And your committee re mend that the said central committee be authorized, on the part of the whigs of North Carolina, to un the whigs of other States in selecting a suitable date for the office of Vice-President, or to call a conven. tion of the whigs of the State to be held atsuch ti place as they. may deem expedient for that purpy a well as for promoting the success of the whig cause in the coming elections, Should this plan for general and local organization meet the approhation of the convention, and be fully car- ried out inaction by our friends, no rational doubt can exist of our mphant success in Nerth Carolina. No reflecting whig ean want motives for using his best ef forts to bring about this result. Let each one remember that on tue next legislature will devolve the election of a United States Senator and the edjustment of our Con- ressional and State Senatorial Districts, measures which will affect the political character of the State for yearsto come.

Above ali let him remember that the political privileges with which ind Providence has Wiemet in, bring with themcor respondi obligations and for the fidelity with which he impreves them to the eccomplishment of just and hon- orable purposes he is responsitle net only to his country but his God. In conclusion, your committee reeommend the adop- tion ofthe resolutions which accompany this report. Resolved by the whigs of North Carolina, in Conven tion assembled, That the death of William He Harri son was on event deeply to be lamented by every friend of his country—and that subsequent nts have taught us to regard it as the greatest calamity that has befallen the nation. sph Resolved, That the great whig principles for which the contest of 1840 was waged and won, are asdearto us now as then; and that neither the desertion and treachery of suppored friends, nor the taunts and opposition of known and opea adversaries, shill depress (he energy or cool the ardor of ovr efforts to promote and perpetuate those principles as the best safeguard of our country and the best inneritance of our children. : And whereas, John Tyler, the present President of the United States, ‘was nominated by the National Whig Convention which met at Harrisburg, in December, 1839, asthe whig candidate for the office of Vice President, and accepted the Said nomination, and was by the exer- tions and support of the whigs of the United States, elect» ed to that office :— Resolved, That when by the desth of William Henry Harrison, he succeeded to the first Magistracy, he was bonnd by every consideration affecting the integrity of inistration the great princi: lected. r, instead of thus dis- so devolved upon y charging the duties of the high offi him, Piet ienoicoed tha principles and abandoned the party which brought him into power; whilst by adopting the measures and wooing the support of a party, lately the object of his declared opposition and distrust,and by scarce diset acy in the application of the pa- tronage of t ent, he has attempted, and is at- tempting, with utter disregard of dignity and duty, to buy up 4 party, and thus secure to himselfa re-election; Therefore, Resolved, That this Convention disavows all political connexion with and support of the said John Tyler; ap- provesthe proceedings and Address of the Whig Mem- ers of Congressat the close of the late oxtra ses: d hold the whig party discharged from all responsibility for the conduct of public affairs whilst controlled by the present administration. Reselved, That HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky, by emi- nent abilities, extensive knowledge, sound judgment, lib- eral and patriotic views, and by long, arduous and un- sparing devotion to the service of his country, has en- titled himself to the undivided confidence and sup; the people of the United States—and that he pos the fics place in the affections of the whole whig party te; and th ention do for themselves,and whigs of Ni arolina, propose and nominate the said HENRY CLAY for the next President of the United States, and do pledge themselves to give the nomination a hearty and persevering support. And this Convention does earnestly and respectful y urge the whig party of the Union to unite with their brethren of North Caroli- ua in this nomination, and in steady and constant efforts to wromote its success. Resolved, That the law paseed at the last session of Congress for distributing among the States the proceeds of the public lands, is a wise and just law. founded upon the uxquestdonable right of the States, resulted from the acts and dends of cession, and was in no sense a gratui. tous donation. That Congress have no moral right to re- peal the same,and that the late Message of the President of the}Vnited States, urging that body to said repeal, de- serves decided reprobation. And the Legisiature of North Carolina having, in the name and on the part of the good people of the State, re- peatedly declared the right of the States to the public jomain, condomned every attempt to dispose of that do- main inconsistent with that right, and called upon her Senators and Representatives to urge her claims to her portion thereof, andthe funds justly her own, according to her interests in the public lands being needed, (be: sides other wise and good ends,) for dev aleptag her re. sources and diffusing among the poor children of her population the blessings of moral and intelleetual culti- vation, Resolved, That the people of the State should not, and iv the opinion of this Coavention, will not consent to have the said funds withdrawn from them, and will re- gard ony of her members of Congress who, after her claim has been acknowledged, and provision made by tits faction, may support such with- garding the plain interests, violating the nil sacrificing the just rights ofthe people. as di declared wil!

