GOV. MANLY,S CARD


A Card from Gov. Manly, appeared in the ,,s.o
gister, in which he says that the Rockingham r.n.,
men who have given certificates declaring that he ,.a
ground in favor of the White Basis Of Represen,a
tlon' in his speech at Wentworth. on the Goth of
June, misunderstood him, and that he has no donh,
that they honestly believed what they have certified
ih's IS atrlbuting to them thickness of skull which
would have been invaluable to Goliath, in his men,
orabie conflict with David, and which they will mt
consider complimentary. The Governors speech
onfhat OCCASION seems to come up to the Scotchman
definition of metaphysics, who said, when Won h.,-.
man speaking and he does not know what ha :.
speaking about, nor do those who hear him-,h,, :.
metaphysics.
With reference to the question of veracitv. u.
think that Mr. Ruffin has good cause to think Tho,
the Governor taxed him and his associate certifo,.
with Misrepresentation, when he declared So mo;
lively and categoricay, without exception or ,ess,v.
ton, in his letter to Mr.. Gales that the CHARGE tho,
have come out in favor of changing the nrasen. -
sis of representation, under the Constitution - a.
White oas's' either In the Federal or State Govern.
ment, is utterly and unqualifedly fase from what.
soever source itmay have originated or been p,omu
gated"
We have always regarded it as an axiom thu,
the greater number always contains the less, tbonob
two notable exceptions just now occur to u.s. Gen,l
laylors declaration in his message we are at peacs
with all the world and the rest Of mankind, and

Some naughty children went upon the ice to plav.
| They all fell in, and the rest-they ran avyay
Gov. Manly shows wisdom in bowling wilow-ke
before the storm. He does well to parry the blow
for if he received it, full and fair ii would ceave him
helmet and skull. -
| FEELING AT THE NORTH. The Editor of the Pc.
tersburg Daily News, in some remarks 10 his neiob.
Dor of the 1ntegencer expresses his utter wan, of
faith in any probable change in the sentiments of the
people of the North. He evidently knows some.
thing about it. He says:
'The difference between the editor of the Intel,
gencer and ourselves is simply matter of faith. He
expects justice from the Northern people on the slave
ry question. We do not. We have not been unat.
tentive observers of the Of the Northern peo
pie on this question for many years back. We have
lived among them. We have worked in their prin.
ing Offices, and we havee3istened atlheir preachers
We have discussed the subject VIII them at their
Offices, in their counting rooms and at their fresides
We wish it were otherwise, but the people are against
US and our interests Their school books teach the
young to hate slavery and Shareholders. The sacred
desk is profaned day after day by fanaca teachings
of enemies of our institutions. The merchant who
is all smiles to you at his counting room, when he
leaves there at night gees home to ponder over the
frantic exhortations of the independent the Lib
orator. Our people have been imposed upon by rep.
that the number of this class is very few
The reverse is the case The number of those who
are for is very few
