NOVV'S the time---ROl up the Votes!
David S. Reid received in 1850 the largest vote
ever cast for any man in this State with the excep-
ton of that cast for Gen. Harrison in 1910. Gen.
Harrison received 1876, beating Mr.. Van Buren
1854 votes; and Gov. Reid received in 1850,
44,845, being only fifteen hundred and thirty y-one
less than Gen. Harrisons vote. His majority over
Gov. Manly was 2,774 and he got in 1850, 3,163
more votes than were cast for him in 1S48. Mr..
Clay received, in 1874, 45,252 votes, but 1,161
more than Gov. Manly got in 1850.
We look for large addition to Gov. Reid's vote
in this election We calculate that he will 60 even
beyond Gen. Harrison's vote in 1910, to wit, 49,
376 and so if his friends are true to him, we
believe they will be in all portions of the State,
can give Mr.. Kerr the vote Mr.. Clay got in 1874
though we have no idea he can getit-and still
defeat him by larger majority than that thrown
against Gov. Manly. Gov. Reid has way of an
creasing his vote which is most gratifying to his
friends, and by no means pleasing to his opponents.
Thus, he was elected to Congress in 1843, by some
$50 majority, and reelected in 1s45 by $50 ma
jorty; and thus, as we have already stated, ne
polled more votes for Governor in 1850, by 3,163,
than he did in 1848. He thus grows in popularity
as he grows in useful ness and it is marked fact
that where he is best known he gains most in pro-
portion, at the ballot-box.
But we can talk of absolute certainties only after
the election. The adversary is desperate, full Of
craft and cunning, and will leave no means untried
to defeat our candidate we must, therefore, oUork
If aoe acould aCin.
Wehave just been examining the official votes of
the State from 1874 to 1850; and we find what
are bound to say has surprised us, and that is,
there are at least twelve Counties which gave Gov.
Reid in 1850, less vote than they cast for Mr..

The Employees of the Administration
i'm the field against the Democracy y
and David 6, Reid!

We learn, on the best authority, that numbers
of the employees of the Administration those
who eat bread from the Public Treasury-have
come to this State to electioneer for John Kerr
and Wing Assembly. The Navy Department
especially is said to have done its full share in this
respect.
Messrs. Graham, Mangum, Seward, Morehead,
Stanly, and other Wing leaders in Washington, no
doubt feel and know that much, very much de-
pends upon the result of the elections in this State.
If the State should 60 for the Democracy it will
throw damper upon Scottish generally, but if for
Kerr and Federalism it will be hailed in all quar-
ters an auspcious sign of Federal success in
November. In other words, North Carolina IS
mo,c the battle-ground of the Union and such
being the case, the Seward forces are in the field
against the people! ...
Freemen of North Carolina will you endure
patiently such treatment? Are you to be aoorked
upon by Federal emissaries and influenced to vote
to build up Seward and his gang! Never! That
game cannot yet be successfully played in old
North Carolina.
The fact that these employees were erpected in
this State, accounts for the late article in the Reg
lister so bitterly denunciatory of Judge Douglas,
who came to Richmond to make a Speech, but
who was charged with an intention Of coming here
to address the people. The Register cried "woff y
merely as blind and to put the people off their
guard as to Whig intentions in this respect. The
expected emissaries have arrived, and are now at
work. Watch them mark them, drive them from
the State If these hirelngs dare approach you,
fellow-citizens, to electoneer, brand them they
deserve-point them out in the crowd-set the
boys after them with groans, Kisses, and tin-pans-
in other words, make the public places where free
men are assembled to talk over their affairs,
too hot to hold them. We are not afraid of the
truth-we court it for our cause, knowing that the
more it is investigated the better it will appear
but this is no time to tolerate the intermeddling
to endure the falsehoods and the ISLANDERS of Fed
eral hirelings. ..-....... ......
P S. We learn that Alfred Dockery is in
Richmond County, no doubt operating for Kerr
and the Seward cause. High times, when mem
Der of Congress comes home on So per day to
electioneer for party schemes and party aims! We
learn that Gen. Dockery says Gen. Scott did more
to pass the I" compromise" than Mr.. Fillmore, and
that Gen. Pierce is fifty times more unsound upon
Slavery than Gen. Scott is

in the State. Every freeholder who owns fifty
acres of land votes in the Senate; and he casts
but one vote no matter how much land he may
own-fty acres of land are, therefore, represented
by each feeholder's vote 10000 multiplied by so,

State, bat taOo millions of (according to
the principle as held by the opponents of Free
Sufrage,) actually represented at the 6allot-6or.
No wonder our friend complains, and talks of claim
ing his taOe,aty votes We hold these advocates of
matter; and call upon them either to carry it out
or give up their opposition to Free Suffrage.
Two millions of acres of land represented out of
twenty-three millions and yet we are told by Mr..
Kerr's home organ, the Milton Chronicle, that if
nonlandhoders permitted to vote in the Senate,
all protection to property" will be stricken down,
and the landholder will be left to the tender
cy of loafers and naga6omds"! Is land the only
property" in the countrys Are the landholders
to be allowed to control, as they now do substan-
TALLY, both branches of the Assembly?
No, gentlemen, we can tell you where your per-
sons and your "property" are both protected !;
they protected by the basis of representation IN
the tsUo Houses, which the Democrats of North
Carolina are standing by and upholdng, to man.
Here is your stronghold. Free Suffrage will not
affect the basis in either branch, to carry out
more fully the principle which the Senate is ap-
portioned; for as Senators apportioned accord
Ing to the taxes paid into the Public Treasury by
all citizens, non-landholders well landhol-
ders, ought all citizens to be admitted to the
right to vote for Senators.

