The Wings held ." Scott ratification meeting at
Albany few days since, at which the following
amusing incident occurred -
STUMP ORATOR STUMPED. According to all ac-
counts, the Scott ratification meeting at Albany must
have been queer affair. The Atlas gives anus
ing report of it. and particularly Of the speech of one
little man. Mr.. Raymond, orator of the paUe'-
always very fussy and very important great COCA
sions. OF this Mr.. Ray mond it is said he went on
till, venturng to ask the crowd before him would
any one dare say that Mr.. Pierce was worthy to be
elected over Scot?' there was such overwhelming
response of 4ye' from the crowd, that the orator for
the first time became conscious of the composition of
the audience Mr.. Raymond was stumped. and,
like the under the dead aim of Capt. Scott, he
came down. That I" aye was clincher.

DESPERATION OF THE ENEMY. The federal edit
ors exhibited such desperation-neVer resorted
sHch reckless and desperate expedents to sustain
their cause against the strong tide of public feeling
that Is now SO aIpaby setting against them. NO
better illustration of this can be presented than the
attempt of the Washington Republic to prove Gen.
PIERCE to be hostile the Fugitive Slave Law. and
the witnesses it employs prove this charge. Those
witnesses the Independent Democrat and the Man
chester Democrat! These abolition organs on whose
testimony that of their editor no New Hampshire
Jury would hang dog, referred to by the Wash
ngton Republic for a correct representation OF zen.
Pierce's views and position upon that subject! 1t
copies at length the grossly false account of General
PieTce's New Boston speech, which those papers
gave and declares that " its has never been
questioned Now to this latter point, it is suf-
cien say that the statements of these common libe
ers considered perfectly absurd, and carried
upon their face so palpably the stamp OF iasehood
that thought contradiction Of them to be
necessary. The Democratic party repudiaed their
candidate for Governor solely because he was found
cohabting with these very men-because he had pro-
claimed his hostility 10 the COMPROMISE measures
and insisted upon renewing the agitation Of questions
settled By the passage Of those measures and Gen.
Pierce the residence of that candidate to de-
tend this act Of the Democratic party and to sustain
those measures-the Fugitive Slave Law being the
one most violently attacked. And yet the Washing
ton Republic has the mendacty and stupidity to repre-
sent that, in his speech such occasion and made
for such purpose, Gen. Pierce proclaimed his utter
rePugnance to that law, denounced it as opposed to
humanity and to Moral right, and declared that the
execution of law which he believed to be required
by the Constitution, revolving to his own feel
ings!
Was there any thing more absurd, more pre-
posterous and absolutely ridiculous? Never; and
yet the leading organ of the federal party while
Tossing to abhor all phases OF abotionlsm, Parades
the miserable bels of two infamous abolition papers,
in support ofthis ridiculous charge! bare
of the presents itself, is enough TO stamp
the whole thing as contemplate piece of demago-
gueism and mendacity and if the editor Of the Re-
public is stupid to believe what he endeavors
to make his readers believe, it shows him to be but
little better than fool while if he does not believe
it,. he proves himself knave. ... ...
This vile and stupid thing shows that the federal
leaders prepared the disreputable
expedents to promote their desperate cause. and is
significant illustration Of their reckessness and
desperation for such things never done except

