'TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. 24, 18C0.
A Presidential Ticket.
gome friend has sent us a copy of the Potts
ville (P0 Standard of Jafiuary 14, 18G0, which
paper has run up the name of Hon J. C. Breck
inri3f?e for President and Hon. Francis V. Hughes
for Vice President, subject to the decision of the
Charleston Coiivention.
We have time and again expressed a desire to
gee the democrats and old line whigs coalesce in
the coming struggle believing that thereby a
stronger opposition could be organized against
the Black Republicans than in any other way,
but we fear that the political leaders will not let
such an arrangement be brought about, though
it might bo the means of elevating the right men
to the right place af?d putting a stop to much of
that government plundering, which is. now going
on. By the adoption of this plan and the selec
tion of some one of the best national men in the
democratic party for President, and a national,
conservative old line whig for Vice President, the
strength of the two parties might be secured ill
the common straggle for law and order against
fanaticism and treason, and, in the event of the
success of the ticket, by selecting the best men
from the two parties to fill the federal offices much
of the bitterness of party, which now exists much
to the detriment of good government, might be
,-ibolished, and the affairs of the nation be admin
istered on a surer aud safer basis. Speculate as
we may we must be finally forced to the conclu
sion that the contest lies between the nominee of
the Charleston Convention and the Abolition
ticket. One of these two must triumph, and such
being morally certain wc say that no Southern
patriot can refuse to take sides however much he
may despise the intrigues and corruption of jtartics;
and as for ourself we know no man that could be
brought forward better qualified to administer the
affairs of the government to t he satisfaction of the
whole conservative people in every section ot the
Union than Mr. Breckinridge.
Whatever the nominees in opposition to the
Black Republicans may be especial reference
should be had as to their ability to carry Penn
sylvania, for as sure as the day of conflict comes
Pennsylvania will decide the battle. She beat
Fremont in 185(5 and maybe the means of defeat
ing Seward in 18G0, but so sure as Pennsylvania
votes for the Black Republican ticket so sure is
its success. It is folly to talk about New York.
All the Union meetings that can be held between
now and November will not prevent Seward car
rying the State by 40,000 votes. The only hope
of defeating him then consists in saving Penn
sylvania against him, aud special reference may
have been had to this view of the matter in sug
gesting the name of a distinguished citizen of that
State for the office of Vice President. We quote
from an article in the. paper alluded to:
John C. Breckinridge, our present Vice Pre-i-1
Mil , alt In ugh young in years, is old in public- life
nnd services to wis country. .Not only ha lit; graced
1 1 1 o high position which lie now occupies, but he
presents a record without a blemish gr a stain.
Loved and hono"ed by all wlm know him. Toe.
1 --i.-'iituie of Kentucky, his native State, l ave al
u-ady testified t;icir higii apprecintiou of n life-loii;
-i viec by electing him ton sent in t he Senate oft ho
United States. Coming, as he decs, from the great
o uh-we.-a , s nJ bearing with him the confidence of
toe South, ni c mservutive principles, together with
ids substantial and brilliant talents, render him an
e.ipecial lovorite with the Northern Democracy. Oi"
toe Hon. F. W J lug lies, our candidate lor Vice
President, it is not necessary lor in tospeak at large,
his charucler is well known to u all. Gifted as he
is, with a very high order of intellect, his ambition
nan never led him to seek those positions in public
life, which his talents would demand, his character
would justify, and which his great personal popu
larity would command. Although he has tilled with
uijriaty and ability, toe ofiices of Secretary of the
Commonwealth, and Attorney General of toe State
of Pennsylvania, yet hi.-tastes and habits of life, have
induced him in the retirement of private li:e, to aim
at those forensic triumphs, which have given him
to-day, the reputation of one of the first, if not the
very first, lawyer of his native State. Although fre
quently urged to allow his jiauic to be presented as
n candidate for the highest honors in the gift of Penn
sylvania, he has persistently refused. - But the time
has arrived when the country needs the service of
such a Jiau. His life has been one long scene of la
bor for the advancement of the party and of his
country. While others have reaped the honors of
position, he has contentedly taken his stand among
the rank und file. His nomination we are satisfied,
would secure to Pennsylvania, a large Democratic
n.iijority, not ouly from the respect with which he is
iei;arded as a conservative Democrat, but from the
high esteem in which he is held by persons of all
unities, on account of his talents und his high-toned
benevolence of character.
Harpers IVIaguzine JlcKac's I.pclure
We invite the attention of the admirers and
patrons of Harpers Magazine and Harpers Week
ly hereabouts to the action ot Judge Saunders in
reference to these " incendiary " publications in
the vicinity of Raleigh. We take the following
from the Raleigh correspondence of the Petersburg
Express :
I was present when Judge Saunders told Mr.
Pomroy, proprietor of a large book store in this
place-, to stop Harper's Weekly and Monthly Maga
zine on account of the fact that G. W. Curtis one
of the editors is an Abolitionist and that one of
the Harpers has been contributing moiiey for the
relief of escaped slaves in Canada. This is a no
ble example and should be promptly followed by
every Southern man and woman.
In conclusion, I am happy to inform you that
we had a real literary treat last evening in the
Lecture of D. K. McRae. The Common's Hall was
crowded and all seemed delighted. The.proceeds
are to be applied for the relief of the poor in this
city. The Liecture was a commentary on an ad
dress delivered by Hon. William Gaston at Chapel
Hill several years since, and was truly sublime
in some portions. I will not attempt to give anal
ysis of the Lecture, as I presume it will be de
livered at other places ; but suffice it to say that
Mr. McRae is the most attractive orator in this
State.
Witoxc Whatever may be the opinions en
tertained by different persons as to the propriety
of the change in our State Constitution asked for
by the " Wake Cdiinty Working Men's Associa
tion," no one has a right to question their sincer
ity or to doubt their loyalty to the Stfuth and her
institutions. We know m&st of the gentlemen
whose name appear in connection with that Ad
dress and we know that there are no truer or bet
ter men in North Carolina and none that are
more firm in their opposition to' abolitionism.
We can only look upon any attempt then to in
volve therrf iri the " irrepressible conff?ct " as un
called for and despicable. This is not a time for
the loyalty of true North Carolinians to be ques
tioned and those party presses who are making
war upon the men engaged in this movement are
not elevating themselves thereby We should
have published the Address had it not been too
I on j for our limited space.
The Nigger ! The Nlgse .
Some of our people, not cefntent with the trou
ble that now prevail in- consequence bf the re
ce'ntly immortalized-negroi and not being satis
fied with domestic agitatiori, want to stir np a lit
tle rumpus with Jonny Bull on the woolly head
subject. Well, pitch in, we don't care. We
find the following in the Wilmington Journal of
Friday :
. Wilmington, Jan. 13, 18G0.
f1R I leave to call your attention, in con
sultation with the two honorable Senators named,
to the subject of those 45 or 50,000 stolen South
ern negroes in Canada, which, at $G00 a head,
average, amounts to thirty million dollars of South
ern stolen property, accumulated in years past
and secreted in Canada,
I think there must bo in the law of nations a
right, hanging dormant in Congress, to call on
Paniameut to deliver up those stolen Southern
negroes in Canada, to Southern American vessels
at Quebec, in the course of the ensuing Summer
or Fall, and I cannot see how Parliament can re
fuse to comply with such a demand without vio
lating the comity of the law of nations.
We comply with the request made of us and
publish the following proceedings of a meeting
held in Newbern on Thursday the 12th instant.
We could have published them on the morning
of the 13th, twelve hours after the meeting, jnst
as well and would have preferred to have done so,
but for reasons not explained it was ordered that
they should come to us second handed, 12 days
after. At first we thought we would not publish
them at all, after the elapse of such a length of
time, but after calmly considering the matter wc
felt sure that mauy persons interested in the Con
vention would never see the proceedings of this
meeting at all if not published in our paper.
When the District Convention meets on the fourth
Thursday in March either our Reporter or ourself
will be present to report the proceedings for the
Progress. Ed. Prookess.

