Without any vain boasting as lo my powers
to condense much in a small spare, I (Dink I
nay say wilh truth, that I can record all that
has been done in the Legislature for the week
jual past, in one word, and the word which in
my judgment will best express its labors will be
Ihe short meaning monosyllable little. Anil any
one who will lake the trouble upon himself to
canvass the proceedings ol the Assembly carelul-ly.
for the time 1 have mentioned, will be com-pelled
to admit at once, ibal I am uol going loo
In when I assert, that the Hide ihal has been
perfected is ol very doubtful or slight importan
to the public generally ; and 1 here venture to I '""""T" "' "" "

anything of importance, ttcsigu
roneuniinited, until after the result of the
idrnlialelections has been fully ascertained This
important fact was made clearly manifest lo my
mind, in a day or two after the Legislature had
assembled, and 1 have no doubt that there weie,
at the lime I s|>cak of. an overwhelming majori-ty
of ihc iiinii lie is in fat or ol :idjniiriiiiirni; yet
after a little party inaiiiruvreing, when ihc tote
was called fur, we find that the most of the sham
Democracy of the slate recorded their roles a-gainst
the proposition that many of llit-in had fa-vored,
and some ol them actively electioneered
for hut a day or two previous The cause of
this sudden change on the pan o/ the Loco., i,
in part, explained in my last letter, and will not
again repeal. Suffice it lo say, they have, by
their unscrupulous concert and action in the
8haw case, so hulilied themselves in the Senate,
that they now fancy that they possess power lo
effect all such reform' as liny desire. Manv of
their leaders strut large and swagger boastfully,
nnw that they ihemselves have, by an unprece-dented
act of Legislation, an augmenlrd ihcir own
power as lo give their party strength sufficient to
do ss they will or may think best. They make
certain now of electing a panizan (.1 their own
school, to the Senate of the Uniled Slates, lo suc-ceed
.Manguin : and the only thing, that can pos-sibly
prevent such a result, will be llie great mul-titude
of candidates in their ranks for this honora-ble
post. You may. in connexion wilh many of
your readers, have a desire lo know who are
candidates. I will not be so foolish as to under-take
lu enumerate. When tins game is began,
almost every molt democrat has an eye turned
in that direction ; Clmgnian notexcepted. This
tact causes no little excitement and scheming
fully aroused and making every exertion lo a.
chieic a glorious tiiumph over our opponents m
the next great struggle of the parlies lor power.
Every Whig every where should now be vigi-lant,
active and persevering.
II. W. Miller, of this place, and the Hon. Ed-ward
Stanly addressed a Whig meeting in Golds-boro'
the other day, when the Locos resorted to
a very cunning expedient lo prevent ihepartizai.s
from going lo hear what was said on the occa-sion.
When speaking commenced they gather-ed
their pally men to lake down and then put
up the Pierce & King pole ; thus preventing any-one
of ilieni attending lo hear what might he said.
1 have been told 1I1..1 there were but two of the
parly in the crowd that was addressed ; though
there were many engaged in taking down and
rearing up their parly pole ; hooting and haiatig-ing
all the time, for the purpose of disturbing the
speakers, il possible, by their noisy clamour.
When the Locos hold their mass meetings the
Whigs turn out in great numbers lo hear what
they had lo say for themselves and party. This
was alike honest, honorable and manly, and con-trasts
well wilh the niggardly conduct ol the Lo-cos
in the same region. A day or two alter the
meeting at Goldsboro', Messrs. Stanly and Mil-ler,
in connection wilh Messrs. Sallerlhwaite
and Bryant, addressed a Mass Meeting at Snow
Hill, in Green county, at whiuh lime and place
there were at least four thousand persons present.
The greatest meeting ol the kind that baa ever
taken place in the eastern portion of the Stale,
by a long odds,—nothing, 1 am informed, came
near In it in 1M0. The soup boils ! Ourcolors
rp unfurled to the hrrrie ! Uur columns are
-Mired we are uo.v tnov-
—we will resign all pretensions to philosophy.
All experience shows Ihnl this bnasied benevo-lence
tends to extinguish the faint sparks ofener-gy
in those who partake of il, till, having fallen
into the despair and indolence inseparable from
a cultivated sense of inferiority, they look upon
themselves as beyond the pale of hope, and al
last lose even the wish for independence.
in the wigwam of Modern slam Democracy, anil
may enable llie poor defrauded Whigs lo slip in
one, who has commixed Inmsell lo the support
of some of their prominent measures, if they can-not
secures aiduifl pure Whig. That there will
be a strong effort made, to district ihc Slate lo
su't the exalted views and honorable designs ol
their most honorable and virtuous parly, I enter-tain
not the shadow of ilouhl, at the present tune.
But, as lo how ihey will sueeet-d in carrying out
llinr schemes, 1 am not. al the present, prepared ,
lossy ; but incline lo ihe opinion Ihal I'icy will
have lo do something like justice, or hate rough
sailing for llie future. Since die Legislature re-lured
to adjourn, the Locos seem lo he enjoying
themselves finely. The Senate is very happily
organized lo suit their purposes, it being l-olh
treuk and 'trong. I mean individually ueak on
their side, and strong enough in numbers as
parlizans, w her any parly-job is hi be done, to
da it wilh a relish of delight. Under this happy
slate of affairs, Sanders, Dobbin, lloke and ma-ny
others can go out as oralors ol the parly to the
adjoining counties to deliver addresses to stir up
Ihe unlerrified 10 prnnipl and vigorous action ;|
though there same gentlemen went their lull
length against the Legislature's adjourning over
lo the 3d Monday in November, llie regular lime '
of its meeting. Comment upon such conduct is
heedless, as it woultl be unprofitable. When
these worthies will leave their rcspeciivc circling,
I cannot undertake to declare. They aie here ;
now, but this City may be considered as bul a
slopping place or station, until ufu-r the election. !
By these gentlemen thus sloping nil', without
leave or license from the House, and in tlirect vi-olation
of its iiilrs, they hope lo do great things
in Ihe east, while their expectant adjuncts in the
west are depended on to revolutionize that sec-tion
of the good old North Slate. You will see '.
by these manor-uvrcs that the party have got ibeir <
trigger! all sel ; and arc now hard al woik, and
that Ihey are likely lo continue loo to the elec-tion,
to work with all the zeal and phreuzy lliat
characterizes a fiend in despair. It matters not
whal may transpire between this and the day of
election, it will all be turned so as to benefit ihe
Democrats. I 'or example, the late elections,
■hough they lost thousands upon thousands on
the popular »ule of last year, many members of
Congress and the Slate electors ; nevertheless il
was a great and signal triumph lor lliein, and
their parly. The truth is, our modrnt enemies
hereabouts came Ihe Chapman ovci us complete-ly,

