friends to
promptly.
look to this matter immediately,
THE DUTY OF THE WIIIG3.
It is well known it has become a part of the
history of the Country, that during the whole of
the excited and threatening period through which
we have recently passed, the Whig Parly of the
South icas the trce Usiok Party, and sustained
the Compromise measures against all the assaults
whieh were m.ide upon them, either by the Seces
sionists at the South or the Aboliiiou'ists at the
North. Ii is true, thai in some of the Southern
States, many who had been for years acting with
the Loco Foco Parly uniled wilh the Whigs to
put down the treasonable schemes of that second
Hartford Convention, which twice assembled at
Nashville, and to carry through: the peace mea-
sures, which had been passed by Congress; but
the great body of that Party, led on by such men
as Ithe'.t, McDonald, Davis, Yancey, Quitman,
Soule, Trousdale and others, not only denounced
the Compromise and did all tlwy coold to iuduce
the people to rise up in opposition to it, but openly
proclaimed their devotion to the doctrine of Se
cession, and used every device, which cunning
could invent, 01 daring recklessness suggest, to4n- j
duee the People of the Slave Stales 10 put that
doctrine in practical opention in other words,
to dissolve the Union and estabinh a st-parate Cun
frdermcj. The same watchwords which governed
the juovemems- of tliis Secession Party in the
States of Georgia, A!ab.ma, Florida aud Mis
sissippi were adopted here, in our S kte, and not
ooly in itie Lpgilature, but likewise in the last
Con gression.il campaign, the Conipromije mea
sures were denounced with most unexampled vio
lence, and every thing was said and dime by the
leaders of the Party, to induce the People to em
brace the treasonable doctrine of Secession, that
they might be, thus far, prepared to co-operate
with such men as Uhett and Quitman, in their
infamous and damnable schemes to break up this
Union! We shall in due time adduce the proofs.
They are on record. Tbecolumna of their Party
Organ in this place teemed with them They
shall be brought forward at the proper period, so
that the recollection of the "Knights of Secession"
may ba duly refreshed. In view of these facts,
wnat does it behoove the Whigs of the South to
do? They cannot be so blinded as to suppose,
that the danger 10 the Union is over, that the ad
vocates of Secession have given up the' conflict
and retreated from the field, never again to strike
blow lor their favorite doctrine. They may not
bo seen under arm. They have retired to the
fastnesses or everglades of political warfare, and
in secret are preparing for another bitter conflict.
They will never forgive those who united to foil
their attempts to break up the Government and
establish a Southern Confederacy, and when they
are prepared for a renewal of the fight, that eager
ness for revenge whicn now nursed in secret,
will burs; fonh with all its fury .
It is the duty of the Whig Parly o? the South
to keep up its organizationio stand together
to watch the movements of those who, bui a few
months since, were bold and unscrupulous in their
efforts, to rend asunder the Union. It is the
beighi of folly to suppose that the Whig National
Contention win nominate for the Presidency a
man who is opposed to the Compromise and who
will not planl himself upon high national grounds,
and if elected, see that the laws are faithfully exe
cuted. No man has yet been. spoken of as like
ly to get a decent support in that Convention, who
is not reliable in all respects, and we hare ample
assarance that the Convention will approve the
policy of (he present Whig Administration. Why
then, in the face of the dangers to the Country,
Which are ahead, will the Whigs of North Caro
lina permit sectional feelings to distract and
weaken them ? They owe a duty to the Country
io this crisis which they can neither neglect, nor
by divisions uisqualify themselves to perform,
without incurring the heaviest condemnation
We wpuld entreat them to think on these things,
nd prepare for the approaching campaign with
that patriotic zeal which baa characterized them
i" times past. '.
We observe that the old feud between the JJen.
'onian! and the anti's rages as fiercely as eer in
Missouri. The party ibronghout the State is
holaing rneptipgs to send delegates to a State
Convention, and the test in every case is Benton
or no Benton. It is supposed the Convention
'ill be composed vt very harmonious materials!

THE DISSENSIONS OP THE "HARMON-
IOUS."
We are not ft all surprised, under the circum
stances, that the "Standard" should cry out against
the manner in which time ia wasted and the pub
lic business neglected in Congress, during the
mania thai prevails there for President-making.
The last number of that paper, with evident bit
terness of spirit, exclaims:
; "Seriously, is it not time that the House hud
ceased to discuss general politics ! But for a dis
cussion of this character, the late fight wuld not
have u ken place ; if the proper butitiest of that
body had been under consideration, this disgrace
would have been avoided. What good result can
be accomplished, either for the country or the
Democratic party, by a continuance of these dis
cussions!" "Or the Democratic party" there's the rubl
We venture to say , without meaning; to be un
charitalla, that if these discussion in Congress
worked according to the humor of the Editor, and
o as to promote the prospects of the "Democra
tic party," any injurious effect it might otherwise
have, would be deemed a secondary consideration.
