The Leader wants to know if we Justify
mob law" That depends entirely upon the
state Of circumstances surrounding us. If a
great public or private wrong can be redresscd
in no other way, We should say give violaters
Of orlcr little touch of the mobocratic style.
The man who strikes another with his fist or
club is mobocrat in a small way, and yet, if
ono talks Of taking the law against another
for sudden fight, lie is universally derided
wherever zoe have lived.
Bro. Green refers, probably, to a dispute or
quarrel which originated at McGregor, few
days since, between McGregor and Prairie du
Chicn wheat buyers, and our answer to his
"mob inquiry is expected to be an opinion

clash, they can have the luxury of quarrel

they are much more likely to make friends if

now before us, we will say that the McCrcgor

We suppose the Wisconsin buyers can do the
same.
We believe that newspapers too often take
upon themselves to settle the various wranglcs
that spring up in a business community, and it
is generally the case that the espoussl of one

CONGRESS- AND THE ELECTION or ITS MEN
BERS


From the Wilmington IN. CD Journal March 3l1
We think that recent events must have drawn public
attention TO the fact that for portion of every other
year there is actually Congress of the United States
So far as North Carolina is concerned there no repre-
sentatives between the fourth of March and the first
Thursday in August The President of the United States
could not call Congress together without manifest njus-
tice to many of the States from which no delegations
have been chosen This fact indeed influenced the adj
ministaton in deciding not to call extra session this
summer
This state of things is bad enough at any time but
might be disastrous indeed in the event of war break
ing out in Europe, the occurrence of hosttics direct
ed against by any foreign power In this State there
is believe, power vested in the governor to order
elections in certain cases. intended perhaps to meet such
emergency but in several of the States whose cleo
tons held in the year such provision exists
1t is true that generally speaking, the fall before the
regular meeting of Congress is time enough to
elect representatives and it is desirable that these repre-
sentatiyes should fresh from the people posi-
be still it cannot be denied that there ID this great OBJ
lection to late elections that for great part of the time
the State has actually delegation no congressman
authorized to represent her interests the floor of the
lower house of the federal Legislature.
We think time and experience have shown the expedi-
ency indeed the necessity of having elections in all the
States for members of the Congress before the term
Of the members of the old shall have expired, thus
obviatng the difficulties which now exist, and which
might paralyze the whole operations of federal
cbinery.
We know that there may be urged this practical OBJ
lection against holding elections for Congress in this State
before the expiracy Of the old Congress- that it would
throw such elections into the year with those for
governor and members of the State legislature but this
is not insuperable objection by any means the
perience of other States shows.
We would like to this matter discussed by the press
generally. II can have party character, and think
the reason of the thing win be apparent to all

a. JIMMY JONES The announcement that exGoyern-
Jones' of Tennessee supporting the nomination and
election of John Netherland as the opposition candidate
for governor of that State is significant of the future
course of the great body of those odine wings who sup
ported Buchanan and the democracy AS they helped to
put in power the most prohigats administration the
try has had the term returning prodyai may well
be applied to them. We hope that they have had
felt of modern democracy ~ p. 4 b a...r. ..s. ....
We clip the above from the Georgia Chronicle and
Sentinel opposition paper, to remind our readers
that this same Jimmy Jones" is the identical indi
vidual that was heralded last summer as stumping
the State of Illinois in favor Of the reeection of Sen
ator Douglas. The southern democracy will under
stand from this how far, and to what extent, sympa
thy with the anti-Lecompton faction at the North
corresponds with The feeling for the success of
the democratic party in the South, At the North
the sympathizers with Judge Douglas claimed to be
as good democrats as could be found anywhere.
From the position Of the late senator from Tennessee
however, it that the opposition was more vital
than mere difference of opinion with the admins
tration on the Lecompon question. We opine that
this is only the beginning Of the developments that
will take place, in showing the hydra-headed mon
ster that is to come out Of this rebellion against the
democracy, from which the administration would
have saved the party. II is not yet too late to profit
by the sagacity and wisdom that the administration
exhibited that occasion, by rallying around the
old standard, and renewing our vows upon
that time-honored altar, which is the only true
aud safe one for the honest worsbppers of con
stitutiopa liberty. The present incumbent, Gov
Harris, and again the candidate of the demo-
cratic party for that Office in Tennessee, is as
true as any man ia the North or South. The CON
vention that nominated him endorsed the adminstra-
ton, which it seems calls forth opposition from
those who have heretofore supported it. We should
like TO know how those of our friends at the North
that have been mised by the of some Of the
northern democrats appreciate amalgamation with
an old-fashoned, federal, anti-Jackson, John Bull
wing for governor of Tennessee in the place of
whose democracy was never questioned, and whose
veneration for Jackson was never doubted. These
evidences Of rebellion against the democratic party
are different in different sections In Tennessee it
manfests itself in direct bold advocacy of the OPP
position In Pennsylvania it attempts 10 play upon
the credulity Of the public, by getting up bogus
convention TO indicate division in the party when
really no such division exists. They all tend, how
ever to the same object by the defeat Of the democ-
racy, and should meet with the same decided denuu-
citation. .,
