Tll K DIM ussiort. According to previous appointment, Gov. RrsT.; and Jo!m A. Gilmer, Ei candi dates for the offioc of G tvernor, addressed the people of this county, on Saturday last. . The discussion took place in the beautiful g o of the Presbyterian Church, in this i'.i ". Mr. Gilmerinade the opening s; eech. Ho ; i the stand a! 11 o'clock, and spoke ; according to arrangement, two hours. Our limits will not allow ns to notice in retail the numerous subjects embraced in his Bpereb. It was a rare medley, made up ; chiefly of stale and exploded charges and calumnies asainet the Administration and the Democratic party. Education, the C ntrai Bail-Road, Paddy MeGowan, Know Kothingtsm, Gen. Washington, Free Suf fragc, Taxation, Federal Polities, Emigra tion of Foreigners, the Herbert homicide, Expense f Government, take 1 the V ...:: Lands, the Cincinnati Platform, Bui '. anan, the Expuugiug Resolution, Bank i t Law, the klechauics, Sandford'a Let' Icr, and the Missouri Compruaoise, formed the main topics of UU harangue. He argu- (I no qaestiua, but confined his remarks ahansl entirely to attacks against nt arly every thing and every body, txcepl Knniv Xothimgt. Tiio democrats and all others "Vt"l lo Dark Laaternism, were wicked nd Corrnpt. Sam and his party were the patriots the S'aaoa Pure's of the land! But, while denouncing others and their mca v.iit sof givcnnneiit.il policy, Mr. G. took particalar pains toeoaceal what be and his new party wi re in lavor of. He was oppos ed t- all the principles and measures o " hers, but aoald offer n panacea or plana tor the evils complained of. lie evidently halaaga ta the destructive and not the con servative party.

Mr. Gilmer came here with a high reputa tion as a popular orator, with all who, like (JursHve, had never heard him speak. He eat away more pitied than admired. His ech wa neither ablo or interesting. It tcktd dignity, was '-flat, stale, and unpro fitable," and altogether of a character to pressthe hearer with the belief that John Gilmer, though he may be a big fish in taa Know-Nothing pond, was never intend- 5 ed for the office of Governor of North AN INFAMOUS PROPOSITION Carolina.

Bragg n the stump. His effort lure must have bt'n mortifying to his friends and injurious I to the cause of Sam. Aiming to throw out ! charges enough to keep Gov. Bragg, in his reply, all the time on the defen.-ive, he was led into so many indiscreet and false posi- tions, that he was an easy prey of his adver- sary. .seldom uas any poor politician re ceived so severe a castigation as did Mr. Gilmer, at the hands of Gov. Bragg. The reply of Gov. B. was able, earnest, manly, scorching and withering. All of the ma terial allegations of Mr. G. against the De mocratic party and Gov. B-, were pro founct d false, without a particle of truth ur evidence to sustain them. Hot shot were poured into Mr. G. most unmercifully, and Me submitted without a murmur. He ap-j I peared t he fully aware of the truth of ' ( !v. R.'s declarations. A gi'in of torture i was the appeal for mercy, hut it was made in vain. Got. I. said it was not his oppo ' nent's first offence in the premises, and ho showed him no mercy. For about five hours, in company with hundreds of others, we patiently listened to the discussion. Every Democrat, we are sure, came away more firmly convinced than ever of the justness of our cause, and , proud of our candidate for Governor. The Know-Nothings lookt d downcast and.dis- heartened. Although they had put the best foot foremost, in the person of Mr. Gilmer, yet they made a poor exhibit of the beau- tics of Know-Nothingism. Their looks in- dicated thai they believed they were in the wrong pew, and were sorry they did not he- long to a party of better principles. Sure- ly nothing but party prejudice, absurd and deplorable though it he, keeps every re- fleeting man among them from at once de- j sorting such a party.

He pointed to Congress, i and ti at) of our State Legislatures, where there is not to bo found amongst our "Kil lers" in all these bodies not half a dozen for eigners, to show the absurdity of Mr. Gil mer's position. Gov. I. referred to this State, , North Carolina, where, in her whole popu- ,nic laugh on all sides of the crowd. The ' latum, as shown by the lat Census, there joke would have been still better, if Gov. are not three thousand foreigners, as addi- j. m( named the paper. It was the " A ' tional evidence against the nonsensical cry ! nlCrican Organ" ! The "Albany States ; about foreigners ruling America. But what j man," a Know-Nothing sheet, having re j will the render think when we inform him, , marked that Buchanan "had not the sha- that the only federal officer it is believed in dow Df a prospect in New York," the " A- Xorth Carolina, who is a foreigner and a Catholic, was appointed by the Administra tion at Washington, upon the deliberate written recommendation of this same Mr. John A.

