Fur Position

N
,;.,o n,sctice is better than great deal
=, 49, We will try to give a practical illus
VI 80 chr position. There are three gentlemen
49, os candidates for the sheritalty of our county,
Co. HALL, Major MCRAE and Captain BUNTING
Tbey are ell oliver gentlemen, good Confederate Cit
izars-good soldiers.
There are several gentlemen named as candidates for
the Legislature for the House of CommonT we think
we are not that anybody has offered for the Sen
cite il opposition to Mr.. HALL.
Now, among these candidates there are gentlemen,
Who under the old regime did not 60 with US political
w. but there is not brought before the people
of New Hanover by himself or by bis friends whom we
do not know to be perfectly true to the cause of the
Contederacy. No Holdenites, co Boydenites-on the
contrary, Souhernmen that qualification is under
stooi among the true men of New Hanover and all
other counties who SO undeTs and it.
10 reference to these gentlem ca, we take and We
do take part based upon party action before the pre-
sent issue They ali etand upon the platform
that We 90. Should any come out calling him3el
q Conservative or flying any other party banner
we would feel ourselves bound to oppose him. OF
course opposition would 60 for What it might b.
worth. This is no tina for such things.
We certainly claim no tight to dictate we hardly
assume tie power to advise We think, however, that
We have right 10 say this much We have come to
the conclusion that under exiting circumstances, it is
duty TO vote for Gov. VANCE, aud shall vote
Did have tie fixing of things, would elect to the
Legislature no MAJ who proclaimed himself party
Conservative indeed any other party man.
We would elect 10 whose only principle was OF
position to the Confederate Administration and whose
only Shiboieth abjurgatiOn against JEFF.
DAVIS We would go for those whose course had shown
that they possessed the ability and tie qUIl
to sustain the South in her present struggle. Wiki
out the obl,, the wW is mott ing without the sgHl
the ability is worse than nothing.
We thus show how much apart we are from mere
partyism, and We make 70 concealmant Of the fact
that as we reg;Ed tie political oganz .tion known
the Conse rva:Ye Party" a party organiza-
tion for partizan purposes, much respect very
many gentlemen who have baen drawn into it, we still
wish to see the organizeto1 defeated and broken up
w. v. Holden s doing good service il that line.

Strength in Union.

The following sensible remarks upon
the absolute necessity of maintaining the
Union, at whatever apparent cost. we find
going the rounds in the shape Of an I'M
credited extract:
The union OF al the States is now being
commended for on the bloodiest battle-heldS
that history has recorded. This union is be-
ing thus contested because the great mass Of
Ihe American people believe that such a union
is the only safeguard our nation can have
against the assaults o. foreign enemies.
When those enemies desire to accomplish the
destruction Of our Iree form OF government,
divisions among ourselves would be the most
favorable Circumstance possible TO aid them
in their designs. Hence il is that thousands
Of our citizens are giving their lives for the
preservation Of our national unity.
Now We contend that the Union party is
organized on the same principles and for
similar purpose. There was more than one
party in our country at the breaking out OF
This rebellion in favor Of its suppression, but
al SPACIOUS men saw at once and believed
with Douglas, that but two great parties could
exist in our country during the progress of an
armed instruction, one for the government,
the other against it. In shis beliefthe Union
party was organized BY patriotic men Of all
shades in politics.
The point we desire 10 make is, if personal
and party prejudices were thus abandoned in
the Organization of our party, should they be
raked up at this late hour in its history: In
short, should any sectional or personal con-
sideratious, lead any of our journals or polit-
zeal leaders to take steps that will create
divisions in the Union party: At this time,
more than at any other, union is necessary
element Of strength of which we should not
De deprived. Our enemies are inscriptions.
They practiced the most shameless frauds IN
the late election in Nevada; they have re-
ceived large accessions to their numbers IN
California By an immigration Of bush-whack-
ing, secession sympathizers from the border
States, and the history Of several Of our sister
States teaches US that in order to maintain
;he supremacy of law and order, and preserve
our State from the seourge Of guerrilla war
fare, Union men must stand together. Let
all who have desire for the peace Of our own
section and the preservation Of the National
Union remember the motto strength only
in union"

IScoNsIsrBNT.-The Democratic party car
ried the greater portion Of the Southern States
in 1860, and every State which it carried in
1860, it carried into rebellion in 1851, except
New Jersey. And yet there are some mem
bers Of this party-of the party which elected
James Buchanan and sustained his admins
tration while it plotted and accomplished re-
bellion and disunion-who propose 10 put this
party in power again in order to save the
Union. This is probably on the principle
that the party who broke the Union in twain
know best how to mend the rent they have
made. But what object has a party which
1855! They proclaim the Independence and
the sovereignty Of the States, and the uncon.
stitutionality OF coercion, a. cardinal prinei-
pies Of the party, and these principles, are
utterly Inconsistent With the restoration Of
the Union.

Stock Sales.
Gaork RenlarLkH,

The following is the stock" article Of last
Saturdays argus:
The "bears" are at work; and well they
do it. Gould & Curry and Ophir have sPe-
cially suffered from their attention, while the
Moscow appears unbearable. But 4 brisk
business was done in the morning Board 7;
and at the risk OF being charged with optim-
ism, we cling to our opinion that for the
present no relapse into the late critical state
need be apprehended. Many stocks, besides
those named in our record Of sales, are now
fayorablv mentioned, attesting growing IN,
terest in investments Of this nature and
much spare cash. When the "bears" are
satisfied and retire to growl over their prey,
freer vent will be given to all really sound
| enterprises, and the market will be buoyant
as in the good old times.
From Gold Hill we hear favorable men
ton Of Imperial, borne out indeed by its stea-
dy remittances. Yellow Jacket is noticeable
, for its good prospects and increasing yield Of
pay ore. Crown Point has abundance of ore
in view, promising highly; and Belcher may
! be expected to do wonders-when the water
| is pumped out.
| The salient features of Dauey at this mo-
| ment are as follows: An enormous vein, a
handsome quantity Of water, little ore and
! a great deal of bad management both in mine
and mill. They who beard this stock lately,
with view to easy investment and rapid
reaction, can hardly feel very we'll satisfied
! with their investments. l'..
1t is doubtless owing to the careful and
close management of Ophir that the stock
has risen so highly. The next great economy
contemplated is the shutting up of the explo-
siye establishment known as "the Ophir
Works." Whether the remittances Of bull
lion is to be effected by this measure remains
TO be seen.
| There was not much activity in the after
noon Board, but the direction Of business was
all in the right direction. Gould & Curry is
decidedly frmer, 0phir about the same, Bal.
tic rising, and Wide West looking up; Over
man is again in request, and Sheba and Jus
tiee fully sustain former rates; Uncle Sam is
also on the move. .L"

\ BIG BET.-General Clay Smith, Of
Kentucky, offers to bet half million Of
dollars that President Lincoln will be re-
elected; and he also offers to put up fifty
thousand dollars as O forfeit if the half
million is not put up before the election.
The Democrats can't come up TO the
scratch, however, to take the bet. If that
amount could be raised in the party, they
have not the confidence 10 bet it. as its
loss would certainly "bust" out what
there IS left of the Democracy.

Gently u member of the California Assembly

nomination. An intelligent, eloquent, truly
loyal Irishman, he can be relied upon TO per-
form his duty ably and faithfully.
