We will esteem it an rpeeial favor. The result will be eagerly sought for on all bands, and we desire to sa-fi-fy the public interest as soon as possible. We hope to have it in our power to an nounce next week the re-election of Gov. Jiragg, bj an overwhelming majority. DEMOCRATS OF MECKLENBURG The election is at band. On Thursday you are called upon to say whether you are in favor of or opposed to Know-Notbing-im. We will not reflect upon your patrio tism, by appealing to you at a crisis like the present, to attend the polls. You are well aware of the importance of the contest n Thursday, and we are sure, eagerly waiting for the opportunity to cast your votes in favor of your cherished principles, the principles of the Constitution and equal rights. Know-Nothingism is seeking to es Ubfidi itself in high places in your State. It remains with you to say whether it shall have charge of the destinies of this good old wale, and rule over you and yours with its ami American, illiberal, and proscriptive principles, as with a jod of iron, or whether you prcf, r that the principles of your foro lath. rs, as embodied in the Constitution and the Hill of Rights, shall continue to prevail. It you wish Massachusetts and Vermont, and all their fanatical crew, to send up a shout of exultation to reach the verj heav ens, let the Democrats bo defeated on Thursday next, in North Carolina, Why they will exult we leave to your own intel ligence to determine. Rut, that they would rejoice, that Know Nothingim, Black Re publicanism. Abolitionism, and all the other BM now united in the North against the 1. mocratic party, would send forth pseans of joy, the roar of artillery, and celebrate your defeat with illuminations and torch light processions, there can be no doubt If such exultations over your defeat, by the fanatics of the North, will prove agreeable to your Southern ears, either stay at home a the day of election, or go to the polls and ote for the Know-Nothing party. Re member, too, that the hopes of the same party arc resting upon this election, to ad vance their prospects of success at the elec t'&a for President in November. The Know-Nothings are moving heaven and rth, as it were, to defeat you. They are calling, in all parts of the State, upon their cret elaas to come forth on the day of e lectioo in their full strength, to vote early, and then to labor the balance of the day in 6ttiug the careless or indifferent to the Polls- We warn you of their efforts, that you may imitate their example, and not be taken by surprise by 3 our secret-moving enmy. Show corresponding efforts, and a glorious Democratic victory will be the rsult. James R. Claj, Esq., son of the late "enry Clay, of Kentucky, is out in favor of Buchanan. His letter next week. KNOW-NOTHINGISM IN THE FIELD In opposition to our own opinion, many of our democratic friends, from time to time, have advised as that the Know-Nothings wculd endeavor to steal a march on the Democrats, by presenting candidates, on the very eve of the election. Their predic tions have turned out to be true. Sure enough, at the eleventh hour, SAM is in the field, with fart of a county ticket Gen. John A. Young for the Senate, and Dr. Isaac Wil son for the Commons. It is now apparent that Know-Nothingism has been secretly at work all the time, in planning and laying trains to take their opponents by surprise, and blow them up on the day of election. And it remains with the Democrats of Meck lenburg to say whether such efforts to de feat them shall be successful. Why have the Know-Nothings presented but one candidate for the House of Com mons ? The reason is plain. For the pur pose of trading, bartering and trafficking in votes ! Democrats, this move is a re flection on your integrity and honesty. It is obvious that the Know-Nothings regard you as wanting in principle and common sense. They fancy they see something green in your eyes, and that they can flatter, hoodwink and honey-fuggle you out of your votes. Yield to their applian ces and deceitful persuasives, and let them get your vote for one or both of their can didates, and they will immediately turn round and boast of their smartness in tri umphing over you, and laugh in their sleeve and ridicule you for your weakness. They will invent and privately whisper in your ears all manner of tales and falsehoods to prejudice you against our candidates, while they will present in false colors the beauties of Sam's candidates, and ask you to vote for a Know-Nothiug Mr. Young, of course for they : ive no hope of electing Mr. Wilson. He was brought