— i the Rev, James M. Thomas;—after which, Dr.
Cn.\RLr..s ,T. Fox read the national Declaration of
Independence, prefacing it with a .^e\v appropriate
and patriotic remarks. Mr. F. II, McDowell
then rose and delighted the audience in an address
of about thirty minutes in length. Of this address
we have heard but one opinion expressed—that it was
a production marked by the highest order of genius
and classical cultivation—appropriate, chaste, and
eloquent. Few men in a single effort, have so cap
tivated public opinion. Mr, McD. is dc'Stined ere
long to shine forth to the world as among the bright
est intellectual stars of his cotmtry, if education, tal
ents, and eloquence in public speaking can make
him such.
After the address, the benediction by the Rev
r,f|Mr, Pritchard. 4’he proccssion was then redi>rm-
ed, and returned to the Courthouse in the order in
which it came down. Before leaving the Church,
the Marshal of the day gave notice that after the
proces.^ion was dismissed, the company would par
take of a public dinner provided for the occasion by
Mr. IIi GHE.s of the Mansion House, of v.-hich the
I.adies, oneand all. were respectfully invited to par
take. At the appointed time, the large dining room
of Mr. Hughes was filled lo overflowing. About
,-ixtv Ladies sat down, and as many gentlemen as
! could crowd around the tables. ]3r, Stephen Fox
Bott.5, one of the Fcilerai leaders in
Cijjigress. has written a letter to a parcel of Feder
alists in New York, :n which he abuses Mr. Tyler
in the most approved style of modern Whig decen-
cy. He also opens up a j)lot the Whig leaders have
on foot at Washington to impoachXhc President, be-
riuse he has vetoed some of their wicked measures.
It is thought not at all improbable that they will im-
jieach Mr. T., and by that means suspend for a
while his othcial functions, until Mr. Mangura can
sign such measures as they may wish to pass. Can
ihese desperate men have the audacity to attempt
such an outrage 1—will exclaim the people. ^ es,
v.’c believe they are prepared to do any *hing to ac
complish their de.signs ; but they cannot succeed,
the people will put them down.

The Manda'ians Act.—This Federal babe is an
abortion: it is dead before it is born. The condi
tional approval of Mr. I’vi.nu. and the action of tho
New Hampshire and Pennsylvania Legislatures,
have deprived it of all life, and most righteously;
for it watj a most gratuitous and unconstitutional in
terference with the domet^tic atiair.-; of the States.
The New IIani]»shire Legi.slature condemned it al
most imanitnously, and v. ill proceed to elect mem-
bero by general ticket. The Pennsylvania Legisla
ture, the moment it met, pas.'cd resolutions against it
in the Hou.se of Ixepreseiilatives ; and although that
great State will still continue the di;>tricl system, it
will be with n protcstando against the mandan'iUS,
and a declaration in favor oi' lier own will and plea-
.sure. he Oovemor oi Cieorgi;i wiii not call tho

ing law—bo'Ji parties thereby repudiating tho man

In Missouri. the?Deniocracy have nominated a lull
ticket under theexij^ting law, and will liold their elec
tion in August. Thus iar, every Democratic State
which h;is had an opportunity oV siiowing its .senti
ments, ha.s repu(iiat(id the mandamus; and it may
now be considered a dead letter on the stii.tute book,
to be expunged at the firt^t session of the first Con
gress under tiie last census. Even without Mr. Ty-
ler*.s conditional approval, it was a nullity: with that,
it is dead. Everybody knows thnt the President"ts
signature is neces.'^ary to the validity of an act of
Congres-s ; (save thor^e which arc passed by Iwo-
thirds:) and in this case, the signature is given
with a prori!^:) which kills the actT The President,
in the paper olliciaiiy filed with the act in the De
partment ol State, declares that he only signs it as
an advisory act—as an net adrisint^ the'States to di
strict themselves. Thus, as an obligatory law, ho
has refused to sign it: and as j’or the advice, it itj
gratuitous, unasked, .and uncalled for ; and will find

NORTH CAROLINA.
A friend, in sending us the names of several new
subscribers from Cherokee county, North Carolina,
gives us the following good news from that part of
the old North State ;
“ You will remember that there were only a little
upwards of a hundred votes given to Mr. Van Bu
len in this county at the last Presidential election,
out of a voting population of about 600; but I assure
you there is a revolution going on here as well as
m all other parts of the Union, The Democrats
are sanguine of being able at least to tie their oppo
nents in the ensuing Governor’s election.”
This is good news, but it is no more than wc ex
pected. The people of Cherokee county are deep
ly interested in the defeat of Gov, Morehead. Like
all new seuled counties, in the Cherokee country,
many of her people are indebted to the State for the
lands on which they live, and the policy advocated
by Gov. Morehead and his brother, who is a Senator
in the State Legislature, of immediately collecting
the land debt of the State, and turning it into Bank
stock to be loaned to a railroad company, would be
the utter ruin of many of her citizens. We shall
expect to hear a good account, from all that part of
North Cirolina included within the limits of the old
Cherokee country, after the election.
In addition to the above, we have the followmg
intelligence from North Carolina in the Lynchburg
Republican “ All our accounts from this State are |
cheering. Our friends are sanguine of securing a »
majority in the next Legislature, and equally as | J\ ,oj. v/hich ca:ih will be \
sanguine of defeating Morehead for Governor.— tho Editor of the Jellersouian.
Many honest voters of North Carolina were induced | July 12, IS Pi.
to act with the federalists two years ago, in conso-'
quence of promises made them hy Morehead, Bad
ger, Fidney. and company, not one of which has been
