SHI . ft :. 4. -Mil .: . e Listen to the Counsels of Washington. Jefferson and Jackson. The unity of government which con stitutes you one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly to ; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your reaj independence, the support of your tranquility fat-home, your peace abroad , of your safety, of your prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly prijte. But as it is easy to foresee that from differcst .causae, and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most .constantly and actively (though often covertly and in siduoualy) directed it fa of infinite moment that you should properly es timate the immense value of tour na tional union to y Our collective and in dividual happiness ; that you should cherish acordial, habitual, and immov able attachment to it, accustoming yourselves to think and to speak of it as a palladium of your political safety and prosperity ; watching for its pre servation with jealous anxiety ; dis countenancing whatever may: suggest even a suspicion that it can in any e vent be abandoned ; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of ev ery attempt .to alicuate any portion of our country from the rest, or to en feeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts. WASHINGTON The lessons contained in this inval uable legacy of Washington to his countrymen, should be cherished in the heart of every citizen to the latest gen eration; and, perhaps, at no period of time could they be more usefully re membered than at the. present moment. For when we look upon the scenes that are passing around us, and dwell upon the pages of his -parting address, his paternal counsels would seem to be, not merely the off-spring of wisdom and foresight, but the voico of prophe cy foretelling vents and warning us of the evil to come. JACKSON. If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Untion, or to change its republican form, let them stand undisguised, as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated, where reasen is left free to combat it. JEFFERSON. If the "UN I ON is onqe . severed, the line of separation will grow wider and WipER, and .the controversies which arenow debated and settled in the halls oflegislation, will then he time in FIELDS OF BATTLE, and determined by the sword. JACKSON. We must have patience and long en durance then, with our brethren while under delusion. Give them .time for - reflection and experience. oftoiisequen ces; keep qurseves in a .situation to profit by the .chapter of acqiden.ts-r-and separate from qua' companions on ly when the sole alternatives left, are the dissolutiqn of our union with them, or submission to a government without limitation of powers. Jefferson. Leave your friends a,nd ptand by your Coljjtrx ! .Jackson.. The Union : It must be preserved ! Jackson. JBplarge (lie lou;uit. The seceders of the Sou 6h are bent upon reviving the horrible African slave trade. That is one of the chief rea sons for wishing to dissolve the Union. They say, they need more slave labor to cultivate the soil. That's the argu ment employed South. In this State they adopt a slightly different course. Mr. Rodman, in his argument here the other day, contended that slavery is too much pent up the area is too confined -that it must have an outlet, and pointed us to Mexico and Central America, that land of nrix'ed bloods of semi-barbarians, where cotton and sugar and tropical fruits grow, as the natural outlet for slavery. But Mex ico is free. Its whole mongrel popu lation is opposed to slavery. Of course, then, he means that Mexico must be conquered, and then Cuba and Central America, which, with the South, must form a giat Southern Confederacy. That is the idea of the secessionists. "They .win embroil our own country in civil war first, for who is so blind as to suppose that the South can at tempt to secede without a war ? They win oreajt up a union which cost the Mood of our fathers which has made us everything that is great in wealth nd power, and glorious in the eves of tne worm, to iorm a Union with Span iards, and mulattoes, and mixed bloods. who, of course, they will conquer, but will not extirminate, for the purpose xf opening an outlet for slavery. And all this, while a strong faction of the party are determened to revive the Af rican slave trade, because there are not slaveB enough ! Are the honest yeomanry of the country rady for this. Let them ponder it. fy asking ton Dispatch. Bell and Everett Movements.

We have been much interested in the pe rusal of a sage article which appeared in the High Point JteporUr thie week, upon the pro bability of a dissolution of the Union in the .event of the electiop qf Lincoln, and the strong probability that Lincoln will certainly ! the largest meetings of the Democracy that fee elected, inasmuch, as there are four parties I was ever held in Rockingham, in the field, and no Uro or ail of them will Among the resolutions offered by Mr. Set fuse to defeat the black republican.

