The Democratic press and the Democra cy f the country, from Maine to Louisiana, hail with delight and enthusiasm the BOOU iiatiniof Bonhaaaa and Breekenridge. Our exchanges from every point of the compass are teeming with accounts of grand Ratification .Jollifications. In Phi ladelphia, there was the largest assemblage ver witnessed on Independence Square. Messrs. ("ass, Douglass, and Orr were ani'Hi:'-t the Speakers. And hi New York the people assembled by acres to greet the nominations. Pennsylvania and Xew-York will both give her vote to the nominees by overwhelming majorities, and Ituchauan and Breekenridge will lie elected by the largest vote ever civaa to a President and Vice 'resident. As the Convention was, so are tin- people united, to a man, in favor of the nominees. Ob the other hand, northern Kuow-No-tiuagtSSB and Abolitionism denounce, in bit ter terMS, the nominees. To show our friends the mows and opinions of these Sia ntesQ parties, we w ill in our next lay before them the remarks and comments n the nominees from some of the leading aboli tion journals of the north. They afford the best evidence of the national, conservative, and southern principles of o ur candidates. ih A GLANCE AT THE REASONS. - In our last we promised to allude to theS considerations which operated airainst the nomination of (Jen. Pierce for a second term, (n the first place, the one-term prin ciple operated against his nomination. Since the time oft Jen. Jackson, the one term principle has been strictly adhered to bv the Democratic party. The lamented Polk approved it. Ami the immense and continued increase of executive patronage, renders this policy in the opinion of many. prudent and wise. In the second place, J thousands wished to see Mr. Buchanan President, and his see suirtrested that this was perhaps the only time they could hope for his nomination. His able and uniform support of the Democratic party from Mon roe's Administration up to the present time, inclnding all Southern measures, the acqui- j sition of Texas. Are. gave him a strong claim to the gratitude of the party. In the third place, many believed that the old and great State of Pennsylvania (the key-stone of the Federal Arch) was entitled to the honor, never having had a President. And in the fourth place, many believed him the most available man ; and that the crisis de manded a candidate around whom every national Democrat in the union would rally. Our choice was for Pierce, above all others, hut our motto is " Principles, not men," aud we are delighted that in Mr. Buchanan WS have an honest and pure man, one of massive intellect, sound statemanship, of bold and comprehensive views of American and foreign policy, of stern and unyielding Democracy, a conservative politician, With a reverential devotion to the Constitu tion, and with a popularity that will in No- ' vember next consign the remains of Sam to f the tomb of the t'apulets, forever. ' mm s Mr. Crampton. the dismissed English Minister, sailed from Boston, for England, fn the Oth iustunt. 1 m THE PLATFORM. We ask Whigs and Southern men of all parties except the oath-bound, to compare the Democratic National Platform with that miserable anti-twelfth section affair adopted at Philadelphia in February last, or com pare it with any that has been or will be adopted by the several factions in opposi tion to the Democratic party, and then de cide where every consideration of patriot ism, duty to the South, honor and interest calls them to act in the present crisis. Among the first acts of the convention was the rejection of the Benton delegates from Missouri men who, though coming from a Slave State, were chargeable with free soil proclivities. In the next place, a Presi dent was chosen from an extreme Southern State, a. slave-holder and a fast friend of the institution, and finally a platform hos been adopted, national and comprehensive. LINCOLN COUNTY. This genuine and spirited Democratic county, it will be seen by a notice in to day's paper, will give a grand Ratification meeting, in behalf of Buchanan and Breck enridge, on the 12th of July. The Hon. John Kkkr, and other distinguished speak ers, will address the assemblage, which will no doubt be an immense gathering. All who heard speak, at our last Superior Court, one of Lincoln's own gifted sons, W. Lander, Esq., would be delighted to hear also his eloquent voice on the 12th of