Remember the 4th or November I The time for argument has well nigh passed men's minds are pretty well made up. The great thing now to be done is, to get out a full Democratic totz. Let the Buchanan men the friends of the Con stitution and the Union every where, remember that, and act accordingly. A full vote in North-Carolina will be a brilliant Democratic victory. We appeal to our friends every where, to see to it that every Democrat who appears to be indifferent or lukewarm, is urged and inuueed to go to the polls. But how can any Democrat be lukewarm at a time like this? Remember Tuesday the 4th of November ! The bs-st hopes of mankind hang on the result of that day. The contest is between sectionalism and dia unionism, as embodied in the Fremont party, and the Constitution and the Union, which can alone be preserved and perpetuated by the national De mocratc party. The Baltimore Election. The Know Nothings have carried the City of Bal timore, in the Mayor's election, by about 1,500 ma jority. Compared with the vote two years ago, it exhibits a Know Nothing loss of 1,190 votes ; while compared with the Congressional vote of last year, it presents a gain to that party of 1,181 votes. The increase in the total vote, over that of 1855, is 653. The Know Nothings polled in this election 13,8112 ; the Democrats 12,338. As a matter of course, as in Louisville and New Orleans, the Know Nothing bullies and ruffians of Baltimore did their work of blood and murder among unoffending native and naturalized citizens. The "Sun " says the fighting between these bullies and the Democrats went on for three hours, " un checked and unheeded, apparently, by any efficient show of police force " the City government being tn the hands of the Know Nothings. Four men were Killed, and some twenty wounded. Hundreds of peaceable Democratic citizens were thus kept from ie polls. The " Sun " says It was a must suni-isine- spectacle for a civilized com. munity, and such was the dangerous and unsafe aspect of ".v ...an mai i ne stores ana nouses generally in tne neigh borhood on several squares closed up their shutters and """ra. jjany peaceable citizens stood looking on at a dis- -.".i ui muereni points, deploring the disgraceful spec tacle, and the absence of all means for staying its progress. l ............ ouv. kuuo HUH UlUIIUCIUllMCa, VI CI C (KilUIy carried, loaded, fired and re-loaded and fired, time nd again, in the same hands, while every one of the par ses almost tnkillfr nnitilinn in and nmnnit fh. m.plr.t hnnu that Were nilt thus Armful flniii-ielioi a mviiIv..

We will tell you what we will do, and what we would do. We will vote for James Buchanan, because he is a national candidate, and sound on the question of slavery ; and because he stands by far the best chance to defeat John C.

Cheering News from Connecticut and Delaware. The news from both these States is highly encour aging, i ne reaction m public feeling has commenc edthe sober second thought " of an honest peo ple is doing its work. Many of the Southern Dem ocrats were alarmed and depressed by the result in Maine, and were inclined to doubt the success of Buchanan and Breckinridge; but since that time floods of light have been poured upon the free States the people have been brought to see the awful precipice to which they were being hurried Dy tnc Fremont men; and hence the result in Con necticut and Delaware. The good work will go on and the prospect now is lliat James Buchanan will receive from one huiidred and eighty to two hundred Alecwral votes. In the local elections of Connecticut, the Demo crats have made a clear gain of fourteen towns since the last election. In Delaware, in the election for Inspectors and Assessors, the Democrats have succeeded by a large majority, llieir majority in the State is about 1,- tsuu. .Last year the K. N's had a majority of 1,000. The Richmond Enquirer says : "We repeat it, whether Southern men will rally as one roan to the support of liuchaiiun. or noirlectsn to d.i. hiao!nii..n is placed beyond peradventure, if the Democrats continue to do their duty actively and zealously, as they have done thus far. TheSouth ssafefor linn, by universal concession except, perhaps, the State of Maryland, whose comronea oy me semi-abolition vote of the city of Balti more, though even that is not certain. A leading Fillmore iimu id inai cny some weeKs ago claimed live thousand as his majority in Baltimore, and the receul municipal election has cut down that majority more than two-thirds, and if the same results are achieved in November throughout the State, its electoral vote will be given for Buchanan. And the probability