SYNOD OF NORTH CAROLINA.
We learn from the Fayotteville Observer,
that this body convened at the Presbyterian
Church in Fayetteville on Wednesday, 12th
instant, the Bar. E. W. Caruthers, Modera

DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE,
And Torch Light Procession,
7.V CHARLOTTE, N. C.
Thursday night last, the Democratic
jubilee and rejoicing at the election of Mr
Buchanan, took place. It was an occasion
that will be long remembered by those who
witnessed the display made by the illumina
tion, transparencies and fire-works.
At sunrise, a salute of one gun was fired
for each State that voted the democratic
ticket, and half-hour guns during the day.
At night a bon-fire was kindled in the
public square, and several thousand people
assembled, a large number being in at
tendance from the country. A procession
was formed by chief-marshal Townley, aid
ed by John Rigler, W. A. Lonergan, C.
Davis, F. W. Ahrens and Rob't Shaw, as
sistant marshals, and accompanied by an
excellent band of music, with transparen
cies of all sizes and colors, marched through
the principal streets of the town.
There were forty-two transparencies in
the procession, with a great number of
mottoes. We copy a few, as follows:

Let the South be united to love and defend
hiin.
s'juare, wuere u piauorm was ereeieu, anu
the speeches of the evening were made.
The first speaker introduced was the
Elector for this District, Mr Waring, who
made a short and appropriate address.
Hon. Dan'l M. Barringer was next in
troduced. He congratulated the people on
the triumph of Mr Buchanan, and alluded
to the dangerous position of the Union
previous to the late election. He said that
for the safe delivery of the Union from a
perilous situation, we might thank the
national democracy.
James W. Osborne, Esq., next appeared
on the stand amid the applause of the
multitude, and reviewed the past in a pathe-
! tic and eloquent manner. Six months afro,

27.07!) j thanked providence that right had triumph-
ed over wrong, and the greatest nation on
the face of the earth preserved.
Wm. Lander, Esq., of Lincoln, was
loudly called for. He made a beautiful
and appropriate speech,-and was greeted
with cheer after cheer. The crowd was so
dense around the stand that it was not con
venient to got a position whero we could
hear all tho remarks of the gentleman, but
wc know they suited the occasion and
gratified all present.
After the speaking, the fire-works wero
displayed at tho Depot. Rockets and
Roman Candles were set off in large num
bers, together with fire-wheels, &c.
The illumination of the town was the
most beautiful exhibition of the kind we
ever saw. Upwards of fifty business houses
were lighted the three story buildings
presenting a magnificient appearance. A
largo number of dwellings were illuminated
and made a tine display.
It affords us gratification to say that
several Fillmore men joined in the general
rejoicing .and illuminated their houses.
They thus manifested their appreciation of
the triumph of southern rights; and al
though their favorite did not succeed, they
very properly rejoice at the overthrow of
black republicanism.
We must not forget to mention the fact
that the ladies turned out in great numbers,
and testified their approval of the demonstra
tion by their presence and smiles. Know
ing their fine discrimination between right j
and wrong, tho correctness of their judg
ment in matters pertaining to virtue and
sound morals, and the rectitude of their in
tentions, the democracy feel complimented
by this free-will offering on their part.
At half-past ten o'clock tho company
adjourned in order.
Everything passed off in good feeling ;
and good humor. Everybody appeared
pleased, and we do not think there was
anything said calculated to offend a mem
ber of any party except tho Fremont
faction, and but one of that stripe was pres
ent, and he rodo the woollv horse.
GT After going through a warm cam-
paign, it is no small gratification or com- thc 5odv, nd his left arm and thigh broken,

