The North-Carolina standard., 1846-03-25
"To ARMS! TO ARMS /"

| Our PerquImons Correspondent, S0pHOcLeS,
will have learned by the last Standard that hi
earnest wishes have been met-that we have
Democratic Candidate for Governor, who will
canvass the State most thoroughly, from Chero
kee to Currituck. In his communication of the
first instant: he aludes to the terror struck into
the Whig ranks in his region by the nomination
of Mr.. Caldwell, and their subsequent joy, when
they heard he had declined He saws
late Sir the Mhigf = in Ibis asclnH
feat In torIy-foUr surprised them but their defeat
10 TINS District for Congress in forty five, as |
neard prominent Wing say, was such complete
ticking that they did not know how to take IT,
And, Sir, to my certain knowledge. when Mr.
Caldwell was announced the Wings had strong
doubts about carrying the State, especially as Gov
Graham is not very popular this tIon Sir,
let US have Candidate for Governor There are
many men in our State who would honor the Of
tion."
Our correspondent then proceeds to make a
most eloquent appeal to the Democracy of North
Carolina, to rouse up and commence the glorious
contest We unite with him in that appeal. We
point to the signal victories achieved by the dem
ocracy of the Union in 1874; to the political
Of Tennessee, and to our proud tri |
umphs in Georgia and Louisiana; to the nroads |
we made upon the Wings in this State, in the late
Congressional elections, gaining as we did hun
ireds upon hundreds of votes in the Ninth Third. |
md Second Districts, and leaving them behind
lere, under the lead of Mr. Dobbin, more than
Wo thousand votes; to the unexampled success
which attends the course of the Administration
nd to ITS popularity in all quarters to the un-
Oubte0 he
re coming over to the Democratic side and we
'ouId most respectfully ask in view of all this,
'heher we have not the best reasons for hoping '
lat we shall carry both the Governor and the :
at the August cections2 WHY labor a
secure the Legislature, and not the Governor,
the Governor, and not the Legislature2 Both \
e equally important, and without both the a
'mocratic party will be unable to carry out its a
easures. In this opinion we are sustained bv =,
e action Of the late Convention, by the nomina. VI
IN just made by the Democratic State Com II
htee, and by the voice of the party coming up al
US from all quarters of the State And now. S
the language of our opponents, let US 90 vig- 81 81
0usty to work" We have Candidate who will ar
his duty-let US do ours Let US resolve. and r
us carry out that resolution, that the sun of pc
tg~st shall d0pn upon North Carolina n as
'mocr0tic Stale. n
we would again say to our Republican friends da
lat we said in February last Commence the hi
ID work forthwith. Let your organization be stu
rough, effective, complete. Bring out in every
unity your strongest men for the Legislature pa
n as can meetthe federal leaders upon the stump w
expose their ruinous principles and their sell wh
mess to the indignation OF the people, Bring ma
yowr strongest men, whoever they may be wit
let past differences be forgotten IN one ardent at
0csrr~ting desire for SUCCESS Let no ties
1nty go uncanvassed; and wherever our wit
nds disagree as to the candidates, let Conven unt
be called to heal all breaches and unite the Th
locratic strength. Let the Wing people be we
ealed to and reasoned with; and above all let dist
mate together, in all things, as one man I'M the
ION THERE is STRENGTH nIc
We nave bestowed much reflection upon the pri.
Ter, and the result of that reflection ;s tho An
