SAVE i'lf'TY CENTS.
By a reference t tlie published terms of the
Carolinian it will 1 3 observed that if payment is
delayed three mont :he price is 2 50. The
present editor, it w'U recollected, took charge
of the establishment f n the 1st of October last,
and a new year then commenced with
the old subscriber fho were not in advance.
With the present fioqth the three months in
dulgence, for those whose terms commenced on
the 1st Oct., expin- We would therefore re
spectfully suggest 2ht our kind patrons would
romote their owir inlerests by early payments.
Now this additiona fiftv cents we don't desire
it will wring oar faft to have to take it but
if payment is dela'4 until the 1st of January
we will have elthi.C o pursue that course or
else deviate from or; published terms. And
another thing, redlhict Christmas is at hand,
and that is a time When Editors, as well as the
" rest of mankind" wish to have a few loose
shillings in their jockets. ' We don't wish our
patrons to conside tbis in the light of a dun;
we merely offer it ris asujcgest ion of which they
can make whatever uat they please.
THE WEATHER for the last four or five
days, bus been inte sely cold. Indeed there have
been few such ape within our recollection.
The ponds are froz n over, and the juveniles and
others fond of sue Sports, are enjoying them
selves skating. T l pastime has been rarely
enjoyed in this lat tilde dm ing the last eight or
ten years, and the remark has been frequently
made that our clinr ?e is becoming warmer But
a few rnoie such sj-'lla as this will have the ef
fect (, knocking tl at theory on the head. In
the meantime, our friends who are prepared for
it, may seize the ocasion to fill their ice houses,
and thu aid the watber by giving encourage
ment to home proa telion.
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Our friend of the! Wilmington Journal calls for
an expression of oj nion from this paper in re
gard to a Democral C "National Convention. In
regard to the expediency of holding such a Con
vention we have heretofore expressed the opin
ion that it should I'j held. We understand that
the Democratic National Executive Committee
will hold its meetijg in Washington city on the
2Uth inst., for the j urpose of arranging the pre
liminaries for the meeting of the Convention. In
due time we shall L; apprized of the committee's
action. As the m 'ting of this committee is so
nigh at hand, we tiink any action in relation to
the appointment f delegates to the national
convention, befor the result of the consulta
tion of the commi tee is known, unnecessary.
When that action Itecomes known we shall have
time enough to tak!the steps necessary to secure
the representation' of North Carolina in the
Convention. ; i 1
There are at thi; time many great and able
men in the ranks f the democratic party; men
who present highciais to the most distinguish
ed olhce in the giftof the people. To reconcile
these various claim;! all will see that a national
convention is both proper and necessary. And
the importance ol such a convention, and the
necessity for the w iole party to be represented
in it, are enhanced iy the consideration that ours
is now beond all lestion the dominant party
iit the country. It is exceedingly probable that
the nomination of Ihe democratic national con
vention will be in 'Fect the designation of a fu
ture President. Whether the nominee of the
convention should -e Cass, Douglass, Buchanan,
or any other swund iat!onal democrat, we doubt
not he will secure ls'ie united support of the par
ty, and with that support he would scarcely fail
of success. ;
FIRE'lN RALEIGH.
We learn from tie Raleigh papers that a most
destructive (:re occ irred in that place on Alon
djy morning last. 'It 'broke out in the tore of
Mr Depkins on Fayjtteville street, and advanced
up the street towa da? the Capitol square until
stopped by the bloving up of Mr J. B. G. Roul-
hac's store. It birnt down to the corner of
Fayetteville and Kirget streets, and then up
llaret to Salisbury street, where it burnt three
brick tenements an stopped. The loss is esti
mated at about thir y thousand dollars, of w hich
an inconsiderable prt? was insured. The Post
Olhce building was , onumed, but all the papers,
letters, &.c. were sa-ed. When the fire was first
discovered, had theje been good water facilities
it might have been Arrested; but unfortunately
these were wanting j and the result was what has
leen described. Tla Raleigh press calls loudly
for some steps tob!taVen by the city corpora
tion to provide a nxeef effectual fire police and
better facilities fo; obtaining water in such
emergencies. For jnately there is no loss' of
life by this calamity
THE OB8ERVER THE CAUCUS MEET
INGS, &.C.
Our neighbor, the Observer; has a curious
editorial in last Tuesday's paper, in which it ad
dresses us In the first place by our proper ap
pellation, and afterwards calls us the Journal.
We cannot suppose that the writer of the ar
ticle in question was in the condition of one who
sees double when that editorial was penned, and
yet we are at a loss how otherwise to account for
its confusion of names.
But, badinage aside, the Observer iuforms us
that the whig party is " already organized,"
and that it is therefore unnecessary for every
county meeting" to recapitulate its princi
ples." A recapitulation of principles is an ex
pression w hich supposes a previous declaration
of principles. Where are we to look for the
authoritative declaration of the principles of the
whig party? In the proceedings of the National
Whig Convention of 184S which nominated Gen.
