gfg" Election, Thursday, August lst.a.Re peet to Gen. Taylor.

Agreeably to notice, a meeting of the citizens ofWilmington was held at Masonic Hall, on Monday,the 15th inst., for the purpose of testifying their sorrow at the loss our country has sustained in thedeath of Gen. Zachary Taylor.

Col. Jas. T. Miller was called to the Chair, andJ. G. Green appointed Secretary

On motion of Thomas Loring, a Committee of five

was appointed to draft resolutions suitable to thepresent melancholy occasion. The Committee wereThomas Loring, D. B. Baker, Robert H. Cowan, R.B. Wood, and Robert Strange, Jr.

On motion of Mr. London, the Chairman of themeeting, Col. Jas. T. Miller, was added to the Com

mittee.A resolution was then adopted that the Committee

report at adjourned meeting, to be held in thisHall, this afternoon, t & .'.wv.

5 o'clock, P. M.The meeting assembled according to adjournmentThe Committee to whom wa referred the duty of

preparing resolutions for the adoption of the meet-

ing, made the following report :

I. Resolved, That we have heard with deep sorrow of thedoath of Gen. Zachary Taylor, late President of the Uni-

ted States ; and that whilo wo may differ in political mat-

ters, it is with one accord that we all desire to pay a heart-

felt tribute of respect to the memory of tho deceased, and tofeel that all party opposition is merged in aeommon grief for

the doparture of the illustrious dead.2. Resolved, That while we bow with reverend submission

to the will of Almighty God believing that all his dispensa-

tions are in goodness and morcy we express ,our sorrow for

this great national los3, in the death of the Patriot and theHero, and sympathise with the afflicted family of the deceas-

ed, who have to deplore the loss of husband, father, andfriend.

S. Resolved, 1 hat we respectfully recommend to tne cm- -

tens of Wilmington to set apart such day of the present. tt, f Arrnmnu maT designate, as

server and other Whig organs in the East, most em-

phatically deny that Got. Manly is in favor of abolishing the - Federal basis. Of course they do, andthis, too, in the face of the fact half disguised, it istrue, but still not hidden which appears in the com-

munication of a correspondent of the Greensboro1 Pa-

triot, and is copied into the Observer. The correspondent is describing the meeting at Salem, and hethus reports Got. Manly's remarks in regard to theSchool Fund :

" He then commenced a review of the public acts of Col.Reid, bj calling the attention of the auditory to his (Col.R.'s) rotes in the State Legislature on the bill establishingComtnon Schools. He gave a brief history of the origin andobject of this school fund. He said the fund was created toschool the white children of the State, and particularly thepoor and ignorant portion ; that the votes of Col. Reid hadbeen to divert it from this purpose, and had been in part themeans of this fund being divided among the counties accord-

ing to federal numbers, instead of being divided according tothe white population, as should have been done. That bythese votes of Col. Reid's the West had lost thousands ofdollars annually; and thus the wealthy slaveholding countiesof tho East, where they woro able to send their children &

broad to school, received an undue proportion of the SchoolFund."

And again, in speaking of Gov. Manly's remarksin regard to " Free Suffrage," he says :

" He next showed up, to the satisfaction of all, Col. Reid'shobby of ' free suffrage' that if the privilege of voting forSenators was allowed to every man now entitled to vote for

a member of the House of Commons, it would not, as Col.

Rkid contends, equalize the right of suffrage. For illustra- -

VSSlaZhW;

Burke and McDowell, with 4000 voters, are only entitled toone Senator. This is a glorious reforovindeed ! Yet Reidwas opposed to any change in the basis of representation toremedy this GROSS INJUSTICE !'

Here we have a Whig account of the meeting atSalem, written by a Whig and to a Whig paper, inwhich Gov. Manly is reported as having denouncedCol. Reid for having voted to give the East her fairproportion of the School Fund, according to Federalnumbers. And again, we find that Gov. Manly cha-

racterized the basis of representation as a gross injustice, and charged upon Mr. Reid for being 41 opposed to any change in the basis of representation toremedy this gross injustice!" Yes, the adherenceto the present basis was charged upon Mr. Reid asa gross injustice.

Now, with these facts 6taring them in the face,and thc certaintv tnat othe must soon be devcloncd. '

The recent passages of the British steamship Asiaand American steamer Atlantic have excited greatinterest. From the log of both vessels we learn thatthe distance run each day was as follows :

It is stated that the engines of the Asia are undergoing alterations for the better, and it is expectedthat her next performance will place her above allcompetitors.

