Tire STATES: ' Distinct as the Billoics, but one as the Sea.' EDITOR A .NO PROPRIETOR. CHARLOTTE Tuesday Morning, May 13, 1856. SUPERIOR COURT. The Spring term of this Court, his Honor Judge J. W. Ellis presiding, commenced yesterday. Judge E- delivered an able and impressive charge to the Grand Jury. No new State cases being ready for trial, the attention of the Court mi chiefly occupied with the disposal of old Statu cases, of which we believe the docket was cleared. None of them were of public interest. The State vs. James Donehoe. a white man, charged with the killing of Mice Taylor, a free negro, in this town, on the 4th of Fe bruary hist, will probably be taken up for trial on Wednesday (to-morrow.) The other criminal cases are of minor character, being confined to larcenies and rlneablo of fences. A large number of oitizens from the country, and many visitors from surround iug counties, ran in town yesterday, and a much greater number is anticipated to-day. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. A Convention, composed of delegates from the several counties of this Congres sional district, will assemble in this town to-day, to appoint a Presidential Elector for this District, au1 to select a Delegate and Alternate to the National Democratic Con vention, to meet at Cincinnati, on the 2d of J une. -" - COUNTY DEMOCRATIC NEETINO The Democracy of Mecklenburg will to day hold a meeting at the Court-House, to select a candidate for tho Senate and two candidates for the House of Commons, to represent Mecklenburg in the next State Legislature. It will be seen by a Card in another co liimn, that Dr. H. M- PRITCHAKD, on ac count of reasons assigned, declines yield ing to the wishes of " Many Voters," who desired his nomination. This the nil merous friends of Dr. P. will learn with regret. We have many "good nnd true" men in our ranks, but none more able than Dr. I. to represent us intelligibly and sa tisfactorily. ( , SENATORIAL NOMINATION. The Convention which mot on Saturday last, at Lincolnton, nominated James H. WHITE, Esq., of Gaston, as the Demo cratic candidate for the .State Senate, in the district tomposod of the counties of Ca tawba. Gastan, and Lincoln. Mr. W. is a popular frentleman, who will make a good Senator. s ' r Com. Btocrox. This gentleman is out in a card Mating that at bis request the movement in New Jersey to bring him for ward as an independent candidate for the Pre.-ideney bus been abandoned. He also Mates tbt he is anxious that the people of New Jersey may have an opportunity (not emharrassed by other iswes) of manifesting their condemnation of the repeal of the Missouri Com promise. o Govekn.h: instead of Speaker. The Democratic State Convention of Illinois has nominabd Wm. A. Eticfeardsoa for Gover nor; R J. Kn hardson for Lieutenant Gov ernor; W. II. Snyder for Secretary of State; John Moon for Treasurer und Samuel K. Casey for Auditor. ' - " f s , Klection in Wii.minc.ton. -The elec tion in Wilmington, N. C.. Monday the 5th instant, for Commissioners of Navigation, resulted in the MMOMof the American candidates. The Journal mentions as an incident of the day, that a democrat voted for Mr. J. H. Planner, one of the American candidates, by mistake, and thus elected him. The contest was a close one, as the result below will show: American Ticket. R. F. Brown, SOU Democratic Ticket. N. N. Nixon. 493 Goe. W. Davis, 503 Coe. Houston, 491 M. Costin, 497 J- II . Planner, 4!V T. C. Worth. 501 George Ilarriss, 507 S. X. Martin. 494 L. B.

Eucnos in Philadelphia The en tiro Democratic ticket was elected on the 7th instant. Vaox the Democratic candi date for Mayor was elected bv 4,328. The Democrats have a majority in the council,. The belect Council stands, with those mem bers holding over. 14 Democrats to 10 Americans, and the Common Council stands. t9 Democrats to 17 Americans. The result of the recent municipal election in Philadelphia, exhibits a change n favor of the Democrats since 1854 amounting to some thirteen thousand votes. MR- Buchanan Mr. Buchanan was notified at Lancaster, by the committee, of his nomination by the Pennsylvania Demo crats btate Canvention. on the 8th instant, adltT ndrsed the "solutions dopted by the nominating convention. -Ex-President Tvl of V vr. ' J- ood, a lira. n