MODERN DEMocRAcY.--Wth Wing
msjority of TEN THOUSAND in North
Carolina, the Locofocos have, by means
OF the unfair arrangement Of the Districts,
elected majority Of the members of
Congress. This is an Illustration Of The
sincerity Of the Locofocos' protested de-
votion to the will Of the majority of the
people. Ii demonstrates how hollow and
hypocri,ical is that profession; tina, they
desire nothing so little as full and fair
expression and representation OF the pop
ular wish; that place and power are all
they desire, and to obtain them, they do
not scruple to violate all rules of fairness
and Justice, and outrage the great funda-
mental principle Of Repu blicanism.-

now DOCTORS DIFFER!

The Enquirer, by way oil giving home
thrust to Mr.. Calhoun, publishes the fol-
lowing:
One more remark upon the letter of "a
Virg'nian;" and then we will BID him n
most respectful adieu. He contends, that
'the politicians and some Of the leading
press, Of the country, are enlistt d ~ the
surpor, Of Mr.. Van Buren," but that the
pc pie, the mass S. are ag inst him. Now
this is the very remark that we have fire.
quently heard made in relation to Mr..
Calhoun-and is singular, taat letter
which we received TWO days ago, from
the very Congressional District, from
which "a Virgiuian" halls, uses the fol
lowing language: "lf the people of our
District have fair play, they viii by to
send Van Buren, Delegates II feel sure,
that the Calhoun men in thi, District are
only politicians--aud not tho common
mass Of the Democracy, who know they
have been wronged anG cheated out of
their man, by the most foul and disguised
means--and are anxious and eager to pun
ish the fraud practised against him, who
has proved as firm, las Jackson) impartial
anG true to the Constitution as any of
Americas best men, who have preceded
him."
The Enquirer is determined to ''sink or
swim" with the "sweet little fellow. -
"Justice TO Mr.. Yam Burea" is its battle
cry. The people sh.l Il swallow him, how.
ever dis:astrful TO them he may be; i. e.
if the Enquirer can make them. But was
there ever greater piece OF arrogance
and contempt for the people than is lnvol-
we'd in this dicta,onl "A man who was
reiected--upon full and fair exhibit of

Their Threats? The Democracy must be
more servile in spirit than we take

ed tendency so to raise the prices Of all
manufactures, that we could never export
any until it should be repealed. Yet, in
