Thursday, June 22,1854. FOR GOVERNOR, THOMAS BRAGG, !0F NORTHAMPTON COUNTY. f A CONFLICT OF VIEWS. . Tlicre U probably no 'other part of the U. States vrhere the idea prevails that'there is such a thing as a National Whig party, ex cept in North Carolina. The conduct of the Nortliern Whig party for years past has been full of indications of settled hostility to. the institutions and people of the South. Theii wilfal disregard of their constitutional obliga tions when they voted pgair.st the Fugitm Slare law drove oil numbers of their south em friends in other States from their support., Vet j the Whig leaders of North Carolina, Stanly, Dockery, Kerr, ire, still kept up their political connection -vith there men and fought under the same flag for Gen. Scott in 1852. Kerr was beaten for Governor went to Congress, and since his soiourn there has learned so much cf the raean aixmliotifctti o his Northern friends that we understand he . now denounces them as openly and as bitterly as Toombs, Clingman, or any of that distin guished body of indeendent Southern men who arc now stigmatised by the Federal press as ruiirgades and traitors. But a-few weeks since the whqle body of the Northern Whig -party voted without single exception against the Nebraska bill - a bill simrdy declariucr that the men of-the South' ourht to . have " cnual riirhts with the men or the Aorlli in the lerntonos oi the United States! Will it bo belicveJ? The Whig party in North Carolina sustains and justifies this vote of their Abolition ajlies and friends at thc North. Two Whiz . members from this State voted - with these Abolition Whigs of the North nga:nt the bill. The Wli presses throughout the Sttc indirectly condemn the bill bv declarinc t useless and of no practical value to the South, and justify their party friends for voting gainst it. Their prominent men, wio arc now engaged in thi that the fear of popular 'eotidetnr.alion is all that restrains their candidates from coming out J in open opjosition to it, h iMr.iHtHaryei lKvaen, i aiisimry, a .Mas jchuseits Yankee originally, we believe, and A?nc of the.Ti gutis of the Vhig party in thistate, declared not long ago in a public speech to a A lnr meeting in S.Iislurv, that he was and a!wavs had been Qkposed to the Nebraska bill. Such n declaration from such a source is not. at all remarkable. What nrincirdes the FedenilWhis of this State . , .. . Idra Ift, if tln-y had their proper geographi Cal pomon, would fall on thcfcthcr side of Masous it Dixon s line! it is natural enough, then, that their leading men, who give lorth flnthnritfttive expositions of their creed, should come from the same section, Noldoubt Mr. Bovdcnand his allies among the leaders of this party joined in the traitor ous wish of Greeley that the. Capitol should be burnt or fall in ruins on the heads of mem bers of Congress, rather than this iniquitous measure, the- Nebraska bill, should have pass ed. I ' ; ." ' XrEngnd and France hare demanded of Spain twenty four,, thousand men for the occupation of Greece and of Palestine. Spain refuse unconditionally. '' ' ' . j3fThe Cholera is raging in j Cincinnati. Many cases have proved fatal. ' Beware. Miss Mary Zollars, in Carrolton, Ohio, touched her tongue out of curiosity, to a particle of strychnine, on the 2d of May, and died in' fifteen minutes. Tiixi Cost. It is now said that the expen ses incurred in the Boston fugitive slave case will exceed $50,000.

