From the North Carolina Wing
The New Party and Southern Democracy


Il is amusing, but not instructive, to witness
the puny efforts Of southern administration prints
10 identify the new order of Know-Nothings with
the abolitionists of the North No course OF con-
duct on the part Of their opponents can satisfy the
capricous tastes OF these partisan presses In 1852
they denounced Southern Wings In the most un-
measured terms for supporting General Scott, pc
cause, as they said, he was the favoritc OF VIM. H.
Seward. and now, when the same party in con-
junction with the national Know Nothings, con-
denim Seward, Greeley, n Co., and their abomina-
BILE political heresies, these same Southern Demo
Gratis affect to disbelieve in their sincerity ana per-
sist in attributing the election OF WIN. II. seward
to the United States Senate to the action OF TINS
new national organization. So reckless have they
hecome in view of the overwhelming defeat which
awaits the present administration in the election OF
1855 by the new party, that they hesitate not to
attempt to gull and deceive the people by charges
acanst the new order involving the most garing
absurdties.
They even 20 so far as to attribute the triumphs
Of the Frcc-soil anti-Nebraska Democracy 10 the
KnowNothings Anti-Nebraska Free-soilism has
t;nm,nbed IN every election which has recently
taken nlace in the States north of Mason and Dix
ana line and vet these triumphs have all been
;mnnted by an INSCRIPTIONS party press, TO the
act;on ala or CO. operation of the new order; where
"a this order presented the only regular, organized
opposition to defeat it's success. The eection Oh

Northern States. Charge the crimes and misfor-
tunes Of your party and the country to this

pose Of this new organization to discourage dema-
gogues, and TO ignore all sectionalsms In every
quarter Of the Union, rs the most efectual policy
TO restore peace harmony and fraterna love to the
councils Of once united, but now distracted nation
So long as the phrenzy Of southern fanaticism
continues to kick the fire Of Northern Abolitionism
II may expect its sparks 70 rebound upon It. Let
1t alone, and II win gradually shoulder away be-
meath It's own embers. Adhere to the pledges
made In the Baltimore platforms Of the two great
political parties OF the country in 1852, to eds

and out OF Congress" and our country will soon
be blessed with the fruits Of delightful union,
cemented by tho ties of past associations and
frightened by the CLEANS Of future prosperity
