The 4th of July broke in upon ua i unclouded splendor, and our village wo the aceuu of incessant bustle and g&yct flreni dawn till dawn again. At 11 A J the procession frem the Istituto enter? the Presbyterian church, which ass a ready crowded almost to suffocation. Wit tho exception of the pt'vs occupied by tb Cadet*, the wholvt floor of the church an two?thirds of the seat" in tho gnllor'u were occupied exclusively by ladies. pr< * senting an unsurpassed array of elegnnc and beauty. Men crowded the aisle: the doors, the windows, and ro*o tit abce tier, to the very oeiling, dnrkenin the rooui by obstructing tho light from tb upper windows. As lion Mr Kcitt, gran fully saluted the audience at tho commence ment of his address, cheer upon chet wont up frotn the immense timing, an the soeno was one of stirring interest an ?t6d genuine sublimity. We shall ii? attempt a sketch or analysis of the dil coursoof the orator from South Curolint but leave that also to speak for itself whe published to the world. The spealter was repeatedly interrupto by enthusiastic) plaudit"?and as his hwc ling and musical. tones filled every noo sad corner of the spacious building dnrin his frequent bursts of lofty and impassiot od declamation, we recognized tbe orate who had elicited the high cncomiumi of the English authoress, Miss Murraj and whose eloquent voice has rung out i clarion notes in tbe cats of Northern fann tic* in the halls of Congress. No spes Iter ever met with a warmer reception c one better calculated to satisfy the aoinle? withes of himself and his friends. Ihii ing a subsequent pause in the exercises when the Armory Band was discoursio] sweet inueic for the entertainment of th assemblage, the reverend clergy in th pulpit, above the platform, requested to b introduced to Mr Kcitt, and ns Col Smitl pcrformod the ceremony of introduction the revorend gentlemen bending dowi from th* panred desk to take the extonde< hand of the orator to whom irioy wiehc. to do honor, a spontaneous and thunderuq burst of applause went tip from the specta ton of the acone, adding new and grrate lift and animation to the occasion.?

We have heard soveral farmer* around us propose to contribute towards the Kansas fund, one dollar per hoad for every negro they own.

Why bnve we nt> organized society here to take tho matter in hand, and collect the contributions which many are ready to make if they had a convenient opportunity ? Nearly every where else there is some such society, and certaiid\?e have as great an interest in the pendin struggle as any of our neighbors. We like a mode of doing what wc intend in such cases, but we like more to see something done. ? . o CANVASSINO THK STATE. The "Fayetteville Observer" publishes * j communication signed " K N " giving an ac- | count of the meeting of the candidates for j Governor of North Carolina,before the people, j Ujion a recent occasion, and charging the . ] practice of such canvassing to be "demoralizing to the public, degrading lb the candidates, and perfectly useless and unnecessary." , The "Obeerver" makes the following sen si- 1 ' ble remarks, which we commend tothe special j ' aueuuen oi wose now* uaroitman* who, can only allude to our sister State by t'uc disparaging mubrufHci of "Old Rip/' yet am tk> msv.'ces just awaking to the idoa of adopting those practices which she ia seeking to Chandon as "demursluiieg," 'degrading" and "uncle!*." ? "Seriously, tie present loaning of our minde is to the conclusion at which our correspondent has arrived. We have heretofore flavored the practice of caavaasing. There was a vast dvaf of information diffused among the peo ph*%n?d oftentimes among those whoreceived it in no other way. The people were awakened to a proper appreciation, and arouaed to a full exercise, uf the great right of suffrage. Then there was something pleasant, and conformable to the nature of oar institutions, in the familiar personal intercourse between rulers and people. And the people were made i to feel that they had a?laim on their officer, and the officer mat he war directly amenable to the people. * Buoh were some of uur thoughts the car Her periods of the canvassing ay-Acts. Weontess that they have somewhat changed of Oae of the strongest objecti * to the system is the fact that no man, however elevated in character, however distinguished for intellectual gifts, howeWrr entitled by faithful public service*, or however popular, can ever be Governor of the State, under this system, unless he can speck, and speak fluently and well, with a slight?or greaV-~femdt of demagogue ism. The office is necessarily nltoost confined to professional men?and to one class of them, to lawyers.?whose business it is to spaak. The ioc<ae<iuacy of the salary to the support of the Governor and his family in Raleigh, almost confines the office to rich mew. Along, tedious and expeuaire cAnvass, adds another burthen to this, aud makes the office still loss accessible to men of moderate means. On the whole, we incline to favor a discontinuance of the practice." With what propriety "demagbgueism" may be chsrtred unnn Ik* mmmiI in N. C, we know not; bnt we are aatisfieJ that the practice referred to, open# the HeM to jut wick character*, and in flirt haa much to do with their creation. . ' THE WE AfHER AND CHOPS. Wc are oorrj to leara that the crop* which a few week* ago were *o very promising, begin to thow the effect* of the warm and dry wcath r which we now hare.

