' 1 Our friends are holding -neeting in different sections rf the State and appointing Delegates to the State Convention. There is great unanimity of sentiment among: them to reference to nation al politics. We believe, without a single excep tion, the meetings approve the Administration ot Mr. Fillmore, and declare him their choice for the next Presidency. We have never entertained a doubt on this point, so far as the People of North Carolina are concerned. They hare watch ed the course of the President, daring the many trials he has had to encounter, with anxiety and . m . i e i r. . I ... l: i. admiration mey nave ieu graieiui m imu iur exhibiting on a. I occasions such firm and patriotic legard for their constitutional right, and his re solute purpose to maintain the laws, regardless ot personal consequence, ha commanded the respect not only of friends, but the most bitter political opponents. His vise anrf conservative principles in connection with our Foreign policy cannot be ' too highly praised, for they are but the principles of Washington. Mr. Fillmore sacrificed his political popularity at the .North in maintenance of Uie right, and in times like these, when selfish ness and ambition are the guides of so many lrading politicians it is no small praise, to be able to say of one, with tru h, thai he has done his duty. This can be said of the President, and we do not believe that there is an act of his whole administration, which does not ex'iibit a sincere and patriotic devotion to the prosperity and honor of the Country. The principles upon which he has administered the Government are the princi ples of the Whig Parly. When the Delegates to the State Convention shall have assembled and interchanged opinions, in a spirit becoming a great Party, we cannot persuade ourselves otherwise, than that all sec tional divisions will be healed, and that wa shall present a united front to the attacks of onr oppo tienta. And what Whig is so destitute of spirit, as to hear without indignation the flat which lias gone forth from the leaders of the Loco Foco party in this State! "Tie Whigt, are down and must be kept down .'" is the battle cry.

" which they have hugged to their bosom, aud hu miliating indeed is our fall from the high position which a few years since we occupied in the esti mation of the whole Union, if we can hear un moved such expressions, and observe, without a resolute purpose to profit by them, the despicable means which are resorted to, to secure our defeat and perpetuate power in the hands of those who now hold it ! DISTRESSING CASUALTIES. ' We learn that the horses attached to the Stage, which runs between Goldsboro' and Newberu, just after its arrival at the former plco, on Mon day, took fright and ran away, upsetting the Stage, killing the Driver, James Turley, and breaking Mr. Coibert's (a contractor) leg in two places. We are also deeply pained to learn, from a me morandum on the Way Bill of the Goldsboro Stage, that one of the spans of the Portsmouth Bridge, over the Roanoke, now being erected, fell on the same day, by which several persons were seriously injured there being twelve or uf taen persons at work upon the Bridge at the time, We have heard no other of the fearful particu lars. WOOD'S PATENT SHINGLE AND STAVE CUTTER. Mr. Morton, the proprietor of this valuable in vention, is in this City, and has exhibited it and explained its operations. We take pleasure in recommending it to the farmers and lumber getters ot this State. Its mode ol construction and operation are simple and easily understood. It can be worked by hand, steam or water power, Its plan is to save labor and timber, and surely an invention aa well cajcu jated as this seems to be to secure such a result ttannot but be well received. The shinglesarecut by it with the greatest re gularity and smoothness. There h no loss of timber in getiing them, and we were told by the proprietor that it effected a saving of about two thirds of the timber. We simply mention these few of its advantages, but will allow it to speak for jUelf, as we are sure that all who may have oppor tunities to examine it cannot fail to be con riot eq of its utility and superiority. THE MURpERER.S OF MR. McNABB. An attempt was made, the week before last , to try the murderers of the Rev. Robert McNabb at Moore Superior Court, but only ten persons could be found who had not made up their mjnds or expressed an opinion. They were tried on the 25th in Montgomery County, and Alfred and John both found guilty of murder. !