of$200,000 to correct, and which claif

IVreflecting on the proper means of dc
fending the country, we cannot shut ou
ey6s to the consequences which the in
traduction and use of the power of stenr
upon the ocean are likely to produce ii
wars between maritime States. VV e can
not yet see the extent to which this pow
er may be applied in belligerent operations
connecting itself as it does with recen
improvements in the science of graner
and projectiles; but we need have no fea
of being left, in regard to these thing:
behind the most active and skilful of othe
nations if the genius and enterprise of ou
fellow-citizens receive proper encouragt
ment and direction from Governmeni
True wisdom would, nevertheless, seer
to dictate the necessity of placing in pei
feet condition those fortifications whic
ire designed for the protection of 01
principal cities and roadsteads. For th
defence of our extended maritime coas
our chief reliance should be placed o
our navy, aided by those inventions whie
are destined to recommend themselves I
public adoption. But no time should h
lost in placing our principal cities on tli
aeaboard and the lakes in a state ofentir
security from foreign assault. Separate
as we are from the countries of the 01
World, and in much unaffected by, the
policy, we are happily relieved from th
necessity of maintaining large standin
armies in times of peace. The polic
which wasgadopted by Mr. Monroe, sboi
tly after the conclusion of the late'Wf
with Great Britain, ofpreserving a regu
arly organized staff sufficient for the con
mand of a large military force, should
necessity for one arise, is founded as we
in economy as in true wisdom. Provis
ion is thus made, upon filling up the ran
and file, which can readily be done o
any emergency for the introduction of
system of discipline both promptly an
efficiently. All that is required in tim
of peace is to maintain a sufficient nun
ber of men to guard our fortifications, t
meet any sudden contingency, and to ei
counter the first shock of war. Our chi<
reliance must be placed on the militii
They constitute the great body of natioi
at guards, and, inspired by an ardent lov
of country, will be found ready at a
times and at all seasons to repair wit
alacrity to its defence. It will be regan
ed by Congress. I doubt not, at asuitab
tim?*, as one of its highest duties to alter

line.
The state of the navy pension fund r
quires the immediate attention of Coi
gress. By the operation of the act of tl
3d of March, 1837, entitled 44 An act f<
the more equitable administration of tf
navy pension fund," that fund has bee
exhausted. It will be seen from the ai
companying report of the Commission!
of Pensions^bat there will be required f<
the paymment of navy pensioners, on th
first of Jqly next, 384,006 061-8, and o
the first of January, 1842, the sum <
$60,000. In addition to these sums, t
bout $6,000 will be required to pay ai
rears of pensions which will probably h
allowed between the first of July and th
first of January, 1842, making in th
whole $150,006 061-8. To meet thes
. payments there is within the control <
the Departments the sum of $28,041
laaving a deficit of $12196 061 8. Tb
public faith requires that immediate pr<
vision should be made for the payment <
these sums.
^ In order to introduce into the Navy
desirable efficiency, a new system of ai
countabilitv may be found to he indispei
sably necessary. To mature a plan hai
ing for its object the accomplishment <
an end so important, and to meet the jus
expectations of the country, require nior

Although the laws regulating the Po?
Office Department only require from th
officer charged with its direction to repoi
at the usual annual Session of Congress
the Postmaster General has presented t
me some facts connected with the finar
cial condition of the Department, whic
are deemed worthy of the attention <
Congress. By the accompanying repoi
of that officer, it appears that the existin
liabilities of that Department beyond tli
means of payment at its command canni
be less than five hundred thausand dollar
As the laws organizing that branch of tl
public service confine the expenditure 1
its own revenues, deficiencies therei
cannot ho presented under the usual est

It must therefore be left to Congress I

lie Treasury, or whether that Departmei
shall continue under its present emba
rassments. It will be seen by the repoi
of the Postmaster General that the recei
lettings of contracts in several of tli
States have been made at such reduce
rates of compensation as to encourag
the belief that if the Department was rt
lieved from existing difficulties, its futur
operations might be conducted withoi
any further call upon the general Treast
ry. .

