THE NORTH CAROLI N I AK l P A Y E T T E V I L L E, N . C. NORTH-CAROLINIAN. FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. Saturday, March 4, 1S54. DEMOCRATIC BEETISC. The Democrats of Cumberland are requested to meet in the Court Room on Monday next, 6th iust., at 3 o'clock, p. m., to appoint dele pates to the Democratic State Convention to be held in llaleigh on the 10th of April. FIFTEESTn YOLIJIE. The present issue of this paper is the first number of a new volume. The Carolinian has been established just fourteen years. During a great portion of this period, it has had many difficulties to contend against, but chiefly the want of a large and remunerating patronage. Since the present editor took charge of it, (something more than two years ago,) the num ber of subscribers has been increased nearly fifty per cent, and the advertising patronage in n rnrpcsiinndinir ratio For thpsn marks of mill- i . ,. , . . e . ,T n j rights of New York politicians, &c. fcc lie annrobation. lie is Grateful, lie would now e . ' call the attention of his democratic friends to the fact that important elections will soon be at hand. A Governor is to be elected. A Leg islature is to be chosen, in whose hands will be placed the fate of Free Suffrage and the elec tion of two United States Senators. "We have here in Fayettcville two whig papers widely circulated and zealously supported. Will not the democrats of Cumberland, IJladen, Moore, Jtobeson, Richmond, Sampson, and other adja cent counties, give us a circulation adequate to the crisis ? All that democracy wants is a fair hearing before the people. If we get that, our triumph will be certain. Let the people have light. The Whig Platform. We present to our readers in this issue the resolutions passed at the recent Wbi- State Convention. The first rcsolntion is in favor of the Union, and will be cordially endorsed by all parties. The second resolution asserts the policy of distributing the public lands, and expresses dis approval of the existing system of making grants in aid of internal improvements in the land States. We regard this as the most important resolution of the scries. It contains errors of doctrine which we shall stand at all times ready to combat with the iveajons of argument and reasoning upon unquestionable facts. Last week we closed a series of remarks on the subject, and we shall not now add anything in relation to it. The third rcsolntion reaffirms the finality of the Compromise measures of 1 850, but says nothing in relation to the bill now pending in Congress for the organization of Nebraska and Kansas territories. The fourth resolution condemns the President and Cabinet for interfering with the dearest The v 11 iL""i Ji vvui.iu v,jijr nj iiiiuitii n itu mv Xew York Hards, and why? Because the Hards are opposed to the Administration, and so are they. The fifth resolution resolution denounces the President for having appointed frce-soilers to office, etc. &c. They ought also to have passed another denouncing the whig party of the whole country for having made Millard Fillmore Pre sident, who was about as much a free-soilcr as President Pierce's appointees. The sixth resolution expresses the opinion that the people of the State desire a. change in the Constitution, and that this should be effect ed by a Convention not by an open Conven tion but by a Convention so limited in its powers as not to have control over the basis of representation. This is also a resolution of some importance, and may hereafter form the basis JSjJ" We are under obligations to our friend Dr. Shaw, of Carthage, for a club of fourteen new subscribers, on which the full amount of 21 has been paid. lhe following persons ; of sonie comment by us. compose the club : Cnpt. m. 1.

