"Oh for" an issue, can uncommon want!" The
opposition papers have been greatly in want of an
issue against the Democracy, and they think they
have found it in the distribution question They
calculate that this issue will divide the Democracy
and thus place them in power. Precious little do
they about distribution, except as means for
obtaining Office. The last Fayetteville Argus, for
example, says:
"The distribution of the public lands will doubt.
less be the great issue in the coming contest Upon
this rock Democracy must split"
Here is the secret" upon this issue the Demo
racy must split" And what fine time it would
be, if such "split" should take place, for the fol-
lowers of Sam!
Brother Democrats! you perceive what are the
calculations and the hopes Of the opposition. Will
one of you faltcr9 We trust not. We have met
and vanquished this same opposition on much stron'
ger issues for them than this Let meet them
again with serried ranks and an unfaitering front
and the result cannot be doubtful

"FNALIrY FoorE."-In consistency to . bad cause
there is something that commands sympathy and
admiration; but the tme-server and the traitor is
execrated even when he changes from error truth
Henry S. Fooe, more Familiarity known 'Finality
Foote" is the most versatile politician who has fig
proted by his most opportune assertions, and even
when he loses by the somerset, he gains credit
for sincerity of convicton,so thoroughly docs the
popular intelligence pierce the mask of the ccnsum.
mate hypocrite
Many and happy have been the days since any
thing was heard of Einality Foote. Driven from
Mississippi by the indignation of the people whose
confidence he abused and betrayed, California gave
him refuge, she offers shelter to every fugitive
from justice. To make his concealments as COM
plee possible, he enveloped himself in the dark
ness of Know Nothingism; but at every turn his
identity was apparent and the people still pointed
the finger of scorn upon the wretched apostate.
Whatsoever way he fed into whatever crevce he
crept he was pursued by the Nemesis of pubic re-
probation.
Like much other refuse of the Democracy, Fcote
received into he "Order" with some exultation
and he might have been restored to the Senate, il
the people could have stomached him. For un-
deserved an appreciation his gratitude should have
been infinite; but Fnality Foote is not the man to
adhere to a beaten party. Accordingly, since the
Inauguration of Buchanan, he has renowned his
connection with Know Nothingism, and proclaimed
his allegiance to the Administration And with an
etrontery quite beyond the attainment Of any other
individual he has issued an address, in which he in
vites the whole American party" to initiate his
example.
What is it that brings Foote back into the Demo-
cratic party? How comes he to be inspired with so
ardent attachment to the Administration? 1t
cannot be pretended that the election of Buchanan
was triumph of Know Nothingism, ard accom-
pshes the objects of the "Ordcr" But he will re-
lapse-the next time into genuine Black Republi-
canism. Then will he complete the circle Of change,
and give the last touch to the perfect picture of
political apostate.
The above is from the Richmond "South," and
we heartily endorse every word of it. There was a
time when the of Henry S. Foote was synon-
ymous with Southern rights; and there was also a
time when the name of Benedict Arnold was synon-
ymous with patriotism. Those times past and
both the men have been branded as traitors. One
betrayed or attempted to beray his whole country
the other basely deserted and betrayed his section.
Let scorn and contempt be the portion of both.
To cover over his manifold sins this man Foote
would again creep back from his dark culvert into
the light of Democracy; just rascals often creep
into the church to cloak their vllany. Let him not
be admitted Let him 60 on and mature into black
Repubcansm-he has already passed the chrysalis
state Of Know Nothing ism. The full hedged free
soiler in the nature must be his next
diIion,

MEssRs. ED1roRs: Allow me through the Stand
ard, suggest to the Democratic party of this
county, the proprlety of holding Convention on
Monday of our May court, for the purpose of nom-
mating candidates to fill the cerkshps of our Coun.
ty and Superior courts believe this is the only
true republican Democratic principle, and is the
only way to give general satisfaction to the Democ
racy throughout the county. 1t is good maxim,
"in the time Of peace prepare for aoar;" the same
old enemy is in midst as heretofore and the
consequence will be, if Dick, Tom and Harry, are
allowed to candidates, it is more than proba-
BILE that enemy will carry off the prize. 1t must
be recoected that saved our Sheriff by nominal
tion and why not then let walk in the "good
old Democratic path of security" by nominating
our candidates? Whenever man is nominated by
a Convention We, as Democrats feel no kind of
hesitancy in voting for the nominee, because are
fully satisfied that he is of the "true grit"
feel confident, Messrs. Editors, that holding
a Convention at our May court, and nominating
candidates, will meet with The highest appreciation
by the Democrats of my section of the county; and
consequently the party will not be distracted, but
will be unit. And would further observe, if this
communication should meet with the general appro-
baton of the Democracy of the county, and there
should be no objection made to such course be-
tween this and court that it be understood, that
there will be Convention held on Monday of May
cour., and that all good Democrats from various
parts of the county be, and are hereby appointed
delegates to the same.

Gov. Walker was expected to take his departure

"The official and private dispatches which have
recently been received in this city from Kansas are
of character not only to remove all apprehensions
founded upon the exaggerated reports which appear,
from tune to time, in the eastern journals, but to
warrant the hope that the people of Kansas are
about to consult their own interests by turning
deaf ear to mischievous outside appeals and by ex
tending generous support to their new governor
in his endeavors to restore unity and harmony in a
Territory still unsettled by the divisions of section
alism and the agitations of political fanatics"
