RALEIGH; N. C.
Saturday, July 21, 1849.
$3- We received onvyesterday a copy of Mr.
Calhoun's Address to the People of the South, but
liave not yet had leisure to give it a perusaL
TE MPHFtAXT CE CTUiEB RATION.
We learn that Concord and Phoenix Divisions
of the Sons of Temperance are making arrange
ments for a Public Celebration, on Saturday, the.
1 1th of August, and that they invite their Breth
ren throughout the State, the friends of the cause,
and the Public generally, to be present. The
ceremonies will consist of the presentation of a
Banner to Concord Division by the Young Ladies
of the Raleigh Female Classical Institute the
work of their own fair hands to be accompanied
bv appropriate addresses. We learn, also, that it
is in contemplation by a number of the Ladies of
the City to present a Bible to Phoenix Division,
on the same occasion. The Exercises of die day,
will be the offering of Resolutions by Sous of
Temperance, to.be followed by addresses from
Ch. C Rjlbotcaxt, S. W. Whiting, andHxxav
W. Maxra, Esquires.
The preparations for this Celebration are such
as will make it alike interesting and imposing.
The large and flourishing Order of the Sons of
Temperance, so constantly increasing, is expect
ed to be well represented ; and we cannot doubt
that the occasion will be of a character to make
a deep impression upon the community.
Full particulars, and a Programme of the Ex
ercises, will appear in a subsequent paper.
Tastes Will Differ.
At the Fourth of July Celebration, at Orange
burg, South Carolina, the Southern Address was
read in place of the Declaration of Independence.
The Virginia Legislature refused to adjourn
over the 4th of July !
In North Carolina, we are proud to say, the
Anniversary of our Independence was celebrated
in the usual old fashioned and patriotic style.
Our people met together, on that day, around the
altar of the Country, and renewed their vows
of unalterable devotion to the Union of the States.
Two Governors.
Advices from Florida inform us that Governor
Moselet, the old Democratic Executive,, still
holds on to his office, and intends doing so till Oc
tober next. Governor Thomas Baoww, Whig,
who was elected last fall, has been installed and
is the proper officer. So that Florida is blessed
with two Governors. This difficulty as to the
length of the present gubernatorial term, we be
lieve, had its origin in a late change of the organ
ic law of the State. ,
Ex-Governor McDowell, of Va., was some
time ago nominated for Speaker of the House of
Representatives. Since his brother-in-law Col.
Benton, has been inculcating Free-So ilism, suspi
cion has fallen upon the Governor, and he is call
ed upon by the Locofoco press to define his posi
tion. In the "Tenth Legion" there are signs fa
vorable to Benton, and the Valley Whig says :
" Even among the unterrified Democracy of Bo
tetourt, some of the very best men of the party
have lately declared their preference for Benton
for President against the world. "

The territory of Minesota, is said to be very

The Rev. Dr, Mua&Av, Moderator of the Pres
byterian General Assembly, (O. S.) has issued a
response to the appointment of a Fast Day, by

