Mr.. Webster's coume-unexpected as light

der from Massachusetts. The Boston .4fds has
from the first severely censured Mr. Webster
in some respects we thought too severely, as in
deed the corrections of the speech proved The

The same paper of Monday last also contains
sca,hing reply from the Hon. Horace Mann, the
worthy successor in Congress of JoHs QUINCY
ADAMS. Mr.. Adams himself could hardly have
performed the work more completely. 1t is now
said that Mr.. Winihrsp, tho Representative Of
Boston in Congress, aud laIe Speaker, will also
take ground against Mr. Webster. The proba-
bility is that erery member from Massachusetts
will dissent from the distinguished Senator.

Obituary.

Died. 81 The residence Of her father in this place,
on Monday morning last. Mrs. Assr Hour, wife
Of DIR. Michael Holt. Of AIamance, and daughter
Of DIR. James Webb. She was in her SCH year,
and Ieii five helpless children. too young to he
conscious ofthe greatness oftheir loss. To anu
merous circle Of relatives and friends. she had en-.
deared herself by the natural gcn,leness Of her
disposition, and above all by the christian eharac-
ter which she manifested Early in life she gave
herself to the Saviour, and il may be truly said Of
her. that she adorned the doctrine Of God her sa-
,iour by meek and transformations exhibition Of
the christian graces. Few have lived more res
pecied and beloved by large circle, and few have
died more lsmenied.
Her life. and especially her death, were beau
tful illustration Of the passage Of scripture from
which her funeral discourse was preached: In
all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him that loved u.s."
She was a conqucror through Him in whom
she trusted. Calmly, patiently and peacefully
she met death. Hers was not the courage Of
excite mont or Of fana,icisn, but the calm COM
posure Of Path, Of Hope. A weak female thus
calmly bids farewell to her aged parents, to her
weeping and heartbioken husband, to her uncon-
scious babes, her beloved friends, and turns un-
shrinking and undaunted 10 the grave,nnd casts
her longing eyes to the rest remaining ior her.
These arc the triumphs Of faith and patience and
hope. Blessed are The dead who die in the Lord.

SUPERIOR COURT FOR ORANGE.

The suil between Dowd and Hanks
VAS disposed Of last week. -ihe verdict OF
she jury being twenty shiliings damages
In favor OF The former. As The damages
are less Than forty shillings the rosls viii
be no more Than The damages. and The re-
eoyery is therefore merely nominal. Many
Witnesses 10 The number of thirty and up-
wards were in attendance; and the whole
Of one day, Wednesday. was consumed
in examination ofihe evidence. On Thurs
day the ronnsel on both sides we've en-
gagged in speaking. and AZ about o'clock
p. NJ. the Judge delivered bis charge to
the jury. who did not render their verdict
until the next day sfIer dinner.
The extraordinary nature Of the suit. the
heavy amount Of damages demsnded by
the plaintiff. the warm personal attachment
ellclled from the friends Of both parties, oil
tended TO produce interest and excitement.
The ingenuity Of opposing counsel was
taxed To The highest. and much learning
and eloquenee were d splayed during The
progress OF The suit. Messrs. Rcughlon
Jarkson and Norwood appeared for the
plaintiff; and Mtssrs. Sieadman, Waddel
and Graham for the defendant.
Mitchell Andrews received twenty lash

CONGRESS-.

Il seems TO be the determination Of both houses
of congrcss to debate lhc Slavery Question to the
fullest ex,ent--ihat every member that has any
desire to speak shall have an opportunity Of ex.
pressing his siews--before any action shall be had
on the subject, consequently very little has YET
been done.
On "Wednesday the 18th, in the Senate, Mr.
Foote'S proposition to refer Mr.. Bells resolu-
tons TO committee Of thirteen, with view to
framing compromise, was taken up, when de-
bate occurred which is thus sunmirily reported
Mr.. Webster had no expectation that
any series Of resolutions would pass this
body. He had signified thai he would
give his views Of The boundaries Of Cali
fornia. lie was convinced hat the only
mode TO pursue was to admit California as
she was. and with her proposed bounda-
ries. He would take an opportunity to
show this.
Mr.. Cass said there was little hope from
this committee. II offered no chance of
terminating this fearful controversy. He
had seldom seen greater instance of
moral courage than was exhibited by the
gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Foole)
in his reply 10 Mr.. Calhoun.
The country owed debt 10 the Sena-
tor from Mississippi (Mr. Foole) for his
noble efforts TO bring abonl an adjustment
Of this controversy, and for placing him
self IN opposition TO The views of the Sc.
major from South Carolina. Mr.. Calhoun.)
whose views, however much we might
admire him. we could not avow.
The Senator from South Carolina had,
in effect, announced that our Republic was
ended, and The days Of our Union num-
bered. He would not, except on sick
bed. have,lictaed such speech.
We have been here three months and
done nothing. There were some hopes.

