EDITORIAL PERPLEXITIES.
Rpader! have you ever been so anfortunate as
to mount the editorial tripod ! to become, in
propria person or ex officio knight of - the quill
and scissors? If you have not, you have but
little idea of the unceasing labor and perplexing
cares of editorial life. Oue number of a paper is
scarce revised for press, ere the fancied repose
which may be indulged, from almost unceasing
labor in its preparation, is interrupted by the
Foreman's demand for copy for the succeeding
iMuf ; and, uo matter what may be the dearth ol
news whether Congressmen have been frittering
away whole weeks in idleness ac eight dollars a
day, or condescend to furnish hems, a la Brown
and Wilcox, in illustration of Congressional digni
tywhether peace and quiet go hand rn hand with
smiling plenty, or war and bloodshed stride with
meagre want over the land whether harmony,
long a stranger, has been restored to Democratic
ranks, or the belligerent elements of Young
America" and "Old Fogywin'' still widen the
Weadt whether news is as plenty as blackberries
in July, or scarce as edibles in Raleigh market
a ill our paper must be made up vr twenty
lung columns, weekly, must be filled with new
nutter for our readers a variety of tastes must
becateie.d o, and all of which take umbrage, if
not satisfied ! The duty' of furnishing original
matter for his editorial columns, is not the bnrthen
of an editor's life. Still, he is ex: ected to have a
brain as-prolific and exhaustless as the Wizard's
magic bottle, which can furnish, at call, learned
dissertai ions upon therues political, philisophical
or moral,-with' the same readiness as Wine,
Whiskey, Gin or Hot Punch are poured out by
the u Wizard of the North and that, too, whether
hit brain be racked wi h aching pains, muddy
as Mississippi water, or clear as a whistle, his
iiposi.ion sweetened by success, or soured by
disappointment! - Tint which claims moat his at
tention, is tire selection of matter from his ex-
hanges; and this task, to be performed wejl, re
quires the perusal of some twenty or thirty papers
daily not the mere desultory reading for plea
sure, which leaves the choice to articles whose
captions strike the fancy but the patient silling
of almost interminable rubbish, to secure even the
passable selections with which he is at last able to
grace his columns. And yet, bow doubly per
plexing must be the cares which devolve upon he
who unites the triple duties of editor, publisher
and proof -reader !
With all its perplex "rties. however, it is a thank
i . i . . .....
ies, tasK. io matter what the disposition to
please, there are those who will condemn; however
lealous for the good of his party, those who will

lack of editorial matter to the publication of some
harmless pun,. faqlt finders no less among sub

Let ihose who imagine an editor's cares to be

scrap-book with a certain number of just such ar

his own tasie.but that of others; a task which
wusi oe tulhlled, no matter what the hindrance,

