Fayetteville CaroHnian.
The foregoing from the Carolinian (by the way
Mr.. Haughton was at the Fayetteville Mass Meet
ing) is almost equal to certain performances of Mr..
Haughton and his friends in Chatham. To give
our readers some idea of the Scott enthusiasm -
in Chatham, we may state that the Wing Sub
Elector, John II. Haughton, made two appoint
ments recently to address the people in different
and opposite parts of the County. At the first
place he had nobody to hear him. except the friend
or two who went with him, and at the other place
only one other and it is said that passerby, who
saw them posting up Scott pictures, took them for
Circus men, and asked them when they intended
to have their show! So much for the enthusiasm
now for Wing maodesty. We learn that the same
Sub-Elector went to Regimental Muster, and
claimed the right to speak first or, he said, the
right to draw straacs for the privilege of speaking
first would he yield it until after putting it to
a vote. The people voted down his proposition to
draw straws, and then he objected to the time pre-
posed by Mr.. Rencher to speak, which was an hour
and half, and put that to a vote also, and was
voted down by an overwhelming majority.
The truth is there is genuine enthusiasm for
the Seward candidate: and Tuesday next will prove
what we say.

The New York Express.

The Alexandria Age, pretty severe and caus-
tic enemy Of the Wing party, quotes the language
of the Express upon which we yesterday com.
mented, and says:
:" This is from Wing authority-high Wing
authority too-and if Scott is to be elected by
the Wings after such disclosure from such a
source, we may look out for the most corrupt ad-
ministration that has ever disgraced the annals
of any country, and the people will have no right
to utter murmur of complaint that they have
been imposed upon or cheated by the operation"
If the premises of the Age respecting the
highness of the authority be correct, the Wing,
are indeed in bad way but we very well know
that our English foemen did not think very high
ly of Benedict Arnold after he went over to them
nor do we believe that any diminutives of thai
parsonage will be revered by the generous and
truthful among our Democratic foes-the Age
included.

splendid house, the Germania performed beauti-
fully, Alfred Jaell made the grand piano "dis-
course most eloquent music" and Ole Bull was
magnificent.
When we first heard Ole Bull alone, We thought
there was need for nothing more. He was su-
bime-the most graceful and majestic sculpture
in marble of purest Wilderness. But when we
heard him last night sustained by the splendid
Germania Band, he appeared as the beautiful
life-like image in the foreground of the most ex-

Seamen in the Navy.

In the discussions on this question in Congress
and in the papers we hear but one word in con-
nexion with the discipline that is necessary to be
preserved in the navy, and that is punishment.
All the humane and enlightened modes of curing
the evil by removing the cause that the wisdom
of the age has begun to engraft upon the penal
codes of civilized nations is lost sight of when
you talk of seamen, and the imagination of the
old togies is filled with the cat and the coli, and
other modes that have come down to us from the
dark and barbarous times when man was looked
upon as thing to be beaten whenever it suited
the pleasure of his superior. To be sure, this
part of the discipline of the navy has been al
tered but them true to their instincts, the friends
of the compulsory system have fallen back upon
species of punishment that, while it does not
subject the backs of the sailors to the lash, in
ficts upon them the most degrading and humili-
ating punishments, calculated to root up man.
self-respect and make him reckless and depraved
being, careless alike Of the good or ill opinions
of those by whom he is surrounded.
What is wanted to secure more ready COM
pliance with the regulations of the navy is a
future to which the seamen can look as a reward
fer his obedience and attention to his duties. 1t
is not enough that men paid for their services,
but there should be promotion open to all who
have the genius and talent to win it. Why should
there be any position in the American navy shut
up to the poor and humble Of her citizens who
can show in their life and conduct that they are
qualified to fill it with credit to themselves and
profit to the nation. AS It's now, the horizon of
seamans hopes are bounded by the petty Of
fcer's warrant, while at the same time he is
lorded over and subjected to all kinds of insult
by officers who do not possess one title of the
ability that he is possessed of The effect of this
must be to drive from the naval service all the
bold, manly aspiring spirits that are the defence
of our country in the hour of danger; or if they
do enter they are soon relieved of all the ambi-
ton with which they set out on their career, and
reduced to the mere machines that seem to have
no life save the will of their superiors.

A Specimen OF Fair Dealing.

We have heretofore stated that if there were
points of attack to which the batteries of our
Democratic adversaries could be advantageously
directed there would be less desire for election
eering letters and speeches from Gen. Scott i; and
the Union Of this morning fully and entirely con.
firms our assertion. After ambling through q
long article in an attempt to prove that the Wing
party is not to be trusted on the Compromise
and that the Democratic party is, it proclaims
that
"GEN. SCOTT MAY WRITE COMPROMISE
LETTERS AS OFTEN AND AS FULLY AS HE
PLEASES; but as long as he Is with party
organization which has labored to defeat these
measures, and is prescribing all prominent poll
tcians who took a prominent part in passing
them, HE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SATISFY
THE COUNTRY THAT HE OUGHT TO BE
TRUSTED WITH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
POWER"
1t is untrue that the Wing party is not as
sound on this subject as their opponents; but
we pass that by for the chief point in view The
Union here in words reveals fact that the whole
world has all along well known, that it is insin-
cere in its opportunities respecting the avowals
it has required Fooled in the crafty plans it has
contemplated, in conjunction with others of its
party and sinister section of the Wing party
and chafed by the discontinue it has suffered, it
peevishly reveals the truth it would have with
held and declares that " General Scott ,uay ,ortte
Compromise letters as often and as fully as he
pleases, but that he iH neuer be able to satisfy
The country that he ought TO be trusted NTH the
chief executive power!"'
The protested friends of the Wing party who
have heretofore depended upon Democratic con-
freres for countenance in making their malignant
attacks upon him, will surely feel degraded in
their own eyes by the revelation of truth they
dare not themselves confess If there is any JUS
tice or magnanimity in them, they will now de-
sert their untenable position, and give their aid
in securing his election. But whether they do
or not, his election is foregone conclusion with
the American people, and leading politicians can
produce precious little effect either side of the
question.
