i t might, furthermore, not be amiss for them
to urn their attention to the contemplation of
thi fact, that whilst they are horrified at the

DEFINITION OF THE DEMOCRATIC
a, PARTY.
Th editor of the Buffalo (New York) Ex
press, in a long article upon national and local
politics, deprecating the connexion between
them, observes that we have many systems of
pojitics within a greater system, common to
lhm all ; revolving wheels within another
larger one, itself revolving ; moved by different
anfi by similar springs. On the regularity of
thfs complicated machine depends the political
tiine at Washington. If left to move on unin
terrupted, in the order ordained by the builders,
th hour struck is high twelve, the noon day of
publio liberty ; if thrown out of gear by politi
cal tinkering, the hur will be low twelve, the
gloomy midnight of- misrule. Of the State ma
chinery and National machinery of politics,
thf Express says : " The managers of the demo
cratic party early saw this capability of per-
aon in cur system oi government, and. see
ing, war baa enough to take advantage of it"
Th Express adds :
' Under their guidance the party ha nresen-

submission; but ft few of tpe horses were in
tractable by aooh gentle means, and a fore foot
held in th hands of a, hussar, or. th twitch, a
pole with m loop of leather at the end, fastened
by twisting it on th upper lip or ear of the
horse, reduced a hot-tempered horse to the de
sired state. But on or two desperate encoun
ters happened. Wesawa mare raise her fore
feet over. the shoulders of a hussar who was
holding a haker at her mouth, and knock
him to the earth under her. He fortunately
was not much injured. Another hussar, while
at ending thi last horse that was o embark,
was bit in the arm by the animal as be was
being taken into the air, and narrowly escaped
making an involuntary ascent.
The worst struggle, however, remains to be
told. It was with a powerful horse : we heard
it belonged to the sergeant-major. His tem
per being known, the hussars, and riggers, who
assisted them, stood warily by as the sling was
being applied. Three ,or four were at his head,
smoothing the forehead, blinding his eyes, and
holding him firmly by the halter; but the in
stant he felt the sling beneath him, he spurned
it with hi hind legs, and, rearing his tors ones,
drove off all but those who held the halter, and
them he dragged to some distance from the
ship's side, lie was drawn back, and a seoond
attempt was made, but with a similar result.
It was some time before be could be brought a
third time under the yard of the ship, but when
there one of his fore legs was doubled Up and
fastened by a rope. This operation did not
tame bim, but be pawed in the air with the
leg which was free, cleaving a way before him,
and, the attempt being a failure, the bound leg
was liberated. Numbers of men then came
around him. The pain inflicted by the instru
ment seemed to doubly infuriate the animal ; be
stood upon his hind legs, plunged forward, or
kicked and reared alternately, throwing from
him all but the three men who held the two
ends of the halter and the twitch.
His frantio motions compelled those who held
the halter to let it go, but the third soidier
stuck to bis twitch with .a tenacity which was
the surprise and admiration of all who beheld
the contest. At times be was borne off the
ground by the horse, but he never let go ; the
horse at length stood still, trembling, mastered
Itrobably by the torture of the twitch, lie wa
ed back to the centre of the sawdust, and for
a moment or two seemed to submit to the de
sired operation ; but as one of the riggers was
passing behind him with the breech cord, the
terrified animal once more threw out his hoofs,
and in doing so kicked the rigger in the abdo
men. An officer ordered him to be removed to
the doctor's office, and instantly be was taken
from the spot in the arms of his mates. We
understand the hurt he received, although ago
nising for the time, is not likely to be fatal. It
was a bare escape with life.
After this serious accident, a long rope was
procured, and a noose made at one end. Tjis
was laid on the ground, and the horse brought
to step on it. The line was jerked, and the
noose was fastened on the horse's hind hoof.
The instant be felt the trammel, be kicked, if
possible, more violently than before, and then
darted to and fro with a velocity that made it
impossible for any one to hold the leg rope.
The man with the twitch, however, never let
go his bold on the horse's nose, and, after a
terrible scene, that made tha spectators fly to a
distance of safety, the gallant soldier had the
satisfaction to see the animal stand exhausted
by his exertions. Ho was brought back to the
ship's side once more, and the rope fastened
to the hoof was brought between his fore legs
over and around bis neck, and secured. By
this means the horse's power to resist was effec
tively diminished ; the twitch was then applied
to the ear instead of the nose.
The effect of this treatment was magical.
The horse did not stir while the sliDg was fixed
and hooked to the tackle. The signal was giv
en ; the soldiers retired ; the laborers ran off
with the yard ; back he swung, and oscillated
once or twice, beating the air futilely ; even
that soon ceased, and in a few seconds he was
deposited in the hold, where he was with some
difficulty taken charge of by the dragoons be
low. The scene van extremely exciting, and at
one moment even alarming ; but the bravery
and determination of the hussars made them
superior to even the most fiery of the quadru
peds they had that day to deal with. Such men
will be thunderbolts in the hottest brunt of
battle."
DARK DAYS.
In the year 358, before the earthquake of N'i
comedia, the darkness was very denxe from two
to three hours. Two years afterwards iu all
the provinces of the Roman Empire, there was
obscurity from early dawn to noon. The stars
were visible ; and its duration precludes the idea
of a solar eclipse. At the return of light, the
sun appeared first in a creseent form, then halt
its face was seen, and was gradually restored
to iu whole visible disk. In 409, the stars were
seen byiday at Rome. About 536, the sun was
obscured for fourteen months, so that very lit
tle of his light was seen. In 567, such darkness
prevailed from 3 P. M. till night that nothing
could be seen. In 626, half the sun's disk was
obscured for eight months. In 733 be was a
gain darkened, and people were generally ter
rified. In 934, Portugal was in darkness for two
months, the sun having lost iu brightness.
The heavens were then opened in hsures by
strong flashes of lightning, when there was sud
denly bright sunlight. September 21, 1091, the
sun was darkened for three hours. February
28, 1206, for 6 hours complete darkness turned
the day into night. In 1241, on Michaelmas
day, the stars were visible at 3 P. M. In 1647,
April 23-25, three days, the sun was so obscured
that many stars were visible at once. Thus
says Humboldt in Cosmos.
If we come almost to our own time, to May
19, 1790, history and tradition assert the occur
rence of a remarkable day prevailing over New
England, at least, and considerably in some
other places. It came on between 10 and 11 A.
M., and continued until midnight, growing
gradually darker and darker, even till 11 at
night. Candles and lamps were lighted for the
people to see to dine, and to perform work about
the bouse. These became requisite before 12
o'clock, M. In the evening, so dense was it,
that farmers could scarcely, even with the aid
of a lantern, grope their way to the barn to take
care of the cattle. The birds tetired to their
roosu at 11 A. M., and the day was converted
into night. N. O. True Delta.

