SATURDAY MORNING, JAN. 10, 1167.
THE DEMOCRACY IN THE CUL
VERTEDUCATION &a, Ac
The monotoojr of this dall nod Deraoe ratio
Legialatarw was reliered bj quite a spirited
disc union which sprang up on a message re
ceived by the Senate from the House of
Commons, on Wednesdsj, proposing to go
into an election of fire Trustees of the
University of this 8tate. Tha proceedings
are reported in to-day's issue, and to them
we, refer the reader for the particulars of
the discussion, contenting ourself with some
general comments on the subject pending,
and tha derelopments elicited bj the de
bate. For a day or tw.) prior te Wed
nesday, it bad been rumered that the De
mocrats of the : Legislature had held a
close and secret eauenj, at which thej had
selected the indiridusla le be roted for, and
of course, elected Trustees of the Universi
ty, and voted for and elected, too, on the
score of Democracy, thus muddying what
should be the pure stream of education and
knowledge, with the mire and filth of party
politics. Early in the debate, that old wheel
borse of Whiggery and Americanism, Gen I
Tiocksry, charged this fact home upon the
Democracy, and as it was-not denied by the
speaker u that side of the chamber, there
can be no doubt of the truth of the charge
. ... . .
no doubt that another . most important
and om'nous step has bee a taken towards
fixing upon . what is now the minority par
ty of this State as grinding a tyranny un
der the forms of Lav as can be well conceived
of.' Banks, Treasury, Education every thing
is now in the hsnds of a . party whose motto
is. "we are the Saints of ifie earth, and the
earth and the fulness ess thereof be
long to the Saints.xHn Gen.. Docker
we inquire what the Democracy means to do
with this exolueire party control which they
propose taking over the Unirersity 1 are the
sons of Americans aod Whigs, and all who
ill not bow the knee to the Baal of Looofoco-
ism,tobe deprived of the honors of an institu
tion owwed by the State ? It would seem so,
and therefore we suggest that as Students at
the Unirersity are to be trained up in the De-
moc ratio way they should go, a Professorship
of Democracy should at onoe be established,
and a corresponding Degree of P. L. P. Pro
ficient in Loco Focoism, be instituted- But
the mode resorted to for fixing the triggers
for this election of Democratic Trustees can
not but strike the well-informed and reflect
ing reader as one of the curie os things ef
this curious day and generation.. . It was
done in as regular "a CtJperf " as "Sam"
erer went in or out of, and it was done in the
night and in secret. Where now the male
diet ions on "midnight assassins," with their
"stilletos" and "dark lanterns J" 1 Hare the
Democracy, after blistering their lips with
foul and false charges against men as' good
and true, as inseparably connected with the
interests, the property, rights, liberties and
happiness of this country as any within its
borders, resorted te modes -eud de vices which
they bat the other day' charged upon the
American party as unworthy of them, and
dangerous to the eountr? t. ,' ,
- 3 be Democracy of this . Legislature hare
no reason or excuse for secret caucuses . If
they mean to "play fair.1 If the party are
a party of any other principle, but that of
plunder and spoils, they sao .carry their ends
in the broad light of day. But we mnch
fear that the Democracy are not 'a party of
any other principle but'tbatjof plunder aid
spoils, and that there are ' among them so
many who are snuffiing at any thing looking
like) oi , that they are , when by themselves
a rery unruly set, and that nothing but the
cracks of the "whippers in'! can discipline
them so as to make, ttem behave 'properly
"afore folks." r Z'i.-VV- i .
' Dot this debate ia the Senate on Wednes
day elicited something more than proof of
Democratic inconsistency it testified meet
bundantly to Democratic impudence for
what other party on the broad earth but the
Democratic, would bare the unmitigated ef
frontery to charge upon the handful of Amer
icans and. Whigs in the Legislature, respon
sibility for the shemefal delay in the des
patch of the publio business, which has char
acterised this session and excited the murmurs
of an abased people! In the name of peace,
what is it that the Democracy will not try
next f That they 'll claim that they hare
squared the circle there ean be no doubt,
and if they were to tell us that they had
succeeded in staffing the ssaor into the minor,
we ebenld net feel aa emotion, for they de
CITT OF
1 something rery like this, when they make
the swaor- party ia the Legislature responsi
ble for the course of the body. This attempt
was folly met and exposed by our friends in
the Senate, and the bloated msjority took
nothing by their bill." Because some minor
ity Senators went home at the Christmas
holidays on Uavt of absence because the
opeaxer or the Donate had; for some days, to
meet "one member and adjourn to the
next day fer want of a quorum,' the aoti-de-moc
ratio party, in the body were to be- held
res pons ible for whaterer delay occurred in
the despatch of the public! business! , Can
it B9 poBsioie, mas taere is a coua m u
State, who has attained the age of ten years,
and is unable to see the egregious ' humbug
in this proposition f Who left the Senate of
North Carolina with but' the Speaker and
another member present ia its chamber en a
business day, requiring thtls aa adjournment
to. another day, in order 'to conform to the
requirements of the Constitution the publio
business lagging all the while Who, by be
ing themselves present, could hare of them-
selres formed a quorum and despatched bu
siness t Who rare these' "leares of absence.
