Among the States, the electoral votes OF
which amounts to one hundred and fifty
nine, just enough to secure an election,
which he says there should be no doubt of
General GRANTS carrying, he includes
New Hampshire, West Virginia, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Missouri and North Carroll
ma, casting seventy votes, which are more
certain for SEYMOUR and BLAIR than for
GRANT and CoLFAx. "Ohio and West
Virginia" he says. ''are desperately con-
"tested and, while we have most votes
"in each, our adversaries seem for the pre-
"sent to have the best workers" ''Men
"and Brethren" he appeals, "we must
"carry Connecticut, New York, New Jer-
"sey and Pennsylvania for GRANT and
s. CoLFAx. With these, Or even half of
them-there can be no mistake as to the
"result. Without at least ttoo Of them, all is
50 doubt"
He closes his significant warning and
exhortation to his over confident party
friends as follows:
"Our friends seem to be almost everywhere
resting in the conviction that Gen. Grant cannot
possibly be beaten. This is at untrue and
peIilous, He not only can but will be beaten,
less the Republicans aoork aoUh more energy and
efficiency than they haze thus far dons.'
We have much, indeed, to cheer us on
in this election. Our friends at the North
ask us, in order to make assurance doub-
ly sure" to give the vote of Southern
State to SEYMOUR and BLAIR. North Car
o]inians ! let it be our proud lot, as it was
first to bring the name of our gallant STAN
dard-bearer prominently forward in the
nominating Convention, to secure his cleo
ton beyond peradventure. If the nine
votes of North Carolina are given for SEY-
MoUR and BLAIR, their election is certain.
It can, and it must, be done.

sense of the word. We have made no eff
fort because it was useless. What cared
Abbott and Estes Tor the welfare of our
city. The interests of Wilmington was
not part of the consideration which in
duced them to become candidates for the
Legislature, and their love for North Caro-
lima extends only to the limits of their per-
sonal aggrandizement And we ask, is
Charleston more favored Will her dele
cation lift up their voices against this effort
to destroy her commerce
We have but one consolation in connec-
ton with this subject. What are these
bonds worth Railroads can hardly be
built by sums Gin buckram." The Legis-
lature of the State has authorized the in
crease of the public debt by eight or ten
millions of dollars Will not these bonds,
issued by such doubtful authority and I'M
der the present condition of affairs, be val
ueless And if not, will not their issue
and sale render the whole debt unsafe :?
Does any one suppose the people of North
Carolina will be taxed to pay the extrava-
gances and corruptions of the mendicant
strangers who are voting away her sub
stance and burdening her people beyond
reasonable endurance ? These are ques-
tons not only for the consideration of the
purchasers of the new bonds, but for the
holders of the old.

appointments of he Baltimore Conference for
the present year, published in our columns
last week, has been removed from this circuit
to Pocahonias cou nty, W. Va. As in the econ
omy of the itinerant system of the NJ f.
Church, the preachers may be assigned such
heids OF labor as may seem expedient and
proper to the appointing authority, the minis
ters generally resign themselves to the ncon-
venences incident to such removals with all
possible submissiveness and grace. Willis,
the propriety OF such changes. in these times of
peculiarly embarrassment and social Dispute
tude, may be doubted by some. with some
show of justice, it is not our province to dis
cuss the question in connection with the pres
cnt case. We cannot forbear, as simple
act of justice to MIR Hyde, 10 say that he vas
not removed from our midst on account of
any failure on his part to discharge faithfully
and zealously his high and responsible trust
as pastor among us. On the contrary, it is
we'll known that his labors on this circuit have
been as success III as the most sanguiue could
have anticipated under the circumstances
There have been additions to the church at all
the appointments On the circuit and he h4d
adoed new appointments, IN compliance with
the Solicitations OF th> citizens in various parts
of his charge where none existed BEFORE
These facts attest tie high est imaton in which
our former pastor was hedby the citizens of our
community generally. In what we have said
reiaiive 10 Mr.. Hyde. We do not by any means
wish 10 be understood lis dspaI ging the char

greatly esteemed tot the faithful manner in
which he discharged his duties.
