which produced the most rapturous
appreciation.
Judge Law being loudly called for,
came forward and made an elabo-
rate speech, reviewing with candid
feeling the rise and fall of several of
the European Kingdoms and EN-
pires, the adoption of slavery in
Georgia and its probable adoption
in California after two years, which,
while we admired his appeals for
Union among ourselves, we could
not make consistent to our own
views of the probability. The Judge
made many points in his oratory and
appeals, ana was listened to with
marked respect. His remarks were
favorable to Mr.. Clay's plan, though
he was willing, he said, to accept
any plan for Union.
1t being past eleven O'Clock a call
was made to adjourn, but was
drowned by loud call for DR. Ar
mold, who came forward and made
one of the most eloquent addresses
we have listened to for long time.
1t was in support of Southern meas
urcs, and free from that anti-Souih-
crn dialogue which clothed many of
the remarks. DIR. Arnold remarks
were received with the most enthu-
siastic cheers.
Tie resolutions were here called
for, and AT the same time loud call
was made for the resolutions adopted
at the meeting on Tuesday night
last, which suffice it to say were
adopted, by vote of about four to
one, with three cheers.
We consider the enthusiastic
voice Of this meeting as conclusive OF
the feelings of our citizens in favor of
the Missouri line of SO 80, and the
Nashville Convention. The meet

RICHMOND, July 90.
"The Castle of Richmond stands
fair on the HILL" SO says the old bal
lad, and we will rejoice that the city
stands gallanter still" This is our
first visit to the capital ofthc Old Do
m;nion, and we are astonished to
find city of so much beauty and of
such striking featurcs--it is by far
the most beautiful and picturesque
city that we have seen upon the At
lantic coast. 1t is filled with magni-
ficent buildings, and the most splcn-
did views Of scenery are to be had
from its lofty hills; of course we have
had but little opportunity of seeing,
but that little has enchanted us, and
we would suggest TO our Carolina
friends, coming this way, to arrange
their plans SO as to give day to this
city, as they will be abundant!y re-
warded for the time so disposed of.
Yesterday was Sundav-we had but
a slight peep of the population; we
saw them only in their Sunday garb,
and had no opportunity of forming
correct estimate OF their charac.er
This city is SAID to contain about
thirty-live thousand inhabitants, and
is filled with numerous workshops,
and has large number of artisans
The city appears TO have been built
upon scvcra! steep hills, which, how
ever it might add to its beauty, has
one decided disadvantage: it causes
the bellies of the city to walk on their
heels instead of their toes, as the Pa
risian women do. The ladies in ap-
preaching you expose the entire
sole of their sboes-this is decidedly
ungracciul. but ii is not the fault of
the dear creatures, but misfortune of
this precipituous city; for it is impos-
sible to walk up or down hills in Miss

These Richmond beauties, of neces-
sity, must be very strong in the an
l<le, and on even ground will dance
we'll and kick hard. We hope that
some of our young Carolina bloods
will stop short on this side of Mason
and Dixon's line and try the mettle
of some of these proud daughters of
