Does not Resign. ; :;;"T
1 The Hon. Wm. S. Ashe, tve see, although elected
President or the Wilmington & Raleigh Rail Road
Company, (an office which, in all probability, will
require hi3 closest care and attention) nevertheless,
will not resign his seal in Congress.
This double office arid double payi operation, we
suppose is in strict accordance with the resolu
tions of; '08, as well as in keeping with the Demo
cratic principles and practices of the present era.
The Political Revolution. '
Who would have supposed two years ago, tha
the Administration of Franklin Pierce, which came
into power almost with the unanimous consent of
the American people, would have met with such
disastrous, such overwhelming defeats as it has re
cently received on every hand? Who could have
foreseen such a thorough revulsion of public opin
ion? The results of the late elections arc astonish
ing, and overthrow all political calculations. We
see a triumphant party routed overwhelmed; State
after State repudiating the Administration it raised
to power ; anu a succession oi uemocrauc losses
justly the due of this weak amTimbecile regime
The political revolution is complete. ,
- We alluded to the immense losses sustained by
the Administration to show these in part, we copy

votes cast at' the elections held this year with those
cast at the Presidential election in 1852. For the1

The Sanders' Jollification. -
,It is to be hoped
that Mr. Soulc has had senscj
and discretion enough
to refuse the banquet which;
Mr. George Sanders in
S ended to give him in London
or Madrid; and which was'
prior to his departure
designed to be a sort of glorification over the late
emeute with the French Emperor. Such a demon
stration, while it would doubtless aid in accomplish
ing the purposes of Sanders, Kossuth, and the other
reckless agitators in the Metropolis, would but il
accord with the dignity of an American Minister
representing his country at a foreign Court. We
know well Mr. Soule's jfondness for notoriety, and
that it would be sweet incense to his gratified
pride to return to Madrid through Paris, something
after the fashion of a
believe that he would
conqueror ; but, we cannot
so lower his position by con
senting to participate in any show or parade hati
ever,
growing
out of
the recent transactions with
the Emperor of the French

Settlement of the Soule Trouble with France.
London, Nov. 3, 18548 P. M.
(Special dispatch to the New York Herald.) "
Don Piatt, Secretary pf the United States Lega
tion at Paris, has just cqme over with despatches
tor Mr. Buchanan in relation to the discourtesy of
the trench government to the American Minister to
Spain. Louis Napoleon, on last Sunday, invited Mr.
Mason to a private interview at the Palace, In the
course of discussion, Mr. Mason took occasion, with
jicitu uiiunvo, w xs majesty unaersiana io ine
full the disastrous consequences of a war with Amer
ica, and that he had no doubt on his mind as to the
course which the American Minister to Paris should
pursue in the premises, j That he should at once,
without proper explanations' were given by the
French court, assume thb wbolc responsibility of the
consequences, and ask for his passports.i-'Louis Na-
oleon seemed as if just: awakening to the bearing
(TAinericanjaen and things upon Europcanimatters.
He repUed almosTrnlhlwords-f article in the
Constitutionnel, which you will have seen extensive
ly republished in the English journals. "
The excitement of the Americans in. Europe in re
gard to this affair had run so high as to affect the
prices of French Stocks.-; As the general impression
was that Louis Napoleon would! .not recede, the Lon
don operators, sold a large amount of French raite.
. The consequence" in Paris was the fall of stocks
nearly one per cent. As such a tendency was par.
cularly dangerous at this time, when the Emperor is
in wan i 01 money, ana tae news irom oeoasropoi SO
gloomy that the festivities at Compeigne are a se
cond time postponed, he had no time for hesitation
or dignity. ' -t - ' : .
- His note to Mr. Mason, breathing a stilt more de
precatory tone than the ConitituUonnel, was there
fore communicated io substance to the Paris Bourse,
some hours.before it was delivered formally to the
Legation, in order to stop the alarming decline of
funds. The note uithdravs all objection to Mr.
SouUs free passage through France; Louis Kapo
leon moreoter invite Mr. SouU to proceed through
the Empire on his way to Madrid. -r
It is certain that the whole influence of the Brit
ish Ministry Jhas been exerted, through Lord Clar
endon to produce the result that has been attained.
