CIRCULATE THE DOCUMENTS.

friend writes as follows from Randolph Coun
ty, under date August 26th
"Whilc We enjoying the calm after the storm
of political excitement, think it the best time to
prepare for the next campaign and as know there
is nothing we'll calculated to advance the cause OF
Democracy, and expose and put down. Know Moth
lnglSm your most valuable paper I send you
ten dollars for five copies of the Weekly, to be dis
tributed among my neighbors."
= Another friend writes follows, from Yadkin
County, addressing himself to the Editors and the
readers of the Standard:
NeSsrs. Editors, and Renders Of the Standard -
Since the election is over political discussion will be
apt to stop for a time. But is not the time to
work ? think it is The Democratic party prefer
working in the day; and now is time to effect a
mighty and glorious change for the country Truth
is lmmutable, justice is saving, and wisdom is pow
erfu The Know Nothngs are beaten, and if they
pursue their usual mode, they will start
ganization. But what they get up worse than
they have? This is my plan to head them, and pre-
vent deception Let every friend to the of his
country subscribe for some good political paper. that
will tell the truth and the whole truth whose
Editor will promptly defend his country from every
approach of danger-who will stand by the Consti-
tuition ct the United States, and defend section,
defend home institutions, and expose the Know
\Nothirgs in their present and future movements
Let US all take good paper, and get those opposed
to us to take one too and read and judge for them
selves. How often do find who are igno-
rant of what is going on in their own State, and
elsewhere. Ask them what the Legislature did
while in session, and what Congress is doing, and
they will answer, g don't know don't take the
papers, never NEEDLE with such things This
ought not to be. Now, suppose one of Sans de-
cciving and tricky disciples along and tells
such person that the Roman Catholics have in fact
taken New York, Philadelphia and viii be in Ra-
leigh before long-and that the Pope of Rome with
legion Of devils is on his way t" Washington City
and as soon as he arrives the President is :" give
him his big arm chair and then the Pope III burn

upon, is ready shoulder his gun but he is told
he need not do that-jnst join tie II. ". p/rfy, and
all will be right and enough, the thIcket he
goes, and is sworn Bible d he RomHn Cross
to vote for X. n, not vote all and he takes
these oathS to lrakc him Americdn-Cnd save the
State. Now all that is wanted is to get such per-
sons to subscribe for good paper and become in
formed. Then to them as to others. error will be
exposed and truth defended Now, I am convinced
that the Standard has done towards keeping
down and crushing out the Know N"thingS than any
paper in the State; not hut other papers have done
their full Share-but the K Ms are inst afraid of
the Standard as am of a Know Nothing. Then
let each subscriber procure at least five sub
scriber$ for the Standard. Now, this is small num-
Der; and if each will do this | will answer for
the balance. 1t is more than duty to
country to do this. And would say to others, who
are subscribers to other papers of like character
with the Standard, to ozark or their pnper. Let all
who take Northern papers stop Them and subscribe
to home papers.
BY following this plan a great and glorious work
can be effected. Let all try and see if can't
get Holden five subscribers by the first of DC
tober. We can, easily. Get many more as we
can, but not less than five.
