RALEIGH TIMES. 1 la -ill I' f i ITf ' i H RALE I GH, N. C. FRIDAY FEB. 13, 1652. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. C The Whigs of Rowan, without indica ting any particular preference, describe the character of the man they are prepared to support a3 candidate for Governor. They request their delegates to use all proper exertions to secure ou individual who shall ibe favorably known to the people of the State, and acceptable to the Whigs of the whole State, a man at once honest, ca pable,., and .true to the interests ' of . the State and the Union, and one who shall be able and willing to snatch the copsntiir t ion from the hands of demagogues and political capitalists, and submit it to an open and free convention of lle people for revision and amendment.'' What better ground can good Whigs take any where ? They belong to the conservative party of the country and when they see the fundamental law drag ged into the party arena by .'demagogues and political capitalists," ought they not to interfere to snatch it from such polluted hands, and retain for the people the para mount right of revising and amending their .own constitution? This is what we have contended for all along. Let the Whigs of North Carolina meet this question like men ; let them not fear it ; let them make no attempt to es cape from it. They cannot keep it out of the canvass. There it will pp, and as they meet it, just so will it tell for or a. gainst them. The plain, open, Republi can course of consulting the popular will, and obeying it, that's the true couise for the Whigs of North Carolina. Let them take the advice ofilieir brethren, rather than follow Locofoco Reid and Free Suf frage. CASS STOCK RISLNG. Thirteen of the twenty-three delegates to the Baltimore Convention from Ohio, are said to be in favor of Gen. Cass ; and X of the Baltimore Sun writes that "all the dele gates from .the City ofNeu York have been instructed to vote for Genl. Cass, and he may now be considered the exponent nf Union Pomocracy North and South of Ma son's and Dixon's line." He also seems to think that the refusal of the House to sus pend tfte rules on Monday for the introduc tion of the Tariff resolution, is "rather omi nous" towards Mr. Buchanan. We suppose that correspondent to be good democratic authority at any rate he is considered pretty reliable. Now, whether the Free Soilers and Secessionists, who op pose Cass, can muster strong enough in the .Baltimore Convention to rule him off, re mains to be seen. If the Democrats are to elect the President, Cass is a sound Union man, whatever else he maybe.; and it runs in our mind that this is the reason of the in clination to drop him among the Democracy of the South. Their chance to elect him is probably better than that of any prospective candidate we have seen named. At any rate the boast of Democratic "harmony" seems, under present circumstances, to be .a vain and empty one. FEDERALISM. It ;is .something remarkable, just now, to see certain .papers of this State, peculiarly democratic, and whose abuse of federalists and federalism has been constant on all H -asions, engaged in the laudation and reconenjatjqi, of James Buchanan, of Pennsylvaia,.as their favorite candidate for Presidency. Is he .not the man who de clared "if he hal any democratic blood in his veins he would let .it qut ?" Was he not opposed to Madison, and the late war with England ? Was he not then a Feder alist ? Of course, we do not expect any of the presses we allude to will answer these questions but perhaps the people may like to know something about the man's former principles, as the name of Democracy can hardly whitewash everything. . VALENTINES! We have been shown at Turner's a ;lar-e number of these seasonable missives, .ready prepared for distribution ; some or (them very beautiful, fanciful, emblemat ical, and loving ; while others are droll, humorous, ingenious, and quizzical, with more of sarcasm about them, perhaps,than .compliment. They are all suitable e ,nough, however, for the purpose intended; and we recomnend them to the attention of the young gentlemen and ladies. . Pome roy also has some very splendid Valentines, neatly and delicately put up, t to aid in the fun of the 14th of February ; and we hope, .-as he is in the Southern market, he may receive h3 6hare of the compliments usually distributed by the glrl3 about this time to young and bashful "gentlemen, both in the shape of Valentines sold and Valentines presented. 