th1t clamor for division of the landss ong the
States and oppose all homestead and graduation bills
and this they do good Wings, because their plat
form does not bind them to any thing the subject
Most liberal patriots they in Che States, rea
dy to give every man, whether foreigner or not, a
farm without charge; most afflicted patriots are
they in the old States ready to say or to do almost
any thing to the people against the "locofoco
injustice they term it, of giving the lands away
and depriving North Carolina of her rights!
We charge it on these Whig leaders that they
have squandered the public lands, and we point to
the record and show the proof Let them now an
swer it to the people Let them tell why and how
it was Mr.. Mangum and Mr.. Badger voted for this
Illinois grant; and why and how it was their &C mo-
del President, Mr. Fillmore affixed his signature to
the bill. They have charged that this BILL and 9TH
ers of similar character, were grossly unjust to
North Carolina, and that the certain tendency of
such policy was to deprive the old States Of all
chance to obtain any thing either of lands pro-
ceeds; we take them on their own grounds, and in
the presence of deceived and honest people declare
that they responsible for the very acts they d.:
and affect to deplore! There is the record
let them meet it if they can. There are the facts,
from 1s41 to the present day let them, if they
muster the assurance to do so, add some contempti
BILE excuse for their conduct in this matter to the
wrong inflicted on the State, they allege, and
we have proved, by their own act!
- We copied into last a manly and ad-
mirable article from the Petersburg Inteligencer,
Wing, on the subject of Northern Whiggery. The
Inteigencer has shown the deadly hostility of the
Wings of the free States to Southern rights and has
cut loose from them forever. We honor Mr. Syme
for his independent and patriotic spirit. In his paper
of the Sth of June he says in addition to the article
we have copied:
Randolph, of Roanoke, " will at once see that VIC
have cut loose from our former Northern allies be-
cause they have abandoned the great principle Of
nationality which formed the strong bond between
u.s. and have identified themselves with the faction
lists, incendarcs and disunionsts of the Free Soil
and Abolition school. AS long we thought them
sincere and honest in the professions which they
,nade-as long we believed them disposed to up
hold the Constitution and the law of the land-we
stood side by side with them in the strugg les which
we have had with Democracy, not doubling IN the
simplicity and earncstness OF our faith that true
spirit of patrotsm-a wide and vigorous conscrva-
tism-a genuine and lofty regard for country ami
mated their counsels and influenced their conduct.
We thought too that in these respects the claims of
the Northern Democracy to Southern favor were far
touch-stone has tested them both, and candor COM
pes to say that the Northern Wings, hare az
tOiy, been p: utteri1 uhsound and untrustacOr
thy, @htst, ,eth comparatively teo exceptions, tie
Northern Democrats haze been JuihJul to their Con-
stitutioaat obligations. As the course
of these Wings upon the Nebraska question, we
made up our mind at once to separate from them,
because we could not, after such marked and wan
ton display of hostility to the SOUTH and to her
EQUAL RIGHTS guaranteed by the FEDERAL
COMPACT, which is the basis and bulwark of the
Repubiic-we could not, say, after this hesitate
to connection which forbidden alike by
the dictates of honor, of consistency and duty. We
could not as member cf National Wing party
become like our former allies the confederates OF
Garrison, of Philips, of the Stoves, the Gddings,
the Summers and the Stewards, and all the other
treason plottors and anarchists of the North As
they have thus verified the charge which the DEM
ocracy has always made against them of a decided
sympathy for, and secret utilization with, these un-
prncipled agtaors, we leave them to the enjoyment
of whatever fruits they may reap from their evil
communications. We are not of them with
them, and hcnceforward will be regulated
accordingly"
We shall have word or two to say in reply to the
low abuse of the Raleigh Register, but in the mean
time call the attention of the Editor to the fore
going. Mr.. Syme is as good Wing as he is, more
intelligent, and better informed to the condition
and course of Northern Whiggery. He confirms all
we said in late ISSUE and to which the Register at
tempted reply.
Come out, Mr. Register, and tell us If the record
shoes Whig in the free States sound upon the
Constitutional rights Of the South Even the AL
bany Register, the personal and political organ of
Mr. Fillmore, is bitterly against u.s. as we shall show.
BEHOLD YOUR ALLIESI BEHOLD THE ALLIES
OF GEN. DocKEET, who says he will "aoait and see'
whatthese enemies of Southern rights will do! They
have not gone far enongh-he cannot cut loose from
them yet
Mr.. Bragg, the Democratic candidate for Governor,
will address the people of Gold Hill in this County,
OH Monday, the 10th of this month. Let the peo-
pie, without distinction of party, avail themselves
of this opportunity of hearing one Of the abest Or
ators of the State Sails. Banner.
The appointments made by Gen. Dockery, here
tofore published close at Salisbury Tuesday next
He has uniformly refused to unite with Mr.. Bragg in
making appointments, saying when pressed upon
the subject and when reminded Of the unairness of
his conduct that he will attend to his interests, ond
Mr.. Bragg must attend to his He is evidently dis
posed to dodge, and he wishes if possible, to get
clear of MIR. Bragg. If there should be any thing
in the way of hanging up West-especially of q
free negro-he will be to be there. Such is the
Federal candidate for Governor! We trust the peo-
