Under the circumstances, it would be a pity to sue and make lum pay lor ev ery libel he writes and publishes. We heard it before somewhere or other. could not have been used in the Whig State Convention. And if I should assert that it was uttered in the Democratic Con vention at Raleigh, where their chairman had so much to say about decency and or der, young Macon would say that it is a vile VV hig he. J herefore we will not ir mate tne reelings ot tins amiable young man by nikingsuch a declaration. Though we are comment that we have heard the word before, or seen it in print before it was used in the Y hig meeting in Greensboro.7 For be it known to the editor, young Ma con and the rest of mankind that we take especial pride in owning the fact that there were tome very hot find heavy denuncia tioiis leveled at and poured out upon the heads ot some or the elite of ihe great De mocraiic party .in our late meeting. But ustice requires me to say that those who were so innominate as to receive the great er portion of the denunciations alluded to were not delegates to the Democratic Con vention, but members of the last Legisla ture. And it should not be forgotten at this point that it was the Yankee editor of the Goldsboro' Republican that first called the attention of the public to the stticeritu and fidelity oj these gentlemen as regards their movements on the Convention question. And most heartily do we thank the editors ot the lxepublican and Standard for the explanation that they have given to the public as to the motives that prompted these worthies to act so hypocritically to wards their constituents, as they have and' are still doing. Every friend of truth and justice in the State, is under obligations to these editors for exposing the double han ded game that the democracy of the west is playing upon the Convention question. And if every freeman does not feel under obligations to those who denounced these political jugglers, we know that there were some present who were gratified to see and hear the handsome manner in which these little beacon lights of the pro gressive party caught it, and 1 have no doubt but what many a patriotic heart res ponded with amen, while the work went bravely on. True, it was rough food, and I have no doubt but it sat heavily upon the delicate stomachs of some present. But we guess they will have to grin and bear it with as much patience as possible, for I incline to the opinion that." they have not heard even the beginning 3 t. Can it be possible that Macon and the Editor of the Standard think that they will be permitted toact in the hypocritical and deceitful man ner that they acknowledge they have done and escape denunciation. If they" do,'' all we have to say is, we think that (hey wil find that they are mistaken. When such persons as young Macon takes the field and grow old enough to denounce a res pectable party as traitors to their country so soon as they ue broken away from their mother s apron-si rings, or accidentally wandered out of their native county, we thinkit is hign time for the .'Whigs- to re turn their compliments with compound in terest oil the heads of all such delinquents in the ranks of their enemies. We have no doubt but what there are men in this county who would if they could stifle the press and hush the voice of every Whig in it. jjut they have not vet got power e- nough to accomplish their, desires in this respect. And while we have the liberty. I hope we will not be wanting in nerve to denounce wnh vigor and expose with zeal all the corruptions and double dealings of these nice and accomplished icire working tacticians oj the L,ocofocos.' But we will conclude this hasty scrawl by remarking that the insinuations made by Macon, in the last Standard, that the rhigs of this county are uibounng to establish the while basis per se is a foul, base and infamous slander, a gross libel upon the county of (jruiilordas ever has been published in the columns of the Standard, from the pen of young Macon or any other of her defam- ers. 1 I lie people of the W est go for a- mending th-j constitution by a convention because they believe it the cheapest and most expedient mode of effecting that ob ject, and for politicians who have delerm ed to make the Constitution a foot-ball for for their own benefit and aggrandizement. And no one knows better than W. W. Houlen that these are the main object that the Whigs have in view in calling a Con vention. And fearing the results if the question now at issue between the two par ties were fairly put, he and his accom plished corps of correspondents have deter mined to resort, as is usual to misrepresen taticn especially of the Whigs of this county We hope, therefore, that none of our eastern friends will be at all. alarm ed lfthey should hereafter read a. great deal about the white basis in the Standard. We assure them that the while - basis for the appointment of .members in the Legis lature never has or Avill be advocated in this county unless it is done by one of the THE FIRST DISCUSSION. Among the many accounts published of discussions between the candidates for Gov ernor, one strong point made by Mr. Kerr upon Governor Reid, has always been conspicuous, and is deserving of the most, serious attention of our people in this Sou thern State of North Carolina. Wo al lude to the manner in which Gov. R. is Constitution in the State legislature, I might ask Mr. K. why he did not propose them? (Laughter by'the .Whigs.) The reason why I did not (said tne Governor) propose Free Suffrage while 1 was in the Legislature, was, that" I was not in the right place." Air Kerr. "Then, Governor, if you were not in the proper place .'-while in the legislature to propose it, the Legislature "rry W-, Z , J.mW i he amendment!

