We have placed the name of this gentleman under our editorial head as the Whig Candidate for the 'office of Governor of North Carolina for the next two years after the expiration of the term of our present able and patriotic Chief Magistrate. We intended to support the nominee of the Con Tention. whoever he might be for we knew that one - unworthy of the place would not be nominated but to the support of Chaelks Maslt we give in, not . merely with readiness, but with joy and alacrity. We have been personally acquainted with him for a number of years, and we do know that he is emi nently qualified for the position in which his friends have thus expressed their intention of placing him. Raised in the Count? of Chatham, amongst the peo plethe "bone and sinew' of the land he is of the people and icith them, in all his feelings and sympathies. A thorough-going Whig, an expert and able debater, well-versed in the Jaws of the land, and withal exceedingly familiar with the details of the Legislative and Executive business of the State for a number of years, we do not know where the Whigs ceuld find one better qualified to discharge dotjes of this high station than Charles Manly Eb of the City of Raleigh N. C Ajpis. Ji WHIG CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. At the head of our columns, this week, we - have placed the name of the Whig- noriinee for .Governor of North Carolina. Whilst we admit that our preference was centered on another, we are eonstramed to acknowledge, that a better nomination could not have been made. For many" years we have known the gentleman who is to be the standard, bearer of the Whiff party of the otate, in the coming contest. ; la 1844 when he was the candidate of his par tj for a seat in the Senate, he battled fearlessly, .and in one of the strong holrfs of Locofocoism, sod all that we have erer heard against him is. his ardent devotion to Whiff principles, and ha untiring efforts to advance them. We have often ; heard liim speak, and his speeches are always replete with sound argument and forcible reasoning. Some miffht SOniKMe. that lh failnr. nt ?Tal. a- KM ST w a aaa K al m W W ft lfax to get the nomination, woo Id produce a luke warmness in the Whitre of the Ounty, but it is a mistaken idea. The VVhi of Halifax, still en tertaining a high regard, amounting to affection.' ior meir cnampion, are determined to support - "aloosly the nominee of the Convention, and we opine that no county in the State will do her du ty more noblv than Halifax, and no man soDbort thejiominee more cordially than him whose name ue yv nigs of Halifax presented to the Convention M their choice' for Governor: .: - As for oarself, we hare do fears for the success of the Whig party, so Ions: as our standard is borne by. such a man as hint in whose hand it is AOW placed, and we feel that it is uselesa- to call upon the, Whig party of this section of the State, to rally around ihe dime or one who is endeared to them hv all the ties of political 'association j Butt Whigs ! one and all, joa cannot support a tnore worthy man than CHARLES MANLY. mmmMmmMmmmmimmtmmwmmmmmtmmmmm " " As regtrds the noniinatioa for Governor, it wil .we here but little doubt, prove, to be a judictoas one, atthougb it wsa one not anticipated by any vconsiderable "portion of the peopJe ; There are Ather genqetneo of the Stale some one of whom fH wold1jl?e preferred to Mr. Manly.

This is the answer I have already given to a multiplicity of applications and I have assigned as toe true rea son of ray conduct, the predominant desire I had of being at liberty to act trith a sole reference to justice and the public good." In his Inaugural Ad dress, he says : u On the one hand, I wss summoned by my country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and lore, from a retreat which I had cho sen with the fondest pre dilection ; and with my flattering Lopes, with an immutable decision, as the asylum of my decli ning years, un the oth er hand, the magnitude and difficulty of the trust to which the veice of my country called me, being sufficient to awaken in the wisest and most ex perienced of her citizens a distrustful scrutiny in to his qualifications eouM not but overwhelm-with despondence one, who, inheriting inferior endox- ments from nature, and un practised vt the duties of curd administration, ought to be peculiarly conscious ef las own dehcunaesP The reader will see, at a glance, the identity be tween these sentiments of General Taylor, and those professed by General Washington, when placed in a precisely similar situation, ana they indicate a kindred spirit to that of the Father ef his Country. Both of them, with that genuine modesty which be longs only to natures of the very hiehesT' order. shrink with diffidence from the burthen which it irl proposed te lay upon, them both express a belief that there are others better qualified to fulfil the duties of the office than they both evince a deter mination not to exert any active agency in procu ring their own election both decline any other me- tnod or elevation than the spontaneous vote of the country and both say that they will not be the President of a party, but of the tohole country.

It would be far more ex pressive of his actual position. We regard it as a sad misnomer to have called General Jackson-and Mr. Van Buren Presidents of the United States. and still more so, at this time, to apply the same ti tle to Mr. Polk. We have, in fact, had no Presi dent of the United States, (with the exception of Gen. Harrison) since the Administration of John Quincy Adams. They have all been Presidents of the Loco Foco party.

