spoken of in connection with the nomination, nor
did the Democratic meeting of Warren conceive it
proper to express choice, being determined to sup
port the nominee, whoever he may be. 1t is be-
lief that Dr. Mills will be entirely acceptable, should
the Convention nominate him; and that he would
receive warm and cordial support from the entire

We are glad to the manifestations of harmoni-
feeling; visible in every part of the State in the
Democratic party. Lofty calculations have been
made upon dissentions among us; indeed, almost the
only hope of success INDUCED by our opponents has
been based the probability, some viewed it. of

TIE BLACK WARRIOR. The state Of facts now
presented with respect to the seizure and conisca-
ton of the cargo of the Black Warrior says the Bat
Sum- will no doubt induce some decided and eff
fcient action on the part of Congress. The matter
must be thoroughly understood. 1t is due to the
people of the United States that the action of the
Cuban officials should be fully justified, or on the
other hand, that ample indemnity and apology should
be made to the United States for the wrong that has
been done. The peculiar colonial relations of Cuba
to a European government is likely to be frequent
source of annoyance to the people of the United
States The capricious exhibitions of power at Ha-
vana are to be submitted to by people unresist
ingly it seems and the process of redress, if ever
obtained at all, is to be effected through the slow
operation of diplomatic intercourse between Wash
ington and Madrid Well, we shall all have an OPP
portunity to incucate the virtue of patience under
a system so conducive to the exercise of it.

When did General Dockery deny to the poor man
the right to vote for Senator, because he happened
not to have fifty acres of land? He never did any
such thing: and they who undertake to assail him,

charges, might, perhaps do we'll to find out some
thing about his opinions before they venture too far
in random assertion. He'll be round among them
after while. Fay. argus.
Is Gen. Dockery, then, in favor of Free Suffrage?
If so, why did he not say in his letter of accep-
lancet Was he ashamed to admit that in free
State like this, the rule ought to be to give poor
man as fair showing at the ballot-box as a rich
man? 1t is not every man who goes up from OBJ
security to responsibility and opulence, Gen. Dock
cry has DONE who remembers gratefully the power
by which he assembled. Such cases. we undertake

not to allude to we have heard of his over
bearing and arisocratical disposition either
the disposition or the nerve to come out for Free
Suffrage in his letter of acceptance, is pretty strong
proof that he has little if any regard for those whom

ALLIANCE WITH SPAIN AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
It is stated that some important developments have
lately occurred, showing the full signfcancy ofLord
Clarendon's declarations in Parliament relative to
their American policy, referring to which, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia American
says: =" 'S
ut is fully established that an offensive and
defensive alliance has been formed against the Uni
ted States for the protection of Spanish interests in
Cuba. The great naval ornaments of the three
powers are to be used as well against as against
Russia. The next object of the Anti-American ALI
ance is the protection of Mexico. Santa Anna has
received that if he finds it expcdent, at
this time, to sell, for very large of money, an
entirely worthless strip of territory the northern
frontier, he shall be compensated by the addition of
British Honduras the South far more valuable
and important province to Mexico For this sacri-
fee Great Britain will receive indemnity in the shape
of an arrangement for the ultimate payment of the
debt due to her subjects by Mexico; and perhaps,
and perhaps, will even receive portion of the mon
ey payable by the United States under the Gadsden
treaty"
The administration it is said is well satisfied that
the nsoent proceedings Of the Spanish authorities
in Cuba in Selling the Black Warrior to be at
tributed to their confidence in the support their
duct will receive from England and France.

1t would affect tin this way Free Suffrage would
be postponed as was in the last Legislature by the
preconcerted action of Wing leaders for this talk
about Convention is intended among other things,
to defeat the great principle of equality between free
white men. The aristocracy of the Wing party can
not brook the idea of giving men who do not own
fifty acres of land the privileges with those
who do. Such party, in such States for instance,
as Kentucky or Tennessee, would be secuted and
scorned, and its adherents would fall from it and de-
nounce it by thousands forefathers the Wings
of the Revolution abured and denounced the arsto-
cratic pretensions of the British crown. The people
of North Carolina move slowly but effectually-they
are at length, by commanding majority, avowed
Democrats; and they quite certain, in our judg
