It is enough for us . to know whether a man is with or against the De mocratic party. : If with it, we hail hkn as a po)tti cal friend ; if against it, we regard him as a political enemy. We are always sorry to see a -Democrat forsaking his faith and embracing principles contra ry to the Democratic creed ; but he must be pre sumptuous indeed who supposes his party will break, up its organization and turn its back on long estab lished and dearly cherished principles to follow, him. As an organ of the Democratic party the Standard would be faithless to the dutie it has assumed and recreant to the trust reposed in it, if it did not op pose and denounce all attempts at disorganization, all departures from the cardinal principles on which the party is founded, and ' which gives ' it a diKtiacf; and separate existence. To attempt to follow all bolters or disaffected individuals, would soon render the Democratic party, like, its opponents, ' " power, less," split it into discordant factions and place it where it would not be in the Jield even, . Like the Register, we would not know in a short time where we were, what our principles were, or to what par ty we belonged. Like the Know-Nothing-Whig-American-Sams we should soon be at sea, our vessel sunk, and ready to grasp friend or foe that prom-' ised to keep our heads another moment above water. Rather than see the Democratic party reduced to such a humiliating situation as this, we would .nail its flag to the mast and go down with it, overwhelmed by opposing waves, but not sundered by discord. U In conclusion we would inform the Register that it assumes to itself too much importance in supposing it has inspired any " mortal dread in the Democrat ic ranks, or that it has made the Standard ." more particularly nervous than any .of its brethien.w Neither the .Standard, por-jtsly-etlveft jejkUlL, alarmed.

No doubt our neighbor thinks a " Distribution Democrat n an infernal machine capable of blowing up the Demo cratic party, but when he applies the match he will find himself fiat on his back, with a mighty smoke around him arid a deafening noise in his ears; and when he raises his head, blows off the smoke and looks out to see what execution has been done, he will find all the slain in the rear of his ordnance.. Commending to his careful attention' the following article from the Asheville News, from which he will perceive the evident dread and nervous trepidation: of our mountain brother, we dismiss him for the present : "A Family Disagreement. We are sorry to see our Know Nothing cotemporaries quarreling among themselves about the next summer's campaign. They ' are now in the condition of the army of beeves that Leslie Combs used to talk about so weak that they have to be held up to be knocked down and if this family fight continues until the opening of the cam paign, the party 'Will aot-be strong enough to make a shadow.5 We are-oppesed to thie,,ndienteri'our solemn protest against it The Democracy are spoil ing for a fight a regularly organized and well con tested battle. .It is true "Sam" is a shabby oppon ent, but we can " keep our bands in" by thrashing hra, until something better turns up. So stop your quarreling, gentlemen, and prepare for the fight This interesting family Bare op may be briefly stated thus: the Raleigh Begister, "the central orgatt'of the opposition, has taken the positron that the Whig and American parties should'not go into the fight next summer atall; that being hopelessly prostrate., they should stand . aloof and Wait for "something to turn up." Along with this advice to its partr there is a shrewd suggestion that they might consistently vote for a Distribution Democrat for Governor I Con sistent Regiter "Shrewd angler for fishy Demo crats! The Salisbury Watchman endorses the Reg inter" views and shouts " Uureka !" over the bright idea.

To think of backing down without a fight, while " fifty thousand American Whfgs who have never faltered and who voted for John A.

The effect at every poltjt yrtsjtf'' stantaneous, snd-the panic ceased as if by magic. At Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and other im portant cities, .the news was received with the most extravagant acclamations or joy. At ,: m f t.-y . The "char (efbf ihe Bank of Eheland,tt'seems. was suspenaea oy me government, ana an anuautea 19 sue of small notes authorized, The New !

