FT) KIJLES OF THE CONVENTION;
In reply to, the question put by the 'Newbern
Spectator," we state that, soonec than depart know
ingly from .the rules adopted by the Editorial Con
vention, jrc would forego the profit of an Advertise
inrnt -all vgclher. It is proper, however, to state
that whilst absent on a recent trip to the North,
one of the young men in this Office was induced to
aJmit anj Advertisement ; for Patent Medicines, at
less than the prescribed rates, by the exhibition to
him of a written agreement, on the part of another
Editor, to insert it for a specified sum. This is the
only iiuitajice, within our knowledge, where the
Rules of the Convention have been at all iufringed
,iit this Office ; though in consequence of a strict
adherence! to them, We have had, on several occa
sions, Advertisements taken from the Office. In
one particular instance however, au Advertisement
xtns returijicd, the bearer stating that, finding the
r rule uniform in the City,he preferred the Register,'
s the medium of publicity. S
The Fa :t . ville Observer &, HilLboro Recorder, in
allu'ling to this matter, suggest the propriety of hold
nig another Convention in,this City, during the ap
preaching Legislature. It would give us great plea
sure to welcome our biethren of all parties here, if
lViru fpl iiiclinfil to rorriH hilt. fttr the thin at.

RALEIGH & COLUMBIA RAIL ROAD.
The friends of Internal Improvement will be grat
ified to perceive from anotice in this paper, that a
sufficient number of Sharon of the Stack in this Road
has been token to secure the Charter. This Road,
f"it is i generally known, is a continuation of the great
liru of Rail Road from North to South, passing thro'
the Capitals or principal Cities of each State
We confidently rely upon the justice and liberali
ty of the Legislature, at its approaching session, for
aid in this undertaking aid which has been exten
i ed to other Roads, and aid which the State cannot
withhold, without an- evidence of illiberality and
i piniality unworthy of its character We believe
i that the State would have interested itself in the
Gaston Koadj, two years ago. but for thestrange ap
; thy or opposition of those members whose constit
' pent? were most vitally interested in its successful
'. prosecution.
"GOVERNMENT BANK."
I It will le sjeen that our Correspondent " Potato
: Custard" still endeavors to sustain his plea that
the financial policy of the Administration, in its re
conuncndaliaii of the Sub-Treasury and an issue of
Government japer, has no relation to a barking sys
tem. We see j nothing advanced iy him, of suffi
cient force to jmake us abandon our position ; on
the contrary, the more We reflect on the nature and
effects of this Executive project, the more clearly
nre we convinced that it is intended as the speedy
forerunner of a great banking institution.
; We are requested to give the specific clause, in
iht Sub Trtuhurv bit I, which authorises an issue of
promissory notes. ' If our Correspondent will review
; our preceding jremarks, he will find that we never
stated that fhis power was granted specifically by
that biil. The authority to issue Government pa
: per, under the appellation of Treasury notes, was
asked for and granted in a distinct bill ; but its con
nexion with the Sub-Treasury plan is obvious. We
represented the Sub-Treasury operation as the agen
cy by which the means were to be collected to re
deem the " promises to pay" issued from the Treas
ury. This is the light in which alone it can be con
sidered; and we leave it to candor and justice, if
these two features combined do not form a banking
process. Herej we are to see a great chartered in
stitution (we might call it a u corporation" if our
Correspondent fancies the term) adjusting its debts
in paper issues yes, in ordinary, undisguised pro
tnissnry noe--but at the same time demanding
' collection of. its receipts in Gold and Silver, as the
;medium by which to liquidate these paper issues
jor re-issuing its own notes. What boots it, that by
' this plan discounts are not allowed, or individual
deposits received ? Is not circulation the feature
"of a Bank with! which the great mass of the public
are chiefly interested? And would not the circu
lating promissory notes of, this Government estab
lishment soon flood the country, and find their way
.into all the channels of trade Still, we suppose,
it would be denied that the system bore even the
faintest resemblance to a Bank, when its notes were
generally received and acknowledged as a part of the
circulating medium of the country ; when they were
received as equivalent to the " Constitutional Cur
rency" by the Government, and paid out as the rep
resentative of Gold and Silver ! Truly, some men
can strain at gnat and swallow camels."
"FEDERAL WHIGGERY."