out it is plain, merely to draw the chestnuts out of the fire for Mr. Young. The modus operandi to be as fol lows : Democrats will be approached and asked to vote for Mr. Young, on the ground that the Know-Nothing promises to vote for some one of the Democratic candidates. There will bo no effort made mark what what we say to trade votes for the purpose of electing Dr. Wilson. The heavy Demo cratic majority of Mecklenburg, on the vote for the House of Commons, leaves no hope for Know-Nothingism in that quarter. The whole scheme has been laid to elect, if possible, a Know-Nothing Senator. Is there a Democrat in th? county of Mecklen burg who will lend himself to carry out such a scheme ? Wo do not be.Veve it. The Democrats of Mecklenburg alwnjs cast their votes upon princijile, discarding as wholly unworthy a great cause all minor differences of opinion. After the last char ter election iu this town, a Know-Nothing, in a fit of disappointment at the result, com plimented their honesty and firmness by declaring that " that you might as well at tempt to pick a hole through the rock of Gibraltar, as to attempt to pick a hole in the ranks of the Democratic party of Meck lenburg." It appears, however, that ano ther effort is to be made against your in tegrity that another trial to get you into the support of Know-Notliingisin, is to be made on Thursday. This is evident, from the fuct that Know-Nothingisin can have no hope of success without Democratic aid. Hut where are the Democrats in whose eyes Know-Nothingism has discovered some thing green ? Let the vote of Thursday next answer. RIGHT ABOUT, FACE ! The last "Whig" of this place, says : "We stated last week that two of the Democratic candidates had stated that they were as good Whigs now as ever, dec. The gentleman on whose information we found ed this statement called on us and stated that we had misunderstood him. As we never intend to remain in a false position if we know it. wo therefore take the earli est opportunity to correct our statement." THE COUNTY CANDIDATES. The Court-House was crowded, on Tues day last, to hear addresses from the county candidates. Wm. R. Myers and YV. F. Davidson, Esqrs., addressed the voters pre sent, in speeches highly gratifying to their political friends. Neither of the Know-No thing nominees responded to a polite invita tion extended them by Mr. Myers, before he took the stand nor did any person in their behalf. Such a course, howe ver, was dictated by good policy. The principles of Know- Nothingism have all to lose and nothing to gain by discussion before an intelligent peo ple. Sam flourished everywhere, so long as he kept iu the dark. The moment he was dragged from his hiding place, and his de formities exposed to the light of day and the view of a liberal and enlightened peo ple, he has been rapidly descending to that "bourne whence no traveller returns." Messrs. Young and Wilson, therefore, have acted wisely by declining to go before the people and advocating the claims of their dearly-beloved Sam. They are both gentle men "dyed in the wool" of Kuw-Nothing-ism, and recking from head to foot with the obnoxious vapors of the dens of that secret and oath-bound concern. Surely, they do not expect the people of Mecklenburg to vote for them, so long as they have the sins of Know-Nothi.:gism to answer for. m m MESSRS. BRAGG AND GILMER These gentlemen speak to-day atWilkes- boro', in Wilkes county. To-morrow they omit speaking, and Thursday close the can- j vass by a discussion at Jefferson, in Ashe county. 1 hey have had a warm time of it, and both must be gratified that their ardu- ! ous labors are at an end. The result of the I O campaign will soon be known. Gov. Bragg j as a vile forgery, weeks ago, by the Post has borne himself most ably and gal- master General, the Union, and other lantly through the contest, and we cannot j Wa3hington papers.

