' , THIS WORK TO be DONE.

the Democrats of tho several election dis.
tricts in this county to choose delegates to
represent them in the county Convention
jtvbich.is to nsscmhiQ in tho courtN houso
on tho following Saturday, we desire at
this tjmo to urgo upon our democratic
fVicnda,'one arid all, to lay aside thoir busi
hesS, if it is possible to do so, and dovoto
liours, and. if needs bq>; tJ)o whole
day. to tho end, that a fu(l and a fair ex
prtssfikin of tiro'will of the party be clearly
tffldtyflL With such an expression, nil
W,ill bo well—a gopd ticket will bo formed,
4l)d will be elected, and tho public furnish
ed with good and worthy public servants.
But ryitfrout such an expression, all those
Things will be reversed, and mt.r delegate
system made an instrument for the suc
cess of designing domagngucs, and a bur
fisque'lo oiir republican institutions.
To make all safe, therefore, to prevent 1
jhe dangers to which the system is ex
posfedL-lo make, in short, the delegate
system as now practiced in this county,
what it really purports to be, and is, tho
'safe-guard of republican institutions, it is
• i inA> v, ■ .< i . f ■ ■
( C(p)y. neccs4ary thqt the primary meetings
ijoftho peopjo should bo attended by the
yfarfilA themselves, and not entrusted to n
~iott Who may be thus tempted to use tho
advantage thus given them for their self
jq|i purposes. Let tho peoplo, then,
•turn out to n man on next Saturday to
appointed ■ their delegates. If they ■ do,
there is hut little danger of unworthy del
egates appointed, and there is as
jittie .danger of nn unworthy ticket, or n
ticketof unworthy or unfit men being form
(ed. That a ticket giving universal satisfac. |
jtion wjll be formed is not to be expected jl
• /qr .whorc ,t)ie candidates are numerous a 1
selection must bo made, to tho disappoint
rpent of others ; but a ticket formed by
kjnd of men, will, nine limes out
of ten, receive the unanimous support of
(JfWpnhy and secure the election of faitli
fiif.apd honorable public officers. Wo
Jiopc, therefore that every democrat will

TUB CHINESE REBELMON.
Of nil the remarkable events recorded
in history, that of the present rebellion inj
Chinn, if the accounts fromSthat country |
cpn bo relied upon, stands forth tiro most
incomprehensible,'Both ns lo its cause ana
aim, and the rapidity of its progress. Tho
accounts say that, tho revolutionists cm
braco and practice tho Christian religion,
and destroy all tho idols and every ves
ligo of Mahomcdanism, wherever found.
They huve now conquered tho largest
part of tho empire, nnd aro threatening,
and preparing to attack the great Northern
Capitol of Pekin. If these nccounts arc
true, wo repent it will bo without a para
lel in the history of tho world. Chinn has
undergone several revolutions; but none
liko this, for none of them attempted to in
terfere with tho religion of tho people. A
short time may servo to tell, and in tlto
meantime wo would liko lo havo sonic
belter proof before wo can believe that nil
is true that is said about this rebellion in
Chinn.
To merchants and Others
As the season is approaching when tho
Merchants of our county will ho laying in
their supply of fall and winter goods, wo
would announce to them and all others
concerned, thnt we have just Replenished
our office with a splendid assortment of
job type, nnd are now prepared to do up
printing, such as hand bills, cards, &c.,
inn workmanliko monner, nnd on us rea
sonable terms us they can bo procured
elsewhere in the Slate,
It might also be interesting to those in
the habit of advertising to know that tho
Republican has a circulation of seven hun
dred and ninety-two, principally within
the county, nnd other names are daily be
ing added to our list.
oC7”Quite a number of names have been
added to our list during the last Tew weeks,
all, or very nearly all of which have been
accompanied with a sufficient amount of
cash for payment for tho paper, for one
year. But we havo not yet been over-j
stocked with cash, or compelled to exert!
ourselves beyond our abilities in working
offthe addition sheets. We aro ready and I
willing to receive a few more of the same
sort. If thoso who already patronise us I
Would exert themselves some Ijttlc in ouri

