WESTERN DEMOCEAT, CHAELOTTE, N. C. jj$t$Uxn fl mocvat CHARLOTTE, IV. C. Tuesday, January 31, 18GO. CONVENTIONS. It -will be seen Ij the roceedings of the Demo cratic Meeting published in this paper that the democratic party, in those counties where the de mocrats have the ascendency, contemplate holding County Conventions for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Legislature. The democrats of Mecklenburg have resolved to hold a Convention on Tuesday of April Court, and each Captain's District, or Precinct, is requested to j-end delegates. This is right and proper, and we believe it will meet the approbation of all who pre fer sending democrats from this county to the Legislature. The committee to submit resolutions for the action of the democratic meeting held last week was composed of one person from town and seven from the country, and the resolution recom mending a County Convention at April Court was drawn up at their suggestion in the committee room, and met their entire approbation. It can't Le said, with truth, that this is a town cliqur busi ness. Here are the names of the gentlemen from the country who composed the committee: 11 II Johnston, Jl L DeArmond, W C Morris, Stephen "Wilson, J W Morrow, Zcnas A Grier, and W M Matthews. They are among our best and most intelligent and reliable citizens, and would never countenance unfair action or concoct any unfair schemes; and no one who knows them will dare question their veracity or motives. We are well aware tliat preconcerted, persistent and systematic efforts are being made to prejudice the people against conventions they are made for the purpose ot disorganizing and breaking up the democratic party, and we now warn our party friends against the operations of too eager aspirants for legislative honors. We tell the people now that wherever they find a man foremost and promi nent in denouncing conventions they find one who wants to be a candidate himself and who has del-paired of receiving the nomination. We speak pretty plain now, and whenever the proper time arrives we shall not hesitate to speak plainer and point out what we consider the inconsistency of those who, w hile they profess to be democrats, are pursuing a course calculated to injure and disor ganize the party in order to promote themselves. Whenever gentlemen place themselves before the public they thereby render public criticism fair and j.roper. We shall exercise this right as the occasion and the interests of the party may seem to demand. "We know there are a few unaspiring persons who hosiotly think conventions are wrong, but wt are not apt to hear such persons electioneering much in favor of their ideas; we think, howeve r, we w ill be able to convince them that they are mistaken. "We would prefer that discussions appertaining to the I'ounty canvass should Le deferred until the democratic nominees are in the field, but we learn that sonic getitl -men have already taken the field, tit a jirioitr tray as yet, and this article is merely intended to put democrats on their guard against the operations and representations of those who are very an r ions to serve their country. Last year the democratic convention was denounced after it met this year it is denounced ImJovc meeting. Wc claim to be among the most independent democrats in the State, but we are not disoriraniz ing democrats we shall never play into the hands of the opposition by trying to divide our own par- J ty and array one portion against the other there is no indejendence in such a course as that; it in dicates something else not quite so admirable as true independence. We appeal to the democrats of Mecklenburg not to pledge their support to 3113 one until the- hear the names of all the candidates then wc are per fectly w illing to submit to their decision. There is certainly nothing unfair in that. We have no favorites we intend to support the nominees of the county convention, confidently believing that good aud true men will be selected in a fair and open manner. Our only object is to promote har- ' ''"Ivcs correetly.on the point, and if we are mis monv and secure unity of action. ! taken we shall not hesitate to sav so. We have T T - - . Iax Lists. In answer to an inquiry made bv ., . , . the Comptroller, the Attorney General publishes a letter in the Standard stating that it is the duty ed" the Clerks of the County Courts to make out their Tax Lists this year according to the old assrswnt. J Fire. We learn that the Dwelling, out-houses ! and barn of Rev. Grier MeLauchlin, in the eastern ; part of this county, were destroyed by fire on last ! Friday morning, together with a quantity of furni- ' ture, fjdder, Sic. We did not learn how the fire J orignated, but suppose it was accidental. .... .

