discussion at Granville.

GRANVILLE, August 9th, looV.
Epr7oRs Union AND AMERICAN The candidates
fer eector in the fourth Congressional district spoke
at this place on yesterday. The crowd was large
and a good deal of interest was manifested by the
people to hear the great questions discussed tha'
now distract the country.
Thomas B. MURRAY the elector on the bKEcKlN-
RIDGE and LANE ticket, had the opening speech For
one bour and half Re held the assembled multitude
smell bound. The biting sarcasms and scathinS re-
bnkes he administered to the JOHN BELL leaders for
trying to gull the honest yeomanry of the country
into the support of the Union candidates, and in the
event of no election before the people, hand them
over into the arms of Black Republcanism wiz
long be remembered by those who heard IT, Ills
whole speech throughout was one that the Demo
Gratis of the fourth district may well be proud OF.
S. S. STANTON the BELL elector, is as able debater
as they have on their ticket but facts are stubborn
things His candidates records are so bad. and
Mr. MURRAY holds them up plain before the people,
in all their naked deformty that he has, BELL like,
to seek safety under the constitution, the union,
and the laws. The last canvas he made up here,
the compensation bill about the only thing
talked about 1t had got to be so common between
him and STOKES when the gallant SAVAGE was de-
capitated that all the animal creation became IA
mlIiar with it. and of a still evening you could
scarcely hear any other sound coming from the trees
the ponds, and the creeks, except compensation
q" compensation" " compensation" Now their tunes
are altered.
Mr.. STANTON takes up about half his time lament
ing over the split in the Democratic party, and in
defence of DOUGLAS the regular nominee 1t Is hard
to tell which he prefers elected BELL or DOUGLAS.
goodly portion of the other half was consumed
in denouncing YANcEY RHETT and DAVIS as disunion-
ists and the Democratic party generally as tending
that way But not a word of abuse was he heard
to utter against ABE LINCOLN or his party, whose
hands are now reeking with the blood of native
Virginians, and whose incendiary torch is lay
lug waste the villages of Texas. II 1t were not
known beforehand, you could not tell from his
speech that there were any person in the field ex
cent BELL DOUGLAS and IANCEY.
Let me assure you that the Democracy of
Jackson county were never more firmly united
than at the present time although we have travelling
Bel missionaries canvassing the county and writing
letters 10 the Banner about changes taking place.
You nav rest assured that whenever you hear of a
Democrat from Jackson county going to vote for =
JoHy BELL, he has been imported from another
county. and my honest opinion now is, from what |
have seen, that they viii have to put green specks
on a great many of their own party to keep them !
from voting for BRECKINRlDGE and LANE

now called upon to give to his conduct the highest
evidence of their approval and applause by elevatng
him to the Presidency of the United States. Rather
than be embarrassed with interrOgatories from the
public relative to his position upon the various ques-
tons that may come up this canvass all inquiring
persons referred to his past history connected
with the public service and his authorized organ has
added that from the facts thus aseertained he "has
nothing to add and nothing to take away" Weshall
whether Mr.. BELL and his friends sincere in
their willingness to have this investigation. We pre-
dict they will be as industrious to dscredt these ex
posures of his real positions, they have been ba
tant in their professions of readiness to have them
investigated Let the public note this.

says:
"Hon. c. N. Conrad, Secretary of War under Presi-
dent Fillmore, is at Washington, endeavorins to eff
feet union of the Bell and Douglas interests, so
thEt only single ticket shall be run"
correspondent of the Patriot from YOrkville,
Gibson county speaking of the state of parties there
says: The DOUGLAS men are in the majority, and
they say if it is shown that DOUGLAS has no chance,
they will 60 for BELL as the only way to save the
Union" &c. We do not profess to be gifted with
thespirit of prophecy, but, Democrats we have told
you from the first that the DOUGLAS leaders would
endeavor to sell you to JOHN BELL

