Ladies’ TH Tus New Instrrution is collegiate in grade, course of study, mode of instruction, literary and scientic character. The ornamental branches are to be cultivated with taste and skill. To all those objects for which parents send their daughters from home to be enriched and adorned with a wise, a liberal and christian education—to these sacred duties, have Professor and Mrs. Morgan devoted their lives; and with grateful triumph refer to their pupils: many of them are regarded with admiration in their Tespective circles. If there be any value in an ardent attachment to the Southern half of our Union, here Mr. Morcan began his Professional life, and the friends of his youth in these States, are his unwavering friends to welcome his return and to rejoice ip his success. During these last five years, so mild and effectual has been the govern- ment of Young Ladies, that not one has disobeyed, uncheered by reforma- tion, no one has been punished, no fair name has been tarnished by “ sus- picions,” and but one removed, and with a kindness that merited the grat- itude of all her friends ! Mr. and Mrs. Moraan, as heads of this Institution, acting as parents of their own Pupils, understanding and venerating their Profession, and re- lying oft the same mild and parental form of government, expect no pupil to be entrusted to them, where personal esteem and confidence are withheld. Our system of instruction requires this filial state of the heart and volunta- ry co-operation of the reason. The interchange of letters between parents and the Heads of the Institution, should be free and confidential. Parents and Guardians are requested to consider with more than common attention the prescribed course of study ; to see how much is already at- tained, how much can be provided for. It is plain, progressive, practical, and attainable before the aye for much intercourse with society. It has been matured by eo many pupils, and so approved in these states as meet- ing the wants of parents desiring the best education, that it is no experi- ment, no importation ; truly, ‘ periculo et negotiis compertum est.” On all these accounts, the friends of Education and the Institutions of public and private instruction, are relied on to welcome the “ Salisbury Young Ladies Institution,” as bearing no borrowed name, no factitious at- tractions, but aspiring, by its own merits, to some distinction in the honored family of Learning. COURSE OF STUDY. The Preparatory School, in a separate apartment, entrusted to an able teacher, is to prepare Misses for the First Class in the Institution, by great accuracy in all elementary branches, exercise and discipline of mind, and formation of habits. : ' | ¢ | First Cless.—Davies’ Arithmetic, through Rule of Three ; Bullion’s Eng- ( | lish Grammar, correcting Syntax ; Mitchell’s Geography, drawing from memory out-line Maps, Bible History.

On completing this Course, with an available knowledge of one language besides our own, a Diploma is awarded as the most becoming memorial of a parent’s liberality and of a daughter’s merits. Students from other schools The extra and ornamental cipal may advise. THE FRENCH LANGUAGE will be thoroughly taught, with a view to read the best writers with flu- ency and to write the language correctly. The Latin will be studied with great care to perfect the knowledge of our own tongue, and to acquire a comprehensive literature. It is believed that in no Institution in this country is greater attention given to the study of our own language, or in which composition is more practised or a greater proportion of good writers are formed. Besides the ordinary exercises there is in use keeping a regular journal, writing the most interesting parts of one sermon each Sabbath, recording the great events of our own country and of the world as they rush upon us. These, in addition to taking notes on Lectures and preparing reviews, reports and essays, with writing letters, give freedom to conversation, and originality to composition.

The purchase of new and valuable apparatus for Natural Phile Natural History, Chemistry, and Astronomy, will render this a disting ed School for experimental and practical Science. Tue undersinged Citizens of Salisbury, having carefully estimated what- ever obstacles may arise to the immediate and permanent success of the Institution, unanimously publish the following address to the public. “Tue rising interests of this ancient and colonial Town, have received a new impulse in the union of a number of its citizens, in establishing for Female Education, an Institution on the most liberal and permanent foun- dation. A site has been selected and purchased,—which for the extent and beauty of its grounds—the excellency of its water—and the conven- ience of its buildings,- gives flattering assurances of future improvement and satisfaction. “To organize and conduct this Institution, a very cordial invitation has been tendered to the Rev. Professor Morcan,—a name associated with the highest order of Female Education in this and other States. ‘« He will be able to apply any amount of funds he may wish, to procure apparatus, and all other facilities to perfect that system of education, which has justly won for him the confidence of the best judges. We have also,, entire confidence in the domestic oversight and maternal care of Mrs. Morean. “In obtaining the services of this distinguished Gentleman and Lady, we make no experiment: it is a transfer of a plan well settled by experi- ence and success. Noman has been more diligent in advancing the cause, and elevating the Standard of Education in North Carolina, nor will any make greater sacrifices for the public good. « We further announce to Parents and Guardians and to the publie gen- erally, that it will be in the power of Professor Morcan, on account of local facilities, to remunerate the best Teachers, and conduct the Institu- tion with his usual ability, at considerably reduced prices. ‘* These considerations, with a smiling Providence in the acknowledged healthfulness of our Town and community, give well grounded hopes of extensive usefulness and permanent success. ‘The inauguration of Professor Morcan, as Principal of the Institu- tion, and the reception of students from a distance, are to be on the 4th of July. Addreeses and appropriate exercises, will commemorate the occa- sion, and the day. «TT. L. COWAN, J. H. JENKINS, M. BROWN, W. OVERMAN, J. D,. BROWN, HAND JAMES, T. H. PIERCE, J. I. SHAVER, M.

The tribe having become well advised of the fact. hastened afier company and demanded the murderér. At first the demand was resisted; but afier the Indians had informed them that they w.uld destroy the company if their request was not granted, the youth was surrendered in- to their hands. ‘They then stripped him, and in the presence of his father and the whole company, they skinned him from his head to his feet. He lived four hours afier he was thus flayted. A Noval Voyage.—A fine brig, built in Cin- cinnati, arrived at Salem, Mass., on Friday last from Ohio, via New Qxleanz, with full. cargo. "Phe alranger attracted greal attention, Broiling a Pirate,—Dr. Woodbridge Strong one of the witnesses in the Webster trial, gave the following account of a dainty little bit of professional cookery : I hage dissected a good many bodies in my day. I had a pirate given me in warm weath. er, in the year , and as [ only wanted the bones, | dissected him rapidly, and as there was a good deal of fat about him | thought it would be as good a way as any to burn him up ; I therefore made a large roaring fire, and kept at work throwing on piece by peace all night, and until 11 o’clock the next day. I found | had not done. bya great deal. I consider it a great job to burn up a human body. Pitch pine would be the best thing to do it with. It is ne- cessaty to keep the fire well stirred up during the process or it will go out. Mr. Clay expressed himse!f in the Senate, on Tuesday, as not favorable to the extension of patents.

There is far more security of life and property than we might ex- pect among barbarians. ‘Travellers have sel- dom felt any apprehension of danger from the inhabitants. On the contrary, they have usu- ally been treated with respect and often with remarbable kindness. Hospitality is reckoned a virtue, and to maltreat a stranger, especial. ly a white man, is esteemed a heinous offence.

The Landers remained two or three months at Boussa, and were treated with great respect. Christian Index. The Plot to Murder Kossuth,—A letter from London to the Philadelphia North American, gives the following account of the plot to mur- | der Kossuth and his companions : “T have before alluded to a diabolical plot of the Austrian government to murder the dis. tinguished Kossuth. Count Stuvmer, it is said planned the awful conspiracy against the life of Kossuth, and against several other political prisoners. ‘The plot was communicated toa poor Hungarian by a Frenchman, who loaned the former some money for the expenses of his | The Hungarian was ac. | journey in Schumla. companied by fifieen persons, and he was in- structed to liberate certain refugees when he arrived at Schumla; but he was detained at Constantinople by his passport. He visited a family of Hungarians, and spoke of his intend edglans. The daughter of the master of the House warned the Hungarian not to proceed to Schumla, because her lover, a Croat, and his companions were engaged to murder him and other Hungarians.. The whole conspira. | cy was at once disclosed tothe Minister of For- eign Affairs. It was an infernal plot. and wor. they of the associates of Haynau! It appears that Kossuth and hig friends were to be warned that they would be poisoned ; the hired assas. sins of Austria (the Croats)—assisted, too, by a sincere and innocent Hungarian—were to represent to Kossuth that they would liberate him and his friends, and after they had escaped from Schomla, they intended to follow them and murder every man on the road! Fortun. ately, the whole plot was discovered in time to save many valuable lives. ‘Ihe Purte imme. diately inquired into the affair, and arrested twelve Croats, who were hired by Austria to accomplish the horrid job. It is said that the Frenchman who loaned the Hungarian money was not aware of the plot.” The Official repost by the Hon, Thomas But- ler King, of his visit to California, has been looked for with so much interest that it will doubtless be acceptable information to our read. ers to learn that it has been at length comple- ted—baving been somewhat delayed in the preparation by Mr. King’s indisposition—and placed in the hands of the Exeturite, by whom it will doubtless soon be primo es — ess, and, (brough the-press, to the ic. et ’ 4 Pr ‘Net.

Let any man show us a sounder princi- ple or a safer guide than those now before us, and we shall cheerfully adopt them. ‘Till then, we must earnestly hope that Mr. Webster’s truly national and statesmanlike effurts for the settlement of this great family quarrel in the American Union, will be seconded by the peo- ple of the United States in such a manner as will secure the domestic peace of the country on the most lasting foundations. Rencontre.—We regret to learn by pri- vate correspondence from Wilmington, that a difficulty occurred in that place a few days ago, between Mr. Brown, editor of the Chronicle, and Mr. (late lientenant) Edward Cantwell, in which the latter gentleman applied a cane to the shoulders of the former. It was from a newspaper controversy, in which Mr. Cantwell taunted Mr. Brown with being a Northern man, and hence entertaining anti-slavery affinities. | Mr. Brown retorted by calling Mr. C. a South Carolina squatter. Whether this, or something which has not appeared in the papers, was the im- mediate cause of blows, we are not in- | formed. No one can look at Cantwell’s eagle eye, and make up bis mind that he can insult him with impunity.—Fay. Car. - Later still from the Sea Serpent.—We | learn from a passenger in the Charleston boat, on Sunday evening, says the Savan- 'nah Georgian, that the venerable Sea | Serpent has positively become a Whale, lor rather that there are four in number ; | (wo grown whales and two calves. On Sat- _urday last an expedition was fitted out, as we have before stated. from Beaufort, | with a brass four pounder and barpoons. | The boats came up with the whales in | Broad River, and had two fair shots at them, neither of which took effect. The boats then neared them, and two har- poons were thrown into one, when after aterrible braying, he carried the boat with great velocily for about two hours, when both harpoons drew out and the: whale escaped. The party returned to Beaufort, and on "yesterday were to have made another trial to secure the monsters. It is believed they will be successful. The grown whales are described as being some forty feet long, and calves half that size. So much for Sea Seapent.— Richard's (Charleston) Gazette. ‘Mr. Webster’s great speech bas been trans- lated into German, and is publighed in the { Washington City Spectator, a German paper : sideration has heen that nat more than half the Southern states will probably be represented in the convention, and that its effect, under such circumstances, would be to weaken, instead of strengthen the cause of the South. In all of this reasoning there is great force, and we have no hesitatian in saying that the Southern convention should at least be postponed antil after the present session of Congress. In this view of the case, we should appoint no dele. gates.” “ Here !s not only a positive refusal to | eo-operate, but a cool suggestion to aban- don the whole thing, by one of the lead- ing organs of the Democratic party. This is indeed a severe blow to ultraists, the full force of which they cannot but feel. We might multiply evidences of the disapprobation of the people, but we will not weary the patience of the reader af- ter sobmitting another indication, which We find in the letter of R. W. Flounoy, | of Washington County, to the Editor of the Central Georgian, who had suggested Mr. F. as a suitable delegate from the Eighth Congressional! Distriect.tothe Nash- ville Convention. Afterthanking the Ed- itor for the honor, and respectfully declin- ing the nomination, Mr. F. procceds: “ The fact cannot he concealed that the peo. ple of Georgia have not responded to the ac. tien of the Legislature on that subject, is there sucb a unanimity among the slarehold. ing States as could alone secure due weight to | the action of that convention. Nor will the tone of Mr. Calhoun’s speech strengthen the | cause hy promo ing that harmony necessary to its efficiency. don the strong position we now occupy by ask. | ing for an amendment of the constitution, believ- ing it full and sufficient for our protection, and that we can alone be injured hy ite violation. “ Besides, it ie hoped and believed by many that the present Congress will settle the whole | question, on a lasis satisfactory to the South, whieh will preclude the necessity of a conven. | tion. Here. again. the neeessity for the Con- vention is seriously questioned, and a se- vere thrust given ta Mr. Calhoun’s Uto. pian theory of an alteration of the Con. Stitution. These are some of the signs in Georgia, which induce the impression on our mind Yhat the great mass of the people are too intelligent and conservative, to place themselves and the institutions of the exentry atthe merey of a few demagogues and political tricksters. [et the country mark the progress of events. A part of the information received by the Nori!) Carelinian in regard to an af- fiir which occurred in this town a few days since is entirely incorrect.

Nor | We, of the South, cannot aban. | ppears ha tat : » ne Ohio Legislature; making it a penal offence for | any citizen to aid in the arrest of a fugitive | slave. We cannot believe that any such bill ) can become a law in Ohio; and its introduc | tion must be regretted as the evidence of a spir- it as wild, as lawless, as unfriendly to the Un. | ion, as directly treasonable, we might say, as that the country at this moment deplores and denounces in the miserable faction of Nashville Convention malcontents, who conspire the de. | struction of the republic. It is true that such a law as this is in nowise | More iniquitous and unconstitutional than the | South Carolina law by which citizens of North. | ern States—as the colored sailors of Maasa- |} chusetts—are imprisoned in South Carolina | ports ; but it is iniquitons and unconstitution. al notwithstanding, and has not even the poor | color of necessity with which the Southern law | 1a attempted to be excused. It is true, also, | that it must prove a nulity, destined to be swept | out of existence by the decision of the first U. States court to which a case under it should be applied ; but this fact only renders glaringly im proprer the attempt to enact it. Whatever we may think in the North individually as to the slasery question, in all its different aspects, there can be no difference of opinion as to the meaning of the constitutional provison in regard to fugitive slaves; asthere can be none as to the constitution itself being the fundamental law of the land, overruling all S:ate laws which in any way conflict with it, or with the laws of the United States framed under it. Nu State | bas a right to say that its citizens shall not o | | | | bey a las of the United States, which is in it. | self a constitutional law; and the attempt to | interdict them ig nothing short of nuliticationg— | precisely such nulification as was once univer. | sally rebuked when attempted in South Caroli- na seventeen years ago. It is, in fact. disun- ion. If Ohio has the right to absolve her citi. zens from their allegiance in one case, Miasis- sippi has the same rivht in another; so has every State in the Union. Aud the moment such abolition is generally attempted, the Un. ion is at an end, and the epublic ex'sts no longer. The Union of the States, in truth. exists in , the submission of the States and of the people | of the States to the Constitution and the su- | preme authority of the General Government ; | and whenever the submission is withdrawn, in apy particular, by a State, that State is in arms | Against the Union.—North American. | Two Women frozen to death.—The New | Brunswick papers speak of the cold as in- , tensely severe last week.

Cass and Mr. Clay, some time ago,in the Senate Chamber, spoke of themselves as being the best abused men in the country. It is more than probable that they are not slighted on this score. But in North Carolina these gentlemen are dealt kindly by, as com- pared with the treatment of the Democra- cy, of the Hon. Edward Stanly. They give it to him right and left, hip and thigh. To use a marine term, they take him fore- and aft. Every species of weapon is brought to bear against him. except one; and that one his assailants have either entirely overlooked, or are afraid to han- dle. It is a bright, glitter blade, keen and infallible. Truth is its name. If Mr. Stanly was indeed vulnerable, this sure weapon in a single skill hand would fell him at once—would do more at a single blow than those baser things, mal- ice, envy, falsehood and detraction, can ever accomplish. It is vain for them to attempt to kill him off by accusing him of enmity tothe South. That is a vail so thin that the eyes of the blind can pene- trate it, Let them say he is opposed to Locofocoism, and therefore we denounce him. That is a truth so evident that any fool may understand it. Let them say we can’t scare, or drive him by our new humbug. the Nashville Convention move- ment. His speech of the 6th of March, will satisly any man, that Eowarp Sray- LY is neither to be driven or scared into the support of measures which neither his judgment or feelings can approve. On the contrary, his quick mind and unflinch- ing courage is a perfect terror to these Southern agitators, who are gambling for the spoils. He lashes them in the most refined style. No wonder they abase him. - ABUSE OF THE METHODISTS. Mr. Stanly in his speech personally a- busive of Me. Hilliard. M. C., and an em- inent and highly respected Methodist Preacher, deridingly and opprobriously called the preachers of Mr. H.’s persua- sion, “hundred dollar fcllows.” He can’ explain away the tauat and the reflection intended, for there it is, “hundred dollar fellows.” Mr. Stanley may think that if he shopld lose Methodist Popularity by it that be will propjsiate the Baptists, of whom there are a great many in his disfrict, so ag to more than make yp for svueh loss. We believe the baptists are too sensible to be he Ho o justice to Mr. Stanly as he has — f willing to condemn him, eddbld have seen bow Mr, Stanly ht use the term “ hundred dollar fel- rs” without meaning it ina “ deriding” 1c * opprobiaus” sense, We ofte » speak Pour very best friend; as being “a vefy dever fellow.” Who. will. pretend. that When so used it is to be understoed> in an opprobious™ sense.

To conclude, in the + face of Mr. Stanly’s denial to the contra- ry. that he used the term (if he used it at all, and the report of his speech in the Congressional Globe does not sbow it,) in a “deriding” and “opprobious” sense, it ap pears to us, betrays a willingness to con- demn that gentleman that would excite no surprise, coming- from a democrat.— Bat in this case, Mr. Badger professing to be a Whig. this derunciation of astrue a man as Edward Stanly. is calculated, at Jeast, to attract the attention of his friends. Whilst on this subject we wil] pursue it a little farther, and invite attention to the following article from the same pa- per. HON. EDWARD STANLY. The speech recently delivered hy Stan- ly of this State, in the parts which replied to Mr. Hilliard was a disgrace to himself, to the party to which he belongs, to the assembly in which he delivered it, and a damning disgrace tothe State from which he hails. We have not seen a man bere whig or democrat, that does not agree that he has delivered himself of language unworthy an honorable member of Con- gress, and more suited to the brothel or bar room, than to the halls of a delibera- tive assembly. He has done injustice to his State, pro- ved himself recreant to the trast reposed in him. made avowments which mark him as a renegade to the South. and by his af filiation with northern fanatics, laid him self open to be called with more of truth than censure, a rank Freesoiler. We wash our hands of any and all ‘sympathy with such a man. a This article, to say nothing of its tone, startled us—we snatched up Mr. Stanly’s speech and reviewed it with care, from beginning to end. He lashes the agita- tors of the Slavery question, whether North or South. He charges, that if Cass had been elected there would have been none of this excitement and agitation, and that it is a democratic scheme to em- barrass the present Administration and to distract Whig councils and break the strength of the Whig party. We see no thing in the speech to justify the use of such terms as we quote from the * Hor- nets’ Nest :” and we should be pleased that the Editor would point out those por- tions of the speech which excite him so much, and we will examine them more closely still. If it is really trae that Mr. Stanly has disgraced himself, the good old North State, and “the party to which he belongs.” as members of that party we want to have it distinctly understood, how, when, where, and all about it. We want to see the proof. INTERESTING LETTER. A gentleman attending the meeting of the General Commissioners of the Rail Road at Greensborough last week, writes to a friend in this place as follows: “The Rail Road will be made. All the million has been paid and will pay but se- venty-six thousand dollars, and that is less than one share of the hundred to the county of those on the line. Eight hun. | ‘ dred and sixty thousand paid down and fitty-six thousand more were ready, but detained by accident: The work that we have heretofore done has been prepara- tory only to subscriptions. There were no legal subscriptions till the 5 per cent. was paid. so thatin fact we received 860 thousand dollars of subscription since we came here. A pretty good day’s work ! The 56 thousand will be undoubtedly paid ina few days. and the books are to be again opened for the remainder. We should have had more than enough if all had stuod up that promised to join the 100 men, but several of these failed.

Whereas the construction of the first Section of the Fayetteville aud Western Plank Road appears to have satisfied very generally the community of the Town 0 Fayetteville, and those who trade to that place, that improvements in the mode of transportation by these roads is well adop- ted to the condition and wants of this sec tion of the State ; and the Board of Direc: tors as well asthe citizens of Fayetteville are desirous to extend these roads in ev- ery direction—and the general meeting of the Stockholders of the said Company, will be a favorable time for the consider- ation of such matters. Resolved, That an invitation be given to the citizens of the counties of Chatham, Orange, Guilford, Forsyth, Stokes, and other counties in the North and West, as well as to the citizens of the counties ot Robeson, Anson, Richmond, Stanly, Mont- gomery, and the other counties on the South of the line, and all others who may please to do so, to appoint delegates to attend in Fayetteville on the 1]th day o: April, at 11 o'clock, that being the day of the general meeting of the Stockhold- ers of the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road Company. to consult on the impor- tance and propriety of building branches to the said road, North and South, as pro- vided by the charter of the said Company. Resolved. That the President of the Company cause this notice to be circula- ted as generally as possible. ED'D LEE WINSLOW, Pres? John M. Rose. Clerk of the Board. We desire to commend the subject of the above notice to the consideration of the public in this vicinity. We leare that the Plank Road survey is nearly com: pleted up to Johnsonville (old Cross Roads) in Randolph county, a point 21 or 22 miles south of Greensboro, ; and we learn fur- ther, that the spirit of the Fayetteville pe ple is up in favor of this mode of improve: ment, and that they are ready and willing to assist to a most liberal extent in 8 S)* tem of Plank Roads for the benefit of the up-country and of their town. The inv tation to delegates from this section '§ perhaps extended at a rather unfortunate time—just at the culmination of our Raik road project, which demands the first at- tention of the people. But even the great scheme, we are sure, will not prevent the favorable regard of the people, or thelr aid to the Plank Road system.

It has become so fashionable now-a-days that when a merchant has a few loads of goods to advertise, that he has the largest stock of goods ever offered in this market, that we shall not say anything about our having the largest or smallest stock, but we do say that we have a few goods which we bought ear- | ly in February and March, and bought for cash; and | we now offer them for sale, wholesale or retail on as good terms, and a little better, than any other house in this place. We deem it unnecessary to advertise a list of what goods we have, but suffice it to say, that we ask neither old or new stores any odds, but are determined to sell goods lower than any other house in this Town. We respectfully invite all buyers to call and examine our stock before buying. We are ready and anxious to show any thing we have at all times, and try to induce all persons to make their purchases with us. Remember the Brick Store, Main Street, Salisbury, N. C. W. MURPHY & CO.

As soon as they were fairly domicilated, the would be bridegroom—who was a rough, but apparently bonest specimen of the country Yankee—sent for the proprietor of the hotel, who quickly answered his summons. Say, lan’lord, proposed the stranger, poiat- ing to his modest dulcinea, in the corner of the parlor, this ismy young ’ooman. Naow we’ve cum all the way from Rhode Island, and we want to be spliced. Send fora minister, will yer? Want it dun up rite strait off. The landlord smiled and went out, and half an hour afierward a licenced minister made his appearance, and the obliging host, with one or two waggish friends, were called in, as wit- nesses to the scene. “* Naow, Mr. Stiggins,” said the Yankee, “ due | it up brown, and yure money’s ready ;” and forthwith the revernd gentleman began by di- recting the parties to join their hands. The Yankee stood up to his blushing lady love, like a sick kitten hugging a hot brick, seized her hand, and was as much pleased as a raccoon might Be supposed to be with two tails.” ** You promise, Mr. A.” said the parson, ‘to take this woman—” ‘* Yaas,” said the Yankee, at once. * To be your lawful and wedded wife.” ‘“ Yaas—yaas.” “That you will love and honor her, in all things. Yass.” “That you will cling to her, ard her only, so long and you both shall.live.” “Yaas, indeed — nothin’ else!” continued the Yankee, in the most delighted and earnest | manner, but here the revered clersyman halt- ed, much to the annoyance and discomfiture of the intended bridegroom. “* Yaas—yaas, I said,” added the Yankee. “One moment, my friend,” responded the minister slowly for it suddenly occurred to him that the law of Massachusetts did not per- mit of his performance, without the observance of a “ publishment,” etc., for a certain length of time. ‘*Wot’n thunder’s the matter, mister? — | Doan’t stop—go on—put’er threu. Nothin’s split,eh? Aint sick, mister, be yer!” FARMERS SHOULD TAKE NEWS. PAPERS. A friend of ours, whose business has oc- casioned him totravel a good deal recent- ly, in the counties west of this, expresses much astonishment at the fact, that many, even rich, farmers do not take a newspa- per. He told us of one or two instances of the sale of hogs, of the finest and fattest not the farmers been entirely ignorant of the state of the markets. He said he had no doubt, and we have as little, that han- dreds of farmers will this season lose in this way enough to pay for a good news- paper as long as they live. | help feeling sorry that men are shortsight- ed, even in regard to their pockets, as well /as the improvement of their minds; but we don't know but it is wrong to be sorry, for it is their own fault, and they hardly deserve pity for losses which they make no ‘effort to avert. Newspapers have done more for the people of this country than can be estimated ; and yet there are thousands of full grown men who do not see them at all, except by chance. If a _large majority were as indifferent and , stolid as these, we should not be above the level of Mexicans—and become sub- | ject to political, as well as other rogues, | who prey upon ignorance and credulity. —Indiana State Sentinel. | | Two Datchmen living opposite each o- |ther, who had for many years been in the habit of smoking by their door-sides in si- lence, at length broke forth into the fol- | lowing dialogue: “What sort of wedder you tink it will be to-day, neighbor ? The other, after two or three hasty puffs, | replies : “Well, I don’t know ; what sort of wed- der you tink it will be” The first somewhat netted : “] tink it will be such wedder as you tink it will be.” The cther acquiescingly : “ Welljl tink so too.” PRINTERS.

The House of Representatives having at length been organized (after many days of ineffectual efforts) by the election of a Speaker, the President of the Uni- ted States yesterday transmitted to both Houses of Congress, by Col. W. W. Bliss, { ) kind, at 14 cents per pound, nett, when 2 | his Private Secretary, the following Mes- cents have been got just as readily, had sage :—WNat. Int. Fellow. Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives : Sixty years have elapsed since the es- tablisbment of this Government, and the Congress of the United States again as- sembles to legislate for an empire of free- men. The predictions of evil prophets, who formerly pretended to foretell the downfall of our institutions, are now re- membered only to be derided, and the United States of America at this moment present to the world the most stable and permanent Government on earth. Such is the result of the labors of thase | who have gone before us. Upon Con- gress will eminently depend the future maintenance of our system of free gov- ernment, and the transmission of it, un- impaired, to posterity. We are at peace with all nations of the world, and seek to maintain our cher- ished relations of amity withthem. Du- ring the past year we have been blessed, by a kind Providence, with an abundance of the fruits of the earth ; and, although the destroying angel, for a time, visited extensive portions of our territory with the ravages of a dreadful pestilence, yet the Almighty has at length deigned to stay his hand, and to restore the inestima- ble blessing of general health to a people who have acknowledged his power, de- precated his wrath, and implored his mer- ciful protection. While enjoying the benefits of amica- ble intercourse with foreign nations, we have not been insensible to the distrac- tions and wars which have prevailed in other quarters of the world. It is a pro- per theme of thanksgiving to Him who rules the destities of nations, that we have been able to maintain, amidst all these contests, an independent and neutral po- sition towards all belligerent Powers. Our relations with Great Britain are of the most friendly character. In cens:- quence of the recent alteration of the British navigation acts, British vessels, from British and other foreign ports, will, (under our existing laws.) after the first day of January next, be admitted to entry in our ports, with cargoes of the growth, manufacture, or production of any part of the world, on the same terms, as to the duties, imposts, and charges, as vessels of ‘the United States with their cargoes: and our vessels will be admitted to the same | advantages in British ports, entering there- The editor of the New Hamshire Pat-! in on the same terms as British vessels. | riot says that when he thinks of the doings Should no order in council disturb this | of the present Administration he is con- | legislative arrangement, the late act of strained to bold his nose. | the British Parliament, by which Great a bandon it. You will perceive, from the correspondence submitted io you, in con- nexion with this subject, that the course adopted in this case has been properly re- garded by the belligerent Powers inter- ested in the matter. Although a Minister of the U. States to the German Empire was appointed by my predecessor in August, 1848, and has for a long time been in attendance at Frank- fort-on-the-Main, and although a Minister appointed to represent that Empire was received and accredited here, yet no such Government as that of the German Em- pire has been definitely constituted. Mr. Donelson, our representative at Frankfort, remained there several months, in the expectation that a union of the German States, under one constitution or form of government, might at length be organiz- ed. It is believed, by those well acquain- ted with the existing relations between Prussia and the States of Germany, that no such union can be permanently estab- lished without her co-operation. In the event of the formation of such a union, and the organization of a central power in Germany, of which she would form a part, it would become necessary to with- draw our Minister at Berlin; bat while Prussia exists as anindependent kingdom, and diplomatic relations are maintained with her, there can be no necessity for the continuance of the mission to Frank- fort. I have therefore, recalled Mr. Don- elson, and directed the archives of the le- gation, at Frankfort. to be transferred to the American legation at Berlin. able number of adventurers were engag- ed in fitting out a military expedition, within the United States, against a foreign country, and believing, from ‘the best in- formation I could obtain, that it was des- | tined to invade the island of Cuba, I deem- ed it due to the friendly relations existing between the United States and Spain ; to the treaty between the two nations; to the laws of the United States, and above all to the American honor, to exert the lawful authority of this Government in suppressing the expedition and preventing the invasion. To this end, i issued a proclamation, enjoining it upen the oflicers of the United States, civil and military, to use all lawful means within their pow- er. A copy of that proclamation, is here- with submitted. The expedition has been suppressed So long as the act of Congress existance to the law of nations and to the policy of Washington himself,shall remain on our statute book, | bold it to be the duty of the Executive faithfaliy to obey its in- junctions. While this expedition was in progress, I was informed that a foreigner, who | | claimed our protection, had been clandes- | | tinely, and as we supposed, forcibly, car- | ‘ried off ina vessel from New Orleans to the Island of Cuba. I immediately caus- ed such steps to be taken as I thought nec- Having been apprized that a consider- | of the 20th of April, 1818, which owes its essary, in case the information I had re- | ceived should prove correct, to vindicate | amicable relations. During the recent revolut States our Charge d’Affairs at Rome has been indeed, he was directed by my ‘to withhold until he should receive turther orders. Such was the unsettled condition of things in- those States that it was not deemed expedient to give him any instructions on the subject of presenting bis credeatial letter different from _ those with which he had been furnished by the late Administration until the 25th of June lest ; when, in consequence of the want of accurate information of the exact state of things at that distance from us, he was instructed to exercise his own discretion in presenting himself to the then existing Government, if in his judgment sufficiently stable; or, if not, to await furthee events. Since _that period Kome bas uader- gone another revolution, and he abides the es- tablishment of a Government sufficiently per- manent to justify him in opening diplomatic in- tercourse with it. With the Republic of Mexico, it is our true: policy to cultivate the most friendly relations. Since the ratification of the treaty of Guada- lupe Hidalgo, nothing has occurred of a serious character to disturb them. A faithful observ. ance of the treaty, and a sincere respect for her rights, cannot fail to secure the lasting confi- dence and friendship of that republic. The message of my predecessor to the House of Representatives, of the 8th of February last, communicating. in compliance with a resolu- tion of that body, a copy of a paper called a Protocol, signed at Queretaro on the 30th of May, 1848, by the Commissioners of the Uni- ted States and the Minister of Foreiga Affairs of the Mexican Government, having been a sub- ject of correspondence between the Depart- ment of State and the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of tbat republie | accredited to this Government, a transcript of ' correspondence is herewith submitted. The Commissioner on the part of the Uni- ted States for making the boundary between _the two republics, though the delay in reach- ' ing San Diego by unforeseen obstacles, ar- _rived at that place within a short period after | the time required by the treaty, was there join. ed by the Commissioner on the part of Mexico. They entered upon their duties: and, at the date of the latest inteiligence from that quarter, | some progress had been made in the eurvey. | The expenses incident to the organization of the commission, and to its conveyance to the | point where its operations were to begin, have | so much reduced the fund eppropriated by Con. gress that a further sum, to cover the charges which must be incurred during the present fis. ical year, willbe necessary. The great length _ of frontier along which the boundary exteads,the nature of the adjacent territory, and the diffi. | culty of obtaining supplies, except at or near the extremes of ‘the line, render it also indie- | pensable that a liberal provision should be ' made to meet the necessary charges during the | fiscal year ending on the 30th of June, 1851. '} accerdingly recommend this subject to your | attencion. [a the ad:ustment of the claims of American citizens on Mexico, provided for by the late | treaty, the employment of counsel, on tbe part | of the Government, may become important for | the purpose of assisting the Commissioners in | protecting the interests of the United States.— I recommend this suvject to the early consider- | atton of Congress. | Complaints have been made in regard to the _ inefficiency of the means provided by the Go- vernment of New Grenada for transporting the United States mail across the Isthaus of Pana- | ma, pursuant to our Postal Convention with that Republic, of the 6th of March, 1844.

Any alteration of the laws which might have a tendency to impede the free transfer of proper- ty in vessels between our cilizens, or the free navigation of those vessels between different parts of the world, when employed in lawful commerce, should be well and cautiously eon- sidered ; bat I trust that your wisdom will de- vise a method by which our general policy, in this respect, may be preserved, and at the same time the abuse of our flag, by means of sea- letters, in the manner indicated, may be pre- vented. Having ascertained ‘hat there is no prospect of the reunion of the five States of Central America, which formerly composed the repub- lie of that name, we have separately negotiat- ed with some of them treaties of amity and commerce, which will be laid before the Sen- ate. A contract having been concluded with the State of Nicaragua, by a company composed of Ameriean citizens, for the purpose of construct. ing a ship canal through the territory of that State, to connect the Atlantic and Pacific o- ceans, I have directed the negotiation of treaty with Nicaragua, pledging both Governments to ect those who shall engage in and perfect the work. All other nations are invited by the State of Nicaragua to enter into the same treaty stipulations with her; and the benefit to be de- rived by each from such an arrangement will be the protection of this great inter-oceanic com- munication against any Power which might seek to obstruct it, or to monopolize its advan- All the States entering into such a trea- ty will enjoy the right of passage through the canal] on payment of the same tolls. The work, if constructed under these guar- anties, will become a bond of peace instead of a subject of contention and strife between the nations of the earth. Should the great mari- time States of Europe consent to this arrange- ment, (and we have no reason to suppose that a proposition so fair and honorable will be oppos- ed by any,) the energies of their people and ours will co-operate.in promoting the success of the enterprise. I do not recommend any appropri- ation from the National Treasury for this pur- pose, nor do I believe that such an appropri- ation is necessary. Private enterprise, if pro. rly protected, will complete the work, should it prove to be feasible. The parties who have procured the charter from Nicaragua, for its construction, desire no assistance from this Go- vernment beyond its protection: and they pro- fess that, having examined the proposed line of communication, they will be ready to commence the undertaking whenever that protection shall be extended to them. Should there appear to be reason, on examining the whole evidence, to entertain a serious doubt of the practicability of cosstructing such a canal, that doubt could be speedily seed by an actual exploration of the route. Should such a work be constructed, under the common protection of all nations, for equal benefits to all, it would be neither just nor ex- pedient that any great maritime State should command the communication. The territory through which the canal may be opened ought to be freed from the claims of any foreign Pow. er. No such Power should occupy a position that would enable it hereafter to exercise so controlling an influence over the commerce of the world, or to obstruct a highway which ought to be dedicased to the common uses of man- kind. The routes across the Isthmus, at Tehuante. pec and Panama, are also worthy of our wor- thy of our serious consideration. ‘They did not failgo engage the attention of my predecessor. The negotiator of the treaty of Gaudalupe Hi. dalgo was instructed to offer a very large sum of money for the right of transit across the Iethmus of Tehuantepec. The Mexican Go. vernment did not accede to the proposition for the purchase of the right of way, probably be. cause it had already contracted with private individuals for the construction of a passage from the Guasacualco river to Tehuantepec. | shall not renew any proposition to purchase, for money, a right which ought to be equally secured to ali nations, on payment of a reason. able toll to the owners of the improvement. who would, doubtless, be well contented with that compensation and the guaranties of the mari- time States of the world, in separate treaties negotiated with Mexico, binding her and them to protect those who should construct the work. Such guaranties would do more to secure the completion of the communication through the territory of Mexico than any other reasonable consideration that could be offered; and as Mexico herself would be the greatest gainer by the opening of this communication between the Gulf and the Pacific ocean, it is presumed that she would not hesitate to yield her aid, in the manages proposed, to accomplish an improve. ment so ant to her own best interests. We have reason to hope that the proposed rai‘road across the Isthmus at Panama will be successfully constructed, under the protection of the late treaty with New Grenada, ratified and etchanged by my predecessor on the 10th day of June, 1848, which guaranties the per. fect neutrality of the Isthmus, and the rights of sovereignty and property of the New Grenada over that territory, “ with a view that the free transit from o¢ean to ocean may not be inter. rupted or embarrassed” during the existence of the treaty. It is our policy to encourage every practicable route across the Isthmus, which connects North and South America, either by railroad or canal, which the energy and enter- prise of our citizens may induce them to com- plete ; end I consider it obligatory upon me to adopt that policy, especially in consequence of the absolute necessity of facilitating inter- course with our possessions on the Pacific. The position of the Sandwich Islands, with reference to the territory of the United States ‘on the Pacific ; the success of our persevering and benevoleat citizens who have repaired to remote quarter in christianizing the natives and inducing them to adopt a system of government and laws suited to their capacity and wanis; and the use made by our numerous whale-shi of the harbors of the islands as places of re. soit for obtaining refreshments and repairs, all combine to aa Ae their destiny peculiarly in- teresting !o us. It is our duty to encourage the authorities of those islands in their efforts 1@ improte and elevate the mora! and political > . « condition of the inhabitente; and we should | ations sentiment. We ce 19 e¥ent, be indi ferent to their passing under the dominion of any other Power. The principal commercial States have in this a common jnterest, and It is to be hoped that no one of then will attempt to interpose obstacles to their independence of the islands. The receipts into the Treasury for the fiscal year ending on the thirtieth of June last were, in cash, forty-eight millions eight hundred and cents, ($48,830.097 50,) and in Treasury notes + funded, ten millions eight hundred and thirty three thousand dollars, (10,833,000,) making an aggregate of fifty nine millions six hundred and sixty three thousand ninety seven dollars and fifty cents, ($59,663,097 50 ;) and the ex- penditures for the same time were, in cash, forty six millions seven hundred and ninety- eight thousand six hundred and sixty seven do!- lars and eighty two cents, ($46,798,667 82.) and in Treasury notes funded, ten millions eight hundred and thirty three thousand dollars, $10,- 833,000,) making an aggregate of fifty seven millions six hundred and thirty one thousand. six hundred and sixty seven dollars and eighty two cents, ($57,631,667 82.) The accounts and estimates which will be submitted to Congress in the report of the Se- cretary of the Treasury, ehow that there will probably be a deficit, occasioned by the ex. penses of the Mexican war and treaty, on the first day of July next, of five millions eight hundred and twenty eight thoueand one hundred and twenty one dollars and sixty six cents, $5,- 828,121 66,) and on the first day of July, 1851, of ten millions five hundred and forty seven thousand and ninety two dollars and seventy three cents, ($10,547,092 73,) making in the whole a probable deficit, to be provided for, of sixteen millions three hundred and seventy five thousand two hundred and fourteen dollars and thirty nine cents, $16,375,217 39.) The ex- traordinary expenses of the war with Mexico, and the purchase of California and New Mex. ico, exceed in amount this deficit, together with the loans heretofore made for those objects. I therefore recommend that authority be given to borrow whatever sum may be necessary to co. ver that deficit. I recommend the observance of strict economy in the appropriatoin and ex- penditure of the public money. I recommend a revision of the existing ta- riff and its adjustment on the basis which may augment the revenue. I do not doubt the right or duty of Congress to encourage domestic in- dustry, which is the great source of national as well as individual wealth and prosperity. I look to the wisdom and patriotism of Congress | for the adoption of a system which may place home labor at last on a sure and permanent footing, and, hy due encouragement of manu. factures, give a new and increased stimulus to agriculture, and promote the development of our vast resources and the extension of our commerce. Believing that to the attainment of these ends (as well as the necessary aug- mentation of the revenue and the prevention of frauds) a system of specific duties is best a- dapted, I strongly recommend to Congress the adoption of that system, fixing the duties at rates high enough to afford substantial and suf. cient encouragement to our own industry, and, ae same time, so adjusted as to ensure sta- ility. The question of the continuance of the Sub. treasury system is respectfully submitted to the wisdom of Congress. If continued, important modifications of it appear to be indispensable. For further details and views of the above, and other matters connected with commerce, the finances, and revenue, I refer to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury. No direct aid has been given by the Gener. al Government to the improvement of agricul. ture, except by the expenditure of small sums for the collection and publication of agricul- tural statistics, and for some chemical analysis, which have been, thus far, paid for out of the patent fund. This aid is, in my opinion, whol- ly inadequate. To give to this leading branch of American industry the encouragement which its merits, I respectfully recommend the estab. lishment of an Agricultural Bureau, to be con. nected with the Department of the Interior.— To elevate the social condition of the agricul. turist, to increase his prosperity, and to extend his means of usefulness to his country, by mul. liplying bis sources of information, should be the study of every statesman, and a primary object with every legislator. No civil government having been provided by Congress for California, the people of that Territory, impelled by the necessities of their political condition, recently met in Convention, for the purpose of forming a constitution and State government, which the latest advices give me reason to suppose has been accom- plished; and it is believed they will shortly apply for the admission of California into the Union as a sovereign State. Should such be the case, and should their constitution be con- formable to the requisitions of the Constitution of the United States, I recommend their appli- cation tothe favorable consideration of Con- “gress. The people of New Mexico will also, it: is believed, at no very distant period present themselves for admission into the Union. Pre. paratory to the admission of California and New Mexico, the people of each will have in. stituted for themselves a republican form of | government, “laying its foundations in such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to ef- ect their safety and happiness.” _ By awaiting their action, all causes of unea- siness may be avoided, and confidence and kind | feeling preserved. With a view of maintaio- ing barmony and tranquility eo dear to all, we should abstain from the introduction of those exciting topics of a sectional character which have hitherto produced painful apprehensions in the public mind; and I repeat the solemn warning of the first and most illustrious of my predecessors against furnishing “ any ground for characterizing parties by geographical dis- criminations.” A Collector has been appointed at San Fran- ciseo, under the act of Congress extending the | revenue laws over California ; and measures | have heen taken to organize the custom.hous- es at that and the other ports mentioned in that act, at the earliest period practicable.— The Collector proceeded overland, and advices have not yet been received of his arrival at San Francisco. Meanwhile, it is understood Ps | that the customs have continaed to be collect. ed there by officers acting under the mili authority, as they were during the tinal tion of my ssor. ht will, I think, be expedient to confirm the collections thus made, red direct the avails (after such allowances as rese may think fit to authorize) to ‘beer. Within the Territory, or ta be peld in- di thirty thousand ninety seven dollars and fifty | | have enjoyed its benefits. ding to the latest advices, they had not left’ California ; and directions bave been given to them, as soon as they shall have fixed on the to. be constructed and placed in ‘te. pro- of the most important points on the coast of California, and especially to examine and de- termine:on sites for, light-houses on that coast, the ‘speedy erection of which is urgently de: manded. by our rapidly increasing commerce. I have transferred the Indian Agencies from Upper Missouri and Council Bluffs to Santa Fe and Salt Lake, and have caused to be ap- pointed sub-agents ia the valleys of Gila, the Secramenio, and San Joaquin rivers. Still further legal provisions will be necessary for the effective and successful extension of our system of Indian intercourse over the new Ter. ritories. I recommend the establishment of a branch mint in California, as it will, in my opinion, af- mining, as well as to the Government in the disposition of the mineral lands. I also recommend that commissions be or- ganized by Congress to examine and decide the validity of the present subsisting land titles in California and New Mexico; and that pro- vision be made for the establishment of officers of- Surveyor General in New Mexico, Califor. nia, and Oregon, and for the surveying and bringing into market the public lands in those territories. Those lands, remote in position and difficult of access. ought to be disposed of on terms liberal to all, but especially favorable to the early emigrants. . In order that the -situation and character of the principal mineral deposites in California may be ascertained, I recommend that a geo. logical and mineralogicai exploration be con- nected with the linear surveys, and that the mineral lots suitable for mining, and be dis- posed of, by sale or lease, so as to give our citi- zens an opportunity of procuring a permanent right of property inthe soil. This would seem to be as important to the success of mining as of agricultura) pursuits. The great mineral wealth of California, and the advantages which its ports and harbors and those of Oregon afford to commerce, especially with the islands of the Pacific and Indian oceans and the populous regions of Eastern Asia, make it certain that there will arise in a few years large and prosperous communities on our wes- tern coast. It therefore becomes important that a line of communication, the best and most expeditious which the nature of the coun- try will admit, should be opened within the ter. ritory of the United States, from the navigable waters of the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific. Opinion, as elicited and expressed by two large and respectable. Conventions; lately assembled at St. Louis and Mempbis, points to arailroad as that which, it practicable, will best meet the wishes and wants of the country. But while this, if in successful ope- ration, would be a work of great national im- portance. and of a value to the country which it would be difficult to estimate, it ought also to be regarded as an undertaking of vast mag. nitude and expense, and one which must, if it be indeed practicable, encounter many diffical- ties in its construction and use. Therefore, to avoid failure and disappointment ; to enable Congress to judge whether, in the condition of the country through which it must pass, the work be feasible ; and, if it be found so, wheth. er, it should be undertaken as a national im. provement or left to individual enterprise ; and, in the latter alternative, what aid, if any, ought to be extended to it by the Government, I re. commend, as a preliminary measure, a careful reconnoissance of the several proposed routes by a scientific corps, and a report as to the practicability of making such a road, with an estimate of the cost of its construction and sup- port. For further views on these and other matters connectted with the duties of the Home Depart. ment, I refer you to the report of the Secretary of the Interior. I recommend early appropriarions for con- tinuing the river and harbor improvements which have been already begun, and also for the construction of those for which estimates have been made, as well as for examinations and estimate preparatory to the country, and especially the advance of our population over new districts, and the extension of commerce may render necessary. An estimate of the amount which can be anvantageously expended within the next fiscal year, under the direction of the Bureau of Topographical Engineers, ac- companies the repost of the Secretary of War, to which I respectfully invite the attention of Congress. The cession of territory made by the late treaty with Mexico has recently extended our exposed froutier, and rendered its defence more difficult. That treaty has also brought us un. der obligations to Mexico, to comply with which a military force is requisite. But our military establishment is not materially changed, as to ites efficiency, from the condition in which it stood before the commencement of the Mexi- can war. Some addition to it will therefore be necessary; and I recommend to the favorghle consideration of Congress an increase of the several corps of the army at our distant wes. tern posts, as proposed in the accompanying re- port of the-Secretary of War. _Great embarrassment has resulted from the effect upon rank, in the army, heretofore given to brevet and staff commissions. ‘The views of the Secretary of War on this subject are deem. ed important, and if carried into effect will, it is believed, promote the harmony of the service. The plan proposed for retiring disabled offi. cers, and providing an assylum for such of the infirmities oceasioned by service, have become unfit to perform the respective duties, is recom. mended as a means of increasing the efficien- cy of the army, and as ap set of justice due trom a grateful country to the faithful soldier.

' Exertions have been made to execute that law ; but the limited provisions of the act, the inadequacy of the means it authorizes, the ill adoption of our post office laws to the situa. tion of that country, and the measure of com. | pensation for services allowed by those laws compared with the prices of labor and rente in California, render those exertions, in a great degree, ineffectual. More particular and effi- cient provision hy law is required on this sub- ject. The act of 1845, reducing postage, bas now by its operation during four years, produced re- sults fully showing that the income from such reduced postage is sufficient to sustain the whole expense of the service of the Post Office Department, not including the cost of transpor- tation in mail steamers on the bines from New York to Chagres, and from Panama to Astoria which have not been considered by Congress as properly belonging to the mail service. It is submitted to the wisdom of Congress whether a further reduction of postaye should not now be made, more particularly on the let- ter correspondence. This should be relieved from the unjust. burden of transporting and de- livering the franked matter of Congress, for which public service provision should be made from the Treasury. I confidently believe that a charge may safely be made, reducing all sin- gie-letter postage to the uniform rate of five cts. regardless.of distance, without thereby impos. ing any greater tax onthe Treasury than would constitute a very moderate compensation for this public service ; and I therefore respectful- ly recommend such a reduction. Should Con. gress prefer to abolish the franking privilege entirely, it seems probable that no demand on the treasury would result from the proposed re- duction of postage. Whether any further di- minution should now be made, or the result of the reduction to five cents, which I have re- commended, be first tested, is submitted to your decision. Since the commencement of the last session of Congress, a postal treaty with Great Britain has been received and ratified, and such regu- lations have been formed by the Post Office Departments of the two countries, in pursuance of that treaty, as to carry its provisions into full operation. The attempt to extend this same arrangement, through England, to France, has not been equally successful ; but the purpose has been abandoned. For a particular statement of the condition of the Post Office Department, and other matters -connected with that branch of the public service I refer you tothe report of the Post Master General. By the act of 3d March, 1849, a Board was constituted to make arrangements for taking the seventh census, composed of the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Post Mastar General; and it was made the duty of this Board “to prepare and cause to be printed such forms and schedules as might be necessa. ry for the full enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States; and also proper forms and schedules tor collecting, in statistical tables unde: proper heads, such information as to mines, agriculture, commerce, manufactures, education, and other topics, as would exhibit a full view of the pursuits, industry, education, and resources of the country.” The duties en. joined upon the Census Board thus established having been performed, now rests with Con- gress to enact a law for carrying in effect the provision of the Constitution which requires an actual enumeration of the people of the United States within the ensuing year. Among the duties assigned by the Constitu- tion to the General Government is one of lo- cal and limited application, but not on that ac- count the less obligatory ; 1 allude to the trust committed to Congress, as the exclusive legis. lator and sole guardian of the interests of the District of Columbia. I beg to commend these interests to your kind attention. As the Na- tiona] Metropolis the city of Washington must be an object of general interest ; and, founded as it was under auspices of him whose immor- tal name it bears, ite claims to the fostering care of Congress present themselves with ad. ditional strength. Whatever can contribute to its prosperity must enlist the feelings of its constitutional guardians, and command their favorable consideration. Our Government is one of limited powers, and its successful administration eminently de- pende on the confinement of each of its co-or- dinate branches within its own appropriate sphere. The first section of the Constitution ordains that “all legislative powers therein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” The Execu- tive has authority to recommend (not to dictate) measures to Congress. Having performed that duty, the Executive department of the Govern- ment cannot rightfully control the decision of Congress on any subject of legislation, until that decision shall have been officially submit- ted to the President for approval. ‘The check provided by the Constitution, in the clause con- ferring.the qualified veto, will never be exer- cised by me, except in the cases contemplated by the fathers of the Republic. I view it as an extreme measure, to be resorted to only in necessary to defend the Executive against the encroachments of the legislative power, or to prevent hasty and inconsiderate or unconstitu- B ‘ fining thi ae y cautiously confining this the cote sphere to it in expositions of the framers of the Constitution, the will of the people, le. gitimately expressed on all subjects of legisla. tion, through their constitutional organs, the Senators and Representatives of the United States, will have its full effect. As indispen. sable to the preservation of our system of self. government, the independence of the Repre. sentatives of the States and the People is guar- antied by the Constitution; and they owe no responsibility to any human power but their constituents. ~ By holding the Representative responsible only to the People and exempting him from all other influences, quickens his sense of responsibility to hiscoontry.

For more than half a coolers, du- ring which kiagdoms and empires have fallen, this Union has stood unshaken.. The patriots who formed it have long since descended to the grave ; yet still it remains, the proudest monu- ment to their memory, and the object of affec- tion and admiration with every one worthy to bear the American name. In my judgement, its dissolution would be the greatest of calami- ties, and to avert that should be the study of every American. Upon its preservation must depend our own happiness and that of countless generations to come. Whatever dangers may threaten it, I shall stand by itand maintain it in its integrity, to the full extent of the obliga. tions imposed, and the power conferred upon me by the Constitution. Z. TAYLOR. Wasuinoton, December 4th, 1849. THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. Salisbary. N.C. THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1856. RAIL ROAD CONVENTION. We trust the friends of the Rail Road enterprise will not forget that next Satar- day is the day appointed for the holding of a Convention in this County. The meeting will take place at the Court House in this Town. The object of it is to raise the remainder of subscriptions ne- cessary to ensure the success of the work. Rowan has done well so far: has shown that she is not indifferent on the subject ; but on the contrary, that she regards the enterprise as one of great importance in the various aspects in which it may be viewed. But these remains yet much to do, and we know there is a strong con- viction that we should domore. All those who have taken stock are satisfied on this point: They have, many of them, done all they can with safety. They want those neighbors and citizens who have all along stood aloof now to come forward and help. Willtheydoso? We feel as- sured that they will. They are, many of them, well convinced of the necessity of the improvement: they feel the want of it almost every day of their lives, and are destined constantly to suffer inconven- ience and heavy losses until it shall be made. Now is a most auspicious time to push it forward: and if those concerned shall neglect to improve the present op- portunity they will regret it for many a yeartocome. Now is the day and now is the hour. Come to the Convention.— There will be many people here it is hop- ed—several distinguished gentlemen from |’ abroad, and able addresses may be ex- pected. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. We rejoice to have it in our power to present to our readers the Message of President Taylor, to the two houses of Congress now in session. It will be found to be a very plain statement of facts —nothing more. Like his despatches, while commanding our army in Mexico, Gen. Taylor tells what he has to tell and stops when he has done; and there is no attempt at grand rhetorical flourishes.— His style of writing, while in Mexico, was universally admired and praised, both by Whigs and Democrats. The same sim- ple, straight forward style is discoverable throughout the Message. And yet, while this is so, the democratic papers are teem- ing with criticisms,—as unjust as they are ill-natored. But all this amounts to nothing except so far ag it shows that the democratic party want to get into power again. The people of the Country will find in the Message sufficient evidence to satisfy them that the capacity of their President is equal to the task they have imposed upon him; and that while they have such a man at the head of the Gov- ernment there is no need, so far as he is concerned, to fear for the safety of the Republic. President Taylor here shows the practical turn of his mind; and the warmth with which he allades to the Un- ton and its preservation, will find a prompt response in the heart of every true friend of the Country. Melancholy Death.—We \earn from a gentleman who was in the neighborhood at the time, that Mr. Jobn Caldwell, a citizen of Mecklenburg county, near Bea- tie’s Ford, was found dead in the woods near his residence on the night of the 19th ultimo. It is sapposed that his death was caused by the rgpture of a blood vessel. He had been an invalid with some breast complaint for years before. SPEAKER ELECTED.

We see no good reason why our mer. chants do not oftner ship direct to Liver. pool, Havre and other European Markets Our staples, Rice, Lumber Naval Stores &c.,are all articles of European demand. The expenses of transhipment at Ne York and Boston, including unloading, re. loading, commissions, port charges, double insurance, &c., must greatly diminish the rofits of a cargo; whilst on the other baad we cannot perceive ene single ai. vantage, except quicker returns of cost of cargo. Itis gratifying to perceive a ¢ cided growth in this branch of the tom merce of Wilmington, and as capital in creases here, it must continue to grow. Generally, the commerce of Wilming ton is ina very flourishing condition.

The. exaggeration and invention, there is one un- doubted circumstance which formerly excited the worst apprehensions ; the fact that bodies were often found turned in their coffins and the grave-clothes disarranged. But what was ascribed, with seeming reason, to the throes of vitality, isnow known to be due to the agency of corruption. A gas is developed in the de. cayed body which mimics Ly its mechanical force, many of the movements of life. So pow. erful is this gas in corpses that have lain long ‘to the Morgue at Paris, and the author of a | text book on legal medicine, says: that unless | secured to the table, they are often heaved up ‘and thrown to the ground. Frequently, stran- ' gers seeing the motion of the limbs, run to the | keeper of the Morgue, and announce with hor. | ror that a person is alive. All bodies, sooner | or later, generate gas in the grave; and it con- | stantly twists about the corpse, blows out the skin till it rends with distention, and sometimes _ bursts the coffin itself. When the gas explodes | with a noise, imagination has converted it into an outcry or groan; the grave has been re. opened ; the position of the body confirmed the _ Suspicion and the laceration been taken for ev, idence that the wretch had gnawed his flesh in the frenzy of despair.

Emigrant Ofice.—A man from the country, we believe a French- man by birth, entered the emigrant office, in _the Park, this forenoon, in search of a girl to assist him in his business. He said he had land, cows, and other affairs connected with farming, and he wished some one to assist him. He selected a young woman who had just arrived, and come to the office to obtain pecu- niary assistance. She hesitated to go with him, but finally be said, “ I tell you what I will do with you; I will marry you.” The bar. gain was then quickly concluded. Alderman James Kelly was sent for, but not arriving in season, Justice Bleakly came in, and fastened the connubial knot.

GROUND PEAS. Wilmington has long been famous for iis trade in this article, This isthe sea- son for delivery, and for the last month, our. streets have been thronged with ca filled with them. Upon inquiring, we leatn that the quantity received here annually is about Fifty Thousand bushels. The price varies from 85 to 95 cents per bush- el. Itis therefore no small article in the aggregate of our commerce. These peas are produced in the light! sandy soils near the sea. The product per acre varies from 30 to 60 bushels.— We suppose the profitable productoin io depend upon some peculiarity in the soil or atmosphere, probably the latter. The soils which produce them here to advan- tage, are comparatively worthless in the production of corn or cotton; and we have known the experiment tried on quite a large scale in Pitt County without success, on land almost precisely similar in ap- | pearance, to that cultivated in this section. | Wilmington Aurora. Independence of Principle.—Lord Ers- kine was distinguished through life for in- dependence of principle, for scrupulous adherence to trath. He once explained the rules of his conduct, which ought to _be deeply engraven on every heart. He said: “It was a first command and coun- _sel of my earliest youth always todo what my conscience told me to be a duty, and leave the consequence to God. I shall carry with me the memory, and I trust _ the practice, of this parental lesson, to the ‘grave. I hitherto followed it, and] have no reason to complain that my obedience to it has been a temporal sacrifice. I have found it, on the contrary, the road to prosperity and wealth, and I shall point | out the same path to my children.” | The wife of a German citizen of Roch- ester became the mother a few days since of three boys at a birth. About a year ago she had in like manner three boys at | a birth. The whole six are alive and do- ing well.

The dying charge of the late Alfred Bishop, of Bridgeport, to his son, was— “ Serve God and your country, and be be- nevolent.” The substance of many essays is embraced in this short sentence. Woman's Love.—“Oh, how cruel to value love as a piece of common merchan- dise. It is the only thing upon this roun- ded globe that suffers no purchaser but itself. Love is the equivalent of love; the invaluable jewel that must either be freely given, or, forever unenjoyed, be buried.” —Schiller. Nothing sets so wide a mark between a vulgar and a noble soul, as the respect and reverential love womankind. A man who is always sneering at woman, is gen- erally either a coarse profligate or a coars- er bigot.

March 12, 1847—tf45 BEAUTIFUL white hickory Buggies ; also, 2 ex- | and powerful plants, the virtues of which, long known to several Indian tribes, and to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto- gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science ; and were never before adminis- tered in so happily efficacious a combination. The first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudities constantly settling round them; and to remove the hardened feces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medi- eines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind to produce habitual Costive- bess, with all its train of evils, or sadden Diarrhea with its imminent dangers. This fact is sell known to all regular anetomists who examine the human bowels after death ; and hence the preju- dice of these well-informed men against the quack medicines of the age. The second effect of the LIFE MEDICINES * to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder ; and, by this means, the liver and lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color ‘rom the agency of the liver and lungs, before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, - courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and saree aeropt mounts the bauner of health in the blooming cheek. The following are among the distressing variet of human diseases in which the ET. LIFE MEDICINES are wel! knowu to be infal- lible : DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating a flow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind ; FLATULENCY, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn, Headache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor, and Melancholy, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vauish, as a natural consequence of its cure. Costiveness, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without violence: aH violeut purges leave the bowels costive within ay days. Cho Diarrhea and lera, by removing the suarp acrid fluids by which thees sins are occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative seere- tion of the mucous membrane. Fevers of all kinds. by restoring the blood to a regulur circulation, through the process of perspi ration in such cases, and the thorough solution ot all intestinal obstruction in others. The Lire Meovicines have been known te cure RHEUMATISM permanently in three weeks, and GOUT in hulf that time, by removing local inflammation from the mwscles and ligaments of the Joints. Dropsies of all kinds, by freeing and strength- ening the kidneys and bladder: they operate most delightfully on these important organs, end hence have ever been found a certain remedy ‘or the worst cases of GRAVEL. Also Wo! by dislodging from the turnings of the bowels the slimy matter to which these creatures adhere. and j by relieving the air- vessels of the lungs from the mucous which even slight colds will occasion, and which, if not re- moved, becomes hardened, and produces these dreadful diseases. Scurvy, Ulcers, 2»d Inveterate by the perfect purity which these LIFE I- give to the blood, and all the humors. _ Scorbutie Eruptions end Bad Complex: lions, by their alterative effect upon the fluids that feed the skin, and the morbid state of which ocea- sions all eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy, and other disagreeable complexions. The use of these Pills for a very short time will effect an entire cure of SALT RHEUM, anda striking improvement in the clearness of the skin. COMMON COLDS and INFLUENZA will always be cured by one dose, or by two even in the worst cases. * PILES. Asaremedy for this most distressing and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES deserve a distinct and emphatic recommendation. It is well known to hundreds in this city, that the former pfoprietor of these valu- able Medicines was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwards of THIRTY-FIVE YEARS ; and that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of the Materia Medica. He however at length tried the Medicine which is now offered to the public, and he was cured iv a very short time, after his recovery had been pro- nounced not only improbable, but absolutely im- possible, by any human means. FEVER AND AGUE. For this scourge of the western country tlcse Medicines will be found a safe, speedy, and certaia remedy. Other medicines leave the system sub- ject to areturn of the disease—a cure by theese medicines is permanent—TRY THEM, BE SA- TISFIED, AND BE CURED. Bilfous Fevers and Liver Complaints. General Debility, Loss or Arretite, aso Diseaces or Femaces—these medicines have been used with the most beneficial results in cuses of this description :—Kine’s Evit, and Scrorvra, in its worst forms, yields to the mild yet powerful action of these remarkable Medicines. Niaut Sweats, Nervous Desiuity, Neavous Compvaints of all kinds, Pavrrration of tHe Heart, Painter's Cotic, are speedily cured. MERCURIAL DISEASES, Persons whose constitutions have become im- paired by the injudicious use of Mercury, will find these Medicines a perfect cure, as they never fail to eradicate from the system all the effects of Mercury infinitely sooner than the most powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla. A single trial wil! place them beyond the reach of competition, in the estimation of every patient. BE CAREFUL OF COUNTERFEITS.

ABSTRACT OF THE REPORTS - From the several Departments, REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. Next to the President's Message, this document is always looked for with the greatest degree of interest. The Report shows the true cause of the extraordinary expenditures of the few years past and these details are so closely condensed as_ to make a bricler statement of the actual condition of the Treasury quite impossi- ble. Authority is asked to raise a sum not excecding $16,500,000, as may be found necessary, from time to time, by the issue of stock or treasury notes, on such terms of interest (not exceeding six per cent..) and repayment, as the President in his discretion shall, previous to their being issued, think fit to order. The argument upon the tariff is lucid and pointed both as to the powers and duties Of Congress. The question of im- posing duties is discussed as a National question, and the good of the people asa whole is urged. ‘The cause of American jabor, the subject of the relation of labor to capital, the intimate relations between growing cotton, manufacturing cotton and its consumption, and all this again is iden- titied Wila Commerce, as the machinery of exchange, is admirably put. Upon each of the three questions of oapital, labor and inarkets, there are sen- timents which will find concurrence we think in tue minds of political econimists and especially with those who study the true Well-being of the laborer. eStability in legislation is also urged as amatter of deep necessity, and it is right- fwly asked that this stability shal! begin whh a due encouragement to industry. The rates of duties are declared to be too ow, and the revenue as well as the people have suffered thereby. Specific duties are urged,—ad_ valo- rms working disadvantageously to the revenue and to production. Read the Report and you will see the reason of this. There are four conclusive arguments giv- en for the modification of the Tariff, and each founded upon the unfavorable opin. ' ion of the law as it is. Home valuation is urged, as much more just and equita- ble than a reliance upon foreign invoices. The Secretary thus states the nature of the modilications which it appears expe- dient to make in the existing tariff: “The rates of the duty are, in my opin- , tov OW, especially on articles similar tples.

Mr. Bradbury introduced a resoldtfon, which he desired might Jay over until afier the holi- days: that the President be requested to canse to be laid before the Senate all charges which have been removed from office since the 4th day of March last, with a specification of the cases, if any, in which the officers charged have had opportunity to be heard, and a state. ment of the number of removals made under | each Department. | Adjourned over to Thursday.

Parsuaint 6 hatloe, public esting fr the purpose of farthering the cause of the Central Rail Road was held. in this Town on Saturday the 5th instant. Col. E. D. Austin was appointed Chairman, aad J. J. Bruner, Secretary. By a request from the Chair, . H. C, Jones, Esq., explained the object of the meeting, and the circumstances which led to its appointment. He said that the delegates to the late Convention at Greensborough having done on that oc- easion, all they could to raise the requir- ed sum of one million, and being unable to make up that amount, the Convention had recommended that Public meetings be appointed and held in the several coun- ties interested in the work, before which the whole subject should be brought up and the people be arged to come to the réscue. This meeting had been thus ap- pointed, and for the purpose of doing all that can be done towards raising the mil- lion of dollars of stock which the people must subscribe to insure the success of this great work. Mr. J. concluded by in- troducing to the meeting, the Hon. Cautnin Graves. Mr. G. favored the meeting with a talk of some half hour arrest of Prof. Websterfcharged with the murder of Dr. Parkman, it was stated that | the professor had recevied from Mr. | Swain a large quantity of grape vinecut- | lings. It was at first reported that these | purpose of kindling fires, &c., but when | the nature of the wood became known, it was supposed that the Professor had mere- ly ordered them to be sent to his labrato- ry for some chemical experiment. It has since been ascertained, by burning flesh with grape vine cuttings, that the effluvia arising ts entirely concealed. This is an important discovery in science, and may not have been known to the Professor. We also learn that Mr. Alex. Houstan | called at the house of Dr. Parkman on the | day of, or day atter his disappearance, and was informed by a member of Dr. P’s. family that he had left the city and would not return for several days. Our readers can draw their own inferences.— Boston Herald, Dec. 27th. MELANCHOLY OCCURENCE. A circumstance of a very melancholy character occurred on New Year’s day, in a worthy Scotch emigrant family, nam- ed Leslie, residing in Church street. The father, who is a millwright, left his home early in the morning for his place of busi- ness ; a Short time after the mother also left to make some purchases in the neigh- borhood, and turned the key of the door, locking their two children—one of whom was in its fourth year and the other about two years old—in one of the rooms, in the chimney of which a fire had been built. Having accomplished her errand she re- turned home to witness a truly awful sight. The room was filled with smoke and there were the little sufferers, one ex- tended on the floor and the other lying in a cradle ; bothshockingly burnt. The el- dest child died immediately after ber re- turn, and the other lingered out the day and a part of the night, when it also ex- pired. How this melancholy accident occurred, which has left these parents childless, is left to conjectnre.— Charleston Courier. THE PUBLIC LANDS. From the Report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office it appears that during the past year upwards of six mill- in length, during which his audience were alternately driven to laughter and to pro- found reflection. Mr. G. told them that he did not come to make a speech, but to | were bundles of faggots to be used for the | present, for their signatures, what his Guilford friends were pleased to call, the “Guilford Declaration of Independence,” i. e., the proposal to form a company of one hundred men to take the remainder of the unsubscribed million. He was hap- py to make the acquaintance of the peo- ple of Rowan; but he did not come to tickle their ears with witty words—he would leave that for others. He came to counsel with and urge them to subscribe for the Rail Road; and he thought he could not say more unless some one would come forward and subscribe. No one coming forward, Mr. G. said, well, if I mast, I must, but [ hate it mightily. He then proceeded to speak of the struggle in the Legislature to obtain the charter for this Road—of the right of the Legisla- ture to charter and to make sappropria- tions for such works—of the bad policy of individuals or parties opposing it—of the | effects the work, when completed, must have on the prosperity of the State ; and concluded by setting in array a great ma- ny facts to prove that those who subscribe to the work run no risk of losing. Mr. Graves finished amidst applause. He was followed by Gov. Moreneav. Gov. M. went right into the heart of the business on hand: He wanted to see gentlemen come for- ward and subscribe—he called upon them todo so. He had the pleasure of stating that, since the Greensboro’ Convention, a number of names had been enrolled on the list of the one hundred men:. At Ral- eigh, four had signed; in Randolph, one —almost two; at Lexington four more ; and he understood since they had left that town another company to take a share had been made up. He saw inthe meet- ing a number of gentlemen from Lexing- ton, and he believed some of them had come over here expressly to enroll that ions of acres of land were advertised for sale, and more than six ard a half millions | are prepared for market, a great part of | which will be proclaimed during the ensu- | ing year.

Catlin and his Horse on the Prairie. | Day by day I thus proceeded along the whole way thro’ waving grass and green fields, occasionally dismounting and lying antil the grim shaking and chattering of an ague chill had passed off; and through the nights slept on my bear skin spread upon the grass, with my saddle for my pillow, and covering. My horse Charley was pick- eted near meat the end of his lasso, which gave him room for his grazing; and thus we snored and nodded away the nights, and never were denied the doleful sere- nades of the gangs of sneaking wolves that were nighly perambulating our little encampment, and stationed at a safe Gis- lance from us at sun rise in the morning, gazing at us, and impatient to pick up the crumbs and bones that were left. when we moved away from our feeble fire that had faintly flickered through the night, | and in the absence of timber, had been made of dried buffalo dung. * * * I generally halted on the bank of some little stream at balf an hour’s sun, where feed was good for Charley, ‘and where | bis attddhitient aid dependence whieh het had foluntarily given in the night, and] Fthougbt 1 would trl them in another way.” So I packed up my things and slung the. saddle on my back. trailing ny gun in my hand and. stated on my route. Afier 1 had advanced aboot a quarter of a mile. I looked back and saw him standing with his head and tail very high, looking aher- nately at me and at the spot where I had been encamped, and left a little fire burn- ing. In-this-econdition. he stood and sar- veyed the prairies around for a while, as I continued’ on. He at length walked with a burried step to the spot, and seeing everything’ gone, began to neg very vio- lently, and at last started off at fullest speed, and overtook me, passing within a few paces of me, and wheeling about at a few. rods distant in front of me, trem. bling like an aspen leaf. I called him by his familiar name, and walked up to him with the bridle in my band, whieh I put over his head,.as he held it down fer me, and the saddle-on his back, as he aetually stooped to. receive it. I was soon arrang< ed and on his back, when he started off upon his course asif he was well content- ed and pleased, like his rider, with the mancuvre which had brought us togeth- er again. For the Watchman. A DREAM. While sunk in sleep me thought I was suddenly transported to some foreign land, and | found myself wandering “in a se- questered glen in the middle of a beauti- ful grove of orange trees on which the moon was shining with full splendor, and which were at the same time loaded with sweet golden fruit and balmy silver flow- ers.” In this Elysian retreat I found sev- eral persons reposing in the arms of Mor- pheus; and as the idea occurred to me that when men were buried in sleep their souls might take the opportunity to leave their constrained abode in the human frame and to range at will in space, | thought 1 might be able to observe the different dispositions of these men by the actions of their spirits when thus left to act freely. I determined, therefore, to watch for them. In a short time, as | thought one made its appearance, like a meteor of a bluish color and of a globu- lar form: this after hovering a short time over the body it had left, moved away to a distant part of the grove: and loitering about there among the trees for a short time, as if in quest of something, it dart- ed off to the orb of the moon with the speed of thought. I kept watch of it while it revolved about that luminary 4 few times, and then it darted off again towards the stars, and disappeared in the regions of space; I saw it no more, but concluded that this |coald get wood to kindle my fire. and wa- | ter for my coffee. The first thing was to | _undress Charley and drive down his pick- | }et, to which he was fastened, to graze | over a circle that he could inscribe at the | end of his lasso. In this wise he busily. fed himself until night fall; and after my | coffee was made and drank, | uvniformly | /moved him up, with his picket by the head, | so that I could lay my hand upon his lasso | in an instant, in case of any alarm that, was liable to drive him from me. On one | of these evenings when he was grazing | was the soul of some high minded, noble man, who when awake was fond of rais- ing his thoughts above the motives of im- mediate gain and present gratification.— That he had been accustomed to expand his mind by contemplating the grand dis- plays of creative energy in the worlds above us. But on attending again to the men sleeping in the grove, I saw the soul of another rise in the same manner, simi- ilar in appearance, but exceedingly small, | so much so that while fora few minutes, | ‘coruah and respect, but, pley their. sports a rthis effect, that the disposition of each boy. be. | | law. sleep. half opening my eyes, 1 was instantly musing on the subject some one called to ‘shocked to the soul, by the huge figure me and I awoke. as usual, he slipped the lasso over his head it wandered about among the branches of | and deliberately took his supper at his the trees, as if uncertain what direction | pleasure wherever he chose to preter it, to take.

But now the new born infant is committed to a little Greek maid, to whom is added one or two among the men servants, generally the most worthless, and unfit for any duty of importance. Immediately the tender and unformed minds of the children are filled with al the tales and stories of these ; nor does any one in the whole house regard what he says or does before his infant master, when even the parents themselves do not ac- custom their little sons to virtue and discretion, but to jesting and shamelessness: by which gradually want of respect, and’ disregard both of themselves and of others ereeps in. Now, indeed, the native and peculiar vices of this city seem to me almost connatural ; such as the love of stage plays, of shows and circus. es: and when the mind is occupied and filled with such things, how little room is left for use- ful studies? How often can you find a man that will talk of anything else at home? What oth. er conversations of the striplings do we hear, when we enter their school rooms! Even the teachers do not ofiner talk of anything else with their pupils. For they obtain scholars, not by good government and skilful experience, but by excessive courtesy, and the arts of flattery.” ‘Thus we see what made great menat Rome, who raised her to the greatest pitch of earthly greatness in Eloquence, Arts and Arms. It was rigid mental discipline, with all possible care of the morals of the youth: nor is it any wonder that when the practice of antiquity was forgotten ; and when corruption of morals be. gan in the cradle: when the love of shows, plays and circuses filled the mind in place of those studies that fit it for the business of life, that the legions of Rome that had rushed to victory be. fore, were driven back with disgrace ; that lit- erature declined from the age of Augustus ; and that what Rome once was she was no longer ; from being the first of nations she took the low. est place. History is our teacher; and here is a lesson for us to learn. TACITUS. STUDY THE WISDOM. OF GOD IN HIS WORKS. “At present we know of no secondary cause that could have any influence in regulating the respective distances of the planets from the sun: yet there appears a relation hetween the dis. tances that cannot be considered as accidental. This was first observed by Prof. Bode, of Ber. lin. Comparing these with the actual mean distances, we cannut but remark the near agree- nent, and can scarcely hesitate to pronounce that these mean distances were assigned accor- ding to a law, although we are entirely ignor- ant of the exact law, and of the reason of that The relation here spoken of is as follows: If Mercury’s distance from the sun be called 4, and Venus’s 4»43 which is very nearly the proportion, then 4 »<2 X3 will be the Earth’s distance, 4 >¢ 2 2 X 3thatof Mars, 4>424X3 Jupiter’s, 4 >¢2 5X3 Saturn’s, and 4 <2 6X3 that of Uranus. Upon the discovery of the small planets, their mean distance, (between Mars and Jupiter, where it will be seen a term is wanting to make the series regular) was found te be nearly 43423 X3. Kepler had observed a progression, but did not assign its He remarked, also, that one term seem ed to be missing. Bode assigned the particu. lar law, and noticed the apparently missing term. ‘The existence of a planet between Mars and Jupiter was accordingly suspected, and al last, to the astonishment of astronomers, four law. litle Uodies, looking like fragments of a planet. more than a planet, were discovered at a Cis. tance from the sun, so near to that whieh had been suspected, that their mean distance fills up its place in the series, as wei! as that of any other planet. Jupiter’s satelites and Saturn’s seem to be ranged around their primaries by similar laws.” —Brinkley’s Elements of Astronomy, Sections 114 and 115. KOSSUTH'S FAMILY.

The incident occurred in Paris, in 1882: ] was calling upon Lafayette one day (said Mr. Cooper.) and was let in. by his canfdential servant, who, it struck. me,. showed signs of having something to con- ceal, He said his master was at home,. and, after a moment's besitation, made way for me to go on as usual to his pri- vate room—but! saw there was some embarrassment. 1 walked in, and found the General alone. He received me with the same.cordiality as ever, but enquired with some eagerness who. let me ia, and whether I met an old acquaintance going admitted me, and that there was eertain- ly something peculiar in the man’s man- ner; but as 1 had _ seen no one else, I knew nothing more. , “ Ah,’ said the General, “that fellow put bim in the side room. Sit dowa, and I will tell you. Trince Louis Napaleoa Bonaparte was here two minutes ago!” . expressed my surprise of eourse, for. this was in ’32, when it was death for a Bonaparte to enter France. “ Yes,” continued the General, “ and he came with a proposition. He wishes to marry my grand daughter Clemeatine,, unite the republicanists and imperialists, | make. himself Emperor, and make my | grand-daughter Imperatrice !” “And, if it be not an indiscreet ques- | tion,” | said, “ what was your answer, my dear General ?” “I told him,” said Lafayette, “ that my family had the American notion on that subject, and chose husbands for them- se] ves—that there was the young lady— he might go and court her, and, if she liked him, | had no objection.” Mr. Cooper did not tell us (for of course he did not know) bow the Prince plied his wooing, nor why he failed. Clementine, who, thus possibly, lost. her chance of being an Empress, married Mons. de Beaumont, and now represents her rejected admirer, as the French am- bassadress at the court of Austria. Short- ly after this visit to Lafayette, Mr. Coop-: er was in London, and mentioned to the Princess Charlotte, (the widow of the eld- er brother of the present President of France.) this venture of Prince Louis into the den of the Orleanists. * He is mad !” was the only reply. But the finger post, of “that way madness lics,” does not .al- ways point truly. At any rate, thereis.a certain “ method in his madness,” for the same match between Imperialism and Republicanism has been the Prince’s pur- suit ever since, and the chances are that he will finally bring it about—Clemen- tines, and other immediate unbelievers, notwithstanding.

The resolution had not been got up for partizan purposes. It was offered to obtain information which his constituents desired. He wished to have no disguises. They were told that they should not have the Wilmot Proviso forced upon them; but he wished that that proviso should not be presented in an indirect way.

No; it was, that a man be sent there to remonstrate, and that Aostria be forced to hear the coun- sel of Great Britain in behalf of Hungary. What is the object in having foreign min- isters?

Now, the progress so advocated was not an universal one. It did not extend to the improvement of our harbors. He was afraid the progress advocated by the Senator consisted in waging foreign wars and foreign conquests, and in a territorial aggran- dizement. He hoped it would be long before the country would engage deeply in such pro- gress, particularly at the expence of peace.— The Senator says this is a great country. It is. But we should exercise the powers of greatness with which Providence has blessed us, with a just regard to the rights of others— maintaining our rights firmly, and invading the rights of none. If the progrees which the ator advocates be foreign wars, foreign con- quests, and territorial aggrandizements, he thanked God that he belonged to the stand-still school. = He hoped that before the Senate would adopt a resolution tending to depart from the policy so long pursued by our country from its founda- tion tothe present day,from the time of Washing- ton to the last of bis successors, they would pause and consider well the importance of the step they were about to take. Mr. Foote obtained the floor, but gave way to a motion to adjourn, which was carried. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House proceeded to the regular business— the election of officers—Messrs. Thompson, of Pennsylvania, Crowel!, Haralson, and White, acting as tellers. Having voted twice without making a choice of Clerk, Mr. Chester Butler moved that further pro- ceedings in the election of Clerk be post. poned for the present, and that the House pro- ceed to the election of a Sergeant-at arms, hav- ing understood that the present incumbent wishes to be relieved. To this there was objection. Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, asked leave to offer the following resolution, which was read for information, viz : Resolved, ‘That Thomas J. Campbell, who is now performing ex gratia the duties of Clerk should be sworn by the Speaker, to act pro tem. pore as Clerk of this House, and that he be sworn accordingly Objection being made— Mr. Marshall remarked, that, as would be perceived by the other side of the House, this was a concession to the point made by the gen- tleman from Alabama (Mr. Inge) the other day namely, that the House canaot at all proceed in its business until a Clerk be sworn. He appealed to the law of 1789 on the subject. It appeared to him that the person acting as Clerk ought to be sworn. ‘The Speaker reminded the gentleman that debate was out of order. Mr. Marshall moved that the rules (which require the resolution to lie over) be suspend. ed, that a vote might be taken on the proposi- tion. , Mr. Carter inquired whether the House bad not better elect a Clerk before they swore him.

He would say that he had long and steadily resisted the current of abolition feeling. but he was now in despair, and saw that it must goto ahead. Gentlemen of the South now admitted that the current of opinion at the North was aot to be resisted. What the South would do it was not for him to say; but he had no doubt that when the time should come, she would act in a manner that was demanded by her honor and interests. Mr. Borland opposed the motion to print, be- cause the resolutions were aggressive in their character and insulting to the South. The subject was passed over. The Senate took up the resolution offered by Mr. Cass for an inquiry into the per regres of suspending di tic relations with Austria, the sastion of Mr Hale to include Russia pend- ing. Mr. Foote, who was entitled to the floor, spoke at length in support of the resolution, and adverted to the oppcesition which the resolution had met with from the two Senators who spoke yesterday. Mr. Hale explained that he had not opposed the resolution. Mr. Foote could, he said, easily distinguish between the rose bush and the serpent under it. The Senator's enmity was concealed under a mask of friendship. But he had not intended to bestow notice on that Senator’s remarks, be- lieving him to be under a hallucination. “He complimented the Senator from Ken- tucky, Mr. Clay, and expressed his gratification at seeing him again in this body. But he pro- ceeded to consider. the various objections which has been urged by that Senator, to the proposi- tion. He maintained that there was a social bond between nations which required that they should conform themselves to the common opinion of mankind, and that Austria could take no offence at the withdrawal of our minister, while the measure would be an encouragement to the friends of liberal principles. Mr. Foote complimented the eloquent letter of ex-President Tyler in favor of the Hungari- ans. He showed also, from the remarks of Mr. Cobden, that the example of America was looked to, and that she was expected to express her sentiments. The example was due to hu- man liberty and to the struggle for republican freedom. The Keystone State had spoken, and the American people, everywhere, had held meetings and expressed their sentiments. He demanded that Congress, as the representatives of twenty millions of people, should speak out in behalf of the oppressed. The Senate adjourned. The House met at 120’clock. The journal of yesterday having been read, Mr. Gentry, of Tenn., who had until now been detained at home by domestic affliction, appeared in his seat to-day, and was qualified by taking the oath to support the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Hammond, of Md., presented a petition from Samuel Chalmers, praying indemnity for French spoliations prior to 1801, which was re- ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Speaker announced that the first busi- ness in order was the election of officers. The rol] was then called—the same gentlemen an- nounced yesterday, acting astellers. ‘They re- reported the following as the result of the sev- eral votes : Sth. Oh. 10th.

The chair ruled that the order passed by the House, to go into an election, was indivisible, and that, if a postponement be made, it must be of all the officers. Mr. Richardeon here moved that there be a call of the House, and on which motion Mr. Bayly demanded the yeas and nays, which being ordered, the question resulted in the negative by yeas 69, nays 141. out in a long article headed “ No apology but a just defence.” The editor says “ we feel a pride in old Mecklenburg our adop- ted home though it be ;”—and with that he goes off buzzing /—just as though he was a natural “ hornet.” Perhaps it may afford our brother edit- or some relief to know that this commu- nity have never expected much ef Meck- lenbarg, considering her heavy liabilities on account of the Columbia and Charlotte road ;—and that, if Mecklenburg had not made pledges to the effect that she would build the road through her limits to the Cabarrus line, no one would have thought of censuring her course on this occasion. But if we are not mistaken such pledges were given by gentlemen of Mecklenburg; and if they are not redeemed, we think it becomes the “ Nest” to speak in a rather more subdued tone. Gen. Saunders at Wilmington.—Gen. Saunvenrs visited Wilmington on the 5th of this month in behalf of the Central Rail Road. We see by the “ Commer- cial,” that a very interesting meeting was held there at that time.—Fine speeches were made by several gentlemen who were called there, by the occasion, and others who reside in the town. Consid- erable interest was excited, and a very handsome subscription was made. But we fear Wilmington feels that her hands are full enough if she takes care of the Manchester Road. All the subscriptions that were made appear to have been for that Road. And we are rejoiced to find that the proceedings at Wilmington on this occasion, served to dispel the gloom which it is said overshadowed the Man- chester scheme up to that time. D> The Fayetteville Carolinian tells of a white negro whom the editor says was in that town lately. It appears that this negro—an old man—has been gradually turning white, for a number of years, un- til now there are remaining only a few dark colored marks or spots on him: bis kinky head is the only evidence left of his being a negro. It is supposed this singular change of color is caused by a snake bite, which the old man received when a boy. 0.7 The geographical distance between Paris and London, is 300 miles, though in time, it is only 84 hours.

The House re- fused to postpone by yeas 67, nays 139. Mr. Meade made an ineffectual effort to in- the House, which presented a bar to the elec- tion of a Clerk bya plurality vote. The House then adjourned till to-morrow. California Sularies.—The salary of Judge Peter H.

Mr. Cobb bas shown himself, however, influenced altogether by mere partizan spirit in these appoinimentt, and in the face of solemn pledge, that he wool administer the duties of his Chair * faithfully and impartially,” bas been guilty, in the ver] outset, of the grossest partiality and deceil: He bas made the Committees, in all that rt: gards politics, on the side of the Locofocos.— And this from a Speaker elected by a miporty of members—by a vote of 102 for, to 1% against him! He has not only given, alto, tbe Chairman of every Committee to the Locoloest, but to guard against the chances of a Whig being by any contingency, in the illness of sence of the regular Chairman, at the >¢ of any one of them, he bas even placed 2 few unimportant exceptions, a Locoloce # cond on the list of each Committee.

Writing is most easily executed by the combined ac- tion of all tbe joints, of the arm, hand, and fingers. — According to this system, it seems to be a grani object to give the pupil a bold and free use of the pen, by in- structing him as to the proper movement of the arm and hand, as well as the fingers. What is called cramped writing, it is believed by the advocates of this system, arises in a great measure from the arm remaining sta- tionary on the desk, while the fingers make a coustrain- ed and imperfect movement forward, rendering the fre- quent lifting of the pen unavoidable. Precise rules are also given in this system for forming the letters’ on s¢i- entific principles, so that the pupil may jadge of hisown progress, not merely by @omparing his ows weining: with a fait copy, but by his degree of conformity to thé rales this art.

A fragment of an old pamphlet, of a few pages only the first and last part of it wanling, came into the hands of the subscriber, a few months since ; and he is desirous of obtaining, _if possible, a complete copy for the Historical Society of the State.

An Army under the command with a “mind diseased,” yet Nature tri- omphed over the clouded intellect, and for s brief moment, the parties talked of the jsnd of their birth, and when they had } separated from each other.

VIEWS OF GEN. CASS ON CALIFOR. NIA. The editor of the Prairie (I!].) Democrat says of arecent interview with Gen. Cass: “We had it from the lips of Gen. Cass himself, but a few months ago, that he gould “certainly vote fot the admission of California as a State, with a Constitu- tion prohibiting Slavery,” as be considered that the only legitimate way to settle the tion in the territories. We under- tand this to be Gen. Cass’s position, with- m any heresay or conjecture about it.” Message of Gen. Fish.—The annual as been delivered. It states that the debt of the State in the year ending 30th September, to be $22,895,000, and the ag- sregate revenue in the same time, $4.000,- 0. The Banks are represented as be- | ing sound. The Governor recommends | the establishment of a mint. Peansyluunta Finances.—During the past year, the receipts into the State trea- sury of Pennsylvania amounted to 84,- 433,688, and the expenditures to $4,084,- 771, which with previous balance, leaves on hand $926,206. The revenue of the State is gradually on the increase. Our Charge to Austria.—A letter from Washington states that Col.

DERANGED BOY. Fauustown, IREDELL Co., N. C. Jan. 10th, 1850. Mr. Epitor.—On Friday the 6th instant, there was a young man, Peter Hartline disap. peared from this neighborhood, which induces the belief, he was under derangement. He was living with a widow woman and started to go to mill three miles distant, with a one horse waggon on which he had his grain. When in a half mile of the mill he was overtaken by (wo persons acquaintances ; he stopt his wag- gon and told one of them he must take his horse and waggun to the mill, stating, the woman, with whom he lived had been taken suddenly ill after he lefi, and he ran off through the woods in the direction indicated. He was seen running through a clearing much exhausted two hours from that time he started going the proper course for home, bis foot track was seen half mile from this place, in a cornfield. The neigh. bors have been searching ever since without making any discovery. When he left he had a brown linsey coat, dark pantaloons, flanne| shirt and chip hat. His afflicted parents and relatives wish youto publish this notice, with the hope if he is living, they may hear where he is. JOHN YOUNG. Supreme Court.—The Supreme Court of N.

He is courteous enough. Neither do we object to the a.- vowal of the sentiment, which we have copied above. All we have to say is, that if the Northern people have come to the determination declared by Gov. Fish, that there shall be no more slave states admit- ted into the Union, we are prepared at once for a dissolution of that Union.— We do not intend to argue the question. But if the South is to be denied equal rights and ptivileges, the Union that our fathers established, no longer exists. Richmond Whig. THE OTHER SIDE! The New York Express, one of the most liberal of all the Northern prints, in regard to Southern institutions, has some sharp comments on the grumbling of the Southern people. It says that the South has the President, the lion's share of the Cabinet, the Speaker of the House and most of the important committees in both Houses, the majority inthe Supreme Court and “yet we hear a constant groaning and grumbling of Northern usurpations and Northern aggressions.” All this monopoly of office, might be endured, the Express says, though it tries their patience some ; “ but (adds that pa- per,) to take from us our rights, and then abuse us like pick-pockets or something worse, as we see and hear ourselves abus- ed now by every body, of every party South, is a little more than flesh and blood can bear.” There is some ground for this complaint of the Express—though it is more appa- rent than real. If the South has this mo- nopoly of office, the North has the monop- oly of the main chance—it has about nine of every ten dollars appropriated from the public treasury. What the Express means by “ take from us our rights,” we not understand. That is what we complain of on the part of the North—that they deny to us the common enjoyment of the territory acquired by the common treasure and blood of the whole Union. The South, as far as we know, has never encroached upon any rights of the North. The majority of offices spo- i ken of by the Express, were not obtained on sectional grounds nor by sectional | votes. But these offices, valuable as they may be, would but poorly compensate us for a permanent sectional inferiority.— While the Union exists, each State is en- titled to equal rights—and we should be ‘false to every thing worthy of freemen, if _we could consent to occupy a position of inferiority in the confederacy. | This is the gist of our grievance—that 'the North, by claiming the whole of the | territories of the Union, deny to us our | equal rights, and if their claim is admit- ted, they degrade us to the condition of | vassals. For one, we are not prepared | to submit to this. We vastly prefer that | they should have all the offices.—Rich. | mond Whig. | | THE GAME. Mr. Hale, in speaking onthe anti-slave- | Telegraphic. The experiment of laying the | ry resolutions of Vermont, in the Senate, | elected and others to be defeated. This is all they are intended for, and all they are intended for in Verment. The Legisla- ture of that State, at its next session, will and it will be very convenient then to have a good resolution to show. And so in all these States; and, when looked at in this point of view, they are very harm- less affairs ; and gentlemen will have to wait some time until these fanatics are more numerous than they are before these resolutions will do great harm out of their immediate neighborhood. I do not say this to disparage the resolutions of the State of Vermont, but because this great confederacy and the whole are waiting to know—and it is desirable to know it —what we are doing. It is necessary that the true state of the case should be known.” This is frank, and we suspect very near the mark. The whole agitation had its origin in demagoguism. There were small men at the North, as well as at the South, who could not attain distinction without some adventitious aid. They understand one another thoroughly, and hence we find them frequently playing into each other's hand in Congress. If the North- ern Demagogues have exhausted their capital, there are some congenial spirits from the South always ready to lend them a helping hand; and if the Southern agi- tators are pretty nearly a ground, Gid- dings & Co. are at hand with their pock- ets full of resolutions to put them afloat. And so the game goes on. But the mischief is, not so much the temporary prominence of these unworthy men—discreditable as that isto this great country—as the danger to the glorious fabric of the Union. A child or.a sim- pleton could set fire to the noblest temple, which the genius of man ever erected ; and it might be consumed amidst the un- availing regret of the human race. It is in this capacity, that these incendiaries are now acting. By pushing sectional questions to extremes—by engendering and exasperating sectional prejudices, and inflaming passions unworthy of a great and united people—they may precipitate a catastrophe which the combined wis- be unable to avert, and which all good men would deplore.— Rich. Whig. Government in Rome.—The able arti- cle in another column from the London Herald on the affairs of Rome, refers to- wards its conclusion to the re-establish. ment of the Inquisition in that city, tothe fortunes of a distinguished Roman, Dr. Achilli, who has been thrown into its dun- geons. We have ina London paper the full particulars of this horrible affair, which we propose to publish at an early day. Why, whilst this infernal institu- tion is revived in the capitol of the Chris- tian world, does old Mr. Cass’s thunder sleep? Is it not as shocking to humani- ty to imprison and subject to a long se- ‘ries of tortures, as to shoot and hang? Is it because his son, Lewis, jr., is enjoying ‘the salary of a charge and a suspension of diplomatic relations would suspend bis pay?

Such, at least, is the object | published to the world, and therefore, it challenges the respect of fair minded men; for whatever is done in the sacred name of justice should be calmly and charita- bly considered. On this account and because the sub- ject bas, from the beginning been one of great importance, the writer of these re- marks has given toit his anxious atten- tion; and he is willing that the world should know not only the conclusions at which he has arrived, but the reasons which have induced these conclusions.— The author is not vain enough to suppose that his views on any subject can, on their own account, be of much importance to the world ; but he does believe that in times of great excitement, a candid ex- posure of feelings and opinions, by men of all classes, cannot fail to do good. We have acommon country, a common hope, and a common destiny ; let us, there- fore, calmly and frankly reason together before we condemn each other and in- voke to our councils that first born of hell, the Demon of fraternal strife. What is the evil which the Wilmot pro- viso seeks to repress? Negro slavery is assumed to be a curse; a curse to the slave and to the master, and the welfare of each is the professed object of those who desire to see the Wilmot Proviso be- come a law. Has slavery proved a curse tothe negro? While there is nothing more ennobling in its tendencies than well regulated liberty, the inevitable ef- fect of slavery is to debase ; and the end of all human progress is the emancipation of our race from every species of debasing vassalage. The final consummation is not to be expected in this life; we can- not be entirely “redeemed and disen- thalled” until the universal emancipator, Death, shall release those bonds with which Adam bound all his posterity. Still liberty and happiness; and these are to be found in an entire subjugation of our bad passions and brutal propensities. A in spite of external enemies; a race en- any mere forms of law.

They would be an in- tolerable nuisance tothe whites; and the whites, superior in intellect and privileges, would tyranize over them, out-wit them, and oppress them without remorse. Must they be sent to Africa? Tosend them there would exhaust the means of their owners; and certainly the wildest enthusiast could not expect such a sacri- fice of mortal men. Besides, to aggre- gate them together in great numbers, and leave them to themselves, is but to drive them back to barbarism ; the savage pro- pensities of their nature can be most ef- fectually repressed by their sparse diffu- sion among more enlightened and civiliz- ed people. What then isto be their des- tiny? Before the answer to this is considered, it may be well to enquire, if slavery is a curse to the master. It may be assumed that it is, for the sake of argument, all that the Provisoists maintain shall be granted. It is admitted then, that slavery is @ corse to the master; how are his eyes to be opened to a recognition of the fact, and how is he to he relieved? Will he be taught against his will? Will he be taught by acts of legislation forced on him _ by men from distant sections and repre- senting different intereste? Will he pa- tiently agree to be stultified and branded before the world as a tyrant ignorant of his interests and his duties ? The answers to these questions may be | found in the history of the anti-slavery ex- citement in this country: a history con- firming the lesson taught by all time, that moral reforms can never be forced on any civilized people by other and equal na- tions or other equal States. Forty years ago there was one opinion at the South on the subject of slavery; it was known and publicly recognized to be an evil, and men of all parties desired its gradual ab- olition. Distant and disinterested philanthro- pists began to volunteer their counsels and their aid: and as these increased in numbers and zeal, sectional jealousies were aroused—sectional pride invoked— and sectional parties were formed. Ab- olition became odious at the South. be- said: “| was going on to say in regard to | these resolutions, that I think they are pretty harmless, after all. The true state | of the case in the Northern States is this: ' there has been a small band of fanatics ‘there who have made so much noise that “many people have imagined them to be | greatly more numerous than they are; ‘and the Whig and Democratic parties, | thinking them to be some consequence, ‘have stared in a game of resolutions.— The Whig party started and the Demo- crats followed them very lately; for it is a new game with them, which they have undertaken to catch the “ fanatics,” for |“ fanatics” there have votes as well as other persons ; and the resolutions are in- tended for home use altogether. That is ‘the re .son they have not been instructed to present them bere. As the question comes up, and the Whigs accuse the De- times, and as betokening the deep and determined feeling of the South, on the abolition question, we publish on our first page, an earnest article from the Rich- mond (Va.) Whig, with some prefatory remarks by the Charleston Mercury. The “ Whig’ has heretofore been at the head of those Southern Whig papers, who met all the warnings of the far-sighted friends of the South, touching the grow- ing danger of the anti-slavery crusade, with cries of “ agitators,” “ disunionists, and “alarmists.” The “ Whig” is now fairly aroused, and by its determined tone of warning to the North, admits the fore- cast and prescience of the Democratic been predicting what has now come to | pass, and warning the country of perils now at hand.—Columbus (Ga.)

If slavery is to be abolished, directly or indi. rectly, immediately or gradually, it must be the voluntary act of those that own the slaves; they must be allowed to manage their own burdens, and to recover and repent of their sins. Pub. lic opinion is free. It is a christian, and civil. ized and a progressive land, and the owners of slaves are enlightened, civilized, and christian men. If they are committing errors against their own interests, they will Le sure to find them out in time; if they are burdening thete souls with sin, no others can make atonement for them.

The eyes of the world are upon us now; on the union of these States depend the most sa- cred interests of humanity. It is an idle dream to suppose, that liberty or peace will survive the dissolution of that Union dedicated to both; that this dissolution will not shroud the world in gloom, and entail calamities from which the imagination shrinks in horror. Gentlemen talk of the inconsistency of our professions and our acts; and they often allude to the Eu- long for insertion in our columns.

The attention of our readers of both) parties is respectfully directed to an arti- | cle in another column, from an esteemed Correspondent, in relation to the Conven- tion of the Southern States, proposed to be holden at Nashville, Tenn., on the first | Monday in June next. We cordially a- | gree with our Correspondent that this | Convention is of the first importance to | the South and tothe Union, and that North Carolina ought, by all means, to be rep- | resented in it. | Mississippi has called it, both parties | uniting in the call; and she has been} promptly seconded in the movement by Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Geor- | gia, and Tennessee. Even the border States of Maryland and Kentucky will be there; and should we of North Carolina hold back? But we do not intend, by any | argument on the subject, to appear even to anticipate opposition to such a move- ment. We believe that North Carolina will be represented, as she ought, in that Convention; and that both parties here will unite in sending Delegates. We propose, then, that eleven Dele- gates be chosen as follows: Let the Whig Convention, which is to assemble proba. bly in the course of a month or so, elect one Delegate for the State at large; and let the Democrats of the State, when they shall meet in Convention, or by some oth- er mode, appoint another Delegate for the State at large. This will leave nine to be appointed ; and we propose that they be selected by Conventions of the people, one from each Congressional District.— This, it strikes us, would be the best plan; but we are willing to agree to any plan which will secure a representation of both parties at Nashville. This is no party question. Jt comes home to us all—to our firesides, to our dearest rights, and to our highest interests With a torce which we could not disre- gard, if we would. As we love the Un- ion, and would preserve it, and as at the game time we would have our rights guard- ed for the future and respected, the South must presenta united front, and must acr. We have talked long enough.—Ruleigh Standard. oF Whatever be the motive, the “pre- vailing sentiment” of the North is disobe- dience to the laws of the common country upon the subject of slavery. It is obvious that unless that sentiment be reversed, and the requirements of the national com- pact observed in good faith by all its members, the Union is a rope of sand. It 's also clear that, if the Union be dissolv- ed, the fault will be with those who have renounced this “ sentiment of obedience to the laws,” and not with the South, which &$ sustained the Constitution and ask Yothing of the North but the faithful ob- *tvance of that instrument. It is melan- thaly to contemplate the dismemberment of this confederacy, but it will be some €Viation to know that the South is lameless, while it must be evident tbat lssolution is infinitely preferable toa sur- Tender of Southern institutions to the in- terference, dictation and aggression of the %a-slaveholding States.—Hich.

THE SLAVERY QUESTION. It is the opionion of some of the Washing- ton Letter writers that there will be no Jegisla- tion on any subject till the slavery question is settled, and scarcely any appropriations to car- ry on the government. We do not know how this question can be settled in so short a time. The southern members are rather too much ex. cited, at present, to treat the matter with the cool judgment necessary in so important a case. We have little hope that any proper feeling or correct principle will govern the anti-slavery men. Our southern men must better command their tempers, andexhibit a spirit of determina- tion more rational and solid than they do at | present, before any good can be done. ‘The | abolitionists are never better pleased, than | when they can get southern members to be like | a “powder magazine, the least spark thrown | into which, is sure to produce an explosion.” The difficulties of the slavery question can never be settled, till the subjoct is untrammel- led from party politics. Candor compels us to say, that we do not believe there is sufficient purity in the mass of our southern politicians, whig or democrat, to perform this essential du. ty. The record proves that the latter abandon every ground but party ground, to suit their purposes ; and while this is the case, the whigs cannot if they would, meet the issue asa ques. tion of southern rights. The fault is entirely our own, that we have We have never united on this great question, but always permitted it to sink into the gloom of party pol- itics. Those southern politicians, rife with fu- rious oratorical displays; much windy, wordy swaggering and bullying, know little of man. kind of the age, if they suppose the southern public is to be brought into action by this sort of foolery—in which the speakers appear more anxious to make the world believe that they are very valiant and chivalric sort of bodies, ready to * cut and come again” amid the scenes of the “ plumed troop and the big war,” than to vindicate, wisely and prudenly the rights of the South, and to resist with becoming dignity and firmness the encroachments of northern disor- ganizers. The south must reform her mode of opera- tions ; begin with the doctrine of “ principles not men;” seek the good of the whole, not the exaltation of a few, before any thing efficient can be done. So long as we start with bolster- ing up Mr. A. of South Carolina, Mr. B. of Georgia, Mr. C. of N. Carolina, instead of at- beat the air with idle blows. ‘This is a great revolution in hand, and no one can tell who will be the principal actors in the scene, until the drama opens. — Wil. Com. A Severe Rebuke.—In the discussion on the Vermont resolutions, in the Senate on Thurs- day last, Mr. Butler of S. C., replying to Mr. people of Ohio to the manumitted slaves of John Randolph, who were driven out of Ohio at the point of the bayonet, whilst, said he, ‘if they had gone into the State as fugitives from their masters, in violation, of the master’s rights, they would readily have found a home.” Mr. Chase, anxious to break the force of this fact, said that ‘‘those slaves are, at this day, living in Ohio.” Mr. Butler did not know whether they were there now or not. But when they first went there they were not permitted to remain. Mr. Hunter of Virginia said, the executor of Mr. Randolgh purchased a farm in Ohio on which to settle the negroes, which they were prevented from occupying by an armed band. In consequence of a notification given them that they would not be allowed to settle there, they were withdrawn, and subsequently intro- duced, one at atime, into the service of persons in Ohio. They were not permitted to settle together onthe land, and do not to this day. | Mr. Butler. [thank my friend for this state- ment; it is a consuming refutation of what the | gentleman has asserted. They reached Ohio only under the garb of being servants; they claimed their civil rights by appearing to be | slaves to those who denounce slavery &c.

In their wondrous philan-— thropy they give them protection if they repre- | sent themselves as runaway slaves. | Telegraphed for the Petersburg Intelligencer. | CONGRESS. Wasutveton, Jan. 15—6 P. M.

Ifthe loading is not calculated with a view to encountering the hard draw of regaining the track, by either | ascending a steep grade or drawing through a , deep bank of sand, the waggoner is in a fix.s— | a” Our informant is of opinion.that unless. thie-dif- ficul ty is remediedythe utility of the Plank Road will only be productive of vexations; and that market men will never travel it but oneé.— Wilt the Fayetteville papers tell us of the pro- posed remedy:in thé case.—Salisbury Watch. man. In answer to the above, we may state, first, that it is understood to be the intention of the Company to construct a doublé track in all places where the nature of the soil may require it. And secondly, we copy the following par- agraph from a pamphlet published by George Geddes, Civil Engeneer, of Syracuse, N. Y., who has had more experience in the construc- tion and management of Plank Roads than any other, or perhaps all others, in the United States :—Fay. Observer. “A single track will generally be sufficient for the business. The Syracuse road has but a single track, except where the soil is so san- dy that the wheels would sink deep into it, and for a short distance in the town, and it is com- puted that over 161,000 teams have passed over the eight miles next the city within two years. For three days in succession the passages of teams at the first gate have equalled one in two minutes forthe whole twenty-four hours, and this was all done upon a single track. The cases are few where one plank track will not be suf- ficient to accommodate the travel, if the earth road along the side is carefully kept in order. The first roads that were constructed in Can. ada were made wide, but latterly no plank more than eight feet long are laid except in vil- lages and cities.” Alabama.—On the 14th of December last, a few days before the organization of the House of Representatives, of the United States, the Alabama delegation wrote to the Governor of Alabama, that the House was still unorganized, and that the reason of it was that the free soilers held off from both political parties, and would vote for no one who would not pledge himself to aid them in their pur- poses; that they (the Alabama delega- tion) believed the people of Alabama would never submit to the aggressions of the free soilers, and that the Legislature being in session, it might be expedient to lay the information before that body. Accordingly the Legislature passed a preamble and resolutions expressing re- gret that a crisis had occurred which made it necessary for Alabama to take a decided position ; but instructing their re- presentatives never to organize the House upon the conditions of the free soilers ; and that in the event of the passage of any law by Congress containing the Wil- mot proviso, the State of Alabama would call upon the people of the Slaveholding States to meet in convention to take steps to secure their rights.— Fay. Carolinian. “ They Rest from their Labors.”—It is with no affectation of grief that we an- nounce the death of one of our most ven- erable, estimable and patriotic fellow cit- izens. General Daniel C. Butts, late, and for many years past, Teller in the Branch Bank of Virginia at this place, died at his residence, very suddenly, on Friday night last. During the day preceding his decease, he was at the Bank attending to his duties as usual, and we understand that, when he retired, on Friday night, he was in his usual health. In a moment, however,” in the twinkling of an eye,” the dread messenger that no time, nor circumstance, nor entreaty can repulse, arrived, and all that remained on earth of the exemplary citizen, the sincere and generous friend, the christian patriot, was a stiffened corpse! How true, how so- lemn, and how full of awful instruction to the living. the words of inspiration, “ in the midst of life we are in death !”"—Pe- tersburg Republican. Remarkable Weather at Santa Fe.—A dis- tinguished officer of the army, in writing toa friend in Washington city, from Santa Fe, in New Mexico, under date of October 30th, has -communicated the remarkable tact that the ‘thermometer, which stood on the morning of the 13th of that month at 9° Fahrenheit, on the 30th of the same month was at 60° in the shade. SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT. The N. Y. Tribune takes the following from a letter dated at Washington, Jan. 7: There was some talk Saturday among the Unionists about getting over the sectional disputes about the Dis- trict of Columbia, by creating for it a self-government and a representation, with the power to abolish Slavery within its limits. There are but few slaveholders here —not more than one in ten of the resident population being and superior services of the numerous foreigners here, , make slaves more undesirable every day. Rail Road Convention in Cabarrus. CONCORD, Jan. 22, 1850. Pursuant to the adjournment which was made on the 7th instant, the Convention again met at the Court- House, in Concord, on this day. The Convention was addressed by H. C. Jones and James W. Osborne, Esqrs., with great force and effect —the finest spirit prevailed amongst our citizens, al- | though the Convention was not as large as it otherwise | would have been but for the condition of the water cours- | es. One additional company was formed, and a second commenced, which will certainly be cafffpleted—which | will make in all seven of the IMMORTAL ONE HUNDRED in this County. It is confidently believed that two oth- er companies will be formed—of which, Messrs. Editors, you shall be duly informed. DANIEL COLEMAN, Pres'’t. L. S. Bixcuam, See’y. STATESVILLE, Jan. 12, 1850. This being the day appointed for the Rail Road meet- ing at this place, the people assembled in the Presbyte- rian Church, which was pretty well filled. Ex-Gov. Morehead, Hon. Calvin Graves, and John A. Gilmer, | were in attendance. On motion of W. P. Caldwell, Esq., Col. David Ram- say, was appointed Secretary, and Wm. H. Haynes, and R. H. Hill, Secretaries. The object of the meeting was then briefly explained by E. M. Campbell, Esq., who, before he took his seat called upon Mr. Graves for a speech. Mr. Graves rose and said that it was not his intention at that time to make a speech—that according to an arrangement they had made his brother Gilmer would lead off—that he might say something at the close of Mr. Gilmer’s re- marks, and that his young friend Morehead would give usa talk after night. Mr. Gilmer being introduced to the assembly by Mr. Graves, and urgently called for, ad- dressed the meeting for more than an hour and a half on the subject of Rail Roads generally, and particglar- ly on the importance of the contemplated Central Road to the Western part of the State. owners or hirers of slaves, and moderate wages | wh ftex.Me, Gila r concluded, Mr. Graves was called be and said he did not know what he could say in ad- — t ee | wae ary al Saale bi that’ ethought the subject n fi an a ed by Mr. gee A ag drift af his he appeared to be stfongly impressed: with the idea that the contemplated Road the last ‘chatice for Western N. Carolina—that if we should fail to secure this charter, we woald be undone. After Mr. Graves took his seat, calls were so loud and importunate for his young friend, Morehead, that he was compelled to lay aside all his youthful timidity and come forward and hold forth in broad day light. He made a most capital talk, and kept the audignee a considerable part of the time in a roar of langeier. ~ “motion, the following gentlemen were appointed by. the chaira committee, to solicit subscriptions: George F. Davidson, Esq-, Dr. J. K. Nisbet, W. P. Caldwell, and E. M. Campbell, Esqrs. On motion, the meeting then adjourned. : RAVID RAMSAY, Pres’t. Secretaries. W. H. Haynes, R. H. Hm, For the Watchman.

One mile and a half from Salisbury ! lot of Land situated on the Road to 3% Locke’s Bridge, one mile and a half from Salisbury. It consists of 20 or 22 Aeres, There is some good timber on it, anda large quantity of fire wood ; and its nearness to Town, where there is a never failing demand for wood, makes it much more valuable; than richer land situated at a greater distance off. The soil is not of the first quality. But the location compensates for its deficiency in this respect; and the hand of industry could soon make it one of the most desirable places for a residence. The subscriber would also remind the public that as the great Central Rail Road project is now looked upon as successful be- yond a doubt, every inch of land, especially near this Town, must soon be greatly enhanced in value ; and those who wish to obtain such property there, should lose no time in doing so.