Circucov stances bad given it an anomalous position and a' power of unquestionable utility as the hnwatchedi Kiiuiuuui, iue unreguittieu regulator 01 iue price oi. . money and of . the national currency. In that year Sir Robert Peel, Assisted by the advice and informa tion of Mn Jones Loyd, since Lord Overstone, and' of other eminent bankers and financiers cast the Bank in a new mould, with the double object of as suring stability to the currency and of controlling the financial movements of the kingdom. The essential feature of the new Bank Charter was the separation vihich it established between the Is sue and the Banking Departments of the Bank - Ifi -1 all practical aspects the Banking Department of the Bank of England is now an independent Bank, do ' ing business on the same principles with the other Banks of London, but hampered by its connection with the Issue Bank of the Government in the fol lowing wy : Under the old system no bullion was set apart exclusively to meet the circulation of- the Bank. Every sovereign in the vaults of the Bank was at the. disposal of the Bank Government .when? caiiea lor, emier oy general aepositors or or ttor-v- rwers on security. Under the new system on'y so much specie remains at any time in the Banking Department, as is not needed in the Issue Depart ment to balance the excess of the Bank circulation over the amount of. the Government Debt to the Bank. In 1844 this -Debt amounted to 14.000,000, certified by the securities of the Government, and against this sum bank-notes might be issued. In 1856 an order in Council authorized the further emis sion of notes against securities to the amount of 475.000. For every pound issued by the Bank, in the form of notes, above this sum of 14,475.000, the Issue Department must hold a pound in specie. This arrangement it is which has caused the great-" est dissatisfaction to the enemies of the Bank Char ter Act For it will be seen at once that the prac tical operation of this restriction, must greatly impede the development of the Bunking Department, and interfere with its natural movement, particularly in times which threaten a public panic. The Banking Department can only show specie, of course, to the amount of the notes which it actu ally holds, and as the notes in the Banking Depart ment bi gin to diminish, the Directors must natural ly enough begin to. feel concern for the Issue De partment Just here it is that the Government in tervenes as in the present instance. The elevation of (be rate of discount proving impotent to arrest the" dram upon the banking Department, the Treasury suspends, 'not. the obligation o.tlie BmhIc to pay specie, but that clause of the Charter which limits the increase of issues by the-increase of specie." ' This prompt action, of the English government has postponed, and probably prevented, great financial embarrassment and disaster; but the issue of small notes, even on good securities, as in this case, will hardly restore permanent firmness and confidence in money matters. We cannot understand how the evils resulting from the credit system can be cured by an indefinite extension of that sy stem. ' The last New York New says: ; . : ' " The news from London by the Vanderbilt is im portant. The English Government has given au thority to the Bank of England to increase its dis counts, without regard to the limitation imposed by its charter. This step has relieved the market' The expansion of loans and discounts will remedy the mischief, which had reached its height by the discount brokers and banks, except the Bank of England stopping discounting. The numerous failures re ported do riot include any large banking houses hav ing establishments in this city. Now that the worst has been reached, an expansion of discounts agreed 011. a feeling of confidence is more ' likely to return here. " The Bank of England keeps up" its rate of 10 per cent, and the Bank of France has raised its rate to the same. ' Consols were steady.

The news is favorably received in Wall street, but much anxiety is felt to get the newspapers by the Vanderbilt. The Cotton dealers take courage from the lact that a reaction in prices' in Liverpool had orcured at the last moment The cotton interest is so far strong here, as no reclamations can be dreaded from the other side, the stock in Liverpool being owned there and not here. The feeling is strong that the American bouses in London ai e now safe, being rendered able tq get as sistance from the Bank of England; - A great crash has been prevented by the giving powei to the Bank to-extend its issues on securities. The money market here is easy on call and short time, at 6a7 per cent. The discount market ia still dull. Spofford &, Tileston's paper soldto-day at 10 percent.

