In Halifax county we found every body looking
forward to a warm canvass and close vote. So
far as we could learn both sides have brought out
their strongest men. The democrats have nominated
DR.. Matt Whitaker for the Senate, and VIM. Hill
and j. w. johnson, Esqs, for the Commons. The
opposite party have brought out Mr.. Virgins,
former Senator, as a candidate for reelection and
nominated Messrs. Smith and Brckle for the Com
MONS The candidates for sheriff are Snow, Demo-
crat, and Zolcoffer, X. N. Unless are mistaken,
the Democrats have the farest chance for carrying
the county. Gov. Bragg got aattering vote in
Halifax two years ago, and will get an equally fat
tering one in August next
On the Cars, and at various places on the route,
as we'll as at the place of speaking We saw gentle
men from several different counties, as Nash, Edge
combe, Wayne, Green, &C.. and the universal opin.
ion expressed was that there would be decidedly
increased vote for Bragg.
The Gov is in good health and capital spirits, and
his canvass through the State has increased his
fdence in the success ofDemocratic principles.
We trust to sec the candidates in this section az
ter present appointments over, which will be af-
ter the 18th. Wilmington Journal

of much thoroughness, commendable application,
and fine scholarship. This department, under the
auspices of Mr. M. 7. Chappell, presents rare ad-
vantages to young men desiring q thorough, solid,
and finished education. We are pleased to learn
that the prospects Of the school are very favorable,
and that it has goodly number of students.
The exercises in defamation came off in the al
ternoon and were highly entertaining and very cred
liable to the youthful speakers.
The next session of both departments will com
mence on the LIST Monday in July.
The usual address to the students was delivered
by Mr. Geo. w. Blount recently of Wake Forest
College It is not our intention to indulge in full
some praise but we cannot do less than pronounce
it an admirable speech, conceived with much taste,
handsomely and neatly delivered, and exhibited the
graces of an orator The held the a-
dicnce enchanted for nearly half an hour by his elo-
quence, and on conclusion, was loudly applauded.
Mr.. Blount is ayoung man of fine promise "a beau
tiful writer, and an elegant declamer. We predict
for him q future of much usefulness and honor:

cheerfully comply with the wishes of Mr.. Stanford

ORANGE COUNTY

MEssRs EDIToRs: The Democratic Convention,
assembled in Hillsborough on Tuesday last, was
large and enthusiastic part of Orange Coun-
ty being represented.
The Democratic ticket is as follows: Cad Jones,
Jr., for the Senate, and John F. Lyon and William
F. Strayhorn for the Commons. This is strong
ticket, ana if the Democrats will be true, to it will
carry "Old Orange" for our party in August next.
Gen. Allison, the old war horse of Democracy, adj.
dressed the Convention in excellent speech, re-
pete with sound republican sentiments and bitter de-
nunciation ofKnow Nothingism. Though his head is
covered with the frost of many winters he has all
the fire of youth when battling for his political prin
ciples and the success of the Democratic cause.
Sidney Smith, Esq, was loudly called for, and he
dwelt with much eloquence upon the character Of
James Buchanan his long experience in public life,
his exalted talents, his distinguished services in
whatever position he has been tried whether at the
bar in the halls of Congress- Secretary of State,
or as a representative of his country at foreign
courts. He spoke with much beauty of sentiment
upon the private character of Buchanan, and said
he one upon whose fair fame no stain was to
be found. That he would be called to the Executive
chair by almost the reclamation of the American
people He closed by stirring appeal to every
Democrat present to buckle on his armour, and not
to relax his exertions until victory had perched up
on our banner. A DEMOCRAT.

''But had laugh at goose, yesterday, with

with my wagon full of children, the air over our
head was suddenly darkened by the wings of q
very big bird-my neighbours fattest waddler, who,
chased by dog had concluded to take up feathers
and fly the barn, and take refuge in the
liable and long tried bosom of the river. But it

CArAwBA Co., N. c., June 6, 1856.
MEssRs. EDroRs: wish, through the columns Of
your excellent Standard to make short statement
of the examination of the students of Catawba Col
lege, which came off last Wednesday and Thursday.
A deep interest was manifested all the while; and
the streets Of Newton-a beautiful little village
were thronged with ladies and gentlemen from the
several surrounding counties. During the exami-
nation of the students large and attentive audience
graced the occasion-satsfied with the manner in
which the several classes acquitted themselves.
was forcibly struck with the manner in which the
Modern Language department acquitted itself; the
accuracy of the pronunciation, and the fuency in
translating. Undoubtedly this department cannot
be exceled in any common college, if in any. In
truth, the Professors of this infant school labor to
teach practically as well as theoretically; and l am
fully persuaded that parents will do we'll to send
their boys here. The college is we'll worthy lib
eral support; and from the moral character of its
becoming depraved by sending him here
On Thursday evening the defamation came off in
the German Reformed church. Only six speeches
were permitted to be spoken, commencement is al
ways at the end of the fall SESSION. three from each
society-Philomathean and Athensean; and we'll
did those young men discharge their duty.
"Their words had such melting flow,
And spoke of truth so sweetly we'll;
They dropp'd like heavens screnest snow,
And all was brightness where they fell"
at the close Of each speech, and amidst the almost
deafening cheers from the large audience, the Ca
tawba Brass Band would strike up beautiful sir.
Happily did that evening pass, and long will it be
remembered by all those who were present.
Below l add lis. of the speakers. Those in itaz-
ig are Athen@ans-the others Philomatheans

charge whatever of sectionalisns against Mr. Gilmer
yet the latter consumed considerable of his time in
defending himself against charges of that sort made
he said, by the organ Of the party" at Raleigh
he went on to show that the Western Address had
served its purpose, and might be regarded as among
the things that were. He attempted to defend his
course on the Free Suffrage bill-sayine that if the

obvate that objection and to render the bill accent

Mr.. Gilmer seemed to abandon the idea of n b.,l
