TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.

The Old North State Clay Whig paper
published at Elizabeth City, is evidently dssats.
fed with the unfair and ungenerous course"
pursued BY the Wings Of Wake county. Speak
ing ofthe approaching Wing Convention it says
s.We hope our friends will appoint Delegates to said
Conventions but must say that the Hgeerous and ,n
course pursued by the Wings of Wake County make
It of very little consequence whether they do or not
The Wings of that County held meeting on the 9Th
inst, and in the strongest terms recommended their
" respected and patriotic fellow-cltizen, CHARLES
MANLY, Esq Candidate for Governor and TO car
Ty out their recommendation far possible they ap-
pointed Committee of One Hundred and Fiffy Seven
course, to vote for Mr.. M This at once secures the
nomination of that gentleman
There is ssomething to admire, it must be con-
fessed, in the spirit of this Editor He kicks up
and well he may-against the doingsof the lead
ing Wings of Raleigh. He shows what he feels
that the Wings in other portions of the State
are required to pass under the rod-to submit to
the dictation of George E. Badger and his irstru
ments. In relation to the nomination for Govern.
or, the matter, we believe, stands thus: Mr. Badc.
er prefers Edward Stanly above all others; but
his second choice is Charles Manly; and if he
should see, by the time the Convention assemblies
that Mr.. Stanly's chances for success are good he
will attempt to transfer the vote of Wake from
Mr.. Manly and throw it for his favorite If, how
ever, Stanlys chances should be deemed utterly
desperate, every thing necessary to secure the
nomination Of his second choice will have been
accomplished; for who does not know that-all
under currents and Badger influences set aside
the Wings of Wake would prefer Mr.. Manlv2
And what will the friends of Messrs Shepard,
Joyner, Kerr and others, be able to accomplish
against 157 delegates
Since writing the above we have seen the com.
ments of the Register on the article of the sold
North State" They are melancholy enough
and such reasons for appointing that tremendous
delegationl He says "the Convention is to sit
at Raleigh" Who doubts it2 And that the
Wake county Wings appointed large body for
the purpose of providing for the comfort of de.
legates from a distance. This means, we SUP.
pose, that no man who is not delegate from
Wake county is to be permitted to administer to
the comfort of representatives from other coun-
ties He says something, also, about the name of
the county, and gives it as his deliberate opinion
that the large delegation was appointed for the
purpose of proving that the Wings here were
/" aide awake" Query. Is the Editor of the
Star included underthis head2 Query If Wake
aoakes ZIP all Of a sudden, and appoints I57 dele
gates, how many delegates ought Orange 10 ap-
point when she acokes up? Query. Will the Re
gister be kind enough to inform his brothers of
the " Old North State" and g Carolina Watch
man why the Wake Wings appointed so many
Political Parsons delegates TO the Convenion2

a HUMBUG.E

We believe II was Mr. Willis, the celebrated
poet and pleasant lettef-writer, who defined hum.
bug to be take-in If this definition be correct
then was the late Wing Congress the most com
plete humbug that ever bnzzed inthe ears of the
people for it took them IN from the first to the last
In the outset, the members of it, who seeking
office for themselves and friends, made promises
which circumstances GO to prove they shadno idea
! of fulfilling Every where the people were TAX
en- in. In one section they came out for, and in
another against, a National Bank in some sec
tions they favored the aboltonsts and in others de-
nounced, their mad schemes with towering indig-
nation; here they promised revenue tariff, and
there high tariff, and consequent increase, as
they said of the wages ofthe laborer every where
they played the game fdeception, and-the result
was Aum6kgl bum6ugf Congress assembled
And what did they do7 They passed in one
breath law to distribute the proceeds the pub
c land sales, and in the next breath suspended it,
They passed law 4aaking an absolute gift OF
about fire millions Of acres ofthe public lands to
the newa States they run the nation in debt more
than twenty millions of dollars, and at the same
time doubled1he taxes on the people, they declaim-
cd against the union of the purse and the sword,
and by repealng the independent Treasury law,
did what they had so long and loudly deprecated !;
they passed Bankrupt Law which enabled dis
honest debtors to pay honest creditors by hard
swearingthey labored-to thwart every thing which
their President attempted TO perform, and sought
by every measure they could think of, 10 make
his administration ridiculous and weak in the eyes
of the people they remained together longer than
any Congress had done before them, and drew
more money for their own pay from an exhausted
treasury, than any Congress that, had preceded
them; and in the strong and just language of
"aier all their miserable and wicked
schemes, they succeeded alone in making them
selves truly contemplate, and the only gratfca-
ton the people have experienced from them is,
that they have at last ceased to exist" This is
what we call humbug-a complete take an. Do
the people want any mere of these hunlbugs2