Mrs. Simonds, wife of Mr. Simonds, a plane-' maker, on Fourth street, died yesterday afternoon, Meredith's (dentist) office on Sixth street. We called at the Doctor's office last night to get the par ticulars of this lamentable occurrence, and believe that we gained them correctly. The lady is repre sented to have been very neaitny aaa or much ener gy of character. The chloroform waa administered to her by Dr. Mereuitn, .irora a sponge, on which had been dropped between twenty-five and thirty drops. While she was under As influence Dr. Sax ton (dentist) extracted three or four roots in a very decayed condition. ' The operation was performed in a brief space of . . , ... i?nl J rr i T-i . ume ana wna nuie aimcauy. rrevious 10 the ex traction of the last rooL the lady raised her hand as though wishing the dentist to desist, when he remarked to her it was the last one, and could be done with ease, wishing her to put down her hand. With ' this request she' complied, and placed her hand od the chair in a favorable position. A short time after this root was taken out she seemed to re vive for moment, and was then seized with violent convulsions, after the cessation of which she became gradually insensible. Every effort was made to restore her, but in vain. The vital spark had fled. . Doctors Mussey, Lawson, and several ether phy sicians of note were called in to examine the ease, and the drcumsUnces were carefully investigated. We did not learn the decision. This is the first death of this character which has occurred in our country, snd the circumstances demand investiga tion of the causes of the strictest and most careful nature.

Vieher. .There ia B Jnonl conveyed in iv told with rch vein -of bomor that is capiul. V It is from the pen of S. B LUe, of ihe Merrimac (N. II) Agricultural Society ' Tlie beneficence of the Creator is manifest in so disposing our tastes, snd so adapting these to the varieties with which we are uurrounded, us to make life a scene of enjoyment instead or a burden: It m4ght have been that necessary food would have been noisome, ss it is sometimes to the diseased stomach, hsd. it not pleased the Creator to have ordered it otherwise. . Bresd is the stafTof life, but buYier. is given to nialte it slip down easier and wjth a better relish. But it depends something on. who. makes the butter whether it answers this purpose. Butter .made in Joe Bunker's family needs to be. eaten in the dark ; then to make it ptes well, one or two. oth er senses should be laid aside while that made by his brother Jonathan may be eaten h the full blaze or noon ; you would wish that your neck was as long- agaio that you might have the pleas urable sensation of swallowing prolonged. Per haps a bit of the history of their better halves will explain the whole matter. Joe's wife was Sally Sly when a small girl she was sff she would not half wash the milk pail and sly it away and let it sour. She was sly at school and did not half get ber lessons, but would have her book in eight when reciting ; but as she grew older she learned that to get well married she must appear well, and so she bent all her cunning to get a supernciai euuea tion in eveyihing, from roasting a potatoe to play ing the piano. Poor Joe fell in love with her. and love has no eyes so he married her. But soon after she entered on housekeeping, his eye sight came, and he saw his fix that it was 'for better or for . worse ; snd he thought it was all worse. Like a truS philosopher, he concluded to endure what he could. not avoid nor cure, and got along tolerably well only when he came to her butter for bis mother was a real butter ma ker. . Every time he saw or tasted of Sally's but ter he felt the horrors. Her manner of making butter was sefinewhal as follows : she thinks it of no consequence whether the milk pail is sweet or sour sets the milk in s warm room, because it is easier than to go in tbe. cellar, snd if some dirt should blow into the pans she thinks every man must eat a peck of dirt and no place'will it slip down easier than in butter she lets the cream pots be open, and when she churns for gets the poke ; leaves the cream nearly at blood heat that it may come quick. When she takes it out of the churn she picks out the bodies of all flies and spiders the legs and wings are so small they can be swallowed. She works out half the butler milk sod eets it away in a warm place for use. Poor Joe has seen so much butter of this kind that he declares butter does not sgree with bis health, and will not taste iu. Yet his wife wonders why he does not try it snd mar vels that he does not k,eep t daily, aod make butter for market. Jonathan was a younger I rotber of Joe, and he had occasion to eat at his brother's enough to know why be could not eat butter ; snd he de clared he never would marry without knowing what his bread would bejiuttcred with. Follow, ing the bent of his fancy, he made several at tempts at matrimony, and Julia Juniper almost caught him, for there waa always good butter on the table at tea, but he was determined to know who made iu On inquiry, she says, "La me ! mother makes the butter1: I take lessons on the piano." Well,' says Jonathan, I want a wife that takes lessons on the churn I shall look fur ther.' After several unsuccessful attempts, snd just ready to despair, he started in pursuit of stray cattle, before breakfast, and