There Is a Governor to be Elected.

In the excitement growing out OF the conte lor tne
Sheray there appears to be some reason to lear mat
the Governors election will be forgotten or neglected.
Whether or not the office of Sheriff be worth all that it
is sometimes said to be worth is than we can say
but this much is certain, that it is agood Office and well
worth having and re do not blame any of the gentle
men running either for seeking it, or for doing their
best to obtain it. 1t is natural.
But the thing is this These gentlemen and their
friends will set their claims before the people and urge
them to 90 to the polls in their support No fears but
that will be attended to- But that is a matter in which
we do not care to interfere We have candidate for
whom we feel at full liberty to say all we can-who de-
serves all we can say for him. and is worthy of all the
support OF every Democrat and every conservative
man in the State. That candidate is JOHN W
ELLIS and he is running for the Office of Governor Of
North Carolina Let no Democrat, or conservative
Of any party, forget that much. Vote for Ellis
sure and then vote for Sheriff as your better judgments
not your passions preudiceS may lead you But re
member first to VOTE FOR ELLIS-to WORK
FOR ELLIS for be assured the Office of Sheriff Is fa
enough to obtain plenty Of people to work Tor 1T; but
the Democratic candidate for Governor is in distant par
Of the State finishing up most toisome canvass,-on
which tries the health and the endurance of the strong
est. He has little in emolumens to give or get Hell
simply the representative Of principles and measures
the standardbearer of the Democratic party In the
ent canvass and while be is working in one direction
he must throw himself upon his friends to work Tor hin
in another. Upon their fidelity to principle he places
his trust-a trust which ought not to be- and must not
be beuayed,--Dnily Journal, 3lst uh.

Changes his Ground and Denies the Record.

Changes
Last week, ON the 21st instant, believe Messrs.
Ellis McRae spoke at Webster, jackson county be
fore good audience, mostly Democrats. Mr. McRae
told the people that he would go for further appropria-
tions after his two years had expired That they could
not need it before That he had expressed this sent
ment all through the East That the reason he had said
there that the road would cost ten millions of dollars,
and that the gap in the Mountains would make the
peoples pockets cape wide open was because he want
ed to calculate the COST prudent man should do,
when he undertakes great work. He charged Judge
Ellis with having been negecul of their Railroad inter
ests, when he made so low an estimate. That he Mr.
McRael had the West and their Railroad interests in
his eye when be made larger estimate, and prepared
the minds of the Eastern people for made them ready
to face the music.
Was Mr.. McRae really in favour of going even farth
er than Judge Ellis in favour of grants to the West
while he denouncing all grants all taxation at the
East Were his fearful pictures of taxation-his oppo
sion to any additional debts, appropriations or taxa
tons only SO many capital jokes never meant to be
believed or is his position in the mountains the joke
and his position in the East the serious one
Somebody will be nightly fooled by his witty changes
But Mr.. McRae, we understand, denied at Webster
and perhaps elsewhere in the West the accuracy of the
Journals report of his speech at Clinton. The power
of mountain air is wonderul-ts Alternative effects be
yold credence While Mr.. McRae breathcd the lcsE
elastic air of the East he never offered any objection
that report to the positions assigned to him or gver
as his and yet Judge Ellis read from that report Al

political canvass draws to Close and even its few remain

weather the efforts of candidates and asprants become
only the more powerful and unremitting It is hot
work, and we should think hard work. Even to us
sitting writing it is something to survive through -
something, the recurrence of which we dread. Why
should elections and the fourth of July and all manner
of exciting events come in the middle of our almost
tropical summer. Man is salamander and can stand
nearly anything but boys can stand more. We noticed
the other night, night just as hot as the hot day
which it closed big tarbarre burning before stand

white mana man with good-ooking clean shaved
face and person clad in good clothes, lying the

that settled on his face 1t is an unusual sight in
quiet town--a painful one anywhere. OF course, the

FOR THE SENATE,
Hon. WIN. S. ASHE.
FOR THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
GEORGE J. MOORE,
R, K, BRYAN.

