Tbe Mesetgt U Ai lullo : - Ta tit SntaU JIoum RrfrtxAtaliut : I have ceased to boli intercourse with tb envoj eitrtordnarj and iwnieter plenipotentiary of ber ajeiy, lb Queen of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, Beat tbU rovtrnnienl. Ja Hiking communication of tbu lact, it baa beet deemed by rue f rowr.laleo, to lay before ConprtM tbt consideration! of indipentible public duty which bavt ted to tb Adoption of a meatura ot so much inportanct. They appear in lb documents here with transmitted to both llouaea." Hereafter, follow the letter of Mr. Marry to Mr. Dallat, partly ia reply to that from Lo:d Clarendon, and partly for the purpose of announcing tbt du- nit conclusion to which thii government ha acome, in default of tha withdrawal of Mr. Crampton and tbe C onsuU. Tbit ia a document of such impor lance, that even at the risk of occupying an undut proportion o! our limited space, we shall insert it on Monday, at length, and need not therefore make any "very extended synopsis ol it to-day, eicept for the nsa of those who bar not, or fancy they Lava not, the time to read tbe letter itself. Tba President, through Mr. Marty, reciprocates tbt conciliatory spirit displayed in Lord Clarendon t last dispatch, and is fully tatisfi ed w ith tbt disclaim er of any intention either to infrirge the law or to disregard the policy, or not to respect the sovereign rights of tbt I-ni ted States, on the part of the British government. And their regret, if contrary to their in tentions and their it-iterated directions, there ha been any infrinr,emtnl of the laws oi the t'niird States. Tbe ground of complaint, so far as respects Her Majesty'a government, is thus removed. But the individuals implicated in the enlistment business are rot acceptable representatives of Her Majesty in this country, and for this cause their withdrawal has been asked for by the government of tbe United Stales, but not acceded to by (Jreal Britain, because of a difference of opinion between tho (mo governments as to the complicity of these persons in illegal proceedings within the United States Ihe main cause of tbe difference of opinion is the different appreciation of the proofs by which the charges against Her Majes'y s diplomatic representative and consult are sustained. Lord Clarendon's dispatch of tho 3')tli of April would convey tbe impression that the evidence by which the complicity of tbeso officers is t-KtaMittied is derived from oue or two witnesses whose credibility baa been assailed. This, however, is not a correot view of the case. Mr Marcy proceeds to bring for ward a mass of other conclusive tetimonj, at the aa'ne lime be remarks that Mr. Crampton having long employed and maintained intercourse with Sir be!, ie net a position to quntion the standing or ve racity of his own agent, the holder of a Capltin't commission in tbe foreign legion. It belongs exclusively to this government and its judicial tribunals to give a construction to its muni cipal Isws, and to determine what nets done within its jurisdiction are infringements of thot laws -Tbis is a matter which concerns .is internal a Imimt tration, and it cannot allow the ageuia of any foreign power to controvert that construction, and justify their conduct by a different interpretation of our laws, which renders them ineffective for the purposes intended. It is by putting his own ronstrucion upon our laws that Mr. Crampton contrives to deny his re sponsibility in certain cases. Mr. Marcy then goes into a review of the circum stances and tbe exculpatory allegations of Mr. Cramp ton. Alluding to one matter, he says : "The Karl of Clarendon remarks in his letter of the 30th of April that The intentions or tbe British government, and the arrangements made to carry those intentionlm to execution, w ere not concealed from the government of the United States. " Those intentions and arrangements wtro frank ly stated by Mr Crampton to Mr. Marcy in a con versation on tbe 22 1 of March, 1855, and thn only observations which Mr. Marcy made in reply were, that the neutrality laws of the United States would be rigidly entoiced, but that any number of persons who desired it might leave tht United States and get enlisted in Any foreign service ' " It it incumbent on me to say that, in this respect, the Earl of Clarendon labors under serious misappre hension, which, while it serves in part to explain bow it happened that the enlistment went on for so many months in a manner contrary to the intentions and express orders of the British government, also serves to increase the weight of Mr. Cnmpton't responsi bility in thia respect." Mr. Marcy most distinctly affirms that Mr Cramp ton kAt misrepresented him, And eommeats upon this miirepreaenUtion in language of considerable se verity. This would appear to be another of those cases in which Mr. Crampton has either designedly or tnpidly misunderstood or misrepresented prominent gentlemen in the United Slates, among the rest Metiers. Clayton, Cass, And others. It it probably to something of this nature that Mr. Maroy had ref- ence, when, towards tbe conclusion of hie despatch, tbe last paragraph of which we give in full, he eays : M If, in the earnest desire to net with all possible courtesy towards her Majttty t government, tbe President could have tuspended hit determination in the case, in order to submit the new testimony, which he it confident would have been found sufficient to induce compliance with hit request for the recall of the British minister, he ie preoluded from any such though of delay by the exceptionable character of despatches of that gentleman, copies of which, bsving been recently laid before Parliament, have thus come to the knowledge of this government, and which Are of a tenor to render further intercourse between the two governments, through that miniater, alike unpleasant And detrimental to their good an. derstanding. - The President has, therefore, been constrained, by considerations of tbt beat inttrtat of both conn Wits, reluctantly to bare recourse to tbe only remain ing meant of removing, without delay, these very unacceptable officeis from tbe connexion they now have with this government. This course has been deemed necessary on Account of their nefitneeaior the position! tbey hold, Anting from tbe yeiy Active part they have taken in getting op and carrying out tbe i; stem of recruiting, which has been Attended with ntunerons infractitn of oar law, which hu 1 -:::;s;;.::-:. -..v- ter-TiEt . tsi srx..s 13 trs tU.a ikJ i' :',4j is J t.c a! ia'er- irlerisL p an-f iot.fSite ecer.i! course.

