COALITION.

The Philadelphia Enquirer, Know Nothing Fill

coalition already commenced, between the black
Republicans and the K. Ms. That paper is of op-

Hale or Greedy will be united on to attempt the
throw ofthe Nebraska bill and the Democratic party.
How can Southern men support such reckless
course?

WAKE COUNTY.

Our Democratic friends in Middle Creek District,
it will be seen, have held meeting and appointed
delegates to the County Convention to be held in
Raleigh on Monday of May Court.
We trust the Democrats and anti-Know Nothings
of the various other Districts in the County, will
follow the example. Let us have full Convention.
SO that what we DO may stand, and prevail over all
opposition. With union, organization. and energy
we can elect the entire ticket for the Legislature and
a Democratic Sheriff. Our cause is good one, and
we have the numbers; and therefore, if we are de-
feated the blame will be on our own heads.

RuleigA Register.
Such is the language of the Register with refer
ence to the late Democratic State Convention.
The Register has not told it readers scho these
"toreign patriots are. We will mention some of
them, follows: John D. Hawkins, of Franklin I;
Joseph Allison, of Orange; John Hackney, of Chat
ham Michael Collins. of Warren Col. Isaac Wins
ton, of Franklin; George Houston, Of New Hanover,
James Terrell, of Wake. These are the men, not to
mention others. who are spoken of as "Joreign pa
triots, ".-men who were born here, and who have
grown gray in the service of their country-somc if
not all of whom voted for Jefferson for President
and who could have had no earthly motive in attend
ing the Convention but the good of their State and
country. "Foreign patriots "-such is the miserable
slang, directed against such men, by which the
"great American C0 party is to be built up!

FRANcE.-The Paris correspondent of the London
Times states that council Of ministers was held at
the Tuilercs at half past eleven o'clock on Satur-
day, and remained in session till - Sunday. Tho
Emperor presided, and gave his last instructions to
Count Waewski He then returned to his official
residence to receive the p!cnipotenares. They came
at half-past twelve, and after the treaty was read
over, proceeded to sign it. The moment the sigma
lures were completed a signal was given, and can
non proclaimed the news. Bulletins announcing
the fact, were posted throughout the city,
Observation-Disclosures re-assembled on the 31st
In reply to questions, Lord Palmerston said, though
the treaty of peace was signed, yet was determine
ed by the Congress that the particular conditions Of
the treaty should not be made public until the
ti6cat,ons exchanged. At the same time he
would express his conviction that the treaty would
be deemed satisfactory to- England and the whole Of
Europe. 1t would be found, he said that the objects
for which the war was undertaken, had been accom-
plshed; that the integrity and independence of the
Turkish Empire had been secured that the treaty
is honorable to all the contracting powers; and,
while on one hand it has put end toa war which
every friend of humanity must have naturally wish
ed to see concluded on the other hand, it will lay
the foundation of peace, which, he trusted, would
be lasting and enduring.
On Monday the Lord Mayor of London made an
official proclamation of Peace, from the portco Of
the Mansion House, and afterwards from the Ex-
change Tower. And the Park guns fired a salute,
and flags were generally displayed throughout the
city and by the shipping. Utmost other cities SINH
lar displays were made, but not much enthusiasm
was shown otherwise.

victory is "6efore them," and long way before
them at that. They are not likely to catch up

The REGIsTERs MIsREPREsENTATIoNs-T last
Register, speaking of the late Democratic State Con-
vention, says:
There were about As Counties represented person
and by proxy, cgoco esnaate by 14O Delegates"
Now, this is one of the most aimless and ridicu-
lous lfalsehoods ever yet told in that newspaper
Did not the Editor know that his statement so wide
of the truth, would be exposed? The published
proceedings of the Convention show that instead of
one hundred and forty delegates, there were too
hundred and seoenty,1s in attendance Will the
Editor make the correction? We will see. Again,
he says his estimate is "locofoco one" We do
not believe it
But the Editor adds, after the above statement,
the following:
cit will be SEEM therefore, that despite the confident
glorious Convention of the American party Greensboro
oug surpassed in respect the recent assembage
sposen here 7akiny the respective Recommendations as an
indication Of coming eyents friends hdye eCery
to enter upon the 0th tile certain dt cc
tory Is before them"
Very well-let US take the respective demonstra-
tons as an indication of coming events" The pub
lished list of the Greensborough Convention shows
that there were two hundred and eight delegates in
attendance there,-the published list of the Demo-
cratic Convention shows two hundred and seventy
five delegates Make the count, Mr.. Register, and
satisfy yourself So, according to the Register, the
Democrats have every reason to enter upon the
canvass with the certain assurance" of victory
Where now arc the X. Ms? The Register has chal-
lenged the comparison and the result of it is ac-
cording to his own showing, that his party will be
beaten. That is very good. We have no objection
to such Editorials in the Register

The spirit exhibited at this meeting has left an
impression among us fatal to plot and cabal and
truly encouraging to all who wish well to their
country. Until the tyranny of club-polticans shall
succeed in the bitter days of the French revolu
ton, in strangng the public voice, and in putting
down the power of discussion, the future of this
mighty Union and the freedom of the world, which
is involved in its continuance, have nothing to fear.
Rutherfordton, April IA, 1856.
RALEIGH-THE MnrrARY-One of the most pleas
ing incidents connected with the visit of the Demo-
cratic delegates to Raleigh, was the military display
on Thursday, by the Oak City Guards under Cap
tain Harrison, the Independent Guards, under Cap
tain DeCarteret and the Raleigh Cadets, under Cap
tain Loveoy. These fine companies turned out as
citizen sodiery, to pay compliment to gentlemen
visiting their city from all parts of the State, and
also we feel assured to evince their high respect for
and appreciation of Gov. Bragg as gentleman and
citizen. What the politics of the members of the
companies may be we are not informed; politics
had nothing to do with the matter.
Dr. Pritchard, of Warren, on behalf of the Presi-
dent Of the Democratic Convention, in a neat adj
dress, invited the companies to take seats on the
floor Of the Commons Hall, in which the Conven-
ton was held Captain DcCarteret replied in few
remarks, conceived in exceedingly good taste, and
accepted the invitation. In the Hall the companies
were welcomed-warmlv and eloquently welcomed
by the President, to whom Lieut. Tucker, of the
Oak City Guards, responded very happily. After
some remarks of pleasant character, from DR.
Pritchard and o, hers, the Convention adjourned.
z The military display was in every way an honor
to the city, both from the fine appearance and dis
motive which prompted it We must not forget the
Cadets, who, il anything, surpass their grown-up
brethren-inarms Captain Lovejoy adopts pretty
nearly the same course with his scholars as that
adopted by Capt Radclif, of.our own place.