" I remember the first time I ever surmised
that BIr.,Graybad taken a notion to me was
once when we were at an apple cutting together
down in Maine.; Somehow Mr. Gray had got
into my neighborhood when we ranged round
the great basket of apples. I felt my cheeks
barn the moment he drew his seat o close to
mine, and took out hi jack-knife tobegin.to
work. He pared and I quartered. I never
looked up but once then his cheeks was red
der than mine, and be held the jack-knife ter
ribly unsteady. By-and-by he got a noble,
great apple, yellow as gold, and smooth as a
baby's cheek. I was looking at his bands side
wise from under my eye lashes, and saw that
he was paring it carefully, as if every round of
the skin was a strip of gold. At last he cut it
off at the seed end, and the soft rings fell down
over his wrist, and I took the apple from his
fingers.
" Now," said he, in a whisper, bending his
head a little, and raising the apple peel care
fully with bis right hand, "I'm just as sure
that this will be the first letter of the name I
love, as I am that we are alive." He began
swiftly whirling the apple peel round his head,
once, twice, three times". Then he held it still
a moment, and saf looking right into my eyes.
I held ray breath, and so did he.
' Now," says he, and bis breath came out
with a quiver, " what if it should be your
name T"
I did not answer, and we both looked back at
the same time. Sure enough, it was the letter
S. No pen ever made more beautiful.
" Ju3t as I expected," says he, and his eyes
grew as bright as diamonds "just as I expec
ted." That was all he said.
' And what answer did you make bim,
aunt," asked Robert Otis, who had been listen
ing with a flushed face. "What did jou saj?"
" I didn't speak a word, but quartered on just
as fast as 1 could As for Mr. Gray, he kept
paring and paring like alt possessed. I thought
he would never stop paring, or speak a word
more. By and-by he stuck the point of his knife
into an apple, and unwinding the skin from
around it handed it to me. It was a red skin,
I remember, and cut as smooth as a ribbon.
"Ih'uld'nt a bit wonder if that dropped
into a letter G., says Mr. Gray. 'Spose you
try it."
" ' Well, I took the red apple skin, and whirl
ed it three times around my head, and down it
went on the floor, curled up into the nicest cap
ital G that you ever set your eyes on.
" Mr. Gray, he looked at the letter, and then
sort of side-wise into my face. ' S G.' says he,
taking up the apple skin, and eating it, as if it
had been the first mouthful of a thanksgiving
dinner. ' How would you I.ke to see them two
letters on a new set of silver spoons ?'
" I really believe you could have lit a candle
in my face, it burned so ; but I couldn't speak
more than if I had been born tongue-tied."
"But did you never answer about the spoons?"
asked Julia.
" Well, yes, I believe I did, the next Sunday
night," said the old lady, demurely, smoothing
her apron.

