WILSON. Associate Editor. The Battle in the Free States. Never before has political strife been as severe as bitter in the free States as it is now. The issue is Union or Disunion and it is fortunate for thi country that the lines between the contending parties are so distinctly drawn.

On one side we see the friends of Buchanan, the national Democrats and few old line Whigs; and on the other the dark and banded cohorts of black Republicanism. Mr. Fillmore is hardly in the struggle, as the recent vote MARRIED. In Lenoir county, on the 28th bv James Jones, Mr. John W.

The candidates for Governor were as follows Hannibal Hamlin, George Patten, (Whig) and Samuel Six members of Congress were voted for in addition to the usual State officers. The returns, as far as received, indicate that the State has gone strong for the Republicans. Port-Jand, Bath, Bangor, Augusta, Rockland, and other large town, shows Republican gains over last year, which if carried through the State, will elect Hamlin by over 12,000 majority. The vote last year stood as follows For Merrill, (Repub.) 51,488 for Wells (Dem.) 48,373 for Reid, (Whig.) 10,645. A plurality does not elect State officers in Maine.

Last year the Whigs united with the Democrats in the Legislature and elected Wells, the present Governor, who was re-nominated by his party. Reporter. Messrs. Wood and Gilman, Republicans, are elected to Congress in the first and second districts. second despatch.

Portland, Sept. 8.10 P. M. Returns from fifty-one towns give Hamiin, Republican, for Governor, Wells, Patten, Whig, 2,000. The vote of Portland stands Hamlin, 2,438 Wells, 1,756 Patten, Whig, 358.

Portland, Sept. 9. 167 towns give Hamlin, 40- in the Standard. Trin of Advertisin The Arator The State Fair. We have received the September number of that excellent agricultural journal, the Arator from which we extract the following in relation to the approaching State Fair The Statb Fair.

Bear inmind The State Fair will be opened, in this City, on the 14th of October. Make your arrangements, in time, to attend, and be sure to bring something along with you to exhibit. If you have prepared nothing specially for the occasion, gather up something, however small, aud bring it along. Remember, this world of ours is not made up of towering mountains, foamirg cataracts and billowy oceans, but of small atons each furnishing matter for curious and instructive examination. So of Fails.

It is not the big fat cattle, huge machinery, or prodigious pumpkins that form the chief attractions: the numerous smaller specimens of art and natural productions, possessing beauty, utility and perfection, snd manifesting skill, ingenuity, or industry, make up the grand and imposing whole. Every friend of improvement should take a deep interest in, and contribute something to the success of the Fair and every North Carolinian should take pride in doing whatever maybe in his power to render the show not only respectable, but equal if not superior to similar exhibitions in other States Aye, let us beat them if we cau. call, then, upon all and esqecialiy upon the ladies to be ready to ai lend in person and bring something to show. We hope the ladies will take the cause into consideration it tends greatly to maintain their rights and enlarge their com forts and agitate the subject from now until the time for the meeting, giving no rest to husbands or brothers until they arouse in them the right spirit and prompt them to the right action. Let us bave oue grand mass meeting of the whole State, which shall send back a thrill of delight aud spirit of improvement from its centre to its circumference." With the Arator" we ask, who is to deliver the annual address at the Fair? The State Fairs in various portions of the Union DIED.

LIST OF LETTERS REMAINING IN THE POST OFFICE, AT BAL-EIGil, for the month ending 1st 1856 Averv, Wm The Wake Whig Meeting. We publish to-day, as a matter of curiosity and of some interest to our readers, and also to serve patrons whom we are glad to number among old line Whigs, the proceedings of the Whig meeting held here on Monday last.

We are gratified to find that these gentlemen are moved by the common Southern feeling, which disregards all mere party considerations in order to defeat Fremont, the-sectional, abolition candidate; and we are bound to believe that they will go to Baltimore for the sole purpose of uniting on the strongest candidate to effect that object. Who is that candidate Beyond all question, James Buchanan. This, it seems to us, is too clear to require argument. Mr. Buchanan is morally certain of fifteen States, while no one will claim even one State as certain for Mr.

