THE STAR Raleigh, March 26, 1835. CONVENTION. —The election on the subject of the Convention will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, the 1st and 2d days of April. Those in favor of the measure will vote "CONVENTION," and those opposed to it "NO CONVENTION."
France. —By reference to our "Foreign" head, the reader will perceive that our last intelligence from France is even more auspicious to an amicable adjustment of the difference between that nation and our Government, than the previous accounts, which were given in our last paper. It will be seen that the proceedings of the Senate in relation to the subject, had reached Paris, and produced the most favorable effect upon the public mind. Indeed, the passage of the Indemnity Bill was considered almost certain.
State Bank of North Carolina. —It will be seen, by reference to notices published in to-day's Star, that the stockholders of this institution have declared another dividend, of eight dollars per share, on their capital stock; and that, preparatory to winding up its concerns, they request all holders of their notes to present them for payment without further delay.
Judge White's Speech. —We lay before our readers, to-day, the Speech of Judge White, of Tennessee, on Executive Patronage. As this gentleman may now be considered a prominent candidate for the Presidency, his opinions on so important a subject will doubtless be examined with considerable interest by the public.
Dodging. —It will be recollected that the Report of the committee appointed to investigate the charges against Senator Poindexter in relation to the attempted assassination of the President, (composed of friends and opponents of the Administration,) was unanimously concurred in by all the Senators present—41. On examining the list of those who voted, we do not find the names of Messrs. Benton and Brown. Why were these gentlemen absent on the occasion? Had they not sufficient magnanimity to award sheer justice to a political opponent—one who's innocence was as apparent as the noon-day sun?
Supreme Court. —The Supreme Court of this State closed its Winter Term on Saturday last, after a session of nearly three months.
By REYES, Chief Justice, in the case of Downey v. Murphy, from Granville; judgment reversed and new trial granted. Also, in the case of Gill v. Weaver, in Equity, from Iredell; decree affirming the defendant Weaver, as against the plaintiff, and confirming the decree of the Chancellor. Also, in the case of the executors of William Gill, and putting the estate of the deceased and the other defendants to their election in respect to the negroes, Phoebe and Linda, bequeathed to Caroline J. Weaver by said William Gill. Also, in the case of Clarke v. Clarke, in Equity, from Beaufort; pronouncing a final decree for plaintiff. Also, in the case of the Attorney General v. the Bank of Newbern and the Cape Fear Bank, in Equity, from Wake; reversing the decree below and confirming the bills. Also, in the case of the executors v. Calhoun, from Iredell; affirming the judgment below. By GASTON, Judge, in the case of Allen and Mychoff v. State Bank, in Equity, from Wake; decree for plaintiffs. Also, in the case of State Bank v. Knox et al. in Equity, from Pasquotank; decree for defendants. Also, in the case of Magrath v. State Bank, from Granville; affirming the decree heretofore pronounced, in some respects, and reversing it in others. Also, in the case of Jones v. Jones, in Equity, from Johnston; awarding a perpetual injunction with costs.
By DIXON, Judge, in the case of Armstead v. Stewart, in Equity, from Washington; decreeing in favor of the plaintiff and directing a reference.
By ROSS, J. et al. v. Washington's ex'rs, in Equity, from Granville; final decree. Perry, ex'rs. v. Maxwell, in Equity, from Franklin; final decree.
It seems, by the following paragraph taken from the last Hillsborough Recorder, that we were mistaken last week, in stating that the individual, arrested in Orange county as the murderer of Porteus, had been set at liberty:
"An individual was taken up and committed to the jail in this place some two or three weeks since, on suspicion of being the murderer of Alexander P. Porteus, who was killed on Cox's Mountain, Tennessee, in November last. We have hitherto declined making mention of the fact, under the impression that a more thorough investigation would have been had. The name of the murderer was supposed to be John Callan; this individual calls himself John Campbell, is a tailor by trade, and in some respects answers to the description given of the murderer. He acknowledges that he knew Porteus, but denies being his murderer. He is still in jail here, awaiting further developments."
The frigate Constitution sailed from New York on the 15th instant, with orders to stop at Havre; and if our relations were of an amicable character, to proceed forthwith to the Mediterranean; if otherwise, to return with Mr. Livingston and family.