July. CABARRUS COUNTY. A Democratic, Buchanan, Breekenridge, and Bragg Ratification rally will come off in Cabarrus, at Concord, on Saturday next, on which occasion, K. P. Waring, Esq., our District Elector, will make his opening speech for the campaign. "Sam" would do well to draw on his thickest coat, for he is destined to receive a most awful thrashing. By the way, our Elector met with an ac cident, a few days ago, which severely burnt one of his arms. With a flask filled with powder, he was in the rear yard of his dwelling, teaching his interesting and sprightly little juveniles, or "ideas," "how to shoot," when fire accidentally communi cated to the flask, while in his hand, pro ducing an explosion which it 's wonderful was not more serious in its .-fleets. This statement will set right those who are un der the impression that Mr. W. received his injuries, while firing salutes in his yard over the "glorious news" from Cincinnati. His first gun, in honor of that intelligence, will be fired at Concord, on Saturday next. f s , , - MR. BRECKENRIDGE. The opposition can find nothing in Mr. IJreckenridge's character or political course to carp at. His nomination, is on all hands, attested to be a good and popular one. True, the Wilmington Herald finds a serious objection to Mr. B., but whether the Ameri can people will regard it of sufficient im portance to reject him in November next, is questionable. Hear the Herald's com plaint : "Wo pass on to Mr. J. C Breckenrige, of Kentucky, the nominee for Vice-Presi-dont. He is a young man, about forty years old, tall, said to be talented, known to be wordy, and has served two terms in Congress. While in Congress, he had a difficulty with Mr. Cutting, of New York, a member of the House, but the affair was settled amicably. President Pierce ten dered him the Spanish mission, but he de clined it. When you look at him sideways, "his forehead, nose and chin are nearly in a straight line." We are told that there is a "poetic glimmer" about him. If so, it will be manifestly out of place in the chair of the Senate, should he be called to oc cupy it." Can't Mr. Breekenridge mend his profile, and discard that "poetic glimmer," in order to remove the only objection urged against his iituess for the office for which he has been nominated? Do try, Mr. B. THE N. C. CENTRAL RAIL-ROAD. At a recent meeting of the Directors of the Charlotte &. South Carolina Bail-Road Company, we understand, the following re solution was unanimously passed: lit solved, That a connection with both trains, each day, should be made with til3 South-Carolina Rail-Road ; and in order to do so, that two passenger trains run each day on the Charlotte & South Carolina Rail-Road, so soon as the North Carolina Rail-Road shall run two trains on said road. Resolved, That the President do inform the President of the North-Carolina llail Road of the above resolution, and earnestly request the President and Directors of suid road to arrange as soon as possible to run on said road so as to make perfect connec tions w ith adjoining roads. We are gratified, as wo think all of our citizens will be, to see this proposition for two trains a day (a morning and evening one) on our rail-roads ; and we hope it may be the pleasure, as we think it will be the interest, of the North-Carolina Road, to ac cede to the request of the C & S. C road. It would afford our citizens, and the people along the entire line, additional travelling and mail Jacilities. while it would, if not at first, ultimately secure to our roads, on a superior and tin- most pleasant route, the entire travel nearly between the South and the North. Our great roads now form a connection with only one of the lines which pass twice a day north and South. Thus they lose half the loaf, while a full connec tion would secure a full loaf. If our roads ever prosper aud pay, they must depend upon something more than the local travel and support. They must add the profits of through travel and foreispi support, by con nections which will let the blood flow iuto her veins from other corporate bodies. Of this fact the enterprising Directors of the C Sc S. C Road seem to be aware, and we trust the intelligent Directory of the N. C. Road will properly appreciate the advantages of a full connection at Goldsboro,' and thus accommodate the friends of the road, pro mote their own interests, and allow her al ly, feeder, aud