------~----- 1880.
We regret 10 SEC in the Wilmington Iour-
nal Of the 7,h inst. two articles in reference to Mr.
Sisnly. which scem to bespeak a mali gnily Of
feeling and . recklessness of hioodshed, which
We did not suppose any editor in North carolina
would indulge. The articles TO which we allude
will certainly find few parallels in this State; and
We question whether the moral sentiment Of the
people in any state in the Union. would tolerate
the spirit which they seem to indicate, any more
than ], 'docs duelling ITSELF The FIRST article in
the Journslio which we refer. Is headed Bsckei
Out" and after stating that Mr. sianly had de-
elined reeleciion to Congress, adds: :. Mr. Stan.
y il prudent MN. both in fighting blootllcss
duels and in declining when he stands no .ort Of
chance. Were the pistols loaded. and was the
coffee goodi" The sccond article is healed,
/" Another scrape-0n s,anly. on After stat.
ing some Of The particulars Of The penesn,rc he.
tween Messrs. clingmsn and s,snly. the Journal
says: " It's thought that nothing will grow 90,
oft. as Clinsmsn is said to be man who shoots"
What does the Journal expect to accomplish BY
such re,narksi Is i, his desire tina, the misunder.
standings and chickering's in our Senate chambers
and halls Of Representatives should terminate in
blood. and therefore is il that he would ridicule
any more amicable a'ljus'menil Or is il special
malignily towards Mr.. Stanly that he is disposed
to indulge! Evil purposes might he effected, if
not counieracicd by other influences. which we
hope have more power over its readers Than the
Journal itself.
We have thought il our duty 10 notice these
articles in the Journal, and to condemn them IN
the strongest terms. The press has q powerful
influence m this country. and We desire 10 see
y brought TO bear with all its power against the
spirit which fosters dHlIng, as well as agains.
duclng itself.
We hope the Journal. for which we have
heretofore entertained and expressed sra, re.
spcet will be able 10 plead haste and a want of
consideration in the preparation Of the articles
above alluded 10, and that il will see the prop,ie
ty OF eschewing and condemning such sentiments
as tacy contain.
