If the building is to go on the Shaw jot, the Commissioners should forthwith purchase the residue of the vacant part of that lot, if it can be had on reasonable terms. Let them do that, and place the building in the centre of the square, and all will be well.

Less than the whole of that lot is insufficient for the Market space; less than that would too much expose the building to fire from the contiguous rows of small wooden and hucksters' cilJ Thse imhjlloweil attempts should receive, and we doubt not Tultimately wilf. the -marked7 reprobation of every lover of bis country, and we feel it io 1e a sacred duty, to oppose the continuance in power of a.

in the spacious room of B. B. Smith's large building, occupied by the House of Commons, at the last Session. James Mebane, Esq. a Delegate from Caswell, called the meeting to.

order, and proposed that the Convention be organized by the appointment of Gov. John Owen, a Delegate from the Senatorial District of Bladen, Brunswick and Columbus, as President of the body. The motion having been put by Mr. Mebane, it was decided in the affirmative, unanimously, and Gov. Owen was accordingly conducted to the Chair, from whence he addressed the Convention, in substance, as follows: Gentlemen I thank you most sincerely, for the distinction conferred upon me by the vote just taken.

Tbe honor could have fallen on no one less qualified for the duties of the station or no one, who had less anticipations of such a mark of favor, i Wholly conscious of my inability to discharge the functions of the Chair, I should yet be wanting in duty to my own Feelings, and evince a want of pro-per respect for the body over wh'ch I am called to preside, were I to deny myself the gratification of expressing my sense of the kindness manifested hy their choice. The objects for which we have assembled, Gentlemen, may be explained in few words; and corn'mir, as you do, from different, and many of you, from distant points of the State, I cannot think of con- suming a greater portion of your time, than is barely necessary to specify the objects for which we have convened. At a meeting of the Whig Members of the Leg- islature of this State, at its last session, this Con- 1 vention was recommended; and sanctioned, as it has I been since, by the voice of our Fellow Citizens, through the medium of primary meetings, we are now nere, in ine exercise ot a privilege guaranteed to xis by the sacred Charter of our -Xiberties Tfie period is drawing near, when the Freemen of North Carolina will be called on to indicate their preference for Governor of the State. How the duties of that responsible Office hate been performed by the prcseat enlightened, virtuous and patriotic incumbent of the -Executive Chair, it is unnecessary to state. His acts are before the world, and speak for themselves, as'unto wise men.

who are to iiidr. It is, however, only doing sheer'justice toay, lhat ue nas acieu wen his part it will be fortunate fot the Slate, if his mantle shall fall upon his succes. SOr. Who that successor in In nr rathnr In Ae. termine whom the Whisrs of the StatndesirplnWKo station, is the nrincioal obiect for which ihia Con vention has assembled.

One other specific object I will name. We are to determine as to the exoediencv of sendino- T)pI- gates to the National Convention, and lo give thereby, an expression of our approbation or disapprobation of that measure. For six anecpjsivA Adminis trations, comprising a period of nearly half a can- iury, me anairs oi our Uovernment were managed, Under OUr almost nertWt -Cnristitiifion with enn. summate ability and wisdom. During that lime, Agriculture, and the Arts.

Commerce and Science. and the Religion ofour Fathers, were nourished and encouraged throughout the wide our peaceful empire. On a sudden Ibis high and ommandinJgr situation, hat the country been thrown inio uisiress anu contusion. Misrule and corruption have crent into the Administration of mir National Government and frhm an ftUvalinn wham nr atnnd the admiration of the civilized world, we have been tumbled headlong into the" abyss of wretchednes and crime. How.

and bv whom, thia has been done. it is for us. as a com Don en nart' of the neoole. to jadg; tftough they are" matters which ruaymore I- IV shops which will be certain to spring up on each side of the Market and if limited to the purchase of Mrs. Shaw, the crowded way, the vile scents and vulgar sights, and yet viler practices of the present market street, will become ten fold greater in the new Market and City Hall "Bpll Alley," because more insulated and private than the present one.

