SEWARD DoDaINe TO SAVE ScoTr. At thee close
Of Congress-, Mr.. Sumner moved an amendment to
the appropriation b to the effect that no part of
the appropriation for executing the laws should be
used for the execution Of the fugitive slave aw.''
Messrs. Hale, Chase, Sumner and Wade voted for
it, but Seward, of the same abolition clique, was
missing! The New York Herald noticing this mat
ter, says, very aptly:
The reason is evident, however, why Seward de-
clined to vote Senator Summers amendment. 1t
might perhaps have injured his friend Gen. Scott,
whose prospects in Maryland and Tennessee al
ready sufficiently doubtful to be desperate. And
the arch agitator, when called the mark upon
the fugitive slave law, lodges it, and, thievng
dog. who knows when kick is coming, tucks his tail
between his legs and sneaks away, did the grea,
leader of Northern disunion steal off from the direc,
question in the Senate. What became of Seward
when that vote was taken7 Can Mr.. Mangrm, Of
Mr.. Fish, oranybody else, answer the question And
why was it that Seward did not vote upon Sumner
amendment!

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature of this State will assemble in
this City, on Monday next, in special session, having
been convened before the, usual time by the Gov
error and Council. This State loses, by the late
Census, one Electoral vote. It has therefore be-
come necessary to rearrange the Electoral Districts.
After this business shall have been transacted how
ever it is probable the Assembly win go forward
and complete all the business before it, before ad-
journing.
The session will no doubt be a protracted one.
Much more legislation will be required than at any
previous session for the last ten years; and we
think it probable, all things considered, that the
legislature will not adjourn before the 1st of the
ensuing January.
4 number of members are already in the City.
Nearly all Of them will doubtless be here this
evening or tomorrow.

Q-What do you think of Gen. Scott, on the

A--"That he is great General nobody denies,
but he has shown no aptitudes for civil life."
Q-Don't you believe in military availability?
A." We have had too recent experience that a
military genius may be wholly without fitness for
civil life, to repeat the experiment. Let us be ad-
monished by our late almost fatal experiment.

ination fully expresseds
A-1n my speech above referred to, and you
will see that therein state that "for more than
year Gen. Scott has been the known candidate OF
the Freesoil wing Of the Whig party. Even his
friends in the South have co-cperated with them to
strangle all acknowledgment of the Compromise in
Congress or the Convention. They finally gave
him the nomination: to them he must look for his
election, and to them he must mainly look for aid
and advice in carrying on the government. I'm.
der these circumstances, he never can receive my
support"

SCOTT AND JOHNSTON.

We ask the serious attention of Southern men to
the following. from the Norfolk Argus:

candidate for President has taken Pennsylvania IN
his course to Kentucky, and has made official er-
rand merely political mission. says the Onion he

tenton Of the South and of the national men OF the
North, to this suggestive coincidence pointing, as
il does most conciosvely, the fact that the body
ouard Of General Scott in the North is composed OF
the abolition Seward organization; and that this fac.
zion will control his administration if elected:

lation to the Wing Mass CD Meeting at HILLSIDE
rough.
"The Wing meeting here last week was evidently
an uphill business. They tried hard to get up an
excitement, but failed. The next day they were as
dull and fiat as ever. l satisfied they did them
selves no good. The Democrats are in high spirits.
They cannot be gulled by putting Graham on the
Seward ticket. "
The above, be it remembered, comes from Or

did not take wide range, being confined mostly
to matters connected with the soundness of the
Presidential candidates of the two parties on the
slavery question. Messrs. Miller and Rencher spoke
one hour and half each, and then replied in half
hour speeches. Our informant assures us that Mr..
Rencher fully and ably sustained himself in the

THE GREENVILLE MASS MEETING.
We copy from the last Goldsborough Republi-
can and Patriot the following notice of the Demo-
cratic Mass Meeting in Greenville:
"MAss MEETING AT GREENvILLE. The Democratic
Mass Meeting at Greenvie on Friday and Saturday
last was fine affair, and was attended by between
fifteen hundred and two thousand persons, we have
heard it estimated Everything passed off to the en-
lire satisfaction of all concerned. On Friday alter
noon Gen. Saunders delivered speech of much
length, and of great ability and which was received
with marked appreciation. At night Gen. Singeltary
addressed the crowd, creating much enthusiasm by
his spirited remarks. After he had closed. Hon. Jas.
G.. Dobbin was called upon, who responded IN
brief Speech closing with an announcement that he
would address the meeting at ii O'Clock next morn
np. At intervals on Friday night rockets and Ro-
man candles were off, and the loud roar OF the
cannon marked both Friday and Saturday as days OF
rejoicing among the Democracy OF Fit. On oa'uT-
day Mr.. Dobbin made speech some three hours 10
length to large crowd OF W hgs and Democrats.
II was listened to with profound attention, and we
understand produced shaking among the dry bones
of Whpgery in Pitt, that will show itself on the day
| Of election. Mr.. Dobbin was followed by " m. b.

closed the ceremonies of the occasion ny shor'

SATURDAY., but declined to speak account OF lndis
position lie announced however that he should ad-
dress the Democracy of Pitt some time during the
campaign. Every thing passed off 10 the entire e
qualification of all concerned and the democracy o.

the Democratic cause by the speakers present, has
infused new spirit among our friends in that coun
", and they determined to labor from this unIi
the day of election carry it for Pierce and King.
| That they will succeed we havn't doubt
We learn that Gen. Saunders also addressed a
large and attentive audience at Wilson, Edgecombe,
on Tuesday last. The lion-hearted Democracy OF

forces for the conflict; and We expect glorious It'd

THE BLACK SwAN.-Mss Greenfield made her
de but in this city on Saturday evening, before
large and brilliant audience, in the Lecture Room Of
the Young Mems Association The concert was
complete triumph for her; won, too, from discrim-
mating auditory, not likely to be caught with chat,
and none too willing to suffer admiration to get the
better ofprejudce. Her singing more than met the
expectations OF her hearers, and elected the hearth
est applause and frequent encores.
She possesses truly wonderful voice, and con-
siderng the poverty of her advantages, she uses it
with surprising taste and effect In sweetness,
power, compass and aexbiity, it nearly equals any
Of the foreign vocalists who have visited our coun.
try; and it needs only the training and education
theirs have received, to outstrip them ALL
The compass of her marvellous voice embraces
twenty seven notes, reaching from the sonorous
bass of barrytone to few notes above even Jenny
Limbs highest, The defects which the critic can :
not fail to detect in her singing, not from want
ofvoice or power Of lung, but want Of training alone
If her present tour proves successful as il now
bids fair to, she will put herself under the charge of
the best master Of song in Europe, and with her
thusiasm and perseverance which belongs to genius,
she cannot fail ultimately totrumph all obstacles
and even conquer the prejudice Of color--perhaps
the most formidable one in her path.
She plays with ability upon the piano, harp and
guitar In her department she bears herself well,