Consir-teney may he a jewel, b it a man who will be guilty of such conduct is anything but a jewel. ANOTHER TEN-CENT CHARGE. Mr. Gilmer, probahlj anticipating better succaai than Gen. Scott met with when he attempted to wheedle tho foreigners out of their vote, with his "rich Irish bro-ne and sweet fienrati accent.'' attempted on Sut- T urdav to soft-soap the mechanics, and get j t;,c.ir votes by attempting to make it appear that he and not Gov.

B. stated that he was the son of a j mechanic, and vindicated himself most tri- 1 timphantly against the charge. All sensi- ble mechanics, will despise Mr. Gilmer's at tempt to secure their votes in this tray. After tl election, he will not be so much interested as he is just at this time about their welfare.

As an American, I would advise it, FOR THE OCCASION. AMERICANISM CAN NEVER FIGHT THE BATTLE. UPON THE TRUTH OF ITS PRINCIPLES, us long as, by the tactics of its enemies, it is embarrassed by other issues, irrelevant in their nature. Americans must bide their time. Our day will yet come. No matter what course duly may suggest in the com ing political struggle no mater what may I . i ...... T 1 oe rue issue or mar. struggle vet. 1 no pe and believe, the day is not far distant, when all true Americans will be- united, and we shall present one solid phalanx against the myrmidons of foreignism, Romanism and disunionism and the contest will be deci ded on these issues alone." The man who makes such n proposition de serves nomore respect fromSoutherners than a Sumner, Ranks, or a Wilson. And what j will our readers think, when we tell them that a man who aspires to be the next Gov- J ernor of North Carolina tacitly and indirect J ly gives his assent to the infamous propo sition, by refusing to say he is opposed to it ! On Saturday, Gov. Bragg, after cha racterising the proposition in appropriate terms, called upon Mr. Gilmer to sav whe ther or not he approved it. Mr. G. would ' not answer the question ! We j reader to form his own opinions. leave the Silence is j generally construed to give assent and we are thus left to understand that Mr. Gilmer also believes that " Americanism can never J'.L'hl the battle upon the truth of its princi- ' pies," and that he also favors a union of all parties "pro-slavery or anti-slavery," southerners and abolitionists, to put down the j Democrats and put into power Kanw-No- thingism! ! This, alone, ought to deprive : John A. Gilmer of the vote of every true j North-Carolinian. MR. GILMER AND FREE SUFFRAGE. Every man in favor f free suffrage, and opposed to the qualification which creates a distinct and proscribed class of voters at the polls, by denying them the privilege of voting for Senator: unless they are fortu- in the Legislature. RIDICULOUS. Mr. Gilmer, in his speech on Saturday, alluded to a proposition which he maintain ed was on foot to withdraw Mr. Bnchanan as the candidate of the Democratic party. Gov. Bragg demanded his authority for such a statement, and Mr. G. pointed to a Know-Nothing paper. This produced a merican Organ" adds that "the Statesman is undoubtedly correct, and its remarks will apply to main other States besides New York, with equal force. Indeed, so hopeless is the cause of Buchanan regard- ed by the Democratic members of Congress that it is seriously debated, at this time, whether his withdrawal is not essential to the preservation of the Democratic party." What a miserable, filly falsehood! The Democrats talking about withdrawing Mr. Buchanan ! We venture to say there was not a single individual, who heard Mr. Gil mer make the statement, who believed a word of it. The Know-Nothings are talk ing about withdrawing Mr. Buchanan no one else. O rj'- i MR. GILMER OPPOSED TO THE KANSAS NEBRASKA BILL. Mr. Gilmer, it was very evident from his speech on Saturday, in opposition the Kan- as.Nel)raskfi bi,"is in favor of a restora- , .. . - a a oer tne piea oi sansiviuu swi'uuuiwi auu ouiotin slaverv a-itation ! Gov. B. press- ty of ntma Nei or not ho was in fa- or oi liie rvam-ns .euiun uni, ouu no it- i i. i.:ll i, fused to answer tho question ! There is, therefore, no room for doubt that Mr. Gil mer is in favor of the ro-establishment of the Missouri restriction, a measure which acknowledges the power of Congress over qQestmn Df slavery, while at the same timo it deprives the South of that equality to which she is entiled, and at one single dash gives up ono half of her domain to abolitionism, without any compensation. MECKLENBURG COURT. A term of the Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions-iimow in session. To day a large number of persons from the country are in attendance. The session will continue all week. A HARD CHEEK On Saturday Gov. Bragg boldly charged Mr. Gilmer with a violation of an agreement to make his appointments, for speaking, in consultation with Gov. B., and Mr. G. re- ceived