A we learn was in fact the author of the amendment
4 which was offered by Mr.. Walker, which was
adopted, and appended, as part of the bill, to the
Resolutions of Mr.. Milton Brown. He it was
who foresaw that the House Resolutions could
not pass and, by consulting with and appealing
to those democrats whose views Of duty would not
permit them to vote for those Resolutions, he pre-
vailed upon them to concur in the Texas Resoiu-
tions as amended afterwards. That amendment
was his, and it passed the Resolutions
The country has right to the history of this
great measure. North Carolina hes some claim
upon the Justice of an independent press, TO know
the full share taken by her honored Senator IN
rcscuing the democratic party from overthrow
and division, and saving the new administration
from the embarrassments which our defeat on
Texas must have created, and in protecting the
country from that perilous encounter which such
defeat must have produced. We take nothing
from the honor due to Senator Walker for his
great services in the cause of Texas but if our
own Senator is entitled to the enviable distinction
Of having saved Texas at its last gasp--if he or-
nnated the compromise which gave triumph to
the causc-how happens it that his name has not
been associated with his own work? If ii were
entirely delicate to Mr.. Haywood we would even
call upon him to address his felow-citizens, and
tell them of his services For the present, how
ever, we directly ask the Washington Globe to
give the history of this Texas measure, and let
not North Carolina or the nation remain Ignorant
of the full extent of our Senator's services in the
accomplishment of the greatest measure Of the
age. The intelligence of Mr. Haywoods eff
cent agency in it has not surprised at all, nor
will it surprise his friends in this State, who
know him we'll. But it does excite special
wonder how the public press should Withhold every
where from North Carolina Senator this great
honor when we learn, upon unqucstionable au-
,horiy, that Mr.. Haywood is indeed and in truth
entitled 10 claim it. f Fiat Justitia ruaE cozum"
CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.
1t is high time that our friends were moving in
the different Districts, and making preparations
for the approaching Congressional elections. We
ought to be we'll organizcd-acc mast hare uVion;
and all our candidates ought 10 be in the field by
the first of May. If every man will put his
shoulder to the wheel if every republican will
do his duty; if union and energy be the watch
words, md if we get strong men 10 bear up our
banners in the respective Districts, it is not ven
turing too much to say that we shall elect si1 de-
mocratic Representatives to the next Congress.
Thus far we hear but little from the Districts
1--WE beg our correspondents to write to us.} In
the Rowan District MIR Ellis is spoken of we
understand, rs the competitor of MIR. Barrnger
But the party will decide upon the man. A strong
candidate and active exertohs will, in our humble
opinion, defeat MIR. Barringer. In this (Wake)
District two meetings have been held-one in
Chatham, and one in Cumberland and there
seems to be determination to have Convention
at The earliest practicable period. Gen. Gotten,
understand, is already in the field. This will
not do No man has right 10 forestall or anti
cpate the will of the democracy
We have just received letter from leading
democrat in Orange-the pillar of the party in
that county. He says the party there desire a
Convention, and Meeting was to have been held
yesterday in Hillsborough to appoint Delegates.
His first choice is Mr.. Sydney Smith-his second
choice Gen. Daniel Qhe present most rcspectd-
bic and enlightened Representative but he will
cordially support as will the party there, the no:
tnnee of the Convention.
All will be we'll, we believe, in the Tarborough
District. A convention will be had, under
stand and whoever the nominee may be, he will
sweep over the District as MIR. Arlington did over
Tie ConquerOr in the last campaign.
We shall go to Orange, and be absent few
days, to recruit our health (which has bren some
what impaired by the arduous Iabors of the last
twelve months) and when we return we shall de-
vote more time and space to these matters. Mean
time we reiterate that saving democratic maxim :
Every thing for The eause-nothing for men,"
