PIERCE AND KING CLUBS.

The Democrats of Fayettev ille held a most en-
thusiastic meeting on Thursday evening last. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Messrs. Dobbin and
Wright, and Committee was appointed to make
preparations for suitable oicng at the late De-
nocratic triumph.
We are gratifed to perceive that a Pierce and
King Club has also been formed in Lumberton,
Robson County-R. S. French, President; Thos
A. Norment and James Blount Vice Presidents :;
and Dr. R. M. Norment, A. w. Fuller, and Benja-
min Freeman, Secretaries. The President, Mr..
French addressed the Club at length, and Colonel
w. Mcneil reported spirited and appropriate Re-
solutions. which were unanimously adopted. The
Club was also addressed by Col. Mcneil and Thos.
A. Norment; and the following gentlemen were
appointed Sub-Electors for Robson County Col.
j. G. Davis, Col. w. Mcneil, R. S. French, and
A. w. Fuller.
Our friends in Fayetteville, Lumberton and Raj
eigh have adopted the best MEANS in organizing
their Clubs to spread information before the people
and at bring out the full vote in November. We
hope to hear of the organization of at least one
hundred Pierce and King Clubs in the State before
the election. Let the Democrats in every town
especially, form Clubs at once; and we do not see
why they may not be formed in the different neigh
borhoods. What say our friends in Wake? Why
not organize Club at Rolesville, one at Holly
Springs, one in the neighborhood of Banks, and
others at such points besides as may promise to b
of benefit to the cause?
We are one in sentiment, it is true but if w
would ensure success we must be one in action also
We must lay the facts before the people-we m us
warn them of the danger of giving countenance o
support to the Seward candidate-we must repe
the ISLANDERS cast by the inscriptions Scott leader
upon the pure character of Franklin Pierce--w
must drive home to the popular mind full anc
just conception of the calamitous results which
must inevitably follow the triumph of the Scott
Seward ticket; and in order to do this and t.
bring out every vote on the day Of election, w
must get close to the people, interest them in ou
cause by the earnestness and energy with which
we press it, and prepare them to act we'll as t.
hear. We shall certainly triumph provided we us
the necessary means, but we must not count on to-
easy victory.

EB- The Raleigh Register says the Wing
fires" are burning brightly" Where? In Geor-
gia! The "Union" Wings of that State have
just repudiated Scott and nominated Webster for
the Presidency. In New York? 1t is stated, on
good authority, that there are not less than five
thousand Wings in the City of New York alone,
who will not support Scott. They knose whose
candidate he is. In North Carolina? What mean
those heavy Reid gains in Ashe, Rowan, Davidson,
Cherokee, Buncombe, and Haywood? Does not
the Register know that the Hon. Thomas L.
Cingman, and the Hon. J. P. Caldwell, represen-
tatives in Congress from this State-the former
from Southern Rights District and the latter
from Wing Distrct-ore against Scott! Is the
Register in doubt to the fact that maa,ey promi-
nent North Carolina Wings have declared they
cannot support Scott and Graham?
If the "Whig fires" are burning brightly" it
is only the last ftful flash from the smouldering
ruins. The party itself was sacrificed in its late
National Convention. It pulled down Webster
and Fillmore it is true, but went down with them
to rise no more. After this contest it will be a
purely sectional concern, and then Seward will be
at its head, as he is now felt along all its
ranks.

WHO IS FRANKLIN PIERCE q"

