It isa fact not to be disguised that the spirit of
Democracy is rife throughout the land. 1t has pos
session of the Executive Government of the United
States controls bct., Houses Of Congress and nearly
all the State Legislatures and holds the sword Of the
nation in one hand and the purse in the other.
North Carolina -irgus.
And it is fact equally apparent that the country
is enjoying unexampled prosperity-the laws are re-
spected, and the fugitive-s!ave law is faithfully
forccd-the revenues Of the government arc fully
equa! to all demards-the public debt is being rapid
ly reduced, and will soon be extingushSd-the
farmers getting better prices than ever before for
their produce and indeed, under the influence of
this spirit of Democracy all interests are fostered
and Southern rights shielded and protected as
they never have been under Federal or Wing rule.
The Republic goes forward with gigantic strides to
the consummstion Of its glorious destiny; North
Carolina is prospering beyond all former example,
cducatona'ly, agriculturally, and fnancally-her
roads, both rail and plank, arc going .orward-her
rivers arc being improved and her mineral resources
developed; and we can sec no occasion, the Argus
affects to do to mar ell this at least place it III
jeopardy, by crusadng for a Federal candidate fer
the Presidency, for Gen. Alfred Dockery for Gov
crnor of this sovereign State
