Unless we rery much mistaken the intelligence and wot tue people ot JNorth Carolina, their ligiiation however " artificial" our own e cannot tail of being aroused by the 'jus and shameful wrong perpetrated by fyonYy in the Senate. Certain are we, ere i no man in North Carolina, unless ted with the same blind and slavish de- to party that maked the action of that ty, who will fail to put the stamp of his )ion upon the iniquitous proceeding. Is the second time that the Senate of North na has been disgraced by h.cofoco " high wi." Heaven crant that O " v v "J L LUC e ooiuiy charges that the southern democratic leaders so insisted throughout the South before the election, but, after the election was over, when xue proportion csune up to rescind this same rule, so absolutely essential to the interests of the South, these same southern democrats silent ly and quietly permitted the said rule to be re scinded, at the samo time having it in their power to prevent it. Mr. Clingman snewingly alludes to the "chivalry" of the South, and de picts the conduct of southern democratic lead ers as follows : There sat my colleague, (Mr. Saunders,) who went oft on th.s matter with a force that sent him during the past summer over the en tire State of North Carolina declaiming against the reception of abolition petitions. There too were the gentlemen from Georgia and other atates, who vied with each other in their denun ciation of all those who did not sustain the rule Inere all fvihese gentlemen tat, ouiet and , ' "Hi4u2unuiaJ was takin wriawr. with much scemjhff -UiTconcem their favorite rule killed off by a ifrge majori ty. 1 here was no burst of indignation : no ex clamation to the South, " Sampson, the Philip tines be upoir thee !" Not even the note of a goose, to give warning 0f the irruption of the Gauls. V ere they asleep, like the Roman sen tinels of the old time? No, no. sir; they were awake, but they were false watchmen "of the South traitor sentinels ! I have a right so to call them; tor, in denouncing me at the last session, some of them declared that any man who did not sustain the rule by all proper meaus, was it renegade and a traitor to the Southern fctates. According to the form of the logicians, the proposition would be as follows : Any Sou thern man who does not use his efforts to pre serve the rule is a renegade traitor. They were bouthern men. and might have preserved the rule by objection at the proper time, but would not do it. Therefore, they are renegade trait ore. Quod erat demonstrandum, as the Sopho mores say. How are we, Mr. President, to account for the curoro.inary change in the conduct of gentle men since the Presidential election? And 1 may also ask, why is it that Leavitt, the aboli tion editor, who wa-i refused at the last session a seat among the reporters of the House, is now occupant oi one ol the best positions in the ORGANIZE YOUR COMMITTEES No cause, however good and glorious, ever yet triumphed without a thorough organization of its friends.

Then Mr. Clingman proved to his own entire satisfaction, and, as he supposed, to the whole Union, that aMr. Rhett, Gen. Saunders, and oth ers, were traitorously betraying the South, and oasenj yielding to abolition influences. This same Mr. Clingman now bargains with a party, made up, us he then charged, of the vilest men a combination, as he then held, of the worst men on earth held together only by the cohesive power of public plunder. 3. In this speech of January, 1845, Mr. Cling man. who is now so far South, was then so far North, as to declare the 25th rule " a Humbug." 4- This same speech shows that Mr. Cling man was then foi- a protective Tariff. 5. He then declared that Mr. Clay had been cheated out of his election by the falsehoods and treachery of southern democrats and northern abolitionists, each segment of the party bavin adopted that side of any question that was strongest at home, at the same time each saying to the other, " God speed .vou, "brother ; you are working bravely for democracy." 6. He then compared the democratic party to a band of soldiers trained for public plunder, resolved to protect each other from the conse quences of any crime he may commit, without eciupieor conscience, calling to their aid and association murderers, gamblers, pickpockets, ,UUTO'' uuruers, unmbie riggers, corrupt of- uce-iioiuers, aerau iters, and the like.

No more will the swelling chorus ring with the dulcet names of Pierce and King.

