Shield, who left his resilience, near this place, some two or three years since. When last heard of, he was in Petersburg, Va. Any person knowing of his whereabouts, will confer a special favor, by addressing John Shield, Fairfax C. H., Va. Fairfax jYews. It is said that Mrs Lawrence, the wife of the new Minister to England, upon be ing presented to the royal children, caught them up and hugged them, with those terms of endearment familiar. to mothers; and that this conduct was the subject of a stately reproof from the lord chamberlain, to the effect that not even the loyal Eng lish were suffered to .caress those who might one day be their sovereigns. Mrs Stallings was very much astonished on reading this statement. Gracious knows," exclaimed the old lady, "I think the lord chambermaid, as they call him, might a saved his perliteness. I cant see no harm in muching the little things, if they behave themselves like good children; and for my part,s I would just as leave hug 'em and kissem as any body else's babies, pervided their face was clean." NORTH CAROLINIAN. Wm H. Bajrnet Kriltor and Proprietor. FAYETTEVILLE, X. C. ZIZAB.CS 23, 1850. T. B. PALMER Is our Agent for obtain ing subscribers and advertisements in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. The New Tork Express lately published a synopsis of the proceedings of an abolition meet ing, sent him as having been held in North Caro lina, "Ogle" county. The Express was of course very much tickled at the idea ; but it is beyond a doubt that the editor was quizzed by the boys at Chapel Hill. tHT We learn from the Wilmington Aurora that a subscription has been started for a ball in that town, complimentary to Messrs Webster and Dickinson, U. S. Senators, for their stand in support of the Constitution. The list is head ed by Mr Saml. Potter, with $50. OO-MR MILES, the great lecturer on Mnemo techr.y, or the art of memory, (who will he re collected by those who composed his classes here,) is lecturing in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he has full classes, and gives the highest satisfaction; so much so that he has been solicit ed to repeat his courses, says the Edinburgh Advertiser. Letters or papers from the United States to Mr Miles, should be addressed "Pliny Miles, Edinburgh, Scotland." MR SEWARD, the Senator from New York, in hi speech on the admission of California, &,c, aid " Our own experience has proved the dan gerous tendency and influence of slavery. All our apprehensions of dangers, present and future, begin and end with slavery. If slavery, limited as it yet is, now threatens ts subvert the consti tution, how can we, as wise and prudent states men, enlarge its boundaries and increase its in fluence, and thus increase its already impending dangers?. Whether, then, I regard merely the welfire of the future inhabitants of the new ter ritories, or the security and welfare of the whole people of the United States, ot the welfare of the whole family of mankind, I cannot consent to introduce slavery into any part of this continent which as mow exempt from what seems to me so great an evil." These are his reasons, in short hand, for op posing slavery in all its forms, and particularly its extension into any territory where it does not now exist. He admits, however, that he would vote to admit California, even had her constitution not prohibited slavery. Again : He says that the South need not com plain that power is leaving her and being added to the North : the slave States have always been losing power, and will continue to lose it as long as they have any to lose ! However unpleasant this assertion, it is no less true as regards the past; and time only can tell how it may be for the future. Mr S. says that "slavery must give way emancipation is inevitable, and is near. Wheth er it be peaceful or violent depends upon wheth er it is hastened or hindered. All measures that fortify slavery, tend to consummate violence." What are we to infer from this ? Why, that if the slaveholders demand their rights and pri vileges, they are committing violence; hence inviting and justifying forcible emancipation. Such is the only construction we can put upon Mr S's extraordinary opinions. THE LATE LORD JEFFREY. Among the many distinguished persons who have been re moved by death within the last fifteen months, that of Francis Jeffrey deserves prominent re cord. Mr Jeffrey has a world-wide fame as a writer. He had been long connected with the Edinburgh Review. His second wife was a lady Irom this country. Lord Jeffrey died on the 19th ult., aged 77 years. We are glad to find the following article in the Mountain Banner, published in Rutherfordton in this State, because it shows a proper spirit. We begin to read the Banne- v ith interest. How much better is this tone than that of the tame " submissionists" who with fear and trembling are ready to submit to every wrong. THE STRUGGLE IN CONGRESS- The letters which we publish to day from the intelligent and truthful correspon dent of the Charleston Courier give a plain and graphic account of the struggle in the House between the Northern and Southern members. It was the opening of the ball ; the time for speechmaking had passed ; all the incipient stages had been gone through with, and the hour for action, and firm resistance on the part of the South, had arrived And nobly did the Southern members take their stand. The resolu tion of Mr Doty was intended to take the South bjr. surprise to carry through the California Bill before any meeting of the Southern members could be held, or any concerted action be agreed upon , but by one spontaneous move the Southern dele gation, without any preconcerted rule of action, acted as one