'fairest-land uvon which the sun ever shone,

cursed any clime. On one of these occa
sions.the influence of Clayism was felt even
in tharSouth Carolina which abominates the
' man andJiis prihcipl-ts. I mtde itself mart-

But there is no part of the country where
its influence has not been felt alike in wr

were a Isingohirly deficient in the powersof con- '
versation. Mannoutet, the novelist, was so du 1
in society, that
hu fnend said otbtm alter an in
terview, I must fco and read tots Tales, to recom
pense myself for the weariness of hearing him."
As to CorneAIe, the greatest dramatist of
Fiance, he was completely Tost in society so ab
sent and embarrassed, .that he wrote of to'mseir a
witiy coup et, importing lhat he was never intel
ligl bt through ihe mouth of another. ' Wit
on paper seems to be oomettfm widely difftrent
from that play of worils in conversation whkh
while it sparkles, dies for Cltaries IU the wittiest
monarch lhat ever sat on ihe English throne, was
so charmed with) the humor of Hudibras, Jhat he
caused himself to be introduced in the character
of at private gentleman, to Butler its author. ' The
witty King found the author a very dull compan
ion ; and was of opinion, with many others, that
so stupid a fellow could never have written so
clever a book. . Addison, whose classic elegance
of sly V bas lung been considered he best model
for yooog writers, was shy and absent in society
preserviag, even before a single stranger, stiff,
and dignified silence. He was accustomed to say
lhat there could be no real conversation but be
tween two persons, friends, and that it was then
thinking loud. Steele, Swift, Pope and Congreve
men possessing literary and conversational pow
ers oi the highest order, allowed him io have been
a delightful companion among intimates, and
Yoopg writes of hhu that ' he was rather mute
in society on some occasions but when he began
to be'eompany he was full of vivacity, and went
" : A. ' - l
on in . nooie simiD o. mougui .no .angw-ge 3o
as to chAto the atiealroa of every one to him."
Goldsmith, on (he contrary, as described by his
c temporary writers, appeared in company to have
no sparkle of that genius which shone forth , so
brightly in his woiks. His address was awk
ward, his manner uncouth, his language unpol
ished ; he hesitated in speaking, and was a ways
unhappy if the conversation did not turn upon
himselt. Dr. Johnson spote of him as an inspir
ed idiot ; yet ihe great essayist, though de ivenng
orac es to those around him in pompons phrases
whjch have been happily described as spoken in
the Johnsonese tongue, was not entit ed to ne cal
led a good con rerser.
Nearer to our own time, we have had many
authors whose faculty 'old twice. Sheridan aod
Theodore Hook were fellows of infinite jest; they
could "set a table in a roar, and nil pages with
pathos and wit of such a quality, tha it makes
their survivors t biok,wwe cou d hare spared better
men" Bums was famous for bis colloquial pow
ers, snd Gall n reported to have been as skilful as
the story tellers oi the Uast in fixing the attention
of bis aoditors on his prolonged narrations. Cole
ridge was in the nab t of pouring forth brilliant
unbroken monologues of two or three hours dura
tion, to listeners so enchanted that, like Adam,
whose ears were filled wi:h ihe eloquence of an
archangel, they forgot
all nlarw all tMik.iii anil
their change;" but this was noi contention, and

queof with hopes of equal success.
Washington Irving, in the accouut he has given
of his visit io Abbo sford, says of Sir Walter Scott,
that his conversation was frank, hearty ,Jici u-
reique and dramatic. He never talked forTeffect
or display, but from ihe flow of bis. spirits, the
stores of bis memory, and the vigour of his ima
gination. He was as good a listener aa a talker:
appreciated everything that others said, however
humble might be their rank ana prevrrsjoa, and
was quick to testify bis perception of any point in
their discourse. No one's concerns, no one's
thoughts and opinions, no one's tastes and plea
sures, seemed beneath him. He made himself
so thorughly the companion of those with whom
he happened to be that they forgot for a lime, his
vast superiority, and only reco lected and wonder
ed, when all was over, that it was Scott wi h
whom they bad .been on such familiar terms, in
whose society they had felt so perfectly at ease.

NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOOK.
In conversation with C. H. Wiley Esr.,
of this county, some days ago, we learnestbat
he bad nearly completed the preparation of a
Reading Book particularly adapted ard inten
ded for the Common Schools of North, Car
olina. A considerable portion of tbe book is
devoted to the history of North Carolina,
written in a style which it is hopr-d will en
gage the attention oi our youth, fix the
great events of our annafs upon their memory
and cause a pride in their native State, (which
their fathers have not cherished as they -ought)
to grow with their growth and strengthen with
their strength. This is anew.-and certainly a
commendable feature in a school book' forthis
country, ai4 will render the work peculiarly
proper to be placed in tbe hands of pupils at
a certain stage of advsncement." We have
been under the necessity of sending to the
North for school books, as well ms every
thing else lon enongh, and therefore trost
that Mr. Wileysarrangenenls for puWica-
tion mar partially relieve us from inch
necessity. There are many considerations
why a school boy prepared in tbe South will
suit ui better. Grtentboro1 Pat.
(Paragraph for a Ladies' Page)
Tbe: SsratbVBilKG MiifciEij Our
old friend, Lord Campbell, says that, in Scot
land, a man can scarcely tell whether he is
married or not. How different is the case in
this happier part of the kingdom ! Here, eve
ry tnoment of a husband's domestic life is a
sensible assurance of the fact, that he is blest
with a wife. When he comes down in the
rooming- if be can possibly have forgotten
that fact he finds bis newspaper aired for
bins, bis egg and toast ready, bis tea made,
and bis kettle simmering on the fire. All
these preparations for his comfort have been
made by her. And there she sits, ready
either to divert him with pleasant observa
tions, or, it he is inclined to read, to busy
herself with the arrangements of tbe table,
and not only to remain silent herself, but alio
to keep tbe children, if there are any, from
disturbing him too.
Should he have committed a slight impru
dence overnight, and have a headache in
consequence, she condoles with him, and
administers his soda-water. When he ises
to go oat, his boot-hooks are at hand, so are
his booUi probably warmed; when he returns,
the best dinner tne house can' afford awaits
him. If he expresses a wish, he' finds that it
has bean anticipated; if he makes remark,
k it assented to. The stockings he putt on
bare beta darned or marked by her; eVerjr

on the buttons.' Ter, well does Jhejnltshr

MANTEO PAPER MILLS BURNT!
It is our painfol duty to record the entire de
struction by Fire, of the above named extensive
Establishment, on Saturday night last. TheFffe
was the result of accident originating in the'Wg
loft, we understand, from the friction of some pop
tion of the machinery employed in that depart,
merit.
These Mills have been in thorough operation
but a short time, and were daily turning off, up to
the time of their destrnction, as fine an article of
Paper, of every variety, aa any soanufactured in
the country. The enterprising proprietors had fit
ted up the entire Manufactory with the most mod-
improved macmnerv.at a fieavyouUay of

uioner, un uie iuss w uinu, oi coume, inaepen
dent of the loss of time, &c, will be very severe.
There hnd been Insurance effected to the amount
of $5,000 only
We regard the destruction of thin establish
ment as not only an individual, but a public loss.
It was one of t!ios enterprises which are so well
calculated to foster in our midst the spirit of ac
tivity, of trade, of independence. The efficiency
and promptness with which it was conducted, the
business-reputation of its managers, and the supe
riority of it's manufacture, Lid fair to aeeare for it
an extended reputation, and te make it a good
investment. ."
We have no doutx that the proprietors, unap-
palled by their severe and sudden lose, will
itn
mediately set to work to rebuild the Mini We
hope that thev may ; and that the Press in North
Carolina, and States to the Sooth of us, will show,
by their patronage, that they deplore the loss
which has occurred and appreciate the determined
spirit of enterprise and go-ahead-itirrnett which it
will require to set the work again In operation.

