and God grant that you may devise some

The meeting then adjourned, with three
cheers for the union and Compromise.
PARTIES AND PARTY MEN.
WILLIAM GASTON.
Threats orresistance. secession, separation;
have become common as household words,
in the wicked and siHy violence of public de
claimer. The public ear is familiarized, and
the . public mind wiU' aoon.be accustom
ed to the detestable suggestions of Dmuxion !
Calculations and conjectures, What may the
East do without the South, and what may
the Sooth do without the East? sneers,
menaces, reproaches, and recrimination all
tend to the same fatal end ! What can the
East do without the South? What can
the South do without the East ?
If it must be so, let parties and party men
continue to quarrel with little or no regard to
the public good. They may mystify them
selves and others vith disputations on politi
cal economy, proving the most opposite doc
trines to their own satisfaction, and perhaps
to the conviction of no one else on earth
They may deserve reprobation for their sel
fishness, their violence, their errors, or their
wickedness. They may do our country mo -h
harm. . They may retard its growth, destroy
its harmony, impair its character, render its
institutions unstable, pervert the public mind,
and deprave the public morals. These are
indeed, evils, and sore evils ; but the prin
ciple of life remains, and will yet struggle,
with assured success, over these temporary
maladies.
Still we are great, glorious, united and
free ! stilwe have a name that is reverenced
abroad, and loved at home a name which
is a tower of strength to us against foreign
wrong, and a bond of internal union and har
mony a name which no enemy pronoun
ces but with respect, and which no citizen
hears but with a throb of exultation. Still
we have that blessed Constitation, which
with all its pretended defects, and all its al
leged violations, has conferred more benefit
on man than ever yet flowed from any hu
man institution which has established jus
tice, insured domestic tranquility, provided
for the common defence, promoted the gen
eral welfare, and which under God, if we be
true to ourselves, will ensure the blessings
of our liberty to ua and our prosterity.
Surely, such a country, and such a Con
stitution, have claims upon you, my friends,
which cannot be disregarded. I entreat and
adjure you, then, by all that is near and dear
to you on earth, by all the obligations of
patriotism, by the memory of your fothers
who fell in the great and glorious struggle,
and for the sake of your sons, whom you
would not have to blush for your degenera
cy; by all your proud recollections of the
past, and all the fond anticipations of the fu
ture renown of our nation preserve that
country, uphold that Constitution. Resolve
that they shall not be lost, while ia your
keeping ; and may bod Almighty strength

0t A writer in the Standard fearing that
the people will not send delegates to the Nash
ville Convention, proposes that the Conven
tion of either party to nominate a candidate
for Governor take the matter in hand, and
appoint delegates. The Fayetteville Caro
linian says the plan ought to be adopted, and
seconds a proportion to make the State pay
the travelling expenses of said delegates.
Now, with all due deference to the opin
ions of these wise democratic gentlemen, we
would suggest that the people ought to have
a toy in this matter ; and when they nomi
nate delegates to the State Conventions to
bring out candidates for Governor, let them
also, at the same time, grant those delegates
the power to appoint representatives to Nash
ville. If ihey fail to do this, we think the
Conventions will transcend their powers, if
they attempt to carry out the suggestions of
these gentlemen. Those Conventions are,
at present, comtemplated for the single pur
pose of bringing out candidates for Gover
nor. Nothing more. And without a clear
and distinct expression of the wishes of the
peop'e on the subject, any action they might
laite in relation to the INasnviile Convention,
especially as touching the appointment of
delegates to that body, would be regarded as
a most flagrant violation of trust Moreover,
the people should also be distinctly informed
as to the measures and remedy the Nash
ville Convention proposes to adopt and ap
ply. With a strict observance of all, their
rights in these Tespects, we shall offer no ob
jection to the procedure, though we should
still doubt the propriety of the measure un

