As it delight to exhibit itself io thi good old State, it ia a study worthy of Hogarth- The artUt wha could traoferto caSTass the qairering aspen leaf aod the winds in a wild harlj-barlj, to that joo could actaallj see their msfions, and who could catch the chauginc colors of the ehanie lwo, and pat them Iegitlj in print, is the t-lfted being who might possibly portray all tl.e eh&nges cf the Dcutoeratie partohN'orth Carclina within the last few jearsl Who e-to forest the hard - srrosele maJv j the old Whig party for the improremcat of our Rivers and Roads? Who can forget the vehement denunciations of the Democra cy against them for it, and its pathetic ap peals to the people urging them to put their feet upon the necks of a parcel of aristocrats, who were trying to strangle them with beary taxation Well, in process of time, the De nocratj succeeded. Tb.-y hare long been b power how is it now t Let 'our atatnt hook anwer that question. We have Roads sad taxes enough, for reasonable men. True, rt stand as we were, where we have always stood. We go for tre Railroads and are willing to pay the taxea too, bid we also go for oar just share in the public domain, by which these taxes would be so greatly reduced, as to bo scarcely felt. Oar Democracy used to Le vastly and dis tressingly economical. It wept over the ex-t-arsancies of. the Governor's iee-hoow. It coGoted his spoona. It belittled his corn rrib and called it a chicken coop. It com plained that be had spent $1,500 in repair ing his dwelling. When his accounts show ed that he had spent only about half the sum appropriated, it very consistently complain ed that Le had not spent the whole. The Legislature had appropriated $1,500 for that f arpoe. What business bad Gov. Morehead to decide that less would do ? Year after year, ender Democratic regime, appropriations are now made for repairs and f jroitore. An addition to the Gubernatorial Mansion has been made costing some six thousand dollars. The Governor's salary is eren raised to $3,000. And it is all right. A Democratic Legislature made the Central Ecd all right. It made the Lnnatie Asy- hm all rirht. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on Dx Hill all right. The Democracy stand it all for is it not .! work Neither do we eomplaio. We say also that it is all right just as it should be. The Demoeratie project of boring through 'the Blue Ridge to Baocombe, dear to oar friend of the Standard, may be all right too, we do not know exactly wt do aot expect to re-eooquer Clingman'a district and shall not, therefore, now come in eom retition with our neighbor. . We are not try icg to be Governor neither, nor Senator, and therefore, mean to "wait a wee." We want to see the figures first, aod to count np the ecat. We want also, if we can, to get our ttr of the lands to pay with. tiovernors Morehead and Graham were 4Iy berated for their rarioas extravagancies . about the State House and its groonas. On iaveaUgatioQ of the matter, Governor More head was fo and to be luxuriating io a cold, carpetlese oSee, withoot coal, and with' little wood, with a broken pair of old cast-iron tre-dogs, no shovel, and half a pair of tongs literally, a tong. The other efhcea, like "we, Vcir, both tboT Halls are beautifully carpeted, as are also most of the public c ffices, tenanted by most economical Democrats, and . f .v v- .1- v v.: v r iv- vwv vi iikui vj im wsruij ciuuuuu vi kxicj Celehrat-! Srwwtn fmmittM I The Democracy do not eomplaio of all this. Neither do we. It is all right, and thertfort we approve it. But why did they groan s s'fully over our Governors? Wt have a clear conscience, bnt they ought to sing dirges and dismals through the nose at tkeir ova sice and incoojtutencies. They ought to he particularly nice about spending money a Lea we are so awfully in debt, and onr tax- i so disastrously high, especially since they re so dreadfully patriotic - and economical whet, our Governors wanted al to live like gentlemen ; aod at a time when we paid nail taxes and owed nobody.1' Coder the Whig administration of Govern or Cntam, was constructed the cast-iron fecee arounl the Capitol Square. Who can furget the Deiuocratio howling over Whig extravagance, for spending $19,000 to fence a a f-w dirty aercs of ground which could better h walked over without a fence ? tea Bis Hxcsllency, by all rules of taste, Ut obliged to level th ground which we an iron piquet, ine raisea angle was denom- mated Urabim a Battery, ie.

