Why should the wishes the most earnest wish

THE HEAD OF A MAN, AND THE TAIL
OF A FISH."
It is quite amusing to see with wh it ixlo the
self styled "Democracy" of some ol the Coun'ies
in this State flourish over their favorite ticket for
the Presidency ! "Buchanan and Strange'' arr-
ttie go in the L- co Foco ranks, bo far as Nor h
Carolina is concerned ! Beginning with a gen
uine, old fashioned, "blue light" Federalist,
chock full of hinh protective tariff propensities,
and 1;i pcrinr off with a Nashville Convention,
antu-ariff, "fire eating" Secessionist I
But it seems the Virginia Locos could not go
such an old Federalist as Buchanan ! They had
full warning of his past propensities and predi
lections, and though most desperate efforts were
made in their late Convention to have him re
cop-nized as one of the real "'simon pure" ot De
mocracy, his pretensions were nevertheless, pass
ed by with "masterly inacivity," Done so bold as
to do him reverence!
We are indeed gratified to see Lncofoism once
consistent It has a hankering now for its "frsi
love.'1 It is eager to get back under it old and
appropriate banner ol" "Federalism," and to be
led 011 by those wiio denounced the leaders of the
Rreat Republican Party of 1812 no ona ol
linm was more zealous and expert at such a vo
cation ilian Mr. Bucuaxar, in whose veins there

Mood, if Ins devout wish, so often expressed, has

WHIG APATHY IN NORTH CAROLINA.
We haTe received the following Communica
tion from a friend, with reference to the supposed
indifference of ihe Whigs of this State to the im
portance of the approaching National and Sia'e
campaign. Thai there are, unfortunately, ques
tions of local differences, operating to the partial
embarrassnKntof Whig energy id the State, we
admit; but that these differences will be allowed
to distract and defeat us, we cannot acknowledge
scarce fear. As a party, we have fresh in our
recollection the result of similar differences and
apathy, which placed in the Gubernatorial chair
of the State the present incumbent ; and, with the
bitter fruits of our lethargy in that campaign be
forethem, .North Carolina Whigs need no oilier
srirnulaut to that enthusiasm and uni ed action,
which have always secured a triumph over their
opponents. ; Whatever differences may now exist
as to ihe policy of the issues to be involved in the
conU-st, we confidently look for their adjustment
by the Convention soon to assemble; and believe
lhat, with the issues then presented, will go forth
lhat unconquerable spirit v Inch has never failed
to secure the victory, and which earned for the
Whigs of the "Old North SLite," the praise of
being " the most reliable and orthodox in ihe
Union." '
Firmly relying upon the judicious selections to
be made by the National t Convention, and their
success with the people, should our favorite can
didates receive the nomination, the Whis of our
State would enter the contest doubly, thrice arm
ed : with devotion to their cherished principles
gratitude to the man who has stood by I hem in
the darkest period of our Country's history, cim
lelling the tribute of praise from even bitter polit
ical opponents and pride, Stale pude in award
ing 10 a cherished son the second position in the
Nation's gift. Our Iricnd need not fear that they
will allow their candidate to be defeated ; lut, as
to the emphatic avowal that Gov. Reid must be
defeated, we give him our hand and pledge, as
parties to the compact, every true Whig in North
Carolina. With him, too, we say, "Circulate
Whig papers .'" and it shall be done .
Mr. Gales It i with profound sorrow I notice
the lethxrsy of the Whig party of North Caro
lina. Tins fact is truly lamentable, when I con
sider the importance of action in all its bearings.
The Whigs of North Carolina, with a great many
others ot Hie Union, Uave recommended Wm. A.
Graham as their first choice for the next Vice
Presidency. Suppose the same indifference char
acterises their course when the campaign opens?
the consequence will be total defeal of ihe party;
and however bright may be the prospect of the
Whie party in the Union, if the Whigs of North
Carolina thus throw cold water upon them, they
can never survive the chill it will produce. and
at their door will lie the defeat of ih ii candidate, I
Ym. A. braham, and the crushed hopes of the
whole Whig party of the Union. Again, the
Stale is to be re-districted, not only in reference
to our Congressional, but Senatorial representa
tion, and a great many other things ofS iial imnor
lance to the party. And that prince ot demagogues,
Dacul S' livid, must be defeated, or the charac
ter ot the once proud old S'ate is gone. How is
all this to be accomplished 1 I answer, bv circu
lating light and truth among the people. Let
every Whig in the Slate, or even one fourth of
them, commence immediately getting campaign
subscribers to the different good Whig papers of
tne State make up clubs and get tuem at re
duced prices. Won't you furnish tle"Reis'er"
to clubs during the campaign at reduced prices,
so that every voter can be furnished with a
paper upon which he can n ly for inlormaiion ?

