dealing in making quotations from Northern 5oli-
tion papers, claiming the result of the elect in
this State as Free Soil Triumph, this giyine eur
rency and endorsement to a statement whiclthey
must know to be false. The Fayetteville Obrver
charges us with inconsistency, in not denorsing
democratic papers under similar circumstance It
says that &c a year ago it was the common psctice
of the Standard, and other organs of the Demracy
to quote these papers against the wings" NV, a

ask could be better calculated to give aid andcom-
fort to the Free Sellers of the North than sch an
assertion universally made by the organs of ne of
the great parties of the State We know of nothing
And consequently, upon the authority of the Yhig
press of North Carolina, find the National anti
Slavery Standard and other abolition papers CHM

their coadiutors in this State copying articles the
misstatements of which, (to harsher or hort
er word) originated with themselves.
