Whatever may be the result of -the contest for the Presidential chair, there appears hut very little doubt that Mr. Calhoun will be elected vice president by the electoral col leges. A large majority of the people of Connecticut decidely prefer Mr. Calhoun for the Vice Presidency to any other man, and we hazzard little in predic ting he will obtain the entire vote of all New-Lngland states. Therefore should there be no choice of President, either by the Electoral Colleges or bv Congress, the Government would, we believe, be both safe ly and ably administered by Mr. Calhoun. ib. For the Free Press. NO. II. In the making Weldon the place of transit; and clearing the river downwards to it, so as to permit the passage of boats up and down with facility in com mon low water, the friends of that mode of proceeding seem to have fallen into the same er ror with the several incorpora ted Navigation Companies in this state. ( North-Carolina. namely, the beginning at the source of a stream, or as near tne source as a reasonable hone l success will permit, and from lCnce continuing the eJoarmjr and improving down stream as j far 'a's their funds and as long as the patience of the public will permit, which in very many in stances has really been drawn upon deeply and indecently, and is, therefore, now nearly worn out. Every days' expe rience convinces us that this system of beginning near the source is radically wrong, for as the motive with the public for embarking in the improving the rivers and roads is to have the benefits resulting from a free and easy intercourse with each other, and the ready and con stant means of sending the pro duce of their farms and forests to advantageous markets, and receiving the returns by the like easy route on reasonable terms; which the beginning at the source and exhausting their funds before they can effect above half the object they have in view at setting out, precludes their doing. They must then either increase their funds by farther demands on the public purse, and upon individuals to enable them to accomplish the work designed, or abandon it as hope!ess,and lose all the moneys thus injudiciously and unprofit able' expended, because they erred in their conception of the mode to be pursued practically to ensure success, and of course erred in their judgments; an er ror which has been fatal in eve ry instance to the improvement of the internal navigation of the state. Common sense, which by the bye is rather an uncommon commodity to be found in bo dies corporate, seems to direct in loud and plain terms, the be ginning a work of this nature where it might be soonest made useful, and consequently most beneficial to some portion of that part of the community in tended to be benefited general ly by it. This must be where the navigation permitted by na ture stops, and with which it is intended that art shall unite, or in other words to carry the im provements of the river or other place intended to be worked upon as well by those whose system of operations induces them to begin at the source, as by those who commencing such improvements where nature stopped her work, shews the true goal for art to start from; and without resorting to, or calling in the aid of science to enable us to judge of the pro priety of the one course of pro ceeding or the other, common sense tells us, that by commen cing such improvements at the head of the natural and unob structed navigation already ex isting, and progressing thence upwards by art and industry, that every rod, mile, league and degree, which is cleared up wards, becomes the channel by which to convey articles of comfort and convenience to the inhabitants of the country in and through which such im provements arc made. For by that mode they can receive their iron, salt, molasses and other ponderous articles of prime ne cessity on moderate terms, and their produce received in re turn and shipped from their doors to a choice of markets. Here are results that may be reasonably anticipated from im provements that begin below, progress upwards, and become objects of the perception of all, for they can he seen, felt and understood by every one. They become the subject of public conversation, public con fidence is generated and confirm ed, people living higher up the river, jealous of the advantages thus derived to, and enjoyed bv their neighbors living JcHveri down,, and within reach of the navigation thus improved, be come anxious to participate in them, by having the same navi gation continued up to them, and so in succession to the very source. For as it progresses up wards, its incalculable benefits is so fully felt and seen, that all become anxious to enjoy a por tion of those advantages in com mon with their more fortunate fellow citizens, while the river craft that would be kept in con stant employment by the'adop tion and pursuit of this system, would give employment to a hardy class of men, and would yield a handsome daily revenue by the freight and tolls that would accrue to the owners and to the company, exclusive of the profits and commissions up on the up river and down river cargoes, which whether sent northwardly through the Dis mal Swamp Canal to Norfolk, or southwardly through the sound to Ocracock to look for markets. On retracing their route, the effect of their return would be the same on the up country through which such re turn boats would pass, to dis charge their inward bound car goes, and re-load with such pro duce as would offer speedily for market. But though this mode of be ginning to work at the source, is of real public injury, and is the rock on which all the navi gation schemes, and attempts at the improvement of the rivers in North -Carolina have princi pally been wrecked: and though it would seem that the Virginia Directors and stockholders in the Roanoke Navigation Com pany have adopted and are pur suing the same system with but little variation, to the manifest prejudice of the true interest of that Company; still candor compels us to admit that mo tives sufficiently plausible to ex tenuate their pursuing that course is at hand; if apoogy, or assignment of motive for their so doing was necessary, farther than that it was their sovereign will so to proceed; for the apa thy with which that laudable, that praiseworthy cnterprize is viewed by North-Carolina ! The advantages and blessings of which will be felt as soon as achieved, not only by the con temporary generation, but by posterity, to all. which it would seem as if the North-Carolinian of the present day was so insen sible, and so sceptical as to its ultimate success, that even the stockholders in the Company, many of them among the most distinguished men in the state, are not only tardy in the pay ment of the instalments accru ing or payable upon their shares, but become iti many instances impatient of demands upon them for further advances to carry on a work in which they have lost confidence, or which they arc induced to believe is carried on with a view to the immediate advantage of a few men connected with it, without regard to, or feeling for the pub lic interest, and thus have feel ings of jealousy crept into the Company. Those feelings are wrong, and those surmises un just and ungenerous: The North Carolinian is as much and as feelingly alive to the success of the cnterprize as the Virginian, and equally anxious as his Vir ginia neighbor for its comple tion, if not more so, as having more at slake; but he is doubt ful of the wisdom and propriety of the mode pursued to accom plish this desired object in the speediest, the most effectual, and the least expensive manner: he does not withhohl h;c. lltJ iiui;(;y Of his efforts from parsimony 0r from nn inonsihilU.. . . .... -.Ml41lv lQ prosperity of his country, hut from a dislike of the mode pur sued hitherto in the prosecution of the business, and a want of confidence arising from the course pursued, and some mis6 takes heretofore made.

Mr. Joseph While and aladr who resided in the fork cf the Coosa and Talapoasa, about bah' a mile from the Indian line in Alabama, were barbarously murdered on the 8th ult, bv a party who broke into the house, and inflicted on Mr. White lea or twelve wounds. After nni dering him, they set fire to the house, and a woman who had acted as his housekeeper, per ished in the flames. A company of twelve men started immedi ately in pursuit of the ruffians. Important from Pmi.S. letter received here yesterday from Porto Cavello, and dated the ISih October, states that, on the day previous, intelligence had been received there of Bol ivar and Canterac having had a general engagement, in which the latter was killed and his army routed.

All previous recent accounts have prepared us for this splendid termination of a campaign com menced under the most favorable circumstances, and in which ev ery one who sincerely desires the emancipation of the human race from tyranny, must feel a deep interest.

We hear little from the Peninsula that can be relied on as authentic. A Kussian fleet, with ' 24,000 troops on board, is stated to have arrived at Majorca; the object is like the rumor itself, left to conjecture and it would be idle to build a pile of ponderous speculations on the foundation of fact which when examined proves to have had no existence. The remain der of the intelligence appears more authentic, since the word Spain has for sometime pa?t meant nothing else thananarchv, insubordination and bloudsheu The amount is this, as given i the language of the editor of the New York Evening Tost.
