From the Raleigh Standard. Tlic Campaign. We feel it to be our duty to say to our Demo cratic friends that we be.ieve ihe leuerat tenner, have but little if any hope of electing Oen. Docke TV and that ihev will bend all their energies to elect a majority 'in the Legislature. This, we are ou.te satisfied.' is the feeling among the well in nf ihe onnosite party, and such will be their nnlirv Their Resolution m relation to a Utnen- j iion to amend the Constitution was so framed as to be used to suit all sections of the State ; and IB didates for the Legislature will av thev arc for Free Suffrage in another, that . they are against it, and for electing various officers by the people in another, mat iney oiuee iu Legislature cannot call a restricted Convention, and iherefore that, if called, it will be Iree to maka uch changes in the basis and otherwise as they .., nlinnsp. Thev are thus armed, as they sup- Uinj j , - - kp to fiL'ht to the best advantage in all loca.i- Our main reliance (or defeating them ana lor securing a majority, is in our principles; out ocxi to this, is organization. By this we mean accep table candidates for the legislature, brought oui, wherever expedient or necessary, by Convention ; and then union and energy.

The federal leaaers, o themselves, can effect nothing in this rwspeel ; our only cause of apprehension ts in divisions or want of energy among ourselifs. Let us then resolve, in view of the tmuscendant importance of the next election, to do our whole duty. The tide of triumph is weenintr over the land for us : we have every hint? in one onrnire and animate us. i el no sou- staniial or beneficial result was ever attained without sacrifice and effrt. Those of our friends in the various Counties, who are hesitating about taking the field for the Assembly, ought to bear this in mind ; and let every man act under the im pression, which must arise from due reflection, that the issue ol the campaign may depend upon his exertions. We have a wily adversary to encoun ter, who will leave no xp' dient, no trick, BO effort untried to command success. This is the last struggle of fi dernlism in North Carolina ; and it will show itself alike unscrupulous and depornte in its aitemp'8 to retain life and to grasp the offi ces and honors of the State.
