A STATE CONVENTION. j We are not only sorry but also ashamed to think j that some few pap.-rs n this .State have refused to ! deiine their position in n ference to Breckenridire ! and Dougliis, and are even now speaking of holding ; u Convciui.in to recopsiJer the action of our dele- gates at BaLimore. "e need hardly say that such ', a thing is disgraceful to the Old North State. It is j so in manyjways. First, this proposition, sanction- ' d asfit is by the Standard, apapej that we nave here tofore considered sa staunch State's rights journal, and which we would like still to continue with us as the exponent of Southern rights and supporter of South ern principles. We are indeed sorry to see such the case and trust that the cloud of doubt may soon be relieved from them, and that the- will present a bold face to the enemy, looking only to the interest of the people, the nion and the rights of the South. Suppose a State Convention be held end the action of our Delegates to Baltimore condemnel ! What a pitiabl" and base position must the Old North Slate ocenpy by the side of her Southern sisters! Pledged to their support in demanding the rights of the South; co-operating with them in the selection of a candidate upon a platform where these rights are un cqmvically set foith ! How dare we come out and repudiate our own act, and after having linked our fortunes and our lives to them, abandon them in this struggle ! The runnir g of a Douglas ticket in North Carolina, would under the present circumstance, be disastcrous in the extreme. It is a thing that must not he iK-rmiited. We can not without dishonor, retreat lroui the position assumed by our delegates at Baltimore. If it were only a question of Southern Maty, we should refrain from running any other ticket in the South as Democrats. It is also wrong on our part to abandon our North -rn friends who hold to us in this emergency. It is the iinki'ndest cut of aid to see North Carolina a laeilating and undeciding when the whole North is in a perfect blaze of enthusiasm for BRECKIN RIDGE AND LANE. When such conservative papers as the Journal of j Commerce, comes out bold and tells us that Douglas cannot carry three States north, it is no time to see the leading organ of the Democracy of North Carolina feeling its way along in the dark not knowing what to do. If we abandon the North now, well, may she hereafter abandon tut. Let this doubtful position be at an end. The 3d Congressional District will do her doty for the noui i iees of the party, Breckinridge and Lane. If the qiu.stin of North Carolina being a South ern or Northern State'is to be deciied in the Con vent! 3. i,' then we are prepared for its assembling.

JOHN C BRECKINRIDGE. The Democratic nominee for President, was born near i.exiiigiori, a.rmui;' - ji 1821 and is consequently now in his 40th year, he was educated at Centre College, Kentucky, spent a few months at Princcston. rew .Jersey, studied :aw at the Transylvania University, in his native State, and was admitted to the bar at Lexinton. Soon after his admission to the bar he emigrated I to Burlington, Iowa, but h s.i'enac.itlv returned to Leximito.i. where he has sine. resided, and where ; ic ha-.; attained success and renown ii the practice of his profession. During the war with Mexi -o he served as major of the third regiment of Kentucky YolunLeers, and distiiiguisae i himself, while in the city, as the coun sel of Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, during toe famous Court Martial. Shortly alter Ids return from Mexico he was elect ed to the State Legislature, and was :lected in 1831 a Representative to Congress from the Ashland Dis trict, serving l'r.nii Idol to 13-35. This is Mr. Clay's old Whig District; and Mr. Breckinridge was the first Democrat that ever represented it in Congress, in t'ae first contest beating Gen Leslie Coombs, Mr. Clay's old f. ien 1 and associate, and subsequently Governor Robert Letcher, in both instances over coming tremendous odds. Oiu of Mr. Bi-ccnioridgt-'s first public pcrforman- ! ces was the delivery of eulogy on Henry Clay, soon aftc his decease, although he differed poli.ically from that distinguished .-tatesimn. President Pierce oifered the mission to Spain to .Mr. Breckinridge, previous to the appointment of Mr. Side, but from private reasons it was declined. In 185ti he was nominated for the Yiee Presidency at Cincinnati, on toe ticket with James Buchanan, and was e!ectidthe ticket carrying every Southern State but M.ry land. He is ex-orjicio President of the Senate, and though the vouuirest oilijer who 1 has ever held that position, he has presided over the ! LT. S. Senate with dignity and impartiality, and has 'on the respect and esteem of every member of that body. He will be elected President of the United Stutes in November next. GEN. JOSEPH LANE. The Democratic nominee for Vice President, was born in North Carolina on the 14th of December, 1301, and is no.v in his 5!Jth year.

