The Democratic convention on Tuesday, we are pleased to say, was well attended, and a more har monious, and united assembly we have not seen in some time. With such unity and harmony we look rw.ird to the next campaign in this county, with pleasure.- If the democracy of the State stand as uni ted as that of Cumberland the star of Democracy will shine brighter and brighter, and the prospects of State prosperity and advancement will be cheering , indeed. We must not here forget to mention the able and eloquent addresses made by the gentlemen present. ' The chairman addressed the meeting in a powerful appeal for a union of the who1- Sputh. Bar. Fuller, V KEEP THE BALL IN MOTION, j We will keep our readers posted upon the senti ment so fast gaining ground in the South, of non intercourse with the North. We are not aware that any serious objection can be raised by any man to to this policy. Should we be steadfast, and act of tener than we speak, or nevSJUspeak without we act, there would be a very different state of feeling ex isting in the North. We have the power to create an insurrection in North. Should we do it ? Ours would not be a criminal proceeding, and we have a right to do any thing that is not unlawfuL Let but the South cease-to send cottow to the North, ship it to England and France, and one hundred thousand souls in abohtioiNew England would be forced to beg of us. to-supply them with the necessaries of life.

But we give below the opinions of our cotempora ries upon this subject : Suookstive. A wholesale merchant of our city, the other day, suggested a remedy for northern sec tional atrirression, which we should like, to see tried. He proposes that not another bale of cotton bo ship ped to northern ports until the rights and feelings of the South are treated with respect. We would also include sugar and rice.

On motion, Win McL. McKay: Esq.," was called to the chair, . and J. H. Cook, ancfc P. J.

He spoke of the necessity of a union without respect of party, seeing the great danger in which the Union is involved. i ? On motion, the Chair appointed the following gentlemen a committee to prepare Resolutions for the action cf the meeting, viz : P. J. SinclaS Dun Shaw, W J Kelly. C Gr Wright, andJGenl. Wfcslow. Whilst the Committee were absent, Mr 4MdL Ful ler being called upon entertained the "meeting with a speech replete with information, urgingftfae de mocracy and the people of the South to vigilanc iu guarding the rights of the Union. .The Committee, through their Chairman, P.

On yesterday morning, very early, a number o boys went out to shoot birds. They met with quite a number a short distance from town and began to kill them pretty fast. A son of Mr Wm.

Young Mitchell blew his breath through the barrel of his piece, and tlie smoke seemed momentarily to cease.

Nothing of importance took place on yesterday the most of the time occupied in motions. In the afternoon the whole Court was taken by surprise at the entrance of our venerable friend Jas. Banks, who announced that that was his last ap pearance in our courts that lie would leave on the morrow for the Ever-glades, the orange groves of Florida. He stated that he hud practiced among us fir some thirteen years, and though it was natural for our passions to overcome us sometimes, in heated de bates, yet he left with the kindest feelings towards the court, the members of the bar, the oliiceis gen erally of the court, and all with whom he had pre viously associated.

TOO LATE OR PREMATURE. . .. Wc notice by the Daily Globe, of Washington, P. C-, that Mr. Gilmer, of our State, brought in a proposition reiterating the declaration heretofore made by the whig and democratic parties that they would frown down all attempts to agitate the sub , jeet of slavery in or out of Congress. We have nothing to say against Mr Gilmer in this connection, but this : It seems strange that whilst the resolutions were up for discussion in the House condemning the Helper pamphlet, th t he should make, such a proposition. Frown down all. at tempts to agitate the slavery question'' forsooth THE MESSAGE OF GOV. WISE. We lay before our readers to-day extracts from the Message of the Gov. of Va. It is a document worthy of the man its author, and commands the attention and respect, not only of Virginians, but of the whole South. tThe total debt of Virginia is $31,452,759 03. Of there has been redeemed $ 2,345,500 20. He recom mends the repeal of ail State and corporation taxes on State bonds, as he says these alone cost the State more than ths treasury gains. The total liabilities of the State amount to 20,- j 571,072 78. The public works have paid an increase ed revenue this year over last of $ "2,500.000.

