TALLY-HO! Frederick Feuney, Sheffield, Manufacturer of of the real Taily-ho Razors Every one warranted to shave 0O- The Standard" thus quaintly concludes its account of the Dinner recently given to Gen. Sacitdkks In connection with the Regular Toast about the Rail Road, we are sure, if our fellow-citizen James B. Shepard had been present when it was read, he could not have assented to it. Mr. Shepard was and is still opposed to the construction of Rail Roads, built either entirely or partially at the public expense and with the public money: and most especially to the action of the last Legislature in regard to the subject of Internal Improvement" The Dinner being intended as a personal compliment to Gen.

Saunders, gentlemen of all shades of opiuion contributed to it, and the Regular Toasts consequently contained sentiments not suited to all present." Our neighbor of the Times" pub-lishes, for example, in his last, disclaimers from divers individuals. The following Cards have also been handed us for publication, and we do not feel at liberty to decline the urgent requests of the respective authors TO THE PUBLIC I certainly cannot uy whether the Regular Toast drank at the late Saunders Dinner, at Raleigh, were suited to all present, or not. The Dinner was, I suppose, intended as a compliment to Gen Ssnnders, sad hence, gentlemen of all shades of opinion might for aught I know have been wilting to contribute to it. In connection, however, with the Regular Toast about Louis Kossuth, yon may be sare if I had been present, I con Id not have assented to it. I always have been and am still opposed to every exaltation of foreign over native talent.

I am for developing our onn resources, and cherishing native genius. 1 may aever be before the People for any office, and therefore cannot be personally affected by any seeming assent to what 1 do most cordially disapprove. But as a North Carolina patriot I ask, why leave our own to stand on foreign soil? Why go abroad for poetry, when we have an infinitely superior article of domestie manufacture 1 I am too modest to speak of my own, but surely there is poetry of nttive growth, even of your fair City of Oiks, good enough for a Toast to Louis Kossuth, without straying off into foreign parte. Strike out the poetry, now improperly there; and let it read thus, in a strain slightly altered from the 15th stansa of "BUnner The first and last President of Hungary Louis Kossuth. Kossuth was now in manhood's sturdy prime Replete with pluck, and running o'er with fighting Pro penalties could whip at any lime Tnree full-grown Russians," and without be-nightiug Their separate visions.

aTroth he was a screamer. An engine fixed in brecehes quite a steamer." Uuless this nmendtneut to that toast be unanimously adopted, 1 shall never die happy. GEORGE HORTON. Chapel Hill. A CARD.

It has been said that the Regular Toasts at the Saunders Dinner were by no means suited to all present I duat know bow those present may have felt, but this child felt tolerably streaked on reading the Judiciary Toast. I approve of no such nonsense. I have no good opinion of the law" or the Judicia-ry either; 1 have suffered too much from both. I am uot one of those submissive law-loving judge-feeling folks that can "lick the band just raised to ahed hi blood My blood boils yet at this brauch of the Judiciary which once tied me to a post, and there taught me the thirty-nun articles, against all he usages of Freedom, in the teeth of the resolutions of '08, and and much against my peace and dignity. I am opposed to the Judiciary, and intend to address the people to that effect, when I appear a a Candidate before them, aa anti-improvement and anti-judiciary, and hope they will bear in mind, thnt I now enter my solemn protest against any constructive assent ou my part to this abominable Toast.

PETER PILLORY. week of the session, Howxll Cobs, of Georgia, was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. This result was effected by the adoption of a Resolution, that, after three more successive ineffectual balloungs upoa the majority principle. the individual who should receive a pUmUtv of votes upon a fourth and final vote, should become the Speaker. The choice Tell upon Mr.

Con, as will be seen by the following statement of the vote: Mr. Cobb Mr. Winthrop Mr. Wilmot Mr. Morehead Mr.

Strons 102 100 8 4 3 Mr. A. II. Stephens 1 Mr. Colock 1 Mr.

Durkee 1 Mr. Potter I Mr. Boyd 1 It needless to give the names of the members voting for the several Candidates. It was, we may say, strictly a party vote, as between Messrs. Cobb and Winthrop, save that Messrs.

