Democrats be True to your Principles.
The Canvass for Cumberland and Harnett coun
ties has now finally opened, and the candidates for
the Legislature and Sheriffalty are stumping it
from place to place. The ball was set in motion
at Kingsbury on Monday last. The nominees of
the democratic convention declared themselves, viz:
Maj. Jno. T. Gihnore, for the Senate. ' Messrs W.
McL. McKay, J&s. S. Harrington, and C. C. Bar
bee for the Commons, and Frank X. Roberts for
Sheriff; to these of course every democrat who
values the triumph of his political principles more
than his favorites among men, will give his cor
dial support. We very much regret to learn that
Co!. Alexander Murchison has been induced to an
nounce himself as a Candidate for the Commons.
The Col. is a clever, enterprising gentleman for
whom we have the highest regard and we wish him
all success in life imaginable, except when he pla
ces himself in opposition to the regular nominees
of a democratic Convention, then we hope he will
bo beaten with many sti-ipes by the party. If
democrats have principles which they value highly
and which they expect to carry out for the good of
our common country, then we ask how can this
be done except through representatives selected for
that purpose and how can the selection be fairly
made unless the Conventional mode is adopted?
How can the party succeed without organization,
and how can this be brought about without Con
vention? We do not know of any other channel
through which democratic principles can be made
to triumph over all opposition. If these conven
tions are the only mediums through which a party
of principles can hope to succeed, and if the safet'
of the country depends upon carrying out the
measures of the democratic party, then surely no
sound democrat will give countenance or support
to any one, no matter whether he professes to be
a democrat or not, who will suffer his name to be
run in opposition to the regular nominees of a
democratic convention. If would be absurd for us
to protend that we am good and true democrats
and that we prefer the triumph of democratic meas
ures to that of men (no matter how clever) while
we at the same time are allowing our names to be
run in opposition to the regular nominees of the
party, or are casting our votes for such opponents.
As well might one be considered a Christian who
was battling against the Christian Church and
doing all in his power to break down its organiza
tion. We know it is said by many tnat tins is a
free country, and every man has a right to declare
himself a candidate for any office within the gift of
the people. A man may have the civil right to do
a thing which would be morally wrong, when it
comes in conflict with his duty in the case. Thus
for examDle a man may consider that in the tri-
umph of certain principles of his political party
th welfare of his fellow beings is advanced. If
he tries to break down the organization of the par
ty through which these principles are to be carried
out either by announcing himselt a Candidate in
opposition to its nominees or by supporting such
opposition, then we think that he has done morally
wrong although he had the civil right to do so.
Now we will not pretend to say that Col. Murchi
son has any such intention, but that certain vexed
questions of a local character, connected with the
county of Harnett (in which he resides) have been
agitated by two sets and caused some excitement
to prevail among a number of the good people of
that County, and when they found that the Cum
berland and Harnett Convention did not nominate
men from their section who favored their peculiar
views they were disquieted on that account, and
set to work to bring out opposition to the nominees,
and as Col Murchison has been strongly solicited
by them to run, and as he received encouragement
from others, who also were disappointed in Cum
berland, he come to the conclusion that it is the
people who call him out and that he is under obli
gations to serve them, and therefore he declared
himself at Kingsbury, on Monday last, as a Can
didate for the Commons. Now, it was an ascer
tained fact before the Cumberland and Harnett
Convention met that Col. Merchison would not al
low his name to be run before the Convention be
cause he could not serve as a legislator, that he
would not be a Candidate either for the Senate or
Commons. The Col. admits that he told his friends
all this, and now after the nominations are made
we find him stumping it before the people against
all or a portion of the nominees. Does not such a
course appear singular to every reflecting man?
