THE OLD THIRFEEN.

NE OhD EAlkfEt1N. = -
God bless the good old Thirteen States
God bless The young ones too,
VINO cares for musty birthday dates -

The old ones first our freedom gain'd,
In bloody fights of yorei;
The young ones have tlleir rights maintainsd
As the old ores did before.
Or South or North or East or West a
Twin sisters all they be,
One mother nursed them at her lfcast,
And that was Liberty.
And may the wretch whose hand s!ralf strive
To cut their vital thread, -.g-.s 7-.---.,
Be scorned while in. this world alive,
And scorned when he Is dead.
Now fill the bowl with Natures wine,
Let's drink, .sGod save the King"
The only King by right divine,
The sovereign People King.
For they're the only King own
All others despise, a.
The King that towers above the throne,
The King that never dies.
o! may that sceptre wide extend Live
Ger every land and sea, r4E
Without beginning, without end, -
And conquer to set free,
Till Freedoms banner floats alone,
A beacon In the sky,
And man no other Lord shall own B.
But He who rules on high.

nc ""t! otofe S1npentton-Ihc- Platform for tie
! SdnLpGtgfl-N omtnation IF General .Scoti-Free-
| Soi!isn. e$c.
| The Wing State Convention yesterday accom- plisi-
nearly an ther %ork, and will adjourn to-day. af-
ter nominating Canal Commissioner and FIVE
Judges. ~
This convention has been looked TO with deem in,
terest IRON all quarters on account of the Indications
which II would furnish OF the future course of the
wings of this State. 1t was expected that il would
lay down platform for the wings OF The Union in
reference to the next Presidential election and ,rnI
public expectation has not been disappointed The
platform is before you in the fifteen Resolutions of
the convention The first four resolutions are in f
vor, might be expected, of protective Tariff
thing that Pennsyv ania is disposed insist upon at
all times. except when she comes to the pols-and
then she is apt to off the extreme of free trade
policy, provided il suits the democratic party.
The next four resolutions concern the adjustment
measures of the last Congress- and declare that they
shall be faithfully observed by the wings. They
also declare determination maintain the suprema-
cy of the constitution and laws. The next resolution
commends the administration of Willard Fillmore.
The three next resolutions complimentary to Gov
ernor Johnston and his administration. Finally, comes
the important solution nominating Gen. Scott for
the Presidency in 1852, and recommending him to
the wings of the Union as the deserving and
available candidate.
There were, out of 1873 members of the Ccnven-
ton, some five and twenty who were adverse to the
nomination of Scott this time and most of those
would have preferred Mr.. Webster. But the general
can succeed in this Stale unless he be military man.
Moreover. it was believed to be essential to Gov.
Johnstons that he should be brought forward
under the wing of Gen. Scott.
There little furry in the convention upon the
subject of the fugitive slave act. The members would
not stand any resolution committing them the sup
port of that act. Gov Johnston has refused to sign
the law of the late Legislature for the repeal of laws
obsructiDg the rendition of slaves In the commit
tee of thirty three resolutions, resolution for the
support OF the provisions of the constitution in rea
ton to the surrender OF tugit'es from labor or Ser
vice obtained but ten votes Mr.. j. NJ. Scott, of
Philadelphia, renewed it in convention, and it was
evaded and choked off. In fact there too much
for the freesoers about the adjustment measures, in
the resolutions already, without any express pledge
to support the fugitive act Twentyseven delegates
voted against the resolutions in mass, chiefly the
ground that they far far enough in the
support of Il compromise.
Many of the wings here confident that Gov.
Johnston will be reelected. The probability is, how
ever, in my opinion, that Col. Biger will beat him
by considerable majority. Ion.

We invite attention to the sketch in another COL
umn, of the discussion in Rockingham, Richmond
County, between Maj. Caldwell and Gen. Dockery.
The Raleigh Register has repeatedly misrepresented
Maj. Caldwell's opinions the subject of State
eregnty, and that paper is regarded as having done
so under the influence of party prejudice. Will the
Register do Maj. Caldwell the justice to publish so
much of this sketch as relates to his position? And
if not will the charge of parvsm on this absorb
ing question of Slavery most justly lie at the door of
that paper7 The Register has now an opportunity
to do something like justice to political opponent
on no-party issue. Will it do it? We shall see.

INDEPENDENCE. No, my son, life of indepen-
dence is generally life of virtue. 1t is that which
fits the soul for every generous aigh, of humanity,
freedom, and friendship. To give should be our
pleasure, but receive shame. Serenity, health
and afflnence attend the desire of rising by labor
misery repentance, and dsrespect, that of succeeding
by exIorted benevolence. The man who can thank
himself alone for the happiness he enjoys, is truly
blest; and lovely, far more lovely, the sturdy gloom
of laborous indulgence, than the fawning simper of
thriving adulation.

