character and good fame of our public men as part T circumstanc s I should feel disposed to yield to
of the treasure of the nation, not to be li-htlv dls- : the wi;ihes of to Ptai! friends, even though they
paraged or tarnished by partisan folly or reckless
ness. The journalists who deal in nothing but
plaudits for their friends and execrations for their
foes.
"Who over-violent or over-civil,
Make every man a God or devil"
are shut out out from their degrading occupation' !y
the well-known and universally acknowledged char-
acter, abilities, services, and personal dignity of our
candidates. These qualifications are calling to our
standard many who have heretofore been numbered j
among our opponents. There will, we predict, be j
a stampede among the old-line whigs, North as well
as South. .
One of tha uppermost sentiments in the minds of
the American people is, that the presidential offke
should not be lovverd by vulgarity of life and assoei.
ations on the part of the occunant, or by underbred
habits and manners. There is no apprehension of
this under our candidates. Can as much be said f .
the others ? . !
"Gov. Floj'd, Secretary of War, is known to be a
Douglas man. A correspondent of the ' Boston
Herald says that Gov. Touecy, Secrteary of' the
Navy, maintaints that Douglas is the regularly nom
inated national democratic candidate ; and that it is
the duty of the Connecticut democracy to uoit.
cordially and earnestly in his surport."
We copy the foregoing from the Procbhnee (R. T-)
Daily Post, for the sole purpose of giving the state
ments which it makes the promptest and most une
quivocal denial : and of. at the same time, r;.;llinr the

the people, while Air. Badger oecasionall' will let

Now, Mr. Editor, is not the Know Nothing party
of North Carolina a great humbug? Realy men

Position op Mr. Buchanan Now that the m-
harmonious demorcacy have placed their platforms
and candidates before the people, we may reasona
bly expect that the partisan war which lias been
waged with so much imdingnity against tne presi
dent will be suspended. The black republicans
will now turn their batteries agrainst uougias ana
Breckinridge, and leave Mr. Buchanan to the future
historian. When his administration comes to be
examined by an unprejudiced and capable critic, its
record will be found to c'ompar favorably with that
of any of Mr. Buchanan's predecessors. The very
same men who led the opposition against Mr. Polk
low stand ready to canonize him as a Faint. That
vill be the case with Mr. Buchanan, and history
.vill say that his Administration was elm -acterized ;

without th votes of tuese. and witnout tlieir in-

minority and all nope or success couijieieiy u:s.ioj.
etL But they are willing to acquiesce in a plan by
which tlie Democratic vote ot Connecticut can be.
made efficient. Tne plan already proposed of n anim
ating an electoral ticket having turea Breckinridge
amiDouglas electors upon ir, a.ui if elected, tn
vote to oe. given to eitner one it will elect, seems to
meet with tue approval of the supporters of Breck
inridge. They uo not favor this plan througb fear
or shrinking on tiieir Dart; but because they desire
to prom 'te harmony in the party and wish to aid
defeat of Abolitionism. Siialt not, then, this or a
similar plan be adopted in this Scate? Is it not in
cumoent upon all UeiuoCats to oriug about a uaion
of the party by some means that will be effectual?
And as the proposition made seems feasible and
likely to produce good results, to refrain from adopt
iiv it or a better one shows either a foolish conti.l -
i-nce in the strengt i of Mr. Douglas, or else an
asinine stubbornt-ss that will not yield even to save
the Democratic Party from destruction. It may, ap
peai bold tor Douglas's supporters io refuse any
compromise, witn Breckinridge's friends; but to
honest Democrats it seems recKless, and exhibits a
wiliin"-ncss to g;ve the Government into Republican
bands0 The Democratic masses of this State must
insit upon union and concentration of our force, and
must not listen to unwise and unpatriotic voices of
men who are determined to elect wither Mr. Douglas
o-. .Mr. Lincoln. Let us, then, as Democrats and
Americans give our e (forts to tne accouiptislimjnt of
