THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature of this State will assemble III
this City, Monday next in.special session, having
been convened before the usual time by the Gov
error and Council. This State loses, by the late
Census, one Electoral vote. 1t has therefore be-
come necessary to rearrange the Electoral Districts
After this business shall have been transacted, how
ever, it is probable the Assembly will 60 forward
and complete all the business before it, before ad
journing.
The session will no doubt be protracted one
Much more Legislation will be required than at any
previous session for the last ten years; and we
think it probable, all things considered, that the
Legislature will not adjourn before the lst of the
ensuing January.
a number of members are already in the City
Nearly all of them will doubtless be here this
evening or tomorrow.

SCOTT AND JOHNSTON.

We ask the serious attention of Southern men tc
the following, from the Norfolk Argus:
"GEN. ScoTT IN ABOLITION HANDS. The whig
candidate for President has taken Pennsylvania in
his course to Kentucky, and has made an official er
rand merely political mission, says the Union. He
went into Pennsylvania under very suspicious cir
cumstances, and fell into the hands of the arch
enemy to the Compromise measures, The famous Wm
F. JOhnsOn-the same man WhO t0Gs indifferent c.
Governor to the murder Of citizen Of Maryland, wh
came into Pennsylvania to recouer his property, an
Uas assassinated by band Of negroes and aboEoni'
upon to do so By tie people of both parties in Phind
phia. In charge of this parsonage he made his poll
tical DEBUT in the Keystone State. We ask the at
tention of the South, and of the national men of the
North, to this suggestive coincIdence-Pointng, as
it does most concusivey. to the fact that the body
guard of General Scott in the North is composed of
the abolition Seward organization; and that this iac-
ton will control his administration if elected"

DISCUSSION IN PETERBOROUGH.

The last Fayetteville Carolnan says We
learn from gentleman who arrived here from
Pittsborough day or two ago, that an interesting
discussion took place in that town on Wednesday
last between Henry w. Miller, Esq, wing candidate
for Elector for the State at large, and Hon. Abram
Rencher, the democratic candidate for Elector for
the 9Th Congressional District. The discussion
did not take wide range, being confined mostly
to matters connected with the soundness of the
Presidential candidates of the two parties on the
slavery question. Messrs. Miller and Rencher spoke
one hour and half each, and then replied in half
hour speeches Our informant assures us that Mr.
Rencher fully and ably sustained himself in the
debate"
The Wing leaders are boasting as usual, over
Mr.. Nliller's exploits in Peterborough. We learn
that Mr.. Rencher met him at every point, and that
substantial good TO the Democratic cause will re-
suit fr, m the discussion. The Register and the
major portion Of the Scott leaders go in for hur-
rah and " fuss generally are satisfied with
simply convincing the people and getting votes.
MEETING AT RoLEsv1LLE We learn that L.
OBJ. Branch ESQ.,. the Democratic EIector for this
District, will address the people at Rolesve, Wake
County, on Saturday the 9th of October.
We hope the indomitable Rolesville Democracy
will turn out en- naasse to hear Mr.. Branch. 1t is
high time we were all fully at work in the good
cause. The advocates of the Seward ticket are
leaving means untried to excite and deceive the
people, and must meet and expose them at all
points. Roesvillei is of the strongholds of the
true aith to which the friends of Jeersonian prin
cples never appeal in vain.

THE GREENVILLE MASS MEETING

We copy from the last Goldsborough Re publ
can and Patriot the following notice of the Demo-
cratic Mass Meeting in Greenve:
MASS MEETING AT GRErNvILLE. The Democratic
Mass Meeting at Greenvle on Friday and Saturday
last was fine affair, and was attended by between
fifteen hundred and thousand persons as we have
heard it estimated Everything passed off to the en-
lire satisfaction of all concerned. On Friday after
noon Gen. Saunders delivered speech of much
length, and of great ability and which received
with marked appreciation. AT night Gen. Snseitary
addressed the crowd, creating much enthusiasm by
his spirited remarks After he had closed. Hon. Jas
G. Dobbin called upon, who responded in a
bref speech, closing with an announcement that he
would address the meeting al ii O'Clock next morn
ing. At intervals on Friday night rockets and Ro-
man candles were set of, and The loud roar of the
cannon marked both Friday and Saturday as days of
rejoicing among the Democracy of Pitt. On Saiur-
day Mr.. Dobbin made speech some three hours in
length to large crowd of " higs and Democrats
1t was listened to with profound attention, and we
understand produced shaking among the dry bones
of Whiggery in Pitt, that will show itself on the day
Of election. Mr.. Dobbin was followed by WIN. B.
Rodman, Esq, of Washington. Gen. Saunders then
closed the ceremonies of the occasion by short
speech. DR.. Ward, our Eector, was alsL present on
Saturday, but declined to speak account of inds-
position. lie announced however that he should adj
dress the Democracy of Pitt some time during the
campaign. Every thing passed off to the entire
qualification of all concerned and the Democracy of
Pitt highly elated. The eloquent vindIcatIon of
the Democratic Cause by the speakers present, has
infused new spirit among our friends in that coun-
ty, and they determined labor from this until
the day Of election to carry it for Pierce and King
That they will succeed we havn't doubt.''
We learn that Gen. Saunders also addressed a
large and attentive audience at Wilson, Edgecombe.
on Tuesday last. The lion-hearted Democracy of
Wayne, Nash, and Edgecombe rousing their
forces for the conflict; and expect glorious It'd
ings from them after the I'd of November Re-
member, a full Democratic vote is signal Demo
cratic triumph.

DANIEL WEBSTER's OPINION.

Judge Tarpley, of Mississippi, in a letter pub
lished in the Jackson Mississippian, says:
"Mr. Webster said to me, s. Sir, have known
Mr.. Pierce from his boyhood, and he is no" my
neighbor, and have hesitation in saying that al
though differ upon many Constitutions questions
yet upon the subject Of Slavery heis as sOHnd GnaIE'
liable for The South as Uas Mr.. Calhoun himself ~
The Raleigh Register calls Franklin Pierce
yankee Freesoiler," and would convict him OF De-
ing an Abolitionist on the testimony of Eos, an
Abolitionst and negro-stealer but Daniel WEBSTER

PoLITrcAL VILLANY. One of the most disgrace
full features of the present campaign, is the abonna-
BILE course of the Wing General Committee, in WASH

most outrageous fasehoods and Misrepresentation.

printed pages, headed Franklin Pierce and has A6o-
htfOn AAhes'-sent US from the South, where thou

Law Now, when it is universally known at the
North, that Mr.. Pierce is of the frmest oppo-

apology for such piece of outrageous deception

prosper-and those who practice them, would not
