On yciterdjy, (Thursday J the People of North Carolina exrrdaed vhe elective franchi e, the d-rei4 right of an American freeman, ft the nllr of cVterminirK who shall be their Gov ernor, and wbo sl!l make their Umn, f the j nxt two-years. In urging the claima of Johs A. Uiuiu, we have been hupeled by a heart frit ani abiding confidence in Lia integrity and patrioti -m. We have urged hia claims, because -e believed that the intereaU and prosperity of the State would be beat promoted by hia election. We are of that opinion still and we believe that a majority of the freemen of North Carolina are with us. In oor feeble way. we have labored with all our ability to bring about auch a resu't, and the Ameriran Preaaof the State baa labored with a utl and earneetneea deferring success ; yet never haa a canvass been conducted with a more reckless and unacrupuloua disregard of the rulea ofhooorable warfare, of fairneaa, decency and truth aa the one through which we hive just ptianl, -nt haa a Candidate been more groea ly alaodered, Titoperated and abused than Mr. GlLVzm haa been. Despite all the murepreseu Utiooa of hia toes, however, he haa come out of the conflict like virgin gold from the crucible, un tarniabed by the beae invectives which have been heaped upon bim - In a few da j a, we shall know the result of the cotteet, when we hope to be able to announce good news to our friends. The vote in this City stood : Gilmer S67, Bragg 263. But the defection of scene prtUn ded opponents of the Administration, Mr. Gilmer 'a majority would have been considerably larger. The following ia tne state of the polk in this County, (the rote by predacta will be given in tr next,): Brags, loco, 1693; Gilmer, Amer., 1124; Senate, Wilder, loco, 796; Commona, Rand, loco., lilt; Lewia, loco, 1669; Bledaoe, loco., bSA ; Roger, Amer.. 1263 ; Sheriff, High, loco., 1488; Jonea, Amer., 1204.

There wai a rpirited rally of the American Cub, at the Court House, on WedaeeJay even ing last. It vae moat effectively addreesed by IIesbt W. Mitxxi, wbope metto is temper pa- An abortive attempt waa made by a gang of lucufooo rowdies, outside the Court House, to break up the meeting, by raising the alarm of fire. The shameful and contemptible artifice waa eaaily seen through. The "uu terrified" are welcome to all the credit they can gain by auch disgraceful proceedings. A LETTER FROM GEN. HOUSTON. We publish, to-day, patriotic and able letter fnen Gen. Hocttpk, of Texaa, on the PreMdra tial qwestion. Gen. norrros au tains the Ame- ncan pominationa for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, with all the zeal of bis enthusiastic nature, and expeeei, with a bold hand, the un founded pretensions to the Chief Magistracy of Buchanan and Fremont. Hia letter is moat ex "celltnt one, and we trust it will be-widely circulated. SIGNS OP THE TIMES. Tb can of Kllmore and Dnneboa is advan cing everywhere, i Every mau brings ns tidings nf accfWHinii $ tk rank f the only party that keep step to tbe naMC of the Union.. In Indi ana, a large and eatHnxU"tiC Bute Convention of tb Arrricti party waa recently held, and an electoral ticket placed in the field. The Conven tion vh addre!rd for three "hours by a distin- guiabed gentleman, Mr. Armstrong, wbo presided !' over ita deliberations. He ; placed hi advocacy ci Mr. Fillmore on Lib national ground, and ! scooted the idea f eonlitiou aid aay sectional party. Tl.-e arcoont fnn that State represent Fillmore's proeperts as decidedly cheering. With n Loccfoco party dirideil between Bucbanau Fmnct the State is aluxt certain fur Fill- more. In our own State-the Fillmore electoral tirkrt ia compueed of some .if the able young men, who will carry into the cnras youthful ardor, as well aa ability to upholtl I Loir glorious cause. From Virginia, the glorlotia Spartan band of Old Line Whip have spoken out, and like tbir brethren of MaryLtnd, their voice ia I united fc Fillmore, ami the Constitution and the Union. Thene arc- bu a few of the many cheer ing signs of the time. The good work ia still prtrmaing. and. by the day of electiou, the author of the iofunotia diarj -f M Iwrjcain, in trigue, aud .crriiptna axnt the noble Uy, will receive from an hrntekt people the verdict of condemnation, and the seal of that infamy which he vainly strove to fteu oo the gallant "Harry oftbeWaat.