The Fourth of July, our national day of inde pendeneje. was celebrated in this place on yesterday in an appropriate and becoming way. The military were all out, and together with a number of citizens form the oo-iritrv and town thronged our streets from early morning till night. The address of J. C. Mc Rae, Esq., we learn was equal to the hig'iest expecta tions of his friends. Mr McR. is u rising )-oung m.in, a id promises to be one of the brightest stars of his day. Maj.

French Strange, Esq., responded in behalf of the company, and in a neat and appropriate manner, returned thanks fcr the honor confered. Everything passed off ploasaiitly and agreeably. . WHAT THEY ARE DOING. The 'papers .that stand neutral upon the ques tion of the Presidency, (we refer to the Democratic papers) are doing the cause great injustice and scat tering the party votes and dividing its strength worse than if they were the ardent and zeaious ad vocates of an opposing faction. We do not ocn" sure any of them, they have a right to act or be in active, but in our humble opinion it would be more honorable, more manly, more statesman like to take up the sword and either declare for Rome or for her enemies. To arms gentjemen ! free the enemy and let your bullets ring upon his shield. What shall be done if ojr generals forget their "duty" and cry "peace when there is no peace," or cry halt when we are pursuing the flying foe. Let your voices be heard with us or against us. We must to the conflict MEN OF NOAROLINAATjrENTION ! One of our opposition exchanges, striving to prove thit -should the election go iuto the House, no Dem ocrat can be elected, exhibits the fact that the Opposition party of North Carolina intend to vote for Abe Lincoln, before they will cast their vote for liitECKiXRiDGE of Kentucky aye, gentlemen, will vote for an aboliiionist before they will vote for a Southern man, born and raised in the South. Here are their words : "Should the election be thrown into the House of Representatives, no Dmocrt has any better chance. That party has a majority of the members in only 14 States out of 33, and those 14 arc divided be tween Douglas and anti-Douglas. Where are the other three States to come form even if the 14 could unite ? They cannot be had. There are Republi- -an majorities in the House in 15 States, Democra- tic m 14. Whig in 1, and 3 States r- re equally uivia- e1' as l,,1Iows : , California. Delaware. Florida. Georsria. Illinois Louisiana. Misissinni. Missouri Orerroil.

It is apparent, from this, that if the election should go to the House, r.o Democrat can be elect ed." So it appears that the Constitutional Union Con gressmen of Tennessee will vote for Uucoln rather than Breckinridge. This is John Bell's State. Vo ters of North Carolina, rcinemlter this at the polls. And North Carolina is net doicn as making no choice between Lincoln and Breckinridge! j"Tlie Standard of to-day recommends a State Convention to take action upon the Presidentia nominations. Under circumstances of this nature, we do not know what to recommend. We put no condemnation upon the he ids of Douglas men in this State, we know their democracy too well to doubt it; but it does seem that other action than such trouble as a State Convention, could unite the vote. Let the Electors themselves meet and settle this question, that they will vote for either Breck inridge or Douglas in the College, whichever re seives a majority of the Electoral votes in the Union, shall be voted for by the minority. North Carolina should cast her vote for Brechinridge, and only as a choice, vote fur Douglas. PRETTY STRONG. The following remarks by a New York Delegate in the Donglas Convene tion will spem strange to mosc southern men : David L. Seymour, on the part of the Dickinson men of the New-York delegation, said they stood in a peculiar position. They had used all honorable means to secure the nomination of the great son of Nsw York, Daniel Dickinson. Applause. But he was now ready on their behalf to acknowledge that a great inaiority of the people of the State were in favor of the nomination of Douglas and with one voice the friends of Danniel S. Dickinaon would rally to the support of the nominee. We were not prepared for such an expression from e' York and more espec ally from the friends of D. S. Dickinson. THE COMET. We learn from some of our exchanges that another of those firery messengers that sometii.-es frighten many of our old lady friends, and fill them with fearful apprehensions, has made its appearance. We have not heard any of the icise heads tell the object of its mission ; perhaps some of the projdiets may predict war, famine, or the election of Bell or Lincoln! We, however, have no fear of any such dreadful calamities attending its visit. Prof. Maury, of the National (Washington, D.C.) Observatory, sends the following to the, Intelligen cer : "June 23.

