BEWARE OF DECEIVERS !

We have heard stories of every shape and nature,
mt in circulation by the Custom House Dictator,
and retaied by his lackies about certain prominent
Whigs-pretending to tell how they will and will
not vote that they will not vote for the Democratic
Wing Congressional nomination, &c. This is all
for effect. After diligent inquiry, even of the in
dividuals named, we hear of only tive persons who
claim 10 be Wings whose votes will probably be
lost, and these from private considerations. These
stories orig mated without the sh adow of truth
the mere manufacture of the Officer of Governmet,
who receives $50 per month ofthe Peoples mon
ey to pay him for tel ling them who they shall vote
for, and doing nothing for the public as equiva-
lent On the contrary we have heard v Buren, men
declare their intention to vote for WILLIAM UP.
HAM They say he has been abused, villfied and
wronged-that they will vote for man for Congress
who will not sit still and see the workingmen OF the
North classed with the slaves of the South, by the
Carolina Nullifers. They say Vermont needs
NAyLoR in Congress well as Pennsylvania, and
that UPHAM is just the man to put these Southern
Van Buren, arisocrats TO silence when the Northern
Farmer is called a slave.

wall was four feet thick, and bad had door con
Meeting the two cells; which door way had been
walled up, and through this they broke. The
other cell has trap door lending TO the cover
ed way which goes out into the ditch of the fort.
They then made their bed boards into ladders
by tying them together with their sheets, and
mounted the wall of the ditch and escaped,
The blacksmith who had sleeled the bar, when
he heard that such an article had been found
in the cell, came forward TO say that he had
done it for one of the workmen, but had no idea
of the purpose for which it was wanted. The
work man is in custody. The following is the list

GOOD NEWS FROM N. CAROLINA f!

The Vanites have been crying ''re.action" for a
year past, but no reaction comes, Scarcely an
election greater than that Of constable in some
solitary country village goes in their favor Those
men who dream of reactions mistaken. Near
ly all of the Fall elections will go in favor OF the
Democratic Wing ticket. Maine will go SOL
linois will go so-Pennsylvana will go so-and
Missouri will probably stick to the office holders
The truth is, the people have taken the elections
into their own hands and there is universal rally
of the Democracy of the Country against the OPP
pressions of the federal Office holders.
We have returnes from N. Carolina which indi-
cate the utter overthrow of the Calhoun Van Buren,
Multiplying faction in the State. The ballot Of
Wayne is particularly gratifying, as this county is
in Charles Shepards Congress District, and great
pains were taken to make him believe that his
constituents would not 60 with him in his opposi-
ton to the SubTreasury Bill. We should not he
surprised is Gov Dudley majority should reach
$4,000. Two years ago it was only 4O43, and in
the fall of the year Mr. Van Buren, carried the
Presidential Election by majority of 1884.