a - "Uic recently been delivering "cture. m Richmond. Va.. in 1 Ms Mou Vernon Association Fund the Death op Hon. W. C. Dawson. The Augusta papers announce the death of Hon W. C. Dawson, at his residence in Greens boro, Georgia, on Tuesday morning last He had filled many offices of honor and trust in his native State, and represented her in the Senate of the United States from 1847 to 1853. He was widely known and deservedly esteemed "If I thought I bad one drop of Dem ocratic blood in my veins, I would open them and let it out." This sentiment was uttered by the Hon James Buchanan, in a speech delivered, if we mistake not, during the second war with Great Britain. Know-Nothing Paper. The above was long since contradicted by a Lancaster (Pa.) paper, the place of Mr. Buchanan's residence, on the authori ty of Mr. B. himself ; but it has again been revived by Know-Nothingism. New Jersey. The Democratic State Convention assembled on the 6th instant, and appointed delegates to the Cincinnati Convention. Resolutions were passed in structing the delegates to vote for Mr. Buchanan denouncing Know-Nothingism, and endorsing the principles of the National Administration, and the principles of the Kansas Nebraska act. Repudiation in Massachusetts. The bolters from the American State Council, held a session at the Adams' House in Boston, May 7th, and adopted resolutions repudiating Eillmore and Donelson. They chose delegates to the Anti-Fillmore Nation al Convention at New York on the 12th of June. EP"A. G. Maorath, Esq. has been ap pointed U. S. District Judge, to supply the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Gil christ, of Charleston. The "Mercury" eu logises the appointment in very high terms. XJF The Hon. Burton Craige, our Re presentative in Congress, made last week a flying visit to his family in Salisbury. The " Banner" says Mr. C. was enjoying good health and in fine spirits. Delegates Appointed. Tho Demo cratic Convention in Petersburg district assembled in that city Tuesday, and ap pointed Hon. R. K. Meade and L. E. Har vio, Esq., of Amelia, as delegates to the Cincinnati Convention. The latter gentle man declared himself in favor of R. M. T. Hunter first, and then Franklin Pierce. The Wheat Crop in the West. A gentleman who has recently travelled through a portion of the West, states that the wheat crop looks well everywhere on the route. Another, who arrived at Ro chester, from a western trip, states that in Ohio tho crop is exceedingly promising, and unless some disaster occurs, a very large crop is expected and prices must fall. In tho Genesee country the prospect is very good. Speculations in Cotton. It is said there is reason to believe that one of the greatest speculations that has taken place for years, is now going on in cotton. The parties are said to be residents in New York, England and tho Southern States, aided by the Banks of New York and the S uth. The object is, to get possession of so much of the crop as to control the mar ket, and run the prices very high. It is suid it will require an investment of $26,- 000,000 for five or six months, to effect tho object of the spectators. I. The two Turners, who were arrested for placing obstructions on the North Caro lina Rail Road, have been examined and discharged for wnnt of evidence. Crossing the Bridge. The Richmond and Danville Railroad cars crossed the bridge at Danvillo on the 6th instant, for the first time. Tho occasion was one of great rejoicing to the friends of that road throughout the State. Death of a Poet. James G. Percival, the poet, died at Hazelgreen, Wisconsin, on Friday last. Ho entered Yale College at the age of sixteen, and in 1815 read a9 a commencement exercise, his tragedy of "Za niar," which was his first serious attempt at poetry, though he had previously written some fugitive verses. In 1820 he publish ed his first volume, leading off with the first part of "Promethus," a composition in the Spenserian stanza. Having received his diploma of doctor at science, he went the ame year to Charleston, S. C, and begun the practice of his profession. He was, however, incurably addicted to literature, and devoted his entire time and attention to it. Two years ago ho was chosen State Geologist of Wisconsin, and at once went to work in