By the time this paper reaches a' portion of our subscribers, the day will have arrived on which the existence of this government will be aabjeeted to the -most severe test it has ever encountered since its foundation by our fathers.' It cannot be disguised that the most appalling danger threatens our institu tions, and it is the part of manliness and prudence to-look it full in the face and see if it may not be averted. At the North we see a thoroughly sectional candidate for the Presidency, whose success will be regarded as the triumph of a ' higher law oyer the constitutional rights of a portion of the Con federacy. At the South we see an equally sectional candidate for the Presidency, whose friends, knowing that his election is an utter impossibility, are prepared . to dissolve the Union if be is beaten by his Northern . com petitor. Were the contest confined to the above mentioned competitors for the Presi- dency, then would the case "of our country be desperate indeed. Uat, Uunx uod, this is a - cot the ease. Thank God, there is in tbe field a Constitutional, a National, a Union Ticket, the success of which would be hail ed with unspeakable joy by 'every man who loves his country and the Union which, has Bade it prosperous, happy and great. There is not a man is this wide land, unless he be a Black Republican, or a Southern Fire Eatiog Disunionist, who would not rejoice at the success of the Presidential ticket of Bell and Everett Could the future be pryed into so as to ascertain, beyond a doubt, that this ticket would be successful, wist a shout of joy and thanksgiving and praise would ascend to Heaven from millions of patriotic hearts. But, countrymen, though it may not be for na to see the future, we mi j, under the Providence of God, so work as to shape its results. We may elect John Bell to the Presidency, or failing to do that, we may give to him such a large conserva tive vote as will prevent any attaok upon the CoutJItiition and the Union, either by Black Republicans or Southern Disnnionists.; We make no clap-trap appeals to' our eountry- . men. We address them in' the language of soberness and truth, language fitting the mo mentous issue to be tried, when we assure them tbat they may save the Union of these States, avert all the incalculable horrors consequent upon its destruction, by their giv ing their votes on Tuesday, the 6th of No vember, to John Bell for the Presidency and Edward Everett for the Vice Presidency. No human being believes that Judge Douglas can be elected ANo human being believes that Mr. Breckinridge can be elected. Bell and Everett art the second choice of every boug hs man mnd every Breckinridge nan in the country, and the choice is now betveen Bell '.n neii iin.L. )untry, and Everett and Lincoln and Ham Knowing this, what friend of his conn aat friend of the cause of human liberty and rational government, ean hesitate as to hat ticket be will vote . Then, friends, in the-name of everything which you hold dear nd sacred, we conjure yon t go forward and , emJ your neighbors with you, and give your totes to Bell and Everett. We teU y'ou, on honor of a man, that if, the ticket of Bell tad Everett succeeds in the8tatesof trth Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, tho Constitution and the Union iH be safe. From Virginia, Maryland, Lt Tennessee and Kentncky we have inoraa- iiM tmt n kith ice rtlv with the most tin- pict confidence, that the Bell and Everett ftdfce iwtf caerf t each, and by heavy malmrititM. Now. we asV too. friends and 'J . ..' ... - . ' .. . countrymen, sAatf no the Uld JYortX state ' form a part of this great national break voter against which the surges of Northern Jlbolitionitwi and -Southern Disunionism will beat in vain t We say yes, yes, a thous and times, yes. TUB QUIBBLING OF THE EDITOR OP TlIE RALEIGU STANDARD WILL NOT ANSWER. We have carefully read the article in the Baleigh Standard of the 24th inst., in reply to one of oars in the issue of the Register of tbe While, we-are willing to believe, because the Editor of the Standard says so, that we, like many others, were mistaken in supposing that he had made a most indeli cate and improper allusion to us, we yet do inteod '0 permit the tone and temper of standard's reply to pass unnoticed. The Standard's artiale maces gross mis- rtphaenUiion u to tixa source whence we I i j .? r .1. . ' I aenveu our