1t is commonly salt sacommittee
of Republican leaders . wait upon Mr..
Seward, on his return, and represent to him
that the interests of the party require that
some other person than himself shall be its
standard bearer at the next election. Indeed
it is said that they will request him to auth
orize the withdrawal of his name. 1t is
quite certain that out of New York, the
party generally prefer otherwise-some
being for Mr. Bates, aud others for Mr. Chase,
and others again for Gen. Cameron, or JUS
tice Mclean. The Democrats will be disap-
pointed and chagrined by the withdrawal
of Mr.. Seward, almost as much as Mr.. Sew
ard will be himself. They anticipated over
him an easy victory.
Besides, many considered that his nomina-
ton would bring to a direct test the ques-
tion of North and South
An eX-member of Congress, who served
in the House with Mr.. Bates, informs me
that he is highly conservative i'll his views,
and much more of a statesman, than any
man from Missouri-nOt excepting ''Old
Bullion. Mr.. Bates was the successor of
John Scott, the first representative from
Missouri, who voted with Mr.. Clay for Mr..
j. Q. Adams as President, at the election by
the House. Mr.. Bates was here but one Con-
gress, and then supported the Adams and
Clay Administration He is about sixty
years old.
1t is singular enough that the Chicago Con-
vention is to be held on Gen. SCOTS birth
day. Butit is not likely that he will be
the nominee of that convention, though he
may and probably will be of the National
Union, Wing and American Convention,
which is now talked of. OMICRoN.

Rs3s~The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune, says, the arrest of
Messrs. Branch and Grow was predicated
upon information which reached the au-
thorities that the former had notified the
latter, after Mr.. Grow had declined accept
ing his challenge he would assail him on
sight. Both are now under heavy bonds to
preserve the peace. 1t always has been
understood that Mr.. Grow did not recog-
nize the code, bat did recognize the right
OF defense against assault.

BAD COLDs.-The changeable weather of
the past ten days has been productive of
colds, coughs, hoarseness, and sore throat
Barking" is now call the go" Many
persons are thus afflicted, yet there is very
little serious sickness, so far as VIC are
aware.
There is nothing like wearing good, thick
boots or shoes to prevent colds. When we
see lady with heavy gaiters or shoes on,
with heels aad thick soles, we generally set
her down as healthy. Women make sad
mistake when they wear light, thin shoes,
so as to show a neat pair of feet. Better
have dry feet, if they are clumsy, and a
sound system.

citizens that an effort is being made to es-
tablish here a new Protestant Episcopal
church, the seats of which shall he entirely

We, the undersigned, members of St.

ish shall further assume TO itself a name

be governed by the constitution and canons
of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the
United States, and the constitution and
canons of this Diocese.

vanced by the establishment of the new

request, a favorable consideration, we do
hereunto affix r-names."

BRECKENRIDGE AND LANE MEETING IN FAYErTE-

meeting was held in Fayetteville on Wednesday
evening last, Maj A. j. o. Hanlon in the chair
The Courier says:
James G. McRae, Esqs. Several other gentlemen
were called upon but declined. We were very high
~ pleased at the spirit of Mr.. McKay's address,
His arguments in favor of ours-the only national
candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presdency,
were clear and convincing. His appeals to our mis-
led Douglas brethren to come over and join lis in
advocacy of the claims Of Breckenridge and Lane
were exceedingly graceful and well-timed. The re-
marks of Mr. McRae, (would that his brother Dun
can X. were engaged in the same noble cause) were
we'll conceived and delivered in an unusually felici-
tous style"

designating the time and place for the next meeting

with our neighbor of the National Democrat, that
"the former meetings of this body have been high

fore had assure the members belonging to the As

courteous entertainment"
We trust there will be full representation at
Wilmington of all the educational interests of the
State. Let the friends of the cause 30 to work at

yet been held. There is no better cause than that

of November
As usual the delegates will pass over the various

The committee authorized to determine the time
and place of meeting have felt bound to call the
next session as far South as the facilities for Rail-
road travel would permit; and this consideration,
and the excitement preceding the Presidential cleo.

DOUGLAS AND THE DRIED Scorr DEcIsIoN-Judge
Douglas, in his speech at Clifton Springs, made the
following allusion to the bred Scott decision:
The Republicans try to break the force of this
argument by talking about the bred Scott decision
Gaughter) If they would only read that decision,
should have more respect for their comments upon
it. What has the bred Scott decision to do with
the power of Territorial legislature, over the ques
ton Of slavery? "a voice" Nothing!") No such
question arose in that case. There was no organ
lied Territory in that whatever, much less was
there any territorial law before the Court. The
simple question presented in the bred Scott case,
was whether or not negro, descended from African
parents who were brought to this territory and sold
as slaves, could be citizen of the United States
(Cries of "No!'D The Court decided that under
our Constitution negro is not citizen, and cannot

This is distinct and unqualified reputation of
the bred Scott decision far relates to slavery
in the Territories Judge Douglas does not even
treat with respect the opinion of the Court on the
subject; no decision, he says, was made touching
the power and duties of Territorial Legislature