'' Vnm is tisldfk &rd " Tkv IMarualva kwtw U. Uti a4 Mr. tll nrr at lllll, M. t' Tbe candidate for Governor adlretstd the people of Henderson county, oa Thursday, the 15th May. Mr. G lmer opened the discussion by emp!imenting the sublime and beaut. ful scenery of the mountain counties and tbe fertility of the soil. He spoke of the richnee of tbe undeveloped resources of tke country and said that nothing was needed but easy screws to it by Kai.ruads to make it the gieaiest country in the world. He referred the' people to his leeiIative recoM to snow tnat, on all occasions. when their interests were concerned, he bad stood np manfully for them He had voted for railroads, he bad voted for new counties to please tbem, and tuouga he did not say so in so many wards, yet be did must artfully attempt to show that be was st.ll as strong for tbe white Lasis and a I (invention as ever lie did not tell the ixople of Henderson, as bis friend are telling tbe people in the Centre and Kat, that the Western Address naa accompnsnea us orjeci and bt no longer desired to dieturb the Jais. On tbe contrary, the impression he endeavored to leave was that, in that respect, he wis still as much a Wes tern roan as he tver was. Closely connected with the subject of internal improvements he said was the devisine some scheme to relieve the people, ss far as possible, from the burden of taxttion to which a.S t-t'l ISt I the construction ot tne various luuroaus i.e nas ad vocated and voted for baa subjected them A pan acea for all these ills bo seemed to think he had found in a most vague and definite proposition to establish a monster bank based on railroad stocks He con sumed a treat deal of time attempting to explain thia matter ; but as be did not go into any detail on the subject did not state the amount of capital or the particulars in which thia bank was to diff-r from any other, nor in fact advocate any plan except so far as the general principles he endeavored to ru force might apply to any corporation organised upon those principles, he left the people entirely in the dark lo unat he wo tifttr. lis pressed Gov. Bragg to answer whether he was for or seainst hi Lank, to which the Governor replied very promptly, that, whenever he was able to understand Mr Gilmer's scheme, -he would willingly anwrr bim ; luit, for the present, he was oliliged to confess that the con fused jumble into which Mr. Gilmer had continued to get tho whole affair, tendered him incapable of expressing any opinion of a thinx which he honestly believed Mr. Gilmer himself did not comprehend.--Mr. Gilmer was understood lo deny that his scheme was Ihe same as that introduced into the last Legis lature by some cray man from Guilf'oid Caldwell I believe his name is-snd which was repudiated by the convention which nominated Mr Gilmer. From the rambling and incoherent manner in which tho Know-Nothing candidate discussed this matter, it was very evident thut hi object was to lead Gov. Bragg off from a discussion of " the paramount prin ciples of Americanism " The Governor was to smart for bim. Free Fuffrage was the next topic, and upon tins Mr. Gilmer made a lsme defence Ha declined that he bad always been snd still was a Free Suffrage man ; but that he bad constantly voted againut it lor different reasons at different times, but main y ! csuse his constituency, tht freeholders of Guilford, were onpoood to it. He considered himself inBiruc- ted by them to Vote against it, unless it and other things could be put together and obtained by a Con venlion, When he found that ( onvcntion was no go his constituents further objected lo Free Suffrage (and he considered himm-lf ms'ructed to carry out their will,) unless it was accompanied hy a further amendment to the Constitution, providing for cquali zing tho tax upon negroes and land. That his pro position introduced by bim nt the last session as an amendment to the Free SurtrBge bill embraced his views on this subject. While on this point he labor ed very artiully and earnestly to arouse tho preju diens of the non-slaveholders who own lamN ngninst the owners of slaves -dwelling upon the injuntico of exempting laves from an ad voloitm tax which land was subject to. It was generally understood thai this part of his speech was intended lo bolster up Mr N. W. Wood fin for another slow race for the Senite, as these views are fieely advanced by that gentleman with the addition of a very loud clamor for the whito basis Fin illy, niter consuming nearly all his time, with a very diy face, Mr. Gilmer marched up to the para mount principles ot Americanism, lie endeavored, in a very teeoie way, to lorcstaii wnni wov. brag had lo say about the dark lanterns, by telling some very stale anecdotes, and making sport of the whole matter. Gov. Bract's attack on the oaths and or ganisation of the order wax, he said, fighting a thing that was dead All that bad passed