BRING OUT THE BIG GUN!
A Democratic meeting has been hild iir
BuiMcoinn u!
There was a leading article in the last "Stan
dard" which was well calculated both to-'terrifv"
nd amuse. It begins by inviting " attention
especially" to "an admirable and eloquent letter
signed'A live Democra'."' At this point we in
voluntarily pa-used, and turned with eagerness
and deep curiosity to the letter of this real, gen
uine, bona fide, and actually live Democrat, (lor
no ni-tn, be he Whig or Democrat, Jew or Gentile,
Christian or Mah- meuan, could have written such
a letter unless he utu actually "a lice" and -kick.
ingr)
Well, we read, we actually did, the letter of
this "rara avis in lerrit," a "live''' Democrat, and
soon we' found ourselves alternately "wrapped in
the solitude" of enchantment, and aroused into
terror and alarm fur the consequences of the future !
Tropes and figures, some of ibe sooih ng, and
others of the "artillery bursting,'' terror producing
character, metaphors, like qnto comets, with their
tajl extending across the whole heavens, threats
and i roaiisea, :he first for the "poor,'' "discomfi
ted ' VVhigs the latter for the "unterrified'' De
mocracy, all interspersed here and there, with a
sparkling scintillation of genuine attic wii, and an
occasional pun, peeping oui from ibe rich foliage
of far-fetched ihouglit, all accompanied with abuse
and misrepresentation of the VVhigs these things,
came so quick and powerfully on the mind, that
we really concluded we had been transport d ii.:o
THE PRESIDENCY. 1
Every public meeting which has been held in
North Carolina by the Whig Party, has declared
its preference for Mr. F.IImore over all others for
the Presidency ; but we believe, rnot ol ihem have
declared a determination, in express terms, to
abide the decision of (he Whig National Conven
tion, provided its nominee is in favor of the ad
justment measure, as a final settlement of the
Slavery question.t That be will be a reliable
Whig, iD aU other reapects, 'here is n room for
doubt, inasmuch as there is no difference of opin
ion amongst the Whigs ia reteiet.ee to other mea
sures of public pqlicy, which will be most likely
to come under discussion in the campaign.
There may be a few interventionists in our ranks,
but they will be able to do nothing towards dis
trcting the Party.
One question, which now appears to divide
both Parlies iu Congress, ia this : wbether express
pledges, in writing, shall be required of the Can
didate, and whether the Conventions shall make
any declarations whatever, iu reference to the
Compromise measures?
It appears to be conceded that the nomination
ofeiiher Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Webster, will be a
virtual endorsement of the Compromise by the
Wnig Convention.
It is also admitted by many Southern Whigs,
that Gen Scon was in favor of the Compromise,
and did all be could to secure its passage ; but
still, ihey demand that he shall give to the public
a written pledge to sustain it, whilst there are
others, who, satisfied that he favored these mea
sures whin ther were under consideration, and

way of hi aspirants lor the President-J .
, We expect to hear Scott, Webster, and Fill

Oh? Locofocoism, your name ia selfishness,
and your eye is ever fixed upon the ypoils."
THE ISSUE MADE.
The old "Fogies" will have to stand aside for

No wonder the Editor of the Standard was so
enthused he had to stop and take a smoke!
2 "'While he elements of dui ord are surging
wildly through their ranks, ; nd producing a
tieautiiul bUi? of contusion, worse coutounded, all
stared up wiiii a iu g ( onveniion pole with a

These extracts vvill suffice to prove what we
have sid of this epistle, which would have done
uoiiorlo the renowned Bombastes, in Ins palmiest
days.
We turned to the editorial of the Standard, and
nreatiied freer ! Ii was like descending from the
clouds to mother earth, s ill, Uere was so much
of the teinfic, so much " ihunder," so many
"echoes,"" so much "vduine and strength" threat
ened lhe Whigs, so much "roaring" of that same
big gun,'' ao much ''rUling back to the confines,''
itiat we even ihen doubled whether this was terra
jirma. Under the feelings produced by such a
flourish of trumpets," on the part of two such
live Democrats, we concluded that the meeting
must have equalled the one from which the Revo.
iuiionary wuithy fled, affrighted, exclaiming, thai
"men were like the number of stars iu the firma

thunder of "he "unterrified." Weieared to look
t the account, of the meeting, buiTy.U we did look
when ! we found that but a '"large and respec
table portion of the Democrats of Buncombe"
had assembled in counsel and that they did what
was xpected of them, what they did before, went
for "Reid, Democracy, and Fhee Surf rage !"
VV e.'l, we concluded, thai if this was all, the
Whig ship, though it may be impeded at pre.

