North Carolina.

Every "Democralic" paper in this
State is opposed to the Compromise, and
some of these papers are as ultra for
Disunion as the most rampant Secession
papers of South Carolina; for instance,
the Charoieffe Hornets Nest, the Ra-
leigh Standard, the Wiiming fon Com
mercidl, &c. There is a cause for this,
o: course, the Wings of North Carolina
being all " Union" men, The Locos have
taken different tack. Clingman, the
Secession candidate for Congress. in the
LIST District, is supported by every Loco
Foco paper in his District, and since he
ran as the democratic" candidate for the
U s. Senate, he has utterly disowned
the. Wing party. of which he was mem,
Der. lie is the only man Of any promi.
nence now cooperating with the North
Carolina Locos for Secession, who can
lay claim of ever being Wing. Every
Loco candidate for Congress is South
ern Rights" man, and in the Vth Dis.

In the IVth District John d. Stell has
been nominated as the democratic
States Rights" (Secession) candidate
for Congress. The name of the late
member, Gen. HARRISON, was laid before
the Convention, with what success the
following will show.
cit seems" says the Macon Journal
f. Messenger, "that the names of several
persons were before the Convention; a.
mong others, that Of Gen. HARRISON. -
The General, like the honest Dutchman,
had "had plenty of cote, but no elect
he had the highest number of ballots,
but no. majority. A motion was made
to nominate him by reclamation; but, the
Banner says, the noes came upon the
ears Of the body like the sharp peals Of
the "many voiced thunder.'' The Gen
eral had forescen the coming storm, and
ordered his friends no. to place him be-
fore The body; but they persisted. A DEL
egate from Meriwelher openly proclaim
ed that "he had come there instructed 10
vote for no man who was not member
Of the Soufhera Rights Party! Ac-
cordingly, the chairman drummed out OF
camp because he was not sufficiently
open disunionisf; while another of the
delegates 10 the Nashville Convention
was duly declared the candidate of the
Nc Donald party of the Fourth District.
Verify, the curtain rises: and The horrid
yisage of disunion begins gradually 10 APP
pear in all its naked deformity.''
Only one democrats" paper in
Georgia (the .Adams Banner) supports
the election of Howell Cobb Tor Govern
or, bot Mr.. Cobb is sustained by every
Wing paper but one (ihe augusta Re
puohc.) The Wing organization, with
a few Union Democrats. forms the
Union party, while the "Southern Rights
(Disunion) party is made up OF the
old Loco-Foco party, Judge Berrien re-
iusing. as yet, TO join the Union" or
ganizaiion. With this exception all the
leading Wings in Georgia belong TO the
Constitutional Union Party" as the
new organization is termed. The Union
movement in Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi and other Southern States receives
the great bulk Of iis.support from the
Wing party, as in Georgia. ~. Z.

The election in this State, was not
contested strictly on party grounds. The
returns are no. all in from the different
parts Of the State, yet we have enough
10 satisfy US. that the people have admin
isiered rebnke to the wire workers and
leaders Of the Democratic party IN The
State. Emboldened by frequent success,
they became wreckless Of the peoples
interests. and regardless of their rights.
AT the last session Of the Legislature. the
appropriation bill shows that, they dealt
out the peoples money to themselves,
and brother leaders, with . wasteful
hand, aud passed laws, unequal, unjust,
and oppressive. The mismanagement,
and wastefulnesa Of these men, in man
aging the financial affairs Of many Of
the counties, hos involved them in debt,
with no public buildings, or improve
menss to show for il. The peop,e could
see al q glance, tina. these new laws, Gre
ating new Offices with good salaries, and
anew and burdensome road law, would
increase,to an alarming amount, the al
ready enormous taxes. A respectable
and intelligen. portion Of our democrat
ic brethren, in view of the foregoing
facts, and alarmed at the crying abuses,
glaring evils, aud oppressive burdens,
brought upon the State by these leaders,
cast their votes for wings and indepen-
emit democrats, men from among them
selves, who they knew, and were will
ling to trust, and have thurs rebuked, a
set Of men, who, with loud and long
professions Of love for the dear people,
under the honored garb of democracy.
have trampled upon them and their dear
est interests, while they sought 10 agran-
die and enrich. themselves.
There leaders have no right to COM
