Certainly the rope was not to bUme. ixxxfoco txekangc So long as Major Donelson supported the mea - -wares of the looufoco party, he was regarded by them as worthy of all confidence and deserring of all honor. His talents, his statesmanahip, his patriotism, were never questioned, and the high eat trusts were considered safe ia his hands. Bat when that 'party resorted to the nefarious scheme of purchasing foreign influence and for cin rotes at the enormous price of four-fifths of the offices in the gift of the President, to be con fmed on citizens of foreign birth, and Major Donelson was known to oppose this scheme, and to adopt the motto that "Americans should rule America," this graitfvl pxtj is at once ready to hmofkim with all the titles usually conferred up on the Tile outlaws of the land.

".At meeting of the American Party in 0ns Uow county, on the 21st of April, 1&6, Owen Hoggins, Esq., was called to the chair, and Jas. 'JL S hirer requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman briefly stated the object of the meeting to be the ratification of the nominatien of John A. Gilmer for the office of Gorernor of .North Carolina, and then read the platform ad ' opted by said CouTentiou. Oa ' motion of John F. MurrilL the Chairman appointed a committee of fire to prepare matter for the action of the meeting. . Messrs. John F. Morrill, E. W. Ward. CJ E. W. Montfort, E. Morrill, and E. F. B.

There w an old maxim- which says that men arwwk tK.;- iim.nii when full cf vcine . and whether this be so or not, poHucina.hu in a crisis and tbrecned "v'th the Vaofth spoils so dear to their souls, are rery apt to dis play the bent of thrir nature.

YoU find there w bat the one base passion inteuse love of office and its emoluments ; and you find, that, desperately bent on these, they will seek tbe alUinmani tJt iKeir sn.l Ktf mMflM wblCb eVTP aaNUUCaaai wi Ml as J ni. tka slimmlwn nt nr).l nr nafriotiC SnindS. - ""tt"r " Htroce, it has ever been the policy of the .Van Jhtren party of this country, whenever their claim to a monopoly of the public offices has been iputed, to resort to Ihe worst tricks of po litical pettifogging, and to mike their appeajs to the basest passions of human nature. Bj them the demon of sectional prejudice was first conju red up tosssiKt them in making Presidents, and, finding it to be successful, it has remained their great patron -deity ever aince the rise of the Kin- derhwok Magician. It has a fixed and distinct part to play at the North and at the South ; and so often, and with such unvarying monotony, has it been made to perform' its role, that one would suppose the trick, by this time, had become stale and useless. Espe- Ully might this be hoped for after the last Presidential election and its result ; an election effected by the open and ehameless repudiation of a pretended national platform at the North and the South. The Northern part of the Van Buren party " spit on " the platform, though having but the least toleration of Southern rights and warded with all the studied ambiguity that a Jesuit could command ; and when the election was achieved, the elected Van Burenite, General Pierce, immediately made known to ail the world, that all the patronage and power of the general government would be brought to bear to crush out those simple-hearted democrats at the North who were for standing ou the same platform with their Southern brethren. Thus Pierce cpenly and notoriously, wielded the power of the federal government a fact no respectable man can of ever will deny ; while his predecessor, Mr. Fillmore, opposed himself like a rock to the freesoilish part of the Whig party, and has drawn on his head their undying and remorseless hatred. These are facto which stand oyt as plain in history as the facts that there are a Fillmore and a Pierce; and yet the Convention of the Van Buren party recently assembled in Raleigh, to devise mean alto perpetuate it hold m the public plunder, so grossly underrates the common intelligence and honesty of the country, as to call the friends' of the Administration, which threw itself into the arms of the Van Bu rens, the National, Southern party, and the friends of Fillmore (owning, perhsps, three-fifths, if not two-thirds, of the slaves of the State,) an aboli tion party. Precisely the same cry would be raised if the opponents of the Van Buren dynasty had nomi nated Mr. Calhoun, himself; and it is surely time that the sensible people, the large property and slave owners among the anti-locofoco party, were learning this trick, and were beginning to find out that they themselves were not the abolition- ista, and that the non-alareholding Clin, and Pierces were not the natural guardians of their negroes and preventing them from destroy ing their own property. Of a "piece with this sectional game in Nation al matters is the a 'tempt to beget and foster an Eastern and Western prejudice in our State af fairs, and this, too, comes from men, who, when no election is pending, can profess to be friends of those great improvements which were intended to form indissoluble bonds of affection and in terest between all sections. These rery politi ciana of whom are speak hare so