The people were flocking in from different parts of the town, and county,- and the sight really was cheering to every one capable of feeling. ; We were shaking hands, congratulating each other on our success, and ! speaking words of comfort to the disconsolate friends of the Doctor.' They expressed their satisfaction that they were beat en by so clever a fellow, so amiable a gentleman as Mr. Pettigrew. : ' . ' ' As Mr. Pettigrew approached, with the committee previously appointed to watt on him and inform him of the wish of his fellow-citizens to escort him to his' lodgings, the large company had formed two lines, one on eacn side of the street, and when; he came within about twenty yards, the music 1 began to the tune of " Yankee Doodle." Mr. Pettigrew took off his hat, as he passed through the lines, and as he grace fully bowed jto their salatations, his amiable features, bis dignifiejd, step, his happy countenance, and intelli gent face beaming with the delight that all around felt with himself, the people joined simultaneously, in One long loud Universal shout at the success of the man of the people's choice- It was indeed a sight that monarchs'might envy, and a sight that will never bless thdeye of any candidate of caucus office holders It was the free, the unbought, and unsought offering, to a man, whom his fellow-citizens delight to honor It was indeed a soul-enlivening, a heart-cheering scene. Every man felt that the Star of bis Country's prosperity seemed to be in the ascendant ; every pa t riot's heart was filled with hope,; that old things bad passed away,' and that North-Caroiina was Waking tip. -Now and then the living mass as they marched to, Mr. P's. lodgings, would shout in I triumph, and then the enlivening roar of cannon was heard over the glad waters of the Tar, and seemed breaking a way the spell that had so. long bound lis, dissipating the clouds which had so long been hanging over us. It is a great and. glorious triumph to thereemen of our; district, a triumph of the people of the district over the regency of thestrict, of the people's can didate over the favourite of the set! at W. City. -i - , ' . 1 . . . . , - Every shout seemed. to say, we cannot submit that R. M.'JohnsonLor Van Buren should rule over us -the candidafes of the Baltimore Caucus and Steam DociorJtucker. Ve will never consent that any. i our country should nominate his successor. It was a scene long to be remembered; long may met with from the people of Beaufort. : As the pro cession passed through the! street, the ladies waved their handkerchiefs ; for even they participated in our joy. At night we had a splendid bonfire, and it whs long after night had thrown her shade over the earth, before the noise had .subsided. -But he, de serves to be honored : he consented at our solicita tion to leave the blandishments of homey to make many .sacrifices at our request, without hoping or expecting any individual profit.' Like Washington he left his plough at the call of his Country ; and eve ry acquaintance of Mr. Pettigrew will join in saying. like Washington, the better he is known, the more he is appreciated. 1; ! ! . " As to Dr. Hall, his friends give him'credit for ma ny virtues. We hope he possesses them ; and though in the present instance we cannot say, a " v ; ' Let others hail the rising sun, (x I bow to him whose cburse is run ;" yet still We wish the Doctor peace and happiness, a quiet .life is more becoming one wearied with the iorms of state, than-the halls of Congress. We fear his political greatness bears no more traces, than our bonfire, it has blazed, made much smoke, and pas sed a i ay, leaving not a - rack behind.' But peace and prosperity to the Doctor, much happiness to him in the shades of retirement. E3" Erf at ui.

': -- ": :'- !i -' - O We lay before our. readers to day, the proceed iugs and debate of the Southern Meeting recently held at Ne w York, in reference to the conduct of the Abolitionists. Their avowed determination, it is said, i , i if ------ is to effect an immediate and unconditional abolition of slavery in the United States. Meetings have been held by them, and resolutions adopted, avowing their money with the A large number determination to raise large sums of view accomplishing their object. of. books and periodicals on the subject of slavery, has been published by them and offered for sale. Thousands of pamphlets, papers, and other incendia- cy publications, are clrculating'in varipus parts of the, slave-holding States, and they are dropped about the roads, with the design doubtless of disseminating their detestable doctrines among the slaves thereby treating fa tbem a spirit of discontent, and ultimately leading tbem to insurrections. We believe from the signs of the times from what we daily see in the 'pers of the movements of these fanatics, that it it time the South should be on the alert. Let not the I .eople - in 4he slave-holding Slates cry" peace, .-ace, when there is no peace' i Be ready for com .ng events the enemy is near he is lurking in se crret places. We art slumbering on a Volcano.' 1 Death of William.