THE DEMOCRACY O? OHIO.
We have received from a friend at Washington,
a copy of the speech of Dr. Tewnsend, an Ohio
Democrat in Congress, defining the position of
the party in Ohio, and suggesting means lor har
monising the cmflicting elements which now dis
tract it. It is a precious morsel for digestion by
the Southern wing of .the Democracy ; and we
hal! publish, next week, some extract, which
we commend to the "faithful" of this State.
That the Ohio Democracy will not aubmit to the
finality of the Compromise, as a party test, is evi
dent, from the position it has assumed, as defined
by Dr. Townsend ; and that the success of Gov.
Wood and his party in the recent elections was
the result of this position, which carried with them
the Abolition Western Reserve, is certain. Taken
in connexion with this, the recent maiKjeuvering
of the party, from the refusal to adopt the Com
promise platform by the Congressional Caucus, to
the silence of the Virginia Convention, all plainly
indicate that the distracting elements are lo be
harmonised by stilling those measures in the Pre
sidential canvass. The following from the speech
must this week suffice:
(,I now come to the question which, perhaps,
interests us most. What mus be done to secure
the harmony of the Demecratic party? Demo
crats throughout the country, I suppose, as ree on
certain great and fund menial principles, while
there may often be found amutif them some diss
greemeni in their appliea ion; particularly on this
question of slavery it is apparent enough there are
great differences of opinion. What will you do?
W Ul you adopt some stringent party test, and de
mand that all who are to be recognized as belong.,
ing to the party shall subscribe to it? This plan
would probably result in such a purgirfg of ibe
party as the gentleman from Georgia recommen
ded; but I respectfully submit if it is not probable
that the operation mi;ht le&ult as in cholera cases,
and the patient be afterwards found in a state of
collapse? If you undertake to exclude from the
Demorratec party nil thoe who, holding the great
doctrines of the Democratic faith, dislike the insti
tution of slaveiy, you wiil, I imagine, scarcely re
tain a corporal s guard in some ot tne states.
But I believe the Democracy of Ohio intend to
maintain the spirit of their own Stage platf-rm,
and will not quietly submit to an indorsement of
the compromise measures, some of which are di
rectly hosti.e to our own avowed political crerd.
At three several State conventions, (the last held
on the 6th day of August last,) a resolution was
adopted preceedmg the one 1 read at the com
mencement of my remarks. It is as follows:
"Retolixd, T'mai the people oi Ohio now, as
they always have done, look upon slavery, in any
part of the Union, as an evil, and unfavorable to
the full development of the spirit and practical
benefits of free institutions, and that, entertaining
these sentiments, they will at all times feel it K
be their duty lo use all power clearly given tVm
by the terms of the national compact to prevent its
increase, and to mitigate and finally eradicate ihe
evil."
CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
: The election for Governor and other State of
ficers look place on Monday last. Kendrick was
the Whig, and Seymour the democratic candi
date for Governor. The returns so far, re too
meagre lo indicate the result The elertion tor
members of the Legts'ature turned principally up
on the Liqnor question, and the political com pel x
ion of many times has been completely chaaed
: The election has doubtless resulted in the suc
cess ol the democrats. There is no choice for Gov.
ernor, but there will probably be a democratic
majority of 20 in the Legislature. As tar as heard
from, 12 democrats and 6 whigs are elected to
the Senate, with Litchfield county, electing three
(Senators, to hear from. New Haven gives a
whig majority of 600.
MISSISSIPPI WHIG CONVENTION.
The Whigs of Mississippi have called a Con
vention to meet at Jackson on the 3rd of May, for
the purpose of electing delegates lo the Whig Na
tional Convention.
AFFRAY AT CLEVELAND.
Mr. McGibony, Marsha! of Montgomery, Ala.,
who came on to arrest Gnat, the murderer, baa
been arrested at Cleveland Ohio, for shooting and
badly wounding Mr. Fuller, the clerk of the Wen
dell House. They had both been drinking toe-
I ther, is is said, previous t the affray.
RECEPTION OF KOSSUTH AT MOBILE.
Tbe reception of Gov. Koesuth in this city, has
very unexpectedly been most hearty and cordial.
He has met mnch sympathy, and an enthusiastic
meeting has been held, at which the sentiments
expressed by Senator Clemens were totally dis
avowed. Many distinguished Alabamians were
present at his reception, and gave him a hearty
welcome. In consequence of these manifestations
in his favor, his departure for the North has been
postponed ler some days.
O" We are indebted to the Hon. James Brooks,
of New York, for a pamphlet copy of his able and
thoroughly practical speech delivered in the House
of Representatives on the 20th ult, while the De
ficiency Bill was under consideration. The speech
abounds with important statistical and other in
formation, collected with much care, and highly
valuable as showing correctly and pertinently the
canses which produced the deficiency the bill un
der consideration was designed to remove
We are also indebted to Hen. J.T. Morehead and
Letcher, Members of Congress, for recent favors.
tr The South Side Democrat explains the re
markable speech of Com. Stockton by declaring
that Ihe Commodore was "incontinently tight" on
the occasion. By tbe way, the Commodore has
mited his speech, and in its modified form it is
not so objectionable to ihe Democratic friends, as
the first report. Still it is protective, federal, and
Wtbtteritk, though he declares he is a strict con
struction Democrat.
fagr- The Whigs of San Francisco have issued
a patriotic address to their brethren of the State,
calling upon them to assist in mantainng those
principles, which, as Wbigs, they believe essen
tial to the welfare of the country. They set forth
that California is suffering from corrupt legislation
in the State, and that the time bas come for the
true Whigs there to pay more regard lo the wel
fare of the State and country,