friend to participate in the advantages of such a connection. The first three or six months may not "pay," but we venture to predict that longer than that time will not be required to establish a most lucrative through travel. The Wilmington and Manchester Road is no favorite at pre sent, and now is the time to enter for the prize. Q FALSEHOODS. The Philadelphia Pennsylvania, and other papers of that State, denounce as a falsehood the charge that Mr. Buchanan in 1843 or at any other time, maintained in a speech, or otherwise, that "ren cents a day was enough for a laboring man." The ' Pennsylvanian declares that no respectable or responsible person can be found to j father the falsehood, and challenges the j enemies of Mr. B. to produce, if they can, j any extract from his speeches or writings ia support of the slander. Nor did Mr. j Buchanan ever declare that if there was a drop of Democratic blood in his body, he J would open a vein and let it out; and in i this case also, no evidence can be produced that he ever made any such declaration. And equally untrue is it, that Mr. Buchanan, in 1819, or before or after, ever offered or supported any resolutions against slavery and the South. Nor did Mr. B. ever write any Erie letters, or vote in favor of Con gress abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia against the removal of slaves from State to State that the negroes who murdered the crew of the ship Creole in curred no penalty thereby, &c, Sec. But . the proof is positive that Mr. Fillmore did these things. THE CIVIL WAR IN KANSAS. Civil war, with all its horrors, now rages in Kansas. On the night of the 3d the abolitionists burnt the town of Bernard, a pro-slavery settlement. Eight pro-slavery men have been murdered on Pottowattomie Creek, by a party of free-state men. The victims were horribly mutilated. Fifty abolitionists attacked a pro-slavery party near Lawrence, and in the conflict several men were wounded. In the neighborhood of Bull Creek, the abolitionists have been burning houses and driving away the families of the pro-slavery settlers. Capt. Pattis' company went to a place called Hickory Point, to suppress disturbances there, and had two of his men killed. Another fight occurred between some parties near "Blackjack;" nine of the abolition ists and thirteen of the pro-slavery men were killed, among whom were Captain Pattis and James McGee. On the 26th ultimo, at Osawotomie, the pro-slavery men seized a free State man and hung him, when his wife fled and aroused the neighbors to the rescue. A fight ensued in which five pro-slavery men, and two free State men were killed. A party of some twenty free soil men entered the house of a man named Wilkinson, in Franklin county, and in spite of the entreaties of his wife, dragged him out of his bed and brutally murdered him. They then proceeded to the house of an ' old man named Doyle, and murdered the old man and two sons. They then went to a Mr. Sherman's, where they murdered three more men. A man named Whitoman was also killed. The only reason that could be assigned for this inhuman butchery was, that the Abolitionists (the Court being in session) were afraid that these men would be called upon to give evidence against them, as many of them were charged with treason. An appeal is made to the South for men and money. Gov. Shannon has issued a proclamation, and is using every effort in his power to quell disturbances. It will be seen by our Congressional report, that a proposition has been made iu the Senate to send Gen. Scott to Kansas, to put an end, if possible, to the civil war now raging there. RETURN OF THE KANSAS COM MITTEE. The Congressional Kansas Investigating Committee have returned to Washington, and allege that they have proof that out of j 5,500 votes cast at the Legislative election of 1855, only 1100 were legal votes. They j were sent by their abolition friends in Con gress purposely to obtain such information, i and they have complied with the wishes of those who sent them. Who will place any faith iu the truth or honesty of their report? I Offer of an Abolitionist. Gerrit Smith, of New York, the well known aboli tionist, has written a letter, in which he demands that the Republicans shall de nounce slavery not only as ungodly, but as against law, as a crime, and that they will be "put to death." He proposes to raise $1,000,000 and one thousand men "not whiskey drinkers nor profane swearers," but men with the "purity and zeal of Crom well's armies" to drive slavery from Kan sas. As he considers himself too old to fight, he offers to subscribe .