The newspapers everywhere speak of last Fri

The last Standard L ra ite Wtemotecl retdv to
our late articles upon the question of Slavery, V
vaaea almost every issue that we hare started, and
contents itself hh a few rague and unmeaning
generalities about f every thing in generaL" Very
well. We are perfectly wfllinsr to submit our re-
a
spective arguments side by side, and leave it to an
enlightened and patriotic public to decide between
us. In the meantime, we shall continue to watch
the " Standard's" course in reference to this mat
ter, and shall not fail to expose its recklessness and
insincerity, whenever, in a simulated zeal for
Southern rights, it denounces those who go for a
compromise of the vexed question of Slavery, and
thus proves itself guilty of the one j or, whenever,
by assailing the motives and intentions of those
who may entertain constitutional opinions differ
ent from its own, it shall again convict itself of
the other. Upon all such occasions, we. shall !
hold It up to the reprobation that such conduct
merits.
The " Standard" brings a long list of charges to
prove that we " prefer party interests and party
obligations to the rights of the South." We
might attempt to rebut such accusations, but,
considering the source of their emanation, the
" play is not worth the candle." It is sufficient
to say, that the Standard" misrepresents us
throughout. "A foe who misquotes (or misrepre
sents) you," says the great Essayist of the last
century, Horace Walpole, "ought to be a
welcome antagonist. He is so humble as to con
fess, when he censures what you have not said,
that he cannot confute what you have said ; and
he is so kind as to furnish you with an opportuni
ty of proving him to have uttered falsely, as you
may refer to your books (or course) and detect
him."
In our Country paper of Wednesday next,
however, we shall enter our Debit to the " Stand
ard's" bill of charges.
EDMUND BURKE.
The '5 Standard" charges us with a design to
misrepresent this Gentleman, who has been late
ly associated with Mr. Ritchie in the Editorial
management of the Union. This is not so.
The " Union" itself is our authority for declaring
him to be a man of well known Free Soil affinites.
In that paper of April 17th, it will be recollected,
the following announcement appeared :
" We owe everything to our principles and our
party, and use art making arrangements to infuse
SUeh FURTHER TALENTS A WD XJTERGT INTO OUR
PAPER AS THX OCCASION OBVIOUSLY REQUIRES.
We have great confidence in our cause, as well
as in ourselves ; great confidence in the associate
whom we shall attempt to bring into our establish
ment from the North or Northwest ; and we
trust we are not mistaken when we add, great
confidence in the Republican party. We shall
stand by them j and we appeal to them to stand
by us."
A month later the mystery was unveiled, and the
associate turned up in the person of Edmund
Burke, the Ex-Commissioners of Patents. Now,
when the bill " to organize a territorial govern
ment in the Territory of Oregon, and for other
purposes," was under consideration in the House
of Representatives, Monday, February 3, 1845,
the following amendment was proposed to the
6th section:
" Provided, however. That there shall be neitlt
er slavery nor involuntary servitude in the said Ter
ritory, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes,
whereof the party shall have been duly convict
ed." Globe, 2d, 28th, p. 236.
For this amendment, Edmund Burxe, then a
member of Congress from New Hampshire, vo
ted ; and this vote, according to Mr. Ritchie, makes
him before all the world, an enemy of the South,
a sympathiser with a party of geographical divi
sions and sectional interests ! But this is not all.
Somewhere about the year 1837 or '38, (as we
see it stated) he edited a paper, at Newport, New
Hampshire, called the " Argus and Spectator,"
and through its columns progagated appeals to
" Democratic Abolitionists." He found no fault
then with those wayward disciples of Democracy
for " dissenting from slavery, and desiring its re
moval." Now he maligns Gen. Tatlor for hav
ing called Mr. Ewing and Judge Collamer into
. tiis cabinet. What a fit associate for the guardian
of Southern rightsps a slavery restrictionist and the
friend of " Democratic Abolitionists !" What is
this, we would again inquire, but one of those
"unhallowed combinations" which formerly a
roused all the ire, and excited the " deepest dis
gust" in Mr. Ritchie ! Is W " Standard" satis
fied? 1
Our District.
The Hon. J. R. J. Daioel, one of the Loco
Foco Candidates for Congress, in this District,
addressed a meeting of the citizens of this place,
on Wednesday evening last. His competitor was
not present upon the occasion, and his remarks
were consequently limited. They were mainly
confined to a labored defence of his course in hav
ing signed the Southern Address.
We have nothing to do with this family squab
ble, of course. We would say to our friends,
however
' Give every man thine ear, bat few thy voice ;
Take each man's censure, baf reserve thy judgment?.

