Green. We stated yesterday, (Tuesday) morning, that the health of this gentleman had been despaired of by his friends. It is our melancholy duty this morning to announce his death. He died yesterday, the 28th, at about 10 o'clock. His death will delay the publication of the first number of the 'Church Intelligencer" a few days.

Dr. Mott is making an effort to secure another editor, as soon as possible. The funeral of Mr. Green will take place this afternoon. Daily, 29th ftj- A friend has favored us with a copy of Frank I.

Wilson's Add. ess before the "Working Men's Assot ciation''of Baleigh, delivered some weeks ago. While it is very bitter in its denunciations of those who differ with the Working Men upon a question with regard to which all have a right to an opinion, it is much more respectful than we had any right to expect frum'snch a source. It was doub; as an extinguisher to those papers which do not favor ad-valorem, but the nly harm that it has done, is to show the world that its author has a very bad opin ion of those who will not believe as lie does. We suppose it must have been considerably applauded, from the interjections which are scattered through it.

Wonder if they were not written at the same lim the address was? We have no disposition to wound the author's feelings, but sve consider the addrfss a very poor thinthe chief object of the Orator being an attempt to convince liis hearers that certain papers were unfriendly to working-men, whiirh he knew to be a perveision of facts. But, as ihe address is not likely to do any great harm to those papers, or make any great fame for its author, we presume the editors, referred toby him, will let the matter simply pitying the source of W) many ill-tempered words. g3T We are indebted to the Hon.

We have been thinking for several days past, that we would publish he platform of the Opposition party for the benefit of our readers, as well as for future reference, but it is so lengthy we dreaded the task. This morning, however, we determined to try it, though we might fail. We pity poor John Pool, if he undertakes to run on that platform it will take him from now until the middle of Summer, at constant rehearsal, to become acquainted with it. We don ask anybody to read it, for we would not use to ao ib to oouge any one. j- Terrible Tragedy.

New Orleans, Feb. 29. -The Union cotton press was partially burnt this morning, togetner sition of the Wilmington ottrna, Gddsboro Trib une, Tarboro ZVcary, 1 Waxrenton JTezra, Salisbury Banner and Charlotte I Bulletin, all cf which papershave spoken out against any ehange.

They may be called upon to support a platform which endorses the same change which the Opposition platform proposes but, we do not, we cannot believe that such a platform will be endorsed by those democratic papers which have taken positions against AD VALOREM. But, we have no idea that any change of the Constitution will be recommended. A change is not needed, nor has any Democratic county meeting, except in the county of Surry, favored a change, if we recollect rightly.

is not probable to suppose that delegates to the State Convention will presume to pledge their constituents to a which they neither want nor have thought enough about to express an opinion on in county meetings Our position is, that, we are opposed to disturbing the Constitution of our State, and that will be our position after the Convention which will be held here on the 8th of March. 9 We are opposed to arraying a party against the slave-holders of the State, and it cannot be denied that such a result will follow. We have already heard men say, that they would go for it to the exclusion of every negro from North Carolina. It has done that much, and it is easy to see to what a resnlt such a spirit will lead. For ourself, we cannot see any.

A letter dated Fort W. Dec. 1. 1859, An express has just reached this post from Lieut Mufian's Expedition, bringing' the sad intelligence that a severe snow storm had overtaken the party in the Rocfcy Mountains, and that many animals had been, lost and men frozen by the severe cold.

soldiers 4f the escort, who had been left as a rear guard to protect certain quartermasters' stores, were so badly injured nat it was feared their feet would have to he amputated. The expedition, having completed 500 miles of the road, was still pushing on to a mild wintering point. The winter is represented to have set in unusually early with marked severity. We await further intelligence from Lieut. ullan's party with much anxiety.

Lieut. Mullan's party are mostly all from Balti some plausibility to the idea. By the proposed chansxe, "we shall mai ntai it th pri ipl fnrjL'i a ate ptoperty, tor nre skalftax them irnicA." 7 Now, here is the first step towards destroying the pei eonalif of the negro, the tendency of which is to bring about a change in our Constitution, to the effect, that slaves shall not be counted in making up the Federal ratio, or the basis of the House of Commons. That the Observer is willing to yield this strong bulwark of the South, we conclude from a paragraph which immediately followed the above "Hut even these considerations, powerful as they are, are insignficant in comparison with the duty of laying the burdens of taxation upon all alike.in proportion to taeir ability to bear tbem, and to tbe measure of protection which they receive from the government which is upheld by the revenue thus derived." "These considerations are insignificant What considerations Why, it is evident that the means to say, that, to equalize taxation, it would be better to ignore the personality of a negro and say, that he shall not be counted, in making up the basis of representation and in computing the federal ratio for the House of Representatives. This is virtually giving up the independence of the South, for, if that doctrine be followed out, North Carolina alone, would lose three if not four of her members in Congress, while some other southern states would not be entitled to more than one, if that The Observer, like all new converts, goes it a little too strong in the outset.

It would have been quite sufficient for it to have declared its devotion to ad valorem without giving up so much. Our Constitution regards slaves in the two-fold sense of persons and property, and we should not not yield an iota, to please politicians or to be avenged upon black-republicans, because they say that negroes are not property. Now what is the position of the Ob erverf It is simply this, "Fanatics say that slaves are i not property, but persons whlie the Ohserver agrees that they should be regarded as property alone, and not as persons. The result of this will be disastrous to the South, while Black Republicans will be the gainers. We should maintain, to the extreme, that negroes are property and with equal zeal that they are persons for if we give up the personality of slaves, we are irretrievably swamped, without redress.

