COOP News FROM THE EAsT.-From private
letters and the newspapers of Eastern Carolina,
we have the most cheering news of the prospects
of Breckenridge and Lane in that section. A friend
in Wayne county writes as follows:
eve have no Douglas material in this region to
work on. The sputter that MIR McRae is making
in the East is all fustian. l say what know when
l tell you that in Wayne, Lenoir, Green, Edge
combe, Jones, Craven and Onslow, to which l
think | may add Pitt and Wilson-nine counties
Douglas aoiW not get 200 votes II Wayne can't
find more than four five, and in Lenoir not more
than one OR two. As it is, we have nothing to
fear. We of the East are all right There is not
the slightest detection (nothng worthy of the
name) among U.S. The democrats are pretty unani-
mously for Breckenridge. Now and then l find
conscientious good who is still in doubt;
but the masses are unit, and will give Breckin-
ridge and Lane larger majority over the COM
bined forces of Bell and Douglas than Ellis got in
August If the West does its duty, Breckenridge
will sweep the State like tornado
There is not a word in this that do not verify
believe and on which you may not rely. The facts
are as stated, and l hope our democratic brethren
who honestly prefer Douglas, will stop and reflect
on their course and be ready to unite with us in
celebrating the great victory that awaits u.s.

ANOTHER HICKORY PoLE.-There was large
gathering CT the Democracy at Reas on Saturday
last. A fine hickory pole was raised, and the as

who were present speak of Mr. Reas speech in
the highest terms He and others are doing good
service for Breckenridge and Lane, and are deter
mined that the democratic party in this county
shall not be broken up and placed in the power of
the Bell party.

WILL THEY CORRECT? All the opposition
papers in the State, with only one exception, We
believe, published that silly story that the demo-
Gratis of Meckenburg had raised disunion flag
with Is stars it. AS they have been satisfied
before this that it false report, why don't they
correct it, and tell their readers that the Douglas
men here, assisted by some of the Bell men, de-
clared the Union "a failure" more than year ago?

Mr. DOUALAs HAS NO STRENGTH.-The nomi-
availability-that he could carry the non-slave-
holding States. WE'LL the late elections in two of
the free States, Maine and Vermont, show that
Mr. Douglas has but little strength there, although
he made speeches in Maine just before the elec-
ton. In both Vermont and Maine, (the former
Mr. Doug las native State,) the Black Republican
majOrities have been increased, showing that Mr.
Douglas stands no chance of carrying either in
November. His prospects in Ohio and Illinois
are no better, and it is hardly possible for him to
get the vote of either
Our southern friends can now see the utter folly
of running MIR Douglas. He stands no chance of
getting single State in the Union, and every
vote for him in the South is that much against
the Democratic party. If Mr. Douglas desires to
defeat Lincoln, he certainly ought to withdraw
and urge his adherents to support Breckenridge.
nat says the Douglas organ to this
as it true that at a meeting of the "Seceders' -
in the COurt House a short time since, that one of
the orators OF the evening denounced Gen Jack
son In the severest terms, calling him "a miserable
old tyrant," &c.-DOugtas Democrat.
No such language used in any democratic
meeting about here. We know that some persons,
anxious to misrepresent democratic speakers, re-
ported that Col Bryce abused Jackson, but we are
certain he did no such thing. We refute the in-
slnuation from our own knowledge of what was said
and by the authority of Col. Bryce himself
Now We want the editor of the Douglas organ to
answer question or two Is it true that he ap-
piauded VIM l.. Yancey when he made a speech
IN front OF the Mansion House in Charlotte several
months ago, after being handsomely introduced
to the crowd by our friend, the Douglas EIector
for this District '"0 -1'0o'''
Is 1T true that the editor of the DouoIas orson
subscribed money to buy powder to fire those
disuniOn guns on the 4th of July, 1859, at which
time the said editor, together with the President
OF the late Douglas Convention, were present and
declared the Union a failure
Will our astute neighbor fess up or back DOWN.
UT Will he continue to call those who opposed his
uiSunon movements "seceders"
Consistency is said to be jewel, but it doesn't
appear that the Douglas men of Charlotte care
much about it.

