requires you to cast the great power you
hold in your hands in the shape of that

REMEMBER that you have COM

BANKS is one of the great issues in this
election, and that you will vote for or a.

REMEMBER that your State is in

Since putting the above in type we

that places him in rather an unfavorable
light. AS to whether Mr.. Johnston is
responsible for Mr.. Porter's statement at

there is clearly something wrong some

whole of the evidence for yourself.

ES- The Rev. William J. Langdon, Agent of
the "Seamen's Friends Society of Wilmington is
at present in this City receiving contributions to
erect Mariners Church in that place. The
commerce of Wilmington, already large, is destin-
ed to a steady increase and the intercourse be-
tween that port and the ports of other countries,
brings to her wharves and among her people thou
sands of seamen annually. Every other seaport of
importance in the United States has a Mariners
Church and the efforts thus made by the Chris
tan denominations and the benevolent generally
have had marked effect upon the habits and char
acter of this class of men.
This movement is not denominatonal, as may
be seen by the bill introduced into the Commons
by MIR. Strange, to incorporate the Society, and
may be we'll understood from its nature and the
character of those engaged in it.
This is the first appeal of the sort ever made to
the North Carolina public in behalf of the honest
hearted impulsive, and cratic sailor and we hope
it will meet elsewhere, as here, with liberal res
ponse.
We are gratifed to learn, from the Agent, that
he has thus far been literally encouraged. The
Governor Of the State, many members of the Leg
lsIature and prominent citizens have contributed ;
and he INDUCES the hope that during the remain
der of his stay here, he will add many more names
to his list.
We are requested to say to those who may not
have an opportunity to contribute now, that they
can forward subscriptions to the Agent the
treasurer of the "Seamans Friends Society,""

The RECENT SLAVE CASE IN NEW YoRK. man
named Lemon, residing in Virginia, intending moving
to Texas, and to this end shipped himself and wife,
and some eig ht negroes, board the City of Rich
mond steamer, bound for New York, with the view
of taking water thence to New Orleans, having
wish bring his slaves into the State of New DIRK,
or in any way place them under the jurisdiction Of its
laws, but simply to transfer them from one vessel to
another, their way from slave State TO another
Presently the Abol onists heard of it, and a writ
of ha6eas corpus was sued out in the of free
negro. calling himself Louis Napoleon, and the slaves
brought up before Judge Payne, of the Superior
Court, who discharged them; their master-Mr.
Lemon-thus losing his property, which, 1t seems,
about all he possessed.
The Judge put his decision upon the ground, that
The Statutes OF New York expressly forbid any slave
to be brought into the State, and declare any SO
brought be free-the transit laws having been abol
ished in lS4l and that, therefore, he had discre
ton in the matter. Ii argued behalf of the
counsel for the owners, that under the laws of
tons say nothing Of the comfy existing between
conederated States, a citizen of friendly State has
right to free transit with his property, through
another friendly State. The Judge held that this
principle did apply 20 slaves which not prop
erIy by the laws of nations, but only by the force of
local municipal law.
However this decision may be in accordance with
the Statutes of New York, II cannot fail 10 rrlae the
Southern people. The trade of New York has been
built by the commerce of The slaYe-holdng States.
and when citizen of of those States attempts
to make use of the shipping facilities oil New York
for the transportation of his property from slave
State to another, he is rudely and unhospitably de-
prved of his property. If this be the spirit of New
York jurisprudence and Legislation, would not
give much for her proe ssions ofiberdty and justice.

In table of the official vote Of the recent

State, the democratic loss in Macon county was
stated at SO. 1t should have been so. Kerr's
majority in August was 10, and SCOTS SO, leaving
the gain for Scott so. Our mistake occurred by
aaolng the two majorties instead Of substractlng
one from the other The correction is due to the
Sterhng democracy of Macon county, and we take