THE UNION. ELOQUENT EXTRACT.
The following beautiful passage is from a 4ih
of July Oration delivered at Charleston in 1809, by
the late Hon. Thomas S. Grimke, then a very
young man:
" The American, who can look forward with
calmness to the day of seperatioo, must be either
more, or less than man. He must be the victim
of ambition or corruption; a deluged enthusiast,
or a prophet of good, which the most sanguine
dare not hope, and the keen-eyed statesman can
not foresee. Henceforth the American eagle shall
drop the olive branch of peace, and grasp only the
arrows of war. The hand which writes the dec
laration of disunion, shall feel the bkiod curdle
ia his veins ; and the tongue which reads it to the
world shall stiffen in the act. The mountains
divide us, shall be "the dark mountains of
death," and the streams that flow between, like
the waters of Egypt, shall be turned into blood.
Conceive tb eventful crisis arrived, when
the delegates of America meet to sever our confed
eracy. In vain may they call upon the
spirit of Washington to hallow their rites ; like
prophets at Endor, he shall look but to hlaot, aad
speak but to curse."

Seeator Fbote. in the tourse of his lemarkslast
Monday, upon his mtitba to raise a eomxnitfee of
thirteen to take inio-consideration die present eosH
diuon of -the slavery question, intimated, in terms
not to be misunderstood, that unless something
waedone by Saturday amrt to aeeemiBwdate the
matters in difference between-tbe North and the
South, there would be a dissolution of the Union.
Lest we misrepresent the Senator from Mississip
pi, we quote from the Union verbatim what he
said : . ,
"I do not expect and I am pure my friend
from South Carolinia, (Mr. Butler,) will hardly
expect that this subject will be acted on- by
the committee so soon as the next four days ; but
they could make a report by Saturday, 1 .trust ;
for, so help me Heaven, if nothing is done this
week, there will occur circumstances which, in
my opinion, must inevitably take place, the na
ture of. which I will not more than allude to,
which will render all compromise impracticable."
With all proper respect for the Senator from
Mississippi, we would remark, that it seems o
us that he should have given some speci&c indi
cation of what was to happen, to "render all com
promise impracticable," to. enable other Senators
to act as knowingly as he does. He gives uson
ly five days in which the Union is capable of pres
ervation, without informing the Senate or the
world what the contingency is which will admit
of no longer delay. Is this fair ? Is this candid 1
Should there be anv ravsterv respecting transac
tions which threaten so sudden a termination of
all hope of compromise? Should there be anv
hesitation in pointing out the precise obstruction,
quiexsand, or sawyer, which must be so soon a-
voided, or wreck the shin of State ? The honor
able Senator's colleagues cannot act as advisedly
as he does unless thev are equally informed with
himself. He alludes to something be canuot ex
plain He invokes an agency ail potent with him
self, but unseen of other meo. If he sees some
thing, should he not say what it is, that the pilot
ana the crew may know what penis environ
them ? He should not cry wolf, out should show
we Deast, that all might seek refuge in season
To such as regard the Union as a "fixed fact,"
something more is needed than dark allusions and
mysterious girings out, to convince themthat the
Confederacy is in tbe throes of dissolution. It
would be out of place . to jest upon this theme ;
and it is, therefore, in no jocose spirit we quote
an anecdote in this connexion, which might be a
sufficient answer to the Senator, in the absence of
all other symptoms of a dying condition of the
Confederacy than his obscure, not to say unsatis
factory, diagnosis of the case. There happened
an accident ol a serious nature to a vessel descen
ding from the Mississippi river filled with freight
and passengers. The officer in command came
rushing into the cabin exclaiming. Gentlemen;
save yourselves the boat will sink in five min
utes." "Captain," exclaimed a plethoric travel
ler m all sincerity and earnestness, " can't you
give us ten ?" So of Gen. Foote's intimation
that there are but fire days left in which the Union
may be saved, feuch as have no notion of the
precise nature of the peril before us a peril which
can onlv be ' alluded to" mar well ask tbe
Senator from Mississippi if he cannot lengthen
out the reprieve of the Union to ten days.

