The resignation was accepted, and on motion of Mr. Clark, Mr. Jpax M . Masox, was elected by the Eoard to till the vacancy. ; f . . . .. the City Assessors having rnaue a return ot tneir Assessment of the City Property, the Board proceeded u !av the taxes for the present year ; when it was re soled, they shall be the. same as the last year, to-wit, 5 cents on ctery hundred doHars of City Property, agreeably to the Assessment just made ; one dolhr on evek white male poll of,'21 years of age and upwards; one dollar on every cojorcd male poll of the age of 12 rears and under 50-; and the usual tax on Dogs. Sir. James H. McitRiT was appointed Collector of the City Taxes ; and a Statement being laid before ty Board, of the lots of Ground which have been set -spirt in the City Grave-yard, by Citizens, for the use f heir respective families in pursuance of an Ordi nance passed some years ago, it was resolved, that said Statement should be placed in the hands of the City " Collector, in order that he may collect what may re tain due on this account, at the same time .that he col lects the City taxes. ? t was ordered also, that the ringing of the City bell, which denotes the time for colored servants not to be off their owner's lots without a pass, shall,until the 1st of pctober, be rung at ten, instead -of nine o'clock. CORRECTION. , fn one of the Notes to? Mr. Badoer's Speech, the proceeds of the Public Lahds.for 1833-9 are estimated at sixty-eight millions,! ; This is an error, and has been corrected in the' Pamphlet edition. That sum was what the lands yielded for ten years ; 'Had Mr. Clay's bill! 'for the appropriation of the Pah- -lie Lands passed j North-Carolina would have receiv- etfup to the 30th September 1838, $2,730 979 ; but- thkbill was defeated by the Administration. . jUnder the Distribution Law of 1036, North-Caroli- n:j was entitled to 1,911 676. Of this sum, one foiirth remains unpaid Its payment was postponed to January 1, 1839. j That first of January has come arid passed, and the first of January, 1840, has come and passed; but the unpaid fourth has not come but, instead of it, issues "pf Treasury Notes to keep -the Government agoing. : Including interest, what ought io have been paid ns exceeds halp a million of dollars, now due ; but when it will be paid is a ques- tipn, that neither Arithmetic nor Politics can solve. L One thing, however, we may determine with sufficient qrtaintv, judging the future from the past that while ttiis Administration is ib power, it will not be paid. WHIG SALUTE. A Salute of 23 Guni was fired at the Depots in this City, on Saturday night last, lirhonor of the Whig f:tory in Virginia. A barrel of Hard Cider was ank by the crowd, on. the occasion. VALUE OF RAIL ROADS. We understand that a Merchant, from the upper part of Chatham county, left this City by the Kail load Cars on Monday morning, went to Petersburg, purchased his Spring Sjtock of Goods, and had them ie!ivered at the Depotjin this place, on the following Thursday night ! On Friday morning, they were load ed into wagons and by ordinary breakfast time were ome miles on the way to Chatham ! Such expedition nd such facilities deserve encouragement. GOV. IREDELL. This distinguished gentleman, who has, since the agitation of the Sub Treasury question, occupied rath jM a neutral position between the Whigs and T,oco Fo jws, has, we are greatly gratified to learn, abandoned that position, and come out boldly and- zealously tor the Peoples' candidates. At Chowan and Hali fa, and perhaps othr places, he addressed public meetings of the rriendjS of Harrison and Tyler, and iong'his old constituency, in the Edenton District, he has, we learn, dealt Van B uranism a blow tVora the effects of which it-lean never recover. This infor- pnation, we know, will be received with unalloyed 6at isfaction by the numerous friends of sthia gentleman, ,and we take the liberty of recording this distinct ex- sure do good service. : And as the " Hillsboro' Re pression of our individual gratification, without feeling corder" remarks, Dr. Smith is personally acquainted tl-ctt. in (loinrt cr tiro q oil mono aa nrtnn tnn knniJn 4 X7i t V fJnn VTarriarkn riivlnrr acrxrtA v7 i t V i m in C,nn jEditorial propriety. j Cj3 Messrs.

