engine for such ship to three that Englsnd can
supply. She has iron establishments on the most

New DoDGE.-To place oneself in hostility to
the Administration then complain about being read
out of the party!
No one is ever read out of the Democratic party
until he puts himself without the pale Of its organi-
cation. There has been no difference of opinion in
the party TO the principle involved in this Kansas
question: but quite difference as to who should be
the leaders of the party. Nine hundred and ninety
nine in every thousand said Mr.. Buchanan-one in a
thousand said somebody else, and thought it very
hard that they amid their thirteen members of the
House of Representatives, and three Senator's could
not control the others. 1t will not do to talk about
divisions in the party while holding such position
and those who wish to fight their own battles on
that PLATFORM will hardly reach the goal they aim at

A Word to our Democratic Friends.

Word to our Democratic Friends.
We carried the State two years ago by large
majority, and the prospect is we will do so again;
hut it must be borne in mind that have willy
adversary to contend WITH and that very strength
NAV produce lukewarmness in our ranks and relaxed
organization resulting, if rot in defeat, in dmin
ished majority We can carry the State, and we
must do it, by an increased majority. Other States
are looking to North Carolina and her voice. to be
uttered in August next, will cheer the friends of
Democracy from Maine to California, provided we
are all true to principles and to our organiza-
tion
We have good rea sons for believing that the Know
Nothings of the State acting in concert both as
to the Governor and Legislature; that secret un-
Outstanding exists, by which they will be able to
concentrate their strength upon their candidates;
and that in some cases, they will start candidates
even the day of the election, in the hope of thus
defeating the Democratic candidates. There is dang
er that the Democrats in some Counties and in some
Senatorial Districts may presume too much upon
their strength permit asprants to divide them, and
thus be defeated by the opposition. We respectfully
call the attention of friends to this view of the
matter, and would suggest that they be constantly
on the alert, to ward off the evils of division and
Reorganization, and to defeat, at the last NO.
ment, the secret designs and arrangements of the
opposition. Let look both to tke Legislature and
to the Gouernor and let us determine to secure both
by an increased majority.
1t will not do to depend merely upon our strength.
We must wo-k-we must use the necessary means,
if we would achieve brilliant victory. The same
labor, the same sacrifices the anxieties which
were encountered in building up the party and in
securing present majority, must be encountered
again and again, in shape another in order to
maintain the position we have reached.
Especially do we owe it to our gallant candidate
for Governor to stand by him. to second ard sustain
him in his efforts, aid to poll for him every vote
that can. He is doing his whole duty-let us do
ours The Know Nothings in all parts of the State
are rallying to his opponent; and unless we are
vgant and active, and poll whole strength, they
may steal march upon and reduce majority.
will be too late after the election to regret that
have lost votes for Governor and lost members of the
Legislature by lukewarmness, inattention,
confidence, or from any other cause. Let us do our
duty, and afterwards look back upon that, as well
as upon great victory, with pleasure Let eoery
Democrat erery schere in the State do his duty and
glorious victory will crown our exertions.

How Forsyth County will fare by the Democracy
forsaking Mr.. Holden and now shouting Justify for
Judge Ellis, and the Convention nominees for the
Legislature remains to be seen.-.Salena Press.
+" Mr.. Holden is greatly obliged TO the Press for
the information that the Democracy has forsaken
him. This is indeed news to him.
Democracy knows men only as the representatives
of principles. 1t is not welded to men, for die
and their very memories perish; but principles live
always. Democracy in Forsyth is just like Demo-
cracy elsewhere; it selects its men and stands by
them in good faith and it does SO because 1t is a
party Of principle Founded on the rock Of truth,
il it not shaken or blown about by every wind of
doctrine" The Democracy Of Forsyth will stand
by it's candidates. Mess,s. Masten and Fres and will
elect them, whether opposed BY Know Nothings or
by Democratic disorganizers. Mark the prediction,

~ We put it to our contemporaries of the Ra-
leigh Register and Salisbury Watehman to say if it
IS courteous, or proper, or parliamentary, orgu
mentatice to be constantly talking about the clash
Of the Standard, y" Holden's keen cattle whip"
&C. Is it, gentlemen? Holden aspires to no con-
troll, and wields no whip. He seeks only to perform
his duty to his party, and claims no such right as
that attributed to him, of reading out of the
party. Men read themselves out of parties, as Mr..
Syme read himself out of the old Wing party when
he joined the Know Nothings and the only lash
which renegadcs and traitors feel is the lash of con-
science Of all uneasy politicians the most uneasy
are such as have just referred to. Witness, for
example, the writings and contortons of Venable,

Others Such characters bear perpetual testimony

Mr.. McRAE AND THE SLAVERY QUESTIONABLE.
McRae says that this miserable land hobby is ques-
ton of more Importance than the slavery question.
If it is, it is of vast importance indeed and in
wolves destinies for veal or for woe-The guere
then naturally arises how is it that Mr. McRae left
the canvass of 1856, in which this great issue was
being discussed, accepted foreign appointment of
great profit from Mr.. Pierce. and rolled in luxury
for four years in Paris instead of remaining at home
to urge upon his countrymen the vast importance of
this question and try to get for them "ther sheer
of the public lands ?"-Salis6uay Banner.

'THE MISERY OF THE TH1Na."-A Petersburger,
writing from the Hygeia, at Old Point Comfort to
the Intelgencer. says: The bathing here is pecu-
liar A stockade is built out in the water, into
which you can enter and enjoy yourself as well as
you can, considering the warmth and shallowness
Of the water. Hard by, another stockade is erected
for the ladies. This is the misery of the thing. A
few PAGES off. you hear the most delightful shrieks
and screams and the most musical laughter. You
know that fun is going But where you are,
there is naught save melancholy "sloshing around
of bilious and hideous males The contrast between
the two stockades-the fun, the frolic and the f.
males in the one, and the dull masculine splashng
in the other-is horrd, horrid."
