If this charge be" true, would not his son James B.

Clay, the owner ot Ashland, know it and if he knew or oeuevea it, would he vote for Mr. Buchanan? Of course not Mr. Clayv after referring to the fact tnat the old hne Whigs of Kentucky had declined to commit themselves to Mr. 'Fillmore's support says if i i 1 "There is also a. atfttviriont nn -j of the oth instant, "that 1 had been heard to say that I was not foi Buchanan." I may have said that Mr.

Bu- cuanan was not my candidate, or was not mv choice for" the Presidency; but I have not said that I shoufd not vote for him. I prefer Mr. Fillmore personally, and if he stood on the same principles he did iu 1850 I would vote for him in preference to any man I know. But I expect to cast my vote for that candidate who in my opinion may have Ihe best chance to defeat the candidate of the black Republican -party, and, at present advised, I think Mr. Buchanan has the best chance to do so.

I wish it, nevertheless, to be distinctly understood that if I shall think it my duty to vote or Mr. Buchanan I shall vote as an old line Whiff, making a uc venerea 10 ob eviis, ior me gooa oi tne country and that the Whig standard shall again be raised, adhering-always to the principles which I have been instrumental in asserting at Lexington, and. at Louisville On the Sd Julv. 1 8hall be read v. fairlv hnneatlv inrf fearlessly to battle against those principles and practises of ilia natnnfwntln 1.

1 t. rf i 1 1 uiiuwms lunjf Huivu uuuuici wiin our own views Robeson and Richmond. i We learn that Col. Walter L. Steele and Gen.

Al fred Dockery are candidates for the Senate in this District. A correspondent writes us as follows We are likely to have a spirited canvass in this Senatorial district, between Gen. Dockery and Col. Walter L. Steele, both of Richmond; and both of them prominent U71 I TV1 I 1 i vvutgs.

wen, u. uas oeen orougnt out Dya Mow jNotnini Convention, and Col. Steele has been nut unon the trac principally by the on ti -Know with manv of the old line Whigs. i Col. Steele, as you know, frank! avows his determination to support Buchanan as against Fillmore, for he feels himself called upon by consideration that can actuate a patriot (for this time, at least.) to unite with the Democracy in putting down black Republicanism.

He says, with truth, that the Democratic party is the only surviving national party, and if they cannot save the country at this alarming crisis, men an vt ttw.i I i i Col. Steele has also1 been very strongly solicited to become a candidate by the friends of the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford. Railroad for they look to him, and to him alone to watch over their interests in the next Leg islature, against anyinsidious efforts which may be made to criDDle this, one of the great enternrizes of the dav. and the only project ever conceived to benefit the Comities of iticnmona ana Kobeson. uol.

fateeie, you know, is in reality the father of this Road for all admit that without his a61e efforts so favorable a charter could never have been procured. I ana not, then, surprised that the friends of this 'ttoaa snouia dfsire to continue bim in the Legislature to protect their interests. Gen. Dockerv is likewise a friend tci the Road; but iu the nature of things, and particularly from ihj want of influence which he will feel in the next Assemble, he cannot possibly be of as much service to the Road as Col. Steele.

I would, therefore, call upon all the citizens of Robeson and Richmond to look well to their in terests in this matter. The contest will be a close one, but 1 minx IaiL Steele chances decidedly the best. The Crops. I The Richmond Whig, speaking of the 'crops in Virginia, says: "A general alarm; from the mountains to the seaboard, is felt for the corn crop. The rains have been partial and limited in quantity, the chinch-bug universal, and like the sand of the sea shore for numbers.

Many corn fields are entirely destroyed by them already, and others can only be saved by timely and copious rains." "This is true, to a considerable extent, as to North-Carolina. Rain is greatly needed in some sections, and hear of the ravages of the I chinch-bug, in many instances entirely destroying the corn. Corn is selling here at $3 25 per barrel an indication that le farmers about here fear a short crop. SUPREME COURT.