inent in the performance of this delicate

t best interests of the couutry. I shall aly
so, at the earliest proper occasion, invite
r the attention of Congress to such measj,
ures as in my judgment will be best calx
culated to regulate and control the Execir
utive power in reference to this vitally
important subject.
L I shall also, at the proper season, invite
n your attention to the statutory enaetr
nients for the smppression of the slave
h trade, which may require to be rendered
ir more efficient in their provisions. There
ie is reason to believe that the traffic is on
t, the increase. Whether such increase is
d to be ascribed to the abolition of slave lah
bor in the British possessions in our vicin:o
ity, and an attendant diminution in the
e j supply of those articles which enter into
i the funeral consumption of the world,
v r> ? .
e thereby augmenting the demand from othd

d al labor, it were needless to inquire. The
ir highest considerations of public honor,
e as well as the strongest promptings of hug

ticular attention to the interests of this

11 The tendency of public sentiment, I am
h pleased to believe, is towards the adoption,
in a spirit of union and harmony, of such

We learn by. a gentleman from Wadesborough
that Messrs Waddill and Martin

of Five thousand Dollars, and the latter

We learn from an advertisement in
the Favetteville Observer, that a Seminai
ry for young Ladies was incorporated by
an Act of the General Assembly of North
Carolina at its last session, under the
name of "Floral College." It is located
in Robeson county, near the western
border, and will be opened on next Monday
under the superintendence of the
Rev. John R. Mcintosh and Miss Caroline
M. Jewett. The plan of this Institution
embraces a complete course of
liberal education extending throughout a
period of four years, and closing with a
Diploma and a Degree. The arrangements
ate, in all tespects, those usual
in Colleges. The location is represented
as healthy and the expense very small, as
may be learned from the advertisement.
We have the pleasure of a personal
acquaintance with Mr. Mcintosh and
consider his connection with the College
as a recommendation. Indeed we regard
with sincere satisfaction the establish,
ment of such an Institution so near to
us.
North Carolina is not very boastful,
but we rather think, that the practical
utility of her legislation for a few years
past, in reclaiming her waste lands, in
facilitating communication between different
parts of the State, and in providing
the means of education for her citizens,!
might put to the blush some of her bragging
neighbors uh> are in the habit of
a fleeting a contempt for her, and a large
part of whose legislation consists in the
establishment or overthrow of political
dogmas.
We have not seen any political newspaper
(except the "Intelligencer" of Wash,
ington) with which we are so well sat.

isjied as we are wun me "AJiitRiun .
Sentinel" of Philadelphia. It is a
temperate and dignified supporter of the
Party called Democratic in the nomenclaiure
which now obtains. There is a
tone of good sense, true wisdom, and elevated
morality pervading the Editorial
D -partment and the selections, which is
rofreshingto the spirits depressed by the
multiplied evidences, every where furnished,
of a fearful obliquity in the moral
sense of the American people. If more
of the leading secular papers throughout
the country had been like the Intelligencer
and the Sentinel, their seasoning
would perhaps have prevented, in some
measure the' putrefying process which
seems now to be going on in society.
Although these remarks were not induced
solely by the subjoined article taken from
the Se;itinelt they were commenced with
the design of introducing it. We like
, it because it shews, that the specious but
I mischeivous dogmas of modern reform
called the glory, but in many respects,
the shame and blight of the age, have
not taken captive all minds. Doubtless
important progress has been maGe in