But such is not the case and the state of affairs
in the House ol Representatives is but an expo
nent of the distracted condition of the party gen
erally Trie divisions in their ranks, too, are be
coming more and more strongly marked, as the
time for holding their National Convention ap
proaches. Each of the aspirants to the nomina
tion has his host of devoted partisans, whose pre
ferences will yield Willi a very bad grace, if at all,
to the voire of the Convention Indeed, it is fair
to presume that it w ill be hazardous for that body
10 make any selection from the Candidates in the
field when ii meets. We gather a few "straws,"
in addition to those we have heretofore spread be
fore our readers :
The Petersburg South Side Democrat is out a
gain upon Cass. It says: "It is plain to everybody
that Cass cannot carry the South, and that if he
be nominated, the Democratic parly may echo the
melancholy ejaculation of Clay 'Beaten ngain
by !"
The Southern Press plainly leaves room for the.
inference, that it will not support either Gen. Cas.
Mr. Douglas, or .Mr. Buchanan for the Presiden
cy; -"uor will," 11 says, "a large body of the
Southern Democrats, and, in several Stales, an
overwhelming majority of them."
The Macon Ttlegraph,' &r influential "Demo
cratic" paper in Georgia, says: "The Southern
De mwraey. so long as they remain true to them
telxes and the best interests of their section, neter
can support General Cass. None but a cleah
pork maw can receive their support for ihe Pre
sidency." The nomination of Mr. Buchanan by the recent
Democratic State Convention of Pennsylvania
was fojlowed by a resolution of that body to ap
point the entire representation of the party in that
State to the National Convention., .This measure
secures a full delegation in favor of Mr Buchanan.
The friends of General Cass in the Convention,
thirty three in number, protested against this step,
and refused to take part Hi the further proceed
ings of the Convention. A ease of rebellion was
plainly made oui, and the protest of the secede rs
breathes a spirit of strong indignation.
No wonder tiat tbe Editor of ihe "Standard"
bewails suck a siate of things, in and oat of Con
gress. But its lamentations
''Sadder than owl songs on the midnight blast,"
are idle. The present aspect of things is but a
"circumstance," coiitraeted with the "harmony"
that will be exhititud, when Mr. Meade fulfils
the promise, made in the House of Representa
tives, a few days after the resolution approving
the Compromise was rejected in ihe Loco Foco
Congres-ion.-.l Caucus, to bring that resolution
before the: National Convention, as the proper
tribunal to pronounce upon it, for the party! The
Editor may be there ; and, if so, who shall attempt
to describe the agony that will then wring a spirit
so sensitive as to mourn so feelingly over tbe pre
sent condition of the faithful!
Who istc biame, by the way, for this neglect
of the proper business of Congress 1" The
Loco Focos have a large majority there, and can
do just as they like The Whigs have thus far
taken no part in this war of words, and we hope
that they will continue to practise the same praise
worthy forbearance leaving 10 their opponents
the sole responsibility ol delaying the legitimate
business ol Ine Government, and of converting
the Congress of the United States into a President
making caucus !
THE NEW HANOVER MEETING.
" TJie Commercial," referring to the proceed
ings of this rrveeii'-g, published in our last, rays :
"It will be recolleeied that the meeting passed
Resolutions repudiating the idea f connecting
the Governor's Election with, the Convention.
This was done, of course, under the belief thitit
would be attempted, and under the same impres
sion the following Resolution was adopted :
"Resolved, Tha' in regard to the amendments
nf the Cons iiution, the only Democratic Repub
lican mode-is by an open Convention, in which
the voice ol the whole people may be expressed.
Here is no recommendation of an open Con
vention, or of any other way of amending the
Constitution, but simply an assertion oftheDem
ocratic Republican mode or amending that instru
ment. It was a provisionary sentiment, ia case
the question, should be forced upon the public
that is, if the Constitution must be amended, this
mode is preferable 10 that adopted by the Demo
cratic parry because theirs is an electioneering
plan of amendments in detail, that will distrad
tbe public mind and disturb tbe harmony of the
community, to an indefinite period. Nothing
more can be tmpiipu than a desire to settle the
question, if forced upon us, without leaving it
open for the sport of demagogues, whose whole
action tend 1 o the promotion of party interests,
and to victimise the State for objects of pol ncal
ambition."

HOW STANDS THE MVTTER. NOW!
