NASH CoUNTY'-The Wilson Ledger calls our atten-
lion to typographical error in our statement of the
vote of Nash County for Senator Instead of giving
the vote of A j. Taylor POI we should have given
it as 7O while Battle his opponent received 7Os votes
beating him by one vote The Ledger may rest assured
that the not Intentional on our part 1t is
painful enough to know that opponents can and do
rejoice over any success in the good old county of Nash
without our seeking to add to the Importance of that
success 1t remains for Mr. Battle prove whether the
fears oil Democrats have been well-grounded. BY a
hearty cooperation with the Democratic party in the
Legislature he can eectualy vindcate his own position
By any other course he will confirm every charge that
has been preferred against his political consistency and
standing as Democrat while he will be giving all the
aid and comfort in his power TO the disorgapizers

The anti-Lecompton electors Of Erie County are
called to meet in their several Wards and Town
ships on the 25th inst and choose four delegates
from each to a County Convention which is to
meet two days afterward and nominate candidates
for Congress, Senator and County Officers. The
Republican and American County Committees
assent to this call subject to the approval of Con-
ventions of their several parties, which will meet
q few days later. So that, in spite Of the general
dissatisfaction felt at the Syracuse fixture, there
will probably be practical union in Erie County,
by which Mr.. Lecompton Hatch will be elected to
stay away from the next Congress. We trust the
Republicans Of Erie will be foremost in proifering
and making oil proper concessions.

OF all the current -tupidties Of an inane and
babbng age. the cant about " settling the Siarery
question" is the most preposterously provoking.
We have had it Settled" half dozen times within
the last dozen years, and each settlement has
proved the precursor of new and more violent
agitation The rustic who, encountering river in
his first journey, sat down 10 await its running
itself dry, was 4 sage and scholar compared with
him who, in view Of our recent experience, talks
of settling the Slavery question" For this is
not only the main question-it is the fertile source
of agitatons and collisions on points remote from
and apparently unrelated 10 it. And no settlement
thereof can be permanent real which is not all
embracing. Whenever Slavery shall have ceased
TO exist, or shall have yanquished sll shades Of
repugnsnce, all forms of opposition 10 its sway,
then the Slavery question" will be 50 settled"
and not till then. Ii, meantime, every point of
difference hitherto raised were fully decided in
favor of Slavery, and no new ones proposed or
raised on our side, the Slavery question" would
be Immediately revived by some fresh exactien or
pretepse on the other side. II is with Slavery rs

II is announced in the papers that Gov. Denver
is 10 resign his office as Territorial Executive o
Kansas. Is there another plot in preparah0a
against that unhappy Territory Hitherto tho
Administration at Washington has preluded eaeA
new blow by turning out the then incumbsst
Governor and sending new one. Does the turn
ing out of Denver foreshadow some new sttemk
against the rights aud liberties of that brave an
long suffering people To be sure II is not stated
that Denver has been turned out, but only that h
has resigned. Gov. Walker also resigned and bic
case is sufficient 20 show that the difference
between resigning and being turned out is some
times quite immateral. Ii must be admitted tAst
Denver has done enough according to the pro-
gramme hitherto followed to cause him to y
turned out dozen times over. He has initiated
the examples set by Reeder Geary and Walker d
showing direct respect for the rights and wsAss
Of the people Of Kansas--a course which tAoe
Governors had no sooner entered upon thaa i
brought them into serious displessure at Wnk

informed, to give any countenance to fraudulent
voting or false returns-a course which hitherto
has not failed TO produce the speedy removal Of
any Governor of Kansas who had tho temerty

Mr. Buchanans course in allowing Denver
