The 80th anniversary of our Indepen dence was observed in this town by a gen eral closing of business doors and suspen sion of business. There was no united public celebration of the day. Every pa triot was left free to observe and honor the day in his own way, and various were the modes adopted. Instead of a day of noisy jubilee, it was on this occasion, a political Sabbath, honored quietly and fur the most part apparently religiously. THE TEN CENT FALSEHOOD. This falsehood originated in the follow ing manner. Mr. liucliaiian, in a speech .. the course of his argument referred to the effect the sudden expansions and con tractions of Hanks would have upon the property and labor of the country, and ad vocated a greater proportion of specie for the currency of the country. He said (we quote the very winds in his speech) ' It is better for the loboringman and everv other class of society except the speculator, that the business of the country should be nla- cod upon that fixed and permanent founda- ill tavor ot the Sub-Treasury system, at uuu "gMU" me proposeu measui v, ui cm- . oc cmitiea 10 aeciae inui jatiuwi cxciustve tbe time that measure passed the Senate, in i cit the truth, and enable the public to de- j ly for tkemtelve." tiou which would be laid by establishing we are sorry to learn, did much damage to audi u bank reform as would render it cer- I fanners. Many lost their entire crop of tain that bank notes should be ahvys con- 1 oats, and had their corn crop seriously in rertibis into gold and silve r." j jured. Among the sufferers were Mr. Jos. Senator Davis of Massachusetts, in re- j B. McDonald and Mr. Win. Semmerville, ply, argued (what was false) that Mr. Bu- j both of whom lose all theiroat crop and have chanau was in favor of a metallic currency, and from these assumed premises went on to show that European governments, where there was an exclusive metallic currency, laboring men were employed for ten cents a da.y and therefore this Massachusetts Senator alleged that Mr. Buchanan was in favor of a similar amount per day, for the laboring men of this country ! ! The moment Mr. Davis made the charge, in a speech in the Senate, Mr. Buchanan arose and pronounced the charge (we quote Mr. B.s own words) "a flagicious misrepresen tation of mv hisj remarks." The follow ing are the concluding remarks of Mr. Bu chanan, made in the Senate, in the pre sence of the man who made the charge: "I c ontended (says Mr. Buchanan) that it would not injure, but greatly benefit, the laboring man to preveut the violent and ruinous expansions and contractions to which our currency was incident, and by a judicious hank reform to place it on a set tled basis. It this was done, what would be the consequence! That, if the laboring man could out receive as great a nominal amount for his labor as be did "in the days of extravagant expansion,' which must al ways under our present system hi- of short duration, he would be indemnified, and far more than indemnified, by the constant em ployment, the regular wages, and the uni form and more moderate prices of the ne cessaries and comforts of life, which a more stable currency would produce. Cau this proposition be controverted ? I think not. It ir, too plain for argument. Mark me, sir, I desire to produce this happy result, not by establishing a pure metalic currency, but 'by reducing the amount of j our bank issues within reasonable and safe limits, and establishing a metalic basis for your paper circulation.1 The idea plainly ex pressed is. that it is better, much better, for the laboring man, as well as every othe class of society except the speculator, thai the business of the country should be plae ed upon that fixed and permanent founda tion which would be laid by establishing such a bank reform as would render it cer tain that bank notes should be always con- ertable into gold and silver." "And yet this plain and simple exposition of my views has been seized upon by those who desire to make political capital out ol their perversion; audit has been represent ed far and wide that it was mv desire to re- duce wages down to the pries received by t!,' ""W" serfs and labon-rs of Euro- , I , n 1- i leave the public to decide between me and mv tratlucers. The senator from Massa chuctts, after havine attributed to me tin intent of reducing the wages of labor to the hard-money standard, through the agen- ! CV of the independent treasury bill, has added, as an appendix to his speech, a statement, made by the Senator from Ma- ryland, Mr. Mkkkk k.J ot the price ot la- A number of papers i-i our State still ad-bo,- in these hard-money despotisms; and it yocatJ Fillmoro aij( Doiieisoll, but those iv thiio. tt Tii lie ttiti rtitl f imI 1 inn in l;ivir of reducing the honest and independent la- borer of this glorious and free country to the same degraded condition. 1 he sena tor ought to know that there is too much intelligence among the laboring classes in this highly favored land to be led astray by such misrepresentations." Was ever any false accusation more thor oroughly refuted and turned against its au thors ? And yet we find- in the face of Mr. Buchanan's own positive denial of tin charge, and the fact that then! has not boon, and cannot be, a particle of evidence produced to sustain the charge, the know nothing papers continuing the charge at the head of their papers, in the following f. rm, which we take from the last Concord (Cabarrus county) Gazette: "TKX CEXT JIMMY." "James Buchanan, the Anti-American candidate for the presidency, made a speech in Congress, in tavor of reducing tho wa- i gesof laborers to fen cento a day. What think you ot that position.

