Therefore am not to be deferred from acting in the
discharge of what deem to be my duty, by any o.
his tyranncal dictation, OF anyo his uWusiihao pie
attacks He has shown that .egregious folly, IN
blushing impudence, and unbridled presumption are
his main characteristics; and that ne is
"More peevsh, cross, and splenetc,
Than dog distract or monkey SICK.
He ought to remember that " wise men are instruc-
ted by reason men of less understanding by expe-
rience the most ignorant by necessity, and beasts
by nature" But unfortunately he has not been IN
structed by any of these teachers and he is an APP
propriate illustration Of the description given in
Don Juan:
"Man's a strange animal, and makes strange uss
of his nature and the various arts,
And likes particularly to produce >,
Some new experiments to show his paris.
He has merely displayed his vanity and presump.
ton, and he has contributed to his own shame and
degradation. His case and character arc described
by one who was well acquainted with all the failings
well as the virtues of his brethren. DR. Franklin
spoke thus of such men as the Senator from Hert-
ford
"Thc retail Politician anxious thought.
Deems this side always right, and that stark naught,
He f,ams with censurc with applause he raves
dupe TO rumor and a tool of knaves
He'll want type his weakness to proclaim,
While such a thing as nolscap has name
Sir the contemplate malice of the domineerins
Senator from HEREFORD would not alarm me, though
his name were legion With truth and justice on
my SIDE l fear not his poisoned arrows.
He is Il freeman whom the truth makes free
And all are slaves beside
What has aroused the envious feelings and the ma
lgnant spirit of that intoerant and Jesultlca oena
tor? What has so greatly excited his en'nity ana
wrath What have done to incur his displcasure
or to merit his rebuke? | have merely called for
the yeas and nays upon the passage of an impor-
tant bill, which is to involve the State in debt of
millions of dollars This is the "head and front OF
my offending and if the Senator has his apparatus
ready I am prepared to undergo any form Of exccn-
ton which his humanity will allow him to lntct, or
which even his justice may award.

THE SWORD OF JACKSON.

Z On Monday last the sword of Gen. jackson. worn
by him in all his military expeditions, and which
was his faithful companion in the last and browning
victory at New Orleans, was formally presented to
the Senate by the venerable Lewis Cass who ac-
companied the presentation with one of the most
touching and eloquent addresses he has ever deliv
cred. This sword first presented by Gen.
Jackson to Gen. Armstrong; and the latter being
dead, it has been rendered to Congress by his family
Mr.. Bell, of Tenn. followed Gen. Cass in a speech
highly euogistc of Gen. Jackson and in conclusi on
submitted resolution expressive of the thanks of
Congress to the heirs of Gen. Armstrong for the Gift
and directing its preservation in the State Depart
ment. The addresses of Gen. Cass and Mr. Bell
were ordered to be spread upon the Journal of the
Senate and the Secretary of the Senate was direct
cd to carry the sword to the House of Representa-
tves and request that body concur in the resolu
ton just passed Messrs. Smth and ZoIlicofer. Of
Tenn. and Mr.. Benton, of Missouri addressed the
House on the presentation OF the sword to that
body; and the Senate's resolution was then adopt
ed and one hundred thousand copies of the speeches
in the two Houses on the occasion were ordered to
be printed.

~ The Fayetteville Argus and the Wilmington
Herald are complaining that the North Carolina Rail
road is not central and that its operations thus far
nave tended more to the benefit of Virginia than oil
North Carolina. Too late for complaints, gentlemen;
the Road has been located, and will be flushed, aid
the true policy is to render it as valuable own
people and as profitable as possible.
by the way, we trust the business men and mer-
chants of Wilmington will pardon the suggestion
that he people along the line of the North Carolina
Railroad, above Raleigh, are not as vel! acquainted
with them as they are with those of Petersburg ana
Norfolk. We simply refer to the fact leaving them
to act npon it-with the additional remark that We
should be pleased to the Wilmington papers more
extensively patronized west of this than they have
heretofore been. 1t should also be borne in minu
that Wilmington is nearer Orange than Portsmouth
and that the freight barrel of flour from Orange
to Wilmington, is twenty-nne cents less than ID
from the same point to Portsmouth.
az The attention of workmen and contractors
is invited to the advertisement in to-days paper
proposals for work to be done on the Executive
Mansion, in this City.
