NORTH CARoLINA.-The Democratic
State Convention which assembled at
Charlotte on the 18th inst, nominated
Hon. John W. Ellis, of Rowan county,
for Governor. The convention was the
largest, and the most imposing in every
respect, that ever assembled in the State
Among the resolutions passed by the
convention was the following:
Resolved, That we cordially approve of
the administration of James Buchanan,
believing it to be marked by ability, i'm
partiality and devotion to the constitu-
tional rights of all sections Of the coun-
try; and more especially do we endorse
his position in favor of the immediate
admission of Kansas with the Lecompton
constitution, and regard that measure as
essential to the quiet of the country,
and an act of simple justice, the rejec-
ton of which can only be viewed as a
blow aimed at the equality of the States
in the Union.

EE- On Saturday evening young
man named Newman walked into the
Mission (Episcopai) church, in Brook
Ign, and, after carefully viewing the
congregation, walked up to young la
dy in the choir, whose name is Francis
]. Bennett, and drawing dagger, made
desperate though unsuccessful attempt
to plunge it in her breast, She screamed
and as second effort was being made by
the fellow to carry out his awful object,
some gentlemen interfered and secured
him. The youth had fallen in love with
the young lady against her will, and being
peremptorily dismissed, took this meth
cd of being revenged. When arrested
he remarked, amidst tears, 81 don't
care if do go up for year. I'll love
her just as much as ever" He said
that he only intended to kill her out
of love, so that no one else could have
her. The affair created an intense ex-
element among the congregation.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. We
venture the opinion, (says the Baltimore
Sun y if the act passed by the late
Legislature, providing for new consti-
tuition in the State of Maryland, should
be carried into effec. to the result it pro-
poses, that it will be pr olifc of mischief,
and nothing else. On the fourth We'd
nesday of May next the people are to
vote upon the question whether they will
have constitutional convention at a
given time or not. This proceeding
originated with tho Legislature. No
suggestion that we ever heard of went
from the people to the Legislature upon
the subject. Not so much as ward or
county meeting ever breathed an aspi-
ration for the favor thus prodigally flung
before US. The thing was concocted, if
not amongst members of the Legislature,
certainly cut of public surveillance. 1t
had party origin and support; was sus-
tanned and carried by party votes, while
the press and people scarcely uttered a
word upon the subject For our own
part, we could not realize the success of
the movement in the Legislature, and
were completely taken by surprise on
finding that the thing had become law.
1t remains for the people, if they can,
to check this mischievous proceeding at
the outset.
In general point of view the move
ment is altogether exceptionable. The
present constitution of Maryland is pos
sibly defective. This may be conceded
of any human device, and certainly Of
any governmental institution. We can
never hope for perfect organic law, il
the proof of perfection is to be unani-
mously approved And even could we
produce an instrument that should com
mand unanimous approval, progressive
experience would, in the future, suggest
Improvement. There has been much
vague and senseless clamor against the
existing constitution of Maryland, yet
we are convinced that it has worked,
upon the whole, an effectual good. One
great thing was accomplished by it,
The organic law of the State was rescued
from the iron grip oflegislative stolidity
and from legislative Indifference to pop
ular progress, and brought out and re-
tanned within the reach of the people. -
And this organic law itself was by tn,
people made the instrument of its owl
reform, and improvement, and recon
struction, by providing for vote of tn,
people every ten years upon the necessi
ty or propriety of a constitutional con
vention. This provision is a prudent
honest. and impartial one. 1t antici
pates no special or party influences. I
names point of time consistent will
other circumstances, at which the PEG
pie, independent of all party dominancy
shall have an opportunity to declar
their sentiments upon SO import ant
measure.

PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE DIOCESE OF
THE 2. e. CnURcH.-We learn that a
convention of the clergy and lay dele
gates of the Episcopal church of the
Eastern Shore assembled at Cambridge
on Wednesday last, the 18th of April,
in accordance with a previous arrange
ment, to take into consideration the ex-
pediency of dividing the diocese of Ma
ryland, so as to create bishopric for the
Eastern Shore ard one for the Western
Shore. The convention recommended
the division of the diocese by large
majority. 1t is understood that this re-
commentator meets with the approval
of Bishop Nottingham, and that he
prefers the bishopric of the Eastern
Shore, if the proposed division be made,
and that it will be rendered to him, and
that be will probably make hisresidencs
in Cambridge. Sun.

EASTERN SHORE CONVENTION. We
cheerfully accede to the expressed wish
of this convention, and devote, to-day,
nearly our entire outside to its proceed
ings. 1.-The action of this body, it will
be seen, has not been signalized by any
violent demonstration, as was apprehend-
ed by many, with reference to the resist
ance to taxation until the claim of the
Eastern Shore should be satisfied. There
is an earnest tone, however, in the papers
put forth by the convention, and they
were adopted, after discussion, with en-

Governor was presented to him on the

for that purpose, but what will be his
response thereto we have yet to learn.