It will be too late, then, to seek the remedy; and what might, with a wise forecast, now be made a source of public pride, if indiscreetly done, will case lasting regrets hereafter. The Shaw lot entire, would make a fine spacious area, aid if the the ground be improved a little, aid kept li ciear anu ireeu irom nuisauces, it wouiu De airy, and sweet, with nothing abotlt it to offend delicacy, whenever the ladied chose to visit the Market or look into the City Hall spirit occasions. Let the Commissioners do this, and let there be no nigardliness in the size or neatness of the building let it be surmounted with a suitable Clock to tell the lime for the City, and the Commissioners will earn for themselves the gratitude of the City. What if it cost some ten thousand dollars Surely there is no bug bear in this, for the Seat of Government of the old North State, rapidly growing, ss it is, in population and wealth. A loan from the Literary Fund, and retrenchment of the City expenses to necessary objects of expenditure, with a moderate annual tax, for a few years, and the entire cost of this great public work can be paid for, without being oppressive.

But if the residue of the Shaw lot cannot be had on proper terms, the plan of building on that lot should instantly he abandoned; the part purchased, sold, and paid for. A scite for the new Market House and City Hall, beautiful, central, and every way desirable, and that would be acceptable to nineteen-twentieth of our citizens, can be got by asking for, without its costing us one dollar. I mean the South East corner of the Capitol Square. If placfkl there, the Legislature would give the useof their Bell and half the, money requisite to purchase the Clock; because both woulll be where they would be most useful to that body and to the public officers. I trust the Commissioners will act upon this suggestion, if the proprietors of the residue of the lot refuse to sell it to them, on equitable terms.

-But if they do not, I am ready to unite with those opposed to building on the already purchased strip of that lot, to restrain the action of the Commissioners, until the powers under which they be tested by the tribunal provided by our laws. A Citizen. THE PEOPLE MOVING, Warren County. At a meeting of the Whigs of Warren County, held, pursuant to public notice, on the 8th Nov. 1839.

on 'motion. GenrR Spruill was appointed Chairman, and Hen- Til ry 1j. riurnmer, secretary. The object of the meeting- having been explained by the Chair, it was. on motion.

resolved, that a Committee of three persons oe appointed by the Uhair, to prepare a rreamoie ana Kesolutions, expressive the sense of the meeting upon the condl tion and prospects of the country. Where upon, William Plummer.Dr. Ellis Malone and J. Buxton Williams were selected hv the Chair who after consultation, reported the following Preamble anck Resolutions, Avhich were unanimously adopted In the exercise of the right which belongs' to every citizen, we, the Whigs of Warren County, have assembled ourselves together to express our views in regarJ to the condition and prospects of our beloved Country; also, as to the puMic conduct of those who have under Providence, its destinies in their hands. It cannot bv.

concealed, that our Currency, upon me one regulation oi vvnicn our prosperity bo ma terially derends, is, from some cause, in a dedora condition. We do not undertake positively to decide as to the causes which have nroduripd this extraordinary derangement, but it is certain that our Uovernment has, tor more than ten-years, been administered, by the party in power; and it is equally certain that it was not so betore the right to inter fere Willi and control. ot it was claimed and exercis. liv them. We concede, that it is difficult to Ao.

cide with certainty upon the effect of any measures wnicu are calculated to attect the Currency, fand Ihertrfore is it the more unwarrantable to interfere with it when gdVd,) but we sincerely believe that its present unhappy condiUon is, certainly, though it may be remotely attributable to th ml cvrwr; ar Vivt ments jvhich were made upon it by the immediate predecessor or r. Van Uuren, in whose footsteps he declares it is his pride to tread. We nighty disapprove the principles, avowed and acted on by the present incumbent of the Presidency, in regard to the offices within his gift. We concur in the patriotic sentiment of Mr. Jeffkrson that if an officer "be honest, capable and faithful to the he should never be removed We regard with abhorrence the opposite principle, openly proclaimed by the party in power as their rule of action, that the offices of the country are to be regarded as spoils," to bo divided among the "victors" in every political contest, and we believe that the President, in giving to a doctrine, so degrading and dangerous, fiis countenance and sun-port, has shewn himself unfit to be the Chief Magistrate of a Free People.

