whole agricultural ald commercial interests OF
the north, and to every portion of the Union.
He deserts his party without being solemnly
controlled by the Instructions of his constitu-
ents-as is the case with the senator's from
Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
From whatever motives this extraordinary
wrong has been perpetTated upon tho whole
country, aud especially upon his immediate
Observation-Disclosures under the influence of
that erratic Imagination and that feebleness of
judgment which in the most critical emergen-
cies often betrays like treason whether it is
because the overweening vanity ofthe Senator
aspired to the merit of originality, and the con-
temptible honors of authorship, until he be-
came 30 deeply committed in his plumbers that
he could not extriCate himself without Sinking
from his post, and surrendering it into the hands
of the enemy-yet the wrong is done. 1t may
be felt by every man in North Carolina; and
VIM, II. Haywood stands recorded as an apos-
tate and deserter, who never will be able, in
the course of the longest life, to expiate one
hundredth part of the political transgression
which he has this day committed. Let this
bill be lost through his dereliction, and the
deepest odum will fall upon his head. All
confidence in his stability is gone, No man
hereafter will know how to trust him. He had
better Join the ranks Of the federal party at
once, and take the bounty at their hands, if
they are willing to trust man who deserts his
friends in the moment of trial, and sacrifices
his country to his own conceits, eccentricitles,
and indeci,on. But Mr.. FL. had better seek at
once the retirement to which he is doomed. He
is destitute of that clearness of Judgment and
firmness of purpose which are essential ele-
ments in the composition of a statesman.
The SEASON. This is usually dull time of
the year, many persons seeking to recruit health
and strength, or escape the heat Of the city, by
betaking themselves to the springs But the
present season has been unusually dull with
business men, on account of the uncertainty as
to the action of Congress on the tariff bill, sub
treasury, Sc Money has been scarce for the
same reason, capitalists preferring to let their
money remain idle, to investing in what may
prove to be Improbable business. In fact, the
course pursued by Congress has tended greatly
to unsettle business and to restrict operations.
A Auctuating policy will always have this eff
feet. AT the time Congress assembled the
country was Representatives, of all kinds
active-money abundant; and all but restless
politicians, contented and happy-bat won
derful change has been produced. National
expenditures have increased to the extravagant
and unprecedented sum of half million per
day-the public treasury has become insolvent
individual industry is cramped-confdenc
nlpaired-money scarce-and foteboding of
further evil has seized the public mind, These
are some oftho effects of refusing to ''et well
enough alone" When will oar representa-
tives learn wisdom? Never whilst they sub
NIT to the dictation Of interested and rrespon-
sible leaders, who would laugh at the ruin Of
the country, iii put money in their pockets, or
power into their hands. Most deyoutly do the
people pray for the arrival of the day which
will terminate the preseat session of Congress.
