Reg~ Our neighbours Of the Herald having swallowed

ad vaiOren and evidently having little to say upon the
subject until fresh inspiration is received from head
quarters, amuse themselves by finding fault with Demo
cratic meetings. and the dongs therein. The Herald
INDUCES in long comment Mr. Halls remarks made
at the meeting of Tuesday night last and also offers some
sage and sapient advice and criticism to humble self
We think the Herald misapprehends the remarks of Mr.
Hall in his speech on Tuesday night in reference to the
Iecompton Constitution. He but alluded to it in pass
ing and in effect said the Southern oppostonsts alleged
that the Democratic party committed grave error IN
relation thereto. But that an error had been
committed, they ought at least to concede 1t was
committed while the party occupying ground deemed
by it advantageous for the promotion of Southern rights
and interests.
AS the Heratds criticisms On Mr.. Moore's knuckles-
the table, Mr.. Adermans manner Of sitting down, and
Mr. Fulton's manner Of getting up really amount to
nothing, ad VdOre, shall not trouble our readers
with any further reference thereto. AS the Herald has
as yet met argument against I'D vaorem-meets none
in its yesterdays ssue-and is likely to meet none here
AFTER we shall leave for the present without Offering
it any Democratic advice in return for its sage admon
lions. glance the Fayetteville Observer of some
time since, WILL perhaps reveal what distinguished
Opposition authority regards S peculiar sphere Of
labor and of success We would inform the Herald that
last week we conversed with more than one leading
member OF the opposition party who understood the
new hobby called al Ualorem, quite well enough to re-
pudate and denounce it. The Herald will be apt to
discover these things before the ricebrd and regatta
seasons return to comfort and console it.
BSg~ The Raleigh Register INDUCES in long crit
cgm upon the platform adopted by the Democratic State
Convention, and animadverts particularly upon that
which opposes the agitation for change of the Consti
tuton introduced into the politics of our State by the
opposition party The Register thinks that the use Of
the word premature, in connection with the word
unjust, vitiates the whole thing.
Permit us to ask the Register if in the prematulity
Of any course may not consist its injustice 1t may not
be wroLg lor Widower to get married again. but the
generally received opinion is that it would be premature
and unjust for man to take second spouse during the
life Of the first. If and enter into partnership and
under the terms OF that partnership contract certain debts
and other responsibilities it would be beth premature and
unjust for either to say to Tor to say to A, let
change the conditions of partnership as to shift the
liability of these debts already contracted with mutual
consent, from me to you. New terms may not be I'M
just after debts contracted under the old ones have been
paid; until then the agitation is premature and the
suit of its success would be injustice
These not the only reasons that might be advanced
for believing this agitation to be premature, and there
fore unjust does its injustice consist solely in its
prcmaturiy. 1t is impotic calculated to produce
divisions between sections and classes and it is danger
from the effect Of such divisions at home as we'll as
abroad It is dangerous alike in its present effects and
its future consequences.
