National Convention.

The National Executive Democratic Con-
nittec met at Washington city on the 7th,
for the purpose Of fixing the day for the
meeting of the National Democratic Con-
vention. Charleston, S. c., having been
designated By the Cincinnati Convention
four years age, as the place, the Committee
has decided that Monday, the 23d day Of
April next, shah be the time of its assem-
bling.
A resident committee was appointed to
superlntend the printing and publication Of
documents, &C., consisting Of the following
members: G. J.. Vallandigham, of Ohio,
Chairman Charles J. Faulkner, Of Va;
John Cochran, Of N. Y; John Logan, Of
HI: VIM. Biglcr, Of Pa; w. Barksdale, OF
Miss; Taylor, Of Iaa: and W. H. English,

Return Of Troops.

The West Augusta Guards Of Statntoh,
who have been on duty at Charlestown for
the last ten days or two weeks, returned
home on last Tuesday. They were met at
the cars by a large number Of admiring
friends, DESTROYS of welcoming the ''return-
ed soldNs." After parading Main street,
they proceeded to their arrnory room, where
was prepared for them by the citizens, a
substantial banquet, to which they paid their
compliments as only men who have bee N
fed on crackers and middling for some time
can. No one could have helped noticing
the immense improvement in the drill of
the Guards since they have been on duty.
If no ether good should result from the or
dering Of troops to Charlestown than the
improvement of our volunteer corps, this of
itself would be sufficient tojrstify the move
ment All the members seemed to be in
the finest spirits, and although glad to get
home, they, to man. express their entire
readiness to perform any duty in defence of
their State which its Executive may think

The Boston Press and Post.

We call attention to an article in another
column from this most excellent and COLI
sentative Northern journal. We take occa-
sion here to bear testimony to tie conser-
vatism, boldness in defence Of the rights Of
the South, and the ability with which this
paper has ever been conducted, since we
have been reader of it. Published in
Boston, the very hot bed Of abolitionisn, It
has never faltercd in proclaiming tie truth,
the unyarnished truth, to its Northern read
ers.
If New England and the North could
boast one hundred such journals as the Post
we would look to the preservation Of the
Union Of these States as certain thing.
We commend the article to the careful
perusal Of our readers, and advise them. il
they wish to subscribe to sound, conserva-
tive and able Northern paper, to send i'm
mediately to the editor of the Boston Press
ard Post.

EY The following is an extract froi1
the Infamous Helper Pamphlet, entitled The
Impending Crisis of the South" which
was signed by Seward and sixty members
Of the last Congress, among whom was sher.
man, the Black Republican candidate FIJI
speaker: m
$50 it seems that the total number of ac-
tual slave owners, including their entire
crew of cringing lick-spittles, against
whom we have to contend, is but three hun
dred and forty -seven thousand five hundred
and twenty-five. Against this army for the
defence and propagation ofslayery we think
1t will be an easy matter-independent Of
the negroes, who, in nine cases out Of ten,
would he delighted with an opportunity to
cut their masters threats, and Without ae-
cepting d single recruit from either Of the
free States, England, France or Germany
to muster one at least three times as large
and far more respectable, fer its utter ex-
tinction. Fe are determined to abolish
slavery at all hazards -in defiance Of all
opposition, Of aohateuer nature. 6hich it IS
possible for the slaveocrats to bring against
us. Of this they MAY take due notice, and
govern themselves accordingly:

Virginia Packet for Liverpool.

The Richmond Dispatch Of Wednesday,
says: "a new and elegant barque, the 'Pi-
oneer,' which has been purchased for the
Virginia and Liverpool line, is now load
ing, AMI will sail with dispatch. This
is the first vessel Of the new line, glorious
enterprise, around whichswe hope the peo-
pie of Virginia will rally as ore man. Let
every merchant, cotton grower, and tobac-
co dealer Of the South determine to sustain
only Southern ship owners. Let every man
in Virginia, who is a purchaser and con-
surer, sustain the patriotic Virginians who
are establishing this line. We would add
that agents have been selected in Liverpool,
!so that our importing merchants may for
ward their orders at once, and thus have
their goods brought directly into Virginia
waters. Due notice will be given to i'm
porters when the Pioneer is expected to
return from LIVERPOOL"

The Houston Petrol.

