If we had fewer who profess to be democratic organs, whoso articles form the strongest arguments for the Opposition, or if these organs would be honest enough, to say that their aim is the desolution of " our party - and the overthrow of "our principles," we would be much more pros perous. By an -extra from the office of iae Salisbury Banner, we lc rn that the democracy of Rowan have held a convention and nominated the following ticket: For. Senator, C. F. Fisher, Esq.; Commons, N. N. Flemmiug, Esq., and Maj. N. F. Hall.

They remembered the story of the bar-room bully who said he knoc ked his antagonist down with such a blow there was nothing left of hiim' Next morning they brought a light and found nothing but a grease spot. The Democratic party had been knocked down and they had brought "a light and found nothing but the Constitutional party.'

If in the apparent discrepancy of number ye have made grave error," it is for hG people to judge.'-" Jn looking over the files of the old Argus printed here,and also the. Obersercer, we find that at various respectable Demo-; cratic meetings they were reported by those papers to be 'composed of boys and negroes, the former having shingles 'beating upon the benches, milking consider able noise." All those tilings have been, borne by democrats, the- saying nothing ; but when it comes to a democratic paper they dare not even write,:" the true state of the case without having a few misera ble partizan ichigs, endeavoring to stop our tongue by threatning to withdraw their patronage! Sickly fellows, your impotency to injure renders your at tempt ridiculous! Thanks be to the Democracy, we are, and will be, we.l sustained.

We are fearful you will loose the aid and influence of 3-our very efficent Demqcratic Cotemporary; the "Union Constitutional Enforcement of the Law Party" are his best and I had like to have said only friends. So, we cannot blame him much to go over to them, they can use him as their "tool" whenever they see fit, It will have about as much effect on the Democratic party or their organ "the Carolinian" as the gnat did that lit on the bulls horn. Go on and give them the benefit of all they can make by their "Helper" like course, the Democracy will unhorse them on the nrst Thursday in August. DEMOCRAT. .... "Democrat" may rest assured that neither Opposition presses professing to be democrats," nor Opposition men, will ever be able to keep us from expressing our mind. The respectable Opposition paper of the town was too respectable to contain such filth. . -. 1 . W We have seen it stated that Mr Olicer Dock ery, Opposition elector for this district, intends to begin the campaign. Mr Allen, the Democratic elector has written to us stating that it will be im possible for him to meet Mr Dockery until the mid dle of June, as he has had to take the place of Solici cv Houston, in that circuit, Mr. Dockery has not notified Mj. Allen of his intention ; be had learned it through newspaper reports. If, however, he speaks in this section of country ic will not lack an opponent. Are have county electors, who will take a great pleasure in attending to his wants in the nicest possible style, if not we have plenty talking Democrats who are able and willing to meet Mr. Dockery. ' ". ' ZW The following is the Opposition State plat form of Georgia ! Look at it, and see how faithfully they, the delegates have acted in Baltimore, when they would hiss any man who would declare these principles as just. AVe have more to fear from. such men than we have from the abolitionists. Read their platform ! "We, the representatives of a portion of the peo ple of Georgia, in convention assembled, declare our unalterable attachment to the Constitution and Un ion, framed by the wisdom and cemented b'' the blood of our fathers ; and ice It-old all questions of governmental policy qs subordinate to the great issue now pressed vpon the consideration of the American people in regard to the question of African slavery j and we hereby pledge ourselves to co-operate cor dially with all men of all parties in this growing Republic, who agree with us in the enforcement of the following card) rial principles in relation thereto. 1st. The right of property in Aafrican, slaves is recognized and- guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. 2d. The Territories of the Government' aye the common property of the citizens of the"Unionr 3d. That neither Congress nof the territorial leg Mat tires have the power to pass any laws prohibiting the -introduction of slavery into any Territory, nor to abolish slavery therein, nor any power to destroy or impair the right of property in slaves by any legis lation ichatever." Now, look at their platform as interpreted by one of their leaders in another article. Mr. Editor : Seeing that you were charged with uttering what was false in regard to Mr. Poisson, in saying that sixpence worth of piny woods land pays as much as $10,000 worth of negroes. I will sim ply say that Mr. Poisson, made the assertion in the following words, if my recollection serves me: "10, 000 acrps of piny woods land, not worth sixpence pays more taxes that $10,000 worth of negroes."

