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.

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

performed the ceremony cf introduction,

BLACK REPUBLICAN TREASON.
l Wo subjoin a paragraph from tbc Couri- ;
er and Enquirer, together with the patriotic |
i comments of tbe Bojton Courier (Whig (
paper.) .
, | We arc in the midst of a revolution, the
orgm of which is *ec?oHaJ,and its svowod
object to gratify the grasping > ambition of
| the slave power ; and a civil war waged '
in behalf of freedom and in resistance of (
slavery extension u a fitting arcompani- ' ,
vievt of an attempt on the part of ftjo
South and their co-laborers of the North
to trample on the principles aud guarantees
' of the constitution, by the extension of
, 1 slavery into free territory, through tho direct
legislation of the gen*.-al government. 1
I That such is prcoisely the state of the
j country, uo honest'or intelligent man will
deny; and this admitted, the remedy tV*j
gi tapir and the duly of every patriot perfct- '
! ly apparent. Tho rcnaiidy is to go to the

CANVASSING TUN STATE.
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. .

A gteat deal of excitement bas been ocea- *V<
lioncd by the challenge that passed between ce
Messrs. Brook's ar.d Burlingame. We have B
>eard one or two persons say that Col. 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

>ossesaion, that hie teat in Congress would

like hit iflustrioua predecessor, J. Wataon I '
