Constitution Of his country mourn over the staos


il is here receiving from those entrusted by con-
fding people with its preservation


This BILL as. s.reported from the committee OF


Ways and Means, contained a clause apprcprlatlng
trif1ing amount for some improvement connected
with the Cape-Fear river. But as the North Car
olina delegation, 10 man,-that is wings and de-
mocrats-haVe steadily opposed the project in all
its. stages, they were TO be punished by the sup
porters of the bill and therefore many of the lat
voted against this; and it was of course killed.
The appropriation itself was matter of no inn
portance, and l am glad it was voted down but
only because the manner in. which the thing was
done is so strong proof OF the combination moi only
TO take money from the treasury for unconstituton-
al purposes but to deprive the constituents of any
member who may have independence enough to
show up the injustice of the affair." of all possible
participation in the benefit of the expenditure of
public money. Where friend is made for this
system of public plunder, by such course, ten
fearless who regard the constitution of the
country as more than waste paper, will rise up to
expose it to the world. The right will eventually
give them the might. Truth and justice and the
constitution have never been long prostrated in
this country aud they will soon again assert their
empire in the House of Representatives, or very
much over-estimate the integrity Of the American
people.


On Monday evening last, when not more than
twenty-five members were present in the House,
discovered that every member of the delegation
from North Carolina made, each, one of the twenty
two! This is,a practical proof indeed, of the bu-
siness habits of all the members from the "good
Did North State" HALIFAX.


Postscript. The House have passed the Harbor
Dill by majority of nineteen. The steamer is
in, and the Union . having expressed the news
Twelve hours in advance of the mall has issued an
extra. The advices so far as they have been re-
ceiVed cannot be said to embrace any thing of
importance. H.
