The Scene in the Senate.

The Register takes the part of Messrs. Leach and
Turner in their dsorganizing and disordery conduct
i'll the Senate on the last night of the session. That
paper justifes them and complains of democratic
tyranny" The truth is, if there be ground for
complaint at all, it is that Mr.. Turner was not
promptly put under arrest for disorderly conduct
and for insulting and defying the Senate. 1t was
thought best, however, not to arrest him and make
him know his place. and this tor5earance the
Register would have the people consider "Dcmo-
cratic tyranny"
We witnessed the scene from first to last, and our
able and laborious Reporter Mr.. Spelman, has given
a truthful and graphic sketch of it. Mr. Leach can
plead the excuse Of hasty and ungovcrnable tenn
per, and We learn that he regrets much of what he
did and said on the occasion but Mr.. Turner's
duct was evidently deliberate and premedtated, as
it twas certainly in keeping with his behavior on
former occasions. 1t is proper that the people of
Orange should know that Mr.. Turner was not only
dsordery in his conduct but that he was the cause
of the useless consumption of at least week of the
>public time! =

RESOLUTION.

Mr. Pritchard offered the following resolution:
WHEREAS, it is consummation devoutly to be
wished for that North Carolina should do something
to commemorate the great deeds of her omn illus
trious dead and Whereas the present is peculiar
y fitting occasion to call her attention to the nagu
ration of the grateful work of rearing monumental
structure at home: and whereas, act in the great
drama of our colonial emancipation surpasses in
moral heroism and grandeur that of May Goth,
1775; therefore, ..
Be 1T Resoloed, By the General Assembly of the
State of North Carolina in session. That it is the
duty of the State of North Carolina, to erect
saitaJle monument in the town of Charlotte, Meek
lenburg county, to perpetuate the memory of the
authors and signers of the original declaration of
independence, made at said town May goth, 1775.

CAPE FEAR AND DEEP RIVER COMPANY.
The bill concerning the Cape Fear and Deep River
Navigation Company was read.
Mr.. Morehead explained the provisions Of the bill,
and stated in his opinion it was the most prudent
course to adopt under the circumstances in which
the State was placed.
Mr.. Benbury opposed the bill, and after some re-
marks against the principle of it. stated he was in
favor Of the States letting the work 60.

MISTAKEN AGAIN.-The Register takes it for grant
ed because the Democrats of the House of Com
mons voted down Mr. Benbury's resolution against
the re-opening of the slavetrade that they are in
favor of that trade This vote was not test vote
on the question 1t was simply vote to get rid of
of which would have resulted only in just what the
Know-Nothings wanted, to-wit: a consumption Of

useless if not absurd to express an opinion upon
through their Representatives. So Mr.. Syme you

"The Secret Circular.0

The opposition papers are a good deal exercised
over certain Circular, which was sent, as we are
informed, to the members of the Commons, towards
the close Of the late session. headed can Appeal
to the Democratic members of the House Of Com
mons of North Carolina" The Register says this
document was circulated confdentially from" the
Standard office. This is mistake. All the Stand
ard Office had to do with it was to print it for the
author, who is a Democrat. We attached no i'm
portance to it. and printed it simply as matter of
business for the person who brought it to u.s. We
do not remember to have read before we read
the proof and as soon as the matter was printed we
sent it, by request, to the authors room. That is
ALL What can the Register make of that We
never print and send out documents over assumed
Names protesting to speak for eastern, or southern
or northern, or western Democrats. What sre have
to say we say in the STANDARD, under own name,
never using, without permission or by request the
names of others.
This document in all probability spoke for no one
but the author; it bound no one; it did not, in our
opinion, change single vote in the Commons for
or against any measure. It amounts to nothing,
and the attempt to use it against the Democracy is
simply ridiculous.

we will be found hereafter as in times past in the

attacks of the opposition. We have no private
griefs which will prevent us from doing justice to
all the members of our party and if any one is
disposed to complain, or if any one thinks he has
grounds for complaint, let him write us on
the subject, and will meet him in the same spir-
it of candor and kindness with which he approaches

nifty of cooperating with so many patriotic and
