ONE OF THE REASONS.

At the time our fundamental charters were a.
doped the the predecessors ohe present
Wings, struggled to incorporate into them aristo-
cratical and monarchical features. They failed,
and the Wings are now attempting to effect in
directly what the old Fcderaliss failed then to ac-
complish openly. The Federal Wings know
that, as the laws operate they can have no aris-
tocraticaI cstabishments-no perpetuation of titles
or estates-no prerogatives riding roughshod
over the shoulders of the sovereign people. Hence
they look to corporations corpora
tiOns. They know that here they can find bull
warks large enough and strong enough to shelter
them in all their misdeeds that here the corpora
tors are secure whilst the people defed. We
call upon the people to mark these men. Ask
one of them if he will consent to bind the private
property of individual corporators and he will
tell you NO. Why2 Because it would make
corporations responsible for their doings; and be-
cause, in that event, the people could not be so
easily cheated and defrauded This is one of the
reasons why the Federal Wings cling with such
remarkable tenacity to corporations They want
not to benefit the people, but the
means Of enrichmg themselves

n+The Editor Of the Recorder admits that
we opposed to direct taxation but nevertheless
asks us if we prefer direct taxation to a revenue
tariff We answer, once for ALL that we are the
advocates of revenue tariff and opposed to direct
taxation; that would SO lay the tariff with
reference to revenue purposes) as to impose, if
possible, high dutes upon articles of luxury used
by the rich, and low duties or no duties whatever
upon articles of prime necessity used by the poor
If the Editor will wait patiently however, we
make no doubt the democratic members of the
twenty-elghlh Congress will deliver an opinion up
on this subject which the rankcst Federalist will
be unable to misunderstood.

GENERAL REVIEW.

Brigadier General JAMES NJ. MANGUM, atten-
ded by his Aids, reviewed the two Regiments of
Wake County militia in this City, on Saturday
last. The whole affair passed off in fine style.
Captain STITH's new Company of Calvary E.
vnced extraordinary discipline, considering the
short period which has interviewed since the Com
pany was formed-indeed their whole appearance
was such as to command universal admiration
The Raleigh Guards too, looked WELL and went
through the exercises of the day with great pro-
proprety and spirit. Too much praise cannot be
bestowed on General MANGUM for his ardent mil
itary spirit and the deep interest he takes in every
thing which concerns the condition of our mill
tia Nor should we omit to mention Col. JOHN
H. MANLY, of the 35th Regiment. He was e.
quipped in gallant style, and, in the language
of cotemporary "proved himself every inch a
soldier"

FOR THE PUBLIC.

In the Register of the 10th of October, article over
the signature of ''Veras' met my day two af
ter its publication, assailing myself politically for which
was regardless; and at the time, diving into the
of private house, for the sole purpose of
uacturing atrocious SANDER, which it supposed
might affect me ally and politically The grossness
of the assault, rendered it imperative duty that
should drag the william from his hdng-pace and there
fore called on the Editor of the Register Mr. Weston R.
Gales, for the author When the demand made Mr.
Gales replied that he did not know who the author was
and that he absent when inserted He furth-
stated, that he would enquire in the Office and went
into his Printing room for that purpose. He returned
saying that he did not know who the author was bringing
the commun cation with him. IL asked irhe knew
the hand writing. He replied he did not. He was then

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION

DLNAOCA1AA W - "A -
We are authorized to state, by the Wake Cor
responding CouAniltee of the Democratic party
that thew have, iA pursuance of the 5th Resolu
ton of the Wake Meeting, determined Oh
EE,..rsa:,y the k4fh OF December next,
as the dav for holdiho the Democratic State Con-
vention in this Cily}
The objects for the accompl plishmcnt of which the
Convention is TO assei inhIr, have been generally
discussed and so ably anl succncty set forth, that
we deem it quite unnecessary to advert to them on
this occasion. Thus far, a large number of the
counties in the Commonwealth have held Meet
ings and appointed Delegates to the Convention
but there are others which as yet have held no
Meetings. To these we would say-not as an
adviser, but as a friend to the good cause-hold
your Meetings forthwith, speedily rs pos
sible; let no means be neglected to arouse and
organize the democracy; and be sure to send to
the Convention large and energetic delegation.
We desire to see the great West here in lis full
power Our strength lies in that section; let it be
fit in the nomination for Governor, and In all
other movements which may be deemed essential
to the triumph of democratic principles. Nor
should the East hold back LIT it come up also;
anl let what is done at Raleigh be hailed and sane
toned with equal enthusiasm uron the Catawba
and the waters Of AlbCmaile. For our fellow
citizens may be well assured, that both at the Con-
vention anil before the people, after final steps
shall have been taken, we shall 6nl no room as Il
party for the indulgence Of any other spirit than
that Of harmony, and high, perscvering, energetic
action. Harmony once attained

enthusiasm which our cause is SO well calculated

powered and our banners torn and scattered TO the
winds

of 1910 have been broken by the efforts
If the leaders; and although the cider has died

.WAKE CLAY CLUB"

Well. The old ball is about to be walked up
and set a going. The Wings of Wake have re-
solved to organize Clay Club" to meet, we
suppose, at 'the usual place" We sincerity hope,
for the honor ofthe City, that they will demean
themselves with more propriety than they did in
1910. Things are omniOus however, as Col,
Barringer would say; for we perceive that the
" acery same" gentleman who made the motion
for the formation Of the Harrison Club in 1910,
is the maker Of the motion in the present instance
" To take this fore and leave that hind ~ it does
indeed, look little appalling AT any rate, we
wish to see no more bowie knives and hard-cider
We wish to witness no more acts in desecration of

