F. Pearce, with Mr. W.'M. Parker as Secretary. Mo8t earnest, able, and patriotic speeches were delivered by Messrs. B. R. Husko, R. P. Buxton, T. C. Fuller, and W. A. Huske, in which the Union feeling of conservative North Caro lina was powerfully appealed to against a dissolution of the Union upon the mere ground of the election of a man, however bad, who has committed no act of hos tility to any section as yet, and cannot do so whilst both Houses of Congress and the Judiciary are opposed to him, as they now are and are likely to be during his entire administration, should he be elected. There will be a Meeting and Torch Light Procession this Evening, preparatory to the Election to-morrow, when every Patriot is expected to do his duty faithfully, and it is hoped etTectually, so far as North Carolina at least is concerned. A Disapi'ointmmest.—People here are so familiar with the powers of D. K. McRae, Esq., as a political speaker, that there was a feeling of regret, even among those who do not sympathise with his views, at his in ability to make hia expected speech on Saturday last. A violent cold and sore throat prevented his coming. Census of Bl.\de.\.—In our last, we intended to com pare the returns for 1850 with the present: but the com parison was omitted. The following figures show the ditlerence of population at the two periods: 1850. I860, "'hites, 5.049 6,2:19 Free colored, 360 4-jy Slaves, 4,;?68 5,327 ToUl, 9,7t)7 11,995 It will be seen that the white population has increased 1,190; free colored, 69; slaves, 969. Total increase since 1850, 2,228, equal to 23 per cent. Thk Wii.MiVrtTOX H.\iLRO.\ns.—From the Journal we learn that the gross receipts of the W. & W. road for the year ending 30th Sept. were $500,2t)9 57, an in crease of $22,654 82 over the preceding year. The operating expenses were $253,714 93, leaving a net in come of S246,494 64. The gross receipts of the W. & ^L road have been a- bout S469,00i>, a decided advance on the preceding year. On Friday, 12 shares of this stock sold at auctiou at $•">5, 5 at j;55 .W, 5 at $.j6 50, 10 at §57 50, 5 at S59, and 20 at 57 75; and in demand at these advanced prices. Grk.^t Yield of Corn.—The Wilmington Journal has a certificate that an acre of land on the plantation of E. D. Hall. Esq., in Holly Shelter District, New Hanover county, yielded 122J bushels of corn. We are glad that Holly Shelter District yields some thing gooil. It has heretofore been noted for a prolific crop of Democrats. A Sn.\BBV Tku'k.—Es-Gov. Reid is out with a long letter in the Winston Sentinel of the 2d inst., and al.-^o in pamphlet form. Such a publication, just on the eve of the election, of a batch of false charges, is a discred itable trick even for one who has Gov. Reid's reputation for cunning. He aims neatly the whole letter against Douglas and Johnson. With that we have nothing to ilo. But in the single paragraph devoted to Mr. Bell he per petrates such calumnies as the following: — "Although living in a slave State Mr. Bell has gene rally voted against tlie South upon questions all'ecting the institution of slavery.” This is a shameful calumny, of which Gov. Reid ought to be ashamed. It is not true, and as Gov. Held makes no attempt to prove that it is true, we are at liberty to infer that he knew that he could not prove it. H.\rnett Coc.ntt.—\ letter to the Editors says.— “There is but little excitement in this section about the election. There was a Mass Meeting advertised by the Breckinridge party in Averasboro' on the 1st inst. I do not think there were more than 100 present, and of that number not one to mount the stump and cry aloud for the harmonious Democracy of Harnett, though there were several present who figure pretty largely when there is a nomination to make for the Legislature ” The •Spoils.—A Very Sm.'^ll Bonk to (^carrel Over.—We noticed the small matter of Gubernatorial spite towards the Standard, in taking from it the usual publication of the advertisement of the School Distri bution, (worth J12. we believe.) The act is the more remarkable in view of the fact that the Editor of the Standard was formerly a m«mberof the Literary Board, is a Trustee of the University, and had always been so much interested in the Common School system as to have been unanimously called, last year, upon the nomination of Gov. Ellis himself, to preside over that most respectable body the Educational Convention. But it seems that the Newbern Progress and the Golds boro’ Rough Notes have also been slighted by the Gov’r. The following is from the Rough Notes—and they are rough indeed: — ^'•Government Patronage—Adveriittng of the Full Du- trUution of the School Fund—Growling over the lion*.— The advertisement of the Fall Distribution of the Com mon School Fund has been ordered into and appeared in the columns of several of our contemporaries, and the balance of them, who expected it, are growling like bears with sore heads. Pennington of the Progress charges boldly and unequivocally that the Governor had promised it to him, even without solicitation. Well, Pennington and the Governor may settle that between them; but if it is so, and, until contradicted, we are bound to believe it, it places Governor Ellis in no very enviable position. Indeed if his Excellency went half as far in his syco phantic promises, a.