Among the prominent gentlemen who are memlicrs
of the Convention, may Ik- mentioned Hon. Asa Biggs,
Hon. Abram Uencher, Robt. I. Dick, J. G. Shepherd,
VT. W. Holden, Win. J. Clark, Esqrs.
I have never seen more zeal and enthusiasm exhibited
than has been shown for Mr Bragg, lie is from all
accounts a man of eminent ability and sterling worth
a man. whose character and standing are leyond the
reach of calumny. He is extremely popular in the far
West, and his claims were zealously advocated by the
niemlx-rs from the mountain counties. There is no
doubt of his acceptance of the nomination. For
although he is now in the enjoyment of a lucrative
practice at the tar. which he will have to give up. and
receive in its stead the picayune salary attached to the
Governor's office, he is too good a democrat and too
sound a patriot to hesitate in the course to le pursued.
lie is a brother of the illustrious soldier who, at the
1 tattle of I'uena Vista, covered himself and the American
namewhh glory. "Bragg's battery' did the work
for the enemies of our country then, and Bragg's battery
will demolish all the opposition in the opening canvass.
With a proper exertion on the part of the democrats
throughout the State, victory is certain.
The Convention adjourned sine die on Thursday
evening.
Cumberland county was represented in the Conven
tion hv Alex Murohison. Neill McKav. Jr, C G Wright,
J G Shepherd, C II CoHeld, and R K Uryan.
3F"The announcement of the nomination of
Thomas Bit.vf:, Esq., as the democratic candi
date for Governor, we presume will not be very
acceptable to Gen Dockery, for in his speeches
at Gates ville and Eliza beth City,he bitterly com
plained of being annoyed by democratic "stri
kers." And as Mr Bragg was engaged in deal
ing sonic very heavy blows at the whig candi
date and his principles at the former place, it is
thought that there is a strong probability for
th'xsnnnntfftncf.of the General to continue through
out the campaign.
"Tie General Dockery was replied to by
Mr Bragg, who made a most able and sophis
tical Argument., as he Ls sdwiyit .capable of
doing." Indent on IVhig. -"..:
If a whig paper can speak of our candidate in
Mich commendable terms as the above, indeed
he must be " some."
THE RAILROAD C O U .11 E X C EI .
We have the gratification of announcing that
tlie work on the Fayetteville and Western
Railroad has heen commenced. Messrs Sey-
the whole Road, have let out the grading of
the first four miles to Messrs Jones & Barbce,
who commenced actual operations on Thursday
last, near the residence of Joshua Carman, Esq.
We understand they have sixt' or seventy-five
hands at work, and from their known energy
in prosecuting other works in which the' have
Iieen engaged, we may expect their portion of
the line to be ready for the cross-ties in a short
time.
The corps of Engineers arc at work locating
the balance of the road, and it is the intention of
the contractors to have operations commenced
on the whole line immediatel. There is no
doubt now that the welcome sound of a locomo
tive's whistle will soon salute the cars of our citi
zens. We congratulate the citizens of Fayetteville
ou these auspicious signs. From henceforth
the prosperity of our town is certain.
P. & W. Plank Road. A. A. McKethan,
Esq., has resigned as one of the Directors of
this Company, and the Board have elected
John II. Cook, Esq, to fill the vacancy. Jno.
M. Rose has been re-elected Clerk to the Board,
and Saml. W. Tillinghast Treasurer.
The resignation of the Engineer, Francis F.
Cooper, has been received, to take effect on the
first of May.
Blore repudiation of (he Whig Platform.
At a whig meeting in JTcnderson county on
the 1th inst., resolutions were passed in favor
of an unrestricted Convention, disapproving of
the sixth resolution of the whig platform, and
recommending a Convention to be held in Ashe
ville on the 5th of June to determine upon the
proper course to pursue. Ten delegates were
appointed to attend said Convention. -
This move is one of the signs of the times,
and indicates the retribution the whig wire
pullers are certain to receive for their hypocrisy.
At first the whig leaders of Xorth Carolina
were dead against Free Suffrage; but now, after
finding that the people were determined to have
it, they express themselves favorable to the
measure, but say that it must be accomplished
by a Convention, hence the wishey-washer reso
lution of the whig platform. The people are
beginning to see what a cheat the whig leaders
are trjrinj to palm upon them, and, therefore,
they are renouncing them and their measures.
