THE WHIG PARTY AND THE WAR.

MR. EDIroR: What strange position do we find
the Whig party assuming The President was de-
Consttuton-as making the War. He was abused
for cowardly cringing, when he submitted to the
Senate essettuement of the Oregon dispute ;<and
again, with cruel rashness and inhumanity, in Yag-
ing a upon weak and imbecile Mexico, without
consulting Congress.sHe charged with base
party considerations in precpitating the war; and the
constituted authorities of the country were heldup
to public Indignation guilty of aggression upon
Mexican rights, and desiring to make conquest OF
Mexico to glorify party. "The poor Mericans were
weak and feeble. To be sure, we had some right to
complain of some outrages on their part; yet our
country wrong and they were right as to the
cause which produced the conflict. 1t IS the Presi-
dents tcGr, and upon him must rest the responsibility
of all the odiunl-all the debt-all the horrors and
caamities of the strife. We are prosecuting this
of aggression, which must end in blotting Mexi
CO from the family of nations, and introducing into
political community population which will sub
vert our liberties and dissolve the Union Such were
the arguments and denunciatons used by the Whig
leaders last summer. These were the professions
of patriotic devotion to the country-were they sim
cere! Or were these charges made up and promul-
gated to obtain party ends? Was 1t expected that
these patriotic gentlemen, who went for their country,
and who solicitous to separate the country
from the President; who professed such holy horror
of war, who rode into Office through the sympathy of
the electors for the widow the orphan, and the poor
1Ueak Mericans would not exert every constitutional
power with which they were clothed, to put the
country in the right, and end this UNNATURAL aggres-
sive, and unconstitutional war;! Bet what have
we recently seen! Resolution proposing to with
draw our army, and settle the difficulty upon the
terms which they said all we ought to claim is
coldy rejected in the House of Representatives by
vote of 1877 to Al and of the Whig Representatives
from this State but ono (Mr. Boyden,) is found in
the affirmative!
Is Wing morality and honesty that we shall persist
in doing ,Urong? This conduct of these Whig men,
bers is quite gross inconsistency the late
Speech of the Honorable Senator from MARYLAND.
who contends, in part of his remarks, that Mex
CO is alone responsible for all the consequences of
the conflict, and in another that the President en-
tirey be censured for the blood and treasure
pended in the war. a.. ,e,:,
In contrasting their professions with their Practices
this, all other questions, the conclusion cam
not be avoided that the Wings are liableto the SAME
condemnation they mete to others and that amid all
their loud professions of devotion to the country the
means they employ to achieve party triumph prove
their contempt for the ntegence of the people, and
their utter disregard of political moral consistency.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.


We have heretofore published the proceedings
of Democratic Meetings in several Counties, and
to-day we lay before readers the proceedings In
Wayne and Caswell. The Resolutions adopted by
these Meetings breathe the right spirit. They evince
to the world that the Democrats of North Carolina
though apparently in minority, determined new
er to give up the contest, but to "fght on until
victory shall have crowned their efforts.
From information derived from all quarters OF the
State, we believe that the Democratic party is anx-
ious to assemble in Convention and have no hes-
tation in giving it opinion that Convention
ought be held 1t is Important for several reasons
that the Convention should be held at later period
than usual and the Democrats of Wayne, it will be
seen, have suggested Wednesday, the 18th day Of apriL
We do not know that better time could be selected
and if our friends throughout the State should be
pleased with the day indicated by the Wayne De-
mocracy we hope they will the fact in their
primary Meetings, that there may be perfect un-
derstanding on the subject on all hands. ,
Should the 18th of April be agreed upon as the
day, ample time will be afforded to the Democrats in
all the Counties to hold their Meetings and appoint
Delegates; but the the work is generally be-
gun the better for the cause We hope, therefore,
that the example presented by Lenoir, Lincoln,
Wayne, Rockingham, and Caswell will be at once
followed up and that shall have the largest and
most imposing Democratic State Convention ever be-
fore assembled in North Carolina.

MIR. BADGERS SPEECH.

Mr.. Badger addressed the Senate on the 18th in
stant for upwards of two hours in opposition to the
Ten Regiment Bill. He charged and endeavored to
prove, in the of his remarks, that the Mexi-
can War unconstitutiOnuity commenced by Presi-
dent Polk and he avowed it his determination to
vote against the bill under consideration.
No unprejudced man read this Speech and es-
cape the conviction that it designed to be just
what it is-an elaborate ereuse, the part Of Mr..
Badger, for his rOtc against supplies. In thus taking
his stand against supplies, and in imputng inten-
tons to the President which that unctonary distinct
ly and emphatically disclaims, Mr.. Badger throws
himself, as North Carolina Senator, into very
strange company. Senators Hale, Corwin, and Web
ster may feel gratfed at his course, and may COM
mend him for his steadfast adherence to Whg prin-
cipes but will his conduct meet the approval of the
people of the State he represents!
For week or two past we have watched with
some interest the movements of Messrs. Badger and
Mangum, and we have them gradually taking
grounds, not only against any further supplies, but
against indemnity for the past and security for the
future. What influence Mr.. Clay's personal pres
ence may have had them do not pretend to
surmise; but we learn, upon good authority, that
since the great embodiment arrived at Washington,
marked change has taken place in the conduct of
number of leading Wings. Of course it is not for
to advise these Senators-that is the duty of
the Whig presses and of the people in their pri-
mary assemblies. If Mr.. Badger thinks he sue
cessfuly occupy the Lexington Platform in North
Carolina, justify himself at home for vote which
looks neither to vigorous prosecution of the war
to the withdrawal of the army, but to continu-
ance of the present state of things in Mexico,
which he processes much to deprecate-let him
go on. The people will through his excuses and
apologies and will estimate them at their true value.
Mr.. Badgers Speech, it is said, was intended,
among other things, hit at General Taylor, for
he based his attacks upon the President upon the
forward movement of the army from Corpus Christi
and that movement, it is well known, advised By
Gen. Taylor. Mr. Clay was present, and listened to
the Speech with great gusto. "Straws show which
way the wind blows.''

