Mcitri. Editors On a calm and dispassionate reflection, concerning the present crisis of affairs, I am truly astonished to see the indolence and inactivity, and the utter annihilation of that spirit which always prompted our forefathers that is, to defend and secure the peace and happiness of their children and the liberties of their country. Shall it be said, that we, their children, are too indolent even to make preparation for our common defence With shame we shall be compelled to confess our supineness and want of activity, as regards the free and unsolicited offer as Volunteers, that we may be ready at a moment's warning, like unto thb watchman on the watch-tower, to meet any dangerous crisis. Alas I there is a body of men who protess to be Volunteers. They are called the City Guards.

In what condition is the Company at present Reduced to a mere name, and if there is not a more active spirit kindled among members, it must perish. Young Men.of Raleigh, permit me to urge upon you to arouse from the lethargy and indolence wh eh has so lonr surroun-ded us, and arise with renewed resolves, not to be in the rear of our young brethren of other towns 1 hope there is.nbt one who will think so little of himself and his country as to refuse to join a Volunteer Company. We do not mean it for the purpose of training ourselves for lawless mobs but to suppress them. LIBERTY. Messrs.

Editors; At a verv liar-e and respectable assemblage of the Citizens of Lenoir County, which took place at Mosely Hall, on Saturday, the 22d instant, the propriety of taking into consideration thi subject of the recent efforts of the Northern Fanatics, was su j- o- gested by several gentlemen. A meeting was forthwith called, John Wooten, Esq. being conducted to the Chair, and Jacob Elliot, appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting being first explained by some very pertinent and appropriate remarks, a motion was matte to introduce and adopt a Preamble and Res. oiutions recently adopted by the citizen of Richmond, Va; which being read, were unanimously adopted, as fully agreeing and coinciding with the opinions tf the citizens composing this assembly.

Resolved the copy of the Emancipator" sent to this Office by the United States Mail, directed to one of our most respectable citizens, be returned from whence it came, accompanied with a lines-sage to the publisher, requesting him to end no lnore of his 4firebrands" to this quarter by uiui but accompany the next himself. Resolved, That these Proceedings be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and sent up for1 publication. JOHN WOOTEN, Chairman. J. Eliot, Secretary.

VERITAS. Washington, N. Aug. 22. On Thursday last the Sheriffs of the Counties compoVm? the 3d Congressional District, met in this town to compare the polls.

The following is the official statement of the votes given in each County Pkttiorkw. Hlt Edgecomb 75 1320 Pitt 533 600 Beaufort 937 452 Hyde 503 122 Washington 491 32 Tyrrell 523 3 3072 2529 2529 643 majority. We think we are not exceeding the bounds of a tolerably fair estimation, when weay that as ina- va- 10')0 persons arrived in this town, from ffeient parts of the District, on the morning of Thursday last, to participate with its citizens, and the people tf Beaufort, in lejoicing at the great and glorious victory which has been achieved over the administration party in the 3d "Congressional District. During the' day, which was very fine, nearly the whole of Main-street, exhibred hundreds of people whose countenances beamed v. inexpressible -delight on occasion of the ureat victory.

At night there was a bonfire, whirh extended through the grea'er part of Main street, he prominent part of the town,) exhibiting a truly sublime spectacle together with excellent muic, performed by the band belonging to the Washington Guards assisted by several musicians from Greenville. If there was an individual present who did not feel, on that occasion, the spirit of patriotism glow within his bosom, he deserves not to be considered the friend of his Countrv the friend of Lib-erty and the Constitution It is a glorious viciorv achieved by the People the Baltimore Van Buren Democracy is prostrate, aoo; 'the trinie banner waves in triumph" over this District.

Sir I 'i -he last number of the Examiner, handed to me by a friend, I observed an artie'e under the editorial head, giving the particulars as heard bv vou fiom a most respectab'e of what you term a horr fracas" in this place on Monday last. The statement of the affair is replete with so many misrepresentations (I hope unintentional nrtes) that I feel constKiined, however reluctantly, from a sense tf duty to myself as well as to my publicly to correct what has ben publicly misrepresented. It i not ttue that my brother was accompanied by myself and others for the purpose of attacking Green, is equally untrue that Mr. John Bragg entered at the back door and struck Green down ivith a stickJjefoi he wa advised of his approach, or' lhat the two then assaulted their prostrate enemy, when Mr. S.

John Bragg entered the front door and alone, for it is known to several gentlemen who saw me, that I was some cousidrrab'e distance from the door at the time. What transpired before I reached the door, I know nut personally, but it is well known that Green was not taken by surprise, as my brother was compelled to pass across a large store room, while Green was on the alert, and more than doubly armed, 5 having had three pistols and a dirk. Hearing the blows, I hastened to-ihe scene olfaction, antl on arriving at the door, found Green with a large pistol presented, and my brother using his cane over his head and pistol arm. As I entered the door the pistol fired and was dropped by G. who insanity commenced making blows with his dirk." Not knowing whether the pistol had taken effect on my brother, and seeinghirw in attempted to arrest Green's arm, while others in the store at the same time endeavored to separate them.