WHD'P BE AN EDITOR 1 No doubt that this exclamation has burst forth in voluntarily from many an occupant of the Editorial Chair, when, overwhelmed by the thousand perplexi ties of his position, he feels almost ready to sink under his accumulated burthens, There is, perhaps, ko sit uation in the whole range of business, so beset with toecA 10oo f i;P k.. 4 - nwu.uitD Ul mc, ui not a wun, more iree frA. 1 V.

But every dark picture lias its bright side, and -we have seen periods, few and far between we admit, when we have been tempted, to reverse the caption of our article, and exclaim" Who would not be an Editor" And we arc now enjoying one of these seasons. We W no PsiUon to excite the envy of our cotempo raries, but for a few days past, we have had so many creature-comforts showered upon us, in the shape- of presents, that we have come to the conclusion, that an Editor's tripod, taking it "by and large,"' is about as comfortable a seat as can well be found. We men tioned, the other jday, the receipt of a box of Cigars from our friends, the Messrs. Lash, of Bethania ; but that was'only a priming to one since received from Wilmington a box of real Regalias and superior in quality, to any thing we have ever seen in these parts. It takes a fuU hour at least to despatch one of them scientifically ; and then, the delightful fragrance which remains behind, is no inapt type of the influence of a good man, which ceases not when he, as the visible agent is removed, but long shows the traces of his vigor and purity ; .just as the Western sky, after the sun is set, still betrays the glowing traces of the departed orb. But what is this ? A present from our friend, the Rev. SmxET (not Samivel) Welleu, of Halifax, of a lot of his domestic Wine, made without Alcohol the real juice . of the Grape and a very prime article, as many of our friends can testify. No man in the State is doing so much to promote the extension of Silk Orchards and Vineyards, as Mr. Weller. We drink his health. " It never rains, but it pours" saith the old saw. Literally true with us, for in less time than it takes us to chronicle it, we have had trundled into our Sanctum, from different sources, several dozen of" Hard" Cider" and a Demijohn of Lawrence's best. We forbear giv"g publicity to the considerate donors, lor they are of that class who " do good byVstealth, and blush to find it fame." Oh ! how the prospect of seeing the country delivered from the misrule, which bows down her energies, dilates and opens the heart of a genuine Whig We attribute all our good luck to tho result of the Virginia Election. P. S. We have just received an invitation to call and see the Giraffe. Thankful for small favors. " Who would not be an Editor 1" COUNT Y NOMINATIONS. We have received for publication, the Proceedings f wo Whig meetings rC(.eny held in Cpunty which are crowded out to-dayi The principal object of the meetings was to take steps for appointing Dele gates to a County Convention, to he held iri Ralegh on Tuesday of our May Court,' to nominate Candi dates for the Legislature. , We hope H that other sec tions oT the County will act also in this matter, and that the proposed meeting in this City may be full and general. It is a mode of arriving at the state of pub lic sentiment, entirely free from objections, and a nom ination from such a source 'will carry with it great weight. - MOUNTAIN DISTRICT. Charlf.s McDowell, Esq. of Burke, has been nominated as the Whig Elector for the Mountain Dis trict a selection every way unexceptionable. EXECUTION. Thomas H. Christmas was hung at Warrehton, on Friday last, pursuant to sentence. GREAT FRESHET. The tremendous Rain, last week, by , swelling the water courses, has done immense damage in this and adjacent counties. We hear of Mills and Bridges, in every direction, carried away. ORANGE DISTRICT. Dr. James S. Smith, of Hillsboro,' has been select ed as the Habrison & Trisa Elector for the Dis trict composed of the Counties of Orange, Granville and. Person. We are gratified to learn that the Doc tor intends to canvass thejDistrict thoroughly. He is a ready and effective speaker, intimately acquainted I wim me political events of the day, and will, we are gresa, and can therefore, with the more confidence, testify to his qualifications and fitness for the high of fice to which it is sought to elevate him. OUR SENATORS. We are glad 'to see that a Resolution was adopted at the Halifax meeting, rebuking our Senators in Con- OTPfifi.