The reader will find it in the extract published below, and we beg him to notice particu larly how Mr Greeley says you can tell a Northern democrat "in a moment !" "The infamous use made of Old Brown and his raid by the Pro-slavery politicians and Press ought to bring whatever of intelligent honest' and feiiruess remains in the Democratic ranks over to our side, Thousands of voters have hitherto been repelled from our cause by the cry "O, ;neither party is really Anti-Slavery, and each is as bad as the other'' It needs only at this crisis that we should open his eyes and he must realize that this is an error. You can tell a man's politics in a moment by simply say ing to him "Old Brown." A Democrat in the party sense, is one who regards Human Slavery as right, wise and beneficient, and strives to strengthen and extend its power. Whoever regards it in a differ ent, an opposite light, is substantially a Republican. We are tariff and anti-Tariff, Pacific Railroud and anti-Railroad; but Slavery is the Aaron's rod that swallowcs up every other public question.'' Jialeigh Standard. and w hy ?

Wie for executing the law in tlie case of John Brown, and after all the bulls which have gone out eaunoiuzing tue latter as a saint and a martyr strange to say, we do not hear one word of sympa- thy by these fanatics, for the negroes which have been condemed. Brown, was a saint and a martyr for them to make olitical capital, the poor negroes will not serve their purpose in this way, consequently, theyare lit tle bettor tnan dogs. Let them die unlamented and unhonored. There is more sympathy in the South this day for the poor, senseless, deluded negroes that were made the tools of the abolitionists than there is in the north. This is a proof that their attempts are for other purposes than the welfare of the negro. The Present Congress. There are nine members f the present Congress, whose seats are contested.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. - Mrs Haselwood of Franklin County was iastantly killed on Friday morning last, by- the accidental dis charge of a shot gun in the hands of her husband. He rose from bed about 5 e' clock in the morning for the purpose of going turkey hunting, and after dress ing himself, on attempting to take his gun fron be hind a Bureau, which stood neae the bed, it was dis charged, the whole load entering his wife's head near the crown, causing instant death. Mr II. is al most insane from menial distress. He is one of the best citizens of the county, and much sympathy is felt for him, Raleigh Register. The Lnnasion- of Mexico. Parson Brownlow, of the Knoxville Whig, writesrom N. Y'ork as follows, concerning the comtemplated invasion of Mexico by the K. G. C.'s : " Gen. Bickly, of Baltimore, spent some time in my room last evening. Ilis expedition to Mexico now num iters nmeteun thousand men, and he is provided with ample means. One thousand men are in Tennesse, and these will move first and move without delay. I predict that the General will cap ture all Mexico before Spring, and that he will have control of Vera Cruz in ninety days." PENNSYLVANIA AND VIRGINIA. Why should Virginia complain of the conduct of Pennsylvania towards her, in the hour of her pres ent terror t Has it not been the boast of Gov Wise that Virginia was amply able to defend her honor, and has he not rather scornfu ly declined all oilers of sympathy or assistance from adjoining States ? Has Pensylvania in any way promoted the criminal operations at Harper's Ferry, whose lead ing men are so soon to expiate their crimes on the gallows? Has she not, on the contrary-, assisted in the capture of some of these, and promptly surren dered them to the hands of irginia justice? If there were any failure on the part of Pennsylvania to comply with the Federal laws and the comity of States, there might be some reason lor the complaint uttered by Gov. Wise's official organ in regard to the conduct of this State. But Pennsylvania's po sition in the whole business has been one of dignity and propriety. Willi the conspiracy of John Brown ancl his as sociates, Pennsylvania had nothing to do. Taking Cook's confession of the affair, the general correct ness of which is not to be disputed, we find that none of the conspintors were Pennsylvanians. They are all people of other States or counties. But the conspirators chose Pennsylvania as the scene of their preliminary arrangements, and this was done so quietly thit discovery was impossible. Cham bers burg was, for a brief time, a place of rendervous, where arms and other materials were collected. But there were soon transferred to Virginia, and from 1 1 1 at moment Virginia &1 c much laa-v-iwr re sponsibility iu the busiuess than Pennslyvania ever had or ever could have. Wc ready believe that a large force of volunteers could be speedily raised in this State to assist Vir-o-inta in case of a real rising of the negroes. But, in circumstances like these that have lately occurred, where there was no rising of theblacks, but only a mad and fruitless attempt to excite them, it would have been slightly impertinent in Pennsylvania to have offered assistance to a neighboring and power ful State, which had already forty times as many men under arms as were ever engaged in the Har per ,s Ferry business, As to the subsequent alarms about burned grain stacks and rebellious cows, they did not extend to Pennslyvania, and there was no idea that aid from us would be expected from such dangers. Tn the nresent extraordinary emergency, more de pends upon the conduct of Virginia than on that of r . . i i nnM..I.;r. ,.f Otner Citates, anu we navo more rigui i" '.""'p""1' Virginia than she has of us. If she had stood firm, self-possessed, calm, proud and confident of her strength and ability to suppress insurrection, there would not have been half the trouble, excitement and uneasiness that now exist. But her people were terrified at the outset, and the terror has become chronic. Fanatics, mischief-makers and practical iokers have observed this, and they are profiting by ths knowledge to play upon the sensitive nerves of the Virginians. All the letters to trov,. wise aoout plots to rescue John Brown are hoaxes. If there are any such plots, their contrivers are going to keep their S'-trets. But we don't believe there are any such and if there are, we are perfectly sure that hey are too insignificant to be worthy of notice. At rill events, Pennsylvania has nothing to do with them, and any plan concerned in this State to interfere with the cause of Virginia justice will, we are con fident be frustrated, and its contrivers will be pun isbL " Philadelphia JJuTletin. - A Parlor Ornament. A lady of New Y'ork city writes thus : " ; -"-I not only send you a dollar for our friend's photograph (Old Brown's) but shall make every ef fort in my power to induce all mv friends and ac- -quointnnccs to join inc. jfl hope all the mothers of our citj' will each consider it a privilege to have one of these photographs as a parlor adornment. .

