Ohio, as their spokesman, showed their sympathy
with the most ultra Republicanism in opposition to
the Democracy.
They feared that the old line Wings might con-
ciude to march over, horse, foot and dragons, to
the Democracy, and they came prepared to defeat
that purpose. No sooner had Gov. Jones given in
his adhesion to the Democracy by declaring his in
tention to support Mr. Buchanan, than up they crow

By the scceders from these seceders, Commodore
Stockton for President and Kenneth Rayner for
Vice President.
In addition to these, the Abolitonists "pure and
undefed "by either reason or honesty, have nomi-
mated Gerritt Smith for President; and the Spirit
ualists have nominated Judge Edmonds for the same
place.
But the name of Mr. Banks has been withdrawn,
and his friends the Northern K. Ms, are going for
Fremont 1t is also stated that Stockton will not
accept. The contest will, therefore, be mainly be-
tween Mr.. Buchanan and Col. Fremont

The Asia arrived out on the 9th inst
The English public are still without an official
notice of Mr. Champions dismissal but they regard
it as certain. Positive but unofficial statements
by the Asia on this matter had caused some little
excitement among the people, and the London
papers argued the case as personal objection to
Mr.. Champion and chiefly to the effect that there
was no necessity for the dismissal of Mr.. Dallas
The London Times. however, has been very bitter
towards the United States on this point
There bad been an attempt made on the life Of the
Queen of Spain. 1t was reported that young man

The inundations in France have caused disastrous
effects and continue to be spoken of; they have
rendered 40 900 people houseless and thrown 100,-
600 out of employment. 1t was hoped, however,
that the corn crop will be about average yield.
The Kansas affairs in the United States begin to
excite some notice in England, and though the
matters are not generally understood, it is argued
that they would divert the American attention from

1t was reported in Berlin that Prussia and Sar.

The K. N. PARTY SEcr1oNAL.-A friend writes US
"Great efforts are being made to elect Gmer, and
in this portion of the State appeals are made to Sec
tional and local interests to promote his election.
Gen. Leach's speeches principally directed to
this end. To effect Gmer's election he is riding
the hobby of Railroad from High Point ria Salem
and every other place where he speaks to the noun
tains; and Gmer's election is argued necessary
to ensure the Road" This is just what we expec-
ted, and is in entire accordance with Mr.. Gilmers
past course and that of the party whose candidate
he is.
Mr.. Gilmer has uniformly urged the white basis
local. sectional measure. He has urged and voted
for it. bo-h TO the School Fund and the basis of
representation in the Legislature; and he has gone
far in this respect to vote and speak for Con-
venton to be called in papa6h riolation Of the State
Constitution, his object being through such Con.
vention, to change the basis and to make local in
terests paramount to the general interests of the
State. Those K. N. leaders who nominated him
were fully informed as to his record and his opin-
ions in this respect; and they put him forward be-
cause of this record and these opinions hoping to
obtain votes thereby in the est, and being deter
mined so far as the East was concerned to up
and conceal this record and these opinions, and to
60 for him without regard to them. In proof of
this we have him, since he has taken the field,
adcocate an increase Of the tao slaces-advocate
it. not in the East, but in the Vest; and the K. n
papers and speakers in the East are silent on the
| subject That shows, at glance, their object and
the sectional views by which they are governed.
Gov. Bragg holds the same opinions on all public
| questions in Currituck and in New Hanover. He
does not change his speeches, Mr. Gilmer does, to
meet the supposed views of particular ocalities.-
He makes appeal to sectional local inte rests,
but is the representative of the whole people of the
State, pledged to deal fairly by ALL and to give no
undue advantage to one portion over another por-
tion He would scorn to be Governor in any other
way, or on any other grounds; and Mr.. Gilmer will
find, on the first Thursday in August that his in
siduous attempts to array section of the Stale
against the other, will neither add to his reputation
nor increase his vote.

among the gossip Of the Black Republican Delegates,

To THE REscUE.-Had not been acquainted
with the Salisbury Watchman, and known that, old
line Wing as it pretends to be, it any thing to
be opposed to Democracy, we should have been
somewhat astonished to find it defending the Fay
etteve Argus for denouncing old line Wings as
"traitors and tories," and venting its wrath upon
the Standard for exposing the Argus and defending
old line Wings AS it is, not at all surprised
But it does seem to that when those to whom
these epithets are applied defend the utterer Of
them, they the epithets) are not wholly unjust.
The truth is. the Wa.chman was bound to go the
X. N. stripe, nolens uolens because X. Nism was
opposed to Democracy and finding itself dcnounc-
ed, by a X. n. eector, traitor and tory" it
swallows the sweet morsels, defends him by whom
the epithets applied and pitches into the STAN
dard like mad goat, horns and all. The Standard
has survived many a worse shock, and will live
through this. The wringern general is so close
neighbor to the Watchman that it dare not say
it has a soul Of its own. 1t can only accuse US OF

Cameron, replies Bruner, that is "unguarded and
inconsiderate" language; but matter, I'm going
for X. Nism anyhow, and if anybody attacks you
for calling me such names, I'll defend you. o.
course there is nothing ollie about that. 1t is the
