This body assembled in the City of Baltimore, on Wednesday last, the 16th inst. - We lcam, through the Telegraph, that the Convention was organized by the appointment of the Hon.

The Couveution was fully organized, on Wed nesday evening, by the appointment of the Hon. John G. Chapman, of Maryland,-ju President, and a number of Vice Presidents, and Secreta' ries, Mr. Chapman is understood to be for FainoaE. -On Thursday morning, the Convention passed a resolution, by a large majority, to appoint a ' Committee, consisting of one from each State, to prepare and report Resolutions for its adoption, ! previous to the nomination of Candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. It is confidently statedlhat the Comnromise- arid particularly the Fugitive Slave Law will be endorsed an J approved. .The Platform will be Southern throughout After some other business the Convention adjourned to ( P.

We subjoin the greater portion of his letter Elizabethtown, June 10, 1852. Messrs. Editors : We had the nleasure. on the 9th, of hearing our Candidates for the Ex ecutive, chair At this place, and I am pleased to say that the result of Mr. Kerr's effort is perfect satisfaction in his ability to sustain successfully the platform of the Convention which nominat ed him. We are gratified that we have a champion ,so worthy of bur confidence ; John Kerr hasroven to every unprejudiced man who heard hi nf on Wednesday last, that His Right Honorable Excellency, David S. Reid, is no more in hh hands than the veriest Freshman in political science. It was a glorious day for the Whigs of -this County. It was a triumph for them which will long be remembered, which will tell in the election, and live like a rankling ulcer in tfae bosoms of the sick Democracy. Owing to the rain on the evening before the 9th, not so large a number of persons was pre sent as would otherwise have been, but the strong men of both parties were here, and the Court House was filled. The Homestead- BUI and the Puhlic Lands. Upon this point Mr. Kerr was explicit. He was directly opposed to this giving away of the pub lic land ! lie Dut himselt upon the Platform e rected by the State Convention, there he took his stand. He was for a distribution of the public lands and an equal share for North Car olina. Gov. Reid.was for depositing the pro ceeds of the sales in the Public Treasury to de fray the expenses, &c, &c, vet upon being ques tioned by Mr. Kerr, he admitted that the ex penses had exceeded the profits.' Lodd laugh ter by Mr. Kerr's1 friends. Sj r .- , Upon the Ilottd T" 'I aL.a alluded? to. ssit. tt. err came- illy, Reid for his vi he G which side to taa. Ier tion. i He " did aot consi to give his views upon ai not fully before the peopL "113d nnon Gov. did not know o drop the ques imself called on measure that waa and he did not see the necessity of doing sonow the Bill had not yet become a law." 1 ' j Mr, Kerr was for " tsoming to the point." The Governor dodged and talked a while to " Buncombe," but 'twas no use he was oblig ed to " come to the point," and he took ground finally in its faror ! No doubt Bis Exoellency aimed to take the most popular ground ; but, so far as I can learn, his view yon the Homestead Bill do not meet with the approval of a majori ty of his party in Bladen. I have heard them denounce it, both Jbefore he came among them and since he went away, and how they will act now to be consistent, I leave to His Right Hon orable Excellency to suggest (His Excellency had better consult the Sibylline books: they are to be found in Washington.) Mr. Kerr paid a high tribute to Mr. Fillmore. His opinion on this question is so well known as to render it unnecessary for me to enlarge. Free Sujfra-js. Upon this question Mr. Kerr put himself upon the platform of the Conven tion, lie said that he was satisfied with the Constitution as it is, and so had been the Peo ple of North Carolina up to 1848, whep his Ex cellency, actuated no doubt by the " political string-pullers at Washington, (the great central powers of Democracy,) disturbed it. It had been sufficient from 1835 up to the nomination of Mr. Reid, to answer all the ends of govern ment t but the Governor disturbed it, taid the question must be decided. He (Mr. K.) plant ed himself upon the Republican platform that all power is vested in the people. He was for submitting this and all other questions to the people. He desired the voice of the people upon this question. If a majority was for it then the proper functionaries should provide for the execution of the will of such majority. lie was. not afraid to trust the people his competi tor seemed to be, for he was for carrying the measure through by Legislative enactment. Mr. Kerr called upon Gov. Reid to say " why it was that he was not in favor of abolishing property qualifications for officers, and why he did not propose the question of Free Suffrage when he was for go many years a Senator in the State Legislature ?" Gov. Reid, " Why did you not propose to a bolish the property qualification ?" (Tremen dous applause for Mr. Kerr.) Gov. Reid also said that " with the same propriety that Mr. Kerr asked mc why I did not propose the a mendments to the Constitution in the State Leg islature, I might ask Mr. K. why he did not pro pose them : ihe reason why I did not (said the Governor) propose Free Suffrage while I was in the Legislature, was, that I was not in the right place." Mr. Kerr. ""Then, Governor, if you were not in the proper place whileQki the Legislature to propose it, the Legislature vcannot be now the proper place to Tect the amendment ! How do you reconcile that? At one time you say that the only mode of changing the Constitution is through the Legislature, and in the next place you say that you were not m the proper place, while a member of the Legislature, to propose these amendments ! Please explain yourself to the people they are anxious to know." Gov. Reid, "I wished to do so when I came before the people." Mr. Kerr. "And so you have come back to "my proposition that this question should be sub mitted to the people !" (Tremendous applause. ) Upon the Tariff, Mr. Reid in the course of his remarks said, that "Democrats had ever held the propriety of raising a revenue upon ad valorem principles," and were always in favor of a "rigid construction of the Constitution." 