DEMAGoG1TIsM AND 81 ANG

E We present below, from Wing sources, couple
of choice specimens Of. demagoguism and slang. The
last Fayetteville Argus says: q
ssst We publish on our outside a portrait Of the
Pope's Nuncio--a blood.stained miscreant who was
for some days great lion in Washington City, gra-
cioasly corresponding with President Pierce, and
snuffng the incense of fattery, meanly and syco.
phantishly offered up to him by that sgreat Demo
cratic Statesman" Mr.. Senator Cass Of Michigan.
The Catholic influence is surely now secure for the
Administration IF not we hope his Holiness the
Pope Pic Nono will be good as to send over the
parengs of his toe nails, and let the President and
General Cass kiss them in the presence of the collec
ted wisdom of the nation"
The foregoing is a Wing argumenti It cost
Cameron several efforts in the way of thought, and
we think him clearly entitled to free ride on the
Plank Road. If he keeps he will soon be promo
ted to the captaincy of steamboat or something
of the sort He is pestered in spirit on account of
what he would call the "papishers' All we'll
Cameron is having his /" purgatory here"-and
must say wish him good time of it. We only
hope that the Pope's Nuncio will not be the death of
him. for if he should happen to drop off before his
purgatorial days ended he might go further and
fare worse.
But there is one thing which we ask leave to state
for Cameron's especial edifcation: 1t will require
something much more potent than " the parengs'
of the Popes toe-nails to rcsuscitate and give tr-
umph to Whiggery in North Carolina. Our facetious
contemporary, to whom confess we never felt
ourselves able to do justice, must add to his plat
form.
The following resolutions were adopted by late
Wing meeting in Lenoir:
&c ReSoIred FURTHER That the administration of
David s. Reid, during his term of office, realizes the
predictions of prominent Wings, that he was Snuff
ling politician and unfit to be chief Magistrate of
sovereign State.
Resolred, That we view the measures of the pres
ent Chief Magistrate of the Nation deeterous to
the best interests of common Country, and that
we look upon his administration second edition
of that of Martin Val Buren,, plentfuly Diluted and
only wonder that enlightened people like ours
should be again gulled by Specious falschoods and
most abominable misrepresentation.
ReSOtred, That justice to the odd thirteen" re-
qures that the public lands an specie, their pro-
ceeds should be distributed equally and pro rata as
regards population, not only amongst them, but
those others members of this Confederacy, who are
not the peculiar pets of the present executive, or
his lsrious predecessors the Presidents OF his pc
culiar shade of politics and that we look upon the
Democratic policy of frequent grants Of soil by Con-
gress to the Western and North Western States,
only so many bids for the Presidency; and so much
money filched from the education OF our children.
The first Resolution is gross reflection upon the
people of North Carolina, who have twice elected
David s. Reid Governor-thc last time by the lar
gest vote cast for any for any Office in the
State the second resolution is in the face of the eff
forts making by the President and his friends to alb
rogate the Missouri line and Yet in slavery to the
Territories of Nebraska and Kansas; and the third
Resolution is the most laughab of all the absurd
Resolutions we have yet seen on the land question.
Political slang can be had cheap in this State dur
ing the ensuing campaign. Apply to certain-not
all-Whig Editors, and to certain-not all-Whig
politicians and the article will be dealt out gratis