UsT Robert Strange, Esq., has been appoint ed Solicitor of this judicial circuit, by his honor Judge Saunders, in place of Hon. Rob't Strange, deceased. He holds the office until the meeting of the next Legislature. Foreign .tewr The steamer Europa arrived at Xew York mi the 25th ult. with three days later news from Europe. Flour, wheat and corn had declined. Cotton had advanced one-eighth. There was no change in the affairs of Russia and Turkey. A battle had taken place at tiuirgers, with considerable loss of life. The London Times gives the following as the present condition of the Eastern question: "If the German powers, particular' Austria, adhere to their engagements with the Western States, the chances for peace in Europe is very small; but, nevertheless, the war will lie a lim ited one. If, on the contrary, Russia overpow- ! whig jouri ers the independence of the German States, warjlinian,) it is not oniy inevitable, out must assume a more general and aggravated character." The news from China states that a large por tion of t ho citv of Shanghai had beeu burnt bv the Imperialists. The rebel force had captured Tiesin Advices from Madrid, Spain, state that a conspiracy was discovered on the 14th. Gen. Jose Concha had been declared a rebel. The Emperor of Japan is dead, and the court will go into mourning for two years, during which time, it is stated, no embassies will be received. We trust that our neighbor, the Carolinian, will now be easy on the basis question. We have more than once informed that print that the Whig party had no idea of changing the basis of representation; but it knew more about our opinions than we ourselves did. The con vention has put the matter to rest. It recom mends to the legislature to call a convention for making amendments to the Constitution, and that in submitting the election of delegates to the people provision shall be made for preserv ing the present basis of representation. Argus. We inform our neighbor that we have not been so unobservant of things, as not to have noticed the discrepancy betweeu the resolution in the whig Platform on the subject of a Con vention, and some of the resolutions passed in some of the neighboring counties, on the game subject. Some weeks ago, we called attention to the following resolution, paeged at a meeting of the whigs of Richmond : " 4. Resolved, That the whigs of Richmond County are in favor of an open Convention to consider of Constitutional amendments in North Carolina," This resolution, mark you, was passed at a meeting of the neighbors and friends of General Dockery, the whig candidate for Governor, and we believe that he himself was in the meeting for a short time. Now, we think we are justi fied in taking this resolution as the expression of General Dockery 's sentiments on the ques tion of an open Convention. Though he may stand upon the platform laid down for him, we entertain some doubt as to whether he would not have preferred something a little more radical. "Gen. Dockery is essentialh' a man of the people. Born in humble life, and deprived of the benefits of that long and extensive course of mental culture, which the modern facilities of education afford, he has yet by the native strength of his intellect raised himself far above the popular level," &c. &c. Wihi'gton Herald. The Herald probably omitted a part of a sen tence in the above. It should read " ly the na tive strength of his intellect, and by his firmness if purpose" S)-c. $-c. EStf We have received from the publisher, Livingston's Monthly Law Magazine for Janu ary, 1854, containing a very good picture of the Secretary of the Navy. Wc return our thanks for the favor. The seventh and eighth resolutions are strong for the Common School system strong for in ternal improvements. So arc we. It is worthy of remark that these resolutions were reported by that revolutionary whig, Mr Cherry of Bertie. They are on the whole pretty much what we expected. Two weeks ago we published an article on the removal of Mr Grice, the master black smith at the Gosport Navy Yard, in which no allusion was made to the Fayetteville Observer, except as falling under the class of "whig jour nals." In that article were the following sen tences: " The real secret of all this disturbance is, hi cur estimation, the fact that Grice is a rich man. TI'c sincerely believe that had he been a poor man, we should in all probability have heard verv little or nothing about his removal." So anxious was the Observer to find something in the columns of this paper upon which to indulge its cherished habit of abusing those whom its Editors dislike, that it seized upon our article and commented on it in the following style: "So far as we are concerned, (as one of the urnals probably alluded to by the Caro- s entire statement of the case, and of the motives of those who have complained about it, is a gross perversion of truth in plain words, is untrue, from beginning to end. We are re presented as complaining only because Mr Grice is a "rich twin," whereas, until we saw it in the Carolinian, we had no idea whether he was rich or poor," &c. Now any person who will take the trouble to read the article thus alluded to by the Observer, will see that we did not make the statement that the Observer complained only because Mr Grice was a rich man. We merely expressed an opin ion about the origin of the disturbance. Yet, so desirous was the Observer to indulge its penchant for abusing us, that it tortured the simple expression of an opinienhy us, into a state ment derogatory to itself. The application by the Observer was gratuitous, but it furnished that paper an opportunity of indulging in some of those epithets, the utterance of which seems to be the greatest joy of its existence. We have made this brief review of the facts of the case in order to set ourselves right in this matter, and in order that those who wish to understand it, may not be deceived by the crafty and unfair representations of the Observer. We wish now to give the Senior Editor of the Observer a piece of advice, for he needs it. We shall not be surprised if wc shall be abund antly abused for so doing. But wc are getting to be somewhat callous of abuse from that quarter, for we do not think that it injures us quite as much as those who utter it might wish. The senior editor of the Observer is getting to be well advanced in vcars. His example may have some effect upou those who are his juniors, particularly those who arc engaged in the same calling w ith himself. And the influence of this example may be enhanced by the considera tion that the editor is a prominent member of a christian church. Has he considered these things? Is he aware of the evil influence he is exerting? Is he aware, more than all, that there is a great apparent inconsistency between his iutempcrate habit of reviling, in language bitter and insulting, those who differ from him in opinion, and the doctrines of that religion of which he is a professor ? Does he not know that "the guilt of the hypocrite