THE ELECTION.
ybn this issue of oar paper can reacb any
(jojiderable number of our readers, the Elec

thewfore, to our friends, by way of exhortation
appeal, could be of but little avail. We
lefiere, however, tnai iney wiu ao ineir juh
that they will stand by their Candidate
wd their cause. Leaving contention, bicker
jajand turmoil, to their enemies, let them
ueh forward, in compact array, and show, by
flair determined adherence to their principles,
tad those who uphold them, that the vaunting
uwrtiou of the party in power, "that the Whig
part is dead," is a libel !
Whether elected or defeated, (and so general

Till 'he consolation of knowing that he

District fur the manly and patriotio manner in

aloft. '
Then, Whigs or th Fourth, show that grat
itude, now, by rallying to the polls and casting

WHAT THEY SAY OF EACH OTHER,
"f e regret to see that the Giraffe, a profess-
t&l neutral paper, has stepped aside from its

i Giraffe had been governed by the dictates
dfatj, it would have left this question where
illegitimately belongs in the hands of the po
foal papers of the District. It has seen pro-
psto do otherwise, and to entangle itself in po-
lltial questions, boldly espousing the side of dis-

THE EUROPEAN QUESTION.
The Sill-absorbing question, everywhere, in
this vtnwm. " a I in P.... .( Ml
there be a .European war, or will the Russian
and Turkish difficulties be amicably adjusted T"
This question so deeply concerns business the
price of cotton, 'flour, corn, stock, 4o. that it
forces itself upon the immediate attention of
business men, and forms the staple topio of
conversation " on 'change." Our Northern
dailies contain copious extracts from the Euro
pean journals which present their views upon
it. From the able articles thus republished
from the London, Paris and other leading pa
pers, it seems that for once there is a singular
unanimity of sentiment among them all. Rus
sia is unanimously condemned and Turkey
justified ; and if a war should grow out of the
present difficulty, or controversy, the entire
mass of the peoplo of Europe, excepting; Rus
sia, will be strongly enlisted against her, and in
favor of the Sultan ; the one assuming the ar
rogant port and insolent demeanor of conscious
power and a despotio will, while the other
manifests, the suffering forbearance, the mild,
deprecating tone, and conciliatory disposition
of conscious weakness. This tone would pro
bably but invite aggression from the Russian
Autocrat, were it not for the attitude of deter
mined resistance, to his ulterior purposes, as
sumed by England and France, and the proba
bility that, in the event of a war with Turkey,
she would be backed by all the leading pawers
of Europe. f
Still, however, this may be disregarded, and
a fanatical crusade waged against the Ottoman
Empire. The Northern despot has had the
cunning to invoke the religious feelings and
prejudices of his subjects, and in doing so he
may have evoked a spirit which he may not
find it easy to allay. The " London Times "
throws some light upon his dark path and
policy, by giving a brief but very comprehen
sive statement of the political divisions which
prevail in Russia, and the policy advocated by
each. Deeming it important, we venture to
copy it for the benefit of our readers :
"There exist at the Court of St. Petersburg in
the Russian Empire two parties, which: are
broadly distinguished by their respective de
scent from the old Muscovite stock. A large
proportion of the statesmen who have done
honor to the policy of the empire belong to the
former class among them Prince Lieven,
Count Ncsselrode, M. de Benkendort, M, de
Meyendorf, Baron Brunow, Baron Krndener,
and many others. The reigning house of Rus
sia is itself divided by only two generations
from its German origin, and the Emperor Al
exander never concealed his predilection for
men who strengthened his connexion with the
manners and ideas of Western Europe. The
Emperor Nicholas has pursued an opposite
course. His policy has been to identify him
self with the passions, the peculiarities, the po
litical aspirations, and the religious fanaticism
of the Muscovites, and, far more than his Min
isters, he has adopted the spirit which he chose
to represent. His second and favorite bod, the
Grand Duke Constantine, has espoused the
same great national party, with even greater
fanaticism and intensity than the Emperor;
and in both of them the cause of the Church
and of the Empire finds a champion, and per
haps an instrument. It is certain that the
strong ambition of this party, inflamed by re
ligious enthusiasm and the pride of a dominant
race, has for years past been directed to the