Accept I pray you, my sincere thanks for the flattering manner in which you have associated my name with the defendere of Constitutional lilKtrty, and believe me ready, "lat any moment, to hazard e-very personal consideration for its preservation and perpetuity. With the highest respect, Your obedient servant, JOHN BRANCH. To Messrs. Kennon, Lewia, Nelson, Goode, ONE OF THE CERTAINTIES.

Van Buren cannot get North Carolina. We look upon fact as settled beyond the reach of dispute. If the vote were taken to day he would stand no possible chance, but it cannot be dissjuis'd ihat his ill -fa fed connexion on the saoe ticket with Col. Johnson, and the pertinacious association of his name wilh the slave question is fust weakening him. not only in tins Mate, out every wnere in the South.

Een some of his warmest riends amonjr the candidates in the VWst had to blitik the question or give it the uo by. In some, they gave him up alto- get her, Ijen. gotten, in cnathatn, twel fiis election to hi great personal popu larity, antl to ihe fact, -that there were three Whig randidates in the field. admits that Van Buren is heavy weight to carry in Chatham. Mr.

Staley gave I im up in Randolph. Mr. Bedford bow ed to the will of In? c.ounrymen in Rnth-erftu'd. and becanie a White man. Gen era I Newand, in the Muutain Co-gtessiotial wa at first proclaimed as for Van Buren, distinctly dU-avowrd the odious charge throughout the District.

Col. Waul of Surrvwe are well informed, never intinatel once that was in favor of Martin Van Buren during the whole siege of electiorieerin in Surry -so far from it, -he avowed himself a warm supporter of ihe Lar.d Bill and extolled Judge' White Our infor- manoii states inai ne wouiu nave ueen beaten to atoms, if he had come out for Van Buren. Col. Shober, an intelligent, honorable tand popular man, came out in Stokes, it was supposed as a Van Bu ren'man, and he-was beaten. We can ot rrjice in the defeat of Col.

Emanuel Shober, for there are few men we respect more for his private but in the redemption of ihe hornVnf our earlv h)s, we do most heartily rejoice. We Have stated the election returns of about 141 members to the nexjt Assembly but of 202, and we have a majority against Van Buren of at least 22. Though this is very strong, yet from many cau-e. it falls hort of beiti" a true test. He is assuredly much weaker than the returns indicate, and can in no possible contingency gel the vote of North Carolina, Carolina alchmun.

writing the ibove, we learn that Col. Shober had been a candidate but1 for a few days previous to the election. ancUhat be avowed sentiments so much in unison with tbe feelings of the County, that if they had been fully known, his electiou would have been alfnost certain. This is a further proof of the bad odour of Van Burenism Li Stokes: even the suspicion kills. Frin the Star.

WOdDY, Sec'y. Female Self-Possession. A correspondent of a Philadelphia paper relates the following inci dent as having' occurred during the riotous proceedings at Baltimore To give you some idea of the power ofbeautv, I will state a circumstance which occurred last nijsht. A phyMcian who had acted as one of the guard, became, from that obnoxious to the will of the mob; they in full fury, marched to his house. It was almost 12 o'clock, and few of the inhabitants had retired to their rest; Mrs was seated at her door when the crowd came suddenly upon the house she stepped out upon the porch, and demanded, in a loud voice, Gentlemen, what do you Stagjered at the fearlessness of the lovely creature, the leaders hesitated for a moment and then told the object of the unceremonious visit.

5te stated that her husband was not in- said that there was no one in the house but herself, another female and her infant. If vou are Battimoriansf said know ynu will not. attempt to molest us, unprotected as we are if yiou are no, pass in. Sayins this, ihestood aside but they exclaimed, No, madam, we will not harm and passed on. I am told that her nerves were strung to such a pitch, that she fainted immediately afterward." Legal Verbosity.

Symqns has just pub'iOied a work, entitled the Mechanics of Law Making," the primary intention of which is to exemplify the gross defects in the verbal and formal parts ol our laws. The obscurity of these laws arises from the verbiage in which their meaning is couched, and Causes a large share of that ruinous litigation which is the bane-of society. The following in-stance of vei boseness we take to be the happiest parody of conveyancing phraseology we have met with: If a man would, accortlinz to law, give to an-o'her an instead of saving I give you that which one would think would be what is called, in legal, pit ras-oloy, an absdute conveyance of all rijrht and title therein, the phrase would run thus: I give you ail and singular my estate and interest, right, title, claim andadvaniage of and in that orange, with all its rind, skin, juice, pulp and pips and. all right and advantage therein with full power to bite, cut, suck, and otherwise eat the same, to give the same away, as fully and effectually as I the said A.
