-, amusing circumstance of the day, is
The .,U into which the Editor Of the Register
the Pos .n squeezed by the pending controversy
bas De Messrs Rayner and Loring-the former
betwtr been,on plaintiff, and The latter Defendant. la
geprr ",ner of the Cd instant the Editor OF the he
gister says ,br.b
IL statement Of one, and not of the other, our
60 w. ris that lre published Mr. R0yneT'S denial
ans~ Communication 0Uer his o1on signature
as asSout volunteering to make ourselves party 10
WlU"n,roversy on either side. What we may do,
the inNs.aoNer, will depend upon what we may deem
he.e,ired of US by the state of the case" u
and what next, honest readerl The Editor
avs he published for Mr. Rayner and not for Mr..
=, arm signature "-and is it not most clearly
;~nied, that if Mr. Loring will do the same he
.baII also be heard in the RegisterF Well-what
s.,,a Mr. Loring does write his reply, and re-
,os,, the Register TO publish it with his name at
q4S.bed-and what is the Registers answer2 Here
it's:
uory hitter article against Mr.. RAYNER, in which
% Editor reviews that gentleman's Communica-
@ IN this paper and re-asserts all his former allie
na'ions, and declares them to be true Mr.. RAYNER's
Contradiction 10 the contrary Notwithstanding. In
coucusion the Editor requests US to copy his arti-
cIe which we must positively decline
command; aud
'OdI 2dIu. Because the "Slandard," (whose circu-
Isfioo ranges pretty much with our own has given
an er pdrte coloring to this controversy. If the
"Standa.d" had published MIR. RAYNERs Com
munication, then we should feel under some Obli-
cation to copy Mr.. LoRINe's rejoinder.
But while we take this stand, we must be al
loved to say, that, towards Mr.. LoRING, personally
We have the kindest feelings and we cannot but
regret sincerely, that the Editor of a Hhig pa
per, he should have thought proper to provoke g
controversy with one of the most ethclent and use
ful men of the Wing party in North Carolina"
He refuses to publish for MIR. Loring, yfrst be
cause he has Press at his own command, an;
secondly, because the Standard has given an ca
parte coloring to this controversy" Did you
rer! Why, what has tie Standard TO do with
The matter2 And if the charge be true that tn
Standard "has given an e1 PGrte colorlng to the
coutroversy," is not that the very reason why th.
Register should come forward with both sides
and thus do equal justice between its brother
Whigs2 Again: d" because Mr.. Lorlng has G
Press at his own command" Very true. Blu
then has not MIR. Rayner dozen Whig Presse!
in the State at his commando The Register
excuses for not publishing Mr.. Loring's reply
NAV be summed up as follows:
lst. Because wouldn't
2nd Because couldn't.
3d. Because Mr.. Rayner wouldn't let me-
4Lh. Because Mr.. Loring is nOnO editing (
"Whig" paper, and is not thought of for Govern
or, but Mr.. Rayner Is
5M. Because, all other reasons aside, know
from glorious experience, how man feels whel
he is talked of for Governor, and could not there
fore admit any thing into my columns calculated
in the slightest degree, to rufle the temper of m,
friend from Hertford.
AS the Register has refused to publish for Mr
Loring, and as the Editor Of that paper seems de
termined to force US to do justice to one of hi
brother Wings, while he takes charge Of th'
other, we have spread the reply of the Senio
Editor of the Commercial before our readers il
to-day's Standard. 1t will be found. on our frs
page.
