The fallowing ( 'nmmimicatioii was sent to us l,it wieh, but not reaching this place before we were going to press, was unavoidably omitted in our last i.-.-ur. It is with pride and pleasure that we now lay it before our readers. The recoynmeii diithu of our esteemed fellow citi;:cn, who heads this aili-le and who is the Mihject of the letter ot our lJobeson County cornpondent, to the high portion of Jovcrnor of this Slate, will, no doubt, meet with a hearty response from the democrats in this and the adjoining counties, and his claims will also be favorably regarded by the State at lartre. It is useless for us to attempt to add unv- thhicr to the hiirh reputation which Mr Shepherd bus already won for himself. Whether we regard him in the light of a Christian gentleman, and citi zen, an able attorney, an upright and consistent politician, a liberal supporter of the works of in ternal improvement not only for his own Section, bill for every other portion of the State: or whether we 1 ok back ;it the last L.cgioiuturo and witness the dignified, honorable and satisfactory manner 'with which he discharged the trust then reposed in him as Speaker of the House of Ctii.mons. all must aceerd to him the meed of praise, and feel perfect confidence in him, knowing that he wil faithfully perform the functions of the Gubernato rial ()ili.:e, should he.receiv- the monination and be elected to the Same. At the same time we are awnre thai Mr Shepherd is not a man to put him self forward in the attitude to seek office of trust or profit; if therefore, he fills them they must seek lii in His course lias been marked by a modesty reflects a bright example to all young politi- ciaus and would put to blush some older heads in the political world. We think with -'M that the Central portion of the State shoul 1 considered ill the Charlotte Convention, and Cumberland county is in a central position. Hut like "M"' although we show a pref erence for Mr Shepherd, we feel an abiding confi dence' in the wisdom of the Convention that what ever choice shall there be made we will gi o it a cordial and hearty support, and we believe the democracy of this region will go hand in hand with us for the good cause.

Within the last eight years the East and the West have been favored by the party in the selection of the candidate, and now we submit; it is nothing but fair that the claims of the central portion of the State should be regarded. We know of no man who would command more influence throughout the State than the Hon. J . G.

In to-days paper we lay before our readers the profound and patriotic Message of the President respecting Kansas, As we expected he reccommends the speedy admission of that Territory into the Union. No President since the days of Jackson, has had so much to con tend with as him who is now at the helm of the Union ; and certainly not one has been more bold and fearless in meeting every difficulty which has presented itself in the Executive path-way. Our belovei Union need never fear so long as it has such a true and disinterested patriot to pilot itj ship of State amid; the -tn muus ana Urrnls of fanaticism whether " tlie-v j south ; f liueh- ! emanate from the North or from the Soutl from the East or from the West. Mr anan's course thus far on this as well as other affairs of the country with which he has to do, shows that he is equal to the trying crisis which is !iv,w before that couutrv; and we ,ti t ! uouoi not . - i that he will conduct her safe to the haveu ofl peace and quietness. We also feel assured that he will continue to win the love of his countrymen, and the admiration and applause of the civilized world. Owing to the great length of tht Message we are compelled to omit other interesting mat ter -'TIzc Admission cf Kansas Duty cf the Democracy' The Washington Union, in an article under the above caption thus truthfully lnys down the posi tion of the democracy of the Southern States in regard thereto: " Whatever may be the case at the North, there is at the South, and among Southern men, but one opinion and one party on this subject. Firm, united and determined, they will sustain the ltolicv of the T resident, and demand - a laithlul adherence to the principles of the .Nebraska act by the prompt and uncon ditional mlm'ssiou of Kansas into the Union under the Leeompton constitution. The black republican leaders and journals of the country, discovering that this is so. have, with their characteristic readiness !or doih li piSt !(' to all who disagree with them in opinion, already let on foot tlie charge that such wouM no! have been tlie position of t he Son! h had l:n'-n asked for admission into the Uu.on as a Irvc instead of a tdave State. The charge is as un true as it is unjust ami iiiheral. 