The object of the meeting having been . ex plained by the Chairman, CoL R.

Therefore - 1. Resolved, That the Chairman ef this meeting appoint ten'delegates to represent the Whiga of Hay wood County in said Convention, and that they be authorized to fill all vacancies which may occur in their body. 2. r Resolved, That we hare the fullest confidence in tbe integrity and patriotism of our present chief magistrate, William A. Graham, the purity of whoe heart bia friends cannot' magnify, or bis worst and most bitter enemies traduce a skilful pilot at the helm of our State Government, to whom the grati tude of the State justly due for the faithful man ner in which be bas discharged tbe duties of the va rious high and important offices which abe baa from time te time (unsought for) required him to fill, and that we will cordially co-operate with our Whig brethren throughout tbe State, should he be the choice of the Convention, in sustsiuing his nomination for re election. ;- 3. Resolved, That we view the present ss a moat alarming crisis in the affairs of our b loved country, fraught with the deepest interest to all, from the im portant issues lately submitted by the President of the U. S. to Congress ; we therefore think it is tbe bounden duty" of every true Whig end patriot once more to buckle on the armor, to prepare for tbe con teat, and endeavor by every proper and honorable meana in his power to secure the stability and perpe tuity of our Republican Institutions, and we would earnestly entreat our Whig frienda in thia State to unite with na in preserving the purity ofthoee princi ples in the Old North State which bave ever ruled the councils and animated tbe hearts of tbe great re publican Whig party, throughout the Union. , In accordance with the first resolution, the Chairman appointed the following gentlemen as delegates : Daniel Bryson, Dr. John Mingus, Capt.

