Hon. James c. DObbin.

This gentleman passed through Raleigh on Thurs
dsy last ON his way to Fayetteville. On Thursday
morning the "Oak-City Guards" and the "1nde'
PENDENT Guards" of this City, called upon him at
the Yarbrcugh House, for the purpose of showing
their respect and affection for him as man and as
an honored citizen Of the State. He was addressed
in handsome terms by Capt. DeCarterett, and he re-
soonded briefly but feelingy, thanking them for the
compliment thus paid him.
During Mr. Dobbin's brief stay with us, he was
waited upon by many Of our citizens without dis
tinct;on Of party, who were glad to see him and
anxious to take him by the hand.
Mr. Dobbin, we learn, will be absent from his
most fo, several weeks-an absence rendered almost
absolutely necessary by his close application to
business and his arduous labors during the recent
session of Congress. That his health may be fully
and speedily restored, is the earnest wish OF the
whole people of his native State.

The Signal.

The Associate editor of the Standard would say
happy to know he is not responsible for their tastes
The remnant" zied, and the Associate pointed out
how and wherein; and he is not surprised that the
aforesaid "remnant" should not think him " decent"
in so doing. The editor or orator that defends E.
G. Reade for his infamous vote to censure Keitt is
no better than Mr. Reade himself; and we will
ing that the Southern people should decide whether
they are traitors or not.
For the rest the Associate holds himself respon-
sibe for all he has said or done, may hereafter
say or do. lie is not one Of an indefinite number
Of editors, none Of nAom are individually responsi-
BE, and uho lie 5ac1 behind a poor deoH that the
rats coud not n66le ot thereby shielding themselves.
And so endeth the first lesson.

EDucATIoNAL.-We learn from the New Orleans
papers, that the Right Rev. Leonidas Polk Episcopal
Bishop of Louisiana has recently addressed letter
to the Bishops of the Episcopal Church in Tennes-
see, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Mssissip-
pi, Florida South Carolina, and North Carolina, on
the propriety of forthwith establishing, on broad
and enduring foundation, at point central and &C.
cessble to the States named, an Educational Insti
tuition, which shall provide the amplest means for
instruction, well in academical in theological
learning. The necessity for such an institution is
most clearly shown by Bishop Polk. Taking into
consideration the present state of feeling at the
North relative to the Southa state of feeling which
nowhere manests itself bitterly as in its seats of
learnng-we heartily concur with the Bishop in the
belief that such an institution should at be cs-
tablished The New Orleans Daily True Delta
says:
The facts and arguments which Mr. Polk has combined
in his letter. favorable this noble project must convince
every friend of human intelligence and human of
not only with the reverend gentlemen to whom they are
addressed but with the of felOwcitzens of the
Episcopal Church in the States referred to. When the
Conference to which it is proposed to submit this PROPOSE
tlon Shall nave taken into consideration the result,
feel assured will be the initiation of system of education
harmonizing with the habits feelings and institutions of
the South which will fulfill all the Requirements of an ell
ghtened age and intelligent people and emancipate us
the mental control which the North has SO long and
njuriousiy exercised over the minds of our youth"

Common school JOurnal.

We have just published, at the Standard office,
for Mr.. Wiley, Superintendent Of Common Schools,
the first number of the "North- Carolina Common
School Journal, "a journal to be issued four times
year, and gratuitously distributed among the ofi-
GERS Of the Common Schools in this State and the
people generally. The Common School Journal con-
tains Ga pages of matter, onehaf of which is in ad-
vertisemcnts of School books for Northern publish
ing houses; by which means the expense of the
publication is betrayed, and the General superin-
tcnent thereby enabled to distribute the work free
Of charge.
The number before us is we'll filled with matter
relating to education and Common Schools, and will
no doubt be highly acceptable to the friends of pop
uar education generally. This enterprise of Mr.
Wiley is most conmendahe one and We trust it
will become permanent. Much good must result
from it, if it be continued, in all probability it will
be. The next number will be issued in December
next.

Bloody seork in Kansas close at hand.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2d.-A correspondent of the
Republican, writing from St. Joseph's, under date
of August 27th says the entire section of country
between Grasshopper Greek and ST. Josephs, is full
of armed bodies of free-soers, and men are moving
along the Western border of the Kickapoo Reserva-
ton.
Capt. Scott and 100 men had gone in that drec-
ton to prevent further accessions. The pro-slavery
party were also statoning strong bodies along the
Northern frontier to prevent ingrcss and egress.
The Missouri River is said to be so well fortified
that Free State forces approach by that route
The Pro-Savery party said to be arranging
plans for speedy concentration of forces at Law

Where is the Democratic newspaper or speaker who ;
does not impress upon the public that Mr. Fillmore
bad or worse than Fremont? Fay. Observer.
We know of no Democratic newspaper or speak,
who is pursuing the course indicated by the Oh.
server 1t is true, Mr.. Fillmore's record on the
slavery question, while in Congress, is as objection
able as that of Seward or Giddings; but even that
is not held up against him except by way of set-o
against false charges on the same subject made
against Mr.. Buchanan. No Southern Democrat, so
far as we know, charges that Mr.. Fillmore is as
bad or worse than Fremont" All Southern men feel
that MIR. Fillmores election would not, in ITSELF de-
stroy the Union; while an authern men feel that
the election OF Fremont would be the sure precur-
ser of dissolution, and probably of civil war. II
The prominent points of difference between Mr..
Buchanan and Mr.. Fillmore, are these: 1st Mr..
Buchanan is soundsf on the slavery question than
Mr.. Fillmore is. The records of the two men tri-
unphantly prove this to be so. I'd. Mr.. Buchanan
nominated, and is sustained by great national
party-a party holding the same principles and
breathing the same sentiments in Portland and in
New Orleans. Mr.. Fillmore was nominated by
portion only of his party, and is supported in one
section on the ground of having favored the repeal of
tie Missouri restriction, and in the other on the
ground of opposition to such repeal. Sd. Mr.. Bu-
chanan is confessedly stronger before the people,
North and South, than Mr.. Fillmore is. His friends
can claim, with absolute certainty, at least fifteen
States whereas, the friends of Mr.. Fillmore cannot,
with certainty, claim one
The Observer adds further
How many Democrats there among your neighbors
who would vote for Fillmore 10 defeat Fremont How
many Americans would do the same for Buchanan"
We know Of many Democrats "who would vote
for Fillmore to defeat Fremont" And we know of
many Americans who will vote for Buchanan to
defeat Fremont. There are thousands of such
/" Americans " and old line Wings in this State, as
the election in November will show. But the ques-
ton is-not what acouM you, but what e0U you do !?
The Observer has put an impossible case. The con-
test is between Buchanan and Fremont; and every
vote, therefore, which shall be cast for Mr. Fillmore
will to that extent weaken Mr.. Buchanan and aid
the black Republican candidate. The most that the
friends of Mr. Fillmore hope to effect, is to
~ the election to the House of Representatives,
That body is divided thus Ten States are Demo-
cratic three States Know Nothing; thirteen
States are black Republican; and FIVE States di-
vded Three Know Nothing States then are ex-
pected to elect President for the thirty States
that is the calculation. But are not the chances
in the House clearly in favor of the black Repubii-
cans? And yet Mr. Fillmores friends are reduced
to the alternative of appealing to black Republi-
can House to elect their candidate