in the Newbern District, North Carolina, in a re

idea to make ignorance a recommendation, and
has not, we think, been advanced, since "Sir Wil

papers or common schools in Virginia to corrupt

al canvass now going on in your district, inas
much as the combatants are both of the same po
litical caste. , In this District, however, the con
test is invested with ajlrthat zest and excitement,
which attach to a pungent discussion of "public
men and public measures, by candidates of differ
ent politics. A particular interest, too, is lent it by
reason of the abtiity and oratorical powers of both
the candidates, ana the peculiar and extreme no
tions and position of one of -them on the exciting
question of slavery. For these reasons, I thought
it might not be amiss to send you a brief sketch of
a bout, which occurred a few days since,' between
Messrs. Venable and Nash, at Jones' Grove, in
this County.
The former gentleman led off, and after pass
ing very rapidly over the old issues between the
two parties, he came directly to what he consid
ered the great and all important and absorbing
quesuon oi tne soutn. Air. venable may have
other political faults and in my estimation, their
name is legion yet of one thing he must be ful
ly acquitted, and that is of being non committal on
the subject of slavery. AXe frankly and boldlv took
Ids position, and manfully labored to maintain it.
And what a position ! He says the slave States,
and North Carolina as one of them, should at
once close their ports and their courts of justice
against the citizens of those States, in which their
laws or practice may be inconsistent with that pro
vision of the Constitution of the United States, by
which runaway slaves are required to ' be deliv
ered up on claim of the party to whom their ser
vice or labor may be due."
Now, merely to take a position, (however dif
ficult it may be to define one) is generally a simple
and easy matter; but to-maintain that position is
quite another affair ; especially so, when the premi
ses assumed, every argument used, and all the
conclusions arrived at, are to be subjected to the
keen analysis, the sifting logic, and the skilful
"reductio ad absurdum" of an able and eloquent
competitor. And if there be any one who does
not fully realize the truth of this proposition, I
beg to refer him to the Hon. Abraham Venable,
as being peculiarly qualified to testify on the sub
ject, both on account of some former experience,
and some very recent and deep convictions upon
it.
To proTe that the North had violated the Consti
tution on the subject of slavery, and that the South
had been aggrieved, injured aud insulted, Mr. Ven
able used the statement of principles and facts set
forth in Mr. Calhoun's famous southern address
partly bj an oral rehearsal of them, and partly by
reading from the pamphlet itself. Being through
with that, however, upon what authority could he
lean for his other and ultra doctrines of resistance
and retaliation as be culled: them 7 He had none,
and therefore he launched forth madly upon them in
his own slender b irk ; and he did indeed labor with
his lanes, his hands and his whole body, as if sorely
struggling to bury himself amidst the waves of er
ror and the blasts of folly into which he bad driven.
Finally, he seemed to think that he had struggled
through, and would doubtless have been consoled
with that sweet delusion, but that Mr. Nasb, with a
calm earnestness, a patriotic fervor, a clear logic, and
!min tlMnnM miim) antk a Iftrtn nKnnt Ilia
ears, as to wreck his hopes on that occasion, and
like the ocean swell, to give earnest of the :( coming
storm," which awaits him throughout the district on
the 1st Thursday of August next.
Mr. Nash's effort was strong and impressive.
He was thoroughly with the South on the subject
of slavery, and it' elected, would use his best efforts
to guard her honor and protect her rights ; but he
considered the wild , fanatical spirit of his compe
titor, and the sectional, unconstitutional and un
christian course advocated by him, as infinitely
more blighting in its tendency upon the South
than aught that had ever entered the brains of ab
olitionists or free soiiers. He proposed to close
our ports at once against our Northern brethren,
in the face of the Constitution of the United States,
which expressly gives to Congress the power " to
regulate commerce with foreign nations, and
among the several States," &c. ! He wishes to
close our Courts against their claims, for the col
lection of honest debts or otherwise, notwithstand
ing the Constitution emphatically declares, that
" No State shall pass any law impairing
the obligation of contracts !" Where, asked Mr.
Nash, is the honorable gentleman's conscience
where tht solemn oaiu whici) ad a member of
Congress be had taken to support the Constitu
tion ot the Hinted Stales. All, ail thrown aside
as mere mockery, under the sanctions of that
laUtt morn lny which be has detailed to us to day.
He acknowledges that tlit ee bteps would be un
cutjliiuii ual, but justifies aiid ei. forces I hem, be
caue other have dune wrongfully ! They have
cheated us out of our negroes, and the re lore we
may steal their sheep! They are tree soiiers,
and therefore we will be repudiators they are
abolitionists, and therefore wc may be rogues and
robbers !
And w hy, asked he, should we, an enlightened,
happy and christian people, retort to these dishon
est barbarities; why are we called upou to dis
solve this glorious union? In order, said lie, that
John C. Calhoun may be made President of a
Southern Coufederacy, and have an opportunity
to deal out a few posts of honor, to some of his
peculiar friends and emissaries.
Mr. Nash then gave a sketch nf the character
and political course of John C. Calhoun, on this
subject of slavery. He showed his tergiversa
tions, and his present uliraism ujou i,but proved
that Mr. Venable had distanced Mr. Calhoun and
every other man of character and respectability
in hi proposed quixotic resistance and his revo
lutionary and dishonest retaliation. Mr. Nash
was prepared to stand or fall with the Sooth, but
he hoped and believed, that we were not so dis
affected towards this happy onion, as under the
lead of demagogues and fanatics, to seek its dis
solution, through an open breach of honesty, of
common morality, and of that Constitution which
we were all bound to support. And can it come
to pass, that the 5lh Congressional District of
North Carolina, will be the nrst and perhaps the
only one, in this whole Union, to proclaim, under
the lead of a Virginia abstractionist and fanatic,
the wildest, vilest, most treasonable and disor
ganising doctriues, that have ever found root in
our land ! Forbid it ye freemen of the district
forbid it whigs forbid it democrats.
" If it be any satisfaction to our readers to know
it, we feel proud to inform them that we are a
Southerner by birth, by education, and in feeling;
and that we are now a Carolinian from inclina
tion, with a large family, all identified with South
ern interests." Carolina Republican.

