The AsheyiIle News.

We are glad to see that Thomas w. Atkin, ESQ.,,
has again taken charge Of the Ashevie Meas Mr..
Akin is an able and experienced Editor, and the
Nees cannot fail in his hands to be valuable vehi-
Gle of information political and otherwise. Wetrust
he may be literally sustained. Among other things
Mr.. Akin says in his, address to his readers
I" He will give to the nominees, Breckenridge and
Lane, hearty support and confidently expects to
see them elected in November, as they possess all
the requisites, "luck, pluck, speed and bottom"
He is gratied 10 renew his acquaintance and inter-
course with the Democracy Of the Mountain District
Having fought many hard battles side by side, he
INDUCES the hope that their future may be even
more pleasant and cordial than the past, and that
while they stand shoulder to shoulder in a common
cause, local jealouses petty rivalres will be
suffered to distract the party and strengthen the
Opposition.
In conclusion he appeals to the Democracy of the
District to assist him in circulating the Netos. He
is willing to work. and expects to do his part fully
and faithfully; but he must have help, and if his
friends will come up nobly to the work. he hopes to
be able to scatter floods of sound and wholesome
truth throughout the District
Remember, friends and fellow Democrats, that we
must have organ-a paper to combat error and
defend the TRUTH or will inevitably suffer loss.
We are "listed for the war" and hope to be sus.
tanned and encouraged by the party particularly and
the public generally"

MIR. Rodman,s Letter.

We shall publish in our next from the Newbern
Enquirer, the letter of W. B. Rodman, Esq, Elector
for the Second District on the subject of the Pres
dency. <.
Mr. Rodman takes high and strong Southern
rights grounds, asserting emphatically what We
have so uniformly maintained, that the Constitu-
ton is the Union-there is no other"
In relation to the Presidency Mr.. Rodman says
u shall vote for Breckenridge and Lane as Presi-
dent and Vice President. In my opinion North-Car-
olna owes to them firm and united support. In
case, however it shall clearly appear that the vote
of North Carolina, if given to them, VIII be thrown
away and If given to Douglas or Bell would defeat
Lincoln reserve to myself the right of voting as in
my opinion will best accomplish that object"
That is the true view, and we glad to find Mr..
Rodman announcing it. The object of all true pa
trots is to defeat Lincoln and preserve the Union

DEATH OF Prominent CrTIzEN-We were star
tied yesterday afternoon by the painful unexpected
announcement that Hon. VIM. ii. Washington had
passed from time to eternity. We had seen him the
street but a few days before and his illness had been
of such short duration that we had not even heard
OF his being confined. He addressed public meet
ing at the Club House here but few evenings pre-
vious to the election and taken sick, learned
yesterday, after and had been confined to his
residence ever since. He died, we have learned, of
congestive chill His death will be lamented by all
who knew him, for his many good traits of head
and heart have rendered him very popular.
To his amiabe lady and only child, the latter now
in the far west who are rendered the one a widow
and the other faheress by this stroke of the great
destroyer, Death, tender heartfelt sympathy.
We suppose some one qualified for the task will
prepare suitable obituary notice of the deceased

without distinction of party, to unite upon that man
for President who had most strength in the NORTH,

featng the Abolition candidates. -
A. B. Chunn, Esq.,, also addressed the meeting in
few excellent remarks urging union and harmony
among union loving and conservative men.
On motion, committee of three persons, viz:
Messrs. j. Weaver, n Blackstock and S. V. Pick
ems, was appointed to prepare resolutions for the
consideration of the meeting.

lowing preamble and resolutions which were read
and unanimously adopted:

citizens here assembled,

Resotoed, That so long as this Union can be pre-
servedwith the Constitution intact and invioate as
well IN spirit as in letter we shall ever regard its
preservation as Of first and paramount importance.

Mr. HOLDEN: Ths August elections are now over,
and have given my vote for the Democratic candi-
dates, as | have done all my life. l. for the time
being shut my eyes to their preferences for Doug
las Breckenridge, seeing the candidates for the
Legislature and for Governor in the field when
the split in the Democratic party took place at Bal
timore. Now feel at perfect liberty to go for any
ticket in the approaching Presidential election that
will most likely defeat Lincoln and perpetuate our
glorious Union.
The Democratic party is divided and more or less
sectonalized One of the strong pillars are anG
the strongest one has been, the nationality of the
Democratic party. We have heretofore drawn
largely upon the pure old Wing party on that
count Their further cooperation, as dena-
tionalized, cannot be expelled.
go for the doctrine we, as party, have so long
contended ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS on the subject Of
slavery, and against internal improvement by gen.
eral government. buchanan had no more right TO
put that in the platform than he has to make speech
es for his successor) also go for keeping together
and united the territory we have rather that adding
more and dividing.
now call upon the Democracy of North Carolina
to come and rally to the pure old land marks of the
party. set forth in the Cincinnati platform, and
support the man that stands squarey upon it. If
that is not DONE there will be many good Democrats
found in new company in November next. ~

Nh. Error: There are thousands and tens of
thousands Of true Democrats in the South, who be-
lieye that Stephen A. Douglas and H. " johnson
are able statesmen true to the Constitution and the
rights OF the South and they also believe that these
gentlemen are the regular nominees of the national
Democracy and that it is the duty Of the party
throughont The country to support them as such--
Thus believing they have claimed the right of every
citzenSof this Republic 70 express their opinions
and act upon them But how have they been metz
With spirit of arrogance and tyranny calculated
arouse the, indignation of any man who has spark
OF independence or courage in his soul Douglas it
is known, has been burnt in etfgy in this Suite
He has been denounced traitor to his party and
the South by some of the intolerant and vindictve
leaders of the Breckenridge party They are ex-
tending the sphere of their operations and are now
burning Gov johnson in cfhgy, as will be learned
from the following extract from Tennessee paper.
appeal to the Douglas men of North Carolina to
come to the aid Of their brethren in other States
and put down such tyranny.
HANGING IN EFFIGY-Goy Herschel Y. johnson,
who is the ticket with Douglas recently address,
ed political meeting in Macon upon the questions
OF the day-enforced the claims of Douglas and
showed up the Inconsistencies of the Democrats in
opposing him and going for breckenridge. Next
morning the counterfeit presentment" of the Gov
ernor, done up in old clothes and stuffed out in cot
ton, was seen hanging near to his hotel, having
been placed there by the Breckenridge Democracy
Now, we are admirer of Gov. Johnson's politi-
cal course in life but such argument in reply to
his whitening chastisement is no argument at all,
and is wholly improper and wrong 1t is weak
and peurile argument, simply contemplate, and
one which always recos upon its authors. No
man in Georgia or in any State in the Union, whose
good opinions are worth anything will think any
thing less Of Gov. johnson because he was hung in
effigy by squad Of Brecklnridges followers. We
believe that Gov. johnson is wrong in politics,
all other Democrats are, North and Sorth but, at
the same time he is in free country, and has
right to his opinions, and it his privilege cit
zen to express them, and all attempts to suppress
them and put them down by mObocratc violence,
are wrong in principle and subversive of the rights
of the citizen. He has been the Governor of the
State. he is able and distinguished man. an Elder
in the Presbyterian Church, and courteous deba-
ter, and deserved no such indignity.
We denounce this whole business Of hanging in
effigy, unworthy, revolutionary, and Locofoco
attempt to suppress freedom of thought and action.
If it is followed up and made part Of the pro-
gramme of the Breckenridge party in Georgia, it
will give the State to Douglas and johnson. The
sympathies of all right thinking and generous men,
are enlisted in behalf of the victims Of persecution