New York, Wednesday, April 13, 184: Important Movement in North Carol! Nomination of Henry Clay and John Ty- ler as the Rival Candidates for the next Presidency, We have just received intelligence of a highly important movement, started by a Convention of Philosophers, inthe state of North Carolina, that will givea decided direction to political events for the next two years or more. It is the official nomina- tion of Heary Clay and John Tyler, as the rival and opposing candidates for the next presidency. The official Address and Resolutions, promulgated by this Committee we give exclusively, we believe, in this day’s paper. This movement is highly important in its character and results. Itwill soon be followed up by other States—and probably by Virginia and New York, among the first on the list- The nominations for the next presidency by National Conventions will, there- fore, be entirely superseded and nugatory. Ia ano- ther aspect the Raleigh Convention has taken a very original course. Tey have net alone nomina- ted their own candidate, but they have also nomina- ted their opponent, thereby killing two birds with one stone. There isa great deal of labor-saving in this prompt and comprehensive policy. They set up the name of John Tyler, the reigning President,only to knock him down with that ef Henry Clay. In this movement the Convention has anticipated the ac tion of the other portion of the people, for itis very evident, that, judging from the course of the loco- foces in Congress, from the recent elections in the States—from the developements of public feeling in New York, and from other lage cities—there is a very rapid approximation between Captain John Tyler and all those floating elements which are op- posed to Henry Clay and the whig party. A new organization of parties has been heaving and fer- menting, and generating ever since the accession of Captain Tyler, and in this imperial city of New York, one of them has already assumed the name of “Patriots,” and intend to garry the scheme out to its fullest extent. The nomination of Henry Clay and John Tyler as rival candidates, by the North Carolina Convention, only accelerates the period when the whole country will be devided into twe political camps, the one to be called the whigs, with Clay for their candidate— and the other the Patriots, with Captain Tyler at their head. But this is not all. The principles and measures of each of these movements, are not less marked and distinct. The Whigs are in favor of an old fashioned Bank of the United States—of a distri- bution of the proceeds of the public lands to the States—of an issue of a national stock of seme kind totake the place of, and pay up the debts of the repudiating States—of a protective tariff and high revenue. Those opposed to the Whigs are equally Opposed to these measures, and confine their sup- port toa limited revenue—an exchequer issue of some kind on the dollar-for-dollar principle, and the leaving the States to take oare of their own credit bY direct taxation, as New York has justdone. There is also another important difference, on the use of the veto power, including some minor morali the distribution ef offices. Oa the foreign policy of the country, the two patties seem to be identical. On the whole this programme of operations, pre- sented by the philosopkica! statesmen of North Ca- rolina, seems to make up as pretty and as _intelligi- ble an issue as could be desired. Every important point of difference js distinct and tangible. Both parties,whig and patriot, are republicans—so are both the candidates, Henry Clay and John T'yler,but they differ widely on certain fiaancial and politico-com- mercial doctrines, and they appeal to the whole country to decide between them. There is no hickory nut—hard cider—coon-skin—log cabin or any other humbug inthe question. For the first time in many years, the next presidency must be contested on the principles of common sense. We thus present the two parties and their candi- dates, but we wash our hands of all committals or compromise for either. We are independent in thought, purse, action, and person—and we shall see justice done between the two parties,but shall be the partizans of none. Errata —We are requested by Col. Hamilton to’ say that in his letter to the President published yesterday, “governing” should be read for ‘ grow. ing.”” No great mistake—no errors now a days are corrected. If aman uses a wrong word, or runs away to Cape de Verd with $30,000, he lets it stand asit is. Ox Dir —Wonders will never cease. Among the signs of the approaching millenium is that of the contemplated change in the profession of one of our great tragedians, who, report says, is about to com- mence the study of Theology. What foundation there is for this report we know not, but it is certain that he has recently received numerous visits from pious Iadies and gentlemen while seated on the anxious bench. Can any of our readers give us an account of the musical soiree recently held at his house, in 22d street, at which theological professors, students, and many other devout persons were present? We would be happy to obtain some account of this affair, which it is said was asplendid and judicious combination of refinement, elegance and piety. Hien Lerren Postace —The average cost of con- veying letters in the West ladia mail steamers,is as- certained to be about one thousand dollars per letter ! This of course does not come out of the writers of the letters, nor the receivers thereof, but out of the Lnglish government. These steamers are run ata great expense, each being manned by eighty men, and consuming about thirty tons of coal a day. If, after this great outlay, they no dot carry more than one letter each trip from Tortola to St. Croix, as was the case with the last mail steamer thence, we shall think that the steamers either belong oatright to the British government, and were built to hover hear our coast, or that the “ Steamship Company’ is composed of a very philanthropic and public spi- rited set of men, to carry letters for other people at an expense of one thousand dollars each. Mexican Navy —It is said that St. Ana has pur- chased two steamers in England, manned and arm- ed for fight, in addition to the City of Dublin steam- er lying at Vera Croz. Two corvets are also about to pass under the Mexican flag, and he has also one schooner built in this city. It is possible, therefore, that St. Ana’s vessels may outnumber Houston’s— and being manned by Englishmen, will probably show some fight fer supremacy in the Gulf. New Yor any Atnayy Rare Roap.—Atter a violeat opposition, both in the Senate and Assembly, from the central power of Albany, this important and valuable charter has been preserved. ‘The time for the completion of the road has been extended, and the rights of the company, in Westchester and other counties, fully recognized and confirmed. After all the epposition of Albasy, she could only muster four votes in the Senate and seven in the As- sembly to go against this important road. We understand that we are indebted to “ Little Troy" for defeating the various project to defeat and delay a work that isso important to us, and at a period too, when we find our eastern neighbors pro- pose to carry a barrel of flour over their Western Rail Road 200 miles for 82 cents Miss Cruanewpox —This beautiful young artist gives another series of her Readings and Recita- tions, at tne Society Library Reoms, to-morrow evening.

