DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CON
VENTION.
On Saturday, Aug. 20, primary meetings
will be held-throughout the County, for
the purpose of electing delegates to put in
nomination a County ticket, on the follow
ing Wednesday, Sept. 2. We trust that
thero may be a good turn out, and that
good men may be chosen to compose the
Convention. The death of Sheriff Woods,
imposes upon us the election of his suc
cessor this fall; the Convention will there
fore, be called upon to put in nomination
a candidate for that important office.
Let not large republican majorities of past
years in this County deter the Democracy
from seeking nominations this fall; there
has been and is a great revolution going
on in public Bentiment, and we would not
be at all surprised to see even this, hereto
fore, stronghold of Abolitionism disenthral
itself from thg%rasp of that odious fanati
cism. There is unusua) thinking going on
among the people, and the more calm re
flection they indulge in the more rapid will
bs the growth of conservative convictions.
The people must see that the only hope
for onr country is in the defeat of the de
structives now in power, who have plunged
the country in civil war. and who, under
false pretences, are now determined to
prosecute hostilities, not for tho restora
tion of the Union, bnt for negro emanci
pation. The people are thinking about
these things, and we suspect that their
votes next October will show large acces
sions to the Democracy.
TIEED OF THE COHFEDEEACY.
The Raleigh (North Carolina) Stand
aid, of the 31st ultimo, contains a long
article from the pen of R. S. Donnell,
formerly a member of Congress, and now
Speaker of the popular branch of the State
Legislature, strongly in favor of returning
to the Union, “We farther understand,”
remarks the National Intelligencer , “from
an officer of the army in North Carolina,
through whom we have reeeived this pa
per. that thi? Hon. F. R. Satterthwaite, I
'President of the ‘ Governor’s Council,’ I
aided in the preparation of this calm ap
peal, which, before its publication, was
submitted to Governor Vance, nnd re-1
caived his approval.’’ I
The dtand (tril I in "which the article re
lerred to first appeared, ie the organ of the
Governor ot the State ; among the strong
points of the address, it states that “ only
portions of fire of the secession Slates re
main in the hands of the Confederacy,”
and it proposes that the State, immediately
make application to the United States Gov
ernment for peace. Here we have a visi
ble bursting of the Southern Confederacy,
so far as North Carolina can effect it. It
is well known that Governor Vance and
his party represent at least two-thirds of
the people of his State, while the calm,
dignified and firm reasoning of the argu
ment in question, goes to prove that its
authors are quite in earnest, in their ef
forts, to free themselves from Confederate
thraldom. But anxious as these North
Carolians are to return to their allegiance,
there is a wall of fire preventing them.—
Their property by our Abolition laws and
proclamations, is confiscated, and their
slaves are emancipated; and unless these)
edicts be withdrawn, North Carolina will
only be compelled to remain, of necessity,
in the Southern rebellion. President Lin
coln having solemnly announced, at his in
auguration, that he had neither the
“power nor the disposition to inter
fere with the local institutions of the
States,’? has now a case presented for him
to prove the sincerity of his declaration.
Ivst him withdraw his proclamations, so
far as North Carolina is concerned, at
least, and give the oppressed people of
that ancient Commonwealth an opportu
nity to return to the Union, of which Bhe
was an original member. North Carolina
again inthe old Union, on reasonable con
ditions, would cause a stampede in the
Confederacy for readmission, also. Ten
nessee would next follow; Louisiana next,
and three montbß after would see the
whole Southern fabric utterly broken up.
But is it the intention of the Adminis
tration to let the people of the South burst
the bonds of Davis' usurpation, and en
courage them in their efforts to return to
tteir allegiance ? We do not believe
that ench is the intention. From
various quarters in the rebellious States
we have seen indications of a desire
upon the part ot the people to abandon I
the Confederacy; but we have heard no
word ot encouragement to them, f rom
either our Administration or its leaders.
On the contrary we see unmistakable in
diqnfbjnp tjiat thewar is to.be protracted
abtil ig utterly annihilated tbrongh-
the. South, fkisja. the secret which;
iSnggeiSs opts of Conscript ioir-fbp thysß
hundred thousand men, to operate "gainst
r» job already prostrated.. For fear, jndeed, j
that tho-- oioro conservative Republicans
tedt ! Sbath into the .Uniop upon equal
terms, we find the roost radical of th e ß>
who are presumed to speak for the Ad
ministration, erecting insurmountable
barriers to, finch a' consummation. For
ney’s Washington: Chronicle, the organ of
the President, on Saturday last, in
an .elaborate article sets its face like oda
mant against any peace that does not bring
witb it emancipation. It says: “ This
question of enforcing the President's
Emancipation Proclamation is rapidly
approaching that point at which it will
become the test of popular loyalty. ’ ’ We
cannot say whether the servile and
debased wretch who penned this intamoos
sentence, speaks for the President or not.
