Tbere never assembled in North Carolina a po litical tody in which there was more harmony and good feeling, than m the Whig &ue Convention If tli same spirit is intused into tr.e nearia 01 our fcends in all sections that prevailed nere, e iook with confidence to the redemption of the Stale from Locofocoism. The Delegates did tfieir du:y nobly, and should iheir action in each and every particular not meet ihe approval of some, leuheni remember that it is impossible ail should be exactly 'luiied.and that it is only by compromise and con. Iceasion (hat great measures of policy can be estab lished and pcrpe:u ited. We have time Ihis week only for a word or two pn the Resolutions adopted by the Conveoiion. rThere was but one opinion amongst the Delegates ri to the choice of the Whigs of the State for the residency, and Vice Presidency. Fillmore and Graham were first in the hearts of alt SiJI, the Convention, i.j good faith, declare that a most cordial support will be given the nominees of the National Convention, provided they are untquico leatfy for maintaining the Compromise. . We pre- tuiue none will deny that this is the true principle the principle upon which we are bound in horur to act, when we go into CouveiUioa, with our friends from other sections, to select Candidates We trust Kjllmore will be the nominee that he ' ill not be given up until the last moment that hit nomination will be urged as an" act ol justice to him, and to the country at large but after hi friend have doue their duty, should another who is sound on the Compromise receive the nopiin.ition, we should sustain him, with all our humble ability, and we trust (his is the spirit which actuates every Whig in (he State ; and that no nominee of the Convention caa get the vote of the Whig Party of North Carolina wttlunjt j ut ing it down in black and white in language that will flot admit ol cavil that he is for the Compromise measures, we feel as confident as we ever did- of any thing. Let our friends at the North and in Congress know this ! No man can carni North Carolina vhn does not eoine out unequivocally for the Compromise I The Convention declared its opposition tq the dangerous doctrines which the "foreign patriot,' Kossuth, broached, and proclaimed that it is the true policy of the General Government to adhere to the principles which governed the Father of his Country, in our foreign relations "peace and good will towards all ;" "entangling alliances with none standing upon our own soil, and speaking to the Nations of the earth by our own example, pither than awing them by our dictation, or for. king them by our military powers. Let the South especially beware, how they endorse this fanati cal doctrine! The first plow wilt inevitably be istruck at our peculiar institutions, should War up- bn the principle of Intervention ensue! We do not understand how a man residing in any one of the Old States can hesitate to endorse the Resolution passed by the Convention in refer' ence to the public lands. Millions of ncres of these lands, the common property of all the S ate, have been given to the new State for purposes of Internal Improvement, for education, for building Aiylnms, and for other t State' purposes! The propositions which are now before Congress on this subject are well calculated to arouse the nni ted opposition of all the old Slates. We refrard the measure before Congress to- gise away the public lands, to those who may settle on them, as unjust to the Atlantic States, and we are prepared lo da all in our power to obtain far Nort h Carolina her equitable share of these lands. If thev axe lo I given away, let us hare our rights in the pre mises. We need them. We need them o com plte our works ot Internal Improvement, and to educate our children, and he who stands bv and permits them to be squandered for the sole bene " oi ower States, u not true to JYorlh Carolina ! We shall hereafter resume this subject and pre sent our readers with some statistics hich should Ppen the eyes of all to the gross inj ustice which lureatened the old States by the legislation of congress. The Whig Party of the South have done battle ! too recently lor the Constitution and the Union 'P uppose for a moment that (he Resolution de claring, in ,,e anguage of Washisotoic, our de motion to that Constitution and Union,' will not meet a hearty response fron the heart every '""g or this noble old Constitution aud ih llnin ,. j ... n ,i 1 - "M w "y uese we are determined lo stand, in opposition to anaticism and ult i twuii mv autti ire nucilwD ,ney corue t The action of the Convention cm the anKipoi f amending our State Constitution will, we trust, If?

