Carolina desire a change in tbe-Cori.stitution of the State." They have all along denied that Gov. Keid s election-was any evidence that the people desired a rhf.nwjn tKe Constitution, although the mam issue between hint and his opponents in all.his campaigns w Wnn exteritioriof tho richtof suffrage, lhe wrvntnoU has been cast asain and again in the Iioaslature in favor of this change in the Con- stitution has also been tnsregarueu vy delegates, as affording no foundation for the 'opin ion!' that the people desire .change in their Coiisti tntlon; The open opposition of the Whig leaders in tne last Assemoiy -io me rm success in defeating it, indicates, if it indicates ariy thin& that3r that timeXhej either did not, enter- tarn the ' opinion ' inai xne peojnc uk..b a in the Constitution, or if they did, they were willing, in order tD secure a paltry party triumph, to defeat tha . "desire .of, the people to stifle their voice, unmistakably expressed in evety election for the last six years. 5 V: -"v " . But the "Whig Convention is of opinion that the people desire '-a change" in tho Constitution. iHas anything occurred,' has an' opportunity otffercd to ascertain the sense of. the people on this subject, since the adjourning of the last Legislature ? II not, the "opinion" of the Whg Convention must be grounded on the action of that and previous Legisla-' tures in favor of Free Suffrage. If the vote of the people in the last two Governor's elections and the vote of the people's Representatives in the last three Legislatures, have reluctantly compelled the Whig Convention to adopt the "opinion" that the people "desire" a change', why the - necessity for them to withhold an exprsm of approval or the condemna ion of the change-which they must know the peop!e (Pacini" Tkani line V.oon no ti-cf itf thp nonntttr "desire" on any question ; of Constitutional Reform except ' Free Suffrage, yet the Whig Convention knowing this, and acknowledging it by their reso lution, obstinately persist-in refusing to declare for or against, it. .Are they for or against' it ? .Jf.they arc sincere in their "opinion" as to what the people want, can they endorse and approve the conduct of those members of their party who at the last session of the Legislature defeated the "desire" of the peo ple and saddled on them the necessity of incurring the expense of a Convention to obfain that which the vote of the Whig members of the last Legislature might have given them without any cost. It U difficult to decide whether the resolution un der consideration is a sign of progress or a step back wards, by the Whig party on the question of Con stitutional Reform. Two years ago, if amendments were desired, then the Whig party was in favor of"a Convention to make them. Now they favor a .Con vention without the clog of an if or a peradcenture as to whether it is demanded but they throttle it and tie its hands in the execution' of the only work that any reasonable man ever wanted it to do, by pro vidin'gUhat it shall not touch "the present basis of representation bhades of Uynum, uoodhn, uu- - , m.BU WS&V,.

