mm npi A THIRD PARTY. Men who are partizan Democrats and Republi- oaDB frequently express their surprise or indigna tion that there should be ’jaore than two parties in the country. They don’t understand how :t is, that men do not s^e just as they see, and act ju»t as they act; and he is thought to be a very foolish or stubborn iellow who will not look upon everything as black or white, just as they look upon it. There is no use in wasting words upon persons holding such opinions, and we shall not attempt it; but there is another class, who doubt the expediency of third parties, to whom a word may be said with profit. In the first place, then, there is a large plurali ty of intelligent voters in America, who are not satisfied with either the Democratic or Republican parties, and who, if they would act as a unit upon their principles and preferences, would soon large ly outnumber either of them. This class em braces thousands and tens of thousands, who vote with both the larger organizations, because they suppose they have no where else to gu; or else they stay at home, and leave local, state and na tional politics to take care of themselves. There are seventy-five thousand of this last class of voters in the State of New York, and more than eighty thousand of the same cla.ss in the six New England States; and one hundred thousand in the three Slates of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey; and quite half a million of stay-at-homes among the so-called most respectable and wealthy citizens of the country. Put this number into an active Presidential canva.ss, with the nine hundred thousand who voted for Fillmore and Donelson in 1856, and the three hundred and fifty thousand, at least, who preferred Fillmore to Fremont or Buchanan, but who voted for the one or the other of the la.st two upon the plea that the former had no chance, and here is a vote ex ceeding the entire vote of Fremont, in 1S56, by more than four hundred thousand! Nor is there any exaggeration in this statement. Again, ten to one, if you meet a leadinsr Dem ocrat or Republican, not a professed politician, office holder or aapirant for place, he will agree with you that a third party between the extreuic.s of the two other parties, is just what the ooujitry needs. A party not for the South alone, nor for the North alone, but for the country and the whole country,—a Constitutional Union party, founded upon the broad principles of J ustice. Fraternity and Equity,—is what we need, and such a party, with good and true men a.s its lead ers in the Councils of the Nation, would give such an electrical life to th« people a.s would thrill every patriotic heart between Nova Scotia and the Pacific. And why may not such a party be successful/ Why may it not appeal to the good .sense and patriot ism of the people to add to its numbers!' I.s there no virtue and no good to be found outside of organizations which for years past have kept the country in a state ot sectional excitement hardly to be exceeded between foreign States in a time of war?’ It is lawful enough to join a third church, or a third sect—to believe in a creed not all I’ni- tarian, or all Episcopal, Calvinistic or ^’niversa- list—and no man is deemed a fool or a fanatic thereby. One, toj, when he finds two parties, or two men, disagreeing widely, can see that there are errors on both sides, and point out a road ot safety between the two. The framers of the gov ernment, when they met in a national conven tion to frame a national constitution, tound it ab solutely necessary to compromise upon the great questions of State and Federal power; and when the constitution was made, States like New York, and men like Patrick Henry of Virginia, held out vehemently for a time against its ratification. Had there been no medium between extreme opinions, we should have had no Declaration of Independence, no Constitution, no Federal (Jov- ernment, no thirteen States in one Union, and from which have sprung more than three times the original number of States. This government, indeed, could not last ten years under the extreme pressure of the extreme parties who now seek to administer it. We see the spirit of an eternal conflict between these two contestants. There is in neither of them any of the forbearance and tone of peace which characterized the founders of the Government. One side is fighting, a.-s it thinks, for the very life of one .section of the country,—and the other side are making an ag gressive, constant war upon this .section. **A higher law than the Constitution” is preached in a civil Government,—“an irrepre.ssible conflict” among fraternal States,—a war between Capital in one part of the country and Labor in another. And then precede or follow, as the ease may be, a hue and cry about the Territories, one side in sisting upon special legislation for slavery in the Territories, and the other side for special legisla tion against slavery in the Tcritories, and eac h side fighting for an abstraction, not for a practical principle, and putting the country by the ears with the very “abundance of their supeifluous breath.” Surely there is a straight and right way between these extremes, and as it is a safe and straight road, is it too much to expect that a million or two of the American people, North and South, East and West, will delight to walk there in.'’