WHIGS OF NORTH CAROLINA!
AWAifi. . Arouse ! This is no time for apathy, or
the iudulgence of ease and security ! The enemy is
iplhe field the same insidious foe, against whom
we so gallantly and manfully contended a short
Iwrlve month ago. They come flushed with the
conquest of victory and though, fraudulently and
ignobly obtained notwithstanding the ballot-box, the
p-eat couservator of popular rights, has been desecra
tedalthough the elective franchise, a right inesti
mable aitd ever to be cherished by every son of free
dom, has been trampled on, disregards! and openly
violated although law, order and the Constitution,
the great bulwafks of our National Independence
and safety, have been irreverently polluted and de
filed by them yet again they come! clothed in the
purple robes of power, and with a " by authority"
coat of mail, again to endeavor to revel over the down
fall and prostitution of our Constitutional and sacred
privileges. Shall we sit, and silently see tills work
of profauation and disgrace consummated, without
striking for our Country and oar cause ? No .' NO !
Let us then buckle on our armor, and valiantly and
eagerly enter into the contest. By all the injuria
which our common cause haasustained in the name
of the Constitution, which is a tower of strength by
the memories of departed Patriots and Siires by your
love of Country, and by your veneration for Justice
nd Right, we iuvoke you to bestir yourselves, and
strike again for our cause and our conutry.
As ever before, our adversaries are lavish of prom
ises, never to be redeemed ; but we trust the rwop'e
f North Carolina are too wide awake, not to profit
by the lessons of experience. These changes have
been rung npon our ears too often, to now delude.
Recollect, they told us, that the JVi'was an un
juttnnd oppressive iurdkn upon the People of North
Carolina, and asked us to giva them our support, tin t
they might relieve us of this onerous and cruel taxa
tionyet when they got into power, thex utterly re
fused l allor one iota of its provisions, but dropped it
precisely where the " rascally Whig" had left it.
Can we then, believe them sincere in the great hue
nd cry made on this subject ? No. The conclusion
it inevitable, that either their design is grossly to de
ceive ihe People, or, that they are incompetent to
the task of affording. the relief which, according to
their doctrine, justice so loudly demands.
They inveighed most vehemently against the Pro,
ieripiite policy, and indignantly denounced the short
Whig reign of one month under On. Harrison !
And, the newly elected President, in his Inaugural,
sang a most patriotic requiem over the hnuest defeat
ad, averring trial their principles and opinions were
entitled to respect. But the words are scarcely out
of his mouth, before a system Of proscription for opin
ion's sake is put in operation, alike atrocious and un
paralleled. Neither faithfulness, capacity or honesty
re sufficient recommendations in the eyes of the
great exalted." " Does he bow the knee to Baal ?'"
lhat b the question ; if not " OfT with his head."
But it is needless to enumerate. There is not a
ingle promise (except perhaps the takine in "of Texas)
that has been redeemed. They come now, however,
in the panoply of power and in the regal splendor of
state, and with the iron heel of despn'ic sway they
would crush every barrier to their dangerous ambition
nd lofty aspirations. And what have the people of
North Carolina to hope from such a dynasty ? No
thing utterly nothing .'
The good People of North Carolina bave never yet
worshipped at the shrine of the " golden fi;'" Her
hmest yeomanry are too pure and patriot .r to ' con
taminated by the filthy lucre which buys up tome
men's consciences too ardent and unfaltering in
their devotion to liberty, to be entrapped in the gaudy
meshes-of. power anJ place. While our sister Elates
on the North and South, aided in the elevation of
James K. Poi.k, the man of an hour, the mere de
pendant npon another's fame, over the illustrious
Statesman and profound Sage of Ashland, yet, (hank
Heaven, the good old North State still maintained
ber integrity, and in that memorable contest, stood
like an oasis ill the desert, a proud and lofty specla
ele; on whose elevated and sun-lit dome the weary
Patriot may cast hia eyes with uumingled pride aud
delight.
But there is Vet something lor us to do. In less
Than two weeks we will be called upon to select
men to represent us in the Councils of the Nation.
In ttery District, the Whigs have good meu and true
in the field men who will truly reflect-the wishes
and principles of their constituents. Khali)! we elect
them 1 that is the question. " We eon if we win."
Let M resolve (hat we WILL !
