NORTH CAROLINA BIBLE SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of this Society was held ir
the Presbyterian Church, in shis City, on Sunday
evening last. In the absence of the President o
the Society, the Hon. Duncan Cameron, the Hon
d. L. Swain, one of the Vice Presidents, took the
Chair
The meeting was opened with prayer by the
Rev. T. w. Tobey, after which the Rev. Petel
Doub read portion of the Scriptures.
Gov. Swain referred in touching manner to the
physical prostraton of the venerable President o.
the Society, which prevented his attendance at the
meeting; and he observed, in the course of his
remarks, that he had no doubt that Judge Cameron
looked upon his long connexion with this Society
with more pleasure than upon all the offices, i'm
portant and distinguished as they had been, which
he had ever filed
The Rev. Mr. Deruewelle, State agent of the Sc
cety, addressed the meeting, giving quite an inter
estne account of his labors in distributing among
the people the word of God. He was followed by the
Rev. DIR. Brigham, Secretary of the American Bible
Society," who spoke for nearly an hour in relation
to the operations of the Society and the vast bene
fits conferred by it in distributing the Bible both
in this and other countries. Dr. Brigham's remarks
were repete with most interesting facts and stats
tics, which we regret our lack of space to present
| to our readers.
The Rev. DR.. Lacy then called upon gentlemen
members of the Legislature present, to entertain
the Society with remarks; whereupon the Hon
James G.. Dobbin took the floor and spoke for halt
an hour in his most eloquent and impressive man
ner the subject of the Bible, its elevat ng and
nd +bo;
ance of giving to it the fullest and widest dissent
nation. He was followed by Samuel F. Phillips,
Esq, who, though evidently unprepared for the CALL
spoke with his accustomed force and good sense
upon the great cause to sustain and advance which
the meeting had been assembled.
Gov. Swain then addressed the meeting He
produced and read some documents, prepared and
issued by the Congress during our revolutionary
struggle, showing the feeling of dependence upon
characterized the conduct of our forefathers and
he attributed to this feelng-to this trust in an
everything Power-to this dependence upon Divine
aid, the triumph which crowned our arms in that
great struggle. He said our liberties were bottom
ed on the Bible, and they could not endure if the
Bible should cease to be circulated and read. Gov
Swain spoke for some time in his best manner
and when he had concluded, and after benediction
by the Rev. DR.. Brigham, the meeting adjourned
We are gratifed to learn that there is a growing
interest in the Bible cause, and that the prospect
of good from the operations of the Society is
constantly widening and expanding. 1t is a cause
which should command the contributions and enlist
the efforts of all.

FREE sUFFRAGE-MR. EDWARDS.


! .The Raleigh Register, speaking of the defeat o.
the Free Suffrage bill in the Senate, makes the fol
lowing declaration
1t is well known that the Senator from Warren,
lMr Edwards was elected on the ground of his op.
position to this measure. He and his friends, nc
doubt as true Democrats - any in the State, made
that the main ssueein the campaign"
Now, with all Difference to the opinion of the Reg
lister, must say that in the above assertion, he is
mistaken. That the friends of Mr.. Edwards who
first started in the movement to solicit him become
candidate for the Senate, did it because of his known
opposition to Free Suffrage do not DENY, but this
was not the case with all who supported him in the
election. Some weeks previous to the election, a
letter was gotten up by antFree Suffrage Democrats
and Wings, soliciting Mr.. Edwards to become can.
ddate for The Senate. This letter was circu lated
throughout the county, and Ue kn0o that many per-
sons signed it who are and always have been strong
iy in favor of Free Suffrage. Why they did it we
caunot say but it is After Gen. Hawkins be-
came candidate, (Which he did upon strong solici-
aton and contrary to the expectation of great many
there were those who, agreeing with him upon the
question of Free Suffrage, would have voted for him,
but considered themselves pledged to the support oil
Mr.. Edwards after having solicited him to become a
candidate.
1t is very certain that there was no direct and open
issue made ON the subject during the campaign; fol
Mr.. Edwards was out of the County during the
whole time, and consequently did not DISCUSS the
question before the people, and his friends in urging
his claims, certainly did not press his opposition to
Free Suffrage for his election all whom
they approached. These things being so, we feel
warrentsd in saying that Mr.. Edwards not elect.
ed on the ground of his opposition to the measure,
and hence the assertion we have made heretofore,
that" Warren County-even the Freeholders of War.
rem County-are in favor OF Free Suffrage
We may be mistaken in views and opinions in
regard to the feeling of the reehoders in the County
or the subject but there is fact upon which we
know not mistaken, and that u.s., that several
persons who signed the letter of Mr.. Edwards, ask
Ing him to become candidate, and who afterwards
voted for him. openly proessed to be in favor of Free
Suffrage, and some of them went far propose
holding meeting time after the election to in
struct him to for it in the Senate when it should
come up. Warrent0n NeUs.