This is a favorite term with the Administration
Presses, when speaking of the Whig cause We
recently met with a Loco Foco paper, where the
whole Whig party were denounced as "IJartford
Convention Federalists.' Reproach nd malice can
8 no farther than this. And yet we might put up
Wll' it. if the party did not claim to be, themselves,
fxclusive Democrats. But the truth is, they have
h their ranks some of the most notorious, MaeWight
Federalists of the day. And they, have just given
a fresh proof how easily they Can '.accommodate
their principles to circumstances. In Massachusetts,
Theodore Sedgwick has been nominated by the
Van Buren party as their candidate for Lieut. Gov
ernor. Of hi : 'political' opihioiia and aWciatfons,
the " Boston Courier" thus speaks:"" Mr, Sedgwick
is a Federalist, died in the wool. He is not only a
Federalist, lut a downright, ttuc blue, Hartford Con
vention Federalistone who has united in thi) dec
laration, that he is willing to live and die in the faith
of that honored anil much abused Convention."
Affairs in Guilford.
It will be recollected that soon after the August
Election, the " Standard preferred a serious arid
Weighty charge against the Merchants of Guilford,
the citizens of Greensboro,' and the Society of
Friends. The accusation was indignantly denied
by the Merchants, in a body, through the columns
of this paper. ' The " Standard" then published .the
certificate of one Hardy Bridget, by way of sub
stantiating the allegation ; but the last ' Greensboro'
Patriot" copies a Court Record, by which it appears
that the witness of the " Standard" is "totally un
worthy of credit, having been convicted of kidnap
ping, besides being guilty of other crimes and mis-
demeanors. In this situation of affairs. th tact
"Standard" comes outwhh the following acknowl
edgment :
From the testimony adduced in tegard to" the
character of the evidence in support of the asser
tions made by our correspondents, as to the doings
in Guilfoid, and other circumstances, we feely ac
knowledge that our friend have utterly failed in es
tablishing all or any part of the charges brought a
gainst the merchants of Guilfoid, the citizens of the
town of Greensboro, or the society of friends." '
A DILEM MA.
During the recent absence of Mr. Hale, the es
timable and able Editor of the 'Fayetteville Ob
server," a most scurrilous and malicious article ap
peared about him in the North-Carolina Journal,"
under the signature of Veritas. On Mr Hide's
return, he demanded the author, and the Editor of
the "Journal" gave in writing the names, of two
individuals whom he repiesented as the authors.
One of the persons implicated has since " explicitly
and indignantly denied having haJ any agency
whatever in writing, or causing to be wrUten or pub
lished," the article in question. Qaere ? Who
then, did write it ? A boy heing scolded for whist
ling, excused himself b.' declaring that he had nclf,
but that " it whistled itself." Perhaps the libellous
article iu the Journal was produced by an agency
equally mysterious. . '
. CT In the late Freshet, Tar River was higher
than it has been since 1798 and about a foot high
er than in the great Fresh of 1817. The Cape Fear
and Neusc were also unusually high; and, every
where, immense damage was sustained by. the de
struction of Mills, Crops, Stock, Fences &c. The
losses on Tar River, Fishing Creek, Swift Creek
and Deep Creek are estimated at three millions of
dollars.

POWDER EXPLOSION.
The Harrisburg Intelligencer" states tlat the
Powder Mill of A. & A. Watson, situated on the
Monongahela, about four miles above Pittsburgh,
containing seven thousands pounds of powder, was
blown up on Wednesday, with a crash "which was
heard eighteen or twenty miles around. One man

Morns Multicaulis S$k Culture.
The Richmond Enquirer has A long and valuable
article on the subjects which head this article, con
taining numerous excerpts frjm different writers in
relation to Mulberry trees, Qocoons, &c. &c. The
Enquirer says: ;
Virginia is not asleah in relation to this new
branch of industry. ' Wfe have beard of large profits
being made in the neighborhood of Fredericksburg,
Petersburg and of Norfolk; in Caroline countv.
Brunswick, $-c The profits made by Mr. Hicks
of Brunswick, on an outlay of from 2 to f 300 in
the Morus Multirulis, have been already noticed
in this paper. Ik amounted, according to a letter
of that gentlemar to the Editor of the Farmer's Re
gister, to $7,500 lesides retaining an ample stock
for his future productions. We have heard of aii
cciintes of astonishing profits being made in several
places. They are as rife as they are amusing of
little squares in gardens, producing profit enough to
amaze the owner of small spots of ground, which
had co t only 5 to 600 dollars turning out in this
new species of agriculture, 3 or 4000 dollars of
'cute farmers in the North, looking ahead, coming
to Virginia, selecting the best soils and situations,
sending on their one or two eyed cuttings and reap
ing this Fall a harvest of several thousand dollars
The Moriis Multicaulis, and the Silk worm, are now
all the grj. Forty dollars the thousand for cuttings
are offerekl. Trees are bought at $25 or more and
some eentlemea in our own City are talking of es
tablishing cocooneries in our vicinity. The subject
is certainly worthy of inquiry ; and we hope our
friend of the Register will go on, to collect informa
tion from all quarters, and give us in each No. of
his valuable work some statistics upon the subject.