present year as the fourth centenary of the
overthrow of the Greek Empire and to Constan
tinople as the prize of war ; and, whatever may
be the instrinsic worthlcssness of such mystical
associations and prophecies, it will not be de
nied that they contribute to-. the feeling which
may lead to tueir imminent. In toe impas
sioned judgment of these men, the circular of
Count Neasclrode, which h8 7 been condemned
in the rest of Europe for itsrllogical temerity,
is denounced as a feeble and unworthy declara
tion of Russian supremacy. War; in the shape
in which it is presented to them, is not an in
vasion, but a crusade ; and the question ox the
Holv Places, combined with a claim to Detec
tion of the Greek Church, are precisely tie sub
jects most calculated to kindle their ardor.
If, in an evn hour tor the world and tor him
self, the Emperor Nicholas has roused this spir
it, which it is beyond his power to curb ana
subdue if, as we have reason to fear, the ad
yance of the army is accompanied with fresh
appeals to the pride and daring of the nation,
this calamitous and destructive force may break
fotth and lead to the most deplorable conse
O 1 ' . 1
quences. oucn passions are jusi
Such passions are just as lawless
and hostile to the best interests of mankind as
those revolutionary commotions to which the
Emperor Nicholas eonceives his policy to be di
ametrically opposed ; and it matters but little
whether the world is threatened by the in
temperate proselytism of the French Conven
tion, or by the popular superstitions and bar
barous irruptions of the Muscovite race. The
triumph of might over right, and of force over
law, especially when it is assisted by popular
excitement, is the essence of political revolu
tion, and, paradoxical as it sounds, the Jumper
or Nicholas is rapidly becoming the chief ene
my of the established order of things in Europe.
That is our chief danger, for the revolution
which he represents is armed with enormous
military forces and directed by absolute power.
13 ut on me otner nana, as its amDicion is insa
tiable', this spirit once let loose must sooner or
later come into collision with the constituted
rights of other nations, and if Europe remains
united and true to her common interests and
duties, she has it now in her power to prescribe
to Russia those limitations which that Empire
seems at present so little disposed to respect
This, in a measure, accounts tor the unrea
sonable demands and dogged obstinacy of the
Russian Emperor, in the whole of this affair.
He hopes to make this fanatical feeling on the
part of bis subjects the means of accomplishing
a purpose formed by the haughty and imperious
Catharine, and never given up by the reigning
family, of annexing Turkey in Europe to the
Russian Empire. j
But while the chances of war or peace seem
to be so nearly balanced, that the weight of
hair may incline the scale either way, there! is
evidently a confiding hope prevailing among
the well-informed, both in this country and in.
Europe, that the question will be amicably ad
justed. The 'f Pays, Journal de PEmpire,Mjin
an article on this subject, says : " We no doubt
cannot precisely say how the difficulties which
at present hold men's minds and interests in
suspense throughout the whole of Europe, will
terminate ; but, to say the truth, we do not feel
any doubt as to the pacific solution. We'are
convinced that Russia, enlightened at present
as to the grave errors which she has committed,
is now acting merely to safeguard her honor,
which has been compromised, and to find an
honorable means of getting out of the cleft
stick into which she has so rashly ventured."
It is stated in the European items, that, " Not
withstanding the warlike appearances of mat
ters, hopes were still entertained of the ulti
mate preservation of peace, as negotiations
would probably intervene after the occupation
of the principalities." It is also Btated, that
" the language of Louis Napoleon was most
temperate, and expressed not merely the wish,
but , the expectation, of the maintainance of
peace. He rather thought the Emperor of
Russia would do no more than occupy the Da
nubian Principalities, and then negotiations
would commence." One thing is- apparent,
however, namely, that there" is no disposition
on the part of the Emperor of France to avoid
a conflict with Nicholas, and, judging from the
tone of the British press, public opinion in En
gland will not allow the Ministry to shirk the
contest, if contest there must be, between Rus
sia and Turkey. " The public sense of national
honor," says the London Daily News, " deeply
pledged for the preservation of Turkey, puts hesi
