THE STANDARD FOR 1852.

The present year will be marked by events of
deep and lasting importance. A President and
Vice. President will be elected and we shall have
in this State warm campaign for Governor and
members of the Legislature. The Legislature to
be chosen will be called upon to elect Senator for
six years-to re-distrct the State for members of
Congressman also to lay off the Senatorial Dis
tricts and apportion the members of the House of
Commons for the next twenty years. I'm addition
to this the great question of Equal Suffrage will
come before that body for final action These
considerations, not to- mention Others will render
the campaign interesting to ALL The people Will
desire to be informed to passing events and the
qualifications and soundness of public mon; and,
to be thus informed, they must not only hear the
stump" speeches, but they must take the mesOs-
papers.
- We shall devote all our energies to the cause Of
the people and of Democracy and equal rights, in
the coming campaign. A brilliant triumph lies
before us brother Democrats, provided we are true
to ourselves. Let us, then, go to work at once
let us prepare for the harvests of August and
November. Let scatter the documents and
newspapers far and wide among the people, so that
they may have an opportunity of reading, ponder
ing, and deciding for themselves upon the great
questions which will come before Them Democ-
racy fears nothing much as false issues and con-
cealments 1t is open like the sun-hke the sun,
it shines for ALL and like TRUTH it courts scrutiny
and challenges investigation.

MORE SCOTT ENTHUSIAST"

We copy the following important article from the
last Wilmington Journal:
" BRUNSWICK CoUNTY-PUBLIC MEETING, pub
lie meeting of the citizens of Brunswick County was
held at SmithviIle Saturday. We learn that
Samuel Langdon, Esq, announced himself a candi-
date for the Commons from that county. Mr.. Lang
don occupies the position with DIR. John Hill,
who has retired from the canvass. Neither of them
can support General Scott, and it is believed that
fully one half of the wings of Brunswick county are
of the same mind-more than one half are ant-Scott
men,
DR.. Hill was called upon. and spoke for nearly three
quarters Of an hour " more in than in anger "
with his whg brethren who differed from him. He
successfully and triuWphanty defended his position
towards Gen. Scott, showing the impossbiity of his
receiving the support of the South.
81. Person, Esq, the Democratic Elector for this
District was also present, and made able and efee-
i've speech upon the leading questions of the day.
Ills remarks warmly responded to.
Mr.. Langdon and DR.. Hill are wings, but they
cannot follow Seward AS we have already said the
majority of the wings of Brunswick symPathse in
the feeling. Mr.. Langdon is against Scott, against
an open Convention and in favor of Free Suffrage"

received at Washington that the Democratic Com

JOHN KERR's TWO FACES.

The Ashevie News, noticing the charge that it
had done injustice to Mr.. Kerr, says:
/" We never, Intentionally, did any man injustice.
We do not think Mr.. kerr's positions have been
unfairly stated, but if he show that they have
been, will most cheerfully give him the full bene-
fit of the denial. But mark We, y If Mr.. Kerr
denies the positions have attributed to him, we
shall see shat the lie rests just where it beongs-upon
the Raleigh Register and the Newbernan, two of the
gentleman's friends and advocates! for defy any
man on earth TO prove that have attributed one
sentiment to him which not promu gated by these
two papers"
The Newbernian of the 9Th of June stated that Mr..
Kerr in his speech in Newbern, declared " in express
terms" that he was not for Convention, the fol-
lowing extract will show-and this is what the News
no doubt alludes to:
I" We that the Rep. S' Pat states that Mr..
Kerr is the advocate of an oPen unrestricted Conven
toni! Whore did the Rep 9' Pat. learn this? We
KNOW, FOR WE HEARD 1T, that in his speech
in New Berne on the 18th ult., MIR. Kerr said, in
express terms, that HE DID NOT ADVOCATE
A CONVENTION. Is it likely that in Elizabeth
City, where such stand would have done him more
injury than here, that he should have advocated an
open Convention, and declared within week or
less here, that he DID NOT advocate Convention
of any kinda?
Now let US see what Mr.. Kerr said in Green's
borough. The Greensborough Patriot of the 10th
instant in its sketch of Mr. Kerrs remarks at that
place on the 29th June, says:
w7:s Mr.. Kerr most distinctly declared himself
for Convention called according TO the provisions
of the Constitution; but insisted that the Uoice Of the
majority would and ought to the constitution
al number of the Assembly to effect it-hat this
the true REPUBLICAN doctrine" 81

portion of the State trust him
