Scores of anti Scott Whigs will not go for Dockery, and I must confess the Whig party is bound to go to pieces. A Rkform Whig of the Wlst. We were not mistaken in the opinion that gome of the more independent Eastern .-Whigs would not go for a Convention to -amend the State Constitution. The Weldon Patriot, a respectable Whig "journal, has thus far declined to raise the name of Gen. Dockery; and we do not see how Col. Joy ncr, with his opinions on the subject, can support him. It is rumored, too, that Hugh Collins, Esq., of Chowan, is opposed to a Convention, and will take ground with his usual ability for the legislative mode of amendment. The East has nothing to gain and every thing to lose by going into Convention. Let the people bear in mind that those who are now urging them to call a Convention, and who pre tend to such regard for the basis of representa tion, are the very men, or the friends of the very men who have signalized themselves by assailing the basis.

The political news is interesting, but exhibits no decided change in the attitude of the powers, who are insensibly Hearing the brink of war. England and France continue their preparations on the most extended scale. It was reported that a manifesto would be issued by France and England in a few daj's which would be equal to a formal declaration of war. It was also stated tbat a final announcement had been sent to the Czar, fixing the time when he must evacuate the principalities.

The Paris Patric of a late date has the following : At the last Tuilcrics ball, the brilliant toi lette of a stranger, with an incredible number of diamonds, attracted the attention of all present. In a moment the attention was changed to the most intense curiosity, when Louis Napoleon was observed to accost the lady, and remain some moments iu conversation. The enigma was soon solved. The lady was the widow of Mr Aaron Burr, formerly Vice President of the United States, with whom Louis Napoleon was on terms of intimacy whilst in that country, aud that at the end of fifteen years he had re cognized the widow of his old American friend. This probably alludes to Madame Janiel, the wealthy second wife of Col. Burr, who obtained a divorce from him a few J'ears previous to his decease. She owns a large landed estate on the Island of Malta. Cin. lunq. From the llaleigh Stand ird. TThy Change Democratic Ht&tcft 1 When in by-gone days wc were toiling lfthe dim light of the midnight lamp, well do we're member the discouraging prospects which sur roiyided us on every side, and the painful anxie ty felt for the success of the principles of the great Democratic party. Our State govern ment was in the hands of a bloated Aristocracy, reckless and proseriptivc beyond our powers of description. Every whig measure was lauded to the skies, and every Democratic measure re presented to be fraught with the most ruinous consequences to the people. The people were told that without a National Bank we could neither rolleet- a. rrMrnni n rr tnr.aufi-i11 v ir-k . i .aT inrpwp. 1 10 11. il ix NLrjiiiir- iiijii i r- " .-.-u. , . thneadcrs'drth CLMiiu jiul ijv Huieiy lumiufiuu; huh, uuovd ail, the credit system would be destroyed, property sacrificed, and generally ruin ensue. If Demo crats were elected we were told the public lands were to be given awaj''to the new States ; that if the Independent Treasury and the Democrat ic policy of reducing the Tariff prevailed, then all the great interests of the country would be destroyed. Reader, do you remember the aw ful pictures of ruin which were the theme of whig orators and whig newspapers? Demo cratic principles were not only abused and mis represented, but promiuent members of the De mocratic party were fiercely assailed with false hoods, with a view to proscribe them from socie ty or force them to surrender their long cher ished principles. If the Democrats started a candidate for Governor, the whig press and the leaders of the whig party would effect to treat him as a presumptuous upstart and raise the cry of "dehwgrigut" v-.This Aristocracy became so arrogant from a succession of triumphs, that during the existence of a war, commenced against the United States by Mexico, they ac tually declared their own country to be in the wrong. The whig candidate for-Governor de clared he would not give an old pencil for Cali fornia. Under such a reckless warfare had the Democratic party of North Carolina tox-ontend. No party could have triumphed under such cir cumstances, except a party whose principles were founded upon truth and justice. -But a brighter day has dawned, and victory has perched on our banner. Error has fled be fore the lights of truth and experience; and the Democratic party is in power. We would ask, what prediction of the Whig '..party' has been fulfilled? , Has the want of a National Bank ruined the country? Have the public lands been given away, as the Whigs predicted twenty years ago would be the case if Democrats had the power? Has not Democratic policy made large acquisitions to our Territory? Has the Su!-Treasury ruined the country? Has the Democratic party in regard to the Tariff ruined the manufacturer aud impoverished the Farmer? Is not the country happy, prosperous and free? As if to show the. madness and folly of the Whig party in declaring California to be worth nothing, treasurers of gold unexampled in the history of the world have been pouring into our midst to enhance the prosperity of this great country. Again, we would inquire at what period in the history of North Carolina has she been more prosperous than under the '"present Democratic State administration? What interest is less prosperous tnan it was under any Vhig admin istration? Have not your public improvements increased? What administration has done more to produce reform and advance equal rights ? Under what administration did the people ever receive as much School money? Under what administration did your State Bonds ever sell for a premium, or when did the credit of the State ever stand so high? Under what admin istration of the Whig party.-has so much been done to develope the wealth and resources of the State? Under what administration has the prosperity of the State increased so rapidly as under the present Democratic administration.. of State affairs? For what then, wc ask, do the Whigs wish to change our policy? The answer must be for power and office alone! Will the people forget their own interests just to gratify the ambition of Whig politicians ? We answer, they will not. They have been too often de ceived by the promises of the whig politicians. Then brother Democrats we have the facts on our side; our cause is just; let us take cour age, and do our duty in the coming contest, and our efforts will be crowned with a glorious vic tory a victory that will still farther advance the prosperity and the rights of the people. - .. From Harper's Magazine.

