We are requested to announce, that in pursuance of the recommendation of thu 1 lemoeratie State Execu tive Committee, a convention of the Democracy of Cumberland will bp held in the town of Fayetteville, the I'.th of December, for the purpose of appointing delegates to a democratic State Convention to be held in Raleigh on Thursday, March ,6th, 18(10 ; and also for the appointment ofDclegates to a Dis trict Convention, to le heldatsuch time and place as may hereafter be designated, to select Delegates to represent this District in the next National Demo cratic Convention. Also to appoint a Democratic Executive Committee for the county of Cumber land. l-if SVe are requested to state that there will be a meeting of the Democracy of Harnett county, at the Court House in Toomer, on Tuesday of Decem ber Court, at 2 o'clock. ATTKNT.'OW Democrats will remember that on next Tuesday the County Convention is to assemble at the Town Hall; when we trust there will be a proper repre sentation from the ounty and full Attendance from 'ion. We would not let tl is opportunity pass without inviting all who are opposed to northern ag gression anil fanaticism to be present with us, al though they have not heretofore identified them selves with our party, tic vert heles we trust they may not put oil tho day 1 -Niger.

AV'e publish to-day, in another column, an oditorir al from the Charlotte Iiulletin, which is well worthy the consideration of our merchants. We need not say that the views of the Bulletin meet with our entire approval. The duty of our merchants is unmistakable; the plea that New York, Boston, or Philadelphia, are cheaper markets will not do. Our merchants have made them what they are the quantity of trade nlwa3s governs the price. This being the case, our duty to build up a market in our own midst if im perative. We can boast of harbors equal if not su perior to the North. We have Charleston, Norfolk, and New Orleans, where any ship may gain an entry, and all that is required to m ike these cities cheap markets, is, let us patronise them letjUskeep our money in the South and the South will keep us. We have been feeding No-iln-ru abolitionists for vears ; they have grown fat ujn-n our means, and they have began to think that we arc dependent upon them for our merchandize. There is n"t the slightest doubt, hut a course like (hat advocated by (he Bulletin, would have a won del ful i ffei i u.icn the No:th; at all events, it is worth a trial.

North" , Supreme Court Judge. We notice that the Newbern Progress, recommentls the appointment of Judge Mauley, to the vacant seat, on the supreme bench. The Judge is a very duo Gentleman, and would do very well, being a thorough .lawyvr. But we do think that Journals ought not to t ike up the question. It is better thai the Governor and his council be altogether releaved of outside sentiments. For our part, we are willing o leave the matter to their judgement, having entire confluence"! n fins wisdom. Orouf we Nor to have on::? It is a r.'marka. ble fact that we have not a law in this State making a crime as that committed by John Brown, treason, Indeed, we Itayti no such State oiVenco as treason known in our code. This matter should be look ed to ta the next legislature. A State is a sovereign ty, and should have a statute punishing any person who would conspire or attempt to overthrow its government. We make tliis timely suggestion and trust it inay-be acted upon, Gone Auain. AVe learn that the Lock and Dam at Red Rock, oh the Cape Fear River, which was about finished, has taken a short voyage to th-e At lantic ocean ria. Wilmington. In all honesty, if this work can be made to stand put it forward ; but if It Is to continue its sudden voyages, as it has heretofore, it ought to be put a .stop to. The people have paid enough money into the .(. in g fund, and they can bear very little move.

