Em l Tiff: STJtTES: ' Distirrt as the Billoics. but one as the Sea.' EDITOR AND MOrRIETOa. CHARLOTTE. Tuesday Morning, Feb. 19, 1856 COMING SOUTH. The National or Southern feature of the Know Nothing plutfnrm of the Philadelphia '. invention, first repudiated by all theNor bcrn Know Nothings, begins to share a similar fate in the South. Conscious if that .-eution he insisted on, the Southern and Northern wings of Know Nothingisin can not unite at the approaching Presidential contest, wc find this party in the South also repudiating it. The Botts party of Virginia first set their seal of condemnation on the 12th section, and now we find North Caroli nians doing the same thing. A Know No thing me tinp at Lotusbavg, in this State, a few days ig. resolved that thoy "desired no slavery plank in their platform," and their journal, the "Eagle" of that place, endorses and defends the resolution. We do not anticipate however, thut this move will find much favor with the people of the Sooth. It will be confined chiefly to poli tician, who would sacrifice the boot inter ests of the country to promote selfish ends. It will be recollected that tin "12lh section1 declares that " the National Council has deemed it the best guarantee of common justice and of future peace, to abide by and maintain the existing lairs upon the subject of slavery, as a final and court usire settlement of that subject, in spirit and in substanci" that Congress possesses no power, under the Constitution, to legislate upon the sub ject of Slavery in the States where it does .r may e.xi.-t, or to exclude any State from adnisoioa into the Union, because its Con stitution does or docs not recognise the in stitution of Slavery as a part of its social PjatflOB;" and that ''Congress ought not to legislate upon the subject of Slavery within the Territories of the I'nited States, and any interference by Congress with Slavery as it exists in the District of Columbia, would be a violation of the spirit and inten tion of the compact by which the State of Maryland ceded the District to the Cnited States, and a breach of the. National faith." The above forms the portion of the plat form which wc find Southern Know Noth ings U ginning to repudiate. OFFICE-SEEKERS. "It is calculated that there were at least five bundled applicants for office under the lloit.-e organization in and about the Capi tol to-,la v. while distant aspirants arc oper ating through Congressional friends. The ruh is desperate." Halt. Sun. The above is a good commentary on the following paragraphs which occur among a mass of other clap-trap, in the notorious Philadelphia platform that platform which was at the saBM time passed and not passed, adopted and repudiated. "Di.-gust for the wild hunt after uftico whieh characterizes the age." "Imitation of the practice of the purer days of the Republic, and admiration for the maxim, 'that office should seek the man and not the man the office.' " c are not aware that there are more than five offices within the gift of the House of Representatives, and so, ut the lowest caleulation, they average one hundred ap plinitinn apiece. Wc arc obliged to admit that the Know Nothings have the queerest way of showing their "disgust" for a thing that had ever suggested itself to a rational being. And the offices which have come within the gift of this party seem to have had their faculty of "seeking men" most mira culously increased. The whole country must feel relieved under the appearance, that, from the success whieh tin- five offices of clerk, sergeant, printer, postmaster, and libarian have had in "seeking sua," the offices are not going to be vacant after all, but will each succeed in finding a "man" with a reserve of at least a hundred more.