of this result is increased bv the considera tion that our strength is usually in the rura'l districts, while that of the opposition is in the towns in the South. How ever, we can dispense with the vote of Maryland and still elect iHir men with the utmost ease. We have uever doubt ed that they would be elected, but supposed that probably it would "be as by tire," until now, that States so little calculated upon as Connecticut and Delaware, have gone for our party. Now we say to our friends with all honesty that we despair of few States in the Union. Wc see no occasion to tear our ability to carry every State that voted for Franklin Pierce four years ago.'' A small Mattek. The Fayetteville Observer, al luding to the importance of a full supply of Elec toral tickets, says its charge for tickets is $1 75 per thousand, or $2 sent by mail, postage paid ; and it adds " the Standard charges $5 per thousand for Buchanan tickets." It also says, " the Standard is the only paper we remember to have seen which advertises tickets for sale." ' We remember to have seen Electoral tickets ad vertised in both the Richmond Enquirer and the Ral eigh Register, at the same prices fixed by the Stan dard. We certainly do not expect to make money by printing Electoral tickets. We never have. We have sent off, every Presidential election, not less than fifty thousand tickets, free of charge ; and we expect to send off soon, to our subscribers, free of charge, about fifty thousand Buchanan and Breck inridge tickets. We have an abundance of tickets on hand, which we would be pleased to give away to any person who will call or send for them. Those who choose to pay for them, can have them.as before stated, at Beventy-five cents per hundred, $3 for five hundred, or $5 per thousand. The Editors of the Observer must know that po litical Editors contribute, in every campaign, hun dreds of dollars in the way of documents, printing, &c, for which they receive no return in money. We do not wish to be considered, even by the Edi tors of the Observer, as either stingy or disposed to charge more for work than other offices charge ; and hence this notice of the Observer's article. Democratic Meeting and Dinner. The friends of Buchanan and Breckinridge will hold a Mass Meeting at Ransom's Bridge, Nash county, North Carolina, on Friday, the 31st of October 1856. A Public Dinner will be (riven, and all friends of the Constitution and the Union are invited to attend. Come one and all, and listen to the clarion voice of Democracy. Manr eminent speakers will be present and adress the people DR. THOMAS DAVIS, WM. D. HARRISON, and others. Committee of Arrangements. We learn, from the Warrenton News, that the meeting is expected to be a large one, and will be addressed by a number of distinguished gentlemen. The Committee of Arrangements are the very men to provide " a feast of reason and a flow of soul." With the News we say 1 Rally friend?, in public meeting to the rescue of the lionsiuuuon ana toe union, xour couotrv expects everv man to do his duty-in these times. Meet and commune with ;each other on your duty to our country, to your hearth stones! and to your household gods, and when the dav of battle comes, on the 4th of November, stand shoulder to shoulder, and fight in their defence. May the God of bat tles give you victory ! " j fcifer'.We see that a Black Republican convention recently assembled at Wheeling, Va., and appointed an electoral ticket for the State. Wheeling is the ;4own which gave 1200 Know Nothing majority be fore 12 o clock last year, as was telegraphed to the K. N. papers in this City, and over which result the said K, N. papers crowed lustily. Another proof that Know Nothingism is only the maidservant of abolitionism, and that Southern K. N- papers are thankful for any thing that goes against the DemocraU. The Fusion in PennavlvaniV. The people of Pennsylvania voted on the Uth in stant, for Canal Commissioner and other State offi cers, and for members of Congress. " v i : ; The Democrats have bad to meet, single-handed ana wone, both the Fillmore , and the Fremont fac tions, together with all the isms which afflict society in the free States. The following telegraphic dis patch is final and conclusive 'as to the unhallowed coalition in Pennsylvania: ... PmLADKLPHiA, Oct 9. The American and Republicans une fused on the Assembly ticket in this eity, also in all the Congressumal tickets exetnt. in tit j,-.;. Kelly is the Republican ndidlUe., We have before us, in the Philadelphia Times, a Fremont paper, the proof of the fusion in Philadel phiaa portion of the candidates being Fillmore ana a portion fremont