devoutly pray "Good Lord, deliver us."
But to our extract ;
Thrre is genuine and sensible philosophy
in this observation of Sir Walter Scott: I ra.
ther suspect, says he " that children derive
impulses of a powerful and important kind, in
hearing things that tlicy cannot comprehend;
and therefore that to write down to children's
understanding is a mistake; set them on the
scent, and let them puzzle it out."
One of the most fatal mistakes in modern
education has been this, writing down, and
talking and teaching down to the comprehension
of children The favorite theory of late
years has been, that children must be reasoned
with, convinced, persuaded, made to understand
the reason of every thing &c.?
Whereas the great aim should be to discipline
them in habits of submission and obedience.
They should be taught to do thus, because
commanded by paper authority, and to believe
thus and thus, because the superior understanding
of the teacher or parent affirms it.
It is of prime importance to accustom children
to consider that they are children, and as
such inferior and dependent?called to confi.
dence, not in their own powers, but in those
who have the control of them ?It will bo in.

The subjoined article is given to our

to President Tyler's recommendation of

is Thomas Ritchie Esq. Editor of the

"It is true, that the Acting President
has not attached to his Proclamation the

The meeting of the Democratic Party
in Charleston on the 27th ult., is represented
to have been one of the largest
and most brilliant popular assemblages .
ever held in that city. The Hon. IIett- | j
ry Deas occupied the Chair, and stated ,
the object of the meeting. Col. T. H. <
Elmore, Chairman of a Committee of 1
forty two, reported a preamble and resc-('j
lutions, affirming the unconstitutionality
and inexpediency of a distribution among '
the States of the proceeds of the public 1
Land Sales; of a protective tariff; and of I
a National Bank. Also sustaining the

The meeting was ably and effectively
addressed by Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Memminger,
Mr. Burt of Ablieville and others.
With great indelicacy (as we hum- ,
bly think,) Chancellor Dunkin, and j ]
Judges Earle and Butler were invited '
to be present and participate in the ex- <
ercises of the meeting, and, with great I
propriety, they declined. The following <
resolution is of so extraordinary a charac- 1
ter, that we give it entire. ' (
Resolved, That Congress having no J
authority under the Constitution to incor- j J
porate a National Bank, if such. an I/isli., ^
tution be incorporated, we hold that the
Charter may at any time be repealed and
the Bank abolished. ' (
The argument in the case of Scire ,
facias against the Banks was closed on ]
Monday the 31st ult., Judge Butler will i
take time to decide the question which
the case presents for his arbitrament.? <
Whatever his decision may be, the case <
will go to the Law Court of appeals, or 1
if, as we suppose, it involves the Constitutionality
of the late act under which the
proceedings are had, it must come for final
adjudication before the High Court
of Errors. The argument of the Hon. II.
S. Legare is represented by the Courier
to have been " one of the most brilliant
| and masterly efforts that has ever been |
witnessed in any form." The Mercury, <
on the other hand, ridicules a large part of i

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK. (
One Hundred and forty-eight lives lost. ,
It again becomes our duty to record a ca. j
lamity involving destruction of human life to j
an awful extent. Four of the crew and four
of the passengers of the brig Minstrel, Capt,
Outerbridge, arrived here yesterday, bringing *
the disastrous intelligence, of which the fob <
lowing is an accurate summary. i
The Minstrel left Limerick, Ireland, on the (
21st of April last, for Quebec, with one hun. {
dred and forty-one passengers emigrants, in.
tending to settle in Canada. The vessel had
a tolerable passage up to Tuesday last, at four !
o'clock in the morning, when she struck on '
Red Island Reef. There was a heavy sea <
running at the time, but the boats wero t
launched and made fast to the fore chains. ,
Upwards of one hundred passengers cm. j
barked in the boats, but their doom was
quickly sealed; the vessel 'heeled off" into

could not be cast off, and the people who had
embarked in the boats perished, with their !
equally unfortunate companions on board the

upwards of 150 souls, remained to tell the sad
tale. ' J
These eight persons had embarked in the |
gig, which was towing astern, and fortunately
for thorn the rope which a tached it to the ^
vessel broke when she went down. They ^
succeeded in pulling to White Island, where y
they remained till the following day, when y

