Mr.. EvERETTs REeoRD.-In September, 1859 Mr..
Everett issued new edition of his Orations and
SPEECHES u the preface to the third volume writ
ten by himself at Boston, he says:
With the 0rations and Addresses contained in
this volume have included two or three articles of
Inherent kind such as the memoir of Abdul Raha-
man, the Obituary notice of Mr.. Abbott Lawrence
and the Memoir of Mr.. Peter c. Brooks. The first
of these seemed to furnish suitable illustration of
the Speech before the Colonization Society,"" &C.
In the speech above referred to, Mr.. Everett
speaking of Abdul Rahaman an African Chief or
Prince, who was captured and sold into slavery
says:
If there was ever nativeborn gentleman on
earth, he one. He had the port and the air of a
prince, and the literary culture OF scholar. The
learned blacksmith of Alabama, now in Liberia has
attained celebrity scarcely inferior to his white
brother, who is known by the same designation
When lived in Cambridge, few years ago, used
to attend, of the board of visitors, the exam
nations of classical school, in which there was a
colored boy, the son of slave in Mississippi think
he appeared to me to be of pure African blood
There were at the same time two youths from Geo
ga, and one of my own sons, attending the same
school. | must say that this poor negro boy, Bev-
erly Williams, one of the best scholars at the
school, and in the Latin Language he was the best
scholar in his class. Pages 1928.
In the memoir of Abdul Rahaman, appended to
the speech made before the Colonization Society,"
Mr.. Everett says:
abdul was no doubt person of superior endow-
ments, but it is clear that he belonged to people
not essentially below Europeans and Americans in
their capacity for intellectual improvement. And
how few Americans or Europeans after forty years
bondage, would have come out like Abdul unbroken
in body and mind! Let all learn by this example
to respect the African race whose best speci-
mems will not suffer IN comparison with our own,
and remember that there are races in Europe which
fall far below the boosted standard of Caucasian
blood."-Nol. 8, PIP. 1928.
Another reflection, and that of the most painful
character, is that Africans belonging to these supe
ror races are just likely to fall into the hands of
the slave trader any others. The traffic in human
flesh makes no distinctions" p. 1913.
The foregoing extracts may be regarded as the
expression of Mr. Everetts present opinions concern
ing the equality of the races and the respect due to
negroes. In the preface to the third volume, he
pressy states that he had excluded from it his polit
ical speeches made in 1853 and 1854 But he in
sers the speech and the article from which the above
extracts are taken, IA part of which never before ap
peared in his collected orations and speeches) for
the purpose, perhaps of showing his friend Sumner
that, like him, he believes in the equality of the
races, and also to convince VIM. Lloyd Garrison
that his views have not changed since 1889, when
he considered an Aboltionist-M Montgomery

Think of il, Democrats.

1t is noticeable fact that the Bell men greatly
pleased at the division in the Democratic ranks be-
tween Breckenridge and Douglas, and that they are
resorting to every means in their power to augment
and perpetuate this unfortunate strife. few
months ago no word which they could utter was
too severe to be applied to Douglas; but now they
sympathze with him, and declare that but for Bell
they would vote for Douglas. They attend the
Douglas meetings, swelling the numbers and APP
plauding every harsh expression used by the speak
ers against Mr. Breckenridge and bis friends.
These things are so. What is the meaning of it,
brother Democrats? Has it been the habit Of the
federalists on former occasions to sympathze with
and applaud Democrats? These federalists, as their
record shows are as much opposed to territorial
sovereignty the friends of Mr.. Breckenridge are
indeed their candidate, Mr.. Bell, voted against the
Kansas Nebraska act, Of which Mr.. Douglas was
the author and champion; and yet they manifest all
at once warm sympathy for Douglas, and bitterly
oppose Breckenridge, uho agrees oith them on this
question Of territorial sovereignty, which is the
question of the campaign. What does this mean
We will tell you The supporters of Bell in this
State hope, by thus encouraging divisions in the
Democratic party, to carry the State for their cand
dates. All their calculations would be baffied and
all their expectations disappointed if these divisions
in our party could be reconced. Withdraw Mr..
Douglas tomorrow in North. Carolina, and these
federalsts would at once despair of carrying the
State. Their only hope is that few thousands of
Democrats will vote for Douglas, and thus enable
them, By minority cote to grasp the electoral vote
Of the State for Bell. Shall crafty them in this
respect? Is there Democrat in the State who
would deliberately thus work indirectly for the COM
mon enemy? We appeal 10 that portion of the
Douglas Democrats who are not active politicians,
to think of these things. If Breckenridge shall be
defeated in this State it will make no difference
hooo it was effected-the responsibility on those in
strumental in his defeat will he the same. What
may be the state of political feeling elsewhere
there can be no doubt that Mr.. Breckenridge is the
choice of vast majority of the Democrats of North
Carolina. Will Democrats persist in thwartng the
wishes of the majority? What god will it do to
give the vote of the State to Bell? Who will be
benefited by it? The federasts Who will be in
jured by it? The Democrats. This of itself should
induce every Democrat in the State to vote for
Breckenridge. Democrats beware Of federal ap-
proval and federal sympathy.

