THE NORTH CAROLINIAN
WHXGGERIT AND ABOLITIONISM.
Some time ago, the Coon papers made a
jjreet outer about a certaiu abolition letter
which Mr Gidding, the Ohio abolitionist and
whig, read to a public gathering in Ohio. It
appears that 5Ir GiJdius spoke of the letter
in such a way as to make the impression that
it was from Henry Clay, when in fact it was
(as Mr Giddings says) ouly from Cassias M.
Clay. The impression that the letter was
lYorn Mr Henry Clay got into the papers and
was being circulated, when Mr Giddings
writes a letter to the Hichmond Enquirer, iu
order to set the matter right. Thereupon the
editor who first put out the wrong impression,
(and who was present when Mr Giddings
made the (speech and produced the letter)
wrote to two gentla'neu of Oberlin, to know
whether they did uot think, at the times that
Mr Giddings meant to convoy the idea that
the letter was from Henry Clay. The two
geuiiemfiii answered, saying that "Mr Gidd
ings did read a letter of this description, w ith
an apparent intent inn of convey in the idea
that it wa from Henry Clav. Wa would
fain hope the intention was only apparent,
and not real. We will briefly slate tht fact
as they uectiifed: Mr Giddings strongly ur
ged the members of the Libeity party to vole
the xvhio; ticket; and fiequently abseiled that
the U fJKiS WE UK DOING MOKE FO 11
i iii:. AUOblTIONoF SLAVtlRV THAN
THE JJBKKTY MEN UEKK. In this
--niiexioti, one of our citizens (Graudisnn
I'airchild, we belii ve) asked " What ae the
views of Henry Clay?" Mr Giddings re
plied: " Ah, I am glad you have mentioned
it. I have a letter toon Mr Clay which I
will read before I conclude." he.n about
cl'isir.g his rcmaiks, he was reminded of his
promise. He then produced a letter, the read-i:-
of which h- pi placed by a eolojiv on the
hiiih moral and religious character of the au
thor. He said, hUo. that he was an eminent
jiii-f, a laveho!der, and a whig. Hs did not
say at thi time that the letter was from Mr
Clay ; trnugh the letter he had piornUed was
the ulm called tor."
We call tiie attention of southern whigs ti
tht: word we have put it) capital letters. Mr
Giddings is a vvhto and an abolitionist, and
hose is his evidence, given before a public
meeting, that "the vvhigs are doing more tor
'.he atoli!io!i of slavery than the liberty meu,"
or abolitinits !
W e ob!I iitteutioii to this because certain
icon papers about here are trying to make
great capital nut ofa certain resolution alleged
to have been passed by a " locoi'oco I.egila
t.iie,'' !tit which some of trie members of that
Ij'-gi.-Iatuie knew nothing about, so secretly
was it smuggled through that body.
The Globe, in treating of this attempt of
this whiji abolitionist to deceive his hearers
and the public, fells of a similar and equal'y
successful attempt of Mr Daniel Webster, in
bis speech at Andover. lie tiied to pabi off
the opin ii)U. of a Mr Tench Co.xe, as those
of Benjamin Franklin, ou the Tariff; but the
matter making some stir, the New York
Commercial Advertiser, (Mr Webster's "pe
culiar'' organ, came out with an explanatory
uiin-ie, which unveils an artful piece of de
ception, although it lamely screens Mr W.
from appearing as the propagator of an im
po;,i!ioi). This was the manner in which that
celebrated wig oiutor performed his operation,
as shewn by the following extract from his
published speech :
" Gentlemen, a native of Massachusetts,
certainly inferior to none iu sagacity, and
whose name confers honor upon the whole
country Pr. Benjamin Franklin in 17S7,
exp. essed his sentiments upon these points in
a very remarkable manner. The convention
to deliberate upon the formation of the Con
stitution was held in Philadelphia in May,
I7S7. Doctor Franklio was then, if I re
member aright, the Governor of Pennsylvania,
and was cho-en also as a member of the con
venn. hi. As the delegates were assembling,
he ir.v itetl them Jo his house, and read to them
a p-jr on thi subject, which was subse
i tiriitly printed, nnd to extracts from this I
would call your attention."
Me sbe-.i proceed'! to read from a pamphlet
the exuatls in oi::siit)ii.
