A friend writes us from Stokes as follows.
=" think shall carry whole ticket for the
Legislature. I am much mistaken il Reid is not
stronger here than he was two years ago. There can
be doubt of his reelection. But The Feds are des
perate. If they can by any means carry the Lpuis
laure, their object will be effected-Free Ssffage
will be lost sight Of and Federalism will reign for
the next ten years in Nortk Carolina. In view Of
this it becomes every who loves his country to
rally around the standard of Democracy and save the
State from ruin. To aid in this noble work shall in
few moments set out to public gathering"
A friend writes us from Cabarrus as follows:
"The Democrats are in high spirits here The
reelection of David S. Reid is considered certain"
A friend in Ashe writes as follows:
1--WE are in the midst of an exciting and highly
important canvass. The Federaliss are making
death-struggle to defeat Col. Bower for the Senate,
but our friends in the finest spirits and will put
forth every effort. The Democracy 10 this region
have never been better organized mos determined
on success
We are glad to learn that the Democrats Of
Johnston have formed a Pierce and King Club. A
friend writing us from Smithfeld under date July
%, says:
"It really looks as if the days of Polk and Dallas
and of" old Hickory had come again. The Dem.
ocrats Of Smth6ed held meeting at the Court
House Monday evening last, oform Pierce and
King Club. The meeting was opened by Speech
from Linn B. Sanders, ESQ.,, one of the Sub-EeciorS
for this District, and candidate for the CommOns
this County and at the conclusion of his remarks
loud calls were made for Col. Thomas Rutin, oil
Wayne, who was present and responded IN most
eloquent and stirring manner. He expressed his graf:
ifcaton at meeting with his brother Democrats OF
Johnston on such an occasion, and alluded TO the
brigh, prospects and universal good feeling existing
in the Democratic party from The granite hills OF Ne"
Hampshire, the home of Pierce, to the golden streams
OF California He briefly reviewed the course OF the
Wing party from the memorable campaign OF l0aC
to the present time. and showed that the hnmougs
log cabins and hard cider were to be revived In DOW
of soup and pone of Graham bread. he gave
glowing description of the National Convention which
nominated Pierce and King, calling down warm aP
plause. .,,,
The Club was then formed, nearly every person
present becoming members. Thanks were returned
to the speakers, and the Club adjourned with three
cheers for Pierce and King and David s. Reid
We have been giving expression, for several
weeks past, to the spirit Of the people-Dut that
spirit will find its noblest and highest expression
at the ballot-box, on Thursday next The h0"rJ"
action has arrived let every Democrat and ever!
Free Suffrage man do his duty, and the Gay
ours.
