HON. CALVIN GRayEs-TnE UNION
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.
MEssRs. EprroRs: As citizens of Or
ange county. having a strong attach
ment TO the Union aud the constitution,
though differing. as We do. upon ques-
tons ofparty politics--s0me ofus being
Wings and some Demoerats-we beg
permission 10 express. through your
paper, our hearty concurrence in the
proposition TO run the Hon. CALVIN
GRAVES. Of Caswell. as the Union can
didate for Congress in this District.
We are willing 10 lay aside, for the
present. all party questions, and unite
together in an eliort TO sustain the
Union and we know Of no man in the
district whose character. both public
aud private, better entities him 10 the
confidence and respect Of his fellow
citizens, and upon whom the friends Of
the Union can rally more cordially in
this crisis. than the Hon. Calvin Graves.
We send this greeting then to the Onion
men in all the counties throughout the
district. Let us begin at once to make
vigorous efforts TO secure the election
Of Mr.. Graves. Ii we cannot make a
long pull, we can make -. strong pull
and pull all together" and the thing
will be accomplished.
Bear in mind that Mr.. Venable was
originally NulIifer. which We could
excuse, had he shown no other Disunion
tendencies. But he has since favored
the Nashville Convention Disuni"n
association and now advocates the
right Of secession. And perhaps It is
not too much TO say, (!rum his intimacy
with Mr.. alhoun and his great almi-
ration for the man and his principles,
that he doubtless favors the scheme ol
dissol,ing the Union and farming
Southern { onfederscy-a scheme which
Gen, Font. the Senator from Mlsslssip'
pi, saws was on foot; and he also say
that Mr.. Calhoun actually had the con
stitution for such coniederacy draw
up. With such facts before us, can we
as patriots, as lovers Of the Union
hesitate to use every honorable eitor
to defeat Mr.. vcnable, and TO elect
representative who will frown upol
every attempt TO dissolve this Union
rendered dear by so many hallowe'
associations, aud BY the sure protection
it affords against all external enemies
No; as Union men, we pledge ourselve
to cooperate cordially with the . DE
mocratic Voters in Caswell, and al
the Union men III the District, in al
effort to elect the Hon. Calvin Grave
to Congress.
Rally, then, to the polls on the 9Th 9
August, and voc for Calvin Graves. II
is " capable, honest, and tai htia 10 "a
Constitution" Such are the sentiment
aud such is the determination of
Il MANY VINO AND DEMOCRATIC
VOTERS OF ORANGE.

The New Costume.

AIRS. Swisshelm, in the Pi,lsburg Satur-
day V'siter, gives The following opinion of
the new dress:
eve never though: dress OF SO much
importance as to DC worth any great net of
moral heroism. We would not subject
onrseit 10 the rude gaze of mob on the
street, or The insocncc Of ruffians or boys
for any Thing less than the salvation Of a
soul. No dress could he comfortable or
convenient 10 US which would gather half
dozen OF boys 10 stare Mt us. We should
never thlnk OF being martyr for such
sHght cause as the pattern OF naw frocks
nor have we any need 10 be so, for neither
health nor convenience requires it. Co.
dcy, Graham, and Sartain could not get up,
| a fashion that we could not. in five minutes,
arrange into comfortable, convenient,
heaithiul costume, without making any.
change which would attract The attention OF
casual observer. Very few will notice
that dress lacks two. three or four inch-
cs 0i touching The pavement when tue
weaTer walks, yet this saves the nastiness
OF strect-sweeping. Very few will obs
serve that hoddicc, instead of being made
IN the form OF an hour glass, has the natur-
al curves OF human form, and is wide en-
ohgh 10 admit tull breathing yet this effect.
ually does away with all unhealthiness and
inconvenience. We can walk, and climb,
and dance with more case and freedom in a
whalehoncd bodice than any loose sack,
simply because we make the bodice to fit
the waist instead Of tho waist to fit the.
bodice. Long skirts arc no trouble TO us
because we never have them unnecessarily
heavy, and mako them TO rest upon the
shoulders.
"Those who believe radical change is
necessary TO alter the present absurd, sui>
cidai fashions, and who have the energy to
spare for that purpose deserve all credit for
so cxpending it. Poor human nature is al.
ways prone 10 extremes, and very likely tho
most etiectnal way ofpersuading women To-
quit sweeping streets with their skirts is to-
cut them of at the knee; but in our mind
the dress is associated with IDEAS of juven.
iiity, and i, will take some time to make us
feel that a woman who l,as reached middle.
life would not look badly in it, Long,
loose skirts are ns intimately connected ia.
our mind with womanhood, MS gowns and
wigs in tho mind of an Englishman, with a
court of ofjnstice.H

not, but are always ready ut their posts in
