tut better than they were in the last canvass He
will sai in this County, and his vote In Rutherford
and Cieaveland must and will be large"
CAswELL CousrY, July 25, 1850
have been pleased this week-it being Court
week-.to see the divisions among the expected sup
Porters of the s'Sodomitish candidate for Govern
or-some in favor of Free Suffrage, others opposed
to it, and all opposed to altering basis Of repre-
sentation. l have talked with several Wings who
stances, while some few are advocating his pretend
ed principles. COL Reid will undoubtedly get larg
er vote in Caswel thar before, and Manly much
smaller one, as he gets no Democrats and but few
Whlgs-for some who supported him before say they
did very reluctantly, and never be driven to it
again. We have come to the conclusion that David
5. Reid will be our next Governor by large majori-
~. All we ask is fair day. good turn out, and
the work is done.''
JEFFERSON, Ashe, July %, 1850.
"1n Gov. Manly's extraordinary harangue here on
the 9Th instant, be made great boast of his own
smartness when little Soy, and said that his Father
in consequence Of that-although very poor-had
borrowed money to educate him and to show that
he still retains his smartness and has improved upon
it, he alluded to the little gray pony and $50 cash
all the patmony he ever had, and now. 10 and behold
he is the great Governor of North Carolina But
with all his boastings and his efforts defamation,
with the most bitter abuse Of Col. Reid while con-
fined to sick bed think the audience were disap-
pointed in the Governor; for several of the most in
teigent Wings acknowledged that he is far inferior
to Morehead or Graham.
There are several good Wings here who say they
will vote for Col. Reid. The Democrats are in fine
spirits, and shall roll up increased majority for
Reid in Ashe. Gov. Manly in his appeal citi-
zens, intimated that they were almost shut out
from the world by the mountains; and he told them
that Col. Reid, by his to divide the School Fund
according to Federal population, had robbed them of
thousands Of dollars of School money that the poor
little barefooted fellows ought to have had and
would have thought, from the inference that they
were poorly educated and so i'll bred, that if any
great bursting fellow, like His Exceency, should ap
proach the cabins where they live, they would run
away in every direction to hide from his august pres
ence. think that the good people amongst the
mountains, will teach the Governor about the first of
August that they are not to be thus ridiculed and
msrepresented with impunity."
RurHERroRDroN, July %, 1850.
"Col. Reid is going on swi.nmingly, and am con-
6dent of his success. You need not be at all sur.
prised if he gets majority in old Rutherford Half
the Wings (about 7OO) may vote for Manly-half the
remainder will not vote at al-and the balance, to-
gether with erery Democrat will 60 for Reid. There
were 400 votes cast for Reid two years ago in this
County. Now add 300 or $50 to these, and Gov.
Manly's majority is little below nothing. Hurrah
for Reid -

GOV. MANLY AND MR.. SEWARD.

GOV. MANLY AND MR.. SEWARD.
Mr.. Seward, of New York, moved a few days
since, in the Senate TO admit New Mexico into the
Union as State, Proclamation by the President.
This motion was put and negatived, Mr.. Seward vo-
ting in the Affirmative and ALL the Senators pre-
sent forty-two) in the negative.
Thus was the arch-fend of Aboltonism rebuked
and put down in the American Senate. For these
facts, see late Washington City papers.
Gov. Manly o. came out unequivocally, at Ma
rion, Mcdowell County, in favor Of the Z" immediate
admission of California and New Mexico into the
Union, with Constitutions prohibiting Slavery! 80
For proof of this see the Communication in another
column of " A Western Man," and the article Civ
ing an account of TIE discussion at Marion from the
Mountain Banner.
Gov. Manly thus stands side by side, on the Sla-
very question, with Seward and the Frecsocrs of
the North! 1t was not enough for him to strike at
the basis of representation in the Legislature but he
must deliberately propose to yield up the common
Territories to the enemies of Southern rights! Un-
der these circumstances, Gov. Manly's reelection
would be hailed as Freesoil, ABOLITION TIL
umph.
We have unquestionable authority for these facts.
and we challenge Gov. Manly lis friends here to
deny them.

The vote thus far is about 96,000-the
counties to near from will not raise il 1000
higher. AT the time Pratt and Carroll
ran for Governor, the vote in the State
was 1890; SO it appears, that not half
the voters of the State by 10000 voted at
the late election. This may serve to show
how much the people felt themselves to
be suffering from the want Of a new Con-
stitution. Notwithstanding all the hum
bug OF years and the extra efforts Of dema-
gogues, only two thirds OF half vote
could be polled. Very well, we shall
hope, that although the matter will thus
be forced on the State, il may prove bene-
fetal.
The Convention Bill provides that ii a
majority of the legal voters "ot the State
are in favor of a call of a convention, then
the Governor shall issue his proclamation
ordering an election" Some have sup
posed that il would thus require ma jor'ty
of the highest number who voted at any
preceding election; but, although it is
certain there are nearly, or quite, three
times the number of voters in the State as
signifed by the election on the 9Th inst,
yet, legally, we presume, the number OF
legal voters IN a state on the day of any
given election, are the number who chose
to exercise the privilege Of voting at that
time

"A COUNTRY Beauty IN AN OMNlEus.-|
Let us tell a little instance OF GOODNESS
in one OF those country ladies which we
witnessed in an omnibus the other day..
She was excessively pretty, and, in her
mouth (the dimplesat the corners which
were so deep and so turned IN like in
yertcd commas, that her lips looked like
a quota.ion,) she carried the fatal sin
pence doomed to pass from the warm
bliss OF that rosy pressure to the cold
change box on the top. Arriving oppo-
site the tabernacle, she pulled the string,
took the piece Of silver from her mouth,
and gave it to young man sitting oppo-
site. He received 1t politely. but, as the
omnibus was minute or SO in coming to
stand still, she had time to observe that
he admlring'y placed the moist sixppnce
within his own lips, and took less mag
nel,zed one from his own pocket to throw
away on the driver. There was sup
pressed smile among the other passcn-
gers but the lady was not to be complI.
menied SO promiscuousIy. M'lI trouble
you for my sIxpence, sir'' she said, hold
ing out her hand with its green emit

srd it up herself, and looked round re-
bukingly as she went out, on those Of US

of the yellow leverat Rio on board the

Letters from officers of the Marion, be-
longing in this place, have been eeeived
as late as the evening Of the 18th of
March, when that ship was in the harbor
OF RIO with not a single case OF fever on
board, and was to sail on her voyage in a
few hours. Ofthe Lexington. these let
tiers mention few cases Of fever, but
speak OF the patients as convalescent, and
of no case proving fatal 1t is more than

The CHoLERA.-Accounts from the

that the cholera exists there and is increas-
ing. Cases are also occurring, scattered
here and there over the country. These
things betoken that that scourge may al
flct the land again this Summer. Resort
should therefore again be had to the pre-
ventatives which in other seasons seemed
10 prove efectual. Excuses should be
guarded against, cleanliness should be OBJ
served, cellars should be kept dry and
aired, filth should not be allowed to &C

ings, and general care should be taken
to guard the health. But above all, let
no one resort to the use of brandy as a
cholera preventatlve-it was more fatal
before than the plague itself. 1t has been
remarked that the cholera, the first year
OF its visits to country, attacks more
generally, the squalid, debauched, and
those whose health has been broken by
excess, or those whom it finds debilitated
by sickness, and that in subsequent visits,
it is more apt 10 commit its ravages among
