Humphrey of > leaving '■ Bledsoe i ^ up a judgment of their future from the record of their past personal and ofiieial conduct. Those candidates are John Bell and Kdward Everett. Judge Douglas, we all know, is stumping now in this State; we suppose that (Jov. Johnson is with him at Raleigh, leaving for a few days his labors at the South. Lincoln and Hamlin, we hear of occasionally, as enlightening their followers at the North. John C. Breckin ridge, after stumping his way from Washington to Kentucky, commences the campaign in that State with a speech at a grand barbacue in Scott County, on the 0th of September. The last we heard of “Old Joe” was of his stumping some where at the North West, after having commenced and suddenly abandoned a tour through North Carolina. e cite these facts because the people are interested in knowing the character and conduct of those who seek to rule them. Our views coin cide precisely with those of the Breckinridge men, but we do not cuujine their (ijijtlication tn Jufii/e Douglas. He is doing as the others do; as Mr. Breckinridge does now; as he did in ISofJ, when a candidate for the Vice Presidency; and as Mr. Buchanan himself has done, not as a candi date, but as the Prksioknt of the United States. * ;■' I'ed -t: f ■ rri I.s III "V iN MKXlCt ri. \ .“ii intvr -■ r tl .. ...

Of the one hundred and seventy mem- r^rs, then, of the last Assembly, but forty-eight ave been returned to this. (Ihineing over the names, however, we take the M'lubly elect to be one ot far more tfiaa ordi- rv ability. The Whigs, certainly, are ably rep- ( iitcd iijeach House. In the Senate, on that »e do not see a name which we do not recog- iz> as that ot a gentleman of standing and intel- .cui ■, while among them are such noted names ■ irehead, Dockery, Outlaw, Worth, Barrin- if. and Turner. In the Commons, we see the ".limes of many known to us as honorable and in- cihgent gentlemen, with ability to fill worthily iic places of the generation passing away; and aiaung them such well known men as Donnell, Poindexter, Mebane, Rogers and Ferebee. Our friends we feel assured will act worthily their part in the stirring scenes next Winter, 'i'here will be lively times. To say nothing of important tjuestions of State policy which will claim the attention of the assembled wisdom, [there is a most unusual amount of spoils to be .^iribnted, tor there are to be chosen: A Senator .11 vWi jf Mr. Clingman; a Supreme ’ourt Judge ii pace of Judge iiuthn; three Superior Court in the places of Judges Caldwell, Manly, nJ Shi-pherd. Already we hear of strong Dem- Tat;i' opposition to each of the present incum- iit^ if these live important offices, and to each t tiK- lesser State officials. Many Democrats, !i 'W lit.-, who are »juite willing to take their [ .iLcs view the ‘;ia as ‘‘wolves in sheep’s cloth- :i._. and will be glad to see them “walk the ;;unk"—to use the expressiom of his Honor J uj_-e Saunders in relation to swme of them. We have II . doubt that his Honor him.self, for in- '■ • . though already an ’/, would be very glad ’ ;it least one of the wolves mentioned above ;i. 1 i • t': walk off ihe plank while he walked on it, the sheep’s clothing, or Senatorial robes as r> ader may plea.se, transferred from the wolf to wii shoulders. i'nK _>FFiriAi. Vote.—Yesterday’s Standard 'iitains its official vote, which we copy as proba- more nearly correct than that in the I'res-, aijJ as the best we shall get. There are errors in it as in that of the Press, but the Standard’s has this advantage: the figures furnished lor I’ool and Kllis when added up produce the results stated. ill IIMO.M) AND RoBK.SON StXATORIAL DlS- TKicT.—Will some of our friends oblige us and many ot our readers by sending for publication the poll for Senator in Richmond and Robeson'/ \\ f have frequent inquiries for it, and are unable t" gratify the curiosity of our friends in the Dis trict, who desire to check the boasting of their I*umocratic neighbors. The official vote will ac- ■ iiiiplish that object. Th j vote in Robeson was sent us and publish- d ]^ut our Richmond correspondent of election time> contented himaelf with saying that (ien. I'-ic-kery’s majority was very large; and since then ' have seen no one from Richmond who could >•■'1 us what it was. •J i.b»iK Dougla.s in North Carolina.—Hon. ■'ti ph(-n A. Douglas, Democratic nominee for the l'r iiduticy, arrived, so we learn, in Raleigh yes- tt rday afternoon. We suppose that he speaks to day, as he is announced to be in Richmond and -peak to-morrow evening. Ihe papers bring glowing accounts of the en- ttiu.^iama created by the Little Giant in Virginia. Jle has spoken at Norfolk and l*etersburg in that ■''tate. >HAi-ts._\\ e jjave enjoyed a very liberal sup- }>}} of delicious grapes from Tokay, Messrs. W.

