We are sorry to see this luke-warmncss on the part of the Secietary. It is true, such calls arc attended with some expense on the part of the Government, but this should not be compared to the sad dissasters which might occur, if such calls are not noticed.

We have been told, to our surprize, that political speeches will be made by some visitors, who have been invited here. Those gen-I tlemen were invited by members of all mch parties, without distinction ; and we can nin- but regaid such a course os an obtrusion itry on the intended peaceful and quiet festivi-prit ties of the evening.

I think not. The party to which that worthy belongs, knows full well his course in this county. They kuow too that the General has never done any thing for her citizens. He has on the contrary been an aspirant to almost every office that savoured of honor or profit. How does he stand in relation to tho 14ih article of the treaty with tho Choctaws, in the “Land floating business?” We have only to watch closely the manoeuvrings of the General’s friends witli our own party.—How many whigs have been solicited by them to run for directorship in the Union Bank ? or have been asked if they wanted the situation ? This may be denied, hut it is nevertheless true ; and why is ii? Does it not plainly carry on its face—“Help us and we’ll help you”—real “log rolling custom.” Much has been said against Dr. ney * Murphev, relative to his opinions of banks in this State. If those criiics will but lay prejudice .aside, they will find about as much consistency in the Gcnerai’s views on this subject, as some men who promise to rote for him. It has also been an objection with some to the Doctor, because lie is a Clay man. I contend the General is more of a Ciayitc than the Doctor; he- { cause the General carries out Clay’s opposition to the “first settlers,” by floating j£!|bri their lands from under them, and I was in- I ciaina formed n few days since, a remark fell from the General, with regard to those claims, that “if there was vacant land enough, he would not trouble the settlers on the public lands! How obliging!!!He well knew tho election was close at hand, and if he could gull down Iris “uninterested kindness” a little longer, so that lie can he elected, all would be well; and it is tome most astonishing what an influence a man’s politics would have in this county. It is high time that men as wellited p and rt.

Dr. Murphey’s deportment and course since his residence amongst us is fully known, and needs no comment from me. Suffice it to say, that if elected, we shall have our interest as much promoted as the General can in any manner do, and in my humble opinion, more.