- ' On the 26th, at 1 o'clock, Alfred and John were brought into Court to receive tneir sentence. Af t a feeling exhortation by Judge Ellis, to pre pare .or their awful doom, they were sentenced to be hanged on Friday the 19th inst. at Troy. The "North Carolina Whig" expresses its preference for that able and conservative Whig, James W. Osbprve, Esq., of Charlotte, as the Candidate for Governor. Volume LHI. "The time is not very distant when our whole Party South will return to its old position under the Banner of Jefferson and Jackson." Standard. There is something significant in this paragraph. In the first place, it may not be regarded as im pertinent to inquire whether it is really true that the "Party South" has departed from "us old po sition V Now, we have often charged this n times past, but this same press, which now ad mits the fact thought proper, for Party ends, to deny it ! But it will puzzle the political learning of the wisest amongst "the Party" to shew how they are to rally at one and -the same point of time un der the Banner ofjboth Jefferson and?J2fckon ! First j Ur. ' JefiVeoa dented -Iront-the 'Jegin hkig, w MttjtJaili: Washington's Cabinet, the Consfa whiisf he oppose? the Cooatiiuuonality of the BankV 18l6. d'eblared iii his Veto Message that if Congress desired it, he would furnish the plan of a Bank free fiom the objections he urged against that particular institution. In that Mes sage, sent into Congress on :he 10th July 1?32, be says, "That a Bank of the United States com petent to all the duties which may be required by the Government, might be so organized as not to infringe on our own delegated powers or the re served rights of the Steles, I do hot entertain a doubt. Had the Executive been called upon to furnish such an Institution Me July vaouldhave been cheerfully performed.'' Yet the "Standard" would have it, that Jefferson and Jackson stood side by side, in reference to the Constitutional powers of Congress on this subject ! Second : Gen. Jackson was a member of the United States Senate in 1824, and voted for the Proteciive Tariff of that year. He reiterated the same principles in a letter subsequently writteti and published throughout the Country. In his Proclamation against the Nullification of South Carolina he not only declares the Protective Ta riffs of 1828 and 1832 Constitutional, but enters into a long and able argument to sustain that view. He concludes jn this emphatic language, ' If then the absurd and dangerous doctrine should be admitted, that a State may annul an uncon stitutional law, or one that is deemvd such, it will not apply in the present cose." He re-affirms the same poition in bis " Nullification Mes sage" transmitted to Congress on the 16th Janaa. ry 1833. Yet the "Standard'' i- anxious that the "who1 Party South should return to its old position un der Jackson " Did Jefferson entertain such opin ions ? If not hor can the Party go Sack toone and the same position under both? Now if a Whig were to avow the Doctrines of Jackson, in bis own language, the "Standard" would denounce biru as a "Federalist" advoca tiojbe BMcjpIes of the Elder Adams ! But he himself is willing and denious the whole Pany should go back to such "high toned Federal doc trines," as ke has ottcn denounced them to be! Third : Jefferson was and now claimed as the author and originator of the Doctrine of Nulli fication. He wrote the Kentucky Resolutions which proclaim "Nullification Jlie rightful reme dy" On the contrary, Jncksoo, both in his Procla mat ion and Nullification Message, to which we have already referred, denounced the doctrine (and secession, too, which was some short time since dear to the heart of the Editor) as uncon stitutional and treasonable! His whole cabinet sustained him. Hi Prty by a large majority ustained him. What'position" then is it to which the "Stan dard" wishes its Party to "return?' 1. To Jefferson and the unconstitutionality of any United States Bank or to Jackson anu the" Constitutionality of some Bank? 2. To Jtfferson and Anti-Protective Tariff, or Jackson and Protection? 3. To Jefferson and Nullification or Jackson and his Proclamation? Let the "Standard'' speak out. It has been flourishing with its double face in politics long enough. Our questions are plain, and no donbt the learning of the Editor will enable him to an swer. We commend the following Extract from the Speech of Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts, de livered in the House of Representatives, a short time since, to the censideration of the "Standard." It is fond of harping o the danger of "Whig Co alitions From the Boston Commonwealth, the organ of the Fteesoil party, I clip the following, which was the rallying cry lor the last campaign, in the year of our Lord le51: "In the next piace, mere must oe union snu effort, confidence and concession.

