According to previous publication, a num ber of delegates from the counties of Orange and Person, (Wake not being represented,) met in Hillsborougn, on nday tbe lxtn insta te- nominate a Whig-Candidate for Congress. The Convention was oreanized by calling Michael Holt, Esq. to the Chair Mr. E. A.

Heartt W'as requested to act as Secretary. Ou motion of Dr. Craig, it was RttolvetL That this Convention proceed to nomi nate a Whig candidate tor Congress, for this district. Whereupon, the name of Dr. James S.

Smith was submitted to the Convention and the question being taken, Dr. Smith re ceived the nomination. Messrs. Hugh Woods and William Daniel from Person, and Mr. Isaac Holt from Orange, were appointed a Committee, to wait upon Dr.

Smith and inform him of the nomination and request his acceptance. Dr. Smith, having been waited on by the Committee, personally appeared before the Convention and, after thanking them for the kindness manifested in favoring him with the nomination, desired to know if tbe county of Wake was represented in the Convention, or if any information Jiad been received from that county as he deemed it necessary to success that a union of the Whigs of the whole district should be had. After ascertaining that Wake Was not represented, and that nothing had been heard from it, he suggested the propriety of postponing the nomination until we could be assured of their hearty co-operation. This suggestion having been concurred in, Mr.

Stafford then moved that this Con vention adjourn to meet again on Saturday, the 27th iust. and that a Committee of five gentlemen from Orange, and five from Per son, be appointed to correspond with gentle men in Wake, and earnestly request them to send delegates to the adjourned meeting on the 27th which was adopted. 1 The following gentlemen were recom mended as suitable persons to compose said Committee, and were appointed by the Chair. From Orange, Dr. James A.

Craig, George Hurdle, John Stafford, John Newlin, and Michael Holt, Esq. From Person, John Barnett, Edwin- G. Keade, William Daniel, Hugh Woods, and ay ward Wil liams. On motion, the Convention then adjourn ed lo meet again on the 27th inst. in Hills borough.

We were particularly strudi; with the truth and force' of the following sentiment which the other day attracted oar attention, in an exchange How often have, we seen instances of the great evils growing out 01 a 1 neglect on the. part of rarents, to at terra 1 properly to. the intellectual aud moral wants of their children, their whole time and at tention beinff taken up in devising and ex ecuting schemes by which they might acquire property to leave them. By this course of the Parents, children are naturally taugm jo a to Jook upon money as the ultimatum ot nu-man existence they grow up selfish, refractory and ungrateful all the finer feelings of their nature are lost in the all predominant passion to accumulate or to possess and enjoy property, and too often, there is a secret satisfaction at tne deatn ot an aged and infirm Father, inasmuch as that event enables them to divide his hard earned gains among themselves. There are hundreds of Parents laboring and foiling, from year to year, to lay up some thing with which to start their children in tbe world, and so entirely neglect the improvement of their intellectual and moral natures as to refuse to incur the trifling ex pence of a reluctantly drag out enough of truck and turn-over, to pay some old-field Schoolmaster, for learning them to make an apology for reading and writing; thinking that no more is required, or at least, that is all they can afford.

Children brought up in this way, will of course look with no pleasant feelings, upon whatever may chance to stand in the way of their enjoying the property provided for them and such Parents need not to be surprised if, when they are unable to do more, they are secretly wished out of the way, that their property may be transferred. To provide a portion of this world's goods for children is right and proper, but the evil lies in attending to this alone, in not preparing them for any probable event that may befal them on the boisterous sea of life which can only be done by instilling, and fixing deep in the mind the principles of Religion, virtue and common sense. "Many an unwise parent labors hard, and lives sparingly all hia life, for the purpose of leaving enough to give bia children a start in the world, as it is called. Setting a young man afloat with money left him by hia relatives, is like tying bladders under the arm of one who cannot swim ten chances to one be wilLIose bis bladders and go to the bottom. Teach him to swim, and he will never need tbe bladders.

Give your child a Bound education, and you have done enough for bim. See too, that his morals are pure, his mind cultivated, and his whole nature subservient to the laws which govern men and you have given him what will be of more value to him than the wealth of the Indies. Yon have given him a start which no misfortune can deprive him of. Tbe earlier yon teach him to depend upon bia own resources, the better. The Editor of the Liverpool (Eng.) Mercury relates the following Anecdote from his own experience, as a practical illustration of the good effects likely to result from accustoming youth ef different Religious creeds to operate together in the same School "The boarding-school at which we pas sed several years of our youth was kept by a all the scholars, with the exception of one, were protestants that one was a Catholic, and a sad life the poor lad had of it for some time after his introduction among us, as we had, by some means or other, imbibed a strong aversion for Popery, and a dread and hatred for Catholics, or Rednecks, as we used to- call them why or wherefore we knew not.

We had read something about Catholics having burned Protestants, but we had not heard a word about Protestants having served Catholics after the same fashion. Our schoolmaster was too orthordox to en-lighten us on that point and if any one had at that time told us that there were as many persons put to death for religious opinions in the reign of good Queen Bess, of blessed and pious memory, as in the reign of bloody Mary, we should have laughed the fellow to scorn, or, in all probability, pelted him as a libellous blasphemer. In the course of a few months, our prejudices against our new Catholic associate began somewhat to abate, and the circumstance-which first male us look upon him without i absolute aversion must not be concealed, although it is. by no means creditable to our orthodoxy. The ffiends of the youth were in the habit of sending htm presents of tarts, cakes, and confectionary, and as he was a very good- natured ooy, be used to be very liberal in sharing amongst us the good things with which he.

was so plentifully supplied. We soon discovered that there was no difference between Catholic pies and Protestant pies, and that Popish coffee was quite as good as the orthordox article. in process of time, Unding that our lately despised associate was a fine-tempered, spirited, and clever youth, always ready to dp a good turn to any of his companions, we began to be reconciled to him as well as his and in a short time we had entirely forgotten that he was vaiuuuc. Lie XO WMOm We have alluded was allowed the free use of the Catholic Testament by the clergyman in whose school we assembled, and we never quarrelled about the construction to be put upon the Epistle to Timothy." Ur 1 he Hon. JoHir Q.

Independently of the fact that the whole aobject baa been thrut into this deba'e, there seems to be some propriety in devoting a portion of tbe passing hour to the consider auon of the extent and influence of Executive author ity." The honorable Senator then proceeded to comment on the abuse of the power of remo val from office, and put this case Inform.ua why the gallant Habbibo 9, the Hero ofF ort Meigs, the victor at Tippecanoe and tire Thames a veteran in council as well as in the field, distinguished for his virtues in all the relations of the citizen, the soldier, and the statesman why I ask, was he proscribed aa unfit to represent his country abroad, and withdrawn from Colombia, to make room; for Thomas P. Moore He bad scarcely arrived at Bogota the ink was still fresh on the Executive record which informed the President that it waa the advice of the Senate that he should represent us there, when the order for his removal waa announced. Thia could not have been dime for any official misconduct. There had been no time to inquire into that.
