It only remains now for those Counties which hare not yet acledto hold primary meetings, and appoint delegates.' This being Court week, in Dup lin we hope the Whigs of that County bav improved the occasion. Sampson, Onslow, an4 Brunswick hare already moved in the matter. We would suggest to our friends ir Bladen and. Colombo, the propriety of D9MMag meetings aurmg in stuingot tee approaching County Courts, in the early part of next month. As for the Whigs of New Hanover, allho' a meeting has not been held,. we presume it is very far from their purpose to allow the Convention to assemble without a voice in its deliberations. Wilmington, will be rep resented, tho' when the preparatory steps for that purpose, are to be taken, we are not yet advised. We bope a full delegation will go op from the Eastern counties, in view of the, importance of the Convention. - It will devolve upon that body to nominate a can didate for Governor, and to appoint delegates from the State at large to the National Whig Convention. ; Questions of State policy will likewise in all probability be introduced, and preparations organized for the eupuirig'esm paign on' the State as well as the National a rena. .'

It wilt be seen,, from an article copied in to this paper from ibe Raleigh Register, that a place and time have been definitely sug gested or the meeting of the .Whig State Convention, to wit : The City of Raleigh, and Me fourth Monday in Jlpril aurzt that be ing (he, th day of the month. This will probably give general satisfaction, and as nearly as possible reconcile, all. differences oruh and opinion in thee particular s.r Wjuh. our wbig; friends of the West, we should have been gratified with the selection of Greensboro' as rbe place ; bat when we reflect that delegates from the East would have a greater aggregate expense and diffi culty in reaching this point, than those of the West would have in getting to Raleigh, Ware disposed to be satisfied with the ap pointment. ' Webave no fears 6f a "Raleigh Clique" in'thii connexion; and believe, that famous organization is now only mentioned by our open opponents for effect, or by others for sinister purposes. Whatever of Raleigh Clique may have existed heretofore, has been scattered to the fonr winds. Neither are we afraid of the East on account of the superior ease of access to Raleigh; for the Whigs of the Eait are good and true, identified in na tional sentiment with the Whigs of the West As regards national measures and national men, there appears a gratifying un animity of views among the Whigs of the whole Staler Greensboro' Patriot DELEGATES TO THE WHIG NATION AL CONVENTION. T,he Raleigh Register proposes to change the mode of appointing Delegates to the Whig National Convention. : Instead of Distinct Conventions as heretofore, -the Reg iiter "proposes ' that the Delegates - pre i ent at the ensuing State Convention, from each -District, be empowered 'ftr'appoinl a Delegate; and ; an Alternate- to represent that District In the National Convention. f . We have thought for sonic time past, toat this is a far more convenient mode of accom pli thing the. object. It may have some ob jections, but they are not material now, when there is no difference of opinion in the State as to the candidates far President and Vice President. As the Register justly remarks, Messrs. Fillmore and Graham are the first and the last choice of the Whigs of North Caro lina. It the plan should be found not to work well, it can be discarded hereafter, but tor the present occasion we are decided ly in favor of the proposed plan., And we would add, that if any District should fail to be represented in the Convention, that that body be empowered to make appointments. We trust that the meetings hereafter to be lield. will either' approve or dissent from this recommendation. Fay.

WiL Her. ; . a t We are glad to learn from an article) ip the Raleigh Register, copied into our pa per of to-day, that the time and place for hoi ding our State Convention have been finally agreed upon. Raleigh is the place and the time the fourth Monday in April next. It ifexteedtngly desirable, as urged by the"" Register that there should be a full repre sentation. -: The voice of every county should there be heard. .The present is a crisis, and the Convention will be a most important one, ainee it is to famish us with a leader, define and declare our principle!, and point.out out course of action in a contest, by which the future political complexion of the State may ne cetermined for years. The shackles of democracy are to be struck at once from the hands of pur people, or they may by length urns necome accustomed to wear them, and fail to shake them off at last Let us all be np and doing when the time for action arrives. For the Wbigs of Wayne we think we can assume to speak. Firm; true' and ready in proportion to the paucity of their numbers, their duty is never neglected, tnejr ever answer in ue call or patriotism, and we now announce that their primary meeuog will be held and their delegates appointed at the February session 'of our .

