FRENCH AFFAIfli I ,
An important step (says the Baltimore
American) has been taken by the French
Government. The whole of France has
been included in a
military organization
under five Lieutenant Generals.!each hav
ing a particular section under his com
mand. This arrangement does not dis-

is uesigneo io give unity anu concentration
tothe military power. There weresev
en'teen generals of division under the for
mer system, and there are as many how.
The new organization, however, groups
I .I:..: i t . ;-.
several divisions under a Lieutenant Gen-
ral, so that the five chiefs of ihelgrade
now represent and wield thd militrv
power of France.

This movement may be supposed to

lJ,
srve order against the disturliinc; influ

secondly, to a frord the means of cbrisolU
dating and strengthening; the lexelcutive
power. Thes two purposes, in th? pres
ent condition of France, are not considered
diverse or at variance with each other.
It.seems to be indispensable, considering
the habits and characteristicsof the French
people, that they should havq a strong
government, Mbat the militarv elemJnt
should enter largely ioto it, anji that the
exercise ol sovereign power should be in
the hands of aoeflicient executive. ! All

Mr Webster's speech, which we publish
to day, is not well received by ihe Northern
Whigs generally. The Boston Atlas declares
thai ihe sentiments of the Speech ,4are not
those of the Whigs of New England," and the!
Courier of ihe same City is evidently inclined
to condemn the effort?' Standard.
With a kind of presentiment tat we would
lave need for it, we laid aside' the "Boston-
Courier," pf March 14th.
And7.su re- enough
we have. The foregoim? extract from the
Standard, does such gross injustice, and is demi
aK0g,rai w-nnai, inai we are oriven io ine eon
elusion that fairness and honesidealing will
never be recojrnised as virtues byj that paper.
The Courier of the same City is evidently
inclined lo condemn the effort !f . Indeed !
Well now, read ihe following unequivocal Ian
euage from the Courier, which had been pun
ishd and received i before ihe last Standard
-was issued, and say if its Editor is not 44 tn
dined" to misrepresentation. !
44 If (here be a man among us vho dissents
from the principles of Mr. Webster's speech
we should like to see him answer it. We
should be happy to know in wha other shape
,n' qeion, can be; placed, thanhe shape in
wnicu Mr. W ebster has presented it; what
other argument,as a constitutional a:fgument,can
be made upon the great points at issue, than tbe
argument Mr. Webster has made ? We, in
the North, all dislike slavery, it is true, and
a dTe gelf,d .f but cal s,averv
dealt with constitutionally in anvi other mode
than Ihe one he :has pointed lout ? With
those persons who would resort to extra consti
tutional modes we have nothing to? say.
44 There may be different opinions on minor
points embraced in Mr. Webster's; speech, but
there can be but one opinion on this point, that
i as a constitutional argument lo b applied to
I ,he settlement of the, existing dispute between
lne iNorth and booth, it is impregnable, unas-
j sailable. irrefutable it is the true argument.

Whichever way we turn we must encounter
difficulties. Here islhe constitutional remedy :
if that will not put an end to ihe strife, nothing
will. Let any man show us a sounder princU
pie or a safer guide ihan those noyf before us,
and we shall cheerfully adopt themfl Till then
we must earnestly hope that MrJ' Webster's
truly national and statesmanlike efforts for ih

DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION.

aim at all, is that of oreaKing up me
peace, harmony, and happiness of the

thinking about resorting to violent mea

an abiding confidence in the wisdom and
truth pf the National Legislature ; and
until this confidence is swept away en

are broken down and over ridden, by the

Central Influence, or Raleigh Clique !
What is this of which we hear so much, ;
of late, from Raleigh ? Almost every pa
per from there, comes with a long article
bearing the above Or some similar cap
tion. We must confess we are in the
dark up here our own fault, doubtless ;
having paid little attention to the long ed
itorials alluded to. Who has accused our
Raleigh friends of entertaining a purpose,
or a wish, to itnpose upon the party ? If
any thing has fallen from us (and we think
there is nothing,) that could by any possi
ble construction look that way. we now
distinctly assure them that nothing of the
kind was intended, j We think our Ral
eigh folk are entirely too sensitive on this
point. We think they talk too much about

those who will gladly use them to their
injury, and against the interest of the
Whigs. !