We know that he is willing to wear any
collar that will render him at ail notori
ous ; and consider his meanness but a
“test of popular loyalty.” If he speakß
by the card, however, poor North Caro
lina may groan in chains. Taking the
Washington organ’s remarks in connection
with the following observations by Sena
tor Wilson, which it quotes and endorses,
we may conclude what the radical pro
gramme is in relation to the South, and
why it is that they are so eager for “three
hundred thousand more.” The following
are Mr. Wilson’s observations:
“ The practical issues before the nation are the
suppression of the rebellion by the band of war,
the extinguishment ofrits oao&o bjjjCb enforce
ment of Che EmaDeipaWsr ProolanreCiOD. Theso
are the vital issues, and they are to meot tho
sternest resistance—to pass through trials that
will test the fidelity and endurance of their sup
porters, as their fidelity and endurance wore
never tested before. I tell you, sir, and the men
who believe in the Emancipation Proclamation,
who mean to make it a practical reality, the irre
peal&ble law of the nation, that they must pre
pare for a mighty conflict—a oonfliot that will
stir the oountry to its proloundest depths. Reside
tais transcendent question of the enforcement of
the in the rebel States, all other
questions, growing out of the existence of slavery,
sink into utter insignificance; for its euoeoss car
ries with it everything else—ultimate emancipa
tion in Delaware, and Maryland, Kentucky, and
Tennesseo, fugitive slave law and all. Lot, thon,
the anti-slavery men of united America, by
thought, word, and deed, support tho President
in suppressing the rebellion, and in enforcing
tho proclamation. Let them raise no immaterial
issues, no trifling questions to distract or divide
their Counsels, or to impede their advance to tho
achievement of tho crowning riotory that shall
bring along with it unity to a now dismembored
country, peace to a wounded and bleeding nation,
justice to a wronged raoo. and a future radiant
with the elevating and refining inspirations of
equal and impartial freedom-"
It will be seen by these remarks from a
leading Abolition Senator, speaking the
sentiment of not only Massachusetts
Abolitionism, but for his party throughout
New England, that emancipation is to be
the price of peace. After the Sonth is
willing to submit to the Constitution, Bhe
will not be received without emancipation.
When this issue is forced upon the Ameri
can people, by farther Abolition agitation
and exactions, we conclude that the conn- 1
try will indeed be stirred “to its pro*
foundest depths.” Then we shall have
the original intention of the Abolitionists,
in forcing this war upon the country, ex
posed in all its naked wickedness. The
cry for the Union is fast passing away
before the fanatic howl for emancipation.
iST’Edwnrd Everett, in asserting that
the Sonth would not have accepted the
Crittenden Compromise had it been -of
fered by the lepublican members of Con
gress before the withdrawl of the South
ern members, performed a service which
has led many administrations to suppose
that he joined, or intended joining, their
party. This we think a mistake. Mr.
Everett has mildly censured—he is a very
mild man—the radical policies of abol
itonism. A rumor has been circulating
that he intended to send his two Bon? to
the war, they having lately been drafted.