« the elitor of the Progress repre sents him to have gone, he was evidently, not simply sUKiping beneath, but actually stepping entirely beyond his otlicial dignity. Let that pass. “Then Holden, of the Standard, is tgnored in this matter, and the advertisenieut given to the Press. That’s not our business. Holden can fight his own battles and defend his own cause. We incurred the displeasure of tlie “Court” for our unfaltering adherence to the cause of Holden, in 1858, when he was tricked and cheated out of the Office which Governor Ellis now tills, by men whom, it appears, even Mr. Holden is now willing to promote to office; and, for some cause, unknown to us, we have since fallen under Holden s displeasure, and 80 the world wags. We are perfectly willing that the Press and every other paper in the State—Douglas, Bell and Breckinridge—sliould have the advertisement, but we heartily condemn the petty vindictiveness, by what ever motives prompted, which withheld it from the Standard, or the State policy which refused it to our co temporary of the Tribune, or the contemptible churlish ness which Jirxt hesitated to bestow it on ourself and— then didn t do it. But, neither the Governor nor the Literary Board had promised it to ua; and though we liine bl*d pretty freely for the democracy, and even for Governor Ellis, we had sinned in 1868, and expected to be punished. “But now the Governor, the “Court,” and all the dis tributors ol State pap, may learn, now and forever, that as u-e depend solely on the Democratic masses, for our support, and publish a paper to sustain pure Democratic principles, we can live without them, and are resolved not to grumble. W e will only remark that the cause tor passing by the Goldsboro’ papers is patent, and it is too petty to obtain an abiding place, in the heart of the weakest magnanimity, even for a moment. That * our sentiments.” Our esteemed cotemporary of the Fayetteville Obser ver indignantly questions the truth of an assertion made by us a few weeks ago to the effect that some of the Bell speakers objected to Mr. Breckinridge on the ground that he was a poor man. We have the author ity of the Asheville Newt* fur the statement, and as that journal is one of the most reliable on our exchange list, we see no reason why we should refuse credence to it. The Bell men about this vicinity, are too smart to make any such objection, as they well know it would raise a storm of indignation against them, that they would be unable to quell, but that it has been a part of their electioneering tactics in other places, we do not question. Wirulon StntineL. Wherever the silly story origixiated, ary man gified with a thimble full of brains ought ta know that it is not true. No public speaker has ever proved himself such a fool, to say nothing else, as to object to any candidate for oft ce in this country on the ground that he is poor. The Sentinel has a variety of otlier equally menda cious stories, which also appear as editorial, but which we hope, for its own sake, i»«re “hooked” from the I[«wa iom« other luoh iouroe SrrRions Chivalry.—Of all the *p«oimens of chiv alry the world ever heard of, that avowed by the lead ing secession organ in South Carolina, in the following paragraph, seems to us to be the least chtvalric:— “If we understand the signs of the times, (says the Mercury,) South Carolina must exercise her sternest wisdom in electing her Governor for the next two years. We cannot, by any effort of reason or imagination, re alize the dread^. ’ catastrophe of her submission to Black Republic a domination. That domination, in the General Government, seems now to be certain. South Carolina should allow it to rest upon her not a day—not an hour. That day should be anticipated by action. By right, no power on earth can dispute her will over her destinies. No power on earth, we are satisfied, situated as South Carolina is in the heart of the South, surrounded by powerful States identified with her in institutions and destiny, can dispute her success fully. Nor, if w.e act promptly, before Black Republi- cunifm get* postession of the Oentral Ooiernmmt, will there be much difficulty (we think) in gathering around her such in array of power, with our sister Southern States, .‘o command the peaceful aajuitscence of the pre sent Ath/nni*tration at Washington.” “Surr .nded by powerful States,” South Carolina can act fearlessly. If there is any fighting to do, those powerful States will have to do it! Isn’t that a noble thonghti And South Carolina avows her determination to act alone, without consulting those “powerful States,” becau-.e, if consulted, she knows they would not con sent to go with her, but she feels sure that they will be forced to unite with her, against their will, after she has seceded! And all this is chivalry! Is IT Possible?—The Charleston Mercury, so we learn from the National Intelligencer, proclaims that Mr. Buchanan will consent to a peaceable dissolijtion of the Union! The Mercury saya:— “Before Messrs. Lincoln and Hamlin can be installed in Washington as President and Vice President of the United States, the Southern States can dissolve peace ably (ice know what us sag) their union with the North. Mr. Lincoln and his Abolition cohorts will have no South to reign over. Their game uill be blocktd.” I In a subsequent issue the Mercury expressed the j opinion that Mr. Buchanan would oppose no obstacles I to the secession of South Carolina, and in its number of I Tuesday last intimates a similar programme of opera- I tions. I A Slavisu Sentiment.