This Institution for the promotion of
the Fine Arts in the United States, was

Monument to Col. Louis D. Wihon.
It isJtnowri to many of our readers that
it has been for some time in contemplation
by the people of Edgecombe County, to
erect a suitable caonument to the memory
of their fellow-citizen Col. Wilson, who
died atVera Cruz, Mexico, on his way to
join General Scott's division of the Army.
The contract for its erection has been ta
ken by Mr. S. R. Ford of this city, pro
prietor of the Marble Yard here, for the
sum of $1500... This sum has been raised
in Edgecombe alone by the voluntary con
tributions of individuals, a fact eminently
creditable to the liberality of that county.
The Monument is very nearly comple
ted, and at thr request of Mr. Ford we
looked at it a few days ago. It is built
of Marble, taken from the quarries at
West Slockbridge, Massachusetts, which
for durability is icputcd to he superior to
any in the U. 5 Its dimensions arc as
follows:
1st Base, G feet square, 2 feet, 2 inches
high;
2nd Base, 5 feet square, I foot, S inches
high;
1st Sub-base, 3 feci square, 1 foot, 2 inch
es high;
2nd Sub-base, 3 feet square, 1 foot high.
The Die, on which are cut the records,
is 2 feet square, and 4 feet high, with a
Gothic Cap, on which stands the Plynth
of the Egyptian Obelisk, which is 12 feel
hi ah. On the Obelisk is cut the Coat of
Arms of the U. S. on one side; on the op
posite side arc the Emblems of the Mason
ic Order; on another side is a beautiful
scriptural design.
The height of the Monument is 23 feet,
which is considerably higher than the
Emmet Monument in 'New York, and far
higher than any in North Carolina.
We understand that it will be erected
in the Public Square at Tarboro', and that
the Ceremonies will take place in May;
if we forget not on the 22nd day.
Without pretending to any taste in such
matters, it seems to us that the whole" dc
sign is very good, and creditable alike to
the Committee and Contractor. The let
tering is particularly fine.
On word more. If it would not be
taxing too heavily the gentlemen of Edge
combe, we really think that they ought to
erect some similar testimonial to the
memory of Colonel Henry Irwin, who!
commanded the Edgccombo Regiment at

Ample time will thusbeallorded for alii

J0SIAH 0. WATSON, Chairman.
It will be seen by. the foregoing official
announcement, that.the 13th day of-June
- ' ' - - ' ' - . -V.-'-"- .'- - ' r -j ' '-
has been fixed upon for the meeting of the
Democratic State Convention to nominate
a candidate jor Governor. , . - -
By the 13th;6f June the roads will be
in good order the Superior Courts will
be over and the Supreme Court will be
in session inthis place. Between this time
and that also, our Democratic friends can
hold meetings in all the Counties, com
pare notes, make up their minds as to the
best course to be pursued, anil govern
themselves accordingly. -
In addition to this, it strikes us as good
policy to let the-Whigs "meet and act hrst.
They -have had the Stale Government
fourteen years, and we have' therefore a
rifcht to expect that they will assemble in
A tin account" of
their "stewardship.'- And besides, they
have contributed, as a "party, to chill the
feeling in this State in favor of the Nash
Prominent' leaders
among them, and a majority of their pres
ses, have not only ridiculed that Conven
tion, but denounced it as treasonable and
revolutionary and its friends and advocate;
as agitators and Disumonists. isy mis
course they have inflicted ' injury upor
their own Slate and upon, the South gen
erally, and given aid, encouragement, and
comfort to the enemies of the Union ant!
of our domestic institutions. Let them
answer for this conduct to the People.
We invite our. Democratic friends, again
and again; in all the Counties, to hold
their Meetings at once and appoint their
Delegates. In' the name of the Wake De
mocracy we promise them a cordial and
hearty welcome.

in its theoretical and practical points. In-!
