His allusion to Charlotte Journal. the struggles nd trials of Washington and k; rnmnatriots to establish the Union, and the picture he drew of the consequences that must inevitably follow Disunion, sunk deeD into the hearts of the audience, and must produce good fruit, as all such efforts must, in strengthening the nands ana warm ing the hearts and nerving the arms of the friends of the country. The short speech of our young friend Strong showed that the true fire of the flint is in him and made a good impression in his favor. We nredict for him a career of usefulness and honor. The Editor of the Evenins Mirror draws the following very just pictures of the Presi dent and several members of his Cabinet, suggested by their recent visit to New York: With Mr. Fillmore we had some slight personal acquaintance before the election of 1848, having visited JNewport in company with himself and family the preceding sum mer, when he took his first plunge in salt- water. During the Administration of Gen! Taylor, we casually met him twice : and since his elevation to the Presidency, we hare made one formal call at the White House, and passed one evening with him so cially in the "Circle Koom, in tne compa ny of the ladies. During the last ten days we have seen him at all hours of the day, be f 1 a - lore Dreaktast ana alter oinner, aione ana in crowds,' and a more cheerful, tranquil, equa ble, agreeable man we have never met. In all the hundred speeches he has made to in dmdualsand to masses, he has net uttered one word which, ''Dying he would wish to blot." Xi ever having indulged in any excesses, his constitution is sound, his health is good. his spirits buoyant, and his countenance fresh and smiling. Being six feet tall, well proportioned,and the handsomest man in the company, the Piesident required no intro duction to be hailed by the multitude, who could instantly identify him arthe represen tative of the living majesty of twenty-two millions of freemen. Take him for all in all, Millard Filimore is one of the most remark- THE SENATORIAL ELECTION. There are returns enough in from the Sen atorial Districts to make certain the passage of a bill for the Canal Enlargement. Popu lar condemnation has fallen upon the fugi tive Senators with unexampled force and ef fect; and not only they, but all who may come after them, have been taught that 11 will not do for public servants to use the power of place to defeat the legislation of the State by means no't warranted by the usages of party, and not contemplated by the Con stitution. 1 he act ot resignation on tne-pan of twelve Senators was altogether a revolu tionary measure. It was uncalled for, either by the measure, which was thereby doomed to temporary defeat, or by any oDUgations which the opposing Senators owed to their constituents. Opposition, where it accor ded with private judgment 01 with a sense of public duty, woutd have been right and proper; but tor twelve senators 10 agree 10 defeat a bill, approved of by the Constitu tional majority of the Senate, and to defeat all other measures which could not be pas sed previously to the passage of this one great public act, was an act of open rebellion a gainst the prescribed forms of legislation, and against everything sacred and permanent in a well ordered government We are glad that the Canal is to be enlar ged, and equally glad that the violent means resorted to to defeat the measure have been rebuked. We trust that, when the Leg islature meets, there will be but one purpose manifested by the Whig majority in the two Houses, and that an earnest determination to effect the en largement upon the most economical, expedi tious, and justifiable means. The liberal minded national Democrats have behaved manfully iri the recent struggle, and we de sire to reap no party advantage from a great State work like this. It is one which ought always to be regarded as above all party con siderations, and all legislation in reference to it should be with an eye single to the pub lic good, and the earliest pratical completion of the work itself. The Legislature which is about to reassemble have a great responsi bility, and we hope to see them exercise it in a spirit worthy of the times arid the best Onr locks are getting gref, nw. q Have been for many a oa7 On either side the steps are traced Of seasons sped atfay.