A Mammoth Sheet. —The New York Courier and Enquirer of the 7th instant is printed on a sheet 4 feet 7 inches long, and 3 feet 11 inches broad. It contains 64 columns, an amount of matter equivalent to eight volumes of the ordinary sized newspapers, and is decidedly the largest newspaper ever published in this country—probably in the world.
Office Holders versus The People. —In the approaching Presidential contest, the struggle will be between the office-holders, a class of men who live at their ease and batten upon the public treasury, and the people. The issue is already made up. Mr. Van Buren, a man who "has been every thing by turns, and nothing long," is now openly held up as the candidate of the office-holders and office-hunters, who are leagued together against the people; and they have commenced the war with uncommon vigor and activity. Their press teem with honied presentations & bitter inuendo on the other; and their drill-sergeants are out, under false colors, upon the recruiting service in every section of the country. For the purpose of deceiving the unwary, they have artfully hung out the ensign of "Democracy," and at several of the Court Houses, or little county towns, in this State, they have succeeded in enlisting small companies, under the name of "Democratic Meetings;" of which the Halifax meeting, described in our last, affords a fair sample.
Is it not time for the PEOPLE to arouse themselves to action? By remaining too long inert, they may give the enemy a triumph. In consequence of the neglect of the proper means of defence, a handful of foreign mercenaries once possessed themselves of the Capital of this vast Republic, and reduced her public edifices to ashes. A giant, who sleeps in false security, may be felled by a pigmy, and robbed of all he holds dear or valuable; but "when a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace." Let the people look to this; and let them remember that there are upwards of 100,000 treasury pap eaters, with their unnumbered hordes of dupes and dependents, who may be brought into the field against them at a single tap of the drum.
Another British Outrage on American Property. —The brig Enterprise, Capt. Smith, which sailed from Alexandria, D. C. on the 22d January, for Charleston, S. C. with 78 slaves, belonging to a Mr. Simpson, was driven into Bermuda, by stress of weather, on the 11th February; where, through the interference of a society composed of colored persons, a writ of Habeas Corpus was issued by the Chief Justice; and, notwithstanding the protest of Capt. Smith, the slaves were forcibly taken from on board his vessel, and carried before the Chief Justice, who ordered them to be set at liberty. Captain Smith was also thrown into prison, where he was kept several days, and his vessel libelled. One negro woman, with four children, chose to remain on board, and returned in the vessel, which arrived at Charleston a few days ago.
Barbary. —The most brutal, horrid and cowardly murders were committed at St. Mary's, Georgia, on the 18th ultimo. It appears that the daughter of a man called Tom King married a Mr. Wm. Casey, contrary to the wishes of her father; upon which Casey resolved to destroy the whole King family; and, for the purpose of accomplishing his diabolical design, he took his four sons and two other ruffians, named Rouse and Went, in the night, to the house of John Casey, forced open the door and commenced stabbing, in the most savage manner, every person there, both male and female. Old Mrs. Casey and a Mr. Demott were dangerously wounded; and Nancy Casey, with an infant at her breast, Baldwin Casey and James Scott were massacred. The young married couple, fortunately, happened to be at the house of a neighbor. All the murderers, except one of old King's sons, have been arrested. Some were taken immediately, and the others some days after near Jacksonville, Florida.
Public Lands. —The following extract from the Circular of the Hon. JAMES GRAHAM, the able and independent Representative of the 12th Congressional district of this State, presents a very sound and forcible view of the subject of the Public Lands, and condenses within a small compass a great deal of important information, which cannot fail to be highly interesting and useful to the people:
"A question of deep and abiding importance to the people of all the States, arises now with regard to the future disposition of the public lands. The public debt is paid, and the money arising from the sales of the public lands, being upwards of four millions of dollars annually, is no longer needed in the Treasury, which is now full, and running over, from duties on foreign importations. One proposition is to give the new States all the public lands within each of their limits. Another is to reduce the price of the public lands for a time, and then give the unsold lands to the new States. This proposition has the outside of a sale, but the inside of a gift; for that it aims and comes at last. That we may understandingly decide these propositions, and all others of kindred character, let us take a brief retrospect of the ways and means by which the United States acquired title and right to the public domain. After the revolutionary war was over, and peace restored to the American States, liberty had won a glorious victory, but incurred a heavy debt in the arduous struggle. The public treasury was empty, and the resources of the country were exhausted. In this critical and embarrassing situation North Carolina, ever true to that independence which she had first proclaimed and sternly sustained, generously ceded all that valuable and extensive territory now the State of Tennessee to the General Government, "as a common fund for the use and benefit of the United States."
