EXECUTIVE APPOINTME NTs

From recent indications, we may suppose the
following may form the cabinet of the next Presi-
dent-euphoniously styled, by his friends "Old
TIP
Daniel Webster, OF Mass. Secretary Of State
Mr.. Crittenden, of Kentucky, Attorney General.
John Bell of Tenn. Secretary of the Navy.
T. Ewing, of Ohio, Post Master General.
Thaddeus Stevens, of Penn. Sec. of War.
The above are all of which report speaks with
certainty. 1t is not supposed that North Carolina
will come in for any share in the prominent ap-
pointments, notwithstanding the recommendation
of" Ajax" Badger to Old TIP, as Attorney Gene
raj. Some inferior appointments have been spoken
of as likely to be given to the logcabin Orators
such as U. S. Attorney for N. Carolina, Collector
of the port of Wilmington, and U. S. Marshal
for any of which Mr.. Badger may stand good
chance the sneers of the Char
lesion Mercury-pretendibg not to know such a
man; calling him Baxter and Botcher! We can
tell the Mercury that Mr.. Badger has stipend
Gus notorely throughout territory of at least 8
miles square, bounded north by Crabtree, &c. that
he has at least dozen admrers-with whom, not
to know this gentleman is to know but little moth
ing-Botcher, indeed
The following is the article from the "Mercury,''
above alluded to:
misunderstanding Nawth haeena Wings are
certainly richly enlltled to the indignant sympa-
thes Of the universal Wing party. Old Tip has
treated them in way any thing but respectfully
and friendly. In his hot haste to fill his cabinet
while his hand is yet on the latch, he has made
Crttenden Attorney General in contemptuous OBJ
lviousness of the fact that the Wing of Old
Rips Legislature had most dsinteres,edly volun-
eered appointment 10 the place in the person of
a Mr.. Baxter or Botcher, somebody else, whose
name we forget, but great man in Nawth Kaee-
ma. What's worse, the old fellow does not seem to
have thought of any other Nawth Kaeenian for
any place. The least he can do when he is really
in will be to forward to the Chairman Of the eau
Gus a blank commission to be filed up out of that
honorable b1dy, at its own discretion, for the Con
sulship of the Island of Tom-gad-a-booh of the
Sciiiy Islands. Let the old man look to it, or be
ware of the Great Dismal. He may swamp his
nominee successor before the 4ih of March, if he
goes so; for every body says its Mr.. CLAY's
doing.

FOREIGN.

The steam ship Columbia, arrived at Boston,

9TH of last month.
Cotton continues to advance in price, and the
money market is improving.
1t is reported that the British have captured Pc
kin, the capital of the empire of China. This cap
ital encloses area of II miles, exclusive of the
suburbs, and is divided into two towns the one in
habited by Tarars and the other by Chinese. The
Chinese city has a wall of its own, enclosing an
area of nine square mles-the population is sup
posed to number 1000, 900. tiles in fertile plain,
20 leagues distant from the great wall. The re-
ported capture of this city is probably a mistake,
arising from the conquest of Cnusan, place Of
much less Importance.
Considerable excitement and alarm had prevail
ed at Newport. in consequence OF fresh Charlist
agitation in that place.
The news from France is not important. The
French paI ers conain warlike threats against Eng
land Further plots against the life of the French
king are spoken of.
There is a prospect of war between Spain and
Portugal A Spanish force has been marched to
the frontiers of Portugal, await definite answer
to certain demands, fixed for the 4th of January
1t is probable that Great Britain will interfere in
this quarrel, as she is the ally of Portugal.
There is probability of war between France
and Morocco in consequence of an insult offered
to the British Consul at Tangiers.
War ike preparations have commenced in Ger
many, in consequence of similar ones being made

combined Prussian, Austrian, and Confederate
Army has been resolved upon.

mr. Badger and the $500.

