PRESBYTERY OF ORANGE.

The Presbytery of Orange has been holding its
semi-annual session in City during the week
just past. The opening sermon was preached on
Wednesday night by the retiring Moderator, the
Rev. Robert Burwell, of I1illsboro'. The Rev. F.
N. Whalcy, of Carksyie, Va, was chosen as his
successor. The Rev. j. NJ. Sherwood and Mr.. S.
Neal were chosen temporary Clerks. We learn
that an unusually large number of the members
have been present during the present session. The
roll contained the names of twenty-three Bishops
and sixteen Ruling Elders. The Presbytery has
under its supervision thirty Bishops and forty -four
Churches Its western boundary is formed by Sur
ry County and the Yadkin river as far south as
Randolph County. Its eastern is the Atlantic
far as Onslow County. The Presbytery was not
called upon to either license ordain any Min
lister at this time. But it took under its three
young as candidates for that holy Office. 1t al
so established fund of twenty-five hundred dollars
at the Union Seminary, the interest of which is for
the education of Minister'S and called it "7he Fran
ces Derereaur Scholarship" in honor of the late
member of our community whose deeds of charity
the subjects of wide spread praise. The matter
of Domestic Missions was the theme Of several ad-
dresses at public meeting on Saturday night. On
Friday night the Presbytery present. by invita-
ton, at a public exhibition in the Baptist Church
by the pupils of the Deaf Dumb and Blind Inst-
tute, and many expressed themselves as highly
gratified by what they saw and heard
The time of the Presbytery was taken up mainly
in attending to the routine of business fact that is
conrmatory of the reports that peace and prosper
ity reigned generally among its Churches. The
members of the Presbytery and their companions
were gladly received and kindly entertained by our
citizens-which hospitality was duly acknowledged.
The pulpits of the Churches in the City were filed
on Sunday by Presbyterians-a specimen of Chris
tan courtesy wbichwe are always glad to see and
hope will be pcrpetuated.
The next session of the Presbytery will be held
in Madison Rockingham County, during the week
that precedes the session of the Synod in Green's
borough.

We Learn that an attempt was made, some days
since, to get up Know Nothing meeting at Botanic
Hill, Nash; but that, somehow another, the ma
jority on the ground were Democrats, and no one
appeared to speak for "Sam." The crowd, how.
ever determined to have some talking, and so they
called on E. D. Smith, Esq, of Nashville, and j. j.

Esq, of Nash-all of whom spoke in good style,

The Eaoto Nothing CounciNSecesion Of Fifty
Three Northern Members


Three Northern Members.
PHILADELPHIA, June ll.-After the adoption of the
majority report of the platform committee yesterday
by the National Council OF the American party-the
resolutions refusing to recognise the restoration of
the Missouri Compromise as the platform of the par
ty on the slavery question-the Council adjourned
amid much indignation and confusion.
This morning fifty three members from twelve free
States seceded-eight from Ohio, six from Indiana,
two from Michigan, four from Illinois, seven from
Massachusetts,, three from New Hampshire fivo from
Vermont, seven from Maine, two from Iowa, three
from Rhode 1lsland, three from Connecticut and
three from Wisconsin
These met at the Girard House, when j. W. Fos
ter of Massachusett, presented an address to the
people which was adopted and signed by all the
seceders after which committee of correspondence,
consisting of one delegate from each State named
| above, was appointed.
The address says the seceders feel constrained in
the existing state of affairs, to affirm the following
| principles:
| First-The unconditional restoration of the time
| honored compromise known as the Missouri prohib.
tion which destroyed in utter disregard of the
popular will. And we will all constitutional
compact.
Second-The rights of settlers in the territories to
the Free undsturbed exercise Of the elective fran
chise. And cannot act with those who will not aid
| us in the correction of these national wrongs.
Thrd-We declare our continued and unalterable
determination to use all honorable efforts to secure
a modification of the laws aided by such an eleva-
ton of public sentiment shall preserve the inter-
ests of the nation and guarantee spiritual freedem-a
free Bible and free schools.
Fourth-That we invoke any legislation to arrest
the growing evil of the expectation by foreign au.
thorites of paupers and convicts to shores and
that the national constitution reqnires the Chie
Executive Of the country to be OF native birth. VIC
deem it equally necessary and important that ou,
representatives abroad should also possess foreign
prejudices to bias their judgement influence thel
| official action.

IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.

We have important intelligence by the ST. Louis,
which arrived at New York on the Goth, and by the
Asia, which arrived at Halifax the same day,
bringing three days later news than the St Louis.
The allied powers have had further successes on
the sea of Azoff Four steamers of war and two
hundred and forty vessels employed in conveying
supplies to the Russian army have been destroyed.
The bombardment of Sebastopol renewed on
the 9th instant, and the French had attacked and
carried two of the towers before the fortress. The
greatest bravery displayed both sides, and losses
very heavy.
The substance of the ne-rz. is that thn allies an.

are being made by them of still more signal successes

The Discussion AT LAw's-A friend, who was
present at the discussion between Messrs. Branch
and Shepard, at Laws, Wake, on Tuesday last, in
forms US that Mr.. Branch sustained himself with
marked ability and produced fine impression upon
the large audience in attendance. Mr. Shepard at
tempted to make something for his sinking cause
out of the platform adopted at Philadelphia by the
Southern States and New York; but few words
from Mr.. Branch dissolved the whole fabric of ma
tionality erected by Mr.. Shepard, into thin air.

teen States-the very parties who should have been
bound by it-seeeded from the Convention and
laid down an abolition platform of their own!

