Another etter of the late Secret. t of the Navy will f)e found in our columns today. It contains decisive proof that N rth Carolina would not enter into his discontented feelings and Ave think it wise in Mr. Branch, to relinquish the hostility originating in personal considerations, to the sober seiie of the community, to which he owes all his distinction. It is always the mistake cf politicians to imagine that whatever concerns them individually, is of more importance than that which concerns the interest of the country. Or in other words, an in dulged politician believes, that he is to his particular section the most imp.ts;it con icr, it can have. This seems to have been Mr. Branch's mistake. He supposed that all North Carolina would be up in arms because in reorganising the Cabinet, the President thought it necessary to part with the Secretary of the Navy. The nation however, unites in approving the wisdom of the counsels which led to a change of the Cabinrt. and North Carolina concurring heartily iii the measure, has welcomed the return of Mr. Branch very respectfully. But he has found on his journev through the state, that his fellow citizens arc not ready to sac - i i e their principles to his personal piqw . And therefore he very properly determined, as the State would not give up its political sentiments to fdt ase him, to give up his pri vate resentments to fileasc the Mete. Globe, June 11. From the Halifax, .V C. Advocate. CORRCSPONDENCE Between toe citizen f Bertie anl Governor Branch, Windsor, May 14th, 1831. SIH: The undersigned, citizens of the 2i Congressional district, reposing entire Confidence in your talents and political expc;" nce, are solicitous that you should become a candidate to represent this district in the next Congress. We do believe th it the present state of parties renders it essentially important that we should be ably represented in that body. The recent attack on the administration by Mr. Tazewell, however correct the principle f;r winch he contended, we are constrained to believe mainly resulted from a disposition on his part, to render odious the then administration. We greatlv deplore the discord and disunion that have been produced by the alledged intrigues of Mr. Van Buren, and by the publication of Mr. Cdhoun; of the existence of the former, ve are destitute of proof, but the baneful influence of the latter is too palpable to be overlooked by any friend of the President. At the next sessi m of Congress, it is lie v -cd that an effort (with some, pe haps a hst eiTrt) will be made to modify the present tariff, so as to render it les-. buuueusome to the South. The renewal of the charter of the United States' Bank, may be expected to become a topic of discussion in the course of a few more sessions. We firmly believe that such an institution has no warrant in our Constitution.and are perfectly convinced that if it were constitutional, that its dangers far transcend its benefits. We hue, sir, frankly stated our feelings ?i opinions. We trust they are in accordance with yours, and we are free to say, that if the fact be so, that there is no man in this district or state whom we would select to represent us sooner than yourself.

The confidence which you have been so kind as to express in inv tai u:s and politic il experience, and the desire you hive manifested th it I should become a cmdid ite to represent this d'stnet ;n trie next Congress ot the United Slates, together with the frank m inner in winch you li ivc gie;ivo ar opinion of certain men an 1 measures with a view to elicit mine, me i it niv respectful consideration, and sh all leci ie inv prompt attention. I mot decidedlv concur with yo i in believing th it discord has been introduced into the ranks of the administration by the intrigues of selfish polrici.ins. A short time, 1 trust, will I) sufficient to enable the intelligent enquirer to obtain the whole truth. Until then, perhaps, it would be the part of prudence to leave the question open, and ivlv n the righteous judgment of the peopl -. II i.vevcr, ivcoa, vojr undoubted right to know all my opinions both as to th"