We find the following account of services rem
dered by Mr.. Badger, in the Fayetteville North
Carolinian of the 3Oth ut. for which our "whig,"
'reform," Economical" Legislature awarded him
the above sum. Our legislators must have been
very anxious to involve the State more deeply in
debt, to reward partzan, or both, from what we
perceive in the statement below
CHOW we have been Informed that the facts are
these: That Judge Badger went on TO Washing
ton to argue the cause remained there week or
two, visiting, and attending upon the debates in
Congress; came away without arguing it, and left
it in the charge of Mr.. Webster. As to his expen-
ses being 500, if necessary expenses are meant
it is as supremely ridiculous, as it is untrue. The
highest per diem board is So so; the highest
lCeakty board is $ Il and by the gear, good board
can be had in any Of cities, at from S 7 to
S 10 per week, and that the journey to and from
Washington city to Raleigh could not have exceed
ed 55. But months since, the whole fare from
Washington to Fayetteville, but S 21. So
that his Honor might have resided gear in Wash
ngton, for less than 8 500; and his actual neces-
sary expenses for the short time he did remain,
ought not to have exceeded S 100 AS TO the
value Of the suit being ''more than half million of
doIlars,'' it is all fudge and like the S 500 expen-
ses; humbrggery, to make the appropriation pass
with the people"

SHAMEFUL ABUSES.

We are told that some of the subscribers to
'whg" newspapers, are in the practice of behaving
in most scandalous manner. Some take the pa
per for awhile, and then deny having subscribed,
hoping to evade the payment by excuse for this
attempt to cheat. Others order the paper stopped,
when in arrears, and say not word about the pay
ment; thereby violating the terms of the contract
in the hope, no doubt, that the 'whlg" Editors
will not be able to enforce payment till the account
is out Of date, when they may have legal excuse
for sp0indLing. Others "cut stick" and leave both
Printer and Postmaster in the lurch Others, a
gain, much less criminal to be sure, than the fore
going, very forgetful to the "times and sea
sons, and let their accounts from year to year,
and then wonder that the printer should have the
impertinence to send "Collector'' to them! From
any and all of the foregoing we wish the "whig''
Editors a 'ssafe deverance." We notice these
matters, lest any Of our Democratic Republican
friends should tall into such negHgencies and
cT'inindLitieS.

mitted; but the "whig" Legislature of North Car
olina have a second time denied that doctrine-
They did it in the c,se of Messrs. Brown and
Strange, and we venture to predict that no Sena-
tor will ever be instructed by our Legislature, on
any subject, while the Federalists-miscalled
auhigs-have a majority.
The Star indeed admits that some among the
"whigs" do not "entertlin the doctrine of un-
qualified right of instructon-who think the only
constitutional remedy the people have against an
agent who refuses be governed by their opinions
is the ballot box" Very well. This is Federal
doctrine and we have accused the ''whigs" of en-
tertaining this doctrine; aud we say the Federal
Legislature of North Carolina carried it out at the
last session, in regard TO Mr. HIPS Resolutions,
and no reason or sophistry can change the fact or
avert the conclusion. "Some do not entertain the
doctrine"-says the Star-and why do not these
tsome" tell the people on the stump and through
the press ? Why do they profess to be "whigs''
democratic wings" and republicans while they
are federalists at heart2

year of his age.
memory, feels sensiby his inability TO do justice to
his worth; but this consideration shall not deter
him from attempting TO perform duty, at once
sacred and melancholy.
The deceased was a pupil of the writer, from the
commencement of his scholastic career and for
several consecutive years. and he can truly say thai
of the many who have been under his tuition
for series of years, none ever eVlnced happier
talent in acquiring a knowledge of the various
branches Of education usually impaired both in
primary and high schools. subsequently to the
termination of his academcal course, he was eII!-
ployed in mercantile house, in which. from the a.
bility and faitafuness with which he dscha rged
the various duties devolving on him. he attained
reputation that might be envied by persons greatly
his seniors in similar pursuit.
For short time previous to his death, he had
been engaged in the study of the Law, and his
friends entertained the most sangulne anucIpauons
of his attaining to eminence in that learned protes-
sion. But, alas an allwise Providence had de-
creed otherwise. The memorable monster, DEATH
came and tore our Logan from us, Notwithstanding
the PRAYERS Of friends, and the best medical aid.
His memory shall remain so long as truth has
votary, or virtue a friend. He an af1ectionate
child and brother, and kind, benevolent and char
liable friend.
His mortal remains lie lnhumed by the side Of
his dear mother who fell victim TO the same dis
ease.
Farewell Logan-long will thy memory be en-
balmed in the bosom of the near-stIicken friend
who has feebly portrayed thy character. When
the last trump shall announce that Time shall be
no more, may thy immortal spirit become reclpl-
ent of that bliss which time Circumstance can
e'er destroy. A DEVOTED FRIEND

THE STATE DEBTORS AND THE WHIGs.

