WESTERN DEMOCRAT, CHARLOTTE, 1ST. O- CHARLOTTE. IV. C. Tuesday. Way 1. ISOO. lOil GOVERNOR, IIOIV. JOII. W. EI.I.IS. For the Senate JOHN WALKER. Esq. kti.-.iiiet n wis. For the Commons : J0UX M i01TS. . j COUNTY CONVENTION. In another column we publish the proceedings of the Mecklenburg County Convention, held for the purpose of nominating democratic candidates to represent the county in the next General Assem bly. There were 91 delegates present, represent-ioj- every District in the county except one. Lcin ly's. Capt. John Walker was nominated, unanim ously, for the Senate, every District voting for him on the first ballot. Stephen W. Davis, Esq. of Charlotte, and M:.j. J. M. Potts, of Steel Creek, were nominated for the Commons. Every man in the Convention, either as spectator or delegate, so far as we can learn, admits that the business was transacted fairly and impartially; in fact, we point to the proceedings to show the fairness and the projer man tier in which the Convention was con ducted. We presume there can be no question on thin point. Each beat or constable's district in the cou'ttv was allowed one vote the Town, compris ing two beats, was, of course, entitled to and allow ed two votes. The candidates are, too well known to make it ueccssarj for us to speak of them at length. 1 bey are intelligent, reliable gentlemen, h ive never been anything else but democrats, and ate warm sup porters of Gov. Ellis and the platform of the party. Capt. Walker has heretofore represented the coun ty in both branches of the Legislature, always with general fatislac'iou to his constituents. As an off hand debater, Capt. Walker has no superior in the State Messrs Davis and Potts are farmers, liberal, hon orable gentlemen, and deserve the united support of the democratic party, which we have no doubt they will receive. txT We are indebted 'o our friend, J. M. W. Flow, of Clear Cre k. for a "iiub of 19 sub.-ci ibers. Since the tirst of Jmu.iry last the circulation ot the Democrat has very.largrly increased. In the two counties of L'neoln and Mecklenburg alone we Lave about nine hundred .subscribers. Frost. On Thursday moniiig last, the "26th. quite a heavy frost was visible in this section though we do not think inu h dani.ige was done to vegetation. For several days the weather was cool, requiring the use of fin s and winter clothing. M& The Wilmington and Weldon Kailroad Co. bos declared a semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent. Elector. Henry W. Miller, Esq., of Kaleigh. has been appointed democratic Elector in the 4th District, in place of Paul Cameron, declined. Hon. A. XV. Venable is assistant Elector. ''For our part we do not see why the Oorernor should be so furious against the Vjikf County Winking Men's As.Micialiou, why he should --denounce them.' r object to their circulating their Address, which was written and printed and circulaied months ago. We never read it. but understand that it relates altogether to the quotion of equal taxation, without any personal allusion to Gov. Ellis. '-Upon what meat doth this o-r C-e.3r feed, that he is grown so great." that respect able citizens, working men or others, may not dare to circulate their views of public matter?, cn pain of hi. displeasure and denunciation." Finelteville Otrervr. Gov. Ellis kit a right to complain of the conduct of owe of the members of the political association at Rtleigh culled the '-Wake County Workingmeti's Asso ciation." The Address of that Association has been adopted by the Opposition party and is be'ng circula ed for the purpose of injuring Gov. Ellis and the Democratic party, and it is unfair for meu who profess to be demo crats und friend? of Gov. Ellis, to assist in circulating it. If they are opposed to Gov. Ellis' re-election let them say so opculy, and then no one can oljct to their conduct. We have heretofore said that this mis-culled 'Workinginru's Association" was gotten up by a few Raleigh politicians but few of il:e real working men bad anything to do with it and we have no doubt they are mortified and aggravated because t'e democratic party, in State Convention, did not choose to adopt their scheme. We do not deny (nor does Gov. Ellis deny) the right of the member.' of that Association to take any position they please, but let it be done openly let ni know who we have to fight against. That would be fair, and that is all we ask. We think that even the Observer will agree with us in this position. Now is the time for all true friends of Gov. Ellis to be active. Every means possible is be.ng ued by the Opposition to defeat him, and we call upon democrats everywhere to be on their guard against the schemes used ag.iintt him, no matter from w hom they emanatr. f-The Greensboro Patriot accuses democratic papers of misrepresentation, because some of them published a paragraph stating that the opposition Con vention iu the 8th District instructed Hi delegates to the Baltimore Conventiou to endorse the nominee of the Charleston Convention if be w as & nation:-.! eo:t ervutive