We find the foregoing extract in a Communi cation in the last "Standard," over the signa ture of "C," professing to treat of "Constitution al Amendments by Convention and by the Legisla ture," but in reality being nothing more than a covert defence of Gen. Saunders, and other loco foco leaders, for their vote in the last Legisla ture in favor of submitting the question to the people to say, whether they desire an open Con vention. .And in what an unenviable position does this friend of Gen.

For North Carolina, we ore ashamed to have to re cord it, that prominent men, men possessing the confidence of the people of any party, legislators entrusted with the protection of the public in terests, should be driven to confess that they had made a mere foot-ball of the Constitution, in order to accomplish party purposes in order to put their political opponents "to the test !"

On matters of the most re- i rr.tii.al interest they do but nortray the conduct of an administration of the Government of which for near two years I have been a mem ber. On all others they but reiterate the doc trines and recommendations held by its chief in important public communications. Should the people of the United States give their sanction to the nominations ot your con vention, so far as I shall be invested with au thority, a faithful adherence to these doctrines may be expected. 1 therclore accept the distinction, so honora bly tendered, with a grateful heart, but with unaffected diffidence. It is a satisfaction, howv. ever, to Know that the place to which l'Jtiave The newjs which wei receive from different parts of the State is indeed cheering. Our friends write, that the impression which has been made by our gallant standard-bearer, wher ever he has had an opportunity to address the people, has surpassed their most sanguine ex pectations. We must tgain, however, urge on the Whigs in every section of the State the ne cessity of ORGANizATioN-county and district or ganization. It is vain to expect that the full Whig strength will be brought out, unless there be a system of co-operaition. A deperate effort will be made by the locofocos to carry the Au gust elections. They know that much, very much, depends on them. Have our friends du ly considered this matter ? We appeal to each Whig, individually, and warn him in due time against the disastrous consequences which the loss of the Elections in North Carolina will pro duce !

Washington, June 24, 1852, Sir : I have had the honor to receive from your hands the official notice of my "unanimous nomination as the Whig candidate for the Office of President of the United States," together with "a copy of the resolutions passed by the conven- uon expressing ineir opinions upon some ot tne most prominent questions oi national policy. lnis great aistinction, conierred by a .nume rous, intelligent and patriotic body, representing millions of my countrymen, sinks deeply into tnv heart; and remembering the very eminent names which were before the convention in amical.ie competition with my own, I am made to feel, oppressively, the y- eight of responsibili tv belonging to my new position. Not having written a word to procure this distinction, 1 lost not a moment, after it had 1h;u conferred, in addressing a letter to one of vur memljers to signify what would be, at the proper time, the substance of my reply to the convention; and I now have the honor to repeat, m a more formal manner, as the occasion justly d. mauds, that I accept the nomination, with tac resolutions annexed. The political principles and measures laid down in those resolutions are so broad that but little is left for me to add. I therefore barely fuggest, in this place, that should I, by the par tialitv of my countrymen, be elevated to the 'hief Magistracy of the Union, I shall be ready, in my connexion with Uongress, to reepmmend 'r to approve of measures in regard to the man-' ijement of the public domain so as to secure an arly settlement of the same favorable to actual w-ttfers, but consistent nevertheless with a due regard to the equal rights of the whole Ameri can people in that viiat national inheritance; and also to recommend or approve ot "a single alteration i& our naturalization laws, suggested by my military experience, viz: givmg to all t'ireigners the right of citizenship who shall faithfully serve in time of war one year on board if our public ships, or in our land forces, regu- m or volunteer, on tneir receiving an nonoraoie 4'isoharge from the service. in regard to the general policy of the admin istration, if elected, I should of course look a mong those who may approve that policy for the agents to carry it into execution; and 1 should see to cultivate harmony and fraternal senti ments throughout the Whig party, without at tempting to reduce its members by proscription t" exact conformity to, my own viewsi, But I should, at the same time, bo rigorous in regard tu qualifications for office retaining and appoin ting no one either deficient in capacity or lnteg nty, or in devotion to Liberty, to the Constitu tion, and the Union.

