The New York Tribune, finding fnat the South is no longer menacing a dissolution of the Union, no onger giving vent to its ust complaints Hi resolut. onS and speeches in Congress and the Legislatures, but with spirit too calm and resolved to be oisy and turbulent, i pursuing In the path VOJJl her commercial conventions, the true road to indepen- tha Union tne -iKHi Tribune- in view of this sensible proinising policy, feels its bile stirred to the very centre of its nrofessine to believe that a dissolution of The Union leeis ns uii professing 15 still advocated by the south, has an elaborate article which it promises to follow by others intended to show that the north would not be commercially, or in any other way, injured by such dissolution About the same dale we find in the New Jork HeraU a leading article in which it is alleged that W. H. follow design to create a new po- i.r.m on a or Twirtv nnon the basis OI eternal hostility to Southern slave institutions "The ground has been deliberately taken," says the Herald, "and the declaration clearly made, thatf hence-r tv. nmKinoii sAwn.nl nTP'anization of the North will occupy a platform of anti-slavery and sectional principles and measures the best calculated to hasten from the south and tnhlishmfint of an anti-slavejv northern con with thfi Canadas and the ICUClAvJ 111 Rrilish nrnvinr.es.

The late speech of Seward in the Senate upon the Nebraska bill was not the speecn oi a BLaiesiuuu hpart and svmrjathies. and purposes, are-with the constitution and institutions of the United States, which he has sworn to support- His speech to the Sn9fp was. fin the other hand, the crafty, special pleading of a dexterous agitator, whose respect for the Union and whose faith in' the constitution are urn.llnwed nn in the inordinate ambition of the anointed apostle of the conspirators of this higher law' For i wen ty odd years, beginning upon the small sapital of Morgan the Mason, Seward nasbeen perseveringly juggling with all the outside abomina- Ttio olaKnraiA pffhrt of the Tribune, the pioneer of Ua nro I rm AC TYiH IT A 1 1. ft. Tift ftl that it would be rather a money-making operation than otherwise to the North to dissolve the Union, anu similar ue mnncfmiinns Tw nitior nlinlit.Inn Tirints." erives an air nf nrobabilltv to the Herald's statements.

Indeed, the whole political course of Gov. Seward, whose sagacity is as generally conceded as his faithlessness ta thot nnnstitntion. is in. perfect keeping with the theory that be looks exclusively to sectionaj support tor the luture grauncawon oi ui umumuu. simnoses that nrinciole has anything to do assaults upon Southern institutions, and it is quite as difficult to see any policy in them unless ne to build un a sectional party which, he is too acute not to foresee, must eventuate in a dissolution oi tne Union.

Th New York Herald takes a different view from the Tribune, of the effects which a dissolution of the Union would produce upon Northern manufactures and commerce. ineaivision oi me unioinuiuiwu independent confederacies," says the Herald, "would instantly work. out a mighty revolution in our depots and currents of trade. The South would establish a system of tariffs and exchanges which would secure them a direct trade witn Europe, i ueir impori exports would be carried in their own ships. Manufactures would follow in the track of commerce.

Npw York would ranidlv sink into a seaport of se condarv importance. Boston and other New Eng- ltnrl nnru wnnld dwindle awav into mere provincial towns. Lowell, and Lawrence, and Manchester, ant; other cnttnn sind woolen manufacturing cities and towns of New England and the North, would be diminished to comparatively deserted villages, for, under a Southern confederacy, Southern consumption would be supplied by Southern factories. Shippers, the shipbuilders, the merchants, the manufacturers, the mechanics of the North, would be drawn to the South, for a tariff upon Northern ships andjNorthern fabrics would leave to a large proportion of; these interests no other alternative than a removal to the South. Such would inevitably be the material results of the division of this Union into twoj confederacies.

