GpoRGE S. STEVENSON. ESQ.

The Raleigh Correspondent of the North State
Wing retends to be horror-s:rcken at the idea that
Whig Solicitors SHOULD be turned out and Democrats
put In How long has it been since the Wing leaders
ceased to prefer their own men for Judges and So-
citorsq Or s0tea did they cease TODD so! Or when
will they. Never. There is this difference, howev-
er, and this goes their honesty They declare, be-
fore elections, that they will know no party-that
they will not turn out prescribe man because
he happens TO be Democrat; but after the elections,
they go right work and violate their promises just
as if they had never made them. The Democrats,
the contrary, boldly and openly hold to the doc
1rne, and the correct doctrine, that the party in pow
is entitled to select its agents to carry out
its principles. They say this before elections, and,
like who keep their faith, they practice it 1er
elections. That is the difference.
This Correspondent of the Wing. in saying that
George S. Stevenson is totally unfit for the Office"
of Solicitor, lies by wholesale, and he knows it..
Mr.. Stevenson is known to be sound lawyer for a
man Of his age; and his attachments are conceded
by the Wings here, to be of the most respecta-
BILE character. He is admirably qualified, in every
respect for the post to which he has been elevated
He has nothing TO fear from either the assaults of
the Wing, or its anonymous Correspondents. He
goes forward in the discharge of his duties, looking
with calm scorn upon the rawlings of that sheet
and the contemplate scribblers whose writings dis
grace its columns.

1t is not our purpose to defend these gentlemen
against the natured and vulgar assaults of the
State Wing. they need no such defence. A simple
statement of what the Editor of that paper says Of
them, is sufficient. Not having voted during the
present session in such way as to suit Dimock,
that Editor says that Mr.. Swanner is - fooL, and
MIR. Die kinson s. a scou1drel.'' Is that Wing ar
gpment2 1t is one of Dim ock's-but he is only
tolerated, we believe. in the Wing ranks.
These gentlemen are in fact complimented by these
ePithets from Dimock. Decent people would rather
have his curses than his praise. One of Mr. Stanys
tools, he has been taught to hate every man who
stands up for Southern rights; and though he back
guards Messrs. Swanner and Dickinson to-day, ac
cording to his own bad impulses OF as the result d
ORDERS yet he would praise them Tomorrow. if Stanly
only said the word. Such Editor is disgrace II

our Kidding ourselves of the free negroes. This we
should do, and as speedily possible. I think in
State or country where negro slavery exists there
should be no free negroes. They are for the most
part riing set of creatures, associating and traf
ticking with The slaves, and involving the slaves in
stealing and other bad habits. At this time, espe-
cally, it is doubly incumbent on us rid onrse yes
of this class of our population. They are no doubt