J th day of January ; and whereat, that time having
arrived and the delegates from the aforesaid coun
ties having convened in Newbern accordingly, and
finding that a majority of the counties, have no rep

ly recommend the said paper to the Democracy for
their support.

Energetic. By last night's mail we received
another letter from our energetic friend at Salis
bury enclosing the money for four more new sub
scribers, accompanied by the gratifying intelli
gence that he had obtained a promise from a tal
ented lady of that place to favor the Progress with
an occasional letter hereafter. We do not ask the
public to give us an extensive patronage that we
may make a good paper; we mean to make a
good paper, patronage or no patronage, and depend
upon the incoming of " the sinews of war." So
far we have abundant cause to rejoice.
Can't See Why. We see that nearly all our
neighboring exchanges are complaining that they
can get no mails from Washington, and they are
greatly put out in consequence. Well now for
the life of us we can't see why, for owing to the
nature of the intelligence received from that quar
ter when it does come to hand we should be per
lectly willing to be without Washington mails
until the next fourth of July. We have a good
mind to say that we won't notice Congress again
during the present session any way. No mails
from Washington, indeed! What do you get
when they do come to hand ?
The Right SriuiT. The Cavalry company
formed in Onslow a few days ago resolved, on
motion of Col. L. W. Humphrey, to have their
uniform made of North Carolina manufactured
cloth. CoL Humphrey is a true Southerner and
a most useful citizen. He has served the people
of Onslow in both branches of the Legislature
greatly to their satisfaction, and will, we doubt
not. continue to serve them in the same capacity.
Correction. We have been requested to say
that " Frank " our Snow Hill correspondent, was
lin error in stating that Mr. and Mrs. McDugald
were going to take charge of a school at Snow
Hill. They have entertained no such idea.
New Dress. The Petersburg Express, one of
the best netcspapers in the United States, appear
ed in an entire new dress on Saturday last. The
Express deserves its prosperity.
Concertizing. Madame Anne Bishop was
singing in Washington City last week.

