BROWIV. itk rv .Ju -r .v. t.; jsv Remarks of Ulr. BROWf, In the Senate of the U States, May 23. On the subject of the recognition of the Independence of Texas. Mr. BROWN said he would not enter into the consideration of the very impor tant topics, on the present occasion, which the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. amounj nau alluded to, m the course of his remarks, as to position which Texas ought to occupy in relation to the United States, in the event of her succeeding in the establishment of her independence. Whether she was to be incorporated into libe-jour confederacy as one of its members, or whether she was to stand" in the relation of an independent sovereignty, haTTng no political connexion with us, as a nation, were questions which were fraught with tne most important consequences, -would, when presented, for deliberation, deserve i j me mu&i tfuienm consideration. He would proceed to say a few words on the motion to refer the memorials, in favor of the recognition of the indepen dence of Texas, to the Committee on Fo reign Relations. We had been called on, said Mr. B., to take this step, by the ad vocates of the motion, confessedly on the grounds of the propriety of an immediate acknowledgement of the existing authori ties in Texas as a Government. He, therefore, should view the motion aslook- g to that result, and as the means bv which ft was sought to be accomplished. What, he would ask, was the nature of the information on which tips important step was to be predicated Were we in possession of that well authenticated intel ligence, as regards the condition of Tex as, and the competency of its existing au thorities to maintain themselves against the power of the Mexican Government, which would" authorize, such a measure? These were important preliminary inqui ries, and should not be regarded as settled, until we had received more certain and definite information, than we yet had in our possession. Mr. B. could not, he said, consider the effort which was now making by honorable gentlemen to stimu late action on this subject by our Govern ment, in any other light, than an attempt to change practically and radically the neutral and pacific character of our Gov ernment, which had long been cherished as one of its wisest and best settled princi ples of policy a policy under the guidance j0f.whi.cii, we had grown, and strengthen ed, became powerful at home, ana respec table abroad. He for one, was not wil- ling to exchange a policy, which had pro duced such rich and valuable fruits, for one of novel experiment and of uncertain issue. Lie couiu not yieia nis juugment to the enthusiastic appeals which had been made lo our sympathies on this occason. He trusted, that he too felt a becoming and proper sympathy for those in every clime and in every country, who were engaged in a struggle for liberty against arbitrary power. But there was a simpalhy which he owed in another quarter and which he acknowledged he fell in its full extent higher, stronger, and of more sacred obli gation than that which had been on the present occasion claimed. of us. It was a sympathy Jor the preservation of our national character, for justice, and for the preservation of our otcn free insti tniions. Such was the ardent anxiety and solicitude that he felt for the success of our own great and hitherto eminently successful experiment in self-government, that he believed we should not only be doing great injustice to our own country, buL to the cause oj liberty every vhere, by embarking our Government, which was the best and brightest hope of the friends of civil liberty, in schemes, if not a. f. c. r.uOTT, j;iwi: ucm.uo, T T ciotis and precipitate. Mr. p. thought he COuld see. in the considerations to which he had adverted, reasons at .least as strong, and motives as powerful, to call forth our patriotic sympathies, and to afford us an ample occasion for their exercise, as any which had been urged on the other side. It had repeatedly, said Mr. B., been charged against republics by the advocates of power, that they were too much govern ed by a spirit of conquest, and had often endeavored to aggrandise themselves, at the expense of other nations, disregarding the principles of justice. He believed the charge unfounded, and trusted that the U nited States would continue, as they had heretofore done, to afford an examplifica- of the truth, that a republican Govern ment can not only act with justice and moderatian towards other nations, but that it can preserve a character for those eleva ted national virtues, pfacing it in honora ble contrast with the selfish and arbitrary examples too ofien set bf Governments of a different form. Mr. B. said that generous as the enthu siasm was which had been expressed on this occasion in behalf of Texas, and dis interested as the motives doubtless were, alleged in favor of the proposed departure at rn p noiitralilv Cnr cmh Vi ko cKnuld gard a recognition of the independence. of Texas, at present; aia gentlemen believe that the sharp-sighted diplomacy of for eign nations would not suspect us of some disposition jtggrandize ourselves at the expense of Weaker neighbor, and of im patience ug, plant our eagles on a foreign soil? He regarded our national character as worth infinitely more than, all the territo- rial possessions of Mexico, her wealth, or the wealth of all other nations added to gether. We occupied a standing" axong tbe nations of the earth of which we might well be proudVand which we ought not to permit to be tarnished.. We have, said Mr. B. arrived at that perod of our history as a nation, when it behooves us to act with the greatest wisdom and circumspec tion. 3Ut a lew years since, as a nation, we were comparatively in a state of in fancy; we were now m the confidence of youth, and with the buoyancy of spirit in cident to this period of oui existence as a nation, about to enter on "man's estate." Powerful in resources, and conscious of our srengtlT, let s not forget the sacred obligations Jf justice and ffcod faith, which form tMTindispensable basis of a nation's character, greatness and freedom, and without which no people could Ions' re serve the blessings of self-government. Republican Government was based on the principles of ittstice, and for it to be administered on any other, either in its foreign or domestic affairs, was to under mine its foundation and to hasten its over throw. Mr. B. said that the peaceable acquisi tion of Texas by purchase, was a ques tion; which might well merit the consid eration of the Government of the U. States but any step which looked either directly or indirectly to obtain possession of it in any other way, or which would commit us to take part in the contest in which it was at present engaged, ought in his opin ion, to be steadily resisted. If, in the ex isting condition of things, we acknowl edge her independence, it would become not only a matter of pride, but somewhat of obligation on our part to maintain it by military force an extremity, which gen tlemen oujht to pause before they were prepared to precipitate the country im-4 providently into If, said Mr. B., we shall receive unques tionable information that Texas can main tain her independence a'gaint the authori ty of the Mexican Government, norte would be more willing to see her recog nized as a free and independent State than himself; hut until then we owed it to our character as a nation, to our love of jus tice and moderation, and to our republican form of Government, to do nothing which would compromit the one or endanger the other. FROM THE GLOBE. OPPOSITION TACTICS. We think it right to call the attention of the -country, in. a vctu ananhAjii'. man. ner, to the new tactics brousrnt into pi: play this session by the Presidential candidates Congress And their partisans to defeat Lnfi frst rate the business of the session and to evade the public responsibility. This new system consists ol prolonged opposition in speeches, motions, and ques- Itions of order, as they are called, (but which, in reality, are