We publish, in another column, the proceed lam of the very large and highly respectable iVhig District Convention, which assembled in iatesviUe on the 17th int. The "Old North kate" gives a glowing account of its delibera- fions and of the Speech of Mr. Kerr upon the casion. It says : "We have beeu to a ereat many eatherines in be District for political purposes, but we never aw a larger delejr.at.ion than that which assem bled at Gatesville on Monday, and every thing Cent on use a cnarm nojarnng m Jonveuuon, o pergonal bickerings, but all seemed to work father for the glorious cause of Whiggery. Liter the business of the Convention was gotten hrough with, our candidate for Governor, John Kerf, Jwq., came forward and gave the meeting bne of the ablest and best delivered speeches, rhat it has ever been our lot to listen to. He lully established all that had been said of him a gentleman anu a statesman. 4.ne ineetuiK adjourned with the best of feelings, all felt and Ww that thev had a glorious cause and a eal- wnt loader to uphold that cause, and all parted wun the determination to go to work, ana assist "hat leader ia bringing back the Old NorthState ffo the position she ought to occupy among her Kirter States. o longer will they suffer the gubernatorial chair of North Carolina to be I filled by a "progressive modern Democrat."

The Presidential elec tion will take place on the first Thursday of No vember thereafter, It is evident, we think, that h month will not be sufficient time to arrange and publish to ! the voters the Electoral tickets. This condition of filings must he provided against in the best way possible. We should risk noth ing, Would it not be best then to adopt the re commendation of our opponents and select one candidate for Elector from each Congressional District, and one for the State at large, with the understandingthat the Legislature when it meets will ratify by a temporary act this arrangement T This mode has been adopted by our opponents, and we have no doubt if it is also adopted by the Whigs, that the Legislature will ratify it, which ever Party may have the ascendency. It is an important matter and should be attended to at once. We suggest that the "Executive Com mittee" appointed by the Whig Convention take the subject under consideration forthwith. What say our friends of the Whig press T We publish the names of the gentlemen who compose the "Executive Committe." They know their duty and will no doubt perform it. They are as follows, viz : Andrew Joyner, of Halifax ; David A. j3arnes, of Northampton ; Robt. B. Gilliam, of Granville ; Daniel S. Hill, of Frank lin' ; Henry W. Miller, of Wake ; Joseph W. Evans, of Johnston ; Henry K. Nash, of Orange ; John H. Hacghto.v, of Chatham, and Edward J. Hale, of Cumberland. THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. We trust the Whigswill bear in mind that the next Legislature will have a United States Senator to elect will have the Electoral and Congressional Districts to remodel, and the Se natorial Districts to re-organise, under the pro visions of our State Constitution,' t ) continue for twenty years. There is but little doubt the Locofocos will make a desperate effort to secure a majority in both branches of that body. They are already calling out their strongest men. Will the Whigs remain inactive? Do they feel disposed to give their opponents the advantage which they will certainly gain by having the next Legislature ? If not, let them begin at once, a system of or ganization, in each County. Let the most effi cient and strongest men be brought out, and let there be a ticket in each and every County, where there is the least hope of success. We have a gallant champion in the field. He will do his duty.:. The news from all sections of the State is cheering. His nomination has been re ceived everywhere with the greatest enthusiasm. But he cannot be triumphant, unless his Erieodaiialheir duty, and" their whole duty.' n o want ojoxi i- jHtarfJij'ittl not the Whigs take heed in due time and pre pare for the conflict ? ALABAMA. Mobile papers continue to furnish evidence of the progress of the movement in Alabama to secure the presence of delegates in the Whig National Convention. Meetings have been held in Marengo and Baldwin counties, both in f vor of being represented at Baltimore. The Marengo meeting recommended Mr, Fillmore as their first choice for the Presidency, and Mr. Webster as the second choice ; with Mr. Crit tenden for the Vice Presidency. The Baldwin meeting recommended Mr Fillmore and Gov ernor Jqnes of Tennessee, In each case,' the delegates were instructed to regard known ad herence to the Compromise as a "final settle ment" of the questions to which it relates, as tjie test to which other considerations are to be made subservient. The " Wilmington Journal" is at a loss to un derstand why Mr. Buchanan was virtually thrown overboard by the recent looofoco Con? vention in this City. That paper says : The high praise bestowed upon Judge Strange, we heartily and cordially endorse, as also the re. commendation of his name to the consideration and approval of the Baltimore Convention as a candidate for JtheTice Presidency. In taking this action, the Convention acted simply in. obedience to the ex pressed will of the party throughout the State, of which Judge Strange is the first and enthusiastic choice, But it is to be regretted that the Conven tion should have deemed it necessary to put asun der names whiGh their constituents had invariably