tation out of the question." And the " Times,"
the leading paper not only of England but of
Europe, says : " But should all these delays on
the part of Russia turn out to be no more than
the disguised preparations of a long conceived
and deliberately executed plan of aggression on
the part of the Emperor Nicholas, then, indeed,
we do not think so meanly of our countrymen
of the British Parliament as to doubt that they
will display the same union and determination
which has often borne us through far greater
trials." '
What the upshot is to be, time only can de
termine ; meanwhile there seems to be an un
willingness among business men to make any
perations, the result of which is dependent
upon peace or war in Europe.
President Pierce, at times on his recent
visit to New York, undertook to cajole and
wheedle the Whigs, but did it rather clumsily.
At the dinner in Philadelphia, at which Mayor
Gilpin, a Whig, presided, his health having
been given by the Mayor, after a few appropri
ate remarks, the President rose and said :
Mr. Mayor and fellow citizens : As I have
more than once had occasion to say to-day, I feel
that yon have overcome me by your kindness,
and I wish to say that which I ought not to o-
mit to you, Mr. Mayor, and all who diner with
me politically, that if in the changes and chances
of life my party shall be placed in a different
position, we may have the grace to do the same
thing that you are doing now to give the same
hearty welcome.
1 here are no circumstances in our political
relations to show why you and I should not be
the best of friends. Cheers. For instance,
t&ke our friend Gen. Cadwalador ; he is a Whig;
but when his country wanted his services, though
surrounded by ample means and wealth and all
the comforts and luxuries of life, he marched to
the field, and nobly fought his country's battles.
Is he not a patriot ? Look, too, on another
friend near me, (Gen. Patterson.) Did he not
abandon his private interests and all the endear
ments of home, and march to the field of battle?
I rejoice, then, in having two such men near me,
one on my right and the other on my left, and
you, sir, (addressing the Mayor,) to boot. Such
meetings merge party, and remind us all that we
are Americans.
Now these sentiments are certainly unexcep
tionable, nay, commendable ; but, in the mouth
of one who has made such a universal sweep of
men from office as Gen. Pierco has, merely be-
causehey were Whigs, they cannot fail to re
mind one of the sentiments of the black-hearted
Joseph Surface, in Sheridan's admirable play
of " the School for Scandal." " Such meetings
merge party, and remind us all that we'are
Americans !" And who is doing all in his
power to prevent parties being merged, but
Gen. Pierce, by beheading every Whig he can
find in office ? Who treats them, too, as if they
were barbarians instead of Americans ? "All
Americans !" And yet one portion of them
must not be allowed the privileges of their
country, but must be treated like a conquered
and enslaved race. Out upon such hypocrisy,
and such arrant hypocrites 1 We hope there is
no Whig in th Union soft enough to be gulled
by such Joseph Surface sentimentality.
The same sentiment was reiterated in New
York by Mr. Davis, Secretary of War, on the
occasion of the excursion to examine the bay
of N. Y. The Cabinet having been toasted, the
Secretary of War, in presence of Gen. Pierce,
replied :
I return you, Mr. President and gentlemen,
my heartfelt thanks. This morning has been to
me one of great gratification. When 1 hoard
that we were to assemble here, Democrats and
Whigs, I said Why not ? Is this not the Gov
ernment of every American, and are we not
faithful sons of America T Why not, then? We
are brethren of one country, united by a com
mon love.
"Brethren of one country, united by a com
mon love 1" And who is doing all in his pow
er to destroy that feeling of brotherhood, and
turn that "common love" into bitter hatred ?
If we are all "brethren of one country," why is
one portion proscribed and persecuted, as if
they were aliens and enemies, or black-hearted
traitors, and not worthy of trust ? We like to
see sentiments and actions agree, and when we
find men preaching one thing and practising
the opposite, we cannot but look upon them as
despicable hypocrites, and exclaim as Sir.Peter
Teazle did to the sentimental Joseph, aforesaid,
after he had discovered his hypocrisy, "Oh,
d 1 take your sentiments." '
We are gratified to learn that Mr. Ami
andkr W. Lawrence, of this .City a recent
graduate Of our University of high promise! has
been appointed by the Secretary of the Navy to