No man could have supposed (after hearing
tlut) but wrist dial pamphlet and those extracts
were written by Dr. Fianklin. And so Mr
" cb-ter wi.-hed it to be understood until his
tnr-k was found out, and then he gets out of
toe difficulty, lawyer-like, by saying he never
''I ihey were written by Dr. Franklin.
Mr Orestes A. Brownson, we observe, has
established a Quarterly Review iti Boston,
that, like Salmoueus of old, he may manufac
ture bis own thunder, even if it should not be
exactly equl to the genuine article. The
ancient Saimoneus built him a bridge of brass,
overvhich he drove his wagon, that the folks
below might take the rattling of the cart for
the wrath of Jupiter Tonaus ; and Mr Bron
son, as he uo longer lucubrates iu the ' Dem
ocratic Review," to the great comfort of the
readers thereof, is at work to model society,
civil, religious and political, according to his
own peculiar ideas, and by the aid of an " or
gan " appertaining exclusively to himself.
His thunderbolts just now are aimed at Mar
tin Van liuren and the Democratic party,
and are made up, in that respect at least,
of a leiteratiou of all the stale slang on the
subject which has formed the stapie of whigery
for many years past. It is well. We like
Mr Brownson better when he is completely
out of our ranks, than when he takes the inter
mediate attitude which enables him to do mis
chief. He can now chase metaphysics;! but
ter Hies and transcendental grasshoppers, to
his hear I'd content, and when the pursuit leads
him into a morass, why it is some comfort to
know that he is there all alone by himself and
that others are riot to be responsible for the
disastrous vasjary. It gives us pleasure, po
lilirailv, to bid adieu to Mr Orestes A. Brown
sou, and leave him to the climbing of bean
stalks, lo find the residence of giants iu the
air. He h is ower and ability enough ; but
it lacks temper, discretion, common sense
and practical application, and it is, therefore,
mere bvilmotiean thunder, after alt, effecting
neither good nor harm. Pennsyhatiian.

A tai.kinc machine. A Getm.ni, named
F.ibei', residing iu New York, has invented
and brought to perfection a talking machine.
It is plaved on by keys like a piano, and can
be made lo say anything, in any language,
that its inventor desires. The editor of ihe
New Vork American says: "We heard it
sav 'Mr Speaker,' in a tone so distinct and
starliinu, that i.o speaker could have faiied to
be attrncied by it ; ami then it went cm, now
in German, now in English, lheu iu Latin."
Wo assure our readers ihjt this tiling of
wood and paint, caoutchouc and keys, did
distinctly articulate as though having trachea,
lanjnx, glottis and epiglottis, tongue, palate
and gums each sciing as iu the living hu
man subject. The tone aione was not na
tural, but the syllables arid woids entirely so;
and there beside it sat its ingenious and pa
tient German inventor, Mr Faber, playing as
on a piano on the sixteen keys uo mure
which cause the utterance ol ail language.
For fouiteen years this unwearied mechan
ician has labored at this invention. The
letter E was that of which he found it most
difficult to give the sound. He devoted to
the accomplihmeut of that one sound seven
years ! and he has accomplished it. By lung
continued anatomical investigation, he first
mustered all the physical miuutke of the or
gans of speech, and theu, mainly out of India
rubber prepared so as to resist the changes
of temperature he imitated all these organs,
and by spring moves the parts as they are
moved in life.
KISSING EXTRAORDINARY.
In the Court of Common Pleas of Dedham,
Mass., Mr Horson or Hoy son, of Dorches
ter, brings an action agniut Lydin Whiting
ton, fur the recovery of $300, the amount of
a promissory note signed by her, aud payable
to his order, and singular as it may deem, it is
nevertheless true, that the validity of the note
depended in part, upon the fact, whether Maj.
Samuel Whiungtou kissed Mrs Horson or
not.
The defendant asked exemption from pay
ment of the note on three grounds, to wit :
1. That there was uo consideration given
for the note.
2. That if there was a consideration, it was
illegal.
3. That it was obtained by fraudulent and
false lepteseiitatious.
Rut it appeared on evidence that there was
a consideration, which was nothing more or
less than a kiss bestowed on p'aii;till's wife,
by the defendant's brother. Major WSiilimr
tou described the kiss as being one of nine
friendship, docile in its nature aud perfectly
harmless. It seems that the Major, who
is about 65, was in a state of peculiar anxiety
iu regard to the health of a friend, and as the
most feasible way of relieving this anxiety, he
called on Airs Horson, an entire strauger of
about 25. whom he fouud so interesting r.-'I
sociable, as to induce him to go in and take
a seat, and pass the compliments o! ihe sea
son. Upon a fuither acquaintance with her,
his first impiessiou.s were so much strength
ened, that on partiiitr, he ventured to kiss her
bewitching lips, which he said she received
w ilh great apparent satisfaction.