The Union candidates were nominated expressly to meet the crisis now upon the coantry, which had long been foreseen, would be precipitated in to this canvass. It was well understood four years or more ago, tluit the republicans would run a candidate of their own in the free States, and it was equally as well understood, that there was a party at the South, as sectional in feeling as the republicans, who would put up a sectional candidate in the slave States. It was well known, likewise, that these two parties would wage a deadly warfare against each other, and jeopard the TJnion and des troy the peace ot the country, if no line of policy could be devised to prevent it. Well, at the proper time, the conservative and Union-loving sages of the land, from the North, South, East, and West, met in har monious convention at Baltimore, and selec ted John Bell, ot Tennessee, and Edward Everett, of Massachusetts men of large experience and well-tVied statesmanship and in a spirit of compromise offered them to the people of the whole cpuntry and of all par ties, as eminently worthy of their support for the high ofJices of President and Vice-Presi dent of the United States, whose election would settle the quarrel between the North and South and by keeping out of the Pres idential Chair a black republican, give to the country peace, and stability to the Union. Bell and Everett have been offered in a spirit of compromise between all the other partiee as men who would do equaijustice to all sections alike, if elected and the Un ion, and the Constitution, and the Enforce ment of the Laws, would be safe in their hands. Let the people, think of these things. Gen. Leach at Liberty Hill. Hon. J. M Leach addressed several hun dred of his fe'low citizens of Iredell at Liberty Hill upon the important issues now agitating the country, on last Friday. The large nuni ber who assembled to hear Gen. Leach, many Ladies gracing the throng with their presence; was indicative of the deep and heart-felt in teres which is being everywhere felt among the people at this juncture for the safety of the Union and the welfare ofihe country. I The orator was fully impressed with the great events now culminating in the political zenith, threatening to explode and strew desf traction broad-cast over the land, and with; the consummate ability which he is so emi4 nently distinguished for, he e.ned the base, designs of the Breckinriiijre rii.s-unionitsts and laid bare the hellish plot which was com-l menced 'by -Yancey & Co. at Charleston and; finished at Baltimore, to elect Lincoln, ami then dissolve the Union ! That this was theitf .object, Gen. Leach established by incontror yertible testimony, derived, from the action of the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions by the speeches that have been made by Breckinridge politicians before the assembling of those Conventions and since, and by the press in the interest of the disunion-Brcckin-ridge party and it furnishes the reason why the seceders dropped Mr. Douglas, who could have been elected, perhaps, if secession had not have taken place. 4-S .Gen. Leach will make one or two more speeches in Iredell, and several in adjoining counties, before the election, we advise as many as can do so to go and hear him. The speech was the best we have ever heard the General deliver, and the two and a half hours which he spake seemed less than one. Ge. Leach concluded his truly able ad- dress, by urging every voter, who is favorable . . . to the perpetuity of the Union, and who would save the country from the carnage of inter- usual, sent to have her wakedup.

As Gen. Leach said, the masses of the people Democrats and Whigs are honest; let them cut loose from the miserable and soulless politicians men who would ruin their country for place, power, and filthy lucre, such men are Yancey and others, (who use Breckinridge for a tool) let the people, we say, cut loose from these mercenary politicians and save their country T , J by voting for Bell and Everett, before it is forever too late. Thev can do it and in no other way As we took ho notes, we will not attempt to report Gen.

The Breckinridge Mass Meeting of Mecklenburg; held at Charlotte, a Fail ure ! We learn that the Breckinridge Mass Meet ing which was held at Charlotte last week, and to get up which such a flourish of trum pets was made, proved a sad failure ! There were present, 168 PERSONS ONLY includ ing the orators and some other personages of email repute. The reiU of this meeting is a scathing rebuke to the DiBunionisU in North Carolina, and should be a warning to the Sooth. The people, are getting to under, stand the real object of the Breckinridge-Yancey party, whose design is to dissolve the Union, and the people will set their faces a- gainst the treason. filicide. On the 20th of August, a man by the name of James Ates, aged about 40 years, commit ted suicide by blowing out his brains with a pistol. He chose for the perpetration of this fatal act, a secluded spot, on the waters of Stony Fork, 15 miles west of Witkeshoro', where his remains were not discovered until the 1 hh September. He had threatened self destruction fbr some months previous to his decease. The cause of his committing this ; rash act is not known. What the Democracy of Rock ipghatu County, thought and said in favor of Judge Douglas, on the 29th Hay. On the 29tb day of May last, (we quote from the, Btdeigh Standard) was held one of BetobM, That should the said Baltimore . convention nominate ror oiepuei imeetwilonr entire apprcfcaliQnj and we pledge him our cordial support. After reading the resolutions, Mr. Settle defended J udge Douglas, and urged ihe De mocracy! to unite upon him, and thereby save the party and the coantry. The Hon. A. M. Scales,' (one of the Electors for the ."tat e at large,) being called upon, came forward and defended the resolutions with zeal nd ability. He statedjthat at one time Judge Douglas was not his first choice for the Presidency, but now, in his opinion, the hopes of the Union were upon Douglas. At one time he feared that that giant, that pillar ofistrength, was about to be taken from the Democratic party, and he confessed that he trembled for the consequences ; but now, mere abstractions only divided us, and there was no good reason why we should not Sup port Judge Douglas. Mr. Scales took hi 6eat amiidst great applause. Dr. T W. Keen, Elector for the Sixth Dis trict, wpa next called for. He stated that Judge Douglas was now and had been for vears, his first choice for the Presidency. He showed in an earnest, eloquent spe ech, that ! Douglas is a bold, brave, and consistent states man, jwst the; man for these troublesome times. He declared that hehad accepted the Electorship for the purpbse of bearing the day: of the national Democratic party; but if that flag was to be torn into pieces and parceled out among sections, his obligations were end ed. He,would not bear a sectional flag. J. Ii. McLean, Esq., Elector for the Fifth District, who was in attendance at Court, was next, cabled. Mr. McLean made one of his happiest efforts. His speech was short, but pointed.; He said that like Mr. Scales he had once preferred another but he now urged the people 'to unite on Douglas, If Douglas should obtain the nomination at Baltimore, he would be found this summerand fall in the field fiahting for him. Mr. McLean hit the black Republican party heavy blows, and his ! remarks on the Bell and Everett eoncern were j rich. Mis speech was a decided hit. The qhairman then put the question, and the resolutions were adopted by acclamation." ar L c l l r t i messes, ocaies ana jYtcivcan are now elec tors for the State on the Breckinridjic-disun-ion ticket ; and the Standard, and other prints of like atripe, who published these same pro ceedings with a flourish of trumpets, are fight ing might and main against the "Little Giant if Tlie Franklin Observer, Which was published in the town of Frank lin, Macon county, K.

