They were sent there ior ibis very purpose, and we say it with all due deference it is their duly to settle this question that is now agitating the Union to the een. re.

This exempUry, peace-loving, and tacilurn Representative from the Granville District, we are inned, obtained the floor, on Friday last; and we are 'Iherefore mi the qui eicc for a "small talk,' which hodelivcreJ this week. In the txantime, i a correspondent of the Republic gives us some ink ViK'S of his carryings-on, thus : : "Even f.ithet Abraham, ns he is familiarly known and called in the good old North State, a fler he had solemnly sworn upon bis almanac before leaving bnmn lhat Frce-Snilism should find no quarter at his hands, but, on Ihe contrary, he would light against it, in all its moods and tenses, could not resist the tempting opportunity of administer ing to old Zack the bitterest of bitter pills, in the shape of placing W.m. J. Biiows in the Speaker's chair, although he was a Free-Soiler of the deepest dye ; and. accordingly, voted for him, Poor lather Abraham ! It was a cruel shock to him, When a foy of the aces were pulled out of Ginntscs's boots. He has recovered, however. A spectator in the lobby even can at a single glance discover it. He may be seen at any time when the House is in session, walking to and fro in front of the Speaker's chair restless as a bear with a sore head, nourishing a walking cane, aud for all the world looking as if he were a conservator of the peace. His smiling countenance belrays that, if at war with Free-soilism, he is in perfect good hu mor with himself though occasionally, when the fact comes home to him that he is packing on his shoulders all the wrongs and ills of the South, lines of deep suffering cross his brow. ' But father Abraham is not without rivals for the part of leader to Bittei-endism. The Hon. Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, the cbivalric llAYU'of the Aecomac dislrict, lays in a rival claim to that distinction. His position gives him an nrdue influence over father Abraham, for he can criph the Administration by.-' withhol ding the sinews of war. And then, too, he has an intelligent boy with pencil and string, measuring ii'ih unerring accuracy, and noting down most Carefully, all the twists and crooks in old Zack's policy. There are other rfrals, too. The polish ed Chairman of the Committee of Commerce is to poke at him a sugar-coated pill ; while the Chair man of the Committee on Public Lands is going to administer nothing short of Wake Robin. He has made a wonderful discovery. It is this: one of General Taylor's appointees, though only in office fire month), has, by his incapacity and neglect, got the business of his office two years behindhand. So much for Bitter-endisin at the present. : "BIBLICAL RECORDER" This valuable Religious paper comes to us en larged and in a new dress, presenting a very hand some appearance. We wish its talented and en terprising Editor tho most abundant success, and commend it to the liberal patronageof the religious community. , , . " TmTcOMMUNICATOR." We learn from the publisher of this paper, at Fayetteville, that he will shortly resume its regu lar issues. A number of influential men in sever al of the Counties have taken an active interest in the paper, and the Cape Fear and Union Baptist Associations have resolved to sustain it. The priceof subscription will be $1.00 per annum. We have always wished this paper success.

Saunders has consented lo address j the people of Franklin County on the subject of : Internal Improvements, on Tuesday of the ensuing March Court in that County Franklin Coustv, February Oth, 1850. Dear Sir : .Much interest has been created in this St ile, and much has been said lately upon the 'subject of improving her internal condition. Pub lic sentiment sreme to be uninformed, and there f.ire unfixed in this County, for the want of proper lights upon the subject. Vour laudable zeal has stimulated you to great research in this matter; and your information, and views thereon, will en able us and our follow citizens of Franklin Coun ty, to come to better conclusions upon the subject. Under these considers lions we invite you, to de liver an address on the subject, at Lonisburg, on Tuesday of March Court. "Vour complianco will confer a singular favoi upon, Dear Sir, Your humble servants, JOHN D. HAH KINS, PHIL. B. HAWKINS, 11. II. HIlMIT, FENNER '('HARRINGTON, ALLEN C. PERRY, WM. F. HILL1ARD, EDWARD T. FOWLKES, W. 11. JOYNER, . Hon. R. M. Saunders. " Ralei in, Feb. 18, 1850. Gentlemen: I have duly received your note of the 9lh instant, inviting me lo deliver an address at Lonisburg. on Tuesday of your March Court, " upon the subject of improving the internal condi tion of the State." Although I fear yon attach too much weight to mv recent efforts, from the flat tering terms in which you are pleased to express 1 yourselves, still 1 have the cause too much al heart, and have received too many tokens of con fidence and favor at the hands of my fellow-citizens of Franklin, to refuse any call they may see proper lo make upon me. I therefore very willing ly accept