The .move being once . . . - . made, however, on the, part 01 tne- loooiocus, we find the whig diligent and active to give tae people equal nguis ua u targest uwy at the polls.' Let' every honest free man read the record and see if he can say that the whig have at any time Tailed to show themselves friendlT lo the extension of Dooular right in Korth Carolina.. The bitterest oononents of the party will look in vain to find where a whig moved to stave -off or iadefinitelj postpone any bill for the amendment -of she Constitu tion ; y Nor didthey offer jsny until ihe loeofo eos fuddealy sprang the issue upon them as above mentioned r and then, the truth is aban dsntly erident that tbey proved to be far more xealou. on 'the sobjeet of Constitutional Re form,' than the loeofoeos, and were found, when their most active members grew weary and dis heartened, still pressing lorward and crying out in favor of reform. vBut we are as yet hard lf berun with the 'proof we have to establish this important' fact. It; appears from the Journals that the bill did not again come up until the 17th of Janua ry, when it seems that Mr. T. R. Caldwell, a whir from -Burke, moved that the House pro ceed to the consideration of the bill providing for - the amendment of the Constitution, which motion prevailed J aad he and others proposed some two or three amendments, all of which failed.' The -vote was finally taken, - and the bill passed its third and last reading in the House 75 to 21 : nearly all the whigs voting for it, as above shown on its second reading. .The biu as passed was reported to the sen ate on the 30th of January, and passed its first reading co one having taken the responsibili ty of introducing such a bill into the Senate previous to that - time. But the House had, contrary to the expectations of the loeofoeos io the Senate, passed the free suffrage bill, and sent it to thetu, notwithstanding the whirs had a majority in the House. So on Monday, January 22nd, after caucassing nearly all Sat urday night and Sunday, the Senate proceeded at last to the further consideration of the bill the House had so unwelcomely thrust upon them. - In the Senate, as ia the House, Mr. Gilmer, iwhig, takes the lead, by moving to strike out the word Commonwealth in the preamble, and insert that of State. This amendment prevail ed. When Mr Shepherd moved to strike out all of the preamble, which motion was loot. When lo I to the great astonishment of all, Mr. Hawkins, from "gallant little Warren," as the loooe like to call it, a full grown Drmocrdl, once tore, aad fur' the fourth time on the part of the loeofoeos, who inform the people that they, and their party, are the exclusive and only true friends of free suffrage, gravely and de liberately moved that the bill be 1XDEFI NITELx POSTPONED 1 1 But his motion did not prevail, though several of the strongest leaders of the party voted for it, Mr. Rogers, of Northampton, (the home of Mr. Bragg.) and Thompson, of Wake, being among the number. ' After the vote was announced, Mr. Wood fin, Mr-Smith and Mr. Gilmer, each in turn proposed to amend the bill, all of which amend ments were instantly voted dowa by the unani mous vote of their opponents ; after which the Senate took a recess. But the bill did not come ap again until January 23d, when it came up as the unfinished business of the Senate, when the vote was token on its second reading, and was lost by three fifths of the whole number of the Senate not voting for the bill Messrs. Rog ers of Northampton, Spicer and Thompson of Wake, all loeofoeos, with others, having voted against the measure. And here it may be ap propriately observed, that we defy any one to show a single move or motion, ou the part of th loeofooo party, or any one of its member, from the 8th of December 1848, op to the 24th of January, 1849, a period of 46 days to take up, hasten or expedite the passage of the bill. On the contrary they were all silent as the grave, antil the bill came ap in it course, or Mr. Ray ner or some other whig moved to suspend the J rules aad .proceed to its consideration. It would not appear so bad, however, if this was all. But'tinfortunstelv for them, and still more so for the Treasury of the State, and the tax pagers of Uorth Varolina, it appears, after introducing the bill into the Uonse, and keeping it there for nearly two months, that no less than four of their prominent members moved the poslne ment of 'the free suffrage bill. And when they coord not kill it in this way, many of them fi nally voted against. And let it it be borne io mind that Mr. Thompson, of Wake, who was completely, under the control of W. W. Uolden so mach so, indeed, that he prevailed upon the reverend gentleman, though he was bitterly opposed to the. North Carolina Railroad, to vote for it 1 1 And who is W. W. Holden, pray? The very head, front and soul of the Raleigh junto or party cabal, who brought out David S. Raid and mounted him on the free suffntye hob by. We have not a shadow of doubt remaining on oar mind, as to the fact that If olden advised and procured the reverend Mr. Thompson to east his vote against th free suffrage bill, and thos kill it so as to have it io the power of the loeofoeos to run dainty Davy once or twice more ! on this famous