As soon as he came up. they accosted him with " Your ser vants, sir V" He replied, ' Your servant, gen tlemen." They asked him if he had not been (reaching against drunkenness very much of late! le answered in the affirmative. They then told him thev had a favor to beg of him, and it was that he would preach a sermon to them there, from a text they should choose, lie argued that it was an imposition, for a man ought to have some consideration before preaching. They said they would not put up with a denial, and insist ed upon his preaching immediately (in a holluw tree, which stood by the road side,) from the word MALT. He then began, "Beloved, let me crave your attention. I am a little man come a short distance to preach a short sermon from a short text to a thin congregation in an unworthy j pulpit Beloved, my text is Malt I cannot divide it into sentences, there being none ; nor inte words, three being but one ; I must therefore divide it into letters, which I find in my text to be these four, MALT.

There it was, on a little river island, that once, whether sleeping or waking we know not, we saw celebrated a Fairy's Funeral. First we heard small pipes playing, as if no bigger than hollow rushes that whisper to the night winds : and more piteous than aught that thrills from earthly instrument was the scarce audible dirge ! It seemed to float over the stream, every foam bell emitting a plaintive cote, till the airy an them came floating over our couch, and then alighted without footsteps among the heather. The pattering of little feet was then heard, as if, living creatures were arranging themselves in order, and then there was nothing but a more or dered hymn. The harmony was lijte the melting of musical dew-drops, and sang, without words, of sorrow and death. We opened our eyes, or rather sight came to them when closed, and dream was vision ! Hundreds of creatures, no taller than the crest of the lap-wing, and all hanging down theirVveiled heads, stood in a circle on a green plat among the rocks ; an&in the midst was a bier, framed as it seemed with flowers un known to the Highland hills ; and on the bier a Fairy, lying with uncovered face, pale as the lily, and motionless as the snow. The dirge grew fainter and fainter, and they died quite away ; when two of the creatures came from the circle, and took their station, one at the head and the other at the foot of the bier. They sang alter nate measures, not louder than the twittering of the awakened wood-lark, before it goes up the dewy air, but dolorous aud full of the desolation of death. The flower-bier stirred ; for thavspot on which it lay sank down, and in a few moments the greensward was as smooth as ever the very dews glittering above the buried Fairy. A cloud passed over the moon ; and, with a choral lament, the funeral troop sailed duskily away, heard alar on, so still was the midnight solitude of the gleaThen thou returhest at shut of day, cheerfuteVen in thy weariness, to thy ground cell within the knoll, where as Fancy dreams the Fairies dwell a Silent People in the Laud of Peace.

Mr. Wise the distinguished aeronaut made an ascen sion from Carlisle, Pa. at-half past two o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday last, and descended at five o'clock on the same afternoon near Lancas ter, a distance of fifty four miles, which he pas sed over in two hours and a half. He was towed into Lancaster by an immense crowd of persons, and standing in his car returned the cheers with which he was saluted, by continual bowing with hat in hand. ' But .the most daring portion of Ibis adventure was yet to come; upon arriving at Centre fequare, he divested himself ot eireTy particle of his clothing except his pantaloons, and detaching the cat from the balloon to make the weight as light as possible, took his seat on a 'narrow board attached to the cords of the balloon, and giving the signal of " let go," shot away like an arrow from the bow, and nearly in a straight line, leaving behind him hundreds who were amazed at the singular boldness of the daring feat He ascended, nearly a mile, and was fast fading from sight, when ha began to descend, and actually alighted about two squares from the plae4tf starting. Phila. Sentinel. . ATotjchino Incident occurred during the hold ing of the inquest noticed in yesterday1? National Intelligencer, which is illustrative of the fidelity and sagacity of the Canine species. A fine dog, the 'fond companion and almost constant follower of the drowned boy during his lifetime, had, un perceived by? the family, crouched himself dir ectly tinder the stand on which lay the dead body of the poor little fellow. On some slight motion of the sheet which was thrown over the corpse, the dog, which lay still and motionless on the floor, was perceived by the father of the deceased.

