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. Y. Mr. Wise,
of Va, Mr. Elmore, of S. C. Mr. Smith, of
i Maiue, Mr. Dawson, of Ga, Mr. Hopkinsof
Va, Mr; Hubley, of Pa, and Mr. Cushman,
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.

bids ever; pity. It died of Van Burenism

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

Communications
Mr. ^pi roBt
We did not thiuk it again necessary to
trouble yon, o,r the public, with our "flip
pancy" in reply to the writers on public j
roads. In our first communication, we stat- I
ed that part of the public highway which
was the subject of complaint, to be in a bet
ter condition th:m it had been for many
winters. This fact has not been controverted
or denied by "The voice" or "Practice."
The complaint now is, "the 12 days work
has not been performed.1* These writers,
with rigor and severity, require the payment
of out bond before it is due. May we not
with propriety retort the inquiry, have you
worked 12 days upon thus public road? It
will not be sufficient to say, our road is in
good order. We call upon you to work,
work. Mete out to yourselves, and neigh*
bours, what you have required of our Conv
inissiooers and Overseers. Push your im
provements in your own district, where you
have a wide field to gather laurels and display
your patriotism. Leave nothing undone at
home.^Ae* enterthe "Straits of Thermopylae"
and we will not dispute with you a single inch
oferound. * ' '
.. . . V . k
" The Voice" considers it a '^curiosity''
fo say the year commenced ?n Awgu$U ..Will
it also be considered acHrieSity, by a pro
fessed financier, that our fiscal yeaf'com
mences in October ? ? Upon th<j general res
toration of confidence, when the ^"winter of
our discontent has been made glorious sum
mer by the son of York" what plaintive voice
is that, which interrupts the general joy ?
At such a time and upon such a subject,
were ever men in such a temper found? .
Have these gent.'emen, in their militia cos
tume, tumbled into a ditch ? 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. To recover damages from-!
the Commissioners for this injury, we think
the gentlemen ^wtfl be compelled "to bring 1
an action suigenWis." ? - . ... ?
" Practice" informs us "the political blow
aimed at him, did not come up to the true
standard of gallantry. It is true, like Ham
let, we made a thrust, we supposed at a sub-.
Treasury rat behind the arras;'
has suffered by his ^imprudence, we are not
to blame ? he has our sympathy and friend '
ship. He who thinks for himself and boldly
exercises, in these times, rightful inde^'
; pendence of judgement," isetiiitted to our
admiration and esteem. . n . 2
In taking our final leave olf. these; .writers,
we feel it our duty to assure them, whenever
the public interests require itytio people wiJU
