cor. BOYD.


we hear most sal iacory accounts from the
siStIl ional District Col Boyd the De
Esnoelatie candidate. is acqutting himself in the
91ost gratifying manner before. the people. and
making friends daily. We learn, from gentlemen
every way competent to decide, that he is an over
match for Col. Puryear in debate; and having the
advantage of the federal candidate in both princi
ple and argument, it no matter for surprise that
| Col. Puryear is losing ground.
| We hope the Democrats of the District will per-
nit us again to remind them of the Importance of
organization-of making ready to poll every cote.
The door is to turn and open on this hinge. A
full Democratic vote is Democratic victory.
A friend in Stokes gives the following sketch of
the discussion between the candidates at Stokes
Court House
"Co! Boyd met Col Puryear at our Court last
week lean assure YOU that the old wheel horse,
Bovd, made favorable impression on the minds
| of the sturdy veomanry of this County. Puryear,
as usual and as many Of his party are wont to do,
raved and ranted, and ranted and raved, and fit
ted over the old issues of Bank, Bankrupt Law
Tariff, &c. as lightly possible; but upon the land
question he dwelt for considerable time. He was
for North Carolina all the time-was il fact the
ardent was he that he was in favor of receiving a
full and equitable share Of the proceeds of the
public lands. or share of the lands, or portion
however small, and by any means it could be pro-
cured He was much excited while speaking.
Boyd replied, and Intercepted him upon the
Bank, Tariff and other questions, which was an
swered by Puryear in a way to.convince many that
he was on both sides of these important questions
Boyd commended for the Democratic policy in re-
gard to the land question-quoted President Fill
more's message to show that he, even as well as
the Democrats, was in favor of pledging the lands
to the payment of the national debt-denied the
Constitutional right of Congress to distribute the
proceeds, but said that if it the policy of the
government to divide the lands among the
several States after paying off the pubic debt, he
thought North Carolina SHOULD have an equitable
share. But he believed there no probability
Of such policy being adopted in his time if ever
During his speech he was calm and cool, and his
arguments were plain and conclusive, The Dem
ocracy in this County are in good spirits and are
of opinion that Boyd will get as good a vote as
Gov. Reid did last August"

To the Editor Of the Standard:

10 the Edtt0F Of me Stdn00F0:
SIR: Allow me through the medium Of your paper
to make explanation point contained in the
statement Of Mr. Branch, in the Standard Of the 25th
ins in relation 10 carrying the mail over the Raleigh
and CASTOR Rail Road.
From that statement the public are made TO under
stand that no schedule to connect with the Express
ould be acceeded to by the Department. This
understand TO be otherwi se. When it was first de-
train over the Raleigh and CASTOR Road, no other
schedule was talked of Cor believe thought of
by Mr.. Branch, than to leave Weldon and CASTOR on
the arrival of the cars from Petersburg and Ports
mouth. about P. NJ, and arrive at Raleigh by 6 P.
M. This schedule, though Objectionable and inefi-
cient compared with connection with the regular
mail train, have good reason to believe would have
been acceded to and would now be acceded to- by
the Department but Mr.. Branch, in his letter of the
l9th May, proposes schedule to delay the mail at
Weldon for the arrival of the express train from Will
ming ton, Ga train which bring mail } and
arrive al Raleigh 81. P NJ, too late for the deiv
cry the mail matter night. To this schedule the
Department refused its assent, and assigned one
of the reasons that The mail matter, for delivery
Raleigh would be delayed from 6 to II hours. This
supposed delay Mr. Brach is disposed 10 treat rather
unfairly, by applying it 10 mail matter which passes
through Raleigh. The remark was made reference
10 the proposed schedule, and referred only mail
matter 10 be delivered at Raleigh.
My apology for this explanation is, that am very
DESTROYS the mail should continue the Rail Road
and have little doubt that by conforming the sche-
due rsi proposed the object would be accomplished,
and citizens receive their mail IL hours

spirited account of the recent discussion between
DIR. Shaw and MIR. Outlaw, at Camden Court
House. 1t is evident that DIR. Shaw has the ad-
vantage of MIR. Outlaw in debate. He is a more
ready and fluent speaker than the latter, and he
puts his points in excellent style. Col. Outlaw
must feel embarrassed, in reviewing his recent
in relation to Gen. Scott and here, especial
ly, DIR. Shaw subjects him. as the Pioneer says,
to the refined cruelty Of an nqusitiorial torture
