After what has been said about office holders,
and the loud and often repeated deruncia.ions
against the administration, for giving the "spoils
to the vctors," it could not have been expected
that any 'whig" would seek Office, or that ''wbg'

that should influence them in all applications for

Hitherto, party considerations have had but little
influence in the elections for the Bench. But what
do we now see? We mortified TO say, that
gentlemen Of the profession "whig" lawyers
are now here, on the ground, electoneering not
only for the office of Solicitors, but for the Bench
Is it not humiliahDg to witness gentlemen
making interest, in person, with members OF the

this, after hearing so much about ''Ottce holders,
and the "spoils Of victory, when they thus see so
many greedy aspirants for Office in the "whig"
ranks, and every office in the gift of the LegiSa-
ture bestowed exclusively upon men of the "whig"
party? If lawyer has not character enough to
be known, without coming to Raleigh to urge his
claims in person, then surely he is poorly qualified
for the office of Judge. Possibly those a; distance
may fear the influence Of the "Tippecanoe Club"

GEORGIA.

The Legislature Of Georgia assembled on the
2nd inst. The message Of Governor Charles j.
Mcdonald was delivered to the two Houses on the
3rd. TheGovernor attributes the difficulties which
have embarrassed the country the restless spirit
OF speculation, which has excited the public mind
to state of delirium, abstracting many people
from their customary pursuits, with the inspiring
hope of the sudden accumulation of fortune. He
speaks in high terms of commendaton of the course
pursued by the Central Bank, which administered
to the general relief with all the means at its COM
mand, while he reproves the conduct of some of
the Banks in refusing to comply with the laws
The Governor says: "It cannot be conceded that
when corporation is created, it is placed be-
yond the reach Of legsIation' We should really
hope not, though it seems to be the Federal WhiS
doctrine that there is sanctity about corporations
that ives indemnify to all sorts Of abuses and err
rors. The Education fund being insufficient to
answer the purposes of general diffusion of know
ledge, the Governor recommends that-the same be
applied TO the education of those only who are too
poor to provide in this respect for themselves.
bill has been introduced into the Legislature
of Georgia TO compel the Banks to early resump-
rfon of specie payments.

THE STANDARD,
RALEIGH, ": C..
Wednesday, November 25, 1sAO.

~ The connexion of Henry I'oole, esq. with
this paper, associate editor, ceased with the
last number. We should have been pleased if ar
rangements could have been made, by which his
valuable services could be continued in the editorial
department Of the Standard. 1t has been short,
but very pleasant association our part, and the
connexion is dissolved with, believe. mutual
sentiments of that kindness and good will which
marked its continuance.
In resuming the sole responsibilities and manage
ment of the Standard, we feel animated by the
most lively hopes both of the final triumph of the
Democratic Republican party, and Of continued
support for this establishment
Democrats will always sustain the defenders of
their principles; and press devoted to the in
teress of the people, unawed by the denunciatons
of the opposition, uninhuenced by political cabals.
and unswayed by individual influence, has nothing
to fear The People will sustain it.

ELECTION RETURNS.

We omit the election returns from other States,
till we can obtain full and correct account, as
many of them reported on mere rumor.
We have received letter from an intelligent
friend in ST. Louis, Missouri, dated the 9th inst
which states that that State has gone for Van Bu-
rem by 7Qr 5000 majority. In Illinois the vote is
very close, and the chances are said to be in favor
of MIR. Van Buren,. Michigan is reported to have
given Harrison 27o4; Vermont, $4,000; Rhode
Island 1882; Maine 500; Massachusetts,, 16, 900 !;
Ohio 23,36I; Louisiana by about $500. The
"Whigs" have gained in Indiana since the Au-
gust election. Mississippi is still uncertain. A
letter from member of the Alabama Legislature
10 member of our House of Commons, dated
Tuscaloosa, Nov. IS, says: "Alabama has given
her vote to Van Buren-the Democrats have a ma
jority of IS in our Legislature, on joint ballot.''
The North-Carolina standard., 1840-11-25
UNITED STATES SENATORS.

The interest which is generally felt to know
who are to fill the vacancies IN the U. S. Senate
from this State, prompts US to give such informa-
ton as have on the subject. Not being able
10 speak by authority, we of course only give
what is the common rumor. A caucus-we ask
pardon-a log cabin meeting was held last week
in the Commons Hall, by the "whigs" to decide
who should be the favored individuals selected for
these high stations. tits rumored that there were
nine gentlemen brought before the meeting, as
competitors and the caucus being unable to agree,
the matter was adjourned over TO future meeting.
The Federal Wing of the ''whig" party were favor
able 10 the election Of CASTOR, Badger, Williams,
Caldwell and Graham; the $50 called) republican
part Of the "whigs" were for Mangum, Shepard,
Owen, and Dudley. One division was in favor of
making United States Bank the test question,
while the other was ior leaving their Senator's like
their Chief, Gen. Harrison, to act as circumstances
and party might dictate. Another meeting has
taken place but whether it has been more sue
cessfuI in reconcing the parties we have not been
able to learn. 1t is rumored that al ce:ta in
old gentlemen is talked oftor the unexpired term
of Mr. Brown, as sort of reward for his new born
zeal.
What is to be the result ofthese conflicting diff
ferences in the ranks fthese dsinteresed patriots,
who think only of their country (that is, of them
selves few days will disclose. Our friends have
only TO wait in patience, until it shall please those
who have the power to decide. They, of course,
will not divide, they are too careless about hon
ors and Office for any thing Of that sort. Yet we
very much suspect that some of the honorable gen
tIemen little uneasy for fear of the result
for should they not now receive their reward for
their log cabin efforts, it is doubtful whether they
will ever have another opportunity.
We do not see how the conflicting claims of the
aspirants to be reconciled, and beg respectfully
to suggest the propriety of calling log cabin meet
ing and submitting the matter to vote. There
is cabin at hand and there is nothing to do but to
sound the horn and due attendance will be 81 iven.
Surely our "wh1g" friends at distance cannot OBJ
iect to vote of the people. The only thing they
have to fear arises from the fact, that we have
several very distinguished great men about our
city who would not object to a seat in the United
States Senate.
I5 SINCE writing the above, il seems that at
second caucus the "whigs" were more success
full than we expected-the two wings have COM
promised upon the Senator and Commoner from
the county of Orange, Messrs. Mangum and Gra-
ham. The first being elected, on yesterday, for
the unexpred term Of MIR. Brown, and for six years
thereafter and the latter gentlemen TO the vacan
cy occasioned by the resignation ofJudge Strange.
The question now arises: What will become Of the
Hon. George e. Badger2 He, we suppose, is to
be turned over TO Gen. Harrison. What would
he think Of the District Attorneyship for North
Carolina, rice IT. II. Hoy1eood, REMOVED?

some points of the Message, which are objection
able enough, both in the spirit and the matter 1t is
quite rife with splendid projects as the last

from the Chief Magistrate of State. While pc

telf reading part Of disputative controversy be-

specimens of pretty "tall growing" over the de-
