November 19,1858. nov2s—tf. _ wn ELL A WY . The President at Chapel llill, North Carolina. An immense crowd was assembled at Chapel Hill on Wednesday June 1, to wel come the Chief Magistrate, whose visit to this place we gave item of last week. A correspondent of the South Carolinian writes : “So great was the anxiety and rush to see Mr. Buchanan, that it was with some difficulty I got anywhere near to hear them. However, with the aid of a friend, who permitted his back for a wri ting desk, 1 managed at least to catch the substance. President Swain said : “When your predecessor, Mr. President, twelve years ago, visited this institution, it Mas regarded as ti graceful and grateful compliment to his Alma Mater. He re turned to the scenes and companions of his boyhood. The Secretary of the Navy, in the Cabinet of which you are the Pre mier, the present estimable Minister France, accompanied him, and was one of his collegiate companions. Your visit is the more complimentary, because the asso ciations were less intimate than his. The selection of two children of this institu tion as members of yemr Cabinet, is a compliment which entitles you to a grate ful consideration at our hands. Your vis it as Chief Magistrate of the Republic is a compliment of which we may well feel proud, but we welcome you, not merely in your official character, but as Mr. Buchan an, and a citizen of Pennsylvania. It was somewhat remarkable, sir, that the two States so distant from each other, should be so intimately connected and blended in their history. The greatest of Americans, and with a-single exception, the greatest of Americans, smote the rock of Plymouth with an electric wand, and the waters of the river gushed forth for the healing of the nations. North Carolina was originally settled, to a very great extent, by emigrants from Pennsylvania ; that as early as 1668, Wm. Penn, in a letter to a confidential friend, states that fifteen thousand of the most substantial citizens of Pennsylvania were about to seek a home in the wilderness of Carolina. The country immediately west j of you was the final resting place'of these emigrants. They constituted what is known as the Regulators, and on the 16th May, 1771, four years and four days be fore the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence, they fought the battle of Ala mance, and within twenty-five miles of this place. Whether you regard the num ber of combatants, or the number that was killed, the affair at Lexington, in 1775, was less imposing in circumstances. The great Chief of the Regulators, Her man Husband, is understood to have been a relative of Benjamin Franklin, to have possessed his confidence, and to have been his confidential agent. The great body of the Regulators retreated successfully from the battle and found a safe retreat in the wild gorges of the Alleghanies, and wreak ed ample vengeance for their wrongs in the battle of King’s Mountain, on the 7th of October, 1780. The defeat of Major Furguson was the hinge on which the war in the South, if not on the continent, turned. If Furgur son had not fallen, the battle of Guilford would not have been fought, nor would the Revolution have closed at Yoiktown. A1 amance was the initial, King’s Mountain the decisive, and Guilford the closing bat ‘THE UNION OF THE STATES:-DISTINCT, LIKE THE BILLOWS; ONE; LIKE THt StL” THOMASTON. GEORGIA? SATURDAY MORNING, JULY i , 18& tie of the Revolution. Yorktown was a siege. It is not merely the Quaker element in our population that constitutes the union, a bond of union between North Carolina and Pennsylvania. The Scotch and Irish, wherever they were found, were emphati cally the sons of liberty. The population of the valleys of the Yadkin and the Ca tawba, that gave rise to the Mecklenburg Declaration, were Scotch, Irish and Penn sylvanians, among whom it is sufficient to refer to a Jackson and a Davie. The third element which came from | Pennsylvania, were Lutherans and deAcetp ! dants of the Protestants, who fottght Un : der William the Silent, in the memorable j contest with William the Second. God j forbid, Mr. President, that I should dis parage in the smallest degree the charac ter of the Puritan. It is a matter of hon est pride to myself that I am an humble scion of that stock. But I feel at liberty to declare, that I believe in my conscience that no portion of this country, during the Revolution, loved liberty so well and fought so st( utiy to maintain it, as the Mecklen burg men. These united stocks formed a race of men that have rarely been equalled in any age of any country. There are considera tions connected with the peculiar charac | ter of the Revolution in North Carolina which distinguish it from that of any oth er portion of the country. With the Pu ritan it was a war against taxation ; in Mecklenburg, it was eminently a contest for cjvil and religious liberty. I have very recently been more deeply impressed with this state of facts by the papers of Lord Cornwallis, which have been just issued from the press. The de feat of Furguson was fatal to the invasion of 1780. He states the fact expressly, in a volume to which I refer, “ that before attempting the second invasion in 1780, he had, by his emissaries, wrapped our whole western borders with the flames of savage war.” But for this, the men who foiled him at King’s Mountain would have turned his faial triumph at Guilford into a disastrous retreat. In a brief note written after his retreat to Wilmington, and writ ten tu Sir Henry Clinton, he hay a, “that much to