COMMON SENSE. w?-110 -W1g "papers, and letters from Whigs, m Iew York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In diana, Florida, and Louisiana, speak most en couragingly of the prospects of Gen. Scott in those states. Senator Douglas savs that " tn. wi,;, never make nny progress." They made some progress in 1840, and they made some progress in 1848, and we guess they will make some pro gress next November. c.ucieu 10 mo senate this winter his influence nouiunave ueen euHeient to have turned the balances, and secured the Legislature to the W higs, m which event no man's claims could have come successfully in competition with his. W hat would have been the response of an hon est man to such conversations ? "I, sir have been following out the dictates of an honest judgment acting for my country, and not for myself influenced by patriotism, and not am bition and if the effect of such a course is to exclude me from office and honors, I Avill have the proud consolation to be derived from honest yuiposesy ana a consciousness of having acted from pure motives." In the language of the immortal Clay (alas ! we shall never have his like again,) be would have said: "I had rather be right than be President." But. ent was his answer. "Out of the abundance of tne neart the mouth speaketh." A seat in the United States Senate, the goal of his ambition, ever present to his mind, he speaks and acts in all things with reference to it. To the first he said, you are mistaken, this canvass was ar ranged for the benefit of Gov. Graham. To the other he substantially replied that he stood no chance for promotion in the Whig ranks of the btate, while so many older men whom he named were in the way. And on being asked by ano ther if he were going to take the stump for Pierce and King, he replied that Pierce had never done anything for him and he did not know that he was under any obligations to him. VV hat does all this show but an unhallowed ambition, controlled bv extreme .plfichm.ee Are all men influenced in their political course by the views which the v mav take of thf-irAh for office ? Does no one feel an interest in the r-resiaentiai election, except those who have re ceived personal fevors from the Candidates ? Is it not a matter of public concern, and is it not tne duty ot public men to speak out their opin ions without "envy, hatred or malice," or "fear, favor, or affection, reward, or the hope of re ward." I say it is ; and any man that acte up on a contrary principle is unsafe to be trusted with power. Why, air, this is but offering himself in mar ket to Presidential aspirants and their friends. Politicians are not slow to take these intimations, and they fully understand it here. From his' former success in the Mountain District, those persons who live at a distance believe him to be overwhelming with his constituents that he oan turn them about ta th support of any man mfitted on any occasien by either or both, though he is young and comnarativelv unaccustomed to public speaking. We call on ail whigs to look well to their principles, and not be led off by men who, like old hats, are not "what they used to once was." Ash. Mess. Sra Walter Scott, who knew enough of men and history to be a statesman on the broad scale of humanity, makes one of his characters say, in Old Mortality, " I never knew a real soldier" J (such, tor example, as Gen. Scott,) " who was not a frank-hearted honest fellow ; and I think the execution of the laws may be a thousand umes oeiier intrusted with them than with ped dling lawyers." (Qu: Gen. Pierce?) for the register, POLITICAL DISCUSSION. On Tuesday of Randolph Superior Court, Robert Dick, Esq the Democratic" candidate for Elector in this Congressional District, ad dressed the people in the Court House, and Mr. Gorrell, the Whig candidate, being sick, John II. Haughton, Esq., of Chatham, being invited to do so as assistant Elector, replied to Mr. Dick, at large. The discussion was opened by Mr. Dick in a speech of one hour and a half, in which he took the ground that the present Whig party, with some exceptions, is the same old Federal party which opposed the warof 1812, and subsequently the war with Mexico. His speech consisted mainly of assertions already stereotyped by ev ery Democratic Journal in the country. He stated among other things, in the outset of his speech, that the Democratic party were for a ttrjt construction of the Constitution; that they had acquired great glory and renown for the acquisition of territorv. lantic to the Pacific Ocean ; that they were for a low lanff; no distribution ofth nm .f.i,. public lands, and were sound upon the Compro miseall of which subjects he argued for the hour and a half allotted him nnrt nnnnH with an appeal to the people to stan.l h- Bm. ocratic principles. I must here be permitted to stiy that Mr. Dick exh 1 nitPll fl frrwid rlnmna n A n v b Wl fluency of speech, and altogether agreeably dis appointed many of his hearers. Hp is out some talent but, like all young men upon Hid ursi poiincai cumpaign, made up in round assertion and vain declamation, what ho lacked in proper information upon theso subjects. His time expiring, r fuShoa replied in a peech rplet with, political information, in reply to the as sertion of Mr. Dick, that the Whigs of the pres ent dayare the Federalists