Poor thin?e I' NORTIIrCAROLINA MANUFACTURES: ' No on can have overlooked the complete re volution in 'the trade in Cotton Yarns' effected within a few years by the establishment of Fac tories in onr own State. Up to the year 1836, immense quantities of that article of, a very in ferior quality, were brought to this State from the North. In that year, the first successful expend ment was made in establishing a Factory in this place, and immediately so superior was its fabric, the importation ceased.' Then followed otheft establishments, until, instead of a large purchas er, our State was not only supplied at home, but a very large quantity has been annually exported. The next step was to manufacture sheetings and shirt ings, osnaburgs and bagging ; and here again, skill, united with a laudable determination to make the fabric not seem to be, but to be in re ality, good, has acquired a reputation for North Carolina goods, second to none in the whole country. It is a little singular, however, that this reputation is as yet greatest in the Northern Cities and Western States where people make a more careful examination as to the capacity tar service, than is usually made in the South ; and that comparatively a small portion of these fabrics is sold at home, whilst they are in great demand abroad. A day seldom passes without bringing to some of the. Factories in this Town applica tions for consignments to some of the first Commission Houses in New York, Phila delphia and Baltimore. And it is a fact, that on one day of last week, no less than five such appli cations were received by the President of one concern, from Philadelphia and Baltimore. These represent the sheetings manufactured here as be ing much inquired for, and the writers as being willing either to purchase or receive on sale. Unfortunately, the prices of all goods have been so low for several years, that little or no profit has accrued to the proprietors ; but they have estab lished a reputation which will be of good ser vice whenever business revives, as we believe it is now gradually doing. In this town and vicinity there are six Fac torics viz The Rockfish, which cost about ' 8127,000 Phoenix, 60,000 Beaver Creek, 60,000 Little River, 30,000 Mallett's, 40,000 Cross Creek, 30,000 In all, about $347,000 The stout brown sheetings manufactured by the three first named are well known. The fourth has just commenced weaving a very strong and heavy osnaburgs, (weighing half a pound to the yard,) and the two last make yarn only. We would be glad to see more of these goods' consumed at the South ; but it is to be regretted, that by far the larger portion goes to the North, there to be sold to those who reject their own flimsy stuffs, (which Southern people buy.) An immense amount of profits aud commissions, each way, would be saved to the South, if the South would encourage its own manufactures. FayetterUle Observer. tT There is so much of the quiet, the exquisite humor of Goldsmith, in the following picture, that we feel as if we were honoring the memory of that most delightful writer, by holding it up for the amusement of our readers. It is from the Pennsylvanian. " We pique ourselves upon not suffering po litical prejudices to warp our judgment in other particulars ; and . we, therefore, do homage to merit wherever it may be found ; on which ac count we have always been clear for 'justice to John Tyler.' Nor have we confined justice' to him alone ; on the contrary, it .has been our en deavor, also, to mete out justice to ' John Jones,' and to accord to the Madison ian every praise which of right appertained to it For we like John Jones. Dull and dusty would be the paths of Journalism, were it not for the grassy and re freshing greenness of Mr. John Jones. He is our timothy and our clover. It is not Chat the Madisonian is witty, or very argumentative, or very profound. Such qualities would be out of place in the Court Journal. There is no wit in Tylertsm ; its position admits not of argument ; and profundity would be over its head and ears. If, therefore, its organ' were any wiser, it would be spoiled for its position the characteristic grace would be gone. It would notbe an adequate and faithful representative of the Administration ; but as it stands at present, every thing is in har mony and true proportion. . The Madisonian is Mr. Tyler, and Mr. Tyler is the Madisonian, more perfect in unity than the Siamese twins a coincident simplicity unparalleled in political experience. It is a picture beautiful to contem plate. The Madisonian says that Mr. Tyler is a great man, and Mr. Tyler says "yes, John ;" the Madisonian asserts that Mr. Tyler is " the most popular President since Jefferson," and Mr. Ty ler thinks " there cannot be a doubt of it, John." Mr. Tyler is of opinion that never President had such an organ, and Mr. Jones says that never organ had such a President : and it is a fact that both are in the right" sure such a pair was never seen.""