bobby. If this matter bad not all been previously arranged bv the oartv in caucus, why was it that Mr. Thompson, of Wake wae not abused, traduced, deuounced, black guarded aud vilified as Mr. Edwards a an at the last Legislature for voting against the same measure? Yes, why did iiotthe Editor of the Standard jheu as at the Iatt eeuhioo of the Leg islature, declare that free suffrage should paes ? Can any living member of the unterririyd pro gressive locofoco party assign a good reason why W. W. Uolden, one of the god fathers of this popular bantling, so graciously and meek ly suffered the free suffrage bill to "be so quiet ly and decently buried in 1848-"9 by Messrtf. Hawkins, Rogers, Faison, Thompson, and oth ers, without raising bis voice agaiust their treachery I Why, we ask again, were not these gentlemen denounced ia '48-'9, as Mr. Edwards was the winter before last? No other answer can be given than the one we nave suggested, tie. no qoudi, with a ma .a ww . . jority of bis party, wished and planned to have the mil defeated ; consequently, not a drum was heard nor a funeral note, when the bill wa buried at the expense of the State, from the or gan of. the locofoco in North Carolina; though many of them laughed aad declared that free suffrage would have a resurrection. " But the record of 1848-9 does not stop here. Mr. Rayner, after he bad heard of the failure of the free suffrage bill , in the Senate, forth with introduced a bill to call a Convention to amend the Constitution of the State, which wa read the first time and passed. At 7 o'clock the same day; Mr. Rayner moved to suspend the rale they . wera suspended, and tha the bill introduced that morning by him, concerning a Convention to amend the Constitution of North Carol ma be taken ap and pat on iu seoond rea ding, which motion -was agreed to 74 to 13, 1 ilUl .11 nf It,. lHmm .

Wheathii fact was fully ascertained, Mr. Council" Wooten, a leading member of the loeofooo party in the House, rose and asked leave to change his vote, and did so. Thus again was free suffrage defeated, in accordance with the arrangement of the party previously mad in caucus. Had this not been th fact, Mr- Wootea would have been denoun ced by the organ as Mr. Edwards has recently beea oj that unscrupulous journal. v - We propose to notice the proceedings had on free suffrage ia the two last Legislatures, and if we mistake not, we think we shall be able to show to the satisfaction of all that the loeofo eos have not acted in good faith towards the people ; and that if they had, that the Legisla ture is not the proper place to make or amend the Constitutijn of a fres people and a sover eign State, if this chapter has not already sat Ufied them of this fact. WELDON. MR. FILLMORE'S SOUTHERN TOUR. W think we have discovered a little ner vousness on the part of a portion of the North ern presa regarding Mr. Fillmore's Southern tour. Whether this uneasiness is the result of a latent hostility to that distinguished gentle man, oF a jealousy that springs from the dem onstrations attendant on the tour itself, relating peculiarly to the political future, we of courae have not the means of knowing. Be it the off spring of either consideration, we look upon it as needless and ill timed. There is nothing inconsistent with the uiore immediate past, nor alarming in regard to the future, in Mr. Fill more's trip Southward at this time. It lias been induced, an the public are informed by hiuiaelf in bin various speeches to the people whose guest he is, by a pruinixe made to his Southern friends during his Presidential term. He had had no opportunity or occasion to visit that portion of bis couutry prior to hi acces- on to the Presidency, and it wan fitting and proper that he should do mo at mime time, and we deem the present peculiarly adapted to such a purpose. Why should not Mr. Fillmore t "mitt lit slave holding region of our country, and become the honored guefet of its inhabitant."? We kuuw of none. On the other hand, we ean discover a marked propriety in it. That propriety was made apparent in his Louisville p'eoli. We were reminded by him upon that occasion of what all here knew before, that he entered up on his Vice Presidential career strongly im bued with the rankest prejudices against the institution of slavery prejudices, which, to use his own figure, he nursed frum his mother's breast, and to our knowledge, during a lon political and official career, he had fostered, strengthened, and gloried in. With a facility scarcely equalled in the history of political life, he conquered those prejudices and turning his back upon his own party in his own State, and in fact in most of the non slaveholding States, he drove the car of state throughout the Presi dential term, with his face looking southward. While this lost him much at home, it gained for him strong friends at the South, and paved the way for one of the mo?t triumphal marches through that section that has ever marked the tour of any one of our countrymen. It only finds a parallel, we think, in the visit and trav els of Lafayette throughout our country.' The Southern papers come to Us laden with ac counts of the most hearty demonstrations of welcome. He seems to be basking in the sun shine of a popular feeling