McQuigg,Esq., a prom inent Republican of this city, announ -cing his deteimination to support Gree ley and Brown in the pending canvass, Mr. McQuigg is well known in this city, where, up to the present cam paign, he has inyariably acted with-the Republican pirty. He was in the Union Army fi$re years, having been wounded at Gettysburg, where he was promoted for ImeritorioUs services on the field,' he halving enlisted as a pri vate in the 13thj New . York Regiment. After the war he was detailed on duty in the Freedmen's Bureau at this place, in which position he acted until 1867, when he resigned and went into busi ness. Ever .Since he has been old enough to vote he has been a consistent and unwavering Republican, but believ ing that the ejection of the ticket pre sented at Cincinnati and emphatically endorsed And renominated at Baltimore is the only means ofdnsuring peace and prosperity to our distracted country and doing way with the fraud and cor ruption which is so rife throughout her . borders, he has determined to take a decided stand for Greeley and Brown.

Next morning we set out for Hotel, to fill the engagement of our candidates at that place. Between two and three hundred people bad assembled to listen to the candidates for Governor and At torney General, and throughout paid marked attention. Merrimon and the Democratic ticket will certainly carry Surry, the people are determined and the candidates are throughly canvassing the county. A circular letter has come to light m this county with John Pool's name to it which asks of ihe party to whom it is addressed if he can give the name of some one who would be an active worker in the campaign. This, we suppose, me au s some onewno wouia -thoroughly circulate such infamous falsehoods as are, contained : m the document "Read and Circulate'''-which are thrown upon' the world.

This, I think, was the finest effort Judge Merrimon has made since he. left Greensboro. . Charles Price, Esq!., is the Democratic candidate for the Senate from the Dis trict composed if the counties of Ro wan and Davie and is opposed by Dr. J. G. Ramsey. I regret tq say that Mr. Prifce is comfined to his bed by sick ness and consequently cannot at present take part in the canvass. The candi-; dates tor the Houseiot Representatives are": Charles Anderson, Democrat, and N. W. Lillington, Republican. Gentlemen tell me; that the feeling is strong for bur candidates in this county", and that it will so Democratic. The canvass will be a thorough one, and our ticket is gaining strength every day, notwithstanding the union are being revived, and noia nightly meetings. - A stroke of policy; is being played by the Republicans in Yadkin and Wilkes counties. The Revenue othcials do not now raid on illicit distilleries, and have not beeu doiDg so for some time, truss ing thereby to gain votes.

'. . -, f. .Is The Northern people say his throne of iniquity and usurpation has assumed such fearful proportions and startling potency that its shadow has so fallen upon their territory, and vision as not to be insensible as to the character of coming events, in case he is re elected. And they have pledged to buckle on their patriotic armor and ! battle with and for us, until " Ides " of November, at which period they are confident the shouts of our victorious hosts will not only make the welkin ring, but the kingdom of a despot w ill be demolished, and the temple of liberty erected upon its ruins. Their eyes are turned with great, solicitude to our August election. And well they may, and every other lover of liberty, for our success in No vember depends, to a great extent, upon it. North Carolina will be the. first gun to fire in the cause of freedom and deliverence, and I trust that it may be so directed that the mercenary columns of our adversary shall be forever broken and dispersed, and the welcomed shout of victory shall reverberate trom the hills of Maine to the gulf-washed shores of Louisiana.