1 u" si i "'" Lit -.ar j HON WILLIE P. MANGUM. The Weldon Patriot has nominated this gentleman as the Whig candidate for Gov ernor. We agree with the Patriot in the belief that he can beat Governor Reid ;and as this is the post of honor, in North Car olina, we trust his name will come before the Whig Convention when assembled for a nomiqatipn.' The Patriot says, : What say our Whig brethren to the Hon. Willie P. Mangum ? Would it be impolitic, at this particular juncture of af fairs, both State aqd Federal, to call upon the Honorable Senator to lead in the con test in which we are about to engage to place in his hands the standard around whiph cluster so many glorious recollec tions ? at whose name all minor differen ces would be hushed, and the purpose to be victorious infused into the breast of ev ery Whig in the State ? Such a majority as Mr. Mangum could command, if the candidate of the party, would cripple mod ern Democracy for years to cotue. - Breth ren, "every thi?ig for the cause." BUNCOMBE PLATFORM. Some attempt having been made to get up indignation at the resolutions adopted at the Buncombe meeting, on the subject of a Convention in this State, we re-pub-Hsh them, as follows ; Resolved, That we regard the proposed amendment of our State Constitution by Legislative enactment, in a single parties lar, as calculated to deceive tiie people by offering the shadow, while it withholds the substantial relief required. Resolved further, That we regard an unrestricted convention of the people as the only proper mode of amending the Constitution, and will not therefore sup Dort for the office of Governor, any man who shall advocate the former, instead of the latter mode of amendment. 1. They oppose the Free Suffrage by Legislative enactment as a humbug, 2. An unrestricted convention of the people is the only proper mode of amending the constitution. 3. They will not, therefore, support for the offi.ee of Governor any man who shall advocate the former, instead of the latter, mode of amendment. The pledge , we understand, is objected to ; but that only rules off the man who supports amendments to the constitution by Legislative enactment. It lays David Reid flat on his back ; but no one else. If the Whigs put up a candidate who a orees with Reid, the men of Buncombe will not support him they say so, in this resolution; but what good Whig do they exclude? Will the Whig convention be guilty of the folly of nominating a man who is to go around the State mounted behind Reid, on the same hobby ? Well if they do, then the Whigs of Buncombe are pledged not to support him and we are willing to take the same pledge. THE LAWYER AND FARMER. The support of Seward and his follow ers, we are informed by good Locofoco au thority, will be fatal to the hopes of Gen. Scott in the South; and we are free to confess it will go very far to strengthen our disinclination for his nomination as a can didate for the Presidency. Nevertheless, if the kind of taunt, with which this is thrown out to us here, is not entirely gra tuitous, why does not the same good Lo cofoco authority also inform us, that that great, noble and sound Democrat, William O. Butler, is the chosen candidate of Van Buren,Blair, Benton ,and all the Barnburn er Freesoil genus ? We reckon their sup port will be about a3 discreditable to But ler, as that of Seward and his taij can be to Scott. If Seward's support makes Scott a Free Soileij does'nt Van Buren's &c, make one of Butler ? What say you Lofocrats ? How is it with .the lawyer and farmer about the bull ? WHAT'S BECOME OF IT? When Governor Reid first commenced his political pilgrimage, he was very warm ly in favor of changing the name of the House of Commons, to House of Dele gates, or House of Representatives. Can any one tell what's become of the propo sition? or did it evaporate' with his fi ret campaign Our impression is that he neve- alluded to it in his second. The Governor, at that time, probably thought it better to have i v lugu tils bow that if one broke, the other might hold ; but from the jfacdity with which he laid asid.e on"e proposition, as the other grew in importance, may he inferred the value which ought to be set on both. Had the attempt to change the name of the House of Commons been popular, Free Suffrage would probably have been as dead at the present time as the other the recollection of which has almost faded a- way from the minds of men. TELEGFAPHIC. The following despatch was published in Jast Saturday's Register and Standard. We have not seen it confirmed in any Northern paper we have since received: Washington. Feb. 5, 1852. The President has appoirrted Col. Doni phan, of Missouri, Governor of Utah Terri tory. The Chief Judge and Secretary of the Territory, who had left the Territory aDd re paired to Washington, are to return with the new Governor; and troops are to be asked of Cpngress to remove the seat of the Ter ritorial government from Salt Lake City. A defalcation to the amount of a million of dollars, has been discovered in the U. S. Custom House, in San Francisco, T,. But ler King, the Collector, is to be removed.. 