FRrE SUFFRAGE. Well do the people of this State
know, that in the last Elections, IN this State,
the Wings opposed Free Suffrage, while the Demo
Gratis were in favor of it. DAVID s. REID, the De
mocratic Candidate for Governor, and the Democrat
ic Candidates for the Legislature, ADVOCATED it before
the people, while Charles Manly, the Wing Candi
date for Governor and the Wing Candidates for the
Legislature took strong ground against it.. Il was
voted for by the Democratic members of the Lees-
la,ure. and voted against by the Whig members And
it is through the ins.rumentalisy Of the Democratic
party of the State of North Carolina. that i, is
submitted to the people. If suficien. number of
Democrats should be returned to the next Legislature,
Free Suffrage will move still onward, and in all pro-
babiIity, will eventually become law. The Demo
cratic party committed in favor Of Free Suffrage
while the Wing party are committed against it. So
it will be seen, that Free Suffrage is Democratic
measure. -.-.t -'
If the people want Free Suffrage. in the approach
ing Elections, they will have to vote for DeG
who are in favor Of it. majority of the people o.
the State in favor of the measure-a majority o
the people of Halifax County in favor OF it, and

YANCEY COUNTY.


We learn that J. B. JrRvIs. Esq.,. will be a candi-
date to represent Yancey County in the mex: House
of Commons. MI. JERvIs 10 young gentleman Of
talents, selfmade, and Democratic Republican of
the true stripe,
We hope the Democrats of Yancey will rouse
themselves unite, and be elect Democrat to
represent them in the Legislature. The Federal
lists will lose no opportunity divide them;
but let them stand by their principles, and all will be
well. Let them remember that they lost the Com
moner some years since, on account Of divisions and
the secret Vaccinations of their opponents; and that
this result had No slight agency in elect'ng Mr..
Badger to the Senate. The Democrats Of Yancey
have the strength and all that is necessary in order
to secure victory, is to put that strength forth.
So far az the Senator from the Bnncombe District
is concerned we have doubt the Democrats of Yam
cey will sustain that candidate who nearest to
an advocacy of their principles, and who is most de-
voted to the Constitutional rights Of the States.
The Washington Correspondent, =" Independent -
of the Philadelphia North American. says:

that Gen. Scott, under condition Of cIrcumstan-
ces, will change the ground which he has occupied

The Free Democracy, of Worcester, assembled
at Warren Hall, last evening, for the purpose OF
nominating candidates to represent this city in
the next General Court, and voted to propose to
the Democratic party the nomination OF Union
ticket, upon the basis adopted in therecont Coun-
ty Conventions of the two parties, each party to
nominate its own candidates without reference
to the other.
A committee of three from each ward, was APP
pointed to make the nominations, who shortly re-
ported the following gentlemen as candidates,
viz: Charles White, Eli Thayer, and II. W.
Benchley, which report was unanimously adopted
Shortly afterwards, committee from the Demo-
cratic Caucus, reported that that body had voted
unanimously to unite with the Free Democracy
in Union Ticket for Representatives, and at a
later hour in the meeting, committee from the
Democratic Caucus, reported that that party had
nominated George w. Gill, and Edward Lamb,
as their candidates to be placed upon the Union
Ticket.
The Chairman of the meeting was instructed
to inform Messrs White, Thayer, and Benchley
of the action of the meeting, and nvne their &C
ceptance of the nominations; and in case any de-
clined, to inform the nominating committee, who
should then convene, and fill the vacancies, and
report the same at an adjourned meeting, to he
held on Saturday evening.

For Representative to Congress, -9h District
ALEXANDER Dewitt, of oxford.
r. w. KELLOGG, Esq,
Will address The citizens of
Holden, Friday, November 5.
Alexander De Witt.

