(' F. & [From the People's Press.] THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The roaih-rs of the Press may perhaps feel an interest in the deliberations of the bemo-ocratie Convention, held in Winston, on .Sat-urday last, for tlie purpose ofnominating two candidates to represent this comity in the House of Commons of the next State Legis-lator*. J. .1. Martin, Esq., hawing previous-ly declared hinisell a candidate for the Sen-ate, on his own hook, doubtless front the con-viction that he was entitled to the honor on account of services heretofore rendered in be-half of Internal Improvements—and antici-pating a hearty approval of his Ibriner course, from the Ji'iiil-Jiuiiii Democrat* who would be in this Convention !! Jesse A. Waugh, Esq., was called to the Chair, when Joseph Hasten read resolutions approving of Democracy, A. M. Scales' action in Congress, (but said nothing about the great speech the Sentinel promised,) Gov. Bragg's Administration, An., &C.,—also en-dorsing the platform and resolutions of the Democratic State Convention. Mr. Masten hoped there would be a free interchange of opinion on these resolutions, in order that they might reflect the wishes of the entire meeting. Then Col. Henry Marshall, in a speech of great power and eloquence, addressed the meeting, rapidly glancing in review the pres-ent and pant condition of the State, and warn-ing the Democratic party against departing from the faith of their fathers, on the sub-ject of Internal Improvements, declaring that this extravagant system of Rail-Roads now advocated by many, would prove the ruin of the State unless speedily cheeked. Through ut present no aspirant for Legis-lative honors, yet be had for several years past, represented the people of this county in the House of Commons, towards whom he should ever feel grateful. While in the Legislature, in common with either Demo-crats, he took a stand against reckless schemes of internal improvements. He op-posed the purchase by the State of the Ral-eigh and Oiastoii Railroad, which had pro-ved to be a great loss and reduced to poverty many of her most wealthy and siihtantial citizens, who bad taken stock in it. He now raised his voice of warning, as he did then, against such reckless schemes as the Bntherfbrd Charlotte and Wilmington road | the Western Extetition to the Tennessee line, the tunneling of the Blue Ridge, and many other wild projects, the sure re-sult of which would be the involtuent of the State invast irremediable indebtedness and oppressive taxation on her people with-out the shadow of a hope of these roads paying one dollar into the Treasuiy for the million of her out lays. rVhen these vast ex-penditure had to be drawn from the pockets of the farmer and the mechanic, it was ttn-necesary for him to warn them to be watch* fuloftheirrights, and to be jealous of whom they entrusted with the power of imposing burthens upon themselves which they would enure to the advantage of a few favor-ed ones, to the impoverishment of the many,— burthens to bo borne by posterity who bad no hand in imposing them. lie was against all such appropriations, and in favor of pay-ing as we go. If he should live to the ago of the venerable Chairman of this meeting, (loud applause) he hoped still to see the State prosperous, and our citizens saved from such grinding oppressive taxes as are weighing down the neckt of the people of Virginia in paying the interest of her State debt contracted lor wild schemes of Inter-nal Improvements. In conclusion, he hoped the meeting would be harmonious,—-that the right kind of men would be selected to guard and protect the interests of the peopleof rorsythcoiuity,such men as would command the support and confi-dence of himself, and the entire Democrats party, as it had always heretofore, done. We have given but a faint sketch of the vei-v able speech of Col. Marshall, and would be glad to see it in print, written out by himself, so that full justice might be meted out to him. We have always looked upon Col. Marshall as an independent politicaln, and a conservative Democrat, not afraid to express his sentiments freely and fearlessly. Mr. Francis Fries was then called out. He arose and defended the Stale in buying in Raleigh and Uaston Railroad. It was State. 