Durinir the absence, of the committee, W.
McL. McKay, Esu., of Fuyettevillc, being
called upon, addressed the meeting in an able
and eloquent manner.
The committee returned and reported through
their chairman the following resolutions, viz:
Hes.Tved, That the Democratic party of
Robeson do mo.-t cordially approve Hie ad
ministration of President l'ierce, and the
patriotic and just principles which have gov
erned his course in relation to the foreign and
domestic affairs of our country. In Gen.
l'ierce we have a tried and faithful friend to
the Union and the constitution, and we deem it
our bounden duty, as true democrats, to stand
by him, giving him our hearty and undivided
co-operation and laboring with willing minds
for the success of deiiirx-rutie principles.
Resolved, That Franklin J'ierce ami James
C. Dobbin are our first choice for President
and Vice President of the United States, and
we hereby instruct, as far as this meetiing can
do so, our delegates from this Congressional
District, in the National Convention to lie held
in Cincinnati in June next, to vote for Pierce

them nominated bv said Convention.

nominally, because he teared, lunnily enough,

I hold it to be certain, that if the time shall
ever come when the South shall be in a clear
minority in the Senate, as it is in the House
and Electoral College, that the aggressive
spirit of the North will direct the legislation of
Congress so that the South will be obliged to
abandon the Union. We must always be in a
! minority in the House of Representatives and
! the Electoral College, and to guard against the
wrongs that majorities are prone to inflict, the
South must not be in a minority in the Senate.
It is worse tluin useless to disguise from our
selves the tendency of events. Heretofore, the
safety of the South has been in party; now its
only hope of safety is in party, let us aim at a
higher security, and that without a change in
no matter how strong the j the Constitution, can be found only, in at least

Daniel Webster has arrived at this port with
advices from San Juan to the 20th inst., and
San Francisco to the oth inst. Col. Kinney
had gone to Granada to effect an alliance with
Walker. All the Central American States
except Nicaragua had formed an alliance.
The accounts from the mines were excellent.
No U. S. Senator had been elected, and there
was little probability of an election being
effected. Foote was the nominee of the 'Ameri

both formerly Collectors of the port of San

funds. No lighting had occurred in

other pilot whose ship is well provided, more
charts than one. Laughter. The ship sails
not only over federal waters, but over State
waters. I will remember the chart of the
United States when on federal waters, and
when I come into State waters, I will then re
member that there is another chart to steer by.
Applause. And as your toast says, I will
remember not only the chart but the compass
too If there be anything that is 11 myth
anything spiritual in physics it is that mag
netism which makes the needle turn to the
pole; and if there be anything in politics that
is n myth, and which is spiritual, it is that in
visible thing which you call State sovereignty.
Applause. I will remember all the uses of
the compass. That scintillating diamond of
the sky, which we call the North Star, I will
steer by, and when my ship is borne away from
here, and the star sinks below the horizon, I
will look in the heavens for another sun the
star of the Southern Cross. Applause. And
I am to remember the anchor. I will remem

remember the anchor. The anchor has no
uses in the deep, deep sen; the anchor has no
uses in the unfathomed profounds of events. In
I grappling ground, however, wherever we can
put out the anchor, I shall do so, right bower
and left bower, so that the ship may ride safe
from truck to keelson. Rut when the storm
comes, and we have to face old vEolu., 1 will
hoist mv anchor and "lie to," as sailors say. in her name."
Great applause. I will remember that your
compass of States' rights still points me to the
chart. I say on this occasion to the men of
the Commercial Convention, that in the light of
a sectional and controversial assemblage, it
may mean to do more harm than good to hold
such assemblages, unless there be in them unity
of action. R.it there is, however, more than

mands superiority, not for its protection, but
for our ruin. Whenever, therefore, it shall be
that Mr A. had "sold himself to the Dutch"
the Know Nothings. Though we look on that
reason, as, to say the best of it, an exceedingly
fanciful one, and have a notion that he was
"sort o' i raid" to vote for the owner of from one
thousand to fifteen hundred slaves. Yet we
believe that Abolitionism will make nothing

Difficulties in' thk Way of Peace. Ac
cording to the views of a Rerlin correspondent
of the Loudon Post, the matter of negotiating
a peace will be one of much delicacy and diffi
culty, aside from what are called the "points,"
or basis of the arrangement between the con
tracting parties. The writer intimates that
the possible and probable matters of difference
which the "four points" do not adjust, are the
relative naval force which the Russians a!i
and Turks are to have in the Rlack Sea; the
forts on the Circassian coast, which are not
mentioned, not coming under the denomination
of arsenals; the residence of Consuls of France
and England in the Russian Euxine ports,
which is not stipulated for in language that
cannot be explained away; the Asiatic frontier
which as England well knows, needs to be
regulated: the Aland Isles and Roinarsune, to
which great importance has been attached, and
yet respecting which no engagement has been
made. "Of course," says the correspondent
"It will not lie supposed that, by admitting the
fifth proposition, (that 'the belligerent powers
reserve to themselves the rights which apper
tains to them of producing, in a European
interest, special conditions over and above the
four guarantees,') Russia has promised before

points. hat Austria has specineu as terms

Singular Death of the Late Minister of

Look out fou Counterfeits. We saw a
few days ago, one of those counterfeit $20
notes on the Bank of Charlotte, which have
been heretofore described in this paper. It is
a dangerous counterfeit, requiring considerable
knowledge of bank notes to detect it. This one
came from one of the upper counties, and we
understand that several others have been de
tected here.
P. S. Since the above was in type we have
seen another of these counterfeits, which came
from a different county from the first. We fear
they are widely scattered. Observer.