SOUND CIRCULATION. We agree with the N
Y. Journal of Commerce, that subject which re-
uuires the immediate attention of Congress, is thai
OF our silver currency. which has been inconvenl'
emily scarce. AS have frequently urged, the
market value of silver prevents its offer for coinage
by dapostors, while. the same cause prohibits the
Mint from purchasing it. There is no reasonable OBJ
lection to red ucton of the standard weight of the
silver coin to such extent enable the Diree-
tors of the Mint, without loss. to supply the wants
of the community. If this measure were separated
from the seignorage upon gold coin, and other ques-
tions which embarrassed the bill before Congress at
its last session, it would secure almost unanimous
approval and afford great relief to the whole coun-
try The present standard weight of the silver dol
lar is 4l23 grains. If coin, representing fractional
parts of dollar, were allowed at the rate Oh sou
grains-halves, quarters, dimes, and half-dImes,
could be issued from silver purchased at its market
value and become plenty for the purposes of change
without damage to single interest throughout the
whole of the Confederacy. Such coin should be re-
ceivable for duties, which would prevent an over Is
sue by the government and it would take the place
now literally vacant in the wants of all classes OF
the people. Rech. Enquirer.

FRENCH ANNEXATION OF MEXICAN TERRITORY.
One of the most noticeable and significant of events
lust w. and of which further particulars are given
in our Geographic column this morning. is the defeat
of the Mexican General Banco in the State OF Sono-
IA by the French Count Rousset Boulbot and his ad-
herents, consisting of French emigrants. Indians,
with the addition that the conquerer has proclaim
ed Sonora independent and annexed to France
The government of France it is known has been
for some time encouraging and assisting the emlgra-
tion of its citizens to California, who have mostly
zone thence into the Mexican State of Sonora, and
the result is as stated 1t seems most probable how
ever that the Counts annexation proclamation is on

THE SENATORSHIP.

The two Houses of the Assembly of this State
voted again on Friday last for Senator of the
United States in place of Mr.. Mangum. No cleo
ton. Mr. Dobbin, the Democratic nominee, re-
ceived so votes and lacked but two votes of an
election. The bulk of the Wing party voted fol
Mr. n W. Woodfn, of Buncombe.
Two Whigs-Messrs. Holeman and Blow-rc-
ted for Mr.. Dobbin on this occasion; but Messrs
Gotten and Watson voted for Mr.. Shepard, and Mr.
Love for Mr.. J. R. J. Daniel. Two of these three
Democrats could have secured Mr.. Dobbin's cleo
ton.
The two Houses, it is understood, will vote again
to-day, Tuesday.
Mr.. Dobbin, we have no hesitation in saying is
the choice of large majority of the party in the
State; and such is his personal popularity that,
but for the sim: lie fact of his being the Democrat
ic nominee, he would, in all probability, have been
elected ere this by Wing votes.
We sincerely hope that the Democrats and the
States Rights men combined in the Assembly, will
see to it, at all hazards, that Mr.. Woodfn is not
elected. We have one Consolidationist too many
already in the Senate from North Carolina.
Whatever the result may be, we shall claim the
right, in the of week or so, of expressing
our views freely and fully upon past and present
events connected with this election.