"During the discussion at Greenville be tween Gov. Reid and Mr. Kerr, his "ex cellency" at one point lost his temper, and acted very foolishly, as all men do when they lose their tempe. This was when Mr. Kerr was commenting upon the vote of the Governor, whilst he was in Congress for the Oregon bill, with the clause inter dict! ng slavery in. that territory the same that is now known as the "Hilmot Provi so. -: ": :c Mr. Kerr gave the history of that bill showed how the South had struggled for years to keep the Proviso out of it how it passed the House twice," both times Gov. Reid voting for it how it was twice defeated in the Senate and how finally it passed 'he Senate, two Soul hern Senators, Messrs. Benton and Houston, voting for it. He showed how .'Mr. Burt tried to extract the stjng from the Proviso as incorporated into the bill, by offering an amendment de claring that the Proviso Was put into the bill because the territory lay North of the Missouri Compromise line; but that the North voted down this amendment, and proclaimed that they would have the na ked Proviso m order forever to establish ihe poWerof Congress to prohibit Slavery in the territories. It was under these cir- umstances and after these proceedings that Gov. Reid voted for the bill wirh the Jroviso in it. "Now, said Mr. Kerr, I do not mean to charge Gov. Reid with being a Free Soiler or Abolitionist; but that was a vole which, under ihe circumstance, no. South ern man should have given. Had I been a member nf the House I would have wa ded to my arm pits in blood; I would lave suue.ed death m .any form it, could have been presented, before 1 would have given that vote. . ; "Gov.

(Tre mendous applause. ) Uno the Tariff, Mr. Reid in the course of his remarks said, that-' Democrats-" had ever held the propriety of raising a revenue upon (( valorem principles," and were always in favor of a "rigid coiistructioli of the Cuibttuiion."

And why was Oregon witnout a government? Be cause the North insisted that she should not have it, unless it were coupled with a galling insult to the Soul 1 1. And why was Gov. Reid so very anxious to give Or egon n government on terms so humilia ting te the people of his section?'"".. There was not probably, a Southern man in the whole 'territory.'.

Gov. Reid said, "Why did you not pro pose to abohah the propert3r qualification?" ( Treiner.dous applause for Mr. Kerr.) Gov. Reid also said that "with the same propriety that Mr. Kerr asked me why I did not propose the amendments to the Exaggeration. If there be any man nerism that is universal among mankind, it is that of coloring too hifrhh' the .things we describe. We cannot be -content with a simple relation of truth: we must exagge " ate; we must have 'a little toe rnuch red in the brush.' Who ever heard of a dtirk night that was not 'pitch dark:' of a stout man who was not 'as strong as a horse? on a miry road that was not 'up to fhe. knee?" We w ould walk 'fifty 'miles on loot' to see that man who never carricattires a .subject", on which he speaks. But where is sucli a man to be found? 'From rosy morn to dewy eve,' in our conversation, we are con stantly outraging truth. If somewhat' wake' ful in the night 'we scarcely had a wink of sleep; if our sleeves got a little damp in a shower, we are 'as wet if dragged through a brook;- if a breeze blows up while we are 'in the chops of the channel,' the waves are sure to 'run mountains high;' and if a man grows rich, we all say he 'rolls in money.' No later than yesterday, a friend, who w ould shrink from Wilful misrepresentation, told us hastily as he passed, that the 'newspaper had nothing in it but advertisements.' injustice upon section of the State, by throwing the legis lative control over property, land and slaves, into the hands of people who own compar atively no property, -and pay only a poll tax.
