THE COMMERCIALS FAIRNESS.

The Wilmington Commercial charges, in sub
stance, that William o. Butler, Lewis Cass, and
Stephen A. Douglas FreesoiIers. We defy
that paper to subsaEtiate charge, stand forth
branded before the State with having made an unjust
and unfounded allegation against its political oppo-
nents.
The Commercial pretends to De above party, so far
the Slavery question is concerned but that paper
has peculiar way of showing its sincerity in this
respect. 1t is willing to 60 for Scott, because he is
Whig, knowing at the time that Scott is hand
and glove with Seward, and has not thus far even
endorsed the fugive-save law; but Democrats like
Cass and Douglas, who have borne the brunt of the
fght.for years with the FEeesoilers and Aboonists,
it holds up Freesoilers and unworthy of Southern
confidence or support. Out upon such Partizan hy-
pocrisy

DAILY MAIL WEST.

The Lincolnton Republican quotes from the Sails
bury Watchman and this paper. in relation to Daily
Mail from this point West, and adds: "The above
meets our hearty approval and hope that the eff
fort will prove successful but that the action will not
be partial that the daily mail will not stop at Sails
bury, hut be continued to the Western part of the
State, through Lnconton, Shelby, Rutherfordton,
Asheville Waynesville, Franklin, on to Murphy so
that not part only, but the whole West may share
in the benefits of mail facilities.''
We agree with the Republican. We hope the
entire West may be permitted to participate in the
benefits of Daily Mail. Let oil the Towns from
this point West, take the in hand and press il
vigorously and continually upon the Department.
Their wants in this respect, if thus made known and
pressed, must and will be noticed and supplied
The Salem Press also notices our article on this
subject, and adds
g We have petition in this place, already numer-
ously signed, for daily mail between Ra leiyh and
Salisbury, and understand Messrs. Bland g. Dunn
have placed similar petitions every Post Office on
the route"
The Asheville News also enforces the Importance
of Daily Mail West. That paper says:
We trust, also, that the proposed line will not
stop short of Ashvie. We need such line and
ought to hare H. Our mail facilities are not half as
good they ought 10 be, and we trust the Depart
ment will not imagine that because We live in the
mountains our people don't read, or desire to hold
intercourse with all the rest of the world and the
balance of mankind" We most ardenty hope that,
as soon as the Greenvile and Columbia Rail Road
is completed, shall have a daily line from this
place to Greenville. The distance is only 60 miles,
and the additional cost trweekly line, would
be trifing. With daily line East, and one South,
we could go on our way rejoicing. We commend
these matters to the consideration of the Post Office
Department, and "as in duty bound shall ever
pray," &c.

CALIFORNIA GOLD.

The Prometheus has brought to New York from
her last trip 1868 900, and the Cherokee $1OOO,Ol2
together amounting to $l,953,Ol2, or nearly two
millions of dollars. The Alta California, at San
Francisco publishes abstract OF the bullion clear
ed from the custom house from October 1st Deem
Der 31st, 1851, the total of which, for the three
months ending the 31st of December, was 3d.
963 500 70, nearly fourteen millions for the quar-
ter.
Fourteen millions per quarter would amount, per
year, to fffy-sir millions And the prospect now
is that this enormous yield will be sustained. And
yet fears are expressed by Wing papers, which de-
sire National Bank to control the currency, that
the country will be reduced to bankruptcy by exPor-
tations of specie!
California, we believe, the country pronounce
ed by Mr.. Webster be worth not one dollar. There
is craftsmanship for you. If Wing counsels had
prevailed California would have been annexed
to this country, and all this vast supply of gold would
have found its way into British Golfers.

The ARREST FOR IMPROPER CORRESPONDENCE WITH
MEXICO. Itwas mentioned yesterday, in our WASH
ington correspondence, that man named James T.
LIE, has been arrested in New York. at the instance
of the United States government. Mr.. Levy's offence,
according the phrase of the warrant for his arrest
consists in having /" maciously commenced and car
red certain written correspondence and commu-
nication with the Republic Of Mexico. and Mariana
Arisa, the President thereof to the great damage of
the United States of America" An Indictment was
granted against him, by the grand jury at Washing
ton, this charge, and he was taken off to that city,
on Monday morning, by officers Bowyer and Cox.
Mr.. Levy has been an active opponent of what is
known as the Gary grant, for the Tehuantepec Ship
Canal Company. His superior acquaintance with
the circumstances under which that treaty was made
enabled him embarrass the progress Of the compa-
ny very seriously, and it is probably through their
influence that the arrest has been made. 1.-THE charge
is sustained, he will be liable to fine not exceed
ing S., 900, and Imprisonment of not less than six
months, more than three years. 1t will be SEEM
by Washington letter, that Nh Levy has been
admitted to bail. Bali. Sun.

JUST RETRIBUTIoN. When Clay as chairman of
the Committee of Thirteen, first proposed the famous
Compromise in the U. S. Senate. the two men the
prompt and bitter in denouncng it were Jerem-
all Clemens of Alabama, and Solomon Downs of
Louisiana. Subsequently, they became the apologists
of abolition, and the meekest of submissionsts. Goa
lescing with Foote, they aimed at selfaggrandize-
ment by means of the U MON party. Their apostacy
to the South has been properly rewarded. Clemens
only hope of return to the Senate was extnguish-
ed by the posiponement of the election by the Ala
bama Legislature until its next session. Downs
apostacy was still interested and Shameless and
his disgrace has been the cutting. By desert
ing the South and leagueng with Clay, he calculated
propitiate the favor of the Wings of louisiana, who
being predominant of the Legislature. held him at
their mercy. And, indeed they did.nduce him to be-
leve that they would return him to the Senate. But
their promises as false fair, and after securing
his services they contempt1ously kicked him aside
and elected Wing. Treason never prospers. Hon
esy is the best policy. The way of the transgress-
or is hard. Pets. Dem.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The Raleigh
Standard suggests, after consultation with number
of friends, that Thursday, the 18th day of May be
fixed upon the time for holding the Democratic
State Convention. This suggestion seems to meet
the appreciation of brethren of the press general
ly and we agree that it is suitable time. We hope
that the people of the several counties, in their pri
mary meetings, will recommend this day, and thus
harmony of action to the time without furth-
er difficulty. 1t allows three months in which to
hold the preliminary meetings, and twelve weeks for
the Gubernatorial campaign, which is long period
as will be necessary. We hope every county in the
State will be represented in the Convention.