a man loses anything by kindness. I know a
little matter of this sort saved my life, and per
haps the lives of many others at the ssme
time."
How was that ?"' asked we of our model
conductor.
" Why, we had an Irishman on this road,
watching the tunnel. It was warm weather ;
so he used to go into the tunnel to keep cool.
I rather think he used to take a little liquor
when he was lonesome ; any way be laid down
on the track one day to listen for the cars. He
fell asleep, and very imprudently got his head
cut off by the express train. V ell, there was
the last of that Irishman. There was the devil's
own row in that shanty when we took the poor
fellow up, and got away as decently as we could,
for you Know it's not agreeable to be surround
ed with a distracted family when you are neith
er a doctor, nor a nurse, nor a preacher. Some
how I was always sorry when I passed that
place ; of course I felt as if not exactly the
same thing but just as bad might have hap
pened to me some day, and then ihere'd be an
other row in the family. I told my wile about
it, and she sent the family some little things.
The widowf the dead Irishman whs a Catho

would sometimes take up the old woman on
Sunday and carry hertocnurch at M. I some
how thought it was a satUfaction to her to
go to church, for she had but little chance any
how. 1 did not eipect to get any thing for it
in this world, and 1 expected they had so much
scored agaiut me in tne other, that it wouldn't
amount to anything there.
" That was during the summer. One night
the next winter it was very cold, and the moun
tains were covered with snow; we were run
ning to make time, when, on turning the curve,
the engineer saw a waving light on the track,
and w e soon heard some one ahead shouting. 1
was men out on tne piatiorm. l ne engineer
stopped the engine, and blacked up; we g.t out
and went ahead in the dark to see what wa
the matter. There it was. A large land slide
had fallen across the track, near tne ehantv of

swinging the chunks ot fire like a revolving
light house, and there were the little Irish car

had watched ail night in the cold. But for her,
in another minute we should have run into a
pile of dirt and stone an big as Barnum's Ho
tel. I should have got a pit ticket,' certain,
for I was on the platform. What would have
become of the passengers and train you can
guess as well ae I can."
We expressed a hope that the poor widow had
been properly rewarded.
" The passengers made up about eighty dol
lars; the company afterwards gave her the
shanty free, and the brukemen and engineer
bought her a cow, and she made out very well.
But when I handed the money to her that
night, she said: " Gintlemen and ladies, I'm
thankful, and may we niver know the wants of
what ye give me. But what I did was mostly
on account of him there. He was kind and
thoughtful to the poor and afflicted, and I'd a
watched till I froze before harram should have
come to him, if I could have helped it."

WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 6, 1854.
THE OFFICIAL VOTE, THE LATE ELEC
TIONS. We give is another column the official vote
of the State of North Carolina for Governor, at
the late election.
In our next, we propose briefly to examine
this result in its different phass. This may
oome late in the day, but absence from our
post, on a health-seeking mission, has .hitherto
prevented as from doing it, as we desired, and
as we yet purpose.
For the present, we may simply say, that
though, much contrary to our expectations, we
have been beaten, we can yet lift up our head
from the temporary humiliation with which it
is bowed, and proudly say that see have not
been conquered. We have made, indeed, as we
shall demonstrate, formidable inroads upen the
strength of the enemy. Another such a fight,
under another so gallant a champion, and ioco
focoism, with all iu false pretensions and infa
mous practices, will be dead in North Carolina.
For that fight we are ready now 1
The result as to the Legislature only proves
that our friends in many of the counties,
whether through an overweening and danger
ous confidence, or from a lack of proper organ
iration, allowed themselves to be out-generalled.
This we regret most of all. "Eternal vigilance
is," indeed, " the price of liberty." Give us
400 votes to be distributed as we could wish,
and we can easily neutralize the locofoco ma
jority in the next Legislature.
THE APPROACUING FAIR.
It will be seen, by the notice in another col
umn, that the Mayor ban called a meeting of
our citizens, for the purpose of taking steps to
provide for the accommodation of visitors to
the State Fair, to be held on the 17tb prox. A
year ago, we were taken entirely by surprise at
the unexpected and extraordinary number of
persons in attendance, and there was doubtless
just cause of complaint, on the part of many
who were present, at the scanty arrangements
that had been made. We hope that our citizens
will bear it in mind now that their reputation
for hospitality is at stake, and see that it does
not suffer.
The improvements at the Fair Ground are
handsomely progressing; and its capacity prom
ises to be greatly increased. All the indica
tions, indeed, point to a great carnival of the
agiicultural and manufacturing industry of the
State an industry upon which the best inte
rest" of North Carolina are based.

