1t affords US inexpressble pleasure TO witness
the determined and enthusiastic spirit which per-
vades and animates the democracy of North Caro-
lima. From all quarters we hear of union, and
concert, and of a fxedness of purpose to meet the
adversary at all points, to sif, and weigh and ex-
expose his principles, and to charge boldly and
fearlessly into his thickest and strongest encamp-
ment This is as it should be- But sterner and
still stronger spirit must be evoked. Every dem
ocrat must forget himself and think only of his
country No personal aspirations Inconsistent
with the complete and glorious triumph ofthe par
~ should be INDUCED. We believe they will not
be indulged. What is any man-what are a
thousand men, compared to the success Of demo-
cratic principles? Atoms in the air-grains of
sand amid innumerabIe millions of grains upon the
sea-shore Then let there be no jars, no discords,
no elimination or recrimination, no jealouses or
chickering's between democrats who may be spoken
Of or brought out for the Legislature. Although
we are certain of carrying the Legislature by a
most respectable majority and of electng our can
didae for Governor, yet the loss of member here
and there may endanger our success and diminish
the democratic vote. We speak as unto men.


The campaign is now fully opened in North
Carolina. The great champion of the Federal
has been here, inspiring his followers by his
personal presence, shouting to them his peculiar
doctrines, and urging them onward to a contest
similar in all respects to that of 1910. He, has
endorsed the carricatures, the coonskins, the hard
cider, and the revolutionary yells-he calls them
his instruments, and endeavors to render them ac-
ceptable by saying that his friends disposed to
encourage fun and joEity Fun and jOlIity!
What does he mean2 Are we to have fun and
jollity for pri~cples' Are the great political is
sues of the day-issues on the determination of
which hang the destinies of the present and of
all posterity-to be secuted from the presence of
the people with laugh Shall we be jolly be-
cause the country is indebted to the amount of
thirty miionsf Shall we sing for the blessings
of the Bankrupt Law, and because odous Fed
eral Tariff grinds the rock of our energies to
powder2 Fun and jOlLity! These terms may
suit other atmospheres, but they do not suit this.
North Carolina is a sober State. She has no am
pie offerings to present at the shrine ofthe fun-lov
ing god; and she will spurn-aye spurn those
who attempt to place such instruments as Mr..
Clay uses in the stead of great principles and an
ardent love of elevated constitutional liberty.
