It would have been well, we think, for Mr. Keitt to bare told ' his readers in what direction to look for this Na tional Democratic puty, in which tome confidence" is to be reposed.. For one, we would as soon undertake to find the man in the moon, and put "iooie confidence" in him, as to find the "National Democratic arty." It is a myth. Too could no more put your hand upon it, than upon Jack o Lantern. Over swamp, brake, and thicket, you would follow, bat never would yoa get an inch nearer the object of your pursuit. In the Norhweat, yoa would find people calling themselves "National Democrat" clamorous for Freesoil, Internal - Improvements, end everything else that the1 "National Demo crats of tbs iratb clamor . agiin.t. In Pennsylvania, yoa fiud the "National Demo crata of that Sjo Unt upon Frtt Kansas, Protective Tar&s, and j 'at such a oonstruo tionof the Federal .Constitotioo,.ai will suit Pennsjlv-niis interest. Of these Nation al Democra t" James Baohsoan is the bead aad front. We see, then, how u'terly fruit iest U Mr. Keitt' advice to have "soae con fidence" la what has no exietoace. The ad viae is about as rational as .would be the (rescn'ptieo by a phyaiciao, of thd essence of moonshine far the cure of tho gout or cbolic. Sack an caserne doesn't exist, and no more does a National Democratic party. The Talae of the Democracy, as guardians of Southern Rights, has been tested again,' and again, and found to be ju-tt no vaUe at all. At this moment, and in this very State , we see the Democratic press endeavoring to hunt down the Hon. Mr. Parrear, and for what? Because, oo solemn con notions of j duty, he Toted against the Kansas-Nebraska Bdl, beean.se he honestly believed that it was a Creek horse ; that to far from being a measure for the South, it was a measure -genu the South, inasmuch as it would in crease the pack of the hell-hounds of Aboli tion, and set them oa the track of the South with more fury and ferocity than ever. And bow, we ask, triumphantly and defiantly, who was right, Mr. Poryear, or his denunciators? Gentlemen of the DemoTatie p'reas, and more especially, neighbor of the Standard, will yoa do as the favor to answer this question We should like to see you do it, upon our word we would. Bat you won't -we know you won't., Yoa won't tell your readers that Mr. Poryear was right ; that he had a prophetic eye ; that th'ngs have turned out as he predicted; that the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise his proved the Greek horse, with its belly full ot armed men to beleaguer the citadel of the South.v They won't tell them that Mr. Puryear'e prophesy is now in a eourse of certain fulfilment ; that a "National Democratic Governor, appoint ed by a "National Democratic" President, is making eSorts sore to succeed, to mike Kansas a free State, and Hot he it doing so vit A tit cordial approbation of ,Ir. u ctA, sc.totr election iris to' giee security to ike South, by knocking her Freesoil and Abolition enemies into kingdom coaie. ! May sot Mr. Puy ear turn upon his arsail antj, and ask them to point out the fruits of the repeal of the Musoun Compromise, aad of Mr. Buohanans election subsequently t Can they answer such langaage as this? "The Missouri Compromise has been repealed, and there are tea Abolitionists . now to one that ; tura within tha charmed circle of tbe Sa existed before.

The result is well known.. The people endorsed the ministry, and this the principle of representative gov ernment was admirably: illustrated. So it wa in monarchical Britain ! . Lut here in de mocratic America, the very ciiadel of popu lar tighia, a partj democratic par excellence, are proving their "faith' by the Teiy consis tent "wcrk f absolving the Chief Magis trate of the Natio'n from all responsibility IlEECTIOX OF THE CIlATtTER OF1 THE I1ANK OF THE STATE." In our lat issue, we ' had barely time to state the fact, that the Stockholders of "the Bank of tbe State," hd by a large rote, re jected the charter passed by the last Legis lature. ' . " P -We do not intend now, to enter at. large into the considerations of this important qoMtion. Tho deciuon of those most imme diate! j, and ' personally, interested . in tbe choice of rejecting or ncoeptinp; the charter, was we are aare, arriced at after most calm and natnre jleKbcritioa, and after dae .re. flection on the effect of their actibn on the State at large, as welt as their own personal and private stake in the institution The purpose of this paragraph, is to show that fears of a pecuniary pressure in the State, induced by tbe rejection of the charter, are, in out opinion, groundleso. In the first place, the condition of the Bairk is such as to pre- elude any necessity for s? prompt a caUing in of its debts and circulation, as would make a ' pressure, "and the public . have : iu the character of those entrusted with the man agement ' of the -Bank, an '.ample' guaran tee, that its winding up, if wind , op it does, will be effected so as to do the' least possible injury to any interest, public or private, in volved in it. In the second place, the Bank has. 23 years in which to wind.Vp, and itls reasonably to ' be expected, 4 that If .it is the destiny of this Bank to go out of existence, the Legislature will grant a charter to anoth er institution, which will supply the place of the present Bank; of the State, and thus pre vent financial difficulties. , ! We mention these things now, in order to prevent apprehension at . home, and misap prehension abroad. " ' ' ; & THE VvEATlTRR. , Chronicles of tho weather are worth some thing more, than' the filling up ' of space in newspapers this year.

With muoh regret, 1 fiad myself again 'ompelled, by ciroumtanoes beyond my coo- rol, to make a calm and dispassion-ire state- .ient, in relation to a matter xaoi important o me persona1 ly, than to any one elss. 1 The repeated and grossly offensive articles con cerning me whioh have recently appeared in he Fayetteville Observer, are well known - o those who u I addxs. They were of a 'character so insaltin, as to leave me only he alternative of tamely submiltinglo them, md thoreby acknowledging the j a stioe of tho charges male against me, or of seeking tbe redress usual among, gentlemen who never intentionally give an insult, without the par pose of rendering satisfaction ' for it to tho insulted party. The latter! aouM I choso to pursue, and its result was' ma la known to the public in the Register'' of tha 13th Jane'. Not only was redress of any kind denied me, but the insults of which I so justly compl ain ed, were declared to be fully warranted.-- Nor did the matter stop here, for on the ICth f June, there appeared in the "Fayetteville )bserver" a long artie'e, levelling at mi the grossest personal abuse which malignity could tuggest, and which ever appeared in a news- taper circulated in a decant, and eiriliz 3d community. In that article, a party whom. had not bel eved to be tha auth jr of, and '.herefore responsible for, the insults of which I complaiaed, declared his respousib'lity for he offensive articles. On seeing this article, iny'oourse was obvious, and promptly taken, is the annexed publication will show. ' From this publication, the community will learn the standard of morals, hanot, aud d?cency, by which tha actions of Mr. .PUTER M. HALE, Junior Editor of the Fayetteville Observer, are regulated. I will not insult he intelligence of the oommunity by draw ing for them deduotions so obvious to every person possessed of a particle of honor and manliness. In placing this case before tho pablio, I 'have nothing extenuated, nor set . down iught in malice," but have made "a plain, invarnuhed" statement of tho ground of tha inly appeal I can now - make an appeal to tha calm and impartial judgment of an en lightened public. - ' JOHN W.
