One of the Lost on the Austria.

to her sisery affection and to her amable and love-

Zone THE PASSENGERS LOST THE AUSTRIA
Some of citizens will recolect that three four
years ago, Danish officer OF high rank, accompani-
ed by his sister, a young lovely and most amiabe
lady, were a visit to Beaufort. The officer was
in bad health, and was travelling in quest of some
climate that would restore sh ittcred constitution,
and the sister whose affection for her brother

refined society Of Europe, accompanied him to cheer
him in his despondency and to administer TO him in

At Beaufort he sickened and died. and left her his

FOOte, FOrney and the Register.

The Registers chief stock in trace seems for the
present to have been drawn from renegades from the
Democratic party. 1t has no arguments of its own
to advance against the administration of MIR. Bu-
chanan and so it is compelled to resort to such cast
aways Forney and Foote. 1t publishes column
after column of Forneys twadde and personal spite
against Mr. Buchanan, and seeks to dignity this spe-
cies of partizan warfare by calling the Democratic
press to dispr0ce what Forney says. Disprove it,
indeed. Why, the charges themselves carry their
own refutation with them. 1t is incredible, in the
first place, that James Buchanan should have held
the language which Forney attributes to him; and
in the second place. public is worthy of con-
sderation or credit who retails private converse
tons.
hIr. Forney is very good witness for the Regis
ter now but in 1856, when he exerting himself
to defeat the opposition to James Buchanan for Pres
ident, the Register regarded him as enemy and
reposed no confidence in his statements. Up to the
time when he joined the abolitonists-up to the
time when he confederated with the black Republi
cans, and commenced his passionate, uncharitable,
and ungraeful assaults on Mr.. Buchanan and the
Democratic party, ephbet which the Register
could apply to him considered too severe. But
noar, when he is assailing Democratic administra-
ton, and when every blow of his, if it is felt at ALL
will be felt by the South of which that administra
ton is the friend, be is prosecuted patriot, and
Know Nothing sympathy and Know Nothing affec-
ton lavshed upon him. The Register and its
coadjuors act upon the motto, any thing and a"y
body TO ijurs and prostrate the Democratic party.
Opposition TO Democracy is the main plank in their
platform,-opposton without why or wherefore,
and to the last extremity. TO that complexion has
it at last with the once proud and pow erful
Whig party.
Pennsylvania voted on Tuesday last for members
cf Congress and portion of her State officers We
have not heard the result but it is probable that
Forney's treason has weakened the Democracy in
that State If they have lost, black Repubticanisn
hos gained, and gained through forncy, who is en-
dorsed and commended by the Raleigh Register.
We know that our respected contemporary would be
shocked if he to sec the result in this light
but so it IS, and nc sophstry special pleading can
change it.

Judges ought to bs elected by the people for term

Democratic Republican State. The Legislative pow
er, which makes the laws, and the Executive power
which puts them in force, dependant on the peo-
Pile; and so ought the Judicial power to be, which
interprets and expounds the laws Truth is truth,
affect whom and what it may. Let the people be
true to themselves,-let them take their own power
into their own hands. They honest, and they
always mean to DO right. Under the present system
their lives and their property are in the keeping of
persons who hold Office for life, who above them,
and who not responsible to them or to their
presenatives for the manner in which they discharge
their duties.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The publication in your last
paper of the proceedings of the Board of Trustees
in expclling Mr.. Land in connection with the exag
gera;ed rumors of the extent Of the outrage, may
possibly lead to the misapprehension abroad of the
condition of things here, and thus do injustice to
large majority of the students. 1t is well known
here that only small number of persons were en-
gagged in the disturbance and that it met with the
decided dsapprobaton Of the great body Of their
fellow students has been clearly manifested by what
has been understood to have been since done by the
two Literary. Societies. The act of the Board Of
Trustees emiinent'y proper, and will. no doubt,
be approved by public sentiment. The impression
here is that there will be necessity for similar
act Of discipline for long time to come.

should deliver the original Cass-Ysarri Treaty. This
stipulation he has denied to various gentlemen, but
the State department is in possession Of the names
of those whom he made the declaration. If he
much longer delays to comply with this condition,
he will be dismissed. The general impression here
