PETER H. BFRNETT. - " THE GOLD. DOLLAR. We everywhere bear the highest approbation bestowed on the golden dollarcoined atthe U.S. Mint, and the only complaint to that there are not snficient in circa la tion to meet the demand. Go vernment will hsve-to diminish the number, of esehrtf and quarter eagles; snd coin more golden doflsrs. No one can imagine the accommodation which tbey afford to the laboring poor. On Sat urdat night, workmen sre paid in bank notes be longing to'various Stales';' they carry the notes to" the butcher, baker, and graeer, who receive them at par, for supplies, but charge the discount on the articles purchased, so that the laborer indi rectly loses, But,'; pay him in golden dollars give him th hard currency in payment for his la bor and he buys to more advantage. We have TO doubt that great efforts will be made by our lo cal and foreign banks to check the coining and circalatton of the gold dollars; they are now five per cent, shore par, owing to their scarcity, but the government most be called upon in decided tern., to keep the Mint at work, and turn out as many as may be required for circulation. All the foreign gofd which comes into the Mint should he thrown into the crucible, sod made into dollar pieces; and people should be careful not to depos ite any of them in Banks, and not allow Banks to draw any number front the Mint, for if they do, they will be shovelled into, the vaults and kept from circulation. It is said, that they sre so small, as to be in danger of their being lost. Working people rinding it difficult to earn, will be able to take good care of them when they do get them ; a email leathern purse will bold them conveniently. The re, never was a better oppor tunity -for this city to get rid of many tattered, ragged, dirty, and doubtful bank notes, in circu lation, than there is at present, arising from this new and convenient coin. If a Isdy shopping pays out any bank notes from foreign States, re course most be had by necessity to the bank note list, and "it is discovered that the notes are coun terfeit, nr are at a discount of from one to five per cent,vNb trouble arises from the golden dollar; she esn carry twenty in her purse without the weight being felt. . We must confess, that at first, wSyhad no great confidence in the extent of circu lation which this new coin would have, but this chy wants st least a million for domestic uses, and we hope that orders will be given to stop coin in? the larger pieces, and keep to the dol lara.

The 44 Journal of Commerce" has an article onlhe singular aspect presented by France to wards Rome. It say a : It is not necessary to prove by experiment that France can crush Route if she pleases, for everybody koows this already. As tne French troops had no de-ire to injure the Romans, as in fact to a great extent they doubtless sympathized with them, they were not in a wood to fight very fiercely, and hence, perhaps, the disaster which they suffered. How can Frenchmen, panting for liberty, resist such appeals as were addressed to . the French army by the Roman people I .- Frenchmen.! the land you tread on, still pre. serves the traces of your glorious ancestors ; but thesebrought us liberty, and you bring us slave ry. In destroying the Roman Republic, you will destroy your own, and you will be fratricides at the same time that you injure yourselves. Oh, shame! you stood by, snd regarded with a laugh of mockery the misfortones-of Loinbsrdy. You had not a single word of' consolation for the fall of Piedmont. Your venal writers utter blasphe my and calumnies on the heroic efforts of Hun gary. On this very day, with an impudent mockery, yon come to destroy Roman liberty Frenchmen ! your implacable government sub jects you to the greatest of all infamies, it binds you to the train of despotism and of injustice, aud obliges you to follow is the Wake of the Croat and ot the Cossack. Are yoa indeed soldiers 7 If yon are, choose a foe worthy of your courage. Do not come to defy the rieingof a petty slate. If you wish to combat .with republican arm, cease to be republicans yourselves, or confess that you are the satellites of tyranny snd hypoc risy. French citizens! tear aside the veil of policy, and answer, whom do you wish to restore to power! Are they the priests! this hereditary race who have cansed tro much blood to flow and occasioned so many woes ; o France herself. Study your own history snd you will see what s fatal present you are about to make to us. Know it, oncd for all ; from our earliest infancy even to cur old age, we hsve cherished an implacable hatred of sacredolal domination. You wish to reimpose it by force. Yoa are sbout to place as on a level with the Chinese. You will force us to curse the soil which has given u birth. We are unfortunate, because wearefnrt of ihc vi olence of powerful men ; unfortunate, because we are despised and trampled under fool by tb very nation which was always the illusion to our our. mind, and the source of our hope. French men ! before jiadertaking a detectable work, ask of the blue heaven that is above you. and it will answer that it has been polluted by s.cerdotal iniquity, and by their horror in all sges. Ask our youth, and our women, and you will learn from them an interrupted tale of seductions, of de bauchery and of venality. Ask of our fanners, for whom they have . labored they will answer, for the priests ! . Ask to whom belongs the fifth part of the State 1 to the priests ! Ask to whom belongs the most luxuriant abodes, for whom sre the most exquisite delicacies, and who are obeyed by thousands of menials! 1 heir answer will be the priests! the priests! Frenchmen ! your mission is hell. It will bring down upon your heads an universal malediction for which your past giory win not prove a recompense.

