Knowincr the other, denominations, his opponents have endeavored to excite, the religious feelings of the people against him. W'uh this controversy we have nothing to do, as the conductor of a pqBliical paper. W-e are aware, howev er, that the views of Bishop Ives are unpopular in North Carolina with the great masses of the people. We happen to have it in our power to say, ttat this charge against Governor Manly is untrue and wholly wilhout foundation. We have it from' those who are intimately acquainted with Governor Manly, and who know his religious views. Governor Manly is a low Church Episcopalian, and remarkably liberal in his re ligious sentiments. This.we know to be ro upon the very bet.1 authority. This announcement is entirely un necessary where he is well known. But jt so happens that among other facts, there is one very striking one which goes to prove Governor Manly's liberal sentiments in regard to other denominations, which it is well should be m.ore genieraily kuown, in view of the groundless charge against him. - A few months since, ihcre was an election by the Trustees of the. University at Chapel HuT of a Professor tho Professor of Belles letters. Dr. Wheat, of Ten nessee, an Episcopal clergyman, and Dr. Shipp, a Meth-. odist clergyman, and President of the Greensboro' Fe male College), werej the candidates fot4he Professorship. The; voting was close, and Governor Manly gave the crin vote for Dt4 Shipp, and he pa elected. It so happened that there was a new professorship created at the time, and by an arrangement between Drs. Wheat and Shipp, it was agreed that the former should take the Professorship of Belles letters, and Dr. Shipp, the new Professorship. But Dr. Shipp was elected over Dr. Wheat by the casting vote of Governor Manly. This fact caii be substantiated by indisputable authori ty if it is doubted. We only mention it to disprove the notion i that it ha&rbeen circulated with a view to preju dice Governor Manly's election that he is strait-laced or bigoted in his religiousopinlons. Newbernian.

The ; following extract from a letUyr from a frieiid.tn Surry gives a high, ly flattering account of tej impression he is making in that quarter-faeA Register. RocKioRD July 6th, 1850. "Yesterday trie candidates fbr Governor spoke at this place. ColiReid led ofT with a very long speech In favor of Free SufTVage, and the Democratic creed, which consisted in abuse of the present administration, He charged Gov. Manly with being; opposed to his favorite theme the free and equal; privileged all free men of tweniy.one having a vote for the Senate, as well as for members oft he House, He fbrthercharg. ed Gov. Manly with a willingness to vote with Wilmot, Giddingsj &c.Jfbiftbe admission of Cal ifornia. Gov. Manly is also charged with a lukwarmness in regard to Internal Improvements in his speech before the Utef Whig Convention m Raleigh, and that when he comes West, where the measure is popular, that he becomes warm upon the subject, Finally Reid's hour and a half ends, and Gq'v. Manly began to show off the Democratic nominee in a ha.irtm style. lie showed that Reid need not attempt to deceive the West by his Free Suffrage, his fair and judicious system bf Internal Improve, merit, &c. for he tbpk up the Journals from '35 to 40, and proved from his votes that every system of improvements whatever, road, river and turnpike, hadiall received the hearty dis. approbation of Col; Reid. f In fact he complete, ly demolished the exmemHer of Congress, upon every question upon which he touched. ti7The Go?ernor '3 making fair weather in the VNest, and the 1st of Agust wili tell a tale Ion" to be remembered by Col.'Reid, if he did come within 800 votes in 1848.; A Correspondent Ayrites us,from Ashe, as follows : i : - i j ; Jeffeso, Ahse Co., July 9th. "Governor Manly ajddressed a large and re spectable audience at this place on yesterday. Mr Reid was in town, but being indisposed, did not come out.' tfeve was an audience more enchained than by the pure eloquence and sound reasoning of ou;r candidate, and nev. er was there a palittcaj speech delivered in the town of Jefferson,Jandwh:ich the People, rich and poor, Whig and Democrat, were belter pleased. As soon as the speaking was ended, a shout of appjauselrafi through the assembly, and there was a rush fto bhake the Governor by the hand.

