our City the honor of a visit on Wednesday
evening last, remaining over until this Fri

pleasant interchange of courtesies that has ta

the present, to say, that the occasion has passed
off most pleasantly, and that the "Jpniobs," to

MR. SPEAKER HILL and INDEPENDENCE
MONUMENT.
Perhaps the most inglorious part of Mr Hill's
Speakership of the House of Commons was in re
lation to the bill providing to aid in the erection
of a Monument in Independence Square in Phila
delphia, commemorative of the Declaration of In.
dependence.' A similar bill has passed nine of
the Loiski urea of the old Thirteen States. This
bill provided that North Carolina should also
concur in the patriotic work. The bill bad
parsed the Senate unanimously eve,ry Senator
voting for it and the Speaker, on leave, had
Lis name recorded in its favor. The bill was
sent to the House of Commons, and there it was
kepi on the table for nearly six weeks, the
Speaker refusing to call it up, whilst bills sent
there four or five weeks afterwards were an
nounced from day to day. He was often ap
pealed to by men of both parties to call up the
bill, but he positively refused, giving as his on
ly reason for being opposed to it that it, pro
posed to spend money in a State where they
stole nigyera." The sight previous to the last
one of the session, he graciously allowed the
bill to ciuie up. Dut-as soon as the bill was
read, he vacated the Chair, and went all over
the fl oor of the II u-e electioneering against it
Those acting with him, seeing from the de-
uionsrrations in the House, that the bill would
be passed by a large majority, if a direct vote
could be had on it, commenced moving adjourn
nv-nts, calls of the House, to lay on the table,
&c, and calling the yeas and nays on every
such motion. and this gaaue they kept up till
LI o'clock, when the friends of the bill yielded
V ) nn adjournment; and thus the bill was lost.
Vi'iiii-t this lust humiliating spectacle was being
pr ei. tad, .Mr. Hill's agents were going about
'the II ill. vome sv earing it should not puaa that
ni ii:tt, and others cursing it as an " infernal
Know-Nothing concern."
Every patriotic son of North Carolina has
I caue to hang his head in shame, at the posi
tion our State is thus made to assume. The
Monument will be built, whether we aid in it
or not, and we fear it will now be too late for
North Carolina to participate in the glorious
work. Could the vote have been taken, we do
not believe, from what we saw, (for we were in
the Hall at the time,) that there would have been
fifteen votes against it. If Mr. Hill had not kep
the bill back tu the last moment, it would have
been passed triumphantly, and to no one but him
. t 1 . P 1. f .1 ' w
is me aeieai 01 me measure due. we were
pleased to see that it was not made a party
question. Many of the Democrats of the House
were its warmest and most active friends.
Sj indignant were many members of the
House, that they would not be present when
the usually formal vote of thanks was moved
at the close of the session. Let Mr. Hill re-
vel and riot in the honor he no doubt feels be
has achieved, in defeating this bill. lie may
havi gratified his personal malignity, but he
has jpeeply wounded the pride and the honOr of
Norrh Carolina. We conclude our notice of
tbis humiliating subject, by asking, in the lan
guge used by Mr. lUjner in bis speech on this
bill, when it was before the Senate :
"What must be the feeling of every true heart

future visit Philadelphia, and from curiosity.

