( Applause. ) In referr nee, Mr. Chairman, to my adminis tration to which you hajye been pleased to al lude in terms of eulogy,! I have nothing to say. It, has been remarked iy a wise man that no one's biography should be written until he is dead ; and a prudentnjan should leave his pub lie acts to be judged by others. My past acts arc the only pledges I can give of what my ad ministration is hereafter to he. I have no pro- mies to make, except that in all I do I shall tako the Constitution f r my guide and will as autne all the responsibilities it imposes what ever the sacrifice iflity be ; and while that flag floats (pointing to the National flag suspended from the Hotel) I will naintain that Constitu tion and the Union it secures at any and every cost. (Great Applaud.) Again, fellow citizei, I tender! to you my gfateful acknowledgements for this very flatter ing reception. j . - ; After the the President had concluded, Mr. Stuart responded in his usual forcible and elo mient manner to the repeated calls of JiU fel lOWjcitizen?, in a short jand appropriate-speech. The i President thenretired to the parlor of the Hotel, where a large number of ladies and gentlemen weie successively introduced to him. At four oVIock about njhundred gentlemen sat down with the president to a sumptuous dinner prepared by the proprietor of the Hotel ; and In the evening he wasjenterlaincd at the resi dence of Mr. Stuart, wlbere many of the citi zens paid their respects to both guett and host. On Sunday the President attended divine wor- yship at Severa; Churches, and on Monday morn intr led Iiiivii in nn eitira enarh for ilia Whiter Sulphur Springs. r . The Spectator concludes its account ol the truly hopiialle reception of the Chief Magis trate in the following t$rms : Thus Mr. Fillmore (ias come and gone, but (lie impression made by his manly bearing, his honest face, and his plain yet earnest and pa-, triolic language will not be transient. He is indeed a noble specimen of a man and a gen tleman, and wins all hearts that approach him by an unaflTected sincerity and gracefulness of his manners. Prepossessed as wewere in bis favor, our expectations were far exceeded, and this we believe to be the unanimous sentiment of our people. He came among us t ravelling as any private citizen without ostentation or display, and only precipded by the knowledge that in trying limes hti hnd discharged the du ties of his office with wisdom and fidelity: he wns received wiili a popular enthusiasm such as is seldom awakened except to greet a military hero, and he jus left us with the per aotial best wishes of every individual. ... .vj i : UNKIND. ' , The Southern Irjess seems to have a poor opinion of its Ldcofoco allies in North Carolina. The Pres has no confidence in their sincerity, foj- it says that they are only so hostile to the Union, because the" Whigs art' in favor pf it. The Press, in an article bended North Carolina," says : - bycry Democratic " paper in this State is opposed to jthe compromise, and some of these papers are as ultra for dis union as the- most rampant secession pa pers of South Carolina ; for instance, the Charlotte Hornet's ftest, the Raleigh Stan (lardvlhn Wilmington Commercial, fyc. There is a criuse " fojr this, of course, the Whigs of North Carolina being all "Un ion" men, the Locosj have taken a differ ent tack Clinginap, the secession can didate for Congress! in thelst distrct, is 8upportejd by every jLocofoco paper in his district, and (since hje ran as the "Demo . cratic" candidate for the United States Senates lie has utterly disowned the Whig party, ofl which he iivas a member. He is the only man of ,(any prominence now co operaiing with tWorth Carolina Lo cos for secession, wjfTo can lay claim of ever beitjg a Whig: Every Loco candid ate of Congress is a "Southern rights" man, and in. the Gil; district Calvin Graves (Union Democrat) is supported bv the Whigs against Venable, the regular Loco Crtndidate." i Now, although eintirclv correct in its opinion, it is certainly very unkind in the Press, thus to question the sincerity of its Locofoco hretbreti. Perhaps, however, the lVcss thinks as we do, that it is verv ridiculous and cow rdly in these Locoloco papers, to come oui in favor of disunion - Tml-South Carolini secessibn. just at the yiirne wheiv South Carolina herself seems about to abandon it. As long as there was any danger, they kept quieti but as scon as the chances of a fight begin to grow smaller by degrees" they are all in arms. Fay. Observer. CUBAN NEW AT If EW ORLEANS. The news from Havana, received w New Orleans on the 8ip irstant, by the steamer Cherokee, and; published 'in the papers of that city, is M trle inost contra dictory character. Tbjie lejters to most of the papers are a perfect record of Patriot ..;ris whilst the Trii T)i-lta 2tves the Ssrnnish version, which is a. series of Pa triot defeats and overthrows. The Pica yune cites as an evidence of the untruth fulness of the Spanish Statements the fact that accounts have been published of the' capture ofAguero, the) Patriot leader, at five different points, whilst) they are as sured by a gentleman (direct from Puerto Principe that he was still in command of a party of insurgents. Thp Courier has alsothe following start ing announcement: "Havana in a state of Siege. We learn from a person worthy of credit, arrived by the Cherokee, and whp wak well situated in Havana for knowing thib intentions of the Government, that Itwoklays after the departure of the steamer the city was to be declared in a state bf siege." The NvOrleans Trije Delta, on the oth er hand, states its firni belief that the an nouncement of Patriot victories are all fa bles, and adds : ! i - In our own correspondence, nor in the correspondencej voluminou and trust vvor they, kindly placed at our Service by gen tlemen of tried integrity afid genuine A merican feeling and patriotism, do we find the slightest warrant for believing at this THE SOUTH- CAROLINA REACTION.

