Green, David W. Spitej', William D. Coppedge, Dr. Jos.

P. Jenkins, and William P. Solomon, and while the committee were preparing resolutions, William A. Jenkins, of Warren, being present, was unanimously called for to address the meeting, which he did in an eloquent and enthusiastic manner, showing clearly that the Democratic party is the only national party, and the only party upon whose great principles the people of the country can rely. Mr.

Jenkins painted in deep and glowing colors, the ridiculous abandonment of the 1 2th section of the K. N. platform, by certain portions of the so-called Americans ot this State, a'nd administered generally to tfcdark lantern order, a severe castigation, which itso richly deserves.

OUR CITY FATHERS. Messrs. Eoitors Our large-hearted City Fathers after having duly performed all their small dut'ux, such as putting theipiimps, water-tanks, bridges and streets in excellent 'order, and paying all the Citv debts, to tho great satisfaction of our citizens, have at last fairly arrived at the weightier matters of the law. The great businesH for which they were selected from the mass of their fellows is now fairly reached. The Board resolved itself into a grand Temperance Society, and decided that we shall no longer spree il by the glass-ful which is a very pica-3'une business but that the universal worid shall and ought to get gloriously drunk by the quart, in the good old constitutional way.

This great question having been settled, our excellent Board betook themselves with all due solemnity to the mighty task of enlarging the franchises of the free and independent electors of our burgh, and, collaterally, of curtailing the privileges of our town pigs. All porkers, both large and small, are summoned to come up to Jerusalem on the first of April to be taxed, even to the tender suckling of tvo months. Great, in consequence, will be the slaughter of young grunters before they arrive at ti nt tender to save themselves the mortification uf being taxed. But this is all as it' should be. The dear little innocents will be taken out of this wicked world, before arriving at gross and disgusting swinehood.

They will be kindly snatched away, "ere sin could blight or sorrow Very if cruelly suffered to live, they might not only be taxed, but become hogs, and wallow in all manner of filth. From this degradation the Ordinance happily saves them. Besides, the town wants funds to pay the large expenses incurred last yeai and which will accrue during the present, in prosecuting those felonious gentlemen who contumaciously refuse to carouse by the quart, as enjoined. The cause was glorious and neither hogs nor men should aught against paying the piper. But the crowning-glory of our City Fathers is, that they have got up the usual periodical revival on the subject of impounding our very filth)' and gluttonous swine.

They, (namely, the swine,) ouht by all means to be shut up at home. The good old Irish custom of the living all in the same house together, of cows, sheep and hogs, should be honored in the Ordinance. The new fangled modern party which has been trying to Americanize every bocy, ought no longer to be tolerated among us. Let us be all free again, ano be allowed to live together in peace, as we did in the "ould counthrie." Our City Fathers do well to force these Americon hayihens back to the good old ways. They, (namely, t'16 turn out tho gentle cow on the cold charity of the world, instead of allowing her to share their firesides.

They would not allow the frisky pig to curl his beautiful tail on the domestic hearth, but would expose him to the rude gaze of the public. Our considerate City Fiithcrs have changed all this to their credit be it spoken. Let them be firm in all their If the aristocracy will not voluntarily admit their cattle and pigs to share their domestic felicity, they ought not to have the blessing. Let the Ordinance be enforced on the ungrateful sinners on "All Fool's Day." The happiness of people a'nd pigs would be greatly promoted. Also, let the reform be extended.

The' Ordinance requiring pigs to be panned or pounded, is wise and tasty to be sure, but not very original. It has been tried before, and with eminent success. But finish the good work. Covn ought not to be allowed to perambulate our streets, pisving up dirt, and frightening the ladies by Iheir hideous bellow-ings. Little niggers arc also a nuisance and they ought by no means to be permitted to show their bare legs, and play marbles on the side-walks of our Great Gity.

It is very offensive and revolting. Let our authorities abate these nuisances and achieve immortality at once, by passing stringent ordinances against them on or before the first of April next." This is a great age. We are a great peo ple: and we ought to do great things. I'ADUX O' WHACK. Political infatuation.

