Prx. This true and radical democrat is
making a gallant ght in bis district, and
has every prospect of a glorious victory over
his antagonists. We bare seen recently a
speech delivered by him to his constituents
replete with sound democratic doctrines.
Such representative oaght not to be bea
,ten before a constituency whom he has serv
ed so well. We are aware Ije has two op
ponents to contend against, and we regret
to sor that one of them is a democrat. .Ye
trust, as Mr. Johnson" is the recular nomi-

tire from tbo .ncidj ana tuus graceiuuy

cratic friends at hone, butccrtainly of those

1 DfMOCRATS OF TilK SUTH AND WEST, BE-
WARt-r-v c published above tbe secret cir
cular of Truman Smith, addiciscd to the
partisans of the administration in those
States in which elections for members of
Congress are now pending. We have since
been informed that more than 10s),000 cop
ies have been sent from this city, under the
auspicea of Smith, to the various congress
: 1 j;c : .u VfM ;n
elections arc yet to be held. It is the same Edward Curtis, whose officnu conduct when
system of operation adopted by the whigs in collector may be ascertained by the testimo
the presidential election ; and, if not couu- I ny of those who were examined before the
tcractcd by the vigilance and energy of the j Poindexter commission, is now supposed to
democratic party, it m.iv a-ain be attended
with results which would not be anticipated
under any fair system of electioneering.
We therefore call upon our friends in North
Caroliua, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisana,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Mary-
SOXJj iviiiuvn j Aiiuiuuay auu A' j
land, to arouse themselves aud d.eat the
. m t m
from Connecticut, who seems to le tbe maii-ot-
all-work for thisadministnttion, and ready to
resort to any base expedient to defraud the
IKK)ple of a fair expression of their sentiments
and preferences at the noils. All that is
necessary to defeat the operations of this
wooden-nutmeg senator is, vigilance, energy,
and a prompt attendance at the polls. The
present corrupt and imbecile administration
already trembles and totter?, aud is about to
fall. It has lost the confidence of the peo
ple, and cannot regain its position. Its per
fidy to its pledges, and its ruthless proscrip
tion of honest men, have excited the indig
nation and disgust of the American people.
It conduct has paralyzed the energies of its
friends, and driven from its support many
who helped to elevate it to power. Its de
feat, therefore, is .certain, if the democracy
will but do their duty. We call upon every
man of them to rally to the support of the
noble jcause which he has espoused, and re
buke the secret, insolent, and base attempt
of a Connecticut senator distinguished for
nothing else but his low political intrigues,
and his unscrupulous use of corrupt means
to attain his objects to defraud them of a
fair expression of the popular voice at the
polls. WashiHgton Union.
Sentiments of an Original Taylor
Man. Tbe anniversary of independence
was ecleba rated by a company of gentlemen
without distinction of party, in Philadelphia,
who sat down to an excellent entertainment
prepared by General Joseph Hall of that
city, who is an original Taylor man, and
who, as one of the toasts drunk on the occa
nominated General Taylor for the presi
dency." Numerous happy sentiments were
drank, and among thm tl.e following by
Cen. Hall himsejf :I- Washington Union.
By Joseph Hall General Andrew Jack
son, President John Tyler, and David It.
Porter; Three honest and eminent men; they
never lost sight of, or forgot their friends.
A Prcadentor governor, to be respected,

By Joseph Hall Hon. William M. Mere
dith : An honest man, and an ornament to
Pennsylvania; but not well versed in poli
tics, as the appointment of C. B. Penrose
and others clearly proves.
By Joseph Hall John A. Gamble: An
old acquaintance, never to bo forgotten, will
oe elected by at least U0,000 majority.
Such sentiments are very fair for an ori
ginal Taylor man. '
The democratic nominee for canal com
missioner. SE.VSONABLE HINTS.
A cotcmporary gives the following advice
for those whom it may concern.
TO THE BOYS.
Never marry a girl who is fond of being
always in the street who has a jeweled
hand and an empty head who will see
her mother work and toil while she lays in
bed and reads novel-jor feigns sickness who
is ashamed to own her mother because she
dressed plain, never learned grimmer, or
was accustomed to the etiquette of the draw
ing room who is always complaining that
she cannot get money enough to dress like
Miss So-and-so, or goes to parties like Such-a-one
who wears her shoes slipshod, or has a
hole in her stocking and is too lazy to mend
it. Should you get " such a one, depend
upon it, you will have a dirty, untidy, miser
able life of it. You will be kept poor all
your life. But the kind, affectionate, tidy
girl that helps her mother, is always ready
and anxious to accommodate mother, father,
brethern and sisters ;who is kind to the poor;
who dressed neatly and according to her
means, who is always cheerful and fond to
accommodate others ; you may marry if can
get such a treasure, and yonr home will be a
paradise. "Boys do you bear that.
JUDGE ELLIS.
We have little fancy f jr newspaper com-
limenta of Judicial officers ; but remcmbcr
ng what was said as to thc youth and inex
perience of Judge Ellis at the -time of his
election, we feel it due to the friends of that
gentleman and to the State at. large, to. con
gratulate them, upon the veiy, satisfactory
and able manner in which' he has -recently
performed the duties of his first, ridings '
Not only the members of the Bar of the
Cth Judicial Circuit, but the press of both
parties, speak of him in terms of the highest
consideration. To a knowledge of the law,
unusual in so young a many he unites a firin-1
ness of character' and- an. agreeablenesa of
manners; which render him not only a good
'Judge, but acceptable to lawyers, suitors,
and all indeed among whom the 4s called to
exexci30 Jiis funptjons. -To follow such men
on the 'Circuit as Pearson, Battle, and
others who might be mentoined, is of itself
po small d)stinctiop; .fept to succeed them
"well, to answer public expectation, and tO
attract public confidence and regard as they
have done, is an honor of which any man
might -be emulous and proudt---r?a. Stan- j