ter Virginian, and Danville Republican, all
6trong locofoco papers in-Virginia, are opposed
to the Hunter "Land graduation bill," upon the
ground that it is a sacrifice of Democratic prin
ciples and a violation of the Constitution.
Hugh McQceen, Esq., formerly Attor
ney General of this State, has been elected a
Judge, at a recent election in Texas.
True. The Louisville Journal says : Wolves
baud together to get the prey and then fight
like devils over the carcass. So with the De
mocrats ; they unite to get hold, and then skin
each other afterwards.
JtThere is not a solitary newspaper in all
the city of New York which sustains the admin
ixtration. The True -Democrat was the last to
have the party, which it did a few days ago.
This city gave Pierce eleven thousand majority,
and it is very doubtful now whether he could
get one thousand votes to show for it.
Not Dead. Ex-Senator Downs, Collector at
New Orleans, is not dead, as has been reported
and very generally believed. The appoint
ment by the President of the Surveyor of the
port in his place was premature. No action
should be taken in such matters until the Exec
utive is in possession of official information on
the subject. It is supposed that things will
remain in statu quo.
Our Post Office. A corresptndent, who
signs himself "X," (but who withholds his pro
per name, and is thereby prevented, by our
uniform rule, from being heard through our
columns,) complains of mismanagement at the
Post-Office in this City.
tU It will be seen, by the advertisement in

to the next General Assembly for a renewal of
the charter of the Bank of the State. Tbe pre

Entispsisi akd its reward. The "Warren-
ton News" mentions the fact of two carriages
having been boxed up and sent off to purchasers
on the Wilmington Road, during the last week,
from the Coach Factory of W. H. Bobbitt. The
"News" very properly remarks :
"This SDeaks well for both manufacturer and
purchasers for manufacturer, because he has
succeeded in rivalling similar establishmenU at
the North, whence eanie, a few years ago, all
articles of this kind ; and for the purchasers,
because it shows a disposition on the part of
southern men to patronise southern enterprise
and pay their money where their patronage is
appreciated."
Exhibition or Colts iv Edckcombe. There
will be an Exhibition of Colts, under twelve
months of age, in Tarboro', on Thursday of the
ensuing November Court. The Exhibition is
to have quite a novel and attractice feature:
The owners of the two colts adjudged to be the
sorriest by the two Judges are to pay a Barbe
cue and trimmings to all exhibiting, and each
exhibitor is to have the privilege of inviting two
friends. Very good.
County Fairs. The Granville Agricultural
Association will hold their first annual Fair at
Henderson, on the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad,
on Wednesday and Thursday, the 4th and 5th
of October next. The occasion will doubtless
be a highly interesting one, and we hope may
be numerously attended. E. G. Reade, Esq.,
of Person, will .deliver an address before tbe
society.
A County Fair will also be held in Cumber
land in November and the Hon. A. W. Vena
ble is to deliver the Address.
Liquor License. The "Tarboro' Southerner"
calls attention to a recent decision of the Su
Dreme Court in tbe License case of Mr. S. E.
r
Moore, of that place. It decided that a License
granted by the County Court was not valid
without the concurrence of the Town Commis
sioners.
A Familt Quarrel. The " Wilmington
Journal" retorts very tartly to some insinuations
of the "Democratic Pioneer" about "Cape Fear
Domination." Don't part 'em.
Newspaper roa sale The Proprietors of tbe
North Carolinian in Fayetteville offer their es

