How far the Pro-Slavery Know Nothings Of
the South are justified in relying on the coopera-
sion of the mass Of Northern men who have al
owed themselves to be enlisted in the Order,
may be judged from the following declaration
made at the late Republican State Convention in
Maine, by Mr. Il. G.. Lincoln, who spoke In be-
half of the body of the Order in that State:

Railroad Meeting at Beatty,s Bridge.

There is to he meeting of the citizens of New
Hanover and Bladen AT Beatys Bridge, in the latter
county, on Saturday next, the object of which is to
secure subscriptions to the Capital Stock of great
Western Railroad. The desire of the citizens of that
section is to have the Road cross the Black River at
or above Beatty's Bridge, by the adoption of which
route large and productive section of country would
be accommodated, and it is believed, without any
serious deviation from the most direct and feasible
line for any road starting from the town of Whining
ton, as it 10 be the general wish that should
start 1t is eminenty desirable that as many of our
citizens who are acquainted with such matters and
feel an interest in them should be present possible
to consult with their friends in the upper portion Of
this county and the lower portion of Baden 1t is a

Beag~ The Wilmington Herald of Wednesday makes

Beas~ The Wilmington Herald of Wednesday makes,
usual, some very strange assertions, one of which,
totally unsupported by proof is that majority of the
voters of the the town have seconded the motion of
g Sam for an exclusive K. n ticket for any local
Office. At municipal election has SAM with all
his means and appliances, been able to bring ma
orty of the voters of the town up to the polls for
the support of his nominations, and his has
mainly depended upon the absence of organized op-
position AS regards the defeated ticket for Commits
soners of Navigation, it knows much as we do,
that is to say the of the gentlemen it, and
these did not know until the copy for the tickets
was brought to be printed, nor do know anything
about exertions made to secure its success, as we
happened to have left town the day before We re-
peat, feel authorized in saying that in future the
case will be different We say this is expressing the
feelings to those independent citizens who will M
longer remain passive under the unheard of dctatior
of the mouthpeces of the invisible hero of dark Ian
terns-the redoubtable " Sam "-men who dare (tha
is the word believe) men who dare act openly TO
themselves. 1t is in the interests of independent
| out-spoken citizens, Wings and Democrats, that W.
feel authorized to say what we have said Will i
be demanded of them too, as it was of the Clinton
Convention, how they dare act? Upon what mea
hath this, our Caesar, been feeding, that he SHOULD
use such expressions to free citizens of North Caro-

Smith O'Brien.


The London Morning Advertiser of April 23d has
strong article recommending the entire removal Of
the ban of exile from VIM Smith O'Brien It ex-
presses lis disgust at the perseverance with which
British ministers visit their Indignation upon the head
of of the few honest men this age of expedency

that at this moment, when England is hurryng
oally INTO perlls which year ago would have ap-
peared lmpossibilites, could see as pure and ear
nest patriotism on this side of the channel as that
tor which William Smith O'Brien is an exile
The Advertiser then goes on to inform MS that q
petition for the removal of the sentence passed upon
that gentleman is in of signature that it has
been signed by several members of the House of
Peers and by nearly 100 members of the House OF
Commons, and many magnates of political life The
hope is expressed that the disgrace will be removed
from England of prosecuting man whose sole Of
fence was that he loved his country not wisely per-
haps, but certainly well.
The London Journalist thinks that the cause for
which OBrien suffered, is so hopeless now that his
presence in Ireland would not be the cause of any
difficulty Irsland,' says the Advertiser, 'unfortu-

advisable to run the ship ashore, which accord
ingly done a smooth sandy beach, selected for

she could be got off. After detention of two days,
the passengers, mails and treasure transferred

passengers in good health.

WHAT AN IDEA.-A gentleman yesterday suggested
to us the propriety of saying something about the
Hard Times" Now, we publish newspaper,
with sprnklng of politics, and we can't say that
g Hard Times" comes under either caption. If we
could learn the name of the place to whose nhabi-
tants the cry of Hard Times" would be 1eaUs then
we might think it worth while talking about, or If
any man could run as the candidate of party beyond
the reach Of the aforesaid &c Hard Times" he would
be at no loss for followers and supporters but all
these things 60 for nothing, we see no use in talking
about them. We can only grin and bear, and bear
and grin. The unfavOrable season, so far is greatly
against u.s. for the terrible price OF keeping soul and
body together greatly aggravates the pressure and
the short crop of last Yearno doubt lies at the bot

so far at least is not good If we have another short
crop this year the Lord knows what will happen.

SENATOR WILSON DENOUNCEs THE AMERICAN PARTY.
"Gen Wilson gave the closing lecture of the anti
slavery course last evening, at the Temple. He
explained for himself the position with regard to sa-
very that he had occupied for twenty years, and
called upon all to oppose any party that should try TO
smother the anti-slavery sentiment. He assumed
that this had been the death of the two great
parties, and must be Of the other party forming
He said th'S party peralomS to the anti saueTu
sentiment, and called upon the antslavery party to
kill off the american dough faces as they had the
others"
Now, the truth is, that Senator Wilson never made
any such speech, nor did the Boston Telegraph ever
report his having done SO, as the following extract
from that redoubtable paper will clearly show:
"' But object in writing this article was not to
discuss the comparative unworthness of Wilson and
Sumner but congratulate the American party upon
the welcome intelligence that has reached us of the
abandonment of their ranks by this man Wilson
The Boston Telegraph is frstrate authority on this
point for it is the Abolition organ of Massachusetts,
and special admrer of Wilson What will the
antiAmericans of the Wise school say to the follow
ing refreshing and cheering announcement? We
give it TO them morsel to roll under their
tongue"
Here is inserted the above extract
/ g Let it be remembered by the people of Virginia
that Senator Wilson has within the last ten DAVIS
publicly proclaimed in Boston that the Amer,can
party perlo to the GnttsldUery sentiment! Put
this in your pipes and smoke it at your leisure We
devotees of Henry A. Wise !"
"Gen. Wilson has neuer made amy such declaration
aboue attributed to him, and the extract artich is
credtedto the Boston Telegraph neuer appeared in
this paper until not0."
ls any comment needed :?
As for Governor Gardner, it is enough to say that