0- We are indebted to the Hon. R. F. Stockton, of New Jersey, for a copy of his remarks upon Non-intervention, deliv ered in the Senate, Feb. 2, 1852 j which we have read with pleasure. Our own o pinion i3, that both our Government and people should help, all they consistently can, thp down-trodden of every nation who are endeavoring to throw off the ypke of tyranny, and asserting . their fight to establish a free government for themselves: but that active kind of intervention to which Kossuth sought to commit us, we disapprove of, and hold by the old estab lished principles of the fathers of the Re public. As much" sympathy " as you please with all the nations of the world, but "entangling alliances" with none. Rev. H. G. Leigh. We are pleased to learn that this gentleman's health is rapidly improving. He was at the teble when at tacked; and in the act of reaching out his hand, was suddenly paralyzed, and loss of speech followed. He has been restored to the use of his limbs, and the power of speech, though the hand is still deprived of sensi bility, -"' " ".' " ' ' : ' ' THE UNION PARTY The Washington "Republic'' ha3 an article concerning the dishonest coalitions of Democrats and Free Soilers at the North and Democrats and Secessionists at the South, with a view of controlling the Pres idential. flection, which concludes as fol lows : r 44 We believe that seven-tenths of the American people approve the policy of the Aministration, and dissent, utterly from the views and feelings of the two factions which now control the self-styled Demo cracy. An union of honest mep for the overthrow of these two factions, to exclude them from power, to rebuke their dogmas and heresies, and to build up an Ad.ninis tration upon liberal, national, conservative, principles, strong enough to resist and de fy the assaults of Abolition and Secession fanaticism, would be a coalition of which no honest man need be ashamed, and in which patriotic and wise men might be proud and glad to participate. It is a pit iable spectacle to see great national inter ests bought and sold in the market ; to see important offices, seats in the House and in the Senate, parcelled out among men who profess principles dangerous to the public tranquility and the union of the Slates, because other men who think .alike on the questions of the day are kept apart by an immaterial and unmeaning nomen clature. What does Mr. Clemens find in a name which he wears in common with Messrs. King, Sumner, Molony, Chase, Rhett, Meade, ''Tenable, "'Campbell,' and Hale, to separate him from an Adminis tration in whose leading principles and measures he concurs? And what do the Whigs find in a name that should prevent them from acting in entire concurrence and harmony with men, however they may style themselves, who avow and are ready to act up to the principles embodied in the resolutions of the late Union Con vention of Alabama ? ."It will be a sacrifice of substance to shadows of essences to woids of things to names of honor and patriotism and public interest to sectionalism, prejudice, and personal ambition -if the two great parties which divide the country permit themselves to be thwarted and baffled by any coalition of their aspiring leaders with the viperous factions which ought to have been strangled in their cradle. Tar River.- The Governor has ap pointed the following gentlemen as. com missi oners, under the act of Assembly, to superintend the contemplated improve ments in Tar River, namely : William Norfleet, of Edgecombe ; Richd. II. Lewis, of Pitt ; and James K. Hatton, of Beau fort. MARRIAGE OF JENNY L1ND. Boston Feb. 5. Jenny Lind was this morning married to Otto Goldschmidt, Pi anist, of Hamburg, at the residence of S. .G. Ward, Esq.j her banker, in this city. She married after the episcopal service by the Rev. Dr. Wainwright, in the presence of. Ex-Governor Everett, N. J- Boudifeli, her legal . adviser; Mr. and Mrs; S. W. Ward : and the Swedish Consul. Mr.' Goldschmidt had performed with her at several of her recent, concerts. They will reside for the present at Northampton, Mass. . -y ' REVIVAL IN THIS! CITY. The meeting at the Christian Chapel in -this City, which had been in progress for the last three weeks, was closed last Sun day evenimr with the uicst happy state of feeling. A3 the fruits of this protracted effort, we number over 60 persons happily converted to God ; and 36 that-have taken member ship with the Christian Church. Deep feelings have evidently been excit ed in the congregations that have attended but we are glad to say that nothing like religious phrenzy has exhibited itself in our meetings. The meeting at the Baptist church still .continues about 70 have professed con version, and a nunrber in the congregation still seeking salvation. Chr. Sun. Washington, Feb. 9. Mr. Clarke, of Rhode Island, made a most able speech on non-intervention. As to the practice, the actual commitment of .our Government to such a course, or any alliance or declaration that should compel us to interfere in the af fairs of European