joined. The ticket at every county meeting in this section, ha been "Buchanan ana Btrange neither separately. So far as the influence of Mr. Buch anan's friends in other States goes, this apparent desertion of that gentleman at the last and most im portant moment, must operate unfavorably towards the success of North Carolina's favorite son. In making these remarks, we are willing to assume our full share of blame, if such there be. We do not often change a course of policy which has been the result of deliberate conviction, upon the advice of anybody ; but in this case we yielded to the judgment of esteemed party friends, and in one or two articles, enforced the policy of non-committal on the. part of the Convention, We now believe that our first opinion was right, and that the cause of Judge Strang would have been more effectually subserved had the State Convention followed up the course indicated by the primary meetings," It is a well known fact, that while the masses of the so-called Democracy in this State are for Buchanan, ' the leaders are for Douglas. As usual, in such eases with that party, the wishes of the former are allowed to prevail but little with the ambitious and unscrupulous desires of the latter. I LATEST FROM EUROPE. The U, 8, mail steamship, Humboldt, arrived at New York on Saturday evening last, bringing dates from London and Southampton to 10th, Havre to the 0th, and Paris to the 8th inst. The Liverpool Cotton Market, on the 8th, was steady. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, of which 700 Egyptian and 1,800 American were on speculation, and 2,000 American and 5,000 Surat for eiport. We! learn from the Standard" that it ', r, Rein's intention to meet Mr. Kerr at MO UVT Greenville, ;on Monday next, the-31st inbt. LET US REASON! TOGETHER. It is well known that we have done all we could to advance the claims of Mr. Fillmore to the nomination for the Presidency by the Whig Party. We regret to learn that some of our friends continue, in their seal for this dis tinguished Statesman, toi indulge in rather harsh expressions . towards the other distin guished men whose names have been men tioned in connexion with the nomination. Some of onr friendswe learn, 'have gone so far as to declare their determination not to support the ticket if Mr. F. is not the nominee, even should the successful candidate before the Con vention endorse the entire series of Compromise measures. We would most respectfully ask of all such, is this right ? Will it be fair and just ? What is the purpose of a Convention, but to compare views and reconcile differences of opin ion ? If Mr. F. is nominated, would not , these Whigs be the first to denounce the friends of Scott and Webster, should they refuse their Bup-' port to such nomination t On principle we may refuse our support to any man who is opposed to the Compromise or who will not endorse it, though he may be the nominee, but should the nominee of the Convention into which we go, endorse those measures, principle will likewise demand for him our support. We put this case to those of our friends who have suffered their zeal for Mr. Fillmore to carry them so far as to use expressions savoring of harshness towards the claims of the other Candidates. If General Scott is the nominee for President and William A. Graham for the Vice Presidency, and the former publishes a letter endorsing the Compro mise out and out, and declaring his determina- tion to stand by it in all its provisions, will they not sustain the ticket with their accustomed zeal? We know they will ! They will forget their pre ference for men, and rally with their brethren around the banner of their Country. Mr. Fill more himself will do it so far as is consistent wiin nis omciai station, and every other true Whig in the nation will do it; and if this spirit governs the friends of each and all the great men who are spoken of for the nomination, glorious victory awaits us, whether the nominee be Fillmore, Scott or Webster 1 "Let us reason together" and all will be right 1 Crimination and recrimination will do no good, but on the contrary, much harm. We most sincerely de precate it, and trust our friends will keep cool and "bide their time, DEMOCRATIC SPECULATIONS, The Democratic National Convention is to meet at Baltimore on next Tuesday. The following speculations of the New York Evening Post (Dem ocratic) as to the result of the first ballot for a candidate for the President of the United States may possess interest for some of our jreaders : eif 1 trorcntnigh is known to enable us to de termine pretty accurately the complexion of the first ballot, Though it is probable that no two persons who will be presented to the Conven tion have fewer chances of a nomination than the two who will start with the highest number of votes, vet it may be interesting to our rea ders to see how the States appear to stand affec ted towards the several candidates. We have prepared the following table with great care, and venture to predict that the vote in Conven tion on the first ballot will not vary from it ten votes, unless a certain bogus delegate, who pro fesses to have authority to cast the vote of South Carolina, is admitted. The fact that he is un derstood to have pledged himself to Douglas will probably prevent his admission. Should the Convention decide to receive him, 10 should be added to the Douglas vote, making it 36 s s a 03 States. 9 o at ;A a as a 8-S S QQ Alabama Arkansas ,, California Connecticut Delaware...,.