Councellor Clark, of Uoxhury, who appear
ed for the defence, and who is a man led man,
contended that such a kiss might be given and
received in a n.i'iiial way, and without dam
ago lo either party; that it neither huit the
i person or leputa'iou oi Mrs Horson, nor iou
! dered the Major liable t be sent to the State
j Prison.
I But Mrs Horson described the kiss as be
ting rough aud utn ivi! uncalled for by the
i ciicu instances of the case, unwarranted by
the usage of' society, aud a wanton and ag
gravated insult and indignity aud Councel
lor VV ilkiuson, who is si bachelor, pronounc
ed it an abominable outrage.
Mi" Horson, ou finding out how matters
stood, went to Whiiiugtou for sat isfacl ion,
which he obtained in the hape of a $3UU
note, signed by the Major's sister, and paya
ble in six months, which she refused to pay as
stated above.
The Jury found a verdict for the defendant.
From iho Norfolk Beacon.
News reached us yesterday morning that
that portion of the Poitsmouth and Roanoke
railroad, extending from Margqretsv il!e to
Weldon, in North Caroitua, has been render
ed totally impassable through the act of Mr
Rives, who bad purchased and had a mortgage
on that portion of the road. This gentleman
finding that he could not dispose of his inter
est to the company on terms which suited
him, has laid waste the whole of ihe road to
the above named place.
Excitement continues to exist at Norfolk
aud Portsmouth, in consequence. He is
denounced in the Portsmouth Chronicle as
the tool of the Petersburg company, which
has been carrying on a fierce competition for
some time w ith the Portsmouth road. About
IUU mechanics immediately repaired to ihe
damaged patt of (be road to put it in repair,
whilst resistance was threatened by Mr Rives.
What kind of receptiou they met with we
have not yet learned.
Mr Rives and his party, 13 in number,
were arrested, and some of them have been
brought to Raleigh, on a writ of habeas corpo,
and the matter is to be investigated and de
cided upon by ihe Supreme Court of North
Carolina now in session at Raleigh.
A letter from Mr Rives says that the com
pany owes more money than it can ever pay
that Mr R. had bought aud was iu posses
sion of a deed conveying all light and title iu
that portion of the road, to him aud his heirs
forever and that he had given them notice
that they must cease runuiug on the road or
else pay him for the privilege of so doing,
which they refused to do. He then took up
the iron tor the purpose ofseliiug it, supposing
that he could thus realize four or five thousand
dollars.
Iv.pe yciiment of Gov. PoRTtit. In the
l'c.H!syvaiiia J legislature, on Saturday, a
message was received from the Governor, re

Wm. M. Meredith and others to in

"plicated in the "Handy" transactions in
"elation (o the banks, with information that the
s iino has become a law without the executive
sanction, and containing his reasons for not
signing it. Mr McManus moved that it be
n it entered on the journals. Mr Roumfort
.u!?rr. moved to amend the motion, by pro
viding for the appointment of a select com
mute to prepare articles of impeachment a-gr-u:st
the Governor ; and after a short, but
animated discussion, the subject was post
poned lor the present.

ANOTHER ASSASSINATION IN OUR
S I REETS.
Oar citizens were thtown into a high state
of excitement yesterday morniug on learning
that Capt. Edward W. Collier, proprietor of
ihe Richmond Hotel, had been assassinated
in the street, about four o'clock in the mom
injr, by Robert Bums. The facts, as we
have been able to gather them, are substan
tially these: Capt. Collier had gone to the
Georgia Rail Road Depot, to await the arri
val of the cars. When -the cars arrived,
among oiher passengers, he met wiih two gen
tlemen, one an old acquaintance, whom he
'nvited to his hotel they accepted the invita
tion, leinatkiug, at the same time, that they
designed takin" the cars for Charleston
when the three set off together. So ni after
leaving the depot, they were overtaken by
Bums, who was a runner for the United States
Hotel, and who endeavored to persuade the
passengers not to go to Collier's, the Rich
mond Hotel; to which one of them replied
that they did not require a guide to get through
the city. Capt. Collier then tid Burns that
he was impei tiueutly meddling with inatteis
that did not concern him ; some other words
perhaps passed, when burns rushed upon Col
lier, a short scuffle ensued, during which
Burns stabbed him three times, with a dirk or
bowie knife, two of which entered the region
of the heart, of which he died immediately
J scarcely speaking alter receiv ing the wounds.
