Tuesday Morning, Dec. rs, 1855


ry-In accordance with a custom universally
observed, not only in North Carolina, Lut in all
other parts of the country, we shall omit the pub
lication of a regular paper the week of the hol-
DAYS We say ''regu.ar paper" because we shall
send out to all of our subscribers, on Tuesday
next a Bulletin containing a birds-eye view of
the most important events which have transpired
at home or abroad between this and that time
The Young gentlemen of our Office, after fifty
two weeks close labor, demand at this appropri-
ate time, little respite, to partake, in common
with the crest of mankind" of the enjoyments of
the season; and we could not, if we would, con-
troll their actions Already one has gone on a
visit to the parental roof in an adjoining county
Our Bulletin will contain such Advertisements
as their character make important to be before the
people at this time-and we will also insert any
new ones which may be handed in. The Bulle-
lin will be sent to all of our subscribers
We tender the compliments of the season to
one and all of our readers. May their happy an
tcipations be fully realised, and pleasure and en-
iovment attend their steps wherever they may
seek for them.

EDUCATION ALONE NO SAFE

We sometimes hear expressions which in
dictate very partial comprehension of hui
man character. Education is the panacea
for all ills, social, political, or moral
Educate the people, and all IS SAFE" say
some. Yes, if the whole man is educated,
his moral as well as his intellectual nature.
The education of the head without the heart,
is like sending vessel to sea with all sails
set, but destitute of rudder. 1t is like
putting fire under a locomotive, with no
track to guide a train. Germany is one of
the most scholarly nations on the globe
and one of the most atheistio. France a.
bounds with science, but France is the hot
bed of vice, and the nursery Of infdelity.-
With the Bible for its corner stone, the tenn
pie of learning cannot be carried too high,
without it the loftiest structure is little bet
ter than the tower of Babel.

TO WHOM TT May CONCERN.


The undersigned takes this method to
give notice that he has withdrawn from the
Order of Known othings, a secret political
society, sef-styled and miscalled ''Ameri-
cans" have always been Democrat,
but through the influence of some particu-
lar friends was induced to join the Order
alluded to. Finding that its principles do
not suit me, and as conceive they are such
as no real american" can advocate, can
no longer act with that party, but shall, from
and after this date, return to my first love,
the good old constitutional, patriotic, and
State Rights Democratic Party. ~
Mecklenburg Dec. 25. S. B. SMITH.
Notices like the above, and the following
we meet with daily in our exchanges. The
KnowNothing fabric is rapidly falling to
pieces-a matter of no wonder, as it has no
political principles to cement it together.
The ghost of the Pope of Rome and - turin
ers" has ceased to excite alarm. In the
last Ashville News, we find the following
Card:
Mr.. Atkin-Please allow me space to say
to the public that am no longer member
of the American party. Soon after
joined I became dissatisfied, and wished to
withdraw, but could not get them to hold
meeting and release me in proper form, as
they promised to do if l desired it. As 1
wish to be free man, with the privilege of
voting as l please, uncontrolled by any par
ty or set of men, / hereby rcnounce all al
legiance to, and connection with, the ''Ame-
rican" party.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.

The steamer Africa has arrived at New
York with Liverpool dates of Dec. 18th.
The only feature of news is that rumors
of peace in circumstantial form continue
to multiply. They seem however to rest on
no foundation, and their only effect has been
to advance the price of consols, which had
gone up to 9O5.
Cotton was quiet and unchanged. Sales
of the week $4,000 bales including IL 900
to spectators and exporters. Canal Flour

On our first page will be found some cx-

a settlement of difficulties has been made by
a promise on the part of the freesoilers to
deliver up those who have been burning
houses and committing other offences; but
this news needs confirmation.

THE WHO'S CHARGE.

We see nothing in the remarks of the last
"Whig' calling for comment five understand
that paper it has abandoned the charge that the
recent meetings to nominate candidates for town
officers, were contemporaries or ''grog' assem-
blages. Our object was to meet that charge; and
that accomplished, we deem it unnecessary to null
tiply words on the subject. The ticket is now be-
fore the people, composed of worthy and upright
citizens, in favor of any measure which they be-
ieve will advance the interests of the town, and
we doubt not they will be triumphantly elected.
Those who have objections to their election, let
them do as our Correspondent suggests: call a
public meeting, nominate an opposition ticket,
and let the voters decide the issue at the polls.
