Resohed, That in conjunction with the above, we endorse and approve the inaugural address and mes sage of President Pierce, and congratulate the De mocracy, the country at large, and the friends of po- . litical liberty throughont the world on the practical success of our principles ; and, also, on the wisdom, firmness and patriotism of Franklin Pierce to con duct thesa principles to a still greater height than they have hitherto attained, and whilst the discharge of this pleasing duty will reflect happiness and lib erty on all around, it will raise his name to a level T-with the brightest names of the Republic. Jietolred, That it is of the first importance to the prosperity and happiness of North Carolina that the Democratic principles now so triumphantly in the . ascendency should remain so, and to that end our armor is all bright and wc are ready to do battle. Itesohed, That 011 the retirement from office of his Excellency, David S. Kcid, he leaves the people pros- j perous and happy, and the State elevated far above ; any former position, and carrys with him tne confi dence, love, and gratitude of his fellow-citizens, and hears on every side the highly gratifying plaudit of " well done good and faithful servant." Jiesohed, That whilst we are willing that the fed eralists should sustain the doctrine of non-intervention we enter our solemn protest against their usurp in" and claiming it as their own, knowing as wc do that they have wared against those who arc its au thors for more than fifty years ; but as it was with Free Suffrage in 1848, with the compromise meas ures in '50, and with the strict construction doctrine in 'o2, so now it is with non-intervention in 1854. Well mar democrats take courage when the excel lence and virtue of their doctrine not only subdues, but challenges the admiration and support of their ancient foes. JResolceJ, That the Chairman be requested to ap point twenty-one delegates to represent the Democ racy of Greene in said Convention. Under the last resolution, the following delegates were appointed : Arvil Sugg, J. C. Edwards, C. II. Harper, Joseph J. Hooker, James Brown, Jesse W. Moore, Edward R. Coward, A. S. Dardan, li. B.

' Phew A.. Srco, See'i. DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN ROBESON. . At a meeting of the Democratic party of Robeson, assembled in the Court House in Lumber ton on the 25th ult, on motion, Col. Neill Regan was called to the Chair, and S. B. Rozier and A. W. Fuller ap pointed Secretaries. The chairman explained the object of the meeting, and appointed T. A. Norment, R. S. French, Esqrs., and Maj. Eli Wishart to draft resolutions, who submitted the following : JtfBoleed, That this meeting approves the recom mendation of the Executive Committee to hold a Convention in Raleigh on the 19th April, to nomi nate a candidate for Governor. We feel sorry to lose from the field our present able chief magistrate, but live in hope that our next Legislature will put him where lie deserves to be in the U. S. Senate. Jieaolced, That seventy-five delegates be appoint ed to attend the State Convention at Raleigh, and wc pledge ourselves to support the nominee for Gov ernor, knowing that the Convention will select none but a good and true man. Jictolced, That we have a President that the whole country can rely on with safety, and the South has great reason to rejoice at his election, for while he is at the helm her constitutional rights are secure. We approve and affirm the National and State Dem ocratic platforms, as well as the inaugural and late message of President Pierce, and pledge ourselves to give him all the aid and comfort we can in carry ing out the principles of the same. Jiesoleed, That we most cordially approve the principles of the bill for the organization of Nebraska and Kansas territories, and-sincerely hope the influ ence of President Pierce and his friends may be able to carry it through the House, as they have through the Senate, notwithstanding the united opposition of tho whigs from the free States. licsoletd, That Sanator Douglas has endeared him self to the people of the whole nation, and especial-ly-.to the South, in so faithfully aiding with his bril liaut talents-to carry out the." principles of the com promise measures of 1850. ;, llis bill leaves the sub ject of slavery jnst where it ought to be left, with the people of each territory,to adopt or reject it as the majority may see lit when they form their State Constitution. . v t . . - Itesolcetl, That -we recommend to our Democratic brethren in Robeson the holding of a Convention in Lumberton on the 4th Monday in May next, to nom inate candidates. for the Legislature,, and that the people of each Captain's District be requested to send as many delegates to said Convention as they may think proper, so that the whole county may be rep-, resented in the Convention, and the people suited in, . their candidates. 5 -. ; v The following gentlemen were appointed delegates to the State Convention : R.

At a meeting of a portion of the Ashe Democracy at Jefferson, 10th March, 1854, John Poe, Esq., was appointed Chairman, and Roderick Murchison, Sec retary. The object of the meeting having been explained, a preamble and resolutions were unanimously adop ted, of which the following is the substance : Jiesohed, That wc have increasing confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of Gen. Pierce's adminis tration, and concur in his measures generally. Jiesohed, That wc approve of the manner in which our fellow-citizen, his Excellency, D. S.