The French government did not anticipate so decid
ed a stand as that taken by Mr. Mason ; it thought
that he would refer the matter to the government
at Washington, which was considered too feeble to
do any thing.
It is understood that George Saunders gives a
dinner to Mr. Soulo previous to his departure, at
which ho will meet the French republicans Leira
Kolin, IjOuis Blanc, V icto Hugo, and others. On
his arrival at Pans, the American citizens there
will invite him to a national banquet.' Thence he
goes to Bayonne, and leaves for Spain in the United
States steamer San Jacinto.
It is said that Louis Napoleon has been so fully
convinced by the turn this affair has taken, of the
impolicy of attempting to put a bndie on the wild
Yankee nation, that he has resigned himself to a
perfectlj' amiable behavior, at least until Sevastopol
is really cn prtxe,
Memoir of Cornelius Harnett.
By Geiffitii J. McKkf. '
(CONTINITED.)
i M Ml W aw . r m r .
.April btn, 1 ibf Mr. iiarnett, attendee!, as a mem
ber, the Provincial Congress at Halifax. He was ap
pointed Chairman of the Committee to consider the
usurpations and violences committed by the Km
and Parliament of Britain. On the 12th, Mr. Har
nett made the following nervous report, written by
his own hand
"April 12th, 1776.
REPORT OX TI1E SUBJECT OF INDEPENDENCE..
It appears to your Committee, that, pursuant to
the plan concerted by the British Ministry for sub
jugating America, the King and Parliament of Great
Britain have usurped a power over the persons and
properties of the people unlimited and uncontrolled,
and, disregarding their humble petitions for peace,
liberty, and safety, have made divers legislative acts,
denouncing war, famine, and every species of calami
ty against the Continent in general. The British
fleets and armies have been, and still are, daily cm-
ployed in destroying the people; and committing the
most horrid devastations in the country. The Gov
ernors in different Colonies have declared protection
to slaves, who should imbue their hands in the blood
of their masters. The ships belonging to America
are declared prizes of war, and many of them have
been violently seized and confiscated. In consequence
of all which, multitudes of the people have been des
stroyed, or from easy circumstances reduced to the
most lamentable distress.
And whereas, the moderation hitherto manifested
by the United Colonies, anHheirsincerc desire to
be reconciled to the Mother Country on Constitu
tional principles, have procured no mitigation of the
aforesaid wrongs and usurpations, and no hope re
mains of obtaining redress by those means alone
which have been hitherto tried, your Committee
are of opinion, that the House should enter into the
following Kesolve, to wit :
Resolved, That the Delegates for this Colony in the
Continental Congress be empowered to concur with the
Delegates of the other Colonies m declaring Independ
ence, and forming foreign alliances, reserving to this
Colony the sole and exclusive right, of forming a Consti
tution and Laws for this Colony, and of appointing Dele
gates from time to time (under the direction of a general
representation thereof) to meet the Delegates of the other
Colonies, for such purpose as shall be hereafter pointed
out."
Verily these were bold words, and bodly uttered
by the member from Wilmington ! The fingers that
record them tingle with their electric fire, and the
heart bounds with admiration at their daring. There
was no waiting then for the word from the Conti
nental Congress" as there is in these degenerate days
for the cue from the Capitol. The men of that day
thought, like men, fearlessly uttered what they
thought and stood prepared to maintain their posi
tion at the hazard of property and life.