Let us remember, that the growth of Cotton itself
was at one time as much a novelty in the U. States,
as Silk is at this moment. Both have had their
birth and their cradle. Cotton has now obtained a
gigantic degree of prosperity, which nothing can ar
rest. Why may it not be the case with Silk ? Our
own importations of Silk during 1837, were $14,
352.823. Why may we not only supersede the
importation from the east and from Europe, but
supply a large portion of the raw material to the rest
of the world ?"
03 The Legislatures of Massachusetts & Rhode
Island have passed laws prohibiting tljo sale of
spirituous liquors. Much feeling appears to exist
on the subject, and, there are signs, that Federal
Politics will be merged in the more exciting ques
tion of Temperance or Anti-Temperance.

STATE ELECTIONS.
i NEW JERSEY. ;
The Whigs of this Stale have maintained their
integrity in the face of ajl the allurements of the
National Treasury, though the Administration for.
ces fought with a desperation worthy of a better
cause. Reposing upon their previously well-earned
laurels, the Jersey Blues have well uigh been caught
riapping; but so it is they have escaped with the
skin" of their teeth, having elected every mepiher of
Congress a Whig, and a sufficient majority, on joint
ballot of the Legislature, to secure a Whig United
States Senator. So, threecheers for the Jarseys!
The Whig majority for their Congress Ticket is
95 07i joint balUt of the Legislature, 16. ,

SOUTH.CAROLINA.
AM tiiei?;;b-tfeasurv Can Jidates arc elected to Con
gress exceptGwi. Campbell and thegaliantWAiiDT
Tiiovpsos, whose success by so tremendous a ma
jority, in Mr. Calhoun's own District, almost com
pensates for the defeat of the other Conservatives.
It must be a source of great mortification to Mr.
Calhoun, after having taken the stump in person
against Mr. Thompson, that he should have: tri
umphed by so signal a majority say more than a
thousand votes.
The Members of Congress elect are Messrs. W.
Thompson, Isaac E. Holmes (in place of Legare)
F. H. Elmore, F. W. Pickens. t. B. Rhett, J. K.
Griffin, J. P. Richardson and Gen. Campbell.
The contest in Charleston has produced some
strange disclosures. The "Mercury," Mr.Calhoun's
organ, having claimed that Mr. Holmes (the Sub
Treasury Candidate) was a mare thorough-going
Administration man- than Mr Legare, the friend's of
the latter controverted, this position, arid asserted
that he was the true Simon Pure, and in support of
their assertion declared that letters had been received
from Mr. Poinsett. Secretary of Wsn, (official) in
favor of Mr Legare. The Mercury men, 'not lobe
outdone, rebutted this au;hority by another letter of
n directly opposite character from the Hon. Secreta-
r '
ry, in w hich strong ground is taken against Mr. Le
gare, and as stated, "at the instance of Mr. Cal
houn." ?A letter of Mr. Poinsett's was shown to n num
ber'' of gentlemen, and which we hope will be pro
duced if called for, (we saw ii yesterda', in which
Mr. Poinsett declares that he could not. as a friend
f the Administration, sustain Mr. Legure in his
, Election that he had, at the instance of Mr. Cal-
y h.mn, suggested either Judge Huger. Mr. Memmin-
h ger or Mr. Bennett, to be substituted fr Mr. Le
gare, but if Mr. Bennett, and the others, by throw
ing obstacles in the way. prevented a Union man
from being run agiinst Mr. Legare. they had only
themselves t i blame, for a Nullifier's being taken
up;- at any rate, the 4)i?tnct ought not to be misrep
resented by the election nf Mr. Legare. This is the
purport of the letter; we have it m;t before us and
pretend not to quote it verbatim "
. PENNSYLVANIA.
Final .returns have not been received from this
State, but enough is known to satisfy the public
mind, that the Van Buren Candidate for Governor,
(Porte?,) is elected over Ritner; but with regard to
the majority in the State Legislature, there H con-
.siderable doubt. Doth parties admit that the Whigs
have a majority in the Senate, whilst both seem un
certain which way the majority is in the House.