COUNTY FAIR, f
Thursday next the Agricultural Fair
for this county takes place. Let there be
a general turn out on that occasion. Give
one day to the encouragement of Agricul
ture. The Fair will continue Thursday
and Friday.
The following "pome invitations;" was
prepared by our foreman :
Ye people all, of every name,
Who grace this famous section,
Come, listen, while I offer you
A thought for your reflection.
I merely wish to say a word
About our County Fair,
And give to each and every one
An invitation clear.
Come, then, ye farmers of the land,
Bring on your sheep and oxen;
And mention to the ladies, that
We need some woollen socks on.
Ye tillers of the soil, come.
And bring its rich production;
And tell the ladies, one and all,
To send their geese and ducks on.
Also, your Turnips and your Corn,
Your Flour and Potatoes,
Your Grapes and Wine, and Barley fine,
Your Pickles and Tomatos.
The Chickens, too, the Pootras, bring
A sample of each kind,
The Brahmas, Shanghais, too, will all
A pic-us people find.
Mechanics, too, your place is here,
And each one represented;
You know it never would be Fair,
Unless your work's presented.
Then bring along your handy-work,
Your "phinc and pliancy phixens',"
And show the folks what brains can do
When stirred with proper mixens'.
Ladies, on you I humbly call,
To heed this invitation,
And give your presence, one and all,
To grace this grand occasion.
And also, bring the fancy work
Your fairy hands have finished,
With skill that always marked your sex,
And time has not diminished.
The time is short, the day draws nigh,
What further need I say?
Come one and all, both great and small,
Come, come to the Fair I pray.
Assort.

LOOK AT THIS, YE MEN OF THE
SOUTH.
The Socretar' of one of the meetings in
Philadelphia, addressed by Kenneth Ray
nor, of North Carolina, previous to the lato
election, refuses to endorse his (Rayner's)
conduct. The gentleman publishes a card,
saying that Rayner wont to Philadelphia at
the invitation of Fremont Leaders! ! .' and
if he (a Northern man) had known that fact
beforehand, his name would never have
been connected with the meeting. A South
ern man playing second fiddle to the Aboli
tionists ! what a spectacle !
Now see what this man Rayner said to the
abolitionists about Southern men. Here
arc a few extracts :
"Why, ithas got to be a very common thing
here in the South for the most true and re
liable men among us to be denounced as
unsound on the slavery question' as
'tinctured with abolitionism' by these con
temptible party hucksters, THAT COULD
BE BOUGHT BY ANY ABOLITIONIST
AT THE NORTH, ANY DAY IN THE
YEAR, FOR MUCH LESS THAN THE
PRICE OF AN ORDINARY NEGRO."
K. Jiainer's Letter.
"Ho was not one of those who believed
the Locofocos, at least those whom he knew
at home, were any special lovers of our
glorious national Union. Their course
proved only too clearly that they were uil
lin? to jeopard it all to carry their awn
BASE PURPOSES, and to secure to them
selves the seventy millions of spoils for an
other four years." Kenneth Rayner's
speech in P)iiladelj)hia.
"Mr Rayner then went on with this ex
coriation of the Buchanan part'. He de
nounced them, and showed that they were
the slaves of slavery and foreigners." Mr
Rayner s Philadelphia sjiccch, reported in
the "Sun."
''And these men who make the charge
are all Democrats yes, I have been charg
ed with abolitionism bv men who WOULD
JOIN IN A NEGRO" INSURRECTION
ANY NIGHT IN THE YEAR, if the ne
groes would agree to give them a good fat
orhce when they should get in power. '
Kenneth Rayner's speech in Philadelphia,
reported i?t the "Times1
.
"Woman, Union and Annexation," was
tho motto on one of tho transparencies
Thursday night. Tbe sentiment is a good
one, and ought to bo carried into practice by
every respectable man competent to pro
vide dinner for two. It is tho duty of a
good democrat to vote for the democratic
nominees and get married if he can.
The Next Congress. There have
been elected, so far, in seventeen States 63
Democrats and 87 opposition to the next
Congress. This is a gain of about GO Dem
ocratic members.
FOREIGN NEWS.
The steamer Europa arrived at Nw York
on the 13th inst. The foreign Cotton mark
et is reported generally firm, except in lower
qualities, which have declined an eighth.
The feature of the news which has crea
ted most attention is an official paragraph
in the Monite ir complaining of the English
press publishing calumnies against tho
French Government, and holding out the
menace that a continuance of such conduct
Will break up the Anglo-French alliance.
This paragraph causes some excitement
both in England and France, having affect
ed the Paris Bourse. It is reported that
the English Government will ask an expla
nation of tho threat to dissolve tho alliance.
Accident. On Thursday a man named
Joseph Blizzard, residing in Fairfield dis-
j trjctt in a state of intoxication laiu upon inc