'- ;-. i 4 -Mk w m tn ASHEVILIiE, K". C, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1854. ? - From the Mobile Morning News. - r i , II uir to be j Ileal I h y 1 : It was well said, by one who had thorough ly studied the subject, that the highest ambi tion of an ancient Greek twas to bo healthy, beautiful and rich. We cannot help thinking, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, -that the old Athenians; in this respect,1were wiser than ourselves. Much as we boast of our, wonderful intelligence, we have not yet practically attain ed to a method of life so comprehensive as that pursued, riot only, byj the philosophers, but by the men of fashion" about town" in Africa and the Peloponesus. They placed health first, and-monev making last, while we invert this order. .Yet they were Pagans, and5 we Christians Surely. wo should cry ushamert to ourselves.' 1 ; - In reality, thc two principal objects sought by the ancient Greek, health and beauty, were but one and the same., j For beauty cannot exist without 'health. The man who is con stantly confined at tho 'counting desk, soon acquires , an habitual stoop;' the one who. de votes his "whole soul td money-making be comes wrinkled before his time. On the con trary, he who indulges in proper exercise and recreation, as, for example, a well-to-do farmer in healthy districts, carries an erect : frame to the verge of seventy, and has a ruddy, cheek even when aU octogenariani The first by neglecting-the laws of nature, not only des troys his own manly bearing, but transmits a puny form and weakly constitution to his children. The last perpetuates a race bf hardy sons and majestic daughters. "-' . - . .-- There is but one way Jto preserve , health, and that is live moderately, take proper ex ercise, and be in the fresh air as much as pos sible. Tho man who is' always shutupin a close room, whether the 'apartment-be a min ister's study, a lawyer'sj office, a professor's laboratory, or a merchant's gaslight store, is defying nature, and must sooner, or later, pay the penalty. If his avocation (renders such confinement necessary during a portion of the year, he can avoid a premature breaking down of thc constitution only by taking due exercise during the long! vacations of the sum mer and winter months, j The waste of stamina must be restored by frequent and full draughts of mountain and sea beach air, by the pur suits of tho sportsman,! by travel, or other similar means. Every man who has felt the recuperative effects 'of ajmonth or two of Re laxation, knows from his, own experience how general its influence is; Iioav it sends him back to business with "a new flow of spirits how it almost re-creates him, sd toupeak. 1 Between the lad brought up' to physical- exercises in the invigorating open ai, and one kept con tinually t eoliool, or in ibo fotory,- thcro i? an abyss of difference, w)ilch becomes more perceptible every year, as manhood approach es, the one expanding injti stalwart, full 'ches ted health, while the other is never more than a half, completed lHan. J The advantages of excTcise arc as great to feTriales also. All that ve have said about preserving health in the man, is as true of the opposite sex. Butjhis is not the whole. The true foundation of beauty in woman is Exercise in fresh air. ho Cosmetics are equal to these. "The famous jtiana of Toicteers, who maintained her loveliness until she was near sixty, owed this extraordinary rusult, in her own' opinion, to her daily bathearly ris ing, and her exercise in tile saddle. English ladies of rank are celebrated, the world over, for their splendid persons jand brilliant com plexion; and they arc proverbial for their at tention to walking and ruling, and the hours spoilt daily out of doors.) The sallow cheeks, stooping figures susceptibility to cold, and al most constant ill-health, which prevail among tho American wives and daughters generally, are to be attributed almost entirely to their excessive sedentary life, and to the infirmity caused by tho same life on the part of their p'arent. A woman can no! more become beau tiful, in the true sct.se of the term, or remain so' without healthful exercise in the open air, than a plant can thrive Without light, If we put the latter into a cellar, it either dies out right, or refuses to bloom. Shall we wilt our sisters, wives or daughters, by a similar depri vation of what is as necessary to their .har monious development? . , ; . In another .aspect, the care of health is a more important thing' than is usually suppos ed. There is no doubt that, as between city and country, the population of the former suffers most from want of! exercise 'and fresh air, and that consequently the stamina, 60 to speak, of a city population, is inferior to that of a rural one. It is eveii said that in some citio, 'Paris, for instance, j few strictly town bred families last over a Century, arid that, if Uio population was not continually recruited from the country, it would die out. It is an equally striking fact and' one that lies within the observation of all oflu that the most energetic merchauts generally, in. New York, .. 1 t i 11 lioston andl'mladeipnia, nave oeen onginawy lads from the rural towns lor counties, whose well-balanced health has hot only produced well-balanced, vigorous, Enterprising minds, but enabled them fto endure an amount ot fatigue which the averags of their city-bred com peli tors could not rival. . . - ,r The public weal, therefore, as well as tne happiness of, the individual, is. concerned in this Question of health. Yet, we Americans almost ignore it, and practically neglect U en tirely. The old Greeks Had Uieir gymnasiums for nhvsical exercise, which were as much state institutions as common schools are now. Were not the Greeks wiser, after all, than we are, at least in this particular! " t " I The schoolmaster has made his appearance in California, as the following from the San Francisco Sun will show: . - , 44 We met a grammarian' who had just made an unsuccessiui iour imuuu .wc uratinr? of rather coffitating thus: Positive tuine, comparative miner, superlative minus.. Potatoes are selling in New York at two dollars a bushel and small jpotalotszt that. irr .tt .r ; 1 -From the Charleston, ;.M ercu'rjr. "; ' J i The Wlii;Party-:S Under this head we copied yesterday from the Petersburglntellkencer, an influential whiff r paper of Vjrginia,an article which opened with iue assertion inai ine ynig party as sucn has ceased to exist.