staunch friend Of the administration Of james Bu-
chanan, sound Democrat, and true 70 his party on
all the issues Of the day. He sppeaIs before the
people regularly, and in accordance with time hon
ored Democratic custom,-As is no dsorganiles,
seeking his own promotion 1t the expense Of the
party to which he processes to belong Let Us rally
to him, brother Democrats and not merely elect
him. but give him such majority as will place our
cause high above all future approaches Of the ene-
my. and at the same time rebuke, as they deserve
to be rebuked, those dsorganizers and that combi-
nation of Know Mornings and federalists who arc
supporting Duncan K. McRae. Let ecery true Dem
ocrat do his duty bettoeen this and the election and
great and glorious uietory soiU cSo,on our Efforts
Duncan X. McRae is the candidate of the opposi-
ton for Governor-that is, of the federalists, the
disorganizers, and the Know Nothings. "a man is
known by the company he keeps" Distribution is
his issue. At one time he was against it-now be
is for it. In 1852 he declared it impolitc and I'M
constitutional in 1853 he ran for Congress Is it's
advocate, urging the people to 60 for their only
hope; but no sooner nas he offered an important
foreign mission than he abandoned the issue, &C.
cepted the mission, and went abroad. Judge ye,
fellow citizens, of his sincerity ao,o by what be did
then
Neither is Mr.. McRae friend of Mr.. Buchanan's
administration. He opposes the admission of Kan
sas, with the Lecompton Constitution, as recon-.
mendcd by the President; and he has censured the
President for appointing Mr. Biggs a judge and
Gov. Bragg for appointing Mr.. Clngman Senator
He finds no fault with the Know Nothines who
are supporting him. but he has nothing but censures
for Buchanan and Bragg. Yet he processes to be
Democrat. He is not a Democrat. He took ground
in his Dancy letter, in November last against the
organization and the usages Of the party and he
has abored ever since to dsorganze and break down
the Democratic party of the State. He is not De-
"aoe'ut. Think you, brother Democrats, that the
Raleigh Register, the Wilmington Herald, and the
Know Nothings generally would support Democrat
for Office? Why, they were soorn not to do it two
years ago! Who released them from their oath?
Remember these things, and act accordingly.
But Mr.. McRae can scarcely hope to be elected
Governor. He IS acorking for the Legislature-
There are two United States Senotors to elect and
important State offices to be filled. This, then is
the point to be guarded. Let only defeat him
for Governor, he expects to be defeated, but let
us unite in all the Counties to secure the Legislature
and thus ensure continued Democratic represen.
tation of the State in the Senate of the Union. Let
our motto be "union and harmony-euerything 70,
the cause and nothing for men," Triumphant fol
the last eight years, have only to pU it and to
scork, to be triumphant again in August next
