I , Th Standard," trith its power to kill' and cke alive," is likelj to bare its bands fall V busines this jear, inasmuch as there are tamistakitl signs, that not a few of, tie Teinocracj of tbis S ate will refose to foI- low its lead m supporting' Pooglae, in. toe ettnt of bis being the Charleston nominee. Tbese Democrats will not onlj refuse to snp pcat Dongias themselves, but will bow op the Standard's ineonMitenej.ia supporting after baring bitterlj denounced him. . 'j unequivocal sign of what .the Standard dj expect may be found in the following KB'encc of aa article which appeared is the Charlotte Bulletin a few daje ago ,: "Now sL;n, snrelj the Standard will not support Mr. Douglas, entertaining and expressing Tit J as ha does, entirely at variance with the Pred Seott Case, as decided by the Supreme Court." To show that this sentence, mod- tit as It is, touched the Standard on the raw, point to its last issue which speaks of the Charlotte Bulletin as "certainly rather a Whig that a Democratic journal," charges it with kipg one of our "confreres" and in another place says : . t V wnfs w are omwhat at a loss ta under- itand the Bulletin.

'Il that i not f c us Is araint u-.: he that gathereth not Jwiih us, scattereth .ar.cvaJ." f , The Bulletin msy now see' what it has to epect, and if we bare liot much mistaken its aetal, will be fully prepared to abide the ' ttorm which-will soon rage about its ears. . If we may fay a word to one whothe Stan ' dard to the contrary notwithstanding differs from as in politics, we would say for its eo oorigement, the Standard cannot first de nounce Douglas, and next dragoon the Dem ur li it party of .Ybrfi Carolina into ' his i a 'p port if he is nam inated. , That party hare, e know, no inconsiderable powers of swal low, but we wi'l not belieTe that they will f How the lead of one who. denounced Doug li when his' position, though bad, was less re prehensible than the one which he now occn-pie-, and in fpiu of which, the Standard will auj port ttm if nominated. j . As far as the Bulletin U concerned, we art sure that it will not support Douglas, let the Standard threaten and bluster as It may, and any doubt that might be entertained on the uljet,"must be dialled by the following1 articfc in its issue of the 6th insL : J A Niw Gmi. The subjoined resolutions, lopted wcemly by the Democracy of Butler Jiity. Pennsylvania evidently intended to solve ti -.Territorial problem in iu bearings on slara p'Prty-i-laji down a r.ew plan of attack, by ig-B'-rinz entirely the commonly ar-cepted interpre tvi..n of the Karu-X-briuka Bill, inasmuch as i: 5x no special time hn the people of a Ter rfery are entitle, un Jer the pro? uions of the Conv -ituu.jw f the United Statee, to decide for thenv rive whether or not slavery ball be prohibited. Thefl Resolutions claim for Territorial sqaaiiera t:ie- right to exclude the projierty of slaTeholders-t-t:.eir negmef at ay time they may feel disposed t do s, prior to th adoption of a Suite Constitu tor!, and adoi ion into the Union as a State.

I; is ailent that the Northern wing of the Iv-uiocralio party are opr"d to the institution of 'laxery and the rights ut the slaveholders in the Trritfries, and it is much to be regretu that for th- sake of Parry triumjiAa and the spoils ol ctBce, "re"are to be found throughout the Southj advo of frty so blind to the interesU of the South, to ure co-operation with those who style them- vj Democrats at the North, but who, byj&elr r-Ues and ats, d.-mork-tra'e that they are ready " 1 willing tosacriSce the interests and righU ef f -ivi-holders, if, thereby thy can continue to con- tr -i the Uovernment and er J.j the distribution of U 'poili. . i , j tan tb Democracy of North Carolina endorse t Resolution of th Democracy of Butler coun t y.