Our noble old sister State, old Pennsylvania, has taken the true and only course to unite the democ racy in the next Presidential campaign. We are now sure of carrying Pennsylvania against the Black Republicans and making J. C. Bkeckinuidge and Jos. Lane, President and Vice-President till 1864 God speed the Democracy of the old Keystone in their noble work. We put Pennsylvania down as good for the democracy. Here is the resolution of the State Executive Committee: "With a view to a perfrct unity against the comm on enemy, we recommend to the Democracy of Pennsylvania to unite their votes for President on the electoral ticket formed at Heading on the 1st day of March, 1800, on the following basis and un derstanding, viz: That if said electoral ticket snould be elected by the people, and it should be appear, i on ascertaining me iraun "- Union, that by casting the entire vote ot Pennsylv ania for Stephen A. Douglas and Herschel V. John son, it would elect them President and ice-President over Messrs. Lincoln and Hamlin, then said electors shall be under obligation so to cast said vote; if on the other hand it should appear that said vote would not elect Messrs. Douglas and Johnson, but would elect John C. Breckinridge and Joe. Lane President and Vice-President over Messrs. Lincoln and Hamlin, then said vote should be cast for them, and in case the united vote of Pennsylvania would not elect either of these' tickets, then the electors may divide it between them according to their own judgment of what would be the best for the country and the Democratic party --the basis of tkia-iKunited action be.ng that it is the first and highest 'duty of all Democrats however they may differ about men and minor points of principle or policy, to unite against a common enemy, and to avert, if possible, the greatest calamity that cou'd befall the country, the election of a Black Republican President; arid further, the Chairman of this Committee is hereb3 authorized to correspond with the several Electors in the State, ami obtain from each of said Electors his written pledge, within thirty days from this date that he will faithfully carry out the object of this resolution." JUDGE DOUGLAS AT PHILADELPHIA. Pnn.ADEi.PHiA, July 1. After the Douglas rati fication meeting held here last night, the immensc assemblage proceeded to the Girard House and ser enaded Mr. Douglas. He said that he eould nfc refrain from makiug his appearance to express his profound gratitude for the compliment. Ie had no political speeches to make during the pending can vass. It now remains for the people to decide on the great issues. Pennsylvania believes that Con gress can better employed in developing the "reat material resources of the country thauin waiting time in forcing slavery or anti-slavery uoon the people. Philadelphia. Julv 1. After he ratification meeting last night Jude Douglas addressed a large assemblage0 from the Girard House. He said he had no political speeches to make during the pending canvass. It now re mains for the people to decide on the great issues before the country. Pennsylvania believes that Con gress can be better employed in devolving the great material resources of the country than wasting time in forcing slavery or anti-slavery upon the people. No AIsion. . Ei.r ctoral .T-icitET.-TUo-. friends of f Mr. Douglas throw cold water on. the proposition made in some quarters to unite upon a XJuion elec. toral ticket in this State. We knew they would. The object of the Douglas leaders we don't say the rank and file is to elect a Black Republican President. This has been the game from the begin ning, and they will not be balked in this scheme for any consideration. One of the Douglas leaders now occupies a high office in the "Republican" party, and if Lincoln be elected, a good many more will be well paid for their treachery. We assure our friends I that all efforts to effect a compromise with the Doug las forces, in order to defeat Lincoln, are useless. That was tried at Charleston and Baltimore for six teen days, and to no purpose. The only way is for the friends of the Unien and the Constitution to buckele on the armor and go forth under our gallant leaders to battle. Rally the unterrified Democracy to the standard of truth show that all who oppose Breckinridge and Lane are with the enemies of the Union and the Abolitionists, and by November next we shall doubtless create such a storm of indigna tion against the factionists as to sweep the country. At all events, we know tec are right; and we can af ford to go ahead and put our trust in that kind Pro vidence who has rescued our beloved country from a thousand perils, and who will not forsake it now. tn- Editorial Like. A newspaper is a queer institu. tion ; it may be destroyed at night ; it may light a candle or cigar ; it may curl a girls hair. Ah ! only think of that, girls ! Of course we don't mean any one in particular. No, indeed. An editor's thoughts are compicico, t-wceuy, eiqmsiieiy wreauieu iujamiLA.bL They are names that are fit to suuim-, your rich tresse and. ves ! nestlins down with i you in your midnight slumbers, gentlj' to guard and peacefully to keep watch over your happy dreams. Yes, indeed ! That's the destiny of many a Repub lic, we know it, for we have actually been told so. The ladies take to it and it to them. First tho damsels (if the printer divides this word we are ruined) eagerly read, then repeat the pragrammey and then it goes among the soft and beautiful tres-'; ses, and the dainty embroidered nightcaps ! Who wouldn't like to be a paper of this sort ? About half the people, we suspect. "Editors are pretty clever folks, but they don't know everything." THE WILDFIRE NOMINATIONS.