is deadly?" We wish to be understood. We do not charge him with being a hypocrite, but we waru him that, judging from the style of controversy in which he is accustomed to indulge, some might be led into that belief. He may thus become a "stumbling block " in the way of others. We advise him to take these things into considera tion, and at least to make the attempt to mend his ways in this respect. Whatever he may think of this advice, and of the motives which prompted it whatever epithets of abuse he may see fit to heap on us in reply, we tell him, that the advice is just such as he now needs, and he would do well -to profit by it. Thirty-Third Congress First Session. On Thursday, Feb. 25th, in the Senate,, the bill authorizing the construction of six steam frigates was passed. Mr Shields presented the petition of Ithael S. Richardson, the inventor and patentee of the "Atmospheric Telegraph," asking for an appropriation of $5000 to enable him to make an experiment with his invention, for the space of ten miles. The inventor states that he can convey packages (either the TJ- S. mails or any other matter that it may be neces sary to convey) at a speed exceeding five hun dred miles per hour, and also that it will convey a weight exceeding five thousand pounds. The petition was referred to a select committee of 5. Mr Cass stated that he had a petition to pre sent, which was but the forerunner of many others; it asks the interposition of this Govern ment with foreign powers, where such interposi tion is required, iu order to secure to American citizens abroad the enjoyment of religious wor ship while living, and a place of sepulture and the rights of Christian burial when dead.- After some remarks from Mr Cass showing the neces sity of such interposition, the petition was re ferred .to the committee on foreign relations Mr Brodhead introduced a resolution granting permission for Prof. DeBow to use the manu scripts of the Census Office m the preparation ot a work on the manufactures of the U. S. Re ferred to committe on printing. The Nebraska bill was taken up andMrToombs of Ga., spoke in its favor. In the House, a debate arose on a bill grant ing land to Wisconsin for railroad purposes, but was not disposed of when the House adjourned. Friday, the 24th, the Senate was addressed by Messrs Hunter and Butler in favor of the Nebraska bill. Several private bills were passed. The House, after a short session, adjourned over until Monday for the purpose of allowing members an opportunity to attend the funeral of Gen. Armstrong, proprietor of the Washington Union and printer to the House. Iu the Senate, on Saturday, several petitions were presented aud referred. Messrs Brown and Dodge of Iowa, spoke in favor of the Ne braska bill. On motion of Mr Stuart the fol lowing resolution was taken up: "Resolved, That the committee on Coranerce be and they are hereby instructed to report to the Senate, at as early a day as one can be pre pared, a bill making appropriations for the im provement of harbors and rivers." After some little discussion, the consideration of this resolution was postponed until Tuesday. Mr Cass called the attention of the Senate to the following passage from a speech delivered by Lord Clarendon, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs: "Your lordships will be glad also to hear that the union of the two Governments is not con fined to the eastern question, but that the habit of a good understanding between them has be come general on all matters of policy, and ex tends to all parts of the world; and that on the question of policy, there is no part of the world, in either hemisphere, with regard to which we are not entirely in accord." This, Mr Cass said, was intended as a notice to us that France and England have come to to an agreement with respect to the schemes of aggrandizement of the United fetates, and mean to stop it. Monday, Feb. 27, in the Senate, a large number of petitions were presented. Several railroad bills were considered and passed. The Nebraska bill was taken up, and Mr Cass spoke with great ability, and at considerable length, in support of it. Having concluded, Mr Coop er addressed the Senate iu opposition to the bill. In the House nothing was transacted of importance. "Our humble opinion is that the acts of a pru dent proprietor may sometimes conflict with the duties of a faithful agent, and we think we have authority for saying, that the Public Lands are only held in trust by the General Government, for certain purposes mentioned, aud not to be used to build up one portion of the Luiou at the expense of the other!" Salem I'ress. The above extract from the Salem Press will give the reader a correct idea of the style in which the whig presses discuss the subject of the public lands. AVe have any quantity of decla niation over the prodigality of the Government in wasting the public lauds any quantity of complaint (for it really appears to be nothing else) at the prosperity of the land States, who are benefitted we admit by our laud policy any quantity of protestations against the injus tice of building up the new States at the cx- pense of the old. Do kind brethren of the whig press, give us a change do treat us to something like argument on the subject. Show us how the grauting of alternate sections of the public lands in aid of railways penetrating them, and doubling the value of the sections reserved to the Government, can operate to build up the new at the expense oi the oia estates, it is vain to reply by pointing out the immense benefit con ferred by this system on the new States. It is vain to point to the magnificent results of the Illinois Central Railroad, and other similar works. ' You ouly prove thereby that the svstem benefits the new States. You do not show that it injures the old States. For it can be, and it has been, demonstrated that the system works no loss but a gain to the General Government. It, therefore, works no loss to the several Stales which that Government represents, but is a benefit to them. Ig it not a little strange that Millard Fill more a man whom the whig party of North Carolina delighted to honor never once vetoed a bill granting alternate sections of the public lands in aid of railroads? If Mr Fillmore had believed that this system was a prodigal wasting of the public property, and worked injustice to the old States, would he have signed all these bills? Would not he, a citizen of one of the old States, have remonstrated in his annual messages to Congress against the injustice of the system? But though "we"Sud him recommending' caore than once a change in our tariff system and a re turn to the favorite whig scheme of a high pro tective tariff, he never ence raised his voice against the land policy of the Government. Moreover, Mr Fillmore signed the identical bill granting public lands in did of the Illinois Central Rail road, against which we have heard so much whig declamation. Will some of our whig friends favor us with an explanation of this remarkable fact ?

