PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.

7 This learned and virtuous body assembled in
this City on Thursday evening last, and continued
its sittings until Saturday Rev JAMES PHILLIPS
of Chapel Hill, was chosen Moderator, and Rev
Messrs. ANDERSON and JOHNSON Clerks. .sThe
number of Ministers and Elders in attendance
was smaller than usual, owing, in a great measure
to the existence Of revivals in some sections and
sickness in others. The Presbyteries of ORANGE
and Fayetteville, we understand, had the largest
number in attendance
On Saturday evening Meeting was held for
the purpose of advancing the cause of Missions.
A statement was made, by gentleman whose
name we did not hear, of the operations of the
Board for the last ten years, and Addresses were
delivered by the Rev Messrs ANDERSON and
PLuMMER. The address of the former gentle.
man was brief but striking and eloquent in its
character, whilst that of the latter was more Ella.

Pagan customs, and 70 the great necessitv which

HON. BEpFoRp BROWN.

We perceive with extreme regret that this dis
tinguishsd gentleman contemplates leaving North
Carolina. Thirty years, we believe, have nearly
elapsed since Col. Brown entered the service o1
the people ofthis State, as member of the Legls
lature from the sterling democratic county Of Gas
well. In 1916, the Legislature was distinguished
for high talent; many of the great men who now
shed lustre upon their beloved Commonwealth,
were members of it but Col. Brown soon took
a prominent stand among them, and gave bright
presages of those commanding qualities of mind
and heart which have since more fully developed
themselves, and raised him TO a high position in
the public estimation. AS member of that most
respectable body, Col. Brown was characterfz-
ed by energy, ability, and high integrity; and
throughout the stormy period of Mr.. MADISON
administration, he preserved and practised, as he
has constantly done since, those pure and i'm
perishable principles of democratic truth, which
have constituted and now constitute the crowning
glory of his life And when elevated to the au-
gust post of National Senator his talents expand
ed with remarkable facility to the measure of the
station he was called to occupy. Through light
and through darkness; amid prosperity and amid
disaster, he held to the principles and bat
tied for the same great truths; and long, very
long will it be, ere the green laurels he won by
the side of CALHOUN and BENTON, shall perish
from the admiring gaze of the lovers of consitu-
tional freedom.
! Dating from the last war the commencement of
his political career; elevated and strengthened in
all his purposes for good by the fiery trials of that
uncertain and dangerous period; always the fear
less champion of democracy, and the friend of the
poor man-the withdrawal of Col BROWN from
our midst would be we'll calculated at any time to
stir up recollecons of the past, as well as to cre-
ate the conviction that the loss of such aman could
not easily be repaired. But especially do we need
now his strong and scorching eloquence, and the
weight of that bold arm of his, which has won the
day for the right cause in so many popular bat
Iles and as we need him much, and regard him
with sincere and deep affection, so we depIore the
existence of any reasons strong enough to incline
him to leave the State. If he aoiU CO. however,
we hope that whatever Of happiness in private life
he anticipates may go with him; and that his for-
tunes in the distant West may be as brilliant and
auspcious as his most ardent friends could desire

MOVEMENTS OF THE DEMOCRACY.

MOVEMENTS OF THE DEMOCRACY
Wepublish this week, on our first page, the
proceedings of a. Democratic Republican Meeting
recently held in Franklin. Our friends there, it
will be seen, have formed Democratic Associa-
tion and are going into the contest with COM
mendable ardor and enthusiasm. Read the pro-
ceedihgs of their meeting
See also, in another column, the proceedings Of
the Democratic Meeting in Rockingham. Their
resolutions breathe the true spirit of democratic
truth; and whilst they avow preference for the
Presidency, as they have an undoubted right to
do, they nevertheless pledge themselves to abide
the decision of the Democratic National Conven-
tien. No where are there democrats truer or
frmer than those of Rockingham.
We publish also this week, from that excellent
journal, the Mecklenburg Jeffersonian," the pro-
ceedings of Democratic Meeting of the citizens
of Mecklenburg and Union counties. The JEFF
fersohian says: The meeting was one of the
largest and most spirited meetings we have ever
seen in this place The resolutions were adopted
with entire unanimy and the whole proceedings
will be found below 1t will be seen, that our
proposition for a convention of the young men of
our party was heartily sanctioned by the meeting,
and we now feel doubly warranted in urging its
adoption upon our party. The speech of Maj.
Ellis, of Salisbury, was really one of the best eff
forts of the sort we have listened to for time
1t reused the slumbering spirit of our democracy,
and proved that, though young, Maj. E. is able to
cope with any of his political foes in the ap-
contest"

The above extract furnishes, however, a pretty

PARTIzAN VINDICTIVENEss.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
IN noticing speech made by Henry Clay in a
criminal case at Lexington, Kentucky, says:
Sometimes he poured ont the most indignant and bit
