Several families are here for health or pleasure, but the visitors are not as measures, the removal of Duncan K. McRae, Esq, Washington" (ex-General Zachary Taylor) ever since his inauguration as President, has act ed with more inconsistency with regard to his own pledges and promises, than any man of his day. He pretended to go into office unpledged and untrammeled by party prejudice, and so de clared himself in the most public and solemn manner. But how does his acts conform with his promises They certainly show to the world that be disregards his own words in a most wan ton manner. No sooner did he get the power than he made use of it in a way that is unworthy the occupant of the Presidential chair. To show the partizan spirit which prompts Gen. Taylor's administration in its proscriptive EDITOUIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Wilmington, N. C, July 14, 1S49. T arrived here on Wednesday at 1 o'clock, p. m., having left Fayetteville at 4 p. m., Tuesday. The Rowan is a very pleasant boat, and Captain Hurt makes his passengers as comfortable as if thev were at home. The fare is as good as the (are at the noieis, lnciuuin ice waitr, mum a great luxury on a river steamer. We should have made the trip sooner, but justice to Capt. Hurt and ills boat, makes it necessary to say that he lnd a heavy pole boat in tow nearly all the w uy . People here complain of the exceeding d ull jiess of the times. Money, they say, is more scarce than they have known it to be for years before There is scarcely any produce coming in. As for eatables, they are as scarce here as usual, if not more so ; except meat and lish. I find plenty of fish on the tables, but few vegeta bles, except ut the Hotel. Chickens are in great demand. The Washington Hotel, kept by Hutchins, seems to be the leading public bouse here; gets mo-tofthe travellers, ami has a high reputation. The servants are very attentive, and the fare is verv yood undoubtedly :is good as the market will" afford. 1 know nothing of the other Hotels except hy reputation. . -.1 1 'ill A I have conversed witn a numuer oi me uesi informed democrats about here, several from the courtly f New Hanover, and I cannot hear that Mr Keid is going to make any impression. Sev eral gentlemen of the whig party say they shall support him, and I am inclined to believe that the great majority of his supporters will be of that party. I doubt not, from what I learn, that 1 some of that party have bad some little agency in inducing him to oppose Mr Ashe. An intelligent gentleman of the county gives it as his opinion that Mr Reid will not get over 00 votes in Onslow, (where Mr R. counts on a good many) that be will not get over 150 in New Hanover ; ftd in Sampson and Duplin he will be beaten so bad be will forget he was a candidate. There is a letter in town from a gentleman whom I know to be well acquainted with public opinion in Sampson; and the letter s ivs Mr Reid will get hut very few votes in that county; that the democrats are very much in-1 censed at nisconise. SU)Il. Every democrat 1 have conversed with here expresses very strong disapprobation of Mr Reid's conduct, and is equally strong in the hope and belief that Mr Ashe will distance him so far before the people, that lie will hereafter be satis fied to bide his time. Several gentlemen here, of the whig party, formerly from Fayetteville, are betting hats and such trilles, that Mr Reid will beat Mr Ashe in Cumberland. I think they " count without their host." At least, I hop that old Cumberland, democratic to the core as she is, will show Mr Reid that she respects the voice of the democra tic Convention in which she had a full delega tion, and respects the delegates themselves who represented her in that Convention and more over, that she respects Mr Ashe, as a firm and true democrat, as well as for the days of lang svne ." when he was an inhabitant of her soil, and an ornament to her society; more than she does one whose ambition makes him play false to his friends and to his consistency. I am informed that Mr Reid is electioneering against Mr Ashe, (not on the stump, but in his "bushwhacking excursions") on account of his (Mr Ashe's) part in tie last Legislature, on the subject ot Internal Improvement in North Caro lina. If such is the fact, how it is possible Mr Reid can reconcile such a course, with honor and consistency, I cannot see. I have it from gentlemen here who know, that Mr keid was a lobby member from Wilmington, and had his ex penses paid by the citizens of Wilmington, to use all his exertions to obtain the passage of a law, at the session of 1S16-7, for the taxation of the property in Wilmington to build the Man chester Railroad. I am told that it was upon this ground that his nomination here for the Commons, by a Convention, was repudiated, which made it necess3iy for all the candidates for the Legislature to resign and another Con vention to assemble; which Convention nomi nated the same candidates, except Jifr Reid. And his zeal in that measure led to his being sent to Raleigh by the Wilmington people, as a lobby member, to influence members of the Legislature to vote for that bill, at the session of '10-7. And every body here believes Mr Reid as fully com mitted to support the measures of last session as Mr Ashe is. It is reported here by some of the whigs, that nn Mok'av favors Mr Reid's election. It is very easily to be seen why the whigs who are opposed to Mr Ashe, should propagate a rumor of that sort; but I beli.ve I am warranted in sayiag that it is not true; for Gen. McKay was here since the 4th of July, and he hardly would have carried a double face. The weather here is pleasant ; a good breeze comes from the sea, across the strip of country east of Wilmington, which moderates the heat of the sun. But sometimes it is hot and sultry. Smithville, July 16. I arrived here on Saturday afternoon, in the steamer Dudley. The cars did not get in until half past 3, and we had the cool of the day. Ran down against a stiff cool breeze from the sea in 2J hours distance 30 miles. The sea air made my flesh and clothes, and hair, as moist as if I had taken a bath. The weather was delightful numerous as I expected to find them. I am sorry that our own delightful places of summer retreat are not more patronized by North Carolinians than they are. Smithville is equally as pleasant as Cape May, if the people would only visit it to make it lively, and get its name up. Mr Ma son is obliging and attentive, and has a pleasant house, giving a full view of the river and inlets, Fort Caswell, lighthouses, &c. Let me urge the people of North Carolina who go off for re creation, to give Smithville a call. W. H. B. U. S. District Attorney for North Carolina, is a prominent example : This gentleman held the office when Gen. Taylor went into power, and that he was both competent and capable, nobody has ever denied or can deny. Yet he was re moved and why ? Because he was a democrat, and advocated the principles he cherished. The office was then tendered to a whig of Ra leigh, Henry W. Miller, Esq., who refused to ac cept it, thinking probably that he deserved an office worth more than $300, for the long-winded speeches he made during the last Presidential campaign. fd- Our subscribers at Rollins' Store complain It was then offered to Wm.

