North Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1850-1852, 1851-07-19
NORTH CAROLINA.

Hon. Edward Stanly has, as has been already an
nouhceds finally consented. against his own incna-
ton, to become again candidate for Congress in the
Newbern Distr Ct. He has been induced 10 declare
himself candidate solely for the good of the cause,
ana to prevent the election going by default. His
competitor Col. Rufin, is said to be warm advo-
cate of the rghtof Secession ''-or, in other words.
Disunionist. The three Wing papers in the Dis
tIlct speak with entire confidence of the triumphant
election of AIR. Stanly. Mr.. venable will probably
be the only Secessonist from the State in the next
Congress-, because he is the only candidate of that
stripe who will encounter strong opposition The
election comes off on the 18th of August and we look
forward to thorough redemption of the State by the
Wings. Richmond Times.
The Times - is sadly out of Joint in its CAL
culations in regard this State. In the first place,
Mr.. Stanly is running because he desired run in
the second place, his opponent is not Dsunionist !;
in the third place, Mr.. Stany is for he encourages
Northern aggression both by his speeches and votes
and in the fourth place. the Times will look forward
in vain to a redemption by the Wings of this State
in August next. .t.r
In 1912 the Legislature of this State laid off The
Congressional Districts according to law, but the
Wing leaders, not liking the apportionment changed
it in 1916, as to give themselves six out of the nine
members. But now the tables are about to be turned
Even the Gerrymander will not North Carolina
Whiggery. We count with positive certainty
Venabe, Ashe, Daniel, and Rutfin, and with grea,
deal of confidence Caldwell; while Mr.. Clingman,
who will be returned by at least thousand majority,
has been rePudiaed and cast off by the Wing leaders.
The Wing party proper, to concede the to them,
cannot elect than four members and the chances
now are, decidedly, that they will have only three.
The Times will please correct mistakes.
How does it happen that the Times has soft
words for Edward Stanly9 Did not that paper de-
nounce him, after his celebrated submission
Speech in the late Congress, as traitor to his Sec
ton
AS to the right of secession, Messrs. Venable,
Ashe. Daniel, Ruffin, CALDWELL and Clingman all
recognize it the best if the only remedy for the
Southern States, an the last resort but they are OPP
posed to exercising this right at the present time.
The Times holds the advocates of the right of Sc
cession to be Disunonists. What did Mr.. Webster
say at Capon Springs Did he not say that if The
free States should break the compact The Union ,cOuM
be dissotued2 And if the compact should be broken
what would the Times have the slave States do
Would they not be compelled to secede Withdraw
from the existing Union And would Mey, in thus
seeding, be Disunioniss, instrumental in produc-
ing Disunion 1t is no answer to say that if the
compact is broken the Government is dissolved The
majority would listen such doctrine tha-they
would hold on to the Government, declare that the
Union was still in being, and would seek to punish
as traitors all Southern men who should assert their
rights.
The Times will please correct mistakes here also.