man. The par.igiah was coptrd front an opposition paper, the Rulbe;foidfou E lqt irer, and the Patriot would do well to settle the matter with its co worker first, and not talk about democratic ti isr.p e sentations. We never published the slatemen because we believe the opposition are dtermi ed to oj pose th democratic party, no matter who its candidates are; but we think the Asheville Advocate, another opposition paper, published where the Convention was held, stated editorially that it thought the delegates to Baltimore would go for endors.ng the CharleMoi. nominee, if he was a national man. e n allude to th matter for the purpose of sliowiug that it U not dt-mocrais who are subject to the charge of niin presentation. Eablv Peas. We are indebted to our esteemed frieud. .Mrs Williamson Wallace, for a mess of Sugar Pes, the first we have seen this season. Stkawbekbies. To Miss Ka:e Caldwell, we are also indebted for the first Strawberries of the season. SwtsDLtso Agentleman has forwarded us specimens of swindling letters from Haiti more signed J.Marshall Co ' offng a prize of $3,000 upon the payment of $10 for lottery tickets. This swindle has been pretty well exposed in this section. One gentleman gravelv returned thanks to Messrs. Marshall, and authorized themto.dedurtthe$10fiom the prize and remit the balance. It u almost unnecessarv to warn the public against this trick, it is too transparent; but to prevent any person being taken in, we pronounce it a barefaced s windbag offer L)K TO tub Record. The Fayetteville Ob server copies a paragraph from our paper of last week, wherein we say that Mr Pool, when in the Legislature, voted against ad valorem and against calling a Convention to amend the Constitution. The Observer replies to it as follows: "In publishing the above, the Democrat adds that it '-resort to noabuse of Mr Poo! does not misrepresent bim.' Why, then, does not the Democrat publish the sketches of Mr Pool's speech at Gatcsviile and at Tarborough (the last Democratic.) which show very plainly that what he voted against in the Legislature was altogether different from what is now before the people, and what he is now in favor of. The ad valorem he then voted against was ad valorem on every thing but slaves the ad valorem he wants must include slaves. The Convention be voted against was a Convention on the white bast3 the Convention he advocates is a Convention on the federal basis. If the Democrat does not wish to misrepresent Mr Pool, let it give bis own statement of these facts." Certainly we do not intend or desire to misre present Mr Pk1. and our readers shall see that we do not. Neither Mr Pool nor the Observer deny the correctness of our statement, but an ex cuse is offered, viz: that "the Convention he (Mr Pool) voted against was a Convention on the white basis." Now let us see how that stands. Mr Gorreil's amendment to Mr. Bledsoe's bill was as follows: 'Mr Bledsoe's bill to .amend the Constitution, by repealing the Sid sec ion of the 4th article of the amended Constitution, being under consideration in the Senate, Mr Gorrell moved to amend by striking out all after the enacting clause, and inserting the following : That a free and open Convention of the people.be held in the city of Raleigh on the 3rd Monday of November next, the delegates in which, when duly assembled and organized, shall have the power to alter, amend and remodel the State Constitution in such maimer as shall be b-st calculated to "establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the ble.-sings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity." Mr Poo! voted against the above resolution, and there is nothing in it about the urhite basis. It w;;s to be a 'free and open convention'' free to make any alterations iu the Constitution its members intht think proper an unrestricted convent on. Nothing is said about the ichite Last's, and Mr Poo! cannot excuse his inconsistency on such a flimsy pretext as that. Neither will it do for Mr Pool to say that he voted against ad valorem it! the last Legislature bcc-iuse slaves were exempted, for it was proposed to amend the Constitution by Lrti'stitirf ni"t tmrttt st as to include slaves, and Itf (AJr J'o"t) voted ayaiiizt ihnt. So Mr P'm1 and our friends of the Observer are in a bad way generally. The Democracy Moving. We publish, to day, the proceedings of the Senatorial District Convention of Gaston, Catawba and Lincoln. It will be seen that Jasper Stowe, of Lincoln was nominated for the Senate. No better selection could have been made. It will also be seen that John F. Hoke, Esq., has been nominate ! as the democratic candidate to represent Lincoln in the House of Commons. A friend in Dallas, who attended the Lin coln Convention, writes us that the democrats of the above Counties are fully aroused and are de termined to ive Gov; Ellis a hearty support. Pool will gain nothing in that section. House Burnt. The dwelling house of Mrs Bachael Bcil, widow of Jas. II. Bell, in Deweese neighborhood in this county, was burnt on the