Then the spirit, peering with intense earnestness into the dark unknown; may in vain question eartn ol tne destiny ot the soul beyond the grave, and lift to heaven the passionate invo cation . "Answer tne, horning stars of night, - Where hath the spirit gone. Which passed the reach of mortal sight. E'en as a breeze hath flown 1 'And the stars answer him, We roll In pomp and power on high, But of the never-dying soul Ask things that cannot die!" Th ings that cannot die !" God only can tell us of the spirit world. He assures us, by his Son, that death is the child of sin. He tells what is the power of this king of terrors. He .how. u. "that in Adam all die." He declare, to us that, sinful by nature and by practice, we are condemned to death ; that we are unfit for heaven ; that we are con signed to wo; that the destiny of the soul which remains thus condemned and un changed is far drearier and more dreadful be yond, than this side, the grave. No wonder that men shrink from the thought of death, for all hit messages are woful and appalling! But thank, be to God I though death be here, so also i. death. Lord and Master. "Ai in Adam -all die, even so in Christ .hall they be made alive." That Saviout,Christ, a. turet us that all who repent and forsake their sins, who believe in him and live to him, shall rise to a life glorious and eternal with him nd his in heaven. He tells u. that if we are his, those sharp shafts which death rattles W oux ear to-day .hali but transfix, and but for a season, the garment of our mortality ; and.tha lhe emancipated spirit, of the right--u shall be borne, on anget wing., to that peaceful Paradise where they ' .hall enjoy perpetual rest and felicity. Then it need not be a voice of gloom which announce, to ui to-day, "Ye shall die as men, and fall as one of the truces," for it tell, u that the hum hlest of men may be made equal to the an gels, and that earth', prince, may become "kings and priests unto God." In the presence of these simplest yet grandest truths ; .with these thoughts of death and the conqueror of death; and, above all, " JLu t1" ,Plendid trophy of his power, proud ly held up to our view by death to-day, I need utter to you no common-place on the vanity of life, the inevitableness of death, nd the tolemnitiesof our after-being.

Old Whitey, alia Billy, i. now eighteen year, old, and occupies the stable east of the White house. He has served in Florida and in Mexico, nd has borne the old General in many a battle-field, and now shoeless, is reaping the rewards which he so richly de serves. He bears two ball wounds, one up on the neck, and the other upon the right hip. Hundreds weekly visit the old war horse, and feel the prints of the balls. Gen. Taylor has only ridden him once since he arrived io Washington, but his af fection for his well tried and faithful steed, i. exhibited by his tri weekly visits to " Bil ly's stable." " Come Billy," says the Gen eral, and in a moment ' Old Whitey' obeys the well-known voice, and is fondling his head 'about his master's shoulder. like a pet dog.

A Fiaa ih the Rear The Washington Union quote, with many expression, of pi ou. horror, the following strong declaration made by the Boston Post, the leading de mocratic journal of New England : "If there be a man in the country who should be tolerant towards those who have used unjust language respecting Andrew Jackson, it is the senior editor of the Wash ington Union newspaper." M atm MomAL Speculation. Some years ago, when the world was made upon lotter ies, the cook of a middle aged gentleman drew from his hands the savings of tome yean. Her master, curious to know the cause, learned that she had repeatedly dream ed that a certain number was a great prize. and had bought it He called her a fool for her pains, and never omitted an occasion to tease ner on the subject One day, howev er, the master saw in a newspaper that that number was actually a prite of 20,000.

They were married the next morning, and as the carriage took them from the church the following dialogue ensued : "Well. Molly, two happ events in one day. You have married, f trust a good husband ; you have something else. But first let me ask you where your lottery tick et is?"

