Two of the recognised lenders of the party are i(ii.o.-.cd to each other upon this question. What will he the ( -ow-equice remains to be seen. Another Rail Road Scheme. Ts citizens of Iredell county held a meeting at Statesrille for the purpose of taking into considera tion tne importance or bundling a Jiauroaa irotn Charlotte via Statesville to r Jonesboro, Tennesse. There is to be a meeting of the friends of the Road at Statesville on the 4th of October, and the coun ties interrested are invited to sepd delegates. Char. Democrat, We would like to know when the Western por tion of our State will have enough Railroads pro bably when they get every little twopenny village connected with New York and California. Well it cannot be said they are ignorant of what is to their benefit. The western portioa of our State have twice the sense winch this section has in matter of this na ture. Our Fayetteville capitalists go ioto Banks and Bank stock with a right good will, because it pay a dividend immediately, but Railroads do not pay so largely in that particular way, although in the increased valuation of real estate and the busi ness of every town, the Railroads pay one hundred per cent, better. Fayetteville c?Jl surpass any town in the Stato for investment in Bank stock, but in Railroads she is far below par When will the foolish learn wis dom ? lP Our cotemporaries, the Charlotte Democrat and Raleigh Standard are discussing the Conven tions to be held this fall for tho election of dele gates to the State Conventions, and the Standard recommend that at the holding of our county con ventions for the appointment of delegates to the State convention, we also appoint delegates to the district conventions. We entirely agree with the Standard iu this matter, and would urge our people in the various counties to be there en masse let not lame excuses prevent your attendance at the various precincts, and elect good, reliable men do not stay away and let a few take all the respon sibility and'theu have to listen to your continual giberage about cliques. You should all attend the primary meeting; we want an expression of the people, the whole people, at our assemblies. We have an unscrupulous enemy to oppose us, let us all be interested ; let us all show our hands at the primary meetings and we are bound to succeed. But let us absent ourselves, let a few be there, and it will only take a few mora opposition falsehoods to carry the State they even now count upon it. We do trust that every democrat will see the re-i sponsibility that rests upon him in this matter, and that he will be there to select the proper men to our Stato and district Conventions. It is likely that at tho next County Courts in Cumberland, Harnett, and Robeson, thoy will hold their County Conventions. Papua. An island bearing the above name has been se lected by the Mormons as their future residence. It lies on the Eastern Archipelago in New Guinea and is separated from Australia by Torres Straits ; its area is estimated at 200,000 square miles. The inhabitants estimated at about 200,000 are partly Malay and partly Negro, It has been very little explored by Europeans. Its surface is of a very varied characterr, a lofty mountain range contain ing some remarkable elevations, extending through its Avhole length. The valleys and level land are believed to be very productive, and timber of large size abounds. It is also said that gold has been found tiir tlio natives;. If prosperity and contentment wih -Hi wm - "ic .uwmons anywnere, 11 wouxa seem that in tins new country they may realize them. We are pleased to leern that thoy intend migrating from our borders, even if it be to Guinea. The Alkoua Bokf.allis. As this body has re cently caused considerable speculation throughout the country, we have resolved to give in the ab sence of auything definite upon the subject, and without the aid of a mythological dictionary the meaning of the words. Aurora is by heathen mythology, the goddess of the morning ; she is the fountain of light to the world, and traverses the heavens in a chariot drawn by winged horses. (We forget whether they are the same ones froni whose nostrils eminated fire and brimstone.) When the goddess shows her face the imps of darkness disappear. She only travels from East to West, There was a god who lived in the bleak, barren caves of the North, who was reported to be the ruler of the north wind. Boreas and Aurora were never married, bnt when we hear the names used in the same connection we can but think of them. This is our definition of the Auro ra Boroallis. We will co no father he Astrono mer's province is to demonstrate the cause of their mysterious connection and appearance in the Hea vens, For Governor. In reference to the name ef the supposed opposi tion candidate for Governor, the Asheville JVews says : . " It will not be Dockery, A whisper from the capitol tell us that the "Raleigh Clique" have al ready settled the matter, and that the Hon. Z. R. Vance of this place is to be the man, provided he will accept it. Time will show." The Patriot, while it has no "first choice, bears witness to the ability, purity and integrity of Jos. B. Cherry, Esq." Thus "the war of the roses" is being waged. Editorial Convention. "Six papers, sa3's the Fayetteville Carolinian, have now spoken in favor ot hoiding an Editorial Convention ; two in favor of Hillsboro' as the place and October