THE PRESIDENT.

The President bf the United States was wel comed to the seat of Government on the 16th inst. by a procession, consisting chiefly of the working men of Washington and Georgetown. The Presi- dent was received at the Capitol, where he arrived at 11 o'clock, and escorted to the Capitol Square, where he was addressed by Dr. N. P.

Causin, who had been selected for that purpose by the Commit- tee of Arrangements appointed by a meeting of the citizens. After the President had replied, he was escorted to his residence, where be was addressed by James Lawson, esq. on behalf of his Democra tic Fellow-Citizens of the District, in the following words I have the honor and the pleasure, sir, to address you for, and on behalt of, your Uemocratic ieuow- citizens, who have united together on the present accasion as a branch ot that parly, ana inai par- tv only, which has elevated you to your present ex- iAsr remap, 911. uiuc-vcums ui I of the working classes of the community. Among them are to be found the ingenious artisan, the indttstri- ous and skilful mechanic.

The remainder are gen- tlemen of various professions, who have deemed it far more honorable than degrading to associate rour coun rV and oZyh ephatS ly styled its safeguard in peace, its tower ot strength I i vr ai oi nW I I The Newspaper credit-system ceased in Mtss.s- the first of the present month, by agree- a vears advance is forwarded. Th.s is a LTpv sate of affairs for our brethren in that quar- ter, wt rhichshouta usws' attempt was made to introduce some regulation this point, into our Printer's Conven- tion but it failed. We intend to adopt a plan, which self-preservation dictates, and go ahead whether our brethren join with us or not. We shall, at least, approach degrees to a rule that no mme shall be continued on the list when more than one year's subscription is due. Such a condition will, we are confident, be more pleasant to the subscribers, in the end, as well as to us.

THE RESULT THE SAME. Sylvester's Reporter," a paper chiefly devoted to mercantile and monetary matters, and an advo-nte of the Whig" cause also, says, in relation to the U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania" It is now aver-rpd and the amount of capital which seems to have been absorbed gives credence to the assertion that the heavy sales of Post Notes have been made on account of the Bank itself; the specula lions of the United States Bank on Cotton and Produce and its consequent losses, necessarily caused it to seek some mode of staving off-its lia bilities to effect this a loan for two millions and a half was endeavored to be negotiated in Holland and failed. Its necessities were pressing and be fore the failure of the negotiation could be learned it entered the Foreign Exchange Market, and we find at length a sudden stoppage for no assignable reason and, following on its heels, notices to bor rowers to pay in instalments in a short period a flood of Post Notes is issued to assist these borrow ers, as is stated, and the result is, the Post Notes are protested and the Bank suspends after en tanglinsr in its downfall those of the Philadelphia Banks and causing no dobut a general suspension of most of the Southern Institutions.

Such has been the movements of late of the Bank of the United States, developing a system of monopoliz ing remarkable for its magnitude, the results of al monopolies will be and are almost uniformly the same. Well, this is what the Democratic Republican have said all along. To be sure the results of all monopolies will be and are unijormly the It is for this reason we oppose a National Bank and we may surely ask. without giving of fence, why the Federal whisrs advocate a National Bank, when the results "must be always the same And we would ask if sound Institutions require a Regulator If so, why is it that Rpporter, declares over the head of its paper, that The rate of all funds cannot be relied on the los of confidence in all institutions except this State (VewYork) a Boston, precluding quotations." New York and Boston refuse to be regulated" into a Suspension. And why is this? For the sole reason that the United States Bank of Pennsylvania has not the power to compel them to suspend.

If by any contrivance whatever that swindling monopoly can coerce the specie paying Banks to suspend, it will do so and if it had the Peoples' Money at its disposal, as the Federal Whigs desire, it might possibly possess that power. OHIO. The route of Federal Whiggery in Ohio is very complete. In the Legislature the Democratic Republicans have 25 Senators and the Feds 11. In the House of Representatives we have 49 and the Federalists 23.

The Ohio Statesman says of this defeat of the Federalists: "There is scarcely a parallel to it in the annals of political warfare. The flight from Texas, of the Generalissimo of the Ohio Whiggery, was not more sudden or certain than the flight of the whig party from Ohio. Even in the few counties, where successful, it is by te- duced majorities, and by the most intense exertions. The popularity of Mr. Van Buren in Ohio, is, we verily believe, more extensive, sincere, and perma nent than in any State of the Union.

And surely no one has ever more richly merited it." NEW JERSEY. The recent election for members of the Legisla ture in New Jersey, has resulted in the choice of 10 Federalists and 7 Democratic Republicans in the Council, and 33 Federalists to 20 Democrats in the House. The Federal majority will be 16 on joint ballot, which will secure to that party the appoint ment of Governor, together with those county offi cers whose jterms of service expire this fall. At the election of 1838, five Democratic candi dates were elected to Congress by an average ma jority of 100 votes. The Federal Governor and Council took upon themselves the responsibility of throwing out two townships, which entirely rever sed the will of the people.