This is the principle for which We have always contended. This takes the Consti tution out of the hand of legislative demagogues. It shuts tho door to lht system of tinkering with the fundamental law, which, if kept up, will bring incessant strife to our councils, and ruin upon the State ; and above all, it declares what is the true Republican doctrine, that, in this important busi ness of amending the Constitution, the PeopLe should be heard directly that their voice should be obtained, their wishes consulted, before the Constitution is touched. This leaves tvery voter to exercise his own private judgment on this im portant ques'ion, and what is most to bo rejoiced at, it rescues the Coustitution from the arena of partixaa politics, from the hands of unscrupulous demagogues, and places it where it should ever be, in the hand of ike great body of the People ! Is ihere a man who docs not believe that, under the lead of David S. Reid, it is the purpose of the Loco Foco party of ibe State to keep these questions of Constitutional amendments open for years to come, as hobbies for their leaders and as.. pirants loride? We care not what the opinions of Mr. Kerr are. We believe the Whigs ofi me oiaie win sianu ov ine uominauou oi una gallant champion of their principles, and give him their cordial and generous support. He will do hi ditv, and being a true Whig, sound on all the great natioil issues, none of them, we trust and believe, will withhold their Jupport from him because tiis individual views on Stale policy may not exactly coincide wiih theirs. Let us do our duty, rally to the support of him we have selected to bettr our banner, and our honest belief and firm convictions aje, that victory, glorious victory, will crown our efforis! JOHN KERll, ESCi. The nomination ot this gentleman for Governor, made by the Convention without a dissenting voice, will, we believe, meet ihe unanimous ap probation ol the Whigs o( the Stale. A nnan of unquestioned ability, of tried firmness, of iof:y integritf, of unsuspected fiJelity to his friends and his country, his claims to their support as a Whig can only be equalled by his claims as a citizen and a man. In him, the pany will find a lender, who will shrink from no duty who will briag wisdom to the Council and valor to the field. who wdl lead lo success, where success may be'obtained, and where it cannot, wiil, at leas leave his friends the proud conviction thai he de stroed it ; and in him, the Slate will find a Chief Magistrate who will, (what, unfortunately, cap- not be said of lite preseut incumbent,) elevate her pride at home and her reputation ;t broad. But it is no purpose of ours, in this announcement, to lav ish any extravagant praise on the nominee of Ihe Whig Convention. o eulogium of ours is pe- cessnry ; and that party is, indeed, to be envied. the names of whose candidates carry with them their own best eulogy. With feelings of pride and p'easure, then, we place the name of JOHN KERR, at our mast head to day. It is our good fortune, as the con ductor of a Press, sustaining to ihe best of its ability the interests of the Whig party, to know that our duties as such are rendered by the nom inations of Fillmore, Craliam and Kerr, not only agreeable, but exceedingly easy. The Whigs of the Old North State have ihus boldly taken their stand, "And come wnat will, they mean to bear ft our. a t : l ft ! i Ann eitner live witn glorious victory, Or die with f.iine." SPEECHES IN CONVENTION. The reader will perceive, in the-official account oi ine proceeuings oi the Convention, that we have attempted a sketch or abstract of the various eloquent and thrilling addresses and they were all so, made :n that body. That sketch, of course, aa every one who had the pleasure of b ing present will recognise, is meagre ; but it may serve to impress more vmuiy upon some, a re collection of the many glowing and patriotic sen timents they heard, and convey to those who were debarred that pnvi ege, an idea of the spirit arid enthusiasm that characterized all the deliberations of (he Convention. We cannot refrajn. in this connection, from spesrking of the closing Address of Mr. Satierih waite, the esteemed President of the Convention. We feel that we should do it the greatest injus tice in attempting to say anything of its beauties. They are lost, forever, tq those who did not hear them, and for those who did, it is idle for us to gather up ihe gems. Mr, S. presided over the deliberations of the Convention with thatability and urbmity which are characteristic of the man- We were particularly struck with one thing con peeled with the various speeches made : the entire absence of anything like abuse of our polit ical opponents. In this particular, a god exam ple has been set lor the loco foe o Convention,, shortly to assemble in this City, to emulate. DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL CON CONVENTION. It will be seen that the Hon. Augustihf. H. 4sHEPFERD,of Stokes, Dr. Fred-. J. Hill, of Bruns wick, Henrt K. Nash, of Orange, and Henry W. Miller, of Wake, were elected, by ballot