I make me the happiest of men ; but the next time I met her, a cool nod, an indifferent glance, threw down all my castles. She was very cautious. Not wotd did she drop to n,ke mt believe that abe loved me; and yet her hand would liuger in mine, ber co- ,ur " 1 iu" my iteiings, im uci eally, and in the next sentence wouia add, " I never did love, but if I ahould take a faney to anybody, 1 should lore him like like a house afire."

But we welcome you, not merely in your official character, but a. Mr. Buchanan and a citizen of Pennsylva nia. It wa. somewhat romarkable, air, that the two States so distant from each other ebould be so intimately eonuccted and blended iu their history. The greatest of Pennaylra uian. and, with a tingle exception, the great est of Americana, smote the rock of Ply mouth with an elcctrie wind, aud the wa ters of the river gunhed forth for the heal ing of the nations. North Caroliui wa. originally settled, to a very great extent by emigrant from Penn syh ania. As early as 16;6 William Penn, in a letter to a confidential friend, rtato. tbat 6ftcen thousand of tho most substantial ci tizens of Peonsylvaaia were about to seek a home in the v.'ildarness of Carolina.

Whether you regard the num ber of oombatants or the cumber that was killed, the affair at Lexingtoo in April, 1, 775, was less imposing in circumstances. The great chief of the Regulators, Herman Husband, is understood to have been a re lative of Benjamin Franklin, to have pos sessed bis confidence, and to have been hi. confidential agent. The great body of the Regulators retreated successfully frM tb. battle and found a safe retreat in th. wild gorges of the Alleghanies, and wreaked am ple vengeance for their wrongs in the bat tle of King's Mountain, on luo'tb October, 1780. The defeat of Major Ferguson was the binge on which the war in the South, if not upon tbe continent, turned, if Ferguson had not fallen, the bittle of Guilford would not have been fought nor would the Revo lution have closed at Y'orktovrn. Alamance was the initir.1, King'a Mountain the deci sive and tiuilfnrd the closing battle of the Revolution. York town was a .iege.
