- TALK RIGHT. " ,; The Warrentoii News commits a mis take or two, and will be grateful to us, no doubt, for correction. In one article last week, it uses this language: "Some Whig Editors have had the hardihood to say the mode adopted for changing this feature of the' constitution is unconstitutional, anti republican, and all that," &c. We say that the Legislative mode of a mendments to the constitution is anti-republican. Produce the Whig Editor who says it is' unconstitutional ; and we can convince him of his mistake. In another article, referring to the Times the same paper says "We understood it to be a sine qua non wyh the Western Whigs Unit their candidate should be for an open Convention we thought they had resolved once that they would support no other than such a one." The following are the resolutions to which reference is no doubt made. We shall be pleased to see the Editor's inter pretation of their true meaning ; as we Iiave heetofore intimated our willingness to stand upon them Resolved, That we regard the proposed Amendment of our State Constitution by Legislat ive enact meat, in a single particu lar, as calculated to deceive the people by offering the shadow, while it withholds the . substantial relief required. "Resolved, That we regard an unre stricted convention of the people as theon ly proper mode of amending the constitu tion,and will not therefore support for the office of Governor, any man who shall ad vocate the former, instead of the latter mode of amendment." Stephen A. Douglas, or as he is sometimes called "the Artful Dodger "is regarded as a prominent candidate for the Presidency; and is no doubt the first choice of many of the democrats of North Caro lina: It is well known that he failed to vote for the fugitive slave bill ; and Mr. Richardson, of III. accounted for it in the House, by stating that he was prevented from being present by sickness. About a fortnight afterwards, Mr. Douglas declared in the Senate, that he was detained in New York by business, and could not reach Washington city in time to vote up on it. Which is the true reason? The Republic has called upon Mr. -Richardson to explain but, we believe, he has not yet found it convenient to do so. Did he dodge or did he not ? Which account is the true one ? RAILROAD TERMINUS. . We hope and trust this vexed question will be put at rest by the following resolu tions adopted by the Bouid of Ditectors at "a meeting in Lexington, April 1st, namely: Whereas, It is the honest purpose of this Board to have the Eastern termiuus of the North Carolina Rail Road located in conformity to the requisitions of the Char ter. Resolved, That the President of this Board be required to take the best legal advice, and in case he shall be advised that the present location is not in compliance with that part of the charter which directs the road "te extend from the Wilmington and Raleigh railroad, where the same pas ses over Neuse liiver, in the county of Wayne, via, &c. to Charlotte," that he cause the Road to be extended to the pre- . j j I U - .. - CISe point aesigUttieu III emu vuoiia. Resolved, further , That the construction of the track to Waynesborough be suspen ded until this question is satisfactorily set- tied, and until me iuitner oraer oi m Board. Extract of a letter from a Western flnend to the Editor, dated April 2d, 1852. "I regret to see that our Eastern friends are so wofully in the fog they have be come alarmed at a shadow they seem neither to know our views or our situation. If a Convention is called they need never fear the mixed basis in the Senate. The West is not radical ; and are Hiot support ing, or rather demanding, an open Con vention from choice, so much as from ne cessity, especially in this quarter. Our JJstern friends seem to forget this fact en tity. When Manly came out against free sufihige, the West supported him. Wjiea 4xe cajpoe out the second time for leaving the question to the people, the West supported tiim: Now, we cannot go back vote for free suffrage alone. By standing up for our nominee, we have i . i j j . ,u : jiosi several couuuts, uuu uta eucugui u (the State. Is it good policy to cany this jany farther ? that is the question, AH the intelligent portion of our paity ia the West say it js not -; and they are determined not to fritter away thedr strength by pursuing such a course. We have been acting ou. the defensive long enough: let us now be gin to charge on the enemy : if we do not, we shall be inevitably ruined. I repeat that we are compelled to go for a Conven tion in the West, or we, as a party, are disbanded. If our Eastern friends will reflect upon our situation, they will find that we are not as radical as they suppose. "What will Guilford, Orange, Alamance, Chatham, Rockingham, Richmond, An ion, Rowan, Davidson, Cabarrus, Meck lenburg, Caswell and many others, gain from a change in the basis now, or at far thest in a few years after the Road ia com pleted? Wep gaining here in federal numbers every day. ' Masoxic. -The next Annual meeting of the Grand itoyai Arch .Ghaer of'orth Carolina will be held in VViimiogtoa on Monday, the 7th day of June next. 12 Extract of a. letter from a friend in an Eastern county, dated 'March 29, 1852. "The Times is doing its proper work in this