' V ( 4 ' Firom the Richmond Whigi ' I THE NORTHERN FANATICS. Step by Step, the misguided and miserable Fanatics of the North are approaching our institutionsrSCarce numbering a handful two years ago, they now em brace thousands. Resembling the little rivulet, whose course at first, mieht have been checked by a slight obstruction, they have now swollen into an immense stream, threatening every thing which impedes its progress,1 with destruction. Their standard has been raised in thirteen states, and according to the state ment of the a?ents. multitudes are flock in?- to it. Even in Kentucky, they have unfurled their banner, and commenced orutaae- as a Iso i in Uhio. f rom the proximity of Ohio to the slave holding ,States, nTuch is to be dreaded. " j - It is jtrang-e-passine stranee that in America men should be found base enough to lend themselves to such i a cause. What do the Abolitionists promise themselves ? For my soul: I cannot imagine. It can not be possible that they entertain even a distant hope of abolishing slavery in the Southi That can never be done. We. of the South regret the necessity that compels us to keep a portion of the! human family in bondage ; but the evil is not of Our seeking it was entailed upon' us it is deep rooted' in our system- and it is better to bear with the evils we have, than to fly to those we know not of. Hundreds of the fan atics of the North petitioned the last Congress of the U. S. to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia. The next step wilt embrace the whole South, and it re? quires little foresight. to mark the. inevitable conse quences of such arsttp. Disunion will as inevitably follow as the day the night. No, the South will not cannot relinquish the right to their lawful proper- ty and knowing this fact--as know it they must what possible motive can Uarrison, lappan si Co Kavs f -if ? ; r irf -y - .--iii'i i.. slave worseby their mistimed seal. For rest assured if, through the instrumentality of these men, the slaves of the South should rebel, the whole race will be put to the sword. & : Messrs. Editors, these are alarming times, and de- mana oi we oouin, tmmcaiaie, energetic ana concert ed fiction. The fanatics are at our threshhold the torch is already lit. it shakes over 'the South with ter rific glare. The South should arise -itself and no longer trust to public opinion at the North. Shall the South remain inanimate until the hand of the slave is imbued in the blood of his master ? - Until the knife is applied to the throats of their' tender off-. spring? until the fair and sunny. clime is made the theatre ot Dutcnery ruthless butchery I IVo. Now is the time for action. Let the South arouse itself as one man. and say., thus far shaltj thou go, and ua farther. ' (, A SOUTHRON. T' O A meeting at Henrico county, Va., was held at Richmond on the 24th ult., " to take into considera tion the late efforts of the Northern Abolitionists, to interfere with the domestic concerns of the Southern People,' a guarantied to them by the Constitution of the U. States" when a Committee of thirteen was appointed.fo consider and report to a future meeting to be held on the 4th ot August,, what measures it may be proper then to adopt, in regard to the objects ot this meeting. jv. . r. JHav. Jour From the N. Y. Evening Star. Talk of the slavery of the South ! Would that our free negroes were half as well off as comfortably clothed and fed as well taken care of, and provided for in sickness and calamity. It is the name of slave ry, not the reality. Here we have slavery, whites and blacks there, is Liberty under .tho name of slave ry. A field negro has bis cottage, his wife and chil dren, his easy task, nis little patch of xorn and pota toes, bis garden and fruity which are fair revenue and property. The liouse servant has handsome cloth- ing,, nis luxurious menu, uis nuraiuea r privileges, a - t ' . i ; . i .

Nor have we much - .opinion of borrowing: for a tax ' would have to be laid lo,pay the interest even if it could be borrowed. Bat there is a way in which it, could be raised without taxing, banking or borrowing, and nothing but the perverse and stub born temper of the Hero, noodwioxea anp twisted by Martin Van Buren. could have prevented onr State from having a fund of nearthree hundred thousand dol lars a year to lay out in improvements for thesbenefit of the farming class. Congress did pass a law whereby the money praised by the sale of the. public land, which had been surrendered by the old States should be divided among the States in proportion to their numbers, but if was killed by the President.
