i 1 '" ' " ' COUNCIL OP STATE. The Council of Stat which ; assembled ia this City, on Saturday tot, made the following appoint ments under the advice of His Excellency, the Got-morh-nt: . ,4 v . --7 - Ho William H.

Battle, appointed to the Su preme Court '" ' - . ; . ohkx Faction has produced a bad condition of things in the State of Ohio. The Senate at the last session of the Legislature, passed a bill apportioning the Senators and Representatives of the State. This till was amended in the House of Representatives; but before it could be sent to the Senate, that body was left without a quorum by the withdrawal of Democratic members. The amendments were sub sequently reconsidered in the House, and stricken outfcso as to leave the bill as originally passed by the Senate. The bill Was signed by the officers of the irn hnnsMt. And is now proclaimed to be a law of the State. In thia condition of things, the Demo cratic State Convention has passed Resolutions, " that there is now in existence in Ohio no law, by means of which the State Legislature can be formed and organized after the second Tuesday in October next," and requesting the Governor to call the Leg islature together to provide a law. Other Resolu tions looking to resistance to the law as above pass ed, and to the call of a State Convention, were sLso adopted. . The principle assumed by those who have pro duced this state of confusion, is simply this that the minority shall rule. It appears that the Whigs had a majority in both branches of the Legislature ; and, according to the established principles of our Government they had both the power and the right to enact such laws as they might deem expedient but their political opponents resolved to prevent the exercise of this right, and defeat the will of the people, as expressed through the ballot-box, by with drawing from the Senate and leaving that body without a quorum. This was a high-handed and most unjustifiable measure; ajid should be condemn ed whenever resorted to by either party. If the ex ample set by the Ohio Senators, be followed in oth- er States, there will bean end of Legislative proceed- ings at least where either party can deprive the Senate or House of a quorum by withdrawing from it. In Ohio the effect may be, the renewal of the scenes which agitated Rhode Island scenes which we sincerely trust, will never be witnessed in any other State of the Union. Such is Loco Focoism. CONNECTICUT SENATORS. The Legislature of Connecticut proceeded yester day to elect Senators from the State, the one to sup ply the vacancy existing by the death of the late Senator Huntington, and the other to succeed Mr Niles, (Locofoco,) whose term will have expired on the 4 th of March next. Ex-Governor Baldwin, of New Haven, now holding bis seat by Gov. Blssell's appointment, and the Hon. Tbuman Smith, of Litch field, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Af fairs in the House of Representatives, received a majority of votes, and were accordingly declared du ly elected. They were both the regular nominees of the Whig caucus. SENATOR FROM ARKANSAS. Hon. W R. Sebastiex has been appointed by' the Governor of Arkansas, United States Senator, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the Hon. Chester Ashley. 1 . t roa THE SEGISTEX. TOWN MEETING.

December V7'6 the M Representatives of the Freemen of the State,". (assembled at Halifax) adopted the Constitution un der which yea lived, nntil the Amendments' thereto, recommended by the Convention which met in 1835, were ratified by a majority of Fiv thousand osa HCNDRkLD .AND SIXTY-FIVE ! : ' " ' For years prior to the Convention of 1S35, the harmony, not only of the Legislature, but of the whole State,"was disturbed, and ultimately broken up, by angry" discussions in reference to the policy and justice of amending that Constitution in seve- ral important particulars, i ue mauer v. mcu crea ted most bitterness was the then existing basis of re presentation vi tht legislature. The small Counties sent an equal number of Senators and Commoners, with the larger ones Jones having an equal voice with Orange. "Moat of the small Counties being in the East and the large ones in the West the East and the West were arrayed against each other in excited discussion, hardly any measure coming be fore the Legislature without at once assuming a sec tional character. Thii condition of affairs, checked every tiring like State pride and State Improvements. The bitter fruits which accompany all family quar rels were being fully enjoyed. It was a house divi ded against itself, and wise and patriotic men were brought to the conclusion that if such domestic strife was kept up, it could not stand. Compromises were offered and accepted. A Convention was call ed. It assembled in Raleigh on the 4th day of June 1835. It was composed of men of the highest char acterthe most ardent patriotism the most enlarg ed experience.