as warm as the "sunny south" itself, and as fragrant as the "early magnolias" that have bloomed for his especial gratification. Never was the pathway of hero or statesman strewn and cheered with garlands of flowers services of plates com plimentary letters flattering speeches the smiles and kisses of lovely women sumptuous repasts balls parties and serenades, to the extent that have fallen upon Mr. Fillmore du ring his present southern visit. All this is le gitimate. It is the equivalent for a devotion on his part to the ulave interest which seemed to call for acknowledgment aad reward. It in gratifying to see the southern people mindful of the debt they owed, and disposed to cancel it in a manner becoming their chivalrous and generous character. It has been feaiei and intimated that this visit southward is for the gratification of Mr. Fill mnre's future political ambition. We cannot believe it, from the fact that such a design at this period, under all the circumstances, would be at war with good sense and sound judgment. His tour has been through States must of which are of the democratic faith, and can scarcely expect to be reached and secured to his future political cause, except by his entire desertion of the Whig party, and the adoption of theirs aa his nwn. Then, again the consideration at this juncture, while the couutry is suffering from renewed agitation of thk question of sla very extension which would make him strong at the South would render his political p citinn proportionately weak in the old Northern Whig States, casting a cloud and gloom over his pros pecta of political preferment. That this excur sion will have its political bearing, should Mr. Fillmore determine to emerge again from reti racy, we have no doubt. That it will add to and subtract from hi political capital is equally true. Where the balance would lie, in the (set tlement ot the acoouut, 110 cue who is a close observer of events, their cause aod effects, can find much difficulty in forming an opinion. Buffalo Express. The New Yore Democracy will soon have another opportunity to show how hard they love one another. A State Convention of the Hards is to be held at Syracuse on the 12th of July, and a State Convention of the Softs at the same place on the 6th of September, prepara tory to organizing for the fall elections. Strong efforts are making to bring about a fusion .of . those discordant wings of the party, but with little or no hope of success. Since the Hards and the Softs appear to, agree in their opposi tion to the Nebraska Bill, some have been soft enough to suppose that thi fusion might take place. On this question the Hards have evi dently allowed the Softs to get the better of them. The only apology that is made fur their opposition to the Nebraska Bill is, that they hsye been provoked into hostility to every thing the Administration favor. They have at all events, allowed themselves to be provok ed into a very inconsistent position io this case, but though they may seem to agree in opinion with the Softs, yet they say they never can be induced to vote with them in their State elec tions. This is set down as utterly impossible. Richmond Whig. THB OATH. " 'Do you," said fanny t'other day, 'In earnest love me a you sav?

Attempt at verse were early made. He commenced rhy me making at th age of ten, had filled three volumes before he was twelve, and had compos ed a mock-heroic poem of a thousand lines in imitation of Uoaxit's Frogs and Mice, in his fourteenth year. An epie, poem tov be called Alfred, was projected when he wa fifteen. His friends, who had designed him forhe Ministry, vainly essayed to make him abandon the Muse. At last they consented to hi follow ing lay pursuits. He had learned Greek, Latin, French aad German, and, thoa educated far above it, went to fill an humble situation in a shop at Mirfield.-J,?. s .h . ' Thi did nor answer, and, at the age of seven teen, he went to London, with the doable ob ject of obtaining a publisher for some quires of stanxas, (which, with the clothes on his back and a very few shillings, constituted his sole possessions,) and of getting employment also. Mr. Usaaiso!, a friendly bibliopole in "The Row," who declined the verses, was pleased with the simple manners and calm enthusiasm of the youth and took him into bis shop as as sistant. Here he remained a short time, but quarreled with Mr. Haxrison, (who had de clined risking th publication of a projected Eastern story,) and went to attend a small shop near Sheffield, whence he went to act as clerk in the office of Mr. Gales, proprietor of a news paper called the Sheffield Register. Mr. Gales, who was a bookseller of some little wealth, did not start this weekly journal with any idea of making money by it. The Freuch Revolution was in full operation when be commenced hio labors. French principle" of liberty very generally prevailed, and were extending among the classes who toil, and were particularly popular in Sheffield then, as now, a large manufacturing town. Gales' design was to net as the organ of popular opinion, and his paper obtained large circulation. Soovi after youug Montgomery had entered the office, (his business being ouly to keep the accounts.) a series of anonymous priae esjtays, which were