his surprise, he found the North Carolinians comparatively a united people, and was satisfied that, owing to the par ticular condition and peculiar character of the country, it would be the most difficult of the thirteen provinces to subdue.” “ To which Mr. Buchanan replied : “ I thank you for your kindness, and I am thankful for the kindness with which I have been received by the citizens. I have always had a partiality for this good old North State. Her eminently prudent, wise and conservative sons have always stood by the Constitution and laws, and are des tined in the history of this country to do much to preserve our glorious Union. “ I thank you most heartily for the kind reference which you have made to my na tive State. lam proud to hear her asso ciated w r ith North Carolina The two sis ters have generally met together in all im portant questions. And in all history. North Carolina has followed the footsteps of Governor Hartsdale, in whose day, as in Penn’s day, the Indians all loved the white man, because the Indians were trea ted kindly by him. You refer to mourn ful events. You speak of President Polk. He was proud in speaking of his intense love of his Alma Mater. He was a good man, a great man, an honest man. No man ever performed the duties of his high office more conscientiously than James K. Polk. Justice has not yet been done to his mem ory. But the impartial historian, when he comes to collect the events of that period, will place James K. Polk on the list of the most noble and distinguished men of the country. He was a laborious man, and sacrificed himself with intense labors. “ I might refer to other distinguished ] men, who have graduated at this college* which would probably be invidious. Os the dead we may speak ; it is best to say nothing of the living. I have come to this institution of learning because mind with me is everything. It has produced the best fruits of the country. It is a practical in stitution, and I may venture to say, proves the superiority of a collegiate over a pri vate education. It creates emulation. The boy who is compelled to recite with his master, not intermingled with others has not a due spirit of emulation aroused ; while the boy at college endeavors each to ac quire superiority over the other, and he be comes thoroughly prepared. This prepar ation has been seen in the hosts of men whom you have sent to other States. As far as 1 know, they carry with them the firm integrity and wisdom which charac terizes the people of this State in an imi nent degree. “ Thev have been scattered over the wilds and have contributed essentially to give | character to the place of their choice. “ I wish I could address all the young men in my hearing. A vast responsibility rests upon them. As generations of men rise and sink, and are forgotten, principles ; remain and are eternal. I would advise j them to devote themselves to the preserva tion of the principles of the constitution, for without these blessings our liberties are gDne. Let this constitution be torh into atoms, let the Union separate, let thirty republics rise Up against each other, and it would be the most fatal day of the liber ties of the human race that ever dawned upon any land. * Let this experiment fail and mankind and every friend of liberty would deplore the sad event. I belong to a passing generation. My lamp of life can not continue long. I hope I may survive to the end of my Presidential term, but so j emphatically do I believe that mankind as V vcll as the people of the United States are interested in the preservation of this Un ion, that I hope I may be gathered to ray forefathers before I should witness its dis -1 solution. “ In the flux and reflux of public opin ion, things are constantly passing away.— Events that may be considered great to | day, the reflux of public opinion may re ! move to-morrow. Let us keep together, then, for better, for worse, as man and wife. Let it be the same. For thotigh troubles, as they say sometimes prevails in the married state, yet still the couple hold together and pursue their quiet way. I thank you for the kind cordial reception.— I have no doubt it will prove one of the most interesting periods of my life.” Letter from Col. Samford. Sunny Slope, near Auburn, Ala., ) June 7th, 1859. j To George D. Sliortbridge , W. S. Knox, J.. Johnson, J. T. Reese, R. liagood. Gentlemen : Your kind invitation of the Ist inst., “ to address the citizens of Dallas at Watts’ Hall,” in Selma, “upon matters of State and national policy, at my earliest convenience,” finds me in the act of start ing to North Alabama, where, if the claims of a sick family do not withhold me from the journey, I expect to spend a few weeks. I am thus compelled to decline the pro posed honor at present, while I do so with the understanding that if circumstances should warrant it, I will visit Selma some time towards the close of July. But really gentlemen, how could I address upon “matters of State policy ?” Clir poor State has few “ matters” worth even such a speech as I could make, and for a “policy,” if I should suggest any such thing, would I not be hissed by everybody. What policy has Alabama ? What policy is she likely to have, as loug as she is the victim of the stupid, shmderous, and gluttonous Partyism, which fattens on her blind cre dulity ? Our educational system is a ridiculous failure, and yet our Constitution is liberal in its grant of power to foster education. We throw away annually a fund sufficient tn educate every poor girl and boy in Ala