party is completely abolitionized, said the
speaker. That party was to blame for fill
ing the House of Representatives with
black republicans. When the last session
was opened, large majority of the mem
bers answered to their names as the repre-
sentatives of "Sam"--they had marched
there under a banner inscribed with the
words Americans shall rule America"
but it was not long before these same men
were found fighting under the African ban
ner and in violent opposition to the rights
OF the South.
He declared that he was for maintaining
the rights of the South, and therefore sup
ported James Buchanan for President. The
Union was in danger, and the only party
that could save it was the democratic party
it was the only national party in exist
ence at present, and for its nominees he
had raised his voice and would continue to
do SO. Mr. Buchanan is O well-tried states
man, said the honorable speaker, and in
his hands the rights of the South will be
safe. He wanted Fremont defeated-Mr
buchanan was the only man that could do
it-fillmore was out of the contest. If Mr.
Fillmore, instead of Buchanan, could beat
Fremont he would vote for him. He wanted
southern men of all parties to support the
strongest man and the one calculated to do
us the most good in the present critical
condition of things. If it were possible to
elect Fillmore he would have but little
power, for he had only three party friends
in the L. S. Senate: Bell, Crittenden and
Sam Houston, and but q handful in the
House of Representatives,. The democrats
have two-thirds of the Senate and will have
u majority in the next House; elect their
candidate for President and they Will take
care of the rights of the South.
Nj Barringcr said he believed the south
crn know-nothings were generally sound
on the slavery question, but was sorry to
hear some of their leaders making light of
the present awful condition of affairs-pro-
claiming that they had no choice between
Fremont and Buchanan, and advising sub
mission if the former should be elected.
He was for the Union, but if the South was
not allowed to remain equal in it and have
her rights, he was for living independent
out Of it. Loud applause.[
Mr. Barringcr enumerated the many
wrongs inflicted on the South by the North
and showed to what depths of degradation
We would be reduced if we submitted to the
triumph of the black republican party.

THE RESULT.

We now have complete returns from
Pennsylvania, and the following is the
result: Democratic majority for Canal
Commissioner 2774; Attorney General 1907;
Surveyor General 1886. State Senate,
union majority 3; House of Representatives,
democratic majority 6. Democratic MAORI
ty OH joint ballot 3.
In Ohio the black republican majority
is 10000. The blacks have elected ID
members of Congress, and the democrats
eight, being an entire gain.
In Indiana, the Congressional delegation
stands seven democrats t" four fusionists.
The democratic candidate for Governor has
a majority of 5000.
The returns from the Florida election are
now complete. Perry, Democrat Is elect
ed Governor by 400 majority, and Hawkins,
Democrat, to Congress, by 800 majority.
The Democratic loss since 1914 is 600.
Observation-Disclosures every election i'll
which the democrats are successful, the
opposition party is sure to offer one reason
for defeat, viz: that the democrats cheated
and committed frauds. Take up almost
any know-nothing paper and you will find
an article headed Frauds! Fraudsi' in
which it is asserted by some writer who
don't know anything about the matter, that
the "locofocos'' had played foul game.
Such barcfaced assertions are made as an
excuse for being defeated. This same cry
was raised Immediately after it was ascer-
tanned that the democracy was triumphant
in PENNSYLVANIA, and after Tuesday next 1t
will be as a dernier resort Look out tor 1t.
FOREIGN NEws.-The steamer ARABIA
arrived ON the 9th with dates from Liver
nool 70 the lIth inst. In the Liverpool
market Cotton had advanced one-sixteenth
70 one-eIghth. Wheat and Corn had also
advanced.
r At q public meeting held at Barn
we'll c. H., South Carolina, on the 2Oth
inst, the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved. That the Union should not
s,rrive the election of John G. Fremont TO
the Presidency of the United States; and
in that event, in the opinion of this meeting
south Carolina should forthwith secede
from the Union, and provide new guards
for her future security.