is not stranded, and we res-Jed in the hope, that

Bu: there is more if all this flourish of the
Standard and lhe "lite Democrat'' than meets the
eye at first glance. There was no Resolu
tion passed at that meeting against an open
Convention! Could one have been passed!
Were not its members for an open Convention, at
leasl in the event that they cannot get their par
ticular amendments through without one? We
judge the East was looked to in all this move
ment, for whilst iio opinion against a Convention,
was expressed in lhe meeting, yet that "live De
mocrat" and the Standard both seek, by iraplica
tion, to make the impression, that ihere was ! Oh J
yes, lake care of the East, you may offend her
raise her suspicions ihere is much in the adage,
"ait est, in celere artem."
Aside from all this, the "Standard" seeks to
leave the impression that the Whigs are endeavor
ing to make a party mailer of and oui aftlieques.
tioh of amending the Constitution. Who started
".hisball? W ho first pui it in motion? Has
the "Standard' forgotton the campaign of l84J,
when the Constitution was dragged by his own
leader, into the filthy arena of party ? Who be
fore had proposed to disturb any part of it? He
cannot answer these questions, without putting to
platform, and o'hers requiring ihat a resolution
approving the Compromise should be added to
that platform. Some insist, that no written de
claration pledging their Candida; e to any course,
in reference to the Compromise, should be re
quired. This would give to the nomination of
some of tli se Dem icrats spoken of, a strength
amongst the Free Soiiers, which Would enable
the Parly to carry the vote of 'hat faction.
If the Democratic Convention should nomina'e
Gen. Cass, bis known tvasiou of the vote on the
Fugi ive Slave law, will give him an advantage
with Northern tanatics, who are so bitterly opposed
to that particular measure. With such men, he
and Douglass wou.d have the advantage of not
(? -
appearing on the record, by their vol s, in favor of
this measure, at the time it was patttd.
The argument then, at the North, so far as
either of these aspirants is concerned, will be some
what after ibis fashion : "I; is true, he. like a good
citizen, "acquiesces in this measure, which we
consider so odious; but he has not the sin on his
head, of having voted fir it, thereby approving it
as ii originally passed Congresa. He had a chance
to vote for it, but did -not; for him, therefore, it
may at leist be said, that he had some scruples of
conscience, and htsiialed under their influence."
Such an argument or quibble, whichever ii may
be termed, would be a powerful weapon in the
hands of the biuer .opponents of lhe Fugitive Siave
law, and will, prove, that there is some virtue in
'dodging" votes!
Taking ii for granted, that Gen. Scott was in
favor of this measure, when it was under consid
era" ion, either Douglas or Cass would 'iave lhe
advantjigeovcreither of the three men now spoken
of by the Whigs for the Presidency, wiih all the
Northern Abolitionists and Free Soiiers. It is
well knowc, ihat both Mr. Webster and Mr.
Fil more have rendered themselves odious to such
men. They have been denounced by them wi h
extreme bitterness.
Thus Ftand the difficulties, in both political par
ties, in reference to wfiaidiclaration, if any, shall
be made by their Conventions, respectively ; and
alsfl, as 10 whether writien pledges should be re
quired ot their Candida'e. 11 vv they will settle

through such men ap Rantoul, Sumner, Van Bu

can ; and the out cry which has been raised by
the "Standard," that VVhigs are endeavoring 10
secure the rotes of Sew ard and his Party, comes
wiih bad grace from tht Organ ! Did the Loco

present Speaker of the House was elec'ed to that
office ! Did they scout such votes as Preston

Mr. Borland made a report from the joint com

the 8th iasi., the committee decided to give the
printing for the present Congress, of the House
of Representatives, to Donelson & Armstrong,
and 6f the Senate to Gideon 8t Co. And by a
resolution of Ue 12ih inst.. fixed the prices to be
allowed those contained in Mr. Rives' bid for

committee, he asked Iu be discharged from fur

Mr. Editor : It may be necessary to call at
tention to the fact thai the Whig meeting which
assembled in Johnston County, appointed dele
ga es to meet in this place on one of the same
days of the State Convention, to select a represen
tative from this Congressional District to ibe
Whig Na ional Convention, This propositi n
as far as I have heard, has been approved. But
it must be remembered, that as yet, the County
of Wake has ' appoin ed no delegates to a District
Convention. I propose, therefore, that the Whigs
meet at 10 o'clock, A. M., on th"e 26 h of this
month, which is the day for the assembling of the
Slate Convention. If they meet at thai hour they
will have full time to select their delegates to the
District Convention, without interfering with the
meeting of the State Convention, as that has
usually assembled at the hour of twelve or later.
I presume that there will be more Whigs from
the County in town on that dav than any other
until the meeting of the State Convention.

(LT In an article which appears in the last num
her of the Literary Messenger entitled " Albert,
Prince Consort, of England," lhe following sug
gestion is made. " If the English Nation ever
were 10 deliver themselves from the costliness of
an unnecessary throne, no bet'er opportunity will
ever be presented, than at lhe death of the present
Q,ueen. , Now suppose Prince Albert survives her,
let me as an American, who, of course, know
better than any Englishman, can do, what sort
of aluff is gdod t make a President of, having
assisied at the making of many a one let me take
the liberty of nominating, through the columns of
1 he Messenger, for lite first President if the Bri
tish Isles Prince Albert."
The writer is either in j ke. or he is imitating
lae ' illustrious example" of Kossuth, who whilst
in England, favored us with the nomination of
Mr. Walker as one of the Loco Foco candidates

He has dined with two kings; one empress, one

has had the British crowa in his hand. Has been

of whom he survived. Broken down by disease,
he could no longer practice his profession too
poor to live without employment too proud to
become a pauper, he sailed in an emigrant ship
to this counlry three years ago, and this man of
remarkable adventures, classic education, master
of four languages, 60 years of age, poor, old and

Gen. S -muel Houston, in a late speech, is said
to have stated a fact not generally known, and
which is of importance to the families of soldiers
who were murdered by order of Santa Anna, at Go
liad, in 1836 It is that ihe Legislature of Texas,
several years ago. passed an act, giving to the next
of kin of each soldier who fell in Ihat massacre,
sixteen hundred acres of land, to be located on
any of the unappropriated lands belonging to that
State.
BT We see it stated in an' Arkansas Journal
that Ross, the chief ot ihe Cnerokees, has ascer

a population ot y.UUU persons, auo is worm ujil.
THE FISHERIES,
The Plymouth, (N. C.) Villager of the 7th inst
says: "The fishermen are in bad luck, many; of
them are not paying expenses, and the probabili
ty is, that unless the run of the fish shall increase
very soon, many of them will sustain "heavy los
ses. They are catching very few on the Roanoke,
and less on the Sound."
O" The third annual meeting of the Stockhol
