MR.. HAYWOOD AT HOME.

We have shown how cordially Mr.. Hay
woods course has been hailed BY the Raleigh
Register, the Wing organ of North Carolina,
and how his views on behalf OF "proteclion" have
been pronounced as good Wing arguments"
&c. We now rc.publish the comments of the
Raleigh Standard, the leading Democratic paper
of The same State. Having thus shown the i'm
presson produced upon his own constituents, we
lake pleasure in dropping the subject:
awe lay before our readers today The Address
Of Ex-senator Haywood TO The people OF North
Carolina Mr.. Haywood has right to be heard
IN his own defence and The Democrats OF The
Stat, owe il 10 themselves as we'll as 10 him 10
examine the statements and arguments sci ioTlh
in his Address. When We first heard OF his re-
sieuaron, and after We had given 10 his extraordi-
nary and unexpected conduct due consideration,
we were forced 10 speak Of him in terms, which
we feel confident were acknowledged 10 he just
and proper BY the entire Democratic party Of North
Carolina; and We assure the public that il affords
us no pleasure now 10 state, that, after patient
examination Of his defence, We see no reason 10
change, or even modify our opinion. On The con-
lrary, we are confirmed in our belief that ne act
ed in bad faith towards his party; that ne refused
for no good reasons, 10 remain in the Senate, and
contribute by his vote TO reduce The tar;fftaxes Of
the people Of North Carolina; that he hinched al
a moment when, if ever, he might have proceed
himself Successful supporter Of the Admit
nslraton; and that his course upon this vital
question, so far from emitting him ito the conf
dence, respect and appreciation OF The Democrat
c party" is Justly calculated 10 expose him 10
loss of confidence and appreciation, and 10 The
profound and lasting Indignation OF all genuine
Republicans.
"Mr. Haywood has selected his own position;
the Democratic party remains where il was when
be left it, Thank God it does not depend Tor It's
success upon The course which this or that pnb-
lie man may think proper 10 pursue. It's prnc-
pies will continue 10 be as pure, and lis real adj.
vocates and servants as honest and as much in
earnest as they were when Mr.. Haywood himself
stood in The ranks, and dealt his blows upon the Fe
| deral adversary. We regret his separation from
US; but if be intends 10 adhere 10 The doctrines adj
vanced in his Address, then we say the sooner he
comes on, openly for he Wings The better. For
years he has been caressed and honored By the
Democratic party Of the State. Believing him to
he reliable and sound at heart, and knowing his
usefulness as party man, when ne chose 10 ex-
er himself, many things were overlooked by the
Democrats in that spirit Of charity which seeks
10 advance truth at whatever sacrifice; and al
length he was crowned by his party with the
highest and briehes. honors which his State
could confer upon him in The councils of the
Union. The result IS kno,ra. The country was
startled BY it, and the people OF both parties will
no, soon forget il.
"With MIR. Haywood's motives we have no
thing 10 do. The springs which moved him TO
the performance of the act. which all his friends
regret, and which he must regret 10 the last day
OF his lie, are buried in his own bosom, or per-
haps disclosed in his Address; but it is by that
public act we Judge him, and BY that he must
stand or fall. We have neither charged nor re-
psa'cd The charge that he was bribed by The Ma
nutaclurers: The repetition and circulation OF that
charge was left for certain Wing editors, who
seem all of sudden TO have taken his character
and reputation into their especial keeping. Dis
tant be the day when even The suspicion of bride
~ shall attach itself TO the garments OF any son
of North Carolina.
lowing 10 the crowded state Of our columns,
il is not possible Tor us this week 10 go al length
into an examination OF Mr.. Haywood's positions;
but in subsequent numbers we shall take mp his
Address, when. BY the aid OF TRUTH every point
therein made will be successfully and triumph
anlly met"