an important position in the National Observa
tory at the seat of Government Mr. L.. we
doubt not, "will prove himself, in erery respect,
tun ply qualified for the post.
Counterfeit coin of tho denomination of fifbr
cents have made their appearance in Richmond.
Of all the noisy, factious, and ill-bred
bodies of men, perhaps, that ever constituted a
legislature, the late New York legislature was
the paragon. If such is to be the character of
legislative assemblies hereafter, it will be a se
rious question whether it may not be better for
the people to find some other, mode of making
laws than the present The whole "noise and
i confusion," abuse of each other, quarreling and
wrangling, was caused by the bitter feud be
tween the Old Hunkers and the Freesoilers, who
hate each other as inveterately as the Sioux and
the Chippewas ; and yet, these.are the facti ons
which President Pierce sagely hopes to unite in
the bonds of perfect love, affection and harmony,
by "the cohesive, power of public plunder."
When this is accomplished, there wrll be left
but one more feat of the' kind to be performed,
namely, a similar nionbetween the powers of
heaven, and those who occupy the other place ;
and then will come the time when the lion and
the lamb, will lie down together !
The course Gen. Pierce has pursued, has alien
ated his friends, forfeited the confidence of his
supporters in his ability to conduct the affairs of
the nation, and made him rather an object of
ridicule for his opponents. The "New York
Herald," as we have heretofore stated, took a
very decided and efficient part in the presiden
tial campaign in his behalf, and has given his
administration a fair support, as long as it could
do so ; but of late it has Occasionally given vent
to the feeling of disgust and contempt which the
weakness and folly of the President have in
spired. The "N. Y. Sun" was another of his
supporters, but, like the "Herald," it has become
disgusted, and, but a day or two ago, came out
with a leading editorial, the character of which
our readers can judge by the two last paragraphs,
which are as follows :
"For these reasons, we have been watching
anxiously for some evidences of the President's
ability, not only to discipline his Cabinet, but
to unite his party, command the respect and
confidence of all citizens, and giye tone and
shape to the deliberations and measures of Con
gress. Instead, thus far, of finding any of these
evidences,-we see evidences of just a reverse
character.
His party is splitting up into factions ; feuds
bitterer than ever before existed are daily grow
ing in strength and extent ; the people are lo
singtheir ponfidence.and unless President Pierce
displays resources and capacities yet concealed,
he is iq danger of passing into retirement at the
end of his four years term, with no better fame
than did a. predecessor whose name has become
a bye-word iln. politics."
Now, if friends are forced to give utterance
to such language as this, what might not be ex
pected from those whom the President and his
Cabinet have treated with the grossest injus
tice, with less feeling nd concern than an or
dinary man would exhibit upon turning a dog
outof doors on a cold, stormy day ? His visit to
New York, it must be inferred, did little towards
conciliating the disaffected, or harmonising the
antagonistic factions of his party, and only
proved that he is not tho man to impress himself
upon the people, or give direction to pub
lic opinion. There is nothing commanding
in him, as in Clay, Webster or Jackson.
If he should "assume the god," and "affect
to nod,"" it would be but a burlesque, and
excite laughter and ridicule rather than fear or
awe. Hence he can never play "Old Hickory"
with his party, reward the faithful, silence the
clamorous, kick the obstinate, awe the timid,
and "shoot the deserters ;" any attempt of that
kind will only make mure "noise and confu
sion" than he can silence or manage, and con
vince him, in the end, what folly it is to under
take a task infinitely above one's capacity.
Senator; Allen, of Ohio, once suggested to a
Whig Senator the propriety of both parties com-
ng to a distinct understanding and agreement,
that neither should, thereafter, nominate for the
presidency any but first-rate men. "We have had,"
said he, "enough of third and fourth rate men in
that office' alluding to Polk and Tyler, "and for
my part, I desire to see none but the ablest men
hereafter ; occupying the presidential chair."
There ara.probably a good many, now, of Sena
tor Allen's mind ; especially since the latest ex
perience they have had of the doings of a fourth
or fifth rate man.