And the resources of the country were exhausted. In this critical and embarrassing situation North Carolina, ever true to that independence which she had first proclaimed and sternly sustained, generously ceded all that valuable and extensive territory now the State of Tennessee to the General Government, "as a common fund for the use and benefit of the United States."
Virginia, and some of the other States, made similar bestowments. Georgia, at a subsequent period, sold her wild lands to the United States for one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The United States have repeatedly purchased and paid large sums of money to the different Indian tribes for extensive tracts of territory. They have likewise purchased and paid large sums of money to France for Louisiana, and to Spain for Florida. The whole of the purchase money for all these public lands amounts to about fifty millions of dollars. North Carolina has always paid her full proportion. Notwithstanding you have contributed so long and so liberally, it is now proposed by a party of politicians to give away all this vast landed estate, costing us so many millions, to a few of the new States; to the exclusion of the old States; and thereby, those who have paid most will receive least, and those who have paid least will get most. Against this left-handed policy and rank inequality I decidedly protest. I cannot approve such partial legislation. No. Equality is equity; and the people of every State in the family of this republican Union should have a child's part share and share alike—equal distribution. I hold the proposition too clear to be controverted, that the public lands are just as much the common property of us all as the public money in the common treasury.
"The new States now receive five per cent. on all the moneys arising from the sales of public lands in their boundaries, for internal improvements. They are also allowed every sixteenth section of public land, for common schools. Besides, some of the new States have received from the General Government liberal and valuable donations of public lands, for education; yes, four hundred thousand acres a gift, worth at least one million of dollars. These very liberal extra allowances, so far from satisfying them, has only animated their importunities, and increased their unjust demands. When did North Carolina receive such a boon from the General Government? Never, never! Such appropriations and grants of public land, given to improve our public roads and educate the poor children, would raise the drooping head and gladden the heart of many a poor parent, and develop native talents, now growing to waste, and buried in obscurity, for the want of cultivation. So far, fellowcitizens, from obtaining good gifts, we are denied the fair participation in our just and equal rights. Contributions are levied, and taxes are collected from us, to buy public land, but we are not permitted to reap the harvest we have sown, and to enjoy the fruits of our own industry; we pay money to buy land for other people, and that is the key which unlocks the secret why the old States are impoverished, while the new ones are enriched."
"The people of North Carolina, upon a fair division of the moneys proceeding from the sale of the public lands, would receive upwards of three hundred thousand dollars every year. That amount of money, judiciously applied and expended annually in making public roads, and educating the poor children, or constructing such necessary buildings as public justice might require, (thereby lessening the burdens and increasing the blessings of the people) would spread abroad in the State a redeeming spirit, and rescue us from that exhaustion and impoverishment which we too often behold in the decaying tenements and roofless houses, the deserted farms and old wastefields disfigured with deep scars. These saddening scenes admonish us there is something wrong in the policy pursued towards us; and I invoke every friend of equal rights to reflect seriously upon this great subject which is hereafter to occupy so large a share of public attention."
Judge White. —The Knoxville (Tennessee) Register furnishes the following memorandum of the early history of the Hon. HUGH L. WHITE:
"Hugh L. White was born October 50th, 1773, in Iredell county, North Carolina (then Rowan county); when about 7 or 8 years of age, his father moved to Cripple Creek, Wythe county, Virginia, and lived there a few years, from thence he moved to the neighborhood of Knoxville, Tenn. When a mere lad, Hugh L. White was engaged in most of Sevier's campaigns against the Cherokee Indians and was distinguished for his bravery, hardihood, and sagacity in that partisan warfare. Under the influence of Col. Charles McClung, who had recently come from Pennsylvania, and who had married his sister, and observed decided evidence of talent in young White, his father was induced to send him to Pennsylvania to finish his education and study the profession of law. He completed his education at some institution in Philadelphia, where Congress was then in session, and where he then attracted the notice and obtained the friendship of that distinguished patriot and republican, Nathaniel Macon of North Carolina—After completing his education in Philadelphia, he went to Lancaster in Pennsylvania, and studied the profession of law under Mr. Hopkins, then an eminent lawyer of that place."