This plan of .amendment, however, has the sanction of the Constitution itself as one of the modes therein pointed out by which, it may be changed. That now proposed by the Whig Convention has neither the sanction of the ' Constitution, J of reason, or - of common sense. It infringes" every , acknowledged principle of . Republicanism, violates ahd degrades the sovereign majesty of the people, and doles out to those who biennially breathe .ife in to the ai r-gant nos trils' of legislative variity.privileges which the legisla ture, has no more right to restrict than it has to re gulate the diet of the Emperor of China. The intel ligent free men of this section will we doubt not, set their foot upon this fungous growth of political trick ery and corruption, and crush it out as a mockery and disgrace to their good sense and patriotism. WeVpposcd Free Suffrage by legislative enact ment upon the grounds and for the reasons laid down in the Western Address. The arguments and conclusions of that address strike us with as much force now as they did when it was firsF published, and we consider them to-day as a better and more complete exposition of the absurd and anti-republican movement of the Whig party in, its late Conven tion than anything we can say. Many of our read ers have this address. We beg of theui to read the Convention resolution in the Whig platform, on which Gen. Dockery is perched, and then read the Western Address, as an appropriate commentary. They cannot rise from the perusal of these docu ments without agreeing with us, that the .leaders of the Whig part' have acted in bad faith to the pco ple that they have planned and meditate another fraud upon unsuspecting men of both parties in the West that they will bear watching, and that thc honest masses, without regard to old names or asso ciations, ought to punish them for their inexcusable desertion of principles and betra-al of their cause. The Dignitt of Mas. "It is a little thing to be a man" was the expression "of a poet, whose heart was embittered by neglect and crushed by misfor tune. And perhaps it is, to those wfio look upon him merely as a beef-eating and coffte-drinking ani mal, in whom good digestion is rather to be preferred than a good heart and a cultivated mind. Looking upon man in this light, he is truly a creature of very little importance. Nothing could be said more inte resting or more to the point than the remark of the old sergeant in Bentham " Give him plenty to cat and send him to sleep." ' ' "It is a little thing to be a man." And if so, whence springs this littleness? What causes it? If men are but a race of erect brutes but no, this is not the theory of human life, the sum of human happiness, the limit of human progression ! It is not a little thing to be a man. It is not a little thing to possess a reflecting mind, a feeling heart, an im mortal soul. These gifts arc great, and make men great. They are the endowments of Heaven, and ally him to it. The opposite' doctrine traces his ori gin to the brutes, and denies his natural superiority and immortality. It loses sight of his high duties j and higher destinies. Ic degrades him at once to the lowest level of animal existence. Man's dignity does not consist in the fact that he is a being who cats, drinks and sleeps. His highest honor springs not from his love of roast beef, sausa ges, dinner tables and sumptuous suppers. The highest style of man is not the one who finds his chief happpiness in " creature comforts" and plum puddings, mere is a nobler lite tnan the lite ot an epicure or a gourn.au i, and tnere is a nobler death than that caused by over-indulgence and a surfeit. Who died more like a man, Howard, the Philanthro pist, who perished in ministering to the sufferings of the needy, or the great Roman Emperor, who died from an excessive drinking of wine ? There is no necessity for a reply the onc dicd in the discharge of the uiost kindly offices to his fellow men the other " like the beasts which perish." The memory of the one is blessed the memory of the other is unhonorcd, if not execrated. It has well been said that some men are buried, and from their graves,' through the hands of ministering love, arise fragrant flowers and clustering boughs, which " smell sweet and blossom in the dust." 'But there are others who are deposited in their long home, and though no. flower or bough marks. the spot, yet forgotten it can never be, for there lies the record of a life ill-spent, the record of guilt, and tlie crown of crime sits silent and shadowy on the tombstone. . The cultivation of the mind and of the finer feel ings in our common nature are greater objects thaa the gratification of appetite, or the accumulation of dollars. Even looking at man as he exists in the the present state of being, with no reference to the future, there are higher objects of which he is capa ble, and nobler aspirations which should elevate his mind, v There are his mental powers to be cultiva ted; and his social affections to be enlarged and kin dled into fresh life. . And it is to these that his chief happiness.is linked and in these . that, his true dig nity will be found.'; 'JIow ' well it would be if some persons : could -.only ; be - convinced . that they, have J minds and hearts,' as "well as appetites- and; purses; -Lift up your eyes and look at the heavens.