DAVID FULTON. ESQ
My Dear Sir: Your paper of the 9th inst,
has just been placed in my hands by friend.
In looking over the structures which you have
been pleased to indul ge in, touching my pre-
sent position before the public, you have done
me injustice, (unintentional, l have no doubt }
You REPRESENTING as styling the "CentraI
Committee" a "CIique," wishing to dictate
to the State. whereas no such an inference
can be fairly drawn from my letter.
simply attempted in my circular, an ex-
position of all the circumstances under which
| came out, and in doing so, writhing under
the indgnity offered me, used panness Of
speech, such as should not fail Of its effect,
by being so refined, and so laboriously deli
cate as to cover the enormity, which | sought
to expose.
felt then as feel now, that the language
employed, was justified by the usage receiv-
ed, but expressly confined it to a " Clique"
in, and about the City of Raleigh.
| intendedit for those, and those only, wheth-
er in the Committee or ont of The Committee,
who, after fnlI knowledge Of all the fac:s,
advised the step Of which complained.
If the language employed has broader
construction, the excitement under which
wrote, is the apology offered.
If you will again look over my letter, you
will find that it concludes as follows" In
any thing say, do not intend to censure in
the most remote degree, those members Of the
Committee, who reside out Of the City Of Ra-
leigh; they are not in the slightest degree,
responsible for what has taken place; and
from my knowledge of those gentlemen, al
though they may have preferred Mr.. Shepard
TO myself; yet. | cannot but think, had they
been present when the " Raleigh Clique" were
assured of my being in the field, that no oppo-
sing claims would have been set up. In this
l feel partly warranted by the high minded
and honorable course pursued by Judge
Strange, &C., &c, &c.
! To you individually, I am stranger. yet
nevertheless. allow me to say, that as poll
teal brother, have some claims upon your
columns. We all profess to be Democrats
and therefore, all have equal right to be
heard. Yes. equality is Democracy: the re-
verse is Federalism; the very principle which
| have been combating from youth to man
hood, and from manhood until ripper years.
will thank you to give this letter, Git no
the Originally place in your columns.
Respectfully and trnly yours,

~ Of a WARMTH the United States. The gener-t
al policy of making additional warlike preparations
wss distinctly announced, in the speech from the
throne, as late as January last, AMI has since
been reitera ted by the ministers of the crown ln1
both houses Of Parliament. Under this aspect
of our relations with Great BritriD, cannot
doubt the propriety of increasing our means of
defence both by land and sea. This can give
Great Britain no cause of offence, nor increase
the danger of rupture. If, on the contrary. we
should fold our arms in security, and at last be
suddenly involved in hostiIities for the mAinten-
ance of our just rights, without any adequate
preparation, responsibility to the country
would he of the gravest character. Should col.
lision between the two countries be avoided. as
| sincerely trust it may be, the additional charge
upon the treasury, in making the necessary pre-
parations, will not be lost; while, IN the event
of such collision, they would be indispensa-
BILE for the maintenance Of our national rights
and national honor.
| I have seen no reason to change or modify
the recommendations OF my annual message In
regard to the Oregon question. The notice to
abrogate the treaty of the 9th of August, 1897,
is authorized by the treaty ITSELF and connot be
regarded as warlike measure; and | cannot
withhold my strong conviction that it should be
promptly given. The other recommendations, arc
in conformity with the existing treaty, and would
afford to American citizens in Oregon more
than TIC same measure of protection which has
long since been extended to British subjects in
that territory.
The state of our relations with Mexico is
still in an unsettled condition. Since the mee-
ting of Congress another revolution has taken
place in that country, BY which the govern
ment has passed into the hands of new rulers.
This event has procrastinated, and may possibly
defeat, the settlement of the difference between
the United States aud that country. The min
lister of the United States to Mexico, at the date
| of the last advices, had not been received by
the existing authorities. Demonstrations of char
acter hostile to the United States continue 10 be
made in Mexico, which has rendered it proper,
in my judgment, to keep nearly two-thirds of
our army on our southwestern frontier. In do
ing this, many of the regular military posts
have been reduced to small force, indequ"te
to their defence should an emergency arise.
| In view of those circumstances" it is my
Judgment" that Ian increase Of naval and
military force is at this time required" to place
the country in suitable state of defence At
tho same time, it is my settled purpose to pur-
sue such a course of policy as may be best CAL
cuated to preserve. both with Great Britain and
Mexico, honorable peace; which nothing will
so effectualIy promote as unanimty in coun-
ellis, and firm maintenance of all our just rights

! In calling atiention to the communication
over the signature of " CIvIs," We need scarce
ly say, that We do not concur in the senti-

Mr.. Polk is estopped by any thing he has
ever said or done. from NEGOTIATING treaty

Oregon question On the basis of compromise.
But We have so often during the last four
months expressed our self on this subject,
that we feel that it is merely necessary on
the present occasion to allude to our hitherto
recorded opinions. We cheerfnlly give the
communication place in our columns, as il
is from the pen of sterling democrat, and as
it is ably written and couched in language
respectful to those with whom the writer diff
fers in opinion. For that there is difference
Of opinion amongst democrats, as to the pro-

with Great Britain, is we'll known. We are
willing that all should be heard.

gress.-Owing to the crowded state Of
columns this week, we can say but little about
the proceedings of Congress in our present
number. The Senate is still discussing the
3" Notice" question. On Monday last Mr..
Webster addressed the Senate in a short
speech, IN which he expressed the opinion,
that cur government ought to settle the ques-
ton by accepting, should an opportunity of
fer, the proposition of 1926. This proposition
was that Great Britain should have all above
40, and also the free navigation Of the Colum-
hia river. On Tuesday, General Cass ad-
dressed the Senate on the same Question:
We have not yet ssen his speech. The Tex
ian senators, Generals Rusk and Houston,
have taken their seats.
In the House the Sub-Treasury Bill is un-
der discussion. Little Of general importance
has been done during the past week.