there is no prejudice among them against

not let the good old State fall into tbe

Southern Rights Meeting. large
an(i respectable meeting: was held in the
Town ot Washington, Beaufort county,
on Monday night the 18th instant, for the
purpose, ofconsidering the Nashville Con-
vention movement. The meeting was
addressed by Dr. Norcom. George E. B.
Singletary, and W. B. Hodman, in favor
of the Nashville Convention ; and by T.
B. Satterthwaite, E. J.Warren, and Hon.
R. S. Donne II against it. A Committee
was appointed to report resolutions. The
Committee could not agree. So there
were two reports made: One for the
Nashville Convention, by the majority,
and one against it, by the minority! The
voting then commenced ; and those for
the Nashville Convention resolutions took
We should like to see the vote of all
the Southern States taken on the question
of the Nashville Convention. We think
it would make certain hot gentlemen open
their eyes.
DC7 Now that this is the season of the
year that peach trees are in bloom, it will
be as well to call tbe attention of mothers
aVid nurses to the fact that these blossoms
are extremely pleasant to the taste of
children, but also dileterious in their ef-
i
fects.
We are informed by a physician of this
place that he was called to see a child in
the neighborhood in a state of insensibili
ty accompanied with great irregularity
of respiration, &C, and was unable to
account for this condition of things, until
by action of an emetic he threw up a ve
ry few of these blossoms. After which
all tbe bad symptoms ceased without fur
ther treatment.
NEW DIVISION. .
We learn from a friend at Jonesville,
Surry county, that the Rev. Mr. Pearce,
agent of the Grand Division, of the Sons
of Temperance of this State, has estab
lished a Division in that place, and that
it bids fair to do much good towards stay
ing the ravages of intemperance, in that
part of the State. We are pleased to
learn also, that it has found many sup-
Dorters amonfir tbe students of the Male

and the object now so near the hearts of
every Son of Temperance will soon be
accomplished.

Wilmington Convention. We subjoirf ihe
44 Aurora's" editorial account of tbe Wi'lram.
ton Southern Right's1 Convention. Most per.
sons who have paid any attention to this move,
ment, and especially to the announcements of
it by the 44 Aurora," and ihe blood and thunder
articles which have from lime lo time, appeared
in its columns, can't rail to mark the contrast
which this account presents. It gives plain.ev.
idence of ihe Editor's disappointment ; and lbs
apologies" he makes, would leave the infer,
ence that be did not submit to the disapporat
ment like a good philosopher. Our 4 Wilkes!
correspondent may find some consolation in the
fact that this valiant knight of the quill" will
have to "fix" Gov. Dudley, James J. McKay.
and Dr. Fed. Hill, before be can gel to the
mountains with his 44 grape vine."

THE WILMINGTON CONVENTION.

the proceedings of this meeting. We omirall

ties in the Convention, as there is every where;
one for bold action, the other for slumber, Ye
regret extremely to learn that Gov. Dudley,
James J. McKay, Dr. F. J. Hill, and others ef
less note, have made efforts to arrest lbe pro
ceedings of primary assemblies. They an
beaten. For all these gentlemen we entertain
a high respect, but when they dare to put them
selves between the South and her rights, we
feel it an incumbent duty to exnibit them. We .
will spare no man who steps between .us and
tbe consequences we pursue. We wish to pre-
serve ihe Union, if it can be done on honora
ble terms, nothing "more, nothing less. The
best way to preserve it is the Nashville Con
vention. If it cannot preserve the Union, &
can preserve the South. Our private advices
from Washington express lbe opinion, that the
Union can be saved by Mr. Webster. If aoj
j person can, he can, but 44 shadows, clouds and
darkness rest upon it. We have so often de. i
livered our views, so piled precept upon pre.
cept, that no further expression is necessary
from us. Nevertheless, we feel it our contin
ued duty, to rouse ail lbe brave hearts of the
State; because with a sort of political clair
voyance, we think we see a bad time coining

position to tremble ; and upon that hint we act

the genuine feeling; of the Convention. It so