- If youth was there with its impet uosity or indiscretiou, age stood by to check and guide it, by wise and moderate councils. The pure, learned, and eloquent (jaston the lamented Dan iel the venerable Macon the patriotic JYIeares. Owes, Wilson, and a number of others, all now sleeping (alas! too soon,) with their fathers, but whose influence is yet with us, and whose characters are a part of our inheritance were there. Many still amongst the living, whose wisdom and patriot ism I hope the State will long enjoy, were amongst them. They went up to their great work with a disinterested magnanimity, and a noble spirit of compromise and concession which called forth the heart-felt commendation of all. Though belonging to different political parties which were then much embittered they threw aside all partisan prejudices and looked solely to the good of the State that old Commraonwealtb, whose energies had been stilled, aad whose high character had been brought down by the wrangling and parsimonious policy of her own children ! Need 1 attempt to describe with what deep anxiety all eyes were turned to that Convention? With what overpowering solicitude every true North Carolinian watched its delibera tions, and what earnest prayers went up from all hearts, that they would end in healing the wounds that had been inflicted knitting together our peo ple in bonds of a common brotherhood, harmonizing differences and elevating the character of our State and people, many many, thank Heaven ! are yet 1 1 w i n rr ulift I'liiiw n r rl fall IVicmla tliinfN A wnftorii. I bIe erected in the days of the Revolution rwhica afforded our ancestors shelter and protection during that stormy period, was about to be changed. Some of its apartments, required alteration or en largement, but all dreaded to see its foundations torn up or disturbed. The question, which more than any other had contributed to produce the excitement which pre vailed, and which was approached by the Members of the Convention with the most anxiety and fear, was the basis oj Kepresentation. How the Senatorial Districts should be laid off what number of mem bers the HouSe of Commons should be composed of, and how they should be distributed through the State whether accbrdiug to Federal numbers or white population, were questions of great impor tance. They were discussed with much seal, and with signal ability. AIL the great minds of that distinguished body, participated in the discussion or gave their aid to the adjustment of this question. Men of both political parties were found speaking and voting together, upon the policy and justice of having a property qualification for Senatorial vo ters, there waa great unanimity of sentiments. I trust it will not be regarded by Mr. Rtid, or his flag bearer of the Standard, as a reflection upon their sapiency, to quote from some of the speeches deliv ered on that occasi6n. The Hon. Jesse Speight (but recently a leading Democratic Senator in Congress from Mississippi,) discoursed as follows : "Jn the remarks heretofore made by me, I have endeavored to show: that in the formation of all our State Governments, a primary object has been, the fixing the Seuate on a permanent and solid ba sis, not liable to fluctuation. And in addition I will add, that it is a conservative principle or feature in all well organized Governments to give property a preponderating influence in the one branch, over that of population in the other. These chtcks are as vitally necessary to the maintenance of all free 'Gov ernments, as food and clothing are to tht human system. J hold it to U a truism, that no man ought to be tared for the benrfit of another, tcihout his consent.11 Mr. Mc Queen (from whom the standard has quo ted, but whose sentiments he baa most grossly mis represented) used this forcible language. "air, if a machine has been .universally arranged after a certain manner, and has proved efficient in all its operations, we have a right to infer that its efficiency was the result of that particular plan, and that it would not work as well if arranged in anoth er way. How is the fact in regard to the arrange ment of the Legislative Assemblies of different countries throughout the world, who have lighted up the torch of civil liberty 7 We find, that with out an exception to the rule, .the Senate has, univer sally, embraced a select body of men, as represen ting the interests of property, and that the popular branch of the' Legislature has just as uniformly em braced a more extended sphere of members as rep resenting Jhe interests of public liberty.' Why this uniformity of arrangement throughout the world 7 Have we not the strongest reasons for believing that it has resulted from fixed principles in political sci ence which were deemed essential to the interests of public liberty, and is not the belief confirmed by the fact that this arrangement nas constantly squar ed with the prosperity of every Country in which it has been adopted ?" Judge Gaston declared that, "the necessity of treo Houses of Legislation as checks vpon the haste, impro vidence, sudden impulse and intemperate excitement of either is so vnivtrsally admitted) that it may be regar ded as a political axiom. In the constitution of these two Houses, it is desirable that they should in truth operate as checks that they should not be liable to feeL at the same moment, that impulse or excite ment which leads to haste and improvidence. ' Such a Government is formed for the vurvose of vrotectin persons and property, and mould be inadequate to its end Such appeared to be the general sentiment or the Convention, as far as it was expressed. No one was found attacking this feature of our Constitution. All acquiesced in its conservative character.