sectionalism in holding these conventions. Its!
high and chief object is to hold your Union j
sate. If, in the course of events, one party in a
Union becomes so weak as to be likely to
become provincialized, there can be nothing
more dangerous to the perpetuity of the Union
than such weakness. You must, therefore,
exert your wisdom and energy to restore the
equilibrium. You must concentrate capital
and population in the South. Rut how? You
may resolve and re-resolve, and resolve again,
but no good will come of it unless yon act, and
act with energy. Yon must act in concert as
well as individually. In the kingdom of com
merce, as Pi the kingdom of grace, each must
look out for himself. Laughter. We hear
a good deal said about balance of trade. The
great cause of capital here and throughout the
world, is not the balance of trade, but it is the
centre of trade. I don't care how many
millions of dollars London may owe New York
it don't alter the fact that a Spanish mill dollar
is worth more in London than in New York;
and
-
- e w
lact that a tepanish mill dollar is worth more
in New York than it is in Virginia. And the
reason of it is that London is to New York
what New York is to Virginia, the centre of
trade. And it is absurd to think of deposing
New York from her position. New York is
irresistibly made, by the law of the trade winds
by the law of iceburgs, by her situation, the first
seat of commercial trade for the country.
Philadelphia fought her for fifty years for
the custom house, and had to give up the fight.
ATter New York, Moston, and Philadelphia,
Raltimore, your city (turning to Gen, Tilgh
man) is the fourth centre of trade; and mark
the fact that you have to coast along the At
lantic to New Orleans before you come to
another centre of commerce. That is the fifth,
Cincinnati is the sixth. Rut Virginia has no
centre of commerce of her own, because she has
not exerted her influence, tunnelled the moun
tain and rolled up the big bend of the Ohio,.
Applause. Gentlemen, I did not mean to
make an argument or speeeh to-night on inter
nal improvements. Rut I do say here to the
men of Virgiuia that this State is rich enough
for every son of hers to do her reverence.
Applause. Her people have energy enough
and strength enough to do her work. Loud

the New Yorkers have built a dam across the
Cheinnng river in order to turn its waters into
the Chemnne- canal. That Canal extends to
the S.-neca lake and discharges its waters there
The outlet of the Seneca Lake is into Lake
Ontario. So that the water thus taken out of
the Chemung river, is never restored to it, so
that when it turns into this State its volume is
greatly reduced as a feeder of the Susquehanna
river, and our public improvements are injured
Our State government has taken the matter
in hand, and quite a difficulty may arise out
ot it.
If the New York dam is broken down, their
canal may be useless. If kept up our North
Rraneh may lack water and be useless. Which
shall have the river? Pennsylvania lias the
best right. It rises in this State, and by its
natural course returns to this State, where it is
ascful and is now in use. New York may usi

another channel so that we lose it. There is a

promotion of its efficiency, about which so many
of the reformed officers are complaining:

We are reminded by this of the brave Eng
lishman who lost'a leg and arm in the battle on
Lake Erie, in our war. On arriving in London,
he wrote a letter to a beautiful young lady,
who was affianced to him, saying that his mis
fortune in war had not left him the same man
he was when he took leave of her; that he was
mutilated in person, though as whole in heart
as ever.
The noble girl replied that she was ready at
auy moment to consummate their nuptials ;"that
as long as he had body enough left to contain
his noble heart, her own was wholly and onlv

still, the action ot the board is not altogether
without benefits. It has convinced the entire
navy that our government requires labor, com
petency, and fidelity in its employees. It has
aroused those officers who remain to a renewed
zeal, by convincing them that the eyes of a
scrutinizing public are fixed upon them. It has
admonished the older class of officers that their
honor requires them to retire voluntarily before
the imbecility of superannuation renders them
incapable of their duty. It has spoken in
distinct terms to the young men who are just
upon the threshold of naval life, telling them
that merit will be rewarded, aud-that incompe
tency, idleness, and infidelity will be sternly
rebuked. It will prove a terror to all who
attempt to make public employment a painless
sinecure, and afford a substantial hope to those
who are able and willing to render to their
country a faithful service. j
"The beneficial effects have already begun to i
be felt in every department of the naval service.
Instead of striving to see how little they can do,
our officers are beginning to exhibit interest
and zeal in their important vocation. They
are no longer hankering after the idle pleas
ures of the land, but prefer the active labors
and the exciting dangers of their appropriate
sphere. A secovd naval retiring board will
find a different spirit prevailing among the
honored guardians of our commerce; they will
have little of idleness to rebuke, little of incom
petency to remove, little occasion to remind
those whom age has rendered unfit for service
that their duty is to make room for younger
men.

to send in to the Senate lugubrious jeremaids