The following is familiar to many of our readers, but it is, so well cal culated to make the rising generation proud of the noble spirits who shed so much lustre on their coun try's name during the ever memorable war of 1812, with the then proud: mistress of the seas, that it will bear a re-publication at least once a year, as long as patriots are able to subdue conspirators. The most brilliant naval action of the last war was undoubtedly that of the old American frtgate Constitution, (44) commanded by Commodore Stew art, when she captured the two British corvettes, Cyane and Levant, of greatly superior force, each of them being equal to the old-fashioned thirty-three gun frigates. The handling of the American frigate was, throughout, scientific and unexceptionable. By no manceuvering could either of the British vessels obtain a position to rake the Constitution. Old Ironsides was between them, blazing away upon both vessels at the same time. During the whole action, Stewart, instead of mounting the horse-block, sat in a more exposed situation astride of the ham mock nettings, the better to observe the manceuver ing of his antagonists. The Cyane was the first to strike to Brother Jonathan not an unusual thing with British vessels during that war. The first lieutenant came in haste to the Commodore to ann ounce the fact. "The starboard ship has struck, sir," said the officer. "I know it, sir," replied the Commodore. "The battle is just halt won." 'Shall I order the band to strike up 'Yankee Doodle,' sir," inquired the lieutenant. Here the Commodore took a huge pinch of sunff, and then answered quickly.- 'Had not we better whip the other first, sir?"' - -Jt'Ayti, !, Kir," replied the lieutenant, taking the hint, and went to his quarters. In a short time afterward the Levant lowered the cross of Old England to the Stars and Stripes, and the battle was ended. The lieutenant being some what rebuked by his premature exultion upon the surrender of the first vessel Was rather shy of ap proaching his commander again; but Stewart, beck oning to him, said with a smile: "Don't you think the band had hotter strike up Yankee Doodle now, sir'" In an instant that spirit stirring strain was float ing in the breeze, played as 116 other than a Yankee band can play it, and the gallant crew shou'ted forth their cheers of victory as no other than a Yapkee crew can shout ' "' MR. POOL AND THE STANDARD. We understand Mr. Pool is hi the habit of reading from an anonymous little pamphlet to show that we, among other Democrats, have approved the principle of ad valorem taxation. Now, tn"i3 little pamphlet was gotten up. iu this city, without name or imprint, in ttie hope, no doubt, that it would be regarded by Soine as a Democratic document, and would, thus, con: taiuiug as it does garbled extracts from the writings of Democrrts, injure Gov. Ellis. We come forward at once to spike this gun The article from the Standard in this little pamphlet' which Mr. Pool is in the habit of reading, was pub" lished in February. IS-H. It endorses the principle of ad valorem taxation as held by Democrats, and as ap plied both in the State and federal governments, and which Mr. Pool and his party have so persistently op posed. It does not endorse Mr. Pool's plan of taxing everything, nor does it call either for a convention or for a change in the constitution of the State. The res olutions offered by ir. Fairbaujt, in relation to which the article copied iuto this little pamplet was written may be found on the 2C3d page of the Commons jourT nal ; the most cursory examination of the resolutions will fully sustain us in what we have here said, No, Mr. Pool, we have our own opinions of ad valo rem, but it is sufficient for you to know that we are not in favoi-4f your plan. When ypu address the peo ple again do us the justice to state that will you? Also, that you have carfully examined the files of the Standard, and have been unable to find an Editorial in that paper calling either for a convention c r for a a change ia the constitution, - , Raleigh Standard, j ejpcmber.that John ff,Ellis is u favor of "raising the poll tax on slaves, when he knows full well that by doing so the tax on white polls wjll be corresponding ly increased. Register . -' Remember that John W. Ellis is ia favor of no such thing. He is opposed to raising the poll tax on slaves and white polls, and in favor of reducing it on land. MrJ Pool is in favor of taxing everything, as his let ter of acceptance shows, and is opposed, as his vote in the last Legislature shows, to reducing the tax on land. These are the facts. Let the people know them. - ' Standard, '. :A large meeting of the friends of General Houston, from many. parts of the Union, was held at the Metro politan hotel in New York, on Friday evening The Baltimore, Charleston, and other national party con ventions, it is stated, were represented and the deter mination expressed that the people shall make their own choice for President.