-The question of representation was compromised set tled. All hailed the result as a harbinger of happi er and more peaceful daya to the people of the State. The ameadments were submitted to the Voters, and they ratified them by a majority of upwards of five thousand. ' Since that time, twelve years have passed there hare been fire Sessions or the Legislature six popular elections for Governor and Members the People have from time to time, assembled an vase numbers to hear political discussions, and not one word of complaint was ever raised against this Constitution framed by the People's representatives, and rati fied by the People themselvea nntil Mr. iUia ana the Standard commenced their attack upon it, under circumstances, too, which deserve the rebuke aad un qualified condemnation of every lover of the peace and quiet of the State, to whatsoever political party he may belong. . since the amendments were adopt ed, we have beard no sectional bickerings so local animosities have been engendered. Both great po litical parties have been true to tht compAaiea of 1835. There has been no East against the West no IFf against the East I . Whatever may Joe said to the contrary, by fault-finding, aad- selfish dema gogies, the character of the Stite has been elevated and its political weight ia 4ba Union increasedV by the fraternal feeling which has been created by the compromises of the Convention which amended the 1 Constitution. Aad are we to be plunged again ia- to tae stormy sea or sectional contention 1 Are we to forget the kind feeling which as North Carolini ans'we have cultivated for years, between all sec tions of the State, and draw off - in angry array of oawie, oiuamg or such men as those Whe have proclaimed ia substance, that yon are too beuighted to frame a Constitution which ought to last a quar ter of a century 1 . Are you prepared to give a blind adhesion to the edicts or principles of men who would have you upturn your Constitution to gratify parti san ends? Iftyou, allow them to begin their tam pering, where will it end ? V v But there is another bright idea of Mr. Heid's, Which may throw some light on the motives that ac tuate those who have begun this assault upon the Constitution. . He rays he is desirous to alter the name of the House of Commons that its present ti tle is too aristocratic as we have' no "Lords we should have no "Commons" Now I. have the au thority of a very great man for believing that a Rose would smell as sweet by any other name. But whe ther this is a good reason for altering the name of the Rose, would ndmit of serious debate. But Mr. Reifs notion is not entirely original I heard of a sapient Clergyman who desired some Legislative en actment, amending the Bible so as to substitute the word 44 Governor1' or "President" for," Lord" and "King," wherever they occurred. He, too, must have borrowed from Cromrrell, who held every thing tlrgaP' in such abhorrence and detestation as to have ordered an " amendment" of the Lord's Pray er, so as to read ever afterwards, ''Thy Common trealth come," instead of " Thy Kingdom come.' Let those who would imitate that celebrated person age, In professions of love for Liberty and hatred of tyranny, take heed, that they do not stumble, acci dentally, at least, intq some of his other peculiarities 1 He began a lover and advocate of the People he ended a usurper and a tyrant! But pray what title would Mr. Reid substitute? Would he give it the ancient name of "Democratic Wittemgemt! ?" But that even would savor of royally. It came all the way from England. ' So did the trial by Jury and Magna Charter. But I have not time to continue these reflections at present. Before Mr. Reid shall have ended his campaign he will be convinced, that the people of this State are not governed by impulse or infttua tion. They are no fanatics uo levellers. They will not pull down without reason, what experience has proved to be a wise aud salutary safeguard to good Government. They are not dupes or madmen, , that they should be prevailed on to upturn a system which but a few years ago, after solemn reflection and full discussion, they ratified by a large majority. They will not suffer their Constitution to be made a hobby for partizan candidates to ride into power upon! They will say to him "We have so far lived happily under, our Constitution it was form ed in the spirit of compromise by wise heads and pa triotic hearts it has secured us the blessings of .do mestic peace and prosperity we have been often ad monished to ht nell enough alone, and inasmuch as we prefer our Constitution without youttoyou with out it, and the blessings it has bestowed, we must look out for some one else to rule over us." In my next, 1 shall continue my comparison of Mr. Rei(Ts public nets and votes with. his present profes sions. I shall speak from the record, and when the investigation is over, I shall challenge his political friends to produce a single rtise measure rrlticU he has originated, or one liberal vote which he has given-! He can't fight under the flag which the Standard has placed in his hands. His whole career will rise up in judgment against it, or there is no truth in bistory. ONE OF-THE PEOPLE. GREENE LOUJMTY. In pursuance of a few days notice, portion of the W bigs of Greene County coa vened at the Court HouseinSnow Hilton Saturday, 29th of April, 18-JS, for the purpose of ratifying the nomination of Charles Manly, Esq., as the candidate of the Whigs for the office of Governor of the State, and to ap point delegates to attend the district Convention to be held in Greenville for the purpose of selecting a delegate to represent this Congressional District in the Wig National Convention to be held in Phil adelphia on the 7th of June next, and nlso for the ap pointment of a Whig elector for the Counties com posing this electoral District. un motion or James Williams, Lsq., the meeting was organized by calling Charles Edwards to the Chair, and appointing Edward Patrick.

