WESTERN DEN oeRATs SOLD to the YaSfs
Mr. EDlroa:I see there Is 4-taAse1 naent
that Jno.~A. Giimer.s fst iactS :
i..-aeAaAllig n.eslirg eelet t6s g
of May Court, charged the western Ds1e-
gates to the late Democratic State Con-
vention with having sold themselves to the
East; and the question is asked. Is the
rumor true Well, sir, | was present at
the time, and heard Mr. Gilmer repeatedly
charge and declare that the Western
Democratic Delegates had sold themselves
TO the East for the sake Of party-some Of
the Delegates being present ut the time.
Mr GiImer also declared himself opposed
to the present Senatorial basis, advocate!
change Of the same, aud urged this posi-
ton one Of the great Western Whis
principles. He denounced the present
basis as most oppressive to the West. and
said '.no State South of Masons aud Dick
sons line, but North Carolina, would sub
init to such a system of injustice and op-
pressicn.'' He poured out the walls Of his
wrath upon Western Democrats for oppos-
ing this great Western Whs principle !;
and asked how Western Democratic Dele
gates would dare to hold up their heads
and advocate the proceedings Of the late
the basis, &C., before the w estern people.
And he denounced Western Democrats
who approve of the proceedings Of that
Convention relative to the basis and tive
amending the Constitution through the
Legislature, as Vestern men ,ciM Easiern
principles.
So, Sir. it is easy to understand the
game that is to be played here, In the
West, by the Whis leaders. Every man
in the West particularly if he be Demo
crat, who dares to oppose these reckless
| demagogues. who tor party purposes are
| now endeavoring to arouse the bitterest
feelings OF animoslty among the people oi
| the West against the East, and who re-
fuses to aid them ia their sectional war

TO the Eost-as a Uesfern man with Eesie, n
principles. But, Sir, | have no fears oi
the honest yeo,uanry Of the West. We
Democrats of the West wish our brethren
Of the East, YES. of the whole State, tn
understand US. We desire them to know
that, while we intend to be true to the
West, we shall also be just and liberal to
the East that we are far above this low !,
selfish principle of sectionaIism that we
desire, if possible, to draw closer the
bonds Of union, amity, and friendship
around every part of the State that we do
not desire to oppress the East. or any por'
ton of our fellow citizens; that, as citizens
Of North Carolina, ace look to the interests
Of the whote State. Aud we also wish the
people Of the East to understand the
Wigs Of the West-particuIar:y the lead
ers, and see if their course is not directly
opposite to that of the Democrats.
MIR Gilmer also spoke On Federal poll
tics, and was followed by Messrs Caldwell
and Walker, but the lieutenants only wen
in the lead Of their captain. 1t was evi
IDENTIFY MIR Gilmer's desire to get up an
excitement and he succeeded in part. fol
John A. Giimer, ESQ. while speaking,
became greatly excited, baa nobody else dta
A WESTERN DEMOCRAT.
