"THE LITTLE ADDEU." : There aro aoue singularitiey about this little sheet J which is lying beforo us, which we propose to notice briofiVuTbli little "sornent,'.' ai our resdou may (and perhaps may not) know, was gotten up, (or out) as Ita name imports, In opposition to the l.tilU Ad, which title is simply a contraction of the words ad r' lorem, or, according to Taluo, Which -principle tho little sheet industriously and ably ad,rocutca. Tiif namo ts cntircW legitimate it it pnper, It.is correct. There it nothing strained or far fftobod about it.- - It is emi nently natural and appropriate. The Utile- Ai is what its name sets forth an ad Talorem theet. It is Tery popular and deservedly so. Now, by tho addi tion of a single syllable, we hne tho name and title of the little sheet before us, the At'le A-Mtrj - Why this name? It there anything appropriate in it? Is it natural? IsitAtting? Tho adder, ercrj body knows is a poisonous repiilo, whose bite is, in tho nbsenco of an antidote, death. Webster says tho adder is "a venomous serpent of sevcrat species, belonging to tho rir family." .Eop gives us a most excellent fable of the man who, finding a riytr Ijontimbed and appa rently dead from exposure to the winter's cold, took pity upon it, and placed it in his own bosom, and car ried it homo to his family, where the kindly atten linns of himself and children, and the -genial warmth of the sorinl hearth, warmed the .reptile into life. But all this kindness' failed to change the nature of the vicious thing, and iiicr. like, ho turned his fangs against the hand that nourished him, and for his base ingratitude was killed by the same hand that had been extended towards him in kin'lncni and love. Is there anything in this appropriate to the "Littlo Ad-tfcr I'ut, says the author of this ni-tlcr. "Tho Raleigh Know Nothing Convention sent fiery serpent among the people, and they bit, the people; ami mucu people oi m Mato iiicil. ' What counccf.on the H.-iU-ich Convention had with 'fiery serpents" does not appear. That Convention simply ayked the people to consider the question of equal taxation, or-d valorem. The people ir con sidered it, and ou the 2d day of August next, it will be found that those only have been "bitten" who spt themselves up in opposition to so just and righteous a measure, and they only will bo found among the wounded and the "dead.'' Therefore the people camo to u, an J said, we have inned, for we hare spoken against Know Nothingism ii days cone by, and againtt John A. tillmer, Alfred Uockery and one John Pool; tuck up thv sleeves and take thec serpents fiom us. And wo tucked up our reeves. " "' " . eople have seen tho "error of their way, ' and we trust they have, they cannot be so cgregiously simple as to make yon their father eonfgasor. In- the, good book, the great enemy of mankind is designated as "that old serpent, the ilril." Now, a serpent maker, it is legitim-ite to suppose, is in some way a connec tion of tho "olJ boy,' ' and fora member of that family to undertake to "forgive sins," would be liko "Satan TUE 1U01IT SPIRIT.

"If Htll ami Evt relt gftlul two rotet in .-1aiania, tiject to git one of litem." Now, there is evinced the true spirit of a man and patriot. Suppose that all who actually prefer tho election of Bell and Uverc were animated by like feelings and like purposes. Why, in that case, there would not be a State in the 1'nion.which they would not carry by an overwhelming majority! And why should not all good citizens, of all parties, catch tho high and resoluto spirit which fires the bosom of the venerable Alabama patriot Why should not each one solemnly resolve to vote for Hell and Everett, even if no other man should? With such ea! and such a purpose, on the part of all who prefer their election, their triumph would bo certain anil glorious, and overwhelming. Look agaiu nt the reasons assigned by our Alabama friend for supporting Bell and Everett. Are they not solid, ample, altogether convincing ? To each and cl) of our renders, wc aay take courage, and imitate the lofty and patriotic example of him in Alabama, who though feebly loitering upon the very brink of the grave, is yet auiiuitt-d by a broad and generous love of country, and is anxious to perform for it a lat service by casting his vote for Bell and tverett, the defenders and champions of a common Constitution and a common I nion. 0f their order.

