INFAMOUS SENTIMENTS.

We Iepubli.h from The Raleigh Standard the
following whitening denunciation Of the course OF
paper, which, in lis blind opposition 70 De-
mocralic Administration, would make the Old
North State mockery and disgrace in The eyes
of her sister States. II Is Notifying 10 see such
unblushing avowals in Southern journal, which
boasts Of its true "HA,g" principles. They bel
ter suit The region Of Hartford Convention plots,
than the soil CT North Carolina, which never fall
tered when the voice Of The country was heard
The present case furnishes another melancholy
proof Of the virulence OF party feeling. Rather
than see The Administration sustained in its lau.
dable purpose Of prosecuting the war with vigcr
in order TO secure peace, this would-be "Whe
journal would sacrifice The honor oi lis Stale and
the blood and treasure of the Union. Whigprin-
ciples must be weak, indeed, when they require
such champions the nation is called upon
to refuse It's aid TO the constituted authorities in
the hour of war, because The officers elected by
the people To carry out great measures OF COM
mercial reform have tearlessly done their duly,
and boldly passed the ordeal, unseduced and un-

The President Is in favor Of equal and JUS
laws for one and ALI and because Of this he is
denounced By Southern Wing paper q,
having wantonly involved The country in wal
because of this the people are appealed TO, 10 play
The coward and traitor, and 10 refuse 10 come &c
their countrys aid, in the midst Of war which
was forced upon US.
But 10 the article Of the Raleigh Standard
9TH. last Greensborongh Patriot teens with
The most infamous sentiments in regard 10 The ex.
isting war with Mexico. That paper not only
pronources the war 'unrighie0uS,' but il calls up
on the Wigs of North Carolina 10 pause before
they enter The regiment 10 be made up in this
State! II SAYS, as the Federaliss of 1879 did,
TAI, /, the p esiden.'s war-not the PsopleI uar'-
and II asks if the President expects American

That pa per-apd be il remembered, II IS lead

as follows:

upon him to stand forth, until the gaze OF an in.
