HE hAbEiGH STANDARD. HE last NUMBER OF
ne Standard contains an article Of remarkable
We might say Observation-Disclosures, directed against the
ournal and the humble Editor thereof We have
lot time to reply to this long article at large,
Ind, when we do hope our reply will be char
lcterized by spirit becoming Democratic Editor,
when he may happen TO differ in opinion with
brother Of the faith. The article Of the Standard is
The very reverse. The editor accuses of promot-
ing discussions in the Democratic party, and of
lacking Gov. Reid, simply because we dared, in our
ast ISSUE to express opinion against the prudence
Of appointing Raleigh man as State proxy in the
Fayetteville Plank Road meeting; he also takes US
ton Rail Road We wish to obtrude our advice up
on no man or body of men. We never have been
guilty OF promoting discussions in the party. We
nave never attempted to dictate, will we be die
taed 10 and although cannot, in the language of
the Standard, boast about being reared and educat
ed, etc., We have still spirit enough to resent nsin-
uaons against us of the professed'' friends
OF Gov. Reid simply because, in matter not po- !
iItca IN Its character, chose exercise own
independence. reference to the vote in this Dis
trct In August last, will show whether have
been real or ''prgfessed'' friend of Gov. Reid
whether the insinuations of the Standard just or
not. Whatever course Mr.. Holden may choose to
pursue In this matter, tUU not be betrayed into
squabble, which cannot but to the benefit of
our opponents. If the article before US be spec-
men OF the music, cannot dance, and the Standard
must have It's Highland Fling solus. The Standard
calls upon us to recant and recall. We will see
about that In the meantime, there is typograph
ical error which we take pleasure in correcting 1t
is the substitution of an for in the word Cap
itol, which should read Capital. By "a Virginia
garrison in her State CAPITOL" VIC meant a certain
clique in Raleigh, who are Virginia all through
body and soul. We had alluson to the officers
in the costly building erected by the peoples money.
and the Editor ought to have known that. We adj
mire the talents and energy of the Editor of the
Standard, but there is something in the tone Of his
article as bitter and violent against though he
were charging an enemy, which we are not. and do
not desire 10 be, unless we made one and even
if forced to occupy that unpleasant position,
not be made an enemy 20 the party. If our language
seem strong to Mr.. Holden, let him read his own
ticle, and he will be convinced that it is justified
by the provocaIion and demanded by Justice to our
selves.
We wish it to be distinctly understood that we
regard this arrogant and dictaora article of the STAN
dard simply the emanaton of the Editors
brain, and the expression of his own sentiments.
We could not respect Governor Reid do, did
we deem him capable of giving his sanction ap
Proval to such attempt at prescription, merely
account OF difference of opinion in regard to the
policy of particular act, when that difference of
opinion is honestly entertained and respectfully ex-
pressed. 1t is great mistake to suppose, the
Standard to do, that in this matter, in 9TH
ers, we do not express the views of the people in
this region. The presence of large number of our
friends at Superior Court, in session in this
place, has given opportunity of knowing that
course is approved by our Democratic brethren
at large; the violence of the Standard be approx
ed by none. Perhaps the Editor of the Standard
would like also to read the Godsborough Patriot out
of the party, notice that that paper has copied
article about the Raleigh and CASTOR Rail Road.
There others who think with US, must they.
too. be mathematical? Of one thing the Standard
may rest assured-We will not disturb the harmony
OF the party by Initiating it in a well cacu-
lated produce that result We call attention to the
following by way of ta-piece. 1t is taken from a
Petersburg paper Of the 22nd:
This evening. at four o'clock, General Saunders
will address the people of Petersburg in behalf of
the R0leish nd CASTOR Railroad. Gen. Saunders is
a gentleman of distinction and ability, and as he
speaks to the citizens of Petersburg upon
which them most vitality, they should heal
him.
1t is not purpose to repeat what said
this subject, in our last The Journal will remember
that found it in at least questionable company
we found i, "agreeing - in opinion with the most
INSCRIPTIONS Wing paper in the State, in relation to
the action of Democratic Governor and rather apo
logzing for the d" ascerbity :" of feeling evnced by
that paper in its attack Mr. Jones. Unquestiona-
bly, the Journal has right dissent from the action
of Gov. Reid in State affairs, and it would be the
duty of that paper do so, if the Editor should be
convinced that the Governor was pursuing course
of policy calculated to result in injury the public
interests but we repeat, were struck by the con-
junction this occasion of the Journal and the OBJ
first line of our article the subject. Weare will
ing, however, to regard this conjunction accidental
at any rate, not disposed to dwell upon it, or
to draw from it any differences of nature designed
to prejudice the Journal.
But the Journal, it SEEMS far more sensitive
in relation this Plank Road business, than the Ca
rolnan itself, which is published at the spot where
most of the interests of the Plank Road cluster
Hear what Mr. Bayne SAYS:
1--WE think with the Standard, that it was not in
cumbent on the State to appoint Fayetteville or
We think the gentleman appointed was unexceptio-
able in all respects. Such think, is the general
opinion about here"
This is conclusive. The general opinion " about
Fayetteville Isl that the Governor was not bound TO
appoint Cape Fear to represent the State and
that the " gentleman selected was unexceptionsble
in all respects" And if acceptable to Fayetteville
if acceptable to Mr.. Bayne, why should Mr.. Fulton
complain?
The Journal corrects typographical mistake. The
Editor intended to speak of certain s. Virginia
clique" in the " State Capital,'' and not of the Off
in the 6 State CAPITOL The Journals saws that
We ought to have known" his meaning. We do
not see how why. We thought possible that the
Editor intended 10 speak differently, but then we
looked at his article about the Plank Road, and then
at the other, in which he spoke of the Raleigh pa
pers and their Virginia feelings and coupling
these things 18th the of both his articles what
other conclusion could we draw but the one we did
We take him at his word and give him the benef
