THE RALEIGH TIMES. a a 1!1 RALEIGH, N. C. irtaii .flloniiug, 2Cotcmb' 13, 1350. VENABLE AND MILLER. A correspondent, under date of "Oxford, Not, 9," gives llie following account of the mauling in lliul place on Tuesday, Nov. 6th : "On tho afiernoon of Tuesday last, large num hoi of the ciizens of Granville being in Oxford, In attendance on the County Court, the Hon. A. W. Vesable addressed them in a speech about two hours in length, upon the measures of the Compromise passed at the last session of Congress and was replied to by II. W. Millkb, Esq. of your city. We would be glad, had we the time and you the space, to give a fair and correct re port of the substance of this discusiofi. These are excittd times ; and the minds ofthoso whose positions give them influence, should be defined and clearly understood. "Mr. Venable made lend protestations of his love for the constitution and the Union ; spoke of old associations ; of common blood spilled from Saratoga to Yorlttown of the glories, power and splendor that have hitherto chafactefised the Union, &c. &c. These are the veils under which he con ceals his real purpose, that of tgilal'mg and dis satisfying the public mind. We wish that he could be unmasked to the State, as he was oft this occasion to the people of Granville. It will be done for Mf. Miller's speech will be published and read by thousands. "This," say Mr. Tenable, "is glorious mar riage Union ;" (a common figure with him ;) and yet he believes that we live together-, to use his classic language, "as dogs and. cat?)" arid under such circumstances, Fays he, ''had not man and wife better be parted I" Aye, parted! divorced! Here his secret Is out. The marriage union dis solved! What a desecration of this holy estate! We design not to follow Mr. Venable we have not his loquacity, neither does our pen move upon the voluble hinges of his tongue. It is enough to ay that the tendency, and we believe the object, of his speech, was to male us dissatisfied with the healing measures of the last session cf Con gress, ami with this Union-, lie denounced the California bill ) spoke violently of the Texas bill; drew a disgraceful picture of Congress in conection- therewith; spoke of the influence of lobby Texan bond-holders on Congress, &c. tc. ; denounced the bill for abolishing the slave trade in the District ef Columbia ; said he did not vote for the Utah bill ; would have done so, but was absent to seea atek friend ; (we believe he is called Doc tor n Washington.) He thinks the Fugitive slave (nil will avail nothing ; expressed his belief that it will be repealed at the next session, Sic fee. At this crisis, said he, party should be thrown a aide ; we should be united. ' High and holy inter ests are at stake; they are above party. Aye, ehott parly I then high- above Mr. Venable's comprehension ( "The Ethiopian cannot change his skin, nor the Leopard'liis spots !" neither1 can some men put aWay old habits. This Lion skin of "Patriotism above party" is too small te cover the old animal ,tlt has brayed in the garb of l-ocofocoisnr and Demagoguism until they have become his nature. Mr. Venable is as true to his old Calling ts the dog to his vomit, or the sow to her mire ; is fond of abusing Mr. Clay, and denouncing the present Administration and all who agree with it. We turn from this speech, wh'ch made our soul sick, to one moft congenial with our heart. ; ; "Fortunately for the cause of the Union, flWfe iwas one in our midst who could soar as far above Vlie contracted party demagoguism of Mr. Vena' jble, ae tfa eag'e above lfie bat of the owl one hvhose expanded heart and capacious intellect J-oulJ take in the' patriotic of all parties ; of all tortious one who could rise as far above oartv lis patriotism is above demagoguism whorodd unite in Ms praises, the names of Cass and Clay ; af Webster and Dickinson ; the good and patriotic if all parties who knows no North or South, East or West. "Mr, Millof' speech waf a Complete defence f the Compromise measures, and a perfect demo tion of Mr. t enable. Whether viewed as an rgutnent, forcible and logical; or as apiece of loqnencej wc have seldom seen it equalled: it Was a mast. if mece. Ilia afetrmttit on the Cali ornia bill was conclusive ; that on the Texas wundary was equally so. He alluded, in terms of ust rebuke, to Mr. VenaMe's insinuations of cof- nption in Congress. Has it come to this, that n American Congress, (of which Mr. Venable is member,) representing a frfe people, can be engirt up purchased fur ten millions of dollars? mposslblnt '''.'' . . 'He defended the bill for the abolition of the lave trade in- the District of Columbia. t was passed in a spirit of compromise ; John 'andolph had recommended it as a measure veil calculated to keepr down abolition agitation ud excitement, by keeping slavery, in its most dlous form, thai of the trade, eut of the view of ie Northern public. There was no ol.jectioil to ht Utah bill. 'Mr. Miller expressed his belief that the frrgH K slaro law would be executed in good faith.- is did not believe that the next session of Congress ttuld tepeal it but if it should be repealed, he ! wild be found as firm as Mr, Venable in the de ur of our iiisliiuiiiins. He was not iu the hub- ufboastlng. "Mr. M. alluded, in scathing sarcasm, to Mr. euable'a denunciations of Mr. Clay, He passed high and well-merited culngium upon that ga I'-jlvM SUK'onun.