A FOG I It is jindeed amusing to recur to the files ol the Standard' for several weeks past, and pe- cording lo the official report ? The chair (E. W.

A. J. Stanton moved thai, inasmuch as from the extraordinary crowd present, it was necessary to hold the meeting in Jront of the Court House the people standing that the discursioo should be confined to two speakers on a side; and that each speaker should be lim ited to a half hour. This proposition was unanimously agreed to. Col. C- W. Dudley-then rose and offered the following resolution : Resolved. That iti the opinion of this meet ing, the secession of South Carolina without the co-operation of other Southern States is un wise and inexpedient. C. A. Thornwell, Esq., seconded the resolu tion, and ably discussed and supported it in a speech which was loudly cheered. Ihe Chairman, when Mr. 1 bornwell had resumed his seat, invited a reply from the oth er side ; but the separate secessionist, although present in full force looking on tacitly de- clined to accept the challenge.

The public must decide for themselves in this conflict of opinion. As for us owning no patriot scrip, and being entirely uncon nected by pecuniary interest; with either of the reported belligerjentsfWe aim rather to impart truth than to win popularity. The New Orleans Courier say that the steamer Pampero has only Tee:i hired for - i- the-expedition, good and sufficient securi ty in the sum of 832,000 having been giv en to ensure her oNvrTej-s against her loss. The New Orleans Bulletin, a calm and dispassionate paper, says : We have read the several conflicting statements dispassionately, making due (allowances for interested and excited feel ings, and leaving a large margin for cre dulity and enthusiasm, and our conviction is, that the revolution in Cuba is a appointed tellers lo count the ranks who soori repoited the number in favor of the resolution to be six hundred and twenty seven. The whole number ot voters in Uie District is about 850. The other side was then invited to make a showing, but declined to march out. The tVo following resolutions were after wards adopted unanimously : Resolved, That the Chairman of this meet in" dej communicate the foregoing resolutions to the delegates who will represent Marlboro' District, in the State Convention, and request them, respectfully, to vole in conformity thereto ; and in the event of their failing to signify to him their intention to do so, then, that the Chair man do cause a full account ol the proceed ings of this day, as expressive of the public sen timent of Marlboro' District, to be laid before said Convention, whenever assembled.

This last resolution indicates the position generally asumed by the antirecession party. It is difficult to conceive that it really express es the undivided sentiment of that party, and we suppose it has been assented to merely to ensure the defeat of the separate secession movement.

Ashville Messenger. Something New Galvanic Printing Press. -Mr. F. Foreman passed up on the Fulton, on Sunday, on His vvay to Wash ington, to procurtra patent for a most in genious and practical invention. He had with him a perfect mojdel bf a printing press, moved and regulated by means of galvanic magnets. We shall not attempt a complete description of Mr. FVdiscov. ery ; suffice it to say, that he had the press in full operation, with a forrri upon it, from which he' threw dff impressions with the rapidity of. lightning. His paper works upon a reef, and is continuous, like the tel egraphic coil. The paper passes over the type on a cylinder, and when One side is worked the paper is reversed, and the other side printed with a most perfect re gister, and the sheets are clipped apart, as they come from the press, by an ingen ious contrivance. There is ho limit hard ly, to the speed at which tois j nress will work ; its exactness is beyond anything j known in this line of machinery, and what ,is better than all, Mr. F. says he can put up the largest sized press at a cost of not more than 8500. Mr. Foreman is a prac tical printer, and at present a citizen of New Boston. III. In 1819, he had charge of the; Herald, in this place, for a few weeksi; We have no doubt! that his for tune' is ! now made and wei sincerely re joice at i.Mascalinet (Ioica) Enq.