Our readers are aware that the question has
been raised in the Senate, as it has heretofore been
raised elsewhere, whether the States will vote in
the next Presidential election under the appor
tionment of 1840 or that of 1850. We observe
that the Senate's Committee on the Judiciary, to
which the subject fas referred, has made the fol
lowing report :
The Constitution provides that "Each Stale
shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature ;
inercoi may utreci, a nnniDeroI electors equal to

new and not under the old apportionment.
Under these circumst noes, the Committee were
ol the opinion that no further legislation on the
subjeet was necessary, and reported the following
resolution :
Resohed, That the number of electoral votes to
which each Slate shall be entitled in the election
of President and Vice President of the U. States
in 1852, shall be equl to the number of Senators
and Representatives to which each of said Stales
will be found entitled by the apportionment under
the enumeration of 1350, as-provided by tae act
"for taking the seventh and subsequent censuses,"
approved May 23, 1850.
Mr. Downs, from the said Committee, reported
the Resolution, with a recommendation that it be
adopted, with an amendment, making it a wsim-
pie," instead of a " joint'' Resolution. After
some discussion, he Report vas agreed 'to and
ihe Resoluiion passed.
In his remarks, Mr. Downs said that the Act of
1792 made the matter so clear that there could be
no doubt upon the subject the Committee were
unanimous in their opinion that the number of
Elec oral votes to which each State would be en
titled in he next Presidential election was equal
to the number of Senators and Representatives
given it under the census law of 1850. This is
the opinion of the Senate, expressed after mature
deliberation. If this opinion is adhered 10, what
will be the consequence! Wi hout again ex
pressing an opinion on this subject, ourself, whilst
the "legal prodigy" of the "Standard" is in the
land ot the living, we wou d presume to inquire
of lhal Organ of ihe Executive of North Carolina,
what are its opinions on this subject, now 1 Will
a called Session of the Legislature be nee ssary ?
Wili it no; be absolutely indispensable to remodel
the Electoral Districts of the State, before the next
Presidential election ? If th s is not done, w ill the
eleven electors who will be chosen, have the
right to east the vote of the Slate utnler the law
of 1 850? These are important inquiries, as mat
ters now stand, and we hopei-he organ of Gov.
Reid will put on its w isdom cap, and give its
views at length. We merely ask for informa
tion. EST" A correspondent oP the "Goldsboro' Pa.
triot" nominates Hehrt W. Milleh, Esq., of
this City, for Governor, and bestows a hand
some and well deserved cu! gy upon him for bis
abilities and his labors in the Whig cause.
CO- Brown and Wilcox have arranged their
li'tle affair amicably; but it is considered as but
the "beginning of the end" of an irreconcilable
quarrel between the 1 wo wings of the Democra
tic party South.
The speech of Mr. Marshall, of California'
says the -! Richmond Times," expresses the sen
timents of the Young Democracy ot the country,
and the language of ridiclue and contempt which
he applies 10 the "old fogie" branch of the same
party, illustrates in a striking manner the bitter
ness of the internecine war now raging in the bo
sora of that interesting and once harmonious fami
ly. The partizans of "Young America," and
"old fogyism," bid fair wholly to annihilate each
other before thev can be confronted with their
common enemy, the Whigs. The expedient re
sorted 10 by Mr. Marshall of catling in Whig aid
to kill off Mr. Buchanan, is certainly ominous ol
dUaster to the Democracy. The last desperate
resort of nation torn to pieces bv civil convul
sions and intestine leuds is to implore foreign m
terven.ion in the decision of their domestic quar
rels. But history teaches that this policy has ai
most invariably, been followed by the subjection
of all the discordant and belligerent factions to the
authori y of a common master. It is at best a
perilous exper ment not only with nations, but
with political parties, and so we apprehend our
friends of the i( Young America" faction will
find it.
DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY,
The mileage of Gen. Joseph Lane, the delegate
from Oregon, has been fixed at the rate of other
members of Congress, and he will receive about
$751 eaen Congress- Here is a sample of Dem
ocratic economy. The same body think ii a great
achievement to make a saving of $300 in a Bu
reau, by cutting down the salaries of a few hum
ble clerks and messengers. This is 1 be same
economical branch of the government that takes
three months to get under way with business,
while it spends twenty odd thousand dollars in
feeding K ssutb and his retiuuo at Brawn's Ho

THE YOUNG GIANTS AND OLD FOGIES.
We copy elsewhere, a sketch of the deb Me in
thd House of Representatives, respec ing the in
irigues which the Oemocraiic aspirants respective,
ly ascribe to their nv.t Is. Ml. Marshall, of Cali
fornia, has openly declared war on behalf of the
young Democracy against the ' Old Fogies "
The contest threatens to be one of a Kilkenny
character. W'e confess that all our sympathies
are- with the ''Injant Phenomena." Not that we
have any p-triicular admlraiion for their infusorial
leader, ( he"L'nt e Giant,") who seems to us very
like a diamond edition of "Matty Van," slippery,
and without principles; but we wish to fee the
Old Hunkers hauled over the coals. They have
battened long enough upon the spoils of this coun
tryand 1 hey have thrust their claws so deep into
the public treasury, that it seemed next to itupos
sible ever to break their hold. But the young
Giants appear to be the very b'hoys for ihe work.
