Turkish Empire, encamped but for four centuries
on the frontiers of Europe, and the Chinese Mon

alike crumbling. While these events are passing
in the Old World, the tide Of emigration, which
has no parallel in history, is pouring Westward
across the Atlantic and Eastward across the Pacific

world seems moving to the new Hemisphere

Others who might be mentioned, will not faIter IN
| this hourd trial. We appeal to Wake County to
turn out ia her and to utter her voice as
in past time for the Republican canse believe
she viii doit. Her Democracy were surprised last
summer almost into defeats and the very man
is now the Wing candidate for Congress who then
made such inroads upon US. "Forewarned, fore
armed. (" Space would fail us to appeal, man by
man, to the friends of Lewis in this County-their
" name is legion, while those who are for Vena-
bic generally admit that he differs with his party
on material points. We sincerely trust that the
number of Venable men will diminish as the cleo
ton approaches, and that the Wake Democracy
will 90 in solid column for the best Democrat and
the strongest man. Franklin County, we feel conf
dent will poll nearly her entire Democratic strength
for her own son. She will do it, because he is a
Democrat in principle and practice, and because
she is proud of the and feels that he is wor-
thy of her support. But what shall we say of
Granville !? We know the sympathies of her De-
mocracy are with Mr.. Venable, but surely they
cannot sustain him under present circumstances
Let them reflect that, if he appears just now to be
strong among them, it by no means follows that
he is strong in other portions of the District He
is losing every hour and he must continue to lose,
for the plain that lie differs with his party
on principle. Mr.. Lewis has been ready at all
times to abide Convention, and we have reason
to believe that he has earnestly sought to heal this
breach and to restore harmony
The issue, we repeat, is between Venable and
Democratic principles; and the contest is, beyond
question, between Messrs. Lewis and Rogers
Every vote for Venable will be thrown away, for
he cannot be elected; and every vote withheld
from MIR. Lewis will strengthen the Wing candi-
date. That is our opinion, delivered in plain terms
We regret to have to pursue this course and 10
use this language. We have borne with Mr.. Ven
able for months, in the hope that under the in1u-
ence OF the "sober second thought, % he would
atone for his departure from principle-would re-
turn to organization, and concur in some meas
ures for restoring harmony and concord. If he
would retire from the contest now, and leave the
field to Mr.. Lewis, the Democratic candidate. he
would show some evidence of spirit which would
be justly appreciated and which in future might
rebound to his advantage. But we understand he
opposes all attempts to harmonize and declares he
Will run through regardless of consequences. lie
leaves, therefore, but course for the Democra-
cy, and that is to vote him down, as we sincerely
trust they will do, at the polls

OUR CORRESPONDENT. aW. W. >

Our Correspondent w. w" alludes to the
the vote in the late Legislature of this State in
favor of Bynum's Resolutions, and endeavors TO
show that Mr.. B. and other Democrats are in favor
of dividing the lands. Now it is we'll known that
Mr.. Bynum's Resolutions were offered by way Of
amendment to Gen. Leach's Resolutions, which
were out and out for Distributions and that those
Democrats who voted for them, did so with the
hope of defeating the latter, and obtaining some
thing on the subject much less Objectionable. A
portion of the Democrats also preferred General
Saunders Resolutions to those of Gen. Leach. So
this effort of our Correspondent to shield Mr.. Ven
able from the consequences Of his vote for BENEFITS
bill, falls to the ground.
We shall not anticipate squandering of the
public lands, nor any system which will result il.
uriously to the old States and we will not do this
for the reason that we have full confidence in Gen.
Pierce. We believe he will see that Justice is done
to all. 1t will be time enough, when he shows
disposition to yield this important question, to
go forward and claim part Of the splunder for
North Carolina. We stand with Gen. Pierce on
the Baltimore platform, and with the Democrats
of North Carolina on the State Revolution Of
1852; and we expect to maintain our position
whatever Mr.. Venable or his apologists may say
or do. ss.Ssstses

explain the reason why he has written to gentlemen
OF this District, whom he never saw, upon the sub

Mr.. Venabe beyond his merits, and trying to inure
Mr.. Lewis with the people of the District but the
gentleman and his avoite friend were caught in their
intrigue, and have been successfully exposed
Perhaps il is not known to all the persons of the
District that Mr.. Venaole got Mr.. Cooke in an office
under the government, and hence Mr.. G. is willing
to oblIge Mr.. Venable in whatever he may suggest,
for the promotion of his election. This is the true
reason of Mr. C.'s writing the letters to men with
whom he was unacquairted, and not the slender one
which he has seen fit to set forth in his ProcIama
ion." The said Mr.. Cooke refers to only one letter
whereas it has been shown that he wrote to two or
thee gentlemen. who came to Mr.. Lewis and said
they were not acquainted with the gentleman either
by character or personally, and asked Mr.. Lewis if
he was-he said he was not. Now, Mr.. Lewis did
not take copy Of the letters, but the gentlemen
gave him their names to for the purpose of vim

H We learn that Mr.. Lewis has repeatedly
proposed to Mr.. Yenable plans to settle the I'M
pleasant difficulty in this District. Among Others
he has proposed that one Democrat should be Sc
lected from each of six Counties of the District by
Mr.. Venable and himself; that thesesix Democrats
should be empowered to take the matter in hand
and arrange it, SO as to secure the election Of
Democrat; and that if unable TO agree, they should
call in seventh man, from the other. County.
But we learn that Mr. VenabIe has refused to agree
to this as well as to all other psitions, declar-
ing that he will run through, whatever the result
may be- He thus attempts to set himself above
his party, above organization, and above every in
iuence calculated to restore harmony.