7'he South i- governed by no such narrow and selfish mo tives. Her people ure emphatically a law abiding, fair-dealing people. They demand nothing but what is rigid; they want nothing that is wrong. Animated by an honest desire to do justice to others while demanding it for ! themselves, they have only to be convinced i that a measure is right to accord to it their warm and earnest support; and knowing that jit is right, they stop not to inquire whether its successful establishment will redound most to 1 their own or to the interest of their northern brethren. In this spirit they advocated, ac- ccpt.ed. and endorsed the Nabrasiia act They regarded and still regard it as the best, safest, laud only constitutional mode of settling the ! vexed question of slavery in the Territories; and ! it is because of this conviction, and because they believe the Lecoinptoii constitution to I have been framed in entire accordance there with, that they will insist upon tne admission of Kansas in the Union under that constitution. That the srreat body of them would prefer to see that Territory come into the Union as a j Maeoiaiciaii.ii.LoiiiLtiii mui-i , , . ,- i r i " cj. . i had it applied for admission as a lice State, we i have no hesitation in believing (and in this be lief we arc fully sustained by the declarations of the southern press, and southern men before the character of its constitution, had been de termined) that they would have advocated its admission with the same earnestness and unani mity that they now do It is not to establish slavery in Kansas that they are contending; but it is that a groat principle may be enforced and permanently fixed as the future policy of the country. " We know that this is the exact position of North Carolina. The democratic party of our State most heartily endorse the views of President Buchanan, touching this subject. They advocate the admis sion of Kansas into the Union under the Lecoinp toii Constitution, because they believe there is a principle of "States' rights" involved in the tri umph of w hich will be felt a beneficial Influence not only -is regards the States individually, but also collectively. The doctrine that each Territory t-hall frame its own constitution by a tribunal of its own selection, and after which application shall be made to Congress for its admission, if based upon the sam- principle as that of the right of any of the States now in existence, to regulate its own domestic institutions. This, every fair minded man must see is not only liberal but just. We know this is the grand reason why tho democracy ! of North Carolina, in fact, of all the Southern , . ,, . , c i . States are so strong in their advocacy of the im ! mediate admission of Kansas: The South believes that the people of that Territory were serious and in good faith when diey made preparatory steps to form a State Government, and become one of the Union. She did not stop to enquire whether or not the Kansas Constitution had a slavery clause as one of its features, but the question with her as well as with the President is, has that Territory formed her Constitution by the sanction of its own , i . i i i i i. .. ..I. .-v,- lerral 11 lounai, ci eaieo. o ine ooei ui nawm -- ereifru peoiue. jeiiewig uie i.iie"ujiuii v.oo- ... . ... .i .i...

MoRae, Esq., at Wilmington, We learn by the Wilmington journal, that Mr McTiae addressed the citizens of that place on the 28th ult. The pith of the address was the defence of himself from the attacks of-certain of the demo cratic Press in the State respecting his departure from the faith of the party in one important article of its creed, viz; '-that the General Government does not possess the Constitutional right to dis tribute among the States separately the property or land which these States have ceded to it in trust for the benefit of ull the States in their federal car nacitv." It appears that Mr Mcllae occupies the 1 verv po-ition on tbjs question which tlie vmg Know Nothing and overy other party has, which iir Jifwt;i- lotlie Democratic nnrtv, Tins of itself ought to be a sufficient reason fur him to weigh wJji tliat position; to tn down and eomit the coit to himsflf, and that partv of which he still maiuf talus he is a member.

The Journa I with its usual skill and ability," brings forward a body of conclusive testimony to show that the position of the democratic party rela tive to distribution is the correct one. It quotes from such democratic authority us Calhoun, Jack son, Buchanan, and Wm. 11. King, and it also produces the admissions (from the other side) of Webster and Clay. These authorities are too high for us to disregard, and they but .strengthen us in the conviction that we are right and our oppo. ncats are wrong. The testimony of these great Statesmen will crush all the flimsy arguments . of our modern distributicnMs ai:d must scatter them and its advocates to the winds. We would like to copy the quotations which the Journal has brought to bear with so much force on the subject, but we deem it prudent to defer this to another time when it will be found equally as ne cessary and appropriate as the present, and be sides Mr. McRao will probably bo in this place on Tuesday next, and address our citizens on the same subject, when we will have an opportunity of hearing what he has to say for himself and we then can make our own deductions accordingly. For our own irt we c innothope to handle this matter with any thing like the ability which the Journal has, but our ardor to uphold side by side with it the same good oil democratic faith 'shall burn with equal intensity, The Goldsborough Tribune informs us that Mr. MeKae addressed the cit zens of that place on the 3rd inst. That paper states, it was pretty much a repetition of the one delivered by Mr. M at Wilmin "ton. Lieutenant John N. Maffitt. The Charleston (S. C.) Mercury of the 27th ult. thus alludes to this scientific officer of the U- S. Navy. "We are pleased to see that one whose early associations are identified with old Fayette ville should be held in such high estimation fit Lit M. is in other quarters of the country. Coming as the remarks do from so respectable a source as the Mercury they may well be considered a compli ment: "Lieut.

