we fear that eaifichmt. hnrtance is "no attached
to the subject either Ta or out of oar State. The
chief object of the ConvcntUm is to secure to the
South the rich, fruit. of aUct Foreign Trade,
which is now gatheTed by oar northern friends;
and while the South bni tbushecome weaker, the
North has become stronger, not only forjlawfnl
and constitnUonafparposeA
Abolitionist anJ-XjeesoiJers against the right of
the South and her political prosperity and social
happiness. - - '". . "
Wc hope mere political and party rant wril be
kept out of this Convention and belie va. it ill.
It is a busihess matter that should be conducted
with coolness and decision ; with mild demeanor
but unalterable determination of purpose. These
..iialities have much more strongly marked the
notion of Southern people for aoine -time past,
than injurmer years hence the favorable results
already mmiifesUiI in our polities! history.
The towns along the Atlantic ttonst, from the
Potomac to the Ilk) Grande, aw deeply interested
iii this movement, as tasJI the southern country
with which they are connected and have inter
course. The more strength the -South acquires
in the branch of industry and enterprise indica
ted, the less hazard there will be of any contin
gency that will require lier strengh to be put in
motion, in self-defence or otherwise.
Since writing the above wc notice in the Herald
of TiK'Mlp.y the appointment of ten Delegates by