—A'cu,' } o/'^ Kj'press. Tht Constitutional Cnion Party in Itnnsyl- vania.—The State Committee La.s issued a call for a State Convention next month. From the address we make the following extract, as show ing the spirit of the party in Pennsylvania: “The principles on which it should plant itself are few and simple. They are as follows; 1st. Non-interference with the whole question of Slavery, as not being a subject for Congres sional legislation. ^ 2d. The maintenance of the Constitution of the United Sutes, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, and the enforcement of all laws enacted by Congress. 3d. Ihe protection of the Industrial Interests of the whole country, and economy and reform in the administration of the Government. On such a platform, which no dema‘-o'’ue is needed to interpret, and which is compreirensive 01 all that government can possibly do for the well being of the people, conservative and loyal men, in a 1 parts of the country, can come and stand together. N. C. COMMON SCHOOLS. GENERAL ST.\TISTICS FOR THE YEAR 1869. The leading facts of the Common School sys tem for the year 1859, are but little different fVom those of the preceding year. The disposition to build new' and better houses seems annually to increase. There has also been a very general and material advancement in the wages of teachers; and while this is a good sign it will cause the schools to be of shorter duration, or else to be opened at less frequent intervals. 1. Whole nnmhtr oj white children in the ,State. —There are reports, more or less full, of the whole number of white persons in the State be tween the ages of 6 and 21 years from 74 coun ties. The sum of these is as follows, to-wit; Males—93,494; Females—86,877; and of those whose sexes are not distinguished, 11,878; mak ing in all 186,174. 2. Children attending School.—There are re ports, not generally full, of the number of children attending school during the year (1859) in 77 counties, the sum of which is: Males—61,490; Fe males—17,442; in all, 108,938. 3. Whole number of school dittrictu reported. —78 counties report the number of .school dis tricts which they contain to be 3,373. 4. Xurnber of ichooh tauyht.—There are re ports of these from 79 counties, the sum of which is 2,768. ^ 5. Teachtn licensed.—There are lists, very often imperfect, of the names and grades of the teachers licensed in 71 counties, and the follow ing is a statement of the number: Males—1,843; Females—156; of tho.se whose sex is not distin guished, 67; in all, 2,U66. 6. The (lutraye lenyth of the schools was about four months. 7. The averaye salary oj teachers was at lea.st tuenty-elyht dollars per month, a material ad vance on former prices. 9.

Fayetteville is largely engaged I in manutacturcs as well as commerce, and the population ot the town and country around it are chietiy dependent for their supplies of food upon the up-country, where once was enjoyed a lucrative trade, or it nui.^t be brought from the North-west, at large cost«.—Iredrll Exjiress. h rtiyht fur !h> —The f reight trains on the A. iS: N.

M ash I nytun Dispatch. -1 District (-'onr>')iti,jn.—It i.s time that the higs of the 5th ('ongre.ssional district were tak ing steps to hold a Convention to nominate an Elector for this District, and also to appoint a delegate to the National ( nion (’onvetition, which is to meet in lialtimore on the 9th of May next. Let the W higs of Chatham ^next week, at their Superior Court, appoint the time and place for holding the Convention.— (Jreenshoro' Ratriot. Kijual 1 njdtion.—The Iredell E.rpress says; “It affords us no little satisfaction to learn, as we have recently, from the lips of large slareholders, sentiments ajiproving the ad valorem principle, and their entire willingness to pay equal taxes for their slave-proper y, according to value, that the non-slave holder pays for his land, his mer chandise, or money at interest. No other circumstance, which could happen in this State, would tend so much to strengthen the institution of slavery in the affections and regard of the great mass of the people—to whom the South must look to defend her rights whenever they are invaded—as the willingness of slave holders to pay taxes equal with landholders— both pay according to value.” More Doctors.—At the .\nnual Commencement of Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, one hundred and seventy graduates. ^ From North Carolina.—Wm.

