ABOLITION EMISSARIES.

1t appears, from publication in the last Ashebo-
rough Herald, that Abolition emissary, under the
guise of the True Wesleyan Church, has been SEQ
verify and insidousy insting the doctrines of Abo
litionism and amagamaton - into the community Of
Franklinsvle, Randolph County, and that this ennis
sary has "received countenance, encouragement and
support in the village of Franklinsville The Manu-
featuring Company, among whose hands, we presume,
this emssary has been operating, has passed Resolu
tons disavowing all connection and sympathy with
him, and denouncing him and his conduct in the Sc
verest terms.
We understand that this Abolition emissary was
recently invited down to Chatham County, but de-
clined going. If he had accepted the visit he would
doubt have gone away, if at all, with flea in his
ear. " Our Chatham neighbors would have taught
him lesson, the remembrance of which he would
have carried with him to his dying day. 1--WE have
no doubt there of the sort in the State.
Let the people keep an eye upon the suspected |;
and let every man from the free States who may be
going about without character and without some
regular and legitimate employment, be closely scru-
tinized and watched. We must take care of our
selves, property and rights at all hazards and
to the last extremity.

GOVERNORS ELECTION.

The Register is out in favor of Convention to
nominate candidate for Governor, and that paper
breaches harmony to its party particularly and gener
ally on the subject After alluding to the ''half
dozen Rchmonds already in the field, and after per-
mittng the expression to escape it that the Wings
may be 'possibly defeated" after ALL that paper finds
occasion and space for the following:
"We set up particular claims for ourselves
yet, while we say this, cannot forego express
ion of our opinion to the irresistible propriey and
business of conforming to the usage respecting ncum
bents, which has prevailed for many years past.
Tie " ;rresistabh propriety and business Of con-
forming to the usage respecting incunbents. We call
that pretty strong language.
The Times at the idea that William B. Shep-
ard will ever be Governor of the State, while the
Register mentions his name along with that of Man
gum, as having been suggested for the Office. The
Register tolerates the Hornets Nest the Times de-
tests-oh how he hates it! The Register has been
fattere6; the Times has been stung. Which is the
organ!

THE FIRST wHIG MEETING.

-. We learn from the Mountain Banner that Meet
ing of the Wings Of Rutherford County was held on
the 18th instant, Gen. William F. Jones in the Chair,
and George w. Baxter, Esq, Secretary. The meet
ing was addressed by Generals Jones and Bynum,
and series of Resolutions offered by Gen. Bynum,
were adopted.
One of the Resolutions recommends that the Wing
Convention assemble at Greensborough on the 9th
of March next-another nominates John Kerr, Esq,
as the first choice of the Wings Of Rutherford for
Governor-and another gives Gov. Manly the :. cold
shoulder - just so:
"Resohved, That while we do not desire to be un-
derstood passing any censure upon the present In
cumbent Of the Executive chair of his State ,ye de-
clare it to be clear eonvction that Ae cannot secure
tie support Of the Whig party in Westrn North Caro-
Ena." =
The Resolutions were unanimously adopted, and
twenty Delegates Were appointed 10 the Convention

