Chrittuin Sun. The "Fayetteville Observer" aay9 that t he Char leston Police are making iroportanjt exposures of the gang of professional beggars men, women and children, generally Italians, Who are constant- ly seen all over the: couttryi armed with printed pipers, detailing ship-wreck, distress, widowhood, Ac "Several ot the gang have been arrested there and committed for trial. In their possession was found a large bundle of those lying docu ments printed and Written, tor use by themselves and others. And it was discovered that one of them, calling himself Laureant Carsiglieroi had on aim a letter from Wilmington, N. C.j informing his that his confederates had separated at Fayet tevi'le, and would join him in Charleston, and directed, if he left Charleston before their arrival (a drop a lioe in the Cbatleston Poat Office. This. mm, and a little boy, who went wiih him to Charleston and from whom he had separated at that place for the purpose of carrying nn business ore successfully, told all manner of tales ; but it tamed out that he left a wife and children re siding on kia farm in the parish of Romaggi, pro vince of GeJoa, Italy , awaiting his return from a profitable tour through lhe United States." The "Observer" also states that some or these people were in FayetteViIle, last week, arid were evidently very successful. The Police of that place, it says, did not think proper to arrest them ; and ss a considerable amount, which might have been so advantageously bestowed upon really de serving poor, who most feel the pincliings of poverty in this inclement season, was carried off , by the impudent foreign impostors. Weluve.no doubt that some of these same characters were engaged in the robbery, noticed above by lhe '-Sun " We hope that our Police will keep a "'sharp look-out" in the future, for these vagrant impostors.- If we are not misinformed, there are several hereabouts at present.

BE PREPARED; Wana-e said that the Whig Party of the State need not expect either liberality of justice at the hands of the Loco Foeos, in remodeling the Con gressional and Senatorial Districts; should they succeed in carrying the next Legiafoidre. They hare heretofore proved their affinity to and fyro paty with aristocratic Federalism, by suppressing the voice of the majority, and giving the political power of the State to the minority ! The act by which the Whig of North Carolina were, after the census of 1840, disfranchised, so far as their tine voice could be heard In the House of Repre sentatives, will stand on the Journal of the State, as the most damning evidence of what the leaden of the Loco Foco Party will do when they have the power ! We have .asked eur friends, in all candor, whether they are willing to trust again, such a Party with their dearest and most valuable rights! Give them the control of the will of the Legialatttre, and they will not scruple so to dis trict the State as to secure to themselves the ma jority not only of the Senate, but of the Congres sional Delegation, The leaders and wire pullers of the Party, it is rumored, have already figured out the whole process by which this can be done ! Let it be remembered, that those who shaped, and who represented the "shoe string" District, ex tending from Person County to the Tennessee line, are still in high favor with the Party, and their services can be readily secured, so to arrange the Counties, as to stifle the voice of the Whigs of the State ! We Again appeal to our friends to prepare for the approaching contest. We can effect nothing without organization. Te enable us to reconcile differences, and adopt a uniform system of organization, by which our entire strength can be brought to the polls, we must meet in Convention, and let 'it not be forgotten that to accomplish these ends that Convention should be tul.'y attended. It should be a repre aentation of the whole Whig Party of the Slate, and to make it such, our friends in each County should go to work at once, to select their Dele gates There is full time for every section of the Slate to be represented, and should any County fail to send its Delegate, and aid in the great work of organizing for the campaign, it will be estopped to complain, when lhe Convention shall have ad journed, and sent out an account of its proceed ings to the Whig people of the State. We have reason to believe that the Delegates will come together with a patriotic spirit, with a determina tion to profit by experience, and actuated by a de sire to sacrifice all sectional and personal differ ences on the altar of the Country. Ldxxfocoism is but another name for all those urns which are endangering the peace of the Country. It is the embodiment of secession at the South, and Freesolism nt the North. Ills seeking now to ill us irate its character by bringing together in close alliance and brotherhood, through the Baltimore Convention, such men as Rhcti, Quitman, Van Buren and Benton ! No man can mistake the purposes of these men if Uiey will