WHIG MEETING IN WAKE.
ii-rfcibly 10 a previous call, a respectable and
.VllVent number of the Whigs of the County o
,ke assembled at the Town Hall, in the City
jjaloigh, on Monday, the 17th insl. On motion
f Mij 0 L- H into a. the Hon. isx H. Brtak
aj called io the Chaii ; nnd on the further m
0o ofMaj- H.SctToif Gales and Allex Adams
, rcnuesied to aci an Secretaries
On asumin.r the duties of the Chair, Mr. Bryan j
sdJre-ed the meeting, at some length, ana witn
much force and eloquence, with reference to the
purposes for which the meeting had convened,
,n j ;n relation to public affairs generally ; sub
fcunii.iHy 38 follows:
r. B. said that it was the right and duty of
the American people, or any portion of them, to
assemble, whenever it may suit their convenience,
and inqu're 'nt0 dicuss public matters and
the conduct of public servants.
Our peculiar interests and duties as Southern
men demand a wiso and prudent vigilance. A
faithful enforcement of the Constitution is neces
sary to our protection and prosperity. The Un
ion the Union contemplated by the Constitution,
js our safety. Arid in forming an opinion as to
the proper candidates for the Presidency, these
considerations 35t largely enter. The question
should not be whether the Candidate has been
born on this or that side of Mason and Dixon's
line ; that is like "the stamp of the guinea." We
seek for true worth in the man.
In my opinion, said Mr. B., nnd I have taken
some pains to fori) ono, and feel some interest
in forming a correct one, Millard Fillmore may
be safoly trusted by the South not as aa North
ern man with Southern feelings," but as an A
taerican citizen with Constitutional principles and
patriotic feelings. We ought not and do not re
quire any thiog more in a Chief Magistrate of the
Kopuhlic, than that in U language of his oath,
he will preserve, protect and defend the Consti
tution of the United States,1' and in the language
of that Constitution, thai "he shall take care that
the laws be faithfully executed." The ordinary
acts of Congress are'easily executed and call for
no extraordinary display of ability or firmness in
the Chief Magistrate in their enforcement; but
with regard to the act of 1S50, commonly called
the Fugitive Slave law, it is notorious that it has
met with violent opposition and that it has been
assailed in some of the States of the Union by the
Pulpit, the Press nnd the demagogue. The en
forcement of the provisions of this act, owing to
circumstances well known, and which he need not
stop to detail, did demand a high degree ol finn
ness and moral courage. This demand has been
fully taet by the present Chief Magistrate. His
conduct has been marked by those traits of char
acter which designate the Statesman and Patriot,
and shew that he is deeply imbued with the
principles of Washington, nnd we. as Southern
men, should be ungrateful and deficient in judg
ment and policy, if we did not sustain him and
that upon the plain principle that he is sincerely
disposed to accord to us and determined to secure
to us, our Constitutional tights, tie need Lot
advert to his course in regard to the infamous
Christiana outrage and murder, the atrocious
Syracuse roboery and attempt at assassination;
even his political enemies admit that here he
has behaved nobly and firmly.
He perceived that he had been feebly assailed witn
respect to what may be called his foreign policy,
or, to be more particular, it is alleged that he failed
in his duty or has transcended his duty in his con
duct towards our citizens engaged in the Cuban
invasion, and more recently in the Mexican revolt
or insurrection.
Wbat be had to say, now, in regard to this
charge, is simply this, that if Mr. Fillmore is
wrong in this matter, then the whole policy of
our government, from its found-tiioo, has been j
wrong then Washington was wrong, when he
issued his proclamation in 1793 for the purpose
of enforcing, on the part of our cnicens, the very
duties which Mr. Fillmore seeks to enforce; then
Jefferson wae wrong, when in 1807, he sent a
special message to Congress upon the subject of
the expeditiou against the territory of a lriendU
power. (Spain,) by an illegal combination ofpri
rate indiciduals, and especially wrong in taking
"measures for suppressing the same." Then the
act of 1818. sanctioned by the sagacious Monroe,
and the object of which is to prevent these f xpe
diiKin., 19 utterly wrong, and a cruel restraint upon
the liberty of ernsaders. Mr. Van Buret) too was
eminently wrong when in 1838 he issued his pro
clamation warning all citizens engaged in schemes
for the invasion of Canada to desist that they
must not expect the interference of the Govern
ment of the United States on their behalf, but
would be left reproached by every virtuous citi
zen, to be dealt with according to the justice and
policy of the government whose territory tl;ey had
invaded.