COM. STOCKTON'S WEBSTER SPEECH.
The recent speech of Com. Stockton, upon the
occasion of the reception of Mr. Webster by the
Legislature of New Jersey, has been the cause
of new uneasiness in the harmonious ranks of the
Democracy, and has occasioned fresh fiutterings
in the Presidential hoit. Having the support of
that portion of ihe Democracy, who desire a
candidate for the President) , neither tinctured
with the blustering vagaries of the " Young Dem
ocracy," nor the still more odious charge of "Old
Fogyism," the Commodore's exalted praise of Mr.
Webster is anything but palatable to the mass of
his party. The following is an extract :
" Whenever 1 con ernplate Mr Webster, my
heart goes up in devout aspira ions to heaven
that it has endowed one of our species with such
virtue and intellect. It is not simply for his man ly
form, thai noble brow which seems placed there
as a crown by the Almighty ; but the virtue of
the man. 1 have known hi 111 for thirty years ; I
have seen him silting among the wise aud good
in the councils of the nation ; I have sat as a boy
and heard the words of wisdom falling from those
lips, which I deemed inspired. Aud I say it be
fore this assembly and before the world, that if
there is a patriotic heart in any man that heart is
the body of Daniel Webster 1 have heard
lurnish litem with a cheap campaign paper!
Where are all Hie Whig papers of the State?
Have they all a plenty of money, and need no
more subscribers? Then send them free of
charge. Circulate Whig Papen Circulate
Whig Papers, and begin now.
CHATHAM.
March 30. 1852.
,tTJ" It was the custom of the old Wilmington
Clironicle to post up, at the end of each year, the
list of arrivals and clearances for that time-honored
port. We generally saw the annual statement
about the middle of March. Wilt not our friends
of the Herald, Journal, and Commercial keep up
the custom, and let the world know what our pet
sea-port is doing? We know she has increased
in entries, and wc wish to know the number, c!as
and nation of vessels coming into her h irbor, and
also the number of clearances for the same time.
State pride demands a showing ; and certainly
we cannot fall behind the Virginia ports.
111
hmi at various times discourse of public affairs in
private, and I have never heard a word ha might
be construed against his country or her interests,
or lhat should not emanate from a great and pure
man."
In the expression of his tariff views, the Com
modore is anything but mealy mouthed in assert
ing his ideas of good Democratic doctrine, and his
determination to stand by the policy of piotection
and the develr-pmeiil of the resources of the Slate;
" Her immense resources are inexhaustible.
Her Jiiils, filled with Iron and copper, are lying
dead, and they have been dragging ihe money
out of your pockets in consequence of an eternal
ly fluctuating revenue system. 1 shall no' be a
beggar at their doors. I shall not be mealy mouth
ed in telling them what we waul. I shall insist
that is good democratic doctrine, at least now
a days 1 shall insist upon dragging the iron out
of our mountains and transporting it to the sea
coast. I am aware that I am about to (read up
on dclhate ground, and I hope that no one will
lake ffence, for I mean none. I do it ore the
principle thai the operat ons of the general gove n
ment shall contribute t the development of your
resources as '.hey have done for othjer Siaies. 1
intend to gel this of iron as well of glass included
in a tariff tystem, if thev will pass The ques
tion ol a protective tariff was alwayk a deruocra:
ic measure in New Jersey. j
" VViiii an annual expenditure of SoO.OOftOOO
scaring us in the face, U there anything more
ridiculous than to talk about the vagms of free
trade ? To raise this amount it woulJ require
33) per cent on all our imports, and when we all
