wake County.

We come forward TO remind the organized Demo-
cracy Of Wake Of the Importance Of standing by
their ticket and of exertng themselves as in form
er days to ensue its success. Messrs. Thompson,
Haywood, Mordecai, and Cox are all good Demo-
Gratis and have been fairly and regularly nominst-
ed; but on account of an unfortunate division in
our ranks, the Opposition are counting with some
confidence on achieving ayictory in this old Gibral-
tor Of Democracy.
George v. Thompson, ESQ.,, the regular nominee
for the Senate, is too well known to the peopleof
Wake County to need any notice or commendation
at our hands, He has served the County long and
faithfully in various capacities. He has enjoyed
under all circumstances the confidence Of his party
and the respect Of his opponents. His whole ca
reer as public man repe.s the idea that he is an
ambitious place-seeker. The party has called him
to his present position and it is the duty of the
party to sustain him in it.
Be on the ground early in the day, brother Demo
Gratis, and cote and cork for Thompson The con-
test will be close one; and it is therefore, the
more incumbent on all of US to perform our duties
as friends of regular organization with renewed ac-
tivity and ZEAL
Mr.. Haywood is freely giving his time and bis
noble energies to the cause. He has recently visit
ed distant portions Of the State to speak for your
principles, brother Democrats, and to aid in the
great general work Of carrying the State He has re-
signed lucrative Office to serve you on the stump
and in the Legislature. He is of the most gift
ed and promising young men in the State. Wake
Comfy wi nf rfv ho
proud of his genius and talents. Cherish him,
brother Democrats. Elect him. You can, if you
will. The Opposition are boasting that Haywood
shall be beaten Will you allow that, with your
former proud majorties? We do not believe you
will.
Mr.. Mordecai who is also on the Commons ticket,
is sound Democrat clever man, and IN every
respect worthy of your suffrages. Of Mr.. Cox, the
other candidate for the Commons, the same may
truly be SAID. The charge that he has but recently
settled among US, has no weight He is native Of
the State and, as proof of his devotion to North
Carolina, he returned to the State and settled per-
manently in it soon after he reached mans estate
He is Democrat of the "Old Hickory" school,
having imbibed his lessons from the pure fountain
of the Hermitage The interests Of the people Of
tho County will be entirely safe, and will be well
attended to in the hands of such men as Thompson,
Haywood, Mordecai, and Cox
Be on the ground early, brother Democrats, and
cote the ,choe ticket Do not forget Gov Ellis and
Sheriff High. You gave the former, two years ago,
more than eight hundred majority. Let us labor to
keep the figures just where they are, and all will
be well. The Opposition are claiming large gains
for Pool in Wake County. Let us dsappoint them.
Let us see to it that Coz. Ellis receires eighteen
hundred rotes in the County. That would give him
between five and six hundred majority; and with
such majority here, where the Opposition are ma
king their greatest efforts, he will lead Mr.. Pool in
the State by from eight to ten thousand majority.
Sheriff High, it is true, has no opposition, but
that constitutes no reason why his friends should
not give him good vote. He has been too urfwell,
until within day or two past, to make his usual
rulings with the candidates. A faithful honest and
competent officer, and captain" BESIDES let us
make him feel proud in "regimentals and out Of
"regmentals," by the largest vote he ever received
in the County.