of the Convention, to the National Whig Convention which is to assemble in the City of Baltimore, on the lfjth of June, proa. Excellent selections, ail. Mr. Miller received, we believe, the unanimous vote of the Convention a handsome but well-deserved tribute to his long, faithful and efficient services in the Whig cause. It will also be perceived, by refeience to the proceedings of the District Convention, that Gen. N. T. Grebh, of Warren, Geo. W. Hat wood, of Wake, J. W. Evaks, of Johnston, and Jwo. D. Htm ah, of Edgecombe, have been selected as Del egates lrora this (the Sixth.) Congressional Dis trict. SOUTH CAROLINA STA l E'S RJGHTS CONVENTION. Col;tmbi4, April 27. The States Rights Con vention met here yesterday and organized by elec ting Gov. Means President The convention then adjourned till today. The proceedings ex cite great interest, and a committee of twenty-one was appointed to day to prepare "business for the Convention.. AND NOETH THE City' OF OAKS. We scarce open an exchange, in which we do not find some.ourj(ushings of local pride the ex pression of that manly prejudice which regards the attractions of home as superior to 'all the world beside;" and we may, therefore.be indulged in the amiable weakness" of attempting the por traiture of our own oak-embowered City. Des pite the laggard pace of that hoary old gentleman Winter inr taking his leave, the young Spring has strijen hard to throw of therestraint which he imposes, and, with the sunshine and showers, has given birth to as rich a foliage upon our countless oaks and elms, and to as gay-colored and beauti- lul flowers, as ere cheered the sihi after a lonjr and dreary winter. The visitor to our City can not but be struck with the profusion of these beau ties which everywhere greets him, rustling io'very glee and pride upon their parent boughs trailing up the walls aod covering the beds of garden burting the tiny buds which enclose them, lend ing a richer charm to tua sunlit sky or cluster ing luxufiatVlj amid 'the ghroy rtptur -fining the air with perfumes, and delighting the careless passer by " thoughtless, perhaps, whence these pleasures come." La rger Cities may boasLjn addition to their Parks aod Squares, (an occasional oasis amid the brick and mortar desert, from whose fcaiid breath even they are noi secure) one incessant scene of a musement and pleasure; yet these all grow dull in i heir monotony, and from their hot, house birth fail to please like the pure enjoyments which Na ture so abundan ly furnishes. "Talk of their Cas tle Garden entertainments, with even the Swed Jish bird, or "Italian Cantatrice to warble their sweetest notes; toe can take a seel amid our oaks or elms neither stifled by a confused crowd of over dressed -flirts or spoonies, nor inhaling the impure breath of a thousand, lungs and enjoy the music of Na-ure's full choir of liny warblers who throng the boujjhs, and sing, not f r the few who can afford five dollars for the luxury, bu" gratuitously for alt. No seats have to be secured beforehand, at extravagant prices ; no sudden indispositions cut off your budding pleasure; no axioms of criticism call upon you to weigh well. in advance, whether you will enjoy yourself or not. You can be pleased without stun or cost. Not even a dime is required for you to feast both your sight and hearing you have music which would entrance (he most indifferent'' a group ol colors which would enchant Titian, and a min gling ot fragrance that would bewilder a Peri." Of ihe dehgHil'ul music with which, we are re galed, we fpoke in a recent number, in giving a brief history of the little things, whose annual visits are sure to cheer us ; and we can conceive of but few m re delightful senvations than are produced by a stroll through our groves, in lis tening to Ihese almost invisible warblers, as they hop from luub to limb amid the thick green fol iage. Beaulilul, healiUy, agreeable, we mav, in deed, well be proud of the old " City of Oaks, ' UNION STATE CONVENTION OF GEOR GIA. Ihe State Convention ot the Ur.ion partv of Georgia was held at Milledgeville on the 2ind and 23rd. The Hon. A. H. Chanoell oreaidd. The principal business brought before the Con venlion consisted ot a scries of resolutions report ed by a Committee of Twenty four Delegates, o which Mr. Charles J. Jenkins was chairman. These resolutions endorse and main lain the final, iiy of the compromise measures; declare it inex pedient for the Union party at this time to take any action on the Presidential question ; and re commend thatTanot her Convention be assembled for that purpose after the Whig and Democratic nominations and platforms shall have been made. The report and resolution were adopted, and the Convention adjourned sin? die. It will thus be seen that ihe Constitutional Un ion parly of Georgia has res lved to maintain an independent organization, and keep itself separ.n ted from cither of ihe great parties of the country, until the proceedings of their respective National Conventions vhall disclose the platforms upon which they intend lo conduct the Presidential campaign.

