W The Fayetteville Cdroliniaa having taken
down the names of Breckenridge and Lane, defines
its position as follows: s.srtar is.
"Our readers will doubtless be surprised to see
that we have taken down the names of Breckin-
ridge and Lane, and have left the place blank. We
do this, not that we have changed our views with
reference to the patriotism and ability of the men
or the principles which they represent Personally
and politically Mr. Breckenridge is our model for
statesman, and nothing would please or delight us
more than TO see him President Our object is to
be free to make propositions and present and receive
overtures, that in November we may be a united
party. That Mr. Douglas is o safe statesman, no
man with his senses can deny, and his claims and
those of his supporters Democrats entitled
weighty consideration. Let us then reason together
Surely we have q common alma common end in
view! Certainly, men who have for years battled
together for the cause Of the Constitution, the
Union ann the rights of the States, can still be
found shoulder to shoulder. We have nothing in
common with either the black Republican party or
the party falsely and outrageousy called the Con-
stitutional" party. The one has for its object the
subiugaton Of the slave States to dependencies the
other the enactment of protection tariff to enrich
capitalists and Northern manufacturers, and to per-
secute and expatrate men because of their faith

Discussion at Oxford.

We learn that they had quite lively time at Ok
ford on the 4th. Hon Geo. E. Badger, one of the
Bell electors for the State at large opened the dis
cussion and spoke about two hours and half He
was replied to by lion. T. L. Clngman in speech
of an hour and half Henry w. Miller, ESQ.,,
Douglas elector for the district and Hon. A. W.
Venable, Breckinridge eector, each spoke about an
hour and half, and the whole performance was
wound up by Col Edwards Bell elector for the dis
trict, in speech of about fifteen minutes.
There was very large crowd in attendance, and
all were patients and attentive during the seven
hours discussion. The friends Of Breckenridge
and Lane were strengthened and encouraged, and
probably out-numbered all others together. The
indications were highly cheering for the Brcckin-
ridge and Lane ticket We trust some friend will
prepare account of the discussion for US. It was
evidently "a war of giants" and it is seldom the
people are treated to speeches from four such able
men in one day. The attention with which they
were listened to for long time shows that their
efforts we're ordinary ones, and that the people
are earnestly seeking information.

81 The Wilmington Journal of the Sd instant
copies Geographic despatch from this place to For
neys Press, published in Philadelphia, as follows:
81 am authorized to state that Senator Chngman
is the warm and ardent friend Of Judge Douglas,
will be found the stump in North Carolina until
the November elections, and also that the great De-
mocratle State Convention, held yesterday at this
place has encouraged Mr.. Holden, editor Of the old
Democratic State paper, the Raleigh Standard, who
Will henceforth fight the Douglas battle through
without reservation >
The Journal then adds:
What say Messrs Clingman and Holden to the
statements in regard to them, which this Douglas
agent says he is authorized to make? 1t is due
70 themselves and to their party to take Immediate
notice Of this" 4
We can speak positively for both Mr.. Holden and
Mr. Clingman, and we assert that the despatch
above referred to is wholly false as to them. The
despatch was very probably manufactured in Phila-

THE Morocco WAR ENDED.-Peace has been
concluded between Spain and Morocco, on
terms decidedly advantageous to the first
named power. She gets not only 90, ,0OO, 900
pastres to pay the expenses Of the war, but
she gets commercial advantages, gets the right
to have Minister at Fez and to send Spanish
missionaries there, and she gets an impor-
tant cesson Of African territory. On this
strip of land, bordering on the sea, doubtless
Spain intends to plant colony, which shall be
to her what Algeria is to France. The two
European Christian nations, working side
by side on African soil, may accomplish
great ends, and immensely promote the work
of civilizing Africa and developing its wealth.
Our chief misgiving arises from the fact that
nearly all past Spanish efforts at colonization
and conquest, however promising at first, have
terminated disastrously. Cuba and Porto Ri
CO are the only important possessions held now
by Spain, which formerly held nearly all the
American continent and islands. Even these
two islands would be far more prosperous un-
der almost any other flag than the Spanish.
Whether Spain will succeed any better IN her
attemps to colonize Africa, remains to be seen.

FOND OF PHYsIC.-No one objects to man
dosing himself in any way he pleases provided
that he does not commit actual suicide. With
some men, the taking of medicine seems a
form of monomania. Bishop Berkley drank a
butt of tar-water; and person named Samuel
Jessop, who died at the age of sixty-fve, in
1917, had such an inordinate craving for phys
ic, that in twenty-one years he took no less
than two hundred and twenty-six thousand
nine hundred and thirty-four pills, besides
forty thousand bottles of mixtures and in the
year 1914, when his appetite increased, his
consumption of pills was ffty-one thousand
five hundred and ninety? Dr. David Hartley,
not content with Joanna Stephens specific,
had during his life eaten two hundred pounds
weight of soap as a medicine.

JOE SMITH.-M ormonism has again shown
itself in Illinois, and under widely different
auspices from the modern Mahomedansm of
Utah. Young Joe Smith claims to be the true
leader, as a matter Of Inheritance, we suppose,
of the Mormon Church, and at Amboy he was
installed into Office by conference-though
no account is given as to the source from which
the delegates derived their installing power.
His title is &c President Prophet" and church
is organized under him, that is declared to be
entirely independent of the organization of
which Brigham Young has SO long been pro-
phet, priest, and king. Smith opposes poly
gamy and the other vices Of the infamous dis
ciples at Utah; and declares that he will only
teach the two doctrines of religion and moral
ity. He also inculcates patriotic duties and
obedience to the laws of the land, speaks
kindly of the Anti-Mormons, and says that he
holds no feelings of enmity towards any man
living. 1t is hoped that his teachings will not
be without influence, even in far-of Utah,
where reformation is much needed.

THE GREATEST DUEL ON RECORD.

An old Mississippian furnishes the following
to the Woodville (Miss.) Republican.
The famous duel in which forty or more
gentlemen were engaged. in 1928, is still re-
membered in Natchez. Col. Jim Bowie, the
famous fighter and inventor of the knife, which
bears his name, used to spend a great deal of
his time in NatcheZ. He was challenged by
gentleman of Alexandria, La, whose friends
to the number of twenty or more. accompanied
him to NatcheZ to see fair play, knowing
Bowie was desperate man, and had his own
friends about him. All parties went upon the
field. The combatants took their places in the
centre, separated from their friends in the
rear, or enough not to endanger them with
their balls. Behold the battle array thus =
Twenty armed Louisianians fifty yards behind
their champion and his seconds and surgeon,
and opposite them, as far behind Bowie
and his seconds and surgeon, twenty armed
Mississippians. Behold tie heights of
Natchez thronged with spectators, and a
steamer in the river rounded too, its decks
black with passengers, watching with deep
interest the scene. The plan of fight was TO
exchange shots twice with pistols and to close
with knives, Bowie being armed with his own
terrible weapon. AT the first fire both parties
escaped. At the second the Louisianian was
too quick and took advantage of Bowie. who
waited the word. At this Bowie's second
cried sfoul play!' and shot the Lousianian
dead. The second of the latter instantly kill
ed the slayer of his principal. Bowie drove
his knife into his man. The surgeons crossed
blades, while, with loud cries, came on the
two parties OF friends, the light of battle in
their eyes. In moment the whole number
were engaged in a fearless conflict. Dirks,
pistols and knives were used with fatal effect,
until one party drove the other from the field.
L do not know how many were killed and
wounded in all, but it was dreadful slaugh-
ter. Bowie fought like lion, but fell
covered with wounds. For months he lin
gered at the Mansion House before he fully
recovered
