At,precisely III o'clock the doomed man ar
rived at the spot where he was to bid adieu to
the world AS soon as he got out of the carriage
ne rapidly assembled the steps of the galows, fol-
lowed by the Sheriff, his deputies and the Clergy.
We could not observe in the prisoner the slight
eat indication Of fear; on the contrary, he was
calm and collected, appeared perfectly resigned
to the terrible fate which awaited him.

LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT Yesterday forenoon we re-
ceived the annexed note. We tried the lamp last night
found it to give pure and powerful light, fully equal
to the best gas to burn without smoke or SMELL and
not to any large amount of the oil or fluid In
fact, trial perfectly satisfactory, think
will he the wherever pure article Of oil is obtain
ed. If all crudities not removed from the OIL it will
be certain to smoke and SMELL The specimen sent us
by Mr.. CAssIDEY was perfectly limpid:
MEssRs EDITORS Seeing your remarks in the Journal of
yesterday, and continually hearing about the most msera-
BILE light afforded by the gas use, and feeling the in

Now AND Then. our Opposition friends in
North Carolina look upon platforms with much con,
tempt-they to think that long platform is
cessary Indication of something very like dishonesty
This is what they say
Well, look back little. In February of this very
year the leaders Of that party met in Convention at Raj
eigh, and had pow-wow, Convention and platform
1t was compend CT the Declaration of independence
the Bill of Rights the Criminal Code the Confession Of
Faith and the Thirty Nine Articles Such State plat
form had been seen heard or thought of in North
Carolina. In February last that was all right Then
the Opposition prepared 10 defend any amount OF
platform Now they are down on platforms. Charming
innocence and delightful consistency Surely the game
of politics sometimes embraces queer moves and this is
one of them.

Gas.

We don't like 10 grumble when we can help it gene
rally it does no good. OF course everybody knows that
for nights past gas has given, not light, but
rather darkness visible. Everybody growls, naturally
enough. The officers of the Gas Company know all
this just we'll do and prove that they do by ap
pealing to the patience of consumers for short time
This is the present state of the case and secret
and can be no news to anybody But some of citi-
kens find fault with the press of the town that it does
not kick up fuss about the deficiency of the light
Why don't the Journal and the He, aid do so and So
something mysterious, we suppose. Now let us ask,
rchat is expected of the papers? Are they to inform
the public that the gas very roorP The public knows
that already Are they to tell the managers of the Gas
Company or Gas Works that the public is very much
aggrieved and dissatisfied? That fact must be known
to ALL That it as known is proved by the appeal made
to the patience C consumers Will somebody suggest
something for to do in the premises We mean some
thing really practical OF course we all want good light
and at fair price We pay high enough to have good
light and think ourselves entitled to it, but this is
matter for all consumers equally with u.s.

RSs- We learn upon undoubted authority, that en-
quiry made at the railroad Offices at Salisbury showed
that the whole arrivals there by railroad, the two
days of the big opposition meeting were less than
fve hundred. This includes those coming to Salisbury
from the North and from the South on the n c. Rail-
road and from the West the Western extension with
the exception of few wagons from CabarruS, and a
few struggling vehicles from other adjoining counties
the strangers outside of Rowan came by Railroad
Excitement tends to unconscious exaggeration. The
dinner and the general arrangements at Salisbury were
capital The COWS and sheep wild SINCE having lost
their BELLS said bells having been converted into poti
clans or political institutions.

Discussion AT SMITHvHLE.--We understand that
Hon. Warren Winslow addressed his constituents Of
Brunswick county at Smthvlle on Monday afternoon,
the 18th instant the political issues of the present
Presidential canvass, and replied to by Oliver
Dockery, Esq, Bell and Everett EIector brief re-
joinder from Mr. Winslow and still more brief sur
rejoinder from Mr.. Dockery closed the discussion.
Mr. Winsows effort is spoken of as complete vim
dication of Democratic principles and policy, and a
whitening exposure of the shams and humbug of the
Beleverettites Mr. Dockery struggled in vain against
the conclusive arguments and facts brought forward by
Mr. Wnslow, but did the best that could be done for
sinking cause. Mr.. Winslow was particularly happy
in his rejonder The discussion occupied the greater
part of the afternoon and was marked by courtesy and
good feeling We are doing well in Brunswick.

