RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.
Tbe Washington Union of Saturday last pub
Ushes a leader, headed "Last Spanish Outrage,"
whieh breathes a bellicose spirit. It is plainly
intimated that unless atonement is made to
Minister Dodge, hostile steps will be taken. It
declares, farther, that the Administration will
not be charged with warring against a weak and
helpless nation, as they hate the strongest rea
sons for believing that Spain will be backed by
England and France. On this point it says.: '
We have the strongest reasons for regarding
Spain. as being backed and sustained by Eng
land and France. We need not, therefore, fear
that we will be chargeable with resorting to
force against weak and helpless nation. When
' our government resolves to adopt coercive mea
sures, it will do so with a fall expectation that
they are to he prosecuted against the oombined
powers of England, France and Spain. The
' it-petition of such outrages as that upon the
Black Warrior add the El Dorado satisfies us
that our pacific relations with Spain cannot be
long maintained, and we think this conviction
cannot be too earnestly impressed upon the pub
lie mind."
Metropolitan District. The note of prepa
ration for the ensuing Congressional canvass is
beginning to be heard in this District, and pro

The Hillsbsirol Recorder" says :-V'The De
taocrats of this county, at their meeting held
laet week, unanimously declared their prefer
ence for Cadwallader Jones, Jr., Esq as the
Demoeratie candidate for Congress in this Dis
trict We were not present at the meeting, but
we are informed that quae an animated debate
sprang up upon a resolution which was offered,
recommending Mr. Tenable as the second choice
of the meeting. The resolution was rejected
13 voting in tie affirmative, and 15 in the nega
live. -
Itris quite probable- that the District Con
vention will have some difficulty in making a
nomination. Madam Rumor says that- there
are two or more gentleman in Wake coon ty,
; who will have strong friends in the Conven
tion : and it is very probable that Mr. Tena
ble will have soma there. ' It is said, too, that
Warren county has her favorite, the lion. Wei
don N. Edwards. -The contest ; w ill doubtless
be warm in the Convention, as a nomination,
will be considered equivalent to an eloction.
And so it would be. under ordinary circom
sutnees ; but strange events have recently ta
ken place in political affairs. Old New llamp
. shire, which has rarely . ever wavered . in the
Democratic ranks, has recently thrown the
Pierce party completely overboard; and Tir
ginia, it is confidently .believed, will soon -do
the same thing. We should not be surprised,
"; THE RUSSIAN EMFEROEU
ThrNew York Courier, whieh doubts the re
port of the death of the Emperor, gives an in
teresting sketch of his life, from which we
quote :
" The yonth of Nicholas was what may be
said to be moral. In tbe. gallant conrt of his
brother, tbe Emperor Alexander, be appears to
have kept himself marvellously free from in
trigues, and to have concentrated all his pleas
ures on military exereises and amusements. In
1814 Nicholas left the Court of bis brother for
a tour abroad. He visited France, Germany,
England, and various other countries, and re
turned home early in 1817.
"On the I3tb of July. 1817. being then hard
ly twenty-one years of age, he married Maria
Charlotte, eldest daughter of tbe late King of
Prusia. Tbe bride was about two years young
er than the bridegroom. The marriage was sol
emnized at St. Petersburg, and tbe bride, in ac
cordance with Russian law, although she came
of a Protestant family, adopted tbe Greek reli
gion, and with it tbe Christian name of Alex
andra Feodorowna. The marriage is said to
have been one of love 'on both sides, although
there was, doubtless, political expediency min
gled with it. There was a great similarity be
tween them ; not only in the majesty of figure,
but aleo ef mind and character
" At tbe time of his marriage Nicholas held
the military rank of head inspector of engi
neers in the service of bis brother, the Empe
ror, but he was not admitted to the council ta
ble when political and diplomatic questions
were discussed, and his sphere of operations
was confined to mere garrison service. Nicho
las felt his subordinate position, and lived with
his wife, retired from the court, a domestic man,
deriving his happiness in performing the part
of husband and father in such a manner that
tbe example of himself and wife has been ci
tcdaoa model of domestic bliss. His eldest son,
Alexander Nicolai witch, was born one year after
his marriage. In 1819. followed the birth of
his second child, the Grand Duchess Maria; in
1822. that of the Grand Duchess Olga.
"Alexander died December 1st, 1825. The
news arrived at the winter palaoe, where the
imperial family were assembled in the chapel
to render thanks for the messages received the
previous day, announcing the convalescence of
the usar. It was Aicbolas wno receivea tne iaui
news, be only of the three brothers then being
resident in St. Petersburg. It was supposed by
the Russian people that tbe Grand Duke Con
stantino, tbe next brother in age to Alexander,
(the latter having died without any direct heir)
would succeed to the throne. But Constantine
had some years previously resigned his claim
in favor of Nicholas, the fact being only known
to the Empress Mother.
" Before the news of Alexander's death was
bruited in tbe streets of St. Petersburg, Nicholas
obtained a brief interview with the .bin press
mother. What passed at the interview is not
known. Immediately afterwards Nicholas re
paired to the Senate Palaoe to take the oath of
allegiance to bis orotner constantine. in
State Council replied by appealing to sealed
packets deposited by Alexander with the Sen
ate to be opened after his death. The paeket
was found to 1e the resign at iou ef Constantine
addressed to Alexander, a letter of Alexander
assenting thereto, and a decree which gave the
throne to Nicholas.
" Nicholas was then invited to a seat at the
State Council, but he answered he had no right
to sit there as be was not a member of the
council, but he was ready to receive any eom

