Mitchell, Esq's., attiiidfri at Hall's X Roads, one of the ' nnwt iiu- IMrta.nt points, to arouse the people to rally to the polls, andlo! there were but thiee persons to hear the speeches. Capt. Harris was not even in utten- dance. Capt. Charles H. Thomas was also on hand to champion the cause of Grant and Wilson. These enterprising and zealous young politicians are all in high favor with their respective parties and of course expected to see the Roads crowded to hear them after riding ten miles, but not a bugle was sounded, and the gallant leaders sounded a precipta ble retreat without a passage of arms. The results of the late elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio have thorough ly demoralized the Democratic party and few are now to be found to raise a shout for poor old defeated Greeley. Capt. Thomas says he will attend every appointment and if the people come out, will tell them how cheering are the prospects of Grant. The Liberals are in deep gloom, but the Republicans are in glee. Look out for a good report Franklin, Oct. 22, 1872. mended him to tnenamnifaUoh and to the choice of the Albemarle section, for the United States Senate. These solid and substantial Qualifications.! so ad mirably suited to give weight and in fluence to a member of a ferave delib-1 erative body, like the United States 1 Senate, are the qualities which distin guish Judge Merrimon.. We have en deavored carefully, to ascertain the l public sentiment of this section upon the Senatorial question, and think we express tne public preference, in ex pressing our own for Merrimon. Greensboro State, Republican. We learn that a new Senatorial can didate has entered the field, in the per son of Colonel Robert Strange, of Wil mington. Col. Strange Is a fine lawyer and a most polished gentleman. He has as good claims to a seat in the Sen ate as Vance or Merrimon; but if we must have a Democrat. Gen. Scales, qf Rockingham, fills the bill better than any of them. Of all the Democrats named, he could and would do our own section of the State the most good, be sides filling the office with dignity and ability. He was a fierce fighter, during the war, and a bitter secessionist ; but good soldiers are generally good men in every respect. It is a bitter pill for Republicans to swallow ; for, having a popular majority in .North Carolina, enev after receiving two papers, with a erosa mark, their papers will be discontinued. , Subscribers wishing their paper changed, will please stat the office from as well as the one to which they wish the change made.

With Ransom and Merrimon in the Senate, North Carolina can boast of a representation in that body equaled by few States. Hillsboro Recorder, Conservative. U. S. Senator. This pen first brought out Gen. A. M. Scales of Rock ingham for Governor last Summer, but he was banned and could not receive the nomination. We now assert his claims as ten fold superior to .those of Merrimon and such for the United States Senate. We happened to know Gen. Scales' war record and his charac ter as a gentleman, a statesman and a christian. Vance may have command ed a regiment a few months,! but the rest of the time he had a Jolly good place as Governor ; and as Judge Mer rimon couldn't leave his law, practice to go to the war, he certainly can't neg lect it for the U. S. Senate. We have no doubt that the chivalrous Vance and Merrimon are courteous enough to give up to Gen. Scales, the christian soldier.
