PEARSON, Fs.s., are candidates to represent this(Rowan) district in tiie next Congress of the United States -THE CONVLLnTIOX. The Convention, for the Reform of the State Consti tution, having finished all the duties confided to it, ad journed on Saturday last. We are pleased to have it in our power to present our readers with a synopsis of all Uie amendments a iopted ; they will find it under the he.ul ot "Captions." It will be seen that the Amendments are to be submitted to the People for their Ratification or Rejection on the '2nd Monday in No vember next : the polls will be kepi open for three suc cessive uuys, at winch tune we hope that the People of the Western Counties will generally turn out, and vote for Ru i mention, and thus terminate a contest that lias distracted the State, more or less, for the last thirty J ' matters not altogether satisfactory ti , , , 7 on the whole, the views and wishes j been met, at leait as nearly so as co ti years. Among tne Amendments there may be a tew matters not altogether satisfactory to some persons, but , ishes of the West have 5 could have been rea- ,,1 , , . : m :ch talent, it was distinguished for plain common sense, which, after all, is the only kind of sense that "can be relied on fbr useful purposes. Except on the 32nd Section, there were but few useless long speech es. The speeches were generally short and to the point ; nene ot that long, learned, useless rhetorical rigmarole wasch so pre-eminently distinguished the Virginia Con vention, but all was plain, straight-forward, and business-like. We understand that the greatest harmony prevailed in tiie Convent.on iro n the first to the last. Some few inconsiderate men from the East, made an elibrt or two to tlefeat tiie objects of the Convention, but they were put down by tiie good sense and good fdith which cha racterized the great bouy of the members, both rrom the West and the East. On the whole, the proceed- tgs of the Convention are not only highly creditable to that txxty, hut to ..ortii Carolina; andUiev show that lt our p.. ;ire not ailo.rcti.er as slimvv ' lt our people ;ire not altogether as s ers tljey Jre a virtuolls, anJ ,, , frohaulv in our next ptoer we wi " . h sen.-ible people. ill be able to com- ! uience tne pubhcation of tne Amendments themselves. "AUTIES OF CONSISTENCY.' nder th.s head the Ed itor of t he " Manuard" not of &c. Gov. Swain, Charles Fisher, mid John nilc li ving been present at the meeting, are considered by the Standard as having consented to the charge. It is not true, that Gov. Swnn was present when the vote was taken on tiie Resolutions, he having left for Ciiar- h,lte an hour or two previously ; but Messrs. Fisher and I e,i. . .1 1-1 . . . vjnt-s weiu jjifsein, ana uiu vote ior the itesoiutions, one and alt. Tnis is the state of die case, and now how does the Standard treat it! 'Does be prove that the charge against Van Buren was wrongfully made that is, that he did not give the vote in question ! No; he does not prove this ; but lie goes to work in the true an Buren style of disingenueucness, to show that tiov. Swain, Charles Fisher, ana John Giles have been uil- ... fc ty ot inconsistency, lias lie shown even this! We answer no; far from it. To prove that these gentlemen have been guilty of inconsistency, it must be shown, that they charged Mr. Van Buren with having tione a thing wh.cii, afterwards, they themselves were udty of. Now, is this so i let f icts speak . The Rowan Re solutions cnarge Martin Van Buren with having " vo ted to place free ntgroes, as regards the right of suf frage, on an equal footing with white men." Will the Standard assert that either Gov. Swain, Charles Fisher, or John Giles, as Delegates in tiie Convention, voted to pluce free negroes on an equal footing with white men ? If it makes any such assertion, either openly or by im plication, it will b . asserting what is not true, for they gave no such vote ; the vote they gave was fbr a qual'i Jied su.ir-jge, and finally they voted for the arnenuinent which exclu led free negroes altogether. This is the true state of tiie case, and yet the statement in the fctanaard is so drawn up as to make an impression on the inattentive reader that Messrs. Swain, Fisher, and (ides had been guilty of the very act which they them selves, iu common with the Rowan meeting, had char ged as an objection to Mr. Van Buren ! "Oh shame, where is thy blush !" So much for that part of the ar ticle in li3 Standard which relates to Gov. Swain, and Messrs. Fisher and Giles. In our next, we will notice the last part of the article, which aims a blow at UigX public meeting held in Salisbury on the lSih of May. EDMUND RUCKF.R, S. D. M. B. C.

If not, we can inform them that he is a patent Steam D -tor, residing in Rutherford county, Tennessee; and that the above title signifies Steam Doctor and Member of the Haiti more Caucus.