1 Mr. Kerr. "Now, Governor, I jant you to be candid and tell these people (as I know you will,) whether Congress has the power to pass a Pro tective Tariff." I ? Gov. Reid. (Excited.) "Congress does many things injudiciously 6uch an act would be per nicious." Mr. Kerr. "But that is not to the point. I have asked you, Gov., in plain terms, whether such an act would be Constitutional? These people wish to know. Let us be candid I" Gov. Reid. "I believe such an act would be Constitutional, but it would be iniquiiov !" Great applause, at which his Excellency looked pale. I am sorry that I cannot extend my observa tions so as to give you my notes in full. It is sufficient to say that we were well pleased with our man, and while I wish him the success his eminent ability merits, and bespeak for him a right round majority at the election, I cannot but sympathize with his diminutive Excellency, in the inequality of the contest; and as' a friend, I would advise him by all means, to make his preregrination8 in a directly opposite line to Mr. Kerr's. There are several important points in this discussion, gf which it will be well enough for the people to take notice. ' It will be seen, in the first place, that, after considerable dodging. Gov. Reid was forced to admit, that the Legislature was not the proper place for proposing amend ments to the ConslUutioh, and that they should be submitted to the People ? and farther, in ef- feet, that, it was pnly when he became a Candid ate for'Governoiy that he found oot how glorious anhing"Freo" Suffrage" was 1 This latter ad mission verifies what wo have repeatedly assert ed, and presents a beautiful commentary upon the motives which impelled "his Excellency" to make his strike for the rights of "the poor man." Again : Gov. Reid, it will be perceived, also declared himself in favor of that monstrous in iquity, the Homestead BUI a measure that hns been justly denounced by the entire Press of North Carolina as a piratical invasion of the rights of the old States and a wanton and ou -rageous waste of the Public Domain. We call upon the people of the State to mark well this avowal. What has the "Standard" to say to it .' lhat paper, the "Wilmington Journal," and other locofoco prints, have denounced the mea sure in no measured terms. Will they endeavor to cover over Gov. Rcid's declaration in its favor ? "His Excellency" was also force4 to admit the constitutionality of a Protective Tariff. We would respectfully enquire of the "Standard," if this is the "Democratic" doctrine ? BEAR THESE THINGS IN MIND ! David S. Reid has voted invariably against the distribution of the proceeds of the Public lands amongst the States, thereby contributing to deprive North Carolina of a largo amount which has been squandered, in one way or ano ther, by the General Government, and which could have been used to spread the blessings of education and improcements, moral and physical, throughout our State 1 j When Wake Forest College was in pecuniary distress and applied to borrow a few thousand Dollars from the Literary Fund, Mr. Reid voted against lending it ! It is now an Institution which does honor to North Carolina. How do those men who have devoted so much of their means and labor to foster this cherished Seminary of learning, relish so niggard a regard for an object which they have held so near at heart ? On the 40th page of the Senate Journal for 1840-'41, wo find the following: "A bill to exempt all White males under 21 years from working on any public road in tht State, and from serving as overseers on the same, was taken up. Mr. Albright moved that the bib be postponed indefinitely, upon which question, Mr. McDiarmid demanded the Yeas and Nays." Davul S. Reid voted tea ! How beautifully consistent this with the idea of his being so de voted a friend of popular rights ! And how lov ingly he now calls upon these men who have given three years of this hard service to the State, whilst they were without tlie privUege oj voting now they have a vote, to cast it for him for Governor 1 i We spoke, in the last campaign, of his vote in favor of "hiring out poor neighbor white men." The circumstances were these : WheD the Legislature of 1840 met, the Whigs, who had a majority in that body, were determined to test the sincerity of the locofocos in raising the ob jections they did, to the law approved by Gen. Harrisom A bill was introduced to repeal that part of our law which gave the pewer to the Court to hire out a white man, and it passed, an 1 as amended, can be found on the 213th page of Iredell's Revisal. And pray, did Mr. Reid vote for the repeal of this odious law ? His sympathies had been greatly aroused, during the campaign which had then just ended, in fa vor of "poor neighbor white men" at the Xorth, who were affected by' the law Gen. II. approved, but did he shed any tears over the condition oi the "poor neighbor men" of North Carolina, who might be "hired out" under this law, even to "a free negro?" Let the Journal speak. Oh page 283 of the Senate Journal, 1840-41, is this entry': "The Engrossed bill entitled a bill relating to vagrants was taken up, read the second time and passed." leas 27, Nays 10. Mr. Reid voted. NAY. The bill was then put on its third reading (page 284) and Reid again voted NAY ! Ticiee then, did he show his hostility to this bill to re peal a law which Democrats themselves had de nounced as a disgrace to our Statute Book ! And now he comes again before the same peo ple, whose sympathies were appealed to on this subject against the Whig Candidate in 1840, and asks renewed countenance and support? Does he suppose that all these things are to be forgotten forever, under his loud professions f present love for the people ? Will he not par don those who begin to think that acts are a bet ter guarantee of sincerity than words ? THE INCENTIVE TO UNION. The locofocos are holding Ratification meet ings all over the Country, and affect vast joy at the nominations that have been made. In New York, a monster meeting as all New York meetings are was held. The Hunkers and Free Soilers met and mingled tears of joy. Dix and John Van Buren, the two Free-Soil leaders, gave and received the fraternal embrace to Dick inson, and Marcy, and McKeon, and the happy union was blessed by Mike Walsh and Capt. Rynders. Mr. Dix, the Free-Soiler, announced the principle which resolved such discordant materials into one harmonious whole. "Differ (he said) as we may and do about men, we are all united in the determination to regain power." That's another turn of the old phrase, which Mr. Calhoun rendered immortal : "the cohesive power of publio plunder." The hope of plun dering the public treasury is the incentive to the union, Since Van Buren's time, when Swartwout & Co. pocketed the public money by thousands and tens of thousands, they have nbt had a full sweep at the public crib. But good times, they evidently hope, are coming again. Whig Candidates. Dr. John H. Hill is the Whig candidate for the Commons in Brunswick. Col. John W, Cameron is a Whig candidate for the Commons in Richmond. We are requested to state that, in the Obitu ary notice of Dr. Josiah O. Watson, in our last, "Georgetown" ought to have been inserted as the place wliere ho located to practice medicine, instead of "Charleston." The abusive speech of. Senator Douglas at the asmngton wity uatincauonlmeeting gives new reason for rejoicing thai heid not receive the nomination of the Democratic Convention. A man who can be so wantonly intolerant and in decent towards Lis political opponents as to in dulge in such low, dirty, pot-house abuse, as he employed upon the occasion, docs'nt deserve the countenance' of the respectable portion even of hi! own party. We hope it will be a long- time before he wins his waV to the confidence and respect of his own political friends: Douglas has taken an prly occasion to place himself in the public vieti as a. seeker afteij'fu ture honors.

