GOVERNOR DUDLEY.

We agree with the Locun, teAenS of the Fayette-
vile Observer, that Governor Dudley is high
minded honorable gentleman, possessing too much
independence to 'wear the bride collar" of any
man, and will be among the last to be found draw
ing in the " abolition traces" And "by the same
token" the opposition will find that he will not be
led by the North Carolina Wings" into the slough
of northern federalism.
The Observer has s lodged the question" about
the Presidency. Why did not that paper say at
once that Gov. Dudley would vote for neither Clay
Webster nor Harrison? The Observer says G as
to Gov. Dudey's choice of candidates for the next
Presidency, we have nothing to do; he is as free
to choose as we are and will doubtless do So" In
deed if the Observer is so Indifferent about the
Presidency, suppose it is Indifferent about a
National Bank too for the question is now neither
more nor less than ' Fan Buren, and u ConStitat-
tionaL Treasury, or Henry Clay and q National
Bank" Will the Observer tell US if Gov. Dudley
is in favor of National Bank2 AS the federal pa
pers talk about our whig governor" it may be
edifying to the people to know how much of a
"whig' he is-as "whig' is now used to desig
nate nothing more nor less than federalist- fact
which every intelligent man IN North Carolina will
ere long acknowledge to be true.
1t need not surprise the Observer if many south
ern patriots halt in the ranks of the whigs" when
they perceive them marching in the steps Of anci-
ent federalism. The patriotic Branch allows no
personal prejudices to influence hm-but is start
led in view of the tremendous consequences of
making President at the dictation of the federal
party at the sacrifice of every southern interest
and the desecratlon of every southern principle
and if certain " "high-minded and honorable gen
tleman," exalted in station and in character has
long since determined to advocate principles which
he thinks will best promote the interest of his coun
try-"his whole country-and nothing but his coun
try"-the Observer and its party will, we trust, be
able to bear the disappointment.

in all respects as if he held no station; visiting

private amusements of the place like any other
private gentleman. The consequence has been
that he has made a most favorable impression
even on prejudiced minds. The Wings have
paid him as much attention as his own friends
and it is universally acknowledged, that his
address is easy, unaffected, unpretending, grace
ful, and just as it should be. Indeed, it is a
subject of frequent remark, that it is one of the
highest compliments to the beauty of our Insltu-
tions to see ou. Chief Magistrate throwing aside
the trappings of Office and associaling with all
classes of his ellow-ciIizens terms of the most

for, even in the DoPic order, such proportion
would be nearly that Of the whole Entablature.
The word chapters is to be understood, there
fore, to mean the several members forming the
Entabature, which were placed upon the capi-
tails of The columns.
1t is probable that the entabature was formed
of two stones, in width feet the height Uf each

THE PEOPLE against THE BANK.
MOre of the EIectiOIlS.

AZ The Lincolnton Republican gives majo-
rity of t1ro in the Senate of this State against
National Bank. In the House his classification is
So democratic republicans to 62 opposition. We
agree with the editor in opinion that the adinistra
TONS strength will be found much greater on the
meeting of the Legislature; we have not ceased to
express that opinion.
The editor of the Fayetteville Journal makes the
returns still more favorable to the administration.
He says" According to our estimation (and it is
prepared on consultation with men Of experience
in the history of the politics of the State) the Sen
ate would stand as to the Independent Treasury,
2S for, to 22 against and the House 63 for, to Sc

FEDERAL OPPRESSION.

The Pennsylvania Reporter says that laborer
have been discharged from the works on the cana
near Clark's Ferry, because they will not promise
to vote for the "whig" governor, Ritner. The
place of the discharged democratic republicans is
supplied by gangs of negroes. There is certif
cate of a man named David Zimmerman, who ap
piled for work, as carpenter. He was no poIit-
clan and so declared when questioned by the feder
al agents; but he required to come out fo. the
whig" Ritner. This, of course, he refused to do
and was not employed, although his services were
wanted. Glorious federal times This lransac,
ton ought to be set down as {: Wing Victory"
A paper called the "Centre, Lycoming and
Clear6eld Eagle, has recently abandoned thee
of federal whigism and Ritner, disgusted at the
oppressive conduct of the federal party man
by the name of Stevens, who is agent for part of
the above work, arranged matters so that no bid
from Republican should be received, and declar-
ed that not ga id loco foco should have work.
Thus are the federalIsts, under the false name
of "whigs," reviving the practices of the "reign
of terror" and the glorious federal times of the
" black-cockade."
We have stated only the substance of the iniqui-
tous conduct of the federalsts in this matter, as
published in the paper aforementioned, the editor
of which says :-"What we have stated above are
facts, known to US to be facts, and does any high
minded or honorable man blame US for quitting the
company of such men?"

CANADA.

The fate of the Canadian State convicts, men
toned the week before last, is decided. Three of
them, Chandler, Wait and Mcleod, were to have
been executed the 25th, agreeably to their SEN
tence. Eight others, including Miller and the o.
ther Americans to be transported to some one of
the British colonies for life. Three others to the
Penitentiary for three years. The case of the re-
naming convict, Waggoner, has not been decided
great efforts having been made by his friends to
procure his banishment to the States. The result
may be considered creditable to the British author-
ties, who were urged to sanguinary measures, both
by blood-thirsty British Editors, and some Ameri-
can Editors, who showed malignant spirit, in re-
commencing the execution of all Americans. The
latter had no charity for the errors of their fellow
citizens; no mercy for their countrymen!

NEW ORLEANS.