Fillmore. But with whom are these gentlemen going into Convention? With, for example, Massachusetts Whigs for we 6ee it stated that Massachusetts will be represented at Baltimore indeed, delegates were appointed at a Convention recently held in that State. We have the proceedings of that Convention before us, in a Boston paper. Among other resolutions, the following was adopted Resolved, That the opitiiot heretofore expressed by the whig party of Massachusetts upou the repeal of the Mis-souri compromise are still their opinions, only confirmed by time and they believe that the tierce and dangerous elements of discord now let loose by that act, can never be put to rest until that healing measure shall be practically re-enacted, and the territory once solemnly dedicated to freedom be received into the Union as a free State." Can the old line Whigs of North-Carolina consent to occupy that ground? Are they willing to co-operate with Northern Whigs, who would degrade them, by rentoring the Missouri restriction It cannot be possible. The same Convention in Massachusetts, which passed the above resolution, expressed a preference for Millard Fillmore.

Now, is it not clear, if Mr. Fillmore should be nominated at Baltimore, and the Massachusetts Whigs should refuse, as they certainly will, to surrender their opinion about the Missouri restriction, that the North Carolina Whigs will either have to acquiesce in that opinion, or the two sections Massachusetts and North-Carolina will have to support Mr. Fillmore on two grounds, directly opposite, on the question of slavery? Is not that clear? We think so. But will North-Caroli Albany Argus, the Detroit Free Press, the Daily Bay State, the Maine Age, the Harrisburg Keystone, the New York Day Book, the New Y'ork News, the New Hampshire Patriot, and the Boston Post; and we peruse no journals with more interest or satisfaction than we do these. They are all that any Southern nan could desire.

They are now in the thickest of the fight with the enemies of the South and of the Union and we can assure our readers that they are more unsparing and severe, if possible, towards the abolitionists than we are. See how those noble patriots strike for the Union according to the Constitution what ardor, what vehen ence, what earnestness, what steadiness, what vigor and boldness, as all the hopes of mankind hung upon their action God speed and sustain them in their mighty work! J.t is the cause of all mankind, for if this Constitution be destroyed, in what direction can the eye of the patriot look with hope? But they cannot the majority of the Northern people cannot be mad. They must see, and they do see, the blackness darkness into which the Fremont men would lurry them. The papers are filled with accounts of mmense Buchanan mass meetings; and Democratic speakers and writers, by thousands, in all the tree States, are exerting themselves with a power and a will never before witnessed. Maine may have over to the black flag even New Hampshire may tremble in the storm, and at last desert us but Pennsy lvania stands like the Alleghanies and the reat Northwest will do the rest.

Never despair of the Republic. The darkest hour, we are told, always before day but the light of Democracy RALEIGH, SATURDAY, SEPT'R l. 183G. will take place as follows Adams, James Aduer, Ava Adams, Mrs Stephen Adams, A Blalock, Hugh or John Baxter, Bowles, Thos Brister, Patrick Brown, Hon Bedford Barker, Thomas Beatty, Wm Beckham, John Burrows, Mary Beasley, Burgess, Brown, Jason Bond, Brady, John 000, Wells 24,000, and Patten 4,000. Wood and Gilman are certainly elected to Congress.

The results in the other districts are not Certainly known. Not one Democrat or Whig Senator is elected as far as heaid from. The House is largely Republican. We shall most probably receive farther news from "Maine before going to press. The Washington Union attaches but little credit to the foregoing, and warns its readers against deceptive telegraphic despatches.

The Democratic strongholds in Maine had not been heard from. Mr. Fiilmore, we are told by his friends here, is the strongest candidate next to Fremont in the free States yet we see no account of Fillmore votes or of a Fillmore party in Maine. The same is true as to Iowa and Vermont. The contest is between the Democrats and black Republicans, the old line Whigs polling a few votes.

The truth is, as a general thing black Republicanism has absorbed Know tko fitt.o, and thus left Mr. Fillmore without strength even in that quarter; and every one can perceive how weak he is in the South.

Can it be possible thai there are men in the South who prefer Fremont for the Presidency, or who would acquiesce in his election The New York Herald boasts that there are already Fremont Electoral tickets in Virginia, Kentucky and Maryland; andSt adds, "Texas and North-Carolina will probably soon follow suit' This is a vile slander on the Southern people. Xo Fremont Electoral ticket can be formed in North- Carolina mark that It may be that there are traitors here and there, in this State, as there were tories in the Revolution, who would thus deliver up their native land to the fury of the fanatic and the torch of the incendiaryj but they are few and far between. They do not number more than one in one hundred. The election of Fremont would inevitably lead to a separation of the States. Even if no overt or direct act of dissolution should take place, he could not cany on the government in the South.

