Uresis of their constituents to be thus ruthlessly trampled in the dust, by the rroa heel of a tyrant cat majority. The hour of adjoarnment was fast approaching, and the Whigs still persisted in their determination to prevent the passage of this abonn nable bill. The Democrats seeing this, became very rma'h alarmed, lest the Legielatnre would be forced to bresk up. and leave the State without a Legislatwre. They became alarmed, because they knew that the only alternative Icft.woald be to call an extra acssion tor the purpose ol calling rent alien of the people a great bng.bear with Tr.e Democrats to reestablish the Legislature ; " There's the respect. That makes calamity of so long life." They knew that if a convention was called the people would amend the constitution to suit them selves, ss well ss reestablish the Legislature, and that ' Free Suffrage " would no longer be a hobby hor-e tor the party to ride another candidate into the Gubernatorial Chair. Yes, frightened st this idea, the party came to terms, and submitted to a plan which gives to the Democrats twenty-sii, and to the hies twenty. four Senatorial Districts.- Of coarse if a convention should be called, it would be called to amend the Constitution in all points where the people desired it. Noble Whigs ! you deserve the lasting gratitude of your country, for thus boldly and fearlessly asserting her rights. Lrgislstive Responsibility. In our Legislature, which hsa just closed its session, the Democrats had a clear majority of two on joint ballot, and yet they failed to elect a l S. nitor. For this they are accountable to the country. If they could notagrecamong themstlvea on this subject, rather than Itt the Statu go un represented, it was their duty to have proposed some man of their party, who was acceptable to the Whigs, and to the other wijg of their party. They have enough of such men in their ranks, who would have done honor to the post, and the Whigs and conservative leinocrats would have supported one of this stamp if he had been proposed. But party spirit snd party dictation interposed to stifle the will and interests of the people. It is believed that the Governor's power to appoint extenca only to cases of death or resignation, snd if so, our State will go unrepresented, except by oi,e Sens, tor, for the next two years, commencing from the 4th of M irch next, at which time Mr. Mangum's term expires. We understand that the Governor, believing this, has determined not to attempt to exercise the authority to fill the vacancy. Again. The Free Suffrage Bill was killed by the failure, or rather by the refusal of the Speaker of the Senate to esst his vote, who is a wool-died Democrat. For this, the Democrats are alone to blame, and not the Whigs. They were not elected to support Free Suffrage by legislative enactment. but on the contrary to support their favorite mea. sure, a Lonvcntion of the tlie people to amend the Constitution, and therefore, if they had voted for the Free Suffrage Bill they would have violated the wishes of their constituents. The Speaker of the Senate wns also elected because of his op. position to Free Suffrage. Yet it may be said that the Governor's election is the fairest indi. estion of the wishes of the people on this sub. jeet. This is true, but it will be remembered that the Governor was not elected by a two-thirds ma jority of the people, and our Constitution cannot be amended by a large major. ty vote indicated in this way. This is another evidence that the peo ple, by a constitutional majority, sre not in favor of Free Suffrage. The Standard and liis Partr. The editor of the " Standard," in his last issue, issues his Bull of excommunication against those members of tils party who, in the late legislature, refused to suppurt the " nominee " of the caucus for United States Senator, and declined voting for Free Suffrage. He delil-rab ly reads them out of tiie ranks of the party, and tells their constituents :n a dictori.tl tone that the v must not supyoit these men any more for office. That they are unworthy of confidence of the party. Wc agree that it is the duty of the "Standard," and all other papers, to read men out of a party, when they desert their principles from corrupt motives That is the course which our party invariably pursues. But the " Standard " should recollect that the Demo cratic party in this State has two sides upon, at least, two questions of the present day, one of which is a mtlcr of great public momel.t in the the St-ile, we sllude to the subject of the right secession.

FOP, THE NORTH-CAROLINA WIIIO. Will the public mind be eternally gulled by vaunting demagogues aud men of strictest piety, virtue aud honor and of high intel lectual and moral worth trampled upon by the bard hofed criticisms aud abuse of presumptuous meddlers T It is to be hoped, that, iu an age like this an age of reason .aJid judgment, men will be taught, that" not all that glitters is gold.