such an - aggravated and distressing : form; ; has
doubtless been productive of many of the benevo
lent and, ssacrificing actionsfor which the fra
ternity of Odd Fellows are So justly distinguished.
A writer, in a.late number of the St. Louis Union,
has commemorated in verse the unselfish kindness
and the unwearying benevolence of that Order,
which have constantly followed the steps of the
frightful destroyer since its fatal appearance in
that City. But we will copy the verses, as they
are far more descriptive and expressive of the
good deeds of the Order, than any words we can
command :
THE ODD FELLOWS.
Now, when the pestilence reigns as a King,
And the holiest tie is a broken thing,
The Brother in heart, with a smile and a tear,
Comes to the home of affliction to cheer.
When the poor wife shrinks from her husband's
breath,
That freights the atmosphere round with death,
The Odd Fellow lingers till life has past,
And he dies in a Brother's arms St last
When the widow turns her despairing head
From her children's famishing cry for bread,
They come to strengthen, to help, to feed,
And the widow's heart is rejoiced indeed.
In the haunts of misery, whenever pain
Chills the warm pulses, or burns the brain ;
Where sorrow, and anguish, and pain abound,
These "Angels of Mercy" are ever found.
With hearts whose promptings are fair as the dove,
They silently go on their mission of love ;
And where " FanNsm" and ".Lova" are power
less to save,
Truth" lights the darkness and gloom of the
grave.
Success to the Order, and flourish it must,
A light to the world, and a guide to the just.
May their pure banner" float o'er the land and the
sea,
And one Odd Fellon make himsf even with me.

