of charity then exerts an influence alike upor
the church and the community. Without this
fundamental principle, this corner stone, this
foundation ck-charity-there can be nc
friendly feeling, no proper working government
in church or State 1t is essential to public
health, essential to public prosperity, essentia
to public peace. Without it, all is confusion
discord, hate with it, all is quiet, peace, love
harmony. Without it, all earthly powers must
, fail, all governments and nations fall to the
ground; with it, earthly powers are sustained
! governments and nations built up and strength
encd.
i Why can we not then a people and ma
ton cultivate charity in our bosoms as cher.
ished and valuable ornament? It is our duty
to ourselves, our country and our God.
We would respectfully, but earnestly recon-
mend each and every one of our readers, to open
his Bible and turn to the 18th chapter of 1st
Corinthians, and read the entire chapter, think
deeply upon it as he reads, ponder well its words
and strive to profit by its teachings. Then in
deed may we hope and fondly look for new
era in american intercourse, American religion
and American politics.
North CAROLINA ELEcrIoN.-The returns
from the election in North Carolina, for Cover
nor indicate the success of Ellis, Democrat, over
Pool, Opposition, and the choice of a Democra-
tic Legislature, which has the selection Of a
United States Senator in the place Of Mr. Cling
man. The WILMINGTON IN. C.) Journal Demo
cratic) of Saturday evening says:
| In p counties Ellis, DEM, for Governor, re-
ceivea 20,774, and Pool, Opposition, 15,434,
which shows a majority for Governor Ellis of
$40. In 1856, Gov. Braggs majority in the
same counties was 1924. This reduces the
Democratic majority 1,S94-or loss of about
70 votes to each county. We think our losses
in the remaining portion of the State will not
be in proportion to that heard FROM But sup
posing we should lose in the same ratio, Mr..
POOLS net gain would be 6.O24 which would
still leave us a majority in the State of G,57O.
So it will be seen that the State is perfectly safe.
We shall lose some of our majority in the Legis-
lature. In the last Legislature the Democratic
majority was SO.
The Petersburg (Va) Express, neutral, has
Il dispatch dated Raleigh, N. c., Sunday, which
says:
| Full returns have been received here from
forty-fve counties, which show net gain for
John Pool Esq, of three thousand and forty
nine over the vote for Hon. John A. Gilmer in
1856, when be was defeated by Hon. Thomas
Bragg by majority of over twelve thousand.
The forty-fve counties heard from constitute
two-thrds of the popular vote in the State
Conceding that Pool will gain in the same ratio
in the remainder of the State, Ellis majority
will be seven thousand five hundred and eighty
seven.
The Democratic majority in the Legislature
will be reduced considerably but it is too large
to be overcome. The Democracy, as usual,
have evidently carried the State
MISSOURI ELECTIoN.-St. Louis, August 7.
At the election in Missouri on Monday there
were four candidates in the field for Governor
Hancock jackson, Breckenridge Democrat; Clai-
borne F. Jackson, Douglasite; Sample Orr,
American or Union, and James B. Gardenhire
Republican. The Democratic Convention held
previous to the Charleston Convention nomina-
ted G. F. jackson for Governor. He stumped
the State for several months. Having recently
declared for Douglas, however, the Breckenridge
Democrats held Convention and nominated
Hancock jackson. The vote for Governor
however, is no test of the relative strength of
the Democratic and Douglas parties of the State,
as Senator Green supports G. F. jackson on the
ground that he stands squarely upon the plat
form erected for him by the Convention that
nominated him. Mr.. Green, it, will be remem-
bered, is an enthusiastic supporter of the Brock