as the time. We would seventh the proposition and move that Charlotte be the place, and that it be in December. We now eighth the proposition and second the move either for Hillsboro' or Charlotte, but prefer December for the meeting 'to October." rJJfinston Sentinel. Several other papers, the names of which we have forgotten, favor tho holding of a Convention. Speak out friends and let us designate the thne apd place of meeting. Tue Weather, -The nights and mornings have beceme quite cool, making us realize that October weather is drawing near. Autumn is upon us and ere long the " sere and yellow leaf" will resume the place of the evergreen foliage. The poet Bry ant beautifully describes the time and scenes " The melancholy days' are come. The saddest of the jrear ; Of wailing winds and naked woods, And meadows brown and sere. Heaped in the hollows of the grove, The withered leaves lie dead ; They rustle to the eddying gull, And to tho rabbit's tread. The robin and the wren have flown, And from the shrub the jay ; And from the wood top calls the erow, Through all the gloomy day." gf" We learn from the Progress that fears are entertained that the Newbern Light Infantry will, ere Ion"-, have to disband in consequence of a lack of interest in its welfare by the members. This we reexet to hear for we have long looked upon it as , The Right Sentiment. tate tJie anuexed from the North Caro linian and are pleased to record the fact that the Democratic Press of the State are begin ning to settle down upon a distinct proposition losing sight entirely of abstract questions. All that the people of the South demand, is tnai they shall be permitted to enjoy equal rights with Northerners in the Territories. They desire- nothing more and ought not to be satis fied with anything less. We have clipped the above from the Charlotte Bullet'm for the purpose of setting that paper right upon one point. The position assumed by the Bulletin would indicate that it was the first paper in the state to oppose and denounce the squatter sover eignty doctrine of Mr Douglas. Some months before that able little paper came into the state, the North Carolinian gave warning that Mr Douglas' theory would not do, and to the best f our ability then argued the question upon its merits. We were alone, and in fact some of our Democratic cotempo poraries put us through upon this very question, but these same papers now give him harder blows than we do. We have admired the position of the Bulletin upon this question all along, and have endorsed its doctrine for at the time it seemed as if we would no longer be single handed and alone, but whilst we endorsed its doctrine upon territorial rights, we are sorry to say that we did most earnestly condemn its charges against the democracy for unfaithfulness towards the South. The Bulletin well knows that if there be no sal vation in the Democratic party for the South, it is needless to seek it elsewhere. It knows that it has been the only party that has advocated the rights of Southerners to remove to a territory, under the protection of the Constitution It knows full well that the only national men who live in the North are either avowed Democrats or co-operate with that party. It cannot be ignorant of the fact that the rights secured to the South under the constitution are recognized by no other party, and how can it in the face of all these things accuse the Democracy of any breach of trust, or of any faithlessness to any section of the Union ? Whilst we will condemn the doctrine of Senator Douglas, and have very little sympathy with his ambitious propensities yet, we cannot for our liie see where, or how the South can expect for even mercy from any other party. We held the same doctrine on the territorial question in 56 aud '57 that we do now ; the Ad ministration held the same ; the whole party held the same, as seen by the Presidents letter to the committee of abolition ministers in New England, who had prayed the President not to enforce the laws of Kansas through the instrumentality of the United States forces. In the President's letter he states that slavery exists in Kansas as under the Constitution, c. Mr Douglas stood with the President then, being long before his great Le compton breach. Sinc that, however, he 'has " bagged Boston," a la IFise, and the " little giant" has himself been buried in the bag, and has come out wrong end first. "Whilst we believe that it is the dut' of the South to demand whatever constitutional right has or may be adjudged to be hers, yet we should be void of the first principles of honesty did we deny the honesty and faithfulness which has characterized the democracy in the dischairse of its duty, its Literary Notices.

" Birds of a feather " fight as well as - flock to gether," Debtor and CKJEnrroR. Our correspondent, "Philo,1' writes plainly and truthfully npon this subject. It cannot he denied that the oath, of in solvency is frequently taken unjustly, and is very often the means of swindling honest man out of their dues. This is not always the case, but it is so frequently, and should be stopped. Justice and honesty alike demand it, Stabbjxo Affair, We were informed whilst at Harnett court, that a man named Eli Johnson was severely stabbed in five different places by a bowie knife in the hands of Wm, Simpson, The affray occurred about Spout Spring, on the Coal Fields Railroad, last Sabbath.

