In publishing recently, without cemment, tlie resolutions of th Sampson Cwventkra of Uni- geissiists, w did not mean to intimate, (as we were very far from believing,) that any decision of Judge ilCg could, proceed from any motive tat a high sense of duty, and an enlightened con- rtinft.tfafJ&jrtcaw of the land. The j vi uis uvuvi is mm iuu vicar, uiu, aa th point rnvclved is new one, will be read with general interest. u u' ' Judge Manly, however, has been misinformed a ia44s itha. first, pqbUcaripn of .the. fcampson .IxefotttkMaaboTe alluded to.. They were orifi - naUy.BnUiabed in the Tatboro Southerner;' from which paper we copied them. WU. Eerald. '.-.. Ecthzbtobd, Dec. 1st, 1856. If a. Fjrroa: The Resolutions of the Sampson ' Convention having appeared for the first time iu the Wibningtoto Herald, as I am informed, I Iiojmj yon wilt-dome the favor to publish also in your paper the statement of the matter which I here with, aend. I am, respectfully, your ob't servant,. Matt. E. MajtLy. "A decision of mine in Jackson comity has been u.. made tlie subject of .denunciatiou by a titate Coii- Vention of the UniTersahst denomiuation of Chris ' tians in Sampson county. Public censure comiug from so respectable a source requires of me to make a statement of the facts, which, I am sat isfied, hare been misunderstood,-and which arc necessary to enable the public to judge rightly Except the form of affirmation provided for Quakers, Mennonists and Tunkers,' there arc only -two,. If trms of oaths by which persons can " be qnaaoed to give testimony ia North uuolnn. - An oath on the Holy Gospe)s,artd ffor those wbo Lave scruples of conscience about swearing) sn appeal to God with, uplifted hand. These forms j A j may be seen by reference to, the Revised Statutes to'thebeuning of the chapter' on the subject of T'witnieaa mxjueation,when offered, declined taking "an; 'oatn ' tfpofc the Holy Gospels, in the usual form',' on the ground of conscientious seru lea : and the clerk was about to swear him: in rViL alternative form prescribed by the aes-of As "tiJewtly, when it was objected thaTUTd&fiot be - Kevf jit future state of rewards and nuniak-. ''. . anenta. ; Upon examination, he stated he believed " all persona would be saved from their sips, and exempted from pains and penalties for them K - together in the next world that sin bad its pen t khasent ia this life, but none in the life to come." " ' ' By reference to the terms of the oath which it --' ww proposed to administer to him, ft will atotire' be seen that he could npt take thai form of oath It is in the following words : u I appeal to God" as Hie witness of truth and the avenger ol talse J . bood, I abaft1 answer the same at the great day oj juagmcta, wnen the secrets Of stl bearts shall be fliade. known, that the evidence that I will i give," &c.''

LSi im .did Hoi beliere jta this sanction, and declinetl ' ' -J- ' taking the oath on the Gospels; and as..hese are vfn oniy two forma in which persons (except Quakers,-&ccan be sworn in North Carolina.it " ' fcUews,- that be conld not be sworn at all, with- l"J "-oot- forcing hia conscience. . Ju his case, there- tore, the Uourt was relieved Irom the dntv of de- . t cUD8'bat are tlieanctions appenled t in the js " ! comtnoa form of oath; and whether, with bis lx- 5lief;lie'coulJ have taken that th. if he had uf- y.J,.tfereor ttt do so. Upon this plain statement. J u.-. tbjnk it migM.be safety snbniitted to the mWt secouVl thonghts of the Convention in Sainpm v , itself, whether their denunciations sgoiust me, in t . ,tU partkular.case stilted, are not harsh and u n- . ..callea for. . . . Whether the belief of the witness ofk-rer- and thua excluded is jbe fcefiepf. the TJniv.mwlirts: ' vi sjiowing, as . i ue never seen any catechism, or other symbolical book, rf cneveoominauoR, except. what bas.beeu promul gated by the Convention in Sampson, the arti cles of their belief ; and that in too ambiguous J to aid me in a decision. J have known, m the pan H UM TKaae wbere i reade, several estima bU genuexnep, who were said to be Universal- BIsts; and I always nnderatood that the charac teristic featare of their belief wns the finite ihi raiion of punishment in the next wtfki. and that all would ultimately be brought into a state of blessedaeea. (jnder that unpre-ion, no objection- was ever made by me, or any btxv else, uu ray pbaesvatiwa, to their competency ; n .r do I think that airy just objection could be made. It ia due, however, to candor, to state, that if tee creed ot the L uiversalist enibracxsi a -lenial of all accountability and pnnisLmeut in the next world, for sins committed in the b.j.ly, and un re pented of and unatoued for at ileath. lie is not a competent witness, as the law now stands in North Carolina, according to my opinion. Puij- wnmeni, as wen as reward, in a tuturc state, is a necessary belief. In conformity with this opin ion, a decision was made hy me at the last Court for Cherokee County, and tb point, with others. ucvii mcurp.irieu ra a cane anti sent to the Supreme Court from that County. I trust it will , . I aittled in some way ; no person in the land - will more cheerfully acquiesce in, and conform - to, the decinion, if it be against my opinion ; uone be more willing, in case the opinion is sus tained, to have the law altered so as to embrace - the excluded elan. My settled convictions have ever been in favor of a non-interference, mi the part of the cifil authority, either directly or in directly, whether by legislation or otherwise, with wfigioos liberty. ; ;. . Itis not mv intention, at this time, to di ' fit large th que tin of law involved io tlve opin- umvu nere expressoa. liut as 1 have tw en , eaBed before the public, H may net be amiss for me to 'assure sueh as take any interest in the mattej, that it has never been made by me a auestion of theology, of expediency, or of (Terli niity, but simply of emnpeieney under tiie law. And believing the weight of 'authority and rea soning to be against the competency of the wit ness tendered, it became my duty to say so. In this, the judicial officer has no discretion, but must pronounce the law as it is impressed npon Ids mind. . I am aware there are conflicting decisions in other States : and, in our own State, circuit deci sions have been made both ways, recently, aa 1 tbis-toiat. But the t pvofesal understanding ''ham been generally in-unison with my opinion. And the provisions made by our, Legislature for qualifying witoeraes to give teatknutiy'-manifest-i ry recognize pnnwnjnent of the sin ot nerjury in a future state as a necessary belief. The frs8.nn given by Judges and others to untusrmctcd drrd ignorant persona, in every case wbih luis fallen Under ray bbservaiitti, bave bad fiw their burtlien th'u dVgmaof puniiJiment hereafter.