dist Church, by Rev; Jas. Suydain, Mr. Jas. E. Ber
ry to Miss R. E , daughter of J. W. Hancock, all of

DEATH OF LORD MAC ATTI.A V
.The literary world will be pained to hear of the
decease of Lord Matfaulay, the eminent literature
and historian, whose writings re found in every
library and form a standard for imitation in all
our institutions . of learning- Only last year he
was ennobled for his eminence as- a man ot letters
and historian, no -ether man of modern times
having so greatly inSuenccd the stylo of IJnlisb;
literature.
Thomas Bobington Macanlay was born in 1900,
and is therefore cut off at the meridian of useful
ness. Parsomg his studies at Cambridge, Eng
land, ho obtained some of its highest honors, and
in IfeUi was admitted to the bar.
In tho. same year bis essay on Milton appeard
in the .Edinburgh Review, the first of the series
which have rendered him one of the most destin
guisbed supports and ornaments of that Work.
By the whig, government he ttaj made a commis
sioner of bankrupts, and shortly did good service
to his party in the House of Commons, to which
he was returned by the constituency of Calne,
Wiltshire, in the reformed Parliment of 1832.
In 1834 he was elected mcaaber for Leeds, at
which time he was secretary to the India Board.
In the same year he resigned his appointment
with his seat, to proceed to India, as a member of
the Supreme Council of Calcutta a lucrative post
which he held for three years.
In 1838 he returned to England, and shortly
afterwards was elected member for Edinburgh.
In the general election of 1847 Mr Macaulay was
rejejected by that constituency in favor of Mr
Cowan, whose theological learnings were more
distinctly marked than those of his rival. Mr.
l aiacauiay s nigu literary capacity made itself ap
j parent during his collegiate days, when he had
! already written that spirited ballad, "Tho Wrar of
! the League." HU "I..ivs of Anrimit Tfnmo "
founded n the heroic and romantic incidents re
lated by Livy, are remarkable for their striking
pictures of life and manners, the abrupt energy of
their style, and the rapid progress of their narra
tive. Macaulay is, however, best known by his criti
cal and historical essays, contributed to the "Ed
inburgh Review," which have been collected in
several forms both in this country and in Eng
land, and hav'o enjoyed a high degree of popular
ity. The field chosen by the author is of the
widest range ; his success is, however, most mark
ed in the field of literary and historical criticism.
Here his vast erudition, his command of details,
and brilliant style, place him above every rival.
Mr. Macaulay's " History of England ' is marked
by all the peculiarities of his writing, which the
essay have made familiar. It has had a populari
ty far beyond any publication of modern times,
having in a few weeks run through several large
editions.
MR. MEMMINGER'S SPEECH.
The speech of this distinguished gentleman,
Commissioner from the State of South Carolina
to Virginia, addressed both Houses of the Gener
al Assembly yesterday, was an effort of marked
ability and statesmanship. He was listened to
with marked interest! The Hall of tho House of
Delegates was crowded, as were both the gal
leries, which were appropriated to the ladies
He traced with great cleariness the steady inroads
from the North upon the rights of the South, and
the rise and progress of abolition fanaticism His
picture of the present attitude of our relations
with the North was gloomy enough, but not at
all overdrawn. He proved very conclusively
that the guarantees of the Constitution have been
utterly unavailing to protect the South. He ar
gued that if the Union must be continued the
South must demand othei'and more efficient guar
antees, or make concession alter concession until
she has lost all influence, all consideration and
all rights in tho Confederacy. He urged with
great force the propriety of a Convention of the
Southern States to consider the questions grow
ing out of our relations to the Northern States.
We have presented in our paper this morning,
elsewhere, as comprehensive a synopsis of Mr.
Memminger's speech as our space will admit. He
occupied near four hours in delivering it, but the
attention of his hearers did not flag. Among
them were a number of prominent gentlemen of
the bench and the bar and public councils.
Richmond Dispatch.
The New London Star says that Neal Dow, of
Portland, the father of the "Maine Law,'" has be
come enslaved by the terrible habit which it has
been of late the effort of his life publicly to reform.
If this be so, it affords another melancholy exam
pki of the inefficiency of legal restrainsts to pre
serve the purity or to correct the vicious practices
of individual life.
