Freedom, Country', National glory, are U as dusrio the balance, Compared withj the de lights of office. This was the moving spring, in the late struggle. This was the whole secret of their outcry against Gen.Taylor and against Gov. Manly. They could prefer no charge against either in regard to their public policy. In their attempts to do so, they exposed their shallow hy pocrisy. The resolutions of their Convention were evidently a piecea patch-yvork, made ip of the odds and ends of "ffP"' ws of the differ ent factions, of which thjsljctable brotherhopd was composed. Thus tbiey showed their cloven foot. Thus they rendered innocuous the poison of their slander, by miiing ingredients that neu tralised each Qthpr - . . THE LATE SECRETARY of the NAVV The gratification which we, in common with the people of North Carolina, have experienced at the appointment of Gov. Graham to be Sec retary of the Navy, is moderated ia no degree, (it is due to candor to confess,) b) a consciousness that any great loss has been sustained, in the withdrawal of W. Ballard Prctton, the former Head of that Department. The selection of a Cabinet officer from Virginia, at the first, caused general dissatisfaction throughout the VVhig party of the country aud for obvious reasons. Vir ginia! has enjoyed a monopoly of offices unfler the Government, ever since the adoption of the Constitution, and has always bowed at the shrine of Loco Focoism, with all the unchanging faith of the devotee. But, as it was, surely that an cient and venerated commonwealth bad inauy "far worthier sons" than IP. Ballard Preston! We should have been willing lo have allowed Mr. Preston to retire into that obscurity, which has been auticipating his withdrawal trom public affairs, but for a recent occurrence, which has a roused a feeling of deep and just indignation a mong the Whigs of this State. We allude to the fact of his having bestowed the patronage of his Department vpon Vie "Raleigh Standard,' to the litter disregard of the claims of our VVhig journals. And this, too, is done in the midst of an excited political campaign, while the Whig Press was earnestly labouring, night and day, to sustain the Administration, in INorlh Carolina, and in face of the fact, that this organ of North Carolina Loco Focoism was weekly bespattering it with the most rabid and shameless denuncia tion. In the very number of the ' Standard'' in deed, in which the advertizing referred to first ap pears, the Administration was pronounced "cor rupt and imbecile, and Mr. Preston, himself, was placarded as a "traitor lo the South." The timely bestowal of his patronage doubtless just about compensated the Editor of the Standard for the expense of having issued a Semi-Weekly StaodarCduring the late Carapajgn ! - We have been u reed to these remarks by no improper spirit. Had the patronage in question been given to any one of our Whig contempora ries, we should have been pleased and satisfied with whatever selection might have been made; but we do indignantly protest against such con temptuous and insulting treatment of the claims of the Whig Press of the State, and most of all. agaiust such treatment at the hands of one,neither whose qualifications nor services justify him in putting on airs. THE ELECTION The long agony is past the election is over ; and that it is so, must cause the most poignarU griff ia the breast of every philanthropist, eve ry lover of order and decency, and every sincere well-wisher to the peace and dignity" of the citizens of this State. It has called fbrlh and af forded such an opportunity for the di.ply of tjie cardinal virtues such a nuiubrr of kindly feelings have been brought into action, aud such an excess of charity and love of teat h made manifest that we shall henceforth look upon a contested canvass jas affording a fiist-rate specimen of human uature- j At the Dolla. there was a slight lack of that ccflm r ' Roman dignity ascribed to us by our Fourth-of-Jn-ly orators inasmuch as the volera. skipped about with the vivacity of Fieuchmen, and exercised their tongues with the unanimity of old women. If tome staid sober citizen was observed making his way to any spot where votes were to be tuken and brandy given, he was immediately surrounded by a number of the more particularly devoted lovers of country, who were employing their talents, energies, and lungs, in the work of convention, and mobbed, and twisted, and turned by;them in a very hackney coachman like style, in order to gn his attention to their various claims, nntil the four points of the compass became with the said citizen a matter of doubt and uncertainty. Fi rst, one politician, would plant him his face towards the fcsweet south"? then a second, by a dextrous manoeuvre, would bring him directly north then a third worthy, by the assistance of his coat-collar, would twill him to wards the orient east, thrusting in hit face "the trus ticket, free," as the Orator observed, "of all bri bery and corroptionn-rirhile a fourth personage, rather dirty and vary tipsy, once more reversed his position towards the wet, aad solicited hi attention to another true ticket, 'upported," as he averred, by all the lovers of order and decency. ''j True the coats, vests, and other garment of various cit izens did somewhat suffer but what of that ? who is not above such paltry considerations in the dis charge of his duly ? Resides, eome men did this from principle, as all the damage they inflicted up on the woollen cloth of tht outward man, afforded a direct and practical proof of their zeal for the en couragement of domestic manufactures. The Loco Foco newspaper press has, during the whole of the late contest, and especially towards the close, gained for itstlf a high character for veracity f moderation, candour and a toue of correct moral feeling. The qualifications of the opposition have been exam ined in such a calm, impartial manner, so free from bay thing like jwrty violence and abuse, that it ia proposed to collect the principal editorial articles of their leading journals in a more durable form, to be entitled "Newspaper Gems, or the Spir it of the Democratic Press, for 1850." Copies Slight with, advantage, we think, be shipped off to'Eorope, while others might be preserved in our public in stitutions, to be handed to their descendants, should they unhappily ever be inflamed by party disputes, aa eiamplesof the wisdom, mildness sad moderation of their nnecator. :ri -- fft ,ffl 1 1 4 congress: The Compromise Bill was taken up again on Monday iand the pending amendments to Mr. Bradbury's amendment having been rejected, the original amendment of that gentleman was rejec- j ted; ayes 28; nays 28.

