Hon. David S. Reid, the Democratic c,ur
date for Governor of North Carolina i !.
his political opponents readily admit va az
thy man;' he is Democrat from nrinc;rIa
and by nature he entertains those fpolirn,
which prompt every lover of freedom to IogSs
upon his fellow-men as entitled 10 enjoy ooma1
privileges under the laws which govern 4 aI
to have an equal voice in making those l,vrs,,
and due influence in deciding as TO who shsrI
be promoted TO execute the laws. No rennb
lican (for we hold that hundreds of the viii.
party are anti-republicsns, which no man csS
doubt who watches them closely0 need know
more than the fact that Mr.. Reid is a Demo
crat, and has always been Democrat 81
firm, that no ties of kindred could swerye him
from his devotion 10 those principles of gov'
eminent, or induce him to abandon for 6Ihv
lucre," or the smiles of pride and power, ths
great end and aim of Democratic principles
But if it is required that the public Should
know more than this, we doubt not that Mr.
Reid has so lived and conducted himself inhis
transactions of private life, that he is as vii.
ling to challenge the scrutiny of the people in
this respect, as he is to invite the discussion
of the relative claims to repubcanism, Of
wings and democrats. If we are correctly in.
| formed, he has no. been nursed in the Ian Of
wealth, nor reared by the sickIy band Of lux.
ury. He stands forth the architect of his own
reputation; worthy" example of what in.
dustry and perseverance can accomplish, in
democracy or government of the people,
where merit, and not wealth and "blood,"is
the onl y qualification necessary to honor and
trust To that honor and that trust, Mr.. Reid
has fairly won his way. The people OF his
Congressional district have twice honored him
with one of the most important trusts of re.
preventative government-the second time by
a largely increased majority.
In the Assembly of his native State, he has
shown that he is capable of representing
free people. He was there well weighed il
the balance, and not found wanting. No
even the ties of friendship, relationship, no
self-interest, could make him give one volt
against the will of those he was representing
We refer to that session of the Legislature
when the Hon. Robert Strange and the Hon
Thomas Settle were candidates for the Senate
of the United States, and the vote of Mr.. ReC
turned the scale; although Mr.. Settle was hi.
relation-and more, his best friend-he be-
trayed not the trust that had been reposed in
him f; he voted that democrat should be en-
trusted with the interests of North Carolina
in the Senate, in preference to even his friend
and relative of opposite politics. And is there
a republican in North Carolina who rightly
appreciates the representative character, who
does not love and honor David S. Reid fol-
that vote? Not one, we hope.

about who commenced the war, surely his

The Great Southern MaH.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
says, in letter of the 10Th:
The Great Southern railroad line will soon
be employed again, at the same rate that the
Postmaster General offered to pay, and which
the company peremptorily refused.
The only difficulty in the way of this ar
rangement, consists now in the settlement OF
the damages, caused by the company to the
department, and for this purpose, the Rich
mond company, and the newly got up Bay
line, are now in the process of honorable ar.
rangement.
P. S.-Since the above was in type, we
see that writer in the Ledger subsequent
ly denies this statement, and asserts that the
Company will not abate in the amount deman
ded previously for carrying the mail, and tina
there is no negotiation in progress for the ar
rangement of any difficulty

ASYLUM FOR THE DEAF, DUMB, AND BLIND
The Corner Stone of building intended as
an Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind of
North Carolina, was laid in Raleigh on the
18th instant. We learn from the Raleigh pa
pers that the ceremonies were highly impress
sive, and were witnessed by large concourse
of persons assembled on the occasion. The
Grand Master of the Masonic fraternity OF
North Carolina oficiated in laying the Stone,
the Masons being out in full regalia, as also
the Odd Fellows, Temperance associations.
&c. An address was delivered by the Rev.
Mr.. Bryan, of Newbern, a minister of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
In the evening the pupils of Mr. Cookies
Deaf and Dumb School. assembled in the Com.
mons Hall of the Capitol, when Mr. Peet, of
the New York Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, delivered an address. Then came an
examination of the Deaf mutes, which, SAYS
the Register, clearly established the fact that
the efforts of their Teachers TO guide them in
the acquisition of knowledge, and to aid them
in their moral and mental training, have been
attended with the best reward of the Instruc-
tor, entire and complete success.

The Safety of the South.

We are glad the excitement of the Presidential
Election is over. The people Of the Southern
States have now much more important matters to
claim their attention, and we earnestly hope, there
will be no delay in thorough organization, for the
protection of their rights and interests. We do
not desire TO agtate unnecessary, we do not wish
to stir up sectional strife, nor do we wish that
South Carolina should, by any rash or impulsive
action, render herself ridiculous, but we do hope
to see complete unanimily amongst the slavehold-
ing States, in the defence of rights and interests
precious alike to all. 1t is a Notifying fact that
her Sister States regard any movement of South.
Carolina, with cat suspicion, and from the expe-
rencc of the past, are apt to come to the conclu-
sion, that any measure, in which she takes the lnl-
tiative must partake of the nature Of dsorganiza-
ton or notification, and are consequently unwil-
ling to follow her ; but Vi on this paramount is
sue'' we cannot perceive how they can keep aloof
from any feasible plan Of defence, against the in
creasing aggressions of the North. The issue
has 10 be met, and it would worse than folly for us
to divide, with regard to the mode, manner or ,ime
in which it should be met. The settlement of
these questions, must be strictly and entirely
unanimous, and to accomplish this desired end
we have piled our pen, in urging upon the people
SOUTHERN CONVENTION. To this it must come at
last-such Convention must be held, for in no
other way can we possibly see any chance of OBJ
tanning unanm,y and concert of action. We
therefore urge our brethren of the press to stir up
the people to action; the time for talking or threat

The Presidential Election.

We write more in sorrow than in anger when
we record the election OF General Taylor TO the
Presidency We regret the result, believing that
The Administration Of :he Government on Demo-
cratic principles, is more beneficial to the whole
country, and more conducive to the safety and
prosperity of the Southern States, than the mea-
sures of Wing Administration. Thus much for
our opinion. We are thoroughly republican i'll
feeling and principle, and therefore bow in sub.
mission to the will of the majority; but we can
not overlook the fact. that General Taylors mill
tary rcnown alone, has elevated him to this high
and important trust for his most ardent admirers
and warmest supporters did not choose their posi-
tion from any faith in his abilities as statesman.
We sympathise with the old hero-he goes into
the office personally beloved by the American peo
pie, and with name and reputation untarnished;
if he leaves it with the same halo Of glory around
him, he will have accomplished more than the
most of his predecessors. We sincerely wish.
that he may prove wise and patriotic Chief Ma
gistrate, and that he may call around him those
men, whose experience and abilities, and devotion
to the Union may guide the ship Of State, through
the breakers of fanaticism which threaten her de-
struction.
With regard 10 the Vice President, Mr.. Fill
more, the less said about him the better. South
ern Wings in voting for him, knew that they were
supporting an avowed abolitonist, man unfriend-
" TO their institutions; upon them therefore, rests
the responsibility Of any mischief that may result
from his election. We trust however, that he will
be more conservative in his official acts, than his
past public life would lead us to anticipate Raised
to the second office in the nation, and standing in
this relation to the 1chole American people, he may
wisely consider that sectional prejudices should
be laid aside, and that whatever share he may have
in the Administration of the Government il must
be administered for the good Of the whole.
AS party triumph the Wings cannot claim
this result. The American people are democratic
BY vast majority, and by whatever means Wing
Administration may occasionally get into power,
there is republican leaven enough amongst the
people, TO correct the abuses which their unwisc
and impoitic legislation may produce.
