Extract from the Message of Governor Irf.pkll to the legislature of A'orth Carolina . Raleigh, Not. 17. Before remarking according to a cus

tom which has ripened into a duty, upon

the prominent subjects of internal policy

whicti will probably engage your atten

tion, permit me to advert to a measure of the United States' Government.

adopted since your last session, in which

not only your immediate inferests, but

t yo a r rights aaa member of the confedcra . tion. are involved. It is with creat re

luctance that 1 address you on any act of

the constituted authorities of the nation. Did it embrace a question of mere ordinary political expediency, I should be the last to place it before you as a legitimate subject for your deliberations. North-Carolina, warmly attached to the Union, will never complain of any measure, however hardly it may bear upon her individual iaterest, if it is necessary for the general welfare, and if it does not infringe the rights reserved by each State in the Federal Compact. We have borne, without murmuring, all the privations imposed by the embargo; we have contributed towards the prosecution of the late war our share of treasure and of blood, of fortitude and constancy; we have anuaally , for many years, paid into- the national treasury, in indirect taxes, little less than a million of dollars. Thee things we have done, not because we were insensible of the burthen, but because we believed the welfare of the Union required our exertions. But now a new question is presented to us. Congress have assured the principle, that they have power to mould and direct the industry of the nation to any pursuit

which they may think most advisable,

find to make all other branches tributary to that which they may choose to select. Bran act passed at their last sesssion, commonly called the Tariff Act, impos

ing duties amounting to a prohibition upon the importation of coarse woollen and cotton fabrics, and upon some other articles, they declare, in substance, that the consumers of these manufactures includipgthe mass of our community including all the agriculturists, and all employed in commerce in fact, all en

gaged in other pursuits than those of

manufactures, shall pay an enhanced price for articles of prime necessity. What is this but a tax, whether the en hanced. price is paid into, the national treasury or in the shape of a bounty to the1 domestic manufacturer? And whence is derived the power of the gen-

portion of the community for the exclu sive benefit of another? Devoutly, a the Union was desired, where is the State that would have surrendered any part of its sovereignty, if it had believed that the regulation of its industry, of the chosen pursuits of its ci'isens, the most valuable portion of its internal economy, was to be included in the cession? North-Carolina, I am sure, would never

have listened for a moment to such a concession of her rights. Opposed as is this system, misnamed the "American System," to all the most approved maxims of "political science, it is no less opposed to the spirit of our Constitution a id to some of the fundamental prince pies on which free governments are based. One principal object of our union was to cherish and extend our foreign commerce. This Tariff system is to destroy it. Our union was to protect one

State from the unjust and illiberal commercial regulations of another. This

"American System'"" gives to the majority

ionis wholly unmitigated- Ihe limit

prescribed to this iddress win noi perron to dwell more io dstsil upon the odious character of this law, and the oppressive eff cts which its opention must produce upon the various interests of this Stslc. Exciting, as it hatdooe, very geosrsl and just indignation in the minds of our citizen. 1 have thought it my duty to submit it to you, ti tbe represen tatires of the people, as the "sentinels on the watch tower," that you might, if any constitutional means presented tbemselres, interpose them between your constituents and tb threatened mischief. I will candidly confess that no plan of effectual resistance, on Ihe part of the State Legislature, which I have yet heard suggested, appears to me free from insurmountable objections. A dissolution of the Union is not to be thougnt or. If you believe, however, as

I do on the present occasion, that the spirit oT

the Federnl Compact baa been violated, and

great injustice done to your citizens, I recom

mend to you to protest solemnly against the principle thus adopted by those who administer the general government; to repreent your sentiments to them and to your sister States, io the language of mild and friendly remonstrance, but with tbe energy which the out

rage of conscious right inspires, with the feeling of deep attachment to the Union, and avr ful foreboding as to any departure from its le

gitimate and well understood purposes I

would appeaj, too, to the patriotism and State

pride of our fellow citizens, to lend their aid, individually, in averting the immediate, evil

tfocts of this system. I would say to them Ueturn to the prudent and economical habits or your fathers; discard foreign luxuries; be not dependent on other States for what you can grow or fabricate yourselves; manufacture your own clothes by your household industry; raike W V -11

your own provisions, xou whi stiver many inconveniences, and yourprofi s will not be as great as if you had a free trade; but you will, at least, not feel the humiliation of paying a

tax imposed on you for the benefit of the greedy capitalist or the speculative politician The wealthy manufacturer will not have you for his tributaries; and the very avarice which urged biro to the enactment of this law, Will drive him to seek for its repeal. If the resric tive system is to be fastened on us, we have

