long to oo party exclusively. but to all parties which
bow exist, or whieh will hereafter txist. And be is
the most fatal foe to .Southern interests, who utempts
to identify it with either of the two great contending
parties into which the country is nuw and probably
always will be divided. We believe, that while the
whole North is oppoaed to Slavery in tha abstract,
wot ons ina hundred of the voters arc yet in favor of
touching the rights of the South. Hut, if we
force either one party or the other into an alliance
with them, is it not apparent that we run the ha
zard of throwing, at any moment, the puliiical power
0f those States into the hands ul tits Fanatics ’
And when that shall cotne to pass, the evil day will
be upon us, when, having exhausted the argument,
we must stand to our amts.

SENATOR RIVES.
We wetc fonieurli.it astonished, at meeting with
the following paragraph in llte last Charlottesville
Jeffersonian—which is generally understood to be
the organ of Senator Rives :
••The illiberal Icelings and prejudice! of the
Lychburg Virginian, towanls Mr. Rives, so iisbitu- [
ally Jiltort every thing in which his name occurs,!
that we ought not, perhaps, to have been very much
surprised, as we weie, at ns unaccountable miscon
struction of the rcmaiks, with which we prefaced the
eitiact Iron) the Fndciick Times; but if the object
of the Virginian is really to do justice, let it re pub
lish our rental ks, and let ns reader, see how little
vdaiinn there is for its commentary, so far as they
r''concerned.”
We deny, in loin, the existence of “tlic feeling*
nnd prejudices" .nctibrd to ns—nor was there any
thing in our ** commentary" to justify their iinf>ut«i
lion. So far fiom it, %vc have not (infrequently de
fended Mr. Ilives against the cutting sarcasms and
harsh invectivm«of some of hi* late friends, who now
fiat* him with an intensity at least equal to their former
love. Indeed, wo have been mote than once accused,
toy our friends, ol looking with a too lenient rye upon
some of hi* political acts, and interposing impro
perly to screen him from their, as we thought, too
hitter rebukes. Hut let that pass. We shall here
sfier, as we have heretofore done, speak n( Mr.
Rives as, in our opinion, his conduct sh ill merit
praise or denunciation, “setting down naught in
malice," though we may sometime* utter a word is
extenuation.
In the mean while, we cheeifiillv comply with the
request ol the (diailottovillc editor, to rrpuhhsh
lus remarks, upon which our “ commentary,M of
which lie complains, was founded.
From the Charlottesville Republican.
In giving place to the following article fiom the
Fred. pMd.) Tinn s wo t ike this opportunity ol say
ing that, i i our opinion. Air. Rivks'h object inoppo
*ing the stib-Treasury scheme, and in bringing for
ward his bill for the employment of the State hanks
«• the depositories ofthe public money, has been to
advance correct Republican docilities, to give Ins
aid in sust aining the prosperity of the People, and in
upholding the free institutions of the country; and
not with a view of being brought lorward by the
People, for the Presidency. Il In* labors have had
or shall have, the desired elf ct, he will rem ain satis
fied with h iving pet foimed ins duty l.iitlifullv ; and
his aspiration* extend mi further than to bn the repre
sentative of his slate io the comic Is ol the nation,
should the People still desire him to occupy his
present honorable position. It elevated public sta
tions had been desired by him, he could have had
them, for both the present and the file Kxecutives
urged them upon him. He chose to he the ser
vant of ihe People, and experience lias shown us
ilia! his usefulness has bee.; the greater for Ins
choice.
Here foil *wed an article fiom tin* Frederick
Times, nominating Mr. Rives lor the Presidency,
and calling t pon the Whigs to rally under hi* ban
ner, but explicitly stating that if they should decline
to do so, tint paper would support Mr. Van Hu
ren*s election, in preference to any member of the
Whig party, wdiose support it at the same time in
voked for All. Rives. The ground of the Char
lottesville Republican’s complaint, we presume, is
(hat we intimated that that paper hid endorsed tin
article from tile d unes — whereas, we suppose, il in
lentled to be understood as dissenting fiorti so much
vfit as nominated Mr. Rives to the Presidency. It
may b* very well for the Charlottesville paper to
make this disclaimer on behalfuf Mr. Rives ; Few
persons, however, will believe that Air. Rives would
decline a nomination to the Presidency, if lie sup
posed that there was a reasonable hope of success—
nnd none can suppose that his friend of (he Rcpub
henu would consent that he should limit his “aspira
tions" to lus present station, if the prospect of a high
er elevstion were at all nattering. Nor do wc cen
sure Mr. Rives for this. It is an “ honorable am
nit 10ii, and exalt* him who i* inspired by if, if lie ,
use no unworthy meins to “climb the steep where
Fame's prou 1 temple shines af..r.” Ws are aston
ished, therefore, that our “commentary” should
have given offence—and we aie sure pci sons les*
sensitive than Mr. Rives and his friend, the Kditor,
would have seen nothing offensive in it. Pei lisps,
loo, it would have been light, when the Kditor cal
led upon us to “republish Ins remarks,” that he
should have “enforced precept by exam; le,” by
copying our**, which, had he done, we are sure his
roadcis would have been t ot less astonished at the
“ illiberal feelings and prejudices” which ilislurtrd
their meaning, than be was at the construction which
he accused us of giving to his article.
“THE ARMED NEUTRALITY.”
Our reader* may recollect, that, in the No*, on
** tile Principles and Policy of the Conservatives,’*
which we some weeks ago transfered to our column*
fronuhe Charlottesville Jeffersonian, and which are
generally supposed to have been written by Sena
tor Rives himself, or by one closely allied to him, and
•authorized to express his sent iments.il was somewhat
-ostentatiously asserted that the position of the Conser
vatives was that of “a* Armed Neutrality*' between
4he Whig and Democratic parties—in other words,that
they would co-operate with neither. Judge, than,
of our surprise, when, on opening the last Jefferso
nian, we met with the following paragraph :
“ Dr. Charles CocUe has announced himself in
‘the lam Advocate as a candidate for the Senate in
iliisdistrict. A suitable opponent will be found for
the Spring campaign. The Advocate need not lay the
flattering unction to itself,that its friend the Doctor,
is to walk over the course; whether his opponent he
a“ corn-larvative," to quote the elegant diction ol
one of the Albemarle whig party, or a sub-treasuiy -
i*e,it will be the same to us, we shall support him.”
So, the Conservatives are to bo no longer “ aimed
neutrals,” but active partisans—even the Sub-Trea
•ury having suddenly lost all its deformity in their
eyes! Most persons, however, will bo apt to think |
that this is a “scurvy trick,” alter all—that tile;
Jtfletsonian cliquc having already fixed upon the op- j
ponent of Dr. Cocke, and that opponent being a
Conservative, this prolfcr of the tight hand of fellow* j
•hip so unexpectedly to the “ Sub-Tieasuryites" is
merely designed to catch their votes for the aforesaid !
Conservative ! Is this so ? If ,t is, jt i, rig|lt cun
ning. but we doubt whether it will take. Did the
Jeffersonian never hear the old stoty, how a certain
man tried to sit on two stools at once, and how both
•tools tipped over and lie fell to the ground? The
•tory is a simple one—but there is an instructive mor
al in it nevertheless, which certain Conservatives
would do well to pondet.

