Permit us toanrrgestto this Masfaehusetti ora tor, that the toil and bodies of Massachusetts have leen"ftd" by a more stimulating fertilizer than the blood of dead men.

Is doomed to a most complete failure so far as its ability to do any harm Is concerned. North Carolina will not be represented, and we believe tbat Sooth Carolina alone will have a full delegation there. Some of the Democratic papers are very doloront on the Subject, and charge the entire failure to the course of opposition pursued by Whigs and Whig news papers. In this view nf the case, the Wilmington Journal breaks out in the following language : "Hereafter we must take the only practical course In set North Carolina right npon this quest'rn Make her Democraticmake her Democratic !" Aye ! there lies the rub t "Make her Democra tic ! We think it will prove an ua-nilfbuainesa. The Democratic party glories in its identification with this Southern Convention sclienie, and we are glad of it. They will find it quite aa difficult lo "make" the State "demoemtic" as they found it to frighten Whigs from propriety by all their sense' less ranfings about the necessity of a Southern Convention. "MaRo her democratic! How is to be done ? Surely not by calling her peace-lov ing cilixeua "submissionists" ahd "tories," and by threatening to hang them with "grapo-Vipes." If this is tho way to "make her democratic f "we shall see how it will operate, The only, way in which North Carolina fan be made democratic is by that party showing by (heir acts -not by profession lhat they are moreiatrioiic, jast and proper in all their policy and aims than are the Whigs, And this involves a change on their part which tio fx isthig circumstance givAaj reason to. hope for or expect. . , , 8alisbi Ifodk.

A spirited meeting of the citizens of Washington was held in the Court Huuse, on Saturday uight, May tlh,to take into consideration the subject of a Plank Road to Raleigh. On motion of W. B.

THE RIGHT OF WOMEN PRACTICALLY EXEMILIFIED. The New York Mirror jjives the following ac count of a feminine transaction in that city- Whether this ui Ihe legitimate result of the Wo men's Convention at Salem or not, it looks like the .practical application of the doctrine there promulgated and agree with the bill of 'rights' then adopted which declares 'that the practice of holding women amenable to a different standard of prnprietry and morality from that to which men are held amonable is unjust and unnatural, and highly detrimental lo domestic and social virtue and happiness :' . , , A Pttikeal DuelOa Saturday a portion of the good folks.of Hudson St. were much alarmed on hearing the report of two pistols simultaneous ly, and upon investigation, discovered that a du el hid-been fought by two ladies, in a very res pectable boarding house in that street. It appears. that a very fashionable and prepossessing young 'blood,' named Williams, was in the hibit or visi ting arid paying very' markfeiT attention to both ladies', and on Saturday evening he was to call upon one of (hem and take her out for a walk. The other, who was preparing to go out that afternoon,on becoming acquainted with this facf postponed her visit, arid satd she would stop at home to reaoire Mr: W, The other, on. hearing this, of conrse felt highly IndignanJ', being desi rous of Mr. VV'i society exclusively, and instant ly demanded satisfaction of her rival, who said she was perfectly willing fo 'cive it, anil a" duel was decided npop. By Ihis t:ne their little tem pers were pretty well agitated, and one run to the rflbm of It gelnflematt boarder, who was abnent, and obtained hia . brace of pistols, which she laid before her antagonist to take her choice.'

The bload thirsty leminines then proceeded to the garret, to be more out of the way of interruption and each taking her place, as fur distant, as the walls would permit, the word 'fire' was given both pistols were discharged, and both of the ludies fell. V The alarm was instantly given and the pert-ons in tho house rushed to the room. Both of the girls were lying on ihe floor insensible, with the servant leaning over tliem,, screaming the moat frightful screams. It appeared, that however that no serious injury had taken plnce, their nerves on ly having suffered, and after the application or res toratives, they recovered. They looked a little abashed when they, came to their senses, but at once flew into each others arms, and after brief hysterical display, calmed down sufficiently to con gratulate each other on this fortunate escape, ami mutually resolved to repudiute henceforth' all gay'deceivcrs, and the caune of this bljodlpsr tragedy. . . - - , A BACHELOR'S WOES.