In this District, the VV higi have s champion of
Whom they may well be proud ; and by prompt, vi
goroua and active measures, the Metropolitan Dis
trict of iiorth Caroliaa may be redeemed from the
thraldom of Loco Foco domiuieu. Let every man do
h duty J let u show to oar opponents, that we are
lit to eu. country's interests, and that We are
determined to use all honorable means in our power,
to rescue this District from (heir ruinous grasp.

a " fluttering among the pigeons," as the last "Stand

the party, bytho time the Election comes off?

THE AMERICAN REVIEW.
TV July number of this Whig Periodical ia before
number, creditable la the Editors, honorable to
the Whig party, and to American Magazine Liters- i
turo. It is the first number of a second votarne, and
contains a satisfactory introductory xjsm from the
Editors, of its present position aud future ainse. ... The
second article, " Political Abolitionism," though brief. .
is capital, and deals Jamks G. Biascr and his allies.;
some stalwart blows. The other articles, of whien
there are number, are rather literary than political.
There ft an interesting sketch of the life and charac
ter of John Jav, and a spirited article headed "Mar
shal McDonald." " The Poets aud Poetry of Eng
land by Mr. Whipn.. is written with great force
and taste. An Ejsay, by Joii QuiNcr Adams, sly.
led Society aud Civilization, i, we think, rather dull
and prosy But as a whole, this number of the Rr
view ia one of high order, and bids fair te enliat troops
of friends. r i
tr In the discussion of the Tariff Question by Mr.
Hauohton, on Saturday last, we were peculiarly
struck by his illutratiuof ihc benefits of (he Protec
tive policy in case of war. His remark that it was
not wise policy to depend upon a foreign nation to
supply us with food and clothing in such an event, is
a lesson'which we dearly learned in the late war with
Great Britaiu. It taught us how much we still de
pended upon the mi ther country, for even the sup
plies we needed to carry on lhat war. Suppose the
fostering hand of protection had never been extended
to American manufactures, what would now hnve
been our situation, in the eveut of a war wilh Eng
land ? Suppose we f (iff depended upon that Imperi
ous nation for our supplies, would not that be a wea
pon in her hands against us? When she sees us
strong and ff-depeidetit, with nothing to fear from
the withholding of the goods of all the nations of ihe
earth, do we not present a mure formidable front to
her, and is she not iie to treat us more respectfully
than she. otherwise would T When we ourselves see
that all we eat, aud all wo wear, lhat our guns, and
munition, and all we use in any way, abundantly
produced at home, and cannot be cut off liy the ene
im's shins upon the sens, are tre not more powerful
w,thin ourselves do we not far stronger do we
not oio we are, beyfllid alt calculation, more inde
pendent than if we relied upon foreign markets ? The
Tariff, Ihen.is ettentia'. to us, because without it, we
are not truly independent, aud are exposed to great
perils and deprivations.
JT The "Standard" culls Chatham, "a proud,
intelligent and patriotic Cnunly." H'e endorse the
eulogy, but what will the " Standard" say of it af
ter the Election ?
Mr. RIVES AND TIIF. RAIL KOAP.
The Petersburg Hull Road Company have entered
into a contract wilh Mr. Uivxs, the Proprietor of a
portion of the Portsmouth Road, by which lie is to re
ceive a certaiu sum of money, as lonjr as his part o!
the Road is not used fur travel or transportation. The
' Inteliigenrer," however, continues flatly lo deny.,
that thr' was any understanding between Mr. Jin-e
and the Petersburg Company, prior to his purchase
under Execution.
WIDE AWAKE, THOUGH SLEEPY.
The " Standard" says, a Whig went to sleep,
while Mr. Hauohton was speaking on Saturday
last. We have seen the oblivious Whig, who ' con
fesses the corn." He buys, he waited until Mr. H.
took his text, aud divided his subject, when finding
him perfectly sound, aud all right, he knew he could
hup it ill safety. He says, however, he will be wide
awake on the 7lh of August.
v ORDINATIO.V.
On the 7lh Sunday after Trinity, (July Cth,) in
Iminaiiuel Church, New Castle. Del., Bishop Lr.i
admitted to Ihe order-of Deacon, Mr. Andrkw r.
Frkfjias, an alumnus of Ihe General Theologies'
Seminary, and son of the Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Ar
kansas. Morning Prayers were read, and the candi
date presented by the Rev Thomas Ikuor, Rector
of the Church, and the Sermou preached by Bishop
Lik, from Acts iv. 3G.
