But with this hue and cry ojf usurpation, so famil iar to our ears, we arje now tdld, that the logic of the " Standard" was so powerful as to alarm the Gov: ernor"; and that paper says : - We learn ' that he made a promise in the Western part of the Slate, that he would meddle no farther in the business? This, ridiculous absurdity that the Governor -had been so far affected by the sophistry , of that paper, as to abandon what he conceived to be a plain duty, scarcely requires a' refutation ;l and 'it; is difficult to imagine, how the Regiment was to be formed, if he had meddled.no further." r ; f We hhye taken the. trouble to enquire into this matter,5 however," and find that the appointment or election of these Officers was never referred to by the Governor, in aiiy public Address to he People, except his official Prclamationhisjntention whe ther erroneous, or- otherwise having been announced in that document Nor was his right to make these appointments ever questioned ik any public discus sion, in his presence. Thfe Sdars premises, therefore, can hardly have oblained any great publi city. On his journey through the State, at the time when Volunteers were turning but, the appointment of these Officers was naturally atopic of conversation, between him and gentlemen "bf both political parties, especially the Officers of Companies" tbencompfetcd. or in a course of formation. Without any conception of what is relied on, as the foundation of so grave an. accusation, we are authorized to state, that if such an impression, as that now alleged, were made on the mind of any one in these conversations, it was not intended. A determination to postpone action on the subject, until the lottery should be drawn, and the selected Companies ascertained,' was uniformly declared, and a disposition to defer to the wishes of the Company Officers and men, as well as to recom mendations from any other respectable sources, was also avowed but nothing is remembered, tending to induce the belief of a change in the mode of appoint ment. , Gentlemen, from the section of country al luded to, who had ample opportunity to witness the course pursued by the Governor on this point in that region, both in public and private, have been enquir ed of, and this is their recollection also. It is fortu nate, however, that there is better evidence than mere memory, on this charge.' The Proclamation of the Governor, announcing his intentions, and the "Stand ard's" weekly tirades against him on this subject, were seen every where. The Correspondence on file, to and from the Governor, with gentlemen of both parties, in the Western part of the State and else where, since, as well as during and before that tour, wUl show that tenders of service and recommenda tions for these offices, have been made to him, as the appoint ing power, uniformly. If, therefore, any one h s been mistaken or deceived, in the manner impu ted, it has not been those whose gallantry prompted them to tender their services for these appointments. The " Standard" need not trouble himself, in re gard to the views of the Governor's friends, in rela tion to these transactions now past. We are confi dent that upon a fair understanding Of facts there can be no difference between him and them. Should4 this not be the case,, that paper wjll hardly be the exponent of their Opinions. But to those concerned, if there be any such who may.ibe unwilling to be classed in that denomination, we are well assured in saying, that nothing disparaging or discourteous to wards any gentleman who made a tender of his ser vice, has been at any time designed. Our present desire is to correct a misrepresentation of fact j but we cannot forbear to enquire of the c; Standard" why, in his present capacity of lawgiver, he does not bring to the notice of his associates, that law for the elec tion of these Officers, which he so loudly insisted the Governor was violating last Summejr. If such a law then existed, why pass a new one now ? Let him show this, and prevent useless discussion, and has ten what is so much desired, the formation Of the new Regiment. Let him do this, or confess by his silence, that his boasted exposition of the Law, which so ter rified, the Governor, was like his present record of fact, mere idle and unfounded clamor.

The Whigs were evidently notoonvinced. t t-Mr: Graves took two positions, which would seem '? we raicr anragomstic : A.-. 1 it. ... 1st.- He cliarged that thislBill would. secure five J CoagressmeiLtor the Whigs beyond doubt, and very proDaoiy, six. y 2nd. He warned -the 'Whigs that the passage of j this Brll would blowthem sky-high, and reduce them to"a cirenmstalice. A query -miaht very naturally arise, how a ruined party could be able to carry these 'six Districts or even the five. '' Mr. Graves was replied to by Messrs. Wadokia, G&mer, Francis, and other Senators, inmost hand Some style. Mr. Gilmer was anathematizing and pummelling the Gerrymander of 1842, for having given the Democrat six members of Congress and the Whigs only two, when he was interrupted and asked by Mr. Gkaves, if it wasnot a5 well-known and acknowledged fhet, that the Democrats gave themselves only five Districts, which were considered certain, and four-to the Whig There was an ac cidental success of Democracy in the 9th District, now represented by Mr. Big as, which wan not dreamed of by his friends in 1842. Well, said Mr. Gilmer, admitting it to be as the Senator says, that they gave themselves-five? and the Whigs four Dis tricts, I ask the Senator, if, while the Whigs had a majority of some thousands in the State, that, was right? Said Mr. G. " I pause for a reply." Mr-Graves answered, that the Governor's Elec tion of that year -showed that the people desired a y nig Executive, but the election of Members to the Legislature, showed that they desired a Demo cratic influence to prevail in the law-making power. 4 That does not answer my question," said Mr. G. "I ask you is it right, and I pause for a reply.'? Mr. Graves said nothing. No sir, said Mr.-GiL-mer, I knew he would riot auswer my question. . 1 know his candor and truth. He would sooner pluck out his tongue, than allow it to utter a falsehood. And I knew he would not answer. Not . a man on this floor has justified that Act of 1842, by which a clear majority "of several thousands was smothered. ThAJSen&tQE from - Edgecomb has, indjd, told usl A md read from the Journals to prove, that several Whigs voted in its favor. Does ihat Senator mock us ? Does he suppose- that we have forgotten the particulars of that black Act ? Why does he taunt us with this, when nobody knows better than that Senator, that there was another still more abomina ble plan, which many Democrats preferred, by which the Whigs would be sure but of two Districts and that these few Whig vojes were given to save them selves from a still greater wrong. It was a choice of evils, and a bitter choice it was. Daring the Speech, Mr. Gilmer asked the Sena tor from Caswell, if he deemed the Ninth District, now represented by the Hon. Asa Biggs, a Whig District? Mr. Graves replied in the affirmative. Then, said Mr. Gilmer, Asa Biggs has misrepre sented the will of a majority of his constituents, by every vote be has given in Congress, and the Demo cratic party in this Legislature, have endorsed the act, by giving him their votes for the Senate of the United States. What, a beautiful exemplification of Democracy have we here? A Democratic Repre sentative knowingly thwarts the will of a majority of his const iuents, and the great Democratic party ap'plaud him for it, arid endeavor to give him his re ward, &c. . The Democrats looked bad, and evidently wished him to stop. We thought so.mo of the more candid among them would cry oat " Peccatif but -the cry did not come. The vote was finally taken at the hour above sta ted, and the Gerrymander is as dead as a last year's Herring. . CAPITOL SQUARE. The Resolutions for enclosing the Capitol Square, at a cost not exceeding twelve thousand dollars, were called up in the Senate on Saturday last, by Gen. Ehki.ighaus, who advocated the passage of the Resolution in a very neat and appropriate Speech. There.was a want of finish about the Capitol, which was remarked by all Strangers who visit the City. A railing was required to supply this defect It was a shame to allow this noble building to be out in the rvdods as he expressed it. Considerations of safety from -fire, also, required its enclosure so that, it should no. longer be camping ground for waggoners. Mr. Strjeet warmly urged the measure. It was . V i'4 -f 1 i A t i. . A 1 A. a disgrace o tne ouxiamg ana i tne otaie, inus 10 leave it exposed in its nakedness. Mr. Francis,5 who does not often let an occasion pass of goadingdiis adversaries by reminding them of their misdeeds, said it was no more a disgrace now than it was1 in 1842, when' a similar- attempt was made, and without success. It received no favor then, though the State was in a much better condi tion to spire the funds than, she is at present Be sides, the Ssate House had got Used to being alone in the woods since 1842, urid would not care much about waiting a while longer until there might be another Democratic majority in the Assembly, to take a re sponsibility, which they were very willing to throw upon this Whig Legislature. - Mr: Speight, thought' the Square ought to be en closed. It was required as a matter of taste, and safety, but he did not know whether, it would be prudent, in the? present financialr condition of the State, to do it how. - "' ; Mt.