For the Republican
Messrs, Editors :—The old saying that \
a “new broom swpqfsricun,” is fully vc-1
rified in tho hiskfry ofour borough. When ;
first incorporated, some wholesome ordi- J
nances were passed, nnd a few for a timoj
enforced, while a few of the most import
ant were entirely disregarded. 1 allude to 1
the one in relation lo dogs. Why is it
thut the ordinance taxing dogs is not en
forced? Is it because the officials them
selves might huvo it to pay ? Or is it somo
other cause? It is the practice in most
boroughs to tax from one to five dollurs,
the owners, for each one, in proportion to
size or sex. Common sense says that if
a dog is Worth any thing lie is worth pay*
I ing taxes for, and if nothing, why let him
j be put away. E.
For the Republican
M kssrs. Editors :—Permit me to bring
to the notice of tho good people of our
thriving village, tho utility of improving
and taking bettor caro of some of the pub
lic grounds that have generously been
given to us ; —in particular, I nllude to thnt
fronting tho town on the river before the
Acadepay. Tbo stranger a 3 well as the
citizen must all see that with & little ertra

beautiful promenade for sociul walks, as

the coarse and brutal jests, oaths and im

tho wretched Shirley were, that intoxica

ALABAMA
Wo expressed great confidence, some
days since, that the official returns from
the elections in Altibapna would exhibit a
splendid democratic tnymph. These
turns have not reached ,us; but the in for
mntion received is sufficient to satisfy us,
beyond n peraiJvcnture, .that pur predic-,
lions are fully icalizcd.. The democracy
have clocted a democrtic governor, six of
tho seven members of Congress, and a ma
jority in both branches oi the legislature.
Wo have no doubt that tho Alabama dele
gation in the next Congress will, tw.- cojm-t
posed of tho following gentlemen :
j First district, P. Philips, democrat.
I Second district,Jas. Abercrombie, ind’t.
Third district, S. W. Harris, democrat.
Fourth district, W. R. Smith, democrat.
' Fifth district, G. S. Houston, democrat.
Sjxlb district, W.R. W.Cobb, democrat.
Seventh district, I. F. Dowdell, demo
crat.
The seventh district was represented in
tho lato Congress by tho Hon. Alexander
White, and tho second by the Hon. James
Abercrombie, both anti-Scott whighs.
TENNESSEE.
Tito returns from this Stato como in
slowlv, but such as reach us are truly re
freshing.
We uro not yet able to state tho majority
of Andrew Johnson for governor. At tho
last dates from Tennessee our friends
thought that it Would be about three thous
and voles.
Wo hnvo just heard from tho third con
gressional district in full. The candidates!
wero S. A. Smith (dcm.) and TJ Nixon j
Von Dyke, (whig.) This district gave
Gen. Scott a majority of 06. It has el
ected Smith to Congress by a majority of
1,406!
From the lights before us, wo believe
that the following gentlemen will repre
sent Tennessee in tho next Congress.

Tho Raleigh Standard of the 13th inst,
says;
Wo think wo may safely assume that!
tho representation in tho next Congress
fivjni this State will be as follows :
ffi|||irst district, Dr. 11. M. Shaw, (dom.)
’Sffgecond district, Thomas Ruffin, (dcm.)
foThird district, William S. Ashe, (dem.)
Fourth district, Simon H. Rogers,whig.
Fifth district, John Kerr, whig.
Sixth district, R. C. Puryear, whig.
Seventh district, Burton Craig, (dem,)
Eighth district! Thomas L. Clingman.
Messrs. Shaw, Rufiin, Ashe, and Crnig
all occupied the ground of opposition '■
to n division of the public lands on their;
'proceeds; and they planted themselves al-j
! so on tho position of President Picrco in
'relation to the extension of America insti- i
tutions. Messrs. Lewis and Boyd, of tho j
j fourth and sixth districts, occupied the
same grounds. The result of the election j
'mnv he justly regarded as a triumph of
tho administration of General Pierce.

Parson is out upon Harriet afier tho fol
lowing fashion :
“This long tongued visionary woman,
and calumniator of the South, is now in |
Europe, where she is being lionised by the
haters of American insiutions and Repub
lican liberties. Sho is the daughter of old
Lyman Breccher, a Presbyterian minister,
and had two brothers who ,are ministers
of the same Church. Her husband is also
a minister, and at present, we believe, is
a Professor in Andover Collego. They
are till Abolitionists, both male and female,
and the lying book styled Uncle Tom’s
Cabin, is believed to be the joint produc
tion of tho entire family, manufactured for
tho occasion, nnd as a means of raising
the wind. Her ladyship, it is well under

Lyma.n, family. But sho presents to tho