disorderly questions,) and in multiplying eternal calls for yeas and nays on questions of adjournment, or other insignificant points; by which con trivances the vote is staved off. from day 10 day, from week to week, and from month to month and when, at last, the time pomes for votinff. then these heroes of oooosition either sit still in their chairs rind refuse to vote, or dodro behind the colonnades, or betake themselves to walksled or refefed, be laid upon the table, and no v and visits through the city. Thus, after the most embittered and prolonged oppo sition to some measure for the service of the country, they escapu responsibility; for their names not appearing in the list of nays, there is nothing to convict them, for the report of their speeches is. denied and treated as a newspaper calumny. During the whole session, this novel and degrading system has been acted upon by the opposition, and many flagrant in stances have from time to time been poin ted out to the public but the most tinjus- tihable and scandalous' instance ot the kind which has ever yet occurred, took place on Saturday last in the Senate in that body once so grave and decorous, now and for the four years that the Presiden. tial candadates have converted that body into an electioneering-club, the theatre of scenes which would discredit a cross-road tavern. It was on the fortification bill, that bill which which was defeated last of so much crimination and recrimination j vear. ana lor tne loss ot wnicn a ueuuic occupied two months of the session. Bat there will be no longer room for further debate on that point. The bills for fortifi cations, (for there are now two hills de pending, one iu each House,) are just as furiously opposed, and by the same identi cal men, as the three million appropria tion was at the last session and now at the end nearly of the sixth months of the session, not a dollar is yet appropriated for fortifications and the season is so far advanced, that the year may be consider ed as lost and thus two years will pass by without being able to get money for fortifications, and the Treasury itself all the while brim full of money But the Presidential candidates in the Senate roust have the influence of that money them selves, for their bargaining adherents in the States, to lay out to the best political advantage, during the impending election. This being the state of the fortifications, nothin g yet appropriated, and the unfinish ed works falling to ruin for want of pro gress, strenuous efforts have been, ma king for weeks to bring the bills to a fi nal "conclusion. On Saturday last, the friends of the bill undertook to sit it out. and having called up the bill at one o -identi.il candidates and their 1 V IY VilV -A. 1 obstinate and nve -nours, when the friends of the tnll having proved that it was a question, be tween DEFENCE and DI3TRIBU- UUi between the FORTIFICATI ON BILL and the LAND BILL and that the whole struggle was to CREATE P SURPLUS by PREVENTING AP- l'KUPKIATIONS, having proved this, they ceased speaking, and commenced vo ting. But scarcely was the voting com menced, before the motions to adjourn suc ceeded and these being voted down sev eral times, the fugitive tactics, the flvino manoeuvre, was resorted to and in eoun- ting up thevotes, it was found that no quo rum had voted that twenty five Senators 3fo mit pwseni! jxepeatea ana vain efforts were made to recal the fugitives to their duty. Jone they had! gone they were! and come hack they would not! A report of this day's debate, and of the yeas and nays, wil I verify this mortifying detail, and show the country who it was that opposed the hill in debate, and evapo rated at the call ofthe yeas and nays; and who, like Parthitis, fled to conquer, and defeated by runnfng what they could no longer oppose by standing. Persons at a distance- may suppose that such a scene as this is impossible in the American Sen ate; but the report of the debates, the journals of the votes, and the presence of many spectators, win be able to vindicate the truth, and to show that we have imper fectly and faintly sketched a picture which ought to be drawn to the life, and exhibit ed to every citizen. The fact is, that since a desperate, wretched, broken down set of bargaining, trading, factious, intriguing, venal, malignant, disappointed, Tevenge- ful candidates for the Presidency, the at tornies,. pensioners, and debtors of the Bank of the United States, have got into the Senate, and clubbed together, though cordially detesting each other, to RULE the country or to RUIN it since this has happened and that is for four years past the Senate of the United States has re alized the most degrading pictures which ancien. or modern history has ever pre sented. Happily this session is the last of their miserable machinations and a few months more will so completely re veal to them the state of their own insig nificance, that shame and despair, and the power of public sentiment, will expel them from their seats, or reduce them to the nullity of an opposition as insignificant in nuintw.ro M i-aill he imnotent in nower. 4 malignant in. snirit Z V ROM THE GOI.BE. Tlie NULLIF1ERS and ABOLITIONISTS. We congratulate the country upon the final overthrow of the joint plot of these malcontent confederates to unsettle the Go- ernment and disturb the Union, by agita ting the slave question in Congress. The proceedings given in yestearday s Globe show that the course -indicated in the in structions referring this subject to a select committee for a final disposition, is now consummated by a report and the addition of a fixed rule. "All petitions, memori als, resolutions, propositions, or papers, re lating in any way or to any extent whate ver to the subject of slavery, or the abolition of slavery, shall, without being either print further action be had on the subiect." This is now the law of ihe House, and it is an ab solute quietus to the last grand scheme of the disturbers, who would shake the founda tion of republican institutions, to obtain for the factious leaders in Congress the power over the Presidency, which belongs to the m people. The sole object of the agitatoryj& Mason, McKejinan, Patton, J. A. has been to make sectional parties north and south, to sever the democracy, and defeat that unity of action in support of the pop ular cause which can alone prevent the triumph of the coalition and of federalism working for the cause of corruption for the money power, seeking to command the Chief Magistracy and the Government through an election by States in the House against the will of the majority 01 the peo ple. The abolition question was the grand contrivance which was to breed an incur able schism between the northern arf southern democracy. This was to merge the paramount principles distinguishing parties and rally personal parties, under Calhoun, White, Bell, Tyler, fcc. on one side under Clay Webster, Harrison, Granger &c. on the other and thesedis interested partners and patriots in whigge ry, were to make a traffic of the Govern ment. But the abolition question is gone, and our virtuous politicians, who had lived so long by their wits, are now reduced to a most deplorable state of desperation. To attempt the reagitation of this defunct sub ject, is as hopeless as would be an effort to reanimate nullification ny a convention ai Hartford or Columbia. Congress wilt not suffer the abominable topic to be touched, and such a brand is set, by its late report, on every incendiary, who may wish Stw prepare combustibles for the future, that we doubt, exceedingly, w hcther any man, of decent standing, will be found getting up abolition papers of any sort. By a long considered, solemn opinion, support ed by an overwhelming vote, the immedi ate representatives of the people have mar ked the joint attempt of the agitators as perfidy to the principles of our compact; enmity to the Unisn-5 pregnant with im mediate mischief te all the great interests which ear happyinstitutions have covered Mritkuch suroassinsr prosperity.