INCREASE OF- SALAIIY.
At the first quarterly meeting of the Faycttc
ville Station of the M. E. Church South, Rev. It.
J. Carson, preiiding, the following Resolution
v .h adopted :
Il'sohtJ, 1st., That wc the members of the
(Jiiitru-rly Conference of Fayette ville station, N.
.'. Conference, do hereby most repect fully and
enmostly recommend to the approaching (jeneral
Conference of the Methodist E. Church. South, to
be held in May next, so to alter the Discipline as
t increase the salaries of oursingle and married
preachers and the allowance for the widows of
our deceased preachers, al least fifty dollars iach.
If there was eTcr a reform required in any
matter since the world was made, it is the one in
dicated in the above Resolution. The salaries of
the Preachers of this Church, at no time more
than sufficient to secure a bare subsistence, re
mains the same as it did when living cost about
half as much as it does at present. We have
heard of many who could not have been tustain-
d at all without resort to their private means.
There is no class which presents the community
with so much faithfulness and talent as does this,
for any thing like the amount now asked for in
the above Resolution.
POSITION OF THE " UNION."
The Washington Union of Saturday hist comes
out with an article on the Cuban question, of a
very exceptionable character, which the Jntcli
ynctT leads, us to hope is not sanctioned by the
Administration. In the first part of the article
alluded to, the Editor insists that Spain shall im
mediately consent to our opening Diplomatic re
lations with the Captain General of Cuba, for the
settlement of any questions that may hereafter
arise.
We quote the follow! ug as a specimen of the
'"brag and bluster" style so pregnant in the Union
newspajicr and some other democratic issues.
But if any hesitation is manifested by the Cab
inet of Madrid to disavow the outrageous proce
dure against our flag and the property of our cit
izens, and if the contingencies be not removed by
which similar occurrences may be occasioned, we
shall advocate the employing of all the power
w hich the Government can command in support
of our rights and interest in Cuba. The world
would consider us as weak as we would in reality
be mean if we were to suffer even the first Power
of the earth to offer us insult, added to injury, as
rejieatedly as they have been perpetrated upon
us by Spain during the last five years. The time
has arrived when forbearance to even an imbecile
nation, whoso obstinacy er ignorance ha3 brought
it to the verge of ruin, ceases to be a virtue. Wc
must not only receive redress for the past, but we
must have abundant security for the future. Its
relations with us will have to be bettered, or they
wiil have to be discontinued.
The next paragraph accuses Great Britain of
wishing to intimidate us, by the announcement in
the British House of Lords that England and
France were in perfect accord with respect to the
affairs of this hemisphere. Great Britain is also
accused of sowing discord in the Union and con
spiring against its expansion.
The following paragraphs arc very notable :
In the case of the Black Warrior, England is,
to a great degree, responsible for the wrongs com
mitU'd by Spain. The authorized speech of Lord
Clarendon to which we have adverted was at the
U.ttom of the temerity of the Spanish authori
ties. It instigated the deed preci.elv as the Indi
annswere instigated, under British "dict-ation, to
the ruthless butchery of our citi.ens on our fron
tier in the year 1812.
We tell Queen Victoi ia's Government frankly
that, as Cuba is the key to the gull through which
a large proportion of our commerce passes, we
cannot consent to its exercising the slightest con
trol over that island. The idea of her having any
other interest in the matter than that of throwing
obstacles in the way of our prosperity is too ab
surd to be cntcrtaiued for a moment." She may
envy our growth, but she shall not close our doors.
She permitted Austria, contrary to the stipula
tions of the treaty of Vienna, to which she was a
party, to obliterate the free city of Cracow, be
cause, as was alleged by that Empire, it was a
'.angerous neighbor. She now encourages Spain
to c onsummate acts of bad neighborhood which
are little better than positive piracy, and enlists
J-ouis Napoleon to co-operate with her in support
ing the offender ! This is the downright old-fashioned
British policy.
We cannot perceive the dignity, propriety, or
justice in making up old grudges against Great
Britain, or in referiug to the history of continen
tal Europe, ia Ulis afIHir wUh gpa5n re,ativc to
the outrage, on the steamer. It is to bo deplored
that a paper which holds so high position at
home and abroad as the Union does, and is con
sidered in Europe a. among our first papers, in
portion, at least, should be filled so much with
mere stuff.
TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT."
A writer in the New Haven Journal and Couri
er, signing himsvlf Samuel E. Foot, Proioscs a
Convention of "wis. and prudent men from the
free States," "to take into consideration the pro
priety of their immediate separation from the
slave-breeding and slave-whippillg States." We
wait with dne impatience the consummation of
this great work. Great doings there will be. We
suppose Fred will be there, and MUs Abby and
Missy Susan, and sundry persons who signed the
late Memorial. " We hope they will go ahead as
fast as possible. All the Southern people hare to
say to thctn. If they do not like the present Con
stitution and the ways and manners of our people,
s, "get eont," that's all.
ANTI-NEBRASKA MOVEMENTS. ;
ITie clef wboreceatly addressed the Senate,'
are now to be ranked among those who desire to
dissolve the Union ; tor while they were endeav
oring to usurp political power; over the govern
ment, their coadjutors In Boston, New York and
elsewhere, were- taking pen ground for the disso
lution of the Union. The New York Herald, ta
alluding to the former tyranny of tbe New Eng
land Priesthood, over the minds and consciences
of the people, has the following :
"To the unprecedented interference of the cler
