DEMOCRATIC MEETING-MR. HEN
RVS ADDRESS,

An unusually large concourse of the people
were in Town on Friday last, for the purpose of
hearing Mr.. Henry speak. There had been a
small mistake about the day; the first notice given
out was for Thursday but for reasons connected
with the business of the Court, then in session,
the time was changed to Friday. The people,
however came in by scores. A little after l2
that Mr. Henry would now proceed to address the
people In few minutes our large and spacious
Courthouse was filled, and many left out AS
no preparation had been made at any other place,
it was necessary to continue in the Courthouse
though it was too full for comfort.
Mr. Henry addressed the crowd, who heard
him with great attention, for about three hours,
during the whole of which time, although many
were under the necessity of standing, but few left
the house We shall not attempt to make re-
port of his speech: it was able, eloquent and of
the right kind alike plain, fOrcible, and bold
It'was about equally divided between Federal and
State affairs The latter was rather new to the
people, and they listened to the facts and argu-
ments presented by the Speaker, with close atten-
ton. Unless we are much mistaken the concerns
of the State will excite some more than usual in
tnrest, and create not little trouble among the
Wings, the next summer. The Whig members
of the Legislature have some heavy scores to set
tie, They will not. be able to slip behind log
cabins this time, but will have to stand FORTH and
answer for the deeds done at Raleigh.
Mr.. Henry was strong on the subject of the
Banks, from the United States Bank down to the
smaller shaving shops This is a subject that
begins now to attract the earnest and rejecting
attention of the people-of that great mass who
have been so long swindled out of their hard earn
ings to support the luxury of cunning 'inancers,
gentlemen that are too lazy to work, and are un-
willing to descend to the vulgarism of common
stealing the wholesale robberies of these privi-
legged monopoles are latterly seen in their naked
atrocity and their dishonest practices will be
much longer tolerated We repeat our conviction
that spirit is every day gathering strength which
will bring about the overthrow of the whole sys-
tenn in this country at no distant period

THE DULLNEss OF HIGH LIFE

The following passages in the Memoirs of the
Duchess of St Adams, contain sad and home
truth: "Few persons have seen so much of the va
rious aspects, [ may say of the two extremes of
life, as myself; and few persons, therefore, can be
better Judges ofthe difference between great wealth.
but, after all, this does not by any MEANS consti
tute the chief and most important distinction be.
tween the high and low states No-the singular,
the striking contrast is not in the external circum-
stances, but in the totally opposite minds ofthe two
classes to their respective enjoyment of existence
The society in which 1 formerly moved was all
cheerfulness, all high spirits-all fun frolic and
vivacity; they cared for nothing, thought of moth
ing, beyond the pleasures of the present hour, and
to those they gave themselves up with the keenest
relish. Look at the circles in which now move
can any thing be more weary, STALE fat and un-
profitable, than their whole course of life2 Why,
one might as well be in the treadnIil as tolling in
the stupid, monotonous round of what they call
pleasures but which, In fact is very cherries and
heavy work. Pleasure, indeed when all merri-
ment all hilarity, all Indulgence of natural emo
tions IT they be of joyous nature are declared to
be vulgar. There can be no cordiality where
there is much exclusiveness and primness mol all
is GOODNESS, reserve, and universal ennui, even
where this starchness ofmanner is unaccompanied
by any very strict rigor IN matters of conduct
Look, now, at those quadrilledancers in the other
room; they have been supping, they have been
drinking as much champagne as they liked; the
band is capital; the men are young and the girls
are pretty; and yet did you ever see such crawling
movements solemn looks, as if they were
all dragging themselves through the most irksome
tasks in the world2 Oil what different thing
was countrv-dance in my Younger dayS!"

DEATH BY LIGHTNING.

We were visited on Friday evening the 25th
uIt. with storm of short duration, during which
rain fell copiously, accompanied by lightning and
thunder
While the captain and crew of the schooner
Texas, of Cape May, lying at Hunters wharf
were in the cabin. flash of lightning entered
one of the crew, who was native of Cape May
Captain Ross felt the shock very sensibIy, but sus
tanned no injury.
The schr. Cohannet, lying in the dock at Com
merce street wharf and Woodside's Lane, was al
so struck by lightning; her foretopmast was shat
tered to splinters, and foremast badly shiyered.-
Fortunately no person was injured on board Of

That very sparkling paper, the New York Arena,

United States Bank in that city, by auction
One lot put up by the Sheriff and knocked off to
the highest bidder consisted of notes to the amount
of upwards of S38, ,000 1t was sold to Mr.. Alsop
for four hundred dollars In the lot were obliga-
tions of the god-like Daniel Webster for $4,000.
One of these notes for S12 $50 is without endorser.
The other note of $4,000 is endorsed by ]. S.
Jones, brother-in-law of Mr.. Webster, by his pre-
sent and third wife Mr.. Jones few years since

the fact is stated that he laid out at time sixty
thousand dollars in the construction of artificial

HoRRID TRAGEDY.

Murder of an actoY-A most horrible and fa-

After the curtain had dropped at the conclusion of
the first act ofthe first piece, quarrel ensued be-

bin, both attached to the Theatre, in which the
latter plunged dagger to the heart of Mr.. Ew-
