WEE RNEsDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1860.
FOUL DECEIT.

correspondent of the Raleigh Register styled
' Gaston,' writing from Washington, labors with
more zeal than honesty, to implicate the democratic
party in the defeat of he organization of the House
1t is needless add that the whole correspondence
is false claptrap to deceive the readers of the Re
gister, for we know his labor will be lost upon the
judgment of the intelligent and sage editor of that
paper.
His first misrepresentation is in regard to the
failure to vote for John A. Gilmer of Guilford but
he refers to this in another charge we will pass
this one by for the present, and notice it in turn
His next charge is in regard to the failure to vote
for Mr.. Boteier, of Va His remarks upon Mr..
Winslow, Of this District, aid Pryor, Of Va, are
purile and weak, and will only tend to strengthen
both of these gentlemen amongst their constituents
Mr.. Winslow remarked in a caucus meeting that he
would rather for anti-Lecompton Democrat
than Southern Opposion man, and was he right
Not only do the Southern Opposition embody the
odium of being antLecompton, but in every other
respect they are anti Democratic. The former
wholly democratic and national with the exception
of their opposition to the Lecompton constitution,
and Of course of two evils Mr. Wnslow would be JUS
tilted in choosing the least. The pickering of the
Know Nothing correspondent is, however, of no
weight, far Mr.. w. is concerned for his in
this instance, believe has strengthened him
hundred fold with the party in this district
The northern Democrats could not possibly vote
for a southern opposition man, because it would be
Il severance of all party ties and would be a COM
i'iete surrender of their principles. We speak of
this knowingly, not many years since, when Pollock
was the nominee of the K. N. party in Pennsylva-
MIA, and H1gler the Democratic nominee Pollock was
elected by ten to fifteen thousand majority. At that
time the national democrats had to fight the demon
of miss-named "Americans'' and manfully did they
do it, un,il root branch of that unjust Or
ganzation was left but no sooner had they con
quered the monster than from it's shrivled bones
sprang up another organization which adopted the
name of Republicans appropriately denomnated
Black. That party is but the majority of the Know
Nothing party of the North, so that although they
battled against thing of different name it is
really but the substance of the Know Nothing party
Of "a against which they had to battle so fiercely.
Now the Southern Opposition is really the K Ms
and did they vote for of them it would be
complete surrender of every thing they have already
tfo.,e frr -s-~fr-v1-- 1- -l-i-,i-
zation which is destructive to every principle of
berty and equality. OF course then say that
is perfectly natural to northern democrats
fuse to vote for Southern Know Nothings. We
say let them adopt any other policy. We do not
ask them to vote for southern Opposition man
while they have good anti-Lecompton and national
of their own creed.
This " CASTOR correspondent says that after
Mr. Bocock withdrew from the contest that Mr.. Bo-
teller only received some scattering Democratic votes
never more than taoeaty The incorrect statement
of CASTOR would be corrected by adding four to
twenty and not only that, but the Democrats
pledged themselves to vote for Mr.. Boteler if he
could carry his party vote. He failed to do
III, hv Hya and ho 11v lin
quished by his party, Mr.. Gilmer, of North
Carolina, casting his against him and in favor
of Briggs, of New York, the third ballot. So
much for that portion of Gas-ton's letter.
He says again that the opposition were willing to
vote for Democrat could he be elected, resolved to
nominate General Nilsson, of Va, and that twelve
southern Opposition men voted for him. Wonder-
tui disclosure-the whole of trelce-and what was
the result? Ar Nilsson received the whole democrat
ic vote with the exception of too and these two
would have voted for him Immediately upon the
next ballot-seeing his strength-and then the re-
sponsbty of defeating the organization would
rest at the doors of the antLecompton Democrats,
: and they would not dare 20 brave the indignation
of their constituents by voting for Sherman, re-
using organize by casting their votes for Nilsson
Dreading such result, however, al! the southern
Opposition with the exception of three Or four left
| Mr.. MIlSOD the second ballot. Amongst those
who did not vote for Mr.. Nilsson was John A. Gil
mer, of Guilford whom 6 Gaston' says could
have elected, And wherefore did we not elect him?
We VIII endeavor to satisfy readers that they
had good grounds. When Mr.. Harris of Maryland
nominated Mr., G. Mr.. Bennett of Kentucky, said
that if the Democrats were to vote for Mr.. Gilmer
he would not get the 36 Opposition votes for when
the Black Republicans would See possibility of de-
feting Sherman, they would not vote for Mr.. Gil
mer. This was done to test the Blackssas we'll as
| MIR. Gilmer Judge the surprize of the Democrats
| when they found such as THADIUs STEPHENS
voting for Mr.. Gilmer 1t needs but to give the
| history of two of the Blacks who voted for Mr.. G.
to show that it was proper for the Democrats to
! decline voting for him. These men are the repre-
sentatives of the 21s and 22d districts of Pennsy-
vana, known as the Pitts5urg district. Robert Nc
| Knight, who represents constituency composed of
half OF Allegheny and all Of Butler counties where
| the Black Republicans have majority of between
four and five thousand. j. K. Morehead who re-
presents the city Of Pttsburg and the residue of
Allegheny Co., where the majority for the aboli-
| tonists exceeds 5000 and which was carried by
| Fremont by over that number.
| REMOVAL.
