he could not extriCate himself without Sinking
from his post, and surrenderng 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 transgresson
which he has this day committed. Let this
bill be lost through his dcreliction, and the
deepest odium will fall upon his head. All
confidence in his stability is gone. No man
hereafter will know how to trust him. He had
better 10 in 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 concets, eccentricitles,
and indeci-ion. But Mr.. Ii. 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 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
!
to the action of Congress on the tariff bill, sub
treasury, SC. Money has been scarce for the
same reason, capitalists preferring 10 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 unsette business and to restrict operations.
A fiuctuating policy will always have this eff
feet. At the time Congress assembled the
country was prosporous--bu business of all kinds
actiye-money abundant; and all but restless
politicians, contented and happy-but 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-conidenc
mpaired-money scarce-and foreboding of
further evil has seized the public mind, These
are some ofthe effects of refusing to "let well
enough Alone When will or representa-
tives learn wisdom? Never whilst they sub
NIT to the dictation Of interested and irrespon-
sible leaders, who would laugh at the ruin Of
the country, if it 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 present session of Congress.