men. The Fillmore men were required to sign a pledge to support the black Republican doctrines ; and the pledge, thus signed, is published in the Times. The fusion in Pennsyl vania between Fillmoreism and Demonism is com. pieie. jmo one can deny tt every one sees it and admits it to be so. Still, the Know Nothing presses of the South will attempt to conceal it from their 1 a -r reaaers; and if this fusion have prevailed, they will exult, as far and as openly as they dare exult, over , i i . . ' me aeieat or the national Democracy. " If the Buchanan party should be defeated in Pennsylvania on the 14th," is the appeal of South ern Know Nothings to Southern Democrats, "you must then abandon Mr. Buchanan and go for Mr. Fillmore, as the only hope of beating Fremont." bat! after this open and notorious fusion? Mr. Fillmore's friends combine with the black Republi cans to beat down Mr. Buchanan and the national Democracy ; and after the infamous coalition has succeeded, we are asked to go to Mr. Fillmore to de feat the black Republicans ! Never never 1 nev er 1 We intend to stand or fall with James Buchanan. Mr. Fillmore has witnessed this fusion, and has ut tered no word of remonstrance against it His Southern friends have seen it, and now see it, and by their silence they have approved it They are, therefore, parties to it; and with such men we have no arrangements, no compromises to make. We rely upon the Democratic .power of the country to save the country. It has done it up io this hour, and it will do it again on the 4th of November, whatever may have been the result io Pennsylvania on tho 14th. James Buchanan is stronger, by 2C, 000 votes, in Pennsylvania, than any combination that can be formed against him ; and the result in November will prove the truth of the assertion. " Never despair of the Republic." We hold that no man, native or foreign, who holds alle giance to " any foreign prince, potentate or power, and who refuses to recognize the Federal or State Constitutions as paramount to all other laws " should be nermitled to hnlH office in this country." Charlotte HTiig. We hold the same doctrine, and we insist upon it quite as strenuously as the Charlotte Whig can do. We know of no one in North Carolina who holds a contrary doctrine. The main object of naturaliza tion is to transfer the allegiance of the European subject, and thus to citizenue and Americanise him. But we hold, also, that a man who has taken the three degrees or oaths of the Know Nothings, is not a fit person for office in this country. Ho is bound by triple oaths, first to obey his Council, and next to obey the Grand Council of the United States. His liberty has been sworn away; and we know of no power which is able to absolve him from his oaths. A Know Nothing, for example, is solemnly sworn to exclude men from office on account of their religious belief; and the Constitution of the United States expressly provides that no religious test shall ever be established for office in this country. What then ? How is this Know Nothing to take an oath to support the federal Constitution ? Again, every Know Nothing is sworn to vote for none but Know Nothings for office. What is that but faction ? what but an effort to proscribe and punish for opin ion's sake? A Fillmore Elector for Bitch anas. The Hon. Henry Wood, the lately appointed Fillmore Elector for the Petersburg District, Va., is out in a letter in the Tobacco Plant, for Buchanan and Breckinridge. He says : ' Whilst my long cherished political principles have un dergiioe no uaterial modification or clianire. vet the change of circumstances and parties render it necessary, in order iu iiiniuiitiii muse principles, inai snoniu act in the present canvass with tbe Southern party which supports Mr. Bu- cnanan ior me r resiaencv. I ne great issue before I he conn- try is between free-soilisiii on the hand and Democracy on the other. With this understanding, I hesitate not to de clare lor Uemocracv. Ao man who lores the Union, and knows any thine: of its value, will have the least difficultv in such a contest. All party considerations will vield to the noble sentiment of patriotism, and the affiliation be comes easy. All admit that there should be no division amongst us in the present crisis, and all know that divi sion exists. How shall it be nealed, and we of the South be brought to act in concert t thus presenting to the ene mies of our country a miarhtv host, animated bv the funin spirit oi freedom and love or liberty ; whose moral power must be felt and acknowledged throughout the land. Sure ly the weaker party ought not to exact compliance of the stronger. Then the problem