a connected verbal account. In this dilem
ma, we could pve nothing but the impres
aions made upon? tts by those we casually
heard gpeak of it; arfd, consequently, our no
tice was so short as noty it seems, to be well
understood. The v?ord lt disptiVagement,"
used by us, had no reference whatever indi
vidually' to our friend, B. S. Johnsbny Esq
We were too fully sensible of his capacityj
from both: inclination and ability, to render
his house attractive to th'ose who seek his
hospitality. No one knows better how to
entertain his guests than Mr. Johnson ; and
it would give us mucbr pain; if ho or any
other respectable person should suppose that
we would intentionally misrepresent a citizen
so highly valued by the community in which
he1 resides. We differ with him m politics,
and could not be brought to support a candi
date of his party for a political office, yet we
respect Llm as a man, and regard him as the
worthy head of an estimable family.
We have heard worthy citizens, in whose
judgment we have much confidence; say that
the celebration was Conducted in a spiritless
manner; and that the audience was disap

Is he a Democrat?
The Lincoln" Courier of April 2Sth,
1849, contains the following:
"We believe there is a great deal of un
necessary noise made, as regards the remo
vals from office, now being made by the new
Administration : such was to be expected,
and it vfould seem inconsistent in us to con
demn a citstom, the observance of which we
fully justified four years ago. Oifics in our
government is not herditary, and we see no
reason when onechange is made, the whole of
fice holding community should not be,
thoroughly renovated We bfclohg to the dem
octratic party, but tnust be excused from dab
bling as freely as some of our brethren in its
slang and unnecessary venom. We wisli the
present Administration success j and we think it
Cart arid will get along beticwri tlie two par
ties; as well as if it held strickly to cither
tch iij or democrat."
The above, in the opinion of democrats,
Smells strongly of Taylor whiggery, and ful
ly justifies any one in asserting that the
"Courier" is devoted to the "success"" of
the "present Administration,"
Through the campaign, and sirice, the
whig papers' labored bard td cdrivince the
people that Taylorism stood " between" the
two parties; and this bcticeeniig was tile dri
ly issue openly presented by the whigs.
If, then, a paper sustaius the only princi
ple that the whigs have openly contended
for, is it a matter of wonder that it should
be classed with these papers that " wish silc

We have exprcsec! oufsclf in accordance
with the above; and any one who reports
that, and rto niore; asserts A truth too well
known, and too freely acknowledged to be
called in question. He who goes beyond
this, must be a funny fellow who enjoys a
joke however low may be the subject upon
which it is perpetrated.
We beg one friends not to be alarmed at

our present apparent willingness to stoop to
little things beneath their notice. When it
is remembered that wc are, in some degree,
still under the influence of the exhilcrations

readily excuse us for shooting one or two
small potatoes, especially as they are just
now abundant.
We take occasion to say that we shall not
stoop to the use of low' vulgarisms; nor admit
into our paper uy thing offensive to a delecate
ear. Cmr readers will surely appreciate our
forbearance, and thank us for not soiling