The indications in the West are indeed gloomy
for the Dockery cause. Ditto in the East.
Speaking of the Convention policy of the
t whi;? party, tlie Atdicville Xpwb eoys-t"
" This convention movement, even by the most
of those who brought it into existence we
speak now of the leaders who work the wires;
not of the masses who were deceived, iras never
advocated in pood faith. It presents the strange
anomally of one of the purest of principles
sprung from one of the vilest sources. Its very
origin was corrupt. It was born in iniquity.
Had it not been for the necessity of something
to counterbalance Democratic Free Suffrage,
"Convention" would never have seen the light."
J8saS The Observer and the Argus labor hard
to clear Gen. Dockery of the scrape he got into
when he stated in his Smithfield speech that he
gave the "first, long, big and heavy lick for
Free Suffrage in the State Convention of 1835,
when he voted to give the election of Governor
to the people." We copied an article from the
Standard last week showing that Gen. Dockery
was absent from the Convention (and conse
quently did not vote) when the clause giving
the election of Governor to the people was
adopted. Neither the Observer nor the Argus
have produced anything refuting the truth of
the statement; on the contrary they acknow
ledge that Gen. Docker' was absent on a visit
to Wake Forest College when the vote in ques
tion was taken, but seek to reconcile his asser
tion with the record by the fact that he voted
in the affirmative "when the final vote was taken
upon all the amendments." That Gen. Dockery
recorded his vote for "all the amendments" when
the final vote was taken has not been questioned,
but that he did not give the 'first' lick for Free
Suffrage has been clearly proven, for he was not
in striking distance. His voting for the amend
ed Constitution as a whole does not substan
tiate the assertion made by him in his Smithfield
speech. The Standard of Wednesday, in re
gard to this subject., says;
"The vote on adopting the Constitution as a
whole was 81 to 20: aud raanv members, there
fore, voted for it who did not approve all it
contained. Gen. Docker', as the records show,
was opposed to the article in the old Constitu
tion which excludes Catholics from office, but
he did not vote to alter it, because he feared the
people would reject the Constitution if the altera
tion were made. Hie alteration was made,
however, against his convictions of expediency;
and yet he. voted for the Constitution as a whole,
which contained not only this, but the two
thirds provision already referred to, and which
he proposed to strike out. If, therefore, as the
Register claims, he voted for every thing em
braced in the Constitution when lie voted for it
as a whole, he deliberately voted to undo, to
reverse his former action in relation to the two
questions above named. But this cannot be
reasonably presumed; he voted for the Con
stitution as a whole, as the best that could be
done; and there is no proof, which deserves the
name of proof, (aside from his own assertion at
this time) that he was favorable in the Conven
tion of 1835 to extending to the people the right
to elect their Governor."
Tlie Black Warrior Difficulty Spanish Arrogane.
In a portion of our last week's issue we no
ticed the fact that the Captain of the U. S.
steam frigate Columbia had refused to salute
the Spanish flag at Havana, in consequence of
a gross indignity offered by a Spanish news
paper on the Island to the President of the TJ. S.
Whilst the late message of President Pierce
(says the Washington Union) on the Black
Warrior affair was objected to by some of our
citizens as too tame in its tone, the Spanish
officials, at Havana seem to regard it as breath
ing quite a warlike spirit. The Diario, which
is the official paper at Havana, condescends to
notice the message, bnt at the same time de
clares that the press in the United States "has
long forfeited all credit and repute among men
of judgment and scuse all over the world, and
accordingly reaps nothing more than it deserves
scorn and contempt ; but it will not be im
proper on the part of the editor of a Spanish
newspaper in this case to rise up against, and
argue with, the President of those States when
he too comes to lower himself so far as to write
in the manner we have seen" in the message.
