These resolutions were concurred in by ihe Assembly the day before the adjourn rvent, and tinder circums'ances which will not have been forgotten. They were press etl imtnediaiely to a vote by the application of the previous question there being no time to be lost in debate at that Mags f the session, and the house being then under a heavy pressure of business if, indeed, there was any occasion for dtbate, except such as might be prompted by a desire on the part of ti e (Minority to 6tave off the question. The bearing and scope of the resolution? were well understood fiom the reading, and, wit!) few exceptions, ail were prepared to vote upon them at once. As much time, however, as could be consum ed in calls from the opposition leaders for the ayes and noes, and in calling the roll; and when the question at last came to a vote, and members bad an opportunity to place their names on record, pome of the ivhitu ihPC the roost rlamorous for the aves an.l noeswere found amon-r the missing, having abruptly shot the pit. Ofihewhigs that remained, (and there were a handful that could not or would not !odje the question.) several declined to vote when their names were called, aiul were in one or two instances excused. Among these was Mr. Sim:nop.s, the able and learned member from Essex, who, slated that ha was at a loss how to vote. His opinion upon the point involved in the resolution, it waa well known, had been in accordance with the views of the Execn- tive, and had been so expressed on the floor at the last session; but lie confessed that, under the recent decision of the Sti preme Court of the United Stales, so far i ca" liave no-xisience on the high seas dur as the grounds of it had coire to his know!- ! peace." The only right his Lordship edge through the press, his confidence in the soundness of his former opinions bad been shaken, and be was not prepared to vote for or against the resolutions. This, it will be recollected, transpired before the message of the Governor, alluded to above, was received. What might have been the result, so far as the whig were j concerned, coidd tiiey have anticipated the Governor's dogged adherence to his posi tion on this question, as expressed in the message, it is not for us to say. We al lude to these facts, and particularly to the special communication of his Excellency, j reiterating nis views ot tlie sunject, as maintained through the controversy with the Executive of Virginia, as a sufficient answer to the attempt of the Evening Jour nal to represent the resolutions as a mere riibteifiige on the part of the majority to escape the responsibility of acting on the repeal of the "trial by jury" act a bill which, so far from having been strangled in the House, as the Evening Journal a vers, was reported to that body, and failed only for want of lime to reach it.

Let us inquire what ihe whig have been doing herr, while they have declaimed so loudly against ex travagance in the General government The contrast 1 present b low, is drawn from official documents which any Demo crat or whig can see upon inquiry for them. The Expenditures fur 1S30-9 mav be foi.nd in a report of tne Whig Commit tee on Finance, made to the last Legishi- ernoient might be able to understand tin lure. It will be recollected that the whigs reparation which will be due, Lord Aber liever failed to compare the expenditures of oeen details the orders which have been ilr. Van Buren wiih those rf John Quincv Adams. It i3 now admitted that this was an unfair comparison; for Mr. Clay him.-ell' proposes to doable ihe expenihtoies of Mr. Adams. But a comparison of ihe expen ditures of our SlMe Government, at thus periods, is not-Mjbject to a charge of un-faimes-; for, by a change in oar Constitu tion, our expenses ought to bo diminished and not incrrsred.

Ficin the GJcbt' THE RIGHT OF SEARCH AH AX DON ED BY GREAT BRITAIN. We published, in our pappr of Wednes- ! V ",e 'p,pr ' 1-f"tJ Al.ertieen to .vir. ! Everett, on the right of search, in reply t, Mr. Stevenson's last communication previ ous to his departure; from England. Alter disclaiming, on the part of the present min istry, any responsibility fir ihe grounds as sumed by Viscount I'almeistou, and re questing "that his doi trtites upon this stdi jeei, and those of the Government of whieh he is the organ, may bej-idged of exclusive ly.froni U s ott declaration-!," his Lord ship says: "Tii2 uiideiigneij again re ;.s lie has already done, in ihe n",sl "-sj'bcu terois, any right, on the pari Bniish GovcrnTP-nt, to search Amer- I riir vr-sscls in time of peaee. The right ' of se-rcli, exeept when specially ronredeii ! .v treaty, is a purely bel!i;;ere it riglit, and craims is "the right to satisfy the party, who has a legiti;:iaiR right in knowing truth, that ihe vrrfel actually is what her colors annoiMic." 