I3ut if there be one practice or principle avowed or acted on by Mr. Van Bureo and his leading partisan, which we condemn more than all others it ia that their Addresses, whether written or spoken and the every-day labour of the presses devoted to' him, are designed and intended to disturb the sentiments of confidence and kindness l.r,h 9UVUIU exist among our people, and to create in their stead feelings of jealousy and ill will. It seems to be their purpose, to establish and extend the belief that our country is divided intn iU UlfcllliCl and opposing interests, and that by the one the Vi me omer are neither considered nor regard- solve there tore, 1st. That the interests of the country imperiously demand a change of Rulers, and that we will use all honorable means to defeat the re-election of Mr. Van Buren to the Presidency.

2. That we approve the prosposition to hold a Convention of the Whigs at Haleigh, on the 12th to designate a suitable Candidate of the Party for the office of Governor. 3 That five persons be nominated by the Chair as Delegates from this meeting to the said 4. That we submit to said Convention the propriety of sending Delegates to the Convention at Harrisburg, to nominate a Candidate for the Presidency. The Chairman then announced that Richard Davison, W.

Morgan Powell, Kemp Plummer, J. Buxton Williams, and Thomas N. F. Alston, were appointed Delegates under the third Resolution. On motion, it was ordered that the Editors of the Register Star at Raleigh, and the Warrenlon Reporter, be requested to publish these proceedings.

The meeting adjourned. GEO. E. SPRUILL, Chairman. H.

L. Plummer, oec y. district Convention. Pursuant to previous notice, the delegates appointed to the third Congressional District Convention met in the Court-house at Washington, Beaufort county, on Thursday the 31st of October, 1839. By unanimous consent, Col.

Joshua Tayloe was selected President, and Henry A. Ellison "and Will iam D. Moye, Secretaries. Richard H. Battle, of Edgeconib, an appropriate address, explained the object of the Convention, and offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Convention, that Henry Clay is decidedly the favorite of North Carolina as a candidate for the Presidency of the United States because we believe if he should be elected, our Government will be administered not for the benefit of sycophant office-holders, or ambitious aspirants but for the good of the people.

Keaolved, That ihe Hon. N. P. Tallmadge, of New York, by his vigorous opposition to the encroachments of executive power by his patriotic resistance to the favorite scheme of the Presidential Bank, called the Sub-treasury, has merited the thanks of every patriot. Resolved, That the delegates from this district to the Harrisburg Convention, be instructed to urge the claims of Henry Clay and N.

P. Tallmadge as candidates for Ihe offices of President and Vice President' of the U. S. in preference to any other candi dates. Alfred Moye, Senator of Pitt county, of fered the following Resolution, which was received ana adopted without opposition Resolved, That although we profess the utmost admiration of the splendid talents and well tried a-bihties of Henry Clay yet as Whigs, we love Rome better than Caesar," and must adoDt the pat riotic sentiment "The union of the Whigs for the sake otthe Union therefore, we will renounce all sectional differences, and pledge our sacred honors to support to the utmoal ot our exertions the norm 1 TV r-m nees or twe iiarrisourg Uonvention.

The following gentlemen were recom mended and chosen as delegates to the Na tional Convention Rieh'd Battle and Joseph Lloyd, of Edffecomb Ferdi nand H. Harriss and Alfred Moye, of Pitt Dr. S. P. Allen, of Beaufort Ebenezer Pettigrew, of Tyrrell and Henry Wise Gibbs, of Hyde.

Mr. Ralston, of Pitt, addressed the Con vention, and in lanuaffe wortliv of his country, set forth the claims of Henry Clay to tne nrst otnee within the gilt ot the A-merican people. One noble and patriotic expression, to the honor of our respected Irishman, was given It is enough for us to see upon every page where our Coun try's glory is written, the name of Henry -mm- r-h lay. Mr. Katston concluded by requesting that the Hon.