In speakihg -ofthe prevalence of secftt eocietiea generally, the Utica Herald notices the establishment of it secret order among the liquor dealers in Wisconsin, called the "Liquor Dealers' Protective Union," to operate against the influence ofthe Sons of Temperance. They have also started a secret society known, by the name ofthe "Secret Order of Bacchus," the object of which is declared to be, "to preserve some Vestige of mirth, hilarity, and happiness in this world, in spite ofthe chilling affects of coud water and canting hypocrisy." The above paragraph has just now for the first time presented Itself to our optics, although itmay long since have "traveled ihe rounds' as editors express it.'

'But how came he to bite you, Joe 1' still questioned the lit tle friend.

The pressure of public opinion is set the right way, and if not interfered1 witli by legislation, will soon banish iutoxiculion' from our midst. .V, Y. Sun.

As he was crossing' Ihe threshold of the sacred edifice, he heard, to his surprise and horror, the sound of an organ within. Jitst at that moment a gentleman invited him lo walk in and take a seat. "Not zactljy Mister." replied Zeh; "I airita used to no sieh do in's on a Sunday ; and besides, I don't dimre !" . ' Boston Pest. :. '" I . ' ;..:.', Female Doctors. The Legislature, we see it staled, haa chartered a college for the medical ed ucation of females in Philadelphia, which is to be' opened next O lobnr. This hi probably the first college of the kind that has ever been organized. Elizabeth Blackwell, M. D , is talked of fir the' Chair of Surgery. If any thing could make a sur gical operation pleasant lo one's feeling, it wduid be when performed by one of that sex who, since1' the foundation of the world, has been accustomed to probing the hstirt and feelings of men sen sensi bly and pleasantly. -Philadelphia Ledger. ANOTHER FACTOrFoN HALF WORK. Messrs. Robert Walker and B udlcennd Burk will be gratified to hearthat in addition tolheBat--teraea and Eltrick Factories in this city, the Me chanics' ..Manufacturing Company have been com pelled to go upon the half work system. HiiKa for Free Trude ! Huzza for Robert J. Walker t: Huzza for BundJecund Burke ! Prt. Intel The "Lowxll Amkricar" holds this Ungear,' of Horace Mann's recent Address : "The pulpa-' ble aim is lo stigmatise the commercial men of Bos ton who signed the Webster certificate, as lover of gold rather than humanity. Mr. Munn finds tliat his language does not suit the roonled men of Boston, and he is trying to make an application of it to New York and Philadelphia people. The de vice is a mean and paltry one. The, quotations' were exactly to the purpose, and applied to Boston' as well as to the cither cities. But Mr. Mann see' thai Boston has vote Iq give which can affect his political prospect, while New York and Philadel phia have none. For shame ! The"BosToM Cocrier," says: "Mr. Manft, has attempted to shoot with a heavier piece of artillery than he can manage. I( is not surprising lhat the gun has kicketfhim." Cottoh Tradb. The Mobile Advertiser of tb 7lh instant has the folWmg : Decrease in CoN' ftm. The crop is nw abort over six hundred thousand bales. Averaging th number of bale taken by each siip-at 3,000, and it would require 100 hips to take il to market. This calculation shows the heavy lose sustained by the single inter' est of shipping. The freight on 600,000 bales, at $5 per bale, the usual price, with an average crop, would amount to $3.1)00,000 The increased pric'e.in part, compensate the planter, but fof the' ship owner there is no help. The rule in his cam operates the other way j as the ouantity increases, tlie price of freights goe tfp but It goe down with equal certainty on a reduced crop". Thaf price of cotton never affects freights, lliey re reg ulated like everything else, by the demand and supply, bat the price ef frieighu often affect tliat of cotton. Ow Partt. The Albany Stale Regllttr wlf says of the Whig party thaf it "is Ant i socialist party, is not an anti-rent party, i not an abolition party, is not i sectional party : but a great national party, a constitutional party, a law-loving and InwJ abiding-party. General Taylor, it's chief, is not a socialist, nor an anti-renter, niir an abolitionist, nor a sectionalism nor a naltifier ; but a RAttoaAi Whio, and the impartial Executive of the whole' Union." ..
