MIiller, Esq., Whig Elector Bor the State, -will address the Whig Meeting in tfiford, next week, by invitation of the "Scott bund Graham Club" of that place the Whig Meeting to be held in Louisburg, the week af- IS IT FAIR ORrtJST'f The "Cfommerciay' gives nearly two columns of comment to the letter of Gov. Graham, re questing that his nalme should be no longer kept at the head of that paper for the Vice Presiden cy, in connection with the name of Daniel Web ster. M .. Whilst some of the remarks of the "Commer cial" exhibit a proper spirit towards itff recent political associates, we must be permitted to eay, in all candor and respect, that there are others which are unfair, and if the principles contain ed in them be established, there will be an end to every thng like party organization : and when we saV this, we do not mean party, "form ed and kept together by the cohesive power of public plunder, but party formed on ptinciples and exerting itself to carry out principles. The Editor says "Mr. Graham is correct in suDDOsiner the "de claration, of principles" at the Baltimore Con vention, meets tne approbation ot the country and while the Candidates may feel bound to make the priciples, thus declared, to be the rule of their conduct it is a matter of history that the Convention itself we mean that portion of it which nominated Scott feels bound to do noth ing of the sort. Though this wonderful anoma ly might not have arisen by the action or con sent ot either ot the nominees, it is sufficient tor the South to know that it exists the offspring oi pernay ana iraua. " Here then the "Commercial" admits that the Whig declaration of , principles laid down at Baltimore "meets the Approbation of the Coun try, and we conclude, ofLcourse, the approba tion of the Editor himself, that the Candidates, Scott and Graham, having endorsed those prin ciples, "will be bound to make them the rule of their conduct," but it further declares that it is "a matter of history that the Convention it self (we mean that portion of it ichich nominated Scott,) feels bound to do no such thing." Now, if the 'fCommercial," and we speak with much respect, would but refer to the facts as they exist, it will be able to escape from this di lemma or absurd process of reasoning into which There were 226 votes for the Platform and t ut 66 against it. On the first ballot Gen. Scott received 131 votes. then it of hii friends voted for the Plat- Jollows that 65 There is perfidjr and fraud I He will be un-1 der the Seward influence 1" Had these same Scott j Delegates 131 in number refused to sustain Fillmore or Webster, after a nomination, would not the Editor have been the first to open upon them the thunders of his indignation ? Ah ! this is indeed a strange world we live in. " What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander" no longer ! FALSEHOOD OF THE 'STANDARD' EXPO SED IN ADVANCE. ; In his last issue, the Editor of the " Standard" concludes an editorial on Gov. Graham's letter to the " Wilmington Commercial," in the fol lowing words : " We shall lay this letter before our readers in our next with some comments thereupon. We shall also, in reply to inquiries frompther States, produce the proof from the record, that Mr. Graham voted in 1834, while a member of our State Assembly, against giving to the people the Tight to elect their Governor! ' Now, so far from this being1 the truth, we pro ceed to show that Gov. Graham was in favor of amending the Constitution so as to give the elec tion of Governor to the people. On Friday, Jan. 10th, 1834, Mr. Baird, from Rowan, introduced in the Senate sundry Reso lutions on the subject of amending the State Constitution. They were referred to a Select Committee of two from each Judicial District. They had leave to sit during the Sessions of the Senate, and, in a short time, through their Chairman, Mr. Baird, reported : " a Bill to pro vide for ascertaining the sense of the People re lative to a Convention for amending the Consti tution of the State." One of the provisions in this iill was to pro vide for the election of Governor by the people The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 31 yeas to 30 nays. j On the next day (January 11th,) th4 bill was taken up in the House of Commons, and was indefinitely postponed, by a vote of 64 yeas to 59 nays. On the 53d ballot Scott received 159, Webster 21, shewing that at orm lUmore 112, least 28 of the original friends of Webster and i . Fillmore had gone over to Scott. Ihis vote se- cured Scott's jnomination. State after State, which had before gone against him, marched into line approved his nomination and made it unanimous 1 , We would ask here a question or two : 1. Does the "Commercial" believe that the 65 Scott men, who voted for the platform of prin ciples, were practising a fraud, and did not mean to make it; "a rule of their conduct?" 2. Does the "Commercial" intend to charge h, and will attend the Mass Meeting in Hills- that the 28 Fillmore and Webster men, -who, on pie at as many other plac.es as life professional pgigements will permit. REGISTER DURING THE SESSION. We shall be pleased to furnish the Register, luring the ensuing Session of the Legislature, it the following rates, viz : ' ' For the Semi-Weekly 75 cents, '' Weekly. 