'lAlK Boni^s.—The Public Treasurer adver- s for sale ^120,000 of North Carolina Bonds, f'ids received to Sept. 26. N. C. Bonds are last 4uoted in New York at 98 i k Notahi.k Fact.—The Democracy claim some credit for having divided on priiicij)(>: the South ern wing could not stand the platform of princi ples forced upon them b}’ the Douglas men. How much truth there is in this claim may be gather ed from the fact that for nearly sixty baUotingn, the delegates from A'irginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, and other States, did their best at Charleston to nominate a candidate (not Mr. Douglas) and run him on this identical ]>ouglas platform, unchanged by the dotting of an i or the crossing of at. We fear there wtis not much principle in the matter. Some interest, we take it. SoMKTHl.NG KuR THK BoRUKH StaTK.'^ Tt) think of.—The “cotton states” are full of dis- unionists. These h ive some darling projects that cannot be accomplished in the I nion, and so they want to go out and to forci* along with tliem the border States, which nut only have no interest in, but are actually opposed to the plans of the dis- unionists, the revival of the slave trade, Ac. From an Alabama Jiaper, published in one of the hot beds of disunion, we take the following para graph, not only because it tells some wiiole^ome truths, but because it contains matter for thought by the people of the border States: They are to bear the brunt of it, let them decide when tJit-t/ shall raise the btorm. Says the Montgomery I'ost: ‘•The ({uestion of sece.-sion was considered in 1>‘51, and an immense majority ot the Southern people decided against it. There is no more cause of secession now than there was in IS;")1. The election of Lincoln would, of course, present the question in a new a-^pect, and, we think, therefore, it would be very unwise to decide it now. Wiien it comes up for decision, if it should ever come up, Alabama will scarcely decide it without consulting with her sister Stat«!s, Mis .sonri, Kentucky, Tenne.soee, \’irginia, .Maryland, North Carolina. These States are much more deeply interested in the question than .\labama is. If there in fighting to be do^e, they will be the greatest sufferers, if there is property to be lost, the}’ are to lo.se it. If honor is at stake, they will know how to guard it. We do not think that Alabama will be disgraced by remain ing in the Cnion with those States. .Vnd it they decide to go out, Alabama need not be ashamed to follow.” A I>if;LMoN Bla.st.—The Charle.«^ton Mer cury ha.« the following ‘"exclusive” despatch from Washington: “ Thr Position uf (iormior Ijftrhfr.—It is now understood in well informed political circles in this city, that Governor John l.,etcher, of Vir ginia, will decline to take any active part in the contest between the respective partizans of Breck inridge and Douglas. He believes that liineoln's election is rendered certain by the divisions and broils in the Democratic camp, and regards the dissolution of the I'nion as inevitable in that event. He further declares that in such an emer gency, he will immediately take steps to put Vir ginian a position to l>e ready, at all hazards, to maintain her rights as a sovereign State.” As Gov. Foote was announcing “by authority” in Richmond on the .'^ame day this despatch was sent to Charleston, that Gov. jjetcher is for Doug las and against Breckinridge, we think it likely that the closing sentences of the despatch are as untrue as those beginning it. Partv Tyrannv.—We talk with horror in this “land of the free” of the tyranny which op presses our fellow creatures in other lands; of “the iron heel of despotism,” as the orators say when they become excited on the subjects of “the American Kagle” and other peojile’s Bears and Lions. But where is the iron heel of Bear or Lion’s master, which crushes men as they are crushed in the Eagle’s home, by I^arty Spirit, the most exacting despot of them all'/ liisten to the humiliating speech of a recent member of the Senate of the Cnited States, and more recently a Governor of a sovereign State: Said Gov. Weller, making a speech to the Breckinridge Democracy in California a few days ago:— ‘‘I am a party man,” said the ex-Governor, “in the strictest sense of the term. As a party man you have pushed me very hard, sometimes; you have compcUrd me to vote for some nifn whom I recoffuized noichere as gentlemen. 1 was once compelled to vote for a tjamhler of thirty years stundiuy to he High /Sheriff oj iSaii f rancisco ayaintt Col.

