RALEIGH: SATURDAY. SEPT. %, 1850.
A Word of Explanation.


The Douglas Convention which assembled in this
City on the SOth August adopted the following res
olution:
"Resolred, That we instruct our Electors to vote
for Douglas and johnson in case it will either elcc:
them before the people, or carry them to the House
of Representatives and in case it will do neither,
they shall cast their votes will best subserve the
purpose of defeating the black Republican candi-
dates"
1t will be observed that the Douglas Democrats
have committed themselves to the position that it
would be better to carry Douglas to the House
than to elect Breckenridge by the people; and that
they have made no distinction between Breckenridge
and ii. Under these circumstances, and after
some reflection we deem it to be our duty to strike
from our Editorial columns the following:
ave shall support this ticket for President and
Vice President on these conditions That the Elec-
tors will vote for the strongest man. Breckenridge
or Douglas as the case may be against lincoln
That is, if the vote of this State will elect either Of
them oyer Lincoln or will put either of them in the
House. it is to be cast accordingly. But if the vote
will elect neither nor put. either Of them in the
House, the Electors to vote as they please"
We still think that the vote of this State should
be cast so as to elect Breckenridge, Douglas, or
Bell by the people, as against Lincoln; and we have
doubt if the people of the State should elect the
Breckenridge Electors, as believe they will, that
the vote wifi be so cast But Douglas friends
must not expect us to make constant tender of
more to them than they will concede to us. Hence
our course, and hence this explanation.
Voters of all parties should bear in mind that the
question of the Constitutional rights of the South is
above party. We have always so treated it, and we
are so treating it now. We believe the safest and
best course in North Carolina is to support Mr..
Breckinridsc, and we acting accordingly. There
is yet room for hope that Lincoln be de-
feated hut however this may be, let US adhere to
principle and go with our section in this great,
but We trust not final struggle for the Constitution
and the Union. We still have confidence in the
great body of the Northern Democracy and We re-
gret our partial separation from them; but regrets
vain for what is past. Let us do duty under
the circumstances which surround U.S.

Mr.. Sanders then spoke Of the Importance
of learninsssto sing,not only as a pass-time,
but also as the best means of developing
the vocal powers. lie next took up the
subject of Elocutiou and gave a thor
Ough drill in Articulation, in which all
members of the Institute participated.
He also dwelt upon the necessity of
teachers requiring their pupils to read
and talk distinctly. Adjourned until 2

metic by Prof. j. A. Cooper, Principal of
the Academy. Prof. Sanders followed
with an exercise from his Evolutionary
chart the members giving all the vowel
sounds in concert. The afternoon session
closed with an exercise in Orthography
the class writing a long list of words
and mutually correcting each others err
rors. Between each Of the drills a short
recess was given, followed by singing from
the Robin Red Breast one Of Mr.. Sanders
Juvenile Singing Books.
The number Of names already registered
is So Ia consequence of the inclemency
of the weather and state of the roads
many teachers were detained to-day who
will probably be in attendance tomorrow.
The regular lectures and discussions
with which it is intended the evenings
shall be occupied were omitted to give
the teachers an opportunity to attend
Irof. Marsh's Musical Concert. The
performance of the pieces were such as
fully to justify the high encomiums be-
slowed upon them by Prof. Sanders dur
ing a brief but appropriate Lecture upon
Music. Hereafter the exercise vii! con-
sist of daily drills under Profs. Sanders,
Campbell, Lewis and Cooper.
The evenings will be occupied by lee
lures and discussions as previously an
nounced. The Institute will continue
until the 24th. All interested in the

and LIQUoRs, imported by Udolpho Wolfe, of
New York, whose name is familiar in every
part of this country for the purity Of his cele-
brated SCHIEDAM ScENAPPs. MIR. Wolfe, in
his letter to me, speaking of the purity of his
Wines and Liquors, says: 4" will stake my
reputation as a man my standing as a mer-
chant of thirty years residence in the City of
New York, that all the Brandy and Wines
which | bottle are pure as imported, and of
the best quality, and can be relied upon by

Read the following from the New York
Courier:
ENORMOUS BUSINESS FOR ONE New YORK
MERCHANT.-We are happy to inform our fell
Iow-citizens that there is one place in our city
where the physician, apothecary, and country
merchant, can go and purchase pure Wines
and Liquors, as pure as imported, and of the
best quality. We do not intend to give an
elaborate description of this merchants eX-
tcnsivc business, although it will repay any
stranger or citizen to visit Udolpho Wolfe's
extensive warehouse, Nos. Is, 20 and %,
Beaver street, and Nos. IT, 10 and 81, Mark
etfcld street. His stock of SchnappS on hand
ready for shipment could not have been less
than thirty thousand cases the Brandy, some
ten thousand cases-Nintages oflS36 to 1856 F.;
and ten thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry
and Port Wine, Scotch and Irish Whisky,
Jamaica and St. Croix Rum, some very old
and equal to any in this country. He also
had three large cellars, filled with Brandy,
Wine, &C, in casks, under Custom-llouse key,
ready for bottling. Mr.. Wolfe's sales of
Schnapps last year amounted to one hundred
and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope in
less than two years he may be equally sue
cesSful with his Brandies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every
lover of his species. Private families who
wish pure Wines and Liquors for medical use
should send their orders direct to Mr.. Wolfe,
until every Apothecary in the land make up
their minds to"discard the poisonous stuff from
their shelves, and replace it with Wolfe's pure
Wines and Liquors.
We understand Mr.. Wolfe, for the accom-
mediation of small dealers in the country. puts
Such a man, and such a merchant, should be
sustained against bis tens of thousands Of OPP
ponents in the United States, who sell Moth
ing but limitations, ruinous alike to human
health and happiness. [52-6m*
