TO THE DEMOCRACY OF THE SEVENTH DISTRICT. Before another issue of our paper can roach most of our subscribers, the elections wiU be over. Wo therefore desire to make another and last appeal to our political friends to turn out on Thursday the Gth (.f ngnst, and vote for Burton Craigo and for Free Suffrage and equal rights. Don't forget Fr Suffrage, a measure that ought to meet the approbation of every free white man. A friend has handed US tho following ap peal, which wc insert in place of any fur- iher remarks of our own : Mu Editor : After so violent a political stomas distracted the country last Fall it i- -tri :tly hi accordance with political laws that there should he for a time a calm. The country, reposing unbounded confidence in the nationality and sound conservatism of the Administration, lias relaxed its vigilance and left the "good old ship of State'' to lloat leisurely along without the least apprehen sion of Ik r striking a rock or tunning against n breaker. We have an Executive whose whole record justifies and encourages thi trust. But he must be sustained in Congress lv uim of the j iglit stamp, or his 1 -t exertions and h1 intentions will he fruitless. In this District never within the memory of man were our opponents more njtifin disheartened and subdued. The I,u. IJiirton Craige lias now the field to bimself, and from all a pjciranees will con tiuue todoso. But, brother democrats, we ii i'i linn and tit- glorious principles he has always so ably and faithfully represent' cj, to turn out on the first Thursday in August and give him a plumping vole. 1'ermil one who has fought the secret or ganization since its arrival here from Yan keedoni to warn you against a too blind ,-,,ii;1 ne in your own strength. llal .Mr Craige wj.ru opposition and an animated contest, bis majority would not be less than ;j,iu u. Inr wily foes know that, hence the stillness thai precedes the storm. It is rumored lull ; leading member of tbe know mthing imrty will be voted for for Congress at every precinct in every county in the INtrict. VVe have reason lo believe that th, party organization of our opponents is complete and effective now as ever it was. They will poll their full vote. Remember thai I heir organization is a secret one; their movements are known only ti the initiated, and ibey aspect on the day of election to take ns by surprise. They know that is the only way t)o-y call ever hope to succeed. We have no desire to see parfy auiinosities revived hen our safely as a people depend noon a union of the South for the sake of tie Sooth. I ut we owe it to ourselves to see that the will of the majority is not de feated by the minority. This is an iiiiNrtaut election the first in the Stale since the man ti'tirnt ion of Presi dent Jinchnnan. The moral effect of a largo vote will have a beneficial mflunco in en couraging llie friends of the Constitution and I'm! South, and in intimidating end crushing (Hit our domestic foes. l.et us then Ins on the alert give one day to our party and principles and all will Pie well.

The specimen is a line one. am was broken front a rock in a cultivated field on a slight elevation. Tbe indications are that the precious metal exists to a con siderable extent in that neighborhood. No further examinations haveyct been made. .

The Greensboro Patriot ba be, u sneering and trying lo poke fun ':t Mr iiliams, lUi he evidently gave the Patriot editors and the Samites generally some uneasiness, else why did Mr Waddell hack out after declaring that lie would "do EouiHhing or break something." "Step," a- they called him, scared them and they begged or hired Waddell off the track. Rut we --a ss Maurice J. Waddell would not have none much harm if he had con tinued in the field.

