Familiar as we have become, in our editorial ca
paclty Tor years, with the extravagances of party
we have never witnessed SO fragrant violation of
public honor and political justice as has been ex
hIbited by Governor Graham, in his recent ap.
pointments of the Staff Officers of our North
Carolina Regiment. Never have we known so
unanimous an outbreak of the honest enthus-
asm Of our people, as since those officers have
been announced. We speak in no party sense:
all men oil all parties in this region concur that
the grossest injustice has been done 10 the feelings
ofthose noble democrats, who have volunteered to
serve their country, and especially to Edgecombe
county.
Two facts are notorious:

ly of Democrats
End That Edgecomb county has furnished one

OF any want of patriotism but they have been
Iectared from Congress, and the State legislatures
and by neighborhood politicians, so coniinpally =,

Mexican war, that very few have volunteered
consequently the regiment is democratic-tho
roughly so: Now we put it to the plain sense of
every right-thinking man whether, under these
circumstances, the Governor should not have
selected the staff officers among the Democrats
