The North Carolina Standard

MR. HOLDEN: I have before me the eulogium pronounced by the 'Hillsborough Organ' on the Military Company which regularly musters at Capt. Joseph G. Bacon's. This Company, be it known, was formed and disciplined by the Captain himself; it numbers about forty rank and file; and is generally equipped with blue cotton, turned up with red. On the memorable 11th of November, the Captain called his Company together; and some have ventured to suggest that he did so as much for his own convenience as for the convenience of others. And after wheeling his invincibles right and left a few times, he dismissed them—called a Whig Meeting—made J. J. Freeland, Esq., Chairman, and J. C. Douglas, Secretary—delivered a speech himself, in which he demolished democracy—passed the Resolutions settling the election of Governor and President; and then called off his 'invincibles' to attack his corn-pile.

It is due to the Captain, however, to state that he had a rich and excellent repast set before his Company after they had finished their attack upon his corn-pile; and it is due to the valiant Company itself to state that each member of it attended to the 'eatins' with the 'promptness with which they uniformly discharge their political duties.' Soon after the 'intelligence' and 'military pride' of Capt. Bacon's District (who are 'too well fixed in their principles to be hoodwinked' by any body but a certain set of Whigs about Hillsborough) separated, animated by a strong determination, not only to keep up the 'nation's prosperity,' but to sustain the Hillsborough Organ.

It is proper to state that both the Captain and the Chairman of the Meeting have been constant readers of the 'Hillsborough Organ,' and that they owe a great deal of their 'intelligence' to the excellent pieces which have appeared in the 'Organ' aforesaid, on the subjects of 'Phoenix Bitters,' 'Moffat's Pills,' and the like. As to the Secretary, it is thought that he has added considerably to his stores of 'intelligence' by reading the Microcosm of your city.

A DEMOCRAT.
