" WMIIIWb
TVliigs of the Ninth. District.
We are again called jupon to elect a Repre
sentative to the next Congress. Col. Outlaw,
who has so gallantly sustained the principles
of the great Whig party, is opposed by one,
for whose success every effort will be made,
and no trick, cunning Or contrivance be left
untried. Under these circumstances, crimin
al negligence and careless lethargy are inex
cusable. Our duty to our country, as well as
to ourselves, demands that we should act.
Remember, that once
oui inactivity and too
we were beaten, by
great reliance upon
!. that that foul stain
supposed security; and
upon the purity of our J escutcheon, so glori
ously wiped off in the next struggle, is again
threatened. : While our friends throughout
the State look with anxious solicitude upon
I the present contest, they feel confident that
we shall not prove recreant to duty, and shall
make the exertion requisite to success. They
hail our name1 as surely and uncompromisin
Whig, and-rest bright hopes upon their faith
in our promptness to obey the calls of our
country. ji
If we allow this District to send a Demo
cratic Representative to the next Congress, it
may give a majority to that party in the lower
House. At this time especially are we called
upon to exert ourselves.! To be content with
one victory is characteristic of our party to
rest as soon as the con test' is over, and take
so little advantage of a triumph that it proves
an ultimate defeat. In the late Presidential
contest our success was complete, We saw
the country in the road to ruin and that, by
the bungling hand of a President untaught in
the intricate science of government, and men
tally unable to meet the difficult duties of
his station, w were engaged in troubles
fraught with much inevitable evil, unless
touched by some master j hand. We knew
that a crisis had come upon which depended !
our glory, greatness and prosperity to an
alarming extent; and with a determination,
so seldom exerted by us J proclaimed that a
hero, a patriot, a sage and a Whig should be
at the head of the nation.i And now, lulled
in the fancied security with which his name
inspires all, we are too prone to believe, that
there is no pressing necessity for extraordina
ry exertion. But consider, for a moment,
how dangerous' to suppose this escape from
the ills of mis-rule compllete. Though that
giant spirit, with his manifold wisdom and
goodness, sits chiet ot the Councils, as of the
anections ot his country.
"Charged by the people's
unbouht grace,
To rule his native land,"
yet our form of government enables him
to
exert but a circumscribed
influence,
upon
the tenor of her policy. ?Tis true he holds
the checks and ballance'; but to control the
deliberation, to direct the aims and shape the
ends of the National Legislature, by his wis
dom and judgment, is beyond the power in
vested in him by the Constitution. To gain
the benefits of the late triumph, we must
place men in the Legislativ councils, whose
principles are such as we wjuld wish to char
acterize the policy of the government. Our

posing the House of Representatives of men,
who will lay themselves across the path of
our great and honored leadej-, to be "as thorns
in his side," and insurmountable obstructions
to his efforts for good. Place a Democratic
majority in the lower House; and all the ef
forts of the Executive will fall useless to the
earth, while the spirit of discord, feeding on
the burning elements of disappointment and
revenue, will' fctalk widely (abroad and deal

midst, and the dancers which threaten from
abroad, will vanish like the mist of morning,
and peace With her benignant smile, and
prosperous plenty with her well filled horn,
will hover over and bless a wise and iustice
loving peoplg. ;
All this may depend on the election now
in our hankls. Virginiahas dishonorably de
sertedlhe flag under which she lately fought
so bravely, and caused much distrust and fear
for the complexion of the next Congress.
North Carolina is now to give her voice. The
Whigs of the Union are looking upon her

raise the banner of freedom.- May she be
among the proudest of its preservers ! The

Every section
of the State feels the responsibility, and is
determined to do its part. All look with con

ofthe Ninth District. jLet us show that for
our part, we are here and trae. Let every
man go to the ballot box, and show the op
posing Democratic cannidate, jthat it is but a
giddy freak of youthful folly td rely upon the
lethargy of 80imd-hearteid Whigs, when their