is solved, and there is nothing left for us in the South but firmly, unitedly and as one man io voie iur jir. cucnanan. Benn-btt axd Botts. The New York Herald betrays an affectionate soilcitude for the security of Botts' person. Bennett and Botts have not been the best of friends ; but we suppose tbey hove agreed, in their common attachment to Fremont's fortunes, to bury the tomahawak and embrace as brothers. Par mobile fratrum, indeed! Every inch if "cuueu o ubck is sore.iroin a irequeni application ot fie cow-hide; and there is a touch of pathos in his concern 'or Botts. Idle anpreheusion ! Botts will suffer no harm. Gentlemen in Virginia respect the infirmities of nature. Richmond Enquirer That is it let Botts and his black Republican fol lowers alone. Do not hurt them only shun, de nounce and despise them. They are a mere hand ful, hafdly enough to keep up constantly the sounds from the drum of treason. If there be black Re publicans here, as in Virginia, do not harm their persons let them go, like the lepers of old, from amongst our habitations, amid the pity and the loathing of all. God may have mercy upon the wretch who tramples on the federal Constitution, and betrays his native land ; but man is weak, and he will detest and avoid, though he may not scourge the traitor. Thb Military Visit to Raleigh. The Ports mouth Riflemen, we are informed, will arrive here on Saturday evening next, on their complimentary visit to our City. Our sister State of Virginia boasts of many fine Military companies and amongst the foremost of them stand the Riflemen. We under stand they will be the special guests of the Oak City Guards, and we feel quite easy as to the credit of Raleigh when entrusted to their keeping. They will justify the name they bear. Eating House. Visitors to the Fair and the pub lic in general are referred to the advertisement in another column of Pepper's Eating House. Pepper knows how to fix up things, and he will do it Every body, knows Pepper, and it is therefore un necessary for us to say more. Call at any time from 6 in the morning to 12 at night, and Pepper will give you as good a mea! as can be had in Raleigh. 53gT" Our readers, we know, will be interested ana pleased with the review in our paper of to-day, over the signature of " C." of Mr. Everett's Lecture at the inauguration of the Dudley Observatory. It is from the pen of one of the best- scholars and most accomplished essayists of his age in the State. -.' r i .

They also state that Democrats and naturalized cit izens are deserting their flag, and going over to Fre mont Now, we do not believe one-half of these statements. They are manufactured for effect, by the same sort of people who have been regularly employed for the last six months, in making upand ' telegraphing to these same journals the awful and false accounts of " border ruffian " outrages; and murders in Kansas. They are manufactured by hired agents, as we learn there are hundreds of them traversing the free States, now and then in compa ny 'with free negroes, abusing President Pierce, James Buchanan, and the national Democracy. A ' correspondent of the Albany Argus exposes one of : these black Republican misrepresentations, as fol- : lows: The Evening Journal, of that City, had re ported a Fremont meeting at Fondabusb, numbering j 3,000 ; whereas, the correspondent of the Atlas states that there was not more than 450 persons, of all ' ages and sexes, in attendance. It was a miserable failure. One of the young women in one of the : wagons, carried a black flag. Some excitement was f occasioned by this among the patriotic Democrats who were looking on, and the cry was raised, " Pirates ! - . r wsw v.r wKcry unti reacty w um solve the Union "but after some effort, order was restored. These black Republicans are made up of three classes unprincipled and selfish politicians, who are too intelligent not to know that their conduct is anti-constitutional and dangerous ignorant fanat ics, and mean, lazy, low-bred white men and free negroes. This is black Republicanism. Falsehood, slander, and treason are their leading characteristics. The " Wondrous Rocking Stone." A friend writes us as follows: "I clip the enclos ed from M'Makin's Philadelphia Courier. If I am not mistaken I have seen the identical language at tributed by you to your Assistant Mr. Wilson, while editing a paper in Salisbury several years ago. Am I right ?" The figure is as follows : " American Coxstitiitiov. That Winthron'sin reference to our Cnnstitntiiin .1 "Like one of those wondrous rocking stoues raised by the Druids, which the finger of a child might vibrate to the centre, yet the might of an army could not move from its place, our Constitution is so nicely poised that it seems to sws the . kiiu erery Dream oi passion, yet so firmly based in earls and affections of the nennli that the wildest mm ins ui treason ana lanaiicism oreaK r- j. r .