journsd the confusion resulting from the rush
in the county CLERKS office after the decision
is made will probably end in preventing more
or less who are entitled to papers from OBJ
tanning them. We take 1t for granted that
the court are disposed to facilitate the soqui-
sition Of the naturalization papers Of all for
eign- born persons among US, who are entitled
by law to the privileges Of citizenship. and
therefore anticipate a prompt acquiescence
in the request which will be made for q
speedy disposition of the question REFER ed to

A Correspondent of the Wilmington journal, Civ
ing an account of the late examination of Edgeworth
Female Seminary, Grcensborough, speaks in the
following complimentary terms of the address deliv-
cred by Mr.. Dick Oh the occasion:
"The interest and attractiveIess ofthese examina-
tions and exercises were increasing and heightening
every hour until they reached their climax in the
closing proceedings of. Thursday night. Previous
to the diplomas urIg conferred ON the cI-ss
an address was delivered to its members by Robt.
p. Dick, Esq. 1t is hardly possible to speak IN
too high terms of this most beautiful address, From
the reputation of the orator chaste and elegant
writer, as well graceful speaker the expectations
and antcpations ofhis large and intelligent audience
were very high but not one was prepared for such
flow of highest thought couched in Language of
greatest beauty, that held the hushed multitude in
fixed attention as from his lips there flowed the
words, the honey now so sweet" His subject was
" The Literature of the Bible )" and with a mas
ter's hand he touched upon its historic value-its
heaven-born philosophy-its divine lcgisiation-its
sublime .thics-he gradually rose with his subject
until, with the orators powers and the poets fervor
he made every heart beat higher when, in language
almost equal to their own, he dwelt upon the rapt
melody Of Israes bards, and in peroration of ex.
ceeding beauty elegance and affection pressed upon
the young ladies the study of the Book Of books
that which alone could give the crowning honor to
all their studies"

MR.. BRANCH.

Mr.. Branch, the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in this District addressed the people at Louis
burg on Tuesday last, and replied TO by Mr..
Shepard, the Know Nothing candidate. Mr. Branch
spoke at Prattsburg, Orange, Thursday at Hills
borough on Friday; and he will speake at Mangum's
Store, Orange, on Saturday the 10th, and at Laws,
Wake, on Tuesday the 10th. On the Goth the reg
ular appointments of the two candidates will COM
mence.
We learn that Mr. Branch delivered very able
speech at Aousburg; and that Mr.. Shcpard's reply
was pretty much the speech he made in this
pace-feeble, in many respects indefinite, and more
or less interlarded with appeals to the prcjudiccs
