The EIGHTH DIsTRIcT.-We continue 10

that the probabilities of his success are by no

we would beg our friends TO remember that
Mr. Sianly and his supporters will leave no
stone unturned-will spare no etfort-will

their object and it behooves the Democratic
party TO use all fair and honorable means to
secure the election Of their gallant champion
and the triumph OF their principles in this dis
trict. In proof Of what we say in regard 10
Mr.. Stanly. we give an extract from letter
from friend in Beaufort county. The writer

tiers, and what he says may be relied upon =
''Ihe political campaign in this district between
Lane and Stanly, is becoming warm, -.
Both parties are sanguine of success. Stanly has
heavier load to carry than he ever shouldered be-

has lost ground in this section, during the last

Congress in this district, upon the authority.

from the Carolinian Office, on the day previous.
Did that bill announce Mr. Reid as candidate.
or did ii merely say that he would address his
fellow citizens at certain points without STA
ting any particular objeet' We ask this
question because we have been assured upon
unquestionablc authority, that the bill upon
its face said nothing about MIR. Reid's being a
candidate for Congress. and we want 10 know.
how, upon the authority of that bill, the OBJ
server came to make the announcement which
it did, especially as il says it knew nothing
