FEDERAL ADMISSIONS.

! The Oxford Examiner says we have nothing to
look for but hard blows from Mr. GILLIAN yet he is
against National Bank So he strike that insti-
tuition with his right hand what he hits
with his left.
The Examiner admits that it was mistaken in
saying that Mr.. HESTER Democratic Republican
representative from Granville, was opposed to- the
Sub Treasury. The editor says he has declared
himself opposed to the specie feature of that meas
ure; which gave rise to the mistake.
| correspondent of the Western Carolinian,
whose experience in public life the editors say, en-
titles his speculations to some attention, says:
81 say then what will the Legislature do q
First.-There is decided majority against VAN
BUREN-therefore there can be no expression made
| in his favor. SecOndLy.-1 have shown you that
there is still stronger majority against MIR CLAY,
therefore, expression be made in his favor
Thirdiy.-There is majority against WEBSTER,
and every other candidate spoken Of and therefore
it is than probable that no movement whatev-
er will or can be successfully made on the subject
of the next Presidency.
"On the subject of National Bank-You will
find that there is majority in both Houses against
it without shadow of doubt there is In the Sen
ate } therefore, there can be recommendation of
that measure; possibly there may be expression
of opinion against it,
GAS regards the Sub-Treasury.-It is equally
certain, there can be no action on this subject. A
ma aority of the Commons probably against it,
but majority of the Senate are in favor of it so
that one branch will checkmate the other, and pre-
vent any action whatever"
There is one point in the above, well as in the
declarations Of the Federal press which is some
what singular; viz: that there is majority against
Mr. VAN BUREN, and yet majority in favor of his
measures, certainly in the Senate, and perhaps in
the Commons. Are we to understand that such is
the deadly personal hostility entertained by por
ton of the people against Mr. VAN BuREN, that they
will "curse him tho he bless" the country? We
think not.
1t is some qualification to to find that the state
ments we have made have not exceeded the truth
in regard to the favorable aspect Of the Legislature
but have fell far short of tive ask not those who
have accused us of misrepresentation to correct the
error-our appeal is to an intelligent public the
facts will be vindication.
And now we should like to know on what ground
the Federal presses of North Carolina have claim
ed victory for their party-if the Democratic Re-
pubcans are no better off than at the last session.
the Federalists have fair prospect of being in a
much worse situation, and it is pretty certain they
will not have majority in either House in favor
of their favorite and his bank. Take CLAY and a
National Bank from them, and the right and left
arms of Federalism cut of-they can brag it is
| true-but that is all.

The farmers pay for it. Your banks do the same
thing and thus we are made to pay for the sup

like the merchants, if they will charge US a fair
profit and be content with their own; bu: after
pa wing for their bread and meat and all they eat,
drink, and wear-their newspapers, horses car

tell US we must furnish money for their banks
to lend out and for them to borrow, and, be-
cause we are unwilling to do so, be called
