CABARRUS COUNTY.

A Democratic, Buchanan, breckenridge.
and Bragg Ratification rally will come off in
Cabarrus, at Concord, on Saturday next,
on which occasion, r. P. WARING, Esq,
our District Elector, will make his opening
speech for the campaign. Sam would do
well to draw on his thickest coat, for he is
destined to receive most awful thrashing.
By the way, our Elector met with an ac-
cident, a few days ago, which severely
burnt one of his arms. With flask filled
with powder, he was in the rear yard of his
dwelling, teaching his interesting and
sprightly little Juveniles, or ''ideas," show
TO shoot" when fire accidentally commune
Gated to the flask, while in his hand, pro-
ducing an explo sion which it s wonderful
was not more serious in its effects. This
statement will set right those who are I'M
der the impression that Mr.. w. received his
injuries, while firing salutes in his yard over
the GLORIOUS news from Cincinnati. His
first gun, in honor of that intelligence, will
be fired at Concord, on Saturday next.

THE CIVIL WAR IN KANSAS.

Civil war, with all its horrors, now RACES
in Kansas. On the night of the Sd the
abolitionists burnt the town of Bernard, a
pro-slavery settlement. Eight pro-slavery
men have been murdered on Pottowattomie
Greek, by party of free-state men. The
victims were horribly mutilated. Fifty
abolitionists attacked pro-slavery party
near Lawrence, and in the conflict several
men were wounded. In the neighborhood
of Bull Creek, the abolitionists have been
burning houses and driving away the
families of the pro-slavery settlers. Capt.
PATHS company went to a place called
Hickory Point, to suppress disturbances
there, and had two of his men killed.
Another fight occurred between some parties
near "Black jack" nine of the abolition
lists and thirteen of the pro-slavery men
were killed. among whom were Captain
PATHS and James MCGEE. On the Goth
ultimo, at Osawotomie, the pro-slavery men
seized free State man and hung him, when
his wife fed and aroused the neighbors to
the rescue. A fight ensued in which five
pro-slavery men, and two free State men
were killed. A party of some twenty free
soil men entered the house of a man named
Wilkinson, in Franklin county, and in spite
of the entreaties of his wife, dragged him
out of his bed and brutally murdered him.
They then proceeded to the house of an
old man named Doyle, and murdered the
old man and two sons. They then went to
a Mr.. Sherman's, where they murdered three
more men. A man named Whiteman was
also killed. The only reason that could be
assigned for this inhuman butchery was,
that the Abolitionists (the Court being in
SESSION. were afraid that these men would
be called upon to give evidence against
them, as many of them were charged with
treason. An appeal is made to the South
for men and money. Gov. Shannon has
issued proclamation, and is using every
effort in his power to quell disturbances
1t will be seen by our Congressional report,
that proposition has been made in the
Senate to send Gen. Scott to Kansas, to
put an end, if possible, to the civil war now
raging there.

THE NOMINEES.

The Democratic press and the DemOcra-
cv of the country, from Maine to Louisiana,
hail with delight and enthusiasm the nomi-
nation of Buchanan and breckenridge
Our exchanges from every point of the
compass are tccming with accounts of
Grand Ratification Notifications. In Phi
ladelphia, there was the largest assemElage
ever witnessed on Independence Square
McSsrs. Ca$S, Douglass, and Orr were
amongst the Speakers. And in New York
the people assembled by acres to greet the
nominations. Pennsylvania and New-York
will both give her vote to the nominees by
overwhelming maiorities, and Buchanan and
Breckenridge will be elected by the largest
vote ever given to President and Vice
President. AS the Convention was, SO are
the pcoplc-united, to a man, in favor of
the nominees.
On the other hand, northern KnOw-No-
thingism and AbolitiOnism denounce, i'll Bit
ter terms, the nominees. To show our
friends the views and opinions of these Sia
mese parties, we will in our next lay before
them the remarks and comments on the
nominees from some of the leading aboli
ton journals of the north. They afford the
best evidence of the national, conservative,
and southern principles of ur candidates.

