1t is not our object in this brief article to say one
word personally about the candidates for the Charlotte
nomination. They all good Democrats, and either
or any of them if nominated would receive our cordial
support Neither do we design finding fault with the
course of any Of contemporaries of the Democratic
presset them pursue whatever course their own udg
ments may dictate provided it be not such course as
will tend to controversy in the party 1t is our object
our sole object now, to say what can in depreciation
of any undue and therefore unnecessary feeling upon
the subject of the nomination. Conversation with gen
emen from different parts of the State has convinced us
that our fears of the sprngng up of such excitement
have been only too we'll founded. We regret this. 1t
can do no good. 1t cannot promote the interests
Or prospects of the particular gentlemen urged forward
by the zeal Of partizans. Above all, attacks upon
opposing asprants must result not only in doing no
good, but certainly in doing positive harm.
We have three weeks yet to go upon before the DEM
Ocratic Convention meets at Charlotte. Why should
not these three weeks be rather spent in aaynS than
in increasing excitement? Why should Brown quarrel
with Smith about the respective claims chances of this
man or that? What is convention called for but to
afford chance for fair and gOodhumored solution Of
all these questions? Let us go for the nominee

BSs@ Mr.. Calhoun the President of the Lecompton
Convention has given certificates of election to the Free
State officers in Kansas having thrown out the returns
from Delaware Crossing which he now says he is salts
fed were fraudulent Well, perhaps so. The Lord only
knows what and what is not fraudulent where Kansas
is concerned. We sometimes think Kansas is humbug;
but then the for trying to get rid of it.
Somebody in the Legislature of Georgia introduced
resolution for the employment of certain number of
Irish laborers to cut ditch round the abolition State OF
Vermont and quoting the very words of the resolution
float the id thing into the Atlantic Ocean, which
would not be easy, Vermont is interior State
We would almost like to get the Georgian and his Irish
laborers afou of Kansas perhaps they might raft it
down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers into the Gulf
of Mexico where, under tropical sun it would form
another Cuba. John Mitchell in account of trip
to New Orleans says that they do say that of the
ardent friends Of the annexation of Cuba assert right
to the island as American soil, which, they contend,
was Goated down with the current of the Mississippi
til it grew into solid formation and finally became
the gem of the Antilles" Now, if Kansas could be
got down that way it would be mcrciful change all
around.
The L" Y = correspondent OF the Baltimore Sun pre-
diets the passage Of the Senate bill for the admission Of
Kansas by majority in the House. and thinks that the
vote will be taken in the latter body by Saturday
We have our doubts of its being taken soon although
even the time occupied upon this matter and the
speeches delivered have exceeded those devoted to any
single measure that has ever been before Congress. A
feeling is gaining strength among all parties that this
matter ,n"d he disposed of and that soon.

Mr.. EDlroE: In your paper of yesterday you stated
that money raised some time since to put the
Mercantile Library Association in successful operation
and asked if anybody tell what has become of the
Institutions
The amount raised was only about $4OO being one
years fees from those who proposed to become members
and it has been expended i'll fitting up and furnishing
the room adjoining Messrs. Rankin & Martins office,
where the Library now is in rent of same and for few
Maps Magazines, &c. The present room being out of
the way, and entirely unsuitable for their purpose,
application is understand to be made to the Commits
soners of the Town to appropriate of the fine
in Town Hall for the of the Association
AS as it is done effort will be made to put
the Mercantile Library in successful and permanent OPP
Grafton.
From the interest manifested by citizens in this
subject and with the aid Of lectures in the new Tina
lian Hall for its benefit, think there will be little DIFF
fculty in establishing Library which will be source
Of pleasure, and improvement to the DID, the middle aged
and the youth of our community
Yours, &c, "ANYBODY.'

War DEMoRAcY HAS DoNsA---Tho
Baltimore Clipper very properly asks,
..what has Democracy done for the coun-
try, that II should aspire TO rule its des.
tiaics. II has inundated the nation with
foreign fanatics, and panpers. IL has do
priyed operatives of earning an honest
livelihood. 1t has produced destructive
financial pan:c-generated bread riots,
and endangered the safety of the public
funds II has emboldened foreigners to
demand that they shall be supported az
the public cxpenso--and it is leading TO
anarchy, bloodshed, agrarianism, andruin.