away, lis con tended that the party was ntcesary, in order to save the Union; nnd the oaths, grips and secrecy were neccs snry, in order to save the parly in its infancy. He reforrod to the compromise legislation of 1850, ss having restored peace and quiet to the country. He read the celebrated pledge signed hy Mr. Clay and other supporters of the compromise of 1850, bind ing themselves to abide by and maintain those meas ures. He then discused the Kansas and Nebraska bill, and declared that that bill re opened tho sec tional issues which were quieted in 1850 ; that it had exasperated the animosities of (he North ogamst the South, and the South against the North ; and argu to show that its enactment was a breach of the faith pl:ghted by those who had signed the congressional Filedge above alluded to. and that it relieved them rom the bonds entered into on that occasion. He at tacked the bill on account of the squatter sovereign ty feature, which he alleges it contains. The whole course of bis argument was to prove that the Kansas bill was in the language of his platform " a reckless and unwise " act of Gen. I'ierce's administration, and yet, at the conclusion of his remarks, he complained that he had been represented as favoring its repeal, and the restoration of the Missouri Compromise. He declared that he was for neither of these things ; but the declaration seemed to have little effect, as it was difficult for mountain men lo understand why he should traverse the State denouncing a measure be did not wish to see amended or repealed. Charges against the administration for removing Bronson, and for its extravagant expenditure of pub lic money, filled np the remainder of Mr. Gilmer's time with some scattering allusions to Fillmore, and little or nothing about Don. Jackson Donelson. " Don't you want your hter of the public lands," was never once Asked. Mr. Bragg began his reply, by stating that no com plaints bad been made of him for the manner in which he bAd administered the affairs of tbe State said that he had endeavored to fulfil every promise and pledge be bad made tbe people two years ago, and had done so whenever the opportunity had of fered. He bad been misrepresented in this section of tbe State two years ago on the Internal Improvement question. Time had enabled him to remove the un just and unfounded suspicions whish were created iu mis pari oi me ctaie against uiui vn iuii impor tant quettion. He referred to his Inaugural Address to Ihow that what he had promised to do he had done, and that his declarations made two yoars ago, Although suspected here At the time, were fully nnd honestly carried out. Of Air. Gilmer's scheme for a Bank, Gov. Bragg said be could not express a opinion, lot the retson that he conld not understand it, and he did not be litre its diatioguithed author could. lie insisted, t .t w.s or.! j' a re device f;r tvT Tte k:.:w r i-.

He denied Mr. Gilmer's right to draw bim into a dicu"ion of side itues ol ibis kind. The party which nominated Mr. G Imer bad declared in their platform that tbey " eschewed ail State iues and put themselves be f rt the people on the merits of the paramount pun eiplet of Americanism upon tbe issues tendered hy that platform, and the Convention which male it. be was willing to meet h i competitor. Tbe know nothings bad sele -Ie i their ground they had planned the campaign, and he intended to fight thera atrrr the manner of their own choice, and was ncit'ier to be cajoled nar driven from thi purpose. He reviewed the history of the struggle fur Fiee Suffrage, and exposed the insincerity of his oppo nent's declaration that be was a friend of the bill. Mr. Gilmer had voted against Free Suffiae ever since it was Grst introduced into the Legislatorr. In 1852, when it only lacked one vote of making it a part of the constitution, (for the people would cer tainly have ratified it,) and Mr. Gilmer had that vote to give, how d d be vote He cast bis vote against it, and his vote deprived the people of tlu great privilege It wa use'ess to attempt to shift the re sponsibility i f the defeat of the bill Lorn Mr. Gil mer's to Mr. Weldon N. KJwarJ's shouldeis: Mr Gilmer's vote counted ss much as Mr. Howards', and if Mr. Gilmer ha I voted for the bill, Mr. F.lwarU' vote could not fiave prevented it from panning It would now have been the law. Mr. Gilmer's vote had killed it in 1852, and at the l.it ne-cion h vote was given sgamst it. He bad understood that hi competitor bad opposed Free Suffrage becauo he pre fered a convention , but now he had uvuincd a new position be wanted to pas an additional amend ment to tax slavss equally with land, or el-o lie and the freehifclers of (iuilford would deny the rr,t of llu people of the Sutc tho privilege of voting in the Senate His competitor knew that the bid could not he amended at the next scpniom. If amended it would not bo the bill pi ssed ut the last