During the session of the last Legislature, Res
oluton was passed, calling the Treasurer for the
names of the debtors to the Literary and Internal
Improvement Funds. The wings at frst were
alarmed at the proposition, and evinced great
deal of horror at exposing the names Of the debt
ors -; but finding it would operate greatly against
them to vote down the Resolution, they consented
by tacking on Resolution, to appoint Commute
to inquire into the solrency of the debtors. But
mark the duplicity of the whggery. They made a
great flourish in passing the Resolution, knowing
that they had door to creep out at. The Treasur-
er reported that he had the Bonds and therefore
could not give the names. The Resolution was
then re-considered and laid on the table. The
'swhigs" h I'd, during the electoneering canvass,
published the fact where it was known that Demo
crats had borrowed of this fund.- and greatly exag-
gerated the case; bat when they had the power to
mete out even handed justice, they faultered-be-
cause justice would not suit their purposes of de-
ception and humbug. The Treasurer would have
had difficulty in obtaining the Information from
the Governors Office; as we understand he had
on other matters. The people had right to know
the names of the debtors-it is their money, and
the creditor certainly hasa right to know the name
of his debtor. Bat this would not suit the "whgs,'
as the members of their party are undoubtedly the
largest borrowers and they could not think of ex-
posing their own eectioneering fasehoods by their
own Legislative acts

GEN,I. HARRISON AND ERALIsM.

In his speech at Fort Greenville, Gen. Harrison
said: ''Felow-citizens, you know that my oppo-
nents call me Federalist. But deny the charge
Il am not-I@never was Federalist. Federal
isis are in tapor Of concentrating po1oer in the
hands Of the ErecgtiUe." With these views of
Federalism, will it not be little singular, and
somewhat perplexing to the gulls. if Old Tip ap-
point F'ederaListe to his Cabinet? What will be
the inevitable conclusion if he does make appoint
ments of this character? Why, that he is in favor
of concentrating po'Oer in the hands Of The E:rec-
wtipe. Tips friends ask that he may have fair
trial. Try him, then, this point, and let him be
weighed in his own balances. If he appoints Fed
erasts and Abolitionists to his Cabine1-as he most
certainly will-he may cry out in vain-"L am 10
Federalist-I am no Abolitionist I"

A RELIEF.

We believe the public may be relieved from any
apprehension on account of the appointment of Mr..
Sanly to station in Tips ca bnet; the statement
to that effect being mere rumor, originating, prob
ably, with Mr.. S. or his friends. fGen. Harrison
is desirous of showing his gratitude 10 North Car
ona, there a number of men whose talents and
character would certainly not disgrace the State
and the Union-such are CASTOR, D. Cameron, d.
l.. StOain, John Queen, and others. No party in
North Carolina is so destitute of proper materials
as to stoop to such vile necessity as that limited at
above.

resolution through at one heat. What next When
Mr.: Dabney's resolution against the Bank of the
United States was brought up, these same gentle
men protested upon being gagged in their turn
Then the tables were TO be turned for their special
benefit. They wanted time to discuss it-or rather
they desired time TO coneoct a substitute, which
might supersede the Bank resolution-and they
loudly protested against the same previous question
which they had enforced upon their opponents
But the great body of the Democrats refused to
retaliate. They were willing to throw open the
door of discussion. ..

OF the blockade having been taken of Bnenos

the French ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by Ad-
miral Mackan and General Rosas on the part

this treaty it may be perceived the French have
abandoned their allies, under Gen. LavalIe and
President Rivera, TO the tender mercies OF that
blondthirsty monster-Rosas. When the news
of the treaty reached Mnntevideo, the Govern
ment Of that province (under President Fructu-
osa Rivera) Immediately placed an embargo on
all the vessels in that harbor. in order to prohibit
their going up to Buenos Aryes. There were
at the time near three hundred merchant vessels
lying there, about twenty-five nf which were