The Dr. The Unity of the South. 1 "The following article from the Charlotte Bulletin, expresses so well and clearly our views on the politica crisis which is now impending that we publish it entire in lieu of any tiling we might write. If this were all that constituted Democray the Bulletin would assuredly be in full fellowship with us. AYere we to consider its Democracy irrelevant to the sub ect we can but leel quite certain that the Bulle in is sound on the institutions of the South. Whilst we are free to admit'that the Whig party holds in its rank as good and true patriots as any other party in the county, we nevertheless recognize the Democratic party as the only one capable in the existing political emergencies oi the country, of pro -tecUgthe Rights and Institutions of the South, and it is our determination to support its organization in full respects, when its action proposes, with favor able prospects of success, this result, as the object of SUswl known and admitted on all hands, that thNorthern wing of the Whig party, has longsincee ftho tm ltiomsts. wnusi ine nisiorv 01 in tints equally well attests the fact that there still reiisiins a respectable fragment of the Democratic party which is yet faithful to our Constitutional Ri Jhts The same history further attests the fact, thi at least three fourths of the people of the South adhere, strictly, to the Democratic party, whilst the otlir fourth is divided between various political setts. We are for a unit of the South because we areffully satisfied that hereafter she will only be able to wield the balance of power between the con senirtSvind fanatical elemen ts of the parties at th jfa-f-idTwe think it would be highly absurd for th "itiktic party of the South to give up its jMBv r- strength, and its commanding position at ; this tfcae, and go over to the unorganized, and heterogneous fragments known as the "Opposition," which has no strength at the North, and not much at bonus. We therefore think that the Opposition at the South ought to unite with the Southern Dem ocracy in the formation of a high-toned, dignified and covjservative organization with the sole view of forti-ing and protecting the Rights and Insti tutions of the South. This exposition, we hope, will satisfy all of our political cotemporaries who have expressad a desire to learn our position. Democracy Its Longevity. The subjoined paragraph, uttered by Vice-President Rreckenridge, at a Democratic Barbacue in Paris, Kentucky, a few days since, is a striking aud truthful illustration of the longevity of De mocracy and the premature demise of all other parties, which are being organised to defeat it. There surely must be something good in Democ racy, when an enlightened nation keeps it into ex istence for such a long period. The truth is, it is a national party the only one now adapted to the government of the United States. Read the gallant young Keutuckian's views upon the subject. He said : " The Democratic party was in his judgment the only political party noTw in existence which is ca pable of taking care of this glorious country. Or ganization after organization rose and fell ; some lived a lone period, others shorter. Some had good lungs and good brains, though the latter were otten not very sound. Tne last party wmcn passeu away (the American) looked out upon tne eartn and then expired. The death of the Democratic party, he said, was predicted at every election, nut it is to day moft healthey than ever. It is no flick ering ligrht, it rests upon principles which its oppo nents cannot withstand it can't die it is the only national party left in the United States a light house set upon the headland of the sea as a beacon light to guide the weary traveller home. He said that strifes aud differences do arise in their ranks, but for all practical purposes the entire party was a unit." i'he Nashville News says it is apparent to any one who keeps his eyes and ears open, that if Douglas receives the Charleston nomination, he will receive tho united vote of the Democracy of the southern section of the Union. It further says the fact is becoming more and more apparent to every observer of the times, with every passing day. May it not be that the eyes aud ears of the IVeirs lias not been kept open, and that it has not been a watchful observer of the times ! It would bo very easy to predict with both eyes and ears shut, that if Douglas gets the nomination at Charleston by the consent of the Southern dele gates, then he would get the vote of the South. iBut, ilrNetvs, that if alters the case, for just as sure as the Southern delegation repudiates Uoug las in the Charleston Convention, the Southern voters, through the electoral college, will likewise repudiate him. Tho advocates of free soil squatter sovereignty hrve foisted the last nomination on Southern Democrats. Further, the News is entirely mistaken in say ing that Mississippi is the only Southern Stato in which there are no Douglas newspapers. South Carolina now can boast of a united press in oppo sition to Douglas and his squatter free soil pro clivities. Pick your ears and skin your eyes, Mr Naws, before you set yourself up fcr a prophet or the son of a prophet Cher aw Gazette. Further still, North Carolina can also boast of a united press in opposition to Mr Douglas and his squatter sovereignty proclivities. If wo mistake not, we can say as much for Virginia and proba bly every other Southern State, with the exception of Louisiana and Mississippi. Mr Douglas' chance for the Presidency is indeed slim. His last mani festo hat done the work for him. County Fair. We direct special attention to the advertisement of the Cumberland County Ag ricultural Society, which we publish in another column of to-day's paper. We would urge upon our friends in town and country to bring in articles for exhibition. AVe want the Fair to be an honor and credit to the county. We have not yet seen the PrenSumlList, but understand it embraces a wide range for competition in every industrial art. Come to the Fair, friends, and bring with you everything which may be of interest or attractive to the public. The Cosmopolitan Art Journal for Sept'r, is upon our table.