gy In politics allusion has already been made aa
well in the United States Senate as in other pla
ces. It is a painful thing to ay, but it cannot be
questioned that the clergy of the Eastern States
hare been a burthen and almost a blight on tbe
intellectual progresa of the people. From the
pulpit came those intolerant and narrow laws
which disgraced the New England statute book 4
fbr more ihaa century ; it was, the voice of the
clergyman which fahnfnated on hapless offendeYs
these shocking sentences which assimilate the re
cords of the Puritans in America to those of the
Inquisition im Spain. Enlightenment gradually
drove the priesthood from tbe seats of secular au
thority ; and New Englaud, ever since the revolu
tion, has made immense strides in intellectual
progress, as a natural consequence. Now they
arc again stepping forward to override the power
of the Legislature, and wrest from the bands of
statesmen the control of the Commonwealth.
With impious assurance, three thousand men,
pledged by their cloth to preach submission to
the constituted authority, protest, in the name of
Almighty God, against the maintenance of the
constitution. This i certainly a rery unusual
sign of the times, and one which it behooves us
to watch narrowly. Our institutions have hither
to protected us from luch disastrous attempts at
theocracy as have been from time to time success
fully established in Europe : and we had come to
believe that the security we now enjoy was des
tined to endure forever. But if the anti-slavery
agitators can so easily make a tool of the clergy,
and thrust them forward "in the name of Almigh
ty God'' to play the part of traitors, we may not
be after all as safe as we imagine. At all events,
when we consider the intelligence that is usually
ascribed to tbe clergy, and when we see the very
ubsurd position in which they are now placed,
one cannot help feeling that their movement is a
symptom which, if not alarming, is at least very
striking and memorable."
KNOW NOTHINGS"
There has been a secret Society for some time
in existence in New York, which has extended
itself to other places, and, as we see by the Daily
True Delta, to New Orleans.
The objects of the Society are reported to be
two-fold. 1st the disfranchisement of adopted
citizens, and 2d a perpetual war upon the Catho
lic religion. The first is one of the absurdest no-
tious ever promulgated. The second is a subject
j that can be laudably entertained only by open in
j vestigation and public argument. The Catholic
) Religion is no secret, and, therefore is not to be
1 arrested in its progress by any "know nothing"
; svstcm. Those who combat this hercsv, should
be jn-rsons who both profess to know and really
do know something about it.
We suppose, like other occult bodies, this Soci
ety will have various Degrees of promotion.
These have not been described, so far as we have
heard. We will give them one, in cose they should
be at a loss about it the last let the last crow
ning degree be called the "Do Nothing" and
thus will the whole order of the course be straight,
from the beginning to the ending and let the
Chief of this Degree be styled " The most noble
grand Ninnyhammer."
HARMONY OF THE COMPROMISES.
Sec the fruits of the harmony that arises under
the Compromises in the report of the affair at
Milwaukee, in which a mob took a runaway slave
out of jail, in defiance of the Constitution and
Laws of the United States. It is attempted to
bring this matter up to doter Congress from pas
sing the Nebraska Bill.' This is all pretence. The
Compromises have not yet been repealed, and
there can be no excuse on that score. The per
sons most active in opposing the Nebraska Bill,
and insisting upon the Compromise of 1860, arc
those who never in good faith sustained the Fu
gitive Slave Law, but have always done all they
could to assault, and plunder, and rob in violation
of :t.
DEFENCE OF SLAVERY.
The New Bork Day Book has an article on Sat
urday, which has been preceded by several others,
in relation to the "Rights of Negro Slavery."
The South will be thankful to all our friends at
the North who vindicate our cause in northern pre
mises. But we have long since dropped the dis
cussion of the subject here, as we have found
Northern fanaticism inapproachable by truth or
reason. The discussion is now very much cur
tailed, and we only say to the Abolitionists and
others, if they don't approve the institution of
Slavery, "You've got to take it and if you don't
like it you can lump it," as they say down East.
"VERY SILLY.
Ab a Democratic meeting lately held in Raleigh,
two of the speakers declared "they would rather
see North Carolina stricken from the constellation
of States, than to have an act passed for distribu
ting the public lands or their proceeds among the
States."
Well what does this amount to 1 T&y would
rather sec ! And who are they indeed ! They
are either corrupt (oliticians who expect to share
in the spoils that the General Government may
have to "distribute," or else they are pumpkin
headed partizans who do not know what they are
talking about.
PLEASURE &, PROFIT.
Our friend Whitaker has sent us a little Book,
entitled " Pleasure and Profit, or Lessons on the
Lord's Prayer, a series of stories, by Mrs. M
ners." Wo believe it to be a good book, and for
young persons, especially useful.
TEMPERANCE MOTEMENT.
We invite attention to tbe proceedings of Unity
Division Sons of Temperance. No. 149, which we
have been requested to publish. We admire the
indepent spirit that animated this meeting, which
shows that they will assert their opinions in mat
tors of right and wrong, without the fear or dread
of political party leaders.
EDITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE.
Raleigh, N. C, March 20, 1854.
Mt Diar Sir : I see your New York Corres
pondent, in your last issue says : "There was a
sale here last week at the Bank of the Republic
of half million of North Carolina State Bonds,
for which the bids" &c.
This is a mistake ; the sale was In Raleigh on
the 28th ult, and not in New York.' The mistake
no doubt occurred from the fact that, the two for
mer sales of half million each took (place at that
Bank. ,. ,,kiM & "