Douglas, of Illinois, for the introduction and success of the Nebraska bill. Jiesohed, That this meeting approves of the pro posed State Democratic Convention to be held in Raleigh in April proximo, to nominate a candidate for Governor. Jiesohed, That this meeting will appoint one Del gate from each Captain's District in Ashe to attend said Convention. Jiesohed, That we recommend our worthy fellow citizen, Col.

' JOHN POE, CJuri'n. R. Murchisox Sec'y. ' ": , , ; ' . , c " P. S. A resolution was adopted by this meeting calling on the Democrats all over the County to hold meetings and send .delegates to a County Convention at Jefferson on tho "4th Monday of May, to select candidates for the. Legislature. ; ' y ,. . R. M. - Lettb -: from-- a ' Condemxed Criminal. David Jewell, who was executed at Pittsburg, on Friday last, wrote a most feeling letter to a friend, return ing his thanks to him and his wife for their kind at tentions to him while in prison, and. adding : ' " I trust what little I have to say io you will hot be deemed wrong nor out of place ; it may be a ben efit to you in years to come,-and you may- profit-oy ; it, which I hope you will. Only look back to the morning of the 5th of ,'July. and picture to y ourself the happy man I was on that glorious, but unhappy dairto me.'" I left my little family under the srom- ise to be back again in the course of an hour, to ac- wu'fj hucui vi m muiuitu vav;ui&iu!i , irolu inere I got in the company, of some young friends, took, a social drink ..together, from that to another, and another, and yet another, I then forgot "my promise" to those I held most near ' and dear to Vine.; . ;Ani it is to this blighting cotsc,' and". against its useI wish to draw" your attention.

