AMERICAX WHIG CONTEXTIOX. uWhoa and whera shall the Coo ran Sou of the Ameriraa Whl party be held V . We. hopa our Editorial friends throOxhoat th Slate wb have not taken down the fiat: of their party, will speak out on the occasion. For oae, we am in favor of Kaleigh as the r4ae and some time in May as the time. Speak out brathraa and let us hear from Toaa- : ;.. j- v.' Ah! are you there, frimd Mann I And so you think that all the Whig and American Editors from whom you dissent, on . a mere point of policy have "hauled down the flag of their party, and you are prepared to put out of the pale of the party the Wilmington ilerald, the Salisbury Watchman,' the New-. bern Express and the Raleigh Register. ' As one of those proposed to be thus taboosd, we tell you frankly, but most respeetfally, that we neither hare hauled .down the flag of our party, nor shall we permit' it to be hauled down by any body else without our consent. We hoisted that flag long before you ever wrote a line for, or in, a newspaper, and the lift lapse of twenty years finds it waring where ever waved, and where it ever will wave, ontin judgment and conscience shall bid us haul it down,' and then it will. come down' ''with a run but nd till then. . - Another, thing, friend Mann, we tell you in all kindness that Whig and American Editors cannot afford (even bad they the in clination, and assuredly we have none,) to be disputing among themselves, and reading each other out upon a single d;fferenee of opinion, and we, for one, cannot be induced to take part in-such proceeding. Claiming no authority on our own part to read out any bod y, we recognise no authority on the part of any body else to read us " out. The ink is hardly dry in which we exposed the despot ic course ot the Raleigh Standard, in expell ing men from its party, on the ground that it bad not the power to say who had or who bad not hauled down bis flag, and consisten cy, if no higher mo tiro, would prevent our acting like the Standard ourself, or submit ting to such action against us by any body else.

If you do hold your con vention, we sincerely hope we may be agree ably disappointed as to its effeots, and that it may accomplish all the good you have in view. Wo doubt, however, . and we doubt because we bare in our possession information which justifies the belief that if the conven tion shall be held; it will not be cordially united in, and we need not tell as intell;gent a gentleman as our' Elisabeth City contem porary that a oonventioo, either sparsely at tended or divided in its counsels, would not be a very auspicious imprimatur to the nom inated oandidate. !

The first genuine snow storm of the winter set in this (we write on Friday) morning at about daybreak. The snow, is falling fast as we go to press, and the pros pect is that it will be deep enough to block up the railroads and detain the mails. . Fatal Accmurr. We learn that an accident occurred on the plantation of Mr. J. J. Lee, in this county, about ten miles from Raleigh, on the 8th inst, which. resulted in the instanx death of a sprightly negro girl about 12 years of age. It seems that a free negro man was felling a tree, and the girl (his daughter) was going towards him to carry him water, when she was caught be neath the falling tree and instantly crushed to death. .

Tbe.flames then communicated to the collector's office and then spread rapidly until about 30 dwellings and outhousea were consumed.
