Wake County.

The campaign in Wake will close on Wednesday
next, at Lashley's Cross Roads
There is no opposition to Mr.. Bledsoe for the Sem
ate; and no regular opposition in the Commons.
Maj Jones, we understand. though he declined to
the County, has nevertheless attended sew
eral of the gatherings with the candidates, and is
willing to serve in the Commons if elected Are
our Democratic friends sure that it has not been
cretly determined by the Know Nothings to vote for
Maj Jones? 1t is well to be on the alert in this
respect, in others; but the surest way to defeat
the arrangements of the opposition is to out in
full force and cote the ticket Let US stand brother
Democrats, by chosen candidates. They are
laboring in the with zeal and ability; and We
owe it to them to ourselves consistent Democrats,
and to principles which they represent, to give
them a united and cordial support.
We appeal also to our friends in Wake County to
unite as one man on JOHN w. ELLIS. Let
give him, as We can give him, eight hundred ma
jori,y in the County. Our County vote is increasing
every year, and by proper efforts part
can secure large proportion of this increase See
that every has Ellis ticket and that misrep
resenta,ions and false charges against him are met
on the day of election. He has canvassed the State

aside from the fact that he is nominee, he has
entitled himself to hearty support by his drvo-
ton to principles, and by his active labors in our
behalf from Halifax to Cherokee
We would also remind W AXE County friends
Of the importance of continuing the Sher'tfalty IN
Democratic hands,, Mr. High has made an excel
lent officer. No one alleges that he has been def
cient in his duties; and all know that he has
been as indugent to the people as any man of even
ordinary prudence could have been. A change in
the Office could he of no benefit to any one except
MIR. Rogers while it might work Inconvenience to
the people and to County interests 1t certainly
would weaken the Democratic party of the County
Besides, brother Democrats, he is nominee, and
that binds US to stand by him. Is not that so? If
motif we are at liberty, Democrats, to vote for
Mr.. High or not just as may choose, how can we
expect the party hereafter to prove true to other
nominations? If We do not stand by him in this
contest, how can we expect his friends to stand by
other nominations in future contests? Democracy
is founded upon justiee,-we must DO as we would
be done by. We have no fears as to the result.
We believe that, with proper efforts by the party
and by Mr. Highs friends generally, he will be tri
umphahtly reelected but, because he has made a
good Sheriff. and because he is the Democratic nomi.
nee, We desire to see his majority increased. We
Can increase it, and increase it largely il We will.

THREATENED DISTURBANCE AT THE AcAENY
long and successful campaign at the Academy
of Music, we have frequently noticed the efforts
Of the rump Of the old oyster house critics to
break him down They first attempted to SOW
the seeds Of dissensicn among the artists, and
even endcavored TO excite their national preju-
dices The manager, however, kept apart from
oil the quarrels, and regulated his affairs In his
own way. The artists, finding q strong hand
over them, succumbed. The oyster house
critics, "vanquished but not subdued,r retired
into their former obecurity. In one or two In
stances where persons had made themselves
personally obnoxious, they were refused admit
lance at the door, even though they paid for
ticketa A bitter feud arose while the opera
was going on; and, as we have said above, no
means we're left untried 10 break down the enter
prise. The public, however paid no attention
10 the cabsls and the manager quietly pocketed
the pro6ts While the feud was going on,
person, represented to be a writer for q weekly
journal, was refused admttance upon
paid ticket, on the ground that he was perso-
nally hostile and obnoxious to the manager.
The rump of the old oyster house critics have
now taken up this quarrel, and have secured
the assistance Of some of the friends of the late
lamented One-Eyed Thompson a man who, Il
will be recollected, after running through the
whole catalogue of crime, committed suicide.
This force, II Is said, intend TO get up
q sort Of Aston Place riot at the Acade-
my this evening The friends Of One-Eyed
Thompson have constituted themselves the spe-
cial guardians Of the Independence of the
press" and they intend to prove their sincerity
by physical force.
Now, In legal point Of view the manager of
the Academy is right lie has an undoubted
right TO exclude any one from the Academy, n
the person 30 excluded IL obnoxious to any
body, the manager or any one Of the audience.
If the person excluded has paid for . ticket he
can bring civil salt fer damages, and recover,

D~snnrsssio Views OF the Fusurs-

Our Southern democratic politicians, though
somewhat late In TIE day, are coming down
frankly to the confession that that Kansas Ne

humbug. delusion aud snare; that, in fact,
this beautiful specimen OF Southern rights aud
popular sovereignty" secured to the South
through the generosity OF Mr. Douglas, has
proved 10 be only another Trojan horse full OF
armed men. In short but significant article,
which we transfer to these columns from the
Eew Orleans Bee, the editor mournfully says
that "truly the Kansas measure has proved a
disastrous blow 10 the South" that at has
generated renewed discord, strengthened tree
soiI, and bopelessly divided the Only party tina
claimed an odor Of nationality"
What nexti The South must, OF course, pre-
pare for the desperate but inevitable alternative
OF disunion- Sweeping bis telescope around the
political horizon, our New Orleans contemporary
lie brought 70 this melancholy conclusion. He
says, I'VE are afraid that these spring elections
are only portents Of gloomier tidIngs here,