And this sort of. 'maneuvering is strictly necessary. .For consider--a yv ang gentleman who. had a piece of poetry in the paper; the . year before last, comes to the. city and calls Upon the editor.: To that: young gentleman,v the insertion of his'..' Lines rf was an event, an era; i His souVfeoundod within him Then he saw them in print. ;.. He showed them ex ul-; tihffly to bisinother, sent a copy.to hm sweetheart and handed tnem rouna on wie , siuoj, ui , - -la"-e store, and has thought better of himself ever " since. " To the Editor the printing of those lines was no event at all. 5 He has forgotten:' thcm and their author. Yet that young gentleman leaves ine omcc under the full conviction that he is dear to. the edito- rial eyes, and worst mistake of all welcome to the editorial sanctum. This is brougnt aooui vj no u pocrisy on the Editor's part. Broad and general, civility does the business, and does it quickly, v Knowing everybody both -helps and hinders the Editor. It keeps him supplied with facts and ideas, but it cramps the free expression ' of his opinions. Can an Editor write quite freely of an author, or ar tist or a politician, whom he cordially shook hands with yesterday, and will meet at dinner this even ing? Human nature is human nature, inai me Editor is utterly incorruptible by money we know, but he is not proof against the greater potency of friendly pity which is a pit-. Thc'Editor looks upon all things, subjects, events, and persons in the light of material for articles. A catastrophe which makes the town shudder, is to him a "feature." He says he " regrets to learn," or he is " pained to announce" but he is not as an Editor pained in the least; no more than an under taker is pained to bury a man in the highest style of fashionable anguish. His business is with the grave, and :t is his business to do it giavely. The editor, anon, is " Rejoiced to be able to state," or has had the " extreme satisfaction of ascertaining beyond doubt;" and in such assertions his sincerity is per fect ; for the pride and joy and glory of the Editor's heart is to be the ' first to communicate" to the pub lic an important piece of intelligence. Eagerly he scans tho rival sheets, to see if they have an' ink ling of the matter, and how sure he is to let his readers know, that in " our last number we an nounced in advance of all our cotemporaries !" and with what a ferocity of delight, " all our contempo rics!"are " authoratively to contradict the state ments which were so ostentatiously paraded in a morning paper." The Editor rather stumbled into his profession, than chose it. No man has been brought up to the business. It is taught at no school. No father ays, Lo ! my son shall be an Editor. But as the duck takes to the water, as the Jew takes to money lending, as the game-cock takes to fighting, so the pre-destmed Editor tikes to types and paragraphing; and the impulse which bore him into the profession, never ceases to act strongly upon him. He is full of his occupation, and never ashamed of it. He per ceives the promise of a paragraph from afar olf. He snuffs it in the air. He sees it in a window. lie catches it in the night, and prays Heaven lie may not forget it in the morning. If he takes a pill, he thinks Pill Taking in the United Spates would be a " magnificent subject ;" and so it would. If he cuts himself with a razor, it suggests observations on the Beard-movement. And he is prone to ask, whether you have any objection to his giving publicity to that remarkable fact. Yet the Editor, desperate as he is to tell the public something it don't know, al ways keeps back part of his information ; and there is an undf-r-current of ' highly interesting intelli ligence" that seldom gets into print. Editors of the audacious species have made their fortune by tap ping this turbid, but fertilizing stream. The Editor has his delusions as well as the Sub Editor. He thinks he creates public opinion ; where as, he only reflects it. The man who runs ahead of an advancing throng seems to lead it, and docs lead it, as long as he runs tchcre they want to go, but let him turn a corner where they do not want to turn, and he finds himself running alone. . No one conver sant with our political history, can be ignorant that in influencing votes, papers arc signally impotent, and particularly the papers which are very ably con ducted. Another delusion of the Editor is, to sup pose that the eyes ot the country are upon his pa per. He little thinks that the loudest thunder that ever deafened New York, died away among the Jer sey hills, and was only heard of among the High lands. The Editor, too, is subject to delusions with regard to his circulation. He hugs the thought, that if his circulation i small, it is select, and that he goes freely in the Fifteenth Ward, and is read under chandeliers, and lies on centre tables ; which latter, perhaps, he does occasionally. In the olden time, when Kings were as demi-gods hedged about with splendor, which at once revealed their consequence and concealed their persons, it happened, now and then, that a peasant became the inmate of a court, confronted majesty face to face; saw him eat, drink, and so forth ; heard him talk, swear, snore, sneeze, ct cetera. Extreme used to be the dstonishment of the peasant, after he had overcome, in some degree, the awe inspired by the august presence, to discover that the puissant mon arch of a realm, in whose hands were the issues of life and death, whose smile was wealth, whose fronrn was ruin, whose word moved armies, and whose whim decided the fate of nations was really, after all, very much like people in general. Not less is the amazement of the ' constant reader," when chance makes him intimate with a King of the mod ern kind the responsible editor of a leading news paper. Learned, he is not. The printing 1 fiice sends ten men to the editorial throne while the college sends one ; and there are editors in this country, prospe rous and renowned, who know grammar only by instinct, who owe their spelling to tho compositor, and have no idea on what map to look for Kamts chatka. Nor is the editor wiser than the average of men, no more given to reflection, nor more likely to be correct in opinion. If he were, he would be in constant danger of turning that awkward corner just referred to, and finding himself without followers. He would be ever tempted to tell his readers what they ought to be told ; whereas, the art of editing consists solely in telling them ,vhat they want to bo told. Hence, there are but two editors likely to achieve a striking success. . . One is the man, who in his opinions, habits and tendencies, represents a large class ; and the other fs ne wno can utterly sink the man in the editor, and devote his undivided attention to the study of .the public, whose prejudices he flatters, whose desires he anticipates, whose opinions he echoes. ; Do you blame him! How long would you continue your subscription to a paper which neither spared your prejudices, nor anticipated yenr desires, nor echoed your opinions. - Upon the whole, the editor is a good fellow. , He has his faults, like other men. But, gen erally speaking, he works hard and late, does a thousand obliging things, comes as near telling the truth as his readers will let him, and abovo all, he produces what the world could hot exist without; The Newspaper.

Just as Sir Charles was on the point of . leaving Portsmouth, the Corporation of that place presented him with an address, to which he made a reply, and said:"-' . ' ' .

I am sure every of ficer and man in the fleet will do his duty glorious ly ; but, at the same time, I warn you again that you must not expect too much. Cheers. The fleet is a new one ; the system of warfare is new ; great consideration is required to ascertain how it is best to manage a fleet urged by steam. The system of warfare is entirely different now to what it was formerly ; but we will do our best. Cheers.

