Tt will be seen by the action of the Democratic Executive Committee that the next State Conven tion of the democratic party of North Carolina, is to be held in Raleigh on the Sth of March. A call is made upon the part)- in the different Counties to organize by holding public meetings and the appointment of delegates. Every true democrat can now sec the importance of thorough organization, of concert of action, of harmony in our ranks, ami of a united effort against a common enemy. Let the party in each county, at the Fall and inter Courts, give prompt attention to the appointment of delegates to the State Convention ti nominate a candidate for Governor, also delegates to a District Convention to select two delegates to attend the National Convention at Charleston in May next. We hope the recommendation of the Committee that each county meeting appoint in executive committee of live, will also receive attention. The object for the appointment of said committees is, that all proper efforts may be made to promote the sucees; of the democratic part- iu the different counties. Active, energetic men should be ap pointed, who will have time or take time to dis charge their duties. I'ntil the appointment of a Central Committee by the State convention, the county committees can correspond with Dr. James K. Williamson, Locust Hill P.O. Caswell county, N. C, famishing him w ith the name of their Post Ifficc, &c. be their dead carcasses, We suppose all parties will accord due credit to Mr lJuchanan and the authorities at Washington, as well as to Gov. Wise, for taking prompt meas ures to suppress the outbreak. THE JUDGES Appointed to award premiums at the Mecklenburg North. Fair this week, are requested to hand their reports Mr l'orney says: to Gen. Jno. A. Young on Tkurttlajf by 3 o'clock. Those who neglect to attend to this matter will FREEDOM OP THE PRESS. It has been truly said that "the freedom of the press is the bulwark of Liberty." That this is true, no one in this country will presume to deny. And it is also true that the abuse of this freedom is the bane of society and the foe of religion. Time and experience have shown that in propor tion as the press is left free and untrammelled, to call public servants to account before the popular tribunal for acts of questionable policy and proprie ty, and to sound the tocsin of alarm when dangers threaten the citadel of liberty, do the people ad vance in science and morality, and live prosperous and happy. Put, on the other hand, this freedom in the bauds of base and designing men, degener ates into licentiousness, and becomes a powerful agent of positive injury, not only to public and private character, but to public morals. When men, actuated by motives of revenge, envy and malice, use the freedom of the press to strike covertly at innocence and virtue, they should be signally rebuked by every lover of good order and public quiet, and hurled from a position they dis grace, and which serves them as an engine for pouring their venom upon the good and upright. We have been led to these remarks by reading a scurrilous attack upon Mr Buchanan, by J. W. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press. Because Mr Buchanan would not lend his influence for Mr For ney's promotion, he became a bitter opponent of the Administration; and the recent death by duel of Sen ator Broderiek, of California, has served as a fresh pretext for the most malicious and fiendish article we have ever read; and which, we are sorry to say, has given southern opposition papers a cue for an attack upon an Administration which has been true as steel to our interests, and maintained south ern rights in the face of bitter opposition at the Bead an extract speaking of Broderiek up for consideration, i many articles pertaining to this department, all " I'll 1 1 . .1 But instead of passing it as amended or refusing i evincing ingenuity, skui, ana auapuuiou tome . , .. . . purposes tor which they were intended, to agree to the amendments and then allowing it j 0u Thursday, the day set apart for the address, to go back to the Senate, the Republicans and ; the assemblage was the largest we have ever seen Know-nothings (Cilmer and Vance eo-operating) j in Raleigh.

David Outlaw, (occa- by a heavy domestic affliction,) who had the last night of the session, clearly indicating that the movement was for the purpose of defeating the Appropriation and embarrassing a democratic Administration; and Gilmer and Vance assisted in the movement. Well, the new bill was oflered to the Senate about forty minutes before the time fixed by law for the final adjournment of both Houses. The Senate did not have time enough to consider the bill or even have it read as the law mechanic art re; tired; consequently it failed by the hour of adjournment arriving before action could be had. stoned by a been selected to deliver the address, several gen tlemen were called out on the stand and made im promptu speeches. Gov. Ellis, the Hon. D. M. Barringer, Gov. Bragg, Gov. Manly, Col. W. L. Steele, and (Jov. Morehead, entertained the people for an hour or so, and were received with warm demonstrations of applause. Their remarks were well-timed, appropriate, and to the point, evincing a deep interest in the cause of agriculture and the bv We knew that the life of this man had beer, sought the mvrmiduas of the Federal Administration tor lajt two years.'

"It was only because he refused to com promise the truth, ami to abandon his solemn pledges, that we are now called upon to mourn his untimely death. Thus has fallen the first great martyr to the political principles of the campaign of lS5t! We ask the arch-traitor to those principles if, in his old age, he can feel that his hands are clear of the heart's blood of David (.'. Broderiek ?'' President Buchanan is here charged with in directly assassinating "Dave Broderiek " I a man whose circle of influence extended but little be yond a California mob, and who, if he did oppose the Administration, didn't rise high enough in political, social or moral importance, to reach Mr Buchanan's contempt ! The President would no more stain his hands with the blood of David C. Broderiek than he would disgrace himself by a legal prosecution of John W Forney for slander ! We do not wish to berate a man who has gone to his final reward.

C, made a Will conveying his large fortune to the Roman Catholic Church, and leaving his only child, the wife of Prof. Mittag, in needy circumstances. The Will was contested by the heirs, and we notice that the Ordinary of the District has recently decreed against its legality. Quite a demonstration (we learn from the Ledger) took place in Lancaster at night when the Decree of the Ordinary was made public: Music, proces sion of citizens, speeches, sapper, and rejoicing generally.

This Circus, which has the reputation of being one of the best in the Southern country, will give exhibitions in this place on Monday, Oct. 31st. As much prejudice has been excited against Robinson1 s Circus on account of the row which took place at Gaston a few days since, it is but proper for us to state, in justice to Mr. Yankee Robinson, the proprietor of this Circus, that it was Robinson & Lake's Circus Company which had the row at Gaston, and not Mr. Yankee Robinson's. This Com pany, we are informed, never had a row of the kind any where since its formation. The proprietor of this Com pany has the appearance of being a gentleman, and is doubtless a worthy man. Read the following from the Salem Press: From the Salem Press, N. C THE DOUBLE SHOW COMING. The advertisement of Yankee Robinson's Circus and Theatre will be seen in our columns. It will be exhib ited at this place on Saturday the 23d instant, and from what we learn from our Southern exchauges, it is far superior to any thing of the kind which ever appeared in this section of country. The Charleston Courier speaks highly of this exhibi tion. The Cheraw (S.C.) Gazette says : "The performances, generally, gave great satisfaction. Some of the feats of activity were truly astonishing. The Company is one of the best if not the very best, w hich has been here since our recollection. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson are a host themselves." The Columbia (S. C.) Guardian says: "This accom plished and talented company drew crowded f nd de delighted houses. Their horsemanship, acrobatic feats, and theatrical representations arc excellent, and con tain nothing unrefined, or that would shock the austere sensibilities of the most fastidious.''