As to the Congressional Election, our returns are
unsatisfactory arid indefinite. As far as heard
from, however, the Whigs have gained t'.ireG mem
bers and lost one. We may obtain more full and
certain iuformation.in time for a Postscript. Wheth
er the Whigs have a majority on joint ballot or not
the result shows a great .Whig gain, and gives rea
s jn to hope th U in 1849, the Key-sto.ie Stati willhe
found ranged in the line of Republican Whig States.
Duly to estimate the present strength of the VVhigs
in this State, the reader shoul I bear in mind the
fact that Pennsylvania has been always in the
hinds of the Administration. In 1832, Gen. Jack
son's majority was nearly 30,000. In 1835, when
Ritner (the present Governor) was elected he ran
against two Jackson men, (Wolf and Muhlenburg,)
and, by dividing the vote between them, succeeded,
though their joint vote exceeded his by more than
12,000. In 1837, the Van Buren majority was
9,601. What it is now, remains to he seen.
Perhaps, there never was such desperation ex
hibited by any party, in any age, as by the Admin
istration party of Pennsylvania, at this election.
We will mention an instance : In the third Con
gressional District, composed of the Northern Liber
ties, and parts of the County of Philadelphia, Mr.
Nay lor (Whig) was elected by 775 votes over Chas.
J. Ingersoll, the man who openly boosted that "had
he lived during the Revolution, he would have been
a Tory." With a view of defeating, however, the
expressed will of the people, two of the Van Buren
inspectois refused to produce a statement of the
Polls, as held by them in two Wards of the North
ern Liberties, alleging they had lost them; and, in
consequence of these being misssng, Mr. Ingersoll
had the effrontery to demand the rejection of the
returns from the seven other Wards of the Liber
ties, the consequence of which would be to deprive
his opponent of so many votes, as to elect him, (In
gersoll.) And monstrous as was the proposition,
there were found among the Judges, a majority to
agree to it absolutely to throw out the whole vote
of the Northern Liberties, because of error or frauds
in two Wards, under the direction of Inspectors of
-their party! Pursuing this course, the three Loco
Foco Judges signed a Certificate in favor of Inger
soll, and the three Whig Judges, in favor of Naylor.
But in this, as in all other cases, guilt overreached
itseli, and justice was established. The three Judges
; who were willing that the people should be heard,
made out correct returns of the County on return
Iaw Friilav. ami b ft ruled them to the Sheriff who,
. J . - - i
in fulfilment of hi duties forwarded them to Har- J
risburg. Oh Saturday, those return Judges who
had been unfortunately induced to hesitate between
dutj and party fealty, carried to the Sheriff andther
set of returns. These of course could not be sent
to Harrisburg, inasmuch as one set of returns' had
already peenforwarded; and thus this disgraceful
plot against the rights of the people was exploded!
GEORGIA.
In this Stole, as we ventured to anticipate in our
last, the wth.Ie Whig Ticket for Congress is elected
by an average majority of 1500 votes, and we have
a majority of two iu the Senate end four in the
House. In the piesent Congress, the Whigs have
but one member; in the next, they will have nine.
In the last Legislature, there was a Van Buren ma
jority of 32 ; in the nej the Whigs will have a
majority of 6 showing, a gain of 38 members.
Truly, we may say of Georgia " Many Mates
have done virtuously, tut thou excellesl them alL"
'OHIO.
The returns which hav reached us from Ohio
make it probable that Shannon, the Van Buren can
didate, is elected Go venor of the State. We re
serve details until the returns are more complete.
Of the Congressional elections, the following mem
bers are said to be elected : Messrs. 3orwin, Bond
Ridgeway, Mason, Allen and Giddings, IVhigsi and
Du.ican, Welter, Doan, Medill, Parish, Taylor and
LeKetter; Van Buren. In the 19th Distiict, Mr.
Sivearingen (V. B.) has beaten Mr. Kilgore, the
ami-sub Treasury member, who, in consequence,
has resigned his seat for the remainder of the pre
sent session.
ANOTHER WHIG VICTORY.
Wisconsin Territory has elected Judge Dorr
( Anti-Van Buren) to Congress over Gen. Jones, the
particular friend of Messrs. Duncan and Bynum, in
the duel between Messrs. Cilley and Graves, last
winter. Wisconsin, it is true, is hut a Territory,
but the result shows what may be expected of her
when she arrives at voting aire.
ANOTHER WHIG VICTORY.
