The only question to be de termined is, has the nation, so far as other pow ers are concerned, made a substantial change iu its rulers or institutions? Such is, according to international law, the only.questiou to be settled by the U. S. in the case of Xicaragua. When the first minister of the new government, Mr French, presented himself at Washington, it was not clear that the government he repre sented was anything more than a military irrup- 1 tiou of a temporary nature. Jubsequent events ,,avc showI1 tiat the existing government of Xicaragua has sustained itself for eight months and more, and that it is able to carry on a foreign war.

As the canvass progresses in this State, we may expect to hear the opposition in some quarters harping or. the Revenue Hill passed by the last Legislature, and blaming the j democrats for the present high taxes. The : Asheville Xews says that leading know-nothings in the Mountain District are .attempting to excite the prejudices of the people against the democratic party on this account. They are complaining of the bill, and tlieNews learns that their candidates generally are to take ground against it. What do those worthies, who wish to make capital for the know-nothing party out of the action of the last Legislature, want' the democrats to do? Do they want a democratic . .. Legislature to build Railroads all over the fttate, and then refuse to levy taxes to pay tor them? Do they want the State to repudiate her debt, and thus consign her to everlasting , . .. disgrace? Or do they want merely to excite j the prejudices of the people in order to injure democratic candidates? Either intention or desire is equally unfair as it is unworthy any j set of men or a party claiming respectability, J If such tricks as this are not openly resorted , to by the know-nothing press of the State, the the Asheville ZSews, speaking on this subject, snvs: .hit. r . ... ... . . w uaii.-, .ur txiimer s position on this point.'

He said the slavery question was settled under Mr Fillmore; that he left the country quiet; that the two great parties in 1852, had pledged themselves to abide bv' the compro mise of 1S50, but had not done so, and hence the present agitation. Gov. Bragg replied sit length, and evidently with great power. We learn that he met Mr Gihnerat every point, completely and thorough ly exposing the unsoundness of his positions and their sectional character. He said he was against disturbing the basis on which thc School Fund is at present distributed; that he would say so in Cherokee, and say so in the East; that his opinions were State aad not .sectional opinions; that he regretted that his competitor had revived, this question, because it could do no good, and might injure the Common Schools, now prospering under the management of our effieient State Superintendent; and he then called upon Mr Gilmer to say what he would no on tins suDjeet, if elected Governor. .Mr Gilmer at first declined to answer; but at length said the opinions advanced by' him on the subject were- his private oninions' and that if elected Governor he would not recommend j any change!! Then, said G practically no difference bet competitor makes a public ai Gov. Bragg, there is between us: but mv argument in order to express his private opinions, and makes it iu such a way as he thinks will get him votes in this region. Gov. Bragg then argued the question of Free Suffrage, the Kansas-Nebraska act, and bore down with mftch force on the K. X. platform and the opinions and practices of the organiza tion in various parts of thc country. His reply to Mr G. was overwhelming. We learn that the Democrats and anti-know-nothings were in the highest spirits; and that Gov. Bragg 'a vote will be largely increased in the mountain country. Standard. 1 F A Y E TT E VI L I E, N. C Congress. Last week the President sent a message to the Senate in regard to affairs in Central America and settin" forth his reasons for receiving the Xicnrngnau minister. Mr Crittenden' denounced the act, and expressed a ! fear, that it would cause war bet ween England and this country. Mr Weiler of California, . sustained the action of the Executive, and re- viewed Walkers historv and his advent into Nicaragua. If the action of the American Government is to be regulated by the opinions ;and desires of England, and nothing done j (however right) for fear of offending her, it is (time that the people should know it, in order 1 that they ma v act 'accordingly. Great Britain I . - has no right to take offence at the recognition of the .Nicaragua!! minister bv this government, - and her growlings ought not to influence action in the jiremises Mr Mason, of Ya., replied to Mr Critten den's remarks as follows: "The President of Xicaragua has a right to put himself in communication with us, and to demand that we shall communicate with him politically if he can show that his government is a stable one of a character which is entitled to our respect and consideration. Now, sir, I do not know what the senator from Kentucky (Mr Crittenden) means when he says that in the course of a week, the country will think itself on the verge of war because the government of Xicaragua lias been recog- i.Sused. V ith whom are we to go to war? AVhat f the- threat of war? It certainly does not i come from ( entral A mnrira or frnni nuv of tlio ! , : nations adjoining it. Whence, then, is this cloud to arise? Am I to construe the honorable senator as meaning that, because another foreign transatlantic government has more than once intermeddled with the domestic as well as the political affairs of the State of Xicaragua, we are to be deterred from our course, or even to be in the slightest degree affected in the relations which we may" think it proper to establish with her, because of any apprehension from that quarter? I confess that I entertain no sueli apprehensions; but if I thought that the recognition of this government would bring to an issue me questions which are depending .. t i Dcincun us anu any u c m I ailO l W iatever. ; Hght, I shoidd then only be left j to judp of the expediency o nece crating or ioreign nation w hatever.