Taylor as a "no-partv" man, and with bis three hundred ne groes as the pledge of his devotion to Southern lights; and 'n 185 J advoiating Gen. Scott as a -'true Whig," and professing to be satistied with private pledges from him, a non-slaveholder, in n matter vitally af fecting both the institution itself and the existence of tbe Union. Edward Stanly declaring in North-Carolina, a slavehuldiug State, that he "knows" Gen. Scott to be in favor of the fugitive-slave law, aud Truman Smith declaring in Connecticut, a free State, that U$-Lknorpsn him to be opposed to it; aud no record at hand to show which is right. The above is from the " Standard" of the 24th April. We ask that print to inform the public, when and where Trumau Smith said Gen. Scott was opposed td the Fugitive Slave Law We will not believe the Standard intends to prop agate this falsehood, until we hear further. We ask for an answer. It is due to the public that one should be given. GO This city- was visited on yesterday at noon with a very sudden and violent storm of rain and hail.

High Price of Provisions. It is not only in this immediate latitude, that we bear loud com plaints of ihe excessively high prises of provis ions. T'e New York Jltralil quotes beof at 15 cents per pound, ham 14, butter 30, potatoes 1,50, shad 37i a piece, Stc, and attributes the scarceness to the "obstruction from the West by a long hard winter, protracted into spring, and oth er causes, which always force the price of provi sions to go up," as a part of the c .use. The re suit, it says, is to drive away from New York some of the most industrious and useful of the population. The Herald cails on the Pennsylva nia fanners to come to the aid of the Gothamites and save them from starvation. The following we copy from the National In telligencer ol Monday last: "At Centre Market on Saturday morn ing the people met and perambulated more than usual. They found marketing of all kinds at very high figures, in sone instances almost at war prices Bacon, for good pieces, sto d at 12 cents per pounu ; lor stiouioere little less lhan oone, 10 cts ; heel 1Q and 12 cents ; butter S7i cen s for anv fit i em ; cuevse iu cents. e are at a loss lo conceive the cau.se of these high prices, especially aa me season oi I3l was a truiilolone, and as (to extraordinary exportation have occurred that we know of. There can le no doubt that one of ibe safest and most profitable investments for time, money, industry, and intelligence is, to oe tound in raising vegetable, dairy, and farm yard produce for the Washington Market." The tame rates of price apply to the Rich mond market, Butter is sold there as high as 37) cents' at retail.

I do not pre end to say that this glorious Union has no faul s. 1 have never denied that a series of blunders have been committed in the adminis ira'ion of this Government; but 1 have said of the Union what I would say of my own wife for J have a wife, and a very fine-lqueiug one, too. If I could admit that my wife had a fault which I do npt admit 1 make no such admission; if she had one, or two, or many fatits, I would say to her,- "With all thy faults I love thee still.'' So I say now with regard to the Government founded by my fathers, 1 do not believe it is a perfect Government, or one without faults and blemish es; but 1 do claim thai we have better secured the ends of justice, peace, prosperity and happiness, under our own form of government, than they have been secured under any oiher form of Gov ernment beneath the sun. And, although' 1 am thousands ot miles from my family, 1 feel to-day that they are just as secure, although this vast distance intervenes between us, as if 1 vas there to protect them. Why? Because the ample folds of the flag of this government wave over them. 1( is because the combined power of t wen ty.three millions of freemen are pledged to protect that which is dear to my heart; and the saddet day, in my judgment, that has ever dawned on this country, will be that on which our present form ol government shall be destroyed.- Extract from a speech of Mr. Naber$, Representative from Alie-sissippi. itinculc-" J:- - - , Numter 3o7' leh last, THIRTY-SECOND CONGRESS.