She intends to imitate the style of each of those writers—and bring forth all their peculiar points. It will be a rich treat. Sream Bargve Cranton.—The hull of this steam- er is a total loss; but the engine may be saved, RESULT OF THE ELECTION, GREAT TRIUMPH OF THE PATRIOT CAUSE, The Abolitionists Beat Down, ROBERT H. MORRIS, MAYOR OF NEW YORK. We have the supreme felicity to congratulate the country on the complete triumph of the Patriot cause in this Imperial city. After an organization of only three natural days and nights, the Patriots have swept the eld Abolition party far behind, and have driven the whigs and locofocos as far ahead. Robert H. Morris is elected Mayor by a majority of proba- bly 2¢CO |= Mr Phoonix—but what is this to be compared to the moral and physical victory which the Patriots have gained over the Abolitionists? We could not ascertain last evening the exact vote of either, but as far as we did leam, it is proba" ble that the Patriots received 350 votes and the Abo. litionists only 299-giving a clear majority of 51 to the Patriot cause. After this who will put any confidence in the ly- ing estimates of the Wall street press. ‘Col. Webb ot the regular army ” estimated the Patriots in this city at 25 strong, being nearly four times as many a8 the “Corporal’s Guard” in Washington. Instead of 25, the Patriots claim 350 that came up to the seratch, besides many thousands that might have come. The corporation is carried by the locofoc.s as usual—and as usual the whigs are utterly demo- lished. Thus we go. Letthe Patriots now go to work and organize for the fall election. The raw materi- als were never in better trim to create a new party- Organize—organize. Leta ‘‘ Corporal’s guard’’ and a ‘*Captain’s company” be increased until it reach the size of the “‘grand army,” ready to go into the campaign of 1812. New York City Election, Mojorities for Morris.