! - - . i - - i i : i i i'
and who had "authorty 'to refute them, and
thus with the interval , of Christmas day,
tllowed usually as a holidsy to erery body-
keep legislation constantly, oa . the r morel
Who were the party, that by a nearly party
rote, postponed the consideration . of the
Greensboro ogb. and Danville Raiiroad Char
ter from Wednesday until Thursdsy V Lsst-
y, of what party was the Speaker, who ruled
that the amendment mored by Mr. Thomas,
of Davidson, that the five gentlemen who re
cei red the largest rote on the last ballot,
should be nominees for the trusteeehips, was
not in order t ' We want these questions pon
dered on by men who hare not repudiated
the idea that one can see in the grindstone
as far as the man who pecks it. The pro
ceedings will show that the anti-democratic
side of the chamber was nobly vindicated by
Senators Dock try, Poole, Cherry, Wiggins
and Thomas.
It will be seen from the proceedings in an
other column that the same question was de
bated in the House of Commons. Mr. Fere-
bee alluded to the action of the Democratic
caucus and proceeded to enlarge upon it but
was called te order by Mr. Badham. It will
be seen also that the eleotion was proceeded
with and the fire nominees of the Democratic
canons were elected.
"STILL HARPING ON MY DAUGH
TER. The Raleigh Standard, wilfully shutting
its eyes to the manifold short-comings of its
own party in this Legislature, is trying every
device to "haloo fire' in some other quarter.
to divert attention lrom a lire whioh its own
party and itself have kindled, and which
threatens to consume all that is valuable in
this State and country. The "party" and
the Standard "fiddle over the "spoils,' and
the latter hesitates not to boast of its ut
ter ability to pay "three and a half cents'
for one copy of Mr. Rayner's speech, if the
Standard will gratify ns by acoepting them,
we will send it two eopiees of Mr. Kayner's
speech, and thus it will be saved just 7 cents.
Our contemporary cannot be otherwise than
grateful to as, out we frankly tell him his
device to take publio attention from, that
party and its doings, in which, and by whish,
he "lives, moves, and has his being, is just
the most decided case of "no go" that has
been witnessed , in many moons past. We
tell our contemporary it can't be done, aid
that it is "love's labor lost" for him to try to
do it. Having the power, Mr. Standard,
you, and yours must and shall take the re
sponsibility, or give up the helm and go be
low, surrendering your stations to those who
can sail the ship without danger of storm or
wreck.' We understand one another.'. Yov
know that Mr. Rayner is not an abolitionist,
and has st least as many reasons to lore the
South as yourself and those who ia haste te
accomplish a party object hesitated not to
proclaim to the "New York Tvilune" and its
confederates that in Mr. Rayner, they had a
large slaveholding advocate -cf their destruc
tive doctrines and devilish machinations. !
You do know this, and yon knovb, that you
do know it. There is ano ther thing, neigh
bor, that yon know, for we shall not pre
suppose you so ignorant -as not to know it,
that the American part j and the American
press, which you charge w ith endorsing Mr
Rsyner's Philadelphia speech," have no more
than yourself endorsed! it . This they hare
not done, and as far aa we know Mr. Rayner .
did not expect them tx do ao. Bat this they
have done and this triy toit'l do endorse the
purity of Mr.' Rayner's rootives in making
that speech, and sand by to vindicate him
from the opprobious," vindictive and unjust
charges made ag ainst him for party purposes
by the famous fake County meeting. You.
know too, Mr. Stand ard, that Mr. Rayner's
Philadelphia speech was "his own and Jjol
the speech of any ps xty. ",." ,-