After making a most grandiloquent appeal to
Spaniards ;and foreigners, and the rest ; of niau-;
kind, this arrogant organ of the Spanish cajitain
general proceeds :
''Know ye, good men of all countr'cs and opinions,
that this is the language which now is fired from the
chair once occupied by the Apostle of justice, peace,
and moderation, by the philosopher, the honoroble
Washington! Behold him initiating, ikhkb I'Isetexce
so insm;xikicaxt, a war that would for two nations be
a bloody one, and to them more painful, as experience
would show. Heboid him listening to none but the
trader punished for a fraud, in order to qualify at his
heart's desire, and with the utmost harshness, the con
duct of our first authority, a Spanish gentleman, whose
reputation is everywhere and in such a manner estab
lished that he well deserved the honor of a more min
ute investigation of his deeds before qualifying them
so outrageouslr."
This gross indignity, offered by the known
organ of the Spanish official, induced the true
hearted American consul to call upon the captain-general
to know if this insult to the Presi
dent of the United States was sanctioned by
him. Having received no satisfactory answer,
the article of the Diario was laid before one of
our gallant naval captains in the port of Ha
vana, and he determined to resent the indignity
by refusing to give to the Spanish flag the usual
salute.
The Southern Convention -
Adjourned on Saturday evening last, having
been in session just one week. As soon as we
receive an account of the final action of the
Convention on the many subjects brought be
fore it, we will lay it before our readers. Reso-
bked ajrsrression nf ths CVnr mincTnr.! lutions were nassed uririncr upon the Southern
States to unite to build the Pacific Railroad,
subscriptions for the stock to be taken at the
South. A resolution was rejected recommend
ing the appropriation of public lands to build
railroads.
The Convention is to meet again in the city
of New Orleans iu January next.
Progress or the WarLate from Europe.
By the arrival of the steamers Hermann and
America we have dates from Europe to the 1st
iust. England and France have formally de
clarewar against Russia. The Queen of Eng-
land.la uer : declaration of war; says that the
unprwOKed f
key ujs ueen persisted in with a total disregard
of consequences, and that she is compelled bv
a sens of duty to come forward and defend the
Sultaii and intends to do so at all hazards. She
has al.o issued a declaration in reference to the
commjree of neutrals, and states that she is
wilUii to waive a part of the rights of "belliger
ents appertaining to her by the law of nations
and aiso the right of seizing enemies' property
laden ou board of neutral vessels, unless they be
contraband articles of war Immense prepara
tions are going on in France and England for a
vigorous prosecution of the war. At the same
time -Russia is by no means idle, having fifty or
sixty thousand troops iu motion. Austria and
Prussia still reuiaiu neutral.
The war is to be in strict accordance with a
tjyaljbetweeu .the Porte, France, and England,
siv At he niSht of March the? 12tli, embrac
ing tJ Articles.
1st. England and France engage to support
Turkey by force of arms until the conclusion of
a peace shall secure the independence and in
tegrity of the Sultan's dominion.
2d. The Porte shall not conclude peace with
out the censent of her Allies.
3d. The Allies shall evacuate the Turkish
territories after the war.
4th. This treaty to remain open for the adhe
sion of other Powers of Europe.
5th. Turkey guarantees to all the subjects of
the Porte, without distinction of creed, perfect
equality in law.
On the 15th ult., while the Russian troops
were occupying a bridge near Toorkistan, the
Turks managed by some means to destroy it,
precipitating into the stream and drowning about
two thousand Russians. It is said that much
agitation exists in Hungary and Poland, and a
revolution in that quarter is anticipated.
In consequence of the warlike aspect of affairs,
flour, wheat and corn have considerably ad
vanced in price, and cotton has declined.
Congress. There has been but little business
transacted by Congress the past week. On
Friday the 14th, the House of Representatives
passed a bill "to graduate and reduce the price
of public lands to actual cultivators and settlers."
On Monday, Mr Shields presented to the
Senate a memorial signed by 13,000 persons,
requesting the appointment "of a scientific com
mission to investigate the mysterious Tappings
and other phenomena supposed to be occasioned
by the influence of spirits. It is stated that the
Mexican Treaty ws rejected by the Senate to
day. Wc learn, however, that the vote has
since been reconsidered so the treaty is still
before the Senate.

"As to the implicit confidence of the people
which President Pierce "relies upon," if people
means voters he seems to reiy upon a very frail
support if the recent elections may be consider
ed evidence." Observer.