A 4" Soldier in the Mexican War;" thus bears tes-
timony to the galantry and bravery of Gen. Pierce,
through the columns ofthe Milwaukee Morning News,
previous to the assembling of the Wing Convention
in Baltimore. The " testimony" will be heartily
sponded to by thousands who fought under the COM
mand Of the brave officers that led the American vol
unteers against the soldiers of Mexico:
IS a soldier in the Mexican war, and was
we'll acquainted with Gen. Frank Pierce. He
appointed Brigadier General by President Polk,
der the ten regiment bill. The first action in which
l knew his participating was the bloody battle Of
Contreras. l fought in that battle, and l speak of
my personal knowledge when l say that his gallant
conduct on that occasion was the subject of remark
throughout the army. Gen. Scott speaks Of him in
the highest terms in his dispatches.
Gen. Pierce very popular not only with his
fellow officers, but with the common soldiers. His
Democratic feeling and frank, open manner, endeared
him to the rank and file. Gen. Scott was always
the gentleman, but common never at his
ease in his presence, for he chilled under the
cold and distant manner OF the aristocrat. He was
never popular with the army. If Gen. Scott should
be nominated against Gen. Pierce, and the army had
the decision of the question, Frank Pierce would be
the next President OF the United States. He would
get the of four.ffths of the army against the
commander-n-chief l rejoice in Gen. Pierce's nomi-
nation. He is a glorious specimen Of man. The
more the people know Of him, the more they will
learn 10 love him.
During the hottest part Of the great battle which
closed our Mexican war, and admitted ouI heroes to
the " Halls of the Montezumas,' Gen. PIERCE having
routed the legion where he had been fighting, hast
ened with his command 10 the assistance of Ct be-
lieve) General P. f. Smith, when the following la
comic dialogue ensued.
Pierce.-"Gen. Smith, what have you for me to do?'
Smith" Command" (Pierce ranking higher }
Pierce" Have you a plan for the next momen!''

Pierce" Then l order you to execute your plan,

When our American Consul at Venice related this
anecdote, (says my teacher,) TO Venetian gentle
man, who had travelled much in America, the old
man exclaimed =" On that everlasting Yankee ma
toni! Who ever heard of a Superior rank officer
who would fight for moment under a subaitern even
at the price of victory That will shake every crown

MASS MEETINGS.

Will not our friends in other parts of the State
initiate the example of the Democrats of Wayne
We learn that meeting will be held at some CEN
trail place in the Buckhorn country, which can be
conveniently attended by the people of Wake,
Chatham and Moore.
Cannot large meetings of the people be called
at one or more points north of the Roanoke?
Cannot our Orange and Alamance friends get
up meeting in the northwest, towards the Cas-
we'll lne9 And what say the Republicans of Yad-
kin and Surry, of Forsythe and Stokes, and OF
Rowan and Davidson?
If these meetings, or any Of them should be
called during the month of September we feel
authorized to say that Mr.. Dobbin, the State
Elector, Gen. Saunders, and other Democratic
speakers will attend. Now is the tlme-the As
sembly will meet the first Monday in October, and
it will be out of the power Of those gentlemen who
are members of that body to devote any of their
time thereafter to these meetings.
The District Electors-Messrs. Thomas, Bragg,
Branch, and Person-together with Electors,
will no doubt take the field at an early day and
there are other gentlemen, neither Electors nor
Sub Electors, who will no doubt be willing to do
service in the cause. We are gratifed to perceive
that the Democrats of the Districts which are still
without Electors are taking the necessary steps to
appoint them.
That aDas a glorious victory, brother Democrats,
which we achieved on the 5th of August. Your
fame is now on the tongues of the people of thirty
States-you touched off the first gun in the great
contest for PIERCE and KING, and as its shot
went crashing through the timbers of the old Scott
hulk, it was met by the ringing shouts of millions
Of Republicans from Maine to California, and hail
ed as sign and pledge of the sinking of the
whole Seward crew amid the storms of November
If we would preserve the high character we have
WON'T we would ensure success in this contest
we must not think Of sleeping on our laurels. We
shall have long season of repose after November
but let us see to it. we can see to it by timely
and united action, that North Carolina, like her
sisters New Hampshire, Virginia, and Georgia,
shall take that repose in the arms of victory.