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN FRANKLIN. A large portion of the. Democrats of Franklin County met at the Court House in. Louisburg, on Tuesday the 14th inst., and was organized by ap pointing Robt G.Jeffreys, Esq., Chairman, and Wil liam P. Solomon, Secretary. On motion of Wm. F. Green, Esq., the following gentlemen were appointed by the Chair a committee to draw up resolutions for the consideration of this meeting, viz : Wm. F. Green, Manalcus Lankford, D. W. Spivey, Jno. D. Hawkins, and Isaac H. Win ston. While the committee was out, Wm. A. Jenkins, Esq., of Warrenton, being called upon, entertained the meeting in a very eloquent and stirring address. He described the present prosperous condition of the State under the administration of David S. Reid denounced in a masterly manner the clamors raised by the Whigs against the administration of Gen. Pierce exposed the fallacy and insincerity of their cries about Distribution of the Public Lands, and urged energy and concentration among Democrats as necessary to their success in this important crisis. It is hoped that the speech will do much towards harmonizing the party in this County as important to the success of our County elections as to those of tire State. The committee appointed to draft resolutions re ported through their Chairman, Wm. F. Green, the following, viz : ' Resolved., That we approve the proposition to hold a Convention in the City of Raleigh on the 19th of April next, for the purpose of nominating a Demo cratic candidate for Governor, arid that the Chairman . appoint fifty delegates to represent us in said Con vention. Resolved, That the lion. David S. Reid is entitled to the gratitude and high esteem of the people of. this State for the faithful and efficient manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office; and that we attribute the present growing and prosper ous condition of this commonwealth in a great meas ure to the influence of Democratic principles, which for the last four years have supplanted Whig policy. Resolved, That the administration of Franklin Pierce, our Chief Magistrate, has our hearty appro val, and adhering strictly, as he has done, to the principles laid down in the Baltimore platform and .avowed in his inaugural address, we feel assured that those principles, so ably and wisely administered, -cannot fail to secure the best interest of every sec tion of our beloved country. .

' 4 But I got hold of a Greensboro Patriot not long ago that argues that Free , Suffrage would : destroy the proper "checks and balances that to allow all to vote for Senaters as well as Commoners would render 2 Houses useless; and that the distincshun is necessary ' for good - government. Well, an't it 'strange that, the other 80 States of . the Union have 2 Houses and no land qualificashun ? I jest want to ax the Patriot if bur liberty is that sort that re quires political inequality to preserve it? If it is. I go for throwin it away and tryin' some other -sort Is that republicanism that requires 50 acres of land to make a-frecman? Is that freedom which . .is best kept by half the people? It looks to me like there is more "check" than "balance" in this. . Old aris tocracy musn't usurp the name of liberty in which to preach its principles of inequality. It musn't tell us it can preserve our lbreties better than we can ourselves. That doctrine may do in Europe, where they have kings and lords and all them sort of things ; but it won't go down here. Our fathers didn't fight for half representashun, nor agin whole taxashun. They were willing to pay taxes, but they wanted them taxes laid by their own represen tatives. But the elecshnn is comin' agin this year, and we may expect to hear Whig candidits loud in their profeshuns of love fof it. They went it strong jest before last elecshun, but afterwards they didn't want it, and did all they could to kill it Why, they sent a feller up through these parts I b'lieve his name was John Carr, and some folks sed he was runnin' for Governor that looked like he'd bust right wide open for Free Suffrage, and after a while he'd kinder forgit and sneer at it as " a hobby." He tried to roar like a lion, and tramped about while he .was speakin' like a mad bear chained to a post ; but the people seed he was only brayin' like'a jackass, and they didn't like him, for they didn't b'lieve he was sincere. I ruther guess that " hobby" gave him about as hard a kick as he ever got, though he has had a heap of them ; and if it don't kick Gen. Duck ery too I'm mistaken. Yourn till deth, PINEBUR MOCCASIN. TnE Wheat Export. The New York Economist has collated some interesting facts and figures in re ference to the Wheat export for the present year. Up to the end of the second week in February, the export of Wheat since the first of August last, was 20,104,357 bushels. The highest export year ever known was 1847, and compared with that, we have in six months, of 