' GOOD NEWS. A gentleman writing ns on business from Snow Hill, Green county, concludes bis letter with the following cheering intelligence: "I have pasted through the counties of Green, Pitt, Craven, Lenoir and Wayne, sdJ have not found one Whig who will not vote for Pool. Betides, there U quite a number of Democrats who will be silent. ,' The election of Pool is considered cer tain in thii section. " j, JIOUE OF IT. K friendTwTTfing ut from Richardson's Creek, Union county, May 30, says: "I received yours, and was glad to hear the peal of that Bell. It has the ring of the true mettle. I hope Bell, Everett and Pool will be elected, and I rather believe it. It is true, my ac quaintance with Bell it very liraitedj bat I amjileascd with the nomination, and shall go soul and body for . ,ths: ti.ckte.,Ipn. will no jlouWT.I-Uiinkr-liave.out gaU lant Walkup out for Senator, and we intend to elect . him, for I know Anson is right on the subject, and . Union will do all the can for him. If it was not for selfish blindneas, Union would redeem herself and vote ad valorem. But party must lead, and the blind leading the blind, they all, I hope, -will full into the ditch, and then come to the Pool and be washed. - 'And we made a serpent and put it up beforo tho .peoplef aiidit wt!l cimid tn pnrir, that it a serpen! tmlh bitten any man, when he bcholdcth tho serpent we liatu set up, be shall live. - - Well, you have maJc'lTSerpjait of the viper species, (Webster.) and you have put it up beforo the peopre, and it it the only serpent "before" or among the peo ple, and it is a "firarm" one. "Out of the humbug sd valorem come men possessed of devils, exceeding tiercc, so that it was dangerous to puss by them. : This was manifest at tho Wake county Democratic Convention, where you were "exceeding fierce," so mueli so that your best friends found it "dangerous to pass by," and you yourselves are by this timo conl vinced that it is "dangerous to pass by" good men men who, in times past, have Idrd to. As to the "pos sessed of devils," and the "herd of swine," we read of many men who were possessed of devils in tic shape of "planks" fur a platform, who huddled together at Charleston like a "herd of swine,1' nnd grunted, and rootei', and squealed for a week, but became so "ex ceeding fierce' ' that it was dangerous to pass that way. and who, having come to the conclusion that they could no longer herd together, separated in haste and fled, seme to the North and some to the South. These men and those who met in Raleigh, are fl mting upon a sea of. trouble, and arc in danger of perishing. All the adlert Ta creation, great and small, will not suffice to save them from the sea if oblivion into which their own acts have precipitated them. In conclusion, we would soy, simply, that the little "uif valorem" is engaged in defending tho interests o the people their true interests and in relation to the other, that it is, indeed, an aiJer, and those who arc led by it, will fitld, that atlast, it "utingeth like serpent and biteth like an adder."1' ' THE LATEST REVELATIONS.

' " A letter mailed to us at Newton, Ga., says: "I am anxious that your paper may be scattered all over this land, that every fire atcr and disunionist may be able to meet with one copy. . I assure you there are many here whose hearts swell with joy and emotion at the name of John Bell and-Edward Everett, the nominees of the Union Convention, and who have pledged theni their undivided support.'1 PUBLICATIONS. The Southern Literary Meeienger tor June is very in teresting, and may be called an illustrated number. The publishers say that it is their purpose from time to time to give other illustrations. After awhile they expect to have articles illustrated especially for them.

A meeting for the ratification of the Union nomina tions made at Baltimore, was held at New Haven on the evening of the 8lh. John KJlohzrtapn, of New Haven, was chosen President. ' The firvt speaker was Austin Baldwin, of Middletown, who declare 1 that the Baltimore Convention had presented the two brightest names of tho country for tho offices of President and Vice President of the United States. He concluded by introducing Major Henry, of Tennessee, who, in the courseof lis speech 'JescriBed the sectional character of the Republican party, and pictured the tremendous ruin that must surely follow the election of its candi dates, lie showed the mutual dependence of the North anJSouth.

