' ' ?" 35-r" , &clumfcfa ?elesrop?. SATURDAY, JANUARY 26.' The North Carolina Senators, on present ing 10 Congress last week the anti-sub-Trea sury Resolutions lately passed by the Leg islature of their State, declared that their course on the subjects refered to should not be influenced by them. They resort to a despicable- quibble, that would disgrace the lowest village pettifogger. They say they J do not consider themselves instructed , as the word " instruct " is not employed. If that ( r word were repeated in the resolutions a _ thou sand "limes it could make them no plainer than they are. An Administration paper demands to know how we, who deny the force of instructions to a Senator, caa consistently find fault with those who disobey them. Certainly, we would applaud Messrs. Brown and Strange, of they refused upon principle. But they* pretenc^ to be advocates of the doctrine of instructing They have pledged themselves, that when instructed by their Legislature they would v either obey or resign. They have therefore .violated their solemn promise. To be sure, '5re regard it as important that a Senator of .the United States should possess indepen dence of judgemefifc^-but we regard it as still more iraportaat that he should t?ll the truth. The Carolinian of last ."-week contains a letter,, without a signature, from some per son in Washington, who professes to correct certain" facts stated by us in our paper of 27th November last. As, however, in support of | his facts lie gives us;' nothing but his name ! less assertion, we. are content to let the pub [ lie j ii Ige between that, and our evidence and : argument. We will only notice two or three j ? of his chief propositions. He say's, ~ j "4. It is not true;- that the Abolition party in Ohio j united with the Van Ruren or V.lmuiw! ration party,' J | in theiate elections For Congress ? Mr , from i thr\t-Stare, a-Iio levelled afl over -the State during : rlie electioneering canvass, assures me that the Abo j fltionists generally voted for .the "-Whigs," and that not ainan elected, either for Congress or the Legis { lature, is tainted with Abolitionism." | Answer . Dr, Duncan was elected to Con ! gress, and the brother of Arthur Tappan is now-sent to the Senate. Of Dr. Duncan, the Mercury last Fall said, . .... * v " -There Can be at the South but one opin ion of the atrocity and beastliness Of- Dr. Duncan's letter-. It is an outpouring of the very dregs of abolition spleen, falsehood and vulgarity." ... . ? As toTappan, the following statement has been made by the Richmond Whig, on un questionable authority. * ,v Some years since, while holding court in his district, he (Tappan) wnsFtold that there was 'bad news from Virginia ? that an insur rection had taken place in Southampton county.' He replied 'that he considered that good-news-? that it was right for the slaves to rid themselves in any manner they choose, of their masters, and that "if his son were to go fo assist in quelling the insurrection, be disinherit 1dm!" ' " The letter writer says, "The truth is, the Abolitionist* must of necessity be allied to the M Whig*," fur in their principles atone, can they find ground for their intervention." We will answer this assertion by an author ity which the writer cannot dispute. Mr. Calhoun's devoted paper, the Reformer, edi ted by Richard K. Cralle, August 9th, 1837, says that *? those madmen, the Abolitionists, are uniting with the Royalists, to vote down the Whig aad State Rights ticket, if they can. THE UNION IS NATURAL, and what we anticipated." The same paper, on the 23d of August, 1837, says, " The aboli tionists are rallying on the side of Mr. Van Buren, and not, we presume, without some uuderstaudiug. Be it so, it is a natural union , and what we have long expected." 7. 44 When the question was made, [four year* ago,] on ihe reception of Abolition Petitions," it is true that the Administration men from the South, went generally for receiving and laying on the table; but where were the Northern 44 Whigs ? ' The ed itorial does not state that Preston himself, and all the re?*t of them, were in favor of fite reception, and only changed their ground under the fire of Mr Calhoun ! The assertion concerning Mr. Preston is altogether untrue and ridiculous. And if the writer is in a situation to know anything ofthe subject of which he professes to know every thing, it must be knowingly false. No man's course, in regard to abolition, is less impeachable than Mr? Preston's. At the first, he took the highest and surest ground, from which no one can preteud that he ever waver ed.- This writer's letter is dated the 5th of December. How many hours afterwards was it, that his party, the Administration members from the South, went into secret caucus with Northern , men? surrendered the question of reception of abolition peti tions ? and turned the rights and safety of the South into a matter of party trickery ? . "'The Southern Literary Messenger, for Jan has reached us, and we take occasion to repeat the opinion which we have already more than once expressed, that it is much the best publication of the kind in this coun try.. The greatest fault we have to find with it. is, thaV (for the purpose, we suppose, of exhibiting as much as possible of what is called 44origjkial poetry,") its pages contain, with some little passable verse, a large quan tity that is utterly despicable. Alice Rich mond, in the present number, is the most pleasing and best told story that we have seen for years in an American magazine. Congress. The Senate has been chiefly engaged on the bill to graduate the public lands. The price, by it,- is reduced as low as 37$ cents. The quantity liable, to the operation of this bill is upwards of seventy millions of acres. Mr. Clay opposed it vig orously through its whole course. Mr. Pres ton made against it a speech which is said to have been among the most eloquent and pow erful he ever delivered. Air. Calhoun argued against the system with great force, declaring himself in favour of a cession, to the new States, on equitable terms, of the public lands within their limits. Mr. Benton made a violent speech, the amouut of which was, that if the bill was not passed, the new States would take the land by force, as they will soon be able to do. . > In the House, the motion to elect by bal lot a committee to investigate the Swartwout defalcation, ptevailed, and Mr. Harlan, of LKentucky, Mr. Curtis, of N.

