u The Register of Saturday last grossly mis-
states the number of Counties represented and Dele
gates in attendance at the late Democratic State Con-
vention. That paper states that " 25 Counties
only" represented, "bY about sixty Delegates.
Now the official proceedings of the Convention will
show that there ortytOO Counties represented.
by at least forty Delegates than stated by the
Register.
The Register adds, &C. we understand our locofoc o
friends terribly mortified at the sparseness of their
gathering" The Register " understood - no such
thing. We never saw, and the writer of this article
for the Register never witnessed, any where, more
enthusiasm more confidence than prevailed in the
Democratic Convention. But we suppose a story
was expected of the Register the occasion; and,
as the result has shown, the friends of that print
have not been disappointed.

sents wonderful contrast 20 the ordinary crop. l
almost magical and am quite sure the guano will

guano on every acre put in wheat.''
The foregoing statement may be implicitly relied
on We hope the Wake County Agricultural So
clety will take into consideration the propriety of
making up fund, to be sent directly the importer
IN Baltimore, for supply of this famous fertilizer.
1t the planters who are members of the Society will

SWAMP LANDS OF BEAUFORT COUNTY

We would call the attention of our readers to the
fact that there in this county large quantity of
swamp lands which are highly valuable for cultiva-
ton, which can be bought cheap. These lands are
owned by few individuals who have more than
they have any possible need for and would sell them
cheap in order to get up a spirit of improvement
amongour farmers.
The location of these lands is such to render
them easily drained, and are so situated that farms
cleared in them will be navigable water and are
free from the storm tides which greatly injnre many
of the valuable swamp lands in Eastern Carolina.
The surface soil is about two feet and half deep,
and founded upon a good clay sub-soil the soils of
duct in the primitive state is about ten barrels of
corn, and with proper drainage and good culture it
would be twelve barrels per acre. We will take
great pleasure in affording any information to our
readers upon this subject which we may have, and
we know Of no better way of recommending these
lands than to give the remarks of Gen. Gather, a
very extensive and highly educated farmer of Mary
land when he visited the large farm of Gen. VIM.
A. Blount, which is located in of these swamps.
He said that he would again be content farm
in the State of Maryland, and that he would advise
those farmers of that State who wished to emigrate
10 come to Beaufort county. North Carolina.
1t is the impression with MANY that we have verv
sickly country, but by reference the last
it will be seen that according to population there
have been within the last ten years larger number
of deaths in Edgecombe than in Beaufort. In MANY
counties of State the arabic lands have been gen
orally cleared, and the force of many farmers has in
creased to become too large for their farms, and
tnese we say, do not leave your native State, but
come into Beaufort county where we need population,
ana you shall be supplied with land the growth of
whIca Is gum. ash, poplar, white'oak and hickory
In many the poplar is a common growth.

HON. ABRAM RENCHER.

We truly gatified to learn that the Hon. Abram
Rencher has consented to stand candidate for the
Senate in Chatham County. Mr.. Rencher is a gen.
teman of enlarged views, sound principles. and has
had much and varied experience in public life; and
Chatham County could send no man to the State As
sembly who would be able to do much he could,
in forwarding measures in which her people have a
peculiar interest. While he would be true 10 his
principles, and just towards the whole State in his
public conduct he would be especially faithful to the
people of Chatham, whose interests are his interests,
and who have SO frequently honored him with their
confidence and charged him with the execution of
their will.
He will no doubt take occasion, in due time, to
address his feloU-citizens in various portions of the
County, when they will have opportunity of hear
ing for themselves his opinions and views public
affairs.

