The democracy of Onslow coun ty held a prge and enthus iastic meeting on the Zthfiiifet. Resolutions were adopt ed heartii' approving the nomination of Pierce ana King. The calculates for toe Legislature ad dressed tip assemblage, both Vhi and Democrat dvocating Free Suffrage, oppos- ing a Contention, and recommending the amendmeiis of the Constitution by legisla tive enactqent. Messrs tdward Cantwell, II C Jones, and E W Ball delivered eloquent addres ses, amid lud and enthusiastic cheers. We lean that a highly respectable Whig gentleman of Brunswick, and a candidate fjr the Legislature in that coun ty, stated publicly, at Court this week, that he could nit support Scott if nominated, and he congratulated the country upon the sound national and reliable candidates, brought forward by the Democratic Na tional Contention. ilniingion Journal June It is sai4 that the vote of Virginia was cast for Pjerce through the exertions of Mr Eustace Conway of the Virginia dele gation. Before the slightest hope had been enterta.ined for Pierce, we observed the Hon. Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi, privately appealing earnesly and eloquent ly to someof the New England delega tions to stsstain Pierce; promising that the South would join in and nominate him. Soon after this Mr Dobbin, of North Carolina, rose, and in casting the vote of the old North State, made a thrillingly eloquent and effective speech of two mi;vi .lliat iltrrccr-t"hc -ic'ork for I'icrce. Every State wheeled in, and soon the tried statesman anil patriot of the Granite State was proclaimed tse Democratic Standard Bearer for 'the contest of 1852. forts mouth Daily Transcript. Gen. Pierce's Generosity. In addi tion to the facts about Gen. Pierce, which have been given to the public since the adjournment of the Convention, we are in formed by a personal friend of ours, a physician of this city, who was the surgeon of one of the ten regiments, that after the battles of Contreras and Churubusco, Gen. Pierce, in visiting the hospitals crowded with wounded soldiers, expressed his feel ing by distributing a large sum of money among the unhappy sufferers; and whjn ! ne returned, -on receiving a balance of pay ' of SSS-lf)- he added SfiO to it. and evnpiuicTl among his men. - Ue also, by his influence or purse, procured them free passages by the railroad. He sent money to many old soldiers. Bait imorc Jl rgus. Tiif. Steamer Douglass. We have heretofore neglected to notice the above steamer, which arrived here on Sunday last. The Douglass is to take her place on the Brothers line to Fayetteville, and is owned by our enterprising fellow-citizen, John lianks, who is her commander. The " Douglass'' is nearly new, draws about 0 inches water, when light, works with stern wheel, including which she is 116 feet long, 0 feet beam, has an engine of 80 horse power, and measures 97 31:95 tons has 5h feet hold. We understand that two other steamers will shortly be placed upon the Cape Fear River. Wilmington Journal. The New York Tribune addresses the following touching admonition to those indiscreet gentlemen in the Whig party, who propose to procure of the Whig Na tional Convention, an endorsement of the Fugitive Slave law. There is some force in the objection raised by the Tribune : Men who are trying to force a Pro-Slavery resolve through the Whig National Convention next week ! IVhat do you propose to do with those iVhigs who do not concur in it? What course do you expect them to take? What course does your meditated action indicate to them? Suppose you alienate and expel them from the party, what States do you expect to carry without them? "If you kill all the Rava'hs," Christian subjects, said a thoughtful Grand Vizier to a slap-dash Sultan, "how will you supply the place of the Capitation Tax ?" and this consideration arrested the meditated slaughter. Can it be possible that less forecast will be evinced next week at Baltimore?" Ratification of the Nomination by the Democratic Members cf the Virginia Legis lature A meeting of all the democratic members of the legislature, now in Rich mond, was held in the senate on the even ing of the 9th inst.

If she pulls out her cambric, be s'ure you are accepted. Call her "My darling Fanny," and "My on dear creature," and this completes the scene. " Ask her to name the blessed day, and fancy yourself already in Paradise. A good plan is to call on the object of your affections in the forenoon; propose a walk, mamma consents, in the hope-you will declare your intentions. Wander through the green fields; talk of "love in a cottage," "requitted attachment," and "rural felicity." If a child happens to pass, of course intimate your fondness for the 'dear little creature' this will be a splendid hit. If the coast is clear, down you must fall upon your knee, right or left, for there is no rule as to this, and swear never to rise till she agrees to take you 'for better or for worse." If, however, the grass is wet, and you have white pant aloons on, or if your trowsers are tightly made, of course you must pursue another plan. Vow most solemnly, and even swear, you will blow your brains out, or swallow arsenic, or drown yourself, if she wont sav Yes.' If you are at a ball, and your charmer is there, captivating all around her, and occasionally casting a sly glance to see how you take it, get her into a corner and pop the question. Some delay until after supper, but delays are dangerous. A young lady's tears, when accepting you, mean only 'I am too happy to speak.'