WASHINGTON. January l2. 1885,


WAsHlEeIoN, January l2. 1850.
The House, yesterday, elected Clerk-so, they
have, in the space of six weeks, performed two great
labors-the election of Speaker and of Clerk.
Should the same degree of harmony and Of expedition
PREVAIL in the election of the inferior officers, of Ser
eant at Arms, Door Keeper and Post Master, it may
safely be calculated that the House, in nine weeks
more, will be prepared proceed the consideration
of the business of the session.
The firm Democratic phalanx, which had stood for
week in favor of the Democratic caucus candidate,
Mr.. Forney, gave way. yesterday, and number Of
members, whose ainities were for Free Soilism vo-
ted for B. B. French There was plan to elect Mr..
French, by aid of Northern Democrats, Wings, and
Free Sellers. The Union " urged upon the Demo
Gratis the propriety of adherng to Mr.. Forney. The
Wings had agreed to adhere to Mr.. Campbell, OF
Tennessee the incumbent On the first trial. yester-
day, Mr.. French received number of Democratic
votes. 1t was apparent that he was to be chosen
or, rather that Mr.. Forney out of the question
and that the Free Sellers control the election
unless Mr.. Campbell could be elected. Some Of the
Southern Democrats seeing the game, determined to
block it, and Mr. Venable. of North Carolina, voted
for Campbell At the close Of the second trial, Mr.
Orr, Of South Carolina, remarked that in order end
this proacted struggle. he would vote for Mr. Camp
bell; the incumbent. Mr.. Wallace, Mr.. Colcock
Mr.. M'Queen, and Mr.. Woodward of S. C. followed
this lead. Mr.. Ewing, of Tennessee, and, believe
one other Southern Democrat, took the same course
and clinched the election.

NORTH GAR0L in A ST a ND|ARD.
THE TNAsHy1LLE CONVENTION.

We suppose that Gov. Manly has received the
insulting Vermont Resolutions, and that he is fully
aware Of the action being taken on the Slavery ques-
tion BY our sister States. He has no doubt heard
from Virginia on the one hand and South Carolina on
the other; and he likewise knows that Mississippi
was the first State to lead off in this movement both
parties speaking through State Convention. In
fine, we take it for granted that Chief Executive
is well apprised of the condition of things, and that
he has already reflected deeply and seriously as to
the course which it becomes North Carolina to pursue
in this emergency.
We suggested last week, as our readers may re-
member, that Delegate be appointed to Nashville
by one party and another by the other party; and that
the people should then choose nine more-one from
each Congressional District. If cannot do better,
we are still in favor of this plan; but strikes US
most orciby that it is important to the character of
the Commonwealth, for various reasons, that we
should have, if at all practicable, authoritative State
action on the subject. We therefore call upon Gov.
Manly either to the Legislature, or his Coun
Gil, to issue his Proclamation to the people, advs-
ing them of the dangers that impend over them, and
suggesting to them the propriety and importance Of
appointing Delegates to the Nashville Convention.
We should prefer to see the Legislature assembled
but serious objections should exist to that in the Gov
ernor's mind, if he should think any portion of the
people would object to the expense to be thereby in
curred let him call his Council together, and let that
body take such steps as he and they may judge prop
or. And if neither the Legislature his Council
let him at least issue his Procama on to the people
above referred to.
AS party man we certainly have no claims upor
Gov. Manly; but a citizen of the State, concerned
for its welfare and interested in its destinies, have
right to make this call. Humble as the source ma,
be from which this calr proceeds, shall look witt
anxiety, for the next eight ten days, for ths
response that may be made to it; and silence during
that period, the part of the Governor and the Reg
ister will be taken as evidence that he intends taxi
20 action in the premises.
This question, we repeat, is above party-as ia
above party as right is above wrong, virtue abov.
aggression and wickedness. We declare that in th
matter we have party aims, but seek only the goot
of North Carolina and her citizens. The tipe hal
come for US to UNITE AS ONE MAN; every day.
delay is weakening the bonds of brotherhood between
the States. North Carolina, quiet and unpretendin!
she is and always in earnest when she moves,
effect more now for the cause of the Union and o
Southern rights, than any two States south Of tn
Potomac