NaC 1 XtefJAY MORNING, DEC. 12, 1856. CONORESSr Thcbsdat, Detxniber' 6.'-Mtd the Senate, Mr. H de's resolution was taken up.

Mr. Qunter thought such a proceeding alto gether uuusual, as the message would probably contain all tbe information asked for. Tbe reso lution lies over. In the House, the ballotings were continued. Six ballotings were taken, and tbe last resulted as follows: K. A. Richardson, (Illinois,) 71 L. D. Campbell, (Ohio,) 46 N. P. Banks, (Mass.,) ; 21 Alex. C. E. Pennington, (N, J.,) ' 20 ' Henry M. Fuller, (Penn.) 21 John Wheeler, pf. Y.) 13 Fiday, December 7. In the Senate, Mr. Weller gave notice of bis intention to introduce a bill authorizing the facilitating the construction of a railway and telegraph to the Pacific Ocean. After a short executive session, tbe Senate ad journed. The House continued balloting for a Speaker. On the first ballot, tbe Vote stood : Richardson, ; 73 Campbell, 74 Banks, 11 Fuller, 20 Pennington, 9 Wheeler, 11 After the second ballot, Mr. Campbell rose and stated that although he had received the highest number of votes of any opposition candidate, it was obvious be could not be electedr unless he repudiated his well known principles on Slavery and Americanism ; and in order to facilitate an organization, he would withdraw bis name as a candidate. ' , After the withdrawal of Mr. Campbell, four ballots were taken. The last and 27th ballot re sulted as follows : Richardson, .- 73 Banks, . 49 Fuller, 28 Pennington, 17 Wheeler, 7 Zollicoffer, (Tenn.) 9 1 cauA i , uecemoer am. six more un successful ballotings for Speaker were had in the House of Representatives. The last and Thir ty -third stood : - Richardson, (Dem.) 78 Banks, (Free Soil,) 100 . Fuller, 4Wbig.) . s0 Zollicoffer, (Wbig, g Pennington, (Whig,) 2 How long it will be before an organization can be effected, it is impossible to foretell. The most ingenious and varied speculations have been put forth by the newspapers and their Washington correspondents. Almost every one has his own theory in regard to the result of theeflforts to elect the officers of the House. These speculations and theories do not, in our opinion, merit grave consideration. All sorts of rumors in regard to all sorts of coalitions prevail, and there would be a score of speakers and clerks if all the various ' candidates whose success has been predicted by their friends and partisans could succeed. What a day or an hour may bring forth, we will not undertake to say. On one memorable occasion, the organisation of Congress was not effected for about three weeks. Such protracted delay is not impossible at the present time. Upon this state of things tlie "Alexandria Gazette " very properly observes : " The politi cians who are now swarming in Washing ton, insiders and outsiders, labor under a great mistake when they suppose that tbe mass of the people sympathise with their ex. cited feelings, or take the interest they do in the various schemes afloat, intended to have a bear ing upon future pohtical events. The excitement of the people, when it shows itself, will be at the unnecessary delay of tbe House, iu proceeding to the discharge of duty and the execution of the public business- not, particularly, as to who shall be Sneaker, provided the man be opposed to sectional agitation,and a friend to the Union of the States and the Constitution. If the pres ent state of things lasts much longer, we shall see that excitement manifested not in the pur lieus of the Capitol not In the heated atmo phere of Washington hotels not amongst the Wlrcworkers and irty managers.but swelling up in Indignant remonstrance front the honest people of the country, qutetly pursuing their ac customed avocations, and anxious more for the horjb?,'welftre, arid piosperity of tbe nation, than for any temporary success of parry, or any combination of party-men having reference to the nest Presidential election. The public mind, up to this time, is perfectly calm. It wfits, pa. tiently, as yet. But it will not wait, thus pa tiently, much longer. Every "day's delay" now gives food for agitation, and enables the intriguers to throw In more elements of discord. Let there lie auend o this," Destbcctivk Fib is Norfolk.