A negro boy by the name of Sam, belonging to Mr Saml. W. Tillinghast of this place, on Tuesday last, attempted to shoot his wife, who belongs to Mr Wm. G. Matthews, by twice snapping a loaded gun at her ; she making her escape, he discharged the contents of the gun at his wife's mother, wounding her but not mor tally. He then loaded the gun, and putting the I public spirited whi whence it came. We do not suppose that either of the above gentlemen ever desired or asked Gen. Taylor for the office; for if they had, they would undoubt edly have accepted it. And this shows that the removal was made upon party grounds, and noth ing else. What will Gen. Taylor do with the office now? He has been twice rebuked by members of his own party, and we suppose he would feel rather awkward it he had to give the office to a demo crat after taking it from one.

This distinguished statesman has written a letter to the Washington Union, entirely refuting the assertions of Col. Webb of the New York Courier and Enquirer, that he (Gen. Cass) entertained favorable views of some of the leading whig measures. We make the following extract from the letter: "I am accused ofinconsistenrj, amount ing to dishonesty, in my opinions concern- in a protective tarirl, internal improve ments, and the extension of slavery- The t w first I shall dismiss very briefly, but very exnlicillv.

We have often heard of men seeking office from the President, but we don't recollect of ever knowing a President to have to search for an officer, as General Taylor has had to do. Will the honest people who supported Gen. Taylor because he prefessed to be a no-party candidate, justify the course he is pursuing? We think they will not and cannot. P. S. We see by the Washinnton Union of the Mth, that Hiram W. Husted has received the appointment. Whether he has accepted it or not, we have not heard. For the Carolinian. Mr Editor: Can you inform one of this community, why it is that at Fayetteville the branches of the Kank of Cape Fear and of the Bank of the State of North Carolina are charging I5 per cent for exchange on the north, while at the same time the mo ther Banks at Wilmington and Raleigh are checking at 1 per cent.? Why are not exchanges uniform, or that this communi ty, be subjected to the necssity of procur ing checks from these places or pay per cent more r Can it be wondered that frequent de mands are made upon our Banks for spe cie, while our notes are so undervalued at headquarters, which I apprehend would not be the case if not such inducements were held out by depreciating our notes at home. Our sister Banks in South Carolina are checking at 1 per cent on the north, and hence it is that their State Bank notes are sought after. Perhaps some of your readers can give us the reasons why it is so. I think it should not be the case. MANLY. ABOLITIONIST ARRESTED. A man by the name of Barret was arrested in Spartanburg,?- C.