A correspondent of the Straits Times writes : I regret to say that the cholera, that awful ‘isitation of God, has in its onward march teached Bangkok, and made most fearful rava- ges among its thoughtless multitudes. On Sun- day, the 17th of June, a few cases occurred within the city walls, and near the palace; by | the Tuesday following, it had so increased that | eighty bodies were taken toa single “ wat” for burning. On Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, itraged so that its horror’s are beyond descrip- tion. distance, without witnessing the dead bodies fying in all directions, and seeing persons at- tacked while walking from one place to anoth. | er, who perhaps ofientimes never reached their | homes. So great was the number of deaths, that they found it impracticable to burn them all and ma- ny were buried, and multitudes more thrown into the river just as they had died. You may form some conception of the numbers, by know- ing that, in many wats, four hundred, or near- ly that, were buried in a day. ‘They were brought and laid in piles, and fuel applied, when they were consumed tike heaps of hogs. No pa. tade—no funeral—no other ubyect but to has- ten them away to the wat, where they often were left to be burned by those who would at. tend to it or left to putrify on the ground, Per- haps in the three days last mentioned, not less than from two thousand to three thousand died daily ; and at the end of twelve days, it was known that more than twenty thousand had fal. len victims to its fearful ravages. Since that time, it has very much abated, but has by no Means ceased. The mortality is said to have been not so gfeat among the inhabitants. It is thought tbat within a radius of twenty or thirty miles, pot less than eighty thousand have been swept off by this fatal scourge within the last two or three weeks.

Webster defines it to be “any substance, which when taken in- to the stomach, mixed with the blood, or applied to the skin or flesh, proves fatal, tious, malignant, or noxious to health.— That which taints or destroys moral puri- ty or health.” One eminent physician says that “ poi- son is any substance which when taken into the system has the effect of disorder- ing some of the actions that make up the sum of life.” Another says, * What isa poison? It is that substance in whatever form it may _be, which when applied to a living sur- face, disconcerts and disturbs life’s healthy movements.” Now, how shall we deter- mine whether any substance comes under | these definitions? If we take and handle it, perhaps we should not be able to tell. | The appearance might not reveal its true /character; many things that are fair to | view, are destructive. So the forbidden fruit looked desirable ; but as it proved in that case, so it is often, that what tempts the eye most, is most to be avoided. Its { | | _use is destruction ; its touch is death.— | When pure, Alcohol may be clearaschrys- tal; when mixed with other substances it /may give a tempting color in the cup: But shall we, therefore, conclude that itis ‘harmless? Is that a sufficient reason to infer that it may with safety and pro- fit be taken into the stomach? Alas! would that now for the first time we were to prove the noxious quality of this poi- soner of mankind: would that we had not known too much of the evil effects of Alcohol, so that there might be a doubt as to whether it deserves to be branded as “a disturber of life’s healthy move- ments.” It is the glory of the present age to pursue the path of wisdom and science, | by observation and experiment. And what ‘has Alcohol proved itself to be, but a most | destructive poison? Not by an isolated case occurring now and then, but by ten thousand observations and experiments ? It cannot be said, as it is sometimes in Natural Philosophy, that the known in- stances of its operation are too few to in- fer from them a general principle ; and to lay it down as an undoubted truth. Too many persons have turned maniacs: too many have cut short their days, (while ‘they knew not drinking death) under the dominion of Alcohol; and have inflicted on themselves and others, too many other evils,to leave any room for such acharge as that. Nor can it be said that reported facts, are not facts; that the observers were ‘not men competent to note and record their observation: or thatthey were not men of such a character for honesty and in- tegrity as to be relied on. For who are they that thas stand forth as the champi- ons of the best interests of society? That would oppose the progress of this moral and physical evil? That would say to the swelling tide of misery and death “thus far, but no farther?” Are they not the best men that the country can pro- duce? They are Divines. Judges, States- men, Physicians. They know what they speak, and whereof they affirm. Are not they worthy of credit who have had opti- cal demonstration? Whose business itis to judge of the nature and effects of poi- sons? Who are handling and adminis- tering them to their patients every day? Are they not worthy of credit on this sub- ject, who would be on any other? And who are they on the other side? Why, the very men who are blinded by their appetites; who are pleading, not in be- half of the honest convictions of their con- sciences and better judgment: who are not seeking the truth, but to escape its ‘force: who love darkness rather than light; with whom sense, and supposed self-in- terest are superior to reason and con- science. Animal sensations have more weight with them than heaven-born truth. And do we need any other evidence than ‘this, that Alcohol is a poison “tainting and destroying moral purity?” That when men are most injured by it. they are least able to see, and least willing to acknow- ledge the evil ? And where shall we begin to show the truth of our proposition? We will begin /at the fountain of life itself: Alcohol is | mingled there in the golden bowl: and the purple stream, as it courses the arte- iries and veins, carries along with it a or deleterious; venom. Anything infec. | deadly element. It is unfitted to fulfil its office. Alcohol is not merely an intruder, in the way, but is deleterious. What should nourish and refresh the exhausted energies of the system, is rendered inca- ble of this end. It is also poisonous to the stomach, and an old writer says “ The stomach bears an adequate analogy to the root of a tree, and may properly enough be called the root of a man; for as the root of a tree is the beginning of it; receives,.or draws the juice of the Earth to prepare or convert it into food for the trunk, and all the branches, and being well digested, trans- mits it to all the parts: in like manner when the tree is observed not to be thriv- ing, or the branches to be decaying and | changing color; withering ordying, where do they look for the cause, but at the root of the tree? Even soit is with the nour- ishing of the parts of the body, and the diseases they are subject to, in relation to the stomach.” What then is the effect of Alcohol upon it? Its functions are deranged, and its organic structure is affected. The gas- tric secretions by which food is digested, are vitiated. The coats of the stomach are indurated, thickened, and ulcerated. The mucus membrane is atlength des troyed. Food is vomited, and appetite fails. The stomach is unfitted for nutri- tion and sometimes the mucus membrane is sothickened as to fill almost the entire cavity; and no nourishment can pass through it to support the system. Indi- gestion and complete emaciation follow, and this is succeeded by death. There is first an unnatural irritation of the surface of the stomach ; the follicles from which the gastric juice is secreted become con- gested. These are small mucus glands, so small that over a million are found in a cubic inch. When excited by proper food they send out a fluid that digests it. But when excited by Alcohol they are filled with black blood, and greatly en- larged ; and hence the membrane in which they are situated is so much increased in thickness. They are now incapable of furnishing the digestive fluid in proper quantity, or quality ; and then at length the functions, if not the very substance of the mucus membrane is destroyed. Dr. Lewall remarks that he has “ never dis- sected the stomach of the drankard in which the organ did not manifest some remarkable deviation from its healthy con- dition.” These effects are such as might be sup- posed beforehand to follow. The inner coat of the stomach is exceedingly sensi- tive ; and we may judge of the effects of ardent spirits on it, by what we find to be the case when it is held in the mouth for a short time. It excites the nervous agen- cy in an unnatural manner ; increases the tone, and contracts the blood vessels.— But this is of short continuance. The vi- tal energy so excited is soon exhausted ; a reaction follow. then inflammation. We know how it is with the eye, if we con- tinue to apply ardent spirits to that deli- cate organ for any length of time, and keep the eye-ball wet with it, we shall lose our sight. But the stomach is scarce- ly less sensible than the eye. This then shows that Alcohol is poisonous to the stomach at the centre of the human sys- tem. And why do we say that the effects above detailed show the presence of poi- son? Because they are precisely the same as follow from the action of other poisons on thatorgan. Arsenic, or any other ac- rid poison, when swallowed, is attended with the same cdfisequences, as is proved by dissection of the body when death had taken place in the course of a few days. And if two substances or classes of sub- stances, produce the same effects, in the same circumstances, and you call one of them a poison, what can you call the oth- er but a poison too? But the evil only | begins, it does not stop in this vital organ, | which is connected with all the rest of | the body just as the water wheel of a fac- 'tory is with all the machinery in it; and ' when its movements are disordered, all ‘the machinery must be affected. And | we next enquire as to the liver. Dr. Pa- |ris, an eminent European writer, says ‘that spirits induce with other diseases | “ an obstructe 0 liver” ; | which are mania a potu, indigestion, _patic dysenteries and dropsies.” Anot says “ the stomach, liver and brain are | those organs that more immediately ex- | hibit the deleteriousness of its unnatural | effects.” “ When used internally (savs another) } . ther physician says, “it produces a signita ‘chronic inflammation of the stomach and _ poisons. the immediate consequences of out a man, h he- | ease becomes incurable : her tality of the system has been destroyed. | in every form and proportion, it has long itant flies, healthy condition of the liver the blood vessels are many and large—bat in this case they had so much disappeared that the blood had not circulated through the liver for a long time. We are told that the “ morbid appear- ance seen after death, occasioned by Al- cohol exactly agree with those which re- sult from poisoning.” That we have ir- refragable proof that “ Alcohol is a poi- son of the very same nature as Prussic Acid, producing the same effects. killing by the same means”; that “on every or- gan they touch spirits operate as a poi- son.” But they touch on every organ: for unchanged, and undigested, they are taken up from the stomach by the absorb- ents,and goevery where that the blood goes. Dr. Gordon says “ most of the bodies of moderate drinkers which when in Edin- burgh I opened, were found diseased in the liver.” Another says “ Alcobol de- stroys the gastric hepatic system produc- ing a variety of liver diseases.” Nor can we suppose the heart to es. cape the delerious effects of this poison- ous agent. In one case of a man who fell suddenly dead after taking a glass of raw whiskey, on dissection, the heart was free from blood, hard and firmly contract- ed as if affected by spasm. And Dr. Sea- well remarks that “no doubt the use of ardent spirits promotes the assification of the valves of the heart, as well as the de- velopment of other organic affections.” A hard and stony heart, then is not alto- gether a figure of speech; no wonder that drunkarks are hard hearted and cruel! When the literal heart, if not turned to stone, is yet so hard as to make resistance to the scalpel. The lungs too, are subject to great dis- orders by the use of Alcohol. Respiration is difficult: especially in certain circum- stances; attended with copious expecto- ration, which at length ends in consump- tion. This is accounted for by medical writers in two ways. 1. By the immediate action of the spi- rits on the membrane that lines the air cells of the lungs. 2. By the sympathy of action between the lungs and other organs that are dis- eased, particularly the liver and stomach. This is proved by the fact that in many cases the cough and difficult respiration were relieved as soon as the patient ceas- ed to irritate the stomach with ardent spirits. The lungs of drunkards are often found after death adhering to the walls of the chest and affected with tubercles. But let us go to the “ upper story,” and see what we find there; for the brain must be affected by what injures other parts of this “ house we live in ;” we all know what is commonly said, when any one not accustomed to liquor has taken a dram, “ it flies to his head.” As soon as it acts on the stomach, the effect on the brain is apparent. It causes an influx of blood to that organ ; a concentration of vi- tal power there: an unnatural excite- ment, at an expense to other parts of the system ; and an inflammation of the brain is the consequence. By this means, many are afflicted with permanent madness: many become idiots ; and epilepsy, palsy, and delirium tremens follow in the train of “Prince Alcohol.” Sometimes the whole substance of the brain is complete- ly saturated with ardent spirits. A fluid has been found in the ventricles of the brain as strong as one third gin and two- thirds water. Alcohol hardens the brain in the skulll, or out of it: it is frequently put into spirits, to harden it preparatory to dissection. If these poisonous effects are undenia- bly produced on the stomach, liver, lungs, heart and brain by the use of ardent spi- rits, who can say that Alcohol is not a poison?) The American Temperance So- ciety in their eighth annual report say, “not a blood vessel however minute, not a thread of the smallest nerve in the whole animal machinery escapes its in- fluence.” It has taken the lives of thou- sands. “It has been the water of death to myriads of the human race,’ Says one. “In all its forms, (says another) it is to be regarded as the most virulent poison. Its use, as an article of diet, isthe direct cause of an appaling amount of disease and death.” All the best writers on Chemis- d and hardened liver.” An-| try: all the eminent medical writers as- place with the most destructive And when it is diffused through- ow slight an attack of dis- because the vi- That on which the physician must depend for success is wanting, and there is no way to restore it. The blood is unfit to stimulate the heart, and this mortal frame must go to ruin, while its immortal inhab- not released by old age, nor by of the powers of life, without any violent symptoms ; an indefinable feeling of ill- ness, failure of strength, feverishness, want of sleep, an aversion to food, drink, and other enjoyments of life, dropsy gen- erally closing the scene, with black mil- liary eruptions and convulsions, or colli- quative perspiration and purging. Now this was invented on purpose to take life by gradually undermining and sapping the fortress of health. But do not the drinkers of ardent spirits and “ those who tarry long at the wine,” carry on their murderous designs with just as much cer- tainty as those Italian proficients in the art of slow poisoning ? Their very breath is tainted: any one who bas been much in the vicinity of such persons, knows that their breath smells as if it came from pu- trid animal matter, or had passed over it. And the fetid breath is one of the most marked signs of the existence of this poi- son in the system. We know it will be said that itis a slow poison indeed becanse Mr. A. and Mr. B. have used it all their lives, and are now old men. But this proves nothing to the contrary of our position. It proves only that they had strong constitutions that have resisted the effects of the poison so long: but they might have lived longer, and have enjoyed better health without it. And how many during the time that they | have continued to hold out, have gone to the grave in the morning of life or in the vigor of their days? And perhaps kept in countenance by their example, and hoping that they could stand it too? But they could not. Every physician knows that sometimes the stomach will digest poisons; and there have been men that could digest almost any substances that they could get into the stomach, even to jack-knives and flints; but it is not safe forevery one totry theexperiment: where one could successfully perform such feats, a million probably would kill themselves. A man in Constantinople is said to have practised swallowing corrosive sublimate for thirty years, increasing the quantity until he tock a drachm daily, with impu- nity. And suppose the country, or the world could produce many such cases, would it prove that corrosive sublimate was not a poison, but could be used with safety ? One medical writer says he has known a person who accustomed himself to take arsenic till he could take ten grains daily with impunity. But is arsenic not a poi- son then? Will you make it an article of diet, and give it to your children for food ? A lady was known to swallow 12 ounces of laudanum in 24 hours, and enjoyed ap- parent good health; but can every one do the same? It is unsafe to reason from such extreme cases: they are contrary to the general current of facts: where one has escaped injury from the use of Alco- hol, ten thousand have died. One emi- nent physician says, “ We have irrefrag- able proof that spirit is a poison of the very same nature as prussic acid, produc- ing the same effects by. the same means: paralyzing the muscles of respiration, and so preventing the necessary change of black into vermillion blood.” Mr. Brodie proved by experiment on animals that alcohol and prussic acid were similar in their effects. Five hundred eminent me- dical men testified to a similar statement before a committee of the British Parlia- ment. Forty-five of the same profession in Ohio say “It is equally poisonous with arsenic, operating sometimes more slowly, but with equal certainty.” MEDICUS. Gen. Shields on the Wilmot Proviso.— The Vicksburg (Miss.) Whig announces, upon the authority of Gen. Quitman, Go- vernor, elect of Mississippi, that General Shields is not a Free Soiler, or in favor of the Wilmot Proviso. In a letter to Gen. Quitman the Illinois Senator says, to charge him with proviso views “is a vile slander of his enemies.” What say the members in the Illinois Legislature to this? We hope General Shields has not been playing the Brown Game over again and toa successful is- | isue. But if there be any truth in the a- | bove he certainly has put a northern face to his constituents, and a southern one to his southern friends.— NV. Y. Express.

My design was, to ‘pfe-’ sent thie Road from Salisbury to the ‘weal hee an extension of our Central Road; as the méia’ stem of a general system, worthy of the soblest efforts of a great State—leaving all the aeces- sary branches to be constructed by individaal’ or private enterprise. This extension, in com. nection with other Roads already chartered, would serve directly all the great interests ta’ the State, and to some extent, every portion of her citizens. It would also open much the nearest connection with Kentucky apé@ithe- North-western States, and as near aleo with Knoxville and the “ far West,” for Chartesten,: Norfolk, and the Ports of our State, as aay’ practicable route connecting with our Rail Road at Salisbury. Should this conase-: tion be made with the Central Rail Read at Major Rufus Reid’s near Davidson College, the system would be stil! more perfeet. The travelling intercourse between our State and the West and North.west, would be united’ upon our own Roads—to which may be added the immense travel between our Federal City and the South-west, especially so long as Vire ginia refuses @ connection through the Valley, with Winchester. In regard to Freight, this route would pose sess equal or superior advantages to any in the Southern States, especially if extended to beds ington, Kentucky, where it would form a gene eral connection with the North. west, and a con< tinuous and tolerably direct line, passing throagty every variety of climate and production in the United States. A highly commercial inter- change of commodities would thue be created, and new life and energy infused on the very: day that the contracts shall be let. Passing too, through a large section of country posses« sing superior advantages in climate and water power for some manufacturing purposes — &e bounding in stone coal, plaster and salt, ateo in inexhaustible supplies of iron ore, pronounced by men of science equal to any yet discovered, and superior to any other on the American Continent. All these elements of wealth would serve to swell the tide of commercial and gene eral prosperity. By referring to a good map, it will be seen that this plan will carry out, in effect, the chere ished plan of our own distinguished and lamente ed Dr. Joseph Caldwell ; also, the original dee sign of the Charleston and Cincinnati Rail Road, with greater advantages to our State ; also, the design of the General Government, ia 1831, in ordering the survey of a Read from Portsmouth, on the Ohio river, to the South- western extremity of Linville Mountain, in N. Carolina, for the construction of which the House of Representatives, in 1846, instructed a Committee to enquire into the expediency of making an appropriation. The failure of these projects was manifestly attributable to difficulties which do not exist im the plan proposed, and which have unfortunate. ly discouraged further efforts. The line from Portsmouth to Linville, surveyed by Lieut. Cul. S. H. Long, Topogrophical Engineer, in 1836, was perhaps the most impracticable that could have been selected, fur uniting the interests of the Southern and North-western States, passing as it did through the roughest portion of Ken- tucky and North Carolina, and almost direetly across the mountain ranges of Virginia and Tennessee, the passes through which Col. Long describes as “ nof presenting any tolera- ble coincidence with the line of the contemplated Road.” His description of almost the whole route is unfavorable, excepting his allusions te the fertile valleys in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee, and a flattering no. tice of Clinch and Holstein Rivers—which he says, “are to be regarded as channels of tn- calculable importance, whether viewed in cote nection with our present project, or in refere ence to their future high destination, which ene sures to one of their valliee, at least, the dis tinction of becoming hereafier a portion of the great thoroughfare, connecting by the most dic rect, easy, safe and practicable route betweea the Cities of New York and New Orleans.—- Although the difficulties and expense of rendere ing these streams navigable or even hopeless, yet no doubts are entertained, that the facilities aflurded by their valleys fur the construction of Rail Roads, are such as to ensure, in all hue man probability, the eventful accomplishment of the latter.” | Precisely through these “fertile valleys” of , North Carolina and ‘Tennessee. the Road now { | proposed is designed to run; and the passes through the mountains do present a remarkable coincidence with the direction of this route.—~ | Passing smoothly bet ween the South and Brushy mountain ranges, at some point in the valley of ‘the Catawba, and through the Stone and Irom | mountain ranges alung the banks of Watauga river, to its junction, with the Tennessee and Virginia Rail Road, I belicve there is no very serious obstable in the way, except the Blue Ridge, at the John’s River gap; and there i¢ much reason to believe that this can be more easily passed than any other gap of the Blae Ridge in the State. By the junction alluded to, the connection with Knoxville will be come pleted. Leaving the Virginia and Tennessee Rail Road at some point above Knoxville, aad following the survey of the Charlotte and Cime cionati Rail Road, (or possibly a nearer route) | the connection with Lexington may be alev completed. | [t does appear clear to my mind, that this plan would be one of the greatest importanes ‘to the welfare of the States of North Carolina, | ‘Tennessee and Kentucky—one of vital conse. ‘quence to the Rail Road interests of each— | and a strong bond of union!—a bond which might prove to be the true “ Keystone” in the ‘arch of this great Republic, and ecuable thess three States to say with united voice to ultrag, North and South: “thus far shall ye goand po further !” | As this project is truly national in its char. | acter, anda similar one (of far less importance ) has been recognised as such, by the General Government; we might with justice and pro- priety appeal to ber for aid: But shall it be said that these three great States are unequal to the task, with their own best interes State pride—and a lofiy patriotism to sina them!

THE SOUTHERN CONVENTION, The more we reflect upon the course pur- sued by certain persons in this matter, the more are we disposed to be astoni-hed at thein, The subject of holding the Southern Conven tion, is the most important that ever presented | itselfto a Virginia Legislature.

And for what purpose is this power (bus delegated! Why, says one gentle. man, he of Amelia, to save the Union! In! other words, the Legislature of Virginia is told | by the member from Amelia, that the Union is in imm‘nent danger of dissulution. Upon | his authority, forgetting that he has been fore- | telling the dissolution of the Union for the last 17 years, as father Miller threatened to burn up the world, they are requested to delegate the whole sovereign power of the State to nine- | teen men, without once ashing the people, to | whom we had supposed the right of approving or rejecting the Convention belongs, one word aboui it. ‘They are desired to tell them, “ we mean to have the Convention any how, and you may send members to it, or not, a3 yon think proper.

From the Union, 12th January. “ Let us survive the storm which is now | raging before us, and our Union may be- | come immortal—the most glorious fabric | of political institutions which the world has ever bebeld. But there is danger of its being shaken in this shock of sectional interests, and this whirlwind of the pas- sions. Let the ship but weather this tem- pest, and it may defy every breaker. But this breaker is there. The pilot has not that—We fear you might decide against it, and that would not suit our purposes.” Such is a true interpretation of this resolu. tion ; and as a voter, we for one, protest against an usurpation so flagrant. What right have the Legislature, without consulting the people to delegate the sovereign power of the State to nineteen individuals 1 How do they dare to un- dertake such a project, without so much as ask. ing the people, whether they approve of it or nor? It would hare been more respectful to have put the question in a direct form to the people of Virginia at the elections in April. It could | then have been seen whether a majority of | them were in favor of a Southern Convention | or not. There would after their decision, if it | were in the affirmitive, have been ample time | to have elected delegates. If the decision had | been in the negative, as we are sure it would unless the people should know the precise ob. ject of this meeting, it would have dropt. Constituted as this delegation is to be, every body must see that it cannot possibly repre. vent the sentiment of Virginia; and yet our legislators, who, as far as we know have nev.- er heretofore claimed to be sovereign, delegate to it unlimited, sovereign powers, without the | slightest reservation as to instructions!

Come out gentle. men! Tell us what you mean to do with all this tremendons authority, when you get to Nashville. We beg leave to say, that when you speak of holding this Convention in order to sare the Union, your expressions area little too indfinite! You may think, like Mr. Cal. houn tha the on!y way lo eave it, is to destroy it. ft is sheer folly to talk of sending delegates on such an errand, without instructing them.— No one man, or set of men, unless acting under Instructions, ehould be entrusted with so much power. ‘The people must clearly define what | they want, and leave little as possible to the delegate. Above all, the matter involving the delegation of sovereign authority, should be | acted on by the people of the State, in prima. | Ty Conventions, and in their sovereign capaci- | ty. If there isto Le a Convention, we wish to see Virginia represented by her highest tal. ent. Under this smuggling process, it will all fall into the lands of a few small men, such as are employed to di the oidinary legislation of th: State.

The example of the fast Conventiun to alter the Constitution of Vir. | ginia is before us as we write. The people of Virginia, on that occasion, forgot party distine.

The Enquirer says the slave- holders now lose by runaways to the Free States, some $300,000 annually. What would be the case in the event of a disso- lution? The expense of a military force along the frontier, to be effective, would not fall much short of five millions. This isthe view taken by the Abolitionists, which makes them in favor of a dissolu- tion of the Union. Men, who set them- selves up as the exclusive champions of the South, ought to view the matter in all its bearings ! While we are prepared to throw out of view mere questions of pecuniary interest, when the honor, the equality and the sov- ereignty of any of the States are involv- ed; we would not make ninnies of our- selves and sacrifice both interest‘and hon- or.

KENTUCKY AND THE UNION.

On the contrary, the instructions giv- en by my orders were that all measures of do- mestic policy adopted by the people of Califor. nia, must originate solely with themselves ; that while the Executive of the United States was desirous to protect them in the formation of any Government, republican in its character, to be at the proper time submitted to Congress, yet it was to be distinctly understood that the plan of such a Government must at the same time be the result of their own deliberate choice, and originate with themselves, without the interfer- ence of the Executive.

In advising an early application by the peo- ple of these Territories for admission as States, [ was actuated principally by an earnest de- sire to afford to the wisdom and patriotism of Congress the opportunity of avoiding occasions of bitter and angry dissensions among the people | of the United States. | Under the Constitution every State has the right of establishing, and from time to time al- tering its municipal laws and domestic institu. lions, independently of every other State and of | the General Government, subject only to the prohibitions and guaranties expressly set forth inthe Constitution of the United States. The suljects thus left-exclusively to the respective States, were not designed or expected to become topics of national agitation. Still, as, under the Constitution, Congress bas power to make all needful rules and regulatpns respecting the Territories of the United States, every new ac- quisition of Territory bas led to discussions on the question whether the system of involuntary | servitude, which prevails in many of the States, should or should not be prohibited in that ‘Ter. ritory. “The periods of excitement from this cause which have heretofore occurred have been safely passed, but during the interval, of what. ever length, which may elapse befure the ad- mission of the Territories ceded by Mexico as States, it appears probable that similar excite- ment will prevail to an undue extent.

Z. TAYLOR. A VERY PRETTY QUARREL. The defeat of Forney, the Locofoco Candidate for Clerk of the House of Rep- | resentatives, has provoked a very pretty quarrel] between our Abraham Venable (the silent.) and Burke of the Union.— Abraham lays the blame upon the North- ern Democrats. and says that Forney was in fact defeated six days before. apparent to all (pursues the namesake of the Patriarch.) that Mr. Campbell, ‘who had been once dropped by his party, would | be dropped again, and that the result must | be the election of a free soiler over Mr. Forney. It was impossible that he could | be elected.” But the Union is not satisfied with all | that the Father of the Faithful can say, | and lays it on to him in fine style for about | acolumn. He digs Mr. Venable under | the fifth rib with remorseless cruelty. He | tells him, that Forney was the nominee of | the caucus—that it was the duty of every Democrat to vote for him ’till he was with- | | drawn—that the Northern Democrats, be- | hind whom Mr. V. takes shelter, “ did not | vote for and elect a Whig”—and that | therefore, this was a mere subterfuge ! We agree with Abraham in his conclu- sion, that he was elected by his “ Constit- vents for a higher purpose than to con- sume the time of the whole people in a bootless struggle for a paltry office, pro- still think, that it was my duty to endeavor to put it in the power of Congress, by the admis- sion of California and New Mexico as States, to remove all occasion for the unnecessary agila- tion of the public mind. | It is understood that the people of the west- ern part of California have formed a plan of a State Constitution, and will soon submit the | same to the judgment of Congress, and apply. for admission as a State.

Manly either to convene the Legislature, or issue a Proclamation to the People of the State, in view of the portentious aspect of affairs. It prefers that the Legislature should be convened, in or- der that it might appoint Delegates to the con- templated Nashville Convention ! This is all sheergammon. Ifthe “ Standard” really desires any such thing, we venture to say that it stands almost “solitary and alone.” Ifthe question of convening the Legislature for any such porpose were submitted to the Peo. ple of North Carolina, to-morsow, it would hard. ly command fifiy votes in any one county in the State.

One of _ these statements is now current, and well Avy attempt to deny to the people of think injuriously so. It is, that the whole stock has been taken. We are satisfied. however, that this is not true: we know | tain that this is all. Twelve more shares / must therefore be taken before the last | organization of the company. That these | twelve shares will be taken, we are mor is the question. Will the Eastern section of the State, which is so vitally interested B in the work, still hang back and wait for the West still to strain and struggle with the burden? We tell them once more that not much more can be done in this region. We now commit the residue of the work to Raleigh and the East, We do not say that we mean to give op if nahey sha)! fail to do their part, but we say | for the present, they cannot expect ustogo | further ; and if they are ungenerously re- | solved to throw more of the burden upon _our shoulders, it will occasion a delay | which may prove unpropitious to the final issue. We hear that the Commissioner to whom the reports are ordered to be made call a meeting of the Stockholders at once and leave the completion of the subscrip- place on that occasion. We protest dec dedly against such a course. That will either devolve the remainder of the task upon the 88 who have gone into the work, or at least upon the West; and we have already said enough to make known our opinion, that the Eastern counties on the route ought to take the remainder of the stock. There ought at least an opportu nity be given to put the alternative te them distinctly, and when they have in gloriously refused to participate equita- bly, (if such should unfortunately be the case.) we will again appeal to the West to come to the rescue. We therefore ad- vise and adjure the citizens of Raleigh and Wilmington and the East to make one determined effort, and al! will be well. Petersburg and Norfolk should al- so understand that there is a crisis in the matter, and that a little help from them 'might put the undertaking out of peril. Surely such an appeal will not be fruit- less!! Can they contemplate the action of the small county of Cabarrus and wit ness the spirit expressed in their Resola- tion published in this paper, without feel- ing the keen edge of rebuke for their tar: diness and indifference? Can they view the magnanimous action of the people of Rowan, Davidson and Guilford, without experiencing a sensation of shame at the contrast with their own course? D> The Raleigh Register noticing tbe several nominations of candidates for Go vernor which have been made in differ ent parts of the State, holds the following language: “ Now, with all due deference to the claims of these gentlemen, who have been nominated, and the wishes of their respective personal and political friends, we would suggest that this is all wrong.” And the editor then proceeds to show that these various nominations must have the effect of weakening distracting the party, and admonishes the Whigs to forbear making nominations but patiently to await the action of the Whig State Convention. We will blame any one for acting on the sugs’’ tion of the Register. But we really biok the editor ought to have added to bis Pre cept, the force of his own example.

COMMUNICATIONS. For the Watchman. Messrs. Eprrors—I was the greater part of last week in Concord, and I write you this Hasty sketch to give you some idea of the spirit that pervade the people of Cabarrus on the subject of the Central Rail Road.— There was an adjourned meeting of the Convention held there some weeks ago, to take place on Tuesday. A large number of the citizens of the County were in at- ~“ | tendance, notwithstanding the high waters and bad _toads; and I soon gathered from the tone of all classes that Cabarrus was fully aroused, and would do her part in the crisis of this great enterprise. The Convention ; was addressed by Messrs. Jones aad Osborne, two zeal- ous laborers in the good cause, and as soon as the cheering ' that followed their addresses had subsided, the President announced the formation of “an additional company of the one hundred.” The excitement and enthusiasm seeined to receive a stimulus from this announcement, and in a very short time the President proclaimed the formation of “ another company of the one hundred, be- ing eight for Cabarrus,”—taking occasion to congratulate his countymen upon their liberal subscription, but re- | marking that “although Cabarrus had done well, she could still do more, and he felt safe in pledging her for The convention now adjourned un- On Wednesday a scene took place in the Court House which would have been ludicrous to the view of a dis- passionate observer. We were trudging along with the docket in a quiet orderly way—the legal gentlemen ex- hibiting a listlessness that told you the Docket was mea- gre, and fees not very flush—the Special Court looking grave and dignified, (as Special Courts always do, or should do) —the Sheriff at intervals of about five minutes, crying out with a healthy pair of lungs, ‘“ silence” /— Just at this juncture, when the dignity of the Court was particularly imposing, not to say oppressive, Col. Cole- man glided into the bar, and addressing the Court, de- sired that they would suspend business for a few mo- ments to afford him an opportunity to announce the completion of the ninth company for Cabarrus, expressing | the hope that the Court would not consider it disrespect- ful or irreverent, if they “cheered a little,” simultane- ously rapping a bench, which was heartily responded to by every one present. The Court was broken up, not “in a row,” but was snowed under and merged for the time in the absorbing excitement on the subject of the Road. The Convention now re-assembled; and a call, I think, for the fourth time, was made on Mr. Osborne for a speech. I had supposed that this gentleman had | exhausted both himself and the subject, but it seemed as if his previous efforts had only served to raise him to the proper pitch of enthusiasm for true eloquence, for I cer- tainly never have listened to a more eloquent or patri- otic speech. menced by deprecating his unfortunate position, saying, and I felt there was no affectation in the remark, “ that he never liked to follow the gentleman who had just spoken.” I experienced some nervousness myself for Rowan, being perfectly conscious that another speech in the same style, at that time, must prove a failure,— my apprehensions were, however, idle. Our friend of Co- mo, was equal to the occasion, and gave us one of his best—replete with practical good sense, humor and an- ecdote, leaving his auditory instructed and delighted.— Besides the new companies I have mentioned, there is a considerable amount subscribed by individuals, making the total for the County, about eighty thousand dollars ; and, sirs, I should not be at all surprised if this amount is raised to $100,000 in a week. E. For the Watchman. Rail Road Convention in Concord. An adjourned meeting of this Convention was again held in the Court House on the 23d in- stant. ‘The President made a few remarks, af. ter which the Convention was severally ad- dressed by Messrs. Osborne and Jones, Dar. gan, and Barringer. Great enthusiasm was evinced by the audience, whilst the speakers paid old Cabarrus a profusion of compliments. On this occasion, two additional companies were reported and entered on the “big list,” making in all, nine companies of the “ bun- dred” for little Cabarrus. Several of the speakers remarked, that considering her size, Cabarrus was unquestionably the “ banner” county of the State. The following resolution was unanimously Mr. Jones was again called on: he com- | adopted : Resolved, That we, the citizens of Cabarrus, in Convention assembled, hail with joy the hap. | py conclusion which seems to await this glori- ous undertaking. We congratulate ourselves that we have been able to give so good an earn. est of our devotion to the work; we think we might be well excused from further exertion in filling the subscription to the capital stock, but we declare, that sooner than it should fail, we will do more still to ensure its success.

Writing is most easily executed by the combined ac- tion of all the joints, of the arm, hand, and fingers.— According to this system, it seems to be a grand object to give the pupil a bold and free use of the pen, by in- structing him as to the proper movement of the arm and hand, as well as the fingers. What is called cramped writing, it is believed by the advocates of this system, arises in a great measure from the arm remaining sta- tionary on the desk, while the fingers inake a coustrain- Is order to reduce my stock of CLOTHING semech as possible before Spring, I am determined to offer greater inducements than have ever before been.offered in this Market.

It consists of 20 or 22 Acres, uncleared. There is some good timber on it, and a large quantity of fire wood ; and its nearness to Town, where there is a never failing demand for wood, makes it much more valuable, than richer land situated at a greater distance off. The soil is not of the first quality. But the location compensates for its deficiency in this respect; and the hand of industry could soon make it one of the most desirable places for a residence. The subscriber would also remind the public that as the great Central Rail Road project is now looked upon as successful be- yond a doubt, every inch of land, especially near this Town, must soon be greatly enhanced in value ; and those who wish to obtain such property there, should lose no time in doing so.

Forget not the dead, who have loved, who have left us, | Who bend o’er us now from their bright homes above, | But believe—never doubt—that the God who bereft us Permits them to mingle with friends they still love. Repeat their fond words, all their noble deeds cherish Speak pleasantly of them who left us in tears— Other joys may be lost, but their names should not perish While time bears our feet through the valley of years. Dear friends of our youth! can we cease to remember The last look of life and the low-whispered prayer ? O, cold be our hearts as the ice of December, When Love's tablet records no remembrances there ! Then forget not the dead, who are evermore nigh us, Still Hoating sometimes to our dream-haunted bed ; In the loneliest hour—in the crowd—they are by us; Forget not the dead—O, forget not the dead!

The head was stack upon a: | pole, around which they all assembled. ‘The headless, | and bleeding body was then thrown into their midst, wher they seized it and dismembered it, and cut it into ‘small pieces,—each one, men, women, and children— ‘holding palpitating fragments, while they yelled and danced with diabolical rejoicings around the ghastly | monument of their savage croelty. They then bore the _reeking head to the Iowa village, where they held a ' feast and danced. The Iowas were invited to their vil- lage on the 19th, to have a great feast. On the morn- ing of that day, the Sacs and Foxes and Jowas, of all ages and sexes, had mei upon the prairie, preparatory to “the approaching festivity, and all were in great glee | when they moved off in wild and confused procession to ‘the scene of rejoicing. In the meantime, information had been conveyed to Col. Vaughan of what was going on and he despatched a runner to Fort Leavenworth for a detachment of dragoons, who arrived on the morning of the 19th, just as the wild concourse were proceeding As the Indians were ascend- pectedly to the Indians, who surprised and alarmed, scampered away in every possible direction. The dra- goons pursued them to the village, and went to the wig- wam of Ne-saw-a-quet, and demanded the murderers. They then seized Ne-saw-a-quet, at the instance of Colonel Vaughan, to hold until the murderers were delivered up. In a very short time they were broughi in by a party of ‘the braves, and bound and taken to the fort.” Sixty bills are to be brought before the ensuing Par- liament for new railway lines in England.

The offer of course was refused.

The whites, though armed, made no resistance. Had they shown the slightest resolution, they eould have saved her. She was taken to the vil- lage.

Goods, which is large, well selected and bought | He is prepared to | execute all orders in his line | long experience in the art of | part.of the globe for their extraor- dinary and immediate power of restoring perfect health to persons suffering under nearly every kind of decease to which the human frame is liable. IN MANY THOUSANDS of certificated instances, they have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of an untimely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the day had ut- terly failed; and to many thousands they have rmanently secured that uniform enjoyment of health, wi which life itself is but a partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy inva- riably and infallibly proved, that it has appeared scarcely less than miraculous to those who were acquainted with the beautifully philosophical prin- ciples upon which they are compounded, and upon which they consequently act. It was to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs and channels of life, and enduing them with re- newed tone and vigor, that they were indebted for their name. ; Unlike the host of pernicious quackeries which boast of vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MEDI- are purely and solely vegetable ; and con- tain neither , nor Antimony, nor Arse- ic, nor any other mineral, in any form whatever. They are entirely composed of extracts from rare and powerful plants, the virtues of which, th long known to several Indian tribes, and recently to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto- gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science ; and were never before adminis- tered in so happily efficacious a combination. The first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudities constantly settling round them ; and to remove the hardened feces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medi- cines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind to produce habitual Costive- ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden Diarrhea with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists who examine the human bowels after death; and hence the preju- dice of these well-informed men against the quack medicines of the age. The second effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder ; and, by this means, the liver and lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and lungs, before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. The following are among the distressing variety of human diseases in which the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES are well known to be infal- lible : DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating a flow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind ; FLATULENCY, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn, Headache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor, and Melancholy, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a natural consequence of its cure. Costiveness, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without violence: ali violent purges leave the bowels costive within two days. Diarrhea and Cholera, by removing the sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative secre- tion of the mucous membrane. Fevers of all kinds, by restoring the blood to a regular circulation, through the process of perspe ration in such cases, and the thorough solution ot all intestinal obstruction in others. The Lire Mepicines have been known to cure RHEUMATISM permanently in three weeks, and GOUT in half that time, by removing local inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of the joints. in almost every Dropsies of all kinds, by freeing and strength- ening Ae kidneys and bladder: they operate most delightfully on these important organs, end hence have ever been found a certain remedy ‘or the worst cases of GRAVEL. Also Worms, by dislodging from the, turnings of the bowels the slimy matter to which these creatures adhere. Asthma 22d Consumption, by relieving the air- vessels of the lungs from the mucous which even slight colds will occasion, and which, if not re- moved, becomes hardened, and produces these dreadful diseases. Scurvy, and Inveterate the perfect purity which these LJFE CINES give to the blood, and all the humors. , Scorbutic Eruptions «od Bad Complex- ions, by their alterative effect upon the fluids that feed the skin, and the morbid state of which occa- sions all eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy, and other disagreeable complexions. The use of these Pills for a very short time will effect an entire cure of SALT RHEUM, anda striking improvement in the clearness of the skin. COMMON COLDS and INFLUENZA will always be cured by one dose, or by two even in the worst cases. PILES. As aremedy for this most distressing and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES deserve a distinct and emphatic It is well known to hundreds in this a that the former proprietor of these valu- able Medicines was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwards of THIRTY-FIVE YEARS ; and that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of the Materia Medica. He however at length tried the Medicine which is now offered to the public, and he was cured ip a very short time, after his recovery had been pro- nounced not only improbable, but absolutely im- possible, by any human means. FEVER AND AGUE. For this scourge of the western country these Medicines will be found a safe, speedy, and certain remedy. Other medicines leave the system sub- Ject to areturn of the disease—a cure by these medicines is permanent—TRY THEM, BE SA- TISFIED, AND BE CURED. Bilious Fevers and Liver Complaints. General Debility, Loss or Arretitz, snp Diseases or Fema these medicines have been used with the most beneficial results in cases of this description :—Kine's Evin, and Scroruna, in its worst forms, yields to the mild yet powerful action of these remarkable Medicines. Niaut Sweats, Nervous Desitity, Nervous Comp.aints of all kinds, Paverration or tHe Heart, Painter’s Cotic, are speedily cured. MERCURIAL DISEASES. Persons whose constitutions have become im- paired by the injudicious use of Mercury, will find these Medicines a perfect cure, as they never fail to eradicate from the system all the effects of Mercury infinitely sooner than the most powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla. A single trial will place them beyond the reach of competition, in the estimation of every patient. ~ BE CAREFUL OF COUNTERFEITS.

The mayor and aldermen fol- lowed suit. The barristers laughed while their wigs became bald and powderless ; nay, even the poor prisoners in the dock, who were tobe put upon their trials, and some of them undergo transportation, could not refrain from joining in the gen- eral cachinnation? And when the recor- der commanded the High Sheriff to bring the court room to order, and intimated, with a half soppressed laugh, that the latter ought to be ashamed of himself for summoning sucha jury, the drollery of this court scene was heightened consider- ably by the quick, ready, and sonorous : ‘ . _. | we are satisfied that if any unseemly alterca- But the crowning joke of this waggish | tion has occurred between British and Ameri- officer occurred at the summoning of his | can agents in Central America, it will not dis- “The tone of the Message is pacific and we learn with pleasure that there is no disposition on the part of the American Cabinet to magni- fy the differences which were supposed at one moment to threaten its relations with the most liberal European powers. ‘The contention with France had originated in the impatience of M.

Many men do not know what filthy compounds, not to say poisonous, they take into their stomachs. In former times 75 or 100 years ago, men who drank ardent spirits were seldom drank ; and what they used did not injure them to that degree that liquor does now ; and here is the secret of it, what is now sold and drank is drugged. And it is not strange that men who drink excessively, die off in a few years. MEDICUS. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.

Mr. Mason had urged this bill in com- pliance with instructions from the legis- Jatare of his State ; but he could scarcely fiqtter himself that this or any law would reach tho difficulty. The evil was, he feared, beyond the reach of remedy.— The legislatures of the Northern States had inflicied a wound upon the constitu- tifa; which, he feared, would prove to be a -vulaus immedicabile. The Northern Séaites were in the habit of committing wanton depredations on property of the Bath. No law could prevent it, unless | Te ’ the States would, by their legislation, aid | the Judiciary be and they are hereby in- ' jn its execution. Mr. Mason proceeded to argue that slevery was recognised in and protected by the constitution. Slave representation wes received, and Jaws against importa- tion of slaves were prohibited prior to) 1808. The fugitive slaves were to be'| given up. The North received equiva- | ciples as an organic law. They received | lents for these guaranties. | equal representation in the Senate, and | gave them advantages in navigation and | cormmmerce. : | He advanced the opinion that the duty of carrying the third clause of the second section of the second article of the Con- atitution into effect, devolvedon the States. It_ was of imperfect obligation. There was no means of compelling the State authorities to furnish legal process for | convicting slaves. The law of 1793 con. templated this construction of the Consti- tation. The law of Connecticut and oth- emStates slenied the right of Congress to impose these obligations on the States.— Tu regard to fugitives from justice, the Northern States have taken no such ground, as all the States were equally concerned.

Therefore, | Resolved by the Senate and Hoose of | Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That as all just power is derived from the consent of the governed, and it is the special duty of the American people to vindicate this great truth, it is hereby declared that the people of every separate community, who do or do not reside in a territory belonging ‘to the United States, possess and have a ‘native and inherent right to frame their _own domestic laws, and to establish their | own local governments, in a}] cases where the provisions of such laws and the cha- racter of such governments do not conflict | with the provisions and limitations of the constitution or the proprietary rights of ‘the General Government. | Resolved, That in order that this ac- 'knowledgment of the people’s rights may | forever remain in force, the Committee on ' structed to prepare and report to the House, ‘territorial extent of each community, a | suitable provision for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, 'which shall engraft on that instrament an explicit declaration of the foregoing prin- Resolved, That the will of the people of the District of Columbia of right ought at all timegto govern the action of Con- gress in relation to the existence of slave- ry within its limits. The States were then called, when nu- merous petitions were presented. When Virginia was called— Mr. Bayly said he had received a peti- tion asking for the establishment of a monarchy. The petition was exceeding- ly well drawn, but believing that Congress had -no power to legislate upon the sub- ject, he declined to present the petition. Mr. Mason, of Ky., on a suspension of the rules for the purpose, introduced a bill granting bounty in land to the officers and soldiers who served their country in the late war with Great Britain. The bill being read twice, Mr. Gorman moved to amend the mo- were alone interested, the Northern States | refused to act.

Av ease arose in Gen. Washington’s ad- ministration, in which the Governor of | Pennsylvania required the Governor of Vitginia to deliver up certain criminals. The Governor of Virginia did not feel authorise! to deliver up the white citizen, without a law, and the act of 1793, was therefore, passed. The remedy in one ease Was the same asin the other. There was bo power in Congress to require an offieerof a State to act; and. therefore, it Was requisite that the State Legisla- torés should pass laws to require their affieers to aid in arresting and delivering ap slaves. “He yas warranted in saying. in this presence, that the |rgislation of the Nor- Abern Siates aided and abetted the depre- daions-ipon property.

Mr. Burt moved further to amend the proposed resolutions so as to include the | officers and soldiers who served in the | Florida war. | The question was taken on the amend- iment of Mr. Burt, to include the Florida epcived in the Union, bat it w nt of low some- r claim te prohibit the stave trade in it, so far as re- garded the slaves brought into, it from other places. It was long’ ago declared by the Senate. that the slaves ought not to be-emancipated: without the .concur- rence. of three conditions—the assent of Maryland, ‘the asseut to-it by owners, and the.compensation to owners, — At The regular slave dealer might goto Alex. andfia; ta. Richmond, orto Norfulk, and it was unnecessary that he should be allowed to rade slaves in view of the: Capitol, and to hav jails for them in sight of the Capitol. ‘This was an abominations and ought to be prevent- ed. . The resolution also provided that fugitive slaves be recovered by adequate owners, and deelared tbat Congress had no power to inter- fere with slavery in the States. These were the results of his deliberate judgement. How far they would be accepta- ble he could not say. The project contained an equal amount of coneession and forbearance on both sides. ‘The South yields more in sub- stance than the North. and larger concessions could have been asked from the North, because it was numerically stronger than the slave States, and because with the North this matter was a sentiment and not a practicable ques- tion. The North made no sacrifice by it, and in- curred no Joss, no peril. The South held a large amount of property, which together with our domestic quiet, were periled by the hostili- ty of the North to this institution of slavery, while the North looked on in safety, regard. leas of the effect of measures which the North had originated. By the agitation of this ques- tion, every thing that rendered it desirable to the Southern people was hazarded. _: Mr. Clay concluded with a solemn warning to Congress not to lend themselves to any pur- pose which endangers the Union. The series of resolutions presentend a plan of accommodation, which he hoped would be considered. He moved they would be post- poned till this day week, and be the special or. der for that day. Mr. Rusk rose to say, that he regretted that the Senator from Kentucky bad, in his lauda. ble zeal to settle a momentous question, made a peace offering of one half of his State, to the spirit of northern encroachment. He would pledge himself, ata proper time, to prove that the rightful boundary of ‘Texas was the Rio Grande. Mr. Foote cordially approved of the spirit of the resolutions of honorable gentleman from Kentucky, but he could not let it be sup- posed that he approved of the doctrines and po- litical views and propositions they contained. He would protest against the more than use- less propositions as to this District of Colum. bia. He wished to take a stronger ground. Mr. Clay explained that the Senator from Texas (Mr. Rusk) had mistaken the limits he proposed. He gave her. a part, not the whole of the Rio Grande boundary. Mr. Mason protested against the assumption that slavery did not, by Mexican law, exist in California and New Mexico. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, declared that he would never consent to take less, as a compro- mise, than the Missouri line—with security for the existence ot slavery south of that line. Mr. King had listened with pleasure to ma- ny remarks of the Senator from Kentucky, but did not concur in all his views. He commend. ed their spirit, and hoped we should direct our minds calmly to some such plan of conciliation. California bad framed ber Constitution irregu- larly. He could not sanction it, when offered, without many modifications. Mr. King stated the position of the south.— He wanted no act of Congress to establish slavery anywhere. He would ae son vote for the Wilmot proviso as for a law to establish slavery. There should be a security that slave. ry shall not be prohibited anywhere by law.— ‘That was what he understood to be the posi- tion of the Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Da- via.) | troops. and decided in the affirmative— | yeas 109, nays 80. The question then recurred on the in- structions of Mr. Gorman, and they were agreed to; and the bill wasthen referred to the committee on public lands. | January 29. SENATE. Alter the presentation of petitions, Mr. Clay rose and offered a series of resolu- tions, which were read as follows: Ist. Provides that California be admit- ted with suitable boundaries, without dic- tation as to slavery. 2d. Slavery does not exist by law, and is not likely to be introduced into the any of these territories acquired. 3d Fixes the boundary of Texas. 4th Makes an offer to Texas of'a sum in consideration of cession of her ter- ritory and relinquishment of her claims to New Mexico. Sth declares that is inexpedient to abol- ish, without the consent of Maryland and the people of the District, slavery in the District—together with compensation for staves. 6th resolves that it is expedient to abol- ish the slave trade in the District so far as brought from otter places. 7th requires provision for the recovery of fugitives. Sih declares that Congress has no power to prohibit the slave trade between the States. . . Mr. Clay explained the resolytions.— After referring te the irregular mode in which California bad formed her State government, and to the propriety of -ad- mitting her as a State, with her own laws, he passed to the-third resolution. Le did not think that: Texas had a claim to-any part of what might be considered ns New: Mexico. He proposed limits which would give Texas three or four large States—limits with which she ought to be satisfied. © ° The second resolution proposed to pay to Texas the amount of advances of*her creditors, for which she had pledged her revenue from imports. The United States, q Mr. Davis assented. The right to hold slaves south of the line 36 deg. 30 min. was what he desired. Mr. Downs said not one person in a hundred inthe South would consider this as any com. promise at all. ‘There was no concession in it from the North. Mr. Clay proposed, he said, to take up these resolutions and vote on each one, and, if pass- ed in the affirmative, to have them referred to the appropriate committee for the preparation of hills. Mr. Berrien did not rise to discuss the reso. lutions. The subject now engaged the atten. tion of the Legislature of bis State. But he did not wish to have it for a momen! understood that the propositions would meet his sanction ; much must be added to them, and they much modified, before he could support them. Mr. Butler said it should be underetood that all compromises heretofore made, were com. promises from the South. He understood that these propositions admitted California, and would not permit the introduction of slavery in- to the territories of New Mexico and Deseret. The slaveholding population ought to be able to go into the territories aed form political com. munities. The only way to settle this question was for the North to suffer the territorial gov. ernments to be established without any provis- ion of slavery. ‘The Senator’s fame was re. eorded on every pillar that formed a part of the edifice of the Union, but he could not longer support il, nor prevent it from tumbling to pie- ces, merely by proposing what is bot in name a compromise. Mr. Clay’s motion was agreed to. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The proceedings: of the House are omitted for wast of room, The principal business of the day was the reception of Reports from Com. mittees on Mileage, whieh give rise to consid. erable debate on that subject. There was al. 80 some discussion on the joint resolution from the Senator for the purchase of the Manuscript ment offered to which resoluion proposes ‘ta timit the price to be paid for the Addrese ta $1,000.

Sentinel gives an ac. count of three children of Mr. Michael Jones, of that place, being in a very singular condi- tion, apparently as if ander mesmeric influence. The editor of the Sentinel has since visited them, and has discovered that they can be tem. porarily relieved by what the mesmerisers term the reveresed passes. One of them has been entirely relieved by his process, but twoof them are still affected, and one is feared will die, as its limbs have beeome perfectly paralized, so as to prevent its walking. ‘lhe father has been compelled to desist operating upon his children, as it has impaired his health very much. It affects his nervous system powerful: ly, and although only operating, occasionally, for a week or ten days past, he has become re- duced in flesh very much. The Sentinel says : “It was truly distressing to see three such interesting and healthy children thus strangely affected. When free from the mesmeric influ. ence, they are very sedate, quiet and modest ; while, on the contrary, when in the mesmeric state, they are extremely insolent and rude to their parents and strangers. Thy take delight in inflicting unmerciful blows upon each other, and at times strike their parents and visilers. “They appear to detight to be asleep, as they term it, during which time they laugh, dance, run, and strive by every means in their power to get out. We took the mesmeric flu- id off of them, probably eight or ‘=n times, which required not exceeding 10 or 30 seconds each time. Any person can relieve them with the reversed passes, provided they are willing othrwise they cannot be awakened. At the time of inditing this, which has been about two hours since last arousing them, we feel a con. siderable relaxation of the nervous system, to- gether with pains inthe head, arms and ex. tremities, which we alone attribute to our hav- ing extracted the nervous fluid from them.” The children assert that a pedlar, who had called at their father’s House, put them in the singular way in which they have since been. The Memory of Children—It is note- worthy that children, whoare taken away by death, always remain in the memory of parents as children. Other children grow old, but the one we lost continues in youth. It looks as we last saw it in health. The imagination hears its sweet voice and light step, and sees its silken bair and clear black eyes—all just as they were.— t original Evils of Intemperance, and_ quote any amount of evidence. ‘We give room, this week, to a commu- nication over the signature of @.Citizen,” A | from this State to the Southern Conven- tion proposed to be held at Nashville, in tJune-next: -We -know the ‘anthor,-and | know. | is he an alarmist, nor ‘one of thos: less men who would agitate the momen- however, speaks for him, and proves all that we have asserted. _ But. we, as individuals, are opposed t the proposed Convention, We are oppes ted to it because we do not.know its ob: ject: becanse we cannot see what good can be done by it, and are apprebensive that it must result in mischief er nothing.

Mr. Clay’s proposition to Compromise | Suggestions which such a Convention as | the one contemplated may make. We | would not have our representatives driven | from propriety by any hasty or inconsid- erate action of their constituents at home. Their rights and interests are identified with ours, and they cannot be less con- cerned than those who may compose the Convention. But chief of all, if we had no other reason, we would oppose the Convention because a large number of those who are expected to compose it, openly advocate a dissolution of the Union, and are insisting that measures shall there be concerted to accomplish that object. We are not ready for that step—the peo- ple are not ready for it ;—and until an ab- solute necessity for it arises, we shall con- tinue to throw our feeble influence both against the measure and men who advo- cate if. That such is the aim of many who are going into this Convention, we might Bat this is not necessary. We will content our- selves, therefore, with a single extract from a paper published in our own State, whose editor has figured it out, and finds that there is no other but this one desper- ate remedy. From the Wilmington Aurora. Tue SournHern ConvenTion.—We have watched with the deepest feeling the action of various sections of the South with reference to this meeting. It is pretty certain now that all the South will, be represented at Nashville, Tennessee. The object of the Convention, if we under. stand it, is for the ablest men of the South to consult, concerning the present posture of af. fairs, North Carolina has appointed no delegates yet. There probably lurks in the public mind | some apprehension of disunion. Allow itto be so: what of it? Three valuable slaves have recently escaped from this port tothe North. Ten or twenty years may go by; the: child remains in the memory as at first, a | bright happy child. Its young and beau. | tiful form moves before us; and what is | such a memory but an angel presence ? | Certainly, next to seeing an angel, is see- | ing, with a passionate heart, such a cher- | ished form. Amidst this world of ambi- tion and show, who shall say that this is not a means under Providence of subdu- ing and spiritualising the mind? in order to cherish such a remembrance, we are at times willing to turn even from the charms of the living. The sigh be- comes sweeter than the song. Sorrow subdued becomes a friend, and sacred joy is mingled with hours of holy recollection. { she seems to pass through a transforma. tion. The convulsive agony changes to passive sorrow, and querulous misgivings in quiet meditations. There must be dis- tress; let then, the gushing tears flow, for it is the course of nature ; but even with faith, the hope of our holy religion. For “Such a hope, like the rainbow, a being of light, May be born like the rainbow, in tears.” GEORGIA.

Next day, Phil found him looking over the library for 4S RalBinigepa ries Rigen ofthe N.

Salisbury, Nov. 15, 1849 NEW FALL x WINTER GOODS. oO BROWN & ELLIOTT RE now receiving their stock of Fall and Winter 28 pared with nut-gall, he strolled out into the fields to take an airing before the morning ser- vice. Afier walking about ‘for an hour, he turned bis steps towards the College, deeply pondering in bie mind if Raffingeparfer could be correct. By this time the nut gall bad ta- ken-effect-on his eomplexion, he. had gone through all the different stages of negrodom— | very light yellow—mush and molasses, a dark cherry—a light walnut color—and now was in the last stage, a confirmed darkee. He had not got fifly yards towards the Col- lege, when he met the daughters of one of the professers, Toward one of these ladies he had a kind of sofiness ; though it had never existed as yet, save in looks. Imagine, then how astonished he was to see them cross over the road as he came towards them, and now made one of his captivating bowa, to have no notice taken of his polite salute, and to hear one of them remark : “I declare, sis, if that negro man did mot bow to ue; I wonder what the impudent fellow means ?”’ No doubt old Priam was astonished to hear that Troy was on fire and none of the b’hoys ready to pat it oul, Cwsar was rather astonish. -ed when he saw Brutus advancing to tickle him under the ribs. Mr. Macheth has been séen to express considerable surprise, and just- ly so, to see that dagger in the hair,” as our friend Dobb says, but the essence of their astonishment added together, could not equal the sum total of Morris, when be heard him- self called a negro. The Raffinsparfer was right, Phil was not joking, it was a stern and indubitable trath, he wasa nigger; the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth burst on his mind at once with such overwhelming power, that he had to ;eateh bold of a post to support himself. The | next moment it struck him it might be a joke and that he wasnet black. With the speed of lightning, he staried forthe College, along the lurnpike, through the lane, and into the college he dashed like a four year old Mazeppa, bis speed considerably accelerated by some fond mother’s future ragged “ hope” shouting after him, “ Go it, darkey, I'll hold your hat!” No sooner had he entered the hall of the College, than the dreadful truth wag but too ev- ‘ident for him to doubt. In a mirror on the wall he saw the reflection of his face, which was by this time a beautiful jet black, The scream winter's digh ‘to see a sick female, and afier pray Sag for two or three miles through the Ow in the woods, to declare that he must be mistaken, Nut such a joker was Phil Waters, -but = nice, quiet, unobtrusive, modest young tan, that wouhl bave passed muster among a host of ministerial candidates, Phil had studied | GBemie try, vod it was his special delight1o form Mtr pad waich ile chemical effect on his de- *eted victim. far from Phil's paternal mansion was ; the B-—— Abademy, of, asthe villag. weg called it, “the College.” Among the stu- denteaf which number Phil was one—at the was a young man from North Caro. lina, named Morris Kenny, who bad. imbibed his mother aig @ strung aversion to a man,. 40 -bim a“ nigger” was b.

In its ineffable wisdom it has discovered that the ultraism of both the South and North —of the disunionists and the Garrison ab- olitionists—is all a plot concocted by Pres- ident Taylor’s Cabinet ; the issue of which is to be that when the extreme pvint has been reached by both parties and the whole country is convulsed, then Presi- dent Taylor is to step in with a grand Union proclamation, organise a grand Union party, and carry all before him in a universal proxism of Union zeal, Union firmness, Union wisdom and Union patri- otism ! Such inconceivable balderdash is thrown out by the New York Herald, as if in very scorn of the folly that makes so many peo- ple read the Herald, and put faith in its gasconading.— New York Commercial. We believe this is not the “thunder” of that unprincipled paper the N. Y. Herald, but of the Washington Union, which has been harping on the theme for some time tion, and secured in iron closets, before which tapers perpetually burn—nails which pierced the Redeemer’s hands—the Jance that pierced his side—the sponge that was filled with vinegar—portions of the cross on which he hung—the vestment that had no steam—the purple robe— ieee from the crown of thorns—the jirgin’s veil and Joseph’s staff—Peter’s pair and the tooth of Paul.

Witness the foliowing, one of sev- eral similar paragraphs recently in the Union. (The italics are the Union’s.) “Thus does it appear—and we invoke the American people to note the fact— that the cabinet, in concert with a well | known abolitionist, one of its confidential | leaders in the Senate, is concerned in a plot, | first, to foment the anti slavery excitement ‘of the North to such a pitch as to produce | reaction ut the South to such an extent as 'may demonstrate itself in attempts to se- | cede from the Union. in order to give Gen- | ce eral Taylor and the cabinet an opportunity Union flag, call its party the Union party, and thus rescue itself. “from in- evitable defeat and prostration, which must be its fate, if it cannot be saved by some such desperate and dangerous experiment. This is the infamous—aony the treasonable and criminal—plan of the administration, as unfolded by the Geddes resolutions and the Thurlow Weed letter.” How wretchedly devoid of principle | must be the men who charge the admin- istration of such a-patriot as Gen. Taylor with such a horid plot; and how devoid. of sense to suppose that anybody will be- lieve so vile an imposture.— Fayetteville Observer. Mr Clingmans Speech.—We gave in our last, the fullest sketch we had then seen of this speech. It has since come to hand at length and asit is well understood to have been prepared with much delib- eration, delivered after consultation with members entertaining similar opinions, and may be considered as the platform of the ultra South at present, we have cop- ied the most material parts of it. | first page. We take this occasion to say, very em- phatically, that we have no faith in, nor ‘sympathy with, Mr. Clingman’s views of the immense prosperity which is to result to the South from disunion. On the con- trary, we should regard it, if effected. (which God forbid.) as the parent of woes unnumbered and innumerable. A _hun- dred fold increase of the annoy ances from the fanatics. would lead to wars, and instead of a prosperous commerce we should have our trade crippled, anda na- tional debt incurred to support the ex- penses of our army. Instead of the pow- er which as a united nation, is now felt Tarpeian Rock ; cabbages are growing | over half the palaces of the Ceesars ; hors- | and respected over the wide world, we should have two, or more, weak and fee- ble nations, which would find it quite as muci as they could do to keep each oth- ‘er in check, without any surplus force to awe the other nations of the world. No, let us not talk of disunion, as long as there is a hope of avoiding intolerable oppression ; and especially let us not de- _lude the southern people intoa belief that it will be a money making measure.— | Fayetteville Observer. | The Morality of Disunion.—Wm. Lloyd | Garrison sent a letter to the Abolition Conven- tion in New York last week, in which he urged that “the time has come to preach disunion, on the highest moral and religious grounds. ‘The ‘constitution of the United States is a govern. | ment with death and an agreement with hell.’ In the name of God, of Christ, of humanity, of | see. : them to desire the adoption of such a “ mode ot | ted by all who revere God, love Christ, regard esistance” as will inevitably lead to a dissolu- | liberity, it must be denounced and repudia- humanity, and cherish liberty. It remains to be seen how the people of the North will meet this issue.” The people of the North, says the Philadel- _phia Ledger, will meet it as they always have | done, setting down such sentiments as the rav- ing of political monomaniacs. | | | } | The Union in Georgia. —The Whigs of Wayne county, Georgia, met at their county _ town on the 7th Jan., to nominate a candidate | for Congress in the place of Thos.

Among the resolutions passed by them we find the annexed: * Resolved, That to the Union we have an | undying attachment, as had our immortal Wash- | ington,—and tbat we do not believe that the | people in any section of our vast Republic are | wanting in this noble and patriotic feeling—and | | that with profoundest reverence, sincerity, and | | impertunity, we invoke Heaven to palsy, that | arm and tongue, wherever raised, to provoke , and farther the disunion of the States, and can- , sequent overthrow of the nation,” From the Knoxville Register, of Feb. 2, 1850. THE PROPOSED SOUTHERN CONVEN. TION AT NASHVILLE. The proposed convention seems to attract ve- ry little attention in this state. It has been ad- verted to by a few of the papers, but no assem- blage of the people, far as we are informed, has taken any notice whatever of the proposition, nei- ther has the Legislature of the state. This may seem strange-since the proposition is to hold the convention at Nashville. But our people do not regard the rights of the south as endangered in an eminent degree by the course of the Aboli- tionists. They seem to think and to act upon the thought, that it will be time enough to con- sider the mode and measure of redress, when some palpable outrage upon the rights of the southern states shall have received the sanc- tion of Congress. This is the true position for southern men, and Tennesseeans who are de- votedly attached to the union, will be slow in giving their sanction to any assemblage which may weaken the bonds of our glorious confed- eracy. They will weigh well the consequen- ces before they take action in relation to the matter, and if in their judgment there exists a necessity for the proposed convention, it will certainly receive their cordial sanction ; but, on the contrary, if they are satisfied as to the im- policy of the convention and of the mischief that may grow out of its action, their co-opera- will certainly be withheld. The Nashville Union of the 23d ult., calls upon the Legislature “to take prompt action npon the subject, and let delegates be appoint. ed from all sections of the state, to meet their brethren in the south, and speak in thunder tones the determination of a people ‘ willing to do what is right and submit to nothing that is wrong.’” ‘To this mode of procedure we en. This is a matter for the peo- ple toc onsider and act upon, and not a Legisla- ture that was elected without the slightest re- ference to the subject, and indeed before the convention was proposed. If Tennessee is to be represented in the proposed convention, let the delegates be appointed with the direct con- sent of the people as in Mississippi. Let no movement be taken that may place them ina position they would never occupy by their own The greatest interest at stake is theirs, and hence every thing should be done by themselves, directly or through their properly selected agents. Wire-working politicians and ambitious demagogues are not the men to control a movement, upon the is- sues of which may depend the perpetuity of the union itself. But what is the object of the proposed con- vention? The Mississippi resolutions say, ‘to devise and adopt some mode of resistance to ter our dissent. untrammelled action. See’ the aggressions” of the north upon the south. Well, how is this “ mode of resistance” to be adopted, the object of the convention to unite the public opinion of the south in opposition to the efforts of northernjfanatics? If this is the ‘mode of resistance” to be adopted, the object has been anticipated, for the people of the south are thoroughly united, aud will maintain their right whenever the aggressions of the north become too intolerable to be borne; but not | until then will they adopt a ‘mode of resist- ance” incompatible with their devotion to the union. Is the object of the convention “ to in- dulge in menacing and violent language—to | declaim of fraternal war and bloodshed, and to pass high sounding resolutions? If so, we are opposed to assuming any such vaporing attitude. As tothe feelings of the people of the south up- on this vexed question, the north already knows ‘them. As to threatening the north with what | we will do, that is not the way in which deter. | | mined men, who kuow their rights, are in the J habit of asserting them, and neither is it the | way to operate on the judgment and sense of | | justice of a bold adversary. Our threats of vi- | olence may be treated with disregard and even contempt. Our strength, as yet, is one of mor- al power resting on justice, right, generosity and requirements of fraternal connexion,” and | let us, by all means, retain that power unim. | paired. Is the convention, in adopting a mode | of resistance, to take the initiatory steps toa | dissolution of the union and the establishment ' of a southern confederacy ?

With the uncertainty that exists as to the real objects of the convention, we are opposed to pledging ‘Tennessee | to abide whatever course its members may think pruper to adopt. And, indeed, the public sentiment of the south does not seem to demand the proposed conven- tion. We have an abiding confidence that the rights of the south will be preserved inviolate under Gen. Taylor’s administration. “ Ae EVER DANGRES MAY THREATEN THE UNION, says the President, “I sHALL STAND BY IT AND MAINTAIN IT IN ITS INTEGRITY, TO THE FULL EXTENT .OF THE OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED | AND THE POWERS CONPRRED ON ME BY THE » 1? constitution, is indispensable to the ‘‘integrity” of which President Taylor speaks, and in that pledge the people of the south may rest secure. tions with which slavery is concerned, is now before the country ; and so far as the members of Congress and the people hereabout have expressed any opinion upon it, that opinion is favorable.

Then, again, Mr. Jerrerson Davis, one of the most admitted into the Union.” There is no reason to be- lieve that Mr. Cray will not assent to the line of his own making. Mr. Cray in reply to Col. Davis, said— “T say, sir, in my place here, that it is much better both sides of an imaginary line of 36° 30’ than that with freedom to admit or exclude it soath of 36° 30’ at the will of the people ; and that the proposition I have made is infinitely better for the south than the proposi- tion the Senator has suggested, unless he could persuade Congress, with his proposition, to declare, positively and of 36° 30°.” Mr. Cray supposed the latter alternative, a declara- tion by Congress of a right to establish slavery south of the line to be impossible ; and subsequently, Mr. Wm. R. Kine and Mr. Davis, disclaimed that idea—as they themselves held that Congress had no right to establish or inhibit slavery. What the South claims, is that south of that line slavery shall be inhibited. Mr. Cray was understood to assent to this. In fine, there is no insu- perable obstacle to Mr. Cray’s propositions, so far as torial question be settled, every thing else will follow. I hear many different opinions as to the probability of Mr. Cray's success; but there is scarcely a doubt that his scheme will, in some shape, be sanctioned by the Senate.

No man, whose eyes rests upon the heading of this article, will doubt for a single moment what isthe subject to which, breaking the silence we have hitherto for a long time imposed upon ourselves in regard toit, we are about to ask the atten- tion of our readers. It is one which the mind of the People in nearly all quarters of the country, the Press of every politi- cal cast, the Legislative Assemblies of several States, have for a year or two past been much occupied with. It has acquired in the halls of the Capitol itself such an influence as for a whole month to obstruct the organization of the popu- lar branch of Congress for business, by 43.10 14, the Sc oF Pad : on the gaestion.: The debates. quent. proceedings on the s@uj found in the jsame work;. folio 1239.

In the course of time, the teiteration.of ‘the ? 2 preventing a choice of its officers, and in the Senate as well as in the House of Representatives to have become the all- absorbing topic. The rights and wrongs of the Institution of Slavery, as it exists in several States of this Union, and forms part of the structure of the General Government, have for ma- ny years been suffered to occupy much more than they ought to have done of the time of Congress, considering that it is a relation over which Congress has no ju- risdiction, and could exercise no power beyond that of protecting the rights of the People among whom it exists, and that of prohibiting, after a fixed period, the far- ther importation of slaves in the United States. The subject of existing slavery in the United States has no business in the Halls of Congress. It was first introduc- ed there by harmless enthusiasts, whose amiable weakness led them to interpose in matters beyond their reach, and whose interference was treated with tolerant civility only because it was obviously prompted by a sense of religious obliga- tion, unmingled with any of the dross of interest or ambition. In the First Con- gress after this Government went into operation, the question presented itself, in the shape of memorials to the House of Representatives from the “ Annual Meet- ings of Friends” in New York and Phila- delphia, held in October, 1789, in obedi- ence to a duty which they said they con- sidered incumbent upon them as religious bodies, to attempt to excite the attention of Congress, “ earnestly desiring that the Infinite Father of Spirits might so enrich their minds with his love and truth, and so influence their understandings by that pure wisdom which is full of mercy and good fruits,” as to induce them sincerely and impartially to inquire whether, “ not- withstanding seeming impediments,” they could not “ produce the abolition of the Slave Trade,” meaning the Foreign Slave Trade. These memorials were of course dictated by a zeal without much knowl. edge, the “ seeming impediments,” being the interdiction by the Constitution of the passage of any law, at an earlier period than the year 1808, prohibiting the impor- tation of slaves into the United States.— Though these petitioners were treated with general respect, they did not escape entirely the censure of being intermed- dlers in what did not concern them ; and, even at that day, and on this question, one of the Members from Georgia expressed his apprehension that, “ if, through the ‘interference of the General Government, ‘the Slave Trade were abolished, it would ‘ evince to the people a disposition towards ‘a total emancipation, and they would ‘hold their property in jeopardy ; and that “any extraordinary attention to this peti- ‘tion might bave the same effect,” &c. The memorial and the whole debate upon it may be found in the first volume of the History of the First Congress, beginning at folio 1225. It was only a few days after this that a memorial was presented to the House from “ the Pennsylvania So- ciety for promoting the Abolition of Slave- ry,” &c., (signed by Bens. Franxuin, Pre- sident,) praying to the extent of the most exciting abolition memorial of the present Memorials to Congress to de what. was.not within the power of Congress—that is to say, to interfere with the relation of Sla- very in the States in which it existed when the Constitution was framed ing in from other quarters, and s by other motives, irritated still fartherthe Re- presentatives of the Slaveholding States, drawing forth from them very naturalex- pressions of surprise, complaint, and at last, of indignation, at the pertinacity of the memorialists. Advantage was taken of this sensibility by artful men, .who sought Jo accomplish political and party objects by inflaming the excitement.— They began to pour in Abolition Memori- als in such numbers, under so manndages of aggravation to the feelings of the Sou- thern Members of Congress, and, through the publicity of these debates, to those ef the People of the Southern Statesg as to lead at length to a state of exas i of the public mind of the South, the evi- dence of which has been seen, during the last fifteen years, in the Resolutions of their State Legislatures, and in speeches in both Houses of Congress. speeches, &c. have had the effect to pro- voke further offensive demonstrationsfrom the People of the Nonslaveholding States, and at length from the States themselves, by Legislative acts as well as by expres- sions of sentiment, which it would be ask- ing too much of human nature to require of the People of the South to bear with . submissive patience. The tortoise itself can be excited by heaping coals of fire upon its back. We (the Editors of this paper) have witnessed with great and increasing pain the progress of this hateful contest be- tween the States of the North and of the South—a trial, not exactly which of them could do the other the most barm, but which of them could, from their respec- tive citadels, speed the sharpest missiles, and inflict the greatest wound upon the feelings, convictions, and prejudices of the other. It has been all along plain to us that in this contest of ill-will there are faults on both sides; and, with the regard which we have for what is really respec- table and estimable on either side of Ma- son and Dixon’s line, we could hardly be otherwise than pained in witnessing a strife of a character so detrimental to the public welfare, so injurious to every pub- lic interest, and which bas now veomere so distracting and so disorganizing.. da the position which we occupy, on an isth- mus, as it were, between the North and ‘the South, we have foreseen the danger which might ensue from further exasper- ating this controversy, and we have stu- diously refrained from adding, by any vol- untary act of ours, fuel to the flame. We were well convinced that discussion “of the right or wrong of the crimination‘ahd recrimination which have been indalged in between the statesmen as well as the mere party gladiators of the South atid’ of the North, would only goad them iffto greater excitement, and might drive them to violence, the last argument of rational man. We have, therefore, for years, not only abstained from discussing thesé mat- ters ourselves, but we have excluded from our columns all communications on the subject that have been offered for publi- cation by others. though in decorous terms, by that werthy gentleman, (who afterwards for many years filled the office of Treasurer of the | United States.)

The resolution to which we refer is as follows : * That the inst tution of Slavery in the Sou. + thern States is left, by the Covstitution, exclu- * s.vely und r the control of the States in which 4 it exists, as a part of their domestic yolicy. * which they, and they only, have the right to * regulate, abolish, or perpetuate, as they may * severally judge expedient ; and that all at. ‘tempts on the part of Congress, or others, to * interfere with this subject, either directly or in- ‘directly, are in violation of the Constitution, * dangerous to the rights and safety of the South, *and ought to be promptly resisted.” This is a resolution which, we ventare to say, would be affirmed, with the ex- ception perhaps of the last member of the last sentence, by the Legislature of any State of the line, not packed for the pur- pose of defeating it, right or wrong. The same may be said, with equal truth, of another of these resolutions, expressive of a desire, on the part of the Convention, “to have the Union as it was formed, and not as an engine of oppression.” This Mississippi Convention, however. recommended, as the result of its deliber- ations, that “a Convention of Slavehold- *tng Stutes should be held at Nashville, *in Tennessee, on the first Monday in * June next, to devise and adopt some * mode of resistance to the aggressions of *the Non-slaveholding States,” &c. This movement in Mississippi bas been hailed “ with feelings of lively satisfac- tion,” and its proposition cordially assent- ed to, by the Legislature of South Caro- lina, and Delegates appointed to it, four by the Legislature, and two others order- ed to be appointed from each Congrtes- sional District of that State. Georgia has | followed suit, and Alabama also. Virgi- nia will do so, if her people do not in time reprove the temper exhibited in her Legis- lature, now in session at Richmond ; and even the Legislature of Maryland, sitting almost in sight of Mount Vernon, and in the very Hal! in which the Continental Congress received the resignation by Gen. Washington of his commission at the close of the Revolutionary War—a State bound to the Union by ties of affection and interest, and for the loss of her place in which no earthly boon could, even in im- agination, compensate her—has in her House of Delegates, by unanimous vote, proclaimed her willingness to be repre- sented in the Nashville Convention. These facts, with other concurrent tes- timony, show that there exists a deepand settled determination, accompanied by a highly excited state of feeling, to try the strength of the South, not only against the Northern fanatics—in which enter- prise, were it practicable, we would bid them God speed !—but against the true men of the North; against the best friends they have ; against the entire North and Northwestern tiers of States. Of the existence of this determination sufficient evidence has been given, we are grieved to say, on the floor of either House of Congress, and yet less unreserv- edly, as is understood, in the private in- tercourse and declarations of Members, gad in speeches and votes in the Legisla- tures of Virginia and Georgia, now in session. And what is most alarming of _ all is the fact, that gentlemen who have ever heretofore been most Conservative and even thoroughly Whig, are to be found still more excited than those who have been habitually railers against the North, and undervaluers of the Union. And so with the Press. We cite, as evi- denceof this,the “ Richmond Republican” —the last paper in whose columns we should have expected to find such lan- guage as this: “ We are afraid these men will find the South ‘ie in earnest when ti is too late. ‘The South *cannol resist, ia advance, the aggressive mea. * sures of the North by any other weapons than “reason, persuasion, and the declaration of her * purposes; yet in this, t only remedy, she ‘is insulted with the deciaration that she is ‘insincere, and dues not mean what she says. ‘It is melancholy to contemplate such a state ‘of things; fur, whatever Northern citizens * may believe, or affect to believe, every South. * era man knows that to persist in those measures ‘which form the principal points of Northern * policy wpon the subject of slavery, will result * im a DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION.” This language, from a citizen as devo. tedly attached to the Union, we eligee. ag any one we know, it is enough to fill the heart with grief to believe sincere.— more is to be cared for, as signifi- ant of Southern feeling, than the report which has been made by Mr. Seaborn Jones in the Georgia Legislature, by the title of “ A bill to strengthen the military *arm of this State, and to enable the Go- *vernment to provide for the defence of R *the People”—their defence against the United Siates. of course, anew it be a- themselves, the enemy they have truth more reason to dread—which bill can red a letter in a Savannah pa- per & arming and equipping thirt * thousand soldiers [militia er nyalauists * we, presume) and appropriating $200,000 * te defray the expense thereof.” In one Southern paper which has just fallen into.our bands (from Wilmington, | NN: C.) we find such language as this: “ What's the Remedy? It is @ Southern * Confederacy, with a Capital at Asheville, or * somewhere else on the mountains, where the ‘lines of Georgia, South and North Carolina, * Tennessee and Virginia meet. “ What will the Southern Convention do ?7— ‘We to have ho nore barren addresses. ‘If that is all the delegates intend, they had ‘better stay at home. If they will methodize ‘a PLAN To DissoLve THE Union, we will hail ‘ them.” Here is ultraism at one extreme. But it is to be found at both. An“ Anti-Sla- * very Mass Convention” lately sat at Sy- racuse, in New York, to which Mr. Wil- liam Lloyd Garrison addressed a Letter, in which we find the following : “ There must be no union with slaveholders, ‘ religiously or politically. It seems to me im- ‘possible to utter a plainer proposition. On ‘the part of the South, the condition of union ‘has been and is, that we of the North shall ‘give absolute protection and encouragement ‘of the slave system ; to this hour that condi. ‘tion has been complied with; a refusal to ‘comply with it dissolves the Union inevitably ‘and necessarily.” ‘The time has come /o ‘ preach disunion on the highest moral and re. ‘ ligious grounds. ‘The Constitution of the Uni- ‘ted States is a covenant with death, and an ‘agreement with bell. In the name of God, of ‘Christ, &e. it must be denounced and repu- ‘diated, &c. Tam for the abolition of slavery, ‘ therefore for the dissolution of the Union.” This man is, of course, a mere fanatic —a madman. But there is a method in his madness. He too, as well asthe Wil- mington Editor. and others who have not spoken out so bluntly, is for “a dissolution ‘of the Union.” The ravings of such a man, however, excite in the mind no sen- sation approaching to alarm, becanse they do not indicate any corresponding temper or purpose among the intelligent and sound portion of the People of the part of the country from which he hails; whilst the conviction that has just flashed upon our own mind, that there is a wide and deep-seated disaffection in the breasts of a very different order of men, overcomes us so entirely that it is difficult to pursue with calmness or composure the line of argument which we proposed to follow. Mastering our feelings, however, we must endeavor to go through, in what way we can, the task which is before us. (To be Concluded.) THE ROOT RESOLUTION. The vote by which Mr. Root’s territori- al resolation was laid upon the table in- dicates, we think, a disposition in the House of Representatives to acqaiesce in the policy proposed by the President in respect to California and New Mexico.— If that policy prevails, the adjustment of the territorial question will be left to the safest and the wisest arbitrament—that of the People and of Time. We haveal- ready published articles from the leading presses in all sections of the country, com- mending in the warmest terms the plan of the President, as suggested in his annual Message and as more fully developed in Lis special message upon this subject.— Even those journals which have hitherto taken.ultra ground in favor of the Wil- mot proviso and against it, find in the plan of President Taylor a ground on which the question may be settled, according to principles admitted by both parties, and without doing violence to the pride or sentiment of either. The right of astate to settle the slavery question for itself is denied by no one, and is no more earnest- ly contended for by any one than Mr. Calboun himself. Admit, then, California when she pre- sents herself with a State constilution.— Suffer New Mexico to remain as she is, with more order and a better administra- tion of her own system than she ever had, until she too can organize a common- wealth, frame her own constitution in a manner to suit herself; and apply, as she can at the next session of Congress—or at the present, ifneed be—for admission into the Federal Unian. This can injore no one, either in his feelings or in his proper- ty. The people, who must ultimately set- tle the demestic question, settle it in the first instance ; and there is no longer any room for a controversy which cannot fail to dissever the bonds of amity and affec- tion which now unite the sister States of the republic, if it should fail tosubvert the Constitution and the Union. To accomplish this result, to carry out the policy of the President, it is obvious that collateral conflicting propositions must meet the fate of Mr Root’s resolution. We believe that the public sentiment of every section is prepared to see such a disposition of all such interfering plans. This we infer from the strong and decided language even ofthe ultra journals. Ap- | proving the President’s plan, they must approve ihat course in Congress by which alone that plan can be carried out. Desi- rous of suppressing agitation—willing to waive a territorial organization in Cali- fornia and New Mexico—(and such is the universal language of the Administration press of the North and South) it is obvi- ous that they mast also approve and sus- tain the votes necessary to dispose of terri- torial resolutions and to avert unnecessary discussion. Solicitous for the end indica. ted by the President, they must be equally solicitous for the adoption of the means by which alone that end can be secured.— Republic. Fossil Remains.—We learn trom Col. Multsby of Whiteville, that bis workmen. engaged in grading the Manchester Rail oad, a mile and a half from Whiteville, dug up the remains of an Indian, that from all appearances and information, must have been buried there a century or more ago. The remains were four or five feet bolow the sorface. A large quantity (say , near a bushel) of beads, of all colors and sizes, were also dug up : supposed to have been buried withhim. The oldext inbab. itants in Whiteville have no ect , Of the burial of the Indian.— NV. Oar. [et the affair. A NICE PLOT. We find the following spnouncement, in the: Washington Correspondence of the Courier : aed Enquirer, which is ‘well calculated tu af. rest the attention of the country : Wasuineron, Jan. 31, 1850. The confidence which I recently expressed, that the Wilmot Proviso could net pass the Senate, if attached to a Territorial Bill. by the House of Representatves,has been seriously im- paired hy the discovery of a purpose on the part of Southern Senators to bring about its passage by absenting themselves ou the day of the vote, if the question should ever be directly presented to the Senate. It is well ascertain. ed, as [ have already shown in previous letters, what Northern men are prepared to oppose the Proviso, and therefore the absence of one half their number from the South would reduce the question to a tie, thus casting the responsi- bility on Mr. Fillmore, while that of another would enable it to pass by a majority. ‘This announcement will of course be denied by the Union, which abstractly would furnish the best of proof; but | bave the most undoubted au- thority fer saying that such a project is enter. tained, and that it furms a part of the policy of those who have constituied themselves the managers and leaders of this scheme is too ap- parent to be mistaken. It is conceived with the design of forcing the proviso upon Gen. Taylor, and compelling him to sign or veto the bill hoping, in either event, to break down the Administration, and to profit by his ruin. Such a disclosure is well calculated to excite indig- nation with the country, exposing as it does the partizan moves by which demagogues have | been actuated and the utter insincerity of all their professions in regard to the abstract ques- tion of Slavery. Sw far from desiring to com. pose the agitation, and to establish an honorable and acceptable basis of adjustment, Mr. Foote and those who act under his leadership—be being the recognised oracle of sectional ultra. ism—are striving to prevent a settlement ; and this plot is a part of the system of tactics which they have adopted, after the failure of their own absurd projects to promote the passage of that very restriction which they bave declared would be a sufficient cause fordissolution. This fac- tion is as much interested in the adoption of the Proviso as any fanatic who belongs to the other extreme; for they believe it furnishes the only hope of future excitement, upon which their political existence depends. A baser con. spiracy than that now developed, never was formed, and i's authors deserve the execration oftheir constituents and the country. We have repeatedly charged, that Southern Locofocoism was leagued with Northern Free- soilism in the scheme to prevent the adjustment of the Wilmot Proviso difficulty, and the facts of the case, thus far, have borne us out. We never for a moment, however, suspected that the vile spirit of Demagogueism had carried any portion of the Southern Senatorial repre. sentation to such lengths as this, and we gladly believe that the Correspondent of the Courier was mistaken. * That first rate man and De. mocrat” William J. Brown, declared openly that he would he pleased to see the Wilmot Proviso passed, in order that the alternative might be presented to Gen. ‘Taylor of signing or rejecting it- From the report of the Cou. rier’s Correspondent, there are more than he who not only entertain such sentiments, but are determined to see them take the form of action. We leave it tothe whole South to say, wheth. er (if it be true) a baser plot was ever concoct. ed. ‘These men have been for years profess. ing the most terrible apprehensions with regard to the passage of the Wilmot Proviso. ‘They affect to think that it involves the fate of the Union itself. They openly declare that Gen. Taylor is pledged not to veto it, should it pass. ‘They have in their own hands the power of defeating it; and yet for the purpose of admin- istering “Sa bitter pill” to the President, they are determined to let it go by default; to leave the fate of the South and of the Union in hands in which they have declared it is not safe ; to trust to the contingency of a Presidential neg- ative, when they profess to believe that the President will not give it. the most important question ever presented to the Senate! We have heard much of moral treason from a cer- tainquarter. We respectfully ask what is this ? Is it not * moral treason” open and undisguised! Is it not congpiracy against not only the South, but the Union itself? If it is not, then never let the phrase he used again. ‘They first de- clare that the passage of the Wilmot proviso would be sufficient ground for dissolving the Union, they then take measures to render such passage certain! Language is insufficient to characterize such baseness in the manner it deserves. For our own parts, we fee] perfectly assured that the Wilmot Proviso will not become a law while Gen. ‘Taylor holds the veto in his hands. But what must be the character of an opposi. tion, which professing to think otherwise, is yet prepared to force it through, at the same time that it declares it ground tur dissolving the Un. ion? We can hardly think there are demagogues in the Senate, from the South, bold enough to carry out, this manaeuvre. They will be watch- ed, however closely, by the whole South. Let them attempt itifthey dare. Let them fur the sake of administering “ bitter pills” to Gen. Taylor, put the Union in Peril, and let the Southern people know of it, The fate of Ben. edict Arnold was inevitable, compared with what theirs will be.—Rich. Whig. A Better man than his Brother.— The Phiadelphia Spirit of the Times vouches for the correctness of the follow- ing: “On Tharsday last a wedding party ar- rived from the country, consisting of the bride and groom, the brother of the latter and several friends. They put up at one of our public houses, and in the evening, the preliminaries having been all settled and the Clergyman in attendance. the ceremonies were about to begin, when the groom manifested some dissatisfaction. — The bride seeing this. and being high spir- ited, showed as much independence, as the lover. In the midst of the confusion which ensued, the bridegroom’s brother stepped up to the bride and said: “Since won't marry you, Ill marry you myself. if you have no objection.” : “None in the least,” said the bride; “] always took you for a better man than your brother, and | am now fully convinc- ed of it.” The knot was at once tied, and mach ification was expressed at the fnale- ae ieee aoa oe Ma.

The occasion is not improper for the remark, that we know of man in the State who combines more of the elements necessary to success in a canvass for that office than Mr. Gilmer. We know the man—his_ industry, ability, indomitable energy of character, and the unaffected home bred sympathy with the people which he holds by inheritance, y constant asso- ciation, and by choice. But—to say no- thing of the wear, tear and expense of an active canvass—the event of his election would be little short of a disasterto him, as it would be toany other comparatively young man witha rising family around him dependent upon his own personal ex- ertions, and not upon an inherited fortane, for support. It is a fact thatthe Execu- tive station, with the limited salary at- tached and the Jiberal scale of expendi- ture which custom renders necessary, presents little but splendid ruin to the cit- izen of moderate circumstances who may be called apon to occupy it.

A meeting was recently held in New- bern, to agitate the project of a Rail Road from the Eastern terminus of the Central Road to New Bern. We copy the follow- ing extract from a speech of the Hon. W. H. Washington, sketched in the New Bernian : “Mr. Washington presented in a strong light the advantages which would result to New Bern, from the construction of the North Caralina Railroad and its extension to this place. We must have such ad- vantages over Wilmington. as to enable us to compete with her for the trade from the West. No land carriage could com. pete in the conveyance of heavy articles, with water carriage. The Railroad would give us the advantages of both. The dif- ference in the width of the Railroad tracks as they were now built, and as they would be built on the North Carolina Road, from those on the Wilmington Road, would render it impracticable for the cars com- ing down the N.C. road. to continue on to Wilmington. The road to Goldsboro’ could be built cheaper than any road bad ever been built.” The amouat subscribed is stated by the * Gilmer. ‘and the nom nas t tily endorse, we are not to be understood- | Republican, to be $70,000, | received by Lord vernment : Downtne street, Loxpon, Jan. 9, 1850. - My Lorn: I have to acknowledge your des. patches of the dates and numbers quoted in the margin. * * *, ; It has afforded her Majesty great satisfac. tion to receive thase expressions of that loyal- ty and attachment to the British Crown which ‘she trusts is generally fek by her Canadian The follwing is ¢’copy ofan bjects. , : ee With regard to the people of Canada, in fa- vor of severing the province from the British dominions, for the purpose of annetation to the United States, which forms the subject of three of these despatches, I have to inform you that her majesty approves of your hating dismissed from her service those who have signed the document, which is scarcely short of treasona- ble in its character.

To the Right Hon. Eart or Etern. THE FLORIDA INDIANS. We are informed that intelligence has been received at the War Department from Florida, stating that on the 21st January the Command. ing General in that State met in council the Chief and six sub-Chiefs of the Seminole and Micasukie Indians, and a delegate from the Tallahassees, which terminated very satisfacto. rily. The President’s approval of their con- duct in surrounding the murderers, and his de- sire for their removal west of the Mississippi, was communicated to them, and they finally ex- pressed their willingness to emigrate, and their determination to use all efforts to persuade their people to accompany them. ‘The Western Delegation have also been permitted to. enter the nation, in the prosecution of their mission. Bowlegs, with his evb-Chiefs. has promised to meet the agent, Capt. Casey, about the middle of the present month at Caloosahatchie, and in. form him of the result of their efforts. It is believed that many of the Indians are disposed to go to the West, while others are undecided ; hut, upon the whole, the prospects of their em- igration are more favorable than they have been fur some time past. The Advantages of Advertising.— All men of commen sense observation, whose ideas keep pace to an extent with the improvingly pro- gressive spirit of the day, comprehend, intuit. ively as it were, the high and almost incalcu- lable value of the popular and widely circula- ting journals of the day, as a channel through which knowledge, the spread of which is im- portant to any particular interest, may be communicated to the public. An instance of this comprehension, with the signal advantages of its practical application, is given in the re- port of the Board of Directors in the Merchan- tile Library Association of New York, which is a moat flourishing concern. The total num. ber of members of the Ist of January, 1850, was 2,074, and the net gain for the year was 297. Of the whole number, 2.805 are, or were originally, clerks, and pay $2 per annum ; and 169 merchants and others, paying $5 an. nually. Besides the above, there were 113 honorary members and 283 stockholders of Clinton Hall Association. The society too how occupies a building which cost $55,000 and the ery is for making additions to the pre- sent accommodations. ‘The prosperity is ac- counted for by the following sensible remarks in the report upon the advantages of advertising: * The excess over last year, in this item, is $55. The board do not hesitate to say that this is, on the score of real economy, a most ju. dicious investment. ‘The advantage of adver. tising has been certified to in every annual re- port issued since the plan was adopted, and we cheertully bear witness to its good effects du- ring the past year. ‘They have been too pal. pable to admit of question. ‘The large acces. sion of members in the months of October, No. vember and December, is in a great degree al. tibutable to the advertisements inserted du- ring that time in the most prominent daily pa- pers. Not a few of the members who joined | in those months, admitted having had their at- tention called to the matter by the these no. tices.” | Thus then, are the great advantages of news- paper advertising exemplified, and testified to by men whose position denotes their high in- telligent experience and business qualifications.

The continuance of the agitation, in Con. | gress and elsewhere, of the slavery subject, will have one important political effect. The North- ern Democrats are, as I have reason to know, much alarmed at the prospect of the re-election | of Gen. Taylor, by the force of his devotion to the Union. Some of them have confessed to me that they will be obliged to support Gen Tay- lor, at the next election, as the friend of the Un. | jon. The re-action, at the North, is beginning, and the ultra Wilmot Proviso men will be un- borsed. ‘That is very evident. One of the most prominent of the Northern Whigs assures me that the Wilmot Proviso cannot pass the House, though it could have been passed, by a majority of thirty, at the beginning of the ses- tion. The Union is safe—the prospect of im- mediate danger is passed. Ido not think that the slavery discussion will hereafter, be of so irritating a character as it has been ; but, it is to be hoped that the South. érn men will not relax their vigilance and de- termination. ‘The change of opinion, or of pol- ley, on the part of the Northern members, is a tribute to the firmness and resolution manifest- ed by the South, and to the views made public iathe speech of Mr. Clingman. That speech bas not been, and will not be, answered by the Northern men; because, they could not answer it in any terms but those of a determined de- Sance—which they are not prepared to adopt.

[Published by request of the Hornets’ Nest.] The other counties comprised in Old Meck- lenburg are respectfully solicited by her, to ap. | point delegates !o the Convestionto be held | here on Tuesday of April Court, to participate in the proceedings which are to choose dele- gates to the Convention at Nashville, and this invitation is extended to other counties embrac- ed in this District, which are willing to co-ope- rate in the movement. This district should not be behind the Wil- mington one which is taking active steps to be | represented at the Convention. | TO THE POINT. The following remarks of Mr. Cling- man, in his recent speech against the ag- gressive movements of the North, contain matter very much to the point: “ The extent of the losstothe South may be understood from the fact, that the num- ber of runaway slaves now in the North is stated as being thirty thousand ; worth at present prices, little short of fifteen mil- lions of dollars. Suppose that amount of | property was taken away from the North | by the Southern States acting against the Constitution : whatcomplaint would there not be ; what memorials, remonstrances, and legislative resolutions would come down uponus? How would this Hall be filled with lobby members, coming here to press their claims upon Congress 1— | Why, sir, many of the border counties in the slaveholding States have been obliged to give up their slaves almost entirely. It day, that a few counties named, in Mary- land, had, by the efforts of the abolition- ists within six months, upon computation, lost one hundred thousand dollars worth of slaves. A gentleman of the highest standing, from Delaware, assured me the other day that that little State lost, each year, at least that value of such property in the same way. A hundred thousand dollars is a heavy tax to be levied on a single congressional district by the aboli- tionists. “ Suppose a proportional burden was inflicted on northern States. How would Massachusetts bear the loss annually of one million one hundred thousand dollars, _not only inflicted without law, but against _an express provision of the Constitution ? | We may infer from the complaint she has | made of a slight inconvenience imposed lina which prevented ship-captains from carrying free negro servants to Charles- ton. * This whole action on the part of the North is not only in violation of the Con- stitution, but seems to be purely wanton, or originating in malice towards the South. It is obvious that they do not they not only make no adequate provision for their comfort, but, in fact, in many of the States, bave forbidden free negroes to come among them on pain of imprison- ment, é&c. It cannot be a desire to liber- ate slaves, because they have never, to my knowledge. attempted to steal negroes from Cuba or Brazil. Itis true, however, us both by land and water, they have greater advantages and immunities. For if they went into a foreign country, they SOUTHERN RAILROAD. The National Intelligencer of the 7th says : —Claiming to feel especial interest in all that concerns the prosperity of the old North State, we regret to perceive that a projected great im. provement within her borders hangs in some doubt (not much, we hope) for the want of the requisite subscription to give it a start. We refer to the scheme fora Central Railroad to con- nect the western and eastern portions of the State, and to bring the central and Western sections in connexion with the lateral railroad lines of Raleigh and Wilmington, and thus opening the best districts of that fine State toa connexion with the ocean. ‘The work would possess the additional advantage of giving an early inland conexion with Railroads further on, through South Carolina to Georgia, Ala. bama, &c. A work cannot well be imagined offering more local or general convenience and benefit in any one of the States south of us, and as there remains now but $100,000 of the million required to be raised by private sub. scription as a condition of the State’s subscrib. ing two millions to the great object, we can hardly suppose that the patriotic citizens of the State will permit the work to be jeoparded by the want of the sum so insignificant compared with the interests at stake. COMMUNICATION . Oe Messrs. Epitors: Allow me for a moment to invite your attention, and that of your readers to what I con- ceive to be the very great merit of the system of Pen- manship taught by Dr. H. J. Harris, of this County. I have not had an opportunity to attend a course of the Doctor’s instruction, and am only able to form an opin- ion of the merits of his system from the specimens which I have seen of the handwriting of his pupils be- fore and after their receiving instruction from him to- I am convinced, however, that his plan is based upon true scientific principles, and that it is the only one by which a free and graceful hand can be uniformly aequircd. Its lead- ing peculianty, as I understand it is, that the motion of the pen is to be effected, exclusively by the muscles of the upper and lower arm, thus relieving the fingers of any duty in the premises, save that of grasping and holding the pen. A moment’s reflection will show one that with the hand resting upon its heel, as is usually the case in writing, the fingers, whose joinis are hinges upon which they can only move in planes which are at right angles, or nearly so, to the surface upon which the hand rests, are but poorly adapted to the production of It is true that the uppermost of these hinges, being somewhat loosely coupled, have a slight lateral movement which permits It is however necessarily cramped, confined and awkward. | Ou the other baad, with the ball and socket joint of the shoulder as the principal, and the elbow as the subordi- nate centre-of motion, the freest possible scope is given to the hand and any object,—as the pen, which the fin- gers may grasp. It is to illustrate and practically apply these principles, which, however obvious, have hardly been recognised heretofore in the practice of writing, that I understand the efforis of the Doctor are mainly directed in the courees of instruction which he is now engaged in giving. The results of these efforts, so fdr as I have seen them, fully justify the opinion which I had formed a priori of the Doctor’s system ; and my object in mak- ing this communication is simply to invite the attention of the public to its further examination. : CLERICUS. [We take occasion here to add our testimony to the excellence of the system taught by Doct. Harris. Hav- ing had an opportunity to witness the progress of his pupils, and the process by which they are led on from the simple elements to the formation of complete letters, | and their connection into words, we are well satisfied | that any person who will give his attention to the sub- | ject and comply with the rules, can, in a few days, learn to write a graceful hand.— Editors.) THE WILMOT PROVISO. Much anxiety has been for some time expressed as to the fate of any bill rela- ive to territories containing the Wilmot Proviso. We have been all along under the impression that Gen. Taylor would veto this proviso, as unconstitutional.— The Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper is very sanguine. He says: “Old Zack will veto it, as certain as the sun shines, as water runs, or grass grows.”— Wil. Commercial. Arrivals at the Mansion Hotel, From the 7th to the 13th Inst. Names.

BeinG a new and much enlarged series of the “ South- ern Literary Cazette,’—the only weekly Journal, South of the Potomac, devoted to Literature and the Arts in General—and designed for the family Circle. The Proprietor begs leave to announce that on Satur- day, the 5th of May, he issued the first number, for the second year, of this popular and well established paper, —the name and form of which he has changed, to en- large the scope of its observation and to otherwise in- crease its attractions. ; Less exclusively devoted, than heretofore to Literature, the Arts and Sciences, it will be the aim of the Proprietor to make it in every respect, “as cheap as the cheapest, and as good as the best. Utterly discarding the notion that a Southern Journal cannot compete with the Northern weeklies in cheapness and interest, RICHARD’S WEEKLY GAZETTE shall be equal, in mechanical execution, to any of them, and, in the variety, freshness and value of its contents, second to none. Its fields will be the world, and it will contain, in its ample folds Every Species of Popular Information. Numerous articles, original and selected, from the best | sources, will be published weekly and this department, as, indeed, all others will be frequently Illustrated with Wood Cuts. Every number will contain careful and copious samma- ries of the latest Foreign and Domestic News! in Commercial, Civil, Political, and Ecclesiastical Af- fairs. At the same time, there shall be nothing in its co- lumns that can be considered either Partizan or Sectarian.

Jan. 28, 1850. 38 One mile and a half from Salisbury | ! HE Subscriber offers for sale a small lot of Land situated on the Road to Locke’s Bridge, one mile and a half from Salisbury. It consists of 20 or 22 Aeres, uneleared. There is some good timber on it, and a large quantity of fire wood ; and its nearness to Town, where there is a never failing demand for wood, makes it much more valuable, than richer land situated at a greater distance off. The soil is not of the first quality. But the location compensates for its deficiency in this respect; and the hand of industry could soon make it one of the most desirable places for a residence. The subscriber would also remind the public that as the great Central Rail Road project is now looked upon as successful be- yond a doubt, every inch of land, especially near this Town, must soon be greatly enhanced in value ; and those who wish to obtain such property there, should lose no time in doing so. Those wishing to purchase thie lot, will please address the subscriber, at I" Salem, N. Carolina. A. MATHIEU.

Ye Tailors! of aneicnt and noble renown, Who closbe all the people in country and town, Remember that Adam, your father and head, Tho’ lord of the world, was a Tailor by trade. Ye Masons! who work in stone, mortar and brick And lay the foundation, deep, solid and thick ; Tho’ hard be your Iabor, yet lasting your fame, Boih Egypt and China your wonders proclaim. Ye Smiths! who forge tools fur all trades here below, You have nothing to fear while you smite and you blow, | All things you may conquer, sv happy your lot, | If you are careful to strike while your iron ia hot. You Shoe-makers! nobly from ages !ong past, Have defended your rights with your awl to the last, | And Cobblers, al! merry, not only stop holes, | Ye Cabinet-makers! brave workers in wood, As you work for the ladies, your work must be good, | And Joiners ard Carpenters, far off and near, Stick close to yodr trades, and you've nothing to fear. Ye Hatters! who oft with hands not very fair, Fix hats on a block, for a block-head to wear; Tho’ charity cover a sin now and then, You cover the heads and the sina of al! men. Ye Coach-makers, must not by tax be controlled, But sbip off your coaches, and bring us home gold ; The roll of your cozch made Copernicas reel; And fancy the world to turn round like a wheel. Ye Carders and Spinners, and Weavers, attend, And take the advice of poor Richard, your friend ; Stick close to your loons, your wheels and your card, And you never need fear of the times being hard. Ye Printers! who give us our learning and news, And impartially print for Turks, Christians and Jews; Let your favorite toast ever resound in the streets, The freedom of the press and a volume of sheets. Ye Coopers! who rattle with driver and adz, And lecture each day upon hoops and on heads ; The famous old ballad of lore ina tub, You mast sing to the tune of your rub a dub dub. Ye Ship Builders, Riggers, and Maker of sails, Already the New Constitution prevails! And soon ye shall see o’er the proud swelling tide, The ships of Columbia triuinphantly ride.

AN INFANT’S EPITAPH. On the little grassy mound Never be the darnel found ; Ne’er be venomed nettle seen On this little heap of green. For the little lost one bere Was too sweet for aught of fear, Aught of harm to harbor nigh This green spot where she must lie. So be nought but sweetness found On this little grassy mound. The following lines went the ronnds of the papers abont forty years ago. The author is unknown: *T was in a bower with roses twin’d, By Cupid’s fingers wove, Phyllis in all her charms, reclin’d While Damon whisper’d love. “ And oh!” he said, ‘“ those eyes that roll, In tove's pure liquid dew, Have from my breast all quiet stole, And rais’d emotions new. “And oh! that beauty beaming face Js printed on my heart, And death itself shall first take place, Before it shall depart. And, of those locks that curling flow, Adown that glossy neck, Ah! only one on me bestow, No higher boon I seek.” What female could withstand the shock! The yielding fair submits, Poor Damon clipt his favorite lock, And found it—full of mts? CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. In a plea for the suspension of public opinion in the case of men charged with crime, as in the case of Dr Webster, of Boston, until the result of a legal investi- gation has been attained, the Journal of Commerce re- marks : “ Men do not reflect that circumstances may appear terribly against an innocent man. The case ofthe Boarnes, of Vermont, has not escaped the recollection of our older readers. They were tried ann condemned to death for the murder of Russel! Culvin. The sen- tenee of one of them was commuted to imprisonment for life, and he was already in Safe prison at labor. The other awaited execution. The remains of the murder- ed man had as was supposed, been destroyed, but nails, and bones, and buttons from his clothes were found and identified. A few days before the execution of the con- @emned man, Russe!) Colvin entered town, alive and well.” The Boston Transcript says the Journal omits to mention the most marvellous feature in this case, which was that the accused persons finally confessed the mur- der, their minds having been wrought upon by some worthy religious people, who actually drove them to the belief in their own guilt. France.—In speaking of France and the politica] paradoxes that country is ever presenting, the London Times says: “ The course of events in France has not inaptly been described as an enigma inaction. It is as fal! of con- tredictions as an elaborate jest, and as inconsistent and perplexing as a Chinese puzzle. Whatever was to be, fs mot ; whatever is, cannot be long. Ir began with a repablic without republicans ; and it has already grown | émto a monarchy without a monarch.” Kossutu.—A foreign correspondent of the London Times says: “ What an extraordinary reputation this man Kossuth has left after him ! -.

Jf you would favor an agency pre-emi- nently efficacious in making men fit for the eternal scenes of purity, love and joy Mich. growing out of the following cir cumstance: "A Mr. Martin, a farmer re- | siding some distance from Niles, came to thar village some weeks since witha load | of produce which having disposed of, his |team was found without an owner, and all traces of his whereaboats was lost.— | Conjectures were afloat respecting bis ‘fate. The general opinion at length pre- | vailed that he had been murdered, robbed. ‘and his body secreted. A clairvoyant was sent for from Cassopolis to ascertain the whereabouts of the missing man.— She said he had been murdered, and lo- cated the body in the river St. Joseph.— Many persons diligently searched the riv- er for the body,—and several persons strongly asserted that they had drawn the body in sight, when their hold broke | and the body again sank to the bottom. A lths contributed to create and keep alive the excitement; but the denouement at length came in the shape of letters i {rom Mr. Martin, announcing that he was jin Vermont alive and well. The Conqueror and Printer.—When Tamerlane had finished building his pyr- amid of seventy thousand skulls, and was seen standing at the gate of Damascus. glittering with steel, with his battle-axe on his shoulder, till he might lead his fierce hosts to new victories and carnage, that pale looker-on might have fancied that nature was in her death throes—for havoc and despair had taken possession of the earth, and the sun of manhood seemed setting in the sea of blood. Yet it might be on that very gala-day of Ta- merlane, a little: boy was playing nine- pins in the streets of Mentz, whose history was more important to them than twenty Tamerlanes. The Tartar Khan, with his shaggy demons of the wilderness, passed away like the whirlwind, to be forgotten | forever—-and that German artizan wrought |a benefit, which is yet immeasurably ex panding through all the countries and all time.

With a view to this, he last Sabbath delivered his first lecture in the Unitarian Church. We have not learned what are to be the precise features of this new church.

We are sorry to observe, from the tone rihe Raleigh papers, a determination to pee by the “irresistible force of prece- jent,” Gov. Manly upon the Whig party ssa candidate for re election. We had | that his friends had been taught yisdom by the narrow escape he had pade from a defeat at the last election. is, and bas been, for a long time per- : __ ~ the Went tly notorious, that his vote int it ee other election will fall short of his | jast vote by thousands, and we waited tiently to see it intimated from head garters that he would not be again be- fore & convention. We were at length compelled to speak, but we did it in mild language and in such a manner, as not needlessly to wound his feelings. The last Ralewh Register appeals to the party not iothrust him aside and thus mortify his ride, but let him be again the candidate and ‘walk over the track,” for that dem- ocrats are in favor of him. If he is to, walk over the track, we have nothing to say. But who believes such will be the ease? And if he runs, no sane man, west of Raleigh (of the East we know nothing) doubts but that the democrats will run a candidate who will beat him. We do got desire to mortify Gov Manly’s feelings, bat we regard the interests of the Whig patty more, and it is certainly a singular more on the part of his friends to plead his feelings in the scale against the interests of his party. We donot propose now to discuss the | reason Why Gov Manly cannot get the support of the Wuics of the West. We are prepared to do it however at any time the Raleigh papers desire it, but we sim- ply now call the attention of the Editor | of the Register to allusions put forth by his locum tenens” in behalf of Gov. Manly which strikes us as decidedly rich. He is recomended as a great friend of the “Cen- ral Rail Road.” How has he shown his | friendship? What convention has he at. | wnded ? What speech has he made ?— | When did he lend the weight of his name | tothat great scheme? We shall be glad to be enlightened on these matters. A correspondent of the “ Hornets’ Nest.” | and the Editors of ihe Carolina Watchman | have taken the right view of this matter. | Jtisimportant that we should succeed in | the next campaign. and our eomplaisance | most not be carried so far as to select a man, who we know will be defeated. We owe Gov. Manly no personal ill will. We know from personal knowledge | that his friends here in the West, admit | that he cannot be elected, and we call upon his friends in Raleigh, not to sacri- fice the Whig party, for fear of wounding | the pride of one man.— M. Banner. — { } SIGNIFICANT. So far as our observation extends, we | remember no paper in the State out of | Raleigh, whicu advocates the nomination | of Gov. Manly. This is not according to | “precedents.” It is never been so before. | Why isit? Canthe Register tell? He | has not even,been nominated uncondition- | ally. has been seized upon with such avidity, | as indicative of public feeling inthe West, | says he will be supported “should he be | nominated.” Even then, where, in the | language of one of the speakers, they owe him so peculiar a debt of gratitude his weakness is felt.—M. Banner. Mr. Cobb of Alabama, in the House of Representatives on Monday the 4th inst. | introduced a resolution proposing the ap- Pointment of a joint committee of six Sen- ators, three Northern men and three Sou- thern men—also twenty-five by the House divided geographically, to take charge of the territorial and slavery questions, with lull power to devise a plan of compromise aad submit it in the form of a bill, to the consideration of the two houses. Mr. Meade intimated a wish to debate the resolution, and it therefore lies over ander the rule. Mr. Inge also introduced a resolution teclaring that the President had commit- ted a gross and flagrant violation of duty and of the Constitution by sending Thom- as Butler King to Cafitornia and inducing the organization of a State Government there before action by Congress autbori- ting the steps. The resolution also as- ris that the authority of Congress is necessary before any government can be Organised in the territories. The resolutions lie under the rule— Notice being given by a member that he desired to debate them. HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM CAN. ADA. Moyrreat, Feb.7, 1850.