H We think if we were TO try,w could guess
the reason why the Live CRATE which PROCESSES
to be a neutral paper, has come out for Mr.. Ven
able. The " animal has long neck, but it is BY
means certain that in this case, it will be able
to reach the provesder.
The Giraffe is the only newspaper in North

The " lion is alone, and so . j is the Giraffe. ?
1t was settled principle with both Gen Jack

w In 1916 the lamented William H Ha,

EY- In 1916 the lamented William II, Hay-
wood, Jr., then Senator in Congress, declined to
violate Democratic principle, but resigned his
seat and came home. He left an august place
before he would vote against his party and yet
for this he fell at once as public man, and that
too, though he had performed signal and most
important service in preceding years, and was
justly regarded of the first men who ever
graced and honored, by his intellect and virtues,
the annals of his native State Mr. Venable vioZat-
ed principle held to has seat and is now endeav
orIIg, by denunciation and sophistry,. to be re-
turned to Congress ) and yet we find those who
joined in condemning Mr.. Hay wood-his superior
in every respect sustaining Mr.. " and urging his
reelection.
Again, the Hon. Edward Burke, of New Hamp-
SHIRE, ventured recently to move Resolution in
the New Hampshire State Convention requesting
the President to adopt different rule in making
his ppointnents-ventured, not to violate princi-
pie but to protest in a simple matter of policy and
tactics and for this he has fallen forty fathoms
down. We regretted it, but so it is. He exbib-
tied an ambitious and selfish spiit-threw himself
in the way of FRANK PIERCE and the Democracy
and the result is as we have stated it. Let Mr.
Venable take warning. A party which could not
sustain MIR. Haywood in what he did, and which
struck the author of " BundeIcundn from political
existence for the fault referred to- will scarcely make
an exception in case where principle is scofed
at and organization attempted to be trampled
down.

Disturbance In Cincinnati.

In the Cincinnati Un,on of Monday morn
ing, we find the following account Of aserious
disturbance 10 that city on Sunday evening,
The "Freemen," we believe. are a German
Society Of the Red Republican order. and
are understood to be quite numerous in Gin
cinnali:
Last night, about eleven o'clock. the
watchmen on duty at Ninth street Station
House, having received Information that the
Freemen's Society were an their way to
Bishop Purcells' house, for the purpose Of
committing some act of violcnc, on NJ. Bedini,
the Nuncio of the Pope; they repaired to the
corner Of Ninth and Plum, and met body of
tome 1000 men, armed with clubs, swords,
knives, pistols, &c., and carrying torches-7;o
burn the church, ropes TO hang the Nuncio,
and all in great state of excitement
They were promptly met by the police,
and after a short melee, were finally spres-
ed, the police succeeded in making some fifty
or sixty arrests.
Henry Carroll, gaichman in the Second
Ward, was shot through the thigh, by one oI
the rioters, and many others made narrow
escapes
From those arrested it was learned that
they had met. organized, armed. and formed
into procession, for the express purpose o.
h0nging M Dedini., the Nuncio OF The Pope

lfit had not been stopped at the time il
was, the consequences might have been in,

ain the confusion attending il, it was
almost impossible to CLEAN any reliable in,
formation from any one. The general opinion
however, was that they would return and
make an attack on the watch house for the
purpose of rescuing those arrested. In the
event Of such an attempt the bloodshed must
be great, as the police were all armed and
waiting for the attack. f

Trouble in New York.

A great excitement prevails in New York
city, probably originating in Gavazzi's anti
Catholic preaching. A preacher named Par
sons held forth in the east side Of the city on
the lllh inst, causing the acsemblage Of q
crowd Of 10000 persons. The Catholics be-
comning enragod, tlie Mayor apprehended
riot and had tie preacher arrested.
The excitement Gtill continuing at fever
heat, Bishop Hughes on the l5lh addressed a
long letter to the Catholics urging them to
keep quie: ard shun street preachers, and
says much tha. is very commendable.

Piles his iujunetions with an intimation Of the
existence of conspirancy against the civil
and religious rights and privileges Of the
Catholics. an intimation inexcusable in the
absence of proof, and lily adapted to al!ay
the excitement among the Catholics.
On the 10Th. the Mayor thought it neecs
saIy to issue his proclamation, accompanied
by the Law against street preaching. 1t is t,
be hoped that nothing deplorable may grow
out of it.
