TOT Of The STANDARD in his last ruhhcr quotes from
The Raleigh Register and ne Philadelphia News
two short paragraphs, which speak OF Henry X
Nash as gallant young Wing, hotly contrasting ia
this district with " the disunionisi ycnable," with
fair promise Of defeating that iactionist aud
disorganzer;" and makes them text for a short
itcle, no, intended to enlighien bis readers, hut
to create The false impression TINT the Wings Of
the South are ready 10 stSrteaIer every thing,
Sc fai rs slavery S concerned" 70 the Abolition
lists Of the North. Such an insiRuaiion comes
with an i'll grace from an editor whose partisans
in all the states North have united wilh the Free.
Sellers il an organized opposition to the present
administration; but as the columns Of the Stan-
dard contain no traces Of these coalitions, few
Of its readers will be made 10 blush for the du.
plicity of its editor.
An editor in the eastern section Of the Slate,
because his favorite was not elected 10 the United
States Senate in 1910, displayed his disappont-
ment and msigniy BY inquirins WHO'S William
A. Graham! ThcpeoptS answered the question,
w hore TO the satisfaction q the editor. With
spirit equally amiable the Standard now asks
And who, pray, is this Henry X. Nash
What claims has he on the people Of the Orange
District, What public service has he ever rem
dered Where are the memorials either Of his
industry, his business hahi,s, his soundness as an
! American Republican, or Of his abilities poll
tician OF a Statesman !"
These questions might be easily answered.
Mr.. Nash is native citizen Of North Carolina,
has represented the county Of Orange in the IL,
gisaiure, is extensively knowhfor his talents and
capacity, and in ls43 came within l55 votes Of
beating ]. K. ]. Daniel for Congress, in District
largely Democratic. Certainly the people Of this
district do not need to be told who Henry h.
Nash is.
But the STANDARD goes on 10 ask
Docs Nc net, al This very moment, present 10
the people submission on fhe sldmry question
And does lie not stand ready, should the North
demand it, and Northern and Western Whigism

Of Stdtes worth living under and upholding
There is not an intelligent man in the district
who does not know that The insinuations con :
, tanned in these questions are made without the
slightest foundation in truth, and that MIR. NASH
: Il elected to Congress, would as promptly and q
I theoretically sustain by his votes and his elo-
quence, the rights of the South, as Mr.. Venable
!, has ever done. He venerates the Union, ana
will do all that patriot can do 10 sustain IT, DC
cause he thinks the preservation Of our liberties
is inseparably connected with its continuance
! But as Southern man, he viii not be less earn,

zeal we hope he always win be, to permit nun :"