that new and interesting field. Xa6Hille, Tens. Jas. Walker, the father of Gen. Walker, of Xicaraeuan no toriety, is a resident of Nashville. One of the lots vacated by the recent burning of the Nashville Inn, was sold on the 20th ult., at one thousand dollars a foot. The small pox has broken out in Nashville, though not in a very maliguant form. Sweet pota to seed have been selling at $5 per bushel in that city this spring, and none are now to be had at that price. Our Native Wines. The Ohio Valley F armer estimates, from Statistics of the Horticultural S -ciety, that there are two thousand acres of Catawba vines in culti vation in the vicinity of Cincinnati, of which 1600 acres are in full bearing. By the average production of tha last few years this area of vines will yield 500,000 gallons of wine, which yield must, in a short time, be doubled. The demand for wine is increasing faster than the supply. Somebody down in Arkansas has sent the editor of the Louisville Journal an "American eagle" in a cag6i which thfl editor says shall be released when FUlmore is elected to the Presidency. That poor bird is doomed. lyThe smallest Bank in the U. States is the Bank of Cayuga Lake, at Painted Post, Jew York, with a capital of $10,000. DEMOCRATIC MEETING Pursuant to previous notice, a meeting of the Democrats of Cabarrus county, was held at the Court House in Concord, on Sa turday the 10th of May, A. D., 1856, when Silas Young was called to the Chair, and Wm. Q. Weddington and John Wilkinson appointed Secretaries. The object of the meeting was explained by D. Coleman, Esq., in a few brief and pertinent remarks. Resolved, That Ibzan Cannon, Henry Propst, Simon Bost, John W. Young, A. A. Smithdeal, Cvru3 A. Alexander. Jacob w Ludwick and H. A. Area, be appointed delegates to the Democratic Convention to beheld in the town of Charlotte, on the 13th instant, for the purpose of selecting delegates to represent the Seventh Congres sional District in the Cincinnati Convention; and, on motion, the Chairman and Secreta ries were added to the number. Resolved, unanimously, that the nomina tion of Thomas Bragg, for Governor of the State of North Carolina, be approved and ratified by this meeting. A Democratic meeting was appointed for said county, to be held at the Court House in Concord, on the third Saturday in June next, to take into consideration the action of the Cincinnati Convention, aforesaid, and for other purposes, at the hour of one o'clock, P. M. Moved and seconded, that the proceed ings of this meeting be published in the Re publican Banner and Western Democrat. On motion, the meeting adjourned. SILAS YOUNG, Chairman. W. G. Weodinoton, ? Q . . John Wilkinson, VOTING IN KANSAS. Emigrants to Kansas, it appears, have the privilege of voting the day after their arrival, by the payment of the Territorial i Tax. The following is the section of the law giving the right: "Everv free white male citizen of the United States, and every free male Indian who is made a citizen by treaty or other wise, and over the age of 21 years, who shall be an inhabitant of this Territory, and of the county or district in which he offers to vote, and shall have paid a territorial tax, shall be a qualified elector for all elective offices." m Identified. The body of a man was found near Lock No. 6, on the Canal, nine, miles from Richmond, Va., on Monday last. An inquest was held by Coroner Duval, and the body identified as that of Wrm. Snuffer, a respectable merchant of Franklin county, Va. He has been missing from Richmond, where he came to buy his goods, for ten days past. He wandered off in a state of temporary insanity, the effect of drinking. The jury rendered a verdict of death from intemperance and exposure. The deceased leaves a wife and four children. Fined for Disturbing a Meeting. At the late term of the Circuit Court in King & Queen, Judge Lomax presiding, Philip Eastis was fined $50 and sentenced to six months imprisonment for disorderly conduct at the "Old Church," by which the exercises of a Methodist meeting were seriously disturbed. Judge Lomax stated that he felt called on to inflict the full penalty of the law in view of tho fact that these disturbances were becoming so fre quent. Hail Storm. A very severe hail storm visited Auburn, (Ala.) ou