H. were appointed ? 4 Whigs, 2 Con servative?, and 3 Administration men. - 44 Mr. Elmore requested to be excused from serving on the Committee. He said that by acting on the Committee, he would be placed in a false position. He took it for granted, that the Committee had been or ganised with a view of having the interest of each party represented. He had.no doubt but that hrs friends in electing him, had. act ed under a false impression; : . For although he had been ~an Administration man^.and would, still give it his support, yet'inrthe proper sense of the word he was not an Ad ministration man. His position was that of a free, independent member, actiug for himself and iuflueuced by no party or parly principles. He did not wish to be considered a party man, but to retain his independent position. He had thought it his duty to make that de claration, lest the Administration party might | draw wrong inferences. He trusted thq House would excuse him, for if he continued on the Committee, he would from his position be entirely useless." : ? Mr. Wise hoped the gentleman from South, Carolina would not be excused. He argued, that the fact of .his being no party man, was< a powerful reason (or his being ou the Com*: mittee._ . ' . Mr. Elmore, was excused- Mr. Cushmati and Mr. Hubley then each asked to be also excused, which was done. Messrs. Martin, Wagner and Taylor were then elected itt their place. Whereupon Mr. Taylor asked to be excused, which was not determined when the House adjourned. Gfn. H. H. Kinard was, on the 15th iust, elected Sheriff of "Newberry District, by a majority of ninety votes. 44 The People's Press ," for some time back the organ of the Administration party in Au gusta, is defunct. The mode of its exit for bids ever; pity. It died of Van Burenism and the sub-Treasury. ... The S. C. College .

The editor of the Charleston Mercury is more severe upon Mr. Sargeant's tragedy of Velasuo than it is meet for that editor to be. The play is dedicated to the Hon. Win. C. Preston, to be sure, but we do not see that there is any thing in that circumstance hein ous enough to draw down upon the head of Mr. - Sargeant quite such a succession of .thunderbolts as have fallen upon it from the laboratory of Jupiter Tonans, I he tragedy ] is incomparably beyond any Americau play that has yet been written, and it is too bad that the editor of the Charleston Mercury, whom we know to be a scholar, a man of I talent and correct taste, should suffer his prejudices so far to belie his better judge ment, as to make the latter ridiculous by disparaging such a production as Velaseq jV, York Gazette.

Have they soil ed their plumes or regimentals, with Cedar Creek mud ? What injury or detention have accrued to the public from the state of our roads? It is true, "The Voice" tells us of a sad disaster that occured somewhere, -we suppose, in Fairfield District ? he announces to the public the amazing fact that a wago- I ner was compelled to throw from bis wagon J two bales of Cotton.