'Tiie British cruisers are not mstruc ed to detain American ves sels under any circumstances whatever; on l!,e contrary, they ate ordered to abstain rr,,:n a11 in,ei lerence wi.h them, be tht y slavers or otherwise." "It is undoubtedly true," his Lordsh'p adds, "dial this right may be abused, like evi ry otlur which is delegated to many and dilfc-tent bands. It is possible thai it may be exercised wanton ly and vexatious!, ; and, f houid this t the case, it would not tmy call for remoi.strance. hut would justify resentment. This, how ever, is in the highest degree improbable; and if, in spite of the utmost caution, an error should be committed, and an Ameri can vessel should Suffer loss or njtirv, it would be folio" ed by pmmpt ami ample reparation. The un teisigued begs leave to repeat, that with Amer can vessels, ' w h it cver be their deMina'ion, lniili cruiser' have no pretension in any manner to inter fcre." Now, as wp understand these -ords, (ami it is possible we may misunderstand them,) here is a disiinct disavowal of any right to search or t visit ;n Aoercan vessel, under any circumstances whatever. The claim is to visit and search British vessels, or tlie vestis of nations who, by treaty, have authorized the aci, whether bearing the American flag r not: ami if, in exercising this unquestionable right, "an error is cooimitted," by mistaking an Amer ican for a British or other vessel, over which the right exists, it is an aggres-ion, however cntiiieiitional' for which reparation is due; and in order that tlie Britisti (iov- given to tne Lrmsh cru'sers as io the course of conduct the o.licer shail pursue, if he should board an American vessel: "He jjhe boarding officer" w ill immcdian I quit her. offering, with the .consent f i ci commander, to note on iier papers the cause of suspecting her nationality, and the num ber of minutes she was detained (if detained at al!) for the object in qiie?iion'. And ail the particulars are to be immediate Iv enter ed in the log-hook of the cruiser, and a fui' statement is to hi? gent, by the first opportu nity, dneet to England." These precautions and acts can have no tneaiMi-g unless they imply ibai an aggres sion is committed, fjr which reparation may justly bt lequircd The whole matter, then, when sifted down, appear to us' to be this: his L ud ship r'nf jis the right of doing win t is right, and what n.ibodv ever thnujltt oT ih-nyng to Great Britain Hie right to vitt swi-l earch her ow n "hips; ami should a mistake be mad. ?nd an American vessel be i't'er fered with, repiration is dup, and will bp inai'p. To iiits dortrme no orst- can object; although we can very easily perceive tho inore d.fficti'-i'- mav arise from t! e 'errors' wtiirh mav be "commtued," than L rd Aberdeen seem to apprehend. If they have r.o right to interfere with an Amerin-a i vps-el; an American vessel has the right n u to idlow herself to be interfered with. She may neither ailow herself to be boar ded, nor may she come to, at the mandate of a British crti'ser. The reparation way then not he apologetic or ppconiary merely, but national; and we are inclined to .think thai resisia:ice on the part of our merchant mpti may bo necessary to prevent abuse. The qnesiion, however, so far as diploma cy goes, appears to us, for the present, to be setdpil between the Government of Great Britain and ihe United Slates. The former Government lias abandoned ihe or mm! assumed by Viscount Palmerslon, in h correspondence with Mr. Stevenson, and authorized by the ad of I'arliaaiejit passed in IS'U). Lord Pcil nershm's Ian-gu-.ige is: "Her MfuVsty's Government have ''eciiied that the flag of the Untied Si ues shall exempt no vessel, whether A oier c:vi or n it, fro.ii se-irc'i by her Ma j"-lv's cruisers in the African seas, unless s-ieh vessel s'nil be f mn I provided with papers entitling her to the protection of ihe fl ig she w-ars, and proving her l bu United Sm)". property, and navigating ihe .ocean according to taw." The act of 1833 takes it for granted that the British ministry h d i. enlier the authority to older, nor the natai oificers to inspiule and carry on tho seardi f tlie ves-els of oilier nations on the high se:f, which ii legMioitzes and sanctions. To sc;een the officer from the consequences of an act wJ'icii wm ko ivvn t be lib-gal, and to rusks it natiou;d, wa- die o' ject ot the act; whilst, ifotiier nations conk! be ca-j-itad by treaties, or inti nidated by lorce, they would He practically subjected to the legtrdattou of England. lieie was the pre tension n bicb uii tesisled; nod o think I iu civibzed and commercial world are in debted solely and entirely to ihe United States fr its abandonment. We atiriouie. the change of policy in the British Govern ment, not to fear, (although the conse quences lo her, as well as other nations, of a war forced upon them by her upon such principles, would be nothing to smile ai.) nut to a thorough Conviction ihat they were wrong, and ajtand noble desire to do vv hat is right. We commend the decision uid magnanimity, which have dictated the course of ihc present ministry of England.

