one which requires a combination of pro- (

cry much of the success of the institution,

The high trust which he now holds, with
honor to himself, and benefit to the State,
can be more readily filled with a suitable

Dissolution op the late cabinet
At a recent Whig convention in the
district of Mr. Granger, he made the fol
lowing remarks on this subject.
Mr. Gragner commenced his remarks
by saving that he had never before, in addressing
his fellow citizens, felt called on
to tpeak of himself; but on that occasion
he felt bound to do so. He then took a
rapid glance of the formation, of the
Cabinet under Gen. Harrison, and poartrayed
the character of that lamented patriot.
After dwelling for a short time
upon the death of President Harrison,
and the accession of his successor, Mr.
G. entered upon a short history of the le.
gislation of Congress, the action of the
Executive, and the causes which led to a
dissolution of the Cabinet. He referred
to the passage of the land bill as an act of
long deferred justice to the States?to
the bankrupt act as one which would
bring relief to thousands of the unfortunate?to
thejrevenue bill as one due to the
wants and interests of the country. Mr.
G. then went on to state that no one subject
had engaged so much of the public
attention, or had been so emphatically
sealed with public reprobation, as the subTreasury
plan. That plan had been repealed
amongst the first act9 of the present
Congres, and its repeal implied an
obligation uponthe Whig party to provide
a substitute ; that a bank bill had been
passed by Congress, and arrested by the
action of the President.
Much as ! j deprecated the use of the
veto power, such were some of the Jfeatures
of that bill, that, although he did most
deeply regret that the Executive sanction
was withheld from it, he did not feel that
the President should be harshly censured
for returning it to Congress with his ohjectious.
A second bill was formed
which it was supposed would fully meet
his wishes. Indeed the Public had been
- 1 i .1 . ?l ; _l
informed r>y hign aumority, wmcu remains
uncontradicted, that the second
bill was presented to Congress with the
approbation of the President to its details.
That bill was passed, and its fate was
known to our People. Congress was about
to adjourn; the sub-Treasury repealed,
and the substitute offered by Congress
defeated by the Executive. The purse
and the sword were still united in the
hands where the Whig parfv had declared
they should not remain. Here was sufficient
cause for the withdrawal of members
from the Whig Cabinet. It was
well known that (our of them did withdraw.
But there were other additional reasons
which Mr. G. said he would frankly stale.
The contest of last year had not been
waged upon these legislative questions,
only. If had been boldly declared, and
bv himself amongst others, that long continued
power in the hands of our adversaries
had led to corruption among the office
holders, and to a most dangerous inter-i
..... onlitina) ulm'.
terenee on ineir pari m um |/wm...u. w.,.^
tions. Not that every officeholder was,
corrupt, but that the different departmerits
of governmental patronage and
expenditures required a general purification.
The revolution of last year was
not accomplished merely for the purpose
of placing the executive officers at Washington
in snug and comfortable, places,
while the hordes of officeholders throughout
the country remained undisturbed.
Their removal was as much desired by the
People as was the charge in the highest
officers of the Government. So perfectly
was this understood, that it was due to
our adversaries to say, thai they did not
complain when removed, and justly laughed
at us when we permitted them to remain.
Many removals and appointments were
I a L /i I
* "???rA,.oiAn-il
mane during too
and before the death of Gen. Harrison,
which were afterwards sent to the Senate
for confirmation, but since that period
very few hr.d been disturbed. The President
had seen fit to retain in power almost
the entire force of the Indian department
throughout the country, although the
Whig party had been loud in their assertions
of corruption and fraud in the erroneous
expenditures there. Customhouse
officers were retained who were known to
have been actively engaged in the political
struggle against us. All the most
valuable offices of the Post office Department
were under the control of the President,
who had permitted but very few