Remember, that every vote cast for John A. Gilmer will be a vote in favor of increasing the tax on slates, vote in favor of a monster Bank, to be based partly on stocks, and which might, if established, become, like the old United States' Bank, a great and corrupt political engine, a vote in favor of a Convention to amend the Constitution, to be called in palpable violation of that instrument, Remember these things, fellow-citizens, and vote accordingly.

M. Keitt, of, delivered in the House of Represbtitatires, July 16," 1856: 1 1 Sir, it is fashionable in Massachusetts to claim the whole credit of beginning the revolutionary struggle. It is fash-ionable in Massachusetts to regard the battle of Bunker ilill as the whole revolutionary war. Obliging historians and a self-gratulatory parish have mutually complimented each other into this conviction. The only difficulty is to drug Truth, so that she shall siumber foTe ver.

Let us appeal to facts. i '-'V Id Charleston, November 15, 1773, a public meeting resolved to seise the tea then in Charleston: harbor and they did seize itnd prevent its sale. The citizens of Boston threw the tea overboard into Boston harbor afterwards but they disguised themselves as Indians, and did the act in the darknesaj hf night. The citizens of Charleston had already done similar act in daylight, and in tbe eye of the sun. Wee their different modes of action in this matter indicativejnf a difference' in the character of the two people Since then, a secret part organized in mystery, and plotting under cavernous arch-wavs," has ruled Massachusetts but in South Carolina it found no resting spot.

1); In 1765 Colonel John Ashe and Colonel Waddell, of North Carolina, with a band of brave compatriots, seized a British sloop-of-war with stamp paper km hoard, and earned the stamp paper in triumph to Wilmington. They, publicly burnt it then forced the Royal governor to yield up the stamp master for that colony to them, and compelled him to take an oath not to execute his office." Here was an act of heroism and magnanimity greater It han that of the Boston tea party or the battle of Bunker HilL At Charlotte, on the 20th of May. 1774 ithe Mecklenburg 'declaration of independence was made. fTbis was the pro totype ni me ueciai-aiiou oi inaepenaeoce 01 lYo. xne nrst victory in tne nevoiution was won at Moore Creek, North Carolina, on the 27th of February, 1776r Well may tbe Old north State, her head pillowed upon ner lau rels, sleep- soundly.

Soundly she liasj plept so soundly that Massachusetts has filched from her the honor of her earliest achievements. Into James river, too, did the erallariti sons of Vireinia throw British stamp paper. These acts hye been celebrated in no( orations, and embalmed in no poem bnt the famous tea party oi Boston is, Pealed and chimed on every tongue of fame.

He exemplifies in his own career the truth, that the path of distinction in this free country is open to all who have the ambition to walk therein; He has done well as Governor, why set: him aside? Why re ject a tried for an untried man Look at him, and judge him by his acts, Others way promise he has performed his promises. Up tj; the day his opponent was nominated, not a wotd was breathed against his administratiori and every charge brought against him since that time, has fallen harmless at his feetJ He has never deceivedlhe has never misled any one.

No man can serve I wo masters for either be will hate the one, and l(ve the other or else he will hold to the one arid despise tbe other." The Black Coalition. It is at len th authorita- tively announced that arrangements are being made between the friends of Fillmore arid Fremont in Pennsylvania, to harmonize on one Electoral ticket, so as to cast the vote of the State for either, as may be deemed best, against Mr. Buchanan.

The New York Tribune says'a Convention, with this object in view, will be held at Harrisburg in September. 1 The practical object," says that paper, "is to fqrm an Electoral ticket of these different elements which shall be acceptable to each, and thus Concentrate an aggregate vote that is niow scattered through want of harmony and understanding." This game was tried last vear in Pennsylvania. The Know Noth- ings, the black Republicans, and the i old line aboli tion Whies all united, under a cai i to that effect! from their State Committees, againstf jthe Democra tic candidate for Canal Commissioner but they were defeated. Is it surprising that the freesoilers and abolitionists at the North should thus coalesce against, the national Democratic party, when they are invited to do. so by Mr, Raynei anil other South ern men The K.