of the war 1812. He called the attention o"&at gentleman to the f'Ut thilf tlaaa li.,.,.., a- . ,a... . . V fcmucrauc party in llSO had vo ted for and elected Mr. Van Buren Presides, with a knowledge of the tact that aMr. Van Bu ren had opposed the war of 1812, while Mr Madison, the war President, was filling the measure of his country's glory for the prosecu- wa,aa v,. W.C , lUilC aTl T. UlCt liad gOU6 tO tll6 Baltimore Democratic Convention, as a delegate and voted for arfd sustained to the last the name ot James Buchanan for the Presidency, as did the- whole North Carolina Delegation, with a full knowledge that Air. Buchanan was an old federalist, and had ouce said, if he knew that any Democratic blood' was iu his veins, he would let it out with a lancet ! Talk about Whb' s being federalists, said Mr. Haughton; whee was Clay, the great personification of Whi principles, iu the war of DS12 ? He was the Hercules ol that day, aud had it not been for his clarion voice m the councils ol the country, the war would never have been waged by the, peo ple of this country. Upon that subject Mr. Haughton was more eloquent than I have be fore heard him, and he paid a glorious tribute to the memory of the immortal Clay. Upon this part of the speech of Mr. Haughton all conceded he spiked the guns of the enemy and drove his adversary completely to tho wall. In repiy to in., uiet, about the Democratic party being strict obstructionists of the Constitution he asked that gentleman if he did hot know the tact that aMr. Jofieison, the great apostle of De mocracy, bad admitted himself, that, in the ac quisition of Louisiana, he bad jumped over the Constitution. How then, said aMr. Hauhton, docs it happen that our Democratic friends are all of a sudden such marvellous strict construc tionists of the Constitution ? It is only an as sertion, without one particle of proof. On the contrary, no party have given themselves more latitude in construing that instrument. But aMr. Dick had said that General Scott's letter of acceptance was not satisfactory to the South upon thc Compromise ; that Gen. Scott said he accepted the nomination with the Resolutions annexed ; and that meant that he accepted it n.M;..i,u,iui,iy me iwesoiutioiis ; thereby show ing he considered the resolutions an incum brance. What else, said Mr. H.an-rhf.-.n ,,i.t he have done? After showing "the obvious meaning and intention of Gen .S,.ntt. laitt-aar Aid Mr. Dick's objectiou reminded him nf'thn marriage of a Dutchman, who was about to marry a girl who was tho owner of s and the Dutchman, much more earnest in get ting hold of the slaves than the wife, when asked by the Parson, " wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife," feariug that noth.no- oe said about tne property, immediately replied "oh! yes, and the niggers too!" Upon the subject of the Tariff, of which Mr. D: k huA said the Democratic party were for low duties, .ii. jiiiu-uion mosi; n.ippny replied that the Democrats professed this doctrine when thev passed the Tariff of 1S40, and then covertly in- erted a clause in the Diplomatic Bill. tlt. it. did not produce reccnue enough, and allowin" aMr. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury, nlenarv powers in regulating the Tariff according to hi own discretion in the administration of the law i ii . ... .

Fayettecille Observer. To Whipping Mothers. A little boy yester day tumbled into the dock. A sailor sprang in and brought him out again, about half dead with fright and excessive draughts of salt water. When he recovered from the shock, he began to sob and cry most piteously. He was assured that he was not hurt "I know that well enough,' said he, with a fresh burst, "but mother said she would lick me if I got drowned, and I know she'll do it, for she always does." Day Book. the Democratic partv had voted for and eWto,, Martin Van Buren to the Presidency, a man always for high Tariffs, inj 1830 ; as also voting for Mr. Buchanan another LicrhTni-iflF-mm. liriotaa in the late Democratic Contention, and the au thor of the Bill of Abomination as it was called. And upon the subject of the public lands, which .Mr. Dick had said the Democrats alwavs believ ed and had acted upon it, that they should bo reserved tor the support of the government and not divided out among the States, Mr. Haugh ton showed the inconsistency of the Democracy by the bills recently passed by a Democratic Con gress, giving away large tracts of this public domain to the States in which tho land lies. Next Mr. Haughton took up the matter, a. charged by Mr. Dick, of tho Seward influence of Gen. Scott, and showed most conclusively that this old story of Seward influence was bas ed upon nothing tangible, and repelled the charge not only with arguments in themselves conclusive, but in addition thereto established it by the testimony of Democratic authority, Quitman and others, and then, turning upon his adversary, 6aid that this charge of Freeaoil views ascribed to Scott comes with a bad grace from the Democracy, when Cleveland and oth ers (violent Democrats) are every where at the North assailing Gen. Scott for his opposition to Freesoil and Abolition opinions, and cheering on the Democracy to go for Pierce, because he holds opinions in consonance with the Freesoilern and Abolitionists ! f th Uddr at one.."