To tie Editor ef tie burma:

desire, with your permission to give your
readers some information respecting the new
Mutual Insurance Company which has lately
gone into operation in this State,-and which.
as it embraces the whole State in its spin ere,
may supply want which has long been felt
by the citizens Ct your town.
This Company was chartered by an act of
the Legislature in lS43-dnd organized in
1.-THE month Of January last; since which time
it has been steadily progressing in gaining
the confidence and support Of the community,
and it now offers ample Indemnity TO all It's
members who may suffer by the calamity of
fre-for, all who insure in the Company be-
come members Of it, and are entitled 10 cast
as many votes for officers as they are insured
hund reds Of dollars--that is, one vote for ev-
cry 500 insured.
There are many reasons why we shoald he
favorably disposed towards such Company,
and why We should insure in it. The first is
the small amount<ef money demanded. In
the second place, we can keep our money at
home in our own State, and not pay it out to
enrich foreign Insurance Companies. Stock.
Companies go into the business for the pur-
pose of making money,-and from their re-
ports do divide large sums on the capital in
vested by the Stockholders. Whereas this
Company is formed for the purpose of saving
the property, if amy, 10 ourselves. Were the
business of the Northern Insurance Compa-
uies confined strictly to the large cities. where
fires are of frequent occurrence, and where the
destructive element sometimes lays the half
Of them in ashes, they would declare no divi.
bands. 1t is from the patronage they receive
in the State Of North Carolina and elsewhere,
where fires are less frequent, that they are en-
abled to make their premiums and declare
their dividends. ..-.
But in the North Carolina Mutual Insu-
rance Company the whole benefit accrues to
the members. We pay but small sum at
the time We get insured, aud obigate our
selves in case of loss, to make good the loss
TO those insured from the amounts paid IN at
the time we insure; and, if that is insufficient,
We resort to tax on the bonds for the bal
ance ;--and we find, by looking over the re-
ports OF Mutual Companies, that those taxes
are very smaIl-hardly amounting 10 one.sixth
of the amount demanded Cor insurance in a
Stock Company.
Bnt lastly-such Companies are stable and
secure. We have never heard of the failure
of a Mutual Company-and the least acquain-
lance with their plan will convince every per.
son that they cannot fail. A very strong fact
in evidence of the safety of such Companies
as this: At the great FIRE in Piusburg. las,
year, the Mutual Insurance Company of tia,
town paid all its losses,& had hand some capital
left to continue business; We have been in.
formed, the Stock Companies of that place all
failed to redeem their obligations Of Insurance
wish merely to hint at the subject now
hoping for some more favorable opportunit,
to bring this matter to the notice Of the citi
zens of Wilmington and am, most respect

The MURDER or Mas. BIcKToRB. Con-
tessiOn Of ItrreH. The Boston Star says that
Tirrell has confessed that he murdered Mrs.
Bckford. The confession is said to have been
made under the following circumstances;
"When officers Whipple and Joseph w.
Andrews went to Weymouth in search of Tir-
rell, on tho day after the murder, they saw and
conVersed with his wife. Officer Whipple
spoke to her, and first telling her that she
could answer the question he was about to put
or not, and that it would be testimony which
could not be used against her husband, he then
asked her if her husband told her anything
with regard to the crime with which he was
charged. She replied that he did, and that he
confessed that he murdered Mrs. Bicklord! -
Upon being asked how he appeared, she re-
piled that she could not describe his looks
they were unlike anything she ever saw in
man; and that sho could not describe her own
emotions when he admitted the dreadful truth
This is substantially the statement Of facts
audit is due to the public that they should
know them.
Another singular fact, we understand, con-
nected with the case is, that one of the Coro.
ner's jury stated to officer Gustavus Andrews
that whoever did the murder cut his hand and
advised him to examine Tirrell's hand, when
he found him in N. Orleans-and when officers
| Whpple aud Andrews were seeking hlm in
/ Weymouth, man informed them that he had
seen Tirrell, coming from his fathers house,
and he had rag bound round one or more o.
| his fingers. Such is the story of the two Off
GERS themselves. We are further informed,
that the jury who acquitted him, are of the
opinion, all of them, that Tirrell committed
the murder but did not consider the testimony
such as to warrant verdict of guilty, under
the law and their oaths

SINGULAR MARRIAGE. A widower at Cam
dem, who was not very young, became smit-
ten with young and beautiful girl, aud mar
ried her. A short time after, the son of the
man by former wife, became also in love, not
with younger person, but with the mother of
the fathers new wife, Il widow lady still in the
bloom of life. He offered himself and soon the
young man and the widow were united in the
bonds ofmatrimony, SO that in consequence Of
these two connections, father became the
son-in-aw of his own son, and the wife not on
ly the daughter-n-law of her own son-in-aw,
but still more, the mother-in-law of her own
daughter; while the husband of the latter is ia
ther-in-law Of his own mother-n-law, and fa-
ther-in-law TO his own father. Confusion may
arise, if children should spring from these pc
culiar marriages.
