The neat Presidency. The New York Eve
ning SUr, in a long article on this subject, can
vasses tie claims aud prospects of Messrs. Web
ster, Clay, and Calhoun, with regard to uniting
the Opposition, in tbe ensuing contest, and close's
with the following remarks relative to Mr.
Manguu. On reltrring to the proceedings of
our General Assembly it will be clearly seen,
that the past "history" nor present "polit
nal course" of Mr. Mangum, will ensure him
even utfiuent "popularity al home" to get the
vote ol ttiis Stale, should he be a candidate for
that office '1 he Evening Star remarks:
"Amoig those lo whom wo should be
glail to s-ee attention directed, we would
mention the name of Mr. Mangum, a
Senator from North Carolina. On dif
ferent occasions, we have read his t-jjeteh-cs
with more limn ordinary pleasure;
there is a nanly dignity about them, a dis
play ot poetical good sense and deep in
vestigaltoi, which denote no ordinary
man. Wt would be very glad that some
one who isacquainted with history would
write and publish it. Let us know what
has been lis political course; what his
iMiiploymett; what is his popularity at
home; wha are his business habits; and
what his address. North Carolina has
never prestnKd a candidate she has a
large and shady-minded population she
is a Cjouihein State, yet is intimately con
nected with the North in all the relations
of commune. The opinions of ht:r
statesmen, or these anil other causes,
are likely to present medium views,
which, no doubt, will prove satisfactory
to every sec ion of the country."
(JA Raleigh correspondent of the Fayelte
ville Ob?erver writes as follows:
"We learn that much dissatisfaction
exists because of the amount ($130,000)
expended in rebuilding the Capitol. It is
estimated, we understand, that $150,000
or $200,000 more will be necessary to
complete it; and it is seriously feared that
a further appropriation will not be made.
We should deeply regret this, for though
we think the building has been commen
ced upon quite too grand n scale, it would
never do to Uave it in its present state.
It would present one of the most remark
able monuments of folly that any State
ever erected fur the exhibition and per
petuation of its own disgrace. The Le
gislature certainly has reason to complain
of the deception practised upon them
when first called upon lo make an appro
priation. They were then told that
$00,000 would be sufficient lo complete
the edifice. But we trust that they will
not now, in revenge for this deceplion,
disgrace themselves and the State by
withholding the means to prosecute the
work. This is written, of course, under
the supposition tiiat the seat of govern
ment is to remain at Raleigh; for we have
not placer) confidence in the reports
which we have heard of a general deter
mination to abandon that place and make
Fayetteville the Capitol. We need not
say how acceptable such a determination
would be to us; but it is not to be expected.
OCThe Hon. Win. 11. King has been
re-elected Senator from Alabama, by an
almost unanimous vote he received 97
out of I he 115 members who were pres
ent. Resolutions have been introduced
into the Legislature, requesting the Hon.
Gabriel Moore, the other Senator from
that State, to resign.
Important Dtcision. The Raleigh
Register says One of the State Courts
in Tennessee has pronounced the Act,
passed by the Legislature at its session
in 1833, extending the jurisdiction of
that State over the territory of the Che
rokee Indians, unconstitutional and void.
An appeal has been token in the nature
of a writ of error, to the Supreme Court.
South Carolina The Oath Bill has
passed the House of Representatives, by
an overwhelming majority and also tha
Senate, by a vote of 32 to 11 There
are bills before the Legislature tor defin
ing the law of Treason and for regula
ting the Supreme Court of the State.
We learn from Columbia, (says the
Churl eston Mercuiy of the 29ih ult.,)
that the Hon. George MrDuffie will cer
tainly be elected Governor, and that the
Oath will certainly pass.

Melancholy Accident. On Wednes
day Evening Inst, as Mr. Jones Buxton,'
of this town, was riding from Greenfield,
about a mile distant, he was throwi. from
his iinre, and so severely injured as to
die in a few hours. 11' was about 21
years of age the only son of a widowed
mother, who is thus suddenly depnved of
her chief earthly hope and comfort. We
siucerely sympathize with the bereaved
on this melancholy occasion.

Melancholy.- The lifeless body of
Mr. James Norman, jnn., a resilient of
Davidson county, was found on Sunday
morning last, in the Yadkin river, about
12 or 13 miles below his residence, near
Olemmonsville. Mr. Norman, we un
derstand, was married about the 1st in
stant, and was of industrious and temper
ate habits; he left his home about three
weeks ago, in delicate health, and some
what deranged state of mind, and wns
not heard of until discovered on the morn
ing of the 23dlinstant. An inquest being
held, the Coroner and Jury returned as
their verdict, that the deceased came to
his death by drowning himself, in a fit of
mental derangement. Salem lteporrm
Mississippi Convention. A gentle
man in this city has received a letter from
Jackson (Mississippi,) dated the 5th in
stant, immediately after the close of the
Convention, giving a brief account of its
proceedings. It was fully attended, a
bout 130 delegates being present. The
letter states that "Martin Van Buren was
unanimously nominated for the Presi
dency, and Thomas H. Benton for Vice
President," we presume subject to the
confirmation of the National Convention.
Robert J. Walker, Esq. was nominated
for the Senate in the place of Mr. Poin
dexter, and Col. Claiborne and Judge
Wright for Representatives. Globe.
(IT'Every body remembers the shower
of meteors whieTi fell on the night of the
13th Nov. last year: several scientific
gentlemen predicted that there would be
a repetition of them on the same night
this y'ar, and Professor Ol instead of
Yale College, and a large number of the
College faculty and Students sat up du
ring the night to watch for them; and sure
enough about 3 o'clock they commenced
falling, and continued for an hour, very
much aftr the manner of those seen last
year. We have tio account of their hav
ing been seen at any7 other place.