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PERSON
OF JESUS CHRIST,
As it tras found in an ancient manuscript,
tckich icas sent by pull i Lentulus as Pnst
dent ofJudea, to Oie Senate of Rome
There lives at this time in Judea, a man
of singular character, whose name is Jesus ,
Christ. The barbarians esteen him a pro-I
phet, but his followers adore liim as the ifn- .
mtP nffmrinT of the Immortal Good.!
He is endowed with such unparalleled vir-
tue, as to call back tne aeaa irom lueir
graves, and to heal every kind of disease
with a word or a touch. His person is tall
and elegantly shaped; his aspect amiable;
his hair flows in beautiful shades, which no
united colors can match, falling into grace
ful curls below his cars, agreeably couching
oo his shoulders, and parting on the crown
of his head, like the head-dress of the sect
of the Nazantes. His forehead is smooth,
and his cheeks without a spot, save that of
a lovely red. His nose and mouth are
formed with exquisite symmetry ; his beard is
thick and suitable to tne nair or tns neaa,
reaching a little below his chin, and parted
in the middle like a fork; his eyes are bright,
clear and serene. He rebukes with majes
ty, counsels with mildness, and invites with
tt jvt fonrtpt win noi
His whole address, wnefn
wnoie aoaress, wnetner in wora or
a or aeea,
being elegant, brave, and strictly character
istic of so exalted a being. No man has
seen hira laugh, but the whole world has
frequently beheld him weep ; and so persua
sive are his tears, that thc multitude cannot
withhold thcir3 from joining in sympathy
with him. He is yery modest, temperate
and wise. In short, whatever this pheno
menon may be in the end, he seems at pres
ent a man of excellent beauty, and divine
perfections; every way surpassing the chil
dren of men.
Returning to Plague.- A travelling
correspondent of the New York Sun, wri
ting from Memphis, Tenn., and who is ob
serving closely what is going on around him,
writes thus of the effect Lippard's letter i3
producing. He says :
"Lippard's letter to Gen. Taylor, in
whfch be inquires whether he was elected
under false colors or means to keep his
pledges, is much talked over, and is cre
ating a disadvantageous current as far as it
is circulated. If Gen. Taylor means to keep
his character and influence, he must not tarn-
ish his name with falsehood and double deal- We learn that Mr. Fox, in his official capa
ing for it was, exactly because the people city, has summoned the Commissioners to
luuugut mm iiuuesi. a.fju mm in nis nones
ty that they passed by the mere politicians
and made him the chief of the nation."
The Sun was a warm advocate of Gen.
Taylor, and we should judge, from the tone
of its Memphis correspondent, that healso was
l m i . mi .
an original laviorue. mere can be no
doubt about she effect being produced by
the Lippard letter. The peoble are honest,
anu, in ineir supporjioi uon. Taylor, they
were influenced a great deal by the motives
alluded to in the extract we have quoted.
Why should there not then be a reaction,
when they discover that they have been
duped? Cincinnati Inquirer.
DEATH OF MRS. MADISON.
'Just as we are preparing to go to press, we
hear with profound grief of the death, in
this city, of Mrs. MADISON, the relict
of James Madison, once the President of
the United States. . This greatly venerated,
beloved, and celeberated lady, whose loss
will be felt and regretted by the whole
country, has lingered since Sunday, and
breathed her last, at a quarter past 10 o'clock,
last night. We anticipate the grief which
will be universally felt at her loss ; but we
must reserve till to-morrow the sacred office
of paying'a porper tribute to her merfts.