Having done so well in honoring national worth, can it be that North Carolina will fail to do honor to her own sons, and permit the mantle of oblivion to fall upon the names of those who were the first upon the American Continent to strike for liberty and independence?" THE COMMERCIAL CONVENTION. We are indebted to an intelligent gentleman, familiar with the subject, fur an interestine- com munication in relation to the late Commercial Convention at Richmond. It wiU be found in another column. Hr" It will be observed by our notice of the :oceedings of Congress that C. P. Wendell, from Albany, New York, (Demo crat, and the nominee of a Congressional Democratic caucus,) has been elected Pub lic Printer, beating the black Republican or abolition Know-Nothing nominee, 0. Follett, of Ohio, ten votes. New Hampshire. An election for Gov ernor and other State officers will take place in New Hampshire on the 11th of March. A warm canvass is progressing the Democrats waging a fierce war against abolition Kuow-Nothingism, with confident anticipations of reversing the result of the last election in that State. The Democrats of Merimac county, N. II., held an immense mass meeting at Concord on the 7th instant. Speeches were made by Messrs. Weller, of California, Orr, of South Carolina, Lane, of Oregon, Cobb, of Ga., John S. Weller and others. ' ' f S ' ' Maryland Se NATOR. Anthony Ken nedy, ( Know-Nothing) a member of the II ouse of Delegates of Maryland, was on Thursday elected United States Senator from that State for six years from the 4th of March, 1857, when the term of Hon. Thomas G. Pratt will expire. He Is a brother of the Hon. John P. Kennedy which appears to be his chief qualification for the dignified and responsible office. , The Hon. Edward Everett has been invited by the ladies of Richmond, (Va.,) to repeat a discourse on the Life and Ser- viees of Washington, which he is preparing to deliver in Boston, on the 22d of Februa ry. He has accepted the invitation, and appointed the 13th of March for its delive ry. The proceeds of the lecture are to go towards the purchase of the Mount Vernon property. tW Hon. William Smith, of Va., address ed a Democratic meeting at Alexandria, on Thursday, the 7th inst., and promised that at some future day he would make certain explanations to his constituents, in relation to the contest for the Speakership. He probably intends to explain how it was that he, a gentleman strongly suspected of having Know-Nothing attachments, failed to secure the entire Democratic vote. ty The Boston Post asks tho following curious question : "Is it true, as has been reported, that the committee on anti-slavery lectures, who were requested by Hon. Robert Touinbs to hand over the one hun dred dollars he declined to receive for his lecture, to some society for aiding emigrants, have given it to the society for aiding fugi tive slaves to migrate to Canada ?" Death of Virginians. Three old and prominent Virginians have died within a few days past, namely : Joseph C. Cabell, of Nelson county, John Field Cocke, of Powhatan, and Jacqueline B. Harvie, of Richmond city. Compliment to Mr. Wise. The Leg islature of Virginia has named a new coun ty, formed out of portions of Scott and Lee counties, "Wise," in compliment to Gov ernor Wise. There was only one vote against the name. Glorious Victory. The election in Wheel ing, Va., on Monday last resulted in what we should call a terrible defeat for the Know-Nothings. The Intelligencer modestly says : "The result is anything but the triumph anticipated by the KnoW'Nothinga, there not being more than four or rive Know-Nothings in the twenty-two mem bers elected to the council. " "The election was a very exciting one.'' "The mayor, clerk, and treasurer had no opponents." Among the coun cilmen elect are, Shenard Clemens, Z. Jacob, John Knote, E. H. Fitzhogh, and others of the best men in Wheeling. Wheeling has always heretofore had a large Whig and Know-Nothing majority. Inauguration of Jackson's Statue. The inauguration of Clark Mills' eques trian statue of Jackson, took place at New Orleans on the 9th, in the presence of 60,000 persons. L. J.

The insurance companies decline taking further risks on the steamship Pacific, now so long over due, being heavily involved already. A steamer will be substituted in her place on Saturday for Liverpool, but it is undecided what boat it shall be. " S ' ' THE COMMITTEES. We give to-day a list of the Committees appointed by Speaker Banks. They are fashioned to suit the designs of the Black Republicans. Horace Greeley says they are "satisfactory to the North, and are ar ranged with a view to the triumph of Free dom." From Greeley's endorsation, their ! character may at once be estimated.

