The Brooklyn Daily Eigle of a recent date con tains the following allusion to CoL Brown of this State: "The South offers many candidates for the Vice Presidency of whom she may well be proud. North Carolina offers a noble monument of the proudest days of Democratic ascendency in the person of the Hon. Bedford Brown, the incorruptible Senator throughout the time of Jackson and Van Btiren. A mire upright and honest man never walked upon the floor of the Senate than Bedford Brown. His motives were never for a moment suspected of sel fishness during the long terms of service through the model Administrations of Jackson and Van Bu ren. Other gentlemen of equal ability but of less experience present themselves in the persons of Stephens, Davis, Johnson and others. From such a galaxy of political worth and brilliancy, the Con vention at Baltimore cannot fail to make a selection that will command the support of every true Demo crat and national conservative throughout the entire confederacy." The compliment paid by the Eagle to CoL Brown is well deserved. We repeat with pride the words of that journal "a more upright and honest man never walked upon the floor of the Senate than Bed ford Brown." And CoL Brown is as firm as he is frank and honest A soldier who learned his tactics In the school of Jefferson, and who fought, as he did, the battles of Democracy under Jackson, could not be otherwise than true, inflexible, courageous, honest CoL Brown's name has also been favorably men tioned within the last few weeks for the Vice Presi dency, by the Virginia Index, the Border Star of Westport, Missouri, and other journals in the North and Northwest, some of which are friendly to Judge Douglas. CoL Brown made many friends at Char leston by the nationality of his Democracy and the xeal and ability with which he labored to bring the deliberations of the Convention to a fortunate issue. We need not add that if it should be the pleasure of the Baltimore Convention to nominate him for Vice President, the Democracy of this State would be greatly gratified, and would exert themselves with unusual zeal for any ticket on which his name might be placed. : . Robeson County. We published in our last the proceedings of the Democratic meeting in Robeson county, over which CoL Thomas A. Norment presided, and at which that gentleman offered resolutions in relation to Judge Douglas and non-intervention. In the pro ceedings as we published them it is stated that the Chairman, CoL Norment, " read the resolutions" referred to " before the Convention." It was not stated that they were passed or rejected. But in the last Fayetteville Carolinian we find the pro ceedings more fully given than in the account which we published; and in these proceedings it is stated that CoL Norment'8 resolutions " tcere unan inwutly adopted." We, therefore, publish the resolutions gain, as follows, as embodying the sentiments of the sterling Democracy of Robeson : "Resolved, That this convention having full con fidence in the ability, patriotism, integrity and Democracy of the Hon. Stephen A. Dongias, and it having been made apparent in the Charleston Con vention that he is the choice of the people of the Union, we, the Democratic party of Robesen county, in convention assembled, do hereby express our preference for him, as our first choice for the Presi dency, and most respectfully request our delegates to the adjourned convention at Baltimore to carry out our wishes by voting for him as such. Resolved, That we deny and scout the idea that Congress has any right or power to intervene in relation to slavery, within the States or Territories. Knotted, That we will cherish, protect and de fend, so far as we are able, the Union and Constitu tion from every peril, let the assault come from whatever source it may." . tW The present season has been specially mark d by storms and tornadoes. ; Our exchange papers from the North and Northwest contain numerous ccounts of the loss of property and life by wind d hail storms ; while we have heard from several localities in this State in which the loss has been fcrious. We learn that a hail storm,'about three fourths of a mile in width, passed over Weldon on Friday last, with destructive effect: The growing '"'PS in its path were completely destroyed houses ere unroofed or blown down, and much' damage one to property generally. - The force of the wind, such at Weldon as to blow the tin from the' of Happer's Hote!, and to send heavy freight p1 8Ter&l hundred feet out if their places on the oak We regret to learn that N.

