March 23, 1S50. 57S-tf NORTH CAROLINIAN. Wm. Hi Bayne, Editor and Proprietor FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. raATT 25, 1050. A NEW PRESS is t be established at Wash ington city, for the purpose of defending the rights of the South against Northern aggression. An address to the people of the South has been issued, signed by some 50 or 60 mombers of Congress, from the South, among them, Messrs Mangum, Venable, Ashe and Clingman, from N. C, calling upon ihe people of the South to sup port the press. We have no faith in the plan. We do not believe it will work any great good to the South. The avowed object of the signers, is to establish a press at Washington, unconnected with party politics, for the sole purpose of being a " South ern Organ," to maintain Southern rights alone, and nothing else. It's "all in my eye." If those whig members from the South who signed that address calling for a new paper, would take steps to harmonize the presses already in the South, they would do much better. They had better get their whig presses at home to defend the South, instead of giving "aid and comfort" to the Abolitionists, by denouncing their neighbors, "traitors" and disunionists." We are a little surprised that the democratic members of Congress were beguiled into this shallow invention. There is an astonishing lack of depth in the affair. Harmonize your presses at home, before you go to putting up new ones. The Washington Union may be thought an interested witness in this matter, but the follow ing remarks of that paper, are more weighty than the whole " address " of the Northern members : We tlo not object to the establishment, by the signers of the Southern Address, of a paper for the objects stated in that ad dress, if they think it is expedient to put the cause of the South upon a like footing with the cause of abolitionism. The abo litionists of the North not the North as a section have established a paper in this city to advocate their peculiar and disor ganizing principles. .nd if the signers of the Southern Address think that move ment of the abolitionists of such a formi dable character as to justify a resort to a similar mode or counteracting them, in stead of relying upon the power of the South in debate, as well as the press de voted to the just cause of the South, we do not object. It is reported that Elwood Fisher, of Cincin nati, (author of a pamphlet in defence of the South, which has been widely circulated) is to be the editor of the new paper. $5- A monument to Hon.

We publish below, a joint letter from these gentlemen recently appointed on the part of the Whigs and Democrats of this District, to represent them in the Nash ville Convention. It will be seen that both regard it as inexpedient under pre sent circumstances to take their seats in that body and recommend that should it meet in June next, as originally proposed, the members present adjourn over. We commend the careful perusal of the letter to all our readers. . Fatettkville, May 11, 1850. Henry I. Toole, Esq. Dear Sir : The time for the Nashville Convention is at hand. A meeting preg nant with the most important results to the whole family of man. When chosen by the Convention of this Congressional Dis tricts, in March last, as its representatives at Nashville, while justly proud of the honor, we felt most painfully the dread respon sibility thus cast upon us. But we have no wish or purpose to shrink from it. We felt assured that the same God who had led our Fathers through the scenes of the Revolution, would lead us also in the right way either by the pillar ot cloud or the pillar of fire. We believe we are all in struments in his hands to accomplish his purposes j and we know by the past, that those purposes for the future will be just and merciful. Yet we are this time greatly perplexed, and must confess that we sec not those plain indications of what provi dence designs for us, to enable us to de cide with confidence whether or not it is our duty to go to Nashville at the time proposed. At the New Hanover meeting held in January, one of us felt no hesita tion in saying that by the first Monday in June, it would be plainly seen that South ern Rights would meet with reasonable consideration from our Northern brethren : or that we must prepare to maintain them by dissolution and war I was mistaken. The mysterious veil of the future still hangs over those events which must decide this question, and no one can safely conjecture in what form they will be revealed. Un der these circumstajfegfrfrwhat can a Con vention do? Nothing a t least but mischief. Even resolutions adopted by it cannot possibly be of service, and would probably do barm. Should those resolutions be ex pressive of a united purpose at the South to stand by their rights at every hazard, will they not justly be considered thus uttered pending a negotiation, as indecent threatening or idle blustering. And if conciliatory and mild, may they not beget doubts, in many minds at least, whether the hearts of Southern heroes are not failing them, as they contemplate in fancy, the great Potomac sending her waves to the ocean, swollen and red with the blood of men, poured out from kindred bosoms. Be sides this, a Nashville Convention is a strong measure, full of consequences ; when over, it will be like an exploded bomb: no longer feared, not even respect ed ; or will have left behind it sad and abiding evidences ot its tremendous power. We should reserve it for a time of need, when like Sampson, w rouged by his ene mies pastall endurance, he might wise ly seek their destruction, even though it cost him his life. Sir, we are persuaded that these are the feelings of a large pro portion of the people of our own district, which has been more forward than any other part of the Slate in this matter. We should now misrepresent them by partici pating in any action of a Nashville Con vention at this time. It is the dirty of every representative to, reflect, as far as possible, the will of his constituents- If we believed that ours