that I shall not be able to do so in season for the oc
casion to which you so kindly invite me ; and whe
ther I shall find leisure for the visit within the time
prescribed, must, for the present rest upon the uncer
tainties of the future.
It' during niy services in the Senate, my humble
exertions contributed in the least degree to uphold
the catholic spirit of the Constitutioi,and to stay the
tide of black and bitter water which, swollen to mad
ness by the contributions of the fanatic and dema
trooue, threatened to overwhelm the rights of free,
soverei"n States, and subvert the very principles on
which This glorious confederacy was established, 1
have fulfilled my highest ambition, and am doubly
compensated by the approbation of my patriotic fel
low citizens. The conciousness too uf having dis
charged my duty during this crisis, affords me more
gratification than would the enjoyment of every office
known to the Constitution for the term of my natu
ral lite- It will strengthen my hands and animate
my heart through all the vicissitudes of my life, and
will contribute to give me hope and consolation in
the last great change which awaits humanity. In my
retirement from official responsibility, I have careful
ly reviewed my course during this eventful and peril
ous period, and aver with emphasis, before God and
man, that were it to be repeated, it should only be
changed by bringing greater vigilance and a more en
larged experience to my aid, and in awakening earli
er and watching with more sleepless zeal the dangers
which beset the Union, through assaults upon a por
tion of the States of the confederacy. Every day
serves to strengthen my convictions in the eternal
truth and justice of the opinions I have entertained,
and ujton which I have acted, and to assure me that
sectional pride and prejudice are gradually yielding
them place. But whether so or otherwise, I shall
neither change, modify or conceal them, to court fa
vor or regain public station; but repeat, that were 1
bow in the national legislature, and the fell spirit of
abolitionism should rear its snaky head in any form,
I would rax every faculty of my soul to deal it hea
vier and heartier blows, and to cover its treason with
blacket epithets than ever yet 1 have done. That I
have been withdrawn, from official responsibility and
honors, brings no regret and demands no reproacnes.
It is the fortune of the service into which I was ear
ly drawn, without solicitation on my part, and from
which it costs me far less emotion to retire, than it
did to leave my home and private pursuits to enter
upon it.
In the hope that the pure and genial spirit of de
mocracy, which knows no section of our common
country which abjures pharisaical pretension, and
leaves sovereign States unmolested to their own do
mestic regulations, and to their own responsibility,
may reassert its benign reign throughout the Union,
1 have the honor to be, with profound regard,
Your friend and fellow-citizen,