Explosian of a Gasometer at the St. Charle* Hotel at New Orleans.—The gasometer of the St. I Charles hotel exploded on W ednesday night, and I set fire to the building, burning two men to death. DouaLAt) AND Seward.—'I'h*' following we find in the Washington Constitution, the official paper of the Administration, the first paragraph being editorial. It shows what is the opinion of the Administration about Douglas’s soundness— that is, that he stands on the same footing with Seward: Not much of a Conflict.—The New York “Day Book” brings together, without comment, the fol lowing passages, showing the similarity of view.^ entertained by distinguished politicians: “The people of a Territory, while in a territo rial condition, have the inherent power and right, through their legislature, to exclude slavery by positive enactment.”—Rosition oJ Douylas in Harper article. “Congress, by virtu*.- of the Constitution, has power to pass laws excluding slavery from the Territories.”—Rosition of H', H Seward Again: the Constitution thus characterises “the two platforms—Seward’s and Douglas’s:”— ••Mr. Seward and his followers insist upon the constitutional power and the duty of Congre.ss to prohibit sluvery in the Territories of the U nited States. •‘Mr. Douglas insi.sts upon the right of the Ter ritorial Legislature to do so. “Both ot these positions are entirely antagonistic to the provisions of the constitution ut tlie United States; but it requires little reflection to ])ercei\e that, Kw fur as the interests of slareholders ar;‘ concerned, S' ward’doctrine is actually bitter than that oj Douylas.” Yet the Democrats of North Carolina are pre pared to go for DouglasI Thk Cincinnati Platform.—The first re.so- lution of the Democratic State Convention reads thus; “Resolved, That we cnrdially approve and re affirm the resolutions of the Democratic National ('onvention which assembled at ('incinnati in June, 185H.” Let us see what sort of a thing was thus «Mir- dially approved and ro affirmed. The Kichmond Enquirer of the 7th inst. says of these same (.’in- cintiati resolutions,— '‘Sinee prominent and leading statesmen (ot the Democratic party) have, ujion the floor of the Senate, publicly nrown/ ri.-nsf ruction* dKt metri cally 0J>/)0sife, IT IS NOT HUNKST to permit the platform auchmtyed tu practice dt option upon the unr-fe'tiny and unu'-ify. Those who en deavor. by the deoeptiuus chicanery of an anjVjig- uous platform, to inveigle men of their vote anti influence, aro as morally criminal a.s those who attempt, by outrage and violence, to de[)rive men of any advantai:e they hold under the laws. 'I’o entrap the Northern man’s vote, by the delu>ive hopes of Free-soil Territories, is as flairitiousas to ensnare the Southern man’s pro]>erty by vain promises of riyhl to enter, without the power to hold, his .slaves in the common 'I’erritory. Lft th Democrati'' p' rty ac.nl this act of loubl>' treachery—this d> o-ptiun ot both J\orth and South. Let thrre be in th> ('harb .ston platform nothiny that ran dfceiie—that can do wrong to either North or South.” A:c. The Enquirer h.is always been a Democratic paper—a Southern I>emocratic p.iper,—and here shows that it is too honest to ••approve and re-afhrm” such “deception’' and •‘double treachery. " Our North (’arolina Democrats, on the contrary, “wish to adhere to a platform, which they t,i },o construed by the Northern Democracy as favor able to the doctrine ot Sijuatter Sovereiirnty. and by the Southern Democracy, as out and out ig noring and repudiating that heresy.” Rrospects of Mr. Douylas.—The New \ ork Times’ Washingtjn correspondent says: Hon. (jrranville (’. .^ledly. of Virginia, delegate to Charleston, is here, and reports that M r Douglas is the second choice of the Vinrinia dele^'ation. Senator Clingman sjiys he knows four of the nine North Carolinadelcirates to be enthusiastic Douglas men. The impression here seems to be that .NIr. Douglas will be nominated by aeelamation on the second ballot. The Mo cement fur Mr. Douylus.—,\1I the officers and employes in the Baltimore Custom house, who voted for Dougla.s delegate.> to Charles ton, have been dismi.ssed. Hon. A. J. Hamilton, of I’exHS, has addre.ssed a letter to Hon. Mr. Fouke. ot Illinois, advocating the nomination ot Judge Djuglas at Charleston. The / 'ire Ea ttrs and thf R>publicans.—'I’he fire eaters of the South are getting a large cir culation for their disunion speeches at the Tri bune office. 'I’he worst sentiments of extrenn- men are embodied in political panqihlets and cir culated far and wide as specimens oi Southern opinions. Thus whole section> and States are to be made res})onsihle for the trea.sonable dogmas of a few sece.ssionists, and a great Presidential battle fought by one partj- of one section against another parry of another section. Docs not every patriotic citizen see and feel that tli^TC ought to be a National I, nion party against these extremes!'' A", y. E.rpre.'is. Tennessee Delegates.