We are glad that the fancied securi ty of these recusant servants is thus disturbed, for the public mind has been so engrossed with other topics, that they, no doubt, have taken heart and begun to iiv dulge the belief, that they could insult their masters with-impunity. But they need not lay the flattering unction to their souls they are reposing on a mine, which will be sprung ere they are aware. The day of retributive iustice is at hand, and they will be, ere long, hurled from their places, and consigned to that oblivion, which is the sure reward of every disobedi- 7 J I . . tvt v mi ent F- Noth?S can m them- The ong arm oi me peopie is raisea, ana mey wm iau 1 beneath the avalanche of it power. THE OLD DOMINION IS FREE FREE FREE ! : AH the good news from Virginia is confirmed, and the last link that chained her to the throne is broken, and millions of free hearts hail her release ! The tide of power and corruption has been turned back with an iron rebuke and a giant arm. Virginia is free ! VIRGINIA IS, FREE ! Her gallant sons have done their, duty, and disdaining to put off their armor while the stain of oppression remains, they are ready and panting for the great battle of the Presidency. The eyes of the whole Union were anxiously bent on Vir ginia, and gloriously has she come to the rescue. The precise majority for the Whigs is not yet known, but the result is such as to settle the political character of die State for years to come. It makes a difference in the Presidential estimate of 46 .votes against Mr. Van Buren. It exhibits a elorious rallvine point for the Whigs, and wilr infuse animation into the bosom of ! every irresolute man in the country. The importance, therefore, of this triumph cannot be over-estimated, or over-stated. It thunders from the political rampajts to every section of tho Union" ALL'S WELL !" : We insert here, as germain to the matter in hand, the following neat effusion; not of our own, but of a friend's Muse. It is, decidedly, one of the happiest hits we have ever seen : : Virginia's rivals. Two suitors lately to Virginia came, Dissimilar in stature, as in fame ; " The one, a little Northcrnman tho' long,"' he said, ' He'd been a Southerner in heart and head ;" The other was a Southern man, of sound ripe age, Whose deeds are blazoned on Columbia's page ; One moment doubtful fair Virginia seemed, But swift her bright glance on her Hj.ro beamed ; Then turning on the Northern man a look, That made him wish himself at Kinderhook Away ! she cried, your words and acts denote, 'You fawn'd and flatter'd but to gain my vote; Whilst this my clioice, will, midst the world's applause, Uphold my welfare, and' our Country's laws. Q. MR. MOREHEAD'S MANNERS. The "Washington Republican" says that Mr. Morehead's manners are on the rowdy order. We have no doubt that Mr. M'g. easy and Republican ad dress worries the Locos very much.! They would greatly prefer that he should wrap himself up in his dignity, be seen but on special occasions, allow no plain man to speak to him, and refuse to shake hands with he " unwashed." But it is cause of pride to the" true Democratic party, that they have selected a can didate, who is in practice, as well as profession, a plain unassuming Republican who assumes no fictitious consequence who is, in fact, one of the People. OSWEGO CORRESPONDENCE. The affidavits on this subject copied into the "War renton Reporter" stagger us a good deal, and almost induce us to believe that the statement, relative to the whole Oswego Correspondence being a forgery, wants confirmation. But a part of the allegation of the Whig Press was, that the answer, purporting to be from Gen Harrison's Committee, was written, in fact, by a cro ny of this Oswego association, at Cincinnati, and mail ed by him so as to bear the post-mark of that place. There is nothing in the Affidavits to rebut this state ment. If genuine, they profve that the Letter written to the General was a bond fide communication, but the v do not show the answer to be so. Mr. Badger's Speech at Oxford.- The whole of this document, with an Appendix, now appears in three numbers of the Raleigh Register; and will shortly, we understand, be published in Pamphlet form. Every man in North Carolina ought to read it." It contains none of those captivating strains of pleasing eloquence for which the author is known to be peculiarly qualified. It is no fanciful address to the passions. But a so ber, thoughtful, argumentative statement of facts and conclusions addressed to the sound judgment, the conscience and the patriotism of every man. Southern Citizen. We publish to-day a part of the Speech of George E. Badger, Esq., delivered at Gran ville. The remainder will be laid before our readers in our next. Mr. Badgerfs Speech is onejOf the ablest and most lucid addresses on the great political questions of the dy, that has appeared before the public. It should be in the hands of every man who is governed by principle, and who has the good of the country at heart. Let him attentively read this Speech, and weigh well the incon trovertible facts presented in it. Wash. Whig. One Fire More. The following anec dote was related by Mr. Corwin of Ohio, at the Harrisburc: Convention. Let the friends of Reform read itj and let " one fire more" be their battfe-cry in their great conflict for Harrison ami Liberty. " I remember sir, when a boy, to have lis tened with strong interest to the narrative of one who had been present at the battle of the Rapids, where Gen. Harrison finally van quished the Indian forces in the North West, and gave peace to a widely extended frontier settlement. The old soldier sauI that when the battle was raging hottest, many in that wing of the army where he was, were begin ning to falter and think of a retreat Just at the moment when this feeling begun to be prevalent.a young lieutenant.who was known as the confidential aid of old Mad Anthon, galloped up to the line and called to the men, with a voice that was beard above the roar of battle, Onward! my brave fellows ! the en emy is flying, one fire more and the eneiriy is ours." Sir, that Lieutenant was Wm. H. Harrison, now the bearer of that glorious banner under which we wage war against usurping powers, crafty peculation, and blind hostility to the good old maxims of our fathj ers. There are the foes.there areourcounlry's foes 'r let me exhort you in the language of the young lieutenant One Jire more, and the day is ours."