county. Your subscription list will lengthen here. It is a mistake to suppose that even one half of the people of the Eastern section of North Carolina are bp posed to a Convention. . A; few'Iandhold ers here, who have more swamp and woods than common sense' or patriotism, oppose it ; but the people will, vote for it by a large majority in ".this county. " T will sup port no man for Governor who either op poses a Convention, or conceals his views from the voters of the State. Let us have a fair and honest fight, or Reid will be e lected by 10,000 majority ; and I shall not care if such is the case if the Whig nominee shall fail to disclose his position upon this great question." Another gentleman in the East, writing to us on business, says "I approve of your course on the Convention question ; and the East as a matter of policy, ought to go for a Convention, for now they may make other alterations, perhaps, without chang ing the present basis.'.' THE FUGITIVE SURRENDERED. The rights of the South and spirit of the Constitution have been duly vindicated in New York, in the case of Horace Preston, the alleged fugitive slave of Wm. Reese, of Baltimore, the U. S. Commissioner (Geo. W. Morton Esq.) having on Satur day morning decided that the slave be giv en up to his master, which was immedi ately done, on the strong verbal evidence which had been adduced, showing that he has long occupied the relation of slave to the claimant the commissioner holding, therefore, that it was not necessary to show any recorded document or deed in the case. The Express, of Saturday evening says: The slave was brought into court this morning in company with his wife, (who, by the way, is a white woman in appear ance.) Messrs. Culver & Jay, his coun sel, soon after entered the court room, which contained a number of white and colored persons, the friends of the claim ant and ullcged fugitive. By directions of the Commissioner the Deputy Marshal in attendance ordered all parties into this Dis trict Court. The Commissioner then proceeded to give his judgment. He said the slave was brought before the court under affidavits and papers fully sufficient to warrant his arrest. He was ably defended by three counsels, and the proceedings were under the act of 1850, which he recited. The Commissioner, in his decision after recapitulating the testimony of Wm. D. Reese, son of the claimant; showing that Preston had become the property of his father through a second marriage, and that they had worked together at brick ma king for two'years, when Preston disap peared from Baltimore on the 20ih Match IS47, thus stated his view of ttie testimo ny necessary to identify a slave under the fugitive act of 1850. It is a construction made in the proper spirit: "The main point contended for on the argument by counsel for the fugitive is, that no right to the services of Preston could be proved on this proceeding by any j other evidence than that" of a deed or other document, showing the right in question to have been acquired thereunder by the claimant William Reese. "This argument has not been sustained by the citation of any judicial authority. It is not shown to be indispensable under the laws of Maryland, nor is any such proof made essential by any provision of the acts of Congress, bearing upon this branch of the subject." Blackwood. We have received from Leonard Scott & Co., Publishers, 79 Ful ton st. N. Y. the March No. Reprint of Blackwood's Edinburgh, for terms of which, and the Reviews, see advertisement in anodier column. Blackwood is at this time unusually attractive from the serial works of Bulwer and of other distinguish ed writers, which grace its pages as origin al contributions, apiearing first in this Mag azine, both in the British and American Editions. By an arrangement with the British Publishers early sheets of iheMag azine are regularly forwarded to this coun try so as to enable the American Publish ers to issue their re-print before the original edition arrives. Buhver's Tale, "My Novel; or Varieties in English Life,' is continued ; also, "Struggles for Fame and Fortune;" which last, to us, is the more attractive of the two. Hon. Green Kendrick, the Whig nomi for Governor of Connecticut is a native of Mecklenburg countv in this State. Another Locomotive. We mentioned the other day the receipt by the Wilming ton & Raleigh Rail Road Company from the North, of a new Locomotive for the use of the Road: we learn that an additional one, of great power, a first class engine, has just been shipped by Norris & Bro., of Philadelphia, for a like destination. This looks as tho' the Road had some thing todo. Wil. Herald. f- 'My son, would you suppose that the Lord's Prayer could be engraved on a space no bigger than a half dime?" "Well yes, father' if a half dime is as large in everybody's eye as ia yours, I think there would he no difficulty in putting it on about four lims. Absence of Mind. Mr. Iralaeh, late minister of Muirhouse, near Dundee, was remarkable for his absence of mind, JLn his prayer one day he said, "O Lord! bless all ranks and degrees of pei sons, from the king on the dunghill to the beggar on the throne." - Then recollecting himself, lie added, "I mean from the beggar on the throne to the king on the dunghill."