night of the 19th April. Furniture and everything was consumed. Mrs Bell being a poor woman, the loss is quite a heavy one to her. Republican meetings at the North, we always find two resolutions at least, one opposing slavery ' and its extension and the other denouncing the democratic party. In the proceedings of opposition The National Convention of the Democratic party assembled in Charleston on Monday the 23d of April. Every District in the Union was repre sented. Hon. Francis Flournov. of Ark., was meetings at the South a resolution also denouncing chogen presi Jent Dro teaj CuUjmittee on ver. ; me democratic party is always to oe iouna. The Black Republicans denounce the democratic party because it is iu their way and prevents theni Carolina was represented bv Wm. A. Moore, and ; from consummating their infamous designs the t on tue iattt.r h 1 uri(wa manent organization was then appointed; also, a committee on credentials. On the former. North , democratic party is battling for the rights of the South, and therefore the Black Republicans de- nounce it. The Opposition party at the South i in North Carolina are also denouncing the denio- cratic party, and abusing its members without stint, j for the purpose of turning democrats out of office and putting themselves (the mongrel opposition ists) in power. Now, we appeal to every candid man to reflect and say if this is right. What have the members of the democratic taT" II the Fayetteville Observer will refer to the Democrat of last week, and to a number pub lished a few weeks since, it will see that we have published fair accounts of the discussion in the East. The account of the discussion between Gov. Ellis and Mr Pool at Elizabeth City, published by us last week, is fairer than any account ever pub lished by any opposition ptper. The Observer is not just Ced in charging that the Standard's ac counts are prepared for the West, because whatever is read in the West is also read in the East. The Standard circulates largely in the East, and the Democrat has a very fair circulation in that sec tion, to that nothing could be gained by publish ing one-sided accounts for the West. It has not been done Gov. Ellis will occupy the same posi tion in the West he does in the East. But Gov. Ellis' speech at Gatesvtlle has been misrepresented by the opposition press, and pome of these misrepresentations were pointed out by the Governor in his speech at Smithfield the other day, as will be seen by the following which we copy from an account of the discussion in the Kaieigh Press of Friday last. "Gov. Ellis said he was a western man, and op posed to ad valorem. In speaking of the disparity of the taxes paid by the east and the west: he had been misrepresented. It had been stated that he said, that the west, like the horse leech, was still crying kr mote, more. He said no such thing what he did say, was. that notwithstanding this dis parity of taxation, tbere was a demand for more, that like the horse leech, the cry was still for more. But this cry came not from the west it came from the politicians of t ho Opposition convention. The direct result of their new scheme, was to increase th's ) ropurtion of the burthens of taxes as borne by the two sections. He thought the west would be satisfied with the present order of things- Her railroads are progressing, and ought to be extended westward, until the several connexions with the Tennessee roads are made. This ought to be done as speedily as practicable, and he said it here to d y as he had said it in Currituck, where these things are not popular. They were his real senti ments, and it was right that they should know them. 1 hese misrepresentations were made in the west to effect his election, but they would have no weight. The people of the west knew him. and they knew, too, that he had fought many hard battles for their interests. He was now fighting a bittle for their best interest, as well as the best interest of all sec tions. He thought he would be able to i-how the people of the west, when he met them, that it is l etter for them to rest quiet under the present or der of things." How many of the opposition papers will copy the above and place Gov. Ellis in a correct posi tion before their readers ? We shall see. On -Tuesday the committee on organization, reported for President, Hon. Caleb Cusoing, of Massachusetts, with one vice-President and Secre tary from each State. Hon. Bedford Brown was the Vice-President from N. C., and L. W. Hum phrey, the Secretary. The P resident, on taking the Chiir, addressed the Convention as follow?: Gentlemen of the Convention: I respect fully tender to vou the most earnest expressions of pirty in North Carolina done to merit so much j profound gratitude for the honor which you have abuse from men who were first federalists, then j th'3 day done nie in appointing me to preside over ..... ,. . , your deliberations, it is. however, a responsible whig-, then know-nothings, and are now .imply ! duly iuiposed tuuch mora thin a hgh bJor eon. oppositionists?

