Well, it is a theory whic!' is intended to. work some

This wonderful lotts setts out two propositions:
First, that Slavery, or the rights of slaveholders is
not an issue now before the people of the United
States,
Secondly, the4t the overthrow of the Democracy
is. And upon this he advocates that the plank he
has appropriated for himself and friends (which he
Las christened Opposition) is the only safo craft
now ai'.oiit, and consequently, he has proposed to
man her in tlx- following order;

The next Con gress.
The National Legislature which convenes at the
Capitol in Washington City, in lece niber next, it
is supposed, will have more business to transact
than it has had in many years. Four Territories
and two new States will usk for recognition.
The Territories alluded to are Jeti'erson, Arizona,
Daeolah, and Nevada. Kansas and Nebraska
will apply for State governments. We presume
the discussion of these questions will be long and
protracted. The question of population will be
the principal tonic and the only barrier by which
the States and Territories may not bo granted the
governments which they will ask from Congress.
Kansas cannot come into the Union, aoeordiiicr to
the English Bill, till she has 00,000 inhabitants
democrats are pledged to this. Nebraska will bo
admitted as soon as she shall have the number of
inhabitants provided for by the Constitution. The
Post OtUee Appropriation Bill, the Thirty Million
Bill, and a great many others of minor importance
will he brought up for the consideration of Congress.
In this connection we might add, that we have
procured tho services of a gentleman eminently
qualified for the position to report the proceedings
of Comrress, together with all tiie items of news
which may transpire at the Capital,
WiLiiiNC.Tox vs. Newbern. Tho Wilmington

Old Newbern is waking up and determined to
have a line of steamers to New York. Wilming

same from that town. It is expeoted that the Wil
mington & Weldon Railroad will take a large
amount or stock.

A Word of Advice.
We have refrained for some time past to notice
publicly the hostile feelings which have existed
since the month of May or June last by our cotem
poraries of the Warrenton News and Democratic
Press towards the -North Carolina Standard
Since that time not only have the editors of the
Standard been abused politically and personally
by these papers, but in one , of them, the Press, a
long article appears in which . our Chief-Executive
Gov. Ellis is done great injustice. Their denuncia
tions have not stopped here. lion's. H, M. Shaw
and Alfred M. Scales, both pure and sterling Dem
ocrats, have been denounced in severe terms with
out just cause or reason.
It is not our intention to refer to the causes
which have impelled these papers to pursue such
an unwarrantable and unjustifiable course towards
the editors of the Standard. We propose merely
as Democratic journalists, and no one can question
our right so to do, to notice things which now exist
and to speak freely and frankly our opinions on the
subject under consideration. We know the feel
ings entertained towards the Standard and promi
nent, leading members of the party by the Demo
cratic Press and Warrenton Ncies, and knowing,
condemn them,. The Editor of the Prsss cannot
but be aware of our friendly feelings towards him,
and of course cognosccnt of our motives in writing
this article. Considering the position which we
have always occupied towards it, we can certainly
be accused of endeavoring to do nothing more or
less than to harmonize the ranks ot the Democratic
party in penning this article.
Of the editor of the Warrenton News, we know
nothing personally, but can but pronounce his
course highly culpable. Our reason for saying this
is obvious to all who have read his unprovoked and
unwarrantable attacks upon the gentleman referred
to in the foregoing paragraph.
The course of the Press in publishing the " twit
ting " article about Gov. Ellis is very reprehensi
ble indeed. How it can claim to be a paper " ad
vocating principles not men " as its motto would
appear to indicate, when such editori.tls as the one
alluded to are published in it, we cannot conceive.
The North Carolinian is a Democratic paper ;
fought for the principles of that party many years
before that paper or its editor came into cxistancc
and still we do not complain of a lack of executive
patronage. Surely if there was just cause for it, the
editor of the " Press " and the rest of our readers
would know it. Not a single one of our Democratic
exchanges, every one of which save two, is older in
the cause than our cotemporary, has ever uttered a
syllable of complaint about Governor Ellis, his
administration or favors bestowed by it upon our
opposition friends. We might write more fully
upon this subject, but it is unnecessary to proceed
further. Our views have been expressed clearly
we think. Should we be called upon to refer to
this subject again, we will be compelled to speak
plainly. This should and will be done in order
that justice- may be awarded to all.
The editors of the " Press " and " News " cannot
impugn our motives We advocated strenuously
the '-Thirty Million Bill," and if we mistake not
were the first paper in North Carolina to do so.
In advocating that, however, we did not de
nounce the Standard, and never will, so long as it
is conducted as it now is. We are the peculiar
friends of no particular paper, but we like to see
justice accorded to all.
We conjure yon friends to cease this spirit of
hostility towards your confer ree, allow your ter
giversations to be forgotten in your own minds,
cultivate a better spirit than you now possess, and
cast away those unhappy, unfriendly feelings
which you now cherish towards each other. A
few years, it may be a few months hence, their
recollection will be but a sigh. It may then be
too late to reoall the unkind words you have
spoken, the wrong deeds you have committed.
We therefore beseech 3'ou as friends, as co-workers
in the some great and glorious cause to cease
this clamor and tumult you have been carrying on
to such a mournful extent,