Indeed, said Mr. B.t it seems to me, that
we of the South, more than all other citizens of
the repub ic, should deprecite these visionary
crusades for the purpose of extending the area
of freedom, as it is called, by subverting oiher
civilised governments and fraternizing with
strange people, who differ from us in all thees
seutial characteristics of freemen, and some of
whom differ from us not slightly too in color.
For aught we know, a French or other Euro
pean Republican (as be most ignorantly calls him
self) might think our domestic institutions could
, be relormed, and some Anachartis Klootz might
very willingly undertake to perform his part in
this business as a political Missionary. He merely
surres'eJ these matters for reflection ; he did nut
wi.-h now to enlarge upon them.
He would say however, with regard to Mexic ,
that it would become us notonly as a magnanimous
but as a just people, to treat her with kindness and
lorbearance. We should be governed by the
Roman maxim. M spare the humble and subdue
the proud." We have acquired some of her most
valuable territories it may be said that we pur
chased them: but in weighing out to her the pur
chase money, like Brennua, the Gaul, we threw
the sword into the scale.
He thought that Mr. Fillmore's foreign policy
then was eminently such aa to entitle dim to our
support. He took the l.berty of telling him, when
he had the honor of being presented to him in Au
gust 1850, that we in Norm Carolina would give
bun a fair trial. As fr as regarded himself, he l ad
done so and was heartily willing to record a verdict
in his favor.
Asto William A Giaham, he felt that it was
unnecessary before this assembly to say any thing
in his commendation. Most of us knew him
personally he has lived among as and the bet
ter we knew him the more we liked him. We
have known him as a citizen, a legislator, as
the chief Magistrate of the State, and as Head of
an important department ol tne f ecerai urovern
tnent. Io all these various positions, he has been
found adequate to and eminently qualified to dis
charge his dutr. As a man, his ability and in
tern tv are unauestioned. He is a true son of
North Carolina and of her old and tried Revolu
tionary stock. We are willing to trust him
After Mr. Bryan had concluded, Hehrt W.
Miller, Esq., submitted tne toliowing resolu
tions prefacing them with a few eloquent re
marks. RESOLUTIONS.
As it is HECKS3ART for the full and efficient
.organization of the Whig party, preparatory for
the important elections which are to De neio au
t next year, that there should be a general Con
vention of the Whigs of the State : therefore
1. ResAved, That the Chairman of this meeting
appoint thirty Delegates to attend snch Conven
tion, in behalf of the Whigs of this County.
2. Resdeed, That considering the great impor
tance, not only to our own State, but alo to the
whole Union, f tho elections which are to be held
durinz the next year, we would most earnestly ap
peal to the Whigs throughout the State to call pri
mary meetings, and appoint Delegates to said
Convention, that the views of all sections may be
fully and fairly represented, and that an efficient
organization of our party may be secured.
3. Resdeed, That who ever mty be selected
by the said Convention as our candidate at the
next election for the Governor of the State no
matter from what quarter he may come he will
receive from the Whigs of Wake a zealous and
united suoport, regardless of personal preferences
and sectional considerations.
4. Resolved, That we approve most heartily
Utt present Administration of the National Gov--ru:i4cut,
aud we do not hesitate to declare, that
for hvs prompt and uniform efforts to uphold the
supremacy of the law, to maintain the constitu
tion, and preserve the Union. MILLARD FILL
MORE h. entitled himself to the confidence and
gratitude of the whole Nation.
5. Resolved, That whilst we regard the course
of the present Administration, in reference lo our
domestic policy, as marked by a degree of firm
ness and wisdom, calculated to establish and se
cure the rights of all sectious of the country, ad
vance their prosperity and perpetuate the Union,
we admire no less the faithful observance of all
Treaty stipulations, the scrupulous respect for the
rights of other nations, and the bold, avowed, and
able defence of those of our own, which have char
acterized its Foreign Policy.
6. Resolved, That having the most ample as
surance, from his past acts, that MILLARD
FILLMORE is fai hful, honest, capable and pa
triotic, that he will continue to administer the
Government upon those great conservative prin
ciples, which were recognized and established by
the Father of his country, "and which can alone
insure our prosperity and perpetuate our Free
institutions, regarding with promptness and fidel
ity, the rights of all sections, and watching with
vigilance .and repelling with firmness, every at
tack which may be aimed at the integrity and
permanency of the Uuiin,without which our liber
ties cannot be perpetuated, we are firmly convin
ced that his election to the Presidency in 1852
will advance the pe.ice and prosperity, an. I redound
to the honor of the nation, and therefore we de
clare our decided preferences for him, for lh.il high
office.
