ONE OF THEN.

The Boston Post gives the following sketch of
Ralph Metcalf the Know Nothing candidate for
Governor of New Hampshire:
'Raph Metcllf much opposed to secret
societies. that he anti-Nlason in the crusade
against that venerable and respectable institution,
Frcemasonry. He is now the Know Nothing candi-
date for Governor of New Hampshire. We appeal
to the editor of the Albany Journal particularly, if
there be any lover depth CT degradation for the
politician than that which this know nothing anti
slavery temperance candidate has dived into. One
little month ago he was respectable democratic
supporter Of the compromises. the fugitive law and
the Nebraska act, and staunch and practical oppo-
ncnt of laws against liquor and other sumptuary
laws. "
We believe Mr.. Fillmore, who is regarded, and VIC
suppose truly, as prominent Know Nothing began
his political career, and to a seat in the Legsla
ture of New York by his opposition to Freemasonry
Aetcaf is supported for Governor of New Hamp
shire by John p Hale and all the other unprincipled
advocates of isms in that State And yet this squire
and patriotic array" according to the Wilmington
Commercial, is to the Union!

These things go TO prove what we have frequently
said, to be true, viz: that nothing the
Union but the American Organization and it is
doubtful if even that pure and patriotic array
do it. WI. Commercial
The Union of the States and the liberties of the
people depend them upon the action of secret, ir
responsible political association! 1t was just SUI CHI
'array" that composed the Jacobin Clubs of Pa
ris, and overwhelmed the French Republic in an
archy and blood.

by who contend for an antslavery Constitu-

The Catholics in this State very few, and
those Who have had opportunity of knowing
them personally, and haveslearned their tenets only
through the medium of their enemies, cannot be
much blamed for crediting the most ridiculous false
hoods. 1t has been asked, whether the allegiance
of Catholics to the Pope be spiritual only, and the
learned gentleman from Halifax has unquestionably
shown that they do not owe him Grill allegiance.
Sir object IN toto to the term allegiance as char
acterizing the connection between the Catholic and
the Chief Bishop of his Chrch. owe no allegiance
to any man set of men earth, save only to the
State of North Carolina, and, far she has part
ed with her sovereignty, to the United States of
America. The charge that Catholics owe allegiance
to the Pope, is chOlly false.

JOHN McRAE, Chairman

j. r. Blossom,

t We make the following extract from a letter
from friend at Old Town, Forsyth in relation to
gross neglect on the part of the driver and stage
contractor contractors that line. We trust the
Inconvenience complained of will be speedily
died:
sold Town, Feb. 81, 1855.
The citizens of this place and vicinity think them
selves imposed on very much by a reckless stage
driver and his advisers, if any, He has been driv-
ing from Salem on the Wythevi!le route, perhaps
far as Toms Creek for some three four weeks,
most of the time Intoxicated at one time without
ma from Salem and on last Friday particularly he
saw proper to keep the Plank Road, which runs
some half mile from this office, and passed Old
Town, went 10 Bcthania, the next Office, and when
asked why he did not stop at Old Town he said he
too heavily loaded. So did not get papers at
this office until the stage returned from Wythcville to
Salem. We cannot put up with this. There is much
mail matter for this any other Office Ont. Airy
cepted,l between Salem and w ythevillc. Some twen-
yve of your subscribers have their papers sent to
this office; and the Fridays mall if delivered would
bring us the most interesting matter. Old Town is
directly the Road from Salem to Bcthania, and
just six miles from Salem, where a Posofiice has
been kept for fifty years. This section of country
is thicky settled, people reading people,
and entitled fair mai! facilities If treated in
this way, they will, however, be compelled to stop
their papers, for they realize benefit from
them, being thus cut off from mail communication"
We would suggest TO friends at Old Town,
well as at other points where just of COM
plant may exist, to insist in such cases that the
postnastcrs shall promptly report the facts to the
Department at Washington and if the postmaster
postnastcFs should decline to do So let them
port the facts directly to the Department. that
efficient steps may at once be taken to require both
postmasters and contractors to perform their duty.
