The North-Carolina standard., 1845-10-29

great name blazed before you in the paths of vic
tory. He never deserted friend -he never de-
SPARED of his country-he never failed in his OBJ
ect, for he toied until the work was accomplish
ed. He lived democrat, and he died as he had
lived. You will assemble on the anniversary of
that day, which sheds so much lustre on his milf
tary fame You will come up to the Capitol
with JACKSON in your hearts, and with his prn-
ciples uponyour lips. You will not despond. for
to whatever point of the confederacy you turn
your eyes, there you will behold the results of his
energy, perseverance, boldness and sagacity. You
will remember his regard for the laboring classes
his struggle with the Bank, and his success; his
stern opposition to the encroachments of the Brit
ish power; his attachment to the cause of Texas,
and his desireto extend the sway of our flag and
the influence of our wise and liberal government; !;
his hatred of monopoles and exclusive privileges;
his affection for the Union of the States and his
tervent prayers for its continuance; and you will
go forth from the Convention so armed and girded
with the truth; and so united and determined in
your wills, that North Cafolina must and will
follow his own beloved Tennessee in the work of
political redemption. .-... III ...t
We again press upon our friends the import
ance of holding Meetings, as soon as practicable,
IN eUery County IN the State. Let full and strong
delegations be appointed, such as will promise to
attend the Convention, and such as aoiU attend.
Let there be no jealousies and heart-burnings be-
tween the different members of our party. Let us
forget that there have been Van Buren men and
Calhoun men, and unite heartily and cordially
upon principle What say the Cape Fear coun-
ties2 What says orange7 What Caswell, and
Rockingham, and Edgecombe, and Franklin, and
Ashe, and LncoIn2 What says the State2 Will
the West hold back2 Now is the time, obOve all
others, for her to put forth all her strength.
One word in regard to the nominations in the
respective Counties for the Legislature With
available nominations and with union and active
exertions in all the Counties we shall be able to
carry both branches of the Assembly, and thus Sc
cure democratic successor to Judge Mangum in
the United States Senate. We most respectfully
and earnestly caution our friends in advance
against the dangers of division. Wherever diff
culties may arise-wherever the friends of differ
ent gentlemen are contending for the field
wherever two candidates come forward for the
same post, let fair and full Convention of the
County be assembled, and let its decision be bind
ing upon all. Such state of things is not very
likely to occur in any County, but it is we'll to
guard against dangers, as the enemy is always
ready to profit by our divisions. And shall it be
said of the democracy of North Carolina, that
through distractions engendered among themselves
as the result of selfshness or personal ambition,
they have lost the Legislature when they might
have carried it, and thus cast away all opportuni-
ty to benefit the State2 Neverl We hold all
politicians, by whatever name they may be called,
to be enemies of the democratic party, who at
tempt to disturb its purity destroy its Organization,
or defeat its candidates. He is the true friend of
his party who stands by it amid its defeats as in
its Victories who cIings to its just and regular
systems of organization, and who, in all cases:
prefers its triumphs to his own ~