These thoughts were called forth from read ing an article iu a recent Dumber of the " Asheville JIngseuger " headed " Colleges vs. Bald-Face." 'lhe author of the piece, I presume is " Son of Temperance." So am 1, Dut onij so lar as tne true principles of the Order are carried out. It would be useless to saj that the grand and funda tueudal object of the Order w Temperance, lScnevolcuce and Urotherly Love to do good and not evil. Thus far go I aud no farther. But some seemingly warm ana enthusiastic members of the Order radically uibtake the means of bringing about this good result. They not only bring down contempt and ridicule upon the Order and all connected with it, but violate tue pre ccpts of the Bible aud offend against high Heaven by " doing evil that good may come." 'Ibis, I conceive to be the purport and tendency of the article referred to The author is badly posted up on the sub ject he attempt to handle. And persons who are well acquainted with the bitory of Davidson College and character, princi ples and professions of its t'rcsidrut aud Professors would think, that he hazzards a good deal in transmitting through the f ress, to public censure fuch vague assertions and misrepresentations. He seems to be eutircly ignorant of or grossly misinformed as to the history, laws and operations of Davidson College' or character and pretentious of its President and Professors. If this were not the case, he could not, if he be what he professes to be, coocienciously charge upon the Administration of a Literary institution, things of which it is wholly innocent. First be accuses the " President and Professors " of" habitually using ardent spirits, pleading lor its perpetuity, defending its concomitant vices and sneering at the temperance re form '' which is so grosly absurd that it needs no comment. It U a well known and established fact that the President and Pro fessors arc all strictly temperance men and professed advocates of temperance and truly temperance principles. President is a tacit opposer of tne Order of "sont of Temper ance." He is not its only opposer. And be opposes it, not on account ol iu temperance principles, but its secrecy. We believe he is honest in his opinions aud he has a perf ect right to them. Again he says, that the " President not only drinks at times but set himself up as a sort of censurer of temperance reform, car ries his hard-shell notions so far into the cxtrenis as to forbid and prohibit by abso lute edict the delivering of a temperance lecture in the Halls or elsewhere about the premises of the College buildings, while it is notoriously known, that in the same Halls, he has permitted strolling Slagc-V layers, singers aud dancer to let off at their hearts content and he present." If the man can establish any of these assertions, then he can prove that the world is a flat surface resting upon a turtlis back, that volcanic actions result from the turnings and groan ings of some reprobate heathen god, that the moon is made of " green cheese " or any thing else as absurd. As to the pro hibiting of White to speak, though he had the right and would have been perfectly justifiable in prohibiting him to " let of his cannon " on the College premises, he only refused him the ue of the Chapel. He as refused to speak in the society Hallo not by the President or Professors or their influence, but by t!ie edict of the members of the societies. And were the same appli cation to be made a thousand times over it would meet with the same treatment. But it L said this is prohibiting free discussion." What is free discussion ? Is it after a set of holiest men having once innocently permit ted a lion " in sheep's clothing" to enter their borders and abuse and lampoon them in a most ridiculous manner, without any pro vocation, thus that should blindly permit him to do the same thing over apain ! Is ridicule and slander " free discussion !" Are efforts to destroy character and trample good and honest men in the dust " free dis cussion ?'' Then " free discussion " has been prohibited at Davidson College. As to " permitting strolling Stage-Players and singers and dancers let off to their hearts consent" in the Chapel there is need of nothing else to confute it than reference to . ,.c t,..,u 1 - 11 . 1 ' . - ' ' nu mis ai'fuai uu. u nilu the hUtorj of the College, who will testify to the contrary. Again he accuses the Venerable Doctor " as he terms him of " laying in twenty dol lars worth of liquor at first cost for a wed ding fiarty at his own house." This ii a maliciou-ly fabricated falsehood, not by the a.nhor of the piece under consideration but by (some one else or " Mr. Nobody " or " Mr. Mvddlcsomc " or no body knows who. It can be proved that the " liquor " referred to were not used either as a beverage at the " wedding party " or for private family drink. But as thi-j matter I presume will be clearly and satisfactorily btated to the public soon, I farbear saying more con cerning it. But again he says that " he (meaning the President) has long used, set out at Ins house ana countenanced the use of wic;g and spirituous liquors." This like all the rot of the i... .,.. - it . ...1 r .1 ti 1 "u . . . u .

The writer docs not intend in these re D,arks t0 the falsehoods and tnisre- presentations on the author of the article l? hludy the school-boy s lesson for compo- ' ition " study well your subiect and write nothing but what you know to be true."
