candidates. Take supply Of Tickets with you. and

Inc Ashvlile News, which gave at first reluc

according to white population, and also of abolishup

"Months ago, we said we would sustain the nom

Now, who is 10 be believed! Gov. Manly and
all his Eastern organs deny that he is for the white

A BRIEF COMPARISON.

Now that Gov. Manly has seen proper to sta ke his
word on the subject Of the white and black basis
not only against Col. Reid's but against five of the
most respectable men in Rockingham County-it
may be as well to consult the returns, and from
them how Gov. Manly and Col. Reid stood respec-
lively. two years ago, among their immediate friends
and neghbors, where, Of course, they best known.
In the late Gubernatorial election, Col. Reid made
clear gain over Gov. Manly. compared with Polk
and Clay, of more than SIX HUNDRED votes in
his old Congressional District; while in Chatham,
Gov. Manly's native County, he incurred clear loss
of 253 votes, and in Wake, his adopted County, he
ran SO votes behind Mr.. Clay. These are Jaef',
which it will be we'll for impartial people to consd'
er, when Wing leaders are stalking Gov. Manly's
word against that of Col. Reid, and against the SOL
declarations also, of Eve of the most respeca-
bic men in Rockingham County.
The North-Carolina standard., 1850-07-27
THE WHITE BASIS.

From letter in the Standard of Saturday last, we
perceive that respectable gentlemen have testified that
Gov. Manly did express himself in favor of change
in the basis of representation in the Assembly. This
is charged as having been done at Wentworth, in
speech made there. But it is not stated ,vhen this
speech was made. 'With the lights before us,' we
cannot whether the matter occurred at the
time, or twenty years ago.
But what has this to do with the Governors Elec
ton! Whatever opinion Mr.. Manly may have in
this matter, he has no power over the subject, nor
can ne ever have, as Governor Of North Carolina.
The above, from the last w ilmington Commercial.
"e're' It up p"-though Mr.. Lorine quibbles about
the matter in manner unworthy Of himself or the
occasion.
The Commercial says it is not stated ,cAen this
Speech was made.'' Does not the Editor kno,o that
it was made the 29th day Of June, la50l And does
he not also knov that the $ matter occurred '-not
two years or st twenty year. ago "--but during the
present campagn9 OF coarse he does, and Of eourse
every body does
But the Commercial supports Gov. Manly never
theiess! ls tbs the proof Of Mr.. Lofing's devotion
70 the South? We suppose it is. We suppose we
must judge the Editor by hs works but We have no
idea that the Independent Wings Of The Cape Fear
region will follow HE example. s,
Z. s.. The last Commercial, Just to hand, saws
not oge ,rond for COY. Manly! The Wilmington
Chronicle Of the day before contains Just twenty
ines Of Editorial in behalf of his ExceIIency and
the Asheborough Herald Of tho oath, s as silent as
the grave with reference to the Govsrnoss election.

Occasionally the Raleigh Standard makes remark
upon the dictasion exercised by few Wings about
Raleigh over the Whig party Of the State. The
Reester affects vast deal Of indignation towards the
STANDARD this account, and tries to show that the
Of that paper is preudcial to the interests of
Raleigh. The presumption Of this 'Clique" is un-
bounded. They actually assume to consider them
Nlves to be the whole Of Raleigh, and Raleigh be
the'W whole Of North Carolina. The Standard shows
them up as politicians they cannot understand how
any distinction be drawn between their political
interests and the interests Of the city of Raleigh. The
fact il however, the people Of North Carolina have
more care for the true interests of Raleigh than
this Clique -; and nothing has contributed much
prejudice the interests Of the Capital Of the State,
- the arrogance and assumption Of those who would
bs considered her best and only friends. The ndig-
nation Of the Register towards the Standard is sub
ject Of amusement to outsiders.