liuormatiua vi me ouapeuBiuu oi discounts by the Banks, and as to the yalidi J2fdtZ rumor" or " street talk fact of the suspension of known and talked of on the We said the discounts was streets of Ra it was known leigh before we heard of it. and talked of on Saturday, and we never heard of it until the Monday following; and when we did hear of it, the information was imparted to ns in our own office by a gentleman of veracity and information. Nor was this information given as sent to us by any one connected with the Banks. On this information, we felt ' authorized " to say what we did say. We sufficiently ex posed the other day the miserable quibblesnf the Editor of the Standard, that t)e Banks have not suspended discounts, because they renew accommodation paper according to contract with the borrower. There is not a shop boy in the smallest retail shop in Ra leigh who has not sense enough to laugh this quibble to soorn. Bat our concern in this matter, acoording to the Standard, arises from a wish ,on our : part to make party capital out of the "panic.' So accustomed is the Editor of the Standard to look at every thing in the light of his own interest, or those of his party, that he sop- poses his neighbors are governed by like motives. Iut this shall not deter us from doing our duty. , We see certain events pro duced by certain causes, and we shall expose those causes without asking permission of the Editor of the aStandard to do so. We see a money pressure all through the South. We see apprehension, and a want oft confi dence prevalent everywhere, and when we look for tbe cause, we find it in the threats made by the Editor of the Standard's pres ent t t0 th,' Union if Lincoln is eleoted. This is our offence, and if it is an offence, we have been led into it partly by the Editor of tbe Standard himself, for but a very short time ago, he charged a dis union scheme on Yancey, the acknowledged head and front, heart and soul of the Breck inridge faction, and threatened to hold him and his followers np to the indignation of tbe I rPOl and to warn tbe Tonle of tho Utraf r i r r-- o of disunion" yawning before them. In conclusion, we tell tbe Editor of tbe Standard, that we are ready to recur to this subject again whenever he desires it. (U",The following from tLe Richmond Index-applies, mutatis mutandis, as wall to North Carolina as Virginia. As far as the Union is concerned, the interests of North Carolina and Virginia are identical. It is their great interest to hold tenaciously to the Constitution and the Union, and to set their faces steadily and sternly against any and every effort to drag them into the maelstrom of disunion and civil war : We called attention in our last issue to the fore going appeal of the Enquirer. We again call attention to it, and ask the voters of the State ia ponder it well, as the position of the Breckinridge prty of Virginia in the contingency of Lincoln's election." Freemen of tbe Old Dominion! are you willing to join in tbe pledge to hitch your proud bid State on to the car of the Cotton States, and thus involve her with them in the vortex of dis union and civil war? Answer this question at the polls. Iftheyoteof the State is cast for Breckinridge, it will be taken by the cotton States as her decision in favor of disunion : I , From the Richmond Enquirer, Oct. 15. - "Virginia can no more prevent the dissolution Of th's Union aflei Lincoln's election, than she can prevent that election. Shewill be powerless to prevent civil war, with all its attendant hor rors. Any one of the Southern States can, and some ot them t will, involve the whole country, North as well as South, in the internecine strife of a bloody' and desolating civil war. VIR GINIA WILL BY A MAJORITY OFrHER PEOPLE DECIDE - UPON RESISTANCE, while a large minority may desire to postpone resistance for the "overt act;" but hitched as she is to the Southern States, she will be dragged into a common destiny'with them, no matter what may be thedesireof the people, WE BELIEVE THAT A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA, IF THE OPPOR TUNITY OF A STATE CONVENTION WAS ALLOWED THEM, "WOULD VOTE FOR IMMEDIATE RESISTANCE and for a com moo destiny with tbe Southern - Stat, and with this belief, "WE WOULD ADVISE THE 8LAVB STATES NOT TO HESITATE TO STRIKE AN EARLY BLOW FROM FEAB THAT VIRGINIA MAY HESITATE IH HER DUTY TO THE SOUTH."

