DISCUSSION AT LOUISBURG.
The two candidates for Congress in this Con
gressional District met, for the first time, at
Lnuisburg, on Tuesday last. We learn that
Mr. ShkpaRD sustained himself admirably and
made a most favorable impression. On the
night succeeding the discussion, we are inform
ed, thirty-five persons, a majority of them
Democrats, were initiated into the American
order.
A friend in Louisburg has furnished ns with
the following notice of the discussion :
1 Locisblrg, June 13th, 1855.
Mr. Editor: Our two Congressional candi
dates met in our town yesterday. Mr. Branch
tpoke first, and opened by paying a high-Sown
compliment to the good whigs, who still remain
ed true to their old principles. This set some
of the democrats to staring. After he had fin
ished flattering the whigs, he made a vehement
onslaught on the new enemy he was called on
to fight. This consumed his two hours, with
ths exception of a brief allusion to the Cuba and
public land questions. When he sat down,
:i few clappings of hands were drowned by vo
ciferous calls for Shepard. Mr. S. arose, and,
after making an unceremonious disposition oi
the
" Standard, took up Mr. U ranch s speech,
and made the same disposition of that.
i wish I could give you a synopsis of the
argiments presented on both sides, but my
time will not permit it. I will simply state
that the effect of both speeches was, as far as 1
have learned, to render the democracy very
uneasy, and to confirm the Whigs in their de
termination to oppose their ancient foe. As to
the effect upon the others, of course I know
nothing. To judge from the manifestations on
the occasion, I think Mr. B. made many con
verts to the other side. Mr. S. will be suppor
ted by all the Whigs, and by most of the "ster
ling old Democrats" in this county.
Years, &c.
John Pool, Esq., of Elizabeth City, re
plied to Dr. Shaw, the locofoco candidate for
re election to Congress in the Edenton District,
at the former place, on Tuesday last, and effec
tually demolished him, as we know him to be
capable of doing. The "Sentinel," alluding
tu the discussion, remarks :
" Every blow struck with telling effect upon
hit opponent's head ; blow after blow was struck
round after round was passed in such quick
succession, that it seemed to us to have been e
nough to have aroused and resuscitated the very
gtrost of Bill Poole. We have seen men used
timoletel v up in discussions before ; but never
before did we see a man, after he had felled
his opponent to the earth, then spit on him, take
a brick and rub it in ! His reply to the Doc
tor's remarks in relation to Gen. Shields was
truly withering. He told the people his opponent
was very particular to defend the rights of
(Sen. Shields, a foreign born citi2en, for what
little he had done for his country, but when it was
proposed in the Congress of the U. 8. to reward
the noblest chieftain of his age and country
him who bad grown gray in the service of his
country and shed his blood upon nearly every
- battle field in which that country took a part
then in opposition, not only to a large majority
of his countrymen, but of his own party, he
had voted against the proposition."
?fi-We call attention to the advertisement,
in another column, of "Aylwin's Ocean House"
in Portsmouth, now nearly completed. It is said
t.. lie a splendid building, fitted up in the best
my le, and we have no doubt that Mr. Revnolds,
the lessee, will hold out superior inducements
to the travelling public.
B3 We are indebted to Mrs. Geo. Little, of
this City, for the largest lemon, of her own
culture, that we have ever seen. It weighs
1?. nunr-Bj. an.i maaanros In nSrKnmferonKK 1
inches. This perfection of the fruit shows what
ran be accomplished by a proper attention to
th hat-house, and a cultivated Ute.
"A ROWLAND FOR AN OLIVER."
We find that it will consume too much of our
pace to quote evn a tithe of the fuUome eulo
gs which the " Standard " has, in limes past,
lavished upon Mr. Shepard. in most instances,
too, its servile adulation of Mr. S. is coupled
with such low aud vulgar abuse of other gen
tlemen, whom we highly esteem, that wc will
not transfer it to our columns.
As the " Standard," however, regards us as
guilty of gross inconsistency in expressing a
preference for Mr. Sdepard in the present con
test, we proposo'to give a few instances of its
Editor's consistency.
In 1842, ir. a communication published in the
"Register," Mr. W. W. Ilolden, then a Whig,
took occasipn to speak of IIe.vrt Ci.av as fol
lows:
"Henry Clay, sir, is emphatically the man of
the age. In the cardinal virtues of charity, be
nevolence and generosity, where is his equal ?