The Double Face Game.
We want every honest, unprejudiced De
mocrat in the 9th Congressional District, and
i in fact in the State of North Carolina, (if it
were possible) to read the SECRET Citf-
CULAR of the Democratic party in, tne-oi
of Indiana, to be found , in our paper to-day.
It is decidedly the cap sheet of all fraud,
wire-working and deep laid scheming that
we have ever laid eyes upon. Last year, aa
will be seen they, were one thing and this
year they are another last year they had
one set of fraudulent resolutions and this year
they have, another last year ,they were
(professedly) with the Southbut now they
are bitterly against her. x - i .
If any Southern Democrat can, after read
ing these resolutions countenance such men
and such proceedings for the purpose of
breaking down an Administration brought
into power by the majority of the freemen
of this country, he deserves the utter con
tempt of every true Southerner.
We hope the Whigs of this District at the
coming Election will show to these unprin
cipled Northern traitors that they may lay
their wires for the State of Indiana, but that
their foul breath can have5 no influence to
dampen the ardor of the true Whigs of the
Old North State. Already in Connecticut,
Ohio and Vermont have the Abolitionists
and Democrats united (what a jolly set) to
break down the Administration of Qen. Tay
lor and in the last Election succeeded in
getting out of the Whig ranks from Connec
ticut some three members of Congress. In
New York also we see that the true Demo
crats (as they styled themselves) " are about
forming a league with . the Abolitionists for
the same purpose. We refer to the Old
Hunkers and Barn Burners, one party sup
porting Gen. Cass, the true Democratic can
didate, and the other Mr. Van. Buren, anoth-.
er true Democrat, but run as the Presidential
candidate and supported by the Abolitionists
of the United States. Thus .we see that the
Democratic party are completely desperate,
and will do every thing in their . power to
stop the wheels of Government. They want
the majority in the House of Representatives
and nothing will be left unturned by them
that can be attained by the sacrificing of ev
ery principle once professed by the party ;
no trick so mean, no fraud so debased but
what they would jump at it, if they thought
they could further their party ends. But
they may unite and form, and if need be,
charge upon the Administration of Gen. Tay
lor, but they will find him, as Santa Anna
found him upon the battle field of Buena
Vista, both ready and prepared to repel the
attack and maintain his ground, and we
doubt not but what the good old State of
North Carolina will have her six strong and
good Whigs in their places to give him their
aid and talent in the management of this
great Country. But we cannot believe, as
bad as the loco foco party are that any true
Southern Democrat will countenance the In
diana proceedings. We hope for the honor
of the Old North State that there is not one
of her sons who would be found so recreant
to his State, to his country and above ail to
his God as to hold with these black hearted
Northern traitors. The Resolutions can be
found at the bottom of the article taken from
the Raleigh Times.

APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT.

lina, vice William D. Pritchard, removed.
John D. Whitford, Newbern, North Caroli
na, vice Thomas S. Singleton, resigned.
Oliver York, Stonington, Connecticut, vice

From the above it will be seen thatjeorge
W. Charles, Esq., of this place, has been ap
pointed Collector of the Customs for the Dis
trict of Camden. A better selection, in our
opinion, could not have been made, as Air.
Charles is well known to our citizens, and
was turned out of office because his political
opinions did not suit the Polk Administration.
No doubt his reinstatement will give pleasure
to some of his Currituck friends who strove so
hard to have him beheaded some 4 years ago.
ULMU
THE BARNBURNERS AND OLD HUN
KERS FRATERNIZING.
The two sections of the party in New York
are about to bury the hatchet. M. B. F. But
ler opened the negotiation in New Y'ork city,
on the part of the Barnburners, by - offering
resolutions, declaring their opposition to the
Administration of Gen. Taylor, their great in
dignation at his not keeping every Locofoco
in office whom he found in, and resolving,
that a union of the party was necessary that
this business of turning out Locofocos might
be stopped.
The proposition of Mr. Butler was cordially
approved by the Barnburners elsewhere, and
has been responded to by the Old Hunkers.
The State Central Committee representing
the latter, have issued a circular, in which
they suggest, that the Central Committees of
the Barnburners and Old Hunkers should
agree to recommend, that one delegate from
each organization be selected in each assem
bly district, to meet in separate bodies at
Rome, on the fifteenth of August next for the
purpose of consulting and devising means of
union; and, if it shall be deemed expedient
to meet in joint convention, and' suggest
names for an union ticket for State officers."
Of course the proposition will be acceded to
and the union consummated.
Now what will be the action of the party
elsewhere, when they see that in New York
the great question which divided them in the
election of 1848, has been surrendered by the
one side or the other, arid a union effected
between them merely to oppose Gen. Taylor's
administration? What will the South say?
Will they agree that the men, who fraternize
with these "free soil democrats' whose daily
and hourly talk is about the iniquities of the
peculiar institutions , of the South, and who
have sought every, and lost no opportunity to
inflame the passions of the people of the
North against the people of the South will
the Southern Locofocos anree to rpcp-'wa
these free soil men into the ranks, to share
their counsels and to be controlled by their
decisions? Veneed not ask what will Mr.,
Senator Foote say, for, though he has assum
ed the- championship, he will scarcely have
it allowed; and besides he "gravely intimated
in the Senate, that the people of his . State
were fond of hanging, and would be likely to
indulge their liking if a free soiler strayed off
mere.
But we ask, will the leaders of the party at
the South, those who were most indignant in
opposing the course of their free soil brethren
in New York, will they still refuse all com
munion with Mr. Van Buren and his follow-
ers,
and persist in denouncing them, and
consider a union of them as a sacrifice of all
the principles, to support which the party was
formed? We shall' see.
. ' . Bait. Patriot.
When this Administration came into
power there was not a Whig in the thirty For
eign Missions maintained by the United
States; not a Whig filling tlie office of Marshal,
District Attorney, Collector , Naval Officer, In
spector, Receiver of Republic Moneys, Register,
fyc ; not a Whig filling a Post Office the emolu
ments of which were worthy the attention of a
Democratic partisan, certainly not filling an
office of the class which requires the in
cumbent to pass the ordeal of the Senate.
At Washington, two Auditors, whose
whole adult lives have been spent in of
fice, and whose knowledge of the peculiar
duties of their bureaus rendered their re
tention desirable, have been successively
spared by Jackson, Van Buren and Polk,
as monuments of Democratic liberality,
though, in fact, constituting, under the
circumstances, exceptions which go to
prove that proscription is the rule. A few
subordinate clerks, useful in their respec
tive spheres, and malicfously called Whigs
by those who wised to get their places,
escaped also the hurricane. The last and
least of Democratic Presidents turned out
every Whig he could, and his worst ene
mies, among his own party cannot accuse
him of ever appointing one to an office
which a Democrat could be found to fill.
Speaking generally, we may say, with
truth, that all the officers of the country
were considered as beyond the reach of
the Whigs, as much so as if they were
constitutionally ineligible.! A Whig would
have stood a better chanqe of receiving
an Executive appointment at the hands of
the :Lmperor of Russia or the Grand Sul
an than at the hands of James K. Polk,
the President of the Democratic Party.

