THE PARTY" PRESIDENT.

The Washington Republic of the 4th instant, takes
occasion to speak several times in one of its articles
in relation to the position of Mr.. Clay towards the
Administration; and that paper is particular, in this
connection, to place Mr.. Fillmore in front, and Mr..
Clay in the rear, under his Lead" This is empha-
sized-indeed, it is mentioned and dwelt upon repeat.
edly in the course Of quite short article.
The object of this is very apparent. 1t is to iden.
tfy the old Clay Wings with Mr.. FiIlmore's Admin
stration, and to their support of the latter il
the ensuing campaign.
But the boldest part of this article of the Republic
is as follows:
The Wings of the country have thoroughly
stration naturally and necessarily the leaders of
the Whig party. The President, though the Presi-
dent of the people, is still the head of the party and
the lead which Mr.. Webster, Mr.. Clay, and Mr..
Crittenden are contented to follow, will be safe
guidance for the Wings throughout the country,
without regard to the alterations and eccentcites Of
local leaders,
Here it is unblushingly avowed that the members
of Mr.. Fillmore's Cabinet the natural leaders
Of the Whg party and that the President himself is
the " head " of the Wing party! Still he is the
president of the people '-that is, he is black and
white at the same ,ine!
Gen. Taylor, we were told, was to be the Presi-
dent of the people, and was not to know party and
MIR. Fillmore ditto. That is what we were told,
but what has been done? Let the above extract from
the Republic and the proscrptive policy of the Ad
ministration, give the answer.

WH1a JUSTICE. Fifteen Magistrates were ap-
pointed by the late Legislature for the County of
Gates-aH Of schQm are Whigs. Verify. the Sena-
tor and Commoner of that County are liberal men.
Notwithstanding several Democrats were recon:
mended by the Court, not was appointed but all
appropriated to the Wings, for political purposes We
suppose. We hope that the people of Gates will
bear this outrage in mind, and give indignant re.
buke to its perpetrators. There will be day Of
reckoning. Elizabeth City Pioneer.

MESSRS. CLINGMAN AND STANLY.
1t seems that personal collision has taken place
between Messrs. Clingman and Stanly. special
despatch to the New York Tribune, dated Washing
ton, Monday, March 3, s-P. M, says: IS Mr.. Stanly
was in his seat, when Mr.. Glingman came along and
spoke to him. Mr.. Snnly replied, when Mr.. Cling
man sprung over the desk Stanly and crushed him
to the floor. Members instantly interfered and sep
arated them. No notice was taken of the assault by
the House,
We have seen no notice of this affair in the pro-
ceedings of the House as given in the Washington
papers. 1t is not stated what Mr. Clingman said to
Mr.. Stanly, OF what it was that MI. Stany said in
reply to him. All we know is, that there was fight.

RETURNED CALIFoRNlANS.

We had the pleasure, few days since, of CONVEX
sing with couple of returned Caliornians-
Belts and Pearson, of Morganton, in this State
They showed US quantity of the " raw material,
which they were carrying home to exhibit to their
friends, as specimen of their labors One piece
which they have, weighs nearly pound; and they
have number of other pieces, weighing from few
pennyweights up to five or six ounces. We: were
struck by the difference in color among the various
pieces. Some of them bright rich yellow, while
the large piece, especially; is of dead yellow color
One of the pieces, which was found between two
rocks in river, has been considerably worn by the
water, and portion Of it, which fitted upon the rock
looks as if it had been hammered and clamped upon
the rock.
These gentlemen left San Francisco on the 18th of
January. They represent the gold apparently ex-
haustless but say that it requires great labor and pr
vaon on the part of the miners in obtaining it. These
gentlemen confirm the statement that there are few
slaves in California; and they of the opinion that
slave labor would be very profitable, particularly in
the Southern diggings.

The Democratic Convention which met at Nash
vile on the 25th ultmo. resolved that they would
abide by the Compromise measures of the last ses-
sion of Congress, provided that the North do the
same-but should the North evade the Compromise,
or repeal the same, abolish slavery in the District OF
Columbia, or refuse to admit new States because they
were slave States, they would adopt such measures
of defense and redress the honor and safety Of the
South would require.