Z THE VOICE OF VIRGINIA

Old Virginia has again spoken out in trumpet-tones
the enemies of Southern rights. On the 18th inst,
Gov. Floyd transmitted to the Legislature the Reso
utions recently adopted by Vermont and now before
the Senate, and recommended the passage of law
providing for the attendance Of Delegates from Vir-
ginia in the Southern Convention to assemble a,
Nashville in June next, and that money be appropri
ated to defray the expenses of said Delegates The
Committee of tho House, raised on the subject,
ponded to the Governor in strong language-recom-
mended the re-afirmation, by the Legislature of the
Resolutions of ls47 and ls49, pedgng the State to
resist the Wilmot Proviso and kindred measures,
every hazard and to the last extremity-and also
commended that the Legislature elect four Delegates
to Nashville, leaving the others to be chosen by the
people, at the ballotbox from each Congression-
al District Able and eloquent speeches were de-
livered by Messrs. Claiborne, Conway, Furgeson,
and Harvie in favor Of the proposed measures and,
in order to give full time for reflection in SO mpor
tant matter, final action was postponed until to-
morrow.
The following Resolution, offered in the House by
Mr. Syme, of the Petersburg Intelligencer, was un-
animously adopted:
Resolped, by the General AssebIy Of Virginia. That
the resolutions from the State of Vermont, on the
subject of slavery, be returned to the Governor OF
this Commonwealth, with request that they be re.
turned to the Governor of Vermont and that the Gov
of Vermont be inoraed that the Legislature oi
Virginia understand their constitutional rights and
mean to maintain them.
The following Resolution was offered by Mr.. Bur.
we'll, and on his notion referred to the Committee on
the Wilmot Provso:
Resoced by the General .assensbIy, That it be and
is hereby recommended to the people of Virginia not
to import, purchase consume any article the pro-
duce or manufacture of the State Of Vermont, oi
any other State in this Union which shall address to
Virginia the language Of menace or of reproach.
THERE'S no doubt that Virginia will come up fully
in her action to the above recommendations of her
Governor. She has taken her position, and she will
maintain il.
Every Southern State but North Carolina has NOV.
ed or is moving on this vital subject. What says
our Governor?

The last Raleigh Tiass ID one breath cha1scteri-
zes the proposed Conyention of Ase Southern States
At Nashville, as = affair, and another

some compromise shall not be effected, BY which

threats, ACT, promptly and at once, for their ownse-
cunty and happiness; and, they cannot reform this
government, form such new one as may best COM
port with their own security, Independence and hap
piness." In one column the Times says that, and
in. another column, speaking of the Nashville Con-
vention, it says:
ssWe desire the people to think about this thing.
If they deem it best for the South to follow the
ample Of the Northern States during the last and
meet in Convention, they appoint their delegates
and 60 at it. The reputation which Hartford gained
was by no means enviable. Let Nashville beware.
The North has never heard the last of her Conven-
ton, perhaps because it did not dissolve the Union.
"Treason does never prosper-what's the reason
Why, when it prospers none dare call it treason =
If that is not blowing hot and cold' at the
time, we should like to know what is. We beg our
readers to believe that the above extracts from
the same paper, and that one man, and not two, is
responsible for them.
We hope the Times readers will consider them
selves suited all round but let be borne in mind
that the slow-coach" conservatives to read one
column, and the determined spirits of his party
to read the other 1t will never do 10 mix such ele-
ments. 1t would be like pouring vinegar into sugar,
or hot lead upon Ice.
But seriously, the Times is disposed to twist and
this absorbing and all-mportant subject of Sav-
cry, to advance its party purposes; and evidence
of this fact may be found all through that paper of
Friday last. 1t charges ' conjunction" between
the Star and STANDARD with reference to the Nashville
Convention, because these papers happened to agree
to the number of Delegates and the mode of their
appointment. 1t says "this unon' is worthy of re-
mark, and I" bodies good to the WHle State Of NORTH
Carolina. " There spoke the partizan, from the top
of his head to the soes of his feet! His party rela
tons, North and South, must be preserved, Slavery
or no Slavery, rights rights, South South
1t is useless for the Times thus to attempt to turn
back the current Of Southern opinion. The South
soiN act, and North Carolina will act, croakers and
traitors to the contrary notwithstanding Let those
VINO are comparing Nashville" to IS Hartford, -
and who, by their conduct, say the least, Civ
ing aid and comfort the Abolitionists and Freesoi
ers, beware!
We leave the Times to the tender mercies of its
friends of the Star and Hornets Nest If they
not it from the gulf of treason into which it is
Plunging, we know not who can.
