Correspondence of the Daily Progress
ONs1.ow COUNTY. N. G.. MAY 9TH. 1860


Editor Ne,cbern Progress The little village of
Swansboro was made alive by a large concourse
of visitors to celebrate the lst of May. The hos
pitality which the citizens possess in an unusual
degree exerted to its utmost and all ac-
| commodated. Mr.. r. S. Mclean. the worthy land
lord, occupied day and night in rendering his
guests comfortable, which he well knows how to
do
| What gave most interest to the occasion was
| the parade of the " "Onslow Cavalry" under COM
mand of Capt. E. w. Ward. Though the whole
number not present, yet their appearance
quite imposing, and their evolutions were
highly pleasing to all; in fact, every one thought
the company exceedingly well drilled for the short
time which it had been organized. The streets
were crowded until dark, reminding one of city.
| At an early hour large number assembled at
the Academy and passed few hours in waltzes
and cotillions when all sought Natures sweet
restorer-balmy sleep"
The next day employed in trip to the
s. Banks where the young people took long
walks upon the beach, or were snugly seated in
some glen talking love-for which purpose the
'' Banks - with their undulations, and the mur-
muring waves of the Ocean are admirably well
calculated.
In the afternoon the party returned. all having
passed off without accident and with marked pro-
priety. except some unnecessary firing of cannon
and bugle performance the arrival of the party
boats to the town. l think the 1st of May, 1860
will be long remembered by all those who par
ticipated in its celebration, as day of great en-
tjoyment, and one that can be required to with 6
feeling Of pleasure. w.

QUESTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE.

Democrats of North Carolina are you in favor OF
and endorse the action of the Northern wing OF the
Democratic convention !
Do you intend to allow those who have been ap-
pointed TO represent you in that convention to
tinue to act in CONJUNCTION with the Northern wing
against your brethren of the South, who only sought
from their Northern -convnntonists mere recog-
nton fyour rights and institutions under the Con
stitutions, but were refused? =?
Will the Democrats of North Carolina endeavor to
speak for themselves through the Richmond or
Southern convention, or are they willing to be forced
into the ranks and service of the Free Soil wing in
opposition to their Southern brethren!
u We ask the above important questions because
T The Constitutional wing of the Democratic Party
finding that the Northern Delegates had determined
that the expression of opinion touching their rights
should be allowed in the Platform found it necessary
to withdraw and organize Southern convention
and call upon Constitutional Democrats, everywhere
to send Delegates to Richmond.
| What say old NIeckenburg, whose sons were
the first to declare their independence of the British
Crown and the tyranny of rulers Like them let their
representatives speak OUT p1anly ana ndepenoy 1ol
Observation-Disclosures bulletin.
Yes, people of North Carolina, Democrats OF
North Caroline if you please, these are things
which you should ponder and if you are govern.
ed by wisdom and love of country you will act
with that ewing" which looks to the perpetuity
of organic law North Carolina, Virginia Geor-
gia, Tennessee and Kentucky have had enough
of ' Southern movements" and from them when
led by disorganizing disunionists such as Yancey
and his followers, they desire, we doubt not, IN
future, to be delivered We do not know what
the delegates from this State will do at Baltimore,
but this we believe Had their commission ex-
pired and had the democratic party of the State
to assemble in Convention again we are confident
that out and out Douglas delegates would be ap-
pointed It is evident the that democratic masses
want Douglas, and if portion of the Southern
fire. eaters determined not to support him let
them come out and absolve themselves from all
connection with the party. Eight States cannot
contend with twenty three and it is folly to try
If the friends of Douglas cannot effect his nom
ination they can prevent any one else from re-
ceiving it, and we doubt not but they will do it
Let the odious two-third rule be removed and he
is nominated at once.