No true or decent Southern man would accept office under him and our people would never submit to have their post-offices, custom houses and the like, filled with Fremont's Yankee abolitionists. We would not expect nor ask the Northern people to submit in a similar case and we will not submit. Suppose, for example, the Southern people, having the lever goes out, and there is no darkness to those vho walk by faith." We have that faith.

We answer, the South jvill vote as a unit for Buchanan ichat will the Worth do She will do all that meat- can do" is reply and if we fail, tale care of yourselves. The traitors must conquer us before they can reach you. Dissolution will not be all of the South, or in South it will be here, as well as there; and the raitors, if they succeed, will do so at a fearful cost if blood." But let us elect Buchanan, and avoid all -hese calamities. What says New Jersey? The Trenton True American says We are happy to find that the democracy of the State are rousing up in all directions. Our ueighbors in Hunter- na Whigs thus acquiesce We think not.

They are true men at heart, and they cannot do it, they cannot occupy this blacl: Republican ground; for we assert it, and defy contradiction, that the main object of the black Republicans in the present struggle is just is set forth in the above resolution the practical re-enactment of the Missouri restriction, and the admission of Kansas as a nou-slave-holding State. 3Ioore'8 Address. We received and read, some time since, a copy of the Address of Mr. Moore, in June last, before the two Literary Societies of Wake Forest College but on account of the pressure of political duties, we failed to notice it. We adopt the following notice of this production from a late number of the War-renton News.

The Editor of the News, though his Will our Democratic friends vho are fond of coupling Americanism with Abolitionism, publish the following resolution ad jpfed by the Democratic State Convention of Ohio in February last EenoUed, That the people of Ohio, now as they have always d.ne, look upon slavery as an evil and unfavorable to the development of free institutions, and that, entertaining these sentiments, they will, at all times, feel it to bt their duty to use all power clearly given by tji-e terms of the w-iioiuil compact, to prevent its increase, to mitigate and finally to eradicate Us evils." Wilmington Herald. The Herald is mistaken about this matter. The above resolution was adopted in 1855 but in 1856, in their State Convention, the Democrats of Ohio passed as sound resolutions on the subject of slavery as were adopted in any free State. They were represented in the Cincinnati Convention, and their delegates voted unanimously for the platform there adopted, which the Editor of the Herald will no doubt cheerfully admit to be sound, so far as slavery is concerned. Will the Herald correct its mistake? We know what we have here stated to be so.

One of the Old Fogies." William C. Rives, who is at present very active among the old line Whigs of Virginia, has been thoroughly exposed by the Washington Star. He applied in person, it seems, not long since, for admission into a Know Nothing Lodge in Alexandria, and was refused admission. He subsequently applied to another Lodge, and was accepted. A meeting was held to initiate him, but he was not forthcoming.

He concluded to back out, and was called away from Alexandria rather suddenly. How humiliating it must have been to gentlemen, to be poking about from point to point, seeking a chance to be admitted to the Know Nothing culvert Mr. Rives is now an "old line Whig," and, like Mr. Nat. Boyden and others we could name in this State, we trust he will remain one.

Such persons can best serve their country in a minority. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADIAN! Quebec, Sept. 9. The steamer Canadian from Liverpool with dates to the 27th arrived to-day. The Arabia had arrived out on the 28th.

They would resist it, and they ought to resist it. They would regard it as a virtual dissolution of the Union, and would act accordingly.

The Union can neither be administered nor can it exist on sectional grounds. If there be Fremont men among us, let them be silenced or required to leave. The expression of Hack Republican opinions in our midst, is incompatible with our honor and safety as a people. If at all necessary, we shall refer to this matter again. Let our schools and seminaries of learning be scru-' tlnized; and if black Republicans be found in them, let them be driven out.

That man is neither a ft nor a saje instructor of our young men, who ecen inclines to Fremont and blacl Republicanism.

Our thanks are due to a yonng friend and former pupil for a copy of an Address before the Euzelian and Philomathesian Societies of Wake Forest College, delivered Wednesday, June 11, bv B.

