What Gen. Coss permitted the politi cians of the whole Union to dispute about, when a word from him would have set all controversy on the point at rest, ho now explains without a ny sort of equivocation. Referring to tho dissa tisfaction of Southern gentlemen with his late speech, for acknowleding the right of the people of a territory to exclude slavery, if thoy please, even in their tcrritttrial government, he reiter atea the doctrine in the extract below. And this is the man, the Standard insists, who, if he had been elected President, would have hushed thcrnging political elements into silence,, main tained the rights of the South, and healed all our divisions! O yes, Taylor and Fillmore are con trasted with Cass and Butler; tho people arc told they were deceived in the former, and that, the latter are the men for the crisis nnd for the South I This too in the very fiico of Uen. Casa'i candid acknowledgment of his abhorrence of slavery! and labored argument to give the mon grel and benighted inhabitants .pf the territory aeqnired from Mexico the right to forbid the peo- LP'8 r th8 So,llh ri"!.,m "ln8 w,tn their "'aves to Wra4v;ciit'eil mtefniin'"19' any-portien r that territory! Ihis. it must be" plain to tlie Weakest mind, WoiiM lie the most effi'etual and certain method of accomplish, ing the object of the fanatica and provisolsts, thnt could be adopted. What- then should we have seen, had Case and Butler been elected? Why, California, Deserot, New Mexico all of which e- yery body acknowledges, (except that portion in cluded within the bounds of rexas phavea right to territorial governmenUyfoiild, .under hjajj; ministration, in.iheir embryo stab", as territories, have prohibited slavery, without giving the slave-holders any time or opportunity whatever to extend their institution into any portion there of. And this waa evidently tho dark design of Gen. Caes iu forming and elaborating his ridicu lous liferent on thir subject." " It - waw nothing more nor lose than the Wilmot proviso in' dis- gnise. Th pill was artfully sugared over, with the view of satisfying the North and deceiving the South. But it didn't exactly do either. The South rejected tlie gilded nostrum, and the North appropriately dubbed the inventor with the eu phonious cognomen of " dough-facf ." Ave are surprised to find our neighbor, who is so warm an advocate of Southern righta, lamenting tliat this insidious enemg of Southern institutions is not now in the Presidential chair. We arc like wise sorry to soe it: It look as if tho Standard eoubl't help connecting a little Dcmocratie pae- ryism with a qnestion which stands a high above party as the heavens are above the earth. It will not do to sound the clarion for Scotland with one breath, and piny the minstrel for Edward with the next. But to tlie extract; in which den. Cats says: ' It ia tliat part of my Nicholson letter relating to the Territories which I understand is the ob- jectvf animadversion I may aay, indeed, of cen sure, llow different opinions conht exist, re specting the meaning of tliat part of my lettfer, I cannot conjecture. These are the words; I quote them here, though not in my speech: ."It (th interference of Congress) should be limited to the creation of proper government for new countries acquired ur settled, and to the necessary provision, leaving in the people inhab iting them to regulate tncir own concerns in their own way."" v But, sir, independent of thia obvious view, I may safely appeal to many Southern gentlemen who were here whea thnt letter wa written, and Who are hera now, to say whethor they do not know that this wa my meaning at the time f There are some of them within my eye at this moment, Here Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, and Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, and other signified their assent. 1 - i ' I might have added in my speech, what I will take th liberty of adding here, that tha proud- est and most arateful testimonial 1 have ever ru- Lc aired. ha recently reached me from the Demo cratic mem tiers ol the Legislature or Tennesee. I shall treasure the recollection of It through life. In, that letter I am told as follows: " Your late speech In the Senate of the United Suite on the nilmot proviso U must triumph-. ant yimlieatiou of the position heretofore assnm-i aa by you. anatcvngresa aa no power under the constitution to leglslat upon or to meddle with the subject of slavery, either in the States or Ter ritorie. nnd is a eomploto defence of the rights of-the lava holding Statoa, and of the people of all 8tate and Territorie, to form and regulate their -wm aoeial , wad -- municipal inetitm-i :toJ.;.VVi- 1 want no better endorsement than thia of tha oorrocteesa of my views and of tha consistency with which I have maintained them.

I will merely remark, in conclusion, that the Sen ator from Alabama (Mr, Clemens) baa alluded to a peaceable dissolution of the I'nion. He will pardon me tor saving that 1 bop no one will de lude himself with any auch expectation. If it doea not bring disappointment, the history of the world has been written to no purpose. . In politi cal convulsions, use mat wuicn wouul attend tha breaking up of this confederacy, the appeal from reason to force is a sure to follow a the night succeeds tho dar. May He who guided our la thers in times of" peril, direct us in paths of peace and safety. .. ... COMMON SCHOOLS. W took oocueion to say something in our last upon the duty of Governments to afford the means of education to all (un(ter their authority. We are gratified that North Carolina has not entirely neglected this important matter; but, at the same time, we see much room for Improvement in eV0l7 ""I'" We PP0". fr0m tim0 to im'- to throw out a few hints in regard to such defi ciencioa, u also to state-ill what jray they could le remedied. In the first place, the appropria tions for tho support of these schools are so smalt tliat the benefits which otherwiso might be ex pected to accrue from them, cannot be secured f to the people of the State. Tho sura given nut annually Irom the Treasury is proliably as large .,,--:..t,. the counties, or if any, it,w o small a to afford no material assistance ia the work. It is often entirely neglected, or if attended to, is performed in a manner so loose, as scarcely to carry any influence in pushing on the cause. We put it then to the good sense of tho people of the State, if our law should not make it obligatory upon the magistrates in every county to levy a tax, for this purpose, which would bring in an amount to the Common School fund, at irasf, as great as the county should receive from the public Treasury. Certainly it would be only doing that over the whole State which is done now iu many of the countiea. It would he producing a uniformity in action on this subject, and would draw the attention of the whole peoplo more constantly to it. It could not act as a burden to the people; for a very small additional sum upon each poll, and per cent, on the valuation of lands would suffiice to raise the required amount, which addi tion would not be felt by any of the people of the Stato; or if fclt would bo willingly and cheer fuUy borne, in view of the advantages which would result from the greater efficiency given to oiir Common Schools. "W, will advert to this again. DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN GASTON, The proceedings of a Democratic meeting, hold hi : Gaston eouhly, on the Btb ult., at which isaiie Holland, Esq., presided and J.

The meeting send ten de!egaUs tothe Democratic State Convention; and "recommend a Convention of Democrats from the Countiea of Catawba, Lincoln and Gaston, tobe held in Lineolnton, en th 5tb day of April Court, 1850, for the purpose of nom inating candidates for members to the next General Assemb'y of the State of North Ccrotina from the county of old L'neo'n." They ferJicr recommend that five delegat-s from each Captain's beat be e lccted to tae Lircol? Convention; and to ensure their appointment, appointed two persona Ja each beat to cat meetincs of the peop'e for the purpose. The Democracy are a well organized party through- buf the State, and know how to werk systematica!, ly. Let th Whigs learn wisdom from their adver saries. Th meeting also passed resolutions thanking "the Hon. Lewis Cass, for his able and palriotie defence reeeat'y made in the Senate of the United States, In favor ef the righta of the South." Tbey might with equal propriety have thanked Marrla Van Bnren, "the Aertaera mao, for hi Southern prmcipltt." Gen. Case as III mly believes his policy will exclnde Slsvery from th Territorie, aa Ex President Tan Bnren believe kit will. But our Democratic friends la Gaston are entitled to their opinion, and most be indulged hr their humor. They win, however, find out Gen.