In the paths of accomplished honor, who has
walked before him ? In the great collisions of
intellect, in which, lor the last thirty years, he
has been perpetually engaged in the Temples
nT. I ii st'ne and in the Halls of National Lesisla-
j tion, who has rivalled or surpassed him? In
pprMPTPrTtiiTr, uprigiiiucPB tmu iinrgriijr iu me
spirit which scorns s mean action, and seeks in
tuitively that way to success which probity and
candor consecrate in all things which conspire
to make the Statesman and the gallant, ' free
hearted, faultless gentleman, where, I ask, is
the superior of Henry Clay ?
Sir, when I speak of Henry Clay, I feel like
pouring out my whole heart. I love to dwell
upon his low beginnings ; to follow him from
the Old Dominion, until the penniless wanderer
becomes rich and strong in the affections of the
noble "Hunters of Kentucky ;" to linger around
his pathway in the last war, when his voice,
embodying the voice of the Nation, inspired
confidence in the armies of the Republic, and
struck the pangs of dismay and apprehension
to the heart of Britain ; to mark bis efforts, on
the return of pence, to rebuild the temples of
our prosperity, and to send the currents of re
turning animation throughout all the arteries
and veins of the Republic ; to go forth with
i: r i. - : i.: r l. - e A r .v.
1 1. it u 1 u- u !
race : to look upon that ohaplei which South
America has wovea for him, growing freshly
forever upon thesummit of her mountains ; and
to hear the clarion voice cf Demosthenes, re
vived in the American Senate, pleading for the
liberties of ba filed and bleeding Greece ; and to
follow him t8 the shades of Ashland, where his
kindness and benevolence, like the dews of
Heaven, are seen only in the beauty and fresh
ness they contribute to produce. This is the
light, sir, in which I love to contemplate the
character of Clay VT
In 1845, Mr. W. W. Holden, tlien Editor of tie
" Standard," thus spoke of that same glorioug
old Patriot, in language that Bhould cause the
brow of shame itself to be mantled with a blush:
" IF HENRY CLAY IS ELECTED,
We shall have a dishonest man.
We shall have a man who does not reepect the
truth.
We shall have a man of bad passions and re
vengeful temper.
We shall have a man charged as the murder
er of Cilley.
We shall have a man charged with two per
juries.
We shall have a hard swearer and a gambler.
We shall have the worst times ever knotcn.
We shall have an old man, in his 68th year,
who is too infirm to do the public business."
The present pet of the ".Standard," Thomas
L. Clingman, also came in for a share of its de
nunciation in 1845. That, paper, among other
harsh and abusive things, said of him that "his
course in favor of the Abolitionists defeated
him." Now, ne is the perfection of Southern
chivalry !
Towards the late Hon. William H. Haywood,
whose immediate descendant he is so fond of
bespattering with his praise, the same paper
employed the following disgraceful language :
"As we had frequently commended Mr. Hay
wood for his good conduct up to the day when
he played the traitor to his party, we hope he
will allow us to offer him, in the most respect
ful spirit, orfb or two words of parting advice :
Remain in private lite. It you can, torget pot
tics, forget that fatal step on the floor of the
Senate, and strive hereafter to think more of
vour countrv. and lass of vourself. The "roush
J " J r c
and-tumble" of political life is too much for your
refined temperament and wonderfully nice or
ganization the bar or a Professorship might
suit you better. Cultivate your "conscience
and attend to your religious duties ; and then,
whatever may betide you, you will enjoy those
sublime and holy consolations which the "wick
ed" and "foolish" dwellers and "minions" in
these "low grounds of sorrow" can neither give
nor take away."
The Hon. Weldon N. Edwards, also, whom
it has often denounced, since bis hostility to
Free Suffrage was made known, has frequently
been the recipient of the "Standard's Editorial
favors. See the following, among others :
"We learn, with profound regret, from the
last Warrenton Reporter, that the Hon. Weldon
N. Edwards, of Warren, will not be a candid
ate for re-election to the State Senate. We hope
Mr. Edwards may be induced to reconsider his
determination to retire, and come forward to
give his fellow citizens the benefit of at least one
more term in the Legislature of the State.
