ANOTHER FALSEHOOD EXPOSED!
We learn from the Raleigh Times that the Fay
ettevlle Observer of Tuesday last contains the fol-
lowing:
1t is believed by many in these parts, that the
original communication in the Standard, charging
Mr.. Kerr with changing his ground at Greensboro,
was written or dictated by Governor Reid. The pub
lie should know who is the author. II Gov. Reid,
the fact, taken in connection with his failure make
any such charge to Mr. Kerr's face, should sink him
to an namy from which there would be no political
resurrection"
In addition to this the Times publishes Commu-
nication from Greensborough. signed "a Citizen,'
in which an attempt is made to produce the impress
sion that Gov. Reid wrote the Communication referr.
ed to, signed " A Democrat" giving account Of
this discussion.
We come forward at once to stamp this charge as
false. Gov. Reid neither wrote the Communication
referred to, nor had he, as We feel confident, any
knowledge of its contents. The Communication is
not in his hand writing, any gentleman who choos
es to examine it for HIMSELF by calling at
Office. The name of the author is in possession
and We repeat, Gov. Reid is NOT the author.
So this charge, brought forward by unprincpled
men for base purposes, is also exploded.
We again caution the people against falsehoods
and ISLANDERS. put forth by Wing leaders and Wing
presses on the eve of the election.

THE STATES CREDIT, PROSPERITY, g.

THE STATES CREDIT, PROSPERITY, &c.
The credit of the State has never been be,ter-we
might with strict truth, say never has been so good
as it is now under Democratic auspices. The pres
ent Administration, with David s. Reid at its head,
came into power at period Of much difficulty large
amounts of money had been voted by the Assembly
for works Of Internal Improvement, and this money
had to be raised by loans and these works carried
forward to completion. What has been the result
Under the prudent and efficient management Of the
State Treasurer Mr.. Courts, the required sums have
been raised without difficulty considerable portion
[$lOO,0OO) of the public debt has been paid of as
it fell due-heavy premiums have been obtained upon
loans and in addition to this, all the public works
have gone forward in the most gratifying manner Nc
interest has suffered under the Administration OF Gov
Reid, but the CONTRARY all have prosPered. tie has
fully redeemed, thus far, every pledge he made to the
people before his election and judging ro the past
we have every assurance that the State will continue
to advance and prosper under his Administration
And yet what do we hear! Why, that he must b
turned out to make room for bitter par.zan-for
gentleman who has had no actual experience in pub
lie affairs-who has never held Office of any sor
in his lfe either the hands of the people or thel
representatives.! What proposition is that! viii
the people Try The experiment? Will they throw ava!
certainty for an uncertainty! Will they discard
faithful and tried public servant for one ,oho has ,eve
been tried?

The MAN OF THE People. The man addressing
the people with SO much simplicity, straightforward
ness, directness and force the man with honesty
marked upon his countenance, and with almost Sc
verify of expression in his features. as if it bespoke
the earnestness of his heart, the correctness Of his
course. He is here to-day and somewhere else to-
morrow, telling home truths in homely manner. and
everywhere leaving thoughts for reflection, and words
that the people will not willingly let die: The peo-
ple call him the deep man in contradisnction TO
the vapid man, the man of stale jokes and college
eIoquence-he man that assumes antics for argument
and cIownsh gestures fer killing replies
The deep man. the sincere thinker, the earnest
advocate of constitutional reform in constitutional
manner-such is Governor David S. Reid.

JOHN .KERR'S TWO FACES.

'fhe Asheville News, noticing the charge that it
had done injustice to Mr.. Kerr, says: ......- .s
s" We never, intentionally, did any man injustice.
We do not think Mr.. kerr's positions have been
unfairly stated, but it he show tina, they have
been will most cheerfully give him the full bene-
fit of the denial. But mark ye, 70 IF Mr.. Kerr
denies the positions we have attributed to him, We
shall that the lie rests just where it beongs-upon
the Raleigh Register and the Newherniaa, two of the
gentleman's friends and advocates! for we defy any
man on earth to prove that we Lave attributed one
sentiment 10 him which was not promulgated by these
two papers!' ..
The Newbernian Of the sth of June stated that Mr..
kerr in his speech in Newbern, declared in express
terms that he no, for Convention, as the fol-
lowing extract will show-and this is what the News
no doubt aIludes to-:
"We that the Rep. s. P..t states that Mr.
Kerr is the advocate of open, unrestricted Conven-
KNOW, FOR WE HEARD 1T, tha, in his speech
in New Berne the 25th ult.. Mr.. Kerr said, in
express terms, that HE DID NOT ADVOCATE
A CONVENTION. Is it likely that in Elizabeth
City, where such a stand would have done him more
injury than here, that he should have advocated
open Convention and declared within a week or
less here, that he DID NOT advocate Convention
| Of any kind!"
| Now let see what Mr. Kerr said in Green's
borough. The Greensbo,osgh Patriot of the 10th
Instant in its sketch of MI Kerr's remarks at that
place the 29th June, says:
Mr.. Kerr most distinctly declared himself
| tor Convention called according to ,he provisions
of the Constitution; but insisted that the uOce the
majority would and ought to secure the constitution
al number of the Assembly to effect itthat this was
the true REPUBLICAN doctrine" eI

portion of The State trust him?

SENATOR DOUGLAS SPEECH. We give up most
of our space to-day 10 this admirable speech, which
met with such hearty appreciation and is so highly
received at Washington that the Democratic Com
mittee there have ordered $4,000 copies of ito be
printed and circulated. With masters hand it tears
away the veirwhich covers up the humbuggery Of
politician Scott and exhibits the whole country the
Seward machinery by which the wires are worked.
1t was in vain that Mr.. Bolts, at the Wing meeting
on Friday, raved and fumed in his forciblefeebe at
tempts to impair the effect of this speech. by depre-
cia,ng its author and sneering at his reasoning The
violence Of MIR. BIS assault showed that Senator
Douglas had made centre-shot and Mr.. BIS slur-

THE SCHOOL FUND.

We have heard much from leading Wings about
the Injustice as they allege, of the present mode OIL
distributing the School Fund, and about the poor
barefoot bows :" who are entitled education &c
&c., and who ought to have as much Ct this money
as possible, year by year. Well, what are the facts
Gov. Reid has not talked much about this matter
he has acted. AS President of the Literary Board,
and in conjunction with members Of that b'ard' ne
has divided among the respective Counties, during
his term of service, from twenty-five to thirty thousand
dollars per annun than ,oas erer dskaduted under
Whie Administrations The records of the Board will
show this to be so and in addition to this, interest,
which was due this Fund from the Public Treasury,
and which had remained uncollected under WhIg
Administrations, has been claimed by Gov. Reid, to
the amount of some thirty thousand dollars, and set
apart for distribution among the Counties.
These facts speak for themselves. Whlg leaders
find fault with the present mode of distributing the
School Fund, and promise great things if the people
will only put them in power; but Gov Reid goes to
work to increase the Fund, and TO give the children
of the State the largest distributions possible Tor pu
poses of education.
CIV are now publishing appointments for TIT
candidates for Governor, which terminate at Murphy
Cherokee, on the 4th of August. We learn tha
these appointments were made by Mr.. Kerr wl'hou
consulting Gov. Reid but Gov. Reid thinks it bes
for the cause to continue with Mr Kerr, and it Il
therefore impossible for him to visit portions OF tn
State where his friends would like to see him. H'
friends have heretofore, all occasions, proved ru
to him and to the noble cause he represents and W
are sure he is both ready and willing to in'rust his fat
in this contest to their hands. Though absent, he

struck bv them in behalf of popular rights is respon