At a meeting of the Whigs of Hender son county, held in the Court House in Henderson ville, on Monday the 22d of March 1852, CoL John Clayton was call ed to the Chair, and John W. Erwin re quested to act as Secretary. On taking the Chair, Col. Clayton explained in a brief manner the object of the meeting, when Col. John Baxter introduced and supported by a short address the following preamble and resolutions: In view of the important questions in volved in the pending elections, the Whigs of Henderson deem it a duty to co-operate with their brethren of the State, in select ing a Candidate for the office of Governor and fixing on a platform of principles con servative and just to all parts of the State; Thereiore be it Resolved, That the Chairman appoint ten delegates to represent the Whigs of this County in the Convention to be held at Raleigh on the 4th Monday in April next. Resolved, That we will support the nominee of said Convention, provided he comes recommended by honesty of pur pose, Qualifications equal to the office, de voted to the preservation of the Union of the blates, and opposed to the intervention of this Government ia the wars and do mestic affairs of other nations. Resolved that in the absence of all '' the delegates appointed to attend the Conven tion at Raleigh, we respectfully request his excellency, Charles Manly, to represent us in that Convention, and that a copy of the proceedings of this meeting, signed by the Chairman and Secretary, be forward ed to him by the Chairman. Resolved, That we concur in the recom mendation of the meetings held in Mc Dowell, Cleaveland, and Rutherford counties to hold a District Convention at some suitable time and place to appoint a delegate to a National Convention and a Presidential elector, and that the Chairman appoint ten delegates to represent us in said Convention. Resolved, That the administration of President Fillmore has commanded our confidence, and unqualified approbation and we earnestly recommend his nomina tion for the high end exalted office which he now fills, with so much honor to him self and usefulness to the Country. 4 .;' Resolved, That our distinguished States man and fellow citizen, Hon. William A. Graham, possesses qualifications equal to any office that can be conferred on him ; and if nominated for the office of Vice Pres ident, we will give him a cordial and zeal ous support. H. T. Farmer Esq., offered as an a mendnient the following resolution Resolved, That while we are willing to support the nominee of the Convention, yet we recommend as our first choice that able statesman and eloquent and chival i ous advocate of Whig principles, Gen. John G. Bynum of Rutherford, which was adopted, and the resolutions so amen ded were unanimously passed. Delegates were appointed , in pursuance of the above resolutions; and the meeting adjourned. MEETING IN CHOWAN . The Whig meeting was held at the Court House in Edenton on the 25th March . Delegates were appointed to the State and District Conventions. We subjoin the re solutions: - Whereas, It has been deemed expedi ent by the Whigs, to hold a Convention in Raleigh on the 26th of April next, and as it is particularly important, both to the success of the party, and the interests of North Carolina, that, there should be a full and fair representation from all sections of the State, therefore 1st. Resolved, That, as we sincerely de sire the complete triumph of the party, the object of the Whigs in thus conferring, meets with our hearty approbation, and, that the chairman of this meeting, appoint thirty delegates to represent the County of Chowan in that Convention. 2d. Resolved, That we wilt unanimous ly sustain with all possible zeal, whatever Conservative Whig,- the Convention may nominate, provided, he does not favor an open and unrestricted Convention of the people, and no new issues are forced on the party, . 3d. Resolved, That we regard the Con stitutional Reforms so earnestly desire, and warmly advocated in some portions of the State, as unjust in themselves dangerous in their consequences, and utterly at vari ance with all true principles of government; that a proper regard for our rights and inter ests, demands from us, an uncompromis ing opposition to these radical and destruc tive doctrines; and that, as we have fore warned their friends of the impending dan ger, ou them must fall the responsibility of that defeat which the contiuued agitation of these questions will bring on the party in the approaching canvass. 4th. Resolved, That, we also approve the purpose of holding a Convention in this town on Thursday, the 8th of April, for the purpose of appointing a Delegate to represent this District in the Whig Nation al Convention ; and that, ten delegates, be appointed by the Chair, to attend the same. 5th. Resolved, That we but express the general sentiment of the Whigs of this County, in declaring their unabated confi dence in the ability, integrity, and patriot ism of Millard Fillmore, and their willing ness to sustain him for re-election to that office, the duties of which, they believe, he has discharged with honor to himself, and fidelity to his country. 