Virginia. Some of the know-nothing papers
are disposed to take comfort from the fact that
Mr Wise's majority in Virginia falls short of the
majority President Pierce received, which was

The returns from Virginia show a glorious
triumph for the Democracy over the secret
party. Henry A. Y ser is elected Governor by
a majority of about li,0OO being a democra

1 1th Disti cfethe result is not ascer
tained, but it is be icVed that Mr Lewis, the
democratic candidate is elected thus making
the whole Congressio al delegation democratic.
Mr Smith, in the th District, opposed Mr
Wise, but disclaiine being a know-nothing.
The Legislature is lefiiocratic throughout.
Well done Virginia'! ' Good-bye kuow-noth-jiigisin

"Thk Cat o. t of tj e W.ali.kt." The Obser
ver in noticing the n: ivenient in New York to
reorganize the iciig j arty, and after saying it
is whig uud desires to remain whig, says:
"Our sympathies, itis true, are with the
American party, in the main, because that
party is endeavoring to do a great service to
tin; country by defeating Locofocoistn. But
still we stand by the ' Vbig party and name."
Do democrats wai t any further evidence of
the true objects of I JOw-notliingism than the
above. For mouths ast we have been trying
to convince those democrats who viewed the
secret party with fcOT, that jthe whole ten
dency of the concern as whiggish, gotten up
for the express purpt -e of defeating the demo
cratic party. " That J art the know-nothing
is ended raring to do aortal ser rice to the coun
try by defeating Locof, soisin" says the Fayette
ville Observer. A e: ndid admission! and one
wii:(.Ii we ask democrat' to bear in mind.
I-vnoit Lost. So mportant did the secret
party (.f North Caroli a jview the result of the
elections in Virginia, t ia it was deemed neces
sary to send two of it? leaders into that State,
-Messrs Kaviter .ind f 'Ia t W.ln ai. tli l-m.i'
lina at the' last Gubernatorial election, we
could have shown large gains for onr candi
date, Gov. Bragg. We did not do this, but
compared the last vote for "Governor with the
former one. So it is plain that the correct
way to count the losses and gains in Virginia,
is to compare Wise's majority with that of
Gov. Johnson, '"the present incumbent. If this
is done, it will be seen that the democratic ma
jority is considerably increased. Our know
nothing friends are welcome to any comfort
they may derive from this result.
The Union Degree Humbug. Last week
the Observer and Argus published, "by re
quest," the third or what is termed the "Union
degree" of the secret party. In another column
we publish it without being requested to do so,
accompanied with some remarks from the Stand
ard. The whole concern is a piece of arrant
humbuggery,-inteuded to deceive southern peo
ple. In the first place the obligation is evasive
and deceitful, and in the second, abolitionists
can take it and still carry on a warfare against
the South. The abolitionist at the North will
contend that he is a better Union man than
you are, because he is endeavoring to save the
Uuion by abolishing slavery. Seward, Greely,
and other abolitionists and free-soilers, often
talk about their love for the Union, and pass
resolutions eulogizing it, but it is plaiu that
their actions do not comport with their profes
sions. Hence they may take this "Union
degree" of the kuow-nothing order, and still
pursue their former course, believing, or pre
tending to believe, that they are good Union
men.
JE2T".The Argus in speaking of our account
of the "closing scene" at the meeting called
for the benefit of Mr Reid, the know-nothing
candidate, alludes to the attempt of W. McL.
McKay to make himself heard on that occa
sion, and says:
"The first time we ever saw him he was
standing up, about where he attempted to make
himself heard the other night, pouring some
hard licks on the democrats."
Tin's is said , for the purpose of taunting Mr
McKay with having quit the whig party and
joined the democratic. But we think Mr Mc
Kay's course and present positiou is more con
sistent and more enviable than that of the
editor of the Argus. It is much better for a
man to join the democratic party than to go
over heart and hand to the secret party.
The reason why Mr McKay attempted to
speak on the occasion alluded to, was to pre
vent the impression from being left on the
minds of the audience that he was connected
with the know-nothing party. The call was

Knovv-Nothing papers have raised a
great cry about removals at the Portsmouth
Navy Yard, accusing the Administration of
turning off laborers because they had joined the
secret party. It all turns out to be gammon,
as will be seen by the following statement from
the Petersburg Democrat:
"The great to do about workmen having
been removed at the Gosport Navy Yard, be
cause of their political opinions, resolves itself,
on enquiry, into the following facts:
1 Only four had been removed.
2. These were active Know-nothing "bosses,"
who for months had been using their positions
to break down a party and an administration
to whose forbearance and magnanimity they
were indebted for retention in their positions.

