&gle! aud yet the measures recommended
BY each ol these meetings are almos. iden-

Mr. Van Buren,. This course Of the

tons Of the administration. and Of the
tenera5le paIriul whom grateful people
have called 10 the Chief ,lagistracy of the
nation. that the freemen Of Orange coun>
~ have right IN know what their late
Representative did say, in order to Judge
whether his language and sentiments al
Raleigh accord with his declarations and
professions Of nopariyism al home"
Now we did not hear the speech, but
We think we know the man; and We are
MOI inel lined 10 believe that he would sra-
tuI,ously abuse any person. and parllcu-
larly Gen. Jackson. whose election he
always supported, and whose popularity
in this county is tao strong needlessly To
be encountered. That he is opposed to
some Of the measures Of the administers
zion we know TO be true. as do all the
citizens Of Orange county who have IA
ken the trouble tn think upon the subject.
Some Of the measures Of the ADMINISTERS,
lion he conceived tn be- Constitutional,
and some Of them impoli,ic; aud particu-
larry he dlsapproved Of the Presidents
/ veto on tire land bill. The passage of
that bill he conceived 10 be OF vital im.
porlance TO the prosperity of North Ca
rolina. But he considers General Jack
son to have been more sInned agaIns.
than s.nning; and believes that he has
been imposed on by gang Of political
desperadoes, who would sacrifice the
best interests Of the country for their own
advancement.
Believing these To he the sentiments OF
Mr.. Waddell, we are induced tn think
tina, the Standard las mistaken the drift
OF his rem Irss, and that the " strong and
bitter Recommendations" were directed IA.
'her against Nr. Van Buren,, Than aur pre-.
seat Chief Magistrate. Mr.. Wsddell's
Opposition 10 Mr.. Van Buren, is no new
thing. Three years ago he was mem
Der OF the convention held at Raleigh,
which nominated Judge Barbour Tor The
Vice Presidency. and on that occasion
delivered speech against MIR. Van Blu
rem. The ignnrance Of the editor Of the
STANDARD in regarded 10 these and many
other matters in aur political history NAV
he scry readily accounted for, as he was
absent in South America during the time,
where he doubtless perfected himself in
The very siaguiar code OF Democratic
Repubiicanism" which he is now endea.
Vorlng To impose upon tile people Of This
state.
We are the more inclined to think the
Standard is laboring under a mistake,
from the circumstances Of this case. Il
Is not usual for one man 10 make an at
tack upon the character Of another, un.
less Tor the promotion Of some purpose,
or The qualification of some selfish feel
