TV. frnofcfc Tbe fear of defeat toy Air Graves has induced this gen tleman to come out from the disunionists and avqw himself a feal "submissionis!.11' VVe learn from the ' Milton Chronicle (hat he declared in his .speech iu Granville a few days before the election, .that he would xmconditiotiaiiti , abide 'by Utt Compromise V that he , would do noth ing to destroy it'4 that he would stand by the Union upon the terms of the Corn-pruniise- Of course Mr enable will be at once denounced by hi Locofuco brethren as it "traitor to the South.'' -At any rate, he deserves to be, for moved by' the paltry cons'ulerntions of a seat ia Congress and eight dollars a day, he has avowed his de- teruiin-Jtion tu submit to what he and ther have denounced as palpable violations of the Constitution and th ri-hts" of the Sooth." Now, we have - the best aitlhorite for pronouncing the above statement ofthe Observer wholly destitute of truth; Mr Venablc never made any such declaration in any Speech delivered in Granville, 6r elsewhere. On the contrary, he distinctly and emphatically declared on all occasions during the campaign, that of the measures of "adjustment" he voted ' only for the fugitive slave bill, and regretted .that his vote against the other measures cbold not defeat them, as such defeat would have compelled the free States to do justice to the South, lie denounced the admission of California, the New Mexico and Tex a bill, and the law abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia as disgraceful bill of surrender of Southern rights. Being no Nullifier, and owing' his al legiance to North Carolin i alone, and obe dience to the Federal Govei nment because she as one of the sovereign members of the Confederacy commanded him to obey, he said he would acquiesce in these measure as long as his State acquiesced ; and while he asserted the right of secession,' he disapproved of separate State; action, but would act with his State whenever she might determine in Convention to act. He denounced, in fact, - the whole policy of yielding Southern rights for a hollow truce, and declaied that the South liad been di prived of her Territorial rights, and subjected to a confiscation jf property in the slave trade hill., for the consideration of an empty acknowledgment of the Con stitutional right to recapture her fugitive slaves. - These were the grounds occupied by Mr Venable in the late campaign ; ami he maintained them fearlessly, boldly, and without regard to the so-called "Union" demonstrations which were made against him He has been endorsed by the people by an overwhelming majority r and ife is a Disunionist, as charged by the Federal organs, then are his constituents, or a large majority of them, men of the same stamp. But they are all friends of the Union ac cording to the Constitution. All Mr Venable asks is the Constitution in its letter and spirit ; and it is because he was unwilling to take less that he has been per secuted and denounced. The Observer owes it to the cause of truth and justice to correct the above mis representations. - r SUICIDE. V In Wayne County, N. C, on the morn ing of the 2rthof August. 1 851, William Whitfield committed suicide, by hanging. The act wa - committed, it was supposed, one or two' hours before day light upon a Mulberry tree just in front , of his own d welling, about thirty feet from the door. beveral persons besides the family were at his house, on the melancholy occasion, anil on getting up in the morning, the appall ing spectacle was presented to their view. The deceased had been laboring under some hallucination of mind for several months previous to his death. He seemed . to be impressed with the idea of destroyiug himself, saying that his troubles , wefe more than he could bear, but in. other, respects he seemed to be rational.
