he repulsed, losing Col. Pragay and so men,
however. He then continued his murch, but
was surprised while at breakfast at Candelaria
and his whole command dispersed. His men
fed to the forests, but were hunted down by

Turkey AND THE UNITED STATEs.--Amin Boy
AZ Home.--An article which appears on the 10Th
September, in the Journal of Constantinople,
(said TO be the official organ of the government
there,) conveys to US some idea of the impression
the recent visit of Amin Bey to this country has
made upon the Turks. The Journal publishes, in
lengthy detail, the various marks of civility of
which the Bey was tho frequent recipient from our
citizens, generally, we'll as at the hands Of the
Government. The address made him by tho Pre-
sident is particularly referred to, sec, as show
ing an honorable and earnest desire on the part OF
the American Governmental cultivate friendlyre-
lations with the Porte. The farewell address made
by the Executive to the Turk, when about to leave
this country for home, ia translated aso, and pub
lished in extenso The editor OF the Journal, our
Turkish contemporary, in view of the favorable
reception thus given TO the Bey, concludes with
expressing the hope that the present good under
standing between the two nations may never be
disturbed, and this without reference 10 any polit-
ical interest other than that which ought always to
exist between two great powers. II can have
other result than the well being of the people Of the
two countries, and as such must add to the rcpu-
taiion Of the sovereign of the Ottoman empire,

The True VnginiGl attributes to the Re
public a certain paragraph which has been go
ing the round for some time past rejecting un-
lavorably on the policy of General TAYLoR's
administration; and, on this basis, builds quite
snowy superstructure. Unfortunately for
himself, our censor is altogether mistaken.
The paragraph in question never appeared in
our columns. 1t was paraded for time in the
Union as an extract from an editorial of the
National Inteligencer, where, however, we
believe it never appeared in any other shape
than as part of a letter, for which our contem-
porary could not be held responsible.

no reason for standing on separate abolition

support the ticket of that party put forth by the

his doctrines endorsed by the action of the
convention "Itis true" he says in his manifesto,

ton concerning the Fugitive Slave act but the po-
ston Of the Democracy of Ohio, in relation to that

Qua PosITIoN.--We place at the head of this
column o-day the name of MLLARD FILLMORE as
our choice for the next President Of the United
States subject 10 the decision Of he National Con-
Uenhon We take this course, not only because
we consider him eminently qualified as patriot
statesman and tactcian for that highly responsi-
bic station, but because we believe him TO be most
emphatically the choice of the People universally
a vast majority of whom are no doubt prepared to
sanction this preference.
II is not our purpose in this article to enlarge
upon his merits or to put forth lengthy disserta
ton upon his claims 10 the confidence and support
of all who anxious for the future we'll being of
the country this we have already done to some
extent, and shall continue to do, as circum
stances may warrant and occasion require Nor
need we dwell upon his official ACT during the diff
iiculties and dangers that have met him in his ad
rninistraton of our national affairs. which he has
30 nobly braved and 80 successfully adjusted
These already familiar to every close observer
of passing events. Suffice it 10 say that the wis
dom of his course has not only guaranteed him
success in every exigency, but has won him the
admiration and confidence of his political oppo-
nents well as his friends, and placed him in a
position before bis countrymen second to no aspi-
rant to the Chief Magistracy i'll the land Through
every trial that has crossed his Administration, it
may be truly said he has come out "like gold tried
in the fire.
We need but add that we believe him to be the
only man upon whom the Wings, North and
South, can unite in n national convention; and,
Judging from his growing popularity throughout
the length and breadth of the Union, we have eve
ry TO suppose that he will be the choice Of
that body by large odds.

WING NATIONAL CoNvENTIoN.-Som of the
southern Wing papers are taking the ground that
there is no necessity for National Wing Convcn-
ton TO nominate candidate for the Presidency ,
and we are inclined to the same opinion. Who
wants better President than the one now in
stalled? 'Lct well enough alone" is good Wing
motto-and VIC verify believe a large majority of
the nation are now OF opinion that the platform laid
down by the President in his annual message is
good enough for every true man in the country.
The Wing State Conventions, South and West,
will speak out in decided terms of appreciation
and they will be likely to give their opinion also
to the Vice Presidency.
For our own part, although we should always be
pleased to see one of our prominent Vrginians put
forward, yet we not selfish to desire to
monopolize honors, The Old Dominion has had
her full share of Executive lonors, and we arc
therefore willing that other States should come in
for portion North Carolina, both from her po-
sition and her fidelity is entitled to the Vice Presi
dency; and we accordingly repeat our preference
for the Hon. William A. Graham, the Secretary OF
the Navy. he has all The qualities suitable for the
place, and his State has claim which honorable
men cannot resist.

From HE Raleigh Nv. CD Register.

We transfer the following article from the
Warrenton (Va.) Free Press TO our own columns
with no ordinary pleasure. While we give III
to the opinion that the respective action of
Wing State conventions might supersede the ne
cessty for National Wing Convention, we do
not that, in the present aspect of matters,
can be avoided. The preferences of nearly all
southern Wings, and of a considerable portion Of
the conservative Wings of the North, believe,
are decidedly in favor (as ours fully and decidedly
are) of the nomination of the present enlightened
and patriotic incumbent; but differences of
sentiment do exiat even on this point, and diver
siy of opinion prevails TO the nomination for
the Vice Presidency, varied conflicting local
partialites generally are. n National Wing Con
venton can alone, by an authorized decision, Sc
cure that unity which is indispensable to success.
When we speak of unity we not to be under
stood ntimating the possibility, indulging
the hope, of a union of all those who may have in
previous contests acted with the Wing party.
Such union neither expect nor wish. There
arc men calling themselves Wings, at the North
whose Cooperation 80 far from being either court
| cd or desired, should and will be spurned

| the CONSTITUTION, and strict adherence to the
| COMPROMISE, the watchwords for the conflict
and go forth to victory-viotory for the
! UNIoS-victory for the CoUNTRY-under the lead
OF those whom it may select as worthy standard
bearers in such a cause
| Is was simply our purpose, however, in noticing
| the article of sterling Virginia contemporary
| to express the qualification which we, in common
we are sure, with every Wing in North Carolina
experience at the daily evidences before us Of the
| firm hold which WILLIAM A. GRAHAM ia rapidly
acquiring upon the confidence and esteem of the
people Of the Union, without regard to section.
Portions of the press in North Carolina, Tenncs-
sec, Alabama, and Virginia, have actually hoistcd
his name in connection with the Vice Presidency
to the masthead and, in other quarters, the claims
of the State and his own personal fitness for the
office warmly urged. No man in this country
would make better administrative officer, or
more excellent representative, in his charac-
ter, of the dignity and conservatism OF our insttu-