From the Home Journal.
American Toadyism.
In a cuuniry village, near New York, last sum-mer,
we bad occasion to visit one of the rival
shoe-stores. On the counter we observed Iwo
newspapers, the Prolrilunl Churchman and the
Sunday Dispatch. We made some jocular re-mark
lo ihe shoemaker upnn ihc catholicity of
his taste in newspapers, and in llie course of llie
conversation thai followed, he acknowledged,
raiher boastfully lhan otherwise, that he kept Ihe
Churchman upon the counter as a lure to ihe
Episcopalians of Ihe village. Il gave his shop
a pious air, aud got him a pious reputation, al an
expenditure ol iwo dollars a year. The Die*
patch, on Ihe contrary, he took for his own
pleasure, and usually kept out ol sight. This
"smart business man " confessed, also, thai he
sent his children to Sunday school wilh an eye
lo its effeel on trade. From appearances, we
judged thai these inanieuvrrs paid extremely
well. Another fact: Two European exiles-one
a man of learning, llie other not—were ap-plicants
for a vacant professorship in a college,
within five hundred miles of New York. The
learned man was also an honest une, and frankly
confessed Ihal llie doctrinal peculiarities of which
Ihe college is the bulwark, were In him mailers
nf indifference, lie read ihe failure ol his appli-cation
in the darkened coiinieiiancc of ihe high
official lo whom he had so frankly addressed
himself. The other applicant was a •• smarter "
man. and had. besides, a smart lady adviser. In
BMWrdancs with her advice, he attended the high
official's own church, planted himself directly in
from of ihe pulpit, and—louse our informant's
expressive language, •• went through all Ihe mo-done."
He •• crammed" sectarian theology, al-1
so ; and the result was that he obtained employ-,
iiient in Ihe college. These are facts, and they
is inferences which we have not