but watch the progress of event. -Te the conservative prrit of the Republican Whig Party of the Country, led by such men as Fillmore, Websteb, Critten den, Graham and others, who, by their firmness and patriotism, have enabled us to weather the recent storm, do ue look for the preservation of the Consiiiutinn and the Union! Then let us prepare for our State Convention, and come op to it in such numbers and wuli such a resolute ana patriotic spirit, as will t-hew to our opponents, that the Whigs of North Carolina are true to the cause of the Country, and are ready once more to do battle for the Union and the rights ol each and every section oi it, against Secession or Abol;- tionism ! A SUGGESTIO.V. A friend writes us as follows: "We shall hold a meeting at our coumy Court to appoint Delegates to the Convention. I would most res pectfully suggest to our Whig brethren to take this course at ilieir meetings, vie : let the chair man have the power (or appoint a Committee for that purpose) to fill all vacancies in the Dele gation selected, which may arise from sickness or inability to attend on account of business. Sic. remember that al the last Convention, oar county was unrepresented, because no such plan as this war adopted to provide against emergencies Some ten or twelve delegates were appointed by the county meeting, who were unable to leave home when the Convention assembled, and though there were several other staunch Whigs who were ready and willing to go to the Convention, yet they would not do so, because no power had been given the Chairman to substitute them in the place of the regularly appointed delegates. Let this be provided against in future." A good idea, and we thank our Correspondent for the suggestion. A SHORT SPEECH AND TO THE POINT. When the last clause of the 2nd Section of the 4th Article of the Constitution of the United States (tbe Fugitive Slave clause,) was under consider ation, in the Convention called in this State to pass upon that instrument, that distinguished Jurist and true patriot, Judge Iredell, made the following speech : (Elliott's Debates, 4 vol 182.) "Mr. Chairman: I beg leave to explain the reason oi tins clause, in some ot the Northern States they have emancipated all their slaves. If any of our slaves go there and remain a certain time, they would by the present laws, be entitled to their freedom, so that their masters could not get them again. This would be extremely pre judicial to the inhabitants of the Southern States, and to prevent it, this clause is inserted in the Constitution. Though the word slave be not mentioned, this is the meaning of it. The northern delegates, owing to their peculiar scru ples on the subject of slavery, did not choose the word slave to be mentioned." Whig National Contehton. The Baltimore Sun says, it is supposed that the Whig members of Congress will very soon select some day in June or July for holding a National Convention. No day was fixed at the Whig Convention in Philadelphia, which nominated Gen. Taylor. Tbe place to be selected will probably cause some di versity of opinion. n III III ' II Ml ill III III AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI. t , We learn f rem a correspondent of the Natchex Conner, that two Democratic meetings were held at Jackson, on the 8th inst., one of them the usual State Convention, but they gave very little sign of harmonizing, among the leaders at least. In the "States' Rights" Convention, al; bough they gave the go-by to the question of secession, they treat ed the Union Democrats of the other body with great acrimony. Jefferson Davis was very severe uh. r.,.uu ruug u.r m.mmmn a.CT--. EV It T71 C,-l J 1? Jt . I t i .i I... upuu "r ooie, r iiimore, r ree-oois iuu r muu , concatenation which seems to have aroused the tury of Gov. Foote, who, in tbe Union Conven tion, returned these epithet upon the Secessionists with a doable Foote power of denunciation. His speech was most remarkable, however, for the open defiance with which he declared his purpose to meet the threatened course of the Senate, in regard to the vacancies in tbe United States Sen ate. The "Fire-eaters" have a majority in the Senate more than bait its members having been chosen in 1849, before the great issue which en grossed the attention othe people of the State, at the late November election, had been made and it is said that they have ceme to the unalterable determination to refuse to go into an election for Senators, attempting thus to put them over to another Legislature, twa years hence. In alluding to this plan. Gov. Foote proclaimed in convention that he was ready for the war. If the Legislature should adjourn without electing Senators, he announced that he would exercise his constitutional poster, and appoint two Union Senators to the vacant places, and if they should not electa Senator for the long term, commenc ing in J 853, be would call an extra session of the Legislature, in February, 1853, for that express purpose; and if they