ical aid next day. On Tuesday, although. quite
! unwell, felt able to ride to the polls and depos'

assumed the typhoid type. yet it seemed not to
| excite the fears of his friends until sometime
on Saturday last On Friday he complained of
| sore throat. erysipelas ensued and he continued

friends should not be written to until Monday
| On Sunday night. his pastor, Rev. W. L. Hell,

| ndepted for his unrentted attention. conversed

! W. sit will soon all be over He calmly breath

friends are assured that all done for him that
could be of any avail -.
DR.. w, we believe q native af Guiford
County, learned the printing business in Greens
boro', and afterwasds studied dentistry and had
been engaged III its practice for several years,
He was young man of feeble constitution, good
mind IL most amaihle, quiet disposition, of fine
social qualities and a of sound principles.
He more a consistent, uniform Chris
tan. having been for some years worthy and
acceptable member OF the Methodist Episcopal
| Church, South.
His residence in this community had been
short, but he had secured the confidence and cs
teen of our citizens. To us especially his death
is a loss hich we fear will be difficult to ra-
pair.
By the kin'ness Of his friends. his remains
were deposited Ill metallic coffin and despatched
to Greensboro on Tuesday. Hash Despatch.
No MORE CoMPoMIsING.-The are already
indications that the Secessionists, who have IL
tiicted a most serious injury on their own sec
ton, without any evil effect elsewhere, hope to
bring about another Compromise. Alarmed at
the personal ruin impending over them, and
which cannot now be averted by any device
these conspirators are said to be planning Il
Convention of the several States, for the pur-
pose of patching up another Compromise, for
the professed object of keeping the Union to-
gether, by some Constitutional amendment.
This can never be effected, as proposed. The
pertidious reputation of the Northern share of
the Compromise of 1920 by an almost united
Southern vote aided by few Northern dough-
faces, and the gross violation of the peace meas
ures of 1850, by the renewal Of agitation in
1854. has rendered all further transactions in
that line impossible.
We make this statement thus explicitly now,
because we believe that public opinion in the
free States viii not again permit any such "ad-
justment." and that the fact should be seasonal
blv understood. We are content with the Con-
stitution as it is. The South has no right to
complain of it, for that section has most impor
tant advantages under it, which could not be
obtained, in the present condition of Northern
feeling, (on account of recent acts Of bad faith,
and of Southern threats,) were the work t be
done over again Cinciuanh GDzctte
This is precisely what the South .Says-'no
more Compromises - ond to remain lCnger in
this Union than is absolutely necessary TO ar
range for secession, is not only compromising,
but danger added to degradation for the South.
In going out incur danger or if dan
ger ensues it will not be aggravated by dsunion.
No more Compromising" is shouted from the
Table Rock to the Stone Mountain, and from
Charleston to Savannah, and the echo will soon
reach US from the plains of New Orleans and
San Jacnto mo more Compromising" We
accept the issue, and go forth to meet it, strong
in allegiance to the South and truth, and JUS
tice, and reliance on the God OF Nations, who
has never forsaken those who were able and
willing to assert their rights and duties. No
more Compromising is the cry of the men;
aye of the women and children Of the South