For the benefit of our friends of the Wilmington
Herald, we would say that we learn from our ex
change?, that a meeting of the Gentiles was had in
that Territory, at which the mormons and mormon
ism were most unqualifiedly denounced, and an anti
mormon, Gentile, pro Administration, Democratic
party ticket nominated. The following named gen
tlemen are put before the Saints for their suffrages :
For Delegate to Congress. Dr. Garland Hurt.
For Council Wm. H. Lent, John Bigler.
For Representatives Samuel C. Mills, C. W.
Crocker, J. M. Wallace.
For Sheriff 0 P. Thomas.
It would appear that the good people (democrats
of course) in this territory are nearly as much op
posed to polygamy as are our friends of the Herald.
At least it would so appear from the following reso
lutions passed by that assembly :
Resolved that wo hold the Mormon people res
ponsible for the blood of American citizens, so
wantonly shed upon American soil, so long as the
real perpetrators, aiders and abettors are protected
by them from the just penalties of the law.
" Resolved. That polygamy is an abomination in
the sight of God a violation of the laws of nature,
tending to degenerate and sensualize our race a
crime punishable by law in every State in the Un
ion, and should not be tok rated in the Territories.
We learn that the cargo of the Steamer
Rowan which was burned at Piney Bluff on Satur
day evening, consisted of 500 bbls. Spirits Turpen

except about 24 bbls., was insured in some office in
New York. Mr Lutterloh is the heaviest looser
there being no insurance upon the boat.

Mb. Lutterloh's New Steamer. Every body

selves have inquired, but it has been kept a secret
till to day. .;. It will he seen by looking at our new
advertisements that .she is named the North Caro
lina. Pity that Mr L. didn't think of adding "ian"
and we should have had a namesake. We think
however, that the name iswell selected.
Who will be Governor? '
This question has been asked by the fcaleigb
Register, and responded to by the Raleigh . Stand
ard and Wilmington Journal. Of cours they
have named the man, and he is no less a person than
our present worthy inoumbent Gov. Ellis will be
renominated by the Democrats, they are proud to
say so, and mark us he will be reelected by tke free
men ot JNortn Carolina. They may bring oat their
Deckerys and Rayners, their Vances and Pools,
their Davises and Guyons, their Grahams and More-
heads, all of whom are respectable, fine gentlemen,
but they can't change the decrees of fete. Gov.
Ellis will be the Governor yet another term, and
well does he deserve the honor. We think, that
Gov. Ellis is one of the most deservedly popular
men in the State for the office at the present time,
and in fact it is his right to occupy it for one term
more according to all former usage.
Friend Press what's the matter with you ? Are
you getting disgruntled with our present "worthy
chief executive ? You ought not to get jealous,
you know. Keep cool by and by we will see you