MR CALHOUN'S ADDRESS. Hon. John C. Calhoun has published an ad dress to the southern people, in reply to one delivered by Col. Benton, in the city of Jefferson, on the '2Gth of May, charging Mr Calhoun with being a disunionist, and .trying to work himself into the Presidential chair by arraying the south against northern fanaticism. Mr Calhoun ably defends himself against the anathemas of Mr Benton, and places the Col. in a very ridiculous position. Last winter the Legislature ofMissouri, pass ed resolutions similar to those of 1S47, adopting the Missouri compromise line as the boundary of free soilism opposing the Wilmot proviso, and pledging that Missouri would be found in hearty co-operation with other slaveholding States in every measure deemed necessary for protection against the lawless aggressions of abolitionism. These were regarded as instructions to her Sena tors; but Col. Benton, who contends that Con gress has the right to exclude slavery from new Territory, appealed from the action of the Le gislature, to the people, by stumping it over the State. In these stump speeches, Mr Benton makes some wanton and bitter assaults upon Mr Calhoun, whom he seems to regard with a jealous eye Senator Atchison, the colleague of Mr Benton, has given his views upon the Wilmot proviso and the Missouri resolutions. Senator A. dis agrees in toto with Islx Benton condemns the Proviso as unconstitutional and unjust and ac knowledges the right of instruction. It is said that Col. Benton will not be sustain ed by the people of Missouri ; and no doubt he will go the wall after he fails in his present effort. For the Carolinian. i THE PLANK ROAD. Mr Editor : You published in your last paper, a short account of the met-ting of the stockholders iu the Kayette ville and Western Plank Road company, from which it appeared that the Road had been located so as to run from this place to I urchiuou's Factory thtnee to Car thage, and through Johnsonville, Ashboro'. and Lexington to Salisbury. It cannot be disguised or denied that the people of this place preferred the route by Watson's Bridge rather than that by Carthage, as was plain, not ouly from all the votes in the meeting, but also from the strong ex. predion of feeling and opinion, both in public and private. The large vote cast by the Board of Internal improvenients, aided by the votes of the few friends of the Central route but still more by the support of many stockholders here, who united with tnem in a spiru. oi cuiupiuiuim, resulted in giving to the Road its present location. Now that the matter is settled, why need we sutler our disappointment to work a prejudice to our interests ? Whe a before did we ever engage in any scheme of Im provement, in which we have come so near to entire and complete success as in this ? Will the Plank Road do us no good? Are we williug now to relinauish the chances of a better day and throw ourselves back to the position we held six months ago? Who will say we arc not better off, far better, with the Plank Road located as it is, than we should be without any Road at all ? Is it nothing to have the trade of Ran dolph. Davidson. Guilford, Stokes and other rich counties of the State? Let our citizens think dispassionately and coolly of this matter. We are not ruined, we are not un done; and though disappointed and feeling the disappoint ment keenly and sensitively, let us not punish ourselves for an eveut which we sought earnestly and faithfully to avert. If wronged if injustice has been done to us in this matter if our wishes and feelings have been thwarted bv those who proclaimed in our midst that the interests ri.-..,otv;iiun.i the intirsts of tbe State were identi ty 1 J ---- ' cat one and inseparable if our hopes have been excited by seductive promises of co-operation from the ' powers i..t i.

We need not. we cannot, reproa ch ourselves we have done our duty in this matter. Though we were strongly and warmly for the Northern route, we submit cheerfully to the decision that has been made. We are fully of opinion the rianK ioaa wm uo us great good. Let us then set to the work in earnest let us accomplish and complete it without delay, and it shall be the source of blessings innumerable to us and to our posterity. CROSS CREEK. Correspondence of the Carolinian. Washington, 11. C , July 16. We have had no further report from our Board of health in relation to the Cholera, nor have we heard any rumor of any case in this City.

From the Editorial remarks in the Observer, it would be presumed that the citizens of Fayette ville were quife satisfied with the location of the Plank Road, and very quietly acquiesced in the decision of the Governor and Board of Internal Improvements. So far from this being the fact, at no time was the community ever more excited never has such feelings of bitterness been ex hibited. Their hopes and expectations have been blasted. It was confidently expected, as they were the principal private stockholders, they would be permitted to locate the road in such a direction as would afford some prospect of reve nue. When Governor Manly, in a short address made to the multitude assembled to greet his coming, avowed that he had corne with the purse of the State, and at the same time, with feelings of the utmost kindness towards the old Town ready and willing to co-operate in ..11 measures to im prove its condition, and with no disposition to control the action of its citizens, the fear ex cited were allayed, and we thought there was no disposition on the part of the State to give the Road a direction from hichthe Old Town could derive but little benefit. The declarations of the Governor were received with the utmost enthu siasm; and for a time no man was more popular. Had Gov. Manly in the outset apprized us that we should not be permitted to locate the road in any other direction than the southern or central route, we should have submitted with the best grace we could; but after ostensibly taking a neutral position, during two days of excited, and against the other, wasningion saw mis among other evils that would endanger the Uniow he had done so much to establish, when he penned his taiewell aduress.

Not so in the small Towns and villiages where all come upon mat with hearts overflowinir with srati- tude, their vows are renewed, in the pur est feeling of patriotism, which perfumes the very air they breathe. At these parti zan celebrations, what is heard ? One par tv says unless toe rule, the country is ruined, the other party say, unless we rule, ihe country is ruined. Experience gives the lie to both. Let the 4th of July be celebrated as a National day, and as to who shall rule, why the people, guided by an ever watchful Providence,, will regu late that particular part of our system. Since the news of the Queen's action on the indemnification bill has been received in Canada, rapid strides have been made towards annexation. Several of the news papers warmly advocate it, as the only means of prosperity for the country to adopt. One, if not two, new papers have been commenced for the avowed purpose f contending for a speedy annexation to this country.