DEMOCRATIC MEETING lU DUPLIN
At a meeting of the democratic party of Duplin,
held at Kenansville on Tuesday the 20lh inst., the
following proceedings were had :
Major Owen R; Kenan was called to the chair,
and on motion ot W. E. Hill, Esq:, Benjamin F.
Grady was appointed secretary.
On motion, a committee of five was appointed by
the chair to draft resolutions for the action of the
meeting, consisting of David Reid, Dr. Jame3 G.
Dickson, Win. J. Houston, George Smith, and S. M.
Grady, Esqrs., who reporU-.d through David Reid,
Esq., the following preamble and resolutions, viz :
Whereas. It has been recommended by the De
mocratic National Committee that a convention of the
democratic party throughout the Union, by delegates
duly appointed, beheld in the city of Baltimore on
the first day of June, 1852, to nominate candidates
lor President and Vice President of lhe United
States,
Therefore, Eesolced, That we recommend that a
District Convention be held in the town of Wilming
ton on Thursday the 23d day of April next, to be
composed of delegates appointed by the Democrats in
lhe several counties in this Congressional District,
for the purpose of appoiniing a delegate to said Na
tional Convention.
.Resolved, That this meeting appoint fifteen dele
gates to represent this county in said Convention.
Resolved, That the Democratic party of Duplin
Btands firm by its ancient and honored principles
Stales rights free trade economy in the adminis
tration of the government, equal concession to the
rights and interests of each member of the confeder
acy, and the largest liberty to the citizen ; and by these
principles we will sland or fallT
Resolved, That this meeting regards James Bu
chanan as the preference of the State of North Ca
ro ina for the Presidency but will lend our hearty
support to the nominee of the National Convention.
Resolved, That the State of North Carolina has
heretofore modestly withheld from pressing the claims
which she has upon the democracy of the Union, but
we feel now that something is due to her, and that
in the Hon. Robert Strange she possesses a son en
titled to the consideration of the democratic party for
the office of Vice President.
inte grity of the Hon. David S. Reid, and in his sound
Resolved, That we have unabated confidence in the
political policy, and we respecttully recommend him
to the people of North (.arolina tor re-election.
On motion of Col. John E. Hussey the question
was put upon the adoption of said resolutions and
passed unanimously.
During the absence of the committee, William E.
Hill, ESq., being called upon, addressed the meeting
in an eloquent and forcible speech of some length, !
which was received with great applause.
The following gentlemen were named by the chair
as delegates to attend the District Convention in Wil
mington on the 23d April next, viz: James Pearsall,
George Smith, James Dickson, Hampton Sullivan,
David Sloan, Stephen Graham, Wm. E. Hill. James
H. Jerman, Cornelius McMillan, William R. Ward,
Dr. Ja',es W. Blount, Bryan VV. Herring, William
J. Houston, Joshua N. Loftin, William Farrier and
David Reid.
On motion, the chairman and secretary were added
to the list of delegates.
On motion of James B. Monk, Esq., it was
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be
signed by the chairman and secretary, and forwarded
to the Democratic presses of the Slate with a request
that they be published.
On motion of Dr. J. G. Dickson, the meeting ad
journed. O. R. KENAN, Chairman.
B. F. Grady, Secretary.
Judge Strange for the Vice Presidency. We
have undersood, though we have not seen the pub
lished proceedings, that a meeting of the democracy
of Duplin county was held during the last week, be
ing the week of County Court, and that the Hon.
Robert Strange was recommended by it as a candi
date tor the Vice Presidency of the United States.
The endorsement of any man by the sterling democ
racy of Duplin, would alone be a hith recoinmenda-
j tion, and we tejoice that the first popular movement
in tavor ot this distinguished gentleman and eminent
statesman comes from them. Let the democracy of
North Carolina come forward and claim what is their
due, at the hands of the great Democratic Party of
the Country. Dops not tha Parly owe us something
for the high position in which we have placed our
State, redeemed as it now is from the misrule of the
Whig party? Judge Strange's qualifications for
the Vice Presidency are unquestionable. Were
; he chosen to nil that high office, he would reflect lus
! ire upon North Carolina. Let our feilow democrats
: in their respective county meetings soon to be held
iiirougnoui me oiaie, nut express iiteir preierences
in this matter, and their voice will be heard and heed
ed by the great Democratic Party.

Exaggeration. If there be any one mannerism
that is universal among mankind, it is that of colo
ring too highly the things we describe. We cannot
be content wiih a simple relation of truth, we must
exaggerate, we must have a little too much red in
the brush." Who ever heard of a dark night that
was not " pitch dark 1" of a stout man that was not
44 as strong as a horse?" or of a miry Road that was
not 44 up to the knee ?" We would walk 4 fifty miles
on foot" to see that man that never carricaiures lhe
subject on which he speaks. But where is such a
man to be found ? From rosy morn4 to dewy eve,"
in our conversation we are constantly outraging the
truth. If somewhat wakeful in the night we have
scarcely had a wink ot sleep ;" if our sleeves get a
lillle damp in a shower, we are as 44 wet as if dragged
through a brook ;" if a breeze blow up while we are
in the 44 chops of the channel" lhe waves are sure to
44 run mountain high ;" and if a man grow rich we
all say he4 rolls in money." No later than yester
day a friend who would shrink from wilful misrepre
sentations, told us hastily, as he passed, that the
newspaper had 44 nothing but advertisements."
How about that 44 fifty miles on foot" ? This world
is given to exaggeration.
Cheap Newspapers. 44 Cheap and good," has.a
very attractive sound for most ears, but the terms are
hardly convertible; for, in almost every case, what is
gained in reduction of price, is, somewhere, lost in
quality. To make an article really good, there must
he good material and good workmanship; and these
always command a fair price. This is as true in re
gard lo newspapers as anything else. It is therefore
as impossible lo make a really good newspaper at a
Mtery low price, as it is to make good lurmture. i nere
ffnst, in the nature of things, be poor material and
the absence of superior talent, for both of these com
mand fair prices.
Of all instances of doubtful economy practised" by
very many persons, we think that the most unprofita
ble which leads to the choice of a paper for family
reading, because it offers itself to public favor on lhe
mere claim of cheapness. What are fifty cents, or a
dollar a rear, compared to lhe moral and intellectual
well being of a whole family ? Here, if anywhere,
one would think that quality should be the first con
sideration; for cheapness may prove the roost fatal
economy.
Dr. Togno. We regret to learn that ouresiee.ued
friend, Dr. Togno, met with severe injury at the
hands of a negro in his employ at Diccoteaux, on
yesterday morning. It seems that the negro neg
lected his work, and on being reprimanded, became
insolent, whereupon lhe Dr. struck him slightly,
when the negro turned and with a hoe or implement,
gave the Doctor a blow on the forehead and another
on the back part of his head. The Doctor finally
succeeded in grasping the fellow by his arms and
wresting the hoe from him, when with the aid of an
assistant (a white man) he was secured, and is now
in jail. The negro ii owned in Fayetteville, we be
lieve. The Doctor's injuries are severe, but we trust nol
so serious as at first supposed. He has the sympa
thy of the public in his misfortune.

