"WATcHMAN WHAT OF THE NIGHT ?n-We arc
constantly receiving the most cheering accounts of
our Candidate and his prospects from all parts of
the District. The Democracy are rallying as one
man, in support of BRANCH in all the Counties,
and right worthy is he of Democratic support. He
is noble champion, intelligent, well posted, bold,
fearless, and independent, worthy leader in a wor-
thy cause. In Wake our enemies making every
effort to carry the Metropolitan County, but recent
indications show without any prospect of success.
Raleigh, in which the Know Nothings pretend there
is monstrous clique of Democracy will give an in
creased majority to the Dark lanterns" but this
majority will be more than counterbaanced by the
free and untrammeled Democracy of the County of
Wake. In Orange, the land of that good old Patri-
arch of Democracy, Genl Allison, and of the mag
unanimous Jones' all is we'll. Johnston, too, is ready
with her arms FURNISHED and bright, for the day of
battle. In Granville the residence of the inteec-
tual Venablc who is now at home and ready to meet
any Know Nothing gladiator that may dare to enter
the arena against the lion of Democracy, pros
poets are bright and frightening. In Franklin, in
whose county seat the "dark lanterns" held their
secret conclave, preparatory to the offering up of
Shepard as sacrifice to the Moloch of party, we
learn upon the most undoubted authority that Mr.
Branch is gaining ground every day. and must carry
the county by increased Democratic majority.
Nash, glorious Old Nash, the banner county of the
District and the land of the Arringtons and the
brakes, rests securely and at ease, confident in her
Democratic strength but ready, when the tocsin
sounds on the first Thursday in August, to spring
like the lion from his lair, and pounce upon the slip
perry foe. She will crush with relentless fury the
monster OF Know NothlnglSm. And w arrcn, too,
our own much loved Warren is to day ready for the
strife" eager for the fray" The land of the la
mented Macon, and Turner, whose venerated princi-
pies are assaed by this enemy in disguise, will
never soil her garments with the foul embrace of
religious tyranny, Her Edwards and her Thornton,
her Eaton and her Pritchard, her Jenkins, and
host of other gallant and nvincble (but not inuisi
6t spirits scattered throughout her borders stand
ready clad in full armor TO drive back the invader
to his native home. Democrats, be of good
cheerl Our District and our State are safe by an
overwhelming majority The Old North State will
take her position in the Democratic line side by side
with Virginia, and with her be found at all times
ready and willing to do die" in defence of the
liberties and the Constitution Of the Country. But
let as put forth all our strength. Let no Democar-
tic vote be lost in this eventful crisis of our Coun-
try history. Let every Democrat go to the polls,
and see that his neighbor goes and votes Let us
make long pull, strong pull and pull altogether,
and, glorious triumph awaits US. Let the Democ-
racy rally to the Polls
Let them the winds come, when forests
ded;
Let them come the come when navies sran
died.. War. NeaOs.
