BRO WN AND STRANGE. Our two Senators, after holding on long enough to their seats, against the will of their constituents, to pocket their jay during this protracted Session of Con gress, have come forward at this late hour, and tender ed their resignations, to take effect at the meeting of our next Legislature ! We shall publish their letters, as soon as copies are obtained, those transmitted to the Governor, being so burnt and defaced (the Mail Bag, probably, hjaying heifr ignited by a spirk from he Lo comotive) that they can scarcely be made out. We shall embrace the occasion to expose the jesuitical flnmmery of oUr Senators these being tie only words we know that convey an apt idea of the character of their communications. They are evidently intended as an appeal to the people, and we are perfectly willing to leave the question to their arbitrament. In conse quence of the damaged condition of the Letters, we un derstand that Gov. DtTDiEx has returned them to our Senators, that they may forward fresh copies. : , TRUTH IS MIGHTY. The "National IntelUgehcer" of the 3d , inst. con tains an-Addrcss to the People of North Carolina, from our. Representatives in Congress, Messrs. Stanlt, WiLtiAMs, Deberhy, and Ratneti, in reply to the recent communication put forth by Messrs. Montgome ry and Hawkins, assailing Gen. Harrison's character and conduct. This Address shall appear on Friday. It not only exposes the unworthy artifice resorted to, in strong language, and refutes in the most ample man ner die unfounded charges preferred, but it places, Messrs. Montgomery and Hawkins in fa predicament" (as a friend of ours used to say) which must make their friends hang their heads ifa vry shame ; for it is ?ident that the fross misstatemlnta made must have heeiCJenowingly made, with the intention of deceiv- ing the people as to the facts of the casei But the an swer is conclusive, annihilating, overwhelming ! The Address also discusses in a masterly manner the re commendation for, a Standing Army, and Mr Varf Buren's conduct in suffering; Negroes to give testimo ny against White men two subjects which require, by their importance! that they should Kbp thoroughly investigated. CONGRESS. EDITOR S CORRESPONDENCE. Washington, June 28, 1840. The Senate was not in session to day . The House of Representatives were in session from 10 o'clock until far into the night. " .;,r- From 5 o'clock uniil 10 o'clock, there-was a Georgia war the combatant JAtJ Alford, who sticks to the Whig party, which elected him, and Mr. Cooper, who though elected by the same party, is now in favor of the man whom hewas pledged to oppose.

Mr. Campbell of Tenn." got the floor, and addressed the House at great length. Exercise at the Church were closed.

I ALABAMA. . , ' A gentleman, recently from this State, expresses the Pmion most fconfidently, that Alabama will go for JWiboit. He is tkuing to back bis judgment, too, ;,y layin8 wager on this result j " . f hood on the suggestion. , At every: stage of the busi ness, Lieut. Hooe remonstrated. ; He protested against the examination of the Steward, Mitchell, and after the examination, he protested against the evidence and de clined interrogating the witness. He did the same thing in the case of Waters, the Cook. His protests in both instances were -spread upon the record, and with the VVashisgtox, June 29. On Saturday last, the House was in session nu the Sub-Treasury BiH, until Sunday morning hot taking the bill from Committee, but allowing several members to make Speeches of one hour and a little more, each. Messrs. Crittenden and Morgan, cf N. York, with Mr. Hilt,' of Va. and Mr. Crabb, of Ala. severally address ed the Committee. When Mr. Crittenden closed, it- was beyond the hour of twelve, and Mr. Duncan had the floor at the adjournment. Mr. Duncan commenc ed his speech to-day at half past ten, and has continu ed from that hour to the present with no prospect of closing his remarks before the dose of the day. You jean imagine the effect which, a speech of this length has had at this period of the session and in the hottest day of the year. Washigto, June 30. The House adjourned last night at 11 o'clock, and this morning, as soon as the House met, and the ques tion was announced from the Chair, a dozen sprung to their feet, some to, call the Previous Question, and others to continue the debate. ThcPrevious Question was put, on ordering the bill to a third reading, -which was carried by a vote of 123 to 166, several of the Whig members being absent as usual, and nearly eve ry "Loco Feco being in his place. As soon as the bill ;was read, and the questidn stated en its passage a dozen more again rose the floor was obtained by Mr. Graham, of yoiir State, who spoke about two hdurs and a half. As aodn as he had concluded, there was j to Hawes. of Kentuckv, who is now speaking.