The " Baltimore Patriot " pays the following handsome and just compliment to North Caroli na, and her distinguished son, whose recent ap pointment appears to have been hailed with satis faction and pleasure in all parts of the Country : William A. Graham, of North Carolina, is the new Secretary of the Navy. This compliment, in selecting oue of her own sons,, to take a seat in the Cabinet, at this seeming crisis in the affairs of the country, was due to North Carolina. She has maintained, through every fortune, her polit ical principles, and upheld the Whig banner, when it drooped in almost every other State in the jJnioii. For 'unflinching devotion to the VVhig cause, commend to us the Old North State and of her sons, none more worthy could be se lected, than the new Secretary of the Navy. He has proven himself a worthy champion of that cause, and his own fellow citizens have recogniz ed his merits bv calling him to the Executive chaif of the State. The appointment, while it will give great gratification to North Carolina, will also be hailed with favor by lhe whole coun try, and particularly by the people ol the bouth. Weihave evidence of this, in the remark of the editor of the Petersburg Intelligencer, who seeing his name mentioned for a seat in the Cabinet, said : ! t have had, perhaps; better opportunities thari any Editor out of North Caiolina, lo learn the character of this gentleman, and we can truly sayjthal we know of no Cabinet appointment which ought to give more entire satist action to the Souih than that of Governor Graham. With great talents, he combines firmness, moderation, and a character which scandal itsell has never at tetirpted lo stain. ! GOV. GRAHAM. It "ives us great pleasure to learn, that this dis tinguished North Carolinian has accepted lhe office of Secretary of the Navy, conferred upon him by President Fillmore. in another column will be found a few of the just tributes, by papers in other States, to the ex cellence of Gov. Graham's character, and the high order of his talents, fitting him for the able and faithful discharge of the duties of any station to which he may be called. To these tributes there has come under our notice but one excep tion, and that, as might be expected, appears in a South Carolina paper. In the Washington cor respondence of the Charleston Courier, it is said, f'Mr. Graham, of North Carolina, was in the last and several previous Congresses, and is a very "respectable manf ' ' 5Reallv ! A very respectable man".'! Should ndt Korth Carolinia be grateful lor such an en dorsement of Got. Graham's claims f X ne accu racy of thi information of this writer, is only equal led by his generosity in according to any North Carolinian so "respectable" a position. i The Charleston Courier should be above the littleness which has distinguished some of its co imnoraries. of thus afFcctiw ignorance lor the purpose of sneering at distinguished North Caro lipians distinguished at least as much, and as justly, asany of the magniloquent duattlebuma of ooum varoima. r ay. us. f " JMEETING OF THE CAPE FEAR AND Seep river navigation company.

SIR ROBERT PEELS DEATH The London Time", of July 4th, says it is im possible to exaggerate the feelings of profound emo liou, with which the mournful intelligence of the de uh of Sir Robert Peel was received on the pre ceding day. The Times gives the following partic ulars of the accident which cause! his death : Sir Robert Peel had called ot Buckingham Pulace and entered his name in htr Majesty's visiting book only a tew minutes before the nccideut. Proceeding np Constitution hill, be arrived ue,n ly opposite the wicketgute leading into the Green Purk, when he met Miss Ellis, one of L idy Uever's daughters, on horsebuck attended by a groom. Sir Robert hud scarcely changed s-tlutes with this young lady, when his horse became slightly rest iff, swerved towdtds the rails of the Greeu Park, mid threw Sir Robert sidew:iya 011 his left shoulder. Two gentleman who were close to the spot ran forward and raised him, holding him in a sitting posture. Dr. t'oucart was the third gentleman to render as sistance. : tie saw the accident from a distance of 150 yards, and hastened forward, reaching the spot just us Sir Robert had been raised by the other two geutlemen. Sir Robert on being raised, groaned very heavily, and in reply to .Dr. Foucan's ques tion, as lo whether he ws muchhurt, replied, ' Yes -pvry much." During the few moments which e-lapst-d before a carriage was procured, Sir Robert became unconscious, in which state -he remained until after he had been assisted iuto the carriage. He then slightly revived, and, again in reply to Dr. Foucart, said, I feel better.' The carriage was then ordered to drive slowly through the park to Whitehall grdens,Sir Robert being supported by Dr. Foucurt and the two gen tlemen who had first raised him from the ground They had proceeded no more than thirty yams when Sir James Clark met the Carriage, aud having heard of the accideut, came up to see if he could render any assiamnce. Di Foucart requested Sir James to accompany him in the carriage to Whitehall, which Sir James consented to do. In a few minutes after he had entered the carriage, Sir Robert