If the charge be true, where is the proof? Why has it not been produced? Simply because it cannot be produced. The opponents of Democracy, on all hands, maintained with Senator Davis, that the Sub-Treasury law would not only bring the price of labor down, but that it would ruin the country. Time lias vindicated Mr. Buchanan and his party, in Bhowiner the correctness of his arguments and the falsity of tho statements of his opponents. Has the price of labor fallen since the pas sage of the Sub -Treasury bill and has it ruined the count ry ! On the contrary, the reverse is the fact- Yet in view of all this, Know-Nothing journals will continue to publish the "ten-cent' falsehood, until the 4th of November raises its mighty voice a gainst them. THE RAIL ROAD QUESTION. Believing it would be mutually advanta geous to both roads and an accommodation to the public, we recently advocated a per fect "through connection" of the North Carolina Central and the Charlotte and South Carolina rail-roads, in order to se- cure the through travel. The question is now under di.-cussion between the able Presidents of the two roads. An interest- . the inhabitants of any such Territory, who ing communication from Win. Johnston, i have been permitted to settle with, and hold Esq., the President of the C. &c S. C. Road I tlaves therein; because the people of any appears in to-day's paper. The discussion such Territory have not aked for the abo of the subject between him and Mr. Fisher, j lition of slavery therein, and because when the President of the N. C. Kail Koad, gen- j any such Territory shall he admitted into tlemen familiar with all the arguments for j the Union as a State, the people thereof will i : it .i :ii i: ci(le uPon tne merits of the question, pro aud con. The roads are now, as it were, ; but one and the same imprevement, and ' what will benefit the one, it appears to us, will ulso benefit the other and, on the other hand, what destroys the success of one. I will affect the prosperity of the other. A STORM. On Tuesday last, a storm of wind, hail, and rain passed over a portion : f this county, West of Charlotte, which. theircoru crops greatly damaged.

THE DECLARATION. The know-nothing journals, this year, have generally omitted the publication of the Declaration of Independence. And in truth, we are so much pressed at present for room that we can only find room for the following portion of that great document : 'He (the King of Great Hritain) has en h avored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for the naturalization of foreigners; re fusing to pass others to encourage their mi gration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands."

I tion. lie has scarcely a paper in the whole West, and not half a dozen in all New Eng land. In the Middle States, a very few still hold to him chiefly in Pennsylvania and New York. Of those in Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia North American says: "I the interior will mostly go with the ma- jority of their supporters, who are fast changing to Fremont." It is so everywhere, North. The Massachusetts Know-Nothing State Convention, in session, at Boston, last week, had a quarrel over Fremont and Fillmore.

Moss, by Mr. John Sloan, Jr., on Saturday the 2eUh ult., appends the following remarks to the details of the transaction : 'They had been unfriendly for some time, and whenever they met Mr. Moss would tuunt him in an insulting manner. He had been drinking for some time, and meeting with Mr. Sloun, who had only arrived hero the evening before, he commenced on him again, and if we are correctly informed struck him. when he was shot as above stated." v.- ,1 ,c, hnr-a nssi'rrne.l bv the lor the reasons here assigned by the Whig, it is but justice to Mr. ijloan to say, ,1,,, tko ramnaiutv. so fur as we have heard an expression of sentiment, do not attach the blame to him for the transaction.