Resolved, That one of the necessities of the age, in a military, commercial and postal point of view, is speedy communication between the Atlantic and Pa cific States; and the Democratic patty pledge such 'Constitutional Government nidjs will insure the con 1 strnction of a railroad to the Pacific coast at the ear- , liest practicable period. j 4. Krtolied, That we are in favor of the acquisition : of the Island of Cuba, on such terms as shall be hon orable to ourselves and just to Spain. LATEST Up to Sunday night we received no news of the adoption of a Platform. We learned from a passen ger that it was voted on, perhaps, on Saturday. Hon. W. W. Avery of N. C, chairman of the Com mittee, made an able speech in support of the ma jority report. The members of the committee sub mitting the minority report are from Maine, New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Vermont, RhrnJe Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,. Wisconsin and Iowa. The South stands united for the majority report. It was thought that the previous question would be ordered on Saturday, and the question about a platform settled. If so, we shall probably receive prospered abundantly under democratic rule no public officer in North Carolina has proven dis honest or unfaithful to his trust, and certainly there is no good cause for the virulence and bitter ness which is now brought to bear against the de mocracy by opposition presses and speakers.

It is not his strength but yours your intelligence, your sense of order, your instincts of self-respect. I rely, gentlemen, confidently upon you, not upon myself, for the prompt and parliamentary despatch of the business of this Convention.

More pay is demanded, w hich demand the Department has not granted, hence the re fusal to carry the mails. This will cause great in convenience to the public, especially the business por tion; and w hat is to be done, we can't tell. The roads have a right of course, to ask more pay; but whether tbey have a right, or are justified and cicusnb'e for causing so mueh inconvenience by stopping the mails, is a question about which 'there will be a difference of opinion. Certainly it should not be in the power of Kailroad Presidents to slop the mails whenever they please. honor to the State and a las tilt"; monument to the I outjosts of the Constitution.

Opposed to us are those who laber to overthrow the Constitution, under the false and ty. For the information of those of our readers who have never visited the Institution we will give a hurried description .of its interior. We were politely shown, by the Superintendent, Dr. Fisher, through the whole building, and were forcibly struck with the remarkable cleanliness which met us at every turn throughout the entire Institution. This, together with the freedom from all offensive odors, speaks well for the management insidious pretence of supporting it; those who are aiding to produce in this country a permanent sectional conspiracy a permanent, a truirorous sectional conspiracy of one-half of the Stares of the Union against the other half those who, impelled by a stupid and half insane spirit of taction and fanaticism, would hurry our land on to revolution and civil war.