THE EVIL OF THE DAY. ‘ Concluded.) Perplexed as we may have found our- selves by some things which have occur- red within the last few months, this reve- lation, to our apprehension, of the actual state of things, is so recent, that we are yet stunned and confused by it. We can think of nothing that has occurred since the Presidential canvass of 1848 to change In any respect the condition or relations of the General Government to ‘the geo- graphical divisions comprised within the United States; and during that contest, in the heat of which every diversity of political sentiment might have been ex- pected to manifest itsel!, certainly we saw no signs or portents of the storm which is now growling in the horizon, and threat: | ening presently to burst over our heads. Nay, from the very infancy of our Gov- ernment, as we have shown above, pre- cisely the same grounds of discontent up- the peace > Uni ite rf 1 ; P of the Union, excited the same | their rights or peace and tranquility with- sensibilities, and provoked the same ex: | citement, with hardly any thing to dis- | criminate between the circumstances of that period and those of the present day. | There is not, therefore, that we know of, | any new ground of alarm for the South. | cisely the same footing as when the helm | of Government passed from the hands of | President otk into those of President | Taytor. During the Administration of | the former we beard not a whisper about “a dissolution of the Union.” If there was such # whisper, it was in the mid- night consultations at the Capitol, and in so low a tone as never to have reached our ears. What, then, hascome over the South? What, especially, has come over the State of Georgia, the State of North Carolina, the State of Maryland? What | is the secret of all this note of preparation, of all thissolemnity, and all this mystery ? Was this country, in all the extent of its latitude and longitude, ever so prosper- ous, so tranquil in all its borders, or so entirely in amity with all the foreign world, as it now is? ls it this very prosperity—the absence of pressure either from within or without, the need of excitement, the lassitude which follows the termination of a sanguinary though successful war—is it this, or all these, that has brought about a state of disaffection, which Heaven forbid that we should speak or think lightly of—for we know it to be of too serious a character to be sported with—but which we are not the less incapable of comprehending ? Or is it to be accounted for upon the princi- ple, which some writers maintain to be a law of nature, that a certain degree of from the existence of Liberty in any Peo. | ple ? “There must,” says Montesquieu, for ‘tions in Rome: for how was it possible | '*that those who abroad subdued all, by |‘ their undaunted bravery and by the ter- | ‘ror of their arms, should live in peace To look for | ‘a People in a free State who are intrepid | ‘in war, and, at the same time, timid in * ‘peace, is to look for an impossibility 5 ‘and we may hold it as a general role | ‘that ina State which possesses a Re- | ‘publican form of Government. if the. ‘people are quiet and peaceable, there is ‘no real liberty.” which the present unusual state of dis- quiet in this Republic is to be interpreted. it would be, at least so far as it points out a cause for it, consoling, but far otherwise when it equally proves that the disquiet is to have no end, or, if ever ending, is to be ever again beginning. But the fram- ers of the Constitution, who were among the wisest of men in that wisdom which experience can alone teach, trusted that they bad guarded against the tumultuous character of the ancient Republics by the establishment of frequent elections, in | which the most obscure of the people has an equal voice with the most potential or | the most eminent individual of the com- munity. It remains to be seen. in the is- sue of the pending question, whether the | framers of the Constitution, in this calcu- lation, relied too much upon the virtue and constancy of the people. It is enough, however, for the present purpose, that the excitement exisis, and to an extent, if it lead to no worse conclu- sion, to produce embarrassment in the le- gislative action of the General Govern- ment, as well as of several of the State | Governments. Desiring it to be distinctly understood that the Editors of this paper are now, as | they ever have been, ready to uphold all ‘the constitutional rights of the South— that, in their opinion, those rights have been invaded in every instance of legis- lation. by whatever State Government, which interposes obstacles to the execu- tion within its limits of the third clause of the second section of Art. IV. of the Con- stitution of the United States—the Edit. | ors do not doubt that the States whose | rights have been invaded have a right to complain of those acts as aggressions, not | upon the States in which they reside, but /upon their individual rights; and that they are further aggrieved when taunts, and insult and a denial of justice are re- ee sible. on which it is now threatened to disturb Were this the rule by | Legislative Resolutions of the States which have thus impeded their Constitu- tional rights. They believe, in a word, that the several States have no more right to pass laws to prevent or obstruct the recovery of fugitives from States in which, according to the fundamental law of those States, they are held to service or labor, than they have to enter into foreign alliances or treaties, to engage in war, to grant titles of nobility, or to exercise any other power expressly denied to them by the Constitution. But the Editors believe also, that much of the annoyance which the People of the Southern States suffer, as well by the Legislative action of the | States as by the interference of individu- |} als with the slave population, is owing to |the passion and vehemence with which ithey have assailed, without discrimina- tion, the whole Northern population for offences which are those of individuals merely, and for whieh, in general, that population is not all chargeable or respon- And they believe, finally, that, for |the punishment of all offences against in their limits, the States of the Seuth are as competent now as they can become by any process of a revolutionary or extra- constitutional nature, and that for all of. fences within other States against their | constitutional rights, the Courts of the United States afford them the same pow- er to assert their rights in the States of the North, as the People of the North have, | within the States of the South, to compel the execution of contracts and recover debts due to them. To complete their profession of faith on this subject, the Editors hold it to be the perfect right of the People of the North to entertain and express, within their own States, or wher-. ever else such expression may be made without danger to the public peace, any sentiment which they entertain of the In- stitution of Slavery as it exists amongst us, or of slavery in the abstract, and also their regret that it does exist on any part of the soil of the United States. The em- bodiment of these sentiments in Legisla- tive Resolutions, and the transmission of them to the Governments of other States, is another affair ; and the communication of such resolutions on this vexed subject by the Non slaveholding States to the Slaveholding States appears to the Edit- ors to be consistent neither with the com- ity which ought to govern the intercourse between the State Governments, nor with that regard to the peace and tranquility of their neighbors which is due from every portion of the population of this country to every other portion. Our opinion is, therefore, that the pro- posed Southern Convention cannot in any manner add to the security of Southern property and rights, already guarantied Even the Burke meeting, which | ‘urbulence and restlessness is inseparable | by the Constitution of the United States, sustained and enforced, as its provisions | undoubtedly will be, both in the first and in the last resort, by the Judiciary of the United States. This resort to the mode prescribed by the Constitution for asserting rights guar- antied by that instrument, and for redress- ing the wrongs inflicted by the action of the General Government or of the State Governments, is, however. disdained by those who are disposed to foment and exasperate rather than to abate the evil of the day. They cannot consent to trust their rights and liberties to any establish- ed tribunal: they must have one which is More sure to answer their purposes. It is in our power to point them to a, case, in the history of this Republic, in which inalienable,rights of the entire pop- ulation of a number of the original States of this Union were not only endangered, but indefinitely suspended by the legisla- tion of the General Government: and, as /our readers will be almost entirely new, /and cannot be without interest to any of points. It was on the 22d day of Decem- _ber, 1807, that the whole country was as- _tounded by the publication of an Act of Congress, passed in secret session, laying ne cxeat, upon all vessels of all sorts in the fisheries, whether laden or unladen, and _whether in the Northern ports in which they were owned, or in the Southern ports to which they had gone for cargoes. more withering blast upon all the occu- pations connected with commerce, in the first instance, but necessarily upon all other branches of industry—upon proper- ty, the right of access to the sea, and the /means of subsistence—is not on record, unless in cases of devastation by fire and sword, or by earthquake, pestilence, or famine, through which whole generations | 'of the sons of men have perished. This measure was preceded by no notice or pre- paration: no war was depending to re- quire or justify it: it was not an embargo, |in the just sense of the term, which im- plies a stoppage of trade for a limited time only. No; it was, on the contrary, |a system deliberately intended to with- draw all our trading vessels from the ocean, on the plea of keeping them safe from the crossfire of the British and French denunciations of neutrality in the, war between them—but in the delusive | calculation, also, that by withholding our agricultura] products from those belliger- it is a case which to perhaps four-fifths of | them. we will briefly relate its principal | an unlimited Embargo, in effect a writ of | ports and harbors of the United States, | whether engaged in commerce or in the, A { | 9. 1809.) of an act further to enforce the | ents, we could force them to respect the outraged neutral rights of this country.— The intiuence of President Jefferson over the two Houses of Congress was then so irresistible that the bill passed both Hous- es almost instanler, although no reasons were given for the measure in Congress, nor in the Official paper at the seat of go- vernment, except, by this last, that it would be a dignified retirement within oursel ves—a withdrawal of our commerce from the ocean, which presented a field on which no harvest could be reaped but that of danger, spoliation, and disgrace— the best thing that could be done under the circumstances ; and, finally, that “ it had been recommended by the President, who had the best means of knowing the policy of foreign nations.” This last ar- gument was a clincher: there was, in those days, no resisting it, unless in the case of some sturdy impracticable, new at Court, like Wm. H. Crawford, of Ga., who had but just come into the Senate, who was not content with arguments found upon mere blind confidence, and re- fused to vote for the bill, because no rea- sons had been given to Congress for it but the President’s will. He, in the Senate, and three of the four Representatives of Georgia in the other House, voted there- fore against the bill: but, with these ex- ceptions, nearly the whole South voted for the bill: all six of the Representatives | from South Carolina voted for it, and all ginia. This act had hardly been made public before it became necessary to pass supplements and amendments to it, ad- ding penalty to penalty, and exacting bonds upon bonds, until this measure, patriotic unquestionably in its origin, but based upon false theories and unphiloso- phical inductions, became in its operation one of the most oppressive and tyrannical ever devised by the wit of man. It had been in existence nearly a year, without the least apparent prospect of its termi- nation, when the Legislature of Massa- chusetts passed resolutions, which were presented to Congress on the 25th of No- vember, 1808, instructing the Senators and requesting the Representatives from that State to endeavor to procure its re- peal. We are able readily to quote from that document (as published in the Amer- ican State Papers) the description of the effects of the Embargo as felt in Massa- chusetts (then including what is now the State of Maine) and her sister States of New England—not more for the purpose of giving the reader some idea of the cruelty and oppression of that measure, setts—then a great State in the Confed- eracy—instead of resorting to her “re- served rights,” could, though crippled and heart-stricken by it, subdue her feelings, come before Congress with composure, and in language at once touching and respectful, thus present the common griev- ance of herself and her sister States to its consideration : “ The produce of our agriculture, of our ‘forests, and of our fisheries, [says the ‘ Preamble to the Resolutions, | is excluded ‘altogether from every foreign market ; ‘our merchants and mechanics are de- ‘prived of employment; our coasting ‘trade interrupted and harassed by griev- ‘ous embarrassments; and our foreign |‘ which there is no prospect of its return. |The sources of our revenue are dried up, '* and Government must soon resort to di- ‘rect taxation. Our sailors are forced to ‘expatriate themselves. In fact, the evils i which are menaced by the continuance |‘ of this policy are so enormous and de- ‘ plorable—the suspension of commerce is ‘so contrary to the habits of our people, |‘and so repugnant to their feelings and |‘interests—that they must soon become ‘intolerable, and endanger our domestic ‘peace and the Union of these States. As ‘the Embargo laws have been the cause of the public distress, your committee ‘a.e of opinion that no equal, permanent, ‘citizens of this Commonwealth but by ‘the repeal of these laws.” Did this earnest and moving appeal from a suffering people have the effect upon the ruling power in Congress, which it cannot but have, even at this distant _day, upon the minds of the generality of readers? Not atall. The only answer that they got from Congress was the pas- sage, a few weeks afterwards, (January ' Embargo Laws, a few of the provisions \of which it is worth while to cite to give. ‘to the present generation some idea of the | character of the system, now happily ex- ploded, which was, forty years and more ‘ago, generally designated by the term i“ Restrictive.” | ceding Supplements tothe Embargo Law, | passed after the Embargo had been more than a year in operation, among a volume of enactments, each more stringent than | | the other, were the following : “ That if any person shall put, place, or’ load on board any ship, vessel, boat, or’ | water craft, or into uny cart, wagon. sled, or other carriage or vehicle, any specie, | ' goods, wares, or merchandise, with intent ‘to export, transport, or convey the same | without the United States, &c., he shall fined in a sum equal to four times the va- | ‘ue of such specie, goods, wares, or mer- | ge ge er ee — . _ other means (besides the Judiciary) than those chandise.” Collectors of all the districts | of argument, persuation, and the ballot box.— than to show how a State like Massachu- | | | quirements of those laws, in order to bring the | but three out of the seventeen from Vir- | { } | | | Richmond Enquirer, from which we quote the of the United States were further author: | ized to seize upon specie or any articles of domestic growth, produce. or manufacture | found on board of any ship or vessel, boat or other craft, &c., or “ when in carts, wag ons, sleighs, &c. or in any manner appa- | rently on their way towards the territories of a foreign nation, or the vicinity thereof, or towards a place wherein such articles” are intended to be exported, and not to, permit such articles to be removed until. bond, with sufficient security, shall have | been given,” &c. And to enforce such | stringent and oppressive prohibitions and | injunctions as these, it was made lawful | for the President of the United States, or. such other person as he should have empow- | ered for that purpose, “ toemploy such part ) of the land and naval forces of the United States, or of the militia, as may be judged necessary.” Well: stung to the quick by this double turn | of the screws upon them, did these Yankess be. | take themselves to dissolving the Union, be. | cause things in the General Government did | not work altogether to their liking! Did they | even determine to “ secede” from the partner. | ship—to tear off their names from the bond to | which they were join signers with Maryland, | | | | | Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia? Not atall. No: they took their case up to the Su- preme Court. ‘hey firmly believed the Em. bargo Laws to be unconstitutional, and they stood suit upon their bonds given under the re. | case before the Court. The Courr decided | the case against them; and they paid the | bonds, as many of them as could—the rest of | them were sold out of house and home, and not | a few of them, who by lives of steady industry | had acquired competencies. when the iron grip of the Restrictive System overtook them, were left, at the close of it, dependant upon their Children or the Poor-bouse for their daily dread. But, argue those who are foremost in urging | the Southern States onward to a precipice from which, once reached, there can be no retreat, nor any advance unless it be to topple:headlong over it, ‘A great wrong [the admission of Cal- ‘ifornia with her State Government] is threat. | ‘ened, and great wrongs demand violent reme- ‘dies. The decision of the great questions ‘now presented to the country will influence ‘forever her future destiny.” Such is the lan. guage held by the Richmond Enquirer not more than a week ago. Constitutional reme- dies are not what these gentlemen seek.— They do not even condescend to specify or de- fine the “ great wrongs” which require the ** vi- olent remedies” they speak of.

Of the extreme medi- (It is a libel opon the fame of Mr. Madison, from which we fee] it to be our duty to rescue it, to attempt to fasten upon his character such anti-constitultional and disorganizing doctrines. He never could, as a statesman or a patriot, have committed himself in such a mannet.— Most fortunately for his reputation—most for- tunately, as the things have turned out, for the country—he has lefi upon record his own ine lerpretation of his Report upon the Virginie Resolutions of 1798, in which he scatters to the winds the whole fabric of false construction which designing men have erected upon it.— As a sufficient vindication of his common sense as well as of his unwavering devotion fo the Union as it is, we turn toa Letter addressed hy him tothe Editor of the North Americaa Review, dated at Montpelier, August, 1830, ia reply toa Letter written to him, referring to the proceedings of the Virginia Legislature of 1798-99, as appealed to in behalfofthe Nulli- fying doctrine which had then just bloomed in- loexistence. Without a word of comment (be. | cause it would be both presumptuous and su- | perfluous) we extract from the Letter the follow: | ing passages touching the points embraced in the Enquirer’s argument : “ Between these different Constitutional Gos ‘ vernments, the one operating in all the States, ‘the others operating separately in each, with ‘the aggregate powers of Gorernment divi« | ‘ded between them, it could not escape atten: ‘tion that controversies would arise concerning ‘the boundaries of jurisdiction, and that some ‘provision ought to be made for such occurren- ‘ces. A political system that does not provide ‘fora peaceable and authoritative termination ‘of occurring controversies, would not be more ‘than the shadow of a Government, the object ‘and end of a real Government being the sub. ‘ stitution of law and order for uncertainty, con- ‘fusion, and violence.” “The Constitution has expressly declaregd— ‘1, * That the Constitution, and the laws made ‘in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made un- ‘der the authority of the Uuited States, shall be ‘the supreme law of the land; 2, that the ‘ Judges of every State shall be bound thereby, ‘any thing in the constitution and laws of any ‘State to the contrary notwithstanding ; 3, that ‘the Judicial power of the United States shall ‘extend to all cases in law and equity arising ‘under the Constitution, the laws uf the United ‘States, and treaties made under their authori- ‘ty,’ &c.” “Should the provisions of the Consitution be ‘found not to secure the government and rights ‘of the States against usurpations and abuses ‘on the part of the United States, the final re. ‘sort within the purview of the Constitution lies ‘IN AN AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION, * according toa process applicable by the States. “And inthe event of the failure of every ‘constitutional resort, and an accumulation of ‘usurpations and abuses rendering passive obe- cine of the Constitution, they would make its daily bread. They will have nothing to do with the Supreme Court ; it is nothing tothem. They will have Revolution, and nothing else. Such is the tenor and spirit of the whole of the’ deliberate and carefully-wrought article in the following further passage : ‘In the issue between the North and South are in- | ‘volved the great principles of the equality or inequali- | ‘ty, the sovereignty or vassalage, of fifteen States of | ‘the American Uuion. If these fifteen States wish | “not to become dependencies, or mere appendage of a | ‘combination (no longer a Union) of States hostile to | ‘these Institutions—if they would escape this doom, to | ‘which Northern fanaticism would consign them, they ‘must arouse their energies—prepare, consult, CoM- | ‘ BINE, UNITE, FOR PROMPT AND DECISIVE ACTION.” { TL: . | lhis is the programme of those who are | ready for Revolution rather than resort to Law, and who are, as we shall show, garbling and misrepresenting the opinions of Mr. Madison, —not to sustain any laubable purpose, but to | favor purposes avowed to be violent and extra. | constitutional. Deprive them of the support of | | his name, and they come to the ground: they | have nothing left to stand upon. We evoke | from the Shades the Spirit of that great man to | confront them in their wicked designs. ‘Todo. ‘dience and non-resistance and revolution, there *can remain but one resort, the last of all—an ‘appeal from the cancelled obligations of ‘the compact to original rights and the law ‘of self-preservation. ‘This is the ullima ratio ‘under all Governments, whether consolidated ‘confederated, or a compound of both; and it ‘cannot be doubted that a single member of the ‘Union, [not a Confederacy of States. —£Edi- ‘tors] in the extremity supposed, BUT IN THAT ‘on Ly, would have a right, as an extra and ul- ‘tra-constitutional right, to make the appeal.” “The Constitution is a compact; its text is “to be expounded according to the provisions for ‘ expounding tt—making a part of the compact ; ‘and none of the parties can rightfully renounce ‘ the expounding provision more than any other ‘ part.” “That the Legislature [of Virginia] could ‘not have intended to sanction such a doctrine, in order to avail themselves of his great name ‘is to be inferred from the debates in the House ‘trade is becoming diverted into channels | ‘of Delegates, and from the address of the two ‘houses to their constituents on the subject of ‘the resolutions. The tenor of the debates, ‘which were ably conducted, and are under. *slood to have been revised for the press by ‘most, if not all of the speakers, discloses no ‘reference whatever to a constitutional right of ‘or effectual relief can be afforded tothe | Thus, in this Supplement, added to pre- | be adjudged guilty of a misdemeanor, and | | no injustice to the Enquirer, we quote at large ' so much of the article in that paper as we pro- pose to refute : ‘‘In this care for the present and preparation for the future, it becomes Virginia to act among the foremost. Not because she is the largest slaveholder among the States, but because great constitulional questions are | involved in the issue. Heretofore, it has been her pro- vince to lead; and she will not shrink from the high ) responsibility. | When, in 1798, ‘the purity of the Constitution was violated by the madness of party,’ and ‘the liberty of | speech and of the press were invaded,’ the voice of Vir- | ginia called her sister States to the rescue; and the hand of usurpation and power was stayed. She did not then stop to count the cost ; she did not then hesitate | to follow the line of duty to herself and the Constitu- tion. “Upon that occasion, when her immortal Resolutions interpreting the Constitution and defining the powers of | the Federal Government, were given to the world, her course was condemned as ‘ unwarrantable and danger- ous. Heraction wzs declared to be ‘a very unjustifia- ble interference with the General Government and con- | stituted authorities of the United States.’ In the Re- solutions of ‘9&8, Virginia ‘ solemnly appealed to the like | disposition in the other States,’ and asked for their co- | operation. This appeal for united action in that emer- gency encountered the strenuous opposition of the Fed- eral advocates of the odious Alien and Sedition Laws. Kentucky had united with her Republican sister, and their concurrent action was declared an unlawful com- | bination against the Federal Government. | «The charge has come down to the present day.— The Southern States propose to unite, to co-operate, to prevent a palpable & ruinous infraction of the Constitution —a Southern Convention is proposed for that purpose, and the objections and the arguments urged against the course of the patriots of "98-9 are used to defeat the measure. | Mr. Madison, in his revort upon the Virginia reso- lutions, vroves such concert of action between the States to be a means of redress both necessary and proper.— In this connexion, he says: «©« And if there be no impropriety in declaring the un- constitutionality of proceedings in the Federal Govern- | ment, where can be the impropnety of communicating the declaration to other States and inviting their concur- rence in a like declaration?) What is allowable for one must be allowable for all; and @ free communication "among the States, where the Constitution imposes no | restraint, 7s as allowable among the State Governments as among other public bodies or private citzens. ‘He further adds, (and the people of the South may be foreed, in the effort to escape oppression, to rely ex- | clusively upon the means here suggested :) “ «Tt cannot be forgotten, that, among the arguments addressed to those who apprehended danger to liberty '*an individual State to arrest by force the ope- | * ration of the law of the United States.” Con. *certamong the States for redress against the '*alien and sedition laws, the acts of usurped ‘power, was a leading sentiment; and the at- ‘tainment of a concert the immediate object of ‘the course adupted hy the Legislature, which ‘was that of inviling the other States ‘to cone '* cur in declaring the acts to be unconstitution- ‘al, and to co-operate, by the necessary and ‘proper measures, in maintaining unimpaired ‘the authorities, rights, and liberties reserved ‘to the States respectively and to the People.’ ‘That, by the necessary and proper measures, ‘to be concurrently and cooperatively taken, ‘ were meant measurcs KNOWN TO THE CONSTI: ‘TUTION, particularly the ordinary control of ‘the People and Legislatures of the Siates over ‘the Government of the United States, CANNOT BE DOUBTED.” “Tt is worthy of remark, and explanatory of ‘the intentions of the Legislature, that the ‘words ‘not law, bot utterly null, void. and of ‘no force or effect,’ which had followed, in one ‘of the resolutions, the word ‘ unconstitutional,’ ‘were struck out by common consent. Though ‘the words were, in fact. but synonymous with ‘unconatitutional,’ yet, fo guard against a mM18« ‘understanding of this phrase as more than ‘ declaratory of opinion. the word * unconstitu. ‘tionl’ alone was retained, as not liable to that ‘danger. ° “The published Address of the Legislature ‘to the people, their conatitnents. affords anoth. ‘er conclusive evidence of ifs views. The ad. ‘dress warns them against the encroaching spire ‘it of the General Government ; argues the uo. ‘constitutionality of the alien and sedition acte ; ‘points to other instances in which the consti- ‘tutional limits had been overleaped ; dwells up- ‘on the dangerous mode of dériving power hy ‘implication; and, in genral, presses the ne. ‘cessily of watching over the consolidating ten ‘dency of the Federal policy.

CLAY’S SPEECH. IN SENATE, Fes. 5. The Siavery Quostion.—‘Mr. Clay’s Compromise. Mr. Cray. Mr. President, neveron any former occasion have | risen under feel- ings of such painful solicitude. 1 have witnessed many periods of great anxiety, of peril, and of danger in this country, but I] have never before risen to address any assemblage so oppressed, so appalled, and so anxious; and, sir, ] bope it will not be out of place to do here, what again and again ] have done in my private chamber. to implore Him who holds the destinies of nations and individuals in his hands to bestow upon our country his blessing—to bestow upon our people bis blessing, to calm the violence and rage of party, to still passions, to allow reason once more to resume its empire.—And may I not ask of Him too, sir, to bestow on his humbe servant now before Him the blessing of his smiles, and of strength and ability to perform the work which lies before him? —Sir, Phave said that I have witnessed other anxious periods in the history of our country, and if I were to venture, Mr. President, to trace to their original source the cause of all our present dangers, dif: ficulties, and detraction, I should ascribe it to the violence and intemperance of party spirit. To party spirit! Sir, in the progress of this session we have had the testimony of two Senators here, who, however they may differ on other matters. concur in the existence of that cause in originating the unhappy differences which prevail throughout the country on the sub- ject of the institution of slavery. Par- ties, in their endeavors to obtain the one the ascendency over the other, catch at every passing or floating plank in order to add strength and power to each. We have been told by the two Senators to whom | have referred, that each of the parties at the North, in its turn, has tmov- | ed-and endeavored to obtain the assist- ance of a small party called Abolitionists, in order that the scale in its favor might preponderate against that of its adversa- ry. And all around us every where, we see many evidences of the existence of the spirit and intemperance of party. might go to other legislative bodies than | that which is assembled in Congress, and J might draw from them illustrations of the melancholy truth upon which I am dwelling, but ] need not pass out of this Capitol itself. I say it, sir, with all defer- ence and respect to that other portion of Congress assembled in the other wing of this capitol; but what have we witnessed there 2? During this very session one whole week has been exhausted—I think about a week in the vain endeavor to elect a door- keeper of the House. Here there was great confusion arising from the continual pressing forward of | the crowds who thronged the galleries bobbres, and the floor of the chamber, so much s0 as almost to drown the voice of the honorable speaker, Mr. Cass.

Sir, I make no reproaches—nane, ta either portion of the fact to draw from it the conclusion and to express the hope that there will be an endeavor to check this violence of party. Sir, what vicissitudes do we not pass through in this shurt mortal career _of ours? Eight years, or nearly eight years ago, | took my leave finally. and, as I sup- posed, forever from this body.—At that time 1 did not conceive of the possibility of ever again returning to it. And if my private wishes and particolar inclinations, und the desire during the short remnant of my days to remain in repose and quiet could have prevailed, you would never have seen me occupying the seat which | now occupy upon this floor. The Legis- lature of the State to which I belong, un- solicited by me, chose to designate me for this station, and 1 have come here, sir, in obedience to a sense of stern duty, with no personal objects, no private views, now or hereafter, to gratify. 1 know, sir, the jealousies, the fears, the apprehensions which are engendered by the existence of that party spirit to which IJ have referred; but if there be in my hearing now, in or out of this Capitol, any one who hopes, in his race for honors and elevation, for high- er honors and higher elevation than that which be may occupy, I beg him to be- ‘lieve that I, at least, will never jostle bim in the pursuit of those honors or that ele- vation. [beg him to be perfectly per- suaded that, if my wishes prevail, my name shall never be used in competition with bis. I beg to assure him that when my service is terminated in this body, my mission, so far as respects the public af- fairs of this world and upon this earth, is closed, and closed, if my wishes pravail, forever. But, sir, it is impossible for us to be blind to the facts which are daily transpiring before us. 1t is impossible for us not to perceive that party spirit and future elevation mix more or less io all our affairs, in all our deliberations. At t moment when the White House itself is in danger of conflagration, instead of all hands uniting toextinguish the flames, we are contending about who shall be its next occupant. When a dreadful crevasse has occurred, which threatened inunda- tion and destruction to all around it, we are contesting and disputing about the profits of an estate which is threatened with total submersion. Mr. President. it is passion, passion— party, party, and intemperance—that is all | dread in the adjustment of the great questions which unhappily at this time di- vide our distracted country. Sir, at this moment we have in the States twenty odd furnaces in full blast, emitting heat and passion and intemperance, and dif: fusing them throughout the whole extent of this broad Jand. Two months ago all Was calm in comparison to the present moment.—All now is uproar, contusion, | and menace to the existence of the Union, and to the happiness and safety of this people. Sir, limplore Senators, J entreat them, by all that they expect hereafter, and by all that is dear to them here below, to repress the ardor of these passions, to look to their country, to its interests, to listen to the voice of reason—not as it shall be attempted to be uttered by me, for Iam not so presumptuous as to in- dulge the hope that any thing I may say will avert the effects which I have de- scribed, but to listen to their own reason, their own judgment, their own good sense, in determine upon what is best to be done for our country in the actual! posture in which we find her. Sir, to this. great object have my efforts been directed du- ring this whole session. J] have cut my- self off from all the usual enjoyments of social life, | have confined myself almost _ entirely, with very few exceptions, to my /own chamber, and from the beginning of the session tothe present time my thoughts have been anxiously directed to the ob- ject of finding some plan, of proposing ;some mode of accommodation which 'should once more restore the blessings of _ concord, harmony and peace to this great _country. J] am not vain enough to sup- | pose that] have been successful in the | accomplishment of this object, but I have | presented a scheme, and allow me to say | to honorable Senators that, if they find in ‘that plan any thing that is defective, if |they find in it any that is worthy of ac- ceptance but is susceptible of improve- mend by amendment, it seems to me that the true and patriotic course is nol to de- nounce it, but to improve it—not to reject without examination any project of ac- commodation having for its object the re- storation of harmony in this country but to look at it to see if it be susceptible of elaboration or improvement, so as to ac- . complish the object which IT indulge the hope is common to all and every one of us, fo restore peace and quiet and harimo- ny and happiness to this country. When I came to consider this subject, there were two or three general purposes which seemed to me most desirable, if possible, to ac- complish. ‘The one was to settle all the con- troverted questions arising out of the subject of | slavery; and it seemed tu me to be doing ve. ry little if we settled one question and left oth- er disturbing questions unadjusted. Ji seemed to me to be doing but little if we stopped one | leak only in the ship of State, and left: other leaks capable of producing danger, if not de. struction of the veesel. [therefore turned my allention to every subject connected with the institution of slavery, and aut of which contro. verted questiona, have sprung, to see if it were possible or practicable tw accommudate and ad- jst the whole of thea, Another principa) object which attracted my atlenting was to endeavor to frame such a scheme of accommudation as that neither of the twa classes of States into which our coun- try ts unhappity divided should make a sacri. ee es that Housé ; I state the fact: and I state | : five of any great principle. EF believe, str, that | Fm mee 8 ge ea ate inne re the series of resolutions | hontir Presedting 1 1 Bat o t. fj VE ‘Anather pufpose, sir, # s this: | Wes aware pinion prevailing betweeh thése two classes ot States. IT was aware that while a portion of | the Union was pushing matiers, as it seemed ito me, to a dangerous extrem ulber par: tion of the Union was pushing Hemi te an op- posite, and perbaps to a no less coe | tremity. It appeared to me, then that, any arrangement, any satistactory adjustinent, could he made of the.conreverted questions between the two classes of States, that adjuatment, that arrangement, could only be successful and ef. feetual by exacting from both parties some con- cession, not of principle at all—but of feeling, of opinion in relation to the matters in contro- versy between them. [ believe that the reso. lutions which I have prepared fulfil that objeet. I believe that yoo will find upon tbat careful, ra- tional, and attentice examination of them which I think they deserve, that by them, neither par. ty makes any concession of principle at all, though the concessions of forbearance are am. le. P In the next place, ia respect to the slavehold- ing States, there are resolutions making con. cessions tothem by the class of opposite States, without any compensation whatever being ren- dered hy them, to the non.slavebolding States. I think every one of these characteristics which I have assigned to the measures which I propose is susceptible of clear, satisfactory demonstration, by an attentive perusal and crit- ical examination of the resolutions themselves. Let us take up the first, sir. The first resolution, Mr. President, as you are aware, relates to California; and it de- clares that California, with suitable limits. onght to be admitted.as a member of this Union, without the imposition of any restriction, either to interdict or to introduce slavery within her limits. Now, is there any concession in this resolution by either party to the other? I know that gentlemen whe come from the slave- bulding States say that the North gets all that it desires. But by whom does it getit? Does it get it by any action of Congress? If slave. ry he interdicted in California, is it done by Congresa, hy this Government? No, sir; the interdiction is imposed by California herself/— And has it not been the doctrine of all parites. that when a State is about to be admitted into the Union, that State has a right to decide for inself whether it will or will not have within its limits slavery? ‘The great principle which was in contest upon the memorable occasion of the introduction of Missouri into the Union was, whether it was competent or was not com. petent for Congress to iinpose any restriction which should exist afier she became a member of the Union?) We, who were in favor of the admission of Missouri, contended that, by the Constitution, no such restriction’ could be im. posed. We contended that, whenever she was once admitted into the Union, she had all the rights and privileges of any pre-existing State of the Union ; and that of these rights and pri- vileges, one was to decide for herself whether slavery should or should not exist within her limits—that she had as much a right to decide upon the introduction of slavery, or upon its abolition, as New York had a right to decide upon the introduction or abolition of slavery ; and that she stood among her peers equal, and invested with all the privileges that any one of the original thirteen States, and those subse. quently admitted, had a right to eujey. And so [thought that those who hare been contending with so much earnestness and with so much perseverance for the Wilmot Proviso, ought to reflect that even if they could carry their object, and to adopt the Wilmot Proviso, it would cease the moment any State to whose territory it was applicable came to be admitted asa member of the Union. No one contends now—no one believes—that which regard to the northwestern States, to which the ordi. nance of 1787 was applied—Ohio, Indiana, Tli- nois, and Michigan—no one now believes that any one of those States, if they thought proper to do it, has not just as mach a right to intro. duce slavery within her borders as Virginia has a right to maintain the existence of slavery within hers. Then if iu this struggle of power and empire between the two classes of States, a decision of California has taken place adverse to the wishes of the southern States, it is a decision not made by the general government; it is a decision respecting which they cannot com. plain to the general government. Tt isa de. | cesion made by California herself, and which California had inconiestably a right to make uoder the constitution of the United States — There is, then, in the first resolution, accord. ing to the observation which I made some time ayo, a case where neither party concedes ; where the question of slavery, either of in terdiction, is silent as respects the action of this government; and if it has been decided by a different body—by adifferent power—hy Cal. | fornia herself, who bad a right to make that decision. Mr. President, the next resolution of the se- ries which I have offered, | beg gentlemen candidly to Jook at. IT was aware, perfectly aware, of the perseverance with which the Wilinot Proviso was insisted upon. [knew that every one of the free States of this Union —I believe without exception—had, by its leg. islative bodies, passed resolutions instructing its Senators and requesting its representatives to get that restrietion incorporated into any ter- ritorial bil] that might be offered under the au. spices of Congress. T knew how much—al.- though J regretted how much—the free States had—if [ may say so—put their hearts upon the adoption of this measure. In this second resolution E call upon them to waive per- sisting in it. | ask them, forthe sake of peace and ina spirit of mutual forbearance to the other members of the Union, to give it up, and no longer to insist upon it—to see, as they must see, if their eyes are open, the dangers which lie under it, if they persevere in insist- ing upon it, Well, when I called upon them in that res. olution to do this, was [ not bound to offer for the surrender of that favorite measure of theirs same conpensation—not an equivalent by any means, but some compensation—as that spirit of mutual forbearance which animates the one side ought a1 the same time tanimate the other side?) What is it that is offered them? It is a declaration of what | characterize and must style, with great deference to all those who en- tertain the apposite opinioo—t will not say in- contestable, Lut to me clear, and Libivk ibey onght to be regarded ae indisputable trutbs.— Aod wha: are they 7. The first is, that by law }elavery no longer exists in any portion of the acqnisition made by us from the reppblic of Mexico; and the other is, that in our opinion according to all the probabilities of the case, slayery never wil] be introduced into any por- tioa of the lertitories so acquited from Mexico. | | Now I have heard it enid that this declaration " Ss ~arr es ‘ Sa eR © truths is eq Simca a probibition, an interdiction, as to the introduction of slavery within them. But with reg ® those truths, | had hoped, and -etitl indulge the hope, that those who represent the: free States will be inclined not to insist that we shall give—and indeed it would be ex. tremely difficult to give to these declarations— the form of a positive enactmeol Thoped that they would’ be - satisfied’ with the: simple’ ex: pression of the opinion of Congress, leaving it upon t ; for what seems to be almost impracticable, i not impussible—for any subsequent enactments to be introduced into the bill by whieh territo- rial governments shall be established. Lean only say that that second resolution, even with. out the declaration of these two truths, would he more acceptable to me than with them.— But I could not forget that I was propesing a scheme of arrangement and compromise ; and [ could not, therefore, depart from the duty which the preparation of the scheme seemed to me to impose, while we ask upon the one side a surrender of their favorite measure, of offer. ing upon the other side some compensation fur that surrender or sacrifice. Mr. President, the first of these truths is, that hy law slavery dues not exist within the lerri- tories ceded to us by the republic of Mexico.— It is a misfortune in the various weighty and important topics which are connected with the subject that [ am now addressing you upen, that any one of the five or six embraced in these resolutions wauld of itself furnish a theme for a lengthened speech ; and Iam, therefore, ve- duced to the necessity, | think, at least in this stage of the discussion, of limiting myself ratb- er to the expression of opinions, than to going at any great length inte the discussion of all these various topics. Now with respect to the opinion here asserted, that slavery does not ex. ist in the territories ceded to the United States hy Mexico, | ean only refer to the the fact of the passage of a law hy the enpreme Govern. ment of Mexico abolishing it, [ think in the year 1824, and the subsequent passage of a law hy the legislative body of Mexico—f for- get in what year—by which they propose— whal, if is true, they never carried into full ef- feci—a compensation to the owners of slaves for the property of which they were deprived by the act of abolition, [can only refer to the ac. quiesence of Mexico in the abolition of slavery from the time of this extinction down to the time of the treaty by which we acquired those countries. All Mexico, so far as | know, ac. quieaced in the nonexistence of slavery. Gen. tlemen, [ am aware, talk about the irregularity of the acts by which slavery was abolished ; bat does it hecome us, a foreign power, to look into the modes by which an act was accom. plished by a foreign power, when she herselt is satisfied with what is done, and when she, ton, is exclusively the jadge whether the object then local, municipal in Mexico. has or has not been abolished in conformity with her funda. mantal law?) Mexico, upon this subject, show. ed to the last moment her anxiety. In the doc. uments which were laid before the coontry up- on the subject of the negotiation of the treaty hy Mr. Trist, you will tind this passage con. tained in one of his despatches : * Among the points which came under dis. cussion wae the exclusion of slavery from all territory which should pass from Mexico, In the course of theie remarks on the subject. I was told that if it were proposed to the people of the United States to part with a portion of their territory, in order that the inquisition should be therein established, the proposal could not excite stronger feelings of abhorencve than those awakened in Mexico by the prospect of the introduction of slavery in any territory part. ed with by her. Our coaversation on this topic was perfectly frank, and no Jess friendly ; and the more effective upon their minds, inasmuch as | was enabled to say, with perfect security that although their impressions respecting the practicat fact of slavery, as it existed in the U. States, were, I had no doubt, entirely errone- ous, yet there was probably no difference be- tween my individual views and sentiments on slavery, considered in itself, and those which they entertained. [ concluded by assuring them that the bare menéton of the subject: in any treaty to which the United States were party, was an absolute impossibility ; that no President of the United States would dare to present any such treaty to the Senate; and that if it were in their power to offer me the whole territory described in’ our project, in- creased tenfold in value, and, in addition to that covered a foot thick all over with pure gold, upon the single condition that slavery should he excluded therefrom, I contd not entertain the offer for a moment, nor think even of communi- eating it to Washington. ‘The matter ended in their being fully satisfied that this topic was one not to be touched, and it was dropped, with ood feeling on both sides.” Thus you find, sir, that in the very act, in the very negotiation by which the treaty was concluded, ceding to us the countries in ques. tion, the diplomatic representatives of the Mex. ican republic urged the abhorence with which Mexico would view the introduction of slavery into any portion of the territory which sbe was about to cede to the United States. The clause of prohibition was not inserted in consequence lof the firm ground taken by Mr. ‘Prist, and his declaration that it was an utler impossibility to mention the subject. [ take it then, sir—and availing myself of the benefit of the discussions which took place ou a former occasion on this question, and which I think have lefi the whole country under the impression of the non existence of slavery with. in the whole of the territory in the ceded terri- tories—I take it for granted that what T have said, aided by the reflection of gentlemen, will satisfy them of that first truth, that slavery does not exist there hy law, unless slavery was car- ried there the moment the treaty was ratified hy the two parties, and under the operation of the constitution of the United States. Now, really, [must say, that upon the idea that eo ins- tanti upon the consummation of the treaty the constitution of the United States spread itself over the acquired territory and carried along with it the institution of slavery, the proposi- tion is so irreconcileable with any comprehen. sive or reason that | possess, that I baridly know how to meet it. Why, these United States consist of thir. ty States. In fifieen of them there was slave. ry. ia fifleen of them slavery did not exist.— Well, how can it be argued that the fifieen slave States. by the operation of the constitu. tion of she United States, carried into the ceded territory thejr “institution of slavery, any more than it can be argued on the other side of that hy the operation of the same constitution, the fifteen free States carried into the ceded terri- tory the principle of frecdom which they from ete se he basis of that opinion, withoul asking | vivalent fo ; , | thes Mesico, at the moment of the cession of jhese | | let a, 3 countries to ue by the-treaty in question.

Tthink then, Mr. President, that, without trespassing further, or exhausting the little stock of strength which [ have, and for which I shal} have abundant use in the progress of the argu- ment, | may leave that part of the subject, with two or three observations only upon the general power which I think appertains to this Govern. ment on the subject of slavery. . Sir, before Lapproach that subject, allow me to say that, in my humble judgment, the institu- tion of slavery presents two questions totally distinct, and resting on entirely different grounds —slavery within the States, and slavery with- outthe States. Congress, the General Gov. ernment, has no power, under the Constitution of the United States, to touch slavery within the States, except in the three specified particu. lars in that instrument: to adjust the subject of representation ; to impose taxes when a system of direct taxation is made ; and to perform the duty of surrendering, or causing to he delivered up, fugitive slaves that may escape from service which they owe in slave States, and take re- fuge in free States. And, sir, | am ready to say, that if Congress were to altack, within the States, the institution of slavery, for the pur- pose of the overthrow or extinction of slavery, that then, Mr. President, my voice would be for ly turn over.a page of public law of the world | without finding recognised and every where es- | given by one who has grown ola in pub. These laws of Mexico, as they ex- | war; then would te made a case which would justify, in the sight of God and in the presence of the nations of the earth, resistance, on the part of the slace States to such an unconstitu tional and usurped attempt as woud be made on the supposition which | have stated. ‘Then we should be acting in defence of our rights, our domicils, our property, our salety, our lives ; and then, | think, would be furnished a case in which the slavehelding States would be justi. fied. by all considerations which pertain to the happiness and security of man, to employ every instrument which God or nature had placed in their hands to resist such an attempt on the part of the free States. And then, if unfortunately civil war should break out, and we should pre- sent to the nations of the earth the spectacle of one portion of this Union endeavoring to sub. vert an institution in violation of the eonstitu. tion and the most sacred obligations which can hind men; we should present the spectacle in which we should have the sympathies, the good wishes, and the desire for eur success hy all men who love justice and truth. Far different, I fear, would be our case—if unhappily we should be plunged into civil war—il the two parts of this country should be placed ina posi- tion bostile toward each other in order to carry slavery into the new territories acquired from Mexico. Mr. President, we have heard, all of us have | ' | read of the efforts of France to propogate—what, on the continent of Eorepe t Not slavery, sir; not slavery, but the rights of man; and we know the fate of her efforts in a work of that kind. But if the two portions of this Confed- eracy should unhappily be involved in civil war, in which the effort on the one side would be to restrain the introduction of slavery into new territories, and on the othor side tu force its in- troduction there, what a spectacle should we present to the contemplation of astonished man- kind?) An effort not to propagate right, but | must say—though [ trust it’ will be understood to be said with no desire to excite feeling—an acquired trom Mexico? Tt would be a war in which we should have no sympathy, no good ment of the revolution down to the present time, we have constantly reproached our British an- cestors for the introduction of slavery into this country ; and allow me to say that, in my opin. ion, it is one of the best defences which can he made to preserve the institution in this coun. try. that it was forced upon us againsi the wish. es of our ancestors, our own colonial ancestors, and by the cupidity of our British commercial ancestors (To be Continued.) NON-INTERCOURSE. We received by the last mail a letter from a subscri- ber in New York, who expresses himself so much pleas- ed with our views on the subject of non-intercourse, that he is determined to seduce them to practice. forthwith. He therefore desires his account to be forwarded and the paper discontinued. The day on which this letter was dated, thirty thous- and people assembled in New York to see three great Ocean steamers Jaunched. among the number. But whether he was or not, we dare say, it never occurred to him or any of the vast mul - titude that nine-tenths ef the means employed in con- stracting these leviathans of the deep were derived from the labours of the people south of the Potomac. In the first place, of the thirty millions of appropriations annu- ally made by Congress, twenty-five millions at the jow- est figure, find their way into Northern pockets. Inthe second place, cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco are the main sources of Northern wealth. They feed their manofac- tories, they pay the freight by which their vessels are maintained, and they pay the enormous profits realized on their various commercial speculations, If they were kept and used at home, the grand spec- tacle of the launch of three Ocean stenmers, on one ‘day might occasionally be witnessed in the waters of the Chesapeake.

A correspondent of the Pacific News says: This place was visited last night, with a sweeping and distructive fire, consuming an immense a- | mount of merchandize and other property. The total amount of property will not fall _ Short of $150,000 Gen Riley left San Jose on the 22d of December for Monterey, glad, says the | Alta California, to be rid of the cares of Government, and to return to his legiti- mate military sphere and duties. A company is inthe process of organiza- ‘tion at San Francisco, with a capital of $500,000, tor the purpose of establishing a new line of steamers between that place and Panama. 2 The U.S. sloop of war Preble, arrived evening before the She was last from The U.S. ship Falmouth Captain T. Petigrue, had arriv- ed at San Francisco about the 15th of December. A correspondent of the N. Y.Commercial Advertizer, writing from San Francisco, under date of 31st December, says: “There were one hundred cases of fe- ver on the California. coming up from | Panama; two proved fatal. There is more suffering, distress and misery here ‘than in allthe rest of the United States. | This is not only my own opinion, but that | ‘of many intelligent gentlemen long resi- dent here. The burnt district is covered | with workmen, and bids fair to be built over ina week. A number of buildings are already completed, and occupied.” From the Hornets’ Nest. Treating at Elections. Mr. Epitor: The Jurors for the County of Cabarrus, at the January Court, had their attention directed to a | practice which they are constrained to regard asa great and growing evil inour County. The practice to which allusions has been made, is that of Candidates for the different offices within the gift of the people, treating be- | fore and at the time of election. We are satisfied from what we have seen and heard, that the tendency of this practice is to pollute the fountain head of all power among a free, and independent people—by “ stealing away the brains” of many when they come to exercise | Its tendency is to | sap the foundations’on which our glorious republic has | their dearest rights at the ballot-box. been built, and add another tributary to that stream of Intemperance which has been sweeping with such des- olating power through our country, filling many of the homes of our citizens with wretchedness and poverty, and hurrying them down to an untimely grave, ‘‘un- | This practice when carried toa | honored and unsung.” certain point, will drive men of sober habits, sound prin- ciples, and stern integrity from the field, for they cannct be elected without doing violence to the settled princi- ples by which they are governed. And the consequence | will be, unless the practice is arrested, that the counsels of our nation, and the offices of trust and profit, under our government, will be filled by those who “ have said to corruption, thou art my father, and to the wrong thou art my mother, and my sister.” We are convinc- ed that the peace and dignity of our country—the secu- rity of our blood bought liberties—in short, every thing that is fair and lovely, and of good report amongst us, require that the practice should be arrested. Other counties have risen up in their might, and said to this evil, ‘‘ thus far shalt thou come and no farther.” We believe that there is as much strength, both moral and physical, in Cabarrus, in proportion to her size and pop- ulation, as in any of the surrounding counties. What other counties have done, we know that Cabarrus can | do. We only regret that she is not among the first- ranks of those that have put their foot upon this evil.— As Jurors we are to some extent the protectors of the rights, and privileges, of our fellow citizens—we are the guardians of the peace ard dignity of our country.— And ia this capdcity we would most respectfully, but at the same time most earnestly request, those who may be | NE os of the county will unite with us in carryin: - lowing js ctcbulde é arrying out the fal Resolved, i re = barrus, will not RE tig ph “ e as way, any candidates for offices within our gift, #hd.will either treat themselves, or cause others to treat for them. We are fully assured, that an overwhelming majority of our citizens are opposed, decidedly, and firmly, to the practice of treating. And all that is necessary to give the death-blow-to this evil, is for the friends of law and order to bring their influence to a point. We have, therefore, pénned this resolution as a rallying point for those who wish to have every thing done decently and in order. We therefore, respectfully request all our cit- izens to unite with us in carrying out the above resolution. We will thus throw a shield and safe-gaard around the ballot-box—the fountain head of power in a republican government. JOHN MOORE, |RICH. MARTIN, J.C. HAYER, SAM’L PHARR, JO. HINESMAN,|JOS.

PROSPECTUS RICHARD'S WEEKLY GAZETTE. Berne anew and much enlarged series of the “ South- ern Literary Cazette,’—the only weekly Journal, South of the Potomac, devoted to Literature and the Arts in General—and designed for the family Circle. The Proprietor begs leave to announce that on Satur- day, the 5th of May, he issued the first number, for the second year, of this popular and well established paper, | —the name and form of which he has changed, to en- | large the scope of its observation and to otherwise in- crease its attractions. Less exclusively devoted, than heretofore to Literature, the Arts and Seienees, it will be the aim of the Proprietor to make it in every respect, ‘as cheap as the cheapest, and as good as the best. Utterly discarding the notion that a Southern Journal cannot compete with the Northern weeklies in | cheapness and interest, RICHARD’S WEEKLY GAZETTE shall be equal, in mechanical execution, to any of them, and, in the variety, freshness and value of its contents, | second to none. Its fields will be the world, and it will contain, in its ample folds Every Speeies of Popular Information. , Numerous articles, original and selected, from the best sources, will be published weekly and this department, as, indeed, all others will be frequently Illustrated with Wood Cuts. Every number will contain careful and copious summa- ries of the latest Foreign and Domestic News! in Commercial, Civil, Political, and Ecclesiastical Af- fairs. At the same time, there shall be nothing in its co- lumns that can be considered either Partizan or Sectarian. Many distinguished writers will contribute to the Journal, whose names are highly esteemed in the “ World of Letters.” Feb. 20, 1850. TERMS: Single copies, a year, ®2 00, strictly in advance.

HE Subscriber offers for sale a small lot of Land situated on the Road to Locke’s Bridge, one mile and a half from Salisbury. It consists of 20 or 22 Aeres, uneleared. There is some good timber on it, and a large quantity of fire wood ; and its nearness to Town, where there is a never failing demand for wood, makes it much more valuable, than richer land situated at a greater distance off. The soil is not of the first quality. But the location compensates for its deficiency in this respect; and the hand of industry could soon make it one of the most desirable places for a residence. The subscriber would also remind the public that as the great Central Rail Road project is now looked upon as successful be- yond a doubt, every inch of land, especially near this Town, must soon be greatly enhanced in value ; and those who wish to obtain such property there, should lose no time in doing so.

Ain— The Wizard's Waltz..” As the sun fled away to his home in the bay, And lighted like diamonds the silvery spray : And the canopied grove bade a welcome to love, As fairy-like dreams of the future he wove ; Then my Tessie and I sought the old caatle wall, When the shadows steal out where the ivy wreaths fall, And the mountain tops seem, in the lingering beam, | To be tinged with a promise of dawning, for aye! | O the heart of my Tessie was light as the scene, And her whispering chimed with the zephyr of e’en. | While the voice of the Sea, by the surf beaten shore, | Came faint with the bliss of the music it bore! Our theme was young love, and its visions that spring, Like the cheering of hope with the petrel’s soft wing, | When the storm-tide of grief has swept over the soil, That calinly the wave of the morrow may roll! Pale starlight alone—from its ebony throne, Heard the vows that my Tessie so fondly repaid, And I knew, near the grove where the hawthorn- sweets rove, That she loved with a fervor that never can fade. Then silent we passed by the old castle-wall, When the shadows are deep where the ivy-wreaths fall, And the mountain-tops seem, in the tremulus beam, To be tinged with a promise of dawning for aye! OH DEAR'I DIDN'T KNOW ’TWAS YOU. Old Birch, who taught the village school, Wedded a mate of homespun habit ; And she as playful as a rabbit. He was as stubborn as a mule. Poor Kate had scarce become a wife, Before her husband sought to make her The pink of couniry polishdd life, And prim and formal as a quaker. One day her tutor went abroad, And simple Kitty sadly missed him ; When he returned, behind her lord She slowly stole and fondly kissed him! The busband’s anger rose !—and red And white his face alternate grew! “ Less freedom, ma’m !”—Kate sighed and said, “ Qh dear! I didn’t know ’twas you !” THE CHURCH PORCH. “ Although I enter not Yet round about the spot Sometimes I hover, And at the sacred gate, With longing eyes I wait, Expectant of her. “The Minister bell tolls out Above the city’s rout And noise and humming: They've stopp’d the chiming bell, I hear the organ’s swell— She’s coming, she’s coming! “ My lady comes at last, Timid and stepping fast, And hastening thither, With modest eyes outcast, She comes—she’s here—she’s past,— May Heaven go with her! “ Kneel undisturb’d, fair saint, Pour out your praise or plaint, Meekly and duly. I will not enter there, To sully your pure prayer With thoughts unruly. “ But suffer me to pace Round the forbidden place, Lingering a minute, Like outcast spirits. who wait, And see through Heaven's gate Angels within it.” From the New York Tribune.

A FACT WORTH REMEMBERING. “By the breath of God, frost is given.” It is a well-known law of nature, that all bodies are expanded by heat, and con. tracted by cold. There is only one excep- tion to this law which exists in the econ- omy of our globe, and that is, the expan- sion of water in the act of freezing.— While the parts of every other body are reduced in bulk, and there specific grav- ity increased by the application of cold water; on the contrary, when congealed into ice, is increased in bulk, and becomes of a less specific gravity than tbe surroun- ding water, and therefore swims upon the surface. Now, had the case been other- wise ; had water, when deprived of a por- tion of its beat, followed the general law of nature, and, like all other bodies be- eome specifically heavier than it was be- fore, the present constitution of nature would have been materially deranged, and many of our present comforts, and e- ven our very extstence, would have been endangered. At whatever time the tem- perature of the atmosphere became redu- | ced to 32 degrees, of the common ther- | mometer, or to what is called the freez- | ing point, the water on the surface of our | &c., &c., blue Cotton Yarn, white mixed and clouded do., for knitting, (very fine,) Weaver's reeds, 4-4 to 5-4 wide, of the best make, Groceries, Bagging Rope and Twine. rivers and lakes would have been con- verted into a layer of ice; this layer weuld have sunk to the bottom as it froze; an- other layer of ice would have been imme- diately produced. which would also have sunk to the former layer, and so on, in succession, till, in the course of time, all our rivers, from the surface to the bottom and every other portion of water, capable of being frozen, would have been conver- ted into solid heat of summer could never have melted, we should have been deprived of most of the advantages we now derive from the liquid element, and in a short time, the But, in the ex- isting constitution of things, all such dis | mal effects are prevented in consequence of the Creator having subjected the waters to alaw contrary to that of other fluids, by means of which the frozen water swims upon the surface, and preserves the cold from penetrating to any great depth in the subjacent fluid; and when the heat of | the atmosphere is increased, it is exposed to its genial influence, and is quickly changed into its former liquid state. How admirably, then, does this exception to the general law of nature display the in- finite intelligence of the great Contriver of all things, and his providential care for the comfort of his creatures, when he ar- ranged and established the economy of nature !—Silliman. The Pictnre of Washington.—The Hun. garian exiles, on a visit last Friday to Brooklin, stopped to visit the Mayor at the City Hall. After an interchange of some remarks between themselves and Mr. Copland, they were taken into the com- mon council chamber, where Ujbazy and his friends were particularly struck by a splendid portrait of Gen Washington, which adorns the upper end of the cham. ber. Gov. Ujhazy stood before it, and with the whole party around him. his lady on his left arm, and his daughter Cla- ra leaning on the other, for some time continued to contemplate the painting with still and profound emotion. At length he broke out, and gave vent to his feelings, speaking inthe German language —the very language of impassioned feel- ing: “Washington! Washington! Chil- dren, see you there Washington! Him whose memory we honor in Hungary— | of whom at home. we have heard and spoken somuch! Yes, we must, we will make a pilgrimage to his grave, to do honor to his memory.” Every one pres- ent was silently and deeply affected at the scene, and the tear of sympathy and emo. in those of the Governor and the gentle ladies who leaned upon bis arm.—Paila- delphia News.

Asaremedy for this most distressing and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES deserve a distinct and emphatic recommendation. It is well known to hundreds w this city, that the former proprietor of these valu- able Medicines was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwards of THIRTY-FIVE YEARS ; and that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of the Materia Medica. He however at length tried the Medicine which » now offered to the public, and he was cured ip a very short time, after his recovery had been pro- nounced not only improbable, but absolutely im- possible, by any human means. FEVER AND AGUE. For this scourge of the western country these Medicines will be found a safe, speedy, and certain remedy. Other medicines leave the system sub- ject to areturn of the disease—a cure by these medicines is permanent—TRY THEM, BE SA- TISFIED, AND BE CURED. Bilfous Fevers and Liver Complaints. General Debility, Loses or APprerite, AND Diseaees or FemMaLes—these medicines have been used with the most beneficial results in cases of this description :—Kune’s Evit, and Scroruta, in is worst forms, yields to the mild yet powerful actiou a these remarkable Medicines. Nicut Sweats, Nervous Desiity, Nervovs Compxaints of all kinds, PavritaTion or THE Heart, PainTEx® Cottc, are speedily cured. MERCURIAL DISEASES. Persons whose constitutions have become im- paired by the injudicious use of Mercury, will find these Medicines a perfect cure, as they never fail to eradicate from the system all the effects o Mercury infinitely sooner than the most powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla.

The power then, Mr. President, in my ‘sion—aad | will extend it to the intro- ion as Well as the prohibition of sla- in the new territories—I think the does exist in Congress, and I think Preis thatimportant distinction between 70 ry outside of the States and slavery : sia of the States, that all outside is de- patable, all inside of the States is unde- ble. The Government has no right H «touch the institution within the States ; pot whether she has, and to what extent H she bas the right or not to touch it ouside ’ of the States, js a question which is deba- iable, and upon which men may honestly and fairly differ, but which, decided how- ever it MAY be decided, furnishes, in my jodgment, no just occasion for breaking sp this happy and glorious Union of ours.

Mr. President, I shall not take up time, of which already so much has been con- sumed, to show that, according to my sense of the constitution of the United Sites, or rather according to the sense in very wer he last fifty years, the clause which con- ks on Congress the power to regulate the Territories and other property of the United States conveys the authority.

THU —— RSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1850. of the constitation no doabt was, that, in- asmuch.as this power was temporary, as it is applicable to unpeopled territory, and as that territory will become peopled population which may entitle it to t benefit of self government, in the mean time it is right and proper that Congress, who owns the soil, should regulate the settlement of the soil, and govern the set- tlers on the soil until those settlers acquire number and capacity to govern them, selves, Sir, I will not farther dwell upon this part of the subject; but I said there is another source of power equally satisfac- tory, equally conclusive in my mind as that which relates to the territories, and that is the treaty-making power—the ac- quiring power. Now, I put it to gentle- men, is there not at this moment a power somewhere existing either to admit or ex- clude slavery from the ceded territory ? It is not an annihilated power. That is impossible. It is a subsisting, actual ex- isting power; and where does it exist? It existed, | presume no one will contro- vert, in Mexico prior to the cession of these tersitories. Mexico could have a- bolished slavery or introduced slavery ei- ther in California or Mexico. That must be conceded. Who will controvert this position? Well, Mexico has parted from the territory and from the sovereignty over the territory ; and to whom did she transfer it? She transferred the territory and the sovereignty of the territory to the Government of the United States. The Government of the United States, then, acquires in sovereignty and in territory over California and New Mexico, all, ei- ther in sovereignty or territory, that Mex- ico held in California or New Mexico, by the cession of those territories. Sir, dis- pute that who can. The power exists or it does not; no one will contend for its believe he and I have known each other lager than he or I have known any other nator in this ball—I cannot concur, al- hoagh I entertain the most profound re- gect for the opinions he has advanced npos the subject adverse to my own; but ] must say, when a point is settled by all the elementary writers of our country, by all the departments of our Government, legislative, executive, and judicial—_when ithas been so settled for a period of fifty years, and never was seriously disturbed til recently, that I thiok, if we are to re- gard any thing as fixed and settled under the administration of this constitution of ours, it is a question which has thus been invariably and uniformly settled ina par- ‘| tieclar way. Or are we to come to this ] conclusion, that nothing, nothing on earth 4 is seitled under this constitution, but that a tvery thing is ansettled ? 4 Mr. President, we have to recollect it is very possible—sir, it is quite likely—that ven that constitution was framed the HM uplication of it to such Territories as louisiana, Florida, California, and New exico was never within the contempla- im ion of its framers. It will be recollected tat when that constitution was framed te whole country northwest of the river Jhio was unpeopled ; and it will be recol- ected also that the exercise and the as- ettion of the power to make governments it Territories in their infant state are, in te nature of the power, temporary, and ‘terminate whenever they have acquired ‘population competent for self-govern- pq Neat. Sixty thoosand is the number fixed | by the ordinance of 1787. Now, sir, re- wileet that when this constitution was Wopted, and that territory was anpeopled, Nit possible that Congress, to whom it iad 0 ceded by the States for the com- “} %n benefit of the ceding State and all wm ther members of the Union—is it possi- | im ' that Congress has no right whatever 9° declare what description of settlers tould oceupy the public lands? Suppose took up the opinion that the intro- of slavery would enhance the ‘lue of the land, and enable them to *“amand for the public treasury a great- "amount from that source of revenue en by the exclusion of slaves, would | &y not have had the right to say, in fix- &%the rules, regulations, or whatever , Mchoose to call them, for the govern- fy *at of that Territory, that any one that | i ecses to bring slaves may bring them, | . te will enhance the value of the proper- a in the clearing and cultivation of the ee oe ae : . q“ntry?

Had they even power vas Inired themselves—a handful of men RG w@blished themselves at Marietta ‘dcinnati " No, sir: the contemplation annihilation. It existed in Mexico. No one, I think, can deny that Mexico alien- ates the sovereignty over the territory, and her alience is the Government of the United States. The Government of the United States, then, possesses all the pow- er which Mexico possessed over the ceded Territories, and the Government of the United States can do in referrence to them —within, I admit, certain limits of the constitution—- whatever Mexicocould have done. There are prohibitions upon the power of Congress. within the constitution, which prohibitions, I admit, must apply to Congress whenever she legislates, whe- ther for the old States or for the new Ter- ritories; but, within those prohibitions, the powers of the United States over the ceded territories are co-extensive and e- qual to the powers of Mexico in the ceded territories prior to the cession. , Sir, in regard to this treaty-making power, all who have any occasion to ex- amine into its character and to the possi- ble extent to which it may be carried, know that it is a power unlimited in its nature, except in so far as any limitation may be found in the Constitution of the United States ; and upon thissubject there is no limitation which prescribes the ex- tent to which the powers should be exer- cised. I know, sir, it is argaed that there is no grant of power in the constitution in specific terms over the subject of slavery any where ; and there is no grant in the constitution to Congress specifically over the subject of a vast variety of matters upon which the powers of Congress may unquestionably operate. The major in- cludes the minor. The general grant of power comprehends all the particulars and elements of which that power con- sists. The power of acquisition by treaty draws after it the power of government of the country acquired. If there be a power to acquire, there must be, to use the language of the tribunal that sits be- low, a power to govern. I think, there- fore, sir, without, at least for the present, dwelling further on this part of the sub- ject, that to the two sources of authority in Congress to which I have referred, and especially to the last, may be traced the power of Congress to act in the territo- ries in question ; and, sir, I go to the ex- tent, and I think it is a power in Congress equal to the introduction or exclusion of slavery. I admit the argument in both its forms; I admit if the argument be maintained that the power exists to ex— clude slavery, it necessarily follows that the power must exist, if Congress choose to exercise it, to tolerate or introduce and add to the importance of the slavery within the territories. But, sir, | have been drawn off so far from the second resolution—not from the object of it, but from a particular view of it—that it has almost gone out of recol- lection. The resolution asserts— “ That as slavery does not exist by law, and is not likely to be introduced into any of the territory acquired by the United States from the Republic of Mexico, it is inexpedient for Congress to provide by law either for its introduction into er ex- clusion from any part of the said territo- ry; and that appropriate Territorial Go- vernments ought tobe established by Con- gress in all of the said territory, not as- signed as the boundaries of the p State of California, without the adoption of any restriction er condition on the sub- ject of slavery.” The other truth which I respectfully and with great deference coneeive to ex- ist, and which is announced if this” FESO- ee gradually, insensibly, until it reaqhes 8. h lution, is, that slavery is not likely to be introduced into any of these territories. Well, sir, is not that a fact? Is there a member who hears me that will not con- firm the fact? What has occurred withb- in the last three months? In California, more than in any other portion of the ceded territory, was it most probable, if slavery was adapted to the interests of the industrial pursuits of the inhabitants, that slavery would have been introduced ? Yet, within the space of three or four months, California herself bas declared, by a unanimous vote of her Convention, against the introduction of slavery within her limits. And, as I remarked on a for- mer occasion, this declaration was net confined to non slaveholders. There were persons from the slaveholding States who concurred in that declaration. Thus this fact which is asserted in the resolution is responded to by the act of California.— Then, sir, if we come down to those moun- tain regions which are to be found in New Mexico, the nature of its soil and country, its barrenness, its unproductive character, every thing which relates to it, and every thing which we hear of it and about it, must necessarily lead to the con- clusion which I have mentioned, that slavery is not likely to be introduced into them. Well, sir, if it be true that by law slavery does not now exist in the ceded territories, and that it is not likely to be introduced into the ceded territories—if you, Senators, agree to these truths, or a majority of you, as I am persuaded alarge majority of you must agree them—where is the objection or the difficulty to your announcing them to the whole world 7— Why should you hesitate or falter in the promulgation of incontestable truths !— On the other hand, with regard to Sena. tors coming from the free States, allow me here to make, with reference to Cali- fornia, one or two observations. When this feeling within the limits of your States was gotten up; when the Wilmot provi- so was disseminated through them, and your people and yourselves to that provi- so, what was the state of facts? The state of facts at that time was, that you apprehended the introduction of slavery there. You did not know much—very few of us now know much—about these very territories. They were far distant from you. You were apprehensive that alavery might he intraoduoed there. You wanted as a protection to introduce the interdiction called the Wilmot proviso.— It was in this state of want of informa- tion that the whole North blazed up in behalf of this Wilmot proviso. It was under the apprension that slavery might be introduced there that you left your constituents. For when you came from home, at the time you left your respective residences, you did not know the fact, which has only reached us since the com- mencement of the session of Congress, that a constitution had been unanimously a- dopted by the people of California, exclu- ding slavery from their territory. Well, now, let me suppose that two years ago if it had been known inthe free States that such a constitution would be adopted ; let me suppose that it had been believed that in no other portion of these ceded territories would slavery be intro- duced ; let me suppose that upon the great subject of solicitude, negro slavery, the people of the North had been perfectly satisfied that there was no danger; let me also suppose that they had foreseen the excitement, the danger, the irritation, the resolutions which have been adopted by Southern Legislatures, and the mani- festations of opinion by the people of the slaveholding States—let me suppose that all this had been known at the North at the time when the agitation was first got up upon the subject of this Wilmot pro- viso—do you believe that it would have ever reached the height to which it has attained? Do any one of you believe it ? And if, prior to your departure from your respective bomes, you had had an oppor- tonity of conferring with your constituents upon this most leading and important fact —of the adoption of a constitution exclu- ding slavery in California—do you. not believe, Senators and Representatives coming from the free States, that if you had had the advantage of that fact told in serious, calm, fire side conversation with your constituents, they would not have told you to come here and to settle all these agitating questions without danger tothis Union ? What do you want? What do you want who reside in the free States? You want that there shall be no slavery intro- duced into the territories acquired from Mexico. Well, have not you got it in California already, if admitted asa State? Have not you got it in New Mexico, in alt human probability, also? What more do you want? You have got what is worth a thousand Wilmot provisos. You have got nature itself on your side. You have the fact itself on your side. You have the truth staring you in the face that no slavery is existing there. Well, if you are men; if you can rise from the mud and slough of party struggles and elevate yourselves to the height of patriots, what will-you do? You will look at the fact as it exists. You will say this fact was | unknown to my people. You will say. they acted on one set of facts, we have got another set of facts here influencing us, and we will act as patriots, as responsible men, as lovers‘of unity, and above all of | tivity, Many of our citizens, of all ages and ap this Union. We will act on the altered set of facts unknown to our constituents, and we will appeal to their justice, their honor, their magnanimity to copcur with us on this occasion, for establishing con- cord and harmony and maintaining the existence of this glorious Union. Well, Mr. President, Ithink,entertaining these views, that, there was nothing extravagant in the hope in which I indulged at the time these resolutions were prepared and offered—noth- ing extravagant in the hope that the North might content itselfeven with striking out as unnecessary these two declarations. They are unnecessary for any purpose the free States have in view. At all events, if they should in. sist upon Congress expressing the opinions which are here asserted, that, at all events, they should limit their wishes to the simple as. sertion of them, without insisting on their be. ing incorporated in any Territorial Government which Congresé may establish in the Territo- ries. U pase on from the second resolution to the third and fourth, which relate to Texas; and allow me to say, Mr. Prestdent, that I approach the subject with a full knowledge of all its dif. ficulties ; and, of all the questions connected with or growing out of this institution of slave. ry which Congress is called upon to pass upon and decide: there are none so difficult and troublesome as those which relate to Texas, because, sir, Texas has a question of bounda. ry to settle, and a question of slavery, or the feelings connected with it run into the ques- tion of boundary. The North, perhaps, will be anxious to contract Texas within the nar. rowest possible limits, in order to exclude all beyond her to make it a free territory ; the South, on the contrary, may be anxious to ex- tend these limits to the sources of the Rio Grande, for the purpose -of creating an addi- tional theatre for slavery; and thus, to the question of the limits of Texas, and the settle. ment of her boundary, the slavery question, with all its troubles and difficulties, is added, meet- ing us at every step we take, There is, sir, a third question, also, adding to the difficulty. By the resolution of annexa. tion slavery was interdicted in all north of 36° 30’; but of New Mexico, that portion of it which lies 36° 30’ embraces, I think, about one-third of the whole of New Mexico east of the Rio Grande ; so that you have free and slave territory mixed, boundary and slavery mixed together, and all these difficulties are to be en. countered. And allow me to say, sir, that among the considerations which induce me to think that it was necessary to settle all these ques. tions, was the state of things that now exists in New Mexico, and the state of things to be apprehended both there and in other portions of the Territories. Why. eir, at thio moment —and I think I shall have the concurrence of the two Senators from that State when I an. nounce the fact—at this moment there is a feeling approximating to abhorence on the part of the people of New Mexico at the idea of any union with Texas. Mr. RUSK. Only, sir, on the part of the office-seekers and army followews who have <ihie there, and attempted to mislead the peo. ple. Mr. CLAY. Ab! Sir, that may be, and I am afraid that Mexico is not the only place where this class composes a majority of the whole population of the country. [Laughter.] Now, sir, if the questions are not settled which relate to Texas, her boundaries, and so forth, and to the territory now claimed by Tex- as and disputed by New Mexico—the territo- ries beyond New Mexico which are excluded from California—if the questions are not set. tled, I think they will give rise to future confu- sion, disorder, and anarchy there, and to agita- tion here. There will be, I have no doubt, a party stil! at the North crying out, if these questions are not settled this session, for the Wilmot Proviso, or some other restriction up. on them, and we shall absolutely do nothing in my opinion, if we do not accommodate all these difficulties and provide against the recur- rence of al] these dangers. Sir, with respect tothe state of things in N. Mexico, allow me to call the attention of the Senate to what [ consider as the highest au- thority I could offer to them as tu the state of things there existing. I mean in the acts of their Convention, unless that Convention hap- pens to have been composed altogether of office seekers, office-holders, and so forth. Now, sir, I call your attention to what they say in de- picting their own situation. Mr. Unperwoop. at Mr. Cray’s request, read the following extract from instructions as adopted by the Convention, appended to the journal of the Convention of the Territory of New Mexico, held at the city of Santa Fe, in September, 1849: ‘* We, the people of New Mexico, in Conven. tion assembled, having elected a Delegate to represent this Territory in the Congress of the United States, and to urge upon the Supreme Government a redress of our grievances, and the protection due to us as cilizens of our com. mon country, under the Con-titution, instruct him as follows: That whereas, for the last | three years, we have suffered under the paralys- ing effects of a government undefined and doubt- ful in its character, inefficient to protect the rights of the people, or to discharge the high _and absolute duty of every Governmeat, the en- | foreement and regular administration of its own ‘Jaws, in consequence of which, industry and enterprise are paralysed, and discontent and confusion prevail throughont the land. The | want of proper protection agesinst the va- | rious barbarous tribes of Indians that sur- round us on every side, has prevented the ex- ‘tension of settlements upon our valuable pub- 'Tic domain, and rendered utterly futile every | altempt to explore or develop the great resour- | ces of the Terrtory. Surrounded by the Utahs, | Camanches, and Apaches on the north, east, ‘and south, by the Navejos on the west, with Jicarillas within our limits, and without any adequate protection against their hostile ia- | roads, our flocks and herds are driven off by | thousands, our fellow-cilizens, men, women, | and ehildren, are murdered or carried into cap- sexes, are at this moment suffering all the hor- rors of barbarian bondage, and it is utterly out of our power to obtain their release from a con. dition to which death would be preferable. — The wealth of our Territory is being diminish. ed. We have neither the means nor any adopt. ed plan by Government for the education of the rising generation. In fine, with a government temporary, doubtful, ancertain, and inefficient in character and in operation, surrounded and despoiled by barbarous foes, ruin appears inev. itably before us, unless speedy and effectual protection be extended to us by the Congress of the United States.” There is a series of resolutions, Mr. Presi- dent, which any gentleman may look at, if he chooses; but I think it is not worth while to take up the time of the Senate in reading it. That isthe condition, sir, of N. Mexico. Well, I suspect that to go beyond it, to go beyond the Rio Grande to the territory which is not claim. ed by Texas, you will not find a much better state of things. In fact, sir, I cannot fur a mo- ment reconcile it to my sénse of duty to suffer Congress to adjourn without an effort, at least being made to extend the benefits, the blessings of government to those people who have recent. ly been acquired by us. Sir, with regard to that portion of New Mex. ico which lies east of the Rio Grande, undoubt- edly, if it is conceded to ‘Texas, while she has two parties, disliking each as much as those office holders and office seekers alluded by the Senator from Texas, if they possibly be drawn together and governed quietly, peaceably, and comfortably, there might be a remedy, so far as relates to the country east of the Rio Grande; but all beyond it—Deseret and the north of California—would be still open and liable to all the consequences of disunion, confusion, and anarchy, without some stable government ema. nating from the authority of the nation of which they now compose a part, and with which they are but little acquainted. I think, therefore, that all these questions, difficult and trouble- some as they may be, ought to be met ; met in a spirit of candor and calmness, and decided upon as a matter of duty. Now, these two resolutions which we have immediately under consideration propose a de- cision of these questions. I have said, sir, that there is scarcely a resolution in the series which I have offered that does not contain some mutual concession or evidence of mutual for- bearance, where the concession was not alto- gether from the non-elaveholding to the slave- holding States. Now, with respect to this resolution propos. ing a boundary for Teas, what is it? We know the difference ot opinion which has exist- ed in this country with respect to that boundary. We know thata very large portion of the peo- ple of the United States have supposed that the western limit of Texas was the Nueces, and that it did not extend to the Rio Grande. We know, by the resolution of annexation, that the question of what is the western limit and the northern limit of Texas, was an open question —that it has been all along an open ques. tion. It was an open question when the boun. dary was run, in virtue of the act of 1838, marking the boundary between the U. States and Texas. Sir, at that time the boundary au- thorized by the act of 1838, was a boundary commencing at the mouth of the Sabine and running up to its head, thence to Red river, thence westwardly with Red river to, I think the hundredth degree of west Jongitutde. Well, sir, that did not goso far as Texas now claims ; and why? Because it was an open question. War was yet raging between Texas and Mex. ico; and it was not foreseen exactly what might be herult imate limits. But, sir, we will come to the question of what was done at the time of her annexation. This whole resolu- tion which relates to the question of boundary, from beginning to end, assumes an ope bound. ry, an unascertained, unfixed boundary to Tex. as onthe west. Sir, what is the first part of the resolution ? It is that ‘* Congress doth con- sent that the territory properly included within and rightfully belonging to the Republic of Tex- as, may be erected into a new State.” Properly included in—rightfully belong to. The reso- lution specifies no boundary. It could specify none. It has specified no western or northern boundary for ‘Texas, It has assumed in this state of uncertainty what we know in point of factexisted. But the the latter part of it :— “Said State to be formed subject to the adjust. ment of all questions of boundary that may arise with other Governments, and the constitution thereof,” &c. That is to say, she is annexed with her rightful and proper boundaries, with- oul a specification of them; but inasmuch as it was known that these boundaries at the west and the north were unsettled, the Government of the United States retained to itself the pow- er of settling with any foreign nation what the boundary should be. Now, sir, it is impossible for me to go into the whole question and to argue it fully. I mean to express opinions or impressions rath- er than to go into the entire argument. ‘The Western and northern limit of ‘Texas being un- settled, and the Government of the U. States having retained the power of settling it, I ask, suppose the power had been exercised, and that there had been no cession of territory by Mexico to the United States, but that the nego. tiations between the two countries had been limited simply to the fixation of the western and northern limits of Texas, could it not have been done by the United States and Mexico conjointly 1 Will any one dispute it? Sup. pose there had been a treaty of limits of Tex- as concluded between Mexico ard the United States, fixing the Nueces as the Western limit of Texas, would not Texas have been bouad by it? Why, by the express terms of the res- olution she would have been bound by it; or, if it had been the Colorado or the Rio Grande, or any other boundary, whatever western limit had been fixed by the joint action of the (wo Powers, would have been binding and obliga- tory upon Texas by the express terms of the resolution hy which she was admitted into the Union. Now, sir, if Mexico and the United States conjointly, by treaty, might have fixed upon the western northern limits of Texas, and if the United States have aquired by ped all the gubjects upon which the limits of Texas countries? It seema.to me, cif, that!thig-con- clusion and is perfectly irresictible. If Mexico aod the Usk | could have fiz. ed upon any western limit-for. Tetagy hod‘did not do it, and if the United States have acquired to themselves or acquired by the treaty-ia.ques- tion, all the- territory upon which the.svestera limit must have been fised,-when it it seems to me that no one can Pie oat eal conclusion that the United States now: hasé themselves a power to do what-the. Us States and Mexico conjonitly could have. dons. - Sir, | admit it is a delicate power-amex- lremely delicate power. I admit thetiit ought to be exercised in a spirit of justice, dihesality, and generosity towards this the youngest meat- ber of the great American family. .But.bere the power is. Possibly, sir, upoa that question —however I offer no positive bly, if the United States were to fix itia a wag unjust in the opinion of Texas, and confegry to her rights, she might bring the question. before the Supreme Court of the United. States, and ~" have it there again investigated and decided. — - [ say possibly, sir, because I am pot. one of the class of politicians whe believe that a questionis a compeient and proper question the Supreme Court of the U, States. There are questions too large for any tribunal ot that kind to try ; great political questions, national terris - torial questions, which transcend. their Jimite ; for such questions or not, I. shall. not decide ; but I will maintain that the United States are now invested solely and exclusively with shat power which was common to both nations —te fix, ascertain, and settle the western and north, era limits of Texas. 5 Sir, the other day my bonorable friesd wha represents so well the Btate of Texas, said.that we had no more right to touch the Jimiteof Texas than we bad to touch the limite ofjikan- tucky. I think that was the i gave us—that a State is one and indivigi that the General Government has no sight-to sever- it. I agree with bim, sir, in that; where the limits are ascertained and certain, where they are undisputed and indisputable. The Gener- al Government has no right, nor has any other earthly power the right, to interfere with the limits of a State whose boundaries are thue fix- ed, thus ascertained, known, aod recognised. The whole power, at least, to interfere. with it is voluntary. The extreme case may.be. put— one which I trust in God may never ha, ia this natioa—of a conquered nation, of es constitution adopting itself to the state of sub- Jugation or conquest to which it has been reduc- ed; and giving up whole States, as well as parts. of States, in order to save-from the:con- queriog arms of the invader what remains. _I say such a power in case of extremity may ex- ist. But I admit that, short of such extremity, voluntarily, the General Government bas ao right to separate a State—to take a portion of its territory from it, or to regard it otherwise than as integral, one and indivisible, and-not to be affected by any legislation of ours, But, then, I assume, what does not exist io the case of Texas, that these boundaries must be knowa, ascertained, and indisputable. With to Texas, all was open, all wae unfixed; all is unfixec at this moment, with respect to her lim- its west and north of the Nueces. But, sir, we gave fifteen millions of dollars-for this territory that we bought, and God knows what a costly bargain to this now distracted country it has been! We gave fifieen millions of dollars for the territory ceded to us by Mex- ico Can Texas justly, fairly, and honorably come into the Union and claim all that she has asserted a right to, without paying any portion of the fifteen millions of dullars which consti- tuted the consideration of the grant by the ce- ded nation to the United States? She propo- ses no such thing. She talks, indeed, about the United States having been her agent, her trustee. Why, sir, the United States was no more her agent or her trustee than she was the agent or trustee of the whole people of the U. nited States. ‘Texas involved herself in war— (I mean to make this no re none—upon the past)—Texas brought herself into a state of war, and, when she got into that war, it was not the war of Texas.aad Mexico, but it was the war of the whole thirty United States and Mexico; it was a war in which the Government of the United States, which crea- ted the hostilities, was as much the (trustee and ‘agent of the twenty-nine other States compos. ing the Union as she was the trustee and agent of Texas. And, sir, with respect to all these circumstances—such, for example, as a treaty with a map annexed, as in the case of the re- cent treaty with Mexico; such as the opinion of individuals highly respected and eminent, like the lamented Mr. Polk, late President of the United States, whose opinion was that he had no right, as President oF the United States, or in any character otherwise than as negotia- ting with Mexico—and in that the Senate woold have to act in concurrence with him—that be had no right (o fix the boundary ; and as tothe map attached to the treaty, it is sufficient te say that the treaty itself is silent from ning to end on the subject of the fization of the boundary) of Texas. ‘The annexation of the map to the treaty was a matter of no utility, for the treaty is not strengthened by it ; it no more affirms the truth of any thing delineated upon that map in relation to Texas than it does any thing in relation to any other geographical sub- ject that composed the map. Mr. President, I have said that I think the power has been concentrated in the Govern. ment of the United States to fix apon the limits of the State of Texas. I have said also that this power ought to be exercised in a spirit of great liberality and justice ; and I put it to you, sir, to say, in reference to this second resolu- tion of mine, whether that liberality and justice has not been displayed in the resolution which I bave proposed? In the resolution, what is proposed? To confine ber to the Nueces 1—~ No, sir. To extend her boundary tothe mouth of the Rio Grande, and thence up that river to the southern limit of New Mexico ; and thence along that limit to the boundary betweea the United States and Spain, as marked under the treaty of 1819. Wy, sir, here is a vast coun- try. I believe—although I bave made noesti- mate about ii—that it is not inferior in extent of land, of acres, of square miles, to what Tex- as east of the river Nueces, extending to the Sabine, had before. And who is there can say with truth and justice that there is no recipro- city, no mutuality, no concession, in this rese- lution, made to Texas, even in reference to the question of boundary alone? You give her a vast country, equal, [ repeat, ia extent nearly to what she indisputably possessed before ; a country sufficiently large, with her consent, hereafier to carve out of it some two or three additional States when the condition of the population may reader it expedient to make new Siaies. Sir, is there not in tig resolu- ne » juatice? But this eee on She enacal is not all that we propose rte me re the dete af Toras. A‘biank is left in the resolution because | have not heretofore been able-to ascertain the amount. Mr; FOOTE.

Mr Kaufman rose to a question of order: the: Constitution to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and, without a recanaiderstion of that vot>, the resolution cannot be acted upon. The Speaker said that this was a subject to be determined by the House. Mr. Inge, before the vote was taken, thought proper to move that there be a call of the House. The motion was agreed to. to conclude what [ have to say in relation to | Texas, I will then cheerfully yield the floor for | his motion. I was about to remark that, independently of this most liberal and generous boundary which | is tendered to ‘Texas, we propose to offer her | in this-second resolution a sum which the wor- thy Senator from Texas thinks will not be less than three millions of dullars—the exact a- modnt neither he nor I can furnish, not having | the materials at hand upon which to base a) statement. Well, sir, you get this large boun- dary and three millions of your debt paid. I shal} not repeat the argument which I urged up- on a former occasion as to the obligation of the United States to pay a portion of this debt, but I was struck the other day, upon reading the treaty of limits, first between the United States and Mexico, and next the treaty of limits be- tween the United States and Texas, to find in the of both of those treaties, a direct recoghifion of the principle from which I think springs our obligation to pay a portion of this dels, for the payment of which the revenue of Tezas was ged before her annexation.— The asterted in the treaty of limits with is, tbat whereas by the treaty of 1819,between Spain and the United States, a lienit was fixed crn Mexico and the United States, Mexieo comprising then a portion of the of the Spanish Government. Al- though Mezico was at the date of the treaty severed from the crown of Spain, yet she as having been @ part of the possessions of the ‘‘rown of Spain when the treaty of 1819 was snade, was bound by that treaty as much as if it had been made by herself instead of Spain— in other words, that the severance of no part of a common ire can exonerate either pertion of that empire from the obligations contracted when the empire was entire and unsevered.— And, sir, the same principle is asserted in the treaty of 1638, between Texas and the United States. The principle asserted is, that the trea- ty of 1828 between Merico and the United thane having been made when Teras was a part of Mexico, and that now Texas being dis- severed from Mexico, she nevertheless remains bound by that treaty as much as if no such se- Yerance had taken place. In other words, the principle is this—that when an independent Power creates an obligation or debt, no subse- quent political misfortune, no subsequent severe ance of the territories of that Power, can ex- onerate it from the obligation that was created whilet an integral and independent Power; in other words, to bring it down and apply it to this specific case—that, Texas being an inde- pendent Power, and having a right to make }pans and to make pledges, having raised a loan and “pledged apecifically the revenues arising from the customs to the public creditor, the publie ereditor became invested with a right to that fund ; and it is a right of which he could The House was called, and one hundred and eighty-six members answered to their names. All turtber proceedings in the call were dia- pensed with. ; The question recurred on laying the resolu- tion on the table. The Clerk commenced calling the roll, and Mr. Albertson had answered (o his name, when Mr. McClernand inquired whether it would be in order lo offer an amendment ? the memhers having answered to his name. Mr. McClernand wished to offer an amend- ment, and asked that it be read for informa- tion. Objection was made. The question was then taken, and the House refused to lay the resolution upon the table— yeas 70, nays 121. - ; The question now recurred on seconding the demand for the previous question. Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, desird to have an amendment read for information, but it was ob- jected to. It was as follows : . Resolved, That the Committee on Territo- ries be instructed to inquire what agency the California to exclude slavery from said Terri- tory; whether Thomas B. King, W. C. Jones, or assuming to act as agent for the Govern. ment ‘at Washington, directly or indirectly, com. municated the wiehes of the President or the Cabinet on the subject of slavery exclusion in California ; and whether any person acting or assuming to act or speak for the Govern- California that to exclude slavery would facili- tate their admission into the Union as a State ; and for this purpose the committee have power to send for persons and papers. The demand for the previous question was seconded—ayes 98, noes 72. Mr. Inge moved that the House do now ad- journ. Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, asked for the yeas and nays. Mr. Jones desired to be excused from voting. Mr. McClernand requested the gentleman from Alabama to withdraw his motion 'o ad- journ, as he wished to move that the House re- solve itself into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. Mr. Inge said that, under other circumstan.- ces, he would withdraw, but he now insisted on his motion to adjourn. The yeas and nays were ordered. Mr. Jones asked to be excused from voting, and the yeas and nays were demanded. The Speaker decided that the latter was not in order pending a motion to adjourn. So the House refused to adjourn. not be divested by any other act than one to which his own consent wae given—it could be think proper to make. in consequence of the absorption or merging of ‘Texas into the United States, the creditor, being no party to the trea- ty which was formed, does not lose his right— he retains his right to demand the fulfilment of ead gy that was made upon this specific just as if there had not been any annex- ation of Texas to the United States. That was the foundation upon which I arrived at the con- clusion expressed in the resolution—that the United States having appropriated (othemselves the revenue arising from the imports which re- venue had been’pledged to the creditor of Tex- as, the United States as an honorable and just Power ough! now to pay the debt for which those duties were solemnly pledged by a Pow- er nt in itself and competent to make the .

On motion of Mr. Foote the further conside. sation of the resolutions was postponed until to- ¥; and, on motion, the Senate adjourned. (To se Contincep.} House of Representatives. Monpay Fes. 18.

We would invite the attention of our readers to the following extract from the Georgia “ Bee,” on the subject of a “ Sou. thern meeting.” Read it, and mark the progress of agitators. The Georgia Le. gislature has passed some hot Resolutions on the subject of Southern rights, resist- ance, &c.; and if we may judge the peo- ple of the whole State by the spirit which animates that part of them in Monroe, we hesitate not to say that they did not elect their Legislatare for that purpose. We most heartily rejoice to witness the calm patience of the masses. They are not ig: nofant of what is transpiring in Con- gress. They know there is a stormy time there ; and trusting the management of their great interests to those whom they have delegated for that purpose, and toa wise and good Providence ; and seeing too, that under present.circumstances they can do nothing effective of good, they will not soffer themselves to be either driven or frightened from propriety. Political jugglers and gamblers may thank God that the masses are difficult to move, ex- cept inextreme cases: otherwise, and our country with all its cherished institations would have been blown into atoms long since.

If they fail to do this, we think the Conventions will transcend their powers if they at- tempt to carry out the suggestions of these gentlemen. Those Conventions are, at pre- sent, contemplated for the single purpose of bringing out candidates for Governor. Nothing more. And without a clear anc distinct expression of the wishes of the people on the subject, any action they might take in relation to the Nashville Convention, especially as touching the ap- pointment of delegates to that body, would be regarded as a most flagrant violation of trust. ' Moreover, the people should al- so be distiactly informed as to the mea- sures and remedy the Nashville Conven- tion proposes to adopt and apply. With |a strict observance of all their rights in ‘these respects, we shall offer no objection to the proceedure, though we should still doubt the propriety of the measure under existing circumstances.

HE: Subscriber offers for sole a email , lot of Land situated on the Road to ‘Locke’s Bridge, one mile and a half from Salisbury. It consists of 2@ or 22 Aeres, uncleared. There is some good timber on it, and a large quantity of fire wood ; and its nearness to Town, where there ie a never failing demand for wood, makes it much more valuable, than richer land situated at a greater distance off. The soil is not of the first quality. But the location compensates for its deficiency in this respect; and the hand of industry could soon make it one of the most desirable places for a residence. The subscriber would also remind the public that as the great Central Rail Road project is now looked upon as successful be- yond a doubt, every inch of land, especially near this Town, must soon be greatly enhanced in valve ; and those who wish to obtain such property there, should lose no time in doing so.

MULCHINOCK. Round the peasant’s hearth, See the circle gather— Youth with eye of mirth By his hoary father ; Matron’s brow of care, With @eep farrows laden, @ Next the beanty rare Of the blushing maiden— All are met to-night To make tyrants shiver, When with shafts they fight, Plucked from wisdom’s quiver, Cuorvs—Search your country’s lore. Ponder on its story— Thus did Greeks of yore Carve their way to glory ; Ere fieree Xerzes came— Brave, but still aufettered, Greece nurséd Wisdom’s flame, And remained unfettered ! By the lamp at night Be the darkness riven, That shats minds of light Out from Rauson’s heaven. Haste, then, and begin While the slave reposes ; To hearts pledged to win Trath her gate uncloses ; To the student’s ken, Serolls of thought unfurled, ~ Show how tyrant men May from thrones be hurled. Cuorus—Search your country’s lore, &c. Though the tyrant now Our dear jand assaileth ; Though her wasted brow Shows she sore travaileth ; By the “ March of Mind,” Though they’ve all beset her, She shall like the wind, Laugh at bolt and fetter. Stand ye, then, sublime, History's jessons read ’em: And in future time, Strike, strike home for Freedom. Cusoavs—Search your country’s lore, &c. WIND. FORTUNE AND LOVE. BY ELIZA COOK. Let me live without Fortune, if Providence will it ; For joy ean be found where small treasure is shed ; Those who bear a full cup are most fearful to spill it, And oftentimes walk with the narrowest tread. I care not though Fate should deny me profusion, If earth will bat show me some rays from above ; Tell me not thet God’s light is a dreamy illusion— I could live without Fortune, but not without Love ! | Oh! ’tis pleasant to know there are beings about us Who tune the most exquisite strings in our heart, To feel that they would not be happy without us, And that we, in our loneliness, sigh when we part. Ob! there’s something divine. in the thoughts that we cherish A star beam within us, that shines from above— To know, that if all the world gives us should perish, The greatest of Fortune still dwells in our Love! Oh ! ’tis glory to feel that we live for some others, That self is not all that we depend on below, That affection yet links us to sisters and brothers, Whose faith will be constant, come weal or come woe. Though the vulture of trouble may harass our bosom, Ne’er fear while our spirit is fed by the dove ; Let the desert of Life give Eternity’s blossom, And we'll live without Fortune, while favored by Love! | EARLY WOO’D AND WON. BY MRS. ABDY. Oh! sigh not for the fair young bride, Gone in her opening bloom, Far from her kindred, loved and tried, To giad another home ; Already are the gay brief days Of girlish triamph done, And tranquil happiness repays, The early woo’d and won. Fear shall invade her peace no more, Nor sorrow wound the breast ; Her passing rivalries are o'er, Her passing doubts at rest : The glittering haunts of worldly state, Love whispers her to shun, Since scenes of purer bliss await The early woo’d and won. Here is a young and guiless heart, Confiding, fond, and warm : Unsullied by the world’s vain mart, Unscathed by passion’s storm ; In “ hope deferred” she had not pined Till hope’s sweet course was run: No chains of sad remembrance bind The early woo’d and won. Her smiles and songs have ceased to grace The hall of festive mirth, Bat womau’s safest dwelling place Is by the true one’s hearth 3 Her hours of duty, joy, and love, In brightness have begun, Peace Bs. her portion from above, “The eudy woo’d and won. Be Carerut or THE Corners.—Several aneedotes tarn on that inexhaustible theme for merriment—the sorrows of matrimony. In passing through the street, ® bier was struck aguinst the corner of a house and the ‘Corpse animated by the shock.

Never was a scheme killed 80 dead as that famous project, which the Committee introduced two weeks ago, and which Messrs. Conway and Claiborne tried to rosh through the House. We have not seen a man from the country, and we have made it our business to en- quire, neither have we heard of one, who was in favor of that scheme. On the contrary, it has been received every where with most decided marks of disapprobation. A meeting was called in Lynchburg—not a dozen could be got together. Another in Fluvanna—it shared the same fate. Another in Goochland, where resolutions being offered, they were postponed indejinitely ! The bare idea of a dissolution of the Union is abhor- rent to the people of Virginia. They have no thought of abandoning their rights under the Constitution—nei- ther have they any thought of entrusting their destinies to 19 men in Nashville. They have better remedies for all their grievances in the Union than they would have out of it, and they intend toexhaustthem. They leave the game of Disunion to Garrison & Co. and their al- lies.— Rich. Whig. A New Question.—The “ Bitter. Enders” of the South are trying industriously to raise a nw issue withthe Administration ; and, in their allempt to do so, they show either a great deai of boldness or an amazing lack of sense. For statements of this issue, at full length, we re- fer to the editorials in all the Locofoco papers, | the burden of which is that Gen. Taylor is go ing to commit the awful heresy of * approving the Wilmot proviso in the California Constitu. tion!” ‘This would be exceedingly terrible it we did not know it to be false. ‘Ihe old Gen. eral cannot approve the Wilmot proviso in the California Constitution for the grand reason that there is no such thing in that interesting docu ment. The Wilmot proviso is nothing more nor less than an assertion of the principle that Congress has right to exclude slavery from the Territories. The Californians had nothing to do with this principle; they have excluded slavery themselves without waiting for Con. | gress to interfere in the matter; and in so do. | ing they have met the approval of the most re. | cent embodiment of modern Democrary, as will be seen by the following paragraph from an opposition paper published in Illinois : “ We had it from the lips of Gen. Cass him. self, but a few months ago, that he should * cer. tainly vote for the admission of California as a State, with a Constitution prohibiting slave. ry,/as he considered that the only legitimate way to settle the question in the Territories. — We understand this to be Gen. Cass’s position, without any hearsay or conjecture about it.” If Congress had passed a law excluding slavery from California and Gen. Taylor had approved it, he might justly stand accused of favoring the Wilmot proviso; but if he sign a bill admitting California with ber present constitution, he will merely give his adhesion to the doctrine that the people of a Territory have a right, in the formation of a State con. stitution, to admit or exclude the slave institu- tion, No man in the South can utter an argu. ment in support of Southern rights without giv- ing affirmative prominence to this doctrine ; and no man who has any sense at all, can inno. cently confound it with the principle ofthe Wil. | Mot proviso.— Vicksburg Whig. The New Orleans * Bee,” in some late speclations as to the probable action of Con. gress on the slavery question, alter expressing the opinion that the Wilmot proviso, even in the event of its passage by the House, would be killed in the Senate, says: “ We believe that California will be admitted as a State with her present Constitution, and that Congress, by re. fraining from the exercise of a power deemed by the South whully unconstitutional, and by leaving it where it rightfully belongs in the hands ofthe people ofthe new State, will re- move from both North and South just ground for further contention, It is true that there are | ultras on both sides, will not be satisfied with | any arrangement short of absolute concession to the North or South, but the policy here fore. | shadowed will take away all pretext fur resist. ance, and satisfy ninety-five men out of a hun. dred.” The California Message —No Message since the celebrated Proclamation of General | Jackson against Nullification has excited any | thing like such a sensation of Joy in all patri. | | otic bosoms as the late message of President | Taylor is now exciting throughout the length and breadth of the Union. Every one feels now that all danger is past. The poisonous fangs of faction are extracted, and, though it may still hiss and foam, no one will longer heed it. — Louisville Journal.

Nor can the cred- itors complain, for another reason. Texas has all the resources which she had when an pespecdeat power, with the exception of the uties receivable in ber ports upon foreign imports, and she is exempted from certain charges, expenditures and respon- sibilities which she would have had to en- counter if she had remained a separate and independent Power; for example, she would have had to provide for a cer- tain amount of naval force and for a cer- tain amount perbaps of military force, in order to protect herself against Mexico or against any foreign enemy whatever. But by her annexation to the United States she became liberated from all these char- ges, and of course, her entire revenues may be applicable to the payment of her debts, those only excepted which are ne- cessary to the support and maintenance of the Government of Texas. With this explanation apon that part of the subject, | pass to the consideration of the next resolution in the series which ] have had the honor to submit, and which relates, if | am not mistaken, to this Dis- trict. Resolved, That it is inexpedient to abol- ish slavery, in the District of Columbia, whilst that institotion continues to exist in the State of Maryland, without the con- sent of that State, without the consent of the people of the District, and without just compensation to the owners of slaves within the District. Mr. President, an objection at the mo- ment was made to this resolution, by some honorable Senator on the other side of the body, that it did not contain an assertion of the unconstitutianality of the exercise pthis vast assemblage of beauty, grace, ganee, and intelligence, any who have p here ander an expectation that the ymble individual who now addresses you means tO allempt any display, any use of ambitious Ianguage, any extraordinary gnament or decoration of speech, they wil) be utterly disappointed. The season of the year, and my own season of life, both admonish me to abstain from the use daay such ornaments; but above all, Mr. President, th awful subject upon thing but What pertains strictly to that subject; and my sole desire is to make pysell, in seriousness, soberness, and plain- 8, understood by you and by those who ink proper to listen to me. "When, yesterday, the adjournment of lhe Senate took place, at that stage of the discussion of the resolutions which | had mbmitted which related to Texas and her undary, | thought I had concluded the whole subject ; but I was reminded by a friend that perhaps I was not sufficiently expliciton a singte point, and that is, the relation of Texas and the Government of the U. States, and that portion of the debt a Texas for which I think a responsibility isis on the part of the United States.— Sir, it was said that perhaps it might be derstood, in regard to the proposed maat of three millions, or whatever may the sum when ascertained, to Texas in msideration of the surrender of her title New Mexico thisside of the Rio Grande, hat we granted nothing—that we merely lischarged an obligation which existed on the Government of the United States consequence of the appropriation of the Rports receivable in the ports of Texas whilst she was an independent Power.— lat that is not my understanding, Mr. President. As between Texas and the United States, the obligation on the part “Texas, to pay her portion of the debt ma ferred to, is complete and unqualified, ad there is, as between these two par- ies, no obligation on the part of the Uni- ed States to pay one dollar of the debt of Texas. On the contrary, by an express tipulation in the resolutions of admission, tisdeclared and provided that in no e- mnt dothe United States become liable weharged with any portion of the debt or tabilities of Texas. It is not. therefore, ‘ i te of Texas on the part of the Govern tent of the United States, that I think Bvision ought to be made for that debt. Yo such thing. As between those two a Nties, the responsibility on the part of Texas is complete to pay the debt, and ere is no responsibility on the part of te United States to pay one cent. But is a third party, who was no party othe annexation whatever—that is to Ry, the creditor of Texas, who advanced le money on the faith of solemn pledges Rade by eres to him to reimburse the "eeived on foreign imports ; and he, and alone, is the party to whom we are bound, according to the view which | have presented of the subject. Nor can other creditors of Texas complain that Mevision is made only for a particular 1on of the debt, leaving the residue of debt unprovided for by the Govern- “a of the United States, because, in so the we may extinguish any portion of debt of Texas under which she is rd bound, in so far will it contribute to the residue of the debts of Texas, i lea lands held by Texas, and what other Day ces she may have, applicable to the ager of these debts with more effect if the entire debt, including the Peiged Portion as well as the unpledg on, was obligatory upon her, and > which it is my dufy to address the Senate | am the country forbids my saying any | any responsibility which exists to the | by the appropriation of the duties — ve the funds derived from the pub- | of the pewer of abolition. I said then, as |[ have uniformly maintained in this body, | asI contended for in 1838, and ever have done, that the power to abolish slavery | within the District of Columbia has been | vested in Congress by language too clear and explicit to admit. in my judgment, of any rational doubt whatever. What, sir, _is the language of the constitution? “ To exercise exclusive legislation, in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not ex- ceeding ten miles square) as may, by ces- sion of particular States and the accept- ance of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States.” Now, sir, Congress, by this grant of power, is invested with all legislation whatsoever over this District. Not only :sit invested, | but it is exclusively invested with all le- _gislation whatsoever over the District.— | Can we conceive of human language more | broad and comprehensive than that which invests a legislative body with exclusive | power, in all cases whatsoever, of legisla- |tion over a given district of territory or country? Let me ask, sir, is there any power to abolish slavery in this District 7 | Let me suppose, in addition to what I sug- _gested the other day, that slavery had | been abolished in Maryland and Virginia | —let me add to it the supposition that it was abolished in all the States in the Un- ‘ion, is there any power then to abolish slavery within the District of Columbia, or is slavery planted here to all eternity. without the possibility of the exercise of any legislative power for its abolition ? It cannot be invested in Maryland, be- | cause the power with which Congress is |invested is exclusive. Maryland, there- | fore is excluded, and so all the other States |of the Union are excluded. It is here, or | ‘it is nowhere. | This was the view which I took in | 1838, and I think there is nothing in the resolution which | offered on that occa- | sion incompatible with the view which I /now present, and which this resolution /contains. Whilst I admitted the power to exist in Congress, and exclusively in Congress, to legislate in all cases whatso- ever, consequently in the case of the abo- lition of slavery within this District, if it deemed it proper to do so, I admitted on that occasion, as I contend now. that it is a power which Congress cannot, in con- science and good faith, exercise whilst the institution of slavery continues within the State of Maryland. The case, sir, is a| good deal altered now from what it was) 'twelve years ago, when the resolution to | ' which I allude was adopted by the Sen- | ate. Upon that occasion Virginia and | | Maryland both were concerned in the ex- ercise of the power; bat, by the retroces- sion of that portion of the District which lies south of the Potomac, Virginia be- came no more interested in the question | of the abolition of slavery within the res- | idue of the District than any other slave- | holding State in the Union is interested in | its abolition. The question now is con- fined to Maryland. | said on that ocea- | sion, that, although the grant of power is complete, and comprebends the right to | abolish slavery within the District, yet it | was a thing which never could have en- tered into the conception of Maryland or | Virginia that slavery would be abolished here whilst slavery continued to exist in either of those two ceding States. | say, moreover, what the grant of power itself indicates, that, although exclusive legis- lation in all cases whatsoever over the District was invested in Congress within the ten miles square, it was to make it the seat of government of the U. States. That was the great, prominent, substan- tial object of the grant, and that, in exer- cising all the powers with which we are) invested, complete and full as they may Congress in the exercise of this power.— should be abolished within the limits of | ples which lie at the bottom of our own laws go forth to act upon the unrepresen- cession having been made in order to cre- ate a suitable seat of governthent—ooght to be the leading and controlling idea with And it is not necessary, in order to render ita proper and suitable seat of govern- ment for the United States, that slavery. the ten miles square. -And inasmuch as at the time of the eession—when, ina spi- rit of generosity, immediately after the formation of this constitution—when all was peace, and harmony, and concord— when brotherly affection and fraternal feeling prevailed throughout this whole Union—when Maryland and Virginia, in a moment of generous impulse, and with feelings of high regard towards the mem- bers of this Union, chose to make this grant, neither party could have suspected that, at some distant future period, upon the agitation of this unfortunate subject, their generous grant without equivalent was to be turned against them, and thatthe sword was to be uplifted, as it were, in their bosoms, to strike at their own hearts: thus this implied faith, this honorable ob- ligation, this necessity and propriety of keeping in constant view the great object of cession. These were considerations which in 1838 governed me, as they now influence me, in submitting the reasons which | have submitted to your consider- ation. Now, as then, I do not think Con- gress ought ever, as an honorable body, acting bona fide in good faith, and accord- ing to the nature and purposes and ob- jects of the cession at the time it was made—and, looking at the condition of the ceding States at the time. Congress cannot, without the forfeiture of all those obligations of honor which men of honor and nations of honor respect as much as if found literally in so many words in the bond itself—Congress cannot interfere with the institution of slavery in this Dis. trict without violation of all these obli- gations, not in my opinion less sacred and less binding than if inserted in the consti- tutional instrument itself. Well, sir, what does the resolution pro- pose? The resolution neither affirms nor disaffirms the constitutionality of the ex- ercise of the power of abolition in this District. It is silent upon the subject. It says it is inexpedient to do it but upon certain conditions. And what are these considerations? Why, first, that the State of Maryland shall give its consent; in other words, that the State of Maryland shall release the United States from the obligation of the implied faith which I contend is connected with the act of ces- sion by Maryland to the United States. Well, sir, if Maryland, the only State now that ceded any portion of the territory which remains to us, gives to us her full consent ; in other words, if she releases Congress from all obligations growing out of the cession with regard tosla- very. I consider it is removing one of the obstacles to the exercise of the power, if it were deemed expedient to exercise the power. But itisremoving only one ofthem. There are two other conditions which are inserted in this resolution. The first is the consent of the people of the District. Mr. President, the condition of the peo- ple of this District is anomalous. It is a condition in violation of the great princi- free institutions, and all free institutions, because it is the case of a people who are acted upon by legislative authority, and taxed by legislative authority, without having any voice or representation in the taxing or legislative body. The Govern- ment of the Unitcd States, in respect to the people of this District, is a tyranny, an absolute Government—not exercised, tyrannically or arbitralily ; but it isin the nature of all arbitrary power, because, if I were to give a definition of arbitrary power, | would say that it is that power which is exercised by an authority over a people who have no voice, no represen- tation in the assembly whose edicts or ted people to whom I have referred. Well, sir, that being their condition, and this question of the abolition of slavery affect- ing them in all the relations which we can imagine—of prosperity, society, com- fort, peace, and bappiness—I have requir- ed as another condition, upon which alone this power should be exercised, the con- sent of the people of the District. But, sir, [have not stopped there. This reso- lution requires still another and a third condition, and that is, that slavery shall nat be abolished within the District of Columbia, although Maryland consents, although the people of the District them- selves consent, without the third condition of making compensation to the owners of the slaves within the District. Sir, it is immaterial to me upon what basis this obligation to compensate for the. slaves who may be liberated by the authority of Congress is placed. There is a clause in the Constitution of the United States, io one of the amendments to the constitution, which declares that no private property shall be taken for public use without just compensation being made to the owner of the property. Well, I think, in a just and liberal imerpretation of that clause, we are restrained from taking the property of the people of the District, in slaves, 00 con- siderations of any public policy, or for any conceivable or imaginable use of the pub- lic, without a full and fair compensation a § per ee) oe st aaa - ae 7 fe i — 3 ss bg As 5 Gis ix igplrntt ae? , 7%, oe wo § * Ske Lip.t r r the sing ae Lagt ¥ LIVEPRING (sec oeee ; one 5 delivered up, and fo be, rmoved to the- - .