And the immediately following the last Presidential House again went into a Committee of the whole on election, the Whig party were in so meagre the General Appropriation Bill. , a minority that they did not attempt to run Mr. Johnson moved to amend the bill, by striking any candidate of their own for the seat in ? - out an mat related to me branch Mints in Ueorgia ami iew jripans, on tne ground mat they were un 1 TV' "V ... ... . . necessary, ajud-iuat all me business that was done at them, would be done better and cheaper at the Mint m Philadelphia. The motion was opposed by Messrs. Cooper and Habersham. Mr. Stanjy amused the Committee by exposing an account for certain items purchased for the use of the Branch Mint in your State, such as ornamental trees, shrubs, flowers, books on gardening, tools, &c. to the amount of $2 18, which had been paid for out of the public purse. The bill was still under consideration. In the Senate, bills for granting lands for the bene fit of the Mount Carmel. New Albany, Selrha and Tennessee Rail-roads, were considered," debated, and ordered to be engrossed. As was also the bill grant ing to" the State of Michigan, a quantity of land, in aid ef the construction of a canal around the falls of St. Marie. Washington, May 1. After disposing of some matters of minor impor tance, yesterday morning, in the House, Mr. Cushing, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported a bill to carry into effect the Convention between the United States and the Mexican Republic, which was referred to the Committee of the whole on the state of the Union. The Speaker then proceeded to call on Committees for Report3, and a number were presented. After which, during the remainder of the morning hour, the House disposed of the business lying on the tahje. The House then, on motion of Mr. Jones, again resolved itself into a Committee on the General Ap propriation bill. The item under consideration when the Committee rose last night, was for defraying the expenses of the Supreme, Circuit, and District Courts of the United States, and likewise, for defraying the expenses of suits in which the United States are con cerned, and of prosecutions for offences committed against the United States, and for the safe-keeping of prisoners, $300,000. Mr. Cushing was addressing the Committee, to show that Mr. Mackenzie, the State prisoner, ought td be no longer kept in prison, and to make his- remarks in order, he said, he would submit thera in the shape of an objection to the amount appropriated for his safe-keeping. Mr. Parxis called him to order. The Chairman declared him in order. Mr. Cashing had not proceeded far before Mr. Crary called him to or der. The Chairman again .declared him in order. Mr. Turney appealed from the decision. . On the question (being taken, no quorum voted, and the Com mittee accordingly rose. The question "Shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the Committee : was now taken, and decided in the af firmative 113 votes to 15. Mr. Cushing then pro ceeded to address the Committee on the subject, and offered an amendment, that $5,000 of the 300,000, should be applied to the more commodious safe-keeping of two prisoners of State held in prison for an al leged violation of the Neutrality act. (The persons alluded to are Messrs. Mackenzie and Van Rensselaer.) Mr. C. proceeded to state his reasons why additional consideration should be shewn to these individuals, as victims of State policy. The Chair (Mr. Casey,) decided the motion to be in order. Mc. Craig appealed from this decision. The appeal was debated, and finally decided against the Chair 96 votes to 26. The Committee continued to sit on this bill till late in the evening. In- the Senate, Mr. Webster presented a memorial from a large number of persons of Beaver county, Pa., asking the establishment of a National Bank, with a view to the correction of the evils that exist in relation to the currency. Mr. W. said, he did not suppose there was hkely to be any action on the subject at pres ent, and" should therefore move to lay the memorial on the table; but he should take occasion, at some-! period of the session, to express his views at large in relation to the currency. The Senate passed the bill for granting a quantity of land to Michigan, to aid that State in making a ca nal