frequently decoy ed by the near limitations
of tables, chairs &c, (as wei rs my system

by fire in SeptemI er 1850, reopened in
Clay street, the same month, then again
consumed by the same devastating ele-

hight carries with it the responsib bifty for eonse
quenees, whatever they may be. No party can
exist without organization on-without subsection
of the aspirations and ambition of the few to the
will of the many, or without concentration of its
power to the advancement of the principles itpro-
tesses Parties are formed to promote and estab-
lish principles, not to honor or reward men and
that party which loses sight of principles in con-
test about men, foreits for the time its claims to
public respect and degenerates into faction held
together by the hope of offices and "spois.".
1t gives no pleasure to pen this article The
readers of this journal will bear witness that we
have stood forward, for many years, as the fast
friend and supporter of both Gen. Saunders and
Mr. Shepard. We desire to say nothing to wound
their feelings and it is far very far from our nten-
ton to do them injustice. We are properly mind
ful, we trust, of the long continued and important
services which Gen. Saunders has rendered to the
Democratic party, and of the zeal and ability dis
played by Mr.. Shepard during his public career :;
but principle and organization before men, and
we therefore protest against their course in the late
Senatorial struggle We protest against it, because,
if their friends had labored for the nominee with
their appreciation, as they did for them, that nom-
nee would have been elected-because the result
has dissatisfied and dspirited the Democratic party
throughout the State-because the Democratic
people have been disappointed in their just expec-
tatonS, and because party organization, so essen
tial to party and the advancement of great
principles has been disregarded and set at naueht.
If their course, and the conduct of Messrs. Love,
Gotten, Christmas, and Watson should be approx
ed by the party, there will be an end to organiza
ton and concerted effort, and two years hence
we shall witness the election of two Wing Sena-
tors. 1t is of the first Importance, therefore, that
The Democrats of the State should take this mat
'er into their own hands, and see to it that men
ire sent to the next Assembly who will stand firmly
'y the action of the party in caucus assembled,
md give no hearing to the schemes or propositions
OF disorganizers. The Democratic party is now
the ascendant in this State, and that ascendency
an be maintained in no other way than by a rigid
adherence to the action of a majority, by doing
ustce to all sections, and by devotion to principle
without regard to men.

MR.. LOVE. OF HAYWOOD.

The Democrats of Haywood, we suppose whe,
they elected Mr.. Love, thought they would have .
reliable Democratic representative in the Assembly
We feel it our duty to assure them that in this
supposition they were mistaken. That gentleman
was one of the first to lead off for Gen. Saunders
against the Democratic candidate for Senator and
in addition to this he voted for Mr. Woodfn for
Senator, and suffered himself to be voted for by
the Wing members in opposition to Mr.. Courts,
the Democratic candidate for Treasurer. He was
a disorganizer from first to last.
| We hope the Democrats of Haywood will take
this young gentleman in hand, and teach him some
more lessons in Democracy before they send him
again to Raleigh. Give us a straightforward,
flat-footed Whg, always, to disorganizng, half
hearted Democrat.
The Democratic party is now in the ascendency
and is likely to remain That party is not only
disposed but determined to do the Western people
justice IN every respect; and all that party asks
in order to do this justice is time cooperation
on the part of Western men, and opportunity.
But such representatives as Mr.. Love, elected by'
one party, leaning to the other, and vibrating
between both, can have but little influence in the
councils or over the action of the majority.
Democrats, in laboring for the benefit and pros
perity OF the Western people, can act with Wings
as well as with Democrats, for they can know with
whom they ar" dealing and can act understand
iugly; but they can place No reliance upon mon
grel, who is one thing to-day, another tomorrow,
and another on the day after. We hope our
friends in Haywood and Jackson will think of these
things, and act accordingly.
By the way, William h. Thomas-to whom the
people of the West indebted for this new
County of Jackson-is one of the truest of men to
party organization and no member in the Assem-
Lly is more successful than he is in schemes for
the benefit of his constituents He has friends,
for he is true to his friends, and they know where
to find him. We make this statement by way of
illustrating and enforcing the views above present
ed. If Haywood or Jackson could only send such
another man as Thomas, at least one as true to
his friends as he is, all would be well.
Semi-weekly North-Carolina standard., 1853-01-01

G@- 1t is proper to state that the Sena-
torial and Congressional District bills passed at
the late session of the Assembly, encountered the
most decided opposition of a number of Democrat
ic members. MIR. Cunningham and Others, memb-
ers of the Senate protested on the Journals against
the Congressional bill, and Mr. Berry, the Senator
from Orange and Alamance, protested in the same
way against the Senatorial bill. Gen. Pearson,
the Senator from Northampton, spoke with rauch
earnestness and animation in opposition to the Con-
gressional apportionment; and so did Mr.. Berry.
Gen. Person was replied to briefly and warmly by
Mr. Caldwell, of Mecklenburg, who was in favor
of the bill.