Last Tuesday evening the Democracy held a
meeting in the Court House, and addressed
by l.. Z. Thompson, Esq, of Lincolnton, and A.
Fox, Esq, of this place. Mr. Thompson made an
able, argumentative speech, explaining how the
territorialsoveregnty doctrine of Mr. Douglas, and
the non-committal policy of Mr. Bell would oper-
ate against the South. He pointed out the error
of the Douglas in trying to divide the demo-
cratic party at this time-a time when the whole
party should be united to defeat Lincoln, as the
contest was really between Breckenridge and Lin
coln Bell and Douglas, Mr. T. truly remarked,
were out of the ring far as the probability of an
Maine showed that Douglas possessed 30 strength
there, although he had stumped the State. If he
has no strength at the North, he certainly had
at the South and therefore stood no chance
Of getting single State Mr. Thompson was lis
tened to with much attention by the audience AMI
rapturously applauded at the close Of his speech,
Mr. Fox, our Electcr, made a speech which
elected much applause. He declared his purpose
to give Breckenridge and Lane a hearty support,
for he believed that by their election only could
the Union be preserved for any great length of
time; and he thought the Douglas men were pur-
suing strange course, for it not possible they
could think that their candidate stood the least
chance of election-some of them had already
admitted that Lincoln stood the best chance-then
why throw their votes away upon Doug las-why
not unite with the Democratic party in an effort
to elect Breckenridge, a in whom they can
find no fault?
The meeting an enthusiastic one, and show
ed that the old democratic spirit was still alive

paF How is it that our Shakspearian neighbor,
the Douglas organ, does not direct any of its attacks
against John Bell and his party? The editor pro-
fesses to be "true democrat" but never word
he or his friends say against Bell, of the oppo-
sition candidates for President. Rather strange,
some people think. 1t is curious that those who
profess to be democrats should direct all their as
saults against Breckenridge and Lane, the demo-
cratic candidates, and at the time fail to point
out particular objection to them their platform.

THE SrAMPEDE.-The number of prominent
men in the South who are renouncing Bell and
Douglas affords cheering sign that the Demo
cratic party will triumph in November.
John Clisby, Esq one of the Bell Electors in
Alabama, has declined, and will support Breckin-
ridge o. A. Nixon, the Douglas elector in the
eth District of Tennessee, has declined the posi-
ton, and will also support the national democratic
candidates, Breckenridge and Lane.
In view Of these things, the Richmond Enquirer
very properly remarks:
Indeed, the matter rests entirely on the popular
election now, and the only candidates really in the
field are Breckenridge and Lane against Lincoln
and Hamlin. The Democratic party will carry
the entire South and the two Pacific States. Only
twenty-five votes more necessary, and the firm
purpose of conservative men throughout Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey to unite their efforts on a
single ticket of electors, instructed to vote for the
strongest anti-Lincon candidate, now furnishes a
cheering hope for the election of Breckenridge
and Lane by the popular vote.
This is the only means by which Lincoln's cleo
ton can now be prevented

was concerned, and to speak under the inau.
ence of Edgar A. Poe =

From the home of love supernal
Where the angel feet make music over all the starry

Come with words of peace to greet you
And to tell you of the glory that is mine forever

lngs of yore,
But in holy love descending,
With her chastened being blending,
would fill your souls with music from the bright
celestial shore.
AS one heart yearns for another,
AS a child turns to its mother,
From the golden gates of glory turn to the earth
once more,
Where drained the cup ofsadness,
Where my soul was stung to madness,
And lItes bitter, bur0ing pillows swept my burden
ed being O'er.
Here the -harpes and the ravens
Human vampyTes-sordid craYens,
Preyed upon my soul and substance till Iwrithed in
anguish sore;
Life and then seemed mismated,
For felt accursed and fated,
Like restless, wrathful spirit, wandering on the
Stygian shore
Tortured by a nameless yearning
Like frOst-fre, freezing, burning,
Did the purple pulsing iie-de through its fevered
channels pour,
Till the golden bowl-Life's token
Into shining shards was broken,
And my chained and chatting spirit leapt from out
its prison door
But while living, striving, dying,
Never did my soul cease crying:
"1e who guide the tates and furies, give! oh, give
me- implore,
From the myriad hosts of nations
From the countless installations,
One pure spirit that can love me-one that l. too,
can adoreW
Through this fervent aspiration
Found my fainting soul salvation,
For, from out its backened fre-crypts did my
qulckened spIit soar;
And my beautiful ideal
Not too sanity to be real
Burst more brightly on my vision than the fancy
formed Leonore.
Mid the surgiRg seas she found me-
With the pillows breaking rOnnd me,
And my saddened, sinking spirit, in her arms of
love upbOre;
Like lone one, weak and weary,
Wandering in the midnight dreary,
her snless sanity bosom brought me to the
heavenly shore.
Like the breath of blossoms blending,
Like the prayers OF saints ascending,
Like the rainbow's seven-hued glory, blend souls
foIeVermore.
Earthly love and lust enslaved me-
But diyinest love hath saved me,
And know now first and only, how to love and to
adore.
Oh, my mortal friends and brothers,
We each and all anOthers,
And the soul that gives most freely from its treasure
hath the more.
Would you lose your life, you find it;
And i'll giving love, you bind it,
Like an amulet OF safety, to your heart, forever