H9@ This being the week of Duplin county Court,
W. A. Allen, Esq, able and worthy elector for this
district was prevented from meeting his competitor Mr.
Dockery, at Brunswick. We understand that the cleo
tors met however, at KenansviIe on Wednesday, and
that the discussion passed off to the full satisfaction of
the Democracy then and there present. who felt proud
OF the ability with which the Democratic cause was sus-
tained by their fellowcountyman, Mr.. Allen.
Hon. Warren Winslow also spoke at Kenansville on
Wednesday, and with his usual ability and effect Old
Dupn is ready for the fray She will do her full duty
Are we in New Hanover equally ready?

NATURALLY, Senator Seward seems to have met with
d more cordial reception from the Prince of Wales and
the Royal party" than any other citizen of the United
States OF course Sewardism is the universal ism in
England and from Prince to peasant Seward is the
representative man. Our abolitionism is mere de-
rivaton from Britain, mere reflex Of Exeter Hail.
When men howl over the Prince Of Wales and the kin
dred race and all that, then think little and we
don't howl We see one paper talk about the boy as
man of reflection and another talk about his apprecat
ing institutions" and all that sort of thing. No
doubt he thinks England and Germany very consider
able. America rising but uncivilized country and
wonders why Congress don't abolish slavery, and so on
and so FORTH If it be said that he is well educated and

bS~Some Regiment of New Y ork Volunteers main
y composed of Irshmen refused to turn out to do hon
to the Prince of Wales and for this the vrtuous in
dignaton of Harpers Weekly is aroused against them,
and all sorts of Irishmen catch it, together with the
Pope nd all persons of papstical anities up to the
Pope's grandmother.
These volunteer troops were wrong in refusing, as
I'Shmen to turn out They in their public capacity,
were simply New York Militia politically citi-
zens of the United States and such only were they
called upon This country has nothing to do with their
former squabbes-hey citizens of this country have
no right to obtrude them.

s9s~ Our neighbour of the Herald animadVerts pref
ty severely upon the notice of the late Opposition meet
ing at Salisbury made by the Democratic paper at that
place-the Salisbury Banner We little dis
posed as any be to admit any unnecessary as
cerby into the discussion of the issues arising cut of
the present canvass or to notice with bitterness or in
justice the movements of the opposition i'll the South
Yet we deem it only fair to the Banner to let the read
of newspapers here have opportunity of seeing the
remarks of that paper to which objection is made by
the Herald.
In regard to the weather. is certain that the first
day of the meeting inclement, as it also appears
that the second the big day pleasant so that there
need be no issue about that We know also that with
out any design of over-statement gentlemen saturated
with the enthusiasm of such occasions are apt to over
estimate and thus nnocenty to over-state the numbers
present. We have seen good many crowds and as
rule they are always overestmated, and this lnnO-
Gently enough by all parties. So that too may pass.
By all accounts the be-rngings and other merely
physical demonstrations carried to a point
that to spectator must have appeared very much like
ooery-in fact the ringing of cOwbes and all bells as
an argument for the election of gentleman who hap
pens to be named Bell is weak pun, hardly worthy of
Badger by that ardent and impulsive youth, Mr. Boy
den and the hugging of the both by Gov. Morehead
was very much like stage scene.
But the speeches made-the opinions avowed, were,
after ALL the matters of the greatest moment Surely
few will agree with the assertion that would class the
Administration of Franklin Pierce the worst we eV-
er had or ever could have, not excepting Lncolns
We most honestly believe that Frank Pierce is now the
first choice of larger majority of the people OF orth
Carolina than any other living Whatever objections
have been made to the tone of the Banners reference to
the meeting have not any denial oAe correctness
Of the report of the language the positions of the lead
ing speakers such report is given by that paper and
it to the expressions and positions Of the speakers that
we wish to direct attention We know that there are
many very many gentlemen who have acted and still
do act with the Opposition, who cannot endorse any
thing of the kind.