the 4th instant, which lasted about twenty minutes. Some of the hail stones were as large as a lemon, and many of them weighed four ounces. The glass was broken in the dwelling hous es, and a number of fowls killed. Young vegetation of course suffered severely, but no injury is reported to men or cattle. Chinese Celebration. The Chinese residents of San Francisco, California, to the number of 3,000, recently celebrated the opening of an Asylum there for the Chinese poor. A deafening noise of gongs was kept up all day. Ching-Tai was the reigning God of the occasion, and spread before him were innumerable roast pigs and puppies, and other delicacies. Out of his Latitude. Last week a Seal was captured in the marshes of the Roanoke river, in Tyrrell county, N. C, by regaling itself on a fish entangled in a shad net. It yielded three gallons of oil. It is the first seal ever seen south of the waters of New York. e BTA rumor prevails in Washington (with those whose wish is father to the thought,) that there will be bolting in Cincinnati Con vention, if the South should succeed in their purpose of establishing a National platform; and that the seceders will nominate J. C. Fremont as the representative of the Silas Wright, Van Buren, Benton Democracy, who would be supported by the Soft Shells and "Black Republicans" conjointly. NM O A Curious Reason for Committing Suicide. Mr. Elias Workman, living in Holmes county, Ohio, committed suicide on Sunday morning last, by hanging himself with a bridle. It is said he had lately been elected assessor of the township, and had given a heavy bond. Fearing he was not fit for the office, and to avoid the mortifica- uon or oeing laughed at, he arose in tne j moraine at 4 o'clock and went to the barn i and hanged himself. - Thackeray's Lecturers. A N. York Journal says that Thackeray's lecturing tour in the United States has yielded him fifteen thousand dollars in five months. He has also been offered by Bradley and Evans ( thirtv-five thousand dollars for his nest DONC'' j x kuofs in t lorida. l ne w asningion Star learns officiallv that there are 10 com- ' panies of United States troops (800 men) - i and five mounted volunteer companies (400 men,) now in Florida, all in pursuit of "Billy Bowlegs" and his followers. The merchants of Chape! Hill, N. C, have held a meeting and resolved to refuse credit to the students of North Carolina College. Interesting Exhibition Our citizens wer ? highly gratified yester day with two exhibitions of the proficiency of the pupils of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Institution of North Carolina, who are now on a visit to this town, accompanied by some of their accomplished teachers. The performances of the children in several de partments of education were wonderful, and elicted the highest degree of admiration from all who attended the exhibition. Ey Rawley Galloway, Esq., of Rocking ham county, N. C, a Taylor and Fillmore Elector in 1848, has avowed his determina tion to act with the Democratic party here after. EP Mr. Thomas Rogers, tho celebrated locomotive builder, who died last Saturday, at Patterson, N. J., began life in New York, as a carpenter, in poverty. At the time of his death he had in his employ 750 men, working one of the largest locomotive man ufactories in the world. He was 65 years of age. - .m'9-m' COMMUNICATION. Mr. Editor : Allow me through your excellent journal to say that I have seen my name suggested by "Many Voters," for the consideration of the Democratic nominating Convention to bo holden in this town on the 13th instant. With feelings of pride I acknowledge the honor thus shown me, but in advance of its action, must declare most peremptorily, that I cannot accept a nomination for any posi tion in the ensuing canvass. I would most cheerfully forego any considerations of a mere personal character to serve my fellow citizens in any capacity their kindness and confidence might place me, to the best of my ability , but paramount considerations will compel me to avoid the boisterous arena of partizan politics; and as there are many gentlemen of our good and glorious old faith, who are more able and worthy, I beg to be left to follow pursuits more con sistent with the circumstances by which I am at present surrounded.
