A VERY SENSIBLE AlfD PERTINENT QUESTION. The Milton Chronicle, speaking of the Sen ate's amendment to the Leoompton Bill, by which the "1864 clause" was stricken out of the Constitution of Kansas, asks, by what sj ' ' ' authority can it (the Senate) say this section shall stand as a part of the Kansas Constitu tion t hat shall not! Doea it not amaok of making a Constitution for Kansaa ! Surely it "smacks," and rauoh more than "smaoks," of "making a constitution for Kansas." The Leoompton Constitution either was, or waa not, a lawfully made Constitution as a whole. If it was not lawful as a whole, it should hare been rejected. If it was lawful as a whole, it was lawful in all its parts, and Con gress has no more right to strike out "the 1SC4 clause" than to strike out the cltuses concerning the Jndi cisry, the Legislative and the Executive. ' We defy ingenuity to get around the argument. It is unanswerable. BANKS AS BUCKINGHAM. Oar old friend Banks, lately editor of tbe South Side Democrat, and now one of the Printers to the House of Representatives, figured at Senator G win's fancy ball, as "deep-revolving, witty Buckingham."

ORGANIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION LARO it ASSEMBLAGE OF DELEGATES THE FRIENDS OF HOLDEN AND ELLIS ABOUT EQUAL LY DIVIDED, AtL, Ac. Correspondence of the Raleigh Register. Chablotts, April 14, 1858. I arrived in this place on last Monday night. It is a very pretty and flourishing town, arid wears a very modern appearance mora than a person acquainted with its revolutionary inci dents would presume es, upon the whole, as comfortable a "hornet 'l nest" as one could expect to find. On my arrival here I found delegates to the De mocratic Slate Convention from fourteen coun ties. They were thoroughly organised, and were working with all their might for their favorites. Thus matters were until Tuesday night, when the trains brought in about three hundred delegates from different portions of the State. This caused some excitement among the friends of the rival candidates. Upon a close examination, it was discovered that Holden and Ellis were about equal, while Clingman's District was strong for At err. A great many counties represented were considered doubtful, and many anxious eyes were turned to them. Tbe friends of Holden and Ellis commenced electioneering with the delegates from these counties, and spread themselves. So matters progressed until 10 o'clock, A. M Wednesday, when the delegates assembled in the Court House. The Convention was called to order by Gen. Trollinger, of Alamance, who moved that Capt John Walker, of Mecklenburg, be appointed temporary Chairman. The motion being carried unanimously, Capt. Walker assumed tbe Chair and thanked tho Convention for tho honor con ferred on him. In allusion to the purpose for which the convention had assembled, ho said he was for principles, not men. He invoked the delegates to cherish a spirit of concord and har-. nvony, to prepare, after they had expressed them selves for their favorites, to support the nominee of the convention. On motion of CoL Humphrey, of Onslow, Geo. Howard, Jr, Esq., of Wilson, and Wra. J. Yates, Esq., of Charlotte, were appointed Secre taries. " All the counties in the State were represented except .the following: Bertie. Columbus, Gates, Harnett, Hertford, Hyde, McDowell, Perquimans, Ashe, Camden, Polk, Robeson, Tyrrell, and Wa tauga. About five hundred delegates reported them selves from other counties. On motion of Dr. Blow, of Pitt, a committee of two from each Congressional District was ap pointed to report permanent officers for tha Con vention. The delegations from the various districts ap pointed places of meeting, and then, on motion of Mr. Burgwynn, the Convention took a recoss of half an hour. At tbe expiration of that time the chairman called the convention to order, and announced the following gentlemen a committee to select offi cers: Messrs. Burgwynn, Baxter, Ward, Clark, Taylor, Steele, Hawkins, Bullock, Williams, Per son, Hargrove, Stafford, Henderson, Lander, Thomas and Dickson. , Tho committee having retired, calls were made for Mr. Dortch, of Wayne, who excused himself from making a speech by saying that be was a lawyer, and sometimes addressed jorie but did not indulge in tbe habit of making political speeches.' ' ., ' - Loud calls were made foe J,obn Kerr, of Cas well. That geaUemaa. arose- im tha. assembly, -WEDNESDAY MORNING, and attempted to speak, but was told to go to tbe stand.' As be ascended tne stana ne was greetea with tumultuous applause and cheering. Mr Kerr said, that if be did not belong to that class i of men denoted w voung Americans." he should decline speaking. He did not intend. to excuse himself from sneaking on the plea of not being prepared, for -with a lawyer and politician, speech- making was nothing. (Jjaugnter.j - aa was al ways ready to state bin position when called upon. He wis now acting with the Democratic party, because he believed it to be the only party that could protect the rights of the South. He spoke of Distribution as being impracticable. The Southern people should not suffer any question of minor importance to divide them. 1 ney stxmld stand pp as One man in defence of their constitu tional Tights. He loved the Union as ardently as a mad could. He was proud, as an American? wnen tie contemplated tbe progress ana achieve ments of his country but he could not submit to AOrtnern tyranny, wnen' tne JNorw refuses to regard the rights guarantied tons by the consti tution! be was in favor of dissolving the Union. Mr. K. spoke of tho opposition to the administra tion, and was very severe on the Black Republi cans, i He was very eloquent and sarcastic in all bis remarks, and was frequently interrupted by applause ana jcneenng. ; ? ;r . zs,r iC i At the conclusion of Mri TKerr'sspeeeh, the Coni vennoa adjourned to meet again at 3 o'clock. ''--- When tho Convention met bt that time the committee submitted a resolution, recommending Gen. 0. M. Avery, of Burke, for President, with eight Vice Presidents one from each Congress ional District and Col. J. W. Alspaugb, of For ty the,: George Howard, Jr., of Wilson, and W. F. Greeny or irranklin, secretaries. - The President, on taking the Chair, delivered an