Morton, Owen, Stephens and Toombs voted for Mr. More-head, of Kentucky, and that Mr. Cabell voted for Mr. Stephens these gentlemen thereby defeating the election of a Whig Speaker. After the announcement of the vote, Mr.

Stanly introduced a resolution declaring Mr. Cobb duly elected, which was carried by upwards of a two-thirds vote. We notice, however, that several gentlemen who had voted repeatedly for the Speaker elect (and among the number Mr. Daniel, the Representative from this District) voted against this formal ratification of the election. Why was this Did Mr.

Daniel's conscience repent him of having voted for a gentleman who refused to sign Mr. Calhoun's manifesto? We are curious to know. The House having thus placed itself in an attitude for the reception of the President's Message, that long and anxiously expected paper, with the accompanying documents, was transmitted to Congress on Monday evening last- After its reading, both Houses adjourned over to Thursday, in order to allow the Speaker of the House the necessary time to arrange the Committees, and the members an opportunity of enjoying the Ho-lyday lestivities. Our readers will join us in congratulations at the termination of this protracted struggle, so ominous of and pregnant with evil to the peace of the Country. Although we should have much preferred the election oT Mr.

Winthrop than whom an abler, or more impartial, or more accomplished officer never filled the chair a removal of the strife and disorganization which the House presented was a far more desirable consummation. Whatever regrets, besides, we might entertain, under other circumstances, at the selection of a hostile to the Administration, they are tempered very materially in this instance, by the fact, that Mr. Cobb is a gentleman of enlarged and liberal views, is a well-versed parliamentarian, and, what above all is necessary, at the present critical juncture of affairs, deprecates all precipitate agitation in advance. He will not find the Speaker's rostrum a bed of roses troublous times lefore him have already foreshadowed themselves, and portentous clouds are gathering but we hope and believe, that, so far as his station' invests him with influence, it will be exerted in compliance with that spirit of Coh-sckvatism which elevated him to office. To the Whig body of tlx Hemic the credit on organization is due.

The resolution by which an election was made, introduced by Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee, is the same which was previously presented by Conferees upon the part of the Whirs i By the President of the United STATES.

Herald, of Friday, says Mrs. Webster, with her daughters, has visited her husband once in jail. It was the only interview that had been permitted to her since the terrrble night of the arresL--We may imagine the affecting nature of that meeting, but may not presume to speculate upon the feelings of father, mother and daughters, united for a brief period, under circumstances so painful. Judge Fay, of the Middlesex Probate Court, visited the cell yesterday. The interview lasted a long time.

It will be recollected that it had been reported that Prof. Webster passed the evening at this gentle man1 house, with a social party, on the Friday that Dr. Parkman disappeared. What connection this protracted and confidential consultation may have with the professor's defence, is yet" to be seen. It was stated that, on the evening in question, Prof.

Webster was cheerful and sociable as usual, and that no part of his conduct betrayed him, as a man who had a few hours before imbued his hand with a brother's blood the blood of a long standing acquaintance, a warm friend and a ready benefactor. Prof. Webster passes his time apparently happy. He is devoted chiefly to the perusal of books bearing upon the science of which he is Professor, and other works of a grave character, that call into exercise all the powers of his intellect At the same time he is lively and cheerful with all who are permitted to visit him. He converses freely and without reserve to all his friends who are admitted to his cell, and there are many who claim the privilege which is in most cases allowed both for public and private interviews.

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS. By the arrival here this morning of the steamship Palmetto, CapL Smith, from Galveston, Jthe 13tb instant, we have received files of the Civilian and the News to the date of her departure, with other papers from the interior of the State. Texas, it is determined to assert and maintain her right to the possession of Santa Fe. A resolution has been introduced into the Legislature instructing the representatives of the State in Congress to protest against Hugh Smith, or any, other delegate from that part of New Mexico taking a seat therein as a representative from that Territory, and in the event of the protest's not being heeded, it will be their duty to leave Washington and return home. Another resolution followed, authorizing the Governor to raise a regiment of mounted men, to proceed' to Santa Fe and assist in organizing the Eleventh Judicial District, of which that city is the principal seat.