In the old grave gard, in the edge of the town, In corners obscure and lone, They have gone to rest, & the gay young sprigs Have dropped off one liy one! Olr don't you remember the jng, Ben Bolt, And the spring at the foot of the bill, Where oft we've lain in the summer hours,7 And drank to our utmost fill? The Spring is filled with mud, Bent Bolt, And the wild hogs root around, And the good old jug, and its whiskey sweet, Lies broken and spilled on the ground. Oh don't you remember the tareni, Ben Bolt, And the bar keeper kind and true ; And the little nook at the end of the bar, Where we swallowed the rum he drew? The tavern is burst to the ground, -Bent Bolt, The bottles are cracked ami dry, And of all the boys who ' spreed ' it there, There remain but you and I. PoncKLAtN'. We understand the contractors on the end of the Central Road from this place to Goldsboro' have met with a serious obstacle in laying the superstructure on a hundred yards or so of the road a few miles below Neuse river that much of a deep cut being through a bed of porcelain clay, which is bo soft and mushy that the timbers upon it soon sink out of sight. Its depth lias not been sounded, and doubts arc entertained whether substantial works can be erected over it. Though it may greatly em barrass the builders of the road it may turn out to be a valuable discovery, and good may come of evil. Raleigh Star. The xkxt Cnor.- Wc see notices in the pa pers, advising farmers to plant large spring crop!" as the inducements held out are more flattering than at any previous time. We need not tell our farmers, that, in our opinion, pro duce of every description will hereafter com mand high prices, even in the home market, as they seem to be aware of the fact, and are mak ing arrangements for large and increased crops. Our facilities of transportation should also be taken into consideration, as the demand for American brcadstuffs abroad is likely to continue for years, or at least until after the production of another crop. The weather, thus far, has been unfavorable for early plowing and sowing, but we hope our agricultural friends will shortly have a few-weeks of fair weather, to enable them fully to prepare theirground for the summer's crops.

The official returns to the Treasury Department show that in the quarter ending on the 3 1st of December last, the sales of public land amounted to up wards of $2,000,000. This is the largest reve nue that has accrued from that source since 183G. It is stated by a Washington paper that the Treasury Department anticipate that the receipts in money from the sales of public lands, in the current year will reach $8,000,000: Mhb U President Ualkcrf In reilv to this very general inqulfv. a Orleans paper gives the following lIogrnpliy f the new President of Lower California- v it !i Souora annexed i "William Walker is a native of Ttiux -born at Nashville, we believe, ttlierc his f.if!, r still lives, secretary of an insurance company there. His father, we think, is a Scotchman by birth, although long n resident in the I 11 i ted States. The Scotch features are strongly mark ed in the features of the Hon, Who isoflirht blue eyes, face much freckled, but with an air of unmistakable energy with which his v !io! character corresponds. He was originally in tended for the medical profession, and Mu li .i iu Paris. r J ' " - After spending' fcvcr:U years in I'ur. p. , iu which he improved and disciplined nuintclln t naturally strong, he came to the city of .Ww j Orleans with the intention of 2r;ic Ii nir. Ilnl I his impatient disposition and his passion fur pu! uu mi-, iei mni 10 tiiuiige mat purpose; ami forthwith applied himself to the ftiiy ol t f, law, and prepared himself diligently for the bar. "The bar did not find occupation cnou-li for him; and being a vigorous thinker, and a ready writer, and full of :. informal ion upon all (opk of current interest, he' took interest in u u papers and politics, and in the winter of 1 s 1:-. '411 became directly connected with the n of this city, as one of the proprietors ns;if !i torsofthe Crcscr.nL. The enterprise did not pre profitable. The paper was sold out toother parties in the fall of that year, and Mr Walker soon after followed the tide of emigration to San Francisco. He resumed his profession there, at the same time continuing his pursuit -as a journalist. In one of the disputes whirb grew out of his newspaper