Dismissing this foolerv, therefore, let us come to the facts. You say that a frif nd has told you, that the planters in America told him, that (good kind souls!) worked their slaves less hard than formerly.

New I assert without any qualification, that, compared with the West India treatment of slaves that of America is brutal in the extreme and that things are done there, with regard to slaves, and cruelties committed on slaves, that would make even a Scotch negro driver, in the West Indies, shudder with horror. Nay, that the free negroes in the United Slates are treated in a way, and that with perfect impunity, too, which would cause th. perpetrator to he brought home from the West Indies and hanged at the Old Uailey amidst the applause ot" the multitude." Verily, friend Cobbett, (wc use one of his favorite expressions,) thou liest What will he say when he learns the fact, that after a warm debate in one of the most distinguished assemblies in the Union, their advocates have obtained an ascendency as to give them rights and privileges gratis, for which a white citizen has true. Farmers will always seek the best markets and merchants will purchase their goods where they can obtain them on the best terms. Can they be blamed for this Would the proprietor of the Cape Fear Recorder go up to Fayctteville to purchase his goods, when he could get them 25 per cent, cheaper in New-York Partaking as little of the character of an Adventurer" as he docs, and as patriotic as he would have us believe him to be, our word for it, he would not, in his sober senses," take this method of showing his patriotism, and his devotedness to the interest of his own state.

When the commercial metropolis" of North-Carolina shall hold out equal inducements, with other places, to the people of the West, then they will resort thither and the Recorder cannot ask them to do so before. In conclusion, we beg the Recorder to Ids, and periodical wtitings, but extends to publications strictly scientific and literary." AFFAIRS OF TIIF. C.RFXKS. A letter from Stutgardt says We )iavc also declared war against the Grand Turk we have had a meeting, we have elected a committee, we subscribe considerable sums, and we mean to send a sacred battalion to assist the Creeks in becoming free, Wc have already dispatched one of our volunteers to Greece to apply lo the Greek Senate to know whether they are most desirous of money or men." The latest letter we have seen from Constantinople is dated July 25. It says For some days we had reckoned on the preservation of tranquillity; to-day the jrnier apprehensions revive a crowd of Franks and other Christians seek refuge in the palace of France and in those of the embassies.

The fear of fresh excesses agitates all those unhappy persons to whom we cannot refuse an asylum, and the food necessary for their support. One cannot foresee what would happen if the rupture with Russia should take place." Great indignation has been excited in the Ionian islands by the conduct of the British merchants, in furnishing provisions to the Turks in the fortresses of the which, but for this aid, would long since have been reduced. A party of Turks recently entered the Austrian territory in pursuit of some Greeks who had taken refuge there but the Austrian troops having fired upon them, they made a preciptatc retreat without returning the fire or committing any further hostile act. Ali Pacha, who appears to have many more lives than a cat, has again entered Joannina. An army opposed to him, consisting of 30,000 Turks and 20,000 Albanians and others, has disappeared.

So say the latest accounts. The only fault is, that the story as to the Turkish army is rather too large. A new German Journal, established at Frankfort, states, under the date of Constantinople, July 25th, that an insurrection has broken out in Arabia, the intelligence of which has excited the most lively sensation in the capital of the Ottoman empire. A man, it reports, who is unceasingly repeating passages from the Koran, and who affirms that he is descended in a direct line from Mahomet, has gained over to his cause numerous partisans. The same Journal says, that another insurrection had broken out in Egypt.

Wvits YentYvtoY Exuwas, Tor i.le at this The Recorder will not stoop to notice the bilingsgatc that fills the columns of the Carolinian most nobly resolved The lion should not rouse from his lair, nor i the eagle descend from his dizzy height, without some exalted purpose in view something worthy their dignity and capable of conferring honor on their prowess. The editor of the Recorder will accept the appointment of Doorkecjicr and Because it is "on the threshold he wishes to take his stand 1" Who can doubt it No one, we presume, ever dreamt of his hol ding any other than the most conspicuous station, or of his occupying any other place than the van, in whatever conflict he might be engaged.

It was expected, that where dangers flew the thickest, there would be found the editor of the Recorder; and that, Don Quixote like, with the editor of the Compiler for his squire, he would rout the Conventionists, alias western demagogues," with as much ease as the Knight of La Mancha did the flock of sheep. Rut we surely did not expect, that the trusty spear with which he would accomplish all this, would be a file of the Car olinian 1" little did we anticipate such an event. Little did we think, when we were penning those fulsome arguments," that they were destined to perform such wonders that they would effect what all the sound reasoning, good sense, and splendid talents of the Cape Fear Recorder could never do. Rut so it is And it is one of those inscrutable events in the history of the world, which laugh to scorn the investigations of the profoundest intellect. Wc admire the effect of well chosen imiles or comparisons, as well as the art which isneccssarv to introduce them hap pily into a composition they form a great beauty in writing.

For this reason we extract the following just comparison from the Recorder, which so aptly illustrates the subject of a Convention, and the claims of the West. Our readers cannot but be sensible how palpably it hits! here it is: "A beggar comes into mv house, informs me that Providence has bestowed more of the goods of this world on me than him, he solicits a part of my possession, or a participation thereof with me, and threatens, that if I refuse, that he will take it by force that have it he will, peaceably if he can, for cibly if he must." This, western beg gars," is exactly your ense thus shameless is your conduct. We have often repeated," says the Recorder, and wc can assure our readers it is a fact that he has done so, "that if a Convention is ever called in this state, it mt hn tl.rn.ml, th IntPrfrrrnm of the Legislature and if reiterated assertions be taken for arguments, the editor has es tablished the truth of his position beyond the possibility of a doubt. According to him, the Legislature is omnipotent, and is placed above the control of the people who created it. The people, in fact, have no power the compact" was not entered into with them, but with the counties the counties, therefore, have to decide on the expediency or inexpediency of a Convention and by a perversion of logic, as well as of common sense, the Recorder makes out the voice of the counties to be the voice of the teoile I Hence the fico-file arc opposed to a Convention and all this noise about it is but the ebullition of ambitious demagogues" and disappointed oflicc seekers.

The same sort of argument is used against any change in the Senate, that is, in the mode of electing the Senators. The interest of the Hast, and the interest of the State, which the public will always recollect mean one and the same thing, require that each county should have an equal voice in that body what our readers are to understand by an equal voice" is, that Currituck, Carteret, and Columbus, should have as much weight in the Senate as range, Rowan and Meek-lenburg. This, to be sure, may be an equal representation of the counties but to call it an equal representation of the fieofile, is downright nonsense. The often repeated charge against the people of the West, of preferring the in-terest of adjoining states to that of our own, deserves no reply, because it is not I I To give a child to GOD Ti yjvrTniTiLLirrjiiCES current.