man. Will the North now believe that the Sonth is in earnest, and that she will not be bullied out of her rights? If so, let her do us justice, even at this late hour, and .ve will forget the reluctance with which she yielded it, and remain her brothers: but if she persists in her injus tice, and continues to deny to us our rights and privileges--leaving us nothing but the empty name of Union, as a recompense for our rights and our degrading submission, then, we sav, let us "part company. We love and revere the Union much ibul we love and revere the rights guaranted to us by the Constitution more. If one or the other is to be surrendered who can hesitate in making his choice? The con stitution anil the Union ; may both remain entire, but if the one is to be infringed let the other be dissolved. DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN NEW HANOVER COUNTY. Pursuant to previous notice, a meetinj; ot the democratic party of New llanovt-r county, was held at the Court House in Wilmington on the 13th inst. On motion of J. P. Bannerman, Esq., Wm. S. Larkins, Esq, was called to the Chair, and John Shepard appointed Sec'y. On motion, the Chair appointed a com mittee of five to draft resolutions for the action of the meeting. The following gentlemen were appointed upon said committee : James Fulton, E. D. Hall, W. T. J. Vann, D. Mclntire, and J. P. Bannerman. After having retired for consultation, the committee reported, through their chairman, the following preamble and re solutions, which, after some discussion by Messrs E. D. and E1i W. Hall. Robert Strange, Jr., J. Fulton, and J. 1 Holmes, were unanimously adopted : Whereas, a recurrence to first principles is at all times desirable and necessary in a free ernment, but especially so during times ot trial and excitement, like those which now agitate our country, and threaten its Union, its harmony, audits very existence ; and whereas it has al ways been the constant practice of the democra tic party, at all proper times and occasions, to give full and free expression to its opinions upon the great public questions of the day ; be it therefore 1. Resolved, That we, a portion of the demo cratic party of New Hanover county, in public meeting assembled, entertaining the deepest re spect and veneration for the Union of these Unit ed States, and believing that Union should l maintained at the expense of everything short of 'honor and principle, have viewed with pain and indignation the long series of outrages and ag gressions which northern cupidity and fanaticism has aimed against the rights, feelings, and insti tutions of the south, and which, if consummated, must inevitably lesult in disunion and bloodshed. 2. Resolved, That we adhere, with unshaken confidence, to the principles of States Rights Democracy, believing that all lavs tending to confer exclusive privileges upon particular sec- ! tions. interests, or classes, are alike unconstitu tional and undemocratic, whether such measures take the name of Wilmot Proviso, Protective Ta riff, or Internal Improvements by the General Government. 3. Resolved, That the experience of the ljst year has conclusively proved that the idea of no partyism has been a cheat and a delusion, and that the only safety for the democratic party is to be found in a strict adfteience to its princi ples and its organization. 4. Resolved, That we believe in the necessity and propriety of holding a Democratic State Convention, for the purpose of nominating a can didate for Governer, in accordance with the usages of the party. 5. Resolved, That the chairman of this meet ing be authorized to appoint twenty-five dele gates to represent the county of New Hanover in said Convention. 6. Resolved, That we will cheerfully abide by the decision of the Convention, and give to its nominee our fullest support, but beg respectfully to submit to the Convention the name of Hon. JAMES C. DOBBIN, of Cumberland, as the first choice of New Hanover county. 7. Resolved, That we recommend the holding of the State Convention t the city of Raleigh, on the 13th day of May next. Isaac Wright, Esq., of Bladen, was pres ent, and being culled upon, favored the meeting with some eloquent and appropri ate remarks in support of the candidate recommended by the resolutions. In accordance vv'th the fifth resolution, the Chairman appointed the following gen tlemen as Delegates to the Raleigh Con vention: Gen L H Marsteller, Wm C Bettencourt, Robert Strange Jr, Eli W Hall S R Bunting. J L Holmes, James Ful ton, M A Moore, Win C Marshall, J F Simpson, Jno T More, J B Seavy. Tims H Tate. J D Powers, Amos Rochelle. Da vid Williams. Wm E Buntinjr, John Park ins, N N Nixon, J M Foy. Daniel Saun ders, Chas Craig, David Mclntyre, Evan Larkins. After the report of the Committee had been disposed of, Mr John Shepard submitted for the consideration of the meeting the following prta tuple ad resolu tions, which were also adopted unanim ously : Whereas, there exists vacancies in the former delegation of New Hanover county in the legisla ture of this State, and whereas, it has heretofore been the custom.of the Democratic party of New Hanover county to hold county conventions, for the purpose of selecting suitable county candi dates, and also with a view to a more perfect organization of the party in said county ; be it therefore Resolved, That we, a portion of the dermcrat it citizens of New Hanover county, in ptrlic meeting assembled, respectfully recommended that a county convention beheld at Wilmington, on Tuesday of June Court next; and Be it further resolved. That we respectfully suggest to our democratic brethren of each Cap tain's precinct in said county, the propriety of their sending three delegates