—Among the dele gates for the State at large to the Constitutional Union Convention, we notice the names of Hon. ' John Baxter, recently of Henderson County, N. C., and Gov. Neill S. Brown, formerly of Robe son County, N. C. Southern Wheat Crops.—A letter from a subscriber in Campbell County, Georgia, says that •‘the prospect for a wheat crop is blasted in all this country and Alabama. It was so nearly frozen out in the winter, that we cannot make one-tenth of a crop.” A Dajf't Dx»a»ter$ by Fire.—In the New York Times of Wednesday last the following disasters are announced by despatches of Tuesday’s date;— The Mobile Ala. Theatre, the Union Cotton Press, with 2,000 bales of cotton, and several ad- i joining buildings were destroyed by fire this morn- ing. The loss is estimated at 8275,000. A fire in Lynn, Mass., last night, destroyed the Mechanics’ .steam saw-mills. Loss 810,000. The large steam flouring mill at E)ast Saginaw, New York, owned by Jesse Hoyt, of New York City, with a large quantity of flour and grain, j was burned on Saturday night. Loss about : 830,000. I The dwelling of Humphrey Owens, a few miles north of Salem, Ohio, was destroyed by fire this morning. Five children perished in the flames. ' The steamer Judge Porter, from Montgomery ' for New Orleans, was burned this morning on I Lake Pontchartrain, a mile from her wharf Her I crew were saved, but ten passengers were drown ed or are missing. Her cargo, consisting of 800 bales of cotton, together with the boat, is a total : loss. BOOTS AND SHOES!

Velloic Jessamine Flowtrs.—'fhis is the sea son, says the Augusta Constitutionalist, when the beautiful and highly aromatic, but dangerous, yel low jessamine flower is in bloom.

If this fact is gen erally known i: may save many a fond parent pre mature grief over loved offspring.

C)ld Woynan's Ticenty-fifth Birthday.— is now residing in Elmira an old lady I named Mrs. Hannah Webber, who reached her i twenty-fifth birthday on Wednesday of week be- j tore last, and yet is one hundred years old. She wa.s born on February 29, 1760; as that was leap year, there had been but twenty-five recurrences of that day from the time of her birth to the pre sent time. Mrs. Webber receives an annual pen sion of 896 from the Government, her husband having taken an active part in the Revolutionary War. Two Itcjfs of the Case.—Judge C U. S. Senator from Vermont, related to us a good anec- dMe, the other day, illustrative of Abolitionism. The morning he was leaving home to enter upon his duties in this city, a straight-faced deacon who looked upon the whole South as a great pan demonium, called on him and said: “N ow, Judge, I want you to do all in your power to abolish slavery.” “AV ell,” said the J udge, “how shall I proceed?” “Oh, I don’t know; but you must abolish it. It’s a great curse, and must* be abolished. You know more about law than I do. The church is my stronghold, but you understand national mat ters, and can devise some plan, and I know it.” “The only way I see to abolish it,” said the Judge, “is to buy all the slaves and set them free.” “\Vell, go in for that; have the law passed that the North shall buy them, and then this trouble will end. Yes, you go in strong for that. Judge.” “Just as you say, deacon. I will agree to it in a moment, and will stand my share of the expense. Here is Woodstock with three hundred inhabi tants, and this town would be called on for about six hundred thousand dollars—and I will urge it before the Senate.” The good deacon opened his mouth, then his ^eyes, allowed hie tongue to escape from one corner of his face, scratched his head, and tapped im patiently on the floor with his foot. As the Judge was leaving the room, the deacon’s power of speech came to him, and he called out: “Oh, say, J udge, I guess you’d better let slavery alone. The poor black fellows are better off in the South, than up here in this cold climate!” There are several just such deacons in the country.— Washington paper. Prenticc on Original Sin.—Prentice, in the Louisville Journal, says:—“Miss Harriet Beecher, a woman of great ability, sister of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and several other Beechers, has published a theological work, inquiring how sin came into the world. There are matters of more practical importance than that inquiry. If there is a pig in your garden, you had better busy your self in driving it out than in apeculating bow it got in.” LATER FROM EUROPE St. Johns, N.

