MEssRs EDITORS: While the canvass in the Fifth
District wakes warm, l hope it will not be assum-
ing too much temerty to say few words to the
voters of that district in behalf of Stephen E. VIII
lams, Esq., the gallant and able standard bearer Of
the Democratic party in their district.
Mr.. Williams is a native of old Sampson, (of
whom she may be well proud,) and relative of the
amcnted King, "a greater and better man never
lived) and is destined at some future day to figure
as prominently in the countrys history and for the
country's welfare, as did that noble statesman. In
debate Mr.. Williams has no equal Of his age, and
has always diffsed the true democratic principles
against the strong aggressons of the opposition with
ability In 1852, when Kerr ran against Reid for
Governor, Mr.. Williams took the stump in the First
District, and met the Hon. Kenneth Rayncr and
VIM. N. H. Smith, ESQ.,, seveveral occasions,
whose rhetoric and theoretical logic he completely
and utterly subverted. In that campaign he did
noble service, and from thence up he has been bat
Ting for the Democratic cause; and it will be doing
nothing but justice for the people of the Fifth Dis
trict to elect him to Congress in place of John A.
Gilmer, traitor to the South and southern princi
pies. If they fit to elect Mr.. Williams he will
fill that high position with credit and honor. They
will find in him true to their interest and the
South--will grant to the North her constitutional
rights. but will yield nothing more-will meet the
Black Republicans on all occasions in their attacks
upon the South and the Constitution, and will ably
and fearlessly defend the same.
Mr. Williams has done noble service for the Dem
ocratic cause in the Fifth District he has reduced
the majority there from thousands to hundreds he
has fought against great odds, and it would be I'M
grateful ungenerous, not to reward him for his ef
forts.
Citizens of the Fifth District come out on the
first Thursday in August and look to your interest;
come out and vote for Mr.. Williams, and you will
never have cause to regret it. but on the contrary
can always boast of having elected true and sound
man to Congress; boast of having defeated the per-
nicious schemes of John A. Gilmer, the Gibraltar
of the opposition in North Carolina; boast of hay

ADDENDA TO MY REJoINDER OF THE 2lsT INSTANT
TO JUDGE SAUNDERS REPLY TO MY CARD OF THE 9Th
ULTIMo.-In my rejoinder the following paragraph
occurs, viz: land this accounts for another error
into which Mr.. Fisher has fallen, viz: that the COM
mittee proceeded to act having an account submit
ted by the Chief Engineer for their basis of &C.
tion" This statement is in conflict with another
Immediately following the above in Mr.. Fishers let
ter, viz at is very well understood that the Chief
Engineer declined to aduise any settlement" Now
my recollection goes to restore harmony to these
contradictory statements, for it obliterates BOTH
certainly submitted no account or statement to the
committee. The committee may have had before
them the general account or estimate of the con-
tractors, showing the entire cost of the contract
with perhaps the bi-monthly estimates or other
memoranda furnished by me to the board from time
to :ime and probably the account of the contract
ors which Mr. Mendenhall in his letter (hereunto
annexed) says ne furnished Gov. Morehead, the
President of the Company, and these accounts Mr..
Fisher has perhaps mistaken for an account "sub-
mitted" to the committee "by the Chief Engineer
for their basis of action"
| omitted in my reoinder to add, in further palli-
alton of Mr.. Fishers conflicting statements, that in
his reply of the 18th of March to MIR. WORTH chair
man, &C., he stated that "the accounts final Of the
contractors was made out by Mr.. Miller, Prin. Ass.
Engineer, and submitted to the committee" and
that, in all likelihood he has mistaken this account
for one which he says was submitted by the Chief
Engineer"
My rejoinder although complete in ITSELF so far
as deemed myself called upon to make refutations,
consider incomplete without this additional act Of
justice to Mr.. Fisher

FARTHER POINT, July 29-The steamer Anglo
Saxon, from Liverpool with dates to the Goth, for
Quebec, passed here this evening, and was boarded
by the agent of the Associated Press
There is nothing additional by this arrival in re-
gard to the basis of the recently concluded peace
between France and Austria.
The feeling of discomfort in regard to the peace
was apparently increasing particularly in Italy.
The Emperor Napoleon had arrived at St Cloud
The Queen of Portugal is dead.
The Posts Paris correspondence says that both
Emperors are convinced that the basis for the
clusion of peace which they hastily agreed upon is
in many respects, impracticable.
The English journals continue to ridicule the terms
of peace.