This is a mistake. He has paid his six
hundred. That he paid the six hundred has
been seized upon by the radical proas as a
proof of his loyalty, and they have “spoke
his deservinga likea chronicle,” Why he
paid the six hundred, instead of sending
hia sons to the war, may perhaps be gath
ered from these extracts from an oration
delivered by him in New York, July 4th,
18G1 :
i oa £, l , rist ttn c e alone tho South has suffered
defeat. The North for the first time has chosen
a President by herunaided electoral vote. I did
not; as you. know, contribute t ifhftt result; but I
did enlist under tho banner ofthe*tfmon, th* con
stitution and the enforcement of the htwu Un<l r
that banner I mean to stand , and with it, if it is
struck down, I mean to fall-
We wasenowar of conquestand snhiu
gation; we ai m at nothing but to protect our loyal
teUow-citizens, who; against fearful odds, are
fikhtuig the battles of the Union in tho disaf
fected states ; and to ro-establish; not for our
selves alone, but for our misguided brethren,
tbo mild sway of tho constitution and the laws*'*
All who would divert the war from
ta only legitimate and constitutional
object are “the enemies of the Union,”
and, as snch, whatever may be their social
or political standing, must encounter the
opposition of enlightened patriots. AU
who would distract the public attention
from the paramount aim of the. Gover
nment, by propounding novel and revolu
tionary doctrines as the motive of mil
itary operations, which can be legally or
succeßsfnly prosecuted only under the Con
stitution that arms the nation with its right
and power to quell insubordination—all
who indulge in such disorganizing specu
lations are Bowing the seeds of discord
broodcast over the land. Those, for in
stance who, with William Whiting, Esq.,
the Solicitor of the War Department, an
nounce that the war has reached a stage
in which, so far as the Government is con
cerned, all State lines are obliterated in
the rebellious district, are men who,
whether they know it or not, are both
theoretically and practically ‘the actual
aiders and abettors of the Confederates,’
They are revolutionists just as Jjruly as the
men against whom the nation is in arms,
and thengh their disloyalty takes on a
different'form, it is none the less overt,
and tends practically to a fatal concur
rence with the designs and hopes of the
armed sedition. Unfaithful to the limi
tations of the Constitution, they are
equally inimical to the declared policy of
the President, who, even in the opening
words of the “proclamation of freedom,”
which they profess to support, distinctly
declared “that hereafter as heretofore the
war will be prosecuted for the object of
practically restoring the |constitutional re
lation between the United States and
each of the states and people thereof
in which States that relation is or may
be suspended or disturbed,” Mr. Whiting
and those he represents know nothing of
constitutional relations between the United
States and the revolted States. For them
the revolted States have ceased to esist,
and the “constitutional relation,” as Mr,
Lincoln contemplates it, is destroyed, not

IMPORTANT BY TELEGRAPH.
The papers, yesterday, contained the
highly important announcement, from
Philadelphia, that P. C. Shaunon waß
serenaded somewhere, and in acknowl
edging the compliment “declined any
political allusions.” Tho telegraph from
Philadelphia to this city has, daring the
summer, been pretty well burdened with
messages about the performances of P. C.
Shannon. The movements of our ablest
Generals and Statesmen were unimpor
tant in comparison with his; but, in view
of the fact of the late Abolition State Con
vention having failed to nominate him, for
the Supremo Bench, we suggest the pro
priety of his suspending such frothy an
nouncements, at least until the warm
weather is over. The action of the Con
vention, by the way, may account for Mr.
P. C. Shannon failing to indulge in any
political allusions, M in response to his
last serenade. f
Shall Further Presidential Elec
tions be Dispensed With.
We find something both to agree with
or disßent from in these objurgatory re
marks appended by the Tribune to the call
of the Democratic National Executive
Committee :
“The appearance of this call brings forci
bly to view the gulf which separates the
present from the past. Bnt little more
than three years have elapsed Bince this
committee was formed ; yet a call for it to
meet seems like a challenge to Richard
the Lion-hearted to rise from the grave
for a tilt with S&l&din. Who thinks of the
next President? Who can hear wilhont a
yawn that Jones or Smooks is likely to
get this or that nomination ? Who realizes
—unless he be an aspirant for the post —
that we are to choose a President next
year? Who would not agree that any
ma “ or Party might trinmph, then, if he
could thereby secure a benificent and
speedy iasn6 of our present sanguinary
struggle? What a dreary impertinence, a
stupid anachroism, seems the calling to
gether of n national committee now pre
pared for opening a new presidential cam
paign ? Is it not an assemblage of spectres
that Mr. Belmont would invoke—the
shadows of men long since departed ? It
seems hard to realize that, in times like
the present, any one can think of oiling
up his party machinery for another presi
dential contest.”
11 The gulf which separates the present
from the past” is indeed wide. The
strides made by the government in the
direction of despotism, within the last three
yearß, very naturally suggests the question
raised by the Tribune whether presiden
tial elections have not become “ a dreary
impertinence, a stnpid anachronism,”
like a proposal to hold in the nineteenth
century oneot the gay tournaments of the
middle ages. “The age of chivalry,”
whose departure Burke so eloquently la
men ted, was not more out of keeping with
the spirit of modern society than is a.
presidential election by free popular suf
frage with the practical despotism into
which our goverment has deteriorated.