this Consolation, that North Carolina is as ca

pable a any State in the Union of subsisting upon ber own resources, independent of foreign commerce, or of commerce with her sister States. IVitb a soil happily diversfi'd, with a climate corre?ponding with the richness and variety of her soil, with nearly all the useful minerals embedded io her mountains, with inexhaustible pastures, with a bsrdy and industrious population; Ihero is- not an article tbt necessity demands, scarcely one that comfort requires, and few that minister to lusury , which her fit-Ids, her forests, her rivers, or ber mountains cannot produce, or her industry fabricate within her own limits. But I cannot yet abandon my reliance upon the good sense and

justice cf our fellow-eifaens throughout the

United States. I feel a eonfdence, arising from my belief in the intelligence and patriotism of ihe people, that this system of restristion will not long es-st The cIjss of consu mers, consisting of nine-teaths of the population, will not long submit to ao grievous arvoppr. scion. Ao unfortunate delusion, created partly by local causes and partly by the arts of designing politicians, has been spread over a great part of our country. A little time a little reflection, on the part of the great body of the people, will probably dissipate this delu

sion, and restore the period when each one, unaided by government bounties, and unop. pressed by government taxation, may pursue the avocation to which he is directed by bis taleala, his interest, or his inclination,

LUCK IN BATTLE. Jacob Scout, as he is familiarly called, 'Cobe Scout,' was a. soldier in the Revolutionary army, and was commanded by General Wayne, the Chester county farmer. The night that Wayne

nspingto the ground. Cobe's lucky genius suggested the means of instant preservation. He put his foot in the stirrup and mounted into the iddle h x moment he was out of reach of friend or foe. The horse he had brought otT was a noble animal. Its owner must hw been an officer of rank, for the trappings of his charger were rich and rare. The saddle was cushioned with silk and velvet; before it was slung a short blunderbuss and a pair of silver mounted pistol?. Behind was a blue cloth valise. The other trappings were equally valuable. In the valise was found tin- linen of vari ous kinds, a pocket book and four huge horse shoes, brought out by the enemy to serve the wants of the cavalry, for each trooper's pack saddle was supplied with four of them. Cohe sold his horse far a good price, kept the shoes in tro phy of his pro wess, and rejoined the gallant Wayne. Two yean afterwards, Cobe and his old friend Vansant, now recovered from his wound, were fellow soldiers in the band that carried Stony Point by storm. That detachment was composed of the survivors of the Paolt for Wjyne knew that he could depend upon them. Thry marched up at midnight with fixed bayonets, without flints in their muskets. Silence was in all th"ir countersigns, 4Here we come, Paoli! They marched onward under a murdering fire of musketry and grape; they halted not a moment, but carried death and victory before them. Cobe Scout will tell you that when he stepped into the fort it was ankle deep in blood. As their General mounted the rampart, a musket shot struck tho upper part of his forehead, and injured his skull. The man is now living in Bucks county

ihe men, and that they would come to aer assistance and urged by the irresistible impulse of maternal affection, ran aain to the vessel. She cannot derribe how she got on board the vessel, which conlinued to be tossed by every successive surge; but she did succeed, and bro't her children from the cabin, placed them on the deck, and gave each of them something to hold on h),to prevent their being thrown overboard by the rolling of the vessel. The youngest, between 1 and 4 years old, she placed under the care of the eldt st, a boy turned of 7. The rolling of the vessel threw the youngest down to the

side, and the eldest, in striving to save

him, fell into the suif, before her eye, but it was impossible for her to render him any assistance. She , however, persevered, and succeeded in getting two of them on shore, one after the other;

but when she returned for the third, he had disappeared. The door of the hu se, already spoken

of, being shut against her, and not

knowing auy other to be near, wet and exhausted as she was, she had to pass the remainder of the i.ight, with the two children she had savtd, upon the beach. When day-light appeared, she? and her surviving children were taken to the house of a Mr, Cronk, at Rd Head; where, as far as the circumstance of the family would nernul, she was

jtreated with trie utmost kindnes , and every thing was done to make her as ! comfortable as her forlorn circumstan

ces would admit. When the tide fell, she went to look for her ot children,

and found one of th m, which she carried

in her arms to Mr, Crook's. The other was afterwards tound, by some of the neighbors, and taken there also. In Ihe course of the day, several persons from the city, who had heard of the melancholy catastrophe, went down to Red Head, te endeavor to render some assistance to this unfortunate and bereaved mother and every office of kindness, which sincere sympathy and trua benevolence could dictate, was rendered to her. Town-Major Gallagher, and Doctor

The firing now began; and the cavalry were galloping among them, trampling them down by dozens. The rush at the fence was dreadful.