Ellis. " While we are not disposed to engage in" any con troversy with the Murfree8borough Citizen, or, to express any opinion as to the issue of veracity which its Editor, Mr. Foster, says has been nude up be tween himself and Gov. Ellis, we will nevertheless, take the liberty of offering an explanation. We do this the more freely because we have heretofore re ferred to the matter, and have denied certain declar ations attributed to Got. Ellis at Gatesville by the Register. Mr. Foster Rays : "The remark attributed to Gov. Ellis, to the ef fect that the East paid her full measure of taxatbn, heaped up, pressed down and running over, while the West, like the horse-leach, still cried ."givel give!" vat made by that gentleman." Very well admit that Gov. Ellis used these very words what then T Was that all he taid f In the account of the Gatesville discussion, published in the Murfreesborough Southron, and prepared in all probability under Mr. Pool's own supervision, Gov. Ellis is represented in substance as having thus spoken of the East and West ; but immediately af terwards, or in close connection therewith, he is represented as turning to Mr. Pool and Mr. Badger, and declaring that they, and plainly. by inference, not the people of the West not the West as a sec tion but these gentlemen, and others of the Oppo sition, assuming to speak for the West had uttered tht$ cry. It was a cry gotten up by Opposition leaders in the name of the West. This, we are as sured, was the Governor's meaning. The report of the discussion given by the Citizen is not before us, but we have no doubt that Mr. Foster also reported the Governor, as the correspondent of the Southron did, as referring to Messrs. Badger and Pool and other Opposition leaders. He was probably not im pressed at the time, as the Governor intended to im press the entire audience with the fact that he re garded this Western cry for more money as a cry gotten up, not by the people of that region, but by the leaders of a party ; and losing the connection which existed in the Governor's mind, and which he intended by his language to convey, it is natural that Mr. Foster should not have fully comprehended and reported him. But however this may be, wc must look to the speaker's intention, and not hold him rigidly to language uttered in the excitement of debate. Gov. Ellis did not mean to make a section al speech, or to reflect upon the West He was showing how much the East paid and what the West had received ; and he was doing this to prove that the demand of the West for more, under a new system of taxation vhieh demand va being made by 0oition leaden was not well founded. This was his object, whatever his language may have been. We repeat we have nothing to do with the issue of veracity which Mr. Foster says exists between himself and the Governor; but we may add that we do not believe either of them would say what he did not believe to be true. As a friend to both of them we would much prefer to look upon the matter as founded in misapprehension ; and we think we have shown that it is reasonable and just to suppose that it is thus founded.

These extracts will richly repay perusaL Johnston Codktt. We learn that the Democrats of Johnston will hold a meeting in Smithfield on Saturday next, to nominate candidates for the Leg islature. They are in fine spirits, and the prospect is that they will present a ticket to the people which will sweep the County. Commencement at ths Uxiveksitt. We are in debted to an esteemed friend for the very full and interesting account which we give to-day of the late Commencement at Chapel Hill. . .. Georgia Democratic Convention, HiLLEDGEViiXE, June 5. In accordance with a previous understanding, the National Democracy (Douglas,) met here in Convention to-night, Judge Warner presiding. The Convention re-affirmed the Cincinnati Platform, declared the right of property in slaves, endorsed the Dred Scott decision, and nominated a full delegation to. the Baltimore Con vention. .