One hundred thousand dollars are to be voted for the expenses. The troops are to avoid coming in collision with the United States forces. It is probable that the resolution will be adopted, as we learn. Y. O.

Pic. MR. WEBSTER AND THE HUNGA RIANS. The city of New York, with its large and mixed population, is never without some topic of excitement The latest appears to be the arrival there of some of the Hungarian Patriots. The municipal authorities propose to honor them with the hospitalities of the City, and also to give them a public reception, in which the military have, with very questionable propriety, resolved to cooperate.

As an accident which happened on Monday last, the Commercial Advertiser mentions that an exchange of sentiments took place at the A 8 tor House between Mr. Webster and Ujhazy, who with his family suite was introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Webster by Count Vass, (another Hungarian exile, who expresses himself in the English language with perfect propriety.) Ujhazy is represented to have addressed Mr. Webster with much feeling, and is thus reported Sir Strangers and in a strange land, in the midst of our misfortunes, we come to America, to seek an asylum here.

Power cannot stretch its hands so far as to reach us in this Western World. Here we are safe, and we feel ourselves secure. In one of your late speeches, you expressed a sympathy for us in the midst of our distress which has penetrated our hearts. We thank you. We pray you to encourage the same feelings, to continue in the same sympathy, and so to mittgate our sorrows.

"We look to America for kindness and protection. We look to you, sir, for counsel and for consolation and that Power which sees all things and governs all will not fail in its reward to your generous mind." Mr. Webster, taking the Governor by the hand, made the following reply I give you my hand with great pleasure. We are glad to sec you and your friends The effort which you have so gallantly made for Hungarian nationality and Hungarian liberty has won our hearts. We welcome you to these Western shores.

We are hon ored that you have sought an asylum here from the political mislortunes wnicn you have suffered at home. Our sympathies are with you and for you. and for those objects of your affections which you have left behind you. The whole American people take an interest in your efforts for liberty and independence. The blow of power which struck down your hopes fell heavily also on our own hearts.

In the midst of your misfortunes, you come far away to a land of strangers in search of safety. Here you find it-Here we assure it to you Noenemy's hand shall harm or touch you. Hungarians, you are all welcome iou who have come, and your friends who shall come, will all find here sympathy, protection, and security. Again I say, sir, your gallantry, your love of liberty, and your misfortunes, have made you welcome to all Americans." Ujhazy, when this speech was interpreted to htm by Count Vass, was affected to tears, and desired the Count to say that God would not forget such considerate and such generous sympathy itional Intelligencer.

The following Letters from our Washington Correspondent, though rather stale, in consequence of the suspension of our Paper on Wednesday last, will be found, notwithstanding, to contain matter of interest Washington, December 21, 1849. I have the same old story to tell. Tbe House is as far from organization as ever, apparently. You will perceive from the published proceedings that nothing of interest has transpired daring the week. It is.

possible that organization may be effected in the way indicated by the arrangement agreed upon by the two great parties, in caucus but it will require more of the spirit of conciliation than appears to exist, judging from recent events. I imagine that the plan contemplates that both parties shall sustain the candidate selected by the caucus committees. The selection will perhaps be made in this way each party will fix upon its favorite candidate, and thea a choice will be made between them by drawing their names from a box, in the way that jurors are selected. I see no other way of effecting organization. I stated in a former letter, I see not the remotest prospect of electing any one in the ordinary course.

The members vote viva voce, and the refractory members from both North and South are goaded oa by their constituents to maintain the ground they have assumed. They are also instigated by a love of consistency, and the character of firmness, to hold on to the impracticable position in which they find themselves. I believe that many of them would recede from it, if they could do so without bringing ridicule upon themselves. To-day has been one of the most disorderly of tbe session. No balloting for Speaker took place.

I believe that the members designedly avoided a vote, in order to complete the caucus arrangements alluded to above. The caucus committees met last night and again this morning, and I understand they hold a third consultation to-night. It is thought that one of four gentlemen will be selected as Speaker, either Mr. Winthrop, Mr. Cobb, Gov.