From the Troy Daily Times. LABOR AND THE LABORER. .The laborer is God's nobleman. He Is the mainstay ol society. He feeds and clothes com. munities. He is the.civihzer as well as the Dro ducer. But f.r his well-directed industry, human subsistence could only be obtained by the appli ance oi savage life by hunting or tuning or by tlie inhuman barbarity of cai.niba.hstn.' Labor has made our country great; and its work is.btit ju.-l commenced. The field & almost illimitable. Comparatively, the laborers are few Conceding the worth ol labor, and acco-ding to it the hon or justly its due, it occupies a posi'ion ol drgiuty which all muil respect and none Deed be ashamed lo acknowledge Labor pr id uces. Production supplies necessities and affords luxuries. Everv Pe,lnJ in 'he coffers of the rich man. was in sobje way (troauceu oy ;aoor. .4s money is the rep- irseuianie oi vatue, so value, in our realization of its essential virtue, attaches only to that which labor has had some nand in wot king out. In this coun ry labor is more honored and bet ter paid than in any other. This is owing to the expansive fiela lor operation here presented, lo our free institulions, and to the comparative pau city of capital. Wealth, loo, is so distributed lhat it canno be concentrated, as in the old wwrld, so as to exact iis own terms from labor. Hence the thrift which crowns and blesses industry limited only by the degree of enterprise which directs it, and by the skill with which it is wielded. It is a serious anomaly? in the economy of man and ol society, as connected with tinman indus try, that the product of labor is, and always ha been, the worst enemy of labor itself. Though capital affords employment, it not uiifrequently oppresses the employed, even in this free country. The "laborer is worthy of his hire ;" and if any class of men on earth deserve ihe means which will sectro comfort and contribute to happiness, it is ihe laboring class. But capital, inonopo. liztng the facilities for employment, exacts iia own terms of labor. The laborer has a hard, plodding life at best ; he should be encouraged by general remuneration and cheered on by popular respect and approval. Thus a stimulus to exertion will be afforded an incentive to good conduct presented, which will not only be more tlnu repaid by augmented pro duc ion, but must likewise promote the honor, the well being, and the morali y of communities. The capitalist is his own worst enemy who at tempts to add to his benefits by withholding from labor his honest dues. Thus oppressed, labor w grudgingly bestowed, and business for which it is employed is often neglected lof hal done; when if Weil paid.il moves with a will, and accomplish es its work with a thoroughness that leaves no room for dissatisfaction Tie laborer then lifts his head and walks like a man ; he works, loo, as ihe man of free spirit and unchained limbs can only work. It is, therefore, clearly Ihe interest of the employer tagive remunerative wages to the employed. There are top many laborers in our Urge towns and cities. The supply is greater than the de mand. Hence we often witness wretched pover ty among those who, if opportunity were hfford ed, would cheerfully work and earn a.comlorta ble living. It is surprising to us lhat day labor ers especially will cling to cities with such ten acity, and endure the horrors of want- often, too often, reduced to the necessity of beggary when they might go into the country and always make sure, at least, of a living, Here they cannot even make that all the seasons of Ihe year, however much favore'd in the business season. It is this concentration of surplus labor in our Urge towns and cities lhat piaces it at the mercy of capital and degrades it to servitude. ; In this count! y the working man holds in a great degree h 8 destiny in his own hands If he act well his part," thrift and happiness will be his portion. With unshackled sinews, a free spirit, and ready hand', he may, indeed, be the architect of his own fortune. ADDRESS OF THE SOUTHERN MEM BERS OF CONGRESS. Washington, April. 27. An.
