RALEIGH, SATURDAY, NOV. 10. 1858.
VOICE OF THE DEMOCRACY.

Wo nresent below further evidences that our
.ourss in the late contest in this Congressional Dis
trict is approved by the Democracy of the State.
We do this in no spirit of boasting, but in self-de
fence and because we have good reason to believe
that Mr.. Venable is still engaged in his work of dis
oraDizaton and of vengeance. After the late cleo
ton. it is well known, rendered him the olive
branch but he put it from him and declared war
IN the knife. ~ He has denounced and misrepresen-
ted the Editor of this paper-he has publicly assail
cd sound and honored champions of the party, and
he has proclaimed that he would raise the standard
Of distribution from the seaboard to the mountains
and woe woe to the man that opposed him! These
are large words to proceed from gentleman who
owes all he has been,to party; and who, but for the
very Editors to whom he has been pleased to refer
as "type-stickers, ink-daubers, &C., would have
ben from the first, as he is, quite safely estab-
Ehed in the pursuits of private life He threatens
to put US down; and he has been raising money and
pedding about for subscribers for organ with the
hope of carrying out this threat The idea of put
ting down man because he adheres to principles is
worthy only of the vanity and arrogance of the gen
deman who conceived it but aside from this, we
defy him in every shape and form in which he may
operate against u.s. The Democracy of the State,
true now as in past time to their cherished princi-
pes are with us; and our confidence in them is as
fixed the earth is in its orbit. In all Indifferent
things we are willing to conciliate and yield to the
hrthest possible point, but principles and organiza-
ton zee nerer surrender.