On" the meeting of the Court, next day, Mr. Person rose aud said : Mav it vlease your Honor : There is a sad ness in our hearts aud a vacant place in our circle. We look around and one familiar face is not seen, one accustomed place is unfilled Onr friend and brother is not liere. Judsre Strancre is no more. With sorrowniir hearts the members of the Bar met on yesterday to pay a tribute to his memory, and I have been charg ed with the duty of requesting that your Honor will cause their proceedings to be entered upon the Minutes of this Court. It is true that tiiev cannot increase his fame, or add to the many excellencies of his character; but they will serve to convey some idea of our high apprecia tion of him while livinsf, and our hcart-telt sor row at his death. They set forth no cold formali ties, lint breathe the affectionate remembrance of sadoened friends -ot those who were drawn to lriurby the purity of his character and noble generosity of his nature. Of the public char acter ot our lamented mend it is unnecessary to speak.3 Among the records of the National Senate, in the Legislative and Judicial histo ries Of our own State, iu his forensic efforts and literary productions, are to be found the very highest evidences of his distinguished ability and great public worth. These belong to the country in coiumon with his fame. But I should be unfaithful to my own heart if I failed to speak of his private and social virtues, of those features of beauty in his character, which may not have been always seen by the world, but which iu the sun-light of friendly intercourse stood out in beautiful perfection, ot those gush ing impulses of his nature which won the confi dence and captivated the hearts of his associates. Deary Freshet. We learn from passengers and officials on the Wilmington aud Manchester Cars, which arrived this morning, that the Congaree River rose to a tremendous height yesterday morning. At Kingsville, the rise was about seven inches per hour. At the time the Manchester cars left Kingsville yesterday evening, from 150 to 200 yards of the South Carolina Rail Road had washed up in two different places, about 12 miles from the junction, and the water was still rising. The mails and passengers had to be conveyed over the breaks by means of hand cars, (ircat fears were entertained for the safety of the Waterec Trestle-work on the Manchester Road. At Camden yesterday morning the water was higher than it was last year, when so much damage was done to the Camden Road. It was feared the water would reach the top of the Trestle by day light this morning. Wc hope the fears entertained may not be realized. Wilmington Journal, of the 1st inst. We learn that the streams in this part of the country were higher during the former part of the week than they have been for many years past. A portion of the Gulf Plunk Road has been washed up, so we are informed. The freshet appears to have been pretty general, both north aud south. Baltimore, Feb'y 27. The McDoxoi gh Will Cask.

Cant, .las MoGiU-arv. and U. n.t.ee, were unanimou Xo man was more generous aud confidinjr. To his friends his heart was as open as Summer and unvarying as the Poles. His delicate sense of honor was offeuded by the slightest touch, aud while he scrupulously guarded his own feel ings, none were more ready to make reparation for injury, or did it with more graceful magna nimity. Altogether he was one of those men who lend a charm to society, whose friendships are warm aud glowing, and whose sympathetic natures, attracting others like themselves, cause the heart to rejoice in knowing that men may in truth be brethren. As friends we mourn his loss. To us it seems a great sorrow, but how immeasurably greater must be the bereave ment of those to whom he was the best and foudest husband and father those who were cherished iu the greatest depths of his heart and upon whom he lavished the riches of his affections! .It is a high and holy office of friendship to sympathise with friends in afflic tion, and a melancholy pleasure to feel that we are not unmindful of its demands. We may partake of their great sorrow and share in the consolations of their faith and hopes.