I The barren result of the meeting of the Breck- i inridge State (’ommittee at this place on Tuesday, ! shows how bitter is the feeling of hostility between ! the two fiictions into which the Democratic party i is irreparably divided—certainly more bitter than ! the antagonism between the Douglas men and the i Bell and Lverett party, for these came to an amicable understanding and union of tickets at j Syracuse; and probably the same union might originally have been effected between the Breck- inridge and Bell men. Bnt the Breckinridge I ( ommittee met here to consiler the implied offer I made at Syracuse of a union; they expected a I pioposition from the Douglas men, but none came, whereupon they “mounted their high horse”^nd pretended that they did not want to fu.se with any party, whereas it is well understood that they would have been glad ot an ofler fnmi anybody, and tiiat without fusion they do not stand the ghost of a chance of doing any thing but help liincoln. It will require a combination of all the anti-Lincoln men in this State to save it. And 1 deeply regret to see any difficulty in the way of such a combination. New Yt>rk rescued, Lin coln could not jiossibly be elected. New York for him, he could scarcely by possibility be de feated. Nobody here pretends that there is any other cause than the division of the spoils for the bit terness between the two branches of the “har monious ’ Democracy. To be a Douglas Demo crat has been sufficient cause for removal from office by the Administration, and to be a Breck inridge Democrat equally potent to secure office; and this is the unpardonable sin. I see it stated in a letter from this place to a N. \ . paper, that “a number of Southern gentle men, including representatives from liouisiana, I'lorida, Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee, endorsed the action of the Breckinridge men.” I think this is a mistake, .\mong the N. C. Democrats here on Tuesday, I know of but one lireckinridge man, and I am very confident he had nothing whatever to do with the mutter. I am happy to see in the N. V. Times of this niorniniT, tfiat there are still hopes of a union of the BreekinridL'e men with the other elements of t'pposition to Lincoln in this State. 1 had sup posed that such hopes were extinguished by the non-action during the UK'cting at this place on Tuesday last The Times says,— “It seems to be universally conceded that a larger number of the ]>eopIe of this State are in favor of the llepubliean than of any other ticket. Each of the three other parties confe.^ses it. in ability to carry the State. But they all hope that by uniting their forces they may defeat their com mon foe. The great point aimed at now, there fore, by the friends of Bell, Douirlas and Br.n-k- itiridife, is t.» e.iiiil>iiio their votes so .-is to lefeat Lincoln, ’fhe work has lieen partly aecomplisb- ed. The Douglas Democrats have ]>ut up an electoral ticket i>f wliieh ft yi [tlaces. out of’^{5, are given to the friends of liell;—and it is confident ly believed that betnre tlu‘ election the Breckin ridge party will acccjit a -iinilar position on the same ticket. ” 'I his is encouraging; :ind it is encouragint; also to following the I'inies in its complaints of the enormity ot this “coalition,” which it pronounces dreadfully corrupt There is an indication of alarm in the 'I imcs s remarks, which encouraires nje to hope, not only that the union will take place, but that it will be eHectual to save New \ urk from voting for Lincoln, and consctjuently to defeat his election. That is an object impor tant enough and patriotii* enough, to justify a union with any party that ever existed in this country SAH.^TtMiA. -\ug. 27. I>^»i0. 