Our decided con viction is. hal the best course for 'he Whig party to pursue, will be to permit our Demo cratic friends 'opres- tit us such candida'es as mav suit their conflicting views, and to sel ect from these ihe on whoie policy would best tend to preserve the Union of the Stat s, and promote ihe peace a d pros rity of the countryobjects as dear to many Democrats, ' we are presuad d, as they are to Whigs.

Th Late Murder Arrest of the Murderer. Wc are g'ad to announce that the real murderer of the lit le son of Mr Rumpf. has been discov. red,, and that he has made a lull confession. The Baltimore Sun has the following: The co'.ffss'-d murderer turns out tp be a small colored boy named Geo. Long, between 12 a d 14 years of age, belonging o and residing with Mr. William Bankard, imme diately adjoining the augh'er house where the dead body was found The circums tances attending his arrest, as far as we cou'd learn, wee as follows: ft appeahs that a colored woman named Phillips, in the em ploy of Mr John Muckelroy, was on Thurs day evening engaged in doing some work in the upper part o. Mr. M-'s residence, in a position; to see what was transpiring on the spot where the murderous deed was com menced. On that day she recollected to have seen this boy George Lo g wi h ano'herboy whom h was pulling along. She said noth ing o the circums ance. un it ihe matter of the tracks and traces of dragging was talked of, when she spoke of it. Her comtnui ica tioa yesterday afiertoan about two o'clock earn to the ears of Mr. F. Turner, who in turn tnention d it to Mr Jam?s Bankard. Mr. BmkarJ immediately went 10 his bro ther's and took ihe boy in charge, who con fessed the deed. He was then taken to the eastern police stioi, wb re we saw him and heard from him his statement. He says that on Thursday event g, he and John EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE. ' Stf Steamer America, at Boston. From WilmerSt Smith's Times, Apri! 5 The Atlantic Steamer. This fine ves sel, whose machinery, it will be remembered, got damaged on her voyage from Liverpool in January, has been removed, within the Us few days, into ihe Huskinson graving dock, where she is now dry. She has been minutely inspected by a number of scien tific persons welt versed in ship-building, all of whom report her 10 be in a most perfect and satisfactory sta e. Notwithstanding the fearlu! weather she experienced, her copper is a smooth throughout as the day it was puto ; a close examination does not dis cover even a wrinkle, much less any signs of straining, m any part of her huge but beau ifully symm tried structure. TO the unin itiated who view h r sharp, wedge-like stem, it appe .rs wonderful how with this can be combined the vast bread h thai covers youj like a shed when yu ar- under her . bottom1 amidship; whilst "her li-;es running aft are so beautifully d awn 'o her stern, as to leave the water very grac- fully. On Thursday the ship was inspected by some of those acute gen lemen, upon whose opinion the underwriters form their judge ment, and also price of insurance, and we nnderstan t that the resulf was so satisfacto ry that a laree savins will be effected in this item whe the noble vessel is again ready for sea, which, we understand, will be in June next. Cant. West is taking advantage of the machinery to erect a most spacious nd elegant di ing saloon upon deck. It is an amiable trait in the cha ac er Md'lle Jenny Lind. that after hearing of the saf ty of the ' dear ship" that had conveyed h r acrosi the At lantic, she addr-ssed a letter full of kindness and sympathy to her worthy commander, Captain West, expressing her earnest hope a d v ish that the noble vessel maybe lead y to carry h r back to Europe in the ensu ing summer. Those who take an interest in naval architecture would be we!l rewaided hy a visit 10 the. Huskinson ddok, where the Atlantic is lying ' high and dry." KERRISONS' ESTABLISHMENT SYSTEM AND CONSISTENCY. In passing through one if our largest mer cantile hoiia.s, Saturday, C. &E. L Kerri son & Co., con er King and Maik-t streets, we were much struck wi h the regularity order, and system prevailing in every de partment, which in no other place that we have ever visiied is so conspicnous. The comp ete absence of auy hing like confus on in ither of the departments, the perfect discipline which prevails, wou d do credit 10 any mili ary estab ishment, and how much morn mut it reflect upon the intricate d -tails and complicated associations of mercan tile transactions. The establishment is most extensive ; the r- tail d- partm nt; which u divided in o various portions, numbering sev eral c erks to each, over whom is placed a chief, and each ai tide as sold is immediate; ly check d and entered.

