Gen. CaSS In England.

The London correspondent of the Boston Post wri-
ting under date of Feb IL, says Gen Cass is likely
to be as we'll known in England as Mr.. Golden
The English papers are full of the speeches of the
one and the letters ofthe other and both, though
for different reasons to be alike Objectionable
to the self-esteem of the British nation. He says
Mr.. Cass re-affrms the Monroe doctrine-al-
ways unpalatable herewith boldness that pro-
vOkes opposition and arguments that will not be an
swered. The Times, the Post, the News and the
Chronicle publish his speeches not to reply to- but
to carp at them, and the very sneers themselves
show the weakness of those who indulge in them
The Times is very sore on this subject of American
sefreliance After all the grave lectures of advice
to the people of the United States that able leading
articles for more than twelvemonth have contain
ed,-after defending the peculiar institutions of
the South against the misrepresentation of rabid en-
thusiasts-atter siding with the Marblehead fisher
men on the bay OF Fundy question, approving Mr..
Webster for his declna of the trpartite conven-
t On commencing Mr. Everetts certain degree of
eloquence letter, and mingling in the general
joy at the election of the Presdent,-after all
this, the Times thinks it very hard that Gen Cass
should be allowed to fool the people to the top of
their bent upon a subject involving the very safe
ty of the British West Indies, and to discuss ques-
tlons seriously dangerous TO the peace of the world
"Wlthout daring to controvert it, and without ex-
pectation of changing it, the English government
does not relish the Monroe doctrine. 1t smacks too
strongly Of self-ndependence. 1t argues too great
selt,reliance. 1t looks too much like the promise
made to Abraham, over the achOle land and seems
to realize something in the future which may deprive
the British lion of portion of his inheritance''
DR.: J. c. Warren, of Boston, says that tobacco
used in the way of mastication, is a slow poison

smoking as we'll as chewing, this powerful yege
table poison" he adds These statements are no,
Exaggerated but the result of many years expert.

Spring Is coming-Spring is comingi
With her sunshine and her shower;
Heaven is ringing with the singing
OF the birds in brake and bower;
Buds are filing, leaves are swelling,
Flowers on field and bloom on tree;
Ger the earth. and ear. and ocean,
Nature holds her jubilee.
Soft then stealing comes feeling
O'er my bosom tenderly;
Sweetly ponder, as | wander,
For my musings are of thee.
Spring is coming-Spring is coming
With her mornings fresh and light;
With her moons of chequered glory,
Sky of blue and clouds of white.
Calm grey nightfalls, when the light falls
From the star-bespangied sky,
While the splendOr, pale and tender,
Of the young moon CLEANS on high.
Still at morn, at noon, at even,
Spring is full of joy for me,
For ponder as | wonder,
And my musings are of thee.
Still on thee my thoughts are dwelling,
Whatso'er thy name may be;
Beautiful, beyond words telling,
Is thy presence unto me.
Mornings breaking finds the waking
Wandering in the breeze's flight;
Noontde's glory mantles DER thee
In shower of sunny light:
Daylight dying leaves thee lying
In the silvery twilight ray
Stars look brightly on thee nightly
Till the coming Of the day.
Everywhere and every minute
Feel near thee. lovely one;
In the lark and in the linnet
| can hear thy joyous tone.
Bud and blooming mark the coming
OF thy feet Ger vale and hill );
And thy presence, with life's essence,
Makes the forests heart to fill.
Low before thee, adore thee,
Love creative, thee | sing:
Now l meet thee, and greet thee
BY the holy name of SPRING

Messrs Editors :-Somethng new in my line to

cheerfully, with the hope that you Will let mo lave
short space in your columns, and that my first effort
may prove Of some benefit to the public
The merchants of our growing City ought to have
q Board of Trade-tEey require something foI their
protection--they diffdent about consulting to-
gether, each mistrustng the others intenons-they
trust greater extent to foreign merchants than
they would to our own-they lend their and their
friends credit to those who would not grant them
the hundredth part OF the same credit. Why do
they stand so much in their light ? Why do
they run the risk of running themselves and their
friends for those who are strangers? In the name
of God ask does the q per cent. pay them for it
How many have ever retired from Commission
business after laboring for years, with sufciency
to live upon Let the merchants look at the disas-
trous consequences of the late failure and ask them
selves How soon will such misfortune befaIl some
of my correspondents and how much will the whole
of mine and my friends property fall short in max
ing up the deficiency
Let them ponder over this short communication,
and endeavor in way to obviate the difficulties
attending the present mode of transacting bu-
siness Other cities that do larger business than
ours manage differently and in better way for the
protection of their citizens | could suggest an al
iteration from the present precarious attend
ing our present method, but leave it to the mer
chants themselves to have general meeting, and
adopt, by universal consent, the proper remedy for
the existing ueleterlOuS consequences tnaC Iney
know not how soon will swamp them. Our city has
paid dearly for its Commercial business, and if the
merchants will not protect themselves, who will
assist COMMERCE!
The matter above alluded to by our correspon
dent is one to which we called the attention of oul
business people some time since, and one which We
are happy to see that they at length taking in
hand themselves. 1t is we'll worthy of their atten
tion, and will not, we hope, be longer neglected. in
deed, we are happy to learn that meeting of the
merchants of this place will be held tomorrow af
ternoon at 2! o'clock, at the Commissioners Office
for the purpose of organizing Chamber of Com

views and opinions with them upon the subject OF a
Rail Road connection between the two towns, and
thereby also between Wilmington and the Coal
Mines. On account of the postponement of the
Stockholders meeting for the reasons assigned IN
the Observer, namely: the absence OF the prnc'Pal
Stakeholder, little was directly ascertained; but
from mixing with the people of Fayetteville our
friends feel convinced that a sentiment OF kindness
and cordiality exists towards this place, proved as
much by the tone OF private conversation, as by the
expression of public opinion, at town meeting

all who take time to reflect seriously and calmly up
on the matter Isl that the interests OF the two cape

strength to this impression has been, with us, a
pleasing duty and the press of both places cannot
be engaged in a more meritorious work.
Our friends are also much gratifed by the result
Of their visit, personally. They received pleasure
from noticing the signs of marked improvement and
growth which Fayetteville exhibits, and also from
the kind and courteous attentions rendered to them
by its worthy citizens We hope that their visit;
and the interchange of views and opinions to which
it gave rise, may have the effect of still farther IN