LORD BROUGHAM DURING THE DE
BATE ON THE ADDRESS.
Brougham certainly presented an apparition
calculated to astonish even so impassive a per
sonage as the proprietor of Apsley House. He
is thinner than ever, and each limb in his body
seems to be getting up a Sl Vitus' hornpipe on
its own private account Then th accident to
his eyes has caused him to cover his head with a
chctxd de frize of glazed green calico, that gives
his caput the appearance ol D?mg unmounted
with a casaue fit onlv for Qoixote in a panto
mime, the bald crown, and the iron hair, like the
tails of elderly drenched rats, completing a Hut
ensemble about the upper works, at once pictu
resque and unique. His under jaw appears to have
fallen down, and to project in front of the upper.
This may perhaps account for the change in his
voice, which is both more shrill and guttural, f nd,
for the first time, indistinct. He seems conscious
of this himself, and endeavoured to make up bv
screaming (alternated with whispers) for want of
even volume, inough his speech was compara
tively very short for him, and there was really no
thing iu it whatever, it cost him a great apparent
effort, physical and mental. The former exhibit
ed itself in extra wild violence of gesticulation,
perfectly aimless and out of place, and in travers
ing an unusual space to ana from and along the
whole length of the table. The other, in the ram
bling, incoherent, heterogeneous, and uuconse
qsntial bundle of assertions, invective, and deduc
tions he threw together, and which he very prop
erl followed up oy giving no vote. Hardly had
he sat down than he started up again, and com
menced holding half minute conversations with
different peers in different parts of the house, with
members of thCommons at the bar, with stran
gers in the galleries, and with nobody knows
whosn beside, for there was no telling where he
was for ten seconds together, and every time Stan
ley (who followed) turned to htm, he was either
in a different place, or nowhere at all, that he
could be seen. On one occasion, when he had
resumed his seat behind Stanley, and while that
noble lord was very earnestly addressing him point
blank, the voiaule Vaux, apparently all uncon
scious of what was going on, deliberately walked
across the house, thrust a paper under Lans
downe's nose, snatched it away as soon as the
Marquis attempted to get his glass to his eve, was
going to let Grey look at it, suddenly changed his
mind, whisked the document into his pocket, and
vanished behind the throne. As soon as this
scene, which occurred in less time than it takes to
read the description, was over, Carlisle sidled up
to Lansdowneon (be right, and Grey ditto on the
left; and tbe three grinned and shook their heads
in a style that Dr. Forbes Winsbw would regard
as very significant indeed, if he heard that Dyce
Sombre, or any other gentleman, with his head
screwed on the wrong way, was the subject of
their evidently quizzical commentary.
London Correspondent of Liverpool JUIrion.
From the Chambers (Ala.) Tribune, Feb. 20.
Yesterday, old winter seemed striving to
put on a mantle of snow that he might take
a graceful leave "for a season." Light flakes
descended through the morning, but the
moisture of the earth melted them almost as
soon as they fell. Still, in spots, there were
glistening patches ; window-sills and fences
were covered with veritable snow. The
robin, red-bird, and flitting snow-bird, as
sumed an unwonted familiarity pecked
close at the kitchen door, and looked wistful
ly within. Urchindom was agitated "in re
gard of traps and dead-falls; and loafing
rascals, of "elegant leisure," discussed the
question whether Tabbit tracks would lie yet'
Half-grown boys, with moistened nose-tips
and old flint-guns, hurried about, borrowing
the various articles necessary to make effi
cient a sportsman's paraphernalia.
Reader, art rising thirty, and has worn the
gloss from life- the "wise-edge" from enjoy
ment ? Does not tbe seldom falling snow
carry you back, to the "olden time" of your
heart's youth, and when felicity was found
in the dazzling banks and the whitened fields?
when the discovery of a rabbit track sent an
exquisite thrill to your very soul ? when you
thought, "if it would ahoavt keep tnowmg,
you vovla ahoayt be so ioppy f" Hark !
there is the croupy cry of a berry-choked
robin and hist ! there's the snapping of
a rusty old lock! Crack away, youngster,
ere the freshness of life, like the feathery
flakes, have dissolved into tears ! "Go it,
while youre young J"