- . .r c - over it in vain." v e trust this may be verified." This very beautiful figure is from the pen of James Fulton, Esq., of the Wilmington Journal, and was first given to the public in the Mecklenburg Jeffer sonian, edited by him several years ago. It has been rocking about the United States ever since, and we see it at last attributed to Mr. Winthrop. We trust the figure may hold good. The " storms of treason and fanaticism" are now raging as they never rag ed before ; yet the eye of every true man is turn ed to the light which streams out from the citadel of the Constitution. If that light go out, M chaos will come again." The Sixth District. Our friends in the Sixth District appear to be fully awakened to the importance of the contest. Mr. Settle, the Elector, is filling a long list of ap pointments, and is working manfully in the cause. The Forsyth Buchanan Club held an enthusiastic meeting in Winston on Tuesday evening last, and able and spirited speeches were delivered by Messrs. Thos. Ruffin, Jr., John H. Boyd, Settle, and J. R. McLean. The Club is to meet every Saturday eve ning until the election. Col. Jos. Masten and J. A. Waugh, Esq., Sub-Electors, will address the people of Forsyth as follows: At PhafTtown October 18; Blackburn's School House, Oct. 22; Sedge Garden, Oct 25 ; Thomas' Store, Oct 29. There is to be a Buchanan meeting and flag-raising at Winston on th 30th October; a mass meet ing at Kernersville, on the 31st October; and the Democrats of Guilford will hold meetings at Parson's Mills on the 18th, and at Monticello on the 1st No vember. The Winston Sentinel says : "We invite attention especially to the flag-raising at this place on Thursday, the 30th iustant We anticipate a great tune. It is with pleasure that we make the announcement that the Hon. David S. Reid, of Rockingham, will be pre sent and address his fellow-citizens on that occasion. Gov. Reid will alsospeukat Kernersville on the day following and, from the ability and popularity of the man, the high confidence hitherto reposed in him by the people of his na tive State, and his personal experience in the public service, we bespeak for hi ni a large turnout aud a candid hearing from men of all parties. Besides Gov. Reid, Mr. Settle, Mr. Scales, and other able and distinguished, speakers, are expected." Messrs. Craige, Kerr, Hill, Scales, Williams, and other distinguished speakers, aro also expected to address the people at the above times and places. A Woho fob tub Petersburg Intelligences. The Petersburg Intelligencer, conscious of the weak ness of its candidate, Mr. Fillmore, is constantly ap pealing to the Democrats to abandon Mr. Buchanan and go over to his support The Intelligencer must be just towards Mr. Buchanan before it can expect Democrats to be unjust to themselves and very gen erous towards Mr. Fillmore. The Intelligencer has been and is now daily publishing, under its Editorial head, garbled extracts from Mr. Buchanan's speech in the House of Representatives, int 1826, on the Panama question the object of such garbling being to prove Mr. Buchanan an abolitionist at that time. We have the speech before us, in Gales and Seaton's Register of Debates; and the Editor of the Intelli gencer can easily obtain it, if he wishes, and exam- me it for himself. He suppresses those portions of it in which Mr. Buchanan deplores and condemns abolition interference, and declares that, if necessa ry, he would " shoulder his knapsack and march to the defence " of the South against the abolitionists. The State Fair. As we go to press the people are coming in by hundreds to attend the State Fair. The entries of cattle, horses, machinery, &c, on Monday evening were already numerous ; and we learn, from those well qualified to judge, that every indication gives promise of one of the most success ful and interesting Fairs ever held in the State. We shall furnish our readers with a full account of the Fair. . Rev. Professor Wheat. It was stated in the pa- pars, a week or two since, that the Rev. J. T. Wheat, Professor of Rhetoric and Logic in the University of North-Carolina, had resigned his " place and ac cepted a call to the charge of the Episcopal Church in Memphis. We are happy to learn that Prof. Wheat has not yet resigned, and that it is possible he may continue in the post which he now so wor thily fills. The Contest in Kentucky. Louisville. Oct 8.