the charge without attempting any excuse for such treatment of Gov. B., and without even blushing for such a shameful violation of his pledge. John A. Gilmer has, undoubtedly, the hardest cheek ever found on the face of a man who aspired to bo the Govamorof a State. SICK OF IT Mr. Gilmer- -who would-be, but who will not be Governor of North Carolina, so long as he has the weight of " Sam" on his j back some time since, in his speeches, at tacked the Directory of the North Carolina Rail Road. This turns out to be an unfor tunate electioneering move. The gun has kicked the marksman over. The President and Directory, at the late meeting of the Stockholders at Raleigh were fully sustain ed against Mr. Gilmer's charges and now the Gilmer papers, who, as in duty bound, joined in the cry against the Directory the moment the great Gilmer made the charge, are endeavoring to back out from their false position, and are attempting to make it ap pear that Mr. Gilmer was misled by others, who ought to be responsible ! A poor apol ogy. Much better would he appear, by showing a little magnanimity and disposi- tiou to do justice, by acknowledging that OO he erred iu assailing the Directory of that Road. MESSRS. BRAGG AND GILMER. These gentlemen, we understand will speak to-day at Mocksville, in Davie coun ty, and will continue the canvass through the counties of Iredell, Alexander, Watau ga, Wilkes, and perhaps other counties : clo.-.ing the contest on the day of election at Jefferson, in Ashe county. FUNNY. The Know-Nothing party are supporting Millard Fillmore and at the same time find ing fault with the abolitionism of Martin Van Buren! This is really tunny ! We are no apologists of Martin Van Buren. We have said as many hard things against him, probably, as ever did his worst enemy, and our opinion has undergone no change by his recent course. But the truth is, Martin Van Buren's abolition record is to paz aye, white as snow compared to the ebony record of Millard Fillmore. Martin Van Buren was a very good Southern man, until ho, like Henry Clay, took ground a- i gainst the annexation of Texas, for which he was kicked out of the Democratic party. In a fit of revenge, he turned abolitionist and now professes to have returned to his first love, by endorsing as he does, the Dem ocratic Cincinnati platform, But, once an abolitionist, always an abolitionist is the ar gument the Know Nothings apply to Mar tin Van Buren, and we are content that they shall have it so. Apply the same ar gument to Millard Fillmore, and they must acknowledge that he is still an abolitionist, dyed in the wool. Look at his Erie letter, and his votes in Congress, always with Gid dings, Slade & Co. Martin Van Buren is like a great many selfish politicians who have deserted the Democratic party in a moment of disappointed ambition and uni ted themselves to other parties. After try ing all others, they find out by experience which is the best, and return to their first love. Know-Nothing papers would, if they could, persuade the people that the whole Democratic party of the United States had gone over to Martin Van Buren but all people of common sense will see that it is nothing more than Martin Van Buren (a very small "Matty") coming over to the Democratic party. And who are Fillmore's friends in the North ? The Slavery party or the free-soil party ? Wo will venture to say he has not in the North, ten support ers, out of every hundred, who are not rank free-soilers. At a recent meeting of the Connecticut Fillmore Convention, Mr. Summers of New York, and President of the State Council of Know-Nothings, made a speech, in which he denounced in strong terms tho conduct of the Know-Nothings in selling themselves out to the Fremont party, and eulogized in flowing words Mr. Fillmore, declaring that " he had the best free-soil reputation of any man in the country. He asserted that every act of his life (politically) was just what it should be, except his signing tho fugitive slave bill ; and that ho said was his duty under the Constitution." Martin Van Buren is the author of the famous Sentiment, "Tho sober second thought," and ho is now making it applica ble iu his own case. The New York Herald attributes his great political somerset to a desire to ndvauco the political fortunes of his son John, who has always maintained some standing with the Democratic party of the country. We suspect, however, the true interpretation of Martin's present move is onco more to piace himself in the ranks of the successful party at the next Presi- dential election. re this as it may, bis course and that of his friends in New York indicate clearly that neither Fremont nor Fillmore will ob.ain the large vote of that State. The Herald says Mr. Van Buren's late letter " might very well pass for an electioneering Northern apology of Mr. Toombs, of Georgia." COM. STOCKTON.

