these amount to parzanship then partzans but
not otherwise. We therefore object to being repre-
scented or quoted as being opposed to this or that
gentleman. We always go for the Democratic nom
nee, but when there is not nominee we do not
wish to place ourselves in opposition to Democrats who
may be candidates for election reelection. We take
it that the Democratic people of the district know what
they are doing and we await their decision

The Late -BonaparteIsm.
Some time must elapse before the details of the
peace arrangements can be at all understood and specu
ations, however ingenious, hardly be looked upon
as of much value Some of the English papers are Sc
we're in their comments upon the settlement as an
nounced. They say that Napoleon has sacrificed
the lives of his own soldiers, and the soldiers OF
Italy, without obtaining any adequate result
Lombardy changes masters, and thus the king
of Sardinia gains province Austria retains one halt
of her possessions in ITALY, the Grand Duchies of Tus
cany Parma and Modena will probably be given back
to the fugitive Grand Dukes and Duchesses AN Italian
copy of the German Confederacy will be constituted in
which Sardinia, the Pope Naples, the Duchies and Aus
tria right of her Venan territories sto berepresened
The honorary resdency Of the Pope is purely honorary
like the power of the Mikado spiritual Emperor OF
JAPAN who is treated with all due respect and excluded
from all real power. In the deliberations of the new
italian Confederacy the Pope may preside but France
and Sardinia will decide.
! Beyond doubt the pace at which the war was pro-
crossing had begun to tell severely upon both begeren
parties The actual losses of the killed and wounded at
the last battle greater the side of the Allies than
on that of the Austrians and ugly form of typhus
had broken out in the allied camp rendering cessation
of hosttes quite as desirable for the vctors for the
vanqushed.
But surely those who supposed that the Imperial Ru-
Ter of France was fighting for abstract freedom in Italy
must see their mistake. When the Emperors had their
long personal interview at Villa Franca it is not to be
doubted that they decided the fate of Kossuth and of
Hungary-hat they considered how best to repress the
movements Of republcansm in Italy-that they nego-
tated Emperors, fighting between themselves, but
agreeing against any popular movement
We think our old friend Kossuth must by this time
have had the value Of the warning against putting his
faith in Princes deeply impressed upon him. He and
the Hungarians have been used for DIVERSION
crow, and thrown aside as soon as used
When about the close Of the last century, Theobald
Wolfe Tone mporuned the French government and Gen.
Bonaparte for the assistance which had been promised
in aid of the rising 49, and which assistance had not
been sent or been sent feeby not to amount to
anything Bonaparte told him to be satisfied, that the
thing had served his turn-tha the talk about ireland
was only used diversion, and was now no longer
needed Tone struck by the cool hearesness of the
answer-he his countrymen done to death by rely
ing upon promises never intended to be flled-he
his country used tool, and then cast away use
less ard he mprecaed curses which, strangely enough
came nearly true and thought of when the great
} Emperor was a prisoner in Saint Helena.
This later Bonaparte seems to have been using Kos
suth and the ungarans something like his predecessor
did Wolfe Tone and the Irish Rebellion, and the retr
button of fahesness is apt to be felt later
Poland Hungary Ireland and Italy have each in turn
stretched their hands these French champions of
tonality and independence each been atered and each
) betrayed by them.
B@~ The combat thckens in several of the districts
of North Carolina The first which is the closest will
be- and is contested inch by inch. At the beginning
the preponderance of zeal appeared to be the side
the opposition but now, the aspect of things seems
to have changed, and the Democrats are coming ur
with the greatest zeal and energy to the support of he
most worthy standard bearer, DR.. Henry NJ. Shaw.
We have been amused by some of the queer sayings
and doings of the opposition" The little Times
in Washington Beaufort County, having candidate
in its own district is much exercised by the canvass il
the first district and exhorts it's friends to give Mr.
: Smith, native-born North Carolinan, glorious ma
iory over DR.. Shaw, foreign squatter, the fact being
that Messrs Shaw and Smith both natives of anoth
er section of the Union but have spent nearly all he
lives in this State with which they perfectly identi
fed in interest and feeling Unless information bt
incorrect, and normants mistaken DR.. Shaw will
: be elected by an increased majority.
COL Ruffin walks over the track in the second dis
trict There party opposition in the third district
in the fourth or Raleigh district we take it for grant
ed that Mr. Branch will beat Mr. Sanders, his irregular
competitor very badly indeed With the little squabbe
in that district it does not become interfere or ex
press anything farther than feeling of regret at he
existence. The fifth, Greensborough district, is thu
theater of most stirring triangular fight between Mesrs
Gmer, Williams and Wadde. Mr.. Williams is the regu
u lary nominated Democratic candidate and will receiv
the full support of the Democratic party-he acquit
himself ably and to the full satisfaction of the Democrat
Re of his district Mr.. Gilmer is the former incumbent
J. and present nominee of the Opposition Mr. Wad
dell is independent irregular opposition candidate
" basing his right to at the present time upon Mr. Gil
II mers distinct pledge made two years SINCE that he, Gil

such was the pledge distinct understanding at Pitts
y boro, Mr. Waddel proves beyond dispute by H. A
Ill London and John III. Haughton Esqs. and Others
/ Mr.. Gilmer has way another an immense load
carry and there every reasonable prospect of his ben

elected He deserves the heartiest support that tn
g Democrats can give him-he has done his duty to b