desired our atten dance, we would go, regardless of our own opinions, or our personal convenience. But, if the vote of the District could now be taken upon the question, a very large majority we think would even forbid us to go. We shall theretore not take our seats in. the Convention at Nashville, un less some change takes place in the aspect of public affairs between now and the first Monday in June. We are much obliged to you for an article in the Aurora of Wednesday last, headed. The Nash ville Convention, again." Other reasons are suggested therein why the Convention should not meet at this time, which you have thereby saved us the necessity of offering here. We hope those who do meet at Nashville at the time appointed, will adjourn without any other action, to a more' suitable time at the same or some other place, when and where the whole' South, with undivided heart, may lift up a shout of joy for our glorious Lnion pre served, or rally with sad but determined purpose around the no less glorious stan dard of Liberty and the Rights of the South!" We are, with great respect, your frienJs and fellow citizens, ROBERT STRANGE, - G. J. McREE. Brought Back. A black fellow be longing to Com. Barron, -who had at Nor folk been enticed on board schr.

The agitation of the subject of Slavery, which threatens to dissolve the Union, involves some very serious reflections, particularly to that portion of the com munity engaged in commerce, and the inland trade between the. North and the South. A glance at some of our business streets exhibits the immense trade with the South and South-west, and we contemplate with satisfaction the importance and value of the South to the North. It would be better it some of our legisla tors understood more thoroughly the statis tics of trade between the North and South, and between the United States and foreign countries. They would be better enabled to estimate the consequences that would be sure to follow disunion, upon the value of every species of property at the North, as well as its effect in revolutionizing trade at the North, and changing its location to the South. Could these important points be seen by our publicmen at Washington, a better feeling would prevail, and less acrimony would show itself in meeting the questions which now agitate the whole country. The Agricultural interest of the United States are paramount to all otheis, for, upon this branch of industry, Commerce is supported, and Manufactures thrive. If we look at that section of the Union which grow for export the largest in amount, and by far the most import commodity of any of the productions of this country, or of the whole world, we see that the South, where slave labor is employed, famishes in Cotton alone, the whole Union with a large proportion of the means to pay for the im ports from foreign countries. From the Cincinnati Gazette, May 8. Tun National Mf.dical Convention. This body proceeded to the regular busi ness yesterday. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the President, Dr. Warren, of Boston, delivered an address to the asso ciation, and business suggestions to the delegates assembled; then the Doctor glanced briefly at medical reform during the last half century, noticing the falling off" of confidence among the profession gen erally in the use of the lancet and of calo mel in all diseases. He spoke of cold wa- ter asaremeuiai ageni juuiciousiy appiieu. and advocated decidedly the advantage of ether in surgical operations. He prefer red ether to chloroform. Hoping that fifty years hence the mem bers of the profession would entertain as hish a regard for the leaders in medical in vestigation of the half century coming, as the physicians of this day have for the great men of the half century to be closed the next year, the Doctor concluded his address. Nearly 200 delegates have been recorded by the secretary, and we learn there are over 300 in the city, numbering among them many of the leading men of the old school profession of the United States. We learn from the Cincinnati Gaz.ette of the 9th inst. that the following named gentlemen have been elected officers of the Medical Association lor the coming year: President R. D. Mussey, Ohio; 1st vice president, J. B. Johnson, of Missou ri; 2d vice president, A. Lopez, Alabama; 3d vice president, Daniel Brainard, Illi nois; 4th vice president, G. W. Noriss, Penn. Secretaries A Stille, Peun., H. W. DeSaussure, S. C, Treasurer Isaac Hayes, Peun. The Convention was still discussing the subject of elevating the standard of medi cal education. Various pointed and for cible facts were presented by Professor Miller, of Louisville, on prolonging the time of Medical lectures in the various schools of the Union. RESULT IN VIRGINIA. We have now full returns from the whole State, with the exception of a few counties, which have, no doubt, returned the old members. The grand total is as follows : Democratic gains. Charlotte, Essex. Floyd, Gloucester, Goochland, Hanover, King George, Marshall, Mason and Jack son, &c Montgomery and Pulaski. Mor gan, Norfolk county, Petersburg, Wood, Ritchie, &.c. 14. Whig gains Alleghany, Botetourt, Dinwiddle, Fairfax, Fauquier, Fayette and Nicholas, Powhatan, Scott, Tler, &c 9. Nettgain 5 equal to 10 members ; which, added to the 13 majority in the last house, makes the democratic majority in the next house 23, and thirty-three on on joint ballot. Let the Chow Live I present for publication the following, to prevent the deprepation of crows upon the cornfields: Dissolve 4 table spoonfuls of tar in one gallon of boiling water, stir in it immedi ately six quarts of corn, and in two min utes" drain off the water, then mix one pint Gf plaster paris, which separates the kernels for dropping. After 34 years experi ence, I have never known it to fail of be ing effectual, and it does not injure the corn, as soaking in copperas often does. By thus preparing seed corn, we can have the benefit of the crows' in our fields to eat the corn. CONNECTICUT: We hear that the Hon. Ralph J.