II. Hilh "Js JJk a 'Republican ?' So late as a yea go, ! i the 12th of October, UnJS, the New York Tribune said; "Old John Brown, of Oss iwatomie, and ninetcen tei'.ths of his co-defenders of freedom in Kansas, were and are li-publican, and migrated there under the impulse of Jiepubllcan idea and convictions. To da' Old John Brown wiil pay the penalty of his infamous course, upon the scaffold, of course any attempt by the abolitionist to rescue him will be as vain and futile as the deed committed by Urown proved itself. Daily Carolinian, 27 inst, 1 Let us Unite. We hare said it, and ve propose to show that it i.s indispensible for the people of the South, without distinction of party to unite in opposition to North ern fanaticism. There can be no doubt but at this time many Northern "men believe that the South is dmded within herself to such an extent, that any thing pro posed or advocated by them, to one of the parties, would be eagerly accepted. From this they take encouragement, and continue not only to make war upon us and our dearest rights, but they absolutely gain converts to their doctrine in the North, through a false and foolish impression that the South will bear a?J, and suffer oil. The outrageous sentiment uttered by Northern journals, in reference to Brown and his "heroic" deeds, can surely not pass unnoticed by us. We have our families and our fire-sides to protect, and certainly, our individual and social rights transcend all party feeling and outside considerations. The Northern people who imagine that the oppo- sition party of the South will unite with them or have any feeling in common with theirs, will learn that at least, upon our huljviduaj rights, ave are oxf. and l'Xitku. For our own part, although we have opposed and denounced the opposition, in unmeasured terms, we can but express our knowledge of their nationality and their steadfast adkearance to southern and northern rights. And if at any time they may be lead into the support and conntenance of men who aru not eminently sound, we feel confident that it is merely through the excitement of party feeling, and not because of any'error in their minds upon the all- absorbing question, which at present engrosses the serious any prayerful attention of all good men in our country Now, upon one thing we stand equal, viz: upon the fearless and impartial construction of the Con. stitution, ami the security of our lives and property, to the extent guaranteed by that instrument. Where then, in national affairs, is there a necessi ty for a division ? Can we of the South afford to devide our strength, when such a division must un questionably result in the triumph of that sectional party, whose history began in iniquity, and whose end must be attained at the cost of our blood. Is the old question that hackneyed question of "distribution" or specific duties, or interference by Congress In the affairs of a Territory, or the one hundred little minor questions which have been mooted from time to time, by ambitious politicians for the purpose of capital. Are these things to prevent a union of all the South when her highest and most daored rights are violated ? For the sake of the South, nay, for the sake of peace, humanity, and the perpetuity of the Union, we trust not. No one can be so blind as not to see the issue which must and will be placed before the country in the next campaign. The question is a clear one, and we shall all be compelled to take sides, either by action or non-action, for thoso who are not with the South in that campaign will be compelled, from the force of circumstances, to be against her. In that terrible conflict, no neutral forces can pos sibly be recognized, but the steel of every free man from Maine to Texas, must be found battling either for or against the union of the States, We can not for one moment believe that the south will submit to the election of a Black Republican as President We know that there are a few men, with whose weakness we sympathize, and to whose opinion we can but pay due regard, that think it would be time for the South to secede, upon tho commission of some overt act by the Republicans, by which our rights should be infringed. The folly of this must be seen at a glance, for were we to sanction the inauguration of a Black Re publican, our hands in the event of any such act would be coriipletcly secured. The army and Navy would be transferred from the hands of a friend to that of ar. enemy. Their emmesaries would be found all through the south, and we can now form i)o idea of the power they would wield. We can pride in the just reputation which North Carolina has of being a conservative Slate, but we can also pride in the noble, free and independent spirit of her sons, and we are confident should a Black Republican be elected as President, she would j take immediate steps to secure her rights, or abandon the Union. Jy There is no room in Charlotte for ''two women to take hold of one man." A Census was taken on last week, to ascertain, the number of marriageable people in the City, and the result shows the marriageable condition of sixty young ladies, and oh, horrors ! Sixty five young men ; consequently, five young men will have to take hold of oue woman, thus reversing the order of things. The Editors of the Bulletin, (both unmarried men,) notwithstanding the bad plight into which they are placed by a revelation of this unfortunate state of affairs, give Tent to their feelings, by pro posing a compromise in the difficulty into which the five odd follows are placed. "Young ladies encourage these unfortunate fel lows and let them understand that you are kindly tlisposed, and are only waiting to be asked. By the wa-, we would like to know from those who took the census whether they include iu the count Widows and Widowers. As the coun: now stands live men wjll be compelled to look abroad or grieve to death for the want of the mate. We move that the five who shall be ruled out settle the affair by drawing straws. Call a conven tion gentlemen and let the ladies know your deter mination, ami who have been ruled out. NORTHERNERS AT CABIN POINT VA. We learn from the correspondence of the Peters burg Express, that some forty northerners have some there for the purpose of cutting wood, their conduct is such as to create suspicion that they are Brown sympathizers, and are there for no good. TRIUMPH OF CONSERVATISM. We notice a paragraph going the rounds amongst our Opposition exchanges, under the above caption, where the result of the State election of New- York is styled a conservative triumph. Conservative forsooth, there arc but three conservativ e men elect ed in that State, and they were elected by the Dem ocrats, and if the American vote contributed to the election of these men, it unquestionably assisted in the election of those who are the bitterest fanatics in the North. Do our Opposition friends consider the result of the election a conservative triumph ? Then the elec tion of Seward as Senator is a triumph for if they have done anything they have secured Seward's re election. This is what we should call conservatism w ith a vengeuce. Th.e most important election to conservative men was the Legislature, for that election, was to decide the return of the blackest vilian that has ever breathed, to a scat too sacred and honorable for one of his stamp. Yet he is returned, and it is claimed that the Americans hold the balance of power in New York if that be so, they are responsible. Justice Daniel, of the United States Supreme i of Alexander Carpenter. This is the first judicial ex Court, is seriously ill in Washington, ' edition which has ever taken place iji the Territory.

