Next Congress. —The patriotic State of North Carolina will present an almost undivided phalanx at Washington next winter against Nullification. Carson is beaten, and there are but two members chosen whose course will run side and side with McDuffie & Co. More than two thirds of the Delegation are friendly to the re-charter of the Bank. It gives us pleasure to learn that in the Fayetteville district, represented in the last Congress by Mr. Bethune, a semi-nullifier, the new member is both in favor of the Bank and Mr. Clay’s Land Bill. It is remarkable that Mr. Bethune was beaten by precisely the same majority that he was elected two years ago.— Boston Atlas.