EN The Democrats of the Pierce and King
Club, Raleigh, had most enthusiastic meeting on
Saturday evening last. Gen. Saunders and Perrin
Busbee Esq. spoke at some length and with their
usual ability; and Maj. Nixon delivered some ex-
cellent remarks on the Importance of thorough
organization of the party. Gen. singeltary was
also called up, and entertained the Club with
pertinent and interesting remarks.
We invite attention to the Resolutions adopted,
in another column. The Club it will be seen, hail
ed with qualification the proposed Mass Meeting
at Goldsborough, and resolved that as many
of their number would attend as could make it
convenient to do so.
We can assure our friends at distance that the
Wake Democracy united to man, they
have been from the first, on Pierce and King. Not
the first note of dscord is heard in their ranks.
They will give good account Of themselves in
November,

The ScoTT PICTURE Book. 1t said these little
pamphlets, with which our country is covered about
as thick Egypt with frogs, were printed an
Abolition ofice-written, in fact, by Abotionist.
This may all be truemost likely is-but still it is
very good little book, barring the miserable daubs call
ed . peters,, that dsfgure it all over. 1t shows in
a brief manner, and one that be understood by
the most simple, that Gen. Scott is brave and an
able military officer, and that he has done first
rate fighting in all of which we glory All honor to
him for it. But it does not show US what capacity
Gen. Scott has for the Presidency.
To the book, of itself, we have no objection but
to the intention with which is circulated among the
people do object. That intention is dazzle the
eyes and blind the judgment Of the people with the
military exploits that will voe for Scott without re-
fecting upon his fitness un6:ness for the office OF
President. 1t is insult to the intelligence, the
good sense and sound reason of the people,

FIJI N N V

The Scott and Graham Club of this place had a
rally" on Monday evening the 10th instant
They passed a string of remarkable Resolutions
and among them one declaring that though de-
feated in the recent election" they are not econ
quered!"
That was funny.
They also resolved Gen. Scott to be an " able
civilian" and wound up by eulogizing him as a
Christian soldier !" and that, too after fighting
in what their party declared in 1916 an unjust
and damnable war"
We may pay our respects to these Resolutions
in our next.

The Why! We beg Wing friends in this
and other States 10 mark and remember the follow
ing important admission of the Wilmington Journal:
Fayetteville Observer.
"Free Suffrage is stronger than any man or set of
men, and the result has been, that Co.. Reid has,
nearly all cases, ahead OF his party Uote."
This is PROFESSIONALLY SO, but does not begin to
account for all the large gains which Mr. Reid has
made-evcn in sections of the State where Free Suf
frage is rather unpopular than otherwise. Besides,
Gov. Reid advocated the same doctrine the last time,
and against unpopular Wing candidate; whereas,
this time his opponent claimed to be very popu-
lar. How can we account for his now beating a
popular by double the majority that he before
obtained over unpopular one on the same issue,
unless take into the calculation the depressing eff
feet which SCOTS nomination exerted upon his oppo

Manly in Cumberland and Rutherford, had no infu-
ence upon Mr.. Kerr, making clear difference of

of any such thing towards Mr.. Kerr. The Wing
party was active and deermi ned, and confident Of
success, until after Gen. SCOTS nominaion-then it

advantages Mr.. Manly. Mr.. Kerr got beat by
nearly double the majority which cast against
that gentleman ;-more than halfthe majority agai
Mr.. Kerr is attri butable to Gen. Scott.

Gov. REID passed through this place on last Tues
day on his way home. His tour through the noun
tains seemed to have improved his health; and of
course the heavy gains he brought down with him
did not make him feel any worse. He expressed
himself well satisfied with the vote he received in
Rutherford, and desired to present his thanks to
the people for their liberal support. Mr.. Kerr re-
turned by way of Morganton. Mountcin Banner.

VIM. II. SEWARD. For deep penetration, willy
talent, and power of deception the man whose name
heads this article probably stands unequa!led. Far
sighted, sagacious, with abilities of superior order,
nature seems to have intended him for one of her
nobemen; but the depravty of his heart, the dspo-
ston pander TO the lusts Of others and 10
age fanatcism in order obtain power, renders him,
perhaps, the most dangerous demagogue now in the
Union.
For many years Henry Clay was the light and the
id of his party but before his pillar of fire -
had gone entirely out, Stewards " pillar of cloud y
rising in the Northern horizon to take the
place of the waning luminary. Seward now holds
the place in the hearts and hopes of the Northern wing
of the Wing party that Clay formerly held in the
hearts and hopes of the whole party and by one of
those deep laid schemes, by the talent, tact and in
dustry for which he is remarkable, he has procured
the nomination of Gen. Scott for the Presidency in
spite of the South, too truly calculating upon The
support of large portion of the Southern Wings,
bound by party ties and party interest to further his
own designs.
Weregard Seward as the Gsst dangerous man now
in the Union because to corrupt and selfish heart
is added the most commanding abilities. His 'pillar
of cloud is fast overshadowing the land-not to pro-
tect and refresh, that which stood over behind
the children OF Israel in the wderness-no to shield
from merciless foe; but black and protentous of evil,
shedding its baeful influences the North and the
South, and distlling the poison of death upon South
ern institutions. Mountain Banner.