IJncoln Superior Court
A special term of Superior Court com

been enlivened, during the week by the
presence of persons from the adjoining,
counties. Though the number of the citizens
, 0f Lincoln in attendance, has been less than

the determined spirit manifested by the re
publicans present, it is evident that the de
mocracy of Lincoln is awake ; and that the
necessity of a full end complete triumph
over whiggery in this county, at the ensuing

In ono of our migratory excursions, we

of Andrew Shuford, Esq. whose industry,
aided by the superior taste of his excellent
lady, has converted what was once a wilder-
ness into a well improved farm, adorned,
around the comfortable dwelling, with roses,

MOUNTAIN CREEK GOLD MINE.
Being in the neighborhood a few ' days
' since, we called and dined with the courteous
young Gentleman who manages the mining
operations of Messrs. Cau3ler & Shuford.'
Near the mill, which has been constructed
upon a simple and economical plan, for grind
ing the oar, several buildings have been
erected for the accommodation of the opera
tives, giving the place almost the appearance,
of business village. Though the stream
which drives the mill and supplies water for
washing, is not very large, yet if used eco
nomically, the operations are capable of al
most indefinite extent.
The mine, a mile, perhaps, from the mill
is on a hill-side,. near the top of the highest
point of land in the neighborhood. The
surface, and the clay down to the slate, em
bracing a large space, is exceedingly rich i
The veins of oar, small but numerous, run
irregularly downwards, alL however, conver
ging to one point below, where, oa going
deep enough, win doubtless, be found the
main stem which, like the trunk of a tr6e,
seems to send up branches in every direc-
1 tion. . ' '
The work is carried on upon a moderate,
scale; but we .have no doubt, that if a large
amount of labor trero employed, tho - results
would ecHose manv of the Califdrniaaccounta,
The proprietors, however, while they leisurely

OCK ISLAND WOOL FACTORY'
I We -learn, with pleasure, th it the propri

Young, and Grier, have every rospeot 6f
diing a good business.' This factory which
isfsupplied with the finest machinery yet in.
t reduced into the country, as situated on the
qatawba, ten miles SoutJh Wes 5 of Chaxlott.
Operation i have just been commenced. Tho
vklue of the labor," chiefly female, is about
$8,00 a day, consuming frorx 80 to 100
pounds of wool, and producing on an avcr
fiwe, about 200 yards of Cloth, worth from
45 to 75 cents per yard. We have seen sam
pies of this cloth ; and although we -profess
uot to be much of a judge, yel wo Iiesitale
tot to say that it will prove more serviceable,
and consequently more salable than any
northern oloth brought to this niarket.1 H

The indications now are that the day is
hot for dislaut, when the clatter of profita
tie machinery will be heard ill along ' the
batawba, from -its source to th j low country,
where fall enough cannot be tad to drive
machinery.
At the High Shoals, on the South Fork,
below this town, there is water power to any
tent ; and the strong probability is that, in
ia few years, a large manufacturing village!
will spring up there
At Mostey er's Paper Mill, ks we . ascen

ry of our friend Stowe, whose enterprise
is giving an impetus to industry that will bo
sensibly felt in the progress cf manufactu

Next, higher up the stream, stands thej

We are happy to learn that this popular
cnampion ot democracy, s doing immense
service to tns cause ot republican principle
wherever he appears; that his lucid expo
sures of the federal schemes of the Deberry
ites, are making a deep impression upon th
public mind in the lower end of the district
and that, if the enthusiasm evidently : aw
keucd in the democracy of Lincoln and Ga
ton, should call every democratic voter
his post, Capt.-, Caldwell's election to Co:
gress, oyer Dc- berry and Dock cry both, breve
over the former aloneshould the latter.
ciinc, is now almost reduced to a certainty,
The democrats have now a fair opportunitt
to wipe opt, as far lis this distribt is conce
ed, the stain which attaches to the' whol
country from the passage of the Bankru
law ; and they will not, through supinen
or inactivity, suffer the occasion to pass url
improved. In this. patriotic work they will
be joined by all true republicans in the fede
ral ranks who will gladly sciz3 the occasion
rebuke the outrage committed on tbe , con
try, by the adoption of that infamous xa
sure; and to leave the fellowship of a partj
whose legislation, when in power, tends p
impair the obligation of contracts and to fol
ter and encourage a hordeVof amstocratj
bank speculators to control the laction of the
government. . . , t
TJeberry voted, for that . Bankrupt ' lw.
which has been so- universally execrated By
all honest republicans, while Capt. Caldwell,
in .Congress at the same .time, recorded hps
vote against it." Need a man .t of integrity
whether a whig or a democrat, be long a
ing up his mind which of these candidates