The object of the meeting being explained by James T. Littlejohu, on mo tion, John C. Taylor, John R. Herndon, Jeremy Hilliard, Horace L. Robards and James T. Little john were appointed by the Chair, a Committee to draft Resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. The Committee, having retired for a short time, reported, through James T. Lit tlejohn, the following Preamble and Resolutions, which being read were unanimously adopted : Whereas, we have learned with much pleas ure that, at a meeting of the Whigs of Orange held on the 25th ultimo, Henry K. Nash Esq. of said County, was unanimously nominated as the Whig candidate to represent this district in the next Congress of the United States. Therefore Resolved, That we concur in the nomination of Henry K. Nash, Esq. as a suitable person to run as the Whig Candidate for this District ; believing him to be eminently possess ed of all the qualifications necessary to represent the District at this important period, and which have been so well expressed in the Resolutions reported at said meeting. Resolved, That we regard the present condition of the country as one of deep interest ; and be lieving that the triumph of Whig principles is the only means by which its prosperity can be res tored, we therefore pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to secure the election of the said Henry K. Nash, Esq. Resolved, That a Committee of three be ap pointed to invite Mr. Nash to attend our public gatheringsjpnd address the people. (Under the last Resolution the Chair appointed John C. Taylor, John R. Herndon, and James T. Littlejohn.) Wm. L. Allen introduced the following Reso lutions which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we have the utmost confidence in the ability, integrity and patriotism of Henry Clay of Kentucky, and believe that should he be elected President of the United States, he will administer the government upon the principles contemplated by its founders. Resolved, That the present deranged state of the Currency and finances of the country require some financial agent to be furnished for their res toration ; and we believe that a Bank of the Uni ted States is the only measure which can act as this general restorer. , 'JAMES GOOCH, Ch'm. Hamilton Hester, Sec'ry. THE WHIG PARTY. Never were the prospects of the Whig Party so well founded, so brilliant and so certain as now. We should regard it as a poor triumph which, like that of 1840, did not elect HENRY CLAY! If we cannot effect this, let us effect nothing, and let us regard ourselves as a defeated . and vanquished party. It is not that Mr. Clay is in dispensable to our principles, but his election is to give us the evidence and the earnest of popu lar opinion being on the Whig side. The man we could do without, but so well with nobody else : the evidence that the People have return ed to their common sense, and to sound principle, is indispensable to the vital interests of this country. Mr. Clay will be elected next year by the most overwhelming vote that any candidate for the Presidency ever yet got As to the result, we fear nothing. What we feel solicitude about is the vote of Virginia. That vote is an extremely nice matter, and a hair's weight may carry it either way. No other State in the Union is so closely divided, or by lines which it is so difficult to break through. Let five hundred good Whigs each make this promise to himself: I will convert one Locofoco before November, '44 : let him do this, and the thing is accomplished. There is not now, from our statistics, one thousand majority all told, against the Whigs in Virginia. Overcome one thousand votes in 80,000, and old Virginia is Whig and will vote for Henry Clay in 1844. We believe she will do it in ay event: but change a thousand votes, and the thing is certain ! We call upon the Whigs to be up and doing. They can easily accomplish this. Richmond Whig. Hillsborough, June 8. The Canvass. Messrs. Daniel and Nash, the two Candidates for Congress in this District, ad dressed a considerable number ' of the People of Orange in this place on Tuesday last They oc cupied the wholepvening in the discussion of the great questions which agitate the country. We believe we havejfever seen a dehate conducted with better feeling ; and all parties seemed plea sed at the close. General Daniel proposed to continue the discussion on the subject of a Bank of the United States on the morrow, which was agreed to by Mr. Nash. The questions in debate were, the Tariff, a Bank of the United States, the Expenditures of Government and the Presidency. Upon the sub ject of a Tariff, both were agreed as to the neces sity of having one sufficiently large for raising a revenue for the support of the Government Mr. Daniel, however, runs into the ultra views of Mr. Calhoun, "free trade," and consequently direct taxation. Mr. Na6h presented this portion of his subject in a very forcible light. He would not have a Tariff for protection, but simply for reven ue ; and in. laying it as Patriots and Statesmen, they should give incidental protection. This was all the protection that was needed all that was desired. Mr. Nash succeeded in drawing Gen. Daniel out on the subject of the Presidency. He de clares Mr. Calhoun to be his first choice, and Mr. Van Buren his second choice. He is "a Calhoun man, a Van Buren man, a Johnson man, a Cass man or for any one who can defeat-Henry Clay." An opponent very jocularly remarked, when he heard this expression, "Yes, he is any body's man to be a Congressman !" Recorder. In a paper entitled Forensic Eloquence, in the last number of the Knickerbocker, there are some good things fjpr example : Mode of obtaining the good-will or Juries. "The connivances of counsel to obtain the good will of the jury are sometimes very ingenious and amusing. It was said by an eminent lawyer in one of the Eastern States when speaking of a learffed brother, that the latter had the advantage of him in one respect He was in the habit