AND NORTH
MR FILLMORE.
The Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier, a no party paper and a disinterested
witness most truthfully says, in a letter dated t'te
15th:
'Mr Fillmore, if he is an aspirant for the sue-
cession, noes not take any pains to promote hm
views. He certainly does less in relation to the
matter, so far as his prospects are concerned, even
for the nomination, than P.-esidental aspirant ever
did." V
And this is what the country understands and
the people believe of Mr. Fillmore. From the
moment he entered nponthe duties of the Presi
dentnl office comp icater!, embarrassing and dif
ficult as theyL were rendered by the critical condi
tion of the country his sole study has been to do
right, and he has done it most fully most success
fully. 7
He is justly regarded as a wise and good man
a sound and patriotic sistesman. Few persons
are able to maintain an unimpaired popularity
through a long official term, but he hs done more
he has earned a popularity. He began with
none or very little in the S iuth. The general
feeling was one of distrust but now his party, at
least in every Southern S'aie. i almost an unit
in his favor, and it is an uphill business with his
political opponents to find matter for carping.
The dignity of his course and character affords a
grateful contrast lothe fussy intrigues ofaspiran s
to a Presidential nomination the "old fogies''
and the "young humbugs," who fill Congress with
the clamor of their partisans and fualerrren. In all
this furor, we hear nothing tram Mr. Fillmore,
nr can his sharpest enemy detect in his conduct
any thing like shaping official power, patronage
and influence to mere private ends.
DANIEL WEBSTER.
Mr. Webster was sixty-nine years old la&t Fe
brusry. During the whole active period of hts
life he has risen very early, and does so still of
tener b, fore' five o'clock than after it and get
ting through more work before a majority ot law
yers and statesmen have breafasted than most of
the better sort of ihem do in the whole day. In
the summer season, while he is at Marshfield or
at Franklin, he is generally out amc ng bis fine
cattle, for his pleasure and health, by lour o'clock
in the morning ; and in the course of the forenoon,
he often walk- more n.jles with his gun on bis
shoulder, or catches more fish, than moat young
sportsmen in twice tntttime.
His spirits are generally fresh, and for his years
gay, except when anxious about the business of
his country; his ex ernal senses are unimpaired;
ne is as quick ot hearing as he ever was, much
more so than some men like to have him; and he
can read ns fine print withou spectacles as he
could ai twen y. In short, his physical powers
are preserved lo a degree most extra rdinary. con
sidering his age; and. as to his in ellectual facut-1
ties, his marvellous memory, the promptness with
which he can command all his resources, his wise,
judgment of affairs, his massive power never so
iorruidable as when assailed; all these are un
touched, and fill with wonder all who approach
him. Buuton Courier.
SCOTT AND HARVEY.
The death of the latter gentleman, having lately
occurred, wliile he was Governor -f Nova Sco ia,
an exchange has given us the following interes
ting anecdote of him:
During the late war he Was Depu y. Adjutant
General in Canada, and was ii several ha i lies, in
cluding that at Lundy's Lane, At the battle of
Fort, Erie, he wss severely wounded.
"At the battle of Stony Cieek the Americans
were defeated; but Sir John narrowly escaped
being tthot. An American rifleman was just pre
senting deadly aim at hi commanding figure.
wnen a sword s ruc aMUe tu firelock with this
expression: 'Don't fdmol that British officer, he is
preventing the shedding of blood. Sir John was
riding uinung the coifinaiaints, attempting lo stop
the carnage. The officer who struck aside ihe
rifle was Gen. Scott, and the occurrence led to the
great friendship which afterwards existed between
tlie two veterans.
Commodore Stocktom's Speech. We pub
lish on ihe preceding page extracts fiom the
most remarkable speech ot Com. Stockton. We
commend it to the attention of our Democratic
friends. If they can consent logo into a Nation.
al Convention with New Jersey Democrat who
adore Webster, who advocate a Tariff for the pro
tection of American industry, who pray that "pe
rennial flowers thai) ever blossom on the proves
of the Federalism, than whom e purer band of
patriots and more honest men never lived" their
consciences mnst be composed of something very
line inuia ituooer.
Afier such a speech, says the Petersburg Intel
ligencer, it might be expected that Commodore
S ockton would lose political fellowship with the
free-trade, nnti iron Democracy of the South.
But no such thing will follow. The Commodore
may not get the nomination for the Presidency
on account of his want of national strength. But
it he should happen lo get it, the Democracy of
the South would throw up their hats for him a
high as they did for Mr. Polk, when he wrote his
famous letter to Mr. Kane of Pennsylvania.
There is no such thing as political dyspepsia in
the Democracy. When you show us a physical
ly dyspeptic ostrich, we will show you a political
ly dyspeptic Democrat. The Democracy can con-,
form us stomach to anything when hopes of of
fice gild the morsel.
FayetUeville Oburver.
A Washington correspondent of the New York
Commercial says':
"Q,uite a new and very extraordinary course
has been taken by the Senate in regard to iheir in
tercourse witn the President. If I am not much
misinformed, they have now before them, in se
cret session, a resolution which implies a sort of
censure upon him for not permitting them to re
view ihe papers in relation to a nomination which
they had considered and confirmed, and also to
re-consider the nomination itself, some weeks af
ter they bad confirmed it. If this be true as 1
believe i: lo be H will place the Senate in an ab
surd position before the counuy. If this be true,
then ihe President is right, and ought not to yield,
and 1 am very sure he will not. But, of this mat
ter, more anon."
It is now reported that the civil list of Louts Na
leoh, the President of France, will be eight mil
lions of francs, tree from the charge, of maintain
ing ihe royal establishments, which fell upon Lop
is Philippe. The civil list ot the late King was
twelve millions of francs. The salary of the Min
ister Secretaries of State is row to be one hundred
thousand francs a year, Ihe Ministers of Foreign
Affairs and of War receiving one hundred and
thirty thousand francs a year from having more
fraji de representation than tbe others.
Our citizens, end the public generally.
will be gratified to learn that a daily line has been
s ablished from this City to Goldsboro' leaving
very morning at 7 o'clock, except Sundays.