Again, the Observer says "After all, the change will be scarcely felt in either section, or by any person. Most landholders are slave- holders, and vice versa. If more revenue will be raised from the tax on slaves, less will be required to be raised from lands and thus there will scarcely -be a perceptible difference What an admission for an advocate of a Constitutional change If nobody is to bebenfitted; no change made in the burdens of taxes but all required to pay as much and as little as they now do, what, in the name of all that' is sacred, is the use of going to the expense and trouble of amending the Constitution If the landowners are the slave-owners, and vice versa, what the use of taking the tax off of a man's land and putting it upon his negroes He has it to pay any it matters but little with him upon what it is placed. We must conclude that the Observer went off half-cocked, and without studying its lesson aa well as it generally does upon other subjects. If it can succeed iu gulping ad valorem down the throats of Cumberland Whigs, we shall be surprised that's all.

Excusing Itself. The Wilmington Herald, in an article intended as an excuse, or rather, a reason for its turning over so suddenly to the support of ad pleads itj case thus "Does it follow, because a man, being partially ignorant of a certain measure, expresses opposition to it, that when his eyes are opened to the truth he must necessarily grope along in the old way, just because he had once said in ignorance that way was the right one Must a man 'never depart from his first declarations or opinions, ahd if he does, must he be charged with inconsistency Oh, yes, a man ought to depart from a position wbichhe assumes ignorance," but what excuse can the Herald make for its ignorance Ifa man says, "I was drunk when I stole the spoons," be only admits himself guilty of another crime, which does not at all palliate the first.for he might have gotten drunk to steal the spoons. Now, we dont blame the Herald for turning that somerset on ad valorem, but we are suprised at its reasons, and no little puzzled to know why that somerset was turned in Raleigh. The only solution we can is, that, "Mr. Badger said it must be done1 and over the Herald went.

Supposing this to be the truth of the matter, we have determined to forgive the offence of the Herald, notwithstanding it put in the plea of non compos mentis. i We call atention to the advertisement of Mr. Cal- lan in to-day's paper.

MARRIED 1 In Person at tbe house of Capt J.

H. Harris, on Sunday morning the 19th by tbe Rev. T. Moore, Royster, Esq of Allensville, N. to Miss J.

C. Allen of Person co, ssssssss fft An Obituary Notice of the Creole Died in Raleigh, N. on the morning of the 28th about o'clock, the RkVHEWRT F. Green, in the 36th year pf his and: the 10th of his ministry. He, was son of Dr.

Henry Green, a physician of Albany, 8th day orMay824, and was ordained to the Ministry, in the Protestant Episcopal Church, in Williamsburg, by Bishop Johns, in February 1851. Mr. Green has for some years been an invalid, and has at last yielded to the power of that fell destroyer, which carries so many of the most amiable, gifted and promising to an early grave-Pulmonary Consumption. His friends, in common with himself, have long anticipated a fatal result, though few expected it quite so soon. For several months past, however, his health had Jerceptibly declined, and scarcely any looked orward to hisiving longer than the termination of Spring a season always so trying to persons in his condition.

On Wednesday the 23d he was attacked with a slight hemorrage, but it did not seem to be followed by the usually -exhausting effects. On the contrary it was thought for a day or two he would soon be up again but on-Saturday and Sunday there was an evident change for the worse. On Sunday night he failed so rapidly, that the writer was called to. his bed-side to take a final leave of him it was thought he could scarcely survive the passing hour but as the day advanced he gradually rallied, and entered, to all appearance, with clear perception and deep interest, into the religious services usual on such occasions. From, that time he continued to improve in a degree but- prising to all attending upon him, till a very short time before his death, when the little strength he had gathered suddenly gave way, and he fell asleep as gently, and apparently with almost as little suffering as we have ever seen any one pass from this suffering world.

Mr. Green was a most amiable and excellent man. To a mind clear, sprightly and intelligent, well disciplined by education, and trained from early years in christian plinciples and piety, he added a natural disposition of uncommon sweet- ness, and a gentleness of manner, that won the regard of all who intimately knew him. As a minister of ihe Church, he was in private highly respected and esteemed; his public services were acceptable and efficient. It is scarcely to be doubted that the zeal and self-devotion with which he pursued his work, and which never suffered him to leave anything undone that was in his power to do, contributed much to shorten his days.

As a christian, we believe him to have been conscientious and deeply pious we know him to have been consistent. Goodness, purity! and holiness beamed in his face, breathed in his conversation, and adorned his daily life. His -peace with God, through Christ, was perfect, his charity universal and entire his hope, as an anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast. In this doubtless for wise and benevolent purposes, it was the will of Him, who guides our wanderings and chastens our way, that he should suiter but we doubt not. the.

same i severe; yet merciful kindness has been the means of conducting him to that rest which knows no breakings and which his master went before to prepare for all who love and serve "There are mansions exempted, from sin and from woe, y-i But they stand in a region by mortals iui-J 'trod f- I'si'-t- There are rivers of peace, but they roll not be- 10W 4 -i-'l1 There is rest, bnt it dwells in the presence of God." TA-Si.
