cned the country people out of~their wits" and
deferred strangers from visiting The Ctyro He
then charges-us with having notified the people
" in print !" that Raleigh was ga charneI-house,"
and that it was fatal" to enter it, whereas, we
distinctly stated that the epidemic which prevailed
here was just what the people had in all the sur
rounding country, and that there was no more
danger in visiting Raleigh than there was in 60
ing to>any other point in the county. We went
still further. We expressly inrited our country
friends to. visit the City; and yet the Register
would have his readers believe that we consider
ed Raleigh a charnel house, and that our word
! had gone oht that it was fatal to come here!
Call:you that fairness, MIR. Rcgister2 Call you
that common honesty2 You cannot equivocac
| You shall not. There are the extracts staring
you in the face, to convict you've will not say
of what. More than this Weexpressly admit
ted in our Article last week, that Raleigh was a
"salubrious spot" and that the statement of the
Register as to the interments between December
and April, was frye ;, and yet he comes out and
insists upon both these points, just as if we hal
disputed them! What logicianl What COLI
elusive reasoningT"
But why has not the Register stated the num-
Der of deaths in Raleigh since the Sd Of April2
This was what we corrected in Or last, and his
deceptive statement, dozen 10 Me Sd Of april, COM
PEELED US, from a regard for common truth and
Justice, to notice his remarks. The Star has pub
lished twenty deaths since the first of April-wlll
the Register even now candidly admit that the
Star is correct?
The Register calls upon us, with an air of tri-
umph to point out any one case of Black
Tongue" which has occurred in Raleigh. We
must decline a response to the call. We have
made no such statement on our owe responsibility,
nor have we argued upon the subject We spoke
last week upon the authority ofa respectable Ply
sician, Dr. N L. STITH, and we gave, for good
purposes. to our readers such extracts from mpdI-
cal writer's upon the disease rs were furnished us
by him and we have yet to see an answer to
those extracts.
So far as we are concerned we are desIrous that
this unpleasant matter should be dropped here
But for the remarks. of the R"gister-which were
calculated, if not intended to dcceivc-we should,
perhaps, have said nothing. Our country friends
may depend upon the Standard at all times for
the truth in these matters, as in all others. AMI
