The Homestead BIZ the Fayetteville Observer.
~ When the measure known as the Homestead Bill
passed the House of Representatives. published
it, and expressed opinions pretty freely in its de-
nunciation, without stopping to pay regard to mere
party considerations. in matter wherein our own
convictions strong and decided.
"a The Fayetteville Observer copied our article. but.
true to its instincts could not resist the temptation
to make little party capital, by characterzing the
affair locofoco measure which it was not, Wings
and Democrats being divided upon it in about equal
proportions and this the Observer might have known
at the first had its prejudces blinded it's percep-
tions, its for party advantage not
ed it to neglect the truth of history The Observer
tries get out of this by stating in its last that
are somewhat mistaken, perhaps one two votes in
our calculation and that not quite twice many
Wings voted for the bill as against it, giving the
number of Wings recorded in favour of the bill as
35-against it 81. Now we have ourselves analized
the vote and make Sc ayes to 18 or 10 nays, being
twice as many for as again the BILL The differ
however is imnaterial or two either way
does not alter the broad fact that the vote the bill
was sectional and not party-tbat Wings and Demo-
Gratis supported it alike in proportion to their
pective aggregate numbers. Had the Observer per-
mtted itselfto entertain idea independent of polit
ical maneuvring it would have perceived this and
would not have spoledits commentator of our indie
pendence by exhibiting, in the paragraph spe
cimen of the narroweSt and most uncandid party
spirit As for Mr.. Douglas, it will be time enough
10 defend him when definite charges are preferred.
AT present all the energy of the Wing presses is d.
rected to the hunting up, creation Of some accu-
sation wherew hal to backen the character of that
pure patriot Franklin Pierce. AS for the total
prostration of the Wing party, as asserted by US
us, and denied by the Observer, we can only reply
by pointing to the facts We have already enumera-
ted, namely the large democratic preponderance
IN Congress, and in nearly every State in the Union
By way of ofsett to this, the Observer sets up the
fact that the President of the United States belongs
to, and was elected by, the Wing party. Now this
is mere flourish The Observer knows that Mr.
Fillmore elected President, and could not
have been. 1t knows also, that Gen. Taylor was
elected simply on account of his military services.
and not at all account of his Wing politics. but in
spite ofthem and it knows further that he went in as
a minority President, and that the Wing Executive
has been in minority in Congress- and throug hout
the country, from the first That it is an accident
AN anomoly-a thing that must and will be re-
formed.

The Raleigh Standard made some enquiries of the

AN INs1NuAT1oN.--W Wing papers put significant
emphasis upon the fact that Gen. Pierce did not
ply the circular which MIR R. G. Scott addressed
to the various candidates for the nomination of the
Baltimore Convention. Now. as Gen. Pierce had de-
cned to be considered an aspirani for the Presden-
cy. there no occasion for him to respond to Mr.
Scotts interrogation. But the construction put up
on his silence is gross libel. W e have seen man
