The RIGHT DlREcTIoN.-A mercantile house in
this place, has shown US letter, dated Salisbury
LIST instant. stating that l6O bags corn, so barrels
flour, and 10 bags d. had been sent from that town
here, over the N. G. Railroad, for sale, being the
first shipment from Salisbury since the completion
of the road.
We sincerely trust that the result of this expert
ment may induce our friends in Rowan to continue
to send their produce to this point We desire to
cultivate intimate mercantile arrangements with the
people of the interior, and shall sincerely rejoice
if we shall be enabled to effect it. Salisbury we
believe, has always looked with favorable eve to
this place; and it is the policy as well as the duty
OF our people to reciprocate this feeling and to
show our friends up above, that we can offer equal
if not superior inducements for them to trade here
II we can do this, and can draw htherward the lock-

one fact is inisputab!y true, and that is that tile
Knor Nothing party has presented to the country a
Speaker in the person Of Mr. Banks Writhe and
wriggle as Southern X. Ms may and do, this truth
is plain and glarng. N. p Banks is Know Moth
ing, and he and his claim to be the simon pure
Know Nothings. In their estimation the Southern
faction claiming to he Know Nothings, is "spuri
ous." There are III members of Congress claim
ing to be Know Nothings and of these 81 voted for
Banks and q for Aiken and some even of these 81
voted for the Democratic candidate under protest,
while one, Mr.. Davis of Maryland, indirectly voted
for Banks by throwing away his vote or Mr.. Fuller
Let the Southern people remember, as fact clear
ly established, that the Know Nothing party has
given to the country its first Abolition Speaker.

fourth President of the United States" the author
of the federal constitution, the patriot and states.
man." "What shadows we are ."-how soon are
those who were greatest among men, neglected or
forgotten! A writer in the Richmond Enquirer de.
plores this neglect on the part Of Virginia and the
Editors of that paper express the hope "that the
House Ct Delegates will pass, with the same patri.
otto feelings, the bill which has unanimously passed
the Senate, providing for the erection Of plain
tombstone o! granite or marble, over the grave Of
James Madison. The bill approprates the small
sum Of $500 for stone, with the following inscrip
ton: James Madison, born March 8, 1851, 70. S.
died 2sth june, 1885. Virginia marks with sincere
affection the grave of her son. the author Of the
Federal Constitution, the patriot and statesman."
One OF THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the candidates
for the Know Nothing nomination for the Presiden-
cy is George Law Of whom the New York Express,
Wing paper says:
: "Lives Of George Law are in circulation BY the
hundreds of thousands. small pamphlet with 10
very telling wood cut of the "man that's want
ed, and entitled "a Sketch of Events in the Life
OF George Law, published in advance Of his bogrs'
ply; also, extracts from the public journals" has
been issued from the press Of j. C. DERBY, and we
are told some six hundred thousand copies have al
ready been given out for distribution, nearly for
every man, woman and child in this city. A pretty
big story-but George Law is big man,
George Law is man Of consequence, mainly on
account of his-dollars. He is rich and can afford
to pay well for the printing and circulation of bis
own life. s Disgust for the wild hunt after Office
is Of course one Of his prominent characteristics.