The Irish crops promise well. The Repeal Association met again on Monday. The rent declaredwas 17 6s 8id. Mr. John O'Connell has writtento the papers, denying the charge that he is lookingout for a government situation. lie says that hiwould not accept any government offer whatever.

Since the 1st of January, 26 vessels have sailedfrom Limerick to Canada, with 4.113 souls: 25 sailedfor the United States, with 3.330 souls making inall 7,443, and showing the emigration to Canada andthe United States to be nearly equal. The total num-ber of emigrants for the year 1849. to the States andCanada, was 11,554.

There is talk of American manufacturers settingup factories in the west of Ireland !

There are continued rumors of theof the potato blight, but it would seem that there isno real ground for fear or alarm. A similar rumorexisted about the same time last year, but it provedto be without any real foundation.

In France, the increase of tbe President's salaryhas been finally voted on and carried. This is con-

It is also said that Narvaez had. at a ballgiven by the Prince de Carini. the Neapolitan Min-ister, offered a gross insult to the American Ambas-sador, who had approached to salute him. "J willnot have anything to say to one, shouted out Narvaez." icho represents a nation that harbors pirates and encourages public jelomes" Having uttered thesewords in a tone loud enough to be heard all over theroom, fsarvaez rumped the American Plenipotentia-ry, who was at once ucut." by all the Spaniardspresent.

Accounts from Lisbon, Portugal, are to the 19thof June. The United States frigate Independenceand steamer Mississippi, from Gibraltar, entered theTagus on the morning of the 19th. It appears theyhad reported themselves at the rock as bound forLisbon for the collection of claims, but it was tho'tat Lisbon that no immediate acts of coercion will beemployed against the Portuguese government.

The position of Rome is unsatisfactory. The cityis under much excitement, the police are under Aus-trian authority.

At Naples, on the 18th of June, a part of Grenal-gie- s,

Late krom New Mexico. Candidates for OfficeMr. White's Child alive. The St. Louis Intelligen-cer of the 8th brings us the following important andinteresting inteltlgeuce from Santa Fe ana the Plains,an item or two of which has before reached us bytelegraph :

F. X. Aubrey has just got in from New Mexicoand brings information very late and interesting fromthat region. A State government is no doubtfully organized ere this, and the next arrival.in all probility, will be that of senators and congressmen trom that self-mad- e State, on their way toWashington to claim a part in the government ofthe anairs ot the United Mates.

Mr. Aubrey left El Paso on the 1st of June, andSanta Fe on the 12th, and arrived at .Independenceon the night of the 3d of July. His party consistedof 45 men, 10 wagons, and 200 mules. He saw In-dians on the plains in great numbers. The Osagesmade a bold attempt to run off his mules, but onlysucceeded in getting one horse.

An election for State officers was to be held on the20th of June. Of course, from this it is certain thatthe Convention had completed its work and formeda Constitution for the State of New Mexico. Everyoffice seems to be contested in an animated mannerby the neophytes of New Mexico. Henry Connellyand Thomas Voca were candidates for Governor ;Manuel Alvarez and Ceran St. Vrain for Lieut. Gov-ernor ; Wm. S. Messeny and Hugh N. Smith forCongress. The New Mexicans entered into the spir-it of the election with much enthusiasm. The candidates for the U. S. Senate are Major R. II . Weight--man, Capt. Reynolds, of the U. S. A., W. Z. Angneyand Joab Haughton.

About 400 wagons were met on the plains for theSanta Fe and Chihauhau trade. The Indians haverecently committed depredations themany

Among other items onews brought by Mr. Aubrey is this one, tfiat the lit-tle girl of Mrs. White is not killed, but is in thehands ot the Apaches. Rumors of this kind havefrequently before reached us, and though much doubtis still entertained by many, we hope it my provetrue and the child be regained.

The Utah Indians have forfeited the treaty theymade with Col. Calhoun.

Tuesday evening, the 9th inst.; the members of the R.!

Cabinet addressed a joint note to Mr. f illmork informing him of the fact, to which he returned ananswer, expressive of his sincere grief at receiving

melancholy intelligence, and annoucing his in

tention to communicate it to Congress at the earliestmoment, and also to appoint a time for taking the

oath of office prescribed to the President of the Uni

States.Next morning Mr. Fillmore tendered his resigna

tion as President of the Senate, in the following

words : .T , ,

The Senate resolved to attend the inauguration at12 o'clock, and appointed a committee of three tomite with the House Committee in waiting on thePresident to inform him of their readiness to receiveIiim. The Senate then proceeded to the hall of theHouse of Representatives, and soon after the Presi-dent entered, accompanied by the Cabinet, the Mar-

shall of tho District, &c. The Speaker stated thatthe oath of office would now be administered to thePresident of the United States, by Chief JusticeCranch, whereupon the Chief Justice administeredthe oath, thc President pronouncing the words in aclear and firm voice, as follows :

I. Millard Fillmore, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of tho United States fand will, to the best ot my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United btates.