New CoTToN. A Geographic dispatch informs US
that the first bale of Cotton, of the present crop,
received in New Orleans yesterday. The first bale
of new Cotton, last season, was received at New
Orleans the 25th day of July, eight days earlier
than this season.
Many persons have supposed that the date of the
first bloom and also the date of the receipt OF the
first bale of Cotton correctly indicate the prob
able yield of the crop, that is that early blooms and
early receipts indicate large crops, and later blooms
and recei pts indicate short crops. Correctly kept
tab les Of these facts, however, prove that they fur
nish reliable data for such estimates In 1945 the
first bloom noticed the Both May, and the
first bale received the 30h July. In that year
the crop was 2,O75OOO bales. Three years after,
in 1913, the first bloom noticed the 1st of
une. The first bale received that year the
In 1949, the very year, the first bale Of Cotton
received on the 7th August, two days earlier
than in 1913, and yet the crop only reached
bales. 1t will thus be that the arrival of the first
bale is no index to the crop. Some years VIXEN the
receipts early, the crop short, and when la
ter the crop large, that these furnish relia
BILE data upon which estimate the extent of the CROP
in any year.
Our despatch further informs us that the crop is
generally forward and the accounts from the interior
favorable. AS for US, advised, the accounts
with few local exceptions, represent the cotton crops
as promising. Indeed we think We may take this
for granted, from the fact that hear complaints
from the planters, they having presume, cause
for complaining The provision crops, especially, are
abundant, and hope the cotton crop may turn out
equal to the last. Cotton is now bringing good
price, 81 70 104 cents, and with heavy crop
is supposed present prices will be maintained, and
perhaps supply materially short of that of last year
would cause prices to advance even beyond presen
rates. Savannah Morning Netos.

DIGNITY OF VOCATION. No impression prevailing
in society, is false fatal TO the manhood Of
people, than that which guages mans worth or re-
spectabity by the field of labor profession he &C.
cupies, long that labor profession is useful
honest. And hold every useful vocation to be hon.
est, denying emphatically, that dishonesty is
ever useful The nobility of man, in this country,
depending, thank Co., upon hereditary honor, title
wealth, should flow not from the nature of his hon.
toll, but from the spirit he carries to that toll the
spirit by which, with against the smiles of tenn
poral fortune, he shapes his among, and his
intercourse WITH his fellow-men. 1t has ever been
our conviction that he is of the true man, who
turns chimney to an honest, independent
account than he who, scorning the rough tolls of the
humble and needy, is willing TO live an ider-how-
ever proudly caparisoned, upon the industry, sweat
and blood of his felow-men.
Henry Clay-repubcan in all his instncts-paid
the workman just and noble compliment, when he
said TO mechanic as he shook his hard hand, and
pointed to the city palaces and spires, &" behold on
every side the moEu nents TO your glory!" What
matters it whether carry the bod or handle the
piumbline whether mixes the mortar or handles
the trowe so long each is essential to the pro-
crossing triumphs of human attainment in all outward
respectl We would not have descend to in
fefor conditions of toll voluntarily, if he has the
chance and capacity tor the superior, but would
have every man feel that when necessity commands,
there is no useful labor dishonorable. The LORD
Chancellor his wool-sack does not more conserve,
according his advantages, the welfare of mankind,
than the who hews stone in the quarry the
shepherd who tends his-dock on the hillside.
