On entering up- ii the discharge f our duties il is no doubt ; . uiected that ire will enunciate or at least j ..;u an outline of the principles by which I v. i-shall he controlled in performing the j labor- encumbent upon an Editor. At all time and under all circumstance the part be who presides orer the columns I public journal i necessarily compelled , to perform is fraught with grave rcsouu Unities; but especially at this time is the uiMti -n a responsible one in view id the fact thai an important crisis exists i:i the affairs "iir country- a crisis in which every public n an (and especially every southern man) mast act well bis part; a t with ind ration am', prudence, but with firmness; fif uoii such action depends the continued union f the States ! their ulti- , mate dissolution.

There is a ft rong and pwerful jmrty in sixteen States of tin; lni":i arrayed in bitter hostility to the institutions and constitutional privileges of t!..- rdnveholding States southern men are dt-nb ! equal rights, and have been cir cumscribed by osiioiis restrictions, until forbearance ha eeas-d to be a virtu;-, and ! .: 'X submission to the encroachments tf the North wiwhl deserve reproach and con demnation.

The Constitution is the compromise that . , wish to see maintained, and by it we are i j !i it to stand. In the language oi a In -in r statesman, we believe that thc perpo I '. of the General Government and t!.e . . and harmony of the States, deptvid :i the preservation of the gi in ral priu , iple which runs through the whole Con stitution, that Federal aud State powers slnmld move and act in separate and tis tinct orbits." Considering tin condition of things, how important i! i- lor those who take a part to fulfil it tlial the inter sted may not bai i ccasion to complai f rashni or neirli- pcure. Indeed, the editorial chair is no iiiuiportant place. The position of an Editor balso respon - le alien v,'e consudtr. the moral and social :i. ct his ciiirse may lm upon the com : !t in which he resides. 1 ' y virulent laugtutge aud bastyaud imprudent counsel, tiitiniosities arc frequently engendered be tweeu neigliWrs and friends, w hich, with a little more caution on the part of party leaders, might he avoided. Iteing sensible impressed with the impor tance of the undertaking, we commence the discharge of the duties appertaining to :t ii t without forebodings of our inability to pvi- entire satisfaction, yet with an anxi ihis desire to merit the confidence ol party friends and at tlie same time treat political opponent- with that deference and respect which might always to characterize the conduct of cent lemon. Hut while we are solicitous on tliis- point, we expect to be ft Mind occupying ih cided ground in regard t the quextious which divide the political parta-s of the day; aud in advocating the principles which meet our approbation and hearty CO-ope ration, we intend to do so without undue regard to the frowns or smiles of any one. remembering that a con M"iousness of being right is better than the applause of the multitude. Courtesy demands that the feelings and opinions of all should be respected -particularly when nnintons are honestly enter tained and made to accord with consistency. Therefore,, no offensive personalities shall obtain a place in our columns, believing that it is a weak cause which requires to be bolstered by personal abuse and low epi thets. To this position we intend to adhere. Bj argument and fair dealing WO hope to establish the justness of our cause and thus - istaia and secure the success of the princi ples we have espoused. The "Western Democrat" will continue to he the lirm and uncompromising advo cate of the measures of the groat Democra tic Partv, convinced as we arc that its policy is correct and best calculated to govern the country and secure permanent peace, comfort and happiness to every sec tion. Entertaining these views, no oppor tunity will be lost to show the fallaciousness and errors of the opposition, and the evil tendencies of know-nothingism (ycleped Americanism), abolitionism, and all other isms arrayed in opposition to tho demo cratic party. As we are a stranger to the people of this section, it may not he amiss to state that wo are a North Carolinian by birth and education, have always resided in the State and expect ever to feel an abiding interest in her welfare. In tho language of one of her favorite sons we can exclaim li Carolina! Carolina! Heaven's blessings at tend her!" The inhabitants of this part of the State have long borne the reputation of being a chivalrous and hospitable people. Here in old Mecklenburg the first shout for inde pendence was raised, which was echoed and re-echoed from the mountains to the sea shore, until the minions of monarchy were driven from the land, and the stars and stripes now wave in majestic grandeur over the heads of thousands of the descendants of patriotic sires. It is among such a peo ple that wo wi.-h to reside, and unite our fortune with theirs. We fondly cherish the hope that with a reasonable experience with the business we have in hand, a share of confidence and patronage will he merited. We n-k in advance that our friends will " lie to our faults a little blind, And to our virlut sj ever kind." WM. J. YATES. !