And the Democracy bless es itself, aod says it is all right. We say si too. But why did you not think so when the Loe old nig party were in me ascend ant, and when we were out cf debt? Were you sincere and honest then ? If so, "where are ye now, Sawney ?" For all these heinous offences, as yon once understood them, not a lisp of disapprobation hare you heard from us, and you never will. But how would you hare hunted down the Whigs, if such things had been do le in those good o!d times, when Dudley, and Morebad, and Graham, and Manly were Governors ! Had you then been told that you would become, when in power, ten-fold, twenty-fold, mors extravagant, yon would hare foamed at the mouth with raer. Vnd quoted scripture at us, "la thy servant dog to do this thing." Some other precious memories of ancient days are before us, which we may hereafter bring np by way of refreshing the spirits of our Democratio friends, who were once so excruciatingly economical, and so horribly aftard of taxation. We believe we have grouped together enough for one chapter. And, now, before we close tho catechism, we ask them to place their hands on their breasts and say whether they do not stand rebuked at the manifest difference between our treat ment of them at present, and their querulous, snarling complaints against us when we were in power Whether they do not see that we now honestly approve in the main their acts above specified because we think them to be right ? And whether they do not also know that they eunningly and hypocritically con demned our acts because they deemed it ex pedient? Whether it is not a characteristic difference between the parties, that one aa a rule pursues the right, the other the expe dient Lastly, whether, all things being eoooidered, they do not feel ashamed of them ielves ? THE CONSUL TO LIVERPOOL. Among the worst of Mr. Buchanan's bad appointments to office is that of Mr. Bsverly Tucker as Consul to Liverpool. We know Mr. Tucker personally, and have nothing to say against him as an individual. But Mr. Tucker as a sociable and agreeable man, and a most adroit lobby member of Congress, and Mr. Tucker in the consulate of a port with which we have more commercial intercourse than any other, atwO very distinct individ uals, and we hesitate not to say that Caligula when he made a consul of his horse, didn't go much more astray than did old Buck when he made Mr. Beverly Tucker our commercial representative at the great mart of Liverpool. There is no conceivable claim that Mr. Tuck er bad oq such an appointment. Neither dignity of. character and deportment, nor business habits and information, can be claim ed'" for the appointee by his most partial friends. Why then was he appointed ? Sim ply because he had been a brawling partixan of Mr. Buchanan. In the Washington Sen tinel, he broke himself down in clamoring for Mr. Buchanan's nomination, and abusing President Pierce, and soon after Walker's freesoil tricks had been played offin Kansas, he came out most impudently over his own rignaturt, with a defence of that transaction, and for ao doing received a most just and se vere eastigation front the Richmond South, which exposed a maneuvre by which Tnoker attempted to create thi belief that the col umns of the South had been closed to him, when in fact the South neither had nor could hare received his eommunication, at the time he complained of his exclusion. The reply of the South to Tncker'a toadying defence of the administration's transactions in Kansas, roundly charges upon Tucker the mercenary object of getting the appointment of marshal of the Distriot of Columbia. What says the South to his appointmeut to a much more exalted poet ? There ia a class of the Demo cratic party who will jostify Mr. Tncker'a appointment just as they would the appoint ment of the President's riding horse, but there is another class, and no small one eith er, who will either ait Inm, or denounce an appointment so unacceptable to the commer cial community of the United States. Among the latter, ia the Martiusbnrg Republican, Democratic, and published nnder the Demo cratic snont of Mr. Charles James Faulkner. The Republican says: w We think we have att idea of the special in fldenccs that wer brought into requisition to pro duce thi3 result, and can eaiiiy conceive the motive of his backerj and do assure them that the people of thi Staja will hereafter hold them to a rigid account. We do not doubt that this appointment of ir. Beverly Tucker, like one or two other ex ecutive appointment recently made from the Sooth-Western portion of this State, was the re sult of a recent coalition amongst tome few feign in authority, and that their recklessness and selflsh nejs wJl sutTer no abatement until eabuk&l by the Ujukun cl Virginia, at ite- &extsesshx3rin th 1 Ml , me room for tte Bedlamite" Go Ternor of , Vircinia.