Taylor, Is necessary to secure to the people the legitimate fruits of our trt- umpn in ine late presiuenuai eieuiuu. ReseloeJ) That w recognize in the election of Gen.

Resohed That we approve of the principle avow ed and maintained by the present administration, that the essential element of a Republican govern ment is to be found in a respectful deference on the part of its rulers to the wut or tne people, ana in me patristic and impartial administration of the govern ment for the beuefit of the whole people, and not for the mere purpose of preserving power in the hands of a party. Resolved, That in the election of Gen.

' - Jiejsfctfrf, That in the exercise or tbe discretion vested io this Convention, we unanimously present to the people of this District ths name of James W. Bryap, Esq of Craven county, as a suitable person to represent them in the next Congress of the United States, and confidently recommend him to their suf frages as a man deserving tneir connaence, ana pre eminently qualified to discharge the duties of the station which he is nominated to filL These Resolutions were unanimously adopted, whereupon the Chair designated Edward Stanly, F. B. Sattertbwaite, and W. 11. May hew, a com mittee to wait upon Mr. Bryan, who was in town, and soon appeared, and in an able and eloquent speech ccepted the nomination. B. F. Eborn, Esq , offered the following resolution. whieh was unuuimously adopted : , Resolved, That this Convention heartily approve the course of our late Representative, the Hon. R. S. Donnell, in the House of Representatives ; that the information of bis being compelled to decline a re election, gives the people of the District unfeigned regret and that the thanks of the Whig party of the District sre eminently dee to bim tor bis services to the country and to the Whiz cause durinz his public career, in which he increased his own repu tatioa and couferred honor on bis constituents. Mr. Dounell, upon the unanimous adoption of this resolution, responded in a few appropriate remarks v The Convention was addressed by the Hon. Ed ward Stanly, F. B. Sattertbwaite and Johu Black- well, Esqrs. On motion, the thanks of the Convention were tendered to its officers, for the able and satisfactory discharge or their duties. On motion, the proceedings were ordered to be printed in the North State Whig and Newberniac. I he Convention then adjourned, sine die. JOHN BLACKWELL, President. THE DISTRICT CONVENTION In another column may be seen the proceedings of the oonventioa tbat met in this town last week to nominate s Whig candidate for Congress for this district. The convention was very fully attended. sll of the eleven counties comprised in the district being represented, except Lenoir and Wayne. It was not only one of the largest assemblsges of the kind tbat ever convened in the district, but its pro ceedings and deliberations were marked by perfect harmony ana gooa reeling. The conventiwn teas unanimous for James W Bryan.' Indeed, pubtie attention bad been so fixed upon Mr. Bryan, and he had been recommended, by so many or the primary meetings held to appoint delegates to tne convention, that His nomination seemed almost as a matter of course, without any dis paragement of the many other noble Whigs who would reflect honor on the district iu Congress. His talents, his acquirements, his eloquence at the Bar aud in the Forum, his spotless character, his firm ness as a Whig united with great courtesy to politi cal opponents, and his ability to make the sacrifice of time and money which a candidate for Cougress in this district must make all seemed to have pofnted him out as the Whig standard-bearer in this cumpaigu. Mr, Brysn, being in attendance on our Superior Court, appeared before the convention and prompt- ly accepted me nomination. we wm not mar the beauty, the forse, the eloquence of his speech on the occasion, by attempting a sketch of it. Though worn down with the laborious duties of his Superior Uourt circuit, and in resole health (as he has been for several years) his speech was all that his warm est admirers could have wished it to be. The noble truths which he proclaimed, in the most thrilling language aud captivating manner, took hold of the understandings and hearts of the audience.. On the subject of slavery, his remarks were especially grati fyiug. Nothing, he said, could afford him nigher gratification than to have his -voice heard in the councils of the nation in defence of the South on this question. He announced his determination to ad dress the people in every county in the district, and, if his' strength should hold out, to do all that man can do to carry the banner confided to his hands triumphantly through the campaign. Mr. Bryau left here on Monday to address the s a -- f cm IVTi people at xsyae trurs. v. nig. WHIG MEETING IN ANSON. On Saturday, the 26ih. instant, the meeting con vened according to notice.

