THE CONVENTION QUESTION. Our friends of the Greensborough Patri- ot, though not dissenting from the views I expressed in the Recorder of last week in reference to the propriety of confining the Convention to the canvass for members of the Legislature, yet doubt heT practicabil ity. We do not know, if we should at tempt it, that we should succeed id persua ding our friends that our views are entirely practicable; but we are fully persuaded that they present the only plan that will consist with harmony in the Whig ranks, without which they can have no proepect tof success. We think it is only necessary to cohipare the views of our friends in dif ferent parts of the State, to make this evi dent. The chuckling of the Standard o ver the honest differences of opinion in bur ranks on the question of amendments to the Constitution, we do not regard. There are differences of opinion, and be ing honestly entertained we cannot expect them to be surrendered. The sentiments of the people of the West, as advocated by the Patriot, are very plainly set forth in the liuncombe resolutions: they desire to submit the amendment of the Constitution to an open Convention. The sentiments of the East, we take it. are quite as expli citly set forth in the Elizabeth City Old North State; thejr are opposed to a Coru vention, and if amendments must be made' they prefer it should ad by legislative en actment. To bring otrt a candidate fot Governor, therefore, pledged to the one or the other of these parties wouIdjLo. our o pinion, result in defeat. Our views on this matter were expressed in the Recorder two years ago; and we have seen no cause since to change our opinion. We believe now, as we did then, that North Carolina is a thorough Whig State; but if the party is to be divided by admitting into the can vass questions so irreconcilable, and which have no legitimate connection with the .of fice of Governor, we can expect no other result than a reperftibn of the defeat- of 1850. But however desirable it may be thai the question of amending the Constitution should be confined entirely to the canvass for members of the Legislature, the Patri ot is of opinion thai it cannot "be confined there. To be sure it cannot, if we all, like the editors of the Patriot, take it for granted it must form a part in the canvass for Governor. But is no regard to be had for the fitness of things? In consequence of the Act of the last session, the question of amendments of (he Constitution will necessarily enter into the canvass for the election of members of the Legislature, for they will be called upon to give expression o the will of the people in that particular. But the' election of Governor has no such t'&rfiiectioii with the question ; it will not eve serve to indicate the wishes of the peoplev it wilT be like a bugle sounded by art rtW-acticed hand. If the Whig candidate srVadi! fee elected, or defeated, we shall have" Oct means of ascertaining upon what principle' the result was effected , and therefore it cannot be regarded as deciding any question. And1 where" is the benefit ? If the Whig is elected, lite" object of the Conventionists, will not thereby ber obtain ed; that question will depend upon" the" ac tion of the legislature But it is clear that withofrt union in the j Whig party a Whig Governor Cannot be e lected, and how can we expect emkn upon questions where there is such a-diersity of opinions, and which are regarded by many as involving principles of vital importance? No, brethren, let us go into the contest for Governor as Whigs, with an able and (ruw man for our leader; and leaving this convention question to the canvass for the Ijegislature, where it properly belongs, let as determine to make a united effort to restore our good old State to the position in the Whig ranks which she Ung sustairl' cd with so much credit. Defence of Liberia. The Ameri can Colonization Society, it is Baid, has voted the sum of $10000, should it be required, to aid in the defence of Liberia against the attacks of the savage tribes. The Society has also adopted measures to obtain additional arms and warlike resour ces. President Roberts is determined to punish the authors of the late outrage as the surest way to secure peace for the fu ture.

