Of he Register. or the editor Of the Re
eisler in our wake. 10 matter we have
never thought Of inquiring into. We
hase pursued an open. straight forward
course. honestly advocating, with what
ability We possessed. such measures a.,
in our opinion, we're best calculated %
promote thc interests Of the country.
And now. after lapse Of iweniy-three
years % arduous ,oa y our vocaiions. We
trust that we have ~ 10 begin 70 aeon
slider these ,hings; and having never
nandled over .ihe ruis and gaIlies Of
political deception and Inconsistency"
ne have hope that. our " hereafter" will
confer no discredi upon the course which
our conscience and better judgment"
have so long sanctioned.
Being thus fortified. we shall take lit
lie heed 10 the lecture which the new cdr
ior Of the Standard has attempted 10 be-
stow upon US. He may well ask, {. Who
made him Gus] the ssddle-horss 70 the

ieader' Who gave George E. Badger the
righy.a crack the whip Of party discipline
over - venerable and long tried saddle
horse 7" Yes. Who'll Aud how have
",he Raleigh Juno" managed to impose
their "fe,lers" upon usl They have adj
rsnced " no money; they have procured
for Us no subscribers; they have made us
no promise Of Office; they have written
70 Us 20 fattcring epis,les; they have moi
even jeigned 10 communicate their or
dss. Does lhe experience Of The editor
Of the Standard enable him 10 inform us
whether tha. is the way they procure
"saddle.horses" in Raleigh!
The editor. without perceiving il. does
US but justice when he says we do seer
tain things occasionally which are not a.
all necessary TO the vindica,ion Of our
own consistency, or the success Of our
parry" We hope we shall always have
higher objects in ,iew Than the success
of "our pariy;" and il will be time
enough 10 vindirste our consistency"
when il is likely 10 be assaulted.
But how have We given offence. and
so greatly /" aslonished'' the editor Of the
Standard lie tells US: We have very
eompliaa'iy copied several articles from
the Raleigh Register; and We have lately
capped The climax by publishing The
numbers OF "A Republican Democra,'!'
He PROCESSES 10 attach very little impor.
lance TO these papers; bu, nevertheless
he appears to be wonderfully disturbed
by them. What better evidence need
we that they contain many truths?
But why should we not publish them!
We have nc reason to think there is any
deception; indeed we have assurance that
they were written, as they profess TO be-
by Van Buren, Democrat. They exhl'
bi! no more violence against the other
wing Of the Democracy, than the Cal
hOun Democrats are prepared 10 serve up
in reply; and il they proceed to the ex'
,remity of The Kilkenny cats, we do MOI
know tina, we shall be able TO she'd sin
gle tear over The result.