F. Moore, Esq." which we have read with unfeigned pleasure and gratification. There is scarcely any man. within the entire range of our acquaintance, better qualified by talent, education, wisdom and experience for furnishing sound counsel and god advice to young men, standing on the isthmus between youth aud manhood, and ready to embark on the untried voyage of life, than the accomplished author of the address before us; and faithfully and well has he discharged the office assigned him by the kindness of his yonthful friends. The prominent topic of this admirable effort is the progress of science and the incalculable benefits that it has bestowed upon mankind in geueral, as contributing to the welfare of the masses and as conducive to the refinement and elevation of society.

It is a coble theme, aud uobly is it handled. As we have devoted our life to the instruction of youth, we may be pardoned for expressing the wish that Mr. Moore's address, so replete with valuable lessons of wisdom to the young, abounding in truth enforced with masterly ability, and calculated to effect so much good to the rising generation, as well as to those advanced in years, (for it is designed to benefit ally) could be carefully read and thoughtfully considered by every man, woman and child iu North Carolina. We have not read any similar production, tending to accomplish such an amouut of good. The author, occupying as he does, a position in the front rank of the- legal profession, and distinguished, too, for his attainments us a scholar, is, pre-eminently, a practical vian, who never attempts any thing without attaining some important practical result.

Iu this address he has given the young the results of his own observation and experience in the form of salutary counsels, by pursuing which they can scarcely fail to attain to respectability and to euiiuence and for one we heartily thank Mr. Moore for this well-conceived and elegant Corner on the 11th, aud delegate meetings in all the townships on the 13th instant. The meetings in other parts are so numerous that we find it difficult to keep the track of them." A corresponding of the True American at Burlington rites The Buchanan and Breckinridge Club held a mass meeting at the City Hall on Saturday evening last. Long before the hour aunounced, the large hall was filled to its utmost capacity. Afier the singing of a national air by the glee club, bert Tyler, came forward and addressed the assei.

Colonel Wall followed at considerable length upon the present position of the democratic party, and the patriotic support it has received from those who were formerly connected with the whig party. His speech was a fervent appeal to the old-line whips to aid in throwing up a barrier against the further encroachments of sectionalism iu the country, by the election Mr. Kuchiinan.

HonI Mr. Shepard, of North Caroliua, followed in reply to the speech of Mr. Bui liugame, at GermantowD, denouncing the author as a convicted poltroon and liar, aud asserting his responsibility for ull personalities agaiust that individual." The Mr. Shepard referred to, is most probably Frederick B. Shepard, of Mobile, Ala.

a native of this State. He is a gentleman, and a man of nerve. Burlingame will not dare to meet him. We give below other extracts, showing the feeling of the Democracy of the free States Picking their Flints We learn (says the Ohio Statesman) from most reliable correspondents in It wa, that the prospects in that State for Buchanan and Breckinridge are very flattering. The result of the August election has nerved our friends with a new determination, and they have resolved to organize our forces and bring out the full democratic strength which no man of intelligence, and who is posted as that State, doubts will enable the democracy, to give her electoral vote to their presidential ticket." "Grand Mass Meeting ix Pittsburg.

We see anoun-ceinents in a number of our Pennsylvania and Ohio ex Messrs. Reade and Plryeak. The Register complains of our notice of the absence of Messrs. Reade and Puryear from the House, pending the struggle on the army appropriation bill. It says, Mr.

Puryear, it is true, was absent at the beginning of the session, but returned to Washington City in time to vote for the passage of the army bill. Mr. Reade, we are informed, was prevented from attending the extra session by sickness." Mr. Puryear returned home at the close of the regular session, knowing that an extra session had been called, and that every Southern vote was necessary to pass the army bill. He had seen the bill defeated and he knew that it must pass, if it passed at all, by one or two majority.

Yet he left. But the responsibility was too great, and he returned. If that bill had failed for the lack of one vote, the storm of public indignation which would have fallen upon bim would have been terrible indeed.

