Al Once.

Now what we want to say is this. Let us, III North
Carolina consider this matter as settled Let have
no division in ranks let US not be under the
necessity of wasting any OF our force IN combatt the
friends Of the Dougl wing of the Democracy but let
US at by concert among ourselves be prepared to
turn our whole force to defeat the opposition.
Let there be waveriDg now-no back-lOokng-nO
theartednesS- ordinations determinations, but
let US rally at once around the banner which the great
body of the North Carolina Democracy already delight
to honor We will thus preserve our own harmony and
secure the defeat of the Opposition.
Nssy~ AS we write-(a quarter to eleven) the Their
mometer is at 90 and rising Under these clrcumsan-
stances we feel like taking it cooly as possible We
do not feel like writing long, labored editorials We
prefer the scissors to the pen We also relieved from
the necessity of making any great effort by being placed
in possession of the labors of intelligent correspond
ent who offers some we-cOnsidered views upon one of
the aspects Of the ad Ualorem question.
The candidates for the dOvernorshp of this State are
in the mountains. We trust they have good time :"
We would like to be there ourselves but not canvassng.
Perhaps it is as well that should be here. At any
rate here we are with the thermometer still rising 1t
is going be hotter to-day than it Las yet been this
year. 1t is time that it should be hot One of the edi
tors of the Herald is having nice trip through the
Western country He is lucky. We belong to the
t-geaway club, pleasant association of perspirng
patriots.

WILMINGTON DIRECToRY-tO aUhich is added BUSINESS
DIRECTORY for l860-'6l. Compiled by L. luther Jr.
Journal Bu dings: Fulton Price, Steam Power Press
Printers. 1860.
The above is the title of work which has been well
done by Mr. luther its compiler, and which cannot fail
to prove beneficial to the trading and other interests of
the town of Wilmington. 1t contains alphabetical
list of business houses and Individuals aternated with
the cards advertisements of seventy of
terprsing business firms, these latter being in
dexed the beginning for convenience of reference
The Business Directory, at the close also contains
complete inventory catalogue of every branch of bn-
sness pursued in our community with the of the
parties engaged in their prosecution.
The Appendix " gives the Town Government
with its various officers and dcparmens-the Schools,
ITALIAN Association, Cemetery County officers Courts,
Inspectors, Gas Company Secret Societies. Benevolent
Societies, Military Companies, Banks Railroads,
Churches Post Office, Custom House, Consus etc.
We think upon the whole that the Directory is neat
y got up and will be great convenience. 1t will be
found very convenient in counting houses and dwell
gs but especially ought it to be circulated all through
the State-hung up at every depot, and the public
of every hotel stopping place If this is done
it will pay and pay we'll those circulating the Directory

Printed by Soher Maroon, at their Book and Job Of
fce 1860.
The above is the title in full of neatly bound 12mo.
small 8vo. of 800 pages published by Messrs O. H.
Perry Co., of Raleigh who state in their preface that
of the original edition of Lawsons book repubshed by
them, but two copies are to be found in the State
in the State Library, and one at the University
Hence in their opinion the necessity OF reprint, in
der to preserve entire in all its sprghtness and origin
atty work which tends to elucdae the history of the
good old State.
We believe this is faithful reprint from the London
edition of TIA. 1t ought to obtain wide sale among
all those who feel interest in the early history of the
State in the and circumstances of the Colo
nists of the last century.
