WESTBRNTDEMOCEAT, CHARLOTTE, N. G. ft WisUxn SJrmotrat. CHARLOTTE, X. C. ME. CLINGMAN'S SPEECH. On the 7th and 8th inst., Mr Clingman of X. C, delivered a speech in the U. S. Senate on the question of slavery in the Territories. We append a synopsis: ' .. i r c, m k ' m Mr Chngnn expressed his dissent . from the TlcWS Ol Jir iuvis. iik iiiuujiii' averv Lv tue revival oi any the passage of the Missouri compromise, rnor did it sufiicc to say that the decision made in the Th-pd Sc'lt case was conclusive asainst the doctrine of non-i'itervention, since if it were admitted that j under that decision Congress was authorized to j intervene, it by no means followed that Congress was bound in duty or expediency to do so when no , imperative necessity demanded it Suppose the ; . . .1 1 1 "1 1.1. .1 - 'MI : Supreme Court had decided that the Missouri re striction was constitutional, would Southern men have admitted that the Northern Democracy were lienceforth free to insist on the Wiltnot proviso ? "Would they not rat!., r have still held their allies to the doctrine of non-intervention? But protec tion was not now demanded by the South. The till of Mr Blown protecting slave property in Kansas could not, so far as he was informed, com mand the vote of a single Senator beyond that of its author. Already slavery was protected by Territorial law in New Mexico, and even if it was prohibited in Kansas, the South had lost nothing as compared with the Missouri compromise line, which she was once willing to extend to the Pa cific. Kansas was north of that line. Mr Clingman, in the course of his argument, read from a speech delivered by Mr Calhoun in the Senate in the year 1848, and in which he ad vocated the policy of "non-action" on the part of Congress daring the Territorial condition of Ore gon, as being the dictate of constitutional law, reason and justice. He thought the difference between the two wings of the Northern and Southern Democracy was not sufficiently wide to justify a separation in their political action, since, if not precisely cninci dentin their present construction of the Cincinnati platform it was plain that the' were marching by lines which would at length converge at the same point. The Southern Democracy hold that the Supreme Court has already decided against the power of a Territorial Legislature to impair in any way or in any degree, the rights of slavery in the Territories of the I'. States. The Northern I democracy deny this proposition, but declare when the Supreme Court so decides they wiil conform their action to the ruling of that tribunal. Mr Clingman thought it v. as politically impossi ble to pass any Constitutional laws for the protec tion ol' slavery in a Territory where the people were so hostile to the institution, and even if passed they would be inoperative and void in the presence of a local sentiment opposed to their execution and enforcement. Moreover, it was con ceded on sdl hands that the people of a Territory might prohibit slavery in proceeding to the forma tion of a constitution and State government thus placing it in their power to abolish slavery at the very juncture when alone the South could hope for an increment of political strength. Slaveholding Territories were valuable only as t lie nurseries of slaveholding States, but who could not predict that a Territory in which slavery had been protected against the will of the inhabitants would be suc ceeded by a State rendered only the more embit tered against the South? During the last ten years non-intervention had bevn the settled policy of the Democratic party, and he was opposed to any new construction which would have for its inevitable effect to divide that party, in which the hopes of the Constitution and the I'nion were re posed. The Northern Democracy- had heretofore fought gallantly for the rights of the South, and if they were not as potential in all the non-slave-liolding States as they onec were, it was only fair to remember that their weakness sprang from the fidelity with which they had adhered to the Con stitution in the face of fanatical opposition. THE CAMPAIGN. The (lubcrnatorial canvass in this State is pro gressing with cheering prospects for the democracy. The nomination of Bell and Everett by the opposi tion has failed to create any enthusiasm among the people Probably the failure to get Gov. Graham nominated is the cause. Gov. Ellis is in excellent spirits. From all sections we learn that the ad valorem hobby is losing ground the people don't like the idea of having their horses, cows, farming implements, furniture, &c , taxed. The Prosper t. 1 he Standard says : We have recently heard from Forsyth, Chatham, Johnson, Pitt, Craven, Lenoir, Greene, and other counties, and we can truly say that the accounts are all encouraging. Mr Pool's proposition to tax every thiuy meets with no favor in the Democratic ranks, while to many of his own party it is nut acceptable. Mr Pool, no doubt, thought that he had discovered and was using the Democratic ad valorem, but the gentleman is mistaken. To this we willadd the testimony of a gentleman, with whom we conversed, who, having travelled over many counties in the West, says that he has not met the first Democrat who will vote for John Pool; but he found many Whigs who are opposed j to Mr Pool's system of ad valorem, and will vote i against hvcu.--Goldsloro Rough A'otes. j Gov.

