Public Printer.
# will he seen in the proceedings of the two
Houses of the Legislature on Tuesday, that Holden
= Wilson were elected printers to that body.
We tender our sincere thanks to our friends in
.ho LEGISLATURE for this mark of their regard and
confidence, and assure them that no pains nor ex-
nonse will be spared to do the public work prompt
" and in good style.
"TrySEcEssARY ALARM.-The political bowels of
tho Soudara are nightly moved by suspicion
.bst we are in company with VIM H. Seward. It
affords us infinite pleasure to relieve him by nfor
m;no him that are not in company" with VIM
II Seward, nor with Liacoln-whose election over
Stenhen A. Douglas the Standards man Mr.. Bu-
cbanan 50 ardently deSired-nor with any one else
Who claims equality for the Blacks with the Whites
The circle in which move is composed of con-
servative men, men who steer clear of Northern ia
naticisn, and Southern disunionism. The Stand
ard and It's confreres will again set up the old cry,
that Democrat must be elected President, in order
to save the Union. Whenever the spoils begin to
slim from the fingers of the Democracy, the Union
have too lively recollection of the canvass in 1856,
to participate in these patriotic @ fears. Then,
Buchanan was to he elected to prevent the election
Of Fremont, to bring Kansas into the Union as
slave State and thus to save the Union. Buchanan
was elected and We should be glad to know what
the cause of the South or Of the Union has gained
BY the operation and we should like to know how
much worse off than We are now, would we have
been had Fremont been elected instead of Buchan-
an Will the Standard tell us? Citizen Holden
nav save himself the trouble of attempting to boil
ster up this wind CALLED and spawned Administra-
ton by shouting Seward, and Abolition. Snch
cries now, instead of frightening Wings into the
support of the Democracy, only set them to reflect
ing the fact that that party has proved itself ut
terly incompetent to administer the government for
the good of the people, and the security of the
rights of the South
The above is from the last Raleigh Register-
Comment is almost unnecessary. The editor of the
Register knows, well We do, that there is now
no Wing party-that the national contest is between
the Democratic party, friendly to the South and her
Institutions and the Black Republican party, deadly
hostile to the South and her institutions Mr. Bu-
chanan has stood by the Constitution and the rights
Of all sections, and Greedy, Seward, Hale and the
whole Black Republican pack are yelping at his
heels for it, and the Register and other Southern
K N. papers are joining in the cry. That is the
"circle" in which the editor of the Register has
placed himself, and he cannot squirm out of it
Speeches of the Speakers.
In our last we were unable to give the speeches
of the two Speakers taking their respective Chairs
Mr. Clark addressed the Senate as follows:
SENATOR'S The fattering vote which has just ell
evated me to this high and honorable position
must regard as an evidence of your partiality and
not my merit; and to that Partially must appeal
to aid me in the discharge of its responsible duties.
make this appeal with more confidence from my
former experience in this Hall, and knowing, too,
that the rules for the regulation of this body are
not to emanate from this Chair, but are such only
as you yourselves shall voluntarily adopt 1t shall
benny steady purpose to administer these laws faith
fully and mpartially ITO ensure the most general
satisfaction by being plain and direct in their inter-
probation, and rigid in their enforcement.
In your representative capacity you are charged
with the most important interests of the State-to
develop her resources to sustain her credit and adj
vance her prosperity; and the obedience of the cit
zens to your legislation demands of you in return
aful and ample protection of their interests and
rights
We live in times of great political embarrassment
@nen not only rights but the very principles of
our Government are imperrilled; and while in our
own borders we are endeavoring to reconcile appa-
rently conflicting interests we are equally bound
10 protect our rights to fair and equal participa-
ton in all the benefits of this great confederacy of
States
we nave inherited from our ancestors the most
hestlmabe blessings of liberty; and system of
government the parallel of which is not found in the
history of the world, and we are bound by every
consideration of duty and patriotism to preserve
uese blessings and this government, sound, unim-
pared and without blemsh to our posterity.,
Permit me, in conclusion to return you my thanks
or the unsolicited bestowal of this honor, and to
promise you my best efforts to discharge satisfac-
'ofliy the duties of the station.
Mr. Settle thus addressed the Commons:
gentlemen Of the House Of Commons:
lou have called me to a post of honor, for
WHICH mark of your confidence and esteem, l return
.ou my profound thanks. l am aware, gentlemen,
tat 1t Is not post of honor alone-it is one of

at Shall have your hearty cooperation in main
talnlng the dignity and order of your body.
nus gentlemen that the deliberations of the session
N.Y." commencing, will promote the prosperity, hap
p"ess and general welfare of North Carolina.
CoRREcTIoN-In our last we gave the name of the
assistant Doorkeeper in the Senate as Terry. 1t
s"oulo have been C. C. Tally, of Chatham county,
Tile former incumbent
~ the way, in speaking of Doorkeepers, we may
'e'uon that Messrs Page and Webster, the princi
pai Doorkeepers of the two Houses, are old and
'ti.ui officers. Mr.. Page has been Doorkeeper Of
.e senate for number of years, and has probably
'i In Office longer than any other officer about the
o'p''oL Mr. Webster has also been in Office for
SEVERAL years. No better officers exist anywhere.
q On yesterday in the House of Commons, Mr..
Sa'a~ell of Burke moved to go forthwith into an
''uon for Senator of the United States to fill the
ai'eApred term of Hon. Asa Biggs; and the same
:" ,'. NO was made in the Senate by Mr. GorreI, d
'u'ilord These motions were rejected by large
