M . rcinri- ior uanng io ves ngainst Col. R we observe .that Mr. Foreman, of Georgia, intro duced the following Resolution : " And be ,it further Resolved That this Conven tion repudinte the Wilmot Proviso. . Mr. Edwards, of New Hninpshire, (says the re port of the " Sun,") warned the gentleman against pressing this Resolution". -" Mr. Foreman at the request of several gentlemen," withdrew hit Resolution, disclaiming that bid object and intention was to have an expression of opinion against the Wilmot Proviso. Here, then, was a bold dash proposed at Wilmot Provisoism, made doubtless in all sincerity and hon esty by Mr. Foreman, who had perhaps been green enough to be gulled by the organs of his party at the South, that the Northern Democracy was sound on that question. .But mar kf the result, and the ul timate fate of this Resolution no sooner had it been read, than a Delegate from the Granite Demo cracy of New Hampshire named him not to intro duce that question and forthwith a crowd sur rounds the Georgia Delegate, (one of whom may have been the Editor of the "Standard," or some o tber of the North Carolina Delegation,) and he is not only forced to withdraw his Resolution ! but actually' disclaims any desire to have an expression "against the Proviso" !!!" r Now what will the Slaveholders of North Caroli na say to this the Editor of the "Standard," and the other Delegates from the honest old North State, not only truckle to the Abolitionists and Wilmot Provisoists, but absolutely declare that they don't want to have an expression of the Democratic Na tional Convention agaixst the Wilmot Proviso!! Facts are stubborn thiVand we charge that the representatives of Nortnuarolina, in that Conven tion, have made themselves the subservients and servile instruments of virtually acknowledging the correctness of the odious Wilmot, anti-slavery Pro viso ! If such was not the case, why did not some of them, (the Editor of the " Standard'.', for instance) rise in his place and insist that the South did desire an expression against this odious and abominable measure ? The people had a right to expect such a course from him, after his repeated declarations that the whole Democratic party, North and South, were opposed to it. .But let us see what sort of a Resolution they did adopt, upon this subject, Here it is: " 7. That Congress has no power under the Con stitutiou to interfere with or control the domestic institutions of the several States, and that such States are the sole and proper judges of everything apper taining to their owu affnirs, not- prohibited by the constitution ; tbat all efforts of the abolitionists or others made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of shivery, or to take incipient steps in re lation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most a- larming and dangerous consequences; and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish tue happiness of the people, and endanger the 'sta bility and permanency of the U nion, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political in stitutions? This Resolution is one of the old Baltimore sche dule, adopted by the Loco Foco Convention in 1844 ; and its insufficiency to meet the issues that have Ueen raised by the Wilmot Proviso, which has been produced and agitated since the Convention of 1844, is clearly expressed by Mr Yancey-," of Alabama, in his speech in the late Convention, which we publish in this, paper. It is rightly urged that the Resolu tion does not even deny the principle of the Wilmot Prorwtf,but only declares that Congress has no pow er to interfere with Slavery in the States. The right of the Federal Government to exclude slavery from the Territories, is not questioned; neither is that of the People of the Territories themselves, in or der that the present issue might be met, Mr. Yancey introduced the following: " Resolved, That the doctrine tf non-interference with the rights ot property of any portion of the people of this confederation, be it in the State or in the I emtones, by any other than the parties in terested ifrthem, is the true republican doctrine re- ? i i i i i .i cuguizeu oy mis Doay." Well, gentle reader, citizen slave holder of North Carolina, how think you the Delegates from your State voted on this Southern Resolution? Why, they joined in with the Abolitionists and Wilmot Pro visoists, and voted NAY! " Yes, voted against de claring that "the doctrine of non-interference with the rights of property of any portion of the people of this confederation, be it in the States or in the Territories, than by any other than the par ties interested in them, is the true republican doc- say tneir souis were their own they were atraid to He looked out of the window and thanked his friends act like freemen jealous of their rights,or f-iar the for tle honor conferred by the call But the vener Norttern Abolition-rvin? of the party would be down ablf editor of the Union wh a l.intern in his hand, ' - ,t .

We leave it to every one, then, if it is not shad owed forth as clear as mud, that the "Standard" is correct in its prediction that Col. Benton will give his " cordial suppor to Cass and Builer." Our neighbor, if he can take courage from this speech, is, indeed, u thankful for small favors." P. S. Since the above was in type, we observe that Mr. Ritchie denies that Col.

J. W. NORWOOD, Sec'y. Hillfthornogh, June 8, 1848. 46 3t i LEWIS CASS A FEDERALIST. The last " Standard" contains the following re marks: " The Register of May 31st denounces General Cass as "a notorious old black cockade Federalist," and charges that he is a Wilmot Provisoist. . Will that paper be pleased to prove what it says about black cockade eueralism ? It savs. "it is Itnown aud easy established fact" and If does not that paper shorn the fact " Well, neighbor, that is not hard to do. We be lieve, however, the Standard" knows the fact we are about to give, as well as any body else, but for fear some others may not, we give our authority for what we stated about Gen. Cass' black cockade Fed eralism. lb "Niles' Register," of September 13th, 1834, vol. 47, page i8, is the following paragraph : " The fact is, that while his. father, Major Cass, su perintended the Recruiting Service in. Delaware, in 1799-1800, for what ice Democrats styled the Provis ion-Eating Army, he, the present Gin. Cassavas the Preceptor of a Grammar School ui WUtungton. (Del aware) and'tdways appeared with a BLACK COCK- ADj in his hat ! ! Can the "Standard" disprove this "easily estab lished fact" ? But not only wnsGen. Cass an old Federalist, but the "Philadelphia News" brings in to notice the significant fact, that every prominent candidate before the late Baltimore Convention was a "Federalist. It says: James Buchanan. This gentlemana U xyery, wen Known, once declared tbat if be thought he had a drop of Democratic blood, in his veins he would opeu his veins and let it out. On the 4th day of J u ly, 1815, he made, upon Mr. Madison and the war, the bitterest attack ever directed against toot illus trious Statesman, by the tongue of malice aud ha tred, He denounced him as the tool of Bonaparte, the "degenerate successor of Washington, the man who had hurried us without cause into war, aud precipitately extricated us from it, at the expense of our National honor" He abused the whole Repub lican party, and their measures but wis particular ly severe on the war. He was a Missouri Restrio tionist, and gave into all the heresies so deprecrated by politicians of the Southern School. He received 55 votes in the Baltimore Convention. Levi Woodrjjky. He .denouueed the late war as " unwise and unpatriotic." He always associated politically, with Federalists of the Black Cockade stamp: aud though (we believe) not a member of the Hartford Convention himself, he approved of all its proceedings. He received 53 votes. t From, the above, it will be seen, that there are surprising points of resemblance between the old Federalists and the modern Democrats. Gen. CasS was. a '98 man, it is true ; exactly such an one as John Adams was. - MR. POLK. During the fourth day's sitting of the Locofoco Convention, Dr. Ramsay, a Delegate from Tennes see, presented a letter from Mr. Polk, requesting him to inform the Convention that he did not desire .a re-nomination. This letter, was received with loud applause! We suppose -the party felt delighted to get rid of Mr. Pox.ic This supposition was strength ened by what occurred when the letter was present ed, which is thus reported : Mr. Ramsay of Tennessee said I have a letter rom President Polk. A Voice What business has President Polk to do with this Convention? (Hisses. and confusion.) A Voice 1 object, sir. The Chair Who objects;? What State is that?