Some of his votes on Abolition petitions will not be any recommendation to the Southern people. It is a significant fact that Harper's Weekly, a short time since, published a series of portraits of "prominent candidates for the Republican nomination at Chicago," and John Bell is among them! He will, doubtless, receive the votes of many republicans, and thus secure several North ern States to the Democratic ticket. Rich. Enq'r. HON. JOHN BELL'S RECORD. We copy the following from the New York Times: "In 18"5, Mr Bell alone of the Tennessee dele gation advocated the reception of Abolition peti tions, and was sustained by his constituents. In 1841, he became Secretary of War under Presi dent Harrison, but retired after dis death, and re mained in private life until 1S47; when he was elected Vnited States Senator, and re-elected iu 1853. lie opposed the Mexican War, supported the compromise measures of 1850, opposed the Nebraska bill and the repeal of the Missouri Com promise in 1854, and denounced the Leconipton policy of the Administration in 1858." After giving the honorable gentleman so fair a record for Northern votes, the following announce ment, which immediately ensues, will look either like blackest ingratitude or a just appreciation of the unworthiness of a candidate who submits his claim to public favor upon his life-long career of lukewarmness and not unfreqnently actual opposi tion to measures favorable to his section. The Times says: "At the North he will be less formidable, not from any lack of personal popularity, but because bis party position does not rej resent any f-trong and earuest sentiment of the Northern people." His nomination was one of the weakest that could have been made. There is nothing in his life that can inspire the slightest enthusiasm. He ranks with the Etheredges and Gilniers of the South, and would be as far from commanding Southern votes in the House, as were these gentle men. If the Constitutional Union party had taken a candidate who presented the sanm political record as that of Mr Smith, of North Carolina, he might have stood some chance. Vol. Carolinian. A Bid for the Chicago Nomination." Mr John Bell in his speech to the sereuaders in Phila delphia, said he regarded the majority of the Re publican party as devoted to this Constitution and th is Un ion . Millard Fillmore gone over to the Black Ukpublicans. The Chicago Press & Tribune says, "it is reported on what seems to be good au thority, that ex-President Fillmore has signified his intention to support the nominee of the Chi cago convention, whether it shall be Bates, Lin coln, Chase or Seward. It is even said that if Seward shall be nominated, Fillmore will stump Pennsylvania in his behalf!" Upon this, the Buf falo Express (Filmore's organ.) remarks that while it has reason to suppose Mr Fillmore will give his support to the nominee of the Chicago conven tion, be he whom he 11133', "calls for a range of imagination too wide" to believe that theex-Presi-dont will "take the stump" in favor of Seward.

The most saga cious and reflecting persons argue that there is a ; strong minority at the North, whick, though a J minority, contains its full share of character, influ ence and wealth, who are disposed to maintain and respect the rights and property of the South, and respec wno n the event of a civil war, will confront the enemies of the South at their own thresholds. " m,c every portion or a ortnern otate win ue weakened by the presence of a strong minority in opposition, the whole population of the South will be united in opinion and purpose. As to offset this, the abolitionists count confidently, in the contingency of war between the two sections, that they will find ready recruits and allies in .nearly the whole servile population of the Southern States, They are perhaps reckoning without their host; but, in any event, what page of history contains such horrors as those in which fanaticism is seeking to involve this ouce happiest of countries? Rich. Despatch. rp.i'lochAn inn nevnt.Pfl the ARRIVAL OP THE JAPAN EMBASSY AT WASHINGTON. Washington, May 14. At an early hour this morning a dense multitude assembled here, in cluding many ladies, and intense excitement was everywhere exhibited. Flags were flying in all directions. The Treaty box was the first thing brought from the boat. Then followed the Japanese under the escort of several naval officers. Tbey passed, as they landed, between the American and Japanese flags. Having approached to where Captain Buchanan was standing, he, in presence of his brother officers, welcomed them in the name of the President of the United States and of the couutrv. reciprocating the kind feelings which were ! exhibited by the Japanese government when the Treaty was made with the gallant .Ferry. As an humble participator in this interesting occasion, he could but tecl proud ot Deing me medium 01 this reception on the part of his countrymen At 1H o'clock a gun from the Navy Yard announced that the Steamer was in sight, where upon there was a general rush to the wharf. While the Philadelphia approached the Marine Band on her upper deck played the "Star Spangled Banner." There was a pause for a quarter of an hour to allow the arrangements on shore to be fully matured. Mayor Berrett then went on board, and upon being introduced to th Embassadors extended to them a eordial welcome