Mr.. TsFANDY,s SPEECH.

MR.. STANEY,E SPEECH.
i The Register says the atone Of tho Standard" il
reference to Mr. Stanly 3 hate Speech, ss unfair an
mpertinent in til. extreme, 2, while at the same tim
that paper expressly refains from forming :.
pressing any opinion upon its merits That s rich
The Register has formed opinion about this tiIad
OF insoence and treason, and yet the tone Of this pa
per in regard to it is {" unfair and impertinent! >
We suppose according to that that ought to have
waited until that paper had been graciously pleased
to express it's opinion, for or against.
| We distinctly stated that we should publish Mr.
Stanys remarks at length, in due time and our ex.
tracts from it were made from the Republic, the
Whig organ at Washington, and paper which, in
publishing his remarks, commended them in the
highest terms. Was that " unfair" We spoke in
terms Of deserved Indignation of Mr. Stanys effort
generally-we spoke as we have heard many Wings
In this community speak, and we characterized it
an embodiment of any thing but the sentiments Of
his constituents. Was that s. impertnent
But the Register charges with having " capped
the climax of erontery'' in expressing the opinion
that the people of Mr.. Stanlys District ought to in
struct him to resign his seat 1t says are attempt
ing to dictate to that people. How absurd! We only
expressed an opinion, and in that opinion we are
sustained by at least press in Mr.. S,anly's Dis
rict which speaks in this matter for Wings as we'll
as Democrats. The last Newbern Republican says
We assert without the least fear of contradiction
that this Congressional District is most shamefully
misrepresented. Not the Democrats alone-they had
no hand in putting him where he is-tut the Whigs
repudaie his doctrines. We insisted before the cleo
on that the question of slavery in its various ra,n-
cations was the only question worthy of notice in the
canvass. MIR. Stany old party friends elected him.
Principle, by the Wings, was little consulted. The
great question has come up, and they find themselves
in false position If the Wings of this District
will regard principles instead Of men, they ,vN sacri-
flee his traitor, and Indignantly bid him to resign the
seal ,chich he lOriosiy fills. 1t is due them
selves, their rights and the South, and to the North
too, to speak out at once and boldly. They mis-
represented they have been deceived they must take
tho lead in placing the District in its proper position
before the country. The democracy are not respon-
sibe; they had nothing to do with his election.
Again say that if the Wings of this District will
do justice to themselves, they ,ciN bid Mr.. anIy
sign his seat, and consgn him to the infamy he so
richly deserves.''
The Newbernan Of the same date expressly re-
frains from comments on this Speech IS until we have
full report of it, and in another part of that paper
the Editor, in evidently carefully prepared article,
says: Submission to rrong but invites to fresh ag
gre,sion. Encroachmenl upon the rights Of peo-
pie must be met by remonstrance, warning, resist
ance, and, if need be, baptism of the soil which
they tread with the best blood of that people. We
then, suJn.issionisty adrocates gf submis-
s:on." Mr.. Stanly says that the words submit and
resist not in his vocabulary; that North Caro-
lima is for the Union, Wilmot Proviso no Wilmot
Proviso; and that if the people of Nashville do their
duty when the Delegates the Southern Convention
assemble there, they ,viN drive epery traitor into the
Cumberland rirer." The Newbernian is not for sub
mission-Mr. S,anly is. The Newbernian is no.
prepared to denounco the Nashville Convention as
an unlaw full and reasonable assemblage-Mr. Stanly
does and in effect declares that he is for the Union
under all circumstances and to the last extremity.
Does Mr.. Ssanly represent the Newbernian! Ought
he not, at once, to resign his seat! Does the Regis
ter justify him! Will that paper dare to endorse
his Speech!
Mr.. Stanly, though repudiated at home, no doubt
expects his reward. We shall sec whether General
Taylor will give him a Foreign Mission, or some
other appointment. Neil S. Brown, who preached
submission in Tennessee, and who was rejected by
the people, has received his reward; and why should
not Mr.. Stanly!