A. UKAllA-Vl. To the Hon. J. G. Chapman, President Nation al Whig Convention. BEHOLD THE CONTRAST! The "Washington Union" declares most lusti ly that Gen. Pierce is with the South in his feel ings another "Northern man with Southern feelings," somewhat like unto Van Buren ! Hear the "Union !" That General Pierce is thoroughly with the South in his feelings, and has ever respected her constitutional rights, we have made sufficiently evident trom his own words and acyons. Now see what, a Free Soil of gan of the "un- horsed-hero" (the "New York Evening Post") has to say on this subject : "It seemed, also, as if we could hardly hope that any man would be nominated who had not taken some pains to court the favor of particu lar factions, or interests, or localities, by sacri ficing Ins own independence of feeling and opin ion. h e confess that it is not without a certain satisfaction that we see those who have stooped to those means just as successful as they deserve to be. They and their works have been swept aside at last bv the convention, with an appearance of impatient disgust at the defective claims of the very candidates for whom they have been so strenuously contending, and a man tcho did not Hunk u tcrrth iciue to ansicer Kobert G. Scott s letter, adopted with a sort of enthusiasm in their place. "The Journal of Commerce, of this morning, speaks of a private letter of Mr. Pierce, the pux- fiort of which was not intended to reach the pub ic eye, expressing his acquiescence in the Com- promise measures. "It may be that such a letter was written. It is one thing, however, to accept the Compromise, and another to pledge the influence, authority, and patronage of the Chief Magistracy to ac complish the political destruction of those by whom the measures which pass by that name were disapproved. Mr. Pierce did not, UJce Gen. Scott, if ice may believe the boasts which Scott is so fond of publicly making, procure the passage of the Compromise by Congress, He has none of the partialities of paternity to induce him to employ the influence of his office to put down free dom of speech on this topic." Mark this language, reader, and then turn to the vile charges of the locofoco organ of this StAte-, against Gen. Scott of infidelify, to the South, and keep down, if you can, those feelings of indignation which should be aroused in every generous breast ! it not in Gath I What stronger evidence could be offered against the propriety of tinkering with the Constitution in the General Assembly ? This apologist of Gen. Saunders "and others," so much lauded by the Editor of the "Standard," says further, that, although the General did vote to submit the question of a Convention to the people, he yet "might well have done so," "re serving to himself the right of voting against it at the polls, and in the Legislature, should he be a-member." Here it is unblushingly suggested that the purpose was to play off a fraud on the people of the State. The people are to be grave ly consulted at the ballot-box, as to their wish tBc people are to be led to suppose that they have but to state their grievances, to have them remedied the people are to have the word of promise to the ear all this is to be hypocriti cally done, in order "to put the Whigs to the test"--and yet, after all the hopes excited, pro mises made, and expense incurred, these dear a lovers of the people arc to fold themselves their legislative robes, laugh at the people's ca lamity, and mock at the people's fears ! And this V lhe excuse of a self nty led Democratic apolo gist, for the course of self-styled Democratic lea ders, endorsed and approved by a self-styled De mocratic Editor! John Kerk occupios no such Pharisaical po sition. He does not wish to excite hopes and expectations that he don't intend to fulfil. In his willingness to consult the people, ho declares his readiness to bow in obedience to their re corded will. We call on the freemen of the State to ponder and reflect J6r " Convinced that harmony and good will between the different quarters of our broad Country is essential to the present and future interests of the Republic, .and with d devotion to those interests that can know no South and no Jvortn, l shall neither countenance.nor tol xrate ant sedition, disorder, faction, OR re sistance to 'This Law 6k Yni UnioSt, on Air PRETEXT, IJf ANY PART OF THE LAND." Gen. Scott's letter of acceptance.' Think you that a man who talks in this way. arid who has" nevef deceived his countrymen, will not execute the Fugitive Slave law faith1 fully ? It is language, too, which the " FillibUs ters" will hardly stomach. It takes in at one " full swoop" that entire class of seditionists and disunionists, North and South, who have been foryears pushing us on to bloodshed and ruin ! Let the friends of law and the: Union stand by the Old Hero of Chippewa; Dorrism has no sympathy for him. LET OUR FRIENDS BEWARE I We have taken occasion betore to warn our friends against the falsehoods of the telegraphic correspondent of the "Standard." The misrep resentation of Mr. Mangum's speech which he sent this paper, in the absence of the Editor, and for which we discharged him, is sufficient to show what will be the character of the des patches he will attempt hereafter to impose on tho Public.