7. ft solved, That we have seen with gratifica
tion the high and just esteem in which our dis
tinguwhed fellow-citizen, WILLIAM A. GRA
HAM, is held by his Countrymen in all parts uf
the Union, and it will be a pleasure to us to sus
tain his nomination for the Vice Presidency ,
knowing, as we have long known, his ability,
his integrity, both private and public, and the de
motion to the public good wuku he has displayed
id every station he has heretofore held.
8. Resolved, That we view with the utmost
detestation nui only the lawless and Infamous
a i temp to which have been made in some of the
Nonhern State, to obstruct the execution of the
Fugitive Law, but also the violation in other sec
tions of the Country, of our treaty stipulations
with a foreign nation, by fitting out armed expe.
ditions against one of her Colonies, regarding, as
we do, all such act, and the countennance given
them, as the offspring of the same reckless and
fanatical spirit, which is seeking with the most
unscrupulous zeal, and nefarious purposes, the
destruction of our Union, and the final overthrow
of our Republican Institutions.
9. Resolved, That very obligation of patriotism
and duty demands that the Whigs should unite,
on those national, conservative principles, which
governed them in times past, of respect for the
laws, reverence for the Constitution, and devotion
to the Union; and we do not hesitate to proclaim
it as our solemn conviction, that the faithful ob
servance and execution of all the provisions of
the Compromise are necessary for the security of
our peace and the perpetuity of that Union.
10. Rmoltfd, That the repeal by Congress of
the Fugitive Law, or any amendment whereby
its provikions will be rendered inoperative or in
efficient, will be a gross and palpable violation of
the Constitutional obligations ol that body, and
will be regarded and met by the whole South,
without party distinction, as an unwarrantable,
unjust and dangerous assault upon their Constitu
tional rights.
11. Resolved, That we hail the results of the
recent Elections in Alabama, Georgia and -Mississippi,
as strong proofs of the attachment of
our People to the Constitution and Union as they
now are; as signal triumphs of Patriotism over
Parly, aud we view with the most unqualified
condemnation and abhorrence, the disgraceful
Coalitions which were formed, in some of the
late Elections at the North,, to secure the tempo
rary success of Party, with that unscrupulous
a d unprincipled faction, which has been seeking
by the most lawless attacks upon the rights and
Domestic Institutions of the South, to weaken
the bands which unite us together, and t alienate
in a Sect ion and interest one section of the Coun
try from the other.
12. Resolved, Thnt so long as Faction and
Fanaticism bar sway or are countenanced and
encouraged by either of the two great political
Parties of the Gonntry, there cun be no perman
ent security to our domestic peace and happiness.
It is therefore the imperative duty of all good men
regardless ofpolttic.il distinctions, and party alle
giance, to unite to put down, and keep down such
threatening evils, so that lawless violence, and
wicked and designing combinations, whether
under the guise of Secession or Abolitionism, may
no longer degrade our character, and impair our
prosperity as a Nation.
13. Revived, That the fearless stand which
bas been taken by that part of the National Ju
diciary, resident at the North, in behalf of the
faithful execution of the laws of Congress, enti
tles it to the h ghest commendation, illustrating
as it does the truth of the principle, so firmly in
terwoven in our sy-tem of Government, that an
enlightened and independent Judiciary is one ol
(he great bulwarks of American liberty.
These Resolutions were ckasjmousLY and by

WHIG MEETING IN RANDOLPH,
aiueeung oi me Whigs of Randolph, as
sembled by proclamation in the courthouse On the
4ih day of November, it being Tuesday of Coun-
.y yourr, jonn b. lroy.Kaq., was called lo the
chair, -and Alfred Brower was requested to act as
secretary.
At the request of the chairman, Henry B. El
liott, Esq., explained the objects of the meeting,
and at the conclusion of ins remarks offered Hie
following resolutions:
The Whigs of Randolph desire to express their
concurrence in the recent movement of the Whigs
of Gudford, and to co-operate wiih them , for ttie
purpasoof "renewing and strengthening the old
bonds ol fraternity, of consulting for the camrrton
safety, and of preparing for the campaign of 1853.'
Therefore it is . "
Resolved, That 'hey will send twenty Delegates
to the Whig State Convention proposed to be
held in Greensborough on tho. third Monday in
February next, or at such other time and place
as may be fixed on, and ihat said delegates be ap
pointed by the chairman of this meeting.
