The Good Work in the MOuntains.---Whats say
the Middle and Eastern Counties?
We learn from the Asheville News, that the Hon.
7. L. Clingman, and w. W. Avery, Marcus Erwin,
and David Coleman, Esquires have appointments
to address the people Of the mountain District, ex-
tending to the day of the election; and that they
have been in the field for week or two past exert
ing themselves in the cause.
Mr.. Cngman has addressed the people at various
points and on Monday, the 9Th of October, he
spoke at Ashevle. The News says

The people of Western North Carolina will be full

assured by Mr. Waring, the Elector for the Seventh
District who hero recently a visit, that the
Democracy of his District would gloriousy sustain
themselves in this election and from the ardor and
ability with which he, and Messrs Settle and Avery
prosecuting the campaign, we feel sure that the
majority for Mr.. Buchanan will be larger in their
Districts than Gov Braggs.
What say friends in the middle and Eastern
Counties? Shall we permit the West to outdo us
in this noble work? We have the votes--let us see