McDowell, or Mr. Stanly, and that the party securing the Speaker will yield the Clerk add SergeaDt-at-Arms to the other side. A sharp debate took place in the Senate jester-da) upon a motion proposing to admit Father Mathew to a seat on the floor of that body. The subject matter was wholly unworthy of the consideration it received, and the excitement it produced wholly uncalled for. I doubt the propriety of the proposition, as it establishes a precedent which may frequently give rise to such scenes, but it was idle and ridiculous to oppose the motion on the ground taken by the new member from Alabama, Mr.

Clemens, whose unseasonable introduction of the slavery question gave rise to the debate. It is a matter of no consequence to the American people what Father Mathew's spec ulative views touching slavery may be it is quite sufficient to satisfy reasonable men, that he has peremptorily refused, in a correspondence with the Abolitionists, to ally himself with them while on a visit to the United Stales, for the propagation of those views. He comes here as the great Apostle of Temperance, and declines to have any thing to do with any other party than that of Temperance. By the way, his presence here has created far less interest than I anticipated in fact, almost none at all, as far as I am informed. I hare hardly heard his name mentioned, except in connection with the debate in the Senate.

I regret that such is the case, but attribute it to the feverish state of the public mind produced by the failure to organize the House. He left this morning for the South. A motion was made in the House to-day, to rescind the temporary rule adopted to preclude debate. The motion failed so that the pent up fires of political animosity must be stayed a few days longer, until the election of officers shall open a safety-valve. The attention of your more Southern readers cannot have failed to be arrested by a recent letter in the Intelligencer from the London correspondent of that paper.

The writer estimates, that in order to supply tbe European and American demand for Cotton, the United Suites must produce three millions of be lev. wing to the rapid increase in the consumption of tbe article! The crop of this country has never exceeded 2,500,000 bales, and the writer expresses the opinion, that the quantity demanded cannot be produced. The consequence must be a material advance in the price of the article. If his figures are correct, or are any thing like correct, the Southern people have no occasion to apprehend a redundant supply. December 22, 1849.

The British Minister, Sir Henry Lytton Bul-wer, and suite, arrived here yesterday, and took lodgings at the National Hotel. I understand that a son of the Novelist of the same name, accompanies the Minuter as a private Secretary. Also a Minister from Nicaragua in capacity of Charge d' Affaires. He is styled Senor Don Ed-uardo Carcache. The immediate prompting cause of his mission is doubtless the difficulty with England, relative to the Musquito country.

The Republic of Nicaragua is disposed to throw itself into the arms of the United States, as a protection against tbe chums set dp or the Musquito King by Great Britain. If the London Times is to be regarded as a fair exponent of British feeling, and ol the British Government, there is little danger of serious difficulty about the matter. On the other hand Lord Palrnerston is said to insist stren uously on the rights ol the Musquito King. SaTOrdat EVBM5Q. Since writing the above the House has had another sitting, and has organised by the election of Mr.

Cobb. This result has been effected by adopting a rule that a simple plurality should constitute an election. The plan is different from the one indicated by me above. On the whole I cannot regret the result, as it puis an end to an anomalous state of things, in which the worst sectional jealousies have been fostered. Mr.

Cobb is regarded on all hands as a gentleman, and is supposed to possess the requisite qualifications for the Speakership. It was agreed that after the third vote to day, if no choice were made, then a simple plurality should elect, and Mr. Cobb receiving the highest number, was afterwards declared duly elected by the general concurrence of members. Mr. Stau-ly offered the confirmatory resolution.

TheHouse remained in session until six o'clock, and then adjourned over to Monday, after appointing a joiut committee to wait on the President with reference to the Message. Old Zack, it is said, will not listen to the idea of Disunion, and talks as high as Old Hick ory was went to do' in the days of Nullification. He has taken an oath to execute the laws and. he is not the man to shrink from responsibility." There may be two opinions about his talent for writing, but his fighting qualities have never been brought in question. R- NOTICE.