Dondaa I... - A. , win receiyo eaas mteen mousana tows in the State ; and in the third, recent election8 i f, i TTmi hare proved that the Constitutional Union sentiment is growing every day in Virginia, We take the following paragraphs from the Richmond Whig: Thi Wobk Qors Bkavilt Oir l--Under this caption, the Enquirer of Saturday crows lustily over the fact that a Breckinridge ' candidate has been electea to me .Legislature ; rrom tne county of Fluvanna by 64 majority, Mow, not since the adoption of the present Constitution, has Fluvan na given an anu-jjemocraue majority, except in the Gubernatorial election of last year. : It gave Buchanan a majority or 41.- ltow gives a Breckinridge candidate for the Legislature a mi jority of 64 ; and all on account, no doubt, of per- tonal and local considerations. Well, let us see how the result of the late elec tions stands, as far as heard from, compared with the result in the Presidential election of 1856. In the counties of Chesterfield, Powhatan and Cum berland, the Breckinridge loss is T19: lnthecoun of Ameli and Nottoway, the Breckinridge loss is 217; and in tne county or .Fluvanna, tne Breck inridge gain i 23. The matter then stands thus ""'! Breck. Loss1 Chesterfield District," ; 719 Amelia and Nottoway,' . . j 227 946 23 923 Fluvanna; Breck. gain, Total, Breck. loss, Thus, it will be seen, that in six Eastern coun ties all'of them Democratic counties in 1856 Breckinridge's loss, compared with Buchanan, ia 9231 But when we consider what is a well known fact, and an admitted fact, that Nash received at least 500 votes that will be given to Bell and, perhaps, a larger number it u clear tbat tne actual iireck inndse loss, in the six counties referred i to, falls but little short of of 1,500 or 250 to the county And an average loss of 250 to Breckinridge, In each county, would amount to an aggregate loss of over 40,000 in the btate wbico would give the State to Bell by over ten thousand. But bis avcraee loss in each county and in the whole State will be even greater than we have stated. It therefore follows, lookine to the result of the re cent elections and t'.existingfactsand indications, that Bell will carrv Virginia, if tbe wnole Bell vote is brought to the polls, by from 15 to 20,000! And that will do. Let the friends of Bell all work, work, work for the next two weeks, with all-their zeal ' and energy, and there is not a shadow of a doubt that a gllrious victory will reward their- labors and eladden their hearts I On-o with the Work 1 Strxxoth or Douglas n? Eastern Virginia. Weunderstand that Thomas H. Campbell, Esq., the defeated Breckinridge candidate for the Bouso of delegates in Nottoway and Amelia, and broth er-in-law of the Honi Roger A. Pryr,and bosom friend of Lewis E. Harvie, a seceder at Baltimore, stales that in tbe two counties of Nottoway and Amelia, there were polled at the late election 142 Douglas votes. And yet .Douglas voters are scarcer in tbat reigion of tbe State it being the special bailiwick of Pryor and liar vie than in I .thn I hM. , mrn fwktmflna tan1 nnl. ..via delegate to the Legislature, and still, according to Mr. Campbell's admission, there are at Iea.t 142 Douglas votes there, where Douglas voters are proverbially scarce, compared with other portions of tbe btate. But, taking the state of things in Nottoway and Amelia as the basisis of c alculation in regard to Douglas strength in the State, it appears that if , as u the case in Amelia and ottoway tbere are 142 Douglas voters for each member of the House of Delegates, the whole number of Douglas voters in the State is 11,300. But, be it remembered, thU calculation is based upon figures representing ouglas' strength in Eastern Virginia only. Itis well known that in Western Vi'einia the treneth of Douzlas is at least double what it ia in the Eastern portion and we believe considerably greater than that. In fact, according to tbe lights now before us, we are not far wrong in alleging tnat Douglas vote in Eastern Virginia will reach 10 or 15,000, while it will go as high as 20 or 30,000 in Western Vir ginia. We saw on yesterday an intelligent, well informed and influential friend of Judge Douglas from Western Virginia, who asserted it, as his deliberate judgment, and that the vote of Doug- las in the State on the 6th of November would be "-vuu " lotu,k- At any rate. Douglas is very strong In the old Dominion, and if his friends will work for the next two weeks with becomme zeal and enerjry, the "Little Gian t" will lead poor Breckinridge by a decided majority. On I ye Douglas . braves, and put to rout the Yancey-Breckinridge faction, who bare so ruthlessly pursued and persecuted yo gallant and courageous standard-bearer I Since the above was in type, we take tbe i Allowing from the Whig of Tuesday last. Verily, tbe signs in the Uld Dominion are most auspicious : Banro Our th Bio Got Aoaih Nisa Chxi&s tor tbx Northern Nick. The Bell men have achieved a elorioua victory in the Northern Neck of Virginia that is, in the coun ties of Westmoreland, Richmond, Lancaster and Northumberland, these counties composing a Sen atorial District. This ' Senatorial District was represented last year by the Hon. R. T. L. Beale, a warm Democrat and a supporter of Breckin ridge. - i In the special election, held in that Districtj on Wednesday last, the candidates were John Cri tch er, Jr., (Bell) and R. A, Claybrook, (Breck.) ' A letter received yesterdsy evening, informs us that Critcher is elected over Claybrook by 321 major ity. This is surely a great triumph in a district lately represented by a Democrat. ' I ffJ" We take the following from the Raleigh National Democrat. ;Has Mr. Bosbee just found out Mr. Clingman'a charaoter asa pnblio man !

Clingman deliv ered a speech at AshvHle on the 10th. The Spec tator of that place, speaking of it, says: ' His speech on this occasion, as usual, was calcu lated, and intended doubtless, to inflame the pub lic mind and prepare it for the cotntemplated pro ject of dissolving the Union. It was an effort such as all intelligent, patriotic citizens every where, would unqualifiedly condemn, emanating from one honored with the position -. of United States Senator. In substance be declared that the election of a Black Bepulican, oy a majority vote, would furnish a just cause for dissolution, and that North Carolina owes no allegiance to 3 the Federal Governtment. He further declared that a Southern man accepting office - ui der '.Lincoln' would reader himself uinfamotu,'' bat he said, ao doubt, there were Opposition men who woold ac cept office under the devil. From this declart- tion alone, it it very evident that the gentleman is in favor of clogging the wheels of Government ia the event of Lincoln's, constitutional election. He woold thus deorive the South of her rights under the Constitution, and rob the people of the innumerable benefits they nave peacefully enjoy ed for manv Tears. - Such' sentiments as these abounded throughout his speech, and certainly f found no response in the hearts of sober," reflect- jnff mOTK f . , ... .a CoL Hyman succeeded in slipping in a Jew woi as eagewise occasionally, mucn w wjwuisooni- flture 6t ilr. Clingman. He elicited ranch, we thought, from the speaker that would - otherwise have been withheld. In response to an lnterroga tory of the Col's, he declared that if the election of either Douglas or Breckinridge depended upon his vote, he would cast it for the last named gen tleman, and acknowledged that Douglas was his preference until he discovered the majority - in' North Carolina' were against him." f - Mr. Clingman is not opposed to Judge Douglas on principle, but because he thinks that a majority of the Democrats in the legislature are for Brock inridge, and as there is a TJ. S. Senator to elect, he would vote for Breckinridge.' We I admirer hop est independence, but such unworthy shiftine will not be appreciated by the honest Democracy - of North Carolina, and, will be rebuked no doubt by tne members of the General Assemby. EDITORIAL GOSSIP ABOUT THE LATE . STATE FAIR. That Exhibition, after being favored with three days of most delightful weather, was suddenly and rather unexpectedly brought to a close on Thursday evening of last week, the heavy and incessant rains on Friday rendering it absolutely out of the question to continue the "show." As for ourself, who had the pleasure of "seeing the elephant." in all his phases, for three whole days, the coming of the rain was but a small pri vation, though it must have been a sort of "dam per" upon many who had defer led their visit to the "last day," as well as these who were compel! ed to return to their distant 