be came much excited, and endeavored to raise himself up, which i: was thought, necessary to prevent. He then again sank, into a state of half-unconscious ness, iu which he remained until his arrival at Whitehall Gardens. On being lifted out of the car riage, he revived, and walked, with assistance, into the house. On entering the mansion, Sir Robert was met by Lady Peel, and the members of his fam ily, who hud been awaiting his arrival in painful anxiety after having received intelligence of the ac cident. Lady Peel wa overwhelmed wiih emo tion, and would have flung herself into her husband's arms, had not Sir James Clark, and the other geu tlemen in attendance, removed her. The effect of the meeting upon Sir Robert Was extremely puiuful. He swooned iu the arms of Dr. Foucart, and was Dlaced UDon a sofa in the nearest apartment (the dining room.) From this room Sir Robert was nev er removed ; and s extremely sensitive to pain did he speedily become, that it was only after very con siderable difficultv that he could be removed from the sofa to a patent hydraulic bed which had been procured for his use. The distinguished sufferer lingered in great ago ny from Saturday uutil Tuesday, the 3rd July. The physicians considered fracture of the clavicle the most serious iiijury, but his pain was so acute that he would not permit examination. He was sometimes delirious, and in his paroxysms the names of his frieuds Hardinge and Graham were frequent ly upon bis lips. Tuesday evening. Lady Peel and other members of the family were admitted to bis apartment. Once he recognised them,and stretching forth hia hand, whispered "God bless you I" Sir Robert ceased to exist ei nine minutes after 1 1 o'clock. Those present at his decease were : his three brothers, the Dean ef Worchester, Colonel Peel, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Peel, three of his sons, Mr. F. Peel, M P., Captain W. Peel, R. Nn and Mr. Arthur Peel ; his son-in-law, Lord Villiers, Lord Hardinge, Sir J. Graham, and the medical eentlemea in attendance. Sensibility to pain bad ceased some time before death, and his last moments were not disturbed by any physical suffering After deat h an examination of the body was made nb.en.ft meat imnortaut fact was for the first tune discovered, vis - that the fifth rib on the leftside was fractured. This was the region where Sir Robert complained of suffering the greatest pern, and it was probably the seat of the mortal iowry, the broken rib pressing on the lungs, and producing what is .M-uuicauj Known as ettusioa and pulmonary en gorgement. The family were consulted on the subject of a post mortem examination, but both Mr. Frederick Pee! and Captain Peel objected to let the remains be .disturbed in any way, and the precise cause of death will therefore never be ascertained An op plicatien for permission to take a cast of his face. irom an emmiuent sculptor, was also refused. 5 $3- Wednesday last was, for heat, not be hind the most ardent of its predecessors of the .wtui ocuu. xne inermometer in our sanc tum which is thought a cool place stood at 87, at 9 o'clock A.

Haigh,Esq.,wasone of the happiest and most appropriate which we have ever heard delivered. He spoke feelingly j aud eloquently of each ol the several similar oc casions of general mourning in which the people of the United States have been called upon to unite within the last nine years, of the death of Harri son, of Jackson, of Adams, of Polk, and of Tay lor ; and 'alluded briefly to the traits which bad dis tinguished the predecessors in station, and to thej tomb, of him whom we had now assembled to' honor. He referred in glowing terms to 'he inci dents of (hat brilliant military career which had given to Gen. Taylor a world-wide renown ; and dwelt with yet more of emphasis and delight upon those beautiful traits of personal character with out which not ev-n military fame would haveen-i abled him to win his way to the hearts of the peo ple -upon his incorruptible integrity, his truth, aud justice, and kindness, and his unwavering re- liance upon th arm uf the A lmightjJRuler of events, in short those qualities which stamped Gen. Taylor the Man of the Age, and enshrined him in the hearts of the people. Incidentally, but most appropriately and justly, the Orator alluded lo him who had by this provi dence been so suddenly and unexpectedly and quietly placed in supreme power; and followed up this allusion by a'burstof eloquent denunciation of disunionists, at both extremes of lhe country, which met with a unanimous response, we are sure, in that large assembly, and would, but for the nature of the occasion, have received unmis takeable marks of approbation. Obs. SENATOR SEWARD. Mr. Sana tor Seward, of New York, begins to discover that his ultrnism is too ultra for any of his sympathizing abolitionists to follow him, and that he :s rapidly descending to the level for which nature has destined him. He was yesterday de nounced by opponents, and deserted b his owri associates . This is a position which ho wise man will envy, and no good man will desire. On his amendment about New Mexico he stood alone as the clerk of the Senate announced on summing up the vole yea, Mr. Seward onp. Union.