- i FilXMoaaix LoctstANA. The Americana had a great toro-ootjio Franklin, (Atukapaa,) on the 22.1. The meeting waa large and enthuxiastia It waa ad-lreneed by Jame Ieake, Eq., Adolphua Oliver, Eoq. ami H.m. J. W. Walker. The Journal says : All's well here 1 and our brethren abroad may rest aJired that St. Mary will roll up a majority, support, tbe inteiligence or ner popuiaUon. Ohio is aix auvs, now, with "American." They had a very imposing demonstration " for Fillmore" at Cleveland, on the evening of the 2 Int. The utmost erthuaiasm waa evidenced. Ala a am a. Tbe Americana keep moving here. A State Maaa Meeting of the friends of Fillmore and Dooelaon ia to be held at Selma on the 21st inst. Our Sclma friends predict a crowd of 20, 000 person. J6 The Telegraph published at Warren, haa boiste I the Fillmore and Dooelaon Flag. The editor, after referring to the confidence he ha in the -Model Presidency," saya : "There is another eentimeut now pervading minds hitherto deficient in it, although imbued with the enthu siasm which tbe name of such a standard-bearer waa calculated to awaken, and with that rational Conviction of hia fitneaa, which hia history so concluaivelT furnishes. Tbia 'sentiment ia one of MieflXai kteanbe eUdtd." tsB" The Fillmore and Dooelaon spirit is up in Florida. The Savannah Republican haa a private letter, dated St. Augustine, 26th ult., which says: "The Americin party of thia State are in high spirit, and expect to carry their tick et through moat triumphantly in October." So may it be, then, in November. t& Hon. Caleb Lyon, of Lyonadale, "the po et, philosopher, and philanthropist," wbo, it will be recollected, waa a locofoco member of the last House of Representatives, having kept in the back ground for some time, has at length come out and defined hia position in the preeeni Presi dential contest, lis supports Fremont "Wheth er we view bim 'mid the miasma of Salt Lake marsLea or the perils of Sierra Nevada snows, battling under the Bear fiag against defeated Cas tro, or treating singly, surrounded by hostile savages, the captive of an armed cohort, or the tettant of a British prisonin each position he haa exhibited patriotism that defied persecution, and firmness that conquered misfortune." As Mr. Sam Weller, Sr., said on an interesting oc casion "That treryts on the poetical." Mb. FujJtoax'sPaosFECTSiJi Pisrstlvakla. From all parte of the interior of thia State, the intelligence is of the most cheering and gratify ing character. Our march now is onward. Con fidence hss taken tbe place of doubt, and from one end of the State to tbe other, there has been aroused a feeling that must lead to victory. Planting themselves on Protestant American Na tionality, the Americana are moving forward, in a body, animated by a common regard for the Union and American institutions, and determin ed to repel the insidious attempt that is' being msde by the Buchanan aid Fremont parties to obtain possession of the Government, by the aid of the Irish and Red Republican foreign vote. In noticing the powerful re-action thus going on, the Reading Journal truly remarks as fol lows: The Fremont papers are laboring hard to get up the impressiou that Fillmore haa no show, in Pennsylvania and others of the Northern States, compared with their candidate. This is very far from the truth.-'Fillmore is even now by odia the most popular candidate in the field, North and South, and appearances indicate that his popularity is vasuy on tne lucrease. ine enure conservative rote of the country, embracing tbe verv bone and siue w of the nation, will undoubted ly be cast in his favor nor will, so far as we can see. anr feeling of policy or expedien cy induce his friends to swerve from his sup port. True it is, that Fremont is making inroads in some parts of the State, but it is upon Mr. Bu chanan in the strong Democratic counties. Thus we have an account of a meeting of Democrats held at Warren, Pa- last week. Dr. D. N. Shatahan presided : C. H. Hunter and R. K Russel as Secretary. Addresses were made by Hou. C. B. Curtis and G. W. Schofield, Esq. j A series of reontions was passed unanimously re pudiating the platform on which Mr. Burhauan staud. Mr. Curtis represented that district in Congress two years since ; Mr. Schofield waa a member of tbe last Democratic State Convention . n.l lv'in1 tlut nnminaHtta of that DartT for Cuogre a few weeks ago. Chapln Hall, another influential Democrat, is also among the bolter. is ; The Bnchanan party is literally falling to pieces in the western part of this State. A correspon dent writing to a New York paper,- from Mead vine, Pa., says : j - M I am utterly surprised at the change in pub- 'ic opioiou which ia taking place in this State in refereuo to Mr. Buchauan. I hsve myself con versed with some of the statweheet of the old school democrat in this vicinity, who have hith erto never swerved from their party, and I find them determined to abandon the Cincinnati nomi nees, i ji i Hxxx That Coxz ! Twenty-five Democrats, In! Fsyette county, Tennessee, who voted for Governor Johnson, lat August, have declared their determination to rote for Fillmore and Dor.