Tho "Wilmington Journal'' (loco,) comments with severity upon the short-comings of the recent LelzisLtire. and, as "will be sca f.om the folio wbg extract, lays the blame 'of retard ing the legitimate busiuess f the session' at the right doorf. It jiavsY 1 "As a whole, the session of 1852 has sained an unenviable notoriety. Its action willbe a le gitimate tjheme for animadversion, and we shall take an early opportunity to! review it cour teously and fairly, but without fear, favor or af- iection ; Exposing the causes .which have fed to results w hich all must deprecate, and exhibiting its proper light,, the spirit 'olfaction, sclfislt ness and disorganization which has fettered the action of tlie Democratic parly disappointed the hone?) of all sincere workers in the icauso, and fMrdud Qie. lejitimaU business of the session." (jen-. IftEKCE's Cabinet;. Ifc is stated that.l General Pierce held a conferohc with invited menus, at the Tremont House, in Boston, on SaiurJ;iy regarding his Cabinet.

We propose to put the Editor on the spit and roast him ; awhile at his own lire. , The editorial, to which we allude, after much pow-wowing, by way ef preface, opens the bat tery of falsehood, towards tho bottom of the first column, where it- states that the report of the Committee " assigned to the Democrats 22 districts, and to the Whigs 22, and left six dis tricts in doubt." Now this is simply untrue. The bill reported by the committee gave the Democrats 23 districts, the Whigs 18, and left 4 in doubt; and the Editor of the ' Standard" knows it. It was this iniquitious and' tyranni cal bill that a portion of the Whigs of the House resolved and declared never should pass, and they deserve honor for it. This proposition to give the locofocos a majority of ton in the Sen ate was a tyranny not to be borne by the Rep resentatives of freemen. The two Houses had passed a joint order to adjourn on the 22d, and the time would have expired at midnight. Mr. lleid, of Duplin, the author of this infamous gerrymander,, had pre viously given notice that this -was the only bill that cutild pass. The .Whigs felt bound to re sist it, in justice to their constituents, to the bit ter end, and they Resolved to tltrow on the loco focos the responsibility of adjourning the House at midnight, or to pass a more just bill. This is a simple statement of the case. But no--the locofoco members sat silent, and seemed deter mined, as the time wore apace, to 'rusk the hor rors of anarcliy and disorganization, rather than do Justice. They ware appealed to, again and again, to give an intimation that they would do i justice, and that then every Whig would unite j in 'rescinding the joint order for adjournment j at twelve. But all would not do. The locofo- j cos seemed bent on anarchy and confusion, civ il war and bloodshed, disorganization and open conventions anv tuin-. rather than cive up f their darling gerrymander. The " Standard" tells the truth once, when it says ' the excite ment became intense." The locofoco Raleigh Clique did look " mortified and indignant"' he Editor of the " Standard" stalked like a ghost around the lobby, encouraging his men to risk revolution and anarchy, rather than al low the Whigs to have justice. About 11, Mr. Puryear offered his resolution to rescind the order of adjournment till 12 next day and Mr. Speaker Baxter, stating that he thought he saw a disposition, among some of the locofocus, to offer a compromise, put the resolution it was carried, and here ended the first act of the dra ma. It was the locojocos who threatened anar chy and civil commotiojn it was they who threatened to leave the State government with out organization if they could not palm off on the Whigs their odious bill. It was the-firmness of Whigs, headed by Cherry, Leach, Fagg, Dargan, Caldwell, and others, that saVed us from tho must tyrannical oppression, and savei she State government from disorder. It was they who warned tho other party of the consequen ces ; it was they who painted the horrors of dis order ; it-was they who appealed to the justice and patriotism of the House and it was their warning voiced, it was their appeals, it was their firmness, that saved the Whig party, and saved the State. And tho "Standard," after . f . , T ' , lence. alter having done its best to nlunge the State Government into political chaos, rather than loso its gerrymander, has the brazen im- ' . . , the Whies. This crv of ''stop tiiiel can not ; 6 1 Wcll,'on Thu-sday, the struggle was renew- el," as stated by the "Standard." (Whenever tha papr aocs nappen to ten tne jruin, it sui liave due credit for it.) The "Standard" goes on to say, that the bill, as amended, "having been read a second time, the revolutionary lead ers insisted that the rules should be suspended, so as to give a third reading before 12 o'clock.'' This is not so. It was Wkvis who insisted that the rules should be, suspended. They knew there was but a short time to pass the bill bc ' fore 12 o'clock, and they were anxious to put it through at once, rather than risk a state of anarchy, by adjournment, without passing the bill. But the locofoco "revolutionary leaders" opposed tho suspension of the rules, anda yet the "Standard" has the recklessness to intimate that they were in favor of suspension. Every one present knows$that Messrs. Hill,. Strange, and Others, of tho locofoco leaders, talked against time, so as to consuufe all the moments left be fore 12 o'clock. The "Standard", says further, that Mr. Bax' ter, on resuming the Chair, after his re-election, 0a Friday morning, "said that several Demo crats had urged mm to arrest the movements of those who were about. to produce a revolution." Untrue again. Mr, Baxter charged no one, Whig or Democrat, with trving to produce a re volution. .If he alludedo to any such purpose, his allusion could phave applied only to the! locofocos for it was thej.who had resolved, on Wednesday night, to run the hazard of disor ganization, rather than not pass their detestable gerrymander- and it was they, who resolved to speak out the'time till 12 on Thursday, rather than allow the bill then before the House to pass in time for adjournment. But Mr. Baxter, in that speech, charged no