wandered a cross the forest into the corner of the next town, and weary and hungry called at a decent looking house and asked for some refreshment, which was most cordially granted, for tbe family were what we called Scotch-Irish in religion Presbyterian, and in hospitality boundless. Here he found the butter exactly right though tbe weather was hou the butter kept its shape as well as beeswax. He catechised the old lady about her housewifery for the bread was as right as the butter. The old lady said her health was feeble she could do but little, snd Jenny had the whole management. He made some roundabout inquiries concerning Jenny, and learned that she was s hearty, black haired, black eyed lass, of about two and twenty; had never seen a piano nor attended a ball but knew the Assembly's catechism ; could sing Old Hundred to a charmspin flax and darn stockings, and wss then gone to town with butter. He lingered, but she was delayed, and when bis excuses for staying were exhausted, he started. He could not get the good butter out of his mind, and how it happened I know not, he soon found his way there again, and the result of his adventure was he made a wife of Jane McKean. And now one lump of bis butter is worth more than all Joe's would make in a month. There's no trouble in going to market the keepers of genteel board ing nouses in the neighboring village send and take it at the highest market price. Now the main difference in these two 'women arises from the manner of training, though there is no difference in natural dispositions. Old Madam Sly. never looked on to see that Sally done up her work right, but suffered her to sly off tier work ss she chose, and though a good housekeeper herself, was altogether too indul gent and like some other mothers, thought more of getting Sally well married than of making her fit for s wife while old Madam M'Kean was determined that Jenny should be fit for any man's wife, whether she got married or not Perhaps there is no more certain criterion by which to judge of a woman's genera I character for neatness and good house-keeping than by the quality of her butter. Find on the farmer's table, a good, solid, properly salted, well worked slice of butter, and you need not fear to eat the pancakes or hash ; but if you sen a splash of half-worked butter salt in lumps and a sparkling of hair and flies' legs, you may be sure, if ypu board there long, death will not be obliged to wait for you to fin ish ypur peck of dirt. My advice is, to young farmers, to make it a sine qua non in a wifethat she makes prime but. ter ; and the young ladies who aspire to be far mers wives had much better be imperfect in fillagree snd music than be deficient in that most important art of making bntter, which smoothes not only tbe sharp corners of crust and crackers, but will smooth asperities of the husband's tern' per. The exhibition on this occasion has been splen did and indicates that Merrimack County can show as good butter as heart can wish. There were so many good specimens as to lead the com mittee to wish for more premiums to dispose of. and ca used some difficulty In disposing if those vAdtotisiwo. The Pittsburg Day Book tells of a hrm m that city, who after settling up their accounta fof the past year, found that their loss amounted to over ten thousand dollars, and they were forced to close.; Their business was con ducted on the strictest ,f)e7 even denied themselves the benefit ofadoer- v. rI. ,' .

From the Norwich (Ct) Courier. A PIECE OF FAMILY HISTORY WITH- X OUT A parallel: . On tbe?27th day of January, 1848, and in this our goodly, thriving city of Norwich, is living sn sged gentleman, 'the progenitor of five genera tions, all now living. He was born on Sunday bis wife (was born on Sunday and his eldest child on Sunday ; and he had a child born on every day of the week, commencing with Sunday morning and ending on Saturday night. All the first born'of the five successive generations were born on Sunday all are males, and all bear the same name, and all are now living. Of these, the last liorn is the son of the fourth or fifth (we do not kriow which) child of her parents. The widest of f tbe five generations is ninety-six years of age 4he youngest is between two and three months old, so that the distance which separate's the two extremes is but little less than a century What a jivorld of history,, written and unwritten, has been enacted within the period which has thus transpired since the birtn of the great great grandsire and that of the great -great-grand son ! With the Utter we have not the pleasure of an acquaintance ; but with the former we meet al most daHy in our. walks through the streets; and there is jpne place above all others, (unless we except the house of worship on the Sabbath) where hp is sure to be found as often as Ihe va rious election days come round, and that is, at the polls. At our last town election, his was the first jvoto deposited in the ballot box; and from the; time he was made a freeman, down to the present, he has never failed to be present at the annual state election, and to give his vote to the men and the measures approved by his judg ment. Perhaps it will not strike our Democratic friends quite pleasantly, but we cannot deny our selves the pleasure of adding, that this venerable, intelligent, and most exemplary citizen is a Whig a Wh;g of