The White Man a Curiosity.
Ludicrous Scent among Ihe Native African:
There are whole districts in many European
countries where a blick man has never been seen,
and there are districts in Africa where the people
have never seen a while man. The Rev. Mr.
Sevs, Presiding Elder ofthe Meihodist Mission
in Liberia, accompanied Gov, Kusswurm and a
party ol colored friends, from Cape Palmas to
the native tribes and towns in the interior, during
die summer, taking along a native interpreter,
who had acquired the name of Sunday, front his
Christian character. Mounted on donkeys, they
travelled some eleven miles through extensive
rice fields, belonging lo King Freeman's people,
to Gillibnh, a large native town, ihe king nf
which a tall, fine-looking Alrican, named Quih,
received ihem cordially. Here a colored Metho-dist
school hail been recently established. The
reception of lite parly, and Ihe seenees winch
followed, form an amusing passage in Mr. Sey's
journal. Il will be seen that a while man was
as great a curiosity as an ourang-oulang in this
country.
•• Header, ihey li.nl rarely seen a member of
the palefarrd race al Gilliboh, some doubtless
never, mini Ihey set eyes on your humble ser-vant.
The consequence you may judge. I was
regularly Inset, and thai too with a fearless de-gree
of curiosity far ahead ofthe Qneahs or Geu-labs.
Men, women, and cbildern, crowded a-round
me with suffocalin" officiousnrrs and fa-miliarity.
They fell my skin, examined my
hair, pulled up my sleeves, watcher every move-ment,
billowed me Irom place lo place, and in-deed
rendered their curiosity most oppressive.
The boys of ihe school, ten in number, were
perfectly delighted. Brother Lewit hail told
ihem who it was he expected. And now that
Ibis head man had come, every lltlle fellow must
get a chance lo hold his hand, one on one side,
another on the other, some behind, others before,
walking sometimes backwards, the more readily j

thai he is committing an impropriety in asking

taken up and,
Mr. 1.1.in- i proceeded to address the Senale
in reference lo some ofthe statements ntade by
ilu: Senalor for Currittiek and Cauiden y estcrday.
The gentleman, he said, bad contended, thai the
Senate had no power lo insiiiuie an enquiry
•bethel he bad been duly elected, and yel in llie .
course of his argument be bad conceded that an !
enquiry as lo the qualification uf a member hav-ing
a seal in ihal body would be proper and legit- ]
tin.in ; bul as llie resolution proposed to enquire,
nol whether be was duly qualified, bul w-heltter
he bad been duly elected, why, accurding to the
opinion of the gentleman, the enquiry could uol
properly be made. This he conceived was
making a distinction which was uol justified by
the plain letter and meaning ol the Constitution.
Because in the very saire section, and even in
Ihe same line which makes the Senate the judge
ol the qualification ol its members, we find the
authority lor making it the judge also of llie elec-tion
ol it* membeis. The gentleman had then
virtually conceded thai this resolution was tegu-lar,
lor w lieu lite one was conceded Ihe other
necessarily followed. For the Constitution as
expressly declareo—and in as positive terms—
that the Senate shall be the judge ofthe election,
as thai the Senate shall be the judge uf the qual-ification
ol its members. Were the people, lie
wuuld ask, lu be deprived ol the rigbl lo enquire
into llie election of a member, because a man
who may have been a candidate did not care lo
lake upon himsell the trouble of eonicsiing llie
seal ? The acl ol Assembly had pointed out llie
mode lo be pursued in a contest, but this was a
different case altogether. It was a duty wluib
the Senate owed lu themselves, and to their eon-sliiueius
lo make an toicsiigalion into the facts
of this case. When this matter was under dis-cussion
upon the resolution of the Senator from
Lincoln, wjiich evaded the point as to whether
ilu eeiiileinan from Camdcn and Curntuck had
testimony in preference to i-stimony under oath t
The silling member has alluded to some obser-vations
which have been made in the coursj of
ihe discussion which he considers personal. So
far as I have observed. Sir, the debate has been
cutiducted with the utmost courtesy, lie hai
assutnud that an atiempl was made to taunt and
annoy him by the use of the wo'd "glorious."
He is entirely misiaken. 1 have no doubt the
gentleman is di.leut that every statement he
has made here is perlectly irue ; therefore 1 sub-mit
Ibal it furnishes an additional reason fur
send ng ihe insner to Ihe committee, Ibal ihey
may hear, and report upon, the evidence. The
gentleman will men stand before ihe Country in
a heller light. If Senators on the other side be-lieve
that they are in the right in regard In this
mailer, let IheevHtunoe *o to the roiiimillec, and
no consideration on earth will induce me In vole