$10,000 of the one million, iu aid of the "suffering brethren in Kansas." Gerrit's New York "brethren are not very likely to respond, to any extent, to his appeal. Gerrit, it will be remembered, was nominated by a woolly-head Conven tion, a few days ago, for the next President of the United States. tW The Chicago papers state that the adjourned meeting of Saturday night, for the further consideration of Kansas affairs, and the ratification of the Republican (free soil) ticket, was the largest ever held in Il linois. It was resolved to send five hundred settlers from Illinois to Kansas, and $15, 000 was subscribed for the purpose. A committee was appointed to procure further subscriptions, and take charge of the ar rangements. o m a S A Mr. Hall ottered a resolution in the House of Representatives of Massachu setts, a few days ago. appropriating 20, 000 in aid of the Kansas sufferers. After discussion, the resolution was laid on the table by only eight majority. The Boston Advertiser says the New England Emigrant Aid Company have re solved to rebuild the Hotel at Lawrence. 3FOne hundred and fifty United States troops passed through Buffalo, New Y'ork, on the 5th instant, cu route for Kansas. ty On Monday 300 U. S- troops from Carlisle barracks, en route for Kansas, passed through Pittsburg. GOLD-MINE PROPERTY. It will be seen by a notice in to-day's paper, that G. W. Caldwell, Esq., of this place, has for sale some valuable gold and copper mine property, which, if not pre viously disposed of, will be sold at J uly Court. SUPERIOR COURT. A special term of Mecklenburg Superior Court (Judge Caldwell) will be hold next week, commencing on Monday. Some im portant cases, we learn, is set down for tri al, amongst them an interesting case of slander, in which there is a large number of witnesses. a Harvest. Many of our farmers are now cutting their wheat. There are some good fields, but many show the blighting effect of the long drought in the spring. The crop will not be an average one, although the large quantity sown last fall will make up in bushels for the failure of the fields. The straw is unusually short, but heavily headed. In some localities the rust, ap pears in the wheat. The late heavy rains have started the corn and cotton fields to growing finely. Correction. In our last, we stated that Mr. Buchanan received all the votes of the Convention, except "3 scattering." Mr. B. received every vote of every State of the Union. The North Carolina delegation, when on the 14th ballot, they changed their votes from Mr. Pierce to Mr. Buchanan, reminded the Convention that he, "Old Buck," had been the first choice of the State four years ago ; and that the dele gates then yielded him, as they now yielded Mr. Pierce and Mr. Douglas. Messrs. Bragg & Gilmer. The Wil mington Herald says Mr. Gilmer will ad dress the people of that city sometime du ring the present month aud adds "we sup pose, as a matter of course, that Governor Braerer will meet him at these points." Of course Gov. Bragg was consulted about the appointment for that place, or of course he ought to have been. as 13F Know-Nothing Journals are attempt ing to show that Mr. Buchanan was a Federalist in his boyhood. They would be better employed in showing, what they can easily prove to be true, that Mr. Fill more has been from his boyhood to old age, an Abolitionist "dyed in the wool." These papers attempt to prove that Mr. B. was a Federalist in 1823 by showing that he sup ported for Governor of Pennsylvania, a Mr. Gregg, a Republican, iu opposition to Governor Shultze. DAVIDSON COLLEGE. The Commencement at Davidson College takes place on Wednesday of next week (the 2Gth.) The "closing exercises, on the 25th, as well as those on Commencement day, will be unusually interesting on the present occasion, aud a large assemblage of the patrons and friends of theCollege, it is anticipated, will be in attendance both days. The orations will be numerous, aud on very interesting subjects. The talented and el oquent Moses D. Hoge, D. D., will be there, to deliver an Address, and a charm ing Bund of Music will accompany the ex exercises, processions, and proceedings during the entire performance of the long and well selected