TO TliE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PROPER.
OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Caswell, June, 1913.
FttloU. Cifizens:-In the conclusion
OF my last, drew your attention TO the
Democratic Candidates for Congress, and
the Democratic Papers. and put the
question:" Out of the whole concern,
what has Mr.. Van Buren, or his friends
10 hope fort" | will now answer the
question. First, then with reference to
the Democratic Candidates.
Our own Candidate ID. S. Reid, ESQ.
is Van Buren, man. aud 10 the utmost ex-
tent Of his abilities, will sustain the good
cause. His district In uneonlaminated
with Calhounism and Notification. The
contest here, is between Whiggery and
true Democracy; and the result in the
triumph Of the latter, is so sure, that no
Van Buren, man permits himself to doubt,
il. maugre the lille boas,ings of the Bank
Fcderalists.
]. J. Mckay, of the Wilmington Dis
trict, was Van Buren, Democrat. and he
may be one yet, but as to any services he
renders the Party, he had as well no, be
enc. Possessed of a powerful intellect,
OF al immense estate, and childless, he
stands aloof, wrapt in the solitude of has
own selhshness, contributing but little
from the vast resources of his intellect,
and less from his OVERLOOKING purse, to
advance eur cause. He has the means,
without missing them, TO establish Van
Buren, paper at snce, and to give it prompt
aid by his own contributions. And
now, in behalf Of our Party, call upon
him to do it, il he be a Democrat good
aud true-and 10 do il, forthwith. Ii he
will not do this, let him give place to
some one more worthy, who will at least
do something more than nurse his sine
cure Of 50 per diem.
Burton Craige-Who is he, anil what
is he! Another reckless renegade Wing.
Who has said so much against Mr.. Van
Buren,, who so denounced Jackson and
the whole Democratic ranks, with such
bitter sarcasam and low scurrility! AL
low me to give you adew beautiful speci-
mems Of this genllsman's pure Y. b. De-
mocracy:
At the Spring Term of Rowan Superb
or Court, at Salisbury, where Mr.. Craige
and Mr.. Fisher, leading, noisy Nullifers,
generally kept the political horizon in, an
uproar, the Grand Jury unanimously
passed sundry Resolutions, denouncingth
jackson Administration and the prospects
of electing Mr.. Van Buren,. They said,
g." In our opinion the political condition of
the Coutry is such at this time, as ought
seriously to alarm the American People
for The safety of our free institutions, and
even for liberty ITSELF" They charged
Jackson with the assumption of power SUI
perior to the Kings Of England or France,
with using the patronage Of the Goxsrn-
ment to elect Van Buren,, and after either
charges and denunciations, they Sclose
their Presentment by recommending q
meeting to those opposed to Jackson aud
Van Buren,, TO be held ct Salisbury, on
the 18th Of May succeeding, and they ap
pointed Committee to prepare Resolu-
tions, to be submitted to The People on
the occasion; the first named of which
Committee, was thissame Burton Craige;
and they invite our Senators, Mangum
aud Brown, to attend the laeeting. The