Morehead, of this State, made a speech in the lute whig Convention in I Baltimore, and took positions which we consider calculated to injure the South and t. invite northern aggression. In that speech lie assumed that the Union "never cau he dissolved." Now, we do not wish to le understood as doubting Gov. More- bead's hive for southern institutions, or of questioning his motives for uttering such sentiments, but we do say that the speech alluded to is not calculated to do the South good or cause northern men toacknowledge our rights. Northern orators have fre quently remark d that "the South canuot be kicked out of the Union" that there is no danger of a dissolution that all the talk tit the South about her rights is ail bluster and has no meaning, Wc admit that southern men are loth to sunder the bonds which hind us together as a common people, but tin re is a point beyond which the South cannot permit the North to go without sacrificing her elf-respect. When Gov. M. tells the northern people that there is no danger of dissolution, he de ceives them as to tho true state of feeling at the South, and thus encourages a spirit of opposition to our peculiar institutions. We have always thought that if the north ern people could he made to understand that the South was in earnest in her pro testations agaiut northeru interference, and really did not intend to submit to in solence and tyranny any longer, a very different course would he pursued by them, and our rights conceded without serious opposition. How can we expect to bring the North to her senses as hmg as southern men like Gov. Morehead proclaim hat the I ' n ion canuot and shall not be dissolved. ( ):i this point we beg permission to differ with the honorable gentleman. .Many oi his own partv. we are sure, non-concur in his declaration and entertain a different opinion. It i- to he regretted that the South does not show a more united front when her rights are infringed and her future safety threatened. Rkmove Him. Professor Hedrick of the N. C. University, was accused by a corres pondent -f the l.'alei rh Standard of being a black republican. The Standard of Satur day contains ;i communication from the Professor i:i defence f himself. Bat it makes the matter worse, for he declares in favor of Fremont and against slavery. Standard calls for the removal of tli fessor, and we join in the call.

MR BADGER AGAINST CLAY. We think Mr Buchanan has acquitted himself of the imputation of having done anything dishonorable in the bargain and intrigue affair; but there is a certain great man in North Carolina who is now acting with the know-nothing party that has not cleared himself, and wo wonder why the know-nothing press have not called upon him to explain. We allude to the Hon. Geo. E. Badger. This honorable gentle man, in 1828, in an address to his constitu ents, argues to show that Mr Clay was guilty of bargain and intrigue in the con test between Gen. Jackson and John (iuincy Adams. Mr Badger said. "Let the friends of Mr Clay protest against the conclusion with whatever of earnestness they can press into the service, and tho romnwn sense of mankind will still find in, have been to many of his northern con JiL conduct the grounds of suspicion." j stituents, he defended the rights of the Where is the know-nothing wrath for Mr ! slaveholding States from the unjust en Badger on this score ? Where is the in dignation against Andrew Jackson Donel son on tho same ground ? Oh! consistency, thou art a jewel. , VOLUNTEER COMPANY. e are pleased to learn that a uniformed lniii t ny Company has been organized in Charlotte. This is right. As large a town as this might to support one volunteer company at least. In time of peace prepare for war ! The Company has adopted the nam:- of "HonxETT's Nest Riflemen." May they ever be ready to sting the enemies of their coun try. The following gentlemen have been select ed at Officers : J. Y. DRYCE, Captain. 15. H. DAVIDSON, 1st Lieutenant. T. D. GILLESPIE. 2d K.

IL M. PRITCIIARD, Surgeon. What is the Difference? We have often wondered what some men consider ed the difference between a man who is a member of the know-nothing party and supports its doctrines, and one who pre tends to oppose its principles yet at the same time roles for the nominees of said partv. We think there is none. They are all working in tho same cause and their votes have the same effect. Gentle men who claim to he "old line whigs," by voting for know-uothing nominees, d as much to sustain a principle they avowed ly condemn, as if they acknowledged them selves members of the party. The demo cratic party tho only national party in existence mid the only one that can do the country any good, or quiet the agitation that bids fair to sunder tho Union. "Old line whigs" cannot fail to sec this, and we are gratified to know that scores of them are acting in ac cordance with their honest convictions and giving in their adhesion to Buchanan and Breckinridge; yet many well-meaning ones have been unable to divest them selves of old party prejudices, and con sequently they take sides against us. To such we say. you have no right to claim the name of whig, for you are acting with a partv that proclaimed in its platform the death of the whig party, and at the same time pronounced it corrupt. If you believe the whig party :s yet alive and will ho resuscitated, for consistency's sake don't assist in trampling upon the "ruins" left by know-nothingism. - . . - - For all practical purposes the Maine election has thrown Mr Fillmore out of the contest, and the remains of the lato numerous, but incongruous and impotent know-nothing organization, arc drifting into the actual merits of the fight. Many of the deluded h aders of the Fillmore camp, especially in the South, will doubtless go over to Buchanan; but the bulk of the know-nothing northern ranh ana file, at tracted and stimulated by the general movement of the northern masses of in dependent thinking men, arc rallying, and will con fin in to rally, to Fremont.1 A". . Herald. We are not in the habit of quoting from the Herald, for we put little confi dence in its assertions; but tho above strikes us us being so near the truth, and coincides with what is taking place every day, that we desire to call atten tion to it for the purpose of showing that northern know-nothingism and black re publicanism are synonymous that the con test is actually between Fremont and Buchanan. Fillmore stands no chance of Carrying a solitary northern State. W"e submit it to the southern opponents of Mr Buchanan if it is not endangering our rights to continue to oppose him, cn siderins the circumstances. A Tinnn-DEtiREE Man. Gov.

