This was the very position now assumed by the Plack llepublicans. They insint this line, recently abrogated,' should bo restored, or, failing 111 this, "the I'nion miL-lit slide." Andrew Jackson Pon ebon. Chief Justine Sharkey, of Misis!ppi. and others, had repudiated the action of the Nashville Convention and left it They would not sanction the doctrine of accession. In the meantime the cleii.euts of discord were at work. The Union tottered to its base. Fillmore and the other noble spirits! co-operating vwlu him, ami led on by the venerable Clav, set to work to still the storm ; and in a short time the tempest was lulled, agitation ceased, the Compromise j measures being iu their very nature and ! in the language of Mr. Fillmore, a final and : complete settlement of the dangerous ques- tions they embraced were passed, and qui et rested upon the land. The course of Mr.' Fillmore had been approved by both the ' political parties they had felt it necessary in their respective platforms, to carry out' the idea suggested by him, to enforce the, 'principle adopted by him, of declaring -the i Compromise measures a finality, designed 1 to check sectional agitation. Vet, the re-1 pose of the country was broken suddenl- J and decisively, and it was done by the Oo vernor'a political friends. President Pierce and heuator Po'iglas had done it. 1 he Kansas-Nebraska bill opened afresh all the slui ces of agitation, and now we behold an a larming state of excitement dangerous to the perpetuity of the L'niou. While Mr. Fill more bad abstained from appointing free soilers to office, Mr. Pierce had pursued the opposite policy, lie had turned out Hron sou & Co. for refusing to appoint them. Not only this, but he had reversed the idea of I appointing any Union men to office, and i had chosen seces-ioiiists. He Lad selected ! Mr. Dobbin (for whom he, Mr. ti., had aj high personal regard.) and Jefferson Pavis, the leader of the ultra Southern sentiment in Mississippi. In our Legislature, Mr. Pob-! bin had introduced a secession resolution,! but the independent Democrats had united with the Whis and had killed it. And now, turning to l.ov. Uragg Mr. Gilmer ask-1 ed Litis bis views on the doctrine of seees- sion, whether be would introduce secession : into North Carolina, whether he justified Mr Dobbin, &e., &c.T As showing the ten-' dcucy of Mr. Pierce's appointments to assist freeseilism, Mr. G. alluded among others to that of Hrown of Indiana, who in return for votes for Speaker of the House of Kepresen- , tatives, pledged the auoli'ionists a fair show-: ing in the appointment of the committees ; yet this man who left Congress disgraced had been appointed by the President to an important aud lucrative office. So that the whole action of the President and of the Democratic, party Lad been to uusettle all that Mr. Fillmore had accomplished, and to re-open that sectional agitation whieh be had so successfully quieted. As for himself, had Le, Mr. G , been in Congress, be should have voted against the Kansas-Nebraska bill, one of the chief causes of the excite ment, because the Clavton amendment had been stricken out; yet, when in return for this candor he rtshs hi" ivmooratio ouoipi.. ilor how he would have voted, Gov. Uragg gives him no reply, but quotes from Senator Padger and others on the subject. Mr. (iil mer read an eloquent tribute from Gen. Cas to .Millard Fillmore, aud also the patriotic' speech of the latter recently delivered nt Albany. t The dangers resulting from excessive em igration and the influx of foreign paupers and criminals to our shores were vividly portrayed by Mr. Gilmer. The Democrat ic party bad been foremost iu offering ex traordinary inducements to aliens to emi grate to our shores. During the last five years over two millions of foreigners had come to this country ; and at this rate, if the country was to be made the receptacle of the outpourings ot the crime ard pauper-1 ism of the world, what would become of it? He produced a number nf statistics on this In ad. There was dancer especially to the South in all this for the great bulk of thi class of population were opposed to our institutions were abolitionists at heart. The American party would remedy this e vil. It held that citizenship should uot be ' made too cheap. It sought to throw grea ter safeguards around it, aud to extend the time of probatiou before foreigners could take upon themselves the title of "Ameri can eiiizen." The extravagr.nee of the Administration wis next dwelt upon. Former Administra tions had been burled from power on the charge of extravagance, when their expen ses had not reached one-fourth of that now in power. In a time of peace the cost of administering the government was seventy millions of dollars, from which deduct the payment on account of the public debt, and the sum of sixtv millions was left. The ne cessity for economy in this matter was man ifest." So, too, with the Tariff. Our Dem ocratic fiiends werp loudly opposed to a Tariff, yet they bad pot reduced the one now in operation which raises over twenty millions extra every year. The portion of the tax paid by North Carolina wa, in round numbers, about two million. Could this annual tax be saved to. her in less than thirtv vear' she would be the proudest statu iu the Union. ' Mr. Gilmer next turned hi nt'ention to the platform of the Loeokvo party, and dis. cussed some of it principal features, lie alluded to the little branch road from the Atlantic to the Pacific, to cot about ?:loO,. : lliin.iiOO, and had endeavored, be said, to obtain from Gov, Hragg bis ideas on the project, but his answers were by no means satisfactory. In connection with the plat-, foiui. ho alluded to Mr. Huchanan. and ex amined a little into the by genes of that gen tleman, lie read an extract from one of his letters highly complimentary to Mr. Fill-' mote, and dwelt with much power upon the; letter to Mr. Sandford, written by Mr. Pu- ' rhansn so late as 1-s H, and which advocates j a principle more dangerous than squatter ; sovcrcL-nty, viz: that Congress possesses, the power (sovereign and exclusive) to le. ! gislate upon the subject of slavery in the territories. ' Tins is the doctrine urged by Mr. 7m-li- j anan in his S.nidford letter, and this is tho doctrine of the -ittra-ablitionists such as! Seward, Sumfr, Hale, Giddtngs Co. Mr. Gilmer dwelt upon this with crushing force, and portrayed the position of Mr. Piiehanan with mo-t telling effect. There were numberless other topics dis. cussed. Mr. Gilmer closed, after speaking two hours, during which he Lad been loud ly applauded, and gave raj t Gov. Bragg, who fommeueed to- speak in an eeited manner. In opening he returned thanks for the courtesy he had every w hem received dur ing the canvass. This was expecud. As the Kxecutive of the Stale it was due him. II also felt an interest in Wilmington, (ra ther a late interest,) and had signed a me morial in favor of the improvement of our bar. He denied the assertion of Mr. t iil mer that he opposed Flee .Sulli'.ige iu 1 t, and demanded the authority for the charge. Not one man could be produced to substan tiate it, he said. Mr. (iilmer ro-se and said that lm, Gov. lb a'L', bad voted in 1 " for th..- Democratic candidate fr the Legi-l i lure iu Northampton county, and they had opposed Free Suffrage the inference wai plain, that he had opposed it likewise . Gov. 1. said that he had told one of the candi dates on bis return from the Legislature, that he had cast a wrong vote. He, Gov. H , was in favor of Free Suffrage, bad recom mended it would recommend it again. On the subject of Internal Improvements, he had but precious little to say. It was amusing to see how glibly and expeditious ly be glided away ft.oiti this, to him, annoy ing subject. It wa strange, indeed, to see him, an old, hide-hound opponent of the doc trine, standing up before the people who l id first given direction to the popular move ment on this subject, and uttering a few faint words of cheer, lie evidently felt his anom alous position. Gov. Ji. suid that he had been misrepresented on this subject. Since his election as Governor he had n commen ded liberal aid to railro.nl enterprises, and he had recommended the extension of the North Carolina road cast and west. This was about all he .-aid ou Iuternal Improve ments. He said that the expenses of the Govern ment were not seventy millions as had been stated by Mr. (iilmer it was sixty-six mil lions from which deduct payment 011 ac count of the public debt, and it left but fifty-six millions. This was caused bv the ex tent of our possessions Indian ars Pub lic Buildings, iV.c, c. Mr. Gilmer had spokcu of economy and of Fillmore's model administration ; but there had been uo Galphiuisiiig or Gardtter isiug during Mr. Pierce's term of service. Gov. Drags; spoke at some length concern ing these transactions and was exceedingly disingenuous and di inagogical. He cat the blame of these transactions on Fillmore's administration, wheu the f ict is theGulpbin claim was passed by a Drmitcnit'c Congress, approved by a Jhiiiixruir President, Mr. Poik, and the principal of the claim was paid by a l)t nmci ulic Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. 1!. J. Walker. .Mr. Meredith, lien. Taylor's Secretary of ttt" Treasury, paid I lie iiitrrcst on the claim, fir-t tuning tl.o piio. of .1.. -.lr.iy' Ciui.ornl tin.! Mr. W alker his predecessor said that he would have done the same thing. The whole Galphin concern was fixed during the adininisttatioiis of Polk and Taylor. Fill more had nothing to do with it. As regards Coruin's connection w ith the Gardiner claim, Gov. PragL' forgot to state that an iuvesti gatimi Congressional Committee, compose,, of two Democrat and "me Whig, had repor ted, exonerating l.itn from all blame, lie forgot, also, to allude t7 the tremendous de falcations during VarJ Huron's administra tion, amounting in tl.e agL-reate to millions of dollars stolen from the public treasury, and also to say that this same Martin Van liurcn, the head of the frecsoilers, is now working for hi friend Puchanaii. Mr. Uragg alluded to the question of Mr. Gilmer, whether he approved tho course of Mr. Dobbin iu the Legislature of this Stale in advocating the secession resolutions, nf ter both parties had agreed that the Com promise measures should be considered tt fi nal settlement of the slavery question ! lle said that under Certain circumstance he w iu favor of the principles avowed in those resolutions. Put in vain did Mr. Gil lite r insist on a direct answer to hi ipi-stioii the Governor could not be induced to re spond, but said he did not recollect under what circumstances those resolutions were introduced. Mr. Gi'.mer, iu his rejoinder, charged Mr. Prago, that he refused, while a member of the Legislature, to vote for a bill to relit vc th.' Weldon ami lolei-h railroad, tln-y not being able to meet a bound of f.Ml.dtul en dorsed by the State, unless it w -s iu-ertod in the preamble of the bill that ihe Mate was under jimttst ; thereby dishonoring old North Carolina before the world. The Gov ernor did not deny this charge, but said hi object was only to gain votes for the bill. K.