'homes in "bad wea ther." Besides, the sudden j withdrawal from our. midst of so many agreeable, sunshioy faces was regarded by all "our bachelor friends" somewhat in the light of a "calamity constituting, in their judgment, ote of the saddest results of the heavy rains of Friday; and, in this respect,, at least, we may "lay our damages" at a "high figure," having promised ourself on that day a last "lingering look" at the "Fair."; But disappointments will come, they say, sooner or later, and so will our printer's d 1 for copy. So we will proceed to give our distant readers a sketch of what we saw at the Fair, beginning where left off in a previous issue of our paper, Among the many attractive articles displayed in one of the "departments," we noticed some bottles of beautiful . "Sparkling Scuppernbng Wine;" also. "Still Wine" and "Brandy," made from the same delicious, grape. The exhibitors were Messrs. Burbank & Gallagher, of. Washing ton, N. C. They certainly looked "inviting," but as for their peculiar 'bouquet," (as the "French" call it) "this deponent does not say," as tbe bot tles were all "nicely sealed,", and we happened not to have with us our pocket corkscrew.' . Perhaps Messrs. B. & G. can erdigkUn us on. the subject. We also noticed a splendid lot of Wines and Cor dials, exhibited by Mrs. E. A Thompson, of Golds- boro'; and in this department we had the pleas ure of meeting again with our friend A. C. Hege of Lexington. Mr. H. has ever been a valuable contributor to our State Fairs, in the "Grave line" particularly, and glad are we to see that our peo ple are turning their attention to theculture of the "Grape," and if they trill drink wine, "in the name of com u ton sense," let them have the "pure juice of the grape," instead of the miserable, mean "concoc tions" of logwood and "bad whisky' which con tinualiy find their way to our markets from for eign countries. Mr. Hege may be regarded as a "pioneer' ia the cultivation of the "grape" in North Carolina, and we heartily wish him all the success that practical skill and untiring industry will be sure to obtain for- him in the end. We noticed, too, in "Mechanic's Hall," a superior lot of Cabinet Ware made of our " native woods,"; exhibited by W. .F. Shutz, of Salem ; and if it mav not be considered "impertinent in us, we would like to ask, why it is tbat our people will continue to send oft to northern markets for Fur niture when they can get it quite as good and as cheap manufactured in our own Slate ? We may talk forever about our ;State Rights," and the "rights of the South," but unless we do something towards building up the manufacturing interests of our own Slate, we must content ourselves to play 'second fiddler'.' to our "northern allies," who doubtless "laugh in their sleeves" at our simplicity ; and, while they take our money with one hand, stab our interests "under the fifth rib" with the other. ' i y And who ean for one moment doubt, after see ing the magnificent display of boots and shoes manufactured in this Stale, and exhibited oy Mes srs. Smith & Miller, J. a Washington, and oth ers, that North Carolina, with proper encourage ment on the part of; her citizens, must become, and that at no very distant day, not only capable of supplying her own wants in this particular branch of industry, but the wants even of other Southern States? : ' . .f V And, really, we cannot help . winking I that if many of our "leading politicians," whose minds at this time are so very much concerned, about the "rights of the States," would just pause one mo ment in their mad career, it occurs to us that they might discern a wider and nobler field in which they might display their "patriotism." If they really "love the people" and the soil that gave them birth, let them prove it rather by deeds than by "empty professions," and let them, we " "o eir laienu u ciiergH w u development of the nch and varied resources of our own State. ; 6at our people must hot wait for onr poUticiars to mov in these matters. They must -first "lay their owrttfsouldere to the wheel," and when these enterprises become popular, then , never fear 1 the ; 'politicians" will certainly be the loudest in their praise of such a policy,., and most zealous in its support ! - Our word for it, when our people once resolve earnestly to free themselves from