then refused, he would take issue with them and go before the people en that point. "I have said it," said he. "and I will not take back a single word. As true as (here is a God in heaven, if living, I will stand to what I have ut This is fair notice of a desperate struggle be tween Gen. Foote and tbe Secessionists. A good deliverance to h m ! Gov. Foote was ioagurated at Jackson on the 10th inst. His speech on the occasion refers al most wholly to the Compromise and to the posi tioo assumed by him, since the adoption of that measure. He reviews the various acts composing the adjustment, and defends them most ably and eloquently. PRESENTATION OF THE IRISH DEPU TATIONS TO PRESIDENT FILLMORE. A large deputation of Irish citizens of Baltimore, Philadelphia, &c., which proceeded to Washing, ton city, on Thursday last, to present to the Pre sident a numerously signed petition, asking his kindly offices in behalf of Smith O'Brien, Meag her, Mitchell, and their companions in exile, was received in the East R xm. After the prelimin ary introductions. Dr. Edward J. Chaisty, on tie- half of tbe delegation, eloquently addressed the President. Mr. McGee, Editor of the Boston "Celt," also presented a petition from Boston and the neigh boring towns and villages, to which over five thousand signatures were appended He alao addressed the President very el .queotly, urging him, if consistent with his duiies.io ioierpose in behalf of the exiles, but at the same lime disclaim ing any idea of their advocating lhe current pro ject of intervention. To these addresses the Presi dent made the following reply " Sir It is quite natural that natives of Ireland residing in the United States should I eel a deep sympathy and commiseration for those of their Countrymen who have been condemned to a loug imprisonment in a distant land. Indeed, all the humane and benevolent lament severe suffering wlierever it exists, and oy whatever cause occa ioned. H I have become acquainted with the memorial Which you nave presented. It n ably written, and contains suggestions which are entitled to weight wi h all jost minds, and cannot fail to awa ken in evry bosom a strong desiie for the accom plishment of its humane object. Frankness, how ever, compels me to say that the request which it contains cannot be made the ground of any offi cial proceedings; yet, any personal good otfices in aid of your wishes, so far as may be compati ble with duty and obligation, will be most cheer fully rendered. "It Ua principle well settled and which is abso lutely necesoary to all national independence, that one nation cannot claim a right to interfere with the internal concerns of another. The United States government would be the last to yield to any such claim by a foreign State ; and, therefore, from ita very origin, it has cautiously abstained from setting up or.exercising any such claim er right itself. It has never, in any instance, inter fered in such a cae as you present. "When the great Father of his Country was President of the United State, his companion in arms, Gen. Lafayette, beloved by him like a broth er, became a prisoner at Olmutz, in Austria. The President Was most earnestly and importu -nately solicited to interfere officially for his release. But this he steadily declined, although at the same time he made every private and personal effort to accomplish a purpose so dear to Jiis own heart. I shall regard the principle of this precedent, and together with those whom 1 consul on important questions, shall consider what can fee done in aid of your object, consistently wiihsuch principle. "You and your friends, sir, will probably see, on reflection, that nothing could be more likely to defeat the desired object than any interference, which might be justly deemed offensive, accord ing to the usages ot nations and the well settled principles of public law. Nor can I so far disre gard what is due to the dignity of this Govern ment as to make any application, as its head, to another Government, which such Government might treat with disrespect and be justified in so doiug by the rules of international law. You re fer to what has been cone in regard to M. Kossuth. But in his case this Government made no repre sentation or application to the Government a gainst which he had committed alleged offences, f he representation of this Government was made to Turkey, and not to Austria. 'ln regard to our own citizens, the case would be different. The paternal care which wo exer cise for the welfare of our citizens would justify such intercession for one of them. This has been done by myself, and by my predecessors, in sev eral instances. But we have never interfered be tween a Government and ita subjeots or citizens. Be assured, sir, that it would give me sincere pleasure to see the prisoners to whom your me morial refers set at liberty. Whenever that hap pens which I hope may be soon should they see fit to come to this country, they will fioo! a wllll) CAE JtlNA GAZETTE. RALEIGH, N.

