Weekly North Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1850-1858, 1851-10-01

AZ We copied, a week or two since, article
from the Tarborough Press, in relation to rumored
nsurrec,ion in Pitt County, in Stanys District; and
it was submitted in this article by the Editor of the
Press question OF fearful responsibility, whether
Mr. S,anly's course inthe late campaign, in pronoun-
cling and aboring to show that Slavery was an esil,
had not led to 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 piIlory and the I" gaIoxs," for
having circulated, in publishing the said article, as
that paper alleges, printed " incendiary matter.
Ii is proper TO state that heard the rumor of this
insurreciion from a,privae source, before the
notice in the Press and though, We learn, there
was at first some for alarm, yet the excitement
has subsidized and no danger in the quarter referred
is now appreheaded.
Now, it is notorious that Mr.. Stanly told the Alb
olonsts and FreesoiIers in the last Congress, that
his constituents had but little if any thing TO complain
of the subject of Abolition nsul, and aggressions
and that his whole course, during the last two or
three years. has been calculated to strengthen and en-
courage the Frecsoiers, and thereby weaken the In
stituon of Slavery. 1t is also notorious that Mr..
Stany asserted, during the last Congress, that Slave
y 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 got votes
On this issue in certain portions of his Districts and
it is not going too far, by any means, to repeat what
We have heretofore stated, that he his election
in great degree to the an,i-Savery feeling which
he evoked in the campaign, and which went for him
al the polls.
Mr. Stanly has as much horror no doubt, of insur-
rectlons others, and would be far from counten
ancing nsubordinalion among slaves as any one
but what is the inevitable consequence of his public
teachings He declares Slavery to be an euiL and
argues to prove it. What must be the result of this
In slavehoding community! Mr.. Stanly, men,
Der Of Congress and gentleman of character, says
SO; and what must be the conclusion in the minds of
the ignorant and uninformed If he thinks SO, le,
him either keep it to himself speak of it private
y this is no time, when the whole artillery of Alb.
olitonsm is leveed against US, for Southern man
to be publicly proclaiming Slavery "an evil" He
that is not for US in this matter, is against US; and
"he that gathereh not with US, scattereth Abroad
The Register vli6es and abuses US, and threatens
US with infamous punishment, because we publish
an item of news from respectable paper! And has
come to this Is it "incendiarism to publish a
rumor of insurrection among slaves! Is tan offence
punishable with whipping the pillory, to warn the
people of the danger of supporting those public
who in our uery midst, denounce Slavery as {" ar
evil"!
we now tell that paper and its hackers. that We
"od lis abuse in contempt; that nothing which it Car
say can affect either feelings or our purposes
ano that we intend to 60 right in the discharge
OUT ouy fearless of consequences and without egarl
to consequences.