from each of their respective precincts, to said convention have full authority to nominate suitable county candidates, to be voted for at the ensuing August Election, to fill the respective offices for which they may be selected. On motion. Resolved, That the preamble and resolutions recommending a county convention, he request ed to be published iu the "Journal" till the meet ing of said convention. On motion, Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to the Chairman and Secretary lor the able and courteous manner in which they have discharged their dut ies. Resolved, That these proceeding. be publish ed in the Wilmington Journal, and Fayetteville North Carolinian. On motion adjourned. WM. S, LARKINS, Ch'n. JoHTt SncrAav, Sec'v. MR WEBSTER'S SPEECH. The Washington correspondent of the Charles ton Courier gives the fallowing as the main points in Mr Webster's Speech recently delivered in; the Senate, on the subject of the W'Jlinot Proviso, Jcc: 1st. That the character of the whole territory belonging to the United States, as respects the existence of slavery in it, is al reaily fixed by unalterable' laws. d. 'That the faith of ther-United States U pledged to the execution of the contract between the United States and Texas, to admit new States, not more than four in number, from her territory, when they shall have sufficient population; and that, as slavery existed in Texas at the time of annexation, those w ere to be slaveholding States. 5d. That California ami Now Mexico should be subject to no Saw respecting slavery except the law of nature and phys ical geography, &c-, which utterly exclu ded African slavery. 4. He was content with the law of na ture, and would put no Wilmot in it. He denied the right of the Legislature of Mas sachusetts to instruct him to vote against the dictates of common sense, and he would not vole for t'ne Proviso, if offered. 5th. New Mexico, if vver settled, would necessarily be free from African slavery, or any thing of the sui t, except predial service. 6th. fie dwelt upon and ftrnngly enforced the moral and constitutional obli gations of the North to carry into effect the stipulation for the surrender of fugitive slaves. On this point he was very strong, as indeed, upon every other. He argued that the Constitution was addressed to States, and bou.ud them as well as individ uals, and the. States were bound to carry this clause of the Constitution into effect. He would cheerfully support the Bill on this subject now before the Senate. 7th. He deprecated all the agitation ot abolitionists, in whatever fi rm it was kept up, anil especially that of legislative reso lutions and instructions. 8tli. He was willing that the South should be aided in removing free negroes from their territories by the General Gov ernment, and in sending them to Liberia or elsewhere. But would vote for- an ap propriation for this object to the extent of the whole sum which theTreasury had re ceived from the public lands, if the South desired it. Andhkw Johnson, of Tennessee. One of the ipost remarkable instances of ! energy of character and successful exertion j which this or an- other country affords, is that ot lion Andrew Johnson an able I Democratic Congressman from Tennessee, ami one of the most at denLlefenders of the ! South in the present Congress of the Uni fied States. The following history of Mr Jhnou's career, which we find in the Washington correspondence ot a daily pa i per,-wel ave been assured is strictly true. ! Indeed, Mr Johnson, . instead of being ashamed of his vocation, has a manliness not only to acknow ledge but to feel proud of the steps by which lie has risen to his M-esent position. It will be seen that he is a native of North Carolina ff'ilmington Journal. "This Mr Andrew Johnson, until old enough to be apprenticed to a tailor, was a parish boy at Raleigh, N. C. He finished his apprenticeship without acquiring the arts of reading and writing, and marrying as soon as he came of age, with a pack on his buck, and his wife at his side, footed it ncr.isi the mountains to his present home, Joneboro. Tcnn Ilis wife taught him to re;oland write aftei he had reached Jones- I) '. lie is now, perhaps, 45 years old certainly not more and having been in the House of Representatives already some seven years, has inpressed himself the influence of his peculiar views upon the legislation of Congress, certainly as much as any other member, in that time. I doubt whether the world embraces a more striking instance of what well directed efforts will j do for the true advancement of a man ! the developemeut of latent useful qualities in ium man is evident in ms remarkable career- Does he no; form a model well worthy of imitation uy the youth of our country? Pkofkssional B kg o a hs. -The Italian Benevolent Society in New Orleans, cau tionslhe public against the hordes of pro fessional beggars from Italy, now in the United States. They say these solicitors of elcmesynary aid are" impostors, who make an annual visit from Italy as pro fessed beggars, and follow it as regular trade. The number is annually increasing; lor at the close ot the season they return home with more money than they ever saw before, and their success stimulates others to follow their example. The brig Louisi ana, which recently arrived there from Genoa, .brought as passengers seventy, of these characters, covered with rags, ver min and filih, all of whom are now no doubt following their vocation. The police of the cities should pay their respects lo these impostors and rid the streets of their presence. The Rev. Porter Clay. last surviving full brother of the Hon. Henry Clay, died at Camden, Arkansas, on the 16th nit , in the 7Ut year of his age.
