Hut the change is not astonishing when wc reflect that at the time that old saying was adhered to, our governor had never been a bank director ; our judges were not one of them bank director ; cur legislators dare not be bank directors, and our clergymen wcutd not worship mammon in any shape or pollute their lnnds with a bank directorship ! No, no, in them days all our citizens venerated integrity and patriotism, and were studious to avoid cvev tiling that would

lessen the independence or prosperity of their country. Is this feeling predominant now ? All who runs may read. But no more of this. I will turn your attention to the inestimable work, entitled, " The fiolitical effects

Three Negroes, CHARLES, and his itift MELBERRY, and SjM. CHARLES is about five fcetciht or ten inches high, thirty-six or secn years old; was raised near the Falls of Tar River, in the state of NorthCarolina ; is very sensible ; has but one eye, and I am told can wite, and may have procured a pass for ail three. He has a quantity of clothing, among which is a blue coarse surtout coat, a blue stripe waistcoat, a pair of slice-boots, a pair of coarse tow clotlv pantaloons, and shirt. He is a coarse carpenter, and can saw very w ell with the whip saw. MELBERRY, the wife of Charles,

is of common size, twenty-eight or nine years of age ; has a variety of clothing with her, several dresses of calico and white cambric. She is a sickly woman, and has a yelloaibh complexion. SAM is low and chunky, very thick lips, with a down look, about 35 years of age ; his clothing is not remembered, except a brown coat of very coarse coating, which fits him badly. He has a rupture in the low

er part ot his abdomen, and commonly wears a belt. All of them I expect are free from marks of the whip, as neither of them has ever been stricken since lov.ncd them, which is about five yeais It i supposed they were carried off by some white men, and that they will -aim for the state of Illinois, Indiana

or Ohio, or go back to the county of Edgecombe, in North-Carolina. The above reward will be given for securing in any gaol out of this$Mte and a liberal reward will be paid if taken in ibis state. TIIEO. IV. COCKBURX. State or Alabama, Franklin c. 4. miles south of Florence, 12i7; June, 1820.