We do not wonder that the Tribune thinks
the age of presidential elections, like that
of chivalry, is “gone:”
"Oone, glimmering through tho dream of things
that were,
A sehool-boy'.H tale, tho wonder of an hour.”
While recognizing the Tribune's clear
ness of perception, we must nevertheless?
dissent from its practical conclusion. We
therefore beg our vehement contempora
ry s indulgence while we state some rea
sons why, in our opinion, it is not expe
dient, as things nmo stand , to abolish
Presidential elections,
The people have not yet become accli
mated in the atmosphere of despotism
which surrounds them ; they are restive
and uneasy, and might become trouble
some if too suddenly deprived of their ac
customed remedy for political grievances.
Archbishop Hughes, in his speech during
the late disturbances, remarked, with great
pertinency, that, in this country, our in
stitutions provide forapeaceful revolution
every four years. He argued, with much
cogency, that there was no justification
for violent resistance in a country where
all the desirable ends of revolution can be
attained by the safe method of regular elec
tions. Now whether we are really to have
another presidential election or not, we
cannot bnt think the archbishop made a
judicious selection of a topic for dissua
ding the rioters from further resistance.—
Jit happily accomplish! J its object, and
1 1 cansed those excited men to return to
I their homes in a more quiet, sedate, and
I obedient temper. Considering how deep
,l ly agitated is the public mind, consider
I ering that a large military force is deemed
I necessary to preserve the peace of the
| city, it seems to us clearly expedient to
I keep np for a little while longer, if not
I the reality, at least the pretense, of regu-
I lar elections. If the Democratic Nation
al Committee have fallen into the mistake
lof supposing that a presidential election
I will take place next year, as usual, it I
I would seem impolitic to dispel the sooth
I ing delusion. It is probably not yet to I
I rely entirely on bayonets and cannon balls I
| tor keeping the people in subjection; I
I and we therefore submit (with profound I
I deference) that it may be better to amuse I
I them with the idea that they can next year I
peacefully depose the rulers under whosq
misgovernment they now chafe with dan
gerous impatience. If it is thought expe
dient that no change shall be made in the
Administration at the end of Mr. Lincoln’s
four years, the thing can be easily man-1
aged. By proclaiming martial law in some
States, after General Burnside’s pattern I

tracts in others, and by the ready resource

Strong aa are these reasons for goipg
through the form of another presidential
election, we must in candor concede that
there are countervailing considerations
[ which go far to justify the Tribune. A I
1 presidential election has not only .become
the “anachronism” which the Ttibunel
asserts, but a bloody. demonstration con
stantly stßres us in the face that the lost
presidential election tyas a Pandopa’s box I
to the country. When the 'Tribune con*
templates the horrible consequences of
Mr. Lincoln's election (mainly its own
work,) it is not surprising that, aghastand
conscience-smitten, it is sick to the heart
of presidential elections. Why should we

by the last are still fresh and bleeding?—

country may feellike exclaiming, in the
anguage of ono of the characters in
“Macbeth,”
“Bleed, bleed, poor country !
ureat tyranny, lay thou thy basis sure
*or goodness daroa not oheck thee!” '
But the great body of the people do not
yet give way either to remorse or despair.
They have the most perfect confidence in
the triumph of the free principles In which
they were nurtured, and they tolerate the
present despotism only because they ex
pect to overthrow it by the peaceful agen
cy of the ballot box. In view of the un
settled temper of the times, and the revo
lutionary thoughts that are stirring in
men s minds, the National Democratic
Committee render a timely service in cal
ling attention to the near approach of the
Presidential election, which opens a peace
ful door of escape from the thick perplex
ities and evils of onr present condition.

The Symptoms of Disunion.
[Prom the Montreal Witness, August 15-]
A Western paper, referring to the threat
of some Lower Canadian journals, that
they will demand a repeal of the Union
if the representation by population ques.
tion is passed, states that Upper Canada
will not permit a repeal, nor give np its
right to the common use of the St. Law
rence, and intimates that the time is com.
ing when the people will take the repre
eentation question into their own hands
and settle it. In what way the people can
settle it, other than through their repre
sentatives m Parliament, he does not in
dicate. If the conservatives are willing
to unite with the Liberal parly to obtain
what most concede to be a just measure
it can become law. Bat rather than force
the measure, perhaps it would be better
to labor to convive Lower Canadians
ot the reasonableness and the justice of
the demand.