During the administration of the oath, the members of both Houses remained standing. Immediate-ly after, the President retired, and the Senate re-

turned to their chamber. The following messagewas then communicated, by the hands of Mr. Geo.P. Fisher :

and of the House of Representatives :

Eloquent eulogies were delivered in both Houses,and a joint committee appointed to make arrange-ments for the funeral, which took place on Saturdaylast, at 12 o'clock. The procession was a mile anda half in length, and the ceremonial of the most sol-

emn and impressive character. It was the first occasion where a President of the United States haddied during the session of Congress, and the proceed-ings were invested with peculiar and unwonted in-

terest. The pall-beare- rs were :

Hon. Henry Clay. Hon. T. II. Benton.tion. .Lewis Oass. Hon. Daniel Webster.Hon. J. M. Berrien. Hon. Truman Smith.Hon. R. C. Winthrop, Hon. Lynn Boyd.Hon. Jas. McDowell. Hon. S. F. Vinton.Hon. Hugh White. Hon. Isaac E. Holmes.G. W. P. Custis, Esq. Hon. R. J. Walker.Chief Justice Cranch. Jos. Gales, Esq.Major General Jesup. Major General Gibson.Commodore Ballard. Brig. Gen. Henderson.All business was suspended, the public offices were

draped in black, minute guns were fired, and everymanifestation of national mourning was made.

On Thursday, Hon. W. R. King, of Alabama, waschosen President of the Senate by a unanimous vote.He is virtually Vice President of the United States,and would be President in case of Mr. Fillmore'sdeath. He made a very appropriate address upontaking his seat.

On Monday, after some votes of condolence, &c.the Senate took up the adjustment bill, and Mr. Bu-tler concluded his argument in opposition to it. After some further motions, the bill was reported tothe Senate with the amendments agreed to. Thequestion was then on concurring in the amendments.

The first was on Mr. Soule's amendment for ad-

mitting the territories as States with or without sla-

very, and it was agreed to.The amendment prohibiting the territories from

passing any law establishing or excluding Africanslavery was next considered, and was agreed toyeas 27, nays 25.

The amendment providing for appeals to tho 6a--

premo Court was concurred in.All the amendments were agreed to.Mr. Benton offered an amendment in regard to

the limits of Texas. He was opposed to the bounda-

ry proposed by the bill, and he was also opposed tocombining it with other matters. He spoke againstthe bill in a general way.

The House passed a bill granting the frankingprivilege to Mrs. Taylor. It then took up the Gal- -

phin case, and finally passed Mr. Burt's resolutionby a vote of 116 to 63. The resolution is as follows:

Resolved, That the act of 1818 did not authorise the Sec-

retary of the Treasury to pay interest on said claim, and thatits payment was without authority of law and without pre-cedent.

Mr. Jones asked the unanimous consent of theHouse to introduce a proposition resolving that theparties who receive, the interest in the Galphin case,6hould pay the same back into the treasury of theU. S.

Objection was made, and the House having refu-

sed to suspend the rules, the resolution lies over.

The resolution of censure on the President was with-

drawn, on account of the fearful circumstanceswhich have occurred. The contested election case

from New Mexico was taken up in Committe of theWhole, and Mr. McGaughey made a speech of anhour in favor of the right of Hugh N. Smith to aseat as delegate. Mr. Ashe obtained the floor inopposition, but yielded to an adjournment.

At Last. Gen. B. M. Edney, of this State, hasreceived thc appointment of Consul to Palermo, mSicily. The General has been hunting some crumbof comfort ever since old Zach got in, and was, nodoubt, very hungry.

position of tho new Cabinet it is impossible yet to

speak, unless from surmise. All accounts agree in

assigning the post of Secretary ot btatetomr. Web-

ster, provided that gentleman will accept, which is the

considered doubtful. Various gentlemen are spoken

of for the other offices in the Cabinet ; among others,

Ex. Governor Graham, of this State, who is mention-

ed in connection with the Navy Department ; Gov. ted

Crittenden, of Kentucky, with the office of Attor-

ney General; and Mr. Corwin with the Home De-

partment. One thing seems agreed upon that thenew Cabinet is to be selected from the old Clay andWebster wing of the Whig party and anotherthing is equally certain, that it may easily be better than its predecessor, and cannot well be worse

We await the developments which must soon come.

