SATURDAY, JUNE Is, 1850.

We have received from an aged subscriber in
North Carolina the annexed Letter. It was not
written for the public eye; but the spirit which
prompted it, and the patriotic sentiment which it
breathes will apologize, trust, for the liberty we
take in placing it in our columns. Who, indeed,
read the noble sentiment of this patriarch with
out feeling the glow Of fraternity and patriotism
kindled more brightly in his own bosom! Truly
it is sample of that genuine spirit of patriotism
of the olden time, which the Editors of this paper
were taught to revere whilst WASHINGTON him
self yet stood at the helm of State, surrounded
by his great compeers; reverence inspired during
his life, and deepened by every year added to the
memory Of his services and his virtues.
The last paragraph of the Letter, though most
grateful to us from so respectable SOURCES are
those others of like character which we have
lately received-we should have omitted, would it
not have been mere affectation to desire to be
thought Indifferent to such compensation for ser
vices which nothing but consciousness of right
and paramount sense Of duty could have sustained
us in. We therefore give the letter entire
