"Gov. Manly desires you to insert the following
additional appointments:

The Governor is much grieved that the Committee
of Safety of Greenvlie and Spartanbug have refused
him their Court Houses the ground that he is not
true Southern man. He is therefore forced to 60
into the country. He hopes some Of his Rutherford

the many little low schemes of eectioneerng resort
ed to by Gov. Manly, is charge against MIR. Reid
of having voted for law to sell and whip poor white
men TO. debt; but when the matter is explained it
only turns out that he voted against the repeal Of
law providing that worthless, lazy persons. wander
ing about the country without any honest means of
acquiring livelihood. and corrup!ing the morals Of
society, should be imprisoned, and then hired out to
those who would make them work. Mr.. Reid voted
against the repeal of the ragro, law, but to those
who charge him with having voted for law 10 sell

THE SCHOOL FUND.

We again call the attention Of our readers to the
fact, that Gov. Manly DOES NOT DENY that
he is in favor of altering the mode by which the
School Fund is at present distributed, aud of divd-
ing it according to white population. This Fund
was raised according to Federal population, three
ifths of the negroes being counted and If called
upon to refund that portion Of it which received
from the General Government, OcF we should have
to pay it back in the same way, and the negroes
would be largely taxed to do it. 10
If Gov. Manly's wishes in this respect should
prevail, the Counties of Wake, Johnston, Nash,
Edgecombe, Franklin, Warren, and others ,ha, might
be named, would at once lose thousands of dollars
they are now receiving; and this money would 90
to Counties that do not pay than half the taxes
Of those mentioned above, while the principle that
would be thus established might be the entering
wedge for destroying the present basis of the Senate
and the Commons.
Gov. Manly said at Salem, that the people of the
wealthy saveholding Counties Of the East -
were able TO send their children abroad to school
and that by Col. Reid's vote to divide the School
Fund according to Federal population, the poor chill
dren of the West had 6 lost thousands of dollars
annually which they ought to have received. ,1
For proof Of this, see account in the Greensboroug
Patriot, copied into the Raleigh Star Of the 10th and
the Register of the 18th instant. THESE ARE
FACTS. which neither Gov. Manly nor his parti.
zans in this City will dare deny.
Let every man who may sec this article before
voting, remember these facts when he goes to the
polls. : - -

A FEW MORE WORDS !

~ A FEW MORE WORDS
We appeal once more to every Democrat
who may see this paper before the election,
to be sure to GO TO THE POLLS and
vote for DAVID S. REID. Our informa-
ton, from all parts of the State, enables us
to say with the utmost confidence and cer-
tainty, that COL Reid must and aoiU triumph,
provided the Democrats every where do their
duty. Every vote will be needed, and there
fore let every vote be polled. Let nothing
prevent you from going to the election but
go yourselves, and take the REID men along
with you. Work when you get there
acork, acOrk, aoork, gallant brothers in the
good cause, for the omens are bright and a
glorious victory awaits you.
For the first time i'll fourteen years you
have reasonable and well-grounded CON-
FIDENCE. You have faith, and that is
half the battle. Wek,nou what you can do;
and, as one Of you, we tell you NOW Is
THE TIME! The handwriting against
Federalism is already cleaning ON the wall,
and its day of doom is here. DO YOUR
DUTY on Thursday next, and you will
bury "Cliqueism," sectionalisn, Federal
ism, and Abolitionsln in one common grave :;
and over all will float, amid the congratula-
tions and the shouts of thousands, the spot
less banner of REID and VICTORY.
REMEMBER, friends Of Southern rights, Mat
Gov. Manly has declared himself at Marion and else
where in the West EY- IS in favor of the immediate
admission of California and New Mexico as States,
with Constitutions prohibiting Slavery! Ia We
make the statement unquestonable authority, and
we are responsible for the fact.
And now what ground is this but the ground occu-
pied by Giddings, Hale, and Seward Are the peo-
pie of North Carolina with Gov. Manly on this SUBJ
Tending their just rights involved in this Slavery
question but let them bow down at once, and re-
cieve the yoke and the lash the hands of Northern
aggression and Freesoil arrogance.
On this subjec, COL. REID is SOUND. He
has uniformly avowed himself in favor of keeping
out these upstart sovefeignties, until justice is done
to the South the Slavery question; and he would
keep them out indefinitely, rather than see them ad-
mitted the expense of rights and interests, and
in defiance of earnest warnings and emons,rances.
Charles Manly's reelection, therefore, - will be
the triumph of the cause of California and New
Mexico in North Carolina, and will be hailed in all
the free States Freeso victory in the very bosom
of the Southern States. 30 Remember that, slave
holders of North Carolina, when you go up to the
ballot-box to deposit your votes.

Let our readers bear in mind that, in advocating
change in tie basis Of representation, Manly is astrids
Of the avorte hobby Of exest northern abolition
lists; for their loudest complaints are against the
Southern basis Of representation in Congress and if
it should be changed in regard to the State Legisla
ture, it would be hut the work Of moment to effect
the change in Congress- and then in the first act Of
that body, the South would read her doom! Be-
ware. beware, BewAsE Of Charles Manly!

"CRUEL. CRUEL" GOV. MANLY!
We learn from our " Western Correspondent, as
we'll as from the Rutherfordton Banner, that Gov

silence in the next and the next moment disorn'ng