M AFFiT has been detached from tlie Coast Survey at his own rccpiest, and has appli ed to the Secretary of the Navy for orders in the service to which he has recently been so honorably restored. In severing a connection which for several years, has brought him into intimate association with our citizens, it gives us pleasure to speak of the high character which he has established in our community, personally and. professionally. His frank and manly bearing, and his uniform courtesy and kindness of tone and sentiment, have secured the respect and esteem of many attached friends, His services, whose general efficiency has been again and again recognized in the most flatter ing manner by th.fdistinguished head of tl: Coast Survey, have linked his name inseparably with the commerce of our city, by the discovery of the channel which bears his name and which if not already will soon be the best channel of our harbor. While his many friends regret the separation Lieu.

Howard called attention to the fact that the bill providing for the deficiency in tlie ap propriation for printing, now before the Cotu nwttec of the Whole on the State of the Union, had not yet been discussed, bat the debate de voted to general subjects. That bil! has growu out of abuses which, if suffered to eoutinue, wdl bankrupt the Treasury. Vet not a siu-le member of the Committee on Vavs and Means, or of the Printing Committee, has been able to get the Qoor to discuss the provisions ot ibe bill, i order to bri lig out what has lectio a 9ja uy m nouses.,- oiKriit to unite, in order Jt give the ipatbr a tulIliiTestlgatipn.'

Air John Cochrane objected, for the simple reason that it was now too late to insist on suHi a course, the Committee on the Whole on the State of the Union having yesterday distinctly Refused to enforce the rule. j g Further proceedings on this subject were terminated by the House going into Committee Of the Whole on the Printing Deficiency bill. r.B;Sft Burnett was proceeding to discuss the Printing question, when Mr r recti wood sport ively raised the point as to whether Mr Iurnett was in order, as he was confining himself to the subject under consideration. The Chair decided that Air Burnett was in order. Mr Burnett said that the public Printing had been charged as a source of corruption through which the Treasury is robbed. Also, that gentleman who hold the office of Puplic Printer realize princely fortunes, and that extensive combination are formed through which the printing is controlled. lie did not make these charges, nor did he know how far they were true. They are made through the press of the country, and hence should be fully investigated by a special com mittee having charge of the subject. It was to him a matter of mystery how a public printer could be guilty of corruption, the law regula ting his compensation, but it was nevertheless true that the printing of both Houses enables contractors to realize large fortunes. It had been advanced in favor of their election, that they had given thousands of dollars, and Ireely opened their purses during the Presidential election. T.ie printing had grown enormously for a few years past. For the Thirty-second Congress it was nine hundred and fifty thou sand, and for the Thirty-third it was nearly a million and seven hundred thousand dollars, and for the Thirty-fourth, two millions and a third dollars. Among other citations of ex travagance he said that 45,440 were spent for pictures of wood-cocks, squirrels, mice, and other animals, to be worthlessly put into the Patent office depot. He was for stopping this extravagant drain on the Treasury by paying for all work completed,' and dispensing with that not j-et performed. lie moved to amend the bill bv reducing the proposed ipropriation of $790,000 to $420,000. Mr Letcher showed that the amount in the bill was to pay for liabilities incurred by the last two Congresses. He alluded to the fact hatthe publication of the report of GHlis' as tronomical expedition cost $1 15.000, and that of the Pacific survey nearly $833,000, and Em ory's report $341,000. He hoped that in some way a stop would soon be put to this extrava gant system of printing. The publication of these and other reports amounted to nothing more than that the Government was to be the publisher of those books which would not tempt private publishers. Some of these books were utterly worthless. He appealed to the Committee to take some means to put an end to such shameful extravagance in the future. Their constituents should not be taxed for such unjust and wasteful purposes. Mr Phelps explained that the act is to pro vide for the payment of the amount due under contracts raade by the