Free Soil The "Free Democ
racy." Desertion of the
South ! !
It is 'known, and has been for-some
months past, (and we have from time to
time called public attention to the fact,)
that the entire Democracy of the Northern
States are uniting upoii the subject of
Free Soil and putting a stop tothe farther
extension of Slavery by imposing the
VVilmot (or as Benton- calls it, the Cal
houn) Proviso onjiirthe newly acquired
Territory. The" united Democracy of
Ne.w HamnshW Ynrmnnt rVmnnrtinit
Ohio, Michigan and Wiscosin have lately
erected a Platform, embracing substantially
the following cardinal positions as the
groundwork of their future action :
1. No more Slave Territory or Slave
States. '
2. The abolition of Slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
3. The extension of the WHlrriot Pro
viso over the Territories of New Mexico
and California. rv
4. Equal su fferage for men of all colors.
In New York, the union between the
sections of the Democracy -the Old Hun
kers and Barnburners is not yet com
plete, but approximating rapidly towards
consummation, as may be seen by the
leading articles of the Albany Argus and
Albany Atlas, the Organs
ofthe respec -
live wings. For
instance, the Argus oi
Saturday week holds
the following lan-
mf
guage, which Is only one
of its
many
overtures for reconciliation :
We repeat, whenever the press and
its-managers here which profess, but have
failed to practise reconciliation, should
proffer, or signify an acceptance of any
lair proposition for harmony, it will be
met, not in terms of derision, but in good
faith and in a right spirit."
On the Monday following we find this
sentenne quoted in the Atlas, accompa
nied; with these remarks : :
"We are pleased to see this unwilling
approach to a concurrence in the demand
for Democratic union on the part of the
Argtts. The modes of the union are not
wanting. Not only the suggestions of
friend's are before us, but the example of
States. In Vermont and Wisconsin we
have seen that the alienated sections of
the Democracy have 'like kindred drops
been mingled into one.' '
In subsequent papers the subject is far
ther discussed, and in such a spirit as to
show that a formal union will be effected
during the corning summer, upon the
basis, mainly, of the Buffalo platform.
This desertion of the South by the "North
era Allies" has therefore) become too true
to admit of doubt or question, and must
henceforth be regarded as a ''fixed fact."
Let our Southern Democratic friends
examine the planks of this new political
Platform; let them recollect that upon it
the Locofocos obtained a majority at the
last Connecticut election, where the trW
umph of Free Soil'Abolitionism was com
plete under the auspices of the Connecti
cut Democracy; let' them . remember that
this coaliti6n gave the Free Soil1 Party ad
increase of strength to the full am't ofthe
Connecticut representation . in Congress:
and jthen let therrt calculate what the re
sult must be tothe Southr when the
whole Northern Democratic representa
tion in Congress shall owe their-, elections
to their advocacy of the principles above
set forth, or those of the Buffalo platform
either.
Are t Southern Democrats willing to
support and be controlled and governed
by the creed of this unfraternal coalition
against the South? We have too much
cause to fear it. These "Allies'-' have
evidently sold Democracy to the Free
Soil faction, and Southern Democrats will
be transfered in the bargain; and go they
! must. "Free Democracy" is now the
talisman-ic name, and "Free Soil" the
rallying cry: it is something akin here: it
is "freehand equal suffrage" here: they
have not added "for men of all colors"
yet: but they are still Democrats, Red
Republicans, Locofocos--" to the victors
belong the spoils" -and we fear they will
still act with their faithless "Allies."
Why do we fear it? Because we see
the Democratic; press ofthe South rejoice
when they hear of victories the effect of
which is to establish these principles: be
cause we see them quiescent in this matter;
raising no warning voice; sounding no
note of alarm; sleeping amid the agitation
of a subject which their great Apostle de
clared always rang in his ears like l:a fire
bell in the nighty' and completely compla
cently encouraging and approving the
course of Father Ritchie, who panders to
this Free Soihspirit by taking in an Abo
litionist as associate Editor of the Union.
But let Southern Democrats look" at
these "Northern principles?" Do they in
deed belong to the Democratic creed? Is
it a Democratic principle to abolish Slavery
in the District of Columbia? to admit none
but Free States?:to extend the Wilmot
Proviso over New Mexico and California?
and to confer the right of sufferage on mm
of all colors? This IS Northern Democracy
at the present day: what do Southern Demo
crats think of it? '
And yet Benton, who has lately come
out for all this, bids fair to be the Demo
cratic Free Soil candidate for the Presi
dency, antlihe Southern Democrats and
their presses will be compelled to support
him, as they were to support Cass, who
prayed for the abolition of slavery every
where. " What, then, are Democratic principles
worth? If they are anything but a strug
gle for the "spoils," why are they ever
shifting, and varying "with the difference
of latitude and the circumstances of sec
tional campaigns? Principles, to be worthi
anything, should be fixed and unalterable,
founded upon truth, applicable every
where, and thus controlling" and uniting
all who adopt them everywhere. Is it so
with the Democracy? And yet they are
always talkirfg about "principles" and
"platform!" The following specimen of
the convenience of Locofoco principles,
and removals of the planks ofthe "plat
form," we copy from the Nashville True
Whig:
Revamping "The Platform. "The
following "Secret Circular" ofthe Loco
foco Central Cpmmittee of Indiana was