HOMCIDE-We learn that man named
Powers was killed in this county last week
by another named Gants. Powers was
about the store of Iaunts and trying to get
up Il fight with a third person present.
Yaunts cndeavored to keep them separate
and took away the man that Powers was
after. Powers continued following 1amts
~, and finally pulled off his coat and hat
and made at Yaunts, when the latter struck
him one blow over the ear with stick,
from which he died in a day or two. Iaunts
was arrested and aied.

Dg Our thanks to Leroy Springs, Esq,
Of Charlotte, for a sack Of fine family flour
We have never seen nor tasted better
flour.
Mr. Springs flour, being in sacks, could
not, in accordance with the published
regulations, be taken notice of by the
committee as for a premium; though Mr.
Springs Was amply compensated for this by
the premiums he received on his cattle. He
exhibited four Durham cattle, and took
premium on each one of them. The flour
of Messrs. Pearson Il Sudlerth was received
at the grounds too late to be entered for a
premium.-Raleigh Standard.

INCREASE OF JEws.--An intelligent wri-
ter i'll the North American Review suppoSes
that no class Of immigrants has increased
more rapidly in this country than the He
brew. In 1850 a man might count upon
his fingers all the Synagogues in the land :;
now there are at least a quarter Of million
Jews, from eighty to ninety Synagogues,
and multitude Of smaller communities,
where nucleus exists which will soon grow
into a Synagogue. The city Of New York
alone has twenty Synagogucs and thirty
thousand Jcws-aboat one twentieth part
of tho population being such. There are
Synagogucs IN all tile chief cities of sea-
board-two in Boston. five in Philadelphia,
FIVE in Baltimore. two in Richmond, three
in New Orleans, two in Charleston and four
in Cincinnati.

THE ALABAMA COTTON CRoP.--Thc
Selma Reporter, of Wednesday evening
last, says:
at is now reduced to certainty that the
present cotton crop will be exceedingly
short. Notwithstanding the disastrous
spring and summer which we had, yet hopes
had been entertained from later indications
that the crop would be an average one; but
the early frost has now completely dispeIIed
every hope, and accounts from every quarter
have now satisfied every sensible man that
we are to have the shortest crop which we
have had for many years past. Many Of
our planters will finish picking this week,
and in the course Of few weeks the whole
crop Of Alabama will be gathered"
PREPARING FOR THE FINAL STRUGGLE.
We are pleased to see that the democrats
of Pennsylvania instead Of relaxing in their
efforts are determined to keep up the con-
test with the same energy which has mark
ed their course hitherto. The Democratic
State Central Committee announces ap-
pontmcnts for prominent speakers in every
Senatorial district i'll the State The ball
will be kept rolling from until the 4th
day of November. Pennsylvania has be-
gun well. She will finish still better.
TT Henry Wilson, the Senator from
in his late speech in Penn
sylvania, says Of disunion:
1--WE. tell Wise and his supporters, that
we defy your power and threats, and every
foot OF Southern land shall remain in the
Union.'

~ The animadverSions of know-noth-
ings upon the letters of Messrs Barringer,
Williamson and Osborne, prove that they
have somewhat damaged the opposition in
this section. These gentlemen became
convinced that the only and most certain
way of putting down fanaticism and Sc
curing the rights of the South, and quoting
the agitated state of public feeling, was to
have Mr. Buchanan elected. and, like men
who are willing to make party preferences
succumb to the good of their country, they
declared themselves favorable to the demo-
cratic nominees They saw, as all are
now convinced, that there was no chance
for Mr. Fillmorc's election, and accordingly
published letters setting forth their positions.
For doing this, know-nothing writers at
tempt TO ridicule them and question their
motives. But the gentlemen are too well
known to be harmed by such n course. AT
one time they were the acknowledged lead
erS OF whiggery in this part of the State,
and instead of receiving censure from their
old political friends, they ought at least to
nave credit Tor acting from honest conVic"
tons.

connection with the unexpected success Of
the Democracy in Indiana, Indicate pretty
clearly the election Of James Buchanan as
our next President, by handsome majority