Why, sir, no one of the European powers, Great Brit- ain, France, of any other of the powers which undertook to abolish slavery in their respective colonies, have ever ven- tured to do it without making compensa- tion. They were under no obligation a- rising eut of any written or other consti- tution to do it, bat under the obligation to which all men ought to bow with hom- age—that obligation of eterna] justice, which declares that no man ooght to be deprived of his property without a full and just compensation for its value. | know it has been argued that the clause of the constitution which requires com— pensation for property taken by the public for its use, would not apply to the case of the abolition of slavery in the District, because the property is net taken for the use of the public. Literally, perhaps, it would not be taken for the use of the pub- lic ; but it would be taken in considera- tion of a policy and purpose adopted by the public, as one which it was deemed expedient to carry into full effect and op- eration ; and, by a liberal interpretation of the clause, it ought to be so far regard- ed as taken for the use of the public, at the instance of the public, as to demand compensation to the extent of the value of the property. If this is not a restriction as to the power of Congress over the sub- ject of slavery in the District, then the power of Congress stands unrestricted, and that would not be a better condition for the slaveholder in the District than to assume the restriction contained in the amendment. I say it would be anrestric- ted by constitutional operation or injunc- tion. The great restrictions resulting from the obligations of justice would remaio, and they are sufficient to exact from Con- gress the duty of ascertaining, prior to the abolition of slavery, the value of the pro- perty ir slaves in the District, and of ma- king full, fair, and just compensation for that property. Well, Mr. President, I said yesterday there was not a resolution, except the first, (which contained no concession by either party.) that did not either contain some mutual concession by the two parties, or did not contain concessions altogether from the North to the South. Now, with respect to the resolution under consideration. ‘The North has contended that the power exists under the constitution to abol- ish slavery. ‘The South, I am aware, has opposed it, and most, at least a great portion of the South, have contended for the opposite construction. What does the resolution do?— It asks of both parties to forbear urging their respective opinions, the one to the exclusion of the other, but it concedes to the South all that the South, it appears to me, upon this subject ought ia reason to demand, in so far as it re- quires such conditions as amount to an abso- lute security for property in slaves in the Dis- trict; such conditions as will probaly make the existence of slavery within the District coeval and co-extensive with its existence in any of the States out of and beyond the District.— But, sir, the second clause of this resolution provides “ that it is expedient to prohibit with- in the District the trade in slaves brought into it from States or places beyond the limits of the District, either to be sold therein as merchan.- dise or to be transported to other markets.” — Well, Mr. President, ifthe concession be made that Congress has the power of legislation, and exclusive legislation, in all cases whatsoever how can it be doubted that Congress has au- thority to prohibit what is called the slave trade in the District of Columbia? Sir, my inter- pretation of the constitution is this: that, with regard to all parts of it which operate upon the States, Congress can exercise no power which is not granted power. That is the rule for the action of Congress in relation to its legis- lation upon the States, but in relation to its leg- islation upon this District the reverse. I take it to be the true rule that Congress has all power over the District which is not prohibited by some part of the constitution of the U. States; in other words, that Congress has a power within the District equivalent to, and co-exten- sive with, the power which any State itself possesses within its own limits. Well, sir, does any body doubt the power and the right of any slaveholding States in this Union to for- bid the introduetion, as merchandise, of slaves within their limits. Why, sir, almost every slaveholding State in the Union has exercised its power to prohibit the introduction of slavery as merchandise. It was in the constitution of my own State ; and, notwithstanding all the ex- citement and agitation apon the subject of slave- ry which oeeurred during the past year in the State of Kentucky, the same principle is ineorpo- rated inthe new constitution. {tis in the consti- tution,I know, of Mississippi. That State phobib- its the introduction of slaves within its limits as merchandise. I believe it to be in the consti- tution or in the laws of Maryland—in the laws of Virginia—in the laws of moet of the slave- holding States It is true that the policy of the different staveholding States upon this sabject has somewhat vacillaied—they sometimes a- ed it and sometimes excluded it—but there has been no diversity of opinion, no departure from the great principle, that every one of them has the power and authority to probibit the in- troduction of slaves withia their respective lim- its if they choose to exercise it. Well, then, sir, I really do not think that this resolution, which to abolish that trade, ought to be considered as = concession by either class of the States to the other class. I think it ac. these times when every night that I go to sleep and ami awoke up in the morning, it is with the apprebension of some new and fearful tidings of this agitating subject—I have seen in the act of .a neighboring State, amongst the various contingeucies which are enumerated, upon the happening of any one of which delegates are to be sent to the famous Convention whieh is to assemble at Nashville in June next, that a- mongst other substantive ground for the ap- pointment of delegates to that Conventiona—ol delegates from the State to which I refet—one is, that if Congress abolish the slave trade in the District of Columbia, that shall be cause for a Convention ; in other words, it ts cause for considering whether this-Union ought to be dissolved or not. Is it possible to portray @ greater extent of extravagance to which men may be carried by the indulgence of their pas- sions ? Sir, the power exists ; the duty, in my opia- ion, exists; and there has been no time—ae | may wore fe language coincident with that used by the bonorable Senator from Alabama—there bas been no time in my public life when I was not willing to concur in the abolition of the slave trade in this District. I was willing to have done it when Virginia's portion of the District was retroceded, that lying south of the Potomac. ‘There is still less ground for objec- tion to doing it now, when the District is limi- ted to the portion this side of the Potomac, and when the motive or reason for concentrating slaves here in a depot, for the purpose of trans. portation to distant foreign markets, is lessened with the diminution of the District, by the retro- cession of that portion to Virginia. ; Why should slave-traders, who buy their slaves in Maryland or Virginia, come here with their slaves in order to transport them to New Orleans or other Southern markets? Wh not transport them from the States in which they are purchased? Why are the feelings of citizens here outraged by the scenes exhibited and the corteges which pass along our avenues of manacled human beings, not collected in our own District, not collected at all in our own neighborhood, but brought from distant perts of neighhoring States? Why should they be out. raged? And who i: there, that has a heart, that does not contemplate a spectacle of that kiod with horror and indignation 1 Why should they be outraged by a scene so inexcusable and detestable as this ? Sir, it is noconcession, I repeat, from one class of States nor from the other. It is an object in which both of them, it seems to me, should heartily unite, and in which the one side as much as the other should rejoice in adopting, inasmuch as it lessens one of the causes of in- quietude and dissatisfaction which is connected with this District. Abolish the slave-trade in this District; re-assert the doctrine of the re. solution of 1838, that by an implied assent on the part of Congress slavery ought not to be abolished in the District of Columbia whilst it remains in the State of Maryland; re-assert the principle of that resvlution, and adopt the other healing measures, or similar healing measures—for I am not attached to any thing that is the production of my own hand, if any thing better should be offered by any body else —adopt the other healing measures which are proposed, and which are required by the dis- tracted condition of the country, and I venture tu say that, as we have had peace and quiet for the last thirty years, since the termination of the Missouri controversy, we shall have, in all human probability. peace for a longer period to come upon this unhappy subject of slavery. The next resolution is : “That more effectual provision ought to be made by law, according to the requirement of the constitution, for the restitution and delivery of persons bound te service or labor in any State who may escape into any other State or Ter- ritory in the Union.” ; Now, Mr. President, upon that subject, I go with him who goes farthest in the interpreta. tion of that clause in the constitution. In my humble opinion, sir, it is a requirement by the Constitution of the United States which is not limited in its operation to the Congress of the United States, but extends to every State in the Union and to the officers of every State in the Union ; and I go one step further, it extends to every man in the Union, and devolves upon them all an obligation to assist in the recovery of a fugitive from labor who takes refuge in or escapes into one of the free States. And, sir, I think | can maintain all this by a fair inter- pretation of the constitution. It provides— “That no person held to service or labor in one State under the laws thereof, eseaping in- to another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such ser. vice or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.” It will be observed, Mr. President, that this clause in the constitution is not amongst the enumerated powers granted to Congress, for, if | that had been the case, it might have been urged that Congress alone could legislate to carry it inte effect ; but it is one of the general powers, or one of the general rights secured by this constitutional instrument, and it address- es itself to all who are bound by the comstite- tion of the United States. Now, sir, the offi- cers of the General Government are bound to take an oath to support the constitution of the United States. Ail the officers are reqaired by the constitution to take an oath to support the constitution of the United States ; and all men who love their country and are obedient to its Jaws, are bound to assist in the execu. tion of those laws, whether they are fundamen- tal or derivative. 1 do not say that a private individuat ie bound to make the tour of tis State in order to assist an owner of a slave to recover his property, but I do say if be is pre- sent when the owner of a slave is ahout to as- sert his rights and endeavor to-obtain posses. sion of his property, every man present, wheth- er he be an officer of the General Government or the State Government, of a private individ. ual, is bound to assist, Tf wen are bound at all ‘10 assist in the execution of the laws of their . Now what is this provision 1 it is ibe, yet the great purpose—that of the to the people of this District. “Bat, ‘with- 5 ; ~ ~ — .& err eos - up tbe person demanded, it bas been upow emsiee! er legal ground, not at ne gtioRe ing the genera] right to have the lag rendéred, or the Sviiguiion to deliver eee as intended by the constitutiog. an coe T think, then, Mr. President, that with regs to the true interpretation of this provision of the constitution there can he no doubt. It impos. es an obligation upon all the States, free o¢ slaveholding ; it imposes an obligation upo all officers of Government, State or Fed ¢ and, I will add, upon_all the people of.(be Uni- ted States, vader particular circumstances, Se assist in the surrender and recovery of « fig tive slave from bis master. oe There has been confusion, and, I think, some misconception on this subject, in conséquenty of a recent decision of the ¥ against Pennsylvania—that seem fo import.oth., erwise ; but I think, when you come allentiye- ly to read the whole opinion, and the ort pronounced by all the judges, especially if take the trouble of doing what I have ‘done to converse with them as to what their reat footie ing was, you will find that the whole extent the authority which they intended to eafalt t was, that any laws of impediment enacted, the States were laws thal were orbits i the provision of the constitution to which 1 te- fer ; that the General Government had no ri by an act of the Congress of the United g to impose obligations upon State officers wal imposed by the authority of their own constit tion and laws. It is impossible the Wetision, could have been otherwise. It ve been perfectly extrajudicial. The court fall ie right to decide the question whetfer the law of facility were or were not anconstitutional.— The only question before the court was the law of impediment passed by the Legislatore of Pennsylvania ; and if they had gune beyond the case before them, and undertaken to decide. npon a case not before them, or a principle which was not fairly comprehended within the case before them, it would be what the lawyers term an obifer dictum, and is not binding either on the court itself cr any other tribunal. I say it was not possible that, with the case before the court, of a law for giving facility to the holder of the slave to recover bis proper again, it was utterly impossible that any tribunal should pronounce a decision that such aid and assis- tance redendered by the authority of the State under this provision of the constitution of the United States, is unconstitutional and void. The court has not said so, or if they had said so, they have transcended their authority, and gone beyond the case which was before them. Laws passed by States, in order to assist the General Government, so far from being laws repugnant to the constitution, would every where be re- garded as Jaws carrying out, enforcing, and ful. filling the constitutional duties which are crea- ted by that instrument. Why, sir, as well might it be contended that if Congress were to declare war—and ho one will doubt that the power to declare war is ves- ted exclusively in Congress ; no State has the right to do it—no one will contend seriously, I apprehend, that after the declaration of war it would be unconstitutional on the part of any of the States to assist in the vigorous and ef- fective prosecution of that war; and yet it would be just as constitutional to lend their aid to the successful and glorious termination of the war in which we might be embarked, as #. would be to assist in the performance of a bigh duty which addresses itself to all the States and all the people of all the States. Mr. President, I do think that that whole class of legislation beginning in the Northern States and extending to some of the Westera States, by which obstructions and impediments. have been thrown in the way of the rerovery of fugitive slaves, is unconstitutional, and bas originated in a spirit which I trust will correct itself when those States come calmly to consid- er the nature and extent of the federal obliga- tions. Of all the States in this Union, unless it be Virginia, the State of which I am a resi- dent suffers most by the escape of their slaves to adjoining States. I have very little doubt, indeed, that the extent of Joss to the State of Kentucky, ia consequence of the escape of hef slaves, is greater, at least in proportion to the total numnber of slaves which are-held in Vir. ginia. I know full well, and eo does the bon, orable Senator from Obio know, that it is at the uimost hazard, aud icsecurity to life itself, that a Kentuckian can crose the river and go into the interior to take back his fugitive slave to the place from whence he fled. Recently an example oceurred even in the city of Cincio- nali, in respect to one of our most respectable citizens, Not having visited Ohio at all, but Covington, on the opposite side of the river, & little slave of bis escaped over to Ciscignali.— He pursued it; he found it in the house ts which it was concealed; be took it out, and it was rescued by the violence and force of a negra mob from his possession, the pulice of the city standing by, and either unwilling or unable ta afford the assistance which was requisite to en, able him to recoter his property. Upon this subject | do think that we have just and serious cause of complaint against the free States. I think they fail in fulfilling a great obligation, and the failure is precisely up, on one of those subjecis which in its nature is the most irritating and inflaming to thosy whe live in the slave States. : Noe, sir, J think it is a_ mack of no good neighborhood. of wo kindnéés, of no courtes that a man living in a slave State cannut ao with any sort of -ealet travel in the free Mates with bis servants, alibough he has vo pu whatever of stopping there longer thad a sh time. And on this whole suliject, sir, how has the legislation of the free States altered for te worse witbin the course of the Jast twenty or hts: euch faghivee shall be deliesed yp on ee ~ 4 °St ee thirty years? Why, sir, most -of thove States 4 oy ° y al ¥ Z . peed dares 1.66 States With their servants.” Sir, I recollect a are that occurred during the war. My friend, Mr, ‘Chettes, of South Carolina, instead of going home in the Vacation, went to Philadelphia, taking bis fami- if servants with bim. “Some of the abolition. ists of that city }ebk out & halieas corpus, s#ized the slaves, and the question was broughit before the Sepreme Court of the State of Pennsylvania, @liere it was argued fordays.” It wis fieces. éaty, during the progress of the arguments, (6 refer to a great variety of statutes passed from (fine to time by the L«gistature of Pennsylvania on beba-f of the sojourner, guarantying and se. curing to him the possession of his property dur. ing bis temporary passage or abode within the limits of that commonwealth.

[am happy to hear it; but in most of the large States, id most, if not al! of the New England States, these laws have been abolished, showing the D re tendency of bad neighborhood aod tnkiad action on the part of the free States to- wards the slavebolding States. ‘Mr. President, I do not mean to contest the ground—I am not going to argue the question, whether, if man carries hia slave voluntarily into the free States, and he is not a fugitive, whetber that slave, by the voluntary action of the masier, does or dues not become instantly entitled to his freedom? I am not going to ar- that question.

Allow me to my upon this. subject, though it is perbaps going further into detail than is ne- cessary, that of all the exercise of power of those who attempt to seduce from their owners their slaves, there is no instance in which it js exercised so injuriously to the objeets of their charity and benevolence as in the case of the seduction of family slaves from the service of their owner. The slaves in the family are treat. ed with all the kindness that the children. of the family receive. Every thing which they want fos their comfort is given them with the most liberal indulgence; and, sir, I have known more instances than one where, by. this practico of the seduction of family servants from their owners, they have been rendered wreich- ed and unhappy in the free States; and in my own family, a slave who had been seduced a- way addressed her mistress and begged and implored of herthe means of getting back {rom- he state of freedom to which she had been se- duced. to the state of slavery, in which she was so much more happy ; and in the case to which 1 bave referred the means were afforded her and she returned to the State of Kentucky to her mistress.

MR. CLAY. j (Jaya diseyssionyin the pee oq, Thor day last, Mr. Foote said, “he would ask je Seviator from Kenticky whether as « Senator. representing a stave State, he would. vote for the, admission of Cal: ifornia as a State, aod.thus give two. more votes to the adversaries of the Seath 7” To which Mr. Clay replied, “that tre had been freqaently addressed as a represen- tive of a slave State, and as owing alle. giance to the South. He owed no atte- giance to the Soath. He knew no South —heknewno North. He knew his duties, and would discharge them. He recdg- nised but two sovereignties to whom he owed allegiance; one: was the Union— the whole Union ; the other was the State of Kentucky: When his course did meet the-approval of Kenincky, he knew what his duties required himgo do. “But he had last night received frofn his State a copy of the resolutions of the Legislature, in which every one of the series of resolu- tions proposed by him as a plan of peace and concord, was approved of and com- mended.” Mr. Senator Clemmens of Ala. is cer- tainly a remarkable man, while such men as Clay, Webster, Berrien, Calhoun, Ben- ton, &c., have been a lifetime growing wise and asce:taining the modus opperan- di of acting risht in great measures, Mr. Clemmens, can in the twinkling of an eye dissolve all doubts, unveil all mysteries and make bare the plots of all the wise scheemers of the land. In short, in the space of a month he discovers that the Union not only ought to be dis- solved but that it was already dissolved |— Wonder if that discovery was not the cause of such an impetus being given to the Nashville Convention! He is a won- derful manindeed! When grey hairs and forty years service in our country’s coun- cils have not given our Senators wisdom enough to know how to act at this impor- tant cricis, this new fledged egotist shoots out in front of honored statesmen and points at once to the only course to be pursued ! Mr. Downs of La., another wonderful genius, had, in the plentitude of his pro- found wisdom and moderation and his great love for his country to enter bis pro- test against Mr. Clay’s resolutions before wise men time to breathe on them, and to tell the Senate and the world that he diff. ered with Mr. Clay and could not be brow beaten by him—wonderful.

Critten- den, of Kentucky, as relates to the excite- ment which Mr. Calhoun and other South- ern politicians have raised about the Wil- mot Proviso and the New Territories, ac- companies it with the strongest possible expresssons of commendation, and says, in conclusion: “We do not speak with- ‘out our host when we say should that ‘time ever come (may Heaven avert that ‘dreadful, awful hour!) when this Union ‘shall be placed in jeopardy, Tennessee, ‘too, side by side with Kentucky, ‘will ‘stand by and abide with the Union to the -last.’ ” Call for Women itn California.—Mrs. Farnham writes thus: San Francisco, Dec. 30, 1849.

Salisbury, March 7, 1850 43 “ Iwould rather give up the whole terri- tory than hazard the Union.” These words are reported to have been used by Sena- tor Butler, of South Carolina, in debate on Friday last, his reference being to the territory acquired from Mexico. That is our notion exactly. We would rather have the whole territory ceded back to Mexico, or relinquished altogether to: the dwellers therein, to do with it what to them may seem good, or got rid of in any other peaceable way. than to see the Un- ion really jeoparded by its retention. * Wilmington Chronicle. And these are also our sentiments: We had rather cede back the whole territory to Mexico than that the land of Washing- ton—the land of our fathers—should be torn assunder ; and the experiment of Re- publicanism fail. We have often pre- dicted that Modern Democracy. would ru- in the Country: we ever feared the re- sults of the Mexican war as a part of its policy, and the acquisition of new territo- ry, was, from the first, declared to be most dangerous, inasmuch as it would inevita- bly bring upon us the very evils which now so alarmingly threat our safety.— But democracy was progressive! and no warning voice was heeded. The sage of Ashland foresaw and predicted the mis- chief it would bring upon us. But bis words of wisdom only excited ridicule, where indeed, they chanced to be heard above the general clamor for the “ exten- sion of the area of freedom.” Democra- cy was triumphant, and its measures were triumphant. Its unjust war brought un- just gains. And now the people are stand- ing in awe in view of the prospect. The declarations of Holy Writ speak out with awful clearness concerning the fruits of such conduct. Can any one now tell what is to be the “ manifest destiny” of this Re- ity to that noble charter.

The villains were, in A measure, at least, disappointed. — Their object, no doubt, was money. Of this, they got none, Mr. B. carrying his money about bis person. But the loss of his clothing has put him to inconvenience and delay. ; Search being instituted on the same day, in the neighborhood. where the -robbery was most probably committed, suspicious tracks were found ; and on being follow: ed led to the creek, where after a little searching, the trunk was discovered. It had been filled with rocks, and sunk in the creek. Nothing of its contents ex: cept some small articles of clothing re. mained-in it. Several Valuable books— English works—on thélabject of mana- factures, were in the trank ; and if they have not been destroyed may yet serve a good purpose to the public. We learn that this is not the first time robberies have either been attempted or: actually committed in the same neighbor hood.

On Wednesday, in the House of Representa. tives, Mr. Doty, by general consent, introduced _a bill for the admission of California, which was referred ta the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. This course was adopted (says the Wasbington Republic of | Thursday) to avoid a recurrence of the strife | and conlusion which prevailed in the Heuse ‘last Monday week when a peremptory resolu- | tion, instructing the Committee on Territories to bring in such a bill, was sought to be forced through by means of the previous question.— | That there was no objection urged to the in- | troduction of the bill yesterday, betokens a daw- | ning desire, on all sides, to avoid conflict and collision. In its present shape, the bill is sub. ject to debate and amendment, and it is to be hoped no effort will be made to take it out of | the committee, and put it under the operation of the previous question, before ii has been de- bated to the satisfaction of all. ‘This was the understanding of the parties who permitted the bill to be presented at all, and it is a cheering sign that the House can come to any under. standing in regard to this question, or any pre- liminary step towards its settlement. The following is the bill alluded to above : | An act to admit the State of California inte the | Union. | Whereas, the people of California have form. ed for themselves a constitution and State go- vernment, and applied fur admission into the Union as a State: And whereas, the said constitution has been officially communicated to Congress, and is re- publican. Therefore, Section 1. Be it enacted, &c., ‘That the State of California, with the boundaries describ. ed in the said constitution, shall be one, and is hereby declared to be one of the United States of America, and admitted into the Union on an equal fuoting with the original States, ia all re- | spects whatever. | Sec. 2 The State of California shall never interfere with the primary disposal of the soil within the same by the United States, nor with any regulations Congress may make for secur. ing the title in such soil to bona fide purchasers thereof; and no tax shall be imposed on lands the property of the U. States; which said pro- visions are hereby declared to be fundamental conditions upon which said State is admitted into the Union.

BY ELIZA COOK. Father above | I pray to thee, Before I take my rest! I seek thee on my bended knee, With warm and grateful breast, First let me thank thee for my share Of sweet and blessed health; It is a boon I would not spare, For words of shining wealth. And next I thank thy bounteous hand, That gives my ‘daily bread,” That flings the corn upon the land, And keeps our table spread, I thank thee for each peaceful night, That brings me soft repose, I thank thee for the morning’s light, That bids my eyes unclose. I own thy mercy when I move With limbs all sound and free, That gaily bear me when I rove, Beside the moth and bee. I thank thee for my kindred friends, So loving and kind ; Who tell me all that knowledge lends, To aid me heart and mind. Ab! let me value as I ought, The lessons good men teach, To bear no malice in my thought, No anger in my speech. Father above! Oh! hear my prayer, And let me ever be, Worthy my earthly parent’s care, And true in serving thee. Rem From the Spirit of the Times. A SERENADE IN NORTH GAROLINA. Not a thousand years ago, and not a thousand miles from here, (Windsor, N. C.,) lived a youug lady, the daughter of very plain country folks, who had just re- gurned home from a distant boarding school—having finished her education. Her residence was on the wes- tern bank of a ‘little river’ in this country. The peri- od of which I write was September. Between the fa- mily mansion and the water's edge, was a five acre po- fatoe patch. The roots were cultivated in hills, and the vines very luxuriant. On the opposite side of the river, quite a number of young gentlemen lived, who were noted for gallantry. Their devotion to the sex had induced them to unite accomplishments in the forming of a serenading band. The return of the young lady referred to, afforded them an opportunity of doing the genteel. They accordingly met on a clear moonhight night. and each furnished with bis mosical instrument, betook themselves to their boat to give a musical treat to the ‘fair returned” | James H. Hammond, before the South | Carolina Institute, at its first Annual Fair, | And November's cold blast roughly blew o’er the wave ; | on the 20th Nov, 1849. | polished as his views are new and an address delivered by Ex-Governor | We have read this address carefally and | admiringly. The style of the author, és prac- tical. The leading object of the Speaker South Carolina, the duty and profitable- ness of encouraging a greater diversity of pursuits, especially manufacturing of cot- ton. The idea is not new, but Mr. Ham- mond has not only embellished his subject but produced facts and calculations which we have never met before. We shall hereafter extract copiously from it. Appended to the address is an account of the premiums awarded at the Fair of the Institute, among which we notice the following to residents of North Carolina. Mrs. Rebecca Lain, Henderson ‘N. C. For the best Mexican Cotton and Wool Cloak, a diploma. a Rockingham Manufacturing Company, N.C. For 2d best Osnabnrgs, a diploma. The same Company. For the best eot- ton Bagging a silver medal. Mr. Mosteller, Lincoln Mills, N.C. For the best specimen of Writing Paper, a di. ploma. The very large list of premiums. em- bracing ten closely printed pages, quarto, exhibit a degree of progress in the me- chanie and domestic arts in the South, which has surprised us. For example we find among the enumerated articles the following: The best model of a steam engine ; dried Carolina figs; Pottery ; ma- chine for grinding cotion cards; the inven tion of a Therapeutic chair; the best iron Subsoil Plough ; the best brass Pump; the best Cut-off Steam Valves; Transparent Window shades; the best hand- wove Mar- seilles Quilt ; the best bar iron; the best striped Cotton Goods; the best Twilled Kersey’s ; an improvement on cotton gins; a splendid pair of Raizors; the best Silk Hose ; the best specimens of crushed and Loaf Sugars ; an improved upright and self ventilating Furnace ; the best speci- men of a Double Barrel Gun; the best mode of a Steam Ship; a combination Lock of great intricacy ; best turning in Ivory ; Electro Plating ; a musical Cloek an invention; the best garden Plough. &c. It should be added that the Fair is con. fined exclusively to articles of Southern production and manulacture. We would say to Wilmington, “Gothere and do likewise.”— Wil. Aurora LAZIEST YET. During the summer of 1846, corn being scarce in the upper country, and one of the citizens being hard pressed for bread, hav- With muffled oars they noiselessly crossed the river and gained the beach. With stealthy tread they ap- proached the house at the hour of midnight, and rang- themselves in line, at a signal from their leader, violin, Hate, clarionet and trombeon, in one mighty blast, to the tane of ‘Old Dan Tucker, broke the stillness of the night and the ‘ o'd folks’ slumbers. The mother ecream- e@ from affright, and called to the daughter for an ex- planation of the unusual noise—and was informed in re- ply, that it was a ‘ serenade!” Mistaking the reply, she fied to the old maf, who, a little deaf, was sitting be- wildered at the to him confused sounds. The wife’s report, ‘ they are cannonading us! satis- fied him. He flew to the gun rack, and taking down | old ‘ blue trigger,’ hurried down stairs and aroused the | house. Meanwhile the young lady stood at her window | with curtain half drawn, drinking in the melody as it was wafted up. The boys, innocent as Sir Isaac’s dag Diamond, of the mischief they had made, were iaying themselves out upon the last variation, when at twenty feet distanre, the old man shoved around the corner his eld musket, and drew trigger. She did not shoot, bat the fire rolled, bright as falling meteors. A stampede of electric suddenness took place—the ‘leader’ of the band leading in a bee line for the boat, followed in com- mendable nearness by his company. ‘Phey burried in the start, but the repeated efforts of the old man to-get his ‘ piece off, increased their effort at speed—and a call by him for a ‘ chuyk of fire’ Lo touch the priming, told still more.

I do not think the States, aS Slates, ought to be responsible | for all the misconduct of particular indi- yiduals within those States. I think that. the States are only to be held responsible when they actin their sovereign capacity. | lf there are a few persons—indiscreet ; | mad, if you choose ; fanatics, if you choose soto call them—who are for dissolving | this Union, as we know there are some at. the North, and for dissoling it in conse- | quence of the connexion which exists be- | tween the free and slaveholding States, | do not think that any State in which such. madmen as they are to be found ought to be weld responsible for the doctrines they propagate, unless the State itself adopts tbose doctrines. Sir, there have been, perhaps, mutual causes of complaint; and | know, at least [bave heard, that Massachusetts, for some of ber unfriendly laws on the subject of | the recovery of fugitive slaves urges as the motive for the passage of those laws the treatment which a certain minister of bers experiencedin Charleston some years ago. Mr. Hoar, I think, is the name of the individual who was sent to S. Carolina totake care of the free negroes of Mas sachusetts that might pass to Charleston jiathe vessels of Massachusetts. I think jt was a mission that it was bardly wor- I think she might have omitted to send Mr. Hoar upon any such mission; but she thought it right to send him, and he went there for the purpose of asserting, as he said, the rights of those free people of co- lor before the courts of justice, and of testing tbe validity of certain laws in Soulh Garolina with regard to the prohi- bition of free negroes from coming into ber ports. I believe that was the object, that was the purpose of his mission. He went there to create no disturbance, as | understand, except so far as asserting those rights and privileges in the sense in which Massachusetts held them might create disturbance. [He was virtually driven out of Charleston, as, | believe, he orsome other emissary of the same kind was driven outof New Orleans. Ido not mean to say whetherit was right or wrong toexpel him. What I mean to say is, that Massachusetts or some of her citi- zens, has said that, after finding this treat- ment towards those whom she chooses to consider citizens, on the part of South Car- olina, she determined on that course of legislation by which she bas withdrawn all aid and assistance for the recovery of fugitives, and interposes obstacles; and then she pleads the treatment of Mr. Hoar asan apology. 1 think that furnished her with no sufficient apology. If South Car- olina treated her ill. it is no reason why she sbould illtreat Kentucky and Virginia, and other slaveholding States that had done her no wrong. But she thought so. I mention both cases—the case of the expulsion of Mr. Hoar from Charleston, agd the passage of the laws of Massachu- setts—not by way of approbation of eith- er, but to show that there have been, un- happily, mutual causes of agitation, fur- nished by one class of States as well as_ by the others ; though | admit, not in the same degree by the slave States as by the free States.

These citizens were taken from our vessels when they arrived in South Carolina, and were held in custody till the vessels sailed again.

If remember rightly. and I think | do, the State of Massachusetts authorized its Governor to propose, at the expense of the State, to some suitable and proper person, who was a citizen of South Carolina, to tody in this way, in the courts of the State, Ir I remember rightly, that was declined by one or more citizens of South Carolina.— Senator refers, was instituted, and the termination of it I believe he has correcily stated. I wish it to appear that Massachusetts simply wished that the judiciary should decide the question existing between them. more, Mr. CLAY. Mr. President, I hear with been informed, however, by an eminent is unnecessary to mention—he is not a member of this body—that the motives for Motives, was the treatment of Mr. Hoar in Charleston. However, I am glad to hear that it proceeded from another cause, conception of what the true opinion of the judges of the Supreme Court was. When to be known in Massachusetts, I trust that the Legislature of that State will restore the laws facilitating the recovery of fugi- tive slaves, and which she repealed in consequence of that misception. Mr. resident, I have a great deal yet to say, and I shall, therefore, pass from I have partly made before, that the most stringent provision uponthissubject which can be devised will meet with my hearty concurrence and co operation in the pas- sage of the bill which is under the consid- eration of the Senate. The last resolu- tion declares— “ That Congress has no power to pro- hibit or obstruct the trade in slaves be- tween the slaveholding States; but that the admission or exclusion of slaves bro’t from one into another of them depends exclusively upon their own particular laws.” This, if the resolution should be adopted, is a concession—not, I admit, of any real constitutional provision, but a concession from the North to the South of what is un- derstood, I believe, by a great number at the North, to be a constitutional provision Take away the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on this subject, | and there is a great deal, I know, that might be said on both sides as to the right of Congress to regulate the trade between the States; but I think the decision of the Supreme Court has been founded upon correct principles, and I trust it will fore- ver put an end to the question whether Congress has or has not the power to reg- ulate the intercourse and trade in slaves between the different States. Such, Mr. President, is the series of | resolutions which, in an earnest and anx- | ious desire to present the olive branch to | both parts of this distracted, and at the | resent moment unhappy country, I have. thought it my duty to offer. Of all men | upon the earth I am the least attached to | any productions of my own mind. Noman upon earth is more ready than I am to. surrender any thing whieh I have propos. | ed, and to accept in lieu of it any thing | that is better; but I put it to the candor | of honorable Senators on the other side and upon all sides of the House, whether their duty will be performed by simply. limiting themselves to objections to any | ‘one orto all of the series of resolutions | that I have offered. If my plan of peace. and accommodation, and harmony, is not | right, present us your plan. Let us see’ the counter projet.

I do not know whether any thing has ex- cited more surprise in my mind, as to the rapidity with which important historical transactions are obliterated and pass from the mind, than when I understood every where that ] had been the author of the line of 36 deg. 30 min., which was estab- lished upon the occasion of the admission of Missouri into the Union. It would take too much time to go over the whole of that important era in the public affairs of the country. 1 shall not do it. although | have got ample materials before me, de- rived from a careful examination of the journals of both Houses. | will not occu- py your time by going in detail through the whole transaction, but I will content myself with stating that so far from my having presented as a proposition this line of 36 deg. 80 min., upod the occasion of the consideration whether Missouri should be admitted into the Union or not, it did not originate in the House of which Iwasa member. It originated in this body, as those who will cast their recol- lection back, and I am sure the honorable Senator from Missouri (Mr. Benton) more correctly than any body else, must bring to his recollection the fact that at the Con- gress when the proposition was first made to admit Missouri—or rather to allow her to hold a convention and frame a consti- tution and decide whether she should or should not be admitted into the Union— the bill failed by a disagreement between the two houses, the House insisting on and the Senate dissenting from the provi- sions contained in the ordinance of 1787. The House insisting on the interdiction of slavery, and the Senate rejecting the pro- position of the interdiction of slavery, the bill fell through ; it did not pass at that session of Congress. At the next session it was renewed, and at the time of its re- newal Maine was knocking at our door to be admitted into the Union. In the House there was a majority for the re- striction as to slavery in Missouri; in the Senate there was a majority opposed to all restriction. In the Senate, therefore, in order to carry through the Missouri bill, or the provision for her admission— or rather authorizing her to determine the question of her admission—that bill was coupled with a bill for the admission of Maine. They were connected together, and the Senate said to the House, “ You want a bill for the admission of Maine passed, but you shall not have it, unless you take along with ita bill for the ad- mission of Missouri also.” There was a majority, a very large one, in the Senate for coupling both together. Well, sir, the bill went through all the usual stages of disagreement, of commit- tees of conference, and there were two commnittees of conference on the occasion before the matter was finally settled.— | And it was finally settled to disconnect the two bills—to admit Maine separately, without any connexion with Missouri, and to insert in the Missouri bill a clause. pro- | posed in the Senate of the United States by Mr. Thomas, Senator from Illinois, re- stricting slavery north of the line 36 deg. 30 min., and leaving it open south to that line, either to admit it or not to admit it. Well, sir, the bill finally passed. The committees of conference of the two Hous- es recommended the detachment of the two cases, and the passage of the Missouri bill with the clause 36 deg. 30 min. in it; and so it passed, so it went to Missouri, so it for a moment quieted the country, by means of the introduction of the clause 36 deg. 30 min. You will find, I repeat. sir, if you will take the trouble to look at the journals, that on as many as three or four different occasions Mr. Thomas in every instance presented the proposition of 36 deg. 30 min. It was finally agreed to; and] take occasion to say that a- mongst those who voted for the line 36 deg. 30 were the majority of the South- ern members—my friend from Alabama, | (Mr. King.) inthe Senate, Mr. Pinckney, trom Maryland, and indeed the majority Senators voted in favor of the line 36 deg. 30 min. ; and the major- ity of the Southern members in the other House, at the head of whom was Mr. Lowndes himself, voted also for the line. ] have no doubt I did also; but, as | was Speaker of the House at the time, and the journal does not show how the Speaker votes except in the case of atie. ] was not able to ascertain, by # resort to the re- cords, how I did vote, but I have very lit- tle doubt that I voted, in common with her constitution containing that prohibition, and immediately the Northern menrbers took ex. Union. Legislative tiodies all got in motion to keep out Missouri, in consequence of her in- terdiction of free people of color from witbin her limits. I did wot arrive at Congress that session till January, and when | got here I found both bodies completely paralyzed in con- tion. Well, sir, I made the first effort in the Hotse to settle it. I asked for a committee of thir. teen, and a committee of thirteen was granted to me, representing all the old States of the Un- ion. The committee met. I presented to them a resolution, which was adopted by the com. mittee and reported to the House—not ontike the one to which I will presently call the at. tenticn of the Senate—and we should have car- ried it in the House but for the votes of Mr. Randolph, of Virginia, Mr. Edwards, North Carvlina, and Mr. Burton, North Carolina— two of the three, I believe, no longer living — These three Southern votes were all cast a- gainst the compromise which was prepared by the committee, or rather by myself, as chair. man of the committee of thirteen, and defeated it. Well, sir, in that condition the thing remain. ed for several days. ‘The greatest anxiety per- vaded the country—the public mind was an. settled—men were unhappy—there was a large majority of the House then, as I hope and trust there is now a large majority in Congress, in favor of an equitable accommodation or settle- ment of the question ; and the resolution would have been adopted, I believe, but when it came to the vote by yeas and nays, unfortunately then more unfortunately then, I hope, than now, there should be oecasion for it now—there were few Curtiuses and Leonidases willing to risk them- selves for the safety and security of their coun. try. 1 endeavored to avail myself of that good feeling, as far as I could ; and, afier a few days had elapsed, I brought furward another propo- sition; a new one perfectly unpractised in this country, either beture or since, as far as | know. I proposed a joint committee of the two Houses that of the House to consist of twenty-three members, (the number of the Senate commit- tee I do not recollect,) and that this committee should be appointed by ballot ; for at that time Mr. Taylor, of New York, was in the chuir, and Mr. ‘Taylor was the very man who had first proposed the restriction upon Missouri. He proposed that she should only be admitted on the principle of the ordinance of 1787; I pro- posed, therefore, that the committee be appoint- ed by ballot. Well, sir, my motion was car- ried by a large majority ; and members came to me from all quarters of the Huuse, and said, js whom, Mr. Clay, do you want to have with you on the committee?” I made out my list of twenty-three members, and I venture to say that that happened on that oceasion which will hardly ever happen again, eighteen of the twen. ty-three were elected on the first ballut—and the remaining five on my list having the lar- gest number of votes, but not the majority, I moved to dispense with any further balloting, and that these five should be added to the eighteen thus completing the committee of twenty-three. One or two gentlemen, Mr. Livermore, of N. Hampshire, and one or two others, declined to serve on the committee ; and, very much to my regret, and somewhat to my annoyance, the lamented Mr. Randolph and another per- son were placed in their situation—I forget whether done by ballot or by the Speaker; it is enough to say they were put on the commit- lee. Well, sir, the Senate immediately agreed to the proposition, appointed its committee, and we met in this hall on the Sabbath day, with- in two or three days of the close of the session, when the whole nation was waiting with breathless anxiety for some final and healing measure upon the distracting subject which oc- cupied our attention. We met here on that day, and accordingly the moment we met, Mr. Randolph made a suggestion which I knew would be attended with the greatest embar- rassment and difficulty. He contended that over the two Houses the chairman of the House committee had a right to preside, and he was about to insist at some length that the two committees should he blended together, and that I should preside over both. I instantly interposed, and stated that I did not think that was the correct mode, but that the chairman of the committee of each House should preside over his own committee, and that when the committee of the House matured and adopted a proposition it should be submitted to the oth. er committee, and if agreed to by them, it should | then be reported to the two Houses, and its a- | doption recommeuded. ‘That course was agreed | upon, and Mr. Holmes, [ believe, of Maine, | presided over the committee of the Sen- | ate, and I presided over the committee of ‘the House. Idid then, what [ have protested | | would not do at this session, too much the lead in the discussion. I brought forward the pro. position which I will refer to presently; and I did more, I took the trouble to ascertain the views of each member of the committee—if [ may use the expression. I said, now, gen- tlemen, we do not want a proposition carried here by a simple majority, and reported to the House, there to be rejected. [ am for something practical,something conclusive some- thing decisive upon this agitating question, and it should be carried by a good majority. How will you vote, Mr. A.? how will you vote, Mr. B.? how will you Mr. C.? and If polled them in that way.

Now, sir, I want to call your attention to this period of history, and to the transactions which took place diring the progress of the discuss- ion upon the re.o uti a During the discussion which took place in the House at that time, from day to day, and from night to night—for the discussions fre. | queutly ran into the night—we who were for admitting Missouri into the Union said to our brethren from the North, “ Why, gentlemen, if there be any provision in the constitution of Missouri which is repugnant to the constitution of the United States, it is a nullity. The con. stitution of the United States, by virtue of its own operation—its own self.operation—vacates it. Any tribunal on earth before which the question may be brought, must pronounce the constitution of the United State paramount, and must pronounce as invalid the repugnant pro- visions of the censtitution of Missouri.” Well, sir, the argument was turned, and twisted, and used in every possible variety ofform, All was in vain. An inflexible majority steod out to the last against the administration of Missouri ; and yet the resolution— Mr. UNDERWOOD. I have it here. Mr. CLAY. If you will read it, I shall be obliged to you. Mr. Underwood read the resolution as fol- ows : Resolution providing for the admisssion of the State of Missouri into the Union on a certain condition. Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre.- sentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That Missouri shall be admitted into this Union on an equal footing with the original States in all respects what. ever, upon the fundamental condition that the fourth clause of the 26th section of the third ar- ticle of the constitution, submitted on the part of said State to Congress. shall never be con. strued to authorize the passage of any law, and that no law shall be passed in conformity there- to, by which any citizen of either of the States in this Union shall be excluded from the enjoy- ment of any of the privileges and immunities to which such citizen is entitled under the Consti- tution of the United States: Provided, That. the Legislature of the said State, by a solemn public act, shall declare the assent of the said State to the said fundamendal condition and ehall transmit to the President of the United States, on or before the fourth Monday in No. vember next, an authentic copy ofthe said act ; upon the receipt whereof the President, by proclamation, shall announce the fact ; where- the part of Congress, the admission of the said State into this Union shall be considered as complete. [ Approved, March 2, 1821. Mr. CLAY. There is the resolution, sir, and you see it is precisely what I have stated. After all this excitement throughout the coun- try, reaching to such an alarming point, that the Union itself was supposed to be in the most imminent peril and danger, the parties were satisfied by the declaration of an incontestable principle of constitutional Jaw, that when the constitution of a State is violative in its provis ions of the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the United States is para- mount, and the constitution of the State in that particular is a nullity and void. ‘That was all. They wanted something as a justification, and this appeared, at least, a justification of the course they took. ‘There is a great deal of language there of a high sounding character —that it shall be a fundamental act, a solemn act, an authentic act; but, afier all, when you come to strip it of its verbiage, it is nothing but the announcement of the principle that the Con- stitution of the United States is paramount over the local constitution of any one of the States of the Union.

Saunders then addressed the Cons vention at censiderable length. - Gen. Saunders in the fore part-of >is speech dwelt upon the plan adopted! at Greensborough, to secure the su of the stock. Every subseriber ia: the Hundred stood upon an equality. and bad a right to contract three times the ameousit, “c45 of bis subscription—for two-thirds: of which he received pay from the State, and one-third by the way-.of stock. Fifty thousand. dollars was the only amount se> quired to be paid in; and when this was done the Company could proceed: to aurs vey the route. After which publish adti- ces to take contracts and there would! be bids enongh. The plan was practicable; as the Reports of three railroads whith Bé bad before him would show. On the Wik mington and Manchester Road, the plan had been applied for 65 miles.. Parmeta had taken all the contracts and worked every dollar of it out in stock, at:@ ebdst not exceeding $500,000. Labor and prox visions were cheaper here, and the -worlt could be done by slaves at the expense of their owners of the necessary tools, de: Lay the Road out in divisions, the stock- | holders could work and build the whole road. He cited the Columbia and Greea- ville Road—the plan had succeeded there, where the farmers on the line were eithete the contracters themselves or sold the contractors the provisions. See adver tisement of Charlotte Road, which com- pelled contractors to take 20 per cent..in stock. In 60 days the whole line is taken, And, said Gen. Saunders, a gentleman of experience in the town of Wilmingtowex- pected to come here, and make money by taking contracts on this Road. 2 Doubt has been expressed as to wheth- er three millions of dollars would build the Road—he again referred to the Re- ports. Seventy four miles of the Green- ville Road had cost including T iron $651,~ 115: three times that distance would be 222 miles, a fraction over the length of the N.C. Railroad. which would cost at that rate $1,953.000 in round numbers:—< On another road, 126 miles had been baile for $1,432,000—double the amount and? 254 miles would cost lessthan 3 miltions: The Columbia and Charlotte road—the’ whole cost would be $1.378,987—double the distance and 218 miles at that rate would cost $2,757,000 in round numbets: We could afford to pay $14.000 a mile’ and yet come within three millions. -T iron could now be purchased at 950 the ton, and he learned could be landed at Petersburg for $41 85.

GRAHAM, Char’a, Gov. Graham made a few remarks on the | subject of the report. And powerful appeals | were made by Messrs. Swaiim, Pal, Cameron, | and Gen. Saunders. Mr Norwood, of Orange | said he would take one share in the Hundred. | It was annonnced that the whole of the Hun. | dred was taken. [fhe amount of shares in the Hundred having been declared to be only $8,000, and a large portion of the individual dred plan, there was yet a considerable bal. ance unsubscribed. } : The President, (Mr. Boylan) added $2,000 to his subscription. Adjourned until 3 o’clock. Afternoon Session. Mr. Graves stated fur the information of the Convention that there were $101,000 yet re- maining unsubscribed. Gov. Graham desired to know what action would be taken by the Convention on the Re. | port and Resolutions introduced by the Com. mittee of Four: and by request read them over. A deeply interesting discussion ensued on | the general subject, and the menne and pros. | pect of raising the balance-of subscriptions in | which Messrs. Norwood, Swain, Morehead, | Cameron, DeRosset, Hinton, Graves and) Thomas participated. Resolutions were offered by Mr. Thomas and amended by Mr. Mordecai, to the effect that the Company should, in letting out contracts of work on the Road, give the stockholders in the company a decided preference; and “that while this Convention does not believe that the estimates for contracts on said Road should be so high as to injure the Company, yet it does thing more than the expression of the opinion | the $100,000. the sum of eight thousand dollars, and | believe that contracts ought not to be let to the they have, therefore, not felt at liberty to lowes! bidder, but at the estimates of a compe. estimate them atatargersum.

He was willing in order to secure the charter to be. come one of Twenty to take the balance of the stock, or double his subseription. Gov. Morehead proposed that a company of Ten be formed to take the balance,-and was ready to be one of the number—what said bis | friend Mr. Cameron ?

Resolved, That whatever sums may be here- afier subscribed for stock on this Road shall go ta the release of those individuals who may subscribe for the above sum of one hundred thousand dollars. Mr, Jerkins said that if these resalutions were passed, he felt assured that Newbern would take one share ;. but if she did not, he would be responsible for it himself. Gov. Graham doubted the propriety of paes- ing these réselutions.. ‘The absent stockhold. ers might think it was doing injustice to them. As far.as he was concerned individually he had no objections to the resolutions. Gov. Morehead said there eould not be in- justice in the resolutione. ‘The same princi- ple had beea unanimously agreed to in the Greensborough Convention, and he believed would meet with the approbation of all the stock. holders. Surely if these persons stepped forward and assumed this additional respon- sibility to save the Road, it would not be un- just to extend to them this advantage. Mr. Graves thought the resolutions were no- of this Convention, and would bave no binding effect. At the general meeting of the stock, holders it might be rejected or not, as they saw proper, Gov. Morehead said that Mr. Graves was correct in bis epinion—that the proposition might be rejected at the geaeral meeting of the stockholders, but he thought it would not be. If it was rejected, the ten could then step out of the engagement, and Jet others provide The resolutions were then unanimously a- dopted. . Gov. Morehead then moved that Mr. Jobn W. Thomas of Davidson, in consideration of bis services in behalf of this Road, be permit- ted to head this list of teu subscribers for the $100,000, which was unanimously agreed to, and Mr. Thomas stepped forward and affixed his name te the paper. The following is the agreement entered into, with the names subscribed : We, the undersigned, do hereby agree to be- come each one of a company or association of not less than ten individuals, to take the re- maining One Hundred Thousand Dollars of un. subscribed Stock in the North Carolina Rail- road Company, ia conformity with the provis- ions of the resolutions adopted hy the Conven- tion in Hillsborough on the 26th February,1850.

At the present time, when the country is passing a most criti- cal period of its history ; and when every man should stand firmly at his post and freely render all the aid in his power to keep. the ship of State steady in its course, these party presses, apparently uncon- scious of, or unconcerned about the sur- rounding dangers, are busily employed in the pursuit of little party schemes, and affect to believe that such men as Gener- al Taylor, Clay, Webster, and all those in whom is enlodged the nation’s trust, are actuated by no higher motives than them- selves. Instead of contributing to allay the public excitement by wise and patri- otic efforts, these party sheets teem with the vilest perversions and misrepresenta- tions—furious in temper, and only produc- That the thanks of this Conven. foris in promoting the success of the ‘Nérth’ Cc li R ileoad 7 “ Submissionisis” can mean no one else but those, who ate ig, fayst of dohimitting to thé laws of the Land.

Ultraism.—The people of Duplin county held | a “ Southero meeting” lately, at which they a- dopted a resolution pledging themselves “ to support the measures of the Nashville Conven. lion.” Here now is a complete surrender of all reserved rights. It makes no difference namerous pressing engagements since my arrival here, and the effects of a recent indisposition, which has paralyzed my en. ergies for some days, have delayed much longer than I intended or expected my re. port on California. But I cannot longer permit the public mind to be assailed, per. haps misled, by insinuations, inquiries, | uncontradicted. I did not receive. and innuendoes, which if not promptly answered, may be considered as acquies- ced in; or bold asSertions—if misrepre* sentation has assumed that form—to pass I, therefore, assert that in connection with my duties in California, nor have I at any time received, secret instructions, whether what the Nashville Convention proposes to do | written or verbal, from the President of —what extreme measures it may adopt—the people of Duplin, that portion of them at least, who composed the meeting in question, have | given an unconditional pledge to support its ac. tion. Suppose that irresponsible body shall say “we dissolve this Union!” The members of this meeting stand pledged to support them.— Suppose they reeommend the formation of- an army and the invasion of the Northern States / Are the people of Duplin ready to join the eru- sade? Suppose they say we abolish slavery ? Are the people of Duplin ready to give up their negroes. This surrendering of our rights— this unconditional pledging away ourselves un- der any circumstances is bad enough ; but to do so in favor of such a body as that which will most probably assemble at Nashville, is too re- volting to think of; and with the Wilmington fur a time pervaded the Convention ; for it was | the understanding that if the whole were nottak.- en before the adjournment, the engagement should be void. Afier waiting same time and no progiess being made, Mr. Mordecai moved to adjourn, and took the paper containing the signatures fiom the table.

The such unlearn much of which they are now proud, and modestly receive the important lesson that “better is he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.” MR. WEBSTER’S SPEECH. This is one of the most masterly productions which have been delivered in the present Congress. Mr. W. enters upon his subject—which is that of slavery—with | a full sense of its exciting nature ; and beginning at the beginning of its history ever since it was known to ex- ist in the world, comes down, in his review, to its pre- sent condition in this country; and whilst he avows hinself in opposition to its extension, he upsets one of the strongest grounds of opposition to it urged by the wild fanatics of his own and other free States, to wit: that it is contrary to the religion of Christ. In relation to the territories of California, New Mex- ico and Texas, Mr. W. shows that so far as slavery is concerned, the question as to them is forever settled.— The terms of admission into the Union of Texas guar- anties that whenever new States are formed within her bounds, they are to come into the Union as slave | States. This is provided for by a solemn enactment of Congress, and cannot be avoided but by the most pal- pable breach of Constitutional law. As to California .ojvation profoundly, and embraced i t ’ t cordially. and New Mexico, Mr. W. takes the ground that a | : Y oa Higher Power than that of man, has settled the ques- tion. He believes the nature of the country is such that slavery—African slavery—can never exist there, and therefore it is useless and mischievous to attempt to lay upon it the restriction of the Wilmot proviso. We cannot do this speech justice in a notice like this, | and shall therefore leave it for the present, hoping we shall soon find ourselves able to spread it before our We will only add further, that concerning the admission of California, as a State, Mr. W. says ‘“ re- mand her back to the territorial eondition, as was done in the case of Tennessee.” Congress refused to admit her on the ground of certain irregularities, and Mr. W. declares that the irregularities in the case of California, are ‘‘ immeasurably greater,” than in that of Tennes- see.

[Com. Near Huntsville, Sarry County, on the 9th ult., Mrs. ELIZABETH ANN PURYEAR. wife of Col. R. C. Puryear, and sister of Hon. T. L. Clingman. She was near the close of her 34th year. Her disease was pro- tracted ; and though for a time alternating from extreme pain to comparative exemption, yet for several months before her death, the result was clearly foreseen. The writer of this notice saw her about five weeks before her | death. She had no expectation of regaining her health, nor of surviving long, yet her composute of mind was re- markable. It was not the calmness of insensibility, but of a firm, unshaken reliance on her Saviour. During the last month, she suffered extremely, but with a pa- tience and resignation which such suffering only served to exhibit. Mrs. Puryear was one of those good women ; whose obituary should be something more than a simple annunciation of her death. Having received an educa- tion, which developed a thirst for knowledge an a | love of books, and living retired from the throng and ! us- tle of crowded society, she had read mueh, and wi:: great profit, both intellectually and spiritually. One resukt was, that she was pre-eminently fitted for all the domestic and social relations. An intelligent husband could find in her an intellectua! companion ; she knew how to form the minds and habits of her children ; as a mistress, she was reepected, obeyed and loved by her servants. In her social intercourse with her neighbore and friends, she was affable, frank and kind. She of course, enjoyed the confidence ard esteem of her numerous acquaintances. When her attention was thoroughly turned to the sub- ject of religion, she engaged earnestly in the matter of her own personal salvation. She studied the plan of She studied the christian duties according to a broad view of moral obligation, and devoted herself to their perform- ance. It is not surprising that she could say, very short- ly before the close of life, and with a firm and steady voice, “ I have not the least fear of death!” Hers was an assurance easily understood, and well worth living for. She had been a member of the Presbyterian Church nearly four vears. Her comparative youth and apparent- ly good health at the time of joining the Church, prom- ised that she might long live to adorn its doctrines.and enjoy its privileges. But, alas! “ we know not what a day may bring forth.” She is gone! To her husband, her mother, and all her near friends, the trial will be long and sorely felt. The community in which she lived, will feel the loss of a kind friend, and the Church a valuable member.— But she has doubtless gone to her everlasting rest.

HE Subscriber offers for sale a small lot of Land situated on the Road.to ~ Locke's Bridge, one mile and @ half from Salisbury. It consists of 20 or 22 Aeres, uneleared. There is some good timber on it, and a large quantity of fire wood ; and its nearness to Town, where there is a never failing demand for wood, makes it much more valuable, than richer land situated at a greater distance off. The soil is not of the first quality. But the location compensates for its deficiency in this respect; and the hand of industry could soon make it one of the most desirable places for a residence. The subscriber would also remind the public that as the great Central Rail Road project is now looked apon as successful be- yond a doubt, every inch of land, especially near this Town, must soon be greatly enhanced in value ; and those who wish to obtain such property there, should lose no time in doing so.

Aye, keep thy heart in that hushed time ! And though no other ear Win gladden to the liquid chime, Thine own wilt surely hear The strain that, born of seraph’s thought, At twilight hour to earth is brought ! And be thy spirit sad or gay, Thy dream-land dark or bright, They will bat hover round thy way, And gild the gloom with light. Then keep thy heart at twilight hour, When stars drop down a silvery shower ! a ‘ ‘S REMEMBRANCES., Oft at the hour when evening throws It gathering shades o'er vale and hill, , While half the scene in twilight glowe, And half in san-light glories still, The thought of all that we have been, And hoped and feared on life’s long way— Remembrances of joy and pain, Come mingling with the cloee of day. The distant scene of Youth's bright dream, The smiling green, the rustling tree ; The murmur of the grass-fringed stream, The bounding of the torrent free— The friend whoee tender voice no more Shall sweetly thrill the listening ear, "Phe glow that Love's first vision wore, And Disappointment’s pangs—are here. Bat soft o’er each reviving scene The chastening hues of Memory spread ; And smiling each dark thought between, Hope softens every tear we shed.

She who sleeps upon my heart Was the first to win it ; She who dreams upon my breast Ever reigns within it ; She who kisses oft my lip Wakes its warmest blessing ; She who rests with my arms Feels there closest pressing. Other days than these shall come, Days that may be dreary: Other hours shall greet us yet, Hours that may be weary: . Still that heart shall be thy home, _ Still that breast thy pillow ; Still those lips meet thine as oft Biltow meeteth Billow. Sleep, then, on my bappy heart Since thy love has won it: Dream, then, on my loyal breast— None but thou hast done it. And when oar bloom shall change With its wintry weather, May we in the self same grave Sleep and dream together. The following stanzas by the late P. P. Cook, of Win- chester, Va., author of Florence Vane, the Froissart ballads, etc., we take from the Southern Literary Mes- genger. They strike us as having a peculiar beauty : “TO MY DAUGHTER LILY.” “ Six changeful years are gone, Lily, Since you were born to be - A @arfing to your mother good, A happiness to me. A little shivering, feeble thing You were to touch and view, But we coald see a promise in Your baby eyes of blue. “You fastened on our hearts, Lily, As day by day wore by, And beauty grew upon your cheeks And deepened in your eye ; A year made dimples in your hands And plumped your little feet, And you had learned some merrp ways Which we thought very sweet. “And when the first sweet word, Lily, Your wee mouth learned to aay, Your mother kissed it fifty times, And marked the famous day. - I know not even now, my dear, If it was quite a word, But your proud mother surely knew, For she the sound bad heard, When you were four years old, Lily, You were my little friend, And we had walks and nighily plays, And talks without an end, Your little ones are sometimes wise For you are undefiled, A grave grown man will start to hear The strange words of a child. “ When care pressed on our house, Lily, Pressed with an iron hand— I hated mankind for the wrong Which festered in the land— But when I read your young frank faee Its meanings, sweet and good, My charities grew clear again I felt my brotherhood, “* And sometimes it would be, Lity, My faith in God grew eold, For I saw Virtue go in rags, And vice in cloth of gold ; Bat in your innoeence, my ebild, And in your mother’s love, I learned those Jeseons of the heart Which fasten it above. ** At last our cares are gone, Lily, And peace is back again, As you have scen the sun shine out After the gloomy rain: In the good land where we were bora We may be bappy still, A life of love will bless our home— The bouse upon the hill.

[Adopted with deafening applause. } Circumstantial Evidence.—In a plea for the suspension of public opinion in the case of men charged with crime, asin the case of Dr. Webster of Boston, until the result of a legal investigation has been attained, the Journal of Commerce re- marks: | “ Mer do not reflect that cireumstances may appear terribly against an innocent man. The case of the Bournes in Ver- mont, has not escaped the recollection of our older readers. They were tried and condemned to death for the murder of Russel Colvin. The sentence of one of them was commuted to imprisonment for life. The other awaited execation. The remains of the murdered man had, as was supposed, been destroyed, but nails, and bones, and battons from his clothes were found and identified. A few days before that named for the execution of the con- demned man, Russet Colvin entered town, alive and well.” The Boston Transcript says, the Jour- nal omits to mention the most marvellous feature in this case, which was, that the accused persons themselves finally con- fessed the murder, their minds having been wrought upon by some worthy reli- gious people, who actually drove them to the belief in their own guilt.—R. Rep. RAPID GROWTH. * A Correspondent of the Tarboro’ Press, writing from Texas, states that Fort Brown opposite Matamoras, which was built after the commencement of our war with Mexico, has already become a city. containing a population of about Ten Thousand persons. He adds that one House alone had sold above a million of dollars worth of merchandize to the Mex- icans. “You look like death on a pale horse,’ said Jim toa toper, who was growing pale and emaciated. “I dont know any thing about it.” said the toper, “but I'm death on pale brandy, Mr. Horn.” The Telegraph made a great mistake in reporting the sum at which the Mano- script of Washington’s Farewell Address was sold. It should have been $2,300 in- stead of $20,300. “What's the matter Cesar 7” “Dat nigger dat lib down cat alley hit me on de mouf wid his fist.” “Well did'nt you strike him back Ca- sar?” “No massa, but J strike him head !” An exchange gives us this: “I say Pete, some darned Whig stole half my pig last night.” “How do you know it was a Whig. Bill?” “Because if it had heen a Loco, he'd have taken the whule of it.”— We left then. SORROW.

It might be supposed that, at this crisis, (says the Bajtimore American of Tues- day) when the integrity of the Union seems in peril, there would be some ces- sation of party virulence on the part of even the most vindictive. The preserva- tion of the Union ‘is not a matter certainly apon which the Whig and Democratic parties are divided ; nor does there seem to be any occasion for mingling that great subject with any partizan question or pre- judice. But there are some whose hostility to General Taylor’s Administration has ap- parently taken the form of a nomination— so bitter is their hatred, so insane are the manifestations of it. Let the reader pe- ruse the following passages from the Washington Union. They are appended to an extract from some anonymous letter in which it is intimated that if active steps should be taken towards a dissolution, the President would use the military and na- val forces of the country to suppress such movement: lof ‘the Seiinte, the ch es e ror inte sry ntocen ieadeg to Ie word tt before twelve o'clock. “Ladies 2 distingaishéd persons were oh the fod the Sedate. ” Atviong’ the’ persons.

Mr. Webster spoke about three hotrs and a half, and. as he said, with no purpose of ambitious display.— He came here, he said, to speak for the Union. His exordium was simple and impressive, and his peroration grand. I confine myself merely. ta a slatement of his own views and purposes ag to the questions before the Senate. .To render them distinct and plain, I may state them as follows :— ; . Ist. That the character-of the whole territory belonging to the United States, as respects the existence of slavery in it, is already fixed by unalterable laws. 2d. That the faith of the United States pledged to the execution of the contract between the United States and Texas, to admit new States, not more than four ia, number, from her territory, when they shall have sufficient population; and that. as Slavery existed in Texas at the time of ja point of fact, it existed in all the terri- regard to it on the other side of the line? | | December 28, 1847, to appoint delegates whole of the civilized world. Sir, can you annexation, those were to be slavehold- a jory south of the line of 36 deg. 30 min., embracing Arkansas and Louisiana. It yas not necessary then, it is true, to in- grt a clause admitting slavery at that jime. yrdict, there is power to admit; and I pos it to gentlemea trom the South, are hey prepared to be satisfied with the line df 36 deg. 30 min., interdicting slavery to he north of it, and giving them no guar- any for the possession of slavery south of tat line?

That nothing short of a itive recognition of slavery south of ihe line of 36 deg. 30 min. would satisfy | him. Well, is there any body who be- lieves that you could get twenty votes in his body, or a proportional number in the her House, to a declaration in favor of ihe recognition of slavery south of the line 36 deg. 30 min.? It isimpossible. All wsion, Was action on the north of the pouth of that line. side, without any corresponding provision Jor its admission on the other side of the line of 36 deg. 30 min. Now, Sir, when | came to consider the subject, and to compare the provisions of propose for the accommodation of this question, what said | to myself ? Jofer the line of 36 deg. 30 min., inter- dicting slavery north of it, and leaving the qdestion open south of that line, I offer that’ which is illusory to the South, I offer that which will deceive them, if they sup- pose that slavery will be introduced south that line. It is better for them, I said to myself—itis better for the whole South, that there should be non-action on both sides, than there should be action intro ducing slavery on one side, withvut action for the admission of slavery on the other side of the line. Is it not so? is gained by the South, if the Missouri line is extended to the Pacific, with an in- terdiction of slavery north of it? Why. tit, one of the very arguments which has been most often and most seriously urged by the South has been this, that we do } XO want you to legislate upon the sub- y Jeetat all; you ought not to touch it; you have no power over it. I do not con- cur,as is well known from what I have | id upon this occasion, in this view of | But that is the Southern ar- We do not want you to legis- the subject. ment ? at all on the subject of slavery; but , if you adopt the Missouri line and exten itto the Pacific, and interdict slavery worth of that line, you do legislate upon the subject of slavery, and you legislate Without a corresponding equivalent of le- Bislation on the subject of slavery south ofthe line. For, if there be legislation lterdicting slavery north of the line, the Principle of equality would require that there should be legislation admitting sla- Very south of the line. Sir, I have said that I never could vote for it, and I repeat that I never can, and lever will vote for it: and no earthly Power shall ever make me vote to plant tavery where slavery does not exist.— ill, if there be a majority—and there Cught to be such a majority—for inter- ticting slavery north of the line, there *ught to be an equal majority—if equali- and justice be done to the South—to Mit slavery south of the line. And if ere be a majority ready to accomplish th of these purposes, though | cannot ‘oneur in the action, yet | would be one the last to create any disturbance, I Yould be one of the first to acquiesce in legislation, though it is contrary to fair judgment and my own conscience. theo then, it would be better to keep b Whole of these territories untouched 7 any legislation by Congress on the sub- tof slavery, leaving it open, undecided, “tent any action of Congress in rela- hay it; that it would be best for the the and best for all the views which » South has, from time to time, disclosed Ties correspondent with her wishes. there it may be said with regard to ceded territories, as itis said- with SS TT AS eS LS A T rr se ee mm me wm But, sir, if there is a power to in- | that you can get, all that you can expect wget, all that was proposed at the last | Jin, and non-action as regards slavery | It isinterdicted on one | dhe line of 36 deg. 30 min.—-the Missouri | seompromise line—with the plan which I | Why, if | What. then, | Sir, | am taxing both the physical and | intellectual powers which a kind Provi- dence has bestowed upon me too much— _too much by far—though I beg to be per- mitted, if the Senate will have patience ‘for I do not desire to trespass another day upon your time and patience, as | am ap- _proaching though | have not yet nearly | arrived at the conclusion. [ The following is a condensed account of the _ remaining portion of this Speech.] | Mr. C. then traced the history of this nation | from its foundation to the present day; its vast increase in population and in territory ; the glo. rious manner in which it had prosecuted several 'wars,and the brilliant renown it had gained | through the gallantry, skill and achievements of its officers. ‘The events of the late war, and the conduct of the two great and leading off- cers, were dwelt upon with much power. The | universal prosperity of the country, with the | exception of a few manufacturing districts, was | unbounded ; and it was from the very wanton- "ness of prosperity that most of the wild schemes of the day emanated. He then enumerated the various leading acts _of government adopted when the North and South respectively held sway in the councils of | the nation. Upon a review of these events, he thought the South had but little to reproach the North with. ‘They had established a Bank of the U. States, “under the administration of Mr. Madison, and the bill was reported by the Senator from South Carolina (Mr. Calhoun ; and he (Mr. Clay) had voted for that bill, although in 1816 he had voted | to put down the Bank. Afterwards the South, aided by a few from the North, and headed by General Jackson, had put down the Bank again. | The South had extended protection to manufac. tures, and afterwards broken up that protection, and one member of the Southern States had opposition to that protection. Florida was purchased, and slavery was al- | lowed to exist there. Louisana was acquire 1, |and over all her territory that was valuable, slavery was now in existence. The South pressed the annexation of Texas, and she was admitted—being a slave territory. | Texas led to the war with Mexico ; the war led ‘to the acquisition of the territories. Afier all thia, is it just for the South to speak of dissolu- tion when the North claims that the only por- tion of the acquisitions to the territory of the nation to which she could put forth a claim should be free? Will disunion be any remedy for evils of | which the South complains ? of slavery from the Territories, the abolition of slavery in this District and the refusal to surren- der fugitive slaves, are the grounds upon which the dissolution of the Union is to depend. If the Union be dissolved, can slavery be carried into the Territories? Itcannot. If abolished in this District, will the dissolution of the Union restore slavery to the District? Wouldthere be any better chance of recapturing your fugitive slaves afier a dissolution of the Union? Certainly not. Afier a dissolution, all redress is at an end. Will the South be more secure in their slaves within their own States afier dissolution than they are now? ‘Then the slaves will find that their escape will be far easier. He denied the right of any one or more States to secede. The Union was to be forever and for all posterity. Dissolution of the Union and war were inseparable. To dissolve the Union, ‘there must be a consent given or actual war. That consent would not be given and war was the only mode left. Even if consent could be obtained, in less than sixty days there must be a war between the emperacies. Slaves will escape from Kentucky across the river into free States ; they will be pursued, the pursuers will be repulsed, and then comes a war ; and in less | than sixty days the whole country will be in the blaze of war. In case of a dissolution of the Union there must be three emperacies—the northern free States, the southern Atlantic States, and the ‘confederacy of the Great Mississippi valley.— Those who reside at the head-waters and trib- utaries of that river will never consent that the mouth of that river shall ever be held by a for- eign power. ‘There will be other divisions ; but the dark veil which overhangs the future, is too thick to be penetrated by mortal eyes. He was for staying inthe Union. He would not allow him- | self to be driven out of it. He was for remain- _ing where be was, and for fighting for bis rights | there. In the Union he now was, and there /he meant to die. ‘There was a better opportu. “nity of maintaining his rights ia the Union, than there was of getting them out of the Union. | ‘The union of these States was forall posteri- ity. It was like the marriage relation, there was | NO power to dissolve the tie. And he would | conjure the northern States abd the eouthers } | | | | with me, to conclude what I have to say, | threatened a dissolution of the Union in her | The exclusion | It will not.— | lightly contemplate these consequences? Can you yield yourself to the tyranny of passion, a- midst dangers which I have depicted in colors | far too tame, of what the result would be if that direful event to which I have referred should ever occur? Sir, I implore gentlemen, I ad- jure them, whether from the South or the North by all that they hold dear inthis world—by all their veneration for their ancestors—by all their gratitude to Him who has bestowed on them such unnumbered and countless blessings —by all the duties which they owe to mankind —and by all the duties they owe to themselves, to pause, solemnly to pause at the edye of the precipice, before the fearful and dangerous leap is taken into the yawning abyss below, from which none who ever take it shall return in safety. _ Finally, Mr. President, and in conclusion, I implore, as the beat blessing which Heaven can bestow upon me upon earth, that if the direful and sad event of the dissolution of this Union is to happen, that I shall not survive to behold the sad and heart-rending spectacle. On motion, the Senate adjourned. “Who attempted to break down Mr. Clingman? Raleigh Whigism, and noth- ing else ; and a portion of this same Whig- ism led on by the Times, is warring on him now. They dislike him because he has always stood up for the West, and just now his bold and unflinching advo- cacy of Southern rights is calling down upon him their particular indignation.”— Raleigh Standard The above vile slander upon the Whigs of Raleigh has no doubt attracted the no- tice of our citizens. The attempt is de- liberately made to produce the impression that Raleigh “Whigism” as it is termed, ‘or the Raleigh Whigs, are opponents of those who advocate “Southern rights :” and enemies of “the West;” and are there. fore “waring” upon Mr. Clingman, “be- cause he hasalways stood up for the West” and just now his bold and unflinchihg ad- vocacy of Southern rights is calling down upon him their particular indignation.” It is worthy of remark that this comes from a pure patriot, who professes to ‘know no party” upon the Slavery question ; but who yet sedu- lously seeks always to produce the impression that it is the Southern democrats alone, and those who join.them, who are “sound,” patriot- ic, and wide awake to the rights and honor of the South. Hence the Whigs of Raleigh are | charged with “particular indignation” against Mr. Clingman, because of his “bold and unflin- ching advocacy of Southern rights.” But not alone upon the: Whigs of Raleigh ‘are the vilest slanders and falsehoods poured ‘forth. Every Whig who evinces a determina. | tion to preserve the Union, comes in for bis | share of the bitterest denunciations, the black- |est abuse. Hear this sam~ paper: “Whatever Zachary Taylor’s motives may have been or may now be, his acts prove him | thus far not merely a traitor to the land of his | birth, but miserably weak and inefficient in the | great post he occupies,” Wc. Here is the secret of all this patriotic Edito:’s warm Southern feeling—his tender regard to the rights of the South—enmity to the Whigs | and the Whig President—bitter party malice. | _ If we will not consent that he and such as he | shall set on foot and carry out fanatical schemes | either to break down the Administration, or to | dissolve the Union, we are branded as “traitors” | from Gen. Taylor and the Whigs of Raleigh down to the humble Editor of the ‘Times. It remains for all good men in the South to ‘consider whether they are going to permit the | Union of the States to be put in peril, by those who agitate this matter merely as a means of opposing the Administration of General ‘Taylor “io the bitter end” however loud may be their hypocritical professions of loyalty to the South, and concern for the security of her rights and interests. How deadly must be that partizan | | to a Whig Administration—which for the sake of “the spoils,”—and in our deliberate judgment this isthe moving Locofoco cause—for the sake thern Patriot and Soldier, whom the People of this great nation have elevated to the highest office in their gift, will sow disaffection broad. cast through the South, the better to alienate from him the affections of his truest supporters, that he may be displaced from the Presidency, and a Locofoco“visted into his room ! That’s the object—not that they love the South so much, but that they hale the Whig Administration. ‘Fhe Whigs of Raleigh are Unionisis—hence they must be. denounced— branded, as “warring” against Southern rights and-as pouring “their particular indignation” upoe:the advecaies of those rights. : If any whig in Raleighias ever cesparised malignity which prefers the ruin of the country | ot rendering odious, a true, brave, devoted Sou- | to the Baltimore Convention to nominate 'a candidate for President, the following resolutions were unanimonsly adopted : “Resolved, That the people of the Sou do not ask of Congress to establish the in- stitution of slavery in any of the territory that may be acquired by the United States. They simply require the inhabitants of | each territory shall be left free to determine for themselves whether the institution of slavery shall or shall not form a part of | thetr social system.” This was explicit enough. but they did not stop atthat. In June 1848, they held another Convention in Milledgeville to rat- ify the nomination of the Baltimore Con- vention, and again made a declaration of their principles, among which may be found the following resolution : “Resolved. That the opinions of the de- mocracy of Georgia, on the question of slavery in the territories, were correctly set forth in the resolution of the late Dem- ocratic Convention at Milledgeville, in December last, which declares that ‘the poople of the South do not ask of Congress to establish the institution of slavery in any of the territories that may be acquir- ed by the United States. They simply re- quire that the inhabitants of each Terri- tory shall be left free to determine for themselves whether the institution of slavery shall or shall not form a part of their social system.” The people of California have deter- mined that ‘slavery shall not form a part of their social system,’ and the Democra- cy of Georgia in 1848 said they have a right to say so, if such should be their de- termination ; but now they say if Congress admit California asa State.into the Union with the prohibition of Slavery in her. constitution, it will be cause for calling a Convention of the people of this State to take intoconsideration the mode and meas- ure of redress. Why this change? What has caused the Democracy to turn such a sudden sum- merset? If the right to determine this question for themselves belonged to the people of the Territories in 1848. (and so said the Sachems and head of the Demo- cratic party, in full council assembled.) what has deprived them of the right of 1850? We ask for information. We must have light on this subject before we can consent to go with the Democracy in their crusade against the Union. DISINTERESTED PATRIOTISM. The Standard of last week let out the secret of much of the furore exhibited by certain politicians in favor of the Nash- ville Convention. They wish to be sent to that city, which they have destined to become as famous as Hartford, in order that they may preserve the Union at the public expense. The State is expected to shell out the dimes to pay the way of those who having no business of their own, are willing to undertake a summer visit, for a consideration ! make speeches, pass res- olutions, and express their devotion to the South—so that, on their return, they may button their breeches pockets over a com- fortable sum by way of per diem and mile- age ! How cool the Fayetteville Carolinian is, too. Hear this sage oracle of CrossCreek: “The expenses ought to be paid; if not, there will not be a full delegation.” Aha! —but one word more: “It costs something and takes time to go to Nashville, on ac- count of its being off the great line of tra- vel.” Well, here is some comfort—the ‘ewer the better at such a meeting—so that, when the Candidate for the Presiden- Carolina will be committed to him. The plan is unfolding, gradually. The people will open their eyes after a while ; ‘and they will see the most stupendots hombog that ever was presented to their gaze—in this same Convention now pro- jected at Nashville. The Locofoco horns are already sticking out a feet—and the hide and tail will appear soon, so palpa- ble, that no one will be in danger of fail- ing to discover the genus of “the critler.” —Raleigh Times. “Why are a young Lady's eyes like a plough or a boe ?” Lt beg “Because they are implpmenis of Huse BANDRY.” stags fag ae bi “This paragraph will give the reader a correct view of the whole plan of opera- tions devised by the Administration—a plan as flagitious, cold-blooded, and really treasonable against the safety of the peo- ple and the integrity of the Union, as was ever concocted by an Arnold or a Burr. It is to excite, through its northern tools and allies, the fanatics of the North to continue their attempts to inflame the people of the South, and then, if the lat- ter do not patiently submit, to subjugate them by arms. “ The safety of the Union, and the lives and property of the people of the South, are the dice with which this desperate and atrocious game for political power is to be played by. the present fallen and dis- cy comes to be nominated, nobody in North | credited Administration. Let the people of the South contemplate seriously the enormity of wickedness and atrocity which it involves, and let them wake up to the sad and astounding reality, that this Ad- ministration has no. sympathy for their cause or their rights; that, in its desper- ate schemes for power, it is ready to ex- cite them to acts of hostility against the Union, if possible, and then to put them down with fire and sword. This is the wicked purpose of the administration, if we can judge of its designs by its acts ; and there are no truer interpreters of bu- man motives than actions.” These allegations (continues the Amer- ican) are made as deliberately as though the utterers of them believed them to be true. In the same spirit and with equal effrontery the same journal charges “That the Federal or Whig party of the United States—the abolition of Federalists of the North and the Slaveholding Whigs of the South acting in alliance—are the authors of all the present evils and dangers that afflict the country and imperil the peace of the Union.” It is well that such virulence as this de- feats itself. The blindness of such rage, depriving it of all discretion, is a fortunate accompaniment of so much malignity. We assure our readers that these extracts are not exceptions to the general tenor of the language in the columns of the jour- nal from which they are taken. Day af- ter day, the torrent flows on—The reser- voir of abuse seems inexbaustible.— Pet. Intelligencer. It grieves us to see the tone of most of the Democratic, and a few of the Whig papers of the South, towards all persons who cannot see precisely with them on the subject of the Nashville Convention.— Every one whocannot see in that Conven- tion a complete salve for the cure of all the wounds inflicted on the South by her brethren of the North, is denounced as a traitor by the papers above alluded to.— Is it just, is it right, to denounce a man as a traitor, because he may conscientiously differ from them in opinion ? We, for one, cannot see what good the Nashville Convention can do. A coaple of weeks ago we stated our reasons for our belief. Since then we have seen no- thing to induce us to think otherwise. — God, who knows the thoughts of the heart knows that it is not a want of love for the South that prompts us to the above belief, but a sincere conviction that the Nashville Convention is calculated to do no good, and may do injury. The subject is now fairly before a Con- gress, not composed of Northern men, or Southern men, but of men representing all sections and interests of the Union; and as we look upon the present difficulty asa National one, we would in God’s name, leave it with this National Congress for adjustment, with a hope—yea, a be. lief—that there will be found in that body plenty of good sense and patriotism to meet the present emergency. We would leave our representatives and Senators untrammelled, to follow the dictates of their own good sense. Let us serutinize, nar-owly their ac ims; and if jt be faund that they show aoy symptoms of. hetray- ing-their trast, then let the South call a Convention, or take actior on it in what- ever way may .serm best_unto the masses se of the people. —N-C.

He was content with the law of nature, and would put no Wilmot io it.— He denied the right of the Legislature of Massachusetts to instruct- him to vote @- gainst the dictates of common sense, and he would not vote for the Proviso, if of- fered. 5th. New Mexico, if ever settled, would necessarily be free from African slavery, or any thing of the sort, except peerage or predial service. 6th. He dwelt upon and strongly en- forced the moral and constitutional! obli- gations of the North to carry into effeot the stipulation for the surrender of fugi- tive slaves. On this point he was very strong, as indeed. upon every other. He argued that the Constitution was address- ed to States, and bound them as well as individuals, and the States were bound to carry this clause of the Constitution into effect. He would cheerfully support the Bill on this subject now before the Senate. 7th. He deprecated all the agitation of abolitionists, in whatever form it was kept up, and especeially that of legisla- tive resolutions and instructions. 8th. He was willing that the South | should be aided in removing free negroes from their territories by the General Gov- ernment, and in sending them to Liberia or elsewhere. He would vote for an ap- propriation for this object to the extent of the whole sum which the Treasury had received from the public lands, if the South desired it. 9th. He would discuss the question of the boundaries of California, . territorial governments. &c., when the subject came properly before the Senate. These are the general views of Mr. Webster bearing on the vexed question. The majority of the Senate and the au- ditors were highly gratified at their char- acter. They are considered as bringing us nearer than we ever were before to an adjustment. In regard to the Wilmot Proviso, Mr. Webster treated it with utter contempt and disdain. There is nothing in satire and irony that he does not employ against it. He had to fight a battle against Nor- thern prejudices, and every instrument which logic and the whole armory ef sar- casm could furnish he employed. When he brought up his heavy artillery, and en- forced the moral obligations of compacts, he was mighty. He was overpowering in reflections on the conduct of Northern democracy, in regard to some of these things. It is a question bow far the North will immediately support Mr. Webster's posi- tions; but it is believed he will prevail. The conservatives in the North will rally in his support. The South and West will back him. Mr. Calhoun was an attentive listener to the whole speech. At its close, he rose and expressed much gratification at the views of Mr. Webster on three principal points, which he enumerated—Texas, fu- gitives, and leaving slavery in California tonature. He[{Mr. Calhoun] had always been willing to leave the question fo be settled by nature. He was willing to give territorial governments according to usage. The points on which he differed from Mr. Webster were :—Ist. As to the objects of acquiring Louisiana, Florida and Texas, which Mr. W. imputed to a design to extend slaveholding interesis.— 2d. As to some part of the ordinance of 1787. 3d. As tothe question of a right to secede. Mr. Webster rejoined. and, as to the latter point, insisted that nothing but the law of necessity—the right of ‘revolution —could justify secession. After some hit- tle conversation, Mr. W. dropped the mat- ter, saying, “1 bave often breken a lance- with the henorable Senator—! do not wish to repeat it now.” Mr. Calhoun re- plied; “| have no wish to do it.” It did not appear, from this conversa-’ tion, that, except as to some historical points, and one very abstract poiut, there was any difference between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Rea tapete the views of the lalter. There. is one feaiark, however, of i rene errr eT Mr. Calhoun, that is to be considered.— Me. C.. after stating bis gratification at Mr. W’s views on the subject of fugitives, raid ie did not hope that any effect would follow from the enactment of the Bill be- sore the Senate. This is one of the points that excited Gen. Cass so much the other day; for he seemed to deny the right of any one to assume that the North would not comply with the requisitions of the Bill. Mr, Webster, it must be observed. expressly insisted that it was the duty of the States to carry the constitutional pro- vision into effect. and he went so far as to say that the members of State Legisla- tores, who took an oath to support the Constitution, violated it by their refusal or neglect to support it in this case; and he wholly disapproved of the doctrines | and decisions of the Supreme Court which had relicved the States from this obliga- tion.

Al one o'clock, after some unimportant busi. pa - ness, the Senate resumed the consideration of | gh0 ig The south cannot consistently reject her.— the President’s message in reiation to Califor. nia. Mr. Seward took the floor and proceeded to speak in favor of the admission of California. It was not true, as had been argued, that she bad come here unceremoniously for we stipu- lated, when we tore her from the Mexican do. minion, that she should come into this Union. But it was true that she offered herself for ad- mission without the customary preliminaries. This was justified by the failure of Congress to provide for a territorial government for Cal. ifurnia. Thus California made ber constitu. tion and came here under the prominent law of self preservation. He treated the subject of the boundaries assumed by California, and Wasuincros, March 8. Mr. Webster’s specch has poured oil on | the tronbled waters. His speech has giv- | en usa confidence in the speedy restora- tion of harmony to Congress and the coun- try, Which was unfelt before. It is re- markable that not one conservative and conciliatory speech has yet been made on the northern side of the vexed question in the House of Representatives ; and there are those who still confidently assert that a majority of the House will reject any scheme of compromise founded on the propositions of Messrs. Clay and Bell and the views of Mr. Webster. But in regard to the Senate, there can be no doubt that some bill will before lung be matured and passed. Mr. Foote was authorized by a major ity of the Senators to move. this morning, | a reference of the whole subject to a se- lect committee of thirteen—six from the North and six from the South—and one to be by them selected. Mr. Clay approves of this course and will vote for it. Mr. Calboun and Mr. Baldwin. and probably Messrs. Hale and Seward, will oppose it. The plan has been adopted on previous occasions. Mr. Clay, at the crisis of the Missouri question, first proposed a com- mittee of thirteen. We may expect that the fires of bigot- A and persecution will be kindled in the ast, for Mr. Webster's grand auto de fe. The anti slavery men will never forgive his heresy—that any public faith is to be kept with slaveholders. They already represent him here as self—sacrificed. The speech will become the subject of contro— versy in New England, and | have little doubt myself, that it will lead men to think who have never thought before, on this subject, and that Mr. Webster will be triumphantly sustained by the great conservative mass of the eastern people. In the State of New York, 1 am assured that the speech will have excellent effect. But come what may, that noble effort in behalf of the Union, is the crowning glory of bis illustrious career. Mr. Foote and Mr. Calhoun.—TVhe Baltimore Bun gives a condensed sketch of an incidental discussion in the Senate on the 5th, in which Mr. Foote expressed his dissent from some of the positions of Mr. Calhoun. It is said that the ground taken by Mr. Foote was not assum. ed without Consultation with his Southern col. leagues. Mr. Calhoun is believed to stand al. most or quite alone in his project for an amend- ment of the Constitution : Whilst up Mr. F, would take occasion to ask an explanation of ove or two passages in the speech of the Senator from South Carolina, and he was sorry be was not in his seat. He hoped that Senator or his colleague would state whether it was the purpose of the Senator to insist upon a change of constitution as a neces. sary guaranty of Southern rights, and the con. dition on which the South would be satisfied, | Mr. Foote was content with the constitution as | it was; and an amendment at this time was im. practicable, and if insisted on hy the South would be a movement adverse to the Union. He (Mr. F.) did not consider the Southern Convention as tending to disunion ; if he did, he would not support it. Ifthe Sonator’s speech go out as it is, without explanation, it will lead to the impression that the alternative to a change of the constitution, is disunion. Mr. F. was highly gratitied with the Sena. tor’s remarks, and fully concurred in most of hie views, He regretted that the Senator had gone so far as to declare that the whole body of the Northern people treated the South | with contempt and hostility. Mr. Butier did not understand his colleague to say that the Union could not be patched up and kept together by a compromise, and with- vul an amendment of the constitution. But his colleague was of the opinion that the amend. ent was necessary to prevent future danger. Mr. Calhoun asked what was the question. The Chair said, nothing. Mr. Colhoun. [am very sorry that one of us should in the morning hour bring up this sub. ject. OF what do>s the gentleman complain ? Does he intend to accuse me of being an advo. cate of disunion ) Mr. Foote explained. He was sorry the honorable Senator Lad not heard bis former re- inarkes. All that he winted to say was that he hoped the S nator would co etplain that part of the apeech which appa rently insisted upon a change of the constinticn. asa sine qua@ non, 89 as to reHeve «ther Senators from supporting it. He did not heetor over any one, and would he heetored over hy no one.

He answered all the several objections that had been made to the admission of California as a State. He argued that no compromise was necessa- ry, or would be successful. He also insisted that there was no danger whatever of a dissolution of the Union, or any revolution. The revolution beginning in a Congressional excitement would not disturb the Union. This government bad endured sixty years, and the crime of treason was unknown. When it should be exhibited, the people would rise and prevent it. The equilibrium of this go. vernment was to be between the East and the West—not between the North and South.— The ominous line ot dissolution was between the West and East. He considered the consequences of dissolu. tion to the South—civil war—and the over- whelming power of the army and navy. When Mr. Seward concluded, Mr. Webster rose and requested the resolution, forthe ad. mission of Texas, to be reported by all the gen. Hlemen of the press, to-wit’: —that all that part of Texas south of 36 30 shall be divided into not more than four States, which, at several times, shuuld, with the assent of ‘Texas, be admitted into the Union. Mr. Hale asked the gentleman from Massa- chusetts a question as a lawyer. Was this compact, made with a fureign state by Con- gress, binding ? Mr. Webster.—Yes. The Constitution al. lows of the admission of new states: and this clause contemplated the admission of Canada. Mr. Hale.—I am fully answered. Mr. Berrien corrected some statement of a historical fact made hy Mr. Seward. Mr. Seward explained. Mr. Foote gave notice that he should to. morrow urge his motion for a committee of thirteen to ascertain whether a plan of adjust. ment can be got, The sulyect of the California message was postponed till Wednesday. Mr. Douglas took the floor fur the day. The Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. A motion to suspend the rules to take up and print resolutions of the Legislature of N. York was rejected. The House then went into com. mittee of the whole, and Mr. Stanton of Ken. tucky concluded his argument in behalf of the common right of all the states to the new ter. ritory, and replied to Horace Mann respecting the social condition of southern slaves. Mr. Fowler followed, and asserted boldly his determination to vote for the application of the Wilmot Proviso to all the territory of the Uni. ted States. Mr. Gorman then obtained the floor and the House adjourned. Wasnineton, March 12, 1850. SENATE. Afier petitions, and some important business, Mr. Foote moved that Mr. Bell’s resolutions be taken up, with a view to move their refer. ence to a committee of 13, constituted by se. lecting 6 from the south and 6 from the North, and the election by these twelve of a thirteenth member, Mr. Baldwin opposed the motion, and went into the merits of the general question. He was called to order and took his seat. Some conversation occurred between Mr. Hale and Mr. Foote as to the construction of the committee; and Mr. Foote explained that the names were not designated. The motion to take up was agreed to by the following vote : Yras— Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Bell, Berrien, Bradbury, Cass, Clay, Clemens, Davis, of Mississippi, Dawson, Dickinson, Dodge, of Iowa, Downs, Foote, Hunter, Jones, King, Mangum, Mason, Morton, Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Storgeon—24, Nays—Mesers.

Mr. Foote then offered the resolution to refer to a se- lect committee, constituted as above mentioned. The chair deemed one part of it out of order—the de- signation of motions. Mr. Foote modified the resolution to avoid the objec- tion. Mr. Berrien opposed the objection of the chair. Mr. Clay hoped the modification would be adhered to by the mover. Although he had doubts whether the committee would agree upon any plan which would suc- | ceed in the Senate, yet every ofkert ought to be made, | day and night, to bring about a plan of accommodation. Mr. Butler hoped that the reference would not ob- struct the discussion. Mr. Foote said it would not. Mr. Cass rose to speak, and the subject was postpon- ed till to-morrow. The Senate resumed the consideration resolutions. Mr. Turney addressed the Senate in defence of the rights of the Sou h. He vindicated the course of the South in regard to the Southern address, and the pro- posed Southern Convention, to be held at Nashville.— Both of these were conservative measures, and they aimed at the preservation of the Union. The Union whieh the coustitution established was the only one worth preserving. If the North continued their aggres- sions, resistance wvald follow, and resistance, he con- tended, was disunion. It was true the South was not entirely unanimous, and those in the south who held back, were worse than their northern opponents:—they were neither true to the Constitution nor to the Union. They might be true to themselves, if their object was disunion. The northern anti-slavery rr as represented in the speech of the senator from New York, (Mr. Seward,) yesterday, were, as he argued, disunionisis. The doe- trines of the party, as he proceeded to show, were sub- versive of the cunstitution. After executive session, the Senate adjourned.

Dear Sir: I invite your serious consid- | eration, and that of your worthy constitu- | | ents, in the North Counties, to the Edito- i rial Article, and the Certificate of Capt. James A. Creighton, in the Raleigh Star) of 20th Feb., 1850. We respectfully suggest to the Conven- tion which is to meet at Plymouth, on the 14th March, that a better plan of Improve- ment than the attempt, probably fruitless, | of opening an inlet at Nag’s Head, will be | to unite with the citizens of Cartaret County, in a memorial to Congress, to make a boating channel of ten feet water, in the Harbor of Core sound between Harbour Island, and Harker’s Island. This work was surveyed carefully, and the proper estimates made by Col. Kear- ney, of U. S. Top. Engineers, in the year 1837. An appropriation was made, and two Dredge Boats constructed, and em- ployed until the appropriation was exhaus.. ted. It is said that a further appropria- fion for completing the work, was defea.- ted by C. C. Cambreling, a native of New- bern, then a member of Congress from New York. I have recently conversed with E. Whitehurst, sen’r., Captain of one of these Dredge boats ; he informs me that the places he dredged out, stand as he left thern—so that no doubt of the per- manence of this work can exist. The stock for the construction of the great Central Railroad, from Goldsboro’ to Charlotte, has been taken, that no doubt of its speedy construction can now exist. The extension of this Railroad from Sal- isbury to Knoxville is certain. Our West- ern friends will take care of that part of the lire. Now we invite gentlemen in the East- ern counties to join us in building the road from the town of Beaufort to Golds: boro’, and the whole line will be perfectly secure. The work can be carried on up- on the whole line, from Beaufort to Knox ville, at the same time, so that when a train of cars start at Knoxville, they will reach Beaufort in eighteen hours, where the produce of the Great West, can be shipped to all parts of the world,—- in vessels of a thousand tons, or more.— The loftiest spirit of patriotism—of State | pride—and of commercial independence —all prompt with resistless energy, to the completion of this great work. On or before the A. D. 1860, you will have @ greater commercial Emporium, at Beaufort, than Charleston, where you will get as much for your produce, as you could at Norfolk, Baltimore or New York. You would have no Dismal Swamp Ca. nal tolls to pay—no insurance—all this money would remain in your pockets.— Lines of steamers, and sailing Packets to Liverpool, Havre, London, and other Eu- ropean ports, would carry out your pro- duce, and bring you in return all the re- quired Merchandize of Europe. This com. mereial Emporium, like the heart, in the human system, would receive and return, millions of wealth, to all parts of North Carolina. Our Merchant Princes would have their splendid Palaces at this great sea port, one of the healthiest in the Union. Manufuctures, the Mechanic Arts, and Literature, would flourish, and the “Old North State” be placed on a proud emi- nence. among the most flourishing States of this great Republic. Ihave alluded to your saving in the item of insurance. Vessels sailing out of the port of Beaufort, can be insured in the city of New York, at from 40 to 50 per cent—per annum lower than vessels sail- ing from the port of Ocracoke. Your coasting vessels, from the North counties, trading to Wilmington, and | Charleston, after Col. Kearney’s improve. | ment is made, will have no detention. I will now state distances, as measured | on a map of 1849 from Beaufort to Knox- | ville. An actual line of road will vary a_ little. They are sufficiently correct for the present argument. From Beaufort to Goldsboro’ about 87 miles “ Goldsboro’ to Paleigh as 55 « “Raleigh to Salisbury “ 105 « “Salisbury to Asheville “ 125 « “Asheville to Knoxville es 80 « This Grand Central Railroad, at $8,000 | per mile, will only cost 83.616,000 dollars. It would as soon as completed, increase | the value of real estate, on the line—and for twenty miles on each side of the road, more than sixty millions of dollars. So that it can be mathematically demon. strated, that this Great Central Railroad, will cost the people of North Carolina Fif.- ty Millions of Dollars less than nothing. “We are sure we are right,” so let us go ahead like a Locomotive. I am aubtorized to state that if the Eas- tern terminus of the rail road is at Beau- fort. the citizens of this town, and vicinity, will subscribe one hundred thousand dol- lars towards its construction, between Beaufort and Goldsboro’.

She Calhoun's Speech.—I\ngenious as Mr. Cal. houn is, he has said too much in his jate speech. If you admit his positions and the force of his arguments, you admit also that the Union must he dissolved hy the mere force of circumstances. In looking forward to what he is pleased to con. sider unavoidable consequences, he dieclosed too plainly his wishes if not his purposes. He is sectional, and only sectional in his views ;— we regret to believe, and the conviction is for. ced upon us by his own arguments, that he has no heart for the whole country. And this man is the master spirit of the Nashville Convention movement. The prin. cipal preparitory step in that measure was ta. ken in the Southern Address, from hia hand, a litle over a year ago. He has done more than any other man to “prepare the hearts of the people” for this thing, and his counsels are to give sbape tc the proceedings of the expected convocation. We can form no other conclusion from the whole circumstances and indications of the question before the country. We regret that we cannot now make room for Mr. C.’s speech so that our readers might have full opportunity to judge of it for themselves. His positions, however, were given in an ab- stract last week. The Washington Republic says : “We consider the speech of Mr. Calhoun a manifesto of disunion, by prescribing impracti- cable and impossible conditions for the salva. tion of the Union. It takes the ground, sub. stantially, that, if California is admitted into the Union, it will present 4 case for resistance. — This is the only tangible and practicable prop. osition in the whole speech. Whatever doubt may have hitherto been en. lertained upon the question, no one can read this speech without coming to the conclusion that Mr. Calhoun has wrought himself into the conviction that the dissolution of the Union is the only remedy for existing evils. ‘That it will seperate him from thousands of well-intentioned and patriotic citizens, both at the North and at the South, who hitherto looked up to him as a safe pclitical guide and adviser, we cannot doubt. It is fortunate for the country that Mr. Calhoun has thus unmasked his motives and objects ; for, as a professed disunionist, he will be henceforth shorn of his powers and opportu- nities of mischeif.” INTETESTING CORRESPONDENCE— FLORIDA AND THE NASHVLILE CONVENTION. We find in the Tallahassee Sentinel an in. teresting correspondence between the Senators and Representives in Congress of Florida and the Governor of the State, on the peculiar lop. ic of the day. ‘Phe joint letter of Messrs. Yu. lee, Morton and Cabell, is dated the 6th of Febrnary ; the reply of Governor Brown on the 22nd. ‘The following is a synopsis : The first calls upon the Executive to devise a mode of proceeding by which the will of the commonwealth can be carried out, as it was expressed in a series of resolutions alledged to bave been unanimously * enacted” by the Gen. eral Assembly of the State at ite Jast session, contemplating the appointment of delegates to the Nashville Convention. It expresses, more. over, the opinion of the writers that no effectu- al or enduring check upon the “ aggressive and injurious tendency in the action of the federal government can or wiil be applied by any of the departments which administer its power.”’ The reply of Governor Thomas Brown is calm quiet and argumentative. It ignores the existence of any power or authority in the wri- ter as the chief magistrate to take any official step to cause the appointment of delegates to the proposed Nashville Convention. It con. demns the convention as revolutionary in its tendency, and against the spirit of the constitu. tion ; and it intimates that if the Federal Go vernment ia of the fashion that his correspon. dents seem to think, there is not much wisdom or consistency in seeking to save it by means of a Southern convention. It concludes with an admonition to his correspondents, that when they have discharged their whole duty in re. sisting unconstitutional aggressions within their sphere as Senators and Representatives, then they can return to their constituents with a clear conscience assured that the honor, liberty and welfure of the State have been properly de. fended, and leave to the people and to the State Legislatures of the South, under God to devise the rightful remedy. THE VOICE OF KENTUCKY. Frankrort, Fesruary 27, 1850. Last evening the Senate of Kentucky put its seal of condemnation apon the proposed Nashville Convention by a most decisive vote.

Speed Smith moved to lay the resolutions and amendments upon the table. On this motion the yeas and nays Thus by the overwhelming majority of almost three to one, the Senate has said that it has nosympathy with and will give no countenance to this sectional Conven.- tion.

Next Governor.—We think it is fairly to be inferred from the tone of 4 majority of the Whig presses in the State. that Go- vernor Manty is to be run for re-election. Some of these presses, whilst they have not hesitated to censure their cotempora- ries for speaking of other persons by them deemed more worthy of the honorable place, have themselves felt called apon to advocate the claims of the present incum- bent for re-election on the ground of usoge. We objected to this as being no argument in favor of Gov. Manty; and feeling impressed by public sentiment in our midst, and as manifested in other sec- tions, that he would be an unpopular can- didate, we have indicated our opposition to his being run for a second term. The same reason, so far as we can hear and and see, continues to appeal to us in be- from the danger of linking our fortune with his. But though this is the case with a very different state of things in other portions of the State: The Whigs of the East and Centre. and a part of the West, have given expression of their satisfaction with Gov. M., and in some cases have pledged themselves to his support, if re- nominated. We rejoice at one thing, and that is, that ihe division amongst us as a party, on this sobject, has not yet assumed a bit- ter, factious character. The Whig cause, dear to us all, and to which we are all pledged, is of infinite value; and we be- lieve there are none who will not rea dily sacrifice personal partialities, and considerations of lesser importance, to secure its success. We trust therefore, that all will consid- er of this, and mentally at least, resolve to do their duty as Whigs, when the time for action shall arrive. Our principles are as valuable now as they ever were. Nay, more. Look around and see who it is that is advocating a policy, the success of which must obliterate from the list of Nations, the fairest, purest and most glorious Government on earth! The Whig party love the Constitution under which all our peculiarly exalted liberties are guarantied to us. It isa boon from our fathers—a relic as precious as life it- self It behooves them, therefore, to look higher for motives of action than will be found in those causes calculated to di- vide the party on the subject of a Gov- ernor. We must elect a Whig Governor, and we must stand by our principles as Whigs, as firm as the eternal hills. The times require it—our all requires it. half of the Whig cause, and to warn us us in this seetion, we find the existence of id GP" The “ Payetteville Carolin; forgetting. ‘for once, the ties of party be the following independent language, tive to Speaker Cobb's appointme Committees : nm « We say that Mr. Cobb is Dot at justifiable for appointing 1h have made their fanaticim een ‘ Y, country, upon the committees he har the them upon, and where they desired , Prt We know they had the presumpiic demand a recognition of their on te laims they have never heretofore pee but nized; and have no more right to be e nized, than would the claim of aq sit at his master’s table.

And so, too, are other papers now published in the State, destined to g0; or else to drag out a sort of misera- ble existence between life and death,— crippled, maimed, and starving—whilst our people strangely neglect them and contribute to the support of Northern jour- nals, which regale them weekly, with ro- mances and sickly sentimentality, or hor- rify them with deeds of atrocity—as mur- Democratic Meeting in Salisbury.—A few of the Democratic people of Rowan held a meeting in this place, on the 9th instant, appointed delegates to the State Convention to nominate a candidate for Governor; and also passed a resolation recommending Davw S. Rein. as a suitable candidate for the place. The meeting was addressed by Robert E. Love, Esgq., and Capt. John U. Vogler. This was rather a feeble demonstration, but we warn the Whigs to be on the alert. There is no doubt but we will have enough to do in quieting dissentions among our- selves, and electing our Standard-bearer, whoever he may be. We know it can be done, but the Whigs must present an un- divided front. It is pretty generally admitted that the | position of Mr. Calhoun is entirely too ul- tra for the South. Hissouthern colleagues | in Congress broke ground with him, and if | we know any thing of the feelings of the Southern People, they too, will abandon him. Mr. C. is willing to submit to no compromise whatever. On the contrary he now demands an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, with a provision to enable the South to “ protect herself.” What this means is conjectural. ders, suicides, and roguery—detailed to the extent of many long columns, and dwelt upon with an interest entirely unpro- portioned to the value or utility of the sub: jects. Of course the people have the right, and should exercise it, of choosing their own papers. But we do object, under existing circumstances, that they should tell us, of the South, “ your papers are not as large, and yet cost more than those we can get atthe North.” We object to it because the publisher at the South is not at fault in the matter. He freely expends every dime he can spare to increase the beauty and interest of his paper. But his labors are not appreciated. His dimes are too few. He can’t make a raise sufficiently large to get up a mammoth sheet, at one or two dollars, peryear ; and is, therefore, considered exhorbitant; and only fit to per- ish. There is no man in North Carolina who has made a fortune by publishing a paper; and until the public mind in the South comes to a proper sense on this sab- ject, we do not believe that any one will ever more than realize a bare subsist: ence.

Distressing Casualty.—We learn from the Montgomery (Ala.) Atlas, that four persons were drowned on the 11th inst., in a small creek near Allenton, Wilcox Co., in that state. The discovery of the bodies is thus described in a letter received by the editor of the Atlas: Two liule dogs were seen standing upon the edge of the water, howling most piteously. As soon as they perceived the gentlemen from whom we learn the circumstances, they would swim into the Creek, snuff the water and swim out again, look into the faces of the gentlemen and commence howling; this, it is affirmed, they repeated several times. The gentlemen immediately procured assistance, dragging the | Creek and found the bodies ofa gentleman and _ lady seated in a buggy, a young lad and a negro | man lying side by side. A horse was attach. ed to the buggy, and a little dog in the lady’s _lap. ‘They were burried last Saturday. | The names of the persons drowned are not | given. ‘The editor supposes they were stran. gers in the neighborhood. actually on the point of fighting c duel a few days ago, when President Taylor and Col.

The editor of the Aurora, a paper published in Wil- mington, in speaking of the friends of the Union in the South, uses this language : “ We tell these submission- ists to beware, or they may find the same fate with the submissionists of the Revolution, and be hung with a good Southern-slave-soil grape vine.” In reply to this audacious and infamous threat, we say to this Red Re- publican, that it will be prudent for him to keep himeelf, with his “ grape vine” safely ensconced in the fens of New Hanover. The hardy yeomanry of the West, if need be, will teach him, and such as he, a lesson which will long be remembered: They have not yet begun to “calculate the value of the Union” ; but when they do begin, they will let the aristocrats and nabobs of South Carolina, and their coadjutors elsewhere, know, that they are not the South, but a very small minority of the People of the South. And this same People will stand by the Constitution and the Union, and permit neither to be trampled on, either by the disunionists of the North, or the disunionists of the South. We tell that editor and his leaders, in sober earnestness, that this is what the People will do ; and that they are to be consulted before the unbappy victims of a disappointed and un- chastened ambition will be permitted to dissolve this Union. In conclusion, Messrs.

But among the numerous objecis which share the attention of parents, education is rarely found ; and the plan of instruction never, perhaps, receives one sound, sober thought. Upon this subject much might be said : in this place, however, I shall honestly notice a few of the many points to which parents should be more atten- tive. All parents who desire to place their children at school, should propose the following questions to them- selves before they select a teacher: 1. Has the teacher himself that knowledge which we desire our children should acquire ? 2. Has the teacher the faculty of communicating his own knowledge to others—and especially to children ? 3. Does the teacher instruct because he likes to teach, or because he can get nothing else to do? 4. Has the teacher talents to make just rules, and judgment to apply them in such a manner as will pro- duce that order in his school which facilitates the pro- gress of his pupils? 5. Can the teacher speak the English language with propriety ? Much importance shou!d be attached to the teachers skill in his own language. The instructor who is with- out a critical acquaintance with the English language, is without that knowledge which every child should ac- quire at school. It is hoped that the time will soon come, when no one will be encouraged as a teacher of American youth, who does not even in his daily conver- sation, speak the English language with propriety. — Every teacher should articulate distinctly, and pronounce according to the sanctioned standard of orthography.— He shculd select his words by the rules of rhetoric, and form them into sentences by the laws of grammar. As the teacher of youth sets examples in speech, which his pupils will generally follow, how important it becomes to encourage such persons only, as speak, and write the language with grammatical precision, and rhetorical pu- rity.” The writer of the above says “ for the good of children, I would ask parents to give these remarks a hearty con- sideration.” J. Brown’s Appeal, pp. 92,93. COUNCIL OF STATE.

He has not been heard from since between the 25th of De- cember and the Ist January. I have no doubt but he has been enticed away by some ill designed white per- son, and perhaps has in his possession papers purporting to be a free man, as a similar attempt has been made in behalf of his brother whom I have lately caught. The above reward will be paid upon his being arrest- ed and lodged in jail, and with proof sufficient to con- viction of his being taken or enticed away by any white person, or Fifty Dellars without such proof, if lodged in jail so that I get him. Description.—Hampton is about 28 years of age, stout and heavy made, weighing about 170 Ibs; brown or deep copper color, about 5 feet 8 inches high, round faced, lips rather thick, has an impediment in his speech, especially when a little confused, (perhaps more of a stammering than otherwise.) He is bow legged and in his walk he throws out one foot a little more than the other, I think the right foot ; clothing in part he lost af- ter he left, as such I am at a loss to describe them. L. K.

S. Consul at Valparaiso. inflicted upon Mr. Sallivan, the British Charge d’ Affaires at Lima. From this testimony, it appears that the latter carried bis:inso- lence and brutality so far as to invade the sanctity of Mrs. Potter’s private apart- meots and expel her by force. When the facts were communicated to Mr. Potter, he inmmediately determined to punish the offender in a manner that would be use- ful and instructive. With this intention. he provided himself with a cane, and met Sullivan, who-is a much larger person, and was also armed with a stick, in the hall where the scene occurred. After the | flogging was satisfactorily administered. | “Mr. Potter, was about withdrawing. when | Mr. Sullivan let three. French servants upon him to take vengeance. At this mo- ment, Mr. Potter drew arevolver with an admonition that the first who approached would receive a portion of its contents, and they retreated like prudent men. On the next day. a British Man of War ar- rived at Callao, seven miles~ distant from Lima, and in two hours afterwards the resignation of Sullivan as Charge d’ Af- foires, was communicated. to the Admiral | It is not known whether the | on board. | British Officer required this concession to | protect the honor of his Aag, which had | been outraged by the eonduct of one who was so much obligated to protect it, or | or whether Sullivan, realizing his own | degradation. found it convenient to retire, | without inflicting additional disgrace on | his Government.

[Correspondence of the Baltimore San ] WASHINGTON, MARGH 2. | Surgeon General Lawson thus reports to the Départ- | ment: ‘* Number of officers and men remaining sick on the 30th June, 1848, was 999 ; number of cases of dis- ense during the succeeding year 28,013; making an ag: | gregate of 29,012 cases of indisposition that have been | under medical treatment during the year ending 30th June, 1849 ; of the whole number of sick reported, 26,- 349 have been restored to duty; 23 on furlough; 702 have been discharged from the service; 44 deserted ; | and 730 have died, leaving on the 30th of June 695 still | on the sick report “ Mean strength of the army for the past year, accord- ing to reports, 9,148, and the number of cases of indis- position reported being 28,013, it will be perceived that the proportion of cnses of disease to the number of offi- ters and enlisted men in the service was 3,06 to 1; or that, on an average, each man was sick aboat three | tines during the year; that the ratio of deaths to the | number of inen was.one to 12 46, or 02 per cent; and the proportion of deaths to the number of cases under | treatment a8 one to 39 52,-or 252 per cent. Several | circuinstances contribated to the unusual mortality in the | army, the principal of which were the prevalence of the epidemic cholera and of yellow fever at a number of military posts and stations of the country. Wf. cholera there were 616 cases and 307 deaths, and of yellow. fe- ver there were 135 cases and S2deaths. Far the great- est number of cases were dysenteries and diarrhea, the sources of which may be traced to the toils and expos- ures of men while serving in camp and in the field dur- | ing the war with Mexico. Of diarrhea and chronic | dysentery alone there were 7,288 cases; and of these | 160 terminated fatally.” FIRST TOWNS IN AMERICA. The National Intelligencer relates the following curi- ous facts, will be news to many of our readers: “ Tt will seem curious to those who are not aware of the fact, that the first towns built by Europeans upon the American continent, were St. Augustine, in Bast Florida, and Santa Fe, the Capital of New Mexico.— The river Gila was explored before the Mississippi was known, and gold was sought in California long ere the first white man had endeavored to find a home on the shores of New England. There are, doubtless, trees standing within the fallen buildings of ancient Panama, that had commenced to grow when the sides of Boston and New York were covered with the primeval wilder- ness.” We learn that on Saturday last, at three -o’clock, P. M., M. Bourbullon, appointed by the French government Charge d' Affairs ad interim to this republic until the ar- rival of the newly appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Ministry Plenipotentiary, M. Bois le Comte, presented his credentials to the Secretary of State. The Envoy and Minister is detained by dangerods illness of his fa- ther. We also understand that another new minister, Mr. Henri Bosch Spencer, Charge d’Affairs of his Majesty the King of the Belgians, presented himself for reception at the Department of State, and that he will probably be received to-day. The number of foreign countries now represented at Washington by plenipotentiaries and ministers of various grades is greater than at any former period ; and we may reasonably expect that this number will continue to inerease with the increasing population and resources of our country.— Washington Republic, 4th inst.

We do not except from this category the pretended Free-Soil movement of the friends of Mr. Vao | | Buren in 1848,, which so largely diminished the vote of General Cass in the State of New York. In that arrangement the Abolitiouists were first duped, and then swallowed up by the superior adroitness of the Locofucos, acting | from personal irritation and revenge. Against | General Cass alone, the Abolitionists throwing | their votes away, as usual, General Taylor would have carried the State by twenty thou- sand majority. ‘There is then no exception to the geveral fact, that the Locofocos, and not the Whigs, have ever profitted by the action of the Abolitionists.