STRINGENT LIQUOR BILL. Tie most important act
of legislation, perhaps, by the Maine Legsla at
its last session, the passage of very stringent
liquor bill. -,
This law forbds the manufacture or sale Of all
spirituous or intoxicating liquors, except by author-
zed and licensed agents, and then only for me-
dcinal and mechanical purposes. If any unlicensed
person shall manufacture sell these liquors he rs
subjected, for the first conviction, 10 hne OF SloO
for the second conviction, to fine of $500 and for
the third 5000, and months imprisonment.
1t authorizes the search of sores g., for spirituous
iuuors, when there is reason to- believe that such
LIQUORS are intended for sale without license, and the
destruction of the liquor, unless proved to be import
ed, and in the original packages in which it was i'm
ported.
No person engaged in the unlawful traffic safio"-
and all such cases coming before the Superior Court
are to take precedence of ali other business, except
those criminal cases where the parties are actually
under arrest and awaiting trial.

Mr. Webster, it will be remembered, said in his
Buffalo Speech that if the Southern people wanted
| concessions from him they would not get them. He
would make concessions, but he would stand upon
the Constitution and would do justice both North
and South. Now, we all know ho,c Mr.. Webster
stands upon the Constitution, and what his consruc-
ton of ii has heretofore been He regards the Consti
tuition as jusifyng law which would give to escap.
ed slaves trial By jury in The free States. That is one
instance of the manner in which MIR. Webster would
stand upon the Constitution and deal it out the
Southern people.
But MI Webster is of the champions of the
so.called compromise. A compromise necessarily
pre-supposes concessions, but Mr.. Webster says he
will make no concessions to Southern men, So, afte
all, the compromise snot compromise according tc

MEssRs. CLINGMAN AND GATHER.


1t will be perceived from the following extract from
The Asheville News that, after ALL Colonel Gather
agrees with Mr.. Clingman in every vote but one,
which the latter gave against the so-caled Compro-
mise. SO Col. Gather is not even Compromise
candidate. What is he! He is for fire and sword
against South Carolina in she secedes, and that,
of itself, would be sufficient 10 defeat him. The
News says:
g We had the pleasure on Tuesday of last week,
hear the candidates for Congress- COL Gather and
Mr.. Clingman, address the people of Haywood un-
ty. We made copious of the discussion, which
should like PUBLISH but the crowded of
columns forbid it. The only points of difference
the compromise bills between the gentlemen is the
Texas boundary bill. Col. Gather said he would
ha voted for the admission of California it
first proposed in the omnibus BILL had he been in the
Senate-but as separate measure, and at the time
Mr.. Clingman voted against il, he would have done
likewise, preferring to keep it year longer
ritory. He would have voted with Mr.. Clingman for
the fugitive slave bill, and against the abolition of the
slave trade in the District of Columbia. Mr.. Cling
man did not vote on the Utah bill. So after all the
noise made by the compromlsers against Mr.. Cling
for his course in the last Congress, they have
brought Union candidate, toho agrees with him
in every UOLe but 0ne.'
The News has the most gratifying accounts in
Mr.. Clingman's favor from various parts of the Dis
tEict. That paper says:
s. We have the most fattering accounts from the
counties of Cherokee, Macon and Haywood. Mr..
Clingmdn will get large increase over the vote
against Gen. Bynum, four years ago in these coun-
ties. His orty in these counties cannot tall short
of OO Set Buncombe and Madison down for anoth-
er 500. Henderson, his opponents admit will give
him 200 majority. So that in six counties this side
the ridge, we have 1900 majority to begin on Our
information from the most intelligent and reliable
sources East of the Blue Ridge is that the federal
onsodation party is every day growing beautifully
less, and will never raise its head in this District

clearly the practice of the Government to maintain
and preserve in full vgor and Safety all the great ir-
dustrial pursuits of the country
There is the difference between the two parties in
pennsylvania, so clearly laid down that he who runs
may read" What Southern man will not rejoice,
under these circumstances, at the triumph of the De-
mocrats of that State9
The wings OF Pennsylvania profess to "observe -
and respect the provisions of the so-caled Com
promise, and in the very breath they refuse
recognize as binding upon them the fugtve-save
law-the only measure of this Compromise which is
calculated to benefit the South ! What brazen hy-
pocrisy In addition to this they nominate for re-
election Governor of theirs. who refused to sign
the bill passed by the Legislature of that State repeal
ing the provisions of law which closes the tails of
Pennsylvania against the Shareholders of the South
and this man comes forward and accepts the nomina-
ton upon the basis of opposition to portion of
the Compromise, while his friends profess to acoui-
esce in all of it! He is also, it seems, Union man.
He goes strongly for the Union as Seward does.
and he does not appear to think that there is any dan
ger of dissolution We leave it to our readers to de-
termne how far he has been sustained and strength
ened in this opinion, by the divisions which ha We
been created for party purposes among the people of
the Southern States.
The issue has been joined in Pennsylvania, and
every Southern man who is aroused to impending
danger, will look with deep anxiety to the result. If
Pennsylvania should sDelk out for the Constitution
and for those citizens of hers who have planted them
selves upon it, her example will do much to restore
quiet to the country and justice in the flu
ture to the Southern people; but if Johnston should
be reelected and the Wing platform above set forth
approved, We shall be compelled to regard her
henceorh hostile to the Union, and bent upon the
consummaton of measures which must, sooner Or
later, end in its destruction My God defend the
right! -
