| Our respected contemporary and coadiutor Of the
Raleigh Standard is mistaken in declaring that this
journal has announced the of the w hig party
in the Congressional elections of North Carolina,
the success of the Union tcket.'' He has not on
y fallen into mistake, but he has done us grievous
Injustice in surprising and seeming intimate, that
we look upon the w ig party the Union party OF
the South and the Democratic Candidates of North
Carolina as disunionists. He says rightly what we
have said not merely the twentieth time, but twenty
times the twentieth, that they only unonists who
seek to preserve the Constitution unmPaired, and
they only disunioniss who disregard and tram
pie upon its limitations of Federal authority.
II is burIesque to call the Wing party the Union
party.
What sort of Union party is that which has to
mount the back of Freesoilism every where at the
North get along at all and which is almost every
where repudiated at the South; which aids freesol-
ism necessarily in its war upon the Constitution, and
pours out unceasng deraction and obloquy upon the
Southern defenders of that instrument; which is i'm
potent as well to curb the North in its war upon the
Union, as to rally the South to its support? Potent
Union-saviours indeed they, who are unable to
stand upon their own legs any where and who scru-
pie call to their support all the ncendiary fac
tons and destructive agencies which the land con-
tains. The notion of the Wing party, saving the
Union, is preposterous the means they adopt
for accomplishing the work. 1t has got to be like
their National Bank bantling-ss an obsolete idea."
The preenson which they exhibit on this score is be-
subject of joke and derison. They are Union
savours in the same in which the Knight of
La Mancha was wr0ng-redresser, choosing the modes
OF efectng their object with much sagacity, and
as unerrngly damaging and abusing what they pre-
tend to assist; the difference being, only that he was
more fool than knave. Richmond ENQUIRER
The Enquirer,it is true, did announce Edifori-
ally that the " U MON ticke' had succeeded in this
State for Congress but we not mistaken in the
statement that the result announced in that pa
PEI. The announcement was made as matter of
news, and was evidently Telegraphic despatch from
some Wing paper, for which, of course, the Enquirer
is not to blame.
If we have done that paper injustice, we regret it
and have most cheerfully copied the above to set
it right.
We are, then, with that paper, not only as far as
Democratic principles concerned, but also in re-
lation TO the Union-humbug party 1t is not neces-
sary that we should that tImeonored journal
that it has best wishes in the warfare tbs wagng
against Consolidation, and against the latest trick of
the Wing leaders to advance their own selfish ends

The FIRE ANNIHILAToR In the Courier of the
10th inst. we stated the authority of letter
emanating from the gentleman himself that appeared
in the Rutherfordton, N. c.. Mountain Banner, that
DR.. w. A. Graham of North Carolina had claimed
the honor of having been the first make the discov
cry how to apply practically carbonic gas to extin-
lions and caveat relative the invention had been
as November, 1887, which still remain there. although
patent had been refused on account of doubts ex-
isting as to it's being capable of being carried into
effect. correspondent OF the Washington National
Itegencer has taken the trouble to ascertain, far
as the rules of the Patent Office would permit, the
truth of DR.. Graham's statement and finds it to be
correct. caveat was filed, and is in the ar
chives of the Office. He fears, however. that the
original motive for refusing patent would be OF
even more validity now than when first made. In
the first place, because carbonc acid gas was known
long prior to 1887, 10 be Incapable of supporting
either combustion or NAL life, and secondly. be-
cause in an unmixed state it must be open to the OBJ
iecton of being too heavy, and thus having always
a tendency to fall to the bottom of room, and so
much the more as the air in the is rarer from
heat. Hence conaagration might go vigorously on
above the upper of the injected carbonc acid
pas whilst in certain circumstances demanding their
presence in a burning building, hremen would be
in danger of suffocation from the gas itself. Thus,
in such cases. it would not only be inefficient against
the fire. hut be destructive those employed in put
ting it out: whereas Mr.. Philips gas appears. from
the various testimony he has read the subject, to
be free from all these weighty objections.
