these we're denounced by the standard. and his
favor bestowed upoa Gov. M'Donild aud Gen.
Quitman, who were opposed 10 lhs csmpromisc
and advocates for Secession. How does this
agree with his declaration that he accepted the
eornprumise from the lirsi!"
his tue that sfter the people Of Mississippi
had spoken TOD smphaIicaly to be mistaken, and
Gen. Qaitman had in consequences backed out
from the canvass, the eyes Of The Standard be-
came rnIighisnsi. and he was constrained To say
that he would not vote for him were he citizen
Of Mississippi. But ,his declaration came too
late in the day 10 avail him much. and indicated
rather fear Of being in the minority. Than dis
approval Of the doctrine Of secession which Gen.
Qulman had heen consistent in supporting.
The STANDARD pursued the same course in re-
la,ion To the canvass foi Congress in this d.irct
He advocated with much zeal The election Of Mr..
venahle, who was avowedly opposed to the CON-
promise, and stool pledged to vote for The repeal
Of an important measure comprised in that adj
jusimsni; while he opposed the election Of Mr..
Graves, quite as true De nocrat and Of high
standing in his party, and who was knc,rn to be
in favor Of the compromise, and opposed to the
doctrine Of secession-though every intelligent,
thinking man in the country believes that il The
compromise should be disturbed and tbs agiia-
ton recommended in Congress, the Union would
he put in imminent danger. Yst the Standard
says he accepted the compromise" and "ac-
euicsced in il from the beginning, foi the sake
Of the Union !"
4 Our Object has been - show the Standard as
he Is al present; hence our illusions have been
to matters Of recent occurrence. The Editor Of
I The Raleigh Register, who has the files Of the
Standard before hirn, has gone further back, and
brought out from e. the record" several items
which have somewhat sconcerted the Standard
and he enjeavors 10 avoid The force OF them by
complaining that his language has been " gar
blcd," and that he is held responsible for discon.
necicd sentences; as il il were expected that the
reviewer would cucumber his article by quoting
the whole Of the article he reviews. But the Ian.
guage Of the Standard is no, /" garfield" enough
is quoted TO give the true meaning Of the senien-
ccr. What could he palmer than the followingi
On the 2lst Of November, isi9, the editor, in
speaking Of the action Of the ensuing Congress
!, says:
"If California should I've admitted as a State
, with constitution prohibiting slavery, &c. in all
probability the excitement will not only he con-
!, tinucd, hut increased. We then empha ically de
mand: DIRE The people Of North Carolina pre-
pared 10 SUMMIT 10 he ADORE measures 2"
This is the spirit with which the compromise
measures were met by the Standard at the be
ginning, and the same acerbity Of temper ha,
accompanied all that he has said Of them TO this
day.
We do not intend to run over all that the Re
cister has brought out from "ihe record !" W,
have already extended this article to a create
length than we intended. The Register quotes
: the Standards own words to show that he wen
for Southern Convention, boldly and withou
: rcservc"-,hough the only object Of the South
ern Convention, as far as ayowcd, was 10 taxi
. incipicnt steps for the formation Of I" Scuthcrl
y ConfeGeracy," and the consequent dissolution o
= the Union. The editor of the Register, ly vari
L Gus extracts, has fully convicted the Standard
u having bitterly denounced the compromise fror
its inception to its completion, and having con
~ tinued his hostility both 10 il and its supporter
y TO The end Of the chapter. So that if the Stan,
y ard in reality as he says, accepted the compr'
"a misc" and acquiesccd in il from the beginning
se for the sake Of the Union," il has been with
Oh grace that has conferred little credit upon hin
No self, or benefit to the Union.
GU The editor of the Register has handled his su
Gu iect with ability, and we may hereafter find
" casion to make use Of some of the facts which
- has placed before US.