changes. Under this state of things Mr.
Granger had been forced to consider his
dutv to the principles he advocated and
Kimcolf nprsonallv. After the deepest
IV .... . y ^
reflection, fie could not doubt. He felt
that if the executive power should continue
to th wart the will of the People,
as expressed through the ballot-boxes and
through their Representatives in Congress?if
hold poliiical partisans were permitted
to retain the places which they
had so long abused, to trample down
Whig principles; and if. after all this, he
remained in office, the Whigs throughout
the nation?av, the Whigs of Old Ontario
by whose partiality he had been so often
sustained, would believe that, tor the enjoyment
of office, he had baitered his and
their principles, and that Frank Gran
I55H5^95955555555595S5555!^55B^^^^5
ger was not Me man they took him to be."
Although fully convinced of the course
it was duty to pursue, Mr. G. said he did
not feel at liberty to act without the advice
of the Whig delegation from this
State, who gave their unanimous approv*
al of his determination. Then he did resign,
ready to go info the ranks tosuitnin
the Whig party. Mr. Granger said that
here he had a single word to say, fts much
injustice to another ashimself. It had
been insinuated in publie prints, and circulated
in secret whispers, that the mem- j
ber of Congress from this district nan n>
ceived his nomination with an understanding
with Mr. Granger, that, in a contingency
like that which has ferisen, his
place was to be suirendered. This was
a miserable calumny, without the slight
est shadow of truth. He (3fr. Granger)
had never heard Mr. Greig named as a
candidate until informed of his nominition
He need not say how well the
trust confided to him had been executed;
but he would say, in justice to his own
feelings, that during the whole of thede-1
licate and perplexing responsibilities
growing out of his position in the Government,
and the surrender of his ilace, the
constant council and advice of that gentlemen
had been most useful to him.
Mr. G. said that on his return he met at
Albany Mr. Greig's letter of resignation,
which had been followed by the represent
tatives of the Whigs of Ontario by a '
nomination more grateful to his feelings
than any other occurence of ht.3 political
life.
Mr. Granger then reviewed the position
of the Whig party of^the nation, and par
ticularly of this State. He said thet our
enemies had supposed that those who!
differed from the President were to wage i
war upon him. and thus produce a breach
in our ranks. The proceedings of the
State Convention recently held at Syracuse
had dispelled that illusion, and put
matters upon the right.
Should the present Administration carry
out Whig principles, it was entitled to
the support of the Whig party ; and from
no one would such a course receive a
* 'L-i c r_
more nearly support mat irom mm, ^ir.
G.,) wherever he might be placed. There
were some few indications that improper
officers would be reformed. He trusted
the President would continue these reforms,
in which it was the duty of good
Whigs to sustain him.
North Carolina Temperance Convention.
A Temperance Convention commenced
its session its session in Raleifih, N.
C. on Monday of week before last from
the account of which in the Register we
make the following extract:
Various subjects which came before
the Convention, were discussed with
much spirit and ability, and notwithstanding
the diversity of sentiment and opinion
expressed on some of them, there was
in no instance, the least exhibition of
unkind feeling, but only a vioing with
each other in zeal to advance the great
cause. On Tuesday evening, another
public meeting was held, and the Church,
though the largest in the City, was crowded
ut an early hour. The meeting was
addressed by the venerable and eloquent
Dr. Capers, of South Carolina, in the
very happiest style and manner. Mr.
Carey, of Baltimore, was then called out
and after a succinct recapitulation of
the principles of the Washington Temperance
Society, which had been more
fully made known the day before, he
gave a detailed account of his experience
as a Drunkard for the last 12 years, and
(he means of his reformation. It is im,
possible to describe the intensity of feeling
exhibited by the audience in several
parts of his simple and affecting narrative
I The effect upon the immense mas9 was
sometimes overwhelming. The power
which Mr. Carey exercises over an audi