50 " The approaching. Session will be one of great Importance, arid it shall be our object to furnish full aid accurate reports of i.ts Proceedings, De lates, THE CHARACTEB OyIKRCE'S VOTE Otf THE BROOKE BILL. It was practical abolitionh Mr. Brooke had moved into the- District of Columbia. In 1834, he owned two slaves, JJirl. and Alfred, he de sired to carr into the iJDistrict, but which he could not do under the general law, without a special enactment of Congress. A bill was in troduced to enable him t do this. It had been repeatedly done in othejeaaes,; and there was no reason why Mr. Brooje should be denied the privilege. The biU wa Supported by a large majority of each House Ml Congress. Slavery existed in the District of Columbia. Pierce vo ted against thif hill at every stage of its pro gression company with the rankest abolitionists in Congress. John Q. Adams, who was de nounced by the locofocos of the South, as the bitterest enemy of slavery, did nothing more on this occasion, than was done by Franklin Pierce. What was the effect of this vote ? "Would not Pierce have given 6tn.is.tijr.soW on ajbill in fa- 'vor of any one else ? Wa it not to all intents and purposes the ideclaration of a principle, that all slaves should te-. excluded from the District, who were not carried there when the owners moved into it ? Did it not amount to a decla ration that no man (residing in the District should be permitted to purchase a slave and carry him into it, under any circumstances? Did it not amount to a declaration that Congress should abolish slavery in the District, if it possessed the power ? This very vote of Pierce is consid ered by the abolitionists as the brightest feather in his cap. It is used at the North to rally the Freesoilers to his suport. Can the South lend Araid to his promotia to tjhe Presidency, with such evidence before liem jof his unsoundness on the subject of slavery ? !Let our friends read this vote to the people tnd shew them the effect of it. Let them charge this vote npon the "Yankee Freesoiler." "hy does 1 not the "Standard" publish the act and the vote upon it? 4 t The THE GAME TfE "PLAY. locofbco presses do; not and dare not discuss the principles of the Whig Party as laid down in their Platform j adopted at Balti more but their whole system! of tactics consists in violent denunciations of Gen. Scott and the Iff most unfair and unscrupulous misrepresenta tions of his opinions. Their object is to arouse public prejuiice against him, although he has served his c untry as faithfully and added, as' much glory to her arms as any man livingT They are n t only busy in endeavoring to fix on the public mind the infamous and false charge that he is under the evil influence of Setoard, but they have boldly charged him with cowardice, and a few days since a locofoco member of the House of Representatives so de graded himself as to assert that he gained his victories in Mexico " by an understanding with Santa Anna !" Did the one who uttered the calumny think of the fact that he was thereby, in making such an assertion endeavoring to de grade the whole American Army? Go on, ye revilers I William gative ! ature ad- bn which Baird's ALL FOR SCOTT. At a recent meeting of the Columbus (Ohio) Chippewa Club, the Journal of that city says, that "after the conclusion of Mr. Jones' speech there was a loud cry for "Shields." Thereup on, one of our citizens of that name came for ward, and made an animating speech. ; He vo ted for Cass in 1848, but could not go: such a miserable stick of a candidate as Franklin Pierce. His course had shown that he was vi olently opposed to the protection of American industry, and to the improvement of otjr rivers and harbcrs. He went;for the gallant? and glo rious Scott, and the measuijis of poliefy which he advocated." J j From the Ohio State Journal, (Colunbus.) PtSH! oi Correspondence of the Register. MoNTcoMEav, (Ala.) Aug. 25, 1852. Mr. Gales : Presuming that you would like to hear something of politics from this country, other than newspaper accounts, I propose to give you a few items upon which your readers can rely as being entirely accurate. Of course you all concede ixhis State to the loeofocos, from the fact of its never having, cast her vote for a Whig -but her majority for that party has not al ways been the same. I will not pretend to say that Scott will carry this State, at the coming election ; Pierce and King are as certain to re ceive the electoral vote of Alabama as Scott and Graham are to carry North Carolina no more or less ; and, of course, that is a settled fact. No one here, for a moment, thinks that the gal lant and good old North State will ever go for the New Hampshire Yankee a man who is ev idently of Lilliputian mind and principles nev er having in any way distinguished himself, save when his generosity exceeded itself in pre senting the 'finger mouthed" boy'with that cent, wherewith to purchase a stick ot candy. The usually " Harmonious Democracy" of this State has certainly never been in such a state o extreme disaffection as st- the present time. Pierce's nomination was at first hailed with seeming enthusiasm. They swallowed him with apparent gusto) at the time ; but when the reaction came, whonj the great; Franklin became known, those who had gulped him down with so much relish, found, to their sorrow, that they had taken an Emetic, and that, owing to the weakness of their stomachs, it could not remain; so out it was cast. Since the developments of Pierce's abolitionism have been made, there is manifest dissatisfaction at his nomination among the honest democracy. There are many honest democrats in this State, who are determined to support the brave avid patriotic Scott in prefer encefto the GraniteJiearted ! Pierce, The una nimity of the Whigs is a matter of great gratu lation. A few, it is true who have worked with tho enemy on former ; occasions, and call themselves Whigs, but who are, in fact, locos at heart, seem indisposed to stipport Scott ; but it is consoling to know that fihey are few in num- the Column ! rA friend frim one of ber, and would do the Wh ISf" The Editor of the "Standard" essays to w witty and facetious at the expense of '.the Scott and Graham Club"! of this place.