Sir, we know very well that the government of the United States has not attempted, in an' instance, to avail itself of advantages, far less to acquire rights, by negotiation with one of the American powers, which we may consider as domestic powers, that the governments, both of Fiance and England, have not interfered, uiu Micecssliilly irnstrateil our efforts. e know, as is stated in the message of the Presi- i11' - '"1 1,1 rL;1:lV" loiearagun, mat, although i ieai iritaiu has not asserted a right to take j effectually done the same thing under her! il(lr.VMlMI 111 I.

A . . ... . . . uc two messages vetoing bills for- improving ' . . : . . ' tlie -Mississippi and ftt. Clair rivers. In the j nnsc, Mr Keitt moved a suspension of the i rules to enable hira to introduce a resolution 1 for the- adjournment of Congress on the 5th of !

Our sister town of Wilmington had a grand military display on Tuesday last, the Anniver sary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence. The Wilmington L-ght Infantry Companv having invited the Fayettevilie In- j dependent Company and the Raleigh Guards to j visit that town, they did so, and we copy from j j the Journal of Wednesday the following account j of the proceedings: Yestcrdav morning the battallion turned out i to receive the Fayettevilie Independent Light Infantrv. and accompany them uovyu to tne intersection of Front and Market Streets, where John A. Baker. Esq.. on behalf of the Light 1 11 I j Infantry, tendered a hearty welcome to tlie j visiting soldiers from our sister towns of Fay-; ! etteville and Raleigh O. S. T. J. Robinson responded on behalf of the Fayettevilie Company, and Capt. Harrison i on behalf of that of Raleigh. We did not enjoy the pleasure of hearing the remarks of; any of the gentlemen, on tins occasion, but have heard them very highly spoken of. About ten o'clock, thc companies commenced forming on Market street, above and below Second street. 'The Wilmington Light Infantry, preceded by the Cornet B.ind, took ' up their position on Market, above Second; the Oak City Cuards next came upon the ground and performed some beautiful evolutions in fine style. Soon after, the Fayettevilie Independ ent Light Infantry marched up, presenting a most soldierly appearance and full ranks. The Independent Light Infantry is the oldest com pany in the State, and one of the oldest in the Union; and, like good wine, it appears to gather strength from age. It is a corps of which our sister town may well be proud. The Companies then marched to the place selected for Target practice, at Green's Barn, below the lower mills; and it really seemed as though half the town had gone with them, at any rate it would have seemed so to any one seeing the display made on the field of contest if not of battle. Some very capital shooting was done all round, but all could not win, and finally the prize remained with our Fayettevilie j visitors, the medal being awarded to private Samuel G.

The Medal and Goblet were presented from the steps of the Bank of Cape Fear, the lirst by Adam Empie, Esq., to whom responded i James Banks, Esq., on behalt of Mr ott and the Fayettevilie company generally; the Gob let was presented to Ensign White by Col. Cantwell, and received by that gentleman in pwrson. This whole matter went off handsomely. The Companies and invited guests closed the exercises of the dav, by a dinner at Brown's Railroad Hotel. The decoration of the dining j saloon, draped with flags, and adorned with j flowers, was very fine indeed. We give the regular toasts as they have been handed to u- To the toast connecting 41aleigh.

It was a pleasant occasion, and passed off without anything to mar its harmony At an early hour, that is, within a very reasonable hour from the time of setting down to the table, the companies formed again and marched down town. To-day the companies started down the river on the "Spray," for an excursion to the Bar, Fort Caswell, the Fishing Grounds, etc. We trust they will have "a good time." The Wilmington Herald states the shots as follows: The first prize, the gold medal, was won by private Samuel G. Xott, of the Fayettevilie Independent Light Infantry Company, whose shots averaged o 1 1-1 G inches, and who also made the best single shot in that company. The silver goblet, shot for by the Wilmington Light Infantry Company alone, was won by ensign I). G Wiiite, whose shots averaged 5l inches. The best average shot of the O ik Citv Guards was made by pioneer Thos. Howie, 5 1-1 (i inches the best single shot in the company by private Jno. Spellman. Poetical. Our friends, Messrs. Brown & Anderson, have become poets, per force of circumstances. A portion of the inscription on the Medal, when filled up, as they are now engaged in doing, will make a fair rhyme, reading as follows: For the best shot, To Samuel G. Xott. Wil. Journal.
