A meeting of the democrats of Steel Greek Beat
held on the 18th ut. On motion, L Nj Boyd
appointed Chairman, and Dr. Sloan re-
quested to act Secretary
On motion of r II Swami the chairman appoint
ed committee, consisting Of NJ Swami, r b
Lowrie, r II Swami, T J Simerel, and J Sloan,

The committee reported the following:
Whereas, we, portion of the democrats of Steel
Greek beat, believing in the principle long since
settled of holding Conventions, have convened for
the purpose of selecting delegates to represent us
in the County Convention to be held in Charlotte
on Tuesday of April Court, for the purpose of

PoLYGAMY.-A bill is now beforethe House of
Representatives to prohibit polygamy in Utah.
At first glance the object of this bill seems cor
rect and praiseworthy-a good citizens would re-
joice to see polygamy suppressed and the customs
of the Mornons reformed in this respect-but
whether Congress has the right to interfere in the
matter is a question which demands serious refec-
ton and consideration. This consideration is the
more important at this time inasmuch as the Black
Republican party claim the power of Congress to
interfere with the local institutions of Territory
even to the adjustment of slavery. An important
principle is involved which much concerns the
South, the weaker party in the House. We should
rejoice to see the corruptions of Mormonism sup
pressed, but if the concession Of the right to Con-
gress to suppress it would imply the right Of that
body to interfere with other institutions in a ter
rtory it is we'll for southern to hesitate before
admitting it. The South is fast losing the ascen-
dency in Congress, and the power of that branch
of the Government should be kept restricted with
in the limits fthe Constitution.

DEFENSE OF EHE Crow The Atlantic Monthly
gives original hint concerning the crow, showing
that he is much greater friend of the farmer
than many suppose. He consumes vast quantities
of grubs caterplars, field MICE young rats, lizards,
snakes and other noxious vermin, and is volunteer
sentinel about farm, and keeps off the hawk from
its enclosure. 1t is briefly during seed time and
harvest that the crow commits depredatons- during
the remainder of the year he makes amends with
his services

THE CAMPAIGN.-We regret that some of the
opposition papers already manifesting good
deal of bad feeling in the contest about COM
mencng between the two parties in this State.
The campaign is an unusually long one, and if
they allow themselves to become too much excited
now, how will they be before the contest is over?
If such things occur in the green tree what may
we not expect In the dry.
In this connection refer particularly to an
article in the last Iredel Express headed "Gov.
Ellis speech" in which democrats, the democratic
presses and Gov Ellis are all denounced in no very
nice terms. Gov. Ellis is accused of talsehoOd and
pronounced dcmagogue and trickster, deserving
of contempt, &c. &c Now very sorry to sec
our friend Of the Express pursuing such course
and using so many naughty epithets towards his
democratic friends 1t is calculated to engender
bad spirit, besides it won't do any good to his own
party. Our friend has had experience enough to
know that the best plan to make the world believe
that man has told lie is to prove it, and not
merely assert it. Whenever the Express, or any
other opposition paper, can prove the incorrectness
of the positions and statements contained in the
late speech Of Gov. Ellis it will DE time enough to
call on the people to desert him.
Our friend of the Asheville Advocate, also, is
evincing little more spleen than expected to
find in him. Certainly, he cannot really think the
Governor and the democrats are as bad set Of peo
pie as his paper represents.
We mention these two papers because we are
acquainted with their editors and admire them and
are gratifed when we hear of their prosperity,
tlemen; but certainly they speak hastily when they
apply the term "falsehood' and false to Gov.
Ellis so frequently. Others are to blame equally
as much; and all might well remember that
blows can be returned as hard they send. but
we doubt very much whether the public will be
edited or benefited by such kind of warfare.

CHARLESTON AND THE CuNVENTION.-Our
Charleston contemporaries very much inclined to
sustain and palliate the enormous cxactions pro-
claimed in the bill of fare for all attendants at the
Charleston Convention They also reply tartIy to
all complaints coming from Northern exchanges
We assure them that throughout the State there is
very general dissatisfaction, and the reputation of
the city has not been benefited by either the pro-
posed charges or their C"iuntLia Car
Four years ago, at Cincinnati, when the COM
plant against hotcl-kcepcrs for high charges was
general among the delegates, southern gentlemen
assured the members of the Convention that if the
next meeting was held in Charleston they would
meet with better and more liberal treatment We
speak what we know, for we were present and
heard several conversations the subject between
representatives from different States But from
present indications. visitors to Charleston may not
expect good treatment as those who went to
Cincinnati received. The few extra dollars which
may be charged by the Charlestonians are nothing
compared with the principle and spirit of the thing
And although some of the citizens may get little
more money by the operation, yet the character of
the city will suffer in the estimation Of everybody
For the sake of southern city, one in whose pros
perity all feel interest, we do hope that any
just cause of complaint may yet be avoided

A PROPER ANswER-The Black Republicans
of the House of Representatives, backed by the
opponents of Democracy generally, passed resolu-
ton calling upon President Buchanan to know if
he (the Presidency had sought to interfere with
elections, or if the public money had been used
Cor eectioneering purposes. This was direct in
suit to the President and impeached his honesty on
vague and unfounded rumOrs. The whole matter
was concoctcd for the purpose of making capital
against the democratic party.
The President has very properly answered the
insulting inquiry by denying the right of the House
to question him in that way. If they want to in
vestigate his conduct, let specific charges be made
and they will be met fully and fairly, and their
falsity proven.
We quote as follows from the Geographic account
of the proceedings of the House on Friday:
The President sent in message protesting against
the action of the House with regard to the Executive
department. growing out of the terms of Mr. COvOdc's
aedged corruption investigating committee. and deny
ing that the House could investigate his conduct except
under the impeachment clause of the Constitution; say
ing that the privileges extended to ckpOcketS were
denied him. He challenges proof to show that his
political conduct has been contrary the princi
pie. Of honor.
McsSrs. Sherman and Grow (RcpublicanS) took issue
with the President the saving that such doc

The Washington correspondent of the South
caronan says:
THE House has given Williamson, who con-
tests the seat of Mr. Sickles, Dem, time to take
testimony. If any kind ola case is made out
against Sickles, he will be apt to 60 overheard
for there is evidently an ''enfe"tc cordioF' be-
tween the various shades of opp siton and the Re-
lublicans; each equally regard the Democracy as
the common enemy and think it patriotic work
to thin them out of the House. The good accord
between them will, | have no doubt manifest it
self when the Baltimore cases come up. 1t is re-
membered that Winter Davis came to the rescue at
the critical moment during the election of Speak
err, and common decency, of course, requires his
Republican allies to see that he receives no detri-
ment from the sword Of justice, welded by the
fierce Democracy"
1t is worthy of remark, in regard to the contest
for Sckles seat, that Mr. Gilmer has made minor