- The same idea begins to pervade tbia entire Whig press at the" South. The fact of a complete schism of 'the party is indeed manifest: It appeared in the vote on ;the Nebraska bill,' which was sustained by nearly every Southern Whi, as doing barely justice to the South, and was opposed and de nounced by every Northern Whig as an atrocious outrage;: upon their section. The Hi visum Vvas not only sectional in fact, but strictly sectional m the grounds of seara- tiofir Kl : i : . - ";-; But the Northern Whigs have " not" waited for the Southern to declare the dissolution of the party. They have themselves, with every scornful and bitter term at their . command, renounced the fellowship of their former as sociates, and declared that henceforth" there is war without end and without mercy between them. ; , They have openly adopted .Seward. as their candidate and abolitionism as their creed. They go for a great Northern party founded and fed on anti-slavery feeling, .and vhich, instead of Bank,- Tariff and Internal Improvement, shall have inscribed on its ban ners "the Wilmot Proviso for Nebraska Repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law and Aboli tion of slavery in the District of Columbia." . We barely state the declared objects of the new party, leaving out the. foul and atrocious language which they habitually . employ in announcing them. And this is no mere explosion of ill tem per, but a settled and 'determined plan. More over they are confident of success, ' and hold it as certain that the nextPresidential election will waft into power a purely Northern party, triumphing on thoroughly abolition principles.' This is the picture which thebouthern Whigs are called upon to . contemplate. . It probably depends Upon their wisdom, firmness and pa triotism, whether it shall be realized or not. The division of the South, or even a suspicion of its want of unity in this emergency will probablv ensure the triumph of the Abolition bartv. The thorough and cordial ' union of the South, will probably defeat it. And now we ask the Southern : Whigs, in viw of this f'reat issue, to consider what - - o ' -- grounds of dissension there are between par ties at home, that are of sufficient moment to instiftr thft nrpervation of the old lines of ,lk""nnt TTare. not these lineSi as marks of the conflict, of principle, become already nearly obliterated? - Is it not far more the memory of old party struggjes, than any exis ting war of opinion, that keeps up the divis ion? Is it not, in fact, ea matter of great labor and invention, for Southern parties to get up sufficiently plausible matters of dispute to jus tify them in abusing each other at elections? But we have now. forced upon Us a mighty issue,'. which cannot be evaded or put off, and in which the interests or opinions of all par ties at the South are identical, and. which can only be met by a union of all. There is but one" question now, and the South can ; only take one side. - From the Petersburg (Whig) Intelligencer. ! tiiE w;hig PARTY. . j To any one of the slightest observation it must be very apparent that what was once known as the Whig party has ceased to exist." The name now used signifies nothing and rep resents nothing -in1 a national sense of the word . The so-called whigs of the North ha ve not one feeling in common with the whigs of theSouth.and it is idle for sections so antagon-4 ist'C to attempt to unite in eiecunga canuiuaie for the Presidency, These facts- have, much against our will, been forced upon us by the action off the Whigs of the North. For a time there were some who held out,or seemed to hold out, against the fanatical attempts up on the Union made by its enemies,, the aboli tionists; but these at last have been carried off by "the heady current" of freesoilism, and now the South has! not one friend among the influ ential Whigs of the North, except Millard Fillmore, upon whom shecould rely for aid and support in maintaining her constitutional rights. This is a melancholy statement, the, truth of which canno even be doubted. Peo ple may wish it were otherwise, but fire and water will as soon harmonize as Southern. Whigs andNorthern FreesoilerSi The North ern "Whigs have not only deserted the . Whigs of , the So.uth, but have addeoTinsult to injury j Their tone is that of superior to inferior.! Their language is, "Gentlemen of the South, you want too much, and we cannot yield to your demands. As long as you( were content with what we were willing to concede, to you it; was all very , welt, but now that you have set up lor yourselves it is quite anoiner luing. Such language pre-supposes a vassalage - the part of the South, whiib, as a Sout man, we indicrnantly deny and repel beg nothing at the hands of - the North, demand, and will in the end compel, a respec for our constitutional rights.. - j f ; The Southern Whigs having thus been de sorted by the hypocritesof the North ho s6 long played a double game with uvthe f nuesnon wi necessaniv ansu as w wui is our true policy ' In the absence of something whioh w rannot now rationailv expect, w cannot believe that the Whigs of . the Soy. will consent to.be represented-in a so-cal Whig National Convention.