Last week the Court of Pleas and Quarter Ses sions for this county was in session, and on Tues day county business was transacted. Taxes for the next year were levied as follows : On 100 value of real estate for county purpose, lOcts Poor tax School Railroad 5 5 20 ti Total on real estate 40 25 " 15 1 10 " 40 90 On each Poll for county purpose " " Poor tax " " School ' " Railroad Total on Poll Making tlic whole count- ?l 30. To this is to be ad ded the State tax of 20 cents on real estate aud 80 cts on the poll making altogether S2 30. In addition to the above, the Court levied taxes as follows for railroad purpose: On every Piano in use 50 cents; on the value of (Juld and Silver Plate 1 3 per cent.; on the value of pleasure Carriages J per cent.; on the value of each Cold Watch 1 per cent.; on Silver do. 1 per cent.; on every dollar's worth of Liquors, Wines, Cordials, &.C., brought into this State from other States and sold in this county, 5 per cent.; on every dollar's worth of domestic liquors, wines, cordials, &c, 2 per cent.; on each show, circus, &c $17 00 ; every Peddler on foot S25. The following gentlemen were elected the Special Court for the ensuing year: John Walker, 1J. W. Alexander, Chas. Over man, II. L. DeArmond, John P. Ross. The following were elected a Finance Commit tee: S. W. Caldwell, John Phelan, H. W. Alexan der. And the following were elected the Uoatd of Superintendants of Common Schools: Jno. P. Iloss, It. L. DeArmond, C. J.Wilson, 31. A. Parks, Jno. M. Potts, W. G. Harnett, W. McCombs. This Board met and organized by the re-election of John P. Itoss as Chairman. Mr lioss takes a deep interest in the success of the Common School system, and we are gratified to know that he is re tained in the position of Chairman, the duties of which he has satisfactorily discharged for a num ber of years past. Arrested. A man named I). F. Davis was ar rested in this town last week and carried before the County Court, then in session, and bound over to the Superior Court to answer for expressing im proper sentiments sentiments offensive to south ern men. We learn that Davis lives in a neighbor hood in this countv known as Fcrrel-town. I Ik: 11 Point Female School. We have re ceived a Circular of this Institution, formerly un der the management of Ilev. W. I. Langdon, dee'd, but now under the control of Prof. Lander, late of (Ireensboro Female Colleire. Prof. Lander is a native of Lincoln county. He is a ripe scholar and cnjo3's a high reputation as an instructor. "Vet the Herald (N. Y.) has been the most ef ficient supporter of Democracy and democartic candidates and Democratic Presidents of any pa per in the Ciiion. It is believed to have done more to secure Buchanan's election than any other. Fa yettciiile Observer. How is that? Docs the Observer not know that the Herald supported Fremont in the last Presidential election, and that for some time after the election it denounced both the democratic par ty and Mr Buchanan without stint ? Is that the way to support one's friends? It is getting to be a common thing for opposition papers to quote what they are pleased to term "democratic papers" against the democratic party the Herald and others of that stripe have been so quoted and it is as unjust as it is unfair. Some newspapers, whose editors arc bitter enemies of the democratic party, (made so by disappointment, perhaps,) pro fess to be democratic in order more effectually to stab and injure the party. We believe the X. Y. Herald to be one of that kind. t-.T' The Fayetteville Observer denies that Mr Gilmer voted for any man for Speaker who voted for Sherman. We laid the paper away containing our authority for the charge, but we are unable to find it at present. We have taken steps to inform no disposition to misrepresent Mr Gilmer he has , . sins c:iiiii"Ii to answer lor. The gentleman who wrote out the proceed ingsof the Lincoln democratic meeting informs us that an error was made by mixing the names of some of those composing different delegations.

He also informs us t,1:lt !ie '"tended to insert after the order for t,e proceedings to be published in the "Charlotte Iinncrat" t,,e request that "other democratic pa pers please copy." This request was not in the criminal or we would have so published it. " -1 frST' Judge Caldwell has been elected President of the Branch Bank of North Carolina at Salisbury. : Bather Late.