We have no right to dictate to any man what course
he shall pursue politically or otherwise, but we
cannot help expressing our surprise when men act
so inconsistent. With the local matters of Harnett
we have nothing to do, nor do we think it our pre
rogative to express an opinion which side of our
Harnett friends are in the right. As far as we
would venture to say a word relative to their affairs
it is to express the hope that justice will be done to
all sections of that county. The local differences
should always be amicably settled among the par
ties who feel themselves agrieved before they go
into a nominating convention. It should have been
done with our Harnett friends; and we supposed
one side had as fair a chance to attend the primary
meetings in that county as the other, and could as
well aid in sending delegates to the democratic
Convention, held in this place last May. If they
let theppportunity pass by and thereby give their
antagonists the advantage over them they should
not allow their local differences to jeopardise the
interests of the democratic party in the two Coun
ties at this late day,
We have thought proper thus plainly to express
our opinion respecting those who see proper to
oppose nominations and conventions when it does
not haDoen to suit their peculiar whims. We know
a a
it is thought by some (interested persons) rather
arrogant for the advocates ot Conventions, to de
nounce any protessinff democrat who may see
proper to run on their own hooks in opposition to
Convention Candidates; but we also know that it is
by far more arrogant and ridiculous for a hand
ful of men to attempt to lead the party by the
nose and expect to ride rough-shod over conven
tions, nominees and all organizations in our ranks.
The only consolation such men have, if victorious
at all, is that their victory has been achieved by
the aid of the political enemies of the party to
which they profess they belong. If Conventions
are to be set aside just because a few men can
not sway them and bring about such nominations
as will suit their own peculiar interests without re
gard to the welfare of all sections interested, why
the sooner we are made to understand this, the
better, but a large majority of the party will doubt
less demur to this course, and if we mistake not,
they will show their faith by their works in the
August election for Governor and Members of the
Assembly as well as Sheriff. They will be found
tanding up to the democratic nominees.
We did not mention Mr Jno C Williams in con
nection with Col Murchison as being also a candi
date in opposition to the nominee. Our reason for
not doing so is that we are informed that Mr W.
remarked he was too good a democrat to declare
himself a candidate in opposition to the ticket made
by the convention. He remarked at the aame time
if the people saw proper to elect him he would
serve but that he was not a candidate. So Col
Mrchison appears to be the only one out as yet
against the nominees. Will the democratic party
elect him? We think not.
Col. Murchison has handed us his card for
publication which our readers will find below:
FELLOW-CITIZENS OF CUMBER
LAND AND HARNETT.
I have been solicited by a very large num
ber of the Democratic Party of your coun
ties to become a candidate for a seat in the
House of Commons of our next Legislature.
The flattering manner and the very respecti
ble source from which these solicitations
come, combined with the peculiar condition
of our portion of the State at this time are
matters of much importance. The first,
though a source of sincere gratification to
myself, might be very properly passed over
with silent gratitude. Not so with the sec
ond; I could not as a duty I owe you and
in gratidude for passed favors, turn a deaf
ear to a call of my fellow-citizens at a time
like this. I have therefore after mature re
flection determined to become a candidate.
If elected one of your Representatives, I
promise to exert my utmost ability (feeble
as it may be) in securing by an act ot the
Legislature, State aid for the Fayetteville 4'
Western Rail Rfad, as 1 believe to effect
this object is the prime motive for which I
have been solicited to become a candidate.
My political sentiments are well known to
the people and I disclaim any intention or
desire to produce discord m the Demo
cratic ranks but I cannot in justice to my
own feelings disregard the call of those from
whom in times passed I have received so'
many favors. I will endeavor during the
campaign to meet you in the different dis
tricts of your respective counties.
V ery Respectfully
Your o'bt Servant
ALEX. MURCHISON,
Harnett Co., July 12th 1858.
The Canvass for Governor.