Samuel Medary. Most heartily do we endorse the following handsome tribute to the veteran leader of the Ohio democracy, which we find in an exchange The old wheel-horse of the Ohio democracy is laboring for the success of correct political principles with a zeal, an energy, and an efficiency that entitle him to the thanks of true-hearted men and women everywhere. At no former period of his long and chequered editorial career has Colonel Medary given such demonstration of his high devotion to the cacsh of the people as in the present can Northern Know Nothings, nineteen-twentieths of whom are abolitionists, left that Convention, and afterwards declared for Fremont? As a general rule, "Americanism" and "Abolitionism" in the free States are one and the same. Again, we ask the Herald if Mr. Fillmore has ever expressed a sentiment which showed his willingness to see slavery extended.

Nay we go further than this is he not now opposed to the Kansas-Nebraska act, which opened new Territories to the slaveholders of the South? Answer us that, Mr. Herald. Again: While President of the United States he wrote a letter to the people of Boston, in which he spoke of slavery as an "evil," and expressed the hope that it might, in the course of time, cease to exist Is this denied? If so, we will produce the letter. Yes, he apologized to a Boston mob, deeply inflamed against the South, for the existence of an institution sanctioned by the Bible and recognized in the federal Constitution and in doing so, he placed under the ban, socially as well as politically, the people of fifteen States of the Union What right had he, occupying the seat of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Tyler, and Taylor all slaveholders to utter his private opinions against slavery, and thus reflect on these illustrious men and on fifteen sovereign States of the Union The Herald strains at a gnat," but swallows a camel."

He was met at Newton, and escorted to Waitham by a procession of the civil and military powers. Mr. Haies addressed him, welcoming him back. Mr. Rjiks replied in an elaborate speech, occupying over an hour and a half in its delivery.

The Daily Bay State," printed at Worcester, Massachusetts, states that the reception of Banks was alim affair in every respect. The crowds were small, and there was but little enthusiasm. The above accounts, like many others, were manufactur vass. Mr. oucnanan was not nis nrst cnoice in tne Cincinnati Convention but no sooner was the nomination made than, casting aside individual preferences, he went into the canvass with the might of a true man who dares and will do all that truth and right may require.

Honor to Samuel Medary 1 All honor, we say, to appointed by the recent old line Whig meeting held here, to the Baltimore Convention, that of the Hon. Geo. E. Badger. That Convention may endorse Mr.

Fillmore, and in that event Mr. Badger will be bound to support him. Mr. Badger voted for the Kansas Nebraska act, and in a speech on the question he vindicated and sustained the repeal of the Missouri restriction. Mr.

Fillmore declared in a late speech, that this repeal seems to have been a Pandora's box, out of which have issued all the political evils that now afflict the country scarcely leaving a hope This is what Mr. Fillmore charges on Mr. Badger. He charges him with having aided in bringing the country to a condition in which there is scarcely a hope left for its salvation and yet Mr. Badger is expected to support Mr.

Fillmore for Ihe Presidency 1 in the uiu rveystone, ana wen may it De, ior is in me cause of her noblest and favorite son that it meets." "How Goes the Fight? Speaking of the great political commotion which is now felt to an unexampled degree in all parts of the State of Illinois, the St. Louis Republican says: We could fill up our columns with notices of meetings occuring every weeK in various parts of the State, but this is hardly necessary. The 'Fremonters have broken themselves down iu the race, even before the adversary has got fairly under way, and this win give a tremendous advantage to Buchanan as the day of election approaches. If there was at any time a doubt of the result, we bave very little now. Mr.

Buchanan will carry the State triumphantly." Another coteniporary says: "At the immense-mass metting at Taylorville, Christian county, Illinois, on the 16th, the first speaker was General Thornton, of Shelby ville, who said that he had always been a whig, but be could not go into the camp of abolitionism, but would follow henceforth the true aud noble banner of democratic Numbers of old-line whigs surrounded him at the close of his address and avowed their intention to vote for Buchanan. McCIernand and O. B. Fickliln were among the speakers. A hickory pole 110 feet high was raised upon the occasion; and in the procession the first team next to the band was loaded with thirty-one of the 'fairest of the dressed in white; iu the centre of the wagon stood a hickory pole thirty feet high, upon which floated the stars and stripes.