his winter Daiace. 10 ine paiase we counvir
accordingly repaired, and were about to take
the oath of allegiance to him, when he refused
to receive it until his elder brother had signi
fied to him his determination to resign.
M Aftor a lapse of fourteen days, during
which all the official acts of government were
nerformed in the name of the Emperor Con
stantine, Nicholas received the news of his
brothers refusal of tbe throne, and on the 24th
of December. 1825. he formally accepted the
government. He fixed, however, December 1st,
the dav on which Alexander died, as the' com
mencement of his reign. A conspiracy was the

is of encountering the enemy, and the weapons
tor snob a contest belong equally to the one par
ty and the other. Who shall be President, is a
pitiful question compared with these others.
who shall be true, and who false, to tbe South;
in an emergency which is about to try more
severely than any former one, whether she can
remain in this Union without utter degradation
and ruin."
THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Tbe California papers seem to be rathe r re
joiced than otherwise that there is an end for the
present of the project of making these distant
islands, three thousand miles off, a part of the
Amer icau Republic. Tbe young King is not
disposed to give up tbe honors of royalty, even
in a small nation, to become a citizen of an iin
mense confederacy. Some of the projectors of
the scheme of annexation have evidently over
acted their parte, and there has been a re-action.
This is by no means a subject of regret All the
American people need in that quarter ia equal
ity of- commercial privileges, and that we be
lieve we fully enjoy. The Sao Francisco Tran
script of the 16th of February thus announces
the termination of the negotiations :
From the Sandwich Islands the news is im
portant only in regard to tbe subject cf annex
ation. The scheme is dead, at least for the
present, the matter having been officially dis
missed, We are informed that the injudicious

THE RESULT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
- Tbe New Hampshire papers account iu va
rious ways for the total overthrow of tbe T)ei
mocratio party in that State. The Manchester
Democratic Gazette takes comfort from the idea
that. " the Democratic organization is still sup
ported by an army of 27,000 true men, while
the Whig vote dwindles down to 4,000, and the
Abolition vote is hardly sufficient to make a res
pectable count." This latter piece of informa
tion ia fatal to the arguments of tbe Southern
Demoeratie presses. They insist that the vio.
tory in New Hampshire is altogether an Aboli
tion triumph 1 and if this ground be taken from '
them by an orthodox New Hampshire Democra- i
tie print, tbe cause of old-fashioned Democracy
may suffer, especially tn Tirginia. The Con- ;
cord Statesman, (Whig,) on the other hand. I
thinks that if the battle bad been fought upon i
tbe issue of the "Compromise of 1820" alone, j
deserters from the Democratic ranks would have
been counted by thousands. It says that " al- i
though some peopin will assign one ciroumstan-!
e as the cause of this thorough revolution and i
some another, yet it is an aggregation of causes j
which have done the work." The paper first;
named consoles ittelf that ' a considerable nuin-;
ber of honest Democrats will one day become j
satisfied that they are operating with their old ;
enemies.' It thus confesses that the party it- i
self furnished tiie means of its own demolition,
and huds comfort in the alleged fact that Know
Nothingism bas accomplished the work "of an
nihilating the Abolition party." We do not ex
l pect, therefore, to see tbe argument renewed

PROBABILITY OF FRESHETS.
. On Friday morning, the 16ih of March, at six
o'clock, the moon' will be in ber perigee. On
Saturday night, the 17th, at half-past eleven
o clock, there will, be a new moon ; and on Tuesday
night, about eleven o'clock, the su j will enter
the sign Aries, illuminating equally both hem

south pole, and causing at , that time the day
and the night to be of equal length to all the

sun and moon in disturbing the waters of the
earth will be somewhat greater than usual; and
will cause spring tides at the maritime ports.

Haughton, Cant. Lamon, from Lockvill, three
miles from Haywood, in Chatham country, with a
oar go of Flour, Cotton and Peas. She had in
tow, also, four lighters with 1200 bbls. Spirits
Turpentine, and 1300 do. Rosin. It will be re
membered that this steamer left Lock vi lie on
the 19th tilt. Her long passage has been caused
by tbe verv low state of the river. She was de
tained at Buckhorn Canal two or three weeks.
Although it may not appear a matter of boast
that a' steamboat bas bVen enabled to come
down from up the country aftera month's voyage;
yet, as the thing has never before been done in
tbe history of Deep River, it is an event of the
day. It proves that the people of Chatham and
of Wilmington are henceforward to b united
in oommeroittl interest, by means of the im
provement now being prosecuted to successful
completion by both. It proven, moreover, that
the river can be male navigable by means of
the measures now in progress. We take it as the
beginning of the end, when tha difficulties in
cident to works of this eharaoter bring surmoun
ted, the produoe of the counties on the margin
of this work will find iu way to our wharves,
not id monthly voyages, but in trips of two and
a half days. With this hope we would say to
the friends of this improvement, ' Renew your
energies, prosecute the work to completion !"
It said th at when the Haughton went up for
the first time to Haywood, she gave note 'of ber
approach by a prolonged whistle, which startled
the ears of the inhabitants, may of wiom had
never seen a steamboat. Among the rest was
an aged pair, and as the shriek fell upon the
ear of the old lady, she says, "What's that 7
Old man " It's some animal in distress 1"
never had a voice like that 1"
Yes, this voice ofst mm has music in its tpnes !
It sends forth tbe note of exultation over dimcul
ties surmounted. It pierces the mountain dell
and mingles its tones with those of the cataract !
It is beard above the roar of the ocean : and
Wherever the foot of c'viliied man has trod,
there is its language understood and its capac
hies for service beneficently employed.