Well may democrats be proud of their principles when they cause nmn archs to sit uneasy on their thrones. FRANKLIN PIERCE. The fact has been stated that the citizens of Concord, New Hamphsire, President Pierce's home, had refused to give that gentleman a public reception on bis visit to that place on the 2d inst. Some of the southern political opponents of the Presi dent speak of it in rather a jubilant spirit. But it would be well for them to reflect on the cause of this refusal of a northern com munity to extend a cordial reception (ir respective of party) to a northern man. Is the fact not patent that Gen. Pierce has incurred the everlasting hatred of northern fanatics for his uniform consistent course in dealing out even-handed justice to the South. He has proven himself a national man willing that all sections should have its rights and however displeasing it may croachments of the northern ones. For performing this duty we have the cause of the enmity of his fellow-townsmen. in view of such facts, it ill becomes southern men to join in the ridicule of their bene- " iactor. v, oniinon jUsiioo uemaiius xuai ineir abuse should be turned into praise; but as such a course might make a democratic I intend to "see the sights" if possible. administration a little more popular, wo j friend Uolden's poetical invitation do not hope for it. . .. , , ... . , .. 1 . , published on our first page to-aay.

Passing over at present many m may 'be founa the foUow;ng pagsag absurd positions assumed by Mr. G-, we from Mr clay-s defence of President Madi extract the following sentence : sfm,, goizurc q Wogt Florida; U entlemen, 1 nave recently canvassed my own beloved State, and notwithstanding the result of the election, I am proud of tin sacuoces . na e maue ; anu 1 an say, ami J2 T 1 1 i r . do sav sincerely and with an honest heart, iincerely ami with an honest heart, that it is my deliberate opinion, after a full opportunity of judging, that an immense majority of the people prefer for President, .Millard" Fillmore of Now York." The above is the coolest thing we have soon in some time. If "an immense majori ty " of the people prefer Mr. Fillmore how is it that Mr. G., Mr. F's representative in this State last Juno and July, did not get more votes. If the people preferred Mr. Fillmore is it not reasonable to suppose that they would have endorsed a man who favors his election, instead of one who opposes it? r n-1 1 , . Mr. Gilmer may be 111 earnest, but one thing is certain, he is egrcgiously mistaken. DONELSON A WITNESS. A groat deal of noise is made by tho op position papers because Henry Clay was once charged with bargaining and intrigu ing for office. Mr Buchanan is accused of giving currency to tho charge, and accord ingly denounced in no very inild terms.

Ah! gentlemen, he is on the ticket with Fillmore, and it will not work so well to t.U "old line whigs" how be once tried to injure the favorite leader of the whig party. Disgust for the "mixed to 1 - ' O """" ticket" might bo engendered and votes lost to the party that is endeavoring to got possession of the spoils m m Truth. Senators Pearce and Pratt, of Maryland, in their letters giving reasons why they support the election of Mr Buch anan, say that there is no chance for the success of Fillmore, and therefore it be hooves every national man to give his in fluence to the democratic ticket. The frantnAcfi i f tho honrovihlo rrnntli rriioi i . - , , t, ., worthy ot commendation, and cannot fail to impress all unprejudiced mini's with the importance of tho present contest. Certain ly there is no prospect of the election of Fillmore and Donelson, and every vote cast br them only tends to weaken the partv that is now contending for the Union and oipial rights. Friends, remember this, and govern yourselves accordingly. 4 . VW At the North, the work id' fusion continues.