We learn frotn tbf rk prepared for the Bal
timore Patriot, Chat, after the removal of the cloth,
tbe first toast was, The President of the United
States," which was received with much cheering.
Goy Sprigg ,tlwu joae to propose the name of
their honored gueat, taking Occasion to remark
upon the important aerviees Mr.' Welstet had
rendered the country In the different stations be
had been called upon to fill, and saving that he
was eminently entitled to all tbe honors in the
power of the country to confer. He concluded
by proposing;
" Daktel WEBsTEn : Maryland shews her at
tachment to the Union by honoring its ablest de
fender.
This toast was received with loud and prolong
ed applause. Afrer, the cpeenng had subsided
Mr. Webster rose and said, that he appreciated
from his heart the honor which had been confer
red upon htm by the representatives of ihe pe pie
of Maryland one of that glorious constel alien of
States which bad stood up together in the times
" ihat tried men s souls" to achieve the indepen
dence of 'which we are nbwTectprehrs, arid wlych,
he ratwl, we should long eo'ntrrrue to enjoy:
Mr. W. referred toihe ear y history of the coun
try, au4 ssid iai we could ,uot loo fuily. appreci
ate the blessings handed.down ia us by our fere
lathers. Washing on, with a'l his sagacity and
all his wisdom, fid noi eenceive tlat lie destiny
of the Uoited Slates bad beea reached; nor did he,
when he retired frcni the'5reS"len ' chair, cease
to fix his eye upon ihemterests of his country.
Washington, in his Farewell Address,' said lie
retired from the Presidential chair1, having per
formed the work which lie had been ca Bed jjpon
to fulfil. But, said M r. W.. emphatically , he has
never vet performed the work assigned l him,
nor will be untihbe end of time. He will walk
ever in that sacred work, unless his name is ob
literated from the records of time.
1 think (said Mr. W.) I hear him say, in the
words of his Farewell address, "Be happy resist
wi h care the spirit ofionovm ion upon the prio
ciples of government, however specious the pre
ten; attend to every admonition which woa d
enjoin a strict adherence to the principles upon
which thai government is founded." W e slioulJ
hear him say now, if it were permitted him to
appear before this people as he appeared to the
country in its most trying rime as he appeared
at Ihe head of his army when" leading them to
battle against the enemies of freedom, fie would
say to all Americans and lovers of their couutry
and its institutions, "Ho d on, by every means, to
that country which cost me and my compatriots
seven years of toil and struggle.0 Great cheer
ing 1
Alter dwelling at some length upon the charac
ter and services of Washington, Mr. Websiersaid
he hoped lie would be pardoned for interrupting
the i hread of hi discourse at this moreen i, by pro
posing, from the fullness of his heart, the follow
ing toast r
"The Gloeiots ajtd Immortal Memokt of
Georgc Washihgtoh." This was drunk stand
ing and in silsoce.J .
Mr. WiBSTin resumed: In tbe lapse of years,
said he, it may very possibly happen that the
great principles of Union mar not be always un
derstood alike ; and it would not, therefore, be
amiss to refer ta the objects for which ihe Co'p
nies were united, the limitations assigned ihem,
and the principles whieh should govern for iheir
perpeuiation. ,
. Mr. W. then entered at considerable leng h in
to a review of the general princip es which Lad
brought the Colonies io throw ff ibe y. ke of al
legiance to.Great Br tain.nnd dweh up d the va
rious causes which led ihem to confederate togeih
erv He said they were governed by - a spirit of
liberality and justice, which actuated both 'North
and South, and ibe good faith' with which both
parties entered into .the compact ot confederation
was ihe grearcaUse which led Io the securing of
that independence which we now enjoy. At
that period, he said, tbe North and South were
as now, governed by different systems ; but each
section was wi ling that ihe other should not bare
ijieir pecu lar rights and privileges interfered
with, but thai tney should lie governed in, such
manner as would best enhance and protect ibe
jn 'treats of all The North, at that time, was per
fectly aware of the existence of slavery in -the
South, and although there might be Some who
deprecated lhat state of things, yet they, were per
fectly willing to accept the South as. a sister,-and
to take her to their embrace. The ob igatton to
keep that compac is as great now as then aod
it should, snd he had no doubt would, be strict
ly adhered to. 'j
Mr. W. then spoke or the adopiioa of the cons
prphuse measures, and said he looked upon lbem
an'the great saving point, as the great chccV "pp
on the agi ators who would he glad to dissever
thevUnipn.. ) Any Stale, (said Jle,; snpbtirieally,)
N6rth or South, which departs in the least Tola
from the spirit of these measures, is disbyil.
Great cheeriag.J We have seen at the . North
(said Mr. W.) some excitement on the great and
agitating questions of the dayjwe have seen" aT
so at the South something of the same excitement
and secession from the Union was ' threatened : by
some ns a remedy f.r their Imaginary 'eti s.
Whai (said he) Will they "secede from? Where
wil they secede to? He thought that they who
talked ol secession had great "fatality of mind ;
lhat their minds were entirely diseased , and, in
the language of Holy Writ, "they know not what
they do." Much applause. (" , ;
While (said Mr. W.j we maintain inviolate
the adjustment measures of the last Congress
while we hold no parley, with those who seek o
break down the bulwarks with Which they are
surrounded; and while we faithhiiJy carry out
.the principles of those measures; there is -no fear
of the Union., Greati cheering.') He held i ihe
strict carrying out of ihose measures to be of the
highest intportaaes, and that every ener?v of eve
ry true citizen should be Dentin order to secure