prominent men and leading measures of the j

country, 1 will, with that irankness viiicin pernid when l must necessuruy incur a i heavy responsibility in giving them, that vou j will extend to me your generous charities! for any trior ino which I may be thus in- j cautiously led; for there is nothing about! which men are so apt to u;Ur, nay to err. as their opinions of men. In the firs place, then, as to the motives which influenced Mr. T.in his course in the senate of the United States on the Turkish mission, I profess to know nothing. With Mr. Van Buren, I have had frequent personal and official intercourse, and the time was when he possessed my confidence. Mr. Calhoun's private virtues and public services, particularly during the late war. together with his high order of talents, al-; ways commanded my respect; but his lati-! tudmous political doctrines dining Mr. ?1ojiroe's administration, met my disapprobation. Hence it is that no one, correctly informed, h is ever considered me his political partisan. As to mvself I can trulv sav that I have no person in view, for the succession. 1 am at a loss to say who among the prominent politicians I ought to support. Fortunately for me and the country, this question may yet be advantageously postponed. The present controversy be tween Gen. Jackson and Mr. Clay, can never divide southern politicians to any extent. " The American System," the hobbv of the leader, has but few advocates among southern planters, and its author still fewer adherents. On Gen. Jackson then, who is himself a planter, we must depend, with a confident reliance on the justice of Congress tor relief against the oppression of a system of exactions which if persevered in, must ultimately lead to the most calamitous re suits. The great and fundamental princi pies which divide.! our country into panics, are cf momentous concern; and every wty vorthv of the untiring vigilance of the American people. '1 he journals of the Senate of the United States, for the six years that I was a member cf that body, will best show my opinions on the Tariff of 1824 and '2rf, which now threaten the repose of the Union, and the prosperity of the southern country. Thee afford an earnest of the course of which I shall feel it to be my duty to pcrsue i reference to any measures which uiav ne calculated to repeal or mitigate this "bill of abominations," as it has been emphatically called by on of its pre sent most active and efficient supporters. The next point to which you invite my attention, is the Bank of the United States. I am unable to perceive how I can votefor the renewal or" the charter in any form. My opinion in relation to Banks is of long standing, ana has, in iovth Carolina at least, become somewhat a matter of public notoriety. I have believed that it vvas the intention of the framer3 of the Federal Constitution, that the currency of the United States should have been metallic, and 1 inferred this from the technical language employed, and the exclusive power given to Congress to coin money and to regulate its value, with the positive inhibition on the states to do the same thing, or to emit bids of credit, or to make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts. But the ingenuity of man has sought out many inventions, ant' the person would be thought mad, who, at this day, would seri ously urge the above ouinion, finding that every State in the Union has chartered Banks, and thereby indirectly regulate the whole value of money as effectually as thr ugh they had the power to coin it. A N itional Bank has been recommended bv the President, with certain well defined unwprs.

Thus, gentlemen, I have responded to vou ful I v and freelv. I have no concealment in politics. My principles remain now as in T9S, when thev were first formed at College. 'They have undergone no I change that 1 am sensible ot. " I hcv have grown with my growth, and strengthened with my strength."

In that paper of this evening is contained the following remark of my wift : 'It is proven that the secretaries of the treasury, and of the navy, and of the attorney general, refused to associato wkh her." This publication appears in a paper which professes to be friendly to you, and is brought forth under your immediate eye. I desire to know of you whether or not you sanction or disavo-v it. The relation we have sustained towards each other authorizes me to demand an immediate answer. Very respectfudy, J H. EATON. Sam'l Ingham. Esq. REPLY. Washington. 18th June, 1831.

When you have settled such accounts with you. particular friends, it will be time enough to make demands o others In the mean time, I iake the occasion to say, that y u must be not a little deranged, to imagine that any blus teringof yours could induce me lo disa vow what all the inhabitants of this city knoiv, and perhaps half the people ol the United States believe to be true I am, sir, respectfully vou s, Sec.

From tits Albany Argvs. monopolies". The East India Company, by virtue cf a charter under the British govert.-rent. has enjoyed a monopoly of the trade of China, lor more than a centurv and a

half. When the charier of the company j was renewed in 1813, British subjects in general were allowed to participate in the trade to Hindostan, otid some other i parts of the east, from which they had been previously excluded; but they were at the same time strictly prohibi ed fiom carrying on any sort of intercourse with the Chinese empire. This givesli monopoly of the Chinese world to trjo thousand Jive hundred, and excludes TWENTY nva JiiLLiONsof British sub jects lioni any put ticipation in trade with a population amounting to about a third part of the whole human race -These facis are derived from a late number of the Edinburgh Review. Hie company has become so power ful, that it fiiids no difficulty, when the period of a renewal ot its charter comes round, in convincing the Br itish nation that the very existence ot ii s govern ment depends upon renewing the charter and perpetuating the monopoly of the East India Company to the twenty five hundred, to the totat exclusion ol twenty five millions of B itish suhj-cts. Its money will command, not onlv the rotten boroughs, but ?he rotten presses. From the Globe.