The Provincial Council was now dissolved, and a
new body, the Council of Safety, substituted in its
stead. Of the latter Mr. Harnett with Samuel Ashe
were the members from the Wilmington District
The duties devolved upon these two Councils, in a
time of disorder, doubt, and confusion, were delicate,
multifarious, arduous, and of vital importance to the
public weal. In the interval between the fall of the
Royal, and the Constitution of the new Government
they were the Government "de facto." Mr. Harnett
sustained himself with masterly ability, our coming
difficulties by his energy, and illuminating perplex
ea questions witn tne ngnt oi a aiscipunea, ana
highly cultivated intellect. "He commanded the
respect of all by his stability of purpose, and dignity
of character, and deportment ; while he attached to
himself by his fascinating address, and power o
persuasion, a multitude of friends. In a time o
Revolution, and War, the fear, and hatred of a man's
enemies form striking proof of his fidelity, and
usefulness to his friends. When Gen. Clinton camt
South, and whitened the waters of the Cape Fear
with the saiis of his fleet, he issued from the Pallas
transport, a Proclamation to the people of North
Carolina, offering a general pardon to all who should
recant their political heresy, and return to their al
legiance to their King. From the benefits of this
Proclamation two individuals were excepted by
n,ame, Cornelius Harnett and Robert Howe. Aright
noble compliment to the incorruptible patriotism of
Harnett and Howe ! To the voice of bribery, and
seduction thev were deaf: to fear inaccessible. The
denunciation of impotent wrath fell a harmless bolt
at their feet. It was as the clap of thunder that in
dicates the shower destined to refresh the earth, and
make it blossom like as to a garden ; and not like
that w hich precedes the hurricane, and the deluge.
July 22d, the Declaration of Independence reach
ed Halifax. On the 1st August; Mr. Harnett, Pres
ident f the Council convened at that place, read it
before a vast concourse of soldiers and citizens.
The enthusiasm of the people was unbounded. - The
welkin rang with thousands of voices, loud and glad.
After he had finished, the excited soldiers crowded
around him with reiterated plaudits, and bore him
on their shoulders, in triumph, through the streets.
The glory of such a day was a just meed to the de
votion of Harnett to his country.
In the Congress assembled at this time at Halifax,
over which Samuel Johnston presided, Mr. Harnett
was greatly distinguished. He served - on most of
the important Committees that were raised. April
13th, he was one of a Committee to prepare a Con
stitution. Not succeeding in their purpose Nov.
12, he was appointed on a second Committee to
draft a Bill of Rights, and a Constitution. He was
also on the Committee of Ways and Means to sup
port Troops. When the Constitution was under
discussion, Mr. Harnett, as might have been expect
ed fromjiis liberal and enlightened views, was op
posed to the clause in that Instrument restricting
offices of emolument and trust to those who believ
ed in the principles of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and advocated the rejection of the word
Episcopal. For this servicc.alone he is entitled to
the gratitude of his countrymen, the clause being
amended as he desired. It is a matter of surprise,
republican as ho was, and ; challenging the right
of both Priest and King, that he did not go further
and urge the more just and liberal amendment effect
ed in the Contention of 1835. Under the new Con-
stitution.
Caswell was elected the! first Governor of
he State of North Carolina, nnd Mr Harnett one of
his Council, In 1778, Mr. Uameti was a member of
he Continental Congress, and hisrnarac 13 affixed to
the "Articles f Confederation and Perpetual Unkm.
In 1781, a British force occupied the town of
Wilmington. The first incursion from the garrison,
was planned by the commandant tjrith a view of ta
king Mr Iiarnett nriner. and also of obtaining
possession of a considerable sum of money confided
to him, for the purchase of munitions and clothing
tor the Continental Troops. Mr. iiarnett was, how
ever, on the alert. As soon as fee received intelli
gence that the enemy had entered the river, he
adopted precautions for the preservation of the mo
ney ; and managed with so - much forecast and ad
dres., as to direct it safely to iU precise destina
tion. He then lost no time in making efforts to es
cape from the danger to which' his person was ex
posed from the proximity of the enemy. He left
his plantation on Topsail Sound, with the intention
of seeking a refuge at the head of ! New River, in
Onslow Count v. On his way, he! was seized with
a paroxysm of the gout, which forced him to stop
at Colonel bpicer s, about G2 miles from W limington.
Here he was confined to his bed fr four days.
The detachment sent to take him. hearimr that a
body of cavalry at Morris' Hill, ijj Duplin County,
and another body on Trent, werje in motion ; and
apprehensive of being attacked and surprised, re
turned to Wilmington and obtained a reinforcement,
with which, assisted by treachery j it recommenced
the pursuit. It reached Colonel Spiccr's plantation
about day-break. When the alarm was given, Mr;
Harnett, under the impulse of thefmoment, sprung
from his bed with an activity whim surprised those
who were m the room with him, and who consider
ed him too much debilitated for ahy exertion. On
a little reflection, however, the impossibility of ef
fecting his escape became obvious jto him. lie sub
mitted to his adverse condition ; and on an occasion,
attended by circumstances calculated to shake the
nerve of the most resolute, we have reason to be
lieve, he displayed a firmness and a dignity consist
ent with the tenor of his life. The importance of
the prisoner (himself and Gen. How, being the only
exception in the proclamation of amnesty published
by the lintish) probably prevented the detachment
from murdering him. They treated him roughlv :
and the treatment he received froUi Craig, the Com
mandant, was little better. He was confined to the
block-house for three days, during which time, the
attention and deference paid to hirii by the respecta
ble loyalists, I induced Craig to adopt a mild usage.
