' ' Looking 6nt at the Northern meetings, and thf n at the Western ones, the difference be- twfrtj tlie two is striking. The temner of the wrsteru cieeting is calm, snlste and re olutc , Tlieir jx'etling ar practical and bsiie like. Tl actors in them go to work like men who understand what theyarc about. Tlie rkirtheni" meetmg sltow the eff- rvesceuce of-giddy p.vion. They show the chiractr of. tlie North whirli has so many solid fea Lares on its hair brained side. Wc are sat ts5cd that but frw among the reallv substan tial raeo of the Nortli countenaice tbis emi- gratioa excitement there. The resolutions and ontgivings of the agitators convince us that they do not comprehend the work tbey hve taken in Load. They are at any rate unwise in raising the excitement thv have, and in making the proclamation i and vaunt they nave of what they intend to do. " Had they proceeded more quietly and rationally, tl:ir chances of success would have been greatly improved. If the North is really per vaded by a, strong dctire to make Kansas free oil, she needs not the stimulants to emiga-tic-n there which these agitators are applying. lXcmlcr meeting, high iced resolutions, ha rangues not always free from froth, cannot be necessary. V The excitement occasioned by such pro ceedings is no less injudicious than unnecessa ry. Such boasts as that slavery shall never desccraU the virgin plains of Kansas, if the strong arms of Northern freemen can pre vent," saying nothing about the taste which conceives them, are foolish and impolitic. By the men at whom they are levelled they will be at least treated with contempt as boyish boasts. The exhibition of the animus which prompts such threats and which pervades the proceedings of the Northern agitators, must serve to strengthen any resolutions which may hare been j taken by slavery tnen to assert their rights to slavo property in Kansas. W hare already alluded to the possible con sequence of the excitement so injudiciously -: .-. j.- . . . r r -. 7 . . . . . . . . - , . . . set on foot at the North. Serious feuds mav 'be expected to grow out of the ill blood it is to fast engendering. Apprehensions of such feuds may well dettr familiea at the Northt who would form the valuable . portion of any emigration, from venturing into the territory. Instead of . such, the emigration of the North will be composed of hair-brained young men, who, when they get inta Kansas, will find it zXZ quite all their fancy painted it, and who will d'acorer that it ia much -easier to applaud intemperate harangue in Worcester than to carry out the recommendations of those ha rangues io Kansas! The ilaveholder and his .friends are now piqued and proroied into a determination to promote slavery Ia Kansas. t. ;i .. . : . ! - : r A aiTlTTO7TTr . Til 1TTFT1a" Ml: . . h r-H . :. :. M , LAV W ::.

" From the Washington Union. rt Letter From Hon. T. Lt. Clingr man, orrSorlh Carolina. . UorsE- or RsrarstNTXTiTts, - inly ifsfVr To the Editor cf lie Union: Sim I regret extremely that I am under the necessity of asking you to gtve place to a matter that cannot be of interest to many per sons outside the State of. North Carolina. 1 do so, however, t.ot only because the letter to which it is a reply doe great injustice to one of my constituents but is also intended fo have an effect on the coming election in our State. 1 The period of that election is so near at hand, that I fear that if I were to send this note to one of the papers in the State it might not bo published in time to reach all tiartaof it nnor to the election, ror a :onr 1 -' while past my friends and I have been assailed with'an industry and violence equalled only by the 'malice and mendacity of the charges made. What gie particular virulence to the assaults of my enemies at this time-i the consciousness on their part, that an over whelming defeat is staring them in the face and hence their rage and mortification seem unbounded. Tlie letter which I propose to refute appears in the Fayetteville Observer of the 10th inst, in an article the material portion of which is as follows: Perliaps the mendacity of Edney has al ready been made sufficiently apparent by his owu testimony. But the following letter, from the Secretary of State, under Mr. Fillmore, which we received by this morning's mail, is neceary to expose another important mis statement contaiued in the preface to the pamphlet: Boston, June. 27th, 1S54. . PtAR sir: I have vour favor oft the 25th, ncUrtiiu a small pamphlet which contains letter, (puqortin to have been aiIdnsdto Mr. Fillmore while l'resident of th UnittM Sttes),dated 5th February, 1853, and signed H.