EDUCATIONAL MEETING A meeting of the citizens of Charlotte was held iu the Court House on Saturday evening last for the purpose of considering the educational interests of the Town. W. R. Myers, Esq., was called to preside. After an explanation of the object of the meeting by the Chairman, Col. W. A. Williams made a statement in regard to the Female College building now in course of construction. It is expected that in about a month the building will be finished. Its cost has been, thus far, $11,500, which has been paid, leaving about 1,000 still in the Treasury. About $2,500 more must be raised to complete tho edifice and enclose it. After some appropriate remarks from Messrs. Johnston, Young, Hutchison, Wil son and P. J. Lowrie, as to tho importance of getting the Institution in successful operation, Gen. Young offered tho follow ing resolutions, which were adopted: Whereas we have heard with much grati fication tho report of Col. Williams in re gard to the near completion of the Female Collego building, and as the sum of $2,500 is still necessary to complete the same ready for use, Resolved, That a committee ho appoint ed to take subscriptions to raise tho sum necessary for that purpose. Resolved, That we do hereby tender as surances of our gratitude to Col. Williams for the elegant College edifice which he has reared with so much energy and architec tural taste. Win. Johnston and Gen. Young were ap pointed iu accordance with the first resolu tion. On motion, the chairman was added to the committee. Dr. C. J. Fox offered the following resolu tions, which were adopted: Resolved, That the interests of educa tion and of our community require the open ing of a first class Male School iu the Town of Charlotte. Resolved, That wo approve of tho Mili tary feature which has been so successfully introduced into modern Academies, and that our Trustees, iu conjunction with a commit tee of three, be requested to advertise at once and make all the efforts necessary for opening a School of thai character by the 1 st of h tober next; and that wc jdedge our selves to co-operate with them and whoever tin y may secure as a Principal, in sustain ing the same. Dr. Fox, T. II. Urem and P.J. Lowrie wen: appointed a committee iu accordance with the above. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the male school committee. We were gratified to see so much interest manifested on the subject by those present at tin- meeting. Several gentlemen made remarks, urging the importance of establish ing first class male and female schools here at home, where our youth could he educated without sending them abroad. Indeed, it is a matter iu which ('Very individual member of the community aught to feel a lively in terest. By affording educational facilities of the grade contemplated, thousands of dollars that are now annually expended abroad will be disbursed at home, and thus benefit all interests and classes in tho com munity. - . Latest Fokehjn News. An arrival from Europe on the 24th reports a slight ad vance in Cotton and corn, and a decline in Flour. In the English Parliament the Jewish oath hill has been rejected by a large majority. Some disturbances have taken place inSpain . Vokim; Women to a Plow. A short time .ago the inquiry was made if there ever was such a thing seen in the United States as a woman yoked to a plow in the place of a horse. Ti e question has been answered by a Virginia editor who states that be beard of a mat near Charlotte, N.C., named Cox stick fteorge we presume who. having no horse, hitched his wife and daughter t a plow for the purpose of ploughing up his garden. "Unable to pull it, lie in turn became horse and ordered his wife and daughter to drive. After a round or two, be became unruly, and de spile tbe efforts of the fair drive rs, ran off and broke the plow; for permitting which he gave the drivers a severe switching." We b arn tbat the above is correct ex cept in one or two particulars. George, like many other men of note, is heirless, so we are informed. The story about here runs thus: George, after trying the strength of his wife, come to the wise and gallant conclusion to pull the plow himself, strictly charging his wife not to let him run away, lie went but a short distance in the furrow before be became frightened at a stump, kicked up, broke out of har ness, and ran off and climbed a In c. He tried to get his wife to coax bim down with a bolile "' f'tddcr, which she refused to do, whereupon, it is said, George used the rod of correction. Wo know George to lie a right good fol low, except when stimulated, then be plays the jews harp well and sings 'trouble over,' with variations. His main fault (which we divulge privately and confidentially,) is that be bates work like a know-nothing does the Pope of Rome. KANSAS. Within the past week we have had im portant news from Kansas. First, we have news that