We subjoin the proceedings of body, which met in this City tn Monday lasi; and we are firmly f:rsi;aded that they will be pro active of benefit ul results. The "umber of Presses represented not so great as we had rea S0l to anticipate, but the letters laid before the Convention evi denced the sincere regret enter tained by several of the Corps, on account of their inability to attend. There are 25 Presses in the Stale, and 13 were represented leaving, f course, twelve establishments Represented. This, however, offer but little obstacle to the J-'n purposes of the Convention. "eir assent to the agreements lllered into can be easily obtained ? l''e Corresponding Commit kvh provicted they meet the ap- ijoanon of the absent Presses. this will be tbe case, we have :ut liule doubt, and that, hence- H-P11' Nrl!l Car0,i,,a PreSS present an example worthy the 'nation of the fraternity through 0u,,,ie Union. ?l"illistanding the difl-rence llcl existed between the mem trs political sentiment, the jjtest harmony prevailed in their eiratio,5.

Invention of edi- p' Ccrlmg to previous notice, a ":iVt"'u of the Editors of North Carolina assembled at ihe Court House in the City 0j Kaleigh, mi Wednesday, U,e first lay of November, iust. for the purpose of adopting measures for the benefit of tbe who!-; fraternity. The following Presses were represented, viz: the Standard, Star and Register, of Raleigh; the Recorder, Hillsborough; the Wes tern Carolinian and Carolina Watchman, Salisbury; Southern Citizen, Ashborough; Spectator, Newbern; Observer, Fayetteville; 'Telescope, Greensboro'; Free Press, Tarboro'; Journal, Char lotte; and Spei tator, Milton.

Alter a free iulerrhange of opin- j i. in, leiauve to tiie apnroni mte matters for the consideration of j the .Convention, on motion of Mr. I tl Lemay, a Committee, consisting ol Messrs. Gales, Loring and Hampton, were appointed, with instructions to embody in a Pre amble and Uesolutions, the views of the Convention, and report the same to the Convention, to-morrow. On motion of Mr. Swaim, the Convention adjourned until to morrow, 10 o'clock. Thursday 10 o'clock. The Convention re-assembled, when Mr. Gales, from the Com mittee, yesterday appointed, made the following Report : Of all the advantages which have resulted lioni what are called modern discoveries, it is now uni versal!)' admitted that not one has produced so much benefit to so ciety, as tbe Art of Printing. Its prodigioas t licet, mot only in our own country, but throughout the woi !J, is beyond estimation., ,Let political theorists argue as they may let their wire draw n specu- Idliuns trace relations between j things remote, aul connect them j by chains too subtle for the eye of !y chains loo subtle lor t lie ev common sense let them account ; Laws. for the diffusive range of popular j 2.

This conclusion results from the reflection ofa moment. What was ihe moral condition of man, al the epoch of the discovery of the Art of Printiua? Monkish su- norctiimn Ii i . n it I i k p a ti Iiw ti b ii s o f night upon him. Kings ruled by into the columns of the public direct permission of Heaven. The Journals of this State, otherwise thunders of the Vatican spread ; than as an Advertisement, and consternation through entire that double the ordinary rates be kingdoms. It was the press that charged for any such Advertise dissolved the spell. This was the mei.t. And, further, that in no great light that burst upon ihe instance, w ill we insert an Adver world and dispelled its more than tisemeul of a husband against bis midnight darkness.

It stripped tyranny of its mask, and placed power and right in happy counterpoise. It dis seminated those immutable princi ples, which leach us that ihe end of all Governments must be the happiness of man. Such was the Press; but the fact is not to be concealed, that its present condition . is far beneath what it should be, whilst the pro fits and character to be acquired by its conductors, are far from being commensurate with ihe be nefits it has, and is still conferring upou society at large- lsiead of being the luminary of truth and intelligence, it has been unfortu nately converted, in too many in stances, into a vehicle of ribaldry and personal defamation. In the nolitical contest, instead of candid and conscientious approval condemnation of measures, it has drawn forth from private life the or vernal errors of men, and, exag gerating an hundred-fold, has held them up to the public contempt and ridicule. Your Committee are, however, gratified by the re flection that the Press of North Carolina is as little obnoxious to these strictures as that of any other State in the Union, liul we have all occasionally gone astray; and to elevate the character of the Press, its conductors must careful ly guard against those departures from n correct source, which have so great a tendency to impair its usefulness.

Kesolved, 'That it should be the pride, as it is the duty, of those to whom is confided the con trol of a free Press, so to con duct ii, that whilst, on the one hand, its whole energies shall be brought to bear upon public wrongs, the greatest care should be exercised, that, in no case, shall it violate the sanctity of private life. To this end, Editors should carefully abstain in tiiei. discus sions, from all personalities and i-t!ecf?rous language. They should compel Correspondents, in their healed controversies, to re spect the character of the Press and the community, or to find the means of publication elsewhere; and, in a word, they should endea vor to make the Press, what it ought to be, the advocate of mo rality, rational liberty and social Order the promoter of Arts, Sci ence and Industry and last, though not least, the incorruptible champion of our Constitution and Convenliou, to advance the inter- jest of all the Editorial fraternity ' throughout the Slate, and that we ' pledge otit selve to use our en- deavors for that object, and to cultivate the good will and kind feelings of our brethren. 3.

