TO THE PEOPLE OF JOHNSTON COUNTY.
FELLOW. CITIZENS: Many of you are, doubtless,
aware that have declared myself a candidate for
reelection for the Office Of Sheriff at the approaching
election in August, but circumstances over which
have no control impel me 10 apprize you that l am
not a candidate for re. election When was young
and inexperienced in business was induced by my
friends in Johnston to become candidate for this
office, and was elected. notwithstanding my youth,
by very large majority. Twas candidate for re-
election two years ago. and was triumphantly elected
by an overwhelming majority. For these manifes-
tations of your esteem and confidence in me when
youth, be assured, my fel!owcitzens, you will
have my heartfelt gratitude, to which you are
evidently justly entitled. If have committed errors
in the discharge of my official duties, have the
consolation of knowing that they have been of the
head and not of the heart. l confidently believe
that most of you will concur with me in saying that
have never, in my official capacity. wantonly op.
pressed any one. 1 may have erred, but it was
showing lenity and charity to the unfortunate and
embarrassed debtor.
am your obedent servant and felow.ctizen,

e Mr. MILLER AT WELDON.
On Saturday last Henry w. Miller, Esq, accord;
ing previous announce men addressed, at Weldon.
portion of the citizens of Halifax and Northampton
counties
The audience was very respectable in point of
numbers, and fully as intelligent as any I ever saw
convened on an occasion of the sort. am entirely
satisfied that every man present was capable OF ap-
preciating sound argument and of detecting fall
lacous one 1t was, I apprehend, just such an
audience as Mr. Miller desired to hear, and judge OF
his reasons for "the faith that is in him."
Mr.. Miller did not utter word calculated to hurt
the feelings of his old associates the contrary he
expressed his confidence in their patriotism, and his
belief that calm consideration of the state OF parties
would lead them to the same position with himself
Mr.. Mller's argument was confined principally to
the point, that the Black Republican party impeed
by fanaticsm would direct in the future as it had
directed in the past all it's efforts to violations of the
Constitution, whereby the South might be reduced
to state of vassaage and her rights forever ignor-
ed that this party can be met only by one which is
national in its character, and has strength at the
North as we'll as at the South that the Democratic
party alone comes up to this standard, and hence
that is essential for and binding the conscience
of every Southern man to forget all former differ
ences and predictions and rally to its support
Mr.. Miller reviewed the political history of the
try for the last eight years-he appealed to mans
prejudices-he resorted 20 none of the arts of the
demagogue, but maintained his position with an
array of facts, and force of argument and ilustra
ton unanswerable and irresistible. His Remuneration
Of the ''cowardly caluminators" who covery assail
him, and impugn his motives, one of the finest
specimens of invective have ever had.
The last half hour of MIR. Miller's speech was d.
rected to an examination of Mr.. McI,ae's plan of
distribution set forth in his "Dancy letter.
While entirely respectful to Mr.. McIac, for whom,
personally, he expressed high regard he exposed the
impractcablity, folly and absurdity of his scheme of
distr;buton-hs panacea for all the evils with which
he imagines North Carolina to be afflicted do not
believe that single person present the occasion,
after Mr. Miller concluded his argument this point,
could have been heard to declare his adherence to
Mr.. McRaes views set forth in the letter in ques.
ton.
I rejoice, indeed, Messrs. Editors, that Mr. Miller
now fights under the Democratic banner, and thus
occupies a position where he can more effectualy
the South, which requires the united efforts of
her ablest to resist the onslaughts of Black
Republication. I rejoice too that he is devoting
some time to an exposition of the state of parties
and the exgencies of the times, and thus preparing
mems minds for the contest Of 1860 when his clarion
voice will be heard above the din of the battle in
spring the Democratic hosts with courage and mar
shaing them for victory.

FIRST BLOOD SHED FOR LIBERTY REVOLT
TIoNARx WAR.-The first blood shed in defence of
liberty and in opposing English oppression was in
the South. The State of North Carolina "old
North State" and twin sister of South Carolina-is
entitled to the honor. 1t was during the guberna-
tOral administration of the notorious Gov. Tryon,
the English governor at the time, who built Of
the most splendid palaces in either North or South
America, at Newbern, N. c., with the proceeds of
tares imposed upon the people for the purpose and
to resist which taxation portion of them rebeled
just did the men of Massachusetts, attersoards
1t took place in the year IT'LL and is narrated BY
Mr.. Wheeler in his History of North Carolina. On
the 10th of May, in that year, battle was fought
between the American and British forces, on the
banks of the Alamance river, in what is known now
as the coanty of that name, called the Battle Of
1lam0nce. The American forces we're called the
regulators" from their efforts in endeavoring to
bring about an equitable regulation OF taxes and
other oppressive matters The American forces
amounted to two thousand, and were headed BY
three men named Husbands, Hunter, and Butler;
while the British forces, including militia called out
by Tryon, amounted to upwards of eleven hundred,
but had the advantage greatly in arms and disci-
pline AS might have been expected, the Ameri-
cans were defeated, after an action of two hours.
with loss of twenty dead and several wounded,
while that of the royal forces in killed, wounded,
and missing, was sixty -one Mr. Wheeler SAYS:
Thus ended the battle of Alamance. Thus and
here was the first blood spilled in these United
States, in resistance to exacons of English rulers
and expressions by the English government sThe
great Wolf of South Carolina showed his blood