A FEW PLAIN QUESTIONS.


nial the subject Of the basis His letter is dated
Morganton, July II, and is addressed to Mr. Gales.
Mr.. Gales no doubt wrote him at length. as to the
charge preferred against him, and also the loss
which such charge, if unexplained, would occa-
| sion to the Whig cause. Gov. Manly, in reply,
writes but twelve fourteen lines, embodying de-
nal of the fact. He explains nothng-he attempts
no explanation. Why is this Did he want time
Was the matter of sufficient importance to be
planned and cleared up! Do not his blindest and
most bitter partizans admit that the Rockingham
statement is of such character to call at least
for explanations from the Governor Yet he makes
none! He simply stakes his word against the decla-
ratons of six men, just honorable and veracious
as himself! Who can believe him
Again: The charge was first made in this paper
on the 10th of July, and proued the Goth. What
were Gov. Manly's Wentworth friends, who heard
his speech at that place, and who have seen the
charge in the Standard of the lOth-wha, were they
doing, that they did not forward with statements
and denials! Yet these gentlemen have not been
heard from, will they be, except in all probab
ty, to confirm the charge. They could not and they
suouM not step forward to declare what was not SO
and they are therefore silent.
Again: The Register and the Star have published
extracts from letters written in that region Of the
State, but there to these extracts. Will
general denio to specific charges suffice, in the judg
ment of intelligent and impartial men! We should
think not. :e. ts.-
Two of the gentlemen who signed the Rocking
ham statement are Whigs Is it reasonable to sup
pose that these gentlemen Mistaken that they
would have done any thing calculated to injure Gov
Manly? Would o. they not have been of the
fact alleged, before signing the statement !-k0
Gov. Manly says, in his Wilkesborough Letter,

Patriot, Wing paper, that Gov. Manly took ground
at Salem in favor Of dividing that Fund according
the white population. Is not that position inconss-
tent with the, positions and declarations" of his
printed Speech -?
The people of the East have a right to demand
that these questions be ANSWERED; and in the
mean time, every Eastern Whig who votes for Gov.
Manly, votes for him, to say the leas, of it, B ,oi-

successive Legislatures have convened, and once al
least Wing Legislature has re-enacted the whole
Scooi law, and this principle Of distribution still
mains. For the part acted, think It has fallen to
my lot to receive more than my share Of abuse. -
Having now prored the charge again upon Gov
Manly that he has taken ground against the black
source. that he is in favor of dividing the School
Fund according to. white population. we now
leave him and the facts Of the in your hands.
Can you trust him. people Of the East! Can you
safely commit your interests to has, keeping! Are
you sure he is sound Is there not at least some
doubt, in Eastern Whig minds, to whether his de-
nial. above given, is well-founded? To doubt in a
like this, and still vote for Gov. Manly. Is to
plunge into durksaess- perhaps to ruin! :.
Let the East be warned in time. Let the Eastern
people remembers they go up to the ballotbox that
Gov. Manly is the o. first Governor of the State
who has ever attempted to array the West against
the East; and that though he denies the fact, it
is prored npon him by his competitor, and by Eve of
the most respectable men in Rockingham County.
These six men just respectable, just as honor
able, just as veracious as Gov. Manly. SIX to one
let the people of the State decide!
Gov. Manly's utter desperation has driven him to
this denial. He saw defeat staring him in the face
he saw the East deserting him by thousands, ac-
count of his dangerous and reckless course; and
hence this feeble attempt of his to stay the tide
Vain attempt! The people hare jound him out, and
he is doomed.
One grand rally, brother Democrats, AND THE

good news for REID! TO tho polls, then. as one

OUR SEMI.WEEKLY.

IhlS number OF the Standard WILL close our Semi
weekly issues for the present. We have now print
ed twice a week, for some six weeks, without any
extra. charge to our subscribers but if we have
thereby contributed in any degree to the advance
ment Of Democratic principles and the success Of
Col. Reid, We shall feel that we have been amply
remunerated for onr additional expenditures and la
bors.
Is it not strange that while the Wings have here,
at the seat of government, two weekly papers and
one semi-weekly. the Democrats cannot sussan one
semi-weekly. Now that our hand is in, we feel
like keeping on, and indeed we fear we shall grow
little rusty with weekly sheet; but then we have
not had sufficient assurances or encouragement to
justify % in continuing semi-weekly issue. We
shall therefore Ego ahsad according to the old