characterized these improvements ; have . over and again pro claimed them to be great iron chains binding in one harmonious whole all the diversified interests of our noble State. And, yet. who, in all North Carolina, is more deeply committed to all these substantial evidences of 8tate pride, in every sec tion, from Currituck to Cherokee, from the mouth of the Cape Fear to the he ad waters of the Dan, than John A. Gilmer now held up to the East as a sectional agitator 1 Surely he must hare taken a wise course to carry out his ends 1 Surely, in his case, and in that of his opponent; the evidences of attachment, of respect, and interest, and of prejudice and dislike, are different from what they are in all other matters I Surely, we have been hugging the Irish until we cannot ex press ourselves otherwise than in Irish bulls, and ever mean the opposite of what we do ? e Gov. Bragg, known only io fame as a good lawyer, a pleasant gentleman, and a politician entirely sectiopal, local and illiberal in all his feelings, is to be regarded as the great patron of all the great interesU of the State ; and John A. -Gilmer, for ten years identified with every liberal movement for the East, and for the West, and for the Centre aye, more identified with all these thing than any man in the State, and identified by acta and votes. iiKleating a bold daring in as suming respohidbnity in behalf of good measures, for evsry locality and every .interest, is to be clas sified as a sectional, hide bound parti zan 1 Every thing, at the dictation of a caucus of. wire-pulling Tan Burenitea in Raleign, is to be forgotten in Mr. Gilmer's life but his signature to what is called the Western Address ; and all the circumstances attending the origin of that docu ment are also to be concealed. It is not to be known that the Western 'Address is the natural offspring of free suffrage that the two things are precisely similar; with this one radical dis tinction: that free suffrage was hatched in a heart- less juggle for power by those who care little for the poor or the rights of the people, wTule-the Western Address was the of&pring of an honest teal.. Intelligent Eastern men will understand this, and we presume that, in matters wholly disconnected with politics, very few would not prefer to trust their interests with the author fj the Western Addressn preference to the author of Free Suffrage. The motives and feelings were wholly different one was asking power at an hazard, and, in efforts .to gain, was recklessly lifting a floodgate that might and would lead Xo a deluge of constitutional changes the other was but availing himself of an occasion to gain for his people a practical end, at a time when the most bitter and relentless war was waged on. one of the dearest interests of that people. Nothing is dearer, or can be dearer, te the East, or to any section, than the Central Railroad is to the middle and upland regis ; it was the hope, and only hope, of that country. Without such a work, one of the finest regions of thin or auy other State was a desolation. For half a century it was locked up from all hope and its great re sources left undisturbed. The only hope of each coming generation was the sad hope of the exile, the hope that beams far from the home of child hood that points to foreign lands. And when, after much effort, the Central Railroad, which has revolutionized all parts of the State, and called again to life one of its fairest portions when this was at last obtained, after a hard struggle, there were not wanting persons h:gh in authori ty persons living on the lines of the Raleigh and Gaston and Wilmington Roads, each of which the State had largely aided there were not wanting persons directly interested in these, to propose and advocate actual repudiation in order to kill off that great measure of relief which they could not honestly defeat. No less than three propositions, each in itself unspeakably mean, were- introduced into the Legislature-of 1860-51, to break down the Cen tral Railroadthen a vested interest. Two of the movers were violent free suffrage locofbcos ; the other was a nominal Whig once, but turned locofoco on free suffrage. One lived in Franklin, one lived in Goldsboro', a town owing its exis tence to the Wilmington road, and one lived in Halifax, on the same road. Besides all this, as we stated in our last, no less a man than Gen. Saunders, a great pretended internal improve ment man, made an illiberal fling at the West in proposing resolutions to change the Constitution hn such a way as to limit the power of the Legis lature in making appropriations, and it was un derstood as a direct and illiberal stroke at the West from one deeply interested in Eastern im provements. On the back of all this, free suf frage, an equivocal good to say the best of it, es pecially considering its connections and tenden cies, was insultingly offered as an equivalent for all the great, substantial, inestimable benefits and measures warred on to the point of repudiation. It was a time to stir men's blood wise and good men looked on the crisis with much concern, and a violent and most unhappy sectional war seemed almost inevitable. The East, full of