A more revolving chapter of barbarities we have
never printed (says the New York Observer than
that which records the Horrible Prosecutions of
Christians by the Turks" " hen those awful de-
tails are read and in connexion with the massacres
in India and Syria and the constant prosecutions in
various portions of the Turkish Empire it will be
and felt that the powers of the false prophet
reused as in death struggle to destroy the peo
pie who profess the Christian name. 1t is very true
that the sufferers in all these countries are Chris
tians of the Roman or Greek Churches, but they
suffer because they called by the name of Christ
and they deserve our sympathy and protection
Oliver Cromwell, if he were to-day on the throne of
England would put stop to these horrid massacres

tan Governments of the earth to stay the arm of.

GEN. WALKER.-The next news from General
Walker is likely to be. that the "grey eyeG man of
destiny" is near the end of his career if indeed it
has not already terminated. He was in full retreat
from Truxillo, having failed to receive accessons to
his force from the native population, and liable at
any time to encounter an overwhelming number of
the enemy, both volunteers and regular troops 1t
will not be strange if every man in his company,
not exceeding one hundred in ALL share the fate of
Lopez Several vessels are reported to have sailed
recently from Southern ports with recruits for Gen.
Walker, but they will be singularly fortunate if
they can evade the British force which is co.opera-
ting with the native government and effect juno
ton with the main body. If the reports which
have to hand at all reliable, the great li
buster has reckoned without his host in thus at
tempting to revoutionize all Central America

the Union, and we believe you; but will disunion
You agree with US in principle so far as slavery in
the Territories is concerned. Will you abandon the
principle? We were willing, with you, to omit the
assertion OF it at this time to prevent dsunion and
civil war; but as the issue is upon us-the issue
between territorial and popular sovereignty, made
up by your cheftain himself-we cannot surrender
the principle We must maintain it. Non.inter-
venton does not mean territorial intervention. Be-
sides, can you work against nne-tenths of your fel
low Democrats in the State while they are working
with might and main against Bell? Does none of
the old fire animate your bosoms when you see US
thus engaged with the common adversary?
Whatever the result may be elsewhere we feel
that North Carolina will vote for Breckinrdge
and Lane. At one time we entertained doubts as
to the result but recent information fully sustains
US in claiming the State for them. But if
by possibility, the State should vote for Bell
what load of responsibility will rest on those De-
mocrats who differed with and opposed the majority
Are the Douglas men of this State, who seek only
to defeat Lincoln and not Breckenridge, and who
would be mortified to see the State vote for Bell
prepared for this responsibility? We appeal to the
Douglas men to think well upon these things. The
country is certainly IN danger We all see and feel
that it is Union among Democrats can alone pre-
seree the Union-preserve it from convulsions, from
alarms from imminent danger, if not from dsrup-
ton ITSELF Let forget men, let us sink pride Of
opinion, let US overcome prejudices, let us act like
patriots and men in the crisis which is upon us,
not thinking of the past, but only of the best way
to provide for the present and the future

PROPOSED Fusion IN New YoRk.-The effort to
unite the Breckenridge and Douglas men in New
York appears to have failed There is but little
ground to hope for union against Lincoln. The
Breckinrdge committee characterize in severe
terms the conduct of the Douglas committee in re-
fusing fair terms for fusion The proposed fusion
having failed great Union Meeting" was held at
the Cooper Institute, New York, on Monday night

hardly be hoped for. Present appearances indicate

A Bell Pole in Raleigh.

The Belltes of this place raised pole and organ
lied Club on Saturday last. Some moderate and
some bitter speeches were made. Our neighbor of
the Register is of the opinion that the Union is in
fair way Of being saved by this same pole raising
and Club.
One ofthe speakers, we understand, spoke of "that
eminent patriot John Bell and that great statesman
alexander Everett" or course this brought down
the house. Alexander II. Everett, Of Massachusetts,
is the author of the we'll known schoolboy speech,

~ Gov Wise has written letter dated Sep
tember 5th, in which he denies that Mr. Breckin-

Such denial was hardly necessary. The Governor
closes his letter as follows:
:" 1t is time that the slave States were ready for
the revolution which is coming inevitably, with the
purpose to take from them not only their personal
property in negro slaves, hut their political property
in this glad and glorious Union. Let neither class
Of rights be invaded fight first and don't let the
invaders seize the power to dsarm you"
W confess we do not understand the Governor.
In one letter he says he will flight in the Union"
leaving the inference that he will not secede
count of Lincolns election; in another he says
fight first and don't let the invaders seize the
power to disarm you" Now, We are opposed to
fighting. The slavcholding States are not so weak
as to fear the abolitionists They can take care of
themselves in any event. They will fight when
their honor ard their vital interests require it, and
not before. Mr. Wise is an alarmst. Our "per-
sonal property in negro slaves" is in no danger.
If the abotionists want our negroes let them come
and take them They might come, but they would
never return. They know this as well as We do.