Washington, May 14, 1850 A letter has been received in this city, stating that the slaves in Union Township, Munroe county, Va., had almost matured a plot to murder all the white inhabitants in the above township. Their purpose was then to effect their their escape to the State of Ohio. A ccdored girl, however, gave information of the plot, and up to the last accounts sixty of the ring-leaders hail been arrested and imprisoned. The affair has produced much excitement, and a good deal of uneasiness. 'Poon Jersey. The following story of an incident said to have occurred on board of a Mississippi steamer, has excit ed our risibles not a little.. We .hope none of our readers in "the Jarsies" will go into a " conniption fit" on account of flic atrocious libel," if such it is r A party of gentlemen were conversing upon the all absorbing topics' of the un happy differences existing between the North and South, and each one, of course, had something to say in favor of his own State. One of the gentlemen remarked that lie belonged to Jersey, and was pro ceeding to show forth the merits of that much-abused portion of our Union, when he was interrupted by a jolly-looking customer, with a merry eye and a some what elongated proboscis,- with the interro gatory : Do you really belong to Jersey ?" I do, indeed!" was the answer. Well, then give me your hand. Ahl poor Jersey"' lie continued with a deep drawn sijih, k poor Jersey! Come, sir, whatMl you take to drink ? You are wel come to the verv best that can be had urn board this boat." The gentleman, somewhat surprised, inquired the reason of the joker's esteem for Jerseymen ? " It is not exactly esteem the feefing I cherish towards those unfortunate people, smacks more of compassion!" he replied. Please explain yourself,-" s'a'id' the Jersey man ;'? I do not understand you.'' Well, then, the fact is," was the an swer, ' 1 believe the people from your State are about as apt to be dry, as any class of men out, and I never met one in my life but he was either too mean or too poor tobuya drink sol mike it a point to tre'wt a Jersey man whenever 1 meet one!" Gii eat Improvement in DACUEiihKo tyi'e. MrChas. J. Anthony, of Pittsburg has invented one of the grandest improve ments ever made in the art of Degaerro typiug ; in fact we believe it second only to the discovery of Daguerre himself. The improvement consists in what is termed Magic Back Ground," which is given by a chemical process, and consists in over coming one of the greatest difficulties that artists have to. contend against. Mr An thony, by his process, can give the picture any kind of back ground he pleases light or dark, and imitation of sky, or draperied canopy. One sample which we saw, had a back ground in imitation of pearl, with the picture standing out in full relief. The back ground can be given e'iffcer before, during, or after the iinpressiort is taken. The process is simple and the expense trifling. Mr Anthony has applied for a patent, and has assigned his interest of it to Mr Levi Chapman, of this city, who will no doubt make a grand affair of such a deserv ing and meritorious discovery. Sci.

The Na tional Intelligencer publishes an official correspondence between Sir Herjry L. Bulwer and Secretary Clayton, with very lenghthy accompanying documents relative to the great industrial fair which is to take place in London. Sir Henry states that the managers have allotted to the United States 80,000 square feet in the proposed exhibition. One half of this space is re quired to be given up to the passages and other purposes. He wishes the British government to be apprised before the 1st of September ot the intention of our govern ment and in respect to the matter. He also communicates a detailed classification of the articles to be admitted. Years of discretion.
