before the Public:
Doct J. d. BoyD.
Sir Your note Of this date is before me, and
as Mr Smiths friends seem &c apprebend tina, has
character for truth will be assaulted" give below
the substance of the conversation, rocolloc 1t,
which occurred between Mr.. Smith and Doci. G.
w. Caldwell in the piazza Of the mansion house,
abou. the time Of the Congressional election IN
August last.
Doctor Caldwell was complaining that his wifes
relations had always opposed him m politlcs, and
not only So but had endeavored to injure hlm 9Th.
erwise. Mr.. Smith replied that he was one .. the
relations, aGd denied that they had opposed Dr..
Caldwell, but that be DIR c. had changed some
years ago and was opposing them. DIR. Caldwell
denied that he had ever acted incunsisently IN po
lics to which Mr.. Smith replied lha: some thought
he had acted so in relation to a division OF the Cuun
~. DR.. Caldwell seemed To become very much
excited, aud said he had heard that he had been
charged BY some people If town, with defeating
the bill for division, which charge was laise but
since they had mado 50 much talk about Il, the
County HeeeT should be diride5 but he intended 10
lace the Court House m0ued gatoUardS The t0Io.
tT end " II, aud That rouid 6Olc thtSe merchants IN
Charlotte to the ID, oT they had all been opposed
to division until the bill was lost, and then they
had turned round and were trying 10 break him
dswn by charging him falsely With the very thing
they wishcd--mtaning the loss OF The bill.
There was some further conversation between
DR.. Caldwell and Mr.. Smith before / lett, but as
have stated the part IN question, do dot think ii
necessary TO state any more.
For tho reason mentioned in my note Of yester.
day, hope this will not be used, unless it should
become necessary in defence Of Mr.. Smith raar,

noticed PARTICULAR the conduct Of Govern
ment officers in buying large quantity Of
Corn and transporting it to the Western
I part Of North Carolina for the use Of the
Indians and after 1t got there the officers
found they had too much. The Corn cost
the Government 81 80 per bushcl, it was
there sold from 9 to 90 cents per bushel,
according to the quantity sold. He also
noticed the appointment Of an officer who
had 10 travel 1000 miles 10 render three
days duty, who received $500, which
could have been performed no doubt BY
some man on the spot, but some friend Of
The Administration must have an opportu-
nifty of sucking largely of" Treasury pap. "
In his address be remarked that il was very
easy 10 say million and quarter Of dol
lars, but lie asked if they had ever calcu-
lated how large sum these seven little
words expressed, or had ever estimated
bow many wagons il would take, at 1 600
lbs. to the wagon, TO carry 81 100000 in
gold OF silver 1t takes, continued he,
fellow citizens, Just NINETEEN WAGONS AND
rHREE-QuARTERs aud this vast sum Of
your money was stolen BY single officer
OF Mr.. Van Buren's administration -
Samuel SwaItwout. And it would take
40 WAGONS, at 1900 lbs. each TO carry
the amount annually expended by Mr.. Van
Burens economical administration.
Mr. Morchead noticed Mr.. Poinsetts
plan for the reorganization Of the Militia
aud exhibited pretty plainly 10 view the
danger Of such system. Even admitting
that Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr.. Poinsett,
were honest IN their notions, vet 1t would
be putting power IN the President which
might fall INTO the hands Of bad man.
Say for instance, that the President had
the power Of calling out 400 men at this
time for drili--well, here comes on an i'm
portant election, Governor and Members
to the Legislature, well the President wants
his friends electcd-just before the cleo
ton he orders out the Militia in Wing
counties aud III Van Buren, counties few
days after the election, 10 rendezvous in
South Carolina for drill, how easy it would
be for him to succeed IN carrying his point.
Just in the same way might the Presiden.
tlal election be carried.

present Of both parties, and We know that

celent sentiments, both political, moral,
mperate, and iocose. Among the best
is one BY Speaker Winthrop, Of Massa-
chuSctts, which he delivered at Bridge
water, aud prelaced thus;
"No Massachusetts, man, he said, could fail to
feel peculiar pride as he cast his eye over the
great Declaration, which had made this day inl-
mortal, at finding at the head of the roll, and
written in that noble hand which seemed TO have
been destined tor that precise distinction, the
name of JoHN HANCOCK, one OF the prescribed
Massachusetts patriots, whom tae British Gene
raj expressly excepted from his proclamation Of
pardon in l775. Now, it was owing to tue act
of RENJAMlN HARRIso>, Of Virginia, the father
of Wulrlu urNRY, that Massachusetts, enjoyed
its proud pre.eminenco ON the roll of lndepend-
ence. 1t was related that, when the Continental
Compress were about to choose a President, Ben.
JAulS HARRISON resigned his own p:rtcusons,
and took JOINS H,NCocK By the hand and placed
him in the chair, eNclamng, We will show