as a political maxam : I'hai, therefore, the scheme

NEW YORK, THE SOUTH AND THE
WEST.
The New York Herald of Wednesday says :
"If Boston has felt the blighting effects of abo
lition, nullification and treason. New York is be
ginning, in her turn, to reap ihe same bitter ex
perience srora the same cause. If there u an un -usual
scarcity of Soutnern merchants at this
time at our hotels, we know at least how io ac
count for it. If this abolition hue and cry is to
continue, we must guess where it will end.
Southern merchants will go to Philadelphia or
Baltimore for their goods, and the trade of the
South will be sufficient tot the ambition of either."

SAGACITY OF A DOG.
The following curious instance is related by
the Edinburgh Weekly Register:
The animal belonged to a celebrated chemist,
wno trie upon it ihe effect of a certain poison,
and upon the next day administered a counter
poison, which had the effect of preserving the
creature's life. The next day another dose was
offered him; but, merei! he would not -ouch it.
Different sorts of poisonous drugs were presented
io him, but he resolutely refused all. Bread was
offered, but he won Id not touch it; meat, but he
turned from it, water, but he would not drink. To
reassure him, his master offered him bread and
meat of which he himself ate in the dog's presence
and of that the sagacious animal hesitated not to
partake. He was taken to a fountain, but he
would drink nowhere but from the spot where the
water gushed free and fresh. Thiaconiinued seve
ral days, until the master, touched by the extra
ordinary intelligence of the poor creature, resolved
to make no more attempts Upon him with his wa
ter. The dog is now very gay and very happy,
but will-eat nothing thai he does not first see his
master touch, nor will he drink except from the
purest spot of the frountain.