As our readers would like to be informed respect
ing the whereabouts of the Candidates for Gov
ernor, and their respective positions on internal
improvements at this time, we have thought proper
to publish the following editorial from the Raleigh
Standatd, together with the letter of its correspond
ent in Ashe county. It appears Mr McRae is still
in favor of transferring the Raleigh and Gaston
Railroad Stocks for the purpose of aiding the Fay
etteville and Western Railroad. He is also in fa
vor of completing the Western Extension by State
aid. So it seems that friend Duncan finds it ne
cessary to shitt his ground as he goes, Hut not
withstanding he loudly proclaimed in the East that
he would not (if elected) recommend the appropria
tion of another dollar of the State's money to works
of internal improvement. For our part we want
the ready cash to aid our Coal fields road, and not
the stocks of other roads. Give us the same foot
ing as has been granted to other North Carolina
schemes. Judge Ellis is in favor of this plan
Mr McRae is opposed to it, threfore the people of
this section are in duty bound to go for Judge E.
unanimously as he is their best friend. In fact,
all internal improvement men should vote for him
if they are iu favor of granting State aid to carry
on the various schemes in which they are interest
ed: "Messrs. Ellis and McRae in Ashe.
We give below a brief sketch of the discus
sion in Jefferson, Ashe, between Messrs. Ellis
and itfcRae.
We learn that Judge Ellis made an excellent
impression in Ashe, and that he will poll a full
vote in that part of the State.
Our Jefferson correspondent confirms the
statement heretofore made and maintained,
that Mr McRae has changed his ground on the
Western Extension. He says, "Mr McRae
now advocates a completion of the Road by
State aid thinks the charter should be freed
from the section feature, and the whole Road
placed under contact at the same time."
Now Mr McRae has a right to change posi
tion on public questions as often as he pleases;
but we insist that he owes it to himself and to
the people when he does change, to admit the
fact. He declared, for instance, in his Dancy let
ter,that no sane man wouldjthink of voting anoth
er dollar to the Western Extension; and in his
speech in Clinton he said, "for himself he would
not recommend1 the increase of the State debt
to the extent of one dollar for any work of in.
ternal improvement now in progress ia North
Carolina." Every where in the East he left
the impression by his speeches that he was op
posed to further State aid to any public work.
Is net that so? We appeal to those who heard
him in the East to his own friends, to say if
it is not so. If not so, why his talk about th
"gap" in the mountains, which judge Ellis pro
posed in a certain contingency to fill up, inak
ing the pockets of the people "gape wide open?"
If not so, wherefore his arguments to prove that
the Western Extension would cost ten millions
If not so, wherefore his declaration that the tax
es already imposed on the people were "intoler
able," and his arguments to show that the State
was declining and would decline, if further
taxes should be levied? Then he was against
another dollar for auy public work; now- he is
for appropriating $28,000 per annum to the
Fayetteville Coalfields Road; and he is also,
by inevitable inference, to say the least, in favor
of additional State aid to the Wsstern Exten
sion. Then he ridiculed the idea of filling up
the "gap" of making the Swananoa tunnel;
now he is for the "gap" now he would make
the tunnel, or aid in making it, for it would be
absurd to think of going to work alonar the
whole line of the Road, as he proposes to do,
without working on the tunnel : and we all know
that private subscriptions cannot be obtained
to do that work.
And now, what will the people think of such
a candidate? Do they see that he has one
tone for the East and anothor for the West ?
that he drjiws the purse-strings iu one section,
and loosens them in another? that he is what
he considers a good Eastern man in the East,
and a good Western man in the West? Elect
dm Governor, and what section of the State
could depend upon him? But we are detaining
our readers from the sketch of our Jefferson
correspondent, which is as follows:
Jefferson, N. C. July 5, 1858.
Messers. Holden & Wilson : Messers.
McRae and Ellis addressed the people of Ashe
to-day.
Mr. McRae opened the discussion with his
usual ability, and entertained the audience with
a rare specimen or eloquence and ingenuity.
We are sorry to see Ins fine talents misapplied
to the advocacy of a cause so hopeless, and so
full of error. While he still professes to be a
Democrat, all must see, and none more clearly
than himself, that his connexion with the party
is severed ; ana ne now stands nopelessly iden
tified with the opposition. The same topics
heretofore debated by the candidates formed
the subject of his speech.
