Bills are prepared in the committees, ud the formality of passing them is generally ittanded WUJi little scrutiny into their details, their exceptions and provisos to say nothing of their reference to pre-existing statutes. But there is a higher moral and intellectual 'iew of the subject which yhould not be lost light of. The character of the statesman or legislator in free and enlightened Countries, neb as England and ths United, 8tates, is con tontly before the public inind( and, in propor tion as his patriotism is pure and exalted) and kit conduct of affairs wise, will be the patriotic tttachment of the people for the Government. There it something ennobling and exalting in the contemplation of a great and good charac l, nd sympathetic influences awaken a germ of iimilar virtues, whatever ha their nature in common men. Tbe Civilian, no less than the Hero and the Saint, has this faculty of infusing ki noble and generous aspirations, his disinter Mtedand self-sacrificing spirit, into those who look upon and admiro his character. How im portant, thsn, when a great and good man de Ttei himself to the civil service of bis country, wt his example of firm devotion to its best in 'f'rts, regardless of personal considerations, hould be deeply and strongly impressed upon to minds of his countrymen ! But under our "ktory system of politics, we should never great Statesmen.

Each would, far single term of service, have been cut off, " Wing received the measure of his deserts froo the public crib, (for that is what the au "on of the rotation policy had in their minds,) country would have lost the best por- un of their services, and history would have bereft of seme of its brightest pages.

Whilome, in happier times for him, we poke of our little friend, who cheered our first waking with his joyous note, and who, at night fall, attuned his song to our drowsy humors. We must not forget him now, when the chill blasts of Norember are upon him, and when the melody of the forest is only sustained by the melancholy clatter of the leayes, as they touch tbeir last resting place, pleasurable, true, to some, who are prone to philosophize upon Time ; but more cheery and we look back with regret u pon the season when the saucy mockingbird pour ed out his song in our very face, and e?en long for the shy, but sweet notes of the stealthy cat-bird, as he dodged from bush to bush, conscious of seme merit, but not quits confident in his imitatiTe er antertaining powers, i Then, 'there w the summer red-bird, which glanced like a fire-fly from tree to tree, with a very tone of Joy as it flitted past. And there was the scarlet Tarager, with his gorgeous coat of crimson and black. It mattered little whether he sang or not. He was sufficiently distinguished. No grand mar shall of the Csar might make a finer show than he. Then, there was our especial little fayorite, the lettuce bird, from whom we expectedsotne constancy. But he is gone, and they are all gone, but our little friend the Wren. His dom icil, the vine, is nearly denuded of leaves. Ths cold wind whistles through it and his perch must be uncomfortable. Yet true to character, no change of season has affected him. The same cordial notes that greeted us, in the indo lent mornings ef the spring, now almost tempt us toread the crispgrass, and, scrape the frost from the fence sides, to do justice to the choris ter who alone braves the changes of time and fortune. We well remember the efforts of a pair to es tablish a place with us. Upon a bleak and snowy day in February was the work begun. .

WISCONSIN ELECTION. Telegraphic reports from Wisconsin ; repre sent that the Democrats have elected their State tickot by a large majority. Such an event was to have been expected in that deci dedly locofoco State. Tbe Alilwaokie Sentinel states that so far as that city was concerned, there was "bat one is sue thought of or talked of," and that was the Liquor Law." The vote in Milwaukie on that question was, in favor of a prohibitory law 897, against it 3,002. It fared better in the counties. FOREIGN NEWS. The Baltic has arrived with Liverpool dates to the 3d of November. Prices remained about the same as quoted by the America. There is a contradiction of the engagement on the Danube between the Turks and Russians, and an armis tice had been concluded between Russia and Turkey. The period for commencing' hostilities has been postponed by the Sultan to the 1st of November. It is said that neither England or France had lost "all hopes of a peaceable settle ment of the difficulty. It is believed, tho,' tiiat 30,000 Turkish troops had crossed the Danube. ; JAayThenewsfromMississippi.of thedefeatof Gov. Foote, is most gratifying to the administra tion, as there was nothing they more deprecated and dreaded than the presence of that gentle man in the Senate. Whether the issue turned upon the eleetioh of Gov. Foote to the Senate alonet or whether the question of paying or re pudiating the honest debts of the State; was one of the issues, we do not know ; but it is under- minnA that the Dorjular voices as uttered in m I ( this election, has been given in favor of repndia tion and dishonesty, and consequently places upon the State the indelible stamp of dishonor. It matters but little on which side, politically such a State ranges herself, for she can do little credit to either. Thank God, no Tfhig majority ever sustained repudiation any where ; and it is one of the wonders of the day, that while tbe wealthiest counties of Mississippi, which give Whie majorities, are in favor of paying the just and honest debts of the State, and wiping from her the dark stain of repudiation, the poorest counties, which would pay but a mere fraction Of the tax laid for that purpose, and which are argely looofoco, are the very counties to sustain repudiation ! We have never seep a more practicaljand striking attempt at "riding both sides of the sapling" than that which the Editor of the '-Standard" makes in his last issue, in treating of the "New York Difficulties." "We have no hesitation," says that paper, "in saying that we entertain feelings of respect for Gen. Dix and bate confidence in him," but "our sympathies have been, and are still, to a considerable ex tent, with Mr. Dickinson, and many" (which does not include Mr. Bronson,) "who acted with him," 4c. But we shall pay our respects to the position of the Editor in due time. Thi Msiae.

