The Democratic state COnventiOn'---Co"nty
Meetings,

We would respectfully call the attention OF our
Democratic brethren in the various counties OF THIS
and the neighboring Dsricts,'to the fact that Inc
Democratic State Convention will assemble al kalegh
on the 10th of next April; and that, in order TO De
represented there, advantage must be taken OF the
earliest opportunity for the appointment OF delegates
In nearly every county the session OF some Court
either County or Superior, will intervene and afford
the opportunity desired, which we trust will not be
neglected.
Its true that little difficulty need be looked tor IN
the selection of Gubernatorial canddate-the pre-
sent incumbent has given such general satisfaction
that only in the event of his declining to be again
candidate, can that question arise But, apart from
this, there are welghty reasons why the Democracy
of the Slate should assemble together in the persons
of its abes and most Trustworthy men. The posi-
ton of the South and of the country is such as 10
demand the camest, the wsest, and the best coun-
ellis of the Democratic party; and, indeed, IN our
opinion these biennial conventions are more uSeluI
as bringing men together for muual advice and con-
suItation than even for the nomination of Guberna-
torial candidates. 1t should be remembered too,
that in pursuance Of the usage of the party IN this
State the Convention will be charged with the selec-
ton of Senatorial delegates to represent North Caro-
lima in the National Convention at Cincinnati.

day morning, with advices from Liverpool to the I'd

Everything TO indicate that peace will soon
be declared The peace protocol memorandum was
signed on the Isl inst. by the ministers of the five
powers, and short armisce will probably be agreed
upon Dispatches received in Visnna from Russia,

ditiona acceptance by the Gar of the propositions
of the Allies The Congress to have met in
Paris about the 18th inst, and everything will prob
ably be settled by the 25h inst The preliminary pro-
ceedngs &c., only await the arrival of the Turkish
Plenipotentiary, Eerbish Pacha Baron Brunow and
Count Orlof represent Russia Lord Clarendon Eng
land De Axe Clio Sardinia, Buol Austria, and Wa
lewsk France. 1t is asserted that Prussia refuses to

even mention American affairs. The London Morn.

Office on the 29th ult, and that very angry words
exch anged in relation 10 the Central American
question

Kansas Philanthropy.

In the course Of few forcible remarks by Sena.
tor Geyer on yesterday he alluded to the exerlicns

ing, which we extract from the Baltimore Sum- not
only sus aims Senator Geyer's charge but places this
phalanMropst in the light of Speculation upon north
ern anaticism for the purpose of putting money in
his own pocket:
't there be not civil in Kansas it will certain.
ly be no fault of spectators, fanatics and Gema,
gogues They have been for months, and are still,
buslly at work 10 bring about just such an event,
although at the same time protesting the utmost hor-
ror OF bloodshed and the greatest love of peace
lew days ago meeting held at Worces
ter, Massachusetts, at which, after statement from
General PomerOy that he had just sent $500 to
Kansas, which he bad collected 10 aid the State
party IN that Territory, gentleman named Thayer
was called upon tor speech, the substance of which
is thus reported
he SAID he was peace man. and his offer to fur
nish thousand superior rifles based upon an
earnest and sincere desire to prevent the shedding OF
blood. large number of men were engaged in
their manufacture in this city, and portion of them
would be completed in the coming week; but, il
was desirable that some additional arms should be
sent TO the Territory at once he proposed, 10 pay for
Ten Sharpes rifles, at $25 each, condition that,
during the coming week, other citizens of Worcester
would subscribe enough to make up the number to
one hundred rifles.
&c Several gentlemen subscribed for a rife and
sent their to the chair and before the audience
left the hall twenty three rifles equivalent the
of 1915, were subscribed for. Mr. Tbayer's generous
proposal was received with great applause, and a
committee of three appointed 10 solicit subscrip
tons for the requisite number. OF course, they will
find no difficulty in securing the material aid neceS
sary.'
An important omission in this speech is the fact
that MIR. Thayer is engaged in the manufacture of a
newly-invented rifle said to be farsuperor to Sharpes
and there are many persons cruel enough 10 imagine
that his desire to sell his rifles is at least equal to his
love of peace"

msconception of the language of tie call published
in the Journal It is simply the customary call for
public meeting of the Democrats of the county to
send delegates to Raleigh, and adopt for the
organization of the party in view of the coming cleo
tions We believe that it has always been the usage
fo the delegates to the State Convention to be ap
pointed by the primary meeting at March Court !;
and at the same meeting the assembled Democracy
decide what conventions, if any, are TO be held
how such conventions are 10 be constituted, and for
what purposes they to meet. We would not as

The TwentY-seCOnd.