The candidates for Congress iu the fifth
District, Messrs Kerr and Reade, had a dis
cussion at Greensborough on the 24th ult. Mr
Kerr warmly opposed the secret party, and Mr
Reade i dvocated and defended it. The Patriot,
which sides with Mr Reade, says the speeches
of both gentlemen were able, interesting and
eloquent, and the discussiou was conducted with
becoming courtesy.
"The Guardian," a temperance paper pub
lished at Greensborough, is against Mr Kerr,
because it says, he is opposed to the cause it
has espousad.
Iu the Mountain District, Clingman's oppo

his sentiments, temperance men ought not to
touch him with a forty foot pole.
The Salamander Safe. Mr E. Cleve, at

the following manner as to the durability of
this Safe:
"On Wednesday morning. May Uth, mv Store and

contained my books and papers, some Bank bills and
specie, although exposed to an intense heat for more
than three hours, was drawn from tie ruins aud open
ed, hut with some difficulty on account of the expan
sion of the holts of the Lock, caused l3' the great heat
to which it had heen suhjected. The content:, however,
were found in a perfect state of preservation, with the
exception of a slight injury to the hacks of the books,
and discolouring the Bank notes and specie, which
was doubtless canned by the steam produced by the
water thrown on the Safe after its removal from the
fire."

than his previous efforts. He evidently showed that
if bis cause was a bad one he w as too well skilled
as'tt lawyer and a politician not to make the best of
it. He complained that the press m the district
waft against him that he was misrepresented by
it, and if those of his fellow -citizens who had never
enjoyed the pleasure of seeing him would only believe
what was said about him, they would think he was
either a wild beast or at least anything but a human
being. He complained of various charges that had
been made against him. such as that his love of office
was greater than his love of country that he was a
spurious democrat that he was a whig and last, but
worst of all. that he was a know-nothing. In answer
to the first, that he loved office, he stated 'that he had
never been lucky enough to get one that he desired
(as every member of the bar would be pleased to do)
to be elected one of the Judges of our Superior Court,
but that the President of the United States has no office

of Wake formerly the Carolinian's candidate
for the Governorship of the State? And how
with "Farmer Lane," of Wayne county one
of Governor Reid's "able and efficient Coun
cil ?" Are they spurious democrats ? Argus.
Mr Shepard never was our candidate for
Governor. When he was run for Governor in
1846 he was so obnoxious to the democratic
party in this section that even old Cumberland,
a county that has generally proven true to
true democrats, refused to cast her vote for
him, but gave a majority for the v. hig candi
date; Gov. Graham. The vote stood Graham
122, Shepard 701 being a falling off in the
democratic vote of about 500! So the Argus
will learn that Mr Shepard received cold com
fort at the Viands of the democracy iu these
parts.
With regard to "Farmer Lane," does the
Argus uot kuow that the statement that he is
a candidate iu opposition to Mr Ruffin is con
tradicted positively denied. We stated this
fact last week, and hope the Argus will inform
pf the know-nothings were, he knew not, and appealed
Id every know-nothing within the sound of his voice
to say if he was not right. But when he came tofpeak
of that celebrated Union or third degree, that he loved
so much, that was so well calculated to unite the North
ind South upon that great platform of "American
Rationality" and Protestant civilization," upon which
le was determined to stand, he forgot his recent denial,
tnd said that was what the know-nothings or American
arty proposed to do. The remainder of his speech

Mr Winslow replied to Mr Beid iu an able, eloquent
mm! forcible manner. The audience gave unmistaka

kssumcd, by the frequent and hearty plaudits hy which

We learn from a gentlemen who was present
at the Louisburg Convention and who formerly
acted with the Democratic party, that there
were about 140 delegates present and of that
number over 80 "formerly acted with the demo

Don't believe it, although the Star may con
sider its information correct. It sounds so
much like other assertions made by the mem
bers of the secret party that we cannot place
any confidence in it. Heretofore we have been
told that one-half of the Democrats in Virginia
belonged to the know-nothings aud would go
against Wise and that in North Carolina
many prominent democrats had joined the
secret party but of course it is all idle talk,
and the statements were made for the purpose
of deceiving democrats into the night society.
Now if a majority of the delegates in attend
ance at the know-nothing Convention in the
Wake District were formerly democrats, why
not publish the names of said delegates, that
the people may judge for themselves. If know
nothingism is the good thing it is represented
to be, why be afraid or ashamed to publish the
whole proceedings of their convention. - Give
the people light on the subject.

to Mr Reid in forming him of the charge, and asking
for information, and iu reply received a letter denying
the charge; and afterwards while in Raleigh, in the

speech delivered by Mr Wise when he tried to
prbvail ou "Sam" to show Ids physiognomj',

speaker kindled on the dark lantern party to
such au extent that some old patriarch was
constrained to call on "Sam" to rise up, when
it is said there was a "tremendous rising." 1
then doubted the report, but subsequent events
prove that there must have been a great rising
and traveling to partfcunkuown, as the returns
from Virginia do not indicate that said friends
of "Sam" done Mr Wise much harm on election
