ESCAPE ANp PROBABLE DROWNING OF A

ESCAPE AND PROBABLE Drowning OF A
DESPERATE CoNvIcr Saturday afternoon
last Alfred Robinson, convicted of man
slaughter at the last term OF the Criminal
Court, escaped from the County Work
house, where he was serving his term Of
imprisonment for the offense of which he
was found guilty. It will be recollected
that he was the leader of the instruction
at the Workhouse several nights since, be-
ing the prisoner who made the first onset
by Selling the guard. Since that time he
has been undergoing punishment in close
confinement with his feet firmly shackled.
In effecting his escape he had by some
means procured an iron nail with which he
contrived to separate one of the links of
his chain. His feet were still manacled,
but this separation enabled him to walk
with comparative ease. Taking advantage
of inattention on the part of the guard, his
cell was unbarred from the outside by some
friend among the convicts, and thus re-
leased Robinson proceeded to the pail
sades, which he managed to scale though
fully twenty-five feet high. He was seen
by one of the convicts to land safely en- the
other side and take to the swamp. II APP
pears that he then proceeded TO the planta-
ton Of Mr.. Agostini further down the creek
and endeavored to procure a boat He
was discovered, chased and fired at three
times by the gentleman in charge of the
place, but, having escaped unhurt, he was
tracked to the city. That night he was
again seen in the far-famed Paddy's Hol-
low, and chased by officer Dunlap of the
police force, whose attention had thus been
directed. He was closely pursued to the
wharf at the railroad depot where, in a fit
of desperation, he plunged into the river,
notwithstanding the fact that both feet
we're manacled, to one Of which was at
tlched a heavy iron chain some two feet
long. He was then observed to swim some
distance out in the river, and probably des-
pairing of crossing he turned ard attempt
ed to reach the shore from whence he
started. He had made but little progress
on his return when he was distinctly seen
to sink, and arose no more. This is evil
dence almost conclusive that the desperate
convict, Alfred Robinson, is drowned. If
such be the case we believe it to be for the
public good.
P. S.-Siuce writing the above, the body OF
Robinson has been found in the Cape Fear.

We take it that. however the Ct1c1a

people OF Mississippi have voted quite
largely against the Constitution. As there
was a majority of fifteen thousand colofeo

gone very largely with their former mas
tiers.

S Going Home d"

The squabbIe has fairly begun in Raleigh
among the distinguished and unselfish
patriots who are officiating at the initial
services of reinstating North Carolina in the
old domicile. New names, unknown in
the history of this or any other State,
figure conspicuously in the programme,
and strangers are presumtuously and impu-

around the familiar hearth stone.
The most honorable offices are to be
doled out to the most unworthy aspirants.

Trade with the Mountains.

We have received circular from H. NJ
Stokes, Esq, editor of the Asheviile Ne"s
and Farmer, proposing to establish depo.
in that place for the reception and saie o.
such farm products as are raised III 'n"'
part of the State, the object being 10 open
a trsda between the Mountain country and
the cities south of it. Western Caroiiua
produces in the greatest abundance, and OF
the very finest quality, wheat and buck
wheat flour, Irish potatoes, ohlohS' eau
baoes &c, While in apples, 1t may chai-
Ienpe the world to produce a superior
Thousands of dollars are annually sent
North for these products, thus turning the
balance OF trade against the State to that
extent, when they could be purchased ID
the mountains Of North Carolina and the
money sent North retained here for the
benefit of our producers, and the balance
of trade turned to that extent in favor OF
our own State.
Mr.. Stokes will deliver all produce or
dered from him to the railroad nearest
their destination, free of charge. We adj
wise our produce merchants to open cor
respondence with Mr.. Stokes.
In this connection we call attention TO
the article from the Ne,Cs and Farmer,
which we publish to-day in regard to the
extensive cheese factory near AsheVlile.-
IF North Carolina is ever to occupy that
position her climate, soil, mineral wealth
and natural advantages entitle her, it must
be done by patronizing home enterprises.
We sincerely trust Mr.. Stokes will be sue
cessful in laying the foundation for large
trade between Eastern and Western North
Carolina.

THE NEW YORK CONVENTION.
MORE SPECULATIOaS.

Ex-President Pierce, of New Ham pshire,
will be at the Astor House.
The Hon. Horatio Seymour will undoubt-
ealy be chosen to preside over the Demo-
cratic Convention. At first it was feared
that the Pendletol men would oppose this
arrangement, because of Seynsoqr's undis-
guised hostility to Pendleton's nomination
But Mr.. Seymour being the unanimous
choice and favorite of this State, the op-
position to him is waived. 1t is also un-
derstood that the Ex-Governor desires to be
his own mouthpiece in the Convention !;
and when his name is mentioned will him
sell withdraw it.
The eanyassing and wire-pulling Of the
last two days has only been inferior to that
which will be the order Of tie day through
out the present week. A great many s.ates
have been made ups and a great many
smashed, neither the making nor the
smashing of any of which amounts to any-
thing at this early day. Still, as showing
the preferences of individuals, reference
to them is not wholly uninteresting. Thus,
despite the oft-repeated remonstrance of
Ex-Governor Seymour against being can

his own name if mentioned, his over-zeal-
Gus friends are arranging programme by
which they hope to secure his nomination.

ticket as bid for Western support.
Pendleton's friends are very shaky. In
deed, they virtually concede the impossi-
bility of securing his nomination, and, as
has been before stated, many of them ad-
NIT the impolicy of pressing him. Mr..
Pendleton is now understood as endorsing
these views, and will be content with

Is this Democratic Doctrine!

We have all along heard that the South

usurpatiOn so soon as the Democratic party
comes into power. What are we to think
of the following extract from the New York
World, of the Sth
1t is too evident for argument that negro suf-
frage can rot be uprooted by the Federal govern
ment, even under Democratic control. II the
Democratic party makes any declaration on this
subject In the approaching National Convention,
1t can only affirm the principles that the Fed raj
Government has no constitutional right TO pre-
scribe the rules of suffrage in State. The re-
Grafton of this sound principle, while it would e.
trOspectively condemn the Republican party,
would prOspectively restrain the Democrats party
from Initiating its example. The bearing and
effect Of this principle is to recognize the S'rs
quo of the suffrage every Stato, and to prcc To-.
interference by the Federal government to chang.
it well from changing it from bad TO good ~
from good to bad. When the Democratic party
comes iutO power negro suffrage will be the exist
ing rule of the Southern States rule which can

We take the above from the Montgomery
(Alabama) Mail, which seems to be greatly
alarmed by it. The alarm is without the
least cause. The views of the World In re-
gard to negro suffrage are not shared in BY
any other Democratic paper, or by any
other Democrat, East or West, to our
knowledge. The Democracy are com

2. Negro suffrage has been imposed upon
the States of the South by gross and
scandalous usurpation on the part Of the
Federal Government, and it cannot exist

patton. The Democracy will not allow that
continuance, but will leave the matter to be

AS to who will be the nominees for Press

that, after complimentary vote to Pendle-

speech was evoked with this view. The
New York delegation are all present, and
unanimously in favor of Seymour's noml-