"Mr. Venable had denounced the present ad ministration as Freesoil and abolition. Mr. Mil let pronounced this a vile slander, come from what source it might. He went into a long and com plete defence of the cabinet ; in which he refuted every charge, and showdd up the slander to per fection. He passed a ehlngy upon Guy. Graham, which met with a respoli6e from the heart of every man who knew him. William A. Graiiam asso ciated with Fcecsoilersand Abolitionists ! We all knew Gov. Graham we all knew the charge to befdise! Tell Kentucky that John J. Crittenden is an abolitionist ! her gallant sons would scorn you hiss you!

Daniel Webster, more abused, perhaps, than any other man in the North .'of his defence of the constitution and of the Union, he an abolitionist I If Corwinand Hall be suspected, there is leaved enough to leaven the whole lump. Fillmore's hi'h and patriotic declarations will an swer for him ; the abuse of Giddings.of Root of Durkce.as well as of Venable, will answer for him. The Charge was false a vile slander ! "Mr. Miller alluded, in burning language; to a Southera confederacy leagued in alliance with I England, This paft of his speech We have never seen or hyeard equalled. Hii eloquent sentences were greeted with heafty applause. "Shall we be so basf: as voluntarily to put on the shackles which our Liberty-loving ancestors threw off? Shall the pure Goddess of Liberty, iier golden locks di shevelled, and her garments spotted with treason, lie down in the lecherous embrace of a cloven looted satyr ? Shall owr eagle be hawked from his pride of place, and despoiled of his plumage, lo deck the mane of the British Lion ?" "Mr. Miller throughout recommended a hearty obedience to the laws. We believe that every sentence met the) approbation of three-fourths of thoe present. He concluded amidst loud ap plause,and the Constitution and Union may be proud of such a defender. ; "Mr. Venable replied in a short speech to Mr Miller 5 stated several times, with great triumph, "for the information of the audience," that he was visiting a sick friend, and bad paired off, when the vote was taken on the Utah bill ; denied having ever heard of the Southern alliance with England; and said it was news to hiiA. We were astonish ed to hear this. He certainty does not psy good attention to what falls from hisr brother agitators. wr. venauie-s reply waj full ol thunder vox, nihil prteterea. We heard a by-stander compare him to "a rani tied to a gate poet with a strong string" not a classic, but a trite comparison for he effected nothing. Loud Words and mighty gestures rant nothing mote' We have also been furnishdd with the following Correspondence by which it will be seen that Mr. Miller has consented to furnish his remarks for publication. We hope, therefore, to have the pleas ure or presenting them in our next. All the accounts' we have received of this dis cussion from onr letters, and from conversations with those who were present, concur in pronounc ing the discomfiture of the redoubtable Abraham as signal and complete; and, on the other hand the success of Miller as most perfect and triumph ant, winning new laurels to his already matchless iameas a political ueuater. Oxronrr, Nov. C, 1850. To Heurt VV. Miller, Esq.

