At a" meeting of the Democratic Associa tion of District, No. 15, held at the house of James C. Marks, on Saturday, the 15th June, 1844, after an effective and stilting speech from Wm. fi. Bellamy, Esd the following Resolutions wese unanimously adopted: Resolvedy That we cordially and enthu siastically approve of the nomination" of IAMES K. POLK, of Ten. and GEO. M. DALLAS, of Penn. as candidate for the office of President and Vice President, and will use every honorable and manly effort to secure their election. Resolved That we recognue in Messrs. Polk and Dallas, Republicans of the Jeffer- sonian school of politics men opposed to the establishment of a 50 million JNational Bank to an odious protectiveTariff, ivhich taxes the South for the benefit of the North to Distribution, which creates ihe neces sity for raising the Tariff to supply the de ficiency thus created the friends and ad vocates of the Annexation of lexas and in fine, Democrats in all things, and oppo ed to the whole brood of Federal heresies and abominations. Resolved, That we believe the nomina tion of Messrs. Polk and Dallas, will be the signal for the thorough re union of the whole Republican party from Maine to Georgia from the Atlantic to the Pacific and with exertions commensurate with the truth of our principles, Federalism will be driven from the land. Resolved, That the above resolutions be published in the Tarboro Press, Washing - ton Republican, and Raleigh Standard. Conerets. In the Senate, on the 10th inst, Mr. t . :i.AnoA o tiill fnr ttiP annexation of Texas, which on the 13th inst. was laid on the table by a tote of 25 to 20; being a strict party Vote, with the exception of Mr. Hannegan, a de mocrat, who Voted for laying the bill on th table, and Mr. Tallmadge, t Whig, voted against'laying in on the table. On Monday last, at 12 o'clock, the two Houses aejourned sine die. jtnnnintments bv the President, Amonrthe re- cent appointments by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, we notice the following: John Branch, of North Carolina, to be Governor of the Territory of Florida, from llth August, 1844, viceR. K. CaU, whose commission will then have expired. George M. Bibb, of Kentucky, to be Secretary of the Treasury. Nathaniel P. Tallmadge, of New York, to be Governor of the Territory of Wis consin, from the 13th September next, vice J. G. Doty, whose commission will then expire. T. A. Howard, of Indiana, to be Charge d'Affjires to Texas. R. Wickliffe, jr., to be Charge d' Affaires to Sardinia, vice Ambros Babcr, recalled. James D. Hallyturton, of Virginia, to be Judge of the Eastern District of Virginia. Thomas G. Scott re-appointed Deputy Post-master at Raleigh, North Carolina. John McRae re-appointed Deputy Post master at Fayetteville, North Carolina. From the Democratic Signal. Mr. Dallas and the Bank. The Whiff papers can find no fault of the nominees of the Baltimore Convention, except that Mr. Dallas, as chairman, re ported a bill in 1S32 to re-chaiter the U. S. Bank. Hear how a plain tale will van quish them. "Mr. Walker, of Mississippi, here rose and said, that he had been requested by several delegates from the South, to slate the fact well knoWn to himself, that it was true that Mr. Dallas, in 1S32, did support a bill for the recharter of the Bank; but it was also true, that he stated at the time, in his place in the Senate, that he did so in obedience to instructions of the then Legis lature of Pennsylvania. His colhague. Mr. Ellis, was in the Senate, and knew the fact also that Mr. Dallas stated, not only that he voted on the quotion in obe dience to these instructions, but that he acted in direct opposition to his own deci ded views and opinions. Mr. Walker could state farther, that two weeks after this Vote was given, Mr. Dallas went back to Philadeldhia, and addressed a mass meeting of that City in an able and convin cing speech against the Bank; and from that period, down to the present, Mr. Dallas had continued its uniform, vigorous, and decided opponent. As to Mr. D's views on the Texas question, Mr. W. said that the verv first letter within the year, that had appeared in the United Mates in lavor of annexation, was a letter from Geo. M. Dallas. That letter was clear and decided in favor of annexation. And what gave it double force and value was this that it was written long before the excitement on this subject, and was to tally disconnected with any views to official station. Mr. Powhatan Ellis said the facts stated by Mr. W. were strictly true." More Changesf vVe saw a gentleman a few days since, who has just returned to his home in Warren county, Va., From a visit to the South and West. He is .1 gen tleman of talents and intelligence, and we doubt not of influence where he is kndwn. lie told us that he has hitherto been a Whig, that he voted for Gen. Harrison, and that he designed supporting Mr. Clay until his anti-annexation letter appeared. "Since then," says he, I irttend voting for the annexation candidate, and now I intOnd to support Polk and Dallas." This gentleman informed us that In the South and South West, the Whigs were runnirig front Clay like horses from a pra ire dn fire. A gentleman frtim Easterm Virginia, says numerous followers of Clay have withdrawn their support from him on ac count of his letter against annnexation. Really, M. Clay is growing very popular. ywckwgham Va. Register. From the Raleigh Standard. Supreme Court.

