It gives us pleasure to learn, that two lots of Cotton, amounting to about 300 bales, were sold in this tnwn last week at 11 cents, a higher price than had been obtained for more than two years. It is also a pleasing circumstance, that the purchaser was enabled to give so nigh a price, in consequence of the opportunity afforded to make a direct shipment to Liverpool, there being two or three brigs loading at Wilmington for that port. The charges for freight, i. i . . insurance, ana commissions are almost as much on a shipment to New-York as one to Liverpool. And as most of our Cotton has act laws on such principles as uecn shipped to New-York and incse, ana tor such objects asjlllence to Liverpool, it is apparent Masonic Festival.

I will "now, fellow citizens, state tKe case; and if Capt. Randolph will do me justice; he will say, that I state it correctly. Last spring, (I thjrik in the month of March) I was employed by David Randolph to take to Norfolk a negro man Frederic, (the property of the said Randolph) and iu uispuse oi mm to the best advantage; wnicn negro, irom his age and appear ance, would not demand more than a hundred and fifty dollars, as I shall show below by Charles Hatcher's certificate, the person to whom I sold the said Fre deric. I think it due to myself to state, that I requested Capt. Randolph to say the least I must sell the negro for, or in a word, to give me a limit; which he re fused to do by saying, the negro must be sold for whatever price could be got for him. I shall also show below, by the certificate of Thomas Sotitherland, that the said Charles Hatcher offered to take a hundred and fifty dollars for the said Frederic, which was the price he gave for him. The certificates read as follows. BENJAMIN WILKERSON. June 25, 1828. This is to certify, that I have this day bought from B.

We read with some surprise the following passage in Mr. Webster's speech in the Senate on the Tar i if, which has recently made its ap pearance in the newspapers. What will the ''friends of good order," as some of the advocates of the Administration mo destly term themselves, say to this hec toring speech of the "god-like Web ster?" What! Daniel Webster presume teach Nathaniel Macon and John lranch what course to pursue on ques lons of national policy! He, a Fede ralist of the Boston stamp, and the unti ring opposer of Republicans and Repub lican measures He, who could not de cide what course to pursue in the last Presidential election, until he had it "in black and white" from under the bands of one of the candidates what should be done for himself and his politi cal friends; and in consideration of this contract, could stoop to aid in elevating lhc man who during the last war de nounced him and his political friends as having been 'sold by thir prejudice and their ignorance to the enemy" who in 1S24 was the able advocate f the free trade system, and in 1S28 the decided enemy of it He. who can make Speech against a bill and then vote for it lie, who can abandon his principles, for the sake of advancing the prospects UI nis heterogenous political associates, 0r to fiirt! ier his own pecuniary interests.

To the Public. turn Fellow-Citizens: If in the course of human events it shall be the misfortune of an individual to have his private character arraigned before the bar of the public, can it be doubted what course an individual so as sailed should take, if his conscience ac quits him. Has he not a polar star to direct him? It is certainly due to his character, (dearer than the blood that swells the heart,) to lay before an im partial community, (the proper tribunal to decide such matters,) the facts as they reallv exist. And ajrain I say, when he brings to mind the source from whence, and the causes why, it has been assailed, the individual can no longer hesitate, (though it may be a trespass upon the patience of the public and a rebuke on him that accuses,) to lay the matter lair ly open to investigation, let the censure fall where it may. 1 here is a report in circulation, (or. if I may be excused for the harshness of the epithet,) an absolute falsehood against me, wherein 1 am ac cused of a breach of trust if true, it would stab my character to the heart. I shall now state the report as I h'eard it, that David Randolph employed me to he found the house consumed (sell a negro man by the name of Frede- season. I also certify. after I returned home, that I told; David' Randolph if he was dissatisfied at the price that Wilkerson got for his negro, he could get said negro back for a hun dred and fifty dollars, by sending some person after him. To this Randolph re plied, damn him he is gone and let him go, he would be at no farther trouble about it. I also further certify, that I sold to Pearson a young negro feHow for four hundred dollars, the most that could be got for young fellows. J . do also further certify, that the said Charles Hatcher said if I would bring him as likely a boy as the one 1 sold for "four hundred dollars, he would allow me four hundred and twenty-five for the boy, if I would take the said Frederic at one hundred and twenty-five.
