PURCELL i Richmoa3, to EXECUTED, AT-THIS OPJlCili Tfithnsefnetsdnddespstthi Dgano MDD1 The dme i near at hand; when Candidates for the Legislator' in the different Counties will have to be ehosen. We almost regard it as an' uncalled for task, to call upon the Whigs of Worth Carolina to rally In defence of their cherished principles, and for. the maintenance of their honor, as men pledged to stand by the Constitution.

And, was the ensuing contest one of an ordinary nature, we might not so soon be heard in making oaf appeals. But there are times, in the history of every country, when tardi ness or silence is treason and ihss are they." Inaction, now, Is crime. Never did nation sitting in sackcloth for the sins of its rulers call more imperatively upon all good citixena to vindicate her fame; than does ours at the present time. 1 he great question to be decided this year i wiU the PsorL sanction all the acts of usurpation and corruption perpetrated by President Polk's Administration! We do not believe that the intelligent yeomanry of North Carolina will ever give a vote ef approval to the abominableschemes which have characterised and disgraced the Party now in. power.

If, then, the gallant Whigs of the Old North State would make their influence felt throughout the Union, they must not only hold their own," but they bust increase their majorities in the Legislature'and on the popular vote for Governor. To do this, they have only to merge all personal feelings in a desire for the suc cess of the cause to go to work systematically and harmoniously. The eyes of the Union will be upon wur "vuS first, to move that "Ball," which, we trust and be- a v. lieve, is, in November, to roll on and crush forever .1 Tl .1 I preuunnuancy ci oco oco m.sruic Cou- iroi 01 we auairs 01 una iiauuo. 11 we wouia eiau- den the hearts of our brethren every where, we must be diligent and.

Let our friends see to it, then, that the right men are brought out in erry District and- County, for the Senate and House of Commons, and we shall achieve a Buena Vista triumph. THIRTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Republicanism Established in France. The following despatch, (says the Petersburg Republican, of Wednesday,) announcing the arrival of the Steamer Caledonia was received at our office yesterday about half jast 1 o'clock. It gives but a meagre outline of the news brought over by the Steamer, but enough to show that it is very important and to produce a feverish anxiety to get the details.

These we shall hasten to lay before our readers as soon as we receive them. Richmond, Makch 23, I P. M. The steamer Caledonia has arrived. Republicanism is established in France her independence acknowledged by England, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria, and other surrounding nations.

Lou is Philuppe and other Koyalists are in tngtana. All Europe is tremendously agitated, and the people are leaning towards Republicanism. No more flighting in France soldiery favored people. Italy turning towards a Republican form of government. Riots, in London, Liverpool and Belgium.

This is the most important news that has everceme from Europe. Money depressed. FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO. The Steamship Massachusetts and the ship Dan- vers arrived at New Orleans on the 19th ult. from Vera Cruz the latter bringing dates to the 12th ultimo.

The news is We give the prin cipal features. An armistice has been signed, by which it is agreed that the Americans are not to occupy any part of the country not now in their possession the eel- ectidn of taxes is suspended, except those en gam- iDgshouses, liquor-shops, and places of amusement when elections are held at any place occupied by the American forces, they are to withdraw from the imita of the town until the election is over. There are a number of other articles, giving the Mexicans almost the entire right to the government. General Lane left the capital on the 17th ult. About the fourth day he arrived at Sequaltaplan.

Before his arrival, however, information reached him that a thousand Mexican lancers were posted at that place. When they got opposite to the first house at theredge of the town, a volley of escopette balls was fired from the inside. The doors were forced open, and the assailants killed. At the next house, the scene was repeated. The town was then as saulted, the enemy firing from every house.

The e'nemy was soon driven from every position, and collected in a body outside the town, pursued by Gen. Lane and Colonel Hayes. The Mexicans were terribly cut up about 100 of them being killed. In the action the American loss was 1 man killed, and 4 wounded. Fifty prisoners were taken among them Capt.

Montano and 2 lieutenants. Lieut CoL Montano (father of the captain) and Martinex, a bosom friend of Jarauto, escaped. It was rumored that Gens. J'illow and Worth had been restored to their commands. The debarcation of our troqps was celebrated at Vera Cruz on the 0th Some difficulty had occurred with the Ayuntamr ento of the Capital, respecting a suspension of the assessment for four days, until the armistice was signed the members had all sent in their, resigna tions to the Governor.

The archbishop had written a protest against the heavy assessments on church property. -c I Santa Anna was again at Tehuacan on the 12th ult the government had givenhim the passports he desired. It was supposed that in asking it, he in tended only to deceive the government, and to pat himself at the head of a large body or troops. The tcourt-martial in Worth's case had not convened. Advices from Qneretaro state that Congress was slow in coming together at the last meeting there were but 21 members.