We learn from a Chapel Hill letter in the Raleigh Daily Press that the Rev. C. F. Deems, who was elected Frofessor of History in the X. C. University, declines to accept. Preparations for the next Commencement have been made by the students. The Senior Class have electedJoshua G.

C, and M W Tompkins of Miss., of the Dialectic Society, and R L Pugh of La., D L Jiggits and Geo B Hunt of Miss., of the Philanthropic Society. Jno W Graham has been appointed Sophomore Tutor in the place of W L Alexander, resigned. A Washington correspondent of the Col umbia Carolinian writes as fojlows: A vast number of speculations are indulged in, in reference to the Charleston Convention. Indi ana going so strong for Judge Douglas is consider ed a very bad omen for Gen. Lane. Douglas is considered now to have the inside track, and Breckinridge and Fitzpatrick are his most for midable competitors. It is said that Wise will have the Virginia votes, which is thought to put Hunter in the bnck-ground. Breckinridge is said to be the favorite of the Administration. So far so good; but, on the other hand, this gentleman is said to have damaged himself Xorth by "his late speech at Frankfort. Douglas and Breckinridge are the two most prominent opponents for the nomination at this moment, but it will be difficult, if not impossible, for Judge Douglas to obtain the two-thirds vote necessary to nominate. Then, when Douglas finds he cannot get the prize, comes the chance for some Southern man, who has not antagonized specially with Douglas and many think that man will be Fitzpatrick. JEST Several Xorthem Advertising Agencies are wasting their time and postage stamps by sending us advertisements unaccompanied with the money. We don't even read their letters before committing them to the stove. Those who send advertise ments with the cash need not state how many in sertions shall be given for the amount of mouey we regulate that according to the regular rates. "Prof." Ilolloway and "Prof." Wood can't have any more advertisements inserted in this paper un der any circumstances. Mr. Seward's Ovation. The great leader of Xorthem fanaticism met with a grand reception in Xew York, on his return from a recent tour in FiUrope. His "irrepressible conflict" doctrines have almost exalted him to the position of a demi god in the hearts of northern idolators; and upon this flood-tide of fanaticism, which is now wc trust at its maximum height, he hopes to ride into the Presidential chair. But nature, if nothing else, has set a bound to this fanaticism "which it cannot pass." Its foundation is laid in ignorance; and when truth, founded upon a correct knowledge of the subject, shall be forced home upon the minds of the people as it will be if the Union out lives the present storm then shall the hopes aud aspirations of hypocrites and traitors be brought down to the dust ! Mr Seward's sun of fame and glory is now in its ze'nith; let him make the most of it. Leaders of factions hold their position by a frail tenure; and their fame which is obtained by imposing upon the credulity, ignorance and preju dices of the multitude, is short-lived. Danton had his day; Bobbesperre had his; and Mr Seward is having his; though, unlike them, he may not meet the same deserved end. He may feel secure now, surrounded by his worshippers; but false prophets in politics as well as in religion, are doomed to a shameful defeat. Pompcy boastingly said that he had but to stamp his foot, and men would rise up around him to defend his cause; but when Caesar crossed the Rubicon and entered Rome, Pompey found it convenient to leave, with the taunt from one of his own party that " it was time to stamp his foot " It may be so with Mr Seward. There is a greater than Caesar with the South. For l he w!&tern Democrat. Suicide. In the Southeastern part of Lincoln county, on the 2d instant, a free mulatto named Thos. Taylor, committed suicide by shooting him self 111 the throat with a pistol. It took place at the house of Mr Wm Hunt. Taylor was a dis tiller by trade, and had the fever and ague some thrc or four weeks, fur the cure of which he used spirits, without regard to the time of the fever. This, it is thought, deranged him; and during one of those deranged spells, he committed the act. in Mr Hunt's yard, and in presence of one of Mr Hunt's sons. L. Shocking Affair. We have just heard of a most shocking affair, which occurred recently in the edge of Rockingham county near the Guilford line. .The particulars, so far as we have been able to gather them, are these: A man