Democrats, are you Ready2

Democrats, are you Ready?
This is the last opportunity we shall have before
the election of addressing our readers on the i'm
portant issues involved in this contest. 1t would
be useless to repeat those issues here to enlarge
upon them, for they are we'll known and under
stood by all.
On Thursday next the political character Of
North Carolina will be decided for the neat t,Ce1aty
gears. If the Federalists should succeed in elect
ing the Governor and majority in the Legislature
they will their power at the ensuing session
as to put the Democrats down and keep them
down for years they will elect the United States
Senator, take the Congressional and Senatorial
Districts into their keeping and shape them so as
to be able to control them under all circumstances;
and they will plunge forward into all kinds of par
tizan and extravagant legislation. AS to these re-
suits there be doubt, provided the Federal
lists should triumph. All past experience tells us
it will be so. Again: If this State should go for
the Federasts next Thursday, it Will occasion joy
inexpressible in all SeaOardom, and Scott stock,
with Seward for auctioneer, will advance fifty per
cent. Remember that, We Southern Rights men,
and act accordingly
But will anticipate such calamitous re-
suits We must and we sOiU carry the day, if we
are true to ourselves. The facts reason truth jus
tice, the Constitution all on our side-we have
gallant and hitherto invincible leader in DAVID
S. REID, and THE PEOPLE are with US in SEN
timent and sympathy.
Let us, then, close up every gap in our ranks
and go forward "to battle and to VICTORY. !"
Brother Democrats we not mistaken when we
tell you that at least one thousand votes may be
cured or saved an North Carolina, on the day of
the election.
Why coil in the campaign for three months, if
we do not intend to avork on the day of election
That, be assured, is the most important day of
all.
Be sure to be on the election ground at an early
hour, with good supply of tickets; and as soon
as you get there, go right to work. See that
every one who wishes to vote for Reid and for
Democratic candidates for the Assembly, has fair
play. If any are sick or infrm, or unable from
any cause to get to the polls, go after them, and
thus give them an opportunity to exercise that
greatest right of mantle right of suffrage.
Brother Democrats! the time has arrived for
something stronger and more conclusive against
Federalism than mere words. This is the hour for
deeds-deeds which shall make their mark in his
tory, and be hailed by posterity as worthy, in
cry respect of enlightened and patriotic ancestors
This cause is THE PEOPLES, and in their hands
we leave it. If the Democratic hosts falter not in
the hour of battle, "victory eagle-winged" shall
perch on our banners. They aUiU not falter. All
past experience teaches they will stand firm and
do their duty. Forward, then, brother Democrats,
for the hour has come!

Chatham COunty,

We invite the attention of our readers to the
letter of Hon. Abraham Rencher in another COL
umn.
We. learn that the point of greatest interest in
Chatham is the Senatorial contest. Mr.. Renchers
vindication of himself as consistent Republican,
is said to be triumphant and complete; and we
learn that upon Free Suffrage change of the ba-
SIS and the Slavery question, he has entirely borne
down and demolished his opponent, William
Albright. He is said to have produced some most
startling proofs against Mr.. Albright on the sub
jects of the basis and Slavery. For instance, Will
liam Albright voted, in the Senate of 1s4s'49,
against the following Resolution:
s'Resolped, That the enactment of any law by
Congress which shall abolish slavery the tradeC
in the District of Columbia. shall directly ind
recty deprive the citizens of any of the States of the
right of emgating with their slave property into any
of the Terrtorties of the United States and of ex-
ercsing ownership the same while in said Terri
tories, will be act not only of gross injustice and
wrong, but the exercise of power contrary to the true
meaning and spirit Of the constitution, and never
tempated by the trainers thereof"
Mr.. Albright also voted, at the same session,
against Resolution declaring that the people of
North Carolina were willing that the Slavery ques
ton should be settled on the basis of the Missouri
line For proof as to these votes, see Senate
Journal, session 1s4s'49, page 222.
Can Chatham County ratify the Freesoil conduct
and sentiments of William Albnght? Can a
County owning six thousand slaves return such a
man to the Assembly? We cannot believe it.
We are gratifed to hear thatthe prospect for elect
ting Mr. Rencheri is good. There can be no doubt as
to has soundness any of these questions and as
to ability, no comparison whatever can be made
between him and MrAlbrght MrRencker is quail
fled in every respect to transact public business
he has had large experience, and is statesman !;
Mr.. Albright is, tosay the most for him, dull man.
with but little information and yields but small
Gf any influence in the Senate. Can the enlight-
ened people of Chatham hesitate for one moment
as to a choice between these two men?

Our readers will thank us for directing their
attention to remarks delivered by Commodore
STOCKTON on the occasion Of Mr.. WEBsTER's
visit to Trenton. New Jersey. Considering
the relationship occupied by the Commodore to
the conserv alive section of the Democracy, his
speech IS in all respects unique, and will I'M
doubtedly occasion fresh futtering in the Pres
idential host. The Commodore will have the
support Of those who desire an independent
Democratic candidate--one who avoids the fill
clustering vagaries Of "Young America" with
out relapsing into the darkness Of cold fogy-
ISM" The speech will be found to embody a
straightforward declaration in favor of pro
tective tariff, strong and cordial tribute to
Federalism, and warm hearted commentator
of the character and career of Mr.. WEBsrER.