They have elected their Mayor by e majority of 153 votes; and have five and probably seven out of the nine wards. Last year the whigs had the city by a large majority. Jersey Ciry.—It is said that the lottery candidate for mayor has succeeded in this mighty little place, by a majority of 18. The devil always takes cere of his own. Tue On.xa-Hy-E.—This beautiful yacht has ar- rived at St. Croix in eight days passage from Phila- delphia. She has proved herself a very fast eailer, going twelve and a half knots off the reel. She could have been driven fifteen knots. City Intelligence, Exectron Riors.—During yesterday afternoon and evening the Sixth Ward was the scene of riot, fun, fury androwdyism. A band of men, armed with bludgeons, paraded through the Ward, dealing destruction on all who felt disposed to doubt that James Ferris was “the regularly” nominated candidate for Alderman. The Sixth Ward Hotel was turned inside out. Bishop Hughes’ premises were assailed, and other dwellings in the Ward more or less injured by stones and brickbats. The military were ordered out about 9 o’clock in the evening andtheir presence alone saved the Cathedral and other churches of the Catholics from being destroy- ed by this mob. Fifty-six of the rioters were arrested up to 12 o’clock last night, when our paper went to press. The military are still parading the streets, and no doubt other arrests will be made before morning. Tue Exrotion.—The whigs have carried the First, Second, Tird, Fifth, Sixth, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Fif. teenth and Sixteenth Wards, for Aldermen. The demo- crats the Fourth, Seventh, Kighth, Ninth, Tenth, Ele- venth, Thirteenth and Seventeenth. Owlng to the nu- merous ticketsrun in the several Wards we have been unable to ascertain the corrrct vote at the early hour that it was necessary to put the Merald to press. Suiti- cient is known,however, for usto state that Robert H. Morris (democratic) is elected mayor by about 2000 ma- jority, and the w have secured a majority in the Common Council. Diceine ur THE DRAD —Whenthe ladies were in- formed of the danger of the dead in the B.

They heve, al- though adverse to their inclination and public opinion, attended several meetings at the Park expressly to retain the interred dead in their graves. They have visited or watched over the Bethe] Baptist burying yard by night and by day, erpeci. ally siace they heard that the Hudson Fire Insu- rance Company had threatened to remove all the remains from said burying pee as it must be ad- mitted by all that some of the most unbeard of things were said to come from some of the office; of said pesoreneeS body. When their agent came on the ground with men, spades and shovels, with other implements of war against the werhig 6. the dead, professing to have a strong power from the Upper and Lower Foliceto back him up, it was the Ladies who over-powered and overawed t! wonderful agent with his men of war, and ma them quit the battle field, when the dead were in- terred, and this without shedding a drop of human gore. When it was ascertained that some sacriligious hands were disturbing the dead in the Rutgers street burial place, the women were the first to hasten tothe spot and drive Johnson and oth from their work.§Without giving more particulars, it may be observed that the impression on the pub- mind has been greatly favorable to the Jadies views. Also, the Honorable Common Council, His Honor the Mayor, Alderman pla i &e. have acted nobly in this cause in favor of the just rights of the living and the dead. In other respects the ladies have to regret that their efforts have been little effectual, as no law has been pa:sed by the Legislature to protect the dead; therefore they propo: d offer, to carry this bu- siness fally out and protect all the cead, and pre- vent themafrom being dug they have been for the last thirty years, andthat by obtaining a law from the Legislature against removing the dead. 1. By ob: ig 2 law from the Legislature against removing the dead. 2 By paying off all just claims against said Bethel Baptist burial place, when they or a suitable tribunal are satisfied of the justice of said claim. 3. By placing a suitable fence around said buri pest aving it grassed and otherwise appropriate: ly defended and adorned. _ All this and more they prefer to do if aided by a liberal public, which ‘they confidently expect. Whereas the riches of the city mostly concentrate down town, meetings in the Park @ been propo- sed, with the hope of obtaining liberal subscrip- tions and donations. N. B. A meeting isto be held in the Park this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, to consider on the subject. Cwatnast on American Tuxatae —Nothwith- standing the excitement of the election, this popu- lar place of amusement was crowded to excess, and the performances were attended with their usual success. Master Wood's performance of the Sai- lor’s Hornpipe did him great credit. We perceive Thorne snnounces a re-engagement, fora limited number of nights, with that tavorite of the “Bowery boys,” Mr. Kirby, who appears to night in Damon, supported by Thome as Pythias, with Mra. Thorne as Hermion, and Mss Mestayer as Calanthe—an im- mense caste. In addition to which, Master Wood appears in a favorite dance, with other entertain- ments, Coxann’s Steamsnirs —The steamship Unicorn arrived at Halifax, onthe 4th inst. in thi i hours from Boston, and the steamer Columbia, rig. aed forward like a ship, leftat 5 P.