To our ree-ttoil fi lends we say, now tliat we wisn to rebuke Daniel WebUer, to sustain Charles Sum nrr. and to somn vDon the If uruive Slate law. its Jramers and apologists, the seed of reprobation, the Democrat who is furthest from ns is nearer than aiiy Whig can be. To our Democratic friends we say, now that you wish to sustain Uovernor JiautwelL to retain the Sate administration, to pre serte and to perfect the xeftirms so auspiciously commenced last winter, the Freesoiler that is fur thest from you is nearer than any Whig ao be. Let this spirit animate the allied forces, and victo ry is sure. And this, Mr Chairman, was the way they whipped uf. Oh, glorious defeat! Oh, destruc tive aud abortive triumph Need I cay that I would rather be defeated fifty limes in that way. Mr. Venable. So bad I. "So had I," said Mr. Venable, The "Stan dard," however, is willing to go into Convention with Van Buren, Sumner, BoutweM and others of like political character, and cries harmony" which means, let us "coalesce" to defeat the Wbigs 1 "They are the persons against whom we should direct our artillery!"

At an early hour the Senate galleries were crow ded to their utmost capacity. The entrance to the Senate and the ante rooms were blocked by crowds unab'e to obtain admission to the gallery. The reporters were mostly all dispossessed, their ealiery having been invaded, conquered and oceu pied by Indies attracted to the Senate by the ex-pi-etation of hearing two gentlemen say naughty things of each other. The Compromise resolution was then taken up. Mr. t'lemens resumed his defence. He said that one of the paper pi this city pronounced the Senate disgraced by the proceedings of yesterday. Who could be so unreasonable as to suppose that after fhe flourish with which' the Senator from South Carolina had announced bis purpose of at tack, that he would b- allowed to have all the law on his own side t TbfBemlor from Sooth Cr &&ft3iitf bfi2ht-berbrti:t':' ate suaiyV.of corruption, which be Tiad found m a low scurrilous paper in Alabama, and had attempted" to give it dignity ty reading it to the Senate Was he to submit to this. He had repel ed it in terms which it nnd the manner of its presentation here had de servedly branding it ns a lie, language which he never intended to recall. Mr. C then took up the several speeches made upon the Compromise both before and since its passage, and demonstrated that the charge of in consistency was not made out. He denied posi tively, ever ha vin? advocated disunion. He never contemplated it but as the horrible resort of the last extremity. On one occasion J. Q. Adams presented a pe lion to the House, praying the dissolution of the Union. A motion was made to expel him. Mr. Bolts moved to lay the motion on the table, and the Senator from South Carolina voted against laying that resoluii n on the table, thus showing Ins desire 10 expel Mr. Adams. Now he li-es here and proclaims himself a disunionist. Adams presented the petition avowing himself opposed to its prayer; foro doing the Senator desired his ex pulsion. What was Adams' crime compared o the Senator's? He alluded to the recent-contest in Alabama, and said tht no man could be elected constable in a respectable beat in that State who entertained I he sentiments of the Senat. r from South Carolina. Mr. Kheii followed, stating that he expected that.wnen he repelled the insul s of the Senator, that he would be met with reuewed insult, and he had not been disappointed. He contended that the Senator's statement that he (Rhett) had been applauded and cheered by Sumner and Chase had been falsified. He explained why be had not met the insult by an appeal to the code ol honor, by stating thai he could not be diverted from the prosecution of his