Onslow County,

The Associate Editor paid visit to Onslow Court
on Monday last For the month Of March the
weather was delightful and travelling pleasant. The
attendance of county residents was considerable and
everybody appeared to be in good humor. We heard
of no wrangling Our party friends talked of hold
ing meeting Tuesday afternoon to appoint Dele
gates to the Wilmington and Raleigh conventions but
concluded to postpone it till Superior Court week
in April next. Onslow will no doubt be represented
Owen Higgins, Esq. was chosen by the Magistrates
of the county as chairman Of the Court. We heard
of no other proceedings of public interest. We
should judge from the manner in which our friends
met us, that money matters in Onslow are pretty
sound, and we take this occasion of returning our
thanks to them for their promptness, and also for the
accession of new names to our list without soicia

The MOrmons-A Card.

In the Washington and New York papers there is
news by telegraph that the Mormons at Great Salt
Lake City had published declaration of Indepen-
denee, in which they assert their determination to
set up a republic for themselves; that the United
States authorities put at defiance, that all the
United States officers had left, and that the people
prepared to resist all authority by terrifying
their settlement; which have no hesitation in pro-
nouncing mistake. From my last advices, re-
ceived from the authorities in Utah, am certain
that such state of things ever thought of or
contemplated as that described in the paragraphs of
the newspapers alluded to- 1t is either sheer ia
IRRIGATION or misunderstanding growing out of the
United States officers leaving the Territory last au-

The Greensboroush Patriot (whig) of the 28th
uIt. has for its leader an article headed "Conven-
vention," in which strong ground is taken for an
open convention, and dead set is made upon . GER
tain leaders of opinion in the East, who prefer the
democratic measure of - Free Suffragen to con-
vention. Reference is made to certain whig papers
in the East who favor eastern man for Governor,
for the purpose of keeping this convention question
out of the canvass. And further, alusion is made
to writer in the Old North State under editorial
endorsement: who contends for the mode of amend
ment by legislative enactment, because most con-
servative, and because the Senate, composed of a
large eastern majority, would never consent to a
change of the basis
The Patriot speaking for the western wings, says
these State questions CANNOT be kept out of St1te
Canvass and that it is absurd to attempt it. The
weight and influence ofthe whg party is at the West
and if the press reflects the views of the party thai
weight and influence will be cast in favor of rad
cal change of the basis and the calling of convention
will be only one means towards the Accomplishment
of that end. We need not be surprised then if some
eastern wings pause before they allow themselves
be carried away by this current Of which they can
not estimate the strength, nor find out where it il
going to carry them.
So far as we can see the democrats of the West viii
go with their eastern brethren this question: and
full party vote will be poled in that section In thu
East the instinct of sefpreservation will lead thou
sands of intelligent Wings either to act with tn
Democrats, or to refrain from acting at ALL
