in Pennsylvania said that he wss in receipt Of let

We have no doubt that Mr.. BreckinridEe Is sin
cere in his disclaimer Of Presidential
He is but 80 years Of age, and the expiration q
term or even oftwo terms in the Presidential office
would place him in retirement in the meridian of
his life. II would be better that career should not
thus quickly cuminate, if 1t were SO to close;
and If Mr.. Breckenridge wishes to plan out wise
and well ordered life, he will do we'll to shdn the
premature honors of the Presidency. h,n
Still he is not beyond the reach Of the Democracy
Of the Nation; who, if they want him, will have
him, not for his sake but because Of their own ne
cessities. He declined, on the floor Of the Cincn.

Presidency; but the Democratic delegation Of New
York will not forget how their enthusiastic accama.

we make this appeal, not on our own account, but
on account Of the cause. See to 1t, brethren, that
treason is silenced, Reorganization rebuked, and
harmony restored. Ifyou think that the Fsrebrand,
the Warrenton Ne,cs and those who control or
countenance them are right, say So; if you think
they are not right and that the nuisance ought to be
abated, sag so. The collected WILL the concentrated
indignation of the Democratic party of the State
would blast these concerns into silence and oblivion.
1t is your province to collect that will and to
centrate that indignation: 1t is idle to hope that
these sheets can be reformed under their present
auspices The thing is impossible. We seouM hope,
if we could, but we know them too we'll to hope.
Penance may humble them for time. but nothing
less than political outlawry will abatc the evil.
1t is proper to add before closing that our friend
of the Wilmington Journal is most probably correct
in assuming that there are influences operating here
to ''array and classify leading Democrats as the.
heads Of opposing clques." These influences are to
be traced and solely traced to the Neus and the
FSsebrand. Their object is to divide prominent
Democrats here, and then profit by the division.-
They sailing under the colors of Gov. Bragg and
say We kaow--thcse gentlemen do not approve their
conduct. These gentlemen, sound Democrats as
they are, and anxious, as all true party men must
be, to have union and harmony, must deprecate, as
in opinion they do deprecate the attempts which
these sheets are making to identify them with posi-
tons and movements antagonstical to others Of the
same faith. There is really no dirision among
prominent Democrats at the centre. The Fire1rand
and the Neacs not the organs of Gov. Bragg and
Mr.. Branch. These gentlemen are not responsible
for the course of those papers, Whatever may be
said to the contrary and whatever impressions may
have been created in other portions of the State
repeat, there are really no "heads Of opposing
crques" in Raleigh nor do We believe there will
be- This belief as TO the future is founded however,
upon the assumption that the Neus and the Fire
brand will be discountcnanccd by all true Democrats,
and will be left to speak hereafter as heretofore,
without authority from Gov. Bragg, Mr. Branch,
other influential members of the party.

h.Carolina Journal Of Education.

The September number Of this periodical has been
dress delivered at the opening of the sessions of the
Educational Association at Newbern, by the Pres-
dent, Rev. Baxter Clegg and the Report on Mixed
Schools, read before the Association at the same
place, by Rev. j. II. Brent
We are gratfed to learn that the Address deliver
ed by Gov Swain in Newbern, will also be published
in the Journal The Resident Editor says:
1--WE have the pleasure of announcing that Gov.
Swain will prepare and furnish for publication in
the Journal, an, article on the early historty of
North Carolina embodying the substance of the ad-
dress delivered by him at the meeting of the Asso-
citation in Newborn. This article will appear in the
October or November number. should nothing occur
to prevent; and while it will probably occupy the
greater part of one Number we feel sure that our
readers will consider it treat. All who had the
pleasure of hearing the address will agree with us
in saying, that this alone will be worth a years
subscription to the Journal
We think that too little attention has been given
to the collection Of interesting facts in carly
history, and We hope to give hereafter other articles
of the same character, from the pen of Gov Swain.
1t may be said that this is going beyond the ordi-
nary range of such Journal but we feel that no
apology is needed, for such information is important
to the teacher, as a tencher and within the range
of such articles there is much that relates to the
history of education.
= Will not others aid US in making the Journal
more interesting and useful, by contributing to its
pages! And now that the County Boards are be-
ginning to circulate the Journal among the school
districts we hope that many Of our contributors
will write with special reference to the wants Of
Common Schools"
We trust that every friend of education in the
State, who can spare the means to do so, will sub.
scribe to the North Carolina Journalct Education.
Friends of education, "show your faith by your
works" The price is only one dollar per annum,
