It being some time since 1 retired from public life, I am sensible that i shall be found rusty in the Rules of Pro ceeding; aiI(l wjj therefore in ad vance invite correction from my friends in the Convention, which I shall always thankfully receive. 1 would respectfully, though ear nestly, press upon the attention of every member of the Convention, the necessity of mutual forbear-! ance and g00(l temper in the pro-! tu uuou oi me business committed to this body by our constituents, who have selected ns to act not only on their behalf, but for the benefit of posterity; and I pray that each one of us, with an eye single to the welfare of our com mon country, may cordially unite in such measures as will redound to the glory and happiness of orih Carolina.

Wilson A North Carolina Grazer." A I'ev. Mr. Hunt, who it seems has been sojourning among the good people of the South, and like brother Parker id' New Orleans, seeing things 'as through a glass, dimly,' recently stated before a New York congregation, that 'he once saw forty members of the Legislature ol North Carolina, linked arm in arm, each of them so drunk, that if one should have let go, all would have fallen down!!!' ' Remark. We cut the above i from a Boston paper for the pur pose of proclaiming it a base and scandalous falsehood. This is not the first time that the charac ter of North Carolina has been as sailed by This Rev. Slanderer, and we presume his motives can be as certained. Will some of our edi torial brethren in the State, who know this man, inform us of his character? Newbcm Spectator. Tongu e-ol ogy. A m on g the other new phenomena of this Jer emy Rentham, utilitarian age we live in, (says the N. Y. Star,) a Rev. Mr. Free-man is lecturing lo the Lowell girls on the dan gers which beset the free use of the tongue the tongue and its uses, &ic. The Lowell Journal comments in his accustomed face tious and witty manner on a new species of tongue not described by the reverend gentleman: "One of the most curious in the list, would be the tongue that is hung in the middle. Nothing is more common than this variety, although philosophers have in vain endeavored to account for so singular a phenomenon. !t is supposed that the manner in which it is arranged involves the so In ig sought principle of perpetual mo tion. We cannot but exhort the great and the good of this great and good age, to keep an eye on :lus subject. There is no know ing hat may happen. The tongue diat is hung in the middle his oeen said, by some ignorant and inphdusophical persons, to be Jonnd only in the female sex. This is a mistake." HI weeds grow apace. There are 100 anti-slavery societies, it is affirmed, now existing in this country; and at a late meeting of these abolitionists, which took place in this city, $15,000 were subscribed towards carrying into execution their dangerous doc trines. The number of members is computed at 75.000. The Co lonization Society, at its late meeting, procured only $6,000. New York Star. a?"W. G.

Xf" A most painful event occur red last Monday at the Military Academy at West Point. Two of the cadets were amusing them selves at fencing, when, in the heat of play, the foil of one was thrust into the eye' of the other, and penetrating to the brain, in flicted a wound, of which the un fortunate cadet (a son of Captain Carter, of Virginia) died in a few hours. The anguish of mind ex perienced by the survivor is. ve understand, so intense, that the liveliest apprehensions are enter tained that grief will wholly over throw his reason. The two ca dets were intimate friends, and were practising at their foils for mere sport, before a number of their companions. The class mates of the deceased entered into a subscription to erect a suitable monument to the memory of their ill-fated associate. Nat. Int. (QAmong the obituary noti ces ol" svomc of the Southern pa pers we find the following: 'Dieti, in Madison county, Tenneee, Moses Uoheson, Sen. and Mary his wife, the former aged tiS years, 6 months and 20 days the latlcr aed GS years, lacking 3 tLys. It is a singular ... e provulfuce that these old people were raised in the same neighbor hood, went to the same school, lived together as husband and wile 47 years and fifteen days, raised a huge family of children, were baptUed the same day, were taken sick about the same time. died the same day, within 12 bouts ot each other, and were in terred in the same grave." tJJA wretch named Kelley, a resident of Louisville, Ky. a short time since administered poison to a whole family of free negroes, in order to possess himself of their money. He has since been tried and convicted. Emigration in the right quar ter. The tide of emigration has at last taken the right tuin an extended to the tender sex. h known that the predominance the female over the male sex Massachusetts is astonishing great. In many towns tho nm portion is two lo one, and in the whole State the excess is more than fourteen thousand. The sphere of woman's usefulness, ol coutse must be much circumscri bed here, whereas at the West, whither our young and energetic male population is going, in every department of female industry, -he cm become eminently useful. Teachers are needed in schools; domestic companions ate wanted by the young men, and more fe male industry is in urgent demand at the West. We are pleased to learn, that a company of indusiri ous, energetic, capable and intelli- gnt young women are about lo -dart from this town for the great West. Thy go out under the protection of a genth man, and we are sure they will be welcomed with as much, joy there, as was the cargo of young women bro't to our shores in the eaily seitlo mpftt of this country. A wide field of usefulness and industry and means of doing great good is. spread out before them, and altho we don't like to have them indul ged in man' visionary specula lions, yet for six-pemv a piece, we would ensure lhm husbands. Northampton (Mats.) Cuur. . (CP Mr. Henry Vose, of Mis issippi, has written a verv cuiis ous article for the National Intel ligencer, under the head ot "Choc- avv analogies," at the conclusion of which he says: "There is a Choctaw tradition, worthy of credit, or none is, of a remarkably long night, which must have occurred at the Strain of Rehr ing at the lime of the long day of Joshua, in Judea. They then migrated from Asia 3266 years ago." This testimony may now be atlded to that of Herodotus, who relates that the record of such an event was extant in Egypt when he visited it, as having happened at a period cotemporaty with i hat related in the scriptures. Th Chinese also note the occurrence ol this phenomenon in their histo ries at a4)out Ihe same time; and the ilory of Photon, among tho Greeks and Romans, corroborates the veracity of the sacred writers. Here is a cumulation of evidence upon this single fact, which, when we consider the utter impossibili ty of collusion between the wii ters, is, indeed, most remarkable and mofct conclusive. The Asiatic origin of the aho. rigines of this country, cannot be doubted. The antiquary is daily developing new pi oofs of the fact in their remains of art, in Iheir traditions, customs, ceremonies, language and superstitions. Norwalk Gaz. Novel - Spectacle.
