writing from Naples, says:

Risley and his family last evening, at tea, at

Venice, an American captain and an English

TO THE POLLS

Next Thursday week, the 5th OF August is
the day on which every Democrat is expected
to do his duty 1t is day that every true
friend of Republican principles, in North
Carolina, should devote to his country. May
we not, then, expect that our party in this
district, will turn out en- masse, and give Gen.
Mckay large m a jority. Just such clean
sweep as will forever silence the dissention-
lists and ambitious asprants. We hope every
friend of Mckay will be found at his post
Let every man do his duty, and shew to the
world that they are as firm in their principles
as ever. The Federalists are already making
their boasts that they may elect Mr.. Hall by
using proper exertions. They are looking to
the indifference they fancy to exist in our
ranks, to this result This, of itself, should
be warning to our Democratic friends, and
arouse them to vigilance. AS our Columbus
correspondent truly observes, "The Democra-
cy should bear in mind that McKays' free
trade tariff bill is the law of the land ;" and
they have already experienced the beneficial
results which has followed it, in the shape of
low duties and an enhanced revenue, and this,
too, while we are in the midst of an expensive
war Remember that Gen'l Mckay is oppo-
sed to the ruinous schemes of the federal par
ty in the shape of high Tariff, National
Bank, &c. &c, and has never been found CIV
ing " aid and comfort " to the enemy, by abu-
sing the administration for sustaining the hon
or and rights of the nation in the war now
waging with Mexico. Arouse yourselves,
Democrats and devote one day your coun-
try and your principles

THE METROPOLITAN RoAD.-The Camden
Journal, of the 14th inst, says "a PROPOSE
ton from Boston capitalists, to the North and
South Carolina people, has been received, and
will doubtless be accepted. If we have un-
derstood the matter correctly, these capitalists
propose to subscribe 50 100000 towards the
construction of the road, which is estimated to
cost $4,000, 900, leaving one-third only of the
entire cost to be subscribed by the citizens OF
North and South Carolina and Georgia. A
convention has been called to be held in thi.
town on the 2sth inst, which will no doubt
be numerously attended by the friends of the
Metropolitan route"

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH The Pope

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH THE PopE.-
1t is now a matter of certainty, says the cor
respondent of the New-York Herald, that the
Pope has intimated his desire, though not for
mally, to open diplomatic relations with this
country The channel through which the
overture has been made, is such that it cannot
be disregarded. The Cabinet is fully alive to
the mutual advantages that would result to
both countries, from the establishment of d.
plomatic intercourse between them, and the
President, in his next annual message to Con-
gress, will recommend the appointment Of a
Charge d'Afaires, to reside alternately near
the courts of Rome and Tuscany.

COLUMBUS COUNTY, July 10, 1S47.
Mr.. EDITOR observe in the last number
Of your valuable paper, that you call the at
tention of the Democrats of this Congressional
District to the approaching election, and urge
on them to attend the polls, and shcw to the
whole country the estimation in which they
hold the invaluable services of our late repre-.
sentative, Gen. MCKAY, by again returning
him. by handsome majority to the next
blouse of Representatives of the United States
When the opposing party, &c, would be
dlSorganized from our own ranks, both take
the field, it becomes the duty of the Democra.
cy OF this District to put themselves to incon.
venlence TO sustain, by handsome vote, the
able statesman who has so long and faithfully
represented them in the councils of the nation
Gen. McKay's course has been such as to
extort the praise OF political enemies. TO reflect
honor on his State and district.
The Democracy should bear in mind th,t
" AlCKay's" free trade tariff bill is the law OF
the land, notwithstanding the desertion OF
Senator Haywood. That the predictions OF
NS enemies have proven false, and that the
passage of that bill has given us the world fol
market. Our opponents, on account of oul
great majority in the District, count upon oul
apathy and even express hope OF defeating
zen. Mckay A knowledge of this should
oe'ermlne every Democratin the District to &c
20 INC PollS and honor himself, by again vo.
ting Tor his old and faithful representative.

eTHE MEXICAN News which we publish
to- day is, we think, more interesting, in one
point, than any we have received from that
country since the breaking out of the war.-
OF course the news wants continuation before
we can place strict faith in it; but it comes
through such source as to entltle it to some
credit, and we hope it may turn out to be true.
Peace-honorable peace, and our just dues, is
all the American Union wants. We believe
this we should long since have had, had not
the Federal party of this country show such
hostility to everything connected with the
carrying on of the war.

fair way of being more than realized. Mr..
Walker gives &c comparative statement of the

Excess of Tariff of '46,
$1,O04,254

II is proper to state that the returns from all
the ports had not been received at Washing
ton, for the first ten days i'll July, 1s47. Were
they at hand, we doubt not the excess would
have been still larger. The Secretary also
says: This is exclusive of the duties &C
crued in warehouse, under the new warehous-
ing law, which is nearly half a million, and
will make the total augmentation of duties ac-
crued during the first seven months and ten
days of the Tariff of 1916, compared with the
same time under the Tariff of 1912, about one
million and a half Of dollars" From the re-
turns received for the month of June, and the
first ten days in July, it would seem to indi-
cate that the augmentation of revenue is still
progressing.

sentence in Col. Doniphan's remarks, to which
we wish to direct the readers attention par
tcularly. He is speaking of the reason why
we cannot have peace, and, according to our
notion, he speaks volumes, when he says
" the speeches which are made in opposition
to this war" are "made by those who are
postponing the peace eternally." Col Doni-