The Bulletin of the 4th inst says that gang o.
organized incendiaries prowling about the city
of New Orleans. On the night OF the first of the
month, three fires knded in different sections
of the city, about the same hour. Two of the at
tempts were successful; one, the warehouse of Mr.,
G. w. Pritchard, on st. Charles Street, was burnt
with eight hundred bundles Of hay; two hundred
sacks of salt were also destroyed. The other was
the saw mill of Messrs. Dubeys and Turner, which
was consumed, with large quantity Of seasoned
timber and several adjoining buildings.

AFFAIRS IN GUILFORD.

We were offered letter from the merchants oi
Greensboro for insertion in the Standard but as
the gentleman who bore that missive had no au-
thority to alter the phraseology, refused to
ceive it. No personal insult to the editor shall ap-
pear in the columns of the Standard whether writ
ten by the merchants of Guilford or any one else.
Their statements we are willing to insert but the
editor of paper has right expect tina: gentle
men will use similar language to him, that they do
on other occasions. They will be at no loss
Some of the federal papers will be glad of an op-
portunity to insert the unwarrantable language con-
tained in the letter. under the sanction Of the
of the merchants of Greensboro. The letter is
promised in the Register of Monday next, and if
there is an editor of any party in the State, who
would insert such letter addressed to himself, we
hope he will say so.
AS to the affairs in Guilford, our readers may be
assured that we shall do what is right Our sense
of justice to ourselves and to the opposition, will
induce US TO say that informants have failed in
the proof, if the fact shall appear. In the mean
time, we shall take the necessary steps arrive

Mr. MooDY has certainly heretofore voted with that

self to oppose Bank, CLAY, and any Instructions
that might be offered touching the course OF our
Senators in Congress, and that he preferred Mr..

Sub Treasury. Here is an available Wing for the

bited tact or talent, was DR.. Hubbard of Lo-
rain. He has bright eye, and manner of
speaking, well calculated to carry in solid
phalanx his party, against the line of his en-
emy. Mr.. Farran, fiom Hamilton, tall,
black whskered, dark complezioned young
man, with small amount of mind and inteli-
gence, but great zeal in the cause of his par
ty, made halfway conservative speech--an-
ii loco-foco professedly, but having a tenden-
cy to destructiveness.
Ofthe whigf, Mr.Speaker Anthony, q large,
fat, dark compexioned man, with a counte-
nance rather lacking in expression, made a
sensible speech. R. A. Thruston Esq. Of
Montgomery, a young man of small size, but
with strongly marked and expressive coun-
tenance, made an animated, and rather able
speech. Next to Alfred Kelly, Mr.. Thrus-
ton is probably the most efficient speaker in
the House, and he bids fair to become one oi
the great lights of the state. But Mr.. Kelly,
in my estimation, is by head and shoulders,
the greatest man in the Assembly. He is Of
good stature, with q very strongly marked,
but rather severe expression of countenance.
His brow and head would furnish model for
phrenologist. In speaking, he is natural,
distinct, clear in statement, and conclusive in
argument. He is, however, too austere in
manners, and has too much of the Roman in
him to have the influence that his wisdom, and
apparently honest and patriotic intentions
ought to command. His knowledge and tai
ent are abundant to constitute him good
party leader, and yet he is far from being
such. Patrick G. Goode would be far more
efficient in that position. You will please re-
collect, however, that these are only first i'm
pressons, and that if see fit to inAct ano-
ther letter on you, shall take the liberty Of
modifying, or changing the views herein ex-
pressed, according to my own good pleasure.
Our de facto Senator, Bates, will hardly be
found entitled to his seat, unless he can dis
prove what seems to be fully proved-that he
stood canvass for Prosecuting Attorney for
Seneca county within two years of his cleo
ton to the office he now claims. 1t seems to
me he will have to convict himself OF fraud
on the people of Seneca county, in order to
make out the two years residence in the Dis
trict, required by the constitution.

more likely to be too rigid than too leni-

orously executed. In my opinion, the
fate Of Gen. Van Rcnsselael's party is
now decided, unless they can supply
themselves with both munitions and pro-
visions, of war. from Canada, which is
not very probable. Congress are pre-.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 81, 1888.

CANADA WAR.-Bufa!o Ne,os.-The Uni
ted States troops are concentrating upon the
frontier, at and near Buffalo, for the purpose
of aiding in the attempts ofsthe authorities
to enforce the laws of the country, and pre-
serve the neutrality of the United States.
Gen. Scott and Wool are at Buffalo, to which
place they were attended by Gov. Marcy,
who has since returned to Albany. Large
numbers of the militia of New York have
been called out, and are held in readiness to
assist in the preservation of order. On Fri
day night, the 18th inst, heavy cannona-
ding was kept up between the belligerent
parties at Navy Island and Chippewa, which
lasted until two in the morning, with little
damage to the Islanders, some eight or ten
only being wounded, and none killed. On the
night of Sunday, the 18th inst, Navy Island
was evacuated by the Patriot forces. The
cannon belonging to the U. s. returned to
Schlosser, and the small arms handed over to
the custody of Col. Ayres. Up to the 10TH
no clue has been given as to the movements
of the Patriots, after the evacuation of the
Island. 1t is supposed by some that their
destination is westward, and that they have
directed their course in that direction, in de-
tached parties, through New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, intending again to concen,
trate upon Whtewood Island, in Detroit ri
yer, or at some point in that vicinity. a.
The revenue cutter, Erie, arrived at Buffa-
10, on the night of the 18th, in pursuance to
an order from the authorities of the United
States. ......t .... .,att .. N
The Patriot force at Navy Island, at the
time of the evacuation, numbered $40 enrolled
volunteers, and about $50 supernumeraries.
