HON. BEDFORD BROWN.

Last week we had the pleasure of seeing
and renewing the acquaintance of the Hon.
Bedford Brown of Caswen county. He is
one of the " old time" democrats, and q
conversation with him was both pleasant
and instructive to us. Mr. Brown was first
elected to the Senate of the U. States from
North Carolina in 1928, and was re- elected
for another term, which position he occu-
pied, with Hon. Robt. Strange of Fayette-
vile, as his colleague, until instructed out
by wing Legislature with K. Rayner at
its head. AS sound, reliable, consistent
democrat, Bedford Brown has no superiors
AS courteous, affable and unassuming
gentleman, but few equals. While in the
Senate he distinguished himself By speeches
In opposition to what was known as the
Force Bill" flor subjugating South Car
olina-) and in favor of the "Expunging
Resolutions" He discharged his duty to
his constituents and party faithfully, salts
factorily and fearlessly.
After leaving the Senate he removed to
Missouri, but few years ago he returned
to North Carolina to spend the remainder
of his days among his old friends and &C
quaintances, which we hope will be as
pleasant and agreeable to him, as it will be
to his numerous party admirers.

A N. CAROLINA ABo11r1oN1sr.

The course of Edward Stanly, in accept
ing the black republican nomination for
Governor of California, is humiliatine and
injurious to the South. 1t is humiliating
because Stanly had been honored and trust
ed by North Carolinians as true southern
man it is injurious, because it will mislead
northern fanatics as to the real feelings of
southern people. Abolitionists have always
contended that they had sympathizers, aid
ers and abettors in the South to far great
er extent than we were willing to acknowl-
edge, and now they can point to Stanly's
letter of acceptance as proof, and urge the
North to continue its crusade against our
rights and institutions with the hope of
gaining recruits from southern ranks.
AS they were obliged to do, most of the
whig papers in this State have condemned
Stanly and disapproved of his conduct
But we regret to see that the Wilmington
Herald is inclined to apologize for the
course of the traitor by saying THAT upon
the subject of slavery there is no real diff
ference between the Democracy and the
Black Republicans" How dare the Her
aid make such an assertion with past events
staring it in the face. Who. in Congress
and out, have voted to secure to the South
her rights-who have employed their pens
and voices in defending our institutions
Are they not members of the democratic
party! And by whom have they been bit
terly opposed and resisted =! The records
will show that the national democratic party
has been fought to the bitter end by black
republicans, aided by know-nothings every
where. The Wilmington Herald knows
this, yet it sees proper to make the asser-
ton that there is no difference between the
two parties. The history of political afltllrs
proves the contrary.

THE PORK MARKET IN PROSPECT
During the last two months good deal has
been done at Cincinnati in the way of con-
tracts for November delivery. The Price
Current of that city says:
I'm the early part of June, when it was
thought quite doubtful that even moderate
corn crop could be made, the disposition to
make these contracts was strong and very
general throughout the West, and within
the last month, when it became apparent
that the markets would be entirely cleared
of the old stocks of provisions before the
new would come in, the demand, which had
subsidized some during the fore part of July,
again become more active and prices ad-
vanced.
During the later part of June and the
fore part of July So SO per cwt, seemed to
be the prevailing rate, and at which we
heard of contracts to the extent of 1000
head. During the latter part of July,
So Is was paid for 1000 head for Novem-
Der delivery, and Sc so for the fore part of
December. Within the last two weeks
about 5000 head were sold, for November
delivery, at 81 per cwt., net. The impress
sion is pretty generally entertained that the
pork brought into market early will COM
mand high prices.
According to our advices from Illinois,
there is an active demand for hogs in that
State at Sc net. with more buyers than
sellers.