We have not learned who is to deliver the address upon the occasion, The Daily Newspaper. The following top ioftical, elegant, pathetic and brilliant description of a Daily Newspaper is from the piquant pen of the editor of our sprightly co temporary the Newbern Daily Progress. ' The history of a newspaper is much of th world's history. The daily newspaper is the day's history it clasps the day's daylight. Bound in its daily columns the world, with its passing events, circles. In it the steamship arrives and unloads its freightage; in it the lightning flashes for thought; in it the city booms, the corn blades glitter, the wheat rustles its golden heads, the cattle low from a thousand hills, and the market hums ; in it the spring blooms and the autumn blows ; in it the poet sings, and with his song- the low wind comes fresh and sweet over the old meadows, and happy faces gleam from forgotten doors. Yes, the world turns every day in the daily newspaper. Its col umns are freighted with the world's merchandise Through their avenues ring merrily the marriage bells, and through them hearses move and funeral knells are tolled." Ge-whillekins ! who would have thought it ! ! JB-A Correspondent of the Newbern Daily Delia, writing from liichlands, Onslow county, X. C, says ; "The last Legislature passed an Act leav ing it to the citizens of the village and those residing within two miles of the Academy to vote for or against a 'Grog-Shop, and prohibi tion. This gave offence to some 'topers,' who, in order to rent their spleen, on the night after the election attacked the 'meeting-house' and demolished a number of window-lights; ecud I learn that quite a number of witnesses have been summoned to appear before the grand jury at our next Superior Court, to testify and, if possible, bring the onenders tojustice.

Eoitors : The following observations from the "2f. Y. Independent, and Springfield Re publican, are well suited to this latitude. Accord ing to our laws, all the sympathy is with the debt or, and all Legislation of late years, are in his fav or, could the Mass of the people have the opportu nity of seeing and hearing what takes place in our Courts, they would at once come to the conclusion, that the Creditor was much more entitled to their sympathies than the Debtor. How many are there in the community, who build Houses on other peo ples land, who feed themselves and friends upon oth er people's means, who are clothed at other peoples expense, and who ' owe Widows (who have no oth er means of feeding their children than by keeping boarders) who are wronged by these Honest Debt- " "A discerning public should puttheir stamp of disap probation upon such men. They should be scouted from all respectable company, and should take their place where they belong among not Honest Debtors. Puilo. Creditor axd Debtor. The New York Indepen dent, in one of its able financial articles, observes : " A great deal of literature has been written against the cruel creditor ; but we have witnessed a great deal more wickedness and cruelty on the part of the debtor, the cruel debtor." This region is full of the wickedness and cruelty of debtors. They depre date on the honest and industrious portion of the community a thousand fold more than thieves aad robbers, and in many instances they more richly deserve the states prison. In most cases, they add to fraud the meanest of deception and teachery. The history of the cases that pass through the courts of insolvency would furnish a multitude of thrilling tales of this character, where not only hard-working men, with Vivos and children to support, but depen dent woman are induced to trust some fellow, who knows he has no reasonable prospect of ever paying the debt ; or some speculator who, when his affairs are turning unfortunately, sqnandcrs or conceals his property. The law has hitherto favored the debtor and given him all its sympathy ; but experience and observ ing people are begining to feel that, in a large ma jority of cases, detestation would be a much more deserved sentiment. Ihe law has treated creditors as hard hearted ; but in a large majority of cases the fact appears to be that creditors, who are unpaid and unsecured, are the victims of men who deserve punishment. Shrewd business men generally look to their securities, and the men who trust without security are generally men who are easily imposed upon and need protection. It is getting to be time for the law to transfer its sympathies from rogues to honest and industrious men. Many intelligent per sons, who have watched the operation of the insol vent law, believe that its influence has greatly lowered our standard of honesty in dealing. m From our New York Correspoudent. New York Politics. Sept. 13th, 1859. Messrs Editors : In accordance with your request, I will occa sionally send you a short sketch of matters and things in the great metropolitan city of our Union; and as this will be an eventful week in our politics, I will devote my first to that subject. On Wednesday next, the State Convention will assemble at Syracuse, for the purpose of nominating a candidate lor Secretary of State Comptroller, Treasurer, and six other important State Officers. The Black Republicans have already nominated their ticket, and flung their banner to the breeze inscribed with all their usual anti-national isms. Much depends upon the action of the Democratic Convention, whether the enemies