It would enrich the South and impoverish the North it would in time advance Baltimore, Norfolk and Charleston, to the present popositions of Philadelphia, New York arid Boston, and reduce these great cities of the North to the present secondary importance of Charleston, Savannah and; Mobile." There can be no doubt that the view of Herald as above quoted, are the views of the commercial community of'the North. The New York Tribune has not the ear of that community, npr of any conservative class in the Northern Slates, -j If slavery be such an accursed thing, and the (Union moreover be unprofitable to the why do they raise such a deafening clamor whenever Soith Carolina threatens to dissolve partnership, and invoke the government, in the name of all that is good and holy, to send down the whole naval and military force of the United States to shoot, hang, burn and cut to pieces every mother's son who dares to whisper the word dissolution It is the money nerve that vibrates. Entrenched behind her co bales, the S. nth like Old Hickory at New Orleans, bids defiance to l.er enemies. The success of uch a project as that attributed to Seward, depends upon the question whether fanaticism" will prevail in the Norhern mind over the dictates of patriotism and of self-interest.

The Tribune is edited by a philosopher, and ought to be able to solve that question. From the manner in which it is'cndeavor-ing to show that it is the interest of the Nojrth to dissolve the Union, we syspect that the philosopher is aware of the influence of dimes over the human soul, and that he despairs of the power of fanaticism, unless he can reinforce it by the persuasions of self-interest. But there's the rub You can never convince the North that it is politic to cut open the goose that lays daily the golden egg for their commerce and manu- factures. I For ourselves, we have no fear of a dissolution the Union very soon. It is at present beneficial to both parties, and the South might enjoy much more prosperity and independence in it, if she follow the example of the North manufacture for herself supply all her necessities fromher own industry build up a commerce, of her own, and cover her territory with railroads and canals.

One of these days the Union may be dissolved, but Seward and Greely will be dissolved long before the Union. The hat and the famous overcoat of the philosopher will, long ere that eventful period, have been gathered to their fathers. Our manifest destiny" has a great many large jobs to accomplish and a great many dimes' to rocket before the American co-partnership can be terminated by mutual consent. The Nebraska excitement (says the New York Journal of Commerce) has; done one good thing, for which we reioice. It has brought those latent1 abo litionists who were too cowardly to show their hands so long as they thought it would be unpopular.

We now see what they are mere doughfaces," afraid of their own shadows, but full of principle yfben there is an favor to be carried bv it. One of the most furious and uncharitable of our assailants since the Nebraska war broke out, is a man who in isoi or 1852, token he-was a candidate for office, addressed us a private letter, begging that we would not oppose him, as he was a very good Union" man at heart, but thought it policy, just then, to manifest a leaning towards free-soilism, lest he should lose his hold upon a portion pf bis whig friends, who, be thought, by a discreet management, could be brought over to Union principles. We of course took him at his word. He was defeated, however, as be deserved to be and now he seeks to ride into favor on another hobby of the same breed, which he goads to We shall know him next time. iB A San Francisco paper thus describes the 8oenes of a day I 1 "Beautiful bVats floating on the bay, beautiful women floating along Montgomery and Stockton streets; ships lying at anchor, drunkards-lying at full length, speculators lying at tbeirdupes ships spreading their white sails, washerwomen spreading their, white clothes, 'swells1 spreading boats puffing up steam, guzzlers pouring down editors piff-ing j.belis ringing alarms, and belles wringing-in alarmed gentlemen; firemen running with der thieves running away, fools running in debt bankers receiving gold dust, Yerba Buena cemetery receiving human dust, masons making brick dust, gamblers 'pungling down their dust zephyrs whispering, babies lisping, misses simpering; do vers seeking brides, brides seeking di vorce, the divorced seeking mates such was a part of yesterday There is only one paper iu Egypt a small monthly sheet; in the Arabic language, at four dollars, year.

ana me arzu Mr. i On motion, a committee on resolutions, consisting of two from each district, was appointed by the Chair, at the' suggestion of the respective delegations. cannot now remember every name on the Commitiee, and shall only give the names of those from this District J. Shepherd, of Cumberland, arid James Fulton, of New Hanover. In order to give the Committee time to act, the Conven-tion adjourned until 10 o'clock next (Thursday) morning, with the understandingHowever, that the Convention should meet again" in private session at 7 o'clock on Wednesday nigbt.