CIRCULAR.
-Dear Sin : You will have received the
proceedings of the , Democratic Conven
tion of Indiana, by the ordinary channels
of information, before this reaches you,
together with the resolutions forming the
Democratic Platform for 1849. As these
differ in sorrfe respects om the plalform of
! 1S48, an explanation to a few ofthe lead-
mg Democrats ot every county is deemed
auvisaDie. iou rememoer that our plat-
! form of last year contained the following,
on the subject ol slavery :
" Resolved, That all the efforts of the
Abolitionists or others, made to induce
Congress to interfere, with questions of
slavery, or to take incipient steps in. re
lation thereto, are calculated to lead to the
most alarming and, dangerous consequen
ces, and that all such efforts have inevita
ble tendency to diminish the happiness
of the people and endanger the stability
and permanency of the Union, and ought
not to he countenanced by any friend of
our political institutions."
You have seen that we have put forth
this year the reverse of this. A very few
words of explanation will suffice. The
platform last yer was intended more especi
allyor the South, in order, if possible, to
secure southern aid in the Presidential
elction. Odious as it was in the north,
we succeeded in carrying most of the
Northern States, under the plea that the
President had little influence in such mat
ters. The platform this year is only in
tended only for Indiana, and accordingly
adapted to the sentiments of Indianians on
the subject of slavery. This is deemed
the more necessary, as Congressmen are
to be elected and the-subject will come
up in all its force, next August. One
object in this letter is to apprise you of
the necessity of selecting, at your Con
gressional ; Convention, some staunch
Democrat wliosc sentiments are Xorlfam. It