articles, he became involved in a duel with one of hi cotemporaries in which he was wounded. He acquired furthr r prominence by a pnblic controversy with one of the State Judges, by whom he wan committed for contempt, and gained mndi reputation for resolution and ability in the manner with whieU he conducted the effort to obtain the im peachment and removal of the Judge for tyranny and misconduct in office. Mr Walker argued the case before the Legislature, with a power of logic and learning whieh won him much esteem. "The attempt failed. Mr Walker then ino ed into the interior, practicing law at Marysville, we believe since whieh we have heard of him only incidentally, until this expedition .brine . -him out as proclaimed President of an extem pore Republic in the California- neninsula. J "Mr Walker is a young man et, to li i- passcd through all these vicissitudes, lie i of small size and slight t frame, buUcrcct, vigo rous, used to athletic exercise, very nctiw 'm habits of personal bravery, approaching to rash ness, and an inflexibility of will in the proven -tion of his purposes which nothing external can shake. He is of the best stuff out of whi h revolutionizing bodies ure made. We de""ire t say. nothing of the merits of his present under taking. It looks like a very wild advent i;re, touched up strongly with the mock-heroic' First Annual Report of (he riInihi(oii, . ( ., s-;;-mcnV Friend Society. At the close of a season of signal prosperif v. the King of Israel reviewed the dealings of God with him, and thus gave utterance to llir f . i ings of his grateful heart. " Tit,u ercimrst , year -irifh thy goodness" so would the Tru-te of the Wilmington Seamen's Friend Society n cognise and record the divine goodness w'hieh has crowned the first year of their active opera tions. The origin of the Society was but. the little spring, bubbling up away iu the mountain so small that a single ox on a .summer dav might have drained it dry; but in its (low f. r a while lost underground, aud there reappear ing other kindred streams have fallen in, and now it i. n respectable brook, with the pro pr i of swelling to a river to make glad the City ' our God. - To secure the objects of the Society, viz: Un social and moral improvement of seamen, and their humane treatment, it wax deemed fund i mental to -establish a 'good Sailer's Honn n Boarding House of good character, where they should be protected in their money and moral-.; where they should respect themselves ami gain the respect of others; where the sick, the vs reek ed and destitute may be provided for, and hIk jv, with a divine blessing, their feet may be turn d info the pathway of life. A commodious lot. and house for this purpose have been jmrcha h l and partially occupied, L tensive repairs, ne d ful to put the house in complete order, so thai the stores underneath may furnish an annua; rent towards its support, and rooms be fitti 1 t accommodate at one time at least 100 men, lia 1 been commenced, and will be carried on to com pletion, as fast as the means can be obtain.. A financial statement, both of the receipts ami exenditures of the Society, is herewith s'it, mittcd showing the -receipts to have, been $8501 45, and the expenditures $7, 1"G s; leaving in the Treasury $544 -"5. Be.-ide there are good subscriptions payable on call t ,. the amount of $3,250 74. It is estimated th:. t $5,000 more will be indispensable to mak- t!. building what it should be, and $2,000 or inmv to furnish the rooms. To the Ladies' Seamen's Friend Society, x ccntly organized for this purpose, we look wit It entire confidence for their labors of love in tie last named amount; and to the continued in defatigable labors of our Agent, the Rev. W. J. Langdon, together with our own co-operation, to secure the former. The substantial cordiality which he und. tie' cause of seamen have everywhere received ha, greatly cucouraed our hearts. Our pn -.-a prevailing sentiment is that wc are pledged to . work not as a charity but as a debt long- dm to our brethren of the sea, which, with divim aid, must be carried ou to completion. We earnestly covet both the honor and reunrd co-operating with the American Seamen's Frier d Society and all kindred institutions in gatla 1 -iug the harvest of the sea; and when the r.l.m. dance of the sea shall have been converted, v, hope to Vicar some humble part in the Mug which shall ascribe all the glory to God.