James S. Slaughter esq. Here 1t ls We shall
take occasion to pay respects TO II again at an
MONTGOMERY, June Is, 1853.
"DEAR SIR: Your kind favor OF the 10Th is re-
| ceived.
| II hardly agree with you that general move
ment can be made that will clear out the Augean

would result in giving place to greater and hun
! grier swarm OF flies.
| THE remedy of the South is not in such pro
cess It is in diligent organization OF her true
men for prompt resistance to the next aggression
| It must come in the nature of things NO national
party can save us; sectional party can ever do
| it. But if we could do our fathers dld-organ-
ize "committees of safety all over the cotton

The Whole South will Condemn it.

If we are not very much mistaken the masses
of the people everywhere at the South will con-
denim the course of the seceders at Charleston
The Washington States has the following:
The People RiSing-We learn, from despatch tel
egraphed from n. O., that the Democracy of that
city are indignant at the course pursued by their
delegates to Charleston, and meeting is called to
assemble i'll lafayette Square this evening to pro-
test against any action, by citizens of Louisiana
which would commit that State to disunion and
secession.
We presume this meeting will also con
denim the course of Senator Sdell, who left
his post in the Senate to operate upon con-
ventlon Of the people, and to whom, in a great
measure, the disruption at Charleston may be
charged.
We hope to see the day when office holders of
every description shall be excluded from sitting
IN National Convention of the people, as the
mischief makers in such conventions are general
ly composed of this class of men. The best plank
which could be introduced into the Democratic
platform would be their exclusion from paricpa-
ting III such body, and their condemnation OF
interference by them in any form with its pro-
ceedinoS

AMERICAN BELLIES ABRoAD.-M Gaillarde!
In his last letter to the Cnurrisr deS Etats LIN;

AMERICAN bellies ABRnAD.-M Gaillardet,
in his last letter to the Courier des Etats Unis
writes:
"Among the marriages officially announced is
that of Miss Hutton, of New York. with the Mar
quis de Portes. The marquis is much younger than
his intended, w ho must have inspired her lover
with profound regard to enable him to overcome
the resistance of his mother, highly arstocratic
lady, who said, at the time the marriage of N de
Morny with this same Miss Hutton was talked Of
THAT she could not understand how gentleman
could stoop to marry the daughter of trader in silk
and caicoes." The old lady has not. however,
much right to feel so proud, for her mother was a
seamstress. and her husbands family dates is no.
bity but hundred years ago.
They talk, also, of the approaching marriage
of another American lady, Miss Phaen, with a
count of marquis of the Faubourgh st. Germain.

fascinated with titles. Nobility, the only thing

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CONFER


BUFFALO, May 4.-Fourth Day-Bishop Ames
presided. The delegation from the Methodist
Episcopal church of Canada presented their cre-
dentials received members of the confer
ence, and delivered address, did also the
Rev Robinson Scott, delegate from the Irish con-
ference
The rules were suspended for Bishop James to
read the bishops address to the conference
marked ability. It makes an appropriate allu-
sion to the death of Bishop Waugh. The ad-
dress which is signed by Bishops Morris. James,
Scott Simpson. Baker and Ames says it is desir-
able that the annual conferences should be res
trained from multiplying colleges and universi-
ties beyond the real demand for them, and above
their ability to give character apd effectiveness.
The bishops express their satisfaction at the pro-
gress made in the Sunday school department. In
the last few years the advance has been in schools
300, in teachers 26, 900, and in scholars 154 000
The missionary enterprise has also been more
prosperous than in any former period of the his
tory of the church.
The order of the day was resumed, which was
the presentation of petitions, memorials and ap-
peals from the various conferences
The total value of the church property in 1859
is estimated at over $22, ,000, ,O00 being gain of
over So 900 900 in two years. The Bishops hope
that the Conference will strive in their action to
correct certain errors that have crept into the
Church on the doctrine of Christian perfection
and infant regeneration. The Bishops touch very
lightly upon the subject of changing the rule on
slavery and refer to their views expressed at the
last Conference, which have not been changed.
Upon the subject of lay delegation. the Bishops
are of the opinion that lay delegation might be
introduced into the General Conference with safe
ty, and perhaps advantage.
The remainder of the session was consumed in
this manner AS in the previous sessions, the
majority of these petitions on the subject of
slavery, and almost without exception in favor Of
a change OF the church discipline on the subject.