The Poet says, "ikn must serve their time at everv trade. Save eensureCritc, they are ready made !"

Think you the Old General, who bearsSi scars upon his peiison which he got in fighting for his coun try, would not heed this timely admonition from an old jcompanion in arms ?

Graham voted in the ne On the 13th of January, the Legis journed, but the night of the very day the House of Commons rejected Mr- bill, a meeting was held of those members who were favorable to its adoption. It was a large and able assemblage. After its organization, Messrs. Martin, of Rockingham, Moore, of Stokes, Fisher, of Rowan, William A. Graham, of Hillsboro', and others, addressed the meeting. Mr. Fisher introduced a series of Resolutions, one of which required the Chairman (General Jones) to appoint an Executive Committee to publish an address to the People of the State, on the subjeot of omending their State Constitution. One Resolution of the scries was as follows : Resolved, further, That the Convention bill, which was rejected this day, by 'the House of Commons, be spread at large upon the minutes of this meeting as apart of the samet These Resolutions passed without a dissenting voice. i j The Chairman then appointed gentlemen as the Executive Committee, viz : W. H. Haywood, Jr., (Chairman) R.'M. Saunders, Weston It. Gales, William A. Graham, James Scawell, and Will. It. Hargrove. These proceedings may be found in the files of all our city papers of the dates they bear. On the 10th of April following, the Executive Committee published an address to the people of the State, on the subject of amending our Constitution. In this address we find the fal lowing, viz : j IV. By the present Constitution, the election of your Governor is vested in t;he General As sembly, and it is proposed to transfer the exter cisc of this power to the people. It ought to be a sufficient reason for this change, that he Chief Executive is the officer of the People, and they desire to make the election themselves'. Are you prepared to admit that this would be unsafe or unwise ? The Governor has no power or patronage, by which he can control or corrupt the election. According to! the theory of free governments in this country, he is intended to act as a salutary check upon legislative encroach ments. This is the great axiom of freedom, which your Bill of Rights affirms when it de clares, that the " Legislative and Executive De partments of the Government ought to be kept forever separate and distinct from each other ;" and yet it is remarkable, that your Governor is kept in a state of absolute dependence on the Legislature, They elect him annually, and reg ulate will his salary. The Legislative Department of this State's Government, is, in practice, subject to little or no control. The Judges elected by them, 'tis true, hold their office by a permanent tenure, but even they are paid according to legislative pleasure, and the very nature of the judicial office excludes their interference with questions that are merely political. And if the public will were so effectual a check as political theo rists say it is, the causes which have impelled us to address you, would never have continued long enough, to make this appeal necessary. This address, containing these sentiments, was signed by all the members of the Commit tee William A. Graham's name appearing as prominent as any, and yet the " Standard" has the hardihood to promise, in advance, a falsifi cation of history to prejudice Governor Graham: and this is done to gratify his political enemies of other States, who are, through the Editor oj " Standard," prying into our history to find, if tfieu can, somethinq to his injury I But we have no fears, if they will stick to the truth. The false charge against hira of having been opposed to Religious tolerance, has been successfully exposed and refuted. This is now brought on the political tapis, by one of his own fellow cit izens, who has thus become the tool of a set of political spoilsmen elsewhere, who, having no sympathy with or for us, would do au in their power to put down and keep down our distin guished men 1 This spirit is what has, in times past, prevented our State from assuming the position she deserves amongst her sisters. Will it not be rebuked by every true North Caro linian ? Let the Whig papers expose the meanness and falsehoods of the locofoco Press " The Scott enthusiasm" certainly manifests itself about here (Raleigh) in spots ; some of the Scottites are surprisingly enthusiastic, while the greater portion of them are indifferent and apparently unacquainted with the run of pqli tics." Standard. ; Yes, you have stumbled on the truth for onde : and the "spots" are really quite large and bright 1 We " Scottites" have various ways of shewing our enthusiasm. What you regard as " indif- j ference" is nothing less than some of Judge j Stratum's " silent thunder" -anil nnr "animrsnt ' unacquaintance with the run of politics" is in difference for the abuse and falsehoods of lo cofocoism hereabouts !