The indomitable Whigs of Baltimore have again
put forth their strength, .and achieved a victory
scarcely inferior in importance to that lately obtain
ed. An Election was held for a Ma-, or and both
branches of the City Council, w hich resulted in the
complete success of the Whig nominees by most sig
nal and triumphant majorities. Shkppahii C. Lea
kin, the Whig Candidate, was chosen Major by a
majority of 467 votes, and twenty-one Whigs were
elected to the City Councils.
The Election (says the American) was not char
acterised by those scenes of violence which disgraced
our City two week.- ago. The money of the Gov
ernment was wanting, and no hired bullies appear
ed at the polls to prevent the aged, infirm or timid
from depositing then- ballots The consequence
was that the Whigs have ob.aineJ a majority of
J J I
y five hundred votes a majority which falls I
" i
snon oi ineir real supremacy in oaitimore. i nts
result shows conclusively that, but for the violence
which prevented a fair election on the 3d of Octo
ber, Mr. St I-elk -would have obtained in Baltimore
a sufficient majority to elect him the Governor of
Maryland.
STEAM BOAT LAW.
fhe regulations provided by Congress, at its last
session, in relation to Stenin Boats, are already giv
ing proofs of their utility. Several boats on the
Western waters have been condemned as unsafe,
and have, consequently, ceased to run. We per

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES
During the las! Session of Congress, Mr. Sena
tor BtcHAAf , of Pennsylvania, in speaking of the
United States Bank, said' If thi-j curse must be
inflicted on the country, I am for having it located
in Philadelphia, not in-New York."
The " Tennessee Review" subjoins to the above
the r marks ofjl'an Irish-Priest, which are-altogether
too appropriate to be lost " My beloved brethren,"
said kho excellent Father McGuire. at the close of
a Temperanc Sermon, " this drinking of wl.iskey,
as I have proved to you, is a bad thing it ruins
both body aud soul but if you mane still to get
drunk and make beasts of yourselves, you may as
well give your fips to Harney Coyle as any body !"
We said some'monlhs ago, (remarks the Hills-,
boro' Recorder ) that there were sign iu the politi
cal horizon which seemed to indicate a probability
that the falling fortunes of Mr. Van Buren will
induce the leaders of the party to fix upon Mr. Cal
houn as their candidate for President for the next
term. The altered tone of the Standard, when
speaking of this gentleman, has had a tendency to
strengthen this opinion; but the Editors of the Mil
ton Spectator have come out openly in the matter.
Hear them;
We pray, to witness the time when J. C. Cal
houn shall swav the sceptre of this great and glo
rious republic. We feel satisfied that our wisheljnsuit Petersburg Intelligencer.
will one day be gratified to the fill. And, indeed,
so mote it be!
CHARLESTON, L.& C. RAIL ROAD.
Books are opened for subscriptions to the Bank
connected with this Road, and the prospect is now
certain of its going into operation .before January
next. , About one million of dollars were subscribed
at Charleston, the day the books were opened, and
the first instalment paid. f
Of the benefits to accruerfrom this ''South-Wes
tern Rail Road Bank," (branches of which will be
located in this State, Tennessee, and most probably
Kentucky ) the Convention, which recently met at
Asheville, Buncombe County, makes an imposing
Expose. From the Report of the Directors to the
Stockholders, we extract the following passage:
"It cannot be doubted, that a Bank, extending
with its branches over three States, will furnish a
currency, which will be of inestimable value to the
citizens of this State- a currency, whose credit
would be such, as to command an extensive circu
lation, not only within the State granting the char
ter, but in the neighboring States, and to some ex
tent throughout the Union. Furnishing the ready
means of transferring funds, by drafts' and bills of
exchange, the South and theWest will be relieved
from What is now felt as an onerous tax upon their
intercourse. The want of a common currency now
subjects the trader arid the traveller, not merely to
much inconvenience, but to great expense. Gold
and Silver, though indispensable as the basis of a
sound circulating roetfium, never can, td any extent,
be made available for the general purposes of com
merce. No traveller or trader will attempt td cross'
the mountains with bags of specie, while he'Can'oh
tain drafts or bank bills, which will answer his pur
pose equally as well In proof of tbis, we stilt state
the fact that on our recent visit to the Werf, we
were unable to convert Southern bank bills, even of
specie-paying Banks, into Western paper, but at a
premium of 7 percent while Kentnky Bank bills
could not probably be rendered available in Charles
ton, without jayinj the same . premitrm, thus sai
jecting the holders oftliese bilU respectively, to a
charge, in a single transfer oT funds between Lex
ington and Charleston, equal to a whole yearns in
terest on the amount. I'hough thiS may be regar
ded as an unusual and extraordinary state of things,
we feel warranted in stating, oii the authority of
several experienced Western fradsrs, that the gene
ral condition of the currency and of the exchanges,
subjects the trade between the Sonth and the V est
to charges, which may be. safely estimated at 6 per
cent., on the whole amount employe! id that trade,
which we all know amounts to many millions of
dollars annually. The South Western Rail Road
Bank will supply an effectual corrective to thh evil.
