THE CABBAGE STATE IN A FER
MENT

The "SouM Caroline Cock Robins in a. futtcr.
A writer in the Charleston Mercury of the
3lst ult. uses the following chivalrous LAM
guage:
"Would il not be advisable for the Gov
ernor to call an extra session of the Lcgisla-
ture! The alarming condition Of the coun-
Try seems to us to require it. When Charles
ton was partially burnt down, the emergency
was universally deemed of sufficient impor-
lance to assemble the representatives of the
people In extraordinary convention. But
what was the destruction of few millions of
property compared to the dangers that over
hang US from the approaching extra session
OF Congress, and ,Ohich might be auerfed by
ne exercise Of A TIMELY FIRMNEss! Let the
Legislature meet, PUT TIE STATE UNDER COM
PLETE MILITARY ORGANIZATION, and instruct
the Governor, in case a national bank or pro-
tective tariff is enacted by Congress, to sum
mon forthwith Convention of the people Of
5. Carolina to deliberate on the measures ne
cessary to be taken in defence ofthcir liberties.
There should be no hesitation--no delay
Every thing depends on their bold, uncOmproni-
ising decision. His Excellency has pledged
himself to the world to meet the crisis, should
1t arrive, as it ought to be met. His respon-
sibility is great. Let him take no counsel OF
timid and interested politicians. The people
the people, whose servant he is-expect
him to do his duty.''
Ifs. Carolina cuts any capers which sa-
YOUR of rebellion, we would advise President
Tyler to send one Edward Stanly with his
show and arrows" to quell it. Before the
archer would have time TO draw more than
half dozen arrows from his culver the Chiv.
airy. would succumb.-Pet. Int.

TO THE VIRGINIA AND UNITED
STATES PUBLIC.

The subscriber proposes, if patronage will
warrant the enterprise, to publish in the city
of Washington, Daily Political Journal, to
be called the ''OBSERVER." If subscrip-
tionc will justify him, his wish is to issue the
first number on the first of June neXt-one
week or two at farthcst, after the commence
ment Of the Extra Session of Congress.
The Observer, if it goes into operation, will
criticise freely and unreservedly, the action
of the Federal Government, without ''fear,
favor, or affection" 1t will look for support
to the PEopLE, and the People only. Having
taken an active part in the election of Gen.
Harrison, ardently hoping and confidently
believing that his Administration will justify
the generous confidence, and fulfil the patri-
otto expectations of the American People, l
yet pledge myself to extend to it no undis-
eliminating support. shall be happy to
praise, but not afraid to censure. have
long ago promised my conscience never to be
q man worshipper, never to sustain any man
or any set of men, against the Constitution of
the country. This vow | mean to keep to
the best of my ability, so help me God !
If the People will sustain me in this at
tempt, the fruits of near &c years of editorial
experience shall be dedicated diligently and
laboriously, to render the Observer worthy Of
their favor. promise them and l will re-
deem it, that they shall have political print
at Washington, if notable, yet honest, faith
full and true to them and the cause of the
country, and the Rights Of the States and of
the People. Whether aprint is or is not re-
CURED at the Federal Metropolis, whose lean
ings shall be to the States and not to the Gen.
trail authority, leave it to the country to say.
throw ont these proposals now, intending
in short time to be more specific. | wish
to ascertain if there exists disposition tc
support a paper at Washington which will
give a cordial support to Gen. Harrison OF
any other President, while he entities himsel
to it by the Constitutlonality of his course
but which will primarily be jealous and dis
trustful of Federal power, and certainly more
prompt to attack its excuses than to acqui
esce in them, let who will be at the head Of
the Government.
AS the time is limited, request those who
are disposed to support me in this enterprise,
to announce it by letter.