bama. “ State policy,” indeed ! I have lived here since early manhood, and had born eight children, and I protest all I have heard of a “ State policy,” is recorded in the tax gatherer’s “notes of travel.” Don’t we pay for our “penny whistle?” It is time the people should begin to ask, “is there no way to reduce our taxes /” Never before was there a more bungling, dilatory and expensive dispensation of justice in a civilised country ? We need many judicial reforms , and among them, separa*e Crimi nal Courts. We have counties as large as small German empires—so large that two thirds of the citizens of the State cannot go to the Courthouse and attend to any matter of business in a day. This occa-. sions great trouble and expense. We ought, by all means, to adopt a rigorous system of military development. A thorough or ganisation and training of all our force is of the utmost importance. Opposed, as I am, to increased taxation for the benefit of railroads and other cor porations, or any system which might pos sibly involve it, there are yet many ways in which the State might lend her countenance and helping hand to a liberal system of public improvements, not only without bur thening the people with the cost of their construction, but greatly to their benefit. I should greatly favor whatever might pro mise these results, and be consistent with our Constitution and the genius of our laws and republican liberty. A central railroad is of the last importance to the State. We have wild and waste lands which might materially aid us in the prose cution of such a system of improvements, and which wa might, by an arrangement with the Federal Government, appropriate to that end. But I weary you. We have no “ State policy,” but we have a Demo cratic RULE, they say, that excludes all Democratic competitors from opposing the re-election of a Democratic gubernatorial incumbent, and we ought to be content therewith! Does not “ the party” make the sun rise, and “ butter our bread 1” How could we live if an Independent Democrat were Governor ? We should have to in vent anew style, and make almanacs ac cordingly. Certes , if the-United States mail should not continue to visit the State, the political “ mocking birds' ’ would no longer euchantns with their musical throats! As to our “ National policy,” if you j desire to know anything about* why, j theii yoU arc almost irreverent towards the powers at Washington • but ask Mr. Jus tice Campbell, Mr. Slidell Gs Louisiana, Sir tJeorge Ouseley, John Forsyth, the iron spongers of Pennsylvania, Walker —the two Walkers—the one of Kansas , and the other of Nicaraguan notoriety. Ask the Afri cans of the Echo —by this time they ought to be sufficiently educated to answeh Ask both wings of the Northern Democracy— the Douglas-Freesoil-Tei'ritorial Democ racy, and the Buchanan Free State De mocracy. Ask the bettaVed, disappointed, attd outraged South, which is now to bo dragged in party chains at she triumphant chariot wheels of this Administration, which blushlessly advocates a protective tariff which has has stricken down all South ern hopes in Kansas. Cuba and Central America, and which is now vainly attempt ing to consolidate its power by a party treaty upon the basis that Southern pro perty is not equal in dignity and its right of protection by the Federal Government, in the common Territories, with other property 1 The Cincinnati platform has been made a bye-word and hissing, by the perfidy of this Administration. American vessels in sight of our shores have been searched with impunity. Naturalised citizens have been abandon ed, and their citizenship does not protect them against the demand of France for military services. The doctrine of expa triation is thus abandoned. The navy of the Uniteil States has been prostituted to the vile prejudices of Aboli tionism, and Wm. Walker disgraced in his attempt to extend the area of Southern institutions, and Commodore Paulding honored for a violation of the laws of na tions. It is true that Walker was the President of Nicaragua, and his Minister had been regularly accepted at Washing ton, but then he had not established slavery. Well may we say, “ the Administration of James Buchanan has been a ridiculous failure!” Well, gentlemen, it is the “ National policy ” of many of the Democratic leaders cf Alabama, to sustain James Buchanan's Administration, and to behead me anil others who, like me, condemn it, and ask “ the people ” to come to oUr rescue against the spoilsmen. Already the evidence is complete, that the Democratic party of Alabama-is. foot ready to exalt the South above party, and forego its share of the ~ eighty millions of Federal plunder in order to sustain principle, and a lofty, pure, and true Southern Rights policy. I have made the issue fairly, and put the question upon its merits before “ the people.” The flag is on the breeze- —let all true Southrons die by it! lam your true and obliged friend, WM. F. SAMFORD. 