The North-Carolina standard., 1850-07-20

compelled to pursue in the gubernatorial election
we said /" the dogs of the party would be let loose
upon US :" we should be hunted down. Our predic-
tions have been verified. Dog No. l, opened upon
and is called the Raleigh Times. Dog No. 2, as
we expected, is the Raleigh Register But Dog No.
decidedly. is the AshuiAe Messenger. This we did
not expect. 1t is the unkndest cat of all. We had
right to expect that decent dogs would be employed
in the hunt least such had heretofore the char
acter of doing execution elsewhere than in the sheep
fold. Bitter is modification that such quadru-
ped has been selected by the Raleigh Clique to hunt
down and read the good people of Rutherford coun-
ty their duty. A paper mendaclous. vulgar
that scarce decent family in the county will permit
it to be brought within its doors, and which selects,
as interesting items of news to be communicated to
its readers the marriage of the o,oest and most dbased
free negroes, to be selected by Gov. Manly to dictate
to the people of Rutherford county their duty Really
it is too bad. But it is in perfect consonance with
the Governors conduct. 1t is said that he rdicued
the people of Rutherford in the Convention-made
sport Of and ghed at pretensions to be re-
gaIded entitled any benefits from taxes paid by
ourselves Having so low an opinion of us, he of
course would employ such an agent to take US in
charge.
s ofhe strange things occurring every day that
the most contemplate means, sometimes produces i'm
portant results, and is illustrated in something that
is told of the Editor of the Messenger. Tis said that
when the Buncombe resolutions, which SO complete
ly condemned Gov Manly, reached Raleigh, that they
gave his nomination up. The Editor OF the 11essen-
ger went down the Clique got roond him, found his
price, bought him up by making him Vice President
of the Convention Oh what an honor !-and he then
gave the lie those resolutions, which he had parti
cpated in passing, and represented the West al
most unanimous for Manly. And this miserable
creature is now to tell the people OF Rutherford their
duty. When did he advocate the interests Of
Rutherford! In what did he exhibit his friend
ship? But we will stop. and beg pardon OF our read
for having troubled them with filthy subject.

That SAME ADDRESS. 1t seems that Gov Manly
submitted his address, after its delivery before the
Convention, TO the pruning process; rather submit
ted it to his I" RIGHTEOUS CLIQUE of seven who SUBJ
ectea it to the aforesaid process. 1t has leaked out
that he spoke in harsh terms against those who had
found fault with him for his locating both
the Plank Road and the Western Turnpike-that he
was especially upon the Rowan Indignation
Meeting held some time ago-that DENOUNCED
and RlDicu1ED the claims Of tie people Of Rutherford
and those Counties ,vhich opposed his action in regard
to the location Of The Turnpike, &C., &c.
Why this done who did itl Was it the
righteous seven - or the Governor himself: the
editor of the Register? In the address, as printed,
none Of those subjects are mentioned. Why attempt
to practice deception upon additional insult
Verify, we believe it would have required the light
eousness - of 700 snch combined in seven, to have
saved such wicked city as that of Sodom.

The RALEIGH REGrsrER. Being Dog No. 2,
which has opened upon u.s. has kindly made
to the Democrats That paper has published every
thing which has been could be said against US,
and never word we said in our defence. 1t
published Gov. MANLY s. trium phant vindication -
and did not publish charge reply. 1t
published several communications directed TO and
against US, and did not publish reply, though
specially requested to do so. The grossest injustice
has characterised its course u.s. But could We ex-
pect any thing better! Whoever saw a generous
act in the Register? Whoever saw generous course
pursued What reader of that paper expects to
find it the advocate of truth and honesty! Hopeless
imbeclity. and the most miserable and Disgusting
toadysna have been the nvariabe characteristics of
that sheet, which has proved the greatest the
Wing party has ever had to endure in this State.