know that this sum has been raised it is folly to
talk about free trade.
' "My politics don't hang very he,rvy on my
shoulders, and when the interests of my country
Rre at stake 1 can very easi y get rid of tuem.
1 have passed the grand climacteric of life, and can
at the best have but lew years to live, and I live
but in my children. Il l were 10 consult my own
leelinga only, and wanted 10 have a good limo, I
in the confusion to get into ue tbfte nUftMi
than I am now."
The most unique feature, however, is his ear
ly political position, as defined by himself, and
his unshrinking praise, and avowal of the princi
pies, of the early Federalists Washington, Ham
ilton, and their compeers so much contemnned
by tbe Democracy of modern times :
" I hese may seem queer sentiments coming
from me, il I did not belong 'o theoung and pro
gressive school. 1 was brought up at the feet ol
Gamaliel I was brought up in the straitesi sects
ol Federalism. My father was a Federalists,!
was one. He was the compeer of Washington
and of Hamilton and other great men of those
times. He loved them when they lived and lov.
ed their memory when dead, and it was his reli
gion to follow in Ihe footsteps of Washington,
wherever they led. If I had lived in those days I
should have done as (hey did. A purer hand of
patriot and more honest men never lived. Pe
rennial flowers shall ever idossoin en their grave.
Thos-e are the men whdsi principles are my prin
ciples.''
RESOLVES OF THE VIRGINIA DEMO
CRACY. The Richmond papers of Saturday put us in
possession of the Resolutions adopted last week
at the State Convention of 'he Democracy of Vir
ginia, to which we give a place beldw. One fact
10 which the Richmond Times invites special at
jentien it, 'ha' in this new platform no mention
is to. be found of the "Compromise." That greal
tueasare, it gay. "is ignored by the Democracy
of Virginia, "They re affirm ihe resolutions of
'93 and "99, and proclaim anew the unmeaning
generalities' of the Baltimore platform, but ihey
have not a salable to say in regard to the great
practical and living issue involved in the maintain
ance of the slavery adjustment. They do not
even condescend to declare that iney are wiling
to acquiesce in that adjustment, bui preserve a
profound and ominous silence upon the whole
subject. The omission is 1 most significant and
remarkable one, when we consider that the Com
promise has been claimed as a Democratic mea
sure, and that the Democracy have been held up
as its truest and most faithful champion."
It is a curious thing to obverve how the Cen
tral Organ of the Democracy One".-." Union ')
smooths over this evasion by the Democratic lea-r
ders of Virginia of the crea questions of Seces
sion, Southern Confederacy, and all the heresies
in their train, as follow! :
" JVb allusion too made to tkt legislation of the
lilt Congress disposing tflhr territorial and tlace
ry question 11 being doubt ess cousid-red by the
t ouveniion thai no issue is now pending which
cat put in d .ttbl the attitude uf Virginia on those
questions. It has been long since settled that
Virginia did not participate in any of the mture
menis which were d signaled to organize opposi
tion 10 the measures of compromise, 1 h us setting
an example winch had a happy mflueuce on the
other members of the Union."
Il the 'Union had always thought and spoken
thiii lightly of "the Compromise" measures, there
y,ould be more color for its lame apology for the
sini of omission of the Virginia Convention. But
we have the direct testimony of the Un.on' itself
that the omission, which il now justifies as of lit
tie or no consequence, is materia!. For in Ihe
Union ol March Ibth.ihe reader who clioses to
turn to it will find ihe following :
"IFIiigtof Indiana. Another Sign! The
Whig S ale Couvention oi Indiana, held at In