THE MAILS CONGRESS. Since our last, we have been perfectly flooded with papers, from every quarter. The several deficient mails have come to hand, bringing among other items, no new more acceptable, than that a ' general Outw has taken place, at the North, which will probably enable us, for some time to come, at least, to receive oar advices much more regularly. We condense from the Washington papers, the more recent and important proceedings in Con gress: In the Senate, on the 21s'., the Chair laid before the Senate a message, from the President of the United States, enclosing copies of the correspon dence between Mr. Rives, the American Minister in France, and the State Department, relative to the recent changes of Government m that coun try. Referred, and ordered to be printed. In this correspondence, Mr. Webster directs Mr. Rives to acknowledge the new form of Gov ernment as soon as it shall have been ratified by the people of France, but expresses his regret at the overthrow of the Republican Constitution. Mr. Webster also approves of the course adopted by Mr. Rives in awaiting the action ol the people on the coup d'etat, prior to acknowledging tbe new regime. We do not know how Louis Napoleon will like the very plain spoken despatch of Mr. Rives, especially, relative to his recent high handed movement, which has thus been made public, and which the next steamer will carry back to France, and spread before the embryo Emperor. Mr. Rives's candid sentiments will be made known to the new French Government, and they cannot look upon the American minister as a "sympathL str." The Chair also laid before the Senate reports from the Secretary of War, containing the pro ceedings ef the Talcott Court Martial, and the re port of the Board of Engineers on the overflow of the Lower Mississippi. Also, a report from the Secretary of the Navy, of the marine steam tonnage of the United Slates. In tbe House ol Representa ives, the bill ex planatory of the Bounty Land act of September 28, le50, was discussed during the morning hour by Messrs. Fitch and Clark. The House, in committee of the whole, on the state of the Uuion, resumed tbe consideratioa of the bill lor the payment of the next instalment to Mexico, under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo $3,180,000. Mr. Bayly gave a history of the manner in which the former instalments have been paid, and noticed the memorial of Messrs. Duff and B. E Green in relation to this subject. He spoke in terms of these gentlemen which no honest men would -eoet. ' ' ' Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, replied, and advo cated an amendment directing the money to be paid by the Secretary of the Treasury. He did not spare (he Secretary of State in his strictures on the "insolence" of British and American ban kers, who, he said, according to rumor, wanted to amass large per coinage by an appropriation in advance ol the time of payment In the Senate, on the 22nd, the subject of flog ging ib the navy was referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs ; and, after the passage of sever al resolutions, the bill granting land to Iowa, to aid in the construction of certain railroads in that State, was deba'ed. In the Hou-e of Reprtcentative, a brief debate took place ou the resolution of Mr. Briggs, in structing the Committee of Elections to inquire into the legality of the election of Mr. Bernhisel, the delegate from Utah. The morning hour was consumed in discuss on on a motion to refer to the Committee of the Whole n the state of the Union the bill explanatory of the Bounty Land act of September 28, 1850. The remainder of the day's sitting was devo ed to the consideration of the bill providing for the payment of the Mex ican indemnity. In the Senate, on the 23rd, no other than strict ly private business was transacted, when it ad journed to the 26th. In the House, a large number of Communica tions from the Executive Department were laid before the House. The House went into Committee on the Mex ican Instalment bill, when Mr. Allen, of .Massachusetts, addressed the Committee, indulging in censures on Mr. Wee ster. Mr. Davis, of the same S ate, delended the Sec retary ot State. The House, on the 24th, resumed the consid eration of the bill appropriating 93,180,000 for the payment of the last instalment to Mexico, under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Messrs. Meade, Rantool and Houston addressed the Com mittee ; butt without the question having been taken, the House adjourned to Monday. In tbe Senate, on Monday, Mr. Hale presen ted two petitions for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law and tbe Abolition of Slavery iu the District of Columbia. Tbe resolutions presented a few days since by Mr. Clark, in favor of the doctrine of Noo Inter vention, were made the special order for Wed. nesday week. In the House, a petition was presented asking the establishment of a Branch Mint in New York. Also a petition asking modifications in the exist ing tariff. The discussion of the Mexican indemnity bill was then resumed. In the Senate, on the27lh, a petition was pre sented from Vanderbilt Carey, of 'o Francisco, California, proposing to carry the U. S. Mails cross tbe Isthmus for 1250.000 per month. In the House, the discussion f the resolution, giving tbe Census printing to Editors, was resumed. PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.

