The DUTCH fRIGATE PRINCE OF ORANGE AT Non
FoLK-The Norfolk Herald Of the 9Th inst saws -
Since the Prince OF Orange has been in our harbor
large numbers OF our citizens have visited her. and
expressed their high qualification at the polite and
courteous attention paid them by her gentlemanly
officers, while her neat and elegant condition and
style OF equipment, ana the excellent discipline of
her crew, are no less themes of admiration and
eulogy. The Prince of Orange is irigate of the
largest class, mounting sixty guns. and presents
formidable and imposing appearance, creditable
alike 10 her noble commander and his officers and
crew, and to the national flag which she so CALAMITY
bears We are gratified to observe that Capt De
Vroe and his officers arc receiving the most marked
attention from our citizens and the officers of the
navy at this station. On Monday they visited
the Navy Yard and ship Pennsylvania where
every attention was shown them by Commodore
Breese and Captain Saunders At night they were
entertained in handsome style at the residence Of
Myer Myers. Esq, the Consul Of the Netherlands.
But to give more general character to the hospi-
tally and respect which it was the desire of our
community to offer to these representatives of ma
ton with which the United States have always held
the most friendly relations, the corporate authorities
Of the city yesterday gave them a civic reception
and entertainment in the City Hall. The reccp-
ton took place in the chamber of the Com
mon Council, at half past one o'clock His
Honor the Mayor addressed Captain De vroe
in behalf of himself and his officers, in terms
of hearty welcome and sentiments of cor
dial friendship and respect, to which Snpt DE vroc
devoted to ntroductions and conversational ex-
changes the city fathers with their honored guests
proceeded to the chamber of the Select Council,
where an elegant repast spread for their enter
tainmcnt. Here, any little reserve which might
have restrained the perfect freedom OF EXPIRE sson Of
thought and sentiment, was soon removed, and the
guests might be said to have found themselves, in
little time, quite at home among old acquaintance
Of tho court and councils generally exerted all their
powers to please, and performed the rites of hosp-
tally most felcitously. The usual national toasts
were given and returned and others complimentary
to the naval galiantry and commercial enterprise Of
Holland and the United States but the warmth of
feeling and earnestness Of the sentiments with which
they were accompanied, showed that they were not
merely complimentary, but the result Of genuine
sentiments OF attachment aud national sympathes
binding the two countries together in 4 bond ofcon-
mon interest and fraternity. After passing . de-

Trade with the Sandwich Islands.
From the Polyncsian, Feb. III

We have been favored with the following CORES
pondence. which shows in strong light, some Of
the reasons why the interests Of the islands require
modification of our treaty relations with the Uni
ted States.
We are happy to know that the subject has been
brought to the notice Of Mr.. Reynolds, Vice-'resi-
dent for Oahu, of the II. A. Society. 10 could
scs. and are sure that such aot on will be strongly
sustained by the planters and business generally
of the islands No time should DO lost.
A meeting Of tho executive committee of the IL.
Ii. A. Society, we learn, will DO called next week.
as preliminary to public meeting, to take tho SUBJ
iect into consideration.

The Assassination of General CnrmOna In
- New Granada.


III Coueo, of the 18th, gives notice Of the as
sassnaton Of Gen Carmona, of the village of Cenc-
ia on the night of the 10th Of February, taken from
Santa Martha papers. The substance of the state
ment is that in consequence of serious alterations
had between Carmona and two citizens of the
above. mentioned place, in which one of the latter
was wounded a riotous mob broke open his doors,
aud put him to death. All this done in the
presence of the Jefe Potico.. who. according to
his own statement, could not control the popular
fury.
The Corto further ays:-Ths deed, in conjunc
ton with Others which have equally disgraccd the
republic during the last two years, confirms us in
our way of thinking respecting the sources whence
arise and will continue to arise these amentable
disorders. This assassination, and that Of Gonzalez,
IN the province Of Antioquia, and that of Alvarez,
IN that OF Monpox. and that of Angulo, in that of
Carthagena, and that Of Pinto and Morales in that
Of Cauca. and the thousand equally Disgrace
full, which have been committed in this
last province. and in those of Buenaventura
and Popayan, all confirm the same cause; and this
cause is in our conception, the exaggeration of the
democratic idea This idea, badly explained to
some. and worse understood by others, has led a
grent number OF our compatrots into one fatal error.
which Is tho belief that the sovereignty, or call it
the social power Is vested in n reunion of men
combined by one sympathy or common interest.
With this persuasion II is not strange that, to de-
eide upon most atrocous transgression of law, is
thought TO be the exercise of most perfect sight
To the view of superficial observers, the opinion
which we have advanced, will appear paradoxical.
More judicous observers. those who believe in the
logic of these facts, and who know that the repe
titon Of certain acts is that which gives the measure
OF morality Of these villages as well individuals:
these are given the reason. and they endorse our
judgment. These agree with us-that the con-
science of the country has suffered very blows
Win the systematic affirmation of the destroying
doctrines-that now 1t is necessary that well mean
ing writers of all parties should oppose to this fatal
lredIcation, the teaching of good principles and Of
republican virtues

My friends. we have honorable contests

storing to abuse. If three score wears and
ten, which | have almost attained. brings
with 1t many evils. it brings with il also a
right to give my opinion, and with much
emphasis | will give it. (Cheers, and cries
of bravo.) And that is, that | trust no

will resort 10 this unworthy mode Of War

Just as much Interested in the prosperity Of
the country as you are We are both on
board the same ship, and must sink or swim
together. (Cheers.) The wings have their
own articles Of political faith, and so have
we. They believe they are right. and we be-
lleve they are wrong. But allow me to say,
my friends, that there is d terrible propensity
70 political abuse in the warm campaigns Of
this country and spectator of the old world
on looking around at the contending parties,
and reading the party journals, would actu-
ally think that no man is fit 10 be candi-

greatest rascal to be found in the country.

of his country, and | have not word to saw

TEMPERANcE.-The citizens of Centre coun-
ty, favorable to the Maine law, lately held
meeting, at which it was resolved to address
the locofoco nominee for the legislature as to
his views on the subject. a committee was
accordingly appointed, who sent note to Mr..
Foster, the nominee, notifying him of their
appointment and making the inquiry whether
he would vote for such law To this he re-
piled that he would not, unless it contained
" a clause submitting it to direct vote of the
people prior to taking effect" This answer
the committee deemed unsatisfactory, as the
Supreme Court has decided such a clause to
be unconstitutional and void, and having been
empowered to do so, they placed in nomina-
ton n. j. MITCHELL, of Bellefonte, as a can
didate for the Legislature.

The son of Henry Clay, few weeks ago,
denied over his signature that his father had

nomination, or of Gen. Scott himself, and al
legged besides that he was at the bedside of
the dying statesman for weeks previous to his
death and never heard him express any such
opinions to any one-yet the Aurora repub-

made such statements to his son and others