War ExrtNsEs. Daniel Webster, a year ago, declared in the United States Senate, that-tbe expeoees of the war would amount to one million and a half per week. The government press and its echoes every where ridiculed the estimate. But the War Secretarvhas made a report to tbeSenate at their cal in which it is staTed. that the War Department aone.

March 29. 20 Standard and Biblical Rscordsr copy given in another we are since its receipt, in possession of more extended intelligence brought by the Caledonia, which, on account of the lateness of the hour when it was received last night, we are compelled to condense as much as possible. The following is a brief summary it is said that the revolution has spread through put France.

All the Departments have joined the Republic. Louis Phillippe and the Royal family, with Guiot have arrived in Eneland. The European Tunes, dated Liverpool, Sunday, March 12, says The revolution in France is now au fait accompli. The abdication of Louis Phillippe, the appointment and rejection or a regency, the complete triumph of the Parisians over the army, the establishment of a Provisional Orovernmeot, the proclaim of a the overthrow of the House of Peers and titled distinctions, the precipitate and abject flight of all the members of the Orleans family and their mis guided ministry to our own shores or other places of exile, the immediate recognition of the new Re public of ranee by Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, and the United States, have jfl fallen in such rapid succession, that the events of every hour come teeming with some mighty occurrence affecting the doctrines of whole nations and dynasties. A decree has gone forth that a new National As sembly is' to be called on the 20th of April," when the Provisional Government will resign its power into tile hands of the definitive Government.

Uni versal suffrage, and vote by ballot are to secure lib erty, equality and fraternity to France. Our latest advices from Paris, are to March 9th, and represent the City as tranquil, but the financial crisis tstill continues unabated, And seme eminent houses are spoken of as being in difficulties, but no further failures have been announced. The Arch Bishop of Paris, accompanied by two vicars generals, presented himself to the Provisional Government oa Tuesday, and cave in his adhesion to the new order of things in the name of the entire clergy of the Diocese. England waits with her arms folded, in deep and anxious alarm, for the next scene of this "strange, eventful In London', a trifhne disDositionJo riot was exDeri- enced in the early part of he week, but the disorderlies were confined to mischievous boys and citizens out of employment Order was speedily restored. In Glasgow, the tumults were more serious, and several persons were unfortunately shot by the mil itary.

The noiers in that city were merely thieves who plundered the shops and have evident) no po litical object in view. ln Ireland, no breach of the peace has yet taken place, but the exciting language of certain portions of the press, which surpasses anything withiu our recollection, nas not escaped the attention of the au thorities. The Ex-King and Queen of France arrived at Brighton, (England) on the 3d of March. The King, in landing, was dressed in a green blouse and blue over-coat, borrowed of the captain of the Express. The King bad not, in fact, a change of clothing.

The Ex-King and Queen have, for some days, been moving from farm-house to farm-house, in the neigh borhood of Trefort They were nearly exhausted by fatigue and, on his arrival, the King stated that a night or two back, he had thought of giving himself up. On landing, the Ex-King and Q.ueen were wel comed by the inhabitants, nearly the whole of whom had the gratification of being shaken by the hand by Louis Phillippe. Paris, eb. 29. Mr.

Rush, Ambassador of the U. States, accompanied by Mr. Martin and major Pineson also waited on the members of the Provis ional Government, to whom he delivered a flatter ing address. The following details of this interview are taken from the National At 2 o'clock, the representative minister of the United States went to the Hotel de Ville, in formal recognition of the Provisional Government, to whom he delivered a flattering' address. It was appropriate in the representative of the American Union, to be the first to welcome our infant Republic, for there is no bond more powerful between nations than com munity of sentiment The step taken by the minister of the United States has made existing circumstances of serious importance.

Although fully ex-. pected, it has touched acutely all the members of the Provisional Government and after an interview, in which were exchanged the noblest sentiments, they in a body accompanied this Representative of a great nation to the threshhold of the Hotel de Ville, as a proof of the cordial affection which must ever exist between the American and French Republics. The whole of the Colonels of the lOSth and 78th were nearly all massacred by their own men for refusing to march against the Tuileries. CONGRESS. The Senate was not in session on March 25, having adjourned over until Monday.

1 he House of Representative, on motion of Mr. Rockwell, of went into committee for the purpose of takiogup the private calen dar. Mr. Mullen, from the Committee on Elections made a report relating to the New York election case. ne majority or the committee decide.

upon the evidence brought before ihein. that the seat occupied by. Mr. Jackson, the.eitting mem ber, be awarded to Mr- Monroe, the claimant. The minority also have a report, which, with the other was ordered to be printed.

The House then adjourned. ln the Senate, on March 27, affer some unimportant business, the consideration of the Loan Bill was resumed and Mr. Niles addressed the Senate. Mr. Niles concluded by warning the country against the consequences of accumulating a large national debt.