The election of Mr. Polk produced the war with | | its doctrines, he could net aly himself to any | | that party, and though he could not swallow all |other.

Such is an exhibition of southern and north. ern locofocoism, raising a storm in the late Pre- sidential contest, fur political chicane, eadan- gering the Union, and now clawing each ether like catamounts amid the howling of their ows infernal storm. ‘The Lord deliver the country from such politicians.

Dr. Gilbert does not rely upon his own certificates, even the certificates of unknown persons, but he has a fashion of subjecting all who desire to witness his skill, to the test, (not. always an agreeable one.) of personal ob- servation.

Sewaid uf New York, ia the speech de- livered by bim in the Senate of the U, States some Jays ago, exhibited much aubtiety of.atind with the tendency to what might he called spe- cial pleading. “1h may show great ingenuity aad tact in an advocate, having certain points to maintain, to keep back other points, or weak- | » hit en their force, while he invests his own with an | pacts of the constitution.

It is familiarly koown to the whole cme? | that a provision for the future formation of aew | states in the territory which Texas brought in. | to the Union exists in the resolution of annexa- | tion. The third clause of the second section of | that resolution is in these words : “ New states of convenient size, not exceed. | ing four in number, in addition to said state of | Texas, and having sufficient population, may | hereafier hy the consent of said state, be formed | out of the territory thereof, which shail be enti- tled to admission under the provision of the fed. | eral constitution. And such states as may be | ormed out of that portion of territory lying south | of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes north lati-— tude, commonly known as the Missouri compro- | mise line, shal] be admitied into the Union with or without slavery, as the peuple of each state asking admission may desire ; and in such state | or states as shal] be formed out of said territory | gorth of said Missouri line, slavery or involun. | tary servilude (except for crime) shall be pro. hibited.” The meaning of this language seems plain | enough. ‘The stipulation which it sets forth is specific, wel] defined and without ambiguity. | There are two things provided for—First, that new states of convenient size, not exceeding four in number, in addition tu the state of Tex- as, may hereafier by consent uf said state, be formed out of its territory with the privilege of admission into the Union ; secondly, that in the territory thus to be hereafier admitted as states there shall be no restriction on the subject of | slavery, south of the line of thirty-six degrees | and thirty minutes, and no slavery north of that | line. These_provisions, we repeat, are clearly de. | fined. The acceptance by ‘l'exas of the reso. | lation embodying them made a compact, the va. lidity of which will hardly be impaired while respect fur good faith prevails in the national councils.

Reflecting the sentiment of the | people—and it is within our province to attempt no more—we tell gentlemen dis- unionists, every where, that they are odi- ous—they are the stench of the land— workers of evil—angels of darkness ; and that they literally “can’t come it,” in the way they propose. Central Influence, or Ruleigh Clique !—_ What is this of which we hear so much, | of late, from Raleigh 1 Almost every pa-— per from there, comes with a long article bearing the above or some similar cap- tion. We must confess we are in the dark up here—our own fault, doubtless ; having paid little attention to the long ed- itorials alluded to. Who has accused our Raleigh friends of entertaining a purpose. or a wish, to impose apon the party? If: any thing has fallen from us (and we think there is nothing.) that could by any possi. ble construction look that way, we now distinctly assure them that nothing of the _ kind was intended. We think our Ral- eigh folk are entirely too sensitive on this point. We think they talk too much about it. They put words into the moaths of | those who will gladly use them to their | injury, and against the interest of the | Whigs. | So far as our intercourse with the peo- | ple of Rowan has enabled us to judge, there is no prejudice among them against | the Whigs of Raleigh. Weare not afraid | of them because they live in the great. city—we do not distrust them. We be- | lieve they are sound Whigs, and no more ; Neither is there a wish here to subdue them—mortify the m—or disappoint them, in any rightful claim or expectation. And we repeat, we think they talk too much about themselves, and take too much pains to show that the East and the West are opposed to them. We know no bet- ter plan to produce a prejudice against against others of entertaining it. Perhaps the chief cause of all this talk aboot the “Raleigh clique’—who are voling then commenced ; and those for one side of the house, and those in favor of the minority report against the Con- vention, took the other side, “ when the latter were in su decided a majority: that the others caved in quite gracefully, and the meeting adjourned.” We should like to see the vote of all the Southern States taken on the question of the Nashville Convention. We think it would make eertain hot gentlemen open their eyes.

We learn from a friend at Jonesville, ' Sarry county, that the Rev. Mr. Pearce, agent of the Grand Division, of the Sons of Temperance of this State, has estab- lished a Division in that place, and that it bids fair to do much good towards stay- ing the ravages of intemperance. in that | part of the State. We are pleased to learn also, that it has found many sup. | porters among the students of the Male. Academy under the care of Mr. W. L. Van Eaton. No fitter place for a com- mencement could have been chosen. Let the young be trained up to sober habits, ‘and the object now so near the hearts of every Son of Temperance will soon be accomplished. RAIL ROAD MEETING IN DAVIE. On Tuesday last a very animated af- fair transpired at Mocksville on the sub. ject of the Rail Road. Joan A.

We omit all | comment; they speak for themselves. The | delegates appuinted are as nearto our heart as | any gentlemen in North Carolina, and at the Nashville Convention will talk owt the senti- ments of the State. The resolutions are weak, but they were the best that could be gotten through. ‘I'he real fact is, there were two'par. ties in the Convention, as there is every where; one fer bold actton, the other for slumber. We regret extremely to learn that Gov. Dudley, James J. McKay, Dr. F. J. Hill, and others of less note, have made efforts to arrest the pro- ceedings of primary assemblies. They are beaten. For all these gentlemen we entertain a high reepect, but when they dare to pot them: selves between the South and her rights, we fee! it an incumbent duty to exhibit them. We will spare no man who steps between us and _the consequences we pursue. We wish to pre- _ serve the Union, if it can be done on honora. ble terms, nothing more, nothing less. The best way to preserve it is the Nashville Con- vention. If it cannot preserve the Union, it can preserve the South. Our private advices from Washington express the opinion, that the Union can be saved by Mr. Webster. If any person can, he can, but “ shadows, clouds and darkness rest upon it.” We have so ofien de- livered our views, so piled precept upon pre- cept, that no further expression is necessary from us. Nevertheless, we feel it our contin. ved duty, to rouse all the brave hearts of the State ; because with a sort of political clair- voyance, we think we see a bad time coming. The only human hope is to prevent all surpriz- es, and the true policy is to surprize them.— Enough said on that point. ‘The Convention is now adjourned, and for whatever harshness- es our unregulated temper may have betrayed | us into, we make this public apology. We _ Saw, or we thought we saw at one time a dis- position to tremble ; and upon that hint we act- ed. We deemed it necessary to ask the Dele- gates what they came here for? and to rouse the genuine feeling of the Convention. It so turned out. We will only add that there was | Bot one feeling of bitterness in any thing we said. ‘To Mr. leaac Wright of Bicden, and to Mr. James Banks, of Fayetteville, we tender our respectful courtesies.

His business called him much to Washington, where be be. came Pe ese with the daughter of Hon. Thomas H. Beuton. Young, vivacious, and ambitious, this stripling ia. epauletis had ‘the temerity to ask the young lady’s hand in mare riage—notwithstanding he knew those much higher in authority had solicited the game in vain. Miss Benton most readily consented 80 far as she was concerned, but intimated that she had a Father who had manifested some degree of interest in ber welfare, and migh want to be consulted in the matter. She lai the “ proposal” befure the old gentleman. He objected to the proposition in toto. “ His daugh. ter, educated fur a Prince, was not going to marry a Corporal.” Fremont was forbidden | to enter his domicil, and Miss Benton was put under guard. “ Old Tom” had overacted the matter. He did not then know the young Lieu. tenant. His daughter, too, took that occasion to show her Benton, and as “Old Tom” had stuck to the “ Expunging Resolution,” she was ! bound to stick to her young lover against all the world. The next thing the anxious father | knew of his once devoted daughter, she had | escaped her keepers, and in a private parlog at _Gadsby’s Hotel was interchanging vows be. | fore a magistrate with the banished Lieuten.- ant. | At first the old man raged, but soon was | made acquainted with the metal of his new son-in-law, a reconciliation took place, and in | Old ‘Tom, Colonel Fremont has not only had a friend, but an admirer ever since. | His travels, researches, scientific explora- | tions and feats of valor and suffering in the Far | West, are events known to the world, and we _ May say without a parallel, His collision with Kearney in California ' brought him befure the country in a new light. | He was accused of disobeying the command of | bis superior and technically was so convicted | on trial by a Court Martial demanded by bim. self. But the country acquitted him, and al. though reprimanded by the President, he was _ applauded by the people. We were present at | his trial in Washington, and saw him confront | the witnesses for the Government in the most | frank and gallant style. “Old Tom” sat by | him as counsel, and ‘solitary and alone” he | encountered the craft of Kearney and the con. | tumely of a Naval.and Military Court, preju- | diced against the aspiring young Lieutenant, | then luxuriating with the rank of Colonel.— ' Dismissed from the army, he scorned to be re. instated, but he recommenced his explorations on his own account. He raised a company of men and started for California by a new rout with “ Kit Carson,” his famous old guide at their head. Ten of his men he lost in the mountains by being imbedded in snow and |it- erally starving and freezing to death. With the remnant he reached San Francisco, and has been spending the summer in the mines. In the mean time a Commission reached him superceding Col.

When the officers entered the house, the parties were seated at the fire, but upon a table, and scattered about the room, were dis- covered the implements used in coining, and a large amount of unfinished coin. — Upon searching the premises about $1800 in Bogus money was found, consisting mainly of half dollars and five franc pieces and the most extensive and complete set | of moulds, ladles, and acids the officers | say they ever saw.

Montalembert in the French Assembly, we translate the following remarkable passage : | Gentlemen, it is impossible to overlook the ‘fact we are moving towards anarchy. As un- der the Government of July we were marching _ towards revolution without being aware of it, so -under the republic we are marching towards anarchy, without all of us being aware of it, or | wishing to be aware of it. I recollect that, ia | the period which immediately followed the rev- _ olution of July, an eloquent voice, and one of those which once heard ia never forgotten— over | the voice of M. Laine—was heard one day in *w York and Erie railroad, one day | the chamber of peers, enunciating thie sen- | ‘tence: “ Kings are away!” And you _ know how this prediction was fulfilled. Well, | I say in sorrow, that, judging by the symptoms i which are now every where manifest, if M. | Laine were living, should again employ his | prophetic voice in denouncing our woes, he would say¢ France is passing away! mod. The prediction of M. Laine. says the Cour. rier des Etats. Unis, is verified; will that of | of M. Montalembert be also verified? ~ ad Rhee in Serry County,-on the 15th inet.,by the Ree. Pho.

When Death comes, and the men of the Earth depart to the unknown land, the hurrying-to-and-fro of restless life pauses a moment, to hear the record, and award the last praise for what they have done under the incite- ment of events, where the reward is ever meted to the effort :— when the pure womati passes away to her true home—she, whose influence is strong in gentieness to work good out of evil, and whose ministrations of watch- | fal love alone can bring peace to the weary, and the shadow of happiness over the blasted earth—the only | remembrance of her self-sacrificing devotion and faith- ' fal worth remain in the hearts of the few who have ‘known her. This is surely the most beautiful, if not the most endoring monument, that time can offer to departed virtue, but it is only just that the due tribute should as well be paid to her memory. The expres- sions of eulogy can never.remind those whe knew | such, of their character as it was daity illustrated in , the hard trials of life, and beautified with the virtues | Hot seen by the world.

When the sea- son of health made life joyous and the world bright, her attractive accomplishments, with sweetness of disposi- tion and gentle kindness of heart that outgushed con- tinually, were the suolight of her home.—How glad then was life !—but, when the dark hour approached the triumph appeared ; then, the christian graces out- shone the lights of life, and in the midst of wasting dis- , ease, cast their glorious fragrance and heavenly bright- | ness about the bed of patient long-suffering—and at the ; last, the calm soul-with confident faith departed, peace- | fully from the * body of this humiliation,” to the heri- tage of rest—from the warfare of the Churclf militant, | to the glory of the Church Triumphant. It hath pleased the great Disposer of Events, in his wise Providence, thus to take away in the very Morn- ing of Life and in the midst of Happiness, the lovely and beloved.— What then can the desolate household do, but fall down in the dust under the grievous chastise- ment, and humbly say—*“ The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away ; bleased be the name of the Lord.” (CommunicaTen.

He has net been heard from since between the 25th of De- cember and the Ist January. I have no doubt but he has been entieed away by sume ill designed white per- son, and perhaps has in his possession papers purporting to be a free man, as a similar attempt has been made in behalf of his brother whom I have lately caught.

Description.—Hampton is about 28 years of age, stout and heavy made, weighing about 170 Ibs; brown or deep copper color, about 5 feet 8 inches high, round faced, lipe rather thick, bas an impediment in his speech, especially when a little confused, (perhaps more of a stammering than otherwise.) He is bow legged and in his walk he throws out one foot a iittle more than the other, I think the right foot ; clothing in part he lost af- ter he left, as such I am at a loss to describe them. de 2 L.

Espreatep Vatue or Urine as a Manvac.—Profes- gor Rodgers, in his excellent work on “ Scientific Agri- culture ,” has the following estimate of the value of urine as-a manure, which we believe to be a very near approxi- | mation to thé truth: Hwe allow the quantity of urine voided by each in- | dividual to be 600 pounds yearly, the city of Rochester aahich contains 26,000 inhabitants, would furnish year- | Vy.ebout 240 tons. This estimate, at the price of gua- | we, would be worth 21,600. Now, if we estimate the ef horses and cows of the city to be 500 each . pad that each anima) voids as much urine as two per- | mt-weuld be 80,000 pounds, or 40 tons, 1600. Here then is a loas, if eons, which would be warth we reckon guano at 840 per ton, of $23,200, or of ma Mere enough to produce, in addition to the ordinary crop, over 16,000 bushels of wheat in a single year. . economic Maxacement or Unine.—Decomposition is attended with a diminution of urea, and an increase of It is impertant that the urine gollected , ammonia. should be fermented in tight!y-covered cisterns, to pre vent the eseape of volatile matters; it has been propos ed to add gypsum, sulphate of iron, or sulphuric acid; to— “the fermenting urine, in order to fix the ainmmonia; the mixture of vegetable mould with it hag been also recom mended ag equally effective und more economical.

Dissolve the Union! never; *T were e’en a madman’s part, The golden chain to sever, Which girdle’s Freedom’s heart. What! Faction rear her Altar, And discord wave her brand, And hearts from duty falter, At Party’s base demand ? Look up—’tis Freedom’s temple, You long to overthrow ; And if your arm’s uplifted, A demon prompts the bow. Think ! every radiant column, Has cost a Patriot’s blood, And would you have them shattered, Where long in pride they stood ? That flag—that honored pennon, Mirrored in every sea ; What, would you quench one beaming star, Nor sink in infamy ? Read it—and e’en its speechless fold, So mercilessly riven, Like martyred Abel’s blood would cry, For vengeance to the Heaven. Dissolve the Union: never— You may not, if you would, Go, Traitor, go forever, And hide you where you should: For he who breathee dissention, To shake a people’s trust, Should cower back to nothingness, Or crumble into dust. senamiteteec ccna From the Natchez Courier. THE NATCHEZ MEETING. A Mighty “ Rally for the Union.”—On Saturday last, 9th inst., by far the largest and most respectable assemblage ever convened in Natchez, met in the Court House at eleven o'clock. Unlike most public meetings the first summons of the bell was sufficient to fill the court room, and it seemed to us that every man ap- proached with an earnest solemnity de- picted upon his features indicative of the great fact that he had heard the Union of his beloved country threatened by rash and bitter demagogues, and felt compell- ed by the heavy responsibilities which he owed to himself, his country, to the world and the great cause of freedom every where, to come forward and administer a stern rebuke to that cold, unfeeling and falsehearted ambition that would fire the glorious temple of our liberties for the sake of an evanescent supremacy over a frag- ment, and of an infamous immortality. The call forthis great and solemn meet- ing was signed by three hundied and eigh- ty of the planters and citizens of Adam county and Natchez. The names to the call embraced the owners of from ten to hundreds, if not thousands of slaves, whose interests are all connected with the insti- tution which the constitution excludes.— They, if any of our citizens have interest in the subject, certainly have the deepest; they have one that outweighs the pecuni- ary number of citizens to be found in any county in the State, or perhaps in any other county in any other Southern State. In consequence of this deep and vital in- terest, the great and densely crowded meeting was composed of a numerous portion of our fellow citizens rarely or never seen in public gatherings. They came out, summoned by a voice more powerful than the trumpet voice of party. They came, as came the brave old fathers of the Republic, when they reared the mighty arch of self-government over the ruins of despotism and monarchy, every man feeling and acting asif he alone and single were called upon to sustain his_ country’s glorious institutions in their day | of peril. and stand by them the firmer and | the sterner the hurricane of passion blew, | and the louder the thunders of faction and | treason to the Union rolled in the lurid | political atmosphere. | The Union Meeting was organized by | s : = | the unanimous election of Dr. Stephen s : i rrett like | | : | NO DaGhRE RT eee ee = missing,” | Duncan as President, Messrs.

I mean I am indebted to him for a wife, as it was he who supplied me with -a hundred dollars, without which your father would have refused you to me.’ ‘Oh, how heartily [thank you!’ exclaimed father.’ é ‘But I robbed him,’ said the husband. He Agatha, because my honor is as dear as your Here, friend,” exclaimed he, placing a dollars; so now restore me my button, which ‘Yes here it is!’ exclaimed the Frenchman, even, except that [ owe you much, very much, for the constant hospitality you have shown ‘ Nay,’ replied the husband, ‘ it is to you that ave been in some sort a father to us all ; and Pedlars are sometimes generous.

The same pedlar had been engaged in many other little adventures, which he used to relate with that ease and naivette so characteristic of the French. We fell in with him just as he was about returning to Provence, where we dare say he still enjoys the property which be amassed with so much toil, honesty, and perseverance.

Bingaman was loudly called for, when he rose and addressed the meeting, amid much applause. Col. Bingaman commenced his speech hy deprecating party spirit, on an occa- sion so momentous and so fraught with peril to the glorious institutions of our country, achieved by the blood and con- solidated by the wisdom of our fathers.— Before entering the vestibule so holy and consecrated, the dust of party should be shaken from the shoes, and all present feel and act as if they belonged alone to the party of the whole country and of the Union. He alluded to the danger of mis- apprehension and misconstruction that prevailed in inflammatory and excited times, in which the words of a speaker might be twisted into meanings and de- signs the author never dreamed of, and instanced the ludicrous case from the Spectator in which the inquirer for St.Ann’s lane.in London got roundly abused by both Cavalier and Round-bead, and utter- ly failed in his attempts to shape the question to the taste of either party. Col. B. gave a brief summary of the privileges granted to the native population of Cali fornia by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidal- go, which constituted them bona A- merican citizens on condition of their res- dence, and argued that they had so sol- emn and undoubted right to admission, notwithstanding the slavery prohibition contained in their constitution, on the doc- trines laid down by the most eminent Statesmen, including Gen. Cass, of our country ; and that it was no way to se- cure Southern rights by perpetrating a wrong on California. Col. Bingaman deprecated the contem- plated Southern Convention at Nashville, and held out as a warning the unenviable fame of the Hartford Convention; and closed his speech by a magnificent and glowing picture of our national glory and renown acquired as common and joirt property, and all, all resulting from the union of the States now threatened with annihilation by a rampant spirit of disso- lution. John T. MceMurran, Esq., followed Col. Bingaman, and like the latter deprecated party spirit and advocated the adopting of the resolutions which had been offered to the meeting. He contended that no crisis had yet arrived which called for the action of a Convention of a part of the States of the Union; that no act of hos- tility had been offered to the South by the North which would justify the former to calculate the value and break down the terms of the Union ; that such crisis might arrive, but that it had not yet come; that as yet Congress had not presumed on its powers to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, or by the formal passage of the Wilmot Proviso in relation to all ter- ritorial acquisitions forever excluded it from all new territory acquired by the common treasure and blood of both free and slaveholding States; and that, as Southern slaveholders, however much we might desire that the institution should also prevail inthe new State of California, | yet inasmuch as we did not immigrate thither with such property and such opin- ions in sufficient numbers to secure a hear- ing and a voice in the matter, we were bound to admit California as she chooses | to present herself. Mr. McMurran said that when true and real causes for a dissolution of the Union | should have been given, if ever, the rem- edy would be taken out of the hands of demagogues and politicians ; the people in masses and in their solemn primal pre- | rogative, as in the assembly before him, would take the matter in hand. But it was of the most awful and momentous importance that the people should be) right, and the cause just, before they as- sumed such tremendous responsibilities. Let me, in case of such lamentable divi- | sion, said be, whether | come up a citizen of the United States North ; of the United States West; of the United States East ; of the United States Central; of the Uni- ted States Pacific ; have the consolation | ‘to know that the fragment of our once on which my fortunes and | glorious Union. happiness are embarked—vs in the right ! Mr. M. spoke with much solemnity and e found sensation in the minds of his audi- ence. A motion was made, which prevailed unanimously, that Gen. Robert Stanton e_ . | be heard in opposition to the resolutions. ° Gen. Stanton, after thanking the meeting for an indulgence he had not anticipated and had made no preparation for, procee- | ded to address the meeting in a warm, impassioned, if not argumentative and convincing style of eloquence. the ultra Southern view of the question, and if he failed in presenting the strong: est points, or in the order he presented them, we cannot in all candor, criticise his effort, as we doubt not the call upon him was as unexpected to the speaker as | the hearers.

Colonel Bingaman was loudly called for, and he to pleasantly responded by the remark that | the historians of antiquity asserted that Carthage was ruined by neglecting the counsels of the aged and experienced, and folowing those of rash and impetaous young men; and it appeared to him that his young friend Gen.

Mer. - was as warmly in favor of the south and her rights as any one, and could not tell what might be required of us in pro- tection of those rights; but he could not give his assent to the assertion of a prin- ciple which so totally contradicts the whole practice of our government, and the south itself, from the very formation of the Union down to the present day.— With every degree of respect for the hon- orable body from which the resolution emanated, he must say that it was most unfortunately and erroneously worded.— He could not but feel surprised that any one could find in this reassertion of a principle supported by somany precedents, so flagrant an insult tothe south, or so plain and palpable a violation of the constita- tion. as to justify revolution and civil war. Mr. Larue concluded by moving that the committee of the whole rise and ask leave tosit again ; at which time he would conclude his remarks. Sounp Views.—The Southern Conven. ttion.— We copy below, trom the corres- pondence of the New Orleans Crescent, a sketch of some remarks made by John C. Larue, Esq., of New Orleans, in the Lou- isiana Legislature, on the subject of the Southern Convention. Mr. Larue, as our readers are doubtless aware, is a leading Democrat in Louisiana, and one of the first men in point of talents in the State ; consequently, his opinions are calculated to exert great influence on public senti- ment in Louisiana. Under such circum. stances, We greatly rejoice to find him on the right side of the Southern Convention question. Wonder if the disunionists will throw uiM tnto the river !— Mobile Adv. The speech of Mr. Larue was deliver- ed in opposition to a rosolution reading aboot thus : “That it be recommended to the peo- ple of the several parishes throughout the State to send to the Nashville Convention the same numberof representatives which they are entitled to send to the State Le- gislature.” The Baton Rouge correspondent of the Crescent says: Mr. Larue contended that this resolu- tion, giving legislative sanction to the ap- pointment of delegates, was no less un- constitutional than the resolution as first presented to the Senate, making it the duty of the Governor to appoint delegates with the assent of the Senate. The con- stitution of the United States declares in express terms that no state shall enter in- to any league or confederacy with anoth- er state without the assent of Congress. If the people see fit to assemble sponta- neously in their primary capacity and send delegates, the Nashville Convention will but be an assemblage of the people, a mere meeting together of private individ. uals, representing no state sovereignty. and exercising a right secured to them by the constitution itself. But how is it. with this resolution? The delegates (if appointed at all) are appointed and com- missioned in the mode expressly pointed out by the Legislature. In this case the ‘recommendation, if carried out, is equiv- alent to anenactment. “ Lawisasolemn ‘expression of Legislative will.” In this "case the people are of course not compell- _ed to comply with the recommendation of the Legislature, but if they do so, it is carrying out the full force of the Legisla- tive will—it is making perfect what be- | fore was imperfect. It is performing an act to which Legislative sanction, the sanction of the State sovereignty has been given, and the delegates will proceed to Nashville, invested with the power not ‘only to represent the people, but the State, and approved of by the supreme power of the State. Suppose (for argument’s sake) there should be appended to this resolu- tion, a declaration that the state would in ‘no event consider herself bound by the action of the convention. Would not the ‘resolution and the proviso be most palpa- bly inconsistent? Would not one show the atter absurdity of the other? Would The Nashville Convention.—T wenty- eight members of the Mississippi Legisla- ture signed a written protest against the acts of the legislative convention in elect- ing members to the Nashville Convention, as novel, transcending their legislative duties, and “tending to subvert the dig- nity, harmony, perpetuity and prosperity of the United States of America.” The Natchez Courier, concurring in this view, expresses its earnest hope that no dele- gate belonging to the Whig party will ac- cept the station assigned to him, or con- sent to serve in the Nashville Convention, “at least antil regularly chosen by the people.” A very large meeting has been held at Raymond, Hinds county, Miss., in which it is declared that as it is evident that Congress will not now pass the Wil- mot proviso, the Nashville Convention ought to be abandoned. On the other hand. a large meeting has been held at Columbia, Tenn.. at which resolutions in favor of the convention were adopted, and the conduct of the Legisla- ture in relation to it was condemned. A meeting has been held at Memphis ap- proving the convention, and tendering the public buildings of the city should it be determined not to go to Nashville. The Legislature of Mississippi have also ten- dered the use of the Capitol at Jackson.— Legislature of Mississippi. who affect so much confidence inthe people, and who are ever so clamorous for the people’s rights, have far outstripped their brethren of Alabama in their assumption of power in the appointment of delegates to the Nashville Convention. They were not content to appoint four delegates for the State at large ; but, unwilling to confide ‘those who advocate this resolution accept the selection of delegates to the people, such an amendment?

Ship Channel to Beaufort. —The people ol Newbern have been moving in a matter which, if consummated according to their suggestions and desires, will be important to all that vicio- e—and, connected witha railroad from wes- tern North Carolina, will be of incalculable worth to the whole state. The work proposed is a ship chanuel to connect Beaufort harbor with Neuse river—tbus making an unobstruct- ed outlet from our great interior to the ocean, through one of the fiuest and safest barbors on the southern coast. A large meeting of the citizens of Newbern was held on the 14th iost., | from the proceedings of which we give the ma- | ican.” terial portion as fullows : G. S. Stevenson, Esq. moved that the Chair. | man of the meeting appoint a commitiee of five | persons to drafi a memorial to Congress on the | subject, and to get signatures of the citizens of | Newbern, and Craven county, and also of the | adjoining counties. He urged the propriety of | this motion at some length, expressing the opin- jon that the project was national in its charac. ter, and that a strong demonstration would se- cure an appropriation frum the Government for | its construction. He enlarged somewhat up- | on ite advantages to Newbern. and thought | that the railroads and opening of this naviga. | tion, would give to Newhern the command of the trade of middle and Western Carolina. He thought this an opportune occasion to apply to Government for this favor. Mr. Calhoun, in his late speech in Congrese, bad produc. cd the impression, that nearly all the money of the Government was spent in the Northern States, and he thought Congress would now be disposed to make more liberal appropriations for the benefit of Southern Ports, than it bad done heretofore. Hon. Wm. H Washington seconded the mo. tien. He argued at some length that North Carolina bad always paid her proportion of the | taxes without grumbling, but had never had any appropriation of consequence given her.— He said that Beaufort harbor was the only har. bor not blockaded during the last war with Gicat Britain, and that this channel would open us a tree passage to the ocean at all times, in peace or war. He expressed the opinion that Congress would certainly grant an appropria- | tion sufficient to accomplish this work. The question was then taken on the motion | of Mr. Stevenson, which was adopted unani- mously. THE NORTH CAROLINA RAIL ROAD. A meeting of the Genera] Commissioners of the Central Road, designated in the Act of in- corporation, was held in Greensboro’, on Sat. urday last, the 30th inst. Upon examination and comparison of the different books of sub. scription, it was found that the preliminary in- stalment of 5 per cent, had been paid in on the following subscriptions : Wake, 1340 shares; Petersburg 173; Wil- mington 502; Newhern 340; Johnston 52; Wayne 160; Orange 977; Alamance 400; Davidson 852; Rowan 1530; Davie 260; Caswell 23; Guilford 1174; Caburrus 807; | Mecklenburg 80; Total, 8680 shares. The counties of Buncombe, Burke and Mc. Dowell, Iredell and Forsythe, were not heard from atthe meeting, owing doubtless, to acci- dental causes; and there were two of the “ Hundred” in Guilford who were absent.— There is no donbt, we understand, but that these subscriptions will be made good. ‘The failure of Petersburg to pay in on the 40,000, that was pledged at the Hillsboro’ Convention, together with the above, caused some disappointment, but it is confidently anticipated that all will yet be right.

We have fullen up- on evil times, indeed, when the Senate of the United States—the great conservative branch of the Government—is to be degraded by scenes of rowdyism that woald do no discredit toa brothel, We clip the following condensed account of the alte.cation between Messrs. Benton and Foote from the “ Baltimore Amer. Though bad enough, it is expurgated of much of the offensiveness that marked the | disgraceful occurrence : Mr. Foote moved (on Tuesday) that the hills yesterday reported from the Committee on ‘Ter. | ritories, be taken up with a view to make them the special order for a particular day. Mr. Benton opposed the motion with much warmth, alledging that the time for action had come and calling on all the friends of Califor- nia to sally and prevent her from being kept | out of the Union. He gave notice that he should henceforth urge the admission of the State. California suffered much from her anomalous condition. She could not raise money upon the authority of her government in its present condition. If she was kept back, it would be for the purpose of remitting her toa territorial condition. She | was a State and she was entitled to precedence in the consideration of Congress, over the ter- |ritories. He referred to those opponents of ' California who had threatened to dissolve the Union if she was admitted as a State. Mr. Foote was glad, he said, that the Sena. _tor from Missouri had again come into action. | He was a friend of California? It was anew | born friendship. He Mr. Foote, had shown himself to be a true friend of California, and had promoted measures which would have brought ber into the Union long ago. | He adverted to the personal connexions and | interests of the Senator from Missouri, and the | origin of his zeal for California. | Mr. Benton, in course of his reply, remarked that the imputation of personal motives to him | was false and cowardly. | Mr. Foote replied that, before the Senator | used such words, he should relieve himself from | deep stains on his escutcheon, and made use of several other remarks personal to the Sena. | tor. Mr. Benton and Mr. Foote were called to | order, and the Vice President called the Sena- | tors to order. Several words passed between | the Mr. Foote and Mr. Benton, when the whole | subject was dropped. * * * * * * * Mr. Benton called attention (on Wednesday, ) tothe report, in the National Intelligencer, of | the altercation between him and the Senator from Mississippi, (Mr. Foote.) His own re- marks were correct—the remarks of the Sena. tor incorrect. The report of the Senator was a lying report—a lie trom beginning to end.— It was not parliamentary to alter words used in personal altercations. The reporters brought | their notes to him and he refused to look at them. The allegation of the Senator that he (Mr. B.) had openly disavowed obligations to the laws of honor, was utterly false. He made no |such disavowal., If the Senator chose, he | would bring the matter to a test.

Reg. Our Couniry.—The followiug eloquent ex- tract from Mr. Webster’s recent speech gives in a few forcible words, a more vivid idea of the magnificence and beauty of our mighty country and its glorious institutions than any- thing we have seen expressed in language : “And now, Mr President, instead of speaking of the possibility or utility of secession, instead of dwelling in these caverns of darkness, in- stead of groping with those ideas so full of all that is horrid and horrible, let us cherish those hopes which belong to us; Jet us devote our. selves to those great objects which are fit for our consideration and action ; Jet us raise our conceptions to the magnitude and importance ot the duties that devolve upon us; let our com. prehension be as broad as the country for which we act, our aspirations as great as its certain destiny ; let us not be pigmies in a case that calls for men. Never did there devolve on any generation of men higher trusts than now de. volve upon us for the preservation of this Con. atitution, and the harmony and peace of all who are destined to live under it. [tis a great pop- ular constitutional Government, guarded by legislation, by law, by judicature, and defended by the whole affections of the people. No monarchical throne presses these States togeth. er—no iron chain of despotic power encircles them—they live and stand upon a government popular ia its form, representative in its char- acter, founded upon principles of equity, and calculated we hope, to last forever. In all its history it has been benificent; it has trodden down no man’s liberty it has crushed no State. It has been in all its influences benevolent, be- nificent ; promoting the general prosperity, the general glory, and the general renown, and, at last, it has received a vast addition of territory. Large before, it has now, by recent events, bes come vastly larger. ‘This Republic now ex. tends, with a vast breadth, across the whole continent, ‘The two great seas of the world wash the one and the other’s shore.

The handsome sum of §9.300 a number of subscribers, and under all | borough, is well remembered. In so large the attending circumstances, some failures —some delinquences, were to be looked for. Meny have occurred which will doubtless be repaired ;—and nowhere is the saving grace of reparation more re— quired than in our own community. It affords us but little pleasure to advert to, the comparative standing of the counties concerned, as to the payment of the five dollars per share on their subscriptions: | Locofocos: The newspapers of that stripe but the comparison is forced upon us, and we might as well look the matter full in the face. with a view to retrieving the mortifying failure in our county. As mentioned in the report of the Trea- surer of the General Commissioners, a le- gal difficulty at last prevented the sub- scription of the Petersburg Railroad Com- pany. The payment of the five per cent on the four $8.000 shares from Forsyth, and on one_ share each from the other counties distant from the route, was pro bably delayed by accidental causes. The counties of Wayne and Mecklen- burg paid up on the precise amount re ported from them at the Hillsboro’ Con- vention. The counties of Wake, New Hanover, Craven, Rowan, Cabarrus, Orange. Ala- mance, Caswell. Davie, and the town of Petersburg in Virginia, came up, through their Representatives, with a considera- ble excess each over the amounts report- ed at Hillsboro’. Some of them paid very largely more than bad been promised by them. They pursued that wise course, always grateful both to contributor and recipient, of exceeding the expectations they had raised. Three counties fell below the amounts reported at Hillsboro’, to wit: Johnston, deficient $8.800; Davidson, $12,800 ;— Guilford, 13.000. It is useless to attempt to any disguise of our mortification at finding our county of Guilford in this list. She had done creditably well—$117,000 would be a handsome subscription—were it not that more was subscribed and promised by ber citizens, and character involved in the pledge. Inthe absence of any explana tion, those who caused this failure stand in the attitude of trifling with the reputa- tion of the county and with the public confidence. It therefore affords us plea sure to plead any apologies they are en titled to. Weare informed that a large portion of the failures were on the part of citizens absent from home. Ina few instances, we are aware, public spirited gentlemen who had lent their names for shares in the Hundred, with a well-foand- ed expectation of assistance from others. ultimately found themselves alone, and thus compelled to bring down the amoum in accordance withtheir individual ability. In addition to the above, we guess there were a few who didn’t know about it; a few who forgot it; and a few others like certain early patrons of our newspapers, —though ‘not expecting to derive any great benefit from our little sheet, they subscribed and took it three or four years ‘merely to encourage the thing ;’ but ne- ver paid acent for it, and we vow shrewd. ly suspect never intended to!

Northern Mail.—To say the accommo dation afforded this part of the country by the Northern Mail is bad, is to speak tamely. dis perfectly disgraceful. Why we have scardtty had a mail in regular time once in two weeks, for months past.

His messages to Congress contain the sum and substance of his private conversations in this connection. It would be the labor of a lifetime to reply to the idle gossip which finds it way from this city to the distant press. Reports which bear upon their face, as this does, the ear-marks of invention, should be utterly disregarded.

Ata meeting of the General Commissionerss, ap- pointed by the Act of the General Assembly, entitled “ An Act to incorporate the North Carolina Rail Road Company,” ratified the 27th day of January, 1849, held in Greensborough on the 30th day of March, 1850, it was ascertained 8680 shares had been subscribed to the | stock of the North Carolina Rail Road Company, and five dollars per share had been paid in thereon agreea- ably to the provisions of the charter, leaving 1320 shares yet to be subscribed for the completion of the capital stock of said Company upon the part of individuals ; but the Board have been informed that 560 shares were subscribed in the counties of Forsyth, Iredell, Burke, McDowell and Buncombe, which have not been report- ed and the five dollars per share paid in thereon, from accidental causes merely, as is believed by the Board, and can still be relied on, thus leaving 760 shares yet to be subscribed. Whereupon it is ordered by said Board that forthwith Books of subscription for stock in said Company, be again opened at the several places by the local Commissioners heretofore appointed for that pur- pose, and that they be kept open until the Ist day of May next, and that on that day the said local Commis- sioners return their Books and the sums of money re- ceived thereon to John M. Morehead, at Greensboro’, and the Board earnestly request the local Commission- ers and the friends of this great work of State improve- ment generally, io continue their exertions in procuring subscriptions to the stock of said Company until final success shall crown their efforts.

Youtn aud Love one Spring day met, *T was sunny April weather ; is finest fowls every year as a token carried a couple of h of gratiude. . Source or Execrgicity.—The earth is the great re> sereoit. of electricity: from whith the atmosphere and clouds receive their portion of this fluid. It is during Said Love, “ Ere yonder sun is set Let's take a stroll together.” Said Youth, * With all my heart will I, And hand in hand they wended ; The moon was low in the western sky When this long walk was ended. They talked of Beauty, Nature, Truth, Each eye the other's meeting, And ne’er since life began, to Youth, Had hours seemed half so fleeting. Said Youth, “ Since we're so happy now, Why not remain united ?” Love pressed a kiss upon Youth’s brow, And thus their troth was plighted. So binding was the vow they breathed It ne’er in life was broken, And Youth, in death, a kiss bequeathed, As Love’s own proper token. Since then ’tis said that Love’s first kiss Is of love’s joy the dearest, And, of all sublunary bliss, It is to Heaven the nearest. ” And though from death Love cannot save, Nor render Youth immortal, *T will loyal, follow to the grave, And with him pass its portal. A PIECE OF LEGAL ADVICE, Rennes, the ancient capital of Brittany, is a farnous piece of law. People come from the extremities of the country to get information and ask advice. To visit Rennes without getting advice appears impossible to a Breton. This was true at the latter end of the last cen- tury, just as it is at present, and especially among the gountry people, who are a timid and cautious race. Now it happened one day that a farmer named Ber- gard, having come to Rennes on business, bethought himself that as he had a few hours to spare, it would be well to employ them in getting the advice of a good law- yer. He had often heard of Monsieur Potier de la Ger- modaie who was in such high repute, that people be- fieved a lawsuit gained when be undertook their cause. The countryman enquired for his address, and proceed- ed to his house in Rue St. The clients were numerous, and Bernard had to wait some time. At length his turn arrived, end he was introduced. M. Potier de la Ger- modaie signed him to be seated, then taking off his spec- tacies, and placing them on his desk, he requested to know his business. “Why, Mr. Lawyer,” said the farmer, twirling his hat. “I have heard eo much about you, that as I have come to Rennes, I wish to take the opportunity of con- sulting you.” “I thank you for your confidence, my friend, you wish to bring an action, perhaps?” * An action! Oh, I hold that in abhorrence! Ne- yer has Pierre Bernard had a word with any. *“ Then it is a settlement—a division of property ?” ** Excuse me, Mr. lawyer; my family and I have mever made a division, seeing that we all draw from the same well, as they say.” * Well, is it to negotiate a purchase or a sale?” * Oh, no; I am neither rich enough to purchase nor poor enough to sell!” ** Will you tell me, then, what do you want of me?” said the Jawyer in surprise. “Why, [have already told you, Mr. lawyer,” replied Bernard, “ I want your advice—for payment, of course, as I am well able to give it to you, and I don't wish to lose this opportunity.” M. Potier tock a pen and paper, and asked the coun- tryman his name. * Pierre Bernard,” replied the latter, quite happy that he was at length understood. “ Your age?” “ Thirty years, or very near it.” “ Your vocation?” “« My vocation ! Oh, that means what I do. farmer.” The lawyer wrote two lines, folded the paper, and handed it to his strange client. ‘Is it finished already? Well and good. the price of that advice, Mr. lawyer ”” “ Three franca.” Bernard paid the money, and took his leave, delight- ed that he had taken advantage of his opportunity. When he had reached home it was four o'clock, the journey had fatigued him, and he determined to rest himself the remainder of the day. In the mean time the hay had been two days cut, and was completely saved. One of the working men came to ask if it should be drawn in. “* What, this evening!” exclaimed the farmer's wife, who had come in to meet her husband. « It would be a pity to commence the work so late, since it can be done to-morrow without any inconvenience. The man objected that the weather might change; that the hors- es were all ready and the men idle. But the farme~’s wife veplicd that the wind was in a good quarter and that night would set before their work could be com- pleted. Bernard, who had been listening to the ment, was uncertain which way to decide, suddenly recollected his pocket. Iama What is argu- when he that he had a lawyer's advice in * Wait a minute,” he exclaimed and @ famous one too, that I ought to tell us what to do. ; “ Thave an advice, paid three francs for, it Here, Theresa, see what ue eays; You can read written hand better than I” The woman took ‘he paper, and read this line :— “Never PUT OFF TIL! TO-y U -t “MORROW WIIAT MAY BE DONE TO-pay.” “That's it!” exclnimed Bernard, struck with a eud- den ray of light— Come, be quick ; get the carts awav: boys and girls, all to the hay-ficld !” - His wife ventured a fe clared that he Ww more objections, but he de- | had net bought a three franes opinion to make no use of it, and he would fullow the lawyer's ad- vice. He himself set the example by taking the lead in the work, and not returning tll the hay was brought in. The evént : ‘cemed to prove the wisdom of his conduct, | Plicity he replied, * Leat! the process of evaporation that it is principally excited | and silently conveyed to the regions above ; and also, | during the condensation of this vapor the grand and ter- | rific phenomena of thunder and lightning are made man- | ifest to our senses. In order to form a correct estimate of the immense power of this agent in the production of elactricity, we must bring to our view the quantity of water evaporated from the surface of the earth, and al- ' so thé amount of electricity that may be developed from a single grain of this liqaid. According to the calcula- tions of Cavallo, about five thousand two hundred and eight millions tons of water are probably evaporated from | the Mediterranean Sea in a single summer's day. ‘To | obtain some idea of the vast volume of water thus daily | taken up by the thirsty heavens, let us compare it with | something rendered more apparent than this invisible | proeesa. President Dwight and Professor Darby have | both estimated the quantity of water precipitated over | the Fall of Niagara at more than eleven millions tons per hour. Yet all the water passing over the cataract in twenty days would amount ouly to that ascending from | the Mediterranean in one day.— Washington Globe. i> Governor Trumbull, of Connecticut, in a procla- mation recommending the 29th uf March as a day of ' public fasting and prayer throaghout the State, among | other excellent things for which the Divine assistance is implored, adds the following: ‘That he will confirm | and render indissoluble our National Union, and frus- | trate the the traitorous designs of all thuse who conspire against it.” | pa Days without Nights—Dr. Baird, in a. lecture recently, gave some interesting | facts. ! 8 |stranger more forcibly. if he visits Swe- | den at the season of the year when the days are the longest, than the absence of Dr. Baird bad no conception of it night. | before his arrival. He arrived at Stock- holm from Gottenburgh, 400 miles distant. | in the morning, and in the allernoon went | _to see some triends—had not taken note of | | time—and returned about midnight; it _was as light as it is here half an hour be- fore sundown. You could see distinctly. But all was quiet in the streets; it seem- ed as if the inhabitants were gone away or were dead. No signs of life—stores closed. The sun in June goes down at Stock: | holm a little before ten o'clock. There is a great illumination all night. as the sun passes round the earth towards the north pole, and the refraction of its rays is such that you can see to read at midnight.— Dr. Bai.d read a letter in the forrest, near Stockholm. at midnight, without artificial light. There is a mountain at the head of Bothnia, where, on the 21st of June, the sun dves not go down atall. Travellers, go there to see it. A steamboat goes up from Stockholm for the purpose of grati fying those who ave curious to witness the | phenomenon, as it occurs only one night. The sun goes down to the horizon. you can see the whole face of it. and in five minutes it begins to rise. At the North Cape. latitude 72 degrees the sun does not go down for several days. In June it would be about 25 degrees, a bove the horizon at midnight. The way the people know it is midnight. they see | the sun rise. The changes in these high latitudes, from summer to winter, are so great that we can have no conception of them atall. In the winter time the sun disappears, and is not seen for weeks.— Then it comes and shows i's face. After- wards, it remains for ten, fifleen or twen- | ty minutes, and then descends, and finally it does not set at all, but makes almost a circle around the heavens. Dr. Baird was asked how they managed in regard to hired persons. and what they consider | aday. He could not say, but supposed they worked by the hour, and twelve hours would be considered a day’s work. Birds and animals take their accustom ed rest at the usual hours. The doctor did not know how they learnt the time, but they had, and goto rest whether the sun goes down or not. The hens take to the trees about seven o'clock. P. M., and Stay there until the sun is well up in the morning ; and the people getinto the hab- it of rising late too. ‘the British vessels firing a broadside. The tirst morning | Dr. Baird awoke in Stockholm, he was | surprised to see the sun shining into his room. He looked at his watch and found it was only three o’clock ; the next time he awoke it was five o’clock; but there were no persons in the street. The Sweeds in the cities are not very indus- trieus, owing, probably, to the climate. Difference of Opinion.—The railroad com. panies of New Jersey having the contract for the conveyance of the great mails, have re. newed their app ication to the Post office De. partment for the discontinuance of the day of morning mail line on Sunday between Phila. and N.

And when war, with all trials, sufferings and carnage, had ceased to desolate bis native country ; when peace bro't happiness and liberty to every fire side, still he isthe same steadfast masonic teacher and its unchanged friend. Neither the patronage of power nor the advance of age ever chilled his ardent attachment to our ancient order, or made him less an active and a working Mason—ac- tive in all its charities and working to give it an eternal endurance. In his youth George Washington became a Mason. Here is the record of his initiation; and here too I exhibit the Bible, then used in the Lodge, and which, as we ail know, is the first and greatest light of masonry.

Retirement to the quiet shades of Mount Vernon did not remove Washington from his Masonic labors and usefulness. On the 28th day of April, 1788, Edmund Randolph, | the then Grand Master and Governor ot Vir. | vinia, issued a charter to Alexandria Lodge, | No. 22—Of this Lodge, Washington was a member. and was constant and punctual, and | ever ready to communicate light and instruc- tion—that light which time has never deemed, and that instruction, the bountiful fruits of which, are manifested in the uniform prosperity of the Lodge, and its now numerous and respectable attendance here. Elevated shortly after this | to the first office in the Republic, he is yet found in constant corre-pondence and active connec: tion with the Masonic body. His letters writ- ten in 1783, 1784. 1790, 1791, 1792, and 1797. speak the language of a true, fuithful and ar- dent tollower of Masonary. At all times, whe- ther in the working of Lodges, or in the open ceremonies of public occasions, he was ready to perform his part. When the Capitol of the nation was commenced, he was present and ‘the leading actor on that occasion. But he was there asa Mason. ‘This marble mallet, or | master’s gavel, was then used by bim, and is} the property-of Georgetown Lodge, in the Dis- | trict of Columbia. ‘This apron and sash (bere | the speaxer held up these ancient relics) adorn. | ed his noble form.

All brundertakings were well considered and more well executed. In none, in his long life, fi he display this striking quality of his head wd heart more strongly than by his early con- ¥etion with and unwavering adherence and de- Mion to the ancient order of Free Masonry, ects.

In Greece and in Venice—in the dark 4@s—in ancient and modern times—nay in all Ps, our Washington found Masonry true and Meadfast in advancing the intellectual and mor. provement of the masses, and the eleva- of man to that condition of equality and bppiness that now blesses more than twenty ions of American freemen. Yes, on this billowed spot, hallowed henceforth and forever "the name of Washington, may I well say, | “in all truth dectare, that masonry has done Much, nay possibly more, than all other as- ions for the establishment of the just rights Man, Broad, comprehensive and never.

The master’s chair, too, was given by Wash. ington to the same Lodge. He ofien occupied it, and may it continue to be adorned by suc- cessors who may imitate, butcan never equal the donor, in wisdom, strength and beauty.— Such is an imperfect and half-finished out-line of his Masonic character and services. He died as he had lived, devotedly one of us, and was buried, as he desired, with Masonic hon- ors. If we look for a bright and spotless example —if we seek for light and truth—if we desire to follow the blazing pathway of a noble spirit, then Washington should be our beacon light. by him we may be guided as by “a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.” As the great exemplar of our order, he never failed to incul. cale * peace on earth and good wi! to all men.” Around him shone lesser lights. Many of them, had they lived in other periods, would have given lustre totheir times. But he stands not alone in the temple. As the chief key and cap stone of that temple, he is sustained and supported by other tried and trusty workmen. Franklin, the scholar and the patriot— Warren, the first Grand Master of Masons in America, and who died loved and admired, gallantly bat- ‘ling for his country —Lafayette, Greene, Mar- shall, Mercer and Randolph, were his Masonic associates. It is of such as these that our tem- ple has been erected. They are the examples of our own country, the bright and shining lights of our order, adding power and beauty to all its parts. The historian informs us, tbat all the Major Generals of the Revolutionary army, except one, were Master Masons. Each of them had beheld That hieroglyphic bright Which none but craftsmen ever saw. And all save that benighted one died respec- ted and beloved. He alone proved a traitor and went to his grave stamped with the infamy of atraitor. Turning to our time, the lights of masonry burn yet brilliantly. How many of our best and purest do we find united with its hopes, its prospects and its fortunes. Look around us now and bebold the men who blush not at being hailed as sincere and honest Masons, and esteem themselves honor. ed with being this day with us and dressed with the simple badge of a while apron. Yes, in this stand is the Governor of our State, the re- spected first officer of the Commonwealth. He isone of us. Shall [tell you who sits beside him? Does the bero of the Rio Grande, the victor of Buena Vista, the elected President of the nation, who has long served his country with devotion and fidelity, (and although not one of us,) require a higher compliment than to say that he too, will meet us as a brother? But among us we have some young members, and devoted associates; our old friend and amiable, brave and true Selden, the hero of Chapultepec ; and the sterling soldier too of the ancient county of Amelia, he who glorious- ly won his brevet at Resaca de Ja Palma—the gallant Graham—they are others of the craft. Well may this, the greatest assemblage of Masons ever collected in this commonwealth, exclaim, “how lovely and how beautiful it is | for brethren to dwell) together in harmony and peace.” The power and the influences of our order are most happily exemplified. So great indeed have these been known to be, that in the heat and fury of the battle strife, when men, even the red and wild Indians of the forest were maddened by rage, and the scalping knife and | tomahawk were reeking with the blood of their victims, a single word has stricken down and paralized the uplified arm of the warrior and saved bis prostrate and helpless foe. Such was the case at the river Raisin. But I forbear—I have passed the limits im- posed on myself. There is but one sentiment which pervades the hearts of this vast multi- | tude, but one desire that animates us all; it is that this monument, with which the honor and gratitude of the State are now indissolubly as- sociated, may be speedily and successfully com- pleted. And, spirits of our departed Fathers, we ask you to look down on us and encourage ug with your smiles and your blessings, in this our great and laudable undertaking.

The enemies of this gentleman are so intent on injuring him if possible, that an attempt has been made to excite the Methodists against him by stating that he had referred to the Ministry of that body as the “hundred dollar fellows” by way of derision. As we had not seen the report in full of that part of his speech, we could not tell whether the charge was just or not; but we now give the extract in full, as re- ported in the Globe, and we are certain that not a Methodist of the strictest sect can take exceptionsto his remarks. He does refer to the Ministry as the “hundred dollar men,” but not in a spirit of derision but a spirit of approbation. How could he be otherwise, when we learn that he has a brother inthe Ministry. But here |. is the extract, let every person read it for himself. The Honorable gentleman from Alaba- ma commenced this morning, by saying that he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Yes, and I referred to the fact yesterday, in courtesy. He pro- mulgates it this morning. I know it and the country knows it,—from extracts which have been published from his ser- mons. He is one of those gentlemen, I doubt not, who desire to procure the eclat of the galleries, andthe compliments of the ladies, for his sermons; and he comes here this morning to pour out his malice upon me. I cannot but have respect for its clergy, in spite of the exhibition we have had here this morning. They are the pi- oneers of religion in our country. They are not like the gentleman from Alabama who knows a great deal more about Vat- te], Bynkershoek, and Grotius de Jure Belli, than of the Epistles of St. Peter, St. Paul, or St. James. But they are these hundred dollar men, who take their sad- dle-bags, and ride through our American forrests, sending forth glad tidings of great joy to the black and to the white. They are to religion, what our Yankees are to Commerce, they go where nobody else go, and do not preach for glory, or for pay, or any thing of that sort. They do not dance attendance on the great—are not “Frequent in park with lady at his side. * * * * Constant at routs, familiar with a round Of ladyships.” Through these men “the poor have the Gospel preached unto them.” The Nashville Convention.—From al! we can learn from our exchanges, there is a great deal more opposition to the pro. posed Nashville Convention than we had any thought there would have been. Pa- pers from all parts of the South have come to band, containing resolutions op- posed toit. They give asa reason, that the proposed convention, they fear, will have a tendency to weaken the bonds that hold the States together. We remark however, a universal spirit of opposition to anything calculated to compromise the honor of the South. Those who are in favor of the Nashville Convention, are sincere in the belief of its efficacy, if not to adjust the present difficulty, at least to strengthen the hands of Southern Congress men ; whilst the opposers of the Conven- tion take the ground that it will tend to- wards disunion, trammel our representa- tives in Congress, or at least do no good. To a fair difference of opinion, fairly ex- pressed no thinking man ought to object ; nor do we. But we do object to the spir- it in which both these Southern parties oppose each other. What good can it do the South to hear one party call the other disunionists and demagogues, and to hear the other party retaliate by calling out traitor, abolitionist, ally of the northern fanatics, &c.?

NAVIGATION OF NEW RIVER, &c. In the Senate on Wednesday last, Mr. Mangum presented a memorial signed by three hundred citizens of Onslow County, in this State, in favor of the improvement of the navigation of New River, and the establishment of a port of entry at Jack- sonvitle, Onslow. Mr. M., in presenting the petition, said it was signed by three hundred of the most respectable citizens of the community in which they reside, in the county of Onslow, North Carolina. It represented that the river, which passes through that portion of the State is obstructed by shoals at the point at which it enters the coun- ty, and the petitioners pray that a small appropriation be made for the purpose of removing these obstructions. The peti- tion sets forth that, in that immediate vi- cinity, the waters are not navigable for more than twenty miles, and that the pro- ductions of turpentine, corn, cotton, and various other articles, cannot be easily transported. He knew this to be so, and that the land there was as fertile as that of any region in the country. That part of the country was most abundantly sup- plied also with naval stores of every de- scription—the finest forrests, the largest trees that he had ever seen, except, upon the banks of the Cumberland—which were useless on account of the difficulty in getting themtothe ocean. He thought that, if appropriations were ever made, no place could be found where the appro- priation, to the extent which was asked, could be more usefully made. Very little had been asked by this portion of the country, and they had uniformly received less than any others. He trusted that the petition would meet with a due and favor- able consideration.

COTTON FACTORIES IN THE WEST, The New Orleans Bulletin mentions the ar- rival, at that place, of a large quantity of ma. chinery, destined for a large Cotton Factory to be established at Caunelton, Indiana, with « capital of $250,000 all of which is paid in. The factory is situated on a beautiful site on the Ohio river, in a village where, (en years ago, was a complete wilderness, but which now contains a population of 3000 inbabitaate. The Bulletin asks, with a great deal of pro- priety, a question which should address itself to the entire South: * When will Louisiana a. waken to the immense advantages of such es- tablishments here?” Millions of Pigeons.—Letters from In- diana complain that some of the pigeoa roosts cover the forests for miles, destroy- ing the timber.

Moore Esq., appeared for the State, and perform- ed his duties with marked fidelity and a. bility; and the prisoner was defended with much skill and tact, by Messrs. George W. Haywaod and Henry W. Mil- ler. The Jury returned a verdict of Man- slaughter ; and on Saturday morning the prisoner was brought out, and, under sen- tence of the court, was branded in the hand and committed to Jail, there to re- main for six months. We should not discharge a daty incum- bent upon us as the conductor of a public journal, if we did not state that very gen- eral dissatisfaction exists in the communi- ty with the result of this trial. No doubt the Jury performed the unpleasant duty, devolved upon them, bonestly, conscienti- ously, and to the best of their judgements according to the facts and the law, as they were before them ; but this does not unsettle the opinion, generally prevalent, that the case was one of higher grade than that of manslaughter. Even the Judge, whose charge was not, probably, quite as clear as it might have heen, told the prisoner, in bis address to him on Sat- urday morning, that he had made a “hap- py escape,” and that his case was one of “aggravated Manslaughter.” We have made these remarks with kind feelings toward the worthy relations of this young man, and with no wish to injure him or them. Less, we could not bave said, and have at the same time complied with the demands of public jus- tice, which, in this case, in the opinion of the community generally, have not been properly regarded.— N. C. Standard. THE LAZARONI IN THE U. STATES. The editor of an Italian paper in N. Y. the Eco d@’ Italia, having fearlessly exposed in the columns of his journal a secret society of beggars in that city, known among the halians as Lazaroni, has been threatened with violence. Signor Secchi de Casali, the editor, being him. selfan exile from Italy, desires that Americans should make a distinction between political ex- iles and vagabonds, as these Lazaroni are yo. ing round with papers containing false state- ments and forged signatures, representing themselves as persicuted for political opinions, and espelled by the government of ltaly. ‘The Eco d’ Italia, thus speaks of the mysteries of this suciety ; “The Lazaroni are almost all of them from Barzonasca, a village near Genoa; every one of them owns property which they mortgage in order tu pay their passage to the United States. Those who manufacture their false papers and keep in this city dens of such vagrants, often send as agent a certain B to Genva, who on his return brings with bim some eigh- ty or more Lazaroni ; that are instantly provi- ded with papers, and begin their trade on the first day of their arrival. “There are women hiring five or six children for so much a day, whom they keep around them ordering them to sleep and sometiines to cry, in order to make people believe they are suffer. ing from want and misery. Sume of these children, afier having wandered all the day, ex. posed to the rain, cold, and often to the insults of libertines, are flogged on their return bome, if they have not succeeded in obtaining money. These children are also diseased and sleep on handfulls of straw with empty stomachs.” MURDER... About the 15th of September last, Eli Sig. man, jr. left Catawba county in company with an individual named Adam Clark, of Granville, who had induced him to leave, by a prospect of employment. ‘They started off on foot, and no more was heard of the parties, until the remains | of a body, supposed to be that of Sigman, was found in the vicinity of Clark’s house. A Jury of Inquest was held, the verdict of which was that the deceased come to his death by violence. Suepicion rested on Clark, who attempted to fly on the approach of the Jury towards the house, but was taken, and lodged in the Jail of Granville county, to await his trial, which will | be brought forward on the first Monday in September next. A gun, wallet, and a sum of money was found in possessivn of Clark, which together with some clothing, yo far to contirm the suspicion against him. Mr. Sigman was a good and industrious young man, about 21 years of age, und has a large and respectable famiiy connection in Catawba county. Lin. Courier. Seizure oF Frencn Vessets.—The Cou- rier des Etats Unis alleges that Mr. Col- lier at San Francisco, has seized four | French vessels having on board brandy in bottles, instead of in casks of not less than five gallons each. The utmost leniency appears to have been shown to the viola- tors of the customs law, inasmuch as the Collector contented himself with declar- ing the brandy confiscated, and give over the vessels and their cargoes to the con. signees. Four vessels trom Bordeaux had also been seized for breaches of the cus- tome law. It appears as though Europe- an ship eaptains or their employers sup. pose that California is out of the pale of United States authority, and it is quite as well that the contrary should be made known. The new war steamer Susquehanna was to pare been launched at Philadel. phia on Wednesday, but sh eae y, but she stopped on che isa tee vessel, and her boilers, mace entirely of copper have cost about $150,000.

The | treaties negotiated by Mr. Squier are before the Senate, but f presume they will not be- acted upon until the arrangement with Great Britain shall also be submitted to the Senate. As Mr. Webster has been excused from serving on the committee appuinted to atiend the remains of Mr. Calhoun, the vacancy is to be filled by the Chair. The committee now consists of Mr.Mason, Mr. Davis, of Miss., Mr. Berrien, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Dudge, of Iowa, and one vacancy. Mr. Davis is now detained trom the Senate by indispositiun. As Mr. Webster bas been called away, and General Dawson is absent, on account of bis recent bereavement, and several other Senators are about to absent themselves, nuthing of impor. tance will, I presume, be done in the Senate during tbis month. I doubt much whether any adjustment of the slavery and territorial ques. tions will be effected lor a month or two yet. ‘The Calbuun committee will proceed tu Charles. ton as soun as the arrangements contemplated there fur the reception of the remains shall be concluded. ‘The committee will receive nutice trom Charlestun in a few days. dir. Crawford will, itis positively asserted, resign his post as Secretary of War as soon as the Committee of Investigation, appointed at his request, shall report. ‘The justice of the claim has been ably vindicated in the columas of the “Republic,” in an article over the sig- nature of Win. Cust Jubuson. ‘The commit- lee have obtained leave to sit during the daily session of the House. ‘The committee of finance of the Senate have reported liberal additional items to the deticien- cy bill, adding more than a million toit. ‘The original bouse bill provided the sum of $1.300,- 000. ‘The Senate commitiee order for contio- gencies of the House, $129,000; do.

So, the entire amount of deticiencies supplied is $2,407,000. ‘The money is said to be much wanted in the Executive Depariments. A little relief to the monotony of the flat and unprofitable slavery debate was afforded to day by a speech from Mr. Corwin, of Ohio—(not the wagon-boy)—but a man of must excellent witand humor. How he has contrived to sup- press such a dispositiva for fun, fur 4 months, is rather remarkable. ‘The Senate exhibited to day a decided deter. mination to take the patronage of the census out of the hands of the Secretary of the Lloteri- or, and give itty the census board. ‘They will probably dispose of all the printing not yet dune by contract, offered to the lowest bidder. lon. Mr. Stanly's Speech.—We have heard a great deal of talk in democratic papers about the speech of Mr. Stanly. So far we have not been able tu come across the document in full. We have, however, in another column, published a summary of it as found in an exchange. The reader can judge for himself, as to its merits or defects, so far as can be judged trom thar summary. For our own part we cannot believe that Mr. Stanly has any other mo- tive than a sincere desire to see the ques- tion settled. He may have expressed his opinion in too warm language ; but of this we could judge better could we see his speech in full. We cannot for a moment however, think that he has any notion of compromising the South. When we see his speech we will read it carefully, and then say our say.—N. C. Argus. ANOTHER BLOW AT DISUNION. R. W. Flournoy, of Georgia, who had been suggested as a Delegate to Nashville, declines the use of his name for such a purpose, and writes a letter to the Central Georgian, frum which we make the following extract: “The fact cannot be concealed that the peuple of Georgia have not responded to the action of the Legislature on that subject. Nor is there such aunanimity among the Slaveholding States as could alone secure due weight to the action of that Convention. Nor will the tone of Mr. Calhoun’s speech strengthen the cause by pro. m: ting that harmony necessary to its efficiency. We, of the South, cannot abandon the strong position we now occupy by asking for an a. mendment of the Constitution, believing it full and sofficient for our protection, and that we can alone be injured by its vivlation. A new rotary printing machine has been invented in Loudon, which is said to be a great improvement upon any now in use. It consists of a series of lateral cyl. enders and occupies little more than halt the space of the American Machine.— The printing is from stereotype, not from the metallic type, and the number of cop ies thrown off by one machine per hour is 15,000. Each cylender carries a contin vous sheet, equal to 2,000 copies of a journal, and each copy is cut off by the machine and folded. The paper is not damped ; the impression is superior to any produced on damped paper. The stereo- typing is at almost miraculous process.— In the ordinary course of slereoly ping, — several hours are required, here it is the work of fifteen minutes. A few sheets of tissue paper are placed together and press ed upon the form containing the types.— Thus the mould is tormed, the metal is Poured upon it, and as soun as it is cold the stereotypes are ready for the cyleuder. Severe Sentence.—'Vhe trial of Albert G. Garkins, the young man whe was arrested in January last, by a special agent of the Post OF fice Departinent, charged with robbing the U. S. Mail. took place, on Monday last, before the Circuit Court in this city, and resulted in his conviction on four separate indictments. He was sentenced to furty years imprisonment at hard labor in Edgefield jail—ten years fur each offence. —Char. Courier. 0 AR ol 59 5. Sei i A ae Bi NASHNILLE CON VENTION. We potice in the Raleigh Register. an in- teresting review of the Nashville Convention question, as it is received and acted upon hy the Southern States. The following very much condensed summary will shuw how the states stand; Delaware, bas shown no inclination to juin her sisters of the south on this subject. Maryland, has declared against the Wiimot Proviso, but said nothing about a Suuthern Con. vention, and there bas been no popular move. ment in favor of it. South Carolina, by her legislature, has ap- pointed delegates to Nashville, and the people, it is thought, are generally pleased with the measure. Georgia, by the legislature ordered an elec. tien of delegates to be made by the people.— The electiva took place on the 2d iastant, and not one-twentieth part of the voters attended the polls, showing the most marked indifference on the subject. In Florida, some counties bave held meet- ings to appoiut delegates, bul strong opposition to the movement has been manifested about Pensacola and Tallahaseee. In Alabama, the Legislature failed odo any thing. A cauces at the close of the session un- dertook to name delegates for each of the Con. gressional districts. But there is no certainty that those named will act. one having already declined, until the people shall authorise him tu attend. Iu Mississippi, the whole movement appears to have had its origin. ‘Their action is a litle mixed up—two sets of delegates having been ap- pointed: one set by the Legislature, and one set by a popular Convention at Jackson. It cannot be tuld which of the two sets, (if either,) the people would prefer. Missouri, has adopted strong resolutions a.- gtinst Northern movements, but has said noth. ing about a Souhern Convention. Kentucky is hard down on the Convention, and will have nothing to do with it. Tennessee, is against it also; and it is ase serted that the Convention will not be allowed to sit in Nashville. Texas, hy her Legislature has approved the movement, but it is very doubtful whether the people sanction its uction. North Carolina, may have two or three of her Congressional districts represented. There will be no delegate there to represent the State at large. THE “ HORNETS’ NEST.” This paper says ‘‘ we ate informed, that the ‘ Salis- bury Watchman’ objects to our notices of Mr. Stanly’s speech,” &c. Who gave it that information? Did not that strange concern, read in the ‘* Watchman” what was said about it? Why then say, we are ‘ inform- ed,” unless it was to convey the idea that the * Nest” did not “exchange” with the ‘“ Watchinan?” Per- haps the editor felt ashame to have it known that he condescended to an exchange with us. And we sup- pose under this view of the case, he would blush to the eyes were we to tell the public that the ‘* Nest” actu- ally requested an exchange withus! Itisso. Wecan’t save the editor from mortification by keeping it secret. He did request an eXchange, and we were kind enough, or simple hearted enough, to grant his request. And up to the time of the publication of our articles in which, as the Nest is “ informed,” we object to its notices of Mr. Stanly, that “‘ exchange” went on uninterruptedly. But by the next Southern mail after those ‘ objections” appeared, the copy of our paper containing them, which we sent tothe ‘‘ Nest,” was returned to us (under a new cover) with the following inscription : Charlotte NC Refused and not taken from The P. Office Now we have no doubt that the editor has managed the whole of this business himself. There is something so life-like—or like him—in it, that nobody else could, or would, have done it in the same way. When this instance of the editor's peculiarity came before us, we felt two ways: First, like laughing. and yet, secondly, could not well laugh for the contempt with which we were inspired by such conduct. The by withholding his delectable sheet! Had he become was his duty to make the best of it, and not goto cutting such capers as that. He ought, under the circumstan- ces, rather to have begged a release. We would have granted it to him most cheerfully ; for our “ exchange list” was as full a< we cared to have it long before this erratic editor began his career. In the remarks we made relative to the course pur- sued by the “ Hornets’ Nest,” in reference to Mr. Stan- ly, there was nothing personal to the editor of that pa- per. We cannot say that we were surprised to find that | to us. For instance, see the following: “ Where did the Watchmen get their advice from?” &c. And again— “« We refer the Watchmen to the spoken speech of Mr. Stanly,” &c. Again—In the absence of the kind and gratuitous counsel of the ‘ Watchmen,’ on the watch towers of Whiggery.” We confess we were surprised to find this sort of an attempt to ridicule, or throw contempt upon us. We had expected sumething new from the inventive and peculiar mind of the editor of the “ Nest.” Something smart—something Lippard like. But in styling us “Watchmen” he borrows the language of a paper which he himself declared is “ too filthy to Jay apon a Sentlemen’s table.” How strange, after abusing the ** Lincoln Republican,” as he has done, that he should yet borrow from that same source a bit of wit to help him out io 80 small « case of distress! In relation to what the “ Hornets’ Nest” says in jus- tification of its attack upon Mr. Stanly, we have only to remark, that it takes the precise ground taken by the Locofuco press throughout the State, to wit: that the written speech of that gentleman, is not the speech which he delivered. The Locufocos, and the “ Nest” among them, greedily snapped up the vile perversions of letter writers on the subject uf that speech, and pub- Iished them as the words of Mr. 8. When his speech Comes out in an authentic form, however, it proves that those assaults were wholly unjustifiable. Finding them- selves in an unenviable attitude, with no other means of escaping public odium, they attemptto fix upon Mr. S. the charge of cowardly suppressing what he did say. We think those who have known and appreciated the Say but litle—think moch—and do more. a “> Hon.

Such is the language, in sub- stance, which the “ Nest” used. We wash !—Whew! It is worthy of remark that the “ Staadard,” “ Che- raw Gazette,” and other Locofoco papers, in and out of the State, have caught up the articles containing the above language, and given them to their readers as coming from a Whig paper. Most of them hate Mr. Stanly as would never forgive themselves if they were to let slip an opportunity to inflict a stain upon his character.— These paragraphs from the “ Nest” was doubtless re- garded as a very sweet morsel. CABARRUS AND THE RAILROAD. We have seen a letter from a gentle- man in Cabarrus. who writes ander date of April 17th as follows: “The Cabarrus subscription to the Rail Road, has risen to $93,000, which is an increase of 812.800(ihe 5 per cent paid in) over the amount reported at Greensboro’.” We begin to fenr that Cabarrus has ta- ken it into her head to beat Rowan, and so have the first Locomotive on the line in her name. Well be it so. She is a glorious little spot on this green earth.— Rowan, must rally. however. she bas not yet done all that she can do. It will not answer to depend on others to carry the project through. Rowan must up and at it again. There are hundreds in this county who might take from $100 tv $500 stuck. and never feel it. Nearly all the subscriptions here are large. and we fear that all who intend to take much stock have already put down their names.— Now, then, let small subscriptions come in. We trust every farmer will make it a matter of conscience, and come forward without delay, and do what he can. Now is the day and now is the hour. Let this opportunity pass unimproved, and the fate of the State, and the prospects of the cit- izen are doomed to languish forever. ITEMS. There were five fires in New Orleans on the Sth.

Salisbury, April 18, 1850. 49 STOP THE RUNAWAY. 75 REW ARD.--Ronaway from the x subscriber on the 17th day of September last, a negro fellow by the name of JOLLY. He is about 5 feet 7 or & inches high ; broad trembling in his hands when holding any thing ; rather bow legged. I think he can read print. I had anoth- er fellow who started off with Jolly to Ohio with free passes. Jolly’s was a pass belonging to a free negro by the name of Wilson Smith, who had a genuine certifi- cate signed W. Dismukes, clerk county court of Anson county, and certified by Wm. Johnson, Chairman of said Court, certified by the then Governor Edward B. Dudley. Said pass was found on Jolly in Moore coun- ty, and the man thought he was a free negro, and let him goon. About the 18th March last, a friend of mine knowing all about my negroes, pursued Jolly, and came up with him within ihree miles of Greensboro’, in company with three Virginia Wagoners, and took him. On his way back, Jolly made his escape, and no doubt but he will try and get another free pass from the same scoundrel that furnished him with the first. The other negro was committed to Moore county jail, and I have since got him. His free pass was written, and signed C. W. Wooley, clerk county court of Mont- gomery, O. Willie, Chairrman—an old paper, entirely coonterfeit, though it bore the impress of something re- sembling a County Seal. No doubt now remains but Simeon D. Pemberion, of Anson County, is the rascal who procured these passes for my negroes. It may be that that couterfeiter, Geasling, of Rockingham County, who was whipped and imprisoned at Wadesborough, wrote one of the passes. When he was discharged, he visited his particular friend, Simeon D. Pemberton, and laid at hie house for more than a week, fixing a plan to get my negroes off into the hands of this counterfeiting gang. I will give $25 for the confinement of Jolly, and $50 for proof to convict the rascal who took him off. Simeon D. Pemberton is about the height of Jolly, (not higher,) large white eyes, black beard, and will weigh from 140 to 150 pounds, a whining voice, very dark complected, and a very ingenuous and cunning fellow. 1 would warn the public to keep an eye upon him.

The stormy March ia come at last, With wind and cloud and changing skies: I hear the rushing of the blast That through the snowy valley flies. Ab! passing few are those who speak, Wild stormy month, in praise of thee! Yet though thy winds are loud and bleak Thou art a welcome month to me. For thou to Northern land again The giad and glorious sun dost bring, And thou hast joined the gentle train, And wearest the gentle name of Spring. And in thy reign of blast and storm Smiles many a long bright sunny day, ‘When the changed winds are soft and warm, And heaven puts on the bloom of May. Then sing aloud the gushing rills, And the full springs from frost set free, That brightly leaping down the hills Are just set out to meet the sea. The year’s departing beauty hides Of wintry siurms the sullen threat, But in thy sternest frown abides A look of kindly promise yet. Thou bring’st the hope of those calm skies, And that soft hue of many showers, When the wide bloom on earth that lies Seenos of a brighter world than ours. ahememeie STATE MEDICAL CONVENTION. The Medical Society of North Carolina held its first Anniversary meeting in this City, on Wednesday last. The President, Dr. Edmund Strudwick, of Orange, not being present at the organization, Dr. James E. Wil- fiameon, of Caswell, one of the Vice Presidents, conven- ed the body. We learn that about fifteen counties were Pepresented. On Thursday, an Address was delivered, in the Sen- ate Chamber, before the members of the Profession and | by Dr. | a number of intelligent ladies and gemilemen, Surudwick, followed by the first An * before the Association, by Dr. Thoa N. Cameron, of Fayetteville. Both these gentlemen acquitted them- selves in a manner highly creditable to the occasion and bo the Profession, whose organs they were. Their Ad- dresses are, we learn, to be published, when those who did not have the pleasure of hearing them can read for themselves. The officers of the Association for the last year, were pe-appointed. Drs. W. G. ‘Thomas, E. Stradwick, and J. F. MeRee, Sr. were appointed delegates to the Na- tional Medical Convention, with Drs. N. J. Pittman, W. L. Norwood, and J. F. McRee, Jr., Dr. C. E. Johnson, of Raleigh, was selected to deliver the Lecture at the next session of the Society, with Dr. N. J. Pittman, of Edgecombe, as his Alternate. Anniversary Lecture Drs. W. H. McKee, W. G. Hill, C. E. Johnson, R. | B. Haywood, and E. B. Haywood, were chosen a State | Central Committee.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY. Prof. Minn smenedboch. of Stockholm, has very-lately. brought to mstate of.:per- feetion the art 6f producing A turpér the whole system, by ‘the appli€ation. of cold of different degrres of intensity ..pro .. ceeding from a lesser to a greater, 80.a8 lo cause the human body to becumr periect- ly torpid without permanent injury to any organ or tissue of ibe ‘rame. In this state they may remain for one bundred. or a thousand years. and again, after a sleep of ages, be awakened to existence, as fresh and blooming as they were when they first sank into this frigerific slumber. The attention of the learned Professor, was first led to the subject by finding a toad enclosed in a solid iragment of cal- carious rock, ten feet in diameter, which when taken oat, showed unequivocal signs of life; but it is supposed, that the con- cussion caused by blasting the rock occa- sioned its death in a few hours atter.— The opinion of Baron Gruithizen, who is at present geologist to the king of Sweden was that it must have been in that situa- tion for at least seven thousand years, and his calculations drawn trom the different layers of strata by which it was surroun ded. From this bint the Professor pro ceeded to make experiments. and alter a painful and laborious course for the last 29 years of his life, he at last succeeded in perfecting the great discovery. Not less than sixty thousand reptiles, shell fish &c., were experimented un before be tried a human subject. The process it not laid entirely before the public as yet, but I bad the honor, in company with a friend, of visiting the Professsor. I] shall give a slight description of one of the outer rooms containing some of his preparations. Prevsous to entering we were furnished with ao India rubber bag to which was attached a mask with glass eyes. This was put on to prevent the temperature of the room from being rais ed the slightest degree by our breathing. It was a circular room lighted from the top by the sun’s rays. from which the heat was entirely disengaged by its passage through the glass, &c.. colored by the ox ide of copper. (a late discovery and very valuable to the Prefessor) The room is sbelved all round and contains nearly one thousand specimens of animals. Oue was a Swedish girl, from appearance about 19 years old—she was consigned to the Professor by order of the government to experiment upon, having been guilty of murdering her child. With the exception of a slight paleness she appeared as if a- sleep, although she has been in a complete torpor fortwo years. The Professor to gratify us, took a small] snake out of his cabinet into another rom, and although it appeared to us tobe perfectly dead and rigid as marble, by application of a mix- ture of cayenne pepper and brandy, it showed immediate signs 0, life, and was apparently as active as ever it was in a minute, although the Professor assured us it had been in a state of torpor for six years THE GREAT JEWISH FEAST. The memorable feast of the Passover commenced on Wednesday evening— among the Jews. This Feast is now cel. ebrated by a vast and growing population in this New World. Every family is pre- viously supplied with unleavened bread for seven days.—In a week the Feast will end with two sacred days. The New York Tribune says: “The origin ot the keeping of two days Moses enjoins only one, is found in the embarrassment which the dispersed of Is- rael at first found in ascertaining the pre- cise day that was celebrated in Palestine. as Alternates. | scorn and contempt. on its final! w As we wonder at the extraordinary care with which the Jews remove all leaven _ from their houses, change their dishes. and | prepare their new bread, how forcibly are | we reminded of the sacred injunction giv- en to the gentiles—'Purge out, therefore, the old leaven—the leaven of malice and | wickedness ! | Apostolic figur | of sincerity and truth, ” The Rag Picker.—Our citizens have, doubiless frequently noticed a middle aged man, but of very delicate form, perambu lating our streets and leading a small in- dian pony. This is the rag picker. He carries in his hand a small stick, with a hook attached to the end of it, and across | the pony is thrown a large bag, wherein | the rag-picker deposites his rags, he be- ing too weak to carry it himself, and the _lucrativeness of his business enables him tokeepa pony. New Orleans has a la rge paper manulactory in the Third Municip. ality, and we believe that clean rags are worth three cents a pound. The rag pic- ker averages nearly one hundred and filty pounds of rags per day, which would | make the handsome sum ot $4 50 for bis. T daily labor. Should this man become Wealthy in his future years, who would ever know that he had been a rag picker? and would not the world, for his wealth, | smile on hin and take bim kindly by the | band?) Hlow many have grown rich by selling liquor at three cents per glass, and | yet we may think the rag picker’s occu. | pation the more respectable of the two. although he is generally looked upon with When we look a. round upon the ibousands of idlers and beggars of our cily, Who rather than use the energy and industry of the rag picker would starve, we have litile sy mpathy left for those who call themselves unfortunate, and ratber Jounge about bar rooms and coffee houses than seek honest employ. ment Industry in any honest occupation in this country is sure to lead to a compe- teney.—N.

NEW SERIES. VOLUME VI—NUMBER 50. SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1850. THE RUINS OF NINEVEH. A correspondent of a London paper furnish. es the subjoined extracts from the letter of Mr. Stewart Erskine Rolland, who is now at Nim. roud with Captain Layard, assisting him in his endeavors to bring to light the hidden antiqua- rian treasures of Nineveh: “The first two or three days at Mossul I spent in examining the excavations at Koynni- jik, where fresh slabs are being every day brought to light. Two new collossal bulls and gi last heard from, (previous to the recep. of the present letter,) he was one of the | ‘shers of the Californian. He writes that | jy1000 abandoned this speculation. He con. | 3 his adventures for the present by being geked one day on Honolulu, and marrying | daughter of the chief of the village, on the | goving Sunday. But let him speak for him- a: ‘The papers were slow pay in those times. gisold out my interest and gained one or two jwand dollars, which I spent. Speculated a however, and did well—failed in some but made up on otbers. *0u the 9th of October last, in company seven, I left San Francisco ona visit to ‘Beautiful Islands,’ intending afierwards to to China, make our way overland to Rus- jm where I have an uncle, and thence to Eng. where I could take passage for home. On 28th, at noon, when we were within two sof the Harbor of Honolulu, it came on blow a gale. We stood off, and succeeded orrying the gale, but just as we were en- g the mouth of the harbor it came on to very hard from the north west, and in five utes we were hard and fast on the shore. I imbed to my chest for my dimes, and had bare. jwe to secure them when the hull parted, ed over and filled. I secured a spar, and g to it and the dust, like “ grim death toa eased African.” After being in the water ( three quarters of an hour, lashed by the 4and bruised by the spar, I gained the shore. kissed the earth where I first stepped and de- pained never to leave it. Having 65 pounds old dust about my person, beside three or hundred dollars in gold coin, | was com- oly aoe and turned in tor the night night it began to be) under a cocoanut tree, e I slept soundly until 12 or 1 o'clock.

I lad lost the only friends that [ have had since left my home. But tears are of no avail, so Imade up my mind to bear it, and to accept he offer of the chief and become his son. I weording!y, on my return to the village, in- bed the chief that I would accept his offer. He immediately introduced me to the fair one. | let name is Niaara (Mary.) She is of a light per color, fourteen years old, 5 feet 4 inches | high, small band and toot, black hair and eyes, ad above all very affectionate. Her dress toasisted of a faded blue satin skirt, coming & lower than the knee, mocasins and leggings, da curious wrought bead head dress. She vu by no means bashful, and none too modest. Se sat on my knee and kissed me, and when lusked her if she would marry me she said %, without the slightest hesitation, and ex- Messed a wish the ceremony should take place ®the following Sunday, saying that a mission- ty would be there on thatday. ‘ThisI agreed ly when she rewarded me with a kiss, and ran @ to ber father. “The following day I visited the capital and thased the wedding dresses for my lady and elf, together with some presents for the tribe on Sunday ‘we twain were made one ’ On Monday my father-in-law, at my re- Mast, set several men at work at getting out tec nut logs to build my house, and in the terse of ten days a very substantial dwelling, # feet front, 35 feet deep, and 25 feet high was tad ia the village, all the others being built of Mdand mud. The chief is very much pleased Wh it, and I hope that within a year the whole will be of log houses. I have offered to fish axes and other tools, and I think the na- es will build themselves better houses. Sad think that mine is a peculiar happy lot, af. ® so long a struggle with the world— poor as ‘rat,’ —sticking type for a living—to be cast “hore with a pocket full of rocks among friend- tavages, in this lovely climate. “Tam still a good Whig, and if my second lurns out to be a boy, he shall be called ty Clay.

Republican states that Mr. Her- Words Fawn Township, was in York on %0 wiid pigeons, which had been taken & net. One person in Lancaster caught a ‘to, * and two collossal figures were discovered while I was there, at the entrance of the city gates ; and the pavement at the gateway, marked with ruts by chariot wheels, was alsouncovered. I left my wife under Mrs. Rassam’s care, and ac- companied Layard a day’s journey to the vil- lages of Baarshekah and Bamyaneh, and to the Mound of Khorsabad. We took greyhounds with us, and had a day’s hunting, catching se- ven antelopes. After our return, Mr. Layard Charlotte, and [, and our servants embarked on a raft, and floated down the Tigris in seven hours to this little village of Nimroud. close to the large mound, which was the first excavated, sending our baggage and horse by land. We have since been residing in his house here; it is, in fact, little more than a mud hut; but he has put in glass windows, a table, and some sofas, and made it comfortable as circumstan- ces will admit. “ Layard placed a party of workmen under my control, and allowed me to dig where I please. [am sinking wells in all directions, and am not without hopes of discovering sub- terranean chambers, which I am convinced must exist. In one place, considerably below the level of any of the hitherto discovered monu- ments, a brick arch between two walls of brick has been dicovered; itis a puzzle to us all.— Another great discovery is an immense stone wall of most solid masonry inside the brick py- ramid. The workmen are laboring to force an entrance into it; but their progress is necessa- rily very slow, not exceeding a foot or two in aday. But the greatest discovery yet made since the earth was first turned remains Ieped in on some mats, where I slept soundly | to be told. I will give it you in due order.— You must recollect that I commenced my let- ter on Christmas day, and am continuing it at intervals. “ January 3, 1850—On the 28th of Decem. ber Layard and I, with our attendants and two or three Arab Sheikhs, started to pay a visit to the * Tai,’ on the other side of the ‘ Zab.’ We were the first Europeans who had ever visited that country. Three hours galloping from Nim- roud brought us to the banks of the stream, which is as rapid and broad as the Tigris, and nearly as deep, but here, being divided into four branches, is fordable. With some diffi. culty we swam our horses across it, getting of course very wet in the operation. Our visit here has a threefold object—first, to explore He is of high | fevas very polite, spoke English fluently, of. | | “After this interview I went down to the | lok after the wreck, but nothing could be seen | av the spar on which | cameashore.

He is probably the man of most ancient descent in the world, reckoning his genealogy far above ‘the time of Abraham. He is supported in his | pretensions to the chieftainship by the noblest | of the tribe, while bis rival, Feras, is support- | ed by the Turks and the greater number of the | Tai. His brother, the handsomest man I have | ever seen, came out to meet us with one hun- dred horsemen, most of whom had come to our village to plunder the otherday. They gallop. ed madly about the plain, brandishing their long spears, shouting their war-cry, and escort- ed us in great state to the camp of the Sheikh, | where he stood to receive us. I never saw so _noble or dignified a figure; he is eminently | handsome, though advanced in years and suf. fering from ill-health. In stature he is gigan- ic, six feet four or five at least, and erect as a pine tree. His tent was a spacious one. a load for three camels, with the women’s tents on one side, and that of the horses on the other, all under the same covering. Mats and cush- ions were spread on the floor of the tent, on which the Hawar, Layard, and I sat, as did his brother, his uncle, and others of the magnates of the tribe, while the rest stood in a semicir- cle at the door. A noble bunting hawk stood on his perch in the centre. We partook of | spiced coffee, discussed the business on which | we came, and dined in the tent on a capital | stew of mutton, pumpkins, rice, and sour milk. After we had partaken, the rest of the tribe made their repast, a certain number sitting down together, each man rising when he was satisfied, and a sort of master of the ceremo- monies calling out the name of the man who was to succeed him. There was no bustle or indecorum. After dinner they all said their | prayers. We had sent on our tents, which, by | the way, got very wet crossing the river, and we pitched them close to that of the Sheikh — The next day the encampment changed its quarters. I have seldom seen a more pictur. esque sight. ‘The Sheikh’s tent was struck first, and the procession of laden camels, horse- men, donkeys, and cattle stretched as far asthe eye could reach. I calculated that there were about two thousand persons, with their camels, ‘horses and cattle. We paid our visit to Feras the rival Sheikh, taking with us the brother of the Hawar. We were well received, though not with the same dignified courtesy. “ While we were away the workmen had opened a trench, by Layard’s direction, to show my wife a certain slab which he had buried ; in doing so they uncovered three copper cal- drons of immense size, and some huge dishes of metal. Layard carefully removed the earth from one ealdron, which was partially filled with it, and discovered an immense variety of ivory oraments, an iron exe-head, and innumer. able other articles, which for the present I must forbear to mention, having promised se- crecy. Lavard removed as many as he could and covered the rest with earth. It is by far the most important discoygry that has yet been made. He has placed t under my charge, | | | | t | | | |. and given me the direction of the workmen, as he is obliged to go to Mossul to make prepara- tions for the removal of the two finest colossal lions that have yet been discovered, which will I trust, be.on their way to England in a month or two. After that we shall cross the Zab with our tents, encamp there, and pass our time alternately in hunting and digging in the mound, “You can have no idea of the difficulties Layard has to contend with, or the energy, tal- ent, perseverance, and shrewdness with which he surmounts them, or the exquisite tact and good humor with which he manages the differ- ent people he has to deal with. In the first place he has nothing but conjecture to guide him in his researches; it is literally groping in the dark, and all sorts of buried treasures may lie within his reach, while, from the very small amount of funds placed at his disposal, he is unable to make any thing like a proper search,and contents himself with sinking trench- es almost at hazard as it were. “ Jan. 6.—Yesterday we removed more than thirty metal vases, bowls, and saucers, most beautifully embosed and engraved, some shields and swords, of which the handles remain alone the iron blades being decomposed, and a small marble vase. ‘The cups and bowls and other ornaments are of some unknown alloy of met- als, but they are all so encrusted with decom. posed and crystallized copper, and so fragile, that they cannot be handled without great dan- ger, and Mr. Layard is sending them home in the state in which he found them,.without at- tempting to remove the rust. “T spent eight hours yesterday scratching them out of the clay with my hands, as the operation was too delicate to allow even a knife to be used. My wife was employed the whole night in packing them. We may. now con. gratulate the British nation is being possessed of an entirely anique collection, the value of which is inestimable. The ornaments and sculptures on the vases denote a very advanced stage of civilization. Not the least curious of the discoveries are several hundred mother-o’- pearl studs, in form exactly resembling our shirt buttons.”’ The London Times, of a later date than the number which contained the above letter, says : * Very late and highly satisfactory accounts have within these few days been received from Mr. Layard, in Assyria, giving intelligence of new and important discoveries in the Nimroud mound. He has made fresh and exten-ive ex- cavations in parts of the eminence not yet ex- plored, and the result has been the finding of nothing less than the throne upon which the monarch, reigning about three thousand years ago, sat in his splendid palace. It is composed of metal and ivory, the metal being richly wrought, and the ivory beautifully carved. It does not appear in what part of the edifice this discovery has been made, but it seems that the throne was separated from the state apartments by means of a large curtain, the rings by which it was drawn and undrawn having been pre- served. At the date of these advices (the be- ginning of last month) Mr. Layard was pur- suing his researches with renewed ardor in consequence of the astonishing success that has hitherto attended his exertions. No human re- main’ aave come to light, and every thing in- dicates the destruction of the palace by fire.— It is said that the throne has been partially fused by the heat.” Union Meeting in Staunton.—the citizens of Augusta county assembled in Staunton on the 25th of March last, to consider the subject of sending delegates to the Nashville Convention. A series of resolutions were adopted, positive- ly declining to be represented in that conven- tion, and disapproving the action of the Virgin- nia Legislature upon the same. as not coming properly within the limits of its jurisdiction.— The minority report, which was in favor of a representation in the convention, was lost by a vote of more than ten to one. Winchester (Va.) Republican. The Medical College.—Such is the anxiety of the public to see the spot where the late awful tragedy was enacted, that free access to the Medical College, in North Grove street, has been granted to multitudes by the proper authorities. About one thousand persons visi- ted the institution yesterday, and before night- fall probably more than that number will have visited it to-day, for the special purpose of in- specting the apartments formerly occupied by the unfortunete Professor Webster. Officer O. H. Spurr is in attendance to preserve pro- per decorum, and to make any explanations which may be required.— Boston Journal. The Weeping Cypress.—This splendid tree has been introduced into England from the east. Imagine an evergreen weepipg- willow, with compact habit and feathering foliage, like the litle cypress vine, and you will have some conception of this tree as we have seen it de- scribed. If our little plant of four inches, which has just reached us, at a cost of some ten dollars, ever makes itself into a tree, we can perhaps describe it better from personal knowledge. There can be little doubt howev- er, that it will prove one of the greatest acqui- sitions to our list of hardy evergreens. American Agriculturist. EXTREME OF DEMAGOGUISM. Ata meeting held in the city of Charleston, to give expression to the public feeling on the death of Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Memminger seized the occasion to inflame the passions of those present on the sectional question with which Mr. Calhoun was connected up to the time of his death. And, as was to have been expect- ed, he succeeded but too well. He introduced resolutions, which were adopted, to assemble in mass meeting the next day to take measures for sending delegates to the Nashville Conven- tion. This is the most exquisile specimen of dem. agogery we recoHect to have noticed.

In the year 1800, an eminent physician of Dublin, who had his residence in the country, but ren- ted rooms in the city, to which he came daily at ten o’clock, came one morning at the usual hour and was obliged to rap three times, the last time very loud, before the door was apened. It was at length o- pened, by a young man, but not before the physician had attracted by his knocking the attention of a lady living on the oppo- site side of the street. The young man who opened the door, passed out suddenly which caused the physician to step into the kitchen tosee if anything was the matter, when he found the servant girl in the agonies of death. The jugular vein of her neck was pierced with a kniting needle, with which she had been at work. The Physician took her in his arms and carried her to his room, in order to restore her, if possible. In carrying her, bis clothes became spotted with blood. Finding he could do nothing for her, he changed his clothes, and went out to attend an urgent patient. The lady who had observed him knocking at the door, noticed his hasty departure from the house, and having both curiosity and sus- picion aroused, caused the house to be entered, and the physician’s room opened, when the dead body was discovered. The physician was arrested, tried, condemned and executed. The strongest evidence against him, was that of a surgeon of em- inence, who testified that no one but 3 surgeon could have inflicted the wound in so precise and scientific a manner. When called for his defence, the physi- cian said, were he on the Jury, he should decide such a case as his guilty, but de- clared before God and the world, that he was innocent of the crime imputed to him. Twenty years after his execution, a man on his death-bed confessed that the phys- ician was innocent. He said that he was a lover of the girl. andj;was in the habit of visiting her mornings; that on the mor- ning of her death, she bade him go away as the Doctor’s hour was near, and he told her he would go after she gave him a kiss. In attempting to kiss her, she playfully raised ber hand to push him, when the needle which she held perforated the vein of ber neck. Hearing the physician's knock at the door, he hastened to Jet him in and escaped himself, and hearing of the physician’s arrest, feared to come for- ward and explain least he should be tried. Thus, a judicial murder was done, upon the evidence of a professional man, who was altogether mistakea.—_V. Y. Globe. MANUFACTURE OF BROGANS. We were surprised to observe a statement in the N. York Courier that even in that city, where manufactures of all sorts are so exten- sively carried on, they have been dependent for their supplies of coarse brogans, upon the same sources as ourselves. Massachusetts has de- luged the South with this article, in fact enjoy- ing the entire monopoly of the trade. In the city of New York too, she has been, till now, without competition. No wonder they are able to give employment to sixty thousand people, and receive for the products of their labor the round sum of twenty millions of dollars per an. num ! We perceive from the Courier that N. York has resolved to strike for independence of this branch of New England manufactures. A joint stock company has been formed in that city to introduce the manufacture of brogans and sim- ilar articles, and the hope is expressed that it may be the means of employment to youths of both sexes who are now leading a life but little removed from vagrancy in that city. It is al- so to be hoped the effort will succeed. Indeed it can hardly be doubted that it will. It is succeeding in the South. But it will necessa- rily be a long time before we shall be entirely e- mancipated from our dependence upon the Lynn shoemakers for our supplies of brogans. It appears from investigations instituted into the Massachusetts manufactories of shoes that boys ten years old and under, earn from 31 to 42 cents a day, boys from 10 to 17, in the ini- tiatory stages, earn from 50 to 75 cents, and af. ter two month’s training, one dollar to two and a half per day, according to their expertness; girls, from 10 to 16, earn 31 to 50 cents per day, and women 75 cents, and frequently more. Mobile Register. Interesting from Liberia.—Letters received from Monrovia, by the Colonization Society of New York, represent the Republic in a flour. ishing condition.

This is increasing rapidly in population and comercial im ; its inhabitants are estimated, in- cluding the ranches around it, at from five to six thousand. The sugar crop for this year is estimated at 10,000 hhds., and in five years from this time at $25,000, and in ten years the Texas sugar crop=will exceed that of Louisi- ana.

GAZETTEER OF NORTH CAROLINA. We most cheerfully give place to the follow. ing circular to the public of North Carolina, by C. H. Wier, Esq., asking assistance in collecting materials for a Gazetteer of the State. In our judgment, just such a work as he propo. ses would be of great value in explaining and developing the condition and resources of our State—matters towards which popular inquiry is beginning to be earnestly and seriously di- rected from all quarters. Mr. Wiley has let- ters from gentlemen occupying the highest po- htical, literary and social positions in the State, expressing their sense of the importance of the proposed work, and entire confidence in his ability to accomplish it in a manner creditable Mr. W. has al- ready achieved a literary character, which we know he is desirous of employing to the advan. tage of his native State; and encouragement of the kind he asks at this juncture would be most grateful and cheering to him, besides be. ing a contribution pro bono publico.—Greens- boro’ Patriot. TO THE PUBLIC. The undersigned is endeavoring to collect materials for a GazeTTEER cF Norta Caro: LINA; a work whose object will be to present to the public an accurate historical, geographi- cal and statiseal account of the State. He is impressed with the belief that sucha work, if properly executed, will serve a useful purpose ; that it will furnish the best refutation of the ca- lumnies heaped on the Commonwealth—will have some effect in correcting those sectional prejudices which, from the beginning, have ex. ercised a baneful influence in the councils of the State—that while it strengthens the attach. ment of the patriotic to their home, it may help to stay that tide of emigration on account of which North Cavolina has been heretofore but a nursery for other States. Nature has denied to this region those navi- gable waters which bind together the extremes of other States and tempt the inhabitants to great enterprises ; but as if to make up for this neglect, she has bountifully supplied it with ev. ery kind of agricultural and mineral produc. tion, and all varieties of pleasant and beautiful climate and of grand and beautiful scenery.— These things, however, cannot be here known by the intermingling of the population on the cheap high-ways of commerce ; brooks must, therefore, supply the place of rivers, and schol- ars, authors and school-masters act as explor- ers. The undersigned believes that others will concur in these views; and is permitted to hope that the public will contribute its part to- wards the success of the enterprise in which he is engaged. The work of a man’s own hands is dearer to him than a gifi which is the handiwork of another ; and those who help to make a great State experience a satisfaction to which emi- grants are ever strangers. Besides, the ex- penses and the sacrifices caused by the emi- gration from North Carolina for the last twenty years, would, if judiciously invested in public works, have made the State a garden and have brought a market to every county; thus, these self-exiled children of our Commonwealth would have made a better State than those to which they have gone,—would have been enabled to live in ease among the scenes of their child. hood,—to have encountered the infirmities of age among their own people, and mingled their dust with that of their kindred in their Father- and. Such are some of the considerations which have prevented the undersigned from seeking his fortune in other States; and such consid. erations, he hopes, are beginning to weigh on the public mind. . He, therefore, respectfully invites special at. tention to the notice of the work on which he is engaged; and requests that those who can will communicate such information as may as- sist him in his undertaking. Histurical noti- ces of counties and towns—accounts of pecu- liarities of climate and soil, of water-powers, mining operations, and remarkable yields in farming—and statistics of the wealth, produc. tions, and exports of different places will be gratefully received. He would also be glad to get descriptions of the harbours, sand-bars and inlets along the coast—and would be much gratified with views and sketches of scenery in this region, in the mountains, or in any other interesting localities. He desires that all com- munications be signed with a real name ; and, as his correspondence is very extensive and onerous, that his friends will be considerate in regard to postage. : He would earnestly remind those to whom he has sent circular letters of the importance of letting him hear from them in some way, so that he may not be deceived: and finally, asks of that most obliging and public-spirited of all classes, the Editors in North Carolina, to give this notice an insertion in their papers.— He hopes that every Editor in the State will be kind enough to comply with this request ; tor every paper has readers who do not take any other paper who are able to furnish some ot the information desired. The writer’s address is Greensboro’, N. C. April, 1550. C. H. WILEY. Appreciation of Honesty.—The New Orleans Picayune relates how a gentle- man of that city lost a pocket-book con- taining eleven thousand dollars ; bow it was found by a boy who at once deter- mined to restore it to its rightful owner?; and having done so, and the owner, hav- ing satisfied himself that be had recovered all his money, magnanimonsly thurst his hand into his pocket and drew forth a whole dollar, which he generously bestow- ed on the astonished youth !

And it is equally evident, that shis es. citement is fed by this class of agitators that may ultimately effect a dissolution of the Union. We have not, therefore, been astonished at the call of a Convention, the direct effect of which intelligent men cannot fail to discover, will be to hasten the dissolution of the Usien. But we do confess, that we haze watched, with fear and anxiety, the people of the States, as they have taken action upon this momentous question. But now our fears have evapdrated and our anrieties cease to exist. This call for a Convention, so unholy ia its purposes and so untimely in its period of assembling, bas serv. ed but to exhibit the lofiy patriotism of the peo. ple and the utter fully of the attempt of altraiate to dissever this Republic, consolidated by the efforts of that immortal band, who with the mightiness of the British nation, and bore from the contest the waving banners of triumph. Disunion will never lose its harsh sound—patriotism shudders as it falls upon its ear—and the descendants of a band of illustri- ous men, whose names are conspicuously em graven upon the records of history, as a band of unterrified and devoted patriots, will never, can never, cease to venerate their memories and to make unremitting efforts to hand down their achievements to the most remote generation. The people of this confederacy will preserve “the union of the States,” as the highest protection to “ the Rights of the States.” They do not desire disunion—they ask not for a change of Constitution. This they evince by their repudiation of that Convenion, favored by ultra Southerners and imprudent slavehold- ers. The people, a great majority of the peo- ple, have repudiated the Nashville Convention. They have frowned upon the effort, and have refused to countenance the assembling of such a body, by withholding from it the members which they have been asked to furnish. Does Southern demagogues want a higher rebuke 7 Does Southern fanaticism need more to cool its ardor and restore its reason? The Nashville Convention has been impru- dently called. The advocacy of such a meds- ure istinctured with ultraism, and we fear that the assembling of a body of this character will be as far from promoting the interest of the South, as, we know, it will be detrimental to the prosperity of the Union. We conceive that the friends of the measure have proceeded upon conclusion which are incorrect and based upon error. If we understand its object cor- rectly, they are to effect the equilibrium of Southern power and to prevent Northern in- fringement upon Southern rights. How cana Southern Convention effect this result? Will it dare to usurp the power of the General Go. vernment and to act as the legislative body of the South? Reason has not been so complete- ly lost in ultraism as to recommend this step. What, then, can it do? It surely will not ree sist the action of Congress, for this would be rebellion. But it will remonstrate with the North. And must the South remonstrate! If the rights of the South have been infringed, if the privileges of the South, as guarantied by the Constitution, have not been respected by the North, should not remonstrate. She has a legal and intelligent tribunal, to which she can and should carry her appeal. ‘The Con. gress of the United States has not yet, by ite action, infringed upon the guarantied rights of the South. And being permitted to judge her future course by the present indication, the ef- forts of that body will be directed to the main. tenance of the Constitution. It being sustain. ed, the South is protected. But it is urged, that the Convention should assemble to demon- strate to the North, that the South will respect and maintain her rights, though at the sacri- fice of the Union. Now, with all respect te those who urge this reason, we must be per- mitted to say that it is an imputation upon the South—we do not, indeed, say that it is intend. ed as such, but we do say that such is its ten- dency. Now suppose that it ie necessary for the South to demonstrate to the North thet she will resist encroachments. This necessi- ty for the demonstration argues but little for her past course. Ii, in her past course, she had been firm and devoted to her rights, and had clung to them with unflinching attachment, then the North would need no demonstration. But whether this reasoning be an imputation upon the South or not, it is heyond doubt true, that we need not a Nashville Convention te demonstrate to the North our devotedness to the rights of the South, as guarantied in the Constitution. If there be a necessity for this demonstration, it can be made—and made without the aid of a Convention. There is not now. and never wil] be, an occasion upon which the South will need a demonstration, composed merely of words. -The course of the South, the position of the South, upon the ques- tions now being agitated between her and her sister States, is demonstration enough. The North asks no greater demonstration—she will respect only such a demonstration. The South has resolved until] Northern members of Con- gress tell us with sneers, that they know the value of Southern resolutions. We have made wordy demonstrations; now let the South de- monstrate with acts. And does the North want more thanthis? Surely when a vigorous and manly opposition, made by a course of ac- tion, proves futile, words can add no weight. Yet, afier all, the Nashville Convention will be held, but held with no benefit. The action of Congress will, in all probability, forestall all necessity for action by that body. And we will be presented with the novel sight of men cs- sembied to remonstrate against grievancies which have been remedied.—Lynch. Virginian, ,: chy tte - prevent tt : no Boldly avowed.—Whatever may be said by some of the edvocates of the Nashville Conven. tion, as to its ulterior objects, (says the Mo. bile Advertiser,) the desire and necessity of - holding it to save the Union, we have, in the article taken from the Fairfield (S.

Mr. Foote, in some remarks whieh he dd¢ Un Tuesday, urging the immediate Sppeticanent of his committee of thirteen, made the°following amusiig allusion to one of the evidences of the return of con- ciliatory sentiments in the North: Sir, before concluding, 1 propose, by way of relieving somewhat the gravity of dis- cussion, to suggest that there is something like a unanimous public sentiment upon this qacstion, and upon all material points connected’ therewith. With a view to show this to be the fact, I will read a very short extract from what I hold in my hand. There was a large public meeting the other day in the city of New York, assem- bled-under the most interesting auspices, and for highly interesting purposes. It was a birth day celebration, and the as- semblage was composed of as intelligent and as patriotic men as ever assembled | together, among whom a free interchange of opinion took place upon various pend- ing questions. Thereseems to have been quite a unan- imous opinion touching two points, both of which are embraced in the motion which I have had the honor to submit, and for the consideration of which | have now asked—that is to say, the raising the com- mittee of thirteen and the blending of the measure of Californian admission with that for the establishment of territorial governments. Asa striking evidence of the prevailing sentiment on the occasion I beg leave to recite a single stanza from a song that was sung with general, and almost acclamative approbation. | shall read only one stanza, as the rest of the song is far too complimentary to that member of our body who has heen felici- tiously styled the Nestor of the Senate |, [Mr. Clay] to be read in his immediate presence. Mr. face (in bis seat.) Sing it.—- {Laugbter. | Mr. Foote. I shall not sing it; but I will read it as well as I am able to do.— The concluding stanzas runs thus, and, though somewhat deficient in geographi- cal accuracy, in sentiment will be found most excellent : “Dispated questions in one bill Should pass without delay ; { Drop party strife for country’s good — ( So all the people gay ; t For in the question to refer, H. Cray did not forget To put in California, Utah and Deseret.” [Laughter.] New Mexico, I presume, they intended to say, instead of Deseret or Utah. I conceive to be the most authentic mani- festation of the public sentiment which I | have recently encountered. [Laughter.] |, I therefore insist upon it that this subject shall be acted upon immediately—in the words of the song “without delay.” I trust that the Senator from New Jersey [Mr. Dayton] will defer to the sentiment of the country, so eloquently and even po- etically expressed, and let what “all the people say” be done and done “without delay.” A Sign in old Massachusetts.— A year ago a set of Wilmot Proviso resolutions passed the Massachusetts Legislature with only one dissenting voice. In the Senate, on Taesday last, Mr. Buckingham presen- ted a memorial from 577 persons, asking the Legislature to instruct Mr. Webster to vote for the insertion of the Wilmot Proviso in the new Territorial bills, and against the bill of Mr. Mason, concerning fugitive slaves. Mr. Hilliard opposed the reference of this paper to any com- mittee, and, on motion of Mr. Hazen, it was laid on the table by a vote of 45 toll. | Caught ta the Act.—We saw a funny spectacie the other day. A dozen omni- buses, with their live freight, were about starting on a Pic-nic, when a youug wo- man ran hastily up and said to a gentle- man of the party, who had just seated himself cosily by the side of a pretty girl: “Here, sir, | want to know what right you have to be going on Pic-nics, and your wife and child at home ?” “Hush, Mary.” whispered the gentle- man, hastily getting out of the omnibus, “bush, the people will hear you.” “Who cares if they do! Why didn’t you think of the people, or of me, or your child, instead of running off to pic-nics, with other women ?” “Well—there-now— don’t—” “But I will though!

Mr. Benton called for the yeas and nays on each proposition. Mr. Foote rose and commenced a speech by saying that in consequence of what had taken place in the Senate a short time since, he should abstain from replying to any thing which had fallen from a certain quarter. He then eulo- gised Mr. Calhoun, whose death the whole country mourned, and proceeded to argue in defence of the Southern Address. He said the signers of that address would live in the hearts of the people of the country when their calum.- niators would be consigned to infamy. Who, said Mr. F., calumniated those signers? A gentleman—who styles himself the oldest Sen- ator in that body—the Father of the Senate— [At this moment, Mr. Benton rose from his seat, stepped into the lobby, and advanced, ap. parently with an intent to attack Mr. Foote, towards the seat of Mr. F., which was distant trom his own about twenty feet. As he ap- proached Mr. F,. the later glided from his desk tbrough one of the small aisles into the area in front of the Secretary's desk, drawing from his person as he did soa large pisiol, which he held in his hand. The Vice President and | adjourned.

Mr. Benton demanded that the Senate take cognizance of this attempt to assassinate him in the Senate; of this attempt to assassinate him on the false pretext that he was armed, an attempt to assassinate him on the same false pretext that every cowardly assassin used who wants to make out a case of self-defence. That was the pretext of every assassin. Mr. Foote said the Senator was advancing upon him in a threatening and menacing man- ner, and, supposing he was armed, he (Mr. F.) had lefi the crowded spot he was in, and sought one where he would have bad more elbow. room. If he had supposed that the person ad- vancing to attack him was not armed, he would never have drawn the pistol. Mr. Hale said that as a transaction of this character had taken place, it should not pass by without an investigation by the Senate. Mr. Borland thought that rather than resort to an investigation, it was better to say as little as possible. He did not think that there was any danger on foot at all. [Laughter. ] Mr. Foote said that so far as he was concern. ed he begged to be heard. He knew his own heart and intentions; he knew something of his own character. He had nothing of the as- sassin about him. So help him God! he came here with the intention to settle the great ques. tions in such manner as would conduce to the happiness of the country. He begged that the | affair might be investigated. If it could be proved, by circumstances or declarations, in any shape cr form, that he armed himself, to attack the Senator from Missouri ; or, if there was any thing to sustain even the charge of a suspicion, then he would be willing to be ex. pelled from the Senate, to a seat of which he would be unworthy. He only wore arms, a single pistol, because he had been informed it was likely he would be attacked. He had sim. ply prepared for his own defence. He repeat- ed as an honorable Senator, that, so far as he was concerned, there was not the least ground for suspicion. He begged an investigation, for his own personal honor. Mr. Mangum moved that a committee of se- ven be appointed to investigate the outrage per- petrated in the Senate. Mr. Clay called upon the Senators from Mis- souri and Mississippi either to go voluntarily before a Justice of the Peace, and enter into bonds to keep the peace ; or to pledge them. selves to the Senate not to prosecute the quar. rel farther during the present session of the Senate. Mr. Benton (emphatically) said he had done nothing on God Almighty’s earth to provoke a breach of the peace. He would rot in jail be. fore he would give a promise that- would leave him in such a predicament. It was lying and cowardly to impute to him the bearing of arms, and making use of that to justify his assassina- tion. M:. Clay said that his observation was not to th. past, but tothe future. He simply wish. ed Senators to take an obligation as to the fu- ture. Mr. Foote had only this to say. He was a Constitution-loving man ; he knew he had con. stitutional rights, and was capable of maintain- ing them. He never threatened a human be- ing in his life. He never executed a threat. He never wore arms to make an attack. He never wore arms; but, when he was menaced and threatened with the cudgel, he was advis- ed by friends to wear arms for his own defence, as he was aman of small statue and not in very good health. He accordingly armed him. self, supposing it possible that he might be at. tacked after what had then orcurred. Having the constitutional right to bear arms, he would exercise the right. The resolution offered by Mr. Mangum was finally adopted, and the Senate then adjourned. THURSDAY’S PROCEEDINGS. Wasninetcn, April 18, P. M. Senate.—Messrs. Dodge of Wisconsin, Webster, King, Phelps, Rusk, Bell and Shields, were appointed the committee to investigate the disturbance of yesterday. Mr. Dodge was excused from serving on the committee. Mr. Benton moved to postpone all other bu- siness, and take up the California bill. Mr. Yulee raised a point of order, and the | the motion was ruled out of order. Mr. Benton then moved to take up the Cali. fornia bill. Mr. Clay moved to lay Mr. Benton’s motion on the table. and the motion was carried. On Mr. Foote’s motion, the resolution for the compromise committee was taken up. Mr. Benton moved to lay it on the table. This motion was lost—ayes 24, noes 29. Mr. Benton then asked that question be tak. en on his fourteen instructions to the commit- tee. The yeas and nays were taken on each sep. arately, and all rejected. Mr. Hamlin’s motion to except California from the reference was rejected. Mr. Walker’s motion to except from refer. ence all relating to fugitive slaves, was reject. ed. Mr. Hale moved to refer to the committee all abolition petitions now on the table. The motion was ruled out of order. The question was then taken on the motion to refer Mr. Bell’s and Mr. Clay’s resolutions the committee of thirteen and carried—yeas 31, nays 25. The election of the committee was postposed til] to-norrow, and the Senate House or REpresENTATIVES.— The new Clerk was qualified.