To this session, the Committee on Resolutions, through its Chairman, Hon. Asa Biggs, reported the following Resolution, which were adopted unanimously: We, the delegates of the Democracy of North Caro-. Una, in convention assembled, considering the occa-'sion a proper one for the re-assertion of the well-defined and time-hono. ed principles that bind us together as a party, do resolve, 1st. That ws are for a ng.d construction of the constitution of the United States, as a grant of limited powers for an independent Treasury and against a United States Bank; for a -Tariff for Revenue, and against a Tarifl for Protection for economy in the ad- nrthA Fdral Government, and acainst 4 for the onlv pavment oi the PubUc debt and against the payment of unjust and unfounded claims.

2d Resolved, That President Pierce, by his inaugural address and annual and by his devotion tokthe constitution and rights of the States therein manifested, has signally justified the expect- ations of the American Democracy in electing hun to the distinguished position he now fills; and in the administration of the government upon the principles uin. nmvrtul hv him. he will place nimseli where he deserves to stand, high in thclist of American Presidents. 3d. Resolved, That the bill now pending before Congress tx Organize the Territories of Nebraska and Kanzas, has our hearty approval, and we tender to Senator Douglass, and other members of Congress from the non-slaveholding States our thanks for their manly and national course on this question.

4th Resolved, That the Public Lands are thecom-mon property of the people of the United States, and therefore a disposal ot them for the sole and exclusive benefit of any one of the States, would be unjust and unconstitutional. 5th. Rejoiced, That the Public Lands, being the common property of the people of all the States, should be held as a common fund, and disposed of for the common benefit of all, first, in the payment of the public debt, and then in defraying the expenses of the" Federal Government, so as to reduce the taxes now imposd upon the common necessaries of life. Ti.nJ- Thai the Democracy of the State have reason to be proud of the administration of public affairs under David ueia inai uc ua shown himself a just, patriotic and able Executive "and. in addition to the fame he has achieved as the originator ana cnampion oi ice ouuiuc, 4u long-Uied and unwavering advocate of the people's will carry with him, in his retirement re his present post, the consciousness of having devoted his best energies to the public good, and the sincere and enthusiastic confidence of the Democratic party.

7thl Resolved, That the constitution of this State oiight to be so amended as to extend to all free white men the same right to vote for members of the Sen- ate as for members of the House of Common that we regard the plan of amendment by Legislative enactment, and the sanction of the people at the, ballot box, as strictly Republican, as it is certainly constitutional; that we are opposed, under any and all circumstances, to a change in the basis of representation id the Senate and House of Commons; and that we will never abandon the grat principle of Free Suffrage, but will unite with our fellow-cnisens of both parties in pressing it, in the face of all opposition and difficulties, to its final triumph, 8th. Rnolved, That it is our earnest wish and de-si re to see the iea fees of North Carolina, agricultural, raineial and commercial, fosteied and developed, and the State having already entered upon a system of internal improvements, to that end, and made large investments with that view, it would, in the opinion of this convention, be politic and proper for the Legislature from time to time, to extend such further aiJ in the completion of the works already undertaken, and the extension of the same, as a just reganl for the means and resources of the State will prudently allow. 9tb. Retolred, That our present system 'of Common Schools ought to be fostered by the Legislature, and its efficiency increased, until the blessings of Education shall have been afforded to all the children of the State. 10th.