Judge Ellis followed Mr. McRae in a calm,
dignified and able expositson of his views, and
won upon the understandings and hearts of
the large audience. He proved, by high
authority, that distrubition was "impolitic and
unlawful" That it stained the escutcheons of
its former advocates, and was used by them
only as a ' bid for popularity. " His speech
was higblv creditable, and more than met the
expectations of his friends.
Their respective positions on the subject of
internal improvements formed a material
portion of the discussion. Judge Ellis makes
two points upon his competitor, which it would
seem impossible for him to get out of: both of
which involve a change of views on the part of
Mr. McKae since the opening ot the canvass.
In announcing himself a candidate, and in
the discussions at Charlotte and other places,
Mr. McRae avowed himself opoosed to.farther
appropriations for works of internal improve
ments. 1 he newspapers in his support urged
his election upon that ground, and charged
Judge Ellis with favoring an increase of the
State debt. Our present roads, they argued,
were to be completed, and new ones bnilt, if at
all, by a distribution of the public lands, not
by legislative aid.
Now, Mr. McRae favors a transfer of the
stock in the Raleigh and Gaston Road to aid
the building a Road to the Coalfields, which
Judge Ellis shows is a direct annual appropri
ation from the sinking fund.
This is one of the points the Judge makes
upon his competitor: the other is In regard to
the WesternExtention. Instead of maintaining
his former position as declared by himself and
his supporters upon that subject, Mr. McRae
dow advocates a completion of the road by State
aid; thinks the charter should be freed from
the section feature, and the whole road placed
under contract at the same time. It is due to
Mr. McRae to state, that he insists he has been
guility of no departue upon these questions,
and that he occupies now, identically, the same
ground as when he opened the canvass.
The discussion, passed off pleasantly, and
pleasant relations seem to prevail with the
candidates.

HINTS.
The Democratic Party in Cumberland and Har
nett, represented by a respectable delegation of
gentleman from both counties made in Convention
a choice of Candidates for the coming elections in
August. This will signify nothing if they are set
aside, and will make a very embarrassing precedent
for the future action of the Party.
Forbearance or magnanimity were never very
prominent virtues of the opposition even when
plainly principles of policy and duty, and any op
portunity however slight, is inviting enough to di
rect a blow at the organization and success of the
Democracy. This opportunity will be afforded by
opposing against each other the strength of differ
ent sections, in the claims of new Candidates de
claring themselves independent. We think the
Ticket complete as published at the head of this
paper, and we hope will be voted without a single
erasure. ;
How often a great deal of spite is palmed off for
'strong sense"; for instance, the funeral honors
rendered to the ashes and at the tomb of James
Monroe, was a bacchanalian revelrv; a rum and
whiskey festival of Irish descent, in the charitable
Christian eye "of one of our "neutral" cotempora
ties; wonder what pageant would be grand enough
for his Demigod (who every body knows that reads
Historv the verv stars mifht dance or burst, the
, 3
sun stand still again, while an enebriated world
shed tears of blood as a feeble tribute to his aston
ishing greatness, and no censorious paragraph
would say it was too much. But, Mr Monroe was
a democrat ! '
A growling, ill-natured, ill-favoured old bachelor
who'has evidently learnt to appreciate the "Fox
and grapes" anecdote, says that getting married
these days is a wholesale business, as the stock
must comprise a laboratory of chalk, paint, and
perfumery, a ton of whalebone, ditto steel, eight
coffee bags, a cart load of novels, a poodle dog, a
milliner shop and two dry goods stores, with a sys
tem of weak nerves requiring 9 doctors and 6 ser
vants to keep up the establishment. What a big
story! We don't believe it.
The extravagance of the present administration,
says a fierce but economical exchange (know-nothing)
will be a "reproach upon Mr Buchanan that
will obscure his better fame in the history of Ameri
can politics." Good gracious!