in the name of the citizens of Washington, and in reply they acknowledged their thanks for the honor and the compliment. The Japanese on the upper deck were evidently delighted. One of them was busy in taking sketches. An American Daguerrotypist had fixed "his camera for taking likenesses. The greatest excitement was everywhere exhibited. The Club boats on the river with the American and Japanese flags flying, added to the brilliancy and effect of the scene. The dignitaries after being thus addressed returned through the interpreter their warmest acknowledgements. Whilst these ceremonies were progressing a salute was fired from the battery. The Military, presenting a beautiful appearance, were arrayed, on the side of the plank-way nearly opposite on which the visitors walked to the gate where the Cortege was formed, the order of which was as follows: First President's mounted Guard; then the Japanese in hacks: the Treaty in a large j red Morocco box in a square cage, was carried on j the top of an omnibus the Marines and Military j of the District following it. The music of several ! bands was playing and the oidewalks of Penn- sylvania Avenue were crowded. The windows ! were all jammed with spectators and the excitement ! continued intense throughout the whole distance from the Navy Yard to the quarters provided for the Japanese at Willard's which they reached about 2i o'clock. So dense was the crowd of pedestrians that the carriages with the Japanese occupied over an hour in reaching Willard's. The resident population were more excited and enthusiastic than they ever were before and the march from the landing to the Hotel was a perfect ovation. The reception rooms at Willard's were densely thronged with the wives, sisters and daughters of the dignitaries of our Government who assembled there to receive the welcome visitors. Over an hour was consumed in exchange of courtesies before the tired travelers were allowed to withdraw to their quarters. m Government Defalcation. Within the last few days it has been ascertained that the Post Mas ter of New York (Isaac V Fowler) is minus in his cash settlements with the government to the tune of 5155,000. The New York Hearld puts it down at from 160,000 to 210,000, observing very truly that the actual amount will not be discover ed until the books shall have undergone thorough and searching examination. As the offence is a felony under the law and therefore subjects the culprit to a criminal prosecution and to degrading punishment, if convicted, the defaulter, to escape indictment and punishment has withdrawn himself, for the present, from the reach of process, and the officers of justice who have been armed with the requisite authority to arrest him, have yet been un able to do so. It is stated that Mr Fowler has been the dupe of people whom he trusted, that his good feeling has led him into error, and that he has trusted many, who have at length deceived him and thus caused his embarrassment. The Higiit of Impudence. At an Opposition meeting lately held iu Newborn, it was cooly re solved, that the appointment by the Democratic party of partizans to office for party services, de serves the condemnation of every patriot! That comes with a bad grace from a body, every mem ber of which has sworn by the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God not to appoint to office any one who has not taken similar oaths, if to be found, and who is not a Third Degree member, like John Pool, their candidate for Governor. This, we re peat, comes with a bad grace from an organization who could not make a common constable of even the immortal Washington if he lived and refused to take their horrid oaths ! What next? Salis bury Banner. Great Meteoric Shower. A meteoric show er, which appears to have extended over the great er part of Eastern Ohio, fell on Tuesday last. In New Concord four stones, weighing from forty to sixty pounds each, fell near the Central Ohio Railroad, burying themselves in the ground to the depth of about two feet. At Claysville stones of the same quality, but in greater quantities, fell. Near McConnellsville several boys observed a huge stone descend to the earth, which they avefred looked like a red ball, leaving a line of smoke in its wake. A gentleman walking in his field near New Concord, heard a terrific crash like thunder, which lasted half a minute, and then plainly saw a large body decending through the air in an ob lique direction, with a velocity apparently much greater than it could have attained by its own mo mentum. Going to the spot where it touched the ground, he found a rock weighing over fifty pounds imbedded in the earth a depth of two feet. The stones were found over fifty miles apart and are all alike, being fragmentary, as if just broken, of a bright grey color inside, with a dark metalic sur face, very compact and heavy. The noise of the explosion was heard over four or five counties, in some places being taken for thunder, in others shaking the ground like an earthquake, and at New Concord causing such a violent concussion that the houses were heavily jarred and many of the doors burst open, considerably frigtening the people, lac course 01 tne meteoric fragments !' was Itom northwest to southeast, meteoric shower will attract much investigation among men of science. bo unusual a attention and Capture of a Slaver.