?can avail anything towards setting a c

constitutionality of a National Bank, |
should be considered, we think, as one al-1
ready placed beyond controversy. Touch-1
ing the expediency of such an institution i
little need be said. If the present condition
of the currency does not furnish evi- \
dence enough of the evil which thecoun-1
try must suffer without it, there is noth-1
ing of efficacy that could be argued to
make the case plainer.
The National Intelligencer, a few days j
since-republished a letter from Mr. Mon- i,
roe, on this subject, written some ten j
years ago, in which his opinion in favor
of the constitutionalityofa bank, as a fistal
agent of the government, is explicitly
declared. The following letter from Mr.
Crawford, in reply to one addressed to
him by Mr. Ingersoll, of Pennsylvania, is
equally to the point. It may be remark- '
ed, that Mr. Crawford, besides the high i
claims which his, character and genius
possess upon the public regard, was able
to speak on this question with all the light
of eight yearq experience in the Treasury
Department. His views, therefore, arc
those of a practical man, as well as of a?agacieus
statesman.?Char. Cour.
Woodlawn, Dec. 1831.
Dear Sir?Your friendly letter, on the
subject of the United States Barrk, has
oeen received by due course of mail.
Fhe opinion, which I formed of the Bank
the United States, when I was a mem>er
of the Senate, was the, result of a
:arefulexamination,of the Constitution of
he United States, made without any prer\r\iniAMn
no ?A/*,
.uligcivvu u^iuiuiia. i uai ;?
;d in two speeches which I made in the
Senate, in the year 1811. Sinpe that i
ime, 1 hare had no occasion of reviewing '
his question. My opinion remain un- !
altered.
I was Secretary of the Treasury more ;
than eight years, and during that 1 had 1
imple evidence of the great ability of the 1
Bank of the United States, in managing |
the fiscal concerns of the Union. I am
persuaded that qo man, whatever his pre.
conceived opinion may be, can preside
over the Treasury a year, without being
deeply impressed with the expediency of
the United States Bank in conducting ,
the finances of the Union. i
The proviiion in the Constitution, >
which gives Congress the power to pass 1
all laws which may he necessary and j
proper to carry mto effect the enumera- ;
ted powers, gives Congress the right to
pass the Bank Bill, unless a law most 1
proper to carry into effect the power to
collect and distribute the revenue should ,
be excluded by that provision.
The opponents of the constitutionality 1
of the Bank place'great stress upon the ,
word 44 necessary," contained in the
grant of power, and insist that no law can (
be necessary but such, that without.which
the power could not be carried into elfcct.
Now this construction appears to me to
be indefensible." It does seem to me,
that the words 44 Necessary and proper,"'
cannot exclude a law that is most proper
to carry the power into effect. Yet the
unconstitutionality of the Bank can be
pronounced only upon that construction..
It does appear to me that the framers of
the Constitution never could have inten-' .
ded to exclude the passage of a law most 1
proper to carry a power into effect because j
it might be carried imperfectly into effect i
by another law. My construction of the 1
grant of power to pass all laws which may 1
be necessary to carry the enumerated I (
n* . i j . i .
powers hho enuct luciuae me power 10 i
pass all which are necessary and power to i
carry the enumerated powers into effect
in the most perfect and complete manner, :
and not in an incomplete aud imperfect
manner.
I have seen a complete development of !
the President's plan of a Bank. It.is posable
that by his plan, the transmission of i
the revenue may be effected, but the safe- '
:y of the public depositee cannot be effec- J
ed by the President's plan. The advan- J
:agesof this security to the public incak |
:ulable. It ought not to be relinquished t
jnless it can be substantially proved that i
he Bank of the United Slutes is uncon< 1
itjtutional.
This, I think, cannot be satisfactorily.
shown. My speeches are recorded, and
:an be republished if necessary. They I
contain the result of the best investigaion
I was able to give to the subject. 1
am persuaded I could not improve upon ,
t, now, if I had the means of investiga* <
ing the subject, which I have not.
I am, Sir, your friend, &c.. 13