They were trvmg to make the Journals of the day before, the basis of 1 1 1 s. an aDoiition aebate. Three hours and a half were taken up, and the previous ques tion taken three times, to put an end tb the points of disorder started by the distur bers, before the Journals could be read. But the grand stroke of policy bv which the majority was to be put in the power of tne minority, had been essayed in vain on Thursday. A reference to th proceed ings of Thursday, will show that a move ment was made to destroy the efficacy of the previous question, by starting an in cidental question on the refusal of certain members to vote. Some members asked to V i.TAii-. 1 oe excused Irom voting, but Mr. Wise of. Virginia refused to vote without asking to wiU wlk over the course with scarcely a be excused.

It was, however, ruled, tHat the House pro ceeded with the call, and decided the main question pending, and take order after wards with regard to ihe incidental ques tion arising out of the contempt. An ap peal, however, was instantly taken, when the present Speaker, Mr. Polk, on Thurs day, referred to this decision of the former Congress, and declared the rule of the House in conformity with it.

Wte give the names of the forty-five anarchs. They will be found, as in a former tesjfcvote during the session, published by us, to consist of Ab- oliton and Harrison men and Nullifiers and White men, almost exclusively. We mark the Abolition and Harrison men in italics Nullifiers and White men in small capitals. It will be found that there is but one staunch republican vote among these names, and we are persuaded that he must have got there under some misconception of the question. NAYS. Messrs. Adams, II.

The editor of the New York Evening Star has caught at a new idea which he seems to think1 will aid the cause of Gen." Harrison, and prevent the total prostration of the opposition. The idea that has in spired him with this hope is, that there is a prospect of a general frontier war to be waged against us by the Indians, and that in consequence ot it the poopte will desire to have at the" head of our natioual affairs a "Military Chieftain," to prevent our be ing overrun by savages. Accordingly he thinks that Gen. Harrison will be sup ported as the military chieftain who is to save the country from destruction by the savap-e irioes. onouia sacn a notion en ter the heads of the people we suspect they would look out for some other "Military Chieftain," than the hero of North Bend and the farmer of Tippicanoe. He Ms proved himself to be very incompetent to contend with either savages or civilized enemies in time ofwar. They would be much more likely in such case to furnish him with a petticoat than to elevate hrmj to. the Presidency. This notiom will not answer the purpose for which it was sug gested, and if the editor of the Star de sires to enlist the' feelings of the people in favoroi the petticoat hero, he will have to suggest some other reason than that ofl having him for a defender of the country against the mroads of the Indians or any other enemy. He says of Gen. Harrison, that "he has served in the Indian border wars, from the asre of cineteen years, com mencing under the intrepid soldier of the revolution, Gen. Wayne he knows the ever cneeriuily repaired to ths standard. 7 7 J This is saying much for his onnorlunities. and With Swch OnnnrlnnifiM ho anKia oooortunities friends should be able t -point us to some 1 has a mind capable of being improved bV the opportunities he lias eninv-d nm thing to show that he is capable of meeting difficulties and surmounting- them by the exercise. of mind.

Never since the great race between l-clipse ano ttenry, has the soortiosr world been so much ex cited. Confident of success, the partisans of Lhe North had for some days past been rrxrjn lihral in their bets in order to induce the Southern Sportsmen to back their fa vorite steed, but without effect. The Southrons understood their game and played it well. Flushed with the antici pations of an easy victory, the bickers of the Northern horse at length were incon- ciilotn wnrtnah tn nrnnose Iarire odus on vu VM a I I the eventthree to two were freely of fered, and as freely accepted, and bets to on enormous amount were consequently made. John Bascomb, a horse of great Southern celebrity, was the selected cham pion of that part of the Union whilst Post Boy, of equal distinction on the turf, was the chosen favorite of the Northern Sports men. At an early hour yesterday the steam boats were crowded with vehicles of every description, from the coach and four down to the humble cart, and with pedestrians of alt sorts and sizes. The road from Brook lyn to the race course presented a most lively scene, and. from the hour of ten to one, a living stream appeared to pass a long it. The number of spectators on the Course is variously estimated from fifteen to twenty thousand, and the scene was one of the most exciting ever witnessed. The backers of Post Boy were prodigal in their offers to bet, and found ready custo mers. At a few minutes before two oVIoclc the bugle sounded a call for the competitors, and the steeds were brought to the start ing post. They both appeared to be in perfect condition. John Bascomb is a bright chesnut, and Post Boy a dark bay. On the tap of the drum they started in beautiful style, and at a rattling p.ice, Post Boy taking the inner track. At the end of the first mile Bascomb took the lead and kept it during the whole heat, coming in at least fifty yards ahead of his antago nist. Neither of the horses appeared the least distressed. The backers of Post By ftill neVeimgfeuftflt.inL ltefatotivh the succeeding heat. Their opponents weVe not slow in accepting their offers, and bets to a considerable amount were a gain made on the event. The time of running the first heat was 7 minutes, 49 seconds, in the following proportions 1st mile, 2 minutes, 2 seconds. 5G do. 2d do. 3d do. 4lh do. do. do. do. 54 57 do. do. 49 At the end of thirty minutes, the horses Were again summoned by the bugle to the starting post. Bascomb made a false start, and ran nearly a quarter of a mile before he was stopped, and being again placed, at the usual signal both started in beauti ful style, Bascomb taking the inner track and leading. Never on any occasion, was a more beautiful race than. this seen. Throughout the whole 4 miles the horses were close on each other. Occasionally Bascomb would increase his speed and leave his rival a few lengths behind, but by the free application of the whip and spur, Post Boy was urged to his former position, although repeated attempts were made to push him ahead of Bascomb, they were always defeated by the consummate Iskill of the latter's rider. The last mile was gloriously contested. Bascomb still continued the even, easy, fox-like pace with whbh he set out, and Post Boy close at his side, straining every nerve to outstrip his adversary, but in vain; they reached the winning post al most neck and neck, but Bascomb siill be ing ahead, was declared the winner. The period in which this heat was run was seven minutes, fifty one and a half se conds, and the time of doing each mile was as follows Miles. 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, Minutes. 2 1 1 1 Seconds 00 57 56 59 1-2 51 1-2 The age of the horses is rising five years, both are beautifully formed, but I'ost Bov appears most powerful. Bas romb was rode by Willis, the groom of Col. Johnson, and lJ0!t Boy by Kirkpa trirlr of great celebrity on the Northern courses. It is generally admitted, that a mATA beautiful race was never run on die Union course, and every body, except the losers, and thev bore tneir reverses wnh great philosophy, left the grpund perfectly Satisfied with the day's sport. 9ud Dau Stockton's Monmouth beat Bathgate's Uipsey, -r "CU1 cors Itasca, and Gibbon's Sky Lark.

