Cracking the Whip.

The Albemarle So,dhrOn, a new opposition paper
published at Murfreesboro in Hon. VIM. Fl. n Smiths
congressional district 10 its issue of the 10th
in more than one article with reference to that gentle
mans course in connection with the pledges and state
ments made on his behalf n the House of Representa-
ves in virtue of which he secured the support OF several
gentlemen who otherwise would not have voted for him
for Sneaker These pledges to the effect that Mr..
Smith had not been member of the so-called Ameri
can party did not subscribe to its distinctive tenes
was opposed to its proscrptive features, etc., etc.,
some statements going far to say that Mr. Smiths
friends gave private that Mr. Smith said be
had denounced the American party"
The whole tenor of the conversation in Congress or
the memorable Friday when Mr. Smith came so near be-
ing made Speaker certainly goes to show that Mr. Smiths
friends did, by authority from him. and by his assent
pressed by silence repudiate on his behalf, any
ton or utilization with the American party" any
sympathy with its peculiar doctrines which then
and there denounced as proscriptive and intoerant
1t is on this account that the Souron comes out in
demand for an xpanaon from its Representative 1t
demands that Mr. Smith SHALL in his place in the House
of Representatives, publicly explain himself. "What
does Mr.. Smith mean by being opposed to the proscr
tive features of the American party? AS he has de-
cIared that he has been unwavering old line Wing
what principle if any, OF the American party does he
endorse?' So asks the Souhron, and it plainly init
mates in long leading article which appears to speak
by authority that unless they answered satisfactory
ly, Mr.. S. will find himself thrown overheard in favor
of " Rayner, Pool, Hardy, Barnes" who, with
many Others not ashamed to defend the principles
of the American party"
We fear that Mr. Smiths liberality has got him into
bad scrape with the party that elected him. 1t might
be advantageous to catch votes for him an old line
Whig" but to him he really acts up to that char
acter in Congress- any thing else in practice than
member of the American party and an endorser of its
peculiar doctrines which not Wing doctrines, while
the platform of that party openly asserts that it has
risen upon the ruins OF the Wing party equally with
those of the Democratic party.

Our state and District Conventions.

Generally speaking, the several counties have held
meetings and appointed delegates to the State Conven
tion to meet at Raleigh On the 9Th of March, and to
the District Conventions to meet at such time and place
in each district the party in such district may agree
upon.
We trust that the few counties that have not yet act
ed will do so at the earliest convenient day. there is
little time to lose and need hardly urge upon our
Democratic friends the Importance of thorough organize
ton. The moral effect of full and enthusiastic Con-
vention is difficult to over-estimate.
AS to the time and place of holding district Con
Ventons there seems to be some difference of opinion
AS things stand now, it would appear that the lower
counties, Sampson, Dupn Brunswick, Columbus and
New Hanover, prefer Wilmington, without agreeing upon
any definite time, in the of Sampson and Du
pin, while the upper countless Cumberland Harnett,
Robeson Richmond, and we think Baden, suggest and
would prefer Fayetteville.
Now, if the Convention is held in Wilmington, we will
all try to accommodate its members. If held in Fayette
vile, we at least will be willing we are not dele
gate-all we want is to know what to announce How
shall this be done? We humby suggest that the Chair
of the several county meetings be so kind as to send
to this Office and that of the Carolinian their views and
then that we and friend of the Carolinia announce
the time and place accordance with the views of those
speaking for the majority Of the Democrats of the District
These matters of organization must be attended to if
the party would retain its healthy ascendancy. 1t
