THE STANDARD AND TILE UNION.
The last Greensborough Patriot has some very
able and courteous remarks upon an editorial
which recently appeared in the Ralsigh Standard
defining it's position in relation 10 the exciting
questions Of the day. The Standard ssys that
his sIiirIe was apsnned alter much reaeeiion.'
and his Language selected and weighed careful
Iy;' but the Patriot thinks that the resul, is
rather to mis:ify than 10 render explicit the WI
ier's .posilisn.'P I, is len so undsiiaed and
loose. and 50 depending upon circumstances. tina,
the Patriot. in inquiring for t. is reminded Ofthe
faddled penoasge asking about the miik--"is il
in any thing. or 10 il lying about loose" We are
deferred from publishing the whole Of the Pa
iriots article, on account Of its length; we. how
ever, quote ihe following;
In conclusion. we would remark lhal
we have sympathy with South Carolina.
in go Gar IS she has common cause az
complaint with her southern sister Stairs.
We understand the situation. Of her peo.
pie. in the midst Of vast and increasing
population of blacks. Who have been as
signed by nature. By custom and neeessi-
~ To mn inferior grade m serial life; and
whose uncnllivaled appeiiles and passions
are liable 10 be excited TO the mot fright
fnl results We abominaie while we are
slso asionishrd nj that rsving fanalicism
which would attempt To drag. as with an
iron harrow, all classes and all soririy al
the South down upon level. We de-
test The interference Of strangers who do
mol understand the condition and relations
Of southern socieIy. and who have no hu.
siness here excepl that which is imposed
by impndeni sell conceii or false philan-
lhropy. Az people. distinct in our Sc
veral political organizations. we claim The
ability. and have expressed the settled
purpose. 10 manage our own aflairs in ouI
own way, under the constitution rf our
common country.
But with South Carolina in her seress
sion movement we can have no sympa-
Thy. The slavery excitement 70 only
used BY her leaders as an ercuse for ,heir
conduct. Disafieciion has been ranking
IN their veins ever since the days of Null
LITIGATION. when purely political causes
were made the excuse for movement
similar 10 that which they threaten now.
We" utterly rep.diale and sbhor" their
purposes. They appear 10 us foolish and
mad. They would precipiIaIe their STATE.
aud The Union, and The !. peculiar insliiu.
lion" which they desire 10 protect, into
the vortex Of inevitable destruction.
The only safety for the administration
of the 8, STEM Of slavery is under The Con
siilulion uf the United States. The Two
races will no longer dwell together in safe.
" beyond the pale oi our constitutional
Union; and il is he part Of true philan-
lhropy 10 cherish that Uninn, which in
sures peace and order and progressive i'm.
provemeni 10 all. Take away The Fede.
raj Egs and remove The Banner Of the
Union from the South. and The institution
Of domestic serviiude, together with all
society and all pol,ii al organic ,iion with
which il is interviewer, will lie open to
tack from every quarter oi The world.
And especially. so far as the neighboring
States of the North ATE concerned. you
nol only take from The mass of ronserva.
tive and righi-Ilinking men every oblisa.
ZION TO restrain The netldesnme and bad
am pg Them. bui YOU invite and excite
their fanatics 10 interference and attacks
the consequences al which we shudtlct
To contemplate. Now we have con.
siltuIion aud laws, The results of common
connsels and mutual good will. for our
projection and safety. But, separating f,r
the cause assigned. we should fhe,, have
moi even the stipulation OF treaty in "a
vor Of our claims. The threat of separa.
tons i mol only irailorous, il is prepos-
ierons too.
u may be well enough Tor !" the Chiyal-
ry" and The Raleigh Standard 10 look ca
gerly forward 10 The period when cline
(lhe lime nf the Union) will be no more. /"
.dfiy turn 10 the wheel Of public affairs
may give them such distinction as they
coSet in days of trouble and turmoil. Blu,
the masses Of our peome-ihe yeomanry
Of the country. inheriling each few ser
wants. spot Of land where they live
peacefully and dependenlly. educating and
raising up viriuous offspring to protect
their common country and adorn its his
tory IN the future; you need not waste
your breath ia preaching disunion and
treason 10 such men as these! They are
too intelligent Ia be deceived; TOO honest
to be corrupted; and possess passive
strength which caanot be overcome BY the
turbulent and ambitious spirits Of The day. T