nations; for the purpose of maintaining the national law; in short as jtp Any policy that would not leave us mas ters , of bur own destiny and of every act of ourSj as it may be dictated by policy, I pre sume there is no difference between the res olutions of Mr. Clarke, embodying Mr. Clay's sentiments, and the views entertained by Gen. Cass or Judge Douglas. At all e vents, we shall hear the ripe statesman and patriot on the subject, and then submit the matter to the supreme court of public opin ion. : SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. ThA A she ville "Messenger" says: "Not withstanding- that cotton has depreciated nearly 50 per cent, in a short time, negroes are now selling at unusually high prices, which can only be accounted for on the ground that the Compromise acts have qui eted the public mind.dissipated well ground ed fears for the safety of our institutiqns.and restored coaficence to the public mind. Men at the South are not now afraid of be ing eaten up by Abolitionists, or through them, having their slaves taken from them. The ultraists, disunionists and fire eaters are laid low, and common sense is again on her throne. Amen." The Charlotte "Whig11 is principally filled with local matters. It argues against the discontinuance of the U. S. Mint atfthat place; and says: "Our citizens will present a strong petition to Congress to avert this cruel stroke. We hope they will succeed. We are in favor of rotrenchment and reform; but we think it cruel in the General govern ment to begin by wringing from the mouth of poor North Carolina one of the very. few small crumbs vyhich have happened to fall in bet lap from the rich table of the General Government, North Carolina can boast of as much loyalty and attachment to the Union as any other State, and yet she is paid less for it, and complains less top. To take away the amount coined here from the cir culating medium of Western North Caroli na at this lime, when our resources are great ly .depressed, would seriously cripple pur energies, and leave us almost without the means to accomplish our great works of im provements." The Wadesboro' "Argus" calls lustily up on his section to "support your paper." I' well deserves it; and we wish it paying sub scribers by the.thousand. We copy a little hint, which, if attended to in the proper quarters, will be valuable to us : "Advance payments would suit us, as well as our pat rons; and we hope to see them coming in more liberally than they have yet done. Two dollars is a small matter to each indi vidual subscriber, but remember, the great ocean itself is made up of drops." The " Argus " also dissects, with much dexterity, the humbug of one of those pre tended "Astrologers," whose inflated ad vertisements are seen in the Northern city papers. The Greensboro' "Patriot's" leading ar ticle we have transferred to another column. The Fayetteville "Observer" defends the President against the censure of the Wil mington Journal for "chilling reserve" to Kossuth and for "extreme cautiousness'' in his answer to the Irish Committees. We also extract the following. We agree that it is a small matter; our notion is, that the more meetings the people have, and the more sets of delegates the better that's all : "The Washington Whig, Raleigh Times, and perhaps other papers, strongly object to the proposed plan of appointing Delegates to the National Whig Convention. We have heretofore expressed our approval of it, but if it does not meet with general ap probation, we will cheerfully yield the point. We consider it a matter of very little impor tance too little for Whigs to differ about. "P. S. We see that the Whigs of Bladen have resolved (by a majority of one we hear) in favor of a District Convention. That of course settles the question as to this District.' The "People's Press" remarks on the S, C. Homestead law and recommends po litical capital thusi "Political aspirants ! All you who-delight to snuff the popular breeze!- Here is a hobby for you to ride.of which you need not be ashamed ! Take hold of the matter in right good earnest.anu while you are elevating yourselves in the es timation of the people, you will do the State essential service. We know we have men possessed of magnanimity enough to come out and soar above the petty follies which have characterised some of our Legislative campaigns, as well as some of the acts of the Legislature." Gov. Reid, perhaps, may take this "hob by" into consideration. The Goldsboro' "Republican and Patriot" gives the news generally; and glorifies the Kentucky democracy as well as General Butler, who is said to be "utterly free from all taint of freesoilism!" It might have add ed (but did not) that Van Buren, Benton, Blair, &c. are moving heaven and earth to give him the nomination for the Presidency! The same paper gives the "Spirit of the North Carolina Press," and is probably in advance