great cause the recognition of Stale tights: and b-caue he was a member of the church of Christ for 20 years. He denied ever having avowed liimself a traitor. He owed no allegiance to the Uniieu Slates he owed no allegiance 10 any one but to South Caro lina. if any treason to the constitution was com mitted, it was by the contitutiooiis like the Senator. He repeated again the ma ter concerning Cle mens election to the Senate; il was no private af fair; it affected the dignity of the Senate, and, it the facts were known at the time, C. ought never to have been received into he Senate. Mr. Clemens rejoined In rtrle'rring 16 the cans es given by the Senator for not making an ap peal to the laws of honor, he said he was not aware till last night tha t he was a member of the church. How could he suppose that man a chris tain who went to bed nightly with the prayer upon his lips, Father forgive us our trespasses as we forgiv- those who trespass against us' and lie, day after day, was pieparmg. with fiend like mahgitity, lur a cold biouded murder of another man's reputation. The subject was then postponed for 'wo weeks, and the Senate adjourned. Washington, March 1, 1852. SENATE. Messrs. Fish, Douglass and others presented petitions remonstrating against the lurther exten sion of VV'oodworth's patent. Mr. Dawcon presented the joint resolutions of ihe Legislature ol Georgia, opposing any depar ture troin the present policy ol neu.rality ot the Ui ited States. Mr. Seward moved that when the Senate ad journ it adjourn to meet again on Wednesday, to enable Senators to visit the Baltic. He thought the day could not be better occupied. Mr. Dodge opposed the muliou. Mr. Gwin supported ihe motion. Mr. Brodhead said that he understood this ves sel was brought here for the purpose of exhibition; they complained that they were unable to com pete with British interests, and brought this stea mer here as an exhibition lo advance their inter ests. The iron men of Pennsylvania desired pro lectio p; the cotton manufacturers desired protec tion; tney coma not ormg tneir goods here lor exhibition. ' tvir. uwid saiu mat me iron men ana cotton in terests had had their day. They had, by open houses and entertainments, been powerful here upon the past legislation of the country. Their influence was fell here, and by it the tariff of '42 had been carried. If they had nut brought their goods here to exhibit, ihey had brought iht-ir mon ey here and had useo it in the effort. Mr. Brodhead saio that the iron men could not bring their furnaces here, and he hoped Congress would not encourage this appeal for special pro tection. Messrs, Borland, Downs, Mallory, and Jones, Of Iowa, continued the debite, in opposition to the motion, and Messrs. Seward, Bayard and Mangum supported it. And ihe motion was agreed to: Yeas 21, nays 19 HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES, Mr. Fitch, of Indiana, moved to suspend the rules lo enable him to introduce a resolution to ihe following effect : That we regard the binding efficacy of the compromises of the Constitution, and believe it to he the intention ol the people generally, and we hereby declare it to be our de termination individually, to abide by such Comoro mines and to sustain ihe laws necessary to carry out the provisiou for ibe delivery of fugitive slaves: a d that we ceprecaie all further agitation of the questions growing out of the provisions embraced in the acts of the last Congress, known as the Compromise, anu ot questions generally connec ted with the question of slavery, as unnecessary and cungprous. The yeas aud nays having been ordered, a mo tion was carried for a call of the House, which took place, when several members were excused chiefly on account of ill health.

