u The election of Col. Stewart. dem,
as Governor of Missouri by $50 majority,
is no unimportant result. Rollins was the
emancipation candidate, and was supported
by Benton democrats and black republi-
cans. 1t is said that Benton used his in
fiuence to secure the election of Rollins,
and all sorts of abuse was resorted to to in
lure Stewart. Missouri is a slave State,
and had she succumbed TO the free soil in
fluence which is pervading her territory,
the evil effects would have been felt by
every Shareholder, and the seeds of aboli-
tionism planted to such depth as to defy
eradication.
The time has come when the South must
knor her friends, and discard all those who
do not plumb the line. The expression
that " SLarery is an erit," could be toler-
ated at one time in our history. but that
period passed away with the inauguration
of northern aggression and interference
The present is no time to make acknowl-
Judgements or concessions to the enemy
he must be resisted resolutely and fearless
ly, without compromise or desire for ces-
sation of hostilities until Southern rights
are secured and guarantee afforded OF
non interference in the future.
Such men as the Benton democrats IL
Missouri and Edward Stanly of our own
State should not be allowed to occupy
respectable position IN the South, much
less offices of honor, trust and power. Lei
US guard against enemies in our own house
hold, and those at a distance can be man
aged and rendered harmless.

RAILROAD CONVENTION.

On the 9th of August, large number
of delegates from Buncombe, Henderson
| and Madison counties, n. c., and Granger
Jefferson, Cooke and Green counties, Ten
nessee, assembled in Convention at the
Warm Springs, n. c., for the purpose OF
considering the best means of securing the
early completion of the N. G.. Central and
and their connection with the various roads
! now in progress in Tenn. and Kentucky.
Jas. w. Patton was chosen President
Several speeches were made, and $33, OOO
additional stock was subscribed to the
Greenville and French Broad Railroad.
The Asheville Spectator, speaking of the
proceedings of the Convention, says:
ave look to a connection with Morgan
ton as among the things that may be when
our children are inhabit:ng the earth but not
among those which are even then very pro-
bable. We believe that our only hope OF
connection with the East is in the extension
of the Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruther-
ford road to this place, but that will not be
until the West boldly and fearlessly asserts
her rights in the Legislative halls of our
State. For years yet to come we can,
therefore, only look TO Tennessee and South
Carolina for outlets to the world"
DIFFICULTY SETTLED.-W. F. Wight
man of the Fayetteville Carolinian, and
Henry e. Cotton of the Asheville Spectator,
met on the 9th of August at Basin Springs,
S. c., according to previous arrangement,
for the purpose of fighting a duel. The
difficulty, however, was settled by the in
reference of mutual friends. Mr-Wight-
man was the challenging party.