He says he feels peculiarly flattered by the confidence reposed in him. FREE SUFFRAGE. All who are in favor of Free Suffrage and opposed to standing Ufeck at the polls " like a poor boy at a frolic," because they may not find it conveuient to own 50 acres of land, will remember what Gov. Bragg said on this subject, in the presence of Mr. Gilmer, and vote accordingly. Let them remember, too. if the Gilmer party obtain a majority in the Senate or House of Com mons, the Free Suffrage bill may again be defeated, as it was once before, by the vote of a Know-Nothing John A. Gilmer, him self, on that occasion.- A TRIED MAN. The Know-Nothings appeal to the peo ple to vote for Millard Fillmore, " because he is a tried man." Upon the same ground we ask the people to vote for Thomas Bragg. He has been " tried," and found in every respect an able, dignified. honest and capable Executive Officer. His bitterest enemy has not dared to find fault with him, as Governor of North Car olina ? Why, then, .should he be turned out and an untried man put in his place ? Let Know-Nothingism answer. "Mr. Fillmore has no concealment about him, and that is the reason why the people love him so dearly." Fayttteville Argus. Can the Argus inform us what are the opinions of Mr. Fillmore, in regard to the Kansas-Nebraska bill? Is he in favor of that bill, and for maintaining the principles contained therein ? Or is he in favor of the repeal of that bill, and a restoration of the Missouri restriction ? And is he, or is he not, in favor of Congress exercising pow ers over the slavery question in the territo ries? And does ho not acknowledge the power of Congress to refuse the admission of territories as States, on the ground that slavery has been adopted therein ? None of these questions can be answered by the Argus yet Mr. Fillmore has no conceal ment about him ! But the Argus doubtless thinks, with Kenneth Rayner, that the slavery question is "subordinate" to that of know-not hingism, and therefore feels no concern about Mr. Fillmore's opinions in reference to the questions we have pro pounded ? There are but two main issues in the present political contest the slavery question, and know-nothingism. Mr. Fill more has subscribed to the know-nothing platform, which "acknowledges a Supreme Being" and expresses "Opposition to the reckless and unwise policy of the present Administration as shown in opening sec tional agitation by the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise;" hut, in all the election eering speeches he has recently made, and letters he has written, he has not conde scended to inform the people (fcvho have the right to kow the opinions of candidates on important questions) what are his views on the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and the princi ples connected therewith. Yet, he has no concealment! O no, not he,' What a sig nificant fact: A Southern party supporting a candidate for the Presidency, withou knowing his sentiments on one of the main questions of the day aye, a vital ques tion, to the South, at this time of abolition insolence, encroachment, and power. The following is the "Twelfth Section," which was repudiated by the Know-Nothing National Convention, at Philadelphia, in February last an act which caused many Southerners to repudiate the Know-Nothing party. As Mr. Fillmore has "no conceal ment," will the Argus inform us whether or not his candidate, Mr. Fillmore, also repu diates this section? That he does repudiate it, Wm. M. Burwell and thousands of others believe, and have deserted Mr. F. in consequence thereof ; but the Argus, we predict, will not be able to answer the ques tion. Mr. Fillmore dare not place himself upon such a platform, while he is looking to the North to elevate him to the Presiden tial chair. THE TWELFTH SECTION. XII. The American party, having arisen upon the ruins and in spite of the opposi tion to the Whig and Democratic parties, cannot be held in any manner responsible for the obnoxious acts or violated pledges of either. And the systematic agitation of the slavery question by those parties hav ing elevated sectional hostility into a posi tive element of political power, and brought our institutions into peril, it has therefore become the imperative duty of the Ameri can party to interpose, for the purpose of giving peace to the country and perpetuity to the Union. And as experience has shown it impossible to reconcile opinions so ex treme as those which separate the disput ants, and as there can be no dishonor in submitting to the laws, the National Coun- cil has deemed it. the best guarantee of j common justice and future peace to abide by and maintain the existing laws upon the ,. . ,r , subject of slavery, as a final and conclu- sive settlement of that subject, in spirit and in substance. And regarding it the highest duty to avow ineir ominous u im'ii uu nui bo 1111 mm lauL , , , . ISM r IX : j- 5 j r V , the weak, knavish, or silly ilr. Harrison in distinct and unequivocal terms, it is, . , hereby declared, as the sense of this Na- proposes; and yet the V hig publishes h:s tional Council, that Congress possesses no letter to show that there is no chance for power under the constitution to legislate the election of Mr. Buchanan, and