' It will be observed that the Bulletin fully agrees with us when it says, "It is patent that the Northern wing of the Democratic party are opposed to the institution of slave- Lry, and the rights of slavebolders,in the Ter ritories.") Now, as the electoral rote of the Northern and North-western States is larger than that of the Southern and South-western,' and as this Northern andVNorth-western De- mooraev are "oDiosed to - the institution of slavery we pray the Standard to tell as what becomes of its plea that slavery must look to the Democratio party for its defence 1 But we will not.interfere in the quarrel between the Standard and the Bulletin, furth er than to bid the latter be of good cjbeer, and look for encouragement to the manly stand taken and maintained by the Warrenton News. - i , : STATE OPPOSITION COXTEXTIOX. Having been '-flying round" some since the fa vorable, result of the late electona, we have not paid that attention tf political matters that we 4 . .. . f iL i i til nave in times pnst, letting inas au was going on Mwell." But thi L not a very safe plan, we confess. "Eternal vigiUnev" is the price of success in any laudable cauv and not leas so in politics. We should learn a lemon from our opponenU in this respect. They work ail tk time. If our friends would do so too they would be much more sue cetsful. " But we commenced this article to My that we heartily approved the proposition of the Rale'gh Register to hold a State Convention of the oppo nents 'of th m.virrel administration, its apolo gists and defenders and all iu iniquitous works of extravagance, corruption and nigger agitations. The gloriHis work of political revolution so well commenced by the people at the recent elections should now b pushed forward with the energy and Zeal wjttcb has been manifested in its incipi ercy. The country is ripe for the movement.- Tree, it baa taken much to produce conviction, but it has been produced, reluctantly produced, and is only waiting an opportunity for develop ment when we shall see a general hurling from office scarcely loss decisive than that of '39 and ua. i . A proper, thorough, and efficient organization of j those conservative "Whigs, -Democrats and Americans, who are opposed to this administration and iU corruptions so that their united voices may be heard at the polls as that of one man. will sure ly and certainly di.-place the present occopanUof our gubernatorial chair and legislative halls. Ad, as a Whig, we urgeuron our friends to come forward at once, with a determination to be fofe moet, in the great work before us, and success wVl erewn our oCbrt. We have only to reach forth and grap it w hile we my. iLet us all moet in Raleigh next December t confer together and to devise ways and means for the romiii: campaign. Courts will be held in all the counties before then. Let delegates . be ap pointed who will attend. Kinsion Advocate. jTbe feeling of the Advocate is the feeling throughout the Stve. The blood of the Op position in North Carolina is up, and they wish to aci and act promptly. They see what has been done with a partial organiza tion, and in the absence of any " Executive Committee," and they are now determined to organize thoroughly, and leave no honorable means untried, to carry the State. The first Wednesday in December is an admirable time for the meeting of the Con vention. The weather at that time is gene rally fine, and it !is a convenient season of the year for the Farmers to leave home. - Between now, and that time, tbere will be a court, either county or superior, in every county, and the Opposition can avail them selves of the opportunity afforded by these courts to hold meetings, and appoint Dele gates. ' e hope large delegations will be sent, and thus let' p have a full communion of our friends. En avantls the motto of the Opposition now. ! We gave the enemy "Magenta" last Au gust, we'll give them.Solferino" next Au gust. THE KALEKill POST OFFICE." ' There is a general and well founded com plaint by the citizens of Raleigh, at the un necessary delay in the delivery of the North ern mail at thi. Post Office. This mail reach es here at half past 3 o'clock with the regu larity of clock work itself, and is not deliver ed until between half past 5 and 6 o'clock. The excuse for this delay is, that the West ern mail does'nt come until 5 o'clock, and the Postmaster chooses to deliver both mails at once. This is nothing bat an excuse, and a very lame one at that, inasmuch as the Northern mail could be easily delivered be fore the Western arrives. The Postmaster might as reasonably postpone a delivery of mail matter until "next day," and thus deliver the Northern, Western and Eastern maiis at one time, as lo withhold the delivery of the Northern mail until the Western arrires.and is ready for delivery. Business men having correspondence at the North, as they all do, could, were the mail promptly delivered, answer by return of mail without resorting to candle light. Having said this much for the public, we have a word-to sty for ourself. There are constant cotcplaint) from subscribers living at Post Offices near Raleigh, of the irregular ity in the receipt of the "Register." T ie fault vft know is not at this" office, and mu it lie at the door of the Post Office here, or X that of some route ageut on the Railroads. Georgia tor Doughs. Senator Toombs re cently made a speech in Lexington, in his State, in which he catno out boldly and emphatically in favor of