The British Ri val Mail steamship, Jlmazon, from Southampton, for the YVest ladies, took fire on the 4th instant, when west of Sicily, and was entirely consumed. Her officers, passengers, and crew numbered one hundred and fifty five persons, of whom only tWenty-one were saved. All the rest perished ! We have in the New York papers some parti culars of (his dreadf ul calamity, as follows : Just before the departure of the Arctic from Liverpool, a telegraphic despatch was received from Southampton, communicating intelligence oftne total loss by fire of the Royal West India Mail Company's steamer Amazon, with all on board, except nineteen of the crew and two pas sengers, oat of a toial of one hundred and nftv five persona. Besides a majority of the ship's company, probably not less than seventy-five passengers perished! 1 his is one of the most de plorable calamities that has ever happened in the history of ocean steam navigation. The foun dering of the President, with all on board, is the only case we recollect, equally distressing, and even then the number of passengers waa not so large. The Amazon was a fine new steamer recently put a the line. The following notice was recei ved by Messrs. E. K. Collins &. Co. "R. M. S packet "Amazon Southampton to the West Indies, took tire at about 1 A. M. on Sunday, sixty miles East of Scilley, and was en tirely consumed, with the mates, officers, crew, and passengers, except twenty-one persons, viz :, Mr. Vincent, a midshipman, seventeen of the crew, and i wo passengers, whosucceededin getting ff in one of the boats, and were picked up after being by her twelve hours. The total number of persons on board is said to have been one hun dred and fifty-five. Tbe fire is supposed to have originated from spontaneous combustion." The Am.iEon was on her firs', voyage, being the pioneer steamer of the new line recently projected between Southampton and the Isthmus of Pana ma, intended to -convey the English mails from p rt to port, ana also to touch at the Island of St, Thomas on her trips. She was built in a most superb manner, with capacious accommodations, and machinery designed to enable her to make the voyage in eighteen days, instead of consuming twenty-five days, the ordinary running time of the old English mail steamers now on that line. She went 'to sea on the 2d of January, amid the cheers ot thousands who had assembled to wit ness her departure, and who little expected the fatal catastrophe which was so soon to follow. The mass of coal, 1,133 tons, which she carred, took fire, it is said, from spontaneous combustion. She had on board -20,300 sterling in specie, and 500 bottles of quicksilver, valued at .5,150. Egr The Editor of the "Standard" is very anx ious to know whether it is likely Gen. Scott will be the Whig Candidate for the Presidency. Is the Editor longing for "a hasty plate of soup Does the recollection of the exhilarating effects from the " hard cider" he drank in 1840, oc casionally come over him! By tbe way, has the Editor seen the gallant reply of Gen. Scott to the "hero of the broken sword, when Kos suth was introduced to him? Cass. "Well, General I are yon prepared to lead the American Army forward for the inde pendence of Hungary V Scott "Sir, lam ready to lead the American Army wherever the American Congress may direct met" The Senate of Alabama has passe J a re solution approving of the votes of their Senators in Congress, Hon. William R. King and Jere miah Clemens, on the passage of the Compromise measures ; with a further declaration that these measures are to be regarded as a "final settle ment,' and that the nou slaveholding States are bound in duty and good faith to adhere to the same, and to cease the further agitation of tbe subject