A Russian lady, being engaged to dinner with M,
de Talleyrand, at that lime minister for foreign af
fairs, was detained a full hour by some unexpected
accident. The famished guests grumbled and looked
at their watches. On the lady's entrance, one of the
company observed to his neighbour in Greek-44 When
a woman is neither young nor handsome, she ought to
arrive betimes." The lady, turning round, sharply
accosted the satirist in the same language : 44 When
a woman," said she, 44 has the misfortune to dine
with savages, she always arrives too eoon."
The Ensvino Campaign. Important Election are
to take place this year. Besides our State elections
we have that for President and Vice President of the
Union. Already the notes of preparation fat the cTotnf
ing struggle are beginning to be heard. Each pirry
is endeavoring to organize its forces for the contest?
and while harmony and unanimity characterize the
Democratic party, our opponents are split up and di
vided, and all at sea, without chart or compass, or
even a " principle.
A State Convention will he held by the Democrats
some time in April or May, to nominate a candidate
tor Governor, and also to appoint Delegates to the
National Convention to beheld at Baltimore in June.
We have no doubt our present worthy Executive will
again be lhe standard bearer of his party ; and with
proper vigilance and activity on the part of his friends,
we have nodouht of his re-election. But it is ne
cessary that we should be vigilant, for our opponents
will make a desperate struggle to regain their losses.
It is desirable that the contemplated Convention
should be as full as convenient, thai all portions of
the State may be heard. And why cannot the Re
publicans of old Rutherford hold a meeting and ap
point Delegates 1 We hope they will, and would
suggest that such a meeting be held on Saleday in
March, or earlier. Let all the friends of Free Suffrage
and popular .rights all that are opposed to a high
Tariff, a United Stales Bank, and a loose. construc
tion of the Constitution, meet at the Court House in
Rutherford ton, and take such measures as they may
think proper. Let us be up and doing, that our
mountain voice may be heard in the Convention.
Every county in the State ought to be represented,
and we hope will be.
There is much at stake. Let the so-called Whig
party again obtain the ascendency in the State, and
we will venture the assertion that the people will
never obtain free Suffrage under its administration.
We have no doubt the defunct " unrestricted Conven
tion"" question will be resuscitated ; for it is only by
some panic, or some popular excitement that the
leaders of that party can hope for success. Let lhe
people be watchful, and not suffer their minds to be
diverted from the rtfa! objects in view.
The old issues between the Whig and Democratic
Darties have been conceded by lhe former ; and it is
! only for the sake of self that lhe leaders of that party
endeavor to keep up the sepa al on. Let the people
uican vi y ihium- . f
fice, and think and act for themselves. Free Suf
frage is now half achieved, and we feel confident that
the masses will never suffer it to slip back to the old
notch, no matter what pretenses may be held out to
them. Trust not those who make a gratuitous prof
fer of more than you ask for.
Mountain Banner.
The Dean Cottos. In the sales of the past week
we notice seven bales of this colton at ten and a half
All whn have tried this cotton, find it to pos
sess such superior advantages that they now plant
!no other. In July last, a letter from a merchant' in
Boston says this cotton was then wortn is cents a
pound in that market. Last year, when colton com
manded a higher price, sixty bales of this were sold
in Boston for twenty-four cents a pound. A manu
facturing house of Massachusetts, by whom this
cotton lias been thoroughly tested, has rent an agent
to the State, who is now in the interior endeavoring
to buy all he can find. The staple of this colton is ;
said to resemble that of the Sea Island, and the fa
bric made of it is probably often mistaken for Sea
Island. This cotton possesses the following ad
vantages in addition to its superior quality : The pro
duct per acre is full as much or more ; the bolls are
larger, each boll having five divisions, while oilier
cotton has but four, the quantity of cotton in each
boll is more in proportion to its superior size; a hand
can pick about one third more of it in the same time.
This last advantage is one of no little importance,
and has been fully established, as we learn, by fair
experiment. This is owing to the large amount of
cotton to the boll, and to the greater length of the
staple, making it quicker to be handled by the picker.
There is a great demand for the seed of this colton,
which will probably supersede the ordinary kind
throughout the State.

