Staupifz, wise and considerate man, said upon
this, tWell sir Martin, if you must die you must
but remember that they need good heads up
yonder, too. So preach, man, preach-and then
live or die as it happens" So Luther preached
and lived, and he became, indeed, one great
wbirlwind Of energy, to work without resting in
this world; and also before he died he wrote VERY
many boOks-books in which the true man WIS
for in the midst of all they denounced and cursed
what what touches Of tenderness lay! Look al
the table-talk for example. We see in it little
bird, having alighted at sunset on the bough of a
tree that grew ia Luther's garden. Luther looked
up at it and said:
!, "Thst little bird, how it covers down its wings.
sleeps there SO still and fearless, though over il
are the ingnte starry spaces, and the great, blue

living wonder at the fields Of corn "How IL

little windows, through which we gaze into the
interior of the serene de pths of Martin Luther'5

clouds a whole heaven Of light and love- He

AS il was, the streams of energy and modesty
met in his active spirit. Perhaps, indeed, in all

was Luther, savage kind Of a man, as people

THE CLINTON CONVENTION.

We learn, from the last Wilmington Journal that
WARREN NINsLow, Esq, of Cumberland, was NOM
mated on Tuesday last by the Convention at Clin-
ton the Democratic candidate for Congress in the
third District The journal says:
awe learn from John Taylor, Esq, of Brunswick
County, who arrived in town this morning from Clin-
ton, where he had been to attend the Democratic
District Convention delegate, that the Conven-
ton organized yesterday, by electing George HouS
:on Esq, of Wilmington, President and one Vice
President from each county; Jas. Fulton, of Will
mington, and VIM. j. Yates of Fayetteville, Sec
retaries.
The t,ro-thirds rule was adopted. The Guberna-
torial vote of last August was also adopted as the
basis upon which to be governed in voting.
The Convention very full one-every Coun-
ty being represented
Upon the seventh ballot WARREN WINSLOW,
ESQ.,, of Fayetteville, selected, the standard
bearer of the Democratic party, of the third Con-
gressonal District, for sent in the next Congress
of the United States.
The Editor, Mr.. Fulton, detained at Clinton
last night, in order presume to draw up the pro-
ceedngS of the Convention. Otherwise would
have been able to give full report of the doings of
the Convention to-day. We learn that very strong
Notwithstanding resolutions were adopted, and
that Mr.. WinSlOw- being IN attendance at Court was
informed of his nomination soon after it was made.
He accepted of the some in short but most appro-
pirate speech endorsing the resolutions adopted by
the Convention with his whole heart
We arc pleased to learn that the Convention was
conducted with the utmost harmony and decorum,
and that the best sort of feeling evinced. This
augurs we'll for our party.
We now unfilr our banner to the breeze, and defy
Know Nothngism, any other ism that may spring
up"
Messrs Winsow, 7. S. D. Mcdowell, of Baden,
and Norment, of Robson, were in nomination.
The Democracy of the third District have a can
didate who is worthy of the cause and of their best
exertions in the canvass. Mr. Winslow will be tri-
umphanty elected, the calculations of the dark-an-
tern Order to the contrary notwithstanding.
The next Journal will no doubt contain the pro-
ccedings, which shall take pleasure in laying be-
fore our readers.

THE CONFESSIONAL.


We, the associate editor of the Standard, cannot
but feel grateful to the old gentleman who presides
the Raleigh Register for his interest in our well
fare; and taking him for our " father confessor
will proceed, after manner, to answer GER
tain nterrogatolies propounded in his last ISSUE
We commence with his preamble:
There is but little difference if any, between the
suppression of truth, when in justice it ought to be
uttered, and the suggestion of falsehood."
That is rich for the Register, who in the very
tice under consideration, suggests string of false
hoods by asking questions calculated and designed
to create false impressions. Such has been the his
tory of the Register for years Instances might be
enumerated but forbear, and proceed to his ques
tons:
q. Why did not the Standard" in its account
of Leach's Franknton erp0se, publish what he said
about the third dcgrce-TnAr + WAS HOSTILE TO
ABoILTIONIsM?"
Simply because he said no such thing The ques-
ton suggests naked falsehood.
80. Why did it not state that towards the last of
his developments he forced to admit he had
never Withdrawn from the order, but was still men,
ber?"
He admitted no such thing but said expressly that
he did not consider himself a member-he had nev-
err withdrawn formally but had never been in a lodge
since he joined. Will the Register say that Mr.
Leach is still member? Question suggests two
falschoods.
90. Why did it not also state that Mr.. jenkins,
Mr.. Bachelor, and other gentlemen of the party, de-
nounced the whole proceeding and exhibition as dis
honorable and base?'
We heard no delegate in the Convention out of
it make any such denunciaton. five had, unless it
had been spoken publicly in Convention, would
have been guilty of meanness to have reported it.
During Mr. Leachs speech the cars arrived, and the
Warren delegation including the gentlemen named
above, if we rightly recolect, forced to leave
The question suggests as think, something worse
than falsehood.
"a. Why did it not state that whilst there were
in the Convention men calling themselves gentlemen,
who justified the act, in the face of the solemn obi
cation he had taken to keep secret what he was
posing, there also others present belonging to
the Odd Fellows and Masons, who declared that any
one, who would be guilty of such conduct justi-
fed it, should be kicked out of the company of hon.
orabe men!"
We heard no Odd Fellow nor Mason declare any
such thing; do we believe that any good Odd
Fellow or Mason would make any such declaration
Some spurious" who had bartered his Odd
Fellowship or Masonry for Know Nothingsm might
have used such language, but if so did not hear it.
There are four other questions that are general in
their nature, and which it is none of our peculiar
province to answer, especially some of them refer
to the future which we do not pretend to read.
Wetrust our venerable father confessor is satisfied

LIGHT WANTED.

AS Zone good turn deserves another" will our
" father confessor" of the Register answer us few
questons9
1. How was it that your Dispatch concerning the
Petersburg election, dated the 6th the day after the
election, was all wrong?
2. Did your dispatch say Rambault was elected
Mayor?
8. When did you receive that dispatch?
4. Who sent that lie graphic dispatch? was it
le-graphed after its reception?
5. Was that dispatch falsehood, or only ''sug-
geston of fllsehood ~
6. Did that party, with Mr.. Rayner at its head,
go to Petersburg on Tuesday to congratulate Ct Sam
upon his glorious victory? If not, why not?
Were it not an unreasonable request we would say,
Come, "tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the TRUTH