A abort time since, the papers announced a

however, Mr. Nohe, we haye many accounts. He
baa figured largely in this conntryaud.bal lef
many trace behind him, .particularly at,, (he
South, where be will lone be remembered. Vin
cent Nolle is a inttn of many f salient ' points of
character arid of a striking exteri r. He baa
been remarkable for his activity and intelligence,
and "has acquired , a , good renown as one of the
most prominent speculators or gamhlort fn cotton
He waa born in Leghorn of German parents, and
while his father was residing there in the capaci
ty of consular agent about the year 1780 'He
was in Italy during the invasion of tbe Great Na --
poleon in 1776. This German origin, his resi
dence in Italy,' and subsequently in France and
America, gave him a practical knowledge of the
German, Italian, French, and English, and his
peregrinations a great knowledge of the world
He seems to have been always on hand every
where, where there" was a revolution, a battle, or
a great speculation going on. Hence his niemoits
must be full of novelty and interest. He was in
New Orleans in 1814, and supplied Own. Jackson
with some of tho cotton bales to form bis ram
parts on the plains of Chalmette. Cotton was at
a low figure then. Tho trade in it had scarcely
got nndurway. After tbe battle of the 8th, Gen.
Jackson, in settling with Mr. Nolle, offered him
l be price of the cotton, about six or seven cents
at the time that It was appropriated. Mr. Nolte
demanded the prico at the time of settlement
when tbe article had advanced considerably, Mr
Nolte had also furnished some clothing for the
troops, and the General offored him Tennessee
money in paymcxt, upon the plea that the clo
thing was for the Tennessee troops. But Mr
Nolte objected to this martial logic, and set forth
a good many arguments and reasons w hy he
should be paid for his cotton at subsequent pri
ces, and for his clothing in current money instead
of bills which were seven or eight per cent, dis
count. Geti Jackson replied thtt he made tbe
matter too complicated, and that a man nho bau
talked as much as he had must certainly be thirs
ty. Whereupon, ho invited him to take a drink,
and soon settled both accounts upon bis own
terms. After leaving New Orleans in 1814, Mr.
Nolte settled in Havre, as a Commission Mer
chant, and did not make his appearance again in
the Crescent City, until 1839. This was a year of
great speculation in cotton, and Mr. Nolte was in
strumental in putting the ball io motion. He
came out under the recognition of Hope, tho ban
ker at Amsterdam, and provided with a letter of
credit on Baring & Brothers of Loudon, for twen
ty thousand pound sterling. With these creden
tials he entered the fWld of speculation, and pur
chased cotton to the amount -of eight hundred
thousand dollars. The cootaeion spread. Ali
through the South speculation became rife, and
many were ruined by it who have hot recovered
to this day. The game that Nolle played was
th;s : lie chartered a ship, and agreed to snpplx
a cargo of cotton upon condition that the Captain
would sign the Mils of lading beforehand. On
these bills ol lading he procured advances, and
then went on to purchase the cargoes which they
represented. He made arrangements, moreover,
ith the Citizen Bank,. (French,) whereof Mr.
Perrault whs President, to honor bis checks, aud
the Bank therefore, became a party in his trans
actions. The Bank was finally a loser to a very
large amount. Many purchases were made also
upon the strength of his nominal credit. Nolte
became elated with bis brilliant proaincls. He
even asserted that a golden crown was lying in
tbe streets of New Orleans, and that nobody wou'd
pick it up but himsvlf. But this dazzling vision
was soon dispelled. Tbe news from abroad did
not sustain the excitement of tbe times, and many
who had parted with their cotton became anxious
to secure the Coin in exchange for it. Many law
suits were incurred, and all the cotton that had
not gone forward was attached. Bet there was
not enough to satisfy all, and those who had no
thing to seize, had nothing else than losses for
their share. But in the midst of his brilliant de
lusions, Mr. Nolte bore in mind how often he had
been jilted by fortune, and to make sure, he con
signed to Havre for the benefit of his wife, one
hundred thousand dollars worth of cotton. Mrs.
Nolte, was in Paris. She and her husband after
wards purchased a Chateau on the romantic shores
of Lake Genera. Since then Mr. Nolte has kept
quiet, and i: seems has been occupying himself in
embodying the memorable incidents of the past
in a woik written in German, and which is now
undergoing translation in this city, and will be
published by Bedfield in the course of seven or
eight weeks. When it appears it will command a
large sale, as Mr. Nolle has a large personal ac
quaintance in this country at the North and South.
The autobiography of Mr. Nolte, and his con
nection uith the baule of New Orleans, recalUd
to mind the British watchword on that occasion
of "Beauty and Booty." And a romantic affair'
of Beauty and Booty, h.ij recently occurred in
this city. For sometime past it has been known
that the greatest beauty at one of the large palace
hotels in Broadway, wjs manifested in a simple
servant girl of low degree. Unaided by those ar
tificial distinctions which nature sometimes langhs
to scoru as much as society adores, and nuadorn
ed by the arts of tbe jeweler and mantua maker,
this protegee of nature outshono all the bcllea
and hit;!' born and high-dressed ladles of tbe es
tablishment. All the young maidens who Mere
putting up for the Winter, and bent upon a con
quest before the Spring, would have given all
i heir position and prospects for the fee simple of
those natural graces and inimitable charms. She
was alike admired by gentlemen and ladies. Tbe
sight of so much beauty produced emotion
which were irresistible. Still, she was only an
Irish servant girl, a stranger, and entirely atone
for the MKr girl left her mother who had several
other children, and came to New York to seek a
livelihood. Nobody had told her she waa beauti
ful, and she bad not found it out until now, when
all eyes were turned upou her, and she wondered
what it meant. Every thing precious iMfst be
locked up from thieves and robbers, and accord
ingly this Irish Armida was quartered with the
private family of one of the hotel proprietors in
the lofty and inaccessible regions of the estab
lishment. Bnt,
' Love will find its way, .
Where wolves would fear to atray.'
And to cut -the story short, for my paper is