say will not clash well with what you may hereaf

New York A Southern City !
We find a very excellent article in a recent num
ber of the Evening Day-Book under th above
caption. We are pleased to notice, not only in this
but in other instances that the people at tner riorth
are beginning to realize, even at this- latae dyv the
importance and neccessity of having the Southern
communitv attached to them as a nation. We could
not believe that it would be otherwise, the fanaticism
of some of our northern brethren to the contrary not
withstanding, when the facts were placed before
them. ,' ,
We extract a portion of the Day-BoaVs article,
and only regret that we cannot find spaoi in which
to publish the whole of it :
" All honest men now see that the gret commerce
of the South is doing far more in a dayikowards the
development of this great country, and fie extension
of civilization, than all the rifle sermonl, and Aboli
tion tracts of the northern fanatics can. do to injure
it. Well and truly did the Hon. A. H. Stephens
say in his late speech, v that there are more think
ing men at the North now, who look upon the south
ern system of slavery as right, socially morally and
politically, than there were even at the South thirty
years ago. "
iThe reason of this change of pubic opinion is
obvious. The true reasons and philosophy of south
ern " slavery " have beeniit last presented. Besides,
we are an intelligent and progressiie people, and
even matter-of-fact men must, it th.y are honest
admit that the great prosperity wbicl has been our
fortune as a young nation is owing ii a great meas
ure to the products of the southern States of this
confederacy. It is not our desire to undervalue the
products of other portions, of the coantry ; but the
truth-investigating reader must see, t once, that our
prosperity as a commercial nation mist depend upon
our exports, and the great export of the United
States are the staples of the South
The cotton of the South creates ill our dry goods
business of the country and the business growing
out of it ; and that will be found t be a very large
item in the commerce of New York, The great ship
building interests of northern cities, from New York
to Passamaquoddy, and, indeed, ofa large portion
of British North America, are southern.
A Sensible Extract.
The following paragraph which we clip from a
recent number of the Tennessee Baptist, is the
most sensible thing, we have read in some time.
Would that our religious as well as secular ex
changes would make a similar statement' to their
readers. The loss of a few subscribers' should
not deter a religious newspaper from upholding the
particular tenets of its denomination, ndr a sec
ular paper from advocating the principles of its
party. Independence is the soul of a newspaper :
"And here we entreat Baptists whenever this paper
advocates doctrines or practices contrary to the
teachings of Christ, or whenever it shrinks from a
bold and faithful defence of our denominational
principles, whenever it professes neutrality touching
important issues to avoia responsiouuies, wnenever
it errs in a statement of facts and refuses to correct,
whenever it assails men and refuses to allow a rea-1
sonable defence, whenever it becomes an instrument
to be used by the few, to the exclusion of the many,
the organ of a clique and not of the people then
turn from it as you would from a contagion. Give
it no countenance for a day or an hour."
gagfTom. Corwin, who says he is the father of
the black Republican party, is getting very popular
with the Southern Opposition, and they call him
brother Tom. Nearly every one of our opposition
exchanges have a puff for Black Republican, Broth
er Tom, Corwin of Ohio ! i
How Rogues agree' can easily beSfeen the Blacks
claim Botts, and are extravagant in the praise of
him what a delightful family ? what congenial
spirits ? It won't take long now to complete the
treason. There is to be a union of the Opposition
and the Blacks so says Botts. Well after all, our
opposition friends have rather tough consciences to
associate with so much lawlessness.
Complaint. We are continually enquired of by
our subscribers, why it is that they fail to get their
papers ? We can't tell ; we "always send them to
the Post Office and would much prefer them to be
sent to the parties to whom they are addressed. If
the gentlemen who are connected with the Post
Office department would let us know that they are
so fond of the " North Carolinian," as not to let it
pass by their dwelling, we would be pleased to send
them a copy gratuitously. Do allow outr papers of
go to their destination. ; '
Serious Accident. We regret to learn by the
Petersburg 'Express, that Mr S, M. Chestnut,
Mail Agent, between Wilmington and ' Richmond,
met with a serious accident on the morning of the
1st inst, . It says : .
As the train from Petersburg was nearing the
bridge over the Roanoke, Mr C. leaned from the
Mail car, to watch the progress of the Portsmouth
train, which was coming up in the rear. His head
being out too far came in contact with the iron
gate at the bridge, and he . reoeived a powerful
blow. Drs. Gee and Elliott, washed the wound,
which bled very profusely, and rendered necessary
suigical aid Fortunately, the skull was not bro
ken, and it is expected he will be well again in a
few days."
Mr C, is an estimable young gentleman, and it
is hoped his wound will not prove fatal,'
Eclipses in 1860. In 1860, there will be four

The Cheraw Gazette relates some funuy anec
dotes connected with the unusual display of tho
Aurora Boreallis, on the night of the 1st inst. The
Gazette says :
" This gloriously beautiful pageant of the heavens
cave rise to a few amusing incidents, and we sup-
pose to some nine scnuus luuugiii aim earnest
prayer by some who had not thought seriously and
prayed earnestly before. One gentleman, we under
stand, came to the conclusion that the last day was
about breaking, and therefore took a seat and quietly
awaited the blowing of Gabriel s horn. Another, a
Marlboro man, when he awoke, concluded he had
overslept himself, and to make up for lost time, set
briskly to work. The first thing was to feed his
chickens, rie soon naa nis pan ot dough ready, and
went out, calling "chick chick chick-ee," but no
chickens would come. His patience was soon ex
hausted, aud dashing down the pan with a curse on
the lazy fowls, he set about something else saying
he didn t care a curse it they starved to death.
But the best thing we have heard was an explana
tion of the phenomenon by another Marlboro' man.
Here is his philosophy and logic : Upon consulting
Bryan's Almanac, it was found that the phenomenon
occured on the anniversary of the creation of the
world, and was therefore an illumination in honor of
that great event That the gods, like men, " have
their anniversaries, upon which occasions they make
merry and manifest their pleasure by bonfires, &c,
like we poor mortals. Hence he infers the oracular
character of Bryan's Almanac, which he concludes
may bejimplicitly relied upon in itsjpredictions of the
weather, and more especially by all Carolinians."
SF"Thc election for state officers took place in
Vermont on Tuesday last, when John G. Saxe
the popular Poet will learn what it is to be a pol
tician. Of course the people the Blacks will elect
him to stay at home and then, jes ! then, that will
be another Opposition triumph.