Weldon N. Edwards has long been a leading
public servant, and in every station he has fill
ed, it may be said with strict truth, that he has
been faithful to his constituents, to the State,
and to our common country. And whether he
shall remain in retirement, or be called again
by the voice of the people to places of honor
and trust, he will continue to attract that popu
lar regard and confidence so justly due to his dis
tinguished services and spotless patriotism
Has the " Standard" any more " gems" to
produce ? We have but commenced.
4Mr Branch, the locofoco anti-American
candidate for Congress in this district, addresses
the people of Orange at Ilillsboro' to-day, (Fri-
day.)
Mr. Sbepard not being able to attend, in
consequence of the appointment conflicting
with his previous engagements, H. K. Nash,
Esq., at the solicitation of many friends of the
American party, has consented to reply to Mr.
Branch.
8 The most lugubrious affair, perhaps, that
ever cams off in Raleigh, was the locofoco meet-
2i inz of Wednesday night last. For feeble ora-
tory, faint applause, thin numbers, and general
despondency, it has never had its equal ; so
the "knowing," ones say. Requiescat in pace

KNOW NOTHING NATIONAL COUNCIL
The following correspondence we copy from
the New York Herald of TneH.lay. It will be"
read with interest :
Toe Platform.
Resolutions on the Slavery Question.
The following resolutions respecting the slave
ry question have been adopted by the platform
committee:
Resolved, That the American party, having
arisen upon the ruins and in despite of the op
position of the Whig and Democratic parties,
cannot be held in any manner responsible for
the obnoxious acts or violated pledges of either ;
that the systematic agitation of the slavery
question by those parties has elevated sectional
hostility into a positive element of political
rower, and brought our institutions into peril,
t has, therefore, become the imperative duty
of the American party to interpose for the pur
pose of giving peace to the country and perpe
tuity to the Union; that, as experience has
shown, it is impossible to reconcile opinions
so extreme as those which separate the dispu
tants ; and, as there can be no dishonor in sub
mitting to the laws, the National Council has
deemed it the best guarantee of common jus
tice and of future peace to abide by and main
tain the existing laws upon the subject of slave
ry, as a final and conclusive settlement of that
subject, in spirit and in substance.
Resolved, That regarding it the highest duty
to avow tnese opinions, upou a suoject so im
portant, in distinct and unequivocal terms, it
is hereby declared, as the sense of the National
Council, that Congress possesses no power un
der the Constitution to legislate upon the sub
ject of slavery in the States, or to exclude any
m , ? 1.1 - TT. " 1
State trom aamission into me union Decause
its constitution does or does not recognize the
institution of slavery as a. part of the social sys
tern ; and expressly pretermitting any expression
of opinion upon the power of Congress to estab
lish or prohibit slavery in any xerruory, it is
the sense of the National Council that Congress
oughtnot to legislate upon the subject of slavery
as it exists in the District of Columbia, and that
any interference of CoDgress with slavery, as it
exists in the said District, would be a violation
tf the spirit and intent of the compact by which
the state of Maryland ceded it to the united
States, and a breach of the national faith.
Dame Rumor hath it that Lyons, of New
York, had the honor to propose this measure,
which, the same garrulous old Dame asserts,
was adopted in the committee by ayes seven
teen, noes fourteen.
The Sovereignty of Territories Re-Affirmation
of the x uguwe Slave Law.
The two resolutions sent in to-day constitute
the platform on the subject of slavery in the
general sense, it will be added to andconstru
ed in substance as follows : .
J o the nrst resolution will te added this pro
vision, viz : subject to the decision of the pro
per courts that have judicial cognizance thereof,
and such amendments as shall be needed to
fully carry out their spirit and more fully give
to the inhabitants of the Territories the entire
power of local sovereignty, as the same is oos
sessed by the people of the States.