Edward Stanly, it he were present, should address the Con vention. Mr. Stanly replied in a brief, per tinent and lorcible address, and concluded by pledging his best exerlious in behalf of I TT I me tiarrisourg nominees. It was then Resolved, That the proceedings of ib I nri von tion be signed ly the President and Sprrni-i I WU Ulli sent to the Washington Whig for publication, with a request mat an hig papers lft the State re-pub lish the same. On motion of Samuel Ralston, the thanks 1 V- a ot tne convention were returned to the President and Secretaries.

The Conven tion then adjourned. JOSHUA TAYLOE, President. tl. A. tiLLISON, W.

D. Move, Secretaries. A Touching Incident. The St. Augustine News, of a late date, mentions the following touching incident.

Mr. Dallam was a Baltimorean. Fidelity of a Dog.x Irish greyhound, owned bv GoL he had brought from Missouri, had fn a very strong attachment to Mr. Dallam, ui owner ot the trading establishment at 1 aloosahatchie. On the massacrft nf tht men nt that post, but little hopes were en.

tertained by the survivors, hut that ih A had either been killed or captured by the Indians. Fourteen days- after the ocenrr. eoce, on the arrival of troops to give sepul ture 10 tne victims ot Indian faithlessness, this faithful and attached animal Vas fnnrwt barely able to stand, emitting a feeble howl over the remains of his friend Mr. Dallam. The corpses around were denuded by vul- A I It tures, dui uauam was uninjured.

This noble trait of fidelity was dulv annrecintpil by the troops, and Romeo, the trusty guardian of a dead friend, is now sincere.lv ami devotedly cherished by the garrison at Tampa Bay. fore our Democratic Royalty, ever dared to constitute itself the "puller down" of all that the Country was used to hold dear The pride of the Throne of Great Britain has always been the protection of British interests and the ennobling of the British n-irne. The absolute King of Prussia boasts, and justly; of the paternal solicitude with which he guards the industry and honor of his subjects. It is reserved for the Democratic Ruler of a people, who claim to be free, to signalize his Government by acts of demolition and destruction, which would cause rebellion in every Kingdom in Europe. Nothing but the patriotic forbearance of one portion cf Americans, and the tame submission of another, has saved our Democratic Tyrant from being hurled by violence from the Throne.

The true cause of this submission may, perhaps, be found in a remark of Bolingeroee, applied to a tmouble House of Commons "They grow like hounds, fond of the man who shows them game, and by whose halloo they are used to be encouraged." FAIR PLAY. For the Register. Notice here, all you whom it may concern: "Let none of you suffer, as a busy body, in other men's matters;" said the Apostle Peter. But how few obev the Di- yvine Precept? If men would always at tend to their own attairs, and let other peo- pie s-alone, how much happier the people in every neighborhood would live! In the there being jars and schisms, and divisions, among the people, there would be complete union, and peace, and one-ness of mind, with few exceptions. It is grievous to see worldly minded men medtJlesbme, and interfering with other men's matters; but how much more so, when we see those, who profess to be Christians those, who profess to be leaders of the people- and those who are, or ought t) oe, accoruing to tneir calling, Uivh Magistrates ofour country, meddlesome, and interfering with things which do not or, at least, should hot concern them.

I am made to. wonder that men, rational men men who have sense, and men who think they understand the scriptures pf Divine inspiration, and who try to interpret them to the people, should overlook parts of it; which are of such importance," or rather neglect to obey its injunctions. The Apostle Paul, in speaking of them, says: "For we-hear that there are some which walk anions you disorderly, working not at all, but are busy bodies!" Now the Apostle commands such to work and to eat their own bread. Is not this, a tacit implication that those who do not work, and eat theirownlread, are sinning against God and tlieir own souls? And one of the greatest writers who has written in the world, says: "Avarice and cunning may acquire an estate; but they cannot gain friends." WTe may then infer, that they gain foes. So then, I would give those men, who are interfering with other rasnl matters, the Apostle's advice, to work and to eat their own bread.