N. papers of this City have consid ered it their duty recently to deny th i certain leading gentlemen, old line Whigs, are tor Bragg and Buchanan. They give names, and among toem those of Ex-Gov. Manly," Willie Mangum, and Giles Mebane. Now what does this; njtean? These gentlemen have not been referred to, or claimed by the.emocratic prints, as Bragg and i ichanan men.

Does it not show' that these K. N. pa ers are themselves in doubt as to the course of these gentlemen? Why, if there was no doubt about; their position, are their names thus lugged before ti 4 public? The Democratic presses are not under ie necessity of declaring, every week or two, that certain leading Democrats are not Fillmore and Gilmer men. We can tell the Register and Signal and! we now make no particular reference to Messrs. Manly, Mangum and Mebane that we happen to know uite as much about the view's and position of many pf the old line Whigs as they, do, but we Shall not 'publish street tumors and private conversations.

Mr. Fillmore's Friends tii beaten isg to stop the Washington Union of Tuesday last says: There was quite an-; interesting discussion in the House yesterday on the question of a day of adjournment. Messrs.

Haven and Dunn, two of the supporters or Mr. Fillmore, took conspicuous parts in the debate. Mr. Haven was under-stood to be in feyor of restoring the Missouri re-7 stnction if there was any prospect of its being con-curred by the Senate. Mr.

Dunn was so emphatic onihis point that he pledged to vote for no appropriation until the Missouri Compromise should" restored. The fact that these two gentlemen'are rdent supporters of Mr. Fillmore is significant as to the position of their candidate on a question on wtiich he has been too conservative to exnresw hi pinion." Ihe remarks of Mr. Dunn on the occasion are as follows: oicSl'f here with fi'igh expectations-fa Kfowu a Uewas exceedingly sorry, they had wdoniJ oVTe the country till that remefih nVl7K ai the North nd Sou i Kmlwii h' the lue8t.M? of individual aafe- the talk tL I 'irreed, agreed," that's "tbat'a the wheel Affe W7 eomPl5C was to stop 8Dd pve trouble while bS" A fr the Presidency he would not fcceM th6 one whose election gives promise of AIoccasinville, N.

A Mr Printurs of the Standard: 1 1 reckpn you'd begun to think the Knbw-nuthins had killed me, I've been silent so long, But I'm alive yit, and hope shall continue in the same con difhun till after the elecsbun. Sum of the Know-nulhinadid 6ay they'd kill me, but I wasn't a bit -onjeasy, for I know'd they never, told the truth. I If they had sed they intended to let me alone," I tell yqu I should have bin on the look out; Xor their acts and words are jest a3 much by contraries-as the Irishman's dream. (Mr. Printurs, it seems to roe that men sumtimes perseveres in wrong doin' till they don't know right frptn wrong; and I think the Know-nuthins has' about reached that pint When them delegits froni the Greensboro' convenshun staid all.

night at my house, they toldane Mrj Gilmore was gwine to cani vas the State, but that he was gwine down to Roily tOjSee.Gov. Bragg and make arrangements for them both to go together. Thinks If that's so the Kpow-nuthina must be gittin better, or elso Mr. Gilr more ain't like the rest of them. But I didn't b'lieve rord of it, and I thought I had sufficient resons for my disbelief, for the Know-nuthins sed it was so and I never did b'lieve that any iinparshal jury would nnd them guilty pi tellin' the truths kfnt Wiltfhin' tn Kf what nrnnlfl turn nrt nl tojd the Know-nuthins here I didn't b'lieve Mr, Gil-more was gwine to be any sictr a gentleman.

Ono day Joe Smithers brung me the Register, and show ed me where it sed Mr. Gilmore was gwine down t( Roily. This jest confirmed me in my belief, foreveri before the Register man turned his coat to Know -niithinistn, he' had mighty nigh quit all dealins with' trith, and I knowed he was wusser now' than ever, I old Joe it was all a lie, and I'd bet on it Joesecl h( didn't much b'lieve in the Register neither, sense it had fooled him so about the pTatform. Thinks If vv'iat a mean paper that must be which as mean a man as Joe Smithers thinks is unworthy of confi dence. i--1 Well, then, I wasn't a bit surprised wpen I seed list of appinttnents for Mr.

