The Tory Papers consider il cur
duty, unpleasant as 1t may be, to expose
the characters and principles Of action Of
the Tory papers in this State. Our object
IL no, personal one towards the individ.
|uals, bat 10 show the people who shey are

i'm in n. Carolina, and what are, apparent.
|ly. their governing principles. For this
|ruruose, we have not refused 10 insert the
|cous,ic communication Of Slave Hold.
ar which will be found IN another column.
In addition to the Editors of tho Stand
ard. Western Carollnian, and Lincoln Re
pnblcau, We learn that the Editors of the
Washington Republican and Halifax Dem.
ocrst. are also Northern meni aud thus Il
aooears that the Editors Of five out of the
nine Tory prints in this State, are Northern
men. who come among US and lmpudenlly
nv TO cast suspicion 90 the views IN regard
| 10 abolition Of native citizens Of North Car
DINA, who have served the State IN respon.
sible situations, and who have been all their
Hives slave holders. These are the men
who falsely charge the Wing party IN
North Carolina with being IN "league
|vith northern abolitIonists.
We also learn from source IN which
ne place the fules, confidence. that PillLO
WHITE, a Navy Agent, 10 the pay Of the
Government, (also Northern Inao,) has,
Nor The last three months, been IN Salisbury,
In. c., engaged 10 Editing, IN whole or IN
Iarr, the renegade "CarolInian " Of that
Eown. Il was only last week that We saw
J The Administration party in the House OF
refuse to allow Mr.. Graves
I o offer a resolution 10 inquire into the cir.
I,umslances under which an Editor Of
tIof, paper IN Kentucky was drawing pay
S,s Clerk 10 the General Post Office
Nod now We hope some one OF our mem.
1ers will move resolution to ascertain
whether Patio White ~ receiving salary

ma the duties Of Navy Agent, but for the
gore important work Of endeasorlng TO rev
u,ionize the Salisbury District IN North
carolina, 10 favor of the Administration, BY
be propagation oi every species OF siaudrr
/ nd falsehood, under a decetIful profession
! 4 fairness aud Impauiabty. We irusi the
secretary Of the Navy vii be required to
ns~er, whether White Is receiving pay ior
bis new branch Of service for Navy
gent aud how long be- Is 10 be engaged
il, and 10 be absen, from his station Of
Pensacola.
| Tbs leads us 10 another view OF the con.
tion Of the North Carolina Tory press
I)f these patriots, The Editors Of the nine
ory papers, one ls District Attorney Of
e L. States, taorth from 6 to 500 dol
ars. It IS sa,d,) anoiher Is Navy Agent,
mother is Deputy Marshall, and aii re.
I'VE several hundred dollars for taking he
Census oi his County another IS priater cf
be Laws and Advertisements, from which

IA IL Postmaster OF the town in which be
res. (and is said TO have received TINT Of
Zee as reward for ap0sta,'zing from the
Wing party; he vent to Washington the
.jior Of Wing paper, and returned The
Editor Of Tory paper, With The comnis
lon Of Postmaster IN bis pocket.)
Such are the men, aud such the means,
by which the Administration operate on
bubble sentiment in Moth Carolina. Az
udeppnden, Press is the last hope Of tree
on. A Press b0ugh, up BY corrupt 60
efnmeut is Of all things The mos, danger
bus 10 the liberties Of the eoGniry. II the
oun,ain is corrupt, ,he stream which flows
J,Op II cannot be pure.