We bare the pleasure of laying the Message of the President of the United States before our readers, and we want no strouger evidence than its recommendations afford, that the Government has fallen into most honest, safe and competent hands. It would be a superfluous recommendation to call attention to the Message, as its political importance is always calculated to excite the most lively interest; we cannot, however, pass it by. without expressing our opiuioa on its general features reserving for a future occasion, what we may have to say upon its specific or more prominent recommendations. The characteristics of the new Administration, as more fully developed by this Address from its head, form such a marked contrast with the meretricious and evanescent policy of our late rulers, as ought completely to con vinceevery candid mind, that our National character is immensely exalted by placing men at the head of affairs, who, instead of exerting all their influence to gratify the selfish views of party or a personal ambiu'on, seek only the attainment of solid public good, and the stability of our admirable institutions. The Address in question, is precisely, we think, what the Country wanted to see no splendid promises to the ear" no glossy imposition, wherein fictitious anticipations are indulged but a plain, simple, honest Republican confession of faith.

The principles marked out by Gen. Taylor, as those which will influence his conduct, as President of the United States, may be reduced, onac-count of their simplicity and the conciseness with which they are stated, into a very small compass. We subjoin a brief synopsis First In the exercise of the Veto, will limit his rejection of bills to such as are manifestly unconstitutional, or tend to encroach upon the rights of Sates or of individuals. Second He will not suffer the Executive Department of the Government to become the source of legislation but lea ve the whole business of making the laws of the Nation to be done by those to whom the Constitution has exclusively assigned it. Third He will studiously avoid all interference with the civil affairs of foreign nations, and all entangling alliances with other Governments.

Fomtk He suggests the adjustment of theTa-r upon a basis which will augment the revenue, a id at the same time afford proper encouragement to domestic industry. He also recommends a reduction io the rates of postage and the adoption of a low uniform rale. Fifth Shoo Id the Constitution recently adopted by the people of California, in default of the last Congress to establish a civil government there, be conformable to the requirements of the Constitution of the United States, he recommends its reception by Congress. The people of New Mexico being expected to make application for admission into the Union, he advises Congress to await the action of the people of those Territories, and thus avoid exciting topics fraught with which threaten a formation of parties upoa sectional considerations. Sixth He avows and inculcates, in nervous and eloquent language, a veneration for the Union that beloved Union which is the object of devotion to every one who deserves to bear the American name.

Of course, we do not expect the Message to pass without much cavil. The bitter enders," who have imprecated the Moloch of a ruthless, unqualified party hatred and vengeance, will assail it in every point. But there are few real lovers of their country, call themselves by what name they may, who will not yield to it, as a whole, their hearty approbation. Thc RtroaT of the Secretary of tlje Treasury, accompanying the President's Message, is a very lengthy and elaborate document, marked by consummate ability. We will endeavor to arrange a suitable synopsis of its contents, hereafter.

Undoubtedly one of the first Periodicals of the day, it need only be seen to be liberally encouraged. 03- The extensive Depot of the Richmond and Fredericksburg Rail Road, at the former place, was destroyed by fire, on Monday morning last The loss is very heavy. CO- Thk Pstxjusckq Iktelligkkcex, edited by John W. Syme, himself one of the cleverest gentlemen, as his journal is one of the most sterling, in the country, will be issued daily, from and after the 1st of January next, on the following terms For the Daily Paper, a year. Triweekly, 5 Be or thk Capitol of Alabama.

The beautiful Capitol of the State of Alabama, at Montgomery, was entirely consumed by fire on the 14th inst. The Legislature was in session at the time the fire broke out. How it originated is doubtful, the flames having been first seen issuing from the front portico. The Advertiser says We understand that the Clerks of the two hou ses saved all their papers, and that the archives of the btate, in the omces of the Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer and Comptroller, were also saved. Moat all the furnitare and the larger portion of the different libraries were likewise preserved from the flames, so that the great loss was the building.