WHIG MEETING IN WILKES. The Whigs of Wilkes met in 'the Court House on the 3d inst. un motion ot 1. it. Carmichael, Esq., James Parks' was called to the chair, and on motion of Dr. James Calloway, W. W. Hampton and W.Mastio were appointed Secretaries. At the request of the chairman, L. B.'Car michael, Esq. explained the object of the meeting in his usual clear and forcible man nerr whereupon, the chairman, upon mo tion, appointed Charles A. Parks, Esq., A. M. Foster and Harden Spicer a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the views of the meeting. Which committee, after retiring a short time, reported, through C. A. Parks, Esq. the following preamble and resolutions: Whereab, The time and place have now been selected for holding the next Whig State Convention; and whereas, we consid er it important that all parts of the State should be represented; Therefore Resolved, That the Chairman of this meeting appoint twenty delegates to represent this county iri said Convention. Resolv ed, That in the person of JOHN KERR, we recognize an honorable citizen and enlightened statesman one who would fill the Gubernatorial chair with credit to himself and honor to the State. Resolved, That we approve of the com promise measures of the last Congress, and consider them a final settlement of the ex citing questions growing out of slavery. Kesolved, that we look upon the Ad ministration of Millard Fillmore as one, which, from its boldness and energy under all the difficulties of the times, and from its peculiar conservative and national charac ter, should give entire satisfaction, not only to his own party, but to the entire Union ; and that we are ready and anxious to yield him our hearty support in the campaign of 1852. Resolved, That we are pleased to see the increasing favour with which the name of Wm. A. Graham is regarded in connection with the next Vice Presidency, and we re commend him. to the Whigs of the Union as a Whig and a Statesman tried and found Worthy of his trust. Rf solved, That while it is inherent in the American character to sympathise with all efforts in favor of freedom wherever made, still we regard our loyalty to our otf ii instil tutiohs and to the policy and traditions of the founders of our liberty, as our paramount duty, and that ive believe the cause of free dom throughout the world will be better promoted by the permanent stability and in creasing grandeur of our great republic than by mingling ourselves with the policy, con flicts and wars of foreign Nations. After the reading of the Resolutions, C. A. Parks, Esq., in support of the resolu tions, addressed he meeting in a speech of some length, calling upon the Whigs of Wilkes to rally under the standard of the Whig party of the country and prepare for the political contest which is approaching. LAVhereUpon the vote of the meeting was ta- adopted.' . , In accordance with the first desolation, the chairman appointed the following delegates to represent the county of Wilkes in the State Convention, to.wit;-,Dr. C. L. Cook, Col. B. F. Petty, A. W. Finley, J. F. Fin ley, Dr. James Calloway, ,C. A. Parks, Esqv L. B. Carmichael, Esq.', Dr. A. 'A: Scroggs, A. M. Foster, J. V. Hortoii, C. J. Cobles, S. C. Wellborn, John Martin, L. J. Bickriel,' E. R. Walsh, Col. P. Ellery A. Rousseau, Elbert Jones, David Gay and Lindolph Par ker. On motion, the names of the Chairman and Secretaries were added to the list. Mr. E. ft. Walsh then offered the follow ing Resolutions,- which were unanimously adopted: Kesolved. That in the person of Ander son Mitchell, we recognize arl upright, able and faithful Whiff Statesman. Resolved, Tlrat in the approaching high ly important Session of oiir Legislature, he is the choice without hesitation of the Whigs of Wilkes to represent this Senatorial Dis trict, and that we recommend Ins name to the other Whigs cf the District,- belref ing that they will cheerfully unite with us in our choice Irish exiles mr. badger. In the Senate, on Wednesday, theilth, Mr. Badger replied to the remarks of Mr Seward, on the resolution asking the Brit ish Government to pardon O'Brien and others exiled for treason. Mr. Badger take the right ground in our judgment ; we cannot see what our Government has to do with criminals under foieign laws; and we are snrprised that the Senate of the United States should tolerate discussion in favor of any such meddHng interference. Mr. Badger said that he could not per suade himself that Congress ought to pass this resolution in any one of the forms pro posed, or in any form in which it could be placed. If any thing could have induced him to vote for it, the speech delivered on Saturday by the Senator from lilihoi3, would have' had that effect. No matter what his feelings for other people and races of thefWOFld were, he'ltttist prefer his own people and his own country toe all others. This proposition, was, that the United Stales intercede that the Btitish Queen would extend her clemency and pardon these gentlemen. He did not think it safe or prudent for the United States to set any such precedent. . The Senator from Michigan, had sug gested some reasons why nothing was to be feared fiom the establishment of such a precedent. The reasons given by the Sen ator were not well founded. That Senator had also taken the posi tion that political oflicrs were no longer considered as embracing moral turpitude He referred to another part of the Senator's speech wherein it . was said that this was not interference. Mr. B. held that the passage of this resolution was interference Intercession was interference, not offensive. He who intercedes between a soverign and his subject, who has been convicted of a crime, does interfere. Interference, however, was not always intercession. He could conceive of cases where political of fences were not attended with any moral guilt, but did, not .: adniiti.ikus . general principle. - The Senator thinks, and doubt less was correct, that these parties were men whose offence was not stained with any moral guilt, and therefore