6th. Resolved, That it ia due to the South, that one of her citizens, should be placed on the Presidential ticket, and that we think the elevation of William A. Gra ham, to the Vice-Presidency would se cure to the country the services of a pure man, a distinguished patriot, and an able statesman. MEETING IN BEAUFORT. The Whig Meeting was held on the 16th ult.. and addressed by J. R. Stubbs and E. J. Wurren. Delegates were appoint ed in pursuance of resolutions adopted, to the Whig State Convention, and to the District Convention at Greenville. Also the following: That though it is our determination to j support with all our might, the nominee of the Whig State Convention for Governor, satisfied as we are that said Convention will nominate no one but a sound, -conservative Whig statesman, still we cannot forbear expressing our high admiration of the noble character of John Kerr, Esqr. , of Caswell, and the gratification his nomination for the office of Governor would afford us, and, we believe, the Whigs of the East generally. Resolved, That we regard the conduct of Gov. Reid in relation to the improvement of Tar river as provided foi by an act of the Legislature, as deserving the severest con demnation of the people of this section of the State. Resolved, That the faithful manner in which Millard Fillmore has discharged all the duties of .his high office amid the trying scenes in which he has been placed since he entered upon the Presidency of the United States, has endeared him to the hearts of the people, and we take this occasion to declare that he is our choice for President in the approaching election . Resoived , That time has shown the wisdom of the approval which the com promise measures received from the people of Beaufoit, in public meeting assembled immediately after the passage of these mea sures, at a lime when the faction of Seces sionists then strong and active, now in significant and almost defunct, were array ed against them. That we will support no man for any office who is not honestly in favor of maintaining the compromise invio late, and of regarding them as a final set tlement of the dangerous and exciting sub jects which they embraced. Resolved that the Whigs of Beaufoit will hold a county con vention on Tuesday of Superior court week iu May next, for the purpose of nominating candidates to repre sent the county in the next General Assem bly.; '. : :';; '' CONGRESSIONAL.

After an Executive session the Senate adjourned. In the House, a bill was reported, grant ing a portion of public lands for the pro motion of a railroad in Indiana, which called up Mr. Henn, one of its represen tatives i and while he was addressing the House, Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, inter posed, and attributed an undue opposition on the part of the members from Eastern States, to this description of internal im provement in the West ; which led to a scene of recrimination, which lasted for some time, and increased the confusion which commenced with the morning sit ting ; during which Mr. Tenable of N. C, called upon the Western members to state any instance in which so invidious a course had been pursued as with Mr. Henn, and Mr. Hall, of Missouri. Before any vote could be taken, however, the House re solved itself into a committee on the state of the Union, and again took up the Homestead bill, when Mr. Porter address ed the Houses He was followed by Mr. Cleaveland, democratic free soiler from Connecticut, who contended that the com promise was a Whig measure, originating with Henry Clay, and carried through by Mr. Webster and General Scott, the effect of which was to centralise the government J of the country, and upon which Mr. Fill more endeavored to engraft a new law of: treason.

Resolved, That we recognise the bind ing efficacy of the compromises of the Constitution,, and believe it to be the irite.i tion of the people generally, as we hereby declare it to be ours individually, to abide such compromises, and to sustain the laws necessary to carry them out the provision for the delivery of fugitive slaves, and' the act of the last Congress for that purpose, included and that we deprecate all further agitation of questions growing out of that provision, of the questions embraced in the acts of the last Congress known 'as the Compromise, a!id of questions generally connected with the institution -of slaveiv, as unnecessary, useless, and dangerous. The House refused to second the demand for the previous question. Mr. Hillyer of fered tho following amendment: Resolved, That the series of acts passed during the first session of the thirty-first Congress, known as the Compromises, are regarded as a final adjustment and a per manent settlement of the questions therein embraced, and should be maintained and executed as such.

Mr. Stanly refused to vote, and said that he would publish his reasons to his constit uents, without troubling the Honse. The question was then taken on Mr. Hillyer's amendment, which was adopted, yeas 100, nays 65. Messrs. Dockery, Morehead, Outlaw, and Stanly in the affirmative; Messrs. Ashe, Daniel, Clingman and Ven able in the negative.

The ed itor of the Standard in his issues of the 27th ult., attempts to show that Buchanan and Douglass aie better and more reliable on the fugitive slave law than President t illmore.

