The great question between Free Soil and Slavery-between the principles of the Wilmot Proviso, and the equality of confederate rights claimed by the South has entirely ' absorbed public attention throughout the country. No other sub ject now attracts attention in the political field. No measures of policy are discuss d7 save such as ate connected wi'h this t+ rttorial question. But it may not be amiss for the De mocrats to keep an eye upon Whig mo vements and sentiment in reference to other great -questions which may be re vived. An open avowal of measures of policy to be advocated in case of-their ad vent to power, is shunned by the Whigs. They have not dared to take open ground gainst the great leading tneasures of na tonal policy established by the Democra tic party., But an occasional declaration from high authority occasionaly peeps out. The following language was used by Mr. %Vebster in his Marshfield speech, in the iourse of which he was assigning reasons why he should support Gen. Taylor: .-In the third place. if Ihave an' lst es i. ate-if an nperienceut; t i-t eg) bae enabledtme-to know anhip 'e=pi cp r an TRY -&'OSTE RING TH H LABOR o/ the country in its va7ious Lranches." This squints very much towards the .re vivl of a National Bank, and a high, pro tective tariff. Indeed, what is .it but 'adi rect avowal of "hobtility to the Sub-Trea. sury. and to the present revenue tariff sys te rn?' Let not the Democrats be lulled into a ralse security. They are fighting manful ly against those sectional heresies. which the Whig party would make triumphant in the election of their candidates, by which a majority in Congress would beab solute, and would legislate to .carry out party sectional views, to which the Presi dent would either assent willingly, or would be pledged not to defeat by a vote. But they should not forget that others ques ions of policy may be legislated upon. The history of 1840 should not be forgot en. Many thousands of oppnnents of protective tariffs and National Banks, in this State, and in fact, in every Statd of the Union. were induced to vote for the Whig candidates. Yet when that party triumphed, two of its first and leading easures were a high protective tariff'and monster bank. We would probably see repetition of the then attempted fraud carried out again, in case of the success of the Whigs in 1848, The tariff of 1842 might be renovated, or one with features as odious, and another charter for a mon ster bank,passed, with no friendly veto to be interposed to defeat it. The veto pow r would become a dead letter in the con stitution if the Whigs should triumph. Countereiter Arrested -A man who gives his namte as Collins Smith. and says he lives in Floyd Country. Georgia, though native of Spartanbhurg District. S. C., was arrested near this place on last Thura day charged with having passed Counter feit Moneys lHe passed through this vil lage and exchanged seven dollars of his spurious coin with one of our grocery keepers, but had not beetn gone long be fore the fraud was discovered, and he pur sued and apprehended. A portion of his ounterfeiing implements wore found in his pockets, and a smnal1 quantity of the base metal he used, in his saddle-bngs. He is now in jail-sole tenant of that build ing, and the first one it has had for a long time. Our County. it seemns, would have ittle or no use for a prison, were it not for onfining rascals who come amongst us from other quarters-or else, like the prim ters, it cannot get its dues. The seven do!lars whuieh Smith exchan ged here are imitations of the Spanish dlol ar, and dated 1816, though the stamp found in his pocket is engraved with 1818. which makes it proable that he has differ cot stamps ; and it is quite likely he may connected with a gang of regularly or ganized swindlers. We sthall wait for far ther developments.-Mlountainl Banner. If the best na' faitlts were wvritten on his forehead, he would pull his hat vcr his eyes. The Hon. A. H. Sevier.-In a biogra pbical sketch of the lon. A. H. Sevier, published in the N. O. Daily Crescent, the ancestors of this distinguished Senator are described as natives of South Carolina, sprung from a Hugenot family who emi grated about the middle of the last centu ry. -Subsequently they removed to N. Carolina, and settled on the waters of the French Broad. They were identified with most of the military events of the Revolue tionary War in the South, and- were at.. ways couspicuous in the conflicts with the Indians, so frequent in the early settlement of that region. His grandfather, Col. Se vier, (afterwards Governor of Tennessee,) held an important command at the memo rable battle of King's Mountain, and two of his uncles belonged to the callaut baud who, under the leadership of Marion. kept the spirit of liberty alive in South Caroli na, when hope itself was banished from that State by the overthrow of Gates, In flue, from the earliest settlement of the -country down to the time when the battle of Nicko Jack vr'as fought. the Seviera - - were grer foremost among the defenders. of the soil, whether the enemy were Brit ish. Tories, or Indians, and on all such'oc" casions they distinguished themselves for - gallantry. One of his uncles, familiarly knowo as Jack Sevier, rendered himself . famous by his attempt to seperate from North Carolina, and to form into an inde pendent state, that portion of her territory then known as ' Franklaud.' The Legis lature of North Carolina. passed an edict. of outlawry against him, and authori;ed4 the Governor to offer ?300 for his appre. - hension. His defiance of the-authorities, his arrest, and his rescue at'- Lincolnton, - -; are matters of history which need no rep. etitton here.

Yours, NOTUS NULLUS. & The American Loan.--The London correspondent of the New York Courier & Enquirer alludes to the negoiation of the American Loan in the London Money market as follows : - If there were no other cause for con gratulation, it would be highly gratifying to the pride of every American to knowr that when half Europe is in the market to borrow at very high rates of interest, when the remainder of Europe is anxi'ona-to ber row at yet higher rates., when a loan for - . t wo millions of console is langing over the - London market, when all the Railroads are moving heaven, earth, and the direc tori friends to borrow money on uudenia hIe security, at six per cent and , bdnuu,. - when the securities of old established for-. eign stock can be procured to pay six, sev en. or eight per cent, when the. calls on - - Rail-roads for this month alone is ?E.587, 186. when the sharee of railroads can be purchased to pay eight per cent of interest,. it must indeed be0 a high source of interest: to every American to know that his coup try, in such troublesome times as these, has come into the European market, and borrowed It at a rate below six per cent." Discovsryg in Mississippf.--In the south western part of Franklin country, Miss., there is a platform or floor of hewn btonle, nearly polished, some three feet under ground. It is about one hunllred and eight feet long amnd eighty feet wide. It extends due north and south, and its sure. face is perfectly level. The masonry is said to he equal, if not superior, to any work of modern times. Trho land above is cultivated, but thirty years ago it was covered with oak and pine trees, measur.. ing from two to three feet in diameter. It is evidently of very remote antiquity,.and . the. Indians who reside in the neighbor-. hood bad no. knowledge of its existeoce pre- - - vious to its recent discovery, Nor is there tradition.among them from any idea of the object of the work, or the people who were -its builders. There is also a canal and. well connected-with it, but they never have been.explored., A subierraneous pas. sage may be underneath. Farther explora. tio)ns mnay throw some li8ht upon its origi"