SHOWING UP GOVERNOR ELL1S 8 CONblS- ' TENCY'., ' During the dltowalon at Oxford, on the' 26th tilt, between Moesrt, EHla nnd Pool, dor. EIrl took occa ston to' denounce the Know Nothings, Hit competitor Mr. Pool had been a Know Nonthlng. He exhib ited to the audionce the little books or primers, which he said contained the Know Nothing Ritual, i These hooks, wore prevented to him by his predecessor Gov Brogg, and Gov. Bragg had procured them . of the wife of a Know Nothing, who itvle them from Her hus band while iie was absent, In atteudance upou a meet ing of hit lodge. . ' In reply to this Mr. Tool said Gov. Ellis had de nounced, with rauoh vchemeuoe and angor, the Know Nothings, From his competitor's language and man tier, no one would ever supposo that hi had over, had any dealings with the enemy. But let us inquiro a little iuto the fuott. A short time sinco a vacancy was created upon the Superior Court bench by tho resigna tion of the Hon. David F. Caldwoll, and who do you suppose Gov. Ellis recommended to bie eeuncil to fill this dignified and responsible office ? A Democrat t Xo. An old tint Whig t A'o. But amongst all the Democrats and Whigs in tho whole State, not a slnglo man could he find, so well qualified in An opinion, to discharge the duties of this great office as the Jlonor- able Jas. W. Osborne, a Know Nolhinj. Again, it bo came necessary to fill another vacancy upon the 8u periiu; Court bench, caused by tho election of the Hon. Matthias E. Manly to the bench of the Supreme Court. And who did Gov. Ellis recommend to hit Council to fill this vacaucy ? Mr. Green, a.ioth:r. Knoic Xothing. Again, it became Gov. Ellis's duty to appoint a Rail road Director upon tho part of the State in the Cen tral RoaJ. And who did Gov. Ellis appoint to this office ? W. T. Dortch, of Wayne, another Know Xoth- inj. Again, it becamo his duty to appoint another Railroad Director. AnJ who did Gov. Ellis appoint to this office? Wm.' K. Lane, of Wayne, another Know Xnthing, It will thus be seen, fellow-citizens, said Mr. Tool, tint as uiuch as Gov. Ellis pretends lb hate and distrust Know Nothings, yet when an office is in his gift he bestotrs it, not upon Democrats nor even Whig', but upon men who, be says, have sworn a solemn oath, from which they can rimer bo relieved, that they will nrrer support tor oltice any man who u not a member FURTHER PROOF OF MB.

The Republicans and the Americans have put their standard bearers be fore the people. For the latter it it just to say that Messrs.

Of Mr. Ham lin but littlo more can be said. He was elected to the Senate, of the United States by the Dcmocats of Maine, bcciime a traitor to their principles, and was re-elected by the Republicans. He is not known as a stitesman, nn orator, or as a man of even medium talents, having never distinguished himselef in ny way except by bis desertion of the Democratic party. Now confine the vote for these men, as it will becon fined, to the Northern Abolition States, and deduct therefrom all those who are opposed to the John Brown raid, and the other extreme abolition measures and doctrines of the Republican party; also, take'from it arttbosc honest, conservative men who fear a dissolu' tion of the Unjon, pr great disati.fne linn anil trmibtr jf the Republican candidates are elected, and also every meeting, says: "Je truth la such it the turn of the tide in Massachusetts, that It will unquestionably sweep all before it, in tlie fall election.

As contemporary remarks, the journals of the country are holding a poit mortem examination over the Democratic party. All sorts of opinions are ex pressed as to the cause of the death. The verdict of the majority appears to bo "died of Do"ug!as." One journal however, thinks it died of the nineteenth cen tury, another says it died of pld age and general im becility. A very religious journal suggests that It died of a visitation of God for itt manifold tins. A Yankee says "the Little Giant tot on it and killed it." A wag insinuates that it tumbled off the plat form and broke its neck. A Southerner says it was strangled trying to awallow Squatter Sovereignty. A Nortbener declares that its insidet were burnt out by an injudicious attempt at fire-eating. A lawyer says it died of the-Dred Scottdecision. A delegate to Charles ton says it became insolvent, owing to the hotel ex tortions of that city, and concluded to commit tuicide.