Hi Hammond 01 j ones. Of John J. Crittenden, we can hardly find words to express the warmth of affection he inspires. Next to Henry Clay, no man liv mg is so loved by his friends. Genial, joy ous, convivial, witty, Wise and eloquent, he possesses every clement for private compan lonship and popular applause. The only thing he, lacks, is personal political ambition; with this stimulus, he would long since have been the people's successful candidate for the highest honprs in the nation. In his speeches on this occasion he has waked up the enthusiasm of the masses to a pitch of frenzy, and his old white head, like the ori fiamme of Navarre, has been the signal for a cneer and a rush wherever it has appear ed. "Long may it wave." rosvmasier lienerai Mall has left the impression business man ties" with on the faithful discharge of the duties of bis station, for all the honors that are to be de rived from it. Thqugh very quiet, he is evi dently wide awake, and unites in the dm charge of his arduous office, the learning of the lawyer, the shrewdness of the politician, and the dpwnright energy of the business man. . .. T O A T ' , . f. oecreiary uranam nas lett a very favorable impression upon the New Yorkers, in general, and upon his fellow-travellers, in particular. He is a handsome looking thorough bred, high toned Southern gentleman; liberal in politics, polished in manners, eloquently t'auiuiui in uis aevonon 10 the Union of the States. ' It would have been liffirnlt tn Mr. VENABLEIN HILLSBOROUGH. Mr. Venable addressed a portion of the pecple of Orange at this place yesterday. We have not space this week to make an ex tended notice of his remarks, but may .0 so in our next. We must say however, that his position in this speech was such that the Union men of the Distinct, in our' opinion, cannot vote for him as their representative, with the least ground to hope that his course in Congress would tend to promote the peace of the country or the Union of the States. He advocated the right of Secession, and a ati" . . . vowea ni8 determination to vote tor the re peal of one of the compromise measures the law abolishing the ilave.trade in theDis trict of Columbia if he should ever have an opportunity, and thereby open the flood-gate and turn the lull tide of fanaticism upon the country again. His portion seems to be exactly that of Langdon Cheves, of South Carolina, who regards Secession the united Secession of the slaveholding States, or krge number of them as the remedy for the evils complained of by the South, both real and imaginary ; but considers seperate Mate action as unwise and impracticable And until this united action can be had, Mr. Cheves contends that the South should agi tate the subject ''incessantly, actively, zeal ously and learlessly." 1 So with Mr. Vena ble, and accordingly his speech yesterday was (to use an expression, which he applied to the President's proclamation,) the most complete "boo-woo-woo" concern that we have ever heard, evidently intended to ag- imie lue uuuuc miau ana 10 irignien Uie Sim the past, I shall have passed away forever, and the cold white stone win De seeping its lonely watch over the lips you have so often pressed, and the sod will be growing green that shall hide for ever from your sight the dust el one who has so often nestled c ose to your warm hert. vox many long and sleepless uiphts, when all beside my though' was at rest, 1 have wrestled with the consciousness of approaching death, until at last it ha lorced itself upon ny mind, and although to you and to others it might now seem but the nervou imaginations of a girl, yet. dear G , it is so ! Many weary hours have I passed in the endeavor to reconcile myselt to leaving you, whom 1 lore so well, and this bright world of sunshine and beauty ; and hard indeed is it to struggle on silently and alone with the sure conviclvm that I am about to leave all forever, and go down alone into the dark valley ! "But I know in whom I have trusted." and leaning upon his arm, "I fear no evil." Don'i blsme me for keeping even this from you. How could I subject you, of all others, to such sorrow as I feel at parting, when time will soon make it apparent to you ! " I cou d have wished to live, it only to be at your side when your time shall come, and pillow ing vour head upon my breast, wipe tne death- damps from your brow, and usher your departing spirit in o its Maker s presence, embalmed in wo man s holiest prayers, itut 11 is not to ue so and I submit. Yours is the privilege of watching, throujrh long and dreary nights, for the spirit's final night, and of transferrins: my sinking head from your breast to my Savior's bosom. And you shall share mv last thought; and the last faint pressure of the hand, and the last feeble kiss shad be yours ; and even when flesh and heart shall hve failed me, my eye shall rest on yours until glazed by death , and our spirits shall hold one last fond comtnunicition.until gently fading from view the last of earth you shall mingle with the first bright glimpses of the unfading glories of that better world, where partings are unknown. Well do i know the spot, dear G , where you will lay me. Often hare we stooJ by the p ace, and as we watched the mellow sunset as it glanced in quivering flashes through the leaves, and burnish ed the grassy mounds around us with stripes of burnished eoa,each perhaps has thought that some one of us would come alone, and whichever it might be, your name would be 00 the stone. But we loved the spot ; and 1 know you II love it none the less when you seethe same quiet sunlight lin ger and play among the grass that grows over your Mary's grave. 