TEST OF SrNcERITY.-It is we'll known that the
K N. leaders of this State during the last Summer,
were most emphatic in their declarations that their
organization was neither Whig nor Democratic
that it for the best and soundest men for Office
and for the country, without regard to party Their
party, they affirmed, constructed from the ruins
of the two old parties; and burying and forgetting
the past they pledged themselves to act with eye
single to the public good. Well, what has been the
course of their three Representatives in Congress,
Messrs. Puryear Paine, and Reade? They must
have perceived during the first week of the session,
the impossibility of electng national Know Moth
ing to the Speakership and that the contest was,
therefore, between Mr.. Banks the abolitionist, and
Mr. Richardson, the Democratic candidate. They
know too that Mr.. Richardson is sound on the great
question ofslavery-a question involving everything
sacred and valuable to their constituents. Why,
then, have they not voted for him? Is not the req
son to be found in the fact that he is Democrat?

message and Reports from the several Departments
The message has not been put in print and will not
be until it has been read in both Houses ~
The whole delegation from North Carolina, both
IN the Senate and House of Representatives, WAS
present on the first day of the session. The Demo.
cracy of the Old North may now be congratulated
that both of her Senators and majority of herre.
presentatives in the House are members Of the De.
mocralic psrty, making good her claim to place in
the Democratic column of States Her politi-
cal position is fixed for the future. Our psople
do not change their opinions political associations
hastily; the sober second thought has been ut
work and the result is apparent in both houses of
Congress The fact that the young and rising men
OF North Carolina, who are gaining position and in
fuence every day, are the champions of Democrat
ic principles gives of the reliability of the
change wrought within the last six or seven years
For ability, marked integrity and uprightness of
character, and firm adherence to the doctrines Of
State Rights and the true Interpretation Of the Con-
sttufion, the Democratic portion of the delegation
from North Carolina yields to that from no other
State; they reflect honor upon the State they repre-
sent, and upon the party Of which they are mem.

Candidates being Mr.. Cobb, Of Georgia, and MIR.

plurality of two-his vote being 1O2, and MIR: Win

THE CALDRON AT WASHINGTON.

The great Know Nothing and Fusion cadron at
Washington was boiling and bubbling up all sorts
of things at the latest dates A correspondent of
the New York Herald, writing under date the 7th
says:
"All sorts of intrgues for the Speakership are
on foot tonight Banks count almost noses
enough to elect him, but not quite.
A meeting of the Americans was called last night
thirty attended. Walker, of Alabama, offered a
resolution endorsing the 18th section and all the
slavery policy. Etheridge, of Tennessee, the
first to oppose it, saying he willing the North
men should have a spot to breathe on well as
Southern. Paine, of North Carolina, opposed it al
so. Havens, of New York, doubted its expcdiency
Walker then tlared up, and said he should
to himself the right to publish the resolutions with
the fact that they were presented to an American
meeting and rejected. Paine and others deniud
Walkers right to do So Great excitement follow

necticut; and others, withdrew in disgust Hum
phrey Marshall said he had rot been put up to be
treated he had becn and that every little whip.

the place; that he was put up TO be beaten by Rich
ardson and to drive the black republicans over to
Richardson's support. 1t proposed to nominate
a candidate whom the black republicans could not
support. AS they came out, Whitney Of New Y ork,
declared the whole thing id farce"
Thirty K. Ms out of 234 members of the House,
engaged in giving repose to the country, and in

thirty adherents among all the K. N. members of
the House. Where is Mr.. Walk, of New York !?
He. it appears, is tolerably sound OH the slavery
question, and he deserves credit for it. He is K.

in the last resort against his Order Is he tile only

PROSPECTS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

FhoorECIS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
The opponents ofthe democratic party-the know
nothngs and black repubcans-(says the Louis
vile 1smeO seem to think that all that is necessary
to defeat the democracy in 1885, is to unite the op-
position brief recurrence to the elections of 1856
will show how fallacious is the hope. During the
last summer and fall the following States have gone

Total, IA 1890
1t requires but one hundred and forty.nine cleo
toral votes. The States enumerated give within
five of that number. That the follow ng States will
certainly vote democratic, will be readily admitted
by any sensible man:
Electoral Votes
Arkansas,
South Carolina, 8
Missouri,
Florida, 3
Total, "a
1t will thus be that there are enough electo-
raj votes, and nineteen to spare, to elect the demo-
cratic candidate, without counting New Hampshire,
Iowa, and Michigan, in which the chances of the
democratic party better than those of any other
party.
Conceding New York to the know .nothings, al
though the democratic party, if united, certainly
have the power to carry it, they have carried the
following States:
Electoral Votes.
New York, 35
Kentucky, IL
California,
Maryland, 8
Massachusetts, 18
Total p
Two States, Ohio and Vermont, casting twenty
eight electoral votes have voted for the republicans
1t will thus be seen that in 1855 we have beaten
both parties united in enough States to carry the
election in 1856. Any changes that may take place
between this and November, So very sure to
be changes in favor of the democratic party
