Here they deny that Congress protect the property

Heavy Rain-Mail Failure.

We have lately had several days of heavy rains, and
some wind with prospects of heavy storm Last even
ing the wind shifted round to the East and change
from excessive heat during last week to quite cool and
pleasant weather this morning.
The mail train due here at 5 o'clock this morning
from Weldon has not yet arrived We learn that the
heavy rains have caused the embankmen of the track
crossing at Black Greek to wash so much that the Con
ductor thought it dangerous for the train to cross and
consequently has not yet arrived here The DAMAGES
will be speedily repaired and but little delay will proba-
bly, result therefrom.
Ofcourse we are without our usual exchanges and
correspondence this morning.

nsg- The Steamer Parkersburg arrived last evening
about O'Clock She must have encountered severe
weather on her passage but she made the voyage from
New York to this port within an hour or two OF her
usual time.
Our merchants are beginning to appreciate the I'M
portance of steam communication They say, and say
truly that now they tell to day, when their goods
will be received-and that sales easily be made even
in advance of the receipt of the goods in Wilmington
to be delivered at stated time This is certainly an
advantage not to be lost sight OF by prudent dealer
and we are pleased to hear business men speak thus
favoraby of the line of Steamers recently established
between New York and Wilmington.

Got EN- ThereI

The following from the Fayetteville Courier is hit,
palpable HIT not only to the Observer but nearly all
the Opposition papers in the State, who after the last
Congressional elections, anxious to explain away
and figure down the Democratic majority in North
Carolina to nothing, next to nothing. That game
did very well before the recent election Now it is
different thing. Tremendous odds are invoked to
cover up tremendous defeat.
From the Fayetteville Courier.
A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-Our friends of the Observer,
and of the Opposition party generally, gorying
what they pleased to term reduction of the Demo-
cratic majority in this State That the Observer may
its inconsistency and its party be made cognoscent
of the true state of the cas according to the assertions
of their own organ, quote from the ObSe ve issued
few weeks before the election.
The last square Wing and Democratic fight between
Gen. Dockery and Gov Bragg. The three Districts gave
Bragg over Dockery majority of 1893. Deduct wing ma
oriy of 3540 above and have left what suppose
about the strength of parties at the beginning of this
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS majority only 3,459.
That is small number of votes to overcome. chance
of 30 votes, average of but 81 to the county, would
elect Mr. Pool And need scarcely add that from
best information that obtain the change will count
up in thousands"
Thus, it will be seen that according to their OWE
statements, the Democratic party has sustained loss
but has made a gain in the campaign which has Just
closed 1t would not have been very surprising to
if we had been defeated. The base charges manufac
tured against Governor Ellis the pausibilty of the ar
guments Of the Opposition standard bearer, when moi
examined Alright the strenuous efforts of opponents
were all calculated to u.s. But thanks to the
good and pure Democrats of North Carolina we have
off victorious in this contest as we have in every
other one which we have fought for the past ten years

The Politics of the Rtpubl,can Party

The Democratic ReUleav has we'll considered article
on the politics OF the Republican party. The following
extract shows It's present position pp. Al and AID
We say then that the territorial question being no
longer living issue-tha Kansas no longer harrassed
and disturbed by John Brown and his conederates and
men OF such agltatDg propensities-the Republican
party has been dsrobed and the true character and e
ultimate designs of the party long concealed under the
fascinating and popular plea OF securing freedom in Kan
sas revealed 1t has come to its position
the position which any political organization must
ultimately come to occupy who make the question of
slavery the only plank in their patform-to wit con-
test with the institution of slavery it exists in the
States under the well selected title of an "repressib
conflict" 1t has buried deep in the past the only SEM
blance OF conservatism which it ever possessed, and
now It assumes an open direct, and unequvocal
antagonlsln, to what? Not certainly to slavery
| in the Territories because that is an obsolete
question, but to the s!aveholdiDg arstocracy,
the privileged class of the South" Deny it who will
the position of the Republican party is no longer one
concerning slavery as its effects the Territories but t
Is slavery as 1t exists in the States. And now we
desire to KNOW because>the acceptance of the doc
trnes OF the uniformity of the institutions of the
American Union advanced by Mr.. Lincoln, and the
"lrrepressble conflict views promulgated by Senator
Seward universally by the Republican organization rem
1t their faith too, what Interpretation we can give
these declarations. We conceive that the individual
who examines them carefully with an intellect unbiased
by partisan preudlces must admit that they mean that
this systematic war upon slavery must continue; that
the agitation, which created unnecessarily and for
the advancement OF the interest Of the Repubi-
can party Immediately after the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise must rage with increased tury
until freedom is triumphant and slavery is Inundated
before the agitatng elements of the North They mean
that SO long as slavery exists within the confines of the
American confederacy there be peace-no cessa
on OF That nermnable strife which has already divid
ed the sentiments of the American people disturbed the
tranquility of the public mind, and weakened in de
gree those bonds that connect the stars
of the Union in one glorious constellation
We say that such is the natural and inevitable result
OF the pseudo doctrines OF these two Republican leaders
Endorsed and sustained by the organization itself and
furthermore, that it is the ultimate position which an,
political party in this country must come to occupy tina
makes the question Of slavery the basis of its creed