—The Raleigh Democratic ) Press, (Breckinridge.) which is in high favor with “the powers that be” in our State Government, says, in re ference to events if Lincoln should be elected, “_4« goes Virginia, \orth Carolina will go'” Any North Carolinian ought to be ashamed of such a i truckling sentiment. It is not that North Carolina shall consider and decide for herself, as she is abund antly able to ilo, what course her rights and her in terests call upon her to take, but that she will blindly follow Virginia! «jut upon such a detestable proposi tion! which comes worthily from a paper that falsely charges that “John Bell has voted against the South in every instance.” We say falstly changes. And from 4 paper that styUs Thomas L. Clinginan a “life-long Demc>crat.” No D.\nger.—It is manifest, from such of the Repub lican papers as we see, that the North does not believe in the existence of any real danger to the Union. “The federal government may be overthrown,” says the N. V. World, “but the men are not yet born who will over throw it.” This is from one of the moderate papers, professing to be conservative, but evidently deeply im bued with Republicanism, and it proceeds to indulge itself iu a column of ridicule of Southern professions of determination to resist. “Nero fiddled while Rome was burning.” The Times, a more bitter Black Republican, says,— “The best informvd of our Southern correspondents begin to assure us that the extreme excitement which has for some time past reigned throughout the Southern States, iu anticipation of the election of Mr. Lincoln, already exhibits symptoms of decline.’’ \ our best informed correspondents deceive you, Mr. Times. If we know any thing about Southern feeling, the extreme excitement is becoming more extreme every day, as the conviction forces itself t^at a purely sec tional g«verninent is tor the first time to be inaugurated and upon a principle of hostility to the institutions of fifteen of the States. With or without reason for ex citement about it, such is the fact. Again, says the Times,— ^ “For long y‘;ars the Democracy of the South have maintaiued their power at home by professing peculiar devotion to Slavery, by insisting upon its extension, and by assiduous etforts to persuade the people of its value; wnile they have compelled their Northern allies to acquiesce in their demands by threatening to break up the party, and the Union itself, if resisted. This stamliiig menace of disunion has so invariably succeed ed that Its authors have come to regard it as infallible, in its ettects upon the timid and conservative masses of the free States; and it is not surprising that it is still persisted in by the haughty and bigoted propagandists of Slavery, alter it has become apparent to all sensible men iu this part of the Union, that the argument has lost its force.” Yes, the argument has lost its force. But we are sadly apprehensive that the Times will see the wolf at ast, after all the foolish menaces of bis coming. The N(»w York Evening Post oomplaius that “the policy and purposes of the Republican party are not much belter understood by the great body of the people in the South to-day than they arc in Mongolia or Crlm- Tartary.” “The boot is on the other leg.” It is the North that does not understand Southein feeling. Falseuooi> Cokrectei*.—Senator Bright of Indiana publishes an emphatic denial of the story of the Cin cinnati Enquirer that he had voted for the Republican Candidate for Governor at the late Slate election. He did not vole for any republican. In closing his letter he denounces Step'hen A. Douglas as a “traitor to party and to principle.” Baltimore.—All the parties have had torch light processions in Ihe Monumental city. The Bell and hv- erett procession numbered about 8,(MKt, with 50,000 people in the streets. The Breckinridge procession 2,6(X(, the Douglas proc“Ssion 800, and the Republicans 150. E.xcitement in New York.—A New York paper says, —“Political excitement in this city is now at the very highest pitch, and all parties are anxiously looking foi the arrival of Tuesday next, when the great battle, in volving mighty interests, will be fought. It is useless to speculate as to the result. Probably 110,000 votes will be cast in this city, against »0,0UU, the highest vote ever before given here.” Railruau Stopped.—The Directors of the Georgia Air-line railroad, at Atlanta, Geo., have resolved, “in view of the unsettled state of public afil'airs, and the depression in the financial condition of the country consequent thereon,” to suspend operations until their next meeting on the 27th inst. Clerk and Master in —Alfred M. Waddell, Clerk and Master in Etjuity for the county of New Hanover, resigned his office atthi.s term of the Court, which closed its session yes terday, and DuBrutz Cutlar, Esq. was appointed by His Honor, Jud}e French, to fill the vacancy. Wil. Herald. Sentenced.—We understand that His Honor Judge French has sentencod Peter,* a slave con victed of the crime of rape, to be hung on Friday, the 30th of this month. As yet no appeal bond has been given, and we suppose no appeal will be taken.— Wilmington Journal. Rejoicing over Black Republican Success.— The kSouthern Democratic Banner, the Br«c*kin- ridge organ at Franklin, Ky., says: “ We do heartily rejoice over the defeat of Mr. Douglas in Indiana.” The hearty joy which this Breckin ridge organ acknowledges at the success of the Black Republican ticket in Indiana, ia shared by the whole of the Breckinridge organs and leaders throughout the country. It is the joy of a faction over the success of its allies—ay, the joy of a &Mtioo over its own IFA^. Norfolk, Nov. 2. Gov. Wise in Norfolk.