Resolved, That Millard Fillmore, by the bold,
honest, and fearless discharge of his duties, and
by the conservative and national conduct of his
administration, has fulfilled the requirements ol
his "great office," and the whigs of Randolph are
willing aud anxious to rally under his banner in
the great presidential campaign in 1852
Rt solved, That North Carolina has given re
peated manifestations of fidelity to the great con
servative principles of tne Whig party and ofde
votion to the uuion, and if she does take her "ac
customed sleep," she has never been caught nap
ping over the cinere doloso, the treacherous em
bers of secession and disunion. And she appeals
to the Whigs of the Union to recognize that fideli
ty and devotion, by elevating to the office of Vice
President of the United States, her favorite son
William A. Graham, a worthy son of a noble sire
a gentleman who has proved himself true to the
Revolutionary traditions of bis native state, and
who has illustrated in his life and character the
qualities which constitute the gentleman, the
scholar, and the statesman.
Rtsoloed, Tnat we have seen with deep regret,
that some of our whig brethren have been led
into the bogs and sloughs of Abolitionism, by fol
lowing after designing and mercenary guides,
who hsve abused and taken advantage of their hu
man impulses, by preaching a false, mawkish, and
delusive philanthropy, and we advise them in a
feeling of political brotherhood, to come out from
amougst such dangerous associates, and no long
er hold communion wiih those conspirators against
the peace and perpetuity of the Union.
Rts-kcd, That the Whigs of Randolph are U
nion men good and true. But if their humble
voice mighi be heard, they would invoke the men
ol all parties at the north to bear it in mind, that
the Union may yet be dissolved by violence and
fanaticism that scenes similar to those enac ed
at Christiana and Syracuse, il olien repeated,
will rend asunder the bonds of this union, as did
Sampson tho withs of ihe Philistines, that there
is a point beyond which southern endurance can
uot go, and that if there is not sufficient of law
abiding feeling to put down fanaticism and resis
tance to the law, and rebellion at the north, the
south may be driven by a feeling of blind despera
tion to pull down the pi liars of the American U
nion, though we perish in the ruim.
After some further remarks by H. B. Elliot E.q,
on motion of Isaac H. Foust Esq., the Resolu
tions were unanimously adopted.
The following are the delegates appointed un

KOSSUTH IN ENGLAND.
We stated in in our last, that M. Kossuth ar
rived at Southampton on the 23rd ultimo, and
was received by the Mayor and the people with
public honors. The papers bring accounts of the
ceremonies on this occasion, which, wiih some
abridgement, we transfer to our columns.
After landing and receiving the greetings of
their Hungarian fiends, Kossuth and his family
entered the Mayor's carriage, which was prece
ded by a band of music, the English and Ameri
can ensign, aud was decorated witu i;ie Hunga
rian tri-color, and moved towards the town.
Two or three private carriages attended ihe pro
cession, and some half dozen hackney coacti s,
with a Urge number of persons on loot. On the
line of the procession the windows were full ol
people, most of whom cheered or waved handker
chief; the bells rang from all the steeples, and
as Kossuth, bare headed, stood bowing at the back
of the open carnage, his hands were repeate
seized and pressed by hU countrymen, wliosedly
example was at last fdloweJ by some of the
English people. The carriage hiving arrived at
the Mayor's coach factory, ttie gate was closed
sgainst the crowd, but Kossuth soon afterwards
appeared in the balcony, and was received very
warmly. After a few words from the Mayor, M.
Kossuth proceeded to speak as follows :
I beg you will excuse my bad Engli h. Several
weeks back 1 was a prisoner in Kioutoyah, in Asia
Minor. Now 1 am a free man. lam a free man,
because g urious England chose it. TLat England
chose it, which the genius of mankind selected for tlte
resting moo tKBent of its greatness, and the spirit of
freedom for his happ home. Cheered by your sym
pathy, which is the anchor of hope to oppressed hu
manity , with the view of your freedom, your great
neat, and your happiness, and with the consciousness
of my unhappy land fo my breast, you must excuse
the emotion J feel, the natural consequence of so stri
king a change and such different circumstances. So
excuse me for not being able to thank you so warmly
as I feel for the generous reception by which you ho
nor, in my undeserving person, the cause of my coun
try. I hope God Almighty may forever bless you
and your glorious land. Let me hope you will be
willing to throw a ray of hope and consolation on my
native laud by this your generous reception. M ay
England be ever great, glonous. and free ; but let me
hope, by the blessing of Almighty God, and by our
own steady perseverance, and by your own generous
aid, that England, though she may ever remain the
moat glorious spot oa earth, will not remain forever
tbe ooly one where liberty dwells. Inhabitants of
the generous town ol Southampton I in snaking nanus
with your mayor, my best and truest friend, I have
the honor to thank you, and to salute with the deep
est respect, you, the inhabitants of the industrious,
noble-minded, enlightened, and prosperous city of
Southampton.