It is vastly more significant of his purpose and quite as elegant as ' a parlor adorn ment" as Old Brown's face, and then she is only to fancy a baby squirming on its point o have'the " modem Moses imprinted on her very soul" if, indeed, such a woman has a soul.

Republican gives the par ticulars of a visit to Dr. Sutherland, of Do Kalb, and the performances he there witnessed of the Doctor's well trained horse. He sa3-s. The doctor calls him the 'White Pilgrim.' His color is light nankeen, white mane and tail, and white eyes. He is a splendid little horse. The doctor tills me that he has owned him only six months rode or drove hiui almost every day (as his riding is considerable,) but still during that brief time he broke him to the saddle and harness, and taught him the different feats I saw him per form, such as standing upon his hind feet, jumping the whip, kneeling down, lying down, sitting up, and walking on three legs. He will unbuckle a common saddle girth, and take off his own saddle : be will step up to his own master, make a very low how, shake hands, take his coat, cap and mittens off and lay them away, and wheu told, bring them all back to him again. With cards he will tell his age, the days injlhe week, months in the year, fee. With the alphabet he will spell any simple word put to them. Spread out a number of cards and he will fetch the one called for. He will play a good game at old sledge, and beat you as often as you can him, and tell your fortune, if requested. He will waltz around his yard with quite as much ease and grace as some of our country gentlemen, and pass around a hut for a contribution at the close of a performance. He is a rare specimen of horse-flesh, and his equal, I think, for beauty, and intelligence could not be found, considering the labor performed by hhn and the short time he has been under discipline; and the doctor certainly deserves the credit of being a great Horse Man." a !!.

Clergyman on ciatn ffmy This morning an old man named Quinn was brought before the Kecorder on the charge of drunkenness and sentenced to the chain gang for thirteen days. He had been arraigned repeatedly for the same of fence during the past two or three months, and had before managed to pay his fines. We learn that many years ago Quinn was pastor of a church re spected and esteemed by all for his! good qualities. Like too many persons starting out in the world with brilliant prospects, he at length yields to the demon of intoxication and was compelled to resign his position. Seeing that his future hopes were blasted, he no longer endeavored to retain his posi tion among the good and virtuous, but became a wanderer, and for years has lived an abandoned life, having neither home nor friends. Memphis (7'ein.) Argus. 28th ult. As Abolitionist Arrested is Oranoe. We learn from a friend that a man who says his name is John D- Williams, has been arrested and confined in Hills borough jail, on a charge of tampering fwith slavrs. He is about twenty-five years of age, and is t ravel ing as a book agent. He was twice betrayed by slaves, to whom he communicated his abolition sen timents. He was still in jail on the 3rd. We would not be surprised to hear that he was lynched as soon as he is turned out of jaiL dial, Standard.