of using tobacco, and, when engaged in his argu ment would turn to some prominent juryman who was a lover of the weed, and in an off hand, family way, ask him for a quid. The juryman, flattered at finding such a similarity of tastes and habits between himself and the dignified counsel, would follow the example, and the good impres sion made on his mind was not unfrequently trans ferred from the advocate to his cause. Even so eminent an orator as Patrick Henrv did notdis dam to have recourse to vulgar phrases and vul gar modes of pronunciation, to gain the fcvor able ear of the illiterate ; and Miss Martineau relates that Webster, at the trial of the Knapps, made careful inquiries inte the dispositions and pursuits of those to whom he was about to speak" NEvV CONSOLIDATED LOCOFOCO CREED. : The South Carolina Democracyheaded, very fitly, by the Db Trkveli-es, the Ruetts, .k- fl a tkts. the Baenweixs the Givews, k r?n..u una tho Stttart8v-and others of usi v w ak " t : . ., tho ariatoeracv have lately held a cel ebration of their principles at the town of Rpanfort: and scorning, apparentlyt r,y longer to accept cut-and-dry confessions of faith manufactured by the patent maenmcry of the "Northern man with Southern prin ninlfis." thev announce a grand compound. combined, universal, self-regulating creed of their own, in the following words : The Democratic Republican party of the Union ' is united on the principles of free trade low duties no debt- separation from banks economy re- trenchment and a strict adherence to the Couslitu- lion, which implies all the rest" Here, then, is a high authoritative de claration of the Jfjadinff, the capital princi ples of the great "Republican Democracy," whether Northern or Southern, Federal, Rad teal, Locofoco, Aristocratic, Agrarian, Tar iff, Free Trade, State Rights, Consolidation, Jackson, Anti-Jackson, Whig, Tory, Union ists, Nullifiers, Latitudinarians, Strict-con-structionists, Levellers, Slave-holders, Bank ites, Charterbreakers, Masons, An ti masons, Proclamationists, Expungers, or any of the rest of the aliases, of a party of which popu lar names.' have ever been the most guiding principle and selfish power the main aim. We are, then, to understand that the De mocracy of Pennsylvania and-of New En gland have adopted, as well-settled party purpose, the principle of free trade. What says the iron interest to this ? Is coal har monious? What thinks the salt interest of New York ? What the fisheries of the North ? What the lead of Missouri ? What the su gar of Louisiana? What the hemp of the West? What the navigating interest in general ? 44 Low duties" is the next point of faith. Does this mean the low duties of the " Bill of Abominations," for which all the leading members of this free trade party (except Mr. Calhoun) voted in 1828, viz. Messrs. Van Buren, Benton, Buchanan, Wright, Wood bury, R. M. Jehnson? Does it mean Gen eral Jackson's " Judicious Tariff," protect ing all the great articles necessary to ren der us independent of foreign nations? Or docs it, according to Mr. Calhoun's last the ory, forbid all but the lowest rate of duties, horizontal, perfectly equal on articles? It must be the last, clearly, from the quarter selected to be the organ of proclaiming these high truths to the earth. No debt" is the next axiom ; and comes with an unspeakable grace from a party which setting out in 1837 with a balance in the Treasury of many millions, and reve nues larger than they have ever been since, in four years spent it all, leaving its succes sors an ascertained debt of from six to twelve millions, large outstanding claims since set tled, a dilapidated revenue, and a ruined credit. "Separation from banks" is the next pos tulate ; and must include not only the Uni ted States Bank, (the offspring of Mr. Cal houn's own loins,) but Gen. Jackson's great Constitutional Bank of fifty millions capital, the Pet Bank system, the Van Buren Safety -Fund scheme, all State Banks, and every thing, in short, but the Bentonian sub-Treasury ; for the solidity and the beneficence of which we beg leave to refer its admirers to the people at large, or to the Tylerian portion of the Locofoco party, who treat it as " obsolete." 44 Economy" is the next great maxim a word, no doubt, meant to convey a most de finite idea that of an annual Van Buren expenditure of full thirty-five millions. Item. 44 Retrenchment" of the same fashion. Or perhaps it means those of which Swarlwout and Hoyt were the agents, and Messrs. But ler and Woodbury the supervisors ; or the .thrift in Indian contracts and in the post office ; or the parsimonies of the Florida war. All these and more,however, are included in the magic sentence, " A strict adherence to the Constitution" that is, Proclamation, 44 taking the responsibility," substituting (the will of one man for the willof the Peo pie, martial law, promises io hang Southern gentlemen under the second section, and, subsequently, all that made Mr. Calhoun dilate upon the crimes of " a party of rogues .and royalists," kept together .4 by the cohe sive force of public plunder." Aaron Burr's style of Speaking." 41 Of all the eminent lawyers of this country, Aaron Burr was most distinguished for his power of conden sation. Even when replying to a speech of Al exander Hamilton (no illogical reasoner) which had occupied near six hours in its delivery, he spoke only for an hour and a half. He never sa crificed his logic to his rhetoric. Metaphors, similes, and illustrations," of all kinds, he unspar ingly rejected, when they contributed nothing to the force of his argument In every thing he said he aimed at an energetic brevity. Strike out a single word from one of his sentences, and, like an arch that has lost its keystone, the whole fabric falls. It may, indeed, be questioned wheth er he did not carry his love of brevity to excess, and did not fall into the error of clothing-his thoughts in so plain and unadorned a dress as to render them distasteful to uncultivated minds."