W. hone our friends at these different points Will
-;,. him warm reception, and will PROFOUND to him
S,,ouo other questions the following:
MD Won not, Mr. Kerr, denounce the Mexican war
ti. il was in progress, as war unjust in its nature
md one in which it did not become Christian Peo-
.noaoeq And had YOU not, short time before
p,,srinu this denunciation exhorted the young men
If Caswell to engage in it!
hid YOU not, Mr.. Kerr, admit in discussion be-
tween Yourself and Mr.. McRae, at Franklinton' IN
ls4s, that Mr.. Fillmore unsound upon the ques-
ton of Slavery!
Did you not recently, in Speech delivered in YAM
ceyvile, take ground for National Bank and pro-
tectve Tariff.
Did YOU not, Mr.. Kerr, in the autumn OF $780, take
a prominent par in meeting in Rockingham county,
in which Judge Douglas was spoken OF In the most
exalted terms. and justly commended for his defence
of the fugtive.slave law at Chlcago' ana nave
YOU not since publicly alluded to the political char
.scter of Judge Douglas in disparaging terms! Did
YOU not, Mr.. Kerr, write with your own hand the
Rockingham Resolutions here alluded 10!
Are YOU, Mr.. Kerr, in favor of or against Con-
.vention Z How would you vote at the polls!
Are YOU, Mr. Kerr, for or against the present basis
of representation!
Was Mr.. CASTOR wrong, or was he right, when he
declared in the Convention of 1885, that ne would
never sanction the principle that bare majori-
,ty may authorize a Convention Was Mr..
MrARes right, was he wrong, when he, the author
of the two-hirds requirement, declared that it was
inserted in the Constitution for the express purpose
of preventing the call of Convention to strike down
the present federal and taxation basis
Are you not, Mr.. Kerr, against Equal Suffrage?
Mr.. Kerr may be, and no doubt is, somewhat in a
hurry; but we hope the people at the various points
named, will take him by the button, and hold on to
him until he answers the foregoing questions.

THE STANDARD FOR 1852.

The present year will be marked by events of
deep and lasting Importance. A President and
Vice President will be elected; and we shall have
in this State, warm campaign for Governor and
members of the Legislature. The Legislature to
be chosen will be called upon to elect Senator for
six years-to re-district the State for members OF
Congress-and also to lay off the Senatorial Dis
tricts and apporton the members of the House OF
Commons for the next twenty years. In addition
to this, the great question of Equal Suffrage will
come before that body for final action. These
considerations, not to mention others, Will render
the campaign interesting to all. The people Will
desire to be informed to passing events and the
qualifications and soundness of public men; and,
to be thus informed, they must not only hear the
q stump" speeches, but they must take the ns'0s-
papers.
We shall devote all our energies to the cause Of
the people and of Democracy and equal rights, in
the coming campaign. A brilliant triumph lies
before us, brother Democrats provided we are true
to ourselves. Let US, then, go to work at once
ct us prepare for the harvests of August and
November. Let us scatter the documents and
newspapers far and wide among the people, so that
they may have opportunity of reading, ponder
ing, and deciding for themselves, upon the great
questions which will come before them. Democ-
racy fears nothing much as false issues and con-
cealments. 1t is open like the sun-like the sun,
it shines for all; and like truth, it courts scrutiny
and challenges investigation.

recital of his grievances and of those of his govern

proper for him to Withdraw from his mission. He
does not state that he under instructions to with
draw, in case kossuth was received bere, but there
can be little doubt that he acted under Instructions
He commences by stating that the newspaper press
has treated with rdicule his diplomatic intercourse
with this government; that they had sneered at his
representations, and at the manner in which he had
made them.
His complaints of this treatment were made to the
Secretary Of State but he obtained redress. Sub
sequenty, he says, Kossuth was contrary his pro-
test received by this government; and Secretary of
State attending an entertainment given to Kossuth.
delivered speech of character fatterng Kossuth,
and unfrendly to the Imperial Government.
He then, he says, waited upon the President and
inquired whether the act of the Secretary and the
views presented by him, were to be considered
approved by the executive government and that the
President informed him that the act and speech were
not Official But he continues to say, that the Presi-
dents assurance that point not satisfactory,
and was not followed by any change of tone the
part of the press, in regard to himself and, in
sideration of the injurious treatment which he and
his government have received, he deemed it
~ to withdraw from the legation and return home.
He does not request the Secretary of State to
municate the letter the President but he says that
he is very thankful to the President for the coureses
which, he had received from him. and he winds up in
the usual phrases Of" accept the assurances" &c.