programme. -ss- CF The Salisbury Herald says "Mr. Buchanan is a foeman worthy of the steel of such a statesman as Fillmore," and adds, "May our bleeding country never be Pierced again!" On the 4th of November next "old Buck" will make your bleeding "Sam" exclaim, "May I never be Bucked up again!" ' O THE BIBLE AGAINST KNOW-NOTHINGISM. Our friend, Mr. John Capps, a gentleman well versed in Biblical subjects, a poet of no ordinary fame, and a zealous opponent of Know-Nothingism, calls our attention to the following passages of scripture, show ing that the Bible is directly against the principles of that sacrilegious party: The 32d, 33d, and 34th verses of Leviticus, 19th chapter, reads: "Thcu shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God; I am the Lord. And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one bom among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt : I am the Lord your God." "The stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among yow," &c. Remember this, pious Know-Nothings. - The North Carolina Celebration. The last Greensboro' Patriot contains the following strange announcement: "The committee of arrangements in r la- tion to the celebration of the completion of the N. C Rail Road, have had the same under their consideration, and for various reasons' unnecessary to mention here, but well understood in this community, have i agreed to dispense with the celebration entirely. Committee, j The partyism introduced into the affairs of this road by the "Greensboro" candi date for Governor, (Mr. Gilmer) has proba bly something to do with the determination not to celebrate. GPThe Raleigh Christian Advocate says: On last Saturday, as the cars stopped at "Wake Forest College," some students of the College, and a number of students on the cars from the University, began to taunt each other. From words they came to blows ; missiles were thrown, and a pis tol was fired. No serious damage was done, however ; but unless the young gentlemen will hereafter refrain from such amusement, some serious harm will be done to somebo dy. "Love your neighbors as you love vourself," said a parson to an honest mem ber of his flock. "The Lord help him, then, for I :jte myself like pizen, ever since I joined the Kuow-Nothings, last fall. POOR PROPHETS The Know-Nothing papers before the Convention met, were filled with predictions of "rare sport" at Cincinnati. There was to be a "regular muss" "the grandest sort of a tow." (We quote from an article in the Columbia Era.) But all their hopes have been blasted. All there, was "union, harmony every thing for the cause, noth ing for men," and thus the sport turns out to Know-Nothingism like that to the frogs pelted with stones by the boys. Union. -The "Hards" and the "Softs" of New Y'ork, unite in the support of Buchanan and Breekenridge. There is now a perfect union on the national candi dates, and that great State may be set down as certain for the Democrats in November. A fusion Hard and Soft Demo cratic Convention has been called, to meet at Syracuse on the 10th of July. Israel J. Hatch, of Buffalo, New Y'ork, is spoken of as the candidate who will be selected for Governor, and a union Presidential Elec toral ticket will be formed. CF Some of the Know-Nothing journals don't like the name of "Breekenridge." Strange to say, the same journals, not long since, thought the name of Frelinghuysen beautiful ! Hurra ! say we, for Buchanan, Breekenridge, and Bragg! or, as our juvenile Democrats sing it out: "Hurra, for Buck, Breck, and Bragg! The three B's will sting Know-Nothingism into fits." tW The Wilmington Herald says the nomination of Mr. Breekenridge, instead of Mr. Dobbin, "in effect gives the State (North Carolina) to Fillmore aud Donelson "a consummation devoutly to be wished." Lay not that flattering unction to your soul, Mr. Herald. Sam and Solouque havo about an equal chance for the vote of North Carolina in November. Rail Road Celebration. A grand celebration of the completion of the Dan ville and Richmond (Va.) Rail Road, will take place at Danville, on Thursday next. Several thousands of people will be present. The Greensboro' Times says: "We see invitations circulating tolerably freely for the approaching Rail Road Cele bration, which takes place in Danville, Va., on Thursday the 19th instant. We expect they will have a great time, and we may be among the number, but present