The history of eminent men, in all professions and callings proves this. The great statesman, Daniel Webster, was a great lawyer. His boyhood was marked by uncommon industry. As a speaker, "he? did not excel in early life. ' With great deliberation he selected the law as his profession, nor could be be deterred from his chosen-pursuits. While a poor Student, and the tempting prize of fifteen hundred dollars a year as Clerk of the Courts, then a Urge sum, gained with great difficulty for him by the zeal and influence of his father, nor could all the persua sions of the father turn him from the mark he had set .before him; and his great eulogist, the Attorney General of Massachusetts, is another marked illus tration of resolute endurance and. indomitable in dustry life long centering in one profession, ma king him one of the chief ornaments of that 'pro fession, if not its head in the United States. 1 Our late distinguished Ambassador at the Court of St. James, the' Hon.' Abbot 'Lawrence 'whose wealth was poured out for all benevolent purposes in donations as large ns the sea, could recall the time when he had his profession to select, and the first dollar of his splendid foi tune to earn. He chose deliberately a calling: he pursued that occupation with integrity and endurance, through dark days and trying seasons, and the result is before the world. This case affords an apt illustration of the pi o verb of the wise man, thai a man "diligent in his business shall stand before kings, and not be fore mean men." Theajate John Jacob Astor, as he, left .his native I uermany, passed beneath a linden tree not Tar from the line that separated his native land from another, and made three resolutions, -wh'ch he intended should guide him through life : " 1. He wonld be honest 3. He would be industrious. 8. He would never gamble." He was on foot; his wealth wm in the small bundle that swung from his stick laid on his shoulder. Tho world was before him. He was able to carry them out. His success is the best comment on his endurance. ' Stephen GTrard at the J age 01 lorty years, was in quite moderate circum stances, being the captain of a small coasting vessel on the Delaware, and part owner of the same. No trait in his character was more marked than his en durance, and the element gave him a fortune. All men who have succeeded well in 'life," have? been men of high resolve and endurance. The famed William Pitt was, in early life, fond of gam ing. The passion increased with his yeais; he knew that he must at once master the passion, or the passion would master him. He made a firm re solve that he would never again play at a game of hazard. He could make such a resolution ; he could keep it His subsequent eminence was the fruit of that power. William Wilberforce, in ' his earlier days, like most men of his rank and age, loved the excitement of games of hazard. He saw the ruin of the vice of gaming as be never saw it before ; he was appalled with what he beheld. Sitting amid gaming, ruin, and despair, he -took, the 'resolution that he would never again enter a gaming house. He changed his company with the change of his conduct, and subsequently became one of the most distinguished Englishmen of his age. ; ' : -" P ? Dr. Samuel Johnson was once requested to drink' with a friend. The doctor proposed tea, "But drink a little wine," said his bast " I cannot" was the reply. " I know abstinence I know excess but I know no medium. Long since I resolved, a& I CQiilci not drink a little wine, I'woald drink none "at all." A man who could thus support his lesolUJ tion by action, was a man of endurance, ard that element is as well displayed in this incident as in the. compilation of his great work. When Richard Brinsley Sheridan made his first" speech in parlia ment, it was regaided on all hands as a most morti fying failure. He was urged to abandon a parlia mentary career, and enter upon some field better suited to bis ability. " No," said Sheridan; " no, it is in me, and it shall come out!" , And it did ; and he became one of the most splendid debaters in England. Loyola, the founder of the Order of Jesu its, the courtier, the man of gallantry and dissipa tion, obtained such mastery over himself by labor and endurance, that, to -illustrate the fact, he stood several hours, apparently unmoved, in a pond of ice and moddy water up to his chin. Perhaps no other nation in Europe at that time could have won the battle of Waterloo, except the British, because no other could have brought to that conflict that amount of endurance needed to win. For many hours that army stood manfully before the 'murderous fire of the trench; column atter column fell, while not a gun was discharged on their part- One sullen word of command ran along the line as thousands fell : "File up! file up!" Not yet! not yet!" was the Iron Duke's reply to earnest requests made to charge and fight the foe. At length the. time of action came. The charge was given, and victory perched upon the standard of England." '' United States Circuit Court. This Court is in session here this week, his Honor Judge Wayne presiding.

Of course, as. the Administration is fully com mitted to the uppoit of the action of the Conven tion, Gov. Walker will also give it the weight of bis endorsement When the Constitution of Kansas has been pre sented to Congress for the admission of the new Mate, the subject will become -a question of acijvr discussion. The vote on the - Constitution by the people of Kansas will be taken on the 31st of De- ; cember. The formal presentation of the Const itu tion will scarcely be made before the middle of Jan uary. Discussion may arise before that period, but. only by way of manifesting a desire to renew the agitation, whether , a practical question is before.

Bulwer treaty; these diplomatists, it is said, are en deavoring to dinsuade him from taking this decisive step. This treaty has resulted in nothing but diplo matic .embarrassments, and sound policy requires that our government should withdraw from an-" en-. tangling alliance," which, I may remark here, was formed by a Whig Administration professing to hold such things in especial horror. There is an obvious impropriety in negotiating - upon the internal con cerns of a neighboring government with a third pow- er. ana 11 is time we naa retraced tne laise step and retracted, the admission of the Clayton-Bulwer trea ty.

It is as serted that the system of credits is much more ex panded in England than it has been in America and that the crash will continue to produce disasters for a long time to come. On the continent, the wildest ' schemes of speculation have been indulged in and. an expansion exists quite as great as has been k now here within a generation. In fact the commercial system of Europe is radically unsound, and every ' thing indicates that a period of general liquidation is at hand. Many of the business establishments abroad have grown to dimensions beyond the ability of their proprietors to control, and mismanagement and bankruptcy were the inevitable consequences. The prevailing crisis soon discloses their actual coni ditton. On this side, the condition of things is im proving, although business has not revived.