We reject the "Standard's" infer ence. We know some very clean mechanics. The Editor would do well to imitate that clean liness, so far, at least, as his political morals are concerned, And for aught the ''Standard" knows,' we applied the word "dirty? to Douglas, in the same sense that we apply it to that paperwe mean, the foulness of Ms political practices I Gov. Re id has appointed Dr, John A Hanks, of Chatham, to represent the State in the- next annual meeting of the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Company ;; and Messrs, Peter Evans and Elias Bryan, Directors on the part of the State in said Company.; He has also appointed Judge Battle to hold the extra Term of-Mecklenburg Superior Court, and Judge Manly to hold the extra Term of New Hanover Superior Court. r YOUNG! AMERICA ON THE SPOILS 'The April number of the Djsmocratic Review w quite as abusive as its immediate predeces sors, and will, no doubt, just at this moment, be universally read with interest. It is embellish ed with a steel-engraved portrait of Young A merica, as represented in the person of Hon. E. t3j Marshall, of California. Cass Jr. and Sr. the Senator from Michigan and our Charge at Rome, seem to be the selected victims for the pres ent month. They are savagely tomahawked, The motive which impels Young America in its war upon Old Fogydom is fully "explained in the article on the nomination. It is extremely natural ; but the avowal of it wjll tend to make Fogydom die hard. The rationale of the matter, as stated by the "Republic," is simply this : The old Fogies are too much embarrassed by the accumulation of unredeemed .promises. They have given away every thing" too many times over. They have created too many liens and mortgages on the public places and the public moneys, in favor of the older generations of men, who are regarded as of small account in the coming struggle of the Democracy. This view is so clearly and strikingly expanded in the fol lowing extracts from the Review, that we cannot but recommend them to the attentive considera tion of bur readers as embracing the whole phil osophy of Young America's position : "But the worst effect of tins fogydom is, that without principle upon which to base its actions, without progressive ideas to popularize and al lure support, it has necessarily been forced, that it might effect its merely personal ends, to make use of subterfuges, of corruption, and of schemes, in utter antagonism to Democracy, and disas trous to the progress and character of our coun try. Fogydom has been compelled to subsist for i years on promises; to pledge iteelf to this and that rival, to this and that local demagogue ; to take off its hat to the small wire-puller of 'the little village, and dole out its conditional notes of the lip for "situations" and support. There is not a pettyc liquer, or grocery orator, or ward leader of Democratic influence, who cannot pro duce from his breast-fob, carefully treasureof for the coming day, which is never to come, promises and pledges from one or other of the old fogies, and often from half a dozen rivals altogether.. These imbeciles, after a series of defeats, hav ing lived on political tick for nigh twenty years, are precisely in the condition of an idle but im aginative huckster of other people's wares, who has protested bills out in every direction, bills again and again protested, which, in the hope of deriving at some future day some small in come for himself, he is now perfectly willing to renew again and to increase to any amount. It would take four Democratic administrations un der the complete direction of General Cass to enable him to pay the promises with which for years he has flooded the, country and imposed upon his friends. Nor is he worse off than the rest of the fogy family. That all, or even a de cent composition of the creditors, can be paid any thing, is hopeless. But yet aU are on the hook, all are at his semcWvn4seh hopes be works, t It does nor. ruJue ta BeikloaJbt lengthens the lease of thfpiSiJJj. ire. jr. reuuereu iwemy ,ear8 back better and more urgent becanJi-TneY were riven twenty years back. The lengthened trust proves confidence and loyalty democratic Joyalty to tne person ot tne debtor and the lengthened interest, especially if renewed by other "servi ces," increases the principal claim of theoflice seeker. These country and city fogies will fight now for the man they backed at such a time be cause chivalrous feeling ! they gave tb ori ginal service long ago on a promise which has never been fulfilled, but which may yet be. 