- elsnn. ! ! i ' I ( Thx ErrrcT in Martlasp The Baltimore Amercan says: "The letters of Senators Pearce and Pratt, instead of causing a depressing of Whig enthusiasm for Mr. Fillmore, appear to ha ve tbecootrary effect,so far as our observation ex tend a. There is now a general desire apparent among the Whigs of Maryland to show to tbe world that they are not in leading strings, but act from their own honest and Independent con vie i.l - . m tipns. Irieir determination to give the electoral vte of Maryland to the "Model President" Is uw aa eager and earnest as it wat when they rallied to do honor to Henry Clay, the appeals f Mewr. Pearce and Pratt to the contrary rot withstanding The desire, before thee letters appeared, was to carry the State for Mr. Fillmore ; tbe determination now is to give him- a majority exceeding that given to Mr., day." Three years ago. the entire Democrat ic Press and party of the South w ere liuding Mil lard Fillmore aa a lofty patriot, and aa having made a conservative, national President. At the same time they were denouncing Martiq Van Buren aa a traitor and Abolitionist. Now how ever, to subserve a party purpose, they- have turned right around and tell us that Fill more ia aa big a traitor and abolitionist aa ever was Mar tin Van Buren ! that, in fact, Van Buren haa a better record than ' Fillmore I and. to cap the climax, some of them go so far as to claim that Van Buren is the patriot now, and Fillmore the traitor 1 Was ever such mendacity heard of before? Can Old Line Whigs and conservative Democrats rtand by and quietly look on, when such infa mous injustice is perpetrated in the face of high Heaven ? A SUGGESTION TO SOUTHERN DEMO CRATS. Every now and then. M says the Richmond Whig," we hear a blatant Democrat or a soft pa ted Whig refer to tbe alleged invincibility of the Democracy in the past aa an assurance of De mocratic success in the sp preaching contest. What force there is in this sort of logic may be easily tested by reference to the past. In every other Presidential election for the last twenty years, the Democracy have been routed and driven from office. Thia proves that a' new and powerful principle is the tpoSf. The 2ns have them the OuU want them. The latter are a hundred to one of the former, and in every square and (ur contest, unaffected by aide issues, victory yrill perch upon the banner of die opposition. ifhe Democracy are attempting to evade the ef fect of this principle by discarding the present ncumbent and setting up a new man, who will lold out hopes to the outsiders that some of Perce's appointments will be removed for their wnefit. But as this expedient can have but a very limited influence, they, lug in the slavery question, aa haa been their wont for twenty years, to distract and weaken the opposition. . Without 'the aid of slavery agitation, what, at this moment, ivould be the condition of the Democracy ? Taking the strength of the Administration as a Vair test of the strength of the Democratic party, at party is in a decided minority in two-thirds t the States. The slavery question out or the way, "that opposition would be united, and its union would ensure the expulsion and subver sion of the Democracy. So much for the vaunt ed invincibility of the Democracy I How far their lugging the slavery question into the Presidential contest may go to save them from the merited fate of unfaithful servants, is a different matter. Since the unlucky character of their nominee becomes more and more apparent, all the probabilities are that they will make noth ing by their motion. i,very days develop ment tends to show that he is the weakest can didate in tbe field, and his longer continuance before the country will only weaken tbe cause, the success ot which his Southern champions pro fess above all thing to desire. In surveying the present triangular contest. the following positions seem incontestable : 1. That there is very great doubt whether either of the candidates will be elected by the people. 2. If Fillmore were withdrawn, there might be doubt whether Fremont or Buchanan would suc ceed though the probabilities are strong thai Iremont would be successful.. Thn u clearly tbe conviction of the Black Republicans them selves, who, with every disposition to decry Fill more, are forced to confess that be is the only serious obstacle in their way. 8. If Fremont were withdrawn and the opposition to the De mocracy united, as in that case it would-be, Fillmore would be elected. ; 4. If Buchanan were withdrawn, Fillmore's election would be still more certain, for he would then get the whole vote of the South and fully hilfortlie North. In whatever aspect thee several positions are viewed. Fillmore is seen aa the national and con servative man, independent of the sectional fac tions, and worthy of the confidence of the whole Union, lie is a xnortbern man a JNorthern conservative; tbe people or tne Worth cannot fear him. He has filled the Presidential chair in critical times, and has proved by his action that the South need