or absent, we hope they will not forget, in their re joicings, that the road is to be extended to Greensboro', and form a connection with the North Carolina Rail Road. This is a necessity of the age. It is the thing for North Carolina, which we feel able to show to any unbiased doubting mind. But huzza for the Danville celebration on the 19th instant !" RTThe Black Republican Abolition Con vention meets at Philadelphia to-day, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President. Chase and McLean, of Ohio, and Fremont, of California, will be amongst the names for the honor of a nomination. Charleston Ratification Meeting. A meeting to ratify the recent nominations at Cincinnati, is announced to take place at Charleston, S. C, on Thursday evening next. The Hons. Stephen A. Douglas, James L. Orr, and Preston S. Brroks, will address the meeting. Destructive Hail Storm. We learn from the Greensboro' Patriot that a hail storm passed over the northern part of Guilford and the Southern part of Rock ingham counties, on Monday, the 9th inst., which did serious damage to the farmers. Some of the hail stones measured 9 inches in circumference. Wrheat, corn, pigs, win dow lights, gardens, birds, &c. suffered se verely, EF Peter Johnson, a white man, was hung at Greensboro, N. C, on Friday the 6th instant, for the murder of Yancey Dia mond. The "Patriot" states that a painful scene occurred at the gallows. Johnson being large and corpulent weighing more than two hundred as he swung off, the rope broke and he fell to the ground. The rope was then made three double, which proved sufficient to sustain his weight. He denied the killing to the last, and accused some of the witnesses of swearing falsely. . Enthusiasm. A meeting to form a Fill more and Donelson Club, in one of the wards of New-York, was announced a few days since. Two persons attended. m Recovering. Mr. Buell, the Editor of the Democratic Review, of Washington city, who was stabbed in Cincinnati, is re covering. The wound penetrated the lungs, producing an aperture through which the breath escaped, in a volume strong enough to blow out a candle. The vile perpetra tor, who took offence at some remarks in Mr. B.'s speech, has not been discovered. MARRIED, On Thursday morning, the t2t instant, by the Rav. John K. Picket, Mr. T. S. Kidulc, Printer, ot Lancaster, S. C to Miss Sarah L. Marks, daughter ol Mr. Henry Marks, ot Steele Creek, Mecklenburg county. The happy couple have our thanks for a remem brancer, on ihis joyous occasion, in the torm of a pound cake. "Fair bride a wreath tor thee: Of sweet and geuile flowers; For wedded love w as pure and free In Eden's happy bowers. Fair bride a song for ihee !

On Saturday evening last, the Democrats had an interesting and pleasant meeting at the Court-House. They assembled mainly for a business purpose, but they were unex pectedly favored with an entertainment not anticipated. They had assembled to form a Democratic Club, when it was ascertain- ed that they had in the room an eloquent Democrat from Raleigh. Wm. R. Myers, Esq., was appointed to the Chair, and Dr. H. M. Pritchard, Secretary. A committee, consisting of R. P. Waring, Thomas H. Brem, J. B. Kerr, J. L. Cald well, and John Harty. was appointed to re port officers for the Democratic Association. The Committee retiring, loud calls were made for E. G. Haywood, Esq., of Raleigh. Mr. H. being introduced to the meeting, responded to the call in a speech of about oue hour's length, argumentative and able throughout. The beauties of Know-Nothingism and Fillmoreism, Mr. H. showed up with a master's hand. At tho rnneliisi.m of his elooueut speech, the Committee reported the names of Dr. H. M. Pritchard, for President of the Dem ocratic Association, Leroy Springs, Esq. for Vice-President, and J. J. Palmer, Se cretary, which nominations were unani mously confirmed by the meeting. The meeting then adjourned. 0 r" THE MECHANICS' BRASS BAND. This Association of Musicians, composed of about a dozen young gentlemen of our town, attended, by invitation, the Demo cratic meeting at the Court-House, on Sa turday evening last, and by their excellent music, added much to enliven aud to the entertainment of the proceedings of the evening. They played in admirable style many favorite airs, on their fine and brilliant brass instruments, eliciting rapturous ap plause from the assemblage. Ratification Meeting.