These vessels, however, making no calcu lations on return careoes, will estimate the entire profits on the voyage on their outward frieghls, and become on their arrival, willing carriers for a comparatively small considera tion. This tendency in the course ol trade, it WQuldseemjnustmakeSanFransiscoa ware all the ports of the Pacific, American, Asiat ic, and the Islands. Almost every article now exported by them finds a ready market in California, and the establishment of a mint will bring there also the silver bullion, amounting to more than ten millions per annum, from the west coast of Mexico, and perhaps, ultimately from Chili and Peru, to be assayed and coin ed. Vessels bound round Cape Horn, with car goes Yor markets on the American coast of the Pacific, can by taking advantage of the southeast trade wi ds, and " standing broad off the Cape," make the voyage to San Fran sisco in as short a time a. they can to Valpa raiso or any port south of California. Ves sels have sailed from our Atlantic ports to San Fransisco in less than one hundred days, and they have been, in more than one in stance, over one hundred and twenty day. in going from Panama to San Fransisco. This astonishing differ nee, in time and distance, was caused by the course of the winds, and the " gulf stream" of the Pacific, mentioned in my remarks on the climate ol California. The vessels from our Atlantic ports took advantage of the winds by steering from the Vape as tax into the Pacific as to be enabled to take a course west of the gulf-stream in sailing northward, thus availing themselves, first of the southeast then of the northeast "trades" and avoiding opposing currents. The vessels from Panama were kept back by the calms, adverse winds, and currents. It will be perceived, therefore,. that there can be no inducement for vessels bound round Cape Horn, with mixed or assorted cargoes, to stop at Valparaiso, Callao, Guayaquil, or any other port on the west coast, because the exports of all those places will seek a mar ket at ban t ransisco ; and their supply of merchandise, as return freight, will be deliv ered at less expense than it can be by ves sels direct from Atlantic ports, American or European. This tendency of trade to con centrate at San Fransisco will be aided by the course of exchange. Gold dust is worth but $17 per ounce in Chili. It is worth $18 in the United States mint If, therefore, a merchant of Valparai so has ten thousand ounces in San Fransisco received in payment forlu . ber, barley, flour, or outer produce, and desires an invoice of gooos irom tne United States or Europe, he wiU gain $10,000 at the , outset by sending his gold to New York, besides saving some thin on the freight of insurance, and at least one month's interest DAVIDSON. We understand that a Railroad meeting was held in Lexington last Tuesdar, which was addressed by Messrs. Leach, H.C. Jooe., Morehead, Thomas and Gilmer. We leani that the people manifested interest and anx iety on the subject, and that the failure of some to pay their five per cent seemed to call out others to supply their places. Da vidson is certainly determined to come up and do her duty in this great work, and wipe away all cause for reflection against her At an irresisUble evidence of this, we hear that a ubcnption of about seven thousand dollar, was obtained on Tuesday, and the five per cent paid in-Greeiu.