Resolved, That we reaffirm the resolutions of the Baltimore Conventions of 1844, 1848 and 1852, as far as they are applicable to the present condition of the country. 11th. Resolved, That having entire continence in the ability, integrity and sound principles of Thomas Bragg, of the eounty of Northampton, we do hereby nominate and recommend him to the 'peopleof North Carolina as a suitable candidate fot at the ensuing election. It jwas deemed proper by the committee on resolutions to make no recommendation on the 'Subject of a candidate, leaving that matter for action in full caucus. I When the resolutions constituting the platform had been passed upon, nominations were in order.

The names of Thomas Bragg, of Northampton; of Hon. John Ellis, of Rowan of Col. S. jJ. Person, of New Hanover and of Calvin Graves, of Caswell, were suggested by their respective friends.

It stated, however, on behalf of Judge, Ellis, that he was sincerely anxious that his name should not be used, but that bis friends should go for Mr. The came of Mr. Ellis was withdrawn. A delegate from Caswell stated on behalf of Mr. Graves that that gentleman could not, under apy circumstances, consent to be a candidate, but waa anxious for the nomination of Mr.

Bragg. The name of Mr. Graves was withdrawn. The friends of Col. Person, knowing the devotion of the gentleman to the perfect harmony and success of the.

Democratic party, and bow tittle any nomination could, weizh with him if placed in competition with that object, and also the mgn estimation in wnicn ne neia Air.

The whole toatier ot nam- to Of as at Baltimore Aprif accounts we have re- here, it i. ascertained that the late i klorm has been one of nnusual severity at the North. At toe Delaware Break-water, houses were unroofed in all directions.

It will be seen that the directors of the Wilmington and Raleigh -Railroad Company, at their meeting held in this place yesterday, declared a dividend of three Ver cent, for the last six months.

The increasing prosperity of the Company, we are happy to learn, is fully maintained. For the Journal. At a meeting of the citizens of Duplin, held at Ke-nansville, on the 18th of April, to take into consideration the improvement of the Cape Fea River, On motion, Jere Pearsall, was called to the Chair, and Maj. Owen R. Kenan and James Dickson were appointed Secretaries.

After the object of the meeting bad been explained by the Chair, in a clear and impressive manner, H. L. Holmes, was called upon, and addressed the meeting at some length, in a manner creditable to his head and heart i in which he pointed out the great commercial vantages to the State the whole State which would result from the deepening of the Bur at the mouth of the Cape Feai River; and paid a high compliment to ihe citizens of Wilmington for their active and zealous efforts to effect this object. J. L.

It is now rumored that Austria will make the 'passage of the Balkin, by the Russians, a cause for war. i The English and French Governments have entirely rejected the proposals of the Cjsar founded on his letter to the King of Prussia. A despatch from Berlin says that negotiations were on the lapis between Prussia and Austria, and that Prussia had joined in a Protocol, signed at Vienna on the 3d of April, between Great Britain, France and Austria.

In the British House of Commons on the th inst, Lord John Russell confirmed the statement that Austria was concentrating troops on the frontiers of Ser-via, but in as much as negotiations were still in progress, he could not state what course Austria would pursue.

Biggs, tne Chairman of the committee on resolutions. They were again read and the question taken on them separately. Candidates were nominated explanations made-candidates were withdrawn. Some enthusiastic talking was done, and the Convention had adjourned by ten, or before it. The Commons Hall was crowded such an extent that even standing room was bard to get, and delegates continued to arrive.

Everybody who knows anything about Conventions, of either party, is aware that the business is always done in the private meetings, although such does not appear in the official proceedings. We have taken the liberty, however, to detail the proceedings the business session, in order that a proper idea may be obtained of the spirit which prevailed on the occasion. Of the resolutions, we do not care to speak. 1 bey speak for themselves; our candidate can do the same, as Mr. Dockery has had reason to know, and he will have still further reason to feel.

We have now only room to allude briefly to the pleasure with which we marked the absence of factious or sectional feelings among the delegates from the West. They manifested a North Carolina feeling alike in pobtical and in other matters. On Thursday the Convention rrTet in open session 10 o'clock, and ratified the matter. The nomination of course was made unanimous, as it was -i. hn.moui session perfectly so Some good speeches were made, which we would have been pleased to have beard.

