Waughtown, May "a, 1858.

We see it stated that Mr.. Gilmer, know-nothing
member of Congress from North Carolina, is circu-
latng speeches of l. D. Campbell. "a black republi-
can member from Ohio,) in this State. We hope
this is not so-cer:ainly John A. Gilmer has not so
far forgot himself to lend his aid IN distributing
the speeches of black republicans. The statement
has not been contradcted, as we have seen, and we
fear it is too true. If any knows it to be fact
from personal knowledge We hope they will inform
us. We feel almost certain that many of Mr.. Gil
mer's political friends would disapprove and con-
denim such conduct Western Democrat.
There can be no doubt, we presume. that Mr.. Gill
mer has been sending black Republican speeches
among his constituents. We have it from friend
in Montgomery and from friend in Chatham. The
latter, under date May "a, says: "Mr. Gilrner has
flooded this county with abolition speeches, having
sent but slavery speech here this session"
We learn that Mr.. G. has now and then sent dis
union speech by some Southern man, but he has
frauked conservative administration speech, so
far as we know.

cit is idle to talk about retaining the Public
Lands as a source of revenue, " when year after
year they are squandered in the most reckless Law
ish and corrupt manner."-Register.
The above is mere assertion, unsupported by
proof. 1t has been several years since any consid-
cradle squandering has been done. Under Mr.. Fill
more's administration there was good deal of it;
and we are constantly referred to the illinois Rail-
road grant to prove the squandering. Mr.. Badger
and Mr.. Mangum, then U. S. Senators from North
Carolina, voted for that grant, and far be it from US
to defend them for that vote but cannot 60 the
length their friend, the Register goes, and say they
were RECKLESS, lavish and corrupt"
The advocates of distribution seem to base their
arguments on the assumption that as the lands
being sguandered might as we'll come in and take
"our shares"-that as others are stealing we might
as well steal too. This is not the principle which
the Democratic party acts. 1t asks of measure,
Is it right? If So it avors it, if not it opposes it.
Even distributionsts to admit that the Demo-
cratic position in regard to the lands is right but
they contend it cannot be maintained. They think
wrong and injustice stronger than right and justice
and they turn to what they think the stronger SIDE
On the principle they might consistently help
to rob man whom they found already being robbed
by others, and whom they could not rescue from his
assailants. Ay, not only help to rob him, but re-
ceive portion of the plumber, and then plead that
as the plunderng was inevitable they were jus:i6a
BILE in taking portion