SOUTHERN CONVENTION IN GA. We stated, last week, that the election of delegates to the Southern Convention, from Georgia, had proved a failure, there not being more than one voter out of 20 who appear to feel any interest in the subject. The following returns from a number of counties, heard from, will give the reader a correct idea of the public feel- ing in that State. = FURTHER RETURNS FROM GEORGIA. As chroniclers of passing events (says the Southern Banner) we give to our readers such returns of the election of Delegates tothe Nash. ville Convention as we can glean from our ex- changes and other sources. We have stated in our last the aggregate vote of this county to be 27 out of 1,000 votes. Nor for the other counties : In Richmond the vote was about 120 out of 1,200. Oglethrope, no vote. Wilkes, no vote. Madison, no vote. Floyd. the vote was 53 out of about 1.300. Pike, (Griffin precinct) 29 out of about 500. Cass, 100 wut of about 2,400. Cobb, 126 out of 2,000.

A thousand rumors are afloat prejudi- cial to President Taylor and his Cabinet, all concurring, however, in one thing, to wit: There is to be a change: the pre- sent Cabinet is to be removed and another selected. The “ Republic” and “ Nation- al Intelligencer,” both meet these rumors with a flat contradiction, and assert that so far as is known, the utmost harmony between the Executive and his Cabinet members exists. The outs are playing a strong game against the Administration, and all manner of stories and falsehoods are trumped up and circulated to em- barrass its operations. But we have no fears for the President. The man who asks no favors and shrinks from no re- sponsibility, is not to be moved from duty by the howling of a hungry pack of office seekers. i> The Cheraw Gazette asks us several questions in relation to Mr. Stanly and his late speech, (which that paper says will sink him tothe “ very bottom” of ‘« political perdition,” &c.,) which we will answer very candidly. To the first question, we answer, that we really be- lieve Mr. Stanly’s speech as published is substantially the same as the one delivered, and when we character- ised the attacks made upon him by certain presses as gross and slanderous, it was not intended to be under- | stood as “ idle twattle.” To the second enquiry we have to say. we attempted no labored justification of Mr. Stanly as at first reported, but only pointed at the savage attacks of his enemies. Entertaining confidence in that gentleman both as to his devotion to the South and his ability to discern be- | tween right and wrong, and also in his virtue and cour- | age, we felt it our duty to await the appearance of his speech in an authentic form. When it came to hand, it | proved all we expected it would prove, to wit: that Mr. | S. had only uncovered the deformity of his political | adversaries. To the third interrogatory of the Gazette, we inform | that paper, that Mr. S. is no sneak; and if the editor had known much of the character of Mr. S. he would never have supposed that he could, under any pressure | of circumstances, (and in this case there was no pres- sure) have cowardly backed out from any position he had openly taken. Now if the Gazette pleases, we will catechise it a_ little. We dave danced while it piped, we now call to, our feliow, let him not refuse : Do you believe that Mr. Stanly would desert the South in a real case of emergency as between it and the North? | Do you believe he spoke his true sentiments when he | expressed himself thus: | “My affections, my, interest, my daty, all bind me | with hooks of steel to my home. The graves of my forefathers, for several generations, are there ; the dear- | est friends I have on earth are there ; there I expect to | live, and there I hope to die; and whatever calamity | may come, their fate will be my fate —“ their God will be my God.” Do you believe that South Carolina is more loyal to the Constitution than her Southern sisters? How are you pleased with the result of the election in Georgia for delegates to the Southern Convention ? Do you believe that Convention will do ‘any good? Don’t you think it would be best to wait the action of Congress—to exhaust every eonstitutional remedy for the grievances of which the South gomplains, before re- sorting to-extreme measures 7 _ | lature to instruct Mr. Webster to vote for the _ insertion of the Wilmot Proviso in the se | Territorial bills, and against the bill of Mr. _right.

We venture the assertion that any nomination the President may make off © him, if it be Foreign, will secure the en } tire democratic strength of the Senate. hg Let him go and stay.” 7 We have been well satisfied, for a long time, that Mr. Stanly was most feared } all the able Whigs in the Easterm part of the State. He is, perhaps, the hardeif man to beat that the Democrats in tho parts ever run against ; and if they could re only get rid of bim they would be Thea happiest set of fellows in the State. Wel® hope Mr. Stanly won't oblige them by [iigim leaving the country, if he should have the Im ™ chance. From the New York Express. THE NORTH AND SLAVERY. The States and Legislature of the North are taking the back track upon the slavery que lion, ata pace which ought to satisfy every reasonable, and almost every unreasonable, man at the South,—albeit, there are some (bere who will not be satisfied with anything short of dishonor and abandonment of every principle of mutual right. The true friends of the Con stitution and the Union, however, must no! sup pose that because so much is done for conce® sion, compromise, and Union, that the Nor will go beyond what is required under the Com stitution, and from a feeling of good neighbor. hood and fraternal obligation. ‘Thus far, and no further, all of us ought to be willing 10 go. We note, then, among the recent action of the free States the rejection of a bill in one branch of the Ohio Legislature, refusing to pass more stringent jaws for the escape of fugitive slaves. In Connecticut, also, at the last sitting of the Legislature, there was a refusal to re-enact the Wilmot Proviso. The Legislature ot Penn sylvania, by a strong vole, have postponed set of Wilmot Proviso resolutions to a day be yond the expiration of the session. The Penn sylvania House of Representatives, by a vole of 50 to 29, has passed a bill repealing certaim objectionable sections of the law of 1847, 'e prevent the recovery of fugitive slaves. Ie Rhode Island, the Free Soil candidate for Gov ernor, at the recent election, received Jess than 200 votes in the whole State; and in Massa- chusetts, where a year ago the Wilmot Provi- so resolutions passed the Legislature with only one dissenting voice,—in the Senate only 0a Tuesday last, Mr. Buckingham presented & memorial from 277 persons, asking the Legis Fi g o . 7 ER E Se c e s 2 ° 2 ~“ » ae r .

He is about 5 feet 7 or & inches high ; broad shouldered, speaks a little slow, dish faced, and has a trembling in his hands when holding any thing ; rather bow legged. I think he can read print. I had anoth- er fellow who started off with Jolly to Ohio with free passes. Joily’s was a pass belonging to a free negro by the name of Wilson Smith, who had a genuine “certifi- cate signed W. Dismukes, clerk county court of Anson county, and certified by Wm. Johnson, Chairman of said Court, certified by the then Governor Edward B. Dudley. Said pass was found on Jolly in Moore coun- ty, and the man thought he was a free negro, and let him goon. About the 18th March last, a friend of mine knowing all about my negroes, pursued Jolly, and in company with three Virginia Wagoners, and took him. On his way back, Jolly made his escape, and no doubt but he will try and get another free pass from the same scoundrel that furnished him with the first. The other negro was committed to Moore county jail, and I have since got him. His free pass was written, and signed C."°W. Wooley, clerk county court of Mont- gomery, O.

It may be that that couterfeiter, Geasling, of Rockingham County, who was whipped and imprisoned at Wadesborough, wrote one of the passes. When he was discharged, he visited his particular friend, Simeon D.

It is generally admitted that the San has not dimin- ished in size though it has poured forth its light and heat into the regions of space for nearly 6,000 years: it always appears of the same size ; and its attraction on the planets is the same as formerly ; which would be lessened if its quantity of matter was diminished in any considerable degree. Light and heat are called impon- derable agents; but the fact that light suffers attrac- tion and reflection like particles of matter, and is ra- diated in straight lines tu vast distances, with almost incredible velocity, would seem to prove that it is ma- terial. The same would appear from some of the phe- nomena of heat. Now the Planet Atlass, lately discovered, in the frontier of our system, is 3600,000,000 of miles from the Sun. That is the Radius of its orbit ; double that and we will have the diameter; and multiply that sam by three, and we will have nearly the circumference of its orbit. Suppose this circle to revolve on its diameter, and we will describe a sphere, or globe, every part of whose surface is 3600,000,000 of miles from the Sun, in its centre. How much farther into the regions of space, the rays of our Sun travel, to meet the light of the fixed stars, we do not know, but we are sure that they fill every part of that hollow globe we have de- A.

It was there- fore, found necessary to swear a half bred Indian, to interpret the oath, into the Caw language, and by the two Caw Indians it was to be interpreted to the witness.— But the Indians seemed to be so profound ly ignorant of the nature of an oath. that after several ineffectual attemps to make them comprehend the object of the pro- ceeding, it was abandoned by the court.

The winter winds and storms are past, The surly blasts are blown, The voice of spring is heard at last, In blithe and joyous tone ; The little streams, from frost set free, With gladdening music sing ; The South wind comes with songs of glee To welcome in the Spring. The heart or earth its foliage wide Unfolds like summer’s rose ; Through wood and stream a quickening tide Of life and beauty flows ; ‘The light of May is on the sky, Its sunshine on the wing, While winter's shades and shadows fly To welcome in the Spring. The flowers are gently springing up On hillside and on Jawn, The daisy and the buttercup Breathe in the balm of morn; The rills and brooks soft answer make The birds on soaring wing, % The mingling strains of nature wake To welcome in the Spring. I list me to the cheering song Of robin and the wren, The mocking bird 4nd jocund throng Of warblers in the glen; The winds and zephyrs too rejoice, While every living thing On earth outpours a grateful voice To welcome in the Spring. ear art SHE CLUNG TO HIM. She clung to him with woman’s love, Like ivy to the oak; Whilst o’er his head, with crushing forces, Earth's chilling tempest broke. When the world looked cold on him, And blight hung o’er his name— She soothed his ares with woman’s love, And bade him rise again. When care had furrowed o’er his face, And blended his young hours, She wove among his crown of thorns A wreath of love’s own flowers. And never did the wreath decay, Or one bright flow’ret wither ; For woman’s tears e’er nourished them, That they might bloom forever. "Tis ever thus with woman’s love, True till life’s storms have passed, And, like the vine around the tree, It braves then till the last. “T tell you wat, Sam, I haba monstus ’spute wid masea this morning down in de cotton patch.” =“ You don’t sez so, wat you ’spute wid massa?” “Yes, [ tel! you, for one hour we 'spute togeder down in de cotton patch.” — * Wa.a-a, wal you ’spute about?” « Why, you see Sam, massa come down whar { was hoein, and massa he say squash grow best on sandy and I say so too: and dar we 'spute a. cage more’en one hour?” “My lor A lady promised to give her maid five dollars @s a marriage portion. to a man of low stature, and her mistress, on seeing him, was surprised, and said: “ Well.

Upon the assumption before made, that light is material, here is a demonstration of the infinite di- visibility of matter! For the Watchman. Perhaps no single Act of the last Legislature has at- tracted such general attention among the mass of the people, as that, amending the Militia Laws. This Act it is well known, exempts all persons over 35 years of age from military duty except in time of invasion or in- surrection. If the Legislature contemplated a gradu- al abandonment of the whole system of training and regimental organization in the passage of the Act re- ferred to, the plan has certainly succeeded. It should be observed in the first place that a large number of those whose talents and station in life would qualify them for Military Officers were exempted from duty previous to the passage of this Act by holding civil of- fices, as Justices of Peace, Clerks, Sheriffs, &c. &c. Add to the above the large number whose age and experience would qualify them for Military Officers who are exempted by this Act,—and in many districts we have only a handfull of inexperienced men left. And if any should possess the talent, they would have but little inducement to desire to command a company, when most of those whose age, experience, and steady bearing, gave the company drill some air of reputability have left it; considering too that in former times the company musters were not more than ten steps above the ridiculous. It is probable that as many men are liable to milita- ry duty between the ages of 30 and 35, as there were between the ages of 35 and 45, and those who are now within five years of the age which now exempt them, complain as much of the hardship of service as those whose fortune it wa: ‘o be relieved by the late Act, ever complained in their day, so that we have not les- sened the complaint ; we have only changed the com- plainers. In one of our small Regiments containing but seven companies, and about four hundred men; not less than fifty persons availed themselves of the benefit of the Act at the first opportunity, and many more would have done so, had the notice been more general. The consequence has been that the old officers resign- ed, and there is scarcely a commission in the Regiment twelve months old. And in some instances it is with great difficulty that any one can be induced to accept a commission. And by the way, why should the Re- gimental Court Martial be taxed with the additional burden of discharging the exempts on their oath? It is well known that many of the duties of that body have never been discharged properly for want of time and from other causes. It is evident that unless sume change should be made at the next meeting of the Assembly, that the whole system will go down in a few years: and I would re- | spectfully suggest that the Commanding Officer of each Regiment shonld bring the subject before his Court Martial for consideration, and let the result be sent up by their Representatives to the next Legislature or be spread before the public through the papers. CLARENCE. For the Watchman. A GREAT MISTAKE. We frequently hear from the pulpit, and elsewhere statements with regard to the space that wonld be oc- cupied on the globe by all the dead, at the general Re- surrection ; that there would not be room here for them all. But a few figures will show the contrary. Allow the present population of the globe to be 800,000,000 ; that it has always been the same; and that three gen- erations die off in a century: at the end of 6,000 years there will have come and gone 180 generations, amount- ing to 144,000,000,000: The number of square miles in the State of North Carolina is put down at 50,000: this reduced to square yards will be 166,400,000,000.— So that, on the above supposition, that the population has always been the same as now, and will continue so to the end of 6,000 years from the creation, all that will have died can have a square yard to stand uponin this State; and have 22,400,000,000 square yards to spare. VERITUS. For the Watchman. PURGATORY IS A HEATHEN NOTION. We find the following in Virgil’s Eneid at the 739th line. We quote from Dryden’s Translation : “ For this are various penances enjoined, And some are hung to bleach upon the wind ; Some plunged in waters, others plunged in fires, Till all the dregs are drained, and all the rust expires.” This is spoken of the souls in the lower world ; and it shows that Pasists, Mahommedans, and some others who hold to such absurd notions, have borrowed them from Pagan Poets and Philosuphers.

Many of the most eminent men of that denomi. nation are opposed to the alteration, for afer all it would be of no avail—the meaning of all disputed passages requiringto be settled, not by reference to translations, but to the o1 iginal Greek and Hebrew, And it is now (says the New Orleans Balletin) these very politicians who are apposed to the admission of California, because she has done exactly what they say she should have the liberty and right of doing. ? x dignity of the Indian character. Fast.—A Frenchman upon the road on “ Fast Day” told a boy to bold his horse Swift. “ Fast, you mean, don’t you, sir?” interro- gated the lad. “Vel, fast, den: mais, be gar, I no under- stand dis.” “There goes a fast horse !” exclaimed a by- stander, as streaked by a lively trotting nag. “ How is zat?” nervously inquired the aston. ished Frenchman ; zare is von horse fast, and he goes like zunder all de time; zare is my horse—he is fast, too and he no move.” “This is Fast Day, in reality, by the ap- pearance of the road,” said another. “Oh, I see den,” said Monsieur, “ vy dis is fast day: every ting is fast—de horse zat goes is fast, ze horse zat is tied is fast, and ze folks zat eat nothing and eat it slow is fass.

But if they did not, why should Governor Manly. be blamed? He had no pow. here deplorably enough: Congress is fast'abol- ishing. itself, by the mingled factionism and im- becijity which mark. its. proceedings, It has been nearly five months in session, and has done nothing, and is likely to do nothing for séme months to come. ‘There is a very seri- ous apprehension that the first of July will find us here without any. provision _ having «been made fur carryivg on. the government for the cargo entire.

Ina liberal it of State pride, beth political parties uni- ja setting on foot several schemes of Luter- Improvement. jmong other acts, one was passed to con- a Rail Road connecting Wilmington with Thirdly. By this route you'may accommo. date two or three North Carolina counties, and the peaple and market ‘Towns of South Caroli- na, while all the counties north of that route, Catawba, Alexander, Davie, Surry, Iredell, Wiikes, Ashe, Watauga, Caldwell, Burke, Mc- Dowel], and Yancy, would be shut out from it, in whole or in part. Fourthly. By taking that route through the Hickory Nut Gap, it would go where the State had heretofore spent large sums of money for the accommodation of that section, while she bad done nothing so far as we know, for the other section.

The a of thirteen Gentlemen residing at differ. | nis in the west were, by their respect. Pends, recommended as Commissioners, — of them honorable, intelligent men and en fly competent. ‘The difficulty and embar. mament in making a selection ainony such wawill be readily appreciated. In any al- mative only three could be gratified, while | Two | aAwere certéinly to be disappointed. thief consideratiuns were adopted in making ie selection. First, to take one from each wd of the contemplated road, and one from the watre, so that the different sections might be- tresented. Secondly, to apportion this crumb | dptronage between members of both the po. ical parties. Aecordingly, A. H. Sbuford, of Catawba, Geo, W. Hayes, of Cherokee. and Joseph J. | Ervin, at that time and now a citizen of Ruth. | Some unavoid. | ledelay arose in procuring the services of a | sford county, were appointed. tmpetent Engineer, when Maj.

Vader his oath of office he appointed such men whe thought would do their duty faithtully.— Ta them he Jeft it, under the oath which the hw bad enjoined upon them, to do that * duty 6 the greatest anvantage for the State.” ‘To le Engineer vpon whose reconnvissance and Weessional opinion chiefly rested the respon. bility of the lucation, the Governor gave no iutructions as to the route he should take, ex.- % to express the wish, should ut be found Meticable, that the Road might run through & severa!

Again. The Legislature in 1846 chartered “the Caldwell and Ashe Turnpike.” took one half the stock for the State, and establised tolls in which the State, is interested one half.— ‘That road is now in progress of construction, and will connect with this ‘Turnpike in the county of Caldwell. And while that road will afford an outlet to those land-locked, mountain. hound counties of Caldwell, Ashe, Wilkes, Wa. tauga and Yancy, a most fertile and interesting section of country, now entirely distitute ot marketing and travelling facilities, will, by its connexion with this Turnpike, pour into our State a large and valuable trade from the moun. tain counties of Virginia and Tennessee, which reaching Salisbury, can be continued in their | own wagons on the Plank Road to Fayetteville ; | or, by taking the Centrall Rail Road, be con. veyed to Wilmington—thus fostering our own | Market Towns: entrenching our people by | giving them facilities of trade and commerce : and building up the means, the wealth, the character of our own State, and enabling us to throw off our commercial vassalage to Vir- ginia and South Carolina. Now, without running the parallel further between these two routes; we would ask any er to cuerce nor punish them. But the Governor is charged with having en- tertained a. preference for the Morgunton or middle route, and to have appointed the Com. missioners expressly to that end, and that thus * he-lucated the road himself.” Now it is un- deniably true, as we are informed, that the Go- vernor, in-view of the various schemes of In- ternal Improvement projected by the Legisla- ture, in connexion with this question, and from his general-knowledge of the topography of the State, did entertain the belief that this Turn- pike ought to take the Morganton or middle route ; that, in his judgment, such route would accommodate the larger number of our people, and would be best for the interest of the whole State ; that he expressed this opinion without reserve to all who desired to know his opinion ; and that, in the selection of commissioners, he preferred those, of course, who were not com- mitted against that way, but who concurred with him in these views. But the allegation, that he controlled the Engineer and Commis- sioners, that he required pledges from them, and had the road located where he pleased, is, to say the least of it, puerile and idle. What a gratuitous aspersion ie here made upon the character, independence and integrity of the Engineer and Commissioners? what unwar- rantable insult? Why, suppose that, forgetting the respect due to himself and these honorable gentlemen, the Governor had said to them that he meant to have this road gathrough Morgan. ton or the middle route, that he had appointed them fur this special purpose, and that they must execute his high behest: What would have been their reply? J reckon they would have told him, in very unmistakable language, that the Law under which they were appointed required them to take an oath “to discharge their duty to the best advantage for the State ;” that they should steer by that-chart, and not by. the wishes or opinions of the Governor or any body else. ‘That is what they would have thought and felt. “ He rated his men, (says the Banner,) and they have fulfilled their orders.” ‘hese honorable gentlemen are too well known and respected to be thus denounc- ed with impunity as ‘the men” of any body. Without doubt, they acted fairly and conscien- tivusly. Indeed, so clearly does it appear that the middle route for this road was the proper one, that we entertain the firm eonviction that if this appointment of Commissioners had been conferred upon any three of the intelligent, honest, and patriotic citizens of Rutherford a- lone, however they might have desired to favor their own county and bring the road into their neigbborhood, (and all men might very honest. ly desire to have the road run by their doors,) yet having taken a solemn oath to lay off this unprejudiced man, which of them was to be preferred in order to secure ‘‘the greatest ad- | vantage for the State ?”—for mark you, that is the question. Shall this central route be taken by Morgan. /ton and so on, thus dividing the State by the | /road ; equalizing the advantages tothe counties on both sides, Rutherford included :—opening a high way to market to those Northwestern counties of ours beyond the Blue Ridge, which have no market; connecting with, and aiding another State work, the Caldwell and Ashe Turnpike ; bringing into our State the travel and produce of other States ; and thus adding freight and profit tv the turnpike Roads, and the Plank Road, and the Central Rail Road; in all of which the State is so targely interested ? Or shall the Southern line be taken ?

The Banner further says, he (Gov. M.) de- _clared “that we should not secure any benefit | from an act of the Legislature, passed for our benefit.” Now, it is news to us that this act | was passed for the benefit of any particular | county. | [tis a general Law, for the benefit of the | whole State.

Y. Express. Union and Compromise Triumph.— Position of Mr. Benton, &c. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from Washington under date of April 17, says ; The friends of Union and compromise have triumphed in the Senate. It has been a hard struggle: but it nay now be presumed that we have passed the crisis safely, and as soon as Mr. Benton, Mr. Hale and others will permit, a bill embra- cing California and the Territorial Gov- ernments, will pass the senate. They will pass, too, under the recom- mendation of a committee of thirteen members, selected from different quarters of the country, and of different parties, and any man who may oppose the views of that committee will be put down as a disunionist. There are but two parties to this question—the party in favor of Union by force, and the party in favor of Union, by compromise. The report of the committee will carry great weight with it in the House, for many southern members would refuse to vote for California except in combination, with bills establishing territorial govern- ments. Mr. Benton scouts the appointment of a committee, for the obvious reason that the opinion of thirteen men will be stronger before the country, than that of one man. It will place the free soilers and Mr. Ben- ton on disadvantageous ground. The Crawford investigation committee are moving in a quiet and searching man- son. He risks our displeasiire and disap- pointment that he may save ‘ns from the evils of distracted counsels and ¢lashing interests.

As soon as it became known that the Governor was in the house, the ladies residing at that hotel raised over three hundred dollars, which they presented to him as he was leaving. It was done so delicately that the venera- ble Hungarian and family were deeply and gratefully effected. Gov. U. has is- sued acard to his friends in New York, expressive of his hearty thanks for the no-. ble sympathy and hospitality he has re- ceived inthatcity. In conclusion he says: “Three months since I came from the West of Europe to the East of America, and now | depart again forthe far West, of this country, whereon the free and tee- ming enterance into the great American. agricultural family is granted to every one who has courage and strength to work. “To these shores ] was driven by tyra- ny ; to the fields of the west of this coun- try I am now borne by the desire of win- ning from mother earth what is so neces- sary to the American Republican, a free and independent existence.” IMPUDENCE. The Hon. Mr. Kaufman, of Texas, the other day, attempted to introduce into the House of Representatives the following resolution :— “That the Presiden: be requested to inform this house wheiher any of the officers of the Government have been instructed by him or the Secretary of War to prejudice the claims of Texas to Santa Fe by inducing the people of that place and vicinity to forma State Govern- ment.” ; The claims of Texas to Santa Fe, in- deed! where Texas never came. within gunshot, save but to be made prisoners of war, ;and subsequently to be. marched in chains thence to the capitahof Mexico.

Theré was a bigh sea ranning at the time, and as the man swept on astern all hope of saving him seemed to vanish. -Relief, however, came from a quarter where no one ever dreamt of looking for it befere.

Incredible as this story may seem, the name and position of the writer.of the let- ter, who was an eye-witness.of the scene place its authenticity beyond a doubt.—~ But for the assistance thas afforded, the writer adds, no power on earth could have saved the soldier, as, in consequence of the high sea running, a long time elapsed before the boat could have been manned, and got down—all this time the man clin- ging to the bird whose flutterings and struggles to escape bore him.up.

This excellent paper has put on another new dress, in part, and to an extent sufficient to improve its appear- ance very considerably. We are glad to see it for sev- eral reasons, and trust the Editors may be suita- bly rewarded. It should be very desirable that the papers of this State improve their appearance. Our newspapers are constantly going abroad into other States. They are to be found on editorial tables all over the country. If they were there alone, it would not be so bad. But they are there among the papers of every other State, Coutrasting either to advantage or disadvantage, with thein—generally to disadvantage. Besides, they are to be found in many large reading rooms, North and South. Hundreds of people see them there, and on editor’s ta- bles, every day. Whatever their appearance, whether teans Cotron 74; Mobile 63; Upland 6§. Gen. Shielids,—\t is not very long since Gen. Bhields received a glorification in the Palmetto State, and was in raptures, asany man who received such honors might well have been, with the gallant State of South Carolina. The General. however, by his recent anti slavery dem onstrations proves that be has forgotten his first love, and judging from a late ar- ticle of the Charleston Mercury his dislike is returned with compound interest. “On Friday last,” says the Mercury, * Gen. Shields delivered a hot anti-slavery speech. The matter was frothy enough. | to be sure, but the glare of his eyes and | ferocity of his moustaches, together with certain miliiary glorifications achieved in Mexico give more importance to General Shields words than the same fustian would have without these embelishments. To this we are to attribute whatever of sen. sation was produced by the abolition Sen- ator, who, a short time since, expressed so earnest a desire to be a citizen of South Carolina.—Rich. Rep. Mr. Calhoun’s Grave.—Gov. Seabrook, @.Sovth Carolina. dectines to acceed to thé wish of the civil authorities of Charles. ton to permit the remains of Mr. Calhoun to repose in Charleston, and adds: “All that pertains to Mr. Calhoonis the property of the Commonwealth. and where his body{shall permanently lie, ought to be a questivo for its constituted authorities to settle.” neat or slovenly, new or uld, they are seen and read; and the Old North thought of, and spoken abont. Itis nonsense to say it matters not how they look, if they are well conducted. They may be excellent, and yet without the attractive garb, they are passed over by nine-tenths as unworthy of respect. You had as well say it makes no difference how a man dresses, if he be- haves himeelf properly. A man cannot even disregard dress at home without its mure or less affecting his standing and usefulness, however good he may be.— How much more would he fail to receive deferential and respectful treatment abroad, in a mean garb, where his good qualities are unknown. So it is in some degree, in relation to newspapers. The eye dwells with plea- sure on a handsome newspaper as well as on any thing else that is pretty. For the same reason it turns away from every thing of a ‘* bad look” to find pleasure in things of a better appearance. This principle, we fear, has long operated against North Carolina papers, and through them, against the State. It occurs to us that it is one of the best meth- ods that could be devised to perpetuate those sneers which the people of other States are in the habit of in- dulging towards us. Messrs. Swaim & Sherwood, and all those editors who have lately improved their papers, have shown a spirit in this view, which says: We are determined that the Old Norjh shan’t suffer discredit on our account. We vote you our thanks gentlemen. Now let the friends of those papers, say to their edit- ors,—gentlemen ; you shan’t suffer loss by your praise- worthy endeavors to raise the character of that section of the State in which you and we live: We will give you that sort of evidence which an editor most highly values, to prove that we appreciate your efforts. Here are the dimes to pay you for my back dues, and for a year in advance. And my neighbor, Mr. John Right- spirit, has consented to take your paper, and here are the dimes he directed me to pay you for his first year.

The decision of North Carolina, which is now understood to be pretty emphatically de. clared.against the Nashville Convention scheme tas heen quietly made by THE PEOPLE, with very little aid of advice from thase who are on ordinary occasions active counsellors in mat. ters of public concern. Comparatively few of the orators and prominent men of the State have taken groundin public against the scheme, Many have refrained, perhaps, for want of pro per occasion, The loquacify has been chifley on the other side ; but has been impotent in its effect upon the steady patriotism and sound judgment of our popolation. Among the few conspicuous citizens who, al the suitable occasion, took decided and une. quivecal ground against the proposed Conven. tion, was Joan Kerr, of Caswell. Invited to address a mneeting in Grawville, his speech was made with his characteristic boldness and elo quence, and his views struck so forcibly the understanding of his auditors, that a majority of them decided against having any thing to do with the proposed scheme. For the purpose of correcting miarepresentations, Mr. Kerr ady- dressed the following letter to the Editor of the Raleigh Times. We commend its sound patri- otic views to the public :—[Greens.

Viewing it, however in that light, I stated that it was an empty and useless pageant.—hu, if it was de. signed by its friends to devise and recommend a acheme to dissolve the Union, [ pronounced thal object treasonable in its character. and de serving the reprobation of every patriot. In reference to the H@rtford Convention, my res marks were, in substance as follows ¢ “That eur public men, if restrained hy no bigher mo tive from participating inthe deliberations of the proposed Nashville Convention, would do well al least to be admonished hy the Sate of all whw hadheen connected with the assembly of an an. alogous character which had ever convened in our country, namely, the Harttord Convention —which, though in its inception it was, by its advocatve, d-clared to be a measure designed 'o preserve and perpetuate the Unien—yet, af ler it had convened, it was believed to have heen involved in projects of treason and disun.- ion.” TF called upan them to eschew all such sectional movements, as dangerous in their ten. dency, hecause usually directed.not by the wise and tried statesmen of th® country. but hy the youthful, violent and ‘ap politictans, whv sought notoriery far more thamthey studied the interests of their country. ‘TF anperadded some expressions of personal compliment to Gen. Saunders, unnecessary to he now repeated. You thus have all, or the substance of all, | stated on the orcasionh referred to, about trai tors. or the Hartford Convention. As to the statement that Gen. Saunders replied to me— this, like many other things from the same suurce, is a mere “fancy, sketch.” The Gen. eral made many very impressive and eloqnent remarks, which were warmly received and ap. planded by his audience. and the only attempt at a reply on the occasion. to my knowledge. proceeded from T. Brown Venable, Esq.. who expressed his dissent from the views of both Gen. Saunders and myself, and we thus had the misfortune to be used up by our mutual friend, who called the meeting together for a pious purpose, but Sxperienced in its results « somewhat mortifying disappojatment. I have thus corrected certain statements in regard to the Granville Meeting calculated to do me a personal wrong. and so the TaN eg pose of this communication is accomplis I will, however, by your leave, Mr. Editor, add —that whenever a proper occasion arrives tor united resistance by means of open hostility on the part of the South 10 encroachments of the } North, £, for one, shal! adhere to the fortunes of that section in which I was born and have bt > ade — sent, however. 4 ~ and enjoyment of hia propesty. wrong.—in regard to our fugitive slaves. cal disunionists—and are as much in favor of the Nashville Conveation as Clemens, of Ala. | bama, as Toole of the Aurora, - | Our Representatives in Congress are now engaged in an effort to provide, by law, for the capture of fugitive slaves; and also to quiet the public mind by an equitable adjustment of slavery, We have much to bope fur from their patriotic eforts—Webster has spoken in tones which have produced patrivtic vibrations thronghout the conntry ; New England is now daily responding in terns of approbation to the noble sentiments of her illustrious sun; Clay.

And the sentence which begins with—“ Neither threat, nor lan- guage of any kind,” &c., and closes with—“ and we go where we list, without any fear of the consequences,” in also very fitly spoken A man should not suffer his position and character to pass unobserved. The world ishere distinctly apprised of this man’s rule of action, for be has told it all. We thank the editer for the in- formation, and he will perceive we have put it in “ cape” . for him. | But there are so many interesting words and sen | tenees in the above that we beg to be excused from no- | ticing them all. He isa “funny man.” But the subject of dispute us originally started be- , tween the “ Nest” and the ‘‘ Watchman” and alone | possessing any public interest, was the course that pa- | per saw fit to pursue towards Mr. Stanly. We object- ed to it as an improper one to be pursued by a journal professing to be Whig in polities. We thought it looked | like the treatment of an enemy in disguise. Nothing | that we have seen since has shaken that opinion ; on the contrary, we have seen things to confirm the be- lief. It had frequently been-deelared by good Whigs in our hearing before that, that the ‘ Nest”—was a loco- foco concern. But we made allowance for the young | gentleman at ite head, and set his course down as that | of an ardent young blood who merely wanted to write | hinvself into notice, without reference to “method in his madness.” Whatever of charity we may have felt towards the * Nest” in this relation, however, is van- ishing into air, “thin air.” Besides what we have presented in former numbers going to show that that paper should not be depended on a8 an exponent and advocate of Whig principles, we now present the following extract from the Wilmington Aurora, a paper which came out as an “ independent,” or sort of neutral affair, but so clearly democratic and disunionist in its feelings, that no one now thinks or speaks of it in any other light. The Aurora, says: “THE HORNETS’ NEST. “ We like a good hit even at our own expense ; and therefore insert the following fancy sketch of an inter- view between an Editor and a Clown, from the Hor- nets’ Nest, a capital newspaper published at Charlotte, in this State. whig in polities, or rather that wa given, and perfectly sound on the subject of Southern Rights.” We have placed the words in italics to which we would invile attention. The Aurora says—‘ Whig in pulities, or rather that way given.” Why does the Au- rora add the qualifieation, “or rather that way given”? Evidently because the editor saw, as every bedy else sees, that the “Nest” is only “that way given.” — It is thea, according to this paper, not decidedly Whig, but only “ that way given.” ‘This is as much as a jo- cofoco paper, desiring to draw the “ Nest” into its ranks, dared to say, without exciting the coneern of thase who were supporting it as a Whig journal, and re- ceiving its editor as a Whig. But even this is more than the editor, with all his bravery, has had the courage to say for himself in a lat- itude where Whig principles sicken and die. We mean in South Carolina. There, he announees his paper, in a card, as “ Devoted to general news and Literature, and politically to a defence of Southern Rights and ia- terests.” Not a word as to whether it was whig or Perhaps we ought not, as we really are some what | inclined not, after what has passed between the “ Hor- | nets’ Nest”—a very foul Nest it is too, and whose pro- | prietor reminds us more of a setting goose than any | thing else which presides over a ‘‘ Nest.”—We say, af-_ ter all that has passed between it and the Watchman, | we might well refuse tu notice it further. We are per- | fectly satisfied that uny thing we might say concerning it cvuld have no good effect on the editor, so completely | is he entrenched behind his self-esteem, and so closely mailed by his own consummate vanity. Nevertheless, remembering that a continuous dropping wears away the hardest stone, we will not yet despair of making some- | thing of the “ Nest” We shall, therefore, continue, occasionally, to devote a smal} corner for its especial benefit. We have often heard it said of just such cha- racters—“ give them rope and they will hang them- ) selves.” We apprehend some interest has been mani- | fested by some of those who really desire the welfare of the captious occupant of this ‘‘ Nest”—we are led to | think so from the tone of certain effusions which he hes from time to time given out—to prevent his doing | that part by himself which those whom he regards as | foes would in pity forbear to do. But we have reason | to believe that these good-will offerings have proved un- availing ; and the editor, still deeply impressed with a | sense of his own superior end extraordinary genius, learning, originality, wisdom, knowledge, judgment, power, WEIGHT OF CHARACTER, influence, eloquence, &c., presges onward in the course his rare capacity could along have projected or manage. There is not in this, however, cauge for them to despair. All men have their points—good and bad; and when all other teme- dies fail, this prodigy may require to be cast into the mortar and brayed ; and, if thet don’t cure him, why, let all men have mercy on hitn. Permit us to present heie, an extract from the last | “ Nest.” We have seen fit to bring out certain words gud sentences in capital Jettera.

In relation to the recent farce of an electica ia Georgia, it says: “ Now, we do contend, that if all those who did not vote at the election are to be consider. ed as opposed, or different to the measure, it proved a very general opposition, and is one of the most signal instances of dereliction of duly by the soverign peopie of a State, that we have ever known.” The * Carolinian” and the sovereign peo ple” of Georgia appear to differ materially ia their ideas of duty.” Which is right 7 In the course of its article, of some length, the whig party of the South, in its course is defence of Gen. Taylor, is charged as the cause of the destroying unanimity in favor of Conven- tion. Shoulda’ be surprised if there was eome- thing in this. The article closes in the following strain : “We hereby give notice that we dave no thing more to say about the Nasbrille Conven- tion—the Wilmot proviso—or elavery. We wash our hands of the whole concern.

So it would appear from these extracts, that the Nest is one of the “ friends of decency”! We com- mend to its attention part of the heading of an advertise- ment in its columns, to wit: ‘Doctor yourself!” And to the real friends of decency the subject matter of that advertisement. ‘* Doctor yourself for 25 cents,” is “‘ more saited ty the brothel,” than “ fit for a gentleman’s (or lady’s) table.” Mr. Clay's Birth Day—the 12th April —was celebrated at Niblo's saloon, in New York.

C. Grier,rand L. Badger, Secretaries,) it was any thing. a District Convention. When we went in R. P. Waring,Esq., was uiressing the meeting. He was arguing the geessity of the Seuthern Convention and the riety of Mecklenburg county sending a rep- gemtation to that body The constant aggres- jons of te North required it. He made some re- s relative to the course of a certain Nort projina representative whose course had been p suicidal to the South, that he would not even gntion bis name. [How mortified Mr, Stan. g will feel that R. P.

In | gemitting the Preamble and resolutions, Mr. | Johnston made a few remarks in their favor. Afier he had concluded, J. H. Wilson, Eaq. gose to address the meeting. He took ground wainst the appointing of Delegates. He ar. that there was no necessity for the Con. yely passed through South Carolina and that, Essulution of the Union was a constant topic Pf conversation, and that he feared disunion was comemplaied by the originators of the measure He then went on to argue that davery could not exist in the territory acquired fom Mexico, because it could not be profitable. He was replied to by J. L. Badger, in avery aeited manner, stating that he had not signed ibe cal] for this meeting and had spoke against ime. It was evident from this that nobody wae expected to take any part but those who agned the call for the meeting, although the gectation was to all the citizens. Mr. Wilson tated that the invitation being to the citizens d Mecklenburg, and he being one, had induce. ad him to come ; and a gentleman who signed te call informed usthat Mr. Wilson asked his @inion as to his right to address the meeting. wd he stated that he thought he clearly had a fight to do so; but hts remarks were so much ke a wet blanket to the expectations of some pesent that they were anything bot agreeable e@en. J. A. Youny offered a preamble and edlutions as a substitute tor those offered hy te committee. He proposed to act as pacifi- ator between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Badger.— | lis resolutions proposed a postponement of the | ee | packages in the above will be issued and sold at the fol- ppointment of delegates at this time. He ad weated his resolutions with considerable effect wd we have heard it expressed that if the vote could have heen taken they would have passed. J. M. Long. Exq., addressed the meeting in bvor of the Nashville Convention, and against Gen. Young’s substitute. Messrs. Johnston, Myers and G. W. Cald. ve)), spoke against the substjtute and in favor dsending Delegates. The question was then taken on the substi. tte of Gen. Young, and voted down. The o. rginal preamble and resolutions were then wopted. The Chairman was authorized to ap- pint two delegates and two alternates to the Nasbviile Convention. There was a very respectable meeting at its tommencement, but before the vote was taken there could not have been more than one bun. persons present, many of whom did not Wie, and this will no doubt be proclaimed to ‘the country as the voice of ‘old Mecklenburg.” We have not pretended to give any thing like a full account of the proceedings. We thall give the resolutions in our next. We look upon the Nashville Convention as perfectly dead. Ifthe information we receive iscorrect, South Carolina and Mississippi are the only States that wil! be fully represented, and the pumber of delegates will be so small that they will hardly attempt to act. A large Portion of the Southern people have gone a- inst it, and unless men will altend without the show of authority, we now have nothing to kar from its action. Asto Georgia, hear what the Augusta Constitutionalist, a decided Dem. Wratic paper, says: “The meager vote given for delegates in the Reent election is a virtnal defeat of the South. tm Convention movement in Georgia. So far this State is concerned, we look upon it as dead and buried. No exigency that might a- Tse on the slavery question between this and es first-Monday in June can revive it. No trormity of anti slavery legislation hy Congress tught to induce the delegates voted for in Geor- Bia totake their seats in that Convention.—— Nor should the delegates elected by unanimous Yte ofthe Legislature do so. The action of he Legisiature has not received a proper en- lorsement by the people of Georgia.” eee UBIUR TPIS. “A babe in a house is like a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love ; Yet it is a talent of trust, a loan to be rendered back with interest.” oo [Seas BORN, April 14.—Son to Phillip Owens, County. “ 29 A son to Dr. Hand James, Town. “ 30—A daughter to Rev.

Supreme Court, at Morganton, The Attorney’ General, tas to vacate a grant in vs. Ashe County, filed 22d John Ray and Others. March, 1850. Wuerzas, Bartholomew F. Moore, Atrorney General of the State of North Carolina, hath exhibited his Bill in this Court, in whieh it is alleged that one Jesse Ray, of the County of Ashe, in said State, in the year 1829, obtained as a bounty for erecting Iron Works in said County of Ashe, under the Act of 1788, a grant frem the State purporting to convey to the said Jesse Ray, 3000 acres of Land described as lying on the waters of the North Fork of New River, beginning at a hickory near the lands of Joshua Baker, (formerly Joseph Jobnsons) and running North 20 degrees, East 92 poles to a large rock, then North 80 poles, crossing the river toa r, then West 24 poles to a chesnut on Mill Creek Ridge, then North 65 poles to a cucumber, then North 45 de- grees, West with Mill Creek Ridge 800 poles to a maple, then North 20 degrees, East 500 poles to a chesnat, then North eighty degrees, East 6 hundred poles to a lay rock, then North 65 degrees, East 5 hundréd poles co Horse | Creek on three walnuts, then down the various mean- ders of Horse Creek to the North Fork of New River, then up the meanders of the said River to a bunch of Hornbeams at the mouth of Buffaloe, then South 45 de- grees 386 poles to a stake, then to the first station. The Bi!l charges that Jesse Ray in combination with others, obtained this grant from the State by fraud and false suggestions. Among said charges it is alleged that the land was not legally examined and allotted by a Jury: that there was no order of the County Court of Ashe authorizing a Jury to act, and that the paper pur- porting to be a report of a Jury in the case is a forgery : that in order to obtain this grant, Jesse Ray procured the Records of the County Court of Ashe to be falsified, and by these and other fraudulent means charged in the Bill, Jesse Ray procured this grant, by which he obtain- ed from the State instead of 3000 acres of land unfit for cultivation, nearly 6000 Acres, very much of which is land of excellent quality without paying money for the same: and the said Attorney General prays for the rea- sons set forth in his Bill, that said grant may be repeal- ed, rescinded, annulled and declared of none effect, and it appearing that Jesse Ray, the grantee, is dead, and that Jeremiah Ray, Caswell Ray, John Ray, Jr., Wil- liam Ray, Jane Ray, Jesse Parsons, Robert Parsons, John Parsons, and Wilburn Ray, are part of his heirs at Law, and that they are not inhabitants of the Staf@of N. Carolina. Now, they the said Jeremiah Ray, Caswell Ray, John Ray, Jr., William Ray, Jane Ray, Jesse Par- sons, Robert Parsons, John Parsons and Wilburn Ray, ace hereby notified and required to be and appear before their Honors, the Judges of the Supreme Coart of North | Carolina, at the next Court to be held at Morganton, on | | the first Monday in August next, (1850) and then and there plead, answer or demur to said Bill of Complaint, or the same will be taken pro confesso, and heard ex- parte. as to them.

TEMPERANCE HYMN. Tuns—‘ From Greenland’s Icy Mountain.” From Gallia’s teeming wine-press, From Hojljand’s stream of gin, Where thousands in their blindness, Prepare the bait of sin; From many a fiery river, From many a poigonous rill, God calls us to deliver The victims of the still What though they sing of pleasure, While each the goblet fills ; What though their bliss they measure By quarts and pints and gills ; In vain, with layish kindness, Heaven give us richest bread, Distillers in their blindness, Make poison in its stead. Shall we, by Temp’rance aided Tn health and peace to live, Shall we, to men degraded, Refuge the buon to give? The Fountain! oh! the Fountain! The balm of health proclaim, Till mgn o’er sea and mountain Shall baste to tell its fame ! Walt, waft, ye winds; the story, ; And you, ye waters, roll, ‘Fill Temp’rance in its glory, Shall] spread from pole to pole ; Till health and peace, aud biessing, Shall follow in its train ; And Christ, all hearts possessing, Ged over al! shall reign ! STUNG BY A HORNET. ‘We meet with a sting this week, from the ehief Hornet in a certain nest in North Caro. fina, is the shape of a complaint by a certain edjtor, J. L. Badger, to the effect that we have quoted from him, without giving him due cred. it. We give the following verse, some time since, and marked it as a quoiation, stating that it was from a’ certain Book of Hyuns :” Phere wag an old captain his name was Ned, 4s brave as brave could be, He-fought in his dreams, each night in ded, But never awake fought he.” This verse, Editor Badger chuims to have composed, among oiher verses hg “composed v0 varies private devotional occasions fur espe- cial service,” ) Nows* we found the verse, in the “ Little Falls Songster ;” published in 1888, by G. Ful ler, at the office of the West Jersey Amulet.” On page 27, of this sma!l Louk, is to be found the following verse : - “ There was an old capti: i As brave as brave alae. name was Joy. He fought in his dreams, all night you know, But never awake fought he!” Now, whether Fuller borrowed from Badg.- sor Badger from Fuller, we have no right y. Fuller states in bis “ Freface,” that his is “a choice collection,” of * Yankee and Western Songs.” If, therefore, Badger were a poet prior to 1838, or more than 12 years age he certainly bas all underholts upon Ful- Jor. Btill, in a contest between them for the honor of originating this poetic, and sublime verse, we claim the right to be neutral, with the privilege of exclaiming, in the language of a gsilani iemale, on a memorable occasion— Gout husband—go it bear !”— Brownlow.

From the Alabama Journsl, of April 19. The North and the South.—A pamphlet, written over the signature of “ONE oF THE Pgopte.” entitled “the North and the South, or the Question stated and considered,” has been published at Columbia, (S. C.) and as a eopy has been furwarded to us, we presume it has been or is being circulated extensively in all the Southern States. We desire briefly to call attention to it. It commences as follows : “ There igmow a great controversy existing between the Morh and the South. Can this controversy be settled ?” Afier going into a consideration of the grounds of the difficulty, the writer, onthe 5th page, comes to this conclusion : . “ It results, them from the very nature of this controversy, that it cannot be settled.” And after considering the difficulties in the way of a settlement, the author says, on page 6th, “1 take it for granted, then, that a collision between the North and the South is inevita- ble.” He intimates that it may not be imme- diate, but it must come sooner or later. He then says: “Tf we take it for granted that a collision is inevitable, what is to be done? And that is my object in writing. I desire, as one of the people, to give my opinion—let it pass fur what blet. i = thing like it. =2 ° se mbling, adjusimale which we of.

Let usin nothing be wanting in a proper recipro- cation of those manifestations of patriotism and a love for the Union the Southern people are thue giving us, as a pledge of their deternina. tion to abide by the Union to the last.

Secondly, that the controversy cannot be set. tled. Thirdly, that a collision is inevitable. Fourthly, that an immediate dissolution of the Union, a Southern Confederacy, and a taking possession of certain territories by force of | arms, are the remedy. And fifihly, that this should be the object and action of the proposed Nashville Coaven- tion. Were this ordinary communication to a news. paper, at stopping and that, it were enough to be deprecated, we should not have felt called upon to notice it; but when these views are gravely embodied in pamphlet form, and issued from so distant and prominent a point, scattered over the cagniry at large, embracing such start. ling propositions as are there made, we feel call. ed upon to make a few observations upon them. First, there is a controversy between the North and the South. ‘The North has been From the Rickwoua Times. Tue Nasavitie Convention.—Since the 5th of February last, it has been demon strated heyond dispute that neither Dela- ware. Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia. nor Louisiana will be represented with any adequate sanction of popular authority at Nashville. It is impossible, therefore, that there can be a“ union of the whole South” in the proposed consultation, such 4s was contemplated by our Legislature, or such as will give to the acts of the Convention solemnity or consequence. In view of this now undeniable fact. those advocates of Southern rights who speak of the failure of the Convention as equivalent to a surrender of the Southern # conservative men from other ‘Southern States should attend, is to prevent the Cunvention from being committed to any such ultra course as is recommended by the author of this pam.

No correct judge of human na. ture, who knows anything of the springs of hu- man action, would come to that conclusion bat still, many thoughtless individuals have been influenced by the representations referred The following paragraph from the New York Express, afier referring to the defeat of part of us at the North renewed sentiments of tant discoveries, and printed so. much of the article as would give Mr. Toole the credit of makingtbem.

But the editor seems to be somewhat nettled by‘our notice, and says “ we have. the advantage of Bruner & James. If they should live a thousand years; they: would never discover any thing.” We can’t tell, for oor part, whether such is the fact. One thing is‘quite certain: We ne- ver wish to discover a rotten pretext for dissolving our glorious Union ; and what- ever of inventive genius we may possess, (and the Aurora says we have some of that,) we promise that. it shall never be so directed as to get up, or encourage a Toole for the severance of our national bonds.

WasHinoon, April 28. 1850. The Compromise Committee—Mr. Clay's Re port—The Plan Agreed U,on—Three Bills —U. States Stock—California Fever. &c. The compromise committee agreed upon their report on Thursday last. The chairman, Mr. Clay, was requested to present the views | of the committee to the senate in a detailed | report, and alse to prepare the Jills in contor | mity with these views. Mr. Clay, on Friday, retired into the country, taking with him ao | amanuensis, ¢or the purpose of discharging the | duty. He is at the residence of Mr. Calvert, near this city. ‘ ‘There are to be but three bills. as [ under. stand. ‘The first bill embraces California, the territorial governments and the Texan proposi- tion, thus disposing of all these topics in one act. The second bill alters and amends the fugi- tive slave act of 1797. in such manner as to give effect to the constitutional provisions on | the subject, and at the same time to comply with the reasonable feeling and opinion of the northern people. The provisions are simple and efficient. The third bill extends the law of Maryland. as il existed five years ago over this District, and by the provisions of the same, the slave marts of this District will be broken up, and the introduction of slaves for sale prohibited. Here is the California scheme. It was a- gteed to unanimously—at least no dissent was expressed by any of the commitiee. [am con- fident that it will be supported by two.thirds of the South.

DISCOVERY OF HUMAN REMAINS. The lovers of the marvellous were | thrown intoa fever of excitement yester day morning, by the discovery of the re- mains of a buman body among the ruins ot the old building, No. 56 Walnut street which has been demolished to give place to the improvement projected by E. Y. Farqubar, Esq In the cellar of the rear building there were three ground ‘arches supporting the chimney stacks, consisting of a main or centre arch and one on either side. The Western arch having heen clased up by 4 brick wall in tront of it, had tre quently attracted the notice of Mr, Far qthar, the owner of the property. and having some curiosity to ascertain what it contained, he gave directions to the workmen not to tear it down anless he was present. Yesterday morning the men were set to work at it in bis presence — | Qn removing the outer and inner wall a mehogany coffin was found embedded in the arch in an upright position, and sur rounded by mortar and rubbish. “ The coffin was much decomposed. and fell to pieces on being handled ; the head and foot boards only remaining entire.— Within the coffin were the remains of a human being. but se much decomposed by the action of quick lime that it_ was impos sible to ascertain the age or sex of the dead.—Phil.

The Gazzette of Mantua says (remarks the Richmond Whig) that Jus. Puiheni, a rich sex agenvarian committed the extreme folly of mar. rying a very young lady.

The Butfalo Courier, in an article upon the Rochester knockings, publishes the tol lowing and vouches for its truth. It does not surprise us at all. A young man called, a day or two since upon the ladies in whose keeping are the Rochester spirits. His bearing was sad, and his voice was tremulous with emotion. Sorrow was in his countenance, and a weed was on his hat. He sighed as he took a seat, and the by standers pitied him as they saw him draw forth @ spot- less bandkerchiet and wipe a tear that had gathered inbiseye. Alteratew mo. ments of silence he took one of the ladies aside. and requested to be put in commu nication with the spiritual essence of his mother, and here he wiped his eyes rap- idly, and sobbed. A period of quiet elapsed and a knock was heard, signifying that the desired cor respondence could be had, and with a hesitating voice. the young aan commenc- “How long bad | gone before you died 7” A length of time was stated. “Where are you now, mother !—are you happy?” The knocking indicated that the spirit was al rest. “ Are those of your friends who have gone before with you?” ~ They were,” said the knocking. aa you can recognise them perfect: ly 7” The noise certified the affirmative. “Can you see me at all times when you wish?” The raps proclaimed the perpetual clear- ness of the speaker’s visiun in that respect. The gentleman seemed releived, and the spectators stood overwhelmed with wonder.

Mr. Webster has earned renewed ad- miration from the South—from the whole Union. He has once more expounded and enforced constitutional obligations and patriotic duties. Being on a visit to Boston, where be arrived on the 29th ult., he was met on landing by a vast assem- blage, and greeted in an enthusiastic man- ner. He was welcomed home by Mr. B. R. Cartis, on behalf of the gathered mul- titade, in an appropriate address, in reply to which he spoke as follows: After the noise had in some measure subsided, he proceeded to say that it was with great pleagnre that he met so large an assemblage of his friends at a time when his private affairs had called him from the seat of government to his own home. As you have said, sir,—the duties of the winter in the public councils of the country have been arduous. [,am sorry to say that those arduous duties are not done with. I am sorry to say that the public affairs of the country have not yet made so much progress towards satisfac- tory adjustment as to remove all the anx- iety. which has been felt about the adjast- ment of the subjects under discussion.— But I feel authorized to say that there is ‘now reason to hope, reason to expect— that further reflection, that a genorous: comparison of various wishes where we disagree, will bring about that improved state of public feeling ;—in the reproduc- tion of which all our expectations of use- ful discharge of public duty, all our ex- pectations of useful legislation must de- pend. J cannot but feel sir, that J stand in the presence of my friends. I must regard this gathering as the personal tribute of your welcome to me. You do not wel- come the politician, and this is not an op- portunity for discussing those questiors which now agitate the community and the government :—ques!..ns which can leave little repose in the mind ofany intelligent man till he can sec some probability that from their discussion an adjustment may come, in favor of the prosperity, peace, happiness. and continued union.of the country. (Cheers. ] Gentlemen, I have felt it my duty, ona late occasion, to make an effort to bring about some amelioration of that excited feeling on this subject which pervades the people of the country every where—north and south :—to make an effort also to re- store the government to its proper eapac- ity for diseharging the proper business of the country. [Chcers.] For now, let me say, it is unable to discharge that business. That it may regain that capacity, there is a necessity for effort bothin Congress and out of Congress upon the subject to which you have alluded, shall be in some way suppressed. Take that troth with you: andtake it astruth! Untilsomethingcan be done to allay feeling now seperating men and different sections, there can be no useful and satisfactory legislation in the two Houses of Congress. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts would support her representatives in that course. I have believed that a general sentiment of the whole country would fa- vor and encourage their efforts in it ; and 1 have the satisfaction now to believe, that in that belief, I shall not be disap- pointed. [Cheers.] However that may be that effort I shall repeat. [Renewed cheering.] In the course of pacification I shall preserve regardless of all personal consequences. [Three cheers.] I shall minister to no local prejudices. I[ shall support no agitations having their founda- tions in unreal abstractions. [Laughter and cheers.] 1 shall say nothing which et: may foster the unkind passions, sepera- | May my| ting the North from the South. tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth. before it may utter any sentiment which shall increase the agitation in the public mind on such a subject. [Cheers.] Sir, I have said that this is not an oc. casion for political discussion. 1 confess, that if the time and circumstances gave an opportunity, I should not be indisposed to address the people of Massachusetts directly upon the duty which the present | the d er Masse ts shrink | come up to a fair reasonable and mod- erate performance, (and no more than a fair and reasonable and moderate perfor- mance) of her sworn obligations. I think she will. [Cheers.] Sir, the question is, whether Massachu- setts will stand to the truth, against temp- tation! Whether she will be just against temptation! Whether she will defend herself against her own prejudices! She has conquered everything else in ber time; she has conquered this ocean which wash- es her shore ; she has conquered her own sterile soil; she has conquered her stern and inflexible climate ; she has fought her way to the universal respect of the world; she has conquered everybady’s prejudices bat her own. The question now is, whether she will conquer her own preju- dices. I shall return tothe Senate, to put that question to her, in the presence of that common mother. who shall deal it to her heart. [Cheers ] In the meantime, let me repeat that I tread no step backwards. (Cheers.) I am devoted to the restoration of peace, harmon, and concord out of Congress ;— and such a degree of mutual co-operation in Congress as may enable it to earry on once more the legitimate business of the government. The Union for the preservation of which I strive ; the Union of States for which | strive ;—is not merely a union of law.— of constitution,—of compact ;—but while itis that it is a union of brotherly regard, of fraternal feeling throughout the whole country. Idonot wish that any portion of the people of this country shall feel held together only by the bonds of a legal cor- poration, bonds which some of them may think restrain their limbs-—cramp their affections,—gall and woundthem. I wish on the contrary, that they shall be bound | together by those unseen, soft, easy sitting chains that result from generous affec- tions, and from a sense of common inter- est and common pride. In short ftellow- citizens, my desire is, and my labor is to see that state of things produced, in which filling all bossoms with gratitude, all hearts with joy, illuminating all faces, spteading through all ranks of people whether North, South, East, or West; there shall exist the balm of all our suffer- ing ; the great solace of all our political calamities: the great security of every thing prosperous, and great, and glorious in the future ;—and in this THE UNITED LOVE OF A UNITED GOVERNMENT. eal a THE GREAT CONVENTION OF WO. \ MEN IN OHIO.

Discourses and letters from women who chose to wear the breeches at home, were read, and elicited great applause—the waving of * snowy and dovelike bands” being beautiful to behold !—After this, a string of re- solutions passed to the fullowing effect: “ That all men are created free and equal; Jaws con. trary (o this sublime doctrine are of no bind- ing obligation; that the prohibiton of women from participating in the enactment of Jaws is directly against nature ; that all rights are hu- man rights, without distinction of sex; that wo- men, under the present regulations, are no bet- ter than southern slaves; that ‘allthings work ina circle’; that we, the women of Obio, will hereafier meet annually in convention, to con- sider and adopt measures for the removal of the various disabilities, political, social, religious, legal and pecuniary, to which women as a class are suljected, and from which result so much misery, degradation and crime; and fi- nally, that women have as much right to play | generally as men.” After passing exigency of affairs has devolved upon her these magnanimous resolutigns, the ladies took —this great and glorious commonwealth! | a pinch of snuff, smoothed their cur's, and then Upon the duty, at laest which it devolves | proceeded to other matters, all of which can upon us, who represent her in the Nation- al Legislature.

J. M. MCREHEAD, Chm’n of Board of Gen. Commissioners. Greensboro’, May 11, 1850. 1 We copy the following article from the Camden (S. C.) Journal, to which we in- vite the attention of all those unfriendly to the proposed Nashville Convention.— This article is not selected because it is particularly severe against the real friends of Constitutional liberty, but as being on- ly a specimen of what is said by those who have been foiled in their disunion: scheme. The sober, reflecting people of the country will profit by reading these things. in so much as they must tend toin: cite them to greater diligence in watch- ing the progress and designs of evil and discontented spirits in our midst; and in leading them to fortifying their own posi- tions by properly arranging all the facts going to sustain them. We therefore re- commend to the people to mark the dis unionist wherever he is found—make a memorandum of him—mark his words, and keep them; and collect at the same. time, abundant argument against this Nashville Convention project. When this little democratic squall subsides, all who were concerned in it, will want to relieve themselves of whatever odium may attach to them by the part which they may have taken in it; and it were well they should find it sufficiently difficult, to warn them for the future, against such hot haste and ultraism. ; THE SUBMISSIONISTS. Al one time, the Persian monarch, being de- sirous of wresting from the Greeks their rights, sent heralds to Athens, commanding the Greeks to send him “ dirt.” which was at.that age, in the East, a token of submission. Greece was about as powerful at that time as Soutb Care. lina—Persia the most powerful nation of the | earth. Butdid the Greeks send the token of submission? No; but the Persian heralds were caught and thrown into the wells and ditches, and told to take as much dirt from them as they pleased. Would that the South was now as Greece was then; but alas, a far ane degrading submission is demanded of her on the part of the North, and strange to say, she sub- mits; for we consider it pearly certajn that she will yield. A large portion of the South would | vote and would battle manfully for her rights ; but the “ rottenness in Denmark” will ruin all, On many of the bodies of dead Mexicans, dur- ing the late war, were fuund Corwin’s speech, | with “grape vines.”.. If this is the way This measure from all indications, is doomed to a most complete failure so far as its ability todo any harm is concerned. North Carolina will not be represented, and we believe that South Carolina alone will have a full delegation there. Some of the Democratic papers are very dolor- ous on the subject, and charge the entire failure to the course of opposition pursued by Whigs and Whig papers. In this view of the case the Wilmington Journal breaks out in the following language: “ Hereaf.- ter, we must take the only practical course to set North Carolina right upon this question: Make her democratic—make her democratic !” ; Aye! there lies the rub. Make her de- mocratic.” We think it will prove an up- hill business. Thedemocratic party glo- ries in its identification with this South- ern Convention scheme, and we are glad of it.. They will find it quite as difficult to “ make” the State “ democratic” as they found it to frighten Whigs from proprie- ty by all their senseless rantings about the necessity of a Southern Convention. “ Make her democratic!” ~ How is it to be done? Surely not by calling her peace- loving citizens * Submissionists” and “ to- ries,’ and by threatening to hang them to “make her democratic!” weshallsee how it will operate. The‘only way in which North Carolina can be made democratic is by that party showing by their acts— not by professions—that they are more patriotic, just and proper in all their poli- cy and aims than are the Whigs. And this involves a change on their part which no existing circumstance gives reason to hope for or expect. THE RAPPING. The Rochester American warns all per- sons engaged in getting up mysterious rappings in other places, that it is an in- fringement of the patent which is secured to Rochester.— Wil. Com. This is a mistake—Rochester is not en- titled to the patent. The “ rappings” had been invented in this county, near twelve months before the Rochester spirit com- menced its mysterious knockings at that place. The Rowan “ rappings” however, never got into the papers before, but when you come to talking of Rochester's claim- ing the patent right, we feel ourselves, in justice, called upon to speak out. The rapping spirit here, created considerable excitement in its immediate neighborhood at the time, and as it continued for some weeks, that excitement spread out until it reached town. Dr. A. M. Henverson, of this place, attracted by the noise, at last, went out and “ laid” the spirit some how or ether, and so broke up the thing. We are opinion, too, judging of his success in the case alluded to, that he could “lay” any, or all, these “ rapping” spirits, whe- ther at Rochester or elsewhere ; and if they should become really troublesome to any community this notice may some day entitle us to many thanks. SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. We have received the first and second numbers of this paper, and can say as-to typographical appearance, it is as well printed as any paper in the country ; and as to its management in all the other de- partments, editorial, original communica- tions and selections, it is equally well con- ducted. If persons desirous of taking a good Literary paper would take the Sou- thern Literary Gazette, we are of the opinion they would never regret it. Its jocation, if nothing else, should command an ample patronage for the conductors of the Gazette. Caught.—Geo. Balloch, the Cashier of the Savannah Central Railroad Bank, who absconded with a large amount of funds belonging to the institution, has been arrested in and brought over to and other “ treason decuments,” that acted “as. publishing it—there BOSTON, MAY 2, 1850. Dear Sir:—I am as you see, not quite off yet, al- though it will be eight weeks, to-morrow, since I left the good old town of Salisbury. I have not, however, been idle. Having secured a ticket for the 13th May, Ihave been making the most of the remaining time—the last probably, I sliall ever spend in New England.— I have purchased select and pretty extensive law library of near two hundred volumes, which I have ship- ped by way of the Horn, with the exception of a trunk full of books which I shall take with me over the Isthmus. Most of my time, since I arrived in Massa- chusetts, I bave spent in Boston, familiarizing myself with the Admiralty Practice—forming business connec- tions, &c., and now and then dropping into the Howard | Atheaum of an eveniug, to hear Truffi, Bertucca, Ben- eventurro, Forbi, and others, of the Italian gentry of singers. One of the lines of Rail Road radiating from Boston, passes within four miles of my old home, and performs some half a dozen trips a day, each way.— The distance is 32 miles for eighty cents. I travelled 26 miles the other day over this road in 42 minutes, and it did’nt seem to be kicking up half so much of a fuss as the Raleigh and Gaston Road does. I have been invited to meet my friends in Groveland publicly, and to give them a parting speech. It will probably come off next Wednesday night. Thursday morning I shall start. I shall remain in Boston till that or the following evening, when, at five o’clock, I shall start for New York. The India rubber things, the Colt’s revolver, the tickler, &c., are ail ready, and on Monday, at four o’clock, good-bye to the old thir- teen!! Yet shall I not be entirely severed from this favored land. There are hearts here—here in Massa- chusetts, and there in North Carolina which will beat warmly and kindly at the mention of my name. And I, when I shall have placed thousands of miles between me and all that I have hitherto held dear, I shal! con- tinue long to think of and to love the “ friends I left be- hind me.” I love New England, where my boyhood visions were formed, and J Jove Carolina where they first began to be realized. The former is a sentiment which-T-ehalt never fall to ctierish, but the latter is a feeling which I cannot shake off. Of my divided alle- giance. I have sometimes been at a loss to know which got the greater share. I shall soon test the question, but I think I begin to see how it willbe. I could make the better argument for Massachusetts, but I shall think the most and dream the most about North Carolina.— And whén my pile of dust is large enough, and I shalt be able to ‘‘ come back Stephen,” ‘a little farm to keep, and have little girls and boys,” I shall place Massachu- setts in the respectful distance,—a green spot about which my poetic fancies may cluster, a place, too, which I may talk about and praise, and visit for a brief time in summer. But, North Carolina, with its warm hearted, generous, good natured, lazy people, is the place for me to smoke the pipes of my declining days. You see I am becoming sentimental, and I must quit. You will get this in the course of Court week, and’ you must speak of me to all my friends. I will particular- ize none but — for you know th e order of iny regards. I shall be at all times happy to hear from you either by letter, or by receiving a copy of your paper; and would’nt I like to visit you? Just as sure as I live, be- fore many years roll round, some fine day when you least expect it, I shall drop down among you, and then won’t we have some singing and things. Youra truly, HRERER * Steam power of Wilmington.—There are six hundred and fifty-three horse pow- er of steam in operation at Wilmington. N. C., divided among twenty-five differ- ent establishments. There are two found- ries, four planing mills, one saw and grist mill, four saw mills, two stave dressing machines, one rice cleaning mill, two ma- rine Railways, three turpentine distille- ries, and one weaving establishment, driv- en by steam power. We should judge that when all these mills are at work, there is some racket in Wilmington. Another Plank Road.—We see by the Washington (N. C.) Whig, that the peo- ple in that part of the State, are turning their attention to the project of building a plank road from Washington to Ral- eigh. The Whig says, “the spirit is up— a spirit that knows no such word as fail;” and that the work is bound to go ahead. Hurra for the East—hurra for the West —they will kiss each other by-and-by. THE MISSISSIPPI CONVENTION. The Nashville True Whig charges specifi. cally that prior to the meeting of the Mississip- pi October Convention, John C. Calhoun ad- dressed a letter to Col. C. S. Tapley, a promi. nent Democrat, and a member of the Central meeting, beld in Jackson, in May last. The Whig saya that Mr. Calhoun advised in that letter: Be har eos being deeply interested, 2. He suggests a convention of the Southern States. 3. That the action of the October conven. tion should be followed by action of the State Legislature. 4. That he saw no hope from the North— that the crisis would probably come in less than twelve months. 5. Upon certain events, secession was the only remedy. The Whig remarks as significant facts the presence of Hon. D. Wallace, a member of Congress from South Carolina, at Jackson, when the Convention was held, and his invita. tion to a seat within the bar. “All these matters, says the Vicksbur, Whig, have been long well understood eel It is known that Mr. Calhoun did write as a- foresaid to Mr. Tapley, and it is generally he- lieved that be addressed a somewhat similar letter to a gentleman in Jackson who claims to be, and has for some time been considered a * prominent’ Whig—whether he ever really de- served that distinction will be seen before a great while.” The reader will recollect that in comment. ing, some time since, upon the declaration of Senator Foote, in the Senate, that “the Mis- sissippi Convention was a movement of the people. of that State, and not of the politicians,” a ‘| their measures.

In Mr. Kerr’s communi- @ cation to the Editor of this paper, he made ro ™ attack upon Mr. Toole, as we conceive, unless & an allusion to his being in favor of the Nash: @ ville Convention can be so construed—of which § our readers can judge when we quote the whole & paragraph, and the only one which has any © allusion to the Aurora: a If we have anything to urge upon our north- ern brethren, let us appeal to their sense of Justice and love of Country. For one, I be-’ lieve our northern fellow-countrymen are for 4 the most part both patriotic and enlightened; § and if, upon the subject of slavery, they are ap- § pealed to as brethren—rather than as aliens and foes—they will do right, by co-operating with us to the full extent of their constitutional obli- gations, in securing to the slavebolder the pos. & session and enjoyment of his property. They |) have heretofore—some of them, done wrong— - aye, very wrong—in regard to our fugilive slaves. But those who have thus acted, are but a small portion of the North—they are fran- tic, fanatical disunionists—and as much in {a- vor of the Nashville Convention as Clemens, ' of Alabama, or Toole, of the Auf@ra.” The dispassionate reader can judge whether the Aurora had any very heavy ground of com: plaint against Mr. Kerr for this passage. Yet its Editor published an article in which he is spoken of in a most disreputable and slighting manner, if not in terms of reproach and con- tempt—an injustice too palpable to escape no- lice ; but to call attention to which, wherever Mr. Kerr is known, is all-sufficient. It is not our wish or purpose, however, to enter into any controversy on this subject with the Aurore.— Elsewhere in this No. we have spoken of Mr. Kerr as we thought he deserved, in connection with the subject of the Nashville Convention— and are only sorry that the Aurora has found it necessary to underrate and decry him. We trusted it was not unpardonable in Mr. Toole’s eyes for a man to be a Whig—and hardly tho't it heresy or treason to doubt the expediency of the Nashville Convention, orto make a speech ‘ againet it—however damnning itmay be to men- | tion the name of “ Toole, of the Aurora” with. out praising him. If this should bappen to be Mr. Kerr’s offence, for which he is denounced and nicknamed, we fear there is no redemption for him.— Raleigh Times.

Manly’s re-nomination. So free has been the enunciation of public sentiment on this subject, that, according to our way of think- ing, the delegates have nothing to do but meet and confirm the nomination thus properly made. That the Whigs of the State, as usual, will be led to vietory under his guidance, we have not adoubt. They have never had better grounds to expect a triumph.—Ashboro’ Herald. AWMINISTRATION. Mr. Stanly succeeded in obtaining a Select Committee of nine, on Monday last, under a motion for a suspension of the rules, “to en- quire and report what persons holding office under the last Administration, as clerks in any one of the public offices, auditors, heads of bu- reays, Commission of Patents, or Assistant Postmasters General, were correspondents of newspapers ; wrote for or edited newspapers ; their salaries and compensation forthe same ; aad who, in particular, was the author of cer- tain party essays signed, * Bundlecund,’ and what office he then held. “ And, also, whether, during the last canvass for the Presidency, any of the above named of. ficers absented themselves from their offices and official duties to make speeches and public addresses against the election of Gen.

Rok: Regine ou @4 The Standard says “the Times swears” by the National Intelligencer. ‘The Editor of the Times “ swears” not at all—but if he did, and wanted political fathers to swear by, he knows of none more orthodox, sound and able than Messrs. Gales & Seaton. ‘The reputa- tion of these sterling Whigs, and of their high- ly distinguished paper, is indeed enviable.—. The dignity and ability with which they con- duct it—their fearless approbation of what is right—their uncompromising opposition to all the falsely called “ progress,” innovations, de- moralizing and destructive principles of Loco- focoism—their steady adherence to the safe Old Republican usages and measures of the Government—all these entitle them to the con- fidence and support of all true patriots and lov- ers of their country. But then we know the men, from three years of honorable employ- ment in their office long time ago; to know them was to love and honor them forever. It is our misfortune however, to see their paper but seldom. ‘They send us their weekly paper, it is true ; but from some cause, we have ne- ver been able to get the direction on their books changed, and the paper continues to go to Lou- isburg first—consequently, we hardly ever get it in good time, and sometimes not at all. We hope to be able, some day, to subscribe for every paper we want. But the Nashville Con- vention is dead, and the National Intelligencer was prominent among its slayers. Hence it must be bitterly abused by the Standard and its Locofoco kindred. The Union is their politi- cal Bible-—Ral. Times. THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION. Nit ve Mortuis, &c. From an official statement in the “ Milledge- ville Recorder,” we find that the number of votes polled in Georgia for Delegates to the Nashville Convention is much smaller, even, than we had been led to suppose. Polls were actually not opened in something like half the Counties ; and the entire number of votes cast was 3722 !—not one éwenty-fifth of the votes The people, the intelligent, re. flecting, conservative voters of Georgia, have thus taught demegegucs and political tricksters a lesson, which will not soon be erased front their memory. They have administered a re. buke, which, we hope, will not be without its salutary effect elsewhere. In North Carolina, the Convention has been killed quite as effectually as in Georgia, though by an entirely different process. The Whig Press ot the State, assisted by such patriots as Juhn Kerr, Kenneth Rayner, John H. Haugh. ton, Henry W. Miller, and a host of gallant spirits, have given it a quietus, from which, so far as this State 1s concerned, it cannot speed. ily awake. All bonor to them! They are entitled to that high praise, which has been the deserving reward of patriotism in all ages and all Countries. Let them be denounced and vilified, they can afford to withstand it all, in the consciousness of the good they have wrought. Besides the approbation of every lover of the Union that awaits them, they are without “Those guilty thoughts—those tyrants of the soul That steal in unseen, and stab thei to the quick.” Raleigh Register. 0 The Editor of the North State Whig, in his spirited manner, rebukes the abuse which Mr. Stanly has received from a portion of the Whig press in the State. One or two Editors, who choose to differ with Mr. Stanly, or mis- conceive and misrepresent him, in connection with the late speech which he delivered in Congress, have joined with the avowed ene. mies of the Whig party in this hue and cry into the hands, and very pleasantly too, if we may judge by the peculiar unction with which iheir paragraphs are copied, commended, ap- plauded, and the aforesaid Editors patted on the back by the Locofocracy. Those Whig papers which denounced Mr. Stanly were for the Nashville Convention, we suppose—and his chief offence was in opposing thatunlawful gathering. We rather think there is but little doubt that the people of North Caro- ple of his District we know are, for they refus- Who then presses? ‘They may answer the question them- Gov.

Since then there have been officially reported to me the following number of shares from the respective counties, on which the five per cent. have been paid :—Forsyth 325, Davidson 128, Guilford 145, Buncombe 89, Iredell 100, Wake 154.

Clif: | Webster, were in attendance io the | Judicial Court, on Saturday morning and were ready to hear and pg ents in favor of a writ of error as were tobe adduced by the prisuner’s counsel, Messt Sohier; but after.a short confere d n the counsel on both sides and Judge Fletcher, |. it was agreed to postpone the discussion until June, at. which time a full bench will be in session. The alledged esror is in the mode of certifying the indictment trom the Municipal to the Supreme Court. and is founded on the 4th section of the act of 1844. The statute prescribes that a capital indict- meant shall be certified up to the Supreme Court by the Clerk of the Municipal Court; also, that a notice that it has been so certified up shall be served upon the accused, and it is a- verred that the records do not set forth the or- der for certifying up, nor the order for notifying the prisoner. In Professor Webster’s case the Clerk certified the indictment, as he did in Gocde’s case; and indeed in all preceding cases, so far as he can recollect. If there be anything in the law of 1844 itself upon whieh a writ of error can be based, it will be strongly met by “precedents, and what has been the practice in cases very similar to the one now at: issue.” 07 Tue Members of Davidson Division, No, 66, Sons of Temperance, intend having a Celebration on the } 20th inst. -Four gentlemen of consummate and ac- knowledged worth will address them on that day.

Village Aristocracy. Many are the follies'and weaknesses of haman nature. But none are more con- temptible than those acted out by the scrub aristocrats of our towns and villages. These are to be found in al! the relations of life. A young man, whose father was a hard working mechanic, either has a moderate fortune left to him, or he mar- ries a few thousand dollars—and forthwith he puts on airs, and assumes an impor- tance, perfectly disgusting to all who are acquainted with the circumstances of his ‘rise and progress,” in the world. Sach young men regard as beneath their dignity the vocation of their parents, and not un- frequently avoid letting it be known that they sprang from such and such sources. We have even met with some who have looked upon the vocation of an humble mechanic, as beneath the dignity of a gen- | _tleman, forgeting, meanwhile, that the. taint of the father attaches to the son !— Pride of this kind, never finds a resting place. save in a weak brain, and mani- fests itselfin a perverse temper. There are many young men in our. towns and villages, (and young ladies too) who seem to be proud of the wealth of their parents—while theirown reputations | would be soiled by associating with the sons of mechanics. In their strange infat- vation, it never occurs to them, that their | fathers made all their property by down- (right stealing, cheating, and lying—while their grand-fathers were sold at ublic | , hel , ee | Carolina, at the next Court to be held at auction, in our sea ports, to pay their pas.

HARDEN, Sin:—We use paint on our wooden buildings with twoobjects: first, ornament; second, durability. Was oil used by itself without any coloring matter, the wood would be made more durable than it is with paint: but as ornament is a consid erable part of the objects of painting, and as the addition of paint to the oil, when properly prepared, does not very materi- ally injure the preservative qualities of the oil, the ornamental effect of the color- ing more than counterbalances the injury it does. Paint when properly prepared, therefore while it is highly ornamental to wooden buildings, so materially contrib- utes towards their durability, that there is economy in using it. Butasit is general- ‘Jy prepared. (I may say always.) the orna- mental effect of it on the outside of build- ings is made only temporary, and fs pre- servative qualities wholly destroyed. It js only necessary to look at our quickly decaying wooden buildings, with the paint washed off more or less in different places, according as it is exposed tothe sun and rain, to be satisfied that the expense of painting has added very little towards preserving the building; and whether a building looks better without paint, or with paint nearly all washed off, with here and there a little remaining to show that it was painted, taste must determine. If what | have stated be a fact, that paint as mostly prepared, is of little value, it will be well to look into the cause of it that the evil may be removed; and if I give the correct cause, happily the evil is removed without expense or trouble: or rather it is cheaper to paint well than in this defective manner. leave out the spirits of turpentine, and we will have good paint. Ask the painter why he adds it to the paint and he will tell you to make it dry quick. This is just the same as Saying, to destroy the oil which renders the paint useless. Now Jet us reason upon it and see if this is cor rect. If we pour oil on wgod it soaks into it, and after it is all soaked up, if we ap ply more oil it will strike still deeper and soak up more; when it has penetrated sufficiently deep into the wood as to pre vent moisture {rom rain, &c., penetrating as deep as itself, the wood is rendered very lasting. This would be the case if the building was simply covered with two coats of oil without paint. If we give it only one coat of oil, with a sufficient quantity of paint togive it color, the wood would so quickly soak up the oil that the paint would be left a dry powder on the building, that would be easily rubbed or washed off. If we give it first a coat of oil with a little paint added to it, the oil | soaks into the pores, another coat of oi! with the proper quantity of paint, while the pores are filled with the recently put on, or first coat, remains sufficiently long before the oi] is soaked up by the pores. for a part of it to dry with the paint which forms a permanent covering of paint.— This is the advantage of giving two coats of paint ; if the first coat was oil only. it would be better. Whena house is thus painted, all the injury done by the paint, isthe oil which it retains and prevents from soaking into the wood, and this is in part, perhaps wholly, counterbalanced in forming a firm external covering which tends to exclude moisture ; thus painted a building is preserved and ornamented.— Now what will be the effect of adding Spirits of turpentine tothe oil? We know of nothing better calculated to destroy our intentions in the use of both the oil and paint than the addition of turpentine to the oil. Every housekeeper knows that if oil is on her floor, spirits of turpentine is | the application to remove it. Every wash-woman knows that if oil is on her clothes turpentine is the application to remove it; and how does it remove it when the oil and turpentine are added together? A chemical union takes place, and the qualities of both are destroyed, and al- though either the oil or turpentine by themselves when applied on wood would add to its durability, yet when added to- gether the original qualities of both are destroyed and the application is useless, jUst as an acid and alkali, when mixed to. gether, destroy the qualities of each other and the effect of neither remains. Now when a building is painted with two coats of paint to which spirits of turpentine is added, instead of the first covering of oil, (which has very little paint.) being soaked up, and the second covering, as the pores are already fed, soaking up the oil so slow that a part of the oil may dry in the paint thus making a firm coat of paint on the surface, which will exclude moisture and prevent the evaporation of the oil, thus making the wood almost as lasting as time, and the culor to remain as long as the wood lasts ; what will! be the effect of this addition of spirits of turpentine? The oil is decomposed, and instead of soaking into the wood and slowly drying in the paint to give a firm covering, it is quickly evaporated by the sun, the paint is left a useless powder on the surface; where it is not sheltered from the rain it is soon ly gets wet without being washed off, as the qualities of the oi! are destroyed, it re- tains moisture and hastens decay. We Have only to go to a house which was painted white and examine the somewhat Sheltered spots where they get wet by showers, yet the rain does not beat upon them soas to wash off the paint, and Scratch off the paint, and we will find the surface in a state of decay from the paint not excluding the moisture but retaining it.

If we examine the shingles and weather boarding of a house, where- ever we find a knot or fat place, there the oil is decomposed by the turpentine in the wood. and the paint destroyed, even where no spirits of turpentine was added to the paint. Does not this truth, which I be- lieve all will allow, that turpentine makes paint dry quick, prove that instead of soaking into the wood the oil is decom- posed and evaporates. show the destruc. tive effect of this addition of spirits of tur- pentineto paint and although the inside painting to houses remains when turpen- tine has been added. Yet it would be more durable if the turpentine were left out. The oldest paintings we have, ap- pear as warm and glowing, as when first executed, while the paintings of the first | masters of modern times are injured, most- ly as I think by the free use of turpentine. The fine paintings of even Sir Joshua Reynold are losing their beauty. By some it is supposed that the paints now used are not as good as they were in former days. ’Tis not the fault of the materials, but the preparation. Oil for instance, and white lead are as good now as they ever were, and were they used without turpen- tine or anything else, as the painters say, | to make them dry, (or as we say to de | compose the oil and destroy it.) would | last as long and be as good as they ever were. If we calculate the annual amount of money used in the purchase of turpen- | tine and to this add the amount of loss 'from the injury it does we will find it an enormous expense. From such trials as [have made, I believe the palma christi oil to be superior to flax-seed oil for pre- serving wood. Ifthe two oils be put on _wood, the palma christi oil will be found /mucb more difficult to remove by decom- | posing with turpentine, which is proof it will be found most durable. Palma chris- ta oil, when properly prepared by boiling _is as clear and as good as cold pressed oil. | A good acre of land will produce 20 or 30 gallons of it. Planters who wish to paint their buildings would be able to make the best of paint oil by cultivating a few a- cres of it, and when durability, more than ornament is the object, as in out buildings, gates, &c., giving them two coats palma christa oil, without paint, would have the desired effect. The posts of my pigeon house, which were dipped in palma chris- ta oil, hot, before they were put in the ground, looked like they would last for | generations to come ; while the posts a- bout the yard, garden. &c., are considera- ibly decayed. Was the exposed six or eight inch of shingles dipped in a hot pot of palma christa oil, the expense would be trifling and they would be everlasting. Some years by neglect, a pot of oil, with | which I was experimenting, was spoiled _by burning, the roof of the house, which was very low, the building being deep in hill side, I threw the oil on the house roof; on taking this house down a few days ago these shingles were found as sound and as clear of moss as when put on while _the others were much decayed. But the durability thus obtained would not be the only object ; it is known that all shingles become covered with a mossy growth ; this growth is nearly as quick to take fire as spunk: the smallest spark that falls upon it when dry takes fire. sparks falling on the roof, do so from this mossy growth, which never is produced on wood that is oiled ; where shingles dip- ped in hot oil before puting them up, it would be a preventative of fire from sparks. A few days ago during almost a _calm at mid day when only a few coals | were in the fire place, my house roof was discovered to beonfire. As there was no ladder nor any way of getting to the fire, | it seemed as if the house would burndown. A very strong man however, by getting in the window of a house not far off, was able to deaden the fire a little by throw- ing water with great strength : some drops would reach the fire ; thus some little time was given for reflection. A man with great muscular strength with a small hatchet commenced cutting through the ceiling and sheetirg. The fire began to Report of the Select Committee of Thirteen. Mr. Clay, from the Select Committee of Thirteen, to whom were referred various reso- lutions relating to California, to other portions of the Territory recently acquired by the Uni- ted States from the republic of Mexico, and to other subjects connected with the institution of slavery, submitted the following REPORT : The committee entered on the discharge of their duties with a deep sense of their great importance, and with earnest and anxious so- licitude to arrive at such conclusions as might be satisfactory to the Senate and to the coun- try. Most of the matters referred have been not only subjected to extensive and serious pub. lic discussion throughout the country, but to a debate in the Senate itself, singular for its elab. oratenese and its duration ; so that a full expo. sition of all those motives and views which, on have determined the conclusions at which they have arrived, seems quite unnecessary. They will, therefore, restrict themselves to a few gen- eral observations, and to some reflections which grow out of those subjects. Out of our recent territorial acquisitions, and in connexion with the institution of slavery, questions most grave have sprung, which, great- ly dividing and agitating the people ot the Uni- ted States, have threatened to disturb the har- mony, if not to endanger the safety, of the Un. ion. The committee believe it to be highly desirable and necessary speedily to adjust all those questions, in a spirit of concord, and in a manner (o produce, if practicable, general satisfaction. ‘They think it would be unwise to leave any of them open and unsettled, to fes- ter in the public mind, and to prolong, if not aggravate, the existing agitation. It has been their object, theretore, in this report, to make such proposals and recommendations as would accomplish a general adjustment of all those questions. Among the subjects referred to the commit- tee, which command theic first attention, are the resolutions offered to the Senate by the Senator from Tennessee, Mr. Bell. By a pro- vision in the resolution of Congress annexing Texas to the United States, it is declared that “ new States of convenient size, not exceeding four in number, in addition to said State of ‘Texas, and having sufficient population, may hereafier, by the consent of said State, be form. ed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entilled to admission under the provisions of the Federal Constitution ; and such States as may be formed out of that portion of said territory lying south of 86° 30’ north latitude, common. ly known as the Missouri compromise line, shall be admitted into the Union with or without slavery, as the people of each State asking ad- mission may desire.” The committee are unanimously of opinion, that whenever one or more States, formed out of the territory of Texas, not exceeding four, having sufficient population, with the consent of Texas, may apply to be admitted into the Union, they are entitled to such admission, be- Perhaps nine out of ten houses that take fire from’ yond all doubt, upon the clear, unambiguous, | and absolute terms of the solemn compact con- | tained in the resolution of annexing adopted by Congress and assented to by Texas. But, whilst the committee conceive that the right of admission into the Union of any new States carved out of the territory of Texas, not ex- , ceeding the number specified, and under the conditions stated, cannot be Justly controverted, | the committee do not think that the formation | of any such new States should now originate | with Congress. The initiative, in conformity | with the usage w:ich has heretofore prevailed, | should be taken by a portion of the people of | Texas themselves. desirous of constituting a | new State, with the consent of Texas. And in the formation of such new State, it will be | for the people composing it to decide for them. | selv2s whether they will admit or will exclude i slavery. And however they may decide that | purely municipal question, Congrees is bound | to acquiesce, and to fulfi] in good faith the stip- | ulations of the compact with Texas. The com. | mittee are aware that it has been contended | that the resolution of Congress annexing Tex- , 48 was unconstitutional. At a former epoch of | our country’s history, there were those (and | Mr. Jefferson, under whose auspices the treaty of Louisiana was concluded, was among them) | who believed that the States formed out of Lou- | isiana could not be received into the Union without an amendment of the Constitution.— But the States of Louisiana, Missouri, Arkan. | sas, and Iowa have been all, nevertheless ad- | mitted. Aud who would now think of oppos- ing the admission of Minnesota, Oregon, or | other new States formed out of ancient prov. | ince of Louisiana, upon the ground of alleged defect of constitutional power? In grave, na. blaze, the wind began to rise, all hope of | tional transactions, while yet in their earlier or extinguishing the fire was gone: he had however, cut a hole through. and was able to tear off the boards and put out the fire, The shingles upon examination were found sound, but they were covered with this mossy growth. A very small spark, must have set it on fire, for upon trial it was found almost as quick to take as gun- powder. Had these shingles been dipped in oil before they were put on the house, I would have been safe from such an acci- dent not only now but for many years to come. Direct trade with Liverpooi.—A mer- chant of this town informs us that a cor- respondent of his in Liverpool advises him that he (the correspondent) bas a ship on the stocks, and is preparing to pui on an- other, both of which will be ran regularly between Liverpool and Wilmington, if sufficient encouragement be given to the enterprise. We commend the matter to the earnest attention of our merchants.— No outlay is requiréd from them for ves- sels. Nothing more than their favor and patronage. Surely these will be given | unhesitatingly.— Wil. Chron, | incipient stages, differences may weil exist ; but when once they have been decided by a constitutional majority, and are consummated, or are in a process of consummation, there can be no other safe and prudent alternative than to respect the decision already rendered, and to acquiesce in it. Entertaining these views, a majority of the committee do not think it ne- cessary or proper to recommend, at this time, or prospectively, any new State or States to be formed out of the Territory of Texas. Should any such State be hereafter formed, and pre- sent itself for admission into the: Union, whe- ther with or without the establishment of slave. ry, it cannot be doubted that Congress will, un. der a full sense of honor, of good faith, and of all the high obligations arising out of the com. pact with Texas, decide, just as it will decide under the influence of similar considerations in regard to new States formed of or out of New Mexico and Utah, with or without the in- stitution of slavery, according to the constitu- tions and judgment of the people who compose them, as to what may be best to promote their happiness. In considering the question of the admission of California as a State into the Union, a ma. jority of the committee conceive that any irre- gularity by which that State was organized withont the previous authority of an act-of Con- grees ought to be overlooked, in consideration the severa] subjects confided to the committee , | best suited to their condition. of the omission by Congress to establish any territorial government for the people of Califor. nia, aud the consequent necessity which they were under to create a government for them. selves best adapted to their own wants, There are various instances, prior to the case of Cal- ifornia, of the admission of new States into the Union without any previous authorization by Congress. The sole condition required by the Constitution of the United States in respect to the admission of a new State is, that its con- stitution shall be republican in form. Califor. nia presents such a constitution ; and there is no doubt of her having a greater population than that which, according to the practice of the government, has been heretofore deemed sufficient to receive a new State into the Un. ion. In regard to the proposed boundaries of Ca). ifornia, the committee would have been glad if there existed more full and accurate geograph- ical knowledge of the territory which those houndaries include. There is reason to believe (iat, large as they are, they embrace no very dis, -oportionate quantity of land adapted to cultivation. And it is known that they contain extensive ranges of mountains, deserts of sand, and much productive soil. It might have been, perhaps, better to have assigned to California a more limited front on the Pacific; but even if there had been reserved on the shore of that ocean a portion of the boundary which it pre- sents for any other State or States, it is not ve- ry certain that an accessible interior of suffi- cient extent could have been given to them to render an approach to the ocean through their own limits of any great importance. A majority of the committee think there are many and urgent concurring considerations in favor of admitting Calitornia with the proposed boundaries, and of securing to her at thia time the benefits of a State government. If, here- after, upon an increase of her population, a more thorough exploration of her territory, and an ascertainment of the relations which may arise between the people occupying its various parts, it should be fuund conducive to their convenience and happiness to form a new State out of California, we have every reason to believe, from past experience, that the ques. tion of its admission will be fairly considered and justly decided. A majority of the committee, therefore, re- commend to the Senate the passage of the bill reported by the committee on Territories for the admission of California as a State into the Union. ‘To prevent misconception, the com. mittee also recommend that the amendment reported by the same committee to the bill a- dopted, so as to leave incontestable the right of the United States to the public domain and other public property in California. Whilst a majority of the committee believe it to be necessary and proper, under actual cir- cumstances, to admit California, they think it quite as necessary and proper to establish go. vernments for the residue of the territory de- rived from Mexico, and to bring it within the pale of the Federal authority. ‘The remote. ness of that territory from the seat of the Gen. eral Government; the dispersed state of its population ; the variety of races—pure and mited—of which it consists; the ignorance of some of the races of our laws, languages, and habils ; their exposure to inroads and wars of savage tribes; and the solemn stipulations of the treaty by which we acquired dominion over them, impose upon the United States the imperative obligation of extending tothem pro- tection and of providing for them government and !aws suited to their condition. Congress will fail in the performance of a high duty if it does not give, or attempt to give, to them the benefit of such protection, guvernment, and laws. They are not now, and for along time to come may not be, prepared for State govern. ment. ‘The territoria] form, for the present, is A bill has been reported by the Committee on Territories, divi- ding all the territory acquired from Mexico not | produced by the conflict of opinion on the slave. comprehended within the limits of California | ry question, existing as this institution does in | decided is, whether the good which it contains { _On the other hand, there are other members strained, it is urged, to take or reject both.— who would be willing to vote for both united, but would fee] themselves constrained to vote against the California bill if it stood alone.— Each party finds in the bill which it favors something which commends it to acceptance, and in the other, something it disapproves.— The true ground, therefore, of the objection to | the union of the measures is not any want of affinity between them, but, because of the fa- vor or lisfavor with which they are respective. ly regarded. In this conflict of opinion, it seems to a majority of the committee that a spirit of mutual-concession enjoins that the two measures should be connected together; the effect of which will be, that neither opinion will exclusively triumph, and that both may find in such an amicable arrangement enough of good to reconcile them to the acceptance of the combined measure. And such a course of leg. islation is not at a!l unusual. Few Jaws have ever passed in which there were not parts to which exception was taken. It is inexpedient, if not impracticable, to separate these parts, and embody them in distinct bills, so as to ac- commodate the diversity of opinion which ex. ist. The Constitution of the United States contained in it a great variety of provisions, to some, of which serious objections was made in the convention which formed it by different members of that body ; and when it was sub. mitted to the ratification of the States, some of them objected to some parts, and others to oth. er parts of the same instrument. Had these various parts and provisions been separately acted on in the convention, or separately sub- mitted to the people of the United States, it is by no means certain that the Constitution it. self would ever have been adopted or ratified. Those who did not like particular provisions found compensation in other parts of it, And in all cases of constitutions and Jaws, when ei- ther is presented as a whole, the question to be is not of greater amount, and does neutralize any thing exceptionable in it. And as nothing human is perfect, for the sake of that harmony so desirable is such a confederacy as this, we must be reconciled to secure as much as we can of what we wish, and be consoled by the reflection that what we do not exactly like is a friendly concession, and agreeable to those who being united with us in a common destiny, it is desirable should always live with us in peace and concord. A majority of the committee have, therefore, been led to the recommendation to the Senate that (wo measures be united. The bill for es. tablishing the two Territories, it will be ob- served, omits the Wilmot proviso, on the one ; lesico, and the same angle in the line.of ae set apart fur the Indians by the Vait Ifthis boundary be assented to by Texas,she will be quietted to that. extent in her tide,— And some ma that, in consideration of this concession by the Uaited States, she might, without any any claim she has beyond the proposed bound- ary; that is, any claim to any part of New Mexico, But, under the influence of @ senti- ment of justice and great liberality, the bill.pre- poses to Texas for her relinquishment of auy such claim, a large pecuniary equivalent. As portion of the debt of Texas was created on.a pledge to ber creditors of the duties on foreign imports transferred by the resolution of annex. ation to the United States, and now received and receivable ia their treasury, a majority of the commitiee recommended the payment of the sum of millions of dollars to Texas, to be applied in the first instance to the extinction of that portion of her debt for the reimbursement of which the duties on foreign imports were pledged as aforesaid; and the residue iv such manner as she muy direct. The said eunaris to be paid in by the United States in a stock, to be created, bearing five per cent, interest annually, payable half yearly at the treasury of the United States, and the principal reimburs- able at the end of fourteen years. According to an estimate which has been made, there are included in the territory to which it is propssed that Texas shal! relinquigh her claim, embracing that part of New Mexico lying east of the Rio Grande, 124,933 square miles, and about 79,957 120 acres of land. From the proceeds of sale of this land, the United States may ultimately be reimbursed a portion, if not the whole of the amount of what is thus proposed to be advanc- ed to Texas. It cannot be anticipated that Texas will de- cline to accede to these liberal propositions ; but if she should, it is to be distinctly under. stood that the title of the United States to any territory acquired from Mexico East of the Rio Grande will remain unimpaired and in the same condition as if the proposals of adjustment now offered had never been made. A majority of the committee recommend to the Senate that the section containing these proposals to Texas shal] be incorporated into the bill embracing the admission of California as a State, and the establishment of territorial governments for Utah and New Mexico. The definition and establishment of the boundary between New Mexico and Texas has an inti. mate and necessary connection with the estab. lishment of a territorial government for New Mexico. To form a territorial government for New Mexico, without presogibing the limits of the territory, would leave the work imperfect and incomplete, and might expoee New Mexi. co to serious controversy, if not-dangerous col- lisione, with the State of Texae. And most, if not all, the considerations which unite in favor of combining the bill for admission of Califor. nia as a State and the territorial bills apply to the boundary question of Texas. By the Un. ion of the three measures, every question of difficulty and divieion which has arisen out of hand, and, on the other, makes no provision | for the introduction of slavery into any part of | the new ‘Territories. That proviso has been | the fruitfel source of distraction and agitation. It it were adopted and applied to any territory, it would cease to have any obligatory force as soon as such territory were admitted as a State into the Union. ‘There was never any occa- sion for it, to accomplish the professed object with which it was originally offered. This has been clearly demonstrated by the current of | events. California, of all the recent territorial | acquisitions from Mexico, was that in which, if | anywhere within them, the introduction of slavery was most Jikely to take place ; and the | constitution, has expressly interdicted it. There | is the highest degree of probability that Utah and New Mexico will, when they come to be | admitted as States, follow the example. The | proviso is, as to all these regions in common, | a mere abstraction. Why should it be any longer insisted on? ‘Totally destitute, ag it is, | of*any practical import, it has, nevertheless, | had the pernicious effect to excite serious, if | not alarming, consequences. It is high time | that the wounds which it has inflicted should | be healed up and closed ; and that. to avoid, in all future time, the agitations which must be into two Territories, under the names of New | some of the States and prohibited as it is in| ' Mexico and Utah, and proposing for each a ' others, the true principle which ought to regu. | ty of both. It ie now well known and incon. | late the action of Congress in forming territo- | testable that citizens in slaveholding States en- territorial government. The Committee recommend to the Senate | ithe establishment of those territorial govern. ments ; and in order more certainly to secure that desirable object, they also recommend that the bill for their establishment be incorporated in the bill for the admission of California, and that, united together, they both be passed. The combination of the two measures in the same bill is objected to on various grounds. It is said that they are incongruous, and have nc necessary connection with each other. A ma. jority of the committee think otherwise. The object of both measures is the establishment of | government suited to the conditions respective- ly, of the proposed new State and of the new Territories. Prior to their transferto the Uni. ted States, they both formed a part of Mexico, where they stood in equal relations to the Gov. ernment of that Republic. They were both ceded to the United States by the same treaty. And in the same article of that treaty, the Uni. ted States solemnly engaged to protect and go- vern both. Common in their origin, common in their alienation from one foreign government to another, common in their wants of good gov. ernment, and conterminous in some of their boundaries, and alike in many particwars of physical condition, they have nearly every thing in common in the relations in which they stand to the rest of this Union. There is then, a gen- eral fitness and propriety in ettending the pa- rental care of government to both in common, If California, by a sudden and extraordinary augmeatation of population, has advanced so rapidly as to mature her for State Government, that furnishes no reason why the less fortunate Territories of New Mexico and Utah should be abandoned and left ungoverned by the United States, or should be disconnected with Califor- nia, which, although she has organized for her- self a State government, must be legally and constitutionally regarded asa Territory watil she is actually admitied as a State in the Union. It is further objected, that by combining the two measures in the same bill, members who may be willing to vote for one and unwilling to yale for the other, would be ‘placed in an embarrassing condition, They. wotid be epn- | rial governments for each newly acquired do. /main isto refrain from all legislation on the subject in the territory acquired, so long as it retains the territorial form of government— | | leaving it to the people of such Territory, when they have attained to a condition which enti- tles them to admission as a State, to decide for the territoria) acquisitions from Mexico will, it is hoped, be adjusted, or placed in a train of satisfactory adjustment. Thé committee, avail. ing themselves Sf“the arduous and valuable Ja. bors of the Commitige on Territories, report a bill, herewith annexed, (marked A,) embracing those three measures, the passage of which, uniting them together, they recommend to the Senate. The committee will now proceed to the con- sideration of, and to report upon, the subject of persons owning service or labor in one State escaping into another* The text of the Con- stitution is quite clear: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, éscaping into another, shall, in conse- quence of any law or regulation therein, be dis- charged from such labor or service, but shall be dclivered up on the claim of the party to whom such service or labour may be due.”— Nothing can be more explicit than this lan- guage—nothing more manifest than the right to demand, and the obligation to deliver up to the claimant, any such fugitive. And the Consti- tution addresses itself alike to the States conf. posing the Union and to the General Govern- ment. If, indeed, there were any difference in the duty to enforce this portion of (W® Con. jauiuiion between the States and the Federal Government, it is more clear that it is that of | the former than of the latter. But it is the du- | counter the greatest difficulty in obtaining the | benefit of this provision of the Conagtution.— | The attempt to recapturg a fugitive ¥s almost always a subject of great irritation and excite. ment, and often leads to most unpleasant, if "hot perilous, collisions.

The com. | States, without imminent personal hazard.— | mittee believe that they express the anxious | This is a deplorable state of thinus, which | | | desire of an immense majority of the people of the United States, when they declare that it is high time that good feelings, harmony, and fra- terna) sentiments should be again revived, and that the Government should be able once more to proceed in ils great operations to promote the happines# and prosperity of the country undis- turbed by this distracting cause. As for California, far from feeling her sensi- bility affected by her being associated with oth- er kindred measures—she ought to rejoice and be highly gratified that in entering into the Un. ion, she may have contributed to the tranquility and happiness of the great family of States, of which, it is to be hoped, she may one day be a distinguished member. The committee beg leave to report on the subject of the northern and western boundary of Texas. On that question a great diversity of opinion has prevailed. According to one view of it, the western limit of Texas was the Nueces ; according to another, it extended to the Rio Grande, and stretehed from its mouth to its source. A majority of the committee, hav. ing come to the conclusion of recommending an amicable adjustment of the boundary with Texas, abstain from expressing any opinion as to the true and legitimate western and northern boundary of that State. The terms proposed for such an adjustment are contained in the bill | herewith reported, and they are, with incon. siderable variation the same as that reported by the committee on Territories. According to these terms, it is proposed to Texas that her boundary be recognised to the Rio-Grande-and up thal riverto the point com. monly called E] Paso, and ‘ruining thence up that river twenty miles meaeured thereon by a ought to be-remedied. The law of 1793 has been found wholly ineffectual, and requires |More stringent enactments. ‘There is, espe. _cially, a deficiency in the number of public ; functionaries authorized to afford aid in the _ seizure and arrest of fugitives. Various States | have declined to afford aid and co-operation in the surrender of fugitives from labor, as the /committee believe, from-a misconception of their duty arising under the Constitution of the United States.

But the _ committee cannot but believe that the intention _of the Supreme Court has been misunderstood. | They cannot but think that that court merely | mean! the laws of the several States which cre. , ated obstacles in the way of the recovery of fu- | gitives were not authorized by the core | and not that State Jaws affording facilities inthe ‘recovery of fugitives were forbidden by that | instrument. | The non-slaveholding States, whatever sym- | pathies any of their citizens may feel fur per- | sons who eseape from aiher States, cannot dis- ' charge themselves-from an obligation to enforce the Constitution of the United States.

And when that trial does take place, it is in the State or country trom which the party has fled, and not in that in which he has found refuge. By the express language of the Constitution, whether the fugitive is heldto service oc jabor or not, is to be determined by the laws of the State from which he fled ; and, consequently, it is most proper that the trib. nals of that State should expound and adminis- ter its own laws. If there have been any in- stances of abuse inthe erroneous arrest of fu- have not’oblained knowledge of them. They that none such have occurred, and that such are not likely to oceur, Batyin order to guard against the possibility of their oceurrence, the committee have prepar- ed, and herewith report, (marked B,) a section, to be offered to the fugitive bill now pending belure the Senate. According to this section, ihe owner of a fugitive from service of labor iz, when practicable, to carry with him to the State ia which the person is found a record, eo a competent tribunal, adjudicating the facts of elopement and slavery, with a general description of the fugitive. ‘This cecord, prop. erly attested and certified under the official seal of the court, being take@ to the State where the person owing service or labor is found, is to be held competent and sufficient evidence of the facts which hed been adjudicated, and willleave nothing more to be dope than to identify the fugitive. Numerous petitions have heen presented, praying fora trial by jury in the case of arrest of fugitives {rom service or labor, in the non- slaveholding States. It has been already shown that this would be entirely contrary to practice and unifuras usage in all similar cases. Under the name ot a popular and cherished institution —an institution, however, never applied in cas- es of preliminary proceeding, and only in cases of final trial—there would be a complete mock- ery of justice, 60 fay as the owner of the fugi- tive is concerned. If the trial by jury be ad- mitted, it would draw after it ils usual conse. quences, of continuance {from time to time, to bring evidence from distant places, of second or new trials, ia cases where the jury is hung, or the verdict is set aside ; and of revisals of the verdict and conduct of the juries by competent tribunals. During the progress of al] these dilatory and expensive proceedings, what security ia ibere as to the custody and forthcoming of the fugitive upon their termina. tion? And it, finally, the claimant should be successful, contrary to what happens in ordina- ry litigation between free persons, he would have to bear all the burdens and expense, of the litigation, without indemnity, and would learn by sad experience, that he had by far better have abandoned his rignt in the first instance, than to establish it at such unremunerated coat and heavy sacrifice. But whilst the committee conceive that a trial by jury in a State where a fugitive trom service or labor is recaptured would be a virtual denial of justice to the claimant of such fugitive, and would be tantamount to a positive refusal to ex- acute the provisions of the Constitution, the same objections do not apply to such a trial in the State from which he fled.- In the slave. holding States, full justice is administered, with entire fairness and impartiality, in cases of all actions for freedom. The person claiming his freedom is allowed to sue in forma pauperis ; counsel is assigned him; time iz allowed him to colleet his witnesses and to attend the ses. sions of the court ; and his claimant is placed under bond and security, or is divested of the possession during the progress of the trial, to in- sure thé enjoyment of these privileges; and if there be any leaning on the part of courts and juries, it is always on the side of the claimant In deference to the feelings and prejudices which prevail in the non-slaveholding States, the cocgmittee propose such a trial in the State from which the fugitive fled, iv all cases where he declaifes to the officer giving the certificate for hia return that he hasa right to his freedom. Accordingly, the committee have prepared, and report herewith, (marked C,) two sections. | which they recommend should be incorporated | in the fugitive bil] pending in the Senate. Ac- cording tasthese sections, the claimant is placed under bund, and required to return the fugitive | to that county in the State from which he fled, and there to take him before a competent tri- bunal, and allow him to assert and establish bis freedom if be can, affording to bim for that purpose all needful tacilities. ‘The committee indulge the hope that if the fugitilve bill, with the proposed amendments, shall be passed by Congress, it will be effectual to secure the recovery of all fugitives from ser- vice or babor, and that it will remove all causes of complaint which have hitherto heen experi- enced on that irritating subject. But if in its practical operation it shall be found insuffi. tive slaves, those owners*will have a just title to indemnity out of the Treasury of the United Siates. lt remains to report upon the resolutions in relation to slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia. Without discussing the power of Congress tu abolish slavery within the Distriet, in regard to which a diversity of opinion exists, the committee are of opinion thateit ought not to be abolished. It could not be Without indispensable conditions, which are not likely to be agreedto. It could not be done withoul exciling great apprehension and alarm in the slave States. If the power were exercised withiu this District, they would ap- prehend that, undes some pretext or another, it might be hereafier attempted to be exercised within the slaveholding States, It is true that at present all such power within those States is almost unanimously disavowed and disclaim. ed in the free States. But experience in public _ sffairs bas too often shown that where there is ‘adesire todoa particular thing, the power to ucenmplish it, svoner or later, will be found or assumed, ; or does the number of slaves within the District make the abolition of slavery an ob- .