Mr. Editor: I take it for granted that you are committed against attending to more than one thing at a time. When that one thing is politics, you leave science to the care of others. ' When you are after the Republicans you cannot see to Seniors and MarshallsLadies and Ball-Managers. By the way, 1 hare made a distinction where there is no differ ence. The Juniors appear to manage the ball, but then the ladies manage the Jnniors, (and some Se niors, and especially the Fresh.) So, the ladies have their own way at Chanel Hill, and at Com mencement, as they do elsewhere, and at all times. Now herein, as often occurs in other cases, you may not have been where your watchful eyes would have been of great service to you, professionally. Has the ad valorem 6ystem been adopted y et ? Yet, i n de fiance of its non existence, I saw some at the Com mencement collecting tribute that way. Yes, and the payers thereof did not protest, but seemed ready to pay again. As a guardian of the law as a watchman to warn the people of invasions of their rights, you ought to have been there to see what I saw so that you might tell the judges, who have to charge the grand juries, and the sheriffs, who have to gather the taxes, that the girls declare ad valorem both proper and constitutional, and the boys agree that it is both pleasant and natural I know that Manager H gave his regalia to Miss P , as a sign that she was worthy of the sover eignty over bis heart; that Miss A has Mar shall N 's. while he declares that it but infini- tesimally marks her worth. He wants her to take all from him ; when Miss leaned lightly on 's arm, and whispered gently, 'Is not this de lightful?" do you "think he was anything but a disciple of ad val-remt He only sighed for a chance to show how much he valued the testimony. Whole columns of the Standard could not have kept him from signing himself away with a " For value received." So you see, Mr. Editor, that the price of liberty is not only eternal, it is also universal vigilance. - So many people gathered at Chapel Hill last year to see the President of every body around them, that an equal number was not left to gather to see the great man of only a few. Last year there was an uncomfortable squeeze ; this year the pressure was moderate, and so more comfortable to the squeezed. Those who came expecting to have their Protestant curiosity gratified by gorgeous Catholic ceremonies, when Archbishop Hughes fulfilled his promise to the Senior Class, must have been greatly disap)omt eil. He came one day and went away the next. He wore insignia of his order, but they were as few and as simple as possible. The cassock, a doctor's cape, a massive gold cross, and a glittering Episcopal ring (said to be a present from the Pope, while it cost (1130,000) were all that externally marked the most prominent representative of the Roman .Pen tiff on this side of the ocean. When then-crmon was preached on Tuesday night the band played a piwe of sacred music. Bishop Lynch read a collect, Archbishop Hughes delivered his charge without a note, or book, or a desk before him ; then Bishop Lynch read another collect the Iwnd save some more music, and the Archbishop retired, supported by Bishop Lynch and Father McNecry. Then the large audience dispersed in silence, each man wondering that he had heard what hnd it been from Protestant lips, would have been excellent Protestant doctrine. Not one word that the Archbishop uttered could have revealed the difference between his faith and that of all but some twenty of his audie ice. Not one word of his description of the love to God and love to man could have warned a hearer that he es chewed King James' Bible in the closet, in the school and in the pulpit Herein the Archbishop was properly prudent lie and his people expe rience from the intensely Protestant community in North-Carolina, a liberality which they never show. Of our judges one-sixth are Romanists, while not one-sixtieth of our people believe as they believe. Not one of the Senior class which invited Arch bishop Hughes, and which now sat so attentively and respectfully before him, were of, or were likely to be, of his faith. The Chapel was filled with the most thoroughly Protestant audience that perhaps he had ever addressed. Under such circumstances, to have been distinctive in his teachings, without express permission to be so, would have leen to excite displeasure and discussions where healthful and silent reflections should have been his only aims. The Archbishop's theme was the love to (id and love to man, enjoined by our Savior in his reply to the tempting lawyer, as it is contained in the 22d Chapter of St Matthew's Gospel. Love to man was not exclusive ol nor did it set limits to love for God. On the contrary love to the Creator was the only source of true love to the creature. If God loves man, man may and should love his fellow, even when injurious and profane. Heathenism has ever kept man apart from man. Christianity has made man pity and sympathize with man. The charity of the Gospel has given eyes to the blind, cars to the deaf, and a tongui; to the dumb. It has made man like God, and this because it is the man ifestation of love to God. This love was first dwelt upon as not an effusion from natural sensibilities, but as the tribute of the understanding, knowing the glory of God, of the will as freely choosing His service, and of the affections as sweetly engaging the heart in communion with Hitn. Love to God was not inconsistent with fear of Him as one who would not look upon sin with the least allowance, but would inevitably punish it to the utmost The graduating class was solemnly warned against read ing hooks written by infidels. An infidel knew not the God of the Holy Scriptures, and, therefore, he could not represent Him or His works aright So his discussions prevented the soul from loving God and the soul that did not love our God, as He has revealed Himself, cannot love his neighbor aright Indeed there was not a sentiment nor an expression throughout this able and interesting dis course which would have been unseemly on the the lips of any preacher from any one of the Pro testant sects. Episcopalians, Baptists, Presbyteri ans, Methodists, all united in praising the words of truth and wisdom that the Archbishop presented in a remarkably clear and simple style. The annual address before the time-honored So cieties of the University was delivered by John Pool, Esq., of Elizabeth City. Mr. Pool was intro duced on this occasion in a remarkably neat and ap propriate manner by Mr. E. J. Hale, of the Senior Class, as the representative of the Philanthropic Society. As a graduate in 1847 h was one of the committee that waited on President Pplk while present at his graduating exercises. Graced at that time with the second honors of his class, his own experience has given sanction to the doctrines he lived by when in College, and now recommended to his successors that a close and persevering atten tion to his text books was the proper business of the student while at College ; that this only would secure to him the proper benefits of a resort to the University. Valuable knowledge can be gained on ly by correct thinking, and this by the mass of mankind is secured by a patient communion with the clearest and closest thinkers, whether living or dead. This doctrine he enforced by a consideration of the nature and correlations of the mental and moral faculties of man, appealing to the teachings of history and biography, by a glance at the im mense fields in physical and in metaphysical science yet to be occupied, and by a glowing picture of the strength and prosperity of a people united because they know the value of each to all, intelligent by reason of each man's exercising independently and aright the gift of reason, and virtuous because they know their duties, their spheres and mutual limita tions. Mr. Pool's style is clear, unambitious, and but little ornamentaL His manner was quiet, con tributing very little from the arts of the declaimer to the force of his teachings. It was only when ho dwelt at the close of his address on the vison of his country, happy because filled with the wise and the good, that he showed the warmth of his feelings by the" flashing of the eye and the fulraws of his tones. 7 V.