There is a notion very lonestly entertained by many people, that a party tame gives them an identity, which no times nor circumstances may change. Hence, we frequently hear those who are among our best and roost intelli gent citizens, talk in this wise: "I was born a whig, I will live a whig and will die a whig" or any other party name, as the case may be. My dear sir, the Goose that struts about your yard, was born a Goose, will live a Goose and will die a Goose, from the very sternest necessity the law of his nature. But we cannot see the parallel when applied to the immortal mind of man. Wil.

Com. A rack foh tbt crumbs or Jacksonism. The negro sympathizers at Pittsburg called Jackson' editor of the old Globe to the chair, and the half-breeds at Philadelphia, not to be outdone in devotion to the memory of the Old Hero, headed off the Pitts-burgers by nominating his private secretary for Vice President A beggar once called at a farm-house at hog-killing time and asked for something to eat. The old farmer, in the kindness of bis soul, now enlarged by the plenty around asked the beggar what he would have? "Oh," replied he, "beggars should pot be choosers any of the offal, such as spare-j-ibs, sausages, and tho like. Ohio Statesman.

The editor of a Kentucky paper, who was present at the recent Know-Nothing gathering at Louisville, and heard all their addresses, remarks theieon as follows: "The speeehes were all about the Pope. If the leaders of this Order were half as much afraid of the Devil as they pretend to be of the Pope, they would be better men than they are, and would never again rejoice over the ashes and bones of women and children that they had murdered." messages of Frahkiin Pierce, entitle tuna to the confidence nd admiration of every friend of liberty, who hpes for the perpetuation ot our Union; and that so long as such doctrines shall jpon-trol the legislation Congress, no section of the Union will ever have occasion to seek concession or compromise; but the operations of our government will present a scene prosperityr peace and happiness, which will challenge the admiration of the civilized world. Th tho reneal of the -Missouri Com promise by the Kansas-Nebraska bill, removed from onr statutes a legislative msuiv ----m restored the equality of that portion of the Union which had been lost by its enactment. Resolved, That when it shall become the settled policy of the federal government, that no more States recognizing slavery in their constitutions, shall be admitted into the Union, the Union itself will not be worth preserving. Resolved, That we i approve of the convention ol the Democratic partyi to be held in Cincinnati, for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice President of the United we hereby pledge ourselves to sustain the nominees of that convention, provided they be consistent Democrats and true to the rights of the States, and pledged to sustain the fugitive slave law and the rights of the South, as contained in the guarantees of the constitution and we do hereby instruct our delegates to the said convention, neither to affiliate, assemble or co-operate with any knounreesoiler or abolitionist, by whatever authority they may claim "a seat in that convention.

Resolved, That we approve of the administration of the State government, by his Excellency Thomas Bragg, and cordially recommend him to the Democrats of North-Carolina as their candidate for reelection. Resolved, That we approve of the convention of the Democratic party, to be held in Raleigh on the 1 6th day of April next, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Governor, appointing delegates to the Cincinnati convention, and electors for the State at large; and we hereby instruct our delegates to cooperate with the delegates from the various counties of this Congressional District, in selecting delegates to the Cincinnati convention for this District. Resolved, That the Chairman of this meeting do appoint six delegates from each Captain's District to represent us in said convention, and as many at large as the Chair shall choose. J. M.

Stone, on reading the resolutions, addressed the meeting in an earliest and entertaining manner, and gave utterance only to sound and patriotic sentiments. After Mr. Stone took his seat, W. A. Jenkins, of Warren, engaged the attention of all present in some weft timed, spirited and eloquent remarks.

Democratic Meeting in Northampton. At a meeting of the Democrats of Northampton, held in the Court House on Monday the 3d instant, Capt. J. M. S.

Rogers was called to the Chair, and J. W. Boon was appointed Secretary. The Chairman explained the object of the meeting, when, on motion, a committee of five was appointed to draft resolutions. The following gentlemen were appointed the committee Dr.

W. S. Copeland, Gen. T. J.

Person, T. G. Tucker, B. Moore, and L. W.