Col. De Witt is so we'll known by the people of
this Diatrict, and is so justly popular that, to
say aword in favor of his election to Congress,
seems almost an act of supererogation. Yet
there are some newly come among us, to whom,
perhaps, it may be proper to say, that he is
practical manufacturer, extensively engaged in
the business, and, as manufacturer and business
man has no superiors in this community For
several years, he has been Senator in our State
Legislature where he distinguished himself a
sound, practical legislator, thoroughly acquainted
with the interests of his constituents and the peo-
pie, and always prompt to sustain them. The
large vote given him, always running ahead of
his ticket shows the appreciation in which his
services were held by the voters of this county.
In Congress, Col. De Witt will prove one of the
most useful members from this State. We feel no
hesitation in saying, that no Wing member of the
present delegation viii compare with him for gem
era ability, and for the kind of knowledge requi-
site for the proper discharge of the duties of
representative With his Wing opponent, there
is, fortunately, no occasion for subjecting. Judge
Barton to a comparison, as it is well understood
that he was nominated, merely as a candidate on
whom votes might be thrown away, being at the
time, and in fact for long time previous, and up
to this time, an invalid, confined to his house,
and, we regret to say, without any reasonable
prospect of being able, very soon, again, to do
any active business. AT the time of the Balti-
more Convention, though in the city, he was un
able to Sttend the meetings and so far as we learn
ed from his report on his return, the only service
performed by him on that occasion, was, the ex-
animation of the platform, and advising his sub
stitute to sustain it, with its endorsement of the
Fugitive Slave law, and the denunciation of the
freedom of speech and the press, as ''soUND

How the wings may Garry the state.
The Life Boat, temperance paper in Boston,

vote for Mann and Huntington. Now there would
be no chance for he election of Manu. but Hunting
ton might get enough 10 elect him. The Rummies,
and good part of the Wings, are TO go for Clifford,
and thus he may be elected, and by coalition of the
Wings with the rummies for Governor, and with
the temperance men for Lieut., Governor, the Com
monwealth be favored with a Wing, in each of
those offices. That would be capital That is
the plan, if the Free Sellers are unwse enough to
desert their own candidate for Lit. Governor who,
the Life Boat admits, is "pefe cty reliable temper
ance man.''
But the trick wont succeed. No Free SoiIer will
do any such thing. He will vote for the candidates
Of his party, who not only reliable temperance

ment, that the Free Democracy of the State could
be gulled by any such weak device.

Iy endorsed; yet, with the accustomed lack Of dis
erection, evinced by their leaders, they Learn no wis
dom from their discontinue. They are, now, very
evidently, going to make desperate effort TO regain
power IN this State, by mounting one foot, at least,
upon the liquor horse. Should they, by any possi-
bty, succeed in the coming election, by this ma.
noeuvre as they did in the Presidential election in
1913, by the nomination Of Gen Taylor, it is very
easy to see that the reaction will be more emen-
dous even than it was in that case, and that next
year, their overthrow and humiliation, in the State
election, must be complete, if possible than it
has been this year in the National election. The
work Of decentralization that subserviency to slavery
has commenced, the party, will thus be complete
ed by its alliance with rum and its history will stand
a warning to all future parties, who tempted

UNCLE Tom IN GERMANY.-The Augsburg
AUgemei1se Zcitung, the leading paper of Ger
many, has long review of Uncle Toms Cabin,
bestowing it the highest praise. We trans
late few paragraphs from it,
''For long time, says the writer, eve have
not read a book that has affected us deeply, or
so continuously enchanted our interest. This
nance deserves the immense popularity 1t has at
tanned in two hemispheres in Europe well as
America for it is drawn from the life, and touches
the most vital chords in the readers soul
There are questions of principle before whose
iron truth all the so-called practical petty views
which the narrowness and materialism of the age
make so great parade of, shrink into silence.
Such a question of principle is that OF negro
emancipation in America. 1t is so great disgrace
to humanity, that among people who call them
selves Chrstian and civilized, and III a confedera-
ton which so often sets itselfup as a model for
the States of old Europe, there should be hun
dreds of thousands of human oelngS roDoed OF
every right OF man, subject tho most brutal
caprice, and without circumlocution or disguise,
treated as mere things and merchandise this,
we say is so immense disgrace that the State
polluted by it, and which protects 1t, cherlshes 1t
by laws and institutions sanctioned by republican
representatives OF the people, thereby necessarily
dyests itself in the eyes of all other peoples of
the right to say anything whatever concerning the
hottest interests of nations. So long as the N.
American Union numbers in its confederation
States where are publicly sold to the highest
bidder, and where, for the sake of miserable
greed, children are torn from the arms of their
mothers, and wives from the hearts of their hus-
bands, and sold into the hands Of some rich plant
er--so long as in these States the whip is the
means of governing whole unhappy and despis-
ed brother race, long should the glorious
Union refrain from all ideas ofnteryention from
all Republican propaganda.
''We must at last part from Mrs. Stowe and
her book. We confess, that in the whole modern
romance literature of Germany, England, and
France, we know of no novel to be called equal
to this. In comparison with this glowing elo-
quence, that never fails of its purpose, this
derful truth to nature, the largeness of these
ideas, and the artistic fautlessness of the ma
chinery in this book, George Slnd with her Spi,-