A fire broke out about halt past seven, at the liquor store of Karslein- gieck & Co., 101 and 103 Tchoupitou- las street, between Lafayette and Gir od. In a short time a terrible explo sion occurred, which caused tho walls to fall, crushing several adjoining buil dings, and burying 50 or 60 persons in the ruins, from among the crowd who had gathered on the street to as sist in removing goods and suppres sing the fire.. Of these, many were firemen, and up to tho time the Delta went to press', at 12 o'clock, 13 per sons had been taken tut of the ruins, all dead or frightfully injured. The following are the names of the dead whose bodies are recovered : Alfred Corme, Ferdinand Guerren- ner, Edward Hovde, Alfred Dela rond. T. G. Bartel'aen.

Now, sir, I hold thatpe are the two only positive prophets which the partisans of Breckioflge can present to the Country. -We know what Yancey and Rhett, sfjuld do if they could, and we know, ilhat Mr. Breckinridge has done ; .inqfhat he or they, or any body else mdymay, just at this time, isn't worth a f 'jtich lours, Itesrrectfully, &c.

We learn that a rVxTl-grown and blown Haytien, black as ebony, and bearing extraordinary powers from the august Jeffrard of Hayti, made his appearanee in Mobile yesterday, and attracted considerable attention His business here was to promote the emi gration of free negroes to Hayti, and he represented that a vessel was in readiness to transport such emigrants thither as might choose' to avail them selves of the opportunity. We understand that the agent wait ed upon Hia Honor the Mayor, who politely directed him to His Worship the bhenft of Mobile Uounty, who in formed him that the laws of the State of Alabama did not recognize or look favorably upon the object of his em bassy, and advised, him that a speedy departure from within the limits of this Commonwealth would probably best comport with the tenor and spirit of the statutes thereof. The 1 ftty t ien ,im proved the hint, uade his way under escort of the Chief of Police, to the mail boat, and by the time this reach es the eye of the reader will probably be in the Crescent Qity. : The press of Louisiana favor the project as a good way of getting rid of the worthless free negroes that form erly infested that S'.atc, but were warned off by the severe statutes re cently enacted by the Legislature. Mobile Advertiser 19th. Clubs, Barbecues and Mass Meetings. These will be the order of the day until the election. Our Democratic opponents are taking the lead in this work. The Breckinridge wing of the Democracy will move heaven aud earth to carry the old North State. Let the Union men resolve that it shall not be. The loss of North Carolina will be disastrous to the Union. Its effect upon the Southern seceders will embolden them to carry out their un holy purpose of disunion. Let the Union men therefore form clubs in every county. Let them hold mass meetings at every conven ient point. There never. was ah elec tion in the Republic so important as this. We must cheek the spirit of disunion, North or South and the on ly effective way to do it, is to elect Bell and Everett. There never was a time then, when the Union men of the land should be willing to sacrifice more time or money on any election than this. Uet every man pick his Hint and prepare for the contest.

Daniel Worth was ealled and not answering, was called out ami judgment entered against his sureties, who will have to pay the bonds with out reduction. On Monday, a chaip whs had it seems, been attending camp meetings recently, but who had taken on too much court xveekr lay down on a bench in the court house to rest his face and hand a while. No doubt the theme of his dreams was woven of recent camp meeting scenes, and waking up, he commenced in stentorian notes a revival song, which struck the audi ence as well as the court with no slight degree of astonishment. The fellow was conducted out fey order of the court to finish his pious exercise in a more appropriate sphere. On Tuesjlay night, two spiritual im bibers, under the iniluence of sump n, got among the dye-pots and came out "black as the acc of spades."