Our worthy friend Banks has more than once poured something that was uot oil on "Bev.V head, and we . have right to expeet that he will rebuke the ar- pointment in good set phrase, But, we shal see. w THE NATIONALITY OF DEMOCRACY. The Raleigh Standard talks very compla cently of the nationality of the Democratio party. It says the Democracy is national, and of course it is. "Cos vy ?' The Standard says so, and is not its ipse dixit worth a vol ume of conclusions drawn from well estab lished premises ? We apprehend, however, that lordly as is the sway which the Stand ard wields hereabouts, its authority is at a discount in other States and among tho claiming to be as good Democrats as itself, and as well able as it to tell what is and what is not Democracy. The Standard after deooaccing Walker for conduct threatening civil war and bloodshed, suddenly whipped over and became .Walker's defender. To this moment it has never condescended ' to explain conduot which, unexplained, amounts to a very unjustifiable trifling with the in telligence of its readers. The Standard invst have had reasons for first denouncing Walker's proceedings, and reasons for whirl ing right around and defending conduct menacing civil voar and bloods fad. But what those reasons are is known only to the Standard and the Searcher of all hearts. It said Walker was wrong, and expected its readers to say so too, it says Walker is right and expects its readers heartily to concur with it in the absence of any earthly reason prompting them to do so. Tirs is a .truly democratic mode of enlightening the public, and securing a sound popular judgment on a vital polioy ! ! Th above remarks are designed as an in troduction to tha following article from the Lynchburg Republican, an old and consistent Democratio journal - The Standard is in the category of those who are either to be "whip ped in," or "whipped out," as the case may be. It is a "backer and apologist" of Walk er It is true, it didn t "sneeze" when Walker firat took the Kansas free soil snuff, but it has since whistled through its nose loud enonzh to make np for lost time. The Republican has marred its otherwise good article by clapping Buchanan on the back when it should know that Walker acted by h;s instructions. But we will let it speak, for itself: "Thev intend their position as the true Democ racy of the country, and intend to whip in or whip (Hit all who attempt to subvert the true principles if our party by a base pandering to the unholy ambition of party leaders. In other words, tney intend to whip Walker, his apologists and back ers, into an open acknowledgment of the true principles of our party and of the Kansas Nebras ka act. This will be no difficult task to accom plish. Indeed, it is already accomplished. Wal ker ha backed down from his position Mr. Ba chanan has come out over his own name, aud an nounced the true State's right doctrine ; and, of course, the few scheming journals in the bouth who sustained aiaer, will involuntarily "cave in," and '-hurrah for the black cock as tney saui before." Shakpeare has drawn the prototype of these in the play of iiamlet with the vigor and skill of a consummate artist ; Hamlet Do you see yonder cloud that's al most in shape of a caml ? Prouius. By the mass, and 'tis like a camel, indeed. lltndet. Me thinks it like a weazel ? PcIoiuhs. It is backed like a weazel. Hamlet. Or, like a whale, T 1'elon'uis. It's very like a whale. "Walker is a camel, a weazel, a whale, or any thing else that his supple apologists think it to their interest to call him. k u We have frequently heard it said in contempt of time serving politicians, that they invariably sneezed when their master took snuff. - It appears that, in the case of the Walker apologists, they an ticipated Mr. Buchanan and sneezed before he took snuff; for it is certain from his Silliman let ter, that he never did take snuff he never did endorse Walker's conduct." THE ASIIEVILLE SPECTATOR AND THE STATE FAIR. The Asheville Speota tor, among other ob jections to holdiog the State Fair here, al leges the difficulty of getting something to eat. j We know, and like, too, one of the Ed itors of the Spectator, (we have not the pleas ure of the other's; acquaintance,) and can appreciate his feelings. He is like ourself, of very considerable personal bulk, weighing not over some two hundred pounds, (!) and consequently it takes a good deal to feed. him. Should he i venture to come to' the Fair, as we hope he will, we will have a mountain beef killed for his especial picking. If ho doesn't coma after 'this tender of bo vine hospitality, we shall with "honest Jack" say he hasn't "manhood to serve to be pro logue to an egg and butter.' In. Pbess. .vir, T. B. Peterson, 806 Chesout street, Philadelphia, will issue on the 26th inst., a volume by that accomplish ed authoress, now no more, Mrs. Caroline Lee-Uentx, entitled "the Lost Daughter, and other true Stories of the Heart ;". and on the 3d of October, will issue Mrs. Hale's "Receipts for the Million, containing 4,545 receioU, facts, directions, knowledge &c" SUGAR AND BREADSTUFFS. I The last advices from Liverpool inform us of a further decline in sngar and breadstoffs.