The PATRIOT AND JOHN BELL--It will be remem-
bered that the Patriot during the Kansas-Lecompton
struggle being then regarded the organ Ofthe ZoI
GOLFER wing ofthe Oppostionin this district ably and
zealously insisted upon the admission of Kansas
State under the Lecompton constitution. Mr.. BELL
ably, as zealously, and more successfully resisted
the admission. During that struggle the Jupiter
Tomas o. the Patriot used the following language,
portion of which we emphasize
whatever may be said to the contrary the gravamen
of the objection TO the admission of Kansas Is that
the Black Republicans did not have the formation OF
its constitution and that the formed tOerUeS
and protects SIdUery There is not UOice IN ALL THE
OPPOSITION lohich lUod be raised against the co7sti
tuition Il had prohibited SldUerg and the Black; RepJ-
EcalS could haze gljded into lgdspded potcsr under its
operation"
When we take into consideration the fact that ar.
BELL was ONE OF THE OPPOSITION that opposed the dd-
mission Of EiaSdS under the Lec0mptOH constitution,
and that the Patriot is now earnestly advocating the
election of Mr.. BELL to the Presidency, we must
conclude that the Patriot prays, like FMsTAFF, that
its friends may have long purses and short memo

NORTH CAROLINA EiECrION.-The Richmond Eagui-
rer has letter from Raleigh which, speaking of
the late election in North Carolina says:
National politics have not been discussed in
this contest. What Is commonly called here adj 20
loren has been the sole issue For the benefit of
your readers | will explain. Our Constitution has
this provision:
"Capitauon tax shall be equal throughout the
State upon all individuals subject to the same al
free males over the age of twenty years. and I'M
der the age of forty five years and all Ues over the
age of twelve years and under the age of fifty years
shall be subject to the capitatOn tax, and no other
person shall be subject to such tax provided that
nothing herein contained shall prevent exemptions
Of taxable polls as heretofore prescribed by law in
cases of bodily iGfirmity.
"A little more than two years ago movement
made IN Raleigh and Wake county by a few in
dividuas, to have this article in the Constitution
altered to empower tie Legislature to tax all
slaves according to value, and not by poll tax only
upon those between the age OF twelve and fittv as
now provided.
" The subject brought before the last Legis-
lature by Mr.. Bledsoe, but met with no favor from
either party. At their last Convention, however
the Opposition party made such provision part
of their platform. The Democratic party on the
contrary, in their platform, opposed it. Upon this
est one we have had in this State for MANY Years
The question has been disturbing one. breaking up
to some extent old party affnities. The vote has
been much the largest ever cast in the State
Large gains have been made by the Opposition

The nl.souri Election.

Every day brings more convincing proof that all
the elements of Opposition, North and South, East
and West" are using every exertion to defeat the
Democracy. We have already noticed the fact that
the Black Republican candidate for Governor ip
Missouri threw his entire strength in favor OF his
Know Nothing opponent Hear Whist HORACE
GREELEY says on the subject in his paper of the
10th:
Unless the telegraph shall bring us disagreeable
news before this sheet reaches the press. we shall
rest in the hope that Judge Sample Orr (Union) has
been chosen Governor of Missouri The vote Will
be close between him and Claiborne F. Jackson,
Irregular Dem.) but the chances we write. are IN
ms favor The vote for Hancock Jackson (started at
tie eleventh hour as n Breckenridge man, but not
supported by Senator Green and other leading sup
porters of Brecknridgel is very light and that OF
James B. Gardenhire (Repub) but little greater.
When it became evident that the race would be close
between c. f. Jackson and Orr, Mr.. Gardenhlre
wrote and published the following letter:
JKFTERsoS CRY, No., JAY 49, 1860

meeting said to have been held in Winchester, some
weeks ago, at which heavy delegation was ap-
pointed to the late DOUGLAS State Convention. Our
friend says THE heavy delegation spoken of in that
article consisted of three four men, one of them
a Whig Know-Nothing and citizen of another county
think there are in Franklin county at this time

to vote for BRECKNRIDGE they live to the day of