The arrival of the ship Congress, Captain Trask, from Vera Cruz, has placed in onr possession papers of that city of the 10th and of the city of Mexi co, of the 7th ultimo. At the latest dates, there hail been no publication in Mexico of fhe capture of Santa Anna, and every thing remained tranquil un der the government established by him, although private letters state that the information of his capture had been re ceived and suppressed. The papers are still full of pompons eulogies of the invincible Mexican army ui lexas; and one paragraph Sinys, there is no doubt that srmy is now on tie Sabine river, where it will definitely adjust the treaty of limits with the United States, adding, that Napoleon had observed, "that treaties were always best obseiv ed that were concluded at the head of an army." The celebrated national bri of war, Vancedor Del Alamo (conqueror of the Alamo, which we beheve was formerly the Brig Paragon, of this port) and the schooner General Cos, it is stated in the papers before us, had sailed for the waters of Texas, for the purpose of pro tecting Mexican commerce and punish ing the ungrateful colonists. Judge Kilis our Charge to Mexico, arrived at Vera Cruz in the sloop of war St. Louis, on the 15lh April; left for Mexico on the 18th and arrived on the 2Sth, where he was cordially re ceived by the resident Americans. The Mexican papers extract from the Matamoras papers of (he 1st April, private letters said to be from officers under General Urea, confirming the in telligence of the massacre of the Texi an prisoners at Goliad, and one of the editors gravely remarks upon the news "Humanity will recoil at this event, as the prisoners had surrendered but it is absolutely necessary to exterminate this race of serpents, who, in an evil the country In addition to this, an official des patch is published by tue Government, addressed by Gen. Urea to Santa Anna, in which is contained the following ighly important extract. AH the prisoners taken in the action at Goliad and the neighboring points, lave been punished according to the circular in relation to that matter." We consider this of the highest im portance, because it clearly demonstrates that the horrid butcheries perpetrated in Texas, have not only been in obedience to the orders of the President of Mexico, but that they have received the sanc tion of the Government ad interim, by whom this despatch is published Can our Government longer hesitate to ac knowledge the independence of Texas when this infamous official publication shall reach them It appears from the official estimates of the Secretary of the Treasury, that the. revenue will jail short at the least $200,000 per month of the amount re quired to carry on the war in Texas a lotie, independent of the civil list and current expenditures of the Govern ment In consequence, arrangements are said to be on foot to farm out the re sources of the custom house to old Spaniards to meet the contingency. A la,w had also been passed declaring the properly of all who had promoted and sustained the war in Texas, whether re sident of Texas or Mexico, responsible for its expenses and one of the editors commenting on this law, argues that all who did not subscribe to the loan to put down the revolution in Texas, are in fact abbettors of it, and come within the meaning of this general act of con fiscation The government had issued a decree declaring that certain of the prisoners tak en in Texas, shall be shot, others ex patriated for ten years, and others con fined to the mines for four years But few remain alive to receive the propos ed punishment. The next accounts from Mexico will be highly interesting, as we shall learn the effect produced on the public mind there, by the account oi the capture of Santa Anna and his troops. That it will produce- revolution, or an attempt at one is morethan probable. N York Courier. PUBLIC EXKUUl'lON.