liberal and honest men the East, so iiuch underrated by the 'Raleigh Stand ard and its cabinet of wire-pullers the East would, we verily believe, have proudly scorned to take advantage ef the base propositions in troduced into the Assembly. Its representatives generally frowned on these unworthy efforts, and its people have ever sustained, and will ever sustain, them for it. Nevertheless, so many propositions,there be ing five in all coming from the sources they did, were well calculated to fire the free-born hearts of the gallant sons of the West, and the only wander is that more extreme action was not the result. Such bitter insults a were offered in that As sembly are not to be silently swallowed by men whose instincts are all manly and free ; and the western meeting, openly held, was the natural result, We are not advocating the measures then proposed ; but, though we did not think of joining In that movement, we could but respect and admire the open and manly character of the whole pro ceedinga. ' A prominent mover in the matter was Marcus Erwin, then a fire-eating, Clingman, Southern Rights Whig, and now a leading loco foco, and the author of the address was under stood to be Gen. John Gray Bynum, whose alle giance to the South, and whose thorough loyalty on the slave question, no man in any place will dare to impugn.- i A signer was John A Gilmer, identified before and ever since with every measure of relief for every section of North Carolina, living in the middle part of the State, and assuming more responsibility than any in it, in advocating the interesU of every section a large slave owner, and a large tax payer "besides, and as conserva tive as any man can be. ' , That he is beloved in the West, we hare no doubt that he is the unflinching friend of the region that gave him birth, we know ; and these are but virtues essential in any man aspiring to be a patriot. " He ought to lore and be lovedy his own section if not, we may well doubt his real respect for my section and when to this most proper and endearing attachment to the home and friends of childhood is added a coble and comprehensive liberality and patriotism, proved by repeated acts of severe responsibility, for evsry interest and every section, we have a man and a Statesman, with whom will be the sympathies of all liberal-minded men of every party. The recent effort of the "Standard" is the offspring of a mean estimate of human nature : and we are most mistaken in the generous and manly char acter of eastern men, if they do not repel with scorn such base efforts to work on the bad pas sions of our nature. Much .as he is lored in that beautiful West, which will roll up such a vast rote' for him la August, Gilmer it not afraid of the East. Con scious of a pure loyalty to their interests, and baring a high respect for their sagacity, honor and liberality, he will, with the confidence of a generous nature, throw himself in their midst, nd reoeire as hearty a welcome, and as manly and enthusiastic a support, in that noble and chi- ralrous region, as any 'candidate who has yet been before the people. 1 ; We all remember the outrageous and dishon est attempts, four years ago, to misrepresent Mr. Kerr's speech in Greensboro, in certificates se cretly gotten up for Eastern use, and afterwards proved tobe false ; and,per haps, many of pur older friends hare not forgotten the celebrated west era circular, manufactured in this city, and scat tered over the upper counties, to defeat the elec tion of -Wm. A. Graham, and secure that of Mr Hoke, represented as an ultra-western man, in feelings, prejudices and principles, j We would gire a handsome reward for one of -these circu lars just now, and we hope if any of eur friends can get one, they will send it to up, that this clandestine, disingenuous trick may be compar ed with that open and manly address from which the "Standard" is making such a lusty effort to embitter the east, and fan Jhe flame of sectional feeling. THE AMERICAN PARTY. Nerer in the history of this country has any party had so much to contend against 'as the American. The rery fact that it was purtly , broad ly and intensdy national and right in its aims, seems to have heightened the opposition, simply because the old hacks of former parties saw in its rise the foreshadowing of their own doom. Hence their violence, their vituperation, their bit ter and boundless animosity. . But the American Party has survived all the rancor of demagoguism and all . the assaults of governmental power and patronage and still grows apace, still draws to its fold the best patriotism of the country, and will, in the end, number in its ranks all who are unpurchaseable by the spoils or untainted with, Romanism. Bad men and little may have joined it, for the purpose of prostituting it to their rile, selfish and little ends, but these are falling away and goiifg back where they belong to the ranks of that party whose only consistent principle is "thejive loaves and too fshea," and their places are being more than supplied by tried and true men, who go for their country, and their whole -country. It may be safely set down as an indisputable fact, that the deserters from the American