The Cause OF the Dem &C ratio Defeat

Never did the Democrats more distinguish
themselves as "A party organization than yester-
day. Never did the individuals of the great Ma
tional party exhibit more energy and more cour-
age than Yesterday. The only Union party
in the land has now made its mark. and the
vote which it polled is indicative OF its future
triumph
We feel satisfied that Mr. Seward, who is
shrewd politician. will not regard the temporary
abolition triumph as a sufficient guarantee for
him To sanction anv OF the extreme measures
which have been forced ON the President by the
destructive radicals How does the case standl
The Democrats, without Office, with scanty funds
owing to the prostration OF all branches of bust
ness, brought about by the blgOts and fanatics
were compelled To battle against demagogues who
used Government money rs literally and easily as
paper money can be Manufactured and Yet il now
appears that there are more than 30 900 good and
true men in Philadelphia "who have not bowed
the knee TO Baal, aud who are ready at all times
Ia peril fortune and life to sustain the Union, and
protect the Constitution against the assaults of It's
open enemies. and the still more dangerous
attacks of its weak headed false hearted pretend
ed friends Never will the people forget the
"reign of terror through which men, who ought
To be free voters, have passed during the last pO
litical campaign. We hazard nothing in saying
that at least five thousand Democrats voted yes
terday under duress, who, had they been I'M
trammeled by the most deSpicable espionage
who, had not their business been destroyed by the
civil war, would not have been tempted TO accept
patronage At the hands OF men they desplse, and
would have voted. amOre, the whole Demo
cratic ticket. We 0pihe that the Abolitonists
and Their tools will not dare to carry a high
head" in view of their basely purchased political
victory. Ii one OF those things which neither
warrants pride NOT insures safety.
Let Us look at it moment and IL will be seen
that the defeat OF the Democratic ticket is the
overthrow OF the Abolition party
Take away from the Abolitionists their mask
ed batteries, behind which they fought the true
Union men, ana will Mr. Lincoln decide shat
would have been the fate OF his pretended
friends

out which no warfare could be waCed. See the

the vote cast yesterday against the Democratic

Penn.yIvania Election.

The returns from Pennsylvania indicate Dem
ocralic triumph Outside Of Philadelphia. n al
most every county. there are large Democratic
gains. II Is probable that sixteen Democratic
Congressman. two thirds of the Representatives
from that State, have been elected, and that the
Democratic State ticket has carried by a
handsome majority The lower House is prob
ably Democratic. Nine Democratic Representa-
tives are elected from Philadelphia. This is
doing well for Republican State.

Commendabln LiheraIitr.

A friend in Caldwell County writes US that at the
Superior Court Of that County, recently held, ma
joriy of the Magistrates being present appropri-
alton was made for INDECENT families of soldiers
and that Gen. Samuel F. Patterson in behalf of the
Patterson Cotton Factory and Tannery, contributed
to the soldiers families 100 punches of spun cotton,
and the General himself agreed to furnish 100 BUSH
els Of meal at the very reduced price of 70 cents
per bushel We are also assured that the Tannery
with which Gen. Patterson is connected, has never
sold sole leather at higher rate than 81 per pound
other leather in proportion, and that many wo-
men and children in the County indebted to this
Tannery for shoes.
We record such examples as these with much
pleasure. They are "good deeds in a naughty
world" which shine out in all directions, encouraging
others to go and do likewise If every person in
the State who has the means to be benevolent would
use them as Gen. Patterson is using his, much suf.
fering among the poor would be averted, and the
cause of independence would be greatly strength
ened.

Manufacrurers' Convention.

We publish to-day the proceedings of the Conven-
ton of Manufacturers held in Greensborough on the
Sd instant. A large majority of the manufacturers
were in attendance, and it will be seen that they
have agreed to make such reductions in their prices
as will be satisfactory to the public And now that
the manufacturers of wooden and cotton goods have
agreed to take what under the circumstances, may
be regarded as reasonable prices, is it not the duty
OF the farmers to meet them half way, and also re-
duce, as far as they can, the prices of meat and
Dread! We think it is, and we feel sure that this
action OF the manufacturers will be appreciated and
rcciprocated by the farmers
This action Of the manufacturers is due, in great
degree, to Coy. Vance, and to the ptompt coopera-
ton with him of DIR. Thomas D. Hogg and the Fay
ettevlle factories 1t is one of the most useful if
not the most useful act of the Governors public life
The people of the State brave soldiers and their
families, and especially the women, will thank him

strengthen the Southern cause.
We entertain proper respect for Gov. Morehead,
ana we would say nothing that would be calculated
70 do him or others injustice in. the slightest re-
SPect; but we cannot help expressing our regret
that ne left Greensborough and failed to attend the
convention of manufacturers referred to. Surely,
the other manufacturers of the State are satisfied

with profit of this, however, you must judge.
need scarcely say that there has been nN time
since the opening of the war, when more excite
mept prevailed in this city than for the last few
days. conviction has settled upon all minds, that
are soon to have stirring times below US, and all
around us. 1t has been pretty clearly ascertained
that the programme of the enemy is to attack Rich
mond from three or four points simultaneously.
The grand army will move on Fredericksburg, or
along the Rappahannock, while another column will
try the old Peninsula route; third will try the
route from Suffolk to Petersburg, and at the same
time the forces on the coast of North Carolina will
march on Weldon, or some point between Weldon
and Wilmington. This general move will be Sec
onded by the gunboats, which may come up the
James River towards this city, and up the Cape
Fear towards Wilmington. This may seem too
large scheme for man with no more brains than
Halleck but this is the information which has
reached US from beyond the lines. cannot for a
moment believe that any better success will attend
our enemies in their ION to Richmond" now than
heretofore, and mark my prediction, an overthrow
of the grand army is not far distant shouldNn effort
to carry out the programme as laid down above be

the enemy all along the coast of Virginia and North

General, Attorney General &c, have been vacated
BY their incumbents accepting offices of profit and

the true constitutional and legal view upon the SUBJ

Prayers for Peace.