I its utetnents 'found to be entirely aatisfacton; and you inquire of me whether any Much letter was cinsidered by Mr. r iiimore ana nis cao: net in council. . The proceedings of the cabinet, you are aware, are confidential; but as the letter lias Uia published with the prefatory remark, referred to, I deem it proper to state, in reply to your inquiry, that it w in substance a copy of a letter add rowed to President Fillmore on the 5th dT February, 1853, and tha' it wa real in the cabinet. It was, however, thought by the cabinet and I believe unanimously not to have any tearing njnm the questions at issie relative to Mr, Dlneys ajpointm-nt as chirg d'affaires to Guatamala; and I am not aware that any opinion was expressed whether its statements were or were not saiift;actory. am, dear Kir. wry truly vours; EDWARD EVERETT.

Sir: The President has determined to re commend to Congress to make an appropna- uon lor a xuii minister 10 me oiaies oi ven tral America, instead of two charges d'affaires, as at present provided for. Mr. Kerr was some time ago conditionally recalled; and in conformity with the proposed measure,1 tlie President has decided to revoke your appoint ment asj charge d'affaires to Guatemale, and it is hereby revoked. ; Youraalary: will be allowed from' the day of you rj return from Kentucky to your place of residence, preparatory to leaving the coun try, up to the present time.. If you will inform the department of the day ofj-our return, your account will be set Uexl accordingly. ' I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant, j V: EDWARD EVERETT. To Baus M. Edxit, Esq. . These two letters are conclusive, hut I add also one of my colleague,' the Hon. W. S. j V B :I3 ASHEVHLE, H". C, THDESDAY, JUIY 27, 1854. Ashe: Dear ant In - answer to . your . inquiry I well remember that in a conversation I had with Hon.- C."M Conrad, fat that time a member of-President Fillmore'a cabinet,) he stated to me that a certain letter which had been addressed to the President by. General 15. AL lul ney was read in his cabinet, and that it satisfied every member of his cabinet that the charges alleged - against General Edney-4 were groundless and malicious. 1 then, as I now do, understood that the principal against the general was the writting a letter to Mr, 'With respect, - Y?. S. ASHE.. : Hon.T. L. Cu3rosiAK.- . - MrrAsh.e'sstatementin anbstance," corres ponds with those made to me about the same time, both by Mr. Conrad and Mr. Fillmore. Tlie latter gentleman, after explaining - fully to me his reasons for having determined to recommend to Congress the appointment of a full minister to Central America in lieu of the the two charges, said expressly that Gen. Edney had been acquitted of all the charges against bira. Much of the conversation had reference to the Fagg letter and Gen. Edney's answer to it. This interview occurred a day or two after the decision of the cabinet in the case, and no'tIthink, long Ufore the President sent in the recommendation to Congress. It is proper that I should say, further, that there was at that time no desire, on the part of Gen. Edney to retain the office, and that I supported on the floor of the House of Re- nr.nrt;v tK Trlant- rmmfln(:nn i io aoonsu me iwo cnargesnips. -fVs Mr. Badger was not referred to in Gen. Edney's letter, I 3m at a loss to know whe ther his interference in this matter was owing to tha truth of a statement madsvto me by a member of the North Carolina delegation, that he, too, was one of those who joined in the demand that General Edney should be recalled on account of the Fagg letter: or whether he has embarked in the affair out of opposition to Gen. Edney or to myself. What ever may be his motive for coming into, the contest, I say to him and to his correspondent, Mr. Everett, that if either of them desires to go further into the matter, the result will not, in my judgment, be prejudicial in any res pect to Oen. Elney or to myself. To account for my having at this time in my joses$ion the two letteis of Mr. Everett, it may be proper that I should state that when I la saw Gen. Edney he spoke of going to Europe within a short time. As I had form erly Uen assailed in connexion with the Fagg letter, and as he expected to be absent for a considerable period, to enable me to make de fence against anv attacks that might be made, he gave over to my keeping the original let ter?, not then having even time to make copies. These letters are open to inspection, if their genuineness should be questioned. Owing to their being thus fortunately left in my pos session, I have it in my power to defend him against most unjust and malicious assaults. ft remains to be seen whether such papers as the Observer have sense of shame enough left to induce them to publish this vindication, Respectfully, ' T. L. CLINGMAN. A very good story is told of a German who was getting nut of Arkansas, half dead with the shakes and billious fever, and migrating up the river. A colporteur got bold of him, and entered into conversation on serious things: The jH)or German complained bitterly of hi, had luck and sicknes.- Wt, my unconverted friend, said the colorteur, uthere is a Sand where the blessed inhabitants never say I ait sick."