THE END.
The late election sealed the fate of know
nothingism. It was the end of one of the
grandest humbugs and one of the most
corrupt parties that ever gained foothold
in a free and enlightened country.
The know-nothing organization was con
ceived and nurtured by certain individuals
for the sole purpose of getting possession
of the government on the 4th of March, 1857.
The democracy had overwhelmed the old
whig party with defeat, and the ambitious
men of that party knew that it would re
quire some scheming and an extraordinary
effort to get into power again. One of the
main objects of the secret party was to
operate during the last Presidential elec
tion, and when it first began to spread
through the country, many flocked into its
recesses with various objects in view
some after popularity, some after office,
some for pecuniary advantages, and a few
joined for the purpose of curtailing the in
fluence of Roman Catholics and foreigners.
All who joined were egregiously deceived,
as they deserved to be. Know-nothingism
received a death-blow before tho Presiden
tial canvass commenced.
Tho time will come when it will require
a mass of testimony to prove that a man in
this country joined a party like the mis
called "American party."
A few old whigs held out against the
new party, and some rather than act with
it preferred to join the democracy. Those
whigs who refused to desert their openly
avowed principles for an oath-bound fac
tion, now have cause to congratulate them
selves. Kuow-nothiugism has passed away
(or at least become entirely powerless) and
most of its devotees have crawled back to
the whig ranks, and are now claiming to be
old line ichigs! They are iudeed beautiful
pinks of whiggery at one time publicly
asserting that the whig party was corrupt
and deserved to die.
Democracy has achieved another victory
over a combination of isms. What we
shall next have to fight has not yet been
revealed.

MORMON EXCLTJSIVENESS.
Recent letters from Salt Lake say that
to such an extent is the hatred of those peo
ple to tho United States employees, and
others who have not been inoculated with
the beauties of Mormouism, carried, that in
their dealings with them they treat them in
all respects as a proscribed race, with
whom it is sinful to have any sort of deal
ings. Thus a Mormon owing a debt to a "Gen
tile " is openly enjoined fr;r.i the Taberna
cle not to discharge Ins obligation to him,
and to allow himself to be sued and have
all his property taken from him rather than
disobey the injunction. Again, Brigham
Young tells his people that any man who
sells a bushel of wheat to a Gentile will
have to give the same amount for the bene
fit of the church; and that if such traffic
be persisted in all his effects will be confis
cated. An account is given of the attempt
ed assassination of Mr. Troskolawski, a
United State--, Deputy Surveyor, by the
notorious Bill Hickman and three of his
"Danite " associates, for tho expression of
opinions adverse to Mormonism. Not only
was this cowardly act suffered to pass un
punished by the magistrate, but it received
the approval of the Mormon elders in their
addresses to tho "faithful" in the Taber
nacle. Judge Douglas' Marriage. A Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Herald, soys :
Judge Douglas is expected here about
the middle of next week. Shortly after his
arrival I believe the day is not yet fixed
he is to be united to the very embodi
ment of youth, beaut' and accomplishments;
indeed, she has been considered the belle of
the city for some time. Miss Coutts, for
that is her name, is from one of the oldest
families iu Virginia. The knot is to be
tied in this citv, in the holv Catholic church
for she is a Catholic and the highest
dignitaries of tho land will assist at the
gala.
Marriage and Suicide. Tho Union
(N. Y.) Democrat of the 24th ult ., says:
"Mr George Garrott, of Paris Hill, Onei
da county, N. Y., who has been living for
the year past in Chicago, Illinois, came on,
pursuant to engagement, to Claryvill, Sul
livan county, on the 14th of October, and
was there married to Miss St. John adopt
ed daughter of Col. G. E. Bushnell, on 16th.
On the morning of the 17th he stepped out
of the house without attacting any par
ticular notice, cr saying anything to excito
suspicion, or intimating an intention to
leave, but be did not return. Search was
made for him, and towards evening his body
was found about one milo from Clary ville 1
in tho woods. He had hung himself with
his handkerchief.
