The 4th of July broke in upon us in tfaclouded splendor, and our village wa.? the scene of incessant bustle and gayct) from dawn till dawn again. At 11 AM the procession frern the Istitutc entered the Presbyterian church, which was al< ready crowded alrnoat to suffocation. With the exception of the pews occupied by the Cadets, the whol^floor oi' the church and two*thirds of the seats in tho gallorioi were occupied exclusively by ladies, presenting an unsurpassed array of elegance and beauty. Men crowded the aisle?, the doors, the windows, and roeo tier above tier, to the very oeiling, darkening the room by obstructing tho light from the upper windows. As Hon Mr Kcitl, gracefully saluted the audience at the commencement of his address, cheer upon cheer went up from the immense throng, and the scene was one of stirring interest and even genuine sublimity. We shall not attempt a sketch or analysis of the. discourse of the orator from South Carolina, hut leave that also to speak for itself when published to tl/e world. The speaker was repoatodly interrupted Dy entnusiastio plaudits?anil as his swclling and pnuical tones filled etery nook and comer of th? spacious building daring hi* frequent burst# ?? lofty and impassion, od declamation, we recognised the orator who had elicited the high encomium#, of the English authoress, Miss Murray, and whose eloquent voice has rung out in clarion notes in the earn of Northern fanatioa in the halls of Congress. No spea * ker ever met with a warmer recoption or one better calculated to satisfy the amplest wishes of hiuiMlf and his friends. During a subsequent pauso in the exercises, when the Armory Band was discoursing sweet mueie for the entertainment of the assemblage, the reverend clergy in the pulpit, aboT*) tho platform, requested io bo introduced to Mr Keitt, and as Col Smith performed the ceremony cf introduction, the reverend gentlemen bending down from the sacred desk to take the extended , band of the orator to whom they wished to do honor, a spontaneous and thundering burst of applause wont Up from the specie ion of tt*? aeene, adding new and greater ? lift and animation to the occasion.?I*.r\H4j(on ( l4c) tiiar. ** THIS "GALLANT" MK WOODRUFF. * It ia not easy to conceive of a more contemptible fellow than this man Woodruff He is however, just such a miserable, coward I j creature as one might expect the wooden nutmeg button makers and tin pedtecs of Conneoticr/t would send to repreaeut them at Washingtoa.

The "Fayetteville Observer" ptiblishes a j communication signal "RN" giving au occount of the meeting of the candidates for Governor of North Carolina, before the people, upon a recent occasion, and charging the I _ practice of such canvassing to be "demoralizing to the -public, degrading to the candidates, and perfectly melees and unnecessary." i The "Obaerrer" makes the following sensible remarks, which we commend to the special f attentive of those Ooutk Carolinians who, can i <*?ly allnda to oar sister State by the dispar- j aging ioubriquet of "Old Rip/' yet are (Arm , ttives just awaking to the idea of adopting those practices which she is aeeking tq aban- c don an "demoralising," "degrading" and "use- 1 tern." ^ . f "Seriously, tL? present leaning ef our minds j ( is to the conclusion at which our correspon- I | dont Iim arrived. We have heretofore favored the practice of canvassing. There vu a Tart j di al of information diffused among the people and oftentimes among those- who received 1 it in no other way. The people were awakened to a proper appreciation, and aroused to a fall exercise, of the ureal right of suffrage. Then there wan something pleasant, and conformable to the nature of oar institutions, m the familiar personal intercourse between rnhtrs and people. And the people were made to feel that they had avlaim on their officer, , and the offieertnat be was directly amenable ; j to the people- J 8uok were some of oor thoughts in tlx ear- j Her periods of the esa???ing system. We } confess that they hare somewhat changed of One of the strongest objections to the system is the fact that no man, however elevated in character, howeves distinguished for intel-' leetual gifls,however outitiVd by faithful public service?, or however popular, oao ever be Governor of the Btate, under this system, unless he can speak, ana speait fluently and well, with a slight?or great?ton eh of demagogue ism. The office is necessarily altnoat confined to professional men?and to one class of them, to Is wye n,?whose business it i? to apeak. The inadequacy of the salary to the support of the Governor and his family ia Ralergfc, almost confines the office to rich mew. k long, tedious and expensive canvass, adds another burthen to this, and makes the office still lees accessible to men of moderate mtuf. 1 On the whole, we incline to faror a discontinuance of tho practice." ' With what propriety "demagbgueism" i may ^ be charged upon the preaent candidate* 1 in N. C, we know not} bat we are satisfied , that the practice referred to, open# the to josi euch character*, and in Aid ha* much to do with their creation. .

Brook's gj mght to have accepted Mr. Burlipgatiio's I ^ dace of appointment, namely, the Canada ihore opposite Kiagra Falls. Now we think f hat Col. Brooks did exactly right. It would ; tavo been next to an impossibilily for Col. m Irooka to get to the appointed Jplacc, first, in Htcanse he well knew with what better relent-1 ^ Cm hatred they regarded hiwi, rendering it \ mposaible. Secondly, New York in her j rtatutea we understand, forbids "any one to vrite or accept a challenge in the atate, or to oaf, or pas<< through to do tlie same, deem- cr ng such as a pcnitcfltary offence# i p, We well remember what an excitement was wonted by the Duel that took place between; wo members of tho Shakespearian club Bl lome time ago, when .Policemen were placed it every ''cross road*' to ".rize tfi? fortunate b< >arty that remained unhurt, and came near fe mpriaoning the pther party, even before it ^ tM known- whether he would live or die, he ming wonnded dangerously. Now Mr. Bur ingamc, appearingyumt, wished Mr. Brooks bi o run the above risk, for he well knew that if s( he Black Uepublican authorities of New k'ork, could tfver get Col. Brooks into their q' >ossesaion, that hie teat in Congress would ">? vacant for several years. Mr. fcurlingame like hit iflustrioua predecessor, J.