the Constitution and the Union, I have taken an

At the dinner, the mayor, R. B. Semple, Esq.,
presided, assisted bv a number of vice presidents.
When Gen. Taylor was toasted, he said :
" Gentlemen ; I will not inflict a bad speech
on you, for if I make a speech at all, it must be a
bad one. I must say that as to the battles In
Mexico, as much oredit is due to my associates,
and more, than to me. It was suflicient honor
for me to lead such men into action. We are a
nation of soldiers, from Maine to Ttxas ; and I
will say that 00 both of those lines of our opera

duty, and they will do it again and again, so long
as Washington's name shall be remembered a

Subsequently, in reply to the toast compliment
ing the county of Orange, General Taylor rose and
said he could not permit the occasion to pass by
without making mention of the brave men who
went from this locality long since, and fought with
him against the Indians on our frontier. They
had now left us to join an army above, where he
trusted he should meet them again. The compli
ment to the county of Orange suggested a senti
ment which he begged to offer :
"The memory ol the late President Madison,
who acted such a conspicuous part in drafting our
Constitution and putting it in operation."

At Aquia Creek, leave was taken of the President
by Mr. Conway, in a neat speech, on behalf of
the Legislative Committee; .
" CENTRALISM."
The Editor of the Regitter notices some
opposition to the re-nomination of the present
Executive, in the belief that his first nomina
tion was brought about by the "Raleigh
Clique" as some call it.
The Regitter says: "Every gentleman
who was present at the Whig Convention of
1843, which nominated Gov. Manlt, will
bear us out in the statement, that no influ
ence from the Centre teas brought to bear upon
that result."
We were presentatthat Convention, and are
ready "to bear him out," so far as we can, in
the above declaration. We know that if the
Central politicians had been allowed to in
fluence the decision of that Convention, Gov.
Manly would not have been nominated.
We hope to see Mr. Manly supported
from the "Centre to the circumference" of
all whig responsibility. We cannot see the
policy of repudiating a faithful and able mem
ber of the party, without any cause whatev
er ; and we are sure that the party will more
generally unite on hro, than on any other
that can be named. Wil. ComirttciaL
CENTRALISM.
We copy from the Register an article on
"Centralism," which we commend to the
consideration of our readers. We have
looked with the most profound contempt up
on the effort of some of the members of both
political parties, to prejudice the citizens of
the State at large, against the inhabitants of
Raleigh, and denominating them as the. "Ra
leigh Clique." It is unfair and unjust, and
we hold all such persons in utter contempt

Death from Disappointment. The
Philadelphia Sun relates the following dis
tressing case: "' .'
"A day or two since, 'an 'accomplished
young lady of this city, who was admired by a
wide-spread circle of friends, died from the
rupture of a blood vessel, induced by circum
stances a 'most indescribably painful. It ap
pears thai a young gentleman (a widower)
had been paying his addresses to her for sev
eral months, ana finally the day was set a
part when the nuptial ceremony was to take
place. It appears, however, that the widow
er had promised his first wife on her death
bed, that he never would get married' again;
but when time had smoothed his feelings
consequent upon so painful an affliction as
her death, he forgot his vow, fell in love
with the young lady, and . went so far as to
agree upon a final engagement with her. On
reflection, the death of hit , wife and the sa
cred vow he made flashed on. his memory.
Acordingly, with feelings best known to him
self, he wrote a letter setting forth the facts,
and expressed bis determination not to com
ply with the engagement which be made
with the young lady in question. She re
ceived the missive, carefully perused it, read
it over and over again; .horror chilled her
frame; ahe suddnely became raving crazy ;
and after living a maniac for only three hours
after the receipt of the letter, abe burst a
main blood vessel, and fella corpse.''