Pnrsuant to a previous call, the Whigs of Hen. derson County assembled in tbe Court bouse on Mondaythe 22d inst. On motioo, CoL John Baxter took the Chair and J. M. Edney was appointed Secretary. The Chairman briefly explained tbe object of the meet ing and urged npon the Wbigs of the District to be active, and watchful of their interests and their public officers, showing the extravagance and prodigality of the present Administration and the strong probability of a war with England, &c j ' On motion a committee of three was appointed to draft and report reaolationa expressive ef the sense of the meeting. CoL Clayton, II. T Fsr mer, ana fc.ua as njng Esquire, constituted that committee. . . c After retiring a few momenta, tit following re- pert was breegbt iand read, and ably supported bythe Hon. T. U Clingtaan, particularly that portion relating to" Oregon. He shewed the un precedented inconsisU-ncy of Mr.. Polk inrec ommending measures that were likely to create war, and with tbe same breath urging a reduction of the revenue, while that of the last year did not meet tbe ordinary expenses of tbe government ; and in the Jast place, making no provision what, ever for any - such -contingency I ; 14 Wisdom, it known o her children." 1 Gen. Brittain then show, ed tbe disastrous consequences thst would attend a war in our country, and our total want of prep aration for the same. Whereas, in times liks the present, when the guar dians of the public weal are divided in opiuion and contending for eppposite principles, Conventions fair ly constituted, and representiug every interest, are indispensable to party success. , By the action of Conventions, efficient organization ia effected, schisms reconciled, sectional jealousies allayed, harmony pro moted, enthusiasm excited, and individual ambition kept within useful limits, so as to present but one ; candidate represeutiug the same principles, opon whom the entire vole of party can be concentrated and triumph secured to tbe majority. 'Therefore - Resolved, That we approve of the proposition to '.held a Whig Convention in the city of Raleigh on the 12th of January next, to nominate a candidate for Governor of the State, and that the Chairman appoint five delegates to represent the Whigs of this county in the same ; and iu the event that either one or more of the delegatea appointed eaunot' attend said Convention, tbey snd each of them are hereby authorized to appoint a substitute. Resolved, That his Excellency William A. Gra ham, in the discharge of his various official duties, bas giveu entire satisfaction to the Whigs of Hender son, and reflected honor upon bis. native Slate- His modest, unobtrusive deportment, strict morality, pro found learning, aud variedv attainments, iudustry in the public service, love of order, and devotion to the constitution, ability, and unwavering probity, com mand our confidence' and admiration, and we re commend him to the Convention as our first choice for the Executive Chair of the State. Resolved, That we recommend to the nominee of said Convention to commence at an early period and thoroughly canyass the State. Resolved, That the " Constitutional Treasury" recommended by President Polk in his late message is the condemned Tuo Treasury" iho re-establishment of whjch waWill steadily oppose, whether pre sented by anfew-4iahie or otherwise disguised, for the following reasons, among others, urged by President Polk in a speech delivered in Congress on the 10th of February, 1835: First, by it the power and patronage of the Executive would be dangerously augmented, and the expenses of the Government iucreased. Second lyj because " it may happen in the fluctuations of the amountfof revenue aud expenditure, that there will be at some time considerable surplus in the trea sury, which, if it be withdrawn from circulation and placed in the strong box of a receiver, the amount of circulation will be injuriously distutbed by hoarding the deposite, by which the value of every article of merchandise and property will be affected." Resolved, That ibe revenue necessary lor the sup port of the Federal Government ought to be collected by a Tariff upon imported merchandise, and that the duties thereon should be made permanent, and by wise discrimination afford incidental protection to every branch of home industry that the Tariff of '42 is based npon ttje foregoing principles, has operated equally on all interests, replenished tbe national treasury, and we protest against any material change or modification of the same. Resolved, That the United States have rights in Oregon which should not be surrendered, and the un reasonable claim ol Great Britain ought, if necessary, to be resisted by force ; but we disapprove of tbe re commendation of President Polk to terminate at this time the joint occupancy of that territory, authorized by the treaty of 27. By abrogating said treaty now, a collision between the two Governments would pro bably follow the exienvive commerce ol both nations would be suspended the funber emigration to and settlement of Oregon would cease, snd our rights maintained at an immense sacrifice ol blood and treasure ;Svhereas, if our treaty stipulations are con tinued, in a few years Oregon will be peopled by emigrants from the United Slates, carrying with them strong attachments to our Union and a love of repub lican institntions and a bloodless victory achieved. Resolved, That tbe many virtues and invaluable services or HENRY CLAY will be held in grateful remembrance by us We recur to bis venerated name not for political effect, but as a voluntary homage to his comprehensive patriotism and transcendent genius. In the evening of bis eventful life, we wish him every happiness ; especially may he view, from the retired shades of Ashland bis country, poweiful in all the elements of greatness, dissipating the malign inCuence of faction, bursting asunder the shackles of party, burying all seotional strife, and cultivating kind feelings between all classes, growing in prosperity, and rising equal to ber destiny. , The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Tbe Chairman appointed the following gentle men in compliance with the first resolution, viz : James M. Edney, Charles de Choiseul, James W. Jones, L S. Gash, and Joseph Livingston. On motion, Gen. B. M. Edney was added to the delegation. On motion, the proceedings of the meeting were ordered to be published in the Highland Messenger, and the meeting adjourned. JOHN BAXTER, Chairman. James M.