QUITE A MISTAKE.

The New York Express, noticing the policy OF
Virginia in relation to small notes, says:
For some years past, Virginia has been inundated
with small, greasy, nasty looking and two dol
lar bank notes from North Carolina and Maryland
because Loco Focoism, dominant in the Virginia Le-
gislaturs, banshed all small bills made by its own
banks. The out-of-fhe-Statc small bank notes have
become valuable for change, and much cher
shed, that the of them, buried they often
in the negro pockets, is any thing but sweet-and so
dangerous to shake with them.''
The truth is the very reverse. North Carolina is
" inundated" " with small notes from Virginia, and
should probably not miss the mark far if were
say, that people lose at least thousand dol
lars per by the and tear of these notes.
There " one and two dollar" notes issued in
North Caroina-so the {" nasty'' little fling of the
Express at this State falls to the ground. AS to the
' savor" of these small bills-whether issued by
Maryland or any other State-we unable to speak
with certainty but should think, buried they
often in the negro pockets" that they would
smell sweet in the nostrls of the negrolovng friends
of the Express in New York and Massachusetts. The
Editors of the Express would do well to obtain the
facts, before they let off any of their wit at the
expense of orth Carolina That article Judging from
the greasy looking columns of that Journal is quite
precious about Atheir establishment; and " COM
mend them - in the language of their great idol,
Daniel Webster, /" to prudent husbandry of their
resources"

THE OREGON sPEoTAToR.

We are indebted to Mr.. Hugh Burns, formerly Of
this City and now resident of Oregon Territory for
several copies of the Oregon Spectator published IN
May, June, and July last. The Spectator is quitO'
small paper, but it is very neatly printed and
tains many articles of interest 1t is published in
Oregon City, and edited by George L. Curry. We
give few items, to show our readers how they do
things in Oregon:
"THE ELECTION. AS soon as the secretary of the
territory shall have received the official returns of the
recent election, and shall have opened them, we will
give the same to the public. We have reason to be-
lieve, however, that Gov. Abernethy is reelected by
small majority"
Gov. Abernethy's competitor was Mr.. A. L. Love
joy, Speaker of the House of Representatives, AOr
ney at Law, &c., and, Judging from the Spectator
considerable man in Oregon.
We find nothing in later papers to Justify tho
rurnor, which we published in another column, con-
eernng the extension of the Jurisdiction of the United
States over this country and the appointment of Judge
Semple as Governor. We are still strong in hopes
however, that the last Congress did not adjourn with
out having made the necessary provisions for aO

such as Hustled, Wilson, Skinner, Moss, Flint

Inc last weldon Herald, IN pressing the claims
of Col. Andrew Joyner for Governor, indulges in
the following:
"Place Col Joyner before an Intelligent assem-.
blage, and few men can compete with him in deca.
nation. In stump speech, he produces greater e.
feet than any man we have heard In many a long
day. and the effect is GlvGys farora6k to the speaker
Where he is best known Col. Joyner is most pOpu.
lar, and those with whom he has been closely assC
ciated for long period of years. believe him to bs
worthy of any trust, be it what it may
Col. Joyner, according to the Herald, is not only
able to compete" with almost any body in dsca.
nation, but the beauty of the thing is, that the e
speaker" Is not that wonderful? The Colonel
ought to have the nomination, and no mistake; and
indeed, not only the nomination for Governor, but
the Presidency, or a seat on the Supreme COut
Bench, other post of equal dignity, for he is
:" believed to be worthy of any trust be it what it
may.''
P. S. How did the Editor of the Herald happen
to overlook Charles N Webb, Esquire, of the Rosr
oke Republicans That gentleman is, we believe
not only great man, but Justice of the Peace
and he spell almost any word in the dictionary
Let Webb be sounded upon the winds, and our word
for it there would be sensation among the "dg
bones" of Whiggery. We know that Mr.. Gales
of the Register has declined to run for Governor
account of the smallness of the salary but that fur
nishes reason in Mr.. Webb's case. He is man
of wealth, it is said and what is quite as important
if he has not parted with that old fiddle he adver
ed for sale year back, he might bring it out
to Raleigh to make music for the "b'hoys." Mr.
Webb, we believe, has also In his possession the
straw through which the Wing leaders sucked cidsr
in 1s4O and that might be brought and deposited
with the State archives as precious relic. Hunah