ov. Walker had issued a procla mation against tbe free State men of Law rence for setting at defiance and opposing the territorial laws. Next, we have news of the assembling of ' the Topeka free State Convention, at which it was declared that Kansas should bo ad- j mitted into the Union under the Topeka (abolition; constitution, and Lane was di rected to organize tho people to defend the ballot boxes at the October elections. The last news states that Gov. Walker was inarching on the town of Lawrence with seven companies of U. S. troops, with the intention of settling matters peaceably if . possible, hut forcibly if necessary. The free State men wort fnthcriiiff at Lttwroucc and had held a meeting at which it was de termined to resist Walker and his troops. The Governor was going to Lawrence for the purpose of arresting the city authorities. From the above it might be inferred that Walker is not succumbing to abolitionism as much as knowaothing papers would have US believe. THE GREAT QUESTION. While we have been ready to acknow ledge that the Kansas Governor, Walker, deserved censure for some of his expres sions since he has been in the territory, yet we cannot view bis course, in the main, as being any other than a correct one. We are aware that we differ with many of our political friends and all our opponents on this point, but we think that the principles advocated by southern men, and emphati cally approved at the ballot box last Novem ber, will sustaiu us in this honest difference of opinion. We do not presume to censure democrats who take a different view of the matter not at all but we have thought that a great deal of the complaint that has been entered against Walker originated from a misapprehension of facts. When Walker told the people of Kansas that tho work of their Constitutional Con vention ought to he submitted to them for ratification at the ballot box, he did right, and acted in accordauco with the leading principle enunciated in the Kansas-Nebraska bill a law which went farther towards acknowledging and sustaining the rights of the South iu the Territories than any ever passed by Congress. In order that the peo ple of Kansas might be unembarrassed in the management of their own affairs, that odious, unfair and unjust restriction, tho Missouri Compromise, was declared inop erative and void by the act organizing tho Territory , with the following explanation attached: "It being the true intent and meaning of this act, not to legislative slavery into any territory or State, nor to exclude it there from, but to leave THE PEOPLE perfect ly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way." Thus all powers of legislation was trans ferred to " the Territory' in its entirety, and not to its Legislative or any other par ticular department of its government. Now, we contend, that submitting the Con stitution to the poople of the territory, to be passed upon by them, is not a departure from the spirit of tho law, but in exact ac cordance with it. We should not desire to force a Constitution on the people of Kan sas that did not meet the approbation of a majority of the actual residents. The South has always avowed a desire to leave the question of slavery iu the territories to the inhabitants thereof, and we cannot be lieve that she is willing to forsake this just principle by forcing her institutions on Kansas whether or not a majority of tho people are willing. We are certain that North Carolinians would demand the right of voting for or against a Constitution that might be formed for the government of the Slate. Should we be found denying the same privilege to the people of a terri tory? Rut when Walker said that unless the Constitution was submitted to the people, it ought to be rejected by Congress and that he would favor its rejection, and also ex pressed the opinion that the soil of Kansas was not suitable for slave labor, ho did wrong and thus departed from his legiti mate business. These expressions were no doubt made without mature reflection, Hut few public speakers escape without giving vent to improper expressions sometimes. We do not believe that the President, or any national democrat, justifies Walker's course in this respect. Our political opponents have seized upon this Kansas difficulty with tho hope of in juring the Administration and defeating the democratic party. Wo hear a great deal of complaint against Mr Ruchanan because he sustains Walker and refuses to remove him. Know-nothing papers have raised a great hue and cry because, say they, tbe instructions issued to Walker justify his course. There is nothing iu the instruc tions to justify Walker in using the lan guage to which we have objected there is nothing in the instructions which a na tional southern man ought to be offended at. Mr Buchanan has acted in good faith with the South hia record leaves no room for doubt as to the principle