We find in the Greensboro Patriot q report of a
speech delivered at the Pittsylvania Va) K. N mass
meeting by Ex-Governor John M. Morehead 1t is
a most disreputable speech. 1t evinces neither tai
ent, nor taste, nor patriotism nor decency nor hon.
esty. Among other things in speaking of President
Pierce, he said:
His name is pronounced Purse his Northern friends
and neighbors and appropriate name it is for the
head Of such acknowledgements some General
not one at the head Of the could give
mysteriousy disappeared from the vaults of the treasury
We have no comments to make on such miserable
stuff as this. Gov. Morehead, like K. Rayner, is
powerless; and after Tuesday next lie too will sink
into political oblivion. All right. Gov. Graham
ditto. Also, one N. Boyden, who voted while in
Congress to withdraw our troops from Mexico and
to make dishonorable peace. Also. Dargan, and
Cameron of the Argus, and Hyman, who blows his
own trumpet-and many. many more of the same
stamp. These are Americans " who will be cruel

never recover from the blow. They will go into

KENrUcKY.-Thc Register publishes circular
letter from one Thos. II. Hunt and others, K. Ms
of Kentucky, in which they say they have made
careful calculation of their strength and assert that
"kentucky is safe and certain for Fillmore and Don.
elson." The same careful calculation was made in
Virgnia-they had enough sworn Know Nothngs,
they said to defeat Gov. Wise; but when The people
spoke, the X. n candidate left just ten thous-
and behind.
This same Thos. H. Hunt also issued letter, da-
ted October 4tb, which the Register has not DEEM
ed it expedient to publish In it he says:
"The policy of the whole American press throughout
the South after the State elections in October in the NORTH
should be to urge the withdrawal Of James Buchanan pro-
cded the ctioas go dgainst h. Our advices from Penn
syivana that he will be beaten 10000 in October
We wish concert of action upon this matter to give it
force and trust will give earliest attention. We
will take to have the teegTaphen all points
in the South that there be delay and it would
,ion leaving blanks be filled up with probable maori-
tiles. We do not think from all advices the Denoc
racy to withdraw their candidate and unite upon
"Oh what fall was there, my countrymen! Pr
The articles" written beforehand" never appear

Fillmore and the fusoniss beaten in these cleo

duty Of Mr.. Hunt and his friends, according to his
own declarationS Why. to 60 for Mr.. Buchan-

Correspondence of the Asheville News
Rarrrcu noS ~ 49,


But want to glance for moment at our own
State. The city Of Raleigh, as you know. has al
ways oeen the head quarters of Know Nothingism
in the State but its power is broken and almost
entirely crushed out During the session of the
Superior Court here week before last, flaming
handb was posted about the streets announcing
a meeting of the Fillmore and Donelson Club
particular night. The night came-the Court House
was lighted up-and that was all. Nobody attended.
Mr.. Littlejohn the X. N Eector for this District,
spoke here on Monday Of Court week, and not X.
N. voice cheered him. Maj Wilder, the Democra
tic Eector, literally crushed him. amid the most
thusiastic cheering of his friends Such events in
Raleigh show a complete turning of the tables for
even young men can recollect when a Democrat in
Raleigh was hardly considered respectable. Eigh-
teen months ago K. N. orator would have been
drowned by applause; now not a cheer greets him.
Eighteen months ago Democratic orator would
have had applause from only few faithful friends
now he is overwhelmed by the cheers of the whole
crowd. Nothing could be more significant of the
condemnation of Know Nothingism.
Another incident. At the opening of the guber-
material canvass, the K. Ms here caught up poor
devil called ". c. Doub, and engaged him to pub
lish semweekly paper called the Signal. Rumor
says "a gentlemen purchased him, II Of whom be-
came secret editors while poor Doub had to shout
der all their sins. The paper struggled along, filled
with lies, abuse, Misrepresentation and all manner
of rascaly until week before last since which time
1t has not made Its appearance learn 1t is dead.
Even the K. Ms curse and swear at Doub, saying
money was furnished him, and his editorials written
for him, aud still he too lazy to publish. The
"a have to foot the bin of COSTS which is small
matter compare with the account the II editors will
have to answer.

az We thought at one time that We would
thoroughly expose the Raleigh Register in its SYM
patty with Mr.. Hedrick and black Republicanism
generally, but it is hardly necessary that we should
do so. That paper has no influence now, except
with a few uniformed persons and fanatical Know
Nothings. We may state, however, that in its is
sue of the 22d October it distinctly approved the
fusion in Pennsylvania between the Fillmore men
and black Republicans and expressed the hope that
this combination would succeed on Tuesday next
The same paper also contained a communication
signed Middle Creek" and dated Johnston Co.,
Oct II, in which the writer expresses his sympathy
soith Hedrick in the following language:
eff Professor Hedrck is gentleman and finds his pres
opinions either to the Professors with
whom he associated the Trustees Of the University
upon ostracise for the expression Of an honest
opinion than entered the head of gentle
of liberal views who appreciates honesty either in

Standard man supposes) of abolitionism."
Who is the author Of Z" Middle Creek?" What
does this man middle Greek :" I" SAVIOUR" of?-this

Who is he? We shall not waste words upon such
a character-but soho Is he?

r ~ Mr.. Rayner has been speaking at Concord,
SALISBURY, and High Point His subject, of course,
was Catholics and furriners" We have seen no
'eports of his speeches, but take it for granted
mat he reiterated the sentiments Of his late letter.
The effect that the triumph of any party in this
contest would be preferable to that of the Demo-

concord, that the contest between Buchanan and
fremont was SO dog fight" and he didLt care which

The Surging of the Popular Tide for Buchanan.
How the Vote Stands.
No better estimate can he formed, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, of the tremendous Democratic
triumphs in the States which voted on the 18th of
October than compare the returns with the last gen.
eral elections in those States in 1854. The figures
stands thus.
Indiana then IL, 900 against the Democrats; now
5000 in their favor Democratic gain on the popu-
lar cote 81 ,OOC.
Pennsylvania then q, 900 against the Democrats;
now 5000 in their favor. Democratic gain So 600.
Ohio then $4,000 against the Democrats; now,
say 10000. Democratic gain $4,000.
Thus-n the three States-the Democrats have
gained on the popular vote, in two years, 123,0
rotes! The like of this tremendous popular revolu-
ton was never before seen in this country. ~

Voice of a Benton Democrat.

The Missouri Democrat, in comment
ing upon the recent outrages on the Mis-
souri, river, upon the persons and prop
erty of the Kansas emigrants, and their
probable consequences to the commerce
of St. Louis, has the following:
"Men viii not ship when they have no
security of transportation. and the attach
was. therefore, aimed against the most
vital point of our commercial prosperity.
The idea that few desperate politicians,
whose ephemeral preferment to Office
depended upon keeping up slavery agi-
ts,ion, should be privileged to lay an en-
barge upon a river that receives the
tributary streams of half continent.
was as preposterous in its conception. as
it would be disastrous in its execution.
We regret to add, however, that we are
now beginning to reap the consequences
of this silly outbreak, and to find all our
fears realized. We see the traders of
the East and the traders of the West
meeting at Alton and Chicago, to organ
ize system of transport that shall con-
tribute nothing to the wealth of Nilsson
ID. We find, what promises before the
end of the year to bs the most wealthy
aud enterprising State of the West, Sc
riously contemplating diversion of its
,rayel and traffic from ST. Louis, the Me-
tropolis of the Mississippi Valley, and
all because of the lawless action of few
men who have been influenced moro By
passion than patriotism.