A new Legislature a Governor, and other State and county officer were to be chosen.

The Charleston Convention.—The .\atioiiai Democratic Committee is to meet at an earlv Jav, to consult on the propriety of changing the place for holding the approaching Convention, Iron; Charleston to some city where the hotel proprie- tor.^ will be satisfied with less than five dollars diem for board. Remonstrances against submit ting to this threatened extortion Tiave, it i> said, come to the committee from all quarters. If it should find Democratic opinion generally in favor of such action, Baltimore may yet be subatituieil for Charleston.—N. V. Times. A New York paper says,— “Our Southern friends will make a mistake, if they suppose that it will be the object of all who rush to the Convention to spend as much nion*‘j as possible. The Xew \ ork delegation, it is un derstood, intend to go in a steamer, and to live on board during their .stay, carrying their pruvisious with them. A W estern delegation, it is announc ed, will go provided with tents, and will camp out ” Pacific Railroad.—The Special Pacific Kail road Committee, in the House, have had a meet ing and ageneral expression of views. Mr. Curtis, the Chairman, favors a Northern and a Southerij route, to avoid the charge of sectionalism. He thinks this proposition the one combining the most strength. Other Republicans concur, urging that such a bill would ignore the charge of sec tionalism, so constantly made by Southern men The Printing Corruption Invastigation.—iohu R. Larcombe, 3Ir. Wendell’s foreman, testified before the Committee on Expenditures on Tues day, and made some disclosures aa to the use of printing spoils in the Pennsylvania and other elec tions. His evidence establishes the improper use of money by parties high in authority. Mr Heart Superintendent of Public Printing, tesU- fied as to the rottenness of the present system, and strongly approved the proposition for a (iov- ernment Printing oflSce.—N. K Times. Religious ^'■Freedom" in Albany.—Quite an ex citement exists at Albany, N. Y., in the religiou' community, growing out of the conversion to Pro testantism of a young Irish woman, reared a Ro manist. It seems that she has been employed as a domestic in the Protestant Orphan Asylum, and having opportunity to attend the services in the Washington avenue Baptist Church, became awakened, and after a short time avowed her belief in the doctrines she had heard enunciated. TLi.' coming to the knowledge of her father, he took a pistol and called upon her at the Asylum and made an attempt to shoot her, but fortunately the pistol was not loaded. He was taken into custody, but the end was not here. On Friday evening a large crowd assembled at the church, and alter the close of the services au attempt was made to take her forcibly from the care of her friend,s. The attempt was unsuccessful, and it was rumored that she would be baptised in the church yesterday, but a threat that if this took place the church should be sacked by a mob, determined those having charge of her to defer the ceremony. This is a disgraceful state of things to be per mitted in a civilized community, and particularly so in the capital of the State of New York. Cor. N. y. Commercial. National ('oni'ention of the Young Mm Christian Associations.—This convocation take:* place at N. Orleans on the Ilth of April next Five hundred delegates arc expected to attend. Some thirty years ago, a gentleman of this city took two old pictures on a debt of 85. They were renovated and the owner was offered 850 for them. Subsequently a larger sum was offered. Finally an old inscription on the back of one of the paint ings was deciphered, and it was found that the pictures were two of Rembrandt’s series of the Apostles. These paintings are to be sent to France for sale. It is said that 82000 have been offered for them here.—Nev York Commercial In removing the dead from the ground of the First Baptist Church, in La Grange place, Phila delphia, one coffin was opened, in which the body was found to be almost wholy petrified. It was that of a man about 40 years of age, and though it had been in the earth one hundred years, the countenance was as smooth and placid, and his white hair as perfect, as the day it was placed in its resting place. When Bishop Leighton was one day lost in med itation in his own sequestered walk at Dunblane, a fair young widow came up to him, and told hitn it was ordered that he should marry her; for she had dreamed thrice that she was married to him Very well,” replied the bishop, “whenever I shall dream that I am married to you, I will let you know, and we will be married immediately.” Rogues set to catch Rogues.—The detective police force of Philadelphia have been detected to be in complicity with rogues. It is said that one of the officers passed a store while two knaves were despoiling it, and received a bribe of J200 to ‘‘mind hia own business.” I^ECTIRI The Second Le Mount Vernon Fa Hall on to-moiTOw d.
