The Wilmington Herald says:

very great sensation" This in justice our Sem

is for Fillmore all others. His is the only Wing

The Wilmington Commercial says:
sit is admitted all hands, that the Wings of
North Carolina are with great unanmity, in favor Of
the reelection of Mr. Fillmore. MIR. Mangum, how
ever, has come for Scott. The right of instrue-
ton has been long asserted but we think the right
is sought TO be confined TO the people, who instruct
their Representatives. But things have taken new
turn, suppose they ought to do in AN age of
progress" The Representatives nO assumes TO Instruct

thus led-no will dispute this. But We think it
high time the people asserted their sovereignty in fact
as well in name, and learn political leaders that