We learn that at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of North-Carolina, held on Saturday last, it was resolved that Mr. Hedrick has ceased to be useful as a Professor in the University ; and the Secretary was directed to inform him of the fact It is expected that, as a matter of course, he will at once resign. Should he refuse to do so, however, we nave no doubt he will be removed. BP" His Excellency Gov. Wise, of Virginia, and His Excellency Gov. Adams, of South-Carolina, are at present in this City, and have rooms at the Yar- brough House. Re-Captcrb or the Loudon Slates at Carlile, Pa. As was stated last week, fsavs the Loudoun Mirror,) the negroes who recently escaped from this wuutj iioc umi aiicsieu. ve nave since ocen pleased to learn that the citizens of Carlile, Penn., behaved very handsomely on the occasion, and af forded the owners of the slaves every facility in their power for the recovery of their property. When the fugitives were arrested and taken from the cars at the depot there, an attempt was made by the free negroes, and a few white men present to "raise a row," but the United States Marshal was promptly in attendance and took them into custody. The Mayor of the town then addressed ,the crowd and told them that these citizens of a sister State were there in pursuance of a law, to recover their properly, and that they must not be molested. The great majority of the audience heartily seconded his remarks ar.d declared that they would sustain him. After the investigation was had, and the slaves were proved and identified, the officers summoned a small posse to accompany them out of the State, and al- tnougn tnere was a considerable crowd collected at the Marshal's office at the time, they were passed through without the slightest disturbance. This, be it observed, was in Pennsylvania, not Massachusetts. PEACE IN KANSAS. Gov. Geary, on a visit to Topeka, the Free State stronghold of Kansas, was beseiged by the Aboli tionists, who insisted that Robinson was still Gov ernor, and that slavery was the cause of all the evils that had befallen the Territory. To this he replied : " Gentlemen : I come not to treat with but to gov ern you. Itiereisnow in this Territory no other Governor than John W. Geary. I will protect the lives and property of every peace loving and law abiding citizen, with all the power committed to me. I will not for a moment tolerate any Questioning of my authority. Every person in favor of restoring peace to this distracted Territory can range them selves under my banner ; all others I will treat as bandits and robbers, and I will extirpate all such at the point of the bayonet Don't talk to me abou t slavery or freedom free State men or pro-slavery men until we have restored the benign influence of peace to this beautiful country until we have punished the murderer and driven out the bandit and rabble, and returned the industrious citizens to their homes and claims. Don't, I pray you, embar rass me with these political questions. You shall all, without distinction of party, be protected. This is not a time to talk about party, when men, women and children aro daily murdered and driven from their homes. In God's name rise for a moment above party, and contemplate yourselves as men and pa triots. I am your friend, your fellow-citizen, moved by no other impulse than the good of the bona fide inhabitants of this Territory and the protection of their lives and property. When peace shall be re stored, I will see that every man of you is protect ed in his political rights.". A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing on the 19th u It, says: " What a change a week's energetic, impartial administration of affairs has produced here f Instead of the reign of terror, with every man thirsting for the blood of his enemy, confidence is being restored, squatters are returning to their claims, and hope is again dawning upon this country." The Late Elections. The black republicans are boasting loudly over the result of the elections which have taken piace since the Presidential nominations, and are proclaiming that they have made great gains, which indicate the success of their ticket These boasts and representations are entirely groundless. Supposing the States in which elections have been held shall vote for President as they have voted in theso elections, they will stand precisely, in the ag gregate, as they did in 1852, as follows : 1856. 1852.