Two Courts intervene in this County before the time ap pointed for the sitting of the Convention the February, and April terms; We would be glad to have some expression of opinion Is to the time when our own County Meet ing shall be held, so that we may give due notice thereof. Edenton SenlineL Q9 The Whig State Convention, to nom inate a Candidate for Governor, and appoint Delegates, at large, to the National Whig Convention, we learn from the Raleigh Reg ister, will be hejd in the city of Raleigh, on the 4h Monday in April next We hope that our Whig friends in tbis, and the adjoin . a ing counties, will not neglect, at the prope time, to appoint delegates to this Uonven tion We shall do all we can to elect the Whig candidate tor uovernor, provided be is such a man as we have every reason to believe he will be. We look upon David S. Reid as the greatest humbug of the day. We be lieve that, bis professions of attachment to popular measures proceed from a d?ire to elevate himself. We were brouzbt to thi conclusion from hit course whilst a candidate for Governor in '48 and 50. Conseauend unless convinced that we are mistaken, w shall laboa bard or his defeat. We shall do it honettlv. fearlenlv and aHnvehrtarrl W are as much a friend of the people and their ngnts as Mr. Keid; and believing that are a better and that the candidate who may oppose him will be a better, we shall go in for ousting the gectleman from the Executive mansion of the .State. We have ever been a friend of Free Suf frage. We know of no sufficient reason, at the present time, why any man who has a right t vote for a member of the House of Commons, should be debarred the privilege of voting for a State Senator. But we are not ia favor of altering the Constitution by Legislative enactment We are opposed to aay set or men dictating to the people what tney mutt have, and what tney tuul have Our motto u, inasmuch as ours ia a Repub lican Government, let the people say what tney vnll have. And let them have an op- pottundt t say it ia tuch e manner as that their voice cannot be mistaken Our opponents are burnishing their arms and making ready Tor toe fight not only tor tne name in August but for tbe great conflict to lake place in November. We call upon Whig brethren, everywhere, to imitate tnetr example, i ore warned, be fore armed! Remember tbe words of your once gallant cbief, who was ever victor even in de Jeef, whose battle-axe gleamed brightest in inengni, appaiung tne stoutest or his roes and . whom age alone prevents from ming fin in our ranks : "Shake off the dew-drops '"' glisten on your armor, and once more march to battle and to victory!"

Tbe Secretary of the Treasury, in his Report to the present Congress, recommends tbe discontinuance of tbe mint at Charlotte, TL. ri Ut O - . . iuc iiuuu(uh octrciary may noi De as well informedvof our State history and pros peas as tooso nearer nome : to us it ap- pears an ' ui-rimed recommendation, while our peple'are hard at work, building a rail wbu miuugu ioc oimi, aim turnisning ac cess by steam to Charlotte from the North, as well as from the South.

Uounty ot Guildford miring never has been carried on so extensively and profitably to the laboring com munity as at the present time. The works at noagin niu and at tne McBulIoch mine, owu ed by a company residing mostly in this coun ty, and chiefly superintended by our ener getic towosman, James Sloan, Esq , present scenes of enterprise, skill and industry, de serving the encouragement of the country, aye, and tbe countenance of Government too, so Jar as facilities for coinage are con cerned ; for we understand that the Guil ford gold is principally tent to our own Mint to De itansiormed into "yellow boys." -We trust that Uncle Sam will pay no at tention 4o the advice of hie Secretary; but i nis servants stay wiuHs and con. unoe to' set bit marks upon our gold.