Know Nothings. The "Fayetteville Caro
linian" says that a Know Nothing association
is shortly to be organised in that place, and
that a number of names have already been pro
cured for the purpose.
It is also understood that the order is already,
or is about to be, established in Greensboro',
Pittsboro', Hillsboro,' and other places.
The Spring. The " Warrenton News "
states that the number of visiters both at Shocco
and Jones' has been unusually large this sea
son. Of the latter place it speaks in high
terms, and of the former it says :
'What is most remarkable, we have not
heard the first word of complaint of the fare
during the season. This is owing to the very
liberal outlay by the proprietors and the supe
rior management of Mr. and Mrs. Gresham, the
Superintendents."
Nao's IIfad. The "Old North State," whose
Editor has recently been to this delightful re-
treat, speaks glowingly of his vinit. He says:
"We think Nag's Ile.vd destined to become
the most popular resort in this section of coun-
try, and can see no reason why it should not.
I he bathing is not surpassed by any in the
world the table is always supplied with the
best that can be procured the servants are
obedient and attentive and there is no pains
spared by the Proprietor or his Assistant to
mnke their visitors happy and comfortable."
Oca Historian. Col. John II. Wheeler, re
cently appointed Charge' de Affairs to Nicara
gua, was in Salisbury, on his way to bis resi
dence at Beattie's Ford, on Saturday last. It is
his intention to spend a few days there to ar
range his affairs, before he enters upon his Mis
sion. Counterfeits. The "Fayetteville Observer"
calls attention to the fact that many counter
feit $10 Bills on the Bank of Cape Fear, hereto
fore described, are now in circulation. The
counterfeit is well exeouted ; the bills made
payable at Salisbury, Fayetteville or Wilming
ton. The " New-Berne Atlantic ' speaks of
a dangerous counterfeit on the Bank of the
State, payable to L. S. Webb, at Windsor, and
dated June 1st, 1853. It was a $50 bill, new
plate, letter A ; was detected at the Branch
Bank in Newbern, but is so well executed, that
none but the best judges could ever discover
that itwas not a genuine note.
Bane, of Cape Fear. The President, direc
tors and Company of the Bank of Cape Fear
will apply to the next Legislature for an exten
sion of the term of their Charter, and an in
crease of their Capital Stock.
The "Raleigh Standard" has more than
once denounced that great politico-theological
Nightmare, Know-Nothingism, that so fear
fully disturbs its slumbers, as an off-hoot of
Abolitionism I
The New York Tribuno, oo the other hand,
ia quite sure that it was started for tbe express
purpose of " killing off Gov. Seward 1"
Such is the issue between the two worthies 1
t&Qn. Pierce's organ at Washington seems
to be enraged at the existence of the order of
Know Nothings. We are astonished at this, as
that paper has for a long time been the organ
ofjuitsnchan administration.

A series of thirteen resolutions were
by Mr. Church, one vf them- endorsing the Ne
braska bill and expressing the "most lively
satisfaction- with id on the ground that u
wouid give to the parity "unity aadnniversaltty
and nationalism, insnd of sectionalism."
Another declared tbetbey were against all

form of Abolitionism, theDaffalo heresy, Na
tive Americanism. Know Hothingism, or any
other ism." But the leaderof the Contention
denied to Mr. Church the right to offer these
resolutions, and their consideration was delay
ed to hear a speech from MrManypenny, the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who seems to
be West for the purpose of looking after the
welfare of the Democratic "tribes.' Then, be
fore any question was taken upon tike resolu
tions, the Convention adjourned. This was ra
ther a summary method of getting id f a
doubtful issue.
Mr. Manypenny oeems to have outlfyed th
memory of one of President Jackson's stivngest
precepts (what the practice was under H we
shall not stop to illustrate.) It rounded :k pe
riod in his inaugural, much to the edificatif :p of
his friends, and was to this effect :
"The recent demonstration of public se rkti
ment inscribes on the list of Executive dutie f
in characters too legible to be overlooked, thex
task, of reform ; which will require, particular
ly, the correction of those abuses that have
brought the patronage of the Federal Govern
ment into conflict with the freedom of elec
tions," tc.
The reading public cannot have forgotten the
efforts of "office-holders," not only during Gen.
Jarkson's Presidency, but during Mr. Van Bu
ren's and Mr. Polk's. The latest instance was
that in which the Second Assistant Postmaster
General, aud one of the Auditors, in 1848, were
members of a Central locofoeo Committee, and
spoke and wrote with much freedom during
that canvass.
"Ours is the party in which effort is com
mended, talent appreciated, and devotion to
principle rewarded. Standard.
The "Raleigh Standard" is a most proper
vehicle for such trumpery as this. The Editor,
himself a renegade, knows something of the
sweets of "reward." Locofocoisin ever stands
ready to "reward" treachery. The British, in
the days of the revolution, "rewaided" Bene
diet Arnold, too. But as to "devotion to prin
ciple" pah ! Clingman and Rencher may
well smile !
Thursday last closed the summer month
for 1854. Tbe past summer will long be remem
bered as one of the hottest and dryest ever ex
perienced in this country.
