' " '-.,; , ..-' '.''",,' We must confess, however, if the Whig Convention shall pass this matter over, ' and the, Yifhig 'candidate shall take the . stump, euunciating no meics and express- in? noopinions on. Free -Sum-age; or refu sing' to exhibit his views' and opinions to an agitated and inquiring people; we shall . expect hisvdefeat by .at least ten thousand ', voles a defeat which will bury the Whig v parly forever in North Carolina , YVe believe that our Whig brethren of the press, who discuss tnis question, are actuated by a sincere desire to promote the harmony and success of the parly, as well as by a wish to do right. We still believe some common grcmd on this subject may be adopted, on which the Whigs of the State can stand ; and we are for any coin promise which may be proposed, having that end in view. But we were not pre pared for a proposition to slur this great question of State policy over, to evade it .by any. means, to assume "positions on which we have heretofore been defeated.as against popular rights, or, wi;hout con cert of understanding, to leave our candj date to his own devices concerning it. It would be saying to a large portion of our . Whig brethren, "Wc fere eorry ycrti feel and think as you do about this State ques tion ; but the Governor has nothing to d6 with it in the canvass ; we nominated him Reform" in order to reconcile conflicting opinions " FREE SUFFRAGE, fcc. The Democratic Pioneer, of Elizabeth City contains an article upon this subject; as connected with the approaching cam paign, in which the Editor , not conterit with gratulating the Eastern Locofocos up on the incipient success of this measure; to which nearly all of them contributed, hhdertakes also to chalk out a course for the Easterii Whigs ; and with a disingen faoushess (too common we think with that press,) calculated to deceive, harrows down the discussion to a single point, and dius adroitly begs the question : 'Between the alternatives of Free Suf frage by legislative amendment,- and an ' 6peh Convention, Eastern men cannot ". hesitate "which of the two to chose.l'. It was upon this very point that our Senator in the last Legislature, who was opposed to Free Suffrage in the outset, determined " finally to overcome his scruples against the measure and cast his vote for it rather than . encounter the dangers of an open Con vention, which was threatened." As it is no part of our wish to provoke a controversy with the Pioneer, we have Tkii Mvicolu rioocorl Ktr tliA irraalar TvililAn ff - put j. vs-e-ij- piioovu J gitUiti jvnuvii wt. its ai ticle j only making a remark or two upon the passage we have quoted. If there vere only one amendment proposed to the (constitution, vre are free to confess there tyould be no need of a convention of the people to make it-wmil that would be the l.ase contemplated by the framers of the constitution when the clause giving the . power of amendment by bill to the Leg islature was inserted in that instrument. But the party to. which the Pioneer be longs, in the last Legislature proposed four Amendments, Free Suffrage, election of Judges, election cf Magistrates, and that famous limit of Judge Saunters upon ap propriations or public works all of which rt is desired to incorporate into the consti tution by Legislative enactment : and sev eral othcT.amendrnents were offered by oth- crs So that, instead of "the alternatives of Free Suffrage and an or onven- ' lion," the -people; of the ' State have tc choose between the precedent cf a long line of Legislative amendments, and a Convention to revise the entire fundamen tal law, and make all the amendments which may be necessary. It is useless for the EditoT of the Pion . eer to attempt any excuse for this false view of the subject which he has presented. ""Our Senator in the last Legislature," whose apologist he seems to be, acted un ion wider and broader grounds. He is too much of a statesman, lo content himself with standing upon so contracted a point, and opposing a Convention upon unfair reasoning or illusory representation. He had 'the most supreme contempt for the flimsy patchwork presented to him in the Free Suffrage bill, and he opposed it; declaring tnat the only proper mode of a meodtng the constitution was by a Con vention of the people When frightened from hiss ptopriety, however, by the rapid increase of the fijends of a Convention in die Legislature, he did assist in galvamz ing'thal dead corpse, free suffrage, an5 Ilia was one of the votes which assisted in pas sing it through the Senate. But Jus course was accompanied by no violation of AiitK to his political friends f. and, as we believe he is opposed to amendment of any chinri acter in any mede, ' . It was times irviug, l is true ;: his sec tion will probably sustain him ; and' we have no right to censure him. His hope was that the people would refuse to-sanction it when submitted to them. Once more In the article befdra-us,-the Pioneer claims iheFree Suffrage bill as tiparty triumph ; andShe "Democrat ic idea of Legislative amendment"' is com mended ' above the Republican mode of altering the constitution by a Convention of the people. " Thi3 is the worst feature in this business lh& avowal of party tin kering for vajtirsucesssi - Yet if it were lo end with one amendment-, the people-j might 6wallow Uj. would probably care little about it : humiliating" as it is to have the -w - 3 " 4 t constitution dragged upin the polluted ar- j ena of a mere struggle for office. But with the prospect of having it thus degrad ed for all time to come at each succeed in? canvass to sink deeper and deeper info pollution every true friend of Republican government every true lover of the con stitutionshould unite to wret it from such unholy hands, and commit it to the only safe depository, a free convention, rep resenting the sovereign will of a free peo ple. ! df$ The Warrenion jVtus puts to us a -number of questions, most of which refer to the future: "We would ask the Times- Have the Whigs asrn el to have a national conven tion ? Has the time been agreed on ? Where is the place Have po a gdodly number of the Whig presses kicked up at the idea of a convention?. If there bt- a con ventim does not Gen. Scott stand, r better chance for the nomination than IV.r. Fill more? Does liot.Jiirfrriy Joh.es's torch shine Mr. Graham's into total darkness ?" Certainly, the Editor, is entitled to the courtesy of a reply We understand a Na tional Convention is agreed