W ho is there that will not be courageous if he finds himself in an exigency in which ihe safety of his country may depend upon his exertions. And so, as a servant not new to the council of his country, 1 felt on a recent occasion that the exigency deman . . a t u- .1 ded something which might incur risk ol censure something which might bring opprobrium. Man, sir. has a natural File and a political life th one to be terminated bv those natural events i nd circumstances which occur to all, the other to t-nd either with the natural life, or to be termin ated by those political events which the changes of time and of things are ever producing. But the one and the other are to be held valuable only while they are of use to be enjoyed only while he who enjoys them feels that he is doing some thing useful in his day dnd' generation. When a public man draws hisiiJa in that capacity to a close, if he has performed his duty to his country and has been faithful tu the trust reposed in him, he has that consolation which no opprobrium and no censure can take from him. But whether he ends his life as a natural or as a political man, he can never come to his final end too soon if he falls in defence of the honor and the constitution of his country. Mr. f resident When ihe Koman Kepubhc. in its palmiest period, was threatened with civil war ; when arms were introduced into the Sen ate, by persons who bad designs upon the freedom and the stability of the Republic, the great orator and great man of antiquity in addressing the Sen ate in defence of his measures, supposes the gen ius of his country lo be apostrophizing Marcus Tullius Cicero " What do you do you see dan gers encircling the Republic ; you see the pros pect of a civil war devastating Italy; and what do you do ? Are you afraid of the reproaches of posterity? But il censure be that whereof you are afraid, think which is most to be apprehended the censure incurred for acting with firmness and courage, or that for having acted with sloth and Ipusillanimitv. When Italy shall he laid de on fire, can youthen hope to escape the flames of public indignation ?" This great Union, Mr. President, must last through our generation and through our genera tions yet to come. v hatever clouds may now overcast the political horizon, I shall livein the hope and die in lhe hope that such a glorious U mon as this will never perish. The necessity of the case is ail on our side. We are now united, and 1 can see no possible process by which we can become disunited. In all Governments grie vances are to be borne, and where a Government is extended over so great and extensive a country as the United States, differences of opinion will exist. Our destiny u Union, and we must bring our minds to this factor reconcile ourselves to the probability of eveni. which none now could fore see. It was barely possible -no, it was not pos sible, that the good State of Maryland should go back to what she was in 1774 ; and you might as soon tear asunder the granite hills of New Eng land as lo sever her from that confederacy of Slates to which she is bound br so mam iIm Our fathers, who had achieved the independence. oi me country anu estw.ed the constitution of these United Stales,. had deprived us of a rich in heritance otglorrv bul what they bad left to us waa the defence and Ihe preservation of what ihey had established. It was ours lo show our estimate of this liberty and this Constitution, by defending it with all our energies, and, if necessary, to the last drop of our blood. If we shall continue to go on to defend what they left us, then we may look to their memory, not as recreant, but as true sons of ihe glory and greatness of our fathers. Jo political mailers, when a man rises iu Con gress io make a speech be is said to define his po siiioo and may we not, Mr. President, define the position of our country? The past bat been all love and fraternal concord, but who shall define the future ? Shall the States rush Trom their sev eral spheres and throw all into a state of political anarchy and confusion surrendering their polit ical gravitational shall every State set forth on an independent voyage of exploration, involving all in one common ruin. Sir, we are bound to have one common centre. The laws of political neces sity forbid that it should be otherwise. The wa ters ot the Susquehanna and of the Potomac riv ers flow into the Chesapeake Bay, and by the general law of nature there unite. The State, also by a law of political necessity lead directly to a union, and the attempt might as well be made to dnre back the waters of the Susquehanna to the mouatains of Pennsylvania and the waters or the Potomac to the AUegbames as to prevent that union. Mr. Wcktii concluded hit remarks by ex pressing the pleasure which he felt in being pre sent at the celebration of the Society, and wished the members all success in the rational, intelligent and ennobling historical research in which they were engaged. He proposed the following senti ment : Liierty and the Crow Ms y their united influ ence pervade and regenerate the world. The remarks of Mr. Wemtek, (of which we pretend to give but a mere sketch,) occupied about half an hour in their delivery and were re ceived with the greatest enthusiasm, being fre quently interrupted by warm and prolonged cheers. A toast, offered by Johr H. Lateobe, Esq., was then drunky complimenial to the Hon. Sir Han at B trtyiy sx, the English Minister. Mr. B. responded as fallows : That in rising after, the Senator from Massa chusetts, he was reminded of a gentleman who beine called upon to speak after the great Mr Burke, said that the only way to satisfy his au dience and acquit himself handsomely of his task was by exclaiming, - Gentlemen, I beg to say ditto to the illustrious orator who has just sat down."

