I ''-I Thel A:pniversay of our (National Inde pendence is again approaching, when it is hppedlthat, as. tisual, it will be celebra ted in a becoming manner in every por tion oft djor vast country. On this occa sion, so deeply interesting to every Amer ican heart, the memory of him who so signally aided in securing and perfecting that independence cannot but be warmly cherished, and his-great and inestimable services duly appreciated alnd remember ed. His countrymen will then have another uODoorturiUv of evincing their :.s r j - - t sensef the value: of those services, and at the same time their gratitude and ven eration for the greatest patriot that ever adorned , the pagef history. To this end the Board of Managers of thje Washington jNational MonmJht Society respectfully suggest that collections be taken up 1 where Ver the nextAnniversary of our Na tional .Independence may be celebrated in aid of the greaiMonumepl now in pro gress in the city of Washington; and, in in an especial maimer, they Would request jclergymen of all nominations in the U. S, ito address ther respective congregations on jthis subject, and obtara from them such contributions as their patriotism and re spect for the menjdry of Washington may induce them to make;. This duty, it is be- lie ved, cannot befbuta most pleasing and agreeable one, and their aid and co-operation in this respect will be duly appre ciated by all who take an interest in this noble undertaking! The next Fourth of July wilt fall on Sunday, and the clergy imen throughout lie country will thus have a favorable opportunity in their re spective churches of rendering this patri otic sejrvlce lo the; father of our Indepen dence. The moneys which may be col lected can be transmitted to the Hon. E. iWhittlespy; the General Agent of the So ciety at Washington. I An' admirable fllan for obtaining funds for thii great obje,ct has been devised by jtheEdttor of the Southern Sentinel," of Louisiana, which:! hope will be followed every where in the United States. The Mayor of Plaqueliiine, Dr. Hornsby, is, I jperceive about tp carry it into effect at the next' municipal election of that place and I learn that the Mayor of Washing ton intends to adopt a similar plan at the approaching city elections.

' 1 A Whig meeting in Stanly appointed 20 Delegates to the same Convention; cordially approved of the noininitton of Mr. Kerr, and of the resolutions adopted by the State Convention, and f heartily endorsed the same in each and every par ticular ; and expressed a decided prefer ence for Fillmore and Graham. 1 1 . The following resolution, as! well as the above, was unaninously adopted : Resotyd, That the Hon. W. P. kan gum in opposing the nomination of Mill ard; Fillmore by the Whig National Con vention, has shown a reckless disregard tb the will of the Whigs of North Carolina and this! faithless conduct in his behalf meets with our unqualified disapprobation.- ' I ! The Whig Convention. The Washing ton Correspodent of the N. Y. Commer cial writes to that paper as follows : j " Efforts were made as I learn, to cen sure Mr. Marigum n r tbe North Carolina Whig Convention,5 but entirely without effect." j I I j This statement has not the slightest foundation. No direct censure of Mr. Man gum's course was thought of or attempted by the Convention, because such a course of action would have been improper. But disapprobation of 1 Mr. Man gum's course was very strongly and generally expressed in private conversation, as well as, indirectly, by the unanimous adoption of the Resolutions nominating Mr. Fill more and insisting upon an unequivocal acknowledgement of the finality of the Compromise. i We dj not think there was one mem ber in the Convention who approved of Mr. Mangum's course. Fay. Observer. In the THE PRESIDENT. Senate, on Friday, Mr. Pratt ad verted to a; rumor that Mr. Fillmore, while the presiding officer of that body, aware of the possibility that the casting vote on the Compromise measures might be thrown upon him, had determined to vote against them; and that he bad, moreover, pre pared a paper in advance, giving bis rea sons for ihe vote which he might be called upori to give. Mr. Pratt, on the authori ty of the President.contradicled this rumor as totally unfounded, and said Chat the President was during the whole period in which the measures were discussed, in fa vor of them, and would have Voted for them to secure their passage. ! r eessary ineans. hat plan vide a suitable box at the election days of the present year, and to have inscribed upon it, in printed or paint ed letters, I u Washington Monument Box and immediately underneath, the follow Inglineppealing as it were to the heart of the very voter i !

The appeal of theVashingtoh Monument Association to thj American People will jfind a hearty response in the bosom of ev lery loveriof his country. It surely arises from the subject not being duly consider ed bythe people tfiat funds are so greatly j needed for a purpose so nobje. ! We trust that ihe plan we have pro- Dosed to raise thenecessary funds to con- tinue the fllonumernt win tncei wuu gen eral approbation 3n the city, throughout the State, and. i possible, extend itself over the United States, u. wiu oe seen in another place that the first box will be at the polls in tbf municipal election on Monday next.

A Few Specimens of u Polite and Courte ous Deportment. j We have on hand a report of speeches in the locofoco Convention. We may publish it in our next.