1 ji From the American Union. Hon. Cincinnatus Peeples. Mr. Editor : —There has been several j names mentioned, through the columns pi your valuable paper, as suitable candidates to represent us from this District in the next Congress ; but, none of them in my opinion, are as well qualified to nil that high office as Hon. Cincinnatus Peeples, of Monroe. He is the very man for the times, and I do most earnestly hope that, when the Convention meets, they will nominate him ; and more, he is one of the ablest and ! most popular men in this District. In him the South would have a bold, able and un flinching advocate. As you are aware, he once run for Con- j gress in the sixth District against -Howell Cobb, in that contest Howell had a “tighter” race than he is in the habit of receiving in his District; and, in fact, he is the only man that ever could make How ell and hi 6 friends feel uneasy. My opinion is that a man wLo could have the courage to op pose such a man. as Cobb, and in such a District-as the Sixth, could be depended upon in any case where the interests of the Souther Union are involved ; and, in case of defeat, we need not fear losing a member of our party, as has been the case in many instances. He has stood square up to the ! party “ through thick and through thin and, according to Democratic policy, as he has “ done so much for the party,” I think it nothing but justice that he should be our next Representative in Congress from this i District. Let him be nominated, and I believe that he will carry the District by a larger majority than anv other man in it. OPPOSITION. i Ii —* Are you kind to your Mother ?

It is long since it iK-ott ih print, and it ; will be new to many who arefamiliinr Wit,n the tHithful and suggestive proverb. It is found in Waldic’s Circulating Library for August 26, 1834, where it was copied from ; Chamber’s Journal. A widow of Naples, the CouuVa Cor sini, had but one remaining son to give h?r interest in life. He was remarkable fofhia. I elegance of person, as well as tor very ami ; able and giaceful qualities. When grown this young gentleman was sent to pursue his studios at the University of Bologna, | where he became one of the mo*t tfiM'ih - j guished scholar?/ and gained the nffectidii j of all who ktietv him by his singularly uo -1 ble Character. ‘Just as he was completihg i his studies, and was about tohdUrh to Na ples, he was seized by a dangerotis ihbesh, which, notwithstanding the efforts of the best physicians in Bologna, brought him in three days to the brink of the grave. Seeing he could not survive, his only care, so tar as this world is concerned, was for his mother, and it was his most anx ious wish that some meAhs fchobld bo ta ken to prevent her from being entirely overcome. lie finally resorted to this ex pedient. He wrote to his mother inform ing her of his illness, but not of its threat ening character, and requested that sho would send him a shirt made by the Hap piest lady in all Naples, or she who ap peared most free from the cares and sor rows of this world, for he had taken a fan cy that by wearing such an article he should be speedily cured. The Countcsa thought her son’s request rather singular, btitj be* ing loath to refuse him, immediately apt about her inquiry fur the happiest lady ih : Naples, Her efforts were tedious aud dif ficult ; everybody she Could think off or who was pointed out to her, was found, ou searching nearer, to have her own share of troubles. Site was at length introduced to one who not only appeared to have all tho materials of worldly bliss, but bore every external mark of being cheerful and con tented in her situation. To this furttintttb lady the Countess preferred her request, making the circumstances of the coae an excuse for so strange an application. “My dear Countess,” said the lady, “spare all apology, for if I wero really qualified for the task, I would gladly un dertake it. But if you follow mo to an other room, I will prove to you that I am the most miserable woman in Naples.” So saying, she led the Countess to a ro* mote chamber, where there was nothing apparently but a curtain hung from tho ceiling to the floor* This being drawn aside, she disclosed, to the horror of her visitor, a skeleton suspended from a beaim “O, dreadful !” exclaimed the Countess* “ what means this ?” The lady regarded her mournfully, and said, after a moment’s silence : “ Tnis Wag a yotith who loved hie be fore my marriage, and with whom I tons oblige dto part when my relatives com* I polled me to marry my present husband Afterwards we renewed our acquaintance, and my husband, in his impatience at finding him in my presence.one day, drew his sWord and ran him through tho heart* He afterwards caused his skeleton to bo suspended here, and every night and morn ing since then Ims compelled mo .to conic and view these remains. To the world I may bear cheerful aspect, and seem pos* sessed of all the comforts of life, hut you may judge if 1 can really be entitled to the reputation you have givt n m• *. of am qual ified to execute your son’s commission.” The countess Corsini readily acknowl edged that her situation was most misers ble, and retired to her own house. “Alas I” she said to herself, u nc one in exempt from the die tresses atJ<l sorrows of life ; there id a skeleton in every house.” When she reached home she found* lei* ter informing her of the death of her on. The terrible news would have overturned her reason, or broken her heart, had not tha foresight of hw son prepared her to feel that others bad soriows as great as her own, and by alleviating them hor owuwtrd lightened. l #tl Southern’ Rights —Here iu the South we have a class of men who arrogate td themselves the peculiar championship of the Southern institutions. Tney are the would-be leaders, who profess to see noth ing good which docs not emanate from their own cracked brains/ and who pro nounce “very good” upon all their hetiono and doings. They are always protesting that they are loyal to the South, as if any body had ever expressed a doubt of It, bf as if they feared otherwise somebody would doubt it.
