Western Democrats sold to the East! .-
Mr.. EDrToR: see there is runner afloat that Jno
A. Gimer, Esq, Of this place, in a Whig meeting
held here. on Tuesday Of May Court, charged the
Western Delegates to the late Democratic Safe Con.
the question is asked is the rnmor true1 Well, sir
was present at the tme, and heard Mr.. Gilmer re.
pea!edty charge and declare that tho Western Demo.
cratic Delegates had sold ihensees to tie East for the
sake Of party-some of the Delegates being present
at the time. Mr.. Gilmer also declared himself on,
posed to the present Senatorial basis, advocated a
change of the same and urged this position one OF
the great Western Wing principles. He denounced
the present basis as oppressive TO the West and
said = no State South of Masons and Dckson's line,
but North Carolina, would submit to such system
Of Injustice and oppression" He poured out the vias
of his wrath upon Western Democrats for opposing
this great Western Wing principle; and asked how
Western Democratic Delegates would dare to hold
up their heads and advocate the proceedings of the
late Democratic State Convention, touching the basis.
No., before the Western people. And he denounced
Western Democrats who approve of the proceedings
of that Convention relative to the basis and the
ding the Constitution through the Legislature, a,
Westvn men with Eastern principles. '-.-'
So, Sir. is easy to understand the game that is
to be played here, in the West, BY the Whig leaders,
Every man in the West, particularly if he he Dem:
oca who dares to oppose these reckless demagogues
who for party purposes are now endeavorng
the btterest feelings of anmosty among the people
Of the West against the East and who refuses to aid
them in their sectional warfare, is 10 be hunted up
and, If possible, broken down as Western Demo
crat sold to the East-as Western man with Eastern
principles. But. Sir, have no fears of the honest
yeomanry of the West. We Democrats of the Yves,
wish our brethren of the East, yes. of the whole
State, to understand US. We oesie them to know
that, while we intend to be to the West, shall
also be just and liberal to the East; that we are fal
above this low, selfish principle of sectionalsm thai
we desire. if possible, to draw closer the bonds ol
union amity, and friendship around euery part OF the
State that we do desire 10 oppress The East,
any portion of our feow-citizens; that, as citizens
Of North Carolina, look the interests of the
auhoie State. And we also wish the people Of the
East to understand the Wings of the West-partc.
ularIy the leaders, and if their is not di.
rectiy opposite to that of the Democrats.
Mr.. Gilmer also spoke on Federaf politics. and was
followed by Messis. Caldwell and Walker, bot the
lieuenans only went in the lead Of their captain. |;
was evidently Mr Gimers desire to get up an excite
meht; and he succeeded in part, for John A. Gimer,
ESQ.,, while speaking, became greatly excited, but
body else did. ..' 's-~-.. - -ss~
