Kioiii tlic date of this issue of the

nil our readers in the District before
ihoy vote. What we bava to ssy about
the prospect of Mr. Canaday, as a last
word, will bj very brief. , I
1 lie two candidates. W. 1 Canaday
and John W. Shackelford have fpoken
in joint discussion in every county, and
. iu some several times. They were ac
companied by Sir. Kornegay, who with
' 'out much validity of title as a candi
date, appeared as a (jricnbacker.
. Nearly at the last time he spoke, he
nimoumid, himself for Hancock and
Eu'uVVsH, 'and after that neither of the
: oniVuUWs epoke together. !The real
controversy, is therefore between Can
tilHy,aml Shackelford.
, Tlure were many unfortunate cir
ruiiiMaiicvs surrounding the nomination
l Gil. .Shackelford. There jiad been
i'iilrr fcoliug' between Cot.j Waddell
nnd Major C. M. Stcdruan, rival Den
til rat ic candidates, and both fell vic
tims to the fatal two-thirds rule, to say
tioihing about J udge McKoy, and other
'Ives prtumuent aspirants, among whom!
Fol.;!Shackclford was not at first thought
of. The normal aspect of th canvass
sss bad at' the itcry outset the Demo
traitc party if theThird District, loaded
tloisn with a icandidate, without any
considerable following. If Shackelford
'.had sliownlaoy of the magnetism of a
popular loader; or nau ueraonsiraieu
any ' capacity on the stump,; or even
diowed any familiarity with public af
f.irs instead of igiiorance, ho might
luvf f fought his way, in spite of the
dull,. leaden lead, the stolid j apathy,
. itich he encountered from the wrangle
which, he inherited from Stedman and
Waddetl. It is uo -use i ever. When two

On Friday there turned up at Point
Ca wclf , the following gentlemen in
their order- Bruce Williams, Esq., of
Pender, 'II. E. Scott, Esq., candidate
for thw Senate for Jfew Hanover and
Penderj' a gentleman named Pedee
Brown, the inevitable Fornegay, Mr.
Canaday, the Republican candidate for
this District, and Col. J. W. Shackel
ford, the Democratic candidate. They
spoke in the order mentioned. We had
understood that the joint canvass had
broken up -that school bad been dis
missed and each was on hia own hook
aud account, when we were it formed
that Shackelford with his co-Hancock
Greenblck ft tend, Kornegay, were about
to turn up again. About 9 o'clock on
Friday morning Mr. Canaday was dash
ing across Ihe twenty miles of sandy
road to Point Caswell, and arrived In
season for the show. What was about
to have occurred a joint speaking of
Shackelford and his Greenback confrere,
did not occur, and this recently cre
ated Castor and Pollux of politics, got
thiir usual drubbing from Canaday
and H. Scott, Esq., thrown in.
During the speaking it leaked out
that Shackelford notified Canaday that
he considered the joint canvass closed
at Farmer's Turnout Canaday said so
during his speech, with some comments
thereon, and that afterwards he fonnd
him right under bis eaves-droppings In
Pender,' with his twin brother Korne
gay, ready for gymnastics. It would
be interesting to know , what Shackel
ford intends to do. Aa iUwas, Canaday
made aa earnest speech of an hour
showing good reasons why he ought to
represent this Congressional District.

AN ADDRESS
By the Chairman ojhe Republican Con
gressional OjmmUlce to the Republican
. Votert of tte United States :
"We have met the enemy and they
arejours." From Oregon, from Khode
Island, from Vermont, from Connecti
cut, have come recent voices: bearing
no uncertain sound, but booming and
ringing with the notes of "Republican
victory. And now Ohio, giving us at
least 23,000 popular majority, and six
tee of "her twenty Congressional dis
tricts, and Indiana giving us from
5,D00 to 10,000 majority, probably nine
of her thirteen Congressmen and her
Legislature, with its certain promise of
a Republican United Statea Senator
join their swelling - vbiceswith these
shouts of triumphand sew to make
our coming victory sure.
The vote of yesterday is due to fear
& Dtmocratic atcccdancy, of "solid
soPtn," of the ruin to our industries
which would follow Democratic Free
Trade experiments, of Ibe disasters to
busiuess. and to laboring and to other
interests which would Jbllow"a chaDge'
oi uoveriiment wnen an is prosperous
now. We have pierced the .eHemy'a
center, but we must not elecp1 on our
arros. We must charge along the line,
and rout him "hersr, foct, and dra
goou.'' t
Republicans, n number tliul this is
the ''last ditch" of the "solid Bouth,"
and the defperation of despair is not to
be dc-pisid. Stand by your colorf;rcst
not fur au instant' Sustain your com
mittees in the fight for doubtful dis
trict; be vigilant, pggressive, pressing
the enemy in the front, inthc rear.and
on me nanas, auti do not erase your
efforts until a complete and overwhelm
ing victory in November tdiall crown
them with the assurance of Republican
ascendancy and that fieedom, peace,
and prosperity which will surely ac
company it.
Jay A. Htjbbell,
Chairman Republican Co'ngrecsional
Committee.
Washington, Oct. 1 3, 1 8S o.
T11E DEMUCKAT1C MUNKY BOX.
We are reliably informed that the
Democrats have received a larste
amount of money for the purpose of
carrying North Carolina and especially
the Third District. To cover their own
tracks they arc trying to make the peo
ple believe thai tl c Kepublicans have
been furnUhed'wilh a large amount o
money, sent from ti e oith for their
benefit. i
Nothing of this ".suit is true. We
know what we are saying, and in fact,
speak by" authority, when we assert
that not one dollar or cent has been
sent to this District for campaign pur
poses. But the Democrats have abund
ance of money, drawn from English's
barrell's, and are spending it lavishly.
They intend to do all they can to carry
this District, by bribery and fraud.
KOnjftOaY,
. The pretended Greenbacker, Korne
gaj, having declared that he . would
support Hancock, has retired to private
life, being of no further use in public
lhat great and splendid science of pay
ing debts with promises to pay that are
never to be complf d with, is no longer
attractive to him. Don Quixote and
hisjtilt with the wind-mill was nothing
compared with Kornegay 's fury into
the domain of reason.