dropped, week after week, into tba letterbox, and were published as received, attracted o much attention that Mr. Gales advertised for die author to come forward and declare his name. The anonymous writer maintained bis iitcwj'iUo for some time longer, until it was ac cidentally discovered that the essayist was Mont uomerv, the book keeper. This reads like a passage in the lile of our own illustrious Franx- LIN. From that time he was made one of the con ductors of Gales' paper, writing a great deal for it, (chiefly on literary subjects,) until the liritish Government, believing on the report of certain "loyal" magistrates of Sheffield, that Gales was thai then dreaded thing a Jacobin (jai-is had to fly the country in 1794, to es cape imprisonment and prosecution. It was ar ranged that Montgomery should become the actual Editor and part proprietor of the paper, and, to give it the chance of appearing wholly f reed from former associations, was renamed the Sheffield Iris. Montgomery, though now editing a politi cal journal, labored uuder the disadvantage of knowing little of, and earing less for, party poli tics. liiR principles were liberal, but his great desire was to make his paper literary. From. time to time, brief poems irom his own pen ap peared in it, and many who disliked the poli tics of the Iris used to read it fur its literary articles. Personally, the young Editor had not an ene my in the world. Politically, he bad many op ponents, and it was at their suggestion, no doubt, that the law officers of the Crown pro ceeded against him for re-printing, for a hawker to sell, a song, on the Fall of the Hostile which had appeared without censure, in the Sheffield Gazette a year before. For this he was sen tenced to pay a fine of 20, and to suffer three months' imprisonment in York Castle, which is the County Jail. This was in January, 1795. On his liberation he resolved to avoid politics, but, soon after, on account of a riot in Sheffield, was considered libellous on one of the magis trates there, and he was imprisoned for six months, with a fine of 30. Oddly enough, the magistrate, who had taken a fancy to him on the trial, stood his friend ever after, and not only showed him respect in public, but volun teered to assist him in private. Id 1797. a volume of poems which he had written, while in confinement, was published as Viwyi Amuse ments Iu 179S he collected his newspaper prose es says as The Whisperer. He contributed the Buttle of Alexandria, and other pieces, to the first volume of the Poetical Register, and finding these productions well received, published The Ocean, 1805, and the Wanderer of Switzerland, in 1806. In Byron's English Bards, which ap peared eooo after, we have the following note : 'I'oor Montgomery! though praised by every Kiiifli.-h Review, has been bitterly reviled by the Kuinbhbo. Alter all, the Bard of Shctiield isainan ol considerable genius ; his Wanderer of Switzer land is worth a thousand 'Lyrical Ballads,' and at least 'degraded epics." Dvkon's own lines on Montgomery ran thus: "With broken lyre and cheek serenely pale, Lo ! an Alciesus wanders down the vale ; Though lair they rose, and might have bloomed at last, His hope have perished by' the northern blast: Nipped in the bud by Caledonian gales, llis blossoms wither as the blast prevails! O'er his lost works let classic Sheffield weep ! May no rude hand disturb their early sleep !" I Meanwhile; political feeling in Sheffield bad ! softened down. Montgomery's quiet manners. ; and true modesty, and - real benevolence, had ' made him "troops of friends." Sheffield was : becoming proud of her bard, and the L is had become the leading journal of the place. Mr. ; Gales, who had retired to America, where his ) family continue to be connected with the press, . sold out the remnant of his interest in the Iris. anu Montgomery became sole proprietor. He became a productive poet. In 1809, in quarto, appeared The West Indies; in 1812, his World before the flood. There 'also were pub lished Thoughts on Wheels, Greenland, Poly hymnia, S ngsof Zion, and The Pelican Ithrnd. Before the last named had appeared, Montgome ry had sold the Iris to Mr. Blacxwell, of Shef field, for $5,000, on which occasion the Sheffield people gate him a public dinner, at which he narrated his early struggles in a plain simply eloquent speech. In 1831 he delivered a course of lectures upon Ancient Literature, at the Royal Institution of London. They appeared in the Metropolitan Magazine, and -subsequently a a volume. At the same lime he edited the Voyages of Tuer man and Bennett, Missionary Agents to China. In 184l his collected and selected poem ap peared in four volumes, with autobiographical prefaces, and were collected into one volume in '1851. Last year he published a volume of hymns for public, private and social devotion. Many of his hymns are in congregational use in this country. Montoomkry was of middle stature, slight, a itb yellow hair, rather melancholy expression of featnre, and accustomed to wear the lower part of his face bidden o a tall and loose white neck-cloth. Uia appearance waa that of a cler gyman of the old school. y. T. Times. ' . " The Mr. Gales alluded to was Joscfk Gales, the founder of the "Raleigh Register. ' ' Y . .