Mr. Atherton replied briefly to sdShe of the remarks of Mr Niles. Mr. Niles explained. Mr.

Clayton moved an amendment, which was adopted, providing for the ultimate redemption of the loan out of any moneys in the treasury nut otherwise appropriated. Mr. Daviti. of Massachusetts inouired of the chairman of the Finance Committee (Mr. Ather- ton,) whether, it ail accounts were now settled the public debts would be less than 100 000,000.

Mr Atherton replied that it depended upon certain contingencies. In the House of Representatives, on motion of Mr. Harralsoo, the joint resolution to refund money. or expenses, incurred, subahuence or transportation urnished, and money advanced by individual citizens of the United States, for the use ofihe volunteers, before and after being mustered into service, was taken up an made the special order for Wednesday next. Mr.

Boyd moved a suspension of the rules, for the purpose of reading a first and second time and referring the Ten' Regiment bill from the Senate, but the House, 89 to 87, (two thirds being necessary.) refused to suspend. On motion of MftV Vinton ihe Indian Appropriation Bil was then taken up in committee ot the whole and the amendment of Mr McKay, pending when the House adjourned on Thursday, was adopted, which being amended, was read the third time and parsed.

WEBSTER'S SPEECH. 5 We commence in this paper, and shall conclude in our next, the unanswerable Speech of the Hon. Dam-iel Wfbstkr, in the Senate of the United Stases, on the Bill to authorize a loan of sixteen millions of dollars to the Government of the United States. We bespeak for it, a calm, candid and careful perusal as it is, decidedly, one of the ablest exposures of the corruptions of the Party in power, that we have ever seen. We hope not a single subscriber to the Register will fail to read, it The time of the singing Birds is com We have had for the last week, most delightful Spring weather, which has set our Botanists and Horticulturists all agog, about preparing their daisy beds, flower plots, and kitchen gardens for pruning and cultivation.

The doors of sealed green houses have been thrown open the Orange trees and Geraniums are now set out from their prison houses, te catch the soft nectar dew, to be kissed up by the invigorating Oriental King, as he rises to give light and life to all around. The Blue-bird is again visiting us, with its beautiful and warble, and the Marten's return heralds the death of that stern old monarch last, but not leasl the Ladies are but, "good as new," (no re-flectionsj we didn't say old) flitting, like butterflies, in beauty and finery, visiting and making Pa's and Husband's pockets suffer chatting Beaux, and giving bewitching side-glances on the' pavement and a thousand other nice things. And the Gents pshaw! there's no Poetry about themstrapped down to earth, and dollars and cents, as they are. But we do love the sweet, mild Spring. ADVERTISING IN RALEIGH.

We venture the assertion, thai in no place of the sixe and business pretensions cV Raleigh, is there so little Advertising done by the Merchants and business men, as here. But few of our Merchants eveu advertise the arrival of their new Stocks of Goods and yet we hear these very meV complain of dull times and slow sales How can they expect any thing else? do they deserve any better luck? They do not let the public know that they have any inducements to offer customers, and, therefore, they do not go to see. We have heard great complaints made by some of our Merchants, about the patronage bestowed by our citizens upon transient Dealers, who come and squat down in Raleigh for a limited time. But, it is not to be wondered, at nor does require a Solomon to divine the cause. When they come, they appear in the Newspapers with flaming advertisements, telling all the world how good and eheap their Goods are and, as a natural consequence, the people go to see; and they buy, too.

Let our own Merchants profit by their example. But there are a few honorable exceptions to the reprehensible practice of neglecting to advertise, among our Merchants and for the names of such, we refer the reader to the Advertising columns of the Register. We can Touch for these, that they will give the best of bargains, and will use every exertion to please their Town and Country customers. They have done so heretofore, and we are sure they cannot fail to accommodate and gratify all who may visit them this season. We.will not particularize these Establishments by calling names, now, believing that all will take the hint, and do themselves the justice to follow the example so sensibly set them.

But we will say, that we don't know that we have ever seen variety of richer, more beautiful, or more substantial Goods, tnan are to be found on the shelves and counters of our Merchants who have advertised nor do we remember a time when the same articles could be purchased upon more reasonable terms. To the Ladies of our City, whose approbation so i much delight the Merchant; (and is duly cherished by the Printer.) we caja only say, if a visit to any of these Stores does not now charm them, and they will otify us of the fact, we will take the responsibility," and give the delinquent Merchant a "sVrious curtain lecture77 through the window. GENEROUS BEQ.UEST. W.e understand from the Hillsboro' Recorder," that the Court of Wardens of the Poor of the County of Orange, at their last meeting, received from the Hon. Dowea CaxesJos, of this City, Executor of the late Thomas D.

