WANTED To co BACK TO sLAvERY.-The New York
Herald tells story of a colored woman named DAN
ma, who some two years since was purchased from
her owner, s. F. Gould. Esq, OF Edgefeld, South
Carolina. by abolilionsts residing in New York
The Herald states that Danna came to this city and
nursed her mother until she died, when, having no
relatives or friends here, and being out of employ
men, she naturally enough desired to return to the
home of her childhood, where her husband and chill
dren are still living. Hearing that Col. M. Frazer,
neighbor of her former master, in the city, she
calle UPON him at the Astor House, and piteously
begged of him TO take her back to her old home, as
she was heartily sick of freedom. Col. Frazer con-
scented, and on Friday the pair left for the sunny
South where under the shade of the Palmetto, Dian
ma will again have an opportunity of enjoying all
the comfort she can ever want.

MOVEMENTS OF THE @DEMocRAcY.-Unless the
signs of the times deceive US very much, there Will
he an unusually full and pleasant gathering ct the
Democracy of the Stale at Raleigh the 10th inst.
The counties have gone into the matter with zeal
and promp.itude, and meetings have been or will BE-
held with hardly exception. We trust that dele
gates will find it convenient to attend from every
county, and, il possible, from every precinct in every
county. 1t is the actual personal presence of the
representatives. cf Democracy that is waned-it is the
actual contact of the Democrats from all portions OF
the Sate-the interchange of ideas and of opinions
that does good. By acting together, we strengthen
each others hands, remove obstacles and misun-
derstandngs, we get 10 know each other, and thus
good results, moi simply TO the party, but to The
State Let the man from New Hanover meet the man
from Buncombe, Wilkes, Ashe, or Cherokee-the man
from the Virginia line meet him from the South Car
DINA line and they will find that all good Demo
Gratis are brethren and that all citizens of the good
old State have common interest in her prosperity
II is mainly for consultation that the State Con-
yenton will be valuable. Thos. Bragg is the choice
of the party for election to the office OF Governor
Both party usage and the popular choice point to
him as our candidate. So much 1or that' IN fegafu
TO the Presidency The Democracy OF the State will
sus ain any sound and conservative National Demo-
crat whom the Cincinnati Convention may nominate,
Int there can be no sort of doubt but that General
Pierce is the first choice of the State for President
and Mr. Dobbin for Vice President This is the
even tenor of the resolutions passed at nearly every
county meeting in the State and the Convention IN
appointing delegates at large will be expected to ap.
point those who will vote, in the first instance, In
obedience to the wishesof the people so expressed
All this will be understood. There are, COMPARE
lively few questions of State policy likely to create
any discussion and none that Can lead to any dlt1
Guilty We will thus be left comparatively free 10
compare notes, and devise ways and means for the
more perfect organization of the party so as TO bring
out lis real strength in the coming contests. We
trust that this section and indeed all sections of the
State, will be fully represented. Our facilities of
communication and travel are increasing every day.
and much less difficulty will be experienced than at
former times.

The following letter, addressed to gentleman in
this town, has been handed TO u.s. and cheerfully
give it place in our columns, because of the right
spirit which it displays and The desire for prompt

to the enquiries of our young fellow citizens of War

done in regard to the organization of any movement
at least nothing that know of, beyond the holding
of the meeting in the Court House, the proceedings
of which have already been published. We are in
formed that, if necessary assistance be afforded,

The Supreme Court of Tenn decided at its last
