October 1sth,---Noxemhsr GIL.

We have placed the above dates at the head of this
article to impress upon the attention of readers the
fact of the approach of the great Presidential con-
test of 1860.
1t is at hand. Are the Democrats of North Carolina
FULLY prepared to do their whole duty on the occasion
If in any section there be apathy, we would remind
them that there no longer time for its indulgence We
would remind them that opponents are up and doing
that they working with zeal and energy to wrest
from the Democrats the control of the politics of the
State and to place her more uuder federal DONNA
ton, under the domination of party that scouts the
very idea of State rights and State sovereignty.
The attempt has been made to array prejudice against
the Constitutional Democracy by raising against then
the cry of dsunon That has had its day and been ex
posed. Against Breckenridge and Lane it is admitted
to be without any shadow of foundation or excuse
Even against Yancey it has ceased to exert any nu
ence The assertion of equality and equal rights in thu
Union is surely not dsunion. The demand for thes
things-he determination to abide by and defend Con
situtiopa rights to resist any aggression upon them
the best and the only guarantee of asae and
Union.
The people cannot be frightened from their propriet
by mere groundless appeals to their fears The grea
majority of the citizens of North Carolina are believer
in the doctrine of State Rights and State Equality
Hundreds and thousands who have never ranked then
selves with the Democratic party are thus far Demo
cras and as the issue becomes more nearly reduced
this the coincide OF opinion upon this leading poir
must influence their action at the polls
Why just look at and listen to our Bell and Evere
friends and contrast part of their talk with anoth
part They tell you that the Breckenridge men are di
unionists and not to be trusted They give that as

From the Alexandria (Va.) Sentinel.


We verify believe that the verdctcf Virginia is made
up, and that Breckenridge is her man. 1t is but
question CT majority, in our Judgment. We think the
majority will be safe and respectable, and perhaps bril-
liant. We in all this that the Democracy will
continue to work as they working We believe
they will. The shout OF the opposition and the sound
of the b have aroused whole camp and the voices
of our leaders have marshalled our wide array. The
march is now commenced. 1t is onward and the
step steady and the tread like that of earthquake
lis the moving of the proud old host that never
been witbsood and that is deeply aroused. On
ard then be the word! Onward, and yet ontcard till
our victorious eagles and triumphant drum shall an
nounce another battle for States Rights and Con
stitutional equality, by the nvincib!e Democracy OF
Virginia.
Our opponents feel the coming result Some of them
indeed boast of what tomorrow will bring forth, and
some doubtless sincere. But these know not how
to read the signs. Nay, in themselves they exhibit the
signs but they do it uncOnsclentiousy. Their instinct
is at work though their judgment may still be at fault
hen storm the sky the birds seek shelter before
a cloud has appeared they know not why. When an
earthquake is preparing, the cattle trembe before the
earth has rocked Instinct teaches them that something
is coming. Among men we call it a preseutinent,-
the shadow cast by coming event.
Thus it is IN present political struggle The de-
feat of opponents in their growing irritation
in the disparaging remarks and the unjust represen
tatlons in which they scarcely help INDUCING con-
corning the Democracy. They find it hard to do Jus

give evidence that they feel pressure which perhaps