Willoughbv, of the East j iaJLi House. The Uxiveksitv Magazine. This very able pe riodical is upon our table, containing some highly j interesting and instructive matter. We have had but a moment to glance over its pages, and conse quently can form but an imperfect notion of its real merits, but taking it for granted that it is as good as usual, we must state that we think it an honor to the University, and the young gentlemen who con. duct its columns. THE COURSE OF THE SOUTHERN OPPOSI TION. There is not a particle of truth in the statements fabricated here, and circulated elsewhere, that the Southern Opposition propose affiliating with the De mocracy on organizing the House. Letters from Gii.mek, Vance, Etheridge, Harris, Davis, and others, explicitly deny any such purpose. If the Pennsyl vania delegation meditate, as proposed, and invite a free conference of all the elements opposed to the Administration, for the purpose of organization on ly, it is probable that Southern men will unite with out hesitation. Several have expressed their readi ness to do so. The above is a special despatch to the New York Tribune, and we confess that it does surprise us not a little. That John A. Gilmek and Vaxcb of Noiirn Cak- , olina should be found in such a plan i.s enough. We do trust that these men ma- see the wickedness and treason of such conduct, and change their minds. Their friends in the south ought to caution them against such an unwarrantable and unreasona ble course. We did think Gilmer bad enough, bu had no idea that he would pursue such aline of conduct as that alleged in the above paragraph. As for Davis he is nothing more or less than a Black Republican. All Mad. They seem to be very anxious to prove 11 J ohn Brown a lunatic. Iloyte, who was one of his coun- cel. has srone all the wav to Ohio, and hat. foon.l tb-it old Brown's great grand-father and his aunt, also JoWo nmi, aitu two oi hit cuuurcn were lunatics, and that it is a peculiar trait in their character to get crazied. j The object of Iloyte is to gain Brown a repreave i through this plea. The New York Tribune believes ! firmly in his insanity, and religiously docs not be lieve that even this fact will effect anything in h's favor. We think as the Tribune does that it will be of little avail. Wli3r was it, however, that Grcely gave money to an insane man for his " Kansas work ?" and it the Tribune is earnest in the plea of insanity why do we find the following eulogy to Brow n in the same number of that paper : '; Among the manyjarticlcs in connection with flic great eveut of the day that so interests and absorbs the minds of all who love Freedom, "The Harper's ' Ferry Insurrection, I have vainly looked lor a suggestion of a practical plan as a tittiag testimonial to the hero that so nobly fought and bled for the cause of oppressed humanity. liostou, Worcester, and other places, have called meetings publicly to express their sympathies, ami r,,i-.-oIi miMvsis iii niil nt' tlip wifn iiiid t'ainilv c.f'ltu. heoric victim of Slavery, and its inseparable corrup- tion, But how comes it that no public effort has been made here for the same good puruose ? Is our citv incapable of appreciating Freedom's cause, and sym pathizing with its martyrs ? Had John brow n been successful in his sulime effort to free Virginia h oiu the curse of slavery, I have no4 doubt tut this city would have been among the (irst, if not the first, to celebrate the gieat event, aud make the welkin ring with outbursts of joy aud exultation over Freedom's victory, and shouts of glory, and songs of praise in honor to the conquering hero." If John Brown is insane, the Tribune is worse than insane. If there is any insanity'it is found in the latter. N 0N-INTERC0 URSE S US PENSION 0 F TRADE. AYe observe that several of our Southern exchan ges are discussing the propriety, Editorially and through contributions from their Correspondents, of carrying out a non-intercourse policy between the Merchants of the South and Importers and Jobbers at the North, suspending entirely the trade that has been carried on between the Commercial and Mer chantile communities of the two.sections. We believe that there is wisdom in this line of policy and that if the proposition is sustained and strict non-intercourse observed, it will be productive of incalculable good to the South. On Wednesday last one of the most prominent business men of Charlotte, who had been called on by an Agent of a New York House, remarked that, it was his impression he had made out his last bill for Goods in the New York market that it was very probable he would hereafter make his purchas es in Baltimore or further South. In reply to the above expression of an opini m, the Agent remarked that he had discovered that manj Merchants throughout the South had come to a similar determination, and that if that line of poli cy should be adopted generally throughout the Southern and Western States, it would produce a great change in the conduct and sentiment of the people of the North that it would undoubtedly bring about a reaction, and cause a more healtv sen timent than c-onkl be effected by any other line of policy. , We hesitate not to express our opinion that it is, under existing circumstances, absolutely right and indispensably necessary that every community throughout the South should promptly eject these Northern Drummers who are flooding the South, unless they are well known and vouched for by some one or more of our leading Merchants or gentlemen of character and position.

According to the News from JHome, an Irish paper published in Philadelphia, there has long been a tradition ex isting in Ireland, that the green spot would some day be delivered from England's brutal tyranny, by ;m" O'Donnell. The prophecy had it that this O'Donnell was, "a red haired man of small saturc, with a natural sign on his arm. He will start from Spain, and vanquish the English in a ter rible battle South of Ireland." Tiie above likeness is said to correspond with 'that of Marshal O'Donnell, the foremost man in Spain at the present day. It is added that the Irish sa!or, on hoard of the Tirhish fleet at Gibraltar, believe that the Marshal is milking his vast warlike preparation more with a view to Ireland than Morocco. We thought all the time that Marshal JcAahon was to he the libera tor of his ancestors' Countrymen. He must not let the Spanish Irishman get ahead of him. Crime Among FroiTivE Negroes.

It does seem strange to us, tha,t parents, knowing how dangerous it is to handle fluid, will allow their small children to carry tlu lamps from room to room, and run the ri.-k of loosing their lives.