The commanding .position of this great republic, which extends from ocean to occai, with pecu liar interests in the various 1 isthituses of Pa nama, Nicaragua, Tehuantepec, and every other thoroughfare across the continent, requires that we should not only assert but maintain this de claration. I will say further, these great prin ciples of national policy canj never be carried out under a Whig administration, Laughter and applause. ' ' ' ' Douglas has thus shown himself to be a courtier of popularity and seems ready to make liberal bids to acquire it. The efforts of his friends to secure him the nomination It the late Conven tion in Baltimore were unremitting; and so bold and assuming was tkeir demeanor, that a general combination against him on the part of the friends of other candidates seems to have been tacitly formed.- His election to the Presidency would be regarded at this time with alarm by the considerate portion of his party ; but what the conditio of the progressive "tem ocracy" may be four years hence, it is not for us now to conjecture. HOW PIERCE RECEIVED IT ! The Boston Correspondent of the " Giraffe" thus describes the manner in which Mr. Pierce received the tidings of his nomination by the lo cofoco Convention : "This is a gay week in modern Athens. The agony is over on the Democratic platform and our neighbor Frank Purse (yankeo par lance) is ye candidate. If ever a m'an was sud denly taken out of his boots by a political coup ifetat, Fran R s one of rm-1 ftr?f "Folk was hit about as suddenly ; but Irkk was a far great er man, a better known man, than our friend Frank Pierce. The scene following the an nouncement of-the nomination is very rich, and I'll give you an idea of it Frank Pieree is a lawyer doing business in Concord, New Hamp shire some fifty miles from Boston. Concord is the capital of New Hampshire not as largo as Raleigh a pretty dull place, the Lord knows. Frank's father was Governor of that State years ago. Frank has been a member of the Legisla ture : twice sent to Congress-: once to tne Sen ate. He 'resigned' in the Senate; too heavy business for Frank volunteered to go to Mexi co during the war ; and some how or other got to be a real General I He was where fighting was going on, if he did'nt fight any himself; and I believe Frank was wounded where, I am not able to say ; whether it was by falling out of a baggage-wagon down a eellar or, like the gallant Cushing, shin-skinned by tumbling into a ditch ! can't say. Of late, Frank has been settling disputeslawing at Concord. Last week, Mr. Pierce and lady were registered at the Tremont House : On Saturday afternoon our gallant friend, Capt. John Olmstead, of the. Tremont, ordered a team and sent Frank and his lady ont to Mount Auburn one of the most enchanting burial places in the world, Pere la chaise ofParish hardly excepted. While quietly contemplating the abode of "dust to dust" and perhaps dreaming upon the futili- I 1 U . I .

