Rsg- DIR. T. w. Keen, democratic Eector for
the 9th District. has resigned his position on ac-
count of his Douglas proclivities. All right-his
place can be supplied. Rockingham, his own
county, declared for Ellis by large majority, and
Ellis openly declared for Breckenridge and Lane
There can be but one democratic party in North
Carolina. Politicians may kneel down before men,
but the people bow only at the altar of principle.
Our faith aud reliance rest only upon the good
sense of the people; and we firmly believe that
Breckenridge and Lane the choice of nine
tenths of the democratic party of the State, If
We be right ia this opinion, what benefit will &C
crue in the long run to those few men who, in
their blind determination to rule ruin, sacrifice
the success of that party which they acknowledge
to be the only hope of the country, and play direct
ly into the hands of a common enemy? The peo-
pie know their men.
The Winston Sentinel calls for District Con-
vention at that place on 9th September, to supply
the vacancy.

1t will be seen by the following that the oppo-
sition in this State assisting the Douglas men
Though few in number) to disorganize the Demo
cratic party. The Asheville News of the 9th in
slant says:
DOUGLAS MEErING.-We publish to-day, at the
of Douglas meeting held in the north end of this
county some days since While we do this cheer
fully as matter of courtesy, it is equally due to
few facts; that they may not occupy false posi-
ton before the world.
In the first place, we have every reason to believe
that the meeting in question did not rgnate with
Democrats but with gentlemen who have general
ly acted and voted with the Opposition. We do
not question their sincerity in seeking to promote
the cause of Judge Douglas. But we do object to
their action being taken as an indication of Demo
cratic sentiment.
La the second place, those who offciated in the
meeting-at least a majority of them-are mem-
bers of the Opposition party, and not therefore,
proper cOunsellors for the Democracy.
In the third place, the Democrats of this county
are for Breckenridge and Lane-enthusiasti
and unchangeably so,-and to represent them in
any other light would be to place them in false
position"
The opposition, no doubt, will willingly and
readily cooperate with the Douglas men to get
the supporters of Breckenridge to 60 to Doug
las, for in that way alone can they entertain the
least hope of carrying the State for Bell. But
there is no danger-Breckinridge will carry the
State over Bell and Douglas combined.

THE lsT AND STH DIsTRICTs-The Raleigh
Press, in speaking of the result of the election,
says:
'ln no portion of the State have the Democracy
acquitted themselves better than in the first and
eighth districts In the first district which gave
the Hon W. \. HI. Smith majority over the
gallant Shaw of five hundred Gov. Ellis receives
two hundred majorty-a change of 700 votes.
In that district no meaus were spared by the
Opposition to effect an increased vote but with all
their efforts the first district the home of John
Pool the boosted stronghold of the Opposition the
Democracy stand redeemed! We owe much of
in this district the efforts of our able
and talented townsman, Ed. Graham HAYWOOD.
Esq, who has done more (without disparaeing
the claims of other able aud true Democrats9 to
enlighten the people and preserve the Constitu-
ton unimpared than any man within our knowl-
edge"

FALsE.-The story started by correspondent of
the New York Herald, that concerted action will
be taken by several States, and an agent be sent
to Europe to sound the English and French cabi-
nets as to the policy they would feel bound pur
sue towards the Southern Confederacy, in case of
a dissolution of the Union, is without the least
foundation ia fact. All such miserable reports
are put out for the purpose of injuring Breckn-
rid0e and Lane.

THE PROSPECT.

THE victory achieved by the Democracy in the
date contest shows very plainly that Breckinridge
and Lane will carry the State. The victory is ex
| traordinary, in our opinion, when we look at ii
calmly and consider the obstacles and difficulties
with which the party has had to contend: The
clap-trap question of ad val,rem-secret enemies
maleonteuts, disorganizers-the unfortunate course
of Mr. Douglas friends-the most determined OPP
position from the resurrected whig party in con-
junction with the cohorts of "Sam," and super
added to all this, the keen appetite for their long
lost places at the public table-and we have a
glimpse of the formidable opposition over which
the true Democracy Of the Old North State have
triumphed gloriously.
How has this victory been obtained There
were two or three causes which explain the whole
matter. First, the upright and consistent course
of Gov. Ellis in the past, in working for the inter-
ests of the whole State-his direct appeal to the
good sense of the people upon the ad valorem hum
bug, backed with great unanimity by the true
democratic press of the State-and last but not
least, carrying over the State the time-honored
flag of Democracy, unfurling over the level plains
of the East and the towering mountains of the
West the names of Breckenridge and Lane That
banner must now continue to wave on-the people
have said so-until it shall be planted in triumph
upon every hilltop from Cherokee to Curritack,
and ultimately upon the Capitol Of the Nation.

Wilmington Herald.
"Remotest possibility of success eh That
was not the tune before the election. Every OPP
position paper from the seaboard to the mountains
tried to rally the party with the cry that the De-
mocracy di0ided, disheartened, falling 10
pieces and that the opposition never had better
chance for success! But now, it was merely a
remote possibility" No,c, they acknowledge the
democracy was "thorougiy organized" "united,
hard working" Yes, they were too we'll organized
for Pool, and entirely too well organized for the
comfort of Bell and Everett. Mind that, neigh

crat than W. W. Avery

THE Duty OF THE SoUTH--As Southern
people, vitality interested in the great issue pend
ing in the present Presidential contest we should
candy settle the question, who among the various
candidates before the people most fully repre-
sent our principles and our rights? The question
is not as to this man or that man; is it with
gard to past positions, past promises, past
serVices-only SO far those services 60 to
strengthen the claims of the man who stands
squarest upon our rights but the question is, who
no~ should the Southern people support Brock
nridge and Lane meet the question of Southern
Rights honestly and fairly, and stand firmly by
the Supreme Court decision with regard to States
rights in the Territories. Mr. Douglas friends
at the North have evaded this issue, and stand be-
fore the untry, for all intents aud purposes, a
sectional party
There is no Disgusting the fact that Lincoln, the
Black Republican candidate stands a much better
chance for election than did Fremont in 1856
For then there were really but two contending
parties-Fillmore being mere nominal candidate.
But now there are four. And We say it honestly
that we believe the Bell and Everett party possess
just enough strength to do harm. What North
State can they carry against Lincoln or Doug
las? Any North of Mason and Dixon's line?-
Why, only an cratic paper here and there at the
North support Bell and Everett Can they get
any Southern State? Which and where? IF
they do, it would be just beneftting Lincoln that
much. Is it not clear that the Breckenridge par
ty have majority in the South? We think it is
plain fact, known to all who think and read.
Then the duty of the South is clearly marked out:
to support Breckenridge and Lane, and thus
defeat the Black Republicans.

pcrvades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part of IT, No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which IL may
not destroy. The serofulous taint is variously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all. by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, il is hereditary in the con-
stitition, descending from parents 10 children

il seems to be the rod OF Him who says, II
viii visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerotis matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptons or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders In the blood, deprcsses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous consttu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish Ivy disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has It's origin directly
in this scrofilous contamination; and many
destructive diseases OF the liver, kidneys, brain,
and indeed of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must rcnovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

the most eifectual remedy which the medical

bned from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul

system from its destructive consequences.
Hence 1t should be employed for the cure OF