The late Jared Ingersoll. —The following trait of character was related to us when young in life, by a contemporary at the bar, of the estimable and distinguished jurist, whose name appears at the head of this article. Mr. Ingersoll was remarkable for his attention to the business of his profession, and for his aversion to put off to another day that which could be attended to as well at the present time. When a
child he used to call upon him counsel upon some new case, and would say to him, "Mr. Ingersoll, when will you be at leisure to hear the particulars of this general answer was, "now." Unless some urgent matter demanded his attention at the moment, he was always ready to give it. A most important business transaction beginning to be talked of, he was found in this short dialogue. "Tens of the trouble, confusion, and hurry, which some people are always in, arises from their putting off till tomorrow matters that ought to be attended to to-day. It is not true, that you can first pass half past the corner, if you can first pass half past the corner, as people sometimes tell a child when he asks what o'clock it is. Time that has once passed the corner, can never be overtaken, and any thing that can as well be performed to-day, as at a future time, is deprived of one of the chances of its accomplishment that can never be restored."
An observance of the maxim here inculcated is very important in the answering of letters. The prompt man of business, who makes it a rule to reply to a letter immediately on its receipt, or as soon after as the nature of its contents will admit, never offends others, and is never borne down with the weight of his correspondence. The procrastinator, on the other hand, is constantly giving offense by neglecting other people's business, or by slighting the requirements of friendship, and is besides often obliged to resort to whole paragraphs of lame apology, and sometimes to falsehood to conceal what his correspondent very soon learns how to place to the proper account. And besides all this, his unanswered letters are constantly haunting him, and operate like a dead weight upon his comfort.—Phil. Gaz.
Forensic Relate. —A singular occurrence took place a few days since, in one of our courts of justice, admirably illustrative of the genius of our country and the independence of our bar. In the course of a trial, a young and very talented lawyer, in examining a witness asked a question which the Judge considered improper and would not suffer to be put. In the progress of the cause, the Judge took occasion to ask the very question of the witness which he had interdicted to the counsel whereupon that gentleman rose and respectfully protested against the question being put, on the ground of his having been prevented doing so by the bench. Sir, said the Judge, rather an-terly, I shall put whatever question I think proper in my court. Your court, Sir, replied the barrister, I deny it to be so; it is my client's court; it is my court; it is the people's court, and not yours. It is unnecessary to add that the Judge seeing the correctness of the remark, bowed with silent courtesy to the rebuke, and the cause proceeded.—N. Y. Courier.
The qualifications of a SPEAKER are thus described by a member of the British House of Commons in 1597: "For he that supplieth this place ought to be a man big and comely stately and well spoken; his voice great, his courage majestic, his nature hangely, and his purse plentiful and heavy; but, contrarily, the stature of my body is small, myself not so well spoken, my voice low, my carriage lawyer like, and of the common fashion; my nature soft and bashful; my purse thin, light, and never yet plentiful."

THIRD YEAR, PARLEY'S MAGAZINE. No. 1. To be published 14th March, and continued regularly every fortnight.
The unexampled success of this Juvenile Work, which now circulates in every State and Territory of the Union, has encouraged the publisher to renew exertions in making it all that polished parents and teachers could reasonably expect for the amusement and instruction of youth. Whatever can be devised to improve the style and beauty of the work, and more especially to make it useful, shall be constantly introduced. A finer paper will be used, and each number will be stitched in a beautiful cover. It is important to remark, that this Magazine has become a great favorite with the parents and teachers who have discovered that its interesting matter, and its spirited and appropriate engravings, added to the circumstance of its coming every fortnight fresh from the press, in convenient and beautiful numbers, is unique in its kind, and unusually attractive to young readers. It is read with avidity and pleasure, and the object of education, so far as it relates to understanding what is read, and acquiring at the same time valuable knowledge, for the forming taste for reading, is better accomplished by this interesting periodical, than by any means hitherto attempted. Teachers undoubtably recommend it as use and importance in the most unqualified manner, and are exerting the utmost to increase its circulation.