There is a Grecian allegory from which we may derive an instructive lesson for January, or. that point of time when tbe Old Year is dying and tbe New Year begins its course, bright and joyful, full of life and hope. And here we may remark that itts well to know something respect ing the false religions of ancieat nations, that we may see how far ihey were from truej wisdom, and how great was the necessity of a divine rev elation to lead men to the Knowledge of the truth. Janus was the fabulous deity, from whom the month of JanuaryTbe period when we enter up on a New Year, derives its name. He is always represented with two faces looking in opposite directions, one backward as if retracing tbe events of the past year, the other forward in thoughtful anticipation of the future. What an interesting symbol ! How full of instruction and beauty ! Tbia is indeed but a Pagan image, and Christian ity among its numerous blessings has freed us from the bondage of believing in the wild fables and strange gods of the heathen. Yet there is an excellent moral woven into this fable of Janus, and if the month of January, as often aa it returns, would forcibly impress if upon our minds, it might come with rich blessings to us. It counsels us to pause in our career : to live over the past year in deep reflection, and with thoughtful solicitude gather up the rich seeds of truth and wisdom that have been dropped, in order to sow them and obtain a harvest for tbe coming year. The recollections of the past, the fond review of joys and sorrows, labors and dangers that are now no more, is indeed of use to us, only as it serves to in fluence our future conduct and guide us through tbe untried paths upon which we are entering. The past is the school of experience out of which we ought to come wiser and better each revolv. ing year. The power of retrospection was given us that we might glean, from tbe backward view, warnings and admonitions to prevent us from fal ling again into past errors, and counsels to direct us in the pursdit of future good. Tbe torches that were' left burning along the wayside of tbe year that has been, ought to cast some gleams of light upon tbe darkness and uncertainty of tfye year that is to be. The poet speaks wisely when he tells us j " To make each year a critic on ths IasLn Would not every one's character be improved by such a course T Is it wise to glide along through life in a careless, raah or random manner, without reflection or forethought, the victims of chance and circumstance ! No : let us take the hint suggested by January, and begin the year with the fixed determination to improve upon the past, to be guided, not by contingencies, not by the example of others, but by a resolute purpose to act well our part, to seek truth and to do thai which is right. Salisbury, January 2. Why do the Locofocos wish to oust Gov. Graham from the Chair of State, after it has been acknowledged that his 1 Administration is faultless and entirely satisfactory ! And this ad-' mission made' by a strong Locofoco editor, and opposition to his re-election deprecated 1 Why is it we ask! Is it because the leaders of that faction believe they can better the affairs of Stale! No. They know they cannot, It is not the na ture of Locofocietn to make things belter, r to let well enough alone, but to. worst every thing they undertake to improve. This assertion is suf ficiently substantiated when it ia remembered that in nearly every S ate where this same party have had the sway, those States have been con siderably worsted many have been compelled to resort to the odious doctrine of repudiation, or placed in such a crippled condition as not to be able to pay their just liabilities. Considering that such is tbe case with those States which have been under' the dominion of Locofocoism, would it be prudent in the People of North Carolina, at this time, to eject from office a faithful officer and commit the government of the good old North Sute to .their hands T . . We cannot for a moment permit ourselves to thinf such will be the result. A State that has always kept her name unstained by the touch of Democ racy, (modern we mean, fir she has always been governed by true Democrats) now to fell into tbe slough of Locofocoism, we conceive to be iuipna-. sible. The time is not yet forgotten, when this party, ealling itself democratic, being in an acci dental majority in our Legislature, tried to destroy our well regulated currency, by creating distrust abroad aa to the ability of the Banks of the Stste to redeem their notes, and we trust never will be; but treasured up aa one of their first attempts to commence mischievous .experiment within onr borders Watchman ' TlLlisJCELLANEOUS ITEMS. . .

A Tragic ArraM The Indiana Democrat f th I9ih nit. contains an account ofa tragedy in Decatur, in that State. 1 John Muldon waa anx- ious to marry a daughter of Mr N. Fetic, but her parents forbade t he union.; M uldon ' aubee quently broke into the" house, and being opposed by the young lady's mother, assailed her violent ly. Young Fetic hearing the disturbance rushed into the room, and after repeated efforta to remove Muldon from the premises without success, shot him through the breast.

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DISASTER. From the New Orleans Picayune oj December 24. From tbe officers of the Diamond, arrived yes. tcrday, we learn that on tbe night of the 18th in. stant the stea'mboat Belle Zane, Capt. Brazier, while on her way from Zanesville, Ohio, to this city, struck a anag about twelve miles below the mouth of White river, on the Mississippi, and im mediately turned bottom up. It waa about 12 o'clock when the accident occurred, and the night was bitter cold. Out ;of some ninety souls on board at the time, upwards of fifty perished by this terrible accident, some of the unfortunate victims only escaping being drowned to freeze to death after reaching the shore ! At the time of the dis aster, of course, the passengers were all asleep in their berths, and so suddenly did the boat ca reen apd go over, that such as made out to release themselves were only able to snatch a blanket or counterpane from their beds they had no time to save, much less put on their clothing. , The Diamond came along a . short time after the accident, and discovered the wreck of the Belle Zane bottom up. Tbe officers of the form er, boat picked up sixteen of the passengers of the latter, at two different points on the Arkansas side. The unfortunaies, after suffering incredibly from the cold, were finally landed at Napoleon, where the balance of those saved on the Arkansas side had previously assembled It seems that imme diately after the accident, the cabin separated from the hoi!, on which those who were saved floated. The names of those lost could not be ascertained further than that of Mr. Bowen, lady, and child, of Zanesville. There were five ladies on board, all of whom were fortunately saved ex cept Mrs.B. ? ., Stock Farm for Sale, " I HAVE for sale 5400 seres of land in Warren and Cannon counties, Tenn.