8960,000, and had made a mortgage to secure the debt. There was an other means to make the debt except by a sale and purchase of the road by the State and the Legislature entrusted Gov. Graham to close the mortgage and bid for the road to the amount of'the debt. He became the purhaser of the rood for the State, which cost originally $1,500,000. -Mr. Fries appro-ved of the acts of the Govcnor and the Leg-islature, it was managed in the same way that a prudent man. who had no other means of milking a debt, manage bis own matters. This was absolutely necessary : For if the State had not been authorized to bid, then the competition would have been among pri-vate individuals alone, but few of whom could command the means to have paid one-fourth of the debt, and thereby the State would have been chisseled out of her debt. It is good -lock, now paying the State six lutiotis in the Democratic State Convention of CO gnus, and 10 guns, and 10 of 40 gnns; at Charlotte, and approved of an stood upon ' 8 corvettes of 30 guns, 1'2 of 24 gnns; 30 that platform, and lie did not consider any | brigs of 20 guns, 10 corvettes'of 10 guns, 20 man a Democrat who did not fully approve brigs of 10 guns, 10 brigantines of 4 gnns, of them, as well on Internal Improvements guns, schooners of 6 to 10 guns 40 vessels as on other questions. of 4 guns' 40 steamers of 250 horse-power Ho was for the State giving aid to a Rsvil and under, 20 corvettes of 800 tons, 30 trans-road from High Point to this place, and for ports of 3*0 tons, 3 steams frigates of 540 other proper works ofInternal Improvement*} JUMPS* *■''••"• * '• ■ † V I' i Graham \ Co., Marion <'. percent on her investment, &5c., ».«■. it-.- Mil ton x Co..

Mr. Stafford remarked, he would IK? glad to hear Mr. Fries' views on Buchanan's ad-ministration, and upon the policy of the Dem-ocratic party generally. Mr. Fries said he had been a Whig up to ; six organ ipn in the State at large. He was not for wild and reckless schemes involving the State in ruinous indebtedness. He believed the fears of Col. Marshall on this subject were imagi-nary, and trusted that this meeting would nominate men with sufficient capacity of mind to act with prudence and judgment on any and every measure which may be brought before the Legislature. Mr. John Masten submitted a few remarks from which we could not infer whether he was for the State giving aid or not to the High Point and Salem Road. Then on motion, the delegates from each Captain's District retired, and in a few min-utes returned, casting one vote each, when it appeared that John Masten bad H votes, Fr. Fries S, Col. Marshall 2; and John K. Clayton 1. Whereupon the Chair announ-ced Masten and Fries the nomnecs, who were respectively called upon for speeches. John Masten arose with great gravity and consciousness of the weight and responsibili-ty resting on his shoulders, as a law giver for a free and independent people. Said he approved of the Democratic principles and Buchanan's administration ; that his feelings were such that he could hardly give utter-ance to the grateful emotions of his heart, and the love he felt for his confiding consti-tuents, who had twice honored him as their choice, for a seat in the Legislature. Though elected, two years ago, by the biggest vote ever polled in this county, lor the House of Commons, little did he then suppose that he could pursue a course to meet with the ap-proval of all. He had beard no objection to his course. He then opposed the State giv-ing aid to any works of Internal Improve-ments even in a Railroad from High Point to Salem. In so doing, he only obeyed the instructions ofthe party nominating him, for they then adopted Resolutions expressly against the State giving aid. He thought it better for the people of Forsyth to build this road themselves than to ask aid, and go into a system of log rolling which would involve them with heavy taxes to aid in building other roads in other parts of the Slate. He was often approached by members, to come forward and aid them" in their log-rolling bills, but he uniformly refused, saying to them that every bill should stand on its own mer-its, and he was In principle opposed to giving State aid to Railroads. His opposition was so stronir against those schemes, that he was called the "Guard ofthe Treasury." What a pity that Mr. Masten was not a member of the Legislature two years previ-ous to that time, which chartered the W il-mingtou and Rutherford road, and the Wes-tern Extension, measures that have now and will involve the State to the amount of at least six millions of dollars; No doubt if he had been there he Mould have placed his back to the door of the Treasury, and with bis fierce look and defiant