RICHMOND Observation-Disclosures is directed to the
advertisement of this longestab.ished Journal, in
our paper to-day. The Enquirer, it is known, is one
of the abest newspapers in the country, and always
true to Democracy and the rights of the South. Its
Editors deserve much at the hands of Democrats in
all quarters for the bodness and ability with which
they fought the late great battle in Virginia.

The Hillsborough Recorder in its notice of Mr..
Branch's speech at Hillsborough Friday last and
the reply of Mr. Henry X. Nash, says ''We may
say at the outset, he is stranger to most of
readers, that Mr.. Branch is pleasant looking gen.
tleman, with good honest face and is fair speak
er." This, under the circumstances, considering the
source, and the precision and caution with which
the Editors of the Recorder write, is high compli-
ment. We can assure the Editors-for know
the man-that Mr.. Branch's face is good index to
his heart. He is enphatically an honest politician
He would cheerfully, in our opinion, relnquish all
chances for seat in Congress rather than attain it
by equivocation, by course calculated to unduy
nhame to deceive the people, or by abandon
ment any portion his time honored political creed
The nomination sought him he did not seek it.
The Recorder says, in conclusion, eff may
judge of the speeches by the applause elected, Mr..
Nash's certainly produced most effect" Mr.. Branch
then, had it so far principles and arguments are
concerned but Mr.. Nash chad it By the racket" We
are satisfied. By the way, does not the Recorder
know that Sam's candidates and speakers have a
certain sign by which they call out applause
from the Know Nothings just when they please,
and in quantities to suit?

RALEIGH,

and their confederates in the different Congressional
Districts, who, whether they endorse the whole of
their action at Philadelphia not are still with them
as members of the darkantern organization, will
share with them, as they all richly deserve, COM
mon doom of political disaster and defeat
Let the people Of all parties seriously consider
the facts contained in this article
HOW IS THIS?
We ask the attention of Southern men, and espe.
cially of Southern Know Nothings, to the following
paragraph from late number of the American
Organ:
'Our friends must not be deceived-there has
been no secession of the North and Northwest
from the American party-none at all-but simply
protest by those States, against certain portions
of our platform, which negative the idea of resto-
ration of the Missouri Compromise of 1920 and in
volying before stated, mere point of sectional
policy-a naked abstract right, of earthly value
to either of the contendng partiesa question which
two years time would adjust, if agitation were sup
pressed"
Is this true9 Was it merely protest. and not
secession? If not secession, then the american
Organ" and Kenneth Rayner and John II. Haugh-
ton, and Albert Pike, and Nel S. Brown, and 9TH
er Southern men, still in alliance with Gardner
and Wilson of Massachusetts,. How is it? Can
the Star the Register explain? Some of the
Know Nothings about here have been badly bit re.
Gently by the Cincinnati Times; they took it for a
sound journal on the slavery question, though We
told them all along, and proved it too by extracts
from its editions-one for the North and the other
for the South-that it was an abolition concern. Let
them now keep an eye upon their national" organ
at Washington. 1t declares that they are still in
alliance aoith the abolition portion Of the Knou
Nothing party; and that the Missouri line involves
idea of ''no earthly ualue" to the South! One
more step in the same direction, and the american
Organ" will be an abolition journal.

A PIcruRE.-Just imagine couple of gentlemen,
each with long pole, poking about after something,
and you have the editors of the Raleigh Register
and of the Hillsboro' Recorder feeling for Mr. Shep
ard. They won't go right up and lay their hands
on him and see if he will do; but they stand off
and touch him here and there with ten-foot poles,
straining their eyes, and looking quizcaly suspc-
ious of him. They hope he is of such "stuff"
will suit them, but they can't be quite satisfied of it.
Occasionally they turn to the people and tell them
he is all right but again the exercise of the
poles. They can't quite nail his name to their flags
cant exactly hoist him at their mastheads. Call
you that backing your friend?
But we pardon them for their caution when they
say to themselves, "Shall we trust him? Didn't
he turn loco according to the Register, and de-
ceive the Wings, and then didn't he turn Know
Nothing and deceive the locos, and by-and-bye may
he not turn something else and deceive US too -
Let's pole him while longer.'
Proceed, gentlemen and by the time you get
through with your examination the true men of the
District will have poed Mr.. Branch into Congress
by such majority that you will drop your poles
and soemnly declare your candidate is not what he
cracked up to be-that he not the right
man-that you are glad you didn't tie to him.