One and a quarter columns is devoted to Mr Pool, while Gov. Ellis has the benefit of only about six inches space I ! It is time for opposition prints to quit talking about nnfair-as. partial insanity or convalescence require easy men tal exercise. These broad aisles extend the entire length of each wing first, second and third floors with apartments for the inmates arranged on each side, properly furnished. The main or centre portion of the building is occupied by the Super intendent and family, and divides equally the two great wings, which are occupied, respectively, the western by the males and the eastern by the fe males. The inmates are classified according to their several conditions, and occupy different wards, so that those who are advancing in restoration to health may not be disturbed those who are more radically insane are separated by the dining rooms, which are loca ted in the central portion of each wing. These rooms arc well-arranged, and kept in nice and per fect order: the food being supplied to each by means of a du.sb-waiter, ascending by pulleys and weights from below directly into each dining room. The chapel is a neat room, with pews capable we suppose of seating one hundred and fifty per sons comfortably. Here the improved class of in mates are occasionably assembled to hear preach ing. One of their number has heretofore occupied the post of clerk, or tune-raiser; but having on a recent occasion raised a tune which he manufac tured as he proceeded, and which no one but him self could sing, he was deposed from office. The kitchen is as nice and clean as a dining room the furnaces, boilers, bakers, and 6teamers, executing their work decently ' and in order. It was near, the dining hour when we reached this department, and the well-cooked appearance of the fowls and other meats, and the pleasant odor arising from soups, baked bread, etc., and especially the cleanliness of the room, only served to sharpen our appetite. Dr. Fisher' plan for watering the building is both simple and sure. In the fourth story there are two large tanks, into which the water is pumped by an engine placed at some distance from the building. From these tanks pipes proceed to eve ry part of the Institution with fresh water. A Iare tank is also placed below, through which a steam-pipe passes, and the warm water is forced up by an engine into every ward. These pipes, carry ing cold and warm water, ramify the entire edifice, and furnish water for every purpose except drink ing. The feelings of one who passes through the dif ferent wards and looks upon the poor, unfortunate creatures, some of whom look pitiful in the ex treme, cannot be described. Dr. Fisher takes them by the hand, and the smiles which light up their faces tells plainly of the soothing influence of his kind words. We have no doubt but there are those in our State now who have been so unfortunate as to lose their reason, and whoe over-anxious friends de tain them at home from doubts of their safety in this Institution. To such friends we would say, that, in our opinion, they are taking the responsi bility of neglecting and refusing the best and most approved means of restoring the insane to soundness. tiuue to repose with undoubtiug faith in the good Providence of Almighty God. After considerable discussion, the rules of form er Conventions were adopted, and the following gentlemen were appointed a Committee to draft resolutions: Amos M Roberts, Maine; W Burns, New Hampshire; E M Brown, Vermont; Henj F Butler, Massachusetts; C S Bradley, Rhode Island; A G Hazard, Connecticut; Edwii Croswell, New York; Benj Williamson, New Jersey; H B Wright, Pennsylvania; Jas A B.iyard, Delaware; Bradly S Johnson, Maryland, James Barbour, Virginia; W W Avery, North Carolina; John S Preston.

A resolution was adopted restricting speakers to 15 minutes on all subjects except on the platform. The report of the committee on credentials, ad mitting the New Y'ork delegation headed by Dean Richmond, and the Illinois delegation headed by W. A Richardson, was received and adopted. This decision excluded Mayor Wood and his dele gation. The death of Hon John S. Robinson, one of the delegates from the State of Vermont, was announced, and the Convention adjourned till Thursday morning. Gov. Robinson died suddenly at the Mills House, of apoplexy. THE PLATPOBM. The Charleston Mercury says that the Committee on the Platform, at their session, on Thursday evening, agreed upon the following reports: MAJORITY REPORT. Resolved, That the platform adopted at Cincinnati be approved, with the following resolutions: littolced, That the National Democracy of the United States, hold these cardinal principles on the subject of slavery iu the Territories: 1. That Congress has no power to abolish slavery in the Territories. 2. That the Territorial Legislature has no power o aboPsb slavery in the Territories, nor to prohibit the introduction of slaves therein, nor to exclude slavery therefrom; nor any power to destroy or impair th right of property in slaves by any legislation whatever. Uetolved, That it is the duty of the Federal Govern ment to protect, when necessary, the rights of persons and property on the hih seas, in the Territories, or wherever the constitutional authority extends. MINORITY REPORT. Ruolved, That we, the Democracy of the Union, in convention assembled, hereby declare our affirmance of the Democratic resolutions, nnanimously adopted and declared, as a platform of principles, at Cincinnati, in the year 1856; believing that Democratic principles are unchangeable in their nature, when applied to the same subjeet matter; and w e recommend, as the only farther resolutions, as follows: 1. Resolved, That all qnestions in regard to the rights of property, whether in States or Territories, are judi cial in their character; and the Democratic party is pledged to abide by, and faithfully carry out, such de terminations of these questions, as have been, or may be, made by the Supreme Court of the United States. 2.

Sam Houston was always in favor of Conventions as long as he thought they would promote aim, but as soon as be found out he coald impose on them bo longer, it Joined th Know Xothmgs, and would now, no doubt, like very much to get a nomination from the opposition party.
