from this most lucrative business. And they
are opposed to any such relation. They
wish to enjoy the profits and honors of Bank
Ing in North Carolina without change OF mo-
lesiation. And to crafty these gentlemen.
the Standard is willing to do all he possibly
can, and to this end Judge Saunders exer-
cised himself considerably during the latter
part Of the last session of the Legislature.
And to this end will the Standard endeavor
to marshal the whole Of his party. Georgia
has given both Of her great Rail Boads Bank
ing privileges, and since they have enjoyed
this privilege they have arranged 10 make
their roads and Banks profitable; and so
would it be in North Carolina. But our
Bankers have sworn that no such bill as
proposed shall pass, for the reason | have
stated. But | have neither time nor oppor-
tunity to say more at present. ask you
and all the other Editors Of the State to do
me, and the measure / advocate, the simple
Justice to publish this communication. lliave
received greatmany applications for copies
of my bill. and as have not yet seen a com.
plete copy bound with the documents of the
last Legislature, expect TO have it publish
ed in few days as il was amended in the
House. The public will then see, when i
circulates. how barefaced are the statements
made by the Editor of the Standard. lhope
no Editor in the State will refuse to publish
this card, as have been most shalnefuly
misrepresented witllout cause or provocatior
on my part. cannot see how any one could
wiliully misrepresent another.

THE HYPOCRISY or DEMOCRACY.

This is d suggestive Demonstrating with
conceptions. Ii is text, from which we
could discourse "trom morn till dewy eve,
and still the subject would not be exhausted.
We do not propose. however, on the present
occasion, 10 discuss the subject IN all OF ITS
many phases, but merely 10 show il up, upon
a point or two ANY persoh. reading the Lo-
cofoco prints in the State, would naturally
suppose, from the strains in which they de-
nounce the Missouri Compromise and eulo-
gise the Compromise 81 lS50-trrming the
first neiarions surrender % the rights % the
South. and claiming that the principles Of the
last were merely carried out by the much
Wanted Nebraska Bill. any person, We say,
so reading, would naturally suppose, that
the Lncofoco party had always repudiated the
first, aud had originated. or al. least cordially
embraced, the last. What are the tactsf
We have before Us the Resolutions adopted
by the LocoiOcO Convention Of North Caro-
lima. assembled al Raleigh in 1850. The
fourth of the series read il this wise:
ResoiUed. That the Compromise. known
as the Missouri Compromise, was adopted IN
a spirit Of mutual concession and cancellation;
and though the South feels that II ,leiracts
from her constitutional rights, vet for their
love Of the Union, this convention il willing
10 abide by il. and would chcerfuliy see all
TIE distracting questions settled on this
basis"
This Resolution, be il remembered, was
adopted in 1850, at the very time when the
celebrated Compromise % that year was un-
der consideration in the Senate. Here, then,
Is clear Endorsement Of the Missouri Com
promise. Is there any thing in the Resolu.
iions approbatory II the Compromise Of $50:
On the contrary, just the reverse! The
/ second " The series reads Ia this wise:
/ = RtSoiCed. That The "peculiar plan"
originated and persisted in by lI,e President
and his Cabinet, will not have the effect Of
promoting harmony and concord, but leaves
I the Territorial questions unsettled. Tie door

involved III excitement anil peril.
Here, then, is distinct disapprosal oI the
/ Compromise of 1850. II, then, the Localized
party OF North Carolina could have had their
Il way in 1850, the Missouri Compromise would
have been forever fastened upon the Ountry,
and the Compromise of 1850 would have ne.
yer been adopted. Now they denoBnce Tie