'Thus each fogy candidate has gone foryears on years, from election to election, from office to office, with a continually-increasing atpiy of hun gry, local fogies at his back; who, poor devils! for their very lives, must support him to the last, that their own past services may be rewar ded at the monetary expense, which is trivial, and political degradation, which is abominable, of the country and of the party; and each old fogy candidate now comes up in this new era of '52, with no principle, no genius, no capacity to see the point of his noHe,butwUh a whole crowd of superannuated wire-pullers,frdgmcnts of for gotten contests, freshly-hired servitors of to-day, and old creditors of twenty ytars back, eager to be saddled on the coutUry and on the progress of mankind. Youpg America, the young Demo cracy of the present world, is called on to turn its back on its destiny, fix up and fence in the United States as a huge asylum for the indigent and the imbecile, and the veteran toadies of a past era, and employ its genius and its industry I m spoon-feeding them, and in paying the polit ical aeDts oi those whom their own generation regarded as incompetent even in youth, and who never could have attained even the politi cal . importance of being a candidate save by the nakedest and the most barefaced schemes of the most prodigal Corruption. It remains to be seen whether this young Democracy will employ itself thus for another half century in paying the pro tested bills of a dead and indigent generation, Success in such an undertaking would be highly praiseworthv and charitable withal. But it can not; succeed; and what is more, if it could, it won't pay. Two hundred millions in charity, in alms, to political paupers, to men no longer fit to do any thing, or earn a cent politically, is rather too much. JNo party. n nation, were Democratic Drincinle and the national honor thrown utterly aside, could subsist, could endure, under a burden so huge, and yet so Tiai, state, and unprofitable,' as this vast police and spy or gauizauon oi oia personal nacKaana puouu mar pies. If that is to be the whole duty of man in this generation, spoon-feed the old fogies oj tne last, say so, gontlemen; let ub know what yon, leaders of fogydom, want in the way of money and patronage, for, as to principle or progress, you are careless as to thatf let the poople be fully informed whether or not each fogy candk date is prepared to force top-boots, old horn headed walking-canes, and pig-tail queues into every office, department, mission, consulate, and clerkship; let ns know the sweeping sum total estimate of plunder, that with & sponge we may wine the Whole thin? out and have done wiin n.

The new United States steamer Puwhatanm&de an experimental trip from! Norfolk, to the Capes on Friday lasiy which is represented to have been eminently successful. Her immense ma chinery worked; admirably, performing sixteen revolutions per minute, and making about ten miles per hour, jMr. Graham, the Secretary of the Navy, with Commodores Morris and Shubeick, and Captains Saunders and Cun ningham, with several hundred citizens and ar? tisans at Norfolk, participated in the pleasures of the trip, : A correspondent of tie Baltimore Patriot states that at the dinner which .was served on board ' "Dr Mallory proposed the health of the present able and efficient: Secretary pf the Njvy, which was warmly received,' and to which Mr. Graham hand somely responded. Commodore Morris, one of the never-dying glories of (he American navy, was next toasted in connexion with his fight on the frigate Constitution. The oli her responded modestly. A toast of most exquMte appropriateness, compli menting Commodore Shpbrick for his gallant and valuable services at Craney Island, in the repulse of the British invaders, was! given, received, and replied to in the happiest manner. The ship chan ced at that instant to be passing the scene of the battle. The prosperity of the Gosport Iron Works and its monument in this day's result was warmly drunk. "The Secretary and suite left the ship (safely anchored at the Navy Yard) under the hearty cheers of five hundred happy people, and immediately took the steamer Herald for Baltimore, en route for Washington." .

