NORTH cARoLINA CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION

| Of the four Wing members of the last Congress,
from North Carolina, two EDMUND DEBERRY ant
KENNETH RAYNER) peremptorly decline re-elec
ton, and we have not yet heard of any nomination:
TO supply their places.
In the Mecklenburg district d. l.. Banger appears to
have no Wing opponent, and will pretty certainly be
turned.
In the Buncombe district Thos. l.. Clingman has two or
three Wing competitors at present The Wing majority in
the district is large but it is hoped that the Wings will settle
their differences in a convention.
In the Rockingham district David S. Reid Qoco has as
yet no opponent.
In the Cumberland district r. NJ Saunders declines Dr.
Cameron, Col. Gotten, and Duncan X. McRae named
among the Locofocos. No Wing proposed yet.
In the New Hanover district j. j. Mckay will Of course
run again The Wings have started Thomas ID. Meaes
able young champion of their principles and make
fight against nveterae majority of 1880. This is
example worthy Of general imitation.
In the Orange district there is said to I've effort making
to rule off John r. j. Daniel the present member Sterling
H. Gee, of Halifax, is suggested Wing candidate. The
Loco majority is about 900.
In the Edgecomb district Archibald Arlington, incumbent

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY.


The Lynchburg Virginian sets off in proper
manner the absurdities of modern Democracy, as
illustrated in several late efforts to prevent the peo-
pie from governing themselves
"A New "DEMocRATIc" RULE "A Locofoco
Convention was held in Winchester last Saturday
week for the purpose Of nominating candidate for
that Congressional District. The Convention was
In session from o'clock in the morning till 10 at
night and finally adjourned without being able to
effect nomination. This failure was occasioned
by the adoption of rule at the outset, which is an
improvement upon that agreed upon at Baltimore
In May last to wit: that three-ffths of the votes
present should be necessary to choice. 1t is real
ly difficult to keep pace with the Progressive De-
mocracy.' While they contend that foreign EN-
pires may be annexed to the Union by bare MAORI
ties, they require majority of not less than two
thirds to nominate candidate for the Presidency,
and of threeffths to designate candidate for Con-
gress Reversing the rule which would suggest it
self as being proper, the most important question
may be decided with the fewest safeguards, while
the most trivial must be so hedged in to render
decision almost impractcable 1t is impossible to
conjecture what may constitute a legitimate Loco
foco majority this time next year, unless they have
some very important object effect without votes
enough to accomplish it and in that event, we
should not be surprised to see the South Carolina
doctrine, that minority ought to rule, stubbornly
insisted on as good old Jeflersonian plan!

PENNSYLVANIA.

The General Appropriation bill, which was some
days ago reported to the House of Representatives
OF Pennsylvania, has passed that body and been
sent TO the Senate.
It contains clause appropriating $s55,OOO for
the payment of the August interest on the State
debt, and an amendment which was appended to the
bill provides that, in of deficiency pay the
interest in full, all sums Of $50 and under be paid
in full, and the remainder pro rata, and drafts upon
the Treasury be given for the balance which drafts
are to be paid in the order Of their presentation
fast as money shall come into the Treasury. This
amendment, it is said, absolutely secures the pay
ment Of the August interest. 1t is expected these
drafts will be at very trifing discount and viii be
paid as fast as presented

THE ZoLL-vEREIN.

The annual festival Of the German Benevolent
Society of New York took place on Tuesday. The
Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER was present as guest,
and, in reply to complimentary toast briefly ex-
pressed his sentiments on the subject of the Ger
man Zoll-Verein or Customs Union. This portion
OF his remarks we copy from the Courier:
But, Mr.. President may avail myself of this oppou-
nifty TO refer to what occurring the country from

The removal was effected with great order and

Indians character and habits prescribed all excesses
and was marked with strict integrity and good faith.

CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL.-The Baltimore
Clipper very slyly observes that the laughing and
crying occasoned by the passage of the Canal Bill
has been rather premature, the act requires a
guaranty of the Mining Companies for the trans
portation Of 10000 tons Of freight, &c. and that
the amount Of bonds which the Company is autho-
rzed to issue must be sold at par. Now, the Clip
per will permit us briefly to assure it that the
friends Of the canal apprehend no difficulty. The
representations which they have made, Interference
to the boundess wealth of our mineral regions were
true in the aggregate and true in detail. Their
aroused energies will speedily shake every pillar Of
opposition to the dust.--Cumberiand CiDilina.
