ties is as follows Senate, Phillip Barrow, Esq.
Commons. J. A. Waugh and Joel F. Hill, EsquiTes,
and Col. Henry Marshall. Messrs. Barrow, Waugh,
and Marshall have all heretofore served in the Legs-
lature with credit themselves and their constitu-
en,s; and Mr.. Hill is young gentleman of excellent.
common sense, popular, and devoted to the RePubli-
can cause. We are gratied hear that the prospect
of the election of the whole ticket is good. The
people of these Counties for Free Suffrage; and
we trust they will bear in mind. not only in the cam
paign bu, on the day of the election, that to elect
Wings TO represen. them the Assembly, and to vote
for John Kerr, is to cast their voiees and their iu
ence against this noble MEASURE and contribute to is
defeat at the ensuing session. He that's not for US
in this matter is against u.s. Free Suffrage is to
triumph by the exer,ions of posius and aciue friends,
and not by the sickly aid of those who, like John
Kerr, are willing alo,o it to the people certain
conditions.
We learn that the Wing candidates in Stokes and
Forsyth are as follows: Senate, J. M. Covngton; !;
Commons, Chas. E. Shober, J. E. Matthews, Hardy
Carroll, and Isaac Golding.
SURRY AND ASHE.
We are gra,6ed to learn that Col. George Bower
has consented to stand again for the Senate in the
above Countess Col. Bower is one OF our most
useful and reliable public men, He possesses sound
judgment and has had much experience in public af-
fairs and we anticipate his election either without
opposition, by large majority over any opposition.
The Democratic candidates for the Commons in
Surry are DR.. George F. Wilson, Joseph Do6son,
and Charles Whitock. These gentlemen are all en-
inen,ly qualified to uphold the Republican banner,
and, from what we Tan learn we count With conf
dence on their election. The people of Surry have
not forgotten tha, it was of their cherished
REPRESENTATIVES, Mr.. Sheek, who first introduced the
Free Suffrage bill into the Legislature; and they no
doubt know and feel that the of this great
measure depends, in very great degree, the re-
suit of the August elections.
DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN ASHE.
At a meeting Of the Democracy of Ashe. held at

the distance safe, crossing her bows.
The Propeller fearing collision, reversed her engine
and at the moment the Atlantic up, had ceased all

Wing journals MOI tn Carolina, and whose editor,
learn, served under Gen. Scotts command north
western frontier in the Of 1872 thus up the
and the significance of the late terrible OF
the Wings in North Carolina.
The language Of the Commercial IS directly TO the
point and is well worth reading by those who may have
been mystihed by the Wing about " free suf-
frage" and "local issues"
7CAUsE OF WING DEFEAT-We think the Standard
is mistaken in attrbutng. in part the defeat OF the
Wings to the iree-sufrage principle In the only case
where that doctrine would have any in6uence-the
that the freeconvention principle has overshadowed
iree-suffrage in this election.
The Scott nomination alone has caused the election
Of Reid though the Standard thinks would have
been put in jeopardy had Fillmore been the nominee.
In that election a large number OF Whigs-thousands,
believe-have been Indifferent neutral, voted
for Reid. All these, who comprise large portion OF
the talents and influence Of the Wing party would
have been working men, and industrously engaged in
promoting the election Of Kerr had not the South been
insulted and degraded by the political dsvilment that
nominated Scott
HThe Wings have now the first lesson the Scott
nomination. which feared would not read well
