Indeed, it is safe to affirm that the party in this

democracy will have their votes-and whoever is
nominated at Charleston will have ours and that of

The Union according to the Constitution.

We yield to one in devotion to the Union
according to the Constitution. But we cannot go
with those in this State and elsewhere who would
subordinate the Constitution to the Union-who
would hug the empty and destructive forms to their
bosoms after the spirit has departed The best
Union IN tie country are those ,cho insist mast
earnestly and NEST constantly on strict observance
Of all the provisions and requirements or the Com
stitution. We must guard every approach to The
citadel. If we surrender one gate and the enemy
once enters, every portion of our tower Of defence
will in the end be wrestcd from us. That member
of partnership who consents to one deliberate in
faction by other members of the partnership of the
articles of agreement only pavcs the way for sue
cession of ntractonS which will sweep away, as the
cupdity the passions of his copartners may deter
mine, every interest which he may have in the con-
Germ. AS the New Oceans Zee well says
There is certain class of individuals who pro-
claim themselves lovers of the Union, but are nsti-
gated by very different motives and Intentions
They are perpetually Shrieking imprecations upon
all who venture to breathe hint of the possibility
of dissolution of the Union, and announcing their
invincible determination, under all conceivable cir
cumStanceS resist the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the con.
fedcracy. Conspicuous among these bold and blat-
ant vaporers are the Black Republicans. They claim
to he par excellence Umon men They are always
ready to declare their attachment to the Union and
to denOunce the South for what they term its trea-
sonabe assaults. The aninating principle of the
Back Republicans is ready discovered. They would
have the Union last just long as they can with
IMMUNITY harass and Cypress the South just so
long Southern agricultural industry ministers to
Northern rapacity; just long as the Southern
sheep quietly suffers its wool to be plucked by the
Northern shearers. This is the gist and marrow of
black Republican love of the Union Why should
they not wish this of things endure forever
1t is all to their advantage They steal our slaves
and encourage instruction and rapine on the one
hand, while on the other they wax wealthy by the
manufacture Of Southern cotton, and BY supplying
the South with zen thousand products Of the North
Of course, they good Union men,"

Out, says the Standard we will support the NOM
inee OF the Charleston convention against the can
d'date OF the black Republican party, Uhoerer he
may be.
May not the Standard have an opportunity to do
better than that There is great Union, Constitu-
ttOn, and lao enforcing party springing into exis
tenee. VIII! the Standard support squatter sov.
eregnty candidate in preference to the candidate OF
that party ?-Salisbnry Waterman.
We have heard much Of but have never yet seen
any Union Constitution and law enforcing party"
equal to the national Democratic party. Such par
ties, organized by our Opposition friends, spring up
like Jonah's gourd and wther in night. In 1s4s
We had the noparty Taylor Union party, led by the
same John J. Crittenden who is about to save the
Union again in this year of grace 1860; in 1859
we had the Scott-Seward noparty Union party
and we had second WASHINGTON in the venerable
Scott until after the election; IN 1856 we had the
conservative" Fillmore, who now so deeply regrets
that he had to approve and enforce the fugitive
slave law, and who received but handful of votes
in the non-saveholdng States and now we suppose
we are to have new edition of these tremendous
efforts to save the Union first, the Constitution
next, and then to enforce the laws so far as the
black Republicans will permit it to be done.
We have no idea of going with contemporary
OF the Waterman, nor do we expect him to go with
u.s. Like EPhraim he is Joined to his idols his
great idol being opposition TO Democracy. We in
tend to support the nominee of the Charleston Con-
venton, whoever he may be. We believe that six
hundred Democrats assembled at Charleston from
every part of the Republic, will be better able than
we will be- or than any other Democrat will be, to
say who is the proper and the best man to be sup
ported against the black Republicans Even
"squatter sovereignty" candidate would be as sound
on the question of slavery in the territories as Mr.
Fillmore is, who was supported by the Wdtchman
in 1s56,-as sound, if not sounder for Mr. Fillmore
earnestly opposed the abrogation of the Missouri
restriction by which Southern shareholders were let
in to all the territories and Mr. Fillmore was and is
in favor of the Wimot proviso
Let the Watchman look to it. while opposing the
only national party in the country that it does not
aid and strengthen the black Republican party
When an injury is inflicted it makes no difference,
so tr as the suffering resulting from is concerned,
whether it inflicted Intentionally or from
blindness, carelessness, prejudice, passion. Let
the Wdtchmdn think Of that.

Mr.. Clingman's speech.
The last Goldsborough Tribune says:

The last Goldsborough Tribune says:
1--WE present in this number an extract from the
speech of Mr.. Clingman, much talked of and so
highly approved by the South, and many of the
best and wisest men of the North There is no part
of this speech but what is truthful and instructive
but we have given as much space as we can we'll
spare for this service"
Mr. Clingman's speech has received the highest
encomiums in all quarters of the country 1t is one
of the abest speeches eve. delivered in Congress
the question of slavery.
North-C Carolina was never more ably represented
in the America Senate than she is now. Such men
as Clingman and Bragg would make their mark for
ability discretion and force of character in any de-
Lucrative body in the world.

Mr.. Higgins on the wrong Track.

Ata Wing" meeting-the nsD Wing party
held in Onslow on the 14th instant, the following
among other resolutions was adopted: >;
"ResOlred, That we do not think Gov John w
Ellis is Of enlarged statesmanlke views sufficient tn
govern State. from expression he used when
canvassing for Governor, when he remarked that he
did not think any question was important as that
of keeping the Democratic party together"
This resolution was reported by committee con-
ssting of Messrs. Owen Higgins E. W. Montfort,
and R. F. Pelletier-Mr. Higgins Chairman of the
Committee, or Mr.. Higgins, as we find the name in
the Wilmington Herald.
Now Mr.. Higgins has done Gov Ellis gross in
justice. Gov. Ellis maintained every where in his
last campaign, as he will doubtless maintain in the
next that the great stay and hope of the Union is
the national Democratic party; and that as the
preservation of a Constitutional Union is of para
mount importance, so the unity and integrity of the
only party which can preserve the Union are of
equal Importance Gov. Ellis has never placed his
party obligations above either his State or the Union
but he has claimed that the highest interests of
both in his opinion, involved in the continued
integrity and ascendency of the Democratic party.
In this opinion he has the satisfaction of knowing
that he is sustained by large majority of the peo
pie Of North Carolina.
Mr.. Higgins is to-day much more inveserate
partizan than Gov. Ellis. The latter is not so pre-
JUDGED nor so iliberal to see nothing good or
nothing commendable in the opposition organization
as 1t exists in this State but we venture to affirm
that Mr. Higgins is the bitterest among the bitter
OF those who oppose Democracy simply because it
as Democracy. Gov. Ellis has reasons for opposing
Know NothingiSm or modern Whiggery, and he is
ready to announce those reasons frankly to the people
as he has heretofore done; but We think it more
than probable that Mr.. Huggns opposes Democracy,
as he sustained Harrison in 1910, without why
or q wherefore