No festivals bless m ; Aman holding his office under an administration, ile: has no positive justification, for publicly abusing the executive officers, and certainly has no right to complain for being removed for such conduct, though he may have held office a long time, and done his duty. His private opinion, if kept to him- self, he can indulge in, but if he goes further, it is athis own risk. I don’t know what the man may heve said or done, buthe Las himself to blame for the loss of his office. It is one of the established articles of war, that no officer shall speak disrespectfully of the Executive, and it equally applies, in spirit, to the civil officers of government. And now for the attacks on Mr Webster. It seems to have become very fashionable of late, among clerks and others, taking their cue from the Globe and other prints, to abuse in open terms, the Secretary of State. They can continue to do so, at their own peril. The movement against Mr. Webster, by certain cliques and their organs, will have the opposite effect of destroying Mr. Webster with the President, and driving him trom the cabi- net. So long ashe is amember of the cabinet, the President willsustain him, and every attack com- ing from friends or opponents of the President, pives Mr. Webster new claims upon the President for his countenance ard his support. Itenab!es Mr. Web- ster tosay tohim “If you refuse to make that ap- pointment, orif you do make that appointment, it will be considered as evidence that I have no in- fluence in your cabinet, or as a proof clear, while 1am of yourcabinet and laboring for your reputa- tion, you are lending yourself to my personal ene- mies, who use your patronage to make war on my reputation.” Therefore Mr. Weoster’s enemies do more to strengthen him by those false attacks, than they could by praising him. Mr. Webster makes an uble Secretary of State, and is discharging his duty to the entire satisfaction of the President and the country. He may be labor img under temporary pecuniary difficulties, but it is the meanest mode of attack for an adversary to striks at and wound a public man on account of his private affairs. The prezent state of our foreign affairs requires the soundest head in the country at the head of the State Department, and all will acknowledge that Mr. Webster’s continuance there is is indispensable at present. The late attacks upon him enlist the sympathy of his friends, and beget friends of those who might be opposed to him. It is thought no troops will be ordered to Rhode Island, without a special requisition from the proper authorities there. No mirt!