House. These con tracts should be met, and Congress could net undertake to repudiate them. The whole at tention of the country is attracted to the ex travagance of tho last two Congresses, and the present Congress should beheld responsible for its expenditures for printing, and it should gov ern its future course by the experience of the past Mr Crawford was willing to pay for only work already done, to the extent of $310,000 and no mo-e. Mr Nichols thought it was proper that the House should .manifest its sense as to what should be done relative to printing, but he was opposed to the suggestion of the gentlemen from Georgia. After further debate the Committee rose without coming to a conclusion upon the sub ject, and hJLIousc then adjourned till Monday. V i Monday, Feb. 1. In the Senate, Mr. Doblittle presented a pe tition of citizens of Wisconsin, asking the con questor purchase of Cuba, for the purpose of annexation. The bill to increase the army came up. Gen. Kllouston advocated the substitution of Border Hangers for regularly enlisted troops; also the promotion trom the ranks of the army instead o? men in civil walks of life. A long discussion ensued as to whether the AZinnesota State, or Pacific Railroad bill, should be next considered. Mr. Mason said there might be circumstances making it ne cessary for Southern .States, in order to de termine where they stand in the Union, to take up the .Minnesota and Kansas bills together. Mri, Wiqsou said such conjunction would Vie nnnjee5Mryi ?and gave notice that he and his frisMjld avail themselves of all legitimate tne'ims to resist the admission of Kansas under the frecomptou Constitution. Mr., Hale said there never had been a pro position before that body that so seriously threatened a disruption of the Uuion, as that of Mr.-Mason's. Mr. Crittenden opposed the connection of the two subjects, and made an eloquent union speech, which elicited much applause from the i ganeries In the House a resolution was adonted nro- viding for the appointmtnt of a committee of seven to consider the expediency of a reduc tion of the expenditures of government; the navigation laws; the abolition of import duties and a resort to internal taxation A resolution was adopted directing the Speaker to issue his warrant for the arrest of J. B. Williamson, of New York, who refuses to appear before the Corruption Committee, in the case of the Lawrence, Stone & Co., expen diture. A bill appropriating $300,000, for the sup port of national armories, was passed. This item was omitted by accident in last year's ap propriation. Mr. Parrott, of Kansas, presented the re monstrance of the Legislative Assembly of that territory, ngair.t the admission of Kansas uodcT the Lecoinptoii Constitution. Mr Lane asked for the admission of Oregon into the Uuion. Tuesday, Feb. 2. The Semite pnssed the House bill making appropiatious for the National Armories, er roneously omitted in thj enrolment of tha last Congress The discussion- of the Army Increase bill was then resumed, ' A message from President Buchanan con cerning IvansaS was receivetl ana read. It makes four columns of small type. It com- mences by saying that some delusion prevails in regard to the condition of parties m Kansas, liecaptitiilates the history of past affairs. Says the:. Topeka Government, is a usurpation, and that ie i5 impossible any people could hate pro eyedfd with more regularity in the formation of the Leeompton Constitution, than the people of Kansas have done. The Convention in June last was a propitious moment to have settled all difficulties, but the Topekaitcs suffered the election to go by default hence they have no right to complain. i The Leeompton Convention was legally cons- ! titntod, and invested with power to frame a cons titution, which it did, and submitted the ques tion to the people whether Kansas should be a free or slave State The President believes that under the or ganic act, the Convention was bound to submit this all important question to the people. It did so, and again the Topekaites defaulted. At., the election of. officers on the 4th of January, a wiser spirit prevailed, and the vote was larger. The people of Kansas, have, there fore, in strict cjnfjrmity with the organic act, framed a Constitution for tho Stare Go vernment, and submitted the slavery question lo the people, they have elected officers, and now ask admission into tho Union uuder this Constitution. The President is decidedly in favor of the admission, and thus terminating the Kansas question, by localizing the distracting influ ences. As a question of cxpedie icy even, the mes sage argues, Kansas should be admitted, inas much as it would restore quiet to the