topics as well as with the political parties of the

RAILROAD MEETING EX-GOVERNOR
SWAIN, ETC,
A large portion of our citizens met in the
Court House on last Saturday evening to hear
an address from the Hon. David L. Swain, on
the subject of Internal Improvements. -Gov.
Swain made his appearance amid the greetings
of the assembly. He commenced by saying that
it had been 22 years since he was a resident ci
tizen of Ashvilfe that it had been nine years
since he had last visited this village. He spoke
of the wonderful change that had been wrought
in a few briief years. "I walked," said he,
"through the. village of Asheville, from the
Southern to tho Northern extremity, not only
without a friendly greeting, but without even
the nod of reeognation from a single individal."
He said that A simile stood without a parallel
in the race of improvement in the SiAte that
he had thought his own little village. Chapel
Hill, had made rapid strides, but he was free
to confess that Asheville had outstripped her,
The Gov. spoke in feeling terms of his conscious
ness that his locks had been touched by the
frosts of time ; he knew that he was growing
old from his years if not from his feelings. He
said that had he remained here and continued to
practice at his profession, that he would be the
patriarch of the Buncombe Bar ; indeedthat
those who were once his1 pupils are now the
leaders of the; Bar and hence he was aware
that he was entitled to the appellation of "old
Fogy."
The Governor dwelt in glowing terms upon
what interna! improvements had done, and
wore destined to do, for the State. He believed
that the Central Road would be extended from
East to West that it would be dene by North
Carolina capital and North. Carolina men. For
one, he said, he was opposed to the importation
of labor into the State to do our work for us
that we had tine bone, the muscle, and the sin-!
ew in our own borders, and if we could not con
struct our Roads with such means as nature had
so bountifully bestowed upon us, he did not
wish them built at all. We will not attemDt.

A wet July for a heavy corn crop." is
an old adage in this latitude, and we suppose
the farmers generally will admit its truthful
ness. These old proverbs are pleasant things,
especially when they jump with the inclination
and the hope. How delightful just now is this
one! "A wet July for a heavy corn crop."
It is delicious all the more so for our having
passed through a sort o fiery furnace. The
earth was partially famished, and all things
thereon, belonging to both the animal and vege
table kingdoms, were afflicted and suffering
from the intense heat and the want Sf some of
those gentle raiins from Heaven which have been
regarded the fistest type of Mercy. Vecetation

to refresh him for his daily labors. Tho little :
children cried in their distress, and their faces
grew thin, and their litUe limbs feeble under
tho debilitating influences of the season. A
merciful Providence sends down the rain to
moisten the thirty earth, to cool the heated air,
and give new life to every thing. Map and
beast rejoice. Vegetation shoots up, and the
green grass covers the fields anew. The little
children laugh iu their joy, the birds sing more
cheerfully, and the farmer utters the grateful
proverb a wet July tor a heavy corn crop!
Man is a great grumbler. We have heard
enough from him the present year. We have
had, it is true, a long and oppressive drought ;
but it came after what is believed to have been
the heaviest wheat crop the country has reaped
lor some years. ; it bore heavilvon the oatcroD.
and that is certainly a failure pretty much over
the entire Union. It auected seriously the to
bacco crop. The unusually cold spring greatly
interrupted the '.dants, and that and other causes
so diminished laeir numbers, that the planters
were unable to plaut as much as they were pre
pared to cultivale. Nevertheless, we are leu to
hope that the rain came in time to do much
good even to tobacco ; and as some planters are
now setting ous young plants, if we do have
early frosts, they may have time to mature and
make good tobacco. Again, if the drought has
injured the tobacco crop very seriously, it will
affect the price of that staple, so that the farm
er will probably get as much money for his di
minished crop as he would have gotten for a
larger one ; and as the drought has reached tho
entire tobacco rsgion of this and other States
alike, the effect cannot be complained of as
partial.
This is, by no means, a desperate condition
of affairs, and man, instead of grumbling, may
well thank Providence it is no werse. There is
superabundance in the land, and we have yet !
the Dountitul prophecies ot the grateful old pro
verb, "a wet July for a heavy corn crop."