He fought as bravely as Leonidas ever did, and was wounded twice the last wound being regarded mortal. Nor did his horses fall until they were killed by British bullets. It is a disgrace to the locofoco party that a leading Journal should thus falsify the history of the Country for par ty ends ! The Hon. Joseph P. Caldwell passed through this City, on Friday morning, en route for his residence in StatesviUe. Hear Him j Mr. Watson G. Haynes, the Abolitionist Trho electioneered for Pierce and King with sol much effect at the recent Free Soil Convention at Pittsburgh, is indignant at the insinuation that has been thrown out, that he did so at the suggestion of certain Whigs in New York. In his letter to the Washington Republic, denying this allegation, he says : "I recommended Mr. Pierce on Free Soil, an ti-Popery, and anti-Maine Law grounds. Ilaynes professes to be on intimate terms with some of the most influential of the locofo co leaders, particularly those of the ultra pro gressive stripe. He seems to think Brandy and Religion are questions quite as deeply involved in the election of JPierce and King as the pet hobby of Free Soil. the Reserve counties, in a private letter, says: "Many -of our old Locofoco friends repudiate Pierce Wi King, and jnpt a few of them will vote for Scott." j Jw - Another letter from thfe southeast part of the State says: "Our Whigs here are in lino spirits. There is no division among ns. Every day we hear of Democrats coming out for Scott." Stilt More. Since writing the above we have conversed with a respectable intelligent man, heretofore voting the Democratic ticket, who will vote for Scott ; and says he knows of at least-tfeo hundred men in his county a count' not within fifty miles of either of those mention ed above who have generally voted the Locofo co ticket, but who will vote for Scott next fall. StUt Another. A letter received on Tuesday, from still another part of the State, says, in a postscript: "Scott and Graham stock looks well here, and is rising. We hope to make a good report this fall. Our friends are at work, and not a few Democrats have consented to go with us." The cry is, Still ihey come ! Another letter, from the county me ntioned the other day, in which a list had been made of nLetv-sevex Democrats who are going for Scott, says that the writer has still another list, the number not stated, but it must be a large one, because he eaya among them ark over sixty Germans. ; - .- - : .1 . i " ' ' ON GOOD TERMS WITH DEATH. In the Southern part of Tonquin, the highest compliment you can pay to a distinguished per sonage,"tnd the dearest token of esteem for a revered friend, is tho present of a cjoffin. A number of Catholic Priests, of native origin, joined in giving a coffiin, as a New Year's pre sent, to the Bishop ot L.aranda, who had instruc ted them in theology, saying that he vi'as grow ing old, and they could never have a more suita ble opportunity to offer him that necessary piece of furniture. At the same time they called his attention to the excellence of the wood! and the beauty of the work. Such is the custom of the country ; no person who has reached tljie ago of fifty is without his coffin, which not onjy stands ready for its prospective use, but1 serves even now," as a table by clay and a bedj byj night. The children of a family in good circumstances will combine to offer handsome Coffins to their father and mother, and pupils mtike 'the same present to a venerated teacher. Death there has no terrors. A poor widower, with yoing chil dren, fell dangerously sick, and the first care of his friends was to borrow a coffin for him. When this was announced to the sufferer he trembled with joy, and asked to see the borrow ed article : "Now," said he, "let me die, for if I live I shall have to return it, and who knows if I can ever procure another?" In the same spirit the friends of a dying person speak in his presence of his approaching end, and of the - - I 1 ' r i rpi 1 1 " 1 . 1 preparations ior ins luuerui. iuc uisiiui, auue referred to, says that one day he visited a cate chumen, whose malady, though likely to be pro longed, was sure to end fatally, and found a woman sittingby his bed-side making the mourn ing clothes for the tamily.