This is pretty strong language for a whig ; and when we recollect that it comes from old Guilford the very Gibraltar of whiggery in N. Carolina the residence of the Moreheads, J. A. Gilmer, &c, we cannot but believe it very significant. The Patriot thinks that the resolution ought not to have placed any condi tion or restriction on the proposed Convention in fa vor of the present basis of representation. This is just the sentiment which wo supposed was held by the whigs of the west, but wc confess we were not lrepared to witness such an exhibition of indepen dence as is displayed by the Patriot on this subject. Is it not perfectly plain from this that the whigs of the West desire what they came out so strongly for in the Western Address, published in 1851, a change of the basis f representation ? They regard a Con vention to amend the Constitution without the pow er of making this change such a Convention as the whis resolutions contemplate as a mere shadoic held out to them in lieu of the substance for which they have been contending. In view of this state of feeling, is it prudent for the East to go into a Con vention as proposed by the whigs, in which the whole subject of constitutional amendment, with the excep tion of the basis of representation, is to be canvassed? And that, too, when the object to be thereby accom plished is the defeat of Free Suffrage by legislative enactment. Our whig opponents no longer express any deci ded opposition to Free Suffrage. It is evident, how ever, that it never was a favorite with them. From the first, they regarded it with an undefinable aver sion, for which they could assign no better reason than -that given by the celebrated wit, in tho words . . . "I do not like thco Doctor Fell Tho reason why 1 cannot tell ; . But this one thing I know full well, 1 do not like thee Doctor Fell." We believe that they did at one time make some show of argument against it, but it was a very poor showing, and is now seldom repeated. The game now is to assail the mode of obtaining Free Suffrage, proposed by Gov. Reid, and the motives which first induced him to advocate this great reform. It seems to be a favorite stratagem with many of the whig journals to assail the motives of leading democrats, after they have found that the measures proposed by them cannot with safety . Be attacked. As in the case of Gov. Reid, so it has been' with Mr. Senator Douglas, who introduced the Nebraska bill. Some of his enemies, finding that it would not be prudent to attack the bill, forthwith commenced an assault up on his motives.; .This; is a most unfair and ungener- ous system of warfare. ;s A public man who sets on foot a great scheme of reform, or a measure of pub lie policy, fraught with great benefits to hiscountryV ought at least to have some credit for what he does. It does not strike us as being very fair to assail a man for doing us a, service.. Such," however, has been the treatment, received by' Gov. Reid. at the hands of the whigs But the people, have, vindicated him from their aspersions by two . elections .to the gubernatorial chair.' Let them finish this good work. ' by electing a legislature that" will engraft Free Suf frage upon our Ste Constitution. ? We need no Convention "with- full powers to tear to pieces a Con stitution which is in the main good enough. If the whigs want any additional amendments beside Free Suffragelefrthcm bring them' forward in -the : ensu ing canvasst-Iet them be argued before the people, fdeclded upon by them, and either condemned or ac- ." - 'M - -wa vonvequun ew. purpose of maRiag- JTree Suffrage a part of trie State Constitution, when it can be done . so- much more conveniently and cheaply by legislative enact-. meet -; ? r-Fayettevills Carotin FayettexilU Carolinian.

A correspondent of the Dollar Newspaper says : " The cheapest mode of making vinegar is to mix o quarts of warm rain - water with 2 quarts of Orleans molasses, and 4 quarts of yeast. In a few weeks you will have the best vinegar you ever tasted." . A good book and a good woman are excellent things for those who know how justly to appreciate their value. There are men, however, who judge of both from the beauty of their covering. A man was found mounted on a ladder, with his lips pressed to the telegraphic wires. He was kiss ing his wife in Philadelphia by telegraph.' Never be afraid of catching cold from a " shower of curls." What State could fall, what liberty decay, if the zeal of man's noisy patriotism were "as pure as the silent loyalty of woman's love ? I will listen to any one's convictions, but pray keep your doubts to yourself. I have plenty of my own. Wood cut in February is better than that cut in March, as there is less sap in it.

A beautiful Jewess, says the Empire City, attend ed a party in Philadelphia, where she was excecd-inglj- annoyed by a vulgar, impertinent fellow. "And you never eat pork, Miss M ?" asked he tauntingly. "Never sir ;" was ihe reply. "Nor use lard lamps," continued the persecutor. "No sir," she answered ; "our religion teac-hes us to avoid everything swinish, physically and morally, therefore, you will excuse me for declining to have any more words with you."' Misfortune was his crime. Success would have silenced censure. Two opposite opinions should not lie on the same bolster. Corn Bread A xew Rectpe.

Miskeable Wages. There are thousands of re spectable females in New York, according to the Tribune, whose wages do not average 25 cents per day. This indicates an unjust and sad state of things. A lawyer wrote " rascal," in the hat of a brother lawyer, who on discovering it, entered a complaint in open court against the trespasser, who he said. had not only taken his hat, but had written his own 1 name in it. . . Since the new divorce law'went into operation iu Ohio, marriages arc placed under the head of "limS ited partnerships." - - An Anrsixo Incident.