There were upwards of nit hundred wagons in the procession estimating ten to each wagon would make over six thousand persons in the procession, besides those who came on horseback and on foot." "Tippecanoe Battle Ground Five Hundred Acres of Democrats in the Field. The monster demonstration of the Democracy of Indiana, commenced on Weduesday at Tippecanoe. It will continue two or three days. The assemblage was immense, in numbers unheard of at anv po-htictu meeting. A special despatch dated Layfayette, Wednesday, Sept.

says The meeting, to-day, at Tippecanoe battle-ground was an immense one. 150,000 persons are estimated to have been present. The speakei were Breckinridge, Douglas, Uass, Van Buren, James B. Clay, Hodge aud others. Still larger demonstrations are expected to-morrow, when Dickinson, Bright and others will address them." in error, they have seen their error, and taken better ground; but how is it with Mr.

Fillmore Can the Herald show that he has ever taken back the sentiments expressed in his Boston letter Gov. Wise stated, not long since, that while serving with Mr. Fiilmore in the House of Representatives, he, Mr. Fillmore, more than once declared that he was disturbed by the clanking of the chains on the slaves in the District of Columbia How will the Herald explain that? Mr. Buchanan declared, in his place in the House of Representatives, thirty years ago, that if necessary HE WOULD BUCKLE ON HIS KNAPSACK, AND MARCH TO THE DEFENCE OF THE SOUTH AGAINST THE ABOLITIONISTS.

We speak from the record see Gales and Seaton's Register of Debates," vol. 2d, 1826, page 2,180. And yet the Herald would have its readers believe that Mr. Buchanan cannot be safely trusted on the question of slavery 1 A Free Country. A landlord or landlords have a perfect right to Iheir political opinons, and so have Southern uiei ciiants visiting New York a perfect right to give their lairi.rias;e to whom thev please.

It mav not be amiss, there- the man who, for more than a quarter of a century, Amid the battle's rout and reel, Storms of shot and hedge of has carried prou dlv aloft the standard of the democracy of Ohio. Since he first identified himself with the democratic cause, the party has passed through strange vicissitudes, but whether it rode on swelling waves of glory or struggled through darkness and tempest, his port has ever been the same. Whole squadrons have deserted the democratic ranks in perilous times, as summer soldiers and sunshine patriots are wont to do, but Medary has always stood firm. You know where to find him. You can calculate him like a planet." A Democratic Procession.

New York Sept. 10. A tremendous Democratic procession passed through the streets last night It was five miles long, composed of about 20,000 people, with fifty bands of music, and innumerable banners. The.crowd dispersed quietly at midnight. nesses in prosecutions ana ind.ctments aie not required attend.

Hawks' History of North-Carolina a work which is looked for with much interest, and which cannot fail to be a valuable contribution to our literature. The first volume, containing the period between the first voyage to North-Carolina and the end of the 16th century, is now ready for the press, and will make about 250 pages. Of the size of the subsequent volumes the Editor cannot judge, as that will depend on the amount of materials for different epochs and subjects. The election of Mr. Fillmore is as certain, if every American will but do his duty, as that the sun will rise to-morrow.

Hujnal. So was the election of Mr. Gilmer certain, but he managed to fall behind some 13,000 votes. Some of the K. N.

papers say that that was owing to the prejudice and "ignorance" of the people. It was owing to Mr. Gilmer's want of votes, to say nothing of the unpopularity of Mr. Fillmore and the popularity of the Kansas-Nebraska act The single and simple fact that Mr. Fillmore is a sworn third degree Know Nothing, is sufficient to defeat him.

Tell a man, five years hence, that he was once a Know Nothing, and he will resent it as an insult toi'e, to state that the Astor House is the head-quarters of Iremunt and fieesoilism, in this city. I to landlords have, it is said, fitted up a room expressly for Tburlow Weed, Seward, Fremont and JO. D. Morgan where they meet in rtgular conclave, and from whence any amount of'Aboli-tion documents are regularly sent out by the cart load. The proprietor of the Everett House, Union Square, is also a itcl-liut frcesoil ond Fremont man.

We learn, further, that the proprietors of the Astor House and some other business men in New York, are pledged to give the nett profits derived from their Southern custom to aid in the election of Fremont, assisting slaves to escape, What Southern man will not be careful whom he patronizes in New York? We advise Southerners to go to the Day Book office and learn who is worthy of their custom. LEATHER BELTING OR BANDS At Thomasville Depot, Davidson County N.