These particulars we gather irom a letter ot the gOd Bishop's, to a friend in France, pub lised in the Journal des Debats. gq more injury than benefit. Pierce and Kini's majority in this State, I am confident froiju the "facts before me," will be reduced to a few hundred proba l t)tT less than that of Cass iand Butler in '48. Several attempts have beenlmade m this section to get up locofoco meetings , all of which have proven fruitless. No sign of enthusiasm has been shown by the disaffected. Numerous grat ifying Whig meetings have been held, at which the greatest unanimity and mst manifest en thusiasm have prevailed. Thb Hon. II. W. Uilliard is battling manfully anl with the great est sucooss for Scott and Graham. He is a tow er of strength, to the party,; for which he is so ably working, and no man s talents are better appreciated by the people than his. The time when the great question shall bo decided is fast approaching. But before that time shall elapse, a change in the public mind will have taken place in favor of Scott and Gra ham. The?

The Whigs are fighting for the man who has been fighting for his country for more than forty years; for river improvements ; for harbor improve ments ; for railroad improvements ; for Ameri can industry ; for the development of the resour ces of the country ; for the elevation of the peo ple, socially, intellectually, and religiously ; for the perpetuation of the Union and liberties of our happy'land ; for aU the vast and varied in terests of the country, which we desire shall be placed on a stable and prosperous foundation ; for true men and tried patriots ; in finefor Scott, Graham, our Cocntrv and Victory ! That's what we are fighting for. Are not the prizes valuable beyond comparison, and worth any struggle to secure them ! Dr. W. J. Blow. We were in error in sta ting that this gentleman voted at the late elec tion for Gov. Reid. He writes us from Green ville, under date August'23d, as follows ; "I did not vote for Gov.

Bob s Bale of Cotton hens is a negro chant which we have often heard with juba accompaniments, by Judge Longstreot s inimi table Billy Termination which runs thus: "Big bee suck de bloossom Nigger make de Cotton, White man toat de money." As a general thing the satire of the Negro poet holds good. But, like all rules, it has its exceptions. This fact was brought forciblv to our mind by an incident of yesterday. Meet ing with a commercial friend a cotton factoi who had just returned from the post office, while in conversation with us, he opened his letters. "There," said he, handing us a letter from a Burke cqunty planter, "give that to the Northern Abolitionists and tell them to put it in ,1 1 1 It 11T 1 ? 11 their pipe anu smoKe it. e reaa as iuuows : Burke County, July 10, 1852.

Keep the weight of the bale separate from the others, so that I may know how to settle with him. So, if nigger "Bob" did help to make his mas ter's crop, he had his support, which is about as much as most of us get in this world by our labor, and will for his own bale of cotton "toat de money." We will bet Philosopher Greely a loaf of Graham bread that he cannot, on Christmas next, show us a happier or a better contented "colored individual" in all his region than our Bob of Burke county. And Bob is but one of thousands of his class in this State, who could not be induced to change condition with tho miserable, despised, half starved "darkies' of the free States, who live a life of degradation want, and incessant care, keeping body and soul together from day to day, by thieving or by rooting about tho sinks and gutters ot the large Northern cities, contending with the dogs for the crumbs lind scraps thrown from the ta bles of their pretended friends.

Yours, C. C. P. We have seen a common black-snake attempt to swallow a toad. Drawing his strug gling victim in, little by little, not as if his snakeship relished the mouthful, but as if he took it from a sense of duty, when at last he has accomplished his task, he stretches himself out for it to digest, harmless and stupid from his surfeit. j . We thought of it when we witnessed the ef forts of a distinguished New-York Free-Soiler to swallow General PieAce and his platform. It is not John Vas Buren ofwhom we speak. He took it down as one swallows an oyster, smacking his lips as if he.only wished that his thToat were as long as a well-pole, and lined with a palate throughout X. T. Times. A. J.
