Democracy and Federalism.

MIR. EDITOR: We prepared this article for pub
lication some time since, but having misplaced it,
we forgot present it to you as soon as it should
have been but as it is never too late to refute ca
Iumny and correct misstatemcnts, we hope that it
may vet be in season.
We seldom meddle with political matters but
IN article in the Newbernian has drawn from US
the following remarks The article alluded TO
was taken from the New York Tribune, and conf
mences by stating that the word Democracy is a
national, and not party designation; that no
party, in a Democratic state, has an ereLusice
right to it that it is pure word in its general
use throughout the world, and that it has been
perverted and corrupted, in this country by poit-
ical sectarians; that the exclusive claim to it. by
any party, is fraud on the community that the
present selfstyled Democratic party did not sue
ceed to the old Democratic party; that the peo-
pie have been deceived by false names and false
positions of parties; that the Wings are'of the
true Democratic school, and the Locofocos Fed
eral
In the first place. we should like to see it prov
ed by the learned Editor, that we have no right
to the title of Democratic because it is national
appeIlation If we are Democrats in the true
Specification of the term, and an examination into
our principles will prove that we are, then we
have certainly right to the title. But, he says
that we have not the ezcIusiUe right to it: thus,
be admits thafwe have righ, to ii but not SO as
to exclude others from the same title. We admit
this provided there is. another in this country,
whose principles agree with the title. But,
there is no other, as will presently show, hence
we hare the exclusive right II we have assum-
ed this title, as he says have, it has often been
grossly violated; for how often have the Wings
honored themselves with the names, Democratic
Republican, " "Jefsrsonian Democrats &c2-
We agree with him when he says that the term
has been perverted and corrupted in this country,
by political sectarians, and that the people have
been deceived by false names and false positions of
parties The term has BEEN corrupted by secta-

than Bladen, in our revolutionary struggles. To
the first assemblage of patriots opposed to British
oppression, at Newbern, in August 1774, William
Salter and Walter Gibson were delegates; and to
the assembly that met the year following at Hills
borough, the same names with Thomas Owen.
Thomas Robson, jr. and Nathaniel Richardson,
the journals show were delegates. The first Re-
glment of Troops raised by the State, 1775. from
this County, were commanded by Thomas Robe
son, jr. as Colonel, Thomas Brown 1t Colonel,
Thomas Owen 1st Major and James Richardson
End Major. Recently, two interesting letters have
appeared in " The Independent" in this City, and
the Chronicle" in Wilmington, detailing an ac-
count Of the battle at Elizabethtown in July 1891
The wings, commanded by Col Thomas Brown,
attacked at night and routed three or four times
their force, consisting of Tories commanded by
Cois. slingsby and Golden, who both fell in the
engagement. Considering the state of the coun-
ty-for the whole country from Wilmington (hen
possession ofthe British 10 Cabarrus, was over

and the signal victory obtained by Col Brown,
marks this event as one highly Icreditable to our
country, and deserves a more permanent record

from oblivion the exerions of this distinguished

particular atfeeling towards Clay, OF because We
are Vexed at the probable success Of his tection.
eering trip for we do not believe, after all, that
he will gain many votes By IT,; the people know
him too well to be affected by the honeyed words
Of a smooth tongued orator. or the promises of q
man who belongs to party, which is noted for
making many promises, and for never fulfilling
them. Bot we do think that this conduct on the
part of the presidential candidate is calculated to
degrade the office of Chief Magistrate in the eyes
of the people, and 10 bring il into diSrepute.
But perhaps Clay is exeusable for this reason
that he has been rwies defeated by the votes Of
the people, and because he knows this to be his
only chance. If he be defeated this time, and he
will be most probably, his hope of ever being
President of this Republic is gone; and he will
go downto the grave disappointed man. We
hope however, that this proceeding, on his pafl.
will be discountenanccd' by the people, and that
it will not be considered as preced,nt for other
candidate to follow. Cannot he publish his op-
inions on the various important questions which
may be put to him by the people, and thus Et
them be known, without securing the whole
country in hopes of picking up few stray votes,
by pretty speeches. and pretty looks9 After alt
his travelling among the people and speech-Inal'
ing, he was obliged, it seems, to have recourse to-
this plan at last for he could not determine what

MIR. Editor, who is this Frelinghuysen whom the
Wings have put Upon their ticker as Vice-PreSi-
dent We judge that he must be pretty " large
coon" from the length of his name We believe
that he was once a seuator of the United States,
and fourished' about the time Of the removal Of
the depostes; and that is about the amesnl of our
knowledge concerning him; whether he is
proper associate for Clay-Aa whole hog Wing
or Federaiist--a protectiy thrift man, a nntibnal
bank man, and a distribution man; or whether
he is merely set up for the purpose of catching
the votes of certain State or certain portion Of
the people, as Tyler once was, We are not ablelo
say; if the latter we bid our " paricaIar friends"
bewarr, lest they catch another "tarthr."

Mr. Editor: am one who, upon the question
Of Annexation at least am unbiased by paIty,feel-
ings; for really, sir, know neither Mr. Clay's
nor Mr. Van Burcn's opinions upon this subject;
though do trust, and even believe, that the De-
mncratic party, as Americans, generally laves
the anne xation yet the views the PresidentihE
candidates upon the question, are entirely un-
known to me, and therefore l may escape vhe
charge Of party prejudice, for this communication.
h is; however, my intention to advance but one
idea upon this subject of annexation, The expo.
diency of the measure has already been expaliatod
upon, and that question seems really exhausted,
And to speak candidy the opponents of anpexa.
ton have upon this field been easily and effeetH-
ally routed. and seem finally to have pitched their
encampment upon the supposed unconstitutional
ty of the measure. This position too, seems to be
untenabIe. Recur 10 the annexation OF some Of
our present territory Louisiana, for instance.
The opponents Of this measure tell Us, that neces-
sity required our course in regard 10 Louisiana.
Sir, necessity requires similar course in regird