No doubt many additional delegates were in attendance. The Ball Opcnetl ThA nomination of Mr. Bragg by the Democratic vention on Thursday last may be considered as tne fair and nroner opening of the canvass tor Governor con of this State both parties have now their champions in the field, for we believe that no doubt exists of Mr. accentance of the position to which he has Kn bv the voice of his party. The platforms nf hnih narties are also before the people of the State, bv whom the merits of both candidates and platforms miist he decided.

funeral Dockerv and those' who may act him we intend to pursue the same course which we have invariably pursued towards those, who may rmd to us that is to treat them witn every re until their own conduct towards us or in the conduct of the canvass may demand rebuke or expo sure We trust that the occasions for such rebuke or exposure may not arise-we sincerely trust that the canvass may be conducted upon proper principles, and without appeals to demagogueism, or the attempt to enlist improper feelings and influences. Of the candidate of the Democratic party, we know that he is a gentleman of talents of high personal standing and much beloved and respected by those who know him devoted to the interests of the State and the whole State possessed of the full confidence of his own party and well calculated to command the respect even of his opponents. He is a Democrat of the old school, sound and reliable. For his position upon internal improvements we refer our neighbor of the Herald and others to the 8th Resolution passed by the Democratic Convention. This resolution is not simply the expression of the opinions of the Convention, to which Mr.

Bragg's assent as a candidate might perhaps be regarded by some as a mere matter of form but it is known to be the expression of Mr. Bragg's own personal opinion; for this statement we have the authority of such gentlej men as Hon. Asa Biggs and others who are well nc-quaintedvith Mr. Bragg, and who very recently conversed with him upon this subject. We hope that our neighbor's fears are somewhat quieted on this score.

And now when we are on this subject and have mentioned the name of Mr. Biggs we may further add a statement made by that gentleman in regard to his own position upon internal improvements which had been misunderstood. He had been represented as opposed to all internal improvements, which was a misconception of his views. He was not opposed to internal improvements; and never had been. He had simply opposed certain schemes p.

it ...1,1:. he considered inexpedient anu wasieiui oi u.e puuwi, money and not calculated to build up a proper State system. The effect of the Convention resolution, adopted by the WThig State Convention, we find to be precisely what we said some time since it would be. Intended to humbug both sections the East and the West it has failed in both. A Convention of Western Whigs has been called in Henderson, in the mountains, to denounce the resolution insomuch as it only.

recommends a limhed Convention; whereas they want an unlimited one for the purpose of changing the basis. In the East any tampering with the Convention question must be regarded with suspicion, and alienate votes. Contrast with this the emphatic declaration contained in the 7th resolution of the Democratic platform, that we are opposed, under any and all circumstances, to a change in the basis of representation in the Senate and House of Commons and that we will never abandon the great principle of Free Suffrage, but will unite with our fellow citizens of both parties in pressingitv in the face of all opposition and difficulties, to its final triumph." In this position, in a cordial union with their brethren from the East, every delegate from the West heartily joined and there were delegates from the extreme West. The attempt to electioneer upon a man's position in life we look upon as the smallest of all electioneering, and we cannot but think tliat many if not all in-telligent whigs are sick of the nonsense about the Old Waggoner" and Waggon boy," and all that sort of thing about General Dockery. We are sorry to see an article of this character in the Commercial of this morning.

If we were inclined to use such issues, we might turn to old Thomas Bragg, the father of our candidate, a carpenter and the builder of several edifices in this State and elsewhere, and to his family who have been in a great measure the architects of their own fortunes and reputations to $ur worthy candidate and to his equally worthy brothers Captain Biagg, the hero xf the Mexican war, and Hon. Judge John Bragg of Alabama all of whom are worthy of their noble old father. It is not against men or families like this that the cant of aristocracy can be safely canted. Rcxa way.