During the war of ihe Revolution, the coast of Maine was in'ested with refugees and lories, who annoyed our coas ing vessels exceedingly, and not infrequently would come off in their oliamng Mills, as they were called, and capture the hones! and unarmed coaster, and carry her into Halifax. these shaving mills were generally laige Open boats, with fails and sweeps, and mauned bv some eight or ten armed men, who being familiar with every no"k and corner of our coast, tounu il not difficult to capture the unsuspecting coaster. In the year 1780. a sloop loaded with lime, sai ed from the Geor.e s river, bound for Boston In those days tho coaster did not often go "out side ' as at the present time, but generally kepi on shore The sloop was commanded by t apt. -, and the owner of the vessel and her cargo, (Col. W , of this town.) was on board at the time Nothing occured to impede the passage, until she had passed Cape Small Point, when on of these suspicious looking barges or shaving mills was seen coining out by the head land in Harpswell Bay, evidently in pursuit of the sloop The coas ter being in among the islands and on a lee shore, was completely hemmed in, and having only three men on board, and no arms, it was lolly to think of contending with an armed f rce of ten men, and the-ouly chahee of escape was to get out by ihe point, when they could keep her off and have the wind more free. The shaving mill came dashing on to-close pursuit, and just as the sloop weathered the point and was about putting up her helm, she was boarded aud captured by the retugees. Their Wader was one L u, a noted tory, who, after he had got possession of the sloop, offered to ransom her to Colonel W , for two hundred dollars, but the latter refused to do so, the destination of the vessel was immediately changed, and her course shaped for Hahiax. At the time of the capture of the sloop by the refugees, there was a training at New Meadows, and one Jostling, who lived on Ragged Island, having seen the wliota transaction, hastened to the settlement and related the matter to the cap tain. The company was immediately ordered to ihe right-about-face and dismissed, and some twenty or thirty heart, robust, double-fisted, native-born soldiers, volunteered to embark with their Captain in a small nsiung scnooner that lay in the bay, and if possible, re-capture the sloop l . . - m.. f and give old L- a a drubbing fhe sloop hud not been in tha possession of the refugees but a short time, wh n the eag!eeye of oid L n, with his glass, espied a small schoon er standing towards them. The sloop was pn the wind, and the sen oner was some ten .miles off, running dowp across her bows. As the two vessels neared each other, the more anxious and disturbed the refugees became. Finally Col. W was invited to take tlie g ass, and after he had swept the horizon and gazed a few moments at the schooner, he was asked what he made, her out to be. With a smile ol hope on his counte nance, he replied; "nothing bot a 5s biog smack 1852. coming out of New Meadows, with two men on hoard.' But yet old It n felt uneasy. JJeoqk a survey and could see but two men on board-.0de atthe helm and the other walking the deck. He then turned to the prisoners, and offered ihem their liberty if ihey wouU fighl in case the schooner proved to be an enemy. This they refused, and then went below. The smack, which was now very near, instantly rounded to under the sloop's qnarter, and, as if by magic, her deck was instantly 1ned with men, who fired a volley of muskets into the si. op, killing one man instantly and wounding one or two severely. With but very little resistance they boarded the sloop, and "one of the party recognizing L n, shouted "Surrender, you.old tory." Jq those days it was fashionable to wear queues, apd whi he kicked, cuffed, and thrashed tne old sinner, the captain of the "trainers," after talking to him, like a father, took him by the queue and rope eaded him se verely.

Gales & Seaton: A priest, sixty ihree years ol age, has struck at the Queen of Spain with a dagger. On the 2nd of February, forty days ben.g accomplished since the birth of the infanLi, all Madrid was dressed in g ila. Rich hangings of silk and velvet, and embroidery ol brilliant colors, decorated the streets. Ten thou sand soldiers guarded the course of !he expected procession, and the whole people, in holyday at ti.e, were waiting to welcome the first appearance of their beloved O.oeen with her new. born child going, accompanied by all that is greai and honor ed in Spdin, nd surrounded by the most splendid pageantry of the Court, to assist, according to the custom of her ancestors, at the solemn Te Deum said in the church of the A ocha for her happy delivery and ihe birth ol the heiress to the throne The Q.U' 011, having performed a preliminary act of devot.on, was coining oui of the chapel of her paUco attended by the whole Royal family, and