public speaker?such as a line voice, a
commanding person, good gesture?a

conception,?or any
such thing. No?nobody will him an
Orator in the common understanding of
the lerin. He is a man/jf good sound
sense and a piain English Education.
How then can he enchain the attention
of a largo intelligent audience ? We
j answer in one breath, and that too in the
I language of the Scripture? He speaks
that which ho knows, and testifies, th-it
which he knows, and testifies that which
he has seen." With the most unaffected
modesty?the most artless simpl city and
sincerity he tells the plain story of his
life. No attempt at effect?no arts to
entrap?no appeal to the sympathies?he
presents an array of facts?of truth ;
which one would say any other man of

i might do just as well, provided his heart
| was as deeply interested. He offered, in
i closing his narrative, the pledge of the
I Washington Society of Baltimore, to be
subscribed by any person present, and
notwithstanding the lateness of the hour,
the names of 76, (an ominous number
where the spirit of freedom and independence
is at work) were subscribed. During
this intensely interesting scene, (for
there was a perfect sweep on that class
of the community who had all along stood
aloof from the efforts of Temperance Reform
on the old system) short and stir.

A \ AMUSING BLUNDER.
Some years ago a bill was reported in
the New York House of Assembly entitled
**An tct f it the preservation of the
heath hen nnd other game." The Speaker
of the House, who was probably not
much of a sportsman, gravely read it,
"An act for the preservation of the Heathroi
and nther D ame." a blunder of which
,,,v" ??? ? v?' '
he was unconscious until an honest mem.
ber from the North, who had suffered considerably
by the depredations of the frontier
Indians, moved an amendment by
adding the words "except Indians." After
the mistake of the Speaker was corrected,
the amendment of course became
unnecessary! and was withdrawn.
Concord (IV H.) Freeman*
Thr Veto Power.?The English tory
journals seize upon the exercise of this
power by fhe'president, as an unanswerable
evidence that our Government and
Constitution is, after all, a worse despotism
than a monarchy. It must be conceded
by all thinking men, whatever may
be the opinion of foreigners, that it is a
monstrous power granted to one man, who
by his simple signature, can annul the
wishes of millions. The London Times,
one of the most moderate on this subject, says.
'Afr. Tyler, the new President, elevated to
that office w ithout any p ^pular election, by a
dispensation ot Providence at least as accidenfal
as Ui? devolution of a heredatory monarchy
has placed his veto upon a bill of immense importance.
(for incorporating a Bank of the
United StateR,) which had passed bolli Houses
of Congress, merely on the grounds of his
own personal convictions. In monarchal En.
gland the Sovereign has a veto but 't has never
been cxn cisrd for one hundred and fifty
years; yet, in democratical America, the deci?ion
of the People iR intercepted from taking
effect by the will of a single man, and that
man not chosen for the purpose."

At Wahalock, Mis*.,' on .Saturday, 16th

gestive fever, after eight days' sickness Mrs.
ANN P. CATES, wife of Mr. Joseph Af. D.
Gates, in the 32d year of her age, leaving an
infant snn in his second year.
Mrs.C. was horn in the neighborhood of
McMinnville, Warren county, Tennessee. In
her early childhood, her father (tho late Maj.
James Lyon) removed to South Carolina;
and after his death she returned with her
mother to her native State. In 1640, she
'accompanied her husband to Greene County,
Ala., and subsequently to Wahalock, which
proved her last earthly abode,
Mrs C. had been a consistent member of
the Baptist church for the last eight or ten
years, and was evidently prepared for the
hour of dissolution. Her piety was of thai
character which adorns the domestie circle,
and is most efficient in the vicissitudes of private
life. With a full consciousness of ap.
proaching death, she bore her extrem? sufferings
with patient resignation, and, in the midst
of strangers, far from her accustomed friends,
with a serene countenance she yielded up her
spirit to G<?a who gave it. Thus unexpectedly
summoned from earth, and torn from the
most endearing ties, she has left the memorial
of her example, and the hope of her happy
transition, to colsole her mourning relatives
and to bind up their bleeding hearts. A math*
cr, sisters, brothers, and husband, may mingle
their tears in unutterable grief, while others
sympathise in their affliction ; but, alas! no
human effort can ever restore the lost one to
our eight. It seems to be the very stiug of
death to surviving friends, that we can never
never again, in this life, look upon the features
of those we loved, and whose memory we
fondly cherish.? But it becomes us not to
