On Tuesday last, the 23d discussion took place in
the Court House between Hon. Burton Craige and W.
R. Myers and J. 81. Wilson, Esqrs Mr. Craige took the
place of the Breckinridge eector Mr. Fox, (who was
unwell and Mr. Wilson occupied the place of Mr. By
mum who was absent. SSH.
Our engagements such to prevent us from
hearing the discussion, but learn that Mr. Craige
opened the debate with an excellent speech and able
and convincing argument in behalf of Breckenridge and
Lane. Mr. Myers followed for Douglas and Mr. Wilson
for Bell. is fair to state the thus Myers Will
Craige and the democratic party. All who know
Burton Craige know that he entirely competent to
manage his opponents this occasion, and that he
dealt the opposition hard and whitening blows
was to have been expected. Mr. Myers is intelligent
gentleman but no debater mot having had practice
and being engaged in miserable bad cause we learn
that he got along rather poorly. He put some ques-
tons to Mr. Craige, which that gentleman answered
the great satisfaction of the democratic portion of the
audience if not to Mr. Myers. Our friend Wilson talked
great deal about the deplorabe condition of the
try. but we are informed he proposed remedy for
present prospective difficulties OF course he adj
ysed his hearers for Bell, but many persons
of OPINION that that would help much
or ward off difficulties. Mr. Wilson has always been
opponent of the democratic party drumming against it
occasion candidate for the Legisature) and
for the present active part he taking politics.
though he that it is nothing but the perous
don of his beloved country which has induced him
take the stump. We have doubt he does desire the
prosperity of the Union, but in order peace
put down fanatcism, and unite the South, he ought
to counsel the immediate withdrawal of Bell and Dou-
glas and 60 for Breckenridge the only who stands
any chance of defeating Lincoln. Everybody would
then say that Mr. Wilson is liberal and unprejudced
politician, as he is certainly heightened honorable
gentleman. He ought to be satisfied by this time
Bell stands chance, and that it not for the i'm
polite course of the oppositionsts in always opposing
the democracy, right wrong, and raising the dis
union cry against it, there would be excitement in
the southern States Mr. Wilson's party is responsible
for the agitation. In fact, we learn that one of the
leaders of the opposition party in this county promised
some few years ago, that North Carolina should follow
South Carolina out of the Union Our friend Wilson
should talk to that gentleman and the matter
with the diSunionsts of his party.

ba- The Salisbury Bell and Everett Mass
Meeting was not such big affair after all, as ap-
pears by the following from tie Wilmington Jour
nal:
1--WE learn upon. undoubted authority, that en-
auiry made at tie railroad Offices at Salisbury,
showed that the whole arrivals there by railroad,
on the two days of the big opposition mass meet
ing, were less than fire hundred. This includes
those coming to Salisbury from the North and from
the South on the N. G. Railroad, and from the
West on the Western extension; with the excep-
ton of few wagons from Cabarrus, and a few
struggling vehicles from other adjoining counties,
the strangers out of Rowan came by Railroad-
Excitement tends to unconscious exaggeration.
The dinner and the general arrangements at Sails
bury were capital The COWS and sheep run wild
since, having lost their bells, said bells having
been converted into politicians or political institu-
tons"

COOP SUGGEsTIoN.-The following from the
Raleigh Register, is worth the attention of all
slave-owners and the town authorities
Too Many Liberties.-In these times of peril
and distrust, when We are seriously threatened
with the elevation to the Presidency of the author
of the 4" irrepressible conflict" we cannot be too
cautious in regard to the liberties we allow our
servants. In this city the negroes are allowed to
roam about the streets until late hour at night
without passes, and, we presume, allowed more
liberties than are permitted anywhere else in the
country We call upon our commissioners to put
q stop to it at once. No negro should be allowed
to be in the street after o'clock without permit
from some responsible person. 1t is the duty of
those in authority as well as masters to be more
strict now than ever

H9~ The notorious John Nj. Bolts said in his
speech at Lynchburg, Va, that Douglas near
ly over to the Opposition, and that he had no
doubt that he would be good Opposition man in
four years; and if so, he would probably support
him for the Presidency. What think our Douglas
friends of this compliment.
1t is laughable to hear the Douglas men about
here talk about their being national democrats"
They cannot carry State in the Union, and yet
they assume to be the national democratic party
Oh, mercy.

Hon. L. j.. CLINGMAN-Mr Clingman, one
of our L 5. Senators, passed through Charlotte
on Wednesday morning last on his way to the
mountains. He arrived here at III o'clock on
Tuesday night, in good health and fine spirits He
was serenaded by number of his party friends
and responded to call in few remarks, which we
notice in our article about the democratic rally
prospects of Breckenridge and Lane.