Davidson as President, and D. I C- Harden as Cashier. LETTER PBON HON. A. H. STEPHENS. A letter from the Hon A. H. Stephens, in reply to one from several gentlemen in Bibb county, Ga., in which he reviews the exciting questions of the times has been published. We give below the conclusion of the letter: "There is a tendency everywhere, not only at the North, but at the South, to strife, dissension, disorder, and anarchy. It is against this tenden cy that the sober minded and reflecting men every where should now be called upon to guard. My opinion then is, that delegates ought to be sent to the adjourned convention at Baltimore. The demand made at Charleston by the seceders' ought not to be insisted upon. Harmony being restored on this point, a nomination can doubtless be made of some man whom the party everywhere can support with the same zeal,' and the same ardor with which they entered and waged the contest in 1856, when the sama principles were involved. If, in this there be a failure, let the responsi bility not rest upon us. Let our hands be clear of all blame. Let there be no cause for casting censure at our door. If, in the end the great National Democratic party the strong ligament, which has so long bound and held the union to gether shaped its policy, and controlled its des tinies and to which we have so often looked with a hope' that seldom failed, as the only party North on which to rely when Constitutional rights were in peril, shall be destroyed, let it not be said to us in the midst of the disasters that may ensue, 'you did it!" In any and every event let not the reproach of Punic faith rest upon our name. It everything else has to go down, let our untarnished honor at least survive the wreck. Georgia and the Conventions. Judge Benning, the Chairman of the Georgia delegation which withdrew from the Charleston Convention, recommends, in behalf of the majority of the Geor gia delegation, that a convention of the Democratic party of Georgia be called, and that that conven tion appoint a set of delegates to attend both the Richmond and the Baltimore Convention there seeming to be a disposition on the part of the latter convention to concede something on the platform. Judge Benning proposes this course in the view that the Richmond Convention will hold itself sim ply in a position of advisement, ready to be chang ed into one of co-operation with the Baltimore Convention, if any fair understanding can be arriv ed at in relation to the platform. Mobile. Ala., May 14. Thirty-five leading aud promiuent gentlemen, including ex-Gov WSu ston, Hon. John Forsyth, Dr. Nott, Judge Mc Kinstry and others, sign a call for a State Conven tion to meet at Selma, June 4th, to appoint dele gates to the National Democratic Convention at Baltimore May 15. A very large meeting of the Democ racy of Mobile, Alabama, took place last night, which denounced the course of the Alabama dele gation in withdrawing from the Charleston Con vention. Resolutions were offered and unani mously adopted, that the Democracy of Alabama shall be represented at the Baltimore Convention. Delegates were appointed from Mobile to attend the State Convention to be held at Selma, Alabama, on the 4th of June. BEAR FIGHT IN A MENAGERIE. A frightful conflict occurred on Tuesday in the "Old Adams" menagerie at New York. J. C. Adams, known as "Old Adams," the California hunter, bear-carcher and tamer, had a fight with one of his bears and was seriously injured. The menagerie has receutly been opened to the public, and consists mainly ot California animals, which were captured and trained by him during a hunt ing expedition of four years. There is a large ring in the centre of the tent, formed by a railiug, and in this ring, amo.ig other animals, are a large number of bears, which Adams has trained to per form various amusing tricks, such as going up a tree and siting in a chair, turning summersaults, &e. Some of them seem not to have forgotten wholly their old habits, and are exceedingly cross. One of them an immenoe grizzly bear, three years of age, is called Colonel Fremont, and as Mr Ad ams was exhibiting on Tuesday afternoon, he struck this bear with his whip at a moment when he was peculiarly savage, whereupon hisbearship resented the affront and seized Adams by the arm, greatly to the terror of the female spectators, many of whom ran off screaming. The bears are all chained of course, but unfortunately Colonel Fremont had sufficient room to get a good hold on Mr Adam's left arm, and inflicted a serious wound. A regular bear fight followed, and Mr Adams succeeded in extricating himself, and the bear was put into a harness so that he would not inflict any further injury upon anybody. The fight lasted some time, and was truly frightful, the bear growling or roar