On Friday morn ing at 25 minutes before two oclOck, an explosion occurred in one of the Black Heath Coal Pits, in Chesterfield in con sequence of one of the furnaces not being kept up, and the current o'f fresh air being thereby cut off. A barrel 'Of gunpowder was first ignited, and its 'explosion fired the gas, which was Secreted. Twelve hands were in the pit 4 Englishmen and 8 Negroes (4 belonging to Mr. A. Reid, 2 to Mr. M alone, 1 to Mr. Page, and 1 to Mr. Drake.) Mr. Gilford, the General Agent of the Company, exhibited much intrepidity on the occasion, and descended, accompanied by Mr. Joseph Hall, one of the Agents. About ten yards from the foot of the shaft. one of the Englishmen (Joseph Jewett) was found, still living, but senseless. He will probably recover. We learn from yester day's Cornpiler, (tO Whom we are indebted for most of our facts, that all the bodies of those killed by the explosion, (except two of the Negroes,) were found, horribly dis figured, on Saturday, after an active search. The six colored men were buried on Sat urday, and the threfe Englishmen were consigned to the grave on Sunday morning. To-day, at 12, M., Bishop Johns will preach their funeral sermon at the house of Mr. .Gifford. We should be glad to listen to his eloquent commentary on this aWful dispensation of Providence. Since the terrible explosion of 1S40, when 51 lives were lost, every precaution h s been adopted to guard against danger such as the use of Sir Humphrey Davy's safeJy lamps, &.c. but, from the neglect of orders, this tremendous loss of life Oc curred. Richmond Enquirer. Four Sisters killed by Lightning. We learn from the Cincinnati Chronicle, that the house of Mr. Horner, a gentleman living near Lebanon, Ohio, was struck by lightning on Thursday two weeks, and his four only daughters instantly killed. Two were in the front room up stairs. The old gentleman and his lady were the only persons in the house besides the daughters. Mrs. Horner was seriously injured, and remained insensible some time. Mr. Horner was considerably stunned, but soon recovered. Rumored Troubles i?i Canada. The N. Y. Sun learns by passengers from the Canada frontier, w ho arrived in New York, on Sunday morning, 4that terrific scene- of riot add disorder were being enacted last week near the Lachine Canal. The facts, as near as we can gather them, are, that the Irish laborers who were recently dis charged for their interference at the Mon treal election or a member of Parliament, assembled in great numbers on Wednesday or I hursday, and commenced the work of destruction and bloodshed by destroying the work, attacking the contractors, and beating the overseers. The military were called out & marched tojthe scene of carnage add bloodshed. As the companies approa ched the rioters, symptoms of disaffection Weie manifested in the ranks, but con cealed from the officers. The spiritof revolt gradually spread among the army, & being drawn up before the rioters, on receiving orders to fire, the soldiers grounded their arms! declaring their unwillingness to fire. The utmost consternation prevailed among her Majesty's officers of the highest grades; the subordinates united with the revolu tionists, and ordered the temporary seizure of all who would not join in the revolution. JUcn are the lacts, as near as We have been able to collect therrt from gentlemen of re- speciaDiiuy wno nad just antved from the frontier. We Confess the Story is rather improbable." 'Hie following also, is from the Pitts burg Chroniclcle of Saturday last: We heard d report last night, founded UpUri information said to have been recei ved By a gentleman in this city, who has a son residing in Toronto, U. C, that there had been a fresh outbreak at Niagara, U. C, between the Patriots and the civil au thorities. The Patriots hid been making some movements which the civil authorities did not like, and the troops were Called out and the Patriots dispersed for the time only it is thought for ihe purpose of organizing to make resistance. We give the above as a rumor, having no Certainty in the informa tion. fVashingtonMarket, June 2fj. Corn wholesale, $1 90 per barrel. Bacon 6 a 74 cents. Lard, 7 cents. Naval stores.