not distrust him thit he is true to all the guarantees of the Constitution. In this view of the matter, we seriously sub mit it to Southern Democrats to withdraw Mr. Buchanan, and thereby make certain the election of a man in whom we can ail comae, l he with drawal of Mr. Fillmore could not aid Mr. Bnch anan ; on the contrary, it would render highly probable, if not certain, the election of Fremont. Whio Motmocxt in Louisiana. There was a meeting of Old Line Whigs at Baton Rouge on the 17th inst., at which resolutions were adopted in favor of Mr. Fillmore, and the Hon. J1. D, Conrad was appointed delegate to the Whig Na tional Convention at Baltimore, and J. M. Mc Cutcheon, Esq., as subetitale. TnE MEETING. ON MONDAY. I Accordiug to previous notice, the American party held a Mass Meeting iu Salisbury on Mon- aay last. j - ! t i . i . i i : v:l. i una ii a ureu "ur uieanuretu wiuias m jugu- er state of enthusiasm prevailing in many a day. It is indeed cheerinz. in these dava of political corruption, to witness such spontaneous outbursts of patriotigm aa were witnessed on that say and night. Eloquent and able speeches were deliver - ed by Messrs. Boy den and Joqesin the day, and by Messrs. Brevard. Kerr and Barringer at night. The meeting took place in the new Court House, and the large, enthusiastic and intelligent crowd present gave unmistakeable evidence, and by its oft-repeated and prolonged cheers, that the A merican feeling i.- abroad ii the land. Mf. Boy den wan nevermore eloquentin his life. Such a lashing as he administered to the opponents of the American party was cruel, although giveu in a spirit of parental toleration. His expose of Democratic trickery and corruption as revealed by Mr. Benton was handled by him in an able and a masterly manner. He showed conclusive ly, upon Democratic authority, thai- the office- seexers. pouucai eu nuens ana wire-worKing poli ticians in and around Washington, have labored ia the Cincinnati Convention to take from the people the right of nominating the President, and that it is ndw high time that the sovereign people of our glorious Union should take the af fairs of our j government, out of the hands of gaming politicians, and rally for the preservation . of our glorious uuion. He showed by Democratic authority the au thority of Sand ford Harrison, of New York, that the .Democratic; party in the North was almost completely "annihilated," and that the only hope of our Country was that all union Whigs, Demo crats and Americans should rally to the support of Millard Fillmore that the time has now fully arrived in the history of our country, when we must discard party considerations, and strike for the preservation of the Union of these States. He shoved the rottenness and hollowness of those Democrats, South, who are laboring to con vince the people that there is no chance for Mil lard Fillmore and that Fillmore's friends should go for Buchanan. He proved by undisputed au thority, that the union-loving Democrats, North, advocated the reverse, and were calling loudly upon their friends to drop Buchauan and go for Millard Fillmore. Of his able speech, time and apace would fail us to give the main points. He was followed by H. C. Jones, Esq.. after which the meeting adjourned until candle-light, when Mr. Brevard of Cabarrus was called to the stand. Although a young man, he exhibited marked ability in his argument, and his speech would have reflected honor on many an older bead He was followed by Mr. Kerr, of Georgia, and R. M. Barringer, of Concord, when the meeting 1 adjourned at a late hour amid the most intense enthusiasm. We believe with Mr. Barringer that so soon as the August elections have passed away, and our local affairs shall be adjusted, that the Country will arise in its might, and rallying under ih banner of Fillmore and Donelson, will administer such a rebuke to sectional agitators as will cause their knees to smite with fear and alarm, and bring back our country to her pristine purity by ! the triumphant election or .Millard xillmore. We feel justified iu this belief from the honest efforts now made, not only by Americans but by many good Whigs and Democrats, who believe and are laboring to make others believe that Fill more is the man and the only man for the crisis. Rowan is right side up ; and will do her whole duty, we think, on tKe 7th of August. ' . i . awf. naiaiman. CONGRESSIONAL. Washikqtou, Aug. 4. . Sknatx.

Mr. Harris, of Maryland, was next recognised by the Speaker, and, after an appeal to the calm consideration and generosity of the House, was able to secure the passage of the bill from the Senate to provide for the improvment of the navigation of the Patapsco river and to render the port of Baltimore accessible to the war steamers of the United States.

On th i4th'inst., a Mr Wilson, and daughter, of North!
