The citizens "of Salisbury have tendered the free hospitalities of the place to the delegates to the Convention, and only half the usual fare will be charged to the visiters on the railroad. - : Delegates are requested to address D. A. Davis of Salisbury, who will report their names to the oommittee of the town appointed to see to the comfort of the visitors.' ; ' 1 ' THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. -The friend of Mr. Fii.tMoae have very unwise ly permitted themselves to propagate groundless reports concerning the-life andj character of sir. Buchanan. In private life, the latter can com pare notes favorably withMr. jFrAeoR C, or any ether man in the country. The political antece dents of Mr. Buchanan are far! more acceptable to Southern Rights men than those of Mr. Fill more, a the records show.. j . For our part we are not disposed to inreatigate the character of a man who has tio possible enhance of being elected ; but our contemporaries have found it necessary to do Bp in order to protect the merits of the gentleman who is. aa we hope and expect, to be the next Pres Buchanan.- As pertinent .to this subject, we submit the foU lowiifg remarks from an article in She Richmond Enquirer t 'The election of Mr. Buchanan would be a re actionary movement in favor of Slavery and con servatism. The election of Mr. Fillmore would .subsidise the barbarians, by yielding them the lands" north of 36 deg. 80, increase their numbers and their rapacity, and only postpone disunion to a period when it would be more perilous than afc present. Besides, his election might go far to wean the affection, confidence nd attachment of the Catholics from our institutions, who are now their best stay" and support. They might then think that the rule of the Pope would be better than no rule-the government of pirates better than the anarchy of infidelity Mr. Jilmore and most of his be, the compromise which they propose is but a step towards Black Republicanism, a subsidy Offered to the Goths. The South must not yield one inchthe religious, patrotc and conservative South must not yield an inch, but to vote for Mr. Fillmore will be te yield an ell.., . ..; The Zitw Orleans Delta has some remarks, also, worthy, of. consideration : We must regard-it as unfortunate that Mr. Fillmore was nominated. His election is impos sible.. Whatever may be the sage opinions of a few half awake partisans, poi -house politicians, antiquated sectarians and Samites, he and "Sam" are fungi, foreign bodies, not En the canvass, out of the game entirely. It ia now the North agasnst the South and the nomination merely serves to complicate matters between them. "It Is the 'policy of the South to hare her peace and safety at once securad in the Union or out of it ; and ia order to do this, that the North should decide directly, and positively, whether or not it will adhere to the Constitution as it & But Mr. Elllmpre comes in as a disturbing cause, and if Fremont be elected', many Southerners will blind their eyes, and say it was because Fillmore took away good constitutional support in the North from Buchanan ; they Will be disposed o hang on to a groken Constitution and a disas trous Union and to try the North once more, and will talk of peace while the chains are being rive ted firmly upon them. "".'-.. . -, "We argue as men who sincerely love the Con atitution and value the Union only so far as it is a Constitutional Union. The prospect for a return to such a Union seems very remote. If Mr. Bu chanan be elected, although some semblance of a Constitution may be preserved four years longer by his exercise of the veto power, we can by no means affirm that it will be so preserved. How soon or bow far the civil war in Kansas may ex tend, "must give ua pause." But the only chance of preserving the Union and restoring it to its con stitutional character, ia in the election of Mr. Bu chanan; and if there be a conservatrre element in the North it must manifest itself now, or it will be forever too late." CAPE FEAR AND DEEP RIVER WORKS. The Journal of yesterday states that "A letter from Col. Murchison, President of the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Company,, informs James Cassidey, Eq, one ; of the Wilmington di rec tore ef that Company, that the lower slope of the dam of Silver Run has! been carried away by . the late or present flood, and also a quantity of "timber intended for the slope' of the dam at Red Rock.

The cases pre? hwsly report- A GREAT MISTAKE. , , Our people have been so long and often told by northern politicians, -that we are weak and feeble, and in case of disunion would be good for nothing, that many of us have been blind enough te belio ve it. The danger of Internal commotion, in case of disunion, is entirely with tho north ; as also the weakness and feebleness. . A c tem porary reiterates our opinions on this subject, in , very forcible language : " The North will have no-prmciple of cohesion within, no common dan ger binding together from without. The situa tion and straggling extent of hsr territory, will render union difficult.. 'The predominance, of different European races will make it impossible. One half her territory (that In the East) will starve in a year if divided from the Western half; and yet the division is sure to'take place. So cialism, cotnmBoion, infidelity, licentiousness and agrariaaism, now scarcely,' suppressed by union with the conservative South, will burst fortlr in a carnival of blood. The social system of the South is sure to oeget strong and permanent governmen tal institutions and a lasting confederation. That of the North will beget revolution w ith more rap id iteration, more bloody execution, and more direful consequences, than the same system has brought forth for seventy years in Western Eu rope."

Resolved, That, in the opinion of this mect rnr, the suspension of operations at the United States Armory is due to the action of the so-call ed republican majority of the House of Represent atives of the United States. 2. Resolved,, That the action of the majority is unprecedented in the history of this government ; that it is revolutionary and anarchical, and calls for the earnest reprobation of every conservative citizen of the country of whatever party. - S. Resolved, Tnat tbe Senate has again proved itself to be the bulwark of tbe constitutional rights of the several co-ordinate branches of the government,' and vindicated the w isdom of the founders of our republic, , 4. Resolved, That the refusal of the so-called republicans of the Houso to pass the Senate bill for tbe abrogation ot tbe auconstituUoual.laws of the legislature of Kansas, and their determination to stop the wheels of government, in order to force upon tbe Senate their obnoxious proviso, prove beyond a doubt that there is no sincerity in their profession ; tnat their only object is to compass personal or. party ends ; and that for those ends they are willing to sacrifice the best interests of .their constituents and jeopard the existence of the government itself. f - ' -6.