Free Suffrage, and" attempted to vindicate himself for proposing this alteration of the Constitution by Legislative enactment, upon the ground that the present Constitution had provided this mode of alteration as well as by a Convention, and that he thought it the best way. Upon this part of his speech the Governor was very lame, be cause, in the advocacy of it, he was compelled to admit that he was opposed to a majority of the people deciding any question of Constitu tional reform -thereby repudiating the old land marks! of Republicanism. Altogether, the Gov ernor, Although he may mean well, is far from being such an expositor of. the Constitution as the people of the State would desire. Being sick on this occasion and retiring as soon as he had finished his speech, Mr. Kerr, with the true declared he would not reply to the Governor in his absence. The crowd dispersed, all loud in the praises of JOHN KERR as a noble fellow, fit to be Governor of the State, and sorry that Mr. Reid was sick ! AN EYE WITNESS. DR.

She was perfectly resigned, and breathed her last sweetly, in the full exercise of a triumphant faith in her Re deemer, Mrs. Bridges was beloved by a large pircle of relatives and acquaintances; but a mysterious Providence willed to sever all he ties that bound her to earth, and called her in the meridian of her life, in the midst of her use fulness and prosperity, to leave seven inter esting children to mourn their loss, to enjoy the presence of herFather in the courts of Heaven.

Y.) or State should no 'more be considered as commit ted to the course of the " Tribttne" on the sub ject of slavery, than the predilections of its Ed itor for the Maine Liquor Lav, the solidarity of the people, or the revelations of spiritual knockers, can be adduced to shew that the Whigs are te totallers, interventionists, or believers in rapping mediums." 'I therefore accept the distinction, so honorably tendered, with a grateful heart, but with unaffected diffidence. It is a satisfaction, however, to know that the place to which I have been nominated is but secondary, and that for the first office the Convention have proposed a citizen of tried patriotism and virtue, long and familiarly acquainted with public affairs and public men : a safe and sagacious counsellor, who has well fulfilled every trust heretofore committed to his hands ; and who has illustra? ted our history by eminent public services;" Thus speaks William A. Graham, (in his let1 ter of acceptance,) of Winfield Scott 1 The Whigs of the State know Mr. Graham too well, to suppose for a moment, that he would endorse cmy man's soundness. Unless he knew him to be so. Wheh did he ever deceive them ? What Whig in the State belidve that he would pen such a paragraph, if ho had reason to believe that Gen. Scott is under the malign influence of any man? Every day brings additional proof of the falsehood of this charge against the patriot, who, for forty odd ye&rs, has served his country, and thrown such a halo of glory over her history t The Richmond Republican says : "On many a battle field Gen; Scott's plume has waved high in air, but never has he occupied as proud, lofty and commanding a position as now, when he stands on the Compromise platform of Millard j 1 lUmore." FOR THE REGISTER, Discussion at pittsboro'. According to appointment, Messrs. Kerr and Reid inade their appearance at Pittsboro' on the 24th inst. Mr. Reid being quite unwell, Mr. Kerr spoko first. To us in Chatham, who had known Mr. Kerr before, it was no matter of sur prise that he exhibited on this occasion all the powers of his great mind in debate and all the fervid eloquence of one of North Carolina's most gifted, sons-. We had known him before in his contest with Venable, and knowing him, gave him-in that election 574 majority. This speech here un the occasion alluded toj has filled his friends with enthusiasm for hini again. He advocated all the principles which have marked his -speeches in other places, and, in addition thereto, having for the first time learned who the Whig Candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency are, poured forth a stream of eloquence upon the characters of those distin guished gentlemen rarely excelled in our Coun try, prefacing his remarks upon Gen. Scott, however, with the unconditional proviso th.lt he be for the Compromise; His eulogy ot tiraham surpassed any ettortot the kind I have ever listened to and, indeed the whole of this part of his speech for beauty of conception and felicity of expression, is con ceded by all to have placea John r.err in tne rank with the first orators of the day. It is not unknown, perhaps, to the public, that near Uiis village, an Ex-Charge to Portugal resides, and it would not be drawing too heavily upon public credulity to state, that he was pre sent at this speaking with a budget of papers sticking out from his coat pocket, and that un fortunately for him, some blows dealt by Mr. Kerr, while speaking of the treachery of John Tyler, fell with unmitigated force upon the head of the Ex-Charge. There was no design in this on the part of Mr. Kerr it seemed to be the legitimate consequence of the subject discussed. He spoke of renegade Whigs in unmeasured terms and unwittingly gave the Ex-Charge the most severe castigation he has ever received. There were roars ot laughter, and instantly an eyes turned towards the seat occupied by this neophyte What made it particularly hard upon the Ex-Charge was the fact that Mr. Kerr said, if any gentleman bad changed his political opin ions from a conviction ot errors he ought to be admired for his candor ; but, said he, a mere changeling. man who went over tothe other side and immediately thereat ter was seen onenng himself in market for office augured badly. This was hitting the nail upon the head ; for this tylerieed gentleman from Portugal is the Democratic Candidate for the Senate in Chat ham, and looked very like what the fellow said the Elephant thought,. "Is this the Elephant. Mr.' said he; "yes sir,' was the reply. "Well? welll" said he, "what do you reckon he thinks, when he knows he's the Elephant I" Mr. Kerr concluded ms speech ot two nours amidst shouts of applause. Next came Governor Reidj who, after stitihg that he was sick, com menced a reply in which he attempted to show that Gen. Pierce and Mr, King were all that the Country could desire for the first offices of the Government. I had expected he- would have touched upon Gen. Pierce's military career-, but of this he said very little, simply mentioning Mexico dnrinf tht. wflr.