A gieat denl of excitement has been ocea sionod by the challenge that passed between Messrs. Brook's und Burlingaino. We havf heard one or two persons say thnt Col. Brook'i ought to have ncceptcd Mr. Burliogamo't place of appointmcut, namely, the Canada shore opposite Kiagru Falls. Now we think that Col. Brooks did exactly right. It would havo heen next to an impossibility for Col Brooks to get to ths appointed Jplace, first because he well knew with what bitter relent less hatred they regarded him, rendering il impossible. Secondly, New York in hei statutes we understand, forbids "any one tt write or accept a challenge t? the state, 01 go out, or pas* through to do rtie same, deem ing such as a penitentary offence/ We well remember whnt an excitement wn? crestel by the Duel that took place bciweor two members of the Shakespearian clut some time ago, when -Policeman wore* itlft/'or' at every ''crow road" to seize the fortunat< party that remained unhurt, and came neat imprisoning the pther pnrty, cVen before i waa known- whether ho would live or die, he Wing wonnded dangerously. Now Mr/ Bur lingamc, appearing game, wished Mr. Brouki to run the above risk, for he well 'enow tlmt { the Black Ilepuhlican authorities of Ne* York, could fiver get Col. Brook* into theii possession, that hia sent in Congress would be vacant for several years/ Mr. BurUngaiut (like hia iffnstrioua predecessor, J. Watsot iVebb, no doubt hod his pardon in hi? pocket when he accepted Col. Brooka challenge Under the eirentnatancea any one can see tha it would bo absutd for Col.

Pl/aytwo upon THE CREUULfTT oP Till South.?We have already rocitcd th< Mreumstaoee* of the recent rescue of a fti dtive slave in (loetott with the .lew of Jil lustrating a conflict between u Stute and Federal law, and of directing the attention >f the press and people of the South to the Pact, that tho Constitution of tho United States is practically annulled by tlia personal liberty Bill of Massachusetts. The facta of that case are interesting ir mother aspect, Captain Pillsbury?of thcbloou oi" l'sr cer, per hap#?tells a very fair storf. The Mgro got aboard at Mobile, and accreted litnself with such success that he wait nol liscovcrod until hangar * drove him from >is hiding place." When the captain 'cached Boston he feigned a desire to ohah) the negro j and he evei? went so fsr is to offer a show of reaiHtanoe to the pertone who oeae to rescue the slave,* There rassomooh skill in hie management. First ic managed not to know that the negro resin his vessel. In the next place, he nonaged to comamnieate the feet to the Vbolikionists of Boston; nod, Snally. he uanaged to let the negro escape to Canada, do doubt Captain Pillsbury thinks he has lone a very smart thing. No doubt he relieves the people of the South have no uspicion of his guilt. No doubt be Haters himself that he has so contirvcd the oattor that he may oontinue to visit the rertaof the South) and *to supply Uoaton fith a cargo of fugitive slaves. Perhaps >a is right.