QThe official papers lately communicated to Con gress by the President in relation to the Maine Boun dary, arry on their face a strong probability of a happy issuetf the long-continued misunderstanding on the subject between Great-Britain and this country. The docfcents consist of a message from the President ; a lettfrom Mr. Fox to Mr. Forsyth, and"Mr. Forsyth's rePif-all of a conciliatory character. The letter of MrFox states, thatjfhe Report of the British Com missioners whohave lately made an examination and surrey of the Territory in dispute, expresses an opin ion (J hat the Treaty of 1783,. is materially different &SS?V ? lon intended for by Great-Britain." f8T?resident proposes, to Congress,"therefore, an im mediate exploration and survey, on our part, by Com missioners appointed for the purpose of the portions of Territory brought into view by this communication. Washisgtox, July 3. The Vice-President announced to the Senate (as is usual) that he should be absent for the remainder, of the present session. To-morrow, of course a Presi dent pro tern. ''will be chosen. The Resolution from .the House fixing the day of adjournment on the 21st instant, was taken up and agreed to. The bill to. regulate the pay and emoluments of pur sers of the Navy was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. The bill to-insure the more faithful collection of du ties on imposts, was further discussed, but not decided upon. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Adams, from the select committee, to whom had been referred the memorial of the A mericaf Philosophical Society, re questing the aid ot ijrovern merit i.n carrving on a series of observations, made a Report concluding with a Re solution, proposing an appropriation of $20,000 for the establishment of five several stations, at suitable dis tances from each other, for making observations of ter rcstial magnetism and meteorology, conformably to the invitations from the Royal Society oCreat-Britain to the Amerkal Philosophical Society at Philadelphia, and otheritearned Societies in the United States. Said sum to be placed under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy, arid accounted for to the Treasury of the TJ. States: The Report and Resolution were laid on the table and ordered to be printed. . A . A -number of Reports from Committees were made. The House then resumed the consideration of the b'lfl to extend for two years the charters of the several Banks in the district of Columbia, and a protracted and irregular debate ensued, and finally the bill from the Senate was rejected, 90 votes to 69. A new bill was introduced hy Mr. Holleman and iinderwsntsome discussion. " " . ' Washigto, July 4. The Senate, yesterday mrning, elected Wm. R. King, President pro tern. He received 23 out of 29 votes. He was accordingly conducted to the Chair, and made a suitable address. Mr. Walher called up the Resolution submitted by him nronosiiiithe appointment of four ReDortratf the Debates of tl'ertadJhe:.8ubject'was. referred io JLSsSSCt .CS Atteflf " - ' " Sundiy biQa were iicted upon. A new bill on the subject of the District Banks was received from the House, they having rejected the bill from the Senate. "This bill was considered, and con siderable debate took place chiefly on a motion of Mr. Clay to suspend a rule.of the House, which the Pres ident having decided was tiut t)f order, he appealed from the decision. The decision was sustained by a vote of 24 to 6. . A Resolution. was introduced by Mr. Benton for Hcontinuing the charters of the Banks, for the sole pur pose of 'Winding up their, affairs,- which was read twice. Mr. Hubbard moved aa a" substitute for it, a portion of the bill from the House, putting the Banks on a footing with the Union Bank of Georgetown, which waf agreed to, anil ordered to be engrossed. DUPLIN COUNTY. At a meeting of the Citizens of Duplin County, held at the Court House on the 13ih of June, 1840, n motion of Benjamin Oli ver, John Carr, Esq. was called to the Chair, and James Gillespie and George Smith ap pointed becretanesi 1 here being: several of the Administration party present.tliey were invited to participate in the proceedings of the meeting, but declined. The following preamble and resolutions were introduced ky Jeremiah Pearsall, . Esq., and support ed by him in an able-address of considerable length, as by a' few very pertinent remarks ! by Benjamin Oliter, when they were unani mously adopted. , In all well regulated Republics, it is the privilege of the people to assemble together, consult for their com mon good, and redress such grievances as may be op erating against them: And whereas, this country is now suffering all the evils growing out of a deranged currency, which derangement has been brought about by the improper action f the Chief Executive and his principal leaders in modern democracy ; first, by de stroying confidence in an institution which afforded a sound currency, and the means of remittance to a for eign market, without any discount in the exchange ; second, by proposing as a ;substitute therefor, a hard money currency, which if carried into operation, would paralyze commerce, reduce the value of labor, and thereby have a direct tendency to oppress the poor by making tliem more and more dependent upon the rich ; third, by proposing and urging the Sub-Treasury upon the country, a system intended to provide for salary officers, without affording any protection to the common people ; fourth, by withholding from the old States their equitable share of the surplus proceeds of the public lands ; and fifth, by an extravagant and shameful expenditure of the public monevlr- And r wjjereas, it is- the policy of the present Administration party to raise a largeStanding Army, which, (in the language of the great and good Washington) is partic ularly hostile to Republican liberty ; and which Army if established, would so increase the demand for money from the Government, as to make a direct tax indis pensable : And whereas, a corrective is necessary to restore" and bring back the government to h& ancient Republican simplicity, avert the evils which now hang over us, and procure equal rights and equal privileges for the whole American people : And whereas, Martin Van Buren, the present Chief Executive of these U nited States, .hasecommended measures which would lead to the evils before adverted to, and persists in en deavoring to enforce many obnoxious legislative acts upon the people, Resolved, That wewiH use all honorable and fair means to prevent his re-election. ' Resolved, That Levi Woodbury, a member of the President's Cabinet, and present Secretary of the Treasury, by retaining unfaithful Sub-Treasurers in employ, after their delinquencies were discovered, has subjected himself to, censure, and may properly be called a " nartrcetJscriminis." in the delirtnuprn'ina. i .

