North Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1850-1852, 1851-09-27

or We copied, week or two since, an article
from the Tarborough Press, in relation to rumored
instruction in Pitt County, in Stanys Districts and
submitted in this article, by the Editor of the
Press, question OF fearful responsibility, whether
MF Stanlys in the late campaign, in Pronoun-
cling and laborng to show that Slavery was an emil,
had not led the alarm and excitement alluded to-.
The Raleigh Register flies into great rage, both at
the Press and this paper, account of this arti
Gle and winds up its TRADE of abuse by quoting the
Revised Statutes upon us, and threatening us with
whipping the pillory and the galows, for
having circulated, in publishing the said article, as
that paper alleges, "printed - incendiary matter.
1t is proper to state that heard the of this
instruction from private source, before saw the
notice in the'' Press - and though we learn, there
at first for alarm, yet the excitement
has subsidized, and danger in the quarter referred
is now apprehended. ... ..,s..s-s
Now, it is notorious that Mr.. Stanly told the Alb
otionsts and FreesoiIers in the last Congress, that
his constituents had but little if any thing complain
of the subject of Abolition insult and aggressons
and that his whole course, during the last two or
three years. has been calculated strengthen and
courage the Freesoers, and thereby weaken the in
stitution of Slavery. 1t is also notorious that Mr.
Sanly asserted during the last Congress- that Slave
ry is eul; and this position he sought to justify
before the people in the late campaign. We have
been informed, the best authority, that he gotvotes
this issue certain portions of his District; and
it is not going far, by any means, to repeat what
have heretofore stated, that he his election
in great degree to the anti-Slavery feeling which
he evoked in the campaign, and which went for him
at the polls.
Mr.. Stanly has much horror. doubt, of insur-
rectons others, and would be far from
ancing nsubordination among slaves any one /;
but what is the inevitable consequence of his public
teachings He declares Slavery to be euii,' and
argues to prove it. What be the result of this
in slaveholding community! Mr.. Stanly. MEM
Der of Congress and gentleman of character, says
and what must be the conclusion in the minds of
the ignorant and uniformed! If he thinks SO, let
him either keep it himself speak of it private
ly; this is time, when the whole artillery of Abb
olitionism is ievelled against u.s. for Southern
to be publicly proclaiming Slavery San evil" He
that is not for us in this matter, is against and
" he that gathereth with US, scattereth abroad"
The Register vilifes and abuses us, and threatens
us with infamous punishment. because we publish
an item of news from respectable paper! And has
it come to this Is it 6" incendarism " to publish
rumor of instruction among slayes Is il offence,
punishable with whipping the piory, to warn the
people of the danger of supporting those public men,
who, IN our very midst, denounce Slavery as an
evil"
We tell that paper and its hackers. that we
hold its abuse in contempt; that nothing which it
say can affect either our feelings purposes;
and that intend 60 right in the discharge of
duty, fearless of consequences and without regard
to consequences. ....----- SIX.
