Ss2s~ We published last week the announcement Of
the marriage OF young gentleman by the Of
james NJ. Moore, of this County to yonng lady of
Wake County by the name of Martha R. Shhon.-
The letter containing the announcement regularly
signed by the writer, and as matter of took
it as genuine. We learn from Mr. Moore that the an
nouncement is utterly false AS heard of its
taslty we enclosed the note from which we copied the
notice, to a friend of Mr. Moores with the view of
ferrittng out tie guilty cuprt and bringing him be-
fore the public in which he will not be likely
to forget the remainder of his days. Any person who
will so far forget himself as to thus tamper with the
feelings of Others deserves the execration and OF
all decent people
We received the following letter from Mr. Moore by
yesterday mornings mail
SPRING GARDEN, NEW HANOVER Co., June II, 1860

in life hope that who knows me has for moment
believed the publication be true. ask of you the favor
to aid me to ferret the author this marriage notice. in
order that his and character may be held by the
press ths public reprobaton and disgrace he so richly
merits. Yours &c.

Candidates for the Legislature.

hnOWsNOtnlAS Candidates Tor the Legislature
The Herald is elated. It actually Hurrabs." 1t
has at its mast head two candidates for the town of
Wilmington, for seats in the next House of Commons
To-day will doubtless bring forth the third-a candidate
for the Senate 1t is understood his name would have
appeared yesterday but for the fact that the leaders could
not induce certain gentleman to allow his name to be
used merely for the purpose of being defeated.
"Hurrah - says the Herald. "The town of Whining
ton has very important interests to be protected and
cared for" and "Oliver P. Meares I" and " Fred.
D. Poisson Esqrs the gentlemen to for and
protect those interests" They are certainly clever
young gentlemen, and respect them as SUCH as well
as for their boldness in opposing the Democrats But
we doubt very much whether the Democracy of New
Hanover county have yet made up their minds to en-
trust their business in the hands of the Opposition
We shall see. It has been long time sin ce the Oppo
ston have had the boldness to show their hands openly
in New Hanover county. We do not regret that they
have at last concluded to come out from their hiding
places and dark holes. 1t looks manly than for
merry. 1t shows independence -nerYe-and we like to
see It, We shall know how and where to find them now
The people of the county will be able to watch them
and they will tell them secret in August next to bt
remembered by them for all time to come Mark oul
words Their race will be Short and they will die with
out struggle.
The Democratic nominees-Ei W. Hall, ESQ.,, fol-
the Senate, and Hon. Samuel j. Person and DAME
Shaw ESQ., (f the latter gentleman acceps) for the
Commons will receive the largest vote given t.
any candidates for the Legislature since our resdenc
in Wilmington, while the vote for Gov. Ellis will no
be less than the party's full strength.
The Democratic candidates all gentlemen of known
ability, and the party will rally around them with 81
aacrity seldom surpassed We truly pleased to SCI
that the Opposition have taken this stand 1t is wha
we have all along desired They may depend upon it
the Democratic party will not regret their course
