THE ELECTION.


Tho Democratic papers of tue coun-

brought forth some half.starvcd and
very .nxious-looking ROSTERS, preceded
aud aanked by large capitals, to an

in Pennsylvania, Obi, aud Iowa. The
local politicians shouted themselves
aoarse over reports Of majorities for

Later and more correct returns have
materially changed the aspect of affairs.
The ROSTERS have been put by, while

Amusing.-.An LII. d.

We learn from our copy of the Sentinel
that Davidson College has conferred the de-
gree of LII. D. upon Gov. z. B. Vance.
This is Titania putting flowers in the ears
of Bottom.
We venture to say that this new LII. D.
can not read his own diploma in the Latin
tongue. He has little if any claim to
scholarship of any sort. He is not yet self
educated, nor has he been educated by any
forcing process. He was three sessions at
Chapel Hill as an irregular. He studied
none Of the classics while there, nor has he
done so since. He has read law, but his
practice has BEG very limited. He has
gained his evanescent reputation merely as
an agreeable and successful joker. He would
cut but a poor figure before the Supreme
Court, where anecdotes and tomfoolery
would be very much nut of place.
The comforting of this degree will not ben
eft Gov. Vance, while it will injure the rep
utation of the College for learning and knowl-
edge.
There are but two imaginable qualiica-
tions that doubtless weighed with this pro-
found institution of learning in comforting
this degree. The rebel Governor is, as he
calls himself, Presbyterian-th citizens
here know well enough how devout one,
and he has been quite pious and devoted
&C secessionist' since the Fall of 1863
If these two reasons are cogent and appro-
pirate for the degree of Leguna Doctor, Zeb
most assuredly is fit subject.
If there are other reasons that weighed
with that august Academic Board, they
ought to be known.

carving Deadly Weanons.

We learn that leading Republican in
this State, who has been insulted in public
| company on account of his principles and
his life threatened, has asked permission to
carry weapons in self defence, and been re-
fused. We learn also that there are enemies
of the government who carry deadly weap-
ons. We have heard of one impudent Ten
nessee traitor in this City, who boasts that
he carries his Derringer. We know that a
Republican meeting in Wilkesborough, in
this State. was recently disturbed by armed
rebels, and that the latter amused themselves
for while by cutting and beating loyal
Union men of both races We have not
heard that any arrests have been made.
It is also notorious that the police officers
of this State, large majority of whom are
enemies to the government of the United
States, are permitted to carry deadly wea-
pons and lord it over Republicans, who are
unarmed. We know also that persons who
own land are allowed to carry guns and
hunt upon their own land, and it follows
that those who own no land are not permit
ted to carry guns.
We merely state what we believe to be
facts. Comment might be both useless and
imprudent.
The remedy for all this, and for many
wrongs of a grievous character, is to take
the State back to the Union on a loyal basis.
This purpose on the part of our 10y
al people can not be defeated, no matter
who may help or hinder. 1t is going to be
done. If any of the military in District No. 2
are disposed to defer more to Andrew johnson
than to the Congress, let them do it. We
must get along without them. 1t may be,
as in the case of Gen. Gates, of revolutionary
memory, that their Northern laurels will
degenerate into Southern willows" If so,
so be it. We know but one path of duty,
and that is of paramount devotion to the
nation, and a fixed purpose to restore the
State to the Union. We have experienced
hotter times than these. We did not hest
tate to stay here and assail Jefferson Davis
in the height of his power, and labor to pull
down the horrible despotism which he had
set up over this people; and we shall not
hesitate in future, when the rights of Union
men and the cause of the Union itself are ig-
nored or placed in peril.

MEssRs. EDITORS Il have by accident
picked up, at the room of friend, copy
of a rebel sheet published in the city of Ra-
leigh, and dated July 18th, 1851. Inc 1ol-
lowing paragraph attracts my notice.:
"The fourth Of July orator at Elizabeth
CITY (who we will guarantee is a candidate
for something went a bow-shot beyond any
of his contemporary glorifers" In euloglZlng
Mr.. Lincoln" &c.
had supposed that old Bro. Pell had
consented some time ago to repent and be-
come good man. The hearts of some OF
your correspondents were touched about the
date of his recent affection, and they with
draw their fire, supposing that just vista
ton of Divine Providence would serve as a
warning and lead him to consider and amend
his ways But as it seems to have failed,
they may find it necessary to deal with him
again, and a little more severely.
Do you suppose he has any such great ven
Grafton for the character of George Washing
ton as to be troubled at his disparagement?
His heart was wandering, when he wrote,
after the gods of the Confederacy. Suppose
the name of Jeff Davis had been used where
that of President Lincoln was, would Bro.
Pell and his readers have been displeased!
No one is likely to convince our people OF
the sincerity of his attachment to the g faith
er of our country" while he manifestly hates
the national government, dishonors the ma
tional birth-day, and so far as he dare, fouts
the national flag. What right have they
who sought to destroy the country of Wash
ington-who at heart detest the nation
whom his valor, and skill and goodness
tablished-who riddled with bullets on the
battle field, the flag beneath whose folds
Washington and his brave compatriots
fought-what right have they thus sacrileg-
iously to mention his name9 There is not
q foreign nation, but that loves the flag and
country of Washington more than Bro. Pell
and his political school. 1t is truly refresh
ing to hear brazen-faced traitors pirate of
and patriotism
The name and memory of Washington
will always be revered by the true and loyal
of this country. For his many sterling traits
of character, he stands peerless upon the
pages of history. Washington fought to Sc
cure the liberties of his own countrymen,
and to maintain the principle that all men
are created free and endowed with the ina
lienable right of liberty. Jeff Davis and his
followers denied the principle and fought to
fasten the chains of slavery on millions
Abraham Lincoln will be forever honored
and loved by the good and true friends of
human llDerty LOT Ills ulselHsnnesS III Dreak-
ing off the shackles that bound race-not
of his own color and blood, as in the case of
Washington-but wn-trodden and help
less race, and in ushering them into light
and freedom.
1t was no love for Washington, but hatred
for Lincoln and the government, an oppor-
tunity to let off a little rebel steam and a
personal pique, that caused Bro. Pell to pen
that paragraph. Not that love Cezar more,
but that | love Rome less. NJ.

Mr.. James HI. Harris.

The speech of Mr.. James H. Harris, al
WarrentoH, on Saturday last, is spoken of in
high terms of praise. A friend who was
present informs us that the speech has been
of great service to the people of both races
in Warren. Our correspondent assures us
that Warren will go with the Republicans
by large majority.
We learn that Mr.. Harris will address the
people at Oxford on the 9th of August-at
Lexington on the Shat Salem on the 18th
and at Piedmont Springs, Stokes, on
the 18th.
There are calls in all parts of the State
for this distinguished colored speaker. We
are authorized to state that during the
months of September, October, and Novem-
Der he will visit the Eastern part of the
State and address the people. Timely no
tice will be given of his appointments.

The Convention of the Union Republican
party of North Carolina which meets in this

portant ever held in this State. We hope
and have every reason to believe that the
party will be fully organized at this Con-
vention and our best and purest men selected
as its leaders and directors.-Register.
We concur with the Register. The Re-
publican party of the State now has an ex-
cellent organization, as the result of the
9th of March Convention, but this organi-
zation may be rendered more efficient. This
is the object, as we understand it, of the
proposed Convention, which, we have no
doubt, will be harmonious body. Good
and able men should be selected at all times
to carry out the principles of the party, but
the people who compose the party should
be " its leaders and directors" Public men
who serve the party are simply its expo
nents. If the people are not with them
they can do nothing.