To-day is the the anniversary OF the birthday
day of Washington name that has almost lost It's
personality in becoming synonyme for patriotism
and public virtue In many of the states and cities
of our Union the day will be celebrated with appro-
PIRATE exercises-in all it will awaken associations
that cannot but be conducive to the happiest Of re-
suits Born under monarchical governm ent, emf
nenty conservative in character and by association
possessed of ample MEANS which could not fail to be
imperilled by the struggle between the mother
country and her then colonies, the adhesion OF
Washington to the cause of the people, his prompt
acceptance of the army of Congress before Boston,
differed essentially from unreasOning impulse, or the
action of one simply DESTROYS of change, with little
to lose and something TO gain. The motive of his
conduct the cause which impelled him TO action
was unmisakoable: it was pr1nclple-the guiding
star of his life. 1t his steady adherence to prin
cipIe the reference of all his actions to this test
his contemporaries, and which gives to his fame its
purest lustre. Other men have had talents great
or greater patriotism as and as impuSlve, bu t
few, if any, have ever SO uniformly brought their
actions, their impulses and their passions, into so
complete subordination TO their Judgments into SO
perfect accordance with what that judgment pointed
out to them as the line of right and duty. The idea
that Washington was cold or impasslve, those who
have studied his character know 10 be totally erro
neous The contrary was the fact but his passions
and feelings were brought under the control of his
Judgment and all made subordinate to his sense of
duty.

Kossuth and the Poor of Washington and George
town, ID. G..


town, ID. q.
The KosSuth mania was one of the strange excite
ments which we occasionally witness sweeping over
the United States, speaking more accurately over
the Northern portions of it. New York, and other
such places mill have something in the way of
show or FUSS and it makes little difference whether
it be public singer like Jenny Lind foreign ora
tor half hero and half mountebank, like Kossuth
a native rowdy, like Bill Poole, whose funeral
quite as great show as the ovation made the
Ex." Governor" of Hungary OF the extra and ex-
travagant doings over Kossuth & Co.. we never APP
proved, although admired the talents of the man,
to which even his imprudence, or misconduct, could
not render US insensble. After the excitement in
regard to Hungary-the sympathy which her really
gallant struggle elected from the people of the
United States, some manifestation the part of the
people inevitable, when the great head and front
of that struggle appeared upon our shores; and
really, if Kossuth got out of his latitude and forgot
himself in his extraVagant expectations and conduct,
cannot help thinking that the people of the
United States, generally, were to the full much to
blame for spelling him as he was for being spoiled
There is one mistake, however, which is very gen.
orally made about him and the foreign element, as it
is called, in the United States. 1t is usual now to
connect foreignism and Catholicism. KOssuth was
not Catholic, on the contrary, he and his friends,
Mazzn and Others were under the ban of the Catholic
Hierarchy. The Magyar population Of Hungary
were, and we suppose are Protestants, as opposed
to Catholic Austria and, if we are not much mista.
ken, the Catholic press in the United States looked
very coldly upon him and the honors paid to him.
So that, in fact if there be, is asserted anything
like an identity between Catholicism and the foreign
element in the United States, that element was not
chargeable with the foes committed on behalf of
the great Hungarian, and great man he certainly
is, so far as mere intellect can make man great.
But that is not the question. The whole affair
was a folly and wrong, especially at Washington
city, for. privately, people have right to be foolish
on their own hook But that wrong would not make
it right to appropriate the money of the United States
in manner which members may regard as unprovi-
ded fer in the constitution, aud we have generally
noticed that members or Senators, adverse to an off
cial application of the public money to objects of 10
cal charity have volunteered to contribute their quo
ia from their private means in which we think they
were right

The Troubles In Kansas.

ST. LOUIS, February 16.-The Leavenworth Herald
OF the 9TH says that pro-savery meeting was held
there on the I'd inst. at which it was determined 10
offset the influence of the State agents sent
abroad by despalching Geo w. Mclean to the
Southern States to give the people there the pro sla-
very aspect of the case and urge the Southerners
emigrate to the Territory, and aid IN rescung the
control of affairs from the hands of the aboitionists
OF Lawrence, who are doing everything possible to
bring on civil war. They apprehend that many
free State men will refuse to follow them into rebel
lion against the federal authority and the laws of the
Territory.
The Herald of Freedom says that Messrs Robin.
son and Lane have adopted precautionary measures
and organized reglment that the forts are guarded
day and night and that munitions of war were being
collected in readiness for instant service an attack
being expected.
The Topeka Herald appeals to TIE friends of the
North and East to hold themselves in readiness to
march at moments notice, says that the struggle
begins to show itself in earnest and invokes the peo
pc of Kansas TO die in preference to surrendering.
The Presidents special Kansas message has reached
Leavenworth, but not Lawrence.
