An esteemed friend in Greene writes us as
follows: 81 observed in the Standard a few weeks
ago that you intimated that after the State cleo
tons were over you would give the motives and
reasons which influenced your course at Baltimore,
and defend your position. Now do not propose
to dictate what course you should pursue, but
will say this much, that every body l have heard
speak about it, does already understand why you
thus acted, and have heard no Democrat impugn
your motives or question your sincerity. There
fore it would seem to to bea work of supererro-
CATION to attempt to convince your readers that
thing is right which they have never pronounced
wrong. Again, if you defend your position, some
body else may think it incumbent on them to defend
theirs, and hence injury may be done to the cause
in the MIDST Of the campaign" We have reflected
maturely upon the matter and we think we will
take the advice of our friend. We could not well
defend our own course at Baltimore without reflect
ing on the course Of those delegates who differed
with us and seeded from the Convention and we
have wish to do that Let by-gones be by cones.
We are satisfied that no Democrat in the State
doubts the sincerity or purity Of our motives in the
course we pursued at Baltimore. Under these cir
cumstances it is not necessary that we should make
any defence of course; and it is not expedient
because it might do harm to the cause. Let us all
rather unite to heal the breach, and to carry the
State in November next We can carry it, if we
will With Breckenridge in the South and Douglas
in the North let us make common cause against the
great common enemy, black Republlcansm; and
let US do this, not by Breckenridge and Douglas
tickets in the same States, but by anton tickets,
pledged to vote for the strongest against LIN
coin. In this way, and in this way alone can we
defeat the common enemy.

Mr. EDITOR Permit me, through your paper, to
submit few questions for the consideration of those
who are denouncing Douglas as untrue to the
South. y
Up to the meeting of the Baltimore Convention a
number of the delegates from this State, Messrs
Steele, HILL and Humphrey amongst them, preferred
Douglas Will they join in the abuse Of the man
who was then their choice? Do they approve such
unjust assaults on him? believe not
Up to the nominations at Baltimore, number of
the Electors were for Douglas amongst them Messrs
Scales and Haywood for the State at large and Dick
son. Fox, and Mclean for the Districts Will they
join in, justify or countenance the charge against
Douglas that he is untrue to the South? Has Mr..
Douglas said or done any thing since the Conven-
ton to destroy their confidence in hln0 Iething
whatever. He is the same noao that before
the Convention. Will the Electors, Iultify
themselves. by joining in the bitter al fdictive
cutlery against him? I should think not. Vas fair
minded men, how can they? '.-
number Of the Breckenridge and Lane delegates,
after the Convention adjourned, joined in an earnest
appeal to the Executive Committee of this State, to
call State Convention of the Democracy to pass
upon what had been done at Baltimore. Amongst
these were Messrs. Brown, Ashe Hill, Bridgers,
Humphrey, and others. If they felt confident they
had authority to do what they had DONE and that it
bound their constituents, why did they so earnestly
desire Convention to approve or pass upon their
acts? If they had as I insist no right to quit the
Baltimore Convention, and bind their constituents
to the acts of the seceders what body representing
the Democracy of the State has convened since that
time, to bind any to the action of the Breckin-
ridge and Lane Conventions None whatever.
And yet the friends Of Douglas are disorganisers
A more unjust judgment was never pronounced
and if they will but meet the issue, with boldness,
the people will say SO.

Let us Unite on One Ticket.

We commend the following, from the last Will
mington Journal, to the Douglas Democrats Of this
State:
with all courtesy, and all sincerity, we appeal
to every man, who in good faith might prefer
body else to Breckenridge, to pause before he be-
comes a party to any movement calculated to dis
tract the Democratic party in this State. If not his
first choice Breckenridge is man against whose,
honesty, Democracy and nationality, nothing can
be urged Be not then led into a factious position
by the nsidous appeals of the Opposition and their
coadutors.n
v hat good can come Of running taoo Democratic
Electoral tickets in this State? None whatever.
Such course-could not benefit Judge Douglas, but
it might throw the vote of the State for Bell and
Everett Is there Democrat in the State who de-
sres to see the ten Electoral votes of North Carolina
cast for Bell and Everett?
We ask the Douglas Democrats if the ticket which
are supporting will not be as fair one for Doug
las, in certain event, if it were really Douglas
ticket If the vote of this State will elect Douglas
or place him in the House. and if that vote will nei
Their elect Breckenridge place him in the House,
the Douglas Democrats may rest assured that the
vote will; be cast for Douglas What more can be
aseparate ticket and thus, in all probability giving
the State to Bell and Everett? The Democrats of
Pennsylvania have united on the same ticket, and
there are well-grounded hopes that the Democrats
of New York will do the same Let US 60 with
those two great States in presenting united front
to the common enemy.

For the Standard
Mr.. HoLDEN:-I ask, as an act of justice to the
Breckenridge and Lane supporters, the insertion in
your next No. of the following communication:
writer in the last issue of the standard, under |
the signature of g Ballot Box" asks the "candd |
attention of his fellow-ctizens, to what he is pleas
ed to call the harsh and unfair treatment Of the
Douglas Democrats at the hands of the friends of
Breckenridge" 1t must be obvious to any unbiased
mind that the supporters of B. and L. have been so
lenient to both the Opposition and Douglas Demo
Gratis that any other forbearance is fast losing
them, not only personal repect, but all the ln1u
ence which the orthodoxy of their political creed is
entitled to command at the hands of the Southern
people If any evidence were wanting of this fact
it has been furnished by ballot Box" himself;
for a more unamiabe or ill-mannered article never
appeared in the columns of newspaper. Predica-
ting his article upon the complaint solely of ill
treatment he should have been the last to use harsh
epithets. He who sets out to ask justice must
first purge his own conscience--neithcr Christian
nor lawyer ask justice and forbearance till him
SELF at least shall have shown courtesy, if not
cy. Such surely is not the ethics of Ballot Box"
for in half column of the Standard, he sir times
brands the supporters of B. and L. "Seceders "
three times ''Seceder's Patrol "-and once "Seced-
er's Hangmcn." This, l submit, is privilege of
Billingsgate which the writer was precluded from
adopting; BECAUSE 1st He petitions for justice, for
leniency. Cd If he is as patriotic as he processes
he tuust foresee the consequence of thus widening
the honest difference of opinion now unhappily ex-
isting among us.
know not who the author is; but obviously he
is 2racticed campaigner; for he uses the word
"seceder" with too much artistic skill not to know
from former experience that in impressing upon the
minds of the people of the South the probable
ity of dsunon, that he does to that extent fright
en- them from prompt and vigorous assertion of
their equal rights under the federal constitution.
Such has been the mode of warfare hitherto adopt
ed and it is not the least embarrassing obstacle in
the proper maintenance Of our rights that the
| States Rights Democracy have ever had to repel
the charge of dsunion, against the old opposi-
ton. Again Ballot Box says, they (we) have
read the publicly expressed permission of the high
Priest Of the 'Seceders,' Mr.. Buchanan" Is this
writer "show-nuf" Democrats of the organisa-
ton school. ask you sir, political Nestor,
is this the talk of loyal subject? of true disci
pie of the CROSSE Or is he some Neophyte? Ger
tainly he has either been brought up in, he has