that the upon the subject of slavery in the States . between Fillmore and Fremont f of the Luion; nor to prohibit a State " ... -j- . n from admission into the Union because its Culd &nY thinS e more ridiculous ? Pro constitution does or does not recognise the posing that the Democrats run no ticket in institution of slavery as a part of its social New York, and that they all voto for Fill- system; and especially pretermitting any expression of opinion upon the power of Congress to establish or prohibit slavery iu any Territory, it is tho sense of the Nation al Council that Congressought not to legis late upon the subjecct of slavery within the Territory of the United States ; and that anv inti-ftfrinrn hv Crnrris with slaverv as it exists in the District of Columbia would be a violation of the spirit and intention of tne compact by wnicn tne state ot Mary land ceded the District to the United States, and a breach of national faith. DISGRACEFUL. Know-nothing papers continue to publish a forgery, professing to be a Circular, is- 8ued from Washington, levying a tax on Postmasters for electioneering purposes, although the Document has been branded MR HEWITT'S SCHOOL The opening of Mr. Hewitt's Classical School is deferred until next Monday, in consequence of the unfinished state of the desks, fee. " A TRIED MAN" Know-Nothing journals are continually harping about Mr. Fillmore being " a tried man." When and how tried ?" Was it while he was in Congress ? There we admit he was " tried," and tried" mora than fifty times, and was always found voting with Giddings, Slade, and the other ultra fana tics of the North in favor of every aboli tion measure before Congress, during the whole period he was in that body. Was Mr. Fillmore " tried" while he was for a brief period the accidental President ? It so how ? We- will tell the reader what kind of a " trial" ho had there. There were but two cases presented to him for " trial." First the Compromise bills, one of which (the fugitive slave bill) he thought unconstitutional, and would not sign (as Mr. Crittenden, his Attorney-General, proves by his letter in to-day's paper,) until the Cabinet by a written instruction had ex pressed themselves in favor of his signing it! He labored, it is evident, to hatch up some excuse for refusing to sign that bill, although it was coupled with two or three other bills which the abolitionists had as their part of the "Compromise." But, it was a severe " trial" notwithstanding it was part and parcel of a " Compromise" be tween the North and the South ! A law made under a plain and imperative injunction of the Constitution, and part of a "compro mise," was sought to be set aside under the plea of its containing some " unconstitu tional provisions," and a law which at length received his signature only by his "overcom ing long cherished prejudices ! ! What sort of a " Compromise" would it have been, without the fugitive slave law ? No com promise at all. The North, already with three-fourths of the pretended " Compro mise," would have had the whole of it the South none And yet, Mr. Fillmore had " constitutional objections" and long cher ished prejudices to overcome,'1 before he would consent to sign it! Such was one of the " trials," his Accidency had, while Pre sident. How was it with his other "trial," while President? He was asked to pardon out of the penitentiary two abolitionists sent there for stealing a ship load of negroes from Washington. And to this he yielded without any constitutional scruples, and without any sacrifice of "long cherished principles." Here then, we have shown what sort of a "tried man" Millard Fillmore is. There was nothing but the two cases alluded to, to test his abolitionism, when he was Presi dent, and these only go to confirm the truth of previous impressions and records. Elect him President, and send up bills for his sig nature, abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia, the slave trade between the States, slavery in the new territories and States, in favor of a restoration of the Mis souri or some other restrictive line, and all the other abolition schemes which he has at some period or other avowed himself in I faor of, and then we would have "a tried man." We, for one, have no hope, that Mr. Fillmore would veto any of these measures. He has deliberately declared that he is in favor of all of them, and at the same time declares that he is opposed to the exercise of the veto power except in cases plainly unconstitutional. It can witn as much pro priety be maintained that a man ii honest, who has