The YANKEES FOR HuMBuRG FoREvER.-A thou
sand and one snbteruges will be resorted to by the
dozen casters to heal the indignation of the Southern
people at recent outrages. We received on Monday
night from friend in New York two specimens Of
Calico manufactured at Lowell for the Spring trade
Neither of them will make up half as we'll as our
home manufactured goods, nor prove half service
able. On one of the specimens there is figure of
two hands clasped, surrounded by the words, The
Union Forever" This is humbug number one and
is a good CATCH and one that will tell upon our
Southern people when the merchants shall have re-
ceived their Spring purchases The other specimen
has figure in the centre of which are the words,
1.-THE Constitution must be preserved" This is
humbug number two; and though the manufactur-
ers Of these fabrics niger worshippers and free
dom shriekers they will be enriched by unusually
large sales during the present season to Southern
dealers, who, when the Spring opens, will divide it
out to niggers and white folks at 10 cents yard

Nationality Of the Democracy.

The Register says 1.-THE Raleigh Standard is con-
stantly striving to humbug its readers by telling
them that the only hope for the South is in the
tendency of the ,tional Democratic party"
Now, the STANDARD never attempts to hnm5ug or
deceive its readers. 1t leaves humbug and deccp-
ton to the Register That paper subsi>ts politically
by humbuggery and misrepresentation. 1t could
not subs,st otherwise, for the feeling and the judg
ment of the country against its course. Its de.
nunciationS of the national Democracy are di<ap-
proved of by at least onc-half of its own friends,
while the Democrats themselves are not at all trou-
bled by its course because they know thu habit the
Register has OF taking one position to-day and an
other tomorrow, and because they know also that
its attacks upor them furnish the bes: evidence that
they are right.
We lack space to-day to so into the proofs Of the
nationality OF the Democracy, but We will call the
Registers attention to two facts. In the first
place the national Democratic party is recognized
everywhere, both in this country and in Europe, aS
the only great antagonist Of the sectional black Re-
publican party. In the seconl place, it holds its
tional Conventions as we'll in the slavehodng as in
the nonslaveholding States, which the black Re-
publcans cannot do; and it generally elects its
dates for President as Demo.rats,--ana We know
that the egistes party in its best days coul
elect any of its candidates Whigs. In the third
place, the Democratic party has President who
maintains the absolute equality of the savehold;ng
with the non-saveholding States, and whose opin-
ions the subject of slavery sound as those
of the Editor of the Register and those with whom
he acts in the Southern States.
When the Register meets these three facts we
will give him the fourth one.
The Register would do more for itself for the
country, and for the cause Of good government il,
instead of abusing the national Democratic party il
would turn its batteries against the black Repub-
licans

The House still Unorgaui.ed.

The House of Representatives is still unorgani-
zed, though some six weeks have elapsed since the
members assembled in Washington. Only one vote
for Speaker has been taken for a week past.
This condition of things may well excite the Sc
rious attention of the country. 1t is not the want
of legislation, or the Inconvenience or loss which
any portion of our citizens may experience on. &C.
count of this want that so deeply concerns the
country, but it is the spirit of violent and deadly
antagonism between sections which is thus revealed
and which, instead of diminishing as the result of
votes and discussions appears to increase in volume
and intensity. 1t is true the House may organize
on any day, but its organization at ALL in its pres
ent condition, is barely possible The best Informed
public men at Washington are in doubt as to wheth
er an organization can be effected with the mater
ais Of which the House is composed The black Re.
pubcans are just now urging the plurality or mi
nority rule, but Southern members have determined
that that rule shall not be adopted Meanwhile the
Republicans adhere tenaciously to their nomi-
nee, Sherman, and seem determined that the House
shall submit to an endorser of the Helper book as
Speaker or none. So far as the Democrats arc con-
ccrned they have exhausted all their efforts IS q
party to organize the House. Starting with true
man (Mr. Bocock) fo- Speaker, they have abandoned
HIM and repeatedly changed their candidate, in the
hope that all the South Americans would unite with
them in their efforts to defeat Sherman but in this
they have been disappointed. They have gone far
ther than this and voted for South Americans, brt
even here they have not been sustained by all the
South Americans
The Democrats have thus far refused, ard VIC
think very properly refused to vote for Mr. Gilmer.
We do not believe Mr.. Gilmcr desires to sec the
House organized until his "Union party" project
shall have received all the strength it can from the
present disorganiscd condition of things Mr.. Gil
mer is thinking Of his party and of his own future
promotion. He has not get giren the first rote for
Democrat for Speaker, and the probability is that
he never will vote for Democrat. And yet his
friends in this State are very modestly calling on
the Democrats to vote for him.
What is to he the end Of the contest for Speaker
it is impossible to predict.