We desire to diffct the attention of our readers lo the advertisement of Dr. Edward Speed, of Gi'auvilie, headed "Female Boarding School." We have the pleasure of acquaintance with him; and we know him to be gentlemen of stand ingand clmrcer, deservedly receiving the confi dence Of Ike community. His School has now been in operation four years, with increasing pat ronage ; and he has spared no efforts to maintain its high character1, and to fender it worthy of sup port from all who may be desirous of placing their daughters in an institution where not only is the educational, training of a high order, but where parental careand guidance are kindly and uniform ly exerted. It will be observed that the Daughter of Dr. Speed is the Principal Instructress of the School a greduateof Greensboro' Pemtile College. Hef education waa commenced, and has been car ried on with reference to a thorough preparation for teaching ) and we confidently expect that she will add greatly to the reputation of this excellent School. Parents in the low country, cannot do better than to send their daughters lo such an institution, located as this is, in the most healthy tegion of the Slate; The Hillsborogh Recorder says that the state ment of the appointment ol Hugh Waddell, Esq. from the fact that his" friends intended to prose nt his name for the appointment Fayettecille Observer. The statement made in the Raleigh Times is correct. The appointment has been tendered to Mr. Waddell, and he has signified his willing ness to accejil. ID The Legislature of the State meets next week ; and the great men are assembling as our paper goes to press. It is our design fo keep a lull and correct record, not only of thoir proceed ings in other respects, but of their sayings. The session is important fornany reasons deeply im portant. A system of State improvements has been commenced in the authorization of a Groat work, the successful completion of which will tend greatly to ouf future prosperity its failure, we buheve will be utter ruin. If a liberal spirit pre vail in the Legislature if its members will look to the interest and advancement of the State more than to sectional interest, then may we hope to see the results of their action conducive to fos. tering am building up our State, instead of de siroyint the policy already projected and in pro cess of carrying out. But weown we feardema goguism very much, in this Legislature. The cry of "State debt !" " taxes, taxes !" wi II be rung upon the ears of its members a cry, Which, if li tened to, will paralyze effort, and destroy all hope of afty speedy prosperity for North Carolina. Grf at works of great benefit, are wonhy of cost and he who wishes a market at his door, must con tribute his share to pay for it. It is a contracted policy which is contented with holding oaf own we must progress, or be outstripped in the race of prosperity and greatness by every competitor. Something must be June for ftorttt Carolina.-' Let our Legislators know this truth, and act upon it in a spirit of enlightened patriotism. NEW YORK. It gives us no pleasure to re' cord the election of Washington Hunt, as Cover nor of NewYork, by about 1000 majority. We pre- fered that the disgrace of a triumph for State offi cers tliere should rest erf the Lscofoco party, as is the case in the Congressional election, Out of the sixteen Democrats just elected to Congress, 10 of them are Free Soilers. Eighteen Whigs are be' lieved to be elected, We are rather disposed to damn the whole concern, Whig, Locofoco and all and shall trouble our readers no further with it. . THE PEPFER HOUSE. The lovers of good eating1 sro referred to the advertisement of W, R. Pepper, in' our columns to-day. It will be seen that he is on hand ; and that the Railroad cars afe hereafter to run for his accommodation, as welt as for that of the Public, and bring him the choicest of Oysters, Fish, Game, &c. by evefy Train. And it takes Pepper lo serve them tip, in the finest style, in the elegant rooms of his Establishment ; trie handsomest, as well as most convenient for the business we have ever seen in this City. We clifeerfully commend him to the public Patronage ; as we are Certain thai rio one who has onco sat down to his well furnished table, or pitched into one of his matchless seal lopi will ever leave the City without visiting him again and agartt.

The whiie ratifica tion meeting at Albany appears to have been a regular abolition affair, the main objectof which was to denounce the Merchants' Meeting at Cas tle garden; and the fugitive Slave law. The tele graphic announcement that they had resolved to sustain the fugitive slave law is incorrect.

Davis is believed to be elected in the sixth district. In the seventh district it is doubtful. Grovish probably elected. In the eighth district Horace Mann, Free Soiler, is chosen by 500 over all others. The ninth district is very close. O. Fowler, free soiler, supposed to be elected. ; No returns yet received from the tenth district State Senate. There have been 21 coalition Senators elected, which is a majority of that body.

WhiUt the Washington Union; and others are compluininj that the Presi dent is not prompt enough in calling out ihe power of the Geflefal Government to enforce the execu tion of the fugitive slave law in Boiston, the Charles ton Courier objects that he is premature In taking any step until the people of Boston, the city au thorities, arid the Stale of Massachusetts, had suc cessively been called 011, and had exerted their pow ers in vain. It is certainly far better, when practicable, thst the laws should be enforced by the local author ities and we. presume that, until the President is officially informed that that cannot be done, lie will not move, and would not be justifiable in mov ing.

The President is bbund to act deliberately and npon official information, and this we presume President Fillmore will do. Fay. Out, Violent Measures. From private sources we learn that some bullying and bravado took place at the Union' meeting at Columbus, on Saturday even ing last, and that one individual had the temerity to draw a pistol and level it at the head of the Hon.

It is stated by our Boston correspondent that Crafts and Ma wife have sailed for England. The newspapers inform us that (hero has been no difficulty in the way of executing the law. Pub lic meetings of the citizens, in large numbers, ex press the determination and the ability to enforce the law. There seems to have been no reason why the law should not have been executed ; and yet (he warrants in tho marshal's office were not served, and we hear of no attempt having been made to Serve lhem, arrd the fugitives have escap ed to England. if may wefl be that two persons who managed to' escape from a plantation in Georgia, and pass unarrested throngh'the intervening slave till they reached the free States, were able to elude f he vigilance of tho marshal, and to effect their es cape in his despite. But the public have a fight to expect some more satisfactory account than has yet appeared of the reasons which have prevented the execution of the procees, and which have caused the seeming neglect 6f bis duty by the marshal of the district. If we can place any reliance on the most relia ble journals of Boston, there is a determination on the part ot her citizens to uphold the execution of the laws. In our judgment, the marshal owes it to the city 16 which he belongs to explainthe caus es, which will doubtless be eatisfacfofy, (hat have prevented him from the discharge of his duty be fore the final escape of the fugitives.