The people received this address with loud
cheers. The Mayor then very briefly expressed
his lhanks to them for the kind reception they had
given his friend, after which the band struck up
' God save the Queen." When the music had
ceased
Kossuth again spoke, thus : "It is, gentlemen, a
glorious sight, to behold a Queen on tbe throne rep
resenting the principle of liberty. You have that pri
vilege. In thanking you once more for your generous
welcome, let me add an expression of my feelings, in
which I entreat you to join. I give you three cheers
for your gTacioua Queen, f Loud cheers. God bless
her. God bless you alL Renewed cheers.
Kossuth then retired from the window while
the greater part of the crowd proceeded toward
Tempfe Bar, wherein the addresses prepared for
the occasion were to be presented. The hall was
filled with respectable persons, a number of them,
ladies, and the Alderman and Common Council
men appeared in their robes. When at the ap
pointed time, Kossuth entered, he was received
with the waimest acclamations. He was accom
paned by the Mayor, who, having introduced
him to the members of the Corporation and others,
proceeded to address him in au energetic speech,
which was loudly applauded throughout. Whet,
ihn cheeris? had subsided
M. Kossuth replied to the address in the most
eloquent terms:
Repeated cheering followed the conclusion of
ois address; The Mayor then presented Kos
suth with a Hungarian flag, worked by Hungarian-
in New York when it was thought the revo
luti on in Hunzary would prove successful, which
memorial Kossuth received with great emotion.
Other addresses, greetings, and cheerings were
haa, when the meeting broke up, and the public
proceedings of the reception terminated
Ksauth spent the night at the Mayor's house
at Southampton, andn the morning proceeded
to his private residence at Winchester, where an
entertainment was given on lhe25ih, in order to
give Kossuth's friends an opportunity of meeting
himgj Among those present were Lord Dudley
StuaTt, M. Pabzsky. Mr. Cobden, Mr. Broskey, lie
A merica n Consu I, 8cc. The Queen, t he President
of the United Stales and the Turkish Sultan
were toasted ; after which the health of Kossuth j
was proposed, to which he responded in a speech
which fills three column in the London Chroni
cle. On Tuesday, the 23th, Kossuth made a private
visit to London, to join his family, who had pre
ceded him, but was to return to Southampton next
day. He was to receive the address of the Cor
poration of L ndon at Guildhall, on Thursday,
October 30th.

WHERE SHALL MY GRAVE BE ?
Oh where shidl my grave be?
'Neath the glad green earth,
Where tho sunshine smileth.
Where the violets have birth
Wlier the li ly bondetli,
W here blooms the rose,
And tbe willow shadeth
My place of repose?
Oh where shall my grive be ?
'Neaih the sculptured tomb,
Reared by affection's hand,
Telling my doom !
Where a motlier can offer
Up holiest prayer.
And friends can weep o'er me
Oh shall it be there ?
Oh where sha'l mv grave be 7
In the watery d"eep,
'Midst old Ocean's treasures.
Shall I sleep my last sleep 1
Shall the sand be my bed,
Sliall the rock be my pillow ;
Oh say shall I rest
'Neath the wild, tossing billow ?
Oh where shall my grave be ?
Where friends are not near
To heave thu soft aigh.
To shed the sad tear ;
Away from my native ohore,
O'er mountain and sea,

O there shall it be ?
Oh where shall my grave be ?
It matters not where ?
But my dwelling beyond

SONG FOR THINKERS.
BT CHARLES SWAIX.
Take the spade of Perseverance,
Dig the field of Progress wide ;
Every rotten root of faction
Hurry out, and cast aside ;
Every Ktubborn weed of Error :
Every seed that hurts the soil ;
Tares, whose very growth is terror
Dig them out, whate'er the tod!
Give the stream of Education
Broader channel, bolder force ;
Hurl tbe stones of Persecution
Out. where'er tbey block its course ;
8eek for strength in self exertion ;
Work, and still have faith to wait ;
Close the crooked gate to fortune ;
Make the road to honor straight !
Men are agents for the future !
As they work so ages win
Either harvest or advancement,
Or the product of their sin 1
Follow out true cultivation,
Widen Education's plan ;
From the majesty of Nature
Teach the majesty of man 1
Take the spade of Perseverance,
Dig the field of Progress wide ;
Every bar to true instruction
Hurry out and cast aside;
Free tbe plant whose fruit is Wisdom ;
Cleanse from crime the com noon sod,
So that from the throne of Heaven
It may bear tbe glance of God.
