AT the inauguration of the Southern Government Mr.
Stevens was selected Vice President account of
his known ability and loyalty the Souh-not for the
purpose of concating the Douglas party; for we re-
peat that party not strong enough to do harm or
array formidable opposition if it desired to do So
However, it is unnecessary to talk about and dis
cuss past occurrences now, therefore we regret to
see such articles that of the Examiner. There

friend of the Fayetteville Observer SAYS that
all he has said about party and party feeling since
this war began has been in depreciation of their mani

manner Of expressing the deprecaton has been call

Mr. Jonathan Worth chairman of the Committee of
Finance in the Legislature, and the haunting remark

not calculated kill off party feeling. We looked
upon the appointment of Mr. Worth as a complimentary
one from those politically opposed to him, and
made because there democrat in the Senate able
to fill the position, the Observers remark would
seem to intimate And the Observers complaint
about the formation of the Congressional Districts we
thought unnecessary, for the bill advocated by as
strong wing there is in the Legslaure-Mr
Gaher-and the Districts are probably compact
ana fair rs it possible to make them.
We did '.rebuke' the Observer because of its
quotations from other papers against party feeling
or about the ncompctency bad management of
the Legislature. THE Observer is welcome copy
articles that point and expect to stand up
to what have said.D Neither did for moment
doubt the cordially of the Observer in supporting the
of the country. The Observer, and all other
former Union papers in this State have rallied the
support of the Southern with all The zeal iii their
power, and know they have done their full share
sustaining the war, always expected they would
do. There is for any comp lnt Of that kind
against friend We have been nighIy gratri"d at
the unanilnity which prevails among all parties and
classes in uphOlding the government Of the tomftd-
crate States and endorsing Davis and Stephens. But
what meant in abiding to the party feeling of the
Observer and other papers was their occasional taunS
of the democratic party and seeming disposition
make it appear that only democrats disposed to
keep up party lines. There doubt individual
democrats who prefer to keep party lines drawn,
there individual wings who do so, but the masses
of both parties desire such thing and therefore
that neither party should be blamed or rIdcuied
sneercd at for the acts of certain individuals
We believe the Observer does desire to eschew party
in this crisis bu its dislike of the old democratic party
shows itself occasionally Notwithstanding good ntel-
tions.