Blake and Marlborough, all these, and others almost equally worthy of mention, though he should not then enumerate them, were in their fame and name as much the inheritance of all there present, as his own ; were as dear and familiar to everv American heart, as to the heart of every Englishman on the other side of the Atlantic. But whilst he dwelt on those in whom the his tory of the past gave Englishmen and Americans a co-partnership, and was prowd of them, he was proud also to see that as shoots ot the old tree were transplanted they grew up in the original form, and brought forth fruit of the original char acter; and for this reason he did homage to men worthy of the ancient race of England, and whom future history, nevertheless, would claim as alto gether American. Where indeed could he 6nd in old England a Senator and orator more clear and concise in his logic, more copious and noble in his illustrations, more extensive and profound in his acquirements, than the Senator and orator from New England; the? great Ulysses of De bate, the wise, the variously accomplished, the almost incomparable Daniel Webster? And where, amidst the statesman of his own country, for whom be felt patriotically partial, where could he point to a statesman more gallant in his bear ing, more chivalrous and heart-stirring in his elo quence, more mild and moderate in his counsel, than he who united the experience of Nestor with the spirit of Achilles, the knight and sage of Ken tucky ; his able, amiable, and universally belov ed friend, Henry Clay, whose absence was the only drawback to the pleasures or that entertain ment ? And if such were American Orators and States men. such also were American historians and warriors. He had, for his part, never had an adequate idea of the achievements of those great mto the New Wdrlorliiilfrfi Cortes in the page ofPrescott ; and yet, just at the Hme wnen it appeared to him that the heroes drawn by that great artist were matchless, if not fabul ous, there stepped forth heroes from that artist's own land who on the very country which he had taken as the subject of his immortal w. rk, equal led or surpassed by their exploits, those wi.os marvellous deeds he had been describing. A gentleman had spoken of Agin-court. The name had suggested to him, (Sir H. Bulwer.) a singu lar coincidence applicable to the topic he wa then ppeaking upon. The battle of Aginconrt was fought on the 25lh of October on the plains of Pic ardy in France. There were on that occasion ;he English forces, few in numbers, fatigued by mar ching, enfeebled by sickness, and surrounded by a great and gallant army, so confident in victory that its chief, previous to giving the signal for the onsei, sent a neraid lo the English leader to bar- gaiu been iu ior nis ransom. 1 hat leader's answer had n thus given ' un. ,.it . i .

On Tuesday of Randolph Superior Court " . a a a I 1 y j g mee(mg WM held in Ashborou jh, expression of public F t ' sciiu.ucuv uu UuS " f itatins both branches of our National Legis- After a few brief preliminary remarks by HENJir g Elliot, Eq., the meeting was organized by calling John B. Trot, Esq., to the chair.'and appointing Isaac H. Foust secretary. It having been announced that John Kerr, Esq., of Caswell, was in tne place, a very unanimous call was made to the effect that he be invited to attend the meeting, and, if . . ... 0 convenient, to address it. A messenger was , despatched to wait on Mr. Kerr, and inform him of the wish of the meeting, who soon returned .with Mr. Kerr, and Mr. Walker, of Guilford. Mr. Kerr addressed the .meeting in a most able and impressing manner for nearly two hours. His remarks on the im- portance of the preservation Qf the Union of the States were eloquent, patriotic, impres- sive and perfectly satisfactory to all parties Mr. Kerr s speech will long be remember ed the citizens of Randolph. Mr. Walker also addressed the meeting in a verv happy manner for a short time. After which the following preamble and resolutions were introduced by Reuben H Brown, Esq , and unanimously adopted : Whereas, We have witnessed with deep so- Jxitude the agitation of the Slavery question in both branches ol our INational Legislature, and believing it to be the duty of all true patriots to maintain the rights of their respective States, to remove all difficulties from a just and honorable .adjustment of the great question that now divides the ISorih and the bouth, and to preserve in its primitive purity that Union which seems now to be so seriously threatened : Therefore Resolved, That we entertain an abiding attach ment to the permane nt union ot these States, and view any measure that tends to array sectional prejudices and alienate friendly feelings as emi nently calculated to do incalculable mischief, and therefore worthy of our hearty condemnation. 'Resolved, That all territories acquired by the National Government by purchase, or otherwise, are the common property of all the States, and that any legislation on the part of Congress tend ing to deprive the people of any State or States of their rightful occupation and enjoyment of such territory would be contrary to the spirit of tbe con- will not submit. Resolved, That we view the Southern Conven tion proposed to be held at Nashville, in June next, as an unnecessary and imprudent measure, calculated to mislead the unwary, and uncalled for by the emergency of the present crisis. Resolced, That we believe nine-tenths of the people ot this Union to be unalterably in favor of perpetual union, aud that we frown indignantly on any and all attempts at alienation, secession or any kindred step, so long as the memory of Wash ington remains and our liberties can be enjoyed. ResAoed, That the Secretory of this meeting be requested to have a few copies of the foregoing resolutions printed and send one to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and that they be sent to the Editors of the Greensbo rough Patriot, with the "request that they publish ttietn.
