TILE NEXT' CONCHIESS,IIAN
An the Ore:lit approwiwa, we hear en all
speculations in relation to the proba
ble result of the contest now waging in this
Congressional itistrie.s, between tbs. friends
of Denmenicy and the Know-Nothings and
Block-Republicans. It is an intetestlng
contest. Two years go the nomination of
that besutirul Christian, Reverend Johtt J.
Pearce, was equivalent to an election; but
In the present instance the nomination of
Gen. Win. 11. Irvin is far from being hailed
with that lively satisfaction, by the peopli,
which they hoped his nomination would re
ceive. - To make matters still worse for our
political opponents, they are unable to as
certain the full extent of the fourth degree of
Know-Nothingism. .For our own part we be-
hive that the ballot-boxes in the coming eke
tion, ill show that the Know-Nothings arc
conk ptibly weak in point of numbers. In
nominating Gcn. Wm-11. Irvin, we conceive
that a blunder was made by the Know -
Nothings. We do not wish to say anything
disrepectful of Geri. Wm. 11. Irvin, but our
duty as journalists compel us to warn the
citizens of this district against all political
mountebanks, and not have the district dis
graced as it wan last winter, by a trimmer,
who did not hesitate to disgrace his calling
by acts which will forever disqualify him
from receiving the suffrages of the honest,
religious and temperate portion of the com
munity. We need not now mention what
these scut arc—they arc known ; It remains
with the people,.whetber they will have an
other disgrace put upon them by Gen. Van.
IL Irvin, who is now associating with John
J. Pearce and speaking from the same plat.
form. A man should be judged by the cam-
pany ho keeps.
It in a duty which the people of this dis
trict owe to themselves, to redeem and ele•
e , tite it to its former position.l It has formerly
[menthe !ride of the people of this district
to send honest and reliable mkn CO Congress,
whom they could look to with pride—both
by Whigs and Democrats—such men as
John Blanchard, Ge u. James Irvin anßJames
Gamble, who have reflected honor and credit
to the district.
The Democracy have a candidate in the•
Allison White, of w hom they may just
ly be proud, who is honest, capable and de-
serving, and who has been placed in nomi
nation by the united voice of the Democracy
of piiirdistriet, through their regularly cho
sen delegates. We call upon the Demise
racy of "old Centre" to arouse and poll a
full vote, and the election of Allison White
is secured.' If this course had been adop-,
ted I.a E fall, the Democratic ticket would
have been elected.• Let this error of last
tear open the eyes of the Denuxwacy of
Centre, to theic . ,muliar position and their
true strength. They have now but to stretch
roiu, theirraiia to secure) al:riumiffiiiiirvia;
tory. .
- Democrats who hese been dece 4ved . into
the order of Know-Nothingism, let them
abandon their (also position, and with the
Democratic ticket, the whole Democratic
ticket, and nothing bet the Democratic
ticket inscribed on our banner emcees must
accompany our exertions in behalf of true
men, and sound republican principles.

The subject of agriculture has become of

of the country at heart. We hope our readers

There is itsgrest misapprehension in the
North about the three-fifths

The South looses by the three-lithe repre

The South has yielded her indubitable
rights, to an extent of territory sufficient to
make fifty free States larger them Massachu

The South hail constantly the subject of
slavery under discussion, its advantages sod

The difficulties with which the South had
and has to oontend, and which the North had
not, are ei follows :
harm The South cannot receive payment
for her slaves as the North did.
This single item involves the loss to the
South of Overby° thousand millions of dol

a market for them outside of their titbits.
This fact alone should cause the exercise

the North, who enjiiy the proceeds of their

INFAMOUS
There is a paper published under the •us
picea of the American Temperance Union,
called the " Yontre Temperance Advocate,"
which is circulated in Sabbath Schools and
by thousands in other ways among child
ren. In a late number it contained in •
leading article, the following monstrous
lie : '
"Tux PRESIDE :4711.-AR the . talk now Ls about

the minded men aro engrased by thin, we shall ho
able to get but few meeting* for temperance., But
we must ab 4 be dieconraged, or have the sohjectlyr

IMF The two grant polni. tfOrpre the
people, and th ey will crude a mighty struggle
next November. It la to be hoped the right
will prevail, arid the country eared for honor and
11191.1."
What a deliberate, wilful, mmodrous
falsehood is here presented to deceive and
mislead the unsuspecting children of the
land ! Hero are professed Christian minis
ters deliberately uttering the infamous lie
that James Buchanan "will go for Me ex
tension of klarerl." Here, by men of whom
truth at least is expected, the sons and
daughters of Democrats, who are sent to the
Sabbath School to receive religious instruc
tion, are taught that tho Democratic candi
date for the Presidency, who never owned a
, isrltvrctin—uslus—lME,
'rind in defence of slavery, or whispered a
sentence in favor of its extensien, or cast
vote which any hqnest man 'ould construe
into x wish to support the institution, is
meanly-denounced as a alavry propagan
dist! Truly this is i depth of meanness.
and mendacity and moral depravity which
-was never reached even in pstfliies until
these "political priests" entered the field.
*very intelligent man knows that neither
burni Duchantin nor_thc Dciactretic,
favors the extension of slavery. As the
Belfast Journal says, both the history and
principles of the Democratic party afford a
triumphant refutation of this malicious
charge. 'Bone know this better than those
who make it. The recluse 'who thinker it
thit.ks a lie. The stump orator who speaks
it speaks a lie. The editor who publishes it
publishes a lie. The clergyman who preach
es it preaches a lie, and the deacon who
prays it prays a lie. All such may wdl

The "second WASIFTINOTON," as he is sac
rilegiously ternsil by the Black Republican
press, appears to be of rather a bloodthirsty

that he is so warmly supported-by the title

to shoot at a man, and not hit him." The
professions and practices of Fremont and

the precepts of the meek and linrly Jesus;
but for that they care but little, being, as
they arc, in favor of a new dispensation.

of twelve men, and could not take them till
they , act a had of hay on tire, and burnt up
the house they were in, and they had to give
up and come out with a flag of truce. Lane's
men went up to within a few feet of them,
and told them that this was a war of exter
mination, and shot them down hie dogs.--
Everybody is turning out to tight, for they
say they might Just as well get together and
fight,and they will stand some chance, while
if they stay in the town, and let them at
tack us, we are E•ound to got killed. 'lt may

CALIFORMA.STANII- EIiPPION. , --We lee it
generally [dated that the State election of
California was.beld on the 3d of September.
This is a' mistake. By the law of Cali
fornia, the State election every fourth year,
viz : the year of the Presidential election,
is deferred until the Presidential elndtlein
takes place, and both are held the same day.
Consequently the State election in California
this year will not °emir until the 4th of
