TIE DEMOCRACY OF GArEs.-Thc most suspicious
accounts come to us of the active and indomitable
Democracy of Gates. DR.. Shaw has made most
favorable impression upon the people of that coun-
ty; and his vote in August will show large in
crease upon that of two years ago. He will un-
doubtedly carry the county by handsome majority
although, of course, there must be work. and
plenty of it, to secure that desirable result. We
arc convinced, in spite of all the fears of lukewarm
ness and inaction in which many are prone to in
dulgc, that the Democrats there will stand up to
their duty and dispute every inch of ground with
the bitter and uncompromisng foe they have to deal
with They need no martinez to tell them how to
vote; and the efforts of the Opposition fuglemen to
seduce them from their featy to the great National
Democratic party will be sgnally discounted. All
the adroitncss of the Oppositoniss will avail moth
ing with these tried and faithful soldiers. The I'M
anmous vote of their delegates to the Edenton Con-
vention for DIR. Shaw will be abundantly ratified,
on the first Thursday of August at the polls; and
we trust and believe they will labor without ccasng
from this hour to the sunsettng of election day. to
swell to the utmost the large Democratic gain which
the intrepid friends of the South and the Union in
the First District of NorthC Carolina will present as
their offering in the common cause of all conserva
tive and patriotic mcn.-Hurtfesdoro' Citizen