he intercedes for them. But does the British govern ment think in the same manner of their offence? They have bceTi convicted of treason, of an attempt to overthrow the government of Great Britain and Ireland. Now, the government of Great Britain who has prosecuted these men, aud convicted them of this offence, if she considered that offence in no way stained with moral tur pitude would as' readily have pardoned 'diem as to have commuted their punish ment. The British government did not consider their offence altogether free from moral guilt. He came from a part of the country em inently conservative, and, being removed from the immediate causes of excitement, the people there generally locked ahead to see what consequences would follow to morrow from what was done to-day. Mr. B. then supposed the case of the conviction of any of those engaged in the Christiana affair of treason against the United States would not that conviction present a case for the sympathizers abroad to present to our clemency as one involv ing no moral turpitude but, on the con trary, the display of the highest, philanthro py for the oppressed and persecuted way farer from bondage, &c? It had struck him that this species of in terference, thus commenced by the Uuiied States, would place the country in an awk ward position towards those uuioiol' who might, hereafter', demand our clemency. -He did not believe that any 'legislature. in Great Britain would interfere in any case where they did not think the party worthy of it. We think so in thi3 case ; - but-who cari say what case they would not thmk equally deserving of it here. He was for doing to others as he wished others to do unto him. He would be sorry if Great Britain should set these persons free because tf the intercession of the United States. It would place us under an obligation to her,vhich would give her a precedent, and a claim upon us to solicit similar favors from us. He preferred to be under no favor or ob ligation to Great Britain, or any other pow er, which would give to her the pretext of interfering in any domestic affairs of ours. DEMOCRACY AND SECESSION. We commend the following from the Georgia Journal and JUessenger to the Se cession Democratic presses of Noith Caro lina who are now deferring to the Baltimore Convention, and endeavoring to get them sulves and the Coffin regiment to which they belong, on the old rotten platform of '44 and 4S. The Journal, if we rightly 're member, is disposed to. approve of the said Convention, but decls a series of heavy blows at those who recently advocated disunion, but noV appear as the prime reorganizers of the pure Democracy.-. It recalls four facts: "1. Only a few" months since, like Saul of Tardus, they were goirig about breathing slaughter against the Northern Democracy. Some of them were so fierce in their denun ciations of the "eieese-eating, oniori-sTKeliing Yankees" that they actually forgot that there Was a slight admixture of onion juice in their own veins; now, however, these same gen tlemen declare the breezes from We.athers fiejd to be as sweet as the soft winds' from "Afaby the blest;" they manifest a w'on!er ful relish not only for . heese arid onions, but everi for the cabbages of Kindcrhook boiled, as they are, in the slimy end putrid waters of FreesoilismV , , "2. A few months ince these disunion ists approved of the Nashville resolution, disbanding the oftf parties, and pledging the South not to co-operate with any national party in a Presidential campaign jntil her rights, as set forth by that convention, were fully : recognised. Now, however, these same disunionists, without recanting a sin gle' principle, and without having obtained the recognition of their rights as claimed, are trying to steal into the Baltimore Con vention, and control its deliberations. "3. A few months since these same men met in conclave in Milledgevilie, passed resolutions, and adopted a report Rffirminsr that if the 'National Democracy would open ly, boldly, and unequivocally, in convention, recognise the finalify of the Compromise, and insist upon a faithful execution of the Fugi tive Slave Law, Sec, interest, prudence, and patriotism' all suggest the wisdom cf our uniting with them in the Presidential elec-. tion, &c. Now, these' same persons in pri vate circ'es.nfid openly, through their news papers, are-declaring that the pledge which they themselves demanded is Useless,- end that. the Baltimore Convention cannot and will not give it. "4. A few months since these men con tended that the Union was a mockery that the South was oppressed and down-trodden that her only redress was to be found in the old Federal Hartford Convention doc trine of secession that they hated the Union and intended to war against it. Now these same men pretend that they are the Nation al Democracythe only true Democracy and that it is sheer impudence in Union men who are occupying the old Jeffersonian and Jacksonian platforms, to pretend to send delegates to the Baltimore Convention." THE CHRISTIANA TRIALS. The report of the Attorney General Eren't of Maryland, does not present in a favora ble light the conduct pursued by the judge and others ill the Christiana trials; and, from the statement of Mr. Brent, we should infer that there is little chance of having justice administered in Pennsylvania,in the case of the owner of a slave being killed in the ef fort to recover hi3 property. The whole of the persons concern?.! in the murder of Mr. Gorsuch, of Baltimore coni.tyharc escaped punishment, and there is nt prospect that any of them will ever be t rought to justice. . A large portion of the report consists in a legal argument in opposition to the ruling of the Court m relation to what constituted treason. But the following paragraph shows that two principal witnesses were designed ly permitted to escape, whilst a third was inditced to perjure himself. It also exhibits; the disgusting spectacle of white females as sociating with and encouraging the "negro men charged with murder. j "In this connexion