THE SIXTH DISTRICT.
It becomes the duly of every good citi-zen,
to bow with submission to the will of
I a majority of ihe people, when that will
has been fairly expressed through the bal-
' lot box, but whilst we yield to llie public 1
will thus announced, it becomes the duty
of every good citizen lo serutenize the
: means employed by the successful party,
j to effect their victory, and to expose lo
the public view any Unfairness and dishon-
1 esly resorted to by them to accomplish
I their purposes.
We may, without the fear of contradic-
! lion from any intelligent and respectable
' source, boldly make the assertion, that in
, no instance in the history of North Cam*
lina, has any parly in any election, stooped
so low as the Democratic parly of the (ith

American party of this district, and to
triumph over every one who in ihe late
election voted lor Col. Puryear. Whe-ther
il was in good taste for Mr. Scales lo
be present at Winston, on this occasion,
and make a speech, and join in a pompous
celebtaiion of his own victory, and to re-joice
and exult over a noble but vanquish-ed
competitor, and thus to tmoiple untltr-foot
and insult those who v;ted against
him. we will leave to an intelligent people
to decide. There are some other things
connected with this democratic meeting lo
which we intend at a proper lime lo call
ihe attention of the public. We regret
very much that the 800 Whig and Ameri-cans
of ibis district, who were at home on
the day of election, could not have seen
