From the Weldon Patriot

Mr.. EDITOR AS matter of interest to the peo
pie of our State, ask the favor of you to publish
the following extract, which taken from a sheet
containing the Wilmington prices current kindly
furnished me by Messrs. J. & D. McRae s. Co.
Could we but turn trade more to our own towns
we should, perhaps hear less complaint about small
notes and feel less effect from the arbitrary discount
which we have 10 pay our nelghbors. | use the term
arbitrary from the following circumstances: | re-
Gently made payments in each Of mel hborng CT
ties OF Virginia. Norfolk and Petersburg; in the for
mer | was charged yer cent upon South Carolina
money and per cent upon N. Gin the latter one
per cent on n. c., and s. G.. notes. From which
have concluded we have to pay discount according
to the views and feelings of the parties with whom
we are dealing.
recently saw in one of the Virginia papers a no.
ice from the Editor to the patrons of his paper, re-
mindng them that small notes were uncurrent, re-
questing and directing them how to remit gold dol.

Very wise men sometimes say things that seem
very silly to NORTH CAROLlNIAN.
CoFFEE.-The supply is limited, being barely suf-
fcient for retail demand. We quote Rio at ~ 3
cents. 1--WE would call attention of dealers to an i'm
portaiOn of 5000 bags, expected to arrive
direct from Rio per Brig Mary McRae, about the isl
of July, which, understand, will be sold on as ia.

markets. This being intended as the beginning of a
new trade, calculated TO Oeneht our merchants gene

THE WING PRoGRAMME.-The Atlas of Yesterday
in an elaborate editorial defines or chalks out what
it conceives should be the policy of Northern Wings
The present crisis Their future action it is said
should embrace these objects
/. The repeal of the Nebraska bill
2. The political death of every Northern represen.
tative who voted for the bill
| 8. No Wing to surrender his principles-though
at the time, it may be his duty to vote for The
candidate of another party who is true on the ques
ton of freedom.
| 4 No coalition with any other party, but co.ope
ration or concert of action "on one great question
without fusion of parties
This is the of action recommended and it i:
substantially that so earnestly urged by Cassius M
Clay in his recent letter. If carried out it will give
| the Wings lease of power in the State for some
years to come. If followed in other Northern States
it may possibly be the of eventually returning
an antiNebraska maj ority to the popular branch oil
Congress- But the repeal Of the Nebraska bill vii
require much moro than that amount of success tt
accomplish it There is butts very slight probabili
ty that such repeal can be carIied--the chances
as we view the matter, being the other way Tha
is, they favor the hypothesis or belief that one o.
both of the Territories will be States of the Unor
before such change in every department can be Sc
cured, as will restore the Missouri restrction-and
if in the Union. they will take care of themselves
without Congressional interference. Chroni
