UNION AND HARMONY!
j We present below the Card of Dr. Wat
son to the Democracy of North Carolina,
his letter to Mr. Leak and Mr. Leak's re
ply, from which it will be seen that James
B. Shepard, Esq. has again jbeen nomina
ted for Governor, and that Mr. Leak
most cheerfully acquiesces in the nomina
tion We have always accorded to Mr.
Leak honesty of purpose andcandor and
manliness of cHafacter: and as a friend to
him and his friends, we pdint with a just
pride to his admirable-letter. That gen
tleman, arrived in this city on Thursday
last, and was inynediately waited upon by
a number of his democratic friends; and,
among others, we conversed with him fre
quently and freelyupon our past differen
ces, upon the circumstances which then
surrounded us, and upon the prospects of
the Republican party in North Carolina.
On Monday last the action of the Commit
tee was frankly and' fully laid before Mr.
Leak by the Chaiiman: whereupon Mr.
Leak stated that he was entirely satisfied
with the nomination, and annoiinced his
determination to give to Mr. Shepard. a
cordial and hearty support.! That pledge
he will carry out; and his friends, we feel
convinced, will unite with him and with
their democratic brethren the estate over,
iri the great contest now going on for the
political redemption of our beloved Com
monwealth.
Now that the breach in our ranks has
been healed, let the democrats j redouble
their exertions. They have a Candidate
for Governor who has given j evidence
wherever he has been, of his ability to ex
plain and enforce the great principles and
doctrines of the party, and who has prov
ed himself the superior in popular debate
to both Mr. Stanly and GovjGraham.
That candidate will start next week for the
West, and We call upon our friends from
Orange to Cherokee, to "hold up his
hands" and to second his exertions, until
the battle is won. Let our strongest arid
best men bebrought out in every county
for the Legislature; arid in the language of
Mr. Leak, let the contest on our part be,
'a long pull, a strong pull, arid a pull alto
gether," and our word for it, the day will
be ours. . ;
"Raleigh, May 18, 1846.
To the Democracy of North Carolina:
Fellow Citizens: At a meeting of the
Democratic State Committee j this dayj
held, the respective claims of Messrs. Leak!
and Shepard have been again placed be-'
fore that body, on counting! the votes'
James B. Shepard, Esq. of-Wake, was du-
ly nominated as the Democrajic Candidatej
for Governor of North Carolina;; and as the
organ of that Committee,' I hereby an
nounce to you that result. ! . j
Permit me, fellow citizens, most respect
fully to express the earnest hope, that all
diflererices of opinion among ourselves as:
to men will be speedily buried and for
gotten, and that the Republicans of North
Carolina, united upon principle, will now
move forward as one body, and .under one
common banner, to the achievement of a
brilliant ajid glorious victory. lifet the
motto of the campaign be: "We can and
we will.

: My dear Sir: Your letter as Chairman
of the Democratic State Committee, an
nouncing the decision of that Committee as
between James B. Shepard and myself,
has been received; and although it calls not
for a reply, yet such may not be consider
ed (under all the circumstances) as obtru
sive. -' ' r-"" J " .; -;'v-i"
Prompted by ah earnest desire to avoid
a rupture in our party, arid to heal a
breach which threatened the success of
our principles, I was induced to submit to
Mr. Shepard the proposition1 which has
called your body together.
The Committee having now acted, and
that decision through you being made
known, I should be untrue to the whole
principles of my life, if I did not cheerful
ly acquiesce in the nomination made. I
have always been ready to conform to the
wishes of my party, when fairly express
ed, and I now the more willingly consent
to the sacrifice required, from the consid
eration that the post assigned me has been
given by those whose motives are unques
tioned, and whose judgment I had delibe-j
rately invoked. Principles, and not men,
have hitherto been a part of my political
creed, nor shall it be less so, when brought
to bear against myself.
In conclusion allow me to say I sinr
cerely hope that nothing" may arise oh the
part of our respective friends, which will
have the least tendency to probe a wound
that ought to cicatrize, or to awaken ani
mosities that should slumber, but on the"
contrary, the animating principle may be:
CA long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all
together." Nothing short of this can re
deem the "Old North State" from her pre
sent political alliance, which I

Singutar . and Fatal Accident. -An
interesting little son of Mr. Solomon
Brown, of this vicinity, aged seven years,
was killed in a most extraordinary, man
ner, a few days since. A little companion
was whirling round with great rapidity, a
piece of wood notched like a saw, attached
to a string (called a whirligig) when the
siring broke, and the notched iece struck
little Brown on the throat, and punctured
the wjndprpe; -making an aperture not lar
ger than the head of a good sized pin. It
was thought a slight hur t,f but 'soon the Jo
dy began to swell, from the diffusion of air
under the cellular tissue of the skin, and
presented so frightful an appearance, that a
physician was sent for. He arrived only
to announce that there was no hope, and
his afflicted parents had to witness the
speedy death of a darling child, who was(
nerfectlv conscious of his situatioji. and
who spent his last breath in imploring re
lief at their hands. Raleigh Reg.