Raleigh and CASTOR Road.

A called meeting of the stockholders of this Road
was held in the Commons Hall, in this City, on
Thursday last Maj. c. L. Hinton in the chair, and
Maj. Vass of this place, and j. j. Davis ESQ.,, of
Franklin, secretaries. The Hon. D. NJ. Barringer
represented the State stock in the meeting.
A resolution was adopted providing for memorial
zng the Legislature on the subject of increasing the
capital stock of the Company-the proposed in
crease to be 100000, S125,OOO to be kept in re-
serve to purchase not more than one hundred ne
groes for the use of the Road. The proposition to
purchase slaves for the use of the Road debated
at some length by Messrs. T. B. Venable, MOrdecai
Barrnger, and Davis, in favor Of, and the Hon. L.
OBJ Branch in opposition to it. We heard only
the remarks of Mr.. Branch; and while we have no
disposition to find fault with the action of the meet
ing, we must say that it seemed to us that he pre-
sented cogent reasons why the proposition to pur-
chase slaves for the Road should not be adopted.

MocEsvHLE, Sept. % 1860.
GENTLEMEN: Your letter. informing me of my
having been selected by the Democratic District Con-
vention at Winston as elector on the Breckenridge
and Lane ticket, was duly received. was entirely
unprepared for that notification for the reason that
in answer to enquiries from delegates prior to the
meeting of the Convention, | had refused to allow
my name to go before the Convention, as did not
myself feel equal to the labors of the canvass And
accordingly felt constrained to decline, although
with great regret and reluctance
have since received letters from friends in vari-
portions of the District, stating that the Con-
vention was apprzed of the feeble nature of my
health, and insisting upon my acceptance, if did
not participate actively in the labor of the cam
paign.
Under all existing circumstances regarding the
inconvenience and delay of filling ticket at this
period of the campaign, have reconsdered the mat
ter and consent to the of my name and shall do
what can to promote the success of our principles
vital they are, both to the Constitution and the
Union. | do this the more readily, since am as
sured of the active cooperation of gentlemen of we'll
known efficacy, who will more than supply any
shortcomng, on my part, in the canvass.
North Carolina surely will not voluntarily abd
cate her honorable position among her sister States
of the South, at the time when her equality among
the other States Of this Union is brought in ques-
ton and the issue forced upon her. Hitherto our
party has boosted its devotion to principle and its
abnegation of men; time and again has it struck
down its oftcst chiefs with the frmness of Brutus
when they deserted the faith. Surely that party
cannot now be divided by mere personal partizan-
ship, when fundamental principles of Government
are being subjected to the test of popular sentiment
and the union of the States and the equality of the
States, both demand united strength in their de-
fence. fancied availability at the North, will in
duce no one who acts from principle to throw away
his vote in North Carolina when he can make it ef
fecriv for hv for frun
patriots, endorsed such repeatedly by our whole
party, upon platform that defes cav or criticism.
Yours truly,
j. NJ CLEMENT