on; and arrangi inents are now .making for the time and place; they Grill be announced in good time. The DeWocratic candidates not beifjg yet in the fiel.d, there is ho occasion, for hurry -Some Whig presses, think we have no need of a Convention at the present time; but in dividual opinion in this respept will no doubt give way to the general -JHsh of the party. General" Scott may be the nominee, we judge as much by the tremor of the Democ racy at the bare mention of his name, as by anything ejse,3n. which case he will be elected. W,e do not see " Jimmy Jones's torch' shih.e Mr Graham's into almost total darkness:" . Finally, we do not claim to be a prophet, and cannot predict future events. For can didates, we always rely upon, the usages and deliberations of the party to which: we be long. have never, (that we recollect) per sonally, nominated any man for office, in our paper and regard measures of far more consequence than men. If the Neibs has any more questions to ask, vve beg they m'ay not be thrown at a period more than two or three months ahead; the chance will be better for a satisfactory reply. . . Exchange.' We would like. to receive the Salisbury Watchman. We miss from our table, also, the Peters burg Intelligencer. DEMOCRATIC ASPIRANTS. The New York Tribune notices the pros pects of the Baltimore aspirants; and having summarily (as we think properly) disposed of Lane, Wool, Dickinson, Buchanan and Houston, goes on to say: "Gen. Butler has a chance in the final struggle, presuming that Gov. Marcy shall meantime be dropped, but his prospect is not a flattering one. Unless, then, some new element shall be foisted into the Balti m re cauldn.n, we anticipate that the main struggle will probably be between the friends of Gen. Cass and Judge Douglass respective ly. Gen. Cass will go into the Convention with a decided plurality of the votes, but not enough to nominate him under the Two Third Rule which has become a part of the Baltimore Platform. We apprehend that Gen. Cass's vote will not much increase af ter the first ballot, while that of "the Little Giant" will do so. Whether the latter will or will not be nominated, we do not predict; but his chance seems now equal lo that of any. rival, though he will only have some fif ty or sixty votes 0:1 the first ballot." North Carolina has 28 Cotton Facto ries in operation, with a capital of $10-,03S,-'8S0,emy!oying 442 males and 1,117 females at an average of aires of $11,60 per month for the former, and $'3,13 for the latter. The value of their entire product is estima ted at $$31,342. - DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. The Warrenton News reiterates its be lief that Mr. Buchanan "stands as fair a chance as another for the nomination by the Democratic Convention, which belief it increases to a probability before the close of its article. Notwithstanding the asser tion that "we keep our eye skinned, catch ing a glimpse of things occasionally," our fear is that the Editor tJoe3 not see fast e nough. We therefore invite his attention to the Democratic Review of February where the claims of the Democratic aspir ants are considered at length, and Mr. Buchanan, among other, summarily dis posed of. while Senator Douglass is em phatically endorsed. We quote for the in formation of the News: "To recapitulate? The Democratic nom inee for '53 must, therefore, not be tram meled with ideas belonging to an anterior era, or a man of merely local fame and local affections; but & statesman who can bring young blood, yovvg idea9, and young hearts to the councils of the Repu$ie: Your mer general; whether he car write on his cord -the battle-fields of ;Mexico,.or more heroically boast of his prowess ; in a militia review? your mere lawyer, trained in th'e qwiddities of the court, "but without apolitical idea-beyond a local election; your .mere wire-puller and 'judicious bot-tle-hbldor preeminent now on "Ate' sole ground that hie; once played second, fiddle to belter men,' and who cozens himself in his corner wlv the idea that he raj split votes- with abolition and sectional Tac tions he has intrigued wkh'; ami, above all yowlieaitin horse, whether lie retw for - a previous Presidential cup as first or sec ond, or owjerac. all on lhe ticket none of these will dar T1iv Democratic partyv expects from the Baltimore tonvenUoo new man, a statesman of soimd Democrat ic pluck, and world wide ideas o use it on; a Slate Rights man, who can show hfecds clean of the stain-of 'faction j a frectrade man, who will break-down.-the tariffs of every ro'len monarchy under heavenand open to the industry apd" commerce of the United States the trade and- exchanges ef the world; a man of large soul and open heart, who will maintain in the teeth oftlie despots of tt iirope. the Democratic doc- - J. irincsvpon which his popularity and suc- cess are based here; a bold man wh6 tan stand the brunt of foreign war, and main tain, by the vigor and reach of his coun sels, the honor of our flag, whether on the land or the sea: and vet a man astute and wise as Cato, who can bv the use of for - eign material save our shores from attack, and crush the despots of the world in their vervdens: a man fried m the contests of I Iawrand yet more ihah a lawyer; a man who has theoretic learning sufficient . to get rid of the entanglements which now sur round our diplomatic code-and-.the mon archic law cf nations which has been for ced iipci upon' us; and withal, a practical statesman,, not to be discomfited in argu ment, of led wild by theory; hut one who has.ulready, in the councils anil tribunals of he. nation, reared his front, to the dis may of the shallow 'conservative,' to the exposure of the. humanitarian incendiary, and the disconifltureLof the antiquated rhe torician.. Let. the Baltimore Convention give to this, the young generation of Amer ica, a candidate, and we are content; but if it, fail to do so, its members can return totfieir respective homes, peisonally proud and elated, and congratulate their constit uents that 'each of them has played well and successfully his part in ruining ihe hopes of the Democratic party of America and of mankind, during four years or more, for the valorous behoof or personal com fort of General Button and others; and let them assure themselves at the same time for doing so, of the hearty disgusi arid not improbably honest curses of nine-tenths of the American, people, and of every repub lican in the old world or the new.