THE N. c. CENTRAL RAILROAD

At recent meeting of the Directors of
the Charlotte s. South Carolina Railroad
Company, we understand, the following re-
solution was unanimously passed:
RcSoIred, That q connection with both
trains, each day, should be made with the
South Carolina RAILROAD and in order to
do so, that two passenger trains run each
dav on the Charlotte & South Carolina
RAILROAD, so soon as the North Carolina
RAILROAD shall run two trains on said road.
ReSotred, That the President do inform
the President of the North Carolina Rail-
Road of the above resolution, and earnestly
request the President and Directors of said
road to arrange as soon as possible to run
on said road so as to make perfect cOnnec-
tions with adjoining roads.
We are gratifed, as we think all of our
citizens will be, to see this propOsiti on for
two trains day Ia morning and evening
one) on our railroads; andwe hope it may
be the pleasure, as we think it will be the
interest, of the North Carolina Road, to &C.
cede to the request of the C.. & S. G. road.
1t would afford our citizens, and the people
along the entire line, additional travelling
and mail facilities. while it would, if not at
first, ultimately secure to our roads, on a
superior and the most pleasant route, the
entire travel nearly between the South and
the North. Our great roads now form
connection with only one of the lines which
pass twice day north and South. Thus
they lose half the loaf, while full connec-
ton would secure a full loaf If our roads
ever prosper and pay, they must depend
upon something more than the local travel
and support. They must add the profits OF
through travel and foreign support, by con-
nections which will let the blood flow into her
veins from other corporate bodies. Of this
fact the enterprising Directors of the c. q
;. L. Road seem to be aware, and we trust
the intelligent Directory of the n. C. Road
will properly appreciate the advantages of
q full connection at Goldsboro,' and thus
accommodate the friends of the road. pro-
mote their own interests, and allow her al
ly, feeder. and friend to participate in the
advantages of such connection. The first
three or six months may not pay" but we
venture to predict that longer than that

pnndocRAT1c MEETINo.

On Saturday evening last, the Democrats
had an interesting and pleasant meeting OF
the Court House. They assembled mainly
for business purpose, but they were unex-
pectedly favored with an entertainment not
anticipated. They had assembled to form
a Democratic Club, when it was ascertain
ed that they had in the room an eloquent
Democrat from Raleigh. VIM. K. Myers,
Esq, was appointed to the Chair, and DIR.
II. NJ. Pritchard, Secretary.
A committee, consisting of r. T. Warning,
Thomas III. Brem, j. B. Kerr, ]. L. Cald-
WE'LL and John Harry. was appointed to re-
port officers for the Democratic Association.
The Committee retiring, loud calls were
made for E. G. Haywood, Esq, of Raleigh.
Mr.. HI. being introduced to'the meeting,
responded to the call in speech of about
one hours length, argumentative and able
throughout. The beauties of Known 9TH
ingism and Fillmoreism, Mr.. HI. showed up
with masters hand.
At the conclusion of his eloquent speech,
the Committee reported the names of DIR.
II. NJ. Pritchard, for President of the DEM
ocratic Association, Leroy Springs. Esq.
for Vice President, and j. j. Palmer, Sc
cretary, which nominations were unani-
mously confirmed by the meeting. The
meeting then adjourned.

FALSEHOODS.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania, and
other papers Of that State, denounce as a
falsehood the charge that Mr.. Buchanan in
l843 or at any other time, maintained in a
speech, or otherwise, that ''ren cents day
was enough for a laboring man." The
Pennsylvania declares that no respectable
or responsible person can be found to
father the falsehood, and challenges the
enemies of Mr.. B. to produce, if they can,
any extract from his speeches or writings
in support of the SANDER. Nor did Mr..
Buchanan ever declare that if there was a
drop of Democratic blood in his body, he
would open a vein and let it out; and in
this case also, no evidence can be produced
that he ever made any such declaration
And equally untrue is it, that Mr.. Buchanan,
in 1919, or before or after, ever offered or
supported any resolutions against slavery
and the South. Nor did Mr.. b. ever write
any Erie letters, or vote in favor of Con-
gress abolishing slavery in the District of
acknowledgements the removal of slaves
from State to State-that the negroes who
murdered the crew of the ship Creole in
CURED no penalty thereby, &C., &c. But
the proof is positive that Mr.. Fillmore did
these things.