of us in this feature. "The Old North State" has an article re specting the Whig State Convention from which we quote ; "There are no truer Whis in the Union than the Whis of Eastern North Carolina none who are more willingto make personal sacrifices for the success of their party. But they cannot and will not sacrifice principle for the suc cess of a.ny party or man. There are some issues which will be dragged into the next ca,pvas.s, which will injuriously affect the party, .unless prudent counsels shall prevail i the .Convention. Our Whig brethren in the West, if the proper representations are made, will, no doubt, be disposed to act with justice aiid moderation ; if they do pot, then any failure of the party wul rest upon them. What "principle" the Whigs of the East are required to "sacrifice" we declare we cannot see. As a good Whig, we expect to suppprt and vote for the nominee of the State Convention, whether he agrees with us on State policy or not. If all Whigs.East and Westwill dp the same, he is certain to he elected-, and that's what we go for. CITY PRESS. The "Standard" has a letter from Prof. Emmons to Gov. Reid on the Coal forma tion in Chatham; charges that Mr. Badger is for Gen. Scott for President; and arraigns the Register for " dodging the question whether it will support that chieftain for the Presidency. The same paper also copies from the Union and Intelligencer the ac count of the interview between Clay and M. Kossuth, The Hungarian seems not so rtiuch a hero in the Stapdard's eyes, as he appeared at first. The "Register" has an article upon Mr. Venable and Secessipn ; and the Democra cy of the State srre charged with holding the sentiments and doctrines of his speech. 'They are Secessionists ! Venable, Rhett, and Quitman are the true expounders of their faith, and ruin will follow their politi cal rule !" The "Star's " leader is in favor of an "Agricultural Society for Wake ;" it also has articles about the Kossuth and Kinkle humbugs, called "loans;" and copies the articles of the Greensboro' and Hillsboro' papers about a Reform Convention. CONGRESSIONAL. In the Senate, Feb'ry. 4, Mr. Stockton presented the petitiop of PaptAm Charles Wilkes, asking an appropriation of $500, 000 for the purpose of exploring the Arctic Seas in search of Sir John Franklin. Mr. Shields introduced a bill making a grant of land to the several States for the support of the indigent iiisane; which was referred to a selectcomm'ittee of five." The bill to en force discipline and good conduct in the Navy, was passed.

The Senate took up the joint res olution for the printing Of the returns of the Seventh Census, and, after a long debate, by Messrs. Smith, Badger, Cass, Borland, Hamilin and Gwin, without taking any ques tion, the Senate adjourned. In the House, the civil and' diplomatic bill was reported by Mr. Houston, from the committee of Ways and Means. The House aorain went into committee on the bounty land bill, when Mr; Brenton finished his speech, and was followed by Mr. Gates Different amendments' were then proposed and discussed until the adjournment. In Senate, on the 6th, Mr. Pratt pre sented a memorial of the Board of Trade and others of Baltimore, praying that fog bells ma v be placed on Chingoteagne Island, Smith's "Island, Cape Islaud, Cape Henry, Currituck or False Cape, Cape Hatteras, Cape Fear, and also on the Light-Boats iu Chesepeake bay. The private calendar was then taken up, a number of bills ordered to a third reading, and "die Senate adjourned.

MARRIED. At Locust Grove, bv the Rev. Joniah Crndup, on the evening ofthe 28ti! of January, Mr. Thos. J. Blacknall.of Henderson, Granville County, and Miss Louisa J. Foster, of Hie County of Franklin. For the "Raleigh Times. To t.he Editor: Allow me to congratu late you on your return to the Editorial chair, with a hope that your herculean power will awaken our people to a sense of their rights, and overthrow the little Reid and Legislative trick practised to deceive, and to retain in power a man who all must admit is unqual ified to be Governor; and who obtained his position by mounting a hobby too contempt ible for honest great men to straddle. Ingratitude. I see, sir, from your val uable paper, and also from the Locofoco pa pers, that a host of names from the old Van Buren Locofoco ranks are in high keeping and training for the Presidential nomination; (none, of course, will I support;) nor would I if I were a Locofoco, from the fact that they arid their presses are all guilty of gross, gross ingratitude to the only man in. the country who saved them, as a party, from utter arid irretrievable ruin, shame and dis grace; and who is as well qualified as any of the numerous applicants now election eering and training for the Locofoco Presi dency, I allude to Old Roan, of North Carolina, who is completely overlooked, run over, and laid or kicked aside', by