It Will thus not only effect a vast annual saving to
the traders and farmers of the South and the West,
but, by so doing, will recommend itself to general
favor and support) and, if conducted on safe, sound,
and .liberal principles, will at the same time ensure
large profits to the Stockholders.
"The failure to renew the charter of the Bank of
the United States has left the Southern and W es
tern States in the lamentable condition above des
cribed, from which they never can be relieved, but
by the establishment of such a Hank as ours. The
New York Banks, and the Pennsylvania Ban& f
the United States, 'furnish to the Nort&ern aud
t-- ..o::.. r... ,k;-
Eastern Stales, a currency sufficient for their pur
poses. But nothing short of a Bank, having a char
ter from several States, can supply our wants.
THE CASWELL DINNER.
The Editor of the ''Hillsboro' Recorder," in no
ticing the late Van Buien Dinner at Caswell Court
Houe, has the following remarks.-
" We learn from a private source, that in his
Speech Mr. Brown said, that he did not consider
the expression of the popular sentiment in the late
elections as sufficiently explicit, and nhould there
fore wait for instructions from the Legislature. We
understand that he even w ent into a "labored argu
ment to show the follu of considering the expres
sions of opinion in popular elections as instructions,
because of their continual fluctuations ; as if the
same objection would not apply with equal force to
instructions from the Legislature. To one acquaiii-
ted vviih the maneuvering of the parly, these woul4
be det-meu strange sentiments to come tiom a uem-,
oeratic Senator; but it seems that "democracy,"
now-a-days, is made to mean any thing which will
sustain the party in power. Mr. Brown is deter
mined that none other ihan Paddy's hint shall serve
the purpose now. t
Mr By num's speech, we learn from the sams
respectable source, was plentifully sprinkled witht
loco-focuism. We know not whether this should
be attributed to the effects of the "wines and others
good liquors," or to the spirit of the anim&l ; but
certain it is, if w e are correctly informed (of which
we have no doubt,) his speech was any thing but --
"devout and pure,
Sober, steadfast, and demure.
1 fe course of his remarks, it is said, he made a
i.i . i. t r...:....:D.
. . 1 J , , , .
nouneing mem as aristocratic, and calculated tt
to
benefit only a 'privileged few.' His remarks were
calculated to disgust intelligent men of all parties;
and one of his ow n party remarked, that "he was
sorry such an attack had been made; if his cause
could not be supported by the intelligence of the
country, he did not wish it to be supported at all."
SENATORS STRANGE & J3ROWN.
It is hiffh time that the "
oy auttionty
.i .
papers of North Carolina; had informed the
public what course the Senators from that
State intend pursuing, in consequence of
the late unqualified expression of disappro
bation which their political course has re
ceived from their constituents. One would
think, there iould scarcely be a doubt con
cerning the course of such pure democrats,
and that the Government would have, re
ceived their letters of resignation the week
after the result of the late elections was
known. Hut these are strange times.
" What is sauce tor the goose, 13 not al
ways sauce for the gander," and those who
are readv enoujrh to exercise the right of
instruction towards their enemies, are some
times not willing to admit, the exercise of
the right when applied, however justly, to
their own cases. This we fear, is the case
with Messrs. Strange and Brown. If not,
wje should have long since heard of their
resio-natiojt or the declaration of their inten
tion to obey the popular will as indicated
by the late elections. For the true demo
cratic doctrine, as often proclaimed by the
V. IJ. prints, is, that "whenever the Repre
sentative knows the will of his constituents,
he must either obey it, or resign his office.'
Messrs. Brown and Strange must know the
will of the people of North Carolina. They
must know and feel that their conduct and
the course of the party with which they act,
have beep signally rebuked by a majority
of their constituents, and they will by per
severing in their career, fu'fy prove what has
long been generally suspected, that all their
professions of reverence for, and obedience
to the will of the people, are mockery anu,