of your invitation. I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, &c. R. M. SAUNDERS. To Jxq. D. Hawkins, Esq., and others. We learn that a like invitation has been given to Gen. Saunders by the people of Warren, to ad dress them at their next County Court, but as that occurs the same week of the Convention at Hills borough, he cannot be present ; but he will accept an invitation for Warren the Tuesday after the one in Franklin, as, above, or for their Superior Court in April. ; THE PRESENT CRISIS. It is a source of pleasure to us to meditate upon the dories of our naaLliistorv. it is no lessa source of sadness and mortification to witness the unhap- py contrast which is presented in the disturbances which are now agitating the country. If we havo attained to the stature of manhood, we have, in our transition through the intermediate stages of our existence, contracted evil fancies and habits winch too often obliterate the generous dispositions and impulses of early years. The ties which bound us together in our youth have been assailed and enfeebled by mischievous excitements and ir ritations, which have unfortunately been permitted to inflame the public mind. Excitements and irri tations of the character of those to which we al lude, are destructive of the social fabric ruiuous to the body politic offensive in every aspect in which we can view them, and subversive alike of national and individual interests. We know of no greater curse that can befal a people than the curse of civil disseasions. This curse is now in the land, and is daily producing its bitter fruits. Unless H shall be speedily removed by some propitiating pro cess, the strong pillars of the Union will be thrown down, and the msgnificient structure of Liberty which they support will be dashed into atoms. Considering the present condition of our domestic relations ai dangerous and alarming, we raise our humble voice in behalf of the immediate adoption by the National Legislature of such measures as will SAVE THE REPUBLIC. Let the mad and maddening topic of discussion, which has convert ed each hall of Congress into an. arcni of fierce, sectional contention, be, by any practical method, banished thence. It has no business there, in any form. But if it cannot be excluded, let the various questions which have grown out of it be all adjust ed in a spirit ol mutual and tqual kindness and concession. By this course, the public mind would be relieved from the painful disquietudes and ap prehensions which burden it, and all would be well, We are ardent and sincere lovers of the Union, and therefore, would rejoice to see its in ternal peace restored by a fair and honorable ar rangement of ail the differences which are prevail ing amongst us. We are for sustaining the Fed eral Constitution, at it is , and as it was designed tobebt) those who made it. We are for an equal participation in all Its benefits by every Stale, North, South, East and West ; and by every citi zen, without regard to 'ectiouul, suggestions. It was not made for one State, but fur as many as might, in the most distant future, compose the Union. It contains not 4 syllabic In all its clauses which indicates a greater leaning to tho interest of one than another. There in nothing in it like invidious distinction! ; nothing whatever that Is in eoinrwtibte wilh the -'general welfare" Of both Stales and citizens. Our noble institutions have flourished rapidly under its auspices. Through its agency our cities have been built up our trade in creased our agricultural and mechanical produc tions multiplied to an astonishing extent ; and be sides all these blessings which we havo derived from it, our national reputation has been establish ed abroad, every where, upon a solid basis. We need only wisdom and prudence in the manage ment of our affairs at home to secure to us the full est measure of prosperity, And now, after all we have said, we express the belief that if this Union shall be dissolved, the consequences will not be confined to ourselves, though, if thus limited, they would be unspeakably appalling; but they would be such as to rivet the chains of despotism over the whole earth. We believe that an event so calam itous to our own borders would be a fatal blow to free institutions every whore, and that it would be a total and overwhelming refutation, in all time to come, of that proud republican maxim of which our fathers boasted that the people are capable of srlf goiernment. Let this great political assumption be disproved by the failure of the people ol the Uni ted States in the experiment which they are con. ducting to lest its truth, and there would be a fes tival of monarchs at which they would be almost delirious with the exstacies that would swell their bosoms ! There would lie a dance of despots ov;r the grave of human rights which we, the guilty be trayers of these rights, would dig by our Disunion ! , ' ' - ' ; , ; Pel. Intel. WHIG MEETING IX WAKE. Al a large and respectable meeting of the Whigs of Wake County, at the City Hall in the City of Raleigh, on Wednesday afternoon, the 20'h in stant, on motion of Maj.