Ii will puzzle ihe"Union" to give a reason why

Democratic one.

A WARNING VOICE FROM CALIFORNIA.

Little, if anything of interest, has transpired in
either branch of our National Legislature since our

The "S. Louis Intelligencer" says in noticing
the Great Webster meeting in that city:
We are ful'y justified, we believe, in saying
that Mr. Fillmore's nomination is most ardently
desired by the whole body of the Whig party
throughout the Soutli and West. The sentiment
of the Whigs of Missouri may be gathered from
the condensed, proceeding of tbe various Whig
countv mee ingsthus far held in the State, which
we gave a few days since; in which it will be
found lhat out of twenty one meeti. gs, sixteen have
explicitly expressed a wish for his nomination. A
similar state ot feeling exists elsewhere.
In expressing thus plainly (not for the first
lime) our own views, we recognize at the same time
to the fullest extent, the importance ot muled and
harmoni us action on the part ot the Whig party.
It is not that we honor Mr. Webster less, that we

close of a very able defence of the Admin stra

'Our treaty wiili Mexico embraces the same
provisions ino rporated in our treaty with Spain.
When San Antonio was taken by the Mexicans

many citizens of the United Stales, were put to

days alier, Col. fcanmn surrendered witn 250 men,

The ''Richmond Republican" thus replies to the
N. Y. Tribune in behalf ot Mr. Fillmore:
"The Tribune admits that ihe South can obtain
the nomination ot Mr. Fillnore. If she cm, then
she ought to do it, unless she is recreant to
her own generous charac er.and blind to her own
true policy. The Northern man who dares to face
Northern prejudices, nd who holds last to the
nelm or trie Constitution in me iace 01 iireu -j
storm of fanaticism as assailed Mr. Fillmore, de'
serves a betier fate than to be cast overboard as
soon ns the skies have become clear and the waters
smooth. If tbe South is 10 sacrifice her "champ
ions" at the bidding of her enemies, how can she
expect that any Nothern man will hereafter dare
to maintain her constitutional rights? Bear it in
mind, that, according to the concession of the
great free soil and abolition organ, Mr. Fillmore
ran obtain ihe nominal ion. Il will be the fault, the
fear, ihe ingratitude of the South, if he does not
obtain it.

We copy from the Bnston Journal ;he subjoin
ed extracts from a private le ter, written by a bro
thr in California, in reply to a letter asking his
Hdvice as to he propriety of another brother's go
ing out to the gold negions. It was not designed
for publication, andthe Journal says that its state
ments may be relied upon. It is dated at Bear
River on the 27th of January.
'The principal object of your letter was to ask
my ad viae about brother A.'s coming to California.
Now, 1 beseech you, do not think of such a thing
lor a moment. I will tell you why. In the firs
place A. is a married man, and has a lam ly of
children to watch over and take care of; and what
could he do for them here? Another reason is. if
A comes out here it will cost him nearly $100,
and he will be landed without a dime in a land
where everv thing is ten times as costly as at
home, with the only Exception of labor, which at
the present time is below par. I will give yon a
r.. farts which vou can reiv upon as truth. The
last tnn ud of the Golden Gate she had on board
thirteen hundred and fifty pass-ngert mostly me
chanics Irorn New York and the State ol Maine.
A ood portion of them immediately started for
lhe mines. When they had got some hundred
miles from Sacramento they found themselves
withbul a dime in the world. The land was full
of them. They could no: get to mining, and if
they should they would not make enough to pay
for what they eat, putting aside tools to work with.
I have had at least a hunttrea men ojjer ia wirnjur
fa-their board, and yon can lure as many as
you want for from 830 to $50 per month, and on
that sum no man can live out here when provis.
ions are as high as they now are. Every one 1
have spoken to about A.'s coming out here says
gay to him, slay at lume by all means. Do
not let him make a fool of himself by coming out
here, as thousands of others have done. He is
ten thousand times better ofl at home with sev
enty five cents a day than with $3 or 04 out
here. , it .