the stauhebest sort, tried and true as steel. THE TRUE WIFE. : Tbe death of a true wife is beautifully drawn in the annexed portrait by Channing : 44 Her reserved and shrinking delicacy threw a veil over ber beaptiful character! She was lit tle known beyond her own home ; but there she silently spread around her that soft, pure light the intejiseness of which is never fully under stood until it is quenched. Her calm, gentle wisdom her sweet humility, her sympathy, which though tender, was too serene to disturb her clear perception, fitted her to act. instinctively, and without the consciousness of either party, on his more sanguine, ardent, mind. She was tru ly a spirit of good, diffusing a tranquilizing influ ence mildly to be thought of, and therefore more sure. The blow which took her from him left a wound which time : could not. heal.' j Had his strength been continued so that he could have gone from the house of mourning tojhe haunts of poverty, he would have escaped, for a good part of the day, the sense of his bevereavement.. But a few minutes walk in the street now sent him wearied home. There the' hovering eye which had so long brightened at his entrance was to shed its mild beam no more. There the voice that daily inquired into his labors, and like another conscience bad whispered a sweet approval, was still. There tbe sympathy which had pressed with tender hand bis aching head, and by its nur sing care had postponed the hour of exhaustion and disease, had gone. He was not, indeed, left a lone, for filial love and reverence spared no sooth ing office; but these, though felt and spoken of as most precious, could not take the place of what had been removed. This great loss produced no burst of grief. It was still, deep sorrow, the feelings of a mighty void, the .la6t burden which the spirit can cast off His attachment to life from this moment sensibly declined. In seasons of peculiar sensibility he wished to be gone. He kept near him the likeness of his departed friend, and spoke to me more than once of the solace which he had found in it. He heard her voice from another world, and the anticipation of that world, always very strong, became more vivid and touchinff." HAPPIEST DAYS.

Wednesday, March 8, 1848. THE WHIG CONVENTION AND THE "STANDARD." 'In its eagerness to find something to ssy against the recent Whig Convention, the w Standard" com mences its chapter of complaints, by declaring it "a sickly and feeble affair only twenty-eight Counties were represented," &,c If it affords that paper any happiness to rejoice over such " sickliness" and " fee bleness," we are loth to destroy this his only com fort, and will, therefore, let him enjoy the rapture which it may Occasion. But we would remind the Editor, that advertisement has been made for an as semblage of Air friends in Convention, next month ; and farther, that from present appearances, it bids fair not only to be "a sickly and feeble affair," but. a clear case of gallepingConsumption, which will end in August, in the resurrectionless death of Loco Fccoism in North Carolina. But if the idea of a nomination for Governor of the State by " trtenty-eiglit Counties," represented by considerably more than one hundred Delegates, be ridiculed as u sickly and feeble," what will the Ed itor call that of ONE County, represented by some dozen members, who, two years ago, foisted upon his party a candidate for Governor, in spite of it self? Ah ! but that was the " Democratic" party, where the few govern the many, (now-s-days ;) but the Whigs have no right to steal their thunder. If the Whigs do as we do, we will complain. Never fear, neighbor ; there is one habit your party has in North Carolina, which we do not intend to imitate J and that is, the unfailing habit of being beaten-tor .Governor 1 - After saying several funny things, the "Stand ard" proceeds to "call upon the Democratic party of the State to rouse up and make preparations for the approaching State Convention. We have infor mation in our possession which enables us to declare, with confidence, that our prospects were never better, and that our chances for carrying the State in Au gust next, are ef the best character." Come, come: that sort of bragging won't do! " Never better for carrying the State" ! Why, 'they have never been good enough, by several thousands; and if they are not a greet deal " bettes" than they hare ever been, all the " confident information" you can trump up between now and August, will.leave you considerably- within the distance pole, in the G ubernatoriai race. Why not come out and do the thing up brown, as you do sometimes ; something in thiswise: '. ; ,w . ; ,l: ." Be of good cheer, Democrats of North Carolina ; raise your drooping heads and make your throats ready to give the loudest sort of a crow,' for, from " positive information now in our possession," we can say that the rascally Whigs are completely in our power, and as sure as the dsy of Election arrives, we will give them a real Waterloo defeat - That would be playing the bxag game up to the handle, and in the real u Standard" style; and it would be just as much believed, as will be the "sick and feeble attempt" made in that paper of last Wed nesday, to create the impression that Loco Focoism has any well-grounded hopes of success in the staunch Whig State of honest old North Carolina. - NEW PERIODICAL. , ?
