HOI DIAllltlED, At Hammerby, Lenoir county, on the 29th Not an accident has happened on or near the bar to my knowledge, of any vessel bound out or in there can be carried with safety, from 12 to 14 feet u.umi aim oe riiois, anu navigation including the swash, bulkhead, has not been better or safer at any time during their remembrance: i nave understood it is mrhcult to get insurance effected on vessels trading through this inlet, in consequence, it ia said, of the many losses This is owing to the want of correct information in underwriters and others. I will venture to Bay, there has been fewer losses, at and near this inlet in the last year, than any other on the southern coast, according to the number of vessel, passing. uU uui reuuuoui more man one or iwo loiai losses during ihe last year, and those not, valuable. The great defect is, the owners of vessels trading thro' Ocracoke do not pay that attention, generally, wmcn is required, in navmg their vessels well lound in anchors and cables. During our severe gales last fall, not a solitary instance of accident happen- ed when the vessel well provided with proper ground tackling, as it la termed.

One or two ves sels and lighters, it is true, parted their cables or mo of Janu to Jtev. it. Lacy, Kiieigh. Rev. F.

The meeting was organized by calling W. Wadsworth, to the chair, and appointing EI. Bkinson Secretary. The Chairman stated the purpose of the meet ing to be as aforesaid, and made a few appropriate remarks on the importance of guarding and exer cising the elective franchise with all necessary care and zeal.

The following resolution was offered by John Green, and was adopted by the mooting with but one dissenting voice Resolved, That we have witnessed with surprise the political course of our present Representative in the Congress of the United States, and that we feel it to be our duty to condemn it as vacillating and untrustworthy. Wm. B. Perkiks, presented the following which was adopted unanimously i Resolved, That in this state of our affairs all per sonal and sectional jealousies or preferences ought to be sacrificed to considerations of the public wel fare, and that the man moat capable, honest, and faithful to the constitution, should be chosen to represent us. Tho following resolution was offered by M.

Manly, and adopted unanimously Resolved, That we concur in suggestions from other parts of the District, for the people to meet in thoir respective counties and appoint Delegates to convene at Kinston, on tho first Monday in April next, to consult together and select such person to represent them in the next Congress. JoN'atuan Wood, presented tha following, which passed unanimously Rtsohtd, That our fellow-citizens in the other counties not already apprized of the plan proposed, bn respectfully invited to co-operate in constituting said Convention, so as to express the public senti ment in relation to the choice as fully and exactly as possible. The following was also unanimously adopted: Resolved, That this meeting request the follow ing gentlemen to wit Messrs. ill. B.

Attmore, Esq offerrd the following, which was adopted unanimously: Resolved, That we pledge surselves to support any proper person who shall be fairly nominated in auid Convention.

On motion, the thanks of the meeting were given to the Chairman and Secretary, and the proceedings were ordered to be published in the Newbern Spectntor. The meeting then adjourned. WILL. B. WADSWORTH, Chairman.

II. Brixsok, Secr'y. Too good to be lost. On the morning after the lata Whig rmitir.g here, a veteran Whig asked a young gentleman of tho Van Buren school if lie had been present. No," replied the latter, but I pnased the court-house about the time, and heard something like the barking of a pack of dogs." Ah, right," pursued the other, "that must have been just as they struck the trail of the fugitive Coco Foco sub-Treasurers A dLpiinRiiislied American Lndy while at Rome was aked by a cardinal, if he could have the pleasure of presenting her to the Pope.

The intel'igent cannot be misled by such tom-foolery, but it does infinite in jury to the uninformed. Spectator. Jlfr. Editor, I was delighted, my' dear sir, with tha spirit that prevailed at our Whig meeting. The only draw-back to my satisfaction was the thought that there was even one voter of the District absent while the remarks were being made on the couise pursued by Mr.

Shepard. I am pleased that there was found one person in the meeting who dissented from an expression in the first resolution: not that I agree with him on the grounds of his dissent, as I did not fully understand them, but for the surrounding crowds to hears full exposition of Mr. Shepard's singular and inexplicable course to hear of the professions on which ha was elected by the Whigs to hear of his change without a known cause," anc! without explanation," and to hear of his having "deserted the principles he avowed during the canvass." 1 am pleased, sir, that the proper respect for a fellow-townsman restricted the meeting to the gentleman's public course alone, and that not one word was uttered derogatory to his private character, and standing. May all our public meetings be thus tempered by discretion and proper discrimination and white we apply the proper correctives of public derelic tion, whether it be wilfully or erroneously us do it with all the geiitlehianlike kindness and forbearance which the case will permit I congratulate you Sir, and aH other Whiys of the District', on the auspicious commencement of our campaign. We must and will succeed.