Burns iled instantly, crossed over into South
Carolina, and ha-i tnus far eluded the vigilance
of the officers aud citizens. s$5U0 reward
has been offered by the city authorities, and
we hope he may yet be arrested, and pass, at
least, the moekety of a trial for leceut ex
perience has taught us to hope for little else.
Capt. Collier was a man much esteemed iu
the commuui'y, for his many excellent traits
of character, and has thus been cut off in the
j prime of lite, leaving a worthy family to de
plore his untimely fate.
SUBMARINE TELESCOPE.
An instrument of this novel and useful
character has been iuvented by a lady f
Brooklyn, N. Y. Mrs Sarah P. Mather.
Several experiments have been made with it
at the New York Navy Yard, in the presence
of the Commandant, of a large uumlier of na
val officers and of a committee of scientific
gentlemen, who were astonished at the perfect
succsss of ihe invention. A correspondent
of the Eveniag Post, who witnessed the trial,
says :
It was shown, that by means of au ordinary
campheue lamp, placed in a glass globe uuk
iu the water, sufficient light wouid be given
to enable a person standing ou the deck ot a
ship, to examine distiuctly every pottiou of
the ship's huil, even to the smallest nails used
iu fastening the coppering. Thus a ship at
hermooiiugs may undergo as thorough au
examination as though she were hauled up iu
io a dry dock, (of course at an immense sav
ing of time and expense) and iu case of a
leakage or other damage to a vessel while at
sea, iho officer standing on deck can at a
glance satisfy himself of the precise nature
aud extent of the difficulty. But ihe powers
ot this instrument may be easily increased so
as to produce much more wonderful;, results.
By the application of the Dumuioud- light to
the apparatus, even in water as tm bid as that
of the Mississippi river, the vision may be
thrown at least to the depth of two hundred
aud fifty feet, lighting up a suiface of five
hundred sq'.:;:; i'eet, and in clear water iu
ci ea-u iig the hundreds to thousauds, bringing
ihe smallest object within its tange distinctly
before the eye. And it does not stop here, i.i
revealing ihe treasures mid the mysteiiesof
the deep. Il ii is desiiable or necessary to
bi ing minute objects more distinctly within
the reach of vision, magnifying instruments
I any requited power may be added to the
suhmai ine lele.-cope wiih iho same ftcilitv as
to an ii-liouomicai observation, thus increas
ing its power to an almost illimitable extent."

TriAciiEOTOMV. Professor N. R. Smith,
of the Baltimore Inbi uiaiy, on Thursday last,
pe formed the opemliou of tracheotomy on a
beautiful aud interesting little boy, aged 20
moubts, who had some two months ago g it
ten wateimeion seed in his windpipe, front
the effects of which he had sull'e.ed much,
and in lime must iuevit.it.ly have died.
The patient was placed ou a table iu the cen
tre of the Hall, his head held steadily aud an
incision made by the operator, about three
fourths of au inch in length, through the iu
tegumeuts of the throat into (he windpipe.
This being accomplished, by means of other
instruments the orifice was distended, and in
a moment subsequent the professor's most in
tricate opera! ion was successfully crowned by
the seed being foiced out of the windpipe.
So great was ihe joy at ibis happy result, that
the targe number of spectators, (among whom
were some of our rno.-t eminent physicians,
aud ali the students of the College,) exptessed
their feelings by-u unanimous burst of applause.
The child appeared to endure the operation,
which lasted only ten minutes, with almost
stoical fortitude.
,Tnis is the second operation of the kind
performed by Professor Smiih, within the last
tvo weeks. The former was a child whose
parents reside on Fell's point. A coffee grain
had lodged in its windpipe, and it became ne
cessary to operate without delay, to S'tve the
child's life. Accordingly, he was compelled
to peifjrm the operation at night, assisted on
ly by ihe light of two candles. He was emi
nently successful, aud the patient is uow per
fectly well. Bait. Patriot.
