This is our last publication before the election On Monday, the issues which have occupied our CO., lumns so much of late will be decided. Our paper will not appear again until Tuesday. We have but
 few words yet to say to political friends. The arguments are exhausted. Action is the only thing now required.
 We firmly believe that there is democratic ma- iority now in the county. Ie they but act together firmly and faithfully. the whole ticket will undoubted- ly succeed If it do not succssd it will be because subordinate questions, local topics, controversies that ought never to have existed, or having existed should have been forgotten, will have weakened the unon and thereby impaired the strength of the party. It is idle to say that there is not something 10 fear these heads but there are strong hopes, nay confident expectations. that all these matters may be put aside, compromised in spirit of gen. erous magnanimity, and noble zeal to sacrifice personal feelings to the good of the cause. Let but this noble effort be made and we shall achieve the most complete triumph that have ever rewarded our labors in this county, and return for the first time since 1887, full democratic ticket to the legislature It is worth noble exertion. It will repay heavy disappointment, in any matter of mere personal con- cern Knowing the high-minded trotsm of the gallant democracy of the county we look for settle ment of these minor matters before the day of action comes, and bold, united, vigorous and triumphant char ge-all together-upon Monday

The editor of the Advertiser is narrowing the is- sue between himself and correspondents, upon the position taken by Judge DARGAK towards the sub. | treasury, to conflict about matters of fact. His correspondents affirmed that the Judge had declared himself opposed to the sub-treasury. The Judge | "authorized" US to state the course which he had really adopted-not at this place that place par tcularly, but throughout IL involves no opposition to the subueasury, but the contrary, a recogni. ton of the sub-treasury principle, as the settled principle of the party, actually recognized in practice, and the Judge further declared that he ready to vote for all laws necessary to give it full effect, even l to the extent of adopting the whole machinery of the repealed subtreasury bill of 1S40 parts of which he did not consider at all material or necessary. We make these statements deliberately, and affirm on the authority, that interpretation can fairly be put any thing said by Judge Dargan, at variance with the substantial accuracy of this de- | scription of his course.
 The Advertiser replies that il has ''the very best authority" to repeat, that Judge Dargan did &c., pulga, "declare himself in opposition to the sub- treasury" and that the position which he took this: "Thal he sorry when the bub-treasury bill was Passeu, anu was Biau Wheh U was iePeaieu'
 It is scarcely possible that there should not have been grave mistake in this; for all Judge Dar- aan's political friends know that he advocated and supported the sub-treasury, when it was issue in ls4O It IS impossible that this part of the speech can have been properly understood. The rest is equally in error. We have stated the substance of what our candidate has maintained, and affirm that on no occasion at Sepuga or elsewhere has he given countenance 10 the opinion, that he is has been opposed to the "sub-treasury.''
 The Advertiser wants Judge Dargan's ssignature'' to the statement. In opinion, the authority is sufficient it is, and they that question it, will not find any difficulty, upon an application made m the right quarter, 10 have this doubt resolved, if it is important to them. This is sufficient for the pres- ent The democratic party has no where complain ed of any want of zeal ability in Judge Dargnn to maintain all it's principles, and look with more amusement than alarm, upon this effort to show that
 they ought to have been startled at something which
 has been left to the sasacity of fwh'ggery to find

We beg our democratic friends to be very careful
 in watching the vote for Governor, upon the ballot which they deposile. The regular democratic can didate is NATHANIEL TERRY. A few democrats who have deserted the party on that name, are en-. gagged with the whigs in attempting to defeat the party nomination, by wide spread coalition in f- vor ofJosHUA L. MARTIN. The design not being avowedy whig, large opportunity is given to decelye democrats and the ticket should be carefully walch- ed, that no desiring to support the democratic party may unwnsly put in ballot, headed with name, the of which must lnfallibly distract, disperse and break up the party. The disclosures of long premeditated hostility to the coave ntion nomination. have given strong grounds for the belief that it is part of wide spread political combinations having some uterior views, for which the dsorgan- ization of the democratic party now, is deemed es. sential. It must be met now or have long period of internal conflict and disaster before us of which the end cannot be foreseen. Let the true democrat
 then, who desires the ascendancy of his party in this State, vote undersiandngly 10 NAT. TERRY Of Limestone, for Governor.

As the population of England progressed. the pub- lie mind was continually alarmed lest they should become dependant upon foreign countries for bread | The science Of iamng was encouraged until 1t reached high state of perfection. and the continu ally swelling population steadily enhanced the de- mand for bread, causing the price to rise to an ex traordinary level, where it maintained by ac- tion oflaw, in order to draw out all he capaclty of the country to produce food. Barren healhs marsh- es, clay lands, all that under ordinary circumstances are un6tted for cultivation, were forced into the ser vice, and made to produce bread at price, and the people were compelled to give any price that would preserve the country from aependance on for egn nations for bread The manufacturing popua- tien rolled up, however, and stlll the demand for bread continued to exceed the supply, until il be- came evi'ent that much of the means of the peo- pic was expended for bread, that taxes could not bepaid in full, and on the 10th June, 1S45, the 1 minister declared as follows
 ''i do not defend the present corn law, on the ground that is for the special advantage oi any par ticuar interest, believe that it would be mpos- sible to maintain any law which should be supposed to be founded upon the consideration upon which il is said this law IS founded, viz desire to the rents of the landlords, (hear)
 As to the incumbrance of estates it is impossible to rest its defence on any such ground. II is impos sible to rest it's defence the exclusive interest o any class. l will freely own that doubt whe her could vindlcate the maintenance of this protection the ground of be- ihg nuepeHueht oI loieiSh sHites' shouiu 'cJoice in the fact, and in the result, that great portion of our supply derived from our internal resources But tU hope 10 make ourselves entirely independent of foreign supply, is cut of the question:"
 This is the result of 150 years oI strife and oppres sion From agricultural or bread-selling peo- pie, they have been converted into breadbuying peo pie, in spite of all the laws which could be enacted The manufacturing population have been taxed, ac cordng to the best estimates, 900 .0C0, S25O, 900 per annum in the extra price they have paid to raise bread in England. In spite of all that in cumbrance the natural advantages of England enable her manufacturers to triumph all the world while that world pursued war rather than peace.- The competition has now become great, that the burden olthe cora laws must be removed, and they have been abandoned in principle. Hereafter the world will look back 10 the 150 years of corn-law bondage in the history of Eng land, as they now dc to the 400 years of submission to the Romans, and the prevalence of ''protecton" will be reg garded much like the Salem wichcraft men will wonder that such things were.-[N.