Whereas, The County of Greene not having been represented in the Convention that assembled in in the City of Raleigh in February last, .t5 nomin ate a Whig candidate for the Office of Governor of the State of North Curoliua, therefore Resolved, Thttt this meeting do hereby ratify the nomination mode by that Convention aud that the Whigs of Greene do now pledge themselves to use all fair and honorable means to secure the election of Charles Manly Esq., the nominee of said Conven tion, aud we respectfully invite him to visit our County at eueh time during the gubernatorial can vass as may suit his convenience.

Resolved, That our attachment to all the cardinal principles of the Whig party remains uu-ibated, and constituting as they do, (in our firm belief) the vital ity of pure republicanism, nnd the rock upon which national prosperity can only be safely and perman ently founded, the Whigs will never tire in contend ing for their ascendancy. Resohed, That the able, dignified and impartial manner in which our present enlighteued Chief Magistrate, Win. A. Graham, has discharged the responsible duties of his office, meets our unquali fied approbation, aud we tender to him our warm est thanks for his great and unceasing exertions in promoting the Whig cause. Resolved, That the nation possess in Henry Clay, the prudent, the wise, and veteran statesman, " who has maintained the very highest eminence on tho pedestal of fame," and into whose hands, in these times of Executive usurpation and corruption, the office of its Chief Magistracy might be committed in perfect safety to all its great and diversified in terests. Resolved, That the sound sense and known integ rity of General Zachary Taylor, combined with his plain republican simplicity, unequivocally denote his fitness to fill the highest office in the gift of a free people, and constitute a reliable guarantee that, if elevated to the Presidency, the National Govern ment would be administered upou the pure princi ples which constituted the guide of President Wash ingington and the other illustrious fathers of our glorious Federal Constitution. Resolved, That the foregoiug proceedings be sent to the editor of the North State Whig for publica tion, aud that the Newbernian, and Raleigh Regis ter be requested to copy. On motion of James Williams. Esq. the thanks of the meeting were tendered to the' Chairman and Se cretary for the impartial manner in which they dis charged the duties or their respective stations.