Boykin, who, after retiring for a while, reported the following resolutions. Gert. Person and MrEdward Conigland addressed the meeting in short but stirring speeches, after which the resolutions were unanimously adopted Resolved, That amidst the fusion and confusion of parties in the countrj, the Democratic party occupies an enviable position, and we, the Democrats of Northampton, feel proud of our connexion with it. Resolved, That the Democratic party has ever been open and candid in the declaration of its principles, and has always held the same general principles in every section of the country and while it has been frequently taunted and jeered as a party of platforms, it has, from time to time, adopted such platforms as have been sanctioned, sooner or later, by the American people. Resolved, That it is a gratifying reflection to know that the principles and measures advocated by the Democratic party for a'long series of years have, to a great extent, become the settled policy in the administration of our general government and while new questions have been raised of recent date, in which the spirit of bigotry, and fanaticism, have maddened and ruled the hour, we look with confidence alone to the Democratic party to silence agitation, and restore that harmony and union necessary to the continued prosperity and welfare of our common country.

Resolved, That the question as to whether Congress has the right to interfere with slavery in the Territories of the United States, is the great question of the countiy arid we hold that this question can never be settled, with equal justice to all the States, upon any other basis than upon the principles embraced in the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and we pledge ourselves to abide by and support that bill. Resolved, That we regard armed intervention in the affairs of the Teiritory of Kansas, by organized companies of hair-brained abolitionists, as a grievous wrong violative of tha right of that people, and of the rest of this confederacy, and ought to be repelled, promptly and effectually, by every constitutional means in the power df those entrusted with the faithful execution of the la ws. Resolved, That it is the opinion of the Democracy of Northampton, that religion should not be carried to the polls, nor politics to the church; and that a departure from this principle is calculated to arouse the wildest and most wicked passions of our nature, which, in their fury, destroy what is valuable of both. Resolved, That we cordially approve the administration of Franklin Pierce that he has shown himself to be an able, just, and patriotic statesman that he has conducted our foreign relations with wisdom, discretion, and) valor, and in our domestic affairs, he has stood faithfully by the constitution and laws of the country regardless of abuse and defamation, and with an eye single alike to the rights and interests of every section. Resolved, That our honored countyman, Thomas' Bragg, has no more than fulfilled our high expectations of him as the Chief Magistrate of North-Caro-li ia.

We know the nian and to know him is a sufficient assurance of his ability and integrity to administer the affairs of the State with faithfulness and success. His untiring energy and application to business his fixedness of purpose in all he undertakes; his excellent! judgment, his high moral we have, antf shall continue to delrght to honor hinv and to see him honored. Resolved, That we concur in the proposition to bold a Democratic State Convention in the City of Raleigh, on the loth of April and that tho Chairman appoint 30 delegates to attend, said convention and add his own name and -name of the Secretary of this meeting to the list. Kesohed, That the delegates thus appointed stand also appointed to attend a District couvention, at any place hereafter designated, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the National Democratic Convention to be held in Cincinnati next June.

Fonvillle, Jno. A. Avirett, was called to the Chair, and Eli W. Sanders appointed Secretary. The Chairman, calling the meeting to order, announced its object to be the appointment of delegates to the Democratic State Convention, and urged upon the Democracy of old Onslow the paramount necessity of united action in the impending campaigns.

Sanderlin, O. B. Sanders, and James BJ Avirett. In the absence of committee, Eli W. Hall, of New and W.

J. Houston, of Duplin, addressed the meeting in a very appropriate manner. The committee upon resolutions appearing submitted through James B. Avirett, the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, The duty of selecting some suitable person to fill the Gubernatorial Chair of this State will soon devolve upon the Democratic party reposing the most perfect confidence in its time-honored principles and hoping for the perpetuity of our country and her glorious only through their development therefore be it Resolved, That the holding a State Convention at Raleigh on the 16th April, meets our most hearty approbation. Resolved, That the Chairman of this Convention be authorized to appoint forty delegates to said Convention.

Resolved, That Hon. Thomas Bragg, by his eminently patriotic and efficient course, has endeared himself to the Demociacy of this County, and is the first choice of this Convention for re-election. Resolved, That the tenets of the Democratic party, as laid down in the last Baltimore and State Conventions, are still and ever will be endorsed by the Democracy of Onslow.