APPOINTMENT OF A MINISTER TO-
FRANCE. V-.-..
Washington, July 24. '
The Minister to France is undoubtedly 'ap
pointed, but will not, it is expected, be annou n
ced until after the elections tn Kentucky t North
Carolina and Tennessee. Mr. Dix will certain
ly be the man, unless the Administration is a
gainrightened off by Southern demonstrations.
Mr. Dix's resignation as Sub-Treasurer, I un
derstand, has been before the President for
three weeks, but has not yet been accepted.
It is believed that it has been the President's
determination to j recognise Mr. Dix's distin
guished ability, by conferring a mission upon
him, but he has withheld it hitherto out of re
gard to the wishes of prominent Southern men..

THE WESTERN MILITARY INSTITUTE.
Our readers are referred to the card of this
Institute in another column. - This Oollegchas
acquired a high-reputation, and its faenlty are
endeavoring to show, by the thorough ourae-of
inatruetioQ whichi they give, and the excellent
discipline they maintain, that it is richly de
served, i
It is claimed that the military discipline in
troduced into this College secures habits of
punctuality, industry and order, and a regular
distribution of the student's time, that it pro
motes health, physical development, and conse
quent increase of mental vigor, and through
it more than ordinary results can be obtained
by the student Let the friends of education
examine the validity of these claims, and if the
Institute is found j worthy, yield it a support
adequate to the blessings it is capable of con
ferring on our country. As an evidence of its
increasing favor in the public estimation, its
number of students is augmented every session.
The number present during last session was
227. Investigator, Cin

DEATH OF ANTHONY SEPARK.
Golosboro', July 24, D353
Mr. Editor: Anthony Separk. co-Editor
of
the N. C, Telegraph, is no more. He died, in
Kinston, on Thursday last, at about noon. This
sad misfortune must be deeply felt by every
friend of his. And I must say, that I think his
friends were more nearly co-extensive with his
acquaintance, than 'almost any other man I ever
knew. Those who knew him best, knew more
of his noble qualities and virtues. W.
I A Mail Robberf Detected. On Friday last,
; a young man nam jd Wm. Tinnin was arrested
in this place and committed to jail, on a charge
i of robbing the mail. The circumstance which
! led to his arrest was, that he offered to pass a
j check on the Greensborough Branch of the Bank
j of Cape Fear on the;Branch hre, for $203 10,
j without the endorsement of the payees here, and
j when he could not succeed in that, he present-
ed it to those payees for their endorsement. It
1 was at once identified as a check which had been
t remitted from Graham in Alamance county,
on the 30th of May last, and not before heard
of. It appeared, on the examination of Tinnin,
: that he is Clerk to John Bain, Postmaster at
Green Springs, 4 miles West of Hillsborough,
and thnt h sSmetim. open, the mail and o

DIED.
On the 6th inst., Margaret J. Whitley, wife
of Josiah Whitley, in the 31st year of her age.
The deceased was a kind and dutiful wife and
affectionate mother, was a member of the Me
thodist Episcopal Church for the last twelve
years of herjlife, and from her general deportment
in life we have reason to believe that she has
realized a blessed immortality. The deceased
has left a husband and two children to lament
her death. Com.