I will also state that a few weeks before the trial, Peter Wash ington and John Clark, two important wit nesses for the prosecution, escaped from prisoji without breaking a lock or using ary force, as proved on the trial by a witness ; and though I cheerfully acquit the marshal of all privity with their escape, yet tha fact remains'that there was treachery on the part of some officer within the walls of the pri son. Another remarkable, fact was the cor ruption of a Government'- witness, named Harvey Stott, a free negro, who had thrice testified once at Christians, once et Lan caster, and once "at -'Philadelphia to the fact of being an eyewitness to the -murder of Mr. Gorsnch; and now, on this t ial, in fluenced f.y bribes or some other corrupt consideration, when p!:ic'd cn the stand by the United States, openly confasse'd that he had thrice committed perjury, and then sw ore r-n his trial thit ho' was.not prest,aiid knsvv nothing cbout the -affair which perjury was received with open piause la he court- room. "... "A'ain; the counsel for the defence ap pned to the Court for p.n order to brin j out some twenty-four of the. negroes, to see which of them cou' J be identified as. participator's-' in the treason, by Ilenn II. Kline, a material witness for the prosecution. At the opening of the Court on the next day, these 'negroes were seen ..sitting - in a row, supported on each side by white femiles, who, to the disgust of all respectable citi zens, gave them np'-n sympathy and 'coun tenance;' each of the negroes appeared with new comforts around their necks, their hair carefully parted, and their clothing in e very respect alike, so as to present one uni form appearance ta the eye, as far as pos sible all done doubtless, for the sole pur pose of giving "aid find comfort" to the ac cused murderers of a white man, 'and of con fusing and perplexing so important a wit ness as Kline in respect to their identity. And this was manifestly done with the pri vitysufTerance, and consent of the oSce'rs having charge of the. prisoner?, end passed unrebuked." - It also appears that the matshal not only summoned confirmed abolitionists as jurors, but dined with the accused "parties on thanks giving day.-' How can justice be expected, where judge, marshr-l and jury are thus op posed to the -impartial administration of the law? It would seern. from the result of this trial, that negroes ynay commit murder with impunity in. particular sections of Pennsyl vania, provided the murdered -individual be. a slaveholder, or be in pursuit of a luiac slave. (Baltimore Clipper.) THE PUBLIC LANDS. : Our readers ftnow that Mr. Underwood has proposed a bill to distribute a portion of the Public Lands among the States; ench to have the number of acres of its fedei d pop ulation. According to Mr. Underwood'.-; figures, there hate been already granted to the States of course the new States for educational and public improvement pur poses, 19,674,418 acres of the public lands. This is equivalent to 30,057 square miles. Excluding Maine, the five "..remaining ';New Ehghirtd States embrace, together, a terri tory of only 31,275 square miles; being but 5S8 miles larger than the: aggregate cf the lands granted to the new States. Now, without going any further into the subject, we may well ask, and ask again and again, of the people of the old States,wheth- er this does not disclose a condition of things of particular interest to them, and to their, children coining after them r Cnu!d they not profit by the national domain, if al lowed their share of it, as well and as wisely as their friends of the border States? Have they fto educational and public improve ment purposes that might be furthered by similar aid? The Western States are filling up with a population of adopted citizens from all parts cf the world, who are entitled to every favor; but are they entitled to more and greater favors th'an those accorded to ourselves of the older States, the children and grand-children of the men- who made the republic, and bought or conquered the vast and prolific regions which are now be ing so rapidly given away ? What are the Representatives aud Senators of the old Thirteen doin? Is Mr. Underwood to be left to fight this battle of right and justice in Congress alone ? We trust his example will induce them to shake off their indiffer ence and lethargy. Their constituents ex pect of thern not to neglect their interests or forget their claims. They should unite in a body to alter the prevailing system of land grants, establishing a policy which will be equally just and advantageous to all the States, old and new. - If there be President making in the matter, let it be remembered that there are votes to'be cast on both sides of the mountains; and that he is likely to be most popular who has proved an equal friendship to the people of the whole coun try, .'" ;.'. - '.':.'- . -"-'; . ' V.'.i. :;:-;: FRENCH CONSTITUTION. This document is not worth publishing in full. 1. We give the following abstract of it from an English paper. The French have proved themselves incapable--of self government; and we incline to the opinion that, bad a3 their Constitution is, it is rather better than they deserve: "The Presidont fa to preserve his pres ent title and office for ten years: he is res ponsible before the people, tn whom he can always appeui. tie commands tne land and sea forces. He alone has the initiative of the laws; ho has the right to declare the state of siege infering it to the Senate. He presents one message every year. No ac cusation can be brought against ministers bi't by the Senate. They are only res ponsible for their respective duties. The functionaries take the oath of obedience to the constitution und fidelity to theP resident. In case of the death of the President, the Senate calls upon the nation for a new e leclion. The President has the right, by a secret deed deposited with the Senate, to designate to the people the citizen whom he recommends to the suffrage until the e lection of a new president.