Kossuth made a great speech on Tuesday night, in Lafayette Square. An immense crowd listened to and greeted him with the great est applause. He expresfd his surprise that his doctrine met with opposition .at the South, where he anticipated the war mest support. He attributed it to the mis representations of his sentiments and spee ches particularly in Kentucky. He quo ted from his speech at Louisville to show that he never spoke disrespectfully of Mr. Cla' , for whom he has had the deepest re spect, tho&ffh not deeming his opinions in- fallable.

COLDS, HOARSENESS, BRONCHITIS, WH00FLG-C0UGU7 CfiOUP, ASTHMA, ASD CONSUMPTION, To cure a cold, with headache and soreness of the body, take the Cherry Pectoral on gotng to bed' and wrap up warm, to sweat during the night. For a cold and cough, take it morning.noon and evening, according te directions on the bottle, and the difficulty vi.ll soon be removed. None will long suff-r from this trouble when they find it can be so easily cured. Persons afflicted with a seated cough, which breaks thm of their rest at night, will find, by taking the Cherry Pectoral on going to bed, they may bt-sure of sound, unbroken sleep, and consequently refreshing rest. Great relief from suffering, and an ultimate cure, is afforded to thousands who are thus afilicted, by this- inval uable remedy. i : From its agreeable effect in these ca?s, many find themselves unwiliing to forego itJ use vhen the necessity for it has ceased. j From two eminent Physicians in j " Fayetteville, Tenn. .April 10,1851. Sir: We have given your Cherry Pectoral sn extensive trial in oar practice, and find it to sur pass every other remedy we have for curing aifec-' tions of the respiratory organs. . DRS. DIEMER &. HAMPTON. To singers and public speakers this remedy i invaluable,-as by its action on the throat and lung when taken rn small quantities, it removes all" hoarseness in a few hours, and wonderfully in-" creases the power and flexibility of the voice. Asthma is generally much relieved, and often' wholly cured by Cherry Pectoral. But there are" some cases so obstinate as to yield entirely to no medicine. Cherry Pectoral will cure them, if they' can be cured. Bronchitis, or irritation of.the throat and upper portion of the lungs, may be cured by taking Cher-' ry Pectoral in smaflaud frequent doses. The nn--comfortable oppression is soon relieved. ! Rev. Dr. Lansing, of Brooklyn New York says:" I have seen the Cherry Pectoral cure such cases of Asthma and Bronchitis as leads me to believe it.; can rarely fail to cure those diseases. FOR CROUP. Give an emetic of antimony, to -be followed by large and frequent doses of thePec toral, until it r,ubdues the disease. If taken in sea--son, it will net fail to cure. . ! Whoopinj; Cough may be broken up and 6oonf cured by the use of Cherry PectoraL ' : The Influenza is speedily removed by this reme--dy. Numerous instances have been noticed where whole families were protected from any serious--consequences, while their neighbots, without the' Cherry Pectoral, were suffering from the disease. -Salem, Ohio, IJth Juce, 1851; Dr. J. C. Ayer: I write to inform yon of the truly remarkable ef fects of your Cherry Pectoral in this place, and in my own family. One of my daughters wascom--pletely Cflfed in three days of a dreadful Whoop ing Cough, by taking it. Dr. Means, one of our very best physicians freely states that he consid--ersitthe best remedy we have for pulmonary disea ses and that.he has cured more casesofCroup with' it than any other medicine he ever administered. Our clergyman of the Baptist Church 6ays du- ring the run of Influenza here this season, he has-; seen cures from your medicine, he could scarcely' have believed without seeiag. Yours respectfully, J. D. SINCLAIR, From the distinguished Professorof Chemistry and Materia Medica, Bowdoin College. ; I have found die Cherry Pectoral, as its ingre-. dients show, a powerful remedy for colds,- andv coughs, and pulmonary diseases. ' PARKER CLEVELAND, M. D. Brunswick, Me., Feb. 6, 1847. DR. VALENTINE MOTT. . The widely celebrated Professor of Surgery in, the Medical College, New York City, says : "It gives ma pleasure to certify the value and efficacy of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which I oonsid er peculiarly adapted to cure diseases of the Throat, ann Lungs." s Cures of severe diseases npoo the Luttgaf have' been affected by Cherry Pectoral in such extremn cases a a warrant the belief that a remedy has t. length been found that san be depended on to cur the Coughs, Colds and Consumption which catry from our midst thousands every year. It indeed a medicine to which the afflicted can look with-, confidence for relief, and they should not fail to a vail themselves of it. j Prepared and sold by JAMES C.AYER, .