their de pendence on the North, by using Southern pro ducts exclusively, the 'politicians" will be the first to rig themselves out in uhomespans' from head to foot. . Their floors will . then be swept with Southern brooms ; they x will: be t willing to ride in oarriagea of Southern make-sit on South ern chairs, and loll on Southern sofas.;r True, they have always enjoyed these .Inestimable ''rights and privileges," bat, somehow or other, they have never been able to get themselves 'up to the slick Ingpointl" ootfbey, for the reason that they always have the "greatest horror" of being "ahead of the times I" ' ome things they say are "premature," others won't pay " yet they prof&s a great de sire to be governed by the wishes of the people 1 Well, we hope that the people, at least,' are find ing out where the "politicians" are leading them to, and we do trust they will see the necessity of taking their own interests into their own hands If ou leading politicians and (so called) states men will not lead us into the paths of peace' and prosperity, then let us treat them as the old maxim admonishes us, to serve "old Father Time.'f (seize him by the: forelock) and when we have gotten a I good hold upon them, let thera be tossed so far behind our backs that they will never be able to ascertain .their precise whereabouts until all our affairs have been properly set to' rights." If our people will just make up their minds to do this, all yet may be well. , But if they take heed to all that their politicians tell them about State Riehta and Southern chivalry, it is to be feared that the Union itself will be dissolved in order to increase the number of offices, so that each 'champion of their rights may be able to get hia full sheer, if for no other reasor. - When we commenced pen ning this notice of the Fair we did net expectf to discuss politics, but we have no apology to make, as we think our reflections were naturally and le gitimately deduced from the subject maiter in hand; perhaps much more tso than some of the remarks which were made' from the stand, on Thursday, at the ' Fair, by j some of the Hon. speakers. Comparisons may be odious, neverthe- ; we will merely add that ours is professedly a political journal, while the State Fair, we. believe, - has never been considered strictly speaking a po litical gathering. J ; r , There were some very fine horses exhibited at our State Fair last week, perhaps a greater hum ber than upon any previous occasion. ; The follow ing are those that appeared to attract particular attention: Black Hawk Chief, 5 years old, owned by Garrett & Rogeeter, said to be a fine trotter, and certainly a beautiful animal. A thoroueb bred Stallion, La Vega; also a fine brood Mare. exhibited by J.j F. Slade, of Rockingham. A pair of beautiful bay Fillies, exhibited by Thos, Bridges, of Wake. - A splendid bay Colt, 2 years old, belonging to Dr. P. Babcock, of this city. 4- Also, a very fine pair f clay bank Colts, years old, exLibi.ed by Hi Harwood. A thoroughbred Stallion, Orphan Boy, owned by Citizen & Feribee A very well .formed Stallion, exhibited 1 by J" Hicks, of Alamance. A beautiful, sprightly bay Colt, exhibited by Matthew Stephenson, of yYake An unusually fine Morgan Stallion, -Rob Roy, 6 years old, ' from Petersburg, besides many; others well worthy of notice, but when we passed round tne stalls tneir attendants were absent. The exhibition of Cattle was not so large, thouerh there were excellent soechnens entered bv Dr. Wm. R. Holt, of pavidson,t Wm, Russel, of UocKingbam, JJr. Tdaxton, of Person, and Mai Crenshaw, of Wake. .).. : f ' i Of Agricultural Implements, of all kinds. there-was a very respectable show, and all things considered, the late State Fair may be set down as quite an encouraging effort. . t ' i i i - - P UNION MEETING IN PITT.

Well, we learn tbat; a meeting tootc place, lor we did not attend. Sam'i J. Lowrie was called to the Chair. A motion was made by Col J. Y. Bryoe, that a company of minute men be organ ized. This motion was so coldly received that not a single person in the Court House seconded it, thus leaving the Colonel in an awkward dilem ma. The Chairman also condemned the attempt to organize such a company, as unnecessary.' DIED : At the residence of her husband, in Wake Co., on the 35th sit., in the 54th year of her age.