Union, and prosperity to the territory. With the people of Kansas; the only practi cal difference between admission and rejection is, whether they can more speedily change their present constitution,' or frame a second to be submitted to Congress. It should never be forgotten, that in proportion to the insignifi cance of the slave question as affecing the few thousand inhabitants of Kansas, the fourteen olavc States will feel the rejection of the Cons titution the more keenly. Kansasor.ee admit ted, the excitement becomes localized, and cools, and the troops will be withdrawn. The President concludes with the conscien tious belief that the dark clouds over the Union may be dispelled by the admission of Kansas, or darkened by its rejection. Mr. liigler moved that the Message he prin ted, and referred to the Committee on Terri tories. Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, opposed the refe rence, lie assailed the Message as a perverted and incorrect history of affairs in Kansas, from beginning to end, and inconsistent with itself, lie was followed by Mr. Toombs, in an elo quent and ardent speech, favoring the ground assumed by the President. Mr. T. argued that the people of Kansas clearly desired to be ad mitted into the Union having three years ago formed the Topeka Constitution without law, snd we recently the Leeompton Constitution in pursuance ot the forms of law. The Senate adjourned pending the motion to refer. In the House several hours were occupied in debating the printing deficiency appropriation, which was ultimately defeated by a large ma jority. The President's Kansas Message was receiv ed and read. Mr. Hughes offered a proposition to refer the Message to a Select Committee, lie made a speech against the Republican party, and in favor of the Leeompton Convention and Cons titution. Mr. Harris, of Illinois, moved that the Mes sage be referred to a Select Committee, to in quire if the constitution embodied the will of the legal voters of the Territory. A warm de bate ensued, and much excitement prevailed. The House adjourned without referring to a Committee. WkuneSday, Feb. 3. In the Secate several unimportant bills Were passed or referred. The debate on the message was '.hen resumed. Air. Wilson, of Massachusetts, moved to amend the motion for reference, by authoriz ing the committee to send fhr persons and papers. He characterized the message as a stupendous misrepresentation. The President was absent from the country, when many of the events he had alluded to, occurred, and was only elected because absent, and thus able to prove his ability Mr. W. denounced tlie Leeompton Constitution. He would m tch rather have proposed th-3 Constitution with slavery than without, because tne tormer can be changed, but the latter recognizes as un alterable property, the slaves already in Kansas Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, followed, con troverting the position taken by Mr iison. In the IIocse no action was taken on the message. Tiie Sergeant-at-arms reportod that he had in his custody, Mr. J. D, Williamson, who had refused to answer the summons to appear be fore the Investigating Committee. Mv Bocock, from the Committee on Naval affairs, reported resolutions disapproving the conduct of Commodore Paulding, bat at the same time not imputing to him any improper motives in arresting Gen. Walker, Mr. Slier? man, from the same Committee, made a mi nority report, to the effect that Commodore Paulding deserves tlie thanks of the country for the arrest of Walker and his men. No other business of importance was transacted. Sadden Daath. Yesterday afternoon or evening, a gentlsman who registered his name as " II. L. Handy, Florida, " died at the Carolina Hotel, in this place. He hud arrived here on Friday, and talked of starting off this morning. He was a stout, hearty looking man, apparently about fiftv years of age had very large beard and mustaches, and stated in conversation that he, was engaged iu stock raising not far from Tampa Bay. u Sometime iu the course of the a.ternoon, he retired to his room, we think complaining of feelin t dull. At supper time some onepet' haps some of the servants went op to arouse him and found him dead. Coroner Hartsfield impanuelled d jury of inquest, who came to the conclusion that he came to his death from con gestion of the heart and lungs. An examina tion of his clothes and baggage revealed no pa pers, letters or memoranda, giving information in relation to him, beyond the registry on the hotel book. He had only three dollars in money. A hankerchief was found marked with a different name, but that may. have been uccidciiial. Wil. Journal, A CoMPLtnENT ;to Ttic Do ctokr.