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1850. THE WHIG MEETING. Which was held here on last Monday, was pretty well attended, and it was pleasing to see the interest each one seem- ed to feel in its deliberations. There were some right spicy things said, which would lose in the telling. But upon the whole it was a regular old fashioned agreeable Whig affair. We were especially pleas- ed with Mr. Boyden’s remarks on the sub- ject of a candidate for Governor. They were just and true, and yet mortifying to the day will come, when any citizen whom the people may prefer, shall not be com- pelled to decline serving his fellow citi- zens on the score of pecuniary inabilities, but when the salary of the office shall be proportioned to the circumstances attend- ing the holding of the place. Until then, any party in N. Carolina which shall be able to find a man in their ranks willing to incur the trouble and dead expense of being Governor, may feel thankful. And with the fact staring us in the face, that he who serves North Carolina as Govern- or, works for nothing, save the honor of the service, and finds himself, should, we think, be allowed to claim considerable charity from the people in relation to his acts. It will be seen that the Whigs of Row- an, at least that portion of them which at- tended the meeting. (and we doubt not all will be equally magnanimous,) have re- solved to sacrifice personal preferences, if necessary, and to abide by the decision of the Convention. We had hoped for this. It is right. We must not go into the approaching contest divided and split up among ourselves. Principles are worth more than men, and to secure these, there are few persons in our ranks who would hesitate long which to choose. Let the Whigs stand firm, and the chucklings of our opponents will die away to the weak pipings of a pipped chicken. WHIG MEETING. Pursuant to notice, the Whigs of Row- an held a meeting at the Court House in this place, on Monday last. On motion, Wm. P. Graham, Esq., was called to the Chair, and Dr. Hugh Kelly and J. J. Bruner, were elected Secretaries. Mr. Boyden explained the object of the meeting, to wit: the appointment of del- egates to the State Convention to nomi- nate a candidate for Governor ; and con- sultation in regard to bringing out candi- dates for the Legislature. The following resolutions were submit- which, after several brief addresses hy John B. Lord. Esq.. N. Boyden, Esq.. and H. C. Jones, Esq., were unanimously a- dopted. Resolved. That we heartily respond to the call for a Convention of the Whig Party to be held in Raleigh on the 10th June next, to nominate a candidate for Governor, and that we will be represented in that body. Resolvd, To that end the Chairman appoint twenty-five delegates, who shall have power to fill vacancies in their number, Resolved, ‘That we pledge ourselves to give to the nominee of the Convention our cordial and undivided support. On motion. the second Resolution was so amended as to provide for the appoint- ment of fifty delegates instead of twenty- five. The President subsequently reported the following list of delegates to attend the State Convention : Charles Partie, J. M. Coffin, Dr. J. G. Ramsey, Levi Trexler. John F. McCorkle, J. B. Lord, N. Boyden. Dr. A. M. Henderson, H. L. Robards, John Rendleman, O. G. Foard, Neely Barr, R. M. Roseborough, Buckner Crowel, John K. Graham, Calvin S. Brown, Solomon Peeler Dr. R. Johnston, James B.

Jacob Barnhait, Ivy Miller, Dan. iel Wood. On motion, The Chairman and Secretaries were added to the list of delegates. The meeting then took up the subject of bringing forward candidates for the State Legislature; and after comparing views, Col. H. L.

Thesigns, it says, are more cheering There being no further business, on mo- : ' Salisbary mbers and the influencial light, would have sent a thrill of joy to the hundred. They marched to the Metho- dist Church, where, after singing the open- themselves. We cannot do justice to these their efforts. L. Blackmer’s may be char- acterised as eloquent and forcible; Mr. Ricaud’s as beautiful, amusing and inter- esting; and Mr. Jones’ as remarkably practical, plain, and convincing. Either one of these speeches would have been an honor tothe occasion; but taking them all together, they gave to the celebration an interest which is rarely experienced. those scenes which impress themselves indelibly upon the minds of men. The truths which were delivered, the argu- ments advanced. and the sober, manly bearing of the “Sons,” must have con- vinced doubting minds of the good char- acter of the. institution, and of the danger of tampering with intoxicating liquors, as well as the safety of abstaining from its use. The ladies attended at the Church in full force, and lent their loveliness to brighten the hour. The house was crowd ed to overflowing. A large number of gentlemen not being able to get seats blocked up the doors, so that it became difficult to pass in or out. Crowds gath- ered outside around the open windows ; and for an occasion of the kind, the best order was observed throughout, by the numerous spectators. The ceremonies at the Church having been concluded, the procession marched thence through the principal streets to the Division room—their beautiful lights set- ting in a blaze both sides of the streets as they passed. When they came opposite the Store of Mr. E. Myers, bowever, it was observed that their flambeaus paled somewhat. That clever, spirited gentle- man, in honor to the “Sons” and their cause, had illuminated his windows, and sent a flood of rich light all over the street. The procession reached the Temper- ance Hall about half past 10 o’clock.— Nothing occurred to mar the pleasantness of the celebration ; but onthe contrary all, who participated was rendered happier than before, and each one a firmer friend. of Temperance, if possible, than ever. THE COMPROMISE. In the Senate on the 8th inst. Mr. Cray, Chairman of the Committee of thirteen, made his report, accompanied by bills and amend. ments to other bills, to accomplish the much desired object for which they were appointed. We trust this effurt will not be futile, but that it may triumph over the factionists at both ex. tremities of the Union. ‘That it has merit and ought to be adopied is proven by the fact that the Abolitionists are dead against it as well as the disorganizers south of Mason’s and Dixons line. We give the Report in full to-day, and trust it may receive an attentive perusal by ev- ery friend of the Union. Next week we will give the bill for the ad. mission of California, and the bills to establish territorial governments in New Mexico and Utah, together with the proposition to Texas. THE REPUBLIC. Messrs. Bullitt and Sargent, Editors of this paper have retired from the Editorial Chair of the same, and have been succeeded by Allen A. Hall, of Tennessee, who is said to be a ve- ry able, elegant and graceful writer. While the Republic was under the control of Messrs. Bullitt and Sargent, it done good service in the Whig ranks, and we trust it may still perform the same good service. The reason why these gentlemen retired from the management of the Republic is attrib- uted to a misunderstanding bet ween them and the Cabinet. As to what it was about, we are not fully advised.

To this request the J cheerfully acceded. Where- upon Dr. Huex xerse Sen called to the Chair, and Osapian Woonson was appointed Secretary. Mr. Jones being called on, made a few remarks in explanation of the occasion and object of the meeting, and of the great disparity between the interests to be made secure by the proposed subscription and the small- ness of the sum ired. He adverted to the fact that real estate in thé Town of Salisbury had risen at least fifty per cent since the adjournment of the last Legis- lature. Land in the country had also greatly increased in value. Be‘vte that time there were many sellers and few buyers. Now the thing is changed: Lands now are readily sold at a fair value when ever put into the market, and comparatively few are disposed to sell. He said he had no doubt but that-a million of dollars had been added to the value of the property of Rowau.— What, he asked, would be the effect of a failure to make the amount required by the charter. ‘This great accession to the wealth of the country would be at once lost. The fair visidn of better days would vanish into thin air—and a darkness more hopeless and dreary than ever would settle on our fate. The proposition was distinctly made from a neighboring county that we should subseribe $2,000 more to secure and confirm for all time to come this newly created value in our proper- ty. Not only to do that but to spread plenty and hope and cheerfallness over the whole region of country from Charlotte to Goldsborough. Judge J. W. Ellis being called on, made some very interesting and impressive remavks. He called the at- tention of our farmers to the difference in their condi- tion and that of the people of the Eastern part of the State: how conveniently they were situated to markets, while we have to pay one half of zll we make to get the other half to market. How much more easy it was for them, even with poorer lands, to get along in the world, than for us. He mentioned that he had just come from off the extreme Eastern circuit, and he had seen all this and much more that brought to his mind the intolerable hardships of our position. He called the at- tention of our citizens to the fact that these people had no interest in the proposed improvements, and yet from high patriotic feeling only, they had given us a liberal charter. If we fail until the next General Assembly to secure the charter, we need not be surprised if it is then withdrawn.” Judge Ellis made some further ex- cellent remarks, and was followed by Mr. Boyden, who, in a vein of irony and caustic humor, entertained the meeting at the expense somew! at of certain per- sons who were able and deeply Interested in the work, and yet hung back for others to make the road for them. The book was then produced, and in a few minutes twenty-one hundred dollars were subscribed and the five per cent paid down (more than one-third of it in gold.) The usual vote of thanks to the officers of the meet- ing was paseed, and an order that the proceedings be published in the Carolina Watchman and in the Greens- borough Patriot. HUGH KELLY, Chairman. Osapin Woopson, Sec’ry. (> We have still better news for the Rail Road.— We saw the Mecklenburg subscription for $2000 made by two gentlemen, at this place, and the five per cent. paid. A gentleman present from that County, one of the Commissioners, had received authority to subscribe $1000, but had not received the instalment: that spiri- ted gentleman said it was no time to halt at a_ proposi- tion of this kind: Mecklenburg was asked for $2000. He therefore made the subscription in behalf of the gen- tleman who had authorized him to do so, and in behalf of his County. He said he did not want the stock. but he knew his countymen would take it, and he believed they would go even further. This was all in less than four hours after the Guilford letter was received in Salis- bury. The remainder is proposed to be made in subscrip- tions of $2000 each in the following Counties, to wit: Davidson, Guilford, Allamance, Orange, Wake, and in the Town of Wilmington. If any of these communities wish a little to help them out, we will mention that Rowancan do it for them, for that she reports on to-morrow $3,300, instead of $2000 which she was asked for. P. S. We learn that Cabarrus has subscribed $500 more than was reported; and the like sumin Davidson and at Jamestown each; also $5,000 in Guilford, and $1,000 in Wake. From the best accounts there re- mains but $5,700 to be subscribed. Infanticide.—A woman by the name of Sally Doby apparently aged about 25, formerly of Davidson county, but more recently from Burrage’s factory in Mont- gomery county, was arrested at Gold Hill on Thursday last on the charge of mur- dering an infant found dead there on the Tuesday evening before. A Coroner’s in- quest was held on the body of said infant on Thursday, and sufficient evidence was hrought out against Sally Doby to justify her arrest. The case will probably be tried at thisterm of our Superior Court, now in session. Destructive Fire at Charleston.—From the Courier of the 18th inst, we learn that a most destructive fire occurred in that city on the 17th. Three hundred and fifty thousand dol. worth of property is said to have been destroy- ed, most of it under insurance. The fire com. menced in a shed on Adgar’s South wharf, and extended westand to the North wharf. A large quantity of Cotton, and merchandise was de. stroyed. It wasthe work of an incendiary.— Several negroes who were detected in convey- ing off goods were arrested, and two of them committed for trial. Cotton.—The latest news from Liverpool, shows an advance on Cotton, of a quarter of a penny per pound. This had a corresponding effect on the American markets, and Cotton now commands ready sale at an advance on former prices. The Queen of England was safely delivered of a Prince on the lst May. The Life Assurance and Fire Insurance Companies.—We invite the attention of our readers to the interesting communica- tion in this paper, over the signature of “ A friend to the Companies.” The sub- ject of Life Assurance, in this State, is comparatively new. pr The Obituary notice from Morganton is too late to hand for this week.

Since the above was written, we have heard that the owners of the Ettricks and Battersea Cotton Mills in this Town have determined to come down to half work, and only ron their Mills on alternate weeks or alternate fortnights, as the Mano. facturer may deem most expedient. This, of course will reduce the operatives to half wages a reduction which few of them will J be able to stand with convenience. We | deeply regret the stern necessity which forced the owners of these mills to this course. But they were compelled to a- dopt one of three courses: to stop alto gether; to go upon half work, or to ep. counter ruinous losses. They were, we have no doubt, induced to take the course of balf work, as much or more out of re gard forthe operatives as for their own interests.

He says, it is expected that the slack wa ter system will be continued up the Deep River to some point near Franklinsville, in Randolph county. His propositions contemplate. not only a connexion with the Yadkin above the Narrows, but the improvement of the latter river up to Wilkshoro’ and an examination of the South Yadkin with reference to jis sus ceptibility of improvement and connexion with the Catawba river, &c.

The steamer Hibernia arrived at Hali- lax O8 Wednesday, with a week’s later eounts from Europe.

Sales for the week 91.100 bales, of which speculators took 38.000. Flour has advanced 1s per barrel, and js firm. Corn is in good demand, at 4- pout 6d advance. Beef has advanced from 1s to 2s. Pork remains unchanged, but new western is less firm. Hams are jn good demand at previous rates. The Tobacco market is very quiet but holders are firm, and demand the full prices current during the last month. American securities continued in good demand. United States 6’s of 1868 were voted 110111. New York 5’s 1858, 98; Ohio.6’s 101 102; Massachusetts 5's 106 a 107. There is no change to notice in Maryland or other State stocks. The Queen of England has again been safely delivered of a prince. The event occurred on the first of May. Beyond the fact that the Ministry have been again left inthe minority, in matters however of little moment, the proceedings of Parliament, possess no general interest. Eugine Sue received the vote of fall one halfof the army at Paris, and beat his opponent by 8,000 majority. The election passed off quietly, and the Socialists are greatly elated. The Greek difficulty is neither settled or likely to be. GENERAL CONFERENCE. The General Conference of the Metho- dist E. Church met at St. Louis, on the Ist of this month, Bishop Andrews presi- ding. There was no quorum on the first day, but on the 2d the Conference was or- ganized. Dates to the 7th inform us that the Conference would. probably, adjourn on | that day, on account of the cholera, which | had assumed the form of an epidemic.— Seven died of this disease on the 6th and 10 on the 7th.

The committee appointed to inquire icto the extent of the cholera, having reported that there is no cause for alarm. Later despatches, however, say that the alarm from cholera in St. Louis was in- creasing on the 13th.] OHIO CONSTITUTIONAL CON- VENTION. This body assembled on the 61h of May. The first question that came up was the form of the oath proper to be taken by members. It was decided that as the Convention had met to tear down the ex- isting constitution of the State, it would be improper to swear to support it. The members, therefore, swore to support the Constitution of the United States, and to discharge their duties faithfully to the State of Ohio. Wm. Medill was chosen President of the Convention CUBA AND ITS THREATENED INVASION. The papers in this part of the country have, for sev- eral days past, (says the National Intelligencer of the 16th inst.,) abounded in paragraphs of the most extrav- agant nature respecting the gathering and transporta- tion of illegally organized bands, from ports of the Uni- ted States, destined to attempt the subjugation of the Island of Cuba, for the purpose of aggrandizement by that exploit of those who are engaged in it. of the papers the number of persons engaged in thisen- | terprise is said to amount to twelve or thirteen thousand men; another account represents Gen. Quirman, of Mississippi, to be commander of the forces, Gen. Lopez being second in command ; and these stories are equally to be relied upon, neither of them having much founda- tion. The only statement on the subject that we have seen, to which full credit can safely be given, is the following from New Orleans, furnished by Telegraph, and of the latest date: “ it is now currently reported here, and, from the nu- merous indications, believed by many, that an expedi- tion is about forming to invade the Island of Cuba. It is well known that secret preparations are making dai- ly to that effect, and that the matter is fast ripening in- to maturity. For several weeks past the signs have been so ominous that no one can mistake them. Amns, ammunition, and men have already been shipped to Chagres, for the purpose of eluding suspicion, but their | ulterior purpose and destination is to aid in effecting an invasion of Cuba. The Spanish Consul, seeing these things, or rather being informed of them, has dispatch- ed a fast sailing schooner, the swiftest he could obtain, to Havana, with a bearer of despatches in reference to | the matter. There seems to be no doubt that an expe- dition for the above purpose is secretly organizing in this | city.” From Havana, advices have been received of as late date as the 8th instant; at which time great excite- ment existed there, caused by reports (such probably as those transmitted by the Spanish Consul at New Or- leans) of expeditions about to sail for the Island ; the | amount of their numbers, and the places of their sailing and destination being variously stated. Already, under the influence of alarm thua created, together with that Produced by the existence of yellow fever, and that ter- Tible scourge the cholera—the deaths from the latter numbering from 96 to 106 per day, exclusive of the deaths in the Spanish army and navy—al] strangers oe the city, and many also of the respectable Cre- Of these latter classes, a considerable number arrived in the steamer Jeabel, at Charleston a day or two ago ; some of whom are already in this city, and were yes- terday among the spectators of proceedings in both Houses of Congress SOUTHERN PAPER AT WASHINGTON. We have received the meeting of Southern members of Congress, held in the Capitol on the 7th inst., (Senator ‘Turney presiding,) to the expediency of establishiag at Washington & Dewepaper to be devoted to the support and defence of Southern interests.

Yulee, E. Carrington Cabell. We shall notice the substance of the Address more particularly hereafter. It proclaims that the papers in Washington are engaged in “lulling the South into a false security, and in manufacturing there an artificial public sentiment suitable for some “ Presidential plat- form.” If we had any confidence that members of Con- gress were better than the Washington journals in this regard, we should think their reasoning more forcible. They have. at least, given a cruel blow to the Union, the senior editor of which has declared (but not in the Union) his private opinion to be in favour of the Nash- ville Convention.— Richmond Times. The proposed Southern Organ.—We bave read the address adopted by “a large meeting of Southern mem- bers of both Houses of Congress,’ recommending the establishment of a Southern Organ at Washington, and we must say that we are not convinced of the expedien- cy of the scheme. It is not to be denied, in our opinion, that the Southern cause has not been justly represen- ted through the press at Washington during the present controversy. And for that reason, we should have been pleased to see a journal established there temporarily for the single purpose of exposing before Congress and the country the true nature of the great issue now pending. But a permanent organ of Southern sentiment publish- ed at the seat of the Federal Government seems to us {ov well calculated to keep alive that agitation which is now working su dangerously to the South. If design- ed, as is almost avowed, to meet the arguments of the National Era, the Washington Abolition press, the con- troversies between them would be the delight of the fa- natics throughout the North, and much harm would re- su)t from it. The best thing that can be done for South- ern interests is to calm excitement, and avoid disputa- tion upon slavery. This, we trust, will be effected by the adoption of the equitable plan of compromise propos- ed in the Senate. After the success of that, or any oth- er satisfactory measure, we should be glad if the names of North and the South were never again mentioned in Congress. It is rumored that Mr. Ellwood Fisher is to be the editor of the new paper. He is a gentleman who has undoubtedly entitled himself to Southern gratitude for his able lecture in defence of our cause. But he isa thorough disciple of Mr. Calhoun, and his views of the tariff question are so connected with his opinions on the subject of slavery, that we doubt whether he could duce a paper that would be acceptable to the Whig par- ty of the South.—Jb. Another Factory on half Work.—Messrs. Robert J. Walker and Bundleeund Burke wil] be gratified to hear that in addition to the Battersea and Ettrick Factories in this city, the Mechanics’ Manufacturing Company have been compelled to go upon the half work system. Huzza for Free Trade! Huzza for Robert J. Walker! Huzza for Bundlecund Burke! The Compromise.—A Washington despatch to the New York Tribune says: “Mr. Mangum, speaking for himself and other moderate southern senators has to- day privately notified the southern opponents of the Omnibus scheme, that if they persist in their opposition, he and his friends wil] fall back vpon the President’s plan, offering it as their only alternative, and refusing any countenance to future measures of agitation in the South.” here's the terms of insurance~are so luw;that none need be cot off from its benefits ; ao ae | would be very little sympathy for those, w having declined an instirance on thei ety, should subsequently wituess ita destruction by fire. ‘ §ae The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, commenced its operations. under au- spices much more flaitering, than that characterized the Fire Company; owing no doubt to the fact, that public attention in. the State had been previously directed tothe sub. ject of insurance, and the poople were better prepared to examine the subject. This company was chartered at the last ses. sion of the Legislature, and the Directors ex- pected that they might possibly get one bun- dred members the first year; but instead of that amount, they obtained five hundred mem. bers in one year, and among them, many of most prominent, (and in many instances) the most wealthy persons in the State. This institution promises to be of incalcula- ble benefit to those who may be left in needy circumstances ; its charter is formed with di- rect reference to the benefit of widows and or. phans ; leaving them in the full enjoyment of whatever amount their husband and father in. tended to be set aside for their benefit. In its practical operations it is as important to fami- lies, as the law (uow existing in some of the States) which exempts homesteads ts the value of $1,000, from execution of all kinds, only having the advantage of securing five thousand do}lars instead of one thousand. The insurance of negroes in this company, is a subject that should not be overlooked by those who own that class of property. The terms are accommodating, and fairly within the reach of all slave holders :—The company in- sure them at two-thirds their cash value, for one, or for five years; and the fullowing ex- ample will give an idea of the cost. Take for instance a negro 26 years old worth $900, insure two thirds of his value, say $600, at $1 50 on each hundred dollars per annum for five years. Annual amount to be paid will be $9 00, or 14 per cent on the $600. There are few negroes who are so entirely worthless, as not to make it an object to in- sure them at that rate. And it frequently oc- curs that a poor widow, or orphan children own one or two negroes, who are their only 4aneans of support, and where death would cast them pennyless upon the world. How impor. tant then that all such should insure. If the negroes are younger than the age supposed, the premium would be less ; if older, of course it would be a jittle more. The company will insure negroes from the age of 10 to 60, and whites, from 14 to 60 years of age. All persons who insure their own lives, for the whole term of life, participate in the profits of the company ; these profits, it is believed, will in a few years, reduce the premiums for life members to half price.

NORTH CAROLINA INSURANCE COM. PANIES. Messrs. Editors :—The subject of insurance in this State, has received less attention than in any other of the older States of the Union. These persons who had occasion to apply for insurance, either on Life or property have been generally disposed to patronize Northern Com. panies, having agencies in our larger Towns, These companies have invariably fixed their rates of premium so high. as to be beyond the reach of any but merchants or wealthy farmers, &v., &c., and the result bas been that persons of moderate means were entirely cut off from the benefits of insurance: Notwithstanding the smallness of the numbers insured, the State | has been annually drained of some $500.000, which has been paid for premiums, for Life, | Fire, and Marine risks. This amount has been tranferred to, and iden. tified with other sections of the country ; and has gone to build up and strengthen the finan. ces of other States of the Union. The North Carolina Mutual Insurance Com. pany was chartered in 1843, and up to 1846, made no headway at all; and if its interests had been confided to any other bands, than those who fortunately directed its affairs, the scheme would have been abandone | in disgust, and the whole matter looked upon, as the * Baseless fabric of a vision,” “ Which leaves no wreck behind.” But a few tried friends, determined to “ wea. ther the storm,” and stick to the ship, while there was a plank of safety upon which to place ‘themselves. Foremost among these we may mention the names of the late Capt. Teeodore | Partridge, formerly from New York; Richard | Smith, the la W.R. Gales, and Dr. J. O. | Watson. Capt. Partridge was the first Secretary of the | company; and he acted avery prominent part in all the incipient measures necessary to its formation ; and his death, in the full meredian of life, was regarded as an irreparable loss to the company. The company continued to struggle on, and in 1847, and 1848, most vigorous efforts were made, to bring its claims for business fairly he. fore the people of this State: These efforts were not in vain, general light and intelligence on the subject, was spread broadcast over the whole State ; and in a very short time Stock | Companies were supplanted ;—the residences | of farmers were offered for insurance ; a gen- | eral spirit of inquiry on the subject was begin. ning to manifest itself, and the policies of the company were being issued on property em- | bracing an extent of territory, from the Albe. | marle Sound, to the last extremity of Cherokee county. The company then, began to be pop- ular, those who bad previously stood off, and doubtingly watched its progress, were now dis- posed to come a leetle nearer, and by and by even ventured to apply tor policies of insurance. Thus the company has gone on, and is now one of the most pr co tes in America. | It has a capital of nearly balf a million in bonds | properly secured ; and dves not charge for in. | surance, generally more than one-fifih as much as a Stock Company. It is a pride and orna. ment to the State; and deserves to be classed among the most prominent i: 8 itutions of the day. It is prompt in the pryment of all claims where the amount of the los#% sufficiently au- thenticated, and takes no exceptions to techni- cal informalities of any kind. It is emphati- cally a company for the masses ; al/ can insure BORN, May 18—A daughter to Wm. M. Barker, Town. “22 A son to Peter Warren, Town.

Look on this edjfice, of marble made— How fair its wadls !—too beautiful to fade. See, what fine peop!e in its portals crowd, Smiling and greeting, talkiug, laughing loud! What is it? Sarely nut a gay Exchange, Where Wit and Beauty social joys arrange? Not a grand shop, where late Parisian styles Attract rich buyers from a thousand miles? But, step within—no need of further search— Behold, admire, a fashionable church ! Look, how its orie! window glits and gleams } Wher tinted light magnificently streams On the proud pulpit, carved with quaint device, Whiere ve'vet cyshions, exquisitely nice, Pressed by the polished preacher’s dainty hands, Hold & huge volume, clasped with golden bands} No finger’s soil its satin leaves display — "Tis never used on any other day; @ It never suffers ‘ apestolic knocks ’— The sexton keeps it in a rose-wood box. Its perfect texts are read with mincing tongue— Lisped, drawled, and mumbled—spoken half- half ° sung ; While, all around,—the congregation close Their genteel eyes in elegant repose, A morai lesson, common place and calm, Succeed the thunder of a full choired psalm ; For what the sermon lacks, the singing lends—~ Great noise for dullness ever makes amends. “ Bat, then, the Tnusic’s splendid!” Grant it 80.

When, from her lips, the thrilling solo flows, Dandies and damsels cease awhile to doze ; And, when she quavers to her usual pause, A sometfiing hums, like ill-suppressed applause ; While the plump Ron placidly surveys His people’s buds, all turned to meet her gaze. He ne’er pebuges—not he—the careless crowd, And hardly would, were they to chat aloud— Bat reade&ffe service, quickly as he can— Mild, easy,’pleasant, soft, considerate inan! Fall fifteen minutes by the elock, he doles His drowsy @uctrines to somniferous souls, Who, welb contented, when the blessing’s o’er, Shall, to slow niusic, through the gorgeous door, And, in the street, heir smiles aud dress display, As if God’s Sabbath were 8 gala day, NEW GOODS!

March, 1850. of the State of North Carolina, hath exhibited his Bill | in this Court, in which it is alleged that one Jesse Ray, of the County of Ashe, in said State, in the year 1829, obtained as a bounty for erecting Iron Works in said County of Ashe, under the Act of 1788, a grant from the | State purporting to convey to the said Jesse Ray, 3000 | acres of Land described as lying on the waters of the | North Fork of New River, beginning ata hickory near | the lands of Joshua Baker, (formerly Joseph Johnsons) and running North 20 degrees, East 92 poles to a large rock, then North 80 poles, crossing the river toa poplar. | then West 24 poles to a chesnut on Mill Creek Ridge, | then North 65 poles toa cucumber, then North 45 de- | grees, West with Mill Creek Ridge 800 poles toa maple, | then North 20 degrees, East 500 poles toa chesnat, then | North eighty degrees, East 6 hundred poles to a lay rock, | then North 65 degrees, Rast 5 bundred poles co Horse Creek on three walnuts, then down the various mean- ders of Horse Creek to the North Fork of New River, | then up the meanders of the said River to a bunch of Hornbeams at the mouth of Buffaloe, then South 45 de- grees 386 poles to a stake, then to the first station. The Bill charges that Jesse Ray in combination with others, obtained this grant from the State by fraud and false suggestions. Among said charges it is alleged | that the land was not Jegally examined and allotted by |@ Jury: that there was no order of the County Court of ) Ashe authorizing a Jury to act, and that the paper pur- porting to be a report of a Jury in the case is a forgery: thar in order to obtain this grant, Jease Ray procured | the Records of the County Court of Ashe to be falsified, and by these and other fraudulent means charged in the | Bill, Jesse Ray procured this grant, by which he obtain- | ed from the State instead of 3000 acres of land anfit for cultivation, nearly 6000 Acres, very much of which is | land of excellent quality without paying money for the | same: and the said Attorney General prays for the rea- | sons set forth in his Bill, that said grant may be repeal- ed, rescinded, annulled and declared of none effect, and | it appearing that Jease Ray, the grantee, is dead, and that Jeremiah Ray, Caswell Ray, John Ray, Jr., Wil- liam Ray, Jane Ray, Jesse Parsons, Robert Parsons, Jobn Parsons, and Wilburn Ray, are part of his heirs at Law, and that they are not inhabitants of the State of N. ; Carolina. Now, they the said Jeremiah Ray, Caswell Ray, John Ray, Jr., William Ray, Jane Ray, Jesse Par- sons, Robert Parsons, John Parsons and Wilburn Ray, fre hereby notified and required to be and appear before their Honors, the Judges of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, at the next Court to be held at Morganton,on the first Monday in August next, (1850) and then and there plead, answer or demur to said Bill of Complaint, or the same will be taken pro confesso, and heard ex- | parte as to them. | Witness, James R.

They lie wilfully.

As tothe Aurora’s being now a “ neutral af- fair,” we do not pretend to believe. It is just | as good a democratic paper, as the most un. | compromise of that party could desire. It does not deny coming out as an “ independent ;” and in its first number, it acknowledges allegi- ance to no party. ‘It says,” it must be under- stood that the Aurora is not the organ of any man or party.” In the same article, however, the editor declared himself ‘a democrat, a State’s Rights democrat.”—But so mild and complacent a partizan was he at first, that un. — leas our memory has cheated us beyond what is common, the Aurora was received with consid- erable kindness by a portion of the Whig press of the State; and thus grew up in our mind the idea of its comihg out as a neutral paper. It occurs to us, too, that there was something in the ** Aurora’s’”’ prospectus which was cal- culated to suggest the thought of its being a, neutral, so far as it concerned the Whig and Democratic parties. But as we have not that At all events, whether the editor’s course in the commencement and subsequent conduct of the | Aurora was fairly calculated to leave that im. | pression upon the mind or not, we very honestly | received it; and if, in speaking of il as coming | out as a sort of ‘neutral affair” we misrepre- sented it. respect for truth, would require a cor- | rection of the statement. One thing is cer- tain’ The Aurora set itself up as an “inde- dependent’—as “the organ of no man or par. ty,” and that position usually carries with it, to some.extent, the idea of neutrality. Wheth. er these circumstances justify the terms of our We | certainly intended no misrepresentation of its It is bad enough as it is, without be. remarks, we leave for others to decide. position, ing made worse. And whatever it is, it was not in our opinion, the result of the promptings of a mighty gen. | (us, which scorned identification with any par- ticular party, or sought to astound the world by its own peculiar greatness and superiority.

We think the course pursued by this no party, or * independent” journal, has not even , left the shadow of a shade of doubt on the minds | of the observant, that it is, of the rankest or- der of Locefoco papers. ‘ There is policy in | war.” A paper coming out and professing to | attach to no party, would commend itself to many, on whom, after gaining their confidence, | “=-~oht operate to advantage of the one, and the disadvantage of the other, of the two great * parties of the country, as it might choose.— Whether this was the plan of the Aurora, all | men are as well able to determine as we are. !} - Tf it was, it is known only by the editor and those with whom he may have advised, aud will, by them, be guarded. Others can only judge by circumstances, which will gradually develope themselves. But we made a promise in the outset which | we now propose (o comply with. ‘The Aurora, | speaking of the breeze between this paper and | the ‘“* Hornets’ Nest” says: ‘* We know none of the parties to this dispute, and should have | . stood off, if the submisstonisis who rejoice in | the copartning title of Bruner & James, and . Cousin Sally Dilliard, bad let us alone.” Bince the “dispute” between the “ Nest” | and this paper commenced, tbat journal has | several times made the insinuation that Bruner & James do not write the edzfortals of the | Watchman, although they print themselves as its editor, ‘The “ Nest,” will not deny this ; | and it may be the frequency with which the in. | sinuation has been made, and our bitherto si- | lence on the subject, has probably been the cause of the Aurora’s joining inthe ery. And we should not have noticed the thing now, but | for the reason that the Aurora has made such | a@ plain allusion to H. C.

It is very unjust to bim, therefore, to lug in bis name, or by allusions to bring him in as a par- ty in matters of such a character as that be- tween .the goose ‘ Nest,” the ‘ Aurora” and ourselves. We doubt whether this little dispute has ever attracted the attention of that gentle. man io his country retreat, much less interest- ed him. But if you want to stir up this old editor of the Watchman, let some disunzonist, anti-internal improvement, anti.common school stager,—some assailer of the people’s rights, some selfish demagogue,—make his appear- ance within our bounds to preach his doctrines; and our word for it, the author of Cousin Sally Dilliard, will show himself in a manner that will be worthy of the occasion. We tell the | Aurora, therefore, that it is wrong in its intima- tion that Mr. Jones is conneeted in any man- ner with the Watchman; and if it has no re. spect either for that gentleman or ourselves, yet respect for himself and for truth and justice re- quires that that gentlernan’s reputation should not be involved where he has not by any act | of bis involved it. In conelusicn, we would inquire of the Aus rora, and of its ‘ friend” the Nest, what evi- dence have you to sustain the insinuation that the proprietors of this paper, do not write the We know you have none—not a particle. The editors of the Watchman in speaking of the Aurora as coming out as a neutral af. fair are charged by that paper with a “ wilful lie.” The circumstances of its coming out, and our words on the subject are before the public. We fear not its decision. ‘Fhe ‘‘Nest” in commenting on our remarks concerning Mr. | Cliogman as having apparently thrown him. | self into the arms of the Locofocos, spoke of them as “a bit of merchandise which had been lie ing on their table,” &c. << Now gentlemen, you are mutual “ friends” — \'may they not beget doubts in many minds you have each been playing into other’s hands ‘for some time—praising each other—puffing /each other—copying each other’s wit, and ' singing each other’s songs.

Together you have been for a Nashville Convention,—together in abuse of |Mr. Stanly—together in misrepresenting the Whigs on the subject of Southern rights—to- | gether playing into the hands of the Locofucos —together in literary productions of rare merit —together in an insinuation against us where you have not a particle of truth or evidence to Until you relieve your own posi- tions, it tittle becomes you to give the lie so flatly. It is not so bad to be called a liar as it is to be proven one. | NO SIGN. The subjoined Jetter reached this place last week, while pur Superior Court was in ses- sion ; and many of our knowing folk had the satisfaction of first seeing it here. There was a very considerable disposition on the part of some of them to laugh over it: and some few others actually did sorter roar. The thing, they said, was such acuriosity in its way, and they could not help it, if their sides were to split. Some said the authors had been expect- ing a sign trom Heaven, but no sign having been given, therefore, they eould not go to ted the extent of the excitement in North Car- olina, as weli as the importance of those causes out of which they supposed excitement would arise ; and were therefore returning to sober good sense. Others again, said, that they were beginning to be convinced that the Nashville Conveation, could not, at this time, do any good, and might do mischief. Others thought that they had discovered (yive Toole credit for this) their mischievious schemes were doomed to fail, and that they are now only trying to hide. Others, again, that their “ bomb,” was about to explode in their own ranks, and they were Others said there were no bombs in Sampson’s day, _and wondered, any how, what Sampson and bombs had to do with the Nasbville Conven- tion. Others again, thought that the authors, not receiving the sign, either from Heaven above, nor from the people below, concluded they were without authority to act, and, in fact, if the truth was known, the people did not wish them to go to Nashville. These, and many more thoughts, were expressed, or conceived, or hinted at afier reading the following— Joint Letter of Messrs. Strange and McRee. We publish below, a joint letter from these gentlemen recently appointed on the part of the Whigs and Democrats this District, to represent them in the Nash- ville convention. It will be seen that both regard it as inexpedent under present cir- cumstances to take their seats in that body '—and recommend that should it meet in June next, as originally proposed, the members present adjourn over.

We believe we are all instruments in -his hands to accomplish his purposes ; and we knew by the past that those purposes for the fu- ‘ture will be just and merciful. Yet we are at this time greatly perplexed, and must confess that we see not those plain indications of what providence designs for us, to enable us to decide with eonfi- dence whether or not it is our duty to go to Nashville at the time proposed. At the New Hanover meeting held in Janu- ary, one of us felt no hesitation in saying, that by the first Monday in June, it would be plainly seen that Southern Rights from our Northern brethren ; or that ‘we must prepare to maintain them by disso- lution and war. I was mistaken. The mysterious veil of the future still hangs over those events which must decide the question, and no one can Safely conjecture in what form they will berevealed. Un- der. those circumstances what-can a Con- vention do? Nothing, nothing at least but mischief. Even resolutions adopted by it cannot possibly be of service, and would probably do harm. Should those resolutions be expressive of a united pur- pose at the South, to stand by their rights at every hazard, will they not justly be consdered thus uttered pending a nego- tiation, as indecent threatening or idle blustering. And if conciliatory and mild, at least whether the hearts of Southern heroes are not failing them, as they con- template in fancy, the great Potomac sen- ding her waves to the ocean, swollen and red with the blood of men poured out from kindred bosom. Besides this, a Nashville convention is a strong measure, full of consequences, when over, it will be like an exploded bomb, no longer feared, not even respected : or will have left behind it sad and abiding evidences of its tremen- dous power. We should reserve it for a time of need, when like Sampson, wrong- ed by his enemies past all endurance, he might wisely seek their destruction, even though it cost him his life. Sir, we are persuaded that these are the feelings of a large proportion of the people of our State nay, even of our own District, which has been more forward than any other part of the State inthis matter. We should now misrepresent them by participating in any action of a Nashville convention at this time It isthe duty of every representa- tive to reflect, as far as possible, the will of his constituents. If we believed that | ours desired our attendance, we would go regardless of our own opinions, or our per- sonal convenience. But,ifthe vote ofthe District could now be taken upon the question, a very large majority we think, would even forbid us to go. We shall therefore not take our seats in the con- vention at Nashville, unless some change takes place in the aspect of public affairs June. We are much obliged to you for an article in the Aurora of Wednesday last, headed “The Nashville Convention again.” Other reasons are suggested therein why the convention should not meet at this time, which you have there- by saved us the necessity of offering here. We hope that those who do meet at Nash- ville at the time appointed, will adjourn, without any other action, to a more suit- | able time at the same or-some other place | when and where the whole South, with undivided heart, may lift up a shout of joy for our glorious Union preserved, or rally with sad but determined parpose a- round the no less glorious standard of “ Liberty and the Rights of the South. ” | We are with great respect, your friends and fellow citizens, ROBERT STRANGE.

The Democratic editors, of late, are very diligently employed in abusing Mr. Stanly, as if the very existence of their party depended upon putting him. down. The pretence for much of this abuse is ex- tracted from a corrupt version of .a speech whieh Mr. Stanly lately delivered in the House of Representatives in reply to Mr, Clingman, which has been published in most of the Democratic papers, the true speech, as published by Mr. Stanly, and which will be found im our paper of the 3d | and 10th of April, they very carefully witbhald from their readers. In noticing | the part which the Standard takes in this | matter, the Raleigh Times of Friday says: | New since the speech has been read at | bome and when no “treason” can be | found in it,—the Standard, quoting one of | his “ allies,” declares that it is not the same speech which was delivered. but one written out afterwards. The tnsinuation here is that something has been omitted | though Mr. Clingman said just the contra- ry! Why these contradictions? Mr. Stanly has been charged with™ treason ;” with being “unsound on the slavery ques- tion ;” with being “ opposed to the South, sympathising with the North ”—but the speech shows none of this—and then one party charges him with printing more than he had spoken! and the other \ ith leaving something out!!! Those ed.iors here, who take this Jatter view, not hav- ing been present when the speech was de- livered, ought to be able to bring some proof. Let them specify, if they dare, the sentiment or word that wasomitted. But indeed, Jet them point out the passages | they condemn. It won’t do to charge that he said unknown things, and then omitted them from the printed speech! Mr. Cling- man stands in the way of that—he is wounded, he says, quite a different way ! It was printing more than was spoken, that hurthim. We challenge these mour- ners to specify what they say was omitted. We know Mr. Stanly well enough to be- lieve, that if, by accident, he omitted any- thing he said against locofocoism. if he can find it out, he will print it, and stand to it! Can any one ask for more 7? We are convinced, that, with the fault- finding spirit in which Mr. Clingman took up this Speech, had Mr. Stanly suppress- ed anything he would have said so! Let him, or Mr. Venable, or any other of the Southern Democracy, allies or brethren of the Standard, who heard. the speech delivered, testify for their friend what has | been omitted. Why can they not if the speech of Mr. Stanly is so full of “treason” expose him on the floor of the House 1— Let them try it! cannot the Standard in- duce them to make the attempt? Indeed why have they not done so long ago? If to call a man a “ traitor” would prove him so, the standard would be all right. Edward Stanly is a terror to “party”—and the hatred of locofocoism is his natural right ! Important from Porto Rico—Threatened Bom. bardment. We have already mentioned that Capt. Beach. | er and severa] American sailors, had been im. | prisoned at Mayaguez, by the Spanish author. | ities, and that the United States Sloop-of war | Albany, Capt. Randolph, had gone there to de. | mand their release. On the arrival of the Al. bany, the Captain of the Port made his boast that if the Captain of the Yankee man of. war wanted his countrymen, he must came ashore | and take them. The next day Captain Randolph hauled in| his ship close to the town, shotted his gus, and | sent Lieut. Ridgely ashore with a notification | that if the men were’not instantly delivered up | he would fire upon the town. ‘This caused a | great commotion, and the Mep were released somewhat ina hurry. Capt Randolph deserves | all praise for his prompt ahd proper conduct in this affair, and it will have the effect of putting a stop to the outrages which have, for some time, been practised at Mayaguez upon Amer- ican commerce and right.—Balt.

Superior Court, Spring term, Craven Conn- ty, was in session in New Berne, during the past week, his hdnor Judge Baily presiding.— The case of the most. importance was the trial of Mrs, Aliph Riggs for tie murder of | negro boy Lewis, whom she found in ber yard afier dark. “We took some notes of the evi- dence, but, cannot give it at present. The de- fence set up the plea of insanity. His honor charged, that if the jury was satisfied that the Prisoner was insane, that ended the case; if not satisfied, it was a case of manslaughter.— The jury retired about 6 o’clock, and rendered a verdict of not guilty, on the ground of insani- ty.—Newberne Republican.

And we are glad to have a large credit to enter for the old county this week, A meeting was held io the court house, on ‘Tuesday Jast, at which the sit- dation of the subscriptions was explained, and the proportion of the unsubscribed balance ex- pected from Guilford stated, by fhose indefati- gable advorates of the’ great improvement, Messrs. Morehead. Gilmer and Caldwell.— ‘The assemblage did more than was expected ; $5,300 was at once subscribed; and next morning $200 more ;—making five thousand five hundred dollars of new subscriptions this week, and five per cent, all paid in. This was principally from fresh men, who have hith- ‘erto not subscribed any thing, and shows that the work is steadily growing in public favor. Shortly afiler Gov, Morehead’s last publication the 5 per cent. was paid upon 10 additional shares ($1.000) by a gentleman of this county, who had been absent several months. Added 'to the above subscription, we therefore count, | $6,500 for Guilford since Gov. M’s last re- port. 0A meeting of the stockholders of the Richmond and Danville Railroad took place at Charlotte Court-house Va. yester- day. We have no hope that the Richmond and Danville Road will be located near Milton, and to talk plain, we dont care if it shall be located 50 miles distant. We now contemplate a branch Rail- road with the Central route in this State, te tap it somewhere in Orange or. Ala- mance. Todo this we shall have only some 24 or 28 miles of Road to build. If we can get this Branch we promise the State and Wilmington in particular, to pour the rich products of the valley of the Dan into Wilmington market ; and,as she has the cheapest Grocery market in the United States(Judge Saunders is our au- thority—he says that groceries can be bought cheaper in her market than in any other market inthe Union.) So from this day out, consider us the advocate of a railroad from Milton to some point of the Central Railroad. Give us the charter quick, we want to go to work on it.—Mil- ton Chronicle.

But say some of the | democrats all these results would neces- sarily have followed the abolition of the | property qualification for voters in the Senate. This might have-been‘the case had the Democrats been sincere in advo- cating thischange. But when the Whigs of the last Legistature attempted to make this alteration in the Constitution, the Lo- cofocos opposed the amendment. The journals will show the fact. How much | dependence can be put in their professions | this clearly shows. Will any voter for the | future, be caught by such a snare ? Senatorial Candidate.—It will be seen by reference to the proceedings of a meet- ing of the Whigs of Davie. in another co- lumn, that they have responded to the proposition of Rowan, on the subject of a Senatorial Candidate. It is proper to state that the conference proposed to be held at Hall's mills, is more a matter of form, than any thing else,and might well have been dispensed with. so far as its real util- ity is concerned. There is no opposition to our former able Senator, John A. Lil- lington, Esq., and it is known to be the ardent wish of the freemen of both Coun- ties that he be a candicate for re-election. Under these circumstances, there can be doubt as to the result of the conference proposed. THE COMPROMISE. The subjoined article from the Rich- mond Times, meets our hearty approval, and we trust that the intimation which seem to be given out, by a few that the President is averse to the Senate’s Com- promise is untrue. We do not believe it. But should it prove true, and this oppor: | tunity to settle this vexed and disagreea- ble question, be lost, the administra- tion will be doomed to go down. We cannot satisfy ourselves that Gen. Taylor or any good Whig, will for a moment throw the least obstacle in the way of the proposition before the Senate. Here. it meets with a cordial reception, with the exception of a few extreme Nashville Convention disunionists. The state of affairs at Washington fills us with concern. Those who are authorized to speak for the Administraion in Congres, or through the press, fail to take ground openly for the Compromise plan of the Senate. The in. fatuated policy seems to be adhered to of press- ing the President’s plan, as a counter-project to that of the Committee of Thirteen. Noth. ing, at least, is intimated, with any show of au- thority, that can serve to uphold conservative Northern Whigs in supporting a scheme ac- ceptable to moderate men of the South, in pre- ference to one which they are allowed to be. | live that a Southern Administration is disposed | to insist upon. Here, we are constrained to | confess with mortification, lies, a great part, the real danger of the present crisis. We do not yet surrender the belief that the President is right at heart on this sectional question, and that he will perceive the hollow deceitfulness | of those who are now artfully making use of bis recommendations to defeat a great measure of conciliation and harmony. Until that be. lief shall be confirmed, however, it is our duty to give a candid warning that no Admin. istration can be sustained in the South which stakes itself on such an issue as fe proposed | to be made between the Presidewt’s plan and the plan of the Commitiee of Thirteen. There will doubtless, in a short time, be manifested of popular sentiment on the subject of the Sen. ate’s Compromise, and we venture to say that in no constituency in Virginia, or any other Southern State, willten intelligent men, Whigs or Demcrats, avow their willingness that the Senate’s Compromise should be suspended by the President’s policy, which, in its practical operation, is nothing more nor less than the ad- mission of California, and continued agitation as tothe Territories. In this city, which gave a larger majority for Gen. Taylor than it ever gave for any other candidate for the Presiden. cy, we have not met the individual who does not regard the proposition to use Gen, Taylor’s recommendation to the prejudice of the Sen. ate’s Compromise, as degerving the sternest condemnation. " The Administration, it is needless to deny, staods upon the edge of a precipice. By tak- ing counsel from Henry Clay, and abandoning an ontetiable position for one which the whule country, except the ultra men of both sections, will sustain, it might readily gain a foothold in the popular affections, which no opposition could shake. Otherwise, it must inevitably sacri- fice the support of its Southern friends, and, in the North, give a terrible impetus to the pro- gress of Free Soil fanaticism. We speak plain. ly, but we speak truths which ought to be known. No party considerations shall prevent us from uttering them.

Fyom the Petersbarg Intelligencer. PUBLIC OPINION ON THE COMPRO. MISE. We find, in the last Richmond Whig, the fol- lowing suggestion. Pe Messrs. Editors :—I observe that a meeting express their opposition to the Compromise re- solutions. Now, as [ believe that nine-tenths of the-peopte of Virginia are in favor of the a- doption of these resolutions, with as little delay as the slow movement of Congress will permit,1 would suggest that early meetings of the people in this State should be called to express their opinions, aud let the citizens of Richmond set the example withoutdelay. Such a movement will probably be tollowed in other States, and produce a salutary effect on our Senators and Representatives in Congress. I have conversed with no citizen of either party, who does not approve of this suggestion. A FRIEND TO“FHE UNFON. From what we have been able to gather of public opinion in Petersburg, there is a very decided majority of the people of the City in fa- vor of the Compromise reported by the Commit- tee of Thirteen. Indeed, we can with truth af. firm, that we bave not, up to the present mo- ment, heard a single citizen of Petersburg— atid we have conversed with many—who is opposed to the Compromise ; but on the other hand, all are in favor of.it, as the very best measure which, in this exigency, can be adopt- ed. They know that the doctrine of non. inter. vention by Congress on the subject of Slavery, further than carrying out the constitutional pro. visions in regard to fugitives from labor, is the doctrine of the South, and 4s fully sustained by the Compromise. ‘They know too that unless the South accepts the Compromise plan, it must incur the hazard of having the President’s pian forced upon it—thus having the Territori- al questions open for further bad blood and ex. citement, and the surrender of fugitive slaves to depend, as it now does, on the will and pleas- ure of the non-slaveholding States, without any reference to the provisions of the Constitution. These considerations have produced the ve- ry unprecedented unanimity which now exists in this community in favor of the Compraemise. And this feeling is not confined to Petersburg. The country adjacent to this City is, we learn, thoroughly imbued with similar sentiments, and in proof of it, we refera to call for a meeting in Brunswick, which will be found in another col. umn. This notice was brought to-us since we commenced this article, and we know that it is the offspring of Democrats as well as Whigs. This meeting will be composed of Whigs and Democrats, and will express, we have no doubt, emphatically the opinion that the Compromise shall be carried through Congress, and this a- larming question be settled. In vain will the Examiner endeavor to lash his party into a re- jection of his olive branch; and in vain will the Enquirer award the expression of popular opinion before it breaks silence. The People will take matters in hand in spite of the former, and their opinion will be pronounced in unmis- takeable terms before the latter has had time to trim its sails. Our Senators and Representa. tives in Congress will. if we are not mistaken find that if they do defeat this Compromise, it will be the worst days work of their lives. and that they have gone counter to the wishes of af immense majority of the people of Virginia and that, too, on the most important question that has arisen since the foundation of the Govern. ment. Will not the citizens of Petersburg—men who, while they maintain their righte of the South, appreciate the value of the Union— come to the rescue of a measure which accom. Will they not, without dis- tinction of party, and in public meeting assem- bled, cast the weight of their opinion in favor of the Compromise? We throw out the sug. gestion for the consideration of our readers of both parties ; for it is a question on which both parties can unite in perfect concert—a ques- tion. in reference to which, parties can forget party, and remember only that they are citi- zens of acommon Union. In connection with this subject, we re-pub- lish the following letter from Waddy Thompson to Senator Foote. Ex-Secretary Walker en- tertains opinions warmly in favor of the Com- promise ; and thus it is shown that the very antipodes in politics are united in favor of this great measure. WasuineTon, May 14, 1850. My Dear Sir :—I have just received your note, asking my opinions upon the measures re- ported to the Senate by the committee of thir. teen ; and, in reply, | have no hesitation what. ever in expressing my approval of those meas- ures, with one or two modifications, as a basis, and, in my judgment, the only basis, upon which | the questions which now agitate the country can be settled. What the South desires is ei- ther a settlement, and final one, or an issue. | confess that I should prefer the latter to any adjustment thal is not complete, and which, to use an expression of Lord Joho Russell, will | not give * finally” to all these questions. The South cannot and will not permit a per- petual agitation to these dangerous topics ; and we can never be better prepared with ‘ minds and means” to meet such an issue than we are now. Iam one of those (and they are not a few in thé South) who have no great fears on | that issue, let its result be whatever it may.— But I desire an issue which will and ought to unite all our people.

What is that point? Why, the right of Congress to impose a legislative re, striction. Thie is conceded to us in the only way it can be, short of a constitutional amend, ment, by the refusal to exercise sucb a power, With the most perfect respect for those Soy, thern membess who entertain different opin. ions, E have not felt at liberty to withhold mine, Ehave little hope that these questions will eve be setiled amicably, if it is not done at the present session ; and [ am just as well satis, | fied that by the adoption of the measures pro. ix posed, pofitical abolitionism will receive jy | demth.blow.

With great respect and esteem, faithfully, your friend, ae d WADDY THOMPSON. Hon. H. S. Foors. In the Senate, afier the usual morning busi: ness, a discussion took place on the bill chang. ing the patentlaws. The compromise bill was then taken up, and the amendment of Mr. Da. vis, of Mise., was modified at the suggestion of Mr. Pratt, so as to prohibit the Territorial Le. gislature of Utab from passing any law to i troduce or exclude slavery ; and inserting im. mediately thereafier a proviso that nothing therein shall be construed as prohibiting the passage of any law to give security and protec. lion to property now there or which may bere: after be lawfully carried there.

Mr. Clay commenced a reply to the Senator from Louisiana, (Mr. Soule)—remarking that he understood that Senator to say that there was nothing alarming in Disunion. Mr. Soule sprang to his teet and poured forth a torrent of eloquence repudiating such gw Mt4 iment, declaring, come what might, he ‘wat not for Disunion.

The Chairman appointed M. Patton, M. Erwin and J. M. Ednev, who re- tired, and afier some time, brought in the follow- ing resolutions which were adopted. Waergas, in our opinion, nothing has so serjously retarded the prosperity, and hindered the advancement of our State, as the practice of making national politics the sole test in all State elections: And whereas, there are questions of State policy, which we regard as of more importance to us at this time, than any of the old isswes of National polities which have | heretofore divided the two great political par. | ties of this country. Therefore, Resolved, That in the selection of persons to fill offices in the State Governmen) we rather | cowteder their relation to matters of State poli- | cy than their connection with political parties, | aad we prefer those who are ‘right on State questions. | combent upon the State to extend the aid of the | public purse toa liberal and extensive system of Internal Improvements throughout the State and that these public benefits should not be confined to any one section exclusively. Resolved, That equal] Suffrage is the right of every white man in a Republican Government —tbat property qualifications for members off the Legislature are unnecessary—that Repre- sentation in both houses of the Legislature, should be founded on White population, and not on property exclusively, as it now is—that the distribution of the Common School Fund, as it is intended for the benefit of the poor white children of the State, should go upon the same principle, and that we heartily approve any and every effort that may be made to amend or re- | peal the Constitution and Jaws of the State, so | | thor. | and for grace to sustain her. Resolved, That we recognise it as a duty in- | MANSION HOTEL:——~-~~- The arrivals at this House from the 16 to the 30 inst. were two hundred and sev- enty.

Erwin, and daughter of Thomas and Martha Walton, in the 36th year of her age. The subject of this brief obituary, was a woman of many and peculiar excellencies. ~Modest and retiring in her nature and unobtrusive in her manners, it re- quired an intimate acquaintance duly to estimate her |. In all the relations of life she met her datiesin |‘ worth. a manner characterized by prudence, devotion and ten- derness ; so that she was a blessing to her husband, ; children 4nd servants, and an example to her friends.— Her aged parents are called to weep over the loss of one of the most dutiful of children, her afflicted hus-. band over a most affectionete and devoted. wife, her children to deplore the loss of the best of mothers, the community one of its most valued members, and the church one of its loveliest and brightest ornaments. In early life Mrs. Erwin consecrated herself to Christ, and connected herself with the Presbyterian Church, of which she was one of the most constant and ex- emplary members until her death. Her piety was deep, uniform, and characterized by consciousness. Her ten- derness caused her to shrink from any thing having the appearance of evil; and she was especially kind and charitable to the poor, who always found in her a friend to sympathise in their distress, and relieve their neces- sities. The disease which brought her down to the grave waa protracted, and attended with much and severe suf- fering. Shé seemedto be cafled‘on by her Saviour, not only to glorify Him,by doing His will, but especially to do so by a conformity to Him in Hie suffering. Daring her Jong and painful illness, she manifested in a high degree, the unostentatious, but diffieult graces of pa- tience, meekness and resignation. Rarely have these traits of Christian character been more strikingly illustrated. When racked with pain, whieh would force from her an expression of anguish, fearing lest she might be guilty of impatience or mur- muring, she would ejaculate a prayer for forgiveness, Throughout her illness, while favored with the full ion of her reason, she had a comfortable view of her interest in Christ, and, although her experience wae not characterized by ec- stacy, or high joy, yet her hope was firm, tranquilizing ptaining ; so that she was, enabled to say ealmly, ath and the solemnities of eternity fully in view “Phy will be done.” _ ‘«« And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors: and their works do follow them.”— (Communicate. ] Died in Mecklenburg, very suddenly, on the 19th inst. on his way home from Charleston, Major THE- OPHILUS FALLS, by an attack of Paralysis, in the 59th year of his age. In recording the death of Mr. Falls we may be indulged in a few words. He was one of the oldest citizens of Statesville, where he has spent most of his life, since he started into busi- ness. Asa merchant he sustained a high character for integrity, and was very successful in acquiring property and the confidence of an extensive community. He has left a large circle of friends and acquaintences to mourn his loss; and a vacancy in many respects not easily filled. He had the reputation of being benevo- lent to the poor ; and he also bequeathed a considerable amount to the Poor-House of the County. Mr. Falls did not seek the honors or emoluments of office, but pursued the even quiet tenor of his way in attending to as effectually to carry out these views. | Resolved, ‘That eleven delegates be appoint- ed by the Chairman of this meeting, to repre. | sent the county of Buncombe in the Whig Con- | vention to be held in Raleigh on the 10th of | June next. Resolved, That the Delegates so appointed | be requested to consider the views and sen- | Uments expressed in the foregoing resolutions | as iastructions to them by which they are to be | guided as far as practicable, in selecting a suit. | able person to be run as Governor. | Resolved, That the Delegates appointed by | the Chairman of this meeting, exercise their | own judgement and discretion in selecting the | most available candidate for Governor.

This express occasioned us to rise to stop them in their present undertaking. Being commanded hy Col. Neel, and under Capt. Clinton, we started, and marched to Wil- liam Hall’s, and encamped after a day's march of abaut 14 miles. Tuesday, the 9th day of July, 1776, we marched over Broad River, about two miles, and meeting a party of our men, it gave us fresh fortitude in the pursuing of our heathef ene. mies. We encamped here afiera day’s march of about 18 miles. Wednesday, the 10th, we started, and march- ed 25 miles to one Moor’s. We continued our march next day 15 miles to one Mr. Watford’s fort, on Lawson’s fork, bearing that the Indi- ans had persisted as far as Princess fort, on Tiga, and killing and plundering all before them, hurried us on in our march to the aforesaig fort, where we arrived Friday the 12th ingmant. We found no enemy there. We stayed there ~o days: Then hearing our enemies were har. | boured and encouraged at the house of one Per. res’s, we started and marched within two miles, | being joined with, or assisted by Col. Thomas’s regiment, in all about 300 men. We encamp. ed on a hill all night, in order to attack the | | house and inhabitants therein in the morning. | When daylight came, we surrounded the house, but, contrary to our expectations, we found no Indians there, for they had left that place, and | had embodied themselves together and march. ed to another fort called Lindly’s fort, being assisted by or with a number of whitemen, in order to destroy the same ; but by the conduct and valour of the inbabitants of the fort, the designs of the heathen enemy were frustrated, being forced to retreat after a smart firing from both sides. After a retreat of these heathens the battle ended with little or noeslaughter on either side, save some few wounded. We will next return to Perris’s, and let you know that we took his wife and daughters, and, in shurt, all bis family, as likewise some tories that har. | boured there; so taking all prisoners, and | committing his houses to the flames, we took his effects, as free plunder, driving cows, steers | and horses, and brought all to our camp at | Princes’s fort, distant 25 miles. When wear. | rived, we saw a man that had gone that night | Chittito o, where we started some more of our | miles. to a mill, about 6 miles off, with a waggon for feeders. and killed one Squa, and captivated | marched a cross Soludy River, about 6 miles, , the President of the United States has directed provisions, who intended to return that night, so as .é was returning, within two miles of the | from the captives of an Indian camp up in | more; then took to the woods for anigh cut to 0 the coast of Cuba for a certain specific purg, / fort, and riding a horse cross the creek, not thinking of danger, on a sudden there was an Indian within two roods of him, and to his sur- prise fired at him, and shot him: through the thick of the thigh, and the horse scaring, threw him down. The Indian immediately made to him, but to save himself jumped into the creek ; then rushed forth another Indian with his gun ready to fire, which made the poor water.pri- soner expect nothing but death: But to be | short, he fired at him, and the bullet took him | below the shoulder and out by the left breast.— | By this last shot the puor helpless white man | fell back into the water. ‘The Indian seeing this, drew his tomahawk and made to hia, | thigking to have sunk it into his brains; but | ary to his expectations the wounded man snatch’d it out of bis hand, and made to the Indian, who retreated with the halloo of hoboy, hoboy.. When the white man saw this, he made his best way back to the mill, knowing that the Indians was between him and the fort, and got some men at the mill to conduct him back tothe fort. This was a remarkable de- Jiverance that one man could escape from four Indians, well armed, as says the beholder.— This aforesaid man is of the name of Reed, a man of ‘superior dignity, courage and Flexibil- ity, which appears by his valor during his es- cape from the Indians. I am neat ‘to inform you, that we began to vendue the aforesaid plunder bn the 16th, and continued fill the 18th instant, and, by a vulgar guess, amounted to 7733 pounds, South currency. Friday, the 2let day of July, 1776, our next orders was to make to our enemies: Se we started with a silent and secure march, being determined to rout and scatter them if possible. We continued our course to one Highit’s, and seeing there what slanghter was made by our heathen enemies, by killing and scalping all they met with; this sight seemed terrifying, to see our fellow creatures lying dead and massa. cred in such a manner. as hindered vs almost from interring or barying them, their effects be- ing destroyed, their houses lying in ashes ; ‘this, with afl othet of their actions oecasioned us to vow revenge, of dye in the attempt.—So, we continued in the pursuit of ‘revenge, and marched on to Pesris’s place; beholding with satisfaction the ruins of the same, we lay hear encamped till Thureday the 3d day of August) ——T hen, Friday, the 4th, we marched about 14 miles and encamped on a round: hitt——— Saturday the 5th, our orders were to form our- selves in a bollow square, with the waggons around us. Then ipere was @ party appointed to stay with the Waggons and baggage, as guards, whilst the rest of us marched to our en. emies towns. We continued our course to Streke, an Indian town, ealled Estatoe. When within aboul two miles of the same, we parted in divisions as: follows. Col. Thomas ordered his men tothe right flank to surround our ene- mies towns, and the light horse of both regi- ments to the lefi, aad us, to Col. Neel’s regi- ment, in the front or center. We marched ve- ry carefully till coming within sight of the town, then rushed in with al] speed pussible, but, con- 'rary to our expectation or desire, we got no Indians there, save one that escaped, with be. ing shot in his thigh. Afier this we set the houses on fire, and marched as quick as possi- ble to another town, called Qualhatchee ; and our enemies having left that also, we commit. ted it to the flames, and started with rather run- ning than marching to another town called Toxaway: And the inhabitants thereof being deserted, we stayed there but a short time, and lefi it on fire to warm themselves by at their re. turn. We well remember this also, that while we marched to the aforesaid town, a few of our men detained in this Qualhatchee fown, and gathering peaches, and roasting ears, being tired with traveling, they laid themselves down to rest, and the enemy, who always watches such opportunities, coming close to two of our aforesaid men, fired at them, and shot one of them through the thigh. This shet coming so unexpectedly, set the men in great surprize ; for no assistance being nigh, they expected no thing but death: But making the best speed they could up a neighbouring mountain, being lired with running, and the wounded man al- most ready to faint, they halted to rest them. selves; and casting their eyes towards the ground that they left, they espied about sixteen Indians there, looking as earnestly for blood as a hunter efier his game. After this discovery they started to our baggage guard, and got safe there: By this time We came up, wishing for such game, but finding none we made to our waggons, and arrived about sunset, being dis- tant about 9 miles. Sunday, the 6th of August, we started wag- gone and all, and marched to our aforesaid towns again, to help them off with some of their crops and vegetables, of which they were very. well stored, far beyond our conception. But to be short, we pers:sted in that undertak- ing as far as the furthermost of the aforesaid towns. After these performances, we were yet ordered to continue, and marched down Savana river to Shugartown, in order to meet General Williamson there, according to «his own appointment. When we arrived, we found the town destroyed, and them gone. We set owt after them down the aforesaid water to an. other town called Keewee, where we met with a party of the aforesaid General’s regiment, whilst the other party was a hunting for towns, camps, or any other place of harbouring for or of our enemies. Thursday, the 8th, we started in our turn, | scouting to the Cane Brakes that was confin’d by the aforesaid Savana river, and continued to Taxaway, where we routed a camp of Indians in the said town. In discovering us they all fled, save one sturdy fellow, who allowing him- self to fight some ; but being prevented of his design, was forced to surrender up his camp, and worse for him, his life also, with doing no other execution than wounding one of our men through the side of his belly. Then we had ‘o | leave two companies of our men with the wounded man, and the rest of vs continued hunting for more of such’ game, and came a | 23 miles. long the said Savana river to a town called a Squa and two Negroes, and got infurmation | the mountain, where was confined old Mrs. | Hite and her two daughters, whom they®took | prisoners, when they killed the reniainder of | the family. They likewise informed us, that | there were 300 warriors started to Keewee, and were determined to take that town and | waggons ; and likewise that there was a body of them yet guarding the camps. This in. | formation put us to a stand, whether it would be expedient to return, or advance to relieve the poor prisoners ; after a long coneultation, it was concluded by our good Col. Neel to pur- sue our enemies, which we willingly complyed to, and started with a small body of men; for Col ‘Thomas’s was ordered by bimto go back to camp. But to proceed, we marched over mountains very difficult to climb, but allowing | not te be conquered, we crossed them with some difficulty, and persisted as far as a moun. tain within 3 miles of the camp, being to our | view unclimbable we assended partly to the top of the same, and making our best speed up were halted by a shot of a gun, which came | from our enemies, who where screen’d by | blinds made with broken limbs of trees, and no gooner we stoped, but they fired about 14 guns, | killed one horse and wounded @nother. We | received no more damage, but spread round the | mountain to surround them ; but they cleared | themselves, night coming on. We had to en. | camp here all night upun this mountain : | So.ou Friday the 9th, we started about day | light; and marched down to their camp; But they were all fled, and had carryed Mrs. Hight | about 100 yards from their camp, and had kill. | ed her there, leaving her on her face, naked. After burying -her, we ransacked the camps, getting some plunder, they not having time to carry all off. So started back to Keewee to our camps, and lay there till an expréss ar. rived from General Williamson’s scouting -par- ty, which gave the following intelligence, to wit; Tbat on the 12th instant General. Wil- liamsop came to Towmossy, where he saw signs of Indians very fresh—Detached Capt. Perkins and Capt. Anderson with 60 mien to reconoiter or track the enemy; likewise Ma- jor Downs went out with 20 men, Capt. An- derson with 25 Men, parted from Capt.. Pir. hins, and crossed a Creek. Soon after Capt. Perkins and his 35 men ‘saw two Indians, and fired at them. ‘The Indjans instantly set up the war hoop, and ran. The party fullowed, and was quickly met by a party of the enemy, supposed to be hetween 2 and 300, who en. gaged them very furiously, when Major Downs, fortunately came up in the rear, and Atiderson falling on the back of the- enemy. To the right the firing was heard at the town, when Williamson turned out with 150 men, who coming close on the back of the enemy, made | them quickly give way. The furthermost of their party being almost surrounded, and were entirely cut off, 16 were found dead in the val- ley where the hattle ended. These our men scalped, but did not look any further, it being now near sunset, they were called off by beat of a drum. of the latter died next day, of whom was Capt. Neel and Capt. Lacy, a couple of brave officers and good men: Su close was the engagement, that a stout Indian engaged a sturdy young whiteman, who was a good bruiser, and expert at gouging, after breaking their guns on each other, they laid hold of other, when the crack- er bad his thumbs instantly in the fellows eyes, who rvared and cryed, canaly, enough in Eng- lish ; damn you, says the whiteman, you can never have enough while you are alive—He | then threw him down, set his foot upon his head, and scalped him alive ; then took up one of the broken guns and knocked out his brains. It would have been fun if he bad let the latter action alone, and sent him home without his nightcap to tell bis couatry-men how he had been treated. [ am next to inform you that our provision being out, we concluded to re- \urn for a fresh supply of the same, and ateered homewards with but one days allowance.— Marched eastward, crossed 6 mile creek—Nex! to 12 mile creek; from thence to 18 mile creek; from thence to Reedy River; the next waters was Lawsons Fork; so contin- ued to Pacolet; next to Tiga River; next marched to Broad River; so continued our course home, and the number of miles that we marched from Keewee was 173 miles, travel- ling the chief of the same on the one gays al. lowance ; yet for all that slavery and hardships it did not deter nor daunt us from trying i: a- gain: Foras soon as we got a eupply of provi- sions, we all assembled at our noble Captain’s again the day appointed, voluntarily, to go and destroy all opposing enemies, and te pursue the Indians as far as mountains and roads admit. ted of.—So, Friday, the 23d day of August, 1776, we started from Capt. Peter Clinton’s, on Ellison’s Creek, and continued our march to John Smith’s, meeting nothing material, being a day’s march of about 10 miles. Saturday, the 24th, we started from camp, and marched to Mr. Smith’s, at Broad River, distant about 19 miles. This night we receiv- ed an account that Major Robinson had made | his escape, being some time ago confined on account of his misbehaviour; afler thi® Agcount, Col. Neel ordered off Capt. Andrew Neel te the aforesaid Robinson’s habitation, where they found none but his wife, whom they mislisted not; but committed his effects to the flames. After this they returned to our camps. Sunday, the 25th, we started, to march by order, to Sinacha fort, where we were to meet General Williamson, our head commander ; which orders we obeyed, and marched to Mr. | Goudilock’s meeting, nothing material happen- ing, distant 20 miles: So we continued from thence to Wafurd’s fort, on Lawson’s fork, find. ing nothing worthy our relating, distant 21 miles. From thence we steered our course to Tiga River, and made the best of our way to Princess-fort, on the aforesaid waters. From thence toone Vernar’s, a days march of about So, Wedneday, the 28ih instant, we next steered our course to Hight’s old place, next to Perris’s | place, on Reedy River, a days march of 33 We steered from camp at Perris’s and and continued along the road about 6 miles oyrdesired Fort. In this manner we marched about 5 miles, crossed two small branches of 12 mile creek, our day’s march about 17 miles, and encamped hy a small branch, Friday, the 30th, In the morning, a little af- ter the waggoneers started tu hunt their horses, our camps were surprised by a negro of Capt. Ross’s, who had lately arrived ‘from hunting, who gave us the following relation, viz; That after hunting for his horses some time, he find. ing them by a thicket, distant from camp about 1 mile, and when mounting on one of them, there was a shot fired from the thickets, and he casting his eyes about, perceived a sturdy In- dian rushing out therefrom and making to him, who, when he perceived, trusting to bis borse for safety, set off with all speed possible, and kept bis distance pretty well for about 100 yards ; but, on a sudden, the horse fell dead, | occasioned by the aforesaid shot ; which, when | the Indian perceived, increased his pace, think- ing to have had a negro to wait on hims But contrary to his expectation, the boy being @™ip- ple, and unwilling to have an Indian for bis) | master, he cleared himself, and came to the | feat such an expedition. camps. Afier this account, we instantly start- (ed in the persuit of them, though all in vain, | of Cuba, intending to violate this law of the for we could pot~find them: So they cleared themselves, and took with them nine horses ; and shot at another horse-hunter, but he hap- | pily escaped, with having his horse shot in the rump. So close was the Indian to him, that the smoke and powder lashed against him, but he fortunately escaped. After these surprises, we started, aud marched a-cross the 96h road, so on that course about 2 miles, éncamped, af- ter a day’s march of about 16 miles. This night there came a man to our camp, who gave the fulluwing account of hif adven- tures, to wil. That he was at Senica Fort, with General Williamson, and being so neces- sitated, that he had to go home ; aud missing his road, happened on an Indian town, called Soquani, and alighted of bis horse to gather peaches.or such jike ; and being some disiance off his horse, casting his eyes round towards him, espyed indians coming (o him, when he made the hest.of his way (0 ourcamps.

Yul ‘ % y Mr. Yuleeinthe ~, A pe States “ to inform the Senate e any and what information has been received by the Ex. ecutive Department respecting an alleged mil- tary expedition against the Island of Cuba; and to communicate to the Senate copies of all cor. respondence and orders relative thereto.” To this resolution,’ Mr. Walker, on Tuesday, offered an amendment ‘requesting the’ Prest. DENT further “to inform the Senate by what authority be “epnt arm armed vessel or ves. sels to the Isttng of Cuba, with a view-to for. ebly suppress such revolution, if such be the act.” We do not understand, nor has it been s0 an- nounced, that the PresrpEentr has ordered any part of our naval force to Cuba for the sup- pression of an apprehended revolution in that Island. No such idea, it may pre. sumed, ever entered his mind. + having received satisfactory information, as heretofore announced, “ rendering it most probable ¢hat a military organization had been set on foot, with- in the United States, formidable both in num. bers and from the character of those engaged in it, for the purpose of attacking the Island of Cuba and revolutionizing the government,” the PresipEnT did immediately order a naval force lo proceed torthwith to that island, with a view to ascertain whether any military force organ- ized in the United States was proce - er for- such a purpose, with instructiogiy, if that were found to be true, “to prevent the anding of any such force or the carrying out of any such expedition or enterprise ; and with fur- ther instructions, in the event ofa landing hav. ing beer effected, to prevem the landing of re. ‘inforcements, or of any arms or provisions un- der the Americ&in flog, intended for such expe- ‘dition or enterprise.” In this proceeding the Fresident bas Wut faithfully obeyed the injunctions of the law.— The act of Congress of the 20th of April, 1818,- makes it a highly penal offence for any person * within the territory or jurisdiction of the U. States, to begin, set on foot, or provide or pre- pare the means for any military expedition or enterprise to be carried on from thence against the territory or dominions of any foreign prince: or State, or of any colony, or district, or people with whom the United States are at peace ;” and the eighth section of the same act author. izes the PREstDENT to employ the Jand or na- | val forces of the United States “ for the purpose | of preventing the carrying on of any such ex. |_pedition or enterprise from the territories or | Jurisdiction of the United States,” &ec. | ‘This section of the act of 1818, although al- | most identical with the seventh section of the i act of June 5th, 1794, differe with it in one ve- ry material point. In the latter, the Prest- | DENT was authorized to use the Jand and naval forces of the United Statee to prevent the car- | rying on of such expeditions * from the territo- ries of the United States.” But in the act of | 1818, the language employed is, “ from the ter- tories or jurisdiction of the United States”’— the terms “ territories” and * jurisdiction” be. /ing manifestly used in contradiction to each jother. Now, the “ jurisdiction” of the United | States, as everybody knows, is not limited to | our “térritories.” It extends to the high seas, wherever our flag is found. All that sail ung der that flag are within the jurisdiction of the United Sfates, though at sea and far distant from our shores. Consequently, an expedition against Cuga¥carried_on in American vessels, under the American flag, is carried on from “the jurisdiction” of the United States, (though such vessels may be found at sea.) and as such should be prevented by the PresipentT, whet is authorized by the act of 1818 to use suck | portion of the land or naval forces of the United | States as he may deem necessary for that pum | pose. Upon this point there can be no bigher | authority than Mr. Webster, from whose ‘marks on the subject in the Senate, on T = | day, we make the following extract : { “ But now let us come to the direct question. | What is it that is complained o{?

IJf there is any case, it ‘is a case of this kind.

And it is not material, if guch be the ‘fact, if it be fitted out or prepared in the’ Jan- /guage of the statute, in the United States, whether by the citizens of the United States or by others. The law prevents the thing being done in the United States. Now, I suppose that whatever action the President has taken on this sulyect, is founded upon information that this is a military expediliongiprepared and set on foot in the United States, in whole or in part.

However, I take it to be un- questionable law, settied ppon the surest basis of the national code. Ut that be so, the Presi- rdent-of the United@Biates is bound in duty, wherever be finds tlfe jurisdiction of the United | States extending on th¢ sea or on the land, if persuns are engaged in violation of the law of Congreas, by use of the naval and military power of the United States to prevent it, Such is the tanguage of the law, * by the military sind naval armament uf the United Siates. — Aud’Why is he to use the naval armament of the United States, unless there fs something that can be lawfully done with fl upon the sea?

With that country we have treaty stipulations of peace and friendsbip, which would be grossly violatedytot only by a connivance on the past of the Executive of the United States ai the getting up within our Ter- ritories of such an expedition as that which has recently departed with tho object of attacking Cuba, but Ly any omission on his part to do all that the law has put in his power to do for the | purpose of suppressing il, or preventing it from | heing caggied on. While the present Execu- tive cottinues in office, no foreign power will ever have cause tu reproach this Government with a breach of national faith. In reference to Cuba, it should be recollect. ed that our relations with Spain are of a some- what peculiar character. She has long been aware of the watchful vigilance observed by us in reference to the possible transfer of that isl. and to the possession of some other foreign power; that whilst we were perfectly content with its remaining in her possession, we could not look with indifference eitherupon an attempt by aftother nation to wrest it from her by farce | of arms and that should such attempt be made she might be assured of support. Under these circumstances, for the Govern. ment or people of the United States to counten- ance any expedition got up in this couatry, and by our own citizens, for the purpose of forcibly wresting the island from Spain,*in the hope of its ultimately falling into our hands, would be eommit an inexpressibly flagrant violation of the national faith.

Balt. Sun. Hawirax, May 27, 1850. The new Royal mail steamship Asia, Capt. Jenkins arrived at Halifax at 34 minutes past 2 o’clock this morning, with dates from Liver. pool to the 17th, making the passage to Hali- fax in eight days and a half. : The steamer Cambria had not arrived at Liverpool when the Asia sailed. The trade in the manufacturing districts has assumed a healthy tone. The money market continued easy. Cotton had advanced 3th of a cent. Enoianp.— Matters regarding foreign policy are daily assuming a more serious aspect. ‘The Greek affair is not yet settled, but in a fair way to lead to peace. The French and Russian Governments are greatly dissatisfied at the turn the affairs had taken. and the ministers from both posts had lefi England. ‘This gave rise to a variety of speculations. On ‘Thursday Lord Brougham called the at- tention of the House of Lords to the sudden de- parture of the French Ambassador, and hoped that no unfriendly feeling existed between France and England. The Marquis of Lansdown explained. He said the departure of the French Minister, which took place on the Queen’s birth day, was accidental, on account of the French Govern. ment desiring his presence in Paris. Lord Palmerston attempted to give explana- tions of the sudden disappearing of the French and Russian Ministers, but was not satisfacto- ry. He said the discussion between the Brit- ish and Greeks was so far settled, that no ap- prehension need be entertained of the com. merce being molested. The only matter re- maining was the investigation of the pacific claims regarding Portugal. He said also, that France would prefer that a settlement of the Greek difficulty had been effected through the French agency. Circumstances, however, mil- itated against this mode of adjustment, ‘This affair wears rather a serious aspect, and the French funds in consequence have experienced on our part, might induce Spain to transler the island to some other foreign power-—-an event we have always been, and still are, so anxious to prevent. It is to be hoped, therefore, that public opinion in this country will set its face against all enterprises and expeditions gotten up, or proposed to be gotien up, here fur the purpose of making war upon Cuba. THE QUASI ISSUE.

An ambidexter blow is given to the Central Rail Road; notvery severe though; just about fractory son. At the same time some good things are said about it; just enough to keep internal improvement men in good humor. The Editors give the “hit palpable” to the Raleigh & Gaston Rail Road. They are de» cidedly opposed to “throwing away mare mo- ney upon it.” "This is a very good Morgan” fer the unterrified, for by their abuse of it they may minister to the prejudices of some who are kicking against the party authority.

No matter what . fp the prospects may manifestly require it, will have no more new lines. reason or common sense in such a pledge.— We fear our geighbors would promise to run up the “ new lines” to # fifty four forty,” if they expected to get voles by it.— Wl.

Messrs. Epirors.—I have in much haste collected the following particulars of an engagement, at Cardenas, between the Patriots, and the Government soldiers.— These particulars were obtained from a young Doctor attached to the invading force, who has as much as he can do now in attending to the wounded. ACCOUNT OF THE EXPEDITION AGAINST CUBA. On the 2d May, 1850, the brig Susan Loud left the city of New Orleans, having on board 150 officers and men, under the command of Col. Wheat, and after cruis- ing in the Gulf for 7 days met the steam- er Creole, which had on board 175 men, under the command of Col. Bunch and Gen. Lopez and staff. The men on board the brig embarked on board the steamer, which steered for the Isle of Mugue, where we took in water. We remgined there two days and again got under way and proceeded toa small uninhabited island. some fifteen miles dis- tant, where we met Col. O'Hara, in barque Georgianna, with 250 men, who joined us. Having our full compliment, amounting to some six hundred men, ‘including offi- cers, we got under way and arrived at the port of Cardenas, (Cuba)on Sunday morn- ing, May the 19th, at about 1 A. M. and immediately landed our forces. At half- past 2 A. M. we took up the line of march for the Governor’s mansion. In front of the Placa, and, when but a short distance from the mansion, procured a guide and proceeded till within some sixty yards of the Governor’s mansion, when we were welcomed by a shower of bullets from all quarters, particularly from the tops of the houses, windows, piazzas, &c., which wounded Colonels O’Hara and Wheat and many men, none mortally. We then commenced to show them that we were on land and ready to reciprocate their politeness. At it we went, the inhabi- tants having allthe advantage. After an engagement of about one hour, the white flag was displayed from a window of the Governor’s mansion, which caused our fir- ing to cease. After waiting a suitable time to hear from them, they recommenc- ed firing, dangerously wounding Lieut. E. L. Jones, of Company K. Louisiana Reg- iment, and slightly wounding some |6 men. The Governor’s residence was then fired, which caused its inmates, consisting of Governor and staff, to surrender. He was, together with his staff and troops, in all 100, placed under guard in their bar- racks. We liberated about 150 prisoners whom we found in jail. All arms, amu- nition, horses, &c., were collected from the citizens for our use. quiet possession of the city until dusk of the evening. during which time, the entire force, except Gen. Lopez and staff, and a command of 25 men under Capt. Logan, of Kentucky Regiment, had returned on board of our steamer to rest, when to our surprise the command was attacked by 150 or 200 lancers and cavalry. all mount- ed. Capt. Logan defended his position until reinforced from the steamer. The engagement lasted about three quarters of an hour. Our toss in killed and woun- ded, amounted to 12, including Captain L., who was mortally wounded, and died on bpard the steamer. The enemy lost all except some twelve men. During the engagement, we kept retreating, (having understood that they were expecting a heavy reinforcement.) Got the steamer under way on Sunday evening, about 10 o’clock, having lost, in all 8 killed and wounded. At 12 M., on the morning of the 20th discovered a Spanish-man-of-war some 15 miles to the southward and east- ward, apparently in chase of us. We kept our steamer under heavy steam, pil- ing on barrels of rosin and coal, and at about 8 A. M. of 21st saw a steamer to windward. Procuring a pilot off the Florida reefs, we ran into Key West where we arrived at about 11 P. M. and landed, being chased up to that time. and Hungary, We learn from Vienna that the church ques- will be one of life and death, so exaspera- are the minds of men upon the subject. RUSSJA AND TURKEY. The Porte has signified to the Austrian and Russian Ministers, that they must consider all restraint on Hungarian refugees now al an end.

At 6} o'clock they were charged upon by 50 infantry, of the Leon regiment; 20 lancers, and 30 and odd citizens, mostly natives of Bis- cay, who had, under the guidance of Don Leon Fortun, Chief Commander at Guamacaro, car- ried to their assistance from a neighboring dis- trict. ‘The invaders were put to a shameful flight, and compelled to reembark in great huste, leaving on the field many dead, and carrying away wounded, the notorious Col. White and 40 of his partisans. The steamer that conveyed the pirates to Cardenas was the Creole, and their leader is Don Nareiso Lopez. In the burry of their de- parture they left on “Key Stone,” (Cayo Pied- ra) near the spot, F. Ceruti, a Captain and a Lieutenant, of the Leon Regiment, whom they had taken prisoners. Our attention has been particularly called to a most remarkable circumstance, which is, that the criminals confined in the Garrison, at Cardenas, who were put at liberty by the in- vaders, took up arms against them; thus giving unequivocal proof of their dislike at receiving their liberation from the bands of the pirates. The Governor of Mantanzas, who had start- ed with troops on Sunday, as soon as he learn- ed the landing of the invaders, arrived at Car- denas at 2 o’clock on Monday morning, and found already re-established the legal authority by the aforesaid Chief Commander of Guama- caro. “Thus have cowardly fled, af the presence of a handful of our soldiers, the wretches who at- tempted to destroy our pruperty and happiness ; but if they expect, by their shameful flight, to evade the punishment théir criminal intention so justly deserves, we think they are mis taken. Whilst we obtain more ample information about this invasion, the cily continues to exhib- it the most warlike appearance. ‘The anima. tion is,every moment on the increase, and the enthusiasm has no bounds. Muskets are seen everywhere, and the citizens are well armed, wailing to occupy their position. ‘The militia, has already occupied some of the military posts in and out of the city; and we have heard many noble actions of disinteréstedness on the part of the officers appointed to their command by the Supreme authority of the Island. CALIFORNIA INTELLIGENCE. summary of the prominent points of intelligence from San Francisco to April 19, brought by the Steamer Crescent City at New York from Chagres. We now subjuin various details of interest: Weremained in | The store of Loverings & Hoogs, at San Francisco, was robbed of $5,000 worth of jew- elry on the 13:h of April. A bill incorporating the city of San Francis. co, has passed the Legislature and been signed by Governor Burnett. The anniversary of the birthday of Henry Clay was celebrated at San Francisco with appropriate honors by a festival. lt will be seen by the shipping intelligence, that the schooner R. C. White, the ship Aqua‘ (uit, and schooner Maryland, have «arrived at San Francisco from Baltiincre, and that the schooner Flight of Baltimore, had been spoken in the Straits of Magellan, when 85 days out from Baltimore. Lt. Bache, U. S. N., Lt. Browning, U.S.N. Johu H. Peoples, W. W. Cheshire and John Purdy, are the names of those who were drowned by the upsetting of a boat four miles | below point George, on an expedition to Trini- dad Bay. Lieut. Bache is well known as the comman. der of the steamer Senator, in ber long and perilous voyage from New York to San Fran. cisco, and was universally esteemed as a skill- ful officer and a noble and worthy gentleman. The bereavement to his family and friends is rendered doubly severe by the previous recent loss of another gallant son and brother, the late Lt. Geo. M. Bache, of the Navy, who was not Jong ago lost at sea. ‘Their vessel was cast among the breakers, and the account giv. en by the survivors of their sufferings is most thrilling. Capt Conner, one of the survivors, after de- tailing how they were swept off by the waves, | from the wreck of their boat eight times, says: Jobn H. Peoples was washed ashore almost drowned and quite insensible ; two of the party held his bead above the water, but eventually had to let him go, in order to save themselves. There was still a hundred feet between them _and the shore, and there was a heavy sea run- ning over them, Lieut. Bache was so much exhausted that he was unable to stand alone, and called to me for help. Ttook hold of his arm and helped him to where the boat was aground, on a shallow part of the bar. to hold on, and asked permission to Jean on my shoulder. [told him yes, as long as I could keep my head above water. Immediate. ly after we were swept into the water by a wave, and Bache dragged me under the water with him. When we rose to the top of the water I remarked : Bache, we will drown to- gether ; and upon the instant, the dying soldier (rue to the purest principles of honor. relln. quished his hold, and sank beneath the wave, never to rise again. The boat then struck a rock, and was thence carried to the shore by the surf. Out of ten men that léft the Arabian, but five were saved. Election in San Francisco. | By a late copy of the Pacific News, we learn /that the result of the election held in San | Francisco, on Monday, April the 15th was as | follows :—Jack Hays, independent, elected | Sheriff, by a majority of 200 over Bryant, dem.

If the Republic is authorised to speak for the | President,.it is intended to be distinctly | understood that the President has not yet discovered that the plan of Compromise proposed by the Committee of Thirteen, is better for the settlement of this great question than the one be proposed. Well, we respect the President for his indepen- dence and boldness, just as we detest a miserable weathercock for his shifting. We sincerely trust, however, that the po- sition he has taken, will not materially af- fect a final and amicable settlement of the subject. Indeed we feel fully assur- ed that the President will not bring his power in opposition to the Compromise when brought before him with the sance- tion of Congress. The subjoined paragraph is from the Raleigh Register. We like it, because we think there is a good deal of truth in it. ‘The Loco Foco Press, of course, is endeav- oring to magnify the importance of what it is pleased to term this “rupture” between Mr. Clay and the President, and is busily at work to foment the imaginary dissension. These papers must have forgotten, as the “ Petersburg Intelligencer” aptly siggests, the difference be. tween their own and the Whig party. The Democracy have for twenty years been drilled to march and counter march, face about face, wheel and turn, Just as the President might or- der. He might propose to them the most ob- noxious measures, and, after a few wry faces and stomachic qualms, they would swallow the dose and swear it was vastly pleasant. Not only under this system must the President and his Cabinet be “a unil,” but the President and his Party must be a unit; and for one of the _ latter to stand out in opposition to a behest of | the former. would be an act of insubordination which would brand the offender as a heritic and a traitor. Loco Focoism need give itself no uneasiness in this particular. ‘There will be sufficient co-operation between the Whig | party and the Whig administration, and be. | tween Mr. Clay and the President, to enable the latter, so far as he may have the power, triumphantly to carry on the work of reform, and, by correcting the abuses aud corruption of the last Administration, to subserve the pur- poses for which the People elevated him to power.” uf \ y'/ Treatment of Slaves.—Last Sabbat presented a scene, which, could Northern abolitionists have been here to witness it, must have staggered their faith on the subject of the horrors of slavery !—Some weeks ago, a negro woman, the property of H. C. Jones, Esq., while engaged in cleaning up a piece of new ground, and burning the trash preparatory for the crop, | her clothes taking fire, was so badly burned that her recovery. from the first, | was despaired of. She however, lin some two weeks and died. The Rev] Ricaud was invited to preach a funeral discourse at the plantation on Sabbath afternoon last, and notice to that effect was given out. At the appointed hour the slaves of this Town were seen mov- ing out*not on foot, like beasts of bur- den, or like friendless, unrespected human wretches; but like genteel and able folk, in carriages, barouches, buggies, carry- alls, on horse back, &c. that there were some five hundred in at- tendance at the funeral. The masters and mistresses of these slaves, had loan their horses and vehicles for the occasion. This is only one instance out of many going to show the kindness and humanity with which this population is treated in our | midst. ment which Northern men manage to | | keep up on the subject of abolition, the man, in our midst, who should prove neg- lectful of the happiness of his slave, would very soon be made to feel the scorn of his better neighbors. Alabama Castor Oil.—Six barrels of | castor oil from the plantation of Robert Dickens, Perry county, were received on | Tuesday, says the Mobile Tribune, and | sold at $2 per gallon. The quality of this (oil is superior to any brought to this _market. E. K. Carlisle has already sold this season for Mr. Dickens some fifty barrels of castor oil, at prices ranging from $2 to $2 50 per gallon. The com- | plete success of Mr. Dickens in this new | branch of industry will probably induce ‘others to embark in it.— Ala. Journal. A New Post Office has been established |in Moore county, N.

We hope his invention will prove profitable to him. This improved saddle, which we have examined in Mr. Fisher’s shop in this city, is well described, with plates, in the last number of the Scientific American. Its chief advantages are, that it affords the easiest possible riding on horseback, and protects the back of the animal, by letting in acconstant current of air, from being over-heated or galled. It appears to us that it mast come into general use. EX-PRESIDENT TYLER. This distinguished gentleman, for some time past retired beyond the public notice, has been drawn out by Hon. H. S. Foote, in a long let- ter, on the subject of the plan of Compromise now under consideration in the Senate of the United States. We extract from his letter the following paragraph : | see, therefore, no insuperable objection to taking the bill as it is, with such amend- ments as may be shown to be necessary, unless Mr. Berrien’s objection to the two representa- tives be well founded. Whether it is or not, depends upon facts which are before you, and of which J am ignorant. In coming to your | decision upon this subject, there is much due to those noble and patriotic spirits from the non- slaveholding States who have come up to the rescue. Shall they be turned over to the ten- der mercies of the Free-Soilers? I would pur- sue no course, were | in Congress, which give to the leaders of Free-soilism a lease of life to endure beyond the present session.” (The Standard of last week learits, | says the Greensboro’ Patriot, from notices in the New York Express of the late an- niversary proceedings of certain anti sla- very associations in that city, that the Wesleyan Methodist Convention has an- ti-slavery Missions in Virginia and North Carolina—one of the reports stating that | three of their ministers “ are laboring with | great success” in these States, &c. The Standard is also informed that “one of these Missionaries has been at work dur- ing the past year, in Guilford, Stokes, and other counties in the upper part of the State,” and recommends, if the law will not reach him, that the people take him in hand, in open day, and compel him to leave the country.” it is a proper occasion to say, we un- derstand that bills of indictment were found against two of the Wesleyan con- nexion, at the late term of the Superior Court in Forsyth County, for circulating an incendiary publication, and that one or both have been arrested and bound over. Thas, the Jaw, we presume, will be found sufficient to preserve the rights and peace of all concerned, without the last resort suggested by the Standard, which scarce- selves last week. We published Mr. Douthitls ‘announcement notice in our last paper, but omiited to mention the fact that he has opposi- tion in the person of Marshall Clement, Esq. a democrat. The Whigs of Davie, appeared highly pleased with their candidate, and we pre- dict will go into the contest with fine spirils.

PROSPECTS OF THE COMPROMISE. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, May 22d, says: “ Mr. Downs, of Louisiana, to-day made a very excellent speech, which will doubtless have the effect of silencing the Southern opposition. He deprecated excitement in Congress, and said that the Union loving people of the South were perfectly calm and cool, notwithstanding all that had ta- ken place. I understand that a number of letters have been recently received by Southern Senators and Members from constituents, urging an immediate setile- ment upon some reasonable plan and de- precating agitation and ultraism in the strongest terms. “Mr. Downs’ speech was the most con- ciliating of the session. It is but a short time since he was one of the most uncom- promising. This sudden and material change fully corroborates what I have mentioned. The South have always been eminently loyal, with the exception of S. Carolina, and this may be taken as an ex- mands 54. Whiskey 21}. "THE CROPS. We believe it is certainly conceded on the prospect of the crops at this time are more unfavorable than they were even at this time last year. The cause of this is attributed to the almost unprecedented lateness of the Spring. We have heard of intelligent and observing planters re- mark, that the cotton plant is much more backward and less promising than it was last year which was planted after the frost. It seems to have had almost every difficulty to contend against—cold, heavy, washing rains, and slight frosts all the Spring ; and now we hear complaints of lice and grasshoppers which are said to be injuring it much, before it has scarcely had time to grow large enough to be thin- DISTRESING CASUALTY. In the afternoon of the 29th ult., James F. Frarey, son of the late David Fraley, came to an untimely death by drowning. He had gone, in company with his young- er brother, to Carter’s pond, on Dutch second Creek, for the purpose of fishing, and having occasion for bath- ing, he went into the pond, swam across and was wad- ing back again, the pond not being deep except in the channel of the creek, which at the place was not above six feet wide ; and coming unexpectedly to the channel he made a misstep and sank beneath the water, and either became strangled or was struck with a cramp from | the coldness of the water in the main current, so as to be disabled from helping himself. His brother, a lad of about sixteen years of age, seeing his danger, stripped | off his clothes and waded in to relieve him, and had hibition of her true sentiment. “The fate of the compromise it is total- ly impossible to conjecture.” “X.” the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, in his letter of the 24th inst., says: “Things look certainly better for the compromise, as the chances now are that the bill will pass both Houses without en- countering any serious obstacle. I donot believe that the bills will be separated.— Southern ultras may oppose it; but not to the extent of committing suicide. I thisk time he had touched him, when the water became too | deep to proceed any further. After rising to the sur- | face of the water some three or four times he sank to | the bottom, where he remained about two hours before | he was taken up. At one time when he came up, his | brother saw his body as far down as his waist, from | which it is supposed that he had got footing on the bank, | but slipped agains When he was taken out, life was | extinct beyond the power of resussitation by any hu- man effort. His lifeless temains were interred in the ‘cemetery of the Reformed Church known as Grace Church, where a funeral discourse was delivered by the | | Rev. Samuel Rothrock to a large circle of friends and | | acquaintances who mourn his Joss. It is but just to the memory of the deceased to state | that he was a young man who bid fair to become a use- , ful member of society, being exemplary in his life and | deportment. He was an affectionate and dutiful son ; "and to his bereaved and widowed mother his loss is se- verely felt, as if was to him, under God, that she looked clear out of the woods ‘and wool.

His pastor, from th views he entertained of the doctrines of salvation, and the impression they made upon his life, was encouraged to hope that the good seed of God’s word were beeom- ing pikcious seed unto life eternal. His intention of en- tering the Church, had he lived to the period é for that purpose, would doubtless have been ied “in- to effect. But Providence, whose ways are in the derk, has called him away, it is hoped, tu join the Charch tri- umphant with the privilege of being formally connected with the Church militant. Let not his afflicted friends, therefore, sorrow as those who have no hope, but as those who wait for the blessed resurrection of the saints to immortality and glory. (Com. Temperance Celebration.

Love’s breath from yonder starry worlds, Comes down in ether pure and bright— Love’s breath is in the winter’s storm, And in the summer breeze of night— Warm looks of love from natyre’s face Allure me to her beating heart— Lost on her pure and fond embrace, My breast forgets its aching smart, Love’s breath—it is God’s holy breath That unto thee, my heart, is given— Whose gentle impulse, sweet and pure, Doth sofily raise thee up to heaven !— There shall that earthly plant put forth Eternal flowers, that ne’er shall fall, Ah!

But age comes on with stealthy pace, And sober thought’s and all that ; Trouble will show ber frowning face, Sickness, and pain, and alj that, The feast, the bowl, will lose their powers, And revelry, and all that: Then shail we need, to cheer the hours, A wife and home, and ail that, Oh! ‘* when misfortune clouds the brow,” Disease and death, and al] that.

DIGGING FOR GOLD SALISBURY ! Some forty years ago, the managers of a race course, near Brownsville, on the Monongahela, published a no- tice of a race, one mile heats, on a particular day, fora purse of one hundred dollars, ‘‘ free for any thing with four legs and hair on.” A man in the neighborhood, had a bull that he was in the habit of riding to mill with his bag of corn, and he determined to enter him for the race. He said nothing about it to any one, but he rode him around the track a number of times on several moon-light nights, until the bull had the hang of the pretty weil, and would keep the right course.— fie tode with spurs, which the bull considered particu- | larly disagreeable ; a9 much so, that he always bellow- | ed when they were applied to his sides. On the morning of the race, Hays came upon the ground on horseback, on a bull. Instead of a saddle, he had a dried ox-hide, the head part of which, with the horns sti]l on, he had placed on the bull’s rump. He carried a short tin horn in his hand. Hays appealed to the terms of notice, insisting that his bull had ‘ four legs and hair on,” and that therefore he had a right toenterhim. After a good deal of “ cussin” and “ discusein,” the judges declared themselves com- peiled to decide that the bull had aright to run, and was entered accordingly. When the time for starting arrived, the bull and the horses took their places. The horse racers were out of humor at being bothered with the bull, and the burlesque | which they supposed was intended, but thought that would ai! be over as soon as the horses started. When the signal was given, they did start. Hays gave a blast with his horn, and sunk his spurs into the bull’s sides, and bounded off with a terrible bawl, at no trifling speed, the dried ox hide flapping up and down, and rattling at | every jump, making a coinbination of noises that had never been heard on a race courge before. The horses | all flew the track, every one seeming to be seized with | len determination to take the shortest cut to get | of the Redstone County, and not one of them could | be brought back in time to save their distance. ‘The purse was given to Hays under a great deal of hard | swearing on the part of the owners of the horses. A general row ensued, but the fun of the thing put the crowd all on the side of the bull. they were swindled out of the purse, and that if it had not been for Hays horn and the ox-hide, which he ought | not to have been permitted to bring on the ground, the thing would not have turned out as it did. Upon this, | Hays told them that his bull could beat any of their hors- ¢8 anyhow, and if they would put up a handred dollars agsingt the purse which he had won, he would take off | the ux hide and leave his tin horn, ang run a fair race with them. His offer was accepted, and the money staked. They again took their places at the starting post, and the signal was given. Jays gave the bull an- pther touch with his spur, and the bull gave another tre- mendous bellow. The horses remembered the horrible sound, and thought al] the rest was coming, as before. Away they went again in spite of all the exertions ef their riders while Hays galloped his bull around the track again, and wonthe money. From that time, they nick-named him Sham Hays. He afterwards moved to Ohio, but his nick-name stuck to him ag long aa he lived —N. ¥. Spirit of the Times. a Secret Liquor Societies.

Waereas, Bartholomew F.

Eee THE WATCHMAN TUESDAY JUNE 11, 1850. ROSS’ PAMPHLET. (concLuDED.) Sunday, the Lst day of September, there was a company of light horse scouters raised, and taking the Cuotappo Indians with them, they be- ing entire foes to the Cheerokees, they marched along through Sugartown, likewise through ‘Toxaway, and coming upon some _ fresh signs of their enemies, one of the Cotappo’s | being detactiéd to track the enemy, and made out the sign as far as their camps, confined ‘in a hollow. After this reconiter of the Indian, | 'he returned to the whitemen, and informed | them as follows, That there was a great many _of them, too numerous for our whitemen that were there. This information occasioned them tosend down an express to Tinache, our camps, _ fora reinforcementof men and some more provi- sion. This being deliveredewe started as quick | as possible to their assistance very securely ; | but they not having patience to wait for our ar- rival, and doubting that the enemy would not | stay long there, they attacked the camps; but | being deceived by the situation of the same, they attacked the wrong end, and gave thema clear passage to run—as they did the first shot. ) pane Cotappoes being in the front, espied a | Cheerokee coming out of one of their houses, and being so confounded by the surprise, ran the wrong road for him, for instead of clearing himself, as the rest of his countrymen did, he made right inthe face of our Indians, who,willing | to see such achance, embraced the opportuni- 'ty, and committed him tothe terrors of death. | Afler the departure of those cowards, the Co. | as they were returning with their prize, and _ ascending up a hill, some small distance from their camps, the Cheerokees waylaid the Co. tappoes, and being unperceived by being be. hind trees, fired at them, and killed one of the head warriors among them, he who first discov- ered their camps. Our men instantly rushed up; but, as soon ag our enemies fired, they ran so that they cleared themselves. After this they started down to Toxaway, where we met them with the reinforcement; and having no- | thing more to do there, we all marched back to | Senica Fort, and arrived Thursday the 3d, and | lay there waiting for Col. Sumpter and regi | ment, before we could start to the middle set. tlement, being too searce for amunition; so | lay encamp’d ull Thursday the 12th instant, | when arrived 270 men of Col. Sumpter’s, who | encamped. | Friday, the 13th day of September, 1776, we started by beat of drum to march ; our in- | tent was for the middle settlements, a habita. \ tion for Indians. We, or our lines of battle, | were ordered as follows: We were drawn up in three lines or wings, Col. Sumpter comman. der of the right wing, Col. Hammon comman.- der of the left wing, and Col. Neel commander of the front or centre. In this manner we marched to the waters of Cane Creek, and encamp’d afier a day’s march of about 8 miles. Saturday, the 14th, we started from camp, and marched until we came to the mountains of Ocone, and crossed them with some difficul- ty, and at length came toa small branch, and | encamp’d there after a day’s march of 15 miles. |Next day we marched about 12 miles, and en. 'camp’d ata rivercalled Tugla, at the mouth of | Warewoman’s Creek. From there we march. | ed next day, and crossed Warewoman’s Creek, | it being so crooked that we crossed it above | 16 miles in the distance of 8. into a mountainous country, our marching be- coming the more difficulter, we scarcely ex- ceeded 12 miles per day; but allowing that this distance itself would some time or other bring us to our enemies towns, it fared us as follows: We next came tothe waters of Little ‘Tugla and encamp’d by the foot of 2 mountains —this days march about 12 miles. Tuesday, the 17th of September, we start- ed as formerly, and marched to the waters of Tinnessy River: From thence to the Gassy Plains, and on to the Narrows made by the mountaina on one side, and Tinnessy River on the other, where we expected to have an en. gagemeat with our enemies, being so advanta- gious lor them, being the spot where they re- | pulsed General Grant the last war, with killing upwards of 50 men, a great many horses, and lost a vast deal of provision; so much that a great many suffered before they returned. But to be short, we came through these narrows | with great courage, and continued our march to the first town in the middle settlements, call- ed Thisintheagh, and finding the Indians all had fle, we encamped in this town, it being convenient on account of Houseroom. Here we stoped till further orders, which soon came; for on Wednesday. the 18th instant, we march. eda long Tinnessy River to Coweachee Town, and finding the north army had been there, commanded by Brigadier General Rutherford, we started in pursuit of them as far as a town called Cannutee, where we found a party of the aforesaid army ; that is to say, a baggage guard, whilst the rest marched to the vallies. We started at the north fork of Tinnessy, and | marched this day to the south fork of said wa. ters, being about 12 miles. ‘This evening we were infurmed that the north army had stazted to the vallies was bewildered on aceount of being destitute of a pilot: This account occa. sioned us to send two pilots to them, allowing ‘them to attack the lower end of the vallies, whilst we were to attack the uppermost town. Here we encamped by the afuresaid ‘Tinuissy River. Thursday, the 19th day of September, 1776, "we started to the vallies, and a most difficult road it was, marching along Tinnessy River or “branch, called Cowechee ; the path or road "we marched led us into along valley, or rather a hollow, surrounded by mountains on all sices, | ‘only ihe entrance; This place goes by th> | name of Black Hole, and well it-deserves that ‘title. But to progecd, on our entring, our front | | | | | | | Then coming | | | | | | guard, commanded by Capt. Ross, was about balf through these narrows, and seeing some very fresh signs of Indians, bad a mind to halt, until the two wings, that is, Col. Sumpter and Col. Hammons wuuld come up even with him ; but they being tedious, the passage being nar- row and difficult, and he being hurryed by one John Sentpears, who was hurrying fast to his end, as appears by his conduct. But to be as short as pussible, as I informed you, the afore. said Capt. being about half through these nar. rows, the enemy was all ambuscaded around us, and not being discovered until Capt. Hamp- ton, who was Captain of the main guard, and marched on the front of the right wing, had as- sended up the mountain, when be espyed Jndi- ans behind a tree. Afier this discovery, he in- stantly fired at them. ‘This alarm opened or rather emptied our enemies guns. To our sur- prize they poured down their bullets uv us beyond the standing of any common soldiers ; but we being resolute, were determined not to be conquered, which plainly appears by our valour and magnanimity, our noble Col. Neel, being partly in the front, fought most admira- bly, considering his age and frailty ; but cast- ing these infirmilies away, and putting on the coat of invincibleness, and rushing through Lis enemies like a Herculess or one fearless of danger, with his men at his back, determined to fight while there was one of them; and by our obedience to his orders we, through mercy, defeated our enemies, with the loss of 13 gal. lant men. A merciful escape, considering the wonderful form those Heathens was placed in : Likewise the impossibility of our getting an equal chance with them. The greatest and indeed almost all the killed and wounded were in Col. Neel’s regiment, on the account of our being in the front of the battle. This engage- ment may be spoken of as a miracle, consider- ing the multitudes of ehemies, and an admira- ble place they had to fire on us, that we were not almost all killed; for nature never formed such an advantageous place for our enemies, which was allowed of by all spectators. ‘Fhis mountain is of a hemispherical form, and bad to march over the center of the same, where our enemies had us partly under their fire be- fore they were discovered—This battle con. tinued the space of 2 hours very warm. But ac- cording to our orders, which was as follows ; the first fire, our line (that is @o}. Neel’s regi- ment) was ordered to the right, to assist the guard who was first attacked; and leaving our line, according to order, and none to fill up our place, the poor front guard was left amongst their Heathen enemies, with none to assist them ; so that them that could not get retreat. ing dyed by the hand of the enemy ; for Col. Sumpter was ordered with his regiment to a mountain to the right, distant almost a mile : The chief design of that, I suppose, was to hinder our enemies from coming round on our baggage and provisions, which orders they ex- ecuted very manfully ; but as for Col. Ham. mon’s regiment, I cannot give any account of their orders, as I had not an opportunity of see- ing them; the line however that they ought to have cleared of our enemies was the léft, which kept up a constant and hot fire against us ; but by risking and running upon them, cleared them off their mountain, which seemed an impossi- bility to do, considering the advantage they had of us, on account of the situation of the moun. | tain they were on, and likewise the grass be- ing so admirable long, that they always had the first shot; and also the mountain being so steep, that they could handily clear themselves, so that we had, to appearance, but little chance with them. One thing, we pretty soon cleared them off their mountain ; for there was no oth- er way to conquer them than the method we took, which was to run right upon them as hard as we could run; for it would have been next to vanity to stand and fight them. But to be short, we cleared them off their mountain, with- ont giving them so much time as to take off all their luggage ; for they left baggage of about 200 of them, that is to say, blankets, mocosons, boots, some guns, matchcoats, and dear-skins, &c. &c. I must here give a sketch concerning the conduct of some of Col. Neel’s men who were wounded and escaped, first of Capt. Ross, who was in the front, was slightly wounded ; the Indian that fired at him thought to have his scalp, and making to him, his head being down and bleading, struck with the gun ia his hand until the force of the stroke broke the butt thereof; bui the Captain recovering, and act- ing like a gentleman becoming his station, with all the intrepidity, that gature ever en- dowed a hero with of this age, soon overcame him, and got his scalp. This aforesaid Cap. tain ought to be extolled to the utmost for his wonderful conduct and patriotism, who is al- ways acting for the good and advantage of his country ; and none who is not bigoted up in enthusiasm, that is to say, heat of imagination : If we were here to applaud him according to his deserts, we should neither have room nor expression to accomplish the same :—But to proceed, we will next take notice of a lieuten- ant that was that day in the front with him, named William Patrick, a mano of distinction as well as property; he was in the midst of his enemies having the whole engagement, and shewed all the valour and dexterity imaginable. Next our noble Capt. Clinton, who ought to be in the front of our journal on account of his valour and elegance, being a gentleman of su- perior dignity and flexibility, his courage is un- bounded, and his conduct inexpressible, as plainly appeared by the sudden retreat of these foresters, occasioned by the undaunted courage of such superior officers, and the assistance of their good soldiers ; but more particularly by the hand of providence that interposed in our behalf. we conquered our Heathen enemies. The number of Indians that foughus that day, by information, was 600 ; the number of them that was killed is not exactly known, but we fuund but 4 dead on the ground. —We had to encamp here all night, cn account of bury- ing our dead and attending the sick and woun- ded: A most dreadful sight to behold our fel- low creatures lying massacred in such a man- ner by the Heathens; for there was three om four sealp’d and one sadly speered and toma- hawked: His name was Jubn Sentspeers, who, when the battle"began, ran violently up among the thick of them; so that they had time and liberty to do with whatsoever they listed.— There was also killed Samuel Thomson, a young a man of great courage and valour, like- wise a man of conduct, and gained the good will and esteem of all that ever was acquainted with him; in short, he was of that evenness of temper, that all his acquaintance desired his company. If I had time and room to display his merits, or was really able to do so. it would make the most obduratest heart lament the loss of such a hero, to think that power or authori. ty over such a good man. But why should I say so; who by appearance was in that assem. bly fitter to go and attend the call he was com. missioned or summoned unto? It was allowed he was deceived, by thinking it was one of our own Indians, until the Cheerokee shot him with two bullets in the body. ‘There was like. wise killed John Guyton, William Moore, James Caldwell, John Branner, James Lusk, and one the name of Linth, the remainder I cannot recollect; but there was killed on the ground 13, and 18 wounded ; in all, killed and wounded, the number of 31 gallant and brave soldiers. Friday, the 20th, we gathered our sick and wounded, and sent them back to the North ar- my, and sent with them a guard of one hundred men, and the remainder of us continued our march to the vallies ; so started and came into the greatest of the narrows, where were great numbers of our enemies camps, confined by the sides of admirable laurel thickets: Our road seemed to go up such a large mountain, or rather betweentwo mountains, which scem- ed the wildermost like part of the world we were ever in, the precipice of which seem. ed unclimbable ; but not fearing these seeming difficulties whilst our good presepter Col. Neel was able and willing to lead us through all danger. In this manner we marched, expect- ing we should see our enemies every mile, whom we were always ready to engage, being prepared for them. At length we came to the top of the mountain with some difficulty, and finding it so high and open, we encamped thereon, after a day’s march of about 5 miles. Saturday, the 21st instant, we continued our march as formerly, and as I have mentioned of the day’s march before, of the difficulties con- tained therein, I think this day will afford us little restitution therefor, only this, it seems something descending, we marched through laurel swamps and thickets, a place where we had not the happiness of the sun to shine on us, neither the privilege of marching without great difficulty, occasioned by the narrowness of the path, being closed in by mountains on both sides ; and also the thickets of laurel so closed over our heads, that it hindered us, I may say, from the light of the firament. It al- so hindered our flankers to march, and confin. ed us almost to one path. In this manner we marched about 5 miles, and on a sudden the front espyed an Indian Squa ; at her they fired two guns, which put us all in an alarm, allow. ing it an attack, but soon found tothe contrary. Seeing no more Indians there, we sent up one Bremen, a half Indian, that was in company, to ask her some questions ; for although she was wounded in the shoulder and leg, yet she could speak, and told the interpreter as follows, viz. That all the Over-Hill Indians, and the chief of the Indians ‘of the towns we had gone through, were at that battle that was fought the day before: and further, that they were en- camped about 4 miles a-head, and was prepar- ing to give us battle by the river or waters of Tinnessy.—Hearing this account, we started, and the informer being unable to travel, some of our men favoured her so far, that they killed her there, to put her out of pain. But to pro- ceed, we marched as quick as possible to the aforesaid waters, beholding as we marched, the backs and forme they had to Jay their guns | on, in case of an engagement, as we conjec- tured; and by the appearance of the same, there appeared to be great numbers of them, account of—I have taken notice of this extraor. dinary mountain which was almost impassible, being nearly perpendicular. ‘The next moun. | tain that offered, was named by us Slatety Hill, oD account of its uateral produce, abounding mightily with slates. Over this we came also, and arrived atthe path where the army had to march, which was little inferior to ours, only | not nigh so high, but abounding with lawre! swamps and sideling thickets. After this man. ner we marched to the waters of Highwassa,and encamped between (wo mountains, afier a day’s march of 9 miles. Monday, the 23d, we made ready to march ; the orders from our. General was, that there should be 40 men chosen out of each regiment for front guards, or rather spies, to discover the situation of the towns ; so we set off, and always minded to take possession of all the hills and mountains we came to. We crossed a small mountain named Knotty Hill; from thence we steered to another, where we had a full view of a town called Burning-town, dis- tant from us about 1 mile : So took to the right to surround it, and continued in that course about half way. By this time we espied the main body of our army marching into it. The front of the towp we took, where we got peace- ably, without shooting a gun, though a large town, having upwards of 90 houses, and large quantities of corn ; but they had cleared them. selves, and took with them the chief of all their effects, save some of their horses. A party of Col. Thomas’s regiment being on the hunt of plunder, or some such thing, found ao indian Squa and tock her prisoner, sbe being lame, was unable to go with ber friends; she was so sullen, that she would as an old saying is, nei- ther lead nor drive, and by their account, she died in their hands; But I suppose they help. ed her to her end. Here we encamp’d among the corn, where we had a great plenty of corn, peas, beans, potatoes and hogs: This day’s march about 3 miles. Tuesday, the 24th instant, we were ordered to assemble in companies to spread through the town to destroy, cut down and burn all the veg- etables belonging to our Heathen enemies, which was no small undertaking, they being so plentifully supplied: So alter accomplishing this we were ordered to march. By this time there was an express arrived from the North army that gave us the following intelligence, viz. That the first town they came to they surrounded it, and killed and took the number of 16 Indian fellows and Squas, without the loss of one man, the enemy not being apprized oftheir coming. After this agreeable account we started, and came along a small mount, call- ed by them Bloody Hill, and so on to another town, called Timossy, distance 2 miles, and en- camped. Wednesday, the 25th of September, 1776, we engaged our former labour, that is, cutting and destroying all things that might be of ad- vantage to our enemies. Finding here curi- ous buildings, great apple trees, and, whiteman like, improvements, theee we destroyed ; and marched down said vallieg to another town, named Nowyouwee; this we destroyed, and all things therunto belonging, distant 2 miles. From hence we steered to another town called Tilicho, a brave pleatiful town, abounding with the aforesaid rarities ; I may call them rarities, why so? because they are hemed in on both sides by or with such large mountains, and likewise the settlements of the soil, yielding such abundance of increase, that we could not help conjecturing there was great multitudes of them; the smallest of these valley towns by our computation, exceeded 200 acres of corn, besides crops of potatoes, peas and beans.— These creatures are most curious in their way of building, according to their opportunity of in- struction; they raise in each of their towns a large house, which they eall a town, or in oth. er terms, a Fowwoing-house ; they raise it part. | ly round, first by 4 large forks stuck in the ground upright, then from each of these forks | which gave us fresh assurance of our having | there goes a beam to the other, which forms a another engagement with them, which we | frame, and by laths and other small pieces of much wished, if we could get an equal chance , timber, forms it x hollow square, and brings it with them in the ground, which is almost an | impossibility to do, they having such opportu- nities of chusing it: And likewise, they will not stand a battle with any, but when they have such advantages.—By this time we came within sight of the aforesaid river, which seem- ed the most advantageous place for our ene- mies of any water we had hitherto met with, being closed in by a thicket on one side, and by a large mountain on the other; however, placing our men in order, as follows, we sent the left wing over the river, the right wing up the mountain, and us in the front or centre :— These were the orders of our head command. er, General Williamson, which we obeyed, and marched through a dreadful valley and wonder. ful thickets. At length we came toa place more clear, and encamped there, after a day’s march of 9 miles. We are to mind, that the number of men that marched from Sinachee Fort, that drew provis- ions, were 1860, but the aforesaid battle reduc- ed us to the number of 1600, exclusive of 164 who were sent back with the sick and wound- ed. Sunday, the 22d day of September, 1776, we started, and it seemed as if we were-never to get a road again that was travelable, for this day showed us the worst road we hitherto’ met with ; the reason was, this day Col. Neel’s regi- ment was appointed fur the right wing flank, which occasioned us to take to the tops of the mountains, which seemed a task hard enough for birds ; but it was not atime then to hesitate, go we must, and go we did all with one con- sent, knowing that there was no danger or ma- terial affair tooba was all they depended upon in the execusion of it, and it always happened, that we came off fortunately and victorious, being crowned with fortitude, capable to bring os through the great- est difficulties: So we marched from one moun. tfin to another, which seemed an impossibili- ty even for fancy to accomplish, or for the most curious writer fodescribe. At length we came to a mountain more curious than the rest, be- cause it gave us a more clearer view the neighbooring mountains, and a small valley or grassy plains, this #6 wisbed to be our desired port; the distatice we could not give an exact n: Col.

