The North-Carolina standard., 1847-07-28

ed by the proper authorities, and ratified by the
Government of Mexico Nor is il believed the
money viii eversshe called for. But every body,
even Mr.. Kerr himself no doubt believes il is best
tohave Il ready 70 meet any emergency. Il could
call your attention TO other precious scraps aAd
fragments worthy of notice but this might tire both
printer and reader; but must add that the shufd-
ing conduct of Mr.. Kerr may possibly spring from
his yankee notions. My Olive Branch - tells
me that the yankees at the North, some of them at
least, pursued a similar course Of conduct during
our last war with Great Britain /; they were
sometimes for ii and sometimes opposed to it, but
always ,asaiHst and abusing the Administration,
Iaborng substituting necessarily for power and the
reIns OF soVefnnlent: Just with the party novR.
Hence the YANKEES tricks of Mr.. Kerr, who in a
public speech in the.town of Milton, I believe
few years ago said, in effect that such was his high
regard and Veneration for the name of yankee aud
yankeeism, that, iii should ever fall to his LOT To-
appear IN foreign country he should like to pass
under the name OF ankee. He might at that time;
for ausht know, have had his eye directed to some
big appointment like that Of Minister to distant
court. for his friend Harry OF the West was be-
fore the people Of the United States for the office
of President. But it would not do now 10 aDDoint
Mr.. Kerr a Minister to Mexico to conclude
Treaty with that nation, for such is their haired
for the name of yankee that by way Of expressing
their contempt for II the whole American army,
Scott, Taylor, and all viewed and louke ed upon
as yankees and enemies. Such would be the sIiua-
tion OF Mr. Kerr if he was there LIE. us Keep him at
home, then, where we can attend 10 him. and send
Mr.. Venable 10 Congress.
Pause, fellow citizens l may be wrong The
great and constant abuse Of the President and his
administration by Mr.. Kerr, may possibly render
him popular in Mexico; he might be received there
as friend and make good commissioner to con-
clude a Treaty. Let US leave the appointment 10
Mr.. Polk, by whose meanness aud cowardice, SAYS
MI Kerr, this war for conquest was brought on
without necessity, in violation of Constitution,
and is now prosecuted through ambition. The fed
eral Senate OF Massachusetts, said Of The War of
out necessity, and its real object the extension
of territory by unjust conquest See how analogous
these declarations and sentiments are coming as
they do from Yankee Senate at the North, and
would be Yankee member of Congress al the
South. Notice these things, fellow citizens. The
bill declaring that the War with Mexico has been
brought on by her own acts, met with the support
and sanction of large ajority of the members of
congress, who always act upon oath to support the
constitutions. and by their vote they saw upon oath
mind you, ihatsit is constitutional War. Yet, and
strange as 1t may appear, men can be found who
had rather take the simple assertion of Mr.. Kerr
to the contrary, than rely upon the opinions and
acts OF their own Representatives, given on oath
| am aware :hat this address will give offence and
that to6pto some whose habit it Is to speak worse
and morR abusive things of Mr. Venable than |
have said Of his competitor Before they undertake
free men, wish them 10 pause, auu see raT
they have gone. If it should be thought this is
worth any thing, hope those who may get il be-
fore the election will circulate it freely and reco
lect ills from who desires to do his duty his
country, to his constitution, and his Democratic
friend.a Pardon me for writing over the name of
