" BUlIiplNG'THiG PYRAMID The result of the elections which have taken place in several of the States, proVes the irresistible power of mind when directed to the Bttiiding up cherishefl principles which had been trodden doum in an evil hour under a misguidance of reason and judgment. The ballot box has now beeji emphati cally shown to be a better regulator of government and political afiairs than the cartridge box! Within one brief year how wonderful has been the revolution in public sentiment, and yet with w’hat little noise and parade has the astounding re sult been accomplished ! The delusions of Federal Bank Whiggery are now happily dispelled, and the people of a mighty nation have once more emerged from the gloom of a moral and political midtjight, to the marvellous light of an unclouded mental perception. The evidence that the people have returned to their “sober second thoughts,” is strikingly dis played in the triumhpant majorities every where given in favor of liberal and sound Democratic principles. Since the Presidential canvass, the following States have held elections,- and spoken in thunder tones their political predilections;— In Alabama, Tennessee, Maine, Vermont, Indiana, Maryland, Georgia, IVnnsylavania, 6,noo 9,000 12,000 13.000 15.000 10.000 12,000 22,000 II H"*-' MECKLENBURG JEFFEitSONIAN: TUESDAY MORNIKG, iN'OVEMBER 2, 1841.

Our readers will recollect we some time since no ticed the proceedings of a Democratic meeting in Person C .unty, at whicii cnergetic measures of or ganization were adopted for the important political struggle which “comes otT” in our State next sum mer, A meeeting for a similar purpose has more recently been held by the Democracy of Franklin County, and as part of their proceedings, they pro pose tlie assembling of a State Convention of our party at Kaleigh in January next, to Moniinate a can didate for Governor, and also express their prefer ence for Louis D. Henry, Esq., of Fayetteville. ^Ve are rejoiced to find our party thus early awake to the importance of redeeming North Caro lina from the sway of Federalism, !for several reasons, the next election for Governor and mem bers of the Legislature v/ill be a deeply interesting one : and the great impoitance of the subjcct must be our apology for suggesting, for the consideration of oui friends, a course of policy somewhat different I'rom that proposed by the Democrats of Franklin. Is a Convention to nominate a candidate for Go- \trnoi necessary ? If we siiould decide upon call ing one, is it at all likely that a full representation could bo obtained from ail parts of the State? In answering these qtiestions in the xi:oativi:, we feel suie that we speak the voice t*f nitictccn iiccn- tieths of the Western Democracy. A Convention, to eventuate in any good to our cause, must speak the voice of our party in all sections of the State; and experience has shown that the distant Counties —especially tliose in the extreme "West, and which it is all-important to have fully represented—cannot oe stilled up to send Delegates—the distance, and the inclement season of the year at which it is pro posal to hold the Convention, being two strong pre ventive causes. How was it previous to tiie last } eai s contest, imder the extraordmarv’" excitement which tlun pervaded the country? In the Con tention that nominated .ludge Saundlrs, but a moiety in numbers of the heavy voting counties in the West were representedand, indeed, ex cepting a few Counties in the immediate vicinity of Raleigh, the representation was but partial, and in many cases, of Delegates casually in the City. Can we hope for a belter turn out in .lanuary next? e think not. • But there is a portion—and no inconsiderable one, either of otn* party that entertains strong ob jections to this mode of nominating candidates : and without discussing this point, we think their views should influence, to some extent at -least, the action of our party. In regaid to the selection of a candidate for Go vernor, there can be no necessity for the action of a Convention. The meeting in Franklin, wc are sa tisfied, speaks the sentiments of our friendsinali paits of the State, in their nomination of Mr. Ilcnr?/. So far as a great portion of the West is concerned, we speak advisedly, when we say that .Mr. Henry’s no mination is demanded by the unanimous voice of the Democracy, Let us, then, dispense witli a Conventionict the Denaocratic I’ress thronghont the State, and the people of the other Counties in tlieir primary as semblies, respond to the nomination of ctr friends in Fran!clin;-let a full and eon.plete organization hamed and carried out by the People Ihemseh-es, be had in every County, and the political regene ration of our State will be as certain as that the day of election comes round. Entertaining these views, and feeling an abiding and all-absorbing solicitude for the triumph of our party, and its glorious principles, in North Caroli na, we have felt it to bo our duty to speak them Aeely, a?id in time;—and wc respectfully request our Democratic cotemporaries in this State to give us their response, yea or nay, at as early a day as possible. For, although the Democracy of the West prefer dispensing with a Convention, and leaving the nomination of a candidate for Governor, and the adoption of other measures of organization, to the people in their primary assemblies, yet thej’ will doubtless cheerfully acquiesce in whatever mea sures may be found to accord with the sentiments of a majority of our party in the whole State. the LATE DEMOCRAfic VtCT6tlT^ CLEARING AWAY OF THE SMOKE. Full returns from Pennsylvania—God bless th good old Key-stone!—shows Porter’s majori ty foar Governor to be upwards of TWENTY TWO THOUSAND! The Democratic rnajori ty in the Legislature on joint ballot will be twenty, three—one in the Senate and twenty-two in the House. This election caught the pipe-layers^^ without funds in Pennsylvania. They carried the State for Harrison by 348 majority. The buck-eye State, Ohio, has also sent the pipe-layers on a trip up salt river. The Democra tic majority in the Legislature (no election for Go vernor this year) on joint ballot is four—two i^ each House. In New Jersey, as stated last week, there will be a Federal majority of twelve in the Legislature though it is now’ ascertained that the Democrats have in the popular vote of the State a majority of over two thousand. The New Haven Register speaking of this election, says: “ The Palladium, in its loneIine.ss of heart at the re.snit of the recent elections, faintly ejaculate?. “All hail. New Jersey!” We grant that Nev*' Jcn sey is a proper place for Whigery lo hail from, it is the only State in the Union where legislatire fraud is resorted to, that Whigery may keep in pow er; where pipe-laying is a cardinal Whig princifAc, and is shielded by the “ broad seal” of the Stale, With a Democratic majority of more than 2,000 in the State, tiiere is a Federal Legislature, for ihej- have so gerrymandered the counties, that it is liard- ly possible for the Democrats ever to carry tlnf body.” ' ^ In Georgia, McDonald’s majority is f,,u.- thousand! and thn Democratic majority in the Le gislature on joint ballot fifty-three—twenty-two iji the Senate, and thirty one in the House.

Why did not the Obsrrvcr oive us the name of the ‘^sterling Whig paper of" Now ^ ork, on th-, autnority of which it con'radicts our statement that the World is a Whig paper? W e had good authority for saying what we did in regard to the politics of tiie Wor/d; and it will take something more than the unsupnortcd assertion of the Fayetteville Observer to us Ave \vere in error.

These are changes, cer tainly. And yet the Observer re-cclioes the asser tions of the National Intelligencer, that the late elections indicate no change in public sentiment since 1840! AVliy do the Observer and its Clay allies conjure their party to stick to Mr. Tyler—lo regard him as a true Whig, &c., while they de nounce as no Whigs the Editors of the papers abo\e-named, the acknowledged organs and defend ers of the President ? Strange contradiction, to claim the President as a good and true Whig, and denounce at the same time his confidential organs and advocates as W7^gs! There’s hypocrisy in this, we fear. Is it because Mr. Tyler has the dispensing of the “loaves and fishes,”—eh! Mr. Observer? Or, is it because you cannot tolerate any press in your ranks that dares to speak the truth of the humbugs of Whiggery, or the corrup tions and abominable swindiings of the Banking System ? “ We pause for a reply f”