18534, exported four-fifths as much Wheat as In the whole of the famine year of 1847. Should the export continue at this rate ; and the supply in the country be equal to the demand, the export by the first of August next, will have reached 40,000,003 bushejs, an enormous aggregate which will go lir to prove" the vaunted ability of the United States to feed the world. Whether there is a sufficient quantity of wheat in the country to allow of the export of forty millions of bushels in one year, is a question which it will be difficult to determine, except by the continuance of the demand that has already so largely swelled the export. The census return of 1850 stated the wheat crop of that year at 104.79U.230. The cxjmrt of that year was but little over eight millions of bushels, and tha price advanced 20 cents. What the cr-p of 1853 was cannot be accurately ascertained, but it-is not supposed to have been greatly in advance of that of 1850. With an export of twenty millions of bush els in the first half of this year, the advance in price has been somewhere about seventy per cent. And" this extreme advance has produced its effect in bring ing in supplies from distant parts of the country that were heretofore almost out of market, and where the excess of the crop has been consumed in various ways. High prices have also no doubt, materially curtailed the home consumption in all parts of the country ; the farmer selling as much as possible of his crop, and the city consumer cutting down his wants to the lowest possible point. The extension of railroad facilities to parts of the country which, a few years ago were without them, has also opened to the market new sources of supply. These causes may explain the statements that come from the West of the immense amouflts of wheat stored there, and justify the expectation that notwithstanding the large winter delivery and the unprecedented export, the quantity coming forward this Spring will not be es sentially diminished in comparison with former years. Basing our expectations on the continuance of the war already commenced in Europe, and on the pro bability that the continental crop will be a short one, whilst the Black Sea country will cease to export, if not to grow, until that war is closed, there is rio rea son to doubt that there will be a continued and stea dy demand for our cereal products during the whole of the year. - Speculation may have anticipated the demand in the accumulation of immense stocks inv Europe, and advanced prices beyond what even the most warlike aspect of affairs will justify, and for this speculators may have to suffer loss where they expected gain. - But, of the mam fact that all the '. surplus product of the country will be needed to supply the European deficiency, and that the agri cultural interests of the-country will continue to be liberally and well sustained by the foreign demand, we see no reason to doubt . .

Britannia should first Jbe rubbed with a woolen cloth and sweet oil, and then washed in warm suds, and rubbed with soft, leather and whiting. Thus treated, it will retain its beauty to the last - ' ' New Iron should be gradually heated at first; after it has become inured to the heat it is not likely to crack. " . , . It is a good plan to put new earthern-wars into cold water and let it heat gradually until it boils '--then cool again. Brown earthern-ware, particularly,, may be toughed in this way. A handful of rye or brand thrown in while it is boiling, will preserve the glazing so that it will not be destroyed by acid or salt. Clean a brass kettle before using it for cooking with salt and vinegar. The oftener carpets are shaken the longer they wear; the dirt that collects under grinds out the threads. If you wish to preserve fine teeth, always clean them thoroughly utter you have eaten your last meal at night. Woolens should be washed in very hot suds, and not rinsed. Lukewarm water shrinks-them. i Do not wrap knives and forks in woolens. Wrap them in good strong paper. . Steel is injured by ly ing in woolens. - Suet keeps good all the year round if chopped and packed down in a stone jar, and covered with molas cs. .'-'-. Barley straw is the-best for beds,- dry husks slit? into shreds are better than straw. .---" --.v1-"- When molasses is used in cooking it is a capital improvement to boil and skim it before you use it. It takes out the unpleasant raw taste,. and makes it: almost as good as sugar. When - molasses is used much for cooking it is well to prepare one or two gallons at a time. ; . Tf Never allow ashes to be taken up in wood or put: into wood. Always have your matches and lamps ready in case of sudden alarm. Have importaut pa pers altogether, where you can lay your hand on them at once in case of lire. - Use hard soap to wash your clothes, and soft to wash your floors. Soft soap is so slippery that "it wastes a good deal in washing clothes." It is easy to have a supply of horse-radish all the winter. Have a quantity grated while the root is in perfection, put it in bottles, fill it with vinegar' and keep itcorked up tight. " - i ' : Before you make a friend, eat a peck of salt with him.