and a few odd daya, was spirited off. last week jty

A Fugitive Stare excitement I

A fugitive slave was arrested aeir Racine last
Saturday, by a United States. Manbal and the al'

manacled, put in a boggy, driven h to Milwaukee
and lodged in jait The citizens, h learning the
facts, got out a habeas corpus andaerved it upon
the Marshal, insisting that a fair flal should be
given the fugitive. While these pbeeed mg were
in progress, a steamer arrived, brtglog about 100
men from Racine.
"They mat cbcdTn solid tdutttr jto: U jail

Mr. Garland, and others, for assault and battery.
Mr. O. was arretted aud taken to J. E. Arnold's
office, who acted as his cousel. A writ of habeas

and he was taken to that office. An understand

iu custody of tho United States Marshal, to be
produced at that time.
AFFAIRS IN MEXICO.
Intelligence From the city of Mexico to the
4th inst. hare been received in New Origins :
OfWa'kei's cs-diiion the Mexican papers do
not give os auy late particulars. The proclama
tion of President Pierce is dvelt upon with much
satisfaction, and the chief reliance of the Mexi
cans for relief from Walker's fcivasion seems to be
on the interference of our Governmental author
ities. .
The Supreme Government becoming alarmed
at the audacity of Walker's iivasion of Lower
California and Sonorn, and fearful that he may
endeavor to extend his empire still further and
attempt to possess himself of the important Paci
fic port of Acapulco, have ordered the latter place
to be put in a good state of defence, and have
sent two regiments of troops from Puebla and the
capital for its defence. The march of these troops
towards Acapulco, however, has been the cause
of a rebellion in the southern (orlion of the Re
public. The rebels are headed by Don Juan Al
varez, a sort of feudal lord among the mountains
of the south, who acknowledges no law and bows
to no ruler, although he has been on half friendly
terms with Santa Anna, and did send in his ad
hesion to the act of Guadalajara. The pretext
Don Juan has for his rebellion Is that the troops
now marching towards Acapulco, ostensibly for
the defence of llyat oily againxt Walker, have io
reality been scntto combat liimand his followers;
therefore he has determined to meet these troops
ou their march and give ibem bat tic.
Thr Df.ficienct Bill, which passed the House
of Representatives on Friday, appropriates over
two millions of dollars. The item of$630 000for
the purpose of s Mtetor the New York Assay Of
fice, was stricken out. 1 Among the appropriations
arc the following :
For the President's house and gronnds, for fuel
for the President's house, and for iron fences. S3,
800. For repair at the Capitol, and improving
the grounds around it, 0,500. For treca, tree
boxes and rejwirs of pavements, $600 For lamps
and lami-pojts on Pennsylvania avenue, between

itol and Navy Yard, SI ,200. For completing the
pedestal and enclosure of the equestrian statute