MONSIEUR "IGNATIUS MUDD."
We take the annexed article in relation to that
tempest in a tea-pot, which the Rejmblican raised a
week or two since, touching the mission of " Ignatius
Mudd" to Mr. Stanly, from the North State Whig.
The facts, as stated by the Wltig, place the position
of the Republican even in a more ridiculous light than
we had supposed.
4 We copy below a villanous article from the New
bern Republican. We give it in full, that our read
ers may see the desperate efforts resorted to by the
Locofoco leaders in this Congressional district. The
whole thing is false, and only false a sheer fabri
cation. No such person as u Ignatius Mudd" was
" present at the recent Whig Convention." No such
officer as the "Commissioner of Public Buildings in
Washington city" has beeu in this town. No tfvblic
ojJUer from Washington city, " appointed by Gen.
Taylor," has ever been here for any purpose, much
less "to direct the action of the Whig Convention."
No " soict from Gen. Taylor as to whom who shall
be nominated" for Congress has been received here.
It is all a fabrication, out and oat all false false
in the beginning, false in the end, false in the mid
dle all false nothing bat falsehood a villanous
Loocfoco lie, or a hoax.
u And further, we learn, on inquiry of Mr Stanly
himself, that he has never received a line either from
General Taylor or any member of his Cabinet, ex
pressing a wish that he should be a candidate for
Congress.
"Gen. Taylor, therefore, had nothing to do, either
directly or remotely, with the nomination of Mr.
Stanly. How such a falsehood should have got into
a paper making any claims to respectability, is un
accountable, except on the supposition that somebody
here has hoaxed the Republican a species of sport to
which our " B'hoys' are somewhat addicted, and for
which sufficient materials were furnished in the fact
that a gentlemen named H. C. Mudd, a private citi
zen of Maryland, passed through this place at the
time Of the Whig convention."
VENABLE'S LOVE FOR SOLDIERS !
It is one property of the consummate dema
gogue, always to praise and flatter the people,
when he needs their votes to elect him j and yet
when any benefit is to be conferred, or when ser
vices are to be rewarded, the " dear people" are
forgotten, or remembered only to be despised and
ridiculed. After the seat in Congress, or what
ever post the demagogue may be seeking, is ob
tained by flattering speeches, and pretended love
for the common people, when snug and warm in
it, he becomes the proud aristocrat, and any pay
or any benefit for the " people," is laughed to scorn
and hooted at.
Such was the love evinced by Abraham W. Ven
able for the " Common Soldiers," when, on the
8th of May, 1848, a bill was before the House of
Representatives for their relief, allowing them 160
acres of land by way of bounty, for their services.
An amendment had been moved by Mr. Thomp
son, of Miss., extending the benefits of the act to
the Soldiers engaged in the Northwest war prior
to the Treaty of Greenville, in 1785, and to those
who served 12 months in the late war with Great
Britain ; and allowing 80 acres to those who ser
ved 6 months. The subject was debated the
claims of these ' common soldiers" was acknowl
edged to be just.
It was reserved for Abraham Venable to throw,
contempt and ridicule upon the bill, and to show
his scorn for the services of these soldiers by the
following insulting proposition. We copy from
the proceedings, May 8, 1848.
" Mr. VENABLE offered the following amend
ment to the amendment (of Mr. Thompson
" Also those who served thirty days in the Anti
rent war against Big Thunder, and those who
served thirty days in the Mormon war or in the
Dorr war, or in the Whiskey expedition in Penn
sylvania, or in the Buckshot war."
" JVfr. Mc demand rose to order. The amend
ment of the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr.
Venable,") was out of order, as it referred by name
to wars which had no historic or oiner existence.
" The chair sustained the objection, and ruled
the amendment of Mr. Venable out of order."
And yet this is the man who pretends to have
great love for the people and this is the bitter
and contemptuous manner in which he treats a
bill for their relief to pay them a mere pittance
out of our rich abundance of uncultivated land,
which they had defended with their priceless valor,
and sprinkled with their costly blood.
Yes, well might Abraham W. Venable, who
had whined and flattered, and fawned upon and
begged poor men for their votes, seated in his easy
chair at Washington, deride and ridicule and scorn
the claims of poor soldiers, who had fought for
their country ! and insult their just claim for re
muneration, by so contemptible an amendment as
this. Justice to these soldiers demanded that their
claims should be respectfully considered, at least
but what sort of respect did they receive at the
hands of Abraham W. Venable? Ridicule and
contumely I