Gilmore in the Ashevill Specktatvr, a paper edited by a most rantankerousl God-forsaken, ly in' Know-nuthtn', whp was: bnct jest about as rantankerous a abolitionist out in Wisconsin, where. ho published a paper and icut all sorts ofj shines. 1 say I wasn't surprised, for' I cum the conclushun that men who had bin doin' mean so lojig, had lost discreshun, andjest stuck their meanness out right plains, Meanness had jtst becura their naitur, and they couldn't help it if they had tried, which they didn't. I I jit's rumored up here that Gov. Bragg writ to Mr.

Gilmore to know what he was gwine to do, and that Mr. Gilmore writ back to him that his friends at the Greensboro' convenshun bad insisted on his gd-inj West fust, and that he had sum appinttnents up there. It is also sed that Mr. Gilmore invited the "Governor to go west with him, and told him they wjuld then consult together and make jint appmt-mpnts for the East. I hope this rumor an't truc, but I b'lieve it is and if it is Mr.

Gilmore has acted in a way we mountaineers call mean; for his app pintments in the East was made without any consul tashun with the Governor. In chanty, i I would i Iieve this was done oy tne council, wtnen Mr. uiu- more is sworn tu uoey: uui uiai. uou i make the matter much better for him, for he had to swar any sich thing. I think the truth of the affair is this no bizness ThKnowl- nuthins knowed there was a great rebelyun up here, arid they concluded to try to quell it by trottm' Mh Gilmore round by himself.

To keep Gov. Braes: frm follerin' him, it was determined tohold out the idea that Mr. Gilmore was gwine to Roily to fix ap pintments with the Governor. Thus they intended toihave Gov. Bragg expectin a visit frojm Mr: and restin' quietly, while Mr." Qilmore was prjeachin' up in the mountains.

It was a right cun-nihly; devised trick, but Hemicrats is hard to fool and while I was afeard Gov. Bragg wouldn't find out the appintments in time to meet Mrj Gilmore, 1 received the Standard sayin' Gov. Bragg will meet Mr. Gilmore." I tell you I jumped right up "and boitered with all my might I felt good all over, anjd I told every body about it The faces of the Know-nuthins got aboui as long as my arm, ancjl thy all looked white round the gills. iNed Davol't didn't eat a bit of supper that night, an( he and Joe Sthithers bothgot drunk before break ftist next i Ned ses now it was a ned bjinglin' piece ofisbizness, and he don't' care if it playsjh 11 gineij-ally with You see iNed feels sorter sore-headed because he wasn't aphinted a del- egft to Greensboro', i ut the Governor and Mr.

The oli Whigs ses they ain't gwine to support a man that will try to play sich tricks, and that acts one way and talks t'other.

He. visited New York, Falmouth, Fall River, New Bedford and sun-dry other abolition holes while at Falmouth he called on one of the firm, who was visiting that place for recreation, and was tendered more funds if he needed them, which he refused, remarking he had enough to bear his expenses back to Norfolk. When Jim (for this is his familiar name) was in New Bedford he met several fugitives whom he recognized as former slaves in Norfolk.

They supposing he had runaway, received him with down cast looks and assured him that he had come to the wrong place, and remarking that they were making but" very poorly having to labor very hard and get but poorly paid in return they expressed dissatisfaction at the treatment they received at thehands of their abolition friends. Jim told them that he had not run away, that he was only on a visit and would return to Norfolk in a few days. At several of these towns in Massachusetts ho was importuned by the Abolitionists to remain assuring him that he was then a Free Man he declined their kind offers and assured them that such freedom as a black man enjoyed with them had no charms for him, he vastly preferred the slavery of Norfolk, accompanied with an abundance of the necessities, aye, and comforts of life as he enjoyed then at home, to all the freedom that Massachusetts could tender him.