by the Grandees and Ministers of the Crown. In the great gallery or corridor which surrounds the interior court of the pulaee many peop e had been admitted for the occasioa, and the place was lull, except the space keep open for the passage of the Royal party by a considerable body of the Halberdieis. Among this crowd was the ecoun drel f riett, Don Martin Merino, who, as the Q.ueen approached, at the very door of the chap ei, threw himself on his knees belure her as if to present some peti ion, and, unsheathing a small dagger underneath his broad priest's hat, drove it into her side before any one could see or arrest the movement. Happily for Spain, the Q,j?en was heavily dressed in robes of Estate; and, as by an instinctive move she threw her arm beUveen, the length uf the weapon was shortened bv the thickness of the arm, which was slightly wounded, w in st the lorce of the blow was partially spent by traversing a mass of gold embroidery, aud also a piece of whalebone in her corset, which was cut entirely in two. The dagger, therefore, only pene. ruled her side a little more ttun an inch, between the ower rib and the hip, cutting through mto the cuvuy ui ine aoaomen, out noi pruuucing a very dangerous wound. An inch, or perhaps a halt inch more, and Spain would have suffered the greatest political calamity that imagination can conceive lor her. The Queen uttered a cry ol pain and fell back into the aims of her attendants, one of whom was quick enough toseize ihe arm ot iheassassin before tne second hlo w could be given. The consternation was terrihie, but ihe Halberdiers pusumg right and left surrounded her Majesty, whilst sue was borne or suppo.ted to her bed chamber, where she fainted. The assassin owed his life for ihe instant to the crowd which precipitated itself upon him. Some gentleman urew their swords, but no wea pon could be used, and a herculean Halberd er seizing him by it le collar bore hi in to their guard room. He was the only tranquil man in Madrid thai afternoon. Halt an iour after, whilst tears rolied off the furrowed cheeks of Dignitaries of State, and Generals and Graudees ot the highest class, and every face in the palace wore a look of horror aud gnei, the assassin sal calmly where he had been placed, or returned the gaze ol such as were permitted to see him with a riebant and hall triumphant look. When I first saw him lie was still in the -beliel that he had killed tiie Queen, and said mat he had achieved a great good lor hu manity. If an earthquake had suddeily shaken the city to its toundauons, the effect in Madriif could not have been greater. The first itnimation uf an in terruiition in the (estivntes came lrem the move ment of lire troops, who, from being displayed in long single! rauks lor nearly two miles, suddenly wheeled into column and moved towards the pal ace, taking up military positions from that point to the Prado, where they remained the rest of the day. But (here was no occasion lor their services. The hearty loyalty of the Spaniards is a thing moet uudoubaulu and never was it manifested more clearly than on this occasion. The New York Tribune notices the prospects of ihe Baltimore Candidates for the Presidency. General Lane, it thinks, "has subsided." Gen. Wool is ho where." L. S. Dickinson is "a fol lower el General Cass." H. S. Foote '-will de cline should any one be fool enough to propose htm for that office." Woodbury and McDowell are removed by Death. Col. Allen, of Ohio, "is finished." - Gov. Marcv's chancers a slim one." I Buchanan's prospecs, not quite so forlorn, is al so a poor one Houston lias a cnance in oui one free StSte, and a poor one here. Gen. Biitler has a chance in tho final struggle, presuming ithsit Gov. Marcy shall meautuue be dropped, but his prospect is not a flattering one. Unless, then, some new element shall be foisted in the Baltimore cauldron, we anticipate that the nriin struggle will probably be between the friends of General Cass and J udge Douglass respectively Gen. Cass will co into tne Convention with a de cided plurality of the votes, but not enough to nominate him under the Two Third Rule, which has become a part of the Baltimore Plailorm. We apprehend that Gen. Cass's vote will not much increase after the first ballot, while that of the Little Giant' do so- Whether the latteY will or will not be nominated, we do not predict; but his chance seems now equal to that of any rival, though he will only have some fifty or six y votes on the first ballot.

The fear of a French invasion still prevailed, and was by no means limited to the higher classes. Tha British squadron in the laffus has been recalled by , government, and is to compose part of a fleet to cruise in the channel, consisting of fifteen ships of the line, ten frigates, and fifteen or twenty steam-frigates j In the Htpuse of Commons Lord John Russe 1 had brought forward a measure to provide for the uatiou al defence.