Agreeably to appointment, Louis D. Henry, tlie Republican candidate for Gov emor, addressed the people at this place, on Saturday last, the 30lh ult. It was truly a proud day for old Lincoln, and will not soon be forgotten by her sterling Democ racy. ' As the cumber of people frnm the coun try was quite large, and all could not be accommodated with seals in tive Court Moose, it was deemed advisable to repair to the German Reformed Church (permis sion to i.se which. Lad been politely given hy its otricers) and soon it was filled to overflowing. Mr Henry commenced his ad dress at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and concluded a little after four; during all w hich time lie was listened to with great attention. We cannot pretend to give even an outline of his speech; it was a compila" Hon of facts, known and indisputable, go ing to i indica.e the late Administration from trie many foul aspersions that had been thrown upon it; showing ihe mismanage ment of the parly now in power, boih in H e Federal and Slate Governments, and expo sing the frauds and deceptions practised on the people by that parly, or its leaders, be lore the Elections. lie contrasted their practice with their professions, and called to mind some of their promises unfulfilled, and pledges unredeemed; shewing, that while they had denounced the lat Admin istration lor extravagance and promised re trench ment, they had actually in the first jear of their power enlarged the expendi tures of the Government several millions, and that while they had abused Mr. V..n Buren for creating a national debt, (now shown by I Plug documents lo have been only about five miliioi.s and a half,) and promised to pay it off, they bad actually increased it fotir-Jold since ihe Government j had fdlen into their hands. He also J brought to light some upw and inlcn -'-iug ! facts in relation to the management of our state affairs for the last few years under Whig control, all of which we shal'. notice mo'p particularly in some subsequent num bers etf our paper; and he showed conclu sively to ntir mine!, ihat Gov. Morehead had failed to redeem the pledge made in his i'iaugural address, to be the Governor of the whole people, and not of a party. As a whole, ibis speech of Mr. Henry was one of ihe ablest we ever listened to. and we wish it con Id have been beard by every voter in tlie state. The De mocracy of Nerib Crrolina did wise'y in sehctii g I.e. ins I). Henry as ibeir candidate for Governor. He is jrst the man for the times. He possesses sd-I the qualifications, both of bead ami heart, requisite for that high staticn. As a pub lie speaker, lie has few equals, certainly t-.o superior in the State. IL'. is elignefied, graceful, fluent, and when occasion requires it, th-iiliiigly eloqueiv; and ho has such a fearless and straight forward way of telling the truth, ihat he is sure to command atten tion, and force coiivictiem. Th' re-fore it is, that fie mver fails to make eon verts to our cause wherever he goes. Us spefch al this place has been atten ded with the happiest results. It I as ef fected several important changes in our fa vor, that we have heard ef; and there are no doubt mar.y others of which we have not beard. But more than this, it has in fused an ardor and enthusiasm into our ranks such as we have rarely known ne fore, and which cannot fail in the end to work out the most brilliant results. THE MAY-DAY CELEBRATION. Saturday last was quite a day in Lm colnion. First we had a 'arge political meet ing, then a p-ditW-nl JJrej. and last b'M not least, the beautiful ceremony of a May day coronation. Having been debarred the pl.-asure of being present on the last mentioned eiucaston, we are indebted to a friend for the following description of the 'iiier esiing an! imposing scene: MAJ. V 1LLIAMSOM 1 must notice in terms of high commendation, the efforts f our fair ladies al their recent May day celebra. lion. 'The morning threatened rain, and ihat added to ihe fact of there being a Dem ocratic Convention in session in the vil lage, gave rise lo fears, ihat the May party would be thinly .attended; but, in despiie o; every impediment, ihe academy was filed at an early hour w ith ladies and gentlemen anxiously wailing the entrance of the fair Queen, Miss Martha Rankin. At 2 1-2 p. m., she approached, attended by the Duchess of Kent, Miss F. Johnson and tne Duchess of Can erbury. Miss Nancy Er. win, with her maids of honor consisting ot ihe iVdowiug young lad es, in her tram. Miss Anne Jenkins, lis Jane Cline, Miss Margaret Butts, Miss Mary Ann Ram. sour. Miss Sarah Dews, Miss Saiah Mi chal, M.ss Ll za Rush, Miss C. Summej. The Qieen having ascended the throne, was addressed ir. a neat am! appropriate manner by the Duchess of Kent, which was follow eel by an address from the duel esol Canterbuiy which for beauty of st!e and delivery 1 have nevet seen surpassed. Then followed tiie crowning with "a crow n of flowers" the fair Queen. Afer the Coronation had been gotten through with, refreshments were banded round in a profusion, w hich spoke well for the liber ality of the ladies. The scene was one of beauty and loveli ness and told wi ll for ti e taste of ihe ladies in arranging flowers; but beautiful as were he decorations, . they fell incomparably short of the beauty of the fair Queen and her retinue. After refreshments, the Queen receivpd ihe attentions of the ladies and gentlemen. :n afetyle of grace and elegance peculiarly her own. The Lincoln Band, with their accustom ee! spirit of ai'comniodnlton, were in aiteu dai re, and added much to the pleasures given and received by all in attendance. At five, ihe audience dispi rscd, Well pleased with themselves, anil more particularly so, with the fair ladies w ho had contributed so much to their ft joy ment. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. Pursuant to previous notice, a large number ef the Republicans of Lmcoln coun iy, met at the ''emrl House in Liiiodntort, on Saturday the 30th ult. On motion, the Hon.