June tiMg M TIdltor: I feel mrself called upon, as one of the friends of the administration Of Andrew Jackson, to notice a correspon- dent the Raleigh Star. I shall- Wjf irst place proceed to answer the said the fi correspondent, by giving you a correct history of the proceedings .of tno whig meeting, mat was neia nere oh iwuj the 2nd day of May. Now I would nift attempt to do this, if the correspondent had confined himself to trutns, dui ne uas not, and therefore I think it needs- ara an swer to place things in a proper iignt. Yon have seen the proceedings ere this, of the meeting alluded to. in the Register of your city, and you might perhaps infer from the position in which they were placed, in the columns of the Register, that it was numerously attended but sir, I can assure you it was quite to the contra ry so far from it, it was very thinly attend ed. I now will proceed to give yoa a cor rect history of the proceedings, and in do ing so, I s'hall not as the said correspond ent has done, fly the face of nil truth, but shall siricily confine mysefr to the truth, and no thing but the truth. On Tuesday the 12th April a call of a meeong of all those opposed to Mamn Van Buren was made in the most conspi cuous pans uf the Town, by advertise ments posted up, for them to meet on Thursday evening the 1 4th it was on Su perior Court week, and necessarily there was a large number of persons in attend ance; so ofcourse it was not for the want of knowledge of the meeting, that caused it to he so small. However the hour arri ved for them to commence operations, but the people did not come; the lawyers assem bled at the Court Mouse, and waited with anxious expectations of seeing the House fill) 'o overflowing; but alas, as usual, thev wre doomed to sad disappointment; find ing the people would not come up to the farce, (for such it really was,) the bell was norain rung, a thing unusual. in the annnl of whiggery in this place, whigs des patched to ask, beg. yea entreat the peo ple to attend, but they would not. After entreating, begging, and asking for on hour and a halt, they finally succeeded in getting the wondcrous number of 25 1 I and 3 of them v ere friends of Vn Buren, who went as mere spectators the re mainder of the pie-bald sect, were I from your city, an Ex-Governor, who was, I be lieve, "Chief Cook" of the farce; 2 law yers from Perqiiimmons county; 1 lawyer from E izab th City; 2 men from Ply mouth; 10 from this place, and 8 from this County 1 They finally opened the meeting and proceeded to appoint a Chair man, Secretary &c. The next was, to -x plain the purpose of the assembly, and one certain lawyer, distinguished for some thinrrs nrnSii nnd nonrt-J ionk tli tl,,n krs'qt wJiiiJivjLiZerv is composed o; uponlne devotee Head of Andrew Jack son and his supporters; after he had taken his seat, a mothm was made by one of the company, to adjourn as there was so few in attendance, uniil Monday, 2nd of May, it also being Court day; which motion prevailed, and a motion also was made that the Secretary of the farce give public nofiee over the county, inviting people to attend; this however, he did not do, for he knew that if he signed his name to a whiff notice, he would loe his election; be cause the people of this county are too true to themselves to vote for a whig. He is, as you will understand from this, a candi date for the Legislature. Another one of the Company proposed, "as there was a large quantity of talents present, to turn it into a political love feast;" this was, Sot agreed to, so the meeting adjourned Well, Monday 2nd of May came, but n gain the peopfe did not come the bell was rung, and finally after mustering all their forces, after struggling for some -length of time, they had from 35 to 40 the farce was again opened and two of them ad dressed the meeting, but before they had concluded, there was about 20 left. Of all that were in the Court House, there were I suppose about 15 or 20 Van Buren men, and I feel myself safe in saying that was about the number, though there might pos sibly have been less. I have thus given you, Mr. Edifor, of these proceedings7 a correct history, and I now will. proceed to give you an account of the Va4i Esoren meeting, which the said ccrrespondent has thought fit to spenk of as-a complete fail ure. He says "the Vans have for some time been endeavoring to get a meeting;1' Tnis sir I pronounce to be false in the re turn; so far from it, it was only thought of about 1 week previous to the dav appoint ed to meet. He also says 41 notices Avere posted up in various places." This Sir is as far from being true as the one just na med, for there was only one in the county posted up, and some of his own party tore thattlown. He says "great were the ex pectations of the party, and great was their disappointment." Now Sir how can that be possible, when every person knew that. there could not be a large meeting in consequence of its being a busy season of the year, and also a protracted Baptist meeting in Perquimrnons county, and ev ery peTso.i except a few attended that: ano" i a iso that it was not known generally in the county, so this is absurd in the said correspondent of the Star. The whole of the piece fs' destitute of beinr a correct a?-' count of the meeting. I will how inform you of the whole proceedingst About a week previous to the day appointed, theTe Was a notice posted up in the coun'y, call ing a meeting to appoint delegates to Hert ford, tox nominate an elector for this !is trict; accordingly, the meeting convened at Parker's Cross R ads, it Was thought best as there was only about 35 present to adjourn until the next Saturday, which was muster-day, in order to get a larger meeting; consequently the meeting adiour- rred, and met on the next Saturdav. where there was one of the largest meenn.s of a Political character ever held inthecoun- ty as usual, the meeting was not aitogeih--erlear othe factious. set, for there waff about 12 who attended and used every ex .riion to frustrate and break it down, bu eould not.