They set about it, loo, with a hearty good wiD,
which gives earnest of success.
According sq their programme, they do not pro
pose to spare a single vestige of the past every
thing under 30 goes by the board, under the with
ering denuncia ion of an "old togie." They rid
themselves at one dash of the pen of all the old
incumbrances of ihe party. They remunerate ail
pat services by an instant and perpetual dismis-J
sal .from ooice. Cass, .Buchanan, Uousion, JJut
ler. Alarcy, Stevenson, King, are al relic of a
by gone day, which cannot be too summarily des
patched. They wipe out and begin afresh. Noth
ing but young blood can pass ihe new ordeal.
We have not seen a more rigorous, and at the
same time more convenient application, of. the
Pr 'crustean principle- The more of the " Id
fogies" that are turned adrift, ihe greater the share
of plunder for the new set. Tha "Infant Pheno
menon" from Illinois, wiih his juvenile followers,
will monopolize the imperial purple and alf the
sweets thereunto pertaining.
The only obstacle to the execution of this pa
triolic and disinterested policy, is to be found in
lhefa?t that the Juveniles are less numerous than
the adherents of the "Qld Fogies. ' These latter
be;ug forewarned, are forearmed; and they seem
determined to vdo or de." Qen. Cass, the chief
ol "pld Fogies," unexpectedly backed Dy the

The joint resolution making ax appropriation
for the extension of the Capitol was then "taken
up. It had been returned from, the House with
an amendment, increasing die appropriation fro:n
$100,000 to $500,000.
Mr, Shields said that there was not a majority
of either of three committees to which this reso
lulion might be referred at present in the city ;
he, therefore, hoped it would be now passed.
Mr. norland opposed the appropriation. Ihe
capitol was large enough at present for the ac
commodation ot Congress. He attacked the man
ner in which the work had been done, and then
made a speech to tbe democratic party, to re
sist the extravagant expenditures of the general
government.
Mr. Mangum briefly replied, contending that
the lecture upon extravagant expenditures
should be addressed to the party who had the ma
jority in Congress, and not to the Executive.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Walsh, of Md., presented the memorial of
Joshua Vansant and others, members of the Ma
ryland Institute and citizens of Baltimore, pray
ing that n new expedition may be fitted out for the
search of Sir John Franklin and the crew's of his
ships ; which was referred to the committee on
naval affairs.
Also, ihe memorial of the Board of trade of Bal
timore, praying for an appropriation for deepen
ing the channel of the Patapsco river, which was
reletred to ihe committee on commerce.
On motion of Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, a bill
was taken up, and after being read a first and sec
ond time, was referred to the committee on mili
tary affairs, having -for its object to amend the
acts providing for the settlements of the accounts
of officers serving in Mexico.
Mr. Phelps said, on a former day he had allud
ed to the cooduct of the Governor of Nw Mex
ico, and made no allusion to the contested seat of
the delegate from that Territory.
Mr. Hunter.of Alabama, submitted that it was
not in order to enter into an investigation of the
conduct of ihe Governor of New Mexico when
considering a memorial against the delegate from
that Territory holding his seat.
The Speaker overruled the objection ; and Mr.
Phelps, alter alluding to citizens of the territory
who were natives ol Missouri, of whose charac
ter he spoke favorably, went into a -consideration
of the charges preferred by t hem.
Mr. Weightman, from New Mexico, stated
that there were powerful influences being brought
10 bear against Gov. Calhoun, and referred 10 an
attack contained in the National Era. He enier.-
I tained, he said, a hign itpinion of the Governor,
who, he trusted, had pursued a course which
made the inhabitants of the newly acquired lerri.
iorv to feel mat ihe laws are to be administered
for their benefit.
After some general remark, he referred to the
charges brougnt against his holding a seat, and
contended that two Justices of the Peace were not
authorised to take testimony with reference to a
contested election, one of whom is a forger and
refugee from Alabama.
.Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, did not consider it
right that any ex parte statements should be per
mitted to prejudice the House on a subject which
must come before the committee on elections, and
upon which the House will ultimately be called
upon to exercise its judgment. He moved the
previous question ; previous to which being put,
Mr. Phelps explained the course he had pursued.
The memorial was referred to the committee
on elections.
A motion was made to adjourn, which was ne
gatived, but no quorum voted.
