of the truth of all this ; but in no one espe-
cial regard is it exhibited SO plainly as in
the character of the dispatches sent and
received through the association from the
Southern States. A late example of the
deceptive character of the news from this
source, and showing the bitter prejudice
which inspires it. may be found in the fact
that aside from the special dispatches to
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN regarding
the North Carolina election, held as long
ago as the 9Th inst, not single word has
yet been received over the wires acknowl.
edging the substantial victory achieved by
the Republican party in that State. Last
year when the State went Democratic they
were burdened with superhuous details of
the returns, while this year the agents of
the association, after falsely stating that
the Democratic success had been repeated,
have purposely neglected to correct their
willful error with the information that the
Republicans had gained, on full vote,
about forty thousand over their strength at
the last election. The New York Graphic
independently comments on this as fol-
lows:
SIT is strange fact that none of the Asso-
ciated Press papers give the full particulars
of the North Carolina election. Last year the
State elected Democratic ticket by some
fourteen thousand majority. But in the re-
cent election of delegates to the constitutional
Convention the Republicans have carried the
State by q popular vote Of some eighteen,
thousand. The tidal-wave has swept the
other way. But, strange to say, the Asso-
ciated Press papers say nothing about 1t, and
in fact scarcely notice the election In any way.
This shows what influences operate the wires,
and how ne,cs IS docfored 10 s,it the political
end other predictions Of the poOsrs that control
This gigantic monopoly"

already given, is in letter from the Rev. l. Il.

The sketch prepared at our request, by the hand
of an afectiouate brother, will be read With deep
interest. And how little could his companion in
former missionary labor, DR.. Houston think that
the same paper which contained his appeal for
help to brother Leyburn, wonld convey to him the
tidings of his decease But it is the privilege OF
good men when their work is ended-of which the
Master is the judge-to enter into their rest and
into the Joy of their Lord. Let the bereaved fam.

The Presbytery of Mecklenburg, during its re.
cent sessions at Mills River church, N. c., issued
the following caveat, viz:
Whereas There is reason to believe that In
sidious influences are at work, emanating from the

tract our mountain churches, and to lure the IN
wary and unsupported from the fold.-this Presby-
terry deems it proper, In selfrespect and selfpro-
lection to warn our pastors and 10 case of vacant

the aforesaid Presbytsry, or Of any other Presby.
terry offending in like manner, to preach In our
churches, or otherwise giving them any encourage