one with trying to produce a revolution. We understand the lugubrious tone of the " Organ's" editorial. Its j jeremiads are no feigned. Its tears are not crocodile tears, this time. The Editor; of the "Standard'? is jn sore trouble indeed. The reason is not stilted in the editorial on which! wo have been commenting- but we know what it is. It is because the loco foco gerrymandering bill was defeated. Reid's bill was lost; and the Whigs, by their firmness, and their devotion to law andorder, obtained asfaira compromise, as they could have expected, under t the circumstances. Hence the 'Standard's' trou- ' bios. - Jlinc ilia laclu-ymcc. This struggle over' the Senatorial districts must ever be recurred to with the bitterest mortification by the locofoco party. After all their arrogance and threats after their mad schemes of anarchy and disorder- after all .their revolutionary and disorganising proceed ings they ultimately failed in getting their gerrymander through. And the leaders and abettors of their wild and dangerous! purposes .will ever be held up to public odium in North "Carolina, as having endeavored to sacritico order find government in the State for mere partizan strength. To tho Whigs, the recollection of this struggle will ever be a source of j gratifica tion and pride. By the firmness of their friends in the Legislature, they rescued tho Whig party in the State from the most oppressive; tyranny. By their devotion to the principles of 'conserva tism, of law and of order, they prevented loco foco madness from precipitating the government into the horrors of anarchy. " And, now, what will the - honest, law-abiding people of North Carolina say , to these things? If that Legislature had adjourned sine f'e, without laying off the Senatorial Dis tricts, the government would (in the Opinion of many) have been dissolved, for the simple rea son, that, according to the Constitution, the Senatorial Districts cannot be laid off at "the second session after 1851. What then? Why, I (according to the opinion of many,) a Conven tion would have been the inevitable result." Whether this be so . or not, trouble and confu sion must have followed. " And all this brought about by party spirit, and a desire among "tho leaders of the locofoco party " for advancement and party honors. The sum and substance of what these" locofoco "revolutionists deman ded, was this : Give us just what we want give us the Senatorial Districts to suit us jicc them to us uoir, or ice iciU breuk vp thits ijovern- mart, and precipitute all interests iittoihe eortcx of revolution. The whet. Is of aroverniaent rush ed upuu chaos ; and whilj " the Whigs "wept over a condition of things they could not change, the unscrupulous " locofoco " loaders were thinking only of Party, and of the advantages to be gained at the expanse of political oppo nents." "Yet the work of faction and mad party spirit went on " with the locofocos, "and but for the firmness and patriotism" of the Whig, "this State might possibly have been without a Legislature, afloat upon the sea of change, uncertainty and revolution." The "Standard" Speaks of going int) this matteV more fully hereafter. So do. We lire going to do that very thing, ourselves.1 We in tt n 1 to inform the people how locofoco; violence and party madness have endeavored to sacrifice justice, light, law and liberty, to party ends; and how the Whigs have struggled to preserve the honor of the State, and to promote the in terests of the people. THE LATE SCENE IN THE HUSE. Se; ! m has it been our lot to witness a more interesting and exciting scene, than was wit nessed in the ILiuse of Commons on the tven iiigof the 2:2d, w hen the locofrco leaders. had. given tut the intimation, tirat they would force through their gerrymander of the Senatorial Districts, even at tho hazard of disoriranisin-' the government of the State.! Then it w-.is,.that Mr. Cherry, cf Bertie, rose an I made his thril ling appeal to the Whigs. What made his speech have such telling effect, was, that Mr. C. is usual! v a calm and collected man. Ho ' does not speak very ouen, but when lie does, he 1 . , ,., . .. . is deliberate and cool. On the occasion allud ed to, he was excited and eloquent, and his ap- i peal to the Whigs sounded through the hall, as i the toes;n of resistance t tvrannv. Mr. C. s eon . - - . stuuents have cause to be proud of him. Hon j reaJv in dcbate; We believe-and we have j the ,llinio frequently expressed by othc.tliat it is in a verv rcat measure owimr to tho rallying and vry effective speeches of Messrs, Cherry, Leach, Dargan, Fagg, andothers, that so favorable a compromise was effected. And let us not fail to do ample justice-to Mr. Speaker Baxter. Although, at one time, there seemed to bo some fear of disturbance -between Mr. Ii. and some of his W.hig friends, yet, on a few words of explanation, all was right the grounds of misapprehension were removed atnl Mr. B. was more highly elevated than ever in the esteem of his Whig friends. Mr. Baxter's position was this : that ooner than allow the Reid gerrymander to pass, he would adjourn the House at the time fixed by the joint order. But, as soon as he saw a disposition to coni' promise on the other side, then it was he exer ted his influence and his power to put a stop to the scene then pending. We think he did right. It is true, he exhorted his friends to be firm in resisting oppression, but ho advised and enfor ced a truce, as soon as he saw the white flag held out.- Ho did much, very much, both to save the Whigs from being slaughtered, and the State government. from being ieoparded. For this he is entitled to the gratitude of not only every Whig but of every true-hearted North Car 1 olinian. As Speaker, Mr; Baxter has gained great repu- tatioh in the chair, by his rigid impartiality, his promptness of decision, and his manly indepen dence of character. We hope he will continue in public life, ao4 add yet further tothat repu: tation. It is stated in several of- the' papers of the day, that the Hon. Edward Stanly designs removing to California, where he proposes to practice hia profession. ; We trust that thi ru mor may be unfounded. North Carolina can not afford to Jose fidward Stanly.