air kept at bay his brother Democrats who then plundered the Treasury. Mr. Masten said he felt happy in having his course on Railroads endorsed by this nomination, and, if elected, be should pursue again the same course. But. if the State was to be utterly ruined in building Railroads, he exclaimed, he would grab one hand, yes both, into the Treasury, and get a sJMKK of the plunder. He had met the foe two years ago, and laid him low ; he supposed there would be now no opposition. Hut he threw down the gauntlet and defied all opposition, particular-ly, the writer oi'au article in the late Lexing-ton Flag, who, two years ago, foully slander-ed the pure and patriotic Democrats of the Western part of this county, with giving some one or two hundred fraudulent votes. His blood boiled with indignation when he thought ofthe charge '. With fire in his eye, and freedom on his brow, ami a defiant air, he challenged the calumniators to meet him before an outraged and indignant constituen-cy,— ho would moat certainly demolish him! He then took up the subject of the Distri-bution of the Public Lands, and with elo-quence of a Clay and the logic of a Webster, he demonstrated its uiuonstiliitionality ! and said one Ducan Mcliae, (a Democrat) had staked his election for Governor on it. Four years ago, he denounced Distribution as un-constutional. Xow, he said, he bail recently discovered, while looking in the shallows of Wilmington harbor, that it was constitution-al and right ! The Constitution has not been changed in four years; if he is right now, he was wrong then", and if right then, wrong now. Therefore Distribution Is unconstitu-a" Tl poi which we have not time to notice. Air. Fries said, he accepted the nomination, little expecting such an honor and distinc-tion among the many able men who had formerly represented the country. That he did not proless to l>e a great orator, and should not undertake to inflict a speech upon the meeting, but. at a more suitable time, be-tween now and the election, he would give the people his views on such questions M State policy as may come before the next Legislature for action. That all he should now say, was that if elected, he would dis-charge the duties ofhis office to the best of his skill and ability, lor the good of his own county, and of ther whole State. re- X power, and one of il20; t> corvettes of 220 horse-power, and 33 steamer of 100, horse-power and less; making in all 353 vessels of all carrying al>oiit 10,000 gnns.— The annual budget of the Navy Department for ten years, from 1*16 to 1*50, has ranged from 820,000,000. That for 1857 was 820,- 000,000.—Richmond Whi.j. SPEECH OP HON. JOHN KERB, OF XORTH CAItor.INA, Delivered in the JInmr of RrprrXi'ntatim, Marth, Sth, 1854, on llif Mimifiula Land Mil. Mr. Kerr did not agree either with the gentleman from Ohio, [Mr. Campbell,] who addressed the committeo yesterday after-noon, or with that honorable member from Virginia, [Mr. Bayly,] who has just conclud-ed his remarks. He differed in Mo caio, from '.ho gentleman from Virginia, if lie cor-rectly understood the position he had assum-ed, lie [Mr. K.] believed in the power of Government to make appropriations, either of money or of lands, for works of internal improvements. He believed that the Gov-ernment had the right, if it chose to exercise it, to appropriate the revenue collected from any and all quarters for such works of in-ternal improvements as it might deem calcu-lated to develop the resources of the country, and stregthen the bonds of our Union or promote tie general prosperity. In his opinion the Government has the right to donate these lands to railroad companies, to States, literary institutions, or to any other parties, when, in the judgment of Congress, such grants would be the means of promoting the general prosperity of the country. All this power on the part of Congress he at once conceded. He had always maintained it; he belonged to a party in this country that had ever insisted anon it. Moreover, they had not only insisted on this power, but had maintained the right of Congress to exercise it; and many years ago their great leader, the illustrious Statesman from Ken-tucky, whose genius was manifested by man'v of the best and noblest works of in-ternal improvements that hod ever been es-tablished in this country, proposed a plan for the management and disposition of the public domain, which, had it been acquiesced in, would have prevented the wasteful dis-position which had since