THE ORGAN ASHAMED OF RS FRIENDS.
Nota single Speesh Il sisssrs ID she late Whie
Contention is published lbY tie Register asi, was
delivered 10 that body. Every one had some fault
that the esitiqhe organ did not like; and each has
been altered, we presume, suit its exquisite taste.
First, the Governor, in ealegizing the s. Central
Clique''-he seems desarnineif 10 smnd by that
said, " if such men as the Wings Of the Centre had
been found in Sodom at the time of it's visitation YER
lily that OLD LocoFoco Town would not have been
destroyed" This produced immense applause from
$ the Centre" The Register, however, has seen fit
to strike out Locdoco'' and insert 'ssoicked" Now
why this, if it be not that that paper is ashamed
of this remark in the Speech of its candidates From
the particular tone and emphasis with which the Gov
ernor uttered this remark, one would have supposed
him exactly we'll pleased with ii; and that he thought
it peculiarly appropriate. The Speech had been
written out before it delivered and this part de-
liberately inserted. Will the Governor allow the
Register to tamper with his literary productions after
this sort
The Speech of Mr.. Morehead, the President of the
Convention, has also undergone at the hands of the
organ, as great change. The first sentence of this
Speech, We are informed, in substance as fol-
lows: Gentlemen, the kindness of your partiality
and the parality of your kindness, which has drawn
me to deliberate over this body, has struck TO my
heart. When saw the sun rise this morning, (forI
did it rise,) had more thought of celebrating
over this body than had of any thing else in the
world.' And again: In speaking of the Slavery
question: the President alluded an'' the de-
sert rising South Of the Potoac. All this is strick
en- from his Speech, published in the Register, and
a new Speech made. In his valedictory, the Pres-
dent, as we are Informed, said: ss Yon have been
pleased to notice me in terms of kindness, and also
my brother, John M. Morehead, who bore the Whig
banner from the sands the seashore to the coud
elapped' submits of the mountains in the West"
Not syl liable is mentioned of this burst of elo-
quence the people kept in utter ignorance that
any such flight ever took place. The Register ap-
propriates this style of oratory ITSELF and dslikes
that any one should trench its department.
Of Mr.. Ken's Speech the organ attempts no exhi-
bion, and perhaps it was well both for Mr.. Kerr
and the public. We have heard that some prominent
Wings looked upon it as violent Speech, offensive
both to Wings and Democrats. Of Mr.. Miller's we
repeat. it is not published as it was delivered; and
no one who heard the delivered Speech, and reads
the printed one, will say that they and the
same.
Mr.. Rhodes's apology for the Wihnot Prouiso is al
so kept in the dark.
The Register will have its hands full, if it dis
charges the duties both of organ' of the party and
composer of Speeches. We say again, that paper is
ashamed to publish the Speeches as they were delv
cred by its friends.
! "RETRENCHMENf AND ECONOMY"
The following claims against the Government
have been allowed and paid, against usage and with
out authority Of Iaw, by Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet
Here is the listjust look at it, honest people Of
North Carolina, and ponder upon il:
| The Fancia claim, 100000; the Barron claim,
$4,000; the Ewing claim, $77, 900; the Alabama
claim, $50, 900 the Allen claim, $55 900 and the
HUGE GALPHlN CLAIM, one-haf Of which was paid to
the Secretary of War, amounting to upwards of ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DoLLARs-the entire claim being
over TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS! All these
claims have heretofore been rejected by all Admins
tra,ions to which the claimants have applied but
this retrenchment and economy-loving Administra-
tion thinks nothing, these facts show, of taking
the public money to feed the Cabinet
No wonder Mr.. Clayton is fat and funny. No
wonder the Secretary of the Interior Tolls cush-
ioned divans in eliptical saloons. No wonder the
Secretary of War is getting rich as Dives faring
sumpuously every day''-,chen the people pay for it
But Mr.. Manly says this is all right and that Gen.
TAYLOR and these men are but in the b" discharge of
their duty.''
Do you recoliect, people of North Carolina, the
charge against Gen. Cass, of receiving money while
he was Cabinet officer upon his own claim! Do you
remember that charge false, and that the contra
ry was the truth He refused to receive it for this
very reason and did not take it until sufficient time
after he ceased to be Cabinet officer had elapsed for
it to be allowed yet there end to the abuse
which was heaped him-no end to the ISLANDERS
which were uttered against him. Gen. Taylor said
it was necessary to reform men and measures. In
carrying out this reform his Attorney General gives
opinion in favor Of claim, his Secretary of the
Treasury pays it, and his Secretary of War pockets
large portion Of this gotten gain and this is the
sum and the substance Of this wholesome reform
One thing is certain, if this of reform is carried
on much longer, no more reform will be necessary
for there will be no money in the Treasury to be
protected by reform.
Mr.. Manly and the Wing leaders of this State say
this is all right-that Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet
are the very men for them. What say the homes,
people! r
i "LET HIM THAT STANDETH," &c.
i That unfortunate expression of Gov. Manly's, in
the late Wing Convention, in avhich he compared The
Democrats to the inhabitanls Of Sodom, has excited
general indignation among the plain and unassumine
peoDle of the countrv Thew reuard az an avidonce