session. Jt would fail, then fore, to pass two successive Legisla tures, and. if iiiiiemleil, wool. I bo killed He was for the bill as it is. How was Mr. Gilmer 1 To th s tho Know Nothing candidate replied in a most con fused and unsati-lactory manner - ho wa sorter for it and soiter nut. Gov Bragg next took up Know iNotlnnism Ho dinHccted and examined the principles, theory, prac tices and lesults of this nimeraHo conspiracy against republican freedom iu a maalcily maimer I'e showed that the whole tiling was artfully dti;iied by run ning politicians to rob the people ot their rights by transferring to a few irresponsible men a despotic authority over all their principles throughout the entire I'ninn. A series of ceeret, oath-bound lodges was estshlinlio I with one great national Supremo Council, whoso will upon all political mailers was to be tho law of all llio Mate and Kubonlinale councils. A system of espionage coexiens ve with the remotest ramification nf this cunningly contrived o'gain itio'i was attempted to be fastened upon the peo t by which ibeir movements iiiiid bo watched ami con tiollcd ; and any refusal to obey tho mandates cf ihe few political managers u ho controlled it could be de nounced and punished secretly, certainly, nnd with great effect if a refractory member should become ob noxious to it managers. It was nn attempt to in stitute a secret, irresponsible cabal ;one winch usur ped all the important function of the government, winch our lathers had established a power within the Stale greater than the Stato itself which, if it had been successful would have destroyed the re publican institutions of our Country, which we re ceived from tht hands of our fathers, baptised in the blood of the devolution. There was no parulled for these midnight socioties in anrient or modern history but the Jacobin Clubs of France. They set up guil lotines in every public place and drenched the soil of France with the blood of her best citizens. They destroyed every vestige of freedom ; and Know Noth ingism. had it not been frowned down hy tho virtu ous indignation of ihe people, would have accom plished the s.imecsults. He read and commented wiih telling seventy and power upon the dreadful oaths of the piganizalion winch neither Mr. (Miner or sny o'her Know Nothing present pretended to deny. lie examined their proscription ot Catholics and foreigners, and showed that they had changed their ground essentially. At first they would have nothing to do with Catholics, but now Catholics were admit ted into their National Councils, and were in full fel lowship with the men who, twelve months ago, swore they should never hold office under the government. He showed that their onths were inconsistent with tho constitution that if Mr. Fillmore enme into power as a Know Nothing, lie would have to violate ono or two oaths tho one that he took to rcqure no icligious tet for office, when he swore tu support the constitution, or the ono that he took lo proscribe Catholics wlien liejpined the Know-INotlungs. Ho showed thnt the only instance in which tbey had car rTeslot'l their principle of proscribing foreigners was whenHhev defeated Gen. Shields who had smiled his blood in d u fen co of his adopted country, and elected Trumbull, an abolition Know-Nothing, to tho Senate from the State of Illinois. He showed the complete nfti'iation and identity of the Northern Know-Nothings with the Abolitionists, and completely riddled the anti-Nebraska platform on which Mr. Gilmer stands. He declared ti nt this was the only Southern Stotc where that platform bad been adopted, and even here they seemed to be ashamed of it, for their papers did not publish it. He explained and defend ed the Kansas bill, nnd charged Mr. Gilmer with oc cupying substantially the same ground ss tho Black Republicans nt the North, in his argument to show that the enactment of the Kansas bill wa9 a breach of plighted faith. This notice is already too long or 1 would give more of the points on which Gov. Bragg attacked tint abomination His assault on the dark lanterns was A powerful and able effort, unanswerable by his com petitor or anybody else. The effect of this discussion will be sensibly felt in our favor on the day of elec tion. Knov-Nolhingi8m is dying out and Henderson will give Bragg a decisive majority. Accident. The cars ot a gravel train on the N. C. Railroad, were thrown. from the track, near this place, on Wednesday last, and four negroes were in jured. One has a broken leg, another one broken rib or more, another a dislocated shoulder, and Ibe fourth a flesh wound on the thigh. Some obstruction on the road, supposed to have been placed there by some scoundrel, threw the cart from tho track, on an em bankment. The train was going backwards at the time, and several cars were rolled down the embank ment. There were about twelve negroes on the cars, but only four were hurt.