J I FOR THE REGISTER. MR, KERR IN GATESVILLE. Mr. Gales : I seize a leisure moment to inform you, that I had the pleasure! on Monday last in the town of Gatesville, to hear the first speech of Mr. Kerr, the Whig candidate for Governor of the State. Before I speak of the manner in which Mr. Kerr opened the campaign, let me inform you, that the weekjof Gates County Court always brings together a vast concourse dtjy ple. Gatesville is considered as the "head qVar ters" of the Fishermen on the Albemarle sound and its tributaries, who meet from aU the coun ties interested in this important branch of busi ness, to close up their operations for the season. In addition to this, it was the time and place agreed upon by the Whigs ef the 9th Congres sional District to: appoint delegates to the Na tional Convention soon to assemj)le in Baltimore to nominate candidates for Presdent and Vice President of the U. Si The business of the Whig Convention having bero disposed of to the satisfaction of the delegate in attendance, a committee of one from each county was appoin ted to wait uponi Mr, Kerr, and inform him, that it was the.Tyish, not only of all the dele gates, but of the vast assemblage of the people to hear him address them upon the purposes of his mission amongst them. Mr. Kerr was ac cordingly -introduced to the people, by Mr. Cherry, one of the delegates from the county of Bertie, and for near two hours held his audience almost spell-bound by: his almost inimitable powers of argument and oratory. So soon as it was known, mat mr.: jverr naa enterea tne Court House, he was greeted with such raptur ous welcome, as to make the very walls of the house to shake. Ht prpoosdod to oddoo tL people, informing them ot tb objoot ot ma mio sion amongst them that the great Whig party of the State had thought proper to designate him after mature deliberation as the atanaara Dearer of their ume-bonored flag, in the approaching contest for the Chief-magistracy of the State; that having accepted the commission which they had so honorably tenaerea mm, ne snouiu uw htWiest ancL honorable exertion to rescue that time-honored flag from the dust, in which it I had uniortunateiy iratieu, uu pirco u. aguu fh triumph over the "good .old State." He then proceeded to reaa tne ptanorm wnicn,. they had laid down for him, and which he had accepted, and to debate, at length, each of the separate resolutions wmcn tne mg wbybuuuu had adopted, and which he said he should adhere to in every section of State, as his guide in the contest. I have not seen nor heard so much of the old Whig enthusiasm since the days of Hen ry Clay, as greeted Mr. Ji.err at every step m tne progress of his speech, When he reached the subject of the next Presidential Election, and spoke of the only candidates known any thing of in this section of the State, viz : Fill more and Graham, particularly the former of these names, the burst of applause was really dpft-ffininu-. . i If the same enthusiasm awaits Mr, Kens and , 3 a I iw sikAi tmvtirmfli of tie State, as in Gatesville, the democracy may look out for- the ; hand writing upon tne wall, Mr, Kerr's fine personal appearance, his frank, open, generous and manly character, his high reputation as a virtuous and excellent gen tleman, to say nothingjof his power as a public speaker, have given him a hold upon the affec tions of our people, which you may rest assured will teU in August next ' He is doubtless the man to redeem the State. .Every Whig here is for him, and will do his '.-' I . duty. If every other section of the State wfll stand firm, and Fillmore is the nominee of the National Convention, a Waterloo defeat awaits, the democracy in August. , Mr. Kerr left Gates ville, for Elizabeth city, where the gallant Whigs of Pasquotank will receive him with Sen arms. If the Whigs wiTJ but do their uty in the centre, and the West, John Kerr will Jbe elected Governor of the State by a tri umphant vote. Yours, Jfcc. Frederick Douglass states , in his paper that while proceeding from Cleveland to Buffalo on a steamboat, one of the employers of the boaOun dertook to turn him from the supper-table, but was commanded to desist by a stranger, who proclaimed that he was a 80therner,, and secured the "colored orator from further an noyance. He subsequently ascertained that the stranger was Mr. Marshall, member of Congress from California. So says the New York Even ing Post Pennsylvaman, 24t h. Prices Current.