party are 1 wilful traitors to pure principle, either from in terested motives or from shee"r cowardice. The party is better off without than with them. Let ' them slide. We want no Arnolds in the camp when the great battle begins. j -There is nothing in the American Platform that, two years ago, was not political scripture to every native American and every truly j Americanized foreigner, in all this broad Union. That all of them" do not now advocate that; platform will hereafter form one of the paradoxes of history, and can be attributed only to fanaticism at the Northland a lore of the spoils in a body of men banded together by no other tie in' both sections Many of the old party leaders, whom the people f have been accustomed to follow! have arrayed themselves against our creed. They attack that creed with but two weapons sophistry and lies. The people (some of them) are bamboozled for the moment, but the time will come when the scales will fall from ther eyes. Nay, they aro already falling, and the dawning streaks of a brighter and better day are making their appearance above the political horizon. I Stand to your arms, Ameri cans. Stand to your anna ! and Fillmore and Gil mer will carry the day 1 1 FILLMORE IN NEW jYORK. The New York Express furnishes the following choering account of the progress Mr. Fillmore is making among the masses of the people in the great city of New York. We receive the same glorious tidings from a large number of our ex changes in the interier of the Empire State. That New York will cast its electoral rote for Fillmore and Donelson. we hare scarcely the shadow of a doubt. The conservative and na tional Whigs and Americans are thoroughly or ganized, and are working enthusiastically in the cause. It is so, too, throughout the Middle, North-Western, and several of the New England, States. Keep the ball in motion : "The Fillmore and Donelson Clubs are in" the field, and their meetings are spirited in feeling, increasing in numbers and full of spirit We at tended one on Tuesday evening in the 13th Ward, where the? attendance was large and confidence high thai all would be well. ' The meeting of the Fifth Ward Donelson and Fillmore Clab on Tues day evening was one of the largest and most en thusiastic we have ever seen. There could hard ly hare been more feeling or a better spirit man ifested in the rery midst of the canvass. Mr, Fillmore's name was received with ehfers as of ten as it was mentioned and honored with rounds of applause. It is a half dozen months or more before the election, but we predict there . will be a constant increase of this, enthusiasm up to the election. The class of persons attending these meetings are not politicians. Thqg are composed of working men, mechanics, property holders, and of those whose first hopes and high est wishes are to. see the Government well ad ministered. We feel the highest encouragement both from the numbers, who attend these meet ings and from the sterling character of those who are present. They betoken an auspicious future, and decree at least one great fact, which ia, that the next great political battle is to be fought, in this country between those who mean to perpet uate the policy and principles of the preseut Ad ministration, and those who mean to Americanize and harmonize the land. There is'nt a ghost' of a chance for any third party, and time will prove this to be true." f Acquittal. The trial of Spencer Sawyer, for the murder of Mr. William Charles, in Pasquo tank County, N. C, about a year ago, came on at the late term of "the Superior Court of that coun ty, Judge Manly, presiding. The tragic circum stances connected with the murder; the promi nent position in society of both the deceased and the, accused, and the d'stinguished legal talent on both sides, gave the trial an extraordinary degree of interest. -The cafe was taken up on Wednes day of last week, and, after a patient add searching trial,, resulted in the acquittal of the prisoner. The Hon. Geo. E. Badger and H." W. Miller, Esql, were employed to defend the accused. 4 J MR. FILLMORE ANDTHE COMPROMISE j" The. Locofoco presses, are seeking, without a shadow of foundation, to produce he impression that Mr. Fillmore's approval and signature of the Compromise measures were reluctant . and coer c d. At a m sa uSee ing held in the city of Ntw Orleans, on- the 12 h instant, for the purpose of ratifying the Philadelphia nominations, Hon. C. - M. Conrad, a member of President Fillmore's cab- inet, presided, j -As the statements of this gentle man in regard to the past or preseut position of Mr. Fillmore on the political issues before the country will .be receive with marked considera tion, even by those of opposite political sentiments, we make room for the following sketch of the remarks made by Mr. C.,-on taking the chair, as we fiud it in the New Orleans papers: 1 Mr. Conrad, on taking the chair, stated the object of the meeting, referring to the Phila delphia convention, and its nominations, and passing a high eulogium upon 'Mr. Fillmore. The speaker alludeU briefly to facts which came under his observation during his connexion with Mr. Fillmore's government and while in Congress.