which has always controlled his public life. We defy his enemies to point to a single act since his inauguration as President, that will palliate in the least the abuse they are now heaping upon him. They are howling '-traitor, treason," .V:c. if they can sustain their assertions let them do it we challenge them to a showing. The pro-slavery men of Kansas approve the policy adopted by the Administration, and the abolitionists and free State papers in the territory disapprove and oppose it. Atchison and StringfeUow, leading southern men in the territory, are satisfied with the course pursued, and, it is stated, they are sustaining Walker. And as long as the principle of the Kansas-Nebraska bill is adhered to by the Administration, national men every where will yield a cheerful sup port. m 17T The Editor of the Wilmington Jour nal, who attended the late Commencement exercises at Davidson College, speaking of the proceedings on Thursday, says : "Thursday was, strictly speaking, com mencement day. After prayer, the first business was the inauguration of W. C Kerr, A. M., as Professor of Chemistry, Mineralogy and Geology. As marking the denominational character of the institution, we may mention that three questions were propounded to the new Professor to which affirmative answers were required. Do you believe in the Christian Religion? Do you believe in the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church as existing in the United States ? v;il i-rtii tenr-h none others ? These mav not he tho precise words, but they give the ineaniug with sufficient accuracy. We were assured by the students that no at tempt is made to force any doctrines of any particular Church upon them, still we could see no necessary connection between Chem istry and Calvinism, and the obligation to teach no other doctrines than those of the Presbyterian Church, struck as a little strangely, as we saw no necessity for the mixing of any merely doctrinal points with the studies under the Professors charge. This was only the impression made upon us which we give without comment. The in stitution has a perfect right to adopt any rule of the kind it pleases, and no one is de ceived, as its Presbyterian character is plainly avowed. We merely remark we do not complain." THE NORTHERN DEMOCRACY. Recent events have afforded the opposi tion press in this State and elsewhere an opportunity to renew their slanders against the democracy of the North, by charging abolitionism and infidelity to constitutional rights upon it. The Raleigh Register, Fayetteville Argus, Wilmington Herald, Greensboro Patriot, &c, are terribly ex ercised at what they c onsider faithlessness on the part of Northern Democrats. They thus show a want of that commendable traifc of character, gratitude ; for how could the rights of the South been maintained in our national councils without the aid of north ern democrats ? Have not northern demo crats stood by us in the past 1 Let us glance at the record, and judge them by their actions. In 1645, when Florida was an applicant for admission into the Union as a slave State, the vote stood thus : In the House, northern democrats, yeas 5S, nays 4 members of all other parties of the North numbering 37, voted in the negative. In the Senate, all the northern democrats, num bering 12, voted in the affirmative, while northern men of other parties, numbering 1), voted against admission. When tho annexation of Texas was a question before Cougress, who supported it and who opposed it ? In the House, 37 northern democrats voted for it, and only 3 against it. Not a single man from the North of any other parly voted for it all, number ing 40, voted against it. For the adoption of the Fugitive Slave Law tho vote stood, northern democrats, yeas 28, nays 14; all others from the north, yeas 3, nays 02. Rut three northern votes outside of the democratic party ! On the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska hill and tho repeal of an odious restriction on southern men, in the House of Repre sentatives tho vote stood, northern demo crats, yeas 45, nays 38. Not one northern man of any other party voted for the bill. They all, to the number of 54, voted against it. In the Senate, 14 northern democrats voted for the bill and 4 against it. Mem bers of all other parties from the North voted against it. Thus we sec that had it not been for North Democrats (who are so much ridi culed by know-nothing papers at the South and by the abolitionists of the North) the slave States of Florida and Texas would not have been admitted into the Union; the Fugitive Slave Law would not have been passed, and southern rights in the Terri tories would not have been acknowledges Really, it does seem to us that our op position friends ought to remember these things before they indulge iu abuse of north ern democrats. Do we not owe a debt of gratitude to such northern men as