The Raleigh star and Edward ston1y.

We clip the following from the Raleigh Star of Sd
April The Editor is commenting upon the speech
of Mr. STANLY, recently delivered in the House of
Representatives, upon the slavery question The
Star is Wing paper but goes with the South on the
slavery question. Mr.. STANLY is Wing, as every
body knows. In the speech which the Star is COM
menting on, Mr.. STANLY said that if the people of
Nashville do their duty when the delegates to the
Southern Convention assemble there, They WW
drive every traitor into the Cumberland Rirer.' We
have before referred to this Speech and shall not Of
fer any comments upon it now
1t is unfortunate that Mr. STANLY has not been
able to perceive the extent of the aggressOns actual
ly perpetrated and threatened by the North against
the South that he too lightly regards the grev-
ances of the latter enormously attributes the ex-
element at the South to designing factious spirit
and thus gives encouragement to the fanatics-the
very men whom in another part of his speech, he
so eloquently and sharply rebukes. We do not be-
lieve there are half a dozen intelligent men in
North Carolina, who agree with Mr. STANLY in
the opinion that " this agitation, this attempt to
excite alarm, is altogether now it was last
mer, in the Southern States, for party purposes
and we are glad to see the Register, of this City
which is far from giving any countenance to any
undue agitation, and would be among the last to do
injustice to MIR. STANLY, plainly and frankly ex-
presses it's dissent from this assertion and boldly
af6rms that & the South has suffered gross wrongs
- that her rights under the Constitution have been
wantonly and shamefully violated. On this point
Mr.. STANLYs own immediate constituents differ
widely from him, if the solemny expressed opinions
of the ''sOber, patriotic and conservative" Wings
of HYDE County be taken as evidence of what the
people believe in that DISTRICT

Bad Taste.

1t is understood that Mr. WEBSTER and Mr.. Dick

seems to be expected by that, on their return
from the discharge of that solemn duty, they will
stop in Wilmington to participate in of festvi
ty and mirth in fact that they will be present at
WEBSTER and DICKINSON ball, to be given in their
honor. We do sincerely hope that such violation
of good feeling and proprety will be committed
that these aged men, returning from the grave of one
associated with them through many long and try
ing years, will not shock the moral feeling of the
community by so rapid transition. Nor, standing

SAFETY SIR JOHN FRANKL1N-A telegraphic
dispatch from our Baltimore correspondent, dated on
Saturday last gives the gratifying intelligence
that the NewYork Commercial Adrertjser of that
day, contains a letter from St Paul, Minnesota an
nouncing the safety of Sir John Franklin.
This intelligence will be received with the great
est qualification throughout the whole civilized
world The interest that has been expressed in
England: on the fate of this bold explorer of I'M
known regions-the munifcent rewards that have
been offered for any information respecting him
the exhibition of heroism, and attachment, and per-
severance of his lady, who has by her indomitable
efforts to from peril or learn the fate of her
husband created most intense feeling throughout
the whole world-has thrown around the name of
Sir John Franklin a romance, that apart from the
information which his perilous voyages may contrib
ute to knowledge of heretofore unexplored regions
will cause every phianthropic heart to bound with
pleasure. We await further details to learn the par
ticulars of this gratifying intelligence:
