The result of the Elections in this State, for Gov ernor and Members of the Legislature, gives cause for bitter and serious reflection. That it is humili ating and mortifying is beyond all question, a mel ancholy fact ; and when the causes and effects which have brought it about are examined into, it is doubly so. We are vanquished, virtually if not really ! and that too, not by a superiority of num bers, but by the lethargy, supineness and negligence SURRY. v auu uuc .uuvf, v. - NEW HANOVER. I she, 5., N. H.

And we should have had a majority in the egislature, of at least 8 or 10, if in strong Whig Counties, so many Whig Candidates had not been before the people, as to give a Loco Toco a chance to slip in and defeat them all ; as has been the case in Buncombe and other Counties! As it is, howev er, we have barely saved ourselves, and if we have either the Legislature or the Governor, it is by so reduced a vote, that we shall feel the deepest cha grin even in success. We could indulge in a homily on the occasion which might be profitable, perhaps ; but we forbear for the present, until we know the sure and final result. We must, however, be permitted to remark, that we envy no man his feelings, who by his neg ligence, in not appearing at the Polls, or failing to vote for the Whig Candidates, has, possibly, caused the State to fall into the hands of the etfemy. If he be a man who honestly entertains convictions of the truth and virtue of Whig principles if he believes that they are better calculated to preserve unsullied the pure institutions of our Government bow can he excuse himself, for neglecting to perform a duty, the failure of which has proven so mortifying and dis graceful !

We are rather incredulous, we confess. We are tempted to suspect that our jolly fi iends allowed their pen to run off into a " tall" quiz upon their new acquaintance, the Public, just to learn whether or not it had a robust faith. We have amused ourselves however in fancying that it migJit be a sure-enough Pie and that the catastrophe happened to the diners thereo7it, which actually occurred to the King, Queen, and Maid of the old nursery song : "When the pie was opened, The birds began to sing," &c. That pie must have been opened with a broad-sword, at least, if not with a whip-saw ! Just suppose then, that as the trenchant blade raked across the occi puts of the two shoats, and the back-bones of 120 chickens, they had all simultaneously and spontan eously lifted up their multitudinous voices in song thjit the sturdy and independent shoats should have grunted in indignation at being thus forced solitary and alone, " doubly alone,7 as the Poet has it, into such a miserable, chicken-hearted crowd! But we wander We merely intended to point our friends of the Review to the "Pie of Pies," as it is called, in that witty and well-wrjtten book, the " Bachelor of the Albany." This was a Breakfast-pie, gracing the ta ble of that merchant Prince, Mr. Spread. Indistinct ness is said by Burke to be one element of sublimity. This pie indistinctly towers until it is almost lost in the clouds. Read this, ye men of Goldsborough, and then answer, " d'ye give it up?" In the centre stood, or, rather, towered, a vast pie, which was surrounded with minor attractions, such as tongues, fowls, collars, and marmalades, just as a great planet is attended by a body-guard of satel lites. But as Jupiter excels his moons, so did that pie surpass collars, fowls, and tongues in magnitude EDITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE. New Tork, August 2, 1848. Mr. Editor: Thinking that a random sketch, now and then, of some of the lions in and about New York, may be interesting to your reader?, I have prepared a few desukory pencillings, which you can have, provided you think them worthy of an inser tion iu the Register. So for No. 1. we will take GREENWOOD CEMETERY. This beautiful spot is situated about half of a mile West of Brooklyn, and its local advantages and beauties are said'to be immeasurably superior to those of the celebrated Mount Auburn. The land set apart for the purposes of the Cemetery embraces over two hundred acres, presenting every variety of wood-land, hill, valley, precipice, glen, and smooth, unweoded lawn. It is traversed through and through by fine gravel walks, and, unattended, one might probably get lost in the circuitous windings.

The " Standaad" is very anxious that we should procure and peruse the" speech of this gentleman, as serting that Mr. Ffillmore formerly indulged in vh ulent invective against Southern institutions. We have not been able to do so but in default of our own ability to lay hands on it, we recommend to the attentive consideration of Mr. Holden and his friends generally, the following pungent article from the Richmond Whig." We received from the office of the Milledge- ville Union, a copy of the speech of this gentleman, which we have' formerly alluded to. It appears that the scene of Mr. Fillmore's denunciation of the South is laid, not in the Park but in the " Western part of V . . i . l - Ttri INew Yorfc." Apreiiy large arena mis. v nere did it happen ? Point out the spot, some of you who are knowine upon the subject. .Let us have also the day ! Mr. Fillmore, it-seems, " poured forth a dia tribe against the South." Let us have the words or something approaching to them. It is hard that a man should be tried for an offence fnot specified, nor the hour, nor the place nor the day, at which it was committed. These specifications are absolutely necessary to a defence, and we claim for Mr. Fill more the benefit of a privilege which is granted to the meanest culprit. Perhaps if Mr. M. will tell us when and where the offence was committed, the speech itself may be produced, and the public can then judge for themselves. Now, we have nothing but vague eeneralities. Mr. F. " poured forth a diatribe against t he South," and he did it some time in 1844, and some where t; in the Western part of New York." Was anv man ever before called upon, except in the days of the Revolutionary tribunal, or before the court of the Inquisition, to auswer such a vague and indefi nite charge? We feel the highest confidence in Mr. Fillmore, and we challenge the production of his speech ; for abounding as New York does in newspapers, it is hardly possible that so distinguished a man should have addressed a large audience, during such an ex cited canvass, without commanding the presence of the brethren of the press.

The "Standard" proclaims lustily that Millard Fillmore is in favor of the Wilmot Proviso. We are not aware of the fact that Mr. Fillmore has ev er voted for the restriction of slavery to its present bounds. We"believe, however, that it will be about equally as easy to find a white black-bird, as to find in any of the free States, in either party, any man who is at heart desirous of extending slavery into the .Territories where it does not now exist. We are quite certain that the Northern Democrati c in fa vor of the Wilmot Proviso, fhat same Proviso Which has nearly run the "Standard" crazy.) if we can take their otes as an indication of their fetliog on the subject. "Neither Taylor nor Fillmore will dare to speak out against it," says the '"Standard." The Northern Democracy, almost to a man, have dared to vote for it ! Will the "Standard" groan any over the ileent vote in the House of Represent; atives, by which this anti-slavery Proviso was pass ed ? This comes home to the hearts and bosoms of Southern Democracy.

It might have been considered as a poem, a compo sition of talent and turkeys, genius and grouse,. In to 6UQh a pie was it that Bion, the philosopher, wish ed hjmself metamorphosed, that wisdom, in bis form, might captivate the sons of men. Stubbles had been thrashed, covers ransacked, woods depopulated, and preserves destroyed, to furnish forth its mighty con cave. It was a pie under whose dome you would have wished ta live, or been content to die. Appe tite grew by feeding on it; its very sight was better than to eat aught else eatable. It dilated the soul and exalted the character to be in the same room with so noble a creation of gastronomic mind. When, that pie was in ruins it reminded those who beheld it of the Coliseum. for declining to publish Mr. Gregory's protest" against "Free Suffrage," vit: that "it did not be come him to publish any thing calculated to injure the Democratic cause"? Before the "Standard" asks us again to vouch for Mr. Fillmore,on the Wil mot Proviso, let him explain the direct rote of bs friends all of his friends who voted at all in the House of Representatives, with the exception of two or three in favor of that same1 doctrine. It was a vote of the House on the 2d W August,1 on the Bill to establish a Territorial Government in' Oregon, when an amendment was proposed to strike out that part of the 12th Section extending the Or dinance of 1787 over Oregon. The words of said Section are : "That the inhabitants of said Territory shall be entitled to enjoy all and singular, the rights, privi leges, and immunities granted and secured to the people of the territory of the United States North west of the fiver Ohio, by the articles of compact contained in the ordinance for the government of said territory, on the thirteenth day of July, seven teen hundred and eighty-seven ; .and shall be sub ject to all the conditions, and restrictions and prohi bitions in said articles of compact imposed, upon the ' people of said territory-" We have no doubt but that the "Standard" and the whole Democratic party of the South, have been egregious! fooled by their Northern allies. North ern Democrats dared to speak out against the Provi- so, doubtless. But words are sometimes mere mod ifications of wind, and cost little with some men. High sounding words may rise from a weak stomach" they may be trolled off, too, by a forked tongvq. The question is. how did these fair-spoken gentle men vote, when it came to the taggJust as we knew they would just as they always will just as the public sentiment at home obliges them to vote;- thev voted, almost to a man? for the Wilmot Provi Extract of a letter, dated ' LlNCOLNTON, AjlgUSt 5. r;Wjj(, Jiave the melancholy fact to communicate through you to our brethren in the State that we are licked .again- We .will rest a spell, and then wage a perfect Buena Vista fight fbTj and under, old Zach. " Hon. H. W.ponnor, the Senator elect from this County, is a vast eld humbug. In his speech of thanks, yesterday, he complained that Mr. Badger should confess that Congress had the power over slavery in the lately acquired territory, whilst he lauded, very feebly, it is true, (for the old man is lke the Irishman's pttnch very rvake,) but as well as he could, the Wilmington teacher who usually bedeck ed his brow with the flowing plumage of an invol untary bunty-tail-bjack-cock, for doing that same" in his Nicholson letter. The Hon. old gentleman regretted his want of language toaexpress, &a Now, the track nearer the truth is, his want of ideas to be expressed for if the old Gentleman had had all the language in tha, dictionary, I have not a word to say," would have Deen ampiyumcieni. ior his use. Here is a specimen, judge it for yourself: " Fellow-citizens : If any person had told me, on last Monday evening, that I should have stood here to day, in tk present position which I now occupy, I .should not only have been incredulous, but 1 should not iiave credited him." Oh, thou ehade of Lindley Murray ! let thy mantle fall on the man who cafe parse that sentence, according to the rule: a verb must agree &c. It is to be hoped that he will not be placed in the Senate committee on Public shools. I neglected to state in its proper place, that Shu ford is an independant " dimicrat," and has succeed ed in knocking the final letter from Mr. Routh's name. He (Mr. R.) was on the regular ticket duly nominated and endorsed by the convention. HON. DAVID OUTLAW. The Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, pays, the following deserved and handsome compliment to this Gentleman. " Mr. Outlaw of North Carolina, a Whig, madehis maiden speech, also, and a capital speech it was too. He is an able man as well as a modest and an unob trusive member. That speech, in review of the con duct of the Administration and against the acquisi tion of territory, so well and so gallantly delivered, will cause its author to bo well listened to wheuever he shall again rise to address thlHouse. In the course of his speech, he alluded to the ( Buf fajoo hunt" to come off in Mexico, by which adyen turers from the United States, were to filch another sift of Mexico .from her weak grasp, and also to the fact that rumor had connected the name of General Shwetds with the expedition."

That heart must indeed be cold and dull as senseless clay, that is not strongly impressed with those seri-'j ous emotions, so naturally elicited by a walk among the mansions of the dead. It was on a beautiful af ternoon that I first visited Greenwood the atmos- ; phere was as still, as though it were nature's dying . breath the entire sky gorgeously colored by the ro- j seate tints of the setting sun. 1 could no longer dis- j believe or ponder at the assertions of others, under circumstances of a similar nature, when they have described their feelings to have been of a character never before experienced feelings of attachment to a spot, ordinarily, nay universally coupled with the most dismal, dreary associations. I almost felt, as others, amid the placid influences of the scene, have felt and said, that indeed " it were no pain to die On such an eve when such a sky, O'ercanopies the West." The public property in the ground is divided off into partitions, respectively appropriated for partic ular uses. One section is allotted for the burial of those who may have died in the service of their Country, during the War another to the interment of odd-fellows or masons another again, to mem bers of Fire Companies, who may forfeit their lives in their efforts to extinguish flames, &.c There is one tall monument erected to the memory of a Pilot, who lost his life in sight of New York Harbor, du ring a severe storm, while he was zealously and dauntlessly endeavoring to save an unhappy crew. The shaft is very high and its structure simple but majestic situated on an eminence that looks direct ly seaward, it is at once an index to the mariner, that he is nearing his haven, and an incentive to the noble duty and generous daring of him, who slum bers at its base. Among the numerous private mon uments, there are some of remarkable beauty and taste. The most magnificent one that my eyes ever beheld, is raised over the body of a young and beau tiful Girl, the loved and only daughter of doting pa rents, who was thrown from a carriage, and killed on her seventeenth birth-dav. 1 he wealth ot the ther had been profusely lavished upon her edu -,..

It is enclosed by an iron railing, and fhe ground for some distance around is beautituliy gravelled. . How is it, that the simplest inscriptions are ordi narily most affecting ? Is it' the result of that chas' tening influence, which attends lhe resting place of the dead or is it due to the effectof that conviction which assures us that " flattery cannot soothe the dull cold earof death" or does it proceed, rather, ! from a consciousness within us, that no words, how ever beautiful, no phrase, however polished, can pourtray the sacred ness of private grief or fathom the depths of family aflliction? Goldsmith, in one of his letters by a Citizen of the World, has excel lently satiriaea the custom that then prevailed, and stljl obtains, Of inscribing indiscriminately on every Tomb, the most lavish words of praise. He says, that after a stroll through same Church-yard, one would be induced te believe, that -there was but lit tle selfishness, fraud or immorality in the World j for every man is there alike represented to have been the most obliging neighbor, most honest and most virtuous man imaginable. Byron too, in his Elegy on a Dog, conveys the same idea in the following lines, which coutain more of truth than of that mis anthropy, which some so fondly imagine to, have been the burden of his every thought; v ' When some proud son of man descends to earth, Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth, The sculptor's art exhausts the pomp of wo, And storied urns record who rests below When all is done, upon the Tomb is seenja? Not nhat he mas, but what he should hare been." How much more impressive than aDy labored recital of virtues and good-qualities, is the simple, epitaph, : " he died without an enemy ?" W hata host of beau tfful ideas is concentrated in that brief sentence ! He went through the trouble and turmoil of an over jarring world, and when it pleased the God of Na ture, thatjbe " shoul 1-shufBe off this mortalcoil," he bade farewell to the world, and the whole world wds his friend for "he died without an enemy." Iu wandering through the grounds of Greeuwood, if you should visitit, reader, your eyes will be arrest ed by a chaste and neat monument on which are en graven the simple words " her narye teas Marff Pause and ponder them over in your mind, and say, oes not the tear of touched sensibility motsien your ve-lids. A volume in a word ! 1 he flower oi nie was nipped in its bud. Her stay on earth had been transitory she was mild an gentle; until as tho her spirit was too Jure for the gross contact of earth ly things, she was snatched from the embrace of mortals, and transplanted in the bosom of her God. Eulogy might have been exhausted in praise of her, who fitly bore the name of one last at the Cross, and earliest at the grave of the Savior AUUtold, in that simple announcement, "cr name was mary.