THE SALISBURY BANNER-The Opposition
press with some honorable exceptons) have in
dulged in an unfair and dscreditable mode of at
tacking the editor of the Salisbury Banner. They
appear to think it very smart to throw up to Mr.
Speman that he is foreigner and that he owns
no negroes The Banner is as descent and moder-
ate paper as any of the opposition papers, and
just as truthful and if its editor did happen to be
born in a foreign land and cannot yet find it con-
venient to own negroes, it is no crime or fault of
his, and those who are constantly reminding him
of these things are belittling themselves more
than iujuring him. He is American by choice
and adoption, while those who attack him had no
choice in the matter of becoming American cit-
zens and are therefore entitled to less credit for
being such

ACQUITTED Darlington Southerner, of

men, and acquitted by the following vote: SO
against IL. There proof that the men had
been i'm correspondence with Seward and Greedy,
and had made threats but the committee after all
the fuss by our s. c. friends, would not take the
responsibility of imposing the death penalty, and
therefore run the rascals over into n Carolina.

BADGER AND GRAHAM.

Gov. Graham and Judge Badger appear to have been
the great guns at the Salisbury opposition
ing They are, doubt gentlemen of great intellect
and moral worth-in fact have ever been an adj
mirer of Gov. Graham though decidedly opposed to
his poltcs-but they are dangerous political leaders,
and not always prudent they might be-both are
swayed too much by their hatred of the Democratic
party But that is not unnatural for they were both
turned out of Office by the Democrats. At Salisbury
these gentlemen instead of warning the people against
Lincolns election made speeches which have a ten
dsncy to render Southern satisfied with a Black
Republican Administration. Instead of pouring out
their anahemas against Abe Lincoln and his crew. they
denounced Breckenridge and tried to discredit his
friends they applauded the declaration oc Turner of
Orange, that every who could stand Buchanan's
administration could stand that of Lincolns )" they
denounced the admnisra ton of Franklin Pierce as the
worst did could have, not accepting that of
Lincolns. Now, don't say insinuae that these
gentlemen sympathise with Lincoln desire do any
thing that would aid him in any way, but say that
their political preudices lead them into mprudent
marks, quite unbecoming their stations. President
Pierce in his annual messages, rebuked abolitionism
| and went into elaborate argument to show that
Northern fanaticism wrong and uncalled for-he
stood up manfully for the rights of the South for
which he received the praise of many opposition
papers-yet Messrs. Graham and Badger try to make
their audience believe that Lincolns administration
would be than Pierces they applaud de-
nanciations of Buchanan, who has sacrificed
his popularity at the North by contending for the
equality of the South in the Union, and bestow their
praise upon John Bell whose public has been so
unexceptionable to Black Republicanism that the lead
ers of that party constrained to compliment him
Those gentlemen anxious for John Bell to get
into oiceso anxious for their party to get into power
that they stop and reflect their course and
that it is improper and unjust to the Democratic
party. When Gov. Graham denying the right of
a State to secede, he forgot suppose, that John
Bell commended for that right and when he
complimenting Senator Crittendcn he did to
remember that Crttenden voted for the platform upon
which John c. Breckenridge is standing and for the
principles which the friends of Breckenridge and Lane
fighting for. Great men sometimes incon-
sistent, and Messrs. Badger and Graham are no ex-
ceptons to the remark.

whom men of both parties entertain much respect)
remarked the other day that he had dropped Doug
las aud going for Breckenridge believing such
course the right one to be pursued by all who
were friendly to the democratic party and desired
equal rights in the Union. We know of other
gentlemen who have changed from Douglas to
Breckenridge within the last two weeks; some from
Bell to Breckenridge.

LEAVING THE DOUGLAS FAcTIoN.--Every
day VIC hear of some one leaving the Douglas fac
ton in this State and returning to the democratic
party. A gentleman at Dobson, Surry county, N.
c., writes to the Raleigh Standard as follows:
81 was supporter of Douglas until heard the
recent language of DIR. Z. w. Keen, Douglas Elec-
tor for this District who openly declared that he
was aiding Bell in this State. When it comes to
this that the Douglas men are pursuing course
to lose the State to the Democrats, unhesitating-
ly leave them, as all good democrats will do when
they understand their maneuvres / AM gratifed
to say that there will be but few in this county to
change, | being only the fifth Douglas man in
Surry There is rumor here that the Wings
will have full supply of Douglas tickets hand at
the election, for distribution among Democrats, in
order 20 weaken Breckenridge and thereby give
the State to Bell. Warn Democrats of this dan
ger, and counsel the prominent ones everywhere
to work and watch for the cause"

FLAG DoWN-We learn from the Newbern
Enquirer that some Douglas men in Carteret coun-
ty hoisted Flag with the names of Douglas and
Johnson; but on reflection, and not wishing to aid
the opposition party, they took it down and put up
the names of Breckenridge and Lane. That was
right is the honest course.