the trusty pack, who forgetful of past services, ana never-to-be-forgotten exertions, are running ahead to gather the fruit he shook down, or ride the colts he broke. Now, sir, was there ever before, is there now, or will there ever be hereafter, so un grateful a set or party known, as they are. After Old RoANsaved them, asa party, with his Two-thirds Rule, on that high prince of villains, Martin Van Buren, in the Conven tion that nominated Polk, when a large ma jority of that body went there pledged ai.d determined to nominate their darling pet, with a full knowledge of all his high crimes, and misdemeanors in office staring them and their country in the face, yes," sir, with 'a full knowledge of all his crimes, and good reasons for believing, yea, knowing he was, then, what his late conduct has proven him to be, against the- constitutional provision ofthe Southern Statesr a large majority ,eyen from the South, went to the Conventioa as aforesaid sworn to support him again- And at that moment their deliverer came in the person of Old Roan, who saw his and his party's ruin, and snatched it from an abyss by his iwo-ihirds lever and, after all this, he is trampled under foot by this same gang of Locofoco Van Buren office traders. Was there ever such base wrong and ingrati tude done a man? But for Old Roan, where would their party be? Down, down, never to rise agaiu. And,,- I-plight ask, where would our country be? ' Not down but in trouble and difficulties far greater than we had with the Secessionist. Abolition ist "Freesoilist. and everv other ist we ever encountered. I have frequently told the Locofocos of my county, (and God knows thee are too many of them here) that they owed a debt of lasting, yea perpetual, grati tude to Old Roan; that they and their par ty throughout the country should do all and everything for him that lay in their power ; and really, from my heart, I think they ought. Now. sir. is it not strange that the .Loco focos. after all this ingratitude, and all their heinous damning crimes, in being ready, willino- and cnxious to nominate and sup nort their darling man from the North with Southern feelings, should have the hardi hood and effronterv to cry .nloud for Democ racy and Southern institniions, and a love for the dear people, and economy in State department, after afull knowledge of ail Van Buren's base and palpable defaulted! And is it hot still stranger, that the good honest people of our country should suffer this same gang of Locofocos to lull and deceive them by again attempting to pack off on them one of that same old Van Buren set, and leave Old Roan dependant on his State for promotion? The truth is, he deserves much from this State for his manly course in regard to her improvements, for which she will r.ot be ungr'teful. A yord on the candidate for Governor. My first choice is Stanly -how can we spare him from Congress? Rely on it, he is the only man for the time, and the only one to meet Reid and put him where he belongs. Stanly, or just such another, must be the candidate (if he can be found) no milk and water man will do to fight this battle. The right kind of a man can beat the Free Suff rage pony, with his coarse long fetlocks, as far as the renowned Old Sir Archie could have beaten a Jackass: I am surprised; sir, that the speaking men of our party do not handle that Baltimore Convention affair moie than 'hey have ever done heretofore. Why, sir, it ought and will damn every cne who went there, if it is rightly applied to them. They can no more shake it off or dodge it than a leopard can his spots ; and if you wish to put one of them in torture, just saddle him with it; and, with all his impudence and courage, you will soon have his rooin. I could say much more of the Locofocos, in my awk ward way, and if you think this of sufficient importance to occupy a place in your very valuable paper," perhaps I will touch them acraiii and aain in their many tender places. " " Yours, CLAY. Warrenton, N. C. Feb. 7th, 1852. The Negro Exclusion Bill passed the Senate of Indiana on the 22d ultimo. The bill, as it now stands, does not. pre vent the negro from coming into fJXe taie, but levels all its penalties against the white man who employs or feeds a negro who he does not know to have been a citizen of the State when 'the constitution was adopted, and requires the negroes already here to reg ister their names, and carry around with him acertficatefrom the. clerk ofthe circuit court that he is entitled to iive in the State. Shortly after the passage of this bill Mr. Dunn, from Lawrence, introduced a reso lution instructing the cbmmitee on federal relations to report a bill providing for the colonization of the negroes now in, or who may hereafter acquire a residence in this State by birth. The resolution was adoj ted by a vote of 36 to 11. Richmond India.' Pallf.dium.' Free Negroes jn Maryland.
