NOTES ON THE CANvAss.-The champions of De-
mocracy in this State have everywhere entitled
themselves to the full need of praise. They have
manfully done their duty, in advocating the Demo.
cratic cause and in exposing the foul heresies of
Know Nothingism. The people have evinced their
appreciation of their efforts by cordially responding
to their appeals and rolling up an overwhelming ma.
iority in their favor I" Well done good and faith.
full servants" is the benedcton bestowed upon them
by the people.
Our own District Elector, William F. Martin,
Esq, has ably and faithfully discharged the response
BILE trust confided to him: He has asslduously de-
voted himself to the arduous duties of his position
and his eloquent arguments have had their effect
upon the popular mind. He has borne aloft our
proud standard and his party has reason to be proud
of the power and effect with which he bore himself
throughout the canvass.
It is due to the Hon. 81. M. Shaw, our accom-
plished Elector for the State at large that should
state that during the greater part of the canvass he
was confined to his bed by dangerous illness, from
which he is but now slowly recovering He made
several able and telling speeches during the early
part Of the canvass and we feel warranted in say
ing, from our knowledge of his zeal in the cause,
that but for his untimey illness, his eloquent voice
would have been heard from one end Of the State
to the other in gallant championship of Democratic
principles. Lem. Pioneer.

NIGGERs AND PATRIoTIsM.-Mr. Clingmans Char
lotte letter to have thrown the whole batch of
Southern Know Nothing Union :shrekers" into
spasms. The K. N. Editors of the State seem to
think he had special allusion to them as the indi-
viduals who would have been promptly taken care
of by vigilance committees had the crisis but short
time since SO much feared, come upon US. As Mr..
Buchanan is elected, and there will be no occasion
for vigilance committees to watch the interests
OF Southern communities, at least for the next four
years, advise these nervous gentlemen to dismiss
their fears, and no longer suffer themselves to be
disturbed by such ugly visions.
The main argument relied upon by those gentle
men TO weaken the force of Mr.. Cingmans position,
and if possible injure him in the estimation of the
Southern people, is the oft repeated story that he is
not Shareholder. Wonderful logic! Worthy of
its ustrious authors !! Tried by this rule, ninety
nine hundredths of the soldiers of the Revolution
we're not patriots And by the same process of
reasoning, We must conclude that large majority
of those who fought the battles of the country in
the late war with Mexico were not patriots. Take
the gallant company that went from this county, for
example, and how many of them were shareholders
Not one in twenty Were not these men patriots ?
Their country has honored them as such, and they
richly deserved it.
Mr.. Clngman although Southern man by birth,
education, interest," feeling, and every tie which can
bind man to his section, and thoroughly identified
with the South by past efforts in her behalf and by
all his hopes for the future is not STAKEHOLDER and
cannot therefore, according to these neo lights, be
comes very appropriately from the K. N press.
How long will Know Nothing editors continue to
insult the good sense of the community with such
twaddle-the natural offspring of an efete arstocra
cy disgusting to the intelligent stakeholder as to
everybody else? Asheostte Neaos.

The READING QuALlF1cAr1oN.-Itis said that four
hundred persons in Connecticut were deprived Of
their vote this month by the constitutional pro-
vision requiring that they should know how to read
and write, FIN order to vote. This provision was
brought forward and passed by the know nothings
of the State. The Philadelphia Ledger says:
"Connecticut is the first State that has made an
attempt to disfanchse free citizen. 1t is desra-
BILE that every man should possess those aids to
Notwithstanding and writing-but we should
not fall into the error of installing the mere nstru
mentaltes for intelligence itself A man may know
how to think correctly who knows nothing at all of
reading and writing and some that can do both the
latter have no original thinking pc wer. he latter
are less capable of exercising the right of suffrage