been made of them. Mr. ('lay proposed to distribute these lands among the various States of the Confedera-cy, according to their Federal population, giving to the new States in winch they were situated fifteen pet centum upon the amounts derived from their sale. The party to which he belonged insisted upOU this sys-tem years ago; but they were met by a stand nmeb higher than any oilier Repre sentative from this State has been able to at-tain after many years service in Congress; and this fact excites the envy of his political opponents—and then they hate bun because he differs from them in politics—Gilmer is an American Whig—Gilmer's talents are gain-ing too great a National reputation, and he must be put down. Mr. Shaw was no doubt selected as the instrument or cat's paw to do it. And hence, wo find Mr. Shaw reply-ing to Mr. Gilmer's Kansas speech, in very eensorious terms, and representing that Gid-dings took Gilmer by the hand and congrat-ulated him on hi*. Kausas speech. In vain did Giddings and others deny it. In vain does Gilmer deny it 1 Shaw & Co., mint it to appear so, and so they will have it, in spite of Gilmer's denial and in spite of any amount of the most pjMftive proof of the falsity of the charge. We have not time nor space TO give full details, but suffice it Gilmer replied to this speech calmly, and used Shaw up. Writhing and smarting under the lash, and fully aware that Gilmer belongs to the Church, and therefore, dare not fight a duel, Shaw comes at. him with private notes de-manding explanation—Gilmer explains, and Shaw professes satisfaction. Here the cor-respondence ceased, A few days after, how-ever; Shaw replied to Gilmer's rejoinder, and this reply is replete with billingsgate and fish-market sarettsm, .which take the pfakee of dignified argument. In this speech, aware of Mr. Gi'mcr being a professed Chris-tian, the gentleman plays the Hector, and talks pugnaciously. Presuming that he is anxious for a fight, we beg leave to refer him to that little Kditor down East, in the swamps of this State, whom he undertook to whip, a summer or two ago. Should he prove as unfortunate as be did on that occa-sion, we hope his friends will be a little more select in his hiding quarters. We are glad to sec that Mr. (itinier, in his sur-rejoinder, paid but little notice to the coarse personalities of his colleague. We believe Shaw is a Yankee, and the idea of a Yankee coming here and charging men like Gilmer with n want of Sonthern loyalty, is as presumptions as it is ridiouloud and en-surd.— Milton <'hrotude.

LiMTORs: I am ananj? you are lb.id of the good things of this land. I thought it would not be improper to call your attention to one of the improvements going on near our town. A few evenings since I look a ride out.with i.iy wife and babies, (I mention wife and babies from the fact that you both are gentlemen uf families and realize the enjoyment o* pappa and mamma;) our ride was not directed to any particular place, until we got under-way, we concluded to visit the Nursery and Floor Garden of our friend, Thomas- II. Fentress, who. lives one mile from this place. I saw what was on hand and the improvements he had made. Wefound Mr. Fentress anil Lady at home, and with their usual hospitality to visitors, wc found it one of the most pleasant visits we ever made. A last? of his cool well-water, a walk through hie Flower Gar-den and to see the fine collection of flowers, in good taste, and then to his ore utrd eontain-taing such a fine variety of early Apples, Peaches, Plumbs, Nectarines and his large assortment of Apricots, which are now ripe, and as fine as we ever saw. Mr. Fentress is now making preparations to send off large quantities of fruit to a distant market.

The government was but the trustee for the benefit of all the Suites; and if, in dis-tributing these lands, discriminations were made, manifest injustice gross wrong, would be done those States to whose prejudice such discriminations were made. They who lived in the South or any other portion of the I'nion in which Public Lands did not exist, were as much entitled to a fair share of this common property as those who resided in those States in which such lands were situa-ted.

On the contrary, whenever be could see manifested here "a purpose to do justice to his section of the country, do justice to the old States, he would go with the most ardent advocate of these schemes for internal im-provement in the West, if they should be sustained by sound reasons.