The First Article of the Amendments to onr State Constitution provides that, MTlie Senate of the State ahall constat of fifty Representanrea, biennially chosen by ballot, and to be elected by district, which districts shall be laid off by the General Assembly at its first Session after tae year 1841, and afterwards, at ita first Session af ter the year 1851, ad tkch xvaar twkhtt TKixa thcrejjtks and the average of the pub lic taxes paid by eaeh County, into the treasury of the State, for the five yvara preceding the lay ing xSt ef the districts, shall be conaklered aa its proportion of the public taxes, and constitute the basis of apportionment : Provided, thai no Coun ty shaM be divided in the formation of a Senato rial District And when there are one or more Counties having an exeeaa of taxation above tbe ratio to form a Senatorial district, adjoining a Coanty er Counties deficient in such rati, tbe ex -cess excesses aforesaid abal 1 be added to the taxation ef the County or Counties deficient, and if, with aucb addition, the Coanty or Counties re ceiving it ahall have the requisite ratio, such Coun ty or Counties each ahall constitute a Kenatorial District." It will be readily aeen, from this provision of the Constitution, that should tbe Loco Foco Party have a majority in tbe next Legialatare, they will have it in their power to practice anfairness to wards their political opponents in apportioning the Senatorial districts. Whatever apportion ment is made will have to atand for twenty years tkartafler I ft is unnecessary, In thja connection, to enter into the inquiry whether, should that Party have the power, they will make an unfair and anjaat apportionment of the districts. Being forewarned, we should provide against the possi bility of such an act. Experience is the best teacher in ibis, as in U o'.her matters of like char acter. In laying off the Congressional Districts after the census of 1840, the most glaring and outrageous injustice wsa done the Wbigs of the State. Tbe voice of tbe majority ot the People was not only suppressed, but a still greater wrong was done. It wsa misrepresented. In 1840 tbe Loco roco rarty were deteated in the Ouberna- I torial election, by upwards of 8000 majority and in the Presidential election by upwards of 12,000 majority. Again, ra 1842, they were defeated by upwards of 4,000 msjoritv, yet whst complexion was given to oor re presentation in Congress, by the Gerrymandering which the Stat andsrweat at the handa of that Party, which is, at all times, ready to utter loud but empty protestations of respect for the will of the People! No man can recur to that act ef gross injustice to, and fraud upon tke People of North Carolita, without feel ings of indignation 1 Have we any reason to expect better thing hereafter from this same Party ! With their paat conduct before our eyes, are we willing, by inactivity and dissensions amongst ourselves, to give them the power to commit similar wrong I Are we willing to afford at . .r:i? al r. I vnera an opportunity 01 stining toe voice 01 a ma- jority of the People for twenty years to cone J And let it be remembered, that it is not in the apportionment of the Senatorial districts of tbe State alone, they will have the power, (should they carry the Legislature,) of doing as gross in justice. At the next Session of thst body, tbe Congressional Districts of tbe State must be re adjested. Is it a matter ot ne moment witL ns how it ia done ! Do we desire that our State should again be forced to assume a false position in the national coancila 1 If not, if the principles of our Party are worth perpetuating, if we are sincere in the opinion we have so often expressed, that tbe doctrines of th Party opposed to us a re ruinous in their tendency, then can we losger hesitate, as to what ia onr duty, aa men and patriota ! Wa know full wsll. thai ihr. fl,.rii... f Sute policy whieh are calculated to distract na aa a Party. W regret thia, deeply regret it.

We predict that the leaders of the Free- soil wing ot the Democratic Part, upon whom the "Standard" haa heaped so ranch abuse, will be the leading apirits in the Baltimore Convection, and that tby will dictate terms to that body which will secure the most important offices of the National Government to their adherents. The Massachusetts and Ohio Coalitions are bat min iatures of what will be enacted, when the har.

There are many matters, besides the Fugitive Slave Law, which will be stumbling blocks in the way ot Democratic har mony. Tbe "Tariff of 1846" is loaing favor with tbe Iron and Sagar interest, and there are some ef the New England " Coalitionists" who think its operations . are injurious to the interests of the "finer cotton fabrics." Tbe North Western De mocracy are resolved npon suffering no "noise snd confusion," however great, to prevent their voice being beard, with effect, in behalf of Intern al Improvements by the General Government. There will be also a "chivalrkj" if not ationg "secession" interest io be conciliated, which, judg ing from the past, will not be content with empty promisee.

OLDEN TIMES" IN THE LAW. Loan CAxrssus "Lives of the Lord Chancellors of England," with which we have been of late favor ed, contains much canons and interesting knowledge To those who beleug to the legal profession it must be a work of great value. Prior to tbe year 1784. it was customary, it seems, for tbe legal gentlemen to give a "grand revel," as it was termed, in honor of eaeh lord rh-iu- when he wss installed in office. Lord Campbell aavathatal th i 01 ine teW Charles Talbot, as Chancellor , in 1W4 usl grand revel was given, in honor of him, by the Inner Temple, being tbe last grand festivity at an Jnn of Court, till the visit ofOom VI,inriI L.jDCoin s lutf, more than a century after," -It would require, he continues, the pen of a Dugdaie to do justice to such scenes, but tbefolktw mg not ungrspbie account of the Talbot pageant has been transmitted to us." - On the 2ud ol February 1734, tbe Lord Chancellor came intn th rr,, t pie Hall about two o'clock, preceded by tbe Master Tvvt rC.. cellor'a Oflicerj, Inu tke barriUw mndstuhmt of the ' Westphalia, Marshal Bcelmans, aod nume House bad no otker dinner provided for them, than ro distinuishe j army aad aavy officers, what is usual on grand dot t, but each mess bad a - Tf. foreign ambassadors arrived next, includ- I fliisk OT i in) ho.iA. l, . and sack.