The reader will remember, that we published a short time since an extract from the correspon dence of the Soul hern Baptist, in which it was stated, that Pitt had declared her independence of the British Crown, prior t- Mecklenburg, and that we requested some friend in the county to ive us further information upon the .subject. In reply to this request, we have received a com municfltion from' a gentleman residing there, con taining a transcript of the resolves, which we publish below. From i hem it appears, that after all. Pitt must yield to Mecklenburg the honor of having moved first in the noble work, since the Declaration of he former was made n the 20th ot May, A. D. 1775. This circumstance, how ever, detracts hut slightly from the credit to which she is emit ed, sinee it is very probab e, on account of the poor facilities for intercommunication in those days, that shj had adopted her resolutions before she heard of the act of her sister county. Under any circumstances, they reflect honor upen the c uinty. and breathe the spirit oi'a high-minded, patri tic, and determined people, a spirit which we venture to ptedict sti i animates he bosoms of their descendants, and which will develope itself in action, should die future prove that their lot has been cast in hose "times ilfat try men's souls." We hope that our friend will pardon us for publishing so much of his letter as will throw light upon the subject : Greenville, April 4, 1851. My Dear Friend: I saw some time ago, an extract in your paper, taken f rom a paper publish in the Wes ern part of the SiaTe, which stated that the people of Pitt county had dec ;ired Inde nendence even anterior to the peopie of Mec en- Uur, as evidenced by records in our Register's Office The records allude 1 to are the procerdings ol the Committees or Safety " tor this county, during Revo utionary times. They are now very much worn, but are stil perfectly legible, being written in a very plain and hsndome penmanship. Several years ago I examined them, and took a copy, and often thought that I wou d stud iheiu to some paper fur pub ication. The copies that I now send, are ihe nearest approaches to a Declaration of Independence that 1 can hud. The one nf 1st July, is a part of the proceedings ol' the Committee, and is inserted as such by the Secretary, as it appears to be in his bandwriiing. with the exception ol the signatures, which are in the handwriting ol the several signers. The other apjieais never to have been a part of ihe said proceedings. 1 1 is on a separate piece of paper, and in a diS'erenltiandwri ing from the other, nd the signers, with the exception of a very few. are different persons.

We nre informed, on unquestionable authority, that a late Editorial in this paper contained errors in regard to the terms on which the above prison er was discharged. The terms were, that tire prisoner should p:iy the State one thousand doUarr, absolutely ; and he wrs, we are requested to state distinctly informed, Unit no part was ever tube remitted or returned So were his sureties in formed, and, we add. on the authority to which we have already referred, that no part ever will be returned by the consent of the present Attc-r- It has been pre- ! nv General.

Senator Butler, as we have already neticed,.' recently made a Speech, at Edgefield, In which he argued, it u true, for Disunion, but. went on to show, that in all probability, South Carolina, she were to secede alone, would be permitted o go out of the Union peaceably; and that, therefore, it wou d be dangerous to' secede just now. "He looked with alarm to the indications which are becoming pal pable, that South Carolina will be permitted to depart without molestation." Why would to seced e "peaceably" be "dangerous ?" Why ? but because the disunionists in South Carolina fear that they will, in that event, appear before the Country and the world in their true characters, as the enemies of Republican liberty and the foes of human progress. They despair of being able to drag any of the other Southern States into their toils, unless the conflict of arms should jouse the sympathies and the blood of impetuous spirits and they fear the warning examples, which His tory holds up before them, of the fate of all feeble Governments, isolated in interest and in feeling from those who have surrounded them. Perhaps, too, they apprehend, what we believe to be the Case, that there are thousands of reflecting men, in their own midst, who will not be forced into a cool aud.deliberate throwing off ot tia allegiance of ihe General Government, but who tnight, how ever, with those feelings natural to every breast, in a moment of d.inger, be impelled to stand by those, who are linked to them by common ties and associations. The "Richmond Wnig," speaking with reference to this subject Kays, "when it comes to the pinch, the good and quiet quiet no more will come forth in Charleston, as they have done in Boston, and lame the traitors and the tur bulent. There will prove to be Americans i:i Charleston. All her population arc not Knights errant of the Grand Military Order of Fanfaronade There are good burghers there ; tradesmen, me chanics, a civic yeomanry, plain, honest, sturdy and faithful, among whom the sense and loyalty that have fled from the rich, wil have taken re- fuge" by the Chivalry. North Carolina, we know, can stand these things. Erect with the conscious pride that her garments are untainted by treason, she can vcar, without having her equanimity dis. turbed, the taunts and sneers of all disloyal men. Fully appreciating and enjoying that inestimable blessing sana mens in sano corpove she can af ford to pity those who seem to be totally bereft of that reason, which is the produest attribute of man.

