Besides he denounced during the canvass,
many old and influential members OF the party
as ..bogus democrats" ii is not to be wondered
al, then, that he was beaten.-Wten conven-
:ions to accomplish fac,ious purposes, bring
out men of tainted integrity, they must expect
10 see them beaten. The people will not be
dra gooned into the support Of men and measur'
es they dislike. Sample was beaten because
his nomination did not suit the democracy OF
Lee county !; and it is to be hoped that future
conventions there may see the error OF the last
one and not attempt 10 bring him forward again
He is evidently fac,ious dlsorgonizer, and no
true democrat, and as such he is generally held
bv those who know him. 1t is tempting defeat
to bring out such men.-[S State Gazette.

forehead, dark brown hair, large gray eyes 1
small Roman nose, and mouth indicative o

power Of intellect
As an orator he has few if any eqnels in the

THE Rior AT NAwARK Wether any Ca
thOlic or Catholics did or did MT throw stones
al the laie Protestant procession in Newark, we
leave to be determined by the searching iud cial
inquiries which will Of course be promptly in
stlu.ed That there are nominal Catholi
stupid enough, foolish enough, bigoted enough,
ruf6anly enough, TO commit such an outrage, is
doubtless true; and not less true is it that there
are self styled Pro.estants deb2sed enough u
throw those stones themselves in order to fus.
ten the blame Of their crime on the Catholics
and excite the mustered thousands to riot and
outrage. On whonsoe yer the blame Of having
'nc,ed the recen, outrage, shall rest, the truth
should be demonstrated beyond cavil.
But, whoever may have thrown those stores,
We hold il already settled that they were NOT
thrown from the Catholic church which fell a
victim to the fury they engendered, and that no.
preparations for assault upon the procession had
been made ther in That church stands fairly
exculpated frota all offrnse, and It's devastation,
is an unprovoked and shameful outrage, which
reflects great discredit on Newark and on belli-
yerant Protestanism. And il is worthy of note
that VIII le this is the fifth or 8 xti Catholic

the statement published in the Express yester :

the statement, from the sanie paper which gave
it currency. 1t is not often tha. we quote from