This is not considered a test Vote, as several Senators, who' voted irrthe affirmative, stated explicity that they so voted to prevent debate; and not on" the prin ciples involved. " Mr. Johnson resolutions, relating to,Gens7 Pillow and Cushing, were taken up, but, Mr. Johnson being absent, its furihef consideration; at the suggestion of Air. Allen, was postponed to Thursday. The consideration of the Yucatan bill was then resumed, and Air. Dagby addressed the Senate in opposition to the bill. - When? Mr." Bagby had concluded; the question was takan on the amendment of Mr. Jetfejuon Davis, ae modified, eo as to include the preamble of Mr. Iewis, and it was negatived by yeas and nays, 5 b 26". The bill was then, at the suggestion of Mr. Clayion,;passed over until to-morrow, in conse quence of the number of Senators' absent, and with the'general understanding that the final vote shall then be taken. In theJUouse of Representatives, a number of bills, not; of ceneral interest, were reported from committee, and read twice and referred, and some others, before reported, were -read the third time and passed The bill making appropriations for revolution ary and other pensioners, was again under con sideration in committee of the whole, reported to ih House with amendments, the amendments concurred in, and the bill passed. Senate bill explanatory of the act to raise for a limited tune an additional military force, and tor other purposes, was read the third time and passed, with an amendment, and returned to the Senate. : . The House receded from its amendments to Senate mil amendatory of the act relating to the trankingi privilege, arid to reduce the rates of postage and the bill accordingly etands passed. The bill making appropriations for navy pen sions was under consideration in committee of the whol but the committee rose without coming to any conclusion, and the House adjourned. In the-Senale, on May 17, the bill to amend the act to raise for a limited time an additional military force, and for other purposes, continu ing their boun'y lands to officers promoted from the ranks, was taken up, and the amendments of the House concurred in. So the bill stands passed. ; The consideration of tho Yucatan bill was then resumed, the question being on, an amendment offered by Mr. Dix at the close of yesterday's sesion, authorising the President to ue the ar my and navy of the United Slates for the protec tion of Yucatan, with the consent and approbation of her authorities. Mr Djx said he had not intended to make any remarks or? his substitute, had it been understood that the 'debate was not to be continued Bui so many, inquiries had been addressed to him in regard to the character of this substilue, thathe felt called'upon to make some explanation. Mr. Hannegan. at the close of Mr. Dix's speech, fose .and said that since the commence ment of ihe Senator's remarks, he had received information, in addition to that which appeared in the Baltimore Sun of this morning, which, though from a private source, satisfied him that a treaty had been entered into between the white and Indian population ol Yucatan, which might render any interference on our part unnec essary. !;For thia reason he felt it to be his duty not to press the. vote on the bill to-day, and lie would therefore move that it be passed by in lormally. After some further remarks by Messrs. Under wood, Foote, Hannegan, Niies, and Houston, the bill was informally passed over, and the Senate adjourned. In the House of Representatives, the conside ration of the annual navy pension bill was then resumed in committee of the whole ; as Was also the annyal appropriation bill for the service of the Pos Office Department and after debate the first mentioned was reported to the Houes. without .amendment, and passed. On the other, the comjnithje came to no conclusioa. After (some further business, not important, the House adjourned. After the transaction of some business unim portant n the main, the Senate on May 18, pro reeded to consider the resolution offered some time since by the Senator from Maryland, (Mr. fL Johnsom) calling on the President of the U. States fpr his reasons for withholding from the Senate certain nominal ions. Mr. Allen opposed the resolution as unneces sary and improper. He spoke upwards of two h urs orj the subject, and in reply to the speech of Mr. Johnson. The resolution was then informally passed over. Qn motion, the Senate agreed to adjourn from Monday next, over to the ensuing Thursday. On Mr. Hannegan'8 motion the Senate held an executive Session, and afterwards odjourned. The House of Representatives, was engaged most of ithe morning, on unimportant business, when it got through With the morning business, a motion was made and agreed to, that the House i.'0 into Committee of the Whole for the purpose of considering the Appropriation Bills. The Bill providing for expenditures in the Post Office Department was taken up; several amendments were offered to the bill, which gave rise to much discussion. Without definitive ac tion on the bill, the committee rose and the House adjourned. In the Senate, on May 19, a message was re ceived from the President of the United States, communicating a report of the Secretary of War, in relation to the Cherokee treaty, and the ap. propriatbns necessary for carrying if into effect.

There can be no mistake upon this subject ; so we must then also con vinced that any thing which impedes the circulation, of the blood must depress ot bear down the principle of Life, and make the. body subject to receiva injury from the principle of corruptibility also implanted in in the human frame.

And it is only by due attention in some bodies that health can be secured by artificial modes of assisting tbe functions ot life to throw off the occasional accumulations of corruptibility, which otherwise would overpower the principle of Jife, before tbe individual had reached tof the full period of his existence, according to theprini ciple ot life within bim For, in order that , men" should arrive at that period of life called old age, a -perfect balance must exist between the principle of ; life and the principle of corrupttbilty.

Now, to' accomplish this, we must prevent an accumulation of those hu mos which bear down the principle of life. Do not wait for an attack of sickness, but on the first appear ance of the enemy assist natare in her operations to expel him from tbe body. This ia the object always' attained by those who use Bbabdheth's Pills. Thousands who have kept their beds for years have been restored by the use of this medicine.'
