Mr.. EDITOR: As from the remarks
made in your last, farther notice Of the
late movement Of the Loco Foco party in
this county may be looked for, | shall
proceed to touch as briefly as possible
upon one or two of the positions which
for party purposes they have assumed,
and 10 expose that spirit Of hnmbuggery
which one would naturally enough sup
pose that they would now be willing 10
exchange for more honorable policy;
but OF which il would seem that no les
son, however severe, is able entirely TO
diyest them.
In the commencement oftheir late flour.
ishing preamble at George Mebane's, il
is stated that, "when the representative
is GAGGED, it more than ever becomes the
people to speak" Thus leaving it 10 be
presumed, or rather indirectly charging,
that every Loco Foco member in the
House Of Representatives, and more par
ticularly the gentleman who had the ho-
NOR 10 represent the Loco Focory Of Or
ange, was absolutely gagged, had Bit Of
stick stuck into his mouth, 50 securely
fastened, as utterly to prevent the wag-
ging Of his tongue. This would be the
natnfal inference Of one who drew his con-
clusion from the language used; but what
are The facts of the ease! Let us see how
these martyrs on the altar Of Reform were
prevented from enlghtening the human
race by an expression Of their opinions.
II seems that after great deal Of pro-
fiiless debate at the commencement Of the
Extra Session, when many members APP
peared to be taxing their wits for the pur-
pose of consuming time, that it was final
" concluded, upon motion Of a member
from Georgia, that rule be adopted, by
which no member should be allowed to
speak more than one hour upon any given
subject. thus putting STOP to those long,
windcd anil useless harangues, which
lasting for hours and sometimes days, en-
al,le,I one man 10 consume, not only the
time and patience Of the house, but the
money Of the country, for no other yalu-
able purpose than that Of RANKING to his
friends at home a supply Of waste paper
in he form Of a speech. This rule, the

Of petitions; and The remainder Of the sit

ierday. calling on The house 10 remove
him from the position he occupied as
chairman Of the committee on foreign re-
laiions. Mr.. Adams desired 10 be heard

praying that Congress will Immediately

union can be agreeable or permanent

proportion Of The resources Of one section
Of the union is annually drained 10 sus-
tain The views and course OF another sec

third, because Judging from the history
Of past naiions) that union, il persisted in,

tainly involve the whole nation in utter
destruction. Mr.. Adams moved that the
petition be referred TO select committee,
with instructions TO report an answer q
the petitioners, showing the reasons why
the prayer Of it ought not 10 be granted,
This petition created great excitement
and occupied The attention Of the House,
principally, during the siitings on Tues

The news brought by the late arrival
from Liverpool of the appointment Of
Lord Ashburton on Special Mission 10
the United States, said in The papers TO be
with view to the discussion and settle
ment here of.the yexed questions con-
corning the Northeastern Boundary and
The right Of search, is full Of Interest,"
Lord Ashburton comes, we presume
from what we understand Of the diplomat
ic usage ofthe British Government, either
TO supersede the present Minister. Mr..
Fox, in his Mission--which is not at all
probable--or as an adjunct to Mr.. Fox,
with view to the special objects above
referred to. II is not at all likely that
Lord Ashburton will be the bearer Of any
commission independent Of the Resident
British Minister Plenipotentiary- As TO
the intimation, which we see is thrown
out, that his visit to the United States has
any diplomatic relation 10 the subject Of
the State Debts held in Great Britain,
such an idea is precluded by the considera-
ton, ellanders,ood BY British Ministers
and Statesmen, that the United States can
exercise no authority, nor of course enter
tain any negotiation, having reference to
that matter.
The fact of the Government Of Great
Britain sending, under existing circum-
stances, Special Minister to this coun-
try, is one of the strongest evidences
which the British Government could give
OF its respectful consideration, and Of the
sincerity Of its professions of desire to
cultivate amicable relations with the Uni
ted States.
Lord Ashburton is, we understand,
about sixy-fve years of age, with much
talent for business, and plain and agree
able manners. The selection Of man
of his character for this trust is an addi-
tional proof Of the earnestness Of the pur-
pose Of the British Government in send
ing him here. Nat. Intel.