The Commercial Convention, lately as sembled at Richmond, contained some 22-i Delegates from Maryland, tho District of Columbia, Virginia, North Carolina, Mis souri, Louisiana, Texas, and on the last day, one from Tennessee. From the tenacity with which opposition was at once made to action, some belie -ed apprehensions were entertained that certain private interests, claims, or inten tions, would be influenced by acts of the Convention. The City of Richmond had been twice appointed as the place of meeting ; once delayed on account of fever at Norfolk. An immediate proposition to assemble again in the same place, during May or June, was regarded unnecessary scarcely courteous, but onerous as upon such occasions there are always extraordinary and expensive preparations, which some were indisposed to call for again. Of course, no gentleman of Richmond could object to the proposition. Distnnt delegates, therefore, were obliged to resist delay, and attempt to carry out some of the ; intentions of the meeting anticipated for a whole year, since the adjournment at New Orleans, in order to avoid the ridicule of precipitately abandoning every effort. On this account, all the Delegates from North Carolina uniformly opposed adjournment, through one of their number. Two days were vainly spent arguing this subject ; and the members of a Committee to whom all resolutions were ordered to be referred, were obliged, by a majority of the States, to report through their chairman, Mr. Floyd, the series of original resolutions, in order to be again debated in the whole body. In deciding the final vote, in Convention, by States, Texas, Louisiana, and Missouri, not largely represented, antagonised numerous delegates from Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. Those from the District decided against the resolutions to adjourn. The Delegate from Tennessee had not then arrived, being delayed by the state of the J roads. The Convention sat four days. Two were spent discussing adjournment. A public dinner was given on one of the last days. No reports were called for, or offered ; nor did there appear much preparation for the practical issues upon which the welfare of the South depends. No doubt some prooo- sitions wer: withheld, for want of time and j opportunity. A spirit, conservative of the Constitution and the Union characterised the expressions of the assemblage. Our Eastern neighbors, it was thought, u,u uot ?mi Jain 111 ine traces ot ment, according to original agreement ; and on that account, it was nronosed to twitch them up a little, when thev hunrr back. 1 The meaning of the moral law, pressed - o ; by active abolitionists, that a runaway ser- vant was, in no instance, to be returned to his master, was resisted in debate, and ex- plained not to have refpr.ne in n snrvnnt running from our Hebre w Tribe, or State, to another, but to servant:,, prisoners of war, 4 - . - fleeing trom the wild wandering tribes, in ; the neighborhood of the Hebrews, who were J alone allowed to bb bouo-ht a slaves, hv them. The moral law nf tho WoKic xr" of him. "A neighbor," in Hebrew law, is one under the same institution of Govern ment; for moral law does make a differ ence between "neighbors" and "strangers," in relation to slaves. Slaves were distinct- writing, as they once were by the transla- tion, which sanctioned the drowning of witches, now corrected bv better sense, and a pure interpretation of truth and humani- itv. Some references to the influences of ! Peculiar diet were made in pleasantry, rather to allay unkind feeling, and with a recollection of the diverting description of a clerical humourist "Old friendships are destroyed by toasted cheese," and so forth. rt,, , . e j. i: iuere was very uigni leiexeuce 10 pun- tics in the convention ana properly so. Some did allude to a next meeting about the same time as conventions of other charac ter ; but the proposition did not prevail. It was also suggested to have a meeting convenient for Members of Congress, but a frank spoken Virginian said "he would op pose it, as he desired no convenience of the kind, and thought they did much better without such attendance." This caused some mirth, in which an intelligent mem ber of Congress from Petersburg, who was present, heartily joined. The Convention was made a disappoint ment and failure, in the opinion of many, although as a popular body, there was a strong representation of Southern bearkand intelligence. If another takes place, as proposed, next December, in Savannah, the experience of waste of time and resolutions may then be made serviceable. The social influences of these Southern Conventions are valuable, and might be much increased by varied reports and strict attention to the practical interests of the South, unalloyed by party politics, and controlled in their application to speculations, of all kinds. As these Conventions annually meet in distant sections of the Southern country, and are differently represented according I to conveniences of location, season, and weather, it docs seem advisable they should assume a more democratic form as primary assemblages of the people, and not simply representations of States; for their action is only suggestive or for information; and an easy interchange or communication of opinion is better, in the opinion of many, than the more dilatory forms of strictly representative assemblages. a o av- The Issue. The issue at the next Pre sidential election will be directly between the white men and the negroes. Franklin Pierce will probably be the white man's audidate, and Wm. H. Seward the negroes. If the people of the United States feel more interest in tho government of negroes than in the government of white men, they will elect Mr. Seward, if not they will re-elect President Pierce, and continue this a gov ernment for white men until the three mil lions of negroes in the South become of more consequence and importance than the twenty millions of white men.

IW The Concord Gazette complains of a scarcity of tea and coffee in that town during the cold cold season, and laments the hard freeze which prevents the people from getting at the "sassafras." New Coins Proposed. Mr. Weller in- troduced into the U. S. Senate a bill author- zing the coinage at the San Francisco Mint, of "Unions," of the value of one hundred dollars each, and "Half Unions," of the value of fifty dollars, to be made conform ably to the standard of gold coins, and re ceived as legal tender.
