Nautical. SVtrns. frr. A short time since it was gently intimated in the National Jour nal that the attachment oi me citizens 01 North-Carolina to Gen. Jackson, was not so general or so unequivocal as was pre ffrwlprl. The hint was taken a few anonymous essays, extracts of letters, &c. soon appeared in one or two of the pa pers in this State friendly to the Admi nistration; these were circulated with avidity abroad, and North-Carolina was immediately classed among the doubtful States. But, "so we go." a Sign has "ac cidentally" appeared in these benighted regions, and unquestionably all doubts -will immediately be removed by the fol lowing paragraph, which appeared in the last Raleigh Register: "Signs of the Times. A party of gentlemen, fifteen in number, accidentally dined together, a few days since in this County and the subject of the Presidency being under discussion, it appeared that 14 out of the fifteen were friendly tc the Administration. So ice ro." The following paragraph appears in the National Intelligencer, 27th ult. We nave a letter before us from David Trimble, Esq. late a Representative in Congress from the state of Kentucky, under date of the 21st ult. in which he says that Kentucky would have lost hei onlycd preference which our republi chance of obtaining the desired object, can fellow-citizens have manifest ed for the election of Gen. An drew Jackson as President of these United States, and that we repose full confidence in his worth, inte grity and patriotism. "Rcsohtd, That it be recom mended to our Republican fellow citizens, in addition to the notice of meeting in their respective wards, that they elect such citi zens only, to represent them in their dillercnt committees, as are favorable to the Man whom the hnd flip delegation not voted for Mi Adams a brief explanation of this as sertion would perhaps prove satisfactory. It is somewhat remarkable that Mr. Trimble should suffer the above state ment to pass uncontradicted for such a length of time but the elections in Ken tucky have just terminated, and "Othel lo's occunation's erone:" and unless his patron finds employment for him, Mr. l rimnic win prooauiy continue out ui office until he assumes his station as "heaven's hangman" which is secu red to him by right of discovery. "Weave the friends of 1 ruth. Amoril..m people delight to honor, The charge of attempting a coa-j j j h h language of the lition, &e. &,c. is as true against any party in the Congress which elected the present President, as it is against the friends of the Presi dent or Secretary of State." The foregoing sentences are appended to some recent remarks of the National Intelligencer on th-j late Presidential election, under the appropriate head of "ihe madness of part'." Out with it, gentlemen abandon the plea of not guilty and enter that of justification tell the people in direct terms that the , , j-, immortal Jefferson, "has filled the measure of his country s 'glory. jforeigm Late from Europe.

I never used such language to any man on any occa sion." The statement referred to above, ori ginally appeared in the Winchester Vir ginian about three months since, on the authority of a gentleman who heard the speech, whose name when given 4vill he one to which Mr. Trimble nor any other gentleman can take exception:" ji was copieu mio mis paper oi oin j u- ,r , . . . , iy last Mr. I. is said to have remarked . ! umgnut it be, can it be denied hereafter, but that the last Presidential election terminated in the manner prophetically pointed out in the Circular Address of "Mr. Clay's friends in the Legislature of Kentucky, in whicii they said: "And. let them (the people) re member that after the choice of electors once takes place, their voice will no more be heard in this contest; all will bo ramml lv that when the Kentucky delegation cot! to Washington "we ascertained that if Gen. Jackson was elected, he would not appoint our friend, Clay, Secretary of State; we then ascertained distinctly that if Mr. Adams should be elected, he would appoint Mr. Clay his Secretary of State." Mr. Trimble may say that he never used such language, but un fortunately for him and his cause, he made a similar statement in a printed circular addressed to his constituents, dated Washington 9th March, 1825, immediately after the Presidential elec tion, in which Mr. Trimble said: "In taking him (Mr. Adams) Kentucky has secured the friend ship and good will of the Eastern States. Jler friendship with Ohio and the other Western States is unimpaired. No jealousies have faecn created, nor heart-burnings or ill-will. Had she gone for Jackson, she would have failed, and lost her only chance of ob taining equal weight and influ ence in the Cabinet and Presi dential Councils." This statement is more comprehen sive than the other the first referred to a participation only in the Cabinet Coun cils; this embraces also an equal weight in the Presidential Councils, and if true, ftlr. Adams must have taken the Presi dency on the principle that "half a loaf is oetter than no bread."

The political movements in this State have been scrutinized for some time past with much anxiety, and various surmises have been set afloat as to the choice she will make between the Presidential candidates. The advocates of the Administration have confidently claimed the State, in consequence cf the largest portion of her electoral votes at the last Presidential election having been given to Mr. Adams; overlooking the fact that this was effected by a political ioc;.v-;;w?.y,subsetuently practised with equal success at Washington City.