1 Know you will go ot:en alone, when I am laid there, and my spirit will he with you then, and whisper through the waving bran ches,4' am not dtad, but gone before!" MR. VENABLE SECESSION. The Hon. A. W. Vikable, who is again a Candidate for the suffrages of the freemen of the Fifth Congressional District, is almost universal ly regaided,at home and abroad, as the leader, the in North Carolina. More importnnce, therefore, attaches to" li movements, than belongs, perhaps to those of any other man of his treasonable faith We learn, from theHillsboro' Recorder," that Mr. Venable addressed the People of Orange, last ; '' McBRIDE SENT OFF! We learn from the Greembovo' Patriot, that the excitement in the County of Guilford in relation to the Abolitionist preachers from Ohio has come to a head. A large company, consisting of some two hun dred, intercepted McBride, on Sunday morning, the 25th ult, while on his way to a preaching appoint ment at Sandy Ridge, in the western part of Guilford, and after conducting him over the line into Forsyth, exacted fronj him a written pledge, under forfeiture of $1 000, to; leave Guilford and tho State by the en suing Saturday, never to return, nor send back iuto Jthe Stateany publication whatever on the subject of atevery. And oo of his fnetoda, a inan of substanee in the county, gave a written promise as surety, that his pledge .should be fulfilled. IJe is therefore, doubtless, by this tiin,e on his way back to Ohio. The " Patriot" adds : - . "From thef sensitive state of the public mind in consequence of the agitation of this matter, and the fanatical pertinacity with which Alctsnde continued his operations in the face of warning, a violent result was apprehended and seemed almost inevitable ; but a farm and efficient direction was given to the affair without personal violence or abuse; by the presence and efforts of some of the first citizens of the county. Through their representation of consequences which bad become- inevitable ehould he prove obstinate. and doubtless perceiving unfavorable auguries in the aspect of the crowd by which' he was surrounded, he pledged himself without delay to every thing they, desired. His coadjutor Adam Crooks, we learn, stated to the committee of the public Meeting, who gave hinualao notice to leave, that he did not preach m Guilford county bis field of labor, we presume, being in counties he low. Jt will beja Biost gratifying thing to see the pub lic mind of the county, which lias been so-unhappi ly agitated by the presence and purpose of these un welcome missionaries, now settle down to- its accus tomed tranquility." We are no counsellors of Lynch law, and hence we can but admire the moderation, yet firmness, with which the Guilford Committee have discharged their duty. The course they have taken may not suit the notions of some ; but, accompanied, as it was, with unmistakeable indications of a determination to put a stop to the State of things which has existed through out inai section tor some lime oacK, it was unques tionably the best and the wisest course. All credit to old Guilford! 63?" Tk r..n- late "T02 le,hich VI Illf 1BU,M t '-"uu 'n which North r V m South Carols 5. Ca wJ! A WILD MAN OF THE WOODS. The Memphis Enquirer of the 8th inst gives the following account of a wild man recently discovered in Arkansas : Dnrin? March last, Mr. Hamilton, of Green county, Arkansas, while out hunting with an ac quaintance, observed a drove of cattle in a state of apparent alarm, evidently pursued by some dreadful enemy. Halting for the purpose, they soon discovered as the animals fled by him, that they were followed by an animal bearing the un week, in a Speech, which stripped him, at once, of al! claim to the support of any Union-loving man in the District. He advocated the right and necessity of Secession deprecating, however, separate action by any, single Slate. Mr. Vena ble, and his followers,' may "deprecate" separate State action until they are hoarse.but their object, and the effect of their course, if successful.will be, and they will not deny it, to lead North Carolina unsuspectingly to that very brink of Disunion and Treason on which South Carolina now stands. All this attempt to get the people ot North Caro lina to sanction, in the persons of those who are aspirants for their support, this dangerous, revo lutionary and once exploded doctrine, is but tend ing to prepare the way for that last rash act, which South Carolina is ready to commit. The purpose is to make us accessories to that act to have us pledge ourselves in advance, that if we do not be come protectors of the criminal, we will do all in our power to compound the crime. And if the peo ple of this and other Southern States can be in duced to affirm, even oy any implication, this right of Secession Constitutional Secession the purpose of the South Carolina class of politicians is accomplished their end is obtained for that State can then resolve, without any hesitation, to withdraw from the Union, and our hands are tied we are estopped from saying aught against it and we shall be dragged headlong after her in all the consequences of her suicidal policy! This is the light in which the people should look at this question. Let the mask be torn off from the eauses that are in operation, and let the effect be seen in all its hideous deformity ! We would appeal, therefore, to the Union-Iov ing men of the Fifth District, to look about for some man who will more faithfully reflect their sentiments. We say, faithfully relecl their send menli for that his are not the sentiments of the patriotic freemen of his District, we can have no doubt. The soil upon which some of the best blood of the Revolution was spilt wherein were planted some of the earliest seed of American liberty will not open its bosom te receive the buddings of treason, even wlien attempted to be sown by so cunning aqd so skilful a laborer in tho Disunion vineyard, as Mr. v enable. So Jar, however, his progress through the District has been an uncontested one save at one point, we believe, (Pittsboro',) where lie was met and over whelmed by that ardent friend ot the Union and fearless debater, Johx a. Haughton. it is in deed to be hoped that some Ukwn man be he Whig or Democrat, is a matter of minor impor Lance will be brought oat in opposition, and mistakeable likeness of humanity.