The introduction of Juvenile Music into the work was a bold idea, and from the fact that each one of its highest possible commendations. To render this in the greatest degree useful and acceptable, we have secured the aid of one of the most distinguished masters of the art. Some of the early numbers of the third volume will contain a varied description of the most approved method of teaching the science, giving illustrations, &c. &c. To those who are yet unacquainted with Parley's Magazine, some of the interesting topics that it presents are briefly stated: 1. Natural History—Of beasts, birds, fishes, reptiles, insects, plants, flowers, trees, the human frame, &c. &c. 2. Biography—Especially of youth. 3. Geography—Accounts of places, manners, customs, &c. 4. History—Principally of our own country. 5. Voyages, Travels—In various parts of the world. 6. Lively descriptions of the Curiosities of Nature and Art. 7. Juvenile Music, and Poetry—Both adapted to the youth, feelings and capacity. 8. Lessons on Objects that daily surround Children in the Parlor, Nursery, Field, &c. 9. Duties of Youth—to parents, teachers, brothers, sisters, &c. 10. Bible Lessons and Stories. 11. Narratives—Such as are well authenticated—Original Tales. 12. Parables, Fables, and Proverbs, where moral is obvious and good.
Many of the subjects are illustrated by beautiful Engravings, so as to improve the taste, cultivate the mind, and raise the affections. We would make better children, better brothers, better sisters, better associates, and, in the end, better citizens. A Publishing House will be established in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and the Magazine will be published in each City simultaneously, and the proprietors have much confidence in believing that their arrangements are such as will give satisfaction. The work being stereotyped, the two volumes issued can be had when desired at a subscription price, in four parts, and can be sent per mail at the same rate as the numbers. Each volume will be adorned of the principal bookshelves, neatly bound in full cloth, for one dollar. Those subscribers who have paid for the first or second volume, and have not received all the numbers, can be supplied free of charge on application to the subscriber, post paid, and the publisher can have this volume neatly bound for twenty-five cents, on application to the Publisher. The volume will be divided into four parts as heretofore, and the title page will be given at the end of each part, and at the close of the volume a beautiful Engraving and Title Page, with full Table of Contents for the whole.
Those who may prefer the Magazine in quarterly parts, neatly put up with cloth backs, can be accommodated at the same price and at the same rate of postage. Terms—One dollar a year, in advance; 50 cents for 2 dollars. 12 numbers, three quarters of a year, if under 160 miles, one quarter of a year only for the greatest distance. SAMUEL COLEMAN, Successor to Lillie, Waverly Co. Boston, Feb. 12, 1835.

POETRY.
THE POOR MAN. What man is poor? not he whose brow Is bathed in Heaven's own light, Whose knee to God alone must bow, And whose heart is in the right.
Go—let the proud his gems behold, And view their sparkling ray,— No silver vase or yellow gold Can banish care away.
What man is poor? not he whose brow Is wet with Heaven's own dew, Who breathes to God the heartfelt vow, Whose pledge is deep and true.
And there is music in his ear, In the glad voice of his child, His wife with hurried step draws near, And put out modesty aside.
Code of Honor. —There is one feature in the Mexican laws which we should be glad to see adopted in all parts of the world where duelling prevails. It is, that if a person kills another in a duel, he becomes responsible for all the debts of the deceased. It can hardly be conceived that a sane man would challenge another merely because he was involved, and wished, at the expense of life, to discharge his debts. On the other hand, it would form a good reason to decline acceptance of a challenge, that it might involve other hazards than the loss of blood. There is much justice also, in the provision for the surviving duelist, having taken the life of his antagonist, has of course deprived him of the gratification of paying his honest debts.