Pierce, Ruchanan, Cass, Richardson, Pugh, Jones, Douglass, and a host of others who have breasted the popular current at the North, battled for our rights and secured them by their votes? Certainly southern men ought to be the last ones to turu against them. Whenever the South loses their support the union of these United States is at an end. Our political opponents know this, but tlielr old hatred of the democratic party prevents them from acknowledging it. " The perils of good living to persons of sedentary habits are not very strikingly exhibited in the history of Rev. Mr Daves, rector of Staunton-upon-Wyed, who died at the age of 105 years. He made a hearty breakfast upon hot rolls, buttered, with a large supply of tea and coffee. His dinner was substantial, and frequently consisted of a variety of dishes. At supper, he ate hot roast meat, and always drank wine, but never to excess. He died peaceably, in the full possesson of all his faculties, mental and corporal." Hx. Paper. If any of our readers want to die peace ably, and early, too, let them try the above course of diet. In one year their stomachs will feel like a pot of boiling water and , their heads like a wind-mill with a brick in I it. Try it. . A CORRECT VIEW. The Columbia (S. C.) Times, in an ar ticle on the Kansas difficulties, takes the following correct and sensible view of the matter : "That she (Kansas wou'd come into the Union as a Slave State, was always a ques tion of great doubt, to us. That it would have remained "pro-slavery," even had it effected its admission as such, was still more doubtful. Its climate forbidding out door labor for seven months in the twelve its distance from the great marts of our country its position iu the rear of the great State of Missouri, which with the advan tage of position, was to be its established competitor for every staple, it could pro duce its tortuous and difficult navigation all, combined to declare that it was not to be permanently if ever, tho abiding place of our institutions. Rut there was yet another difficulty in the way the gist of tbe whole matter perhaps and a diffi culty which we very much fear will always supervene regardless of isothermal lines and unfortunate positions, so long as the South shad content herself with free State dictation as to her peculiar policy. Tbe South is unable to colonize. She has already with her fifteen States, more territory by over three bundled thousand square miles, than the sixteen Northern States, which have an excess of population as compared to us of six millions. The at tempt of the South, therefore, to make a slave State of Kansas was a sort of hot-led forcing and it failed. Colonization can only be successful when the result of abun dant population. It is the hardy and ad . venturous with small means and large com i petition at home who seek such outlets. ! The Sotherner owning but few slaves was I not so stupid as to prefer the risks aud j difficulties of Kansas to the security of I home or markets of the South -West- We I repeat, then, that the true cause of our .1.. . 1 ianure in tnis instance, was uecause we had no excess of laboring population, with which to compete with the free States and their annual influx of half a million of emi grants. That other causes have materially assisted toward this result we have already admitted but this after all underlies the whole stratum, and how under the circum stances, wc could ever have had well founded prospects for securing this Terri tory is, wo confess beyond our comprehen sion. Wasiiixctox, July 23. Official dis patches were to-day received from Kansas, including a letter from Governor Walker, defending himself from southern strictures and detailing the condition of affairs in Law rence, in justification of his present conduct. TERRIBLE AFFAIR IN GOLDSBORO Ry a letter received here this morning, we learn that a most painful occurrence took place yesterday in Goldsboro', result ing most probably, ere this time, in serious loss of life. It seems that some difficulty had existed between Dr. Davis and a German a Jew, we believe of the namo of Odenheimer, and it seems that some time last week the Dr. had caned the other. Yesterday, Odonhi mer warranted Davis, and the parties met for trial before a Magistrate, in the store of Messrs Washington & Andrews. It would appear that Odenheimer was very insulting in his language to Dr. Davis, calling him a liar, or using words to that effect, and Davis was about to lay hold of a little fire shovel to strike hiin, Odenheimer's step-son drew a pistol and shot Davis, the ball entering just about the lower end of the lungs, on tho right side, and lodging in tho back. The Odonheimers, father and son fired in all five shots, and as the elder had his pistol to Dr, Davis' head toshoothim again, young Winfield Robinson, a nephew of the Dr.'s, snatched up a spade and struck Odenhei mer on