Salmon Fisiii sg. A lYlarysville (Cal ifornia) paper gives the following account of the manner in which the Indians catch Salinon ;:."-.;.'.."; -. Yc .witnessed a new and exciting kind of sport yesterday morning. Salmon of huge dimensions, and in great numbers, accompanied by thousands of smaller fry, were then struggling over the shoals in the river opposite our city. -Thither the Indi ans' -promptly repaired with their spears, where they at once commenced an indis criminate slaughter. They were captured in large numbers, and in the following manner: A small barbed spear is attach ed to a straight pole some twelve or fifteen feet in length. On the fish being wound ed its struggles immediately detach the spear from the pole, but they ate made fast together by a strong cord, some eigh teen, inches in length, by the aid of which they are safely towed to the shore. The taking and securing was performed by the Indians with great skill and dexterity, and excited the curiosity "ofhundrerls who were watching their operations from the river bank." .;;:-." --. .; ' STANLY AND GIDDINGS. Jn the House of Representatives onWed nesday , Feb. 11, up -n the presentation of resolutions from New Jersey, approving the Compromise measures, Giddinjfs took occasion to lecture the House for idling a way the public time heretofore, and now discussing questions which ought to have been done months ago. ; He objected to this mode of arguing questions in Legisla tures, and sending . the recuit here while the hps of (he Representatives of the peo ple in this Hall are closed. Would to God representatives would sustain the constitu tion ; and in saying this he could be un derstood. This Congress has nothing to do with slavery in the States ; every at tempt to involve the North in it is now, ever has been, and will be a violation of their rights. Hands of- non-intervention' keep your slavery to yourselves," is the motto of every Northern man. It is your business and institution ; and whatever curse or iniquity or glory there is in it be longs to the -'South" and not to the North. In the sight of heaven, the people of the North will resist the attempt to involve them in the iniquities of the slave trade. You might as well attempt to lead Deity frrmhis throne.and trample on the princi- j pies or eternal truth before tha can bo done. ... Tie had in rising, only intended to enter his protest against the manner of interfer ing hers on this questiou, except on the side of freedom ; and complained that while the '.representatives" of the North are com pel' ecT to remain here silent, the people in the States trgue this question in their Leg islatures for us, end spread the result of their action before the people. : "If. -'Stanly, replied to Mr. GidJings, in remarks as severe a3 any we ever rscolJect to tiave seen reported. . lie exposed his conduct in the most fearless manner, and poured upon him denunciations for the im pudent; factious and incendiary course he invariably pursues. From the condensed report we .find m tn llezvoi:c sent 'the' following extracts : we pre- i'ir. otari'vv i he gen Icmaa hns given us some advice as to how we may. improve our stafesmanship.

He got up here to-day,, on a mo tion to print the resolutions of the Legisla ture of ?iew Jersey, and delivered his views on slavery and the slave trade ; tl:us interrupting the whole order of b ashless. This question was interrupted by whom? By. the runaway member, who goes home to secure his'-, own.' election,, and leave, for his part , th'e public business to take care of itself. He says that the subject of his din ner is the greatest one which I ever discus sed. I have discussed one smaller, and that is the subject of the honorable '.mem ber, "himself. Laughter. And this has been forced upon me by-.' hla own insolent conduct in the House. As he has thought proper to refer to an Internal Improvement bill, every member of the last House will bear 'ai6 out in the assertion that he did more than any strict constructionist, in this body to defeat it. His support is death to any measure. He makes a bill odius. Air. Stanly. The gentleman from Ohio says that it i3 small business to say any! thing about him'. I plsca gui.ty to tr.e ac- cusation. it is not ouly a small business, but the business of a scavenger to have any thing to do with him ; and would become necessary to wash the hands after having had bold of him. But he thrusts himself up on us as a kind cf censor. It is a small bu siness for me, and I don't know how 1" can descend any lower than by taking to task the honorable member from Ohio. A voice: Good.'.' Not good; it is a very bad task; but I must do it. I repeat, that whatever he ad vocates he renders odious. He refers to my coarse on the California bill; and makes a reckless assertion when he says that I am responsible for the seven months' delay on that measure. , If there is one subject of all others on whiah I am impregnable, it is on this. I tried to get a vote on tha California bill by offering a resolution to close the debate, and to get it passed at an earlier time., than, the gentlemen did. If any mercher h exempt from the charge, I am the man. And where-was thegentleman for a whof! week early at ths commencement of thi". f?essiou?
