TN. II. Patriot.

G3- In common, with quite a goodly
number of landholdcrs, we enjoyed the
sublime satisfaction on Thursday last, of
casting vote for Senator from Wake
County to the next Assembly. Only
think of that-a free man on the strength
of fifty acres OF land We saw num-
Der of mechanics, merchants and others,
owners of personal property, turned off
few were allowed to vote.--NowA Curoli-
na Standard.
By the above it will be seen that in
North Carolina man must own fifty
acres of land in order to enjoy the prlvi-
lege of voting for a member of the Legis-
lature, The federal candidate for Vice
President, Mr.. Graham, lives in North
Carolina +; he has been Governor of that
State, is II man of great influence there,
and his party has controlled the State for
almost every year for twenty years. Yet
they have not only never made any effort
to remove this restriction upon the righS
of suffrage, but have opposed it, while
the Democracy are openly advocating free
suffrage. In the late election there the
Democrats made that prominent issue,
advocating it everywhere. The Constitu-
ton of North Carolina also contains re-
ligious test which Mr.. Graham and his par
ty have never attempted to remove
Why then do not the federal editors and
the Slievegammon Robinsons denounce
Mr.. Graham on account of these provi-
sions of the Constitution of his State, as
they do General Pierce for those of our
Constitution? He is thousand times
more censurable for these illiberal fea-
lures of the Constitution of North Carroll
ma, than Gen, Pierce is for those of our
Constitution for Mr.. Graham has never
favored the removal of them as Gen.
Pierce has. Federal editors and stump
orators would do we'll to turn their atten-
ton to this matter, before indulging in
further abuse of General Pierce on &C
count of the religious testin the Constitu-
ton of New Hampshire.-N H. Patriot.

Mo,r DGsunACEFUL CoNDvcr,-A pam
phlct copy, entitled A brief chapter in
the life Of General Franklin Pierce" Mr.,
Pierce and the Anti-Slavery movement
was placed in our hands day or two
since by whig, but not Scott Wing
This pamphlet is issued from the Office of
the National Era, nm abolition paper prin-
ted in Washington. 1t is evidently de-
signed forcrculation in n northern latitude,
but has been "wrong shipped" 1t con-
member of Congress, and the Senate, COM
mcncing in 1885. No better evidence of
the soundncss of Gen. Picrce's views on
the delicate questions involved, could be
asked, than the votes given in this docu-
mcnt-they show that he voted with Cal
houn, and went even farther than Mr.. Clay
himself. And yet from this prolific mint,
the Wing committee room, in Washing
ton, is distributing another document,
showing that Gen, Pierce is hostile to the
institutions of the South. ~ holder and
more infamous fraud was never attempted
to be practised upon an intelligent people,
and by men, whose soundness, on the
same issues, to say the least is very ques-
tionable. Look at it, Why was Fill
more and Webster pushed aside What
made them unavailable? We will tell
YOU. 1t was because Of their endorse
ton of the Compromise and adherence to
the Fugitive Slave Law, and the Sixty
Six who voted throughout for Scott, in
the Wing National Convention, and vo-
ted too, against the adoption Of the Wing
platform, tells n tale not to be misunder-
stood. That &c was more than half the
number of votes that Gen. Scott received,
during, perhaps fifty ballotings in the ma
tional Convention, and yet these men sup
port Scott, and denounce Pierce, Do
they support tho Wing platform 1t is
not to be wondered at that State Rights
Wings are abandoning the piebald Wing
party. =,
We hope the Democratic press will de-
nounce the infamous conduct of the men
at Washinuton who arc STOPPING to such
degrading schemes as has been alluded to,

REpoRrED MASSACRE OF CAPT. STEVENS.
The GAINESVILLE (Texas) Northern
Standard learns from Porter's Bluff that
Captain Stevens and his command, after
severe skirmishing with the Indians, was
finally surrounded by an immense band
of Camanches.s A battle ensucd in which
Captain Stevens, two officers, and fifty
six men were killed. The engagement
occurred 40 miles from Belknap. The
story is so much like the Marcy massacre
that it requires confirmation.