WHAT Coop DID Mr.. FILLMoRE's RUNNING Do
1T is commended by some persons and presses that
Mr. Buchanan the of his election to the
fact that Mr.. Fillmore was candidate.
Let us test the value of this opinion. 1t will
hardly be said that Mr.. Fillmore aided Mr.. Buchan-
an in the State of New York. for Mr.. Buchanan will
not receive the electoral votes Of that State-the
same can be said of all the New England States Mr..
Fimore's running did not help Mr.. Buchanan in
Pennsylvania for the democratic ticket obtained more
votes in that State than the Fillmore and Fremont
ticket united
Mr. Fillmore's running prevented the democratic
candidate from receiving the electoral vote of Mary
land, and hence he afforded no help to the democra-
cy in that State.
In Ohio Mr.. Fillmore was of no service to the de-
mocracy for that State carried by the black re-
pubcans.
In Indiana the democracy triumphed over the
Fillmore and Fremont fusion.
In Illinois, if reports are reliable, the democracy
have triumphed in spite of fusion, Fillmore, FIRE.
mont, and every thing else.
In New Jersey Buchanan received about as many
votes as Fillmore and Fremont united.
Inasmuch as Michigan and Wisconsin have gone
for Fremont, Mr.. Fillmore did not aid the democracy
in those States.
In all the southern States the Fillmore party OPP
posed the democracy. Where, then did the know
nothing candidate benefit the democratic nominee !?
Will some of the wise men of the know nothing
party bring up some reliable data upon which to
sustain the opinion that Mr.. Buchanan owes a single
electoral vote which he requires to elect him to the
presidency to any effort the part of Mr.. Fill
mores friends?
Mr.. Buchanan owes his election to the votes of
the national democracy of the Union, aided by thou
sands of conservative, constitutional whgs and not
to knOw-nothingism or black republicanism.

MRBrMa OF TIE NoRTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURES
The general assembly Of North Carolina commenced
its biennial session at Raleigh on Monday last the
18th inst a full attendance of members was pres
ent, and an organization of the two houses was com.
pleted the same day by the election Of W. W. Ave-
and of Jesse g.. Shepherd, Esq, of Cumberland,
speaker Of the house Of commons Hon. John Hill
was chosen principal clerk of the senate and Quen
tin Bdsbee, Esq, reading clerk, both unanimously.
Edward Cantweil and George Howard, Esqrs., were
elected principal and reading clerks of the house,
Both branches of the legislature being largely dem.
ocratc, these gentlemen are all members Of that
party. The message of Gov. Bragg was to have
been sent in on Tuesday.
The gentlemen chosen to preside over the delib-
eratons of the legislature belong to the young and
working democracy Of this now reliable democratic
State. Mr.. Avery comes from the western portion
of the State where for several years he sustained
the banner of democracy and defended its cause
against an Overwhelming majority Of the people and
the whole bar of the mountain circuit Truth has
prevailed against error other have struck for
sound principles and that section of the State has
been revoutionized. Mr.. Avery enjoys much per-
sonal popularity having been repeatedly elected to
the house of commons in his own county, giving q
large ant.democratic majority. The present is his
first appearance in the senate. He was member OF
the Cincinnati Convention and held the honorable
position as chairman of the North Carolina delega-
ton. Mr. Shepherd is representative of the east,
and is alawyer of y.increasng reputation. He
has served one session a member of the house,
where he distinguished himself as leading and use
full member. The unanimity with which these ex-
cellent presiding officers have been chosen is an
omen of the harmony to prevail during the deliber
atoms of the session and realization of the bene
fits accruing to the State from Democratic control

He WILL NEVER BE FoRGoTrEN.-The telegraph
informs us (says the Memphis AppeaD that the leg
isature of Michigan elect is republican, and that
General Cass will be defeated for the Senate. Such
news is calculated to cast chill over every good
man and true patriot in the country. A man who,
in his endeavors to save the Union from the various
isms that have sprung up within the past few years,
is BEATEN and the sectionalists of the North rejoice
over their victory such victory would have been
reoiced by the tories of the revolution had the
news been received that the American army, led by
Washington, at the battlefield of Yorktown, was de-
feated. When such gloating takes place over the
defeat of a wetried servant, who has devoted more
years than are usually allotted to man. in the service
Of his country, and who, through that vast period
of time has been true to the soho Union it is time
for americans those worthy OF the name-to rise
in their might and sustain second Cincnnatus from
the assaults of impacable foe who would see the
Union torn in shreds to carry out their fanatical
designs Although beaten by the black rcpub!i,
cans, his many virtues and noble deeds are still
green in the memory of the national men of the
United States. General Cass wi msoer be forgotten!

The LEGISLATURE.

The first week of the session has passed. and both
houses have fully organized and appointed their
Committees. They are now prepared to proceed
with their labors.
There are several subjects of Importance which
will engage the attention of the two houses Let
us hope that there will be as little as possible of
party discussions and party bitterness and that al
will unite and labor together to promote the inter-
ests and advance the prosperity of our beloved
State. =
The general impression appears to be that the
present session will not be as proracted as former
ones.