Melancholy Eventl following ac count of the explosion f the boilers of the Steam Boat John Walker, on the morning of the TO.h irrst. appears in an Extra from the office of the Wilmington Advertiser. Mr. Dickson was much beloved and es teemed, for his industry and courteous behaviour: he had raised himself to res pectability by his own personal talents and exertions, and will be a serious loss to the community. This is the first accident that ever occurred to a Steam Boot, in the wa- ers of North Carolina. STEAM BOAT EXPLOSIONS After our paper went to press, an accident of a mst melancholy cha meter occurred. The Sieam Boat John walker, owned by Doyle O'Hanlmt, Ktqr. w, this morning, uboul ilay. M- I a lignt. mown op, ana maue a complete wreck. lt appears that -he had ruts i a head of steam and run down along side the brig Roque, lay. ne at aiu-nor in the stream, tor the pm-ixfee of towing her down over the .shoals. Soon after making her fast to the hng, ar.d while in the act of heaving up the anchor, the boile;-s burst, simultaneously Mowing out the bow and stern of the boat, which, in a few minutes, sunk and is now almost entirely under water. Capt. A. G, Dickson, who was standing on ihe engine house' by the side of the Engineer, was blown over the stem of the brig, and has noLheen recovered. Damon, a black fireman, who was in the hole and Purdie Jacobs, the pilot, were also killed! Isaac, the Engineer, a black man, was blown hoard the brig, and is dangerously wounded. Prince, a black man, was also slightly wounded. The boat had on board some goods for the inte rior: but wt are not informed who are ihe own ers. The Steamboats Clarendon and Henrietta, are about towing the wreck into the duck. I where she may be got on shore if possible. From the Hrt$t. Ve learn that oor friend calculate on Gen. 'Newland's election by about 500 majority. The Counties ol Butke.' Yaney, Buncombe. Haywood and Macon wi Tail give him a majority, whilst at Ruiherford hi vote will be much stronger than at ihe last election'. The people of the Thsirici should not regard Mr. Giahariisoft and conzning talk about Mi. Van. Btiren. his professions of regard and support. of Gen. Jackson, nor his pledges to con lot m his conduet to tiieir vote upon ihe Presidential ques tion, f.cl them lake a man who will represent them fairly, and whose political leneis oblige him to respect and obey the will of his constitu ents. Dr. Jamxs S. Smith ia nominnterl as the KVc. for on the White Ticket for the Orange DiMrict Tbi ticket is likely to represent tiuly the charac ter of the White party a. compound of old Yea dernliMs. nullifiersand modern whigs not any thing alone, but one thing with other things-together Dr. Smith hay been an uniform and open supporter of Mr. Clay, and yet those who support him talk of southern rights and inteiets! We will, when the ticket ia completed, paint oat its heterogeneous eharactei while thai of the Vah Eur f.n party exhibits a list of tried, uniform, ayd faithful republicans. w EDITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE A friend writes from Surry" We have no. thing here to fear -from White Whiggery the more Mr. Van Buret's claims are discussed, the more his cause seems to take with the people, f have not a doubt thai every man in this county, whopproved of the laie executives measure of President Jacloon, will sustain Mr Van Hi-ken as his successor. Mr. V. B's views on the ut jrc of abolition are entirely satisfactory. The work shop of the coalition, at Washington, mut send forth to ihe -world stronger evidence of his being in favor of abolition, than has, as yet, been seen, before the yeomanry of this county will deser the talented statpman, the profound logician and the American Patriot Van Buren." From Mecklenburg lu 30 years I have not witnessed such exertions as are made by the op. position party. Yet in my humble opinion thry cannot succeed for the best of all reasonsthe Divine Government is against them. I am not prepared lo think that God, who has mer cifully preserved the liberties of our country fof more than half a century, willuo-v consign them to the mercy ol a faction." The account of the dinner at Newbern is ana voidably deferred. m Th Business or Congress The great effort seems lo be, not to do, but to prevent the doing of the public and necessary business. Oppositioa members arc in the constant habit of consuming hours in personal abuse, ano romplamts again the editors of the Globe. If Mr. Blair be the worthless and insignificant personage he is re presented to be, and unworthy of notice or cred it, why is it that thrse honorable gentlemen take so much notice of him, and labor so hard lodisv credit him in the esiimatiorrof the community i The fact is. the Globe is a faithlul public Jour nal records the doings and actions of those who are play ing a disgraceful part; and knowing, as these gentlemen do, that nopaprat Washington it so extensively circuit ed and read among tbi people, whose cause it su ahly and hot:etly es pouses, they use every means in their power, by gross slander nd abuse, to destroy its character and influence. If ihese gentlemen feel so keenly the exposure-, of the Globe, we advfse them to appear under ther own proper names, with their contradictions, and they will soon find wlioe statements are most likely to gain credit with the nation. They have no right to use thrir place in the House, tor venting th-ir maliguitv parti cularly as they can always find, at hand, journals that are ready and willing to aid them in their defence. No day baa yet been fixed for ''adjournment. The ytas and nays have been repeatedly taken on the motion, calling up the resolution, but as it requires two thirds, it has failed. Col. R. C. Parish, formerly of thtf State, has heeri appointed Brigadier Gene ral of the first Brigade of Florida M.lisia. Brevt brig. Gen. Clinch has resigned his commission in the army, in conse quence of being superseded by Gen. Scott, in the command of the forces which were to operate against the 'Semi notes. Gen. Clinch deserves great credit for his con duct during the campaign, and his resig nation is to be regretted It was, howev er, optional with himself. He could at no time have supposed that the Govern ment would breik down the established usages of the army to favor his desires, and dishonor the veteran S-ott to promote a young, though valiant officer. The Editor of theRe tster says "The truo. issue in the Presidential contest is be tween the North and the South the north support Mr. Van Buren because he is froma non-shiveholdingState. The South should vote for Jude White because he if from a shve holdin? State."

The Mechanic of Raleigh are rtquosted to meet at the Cou House, on Friday Evening (ihe 17tb inst.) ai 71-2 o'clock, to make arrangements for celebrating the 4th ot July. A full at tendance is desired. In Mr. Van B wren's .answer to the Whiff ffentleraen of Northampton is to be n 7-7 found the following sentence I do not hesitate to give it td you as my deliberate and wll consHered Opinion, that there are objections to the-exercise of this power (the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia) against f hie wishes nf the Slave holding S ates, as imperative in their na ture and obligations, in regulating the conduct of public men, as the most pal pable want of constitutional power would be.1' In the report of the committee up on the same subject, is to be found the fol lowing language your committee have abstained from an examination of this ques Mi-rnii;titiitirii:i! nrtvr nf ConSTCSS AWlih sKverv in thoD:strk-t of Col'im-!0 Win) because they were not instructed to h-t. But they have no hesitation to sav that in the view they have taken of the whole question, the obligations ot Con cress not to act on this subject areas ful ly bindi i and 'insuperable; as a positive consritutional interdict or an open acknowl edgement of the want of power." Can language be more explicit and unequivo cal than this 1 Yet is Mr. Van Buren ac rused of a wish "to conceal his opinions, to ride on both sides of a sapling," and! the Southern men who concur in tnese sentiments are charged with a disposition tit the rights of the Sou.h and to compronut "to join in a game of duplicity." Suc'i a charge otily evinces the rancor ot feeling, and want of candor, on the part of those irAo prefer it. Although Mr. Giles has no claims on our liberality, as he might endeavor to make more out of a refusal to publish his piece, than his readers can possible-make of it; we give it a place under his own signature in our paper of to day. We leave, his statements to our correspondent B. and if he be not more forcible with his tongue, than he is with his pen, neither those who shall accept of his modest chal lenge or their cause will have much to fear at his hands. Judge White is the oandi. diate Jor "the South," whilst Mr. Van Bu ren is supported by the Republicans every where and as the patriotic citizens ol Mecklenburg prefer the claims of one who addresses himself to the Union, rather than of him who appeals to sectional feel ings, we doubt not they will continue their support to Martin Van Buren, the name of Mr. John Giks to. the contrary notwith standing. To the Editor of the Standard: Col. Wh ite The last Standard con tains a letter from one of your Charlotte correspondents over the signature of Z he professes to report in part a speech that was delivered by me, before the freemen of Meckii nburg at their last county court. If, it is a matter of sufficient public interest, that my speech should be reported for the Standard; I am desirous, that the report be correct your correspondent did not, certainly, report from his own notes, he could not have favored me with his pre sence your correspondent reports, "there vere two charges made by Mr. Giles which merit a special notice." He (meaning me) says that the Van Buren party is made up of all the old Federalists, and that, that party were always consider ed Tories." This charge, which in the opinion of Z. requires a special notice may be divided- F i ret, that I stated of what the Van Buren party was composed -Secondly, that the individuals of th" party were tories. Now, neither division is Vrue I made no statement as to the ele ments of the Van Buren party. The word Tory was not used by me, either directly or indirectly your correspondent remarks "that 1 must have forgotten the chivalry of Mecklenburg, tvhen, I was denouncing the Federalists I would re mark th it the freshness of my recollection of the proud and gallant spirit of Meck lenburg, induced me to address her intelli gent kons. if, by the Federal party, your correspondent means, that old, intelligent and highly respectable party, which (be fore man worship became the order of the day) formed one of the grand divisions ot our country, then that party was not de nounced nor did 1 mention the Federal pjirty the intelligence and large amount of patriotism which that party brought in to the ac ive service of our common coun try, must and will be properly valued und esteemed, as long as our free institutions exist.