The Editorofthe Star is evidently stung by
our ailaeions to political parsons and the Log
Cabin Campaign. We are glad of it, IF he is
properly eo"Uteted, he may yet repent But how
can AN he, with aselfapproving consciencea as the
Register says stand up now and taunt others with
what he deems Inconsistency Within the last
fifteen years he has been in every party, and ad-
'vocated the pretensions of almost every public
man. Will he dare deny this charge2

Hold Back !-The facetious Editor of the Mil
ton Chronicle says if the Wings should run for
Governor all the candidates put in nomination, that
he wfilsbe the only man left to vote He begs
ms friends also not to put him in nomnation-say
he prefers fishing in the Dan to sitting in the
Gubernatorial chair. We advise these nomina-
tors to hold back. Every County cannot make if
exactly eonvenientsto send 157 delegates 10 the

times, to the Editor of the Fayetteville Observer
inasmuch as that gentleman has free and regular
access to all the Cotton Factories about Fayete-
Vile, as well as the privilege of putting down

The Raleigh Sta5ardhas corrected its error in re-
gard 10 Mr. Clay 1t asserted that he had been
by c Kentucky Legislature to vote against the Bank
rnPt Law. and that he dsobeyed the Instructions Mr.
Clay, In his Indiana Speech states that hewas
structedat all by The Legislature that subject. We
called upon the Standard to correct the 1t as
do so. Is that honesty is it not gross deceit
Fayetteville Observer.
Our recollection of the matter is this, and we
believe we are correct The Resolutions of In
struction passed the House of Representatives OF
Kentucky by large majority-pe perhaps unanim.
ously but through the extraordinary efforts Of
Mr.. Clays friends, they were arrested in the Sen,
ate, by very small vote. Mr. Morehead, the
colleague of Mr.. Clay. believing the action of
the House to be tantamount to Instructions from
the Legislature, and knowing the State of Ken
lucky TO be opposed to the Bankrupt Law, voted
to repeal that law; and, if we are not greatly
every member ofthe House from Ken
tucky voted with2 Mr.. Morehead 1t is proper
to state however, that no instructions merely from
a State could have bound Mr. Clay, inasmuch as
he was considered the Senator of the Union !!
Kentucky, the=State that raised him and made
him what he is could not make him respect her
voice when he abandoned the Republican party
and disgraced himself by voting against Gen.
Jackson and subsequently, taking office under Mr..
Adams, We make these statements, and ask the
Observer to sboao something to the contrary.

~ The Editor ofthe HilIsboroupb Record

~ The Edirpr of the HilIsborough Recorder
says the Standard is undermined to oppose the
tariff because it was passed by the Whig party !,
He does US great injustice. We oppose the tariff
because it is unequal unjust and oppressive in its
operation because It protects the peculiar interests
of the North at the expense of the peculiar inter-
estsof the South and West; and because, among
a hundred other enormiies, it lays a high duty
upon articlrsconsumed by the poor, and a low
ddty, orpo duty at all, upon articles of luxury
psedby the rich. The Recorder is out of the
secret when he thus charges US with undiscrinin-
ntIug opposition to public measures Perhaps he
judges Us by the sentiments he finds ia. his own
heart 9

THE DEMocRATIc STRENGTH.


In 1886, Mr.. Van Bnren got the Electoral votes
of Maine, NewHampsbife, Rhode Island, Con
necticut, New-York, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
North Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Miasissippi
Arkansas, Missouri, and IlIinois--making l67.
General Harrison received the votes OF Vermont
New-Jersey, Delaware, Maryland. Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky-73. Judge White got the votes
ofGeorgn and Tennessee-26; Mr.. Webster the
vote of Massachusehs-14; and Judge Mangum
that of South-Carolina--11 Making an united
vote of the elements in array against Mr. Van
Buren of 124. In this State in 1886, the White
ticket was run and supported by the present Wings
in opposition to Mr.. Van Buren,; but in other por-
tions the country, Harrison united the Clay
Wing strength. That election was another test of
Mr. Clay's strength, made under circumstances of
the most favorable character to him. He, running
under four different names was left in the rear IS
votes.
In 1870 taking the statement of the Mobile
Register, which is no doubt correct-the aggrc-
gate popular vote, with the exception Of South
Carolina, where the Legislature dsposes of the
popular voice, was as follows:
General Harrison, 1,274,783
Mr. Van Buren, 1928. .7O2

Here, then, popular majority against
Mr. Van Buren Of only l46,o8l votes And he
lost 90 electoral votes by sixteen thousand four

votes-by Al majority; New York-42 votes
by Il, 5,329; New-Jersey-8 votcs-by 2, 1928; and
Pennsylvania30 votes-by 343 majority. And
yet we hear men talking about the aOeaness of the
democratic party. The truth is, threefourths of
the people of this country are democrats. Take
the hands of power off them remove from them
the influences of scrub-street politicians, and 81
len0e the Federal hes invented in villages and ci
ties. and the fact will be disclosed