Onr object now, however, is not to deal
with this question, but to point out the
inconsistency ot onr contemporary. He
is an extreme pro-Southern sympathizer,
holdmg that the States have a right to
secede whenever they please. He makes
light ol the arguments of the North, some
ot which are precisely similar to those
which he himself uses above. The people
of Upper Canada will not permit the re
peal of the union of the provinces: neith
er will tho North allow secession. Upper
Canada demands the free navigation of the
SL Lawrence. The Western States will
not consent to the outlet of the Missis
sippi being under foreign conLrol Onr
contemporary opposes tho repeal of the
nmon of the provinces, but he is in favor
ot repealing the union of Slates in the
neighboring republ.c. The above argu
taenta against repeal hore are just as valid
against secession sontli of ns. Wo only
point out this inconsistency to show how
unreasonable and unjust some meu arc in
their treatment of others.
The Enmity between Bragg and
. Breckinridgo.
i During the progress of the battle of
■Stone River, whilo Gen. Bragg and Staff
were on the fiold, a private belonging to
G en - Breckinridge's division was going to
the rear, when he was observed by Bragg,
who told one of his aids to halt the sol
dier and ascertain his reason for leaving
tho field. The soldier informed the aid
that he was on the Bick list, and that he
had a certificate of inability from his reg
imental surgeon. Bragg asked to see his
pass, and, remarking that he doubtod very
mnch whether there was such a surgeon in
the army, ordered the man to return to his
regiment or he would hnvo him shot.
One of Breckinridge's aids was present.
He looked at the pass : : ' t.i!,i Bragg it
was correct ho ku- v i!m surgeon.—
Bragg then peremntoii'y .1 the man
to his regiment. Brrcki-.ridi-’s aid gal
loped off to his comi;:.,:i.l. , a 1.1 i.dormed
him of what had just | iis u-d, when he pat
spurs to his horse and, marching the sol
dier back in the presence of Gen. Bragg,
told him to go to the rear, saying that if
any more Kentuckians were to be shot he
would take a hand in it himself. This is
said to be one cause ot the animosity
which has existed between three two reb
el officials since the battle of Stone River
The Proper Course.
The National Intelligencer, after de
nouncing the Secessionists in becoming
terms to the parasites of the Adminiatriy
(ton, says
Bnt those who sustain the Administra
tion in the adoption of measures which
they be'iave to be prejudicial to the best
interest of the country tire men who can
not be true to the country, for they are not
true to themselves. The country, in this
her hour of need, has a right to the best
service of all her children, and they who
would counsel wisely cannot oounsel in
sincerely. . Truth, says Bacon, was never
honored with the unclean incense of a lie,
and a manly patriotism never demands at
the hands of it votaries a timid paltering
with conscience and personal duty. The
hands of the Government can be as fatal
ly weakened by servility as by faction, the
former being the besetting peiil of astrong
Administration and the latter of a weak
one. The true citizen is He who seeks to
avoid both. He bears on his forehead
“what he thinks of the Republic,” and
never more couspicuoqsly than in a time
of public danger, when interests of the
most momentous are at stake.

New York, August 19,— The very latest
from Charleston is to the 15th, at five, p.
m. The rebels have piled sand bags on
the wharf against the rear wall of Sumter
forty feet high, completely protecting the
magazines from shore batteries.
Bat few shots were fired dnring Sunday.
lUs generally understood that tho assault
will be made to-morrow. The weather
promises favorably for operations. Ger,
Gilmore’s health is much better. A pri

to-morrow certain,"
On Friday and Saturday tho bombard
ment was terrific. The action of the sea
on Sunday prevented the gunboats from
working, but were expected to join the
attack on Monday.
A dispatch says there was a report that
Gen. Gilmore has encceeded in reaching
Charleston with one of his long range guns
and had thrown shot into the cify to such
aii extent as to call forth a flag of traao
from Beauregard, lhere is no official
confirmation of this, nor is it believed.
Ouanue Court House, August 1-1. —A
gentleman jnst arrived from Staunton re
ports that some twenty raiders were
brought there yesterday, captured within
fifteen miles of that place. Neither of the
Richmond papers of Saturday refer to the
execution of Captains Sawyer and Flyn,
which wa b to have taken place on Friday
the 13th, and it is probable their execu
tion has been quietly postponed. There is
noUmueh danger of it being carried ont so
long as Gen. W. H. Lee and Capt. Winder
are held as hostages for them.
