Why should the Standard desire Convention in
this District? Is it not perfectly satisfied with Mr..
Branch If it is, why the idle ceremony of Con-
vention? If it is not why doesn't it come out and
state its objections to Mr.. Branch and the reasons of
its preference for somebody else ?-Register.

District which do not embrace the other Districts

The Standard Is "satisficd with Mr.. Branch" !"

THE DISTRICT CoNvENrIoN.-The place for holding
the Convention in this District has not yet been
fixed upon. Nash has declared for Franklinton,
Orange for Hilsborough, and Wake and Johnston
for Raleigh The Conventions have heretofore been
held at Franknton; and though we should be
pleased to see our Democratic brethren of the Dis
trict in Raleigh, think it probable that Franklin
Granville and Warren will declare for Franklinton
That will decide it. 1t is fair therefore, to presume
that the Convention will be held at Franklinton on

ilustrous Chief of the Republic that homage which
his talents, character, and long and eminent public
services deserve from grateful people"

ALBANY, April 1.-Yischcr Ten Eyck has been
nominated for Police Commissioner, under the new

the Americans. The balance Of the city ticket will
be Union-Neac York Times
And so it is everywhere in the non-slavehold-

" Americans" " endorse, and the opposition" to Dc
mocracy is thus formed. This is the combination
which the Democracy will have to encounter in
1860; and not only this, but the cooperation with
this combination of large portion of the Southern
Know Nothings. In view of these facts, and seeing
that the only national party that remains is the
Democratic will not every true Southern man rally

FIRST Gun FROM VIRGISIA.-Geo. W. Grice, Esq,
Democrat was reelected Mayor of Portsmouth on
Saturday last by saS majority over Mr.. Daushtrey,
Know Nothing We have heard a good joke in
connection with this election. 1t seems that Mr.
Grce, relying on his faithful discharge of duty and
his party strength, electioneered but little, while
Mr. Daughtrey exerted himself to the utmost
Daughtrey, too, was very sanguine, and declared
the evening before the election public speech,
that he would soon be standing in Mr. Grces shoes.
WE'LL the election took place, and evening or so
afterwards Mr.. Grice entertained large party of
his friends Among others, Mr. Daughtrey was in
yited, and when he reached the mansion of his sue
cessful opponent he found pair of Mr.. Grices
shoes thoroughly polished awaiting his use in the
passage. He eyed them with interest and amid
much hilarity himself goodnaturedly joining in the
laugh and at last declared they were too large for
him. The company had good time of it until the
small hours, when they separated in the best humor

~ The Charlotte Democrat concludes an article
in relation to Judge Douglas and the doctrine of
non-ntervention in the Territories with the follow
ing sensible observations
ut seems to us that Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Brown
require too much in asking Congress to make slave
code for Kansas for if it has the power to say that
territory shaU maintain slavery, it also has the
power to say territory shall abolish it. In this
way the South would lose in the end for the free
States already have control of Congress and they.
might exercise the doctrine of intervention to our
great injury. If the people Of a territory do not
want slavery, all the laws passed by Congress from
now till doonls-day could not force it npon them,
unless powder and ball were used, and hardly then
No, the true policy of the South is to favor non-n-
tervcntion in the territories, and leave the people
thereof perfectly free to settle the question-if ma
jority elect to abolish slavery let it be so or if
majority establish slavery, well and good We
ought not-and cannot do it if we ought-undertake
to force our institutions and customs upon any peo
pie. All VIC want is equal rights and equal privile-
gcs, and if We carry our slaves to territory, and
cannot out-vote the free State men, why proper
ty will be subject to local laws to certain extent;
but if those laws in violation of rights guaran-
tied by the constitution the courts are the proper
tribunals to furnish remedy. We would sooner
trust the courts than Congress with our rights"

ORroN AND OLDER's CRcUs.-We do not affect
circuses particularly, nor do we particularly ignore
them. We sympathize somewhat with the small
boys who consider the clown, Mr. Tubbs The strong
man. and the performing leopard, very mcntionable
institutions; nor should we forget the man who
walks the wire and whrls the plates. Then again
we consider Mr. Orton, one of the managing persons
of the establishment, gentleman of taste and dis
elimination, inasmuch as he positively refused to
charge for admitting about seventeen of us, nclud
ing Mr. d., the devil, our foreman, venerable as
sociate, ourself and the colorcd individuals who
stitue the African power of our Adams power press
Circuscs are inevitable facts and being inevitable
facts duly taxed by the State ard snappers up and
crculators of much small change it would be folly
to quarrel with or about them. If you go to the
circus and think you have done wrong in going,
quarrel with yourself, and not with the circus. If
you do not 60, be tender and charitable towards
Others, for ten to one you had vague wish to go
yourself But "Orton and Older" have departed.
The great French horn has ceased to sound and the
sad sweet notes of the octave flute trilling far
away. The leopard snarls as he did the other day,
and raises his paw in deprecating, hafsavage way
at MI: Tubbs, but drops it like lead under the sting
of the cruel cow-hide. The performing lion sleeps
the sleep that knows no waking" for Mr.. w. has
the skin, or did have it in proof of the lions DEATH
which took place not in accordance with the bills at
the depot of the name of Morrisville. Upon the
whole it successful circus, and acquitted itself
very well. We say this with the utmost disnter-
estedness, if we did sec it without paying for the
sight. We assure our readers that that little cir
cumstance had no effect whatever on our opinion
elsewhere will say so; and they will mark one
thing to wit, that the clown Mr.. Constable enter
tans with good taste and without the least alloy Of