The efforts of these young gentlemen were very creditable to them. Indeed, it was the best decla mation we have heard from Freshmen for years. Where so many did very well, it may be invidious to draw distinctions ; but it is only just to record the fact that Messrs. Willeford and Harris secured marked attention to their efforts. The Sophomore competitors, on Wednesday night, were as follows: 1. The Washington Monument, Winthrop. Wm. W. Jones, Henderson. 2. Development of Southern Resources, Garland. Ai rkijus C.

Latin Salutatory, Towa Royster, Raleigh. 2. Where Eloquence flourishes. Liberty must dwell, Jinii s Ci llen Battle, Chapel HilL 3. Moral Courage, James Kelly. Moore Co. 4.

Influence of Speculative Minds, Wm. Augus tus Wooster, Wilmington. 10. The Valedictory, Edward Joseph Hale, Fayetteville. Mr. Brooks was prevented by sickness from per forming the duty assigned him; but his colleagues diil their work well. Mr. Royster spoke so clearly, with such propriety of enunciation, emphasis and manner, that almost every body thougUt the salu tatory intelligible. Mr. Hale also acquitted himself so as to win applause the metaphor with which he began his address was striking, and very appropri ate; he and his class-mates were as the waters of a river, which, stayed by the rushing tide, linger awhile in their banks ere they are spread abroad over the wide ocean before them. Messrs. Wilson and Wooster were also listened to with pleasure by a crowded house. The Alumni Association presented nothing this year for the instruction or amusement of the pub lic. It may be they thought the savour of Dr. Hooper's address ought to last longer than one year. The attendance of the Alumni was not so numer ous as it often is, or, if present they did not pre sent themselves when the representatives of their c!ass were called for. Perhaps those who thus shrink from public gaze arc bachelors, who, as roll ing years push back the j-ear of their graduation, arc ashamed to show themselves, conscious of hav ing no tmi$ Jnlu preparing to fill papa's place at College. B. F. Moore, Esq.. of Raleigh, is the Presi dent of the Association for the coming year, and .Messrs. R. J. Smith, G. F. Davidson, J. Pool, R. H. (i raves, J.

His Honor Judge Battle and Robert R. j3ridgers, Esq., were the only two members of the Board of Examiners present, while the examination of the. College Classes was going on. From, their report and that of the Faculty the public, is to learn that the boys at the University, as to scholarship, are like Jeremiah's figs were as to taste some are good and some are bad and the bad are more numerous than they ought to bei . . ' K -. . h At the end of their four years race the foremost therein were found to be Messrs. Battle,' Bryan,, Hale, Pool, Royster, Strong, Wilson and Wooster.. The next to them were Messrs.