—The Opera House was crammed to overflow last night to hear Gov. Wise. He was received with tumultuous enthusiasm, the people rising up on their saats, waving their hats, and giving long continued cheers. He made one of the greatest speeches of his lite, defended his position and the Princess Anne resolutions, sus tained the organization of Minute Men through out the State, and denounced as traitors all those who would not stand by the South. The Princess Anne resolutions were adopted by the meeting amid great enthusiasm. Gov. Wise speaks in Portsmouth to-morrow night. Baltimore, Nov. 2. The Black Rejmblicans in Baltimore.—The Black Republican meeting here last night was finally broken up by the exasperated outsiders. The orators were rotten-egged, hissed and yell ed out of countenance. Two hundred policemen were required to pro tect the Niggerites from violence and personal injury. Some were badly brickbatted and the whole party thoroughly routed. Maryland is certain lor IJell. New Orleans, Nov. 2. Krplonion.—The steamer Mill, running be tween this city and Memphis, exploded her boiler on Wednesday night. There was a large number of passengers on board. Thirty persons were killed, and between forty and fifty others badly scalded. The Hon. James B. tUlay, one of Breckinridge’s most ardent supporters in Kentucky, recently used the following language: '‘/ do ii0t claim, nor do any of his friends claim, that John C. Breckinriilge is the regular nominee.” FAYETTEVILLR MARKKT.-Novembe, 5. RICHMOND COUNTY FAIR. DIED, D-ANIEL B.

There is one crushing rejoinder with which the Cnion men of the country may meet and annihilate the assumed right of the Democratic party to challenge every other party which dis putes its possession of power as un.sound on the subject of slavery, and consc(juently as incom petent to conduct the government with safety and success. It is this: How have they discharged the trust which has been committed to their hands? They have bad, with few exceptions, the Presi dents and Vice Presidents, majorities in both Houses of Congress and in State Legislatures, the distribution of official patronage and the moulding of public opinion iu every shape and form. Not satisfied with majorities legitimately obtained, they have endeavored by tyrannical and unconstitutional gerrymanders, as in the flagrant instance of Virginia, to crush out altogether the voice of respectable minorities, so that their political opponents should be left without any of the privileges of freemen, except paying taxes and bearing arms. * # * They have had full swing in every department of official and political influence, and what have they done with the trust committed to their hands? We know that they have proved themselves capable of taking excellent care of themselves; they have become so sleek and plump with official juices that they lard the lean earth as they walk along, and look like a procession of prize cattle going to an agricultural fair, but what have they done with the country? Alas! whilst they are iu good condition, the country, once so pros perous and united, has been devoured and desolated. We insist that the Democracy, which has had the power, is alone responsible for the administration of that power, and for the present condition of public affairs. They have not only had the power, but they have been favored with every possible advantage for its success ful exercise. A Constitution which is the perfection of human wisdom; a country whose vast variety and extent of agricultural and mineral resources gave it capacities of recuperation which enables it to rally under shock* that would overthrow the proudest em pires of Europe; a diversity of production and labor which constitute a real identity of interest; vast Western territories affording'a safely valve for the ele ments of disatfection and discontent; internal improve ments, uniting and bringing near the most remote parts of the Confederacy with links of iron; a physical con figuration which seemed to forbid the possibility of dis solution; a homogeneous race of inhabitants, practiced for centuries in the same Anglo-Saxon school of self- government, united by consanguinity, and by common ties of language and religion—these are the elements of strength which the Union possessed, but which have all proved too weak to resist the Democratic mal-admin- istration of public ati'airs. Is it for party which, with such advantages for pro- moling the happiness and prosperity of the country, had brought it to the verge of Disunion and Civil War, to challenge the capacity of any party to conduct the Government with safety, and. above all. that Union party which has repeatedly saved the country, as iu the I>eriod of the Compromise, from the ruinous consequen ces of Democratic mismanagement and misrule? Is it for those unskilful pilots who have brought the stoutest ship of Slate that was ever built out of the smoothest and safest channel that ever vessel floated in. and man aged to strike her upon the only rock in the wide ocean that could by any possibility put her in peril, to forbid every Union mariner on board from putting his head above the hatches lest they should run the vessel on the breakers of Abolition and Dissolution?—Balt.
