A Review of the Imposition..
In view of the recent disclosures which have
been made through the Black Republican prints
ana tlwlt coufeder-4-"" SoJ. thro in nrgent
and responsible dufy resting upon every Democrat
North nnd South. They have an enemy to combat
who will not stop at misrepresentation if error will
convey them into.powcr : an enemy who is willing
to barter honor, liberty, dignity, and the rights of
the South, if by any possibility they may .attain
their common end the defeat of the national Dem
ocratic party. Our opponents are at work, and
each Jay brings to light some new feature of the
secret treason they are s-uiltv of us Southerners.
They tell you they are the Whig party, but their Cross Creek on Monday, which, owing to the fact
acts are a iie upon the assertion. They talk ofjthat oruors had l,een previously issued for parade
reform in SMVermental expenditures, while tho W i on Tuesday, could not be complied with. On mo-
fleioncy in the Tren-urv is the work of their own
hands. They speak of the prosperity of the na
tion u..Jcr Whig s.hr.i; itr:-.t:.i s and that the De
mocracy are a curse and a ruin upon the nation.
According to their theory the United States have
been retrograding for forty-eight years, and ad
vancing in all goodness and prosperity for sixteen!
for they Lave had but sixteen y,-ars of the Presi
dency to oar forty-eight.

wonaers in its uay and generation. No meagre
flab should designate the last remains of this
fungus, when its hist dying groan shall have been
uttered in 'GO. No mean inscription should bo
placed over its resting place, for surely, in the
history of any nation no political association or
party has reared up such a magnificent structure,
and all in sixteen years .' But what is the cry that
has been raised against the Democracy by this
Imposition incongruity? They daro not in the
Si ath charge us with Abolitionism; yet we can
point them to thousands in their ranks, and prove
that half their leaders are in favor of abolishing
slavery. In the North, they dare not charge us
"hk mravagmice, oecause we can show tlit-m a

South they charge ift with extravagance. Let us
look how the last charge suits them ; as to the for
mer one we do not consider it worth a reply. This
ry of extravagance is not new. The same cry
was raised by the Imposition in 1843. We should
like to examiuo the acts of the administrations an
terior to this, and show the world what Tyler did ;
but we pass on to the holy administratfon of Fil
rr.oTo, and here we find that, though this same cry
of exorbitant expenditures was raised, the Imposi
tion can, at my time, surpass the Democracy in
squamiLring the jicoph's money.
During the Administration of Polk we were in
volved in war with Mexico, and in the four j-ears
of his term we find the expenditures only 1G5,
I'::. 020.53 being an annual average expenditure
' ? 1 1 ,'.i4r.'2jo.r.). Now, take that holy adminis
trau -ii of Mr. Fihnore in a time of peace and plenty,
i.ii'! Lat "o we find? The expenditures of Mr.
Fiiiir.ore, for the four years of Lis term are $105,
Uy.650.43 amounting to an annual average ex
p. -n.liture of ? 1 1 . 42iJ I.M2.ti2. This shows that the
A big ailmini.-tration of Filmoro cost the people
seventy-five, thousand six hundred and Jifly-sixdol-la
rs and jour rrnts iii a time of peace more than
the Democratic Administration of Polk cost in a
time of war! Now, kt us look at what the Impo
sition Congress under Mr. Pierce did. Take the
item of the .Sub-marine Telegraph cable, which
like all other mad schemes can trace its lineage to
the Imposition, we find that $70,000 per annum
have been expended on this, until the interest upon
the investment should reach six percent., and then
$50,000 for twenty-five years ! This is one of the
Imposition sinking funds. How was this carried ?
Look at the record ? Only six Democrats voted
for it I Resides this-, two of the best vessels our
navy could boa.-t of were racked and torn to pieces
in tiiis. ruinous -utevtrizc-t - I
During this same Congress a proposition to pay
Sil5G,7G.j.85 for books for members of Congress
was supported by tbe Imposition, and we find that
in ail, but eleven Democrats voted for it ! Sixteen
thousand and twenty-two dollars was paid to Arch-
r, Fouke, Tourney, lieeder Miiiiken and Helmet,
Imposition contestants for seats in this Imposition
'ongress, and by the votes of the Imposition.
These are a part of the wholesale "plunder of this
party, which now charges the Democracy v.ith
their own vile practice of dishonesty. Is their cry
against us not a grave commentary upon their
own works! Let Democrats remember that at any
time when the Whigs came info power, they nev
er reduced the expenditures of the Government.
Were the expenditures high when they gained the i
ascendancy, they were sure to add to them. Thev
never were guilty of reform when Whigs and
what are we to expect of the present Imposition
w,er they U come into power, when it is made up
e ali the political renegades of the whole Union?
If the Whijf party was guilty of such enormous
expenditures, what ronld not this ungainly monster
called " Iaipobitiofl" be gailty of in the same way ?
We have the recoj-& of this grand larceny Impo
sition party, which we wjlj e-sbjbit in due time, and

