THE "GLORIOUS" WHIG PARTY

| wing meetings are always "glorlous good
Wings are always called, by way of emphasis,
+" true 8" Whigs-and an important demonstration by
some ten fifteen Wings. in behalf of some leader
who has managed to get himself in close and diff
cult place. is uniformly considered and reported as
thrilling, enthusiastic" and "iriceglorious." 1t
was in Randolph few days since. A meeting
held in Ashborough and the Editor Of the Regis
ter was written to. He was informed by his Cores
pondent-probably some young '' limb of the law''-
that it was thrice-glorious affair; that it was
large and enthusiastic that Gov. Manly was re-
nominated that Randolph would give him larger
vote than she ever gave any one before that it
"pleasant and spirited affair; that it was an
ular demonstration - that the Editor of the Herald,
who had been holding out against Gov. Manly, was
convinced and brought over to his support; and that
in short, all the particulars - would appear in the
Herald, and all the Delegates would be down at the
proposed Convention
We confess when We read the above that we felt
like giving up the contest; but concluded to wait
until we heard from the Herald. We thought there
might be some hope for the Democrats, and 80 we
held on. Well, we received the last Herald on Fri
day mornings and sure enough the Editor, who is not
to be humbugged every time by secular demonstra-
tons,'' blows this whole thrice-glorious castle Of
the Registers Correspondent sky high !-"sky high,
Sir, sky high! The Herald says:
SHOW easy it is to make great talk of small
matter To Judge from perusal Of the extract above
the extract from the Registers Correspondent one
would be ready to- conclude that the whole of Ran
dolph county had met in Convention. But for the
ociousness of the Registers correspondent in allu-
ding US, should have let the meeting in question
pass without remark. A meeting was held, but,
certainly could not be considered large" When the
fact is stated that knew of the meeting two
hours in advance, something like just idea may be
entertained Of the size Of the meeting. We are in
cned to think that dozen respectable partieipa-
ted in the meeting, and concede that they exercised
right which all free citizens possess. 1t is equally
true that as many respectable men present ,Uho
took part tUhoterer. The word when it req.
resents two or dozen individuals, may be properly
used. 1t is not true that the Herald is OUT or has
been out, against Gov. Manly. 1t is true that the
editor advocates one term, though he will not be nice
about its adoption in this instance. But for the large
promises which this correspondent makes, (Which
certainly suppose thourough acquaintance with our
people,) we should seriously question his being
citizen of Randolph. That ocular demonstration -
must have been amazingly great!
We have only to add what we have heretofore
expressed in substance that We will support Gov.
Manly or any other Wing whom the Wings of the
State may choose, and that we believe the Wings Of
dhuOIPn 10 De true 70 ther trusts. Ii the Reg lSterS
correspondent belongs to some neighboring county,
as 'Ve haze reason to suspect from his OiH sho0' it may
not be amiss 10 inform him that the people of Ram
doph too intelligent to be governed by the dicta
tion of few No such spirit characterized the meet
ing described
Thus vanishes another Z" thrice-glorious - Whig
bubble, and therefore will every "true" Wing of the
Centre lament and mourn. Somehow or other it is
not quite easy now, it used to be, manufacture
public Wing sentiment; and this melancholy fact is
to be found out. Certain Whig Editors,
who considered rather honest by calm observers,
and decidedly green by Wing leaders here at the
Centre, sciN speak out, and thus spoil the game.
There ought to be an agent appointed to visit these
Editors-some T. Butler King Of an agent, for in
stance, fully possessed of the views of the Centre,
and duly instructed to promise, threaten, cajoe.
AT any rate, some "d;stinguished Raleigh Wing "
ought to write to them as he has done the Editor
of the Asheville Messenger; and thus add the Civ
ings out of obscure Correspondents in the various
Counties, private Information and particular reasons,
not intended for the public eye.