At the time 'hat the people of Petersburg are s-training every n rve to do their part in resuscita ing the Raleigh and Gaston Roacl. it is most unfortunate thai such ungenerous allusions as the following, whi- h appeared in a communication signed ;' Fianklin" in the Raleigh Standard, should be made to her. This writer speaku g ol the R- Sc G. Ro.d, savs : " I would suggest tha- we make acquaintance witn better neighbors ihnn Peiersburg.

Never suffer her refuse a call from North I'ar ina any more " The people of Petersburg have always been willing to acknowledge the benefits they have received from ihe North Caro ina trade, and their large outlay to accommodate ihis trade is ample proof of th ir appreciation of i s value. But "Franklin" must not forget that ihe benefit of thi - trade has not enured exclusively to Petersburg. North Carolina trades with Petersbutg because it is her in terest to do so, and if we get her trade we pay lor it ; ai d both parties are b- nefitted.

As a further evidence ofthe peacea ble disposition of our citizens and their punc tuality in business transac ions, we rmke, with much pleasure, the fo lowing statement: That at the present session of the Superior Court for this Cou ty, there were bui two cases on the Siate docket, in m ither of which the parties were convicted; and there was not a single case on the civil Docket.

The Greenville Southern Patriot says; "We know of some gentlemen of wealth and worth who are about leaving South Caroli na, on account of the continued poli icat warfare with the General Government which characterizes her. If she persists in her mad scheme of secession, her best citizens will leave her in droves, and move, as one told us a few dayi since, 'into the United States " the party, who style themselves resistance men . which according to their exposition of their views means resistance, acquiescence men oppose the Montgomery platform. For while they verv chival rously proclaim themselves for resistance, they are disposed to acquiescj in the Compromise. At the head of this latter anomalo us faction stands, as its or gan, the " Mobile Register." In opposition to both of these sympathising factions, the Union and Conserva tive men of the State, compscd of the intelligent and reflecting men of both the old Whig and Democratic parties, nre now rapidly organizing, and ore long the two parties will be marshaled and in the field. In Mobile, on Saturday week last, the largest pohti cal meeting ever held in the City met at the Alham bra. to organizeon the Union platform. It was ably and eloquently addressed, and a series of resolutions of the right stamp unanimously adopted. The "Ad vertigo.' in noticing the meeting, remarks : there was no mistaking the demonstration. The meeting was, without exception, one of the very lar gest ever held m Mobile. The spacious hall of the Alhambra was crowded in every nook and comer, ana large numoers went away unable to gain admit tance. The speakiug was of the highest order, and excuea me most entnusiastic plaudits of the vast as semblage.

"SUBMISSIONISTS." Dr. J. P. Evans, a leading Democrat of Clai borne County, Tennessee, in a letter declining to be a candidate for the Legislature, takes occasion to administer a most severe, but well merited, cas tigation on those persons who are continually making impotent kicks at the Union, and denounc ing all those who won't kick, with them as "sub missionista."

We perceived th t the Judre was laboring under some degree of c o c rcstrainst imposed by his present connexion wi'h the Federal Government. But for this, his views might have suheda majority of his hearers much better. W e are free to deel ire, as f.iithlul journ alists, that our honorable Senator indicates a tem porizing policy as the one towards which lie leans. Wc, of Edgefield, sincerely respect his opinions; but many, very many of us, were utterly unable to reconcile his brilliant cloiuenee,tvhile depicting our wrongs, and powerful demonstration while arguing the utility of hoping for any good from the ("oiivernment, with the singular conclusion he de duced therefrom. The views of Mr. Rhett, as disclosed in his re cent Speech, at Charleston , are just what may have been expected from that mad-cap traitor subject to no qualification or contingency. The "Char leston Mercury" agrees with Mr. Rhettr and give its opinions upon the question of the extreme al ternative separate Secession as follows : "We know well that in a contest of force South Carolina could be borne clown by the other States united. But they never can be united for such a purpose, and any serious attempt to-combine the power for the purpose of subjugating one, will speedily end in sundering the i onfederacv. And what the direct attempt would effect speedily, the indirect attempt, whether by blockade, by collect ing duties oft" our harbors, or by any system of harassing hostility on our borders, would effect in no longtime. The Federal Government tvill have a greater interest in keeping the peace, and ob serving scrupulously all the laws of good neigh borhood with us, than we with them. "Within ourselves, then, have we any reason to fear the results of an independent gfJoverntnent? We answer, decidedly not South Carolina is larger lhan all those Grecian States combined, which filled their own and all aftertimes with the glory of their achievements in war and peace.