-tthcr a lame rea-on we thought, and so did the crowd, judging from the way in which it was said and received. It wa also charged on Mr. Prajg that he rcpoitod and voted ugaint a bill allowing mechanics a lien on buildings erected by thini on lands of persons who fail be lore the completion of the work. To this he said he was chairman of the Judiciary Commit tee, and was so instructed to report, but did not deny to the people that In- was opp.ised to the bill. Aud a to his voting agnin-t the bill allow iti2 old gentlemen over sixty years of a;e t.v be excu-ed from sorting on juries, hi 1 aid not a word. Gov. Prai; spoke at great length mi Na tional po'itie. clearly showing that he had been an attentive reader of Cliuguiati' let ters, the Standard, and other L.-eofoeo pi pers ; but the ..'round he occupied w as so ex tensive and has been o thoroughly travelled over before as ti justify omi-ion here, lie said, however, that Fillmore was pppo-ed to the Fugitive Slave Law, which romsirkahic assertion sounded tran;ely enough alter lo approval of the measure and his earnest el foi ts to execute it. On the whole wo were disappointed in Governor Hragg. lle lo-t his temper sev eral times, was abruvt and rude. II ; seem ed to like the expression " in tl.e name of Gol," for be used it frequently, lie is a fluent speaker, but there is an air of insin cerity about hint which cause you to ilis. trust h'.ui.

Such a lengthened sittiti', of course, gave ample opportunities for di-cussion, and we observe that among others Senator Heid of our State participated. He replied to that part of Mr. Seward's rt-marka in opposition to sla : very, saying that whenever the Northern States became prepared to endorse such sen timents the Union ranti'.t last an hoar lon ger. If they dc-ire lo preserve the Un ion, they mu-t meet the question in the spi rit of our revolutionary fathers. He asked Mr. WiUoii whether he would, under any cit cuitistatices, vote for the admission of a State the ('"ttstitutiou of which might tole rate slavery 1 1 Mr. Wilson replied that be never would. j Mr. Pieid said that the senator would vi olate every prini-'ple of the Constitution of the Unite.) Stales and free government, and would ak the South fo bu bound by the con stitution, when be repudiates and spurns it. Mr. Wilson, in the course of his reply, said he deprecated nil this talk about the di.s-G'utioii of the Union. The slave power bad governed it tor more thau half a ccu tury, and might gove.ru it for a century to cuiie. Put he intended to reutaiu iu the Union as long as he lived. I Several aim-lid nielits comparatively unim portant were adopted and others rejected. The bill was then passed as amended yea .'( 1, nays 1 2 1 The following is the snlotancc of the till. It provides for the appointment of five com missioners, to be .-elected from different sec tions of the Union, t J represent fairly all political panics. They shall take a census) of r-.H the U gut voles i:i the territory, and make a fair a; portioiiiiiei.t of delegates to be I'leoted in each county to assemble and make a constitution and State government. When the apportionment shall have been thus made, the commissioners are to remain in session every day, exccplinu Sunday, at places most convenient to the inhabitants of the Territory, to hear all complaint, exam ine witnesses, a ud correct all errors in the said li-t of voters, which shall be previously prin ted and circulated thro' the Territory, and posted in at b ast three of the most public places in each voting precinct iu each county. ; So soon as nil errors shall have thus been corrected in said lists, the commissioners! are required to cause li-t of the legal vo ter to be printed, and copies furnished to each judge of election, to be put up at the places of votinir, and circulated throughout O v . 1 t.'..U.j'. lllCllIlt"'.

The election fir delegates to take lace on the day of the Presidential elec tion, and the cottveti'.'toii to a-setnble on the fir-t Mot, lay in December, to decide, first . whether it he t xpedii nt for Kansas t0 come into the Union ut that tiuie, and. if so de cided, proceed to form a constitution and State eoecriruei t, whieh shall be republi can in torn., and admitted on an equal foot ing with the original States. The bill provides that no 1 tw shall be of force or enforced in the Territory, infring ing the liberty of speech, or the liberty of tho press, or the riglitof the people to bear arms, Alo. fir puni-hing illegal vot ing, or fraud, or violence at the election, and to use the military force for that purpose. The main point is, "the present inhabitants sin!! decide a'l points in di-putein Kansas, at a fair election, without fraud or violence, or any other improper influence." All male w bite inhabitants over the age of twenty-one years to be allowed to vote, if residing in the county and Territory three months prc- ! vious to the day of election, and no other test is to be required ; no oath to support the fugitive slave law or any other law, uor any other condition whatsoever. I The Hou-e passed a Kansa bill with the IToptko constitution, and when taken up in the Senate-, it was amended by substituting the S-Miate fir the House bill. j CO Keep it before tin- people, that Gov. ; I'.ragj; is, playing the demagogue worse and .'worse everyday.