The city of Montgomery will doubtless- erect another, should it be necessary. The Presbyterian Church has been tendered for the use of the Legislature. The increasing demand for the Tally. Ho RacoraJ is tbe strongest proof possible of their being duly appreciated, both at home and abroad; their fame (having spread to every quarter of the globe) is now fully established, ami tbeir undoubted superiority admitted.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT MEETING. In compliance with a Resolution of the Greens Iboro Convention, a Rail Road Convention was Bag ley Secretaries. Col. John McLeod, who was a delegate to the Greensboro' Convention, address ed his fellow-citizens in his usual felicitous manner; first concisely reporting the proceedings at Greensboro' the enthusiasm, unanimity aud fixed determination manifested there in relation 10 the construction of the North Carolina Rail Road, and then eloquently presenting its claims upon the State generally, and the people of Johnston particularly. He concluded with a complimentary allusion to Gen.

R. M. Saunders, whom be had the pleasure of introducing. Gen. Saunders arose and expressed his surprise at a remark of the gentleman who had preceded him, viz that there were enemies of the project under consideration.

He could conceive how some might fail to aid this measure, but that any person should be an enemy of the scheme, was not less unreasonable than that be should be his own enemy. This he conclusively demonstrated. He proceeded to deliver one of the most eloquent and patriotic addresses we have ever heard, urging bv lacts and arguments, tbe construction ot Uie Itoad. At one time we looked upon the most saddening picture of the impoverished and neglected condition of North Carolina, arising from the apathy and want of enterprise ot her citizens; at another, the happy results of a construction of the Iload, in the increased value of its land and its products, the checking of emigration, facilities for market, the diversion of trade to our own Towns, the means of speedy and cheap travelling, were so forcibly depicted, that the Convention were almost constrained to cry out, in concert with their orator the Road must, and shall be built." At the conclusion, a number of shares were subscribed for, and a general feeling of confidence expressed. There was an effort made, (and we feel confident of its success.) to form a company which will constitute one of the hundred to take the balance of stock which may remain unsubscribed for.

Dr. J. O. Watson, who is already oneof the company of one hundred, expressed a determination to take another share in said hundred, if necessa ry. J.

W. B. Watson, Pharaoh Richardson and Wm. S. Bailee ger, were appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions.

On motion of CoL McLeod, a vote of thanks was tendered to Gen. Saunders for his eloquent and patriotic address. On motion of A. D. Northam, the thanks of the Convention were tendered the President and Secretaries; and the Convention then adjourned.

Baglet, Secretaries. OREGON MR. THURSTON." Being present in the Representatives' Hall on the first day of the session of Congress, we were a witness of the sensation produced, and a sharer of the singular emotion excited, when the clerk, in calling the roll of members, by States and Territories, uttered the words Oregon Mr. Thurston," (the name of the delegate) and the answer was promptly given Here Yes Oregon had indeed come That far off region, which, scarcely a dozen years ago seemed almost like an appendage of another planet, answered Here," by its representative, in the Capitol at Washington I It was the mighty Atlantic calling in a thundering tone to the equally mighty Pacific, I greet you to-day and the latter responding in the roar of its surges, I reciprocate your greeting." Thought could but be busy with the past, as well as with the present and the future It ranged rapidly from the Rock of Plymouth to the Falls of the Wallamette from December 1620 to December 1849. and coming down to the assemblage in the Hall as to a focal point, it there found tangible and living evidences that the Young Giant of the West already Lands appropriated by law for tbe use ef Schools, military aud other purposes, will be excluded Uvux the sales.

October nlj 1849. 13w It is to Edward Stanly of. North Caroh-a the man who had the adroitness to place himself in such a position that he could be heard without being called to order before he had made the designed impression, and the boldness to charge the bargain openly upon the high contracting parties it is to htm and to George Ashmun, of Massachusetts, that the thanks of the country are due. Had the exposure depended upon Locnfocoism, it would never have been made. We find the very men who had most cause of suspicion, sitting, after recording their votes, as damb as though their mouths had been herraetical-cally sealed.

We cannot but regard their having neglected to make their suspicions known, as a very great dereliction of duty to their constituents, and to the whole Soolh. Richmond Whig. stands with a foot on either ocean I WUmngion (jY. C) OtxwdcU..