The smoke has cleared away from the battle field in New York sufficiently to enable us to see clearly the result of the contest. 'The Whigs of course have carried the State, but that was expected : the only matter iu doubt was, whether the "IIards"or the "Softs" would poll the larger vote. Both sections put forth their whole strength, as the chief contest was between them. The administration took a lively interest in the conflict, and rendered the freesoil section alt the "aid and comfort" in their power, and their influence is observable in the excess of the free soil vote in the city, over the same vote in 1848. Before the election, the administration were led to believe that not onl would die freesoilsrs out number the old line democrats three to one at least, but that there was a strong probability of their beating both the Whigs and the Hards, and carrying the State ; tbe result, therefore, must have greatly astonished Pierce and his Cabinet. W hether it will induce him to change his course or not, remains to bo seen. I do not think it will. He is obstinate and dogged, and may be expected therefore to persist in the course he has been pursuing. Besides, '"Prince John" is here, and with im Mr. Collector Red field, the successor of Judge Bronson, which bodes nothing favorable to the Adamantines. The general belief among democrats seems to be that tha object of their visit is, in the first plaoe, to explain to the administration the causes of their defeat, and to show them how they can hereajter carry the State ; and in the second place, t(jarraDge for removing obnoxious indi viduals from the Custom House, and filling their places with good and faithful vassals who have done yeoman service for the administration in the late battle, in endeavoring to defeat the "old liners." At any rate, it is a sign f something, to see John Van Buren, at this particular time, coming on here and partaking, in the most friendly manner, of the hospitalities of the White House. Well, we must say this for him: he is a real Van Buren for political management, and has proved himself more thau :i match for the President and his whole Cihinut all of whom he has used, and i now usiu, tor his own pur ft - 4 poses Since Mr. Crampton, the British Minister, remonstrated inperson with the President, up 1 r on tne continued misrepresentations ot the Union, in regard to the alleged intention of En gland to Africanise Cuba, that paper has not ceased reiterating the charge, though in a more cautious form. Tbe usual annual commercial tables are being prepared in the office of the Register of the Treasury, for the use of the President and Se cretary of the Treasury. The imports will probably show a total of about two hundred and seventy miliums of dol lars, and the domestic exports about one hun dred and fifteen millions, being an excess of imports over last year of sixty millions of dol lars and upwards, and a falling off in the do mestic exports. These items I gather from com mercial statements in the rtew York papers. Two or three members of the Senate have arrived and located themselves for the winter, and others are expected soon. One or two of the candidates for the Speakership of the House are here. The aspirants for this post will be numerous. Among the most prominent candi dates are Mr. Disney, of Ohio, Gen'l Bailey, of a., and Mr. Urr, ot b. U. Mr. JJisney will be supported by the friends of Ocn'l Cas. Ha is Hard, and no tavorite ot trie Administra tion, having expressed himself verv lreely in condemnation of the course of policy it has pur sued, and having himself been disappointed of the mission to France, to which he laid claim. The contest for the public printing will be be tween the Union and the Sentinel. In this, as in the other elections, the Whigs will have it in their power to turn the scale in which ever di rection tiiey may think the public good requires. They will of course not be disposed to throw their Weight into the scale of an administration which has everywhere proscribed them. Their Bvmpathies must bo with the " Ilards," between whom and themselves there is now but very little difference in principle, and less in feelinir A meeting of the " Hards was held here last night( pursuant to a call, Which was attended by many " Softs," who went for lha purpose of breaking it up.

The New York Pacific Railroad company Will aopear here this winter in formidable array, for the purpose of obtaining governmental aid, in the form ot immense grants 01 iana, anu a contract, amounting to hundreds of millions in the end, for transporting the mails, troops, mu nitions of war and other public property over the road when completed. It is said that the Company will have a contingent fund, to bo raised by a very small assessment on the stock of half a million, to carry on their operations with. A telegraphio dispatch was received by the President yesterday, informing him that Mr. Atherton, Senator from New Hampshire, and his especial and reliable friend in the Senate, was in a precarious condition. He had been struck with paralysis. Should he even recover, he will probably be incapacitated from taking an active part in the business of the Senate. OBSERVER.

