The Hepublicah dissensions are f ully equal , to those threatening the unity and success of the ; Democratic party.4 A cfirsory examination of the Republican papers for a few weeks, past shows that it is - not a happy ; family they - represent.. In factjJLlio views i of .these papers are more discordant than those of the opposite party, if . possible. y. The Jle publ leans feel this so much that they are beginning to urge : harmony among themselves if they would cap tiirt! the ; next Legislature : and . elect the Representatives some are claiming- ' The last Asheville;-Vec, a Re publican paper, has this to say: ' Tlus is no time j for dissensions and strife. If we succeejd in the campaign of the coming summer we will need the united strength of the entire party, with as many recruits as possible. . We must let past is sues thnt have been settled by the people re main settled, and go into ; the campaign upou4he live issues of the day.- The ques- tion ot county governments is being' agi tated to a greater, extent than many of the Democratic papers will admit.. Noth with standing it is frequently asserted that the . people of this section are satisfied with the present system, we hear many Democrats complaining bitterly ; of it; ana saying that they will no longer vote with a party that advocates and upholds this obnoxious mfr thod of electing county officers." Why 7 do ' not these jcomplaining Democrats go farther . and demand that Postmasters, Federal" Supervi sors, &c.", shall be elected by the peo ple also? Why expend their strength' over tlve election of magistrates, &c? Why not strike deeper j and go for the most "obnoxious", officials? Why stop half -way in their attempts to ' cure what, they profess to regard as an evil thafc is unbearable, although they bore the very evil all through. the century until the carpet-bagger; came down and introduced Northern "methods," that : brought , in their train much' trouble. j : . , ;.. It is re illy very absurd to hear the people, (or is it not the! demagogues pretending to speak for them?) com plaininer of an "obnoxious method" that : had prevailed ' before- the wary and without their feeling or knowing that thev were -being outraged in their: liberties and rights.

Police Brock, "and left for home with his son yes terday morning. Mr Moore, who is a re spectable farmer and to all.appearanees a very clever gentleman, ; says his boy : has been in the habit of going off for a-day or two and returning at will,-and he had f re-r quently furnished him money to .spend on these occasions: but this time it seems he went to Philadelphia and wandered to one pf the wharves, where he took passage, on a vessel bound to Savannah; whence he made his; way to this place. During this time Mr. Moore 1 bad not heard from him and knew nothing of bis whereabouts until he received the letter from. Chief Brock, which came very opportunely to reuevebintof his great anxiety. -.The voting man has a sister in the asylum at Trenton, N.

Expected to Draw. . V" One business man on- the wharf called at the office of another, a few days since, and told him that he expected to come into pos session of ; about five thousand dollars in a day or two and wanted to know ' if. his friend didn't want the use of it, as he would have no immediate use for it himself. The yptl"mftti tn whom tbe. 'proposition was made declined witb .thanks, the" proffered courtesy. But a short time elapsed, how ever, before he saw where about three thousand of the offered five thousand might yield a profitable investment, and. though he might have got the amount from the bank, he preferred to oblige his friend by accenting the proffered loan. ' He there upon . hunted i him a up and. told him? he would now be obliged to - him for -three thousand dollars for a short time, as he had hit upon a chance for using it to advantage':;;-"-; ;.'.j; '.. -vv y:;:J--:x The other replied that he was sorry to say that he had been .disappointed in get ting the expected five thousand. . .. "A rather unpleasant disappointment," rejoined his friend -to a man' expecting such an amount." j ! "Yes, rather," replied the other. . :The fact is," he continued, "I had a ticket in the Louisiana lottery,' and clearly expected to draw the amount tendered you, but when it came to the pinch I drew a confounded blank. Sorry I can't Oblige you 1": ' ' I At this stage of the interview the. would-;, be borrower recollected an appointment he had elsewhere. " " . ' ' : ' ' ' The schooner Minnie, Capt. Wicks, of 299 tons burthen bound- from ; New -York . to Charleston, with a cargo of guano and empty torrels. went ashore on Frying Pan Shoals, five mile south of the Life Saying Station No. 25; near the mouth of the Cape Fear, about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. The officers J and ' crew were saved by the attaches of the Life-saving Station, but the vessel -Will probably prove a total loss.