After the second resolution will be added tbt
following, giving the scheme of the American
party tor the solution ot the problem ot union :
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Na
tional Council, that the people of the Territo
ries ol the United states should possess as fall
and actual sovereignty within the same as the
people of the States do ; that Congress, in pass
ing the organio law for the organization of a
Territory, should put thorein no more provis
ions than will merely authorize the people of
the Territories to act for themselves ; and
ihouhlempowerthemto create their own scheme
of government, limited to a republican charac
ter, authorizing them to determine upon what
officers, from Governor to the lowest subordi-
X nate, they will possess, and to eleot the same ;
to establish wnt courts tbey j&oose, ana ap
point or elect the judges of the same, as they j
may aeeiae ior toemseiTes, and to;give to their
courts the power to adjudicate on their own
laws, as the Courts of th States possess the power
to do, subject to the. laws of the States, and
the decisions of the oonrts of the States to re
view by the Supreme Court of the United States,
in case of a conflict with the Constitution of the
United States; and the laws passed in pnrsuance
thereof. That Congress shall create within
the Territories such courts of the United States
as exist, by the laws of Congress in the States ;
and the Presidebt of the United States shall
appoint, with the consent of the Senate of the
United States, the judges thereof, and the
judges thereof shall hold office and possess jn-
risuiction as all such judges do in the like
courts of the United States in the States ; that
Congress shall create all such offices and officers
in said Territory as now exist in the States, and
said, officers shall be appointed by the Presi-
aeni as me same are appointed by him, either
alone or with the eoneent of the Senate of the
United States ; and that the Territories should
in general possess like powers, rights, privile
ges and immunities as io the States, except a
representative in Congress, they having neither
Senators nor Representatives therein, but only
a single delegate.
Whereas, the constitution of the U. States
contains the provision following, being the third
clause of the second section of article fourth
thereof, viz: "No person held te service or la
bor in one State, under itbe laws thereof, esca
ping into another, shall, in consequence of any
law or regulation therein, be discharged from
such service or labor, but shall be delivered up
on claim of the party to whom such service or
labor may be due "
" Resolved, That this National Council recog
nize the full and binding obligation of this pro
vision of the constitution upon the States of
this Union and the people thereof, and that it
is due to the constitution, and to good faith in
one State towards another, that the proper laws
should exist to fully, fairly and honestly carry
out the said provision in letter and spirit, and
that all tbe courts of this Union and of the
States Bhould fully, honestly and with alacrity
enforce all laws made in pursuance of said pro
vision of the constitution, and render at all times
and in all places the' said provision operative
and effective, for the keeping of good feithof
one State with another, and for the rendering
of justice and the protection of property ; and
tnis national council pledges itselt to all just
and proper measures to secure that this proy'i
sion of the constitution and the laws made in
pursuance thereof shall be duly enforced, and
that faith shall be kept and justice done in this
regard." !
The platform as sent was adopted in the com
mittee of thirty one on that subject by seventeen
to fourteen, the abolitionists all standing in
opposition on the one-side, and the national
men in support on the other. Its adoption was
an overthrow to them they will now strive in
the Convention to carryitheir views, and failing
in that will bolt. They came to abolitionize
the Order, arid when defeated will secede.
Their departure will clear the skies and brigh
ten prospects.
THE KNOW. NOTHING NATIONAL CON
VENTION. The N. Y. Herald and Tribune of Thursday
havo, what purpose to be, both majority and
minority resolutions from the National Know
Nothing platform. The Committee of the for
mer, according to the Tribune, declares that the
American party is not responsible for past leg
islation, that it is its imperative duty as Ameri
cans to interfere, for the purpose of giving peace
to tbe country and perpetuity to the Union. As
there is no dishonor in submitting to the laws
of the country, the National Council deems it
the best guarantee for peace to abide by exist
ing laws.
The second resolution declares that Con
gresa has no right of legislation upon sla
very, or to exclude any slave State from admis
sion into the Union ; and that any interference
with the existence of slavery in the District of
Columbia, or the lern tones, would be a viola
tion of the compact by which Maryland ceded
the District to the United States, and a breach
of the national faith.
The minority resolution declares the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise an infraction of
plighted faith, and that it should be restored
and if that fail, Congress should refuse to ad
mit any State tolerating slaves, whioh shall be
formed out of any portion of territory from
which slavery was excluded by the Com pro
mise. ' ;
From the Baltimore Clipper.
THE OLD JACKSON MEN ALL LEAVING
Colonel William H. Polk (brother of ex-
President Polk) is the American candidate for
Congress in one of the districts of Tennessee,
and Major Andrew Jackson Donelson (private
secretary to .President Jackson, and his sue
cesser at the Hermitage; nas recently come
before tbe public and renounced and rejected
Pierce Democracy as unworthy of the counte
nance ot the true Democracy ot the country.
