WHAT AN OLD LINE DEMOCRAT THINKS OF HIM.
A friend and sterling Democrat, who resides in
distant Southern State--a native North Carolinian,
who has been honored by of the Counties in
this State with seat in the Legislature-thus writes
in relation to the opposition candidate for Governor
"Mr McRae have ever regarded as unreliable and
treacherous but the party in your State is now
reaping at his hands what they deserve. Had they
discarded him when he forward distracting
them by opposing Ashe for Congress, instead of re-
warding him by appointment of honor, they
would have been freed from one who, by his talents
and eloquence, wieds pernicous and baneful in
tuence over the minds and destnes of the State ard
people. Leaks aspirations in similar effort were
summarly crushed, as they should have been, while
McRac rises like the coiled serpent to sting the hand
that has nourshed it. 1t gaddens me to hear of the
improvements in my old home, for wherever fortune
may lead me to pass the remnant of my days, my
thoughts and feelings must always turn fondly to
the old North State, and l never cease to wish
Tor her advancement and prosperity"

Cotton Blossoms.


Mr.. G. H. Faribaut, of this county, has sent to
our office full blown cotton blossom, gathered on
the 9th June. This is the first we have heard of
this season in this county.
Mr.. B. S. D. Williams, of this county, has sent us
cotton blossom gathered the 29th June.
The period of blooming last year in the great
cotton region of the South was as late as the Oath
of June; and this year it is set down in the same
region at from the 1st to the 4th of June. We are,
therefore, in this part of the country, but day or
two behind the period of blooming last year in the
hind this year. The largest cotton crop ever gath
cred in this country made in 1855. That year
the first bloom in the far South appeared the
3Oth May, and the earliest frost was October 25th.
AFFAIRS IN UTAH.-There seems to be some doubt
to whether the Mormon troubles have been really
composed Brigham Young, and nearly all "the
Saints, having submitted apparently to the rule Of
Gov. Cumming, have removed to Provo City, which
is south of Great Salt Lake City, and it is said that
Brigham and many others erecting houses at
Provo City, The United States troops had not en-.
tered Salt Lake City, the threat having been made
by the Mormons that all the houses and other pro-
perty would be destroyed by fire in the army
attempted to occupy the place.
The belief exists among many well informed per-
ceceived by Brigham Young. Should this prove to
be the case, the result will be unfortunate, as nc
extra troops supplies voted by Congress fo,
the Mormon expedition, under the belief that the
difficulties had been settled.

a. One of the most amusing articles we have
read lately is in the Register, headed Rally, Dis
tributionists, Rally" The Editor appears to have
walked from deep sleep just before writing it, and
as in duty bound he hurrahs for distribution. He
points his party to the "gorous examples" set
them by the Know Nothrngs in Granville Johnston,
Franklin, Bertie, Wilkes, Beaufort and Pasquotank;
and he proposes a big shout to 20 up from Curr-
tuck to Cherokee, and from Roanoke Cape Fear,
the following effect: " North. Carolina-Her Pros
perity, Her Property, and Her Rights" Very
good, neighbor Syme. We join you in that. Let
any man dare to touch North. Cardinals "Proper-
ty"-let any man dare assai her Rights "-and
where is the VINO does not rejoice in her Pros.
perty?" Very good, brother Syme. We can shout
that all together We can hurrah three times three
over that exceedingly original and thrilling senti-
ment. But what says your candidate for Governor?
He thinks-and you agree with him-that the State
has no prosperity that she is about to be ruin
ed with taxes-that she is in "chronic Decline"
How is it, neighbor Syme?
We are now taxed almost to ruin people are
daily moving away.--UiAon Chronicle.
We have seen no evidences of ruin The State is
constantly increasing in wealth and population
The value of lands has increased not less than
fifty millions of dollars during the last ten years.

and our people producing more of these staples
than at any former period.
How does friend of the Chronicle know that
" our people are daily moving away?" He does not
reside the line of travel to the Western countries
Let him ask our venerable friend of the Hllsborough
Recorder if the stream of emigration through that
town is any thing like what it twenty years
ago. We have "movers no emigrants
passing through this place for several years; and
we feel that the tide of emigration from our
borders ten times greater twenty years ago than
it is now.

and especially the people of New York, where We

Temperance.

Mr.. EDITOR Dear .Sir-IIaving
learned that your paper advocates the
temperance cause, l take the liberty TO
address to you, and with your permission
TO your readers, one or two suggestions
upon the subject.
had the pleasure Of attending a tenn
peranee meeting in your village on Sun
day evening last, and was graiifed to
learn that portion Of the young men of
your town have recently formed tenn
perance society and were actually enga-
ged in procuring signers to the pledge.
This Is well. Let US hope the old tenn
perance pledge is thoroughly revived
again.
1t Is lameutable fac; that very many
of the young men in all parts of our State
as well as elsewhere, are in the habit OIL
pariaking of the Intoxicating cup, and
not few indulge in it to excess. 1t i.
also fact to be deplored that we as tenn.
perance people have relaxed our effort.
TO promote tue cause in the old mora
suasion way to an alarming extent.
Isuggest to your readers the proprie
iyof holding meetings regularly every
Sunday evening, in one Of the churche
in every town in the State. Let all de
nominations and parties unite heartily il
the work. Let them also hold meeting
in the back school districts, and make ey
cry possible effort to induce people t
sign the pledge.
Iwould say fer the encouragement O
those in your place, that similar effort
are being made in other parts of th
State. In one town where I am acquainr
cd, they have formed two societies, one {
adults, and one Of youths. The latte
pledge themselves TO use no intoxicatin
drinks. tobacco, or prOfane language.
Let such societies be formed in ever
town in the State. Let meetings be bel
simultaneously, in each town every wee
tor one year. Letthem be well attend
ed and spiritedly conducted. and We vi
see a temperance reform that will caut
Old King Alcohol to tremble in bis boot
and The devoiees Of the intoxicating Gu
rage and howl ike 50 many demons
Let the ball now set in motion be Ike
rolling.
Yours for Humanity,
