"JosiahT CRANBERRY, ESQ., of Perqumans, called to

the objects of the OCCASION concluded by introducing Hon.
b. NJ Shaw to the assembage That gentleman took the
stand and enchanted his audience for upwards of hour
ebled by his late Illness and bearing evident marks of de-
blity he warmed with his subject he seemed to forget
all physical nrmy in the full glow of triumph
and spoke with almost unwonted energy and
His speech interrupted by frequent bursts of applause,
his audience would be moved by some sOustrrng ap-
peal.
VIM. F. Martini Esq., followed in of his very happest
efforts Ever greeted with enthusiasm his audience seemed

South Carolina.

Gov. Adams, of South-C Carolina, in his recent mes
sage to the Legislature, recommends the passage of
law cxemptng from sale, under contracts hereafter
to be entered into, at least one slave. Such an inn
munity, he says, would stimulate every one to exert
himself to possess his family at least of property
in some degree above the casualties of debt As the
number who acquire the property is multiplied, SO
will be widened and deepencd, says the Governor,
the determination to sustain the institution
But the Governor goes greatly beyond this and
advocates the revival of the African slave trade!-
We regret this. Its only tendency will be, not to
strengthen, but to weaken the South. Whatever
difference of opinion may exist in relation to the
justice and morality of such trade revival of it is
utterly out of the question. The course Of Gov. AID.
in this respect, will be made handle of by the
abolitionsts for renewed attacks on slavery. AS
of the organs of public sentiment il slavehoding
State protest against it; and ask the friends
of the Constitutional rights of the South in the nom
savcholdng States to bear witness to the fact that
the people of the South not responsible for and
do not approve this recommendation of Gov. Adams.
We shall not discuss the question. 1t is, repeat,
an impracticable one. South Carolina is, in some
respects, State governed by extreme and vi lent
views We respect her for her gallantry, her chiv-
airy, her history, her great names and we sympa-
thze with her people in their restivcness and indg
nation under the abolition pressure; but
neither approve this recommendation of her Gov
ernor. sympathize with those of her public men
who are, per se for dissolution of the Union. So
far as the Constitutional rights of the South con-
cerned, South Carolina is in the right, and Massa-
chusetts is in the wrong, because the latter is the
aggressor, and is responsible for the evils of the
slavery agitation; but if all the States,
ory were of the same mind of these two, the bonds
of the Union would be at once destroyed.

The PAY OF MEMBERs.-It somehow strikes US
that things stand at Raleigh, it costs mem.
Der of either House somewhere about fifty per cent
over and above his per- diem. They used to say, that
no matter how high the pay of members might be
fixed, the hotels would make their calculations with
due regard thereto so to get the last dime. The
fact u.s. that for board and room in which to receive
his constituents others having business with him.
a member has to shell out every cent, leaving moth
ing for 9th eXpenses-not even to pay for the
washing OF his shirts and dickes; and they must be
washed sometimes during session of eight or ten
weeks We don't think that any member ought to
desire to make money out of the State-we don't
think any member docs desire to do But neither
ought the State to desire to make money out of her
citizens, who may he called upon to make her laws
1t is sufficient sacrifice for most folks to leave their

who are Aattered by any little attentions which such
a man as Mr.. Rayner may bestow upon them and
others, who, possessing no independence, and hav-
ing will of their own, alternately fear and love
him. on account of his manner towards them, his
wealth. and his social influence; and So considering
all these things it is not surprising that the Editor
of The Standard should not, in this matter be unan

family influence, no great amount Of wealth,

Again, the Register says: ga few days since,
respectable and intelligent member of the Demo
cratic party, in deprecatory manner, remarked to
US that things are tending to this point that every
man had to be denounced abolitionist who did
not concur with the Democratic party in it's notions
on slavery" We do not believe one word of this
1t is fabrication, out and out. The idea of de-
nouncing every as an abolitionst, who does not
concur with the Democratic party in its notions on
slavery, would be absurd. No such idea exists, and
no Democrat therefore, could have referred to it.
But though we have thus replied to the Register,
we deny its right to speak for this or for any other
community. 1t is wandering, desultory, irrespon-
sible concern. Its Editor is absent and no one real

pears in it, its columns to be open to almost