, OB1TX. TAYLOR AlTD THE XTNIOW .
The Jollowing extract from GenT Tayior late
speech in, Richmond, couched in open and unre
served language, is. worthy of his elevated station,
and well calculated to allay-the anxiety, felt in
some quarters .with regard to the agitatKUX oT the
day: . (: . .
' " Reference has been made to the pledgerwhich
I gave before my . election, that in case my coun-
Smeo' should see fit to elevate me to the Chief
agistracy, I would be the President of tbe whole
people of the United States, and not the President
of a party. I here avow that I was sincere in my
expressions of unwillingness to' be made a candi
date for the office; for'whieh Ibelieved.as I said,
the experience and qualifications of one whose life
had been spent, as mine bad, almost exclusively
in the active duties of the field and the camp, were
unequal and insufficient. My countrymen, saw
fit to take me as I was, without any efforts of
mine tb induce them to do so ; and, though I have
been accused, in some quarters, with having vio
lated in my Administration the pledge to which
allusion bas been made. I here avow that I was
sincere in making it,'- and have been sincere, and
I think L may claim to have been successful, in my
ettorts to redeem ,it. in all respects. 1 snail con
tinue to act upon it in the discharge of my officio
duties ; and in its spirit, as well as in obedience to
my omcral oath, I shall, so tar as 1 have the pow
er, maintain the Constitution and the Union, un
der all circumstances, and to the last extremity.
The same plain and honest patriotism, which
has characterized all his public acts, is here man
ifested in a nobler aspect. The same devotion to
the country, which has so often shown itself on
the blood-stained field of battle, glows more brigh
ly in the hour of doubt, and. threatened politica
danger, and in a cause nearer the hearts of Ame
rican citizens than that which emblazoned on his
tory's page "in letters of bring light" the dear-
bought honors of Monterey and Buena Vista.
And, however much the great mass of the people
unswayed by ultra notions and un warped by bit
ter prejudices, may differ among themselves about
political measures, and the policy of the Whig or
Democratic parties, the sentiment of the foregoing
extract will meet with a cordial response from ev
ery sincere lover of the Union. " Genl Taylor
is a man of destiny" he never failed in anything
he attempted) and the public confidence reposed
in his firmness and patriotism, in this dark hour
of our country's history, is a tower of strength.-
He iriff preserve the Union and give to tbe
country the best administration since the days of
Washington.'
" Tis much he dares ;
And to that dauntless temper of his mind,
He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valor
To act in safety."
New Books-
Mr. Turner, of the N. C. Bookstore, has laid a
variety of new and interesting works upon our ta
ble. Among tbe number we find a valuable aeries
of School Books :
"How's Fbactical KLOcenowraT' contain
ing a select collection of examples for elocutionary
practice, suited for advanced students. Also A
Treatise on scientific Agriculture, and a History
and description of the Domestic animals.
" Auricular Coufkssiow in the P. E. Church,
considered in a series of letters addressed to a
iriend in North Carolina ; by a Protestant Epis
copalian." Four queries are propounded to the
Author (Understood to be the Rev. Dr. Hawkxs,
of New York) by a friend in this Slate, viz . 1.
What is the doctrine of confession and absolution
as held by the Church of Rome? and its legiti
mate consequences ? 2. What is, the doctrine as
held by the Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States t 3. How near an approximation
to the. Romish doctrine has been madejn modem
teaching in North, Carolina? 4. How far can
certain claims of Episcopal authority and prero
gative be austained under the constitution and
canons of our own branch of the church V
In answer to the question, What is tbe doc
trine as held by the Protestant Episcopal Church
in the United States," this is the sum of his con
clusions, ' That ordinarily, confession ' is to be
made generally in public worship. 'That'll maw
w ujuw; jsruxHcty 10 eimer priesi or layman, in
accordance with the early ( usage of the Church,
for relief of- a troubled conscience, or counselor
ioatruction ; and that in , all auch cases it is d one
vohmtmibj, and a party aiaa not, who declines to
make it. That the priest is no judge, but miais-
tenally declares God's absolution of . the penitent
It is an authoritative assurance of the pardon of
ooa te all who have truly complied with Ood's
conditions of pardon. '
With reference to the third query, the writer
quotes quite extensively1; in parallel colums, from
the teachings of thfe Roman Church, the teach
ings of the Protestant Church, and the teachings
of the Bishop of North Carolina in his Pastoral
Letter on the Priestly .Office, his Sermon on Self
Examinatipn, his Pastoral Letter on the Salisbury
Convention, and bis Sermons on Obedience the
way to Knowledge-, and the Obedience of Faitl
declaring a. much Aearer general concurrence in
doctrine, between- the Bishop and the -ftotnaa
Church; than between him' and: the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the United States,