Democrat of the Jackson school, lie "must pro-'

it. Ne would have heea a flaming Whig now if

IVIakiiig the Whig majority thus far 8; and the
\V lug gain 13. It will he remembered, however,
that five of the seven members from South Caroli
na, who %vert; elected to the 25th Congress an op
ponents of the Administration, and whom we lute
placed in that division of the above table as Whigs,
are thorough-going Sub-Treasuiy men, and during
•lie last two sessions gave a general support to the
Administration. They should therefore he struck
"11 the Whig list in the present Congress. This
would reduce our present number of members from
the States above mentioned to 59—instead of G4 —
and our actual gain in the next Congress according
lv ought to be set down as 18 instead of J J.
Eleven States, sending 95 members, vote next
•Spring. An estimate of results is made bv the N.
^ . Express, which comes to the conclusion that the
Whig majority in the next H otisc of Represent.!- I
live w ill not be less than 40.
ay* Rumors are rife of contemplated removals
from office in Washington. Having but a short
time to run, it is deemed prudent to provido for ;»9
many of the party as possible before the whole batch '
are scourged from Washington, as the mouev -chan
gers were from the temple.
(!_/*' A lettor from Washington to the N. Y.
American states that a strict investigation is making
into the accounts of several high officers in the Ex
ecutive Department." Do they apprehend more
defalcation among the Sub-Treasurers?
N( )R ril CAROLINA.—The Legislature of this
State convened at Raleigh on the 10th inst. The
Senate adjourned after two ineffectual attempts to e
lect a .Speaker. Mr. Joyner (Whig) and Mr. Wilson
(\ . IE) received 22 votes each. Three Whigs ab
sent and 1 V. Burenite. It was a strict party vote,
except that Mr. Carson of Rutherford, heretofore
counted as a Whig, voted for Mr. Wilson. He is
supposed to he one of Mr. Calhoun's corporal’s guard.
In the House of Commons, Win. A. Graham
(\\ hip) was elected Speaker on the first ballot, by
12 votes over Michael Hoke (V. IE) showing a de
cided Whig majority on joint ballot. In the II. of
C. also it was a strict party vote, except that Mr.
Bedford of Ruthciford, elected as a Whig, voted for
Hoke, and Mr. Siler of Macon (adin.) voted for Gra
ham.
IE S. Later accounts say that Mr. Joyner was e
Iccted next day.
THE TRUE SPIRIT—Tlie” Card, of Dr. li.
Egan of Henry, and I)r. Cliatle. Cocke of Albe
marie breathe the spirit of true Whig, and genuine
Patriots. “ Every thing lor the cause ; nothing
fur men"—is a noble motto, though it came Irom a
corrupt and polluted source.
The Canvass.—The Danville Reporter of Friday,
states that Messrs. Witcher and Coles " were ex
pected to meet at the court-house of Pittsylvania on
Monday, but we understand that Mr. Coles, having
no relish for further beating, declined the discussion,
which made one say that he cried out * enough,’ i
and asked that his antagonist might be * taken otf!”
Messrs. Witcher and Tunstall wore to speak in
Danville last Saturday, "on matters ofgreat pub
lic interest."
It is stated in the same paper that “ Messrs. !
Stuart ami Hoggin, candidates fur Congress, in the ^
Bedford district, addressed the people of Henrv at
their last Court, and that the present incumbent
smutted under the speech of hit competitor. The
impression begins to prevail that Mr. Stuart will be
telievfd from the duly of taking the oath of fidelity
to the Constitution again."
(J^e» We understand that Hfxrt E. Watk'-'s,
Esq. of Prince Edward, was nominated as the
Whig candidate for Congress, in the Buckingham
District, by the District Convention, which assem
bled at Prince Edward courthouse on Monday last.
irrMr. John Smith, the V. B.candidate intlte va
cant Vermont Congressional District, has been elec
ted hy a majority of 223. Mr. Smith is an Aboli
tionist—but never thelcss the Richmond Enquirer
rejoices at his election ! He is a Van Boren min !
MORMON WAR EN DBD.—The St. Louis]
Gazette of the 8th inst. announces that the Mor- |
tnons, 700 in number, armed, had surrendered to a I
force of 3000 men,under Gen. Atchinson, ordered out j
by the Governor of Missouri. Six of their leading
men, including Joe Smith, the prophet, were sur
rendered as hostages. On the day after the surren
der Gen. Atchinson received orders to trjiel or tr
Icrminale the Mormons; but shocked at the severi
ty of the command he refused to execute it, aud re
lumed home. Forty of the Mormons were after
wards murdered in cold blood ; and of another squad
of them, 36 in number, it is said, all but 4 were mas
sacred ' The number of these dsluded fanatics are
5000, men, women and children. If they arc driven
from their homes, en masse, the question arises,
where are they to go! and who ts to pay them for