MRt RAYNER'S SPEECH CONSTTTUr
... . TIQNAL REFORM, , ' ;1 . '
-4Jq-.ta day's paper will be found a ; portion, of A
the '.very able speech of the Hon. Kenneth Kay
ner.etivered in the Hooae of Commons, on
Ute subject' of amending the Constitution of this
State.' We will cowSwWt " our next num
ber. The argument against amendmenlsWthat
instrumerrt by Legislative enactment, except in the
cases specified by Mr. R appears to us to be sound
and conclusive. We agree in the main with the
positions takerf fn this srAeech, SirCf jjrrty regret
that 'Mr. R. has not gone so faros to giyj8 the aid
of his powerfnl intellect to carry put a ptposiUon,
fbf in lihrestricted Convention, Which Worjld sejt
tie pertrianently the agitation of these destione
of Cftnstitulional Reform, and break 'down the
'hobby system," so popular with our Democratic
friends We make due allowance for the position
that Mr. Rayher occupies as an Eastern man . and
the representative of ,an Eastern cdnstitueiicy,
alio are inclined to believe .that, byia'CoBveB
tion, the political power in the State would be
transferred to the West; but, notwithstanding
this, we could not help indulging a hope that be,
and other leading men of the East, would see the
necessity for coins fully into this matter, and giv.
ing to ihe people themselves an opportunity of
introducing into the t.onstrtntien such amend
ments as they desire. The ball has been set ia
motion without the concurrence, and against the
wishes, we believe, of a krgo portion of the peo
pie of the JStitte : they Were satisfied , with the
CocrfUitutioa as it is. Rut one aspiranf brought
forward an amendment extending the right ef suf
frage, and a triumph was achieved for himself and
hie party by it. With this enrourageferent, Others
with like aspirations, will, one after another, bring
forward their propositions for 'amendment, and
who can say when the agitation of these Questions
witf teasel' It is not to be Pondered at,' then,
that the people "should be aroused to the impor
tance of taking" this mutter into their own hands
and, through the medium of suitable sfrents,-settling
it at once and perrndnelrtly. The people
have taken the hritiative" steps in this, matter,
and If Mr.' Rayner, and otlier able and patriotic
men in tne Last, wno nave no iear oi giving we
poliflcal power Into1 the hands of the majorUy of
the jpeowe, because that majority is in the 44 WAtg
WespTwill eo-pperate in the movement, the eon
test wilf be speodily terminated, and ithat detesta
ble'j apeeies of demagogacism, which seeks eleva
tion oy aracrgingioe vonsiHsuoniucoinepoiiiicai
arena, will be forever crushed.
Mr. - Rayner's speech will be read wjtfa interest
He is one of the ablest debaters iif North Caroli
na, and his speeches are always characterized by
maturity of thought and strength of argument.

0 " At a large and highly respectable meeting
or the Democrats et ortriampton- County, at Jack
son, on the 6th of March, 1851," tbe following resolu
tion, among others, was, we are told, unanimously
adopted:"
Resolved, That we take this occasion to tender our
thanks to our able and worthy Representatives in the
last Legislature trom thuceuutv, Capt. Jos. M. Rogers
and Gen. Tbos. J. Person, fur the iauhf uldiscb&rge of

inz of the Democrats id Kortluunpton" aboutd have
fn-gatt?n thai said coun had in the last, Legisla

lived ia " Northiunpton," that be was ooe of the " re
presentatives in the last legislature from Northamp
ton," that be was not only " aide" and " morthy,Z bat,
as one of her representative, was faitliful in the
" dicharge of his duties." , , . t -
. "3V hat, has David A.. Barnes done ; or, rather t what
duty'dlJ he fail as faithfully to discharge fn the late
Legislature, as Capt J. M. Rogers or Gen. Tbos, J.
Person, that the "large and highly respectable-meet

That Capt Rogers snd Gen. Person were " able and
worthy repJTsentanyesr 10 018" last Legiskture,"nd
that they faithfully " discharged their duties," we do
not at all question. But, pra, was not.y r. Barnes
as " aWe"twus be'not as " ttorthjjrl repVesentative f
did he not as " faith fidly discharge At duties" I
Then, why not hare said sot . Why single out two
of the delegation -from Northampton, "Capt J. M.
Rogers" and " Gen. Thee. J. Person as fit subjects of
laudation, when neither oftrssm anar; faithfully dis-
charged their, duties than did David' A. Barnes, Esq. f
Barnes is a, Whig that be, was silently reproached by
this, "forge and highly respectable .peeting of the
Deuiocrats of Northampton with being wanting in
ability and faithfulness to doty m the "last Legisk
turf t ' I prinfciple withr las Dexxmwty ol North
ampton, that no man who is at Whig; however faithful
Ae may. be in tbe 'discharge' of his duties,'; is deemed
worthy f the " thanks" of his constu tents J If .so,
we hope the people of Northampton will have an eye
to that same Democracy, and put it down."

us, the many noble virtues of the decease!,
the high position which he occupied in this