THE MARTYR " ON EXHIBITION. ; The verjrRev. Daniel Worth "showed up" last (Monday) night, . at the City Assembly Reborns. Nothing w charged for admission, though a col lection w&s taken Up before the meeting concluded, realizing the sum of $154 25. There were not many Eople present, but what themeetingjlacked in num rs was made up in quality," for a more fanatical set scarcely ever gathered together. The RevI Mr. Worth made a long speech, detailing his trials troubles, and tribulations. He claims tq boa na tive of North Carolina, ana gives tnat as an excuse for bis incendiary acts. Helper, also a' North Caro Una renegade, was present and made a speech, which by no means pleased the audience, " He very justly said that speaking was not in his' line, but intimated that in writing he could do wonders. He said he had not promised o speak and that there should be a mutual contract between the parties, which should ' never be violated. Helper forgot the little episode about his employer in North Carolina. " The feature of the meeting, however, ' was the presence of a faithful son of North Carolina, Mr. A. Perry Sperry, who was there to hear what the de serters had to say. He came from the county which had the honor (?) of giving birth to the Rev. Daniel Worth. He asked permission to make a few re marks, and his boldness and evident sincerity se cured him a hearing.' He ascended the platform and spoke as follow : " ' Mr. President, I a.m entirely ' unused to public speaking, and I merely come up here to-night for the privilege "of asking 'Mr. Worth a lew plain ques tions, to be answered as plainly. Mr.' Worth was born and brought up injry county. ' The Rev. DanieJ Worth knew when fie came there to circu late Helpr's book that he was violating a law of the State. Now, gentlemen ; knowing this law, and considering the treatment he received, I want him to give us justice, and say in all fairness if we have not treated him as well as we could.

