OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN,

The threatened interruption of our arncablc rcla-
tons with the Spanish government on account of
the Black Warrior" difficulty, has been put to rest
by that governments coming Misunderstanding
that the Captain General of Cuba wss in the wrong
-apologising for it and granting pccunary indem-
nifty to the parties injured. This done with
promptitude highly Lcommendable in the Spanish
government, and forciby illustrates that the wrong
complained of was fragrant aid great and as such
demanded in the opinion of every one, Except per-
haps the Wilmington Herald and the Captain Gener-
al himselO instant reparation. That journal (the
Herald of the 21st ult) contends that the Captain
General did no more than he ought to have done,
and that the just complaints of this government
ridiculous 1t is fortunate for government that
the matter settled before the Queen of Spain
could possibly see the Herald's article, else our
Minister at that Court might still be engaged in
barrassng negotiations.
At any rate, the Captain General has the unspeak-
able consolation of knowing that although his
duct has been reprobated and condemned by his
own government, and will probably loose him his
place, yet the Wilmington Herald, Wing paper in
North Carolina, says he right, and periodically
sustains him in his outrages and insults to our gov
crnment and commerce.

DEMO ATTIC ST TIE CONTENTION
We publish in our paper of to day the proceed
ings of this body, Which met Raleigh the 10Th
placed its nominee, THOMAS BRAGG, Esq, for the
office of Governor, at mast head, and intend TO
kcepsit there until We shall have the satisfaction
which we confidently anticipa of announcing his
s triumphant election. y - -
ton, and with our friend s. p. WILLIAMS, Esq, had
the honor of representing the county of Gaswell.
We can truly say that we never Witnessed more
patriotic feeling, moro harmony and better spirit
than was exhibited on that occasion. Although de-
legates vent there with their predictions for diff
ferent individuals, as 1t was ascerained that
Mr.. Bragg was the choice of majority of the mem-
bers all yielded heartily and their
wishes IF there be any signs ii those demonstra-
tons, then the success OF our nominee is GER
tain. 81
Mr.. Bragg is all that the democratic party could
desire. We have known him long and esteemed
him much Firm talented, consistent of sterling
integrity, and Almost patriotic devotion to the prn
ciples which he has espoused. His political adver-
saries can say no harm of him. but politics aslde
speak in his commentator. With such candidate
we have reason to be highly gratifed, and cii-
and editor prepared to battle in his be-
half, and by all honorable and proper means to Sc
cure his election.
He has met Gen. Dockery, the wing nominee, on
several occasions while on his Superior Court Cir
cult and the request of his democratic friends
piled to him so successfully that the general Will
not like to meet him again. But meet him he must,
and meeting him he may expect to come off second
best if not by strong arguments and irrefragable
array of facts and reasons entirely demolished.
There is one fact significant of the of the
democratic party in North Carolina, which vas very
happily alluded to by Mr.. Biggs, the Chairman OF
the Committee on Resolutions in his speech. 1t
the great array of talented young men, just en-
terng the arena of political life, and who made
their maiden speeches in this Convention. With
such force to aid the talented Bragg, who will like
his brother Mai. Bragg, at Buena VISTA pour the
hot shot of argument into the ranks of political
adversaries, they must give way and sustain Wa
terloo defeat
In the coming contest let every democrat do his
duty-be punctual at the polls, and then, if We do
not succeed, shall deserve success.

DIR NOMINEE

We assure our friends throughout the State that
the nominee of Convention is entirely accepta-
BILE to the Democratic party of this section, and that
his party will rally its full strength for him. Many
are highly pleased, and all are satisfied; and it is
universally admitted that the convention could net
have made better selection. He is an Eastern
man. but the democratic party is not sectional, and
all that it requires is good man and true demo-
crat, and as such they recognize Thomas BRAGG,
and will every honorable endeavor to secure his
election.
A man of talent and sterling ability man who
acts from a consciousness of rectitude-a man who
scorns and condemns the petty trickery of politic
ans by trade, he will bear our standard proudly
and add new splendor TO it in the triumph that
awaits u.s. Stern and infexible in what he con-
ceives 20 be the right; eloquent in debate; bland
and courteous in his intercourse with his feow-ct-
zens and in the prime and vigor of manhood, he
will indeed prove a tower of strength to his party
and terror to his opponents.
The victory is ours, let work for brilliant
one. Let us have L., 900 majority

Four YEARS OF FRAUD rs. OF INTEGR1rY.-
Under the Wing administration (says the Washing
ington Unon,) which came into power in 1S49, and
gave way to its successors in 1858, series of mon
ster frauds were consummated, involving an expe2-
diture of vast sums of the peoples money, and i'm
plicating some of the most distinguished wings in
the country Under the administration of General
Pierce, which has been in power little more than
year, have had frauds punished, extravaganza Of
the worst description arrested, and economy enforc
ed in the various departments of the government!
How do the reckless calumniators of the democratic
party attempt to the orcible and admonitory
contrast? By haillng Mr.. Fillmore and his counsel
lors and those who survive of the Taylor dynasty,
so many examples of political purity and ntegri
ty, and by assailing General Pierce and his cabinet
corrupt and extravagant! The historian, when he
comes to write of the last five years, will be appall
ed at the compacent audacity with which the truth
has been sacrificed by an INSCRIPTIONS party.