Hillsboro Recorder. : An anecdote isftold in an Ohio journal of v xneotogicai stuaeni, wno, wnen asfcec for the first time to say grace, being rather embar rassed, began in this very benvolent strain: O Lord, we thank thee that while i are enjoying health and prosperity, so many are tossed upon beds of pain, deprived of the comforts of life."

The Alabama papers announce the death of Ex-Go Hugh McVay, at the advanced age of 85. i Judge Marshall, in the Virginia Conven tion of 1829-'30, said"! haVe ftlwayt thought from mjy earliest youth till now, that the greatest) scourge an anryi He aven ever, inflicted upon an ungratetul and a sin ning people, was act ignorant, a corrupt, or v dependant judiciary." -There is i solemni ty about this warning of the great and the lamented Marshal;, which, we ' hope, will sink deep into the heart, of the people. His wisdom and experience taught him the iruin oi nis aeciaration - hair, and the bead with long locks that fairly en veloped his neck and shoulders. The ''wild man," for so we must call him, after looking at them deliberately for a . short time, turned and ran away with great speed, leaping from twelve to fourteen feet at a lime. His foot prints meas ured thirteen inches each. This singular creature has long been known traditionally, in St. Francis,, Greene, and Pom sett counties Arkansas sportsmen and hunters having described him so long as seventeen years since. A planter, indeed, saw him very recently but withheld his information lest he shoujd not be credited, until the account pi Mr. Hamilton and his friend placed the existence of the animal be yond cavil. A great deal xif inter? i. felt hi th matter, by inhab tants of that region, and various conjee tnres have been ventured in regard to him. The most generally entertained idea appears to be that he was a survivor of the earthquake disaster which desolated that region in 1811. Thrown helpless upon the wilderness by that disaster, it is probable that he grew np in his savage state, un til he now bears only the outward resemblance of humanity. So well authenticated have now become the ac counts of this creature, that aa expedition is now organizing in this city, by CM. David C. CrWand Dr Sullivan, to seoet for hinj. They are to be ac companied by several other gentlemen, and we a wait with much anxiety the result of this excursion. KILLED BY AN ELEPHANT. , A boy was killed at New Haven, last week, by a blow from the trunk of one of the elephants attached toRayroond & Co's menagerie, f. It appears several boys were feeding him with apples, during the exhibi tion, and that the deceased wantonly punc. turedV the trunk jwi$b . sharp instrument, which enraged the Animal. The boy then left him, but soon tiler returned, and . as soon as he approached within reach of the elephant's trunk, he received a blow on the head which prostrated him, and soon alter caused his death. f StIrring AwsuiThe following ap. Kara ina Michigan paper -Democrats of W r-Ifyou are asleep, awake 1 If you are awake, move ! If vnn are mnvin wallr t has been made in the Dis union prints cf the day repeatedly in that mode advocate of Secession and anarchy, the "Raleigh Standard" that the effort to merge all party con siderations and party distinctions in one grand co operation of the friends of the Union, was but an effort to ure-buildn (as it is pleased facetiously to remark,) the "old Whig party." How untrue this is, let the state of things in Mississippi, where Gen. Foote has been nominated for Governor, and in tileorgia, where Mr. Cobb has been iiom inated, answer. Let us have a Union Candidate in opposition to Mr. Venable let him canvass the District, denounce the factious brawliegs of noisy treason, and stir up, from its deepest depths that love of our free and glorious institutions, implant ed in the heart of avery patriot. Let us have a man who can do all this, and if Mr. Venable should then be returned to Congress, to agitate for the demolition of our Government, and the destruc tion of the best hopes of rational liberty through out the world, let it be recorded as the first tri umph of anarchy over peace and of treason over patriotism that ever disgraced our good old State THE BEST WE CAN GET.