ot slavery. TURKEY PROTESTING AGAINST KOS SUTH'S RETURN TO ENGLAND. Boston, January 27th. The London News received by tbe America, contains a copy of a statement taken from a Ham burg paper, and believed to be authentic, to the effect that the Sublime Porte had addressed a note to the English government, protesting against the return of Kossuth to England. The ground ta ken is. that Kossuth was liberated on the condi tion of residing permanently in tbe United States, and that the re-establishment of friendly relations between Austria and Turkey depends upon the observance of this engagement There will be five Sabbaths in the Month of February this year. The same will not occur gain until 1880. Number 17. LATER FROM EUROPE, " New Yok; January 25. The America arrived at her wharf at midtiight Saturday night. FRANCE. France still remained tranquil.

Mr. John Van Buren, Forrest's connsel. asked time to consider whether lie would apply for a new trial, or file a bill of exceptions. He will decide to morrow. ITJ" " low," the well-known Washington cor respondent of the "Baltimore Sun,'1 in a recent letter, says : "It is now certain that Mr. Clay, so far from preferring Gen. Cass for the Presidency, as has been given to understand, is using his influence to put Mr. Fillmore on the track. Mr. Clay, if I mistake not, prefers Mr. Fillmore to both Mr. Webxter and General Scott, and; of course, much to Mr. Crittenden. fjt We commend the subjoined epigram from the Boston Post, to the attention of all those whom it may concern. "Though you, my friend, may boast a gifted mind, A soul of honor, and a taste r nned, These Lifter times, we seek for something more, The first of virtues is to shut the door !" iOlv Al the resMence of Col.

PUBLIC attention is invited to a new improve ment in manufscturing iron Railings, Grating &c, made from Iron rods and Wrought iron, designated Wire Ratlins. It is the most bkautifui isclosuss for publie or private grounds, farms, cemeteries, balconies, ver andahs, arbors, etc. etc. Window Guards aud Grating. For stores, dwelliugs, lunstic asylums, prisons. steamships dec. Iron Bedsteads, with wire sackings, tree guards, coal and ore screens, and a variety of articles toe numerous to mention, which this inven tion is susceptible of, possessing conveniences never before known, resulting from the improvement for whioh this article was patented. For elegance, combined with strength, for the beanty of ita innu merable variety of designs, and especially for chssp- ness, (at oue naif less than east-iron,) n is altoge ther unrivalled by any thing as yet offered to the pnblie. The plan of crossing tbe rods is so contriv ed that each binds lhe other, and thus a mutual support is given to each individual part of the whole structure. I t is believed that fabrics formed of the the largest wire, and manufactured in this manner, will endure at least five times the violence that a Cast Iron Railing in ordinary use is capable of withstanding. Prices vary from -SO teats to 02 per lineal foot. The subscriber also manufactures WIRE FENCES, for enclosing farms, railroad, parks, lawns, et&, gjarantced to resist cattle, horses, sheep, etc. which are becoming extensively used, and greatly distin guished by lightness ef appearance and elegance of form. Being imperceptible at a short distance, the view is thus uninterrupted, the prospect uninjured, snd the beauty of landscape unimpaired. The fence is made on an entirely new plait, being portable, yet secure. Tbe whole may be taken down and transported with the same facility as ordinary iron rods. Price from $1.50 to $3 per rod, including Iron Pots, from 12 to 16 feet apart. Inquiries or orders addiessed to the Proprietor, will meet with prompt attention. JOHN B.