We have received, with the request to
exchange, the Houston Petrol, which has
been purchased and in future will be edit
ed by our old friend; Mr.. A III CARRIER for4
merly of Staunton. The Petrol is q neat
sheet, full of interesting reading matter,
and published weekly. The first number
of the Petrol under the auspices Of its new
editor contains editorials embodying deter
mined opposition to squatter sovereignty,
earnest advocacy of congressional interven-
ton for the protection Of slave property in
the territories, and glowing eulogy on
Gov. Wise. With ouch principles, the Pc
trel cannot fail of success in so staunch a
Southern State as Mississippi
We extend to Mr. CARRIER the righthan
of fellowship, and wish him all success.

The Legislature

In both Focuses reports of Committees
were received on Tuesday opposed to grant
ing the petition Of Thomas VIM, Of Iowa,
asking the Communication Of the sentence Of
Edwin Coppic. This is as it sEo1ld be let
not one Of tie insurgents be allowed to
go home to preach impunity to their sym
pathisers. Let Northern abolitionism know
that certain death awaits any and all men
who dare to invade the sovereignty Of Vir-
einia.

SEWARD AND TIE Heller PAMpHLET
VIM. IF. Seward cannot say, as Sherman
and other abolitionists have, that be did not
know what the Helper pamphlet contained,
when he signed it, for On the cover Of that
volume appears the following certificate from
him:
Il have read the Impending Crisis Of
the South with deep attention. 1t seems
to me to be work of great merit-rich,
yet accurate, in statistical information, and

AFFECTING BEREAvEMENT.-We are rare
ly called on to record so severe a bereave-
nent, as that just sustained by the family
of the Hon. John Letcher. in the death Of
his second son, Andrew Holt Letcher. -
The deceased was fine promising youth
on the verge Of ten years Of age, and n
deared to his relatives and friends hy~nnany
engaging and attractive quallties,(on Mon
day week, he received woupa from splin-
ter in the hand, which seemed to be trising,
carsing no great pain and giving no indica-
tons Of any possible serious consequences.
On Sunday last, however, symptoms Of
lock jaw were Enthusiastically developed, and
after several holrs of intense agony, which
medical skill in vain attempted to relieve,
death terminated his suforings. So sud
den and heavy blow has overwhelmed the
family with affection, and excited feeling
of deep and sincere sympathy on the part
Of our entire community. Valley Star,

The State Convention.

The National Democratic Central Com.
mittee, appointed for that purpose, has tx
ed upon Monday, the 2Sd Of April as the
DAY Tor the assembling at. Charleston Of the
Democratic Convention to select candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency Of
the. United States.
The day selected is six weeks earlier. than
that upon which the Cincinnati Convention
met. This change was made On account OF
the climate of Charleston. This earlier as
sembling of the National Convention, neces-
states earlier action on the part Of the State
Conventions, many Of which have already
been held. Tie custom in Virginia here
totore has been for the Democratic members
Of the two Houses to fix upon the day, and
invite the counties to send delegates to a
convention upon that day. t#@E
This meeting Of the Democratic members
Of the Legislature has, heretofore, been held
about the first Of Jautary, because the Ma.
tional Convention did not assemble until
junc-tbut now that Che 23,d OF April is
the time appointed for the Convention, we
suggest an early action on the part Of the
members of the Legislature to call together
the Democracy Of Virginia
We understand that some Of the Elector-
al Districts are already acting in the matter
of District Conventions for the election Of
Delegates to Charleston this action on the
part Of the Electoral Districts is entirely free
and independent Of any connection with the
State Convention, and can, therefore, be
held whenever 1t may suit the pleasure Of
the counties composing the Districts.
Many of the States have already held
their Conventions, and the State of Virgin
ia SHOULD act early. We hope, therefore,
that an early meeting of the State Conven-
ton Will be held. -Richn,ond Enquirer.