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
H'ldneaday. Oct. 20, 1852.
Mr. Dobbin, from the roininiitee on the Jo-dtciary,
lo which was referred the bill lo pay
Talcs Jurors, reported the same back lothe House
with a substitute lo provide for pay ing Tales Ju-rors
tinder certain eircuinstances, and recommend-ed
thai lite substitute be passed.
Mr. Dubbin staled the reasons which influen-ced
the committee in recommending the substi-tute
in prefeiencc lo the original bill. The Ori-ginal
bill would lend lo increase greatly llie ex-pense
of our Cuuris. As an illustration, be men-tioned
that recently, in one of the eastern BOO*-
lies, the Judge directed the Sheriff nit Monday
lo summon 150 freeholders on a specisl t^cnire,
and llie jury was not made up until Friday.
I'ltder the original bill this would have cost die
t'oiiniv ssf.iio. The substitute ooh provides for
paying ihe per di.in when ihey serve „i;L day
until sun-set ; and il they are required lo serve
two days, it provides for pay ing a per diem and
nnle.ige. But n.ine are tn be paid unless they
actually serve mi the Jury.
Aftcra few remarks from Messrs. R. M.S.iun-dera,
D. livid, Fagg. anil Spruill, the question
was laken on adopting the substitute, which was
carried.
The question then recurred on the passage of
the hill on its second reiding,
Mr. Phillips suggested thai a clause in the hill
would admit nf a ciiiistriieli.iu different fro.n that
given by the gentleman Irom Cumberland.
Mr. Dobbin remarked thai as the bill was an
important one, and tlid not seem ttl he well un-derstood
by gentlemen, he would move that il be
laid on the l-ble and printed | w Inch motion pre-vailed.
Mr. S. P. II ill, from the commiilrcon the Ju-diciary,
lo which was referred the bill conreriiuig
the Superior Courts of RaiTdnlpb, reported ihe
same back to ihe House, and recommended ils
passage.
Mr. Hill explained Ihe object ol the hill. The
business on the dockets uf that Curl had accu-mulated
greatly ; and owing lo ihe lact that some
ofthe Judges, when Ihey get thai fir on the cir-cuit,
are impalienl lo go home, sufficient lime is
nut given fur the business of the lerm. The bill
I will Make il necessary fur the Judge lo remain
there until 12 o'clock on Saturday, and this will
! remedy Ihe evil complained of.
Mr. Spruill objected to the bill—said bethought
! it would he a rellclion upon Ihe Jiulichiry of the
' State. If some of the Judges hid acted in llie
manner described, their names ought lo be insert
' id in the bill.
Mr. II. Mi SaOodera replied to Mr. Spruill.
I He believed the gentleman, as a member from
Northampton, bad once introduced a timilar bill.

! Judiciary, and regretted that any cause bad ever
' been given for il. The only qu. Hlon was wht-th-