Tnat is, if anything should be done, iriccasistenf with ti e support by the Prince aa-1 his Soft colleagues of Martiu Van Buren in 1343. of which kesav.sth.ey "were proud then and bive been prouder every daySiince''-:-or mconsUtout with tJnbr opposition to the ftknUsinn of Rahsns 'asi'ilSxp Stafe.' then he will yse U ..proper exei-tioiis ,to .lee a the pecntneea eft the ;6 invention .;'be't?i -,n basr alrtady dtchr6(V U tosukJ tbat'the ad- Bweuwoi sue iiunaia pwtiorra,wiu e aainnie.: to .tb C?nxKnrmtiC)nviortt lo o- foco jouma's prx-laim with vel.emeut ecu tempt, that they ought to be kicked out of the Democratic party. When either of these deshm's is sought to' be carried out, we "think, there will be a "plausible inference'' that the prty with which it has been the PrincpV pride to net is meant to be " subjected to reproach" .nut the contingency will have oertirred, on the happen ing of which he announces bis determination to oppose the nominees of the Convention. More over, the Georgia delegates are instructed to raise an issue njionv the Nebxaska-Rarisus l ili, an issue which wiil separati them Irreconcilably t'ryin tlie Prince and his p:irty. '-Should tbe Georgia test be accejited by the C nventi--n, another ' plaus ible inference" of reproach will arisecompeHing him to oppose the nominees Should tliat test not be acr-ptod, then ttr Go irgia delegates are pl-hged to withdraw.

It seems as if Divine Pnividsnce wmietimes, by way ,.f warning to tin we wlto squander tiine away in the ursuit or acquL-titioa of tritles aod ainuie meuts, unites a v.uring'aud elevated gouius to a delicate aud itnbeciie body .1 genius that is able to explain the Sciences and cKnib the Alpine heights of learning, while the sickly and emacia ted frame is dragged along hfter it, in sp. te of all itaineiaabrineesv TLiUH . fared it with that ac complished Poet; Hkxry Kisk Whiti:, v,j,o died 4 at the early age of koeitiy-vnei- YYi.iiv siek'c-s chained him to his bed, he c u!d h,.i 1 hiuh and impressive converse with"hi Muse, and cdinly plunge into the grave, regretting only that Lis constitution was incompetent to keep pn.-e with the euergies of his mind. Bcbke says finely, "jealous luvo lights iis torch at the firebrands of the furies." It is a fact worth noticing, that in the celebra ted Ode on the Passions, by Collins, Love is not persouified iu it. Dr. Lasghobxe, iuj his sketch of the life of Collins, remarks " that he is one of the few Poets who have sailed to Delphi, with out touching at Cythera ;" and adds " it is very remarkable, that in his Passions, an Ode for Mu sic, Love is omitted, though it should have made a principal figure there." Among the fopperies which, in the dark ages, supplied tlie place of learning and taste, there were noue more remarkable, none on which more labor was wasted to less useful purpose, than the Palindromes, or rocurrout verses, as they are call ed, from their reading the same, letter by letter. back-ward and jopcards. The most numerous specimens are to be found in the Latin language, a few in the Greek, and bua solitary one in the English, it is said, viz : Lewd did I live and evil I did dwel. But the most beautiful specimen occurred in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, A lady being banished the Court, sent to the Queen this de vice : The moon covered by a cloud, and the fol lowing palindrome for a -motto: Jhlata ai alba Secluded biUpure. -To suffer well is the highest praise that mau can earn ; to accommodate the fiery and restless spirit to the uuoontrollable changes of f;U, not notching tis days of misery in passive helpless ness, but wearing his manhood undauntedly about turn, is -the true test of, greatness of soul, which shows must brilliant in surrounding darkness. - Military renown is, of all others, the most bril liant and the most fading. It'is a splendid me teor, which blazes and expires. ' There are but few things which tend more de cidedly to promote our happiness, to give vigor loathe mind" aiid Jamnfetfoti-'to the spirits, than the pursuit of some'' useful profession or bon, Ta ble attainment ; and" perhaps there is nothing more useful and honorable, more interesting ml pleasing, than the tmrsuit of knowledge, In the words of Owen Feltham, " Knowledge. ,istthe guide of youth - to manhood, a companion and to old age, a cordial and an antidote.