Resolved, That the Democratic party at the present time occupies a more enviable position than ever heretofore the only national and conservative party that has a soul large enough to embrace the sacred interests and preserve inviolate the constitutional guaranties of every; portion of the entire Union that the fierce and insidious attacks it has met and successfully repelled, during the past four years, so far from shaking our con6dence in the truth and justice ol its principles, only prove to root them deeper and stronger in our hearts and affections. Resolved, That we heartily approve the course of the Democratic members of this State in Congress in the late memorable contest for Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Resolved, That the Democrats of Franklin cannot and will not vote for any man for the Presidency or Vice Presidency whose antecedents do not prove him national and conservative, true to the letter and spirit of the constitution true to the Compromise of 1850 true to the doctrines of non-intervention upon the subject of slavery by Congress as set forth in the Kansas and Nebraska bill and that we do scorn and detest any coalition with abolitionists, free-soilers and black republicans. Resolved, That in our Chief Magistrate, Franklin Pierce, we recognise the able, trusted, and faithful statesman, an honest and determined patriot, true to the principles of the Baltimore platform of 1852, to the pledges of his inaugural address, and to the constitution of the Union, as more fully expounded in his late annual message to Congress; lie has shown himself well wonhy of that generous conlidence, manifested by the overwhelming vote which placed him in the Presidential chair. Resolved, That the wise and prudent administration of State affairs by our Chief Executive, for once has silenced the tongue of detraction and the murmurs of discontent, and that we cannot forbear recommending his name to the Convention for renotni-nation, believing that North Carolina has no son who will bear the Democratic flag more gallantly and surely to victory than the Hon. Thomas Bragg. Resolved, That the Chairman of this Convention appoint five delegates from each Captain's District to represent this County in the Convention to be held in Raleigh on the 16th of April.

And, in order that our purpose may be fully understood, we do Resolve, That we cordially co-operate with our fellow-citizens of every portion of the United States, who admit and sustain the guarantees of the constitution and we repudiate all association with those who, either practically or theoretically, disregard the rights of the Southern States. Resolved, That the altar of religious, toleration erected in these United States, owes its construction, not to Jews nor Catholics, nor to Protestants only, but to the united labors of all who sought here a refuge from trans-Atlantic domination and the Democracy of Granville acknowledge no piety that is prescriptive they recognize no patriotism that is uncivilized and exclusive, and want no Union that is not under the control of an operative constitution.

An excellent opportunity is now presented to those gentlemen who kicked up such a hobbleshew in the Whig ranks in 5', because Mr.

Fillmore failed to get the nomination at the hands of the Baltimore Convention, to return to their first love, and support this patriot and statesman in 1856. We trust they will find do difficulty in showing their aith by their works, The friends of Mr. Filmore will not only receive them into fellowship, but will promise not to reproach them lor the past. Argut. Thank you, Mr.

Argus," for your invitation to come back and your promise of forgiveness for past offences; but we 'can't quite come When Mr. Fillmore was the Executive and administered the government for the whole American people, and executed the laws according to the constitution, he did not suit abolition allies, and you helped them throw him overboard. Now that you have tainted him made him swear allegiance to a secret political faction and have made him the standard-bearer of the dark lantern society, he is, no doubt, the man for. you, but he is no longer the Fillmore of 1852. When he was pure you would not have him now you have corrupted him we do not want him.

We hear, to-day, the roar of your cannon, rejoicing over the nomination of Fillmore. Four years ago we heard the roar of the same cannon when the same Fillmore failed to get your nominated. Oh, consistency I Those gentlemen who kicked up such a hobble-shew in the whig ranks in 1852, because Mr. Fillmore failed to get the nomination," have gone into the great national constitutional party, with which party they will continue to act so long as democracy sustains its principles. A WHIG OF 1852.

March 4th, '56. Petty Annoyance. It may not be generally known throughout the District, that the Hon. H. M.

Shaw has been indicted and tried, in Martin County, on account of the affray between himself and Col. Paine at Hamilton during the canvass last summer. Such is even the fact We are pleased to say, that a jury of his countrymen promptly acquitted him, at the Court held in that Country week before last. Wo have no means of knowing the fact but we suspect that this was the work of some pitiful Know-Nothing, who skulked behind a Grand Jury in order to annoy a powerful opponent of his party. He has accomplished his object he has been the means of dragging Dr.

Shaw from Currituck to Martin County, to stand his trial and his little soul is doubtless happy in the secret enjoyment of its glorious achievement. As a blind, he may have caused Col. Paine to be indicted also; bat he knew that Cot. P. was in Washington City, beyond the reach of Court so he bad a fine chance of indulging his nobU spirit against Dr.

Shaw, without annoying CoL P. We are authorized to offer a reward of one cent for the name of the author of the indictment. Dem. Pioneer..
