MR. EDITOR: The Congressional Campaign pro-
crosses favoraby in the Ninth District. At time
We thought that should have to let the election
go by default, but the righteous Indignation of the
good people of Northampton could stand it no long
e. Numbers of the moderate and several decided
democrats supported the election of Gen. Taylor,
lying upon the pledge that his administration should
be modelled after that Of the 'early Presidents"
But alas what mistake. Most solemn pledges
are not only shamefuly violated, but gloried in.
When the postmaster at Murfreesborough pro-
scbed they thought that the of that moral muir
deTer Collamer, had fallen by mistake; but when the
amiable Pritchard was inundated at Elizabeth City,
contrary to the expressed wishes of wings and de-
BOcrats, they found that they had been deceived
but yet entertained hopes that old Zac would rise
in his strength and shaking off the influences that
cramped his benignity of heart, would restore the
original order of things. That last hope has been
doomed to disappointment. His vengeance has fall

agent on the Petersburg Rail Road man whose
praise is in the mouth of every one. Mr.. Peterson

salary and after years of unremtting toll for the pub

Champion Gen. Person. to enter the lists and endea-

will get all that COL Bggs, late member received
and think rather more, inasmuch certain matters
that operated against the Colonel cannot affect him.

that feeling has already been greatly modifed) our
candidate will receive very large vote. Mr.. Out
law is regarded as occupying false position-while
he regarded whig and an honest man, this ad-
m!nlsration is looked upon as Plebad concern, ana
miseraby corrupt. If David Outlaw would throw
of allegiance to the corrupt influences now welding
our chief executive power he might succeed-as he
/ Is, success is impossible.
In Hertford, every one is the 9Ht cfce. AT the
first meeting of Messrs. Person and Outlaw in that
County the democratic candidate was confronted by
Kenneth Rayner of Wake County, and Smith, the
Thigs gsenator and solicitor for the district backed by
Uutaw himself. But the discussion terminated SO
hVorably to the democrats that Rayner was dunn
founded intending to support Outlaw, he and Smith