In the afternoon. Mr. Frrfman read Trayers an !
preached, and the Bishop confirmed three persons.
SUDDEN DEATHS FROM HEAT, &c.
The number of sudden deaths in New York is un
usually large. The Post says it makes one melan
choly to walk through the public thoroughfares in the
latter part of the afternoon, to fee the large number
of fuiieral-proeessioiis continually passing along. More
than a dozen persona were carried to the dead house
on Wednesday, most of whom were sun struck or al
fected by drinking cold water. During the week, no
less than thirty sudden deaths have occurred.
U" Mr. Sumnk.r. in hu late Oration in Boston,
among other statements said : There has been pan!
for Ha'vard College during its existence, the sum of
teien hundred and three thnumnd dollars ; while the
V. S. .Ship Ohio, as she now is. has cost eight hun
dred and thirty-four thousand dollars. The College
is maintained at an annual expense of !'?5,h00 and
the Ohio at 22,000, and he asks, which of the two
caskets would a civilized, and especially a Christian
people, prefer.
FIFTEEN DAYS IATER FROM EUROPE
We have accounts from London and l,iv-rpoil.
brought by the Atlantic sttumship Eritaunia, which
arrived at Boston last Saturday morning. Her com
mercial news is extremely favorable. Cotton had
advanced slightly m price, and was in brisk demand.
The sules were large, averaging six thousand bales
per day, and the demand throughout the manufactu
ring districts continued, while the work meu were all
employed, and additional hands sought from the sea
board and the agricultural towns. Money w as abun
dant, the share market very buoyant, and the deter
mination of Pennsylvania to pay the interest of her
debt had induced a better feeling in all 'American se
curities, Massachusetts bonds, as usual"; taking the
lead in quotations.
Liberal Ikqt'EsTs The Hon. Dirvel Wal
do, of Worcester, Massachusetts, who died sud
denly last week, left by his will to the McLean
Asylum the munificent-bequest of $40,000 ; to
the Massachusetts General Hospital, $! 0,000;
to the Amer.can Bourd of Fore:(j'n Mission,
$4(),Ofj0; to the Colonization rnimo, $10,000.
The whole amount of his charitable bequest is
abou'l 8300.000.

Departed this life, atie residence of her husband,
ihe Hon. M. T. Ilawkint, in Warreu County, on Fri
day morning, Ihe 27lliuT June, Mrs. P. ,M. Hawkins,
in lbs lilltli year of her age.
Mrs. H. was afflicted dnringlast Spring with Paral
ysis, from which she had partially recovered, when,
just one week before her demise, and whilst she was
unending to those domestic duties to which she was
so much devoted, and for w hich she was so eminently
ipiahfied, she was suddenly stricken duWu with lhat
Xutiil serond uttuck which so few survive, und which
hurried her fr,nn the presence of so many loved ones
on earth, tn an association with kindred spirits in Hea
ven. He who thus feebl y attempts to sketch the vir
lues of the deceased, would resign Ihe mournful ts-k
lo an ab'er pen. Although, not in Ihe slightest degree
reluled to her. his hearl bleed, whilst he offers to her
mem -try 'his huuihle tribute of titled ionate regard.
Mrs. Hawkins possessed, in a high degree, the rare
talent of adapting bersell to any company into whictl '
she wus thrown ill. her luteicoii'se Willi ihu world
Her fusoinatine, manner and nut -iieiil conversation
rendered her alike ucceitable lo the most ta'ented of
ihe Metropolitan circles, unit tn the humblest neigblKir
around her. All, all greatly esteemi d llie qualities
n li tr Ii adorned her life ; anil all deeply deplore the
loss ivlirch society hasutMiited in her de- But it
was lo her unpretending piety lhat she a'u.. i.idebled
fo,r thiise graces which so elevated lu r niiti.r". und
winch so eiideured her lo ihe hearts of al n knew
her ; for, " lo Alitor her was, indeed, lo luxe her."
I hiring her illness, the rich and the poor seemed to
vie with each other in hastening lo lierbcitide, and
in iiiuiisicrii g lo her d ing wauls. How irreparable
is the loss w Inch llie latter class in thill neighborhood,
have -ulfi-rt-d iu her death !. Following the example
ol lhat blessed Stniinir whie-n disciple she was, aud
w hunt -he w is ool ': nshiiii tn confess before men,"