("That's so," and loud enthusias tic applause.) I also say,' in the presence of Mr. Worth, and before him, that I went myself to Sheriff; Boon. Mr. Worth knows his name, and offered him a dollar to buy Mr. Worth a breakfast one morning. (Great applause. I am a lair man, and nonest in my opinions and views of the southern people; and I think, and Mr Worth will agree with me, that the majority of the better class of the intelligent people of our State only waut to be let alone on this slavery question- We want you to let us alone. (Cries of "we won't let you alone.") We want you to let us alone. ("We won't.") Then it is light to the death. ("Go in !") We must be let alone. ("We won't do it." Great confusion. Cries of hear, hear, hear him.) Not liking the manner in which Mr, Sperry was SDeakinsr. there commenced a scene of intense con fusion. Questions were asked, exclamations made, and a general wrangling ensued. After a while Lewis Tappan, and two Yankee school teachers, who were sent away from Alabama, made speeches. As $153 25 is not money enough to satisfy a man like Mr. AYorih, ne wu no doubt get up a few more meetings of the same sort. A7. 1. Day Book. From the Murfreesboro Citizen. Mr. John Pool and his Pony, Air.XA'SiKBB Doodle. Let all men hearken now to mex And hear this simple ditty. Which tells what wondrous things, took place Up in the Oaky City. ' - 'Twas on the twenty-second day. Of bleak coud February, There met a jolly crew as e'er On whisky-punch got merry. All in the big State-liouse up there, Assembled these and grumblers, And spoke bi words lor stomach 4 weak, Iu the pauses of the tumolers. How they should rig their way-worn feet, To stand another canvass, Sure they must get some project new, And not trust to words to damn us. 'Tis true, if scolding and abuse Could carrj' an election, No new-found nag lacked they to rid i, And heal their a,d defection. liut 'twixt them and the offices There lay a rushing river, T o get Know-Notlnngs o'er its flood, Without the chill aud feve . This was a task that staggered all Those men who viewed tne water, Ere long to crimson o'er w ith blood Of Opposition slaughter. But soon the platform men came in, Leading a half-grown pony, Ad Valorem was his name, And he was gaunt an bony. Stone-blind and turned out to graze,' No man in Wake would claim him, Moses Bledsoe had brought him there, The Legislature lamed hiiUi . So then and there they stole the horse, As soon as they had found him, And General Dockery tliey besought, For love's sake then to mount him. But Dockery's legs are long and large. The poney could not carry Such leugth of leg and breadth of beam. They now became more wary. For many a leg was th erg too long, And all with apprehension, Grew pale with fear lest s6me mishap Should follow this detention At last th ey found a little man. Not much larger than a mpnkey, But even he prefessed to ride . .A veritable donkey. So Mr. Bledsoe's spavined jade, Sure never man was mounted, ' On such a hack as this before, Sore backed, leap and foundered. John Gilpin ne'er rode such a race As Johny Pool Is riding. s All see the pony's weak and blind, In spite of his shrewd hiding. Let other men say what they will? But Oh, now aint it funny. To see these chaps throw up their hats, Round John Pool and his Pony ? 1 The Secret Qi'T. At Villafranoa, it is said that Francis Joseph was much astonished at the knows ledge shown by the Emperor Napoleon, of Verona and Venice. IJe knew their minutest details, and pointed out their weak points to the Emperqr of Austria. lie knew also, and told Francis Joseph, that he had but five days' provisions in Verona. The explantation of this fact now given to the public. A man by the name of Dore, a captain in the Aust rian army, who has just been shot at Venice for high treason, ii furnishing: the above information to the French eat-major, revealed the whole secret, and im plicated eight other persons, all of whom are now under arrest. The Austrian army, it seems, wag not happy in the fidelity of its own ranks, since new facts are every day coming to light which show that corruption pervaded every department of its organ ization. ; A country person was addicated to using the phrase, "I flatter myself," instead of "I believe." Having occasion to exhort his congregation during a revival, "he flattered himself that more than one half of them would be damned ! The prettiest trimm-ng for a woman's bonnet, is a good-humored face. - Two French ladies who were in San Francisco when the Japaneses arrived there were.anxionus to go on board the vessel where the foreigners were. But ladies could not be received. Neveithless, they nut on nortions of their husband's wardrobe and made the visit. They escaped detection while, they only talked, for neither party could understand the other; When, however, they shook hands with the Admiral, a pefculair smile passed over his features, and he immeditaley caused an attendant to dive into his cabin and bring out a variety of .hairpins, brace lets, furs, and other things pertaining to the female toilet. He said, with an Oriental wink at his inter- 1 preter, that he could not be mistaken in the pres- sure of a lady's hand. .- Tub PapaiBitt.i. . - . : ""tti;ATioN.