Taylor for the Presidency ? We have no plat
form of principles laid down by that body. It
i was entirely silent on the subject. Indeed, we
should like to be informed whereto look for any
authorized exposition of whig principles. If
the whig meeting of Cumberland had declared
what great measures of public policy it was seek
ing to establish, it would have enlightened the
world on an obscure subject, and placed itself
in a position to have it objects and principles
better understood and appreciated.
The Observer seems not disposed to admit that
a strict adherence to th Compromise is demo
cratic doctrine. W hen we used that language,
not being disposed to dispute about terms, we
spoke of the"Compromise"in the sense in which
it was used in the whig meeting, including the fu
gitive slave law. Nearly all the measures em
braced in this Compromise are now fixed and
irrepealable laws, except the fugitive slave law.
No sensible man of ant' party will now advocate
the repeal of any of these irrepealable laws. The
only great question which the Compromise now
presents is a strict adherence to, and execution
of the fugitive slave law. A large portion of the
democratic party has always considered and does
still hold that the measures of the last Congress
known as the "Compromise," inflicted gross in
justice on the South, but the objectionable por
tions of it being mostly fixed and irrepealable,
that party would not now hazard the existence
of the fugitive slave law by legislative interfer
ence with any of those subjects embraced ni it.
But further; this fugitive slave law which
now presents so vital an issue, and which our
whig friends of Cumberland are so determined
to support (and we give them credit for that de
termination) was passed mainly through the in
strumentality of democratic votes. An examina
tion of the Journal of the House of Representa
tives will show that the fugitive slave law re
ceived on its final passage about three democratic
votes for every one whig vote. And is a strict
adherence by the democratic party to a measure
carried by democratic votes now to be called in
question ?
But the Observer asks whether this is demo
cratic doctrine in New York, Massachusetts and
other States which it mentions. We could, if
we thought it necessary, show tnat there is far
more unanimity on this subject among the demo
crats than among the whigs. The Observer
seems to have forgotten he old adage of what
people who live in glass houocs ought not to do.
One word on the subject of the caucus meet
ings at Washington. The Observer says in reply
to our remarks upon the action of those caucus
ses, that there are not S5 whigs elected to the
House of Representatives. The Congressional
Globe will, we suppose, be considered authority
on this subject. According to that paper there
are 91 whig members of the present House of
Representatives ; and according to the record of
the proceedings of the House on the 1st Dec,
(on the morning of which day the whig caucus
wnas, held,) there were present on that day 85
whig members, as we stated in our editorial on
this subject last week. Here then the Observer
has made an issue with the Globe, which is
universally acknow ledged to contain an accur te
account of Congressional proceedings. As to
the number of members present at the whig
caucus, Mr Fowler, a whig who was present,
puts it down at about 40. . Mr Brooks who acted ; s
spokesman for the w higs in the debate on this sub
ject, says there were between fifty' and sixty pre
sent. Splitting the difference between these two
statements, we put down the number at about 50.
Was there anything- unfair in that? But for the
satisfaction of the Observer and the full under
standing of this subject, we publish in another
part this paper so much of the debate in relation
to it as w e dee n necessary to a proper understand
ing of it. So far from fearing any damage to the
democratic party from this publication, we are
confident that it will have no such effect, but on
the coru-ary, that our readers will at once per
ceive the propriety of the course pursued by the
democratic caucus.

KOSSUTH AGAIN
This distinguished personage continues to be
the recipient of the warmest demonstrations of
respect and admiration. On Thursday the 1 1th
inst, the municipal authorities of New York gave
him a sumptuous dinner, at which he made an
elaborate and powerful speech. The following
quotation will suffice to show what action he de
sires the people of this country to take in his
case. He says he wishes
"That the people of the United States
may be pleased, by all constitutional means
to declare Frst, that,, feeling interested
in the maintenance of the laws of nations,
acknowledging the sovereign right of every
people to dispose of its own domestic con
cerns to be one of these laws, and the
interference with this sovereign right to
be a violation of these laws of nations,
the people' of the United States resolved
to respect and make respected these pub
lic laws declares the Russian past in
tervention in Hungary to be a violation of
these laws, which, if reiterated, would be
a new violation, and would not be regard
ed indifferently by the - people of the
United States that you, therefore, invite
your er nine ill to act accordingly; and
so inviu Great Britain to unite with the
United State in tHis policy Second,
that the people of the United States are
resolved to maintain its right of commer
cial intercouse with the nations of Europe,
whether they be in a state of revolution
against their governments or not and
that with the view of approaching scenes
on the continent of Europe, the people
invites tnc government to take appropri
ate measures for the protection of the
trade of the people on the Mediterranean;
and 3d, That people of the United States
pronounces its opinion in respect to the
question of independence of Hungary, so
as I had the honor to state."
This opinion he wishes the people to pronounce
is that they recognize the legitimate character
of the Hungarian declaration of independence
and are anxious to greet Hungary among the
independent powers of the earth, and invites the
government so to recognize the independence of
Hungary at the earliest convenient time.
Kossuth has published a letter dated Dec. 12
in which he reaffirms his determination not to
be mixed up with any domestic or party ques
tion in this country. In the House of Represen
tatives the joint resolution of Mr Seward, wel
coming Kossuth, was passed on Monday last by a
vote of 181 yeas to 16 nays.