The House of Representatives on Monday, by a Vote of more than two-thirds, adopted the resolutions declaring that the Gal phin claim was not a just one ; that the princi pal was paid in conformity to an act of Con gress ; but that said act did not authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to pay interest on said claim, and that its payment was not in conformity to law or precedent. On Tuesday the last resolution censuring the Secretary of the Treasury, was reconsidered by a vote of 115 ayes to 73 nays, and a series of amend, ments offered to jt censuring lhe President, Secretary of War,! and Attorney General for their several actions in the matter. Pending these amendmentf an announcement of the critical illness of thje President was made, and the House immediately adjourned. The tone of the! Press generally, since the death of the late President, like that of the public men at Washington, with here and there an exception, indicates a calm in the public mind, and we trust that nothing may occur to reawaken that deep excitement which for so many months past has distracted and agitated, most unfavorably for the nation, all our public counsels. The suddenness of General Tay. lor's death seems tp have made speechless the men who but yesterday were invoking anathe mas upon the Union and Chief Magistrate of the Nation. Death and the grave have silenc ed the assailers and their censures, and in that better part of our nature, the heart and the conscience, judgment and calm reflection have taken the place of the passion and strife. It is' the voice of God which now speaks to us in those admonitory lessons which may give peace to the Republic and wisdom to its coun sellors. We trust this dispensation of Provi dence will not be lost upon us. Over the grave of the lamented dead, from the services of one. so eminently national in his chnrartpr nnrt ; Uhe midst of the public grief, our hearts cannot iaw to oe touched with lhat sense of self-sacri- patriotism which is so ne cessary to give strength and perpetuity to the Union. N. Y. Express. Tribute of Respect to the late President. Signs of sympathy were displayed far and near over the country while the funeral of General Taylor was progressing at Washington on Saturday. Simultaneous with the solemn man ifestations here, on Saturday last, nought broke the funeral silence in Baltimore, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New jYork, Boston, and many cities and towns, but the booming of lhe minute guns and the tolling ot the bells. In all of these places the flags were at half-mast, many of them bordered wjth crape. Most places of business, and Government and city offices were closed. Several of! the public buildings, the post office, &e., were draped in black. In the great city of New York all the banks and in. surance offices closed at twelve o'clock, and no business was doing i-n Wall street. The board ?rLbr,n ers adJournef on Friday till Monday I he Tribune says : i "The Cunrad sjeamship Europa, lying at her dock in Jersey City, fired sixty six minute guns. Her flags were all at half masf and shrouded in crape. iThis manifestation of re spect to the nation's' bereavement is most hon orable to the agentsof this line." On Tuesday, the 3d instant, a civic and mil. itary procession is lp take place in the city of New York, in solemnization- of the funeral ob sequies. All pol''eal insignia are to be exclu ded from it. Ata. Int. DEATH OF jjANDREW KERR. The melancholy ouiy devolves on us, (which we should have discharged yesterday, but for the press upon our columns,) of chronicling the death of Andrkw Kerr, senior partner of the well known firm of Kerrs & Hope, of (his City, who died at the residence of his brother, John Kerr, on Sunday morning, in the sixty third year of his age. A native of Rowan County, N. C, he came to Augusta in 1814,! and was extensively en gaged in mercantile pursuits till 1835, when he removed to Mississippi, and settled a plan tation on the river,; about sixty miles below Memphis, where he has since resided. He left his residence a few days since in perfect health, on a visit la his friends in this city, was taken sick on the way, and was quite indispos. ed on his arrival in this city on Thursday morn ing last. Medical aid was called, but neither that, nor the tender care of attached relatives, could arrest the violent progress of , he disease.

Will they do it, or will they, by apathy, by indifference, or neglect, permit themselves to be brought under the control of that party against whose policy and measures thev have so Ion and n "O valiantly warred ? If we are to judge by the spirit manitested by the Whigs, in our region, we are cheered by the prospec'. The Whigs here, are determined to take no step backward to abate not one jot of their efforts. They will come up to the ballot box with the deter, mination to sustain their principles. So far as theyan do it, Governor Manly will be re. elected, and the old North will continue to stand forth in her pride of glorious Whiggery. But are we justified in hoping that the same feeling and purpose is actuating all the Whigs of every section of the Slate ? We fear not. There is some disaffection in our nnir. a note of discord has been sounding out from Rutherford county, especially, for some time past ; and there is no doubt but some other lo calities are more or less disaffected towards m a r cy 4 & our. stanQrd bearer. However mih ;. to be regretted, yet it is evident that it cannot now be remedied : they cannot be conciliated I M .1 . uiey win not oe persuaded to sacrifice on the altar of Whig principles their objections. We find gratification, however, in the fact, that the number of Whigs thus disaffected is small, and whilst we feel assured that they cannot be so unnatural as ardently to desire the defeat of their friends, we believe they will not contribute to the support of our common enemy. It remains to those therefore, who have ever fought well to fight harder. They must make up by extraordinary exertions and zeal, for the lost by the desertion of these friends. It can be done, and if the Whigs resolve to do it, it urill be done. Then to the Polls, and let our motto be, our country and victory. RALEIGH CLIQUE STANDARD. The Raleigh Standard is doing all it can to stir up a prejudice in the Eastern and Western sections of the Slate against the Whigs of the Centre. The following sentence betrays, how ever, the whole object and aim of the editor, to wit : Will they (the Eastern and Western peo. pie) sanction the conduct of this clique' and give to it iheir approbation and confidence, th by re-electing Charles Manly, one of its tools and representatives There it is, as clear as the sun. The Stan dard's fuss is only intended to defeat Governor Manly, and elect David S. Reid. For the euc cess of this wish, he makes no bones to assail the whole community in which he lives, and from whom he derives his living in a great measure. To do this he would excite the bit. terest feelings in the East and West, and pro duce any thing but harmony between the sec tions. Such a man deserves, as he merits, lhe scorn of all well-wishers of the Slate. So far as this section is concerned, his ink and paper are lost. HURRA FOR MANLY 1 We have received from Buncombe county, the following letter, which goes to confirm our hopes that in the West Gov. Manly will sweep the field : Asheville, July 23, 1850. Dear Sir .Manly and Reid spoke, here yesterday Reid, I think, is entirely "vanish, ed or vanquished ! ' Never was a little man, wiih a set ox liltle principles so completely used up in so Voile time.