the English Government against allowing Kossuth

tions were exacted of them, and even if there had
been Turkey has now no power to enforce them.
England has hitherto been open to exiles from every
nation. She has refused over and over again to giv
them up, or to refuse Ihem an asylum. Shn is not
likely to belie her whole past history and character,
for the sake of re-establishing friendly relations be
tween Austria and the Turkish Porte.
No mention has ever before been made, so far as
we remember, of any such condition as thi3 being
I f.(F'x,i(.l? Kossuth's liberation. Certainly the Eng-
lish Minister at Constantinople never gave his assent
to any stipulation that Kossuth should not visit Eng
land. Nrw York Times.
Kossuth Coming South, ii is said that afiei his
visit to Pittsburg, Governor Kossuth will proceed to
Columbus, Cincinnati, St. Luuisaud New Orleans,
slopping at several intermediate places. He will
then, in turn, visit Mobile, Savannah and Charles
ton. Whence he will proceed by water to New York,
ascend the Hudson to Albany. From there, again
westward, he will go to Buffalo and Niagara Fulls,
and by the way of the lake, Ogdensburgand Vermont,
will repair to IJosion, where he will remain until he
embarks for Europe. Such is at present bis contem
plated route, though circumstances may occur to
change or modify it. He hopes to be able to be in
Bos'on in March or April, though the exact time is
uncertain, and he may be prevented altogether, by
movements in Europe rendering his earlier departure
necessary.
While he will be received with all due courtesy by
the people of the South, we imagine be will find that
although they may respect the man, 'they repudiate
his doctrines.
The Norfolk Bank Robbery Recovery nf som,
oj the
ooen fmptrty Jlrreala, Q'c.
Norfolk, Jan. 27. The robbery of the Portsmouth
Bank continues lo be still involved in mystery, lliuugh
sufficient has transpired to render il certain that the
perpetrators were old and experienced burglars. Some
slight traces of their movements have been discover
ed. A quantity of plate deposited by Mr. Wilson,
of this cily, in-tbe vaults of the bank, was found se
creted under a tree, and a short distance off a lot of
burglars' tools were discovered deposited under a log.
Several suspected, parlies have been examined, and
the eviden?e against one man, named Bland, was
deemed sufficient!' strong to justify his comrnital for
further examination. Several others are in jail await
ing an examination.
But little is doing in the way of business, our riv
ers and the canal being still" closed with ice.
New York, Jan. 29. Mr. and Mrs. Forrest on the

that she is to appear at his Lyceum on Monday eve
ning next. It is not mentioned whether she appears
in tragedy or comedy. There is a rumor afloat that
Mr. Fori est will appear next week at the Broadway
Theatre.
Boston, Jan. 29. The Abolitionists and Kossuth.

the influence of the slave power, as fatal lo his pre
tensions, and treason against human rights.

TOLERATION OF OPINION. 7 ,
Though in matter of faith we can't always agree.
And kneel at one alta'r together,
- Yet in friendship and love we united may be,
Or our practice is not worth a feather.
- Like the lee, whose philosophy, truthful indeed,- , :
Invites it eacb blossom to rifle.
Let us honor what's noble and good in each creed.
Not with conscience and honesty trifle.
How much better and wiser the world might become,
Would partisans cease their contention ;
Would the censor but pause, and the bigot be dumb,
Nor strengthen the words of dissennon ;
But love one another.as brothers and men.
In works of pure charity labor
Be true to the. faith they profess, and again,
Respect the same right in their neighbor.