To the voters of the (\>n gressional District com po
red of the counties of lied fold, Franklin, Patrick and

r >:i.LOtv Citium* :—Yielding to the aolicitntions
ol partial Inends, I became a candidate In* your sul
(rages, reserving expressly to niysell the’ tight to
withdraw from the canvass, il at any lime du
nngiiM progiesN I deemed such a cotnse due to
ihe mircm of those piinciplcs, which I am most
solicitous to advance. Recent indications admon
ish us that the President ol the l ulled Stales is still
resolved, rovertly or openly, lo press upon the conn
try Ins Sub -Treasury scheme, so ohen repudiated
by the representatives of the people, and still mure
unequivocally denounced by the people them
selves, m their primary assemblies. The question
practically for {he consideration of the people is, i
shall the mandate ol (he President constitute the so
preme law ? Shall both liuuses of I’uugtcss de
generate, into mere chambers for registering Piesi t
dcntial edicts ? Or shall tin* people arouse them
selves in (licit might, vindicate the independence id
their representatives, and sccuto theii own libeitirs f
Shallow must bn the patriotism ol him, who. at .«
crisis like this, could place the indulgence ol his pri
vate aspirations in (he scale, lo wcich against liar
mony and concert ol action among tlie friends of con
ttitutional law. I saw that our opponents were re
juicing m our apparent division, and that our luends
were embarrassed and perhaps enfeebled in then ex
criions by the circumstance of two Whig candidates
seeking their suffrages. 'I lu re was but one mode
ol adjusting the pretensions of these candidates,
namely, a convention ol delegates horn the several
counties oi the District ; and in that mode I w as as
sured that many respectable Whigs entertained a ,
conscientious aversion. I compared opinions fully
w ith Mr. Hoggin, and was happy in find that between
us ihrie could be no niafeiial ground ol < ontroveisv;
and 1 at once determined, as lar *s depended on mv
action, to remove all cause ol etnbarTassinent.by re- i
tiling from the contest. It is duo to those friends,
who were instrumental in bringing my name to your
notice, to assure you, that in 'Ins course 2 was influ
enced solely by a sense of duty. As lar as my en
gagements pernuted me to mingle with the voters
ol the Distnct, I received assurances of encourage
mem and suppoif, which call lor mv most grateful
acknowledgments. Jl there are nnv of my friends
who are displeased at this cotnse, l regret it. On
ordinary occasions I would most gladly defer to their
wishes ; but in dtschaigmg what I regard as a high !
public duty, I must be permitted to act on mv own
aoDSC ol light. J( is gratify mg lo me to know that in'
withdrawing from the content I h ..vo the advocacy ol
Whig piinciplcs in able hands. It was my purpose
to explain in person to the voters ol Patrick and Bed
ford, as 1 have done to those of Franklin and Hen
ry, the motives which governed my course , hut
unforeseen engagements put it wholly nut of my
power to indulge my wishes in that respect. With
sentiments of deep giatitude lor numerous mantles
talious of kindness, I am vour lellow-cnizen,
