Ihe Democratic Association. "
= The Democratic Association of the town of Will.
mngton was organized last night, over one hundred
Democrats having Immediately enrolled their names
DR.. J. D. Belamy was elected President by acclama

tuition and byeaws for the association to be submit

The association is now formed 1t will 90 on in
its quiet way, appealing to the judgments of men in
favor OF Democratic principles, disseminating
Democratic truth, promoting Democratic har-
mony' aid furthering Democratic success 1t will
bring Democratic men together-enable them TO con
pare notes and see how they stand-how truth may
be best upheld and error best combatted 1t is good
move, and worthy the support and fostering care of
every believer in Democratic principles.
We suppose some little carping will be set up about
this move for Democratic organization but that will
pass as the idle winds - the Democrats understand
each other and themselves They organize freely and
openly, as they have always DONE and they will new.

move one mite slower or faster for all the puny at
sacks that may be made upon them. They have Ia.
ken their stand not minute too soon, neither will
they relax their energies until their peaceful battle
be won.
Let us look at something amusing. This time last
year, at period of political quiet, the whole town
seemed afflicted with erupive disease, every lamu
post and street corner broken out with patches
three-cornered and all sorts of cornered, calling to.
gether' night after night, week after week, month
after month, the members of a secret political order
to meet IN secret nightly council And yet now, for
Sooth, on the eve of great national political move
ments' when the Democratic party meets togethe,
openly for the interchange of views, and the forma
ton OF more perfect organization, hub-bub is
raised by the organ of this very ORDER as though the
democrats were doing something monstrous! w,

A Generous and just Tribute.

We find the annexed communication in the last
number of the Fayetteville Observer, the ablest
Wing paper in North Carolina. How nobly it con-
trasts with the narrow, contracted views which We

by those who purer motive for high and

Commercial Wharf, Charleston. The warehouse
contained about 600 bales long cotton, only about
100 bales OF which saved. Thirty or forty bar-
rels of rice were also consumed. The less is vari-
ously estimated at from $4,000 TO $4,000, and by
some at a still larger sum. A portion of this was
covered by insurance mainly effected with companies
outside of Charleston.

a- The senior editor of the Fayetteville Observer
closes some remarks appropriate to the New Year
and to the 32d anniversary of his connection with
the paper, with the assurance that "The Observer
continues 10 be Wing paper"
The Observer stands solitary and alone in North
Carolina. All the other papers that used to rejoice
in the name of Wing, now proclaim the Wing party
dead and another built up upon lis ruins. They
would like also to proclaim the Democratic party
dead, but it gives too many signs of lusty life and
vigor.
In days gone by we have had many sharp en-
counter with the ObserUer-many hard fought bat
tIe but generally these encounters marked by
mutual courtesy, and the absence of personal
ness.
We confess to an added respect for the Observer.
Next to the man who frankly joins with us, like
him who frankly and consistently opposes us, and
jump Jim Crow, and fling away like worn-out gar
ment the name, organization and advocacy, of that
party which he had all along struggled for, Men
are the only earthly judges of their own motives, but
political actions are for the world.
We do not know that this from political oppo-
men, will be acceptable We much politically
opposed to the Observe, as ever, aud as ready to
meet it again in the discussion of such matters of
policy and principle divide US as we have ever

by the anti Americans; but we have never heard

denial have been expected? and yet such statement
would have been about as well founded as that

charge of buying votes, 1t asks how much for
votes }" This is indeed grave matter-a charge