These nearest representatives of Old and Young
Hickory are only following in the footsteps of
all the old Jackson men who were never seen
seeking after office ; and the choicest spirits of
both tbe old parties, in all parts of tbe country,
have united in advocating American principles
and pressing them upon tne adoption of their
friends and neighbor!. , Wherever a Democrat
or Whig ib found rebelling against the new par
ty, hie history will show nim to be some nack-
nied politician, who may apprehend being left
in the background by this spontaneous upri
sing of the people, and, that, consequently, he
kicks against k trom pure jealousy.
If it commands a larger vote among Whigs
than among! Democrats in some places, it is
owing to the tact that the former nave been
longest out ot power, and, theretore, partially
ceased to be Office hunters, and if it has failed
to carry all the Democrats along with it, it is
purely because those who hold baok are looking
for office or promotion trom the Democratic
party as it is under modern rale and manage
ment. Thai it has now: become a party under
the lead of metrso destitute of honor and prin
ciple that every right-minded citizen feels it a
reproacn ana degradation to do connecieu witn
it, is proven ;by the fact that all the early dis
ciples of Jackson have repudiated it and joined
ihe Know Nothings. Considering that modern
Democracy has no resemblance to the original,
the wonder is not that half its former supporters
iiave abandoned it, but that all not dependent
m its favoraj do not do it. Such is my confi
dence in the popular intelligence, that I feel
issured the present efforts of the modern lead
ers to brag, brow beat and bully the masses into
submission, will tend to make their ranks thin
ner than they already are.

BY LAST NIGHT'S MAIL !
SEVEN DAYS LATER! 1
ATLANTIC J I!
HIQHLT IMPORTANT FROM THE CRIMEA. GREAT
SUCCESS OP THE ALLIED ARMIES.
New York, June 13.- The United States
Mail steamship Atlantic, Capt West, arrived
this morning with 102 passengers, and highly
important news. Her dates are to the 2d, at
noon.
Since the arrival of the last steamer, three
distinct and triumphant successes have attended
the Allied Armies :
Firstly. The French, in several sanguinary
conflicts, lasting the whole night of the 22d, and
nearly the entire day of the 23rd, took and re
tained a most important position of defence, or
Place d' Armies, before Sebastopol. About 8000
Russians were killed and wounded, mostly at
the point of, the bayonet.
Secondly. The Allies made a rapid advance,
and seized and retained the Russian lines on
Tebernaga, with bat little loss, causing the Rus
sians to retreat to the hills.
Thirdly. The Allied forces by a secret ex
pedition obtained easy possession of Kertscb,
and also command of tbe sea of Azoff, in which
there are now fourteen steamers belonging to the
Aliied armies. The Russians on the approach
of the Allies blew up their forts, and burned
four steamers and at least thirty transport ves
sels, containing about a half million sacks of
breadstuff's.
Another account says tbe French have driven
tbe Russians from their strong position of de
fence before Sebastopol. It was a most san
guinary affair. The place was defended by
nearly the whole garrison. The total losses on
bothsidesin killed and wounded are putat about
8,000. The French' retained the position gained.
IMPORTANT RUMORS.
It is rumored that France and England de
cline taking any further part in the Conference
at Vienna.
It is also rumored that Belgium will furnish
20,000 men for the Allies.
COMMERCIAL.
Cotton advanced half penny, and market
much excited. Sales of week 150,000 bales.
Breadstuff's dull. Provisions better.
NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR.
Concorh, N. II., June 12. The caucus of
the Senate last night determined to reconsider
the vote assigning to day for the election of U. 8.
Senator, which was done ; thus compelling the
House of Representatives to take the initiative
in the matter. The impression is strong that
the leading members of both Houses will centre
on James Bell, for the long term, and John r.
naie, tor tne snort term.
FOB THE REGISTER.
I found a lock of my Mother's hair among
some childish relics, a few days ago.
How little thought thy careless cbildj
On that sweet Summer day
When she picked up the raven lock.
Which you bad cast away,
That it would prove a relic,
In lony, long after years -Which
she would hoard with carefulness,
And water with her tears.