If you once commence ppping the question, and the 'dear one' looks like she is about to come it,' never desist (matters not what happens or who comes in) until she surrenders. If, however, she seems not to be much 4 scared,' speaks without faltering, and begins to tell vou how much she esteems you as a friend, and all that, change the subject immediately or commence whistling. The fact is, whenever you hear the word 'friendship' pronounced upon an occasion so critical, you hail just as well "save your wind to cool your soup." BEN BOLT. Owidom, June 10. Art of Swimming. Men are drowned by raising their arms above water, the un bouyed weight of which depresses the head. Other animals have neither notion nor ability to act in a similar manner, and therefore swim naturally. When a man falls into deep water, he will rise to the surface, and will continue there, if he does not elevate his hands. If he moves his hands under the water any way he plea ses, his head will rise so high as to alhrw hi:n free liberty to breathe; and if he will use his legs as in the act of walking, (or rather walking up stairs.) his shoulders will rise above the water, to that he may use the less exertion with his hands or apply them to other purposes. These plain directions are recommended to the recollection of those who have Jiot learned to swim in their youth as they may be found highly advantageous in preserving life. Exchange. From the N. Y. Mirror, June 5th. THOMAS FRANCIS 31 K AG HER. We had yesterday, the accidental pleas ure of meeting the escaped Irish patriot, the young and eloquent Meagher. The personal description we published of him from our cotemporaries, a day or two since was not a correct one. He is much young- j er looking than we had supposed. His ap pearance would ludicate a man about 23 years of age, not corpulent as has been stated, but of medium height, strong. com pact frame, a large, well formed head, finely set, a sparkling, mild eye. and a countenance alternating in colors between tha rosy and sun-browned. In short, a man with strong Hibernian characteristics though his features and voice are far less marked that way. His voice is soft and full, rather of the tone called "affected, " though there is no affectation in Mr Meagh er's speech or manner. lie speaks with deliberation, but clearly, fluently and to the point. Mr M. is no egotist vanity and conceit have no part with him. He has escaped from bondage and is proud to stand upon our free soil, under the folds of our starry flag, and . the protection of our laws. He has come axiong us from his captivity not a beggar, but to dwell in our tents, to prac tice his profession, the law, in our midst, ..--' 1 to share our inepeodence and hesni'-' tahty.

In reference to Kossuth and others, he expressed himself in sympathy with all who struggle for libertythat he deprecated dissension annng men battling in the samo great and sacred cause. Speaking of patriotic associations among the Colonists he had left so abruptly, he exclamed, "they, too, are alhirst for freedom, and thus, from both poles rises the song of lib erty the music of humanity." Mr Mea gher has won his Came chiefly as an orator as the Emmelt -! the last Irish struggle. We subjoin a portion of one of his speeches delivered at Belfait, in 1847, which, while it is one of the strongest rebukes ever given to Irishmen, is a noble specimen of the orator's sentiment and power: "A noble philosophy has taught us, that God has divided this world into those beau tiful systems called nations, each of which, fulfilling its separate mission, becomes an essential benefit to the rest. To this di vine arrangement will you alone refuse to conform, surrer.dering the position, re nouncing the responsibility, which you have been assigned? Other nations, with, abilities far less eminent than those which you possess, Laving greater difficulties to encounter, have obeyed, with heroism, the commandment from which you have swerved, maintaining that noble order ot existence through which even the poorest State becomes an instructive chapter in the great history of the world. Shame upon you! Switzerland, without a colony, without a helping hand from any court in Europe, has held, for centuries, her footing on the Alps; spite of the avalanche, has bid her little territory sustain, in peace and plenty, the children to whom she has given birth has trained them up in the arts that contribute to the security, the joy, the dig nity of life has taught them to depend upon themselves, and for their fortune to be thankful to no officious stranger; and, though a blood-red cloud is breaking, even whilst I speak, over one of her brightest lakes, whatever plague may issue from it, be assured of this, the cap of foreign des potism will never gleam again in the mar ket place of Altortf. Shame upon you! "Norway, with her scanty population, scarce a million strong has kept her flag upon the Categat; has reared a race of gal lant sailors to guard her frozen soil; year after year has nursed upon that soil a har vest to which the Swede can lay no claim; has saved her ancient laws, and to the spirit of her frank and hardy sons commits the freedom which she rescued from the al lied swords when they hacked her crown at Frederickstadt. Shame upon you Greece, whom the Goth, nor Turk, nor time hath spared not has flung the crescent from the Acropolis; has crowned a king in Athens, whom she calls her own; has taught you that a nation should never die; that not for an idle pageant has the blood of heroes flown; that not to vex a school-boy's brain, and smoulder in a heap of dust, has the fire of heaven issued from the tri- bune's tongue Shame upon you ! Holland with the ocean as her foe from the swamp, in which you would have sun k your graves, has bid the palace, and the warehouse costlier than the palace, rear their pondorous shapes above the waves that battle at their base has out bid the merchants of the Rialto; has swept the l channel with her broom; has threatened England in the Thames; and, though, for a day. she reeled before the bayonets of Dumouriey., she sprang to her feet again, and, with the cry, "Up with the House of Orange,' struck the tri-color from her Jvkes. 'And vou, who are eight millions strong; you who boast, at every meeting, that this island is the finest that the sun looks down upon; you, who have no threatening sea to stem, no avelancbe to dread; you, who say that you could shield along your coast a thousand sail, and be the princes of m'ghty commerce; you; who by the magic of an honest hand, beneath each summer sky, might call a plenteous harvest from your soil, and with your sickle strike away the scythe of death; you, who can trace field to field, the evidences of a civilization older than the conquest, the relics of religion more ancient than tha gospel; you, who have been blessed, thus been gifted, thus been prompted to what is wise, and generous and great; you will make no effort, you will whine and beg and skulk, in sores and rags, upon this favoured land; you will congregate in drowsey councils, and when the very earth is loos ening beneath your, feet respectfully su ge&t new clauses and amendtnente to sun?e plundering poor bi.', ' 1