This scandalous con duct on the part of the Governor and Council has been signally rebuked by the popular vote at the recent election. The Democratic gain since last year is 1392, and gives our friends a majority in the State of 1466. It will surprise our readers that the Federalists should have a majority in the Legislature while so large a majority of the people are Democratic Re publicans. This matter is illustrated by an article in the Globe, from which we make an extract: With a clear and undisputed majority of fourteen hundred votes against them in all the counties, the Whigs" have so dishonestly and partially distri Duted tne right ot representation among the coun ties, as to give their counties, with a minority of voters, the power of sending a majority of mem bers of the Council and members of Assembly. To accomplish this odious disfranchisement of the De mocratic counties, and confer on the most decided Federal ones the rights of which the former were stripped, the Whigs" gerrymandered the Slate diminishing the representative ratio in their etrong counties, and increasing it in the strong Democratic counties.

In Hunterdon county, one of the strongest Democratic counties, the ratio is one representative for every 7,500 inhabitants. In Middlesex (a decided Federal county) the ratio is one representative for every 4,500 inhabitants In Somerset (another Federal county) it is one repre sentative for every 4,600, and in Burlington (anoth er federal county) it is one representative for eye ft IfinAlnk.klt..!. TT. .1 .1 -j vvuniuauiwuis. uuuer mis ratio in tnese iurcc counties, the Federal party have returned twelve members, when if they had prescribed the same ratio as they have foi Democratic Hunterdon, they would have gotten only seven members.

By this as ruie ged of the to to to unite with our Democratic fellow-citizens in oth parts of the State in the support of the nomi nee of the Raleigh Convention. 4. Resolved, That we have undiminished con fidence in the patriotism; abilities, and sound Republican principles of the Chief Magistrate of the United States, in defiance of the obloquy and denunciation, which have been poured out upon him by the Opposition press; that a re-election due to the distinguished ability and fidelity with which he has discharged the various and unusually difficult duties of his hi station, during a critical and deeply interesting period of our country's history, and that we will cordially support him 'or the Presidency against Clay, Harrison, Scott, or any other person whatever whom may be nominated for that office. 5. Resolved, That in H.

Clay, of Kentucky, the political favorite of most of the leading Whigs in the South, we recognise the father of the Amer ican System, the supporter of a Fifty Million U. States Bank, and the ardent anduniform advocate of those broad and latitudinous views as to the Federal Constitution and the powers of Congress, which are dangerous to the rights of the States, the liberties of the people, and the permanency of our institutions, and which have always been strongly condemned by those politicians who have been most attached to the pure and sound principles of the State Rights and Republican school. Resolved, farther. Thai we would deplore Vis elevation tothg yhief.Magistrai'y, as an event calamitous to the coiirrtry generally, and- particularly so to the Southern Siates. 6.

Resolved, i hat these proceedings be sign ed by the Chairman and Secretaries, and pub- lshed in the Warrenton Reporter and The North Carolina Standard, and that the rest of the Republican papers in North Carolina be requested to give them an insertion in their columns. The Chairman, under the 2nd Resolution, ap-1 pointed Geo. D. Bakerville, VVillnm K. Kear ney, William C.

Our Superior Court commenced its fall Term on Monday the 14th inst. Judge Saunders presiding. Thomas H. Christmas who was indicted at the last Term for the murder of Richard Davis, was tried and convicted during the present Term. The evidence against him was positive, and was clear and so strong in its character, as to preclude all hope his ac-qnital at the hands of an upright andj impartial jury.

The prisoner relied, almost entirely, upon the plea of insanity but failed in his attempt to establish it by proof. We believe that no man of the immense crowd who attended his trial, considered him deranged at the time when he committed the bloody deed. He may have been partially deprived of his reason, but if so, even thit was the result of the ardent spirits which he had drank in the course of the day. According to the testimony of the witnesses for the State, the prisoner and the decensed accidental! met in the counting Toom of Mabry's Store in Warren county, on the 16th of January last it being a cold and inclement day. The deceased addressed the usunl salutation to the prisoner, which the prisoner returned, but he instantly commenced cursing and abusing the deceased, against whom he was proved to have made threats, and to have indulged feelings of animosity and hatred for some lime before, and in a short time drew a pistol from his pbeket and shot Mr.

Divis in the breast while he was warm in? his hands bv the fire. Davis exclaimed I am a dead man, and rose and walked ou'. of the store about ten steps, when he fell upon the snow and died in the course of a few moments. When the prisoner was told thai Davis was dead, he exclaimed that he was a damned hound who ought to have been dead 20 years ago. Davis offered no violence whatever to the prisoner, nor did he say any thing more than simply to dehy the truth of the charges which Christmas made against him he was a peaceable, orderly and respectable man, whose fate is deeply regretted in the community in which he lived.

ICf Christmas, has appealed to the Superior Court. ItlAltStlEO, In Halifax, on the 1st Col. Andrew Joyner to Mrs. Surah Burton. In Yancey county, on the 1st Mr.

He called the attention of the meeting to the extensive preparations that are made by our antagonist political party, the constant state of discipline maintained amongst them, tneir reckless disre gard of the injury sustained by the country from their panic and pressure mode of warfare, and concluded with an impressive and stirring appeal to the friends of equal rights upon the importance of union and unanimity in our ranks at the next elections as the surest means of defeating the ma chinations of these sappers and miners of popu lar rights.