Be wide awake let nothing keep you from the polls and the secret ef- fort making to defeat you will receive a proper rebuke. aT SERENAJDE - he Mechanic's Brass Band, on Satur- ' da7 Wfc. 6 Gov. Buago, at his quar- ters at Maj. Kerr's hotel, a handsome Ser enade. Gov. B. appeared on the Balcony, and in a brief but appropriate address, thanked the Band for the compliment, and assured them that such marks of regard were highly appreciated, while undergoing the labors and fatigues of a long political canvass. The serenade, we understand, was not given to Gov. B. as a candidate, but as Governor of the State. VIRGINIA. The indications are, that soon scarcely a vestige of know-uothingisin will be remain ing in this old Democratic State. Nearly all the men of talent of the Whig party have refused to exchange their principles for those of dark-lanternism. In addition to the hundreds of leading Whigs here fore given, as repudiating Sam, the last pa pers from Richmond inform us that the Hon. W. B. Preston, Secretary of the Na vy under Gn. Taylor, has declared him self in opposition to Mr. Fillmore. It will be remembered that he fought long and hard for Taylor and Fillmore, and has been al wavs recognised as one of the most staunch W biers in tho United States. The same remark applies to Messrs. Echols and Ca perton, of Monroe county, Va., and John S. Pendleton, of Culpeper. Thus it is throughout the entire South. The Whigs of distinction are generally arraying them selves on the side of the Constitution, not withstanding bogus Whig alias know-nothing Conventions. HON. JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE. The Louisville Courier of the 7th speaks in the following glowing terms of the cha racter and talents of the Democratic nomi nee for the Vice Presidency: "But what shall we say of our candidate for the Vice Presidency ? Is it necessary that we speak to Kentuckians of John C. Breckinridge? Though young in years and political experience, his fame has gone forth, among the people, until it has become commensurate with the whole American Continent. In politics he has known no defeat. His career has been one series of brilliant triumphs. Some seven or eight years ago, he was elected by an overwhelming majority to the State Legislature, from Clay's own county, (Payette) then Whig by some six hundred votes. In 1351 he announced himself a candidate for Congress in the Ashland dis trict, which was Whig from fifteen to eigh teen hundred majority; and after an ex citing canvass, in which Gen. Leslie Combs was his opponent, he was elected by from six to seven hundred majority. In 1853 he was again a caudidate, the Whigs having brought out Gov. Letcher to oppose him. The canvass was the bitterest ever wit nessed in this State. Tlio Whigs fought with tho desperation of madmen. They were determined to redeem the Ashland District, if human power could accomplish it. Every appliance was brought into re quisition. Money was thrown broadcast over the District committees were ap pointed every county and precinct was polled. The first orators in the party were seen to canvass the different counties. They rode and spoke both night and day, and in sunshine and rain. But the young Kentucky orator was invincible. Tho people rallied around his standard and up held it with a fervor and enthusiasm un paralleled in the history of the nation. John C. Breckinridge was again elected to Con gress from the Ashhand District by nearly seven hundred majority. Of his Congressional career it is needless now to speak. It is known to the country, and the country approves it. As a far-seeing statesman Mr. Breckinridge has but few equals. As an orator, in the true sense of the term, we honestly believe that he stands without a peer in the American fo rum ; while his private character is above reproach, and his bearing that of an ele gant Kentucky gentleman. His personal popularity and exalted worth will add to the strength of the ticket in th's State at least ten thousand votes. Kentucky. We understand that a Fre mont Electoral Ticket has been nominuted in this State. Cassius M. Clay is one of the Senatorial Electors. ty The American party in Indiana have formed an Electoral ticket. There are now three tickets in that State. The freesoil vote will he divided between Fremont and Fillmore, giving the vote of the State to Buchanan by many thousands The House has passed a resolution to adjourn on the 13th of August. The Senate will no doubt agree to this, as they had passed a r solution for adjourning at an earlier period. An Invaluable Companion tor I lie t ampaign.