Messrs. Battle and James Kelly were counted as absent from no one of the 4500 attendances on duty required of them in the . four years of a College course. Mr. Pool was never absent in four years when he was on the HilL . Mr. Strong was never absent or tardy when it was possible for him to at tend. Mr. Thorp had not been absent dunng the last two years. Messrs. Barbee, Nicholson, Thorp and Wilson were rarely absent in the four years. Messrs. Baird, Barrett, Bond, Brooks, Bruce. Cole," Cooper, T. W.

The Editors of the University Magazine offered a desirable prize for the best contribution to their columns during the year, and another fo- the second best The committee to whom the decision was entrusted thought that none of the essays were of a character to be called first rate. The second prize, Irving's works, was awarded to Mr. Hugh Strong, of the graduating class. So ends our record of another Commencement at Chapel Hill. As already intimated, the crowd was not as great as it has sometimes been heretofore ; but the boys said the girls were uncommonly beau tiful. The sterner sex also exhibited some notable faces and venerable forms. His Excellency, Gov. Ellis, was there, as were Ex-Governors Morehead Swain, Manly and Graham; their Honors Judges Battle and Manlv, the Rev. Messrs. Hart and Has sell, Messrs. B. F. Moore, J. H. Bryan, G. F. David son, R, R, Bridgers, N. Williams, and others of the Board of Trustees. The Hon. John H. Bryan was there to greet his seventh son as a graduate of the University. The first graduated in 1842, and four of the seven with the highest honors of the Insti tution. The good order maintained by the strangers and the students must have been gratifying to the friends of the University. The prompt courtesy, vet deci ded energy of the Marshal, Mr. J. G. Wright, and ot his cmeicnt assistants, Messrs. Comn, Nicholson, Walker and Van Wick, contributed much to this happy result. The management of the dances and of the entertainment connected with them, were also said to reflect credit on those to whom it was en trusted We have no intelligence from the Richmond Convention which assembled on Monday. The En quirer of Monday morning gives notice that the Convention will assemble "this day at 12 M , in Metropolitan Hall." That paper promises full re ports of the procedings. Douglm Meeting in Boston. Boston, June 7. The friends of Mr. Douglas for the Presidency rallied in great force to-night, pack ing Fancull Hall, with large crowds outside, where speeches were also made. Ex-Governor Welles, of Maine, presided in the Hall, assisted by E. C. Bailey, and about one hundred other Vice Presidents. Addresses were made by Hon. Reverdy Johnson ; J. C. Kavanagh, of Minnesota; Hon. S. S. Cox, of Ohio, and others. The meeting was very enthu siastic. Resolutions were adopted, asserting that the de mocracy of Massachusetts favor Douglas for the Presidency, endorsing the Charleston platform and the non-intervention doctrine, that the Massachusetts delegation are bound by every honorable considera tion to cast their votes at Baltimore for Douglas, urging harmony to insure victory, and after alluding to the fact of Douglas receiving a majority of the votes at Charleston, urged the ignoring of preju dices and unity of action North and South, pointing to the past fidelity of the Northern democracy as a guarantee for the future. Douglas Meeting at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, June 6. -An immense Democratic mass meeting was held in this city last evening, at which resolutions were adopted unanimously in favor of Senator Douglas, and denunciatory of Senator Bigler and other Democrats of a like stripe. Dur ing the evening Gov. Todd of Ohio, gave an account of the proceeding at the Charleston Convention, and Gen. Stokes, of Western Maryland, made a furious onslaught upon President Buchanan, dis daining to accept Bigler as an antagonist CoL M. Cook, of Ohio, and Messrs. Gibson and. Linn, of this State, severally spoke in a similar strain. The enthusiasm of the masses and the applause manifest ed at each repetition of the name of Mr. Douglas was at times overpowering. - Louisiana Democratic State Contention. ' Batok Rouge, La., Jane 5.