Ut'pctrjure of tha Indians. All ihe Indians in the city (except the W'mnebagoes) went by the cars to B.iltimore on Sunday evening. They were accompanied by their respective agents and interpreters. We understand that they are going to visit the Northern and Eastern cities. An immense concourse of pc.iple assembled near the Rail Road Depot to witness the depar ture of these aboriginal visiters. Iveokuck, Black Hawk, and his son, were the objects of particular curiosity. Nat. Int. Important Decisions The last Lexington (Va.) Gazette slates, lhat at the lale term of the Circuit Superior Court of Rockbridge, Judge Thompson decided that the entry of a fictiiious credit on a claim, for the purpose of reducing it within a magistrate's jurisdic tion, is illegal, and that writs of prohibition will be gra iled in all such cases, on application to a superior court. The. Judge also decided that it is illegal lo cut up a large claim into smaller ones, for the like purpose. New Inventions. We have seen shin-piasters mounted on various a r I i c I eStxr 7 r e se r v a iTarrt hat really are a sin to Mose." Onewas glued upou a shingle, having a handle some nine inches long, for the convenience of carrying. Another was pasted upon calfskin, and might bid defiance to wear, tear, and hail storms! A third was stuck upon the fleshy side of a piece of bear-skin, with the long black hair outside truly a pretty pocket-piece for a belle's reticule or a perfumed beau's purse ! Upon the back of a city corpo ration ticket, a few days since, we saw the following "Hey diddle diddle, Nicholas Biddle, I'm your shin plaster, Through joy and disaster. We're just like your principles, Paper invincible ; So to save us, dear Nicholas, Kcdcem us, then pickle us!" Eastern Argus. Charleston Cincinnati and Rail Road. The meeting of the; stockholders and directors of this i company, was held al r lat ttotu; in this Stale on the 15;h inst. It is represented to have been ani mated with the best spirit, and lhat no idea was entertained of aban doning the work. A commitiee was appointed to negotiate for the purchase of the Charleston and Hamburg Rail Road; for each share of which they are expected to give $125. the sellers to take share for share in the new compa ny. 'The whole route has not been fully determined on. But the fol lowing poinls have been selected, viz : Columbia, the valley of the French Broad, Butt Mountain Gap, and Knoxville. The question of accepting the jrranl ol banking privileges by North Carolina, was not decided, but left with the Directors, because of its being coupled with the con dition lhat the road shall run through Rutherford county. No doubt is entertained that il will lake lhat route, because it is the best, but it was not deemed advi sable to commit the company until it is ascertained w hether banking privileges will be granted by the other Slates. Committees were appointed to solicit pecuniary aid from North Carolina. Gen. Hayne was re-elected President, and his salarj' fixed at $G,000, but he refused to receive more than $4,000. Maj. McNeill w as re-appointed Chief Engineer, with a salary of $8,000, and 2,- 000 dollars for travelling expen ses. Fay. Obs.

Piclon gaiio d the first heal: time? minutes 44 seconds; Lady CJifden the second, in 7 min utes 425 seconds; having first en tered r.t the heat Lady Clilden the third heat, in 7 minutes 564 seconds. The aggregate lime of the three heats w as 23 minutes 24 seconds; being 20 seconds lets than that of the great race between Eclipse and Henry; and conse quently the swiftest race molded in our sporting annals. Nat. Gaz. At a sale ol cattle belonging to the Ohio Company, ht Id at Chilli eothe, on the 28th nil. two bulls were sold at 2,500 each, and others fiom 700 down to $525. A cow sold for $1300, another for $1220, one for Si 450, one for $1200, one for $1015, and others from Sl875 down lo $G!0 each. Elder John Leland. We ex tract from the Ballston Spa Re publican, ibe following just and interesting notice of this patriarch of democracy : Elder John Leland of Che shire, Massachusetts, has been in this vicinity for some days past, and preached in the Raptisi church in this village,' on Sunday, to a crowded and attentive auditory. Elder Leland was a soldier and a minister of the Revolution. He was, loo, one of ihe democrats who aided in the election of Thomas Jefferson, and' enjoyed, in an eminent degree, the confi dence of that illustrious man. The mammoth cheese, made by the peojtle of Cheshire, lor Mr. Jefferson, was taken to Washing- j ton, and presented by Elder Le 1 laud. His sacred calling has j never prevented him from taking j an active part in political affairs. Imbibing his principles in the j school of the Revolution, he has - aM1t considered it a dutv to promulgate and defend the great doctrines of the democratic party. ju J82g ,e ttrole soine admirable papers in favor of the election of Andrew Jackson, which contribu ted much to the success of that noble old man. His letters against the Bank of the United Stales in 1S32 and '34, were convincing, powerful, and eloquent. Though now 83 years of age, his step is firm, his voice good, his mind seemingly unimpaired. May he be permitted to - live many 3 ears in the enjoyment of that liberty for the attainment and preservation of which he has done so much. Gazette. Rotts in Horses. Bangor, Maine paper says on the authority of a farmer near lhat town, lhat Sage Tea is an infallible remedy for Rons in Horses. Il relieves them in a few minutes. Cramp. Warm water, sweet ened" wiih molasses, or coarse brown sugar, taken freely, will often remove cramp in the stom ach, when opium and other power ful medicines have failed. N. r. Star. An eminent modern writer beautifully fays, the foundation of domestic happiness is faith in the viriue of woman; the foundation of political happiness is confidence in the integrity of man; and ihe foun dation of all happiness, temporal and eternal, is reliance 011 the giodness of God. i
