Inion and Harmony.

Union and Harmony.
Some Of our Democratic contemporaries and among
,hem our esteemed friend of the Wilmington Jour
nal are urging the Importance Of union and har-
monv in the Democratic ranks. ...-
call for union and harmony, like motion to
,a;ourn. is always in order. No one can be more
6sposed than We are to cultivate this spirit We
have been for long time showing our faith by
works and We expect always not only to adhere
to principles and organization but to the best means
in our humble Judgment Of advancing the cause
It is mistake. however, to suppose that the Demo-
cratic party of the State is depressed disorganzed
inharnonous, or in danger of being defeated. The
parv was never in better condition than it is now
and was never better able than it IS 1oE to stand by
lis true men, and to let the faithless the selfish and
the turbulent take care of themselves The person.
al chickering's that exist OF no moment far as
the cause is concerned and cannot affect our vote
next year to any perceivable extent. Every large
body like the Democratic party, which controls and
dispenses patronage and ho0ors, must expect some
exhibitions of feeling now and then. That Demo-
erat who permits his personal feelings to conflict
with his duty, is not worthy of the name. That
Democrat who serves a clique, or who sails under
the flag Of certain men, endeavoring to array them
against others, is not worthy of the name. Such
Democrats are themselves the authors of discord;
and the evil which they plan and endeavor to carry
out for selfish purposes will spread or be arrested
just in proportion as they are encouraged or re-
buked
The Warrenton Neacs, for example, processes to
bea great friend Of harmony yet that paper delib-
erate:y charges that MI. Bledsoe, one of the men,
hers of the Democratic State Committee, has encour
aged and is encouraging the insidious approaches
Of treesoilism" [See Warrenton Ne,rs of the 2lst
October. Is that the way to promote union and
harmony? If this charge lie true, Mr.. Bledsoc
ought to be promptly expelled from the Democratic
State Committee; but if not true, what ought to be
done with the slanderer and calumniator: Mr..
Bedsoe owns slaves, and is largely interested as
planter in slave property. He is as true to North
Carolina and to her slaveholding interests as any
man; and yet, for certain reasons and for certain
ends he is held up before the country as freesoer
Is that the way to promote union and harmony
Are we to stand mute when a true man and good
Democrat is thus assailed and maligned?
OssAworAx1E BRowS.-We copy to-day, from thu
Petersburg Express, letter from Mr.. S. L. Riddle
Of this City, exposing the misrepresentation of thu
black Republican press in relation to Browns brave
y. Mr. Riddle was in the battle of Ossawotamie
and had fair opportunity to learn the character o
Brown He is we'll known in this community as
gentleman of truth, and bis statements may be re
lied on
The truth is, Brown is an intelligent man and ,
desperate villain, who has simply failed, As all 9th
es viii fail, in attempting to carry out the design
OF the black Republicans. 1t has already been prov
ed BY the correspondence found upon him, that h
bad the active and and sympathy Of Giddings, Ger
rift Smith, and others He is an abolition incen
diary, just as Greedy, Seward, and Wilson, of Mas
sachasetts are abolition incendiaries. The blacl
Republican journals will fail to make him out hero
Caambersburg, Pa, where Cooke, Browns accom-
plce, Was arrested, is within few miles Of the M
ryland line. A correspondent Of the Philadelphi
Pfess states that Fred Douglas and Brown were t.
sether at Chambersburg some eight or ten week
aso-that they had long and close conference O
'ae Sabbath, and the understanding was that the
were to meet again in October. The letters whic
nave been published show . widespread conspir'
~ among the black Republicans and abolitionis'
against the siaseholding States. How many vel
mus banded together we have no means Of knowing
H. W. MILLER, Eso.-We learn from the Ia,
ooathsraer that Mr. Miller has consented to dclivs

oeen elected to Congress from the Petersburg Di
u'et by 800 to 1000 majority. He carried Peter
'ug' the place of his residence, by nearly four hui
a.sd majority-a highly aattering vote. Mr.. Good
a'S competitor, carried his own County, Meckle
'ufg' by ST. majority-also fattering vote.
