"MARRIED YESTERDAY" Everyday in the jour-

in our portals, we read this little sentence! "Mar-

and constancy during all the hours that yet to

Each day some new marriage crown is put on, and

in the fairy set where Loves hand has trained the
honeysucles, the latticed porch, and placed
Eolian Tyres in all the easements

gold shining now amid the flowers that fringe Loves
pathway, and stars cleaning like great chandeliers
in the armament of Hope. There are harps tinkline
now, whose melody is sweeter than the sound of even
ing BELLS and joys falling like shower of amethysts
upon the hearts that yesterday wed. Life now
is become beautiful the soul scars upward from the

nressrs. Bragg and poel.ery at Charlotte.


We seldom or never publish partzan statements
or accounts OF discussions between candidates. and
we know that the public are generally, and perhaps
Justly, suspicious of such We have seen, however,
a private letter from gentleman who was delegate
to the Charlotte Conventions received by re!a-
tive in this place, which partakes nothing of the
eectionecrng character-was never intended for the
public eye-and is chiefly devoted to private mat
tiers. From it we are permitted to made the follow
ing extract:

tween Mr. Bragg and Gen. Dockey, than with any

These are the private and candid opinions of ar

political views with himself, and with no object but
to convey truthful impression of things as they
appeared TO him. We confess that we prefer then
greatly to the excited stories gotten up for news

as they agree perfectly with the accounts given by

Awful SnnartnCSs.

Under the heading of Extraordinary Despatch"
the Herald OF yesterday talks as tooshy as is pos
sibIe for paper to talk, about the handbl printed
and distributed in Brunswick county, intended 10
keen before the people the fact that after having
been ably advocated by Mr. Ashe, the bill, making
an appropriation Of hundred and forty thousand
dollars for the Cape Fear Bar had passed the House
Of REPRESENTATIVES. on the 10th inst by vote OF Ii
TO o. and that, consequently the charges of nett-
cheney preferred by Gen. Dockery and his party
friends against Mr. Ashe, and the Democratic party,
were without foundation in fact, and contradcted by
the event and the records Of Congress-
The Herald seems at loss to understand how a
handful could be printed to the order of Democrats
Of Brunswick county setting forth these facts on the
day the news was received here. 1t says: "HoW the
Democrats of Brunswick, thirty miles off, could hear
of the passage of the Bill etc Now, bless your
heart Brunswick is not thirty miles, nor three miles
off But did ii never strike the Herald as possible
that Democrats of Brunswick might be in Whining
ton at the time as was actually the fact, and that
one of them did actually ard truly get the handbils
and carry them to Brunswick county
Again. did II never strike the Herald that if the
case had been diferent-if we had actually printed
and sent off the handbls ourselves eur own hook
we would never have dreamt OF making any
mystery about it. The handful don't contain a
word or thought that has not been printed ana INSIST
ed upon in our paper, and that VIII not be further
insisted upon and we would take pleasure in adopt
ing every honorable means to combat erroneous I'M
pressions where we knew that an effort was made tC
create them for electioneerlng purposes The facts
about the handbillaTe however we have stated then
above Perhaps if the Herald will make dlligent en-
quiry, it may discover the particular Democrat who
was in town and got the bills. 1t will afford yalu
able exercise for that spirit of investigation which
has already been so successful in hunting up mares
nests.
Talking of electioneerinS publications, why is it
when the Herald is so anHousy enquring into the
nature of the work done in job o.ce, that it says
nothing about certain speeches of a certain Congress
man-Brown of Mississppi--sald to have been print
ed at the Herald Office for Mr.. Russell, the Whis
candidate in Brunswick and intended for circulation
during the campaign, and actually circulated by tina
gentleman?