have a battle to fight a warfare for the Union and

rights of the South. Remember that your oppo

all the other " ists" and "isms" to be found on

which unites them is a love of power and office,
and to attain this they wou'd embrace Abolitionism
and support the enemies of their country. Let
them remember that, what wo ae as a nation, is
owing alone to Democracy ; that we have founded
her institutions, acquired her territory, and brought
her to bo a pride among the nations of the earth.
Another Blow at Black Republicanism.
The Germans of New York have had a mass meet
ing lately, to devise means for the formation of a
party among them to oppose Know-Nothingism.
One of the same nature was held in Ohio. They
selected Cleaveland, Ohio, as the place and 28th

Democratic Candidates. Daniel B.Coleman
has received the unanimous nomination of the
Democratic. Convention in the Asheville District.
Hon. L. O'BTBranch is the choice of Democracy
in the Raleigh District. No wiser or better sck-c-tirnu

bright this Fall in the Old North State. Keep the
ball in motion.
LaFayktteLioht Ixfaxtky. The LaFayette
Light Infantry were out on the 3d instant, Lieut.
Matthews commanding. It is said they made a
fine appearance, Cnpt. Cook communicated to tho
company that they had been honored by an invita
tion from the young ladies of the Fayetteville
Female High School to attend a pic-nic given at
tion, the thanks of the company wero tendered to
the young ladies for so distinguished an honor.
We cannot here forget to add that the LaFayette
Cornet Bund, though some of its members were
sick ou the 3rd, nevertheless gave the company most
excellent music the diminution in members de
tracting nothing ou that tday from their former
reputation.
The company made some arrangements for cele
brating the anniversary of the Mecklenburg Dec-
lnration of Independence being the. anniversary
Company also. Mr. Archibald T. Banks was
appointed to give an address, and from the known
j talent and ability of this young gentleman, we may
expect something superior. A cup is the prize se
lected by the company to be awarded to the best
average shot upon that occasion.
The committee of arrangements have- agreed
that the address be delivered in the evening, at
Farmer's Hall or some other place of convenience.
Mr. Walter L. Rose has been chosen to read the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The
target match is to come off in the morning, and at
the hour of 3 P. M. there will bo a dinner served.
Is there any Cause for it ?
The subject of a Convention in the Third Con
gressional District is one which is at present occu-
PJ 'De o minus or many UcmocraU.
Siuce tb
I formation of tho District the Dcmocrn.y have
. J
l held but three Conventions the first to nominate
Gen. McKay, another, Mr. Ashe, and the last to
nominate Mr. Winslow. These Conventions were
called from the necessity of the case, because there
was a vacancy the incumbents declining to run
any more, or there being no Democratic represen
tative in Congress 1 Now if this was the former
practice, (which we think no one will undertake to
deny,) what necessity is there, at this time, for this
hubbub about a Convention 1 Why should the
party cast such a censure upon Gov. Winslow ?
We do not consider that a Convention would have
any effect upon this question, as far as Mr. Wins
low is concerned. There can be no doubt but a ma-
jorty of tbe delegates would go for him ; but we look
on this matter as an attempt to injure one of the
best representatives this District has ever had in
Congress. We think there is no time to be lost.
What the party is to do, let it do quickly.

We say the practice of the Opposition is worse than
that of the Democracy, because the Opposition istx-
travaeant ou the priiicifb. that it unites in the Uniai:l

interests. To produce a necessity for this protection,
it fosters :t system of excessive expenditures. It favors
a wasteful system of internal improvements. It builds
forts and harbors at every inh t. It favors pension,