' 1 Breadstuff's are tumbling all over the Uui ted States, and still the tendency is down- j ward. Things are reachiog the level that is in the long run. best for producers, as well aa consumers. Last week, good flour sold in this placo at $6 a bbl., and this week, we learn it can be bought at $5 50. ' - ' 1 New corn has been in' market at $1 a bushel but it was not hard enough to be gath ered. It was deoidedly mi'ky, too hard for roasting ears, and not hard enough for either bread or food for stock. The , venders . of this description of corn are evidently afraid of declining prioes, as well they may be, and are anxious to get as much as $5 a bbl. for this immature corn rather than wait until it is sufficiently hardened, for by that time corn will be plenty at $2 50 and $3 a bbl. The above was written on Wednesday, and the mail of that evening brought us the accounts by the Persia with Liverpool dates to the 5th inst. From these, we see that breadstuff s have advanced. These fluctua tions must be expected, and are often pro duced, by the devices of speculators for tem porary purposes. It is likely enough that the next accounts will inform us that bre ad- stuffj have dropped back again. , - Hon. Edward Stanlt and his .Southirh Coadjutors. When it was announced that Stanly had accepted the Black Republican nomi nation: for the Governorship of California, his conduct was rather faintly disapproved of by the Know-Nothing organs in this btate. it was not until the after the Standard had sharply commen ted on their lukewarm disapproval that they came forward and proclaimed him a traitor to Southern rights, and even then with evident reluctance. Our contemporary of the Warrenton News is much mistaken as far as the "Raleigh Reg ister" is concerned, for contemporaneously with the "Standard" we expressed our re- grot at Mr. Stanly's course, and at the same time reprobated it. Bnt suppose we had not done so, does it befit the mouth of an abettor of Robert J. Walker, to denounce any body for "treason to the South V We rather opine contrary wise, Mr. News.

JACKSON'S SNUFF-BOX. When will they cease boring the public about Old Hickory's snuff-box." With some editors, the disposition of this snuff box seems to have swallowed np all other subjects. For our own part, we don't care a pinch of snuff what becomes of Gen.

The first hale' of new cotton per Wilmington and Weldon Railroad was re ceived here yesterday by Messrs. Petteway & Pritchett, and sold this morning to Mr. A.;D. Cazaux for 20onts per pound. The cotton was raised by Major A. J. M. Whitehead, of Duplin, aud is classed as middling. WiL Herald. j Fire. A daring attempt was made about 1 0 o'clock last evening to fire the turpentine yard of Joseph R Blossom, E$q., on North Water street, foot of Mulberry which, but for the timely dis covery by the guard, and their prompt action, would have resulted in a dangerous conflagration. The fire was beyond doubt the work of sin incen diary, as it had been kindled under two casks of spirits of turpentine, and at the time of the dis covery, one of the casks was nearly burned through.' Our citizens should be on their guard, as these frequent attempts at arson prove the pres ence in our midst of villains who should be ar rested if possible. Ibid. Stabbed, A difficulty occurred last night on the wharf, foot of Princess street, between Wm.' Castillo and James Flinn, seamen from the wreck of the Schr. Emily Ward, in which James Flinn. was stabbed in the abdomen and arm. . Dr. Jas. F. Me Bee was called to tho wounded man, but has very little hopes of his recovery. Castillo was arrested, and after a hearing this morning before hi Honor the Mayor, was committed for trial. Ibid. It is proposed to make a new county out of Burke and Yancy counties. The Asheville Spec tator suggests to those concerned, the propriety of naming it Mitchell, in honor of the late Pro fessor, who did so much for Western Carolina and the State generally. We notice that Major J. C. Turner, chief en gineer of the Western North Carolina Railroad has been applied to by the President and Direc tors of the French Broad Road to make a survey and locate that road. Should he comply, a dorp3 of engineers will immediately begin the survey. 