gsaHThe Commercial of yesterday waxeth fa-
cetious upon what it is pleased to denominate our
very afectonate' advice to the wings upon the
subject of an open convention. We have remark
ed in former article, that instead of mischief we
scalculated upon much good springing from the &C.
ton of prominent whig gentlemen here in opposition
&c convention. We meant what we said in it's
fullest and broadest sense We meant good to the
East, and good to the whole State 1t would seem,
from the funny remarks of the Commercial that the
Editor of that paper cannot rise to the comprehen-
sion OF such a meaning-cannot sonceivs such al
idea. 1t would be nonsense for rs to pretend any
great desire for the Of ths whS party; but
upon this subject of tho coayeaties va visa ifpos-
slble, to obtain the cooperation Of good men of all
parties. two-thrds vote is requisite for the pas
sage of the law for abolishing the landed qualca-
ton TOR Senatorial electors; Or on the other hand
to call convention; and partizan can hope for
the arrival of time in this State, when one party
can control twothirds vote in both branches NOT
at least on strict party vote We hope, then that
the Commercial will see how men, strictly partizans
it may be, but still DESTROYS ofobtaining the passage
OF a measure which they regard as just and proper
and defeating another which they look upon as dan
gerous in the extreme, may, in such an emergency,
go beyond the limits of their own party and rejoice
IN any and all favorable indications in the ranks of
their opponents. The democrats. as a body, are
with US. We 60 out from behind our entrench-
meuts and ask the conservative portion of our
wing opponents to come up and help u.s. If we
wanted simply party triumph our best plan
would be to get the Wing party arrayed in solid pha-
lanx against this question. In that case, al
though equal suffrage might be lost, the party that
opposed it would inevitably share its fate The Dem
ocrats of the State have so uniformly declared in ia
vor of Equal Suffrage and of the mode of obtaining
1t by enactment, etc, that would be fairly usti-
fed in demanding its support of all Democratic can
didates as matter of party faith. We ask it of all
liberal minded Wings, as measure of protection
tor their own ntereststhe interests of their sec
ton and their State. An open Convention means
nothing more than an absolute white basis in both
branches The only available means of allaying the
agitation for Convention is by demonstrating the
practcability of making desired amendments to the
Constitution by another and less dangerous method
Such desired and desirable amendment is this abo-
lition of the landed qualification Let that be pass
ed: and the agitation receives death blow.

REaF@1he London Times remarks upon the curious
fact that the only free nations in the world; the
United States and Great Britain, are now governed
by an executive directly opposed in policy to the
majority of the country, and unable to carry any
one measure through Congress Parliament un!e,s
by sufferance. The President of the United States
and his Cabinet Wings and high tariff men "a
large majority in Congress and in most of the States
are Democrats, and go fer the tariff of 40 The
new British Premier is Tory Protectionist, opposed
to all manner of REFORM and in favor of the re-enact
ment of the Corn Laws. He says frankly that his
policy has no chance in the House of Commons, and
he will, therefore, have dissolution and an election
to try whether the members sent to a new Para-
ment may not be more favorable. The best inform
ed journals think it impossible that he can retain
power. He will fall, and the anomaly there will
cease. Here it will continue until the 4th of March
next, when MIR. Fillmore viii give place to Presi
dent who will pursue the policy approved of by the
neople

THE MoULTRIE HOUSE on SuIlivan's Island was
according to previous announcement, sold on Mon
day last for $4,000. 1t was purchased by VIM. M
Martin esq., and Others who intend to make vari
Gus additions and improvements to it. If we are
not very much mistaken, the House cost much lar
ger sum than that for which it sold.

Fire.

We regret to learn that fire occurred in the
woods last week on the place belonging to L. Holiness
Esq, about two miles from town, which DESTROYED
the greater portion of the turpentne trees upon the
premises. On Saturday afternoon the house took
fire, and was totally destroyed. The loss is heavy
one, and we do not know whether Mr. Holmes has
any insurance

New Han1DshIre.

The complete triumph of the Democrats in the re-
cent election in New Hampshire. affords US grounds
of rejoicing upon more accounts than one 1t is the
first State election this year. and such, is cheer
ing presage of future success. The election of a
Democratic Legislature secures the choice of Dem
ocratc United States Senator in place of that rank
abolitionist, John P Hale who was put in the posi-
ton which he has disgraced by coalition of Wings
and Abolitionitss against the regular Democrats
Moreover, the present is distinct triumph of the
National Democrats over both the Wings and Free
Sellers DIR. Martin, the Democratic candidate came
out in favor of the enforcement of the Fugitive
Slave Law, and the discontinuanee of all agitation
upon the subject of slavery. His two competitors
Sawyer, Wing, and Atwood, Abolitionist came out
against that law. And yet Martin obtained clear
majority of all the cast. outnumberng both his
competitors put together Nothing can be more sat
isfactory than the course, nothing more cheering
than the position of the Democrats in New England
outside of Massachusetts,, where many of them are
as bad as the Wings and in Vermont, where they
can hardly be said to have any existence.

Price and his Horse.

Prices tolerably good looking confederate replies
to the question of his nolerably good looking neigh
Dor of the Herald in Wednesdays paper, in the
words following to wit: Our associate pleads guilty
regards eating the horse in metaphorical sense
but not guilty regards swallowing the spurs. The
latter have been devoured by who has gal
looping consumption. He Furthermore states that
the horse is good horse as he did eat and
tastes remarkably like North Carolina ham. Indeed,
somebody says that Mr.. Price sold his horse to
his bacon. He has recently been heard to offer a
reasonable sum for horse, but not his kingdom nor
even his tater patch.
P. s. The worthy denies most emphatically
that he is death markets. and insists strenuous
ly that he is the very life of them.

The Mails.

The just complaints of the citizens and the press
of Wilmington having been brought to the notice of
the department by courteous and attentive Rep.
resentative, Mr.. Ashe, we are happy to state that
more satisfactory arrangements have been and are
about to be made. In communication to Mr.. Ashe,
the Assistant Post Master General says:
Two daily mails regularly made up ct Washington Ci-
ty, and Wilmington, n. morning and evening
The morning line from Wilmington, Coming north) conveys
pouches containing mail matter for Srckands Warsaw,
Godsboo Rocky Mount and for branching
those points, and these Offices again supplied by the af
line, with all others intermediate between Weldon
and Wilmington Mails for points north of Weldon, are
forwarded twice day from Wilmington
Instructions have yet been given make two daily
mails from Richmond and Petersburg Va, Wilmington
but this may be done if necessary.
We hope that hereafter all will go on smoothly.
Of one fact are convinced SO long as we by our
silence, signify our acquiescence in inadequte accom-
modations, so long will We be confined to such &C
commodations. The Departments like other people,
suppose that we know our own business best, and if
satisfied with little will be perfectly willing
to let us remain Neither Congress the heads
u departments can be personally cognizant of every
thing, and it is duty to keep them apprzed Of
wants. and every proper effort to obtain what
we have right to ask and what is our just DUE
Modesty is good thing in its place, but submitting
to neglect and injustice is very different thing. and