Iam next to inform you, that we marched to another days march 6 miles. Thursday, the 26th, we started, and march. ed about 2 miles to another town called Canu. cy; here we stopped to destroy their handy work. From hence to another town named Ecochee ; here we stopped, and served it as the last mentioned. From hence we steered to another, calied Highwassah, where we met the North army, andencamped. This evening we had the prayers of Mr. Hall, a Presbyteri- an minister, being in the North army, where Brigad. Genera! Rutherford brought us 16 pri- | soners, that is to say, Nathan Hicks, Walter Scot, Matthew M’Mahan, Richard Rattleiff, William Thomas, Godfrey Isacks, and Alexan- der Vernon, Hick’s old Squa, named Peg, Scot’s Squa and two children, one Indian fellow, named the Barking Dog.

Hence it is, we judge, that, the drubbing which Mr, Stanly latelyegave the Democracy for their hypocritical prg- fessions of exclusive devetion to Southern rights, whilst they used the Slavery ques- tion for the benefit of their party, is ‘still rankling ia their bosoms. His shafts wei welf aimed, struck home, and stack fast. We judge they are still smarting from their cry of “treason” & the South on which divers democratic papers still ring, the changes. What proves. both. thei dread and hatred of Mr. S., is their anfair attempts to turn the attention of the pee- ple from the many unpalatable. truths, which the true report of bis speech con- tained, in its exposure of the dapligity of their party leaders, by charging bint with saying what he never did say. Ia their ea- gerness to divert attention from their own misdeeds, they make the most opposite and contradictory statements in referrence to Mr. Stanly’s speech. One says Mr, Stam ly had much more printed in his speech than he ever spoke, whilst another: says he left out many things in bis priated - speech he delivered in the House. They are unable to find any “treason” in the genuine copy of his speech or any want of devotion to Southern rights, and hence they take the reports of partisan letter writers, or imaginary versions of the speech, and then denounce Mc. Stanly as a traitor to the South. Out upon such dishonesty! Mr. Stanly is again in a fair way to expose himself to the malignant, attacks of his political opponents, He has succeeded in raising a committee to iuvestigate some of the doings of Loca- focoism during the late Presidential cam- paign. If there is no trickery resorted to to keep back the truth, we may look for some rare developments. Mr. Staaly is the man to make a fearless exposure of political dishonesty on the floors of Con- gress, and the Democracy will catch it again. We shall see their batteries turn- ed shortly in a different direction.— New- bernian.

But we do believe that many of its leaders are hungry for “ plunder, ” that they observe their prey with as keen a glance, and pursue it as perserveringly and as -remorselesely, as the best trained hawk, that ever followed a quarry through the air.” The “ Union,” upon consideration of the Cu- ban Expedition, its illegal objects, and its re- sulis as far as known, discovers that there is | that nearly the amount of money necessary to secure the work, has been subscribed, and that | ihe completion and success of the road are louk- edto as a settled matter.

The accounts from the mining regions. are very satisfactory, and it is believed, that of those employed in these operations the majority are realizing a fair remuner- ation for their Jabor. It is much to be regretted that a branch mint had not beenestablished among us at the commencement of our condition as a territory ; it would have been a saving, ward off all inquiry as tothe cause. The cause, however, lies not deep ;—it is, of course, altri- butable to that determination to impede the pro- gress of the Administration, which, it seems, is so unscrupulous and uncompromising, ‘as pot even to hegitate to clog the fnancial wheels of the Government, in the accomplishment of its vile purposes.— Raleigh Register. SENSIBLE VIEWS. Mr. Clay and the Presidency.—In a great speech delivered in the Senate a few days since Mr. Clay expressed himself in terms that indi- cate rather an unkind feeling towards the Pre- sident. We very much regret this, as we not only fully approve Mr. Clay’s course, but also that of the President, considering it prudent and consistent. We consider the Compromise most acceptable to the country, for the reason that it disposes of all matters at issues. If the President had urged his plan in opposition to the Compromise, such a course would have been censurable ; but we have yet to learn that he ever did any such thing. He possesses far too much discernment even to entertain for a moment such anidea. Mr. Clay errs in this that he seems to have expected the President to abandon his own recomendation, and come out for the Compromise in advance of the action of Congress. Such was not the duty of the President, nor would decent self-respect permit him so todo. His duty was simply to ratify whatever prudent action Congress might take. Nor was it improper in him to contradict the false report that he had changed bis views, and preferred the Compromise. Mr. Clay further errs in seeming to claim the whole honor of the Compromise. It is true that his resolu:ions took the lead, but it must be remembered that they met the approbafion of but few. Webster’s Speech did the work, and paved the way for a kind reception of the Compromise. Without his aid it most assured. ly would have failed. Herein, then, is a vani- ty exhibited by Mr. Clay not entirely excusa- ble. Webster shows no such weakness, ap- more than he was bound to do by his oath of office ; no more than law and publi~ sentiment required him todo; no more than what Mr. Van Buren, as the chief Magistration of the country, did during the Canadian frontier trou- bles, and what the present editor of the Union supported him in doing. The “ Union” loses no opportunity to side with the enemies of the country, and the ene- mies of liberty and of.peace. If respect is com- manded for the Government, and for those who represént its honor and its interests, it declares as in the case of the French Minister, that it is provoking a quarrel'with France. If a treaty is made with Great Britain, the practical effect of which is to prevent the British from coloniz.- ing on our continent, it declares * we are sold to the British.” If good faith is maintained with a nation with whom we are al peace, as with Spain, and a prompt effort made to pre- serve the integrity of our flag, then the Admin. istration is “ weak, incapable, incompetent, ig- | norant, monarchical,” &c. Ifthe Government objects to fitting out ships armed for battle a. gainst a nation of Europe with whom we are at peace ; if it hesitatesto wink at huccaneering and rapacity, why, forsooth, itis Austrian, Span- ish, or something worse. Nothing is done rel. alive to our diplomacy in which the not cry ont, “ Fee, faw, fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, Dead or alive, I will have some.” Let the Union put its fearsto rest. “ Old Zack” will neither sell us to the British, the Spaniards, nur any body else, nor will he ever cry “fifty-four forty or fight,” and then back out.—N.

The backwardness of farming ope- rations, and the weather about that time being very pretty, had led us to apprehend a failure by default of the Whigs of the country remaining at home. But such proved not the case. There was a very good attendance—a few from almost ev- ery section of the county. For an official report of the proceed- ings of the meeting, see below. We would take occasion to remark, that we cannot now see any good reason why there should not exist the most per- fect unanimity in the Whig ranks of Row- an.

Other great names are equally enti- tled to credit in this matter, yet they exhibit no overweening desire for exclusive honors. While Mr. Clay will gain nothing in the es. timation of the public by this thrust, it will have no favorable influence, though possibly an unfavorable one, in the final adoption of the Compromise. The President no doubt has friends who preferred the Compromise, for its comprehensiveness ; many evils may result, while nothing good can.—Ashboro’ Herald. The above admirably expresses our “ first impressions” on this subject. If there is to be an issue between the “ Pre. sident’s plan” and the “ Compromise” reported by Mr. Clay, as to the settlement of the agita- in Congrese, we have no hesitation in prefer- ring the latter, We are among those who de. sire that the question shall be permanently ad. justed ;—we desire it per se, and we desire it because it will take a vast amount of danger. ous capilal out of the hands of political huck- sters and demagogues. Among the thousand rumors started from Washington, there is one just now afloat, that: certain enemies of the Compromise have the President’s ear, and have influenced the Ad- ministration to oppose that project. We cer- tainly have not sympathy with such opposition. and are unwilling to believe that it existe. The President no doubt naturally prefers bis own suggestion entire ; but that he would in his own name permit any thing like opposition to the patriotic suggestions that promise peace, we do not believe. But there is human nature in old Rough and Ready, as well as if other fulks ; and we much doubt whether Mr. Clay’s tone of severity towards his California message, is atall calculated to molify matters. In this question we care not for Henry Clay or for Zachary Taylor, much as we admire and respect them, and we care not for Whig or Democrat, o: any other man or party, so much as fot the poace and harmony of the country ; and believing the course of action pointed out by the Senate’s Committee of Thir- teen to be the best mode of securing that peace and harmony, we earnestly hope that it may find American patriots enough to carry it. tion of the slavery question so * long drawn out’ | had been sent merely for custom. house use, and to enable some clerk to swear the books through with a good conscience. was not up to that sort of game, wrote a stern rebuke to the London house that shipped the | books.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE LYNCHBURG VIRGINIAN. Orange County, N. Carolinia, May 25th, 1850. ‘ I have the inclination to write, but am dis. trustful of my ability to do justice, in taking a public notice of the many interesting objects, which are presented to the sojourner, however long may be his stay in this delightful portion of the * Old North State.” The county of Orange is famed for its intel- ligence, learning and worth. Hillsboro’, the county seat, is a town of two thousand five hun. dred inhabitants, handsomely situated, with wide and spacious streets, lined with beautiful clustering trees. The inhabitants have dis. played fine taste in the arrangement of their dwellings, many of which are of the cottage or- der, and are generally surrounded with groves of forest and ornamental trees. Located at that place are well disciplined and prosperous insti. tutions of Jearning ; one of which is the *- Cald- The buyer turned in aston. | The seller simply did as be would wish to | | The bookseller, who | the county better. had never suggested any thing of the kind, and | yjew we think it would be unjust tosuch as | us as well, it must appear to all, evidently just and true, that none could represent With these facts in may have had other expectations as to the result of the meeting on Saturday, to con- clude that their force will not be admit- | | | { } | | | | | | } { ted, and that they will not eventually sus- tain the nominees with cordiality. It must be conceded that the best was done that Again: It is not long since a New Yorker could be done. and that it was accom- plished in the best manner. In accordance with previous notice, a large and respectable portion of the Whigs of Row. an county met in the Court House in the town of Salisbury, on Saturday the 8th June. The meeting was organized by calling Paul Sea. ford, Esq., to the Chair, and E. Myers to act as Secretary. At the request of the Chairman, Luke Black- mer, Esq., explained the object of the meeting, and offered the fullowing Resolutions, prefac- ing them with strong and eloquent appeals to the Whigs to throw aside sectional prejudices /and unite in supporting the ticket which may be selected by this Convention. Whereas, the Whigs of Rowan, have called a Convention of their party to meet in the Court House in Salisbury, on the 8th day of June, for the purpose ef nominating candidates for the next General Assembly, therefore, Resolved, That we approve of a Convention for the nomination of our candidates, and we pledge ourselves to give our undivided support to the nominees of this Convention, ided they be thorough going Whigs. Resolved further, That the present crisis in the af- fairs of the State of North Carolina, and the great in- terests that Rowan county, in particular, has at stake, demand that we should be represented by our ablest and most efficient men, and that no personal or local preju- dice shoald influence us in making choice of our can- didates. Resolved, further, That we heartily approve of the course pursued by President Taylor and his Adminis- tration, and that we will continue to give it dur undivi- ded support. Resolved, further, That the Chairman appoint three delegates to meet the delegation from Davie county, on Monday next, at Hall's Mill, for the purpose of nomi- ricultural wealth. If this last project is prosecuted we pre: dict it will find favor inthis county. That isthe route our people wanted the Fay- etteville and Western plank road to take. There are a large number of citizens here who would have taken stock in that road could they have had any assurance that that route would be selected. There are many others who would have gone into it for the sake of a plank road to Gold-Hill. Now, if Fayetteville, Anson, Richmond and Stanly shall set about this work in earnest, there will be presented a strong inducement for the friends of a road by that route, to come to the rescue, and have it continued on to this place. Of one fact there canbe no doubt, and that is, the road will pay well between this place and Cen- tre, and especially between this place and Gold-Hill. _Cheraw would consult her in- terest by subscribing for a road to connect at Centre, or some other convenient point. Masonic Celebration.—Preparations are be- ing made to render the Masonic Celebration to take place here on the 24th instant, a grand affair. The brethren of the Order are looking forward to it with peculiar interest ; whilst “outsiders, ” are merely wondering what they shall see—what learn — what profit. We would advise all who have prejudices against the Order, and all who wish to see them in pro- cession, as well as to hear some exposition of their principles, to attend on the 24th. The Rev. Mr. Ricaup, of the Methodist E. Church, will deliver an address on the occasion.

The question being taken on the Resolutions seperately, they were all adopted except the last, which, upon motion of Wm. P.

Upon a ballot being had Messrs. Hamilton C. Jones and A. H.

Whereupon, Messrs. Caldwell and Jones were introduced and accepted the nomination. On motion of Dr. James G. Ramsay, it was unanimously Reselved, That we the Whigs of Rowan, do heartily approve of the course and service of our former representative, John A. Lillington, and recommend him to the Whigs of our sister county Davie, for re-election to the Senate. The Chairman appointed Messrs. J. J. Bru- ner, A. J.

On motion, it was Davie delegates held their meeting, 09 Monday, rather surprised our delegates by tendering them a free passage to tbe Davie side of the river, and back, on that occasion.

The subject of this obituary on Sunday evening last, was in his usual health—on Monday morning he was at- tacked with soreness of throat and difficulty in breathing and speech, which was at first violent, but appeared to yield to medical treatment, and on Tuesday morning was thought much better and out of danger. Bat alas! how true the words of Holy Writ, “in the midst of life we arein death.” About nooa on Tuesday he was reported worse, and though all the skill and attention which could be procured was administered, he continued to grow worse, until about 8 o’clock, when he departed this life. The immediate cause of his death was the inflammation and swelling of the upper part of the windpipe, which prevented respiration. Mr. Jacobs was the son of Lewis and Elizabeth Ja- cobs, and was born on the 4th of September, 1801, in the county of Rowan, where he continued to reside until he was 2] years of age—he then removed to Lin- eoln eounty, und soon thereafter married Nancy, the daughter of Martin Hafner, and located in Lincolnton, where he continued to live until he was summoned by his Heayenly Father to that *‘ house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.” The deceased left to monrn their irreparable loss, an atfeetionute wife, who for many years has been afflicted, and two children—e son and daughter, on whom he do- ted with that affection which none ean appreciate bat a loving husband and tender parent—may the God of the widow and the orphan be to the bereaved a husband and father.

The news from Cuba is rather discour- aging ; showing that the enterprise was Very ill-planed, and worse executed. Two additional vessels, with about 1,500 troops have been captured by the Spanish war- steamer Pizzarro, and it is clear that the whole expedition has proved a disastrous failure. The inhabitants of the Island, who seem to dislike Lopez, remained per- tectly passive and suffered the liberators to be slaughtered or to be taken prison- ers.

During the twelve | months of her sickness, she was never heard to utter a | word of complaint, but on all occasions, manifested a | willingness to abide the decree of that God who had up- | held and sustained her in every time of trouble. And | when the time of her departure drew nigh, she fell | asleep in Jesus, leaving a disconsolate husband, father | and mother, to mourn the loss of one. who on al] occa- | sions, performed the duties of a daughter and wife | with fidelity.

THE SPRING SONG OF A GLAD HEART. BY CAROLINE M4Y. : And why shoold I be grave and sad, And wear 3 mvurpfal look, When nature teacheth joy to me, From out her flower wrought book ? When she telleth me to sing aloud, And sings bergelf to show How music ought, in sweet spring-time, From every thing to flow. Hark ! how the birds are earoling From the boughs of every tree! As if each drop of morning dew Was a funnt of melody. Hark ! how the bees are murmuring Over the garden bowers, Bearing upyn their gauze-like wings Sweet gifts from al] the flowers. Hark ! bow the ever restless wings Are singing all about, Now whispering low, like tales of love, Then barsting with a shout! Hark ! how glad sounds float everywhere The stainless ether through— And tell me, when all nature sings, Why should not I sing too? Leok on the blossoms of those trees, How sunshine smileth bright ; And how each blade of young, green grass, Seems laughing in the light ; Look, how the newly opened leaves Quiver and gleam and dance, As if they were in ecstacies, At the merry Spring’s first glance. Look, how the swift breeze springs to meet The waves upon tHe bay, And how they toss their foam on high, As they wrestle in their play ; Look, how the white and fleecy clouds Sail smiling g’er the blue ; And te}l me, when ull nature smiles, ~ Why should not I smile too? The spirit of the blessed spring Bids me to look up, and see How she spreadeth beauty everywhere On lake, and lawn, and lea, And so I look—obeying quick Her care-dispelling voice , And as I look, I dearly love, And as I love, rejoice. Breach of Promise of Marriage.— Fifly. four and Twenty-four. Sergeant Shee moved in the Court of Ex. chequer lately, for a new trial in the case of Adams vs. Gibbs, tried at Maidstone, before Chief Justice Wilde, on the ground of misdi. rection and excessive damages, Mr. Gibbs, a farmer, aged fifty-four, in marriage. All the liminaries were arranged, wedding dresses bt, and even the wedding breakfast order. ed whep the @fendant suddenly set off to Liv. erpool, and subsequently to America. Sergeant Shee contended that the damages, £800, were etcessive. The defendant was ready to pay handsomely for his refusal to marry the plain. t:ff, but £890 was far too much. What loss had the plaintiff sustained? ‘Phere was no in. teresting correspondence,sentimental courtship, no broken heart, or anything of that sort.— (Laugbter.) What had been the loss of this young lady? She had lost a husband of fifiy. four, Why, what hada man of fifiy-four to do with a young wile tweaty-four? Nothing at ail. She would be much better without him.— Cogn dled Sir F.

The rout has not yet been determined ; but old Lincoln shogld at ones take the subject onder considera. tign, and co operate with our Charlotte friends, who bave displayed ae spirit so jiberal. inthis improvement, the interest ot Gaston, Catawba and Lincoln, should’ not be seperated.

Wouenrzas, Bartholomew F. Moore, Attorney General of the State of North Carolina, hath exhibited his Bill in this Court, in which it is alleged that one Jesse Ray, of the County of Ashe, in said State, in the year 1829, obtained as a bounty for erecting Iron Works in said County of Ashe, under the Act of 1788, a grant from the State purporting to convey to the said Jesse Ray, 3000 acres of Land described as lying on the waters of the North Fork of New River, beginning at a hickory near the lands of Joshua Baker, (formerly Joseph Johnsons) and running North 20 degrees, East 92 poles to a large rock, then North 80 poles, crossing the river fo a poplar, then West 24 poles to a chesnut on Mill Creek Ridge, then North 65 poles toa cucumber, then North 45 de- grees, West with Miil Creek Ridge 800 poles to a maple, then North 20 degrees, East 500 poles toa chesnut, then North eighty degrees, East 6 hundred poles to a lay rock, then North 65 degrees, East 5 hundred poles co Horse Creek on three walnuts, then down the various mean- ders of Horse Creek to the North Fork of New River, then up the meanders of the said River to a bunch of Hornbeams at the mouth of Buffaloe, then South 45 de- 386 poles to a stake, then to the first station.

I had rambled about during the morn- ing, admiring the venerable buildings and beautiful gardens of this ancient metropo- lis, until at length I entered the State House, where I found the doors of the Senate chamber thrown open, 1 walked in, and finding the chamber tenantless and profound silence reigning, I took a seat and began to ruminate upon the many soul-stirring seenes which had here taken place. Busy retrospection carried me back to the early days of our beloved country. It was here the great and good Washington, having gloriously achieved | his country’s freedom, surrendered his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the American Armies—and, in the midst of the unbroken silence, I could not but feel the sacred influence of his pure and patri- otic spirit. My quiet reverie was startled by the disebarge of heavy artillery, and turning from the past, I sprang to my feet, sudden. ly awakened to a sense of the present.— The sound of many voices increased my “They’re coming,” was repeat. | edly exclaimed, and several persons hur. | ried into the chamber.

Without making a speech, sir, I deem the occasion and the place not inappro- priate to the uttering of a sentiment cher- ished by me, and deserving of being en- tertained by all men. It is this, and I as- sert it with great confidence, that that party, whether whig or democrat, which, at the present time gives the greater sup- port to the peaceful adjustment of the difficult and delicate questions at present distracting the national councils, and seriausly threatening todisturb the harmo- ny of the Union, will be entitled to and most assuredly will receive the lasting confidence and gratitude of the country, (great and long continued applause.) “ We shall remain with you, sir, but a short time.

Editors :—Being in Virginia during the life of President Madison, and while the friends of Temperance, under an apprehension that distilled liquor was the chief cause of in- lemperance, were exerting themselves to aban- don the use of such liquor as a beverage, the undersigned called on that distinguished states- man, and procured his signature to the sub- joined declaration. Immediately thereafter the signatures of President Jackson and President Adams were obtained. In commemoration of } this event, a silver medal was struck in Eng. | land, and transmitted to each of these genile- men. Recently, the names of President Van | Buren, and President Tyler, and President | Polk have been added to the same declaration.

Mr. Dickinson of New York, was next called for, and briefly but beautifully ex- pressed his sense of the honor done him —his deep devotion tothe Union, and ar- dent desire by every means in his power to promote the measures of adjustment suggested and advocated by Mr. Clay.— His remarks elicited great applause and | think truly deserved it. We were next favored by Mr. Dawson of Georgia, who earnestly desired to be excused, but whom the audience would not excuse, and for one I am very glad he was not let off.

From the Mobile Herald and Tribune. A REMEDY PROPOSED. [ Communicated. ]—In consequence of the re- solutions adopted by the Senate of Massochu- setis, which appear to me a new aggravation of insult and hostility to the South, I have been pondering over some means, by which we might become independent of our enemies, and | nothing that can be obtained from the South. Resolved, That. we reject, so far as lies, in our power, the Merchandise and produce: of the northera states, bostile to the Southern instite- tions. And of such merchandise as is indis- pensible, let it be brought from the the South. ern merchant who live and dies in the South, rather than from the northerner, whose earn- ings here are sooner or later transferred to the north. Resolved, That we encourage Southern indus. try, by easing at once the purchase of ready made clothing, coming from the north. The importation to Mabile of boots, shoes, shirts, coats, &c., is a reprodch and a disgrace to us. Our own tailors, shoe-makers, dress-makers and. seamsiresses are at least as ekillfull as the encouragement that they deserve. Resolved, That we encourage Southern ag- riculture by giving preference to all produce eultivaied in the Southern States, viz. by using Southern flour and not northern, eorn instead of oats, and fodder instead of hay. That we drink no ale, porter, or cider made in the north, but encourage the growth of Southern bops and apples, and the establishment of Southern brew. ries Resolved, That we encourage Southern Man. ufactures by consuming their goods in prefer- ence to all others; and that we use every ex- ertion to extend their number and variety.— That we give every encouragement tothe new paper mill, just going into operation near Mo- bile. Resolved, That we reduce the cost of for. eign goods, by encouraging direct importa. tions of all foreign ee te tise which we have until now imported through the north only— That foreign commercial houses favorable to Southern interests and policy be encouraged to establish branches and agencies among us, that our retail merchants may supply themselves at home, without the risk, trouble and expense of importation from the north.* The European markets would require a sup- ply of our goods, in the ratio of our imports, thus giving vitality and stability to a direct trade.— The cost of the goods would be so materially lessened as to make us independent of the north for them, and viimately to destroy their man- ufacturing inte:rsts. Resolved, ‘i nat in the distribution of public office, the people should invariably reject all candidates whoare not identified withthe South- ern population. The humblest office, com- mands a certain influence ; and the incumbent should not be suspected of nurthern prejudices. Resolved, ‘That we cease our subscriptions to any newspaper magazine or review hostile to our land and institutions. Resolved, ‘That professional men and partic. ularly ministers of the gospel and instructors of youth, born in the South receive onr patronage. —We should beware of those who under the garb of religion, poison the minds of the weak aod credulgus. Still more should we beware of teachers who instil into the minds of our children principles averse to our instilutions. Resolved that we should extend our colleges and other scholastic institutions by conferring on them new donations and privileges, exercis- ing discrimination in the selection of professors and teacherg in order that we no longer have occasion re to northern institutions for the education of our sons and daughters, whose minds are likely to be there poisoned by de- nuociations and anathemas against their pa- rents. Resolved, That we create and patronize an establishment for the publication of all element. ary bouks. Resolved, That our summer excursions for health and enjoyments be to our lakes and bays, to the Gulf of Mexico; to the borders of our Southern Atlantic Ocean, which contain places of resort combining all the varied advantages of sea bathing, comfort and society, equal, if not superior to those of northern watering pla- ces. All the southern States abound in de. lightful mineral springs, to which the invalid and the man of leisure can repair for health and recreation. Such, gentlemen is the seheme, I propose to | render us independent of the north, of New England in particular, and to retaliate their constant aggressions. ‘Touch their pockets and you will bring them to a senge of justice much ‘sooner than by appeals to their brother affec- tion. 1am ready to become a member of the assocition I recommend, and pledge my honor to abide by its constitution, ‘Those who are in favor of it will please respond to my call and inform the public where and at what time a meeting can be held to devise a plan by which a commercial league between the Southern States can be set in operation. A CITIzEN. *An ample of the advantages of such a system was with that view, I beg leave to submit some re- | gree us last winter by a targe importing house from N. solutions tothe citizens of Mobile and Alabama, | for their consideration. Whereas the late resclutions of the Senate of Massachusetts, was passed with a view lo condemn the conciliatory course of policy ad. vocated by their illustrious Senator in Con. | gress Daniel Webster, and whereas the New England Siates in particular have forgotien that their unparalelled prosperity and wealth are derived from Southern exports and are the fruits of Southern slave labor, and whereas the violent, unjust and continued opposition to Seuthern rights on the part of the Northeen Sections of the Union also requires that we should protect ourselves against their fanati- cism ; now and therefore is considereed expedi- ent, that citizens of Mobile and of the State of Alabama, in their respective counties, hold meetings for the purpose of deliberating upon the most effectual means of securing safety to our homes and respect to our constitutional rights. The following resolutions I beg leave to sub- mit to their consideration. Resolved, ‘That an association of our citizens, sound in the maintainance of Southern ptinei- ples, and devoted to the interests of the Suuth- ern country, should be formed for the purpose . of encouraging bome industry in all its branch- es and rendering the South independent of all individuals, and corporations, and societies in- | imicable to her domestic policy. Resolved, ‘That we purchase from the north; rleans, a branch of which establishment itself in Mo- | bile, and supplied some of our fashionable stores with | dry goods and fancy articles, at 15 to 20 per cent. cheap- | er than they can be bought at Boston, N. Y. or Phila- | delphia. By means of the Telegraph, their orders can | be forwarded to New Orleans and executed in less than 24 hours. Can any of the northern cities present such advantages to Alabama merchants ? Steam Saw- Mill.—Those enterprising cilizens, } at the mouth of the Chickasaw Bogue river, three apd a balf miles above the cily, which promises to be, when fully completed, one of th® best arrangeu and most complete and ex- tensive establishmenis,in the south-west. It will combine all the modern improvements in steam mills, as the projectors, as well as build. ers, are from down East, the State of Maine, where they do up the, Jumber business afier the most approved fashion. The house, when fin- isbed, will be 108 feet long by .64 feet, wide aod two stories high. Only one-half is now up ; the other to be raised early in the fall, and would have up before this, could the workmen have been induced to remaig through the sum- mer. ‘Two saws only are now running, which cut and cuts at the rate of some 6,000 per.day.

Their power is ample, as they have five boilers 36 feet long, 30 inch. es diameter; two engines of 45 horse-power each, 12 inch cylinders, 32 inch stroke, and 60 to the minute. The boiless are located im. mediately back of the center of the mill, and the engines, one in each balf of the building. The boiler chimney is some fifiy feet from the mill, is built of Philadelphia brick-in the form of a large column, and is 67 feet high. The slabs and saw-dust furnish an abundance of fu- el for the boilers, and slabs being cut the length needed by a circular saw, and sent down-a slide to the furnace. The location of this mill is most admirable ; being but a short distance from Mubile River, enable the owners to obtain stocks from all the rivers which empty into Mobile Bay. We raft which had been floated over two hundred miles, and in a high state of water rafis can be brought from Rome, in Georgia. The river furnishes, above the mill, ample room fur securing all the stocks they may need, and plenty of water to permit a vessel drawing seventeen feet water to load atthe mill. The sawing is all done in the second story, and while the slabs are sent down on one side to the fire, the lumber goes down on the other on a gangway tothe deck of the vessel loading, | while the stocks are taken up another by means of an endless chain, which works an iron wheel with cogs to fit each link. It affords us real pleasure to call the atten- tion of our readers, to such evidences of im. provement near our city, for undertakings like this diversify the application of capital and la. bor, and add to the productive wealth of the State. We hope the worthy proprietors will find their investment profitable to them as we are confident it will prove advantageous to the communily.— Mobile Advertiser. PAINE’S HYDRO-ELECTRIC LIGHT. By the following article, which we capy from the Boston Post, it will appear that Mr, Paine’s discovery of light from water, by mechanical action, is at last perfected : ; Afier a period of six years, employed in a series of experiments, conducted upon the most philosophical principles, and continued with in- defatigable perseverance, Mr. H. M. Paine, of Worcester, bas completed his “ Magnetic Elec. tric Decomposer,” an ingenious apparatus for evolving hydrogen and oxygen gases from wa- ter, by the agency of electricity, generated by mechgnical means. ‘The gases thus obtained may be used for light, heat and motive power, and have already been practically tested for the two first named purposes, on a considera- ble scale, with wonderful effect. At his residence, on ‘Tuesday evening, April 23, Mr. Paine exhibited the operation of his invention to a number of gentlemen in Boston aud Worcester, some of whom have bad con- siderable experience in the gas business, and others have taken great interest in plans and projects, having in view the production of arti- ficial light at cheaper rates than it can be fur- nisbed by the means bitherto employed by gas manufacturers. Mr. Paine bad his house bril- liaotly lighted up, although be used only one small burner for each room. “The light was exceedingly strong and white, and so pure that the most delicate shades of blue and green in some colored prints could be instantly distin. guished at a distance of several feet fram the burner, (a common gas burner,) which was supplied with gas from a pipe whose diameter did not exceed one quarter of an inch. At the same time that the light was being exhibited, the mode of using the gas for heat. ing was also shown. A small jet of pure hy- drogen. between two circular plates of iren, raised a few inches from the floor, was lighted, and in a few minutes an equal and genial heat was diffused throughout the apartment. ‘Thus the astonished party had the light and heat to. gether, supplied from the same source below, and their expressions of admiration were un- bounded; nor were they abated when they were led down into the cellar to examine the exceedingly small machine by which the gas was made. ‘The box containing it was about 18 inches square, and 8 in depth. We cannot give the details of the interior of the machine, but will simply state that, as its name indi- cates, it evolves magneto electricity by purely mechanical action. From the above mention. ed box there ran flat copper wires into the de. composing Jar, height, and six or eight inches in diameter, and partly filled with water; in this jar, by the ac. tion of the electricity just spoken of, pure hy- drogen gas alone was formed from the water, whence it passed into two gasomelers or re- servoirs about the size of a barreleach. The pole, at which oxygen gas is liberated, on this occasion. passed into the ground, so that hy- drogen only was evolved by the action of the machine. The process of carbonizing the by- drogen for illumination is exceedingly simple, and was open toview. It is very cheap, so much so, that Mr. Paine says that the cost of carbonizing the gas he has burned in his house in three burners every evening for a week, has not yet amounted tu one cent. The hydrogen is used for the general purposes of light and heat, and the oxygen can also be secured in a second jar, and may be used with the hydro. gen to produce the “calcium light” for light. houses, Mr. Paine has also discovered a principle hy which he can regulate the quantity of electri- city to be discharged into the composing jar.— A large machine has recently been perfected by Mr. Paine, pf sufficient power to supply three thousand burners with gas. Tt is sel up in the Worcest>r Exchange, and only occupies a space of three feet square by six io height. One éubic foot of water will make 2,100 feet of ga and a weight of 67 pounds, falling nine feet in'an hour, will make, from this larg. er machine; 1,000 feet of gas. The appara tus cen be applied so-gas works of any kind, and.be.ueed, with any. of the.gas fixtures, at present in fashion, ated on the Catawba—near the rdwa of lotte. a4 " While on & visit to this place some six month? ago, we were much delighted to find thelelti’ zens clothed in Rock Island Jeans of 96 Giié & quality as mistaken for broadcloth at # tittle distance.

There is no State in the Union better adapted to the growing, of wool than North Carolina—our water powef is abundant and cheap, and all we need to becomo a manufacturing people is a little more enter. prize—a little more State pride. We sincerely trust Messrs. Carson, Young & Grier will meet with the encouragement they deserve, For our- selves—as Southern men—if any considerable portion of the community would back us, we would rather wear homespun coats and coon. skin hats the balance of our lives than to (brow another cent into-the coffers of the uo- grateful aggressors of the North. Depend up- on it they will not respect our rights until we begin to live independent of them; and the first step towards this independence, is to du our own manufacturing.—Ral. Star. “On one occasion, when the subject of mak- ing appropriations for the public buildings was under consideration in Congress, Mr. Randolph rose and as usual spoke in opposition’ to it— appropriations had been frequeatly asked and granted—and still the buildings went up with a stealthy pace; he wanted to see the end of it, and for this purpose he moved to refer the subject to the committee on unfinished businese. A workman in the gallery close by, irritated at the opposition Mr. R. had shown to what was to constitute his support, and unable to bear this taunt, cried out in a voice something like Randolph’s, “and J move, Mr. Speaker, that the gentleman be referred to the committee.” This severe retort upon the ill-tormed and bad- ly made orator from Virginia, set the whole house in a roar, and the sergent-at-arms was immediately dispatched to arrest the offender, but be disappeared and could not be found.” COAXING UP AN EXPRESSION. A brace of * lovyers,” anxious to secure each other’s shadow ere the substance faded, stepped into a Daguerreotype establishment, recently, to sit for their “ picters.” ‘The lady gave pre- cedence to her swain, who, she said, * had got to be tuk first, and raal natral.” He breed up bis tow head of hair, gave. a twist to bis neckerchief, asked his gal if his sheert collar stood about X, and planted himself in the ope- rator’s chair; .e soon assumed the physiog: nomical characteristics of a poor mortal in @ dentist’s hands, about to part with one of his eye teeth. “ Now, dew look purty,” begged the lady, casting at him one of her most fan: guishing glances. ‘The picture was taken, and when produced, it reminded the girl, as she ex- pressed it, “jist how Josh looked when he got over the measles!” and as this was not an era in her suitor’s history, particularly womhy of her commemoration, she insisted that “he should stand it again.” He obeyed, and she attended him to the chair. ‘ Joeh,” said she, «just look like smilin’, aod then kinder dop't.” The poor fejlow tried the indefinite injunction, “La,” she cried, you look all puckered up.”— One direction followed another, but with as Jit- tle success.

An incident occurred on Eriday last, in retarving from Chapel Hill, which de- serves notice, and is a striking example, to young men to show what true courage is, contrasted with the mock sensibility we frequently see, which sends them to the “field of honor’ upon a mere punctilio. A heavy four-hotse hack, with two ladies and six gentlemen, was descending a hill about 15 miles from Raleigh, when one of the wheels struck a high stump which threw the driver from the box, and the horses started off at full speed. Two of the young men made their exit from the haek without ceremony. The horses soon overtook another hack, and a disastrous collision seemed inevitable. Fortunate- ly it passed without striking. About this time one of the gentlemen, (whose name it is proper should be made known.) Mr. Richard H. L. Blount, of Perquimans Co. | —a Chape) Hill Student—at great risk to himse}f gained the box and succeeded in reaching the only rein that had not fallen to the ground, and by his presence of mind | and exertions, the horses were stopped | after runaing about a mile. No serious | damage was done. We are furnished with the facts by one | who feels very grateful to Mr. Blount for | this troly heroic act, and consider this no- tice due to him from the whole party, who gematned in the coach. N.

JOHN M. MOREHEAD, Ch’m’n. J. B. Lorn, Sec’y. THE N. C. RAIL ROAD. In our last issue, we stated the fact that the entire stock had been subscribed for, at the re. cent meeting of the Commissioners at Chapel Hill. This will be a source of rejoicing to every citizen of the State who feels the slight. eat interest in its welfare and advancement.— To all those who have long felt—and who has not (elt it?—that the people of North Carolina are subject to embarrassments and disadvanta- gee in trade of no ordinary character, and who had become convinced, that unless some great change could be efferted, competent to control and reverse our present course, that we must still descend to lower points of depression, to all such we say, that the bold measures adopt. ed by our last Legislature, on the subject of In- ternal Improvement, must prove a source of unmitigated satisfaction. The success of this grand project is placed now beyond all question, and all necessary steps for the commencement of the great work will soon be taken. What man is there whose breast is warmed by a North Carolina heart who does not feel that heart leap for joy at the bright prospect which begins to dawn upon his mother? Who can estimate the many and great advantages which North Carolina will | derive from this mighty enterprise? What has | been the condition of our State for years past ? Turn where you would, the eye was met by de. | serted fields, dilapidated habitations, anda dis. | contented people ; and in some portions of the State the ancient forest had again resumed its dominion over the ruined works of man. From the fertile Rice lands of the East, up to the | very foot ot the Mountains, the same scenes | | were exhibited, and the planter upon the Cape Fear abanduned his home and house-hold gods, and in his precipitate course to the west jained | the throng hurrying thither from the Yadkin and Catawba. The Western portion of North Carolina abounds in treasures not exceeded by any part of the world. The Western counties are competent to furnish means of enjoyment and happiness to every class of mankind, from the mere utilitarian to the most romantic ima- gination. But yet they have remained unim- proved, nay, almost unknown, and a country which should be teeming with all the wealth of an active population, lies comparatively des- olate and waste. Upon the banks of our streams, where should be exhibited the thriving bustle of the manufactory, silence has dominion, in- terrupted only by the hoarse rush of the river, and if any eye has been there to mark what [ have been that of the stranger who wondered at the apathy exhibjted around him. The Central Rail Road will infuse new life and energy throughout North Carolina. ‘The sluggishness of her sons will be shaken off, and the soubriquet of “ Rip Van Winkle” will be forever laid aside ; the tide of emigration which has carried off so large a number of our best citizens will cease to flow throngh our borders, and the waste places of the land will * bud and blossom as the rose ;” the decrepi- tude of premature age wil] he thrown off, and she will stand forth a goodly matron, with hap. py be erg Bila hls srect with conscious pride, their energies and vi uafading, a strengthepjng with the aivanes of years. = Raleigh Register.

This body assembled in this-City on Mon- day last,and adjourned ow ‘Tuesday afternoon. pared in time for this week’s paper, we shall give our readers such information as our means of observation enables us to do. The number of | slegates invatiendance was | between 150 and 160, from 46 coudties—con- | stituting one of the highest Conventions that ever assembled in Raleigh, and embodying high respectabjlity, and as splendid talents among lis members as can be gathered in the Old North State. At 120’cleck, the Convention was called to or- der by John Kerr, Esq. of Caswell, upon whose motion, for the purpose of temporary organiza- tion, Hon. Nathaniel Boyden was called to the Chair; and on motion; J. M. Edney, of Bun. combe, and Seaton Gales, of Raleigh, were ap- pointed Secretaries. The list of Delegates was then made out, each delegation reporting names as the coun- ties were called over. A committee of one from each Congression. al District, was then raised for the purpose of reporting permanent officers for the Convention, namely: Messrs. Kerr, of Caswell; Foy, of Jones ; Williams of Surry ; Thompson, of Ber- tie; Little, of Anson; Edney, of Buncombe ; Meares, of N. Hanover ; Mendenhall, of Guil- ford, and Johnston Busbee, of Wake. The Convention then took a recess until 3 o’clock. At 3 o’clock, the Cenvention re assembled, Hon. N. Boyden, in the Chair, Mr. Kerr, from the committee of Nine, reported the fol- lowing officers, viz : President, James T. Morehead, of Guilford. Vice Presidents, John Burgwin, of Jones, R. B. Gary, of Northampton, Jas. M. Edney, of Buncombe, Henry B. Elliott, of Randolph. Secretaries. Wm. H. Mayhew, of Craven, Seaton Gales, of Wake, Preston W. Wooley, of Stanly. On being conducted to the Chair the Presi. dent returned his thanks to the Convention for the honor conferred upon him, in eloquent and appropriate terms. A committee of Eighteen, two from each Con. gressional District was then appointed to report proper subject matter for the consideration of the Convention, namely : Ist Dist. J. M. Edney, H. L. Robards, 2nd * Nat. Boyden, C. A. Parks, 3rd * = Alfred Dockery, P. H. Winston, 4th “ Jesse H. Lindsay, Jona. Worth, 5th “ John Kerr, Jas. H. Taylor. 6th * H.W. Miller, J. F. Simmons, 7th “ F,J. Hill, Ed. J. Hale, 8th “* Wm. Foy, W. F. 8S. Alston, 9th “ K. Raymer, Lewis ‘Thompson. And then the Convention adjourned until Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock. Every section of the State was represented in this Convention, by Delegates such as did great honor tothe State and party; and we have never attended the session of a similar body where so much of good teeling, harmony and unanimity prevailed throughout its delib- erations. The Delegates came together fully impressed with the importance of the business to be transacted ; and their counci!s were con. ducted with the right spirit—a spirit of forbear. ance and conciliation—which augurs the best results, in the resolve again to secure a tri- umphant victory for the glorious Whig banner in the Old North State, over which it has waved so happily and so long. Turspay Mornine, June 11. The Convention met at 9o’clock. Dr. F. J. Hill, from the Committee of Eighteen, in rising to present their Report, called the attention of the Convention to the late action of the citizens of the U. States to produce a dismemberment of the Union—action which had called forth the efforts of patriots of all parties to stem the tor. rent of fanaticism and Disunion; and read ex- tracts from an article in the Charleston Mer- cury, openly advocating Disunion, and a con- nection with the British Government. Dr. H. remarked that the voice of N. Carolina should be heard on this subject—the character of the State was such as to ensure as great respect to her deliberately expressed voice, as could be paid to any other in the confederacy. It was not intended that any attempt should be made to create political capital; but the great men of the land required the aid of every patriot in their efforts to adjust the agitations of the day, and to hold up their hands. It was therefore our duty to take action ; the opionion of this Convention would have great weight with Con. gress. It has been demonstrated that the mov. ing principle of the agitators was the dissolu- tion of the Union, and a return to vassalage of Great Britain. After a few other remarks, Dr. Hill reported the following Resolutions : 1. Resolved, That we have unabated confi. dence in and attachment to, the principles of the Wuie Party; and we believe their suc- cess will promote the prosperity and advance the honor of the Country ; secure the stability of the Union; and perpetuate the blessings of freedom. 2. Resolved. That whilst we are firmly de- termined to meet and repel all encroachments upon the constitutiona] Rights of the people of North Carolina; yet are we equally resolved to uphold and defend the integrity of our Nation. al Union against all assaults by whomsoever made, and from whatsoever quarter they may come. 3. Resolved, That upon the perpetuity of our Union depends that Independence and Liber- ty which we possess, and which were the work of the joint counsels and efforts; of the common dangers, sufferings and success; of our Revolutionary fathers ; and which we are bound by every consideration of gratitude to them ; of interest and honor to ourselves, and daty to our posterity ; to maintain and defend. 4. Resolved, That we believe a large por. tion of the American people desire the restor- ation of harmony and concord to our country, by a fair and honorable adjustment of the agi- tating questions connected with the Institution of Domestic Slavery ; and they demand that their and comfort shall be no longer dis- to by keeping open, as t&pital for dema- gogues and fanatics, those delicate and dan- gerous questions. 5. Resolved, That we approve, and believe a large majority of the people of North Caroli- na do approve the general plan of the Adjust. ment reported to the Senate of the U. States from the Cpmmittee of Thirteen ; and desire | that, with such amendments as our friends io Congress may deem necessary, just and proper, it should be adopted, and become the law of the land. 6. Resolved, That our confidence in the don paper. timo, on hearing of the flight of Lopez. ability integrity and patriotism of the Presidnet The official proeeedings not having been pre- | Pre of the United States, Generar ZACHARY TAYBOR, is undiminished ; and we feel con- sinced that, regardless of the abuse, misrepre- sentation and calumnics of his enemies, he will ve himself 16 be: what he has always been, a true friend to his country ; that he will do his duty and bis whole duty to that country ; and that his course ip the administration of the Go- verament will be conservative and patriotic. 1. Waereas, A large number of the people of the State, without distinction of political par- ty, have indicated a wish to have the State Con- stitution amended, so as to give to voters for the House of Commons the right to vote also for Senators: AND WnEREAs, it is a fundamental principle’ of . popular government, declared ju government in our Bill of Rights, that all polit- ical power is vested in and derived from, the People only :— Revolved, in the opinion of this Conven- tion, that the Legislature should adopt some mode, in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, by which the sense of a majority of the People may be clearly ascertained, and their wishes carried out, in reference to said proposed amendment of the Constitution. 8. Anp Wuergas, many People of the State have indicated a desire that the preseut mode of electing Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, Treasurer, Comptroller, Secretary of State, Justices of the Peace, and other State officers, shall be changed, so as to give the election of said officers directly to the people themselves: AND WHEREAS, the voice of the people, without distinction of party should be consulted in this, as in every other matter in- volving an alteration or amendment of the State Constitution : Resolved, in the opinion of this Convention, that the Legislature should also adopt some mode, in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, by which the sense of a majority of the people of the State may be clearly ascertain- ed, and their wishes carried out, in relation to the manner of electing said officers or any of them. 9. Resolved, That the official conduct of his Excellency, CHARLES MANLY, during his present term of service, meets with the hearty approval of this Whig Convention; and we should fail of our whole duty to our constituents and of justice to an able, a faithful, and a patri- otic public officer, it we should withhold our thanks from one who has devoted himself to the preservation of the honor and the interests of North Carolina. The above Resolutions having been adopted, unanimously, with the exception of the Sth, 7th and 8th, to which there were a few dissenting voices, a Resolution was reported from the Com. mittee, and adopted, regulating the mode of vot- ing in the nomination of a candidate for Gov- ernor, namely, that each county should be en- titled toas many votes as they had members of the House of Commons ; and that the Delega. tion from each county should appoint one of their number to cast the vote of their respective coun- ties. Mr. Mendenhall, of Guilford then rose and nominated his Excellency CHagies Man ty, of Wake. Mr. Troy, of Robeson, nominated Col. Joy- ner of Halifax but the Delegation insisted upon the withdrawal of his name, Col. J. not desiring that he should be put in competition with the present incumbent, to which Mr. Troy finally consented. The voting then took place viva voce, the vote of every county represented being cast by one of their number, when it appeared that Governor Manly was unanimously nominated. The an. nouncement was received with loud and long applause. On motion, a committee of four was appoint. ed to wait upon his Excellency, Charles Manly and inform him of his nomination for re-elec- tion by this Body— which committee scon after reported that the duty had been performed, and that Gov. Manly would appear before the Con. vention. Accordingly the Governor was conducted in- to the Hall by the committee, when the Presi- dent formally communicated the action of the Convention. The Address of Gov. Manly commenced with an able and triumphant refutation of the charges which had been preferred against him in some localities, and the slanders which the party presses had propogated with respect to the discharge of his official duties ; but the main part of his Address related to the subjects of Education, Internal Improvements, and the contemplated extension of the elective fran- chise ; all of which were discussed in a very able manner, and his position upon each placed in a clear and satisfactory point of view. We were particularly pleased with the power. ful and eloquent tribute to Gen. Taylor, by our faithful and gallant Whig Governor ; his spi- rited defence of the sturdy old veteran; and his masterly delineation of those sound princi- ples which guide and govern the Whigs of the Union—no less than his scathing review of the practice of the Democratic party against their professed principles ; their pitiless proscription; and unworthy attempts to gain the spoils of of. fice. No part of the Address, however, re- ceived more of the hearty coneurrence and loud applause of the Convention, than the de- voted attachment displayed by Gov. Manly for the Constitution and Union of the States—in. deed, every allusion to our happy Confedera. tion of States, bound together, as they are, by so much to enlist the feelings of the virtuous and patriotic citizen ; so much of past recol- lection and so much of glorious hope ; was re. ceived by the members with rapturous applause and the most enthusiastic feeling. Every heart was touched at once with patriotic and ardent emotions, when reference was made to our ef. forts for the Union’s perpetuity. As this Address will be published, we do not design any further details of it for the present, from the fear we may do it injustice in our ne- cessarily hasty account of the proceedings of the Convention. We hope and trust, however, that it may be widely disseminated throughout the State, as a corrective to the misrepresen- tations and slanders which have been put afloat respecting the course pursued by the Execu- tive, in discharge of the responsible duties of his office. Before the adjournment, Presideat Morehead read an invitation from the Governer to the members of the State Convention, to visit his Mansion on Tuesday evening at eight o'clock, which invitation was accepted by acclamation. The Convention adjourned till halt past 3 o'clock. In the afternoon, a resolution of which no- tice had been given by Gen. Iredell, proposing (in substance) to the Democratic Convention soon to assemble, an ggreement by which a Gubernatorial canvass may be dispensed with, came up, was discussed, and finally indefinite- ly postponed. This disposition was made of the subject, from an indispositiun among the members to change the existing babit of can- vassing, at the second term of the incumbent, At least, we are consinced that many members would have voted for it under other circumstan- ces. But where the public acts of the Gov- ernor have been arraigned, it is only fair that he should have an opportunity of being heard before the people sought to be prejudiced a- gainst him. When, however, candidates are to be chosen for the term following the next, it will be a fit time, when new men are to be brought into the field, for the introduction of a new custom, if deemed advisable. We express no opinion upon the intrinsic merits of the pro- position. It will be time enough to discuss these hereafter. But we must hasten on. This subject being disposed of, John Kerr, Esq.. of Caswell, as loudly called for from all parts of the House ; and, coming forward, ad- dressed the Convention as only he could do it ; in those strong, impassioned tones of thrilling eloquence which rang through every part of the spacious building, aud re-echoed from the lofiy dome. No words are equal to the ex- pression of the intense interest with which ev- ery eye in the crowded hall was fixed upon the excited and spirit-stiring orator,as they listened to the words of fire which, received in warm and sympathetic bosoms, kindled such a flame of ardent patriotism and Whig enthusiasm, as sought vent in the frequent and cheering ap- plause which greeted the speaker at every burst of eloquent fervor and patriotic feeling. Tue Union was his theme—the Union, whose broad bases were laid by the hands of Wash- ington, and cemented by the blood of our fa- thers—the Union, the protection alike of our liberty and property—the Union of the States, under the blessed influences of which our coun. try had attained the highest pitch of glory and renown—but upon which the suidical hands of Disunionists, fanaticism, fanatics and agitators were sought to be laid for its severance and destruction. Most indignantly did he denounce them as traitors—the Erostratti of the’ Repub. lic—who would put a torch to the fair temple of liberty erected in this proud land, to reduce the edifice to ashes, and to destroy the labors of the great and good men of the Revolutionary day, in its formation and embellishment. This part of Mr. Kerr’s speech is beyond our powers to describe. Our imagination was completely carried away by the vivid pictures drawn in so masterly a manner that excited fancy imagined they were objects of vision and fact. We saw the incendiary torch borne by the hands of traitors through the land; we saw the blackened ruins of depopulated and destroyed cities ; we looked upon waste and desolate fields, where once the harvest grew ; on neglected and unweeded gardens where once blossomed the rose, and where the air was perfumed with elegant shrubbery and delicious flowers ; bloodshed, rapine and mur- der stalked hideously o’er the land once adorned with cities, towns and villages, cultivated fields and happy cottage homes; and our inmost soul echoed indignant denunciations upon the foul hands whose black treason had wrought the withering curse, and inflicted the bloody out- rages on which we gazed in despondency and sorrow. But soon the theme was changed ; and the warrior deeds of the old Thunderer of Buena Vista were proclaimed to the world in all their matchless glory and brilliant splendor of their achievement; and while the green wreaths of victory decked his honored brow, we saw him borne to the Presidential chair by the hands of bis admiring countrymen, while loud shouts of victory and of gratulation, from millions of his grateful fellow citizens pealed upon the air, and resounded through the land. A rapid sketch of General Taylor’s character and present position followed ; the principles of the Whiy party were briefly discussed ; the action of the present Convention was explain- ed and commended; and then followed such rallying appeal to the whigs of the State, as, could they all have heard it, there would be no need of any other during the coming campaign. It seems to us that every Whig then present must do his whole duty, or his heart must be cold and impenetrable as the solid block of ad- amant. Wm. H. Rhodes, Esq., of Bertie, next ad. dressed the Convention in a spirited manner ; afier which Henry W. Miller, Esq., was loudly called for, and spoke some half an hour. This speech was well received, characterized as it was with the usual ability and sound reason and argu. ment which this gentleman always brings to the elucidation of every subject. But our space will not admit of further extension of the clos. ing proceedings. The thanks of the Convention were tender- ed to ils Officers ; and in adjourning the Con. vention, the President delivered an address full of gems of wit and beauty, which we trust may be published with the other proceedings. Thus closed the Whig State Convention, af.- ter a harmonious session of two days, in which important matters were deliberated upon, dis- cuesed and adopted, in that fraternal spirit which we trust may always actuate North Car. olina Whigs. One heart and one mind seem. ed to pervade us all when we seperated; and we doubt not the best results will follow from the plans matured and the measures sanc- tioned. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

THE WHIG CONVENTION. This body of gallant spirits adjourned on Tuesday evening, after having di of all the matters that were brought before them. We publish in another part of this paper, the official proceedings, to which we re- fer with pride and pleasure. For respectability of numbers and talent, for single- ness of purpose, for unanimity of sentiment, and thor- ough devotion to the great conservative principles of the Whig party, and the cause of trae Constitutional liberty, the late Whig Convention was unsurpassed by any body of the kind, that ever assembled in the State, and keenly alive to everything affecting her interest and honor, we never felt a warmer of attachment for the “old North,” than at the assembling of this Convention.

Hill—than whom, truer patriot breaths not—upon the 5th Resolution of the series adopted by the Convention. When the Convention adjourned on Tuesday after. noon, it was with the understanding that it would re-as- semble in full force, in the evening, at the hospitable mansion of Gov. Manly, and it did so—scarcely a mem. ber coming up missing. Many of our citizens were alao there, and, chief of all, the Ladies were there, lending the light of their countenances to the scene and gracing it with their beauty. It would be out of place here to dwell upon the enjoyments of the evening, but the whole affair was one of those rare occasions that —‘* Wake a glad rememberance of one’s youth, Call back past joys, and wari us into transport.” Thus ended our glorious Whig Convention, which will long be remembered as one of the most interresting ever witnessed in the State! May the harmony and enthusiasm of the occasion extend to our friends through. out the State and triumphant success is beyond the shadow of a doubt ! ! !—Ral. Register. THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. Salisbury, N. C. THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1850. OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOVER NOR It will be seen by reference to the pro- ceedings of the late Whig Convention, that Gov. Manly has been nominated for re-election. This result we were prepar. ed for. It has been quite clearly indica. ted for some time past that we could not do better. It remains now, for the Whig people of the State to sustain by their votes this nomination, or to submit to a defeat. A respectable number of them, we are aware, have been opposed to Mr. Manly. Now, however, since the contins uance of that opposition can accomplish no useful purpose, but, on the contrary, must operate directly against their friends and their party, it is but reasonable to hope that it will give way, at once; and that all will unite for the sake of our prin: ciples. For our part we now throw to the breeze our banner: For President in 1852, ZACHARY TAYLOR. For Governor, CHARLES MANLY. For the Senate in the next Legislature, J. A. LILLINGTON. For the Commons, H. C. JONES, A. H. CALDWELL. For Sheriff, CALEB KLUTTS. Now, there it is gentlemen. They are all good and true, honest and capable, and we can’t see as President Jefferson required no more of candidates than this, why we should. THE APPROACHING CONTEST. The time is approaching when the two great partiesof the country, the Whigsand Democrats, in this State especially, must again meet in a contest for the suprema- cy. Each one is preparing for the onset. Like a contest to decide the strength of physical force, in a field of battle, almost every thing is depending on unity of por- pose, and unity of effort. It is idle to doubt that this singleness of aim will not eharacterise, as it has ever done, the fore- esof the democracy. They stand togeth- eras one man. No subtlety, no outward or inward pressure of circumstances can break their unity; but an attraction as remarkable as the singular independence of their opponents, bind them firmly to gether. Well, we like independence, but it is as plain as the nose on a man’s face that the Whigs practice two much of it for their good. They run the thing to a0 extreme. Every man of them is two uch disposed to fight on his own hook. hen old Rough and Ready was nomi- ated for the Presidency a great many of them, although they would have fought! under his banner against Mexico, prefer- red Mr. Clay, and wouldn’t move a finge! to secure him. When Mr. Manly was brought out for Governor, some wanted Morehead, some Swain, others Stanly, Washington, Rayner, Joyner, Shepperd: &c.; and many of the friends of thes¢ gentlemen would not fight for their prin: ciples because they did not fancy their leader. And this is always the case with these Whigs. They have got it into their heads that their wishes most .have full consideration, and they are not to be coax: bosom on AR B O R S GK om e we e t into any course that their and judgment don’t 4Pp Z. As we said before, shing characteristic It is really commen- js not carried too far. If they would only leave & portion of their gelings and merely fancifal notions out of view, we think there is no party In the ! gniverse that could ever beat them. Let them sacrifice to their principles all mi- considerations and band together for be common good. If they would only | it fighting on their own hook. In uni- there is strength. For the sake of suc: cess. they should learn to compromise | more. Remember there is much truth in the maxim, “ united we stand, divided we » We do hope that the Whigs of the old North will this year try to pull toge- If they do, we will carry Legis- stare, Governor and all, with ease. rr tike this distingui f the Whig party. jable when it THE RAIL ROAD. We announced in our last that all the in the Central Rail Road had been tsken, and the five per cent paidin. Al- m, that there was to be a meeting of the holders in this Town on the llth of | Joly next, for the purpose of organizing | the Company. We refer the reader to an | oficial announcement of these facts, in another column. From the happy day that this great en- | terprize Was secured, the old North State began, in fact, to look up. We notice | that the security of the Central Rail Road has attracted the attention of our neigh- boring States. Let our citizens now nerve themselves for a vigorous prosecution of | the work they have undertaken. Let our | | farmers commence in time to make ready | for raising more bread than they can eat, more provender than they can feed, more | clothes than they can wear, and more fat | cattle than they can sell at present There will be other mouths to eat, other barns to fill, and other bodies to clothe, ag soon as this work has been fairly com- menced ; and the farmers will have the pleasure of doing it. Let the farmers wives set a few more hens, ducks and torkies, and see that their milch cows are kept in good order. For the time is not far distant, when, by good attention to_ these little matters, they will find it an easy thing to make as much money as their lords. Then huzza for the Rail Road, and buzza for the brave hearts who have taken it in hand. Huzza for our | State, and huzza forall who love and who | cherish her ! PLANK ROAD. There isto be a meeting at Lincolnton on the 22d inst. of delegates from the counties of Mecklenburg, Gaston, Lincoln, and Catawba, | for the purpose of making arrangements to com- mence and complete a Plank Road to run from | Newton, via Lincolnton and through Gaston | county to Charlotte. Public meetings on this | subject have been held in all the counties | named above, and a go-ahead spirit seems to hare taken hold of the people. | THE CUBAN AFFAIR. The reader need not be surprised if, something very serious grows out of the. invasion of Cuba by Lopez and his fol- | lowers. The Spanish Government in its | exultation over the defeat of that con-— temptible manceuvre, has probably gone tosuch an extreme in punishing Ameri- can citizens who have fallen into her | hands, whether guilty or not guilty of any violence against her peace, that our Go- vernment is called upon tointerfere. The American Consul at Havanna has been treated with marked disrespect—refused the privilege of seeing or communicating with American prisoners, and some of his letters to the heads of the Spanish Gov- ernment there, have been returned to him Unopened. Old Zack is not the man to saffer such indignities to our country, and if the Spanish Government don’t look out, they will be taught a lesson of good man- ners and justice. If the reports now in circulation be true, the relations between | the United States and that Government | are at this moment in a most critical con- dition ; and the greatest prudence on the part of Spain will be required to prevent | awar. Indeed, if these reports shall be | confirmed, which are that innocent Ame- | ricans have been put to death, and that without a fair trial, we cannot see how she is to atone for the offence without the shedding of more blood. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The Whig is slightly in error in its state- ment as it regards the Columbia and Charlotte Rail Road. ‘That work is not yet completed. We have heard that it may:yét require from one and a half to two years to get the cars to rua- niag (brough from end to end. 7 We have been requested to give notice to those who wish to attend the Masonic Celebration on next Monday, that the Presbyterian Charch bas heen select- ed for the oceasion ; and that she ceremonies will com- mence there at 11 o’clock A.

E, Green, (arrived in the Vixen at Annapolis from Port au Prince,) we learn that there is great excitement at Hayti as to anticipate difficulties between the black and white races. In the last battle between the races, in April, the whites though only 400 strong, were successful against 6000 blacks who had several pieces of artillery. But there is great danger of the ultimate annihilation of the Haytien whites, as both British and French are interfering in the contest, and taking the side of the blacks. The white population are under Santa Anna, at Hayti, and the black pop- ulation, under Solouque, at St. Domingo proper. The whites number some three or four hundred thousand, the blacks seven hundred thousand. PRESIDENCY OF G. F. COLLEGE. Rev. Charles F. Deems, of the N. C.

Ww M C Cn | C E J The arrest of Lopez called forth the follow. ing intemperate language, if it might not be characterized by a harsher name, from the Hornet’s Nest : “ The place to which condemned spirits are consigned, is too cool a place for a man who | would obey any such orders from any govern- ment. ‘The U. S. Marshal has not the first principle of humanity in his bosom, and is the fit tool of a government that would give such diabolical orders. “If this don’t arouse a spirit that will make men rush to the rescue of Lopez and the lib. erty of the Island, we shall despair of any hope for the continuance of republicanism. “Truly has our government become the ally of Tyrants and Despots. Who would have thought we were approaching such a disgrace- ful period in our history. “Gallant Lopez you and your cause have warm sympathizers in this country, among those who are left in it that appreciate valor and independence. ‘The citizens of Savannah exhibited the right sort of feeling on the occa- sion.” Can such language be sanctioned by our citizens? The character of North Carolini- ans has been that of law-loving and law-a- biding, and should they approve such language it will tarnish their good name. Hell is said to be “too cool” for an officer who is obeying the orders of his government. And our gov- ernnient is charged with being the “ally of Tyrants and Despots” because it is using its best endeavors to keep unimpaired the taith of Treaties.—Charlotte Journal. "EE EE Eee W. F.

His advantages in early life having been of a limited character, and be being de- sirous of rendering himself a happy and useful member of society, was found endeavoring to improve the means within his reach with remarkable assiduity. He was always at his post in the Sabbath School, where, by his amiable and correct deportment, he won thé esteem of those with whom he was associated. The deceased was residing with his uncle, Wm. Cranford. He has left a disconsolate mother and two sisters to mourn his loss, but we trust that this solemn dispensation of a mys- terious Previdence, wil! be sanctified to their good, and that that God who tempers the wind to the shorn Lamb will by his sustaining grace enable them to endare the pilgrimage of life, and at last afford them 2 resting place in Heaven.

Ebitor :—At a meeting of the citi- zens of Reading, called by a committee of Sons of Temperance and the Young Men’s Temperance Society to consider the deleterious effects of the rum and beer shops established in the town, the follow- ing preamble and resolutions were dis- eussed and unanimously adopted, viz ;— Whereas, lt is not only the right, but the duty of community to protect itself a- gainst the evil consequences of poverty, vice and crime ;—and whereas, those evils are engendered and fostered by the sale, and consequent use of intoxicating drinks of whatever name or nature :—and where- as, sueh drinks are’freely sold_in this vil- lage, therefore— Resolved, That we deeply deplore the existence of any men in our midst, who ate so degraded, and callous to all feelings of homanity. morality, or’common decen- cy, as to deliberately engage in a trafic of tntoxicating liquors. Resolved, That we regard it as the boun- den duty of every individual who lays claim to Christianity :—morality or re- spectable citizenship, to throw their in- fluence, morally, politically, and religi- ously against intemperance and the traf- fic in all drinks which tend to drunkenness. Resolved, That we regard the use of strong beer, ale, and cider, as the primary or initiatory step to drunkenness,—and that their use tends as directly to drunk- enfiess as does the use of rum or brandy. Resolved, That as the friends of order, morality and temperance, we will not countenance, uphold or patronize any per- son who is engaged in the traffic of intox- feating drinks ; but wiil use all lawful and honorable means to put a stop to such nefarious traffic. Resolved, That we deem it the duty of temperance men, to cause such articles to be inserted in the warrant, calling the gext annual town meeting, as will lead to some special action relative to the traffic, in intoxicating drinks. Voted, to choose a committee to carry the last resolution into effect. 4 SENSIBLE HORSE. ., We have heard of animals who by dint of long and careful training have been made to perform wonderful feats, but the Most wonderful of any which we hare lately beard of was performed by a cer- tain pony of this town on Friday last. The Jittle fellow had been ridden through the hot sun during the morning, and at dinner time was hitched in front of his master’s dwelling. Shortly after leaving him, the attention of the gentle- mao was altsacted by sundry beavy blows ‘ evidently struck upon the pummel! of the saddle, and on going out, he found the Jittle animal standing bare backed and furious efforts to disengage the vehi: Rous the saddle, which ih before him on the ground. He had slipped his head. shoulders, and fi thro the Sas (how, it is im- See lo gay) and the saddle was lying m the ground with the girth still buck- led,and the mortingale still attached to it. we do not think there is another instance ppea record of a horse unsaddling him- self without breaking a buckle or a strap. —— Commercial. a A Sensible Negro.—Sam, a negro man, belonging to Wm.

Indian Sensibility.—A traveller in the State of Muine is giving sketches of his way-faring, in an eastero paper. He lately visited an old Indian town, wherein he writes the following : We walked through the village until we came to the burying ground, surrounded by a wooden fence, painted black. A high wooden cross in the centre, and smaller crosses at the head of each grave, all painted black—tokens of sadness well fitted to ornament this last rest- ing place of the dwindling remnant of a once great and powerful nation, ‘ke Kennebec tribe, the last of the Abnequeas, bas now bé- come utterly extinct. ‘The last one of them, a man remarkable for his good character, re- ceived a grant of land from the State and fixed himself in a new township, where a number of white families were settled. ‘Though not ill-treated, yet the common prejudice against Iudians prevented any svmpathy with him.— This was shown of the death of his only child, when none of the people came near bim.— Shortly afterwards he went to some of the in- habitants and said to them: * When white man’s child dGie—Indian man be sorry—he help bury him: my child die—no one speak to me —I make his grave alone—I nocan live here.” He gave up his farn, dug up the body of his child, and carried it with him two bundred miles through the forest to join the Canada In- dians! Beneath all his coldness of exterior, the Indian may conceal a Warm and tender heart.” Commerce of the Western Rivers. In a document recently erdered by the United States Senate to be printed, it is said that the nett value of the commerce, of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and their tributaries for the year 1849, is esti- mated at $252. 233,820, and the value of | vessels employed therein is estimated at $18,661,500.

PRESIDENT, AND GENTLEMEN oF THE CoNvVENTION : In February 1848, when I was nominated by the Whig State Convention for the office of the Governor of the State, the honor was unsolici- ted and unexpected. Having passed the better part of my life un- ambitious of popular distinction ang public hon. | or, | was content lo remain the residue of my , . . . days in the quiet, unobtrusive devotion to my own affairs. The call that was made upon me was te. | As a par- | as recommending a withdrawal of the public sponded to with alacrity and pride. ty man I felt bound to accept the nomination Laying aside all other business, at great pecu niary sacrifice, and under circumstances of pe caliar embarassment and domestic affliction, I | devoted my best energies to the prosecution of | a protracted and arduous campaign. The re- | sult is known to you ; and although at first I felt | disappointed and mortified at the diminished majority by which I was elected, when com. | pared with the previous results, yet, when it | was ascertained that the lost votes were chiefly | in a few of the largest Whig Counties, I be. | came satisfied that the votes bad been withheld not with any nostility to me, but from that na- tural yet dangerousjapathy resulting from en. | tire confidence in success. | The brief period of my administration has not | heen exempt from trouble and responsibitity.— | In the discharge of my public duties, I have | heen unfairly assailed with a severity and coarse- ness heretofore unprecedented ; and while I anticipated nothing less at the hands of our po. | litical adversaries, | have been «unexpectedly, gnd I think ungenerously, wounded, in a few sections of the State by professing political friends. As the period approached for the as. sembling of this Convention, a tone of dissatis. | e | faction at the prospect of my renomination | arose in certain quarters, which induced me | from certain motives of self-respect and for the | promotion of harmony in our ranks to meditate | a peremptory withdrawal from the canvass.— | Upon consultation with some of my friends how. | ever, I determined to abandon that step, to bear | with what equanimity I could, the assaults that | might be made ; and to’ awail the action and the decision of this body. Under these cir. | cumstances and in view of what is past, my | unanimous renomination by this large and in- ielligent assembly of Whigs is the more highly | valued. | I accept your nomination, and endeavor to discharge the trusts which the obligation im. poses upon me. May [ not with entire confi. | dence expect a zealous and faithful performance | of the correlative duties which attach to this | body and to the Whigs of the State? The Whig party can, if they will, elect their | candidate for Governor. No sane man doubts | that. Their nominee cannot elect himself.— | Justice to all concerned demands a hearty and | zealous co-operation of every Whig voter. ‘Te | nominate their candidate, place their standard | in his hands and then not go to the polls and | vote for him; but by culpable indifference sub. | ject him to the mortification and themselves to | a shameful defeat, will be wholly indefensible. | Among the objections which have been urg- ed against my re-nomination was that of my central residence in the State—that I was orig- inally the nominee of a certain ‘central influ- ence.” Now, it is well known to every man who at- tended the last Whig Convention that my nom. | ination was brought about not by the delegates | from the centre, but by the concurrence of the | East and the West against the centre. This | however has been sufficiently explained by the | public press and I forearto reiterate and dwell | upon it here. | But why should the Whigs at the centre be contemned and cast aside? What evil have. they done? What reproach or injury have they brought upon the Whig party, during the long and perilous fight in which we have been en- gaged? In what quarter of the State have | Whigs devoted their time, their talents and their means in support of the cause more ardently | and freely than the Whigs atthe centre? But I believe that this narrow unfounded jealousy exists in the breasts of only a few ; that the in- justice of this denunciation has been generous. , ly vindicated and repelled by the great body of Whig voters ia every quarter of the State, and Coart orders charged | A liberal dedue- | in its organization and management. | _ Siete | BRUNER & JAMES, Editors & Proprietors. | ‘« KEEP A CHECK UPON ALL YOU Ruters. : Gen’l Harrison.

How is this great good to be attained? By 'a Jiberal and enlightnned system of Common Schools. I would by no means be understood patronage and favor from the Colleges and Academies in the State. Far from it. YetI here wish to urge and shall continue to do so on all suitable occasions the supreme necessi- ty of extending the fostering care of the Gov- ernment to our Primary Schools. and more thrifty class of our people can take care of themselves and can educate their children where they please. It is the poor and the less favored portion that need and rightfully demand the public help. What minds of intellectual wealth and power lie buried in the rubbish of penury and neglect! In traver. sing over many neglected regions of the State, where, shut out from commerce and ordinary business and means of acquiring property, the children inherit nothing but infancy and ignor- ance and penury, and when at the approach of _a stranger the little bare-footed, white-headed urchins are to be seen hiding and peeping a- round the corners of their humble dwellings— often have we mentally exclaimed, Alas! how many mute inglorious Miltons and Franklins are deemed to languish and die in the rude ob- scurity of the Quarry. The fund provided by the State for public in- | struction, although large and liberal, is yet in- adequate to the wants of our people. Our sys. tem of Common Schools is miserably deficient This is not the competent tribunal, however, for the correction of these errors, and [ will not detain you with an essay on the subject, but must has- ten on. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. As to Internal Improvements, I have ever been the steady advocate of a fair, practical and judicious system. Our State now seems to be every where aroused to the exigency of our wants, good trading towns and the means of cheap transportation to reach them. If the em- ployment of the poor, the encouragement of the industrious, and the comforts of all classes ot the community, be objects worthy of the care of a parental government. If to furnish the means of instruction to the indigent; to lay deep the foundation of republican government in the education of every free child within our bordors, however humble his origin, or desti- tute his condition. If we would stay the flood of emigration which is sweeping from us by thousands, the most adventurous of our youth and remove the necessity which compels them to abandon the home of their childhood and the grave of their fathers, to seek a living in some distant land which holds out rewards and in- ducements to enterprize and exertion. If we would bring the farmers and miners of the west, and the farmers of the interior, into ecom- munion with the merchants and mechanics of the sea board; and unite the dissevered parts of North Carolina into one brotherhood of in- terest and patriotism. If we would command for our honest old State that high station in the union she deserves to occupy—these great a- chievements can be accomplished in one way only. Internal Improvements have produced them in other States not more highly favored by nature, and can likewise produce them here. Let it not be said that we are too poor—that we have not the means—our very poverty has resulted from unrewarded labor, limited produc- tion, and languid trade, and furnishes the strong- est reason for our prosecuting the system with united energy. Great caution, however, should be used in checking visionary schemes; in wasting our strength by embarking at once into too many interprizes of a purely sectional character ; in over-tasking ourselves; and in incurring a | State debt that will be oppressive to the peo. ple, and which may induce bad men and dema- | gogues to reject and repudiate it. FREE SUFFRAGE. The wealthy | press in their published proceedings any dissat- isfaction whatever with the Constitution of the State. They selected him and nominated him, as the Whig party had chosen me, without regard to his opinions upon the Constitulion as it is.— It was not made known by the proceedings of tbe Convention, nor by the proceedings of any meeting great or small any where in the State, that either party desired to alter, or that the people were in any degree dissatisfied with. uring the progress of the campaign howev- er, the public ear was startled by new issues | whoily unanticipated by either party. The Democratic Candidate for Governor stepping on the platform of political faith erected by the Convention of that parfy, took his stand under a new banner inscribed withthe seductive mot- to of * Free Suffrage.” To the North Carolina politicians of that day the announcement was like a clap of thunder in aclear sky. The distracting questions un. der our old Constitution arising from taxation, representation and the right of voting which had so Jong disturbed our councils, divided our people into eastern and western fragments, marred the harmonious co-operation of the Leg- islature, and kept down the energy and pros- perity of our State, had been adjusted by an amendment of our Constitution. In a spirit of mutual accommodation the different sections of the State which had held opinions antagonisti- cal on these questions met together in Conven. tion in the year 1835, composed this dispute by a Compromise, gave to the west a prepon. derance in the law-making department of the government, and sat out hand in hand in a new career of arousing the energies of the State, and of stimulating and sustaining each other in the cordial and liberal support of a system of state policy which should enlighten, ennoble and enrich the every part of our good old com- monwealth. No wonder then when this chord was struck which again awoke to life and motion this fra- tricidal strife which the men of all parties had helped to bury, that our people on both sides were taken by surprise. Whence did it come ? In vain was it sought for inthe primary assem. blies of our people. They had not spoken nor moved in the matter. ‘The great lever of pub. lic opinion, the Press, had been silent. The Democratic Convention which had just been held had publicly recommended no such rule of action for the guidance of their nominee.— From what region then could it have pro- ceeded? It was conjectured that it smelt of the | channel house of the Washington City tactics and that it had been sent on ready.made to frighten the Whigs of this State from their pro- priety and to place them in a false position in the election of a Governor. What was con- jecture then, has, in part at least, become history now. It has been publicly asserted and admit- ted at Washington, I am told, that it was got- ten up and manufactured there and sent on for North Carolina use; quoted and signed and gloated over as the infallible Democratic thun- der; as thier patent exploding blunderbuss for demolishing every thing. And it was predic- ted with chuckling confidence that no Whig Candidate if placed within its range could stand up before the people in any state of the Union for ten days. Knowing full well the excitement, the sec- tional distarbance and the paralysing influence on the progress of our State in times past, caus- ed by the agitation of this question of constitu- tional reform: having no authority as the organ of the Whig party to declare their sentiments in regard to it, and neither opportunity nor time afforded during an ardent-contest to obtain their opinions; it became my steady aim and effort to shut out the topic; to exclude it from the canvass ; to warn my party friends to beware of such political trickery, and not to permit | themselves to be divided upon this new issue about amending the Constitution of the State —An issue which had not been mooted by the people: which did not claim to have sprung from either of the great political parties at home, but which had been imported from the grand national President-making mint and thrown in- to circulation among the eastern and western Whigs of North Carolina “to divide and con- Those schemers cared nothing about zealously enforced during the whole ‘pregress of the discussion that the calm and sober rea- son and judgment essential to the consideration ef a change in our organic fundamental. law did not and could not occupy the minds of the people engaged ina fierce political strife on other grounds. They knew full well that such questions of reform pertained exclusively to the legislative power and to the people in their sovereign cha. racter—that the Gover: or had no power to ad- just this measure: no voice to establish it, no veto to prevent it. ‘That his eleetion on the one side or the other would neither advance nor re- tard a single step the progress of such reforms. Unless by common consent the two political parties of the State shall agree to introduce this issue of a Constitutional reform into their divi- sions, how is it possible to test the popular will upon it by a Governor’s election? But we all know that this is a question which neither par- ty exclusively supports. In both parties men hold different opinions about it, as they have a right to do. ‘The people alone have the right and ought to retain the power of reforming their government, not through the unauthorised me- dium of their Governor, or of his election, but only by the Constitutional agency of their Rep- resentatives in the General Assembly. What real lover of the people’s rights, what honest patriot will not agree, no matter what may be his opinions of the alterations proposed, that above all other things Constitutional chang. es ought not to be made the test of party: nor the play things in mere party conflicts: neith- er the price of any one’s elevation, nor the re- ward of another’s overthrow. It is the Legislature and not the Governor, who are competent to enact laws for the legit- imate expression of this mighty voice of popu- lar sovereignty ; and it is now, as it was two years ago, a matter of little signification, what may be tne undivided opinion of the Governor, or of any candidate for that office. Do the people wish fo have a reform in their Constitution? Then they need only to require their Representatives to pass laws for taking the vote of the people. That process the Governor possesses no power, either to promote or prevent except it may be by the corrupt exercise of anin- fluence derived from his station. J] believe that the honest advocates of Free Suffrage do not wish to attain their object by official abuses of power; and that the honest opponents of all change in the Constitution can hardly expect to resist the pop- ular will by such ignoble means. Our Con- stitution is not perfect. No one pretends that it is or ever can be. But it is the glory of our free institutions that the people have a right to alter their organic law whenever time and ex- perience prove that amendments are wanting and the popular voice demand a change. In our Constitution this right is expressly provided for, and in my judgement it is no part of a Geov- ernor’s duty or rights, to make or propose new Constitutions for the People. It is undeniable that a large, intelligent and patriotic portion of the citizens of the State are now demanding some very important changes, in their Constitution. We see the evidences of this public sentiment not only in the popular meetings of both political parties, and in the public presses, but also in the vates of the last Assembly of this State and in the progress of similar opinions amongst the voters of almost every other State in the Union. ’ Whether those who desire a change consti- tute a majority or not may be readily ascertain. ed in the manner provided for by our Constitu- tion, that is to say, by an act of the General Assembly submitting these things to the peo- ple of the Polls. And I hold it to be the duty of their Representatives, as their Agents, to provide for the orderly and lawful expression of the public mind, whenever there is any well grounded belief that a settled discontent pre- vails against the constitution as it is. The peo- ple may be trusted I am sure to decide for them- selves in North Carolina, and at all events they have reserved that right in the existing Cousti- tution : and if such a law should be passed by the Legislature during my term of office, it shall be faithfully and fairly executed. In my view of the subject, it will be my du- ty to recommend to the approaching General Assembly. such legislation consistently with the Washington to Joha Quincy Adams inelusive had, in a period-of 32 years made: only about 130 removals, this proscription-hating, even- handed party in the first year of its career had ia progress within the Constitation; in wise redecessore of modern Demoeracy from legistation in aid of commerce, agriculture, manufacturing industry, science and the arts. We discard that sort. of progress that shall evade or over-ride any one of the obligations of the solemn political compact made ty our forefathers. As North Carolina Whigs we go for the maintenance of “ Southern Rights,” and Property as guaranteed by law; and against the machinations of abolition fanatics, dema- gogues and agitators. We claim the protec. tion and preservation of our rights under the Constitution as t# is. We invoke no aid from Assemblies nor Conventions of doultful pur- poses and designs; and of undefined powers ; Conventions arbitrarily andirregularly appoiot- ed and irresponsible to the people. We are for no bragging and bluster. When the remedies provided by our compact of union shall have been tried in vain, and the rights of the South shall be withheld or violated by the unjust and arbitrary force of despotic numbers, we will then inquire into the new mode and measure of redress with the spirit and the en- ergy necessary to vindicate and maintain them. Until that calamity shall arrive we are for that great legacy bequeathed to us by our Fa- thers, the UNION OF THE STATES. It is union that gives us wealth, prosperity, strength, security. It is on that strong arch the Temple of Liberty rests; we know of no other foundation on which the Dome of that Goddess can stand. We say with the eloquent and patriotic American Poet, “ Sail on, Oh Ship of State, Sail on, Oh Union! strong and great ! Humanity, with all its fears, With all the hope of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate. We know what master laid thy keel What workman wrought thy ribs of steel, Who made each mast, and sail, and rope, What anvils rang, what hammers beat, In what a forge and what a heat, Were shaped the anchors of thy hope.” God forbid that we shall ever encounter tbe fearful evil of overturning that for which our fathers lived, and for which the good and the great are all prepared to toil and to die. DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES. What are the principles of this Party 7— What have they professed? By what seduc- tive charm did they win the confidence of the People, and how did they redeem their pledges ? They set out with the one term Principle for the office of President of the United States.— That members of Congress should not be ap- pointed to office. For retrenchment and re. form in the expenditures of the Government, and for a fair distribution of public patronage, and against proscription. How were these pledges redeemed! Gen. Jackson declared upon his going into office that it was advisable to limit the service of Chief Magistrate to a single term of 4 or 6 years ; and argued “ that the adoption of the rule would tend to secure the independence of each De- partment of the Government and promote the healthful and equitable administration of the trusts which it created.” Long before the expiration of his first term, upon the importunity of letters written by bis friends of the Pennsylvania Legislature, he was again nominated by that body for re-election. His previous firm conviction of the great im- propriety of such course suddenly vanished.— A second term became at once a very proper thing. He accepted the nomination and that was the last we heard of carrying out the one term principle. Again; They argued before the people that Members of Congress should not be appointed to office during the term for which they were elected nor within two years thereafier—that they should be independent and should be plac- ed beyond the reach of Executive influence.— What was the practice? Why no sooner had their candidate reached the White House than he commenced appointing members of Con- gress to office. Five members of the Cabinet were taken from Congress and only one from the people atlarge. And the record of that day exhibits the very consistent fact of 23 mem. bers of Congress appointed to offices of vari- ous grades.

Men diamis- sed who were, in the language of one of their party, of the pureet virtue ; upon whose cha- racter no stain was ever fixed before ; justly regarded by all who knew them as eminently possessing honesty, capacity and Gdelity in their trusis. This flagrant abandonment of their pledges about proscription was pursued with uamitiga- ted rigor throughout the whole course of the preerations of Jackson, Van Buren and olk. Indeed so omnipotent had this rule of devo- tion to party and bestowal of office on parti- zans become, that even when our Country was engaged with a foreign fue, when party dis- tinctions should be buried, when Whigs no less than Democrats struck for the honor of our Flag and mingled their blood in one common stream in upholding the honor of the Republic, this cardinal rule of proscription was still para- mount. Ip the appointment of the officers for our Army in the Mexican War, some (wo or three General officers and a few subalterns were taken from the Whigs, while all the re- mainder, amounting to about 800 were taken from the Democracy. In this reckless violation of professions and falsification of promises you search in vain for Democratic principles. And although ia the definitions of modern Democracy, 1 will not employ the insulting language ueed by their own distinguished leader, that “they are held together by no principle, but the cohesive pow. er of public plunder,” * yet to what elee than unscrupulous and inordinate thirst for the spoils” can be ascribed their bitter and virulent sition to Gen. Taylor’s Administration? Ne sooner had he been installed into office than it was formally announced by the official Organ of Democracy, that no matter what aspect the future might wear, the policy of the President was to be opposed to the * bitter end.” With cause or without cause, his Adminis. tration wag te be broken down. Accordingly no matter what have been his measures they have been arraigned, condemned and stigma- tized as the offspring of folly or corruption.— Libels so gross, that they shocked the commen sense of the country: caricatures so extrava- gant, that they betrayed their malignity and falsehood on their face: vituperation coarse beyond all paralle! in partizan controversy :— base insinuations, bold falsehood, unsparing abuse, have been poured out without stint or forbearance upon the devoted head of the gal- lant Hero, whose only offence has been that of covering the Flag of his country with imper- ishable glory on the fields of carnage and of vietory, and of winning in a pacific, elective contest, the highest honors of a grateful people.

In all these conflicts, both foreign and domestic, General Taylor has borne himself as a man and a pat- riot. Standing now unmoved, as he did amidst the storm and thunder on the eventful field of Bu- ena Vista, when the flower and strength of his army were unjustly withdrawn from him, he was left with a handful of troops to be borne down and destroyed by the irresistible force of unequal numbers—self-poised by bis own in- domitable courage, and energy and decision, he falters neither to the right hand nor to the left, but now as then, strikes for bis country; his whole country.

Idesire to-day to address myself to Whigs; | to take a brief retrospect of the past ; to recall the propbetic admonitions of Whig policy and Whig councils, and to congratulate this assem- bly on the patriotic and national conservatism af Whig principles. Before doing so, however, I deem this an apt occasion for making a few remarks on cer- tain topics of State policy which are agitating the public mind. I allude particularly to the subjects of Popular Education, Internal Im. provements, and an amendment of the Consti- lution in relation to what is called, ‘ Free Suf. frage.” THE EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE. The structure of our Government, resting not on high walled battlements and towers, but in the moral force, the affections and hearts of our | the abuse of the veto power by the president mountains, people, can only be preserved in strength and purity by a liberal system of popular education.

The two parties we all recollect nominated their candidates without respect to “ Free Suffrage,” and both their Conventions forbore to express any opin- ions favorable ar unfavorable to Constitutional | reforms of any kind. | Are you a Whig—are you a Democrat — That was the question. | Tbe administration of the government by | Mr. Polk ; the settlement of the Oregon dispute | with Great Britain; the origin of the Mexican war and the manner of its prosecution; the wrongs practised by the administration towards | the illustrious Generals of our gallant army | when fighting the battles of their country ; the _ dangers to be apprehended to the safety of the | { | Republic from extending our borders by con- | quest and the perils to which it must expose ‘the southern institutions in particular ; the pos- | sible overthrow and ruin of the Union itself to | bring into it the large Territories of New Mex- | ico and California by the aid of the sword, with ‘out some friendly compromise of opinion among ‘ourselves upon the subject of negro slavery ; _and the proscription of the whig party by the administration, so as to exclude them like ali. | ens and enemies from the stations of honor and | profit in a common country ; these constituted the leading topics of discussion and formed the | basis of our party divisions. The Candidate of our opponents was brought ‘The Democratic Convention saw fit nol to ex- | nigh, some of these political Necromancers in | oe : Goninon Teer eee eee more important | Brothers, who hare braved the « battle and the triumph in November.

Let us maintain our adhesion as members of the great conservative Whig Party upon national grounds. WHIG PRINCIPLES, ‘solemn council were calculating chances, and | urging the probability of their carrying this | State for Gen.

All this too while the amount of labor and the amount of revenue collected re- mained about the same. Again: The Democracy when soliciting the | reins of the Government commended them- selves to the favorable regard of the people by their loud denunciation of the proscriptive policy. They held up their hands with holy horror at the change made hy Mr. Clay when Secretary of State of some few Printers of the laws. ‘The people were told by this new sect that In every situation party and party feelings should be avoided. ‘That the monster called Party Spirit should be exterminated, That patriotism, talents and integrity should be the fore united by the strongest ties of historic re- collections of the past and bright hopes for the future : a people united in the same fraternal bond of kindrad and affection and interest. A crisis in uur hirtory resulting from the acquisi- tion of vast regions of territory purchased most dearly by a@ lavish effusion of the blood and treasure of the country, which was foretold by the Whigs as with prophetic vision: againat the consummation of which their best energies have been unceasingly directed—a portentous disaster for which the Whig party is in no sort responsible. A crisis so threatening and alarm. ing that it becomes the imperative duty of those in power in our national assembly to calm the agitation and fears of our people. The sectional struggle in which our country is now engaged, and which has been brought upon us by the malrersation of Mr. Polk’s ad- ministration, involves not our own alone, but the destiny of civil liberty throughout the earth. The contest must be made to terminate. Pub. lic sentiment demands of Congress to settle it. The path of safety and reform can, in my colemn opinion, alone be found in the moderate counsels, the conciliating policy, and conserva. tive principles of the Whig party. Let us then, as a band of brothers, uphold that party. Burying all minor or local jealousies, letos stand shoulder to shoulder together to maintaja that party. In union is our strength. Let us then, my friends, emblazon upon our shields the principles of Whigs. Inscribe up- on the sacred fulds of our ensign, the talisman: ie motto of our Order.

Yet the {ndian is rare- ly, if ever, at faut. ‘Fhe reason is, that he has schooled his sense into unerring habits of nice and aceurate observation. His success in war and bunting, his life, and safety of his tribe, de- pend upon his coirectness of observation of those minute signs. Now ean any one doubt that habits of patient | and accurate observation, such as the savage | exhibits, would be of incalculable value if ht to bear upon ail the minute details of | business life? Or can it be doubted that hab. | its-of negligence and inattention in regard to | the minutz of business, will prove detrimental if not fatal?

So when a man in any department of business has once made | it the habit of his life to watch closely and mi- nutely all that bears upon and relates to his business operations, it becomes a pleasurable excitemem instead of a laborious effort. We hardly ever knew a man who had formed hab. its of nice and detailed order, who did not make them a hobby which he delighted to ride as much as any child his New Year’s present.— The reason is, tha' when once habits of any kind, and especeally those which we know and feel are imporiayt and valuable, have been formed, we take pleasure in acting conforma. bly thereto, ‘The ease of Bulwer, the great novelist, is sometimes quoied as illustrative of the advan. tage of babiis of order, Bemtley’s Miscellany says he worked his way to eminence, worked it through failure, through ridicule. His facil- ity is wonderful, but it is only the result of prac- tiee, study, babit. He wrote at first slowly and with great difficulty, but he resolved to master the stubborn instrument of thought, and he did master it. He has practiced writing as an art, and hag re-written some of his essays unpublished nine or ten times over. He only works about three hours a day, from ten in the morning till one—seldom later.

The Masonic Celebration which came off on the 24th in honor of the Patron Saint of the Fraternity, St. John the Bap- tist, was one of the most brilliant and in- teresting displays we have ever witness- ed in Salisbury. Brethren of the Order poured in from almost every direction, bringing with them their wivesand daugh- ters, and young ladies who had been tick- eted to the Banquet in the evening, which was most handsomely designed and exe- cated, as the crowning glory of the occa- sion. The Hotels were completely throng- ed, and our streets presented the appear- ance of Broadway on some sweet May day. The ceremonies commenced at 11 o- clock, A. M. At that hour the procession under the conduct of Col. Hyatt of Greens- boro’ William Davidson, of Mecklenburg, Dr. K. P. Harris, of Cabarrus, and Dr. Hand James, of Salisbury, Marshalls of the day, moved from their splendid Hall in the Court House, through several streets to the Presbyterian Church. All the seats appropriated to use of spectators were completely jammed. There were at least two hundred and thirty ladies present, and asmanyormoregentlemen. Including the _ Masonic gentlemen, of whom there were one hundred and twenty-four in the pro- cession, there could not have been less than four hundred and ninety, or five hun- dred persons in the Church. The ceremonies at the Church were opened by the singing of a beautiful and appropriate how it may best be done.

This was followed with Prayer by the Rev. | Thales MeDonald; which was pronounced in | a clear and eloquent tone of voice. Then came another Ode : “ Hail! mysterious glorious science !

The Ladies : Though not present at our dinner they are in our hearts. 5. The mémory of illustrious Masons, Wash- ington and Monroe, Jacksonand Polk ; Though gone from us they are stitl with us, for by their virtues which are treasured in the hearts of the Fraternity, they survive the grave and still exist. 6th.

Thigt@nfortunat man, most€old bigoded Marder, and | to death mt opr last May Term, was cxe: cuted on. y the 2]st instant, in the presence of a very large assembly, com- posed of.pet from many of the sur- réunding counties. The offence for which ie s* ‘he paid the penalty of his life, was com- mitted in Cabarrus county, more than two years ago, on the body of a man named George Linker. Dove was apparently sixty or sixty-five years of age. He had lived with the wife of his youth, only a few sears, by whom he had two chil- dren. These were sons—now young men, —and were present on the awfally.solemn occasion of Friday Jast ;.and as ‘at: other times since their father's ‘arrest, evinced by copious tears how deeply they felt the weight of his affliction, his shame and disgrace, and the unhappy consequences of that parent’s conduct on their future prospects. At anearly period Jacob Dove parted with his wife, and permitted his affections to fasten upon a base woman in his neighborhood. An improper inter- course for some twenty years existed be- tween them. She bore him other children. By-and-byea quarrel ensued between him and his paramour in guilt—their dis- house. Dove was displeased with this 5 and, as the story goes, resolved, on pre- venting the marriage, even at the cost of | Linker’s life. It was shown, in evidence against him, that he had threatened to kill Linker if he continued to visit the | house. A few days before the marriage | was to take place, Linker was killed— | shot with a ball through the head—whilst | returning from a visit to the bouse of his | intended bride—the worthless woman. who had formerly cohabited with Dove. It was proven that Dove was twice seen not far from the place of the murder, a short time before and a short time after | the deed was supposed to have been com- mitted. The first time, in the lock of a fence ; the second time, retreating across the field ; and at both times carrying his gun. Many other circumstances of more or less importance were brought out in the examination, all tending to brand him as the murderer. But with these we will not now trouble the reader. Enough has been told, we trust, to show the causes out of which the crime sprung, and to convey some idea of the manner of its perpetration. Exch one can make his own reflections on the case. Yet how vi- vidly the warnings of Solomon are brought to mind—“ her fcet godown todeath; her steps take hold on hell.” Should not this awful confirmation of holy writ warn ma- ny a young man betimes to fly for his life? Of the condemned prisoner’s spiritual state on the day of his execution, as also on a few days previous to that, we do not feel authorised to express an opin- hand in, or knowledge of, the murder; and was swung off with that declaration upon his lips. It is believed he never final- | ly relinquished all hope of a pardon from | the Governor ; though he repeatedly ex. | pressed his willingness to die, to several. Clerical gentlemen who visited him with | the view of aiding and directing him in. his preparation foreternity. Totheseheex- | pressed a hope of regeneration and accept- | ance; whilst to only a part of them had, he exhibited satisfactory evidence of that | true penitence which the spirit convicted | of sin must feel before the dawning of a | well grounded hope of salvation. | On the whole, the prisoner was a re- ers; but we find their brightness fades away upon our touch.

The Seventh annual Session of the Sons of Temperance convened in Boston, on Tuesday the llthofJune. There was a very large attendance. On looking over the list we find 27 States represented, besides West Canada and Nova Scotia. From North Carolina we notice the names of James H. Enniss, Samuet G. Smith and David O. Wier. A. M. Gormon of Raleigh, served as one of the Most Worthy Scribes. In the same paper from which the fore- going is gathered, there is a spirited de- scription of the fourth National Jubilee of the Sons of Temperance. It was a very animated Celebration. There were reck- oned to be from four to six thousand “Sons” jn the procession. George Linker engaged himself to marty | the woman, and was occasionally at the | to Citizen . nd tnve lov. A. Baxer. The Inangural address of Professor Monean-es Prin- cipal of the new Institution. : It will be temembered that the 4th of July has been designated as the day for the Inauguration of Professor Morgan as the Principal of this Institution. The above notice snows the hour for the commencement, and the | order, of the ceremonies. ‘This occasion is looked for- | ward to with considerable interest by a large portion of the community, as the day on which a mueh cherished scheme is to be set in full operation. We predict there will be a large attendance of its friends and citizeus generally. THE UNITED STATES AND SPAIN. Notwithstanding the contrary reports of the various letter-writers and newsmongers about this city, which we see published in the Eas. tern papers within the last day or two, we learn, says the National Intelligencer of Mon- day, with much gratification, that there is no- thing in the aspect of affairs between this Go- verninent and that of Spain to warrant the ap- prehension of a rupture between them at this time. The Cuba expedition has been a god. /er and more interesting information, and they have made the most of it. | ofien seized upon by these gentlemen, in. the | Streets and hotels in this city, and he is gener- ally considered but a sorry correspondent who /cannot occasionally communicate something | more novel and exciting than his contempora- ries. <A story will start from Willard’s Hotel, graceful relations were also broken at one end of the avenue, and, before it arrives up. About this time the unfortunate a the National, it will beat the “three black ; | crows.” The Government has no knowledge of any torture or death inflicted upon the Contoy pris- oners, as reported in letters thus dispatched from this city, and we trust that in a few days the communications with Cuba will put an end to the rumors. But whatnext? Why, in less than a week after the present alarming appre- hensions have been quieted, something else will be seized upon for letter-writing capital, and to satisfy the demand for fresh excitement. But to address ourselves more directly to the alarming statements transmitted from this city in Washington correspondence during the last week, we fee] authorized to say, that, from the just and amicable temper of the Spanish Min. ister near this Government, and the prudent ad- vice which it may be presumed that he has given to the younger.and probably more im. pulsive Governor-General of Cuba—as well as from the unequivocal language addressed to him by our Secretary of State, through our Con. sul, Gen. Campbell—there is no reason to an. ticipate any harm to the men who embarked from the island of Contoy, and were captoredé by the Spanish cruisers, and carried into Ha- vana. ‘These men (though the Creole marau- ders were recruited in part from among them) committed ne act of hostility against Cuba, nor is there any sufficient proof that they designed any, but the contrary; and therefore, thous h they had sailed from a foreign port, and not from the United States, when they were cap. tured, yet being known to be in part at least American citizens, it is the duty of our Govern. ment to extend its protection (o them, and avert or punish any harm to life or limb. The Spaniards of Cuba have, it is true, rea- son to feel deeply agrieved. A lawless ban. ditti has landed on their peaceful shores in the dead of night, burnt their houses, murdered their people, and escaped by hasty flight to the United States ; and had they captured and ex. ecuted every one of the invaders, no one could have jusily complained. But, in their indigna. tion against these visitors of law and humani- ty, the Cabans must take care not to confound the innocent with the guilty, and bring down | on their own heads the penalty of offended jus. tice. FASHION AMONG THE FRENCH. There is no civilized nation with more vani.- ty or natural coquetry than the French, and the ladies would no more think of wearing a dress, or a cape or a head dress which was not becoming to them, than they would think of taking a December bath in the Seine because _ somebody else was simple enough to do it. At a large ball or soiree, like that of the President’s last week, you will see every possible variet of color and make in dress. A fashionadle la- dy here, studies her complexion, her form, her style of beauty, even the shape of her head and the cut of her features, and her good logkts to disfigure herself by wearing an unbecoming ar. licle of dress merely because the fashion book says that ‘nothing else is worn.” For in- stance, a brunette would no’ sooner wear blue or yellow, than a blonde would wear a scar: let or bottle green. A lady with a scrawny neck and arms will not, because her mode. book saye she must, display her misfortune to all the world: bywearing a very low dress and very short sleeves; neither will a tall woman | dress her hair iva pyramid on top.of her head nor a short one bring her’s all round at the sides. awe Extraordinary Marriage.—A Mr. Hopkins, of Lownds county, Miss., aged 66, recently mar- ried a Miss Matthews, aged about.35. What renders this alliance so extraordinary is, that both parties are so afflicted with the rheumatism, that neither has walked a step in (wenty-five years, and the bride is unable to dress or undress herself. ‘The reason assigned by Mr. Hopkins for marrying Miss Matthews is, “ that some two years ago he married a wo- man that could walk and she ran off with a stage driver, and be wanteda wile that he was certain couldn’t go off.” New Coins.—The United States Mint. at Philadelphia have issued specimens of the new three cent piece, composed three- fourths silver and one of copper ; also the new one cent, containing a small propor- tion of silver. Tie cent weighs 25 grains and has a circular-hole inthe centre.— The Spanish coins now in circalation will be received at the mint at their current value in exchange for the new coins, so as to induce a rapid and general reeoin- age.—N.

Under this eaption the Savanah « Gees, gian” of Tuesday bas the following : “ The steamer Gaston, Capt.

They have traly enjoyed the remance of the expedition to its full ex. tent.

Their homes are in Ken. tucky and Ohio, to which they are making their way. They wish work to enable them to obtain the means to travel. There are several mechanics among them.— We trust they will find employment a. mong our citizens.” PAINE’S HYDRO-ELECTRIC LIGHT. Our Readers have seen in this paper notices of this newly discovered method of producing light and heat. The follow. ing is extracted from the Baltimore Sun: “A contract has been made in New York to light and heat the Astor House by the apparatus invented by H. M. Paine, which has been alluded to before in the public prints. Water is the only element employed to obtain light, heat and motive power. It is stated, too, that a company has been formed in New York to pur. chase the patent right at some millions of dollars, (half a million cash,) and the old gas companies are about to knock under. Rather a wonderful story but not more wonderfal than the invention itself. if it turns out to be anything like what it is avered of it. Should the averments be realized, the greatest revolution of this XIX Century is yet to be witnessed.” THE PRISONERS AT HAVANA DISCHARGED. A Telegraph despatch from New Or. leans, dated on Saturday last, says: “We have received intelligence from Havana as late as the 10th instant, and are happy to state that the Spanish Gov- _| ernment has yielded to the representation of our Consul, aided by other American authorities, and, after passing ugh the forms of a trial, has liberated the Ameri- can prisoners, who weee free to return to the United States. ” Thus is removed all grounds for appre: hending, any difficulty with Spain on ac- count of these. prisoners.— Nat.

To-day, it will pass the Senate, but fail in the House ; to morrow, it will pass neither body, and the next day, it will go through both “like shot out of a shovel.” As an evi- dence of the contrariety of opinion exist- ing at Washington, we take extracts from two letters of the same date, appearing in the same column of the Baltimore Sun. One says: Mr. Clay seems also in despair of ob- taining a decision upon the adjustment bill. He looks jaded, and begins to show impatience. Two days have been wasted in fruitless discussion of amendments. aud half a score of amendments are threat- ened.

The difference between distillation and fermentation is, that by the application the brewer. Fermentation is necessary to precede fistillation, otherwise there would be no Sohal to ex- tract. In wines and beer you have a portioa of the grape, or the neat hold in solution, bat in ardent spirits, you have nothing but alcohol and water. Gin, rum, brandy, whiskey, &c., when pure are noth- ing but alcoho! and water; and the fiery spirit in each of them is obtained by heat and fermentation, from va- Pious sachanne substances. But in geither of these is there the least particle of nourishment. It is the aim of the distiller to convert every atom of the substance he distils into spirit. ing any thing in the form of food for the stomach of his acs An inflammatory, stimulating, poisonous: li- is all that he uces, and to obtain this, he de- sttoge- millions of bushels of wholesome grain. , AW rl-BACHUS. - Sons of Temperance.—D.

Those who have lost their teeth, have sacrificed the luxuries of the table. Those who prefer a * pocket full of rocks” to a fine set of teeth, possess no enviable taste. . Those who have lost their teeth, have lost one of the leading pleasures of life. Those who are in possession of good teeth, seldom appreciate them. Those who desire to be Old Maids, and Old Bachelors, will have no trouble in gra- tifying their ambition, providing they sub- mit to a loss of theirteeth. If-they desire to disappointment. with the attentions of young gentlemen, can be immediately and finally emancipa- ted, by allowing their teeth to become de- cayed or filthy. Those widows who are vexed with the frequent visits and importunities of wid- owers, can obtain permanent and sudden relief, by removing their artificial teeth. The courtplaster that changed its loca- tion from the lips of a young lady to those of a young gentleman in the tunnel of a railroad, would never have so changed, had not they both been blessed with good teeth. POWERFUL REASONING. At a young men’s debating society some. where in Indiana, the question for discussion was, ‘ Which ia the greatest evil, a scolding wite or a smoking chimney.” Afier the ap- pointed disputants had concluded the debate, a spectator rose ane begged the privilege of ma- king a few remarks on the occasion. Per. - mission being granted, he delivered himself in this way: ‘Mr. President I’ve been almost mad a listening to the debate of these ere youngsters. ‘They don’t know nothing at all about the subject. What do they know about the evils of a scolding wife?) Wait till they’ve had one for twenty years,-and been hammered and slammed all the time, and wai: ti! they’ve been scolded because the baby cried, becayse the fire would’nt burn, because the oven was two hot, because the cow kicked over the milk, because it rained, because the sun shined, be- cause the henge did’nt lay, because butter would not come, because the old cat had kittens, be- cause they came too soon to dinner, because they was one minute too late, because they did any thing else, no matter whether they could help it or not,—before they talk about the evils of a scolding wife; why Mr. President, I'd rather hear the clatter of hammers and stones on twenty tin pans and nine brass ket- tles, than a scolding wife. Yes sir-ree, I would; to my mind, Mr. President, a smoky chimney is no more to be compared to a scolding wife, than a little nigger is to a dark night.” LONG AND SHORT DAYS. At Berlin and London the longest day has sixteen hours and a half; at Stockholm the longest day has 184 hours ; at Hamburg the | longest day has seventeen hours, and the short. est seven; at St. Petersburgh the longest day has nineteen,and the shortest five hours; at ‘Tornea, in Finland, the longest day has twen. ty-one hours and a half, and the shortest two hours and a half; at Wanderbus, in Norway, the day lasts from the 21st of May, tothe 23d of July, without interruption ; and at Spitsbergen, | the longest day is three months and a half.