4 : 4 Fbee Suffrage. Gov. Bragg has issued his Proclamation, stating that, wherea3, at theflate election, held pursuant to an act of the General Assembly, there appears to have been cast fifty thousand and ninety-five votes in favor of Free Suffrage to nineteen thousand, three hundred and eighty-tw) votes against it, the said - proposed amendment of Uie Constitution has been approved and ratified, and. is now a part of the Constitution of the State. Melancholy Suicide. A friend informs us by letter under date of the 14th inst., says, the Charlotte Democrat, that James Henry Robinson, son of Wm. Robinson, Esq., of the Goldsboro' Tribune, committed, suicide on the 1 1th inst'. by shooting himself in the head with a pistol, j No cause has been assigned for the terrible act. f He was about 17 years old, had been a student of the University, and bid fair to be a talented and use ful man. We deeply sympathize with his father in this his hour of sore a miction. The unfortu nate young man was buried in Goldsboro' on Sun day last. ' '$ i Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad. We learn from the Charlotte Dem ocrat that Col. A, P. Cansler has commenced work on his contract for grading the Road from Catawba River towards Charlotte. Other icon tractors contemplate commencing work about the 1st of October. ; l "Mr. Buchanan maintains that, under the.Con stitufion, the slaveholders of the South have a riht to carry into: the territories acquired at the expense of the common blood and treasure of all sections of the Confederacy, their negro property, which is recognized as such in that compact of union. He does not merely say the : Supreme Court have so decided, but affirms the doctrine as the absolute conclusion of his own judgment. " Hoto," he declares, it could ever have been se riously doubted, is amy stery." The South. ' It is a little curious that Mr. Buchanan' him self was among those who not only "seriously doubted " this doctrine, but asserted directly its opposite. In 1849, we think it was, he took the ground in a public speech that slavery could not go into California, (then, a territory) without the enactment of a law by competent authority, es tablishing the institution there. About the same time, in a letter to a gentleman of Alabama, he laid down the doctrine that Congress had absolute and exclusive power over the subject of slavery in me territories. , ine iact is, iiir. cucnanan nas held so many and such contradictory opinions upon nearly all important 'public questions, that we regret to say we cannot unite with our respec ted contemporary, in the importance ascribed to the position he happens to hold at this time, upon the subjects 'referred to in the foregoing extract. .

Brigham -Young has j made two inflammatory speeches to the "Saints," declaring It to be the duty of the faithful to resist the efforts pat forth by the government for their extermination ; and stating, in positive terms, that a separation of "the kingdom" from every other kingdom is close at hand in other words, that the act of government in dispatching troops against Utah ia to be con sidered fair ground tor refusing to yield obedience to federal laws. Brigham, moreover, asserts that should government send other officials to Utah of the same stamp as those who have heretofore been commissioned, "they ' will ' require more than twenty-five hundred soldiers to protect them from Mormon fury." We make the following extracts from one of Brigham's speeches : ' ' . .

The sales of the public lands ought to amount every year, to ten or fifteen millions of doUars-4-and would do it, but for the unjust find swindling system of granting the very best of them to the railroad sharpers and speculators of the North West. The public lands are intended aa a source i of revenue to the General Government but, in that respect, they are comparatively worthless. In view of the rascality which attends their pre sent management and disposition, we are almost tempted to wish that the United States did not own an acre at the present time, and never could acquire another acre for all time to come. It cor rupts, alike the Government and the people. Lrynchbwrg Virginian. ' . - i NEWS ITEMS'' : - A despatch dated Canton, , Bradford County, Pa., Sept. 12, says that W. H.