Robert MSerren—The defendant is master of the ship Kalamazoo, (the vessel chosen by Colt last summer, in which to deposit the box containing the body of Samucl Adams,) and the plaintiff was a seoman on board of her. The present is an action for assault and battery, Oliver averring that the severely struck him one day while he at the 3 engaged in steering th el, on her recent voyage from fended re Captain M‘ The Loan Bill is still before the Senate, and an| suit Apt tit e srrnibition sttastans alee effort will be msde in that body, to tack on a re-| worthy of the yer. The counsel for plaintiff Is called a witaess to the stand, who testified to having seen the Captain pass him on the poop, and go into the wheel- house, soon after which he heard Oliver crying out murder, and saw the Captain striking him. This wit- ness underwent a strong and searching cross-examina- tion on the part of the Captain, who then called the Car- penter of the ship to the stand. He testified to being i the wheel-house when the Captain came in. The Capt. told Oliver that he had the shiptwo points eff the wind, and reproached him for inattention in steering when tl re #0 many passengers on board, and the pro- jions so short. He took the whee) away from him, and made him haul offhis mittens. Oliver then began cryingout murder. The Captein said, “what are you crying out murder for?—I hav’nt touched you.” He afterwards told plaintiff that he was acting in a manner to provoke him, and get one of those lawyers when they arrived in portto enter.an action against him at the Ma- rine Court. It was shown that the Captain isa t disciplinarian, but always does the best that is possible for his crew. In summing up, the Captain made a speech worthy of a Demosthenes. He was followed in amas terly manner by Mr. Beers for plaintiff, who made as- sertions which, did the Captain not feel that he was a lawyer for the time being, would certainly be followed by coffee and pistols for six. The eloquence and sin- cerity of the Captain prevailed, the Jury finding for de- fendant. ech of the Loan Bill—if that is done, the bill will be lost. The Appropriation Bill will take another week in the House, and the items for foreign missions wil! give rise to some warm debate and opposition. General Waddy Thompson has by this time ar- rived at Mexico, in the Ontario, sloop-of-war. His instructions are very positive—-to demand the imme- diate release of the American prisoners, and, in case of refusal, to return. OpsERvER. St. Loults, Missouri. (Correspondence of the Herald.)

The new boat, the Phoenix, which is re-built from the wreek of the Missouri, that burnt here some months since, will be finished in May.

One of our most popular captains, John F. Hunt, will command her. He was lately secretary of one of the ob | il surance companies, and thousands of Eastern folks who have travelled onthe Western waters, know him as a gentlemanly and experienced captain.

The stock market has been more heavy to-day, but prices have not generally varied much. Delaware and Hudson fell } per cent; Farmers’ Trust, }; Ilinois 6's improved 1 per cent; Ohio 6's 1; Long Island} ; Har- lem }; Mohawk }. Sales of United States 6 per cents payable in 1944, were made at 97, an improvement of 2 percent. Treasury notes were worse, selling at 1 a1} discount. New York State 5 per cent stocks are rapidly improving—they have risen 5 per cent within twenty days. United States Bank notes are in demand today. The Branch of the Union Bank of Louisiana, at The- bedeauville, has been robbed of $40,000. Bills of the Pascoog Bank, at Pascoag Village, R. I., are not received at the Suffolk Bank. At Baltimore the Railroad orders are quoted at 59 cents on the dollar, and Virginia money 8 to 14 per cent dis- count. The affairs of the Virginia banks are in a very desperate condition, and some of them may not be able to struggle on even until the time fixed by law for their re. turn to specte payments. The condition of the State treasury is a heavy burden upon the banks. Its obliga- tims are dishonored, and the only apparent means of pay. ing the interest on the State debt, is aloan authorized by the Legislature to the extent of $300,000 ; how the money is to be got under the circumstances it is diffizult to see state of things a Richmond paper aske—* Ie Vir- with a protested Treesury draft of $4, in @ condi- tion to refuse her quota of the land money?” We do not see that a little present pecuniary embarrassment is any reason why the“ Old Dominion” should compromise its highly chivalrous character and descend to“ robbing the exchequer” to raise m , instead of doing it in the legitimate way by taxati ‘Alabama is also in adreadful condition. The amount due by the State this year, and to be paid by the banks, is $1,100,000. The capital debt falling due is $811,000: of this about $230,000 has already been anticipated by the Huntsville and Decatur branches ; leaving about $600,000 10 be met, besides $564,009 interest exclusive of that on theflebt redeemed.

It is adead weight upon the market. There is in the act of uttering them no paper created at the maturity of which returns are made. Such @ state of things could not exist under specie payments. The banks must stop or the interest be paid from some ether source. The payments recently made in this city on eccount of the State, ran the rate of Alabama funds up to 30—they have now fallen back to 20. We have frequently had occasion to mention the man. ner in which the Merchants’ Bank of New Orleans was sold, thro the agency of those in charge of the Uni- ted States;Bank, to Edward Yorke, nephew of Lippin- cott, one of those through whose means the suits were brought against Mr. Biddle.