I We left the hospitable abode of Mr. G. W. Johnson, at Farmington, on Fri day and after a ride of twenty-eight miles, reached tne pretty town of Salis bury. On the road between these two points, we have a fine view of a slope of magnificent farming country, about as good as any we have seen, and every where in thi3 upper country the crops are in fine condition, especially corn: N . We are stopping at the Boyden House, Col. C. S. Brown; Proprietor, whoNntertains his guests in a style which convinces one that he knows his business. Hie is always found polite and attentive the wishes and com fort of his gues Salisbury is anxold town of about three thousand inhabitants, and bas a number of handsome residences, . the grounds of which are laidoff in a style which shows the taste and refinement, "of their owners. The object of interest to the stranger is the office in which General Jackson lived when he studied law in this place. It is a small build ing, situated on the lot of Judge Boy den, and, though showing many marks of age and decay, yet it is taken good care ot by its owners. It is appropriate that this link iu the chain which con nects us with the past should be pre served, and that visitors should be al lowed to view the place of residence of a man who was afterwards to play so important" a part in the history of his country. a -: - . . - . In company with Hon. F. E. Shober and A. H. Boyden, Esq., wo left this place on Saturday morning for Gold Hi!, & distance of fitteen miles, where ' - ' 1 ' " " '" I ' !! - j Jutige Merrimon was to speak that day . As the time for the speeches had not arrived," your correspondent availed himself of this opportunity to visit the goldmines. .These mines are operated by a North ern: Company bnd are said to be a fruit ful source of ealth. One of the shafts ia seyen hut dred feet deep and the other two " hi ndred. Not being very inquisitive in regard to the operations belpw the surface, we did not go down thenk We sa the various machinery by which the gold is separated from its place of despo-iit, which was quite in teresting. I have not space to relate the process by which it is done ; and, besides, many of your readers! arc al ready familiar with it. Between three and fcur hundred peo ple had congn gated on the grouad to be&t our candidate for Governor speak; the place set Kpart beirg the porch of -the hotel, which was festooned with "evergreen rose3, &c.i ths w,ork of ladies, and presented a very pretty appearance. Owing to the wind, the place ' was changed to another point. ! '- '- Y'-'Xt 1 " Judge Merri aaoaf spok'e a little over three hours, rt taining the attention of his audience t the close; his. speech being an able exposition of the princi ples which should be the guide of gov ernments in tha conduct of their aflairs, and contbinin the long . list 1 of the enmes of the Radical party since it came into power. Before the close of bis speech, Judge Merrimon requested his triends to remain and hear Df. J. G. Ramsey, who would reply to him. Dr. Ramsey is the Republican candi date for the frenate from this-county ' and Imvie. also trrant elector. 1 1 Mad heard of him before and when he rose to reply to Judge Merrimon, I took a position so that I might hear him and take botes on his speech : J The speaker, however, did not at tempt to answer the arguments ot Judge Merrimon. He first touched on State affairs, then on National, then on Na tional, then spoke of kuklux, &c, and made a characteristic Radical speech. It did not contain an argument, and I heard nothing from the speaker which I considered , worthy of mention. The Dr. succeeded only once pr twice in ob taining feeble applause from hisK sable hearers. Before he had concluded, ruo3t of the whites had left him. Late in the afternoon, we commenced our return to Salisbury and arrived about half past eight o'clock, having spent a pleasant day, and a profitable one, we trust, to the Democratic party. On Monday, the crowd began to as semble earlv for the purpose of hearing our candidate at this place, and at the time of the speaking, over six hundred people had assembled in the large;Court House. The large crowd frequently greeted the speaker's remarks with prolonged and loud applause. I Our . friends are in high spirits and were very much gratified with Judge Merrimon's effort here and Gold Hill, and . the impression he has created wherever he has gone is one; which cannot easily be eradicated. Rowan, as a matter of coarse, is all right for our ticket, and you may expect good news in August. I The Democratic ticket is composed of the following gentlemen : For the Senate from the district composed of this county and Davie, Charles Price, for the House of Representatives, Dr. F. N. Luckey, who was a member of the last Legislature, and Kerr Craige; Dr. J. G. Ramsey, for the Senate, and J. A. Ramsey and Levi Trexler for the House, are their apponents. j j The Radical ticket stands no chance whatever; the county being largely Democratic. We start from here to-night to Brower's Mills, . in Randolph' county, having spent a most pleasant time in Salisbury and leaving it with much regret. B.

Merrimon, will receive the votes of nj majority of the ' people of North Carolina. We are all enthusias tic here on tho election question, and Iredell county will poll a larger vote than it has ever done since the late un pleasantness, Jita Foot and-Tom Cooper notwithstanding, although they "are dog3 in the manger," but they -are such small fry that they, are not of much consequence, and therefore, we will let them work their ; own . way, in fraud, and tobacco dealing. : " The colored canvasser, Geo.

There never has been, since the days ot 1840, such a determination in the people to vote, and they are all ; going to the polls, and better than all, hey are going to put the right kind of vote in the ballot box, and we look with confidence to see Merrimon's majority swell up to twenty-one 'thousand. We say hurrah for Greeley and Merrimon ! and after the first Thursday of August, we will then say hurrah for Greeley, for we will then have -Merrimon as our Governor, and with the gallant Hughes and the State ticket straightout, iNorth Carolina will be once more redeemed lrom the thraldom of former days, and we will be made to breathe free again.