The line and on.inlervenlion south Of il.
Mr.. Calhoun-We are judges of that
ourselves.
Mr.. Cass-Will any Senator from The
south vote fnr the Missouri compromise
Mr.. Foole-l never will.
Mr.. Cass--No southern man will vote
for compromise which will moi establish
slavery south Of that line.
Mr.. Fooie would not, he said, 60 for a
southern proviso or northern proyiso.

Slavery into every part Of the territory I'M
der consideration.
Mr.. cass said there was one thing we
could do. We could pass The fugitive
slave ACT. That we were bound to do.
This was the only distinct grievance
which The south complained Of.
Mr. Cass spoke very strongly on the
subject Of Mr.. Stewards speech. which
he said was the most dangerous speech
that he ever heard.
Mr.. Seward vindicated himself by say
ing thai his patty .(the whigs) were op-
posed 10 slavery; and slavery was The
natural ally Of the northern democracy.

SOUTHERN RIGHTS MEETING IN
GRANVILLE.

Many rumors were in circulation,
during the close Of the last week, res
pecting the proceedings of this Meeting
at Oxford, on Tuesday week. As the
official proceedings may not appear for
some days to come, reliable friend, at
our request, has furnished us with the
following account:
According to previous notice, a large
and respectable number Of citizens
without respect of party, assembled in
the Court House on Tuesday, the 5th
instant, (being the week Of Granville
Superior Court.) The meeting being
organized, by selecting a Chairman and
Secretary, a Committee was appointed,
who reported series of Resolutions,
the adoption Of which was warmly adj
vocated by the Chairman thereof.
But, before the vote was taken on the
same, on motion, Committee was APP
pointed by the Chairman to wait upon
and invite the Hon. Romulus Nj. Saun-
ders to address to Meeting; and upon
the motion of another, the Committee
was also directed to wait upon and in
yite John Kerr, esq. In a short time,
the Committee returned, bringing with
them Gen. Saunders and Mr.. Kerr.
Gen. Saunders being first introduced,
addressed the Meeting in speech pa
triotic in its character, expressing strong
attachment to the Union, and discount
tenancing, in decided terms, all efforts
to ALLEVIATE one portion Of the country
from the other. He was understood to
say that, although it was true that in the
matter of not surrendering fugitive
Slaves, the North had not done us full
justice, and perhaps in some other res
poets they may have behaved badly; but
he saw no sufficient cause, from what
they had done, for dissolving, or threa-
tening the dissolution of this great and
glorious Union. When they do, then
the South will be found united-but
they have done nothing as yet to justi-
fy the extreme and violent measures
spoken of by some, though it was true
that the North-or rather portion Of
the people of the North, had been re-
miss in their duty in the respect allud-
ed to, still he thought it furnished no
sufficient excuse for the wholesale abuse
heaped upon the North. He did not
like to hear it. When, said he, the
North shall make aggressions upon our
rights; when they shall commit an
overt act; it will be time enough for us
to talk of dissolving the Union. They
have done nothing Of that sort as yet.
He knew the Northern people in the
main to be as patriotic, and as strongly
attached to the Constitution and Union
as the people ofthe South. That when
ever 1T became necessary to protect the
Constitution, and stand by the Union,
the people of the North would not be
behind their brethren of the South in
discharging their obligations to all por-
tons of the country. He referred to
Gov. Dickinson, and said there were