The Summer breeze was playing then
Amid my own bright hair ;
My heart had known no sorrow,
I had no thought of care ;
My loved ones were around me,
My home was sweet and fair.
And ofany a charm had bound me
T every object there ;
Kind eyes were beaming on me,
And voices, sweet and mild.
Were breathing words of kindness,
i was a happy child.
Long years have passed, sweet Mother !
Dark years of grief and care.
And time has touched with silver
My once dark, glossy hair.
That Home is mine no longer,
The stranger's feet have trod,
Within its sacred precincts ;
Thou art sleeping 'neath the sod.
But still, that little ringlet
I twined in childish play
Is here, all bright and glossy,
As on that happy day !

PRINCE & CO'S IMPROVED MELODEONS.
The oldest establishment in the United States.
Employing two-hundred men, and finishing eighty
Instruments per week.
DiscKiPTios of tub Mklodbos, For tie We-
fit of those residing at a distance, and consequent
ly unable to inspect the Melodeon before purchas
ing, we will endeavor to give a snort description
of the Instrument. The cases are made of rose
wood, and are as handsomely finished Its any '
piano-forte. .The key-board "is preciflly the aunt
as the piano or organ, and the ton (which is very
beautiful) closely resembles that of the flute stop
or tne orKn-tuo natron ..1. hm tw,awt th keys,
are touched, and will admit fthe performance of r
as rapid passages as the piano. The pedal on the
right supplies the wind, and works st easily that
a child can manage it without any exertion.: The
bellows (which is something entirely new and for
which a patent was granted in December, 1849,)
is. a reversed or exhaustion bellows sad it is this
in a measure which produces the peculiar tone.
The volume of tone is equal to that of a small
organ, and by means of the swell may be Increas
ed or diminished at the pleasure of the performer;
it is sufficiently loud for small churches, and is
well calculated for a parlor instrument. Hundreds
have examined them, and all have been loud in
their praise ; and the best evidence of their merit
is their rapid sale. But it is a new instrument a
new invention and is yet but little known in the
musical world, and it is for this reason that we call
to it the attention of all lovers of music, believ
ing that there are thousands who would lose no time
in securing one, were they aware of the existence
of such an instrument, and the low price at which
it could be obtained.
The following letter from Lowxu Misoa Bos
ton, to u. Y. Heed, we are permitted to as.

Dba Si At your request. I have examined
one of the Melodeons manufactured by Messrs.
Geo. A. Prince & Co.. of Buffalo. I think them
in all respects equal and in some respects sup
nor to any others of similar kind which I have
Been, and m particular with respect to quality of
tone and promptness of touch, or - action of th
reeds by which quick passages may be performed
n iu vci muu uu uisuaci articulation ot tone. An
instrument of this kind is the best substitute for
an organ, in church music, with which I am ac
quainted. Lowxu. Masok.

CAUTION We commenced the manufacture of
the Improved Melodeon in 1847, since which time
we have finished and sold over Fourteen Thoutand.
During the past three-years, we have finished over
Three Thousand Melodeona per year; we havenearlv
completed our arrangements for finishing Four
Thoutand annually. The celebrity which our Mel
odeons have attained has induced nearly every
music dealer in the United States and Canada to
apply for the agency; but as we make. but one
Agent in each city or town, many are necessarilv
disappointed. The result has been that our None
Plate has been put upon Melodeons which were not
manufactured by us; and again, (in a few instances
wenen nave come to our knowledge) dealers, who
have been unable to obtain our instruments, have
iacepted the agency of some other manufacturer
keeping one of our instruments which had jrurposely
been put out of tune, and in bad order f as a foil to the '
inferior article they offered to the public. For
tnese reasons we caution tnese who wish to satisfy
themselves of the merits of our Melodeons to ex
amine those only which are offered by our Agents
or those who deal exclusively in oar instruments.
Many improvements applied are exclusively our own
and being the original manufacturers, our experi
ence has enabled us to produce instruments- which
a discerning public have pronounced superior to
anything of the kind hitherto manufactured. Many
of the most eminent musicians of the cities of New
York and Boston have voluntarily "given testimon
ials as to the high character of of our instruments,
which can be seen on application.
All orders from a distance will be promntlr at
tended to, and a wiitten guaranty of their dura
bility given if required.
