DIED, LEGISLATIVE COURTESY. A scene occurred in our Legislature, on Thursday last, which would seem to demonstrate to the world; that partizan feeling, rather than a desire to advance the public weal, was the ruling passion of the nullifying whig majority in the Senate? In their course of action towards the Democratic majority in the House of Commons. Bmb: Houses had to go into the election of a Solicitor for the 1st judicial district, on that day. Before the hour for executing this joint order bad arrived, bowever, an election for Judge came on, and the Democratic candidate, (Mr. Holmes) contrary to the hopes and expectations of the nullifying whigs, Was successful.

Alarmed at this result, the Senate almost immediately sent a message to'the House of Commons proposing to postpone the election of Solicitor to a future day. In this proposition, the Commons did not concur and were about going into the election, when information came that the Senate had adjourned, nd its mem bprs were departing the house -thus defeating the election. mis cur, oh I4tti mst. verV suddenly, Mrs: Elizabeth And' Tench, wife of gomery CP-, feison fiarrts, postmaster. We learn from the Globe, that the United States' Mint at Philadelphiais about to re commence the coinage of American Silver Dollars, which has been suspended for thirty years.

We take the following description of the coin, from that paper The face of the coin represents a full length figure of Liberty, seated on a rock, with the classic emblem! of the pileus or liberty-cap surmounting a spear held in the left hand. The right hand rests on the American shield, with its thirteen stripes, crossed by a scroll, on which is the word Liberty, The reverse represents the American eagle, on the wing, drawn accurately from nature; all the heraldric appendages of the old coin being discarded. Over the" field are placed irregularly twenty six stars; the entrance of Michigan inlo the Union, having been, it seems, anticipated. The design of the face of the coin was drawn by Mr. Sully, and tbat of the reverse by Mr.

Titian Peale; both uncLer instructions from the Director ofihe Mint. Ttfe dies were executed by Mr. Ga-brecht, one of the engravers of the mint. This emission of dollars js the fjrstcoin-ined at the 'mint since the year 1836. It is intended to adopt the same design in the other coins, as soon as it is practicable to do so." North Carolina Election.

As the old adage has it, "a poor excuse is better than n6ne." Acting upon this principle, the nullifying whigs have set about trying to satisfy the world, that notwithstanding they have been defeated and routed by the Democrats in the recent Presidential election, there is still a majority in North Carolina against Mr. Van Buren. Their -reasdning and their asseverations in this remind us of the unlucky wight who, after having been closely locked up in durance vile," protested to the turn-key that he could not be imprisoned for the imputed offence that law and justice forbade it, and no one ought to or could put him in prison without a fair trial, Sec. It was all in vain that the jailor assured him he was imprisoned lock'd up' as snug as a mouse under a millstone he protested the louder, peeping out between the bars of the prison, that the law of the land was on his side, and that be could not be put in jail on suspicion, Ice. ice.

So with the nullifiers and whigs they are outnumbered, beaten and discomfitted yet hey stoutly assert, against their own senses, hat their party is the strongest, and that they havelhe majority on their side although they Van Buren majority 246 CASWELL gavethenext highest dem-ocratip majority Van Burep receiving 1055, the coalition ticket 107--majority 948, only 137 less han Edgecombe. Indeed, our Republican friends in all parts of the state rallied so patriotically and so zealously to thej rescue ol their party, their principles atd their country, that they have entitled themselves to the thanks and the gratitude of the friends of liberty throughout the Union. Thomas Ritchie, Esq. the able, indefatigable and veteran Editor of the Richmond Enquirer, has been re-elected Public Printer by the legis-lature of Virginia, by the following vote, viz Ritchie, 92 Samuel Shepherd, 46 46 Mr. VAN BUREN, the President elect, "is as cool and dignified (says a correspoadent of the Richmond Enquirer) as a President elect of a free people should be no ostentatious display about him 5 indeed, he looks more than ever, like the worthy and honored choice pf the Re-publipan party." Let embittered partizan leaders, and their prints, declare an indiscriminate war, in advance, against the measures of Mr.

Van Buren's Administration, right or wrong, as they may we predict thai that Administration will be more popular with the Republican freemen of this Union, than any since the foundation of our National Government. His support came from all quarters ot te Union, and the happj-influence of his Administration will be equally felt in all parts. The Virginia Legislature, met on Monday the air.

T. LORING. Dec. Express Hail.

Poubis have been entertained by many, whether the experiment of running a daily express mail from -Se York to Mobile, would succeed as contemplated by the Post Master Qeneral And in particular, it was believed the mercantile transactions of the interior towns were too limited, and consequently not of a sufficiently urgent natttiv, to warrant the use of the express mail; with the payment of triple rates of postage, as the medium of communication with the great commercial marts of the Union. But the: lecewt misgivings pn this subject are now giiriff place! 0 a very general cqnyictjon ofithe utility and feasibility of the enterprise. 5th inst. Stafford H. Parker was re-electea President of the Senate and Linn Banks, Speaker of the House of Pelegatesj both without opposition.

James Buciianan, has been reelected to the U.

S. Senate; by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, for si years from 4th March next. We learn from the Globe that Mr. Buchanan received 85 votes. Mr.

M' Kenan 24, Penrose 2J, Scattering 2. know Mr. Van Buren has received a majority of more than 3000 of the people's votes in North Carolina, and that he is elected President of the United States. But some object, that as a majority of all the voters in the State have not given their suffrages to Mr. Yan Buren, he is not their choice.

Now to show the unsoundness of this kind of reasoning, it trtiTv. necessary to state, that with one exception, (in 1828) so full a vole was never be, fore given at a Presidential election in North Carolina, as at that just past and that no man living, except Gen. Jackson, (and he only at me of the three periods when he was 9 candidate) has ever received so large a number of the votes of thu people of North Carolina, as Mr. Van Buren.

At the August election, Mr. Muse was elected over CoL Bell, the democratic candidate by a vote of nearly two to one and so certain were the hTgs here, that Mr. Carter Barnard (said to be tjbe most popular man in that county) would be elected, that a room and a bed were prepared for him: Mr-Kenyon's appearance here, with a certificate of efection, Was therefore perfectly to them; the more so, as Mr.

Kenyon's vote gives the Democrats a majority, ia the Legislature, whereas there wbqld have heen a tie had Mr. Muse taken 'his seat, or another' whig or iJullifier been sent in his stead. It. is hoped Pasquotank will now continue on the 'Republican side. ELECTION of JUDGE and" SOLICITOR.