all we could to get the proceedings of the

to publish any thing he would furnish; but
principles that no system of annoyance de
vised by the whigs, whether they wage war
upon us personally, aim a blow at our busi
ness, or employ degraded instruments which
can only excite a derisive smile, shall ever
effect our purpose. As far as the Republi
can is concerned, we shall pursue the even
tenor of our way ; but, in a spirit of kindness,
we frankly apprise the whigs of Lincolnton
that, although desiring to be a christian, we
are mortal, and ready to retalliate any in
justic they may do us, individually or col
lectively. We preserve our social relations
and business distinct from politics, and shall
be happy to cultivate a friendly intercourse
with all who' pursue a similar course; but
let not our politics be dragged into business
to our disadvantage, or those who engage, in
it, may live to repent it. -"-,
Federal Convention5 Fede
ral Politicians Federal
Scheme.
In looking over th'e proceedings of the
" Whla Convention" held on the 4th ot
July, at Albemarle, Stanly county, for the
purpose of nominating a whig candidate for
Congress, to' oppose Mr. Caldwell, the
Independent Candidate in this district,
we search in vain for any declaration of
principle to govern their representative,
should he, by series gf false pledges, to be
j made to the people on" the stump, succeed
in getting into Congress.
Oh counting noses, iu this far famed con
vention, it appeared that seme counties had
scut large delegations, embracing most of
their leading f nderal office seekers ; that
others, (Gaston for instance,) could raise
but two, " Dr. J. C. Rudisfll aud Andrew
Hoyl ;" and that Lincoln Was not represent
ed at all.
Andrew Hoyl, Esq., a respectable old
gentleman, but a most Jjitter a'nd violent
whicr, as most of our readers know, was
one of the vice presidents ; and the secretary
was Dr. D. AsburyVof Gold-mine notoriety in
Gaston, a federalist as well calculated as any
we know, to devise a political scheme to de
ceive the people; and rule off any of the
whig candidates whose appearance in the
canvass, might interfere with the leading de
signs of the federal paiy.
The proceedings of the convention exhibit
as much ' shameless political wickedness as
can be discovered hi the acts of any similar
body, not excepting the Philadelphia Slaughter-house;
there they rriurdered Clay; the fath
er of ichiggcry iere they have assaWn'oted
Littley and Ingram, the cildren of federalism
and, they say ', have frightened the stoilt heart
ed Dockery, and fun' L'iiri otit at the back
door ! Whether he will retire, like Clay
seething iu the caldron of bitter disappoint
ment, or draw the sword of resistance, re
mains to be seed. .
' To show our rea'derswhat the convention
did do, and all th"y did, in the way of reso
lutions, we copy from the Charlotte Journal
the following extract :
Tbs, Delegates from the county of Richmond
except D. t?. Mclntyre, came into the Convention
with ihe underst mdinjf that should any th'ng oc
cur, to render their position" unpleasant, ihay re
serve the ng'it to withdraw from the Convention.
The following preamble and resolutions were of
fered and read by Absalogi Myers, Esq,, which
Were unariiriionsly. Adopted by the Convention, vii-
Whereas, this Convention believes in the repub
lican doctiine, that a majority ought to govern, in
all assemblies of the people, or their representa
tives: And whereas, the basis of voting heretofore
adopted in Dis rict Conventions for the selection
of represeilta,tives in the Congic&s of the Uni
ted States, of allowing blie vote for each member
of the House of Commons, is believed lb be unequal
and unfair, as a candidate may thereby be, nomi
nated by delegate representing a minority of ihe
Whigs )f the District.
Therefore, Resolved, That a Committee of two
Lrhcmbeis from each County, represented in this
I i.' 1 iu'' ni r"Ju
'iijveiJiiuii, ic a I'jJOiiiiuu uy Hie i;cii-gaicaui cetu
county ; with instructions to report sonic, plan by
which the votes given in the selection of a candi
date for representative in Congress shall be based
as near as possible, on the Whig vote in each' coun
ty in the District
The attentive, reader will notice that the
delegates claiming to represent " the county
of Richmond," could have had no instructions
from the people to participate in the conven
tion and abide the result ; for they reserved
" the right to withdraw froni the Con vention."
This means, if it means any thing, that if
the nominee did not happen to be agreeable
to their own peculiar views, they would no
submit to the decision of the maiorift ; and
while a portion are thus standing out on
their reserved rights, the Convention has the
audacity to desecrate the tt republican doc
trine" which requires " that d majority shall
rule" to the vile gsfieiries of Federalism.
Like Taylor's pledges whieh were never in

will not answer for this new-born no-par
ty federal whiggery. They say that the
practice in conventions of allowing one vote
for each member of the House of Commons;
is believed to be" unequal and unfair ; and
then they aprjoiii't ia committee) " with in

they can cheat the people and secure a fed