The resolutions having been read; D.

This created great excitement, amid which Wendell replied. He said he was instrumental in calling thin mseting, and asked if the President had carried out the principles of the democratic party? Loud cries of "yes" and "no" much excite mentthree cheers for Dickinson, Ac. . Mr j Overtcd, after the turmoil had subsided, was Scalled out, and briefly stated that the great quesron was not opposition to thq administra tion but whether freesoilism should be an el niKiil in the democratic partr. The question on the resolutions was called, when Mr. liatclifl'e reminded gentlemen that this was an attack on tho administration. Wen dell denied it. when much excitement followed, parties almost coming to blows. Somebody moved an indefinite postponement of the reso lution. Another wanted to offer a substitute. Before the question was distinctly put, Wm. H. Thomas, deputy collector of this port, sprang upunj the platform, and moved an adjournment, priory to which he proposed three cheers for the Administration, which were givn. Wallach, ihe ciairtrtri, then struck Thomas, knocking him from the platt'oAn, w lien a general melee ensued, lasting sometime, but ending in noth ing serious.

One ofjthe most distressing fights it has ever Deen our duty to record, occurred on board the steamboat Dresden, last Friday, at or near Hele na, Arkansas. Our information in rezard to this affray is to this effect: An American lady and her children had taken deck passage on the Dresden, on their wy south. The lady was not accompanied by a male protector. Before she arrived at Helena, some Irishmen on the deck had interfered with and abused the lady to such a degree, that she found it necessary to complain to the officers of the boat. They de clined to protect her, and sent her back to the cabin. Here the Irishmen again insulted the lady, and finally whipped her children. She a gain appealed to the officers of the boat for pro tection, telling them that, although her necessi ties had compelled her to take a deck passaee. yet she was a respectable -woman. But the of ficers again refussd to interfere in her behalf, upon hearing which, a noble souled KeMuekiaa iwnom Uua preserve) volunteered to protect her. and accompanied her to the second cabin. When" they arrived at the door, he was accosted by an Irishman, who was standing there with an iron poker in his hand, upraised, and questioned as to ha intention to aid the woman. The Kenturk- lan immediately shot tbe Irishman, when the gangrushed upon him. He killed three of them, and wounded a fourth.-the ball glancing from his ribs and killing a woman in an adjoining berth. The Kentuckian was cut very badly with knives, and we regret to hear his life was dispatrsd &f. We were on board of the Dresden when shs landed at this port. There was a large numberof passengers on tin boat. It is astonishing that none of them interfered to save the life of a fellow-man assaulted by a mob. Memphis Whig. Tnii PIG AND WHISTLE. "You can't make a whistle out of a pig's tail," says the proverb. Yankee ingenuity, however, has put the provsrb out of countenance. We saw a very noat little whistle yesterday, manu factured out of the caudal extremity of a juven ila porker ; and a gentleman sent four to the Museum last Wednesday, we are told, with a whistle at one end and a mouth-accordeon at ths other ! The maker of these last curiosities had bn ngaged in a laudable effort to cure an almost hopeless inebriate of his disposition to indulge too freely ia strong drinks, when a neighbor, in ridicule, assured him that his labor would be vain vain as an attempt to make a whistle out of a pig's tail ! "I think i, could even do that," said our phil anthropist. "I'd give a dollar for one," was the rsply, by way of bravado. That stimulus was enough: the thing was done. The whistle was exhibited to us, and is a singular proof of human genius on a small scale. After looking at it, we innocently asked if it would be possible to make a silk purse out of a female porker's ears, and thus place another proverb hors da combat ? We have not been answered yt Sunday Times. A NEW DIGEST.