ANOTHER FA1LuRE.-The federal lead
ers in Pennsylvania proposed to hold a
great mass meeting in Harrisburg, on the
goth ult., to celebrate the anniversary of
the battles of Contreras and Churubusco,
which they denounced at the time they
were fought as a wicked butchery of limo
cent Mexicans. They made extensive
preparations, and great efforts to get up
large meeting, with view to revive the
dropping prospects of their cause in Penn
sylvania. The result is reported by tele-
graph, as perfect failure, not more than
1900 persons being present They ex-
pected as many thousands. What a con-
trast does this present to our HILLSIDE
rough meeting. Here, in little country
town situated in a sparsely settled agri-
cultural region, for away from any large
towns, AMI difficult of access, $4,000
Democrats assembled to manifest their
devotion to their principles and their re-
spect for their gallant standard bearer
while in the city of Harrisburg, in the We
ry centre of the great State of Pennsyl-
vania, with railroads running in various
directions, but 1900 persons could be got
together to glorify the federal candidate
and cause ! And such appears to be the
difference between the spirit and enthu-
siasm of the Democracy, and the apathy
and hopelessuess of federalism.

Pretty Good Cor seoit,s c.entienoss.

Pretty GOOD Tor Scottss Gentteness.
The p ennsylyanian says of the Wings
that they lately have become so enamored
of Gen. Scott that. they give him all the
virtues in the catalogue of feminine gem
tleness. sa .lS,, 81, IA. i'a2a q
AT a Wing meeting recently held at
Albany, n. *, the presiding officer said
of Gen. Scott. -
His manners are so gentle as to be al
most feminine, and Ihaye heard foreigners
express their amazement that man so in
ured to scenes of blood and carnage,
should be as simple, natural and g6scF'o'afe
asa child"
What rare qualities these are torbe
possessed by a soldier, and how few
since the DAYS of the first warrior, have
possessed them.
We assure our readers that we have no
desire to rob Gen., Scott of one iota of his
well earned fame, or feminine gentleness;
but how cruel was it for the historian in
recording the acts of Gen. Scott's life to
iuscribe upon the record pages which in
dictate opposite qualities. Gen. Scott is
femininely gentle, at least his friends say
SO now let us see what history says -
We are told that
In the war 1912 General Scott quar-
relied with Major General Brown, and at
tempted to have him court-martialed,
He quarreled with the brave Gene
raj Jessup.
F'He quarreled with General jackson
and refused to accept challenge.
He quarreled with De Witt Clinton,
and challenged him to fight duel.
He quarreled with General Wilkin-
son, for which he was court-martialed.
"1 He quarreled with the privates of his
company when captain because they wan
ted their pay, which he retained,
Z" He quarreled with DR., Claude, oil
Annapolis, Md, challenged him to fight
u duel, in which he came off second best
He quarreled with DR.. Upshaw, Of
New Orleans, and challenged him to fght
a duel, while the latter was sick bed
The duel was fought and Scott came of
second best.
He quarreled with General Macomb
and refused to obey orders.
He quarrelcd with General Peter b
Porter, Secretary of War, under Mr.
Adams.
"Hc quarreled with General Gaines,
He qurreled with Governor Marcy,
and wrote hasty letters.
ellie quarreled with General Taylor,
" Hc Quarreled with Mr., Trist.
ellie quarreled with General Worth.
"l He quarreled with General Pillow.
:" lie quarreled with Colonel Riley,

A man who has quorrclci with SO ma
ny Of his associates, challenged SO many
and fought so many duels, is very Eemi-
nine and remarkably gentle.
An exchange says: When the votes
are counted in November, and the Gene
raj finds himself beaten, the chances are
that he will quarrel with the whole why
party. the world, "aud the rest of man
kind"