The New Orleans papers of the 12th inst. announce tne death of Francis Xavier Martin, one of the Judgbs of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, at a very advanced age. He was at an early age ap prenticed, a pennyless boy, to the printing business at Newborn, in North Carolina. He subsequently wrote a history of this State, and was a reporter in its Courts;! was afterwards a Judge in Mississippi territory and then of the territory of Orleans ; at a later period Attorney General ' of Louisiana ; and finally a Jadge of its Supreme Court, having written also a histojy. His life has been a long and active otic. 'He left an immen e estate, valued at- a half million of dollars,' which he bequeathed, in a will of five lines, to his only brother, now 65 years of age, and whom the deceased Judge was in the habit of calling " the boy." tr?-During the late annual communication of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, the following Of ficers were elected for the ensuing year : P.

RAYNER AND FLEMMING. For the purpose of showing, how totally regard less of the facts of the case, the Editor of the " Stan dard" is, w)ien they come in conflict with his party views, we subjoin from the Fayetteville "Observer," the following notice of Mr. Ravnkb's reply to Mr. FLEMkras: ' Mr. Rayner turned with terrible severity upon the member from Yancy) (Mr. ? lemming.) who had, withont provocation, assailed -him 'with most gross personalities in his ranting speech -of the Saturday previous. The member from Yancy, bears so indif ferent a character, that Mr. Rayner would probably have declined to notice him, but for the' well known use . to which an unscrupulous Locofoco Press would have perverted his forbearance. Contempt! blei therefore, aa was the subject, Mr. Rayner seems to have felt it his duty to u let the wind out of him," ami reduce him to his original nothingness. And most effectually did he perform that duty. If Dan iel Webster more completely flayed Charles Inger 60H, we are mistaken.

Alas 1 it is at this inclement season the year, when the surly blasts of December render even the heart of avast City a very desert, that, human misery protrudes itself, in all the horrid forms the imagination of man can de pict We go into the street, and the miserable half famished mendicant as he sits at the marble doorway of some merchant prince," or one of the u upper ten thousand," extends his feeble shivering arm in mute supplication for aid rom the careless passers by. The wharves are crowded with myriads of indi gent emigrant just landed, covered with disease, and whole families of them ou the very verge of ac tual starvation, while above and around them howls the relentless storm of wind, rain and snow as if in mockery of their sufferings. Can misery be more poignant than theirs, or humanity be more severely tried, than in their case ? After having braved the perils of the ocean, they set foot upon the land to which, perchance, their eyes have long anxiously tur ned, as the Canaan of their fondest hopes, (and, to their litt le ones the land il flowing with milk and ho ney,") but fiud neither kindred to welcome them, or friends to administer to their wants.

It was only afew days ago a man, his wife, and his two children, were brought there, huddled all up together, upona dray, in acomplete state of starvation.

They were all as near dead as it was possible for the living to be, and want of food was the only cause which had brought them to this miserable state, as it was evident they were nei ther sickly nor intemperate. In answer to all ques tions asked them, their replies were, " we want some bread do give us some bread we will die if you do not give us some bread P As a matter of course, the wants of this unhappy family were attended to, but the utmost caution was necessary in administering their food. When they were seated at the table, the first thing that the mother did was to feed her youngest child, and as she did this, took not a particle herself, but uttered a strange wild laugh : and when the child was made' quite sick bv even a table spoonful of rice, the moth er wept most bitterly, and 3uid "O my child is go ing to die ! 7 Prophetic, indeed, were the words of the agonized mother ! Poor little sufferer, it took farewell of its hopeless and transitory existence this morning. Its mother is mad, and, happily we might say. is thereby unconscious of the bereavement.
