The 4th of July broke in upon ua i
unclouded splendor, and our village wo
the aceuu of incessant bustle and g&yct

the Presbyterian church, which ass a

Cadet*, the wholvt floor of the church an
two?thirds of the seat" in tho gnllor'u
were occupied exclusively by ladies. pr<

and beauty. Men crowded the aisle:
the doors, the windows, and ro*o tit

Last Tuesday being tike V l>ig day" during

two reasons : first, in order that We might hear
lhA candidates for tbo N people's offices" declare
themselves as such, and shew their relative
positions on thdRraooiifli uuesti<?oa of the

iwoo'cldjck we entered tho Court-bouse where
from the solid throne of justice, the candidates
wore to contend far the. supremacy, by administering
" sugar coated" arguments to the Vox

inlf, and them gava way for Col. Walter Steele,
tin opponent. Ho in bis turn spoke the name
imv, when General l)ockery rose and replied
n a short speech. Col. Steele also spoke a
lecond time. These two gentlemen are permps
the strongest men in tbj Senatorial disrict,
and the contest reminds uanfnn old purtic

A ChmtUmsn (a this neighborhood has kind j
1? shown nn a letter whiefr fto received from an
Jbqpislntanca who went fram Marion district
I to the scene of troubles in Kansas, and also
handed ua a copy of the "Kansas Constitutionalist"
published at Doniphan.
The writet of the letter was engaged iu two

I terms of <be conduct of our ia*fr. ffc appeals
on behalf of those South Carolinian* who are

, confident opinion as to the ultimate success J
of the Southern party, if they nre only provided
with the means which will enable tnoat
to remain in the territory.
His account of the fertility of the soil is
qqite flattering, and if cbrrect is certainly a
great iodocomont to southern emigration.

A darker ami a bloodier d?y is still rei-erved

We have heard soveral farmer* around us
propose to contribute towards the Kansas fund,
one dollar per hoad for every negro they own.
This would be a fair mode of raising a fund,
and would produce a handsome amount. 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. The corn crops are

COL. BROOKS.
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. Drooka to mn tb<
risk of bribed assosins, and trcachercnia fuua
lies* While it openly appears that Burlif
game >? neither brave, or even possesses it
iWst^lepacnt, if he did, why did he wish Co1
Brooke, to ran the gauntlet seven or ?igh
hundred miles t It scams to us that this i
some trfraelieroua plot to injur* Col. Brooks
Why did Mr. Bm-liagnme firet apologise, thei
retract and-lastly appoint Niagara. .
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

" satisfaction of the pubon*. Thfca school is

l*dy of much experience and one

confidence and esteem of the Trustocs,

r female Academy, tho services of Mis*
1 McCuLLY. The Examinations also took
k
place in tbe male department of (he Marli
bro* Aeodoiny, taught by Mr. J. H? Hl'df
son ?at the Level Groen Academy taught
1 by Mr K. H. McRjnnon?at the Beauty
j Spot Academy taught by Mr. Tuomas
, Brekdt.n?at Bearer J>am and at Adams,
! ville Academies. These examinations all
;,*took place within a few weeks, and
* wcro all fine schools, nittuboring from
* thirty to fifty scholars each,
I had the pleasure also on Friday last,
w of attonding the examination of the Hebron
? Acaietny, under tho supcTintendaocc
' of our gifted teacher, Mr. Hmw.ey McGill,
* : When I arrived thorc the exorcises had
s
commenced, and I was forcibly struck with
, the spectacle exhibited Upon the stage
1 sat nearly fifty children, from tho age of
j ton to fifteen?the littlo girls dressed in
spotless wbHo?-fit emblems for such dear
littlo fairies?and the little cunning miaI
clijevous looking boys in their " fcwn lays"
^ all waiting anxiously for their turn tube
examined, and tjhen rnlLsrd they stepped
' oat as if on their efforts depended the fate
' of Empire*. The promptness and general
correctness of tho answers and recitations
of the pupils, struck the attfftrtlfjfPWfcy<.ry \
observer, and ttoufd have done credit to
older beads Tbe people of th6 neighbor
hood ?howed (heir deep interest for the
cause, by attending almost en mntte} and
by carefully listening to the recitations.
An hour's intermission was given at
midday for tba purpose of taking dinner,
which ^as furnished uioat profusely by tho
patrons of the school, and served up ou
their different tables in real pio nic style.
Nearly five hundred people were entertained
in a princely atyle with ali the good
things of this life by this generous neigh,
borbood at their tables. As for myself,
I thanks to our good portly host, C'apt Henry
|. Covington?I Was soon loot to all other
observations amid turkeys, chickens, hams,
j ma otaer good things in the wsy of dessorts
and fruits?iodscd it was a dinner
whioh would hare done credit to the " Old
: Atsor" itself,
?
My not very ntelicotoml occupation was
1 occasionally disturbed by my young bacheI
lor friends who arc erer active in attendI
!
ing to the ladies; they were seising contin
ually most enormous l la tea of eatables and
i t
making kofore the ladicw to he!j? them,
while others were banding the water in
| quick Mtoccosioo round. The ladies eartainly
will not soon foejjet the active atI
tor.tioo* displayed by a few of our young
; bachelor neighbors et that dinner. Truly
| thiq dinner furnished us with a ? flow of
1 soul." The " feast of reason" was yet to
come. The dinner was too much for oar
friends. The bachelors they attempted tc
amuse the ladies, but it was no go; all
forusd, and at last ? despair thy stepped
off one bj one, and Nath^ thetuaelftfl in
Maae-<p<ict place, luxuriated over their old
.Spanish regalias, while the ladles, bow
they paaaed off the time without gen tie men,
I cannot say. After sen* fiTtlKe time
the oneMaea at the eehootroom were reNsed,
and cam eoncludod, ta tie great
credit of the teacher end peplt. Mr. *