In 1838, on Mr. Buehanan's motion, the Senate of the United States resolved "That any atte'npt of Congress to abol ish slavery in any Territory of the United : States, in which it exists, would create se- rious alarm and just apprehension in the j States sustaining that domestic institution, would be a violation of good faith towards 7 i j i. it .1 1: i ty We find the following beautiful and eloquent sentiment in a speech of Mr. Buch anan, delivered in the House of Represen tatives in 1822. How perfectly has it bu n illustrated by his subsequent public career? "If I know myself, J am a politician neither of the Fast, nor of the West, of the Js'orth, nor the South 1 therefore shall forever acoid any expressions, the direct tendency of which must be to create sectional jealousies, section al divisions, and at length disunion, that worst of all political calamities." - "From my soul I abhor the practice of mingling up religion with politics. The doctrine of all our Constitutions, both Fed eral and State, is, that every man has an indefeasible right to worship God accord ing to the dictates of his own conscience. He is both a bigot and a tyrant, who would interfere with that sacred right. When a candidate is before the people for an office, the enquiry ought never to bo made, what form of religion he professes, hut only in the language of Mr. Jefferson, " Is he hon est, is he capable?" James Buchanan. -o- KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. Mr. John A. Gilmer, who seeks the suf frages of a Southern people for tho office of Governor, has openly acknowledged that if in Congress when the Nebraska-Kansas bill was passed, he would have voted against it. This ' is genuine Free-soil, Abolition doctrine. He would have voted for Nor thern supremacy against Southern rights and Southern equality! Mr. Dargan, the kuow-uothing Elector for this District, in his late speech at the Court-House in Charlotte, after denouncing the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, was forced to admit that, as a Southern man, had he been in Congress, he should have felt hound to vote for the bill repealing it. Not so, however, with Mr. Gilmer. He declares that he would have voted with the enemies of the South against the hill, lte member this voters. Prof. Wood's Hair Hf.tgative.

Prudence, however, generally dictates such a course, as it no doubt did iu this instance.

NYE HUTCHISON, Charlotte, July 2. 1 SoO. Eec'g SecV. a sa COMMUNICATED. OBITUARY. Departed this life, on the morning of the I0th ult., at die residence of his brother, Mr. 11. M. White, of this county, Mr. A. W. WHITE, in the 21st year of his age. This promising young man was the son of pi ous parents, who dedicated him to God in infant baptism, giving him the name of a foreign Mis sionary, prayed for him a few years, aud then left him an orphan hoy in the care of a covenant keeping God. That covenant transaction, it is well believed, was not unavailable. For the last two years, young Mr. W. was a clerk in the house of Messrs. Springs &. McLeod, of Charlotte, where he secured the confidence and won the affection of all who knew him. Though diffident, modest, and retiring in his feelings, ne was attentive and punctual in business ; and at the same time, thoughtful and interested in regard to his spiritual interests. Dining the last summer, he was a subject of the prevailing epidemic of the country. His re covery seemed to be slow and imperfect ; indeed, before the winter had passed, he evinced symp toms of the hereditary disease w hich removed hiin from bis place in society. lie tried the climate of Florida, so celebrated for pulmonary affections, with no good results. He reached home only in time to die among his friends. Hut to him. death had been deprived of his sting. For several months he had enjoyed an intelligent and comfortable hope of an interest in the Saviour' merits. His last day on earth was the Lord's day. In the morning be said to a friend that he should never see the sun ris again. In the afternoon, he ex pressed to the writer of this notice, with great dis tinctness, his ow n sense of personal unworthi ness aud guilt, and at the same time the preeious ness of his hope of the salvation of the Redeemer. When death was evidently very near to him, of w hich be was fully sensible, he took leave of his friends present, and sent messages to absent ones, saying "meet me in heaven." In view of this death, it may be well said : How faithful is oui God to his covenant engage- m.uts! Let Parents trust their children wiih him.