Mr, jBadger is a profound lawyer, a fluent and graceful speaker, and his mind is deeply lm- uucu wilu a spini or uie classics ancient ana modern; but he deals - quite as much in lan guage as in ideas, is more of a sophist than a logician; and though he has been engaged in politics, many years, he is yet" sadly deficient Pn lhe 'oformatioiv sagacity, and sound com- mon sense essential to a statesman." Govern or Reid and Mr. Clingraan are statesmen. Mr. Glingraan's powers of analysis are stronger dhan those of Mr. Badger he reasons more kil:l' i t.J l r.

Gow Reid has reason Mr. Badger has imagination; Gov Reid grasps ideas, and forms a judgment which is seldom at fault Mr. Badger deals oiien in inejiiusory, ana is more or less un sustained in his opinions by the events with reference to which these opinions are formed; Gov. Reid is discreet and wise Mr. Badger is cautions,, artificial, and rarely up with the requirements or temper of the times; Mr. Badger is the meteor, which coruscates and 4azzles Gov. Reid, by" his actions and the mnifestations f his mind,' is like the steady teams' of the sun which dispense light and it the same time give life to what they touch. ' Ti e Argus is mistaken in his estimate of these men. We know something of them all; aid we feel sure that neither Gov. Reid nor ungmaa win suner oy a comparison J with Mr. Badger.- Their friends, it is true, ! have claimed less for them than Mr. Badger's j have (uniformly claimed' for him; but this does hot affect the difference between them r a diflbrence between the ornamental and the solidjwhieh is founded, .perhaps, in the very natures of the men, modified more or less by their education, modes of thought, and bab- Hsof ife.

' How to Hake a Modern Young V Lady. Take your lady twig,, whether healthy or not is of little consequence; wrap it well in clothing, but leave the neck, chest and arms bare; they are! too sensitive, and must be toughened. Shut it up -in hot rooms let it sleep in the evening in a room with a good coal fire,! and a bright gas light. The air" will be cool before morning, and the light stimu lates the brain. , Let her lie late in the morning, because she is sleepy, and sit up late at night because she is not. Send her to school early, make her study as many hours in the day as possi ble, give little or no time to exercise and fresh air, she must learn to do without them. Send her, to dancing schools- to cultivate airs and graces, anil let her o to late parties to cultivate her manners. Screw her dress as tightly as possible around the waist; s and let it fall off the shoulders. Never imagine that thej shoulders were meant to hang clothes on, or that the form was made rights It needs moulding and training. Instead of sending her to thtiant or bee for lessons, tell her to, take the wasp for her model in form and pro portions. Give her shoes tight as she can possibly wear, and raise them on heels, so as to prevent any thing like freedom of motion, as that is unintelligent. If she complains of head-ache or lassitude, dose her with medicine, or give her a glass of wine, don't think for a moment that, she suf. fers'froih violating the laws of health.