ing in a terrific style. The injury to Mr Adams's arm would not be so serious were it not for the re markable fact that the upper portion of his skull was torn off by a fierce Rocky Mountain grizzly bear about five years ago, from which he has suf fered much pain constantly, which the wound upou the arm naturally increases. He is, however, a man of extraordinary nerve, and, in spite of the injuries from which he is suffering, continues his exhibition. Produce for Ireland. The accounts confirm the advices previously received, in regard to the suffering in many parts of Ireland from a scarcity of the necessaries of life. In some districts the authorities had interferred, and, with the aid of other benevolent persons had removed the youBg people of both sexes, giving them temporary employment in England until the return of another crop should obviate all danger of famine. The Government returns give the deficiency in the principal Irish crops for the yar 1859, at 278,000 quarters of wheat, 783,000 quarters of oats, 108,000 quarters of barley, 563,000 tons of potatoes, 903,000 tons of turnips, and 380,000 tons of hay. The current season is very backward and unpromising, in some places not a siugle green blade of grass having appeared at the latest dates. Legislators to be Indicted. The Legisla ture just adjourned in New York have the dis creditable reputation of beiug the most corrupt body of public men that ever sat at Albany to make laws for the people. They had no regard at all to the rights of the city of New York, but pas sed bills directly in the face of remonstrance from those mostly affected by the enactments. Since they adjourned there has been considerable public comment upon their acts. The New York Sun says that Attorney General Myers has been fur nished with evidence believed to be sufficient to secure the indictment aud punishmeut of six State Senators and eight members of Assembly for cor ruption iu the performance of their legislative duties during the session. A young lady returning late from a concert, as it was raining, ordered the coachman to drive close to the sidewalk, but was still unable to step across the gutter. "1 can lift you over it," said Coachy. "Oh, no; I am too heavy," said she. "Lord, marui, I am used to lifting barrels of sugar; replied John, For the Western Democrat. ANSON AND UNION SENATORIAL CONVENTION. Pursuant to call, the Democracy of the Senato rial district composed of Auson and Union, met in Conventional Meadow Branch Church in Union county, on Saturday the 12tb inst. Both counties were pretty fully represented in person or by proxy. . On motion, Col. Joseph White of Anson was called to the chair, and Messrs J. F. Hough of Union and W. H.

On motion of a delegate from Union, the chair man appointed the following gentlemen a commit tee on resolutions, viz: W. L. Ledbetter and R. T. Bennet of Anson, and J. M. Davis, J. Lee, and A. F. Stevens of Union. During the absence of the committee, Messrs Rushing, Ashcraft, Lee, Crawford . and Bennett addressed the convention briefly, but with evident good effect. The committee on business having returned, their chairman, W. L Ledbetter, in a few explan atory remarks, submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, 1st, That we approve of the Admin istration of our worthy chief magistrate, James Buchanan. 2nd, That having entire confidence in the in tegrity and sound democracy of John W. Ellis, we hail with delight his re-nomination for the office of Governor of North Carolina. 3d, That in the present excited condition of na tional affairs we deem it inexpedient to disturb any of the existing compromises of our State Constitu tion. 4th, That we recommend to the people of this Senatorial District Dr. Jas. J. Williams of Union, as a suitable man to represent them in the next Legislature. 5th, That we will use every honest endeavor to elect our candidates county, State and national. On motion, J.

Wil. lianison was riding to the city from Chesterfield, on yesterday, in a barouch, having in his possession collections to the amount of some $250, when within three miles of the corporation, a woman, appearing much fatigued and throughly drenched with rain, hailed him, and asked to be taken into the vehicle. Glad to do so good a service to the poor creature, he consented. She handed him ber basket, and was about to step in, when Mr Williamson discovered that her face was not altogether feminine and that her feet, as "she" hoisted her dress, were encased in the rather indelicate symbols of masculinity bots, and of a very heavy calibre, lie had the presence of mind to drop his whip, and to request the pretended lady to pick it up for him, and he took the advantage of her position to give the horse a starting jerk, and went off at a rapid speed.