He was paroled ; and took lodgings, which rendered
his situation comfortable. He did not, however,
long enjoy this indulgence.
Aware that his disease must terminate fatally, he
declined the advice of his physicians; but received
thankfully their kind and friendly attentions. In
the last stage of pain andsufferingj he had, "as might
be expected, his moments of impatience and asperi
ty. The placidity of his temper never, however, de
serted him long; and he enjoyed a! serenity of mind
to the last hour of his existence. Some of his friends
endeavored to present to his mind the consolations
of revealed religion, and to enforcejon it the necessi
ty of repentance ; but he had so intrenched himself
in the positions of infidelity, that; their approaches
were too easily resisted at . that awful period. He
died, 1781, in the tenets in which he had lived; and
dictated, a short time before his expiration, the sim
ple epitaph which appears over hifc grave. A vale
tudinarian for the last three years j of his life, his
death was, probably, not accelerated by the hard
ships, or the privations, incident
o his captivity."

This is the ; title of a new papef recently estab
lished in Washington City. Its objects and princi
ples are set forth in the following ejxtract which we
make from its Introductory : . .
First. We shall advocate a repeal oi the laws of
naturalization, and if that cannot bp accomplished,
then such modification of those laws, as will pre
vent future emigrants from becoming citizens short
of a residence of twenty-one years, jafter taking the
oath of allegiance to the United States, and of abju
ration of all other powers, potentates, and princes.
Secondly. We shall advance the passage of a
4-st?ingent law by Congress to prevent the emigra
tion hither of foreigners, who are either paupers or
criminals, and to send back to the jcountries from
which they come all such foreigners ?of these classes
as may, in violation of such laws, jiereafter, reach
our ports; and to require from ahy government,
which may send hither such classes! of its subjects,
immediate and ample satisfaction fafsuch outrage,
and a proper indemnity against the repetition there
of. - : s. !
Third. We shall oppose the election or appoint
i ( ? i . ' jitf
meni ox any lorcign Dorn citizen to any omce
trust, honor, or emolument, under the Federal or
State governments, or the cmploj'meht or enlist
ment of such persons in the army or navy in time
of toar; maintaining, as we do, the; opinion, that
the native hern citizens of the United States have
the right to govern the land of their birth ; and
that immigrants from abroad should be content
with the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, i
under our institutions, without seeking to partici- j
pate in the enaction, administration or execution j
of our laws. j i
Fourth. We shall advocate and urge the adop-
tion ot sucu an amenaea jorm oj an oain io sup
port the Constitution of the United States, and to
be administered to all persons electeq or appointed
to any office of trust, honor, or emolument, under
tne reuerai governments, as win cuectuaiiy ex-
elude ! from such offices all persons, who shall not I
directly and explicitly recognize the obligations!
and binding force of the Constitution jof the United !
States, as paramount to all obligations of adhesion j
or allegiance to any foreign pnnie, power or poten
tate, or authority whatever, under ary and all cir
cumstances. Fifth. We shall maintain the doctrine that no
one of the States of this Union has the right to
admit to the enjoyment oi free suffrage any person j'
of foreign birth, who has not been sfirst made a j
citizen of the United States, accordinetto the "uni-.i
form rule" of naturalization prescribed jby Congress, ,
under the provisions of the constitution. j

Eighth. We shall oppose and protest against all
abridgment of religious liberty, holding! it as a car
dinal maxim, that religious faith is a question be
tween each individual and his God, and over which
no political government, or other human poweiycan
rightfully exercise any supervision or control, at
any time, in any place, or in any form.
Kinth. We shall oppose all " higher lav doc
