DeiHe are the white men of Wayne aliv
r. 4bn irip0rtance of watching the ballot
boyes. they having appointed committee
for each precinct, whose duty it is, fur
nished with list of the registered voters
to stand by and check off the name of eacL
sovereign as he deposits his ballot. The
white men of Rowan are likewise organized
for the same purpose.
If we are thus vigilant throughout the
State we may prevent the imposition OF
much fraud, but unless there is kept al
unofficial record of the vote cast, the
Grandee at Charleston will swindle US out
of the election. This is the only hope now
left the Holden-negrO party, and to us 1t Is
a great disadvantage. We must, there
fore. poll our whole strength, let that fact
be not lost sight Of and we must also know
who votes against us, and how early anC
often. '-Raleigh Cor0Linian.
The Mass MEETING IN SALIsBURY.-The
Old North State gives glowing account Of
the grand Conservative rally in Salisbury
on Wednesday. 1t says:
1T was an old time gathering. And or
the platform were seen number Of honor
ed and highly respected gentlemen, Gov
Graham the most notable of them all
There were five ministers of the Gospel, re,
presenting nearly as many Evangelical de-
nominations, besides some of our most
aged and venerated citizens. National flags
displayed above them constituted the de-
coratiOn for the occasion. Gov. Graham
was introduced and proceeded to address
the people. OF course we shall not attempt
to describe his address. 1t is sufficient to
say he most ably handled the Constitution
now before the people for ratification or
rejection, proving to demonstration, that
they should unhesitatingly reject Il. He was
listened to throughout with profound at
tention, and We have no doubt many hon
est minds were relieved of doubts on this
most important subject.
Mr.. Graham concluded his speech about
2 O'Clock, and was followed in short adj
dress by our candidate for the State Sen
ate, Mr. w. NJ Robbins.
Besides reviewing portions of the Con-
stitution not touched upon by Mr.. Ora
ham, Mr.. Robbins told of what he had
seen, heard and fell since he had been out
canvassing the county He related some
ve7y rich incidents-hOW he found one of
the Radical candidates reading Rodman's
address, Jelieciag IL TO be The ne,C COnStite-
ton !; and how he surprised the poor fellow
when he showed him his mistake.
But neither will we attempt to report
Mai. Robbins speech it was strong, con-
Yincing, rich and racy.
And thus the day passed, decided sue
cess IN attendance, speeches, attention,
spirit and demonstration of opposition to
the new Constitution. Roll on the ball. :"
"PIrY THE SORROWS" &c.-The Y. ?.
c. furnishes the most signal and ludicrous
case on record of deep down abasement,
with utter failure to accomplish the pur
pose of his prOstratiOn. At the very time
that he is making himself sick in the effort
to defy the niger, the Niger worshlppers
in Congress are discussing the practicable
ity of withdrawing him from the canvass
San Salvador was nothing to this! He look
ing for a removal of his disabiities-and
the Republican Congressional Executive
Committee talking about removing I"
him! Oh dear dear what is the world
coming to
Our CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS. We are
really glad to learn that Capt. S. L. Will
Hams, the White Mans candidate for Con-
gressiOnal honors in this District, is making
such fine reputation wherever he appears.
He has already spoken at several. points
and with fine effect, From private letter
written by q gentleman to friend of ours,
we are informed of the thorough lambast-
ing he has administered to the nasaltwan-
ger from Ohio, the illiterate Deweese.-
The prospect at present is that the Ohio
ignoramus will be beaten, and that our
State will be saved the humiliation of send
ing such Il political Jeremy Diddler to
Washington. So mote it be.

TIE HENDERSON Htder learns that Cuffee
Iayo, the niger Radical candidate for the
Legislature in Granville, stole pistol from
the store of Hunt & Bro, at Oxford, one
day last week. He was detected and the
weapon taken from him. This is the effect
of the bad company Cuf1ee kept in the Con-
yention (so-called).

OLD Rowan FOREVER !-TRUE GIFT =
The white men of Rowan are reused and
rousing. They mean to put forth all their
strength to defeat the infamous Constitu-
ton, and to this end we have heard (says
the Old North State) that at one precinct
they have laid off to go to the polls on the
21st, with three days rations and otherwise
duly equipped, and camp on the ground
for three days service.