Our U. S. Marshal, Barnes, a 'buzzum friend' of Frank's, as soon as he got the news, rushed up to the Tremont House 'whore's Frank Purse, Capt Olmstead !' 'Gone to Mount Auburn with his wife.' 'The d 1!' says Barnes, rushing for a stable where he got his horse started five miles in fifteen minutes rushed into the Cemetry up one avenue and down another around, across, hopping over the buried Divines and detffeifcitary and civil chieftains, throwing summersets over elabora ted vaults, cenotaphs, mausoleums and cost ly piles of marble, bronze, and iron tombs and statuary, the indefatigable Courier found his man Frank and his wife were standing by the grave of Spurzeim, (the great phrenologist, bu ried there) Frank looked at Barnes, all stream ing with perspiration. "Hallo, Barnes 1 what's up ?" "Frank V exclaims Barnes, with a puff, puff, puffing utterance; 'who the deuce do you think's nominated at Baltimore for President ?" "Can't say,' says Frank ; Cass, I suppose.' "Frank Purse, of New Hampshire, by G .'

' ' " We. learn, from the; "Star," that the Com mencement exercises at this institution, last week, were highly interesting and encouraging to the friends of education. A large concourse of people attended on both Wednesday and lhursday ; and," so far as we have heard, all were pleased. ' ; The speech of Gen. Saunders before the Lit erary Societies,' on the History and Resources of North Carolina, was delivered on Wednesday. We have heard different accounts of hjs effort, but all concur, we believe, in the opinion, that Ltteeature is not the Speaker's forte. On Wednesday night at a large and res pectable meeting of the friends of Education, .held in the College Chapel, impromptu. addresses were delivered by Gen. Saunders, Rev.

We willingly make this correction, though it j WHERE I'O THE EGGS COME FROM? -does not impair the force of 'what we have; There are daily some one or two hundred bar charged in general terms: that Gen Saun-' rels? of eSs receired in this? city by the Erie ders cannot attend to his duties on this Com- ! Railroad and probably as many more by the . . , , , ; various other roads and Hudson river. One mission, when he goes off on his political cru- ; hundred bbls. of eggs were received by the Em sade to assist Gov. P.cid.