1 once reail a story of a Minister’s confessing that Ilf had lauirhcd in tb«' puljiit one time in his life, viz: when he lcH«kel up in fhe gallery, while praying on a very cold d.iy. and s:iw a young man rubbing his hands over the beal of a kneeling person who had hair of a fiery red color, ap]«u- rently felicitating himselfon the warmth thereby imjiarted to his numbed fingers. If a .Minister might laugh in the pulpit. I suppo-^e a con^rega- tion oi lay people may be pardoned for smilin;r at two ludicrous incidents tlnit occurred in the Epis copal church here yestenlay. A Georgia D. I). had progressed to near the end of a very excel lent sermon when he made a jiretty long pau.se after a .sentence and eonuncnced the next with the words “An 1 now.” .V goodly number of the congregation, supposing the sermon at an end, and that the?e words were the beginning of the benediction, rose, but instantly discovering their mistake, sat down again in some confusion. But when the sermon did come to an end, a worse mistake occurred. It is the universal practice in all the churches here, to make a collection every Sunday morning during “the season," ami it is a matter of some importance, as it amounts to about 650 every Sunday. Inste;id of handing tlie plates to the Vestrymen immediately after the sermon, the Mini.ster said “Let us pray,” and had said the closing prayer and half of the fin.il blessing, when he somehow discovered his mistake or was in formed of it. He stopped in the middle of the half-fini.shed sentence, and i^>t the plates to hand out. But nearly half of the congregation, nearest the doors, either supposing that all was over, or availing themselves of the opportunity to give the slip to the collectors, incontinently left, and while the collection was going on in the upper end of the church there was a decided outward move ment at the lower end. I don't know whether any of the collectors were sent round to intercept the runaways, but if they were not, the Saratoga congregation is j)robably ten or twenty dollars poorer to-night than it ought to he. It was per- hap-j not a very reverent reminiscence, but 1 could not help thinking of a story I once heard of a waiter at Niblo’s Garden calling out to another, “Look out, Jim! There go two teas and a biandy punch over the fence.” I understand that the Rev. Dr. is very absent minded, never gets through a service at home without .some blunder or other, and is particnlarly liable to make them in the marriage service, call ing the parties by wrong names, tc. I met a newly arrived party of North Carolina friends at the Congress Spring yesterday, one of whom was swallowing down tumbler after tumbler of the water in the afternoon, jocularly remark-1 ing that he had only a day to stop on his way to i Niagara, and he had concluded to make the i best use of his time and endeavor to get the worth ' of his money. I told him of a case as bad as his, | where an odd genius from our State naed to drink j forty-five tumblers dry every day, fifteen before each meal, and that it was supposed his life had - only been preserved through the watery ordeal ! by the fact that earlier in life he had swallowed an immense deal of brandy, and having now'l>e- come a teetotaler his watery potations only had the efiect to neutralize the brandy. As my friend had not prepared himself by going so extensively | into the brandy business, I advised him against the water. It is perhaps fortunate for a good : many people about Fayetteville that the “blue- ! head” whiskey is said to be abundantly mixed with water before it enters the stomach, though ] always shall think that T ought to have been made a rich man by getting half the price at which water thus mixed was sold while I owned the Fayette ville Water Works. 1 think I would be satisfied with such an income. New Stage Routes.—Maj. D. G. .McRae, contractor on the route between this Town and Pair Bluff, intends on or about Sept. 10th to put a .nail and passenger coach on that part of the route between this and Lumberton. His schedule will be arranged in connection with that of the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Road which, it is expected, will be completed to Lum- berton in a few weeks. The contractor hopes to arrange a schedule so that pa.ssengers may reach Wilmington in nine hours. The distance to Lum berton is but 34 miles and the road excellent, so that the staging will be by day-light and only six hours. Tri-weekly trips and two-hor.se coaches, with which the service will begin, will be chang ed to daily trips and four-horse coaches if the travel is sufficient. e hear also, tliat Messrs. C. S. Barbee & Bro. are now negotiating for the establishment of a stage line from Newton R. Bryan’s (the nearest point to Raleigh on the We.stern Railroad) to llaleigfi. If made, the arrangement will materi ally lessen the time and fatigue of the trip to and from Raleigh, substituting -.bout :J0 miles of rail road travel for 20 miles by stage. Steamer Kate MrLnurin.