Bkhnehax, Esq. a bond for one thouaand dollars, in trust to the said Wardens, and their successors in office, for the benefit of the Poor of said County. This was done in compliance with a bequest in the will of the said Thomas D.

And is it still regarded by them as a fire-brand We do not often see one of these spark-extinguishing "organs," but, by chance, we happen to find a reply to an article from one of them in an exchange. It is from the "New Haven (Connecticut) Register," (Loco.) It seems that the Locos have no Candidate for the State Senate in that District, and the Register" appeals to the Abolitionists, to have nothing to do with the Whigs that they are going to nominate a slave-holder for the Presidency and it tells the Locos of the 6th Sen- atorial District to vote for Eber Hotchkiss. the AbolUioH Candidate, who is xaow to be an anti- WilmQt Pr0Ti9O rather Fen. MM fi Wh- Can(lidate whom it does nof- regard as to sound in this doctrine The Standard" says of the above quotation, frpm that paper These are facts which the Editor pf the Register cannot meet." We think we have met one accidentally, it is true but if we had access to these beautiful "organs," we could "meet these facts" in a thousand similar instances.

The Standard" is opposed to asking Congress to "establish" slavery in new Territories, but says "hands off 1" is his doctrine. It makes one quota tion from our article of the ISthin favor of South ern rights, and dissents from it We will reiterate another proposition we then made, and ask the "Standard" whether this suits his North Southern views Here it is. We said "Let Southern members of Congress bring for ward a Resolution, declaring that the citizens of Slave btates may remove with their Slaves into new Mexico, and California," We then pronounced this the only tirue test ques tion between the North and South, and asked, "how many votes will it command from any free State in the Union?" But the "Standard" will object to this, likewise, because he knoivs, that Buchanan, Cass, Dickinson, Croswell, Forney," and all the peculiar friends of the South, in the free States, will by this means be made to show the cloven foot, in going, as they would, against the South The "Standard" winds with a chapter of Prophecies, but as he is well known in these regions as a false Prophet, they arenot worth noticing. We will ask the Editor of that paper one plain question: If James K. Polk should be the norni nee of the Baltimore Convention for President, and David Wilmot, or one of his stripe, for Vice President, wouldn't he go the whole figure, tail and all li We pause for a reply." But willwe get a positive answer, one way or the other We doubt it But nous verrons.

The truth is, the Southern Platform," as the Wilmot Proviso Loco Focos call it, cannot be eree- ted on the other 6ide of the Potomac. Indeed, even in some parts of the South, it is objected to as being entirely too narrow. The Banner," a Loco Foco paper, published at Athens, Georgia, by an ex-mem' ber of Congress, and the Louisiana Courier," are both out against the Alabama and Virginia Resolu tions, because they say they require a test which no Northern aspirant can subscribe to, without losing the support of every non-slaveholding State, and consequently substituting for the present political organizations, parties divided altogether by geogra phjeal lines. They ask, 'what is the South, the weaker party, to gain by the application of this test, if the result of it must be either the exclusion of ev ery Southern man forever from the Executive De partment of the Natioual Government, or a dissolu tion of the Union 1 And to this complexion will the "Standard" have to come at last I Mark it The Correspondent of the "Baltimore Clipper," of Match 27, says: I informed you yesterday of the rumored resignation of Mr. Buchanan, Secre tary of State, as not being true.

This report, I ap prehend, arose from the investigation, by a Com mittee of the Senate, in reference to the publication of certain documents in the New York Herald, not previously made public. From circumstances connected with the investigation, it is suspected that these documents were procured from the State Department That department is no father restricted in keeping documents secret than may be dictated by mere considerations of propriety but if the papers alluded (the first correspondence and the treaty,) were obtained from that department, wheth er the Secretary was coguizant of it or not, it is rea sonable to suppose that he should come in for a share df the censare. Hence the difficulty supposed to ex ist in the Cabinet the result of which may ulti mately be a resignation of Mr. Bcchanar, if not a decided rupture the national cabinet Nous ver rons. RATHER TOO FAST.

A Resolution was offered by a member of the Kentucky, Democratic Convention during its session last month, approving the ratification of the Treaty with Mexico, provided its terms are such as are represented in the papers. For a time, no objection was made to it, and the vote was about to be I taken, when a Mr. Clark arose and remarked that the Resolution was, in his opinion, premature. He said the proceedings in the Senate on the Treaty were not yet known, and although it was understood the President favored the Treaty, it was not known how the parties stood upon the final rote by which it was ratified there "is no reliable information as yet, whether it is a Whig, or a Democratic Treaty The effect of Mr. Clas k's suggestion was electric The Resolution was speedily withdrawn, and all ac tion on the subject postponed, until it is ascertained "whether the Treaty was ratified by Whig Totes, or Democratic Totea.w, This is Democracy I Scott ajtd Clay Tihjmhant Mess rs.