Buffalo, July 17.
The Board of Health report the occurrence of
89 cases of cholera and 21 deaths, within the past
24 hours, showing a large increase.
Montkeal, July 17.
The cholera has returned and is raging fear
fully ; since Saturday the deaths have amounted
to 45, an increase which is attributed to the sud
den change in the weather since thetortn on
Friday. The thermometer fell from 90 to 60.
The Board of Health have become ahrtned and
afraid to publish correct reports of the progress
of this disease. The cholera is spreading among
the soldiers, but Lord Elgin has refused to allow
them to leave town, although requested to do so
by the physicians.
At Quebec, the disease is worse than at Mon
treal. The deaths are 12 to 15 per day. The
merchants refrain from attending to business, and
persons of the first respectability have died.

The Board of Health report 12 rases and 3
deaths from cholera for the 24 hours ending at

Cincinnati, July 17.
There were 61 deaths from cholera for the twenty

diseases. The weather has taken a most agreeable
change, and is now exceedingly pleasant. We are
beginning to hope for better times. The epidemic
is on the wane.

On Monday there were 61 deaths from cholera
and 27 from other diseRM.
The weather has become more favorabljand I am
rejoiced to announce that the epidemic arofars to be
dect easing. The impression prevailslmong our
citixens. and the same opinion is entertained by some
physicians, that the cause of the great prevalence of
cholera may in some measures be attributed to the
condition of the cellars in the burnt district, many of
which are yet filled with stagnant water.
Business is very dull indeed it has for. some
weeks past been almost suspended. Many of those
who could make it convenient have left the city for
more healthful locations.
THE OVERLAND CALIFORNIA EMI
GRANTS. From the regular correspondence of the St.
Louis Republican, we obtain the subjoined latest
information from the hordes of people who are
making the overland journey to California :
Fort Kxaritv, Indian Territory,
June 10, 1849.
The cry is still they come. Free thousand 'and
ninety-two wagons, at sundown last night, had
moved past this place towards the golden regions
of California, and about one thousand more, 1
think, are still behind. The fever, however, in
many cases, has completely subsided, and in others
a few more doses of rain will put them in a fair
way of recovery. A few are daily turning back,
and many more would follow suit did they not
stand in fear of the ridicule that is most sure to
await them upon reaching home.
I mentioned in my last that a collision had ta
ken place between a party of emigrants and some
Indians, in which the latter had met with some
loss. Since then some more of the particulars
have been made known . It appears the emigrants
were from Ohio, and moving along on the Old
Fort Kearny road, some eighty miles from here,
when they lost two of their cattle. Upon going
in search of them they found their remains, and a
party of about twenty Pawnee Loups at the same
time. Presuming that the Indians had killed their
cattle; which was no doubt the case, they iinme
ately attacked them, killing five on the spot and
wounding six others. Two of the whites were
also wounded, but not seriously. Reportshave just
reached here that a party ot Fawnees are molesting
straffsrunsr emigrants on the St. Joseph road, and
Clinton and Lieut. Ogle, with a company of dra
goons, leave this evening to hunt them up. Many
cases of reported Indian outrages can easily be
traced to other sources, for all are not angels who
are bound for the Pacific. Scarcely a day passes
that some poor fellow is not tumbled oujt on the
prairies, bag and baggage, to shift for himself.
The emigrants have suffered much from the chol
era, and I understand the different roads are stud
ded with graves, from the frontiers (o Avithin eigh
ty or a hundred miles of this place, when all
disease appears to be left behind.

Yard, accompanied by Com. McKeever and ail

Captain Hudson invited all who wished to do so to
come forward and receive the pledge, on which
more than seventy availed themselves of the op
portunity As the apostle left the. ship, the yards
were manned by the sailors, who gave him three
cheers, loud aud long. Father Mathew then in

where he would be in attendance from 9 o'clock