never had a chance to be dishonPst, as to maintain that Mil la d Fillmore, by his acts as President, is "a tried man" on the slavery question. We 1 epeat, that there were but two acts there to try him, and on both of these his abolitionism was plainly exhibited. If the people want "a tried man," let them take James Buchanan. He has been tried in every aspect of the slavery question and always been found acting and voting in favor of the South ugainst the mischiev ous schemes of abolitionism. ' SANFORD HARRISON." The Whig parades a letter in its columns signed " Sanford Harrison," and wishes to know " what the Democrat will say to it." The Democrat answers : If the letter is not a forgery, Mr. Harrison is an imposter, a knave, or great fool. He professes to be " a Democrat," sketching a plan to defeat Fremont and elect Buchanan President. And how does he propose to do this ? By proposing that the Democrats do not pre sent an Electoral Ticket in New York, and that all the Democrats of that State vote for Fillmore and Donelson, and thus throw the eiection into Congress, where, he says, , , , ... "Mr. Buchanan or Mr. Breckenridge will be elected:!' ucn a plan, lie admits, might elect Mr. Fillmore, but, he says, "he has no sort of fear of that." That is what more, to aid Mr. Buchanan's election ! ! ! And yet this is the exact proposition of the letter to which the Whig calls our attention ! The Whig ought to be ashamed to let such a silly article appear in its columns. If written by a Democrat (which we do not helieve) it must have been intended to hoax Know-Nothings NEW YORK. The two wings of the Democratic party of New York, met last week in State Con vention, at Syracuse, and formd a Union Ticket for the next election in that State. This makes assurance doubly sure that the vote of that great State will be given to Buchanan and Breckinridge. Mr. Harrison's advice, that they all vote for Fillmore, to elect Buchanan ! was not adopted. The "Whig" will no doubt be surprised that the Democrats of New York have disregarded such a plausible and sen sible plan for the election of Buchanan ! iy Whitfield, of Kansas, has been turn ed out of Congress. Particulars in our next. A greater outrage has never been perpetrated by a public body. MATTHEWS, ESQ. Yesterday Madam Rumor was busy in our town, affirming that the above gentleman is a member of the Know-Nothing or "Amer ican" party. We are enabled to state, upon unquestionable au thori ty . t hat Mr. Matthews denies, in the most positive terms, that he be longs to that party. On the contrary, he is. as his course and his votes at all elections have shown him to be, a thorough-bred, dyed-in-the-wool Democrat. We hope none ot our friends will prejudge Mr. M., hastily. We ask in his behalf a suspension of opin ion until he can be heard himself on the sub ject. He aill be in Charlotte, on Thurs day, if not sooner, when he will, we have no doubt, fully substantiate the truth of what we here state. o THE JUVENILE CONCERT, To be given by Mr. Kemmerer and his 60 Pupils, to-morrow ( Wednesday) evening, at the Court-House, will be a very pleasant and interesting entertainment. See his no tice in another column. o " t A notice in our advertising columns will show that the N. C. and S. C. Rail Roads have adoptej a new Schedule for their mail and passenger trains and that a change in the time of arrival and departure of the Northern trains, and of the depar ture of the Southern cars, from Charlotte, has taken place. o GOV. GARDNER. This abolition Governor of Massachusetts has been nominated for re-election. In his letter of acceptance he avows his purpose to support Fremont, because ho "believes the contest solely between him and Buch anan." On this subject he differs with his know-nothing friends in this section. y s j r WHO CAN BEAT IT? We learn that Mrs. Rankin, the excellent wife of John D. Rankin, Esq., of Dallas county, has already raised the present sea son rix hundred young chickens, which number will bo increased by some hnndrods more before the expiration of the year. A large number of turkeys, geese and ducks, were also at the same time the fruits of Mrs. R.'s labors. Who can beat it ? They are all, too, we are requested to stato, for Buch anan, Breckenridge and Bragg, except the ducks and geese, which "go it" fiat-footed for Fillmore and Gilmer. lyThe failure in-the arrival of the north ern cars, Sunday night, was caused by the train coming iu contact with a tree across the track. The engine and cars were bro ken, but no person injured. Gaudiner, Me., June 22, 1854. Wm. H.