S. in a London letter to the Philadelphia American presents a bird's-eye and a very glowing view of the probable and speedy fate of the once Mistress of the World Rome. thus assailed from three different points by most dissimilar antagonists," will doubtless fall in her struggle for Liberty ; but the conflict for the pos session of such a rich treasure may lead to results fatal to the peace of Europe. Rome, cannot fall, under the present circumstances, without shaking all Europe: The cloud is thickeniuar over the Eternal CStv. In spite of the reclamations of the Assembly, the French President is determined .that the utmost aid that General Oudinot can require to fulfil his mission in the restoration of the Pope, France shall give ; and, as a, reply to the address of the Roman Republic to the French army, General Oudinot has published a oroclarnatian nrofessin to regard those who: resist him, on the part of ixuiut:, as a iacoon cnieny oi loreigners which overawes and ODDresses the neonW Ho mr h comes for the liberation of the Romans, the estab lishment of liberty, and the restoration of Pius the Ninth. The whole Austrian force disembarras sed of Piedmont is marching in from the north, under Radetsky i and NaDles. disencumbered nf the Sicilian war, by the surrender of Palermo and flight of the leaders, is pouring her hosts from the south ; while Oiidinot, in the neighborhood of xyome, a waits ma remiorcements. Kscape or re sistance appears alike impracticable ; and all Eu rope is now watching the result whether the Pride of Christendom, according to the threat of the inunmrs, snaa be entered by the three great powers, as a mass of smoking ruins.

In the third District, (B-utaiNotn's) as we have said, there is serious prospect of a spUt in our ranks; owing to the number of Candidates in the field. - This division cannot be too earnestly de precated and, regretted, and, we rely upon our Whig, friends in that District,(and there are none truer upon the face of the earth) to . compromise matters and heal ' up these difficulties. -Personal preferences for men, should be , considered in exi gencies of this character, as . but . the, attenuated chord of the'spiderx compared with the Lion grip that binds us to, our jCuntry. 'A Convention is to be held in the latter part of June.. 1 -In thfburA"' District, (SHsrrsans) there is, and d6ubtfesss4wfll be, no opposiuon to the pres ent excellent and faithiuJ Representative. We are much gratified to learn of the nomina tion in the fifth District, (Vvxxixi) of that gal lant and .gifted Champion of Whig principles, Henrt K. Nash, Esq Mt.Viikabue must look to himself. He will doubtless . find but few sym pathizers in his disunion schemes. They will be eloquently and ably condemned and denounced by Mr. Nash, elwtrust that the peace and Union loving people of the District will not foreet that, in supporting M-Vtamiktjf virtually countenance a dissolnoflmr sorwus Conftd- The sixth District (DArrxEt's) is! the scene of a 1 very interesting farmly quarrel among the oppo sition. As we have heretofore stated. Maj. Wil liam J . Ciajta,ofthis City, a Gentleman of prom ising attainments, has taken the field against the present -vepresenxauve. yv e understand that they held their first discussionjt during, the -last week, at Smithfield, and that itvis altogether , a beauti ful Kilkenny affair, characterized t mutual ly, severe personalities. The Major harseen some hard service, and will prove a most troublesome customer to the Hon. Jork Rivxis Joirxa. " In the' seventh District, William S. . Ashe, Esq, of fraudulent ticket mxnory, has been nom inated as the Loro Foco Candidate. Of course. he will have no Whig competitor, though we could have wished that some more liberal and open Democrat might have been selected. The District affords many 'such; but Mr. Ashe has re ceived the re ward of his unscrupulous party zeaL . In the eighth District, (Dokkej,s) a Conven tion has just been heUand James W. Bktan, Esq., of Craven, hair been 'unanimously nomina ted as the Whig Candidates-Mr Doh-teli,, to the great regret of lus numerous friends and ad mirers, having positively declined ar re-election. Mr. Betas is Velt, known as a popular and elo quent Speaker, a high-minded gentleman,' and an ardent Whig. Mr. Lane will be listarced in the contest, if he will only dare to meet Mr. B., at the hustings. Under any circumstances we regard Mr. Bryan's racoess'as''erta nian," speaking of the Convention that designated Mr. Betajt, and of the circumstances of his nom ination, says " we have never seen a campaign open tinder more-Iaarorable auspices. Zeal, en thusiasm, determination, were the order o the day;TJierewas too bragging. The pluck that was displayed was not loudly expreseed-ybut it was there, deep and settled." f54k ' ' j In the ninth District, we are apprised of no op position to the Hon.
