I'd, the central organ aud mouth piece OF
he Democratic party, operated upon by the
sadets Of that party, and carrying on, heir
ashes aud purposes. II was their design TO
ntImida;e the Governor of the Stale, If by r
ossblIiiy they could &c, him committed To &
reasonable scheme against the integrity OF {
he Union Of the States. They found him :.
IS firm and immoyable as the mountains Of +,
lis native land, and resolved to stand by the
honor and true interests Of North Carolina
But why did the Locofuco party demand
,ciion upon This subject in such hot haste by
our State legislature The period for the
settlement If The questions growing out OF
slavery in the Territories had no, arrived IN
til the meeting of the present Congress and
why was there so much necessity foI our be

hands aud what was any body 10 do at
Nashville, that the Governor should 0ct 80

The Democratic mind was satisfied that
crisis had srrived-aud the call vas made
upon the Governor IL The nature Of per.
emptory demand, eight or ten days only be.
ing allowed him 10 consider OF II, with the
purpose Of denouncing him If he failed 10
obey the orders Of The Locofoco party, issued
through their known and sccfedi ed organ!
The Whole tone OF that organ tended to
Disuaion. Professions o. attachment TO the
Uuion, we're proiusely made, but the diIoci
aim Of all lie appeals and arguments, as a
supporter OF The Nashville Convention, was
10 irrl,ale and influence the public mind 10
render the people dissatisfied with their Gov
ernmcnl and hostile to is continuance TO ex'
aspera;e their feelings, and excite their pre-.
JUDGES against the people of another section
Of our common country, and prepare their
niLis to expecithe catastrophe OF dissolution
Il vas :he constant aim OF the S'dndarS, not
only ediiorialiy, but 10 what lis columns we're
filed WITH TO deprecIale the vaiae OF the
Union, and exaggcrate the benz fits VI Disun-

present situation and What il would be IN case
of dissolution IN which il vas made to az

cents we're parsGed Cor he consideration and
contemplation Of The people; and doctrines
we're maintained which are calcu aed L.
overthrow the Government, and place the
several States in worse condition than the!
we're before he Revolution.
We know that many respectable members
Of The Uemocranc party were not prepares
to connec, themselves with any scheme that
could by possibilny bo converted into an en-
cine of treason to tie Union Hence the
scheme Of the Nashville Convention did 10,
succeed in North Carolna, notwithstanding
, The united voice Of the L'cofoco press IN lis
favor. The Wing party opposed II a nos to
a man. and all their presses but ore OF two,

death Since then, every body has beH' fy