—The above named steamer arrived at her wharf this morning from Fayetteville, after having undergone a thorouL'h repairing. The Kate .^IcLaurin, we understand, has had entirely new and substantial machinery placed in her, including two new engines and a large fine boiler, with other imjiroveinent,-;. She is now one of the best looking, and we have been told, will prove herself one of fhe fastest boats on the river. She has fine ac«‘onimo«lations for pa.ssengers, and is under the command of Cai)t.

The news from Mexico is highly importiint. I he greatest excitement prevails at Vera Cruz, both among the people and the authorities. It was expected every moment that the bombard- meiit of the city by the Spanish fleet would com mence. Lverything within the city and the forts was prepared for such an event. The ar tillerymen were at their posts and the garrison under arms night and day to repel the anticipated iittack. It was credibly reported that Juarez would, if attacked, make a sudden descent on (’uba. Such a diversion, it was thought, would have the effect specdil}- to draw off the Spanish force from its threatening position before Vera Ouz. TliiJty-four .soldiers, forming the guard of a conducta. had perished for want of water. The greatest scarcity of provisions prevailed in North ern Mexico; the supplies of corn and wheat were completely exhausted. The population of the towns were compelled to enlist or flee. Great ilissatisfaction prevailed in consequence. 'i’he rumor was rife at \'era Cruz, that Gen. .M irainon, regarding his cau.se as hopeless, had absconded. Large reinforcements of the Liberal troops had been despatched from Tampico to wards the city of Mexico. It w'as thought that an assault upon the Capital would take jilace at an early day. Frojii Wnahinijton.—The following is a correct list of the vessels ordered to special service in the Gulf of Mexico. tSusquchanna, Poichafau, Po- cali'intas, Sacaniuth, Saline, St. Louis, Svpply, anl two or three others of the home squadron. Although it is not positively ascertained that Spain intends a hostile attack on Vera (’ruz and other Mexican ports, the Administaation has, in consequence of recent information, taken precau tionary measures to render whatever protection may become necessary to American persons and their jiroperty. Maj. Seilgewick, writing to the War Depart ment from Camp, near Fort Larned, Kansas Jerritory, says he had returned from a scout in the Smoky Hill country. The troops were absent seventy days, traveling 1,200 miles, but had seen no hostile Indiuns. llis opinion is the Kiowas and (’amanches have scattered, roving, if at all, in sn all bands. A military post is forthwith to bo e.stablished on the big bend of the Carson Iliver, in Utah, 'fhe troops thereabouts are protecting the mail carriers and emigrants from the Indians. .\bout half a million documents are weekly sent out from the capitol folding-roojns on account of the .several political parties. In addition, the same kind of work is extensively performed at the Club-u)oms.

The season is now too far advanced for them to hope for suc- ce.s, oven should there be rain, and a great amount of sufl'ering is expected to result. There are some small districts, however, where the drouirht has not been .so severe, where scanty crops may be obtained, and these together with the old corn left over from last year it is hoped will be sufficient to keep the inhabitants from absolute starvation. }(irl,' J‘ilitns.—The .\merican State (’oiincil has re-nominated the I'nion Electoral, ticket.