by the name Willams, a Justice of the Peace and member of the Special Court of Rockingham, had seduced a young lady (whose name our informant had forgotten) under promise of marriage. In order to avoid the fulfillment of the promise he determined, it is supposed, to murder her. The girl was missing arid no inquiry led to any intelligence concerning her until recently her comb was found in Haw river, near Williams,' which fact coupled with other circumstances, created suspicion that Wil liams had made way with her. The river was drag ged but she was not found. Subsequently, a plant bed, which Williams had burned for the purpose of sowing tobacco seeds was searched, and among the ashes was found the rings and necklace clasp that were known to have belonged to the girl pai tially melted, and also some substance, pronounced to be part of a human body. Upon these discov eries Williams was arrested and is now in jail. The above are all the facts our informant could give us. We learn that Williams will have an ex amination to day, when the facts will be more fully .brought out. IFgh J'oint (Ar. C) Reporter. We learn that Williams was carried before Judge Shepherd at Greensboro last week, and bailed. Cabarrus Court. The County Court of Cabar rus was in session last week. J. L. Bundy, Esq., was unanimously elected Sheriff, to fill the vacan cy made by the affliction of Mr M. 31. Plunket. J. W. Rogers was elected Coroner. Daniel Coleman, A. J. York, John Shimpock, John M. Black and L. B. Kvimminger, Esqrs., were elected Special Court. The Taxes were as follows: One cent on $100 value, and eight cents on each Poll as a Poor tax: ; twelve cents on 5100 value, and forty cents on ! each poll. County uses; seventeen cents on 100 value, and seventy-two cents on each poll for the use of Common Schools, being au increase of five cents on every 100 value, and twenty cents on each poll. JSalltlury Watchman. CONGRESS. . The following is the resolution offered by Mr Douglas for the protection of each State and Terri tory against invasion by the citizens of any other State or Territory: Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to report a bill for the protection of each State and Territory of the Union against in vasion by the authorities or inhabitants of any other State or Territory; and for the suppression and punishment of conspiracies or combinations in any State or Territory with intent to invade, as sail, or molest the government, inhabitants, proper ty, or institutions of any other State or Territory of the Union. In the Senate, on the 23d inst., the above reso lution was called up, and Mr Douglas made a long speech, in which he took the ground that it was the duty of Congress to pass laws giving the Presi dent power to use the land and naval forces of the government to repel invasions between different States, and also to make it criminal to enter into conspiracies or combinations in any State or Terri tory, with intent to invade a State, or molest or disturb its government, its peace, its citizens, its property or its institutions such offences to be punished by indictment in the United States courts, and confinement in the prisons or penitentiaries of the State or territory where the conspiracies might be formed. He said the Harper's Ferry crime was the natural, logical, inevitable result of the doc trines and teachings of the republican party, as explained and enforced in their platform, their partisan presses, their pamphlets and books, and especially in the speeches of their leaders in and out of Congress. 31 r Fessenden, Rep., replied to Mr Douglas, deny ing that the republican party were responsible for Brown's Virginia raid, and advocated legislation to prevent similar occurrences. He said he thought Mr Douglas was influenced by ulterior motives in making this speech at this time, when the subject was in the hands of an able committee, appointed to investigate the affair. 3Ir Douglas responded, defending the institution of slavery, and denouncing the Black Republicans. In the House, 31r Barksdale, of Miss., made a Southern speech, in which he reiterated that he was in favor of resisting the inauguration of a Black Republican President. 3Ir Pryor's excoriation of Jas. Gordon Bennett, editor of the X. Y. Herald, was very severe. 31r Sherman declined to respond to any questions un less 3Ir Clark would withdraw his resolution, which declares that no man who endorsed Helper's book is fit to be Speaker of the House. 