are read out by MIR. Dick belonging to party with
which he can never have any sympathy or fellowship
Will all these unfortunate persons survive? We think
they aD1H.
Finally Mr.. Dick gives up the idea of delegate
Convention, and calls for Mass Meeting Contention
of the friends of Douglas who invited to come one
come ALL and discharge their duty, etc. OF course we
can have no objections to any body meeting. 1t is
free country and we trust Mr.. Dick personally, may
have pleasant time for his political funeral May his
corporeal one be long postponed.
To wind up Mr. Douglas, after stumplng all the New
England States, telling the Rhode Islanders how much
he preferred their clans to Southern negroes, etc., etc.
is appear in propria persona at Raleigh the 30th
and possibly may then like niggers almost as well as
clans
Perhaps we have devoted too much time to the weak
ly and diluted effusion of Mr. Dick, but wished to
dispose of certain allegations and assertions which we
find floating around and it makes little difference what
may be the text upon which deliver our discourse so
that it as delivered. Mr. Dick will serve well enough
for that purpose at least.
We take leave of this matter for the present
We suppose the small giant will be in Raleigh during
the present week and many will go to hear him. but be
will not turn the Capitol upside down, produce any
other revolution, moral or physical.
Our Electors, they Shall Cast their Votes
We have no disposition to emulate the rule or ruin
spirit displayed by too many of the leading partizans OF
Judge Douglas and just little disposition to yield to
their dicaton, pay regard to their denunciaons.
We have already nine presidential electors regularly
in the field placed there in pursuance of Democratic
usage and by Democratic organizations, regularly ex-
listing prior to the meeting Of the National Convention
at Charleston the occurrence of any difference d.
vision there at Baltimore. The vacancy occasioned
by the resignation OF Dr. Keen, can and will easily be
filled.
This electoral ticket is Breckenridge and Lane cleo
tora ticket. 1t is that honestly and in good fah and
will be supported and elected by the Democracy of
North Carolina. But it must be recolIected that the
gentlemen composing that ticket chosen well for
their discretion ability and Judgment for their coinc
dence in opinion with the gentlemen whom they are ex
pected to support and whom trust they will find an
opportunity to support efficiently. We are willing to
trust these gentlemen We certain that if their votes
will either elect the ticket Or failing that put Breckn
ridge the House Lane in the Senate they will 50 cast
such votes but if they can do none OF these things then
if any other honorable mode of defeating the election Of
Lincoln presents itself they will act their patriotic
feelings may dictate and their regard for the peace end
safety of the country may require AS for formal pledges
we would neither give ask them.
In some portions Of the State the Douglas men who
still maintain position isolated and apart from the
great body Of the Democracy of the State propose or
suggest some compromise with those who support the
Breckenridge electoral ticket while their file leader Mr.
Dick, denounces the Breckenridge men as party with
which he can never have any sympathy chasing them
On the same level with the Linconites and his foes =
Mr. Myers and eight Others personally worthy citizens
of Meckenburg being tie whole of the persistent and
resistant Douglas party of that county, propose COM
promise with the whole party. This won't do.
1t won't wipe out the denunciatons uttered by Mr.
Douglas and his satellites will any manGuvre en-
able nine men, matter how respectable to place them
selves in the position of the regular Democracy Of Neck
lenburg and read the whole party out disoganzers
because the party will not acctde to their notions or
schemes.
We shall see what shall see after the great pow

been invited star performer in the drama of Every
Man for HIMSELF, Douglas certainly being for himself