Why should not this ticket be voted in its entirety
What objection there to Mr. Moore or to Mr. Bryan
Are either less reliable Democrats than Mr. Shepard
or less intelligent men? The answer must be-No
Then if party faith be anything-if party principles be
anything, if party harmony be anything if fair dealing
be anything, let us appeal in the name Of them all to
our fellow Democrats of the county to go the ticket
through and to allow no diSorganizng movements to
distract them.
Let us add this farther. We feel the utmost conf
dence in saying in fact feel authorized in saying that
none of the candidates for Sheriff have any connection
sympathy with this movement. They all regret and
deprecatc it. Why should it not be dropped before any
farther harm has been done?

The Course of True Love.

About thirty years ago, says the Louisville Journal
when Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer was bridegroom and
the present Lady Bulwer his BRIDE that exquisite noet
ess, L. E. L." Uetitia E. Landon,) wrote and nnh.
lshed an account of their characters and personal an
pearance. They were both quite young and each Of
them in delicate health The bridegroom was described
as pale and fascinating, and the bride was painted as
fragile and tairyike creature of surprising lovelne
The tender tnts of her cheek were said to be like rose
leaves couched on ivory" The description was read
everywhere, and the public admiration and the public
sympathy were deeply excited for the young pair who
it was thought must soon pass away from a world too
coarse and rude for such gentle and lovely natures as
theirs. All, little dreamed the reader then that after
q very few years, the gentle bridegroom would strike
the tender bride that she would seek redress by pub
fishing series of coarse fierce and vituperatve novels
and pamphlets against him, and that, after few more
years, she grown to be sturdy redaced and muscular
woman would pursue him in his canvass for parliament
take her stand upon the hustngs in reply to his public
speeches, call upon him to confront him, shout coward
at him in his precpitate flight from her presence and
announce her determination to persecue him till he
should cry for mercy and humby make her amends for
all his villainies.

had been mistaken but regret to say that it is
So That this move has been made, and further thai
bills up yesterday announcing the fact besides,
learn that these bills have been sent all over the Coun
ty and will no doubt be posted up at every precinct
If we could employ stronger language in reproba-
ton OF this movement than wedd on Saturday we would
do so. If We could say more than that it is wrong it is
undemocratic it dsorganzng, it is unjust, we would
say so. If we could use stronger language of remon
STRANGE with the gentlemen connected with this
movement, we would do so. We would appeal to them
to all Democrats-to look at the effects of the move
ment We are all fighting for the success of John W.
Ellis the nominee of the Democratic State Convention
for the office Of Governor. We all regard this move

Judge Ellis and the Fayetteville and Western
We take pleasure in being able to offer our cotempo
rary Of the Observer and the citizens of Fayetteville
generally the positive assurance that all the doubts
surmises, raised relative to any change of Judge Ellis
position with reference to wholly groundless
In order to do this satisfactorily induced to dev
ate from usual course and take the liberty of making
an extract from private letter from Judge Ellis to one
of the Editors of this paper dated Rutherordton July
29th 1853
Speaking of our former reference to this matter he
says: You are right. The query of Mr. Woodfn
referred exclusively to the Western Extension. His
note shows it. Before the same audience, and at
the time declared myself for the Fayetteville
and Coal Fields Road, and the Wilmington, Charlotte
and Rutherford Road unequivocally, as heretofore
read from the Observer of the Oath of May giving an
account of my speech at Fayetteville and also from the
Journal giving account Of the Clinton discussion as
expressing my views on the question of Railroads
have read from the Journal every stump since as ex-
pressing my authorized views The audience at Ash
vile bear witness to the above
We really think this ought to be satisfactory 1t is
what we knew all along but trust that this plain
statement to Of Judge Ellis position will give Others
the same assurance 1t shows nothing newt makes
no new promises, but it removes all suspicion of any
change any abandonment Of any position assumed at
the outside by the Democratic candidate.