We have received communication from lady
friend the subject of prayers for peace on the 1st
instant We have no doubt that the applications
of thousands of earnest and stricken hearts assembled
on that day, to the Ruler of men and nations for
this great blessing Our lady correspondent con-
cludes as follows:
"AVar and pestence have already laid waste the
land and if the third scourge, famine should be
sent upon us, woo be unto usl Will not some one
volunteer to be mediator between the two contend
ing partes2 In so doing he would gain everlasting
honors The blessings Of the world would be upon
him. His path would be strewn with flowers. The
rich and the poor, the high and the low, would rise
up and call him blessed Yea, blessed are the
peace-makers'"

The Personal Liberty of the Citizen.

few days since Mr.. Afford of Wake, intro
duced in the Commons resolution inquring by
what authority the soldiers of the Confederate gov
eminent were arresting citizens on the streets of
Raleigh as conscripts, and requesting information
on the subject The resolution passed, and the
Governors answer was sent in and read to the
House We did not hear it read but understand it
stated to the House that he had given no such au-
thority to Confederate officers or soldiers. Subse-
auently Mr. Fowle Of Wake, introduced a resolu-
ton on the subject forbidding such arrests, &c
This resolution ELECTED warm discussion, in which
Messrs. Fowe, Grisson, McAden, Arnis, Waddell,
Person, Shepherd, and others took part. The res
oution finally passed, slightly modified, and was
sent to the Senate, in which hody after some dis
'cussion, it vas referred to a committee.
The whole matter was placed upon the true
ground, as we learn, by Messrs. Fowle, Grissom,
McAden, Amis, Afford, and others in the Commons,
and by Messrs. Warren, Russ Graham, and Taylor
of Chatham, in the Senate
We are surprised that any public body, having
in its keeping the personal liberty of the citizen,
should hesitate Cor moment on the subject. 1t is
well known that Gov. Vance, through the militia
officers is enforcing the conscription law and that,
therefore there can be good reason for the inter-
position of Confederate officers. But Gen. Martin,
in the plenitude of his power, has had his squads
of armed men going through our streets and into
our houses for several days past arresting citizens
whether residing here or not on the mere dssu'np-
ton that they may be deserters or conscripts and
his orders on the subject go far as to hold
citizen liable to arrest for wearing certain kind of
clothngl day or two since a member of the
House, Mr. Headen, was arrested by squad as con-
script; and one of our merchants, who is exempt
has told us that be has been arrested four five
times in and in front of his store, and required to
show his "pass." We learn, too, that the soldiers
detailed for this duty are in many instances rude
and insulting frequently pointing, when asked for
their authority, to their bayonets.
We trust the Legislature will take prompt action
on the subject and protect people'aganst these
armed bands, not only here but throughout the
State Personal liberty is G6oue all price. Our
PEOPLE WILL NOT SUBMIT TO SUCH TYRANNY ON THE
PART OF GEN. MARTIN. 1t is not only CALLING to
our people, but it is reflection on Gov. Vance,
who is himself enforcing the law.
We may refer more at length to this matter in
our next and we should have called attention to
it in our last but for the fact that Mr.. Affords in
quiry of the Governor on the subject was pending
in the House.

Gov. Vance three weeks ago in his message, urged
the immediate raising of 10000 troops for the de-
fence Of our Eastern Counties The proposition has
been endorsed throughout the State by our people,
and nothing remains but for the Legislature to pass
the bill We regret to say, that too much delay
and indecision have been manifested p this impor-
tant movement In conjunction with the press Of
the State we have urged prompt action, but as yet
nothing has been done. Fears Of conflict with
thelaws Of Congress and the Confederate authorities
have doubtless had some weight in causing this
delay We advocate no unconstitutional measure
noF are we disposed to favor any scheme which
ought legitimately to produce such conflicts. Far
from it
ton. Eastern North Carolina should be and must
be defended at all hazards. The stake is too great
both to the General Government and to North Caro-
lima, to allow it to be overrun by the enemy The
Confederate government is in duty bound to do its
utmost to defend it If, however, it is iB circum-
stances that it cannot will not provide fully for
its defence, shall the Legislature of North Carolina
stand by and see il overrun, without raising finger
to prevent iti The people throughout the State,
answer Mol
Upon the Conservatives of the General Assembly
rest the responsibility of all the action of its
present session. If they stand by and allow the
just wishes of the people to be thwarted and defeat
ed by their opponents, in any measure, upon their
heads will rest the blame. They have sufficient
majority to carry any measure the people demand.
The bill proposed by the committee on military
affairs for the raising of 5000 troops, passed. will
wholly defeat the object of the Governor and the
people Sthe State. If we need one man, we need
10000. The troops for State defence should be
raised upon the volunteer principle entirely or by
draft. The people do not want CONSUMPTION upon
eonscrptiOn, the bill from the military commit
tee provides, nor will they submit to it. .,
We are glad to see that Mr.. Cowles of Yadkin,
protests against the BILL and that Capt Grssom of
Granville has given notice of his intention to bring
in minority report Let such bill be at once
drawn up will fully meet the suggestions of