Corrcsponticnce of th,e North, Carolinian.
Connecticut, Aug. 31, 1859.
Reader, did you ever wait for the cars or steam
boat ? If so, you can imagine my situation, as I,
a few nights since, waudered about amidst the
gloom of night from 9 to 12 o'clock. But all
earthly things find an end, and I was relieved of
restlesu.ess by beholding the good Steamer, " City
of Hartford," wending her way past Saybrook
light house and into the mouth of the Connecticut.
Unwaru sne presseu oeanng uer ngms oi reu, wnue
and blue, till at last she came along side of the
wharf, when I jumped on board and was soon snug
ly stowed away in state room No 26, being lost to
all that was passing without, till our arrival in
Hartford the next morning. After feasting sump
tuously from the steamer's bountiful table, I start
ed forth to take a view of the city, expecting to
return in the course of an half hour. I passed
through several different streets, and at last, found
myself at the State House in which many sympa
thising hearts have beat togther for as they would
say- " the poor negro," and around which is much
to attract the eye of a stranger. A pool within
the Capitol Yard in whose water doats the gold and
other fish,' in whose centre a fountain sends high
its water which with a curve falls glittering as the
sun sheds its rays upou it ; this perhaps first at
tracts attraction. The green grass and nobe
shade trees, to say nothing of the Capitol itself,
is well worth the attention of all who may in then
travels visit Hartford. Upon her streets the busy
bum of industry but shows that an enterprising
people are there, and that she is fast rising above
many of her sister cities ; indeed, I have seen no
city since I have been North that has shown as
much activity and goaheadativeness as this. From
the Capitol I started toward where the old Charter
Oak used to stand, and found to my astonishment,
that no traces were left of this venerable and far
famed Oak, the hiding place of the old Con. Charter.
The growth of the city and opening of new stieets
had entirely covered the grounds, and in a few
years it will be known only as it is described by
the historian From this point I started for the
grounds of Genl. Sam'l Colt, the manufacturer of
the world renowned Colt's repeater. When I
think of a description of his residence and out
grounds I am lost and feel that an attempt will be
vain, will therefore merely say that it cost $ 100,01)0.
It is said that Genl. Colt pays out $30,000 per
month. What a pity that we had not a few such
manufacturies in Fayetteville, as a few such
monthly distributions would by no means injure our
present trade. But we will Hope if we die in
despair. Fortunately, at this point, I met Mr A.
Neff, of Wilmington, who is visiting his friends at
Rocky Hill and who kindly offered mo a seat iu his
buggy, and with his fine horse we glided over the
city, seeing all things worth a sight, lusane, and
Deaf and Dumb Asylums, Trinity College, and
the Cemetry, together with the numerous pri
vate residences, which for beauty are unsur
passed, all this besides the new park now being
laid off and fitted up, and which from locality ami
the money which is to be expended thereon bids
fair to be the park of all parks. Such scenes, I
say, are calculated to feast the eye of one right
from amidst the towering pines of our beloved
State, Carolina. Upon returning to the Steamer,
I found that my half hour had extended to 8 times
as long, but felt fully repaid for all the fatigue that
I had undergone. At 3i o'clock the steamer hav
ing sounded her 'ast whistle, the lines let lose from
the deck, the wheels commenced their revolutions,
and we were soon leaving Hartford in the distance.
At Rock HilL the second landing from Hartford, I
had the pleasure of meeting some four or five N.
C. friends; it was unexpected and if you have ewr
in your travels met with friends from home you
may imagine to a certain extent my feelings when
I laid my eyes upon them, and we shook glad
hands. It was as a green spot in a barren waste
to the eye, for be it remembered that I appreciate
Carolinians wherever I meet them, and although
you perhaps may think it a little out of place, but
right here let me stop, taKe oreatn ana witn tne

Ah ! what a view what a feast for the lover of

again it narrows down and the river is overhung
with high cleffs of rocks, while in the back ground
is seen lofty hills standing in silent grandeur seem

along and finally mingles its tide with the briney
wave. In the valley by the hill side the farmer's

to the coming Presidential campaign and the
leading men of the Republican party are laying
deep their plans feeling confident of success. There
is no doubt but they may be defeated if a proper
man is selected at the Charleston Convention.
New England will go republican doubtless all
through, and it should be the aim of the Conven
tion to select a man who will take the North west
ern States as well as the South. I heard a leading
democrat remark that no democrat could carry
Northern States enough to insure an election save
Stephen A. Douglas, that he probably would carry
Indiana, Illinois, and by the influence of Forney,
would carry Pennsylvania. If this be so, the ques
tion is i which would the South prefer Douglas
or Seward, or some other Republican which may
be a candidate? At all events, the South must
take a bold and united stand, seeking all Northern
strength possible, or our government will be en
tirely in fte hands of the Republicans.

such prices as these, very few persons in Vir