round the falls of St. Marie ; the bill for the ben efit of the Salem and Tennessee Rail-road company; and.the bill to admit the works of American Artists in Foreign countries, free of duty. Mr. Norvell introdaced a Resolution for releasing William Lyon Mackenzie, imprisoned in the jail of Rochester, for a violation of the laws to preserve the neutral obligations of the United States, and also to remit the fines which may have been imposed on him, which he would not ask the adoption of till Monday. ur..,v Ti7 v. ' Yesterday morning, after the Journal wastead, the Speaker laid before the House sundry communications from the Navy Department, with certain eonrracts, &c. and additional documents relating to the New Jersey election. . ; On motion of Mr. Jones, the consideration of the Report of the Committee on Privilege in the case of Messrs. Bynum and Garland, was postponed till Mon- day next Several bills of a private nature from the Senate were acted upon; some were passed, and other, re- ferred to the appropriate. Committees. . . A protracted discussion took place between Mr. Crossfof Arkansas, and Mr. Lincoln, of Massachu- setts, on a bill granting a right of pre-emption to an individual who had settled on land which proved to be a School lot, and to which the Senate had proposed an amendment. Finally, by general consent, the bill and amendment were re-committed to the Committee on Public Lands. . The House then, on motion of Mr. Jones, resolved itself, into a Committee of the whole on the General Appropriation bill, the discussion of which occupied the remainder of the sitting. ; bbp i ggggg ,f ,. -r, , , . i i xt .1 Martin Van Buren has been sty led a North- ern man with Southern feelings. 1 he first part is true, lhe last cannot be proved.

Roane, the present incum bent In a. few months after this, election the bank suspension took place, and the President came forward with his famous sub-Treasury plan. From that moment the Whig party began to gain and the Administra tion J.o lose ground in Virginia; The next Legislature met and found the Whigs stiil in a minority, the election having taken place previous to the announcement of the Sub Treasury Bill. But the Spring Election "gave evidence of a great increase of ibe Whig strength, and the session of the Legislature of 1839 found the Whig party in a plurality though not in a majority. The Spring elec tion again took place and the Whigs were still on the rise, and the last session of the Legislature found them, when united to the Conservatives, in a majority of the whole though, on account of the obstinacy of three impracticable Whigs, thev were unable to elect their Senator. This is the history of the rise and progress of the Wtiig jmrty In Virginia up to this Spring. And how do the party stand now ? In the last Slate elections, previous to the Presidential .election, when the whole strength -of the Administration has been put forth, when all the issues have been fairly made up and tried, when the merits and-measures of the two candidates for the Presidency have been fully discussed and are thoroughly understood, the elections have gone in favour of the Whigs, and re sulted in giving them a decided majority on joint ballot in the Legislature, while they have showed a large increase of the aggre gate vote in their favour. Such being the facts, upon what rational ground can the "Ad ministration found a claim to the vote of Vir ginia in the fall ? Can the Administration abandon its measures without the grossest and most obvious inconsistency? Can they undo1 all the evil they have done? Can they change adversity into prosperity, and prodigality-into thrift? If they cannot, what hope is there that they can reinstate themselves in the good opinion of people as intelligent as are the citizens of Virginia? Virginia's present position has not been assumed sud denly or capriciously. It has been taken gradually and after mature thought and re flection on the part of her people, and as it was taken cooly and deliberately, we may infer that it will not be abandoned rashly or hastily- Petersburg Inlelligenftr. nr n ttp A song to the tune cf the Old Oa) Bucketri Oh, dear to my soul are the days of our glory, The time honored days of our national pride, When heroes and statesmen ennobled our story, And boldly the foes of our country defied..