ative, tbe writer difteta almost ta lota from the

. Another Compromise.
Mr. Beix, of Tennessee, has introduced
ries of compromise resolutions, in th s '
which lie over for consideration. These rt"'
tions contemplate the formation of two addw!!
slave States outof that portion of Texas !W JS
of 3630 nmm!a&rffiuiri
as the consent of Texas aM be obtained aod
other at a future period. They also propo. h J
mil California Into the Un ion at once, and to
vide territorial governments for other territories
As the main objection to the admission of &k
foruia is, that it would give tbe free Suta iBI
jority in the Senate of the Uaited State, it WoolJ
be as well, if it can be done, to provide for 4.
speedy admission of another slave State to be cat.
ved out of Texas. The North should not objw
to this ; and it might, possibly, remove all
difficulties.
In introducing these resolutions, Mr. Bell Mid.
rulSe CUW .DOtgre? Wi.'h 5me of h wathJ
friends in contending for the Missouri line Th
Jine if iteould be adopted, would prove of no
efit to the South, for slavery could not becarriJ

so proposed that all the territory not included h
The State of Californ ia, and West of New Mexico
should be placed under one territorial govemDiuL
The next resolution proposed fhe im medial rf.
mission or California with her present boundary.
He knew she was a large State, but he wished Out
she bad included in her boundaries the whole tiL
ley of the Salt Lake. It was' said that she ww
large enough to make several States ; admit this,
but did any one at this time desire to have mow
than one State admitted?
The constitution of California, on one point
was not entirely acceptable to bim or tbe South -but
he could not disregard what he considered the
almost unanimous voice of the people there. Tin
President had been charged with improper interfe
ence in the aflair. He saw nothing to justify the
charge. The President's' policy, in his nund.wa
the most just and patriotic.
He stated that ha course had never been vWeit
or extreme. He reposed eutire confidence in tha
justice of the North. He had never countenance
ihe southern convention. He had no agency
its organization. If any good resulted from it, U
could claim no merit for supporting or bringing it
about. Ifevil should follow from it, none of tbe
conseqoenees could be chargeable on him. ' Ht
bad a firm and abiding confidence in the honesty,
patriotism and generosity of northern gentiemes,
and he would continue to hold that confidenct,
and beleived thai the North, holding the majority,
would not exercise their power stringently orir
bitrarily." r " 1
Oen. a jns ton.
In a recent speech in the Senate, Gen. Hofitoi
stated that the odor of Nullification was so strung
in South Carolina, that it was not deemed prudent
to originate and start in that State the project for a
Southern Convention at Nashville, and so the ball
was sent to Mississippi to be' first put in motios
in that quarter. We have no doubt or the cor
rectness of this opinion. South Carolina by
continued outcry on all and every occasion, aad
by her ultra opinions and .proceedings, hat
weakened or destroyed her influence with her lis
ter States, that it is sufficient to destroy (he effi
ciency and success of any general measure to hm
it originate with her. Let the other States of the
South take warning and act with more pruder,
discretion and judgment.'- ''
