his remarks
"McRae Sanders, Venable, Canaday, Arlington,
and other prominent Democrats but the repre-
sentatives of large Distribution Democratic party
in the State, and the result on Thursday will prove
it. and show that reason has resumed her sway, and
the Standards party whip lost its potency"
To the "result on Thursday" We appeal. Let
that decide the issue. "McRae Sanders, Venable,
Canaday, Arlington, and other prominent" disor-
ganizng demagogues will certainly be beaten, and
the distribution humbug hobby, with all its riders,
will 90 under The i" Standards party whip lashes
none but the enemies of Democratic principles, and
for them it has a keen thong. The Register is
Enthusiastically dignifed in its illusions to that
."whip." But We beg your pardon, neighbor Syme,
since you have no party which to crack your
whip It is distributed among the fag ends and fac.
tons of dsafFected and disappointed soreh headed
office seekers; and we advise you to provide your
self with ropes to bind up the discordant and dis
jonted parts You couldn't it together with all
the quicksilver in the State.
W The Register is greatly alarmed at the pros
pect Thursday next, and therefore concludes that
every body else is alarmed. That paper of Satnr-
day says, ait is as plain to US as the paper on
which we write, that the anti distribution leaders
and organs look forward with apprehension and
doubt to the result of next Thursdays work.
"Optics keen 1t takes, ween,
To what is not to be SEEM"
We never felt less doubt as to the result of an
election than we do now. The Democrats will carry
the Legislature by from thirty to fifty joint bal.
lot, and will elect Judge Ellis by large majority

We are happy to inform our contemporary that
Judge Biggs is alive and well. His Sena.orship is
deceased" he resigned it to accept the appoint:

worthily fills. We would also enlighten our cotem-

| N. G. RAILROAD We recently travelled over this
Road from Raleigh to High Point, and found it in
fine order, making good time, and the travel consid
erably increased. Every thing we saw bore testi-
mony to efficient management. We learn that large
quantities of wheat and -four are just now passing
down the Road to market.
| At High Point we saw number of boxes of to.
bacco, labelled for the Georgia market. Large
quantities of this staple, in its manufactured state
are sent from Caswe, Rockingham Stokes. Forsyth
and Surry Counties, by way of Charlotte to the
Southern States
HAw RIVER HousE.-On a recent trip to Salem
we took dinner at this house, the N G. Railroad
and found it greatly improved from what it some
months since. Mr.. Mitchell keeps excellent table
has polite and attentive servants and gives his whole
time and attention to his guests. 1t is to the inter
est of every Railroad to have good houses of the
kind along the line; and the house kept by Mr.
Mitchell cannot fail to add to the travel and render il
more agreeable on the Central Road.
