after another, the arguments, If they could be so

CasNyelI County.
To JAS. T
Convention.

We make the following extract from a letter from
one OF the most intelligent and reliable Democrats in
Caswe County. Caswell is now, as heretofore, ''al
right" Our friend says
ut is needless for me to say to you that the De-
mocracy of this County is all right, and will be
found in the right place at the proper time No
side issues or third party possibly cause them
to support any other than true Democrat for any
office in the present excited state of political affairs
1t has been matter of astoniShmcnt to that men
otherwise honorable, and men on whom we could
rely in all matters except in politics. should at the
present time attempt TO divide the people of the
South by effort to establish third party, as they
call it. The deliberations of the Charleston Con-
vention will be the most important Of any Conven-
ton ever held IN this country. How important
then that calmncss and yet firmneSs should govern
its members. l love the Union, and am ready to
sacrifice any personal considerations for the sake of
the Union, but want the Constitution and equality
in the Union rih the Union. Hoping that you
may have harmonious meeting, and that your de-
EberatonS at Charleston may tend to unite the par
ty North and South, and add many days to the lib
critics we now enjoy, l am, &C."

The Discussion in Marlborough.

We copy from the SOutherner the following &C
count Of the discussion in Tarborough between
Gov. Ellis and Mr. Pool:
1.-THE Discussion ON TnURsDAY.-Gov. Ellis and
John Pool, ESQ.,, the Candidates, respectively of the
Democratic and Opposition party, met for public
discussion at this place on Thursday last. There
was large turn out of the people, and both the
speakers were listened to with marked attention.
The discussion was conducted with much ability and
dignity
Mr. Pool made the opening speech. He commenc-
ed by telling the people of Edgecombe that he be-
lieved he was the first candidate in opposition to the
Democratic nominee for Governor that had ever ad-
dressed an Edgecombe audience and without farther
preface he marched directly to the issue involved
in the canvass-ad rdLOrem. Mr.. Pool did not
meet our expectation in handling this ISSUE and we
could not but think he convinced in favor of it,
against his WILL by the action of the late Opposition
Convention.
The whole tenor of his speech was, probably un-
intentional on his part, for he dsclaimed any such
motive, calculated to array one class of our COM
munity against another, by the merest special
pleading in the world, and for scealthy Wing, as
he is, we thought he suddenly conceived most pro-
found love for the peOple's-rOtes. He consumed
his allotted time chiefly in telling the people that
this doctrine not new in the South, but existed
in most of the Southern States without telling them,
that in those States slavery existed in every section
VIII souleluHho lhe equality lhdt CouIi vi 'nib
slave labor was so profitable it needed no such con-
stitutional protection as in the wisdom of our fore
fathers, had been thrown around that species of
property here 81
20 He did great violence to the platform, Messrs.
Badger, Graham & Co. thought they had construct
ed so WELL aud Mr.. Pool we thought was inclined to
put a CONSTRUCTION best suited 20 the locality in
which his'speech was made, instead of representing
the notions of his political fathers. The people of
this section not apt however to drink from the
political fountains that spring from such question
able sources.
He was for certain exemptions from the universal
rule of equal taxation and declared for free and
open Convention upon the Federal basis; but op-
posed to the whole system if the Convention was
to be called upon the white basis, he thought BY
that means the East could control the West in the
Convention. He closed by announcing that he was
good Wing and better American, and called very
afectngly on the erich and the poor, the high and
the low" not even excepting foreigners and Catho-
lies, we suppose for support.
Gov, Ellis in a most mastery manner, met one

"POLYGAMY AND SLAvEHY."-It is evident, from
the following from the New York Tribune that the
black Republican leaders view domestic slavery in
the same light in which they view polygamy, and
that they will deal with the former summarly as
they have with the latter if they get the power:
THE House yesterday overruled all the proposed
substitutes and lodging amendments and passed Mr.
Nelson's bill prohibiting and furnishing Polygamy
TO GO nays. Were it not for the evident reluctance
felt by the pro-slavery to establish precedent
fraught with peril to the peculiar institution"
the vote would have been practically unanimous -
But the twin relic of barbarsm" held back sixty
of its trusty henchmcn, though we must say it did
not rally its forces fully fidelity and good poll
cy clearly demanded. Is not Polygamy ''patri-
archal institution" Was it not pracliced 10y the
wscst and greatest of the Hebrew rulers and sages
Why should slavery turn its back on its Siamese
brother? 1t is the cowardice Of despair that coun
sells recreancy in such q case"

The Pryor and Potter affair.

WASHINGTON, April l3.-The following is believ-
ed to he correct state of the affair between
Messrs. Pryor and Potter up to twelve o'clock to.
day. Immediately after the occurrence in the House
Pryor despatched through Hindman, of Arkansas,
note to Potter asking him to leave the District in
order to receive further communication from him.
10 this note Potter replied that it contemplated
an avoidance of the antiduelng law penalties in the
District and that as his disqualification was certain
under the Constitution of Wisconsin, he therefore
could not leave the District On receiving this an
swer, MIR. Chisman, Pryor'S friend Substituted for
Hindman, who was compelled to leave for Arkansas
hand,d Potter a peremptory challenge from Pryor,
dated from Virginia Mr. Lander, who had been
designated by Potter as his friend after lapse of
II hours, handed a note to Chsman, accepting the
challenge, and naming common Bowie knives as the
weapons, the parties to fight in the open air, with
two friends each, armed with Colts dueng pistols.
Mr.. ChSman protested against the weapons selected
as absurd, barbarouS and vulgar and offered to con-
strue the code in the most liberal manner provided
other weapons were substituted. Potter authorized
Lander to decline any other terms and Lander offers
to take the place of Potter with any other weapons
10 both of which propositions, Chisman, without
consulting Pryor replied that the first is vulgar and
inadmissible; and that, while approaching Landers
zeal for his friend, they had of quarreling
with him, and consequently no demand to make OF
him.
Pryor is still in Virginia and has not vet heard
OF his seconds action in the matter. The latter is
believed to have acted after consultation with Miles,
Keitt, Mason and Hammond.
Potter came INTO the House about II o'clock to-
day. Pryor is still absent
Second Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-It is understood that the
correspondence between Pryor and Potter will be
published. At present. at first supposed, Pryor
has returned to the city. An attempt was made to
arrest him in Alexandria to-day by Washington of.
ficers but they informed that no further pro-
ceedings will be attempted
