, steps,"" the allegation is proved at oncev But what tie Whigs charge upon the A6fnis,tration is, that the consequence of their measure's willtte the destruction of the Credit system.

Mr. Wii poke against the motion, and animadverted with some severity on the neglect of the Committee in ques oiti to investigate the numerous, abuses in. the several Departments. . ; - . At the, expiration of the hour, jthe bills from the Se nate which lay on the table, were taken up and acted upon. After which, the House, went again into a Committee of the. whole on the General Appropriation bill, ' Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, moved to strike opt the enaiting clause of the bill, and spokev at considerable length on the extravagant appropriations of the present Adtninistrationt contrary to all its professions of econo-" mj, and folly replied to the charges which had been mjde aarainst Gen. Harrison. I r " . jvlr, Giddings'.raotipn was negatived without a count. The first .item!in he bill beiog read, Mr. Wise took a iew of the extravagance of the present Expenditures, compared with those under the Administration of Mr. Ajamswhich had 'been, so greatly complained of by tfis jnen now in power. ' ! . Mr. Jones, the .Chairman of the Committee on Fi nance, defended the bill, and challenged the gentleman from Virginia to an examination of its several items. "Mr. Wise accepted the challenge, and produced a port-foiio of papers preparatory to the examination. winch produced loud cries. for the Committee to rise. It rose accordingly, an'dthe House adjourned. Mf.'W. has, of course, the floor for Monday. The Senate did npt sit on Saturday. A SIGN FROM CINCINNATI, : There was an election on Monday last in .the City of Cincinnati for Corporation Officers, in which the f JVhigs carried their ticket in every ward in the city by a majority larger: in the aggregate, (by Tver - four hundred votes) than ever befoe obtained. The vote for Township Trustees is considered as forming the test. The -average ote for the Harrison ticket -was 2,963. votes. The majority for the Harrison candidate for Township Clerk over Jhis Win Buren -competitor was 1,749! . - -.- The largest majority ever before obtained in the city of Cincittnati'was 1,257 by Col.