His letter contains this expression with what due modety does Mr. Giles now charge Gen.

Z observes "some of us view it aslH'on upon Arkansas, and thus appeal :o great indignity for panic whig orators, hot of this District to be strolling about our country delivering political lectures, at tempting .to dictate to us." From the no ble and triumphant lead which the free men of Mecklenburg m.tde on the 20th May 1775.

MICHIGAN AND ARKANSAS. The City was amazed yesterday morn ing, on awakening, to see the ftjg ot the House of Representatives still flying. The House had been in travail throughout the niht, in Committee of the Whole, to give birth to Michigan and Arkansas About midnigm4lichigan was delived from the hands oFttvedo tors of thpposition, who under preteftofrof seeiag that it came right into the worldVwrf in truth labor ing to postpone and djffeaHlJie means ol giving it existence. JPfter all trhobstacles thus presented ware, in succeAsRmv put down, the same sort of warfare was made against Arkansas, it will be seen that Mr. Adams and Mr Siatle, of Hie abolition faction, tried to press the Missouri ques- the sectional feeling of the north, so as to excite the old feu.d which had endangered the Un on. But the democrats of the north Irowned upon this faetipUs attempt. They united with their .democratic brethren in the south, to vote down all the incendiary movements. It was to effect this patriotic purpose that it became necessary to sii throughout the night, and conquer the op position by giving them time to break themselves 4own by the process of bodily exhaustion. The previous Question could not be called to stop debate, as it was in the Corrrrftittee of the Whole; and Mr; Wise, it will be seen, proclaimed in the House that he had it in his power, and he was resolved to speak until the special order of the 'succeeding day should come up; the effect of which he supposed would be to cut off final action on the Arkansas bill He kept his word, and like his friend Graves, who spoke the North Carolina question into Sunday, he beld out to the hour, which he supposed would compel the committee to rise and leave the ques tion of Arkansas undisposed of. He spoke many hours against time, to reach the goal he had in view the hour when the Spea ker usually, under the rules, takes the chair to open the business of the day. When Mr. Wise reached this Hour, he called for the Speaker; rose in his place in tne nan. pointed 10 ine nrst ruie oi me House, which says "He shall take the wrucn me jtouve snait nave aajwrnm uu the preceding dy" -and said that as the; ti use naa not adjournea on tne preceea-(tne nig uoy iu iuc uauai uuut, ui uuu mm continuous session, he could pot,, ngamst the expressed will of the body which; in, Committee of the Whole, had refused toted, unparalleled in the world, and corn- rise, take the chair and put an -end to the tuneuons oi tne i ommiuee. i nis course, though exclaimed against, was supported by the case of the continuous session held when the federal party attempted to-defeat theeleeiion of Mr. Jefferson some of the States being tied on the vote of their de legation, and others refusing to ballot. In this state of suspense, the House refused to adjourn, and went on to ballot for many successive days without adjournment. The effect of the committee rising, still leaving the Arkansas bill pending, and subject to amendment and debate, in Com mittee of the Whole, would havebeen to renew, during the next week, the scenes of the present one. Arkansas would have been left With the millstone of opposition still swung upon its neck, without any hope of deliverance from it, but by renew in? the attempt to set it out; which, if Mr. Wise's plan had succeeded, would have been again andaiin defeated by speeches atraiiist time, brin of other special or lffsr. it witnin tne scone rs of the House. As the session is now drawing to a close, this was looked to as the only way of defeating the right of the States, entitled to a place in the Union, from obtaining that right, so as to exert it in the next Presidential elec tion. This was the motive.which induced ;the joint effort of the a.bolitiori&s and nul lifiers to deprive two Ststflrbf their most i Upon all the votes on the dilatory amend ments, on the committees rising and on adjournments, the abolitionists and nul li fiers were seen voting together. The ul tras of both ends of the opposition clung together throughout, while the friends of the administration and Mr. Van Buren adhered with equal perseverance and zeal to the support oi both the northern and the southern Slates. I hey considered them twins, and were resolved that the same ses sion should witness their deliverance from the committee. They succeeded. Next Monday, we predict, will add two new stars to the banner of the Union. General Speight, who presided in the chair on this trying occasion, distinguish ed himself for the patient, firm and able manner in which he disharged its respon sible duties We trust that the inflexible determina tion with which the republican majority maintained its purpose, will convince the tors that nothing is to be gained by O

Surely every true hearted, genuine American will consider it as a privilege and honor,' and not as a tavor bestowed on the Socie'y, to have such an opportnnity of displaying his gra titude and veneration for the memory of Washington.

