Our Candidates.

We call upon every opponent Of the Liquor
Traffic in Wake county, to rally to the sup
port of the Reform Ticket to be found at the
head of our Editorial columns to-day. Rally,
too, with an enthusiasm bent on success, and
the day will be ours. We verify believe there
is a decided majority of the Voters Of Wake
county-and certainly of the Freeholders-
who are osnSsaeed that a decided Reform is
necessary, in order to protect community
from the mighty evils which now infest So
ciety through this agency. Fathers mourn
the degradation and ruin of sons at the Ii
quor shop ;-masters suffer the loss of prop
erty through the corrupting influence of IL
qIor-sellers who ruin the honesty Of slaves
and finally turn them upon their owners mis-
cradle rogues and wrecked and bloated mas
ses of putrefaction and disease. We venture
the assertion that a loss of not less than one
million of dollars a year is sustained BY Wake
county through the liquor traffic, by the rob
berries committed superinduced by the love
of strong drink acquired at low whiskey
shops, and by the loss of slaves who are eth
er killed outright or rendered worthless thro'
drunkenness. Masters barns, corn cribs,
smoke-houses and hen coops could make
some startling revelations, if endued with
the powers nfsneech. But the people know
this, and have long desired an opportunity to
present itself whereby they could speak out
their condemnation. Now a fine and fitting
opportunity is presented let them fail not
to avail themselves of it.
The gentlemen proposed are just as capa-
BILE of d~ischarging all the functions of Legis-
lators as any others presented to the people
they will be found honest and faithful in ev-
cry crisis of the session, and will reflect the
peoples will as well as others. Nothing
will be lost by their election, but much will
be gained for a just and righteous Reform.
We shall have much to say between this and
the day of election.

To Subscribers.

Some subscribers to our Paper have writ
ten to US at various tunes, that Postmasters
Of whQm. they receive their papers decline
the law allows, saying the reduced rates are
only allowable when paid at the Office where
the papers are mailed, and not where they
are received. The following letter from the
Post Office Department, at Washington, sets
that matter to rest. Any subscriber, by
paying Is cents in advance, can pay the
postage on the Age, to any Post Office in this
State, for one year from the time of making
said advance payment or 26 cents out Of
the State.

~ The last Legislature bid defiance to
the friends of Temperance. The fools are
not all dead yet" The i~ndignity offered in
December 80 only provoked a more sublime
and crushing exhibition of popular WILL
We s~hallSafways remember that Legislature
for its profundity Of intellect and its blister
ing wit, as we'll as to thank it for i~nfusing
a more spirited zeal on the part of Temper
ance men for the success of their principles.

PERSON CoUNTY.-The Convention held in
this County on the Goth ult., was one Of tho
most cheering and gratifying we have seen
noticed. The meeting was addressed by such
men as Hon. G.. Reade, Prof. Brooks, DIR.
Ihaxton and others, producing a sensation
OF the most salutary character. The Conven-
hon adjourned to meet on the 4th of July,
and we await the receipt of its proceedings
with much interest. We deem it unnecessa-
~ to publish the proceedings of the goth in
DETAIL as they are mostly preliminary to the
one held on the 4th. We shall expect a rood
report from Person county.
