STANDARD FOR THE SESSION.
DEATH OF GOV. sPAIGHT.

We record, with profound regret. the death of the
Hon. RICHARD DoRBs SPAIGHT, of Craven County
in this State. He expired at his residence, at Cler-
mont, near Newbern, on Sunday morning last, at 8
o'clock, in the Saith year of his age.
Gev. Spaight had frequently represented his native
County, Craven in both branches of the Legislature;
and he had served, with much credit himself and
his constituents. in the Congress of the United
States. He the last Governor of this State un-
der the old Constitution.
After his retirement from public life, the expira-
ton of his term Governor in 1886, he turned his
attention to the pursuits of Agriculture, minglng
with them love for Literature, and cultvating still
more extensive acquaintance with the history of the
past He possessed remarkably tenacious m emory,
so that what he read became portion of his mind
and added to this powers of discrimination and
habits of judgment seldom surpassed. Quiet and
unostentatous, his accomplishments as a scholar and
his sterling qua tes private citizen, were known
to but few /; but among those who shared his conf
dence and friendship, he held deservedly in the
highest respect and esteem. In his public capacity
while serving his constituents, whether in the Legs-
lature, in Congress, in the Gubernatorlal Chair
he was uniformly actuated and guided by stern
sense of right and occasion did he disappoint
the just expectations of those who had conded
or power to his hands. Gov. Spaight was Repub-
lican of the old school, and was true, always and
from the first, to the great principles which our
free institutions have been founded He had the full
est confidence In the people and in popular forms
and he willing, therefore, all occasions, to
defer to their decisions and their Judgment But he
had no respect for the demagogue or his What
he thought public matters, he fearessly said and
what he determined right in principle, he did,
without regard to temporary excitement to
quences generally. He thus showed himself en-
lghtened and sagacious friend of the people, and q
faithful advocate of their real interests.
Gov. Spaight's father of North Cardinals
most honored and popular Governors; and the man.
tie of the father fell upon the We need not say
how well it has been worn, for the character of the
son, well that of the father, is now a portion
of the States history.
In his private relations Gov. Spaight hospita-
BILE and generous, and devoted to his friends.
The death Of such creates not only feeling
of profound regret the circle in which he moved but
it is loss to the State generally May the sod Test
lightly on his mortal remains, and his memory be as
green hereafter tits precious to his sorrowing
friends

The Hon. Daniel Webster, being on his return to
the seat of Government, had grand reception in
New York to-day. In answering the speech of
welcome, delivered by Hiram Ketchum, Mr. Web
ster said that he approved the sentiments Of the
Union meeting lately held at Castle Garden. and de-
clared himself always ready to carry them out. Fl
spoke of the proposes for which the Union Gre
ated The main was TO protect trade and COM
merce. When these were endangered he believed it
time rally for It's protection. The Union could not
be in danger when the spirit of the People was awak-
ened for its defence. Conventions North and South
could do no harm. The objects for which Govern
ment was formed of greater importance now
than before, and the people will not aban-
don them. We shall continue to live together in union
as long as we cherish interests that make US one
people. MIR. Webster was su ,limely eloquent, and
was loudly cheered. ~ ~ 49,.

press says, upon himself mainly, upon the Compro-

There is said to be nothing in the Speech. 1t
is but repetition of Benton and his peculiar whims
and notions. The New York Post (FreesoiD is of
course delighted with it, and wants to make Presi-

They have curious law in Massachusetts. in re-
gard to the election of Governor and U. S. Senator.
In case of no candidate for Governor receiving ma
iorty of the popular vote the House of Representa-
tives will select from among the four highest cand-
dates voted for by the people. tco men, one of whom
will be selected by the Senate, to which body their
names sent from the House. The four candidates
voted for by the people were Boutwell,, (Democrat)
Briggs. (Whigs) Phillips, (Abotionist) and Cogs.
well Of Bedford, who the s. Women's candidate"
and received some thirty votes.
The Boston Times says, that Cogswel is just as
eligible candidate either of the other persons
named, though admits that his chances of an cleo
ton are slightly inferior those of the Democratic
and Wing candidates. He "valiautly hoisted the
pettcoat some time since, and as that is banner
der which men OF all parties ready to form
coalitions, we should not be dspleased to see him
elected-if we can't get Mr.. Boutwell,"
AS the House will be anti-Whig, the Boston
Times thinks that The candidates sent to the Senate
will be either Boutwell, and Briggs, or Boutwell, and
Phillips. ..e @ 4
similar rule exists in regard to the election of u
S. Senator. He has to be chosen first by one House
and then confirmed by the other. 1t is probable that
under the circumstances, no one can be elected. If
Caleb Gushing cannot be chosen, we should be
pleased to see no electon-or the South cannot bot
lose by the success of Winthrop any other man
spoken of for the place. Rich. Eng.