This is a curious fact in other; for if his future convenience is to be ! fh h'uTi Vhc ,T? trade" Cincinnati eggs consulted in the premises, there is no saying when the public business will be dispatched. By all means, howiever, let the Ex-Minister and present Commissioner take time to meet Mr. Kerr ; and even that Senatorship, next Winter, (if his friends should carry the Legis lature,) will not compensate- him for the drub bing he will receive on the occasion. J&gg- John Van Bui-en. who has given in his adhesion to the Democratic nominees, is report ed in the New York Herald as saying: " Ho would say that he most unqualifiedly approved of that plat form for this election. ' He was prepared to stand with them on the adop tion of all the laws of Congress, including even the Fugitive Slave Law. He was perfectly willing every body should obey that law who would, and every body sustain it who could. For the present, at all events, these laws were to stand and be unimpaired." This is frank in John. He submits for. this election, fie knows Pierce his father knows him. They all understand another. They are all Northern men with Southern feelings, until the election is over 1 , They have all tasted the flesh-pots, and know the savor thereof. " The truth is, this doctrine of Mr. Kerr, that a bare majority of the people at the polls have a right to force a two-thirds vote in the Assem bly, is worse than Dorrism, &c. The " Standard" continues to pervert Mr. Kerr's position. That gentleman holds tl at the voice of a majority of the sovereign peoo'e a : the Polls ought to be respected and cai ried out by the Legislature ; but has nowhere spo ken of that body be'iQg forced to do so. " Worse than i Dorrism," T How is this? A few years back, the '1 Standard" spoke of Thom as W. Dorr as an injured Patriot and his cause as sacred and just ! j The "Montgomery (Ala'.) Advert'eer' gives the following account of the manner in which the nomination of Pierce was received in that quarter s . j "The nomination jof Gen. Pierce as the can didate of the Democratic party, came with as tounding effect on: many of our Democratic friends. Many swore Ithat it was not true ; that no such man existed ; that it was all a Whig lie, &c. On finding out that it was a fact past pray ing for, and had to go down, they give a grunt, gulph,andswallowed it, and then swore worse than "our army did in Elanders," that he was the greatest Statesman and most gallant warrior of the nation, inquiring, meanwhile, sotto voce of their mends, "who; in "(a place of un pleasant temperature not to be mentioned to ears i polite) "ever heard of him before ?" i.'xvid ANDdosPHX&etKicMnona Wniz.' in aliusion to the vote of Gov.

The doctrines of Joseph constitute a shield for Democratic Abolition ism every where. The New Gold ' Dollar.

JV. 3" F.vjiress: "I awoke and found myself a Lord !" exclaim ed the younger Lyttleton on the morning of his father's death. With eoal reason may Genl. Pierce indulge in an apostrophe over the elec tric process by which he has become famous. He dined in Boston plain Franklin Pierce, not dreaming of any chango in his state. He sup ped at night the nominee of his party for the Presidency. In the forenoon he had quietly sauntered through the streets of the New En gland metropolis without exciting observation ; in the evening ho was 'the observed of all ob servers" unable to put one foot tranquilly be fore the other for the press of people arohnd him and compelled to separate himself by a stealthy effort from the throngs which gathered to take note of him. In the early hours of that eventful dayihe was universally recognized by his name with which he had been baptized : before the following midnight he was metamorphosed into "the Y'oung Hickory of the Granite Hills" Such are some of the mutations of life I IVterslAtrg Int. EOf There is a great deal of mystery about that letter said to have been written by Gen'l Pierce in reply to Mr. R. G. Scott's circular. It certainly was said, that the letter had been writ-' ten, that it had been received, and published. We were certain that we were told these things. Other gontlemen assure us that they heard the same things; What has become of the letter? If not forthcoming, what becomesof that boast of the Richmond Enquirer, that the responses to Mr. Scott's letter constituted the Democratic Platform? What becomes of the Platform iteelf, without the response of the nominee? Richmond Whig. A Narrow Escape from being a Candidate. The Trenton State Gazette says that Commo dore Stockton had a narrow escape from being the Democratic condidate for the Presidency.- On Friday, a number of the States, among which was Virginia, becanie tired of voting for the old candidates, and satisfied that it was necessary to go for some new man, and they determined to votefor any one whom the. Virginia delega tion might agree upon. "That delegation dis cussed the question on Friday night, And till an aapIt 1-iAiir itn -1 f n T 1 a v mnniin,.