Jan. 9, 1852. wtlA S TI The deceased was endowed with much thatwas beautiful and bright in the character of man Proud in his manners, but gentle in his feelings, he was always unselfish ; reserved in his inteiS course with the world, yet warm hearted and devoted in friendship ; diffident and retiring, yet highly intellectual and cultivated, and pos sessing an impulsive generosity which never turned awav from those who needed his prote& tion or assistance. But the most beautiful traits of his character shone in domestic life, where; as a son and a brother, his heart ever exhibited its most attractive qualities ; and the remembrance of his excellence in this respect will tend to cheer the gloom his early death will cast around the home of doting parents, and fond brothers and sisters especially as his calm and peaceful end gives them an assurance, that if his manly form now juoulders with its kindred dust, his spirit is in the bosoni Of his God. -Communicated. The Husketh Heirs. ABOUT thirty-five years ago, Nathaniel Ilusk eth, (a one armed nian) removed from the couuty of Granville. North Carolina, to the county of Logan, Kentucky, where he aiea, leaving only one child, whose name was Isham Husketh. Isham afterwards became a Lunatic, and died in the Asy lum at Lexington, Kentucky, leaving an estate of about $5000, which passed from the hands of his Committee into the hands Of his Administrated. Isham left no heirs nearer than first cousins. At the instance of some of said heirs in North Caroli na and Tennessee, as an attorney, I iifstituted suit and obtained a decree in the Circuit Court for Simpson county; to distribute the estate. Some of the heirs have received theif portions. The fol lowing persons, who are proven to be hefts, have not applied for their portions, vi : Lewis H. Kittle, Isham M. Kittle, Prudence H: Kittle, Nan cy Carroll, William Husketh, Jesse Husketh, and Thomas Husketh, Now, unless the above named persons shall apply for their respective portions, on or before the first of September next, their por tions will be decreed to the other heirs who have applied for and received their portions; Any of the above pel-sons applying for their por tions, must identity themselves as the same per sons named in the decree ; and to enable them to do so in a legal manner, either myself or P. H. Boisseau, Clerk of the Simpson Circuit Court, (Kentucky, will give the necessary lniorm&tion upon application. Mr, jmsseau nas actea as agent for the others who nave urawn their portions,- and indeed in procuring the decree. I take this method to notify the heirs with the assent of the Judge of the Cburt, having been successful in finding out a portion of the heirs in Tennessee; by similar publications in the Nash ville papers.