"High diddle diddle,
The Cat's in the fiddle;
The Cow jumped over the Moon," &c
Well, Mr Skinflint, Uncle Sam is growing and
wants more cloth and finer goods. Compare the
accounts of Mr Monroe and Mr Buchanan; the first
the model economist, and the latter the reckless
spendthrift:
Mr Monroe, Mr Buchanan,

No doubt the business of the Government could
be carried on by the opposition without spending a
cent.
All parties are to be wrecked again to make the
People's Party" none of the materials of Know-
nothingism will be used; Catholics are affectionate
ly invited to join, and Foreigners will be natural
ized immediately upon their arrival in this country.
We can't say about the paupers, they were always
well cared for by the k. n's, in this county, waited
on at the Poor house at day -light election day, and
kindly taken in carriages to the Polls, proving that
humanity and kindness were part of their creed.
Wonder what the "neutral" papers will do? What
will converts call themselves? American-whig-peopleo
would do. . What a political millenieumit
will be when the People's Party are in power.
First Blood of the Revolution.
The last attempt we have seen, says the Cin
cinnati Gazette, to upset our ideas of history,
and Bishop Whately, to create historical doubts
upon the existence of some well-known person
or event, is that of a Mr Wheeler, in a history
of rorth Carolina, to prove that the first blood
pilled in the United States in resistance to
British exaction, was at Alamance, in North
Carolina!
The Charleston Mercury quotes Mr Wheeler's
account of a battle fought in 1771, at Ala
mance, between a body of "Regulators," and a
body of militia, under Governor Tyron. No
doubt such an action was fought, as there were
a dozen others on "the frontiers, between 1764
and 1775, but they were exactly like those in
Kansas, Texas and Oregon only proofs of a
disturbed and disaffected frontier. On this
fact however, the Mercury makes this singular
comment:
"Mr Wheeler says: 'Thus ended the battle
of Alamance. Thus, and here was the first
blood spilled in these United States, in resis
tance to exactions of English rulers and oppres
sions by the English government. 'The great
Wolf of Sonth Carolina, showed his bloodthirs
ty temper by acts of revenge, cruelty, and bar
barity. He hung Captain Tew the next day.
without trial on a tree.' "
"It was in this case, as Byron truly says in
one of his poems:
" 'For Freedom's battle once begun ;
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though sometimes lost is never won.'"
"Thus we see that it was at the battle of
Alamance, and not at Bunker Hill, that the
first American blood was shed in the cause of
liberty. 'Honor to whom Is due.'"
Nobody but the editor of the Mercury ever
imagined that the first blood of the Revolution
was spilled at Bunker Hill, and nobody will
hereafter imagine it was spilled at Alamance.
In truth this paragraph displays either great
iguorance or great forgetfulness of the history
of the American Revolution. If the object be
to state where the "first blood was spilled in
the United States, in resistance" to English
rulers, we must go beyond the Battle of Ala
mance. Nothing is better known in American
historv that the 'Boston iliassacre.' In conse-
quence ui me nun nupuuauuu agreement in
i u : : . .
New England (17b) collisions between the
... , . J 1 : . : r t- .
Liritisn troops !u lue-iuiens oi ooston were
frequent. On the 5th of March 1770, the
nopulace of Boston attempted to disarm the
British guard, crying ".xill the soldiers!" '
The guard, fired, killing and wounding eight
persons.
