REDEEMED, DISRETHRALLED, tG0EHEkA.
TED.-With proud feelings of rejoicing do we
pen these lines. The Old North State is re-
deemed. Taylor Whiggery is as dead as Ju-
Illus Cesar, within the borders of North Caro-
lima. We care not that Manly is elected by
a pitiful majority of two or three hundred
Federalism has been Frustrated by blow
from which it cannot recover. No powers Of
lying, slandering, boasting, or bull-ragging,
which Federalism may bring TO its aid. will
suffice TO galvanize into life the rotten carcass
of Taylorism. The die is cast, and henceforth
the good Old North State will take her place
in the line with her Republican sisters OF the
South. Federalism may endeavor to whistle
up its spirits by telling its followers that if it
hadn't been for this, and if it hadn't been for
that, Manly would have been elected by 5000
majority 1t wont do. This kind of stuff will
gull no one. TaylOrIsm beat Charles Manly.
Mark this and against the ides of November
when the 4 Electoral. votes of North Carroll
ma are cast for Cass and Butler, then it will
be demonstrated that it was not because Chas
Manly was not strong, but because Taylorism
was weak, that the Federal party suffered such
a waterloo defeat. Federalists may endeavor
to break the force of their terrible fall by tell.
ing you that " Free Suffrage" did it-that
Charles Manly, the "inimitable Charley" was
put up by the Raleigh Wing clique, and there
fore he was unpopular-that General Apa-
thy" played the very old Harry with their
forces, but all this is CANNON. The sensible,
serious, rejecting amongst them, know full
we'll that Mr.. Manly is one of the most popu-
lar men in the State; that he has as many
strong, warm, personal friends, as any Wing
in the State-that he is fine popular speak
er, with captivating manners, and as capable
of drawing out the whole Wing strength at
any man they could start. This they know
and this they said before the election. They
may reverse the picture now as a means Of
covering their defeat, but they know in theiI
hearts that any man they might have had in
the field would have shared the same fate.
In this, our hour of rel oicing, we will say
nothing of our own friends who could, if they
had only done their duty, have triumphantly
elected Mr. Reid We will not for the pres
ent say ought of two or three eastern counte!
that might have saved the election of Mr.
Reid, simply by polling their whole strength
We think their own reflections will be suffi
GENTLY severe monitors without any remark
from the Republican press. We shall, how
ever, most certainly expect them to redeem
their honor by extraordinary exertions between
this and the 9TH of November. They hav
every stimulous that can possibly urge men t
work. We appeal to them as democrats, il
the full confidence that they will fully redeem
their character.
Brother democrats from the sea board to tn
mountains, we have now everything befor
US that can stimulate democrats and patriot
to the performance of their Whole duty. VII
we not work like men! We can carry tn
State for Cass and Butler by handsome ma
jority' and bury whiggery in grave so dee
that not be heard OF for years in the oil
North State, by uniting in one gallant strug
gle. Will we not do it? Who is there tia
does not with his whole heart and soul an
swer, yes' We can give Cass and Butler a
least four thousand more votes than we CAV
MIR. Reid, if We will only try. Work, an
we will pledge the State to the gallant an
true-hearted Cass and Butler by a handsom
majority. More anon.