address of some length, thanking the Conven tion for the compliment, and reviewing the posi tion of parties at tbe present time. In conclusion, he expressed the hope that the proceedings pf the Convention would be conducted in a harmonious manner, and would redound to the interest and prosperity of the State. A Committee was appointed to draft resolutions for the consideration of the meeting. Loud calls were made for J. W. Osborne, of Charlotte; that gentleman snowed himself and was greeted with every manifestation of welcome, as he walked to the stand. The address of this gentleman was very eloquent and was gracefully delivered. I have not time to give you the sub stance of his remarks. I will simply say he ex pressed his cordial approval of Mir. Buchanan's Administration and defended it with great power and eloquence. , . Mr; Steele, of Richmond, Mr. Williams, of Al amance, and other gentlemen, responded to calls made Upon them for speeches, and tne Convention adjourned till 8 o'clock, P. M. When the Convention wasaetun called to order. speeches were made by Mr. Mordecai, of Wake, Air. Thompson, or Wayne, and others.. About nine o'clock, Mr. Kerr, from the committee, re ported a preamble and four resolutions : the first endorsed Mr. Buchanan's Administration, espe cially bis course on the admission of Kansas un der the Lecompton Constitution ; the second was complimentary to Gov. Bragg ; the third recom mended a judicious system of internal improve ments ; and the fourth was against Distribution. Mr. Kerr made some remarks, after which the Convention adjourned till nine' o'clock A. M. to morrow. I should have said tbat the resolutions were unanimously adopted. i nave not time to write more as the train ia on the eve of sterling. WARREN. From the Richmond Whig. THE SHELL AND THE OYSTER. , The Washington correspondent of the Colum bia South Carolinian reports Mr. Bishop, a Bu chanan Democrat from Connecticut, as saying tbat the admission of Kansas, under tbe Lecomp ton constitution, was a measure which " give the oyster to the North and the shell to the South ; "and if," sail he, the.South is satisfied with the shell, I don't see why the North should complain." This as the Columbus Enquirer observes, is the Not t hern Democratic view of the Lecompton con stitution with the Green amendment, and it is now admitted, even by many ultra Southern Demo crats, that Bishop is right ; but' strange to say, these same South-savers are eager to denounce every Whig and American as a traitor or apos tate who is unwilling to see the South feeding on shells I . Certainly this was net tbe least we were asked to attend during the Presidential election. Surely, shells did not then figure on tbe bill of fare ; and we think, in the end, unless the South possesses the digestive powers of the ostrich, that such food will set very heavy on her stomach. We should not be surprised if such diet prepared by tbe most accomplished Washington cooks, and spiced high with Southern vinegar and pepper, would cause her to dream strange dreams and pro phecy strange prophecies. But this same correspondent makes a sUU more astounding disclosure. He says : u It is said that Calhoun was urged in the strongest possible manner, to make the decision he has made, by three prominent political characters from Georgia, and one from Mississippi. I will not mention their names doubtless it will come out as a part of the history of tbe times." Now, this decision of Calhoun, together with the atrocious Green amendment, will give Kan- i immediately two Freesoil Senators and one Representative in Congress, fir a population numbering only about half of her proper repiesen tation. But let this pass for the present, and hear the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, as to the identity of those wise Southerners who urged Calhoun to make this unrighteous decision. " Tell it not In Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon ;" but the Mail asks this leading question : " Are Messrs. Cobb, Toombs, and Stevens, of Georgia, and Secretary Thompson, of Mississippi, tbe 'prominent political characters' above alluded to. We suspect so." These, in all probability, are the leading and in fluential Southern Democrats, who Senator Iver son declared, had urged Calhoun to give certifi cates of election to the Free soil delegates, thus putting Kansaa in complete possession of the Black Republicans. Who would have thought that Toombs, and Stephens, and Cobb, and Thompson would thus have advised the betrayal of Southern rights in Kansas? ! In conclusion, see what the Mobile Advertiser, the leading Democratic paper in Alabama, says of the Green amendment, which the South says, is a very innocent and harmless thing : .- This little HnnocenC amendment declares that Congress docs not recognize the rights of pro-slave-ry minorities to protect themselves by constitu tional limitation, and thus put3 Kansas slavery at tbe mercy of freesoilism ; but then, just think of the trouble that would ensue, if we did not con ciliate our abolition brethren of the North. It is true, tbat we Democrats at home who fight in the ranks, have rather a hard time Of it in convinc ing the South that she is not sold ; but Who cares for the Democratic people, so long as those who pretend to be Democratic leaders in Washington can advance one step nearer the White House by conciliating freesoilism. . Mr. Green's amend ment declares that Congress does not recognize the right of a Convention of tbe people of Kan sas to limit and prescribe tbe time and manner of changing a Constitution made by a popular ma jority fur the protection of a minority. Indi rectly implying that Congress may limit the right of a Constitutional Stato Convention, or a Legis-laterer APRIL 21, 1858. j FUNERAL OF COL. BENTON.

We have often been aston ished at suddenly seeing persons .spreading them selves as well off in the world; we wondered how came such so, as we ould not see any available means in the ordinary way. On enquiry, some person who knows at all times all things about every one, whispers " Lottery Ticket," and the whole mystery is solved. The man that cannot make money any other way secures at times a for tune by 'a lucky ticket. . . . We have just received a visit from S.'