CLAY ON COLONIZATION, ay has wiilen a letter in reply to Mr. Hankey, of London, in relation to the emigxa lion of free people of color to the West Indies. He says jhe has a decided preference for Afri ca; to any other country, for colonization pur poses, but sees no incompatibility between the object of transporting the free blacks to Africa and that of sending Ihem to the British West India colonies. He thinks, however, that if the attempt be made to induce these people to go to the West India Colonies, it would be prop, er, that suitable agents should be sent lo the U. States, to; explain to free blacks ihe advantages and privileges they would enjoy by removing to the West Indies, and to offer them the means of their transportation. In one part of this let ter, Mr. Olay says: I have 'no doubt that it would conduce to the happiness of both races if the blacks were re moved frdm the United States by colonization orexpatriation ; but that object is unattainable whh regard to the slave portion of thai popula tion, -whillst their bondage continues to exist in ihe United Stales. How long that will be can only bfc matter of conjecture. My own opinion long and deliberately entertained, is, That as they are held in slavery for the purpose of ob taining a necessary supply of labor, slavery will cease, whenever, by the increase of white population, free while labor can be procured cheaper than that or blacks. He says in anoiher place : The Amjerican Colonization Society has found in the abblitinnist of the United States a con stant opposition to ihe African colony. They use all the arts in their power lo dissuade the may muddy the waters but you cant escape. Again, in his issue of July ttOih, the High Priest" indulged in the following cheering raph sody : "Our information from the Eighth Distiict continues to be ol a chpering and gratifying na ture The die is already cast the popular mind is made up Col. R tiffin must and will be elected over the recreant Stanly. The peo ple, we learn, are deeply excited, and a lare vote will be polled. It i not necessary that we should appeal to our friends in the District lo go to the polls tbey are fully aroused al ready, and will tuin out by thousands." Yes, indeed, a large vote was polled, and as it happened, a few too many for your friend Iluf fin's good! , And a majority of the intelligent and potriotje people ol the "immortal eighth" have given; the lie direct to the vile calumny, which you put forth in this article against .Mr. Stanly! "Recreant!" Are those who voted for him recreants also 7 Again : In ihe same issue, the High Priest went into exstacis over a letter he had leceiv. ed. Hear him ! " We have just received a letter from an es teemed fiiend in the Third District, which con tains the gratifying assurance of Maj. Cald welVs election over Gen. Dockery. We learn that many of ihe leading Whigs of the Distiict are openly advocating the Major's election, and will sustain him with all their strength at the polls." There were not quite enough of such Whigs as your k esteemed friend" had in his eye, to verify his prediction and make good his " gra tifying assurance," by some thousand or so ! That " esteemed friend" maybe delighted at your honied commendation," but he is, no doubt just about this time, something like yourself, "down in the mouth" at the piospectof a voyage up Sail River ! Do write to him, and tell him to secede io over to South Carolina ! The weather is warm and we are too close together for comfort ! Secede secede Sir Oracle ! Be quick about it too, or you will be in ihe hands of the Philistines! We would advise you also to keep cool this hot weather, Sir Oracle ! You have, a hard voyage before you in your little rickelly rotten secession bark. You will in all likelihood be shipwrecked, but donl forgel your avocation. Shout, as you go down, lo the topmost pitch of your voice "Go il Rujjin! Huzza for Caldwell ' Sink or swim, I go for Secession!" Let the dead rest in peace, friends ! Whilst living, he indulged his imagination too freely and depeiided loo much on information from " esteemed friends" but no matter! Il was a failing he could'nt help ! " Slowly and sadly let us lay him down, " From the field of his fame fresh and gory ; " Let us carve not a line let us raise not'a stone, But leave him alone with his glory ?" r.iftv.

And if to pre- ; serve the Union it becomes necessary for j them to'resort to arms, will he be found marshalled under the black flag of disun ion, levelling his musket at the breasts of the Union-loving men of North Carolina ?

We are sure the public would have no objection to knowing, though they may not feel any great concern on the subject. But to seem to be surprised at friend Eccles' course would be dissembling the truth: Of South Carolina he is oi,e of them one by birth and interest.

F. MARSHALL. We learn from the Hon. T. F. Marshall, who elected to the House of Renresentativea of Kentucky from Woodford county, made a speech on the nighl of his election, in which he gave notice ibat he dissolved all connexion with ihe Democratic party, and from thence- forth resumed his old position as a Whig. The circumstances of the avowal, as they have been relatecfto us, are characteristic and amusj ing. Mr. Marshall has been acting for some years with ihe Democrats. " In this race, how. ever, he ran as an independent candidate, and was supported by many Whigs: but doubtless he, owes his election mainly to Democratic votes. Afier the result was known on fmiHav free people of colbr from voluntarily going to ; night, Mr. Barnes, histompeiitor, made a short .A.iica, uuu uirir exertions nave oeen ail ended ; speecn, in wnicn ne said that he considered it with some success.

It has gone forth from the South ern States that they will abide by the Com promise ; their people have proclaimed it from hill to hill, and from valley to valley; and thus have they put their seal of con demnation on the disunion movement. Will those of different views and feelings ! attempt to coerce them into a course of action against their convictions of right j and duty ? And is this not the very thing which secessionists disunionists are at tempting Say they, we will, by sepa rate State action, compel them either to destroy us, or to destroy the Union.