3Ir Clark, of 3iissouri, said that 31 r Sherman had several op portunities of explaining his position. If there was bad blood, as had been charged, it was pro duced by the Republicans before Congress assem bled, by the shedding of good blood by old Brown's party in Virginia. He said that 3Ir Sherman had passed his day of grace. 3Ir Sherman and his friends had been indicted before the country, and must stand their trial. He never would withdraw his resolution. In the House on the 25th, one ballot was had for Speaker, with the following result : Sherman 105, Bocock 51, Smith, of X. 0., 26; necessary to a choice 108. In the Senate, on the 26th, a debate sprung up between 3Icssrs Davis and Douglas, in which the former intimated that the resolution of the latter would enable the Federal Executive to encroach on States' Rights, and in that case would change the present policy. Jlr Douglas met the imputa tion with great energy. In the House, 3Ir Hamilton withdrew his name as a candidate for Speaker. Three ballots were had for Speaker, the last one resulting as follows: Sherman 100, Bocock 51, Smith, of X. C, 33, Gilmer 4 necessary to a choice 114. S. E. W. Pharr has baen appointed Postmas ter at Kirkland, Cabarrus county, in place of R. Kirkpatrick, resigned. MECKLENBURG AGRICULTURAL SO CIETY. The Mecklenburg Agricultural Society convened in the Court House on Saturday last, 28th. On motiou of Gen. Young, J E Brown, JM Hutchison, W A Owens, John Walker and J L Springs were ap pointed a committee to prepare a Constitution and By- Laws for the government ot the Society, and report to the next meeting. The report of the Executive Committee detailing their action relative to changing the Fair Grounds, and the report of the committee to examine the books and vou chers of the Treasurer, were submitted and adopted. The Treasurer's report was read and accepted, and L J Grier, J E Brown and II L Alexander were appoint ed a committee to audithis accounts. On motion of P J Lowrie, the Executive committee was directed to reconvey to Benj Morrow the old Fair Grounds for $250, reserving the fence around the same.

A committee of three, consisting of Wm Johnston, W R Myers and L J Grier, was appointed to devise waj-s and means to pay the debt of the Society. This com mittee made the following report, which was adopted: Resolved, That each member of this Society be re quested to contribute an amount not exceeding Ten Dollars, to be paid on the debt now due by the Society. Resolved, That each member not contributing as above, be requested to loan the Society, upon the Due Bill of the Treasurer, any amount he may conveniently spare for twelve months. Resolved, That the annual dues of each member be Two Dollars heiafter instead of One as heretofore, ex cept life members. Resolved, That the Treasurer carry out the foregoing resolutions, and that each member be requested to call at his office. Resolved, That the Fair Grounds and premises, with all the property of the Society be, and the same are hereby pledged, for any debt the Executive Committee may find it necessary to contract for the purpose of discharging any existing debt or debts against the Society. On motion of Col. J. M. Potts it was Resolved, That the members of this Society advise the Executive Committee to enlarge the List of Premi ums to the full extent of their in the vegetable department. means, aud especially On motion of C. W. Hoyle it was Resolved. That the Executive Committee be instruct ed to offer a special premium for the best Southern Seedling Apples, as being better adapted to oar climate. By J. M.

We find the following telegraphic dispatch in the Raleigh Daily Press of Saturday: Washington, Friday, Jan. 27. 5 o'clock. In the House a hard struggle is go ing on for Speaker. , Smith f N. C. is ahead he will probably be elected. Second Dispatch. 6 o'clock. There was no election for Speaker. Smith received 112, Sherman 106, scattering 10. We learned from a passenger who came through on the Express train Sunday night, that the House ad journed from Friday till Monday morning, consequently there was no ballot on Saturday. Our informant states that Smith lacked only two votes of an election. Mr Smith is the member from the first District in this State, having defeated Dr Shaw, dem. He is an old line whig of the straitest sect, and is said to be a high toned, honorable gentleman. We should hail with gratification his election over a black republican. It appears by the vote that the national democrats and southern opposition united the majority went over to the minority. We think it probable Smith was elected 011 Monday.