Enrrons: Thinking that some, at least, Of your readers might not unwillingly turn aside from the accounts if the discus-sions and Wrangling* ofthe two distinguish-ed gentlemen who are before the people of this State for Gubernatorial honors, to the pe-rusal of a short letter from the Journal of the " Mountain Jotirists " he lias dared thus to intrude himself upon you. Perhaps, your readers, before perusing his dottings by the way, would like to know who these Tourists are, and whence they set out. Last week, three of them met in the antique town of Salem to prepare for their journey-ings. A grand council was called to devise ways and means for the tour,and to set apart to each his respective duties. Charlie Bryce, who is tall, graceful, and soldierly-looking, was chosen captain of Ih.-Toiii ists ; Hathmor Banks, who is well skilled in financial mat-ters, Treasurer; Uncle .la.qti-s James, who is a Franeoni on horseback, and more than a Jehu in swift and correct driving, Baggage-masterand Conductor ofthe train; and your humble writer, Harry Hall,.!, nrnalist. Pol-itics, business, gain, in a worl, every thing will be scorned by vhe.n, except that which is conducive to pleasure and to physical and mental improvement. Their's— " are the plans of lair delightful peace, UnwarpM by party rag* -o live like>brotbern." To this end, their preparation of the good tliimjs of the world was full and complete.— A neat and comfortable carriage, drawn by a pair of fine, mettlesome matches, takes the lead, carrying the Captain and the Journal-ist; next is the Treasurer in a covered bug-gy, drawn by OIK- ofthe most brisk and spir-iti. l chargers that ever pawed the earth ; and, in the rear, is the baggage wagon, drawn by a mule that never kicks no.-l alks, under the skilful management of ruck- Jacques, the grand Conductor, of the contents of the latter, your writer will not speak. SnlHec it to say, the articles were selected with great care, and it is well laden. Twelve o'clock on Saturday, found the Captain, baggage-master, Journalist and ser-vant on the high road leading from Salem to Wilkesboroug'.i. To their right, they could. occasionally, catch beautiful glimpses ofthe Saina Town chain and the Pilot Mountain. The country over which they passed, differs but little from your own, with the exception that it is somewhat more hilly. Clouds were in the sky when thev - tirted, and long be-rouial possessions in England whic i have been so graphically descrioed by Sir Walter Scott in his brilliant stories of the old* n time The forest of oak, pine, cedar and el estnut. formed a completo circle, leaving an open space of abont ten acres, in iho itUdet oi which is the Mansion, a neat and ami ptnted-looking building, which was commenced be-fore the Hevolution and finished a UT its clone, almost entirely hid from view by wid. - branched ouks which " fling their kharled arms over a thick carpet of tho most djelioious greensward.-' On your left, as you approach the Mansion from the large gate of tjhc out-side unclosiire, is a meadow of tall, waving irrass, and on your right is a lovely 'flower-garden, with " shrubbery which Sh mstono might have envied," environed by a beautiful Juni|.er-hedge. No one who has ever r>md Milton's Paradise Lost, can look ujou tin* lK?aittif'ttlly arranged garden without being reminded of tho charming garden of Kden . which his strong imagination so rich y bodi-ed forth in that immortal poem. In a few moments, the Train was before the gate ol the inside enclosure, wlere the company was met with a hearty greeting, and welcomed to the spacious receprive hall of that noble -4d Mansion. Every tl ing was there which can make the heart of the \ isi-tor s»l*d and his mind contented, lbe I ost and hostess ure the embodiment of tl at hfip-py medium, which can make the saddest face brighten with pleasure and the heaviest heart leap for joy. Their motto indeed seems to b#* the one laid down by Burns in these line?.: " l^t rwudvnfe bleu enjoyment'* cup, lii.:. raptured lip, anil sip il up." Uf the charming hostess laugnagcttii give yum no conception. To know her, you mu't see her—to see her is to love her. Her soul is " generous and wild, like the hour of tfc* setting sun." Of his sons, the writ-r needs only say, they arc worthy of their s.ro ; and of his two nieces, they are sweetoliva-pl nU. without whom the MaitMion-hoine votild be less sunny, and heart-some and delightful. Our witty, companionable ami closi-ob-serving baggage master, Uncle Jacques fash-ionable called Jumrs and classically, Jaiibus, who has seen much ofthe genuine nosoitali-ty ofthe Old World as well as of the New. frankly confesses that ho has seer, no one who can be compared in this res|v.t to St Nicholas. Truly, he is a man without a mod el, and his Mansion, a home without a -upe rior. He is a gentleman of libera) scholar-ship and extensive reading, one of the best farmers in his country, knows better b< w to press what Byron calls tnc " spriitg-dew of the spirit" from the corn, the e^pt" the pea. li, the rye and the grape, than 'tut Ubet in the State, and better how to sui..
