Hon. James C. DObbin.

This gentleman passed through Raleigh on Thurs
d,y last, on his way to Fayetteville. On Thursday
morning the "Oak-City Guards" and the INDIE
psnient Guards of this City, called upon him at
tie Yarbrough House, for the purpose of showing
their respect aad affection for him as man and as
an honored citizen of the State. He was addressed
handsome terms by Capt. DeCarterett, and he re-
sonded briefly but feelingy, thanking them for the
compliment thus paid him.
During Mr.. Dobbns brief stay with us, he was
vaited upon by many of our citizens without dis
tiaeiion Of party, who were glad to see him and
anxious to take him by the hand.
Mr. Dobbn, we learn, will be absent from his
post for severa! weeks-an absence rendered almost
absolutely necessary by his close application to
business and his arduous labors during the recent
session of Congress. That his health may be fully
sud speedily restored, is the earnest wish Of the
Whole people Of his native State.

EDUcATIoNAL.-We learn from the New Orleans
papers, that the Right Rev. Leondas Polk, Episcopal
Bishop of Louisiana has recently addressed letter
to the Bishops of the Episcopal Church in Tennes-
see Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, MISSISSIPPI
pi, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina, on
the proprety of forthwith establishing, on broad
and enduring foundation at point central and &C.
cessible to the States named, an Educational Jnsti
tuition, which shall proyde the amplest means for
instruction. as well in academical as in theological
learning. The necessity for such an institution is
most clearly shown by Bishop Polk. Taking into
consideration the present state of feeling at the
North relative to the South-a state of feeling which
nowhere manifests itself bitterly in its seats Of
learning-we heartily concur with the Bishop in the
belief that such institution should at once be
tablished. The New Orleans Daily True Delta
says:
"The facts and arguments which Mr. Polk has combined
in his letter. favorable this noble project must convince
every friend of human intelligence and human progress OF
its expedency They WILL doubt not have their weight
not only with the reverend gentlemen to whom they
addressed but with the of feiowctzens OF the
Episcopal Church in the States referred to. When the
Conference to which it proposed to submit this PROPOSE
tion shall have taken it into Consideration the result
feel assured will be the initiation of system of education
harmonizing with the habits feelings and Institutions OF
the South which will fulfill all the requirements of an en-
lghtened age and Intelligent people, and emapcpae US
from control which the North has long and
ipuriously exercised the minds of our youth"

A PROPOSED BET OF $1,000.

Mr. EDITOR: The Know Nothing party, not sat

to brag, boast, and to make propositions to bet on
the Presidential election. l have determined to af
ford to such desire to wager their money on the
election of Fillmore an opportunity to back their
judgments or to crawfish. will bet 5000 that Mr.
Buchanan will be elected the next President of the
United States 800 that he will carry the State of
North Carolina by majority of 10000 votes 5000
that Fillmore will not get five States; 5000 that he
will not get three Southern States; 800 that he
not carry single State in the Union; 800 that

Where is the Denocrahc newspaper or speaker who
does not impress upon the publiothat Mr. Fmore is
bad or worse than Fremontf s Fdy. Observer.
We know of no Democratic newspaper or speak
er who is pursuing the indicated BY the OBJ
server 1t is true, Mr.. Fillmores record on the
slavery question: while in Congress- is as objection
able as that of Seward or Giddings but even that
is not held up against him except by way of set-o
against false charges on the same subject made
against Mr.. Buchanan. No Southern Democrat, so
far as we know, charges that "Mr. Fillmore is as
bad or worse than Fremont" All Southern men feel
that Mr. Fmore's election would not, in ITSELF de.
stroy the Union while all Southern men feel that
the election Of Fremont would be the sure precur-
ser Of dissolution, and probably of civil war;
The prominent points of difference between Mr..
Buchanan and Mr.. Fillmore, are these LIST. Mr..
Buchanan is sounder on the slavery question than
Mr. Fillmore is. The records of the two men tri-
umphantly prove this to be so. I'd. Mr.. Buchanan
was nominated and s sustained by great national
party-a party holding the principles and
breathing the same sentiments in Portland and in
New Orleans. Mr.. Fillmore was nominated by
portion only of his party, and is supported in one
section on the ground of having favored the repeal of
the Missouri restriction, and in the other on the
ground of opposition to such repeal. Sd. Mr.. Bu-
chanan is confessedly stronger before the people,
North and South than Mr.. Fillmore is. His friends
can claim, with absolute certainty, at least fifteen
States whereas, the friends of Mr. Fillmore cannot,
with certainty, claim one.
The Observer adds further
How many Democrats there among your neiglbors
who would vote for Fillmore to defeat Fremont? How
many Americans would do the same for Buchanan?'
We know of many Democrats "who would vote
for Fillmore to defeat Fremont" And We know of
many Americans who will vote for Buchanan to
defeat Fremont. There are thousands of such
" Americans " and old line Wings in this State, as
the election in November will show. But the ques-
ton is-not what couM you, but what aciW you do
The Observer has put all impossible case. The
test is between Buchanan and Fremont and every
vote, therefore, which shall. be cast for Mr. Fillmore,
will to that extent weaken Mr.. Buchanan and aid
the black Republican candidate the most that the
friends of Mr. Fillmore hope to effect is to car
~ the election to the House of Representatives.
That body is divided thus: Ten States are Demo-
cratic three States are Know Nothing; thirteen
States black Republican; and five States d.
vided Three Know Nothing States, then, are ex-
pected to elect President for the thirty States
that is the calculation. But are not the chances
in the House clearly in favor Of the black Republic
canse And yet Mr.. Fimore's friends are reduced
to the alternative of appealing to black Republi-
can House to elect their candidate!
