From the Daily Journal of yesterday.

It is too late now to attempt to argue the issues in
volyed in the pending We presume that every
voter has already made up his mind to ho1O he is going
to vote The question: and the only question now to be
pressed upon the attention of every Democrat these:
Will you 90 to the polls yourself? Will you use all your
influence to bring your friends and neghbors to the
polls? viii you see, so far you can, that the full
Democratic strength of your precinct is pocd. a full
vote will be a Democratic victory.
There is one matter in reference to which we have
few remarks to make, and these remarks we wish to
commend to the earnest attention OF our Democratic
friends in town and country The Democratic party
of New Hanover County met in Convention in the
town of Wilmington on Tuesday OF June County Court,
and nominated Eli W. Hail. ESQ, for the Senate, and
Hon. S. j. Person and Daniel Shaw, Esq for the Com
mons There are two OF the candidates residents OF the
town Of Wilmington, and only one resident OF the
county outside Of town. In c0nccdlng two candidates
to the town the country precincts have certainly entitled
themselves to expect and to receive full and hearty
support from the town Democrats for the candidate
who is presented from and by the county outside OF
town If the town and county desire to keep up their
friendly rcaons they wish TO act to each other with
mutual good faith, they best do SO by voting the
whole Democratic ticket without scratching or splitting
In town and country let ALL without exception vote
for John W. Ellis Or Governor, Eli W. Hall for Sena-
tor, and S. j. Person and Daniel Shaw for Commorers
There is not one of these gentlemcn-not single one
who is not emineny deserving Of the support of every
Democrat in the county. There is not Of them lOI
whom any man need he ashamed to vote-there is not
one of them who is not truly devoted to the best inter
ests of the State and of the county of New Hanover as
part Of the State
If the Democratic party of New Hanover wishes to
preserve its strength only do so by preserving its
harmony-by acting together, by the Democrats in the
different portions of the county observing mutual good
faith with each other-voting in " ilmington for the
nominees resident in the country and in the country fol
the nominees resident in town. The true plan-th'
plan in accordance with principle and conducive of sue
cess is to go the whole figure, thus -

WoRkINGMEN CoNsIDER.-rhat any system of taxa

dollars worth of wines spiruous liquors aud cordias
making discrimination of 90 per cent in favor OF

amount of champagne French brandy thus enabling
the rich to procure these Injuries at cheaper rate
than at present. and consequently raising the tax upon

is what Mr. Pool calls 'eQuGI tGTGtion." A poor man

Our friends i'll Virginia appear to have had quite a
time of it recently, the difficulty excitement arising
out of the raising Of Lincoln and Hamln pole and
flag by certain Republicans residing at Occoquan,
Prince William county, Virginia.
At first we really supposed, without thinking much
about it, that Occoquan away in the Western part
of Virginia. On the Pennsylvania Ohio line, where
there we're few negroes, but the map shows us that
Prince William county lies the Potomac River, be-
low Mount Vernon, and that Occoquan is situated at
the junction Of the Occoquan River with the Potomac.
Prince W iams the county south Of Fairfax, and the
real Capital of Fairfax county is Alexandria, although
the seat of government is Fairfax Court House.
In this Virginia county, within sight of the broad
Potomac and almost within hearing of Mount Vernon,
VT find an association of sixty Black Republicans
OF different coors white, black aud yellow, organized
hosting Lincoln pole, and threatening to defend it,
and the flag it beaIs aIoft, in spite of public opinion
ard in despite Of the danger which such
subject the public peace.
The pole cut dOwn--s0 far so good, but really
that amounts to little nothing inasmuch the en-
missaries who raised it, and who sustain Southern
soil the principles of which it the emblem, still
there and threaten to raise another in place Of that
which has dem oshed 1t is not the presence
of the pole itsel-i is the differences be drawn from
it that alarming. Taking this excitement in Vir-
gina in connection with recent events in Texas
but feel that there is deeply laid pan with many ram
catons, the object Of this plan being to carry out
something like the programme Of the John Brown in
surection invasion, which nsurrection, of course
failed, as we must trust that all such will fail
1t is said that the excitement at Occoquan is likely
to be renewed by the Republicans there, especially
by named JOS T. Janney, upon whose land the
fagpole raised and had stood for several days. We
rather doubt the "puck of Janney and his associates
We question whether the attempt will be made tc