tho head, knocking him down, and fracturing his skull shockingly. This turn ed the direction of the pistol so that the con tents, intended for Davis, entered the back of the younger Odenheimer, near the back bone. Thus the tragedy closed. Odenhei mer and son are in jail and neither expected to live, although there are some hopes of the younger. It is supposed to bo impossible for the old man to survive. Dr. Cogdell took out a spoonful of brains. Dr. Davis was removed to Dr. Cray ton's office where he remained at last accounts. It was feared that he could not survive the night. He had no weapon whatever at tho time of the occurrence. Mrs. Davis is deep ly atl'ected, and, owing to her critical situa tion, fears are entertained for her life, too. It is needless to say that the excitement iu Goldsboro' is of the most painful character. It seems Odenheimer had warranted Dr. Davis, which led to the caning of last week. The trial before the Magistrate was with reference to this latter occurrence. Wil mington Journal of the 24t instant. The Wilmington Herald of the 25th says: " Dr. Davis at last accounts was better, 5c some hopes were entertained of his recovery. The elder Odenheimer it was thought would dio ; the younger Odenheimer would proba bly recover. The German residents were forced to leave Goldsboro', and one who per sisted in remaining was ducked and ridden on a rail. m mm A large number of Children Poisoned. In Cincinnati, on the 23d inst., about 20 children were poisoned by eating lozenges, supposed to have contained Arsenic, which were scattered through the streets by a man and two boys. Two have died, and others are not expected to live. . A Rich Regoau. In Montgomery Ala., on the 10th iust., a man named Runn was arrested while engaged in begging for funds to remove .his family (as he stated) from Maryland to Missouri. On his person were found certificates of deposit6 and drafts to the amount, $5,500. Among them was a certificate of deposite in the Rranch Rank at Morganton, N. C. We have reason to believe that great imposition is practised on people through the country by traveling beggars, foreign ers mostly. It would be well for our people to bestow their alms upon those that they are certain need and deserve it. 13F Wc learn from the Raleigh Register, that Prof. Kimberly will temporarily dis charge most of the duties of the late Prof. Mitchell; and that Mr Charles Mitchell will be appointed bis assistant iu the depart ments of chemistry and mineralogy in which he has already greatly aided his father; and that Prof. Fetter will be tempo rary Rursar. n SUPREME COURT.

Walker's proclamation of tbe 15th inst. lie says the charter of Lawrence is in direct violation of, and open defiance to, the territorial law, and he repeats that the law must be enforced. lie says that rebellion so iniquitous never before disgraced any age or country. The citizens of Kansas stand on the brink of an awful precipice. He warns them not to take the fatal leap. He implores them not to compel him to appeal to military power, but says that they cannot carry their pur poses into effect without coming in open conflict with the troops of the United States. He concludes thus : " It will be my purpose, if you still per sist, to spare bloodshed as far as practi cable, and subject the leader and projectors of this revolutionary movement to the pun ishment prescribed by law. I will accom pany the troops to Lawrence, with a view to prevent, if possible, any conflict, and in the sincere hope that the revolutionary movement contemplated and neary accom plished, will be abandoned ere it is too late. Your knowledge of the adequacy of the United States Government, if nothing else, should induce you to desist and abandon the fatal enterprise." The August Elections. During the first week in August the annual elections will take place in six of the States, as fol lows : Alabama August 3 Kentucky do. 3 Missouri do. 3 Texas. August G N.

We regret to learn from tha Fayetteville Carolinian, that the health of ex-Sccretary Dobbin is very precarious at present. He is debilitated to an extreme, and so very weak that it is impossible to leave his chamber. This is, indeed, painful news. Although aware of the failing state of Mr Dobbin's health for some two or three years past, we had still cherished the hope that restoration to the quiet of home, and the enjoyment of his native air, might have exercised a reviving influence. Apart from the natural pride and interest which the people of the State neessarily feel in those leading men whose course has added lustre to the escutcheon of North Carolina, there is also, in Mr Dobbin's case, a feeling of persoual affection, of respectful sympathy, almost peculiar in its character, duo less to the qualities of the head than the heart a tribute to the kind gentleman, even more than to the distinguished wearer of merited honors.