City on Gods day, and disturbing public worship

I@ The Editor of the Register, MIR. Badgers
man, says the Editor of the Standard has been
caned or deserves to be caned. This miserable
mock k-bully would no doubt like to see others do
what he would shrink from himself This is the
way with federalism. 1t never argues, but it
denonnces; and when 1t cannot put man down
by denunciation, it resorts to physical force
There is no danger to be apprehended, however,
from the Editor. He has learned his notions of
honor in the Badger school and he who takes
lessons from such an instructor would not hesitate,
should occasion offer, to leave his friend dead tp-
on the field Of honor. And such man to talk
about Gaming an independent Editor

Political ParS0ns.-Tn looking over the list of
delegates appointed by the late Whig Meeting
in this countyto the State Convention we perceive

method, to array on its side the members of any
peculiar church or denomination, cannot be too
severely censur i.

y The Federal Wings are cnlcavoring 10
array the growers of tobacco the side of 4
Protective Tariff: They tell them that England
lays high duty on tobacco, and that we ought to
retaliatc by imposing high duties on British goods
Now what does this argument amount to- 1t Il
mounts to this: England lays a high DUTY on
our tobacco; in doing SO she perpetrates wrong
IRE ought to initiate England in laying high duties
on her products, aad commit wrong because she
does. The truth is, and the Wings ough TO be
honest enough to admit it, never prevail
on England to reduce her high duties on tobacco,
by raising our duties on her productions. Some
country must take decided stand in favor of low
tariffs; and what country is better able to do so
than this2 England has no desire to keep off
our tobacco; but she must hare an enormous re-
venue and by taxing tobacco, among other arti-
clcs, to the highest point, she obtains it.

THE. COMPROMISE ACT.

In the campaign of T84O, the democratic par.
Ity predicted tKat if the wings went into power
the compromise act Of 1888, by which the taxes
on the people were to be reduced, wouldbe viola
ted. What did the Wings Of North Carolina
say in reply to this prediction2 Hear Ms BadgeT
their leader and organ. In his Granville speech
he asked, "Why is the subject of the tariff brought
forward at all2 1t was settled years ago by the
Compromise Act. Who proposes to disturb III
Who desires to increase the dutics2 Certainly mel
ther Gen. Harrison, NOR ANY OF HIS FRIENDS"
"Who proposes to disturb it?" 1t aeas disturbed;
was broken up 6y The Wing party, and the duties
raised from twenty to an average of forty or fifty
per cent. These are facts We state them, and
defy contradiction. Will any of Mr. Badgers
friends attempt to disprove them? Will any FEEDER
al Wing attempt to show that George E. Badger
did not play the demagogue in making that speech
That he did not promise what he knew the great
whig party would never fulfil? And for what?
To get votes; to elect Harrison, that he an old
Federalist and hater of the people, might gel
an office under the Federal government

October II. 1913.

HsIt appears that our articles IN relation to
the Log-cabin campaign are unpalatablc to the
Editor Of the Register. He must endure them,
for we have Just commenced We had our eye
on him during that campaign, and we marked the
low attempts he made to humbug the people. He
saws however, that we were an active. participant
in that campaign. we denyi It, The charge is
false. We were present, it is true, on many occa-
sions at the log-cabin, and we witnessed the Oc-
tober scene but like hundreds of others, we
went for the purpose of seeing and hearing, and
much-very much were we edited, + We saw
the Editor himself, deep in the mysteries of hard
cider, and surrounded by gourds and coon-sklns
and we heard him make speeches unworthy Of
the lowest demagogue. We saw and heard Mr.
Badger ALSO Yes, he 'stnoped to conquer
flung away, for moment, his contempt for the
people, and begged for votes. He succeeded. All
the honors in the Wing campaign in North Car
olina enured to him ; and he must take a large
sharge of tine disgrace which properly belongs to
that campaign. He must take it, because he went
into the work of dccciving and misleading the
people, with his eyes open; he must take it,
because he pulled the wires and the puppets-hIs
tools and ub-leaders-danccd; he must take it,
because he is the very man above all others who
sought honor by disgraccful means; but he must
not take it alI-lhc honor must be shared lest it
weigh him to the earth.
We were in the log-cabin campaign, and, for
sooth, we must hold our tongue; we saw the Ed
itor of the Register make hims If ridiculous, but
we must not tell OH him; we kaO'c that the peo-
pie were deceived in that campaign, but If we ex-
pose those who deceived them then, and who are
still careless of their welfare, we arc denounced
branded as an hircling Editor! Then Let them
dcnouncc! We care not. We are writing--la-
boring for the people. Before God and in the
sight of men, we believe the cause of democracy

man power shalt prevail to sill. ncr lis.

G%The last Register is extremely abusive in
its tone towards US. The Editor attempts to be
personal in the most offensive sense. He and
his party are evidently smarting under the lash
we applied to them last week; but above ALL we
committed the objectionable sin, if we have not
already committed it, by speaking lightly of Mr..
Badgers head Now be it known, that this gen
tleman is better known to us than either he or his
friends suspect; that we have tocts at onr COM
mand, which, if presented, would place him IN
his true light before the public; and that the as
sumed boldness and unblushing impudence of his
tools may not screen him from the excoriations he
deserves