He alludes in appropriate terms to the demise of Richard Taylor, Assistant Principal Chief; to the murder of Andrew Adair and lias son Geo. W. Adair, and gives a history of the circumstances connected with it ; and then urges further legislation for the sup pression of mobs and unlawful assemblages. lie says, that the late delegation to Washington failed in their mission to sell to the Government the " Neutral Land," so called ; and he pro tests against a claim set up by Thos. L. Cling man, on bebalf of the Cherokees who remain in North Carolina, to a certain interest in the proceeds of said land, in case it should be re purchased by tbe United States. This failure leaves the finances of the Nation in an embar rassed condition. He proposes the establish ment of a permanent azent at Washington ; speaks of the Temperance reformation as hay ing progre8ed to a gratifying extent ; and says that education is meeting with increased favor among the people. The boundary indicated for the proposed territory of Nebraska, would, if established, encroach on the lands of the Cherokees ; and to this invasion of their rights, guarantied by the United States government, the message -recommends that a solemn protest be entered, ; Dudley Clanton, Esq., died of Consumption, in the Town of Halifax, on the 7th insti, in the 27th year of his age. Throughout his protrac ted illness he manifested patience in his suffer ings and submission to his fate. It may be gratifying to his friends to know, that he re ceived during his confinement all the attention and all the cemforts that friendship and ample means could procure, Mr. Clanton was endowed with a sprightly mind and a liberal education. He graduated at an early age at the University of N. C, and was elected by his fellow-citizens of Halifax County in the year 1850 to represent them in the State Legislature, While serving in that capacity, he formed a number of friendships, and some, who may read this announcement, will still cherish his memory and regret his ear ly dissolution. Roanoke Republican. President Pierce is a fortunate man and the blind goddess never fixed upon any of her favo rites with mqre of her customary discernment. jjuck which stands, tor the undeserving, in place of Providence has helped him, without valor, to laurels, without talents, to greatness. But, above all, he is more than thrice happy in tbe peculiar witnesses to his merits, that never showed themselves until after his success. He had Pillow to testify to his courage : he has Cush ing to testify to his principles. N. O. Delta. . A Bath (Eng.) paper mentions an amusing ease of absence of mind, which was witnessed near that city not long since.

In these times, when the Whigs themselves -are too ready to give in to the idea that the i ranks of tne party bave become so broken and confused, that they eannot be rallied again, distrust in the political faith of a candidate, however mis placed it may be, must be tbe greatest misfor tune and sorest bindranccHtu success. If we d- eire to heal division, and come before the peo ple of North CaroKna,;witlt; wbole: Jhwjfe, we must follow the lead of a man, wbof at no hour of hialife, ever inspired a doubt to to bia osi- tion. . In savinr that Mr. -Crierfv4ein nn a this one essential of ean3itateTor (Sovtrnor, nothing, it is hoped, will be implied deroratorv to the character of any one else." ILi m aad h always been a Whir. In no boor of trial of his party, and under no circumstances, hair ha yielded an inch of greand or compromised a principle. If any. particular section of the State demands.' in a candidate for this hieh honor, one who- has favored or will favor any measure peculiar to it. we may sar. that Mr. Cherry has, on every great occasion, gond the length, which the most liberal interpretation of Whig principles would allow. His politics are not contracted, thouerh' he mav have been mid- ed by superior prudence to some of his cotem- poranes. His course as a political man is be fore the State. As a leader in the House of Commons, for several years Dast. he has hM . i position before tho public, in which he stands ' thoroughly identified with almost every mea- i sure which the Whig party have sustained in the Legislature. His reputation as a popular orator, his art and skill in canvassing, bis mi nute and accurate knowledge of politics, and his thorough practice in the use of those wea pons of war which.- bis adversary may compel him to take up in a political contest, conspire to mark him as the man for the occasion. We have no desire to forestall public opinion, by proposing thus early a gentleman, whose talents entitle him to consideration in choosing for any representative or Executive position. Nor do we know that we should have cone thus far in mentioning him, did we not fear that the desire, which must exist in Bertie, to retain him as her representative, might cause his claims to this distinguished position to be passed by, B. FOR THE REGISTER. Friend Galis: I see that it is stated in the Catalogue of premiums, that to Thomas Lindley was awarded the highest premium for the best variety of fruits, and my name is not mentioned in the list, luisis an error. Thomas Lindley had no lot of fruits there, only those in the collection that he and I exhibited jointly. Therefore, I look upon it as a pure mistake for, to show what injustice it does me, ; I may state, that I furnished 44 kinds of apples, and two kinds of peaches, where is he only furn ished 15 kinds of apples, and nothing else, as I know of. And : the kinds' he furnished were the same kinds that I furnished, with only two exceptions, and those of two inferior fruits for cultivation here. So, he could not receive the premium, for the fruits were not his, but his and m-me :0intT Tha award shMd have be eh to Joshua & Thomas Lindley, or J. & T. Lindley, as the firm used to be, but which is now dissolved. Besides my fruits being by far the best collection, they were generally altogether superior to his ; and we agreed to exhibit together, to make the bet ter display. I trust my friends in and about Raleigh will have this error corrected, for many of them will well remember those splen- did fruit that werc ad on the table in Flo. ral n&11 which fruit8 were , chiefly the same that I took there. Editors who have published the catalogue of premiums will please do ine the justice to in sert this note, and it will much oblige me. Very respectfully, Thy friend, JOSHUA LINDLEY.
