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. Richmond En .

Oxford Exam. Incendiaries- The City of Raleigh seems to be infested with a reckli s band of incendiarin.

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. Wilmington Press. 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. (Specimens of the South American Cotton Tree, have been sent to Wash ington from Bogota, by R. B. McAfee.