Doug las for the Presidency. Indeed, he u zealously eanv&&ing for him, and denounces even Democrat, who will not yet come into the support of the Little Giant THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL AND : aUDGE DOUGLAS. .,-. We invite the attention of the Standard to the following language ef its confrert the Wilmington Jouual : - i - ' Indeed it is impossible to see how the people of the South could acquieaos in the doctrines prom ul ga'ed by Mr. Douglas in this article, without abondoning all the grounds which they have here tofore occupied with reference to tbis subject The universally recognized principle has been that any territory, when prepared for admission as a State into Ue Union, has a right tof-ame for her self such a constitution as she may please; pro vided only tha it is Republican in. character, and not contrary to the Constitution of the United States. This U an act of sovereignty which baa never been conceded to the. mere temporary ar rangement known as territorial governments, which, s wm have already shown, are wanting in many of the elemenU even of local sovereignty . having the appointment of neither of their own executive or judiciary j and being in fact but tran sit ionary arrangements Intended to meet a pecu liar state of a flairs. 'It could never have been contemplated by the framersof our system of gov- , ernment, tbat the first few settlers or squatters on the public domain, acting under a temporary char ter, could, either by a non -action or by a wrong action, exclude the citizens of any portion of the country from carrying their property to any point witbia the limiU of the particular territorial or ganization granted -to such few first settlers or squatters ; for, if they teould, the provisions in the Kansas bill, as well as those of the Constitution, as expounded by the Supreme Court, would be a jrtuai mockery. . . . l .1 TOO GOOD TO HE LOST ; Col. J , a leading and faithful Democrat in Buncombe county, who is remarkable for the teal with wbioh he looks after the lame, the blind and the bait at the ballot box- had a neighbor, who, though a strong Demo crat and a party man, had not beep out to vote in several years. The Colonel used every argument ia Lis power to get him out this time to vote for Coleman, but in vain. Determined to get him to the poll, he sets down and issues a subpoena for him, and signs it as a magistrate, commanding him to appear at the place of election on that day, to give evidence in a pretended suit. This ruse succeeded. Early iu the morning he ap peared. at the box and demanded to be exam ined, that he might go back home. ' He was laughingly told by the Colonel that there was no suit to be tried there that day, but they wanted his vote for Coleman. Imagine the .astonishment and dismay, of the Colonel, when his neighbor, and such a good Demo crat too, seized a Vance ticket, thrust it in the hat, hunted np his sons and nephews, and made them do likewise, and in short, go it for Vance with all his might and main ! The worst of it is, .that the Colonel not only over reached himself and lost votes for his man, but is strongly threatened by his said neigh bor with an indictment for a misdemeanor in office. But it will be considered in tender mercy, that the general laugh which greets him every where in' the county is punishment enough. . Mil. SMEDES' LETTER. . We take great pleasure in calling the at tention of our readers to the letter of Mr. Smedes, which will be found in to-day's pa per. It Is a most able, patriolie and conser vative production, and it's platform of prin ciples embraces every thing which a good citizen can ask. ' This is the "fix' in which we find the Editor of the Register. We sympathize with him most profoundly. We are sorry for him. We would squeeze out a tear or twoin bis behalf, if we thought it would be "iiarliamenUry. and if we did not foel that he deserves to be just in the "fix" in which we find 'him. Standard.

WHIG STATE CONVENTION. The Raleigh Register having proposed that there shall be a Whig State Convention held some time in December next, for the purpose of nom inating a candidate for Governor, and organizing for the great political contest of 1360, we notice it has met the approbation of a riimber of the Whig papers, in different parts of the. State. VV e think there can be but one opinion on the subject of a Convention ; and we know of no objection to nold- in it early. On the contrary, it is generally good policy to take the start and then take care to keep it If the right sortef a man is brought out for Governor, the people will elect him. Let us have one whose standing and character entitle him to the rrepect and confidence of voters who has done something for the good of the State, and who has the moral, intellectual and political strength fitting for the Chief Magistracy of the State, and the victory is ours. We sugcesf, to tne v bigs of Kowan to take tbis matter in baud right euxiy. Let the Whigs in each of th neighborhoods of Morgan's, Gold Hill, LitakerV, IlarkeyVAtwell's, Neely's Mill, Mt Ulta, and Salisbury, call meetings and appoint del egates to attend a County meeting to be held in this place at November Court, at which time del egate to the State Convention should be appoint ed. There are prominent and influential Whigs in each of tbeee districts, and we call on them to lead eff in this business, hold their meetings and send up their delegates at November Court , : ixilisbury Watchman.
