SENATOR'S MANGUM's REMARKS,

SENATOR'S MANGUM'S REMARKS.
We invite the attention of readers of both par
fies to the admirable remarks of Senator Mangum,
delivered in the Senate few days since, on the oc-
asion of presenting the Wilmington Resolutions on
he Slavery question. Mr.. Mangum has spoken in
manner worthy of the exalted post he fills, as we'll
IS of the State which he in part represents. His
declarations will be made good. There is really nc
division here, among the people, this question. The
people of the North hold in their hands the desnes
Of this Confederation. They may perpetuate it, by
returning to those great principles of Cancellation and
compromise on which it is founded or they may de-
stroy it by continued aggressions and wrongs heaped
on the South. Let them decide wisely and at once
No time is to be lost. Twelve months hence may
be too late.'' -

GOVERNORS ELECTION.


A writer in the Hornets Nest, a Wing paper who
signs himself " Iredell," says Gov. Manly, far
he knows, g has made good Governor ~; but he
does not believe he can be reelected" The same
writer nominates the Hon. William B. Shepard for
Governor, as the 8" choice of the Wings" in that
part of the State Another writer in the paper,
who signs himself "A Wing of $780," also nomi-
mates Mr.. Shepard. He speaks Of him as "a gentle
man, scholar, a statesman, and an abused and in
jured public man." He says sit would be we'll
enough to teach the Raleigh Times, and those who
follow in its wake, that they not Sir Oracles as
to who should fill the Executive Chair of North Ca
roina and he adds that the Times and its hackers
have tried to kick too many good Wings out of the
party, merely because they do not bay their -
Mr.. Shepard is also nominated for Governor in the
Old North State, both by Correspondent and the
Editor. The Correspondent, I" Fair Play" alludes
to the undissembled chagrin of the Wings in the
Pasquotank region when Gov. Manly's nomination
was announced and the Editor, so far from saying
any thing in favor of Gov. Manly's denomination,
comes out in strong terms for Mr. Shepard. He says
Mr.. Shepard would " carry every thing before him.

Bees,'' and the other Hotspurs' feeHngy spoken
Of by the Locum Tenens, that individual has indeed
had hot time of it We observe by the Register that
he has flung up the reins, and like the New York
Juror described in that paper of Friday last, he is
king tracks from the ''Tripod with switness that
deies the lightning and "conumbles" space.
The Register of Friday last makes suggestion
for " the relief of the people," The "people" will
be "releved " indeed upon the retiracy of the Lo-
cum Tenens.
"The crsis,'' says the Register, has passed."
May the Locum Tenens pass " with it!

propriety and business of conforming to previous
custom on the subject of Gubernatorial incumbents-

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
lj AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady Engraved by
a D'Avignon. IA

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Bographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
nstrious in the service Of the country. Every por
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men, Mr.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established to need any
| recommendation His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living copntenance. III it yfr 4,
The drawings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves, The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; it
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de-
partments of life will have its representatives,. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of glorious nion will respond to APP
peal Tor encouragement and aid in socommendable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
the progress or American Art, and by grouping the
illnstrious of the Union together consolidate it
still more firmly l. s 16d 3rg5iif rltgasil
Asno work OF this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most OF citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging a very low price. They have, therefore,