Down in the cold and silent grave, where All is dark and drear, they've lain Thee gently to rest, with mournful hearts And eyes filled with honest tears ; For it was the brave and good Whom death's unerring dart had stricken Down, ere Jife had reached its summer - Time, or hope had fully spread Its wings for a nobler flight. Yet we will not mourn ; for he Had a trust, that ne'er can fail Mortal man at that dread day, When the inmates of a million graves Shall shine in glory, and be at rest. J. , . Raleigh, May 26th, 1852. FOR THE register. There are few casualties in our mortality of a sadder nature, than when a fraternity, united by mystic ties, is called upon to mourn the Iobs of an esteemed member, and console with the' kindly charities of our brotherly affection the bereaved widow and protect the helpless or phan, , Our Brother, Jos. Kirkland, P. G., of Sama ritan Lodge, No. 31, I. O. O. F., is no more. " The Golden Bowl is broken, the silver cord is loosed," and we have this day laid in the si lent tomb all that remained of our good brother. Free from earth and earth's trials, we humbly hope that he has been transplanted to the re gions of the blessed, " where temptation never enters and which sorrow never darkens." We loved him while living ; we have to day honor ed him with the performance of our funeral cer emonies over his grave, and desire to spread upon our records some lasting tribute of respect, and to furnish his bereaved family with an as surance of our sympathy and, our condolence. Therefore, Resolved, Thatthisdgefeel8.deeytltuw.. sustained m tne death or so estimable a Mother, so good a citizen, so praiseworthy and consistent a christian and so indulgent kind hearted a husband and father. Resolved, That the afflicted widow .and orphan children of our deceased brother, have a claim upon the kindness and attention of this Lodge, and shall never want a helping hand in their bitter hour of need. Resolved. That though we cannot heal the wound inflicted on them by the providence of God, nor yet believe that He afflicts his children without intend ing their good, we nevertheless commend them to the care and pardoning grace of Him, " who suffers not a sparrow to fall unnoticed." Resolved, That the Steward be authorized to clothe our Lodge-room in appropriate mourning for three months, and we individually wear the badge of mourning for thirty days. ' - ' Resolved.

The death of Mrs. Martha Brickell, on xlwrsr dav the 20th. in the 75th year of her age. was the removal from the community of no ordinary person. The writer of this knew her well, and. though his judgment of her may -have been formed JlerB$roneprtMryyethb c of her character from nearly 20? years' close personal obseroiion, and affirm that taken in all the relations of life, to which God had called her, she had no superiors. Early brought to the communion of the Church, under the power of affliction, her piety partook largely of tho always characterized by a peculiarly tender and considerate regard for the wanta and sufferine of her fellow men, Thougfc through trringre verses in life, her pecuniary resources were small, yet her heart and hand were eye found open in liberal gifts to the ehureh and the needy. Though poor herself; she "never turned her face from any poor man," Reduced sometimes to the widow's mite, still she bestowed that with " iuiu.o spine wwaras uod, while it so much christian sympathy and grace as to make it more acceptable to the sufferer than far larger amounts given with a grudging spirit or patronizing air. Indeed she was the true friend of the sick and poor. The true exemplar aAhe dmne chanty of the gospel, her heart and pray ers always accompanied her gifts. She gave, because she felt that she had been "bought with a price," and that she and all that she possessed, belonged to God that the faithful are bound together, through their divine Head, in the blessed communion of Saints, and foftt " if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it," But her crowning grace was patience under suffering. And in this she was long and thor oughly disciplined. For more than 20 years she was without health and often during that period was she brought to the very verge of the grave. Yet throughout all, she maintained a spirit of submission to God's will, disquieted by no doubts, sullied by no complaints. In her last sickness especially was hex patience made perfect Though that sickness was protracted through several months, and painful and trying in the extreme, she took it so patiently bore it with such sweetness of temper-HSuch cheerful ness and heavenliness of spirit such thankful ness to God, to her kind Physician and to all around her and finally welcomed its close, with such truly christian joy, that we felt it to be a high privilege to he with her, to administer to her comfort, to gather from er trembling lips and read in her bright countenance the lessons of faith, and hope, and love yea, to see, in her last hours, how significantly God sometimes showstto the living, that "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord," May 26, 1852. .
