Fifth Congressional District.

On Tuesday last j. ii. Gooch, Esq, OF Oran-
ville and Josiah Turner Jr., Esq, of Orange, can
didates for Congress this District addressed the
people at the Courthouse in this place.
We forbear an attempt to report the remarks of
these gentlemen, lest we might do them injustice.
They both manifested strong attachment to the
Confederate government, and pledged themselves,
if elected, to urge and vote for vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war.
The Hon. A. II. Arlington, of Nash, who is also
candidate, was prevented from being present on
Tuesday by ndisposition. He arrived, however, on
Tuesday evening, and would have addressed the
people on Wednesday, but for the fact that the
weather was unpropitous and the Courthouse was
occupied with some important trials
Mr.. Gooch was formerly the Sheriff of Granville
and is gentleman of character and sound common
sense.
Mr.. Turner has served the people of Orange in
both branches of the Legislature and is at present
the commander of cavalry company from Orange.
As soon as the war commenced he repaired to Fort
Macon, and remained there for some time as pr-
vate in the ranks. He is young of fine talents
and speaks with force and effect.
Mr.. Arlington vas representative in Congress
under the old government and has had much expe-
rience public man. He is at present member
of the State Convention, to which position he was
unanimously called by the people of Nash He has
been for number of years in private life, engaged
IN his business as a farmer. He is a man of excel
lent Judgment, good speaker, and well posted in
public affairs
Indeed, all three of them are clever and worthy
gentlemen and it is for the people of the District to
decide between them. OF Mr.. Venable we say
nothing, because, though understood by his friends
to be candidate he is not in the canvass in the
District
Our columns are open to the candidates, and we
will cheerfully publish such circulars and appoint
menS they may wish us to lay before our readers.
ALIEN ENENIEs-It appears that the recent alien
law of Congress, has led to the discovery of large
number Of persons still residing in the South, whose
sympathies were with the North Nearly 800 per-
Sons found of that class in Richmond who left
under the law, but who remained to the last mo-
ment. The folly of allowing such persons to leave
at so late period, must be apparent Such persons
go North with full knowledge of our forces, forti-
hcations and plans, taking with them the large
amount of money they have accumulated among us,
to be employed in opposing and subiugatng MS, if
possible Parties from this State have been refused
passports for some time, and under the late law of
The Legislature natives ofthe State who were North,
are expatrated who do not return in the next TWEEN
tydays.

But what have we of the West in common with
the East when honors and emouments are to be
melted out? Both Senators are from the East and
were lobbying in and about the Capitol, while Mr.
Clingman drilling his regiment at Asheville,
waiting orders to narch.-KouatGiR Eagle.
The Eagle is totally mistaken Mr.. Davis, one of
the Senators elect, was not in Raleigh while the
election was pending; and Mr.. Dortch, the other
Senator elect necessarily here Speaker of the
Commons. But he did no lobbying" Nor was
Mr.. Clngman "drlling his regiment at Ashevie."
He was here, evidently very anxious about the re-
suits of the ballots and doing what he could Sc
cure his election. Mr.. Avery was here also,
and he electioneered with earnestness which was
the subject of common remark.
The Eagle complains that both Senators were
taken from the East and the Asheville Necs raises
the same cry for party effect The answer is, Gov.
Reid was Governor four years and Senator four
years. and he is a Western man. Gov. Ellis was
Governor for two terms (havlng died during his Sc
cond term,) and he was Western man. Mr.. Cling
Senator for several years, and he is a Wes-
tern man. Mr.. Avery is now one of the State dele
gates to the Congress at Richmond, and he is Wes-
tern mar. But, says the NeUs, the East has the
Governor also True enough, the East has act
ing Governor, but this Is so by the act of Provi-
dence. If Mr.. Avery had remained in the Senate he
would no doubt have continued to be Speaker, and
would have been now the Governor instead of Gov.
Clark. So the Netos has fallen out both with its
Eastern brethren and with Providence. We may
notice the article of that paper more at length in
our next
The truth is, but for the tenacty with which
MeSsrs. Avery and Clingman held on to the coveted
honor Senator from the West would have been
elected They defeated the effort to elect Western
man, first, by electng Mr. Davis, in the hope that
that would ensure success to one of them and Sc
condly by the assumption on their part in holding
on, that they were the only Western men from whom
a choice should be made. These remarks apply
especially to Mr.. Avery, for Mr. ClingmaE already
occupied the place of Senator under the old govern
ment This should have given him more consider
alton than Mr. Avery. In addition to this he had
more friends than Mr.. Avery, and is man of more
character and ability. As it was, Mr.. Avery EN-
barrassed the claims of Mr.. Clingman, who might
otherwise have been elected
We repeat, this cry about the East and West is
selfish in its character. 1t is the work of demago
gues who care nothing for the people but only for
themselves. 1t is the same spirit of sectiOnalism
which destroyed the old Union and plunged the
country in civil war. We hear no cry of the North
against the South of the South against the North
in this State 1t is all East and Vest. We warn
the different sections of the State against those who
are stirring up strife between brethren. Such men
are bad men. Put mark upon them, fellow-citi-
zens, and vote them down every chance you get.

The western Counties.

The doubts which some evil surmising persons
have INDUCED in regard to the loyalty and genuine
Southern feeling of the population of our Western
Counties, have been most signaliy rebuked and re-
futed by the almost universal uprising and out
pouring of their thousands of brave soldiers, who
have rallied to the cause of the South, In no part
OF the State has the patriotism of the people burned
with greater ardor than in the West No where is
there more determined purpose to resist to the
last extremity, the unbridled tyranny and despot-
Ism of Lincoln
In the Counties bordering on Tennessee, where
there are but few slaves, and where was supposed
to exist by those evil surmisers, strong sympathes
for the old Union the patriotism of the people, is
if possible, more fervid than elsewhere. Thousands
of their brave men are in the field and thousands
more stand ready to to the call of the coun-
try. Nor have our Western brethren been choice
as to what point of danger or Guty their services
were demanded. Whether IN the malaria of the
lowlands of this State, or Virginia at Yorktown, at
Manassas or in the Valley, they have gone with
ready will to beat back our foe at all points.
Our Eastern people hail with enthusiasm as breth-
rem our western soldiers in Col. Clingman's, Col
Campbelrs, Col. Lanes and other regiments, who
have gone to their assistance Nor can they ever
forget them. But we were hardly prepared, after
such an outpouring from. the West to hear of the
formation of another regiment at Ashevile, soon
after the fine regiment commanded by Col Cling
man left, as the Asheville NeUs speaks of. From
that paper we learn that on the 25th ult, the 2Sth
regiment, or more properly the 18th regiment N
c. Volunteers, was organized by the election of
Robert B. Vance, of Buncombe, Colonel; VIM. c.
Walker, of Cherokee, Lieut.. Colonel; and j. B.
Gardiner, of Yancey, Major These are admirable
selections we doubt not This regiment is COM
posed of men entirely from the west of the Blue
Ridge And yet we hear that another regiment is
about to be formed at Jefferson, in Ashe County.
We have heard it sometimes said that a draft will
yet have to be made in North Carolina. We have
steadily believed otherwise; but if So it must be
from some few of the Eastern and Middle Counties,
but no. from the West.