"This will be very abort war, and certainly
ended in campaign. or two," said AIrJitt in
1. 93. at the moment when Great Britain bad
made her headlong plunge into thai tremendous
struggle which ended at . Waterloo 'twenty -too
year afterwards. The science 4 of political
prophecy baa made small progress, among" the
English since Mr. Pitt's time. "This will be a
short war," was the general cry from all gar
ters in England when she took her headlong
plunge into the present war. Thank heaven 1
cried members of Parliament, newspaper wri
ters; pamphleeters, tc by the, hundred and
thousand -"thank heaven, we. can crush our ar
rogant enemy at a single blow' ' They forgot
that in war especially war with Russia there
are blows to take aa well as blows to give. '
I When we ventured (says, the Boston Couri
er,') to pronounce at the commencement of the
"1
present struggle; that this was the most foolish
War ever undertaken by Great Britain a war
in jwhieh, she had everything to low and noth
ing to gain a war which, instead of ending
with a campaign in the Crimea, would be found
to be only in its commencement at that point
of time, we were greeted with sv shoot of deri
sion from some of our eotemporaries. These
gentlemen, having adopted ths very wise course
of bearing only one side of the Eastern ques
tion, were amaxed. to think that any mortal
co? Id doubt the fine tories and; disregard the
swaggering vaunts of anticipated victory, put
forth by the London newspapers.7 "Positively,
it eeemed as if they believed a few goose quills
were sufficient to fight out the war, and that
Russia was to be conquered by leading articles
in the Times and Chronicle. It baa been a
hard matter to get this notion out of the heads
of some people, but the intelligence frem the
East now supplies us with evidenoe against it
so sharp and weighty as almost to threaten to
penetrate the skulls in which so preposterous
an idea was engendered. '
The entire failure of the expedition to the
Crimea ia now too manifest to be concealed.
The capture of Sevastopol is no longer serious
ly i thought of. The anxiety at present ! to
save the wretched remnant of the army there.
Sixty or seventy thousand - men , of the allied
t ?oops have been lost, and a hundred millions
of dollars expended in the fruitless attempt to
capture one Russian town 1 The; sufferings of
the survivors are dreadful beyond description.
Such a catalogue of miseries as the letters from
the Crimea now present to us we never read
before except in the history of the Moscow cam
paign. The English soldiers are rotting in
ditches under a midwinter sky : literally "dy
ing of starvation and cold." Rough and stout
hearted veterans, who fought at Alma and In-
kermann, are seen crying like children as they
march to the trenches to be chilled to death
with ditch water and the north wind. When
we predicted six months ago, that the allies
would 'find ia the Crimea worse enemies than
the Russians namely, the climate and the hos
tile elements," we felt certain that pur lan
guage would be confirmed by the event, but we
hardly expected so painful a mass of evidence
as we now have before us. We have not heard

anything for the unhappy British soldiers,
When the accounts of their sufferings first
reached England, they were prom ptlycontradict-
ed by the publication that everything was going
on well the soldiers were perfectly comfortable,
and Sevastopol was as good as taken. But the
delusion could not be maintained.' . Thicker and
faster came the cries of distress from the army
mixed with the appalling statement that Se vas
topol was "as strong as Gibraltar." The Eng
lish people are behind no other in obstinate
Belf-deception,. but there is alimit to this faculty
even with them. A parallel, to j their condition
may be found in the Athenians at' the time of
their expedition to Sicilythe- Crimea of Athe
nian wars. The despatch sent home by Nici
as when he found himself JBurooyned at Syra
cuse might be penned by Lord Ragland with.
( the alteration of a single word.

ggfThe Baltimore American, commeniingon
the late Veto of the President alludes to the
frequent prostitution of that power to purposes
for which it was never conferred by the consti
tution, and by which it is r&ade the. active a
g?nf in defeating the wishes of the country
and the intentions of Congress. It continues :
The veto power was confided to the- President,"
we think only to be. used in the gravest emergen
cies ; to guard, against legislation passed under
the hasty impulse of popular excitement, or to
prevent the enactment ol laws conflicting with the
Constitution. The whole spirit of republicanism
forbids the assumption that it was designed to eu-
wible the ' President to override" the decisions of
Congress upon questions, wntcu are not suscepti
ble to those objections, but in relation to which he
may differ from the majority ol the , immediate
representatives of the people. Its exerciae ; "cannot
be justified in the decision of questions of expL-dwn-cy,
of political dilferencepr olcontested facts, &od
when brought to Dear upon any considerations bat
those weV have referred to it becOines-SMfi auiocrati'
cal power, repugnant in the very essence of liberty.
and capable 01 being made tne veuiule 01 obstmau

In the hands of an unscrupulous President it may

which depend its vital operations. ' In fact there
i no limit to the authority of the President, if he
cap; properly exercise this extreme prerogative
upon occasions when neither a violation of the
Constitution nor the objection oT inconsiderate leg
islation can be properly urged. He' concentrates
at once tu himself the whole power of die Govern
ment, destroys at a blow the independence of the
Legislative department, and by a. pernicious in
dulgence of power exhibits the despotism of olbce
u iti most qtfeosive form.
" The veto of the Spoliation bill is manifestly
open to all these strictures Upon constitutional

The cordiality and harmony subsisting among
them is also a ciu-e for gratitude ; belongiiig
to different denominations, they have labored
hand in hand, utamfexiog th pmvpr of that
Gospel which in ikes nil o-, in C irist Jesus.

Dear Sir : By this time, you will have learn

Flour, Cotton, Pens and various other articles,

of us who have bjpn poking i th? arrival of a

a time, this was the most grsitifying spectacle

Chatham. There is no mistake aU.ut it. this