P. S. The Washington correspondent of the Bal

timore Sun under date of the 16th inst., says that itis now definitely settled that the new Cabinet ofPresident Fillmore will be composed of the followingnamed gentlemen :

Robert C. Wisthrop, Secretary of State.Samuel F. Vinton, Secretary of the Interior.

Editorial Courtesy.We oursclf set up no peculiar pretentions to cour--

Editors ought to observetoward, and exact from, each other, all the courtesies which regulate the intercourse of gentlemen inprivate life ; and if unworthy characters creep intothe profession, who will not abide by such rules,they ought to be regarded as tabooed men, beyondthe pale of civilization, to say nothing of friendly intercourse.

We learn from two of our delegates to the Conven-tion- ,

that the Company was organized by the election of the following officers :

President John M. Morehead.Secretary and Treasurer John W. Kirkland.Chief Engineer Maj. W. Gwinn.Directors. William C. Means, John B. Lord,

ham, Gen. B. Trollinger, Gen. R. M. Saunders,Dr. A. J. DeRosset, A. T. Jerkins.

We also understand that it was resolved to carrythe Road by the South side of Raleigh, in the man-

ner most favorable to forming a junction with theWilmington Road at Goldsboro1. The interest infavor of carrying it by the North of Raleigh, so asto unite it with the old Raleigh and Gaston Road,was defeated. If the Raleigh and Gaston Road wantsa junction, it will have to build up to the CentralRoad not the Central Road to it. We learn thatthe feeling in the West about Salisbury and theregion thereabout is very strong in favor of Wil-

mington.

lion and a half of dollars. A large number of thebuildings destroyed were old affairs, and would short-ly have been pulled down at any rate. Had this nothave been the case, the loss would have been muchmore severe. There are so many buildings goingup in various parts of the city, that it is found im-

possible to obtain either workmen or materials forthe speedy rebuilding of the burnt district. Anynumber of brick-layer- s, brick-maker- s, &c., can ob-

tain employment, and we should think there wouldbe considerable demand for lumber.

might be, in certain cases, imprisoned, and, if foundincorrigible, hired out the very game law for whichGen. Harrison voted in the senate of Ohio. In Mr.Badger's celebrated Granville Speech, in 1840, inaetenamg uen. Harrison's vote in iavor of thislaw, he said :

The mode of disposing of offenders, proposed inOhio, ts not new in North Carolina. By our own law,

man convicted of being a vagrant is directed to behired out for the costs. This law has been in forcesince 1784, and the statute of which it now forms asection was read three times in both houses of thoGeneral Assembly, and passed, so late as the sessionof 1836-'3- 7. Yet, you hear persons declaiming a--gainst Harrison who voted for this very law."

INow be it known that Charles Manly, the Whigcandidate for Governor, endorsed this very language,in 1840, as one of the members of the Whig CentralCommittee, and recommended Mr. Badger's 6peecfi

tne above extract included to tne "mienuve perusal " of the people of the State. Surely Mr. Man-- .ly must be hard run, when he thus stultifies himselfby resorting to such arguments against uoi. item.

We copy the above from the Standard ot the lztnJuly, 1848. Mr. Manly pursued the same coursetowards Col. Reid in this matter, two years since;that he is pursuing now ; and still Col. Reid gained

i a? Li A 1.votes. The Governor ana nis partisans ougui io ooashamed of such conduct. Why do they back outfrom a discussion of principles, and resort to suchrlow demagogueism as this? Because, in the firstplace, they nave no principles iav win eiuu mtest ot discussion, ana Because, seconuiy, iney enter-tain such a poor opinion of the people's intelligence,mat iney minK iney can wors upon mem to moreadvantage with such stuff as this.

1 he W big papers state that Col. Keid voted to hireout and whip ''poor men." This is false, and these

know it. He voted against repealing a goodJaper8 law passed by our revolutionary forefathers.tor whom the Kegister professes so much reverenceand which provided that persons who had no 44 honestcalling," and who 44 sauntered about, endeavoring

themselves by gaming or other unduemeans," should be taken up, dealt with, and made towork. Does it follow, because a man is poor, that heis a vagrant ? Is a poor man one who has no 44 hon-

est calling " who 44 saunters about " in idleness andmeanness or one who lives by '; gaming or otherundue means V So says the Register and Times, andso argues Gov. Manly ' Such statements and sucharguments are insults to all the ''poor men" in theState, and in their name we repel these insults withthe contempt and indignation which their authors borichly deserve.

If all the "poor men" in the State will vote forCol. Reid, Gov. Manly is welcome to the balance.

