Thar OPPOSITION 1lcKEr.-By refer
-ncr to another column, the proceeding
Of The Opposition Convention held il
New Orleans on Monday last, viii! b,
found. In our next issue we will "a,
what we have to say upon this i,nror
tant matter. In the meantime, we suy
"es' to all DESTROYS Of joining in tli!
movement to prepare for Il hearty coop
GRAFTON When the ticket is fairly before
he people. Many have been lul!ed int
apathy by the Hardness displayed il
bringing il out, and even now are incIi
ned to doubt its success, or even a Er
midable position. TO all such, we say
be Of good cheer. The ticket, assured|y
would not have been brought out were
there no chances If success. This has been
fully and fairly tested long since, and
the delay must be attributed to the time
required for perf"cting all necessary ar
engagements. Our adversarits do not I'M
derstand, and, so far, have been with ali
their tact and ingenuity, unable to dis
cover our plans and workings. We tell
them this, with all good feeling imagin-
able, and trust they will not BE- annoyed
At their own lack Of shrewdness. OF
course no knew anything a6outn.
STAND FROM UNDER Col. R. A.
STEWART has been writing to tue Sun
lay Delto upon the suhj~ct Of the Auro-
ra recently seen in the Heavens, and az
ter anal, zing and showing what %consli-
tutes the trne material Of these brilliant
'lIuminations, comes to the conclusion,
that the one we saw Was not genuine.--
He says:
Having shown that it does not take,he
character of that light, / must hen con-
c|ude that it is nothing less than one Of
God silent messengers warning meE
that the great day Of His wrath will
come,
When " blessed is he who shall De able
to stand"
If the Col. is right in bis conjecture,
we intend to leave these "diggins' sure.
We don't intend to be caugh, here, and
have to undergo the delicate operation
Of baking or roasting, in such su|try
well Tor every one to get their ascension
robes in order for there may be a grea,
Of sinners on that day, and il
do to be caught where your hair
IS short. Stand from under!