Here are 641 votes less for Reid in 1850, than
were thrown for Polk in 1914. Cannot these
Counties do better? We know they can, and we
believe they s0i. Friends, this is the most impor
tant election which has been held in this State for
twenty years; great results are suspended upon it,
and unless we all do our duty, we may fail. Gov.
Reid is doing has duty, manfully, ably, faithfully {;
he cannot and speak to all IF you but his pure
character his sterling Democracy, and his success
full administration of State affairs must speak for
him and commend him to your support. You have
called him to the feld-stand by him, defend him,
work for him. roll in the votes for him and for the
noble cause of which he is at once the embodiment
and advocate.
By the way, Beaufort County gave Gov. Reid,
in 1850, but ten more votes than she gave MIR
Polk in 1914 and we may we'll say to our
friends that the Whig leaders here are making
large calculations on gains in Beaufort, Hyde,
Washington, and Rutherford. Let us disappoint
them. If we lose few votes in one County, let
us make up the loss elsewhere but remember, WE
MUST WORK IF WE WOULD TRIUMPH.

Free suffrage--Read and Reflect

A friend at our elbow suggests that he is the
owner of one thousand acres of land; and that if
Mr.. Kerr and the Wing leaders will not consent
that the non-landholders shall have the privilege
which he is willing to extend to them, of voting in
the Senate, he shall insist upon falling back upon
the freehold principle as 1t u.s. and upon carrying
it out in earnest. He argues thus: I own fifty
acres of land-wen, that is good for one vote; but
own nine hundred and fifty acres besides, and
insist according to the principle that land must be
represented and have erclus;ve protection in one
branch of the Assembly, that I ought to be per-
zaitted to cast tventy votes" What will the advo-
oates of exclusive privileges say to that!
There are in this State 2s, ,7e9, 100 acres of land
listed and taxed and there are 10000 freeholders

The institution of Slavery can be abolished in
this State only by the people in Convention and
Convention, according to the Constitution itself,
can be called only by a two-thirds vote. This is
what the Constitution says, and this is the doctrine
of the Democratic party. But Mr. Kerr says that
if a majority of the people are in favor of Con-
vention, it is the duty Of the Assembly to call it;
and that the member who should, under such cir
cumstances, vote against Convention, would be
" an aristocrat and no republican" This is what
Mr.. Kerr says, and it is what those who may vote
for him will say also. Let run this doctrine out
If a Convention can be called for one purpose it
can be called for any and all purposes whatsoever;
and if majority can thus, Mr.. Kerr claims for
them, change the basis of representation in the
Senate, the same majority can, in their own good
time, also abolish Slavery! mot this so' What
is to prevent them?

provided for its amendment by legislative enactment,
and MreeJfhs of both houses Of the last General As
semby having voted for the measure of Free Suffrage,
we are in favor of rearming by the next General
Assembly, and of its subsequent approval by the peo
pie, so as to make it part of said Constitution.

Again: What is the two-thirds check in the
Constitution worth, if bare majority can force or
influence, or induce the Legislature to give that
votes A majority of five thousand of the whole
people, for instance vote for Convention and that
majority comes from Counties interested in having
the basis changed-are such Counties as BERTHE,
Johnston, Halifax, Hertford, Chowan, to yield to
this decision, or be branded as aristocrats and
no republicans if they refuse to yield? Mr. Kerr
says so, and every man who votes for Mr. Kerr for
Governor willsay thesame thing. But if Mr. Kerr
be right, sohot do you aoia Counties, fellow-cit-
izens? Why not blot them oute If Edgecombe
is to be controlled by Guilford in matters like these
why is Edgecombe to be put to the trouble of elect
ing members to the Assembly? Is she to send up
her members merely to record the will of major
ity against herself and to make that majority
tsOo-thirds to her own vital injury?

CAPTURE OF AN ANunL.

The Berlin correspondent Of the London
Times gives the following as an incident
which occurred lately in Upper Selisia.---
One night there appeared to wealthy wild.
ow messenger from st. Peter surrounded
BY a supernatural glory, and holding in his
hand draft for 100 thalers. payable to bear
err, drawn on her by her late deceased hus-
band, to meet the fees and other expenses at
tcndant on his entry into heaven. The af-
fectionotc widow, anxious to do all honor to
her husbands signature and to facilitate his
entrance into paradise FASTENED to look up
the money, bat as she unfortunately had only
10 thalers by her, was compelled to request
his angelship would call again tomorrow for
the balance The clergyman Of the place. on
being consulted the next day, prevailed on
the widow to allow him and the magistrate to
witness the payment, SO that when the hcav-
emily messenger appeared again according to
appointment, he was roughly seized by pro-
fame hands and incarcerated; but the stran.
gest part of all is that the next morning his
prison was found empty and his mode Of es-
cape remains secret.