The truth is, Col. Reid has always been the friendand champion of the poor. He started the issue ofEqual Suffrage for their benefit, and he still advo-

cates it, though it was opposed by Gov. Manly andsneered at by the Register and other Whig papers.He wishes to give the poor men, who own no land,equal privilego at the ballot-bo- x with the landhold-ers : but Gov. Manly and his partizans are opposedto this. Judge ye. honest poor men of the State, whoare your friends Col. Reid, who would enlarge yourliberties and rights, or Gov. Manly and his backers,who would keep you as you are, disfranchised, anddeprived of the privilege of voting for Senators!

44 The proprietors of the Nashville daily newspapers have suspended operations until the excitementwhich is now in our midst subside issue this Extra.In doing which they are happy to announce that,from the reports of the interments, the epidemic ison tne aecrease : and, with proper care and attentionon the part of the citizens, have strong hopes thatthe city and neighborhood will soon be enabled toshow a 4 clean bill of health.' "

An incomplete list is given of the deaths on the 3dand 4th, including 48 names and it is added :

44 Many of our most respectable and influentialcitizens have been stricken down by the fell destroy-er among whom we may mention Mr. Pcabody, ofUnion 6treet : Mr. John Marshall ; Mr. Apple ofthe firm of Apple & Co., Clarke street ; Mr. Averite,assistant to J. B. Johnson, on the Square; MissGoss, of College street ; Mr. McClelland, of the Ad-

vocate office and many more. The disease is notconfined to any particular location, but seems tohave taken a general range throngfi all quarters ofthe city. The corporation are burning tar, &c, indifferent parts of the city. Guns have been firedin many elevated parts. Business is generally sus-

pended, and every thing about the city wears a set-

tled gloom'The deaths on Friday, 5th inst, are 6aid to have

amounted to sixty. On the 6th there were nearlyone hundred. At the prison the disease was on theincrease. It is more fatal, malignant and rapid thanit has ever been known there.

A number of deaths have taken place at DrennonSprings. Ky.

At Memphis. July 4, tears were entenainea oi tnecholera. There were said to be two cases there onWednesday previous.

There have been 3 cases of cholera, two of whichproved fatal, at Chilicothe, Ohio.

sort of intemperance.Specimen Lawyers. G. W. Niles and N. W. Bo-ber- ts,

Soft and fair goes far," is as good a maxim in politics as other things. A mere unsubstantiated contradiction is simply "sound and fury, signifyingnothing neither does it gain emphasis or credibility by being headed, "False Reports Base Attemptsto Deceive the People,'1'' &c. &c, which are only words0f courset and 0f the customary vocabularv of aparty which makes arrogant pretensions to all therefinement in the world, leaving little or none for" the rest of mankind."

fiSJ-M- r. Reid voted against the introduction ofthe slavery restriction clause into thc Oregon bill,but finding that it was forced into the bill, he considered it his duty to take the bill as a whole ratherthan leavo the territory without a government, be- -

lioving that, as the territory of Oregon lay severalhundred miles above the line of the Missouri Com--jpromise, it was in accordance with that arrangement.This is tho whole history of the matter out of whichour Free Soil friends, the Whigs, try to make so muchcapital against Mr. Reid. By the way, when wesay our Free Soil friends, the Whigs, wo wish to beunderstood as alluding only to the wire-worker- s;

the great majority of thc Whig people are faithfulto thc country and the South, and, we believe, willjoin us in electing David S. Reid Governor of NorthCarolina.

President Jb'lllmorc.Few men have ever been placed in a position of

greater embarrassment than thc new President of theUnited States. Succeedine to a course of policy ofthc most ruiuous character, and without the prestigeof high talents or military fame to enable him towield an influence or carve out a career of his own,it will be almost impossible for him either to advanceor retreat. Of course, everybody knows that Mr.Fillmore owed hia elevation to the position of VicePresident to tho popularity of Gen. Taylor, withwhom he was associated upon the Whig ticket; and,consequently, the friends of the late President willlook upon him as morally bound to carry out theviews of his predecessor, to whose place he has acci-

dentally succeeded. A persistance in Gen. Taylor'spolicy will be virtual suicide an abandonment of itwill be little hotter, as it will array the Taylor wingof the Whig party against him. Besides this, Mr.Fillmore's previous course has proved conclusivelythat his political affinities are with the Free Soilcrs.They will demand of him a redemption of what theywill be apt to consider his pledges, at the same timethat the South will look upon him and his coursewith considerable suspicion, and grant him far lessallowance than it was disposed to accord to GeneralTaylor.