Mount Vernon. —A writer in a late number of the New York Mirror, in an article descriptive of Mount Vernon, says, "these grounds should be the property of the nation, never to be sold; but kept as a summer residence of the President of the United States; of course, a place where all could visit without trespassing on private property, which is now done to the annoyance of its owners."
This is an excellent idea. Mount Vernon is the spot where Washington lived in tranquility after retiring from the cares and turmoil of public life. It is the hallowed spot where the remains of the Father of his Country are deposited, and its sight will always awaken feelings of patriotism, and kindle pure delight in the bosom of every lover of Liberty. Mount Vernon should belong to the country; and then every American who makes a pilgrimage to the banks of the Potomac, could claim that as a right, which he now asks as a favor, to wander over the grounds of Mount Vernon, and ponder on the mighty events of the past, while standing before the TOMB OF WASHINGTON.
Profligacy. —The population of Munich, the capital city of Bavaria, in Germany, is said to amount to 95,000, and that it has been greatly increased by the number of illegitimate children born during the last year. It appears, from the returns of the public institutions, that in the last twelve months the number of illegitimate children exceeded that of the legitimate by about one-third!
Lupus Digitalis. —In balloting for Printer, in U. S. Senate, Dr. Linn, of Missouri, in the heat of the engagement, instead of his ballot, deposited a check for 500 dollars, which he had just received from the Sergeant at Arms. Such a vote, under a "hard money Government," would be entitled to great weight.
Encouragement to Bachelors. —Marriage is held in such high repute at the remote settlement of the Galena lead mines, that the young men have formed themselves into an Hymeneal society, and established a set of premiums to the first members that enter into the bonds of wedlock. A suit of clothes, value $60, to the first; another, $50, to the second, and $45 to the third.
Tracts for Sale. —The Tract Society of the City of Raleigh, which is auxiliary to the American Tract Society, has on hand, at the Store of John Promenade, on Fayetteville street, a good assortment of most valuable tracts and other Tracts, for sale at the usual low prices.
LOOK AT THIS! —As the subscriber is very anxious to close his business in Raleigh, he requests all those indebted to him, either by note or account, to call and make immediate payment, as his stay is but short in this country, and further indulgence cannot be given.

TO PRINTERS.
The publication of the "North Carolina Spectator and Western Advertiser," and the printing business connected with it, for some time under the Editorial management of Mr. Russell Palmer, Jr., being about to be relinquished by him, for some other pursuit, it becomes necessary to engage the services of another competent individual to take charge of the concern. The Press is an excellent super-royal, eastern Washington or Best Press, equal to any in the State, to which is attached Composition Rollers and fixtures. The type consists of fonts of 12-point, 10-point, 8-point, 6-point, 5-point, 4-point, 3-point, 2-point, 1-point, and 1 1/2-point. Double Small Pica, 10-point together with a complete assortment of Job type, Cuts, Rules, &c. &c. carefully selected and suited to the business of a country printing office, all nearly new and in good condition. The Spectator has enjoyed a liberal patronage, and has now a quite respectable list of subscribers, and an extensive and probable circle of job work. It is proposed to leave it, for a term of one or more years. To one who combines practically a knowledge of printing, with capacity for the Editorial management of the concern, this would doubtless be a profitable situation. It may not be amiss to say, that the political course and principles hitherto supported by the "Spectator," have been those of the "Jeffersonian school," and it is believed a majority of this community entertaining the same principles would be found in its patronage. A continuance or a departure from them—Early application is desirable to G. WALTON. RIM. BRYAN. J. F. BARNETT. THOS. DEWS JR. J. M. D. CARSON. Rutherfordton, Feb. 13, 1835.

The location is one of the best in the city, and admirably calculated for the accommodation of merchants and strangers visiting the city.

It has had several years' experience in the best hotels in the United States, and feels a great confidence in being able to give general satisfaction to all who may favor him with their patronage, and pledges himself that nothing shall be wanting on his part, and that nothing will be omitted to make the stay of business by any other establishment of the kind, either in the table, attention of the servants, or in his own dining and personal devotion to the comforts of his guests. The charges will not exceed those of any other house conducted in a similar manner. CHARLES F. RICE. New York, Feb. 23, 1835. 13 19