From the New Orleans Bulletin May 27. TEXAS. A gentleman of high respectability, ar rived last evening in this r.ity, informs us that Joseph Baker formerly editor of the Telegraph, printer at San Felipe, having been sent, after the bat'.le of San Jacinto, to the Mexican army, left the division under the command of Felasola, at the Colorado, on the 8th inst. Felasola observed to Mr. Baker, that as General Santa Anna was a prisoner, he did not acknowledge him as general of the forces then in the field, but would recog nize him as President of the Mexican na tion, and as such he would obey his order to withdraw the troops, and would execute it as soon as possible. He said he had no doubt but Congress would acknowledge the independence o Texas, lor it was a country the Mexican people did not want; and although it has beeex4ipred and known to them for one hurSred nndiiSpearSf.and though a good conmry ior tne agriculturists, it A'as not one adapted to the habits of the Mexican peoljlrherc bem:? too many flies and musquiWes for the convenience of raising stock. He acknowledged that te present cam paign in Texas had terminated to the great disgrace of Mexico that the cruel massa ere of Col. Fannin's division was unjusti fiable, and would meet with the just indig nation of the civilized world. He further said, that the invasion of Texas was alone projected and carried on by the ambition of Santa Anna that had it not been for this. Texas would have been admitted a State of the Mexican republic at the time she made the application through her agent Gen. S. F. Austin, in 1833, and at this time would have had a local government suited to her warns. He was well aware, he said, that the Thsxians were receiving aid from the citi zens of the United States, and that they had the sympaties of that nation. Indian Affairs. Much anxiety is felt for the command of the late Capt. Hollo man, of the Florida Volunteers, now un der Lt. Walker. Early in thecampaig-n they were sent upon the very hazardous service of building a Block House on the Withlacooche, a few miles from it's mouth. It seems they execnted the work, and have ever since been hemmed in by Indian, so that scarcely a man has been able to move beyond the limits of their defences. The volunteers are without the means of sub sistence, except Corn, and that in a dama ged state. Cf It i& said these troops have been relieved. The last intelligence from Middle Flo rida is, that the people are flying in every direction by land and water. It is the in tention of Guv. Call to prosecute the war during the summer. DISTRESSING. Mr. Webster, in a late speech in the Senate, remarked that he looked upon it as an anamoly in the history of governments,- an extraordinary occasional, accidental case, a phenome non, that more money had been suffered to accumulate in the Treasury, than could be possibly disbursed.", There is certain ly no doubt of the fact. Th great diffi cul'y with governments has generally been to raise a sufficient amount of money to meet their expenses; and. to our gov eminent alone, and under the present ad ministration, so far at least as relates to modern times, it has been lelt to have in the Treasury an amount which has occa sioned a controversy and contest with re gard to the proper mode ol disbursing it This, our opponents regard, or pretend to regard, as a great and alarming evil. Had those who have opposed the adminis tration been able to carry their policy and schemes into effect, we should havebeen inumwe Tfi saved any trpuhle on this subject. They were pursuing a course of policy in ap plying the public funds to local objects lO such an extent that had it been persisted in, instead of having m the treasnry ana mount of money auncrepi to cause arty controversy with regard to it disburse ment, we should nave been deeply m debt. Bat happily the veto power was in hands which knew now to wield it in such a manner as to check the course of a policy which was leading to a state bordering up on bankruptcy, instead jof afCuenceaml an oversowing treasury. palt.

i iff r POK'IKT. From th? Edinburg Magazine. THE BRIDE. ThebriJal vei' hangs o'er her brow, The ring of gold is on her finger jjer lips have breathed the marriage vow, Why should: she at the alter linger? Why wears her gentle brow a shade, Why Aim her eye, when doubt is over, Vhy does her splendid form for aid, JLean tremblingly upon her lover Is it a feeling of regret, For solemn vows .o lately spoken Is it a fear scarce owned as yet That her new ties may -soon be broken Oh no such cases darken not The cloud that's swiftly pa sing o'er her Her's is a fair and happy lot, v. And bright the path that lies before her. Her hpart has long been freelv given To him who now her hand possessing, Through patient years has fondly striven To merit well the precious bles&ing. It is the thought of untried years That, to her spirit strongly clinging, Is dimming her blue eyes viith tears, And o'er her lace a shade is fliuging. It is the thought of duties now. Of wishes that may prove deceiving; Of all she hopes', yet tears to do, ex Of all she love and all she's leaving. It is the thought of by gene days, Of lhem. ihe fond, the genlle-hearted, Who meet not nor her tearful gaze, The dear, the absent, the departed Oh who can marvel that the bride, Should leave the sacred altar weeping? Or who would seek those tears :o chide, That fresh and green her heart are keeping Not he who with a lover's care, And husband's pride, is fondly guiding Her trembling steps, Tor he can share The gentle thoughts that need no hiding. Soon love for him those tears will chase, And smiles re light her eyes with gladness, And none will blame who truly trace, To its pure source her transient sadness. From the N, Y. Star. t CUOCKETT. Tho' sad was his fate, and mournful the story, The deeds of the hero shall never decay He fell in a can6e dear to freedom and elory, And fought to the last like a lion at bay. When rang the loud call from a nation oppress'd, And her Valleys, with slaughter of brave men, were red 'Twas the pride of poor Crockett, to help the distress'd And the watch word in Texas was heard, Go Ahead. Hia death-dealing rifle no longer shill shower Its unerring balls on the proud haughty foe Cut down in the spring time of lile's budding flower His tombstone, alas! ace thy walls, Alamo. Then may we not hope, since valor has crown ed him, And o'er him bright fame her mantle has spread, In the soul's parting hour good angles were round him, Pid his spirit arise to the skies, "Go Ahead." Advertising a State Signor Gorasti za, th.a Mexican Minister, has cautioned every person not to trust Texians. It is something like an advertisement we fre quently, see "Whereas, my wife Sally Texas" has absconded from my bed and board, therefore take notice, I shall pay no debts of her contracting after this date." Sally Texas may answer thus "Where as, Signor Go-rastiza Mexico, having no bed nor board of his own that I care for, this is to give notice, that h;e had better pay his own debts before he iefuses to pay mine."

Ueremonies are duierent Jn every coun try, but true politeness is eery where the same. -Ceremonies, whiqjn. take up so much of ourvattention, ayonly artificial helps, which ignorance apumts in order to imitate politeness, which is the result of good sense and goodjnature.