MIR. BRECKENRIDGE.

The opposition can find nothing in Mr..
Breckenridge's character or political course
to carp at. His nomination, is on all hands,
attested to be a good and popular one
True, the Wilmington Herald finds serious
objection to Mr.. B., but whether the Ameri-
can people will regard it of sufficient i'm
pOrtance to reject him in November next,
is questionable. Hear the Herald's COM
plant:
I'VE pass on to Mr.. J. G.. Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, the nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent. He is a young man, about forty
years old, tall, said to be talented, known
to be wordy, and has served two terms in
Congress. While in Congress, he had a
difficulty with Mr.. Cutting, of New York, a
settled amicably. President Pierce ten
dered him the Spanish mission, but he de-
clined it. When you look at him sideways,
Ibis forehead, nose and chin are nearly in
a straight line" We are told that there is
''poetic glimmer'' about him. If so, it
will be manifestly out of place in the chair
of the Senate, should he be called to oc-
cupy it."
Can't Mr.. Breckenridge mend his profile,
and discard that poetic glimmer," in order
to remove the only objection urged against
his fitness for the office for which he has
been nominated! Do try, Mr.. b.

A GLANCE AT THE REAsoHs.

I In our last we promised to allude to the\
considerations which operated against the
nomination of Gen. Pierce for second
term. In the first place, the one-term prin-
ciple operated against his nomination.
Since the time of Gen. jackson, the one
term principle has been strictly adhered to
by the Democratic party. The lamented
Polk approved It. And the immense and
continued increase of executive patronage,
renders this policy in the opinion of many,
prudent and wise. In the second place,
thousands wished to see Mr.. Buchanan
President, and his age suggested that this
was perhaps the only time they could hope
for his nomination. His able and uniform
support of the Democratic party from Mon
roe's Administration up to the present time,
including all Southern measures, the acqui-
sition of Texas, &c. gave him a strong claim
to the gratitude of the party. In the third
place, many believed that the old and
great State of Pennsylvania 1.-THE keystone
of the Federal Arch) was entitled TO the
honor, never having had President. And
III lLlS plaiSCf ll4tiliN DSlleNGQ him the
most available man and that the crisis de-
manded a candidate around whom every
national Democrat in the union would rally.
Our choice was for Pierce, above all others,
but our motto is principles, not men,
and we are delighted that in Mr.. Buchanan
We have an honest and pure man, one of
massive intellect, sound craftsmanship, of
bold and comprehensive views of American
and foreign policy, of stern and unyielding
Democracy,--a conservative polite ian,
with q reverential devotion to the Constitu-
ito n, and with a popularity that will in No
Eem6er next consign the remains of Sam to
the tomb of the Capulets, forever.
e Mr. Champion. the dismissed English
Minister, sailed from Boston, for England,
on the 9th instant.

THE PLATFORM.

We ask Wings and Southern men of all
parties except the oath-bound, to compare
the Democratic National Platform with that
miserable anti-twelfth section affair adopted
at Philadelphia in February last or COM
pare it with any that has been or will be
adopted by the several factions in opposi-
ton to the Democratic party, and then de-
eide where every consideration of patriot
ism, duty to the South, honor and interest
calls them to act in the present crisis
Among the first acts of the convention was
the rejection of the Benton delegates from
Missouri-men who, though coming from
a Slave State, were chargeable with free
soil proclivities. In the next place, Presi-
dent was chosen from an extreme Southern
State, G. Shareholder and fast friend of
the institution, and finally a platform has
been adopted, national and comprehensive.