' . What Makes a Good Editor. A good editor a competent newspaper conductor, is liko a general or a poet born, not made. Exercise and experi ence give facility, but the qualification is innate, or it is never manifested. On the London daily papers all the ereat historians, novelists, poets. es.sav-ist and writers, have been tried, and nearly all.failed. We might say all ; for alter a display "of brilliancy brief and grand, they died out, literally. Their re sources were exhausted.' "i. can," auid the late edirojf.of the TJjns, to 6ore, ."find any number men of CQmrnopse." Nearly all sucessful edi tors have beeirmen of this description. Campbell, Carlyie, Bulwawer and D israeli tailed ; Barnes Sterling and Phillips succeeded, and DeLane and Lowe succeeded. J A good editor seldom writes for his paper he reads, judgos, selects, dictates, alters, and combines ; and to do this well, he has but little tune lor composition. To write for a paper is one thing to edit a p.. per another. London Da il a Post, ' . ' " y A New Route fok the Retukn of the Japanese, A writer in the Intelligencer, of this moriiin says : " ' The Niagara, it is saul, ' is to be sent round to Panama, to receive these national visitors aud to conduct them home the way tWey cume. 1 1 is a long and a boisterous way to Panama around Cape Horn. It would be bad if some accident should befall the Niagara by the way, so that she could not reach Panma in time to meet our reUuniu" friends there. Having to wait there, they might be attacked by the Isthmus fever. It might be altogether more desirable to our visi ters, if the subject were presented to them, to re: urn by the way of the Cape of Good Hopa. A voyage qf circumnavigation, and the first ever ncsomplish ed by Japanese subjects, would give great eel at to the embassy at home. It is only about 4,0oo miles longer, but it may be made by'sborter stages that the Pacific rout. First, from here to Madeira, then to Rio, thence 'to the Cape of Good Hope, thence to Mauritius, and so on, via India or Batat h, to Japan would make pleasant stopping places, form an agre eable voyrge, and afford one of such e is v stages that our friends need not bo longer at sea tlvui three weeks at any one time. A remarkable suit was lately decided in the (Vxut pf Sessions, at Edinburg, Scotland. Mrs. Catharine Leslie entered a suit to have it declared that she was the wife of the, Rev, Catheart Leslie. It was proved they became engaged in 1822, and in ls-27 they formally accepted of each o-tlxr as man and wife, without any other rt'i-iMmuw or iriii,, agreeing to keep it secret until he was rich enou-h to i. 1. ri 1 1 1 . ... a-uopoit ner.

Leslie, in accordance with the law of Scotland w-.;,-h order to make a marriage legul, requires no form or ceremony, civu or religious ; no notice, no witnesses, but merely the consent of the parties ; and if this! latter can be proved at any subsequent wriod. even me lapse 01 years, i,y subsequent written ac knowledgment or oath of reference, the parties will be held to have been legally married, whether liv ing together or not. Qceen Victoria's Ixteukicv towahos iu:a Fat her's Creoitoks.- The scrupulousness wirn which Victoria paid the debts of her father (who was at one time so poor as to be unable to afford to trans port his family from Germany to England), is not so well known as it deserves to be. The author of the "Women Beauty" thus alludes to this trait in the Queen's character: "One of the first measures of Victoria was to pay from her own privata purse, the remaining debts of her father those which shc and her mother had been, unable by their united economics to liquidate. The people contrasted the Queen's conscientious application of her resources with the conduct of her grandfather, Georse III under similar circumstances. H is father, Frederick,. Prince of Wales, left behind him numerous obliga tions, not one farthing of which did George, on com ing to the throne, think proper to dischurge." Take a Dhixk. The following is one of the many "photographic sketches" reported from ihe Charleston Convention : "Mr. Gittiugs, of Md., renewed the motion to lay on the table, The President was about stating the question, when n voice cried out 'Mr. President, it's a mistake; I didn't second that man's motion down there.' Mr. Gittings rose to demand an ex planation. He would like to know who it was that spoke so disrespectfully of him. He claimed to be a delegate from Maryland. Mr. Hooper arose. Ho did not intend anything disrespectful to the gentle man from Maryland, but my name is Tom Hooper, of Alabama. Mr. Oift.i fed; the gentleman will call at my room and take a drink."

His ideas of the bodily proportion of the fair One sudden ly colapsed. ' ' A sharp gentleman living in Milwaukee manages to get the rent of a fine large store for nothing. The former occupants of the store had taken it under a lease, but the hard times caused them to think that the rent was exorbitant, and they left the store be fore its expiration, and the sharp gentleman popped n, and neither of the contending parties ask him or any rent, fearing that by so doing they would confess bemg holden for tho store.
