writer in the Standard thinks that there will not
be meetings held in many of the Districts, to ap-
point delegates to the Nashville Convention, and
therefore recommends that each State Convention ap-
point set and each District also to appoint if
it chooses.
That plan ought to be adopted, if the whig Con-
vention agrees for is certain that of the dis
tricts will not be represented otherwise.
The same writer thinks the State ough: to pay the
expenses of delegates. The expenses ought to be
paid if not there will not be full delegation. 1t
costs something and takes time to go to Nashville,
account of its being off the great line of travel.

= Ma. MANGuM. Be sure and read the remarks of
Mr.. Mangum. Who is right, Mr.. M. or the poli,cog
newspapers that do not agree with him! Who re-
fleets the spirit of North Carolina Messrs. Mangum,
Ashe, Clingman, Venabe, and Deberry, (al strong
Southern men,) the miserable little slangwhangers
that try to smother the spirit that has burst out in
Duplin, Bladen, Brunswick, New Hanover Old
Mecklenburg &c. &C.! Any man whose perceptions
are not blinded with dullness of the most inexcu-
sable kind, can readily answer.
Every true Caronan must feel proud that just at
such crisis we have such man from the Old North
as Mangum.

A CoMMENDABLE DETERMINATION. The Editor
of the Raleigh Standard expresses determination to
advertise no more patent medicines unless they pay
the very fullest prices, and then he don't know
whether he will publish them. We have made rule
to charge all alike and these medicine
men be accommodated one farthng below our regular
charges. There is sort of advertisements against
which our subscribers soon grumble. No sort of
attention will be paid TO those sending advertise
ment to be inserted for dictated by themselves.

ROBBERY AND DETECTION. The store of Messrs.
A. G. Bowers & Brother, Watch Makers and Jew
eers, robbed on Tuesday night of Watches and
Jewery to considerable amount.
Yesterday forenoon two white men took the Cars
going North, at Rocky Point, about II miles from
town. They We're suspected of being the guilty per-
sons, and gold watch having been on the seat
they occupied, these suspicious were made known to
them On this the younger of the two went into the
Closet of the Car, and returned in a minute two,
and offered himself to be searched that operation
having been performed on the elder of the two. One
appears about IS and the other 30 years of age No
further discovery was made at that time.
The return Car was met about 25 miles from town,
and it being thought that the circumstances warrant
ed their arrest, they put board and brought
to town for that purpose.
The circumstance of the closet was remembered,
and look out was kept by several persons for any
thing that might be found laying the Roadside.
About mile and half above the place the accused
train Agent, discovered blue handkerchief, tied up.
The Cars were stopped, and run back short dis
lance. In the handkerchief were tied up about 8
gold watches, 3 or silver ones, and large quant-
ty of finger rings, ockets, &c. We guess the value
of these articles was about $70o-it may be more or
less.
The accused were partially examined before Jere
Nichols, VIM. C. Bettencourt, and James T. Miller,
Esqures, yesterday afternoon. further investiga-
ton will take plack Tomorrow, when persons will
return who went up yesterday, who are considered
necessary witnesses in the case.
The parties call themselves Cole and Walton.

Fear Bank, Tuesday, and being questioned pre-
tended to be seeking the business of the Bank
They also detected in the private residence of
T. Savage, Esq, and inquired for some person by

We do not know the amount of the loss sustained
by Messrs. Bowers g. Brother. 1t has been reported
to at So, 900. ESQ, they still heavy losers,

says.
We must take this opportunity of setting at rest
once for all the question of Gorgeys innocence or

that on the 10th of August, Russian female dpo-
natist of celebrity, announced openly in London that
the Hungarian cause was lost, because the Emperor
(of Russial was sure of Gorgey. Gorgey's first
avowed negotiation for surrender only took place on

Why frown on those who buy their slaves,
And smile on those who steal them?

CoNGREss. Both Houses of Congress have now
before them as the leading topics of discussion, the
slavery questions the House of Representatives taking
it up in Committee of the Whole the state of the
Union; and the Senate having before it number of
propositions, bills, resolutions, &c., with Mr.. Hale
and his Abolition petitions for variety. 1t has become
almost the sole subject of interest. Mr.. Clay and
Mr.. Benton are acting the champions and repre-
sentatves of the North in attempting separate Cal
iforna from the other questions, thus deprivng the
South of one important element of compromise, and
by adding another State the North, increase the
power of that section to pursue its aggressions. AS
they know that such will be the effect of admitting
California alone, of they favor for that rea-
son. Mr.. Clay announces that he owes no allegi-
ance to the South, but only to the Union If he
justice and fair dealing to the South, he owes
more than he pays. That was to be expected of Mr..
Benton, but not of him. Chas. Mercury.

HON. JAMES BUCHANAN.

The Washington Correspondent of that rabid Free
soil sheet the New York Evening Post, abuses Mr.
Buchanan roundly for his laudable efforts adjust
the Slavery question. He says:

and proceedings of Mr.. Buchanan during the memor-
able and exciting scenes now presented day after day
at the capitol Mr. Buchanan is understood to have
fully succeeded in putting himself in advance of
Gen. Cass the southern candidate for the Presi-
dency but he nevertheless continues with undated
zeal the business Of proselytng among his northern
friends. His southern employers pat him on the
back, and applaud him for killing off the proviso,
but they insist that he must hel lp them to bury
it, which can only be done effectually by reject
ing the application of California to be admitted into
the Union. Under these circumstances, the fact
is deserving of indignant comment, that during the
struggle to get the previous question the instruc-
tions this morning, Mr. Buchanan took his station
convenient point the floor of the House, and
called up to him for consultation, members of the
delegation from his State, who acted under his
advice IN voting by teers against the previous ques
tion, equivalent to voting against the instructions

LOOK OUT FOR CoUNrERFElTs! There must be
considerable amount of counterfeit money in circula
ton. We have recently received, by Mail, two tens
and one three of the Cape Fear Bank, which have
been pronounced counterfeit by the Cashier. These
bills may very easily be passed on persons who are
not good judges of paper money; but to person ac-
customed to handling and observing much of the ar
tcle, the cheat is quite apparent Beware of pale,
bad-looking paper and coarse engravings. Upon the
slightest examination the general looks of these bills
betray them. They have wild, coarse appearance ;
and generally they much worn or soiled in such
a way to leave the impression that they have been