Mr Bucking haiiT, the veteran Editor of the Boston Couri er, presided. On his right hand was lh flavor of Boston; on his left a CletevrnarL After the good things which had beep amply provided Were properly discussed, Mr. Buck ingham opened the intellectual feast with a sketch of the history of printing, interspers ed with amusing reminiscences and anec dotes. The first toast called out the Mayor of Boston, who made a most humorous Speech. He sard that the magnitude of the subject made it impossible to dilate upon the benefits of the art of Printing. You might as well speak about the benefits of the Sun. So he should content himself with: talking about the evils engendered by the Press. The most flagrant of these he considered the encouragement which it gave to the raaura-" facture of public Speeches, whiph barLrfow became so common that if he were asked what were the principaf prbducts oTthe New England States he should not answer Gran ite and Ice, but Public Speeches. This was all the fault of the Press ; folks , would not take the trouble of making addressea if it were not for the pleasure of seeing in the pa per next day, that Mr. So-and-so electrified a most delighted audience with the, japst thrilling eloquence.: Nay, such was the be nevolence of the Press that if any gentleman was particularly dull or stupid in his remarks, it was announced that Mr, Blank mad&a most 8ensibleSrjeech.

WAKE FOREST, PLE ASLANT GKOVE : .AOADEMY. I was prcsent at the examination of the Young La dies of this School, which took place, last week. It was numerously attended, and every thing passed off according to the Wake Forest style of doing Uiings- satisfactorily aruldeughtfully to all. ' The School is under the superintendence of Miss MAuittJLiRiCHAiinSQX, and from what I heard and saw of &e Examination of the Young Ladies, I deem it but justice to say, that, while on the one hand, the promptnessaoS correctness which marked their stand ing as pupils, reflected the hLg-hest commendation upon their Preceptress so on the other, their polite arid gen tie deportment won the admiration of all who properly estimate female loveliness. And", if I may be permit ted to speak of aparticular Class, where at.l passed so excellent an examination, I would say that the" one in Natural Philosophy showed a practical acquaintance with the'-science,- which would be creditable even to matureryearsj and a much longer pupilage. Several of thVjfwing ladies favored us with Music at the intervals during tfie Examination of the differ ent Classes,anl showed by their, admirable performances that, much as, they. 'applied themselves to the more 2?tfHtqdesf tb.eyb.ad properly cultivated also, the ho es&,pdUte dtod'agreeable branches, The Examination was""Concluded by Compositions in the way of a dialogue between the five Senses each Sense represented by a young lady upon the ques tion, as to which one of them was most useful to man. L The Compositions were characterized by an ease and grace of sfyle truly beautiful ; and while the arguments left me' in doubt as to which Sense wa of most use to man, I felt equally doubtful, in looTaag at the fair per-, sonatorsjs to which one of them would be of most happiness to him. After the Exmmationwai.irclosed, James B. Shep ARDfEsq., according to previous invitation, delivered art Address tft the Young Ladies. Of this effort of Mr. S's I shall say little, as I understand that it has been applied for- for publication, and will probably ap peal in print. I will, however, take this occasion to "yTTirfc aperauc7wutnaeirr felts consequences, and should be treated as other speculative humbugs originating with that individual. Resolved, That Robert Strange, a Senator from this State, in abandoning his post in Congress, and going about making political speeehes to sustain the sinking fortunes ofthe present dynasty, has degraded the sta tion which he was sent to fill, and ought to be called lome. Resolved, That Romulus M. Saunders evinced the Despot in this Court House the last time, he presided here as Judge, to such a degree that- we will not have the man to rule over us. r And whereas, William Henry Harrison has kept aloof from the high party excitements which have dis tracted" the 'councils of this country for years past: And whereas, he has abilities and views corresponding with those of our beloved Washington the friend and lather of his country, - Resolved, That we will give, mm our hearty sup port for President of the United States, from and after the fourth of March next1 - Resolved, That John Tyler, of Virginia, is a sound politician, an honest man, and a friend to equal rights; therefore entitled to our support for the Vice Presidency.