KENTUCKY ELECrIoN.-The Kentucky election
takes place in about two weeks, viz: on the first
Monday in August. Prominent leaders of the OPP
position in that State concede, we understand, the
election of Mr. Magon for governor, as well as the
whole democratic State ticket. They claim, how
evor, that they will carry the Legislature and re-
elect Mr.. Crittenden to the United States Senate
In the last Legislature the Democrats had MAORI
ty of twenty-five on joint ballot. The intention of
the opposition is to swap votes in several of the
Congressional districts where they have no hopes
of electing their Congressman for members of the
Legislature Let the Democrats of Kentucky look
sharply to the Legislative canvass for it is very nl-
portant on account of the United States Senator.
Now that they are forewarned of the eneny's in
tentions, let them be forearmed.

The Constitution is radically anti-slavery but diff

it does not extend the right of suffrage to negroes
The State Legislature is to consist of seventy-two
representatives and twenty-one Senators.
The Business Convention disposed Of with toler-
able expedition the questions of apportionment and
temporary capital, being the only measures which

Topeka is selected temporarily as the capital
Lawrence being the competitor. The efforts of the
partisans of both these places revealed considerable
corruption both inside and outside of the conven-
ton, and one or more members are implicated in
charges of bribery.

T. b. Bailey, ESQ.


We copy the following complimentary articles
from the Columbus (Mss.) Democrat Mr.. Bailey
is native of this State and formerly resided at
Hillsborough. We have no doubt, from our knowl-
edge of his many excellent qualities, that he richly
deserves all that is here said of him:
PROF. I. B. BAILEY.
1t affords infinite pleasure to some minds to pen
the exploits of the brave and with poetic beauty,
portray their virtues; yet how few, alas are wont
to WELD their pen in commentator of those modest
virtues that adorn the private character of
bic specimens of our race. In paying tribute to
them to be too pointed might, to the vul gar mind
appear tattery; yet they paid ofttimes to real
merit, notwithstanding the community loses sight
of their many commendab,e traits, in many instances,
owing to their entire devotion to self interest, and
not unfrequently to misanthropy.
Prof. Bailey has, for number of years, been an
indeatigabe laborer for the promotion of education
He is gentleman of fine MIND, classic requirements
noble heart, and possesses an integrity which will
win for him pleasing and an enviable position
where'er he goes. We for one, cannot part with
him, merely wishing him success, but we bespeak
for him proud position, for his intelligence integ-
rity, and true Christian character will insure it. 1t
causes one sad reflection when he sees star in his
own literary galaxy either fall drawn by exter-
nal attraction into another system. Nor can we be
the only who regrets the determination of Prof
Bay, for we imagi tie Columbus Female InSti-
tute has, in him., lost her brightest greatest jewel
Mr.. B. leaves us then with every recommendation
heart could wish, carrying with him the confidence
of many, many friends, and their warmest wishes
for his success. and last but not least the approba-
ton of the good, wise and true.
Our correspondent, "Nelson," in commencing so
highly Prof Bailey, but uters the sentiment of eve
~ person in this community who has made the &C
quaintance of that gentleman. Prof Bailey came to
| this town some eight or nine years ago, and has
nearly since been engaged here in training the
| youthful mind. He has been emlnenty successful
teacher, and by the amenity of his manners has
secured the high regard and esteem of all who have
had social intercourse with him. He will leave, we
understand, in few days for his newly selected
! home in the mountainous region of western Virgin
! ia, and he will carry with him the kindcst rcmcm
brance and best wishes for his prosperity and hap.
piness of host Of warmly attached friends in this
| city.

New Banking House.

We understand that Committee of the Directors
of the Bank of North Carolina have barganed with
Mr. John Hutchins, Agent for the lot (the property
of Mr.. Love- known as the Coman's lot on Fayette-
vile St., for site FOR the new Bank building.
This is, perhaps, the best location for the new
Banking house that could have been chosen. The
price agreed upon is $1,000.
We presume the Directors will procure the best
plans from competent Architect, and will proceed
to erect the building early in the ensuing spring.
We think the Directors have shown good judy
ment both in the determination to erect new build
the new Bank will be much larger than that of the
old one, and will, therefore, require more ROOM
The location Of the new institution is also more con.
venient to business men than the old Bank.