In the present crisis of affairs both as regards the Democratic party and the best interests of the coun try, it is the duty of every true Democrat and honest patriot to announce his opinions, fearlessly and ex plicitly; to declare the course which he purposes to pursue, without equivocation or reserve; and to in dicate the candidates whom he intends to support in the approaching presidential contest, with deci sion and firmness. For ourselves we mean to per form the duty fully and faithfully. We place at the head of our paper to-day, and shall keep them there until the people decide iu November next, the names of John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, for President, and Joseph Lane, of Oregon, for Vice-President. With such standard-bearers, the glorious ensign of Democracy i2onuot fail toOe the banner of success. They have not sought office, and their patriotism forbids them to decline it. The people can have faith in such men, aud they will prove it by casting the r votes for them in November, and ,thus again rescue the Government from the deadly grasp of the Black Republican party.

The story 1 r,is thus- t'Nearly thirty years-ago a wit'&w lady, of a no ble and powerful Huguenot family, residing in the door, and the gardener's- child, was lying on a bed in the cottage, the nurse heard th wheels of a car riage, and immediately suspected: that the mother of her young charge was coming t see her son. lir her flurry she snatched up the heir, but slipping. let miM .lal1 "P" a ueuL f stone, bi lking his right. i an'" a"d cohar-bone In her terror she ru.-W to j ,er husband, who advised her to stow away the ' screaming victim under the bed-clbrhes und tak- t r ing his garments he placed them on hi own, child,, and boldly stood at the door to await the lady's coming. Contrary to the usual casual glance given by her on her previous visits, the lady mother was so struck at the change of her darling, to the lean, brown, hungry -looking babe which she beheld, in the place of her own plump baby, that, vexed and exasperated beyond measure, she seized the child iu her arms, and bade the postillion drive away. The gardener and his wife were terribly frightened, but decided to go the next day to the chateau and make an explana ion, To their further consternation they found the next morning that the lady was gone and had taken away the child. Years sped on, and the family did not return, while the ignorant cottagers, influenced by terror, uever dared to stir in the matter, until the gardener's wife, on her death-bed, recently made a lull confession. In tho meantime, the cottager's child has passed his life as a member of one of the noblest families of France, has been attached to an embassy, and now holds a desirable official position, while the real heir has spent his youth iu discipline and privation as a sol dier in Algeria. The latter now brings suit to re cover his property and title. Obituary of a Newspaper. The publication of ne of tho oldest newspapers printed in the English j ianguage is about to be discontinued. It is annom. - nguage ce'd that the interest iu the London Morning Chronicle was purchased some time sinco by the prepertior of tho Morning Post. The Chroncile will be ksued, as usual, until the 1st of August; after that date it will cease to amiear. It was in tho Morning Chroncile that Sir Philip Fra ncis-or some i , . , . ,. , . .. to the world the Junius Letters, the fame cf which has not been confined tithose countries where.tho English language is spoken. l'he Morning Chroncile was established in 1770, eighteen years before the Times. The influence of the. Morning Chroncile was very great in Perry's time, although its circulation never exceeded five thousand copies. Perry presided in the office till a short time before his death; after which Mr. Clem ent, on the payment of $200,000, became sole pro prietor of the paper, and appointed Mr. Black, who had been for some years engaged in it, to the chief editorship. In 1834 the Chronicle again changed hands, having fallen away so rapidly since Perry s death, that Clement was glad to get $50,000 for his whole interest. Sir John Easthope and Lord Dur ham, who succeeded Clement, were enabled, by a sudden partiality shown by tho Tunes for theJtories to increase their sales to ten thousand copies, but these soon fell off again. It was then that ;thc "Young England party" caioe $nto , public notice. It was led by Mr, Gladstone, then a rising poiitiean and now Chancellor of the Exchequer. This new party wanted an organ, and experienced no difficul. ty in buying the Chronicle, which continued to ad vocate 'Young Englishismen" for some years. It was subsequently' sold to-some one not directly named, land, after a career of ninety years, tho Morning I Chronicle disappaars from the list of British jour nals. N. Y.
