didate for reelection in the District composed of the
Counties Of Orange, Caswell, Chatham Person, and
Granville, and that he is again opposed by john
Kerr, Esq, of Caswell. We can perceive no reason
why the peope of that District should not re-eect

The Raleigh Register, in noticing the opening OF
the campaign in Chatham between Messrs. Yenaple
and Kerr, affects to sneer at what 1t is pleased to
term the sattLebuary" of the former-that is, Mr..
Venable's opposition to the Wilmot Provlso and his
strong regard for Southern rights are not at all
surprised at this. paper which could exult over
the reelection of Mr. Badger after he had denonsrG-

dency Southern pledged to the North on this
question: and for the Vice Presidency rank Abolition
ist-is perfectly consistent in its opposition to such
man as Mr.,V Venable; and Mr.. Herr is welcome to

may be able to afford him. Quattlebumry" indeed! !!

from Wing press is" Quattlebumry and such

is the reward which Whigism thus holds out to a
faithful public servant! Do you find it so in the
North? No.. Let Northern member dare vote,

sented by the Raleigh Register. the very essence
of political perfection.
We call especially upon the Democracy of the
Orange District to organize in time and be ready for
the ballot-box in August. They have the power in
their hands, and they it to their character

the Union, to put forth that power in the efec

guise he may put on. is still Whg and in full COM
munion with the old leaders of the Federal party
and his election, under all the circumstances, would
be calamity from which the Democracy of the Dis
trct would not soon recover Let them then rally at
once, in all the Counties, to the side of their gallant
standardbearer; and show how much they appreciate
his talents, his integrity, and his patriotism, BY crown
ing him with signal triumph in August next.