of the South will triumph in November next, or whether the Democ racy of the Empire State will present an unbroken front to their enemies, and regain the position which they so ignominiously lost by their internal discord. Men without either tact or talent have essayed to be leaders, whose ambition has only been equalled by their ismorance. and who neither knew how to gov ern nor how to serve- such men have so distracted the party that it is now in reality as a house divided against itself. Tammany Hall wisdom (or fool ishness) has of late done much towards placing the Democratic party of the city in its present un enviable position. Many of the members of the Tammany Society were elected years ago, but have since that time joined the ranks of the Know Noth ings and Black Republicans, yet these men exercise their prerogative as members in voting for the elec tion of sachems; and a majority of the sachems thus elected claim the power to decide who shall be ad mitted to the Hall and so be considered the regu lar party, thereby ignoring altogether the will of the people. But the elorv has at last donrtl Tammany. The ancient fires of theWigwarm burns not as of yore. The national Democratic party of the City, unwilling any longer to be the mere tools of irresponsible men whose nolitical m-ininl as changeable as the chameleon, have removed their nou quarters to Alazart Hall, where for the time being will be conducted the business of th rrtv. There will be two sets of Delegates from this city to the State Convention, viz: the Tammany delega tion, or those in favor of the State Convention ap pointing the delegates to the National Conveition at Charleston. Tins delegation is composed of UOUglas and of Vuw nC.J...::....: J.. .a. flavored with a fine sprinkling of Black Republiean" rT,T l1"r;aozart Hall delegation is composed of national democrats to a man. and in favor of ivin me people ol the several Congressional districts the Oonntf "ghtf CleCtinS the1r delegates to the deleSl TwWlA are to the election of FINEST TKhu Convtntin. ntil after the State SV;1 r th Pty are anxious to effect a union for the purpose of overthrowing the opposition in November, and placing Seward and his abettors far m the minority. If this can be ac comphshed New York will be safe in the Presiden tial campaign. Who will be the next m.yor? is a question which now begins to assume vast importance in our .-re-it and ever-legislated city. The injustice done to the Hon. Fernando Wood by the Black Republican legis lators at Albany has not been forgotton by an "mdi.r nant people, and will next December have its legiti mate fruit. It may not be amiss to inform your readers that Mayor Wood's term of office was cur tailed by the Black Republican Legislature at Alba ny in 1857, and his defeat etfected at the pels by a combination of Know Nothings, Black Republi cans, and all the disaffected elements of the city. At that election Mr. Wood received 41,008 votes, and was defeated b- only a small majority. Being fully aware that he possesses the confidence of all true Democrats Mr. Wood boldly proclaims himself a candidate for the mayoralty. The ex mayor pos sesses executive talent of a high order, and lias a thorough knowledge of public affairs. Few men have-been more unjustly abused than he. While many would have sunk beneath the lead of treach ery and venomous abuse which has been hauled at him. Mr. Wood has braved all opposition, and now he again enters the political arene,fully equipped for the coming strife. More anon. Yours truly. W. COME TO THE FAIR. The Sixth Annual Fair of the Cumberland Coun ty Agricultural Society, will be held at Eavettevillo on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the 2d, 3d, and 4th days of November next.

'No pains will be spared to make the ar rangements for the Fair comple; and we now appeal ro tne people ot our Countey to come lorward ana prove that they have county pride enough, with in dustry, enterprise and public spirit to back it, to make this Fair excel any previous one and to rank far ahead of any other County Fair in the State. The importance of such an institution for advan cing the interests of the Farmer, the Mechanics and the Manufacturer, cannot be doubted. It has un its object the creation of an honest and laudable spirit of emulation among them, by increasing their efforts to excel in their respective departments. This is an age of improvement and progress, and it is the interest of all to keep pace with it. One important Step in accomplishing that object is to build up and sustain exhibitions of industry and enterprise where all may meet together, view each other's works, compare notes, increase in knowledge, and take fresh courage in their respective pursuits. An in stitution having such objects in view cannot fail to meet the approbation and support of all. We now invite our fellow-citizens to come and join with us, and to bring with them for exhibit ion every thing they may have; and we promise to do every thing in our power to make the occasion one of interest, profit aitd pleasure to every one. We trust that our citizens generaly will exert themselves to make every department of our exhibition com plete. We look to the ladies to fill Floral Hall. They have always performed this part well, amd ;is Up time is rapidly approaching, we hope they will In ready again to prove that those who look to them m a good cause never look in vain.