CLAY. FRIDAY, 15th FEBRUARY, 1839. Great Whig Meeting On Tuesday last, being the lecond day of Craven County Court, meeting of the Whig of the court ty was called, by publick notice, for the purpose of taking preparatory iieps to seieci a suuaDie person to be run as a Candidate to represent this emigres jional District after the expiration of the term of Mr C. B. Sbkpard, the present incumbent.

At the hour appointed for the meeting the court- bouse was surrounded by as enlbusiastick a body of ftaunch Whigs, farmers, mechanicks, merchants, Ac, a ever assembled in so noble a cause, and as oon as the doors were opened, every part of the court-room was crowded. The meeting was, be. yond question, the largest we ever saw in Newbern on a political occasion, and the unanimity of purpose manifested to promote the general wish of the District by superseding Mr. Shepard, gives us cheer ing assurance that it will be done, and by a sweeping majority- The quiet and confiding citizens ofJorlu Carolina are long-suffering and slow to anger," but when duty admonishes them to act, when principle j5 question, or the charter of the publick liberty at hazard or in unsafe keeping, all temporizing is at an end, the spirit of freemen is aroused, and pa jriotiiui guides them unetringly and unrelentingly 1o the rant oi the evil.

It gives us pleanire to state that all the resolutions the first excepted passed unanimously and this exception comprises but a tingle person, out of the mo or three huodred present. Messrs. Manly, Attmork, Graham, DuRowr, and Col. MacLkob, of Johnston, addressed the meoling in )ht appropriate and glowing language of patriotism, and were listened to with respectful attention and delight. When the sutli resolution was passed, pledging tba honourable ellbrts ol Ire em en to sustain each other in the common cause of our country, three hetirty-ckeerii Mtesred tlio sincerity of the pledge, and a dutercninalioa to redeem it was evident on every countenance.

We caiiiinl close this brief notice without ei-pressiiig upprohKiion of the mde suggested by the surrounding comities to ascertain the islies of the people respecting a Candidale or Congress. The trust is an important one, onu in hich every citizen has a drep interest, and no other is so like ly to secure the best selection as tfc of first taking lie opinion of each county, in its primary asfe.in-tilies, and afterwards a district meeting in conliii viin me wish oi a majority ri ine coun iies, and consequently of the people. It is by no means jirobuble that the person who is the first choice of any one county in the District vi ill be the first I'hoice of all the others, but we are fully per simded tUt no gentleman will be brought fiwward, Ijy the of any county, upon whom the whole parly may not and will not rally heartily and honest- ly; Bud the necessary sacrifices of personal prefer ence Kill not, we well knoiv, be permitted lo alien ate a single Whig, or relax htsKeHl in the conntry's ouss.

In his noble devotion 'to the country they recognise a kindred spirit and the relationship will be proudly proclaimed in lSlft, In this last attempt to excuse the treachery his political associates, he essays to do it by con traeting Atherton's with Wise's resolutions, and show ing that the former are more favorable to the South than the latter. Unfortunately for the Editor and his cause, this position, if true, has no bearing upon the most important point the fact that southern Van Buren men made abolition a Partv question, and "leagued" thomselves with Dr ST llke ,0 ern Whigs, under the pretext of defending the in- of slavory.

But the position of the Con stellation is false, if the testimony of Mr. F. R'ves have any weight. That gentleman some six weeks since wroto a letter on the subject, in which he admitted that Mr. Wise's resolutions were stronger than Atherton's, and he refused to support them, for parly reasons.

The high rate of premium charg- ed in consequ-nce of the opinion 'which has gone abroad, as to the danger of vessels being wrecked at this place, has caused many of the owners of vessels to decline insuring altogether.

Mr.

He said that he had been a but whs convinced of the evil of their proceedings, and would make amends by informing of their plans, and joining in (he defence of the country.

Not only this, but he is guilty of a most shameless at- tempt, to give colorto theslandnr, that the Whigs, as a pnrty, are in favor of Abolition. And in do- ing this, he is extremely unfair.

Why, for in- stance, did he not mention the union of the Locos and Abolitionists in Ohio, when he mentioned the the accidental co-operation of the Whiga with that party in New York? Mr. Shepard knows, as well as any one, mat mnst ot nnth pi st of both parties in the North- ern States are abolitionists, and if they do not ac knowledge it, it is from some selfish and inlerest ed motives. That such is the case with the Van Buren party, we arc satisfied beyond a doubt. Their affectation of supporting Southern rights, is a feint to take the South in the next Presidential election.