We do not think that the recent elections
have intimated as much hostility to the Presi
dent as the Observer seems to suppose. Take
for instance the late gubernatorial election iu
Connecticut. The vote shows that the demo
erotic candidate for Governor leads the whig
candidate in every county in the State, and has
a majority over the whig candidate of about
eight thousand; but by the combined vote of
free-soilers, Maine-law men, and whigs, the
democratic ticket was defeated.
Of course in some. of the northern States a
few professing democrats have united with the
whigs in opposition to the President, but we
believe that the future will prove that the mass
of the people approve the administration of
Gen. Pierce, the opinion of the Observer to the
coutrary notwithstanding.
We sec in many Xorth Carolina whig
lapcrs a line extracted from the Asheville News,
a democratic paper, which is inserted for the
nirpose of making the impression that the edi
tor of that paper is now advocating an open
Convention. This is not the case. The News
was formerly favorable to an open Convention
and acted with the whig party, but when it
discovered the hypocritical policy pursued by
the leaders of that party, it renounced them,
and cleared its skirts of the heterogeneous doc
trines pertaining thereto.
The Asheville News will give a hearty sup
port to the democratic nominee, and is willing
to take Free Suffrage by legislative enactment.
We learn from the Salisbury Banner that the
Rev. Thalcs McDonald, whose arrest for forgery

sg-Thc whig candidate, General Dockery,
addressed the citizens of Elizabeth City on the
7th inst. W. F. Martin, Esq, replied to him,
and, as our fashionable tailors would say, give
him Jits. The General got rather wrathy he
charged that "Holden" had issued orders to
have him annoyed as much as possible; that he
had "strikers" out in different directions to
molest him, &c. &c. Rut when Mr Martin cal
led upon him to know whether he . meant to
characterize him (Martin) as one of " Holden's
strikers," the General disclaimed any specific
allusion. AVe expect democratic speeches are
quite annoying to the General, but it can't be
helped; he must grin and bear it until after the
election, then he may go home and rest trom
his labors.
JBfeiF-The Observer thinks that it has made

After retiring for a few minutes, the committee
reported the following resolutions which were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we approve of the proposi

Later Arrival of the Arctic.
The Arctic has arrived at New York with a
large number of passengers, and Liverpool dates

Nothing had been heard from the steamer
City of Glasgow. The war was progressing
vigorously along the Danube. Tlie Russian
arms so far as heard from, have been entirely
successful. Fifteen packet ships were fitting
up at Liverpool to convey troops to the scene
of action. The entire Russian fleet had left
Sebastopol. It is supposed the intention was
to attack A'ena. A new levy of 80,000 men had
been ordered in France. The ship Flarie Gioria
from Antwerp ostensibly for Montreal, has been
captured, and brought to the Downs. She was
loaded with arms for the Greek insurgents.
Troops were leaving England to go directly to
Constantinople. Advices received from Asia
indicate the commencement of hostilities iu that
qUtjfcer. Hie lvussians were preparing" to ut-

for the frontier.
A, French frigate had left Constantinople for
Athens, with an energetic note demanding the
suppression of hostile movements originating in
the Porte's territories. Mazzini was iu Swit
zerland. It was said an attempt would be made to ex
cite an insurrection in Lombard.
Vienna dates to the 31st, state that an im
perial manifesto was shortly expected, disap
proving the movements of Russia but promising
strict neutrality. Russia expects nothing from
Austria but neutrality.
The first intelligence from the Danube was
unfavorable to the Turks. The Russians had
captured Hirsowa on the 28th ult., and also
taken Babadagh. It was reported that they
had taken Isatchi, and hold entire possession of
Dotaudsha; and that 400 Russians had left
Sebastopol in a steamer to assist the movement
of Gontschakaff.
Beyond the Danube they were throwing rein
forcements iuto Varna, which was threatened by
the Russian fleet.
The Russians were raising all the fortresses
in the Debradsha. Russian loss at Tarterkai
2500.
It is stated that Omar Pasha anticipated the
Russian attack on Dotrudsha, aud ordered the
Turks to retreat to AVajans AVall, which was
strongly fortified, and where the Russians would
be compelled to encounter 00,000 Ottomans.
Admiral Napier had anchored off Moon