It is '"believed that the nomination of Douglass will be very acceptable to the Standard and t he leading Democrats here. The Richmond' Examiner, fights for him as the only candidate fit to be "the future helmsman of the nation." For the fur ther benefit of the News, we give a few sentences, if it will mark their deep and bitter significance: . "Stephen A. Douglass is the adopted son of Illinois. He entered that State as a journeyman carpenter, and at twenty six years of age he sat a judge upon the bench of the Supreme court. He is no relic of the past no fossil re main of a byTgone time no past defeat casts its ominous shadow in his path. Hope and youth blaze before him; success sits like a halo on his brow.- He has al ready passed every contemporary competi tor, yet all may see that the history of this man is still a future. His political con nexions are yet lo be formed. He is the new man in the field. He belongs to no clique of old fogies in Virginia or any where else. . His Democracy is the 'chrysolite, with out flaw; in his political career there has been no variance nor shadow of turning. A resident fa free Slate, he is yet a Southern planter. for the Senator from Illinois is the master of an estate and of slaves in Noiih Carolina. ' He stood by the South in every trying scene and on every, test 'question.' In every interest he is irrevocably identified with us; and when the uproar" over the Fugitive Slave law convulsed the North, he was the; first man in a free State who had the courage to stand in the midst and denounce its en emies as the enemies of the Constitution and of the country's weal. He never gave a vole which the straitest southern Democrat could wish to blot, .He is the true type of this powerful and growing new country; and its heart yill recognise its perfect representative. Sprung directly from the people, without the most remote aids 'of ' birth or fortune, educated bv his own thirst for knowledge, he support ed himself from inftincy by hu dail labor; pnd baltjjng alone against 1 He world, he has risen with the gheer" i force of a superb intellect aptl unuaunteu neart, step ny step, until he now1 stands acknowledged and -respect edas trie -chief champion of the Dem oeratic1 party." SPEECH OF GENERAL SCOTT, At the Congressional banquet in Wash insrton City, in honr of the birth-day of Washington, the following- toast was drank : "The Army of the United States-may it ever be actuated by the principles of him who was first in war, first in' peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. ."

He had participated in celebrating . it in the principal capital of Europe, and it fell to his lot to be with, .the army to celebrate it in tne capital of Mexico. After the cele- ibration, morethan half of the officers met in his room on that day, one hundred and sixteen vears before which a roari "child was born into the-world j whose virtues and deeds will never be'firgotten by any body, Genernl Sn was. frequently applauded and concluded with the following tonet: "The memory?of Washington.

The leading fea tures are as follows: A reduction of the courts and borough franchise. In Ireland the county representation is unaltered, but that of the boroughs reduced. v The estab lishment of a new class of voters, consisting of those who pay 40s. of the direct Uvxes. The abolishment of the oath of suprema cy as repugnant to Roman Catholics and Dissenters, and the substitution of a form of oath for Jews and others, which is but a simple oath of allegiance to the Throne. Lord John's speech was followed by an animated debate. The omission of the vote by ballot in the bill was complaihed of by Hume, Berkeley and other members. Leave was granted to Shannon to bring in a bill to establish a tenant right m Ireland. The expulsion of certain missionaries of the Free church of Scotland, by the Aus trian Consul at Trieste, was referred to and the inquiry made whether steps had been taken to procure satisfaction for this gross violation of international Jaw. Lord John Russell said he was unprepared to answer. The news from France presents no new feature. The Government had put forth a most indiscreet and intemperate article in La Patria, telling the electors they must re turn Bonap3 rusts to the assembly or the elections will be void. The Legitimists will not come forward. Commercial reports from France are un favorable. Madame Pauline Toland a disciple of M. Pierre Leroux, and sixty journeymen printers, had been arrested.