1 would also recommend them not to interfere with workmen and their employers any more; but take the Apostle's advice "As much in you, live peaceably with all men." The man, who is interfering with workmen and their employers, is not endeavoring to live peaceably with any, but is trying to breed schisms and divisions between them, and between his neighbors generallj'. A NEIGHBOR. For the Register. The neio Mqpket and City Hall. Mr.

I have taken rto nart in this Market and City Hall question; have aiienueu no meeting nor signed any peti-tion pro or con. Hut it is time to speak out, and if need be, to act, to prevent unavailing regrets 'hereafter. Nearly all are agreed that a new Market and a City Hail should be built, and that they should be such as would Ornament this fair with one consent, save an interested few, all agree that the present scite'of the Market is the wrong one for-the new building. But it is believed a very large majority of the property interests oT the City are opposed to the present scheme of the Commissioners. -They, regard the purchase from Mis.

They see the ruined fortunes of our wor--thiest citizens, scattered in fragments floating over the maddened sea in which they "were -wrecked, and, atnid the roaring of the tempest, the air is burdened with the deep "and sullen curses of the victims of this dread work of destruction which strike the ear with appalling distinctness. They stand -amazed and petrified with horror, at the vast amount of wretchedness and woeivhich their reckless and bungling attempts at improvement have caused, pusillanimously throw, the blame upon others. "Thou anst not say" we "did it." No, we were merely following in the footsteps of our illustrious predecessor, Who gaiued immortal honors byfcleaning out stables and subduing monsters We had emptied the Augean 'Stables, and were gently placing our royal pedicle on the neck of the Monster with multitudinous heads and at least ten horns. In doing this, the brood of small monsters bf came astonishingly prolific, and increased and multiplied from 300, or thereabouts, to more than 700.

So we were compelled also, to submit to a gentle process of strangulation of these diminutive monsters, for the purpose of clearing the country as well as the stables. The unnatural efforts at life of these terrible monsters, and their unreasonable attempts to keep themselves up and kicking, have caused all this uproar and ruin. Ah! gentlemen, stand to to the rack.

VjTThe People again Triumphant The intelligence received from the recent Election in NEW-YORK the great battle-ground of the Union brings the gratifying assurance that the Whigs have again gloriously triumphed over all the arts of their opponents. Unterrified by the disastrous results in other States, and determining to stand firmly by their principles, despite of partial reverses, the friends of good government in the Empire State have made one more gallant and successful effort for Fueedom and Victoht, At the Election last Fall, the Whigs succeeded in choosing a majority of the House of Representatives of the State but the Locofocos retained their preponderance in the Senate, and by a high handed and factious mode of procedure, refused to go into an election of IJ. S.

Senator, and thus defeated any practical advantage to the W7higs. Now, however, the Whigs have both the Sejtatf. and the Housk! thus triumphantly gaining, by successive efforts, A WHIG GOTERIVOR A Majority of Congressmen and lie Hi Brancfies or the Legislature! In the City of New-York, by a shameful'outrage on the freedom of the elective franchise, the Officeholders have succeeded in carrying their Ticket. But In the Interior of the State, the honest Farmers and Mechanics the bone and sinew of the land have come up gallantly to the rescue. With them, the power of Executive patronage and the interference of official hirelings, were of no avail.

They have increased their majorities in many counties heretofore redeemed, and have signally routed Loco-focoism fn several of its strong-holds. The State Senate will consist of 19 Whigs and 12 Locofocos leaving one District yet in doubt. In the House of Representatives, the Whigs will have a majority of 12 or 14 votes thus effectually wresting from Locofocoism the power again to st at nought the known will of the People. In Columbia county, the residence of Mr. Van Buren, the Whigs have carried their whole Ticket, by a majority of 200 votes! This county went against us last Fall.

In fact, if we except the City of New-York, wherever the Whigs entered Into the contest with a determination to succeed, their efforts were successful. Cj So much for the three months electioneering tour of President Van Buren Alt his personal exertions, added to the unprincipled efforts of his THOUSANDS of OFFICE-HOLDERS, have been thwarted by the firmness and intelligence of a virtuous People.
