Slaves into Kansas "might " bring Kansas into the Union as a Slave State, we demand of the Standard, why it - is tbey teili tut do tot This is a plain question for the Standard, and if it does not answer it, (as we are qaUe sure it will not) it will be because it is an organ of a party, whose per formances bare not n speaking acquaintance with it promises, n party which to obtain possession of the spoils of government, would ut promise the promises by which the Devil tempted the Saviour of mankind.- As to our position about the "Kansas Nebraska Bill," we hive not changed it at all. .The princi ple we approve, but we candidly confess that w wer very silly in supposing, with all our experience of '. their past tricks, that the Democratio party would ever carry into prac tice aay principle that did not suit their in- teebtsb supposing, in fact, that tbey ever had any "principle" besides the magic "Sev en."

It is rumored that the Oak City Guards, from Baleigh, will visit our city on the 24th inst. Should rumor prove true, we can only say that the Oak City boys will find Peters burg with her arms and doors all wide open and a gallant escort to do Ummo the hon-r of Cockade hospitality. Indeed, we should be highly pleased to welttirne to our city the soldtay of Kaloigh, as we believe it nas never Honored us witn a muita- rv visit.

We hope the Company's ranks will be well filled.. .: v ; . .. If Mr. Buchanan is at all concerned for the good opinion and support of the Southern Demo cracy he frboold put a stop to th Enquirer's mis chievous agitation. Already has its indiscretion seriously embarrassed his Administration. If it be allowed to persist in its course th President will soon find himself without a solitary friend b the slaveholdbg States. For, if we understand that an approval of Walker 'a usurpations is the test of attachment to the Administration, and that every Democrat who denounces the Kansas iniquities snust be excommunicated as a schis matic,'' the party will exist only as a tradition in the South. There is no mistaking the drift of popular sentiment in this section. The tone of the press and the declarations of public men have long since shown that Walker is execrated wher ever a Southern heart glows with the spirit of pa triotism. Now, the people begin to speak la their own imposing majesty. Tbo MiHadgeville meet ing conveys an impressive admonition. - Every circomstrance contributed to enhance th signifi cance of the demonstration. .The assembly was composed of th very elite of the Georgia Democ racy ; the late Governor of the State presided for the occasion; speeches were delivered by distin guished members of Congres j ; and after mature deliberation they adopted a series of resolutions expressing confidence in Mr. Buchanan, but de manding the recall of Walker. Does the Enqui rer now see the distinction ? .- After this sugges tive demonstration is it still unable to reconcile a conviction of Walker's treachery with a friendly, deposition towards the President? Will it con tinue to fulminate its Vatican thunder against th u faction uU 7" Undoubtedly it may thus distin guish its devotion to the 'President, for if it per sists in the policy it will soon stand alone in sup port of the Administration Rick, Sotdfu . RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS. All the New Orleans Banks resumed specie pay ments in full, on Tuesday. So says the telegraphy If the Crescent City was aniong the last to foul the "panic," it is thus the first to recover. The hopeful money articles b the journals, for some days past, prepared the way for this gratifying announcement . The large amount of specie in th vaults of th city Banks shows thoir readiness to resume specie payments whenever the country Banks are ready to co-operate with them. -It will exceed $20,000,000 next week, and the Journal, of Commerce- thinks will equal $22,000,000, larger amount by .several millions than. was ever in the Bank before. - -. , The Banks of Ohio, it is said, will be prepared to reaurao specie payments nearly as soon as those of the East. . Gold is daily becoming more abundant and cheaper at Cincinnati, and there a re more sell ers than buyers at 2 and 3 premium. The accounts from Maryland, Chicago and St. Louis are of similar tenor. ; . , . ,v ,.,;fi fi In Alabama Gov. Winston in his message names the mofith of Mav next as the latest time at which specie payments should be resumed. W hope before May next to see that all our Banks hav resumed. A. J'. Exprees. ;.; A CinfCHEo. Th Lynchburg RepnblUan, a real live Democratic paper, says that - if lb Ad ministration does not remove Walker, the Senate will reject his nomination, or proee faUAless1 io the rights and hutur of the South. ' . . Upon which declaration, the Petersburg Intel' lioencrr makes the following comment, which is entirety unanswerable : -. " . " " Why does the Republican pronounce' a sen tence against tho Senate that it will not pronounce against the administration T What greater culpa bility will there bo in the Senates allowing Walk er to retain his place, thai! there Is in the admin istration ftobgthe same thing? If the Senate would prove itself M faithless 'to the rights and honor of the South' bjf' keeping him in office, does not the administration prove itself " faithless to the rights and honor of the South " by keeping him in office? If there be law or logic in the world this is so, but the Republican that denounces the Senate in advance for its possible infidelity to the South, eulogizes the President, whose infi delity is established.

MrHolden.appearedahd delivered, one of . -i- r1 ' ' ' the abkst and most practical Agrundtural speeches ever, mado in- the: StatO of North Carolina. I know this is strong Janguage, and may be consid ered, by some, too enlogisuc ; bu when the speech shalLhavo been published, as it will be, I think an Impartial public will consider.: it jnst. It was well. conceited b every particular and admirably deli vered.K The universally expressed opinion in regard to it was, that b .thought and conception it fujlyi sustained thi; weli-esrued- repatatien of the Speaker as agentletcaa of suprinp ability, jand extraordinary mind, and its delivery m very ad mirably:performedv Mr Holden is destined to become, not merely joe of North Carolina's ablest -writers, as he is now acknowledged to be, but one of her most eloquent and , accomplished speakers. The speech was delivered : with great deliberation and perfect ease, without any appearance of stiff ness. It occupied about an "hour and a half, per haps a little more, and was listened to with mark ed attention. In the s opening I of his speech the speaker traced with a masterlyi hand the depend ence upon each other, of the Agricultural, Mechan ical, and Commercial interests of the country.: i Upon this part of his subject; his remarks were most happily conceived, and no one could fail to see tiie relations sustained by tne one respectively to .tne ether., And now intimately tuey stood con nected to each other. He next entered into a comparision of the Agriculture of North Carolina with that of. Virginia, ana -South Carolina, and I showed most conclusively ; that, while-: the two latter have wecredit, before thewor W, of exporting agricultural products much more largely than tbo former, North Carolina .would be ahead of either, according to population, were she only true to her self and would provide her ownJ means $nd ways, of exportbg her own products, lybk tothe interests of her own citizens, and depend ' less Jupon those who frequently seem to take, pleasure ' in- sReein at her.' While on this subject, the speaker entered largely into the' statistics of the Btlte, and paid Du plin county a highly deserved compliment. -After d weUing-at considerable length upon North Caro lina and her high-toned ' integrity," Mr. ' Holden passed to a consideration of our good 'old State's relations to the" Union, as a member of our' great confederation of Status, aud concluded his able' and instructive address with" a most eloquent ap peal to the patriotism of the country."