This was a year before the battle of Ala
mance, and was the main event in hastening
the Revolution. It was then that Josiah Quincy
and Adamses appeared in the forum as the
orators of the people. British taxation com
menced in 1764T and from that time there was
no cessation of the civil and military aggressions
and collisions which took place, till the first
battle of the Revolution, which was at Lexing
ton, not Banker Hill, on the 19th of April
1775. The Revolutionary War is properly
dated from the battle of Lexington; because
that was the first formal and decisive meeting
between troops on both sides. If we count by
the first blood spilled, the collision in Boston
inilfarch, 1770, long preceded the affray at
Alamance. ;
The Legislature of Massachusetts moved for
a general union, in resisting the British measure
of oppression, in June, 1764. Whether we
seek for the first civil resistance, for the first
blood spilled, or for the first battle, we shall
find them in Massachusetts. The reason for it
is quite obvious. Boston was then the great
port of North America. It was. there that
British oppression first arrived to enforce obedi-
a . . i j- f i 1 a
ence. At tins time oi a ay mere can oe uo
doubt about the facts, and there should be
no jealousies, and no divisions in rendering honor
to the acts and celebrating the memory of the
heroes, patriots, and statesmen who founded
this great republic. As we who live in the
centre and heat of the nation, rejoice in its
prosperity, and render praise to its founders
we equally honor the mighty dead who lie
on Bunker Hill, or in Saratoga's sand, or by
Eu taw's Spring. We live under the vine and
fig tree which they planted; and we would fain
water and nourish their roots. Let history
be just, and no jealous band wrest a single lau
rel from those who through the trials of the
revolution' "passed from gloom to glory.
We don't like to have our Historianj Wheeler,
sneered at and we hope his successor, the Rev.
Doctor will correct the stupidity and insolence of
this Cincinnati man who calls our "Alamance bat
tle", a little fight between rowdies and Government
officials, and the martyrs of that bloody conflict,
disaffected rioters What does he know about it?
Wonder if our 4th of July Orators and Historians
dont know better. But we will wait for the 3d
Volume of Hawks Histoiy, to put the matter to
rest forever. We claim the first declaration of
Independence, too, at Mecklenburg - perhaps "Cin-
cinnatti" don't believe that. He is evidently cha
grined because there was no blood spilt in Ohio ex
cept scalping, murdering, indians. What's the
testimony of Black Republicanism worth any way?
Utah Intelligence. -
St. Louis, July 12. A Utah news letter,
from an officer in the Armv, writing from John
son's Camp, Bear River, gays that the Army
would resume the march on the 17th. John
son had received an express from the Commis
sioners informing him that the army would be
peaceably received. Johnson, however, did'nt
feel increased confidence. The trmy will be
kept in readiness to repel any treachery. John
son has issued a proclamation to the people
that the array is as ready now to afford assis
tance as it was to oppose when the rebellion
commenced. The troops are in fine condition.

Naval Schools.
The proposition to establish schools for sea
manship at the principal seaports in the United
States has repeatedly received more or less at-1
tentson, and something practical has been ac-;
complished at Boston and Baltimore; but the
results thus far are quite insignificant, when
compared with the prospective wants of the
naval and mercantile marine. In England ef
forts in this direction seem to have been attend
ed with better success. By the following ex
tract from the London News of the 21st ult,
it appears that the Liverpool school of seamen
on the Mersey is doing wt l!, and that another
of the same character is to be esteblisbed ou
the Thames, near London :
To provide with certainty for a large class
of lads without the costliness of emigration, it
is now proposed to establish is the Thames
ship reformatory, where strong healthly boys
may receive a training or preparation for a
sea-faring life, and be rendered valuable as
apprentices for her Majesty's navy, the merch
ant service, or for other similar employments
A large number of the young offenders found
in our prisons have the restlessness which unfits
them for ordinary trades, and at the same time
the dash and daring so much valued on shin
board The proposed experiment is not .

Juvenile Reformatory Association, has turned
out good seamen, and no difficulty has hitherto
been found in providing situations as soon as a
boy could be recommended as fit to go to sea
The strict order and discipline which prover
bially distinguish the administration of a ship
peculiarly fit it to be a school for the unruly
uuve ueueu society ana the law.
The committee of theReformatory andRefuge
Union, who have long had the establishment
of such a reformatory near London in contem
plation, now see their way to the execution of
their project. They have obtained their ship,
with a promise of further aid from the goven
ment, and now only require funds, for which the
public will not suffer them long to want.
A school-ship in the Thames, supposing it to
take on board as many as the Akbar now holds,
would save in emigration and analogue expenses
about 14,000, being nearly equal to the sum
required for its equipment.