".tok,i . flfra.'f fj3- The "Knox ville (Tenn.) Whig," in noticing a recent article in this paper, recommending Mr Fillmore and our distinguished Graham, for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, and the letter which appeared in connection therewitb.thus hand somely responds to the suggestion : ' We notice in the last Ra'eigh Register, an extract of a letter from this p ace, to a gentleman n Raleigh, N. C, iu which the writer eulog ses President Fillmore, and William A. Granam, of North Carolina, and expresses a- preference lor these gentjemen for the next Presidency and Vice Presidency of the united Mates. We denot know who the writer of this leiter is, but of one thinjr we are certain he .represents public sentiment n East Tennessee correctly. Fillmore has ful y come up to public expectation he has presided over conflicting elements, when a dissolution of he government seemed almost inevitable, and by a masterly wise policy, has come up from the fiery ordeal without smell of the flames upon us garments and even his political enemies cannot rise up and say he has been unlaithful ! His Administration has been prudent and efii cient he has had the nerve to do his duty with out thought of consequences to himself aid now the people confide in him, and when the proper time comes, they will call upon him as their candidate for the office he now holds. As to Gov. Graham, we are pleased to -gee his name in the connexion it occupies in this letter, and in the ediiorialot the Raleigh Register. Of unbending integrity and moral worth of spotless political character and a Statesman of acknowl edged ability, he would fill even the first office of the nation, with honor to himselt and friends, and good to the American people." The 'Richmond Republican copying and com menting upon the same article, holds the follow ing highly gratifying and complimentary lan guage : , " We meet from all quarters of the South, warm tributes to the truly national course ot Mil lard Fillmore, and his eminent qualifications for the post lie now occupies. The Staunton Spec tator just y says, that "Mr. rillmore s claims are more highly estimated, in Viginia at least, than e southern Press seems to imagine " IVor is it only m Virginia thtt this exalted appreciation exists. I he following article, which we extract from that sterling Whig journal, the Raleigh (N. C.) Register shows that in Tennessee and North Carolina, the great body of the Whigs earnestly desire the election of Mr. Fillmore to the next Presidency. " The name ol Wm A. uraham, Esq of North Carolina is also mentioned m connection with the Vice Presidency. In regard lo this subject, we may remark, that while we agree with the Kaleigh Register that it is perhaps premature to agitate the question oi nominees yet awhile, Mr. Graham richly deserves the warm tributes paid lo him by both these Journals. He is a gentleman of bne talents and exalted character. Nor can we say one word too much ol tha gallant Whig State of North Carolina, from which he hails. Its Whigs are of the genuine stamp Whips from convic tion : Whigs of the winter as well as the summer day ; Whigs whose places in the political battles of the U. States is like that of Bragg' battery at ooena vista the post of danger and of honor; Whigs who ngbt long, who fight well, who al ways have a "tittle more -grape" just at the crin cal moment, and who are always victorious. And when we have said thus much, we have not said hall; for the battle won, the . W'bigs-of North Carolina are the most modest, the most moderate, of a I! the Victors. Sti 1, we do not desire to em bark in any premature Presidential or Vice Presi dential agitation, but 6imply to give credit where credit is doe, to express our appreciation ot a high minded Whig Suv.esinan, and a noble Whig State." mission. or all this she WPTP fiht ts foil I . - - Ian ou v rrv innr Oo ample.

Massachusetts Election.' The Contrression nl election in the Seeond District has resulted in the election of Robert Rantoul, Jr., Coalition, by 1 ,000 plurality, Rantoul is a professed Democrat and is the man who disgraced himself bv taking the nine day's seat in the United States Senate at the hands of the Coalitionists. ' The "Standard,'' then, has at last spoken out, after a fashion, in terms of reprobation of the ef fects of the infamous Coalition. in Massachusetts.