The question now was, will the people acknowledge the debt by supporting this trne and triad states man He frit C'mfident they would." We will not say that the meeting of the Ajnerican party, last evfbing, at the Court Hoiwe, was an "ovation,7" (although such was the case,) because we wish to avoid- the- use of thia word, which, however aptly it expresses our meaning,' may nevertheless lose force from its frequent re petition ; but we will say that it was a glorious gathering, animated by the best spirit." Dr. Jno L. Meares. President of the Fillmore and onel- sob Club, took the chair, and explained the object of the meeting whereupon Dr. F. J. Hill intro- duced to the audience the Hon. John H.Bryan, -. uijau, of Raleigh, who addressed the assembled crowd in a most able and effective manner. We deem it unnecessary' to give an analysis of his inter-, esting remarks ; he spoke upon the general top- ics of the day, ; and discus ed the principles of the political parties of the country. He alluded j in highly compliroental terms to Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Gilmer,- both of,' whom he knew well, and paid a deserved tribute to their intellectual and moral worth, and their fitness for the respec tive offices for whfJh" they have been set up by their friends. '. -' Upon taking his seat, Gen. John G. Bynum was called upon, and responded at much length, and with more than his usual ability and power of argument and illustration. He proved con clusively that the election of Banks as Speaker was mainly caused by the Democratic party, by the passage . of the resolution introduced by a Southern Democrat, T. L. "Cliugnran, establish ing the plurality rule in place of the majority principle, in the election 4 of Speaker He be- ' uevea tnat this resolution had Ijeen adopted for the purpose of defeating Mr. Aiken, who, al though a highly estimable 'gentleman, had been pronounced by leading Democrats as unqualified for the Speaker's cbair ; and also for the purpose of saddling ther American party with the election of Banks-r-displaying upon this as upon all other occasions a readiness to sacrifice the country, when they thought it would subserve the inter ests of their party. ' He then took up the " Western Address," as it is railed, but which, in reality, is a document upon Constitutional Reform, addressed to the whole peop'e of the State, aud reviewed it in an able and masterly manner. ..He ws -prepared to defend the principles there enunciated, at all times and in all places. They were principles which no party man or press had ever controver ted or could controvert. Democratic papers had abused the address without publishing! 11, ana meir orators naa pursued a like course if denunciation, without ever having read it. -He called upon them to publish and to read. Mr. Gilmer stood upon the .principles of that ad dress ; but, so far as the White 'Basis question was concerned, there was nothing in the address to commit him, Mr. G., to this doctrine not a word. . He illustrated the liberal course of Mr. Gilmer while in the Legislature, aud showed that he supported every work of Iu nal Impr'ove ment.that Wilmington had ever desired that be, with other Western men, had sustaiued the W. & W. Railroad, .whilst Eastern Democrats, between here and Weldon, had opposed it. He showed that under the present basis of re presentation, New Hanover was enti led to tw Senators in he General Assembly, but had puly one, and 'that instead of giving the extra one to Bruuswick, a j county that was identified with ours, it had been given To Onslow- a county which had . generally opposed us in every mea sure demanded of the Legislature. He chal lenged the Democratic or auti-American orators to meet him in' discussion of priuciples at any time, and closed his masterly effort amid hearty applause. - We are conscious of having failed entirely to do justice to this admirable speech, but hope to re pair ine snoricomng at anotner time. ; . John A. Baker, Esq., was next called upon. and addressed the meeting in his us -al able style. r w . . . w-v . i . ue said thattne democratic party professed to have a holy hwrror of the White Basis, when their candidate, Gov. Johnson, of Tennessee, was elected on that very issue, and was sustained by A. 0. P. Nicholson, the present Editor of .the Duion. He spoke at considerable length on the politi cal topics of the day. but we regret that the pres-" sure on our columns is such as to preclude any extended notice of his remarks. The meeting was enlivened by excellent music discoursed by tbe Cornet Baud, and broke up in the best possible temper. WU. Herald. SS" The last "Standard" anuounces that Gov.
