To the Editor Of the Raleigh Register ::
SIR:-I regret that indispensable duties have
prevented me from addressing a second letter to
you before this and more especially, as you have
mistaken the tenor of my first In noticing it,
you make me charge you with Inconsistency,
think sir, if you will give me second perusa
you will find that the first left you with an erro-
neous impression. / never made the charge
1 repeat. land think proved in my first letter.
that by your own language the Harrisburg Con-
vention has sacrificed the only hope that south
ern "Whig" could have had for success, by nom--
mating WIN. HENRY HARRISON" Is this zen
deaVoring to convict you of Inconsistency ?"
No sir, it is not "incOmsistemey for hosting the
Harrison flag" that l charge you with, but
thorough and sudden change ofaopinion as to
General Harrison's claims and prospects for the
Presidency
AS my first letter on the prospects of Gen.
HARRISON, / will continue that subject, and
leave his claims until the last
In the Register of the 9TH January, you say.
"you are often charged by your friends with
being OF two sanguine temperament, and may
entitIe yourselfto fresh remark, by expressing
the opinion, as you do, that Gen. HARR1soN's
ELECTORAL vote will not fall far short of TWO
HUNDRED" How can you sir expect it to be
otherwise when you hold out to them, such
falacious prospects? Did you not tell your
readers in 1888 that HENRY CLAY was the onLv
man that could unite the "Whigs' of the South
ern, Eastern, Middle and Western States, and
lead them to a sure and glorious victory Q"
Is 1T not reasonable then, sir, that your friends
should doubt your prediction in 1902 During
the last year. your opponents have gained in n
York Pennsylvania. Maryland New Jersey,
Virginia. North Carolina. South Carolina, Geor-
g'a' Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana,
LOUISIANA Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, and
Missouri And in some Ofthese States, you have
0een routed horse. foot and dragoon," Well NAV
your friends charge you with being too Sanguine.

timed Mr. Goode, who began at IL and spoke
till half past P. Nj. before he told the Speak
er that he had risen to make few remarks about
the Cumberland Road, I" and as he thought he had
in these two hours, said enough to satisfy all hon
orable men ID this nation, that they ought to vote
for the hero of North Bend, by showing them that
he was a warrior, patriot, farmer, statesman,
and just such as they should vote for against
little Van for President, he would make remark
or two upon that question-the Road! l thought
if he were but then commencing about the Road
would be off. He spoke, as was told by friend,
quarter Of an hour more when Mr.. Corwin got
the floor and spoke some 10 or 20 minutes, when
the House adjourned till Monday when petitions
are in order and he will not get the floor until
Tuesday. On that day we shall have full hear
ing about Tippecanoe. He had not mentioned
the Cumberland Road on Saturday, at the adjourn
ment, and will not perhaps, till late on Tuesday
Evening or Wednesday morning. He is 'whig'
of the first water; man oe talents, and will make
good speech for Harrison, doubt, and long
one-and he may say a word or two about the
Road before he quits, should he think of it.

The length of the Presidents Message. is
our apology for the exclusion of some valuable
matter from our columns, this week, which
shall appear at an early date. We have tho't
best to publish it all in one edition, as a dvis-
ion deprives our readers OF forming correct
idea of the topics contained therein.
The Message of Mr.. Fanf Buren, is u very
able one. As has been said. his vindica,ion of
the financial policy Of his Administration is
mastery and complete. He has made the
issue distinctly before the country, between
his measures on the one hand, and Il National
bank, and National debt policy OIL the other.
He establishes satisfactorily, that the Sub Treas
ury, during the short time i'll which, it has
been in operation, has worked well. Time
will show. whether the new Administration,
when it shall come into 'ver, will propose
any thing better for the country Judging from
present appearances, we do not beaeve that
the Wings can unite in the support of a
National Bank. lfthry repeal the Sab I cas-
ury law, they will be forced to fall back upon
the old exploded deposit system. The course
OF the new Administration will be surrounded
with difficulties. Gen Harrison will no, iiuI his
path strewn with roses.
