From the Raleigh Standard.
The Register to be concerned on the subject OF
the discussion between the Washington Union and this
pager The editor thruss himself forward, with his
comments and opinions, without beng asked; and
though he doubt thinks he has dealt pretty hard
blows yet we believe he has not succeeded, up TO this
time, attracting the attention OF either OF the papers
above mentioned. And we notice his unsolicited inter-
ference at this time only for the purpose oil repeing
charge which he has made, connexion with this dis
cussion, against some of our friends in this State
The Register, in noticing our denial that the Standard
secession and disunion paper alleges that We have
made "humiaiing and thorough capitulauon' on The
subject of secession and lett friends, Messrs Cald
well, Avery. Dobbn. and others, IN 'he iarch.' we
eighty maintained during the last assembly By dis
ting gentlemen Of both parties and the Register
well knows that not one OF them took tue posuon hai
the right of secession constitutional right On
the contra they took directly the opposite ground, and
spoke OF it reserved right TO be exercised only IN
the last resort This is the language and tone both Of
and OF the resolutions introduced by the minority OF the
committee raised the sublect and IN proof OF THIS
we call the attention OF the Register especially to The
second resolution the referred to- That resolu
ton the Int OF secession for jusf cause oniy j.
does not declare either that the right isa eons'nionaf
one, that State may withdraw without cause and al
I'VE had the pleasure of hearing all the speeches delv
cred during the last mby thus subject The editor
of The Register heard them also and his own columns VIII
bear witness that in making the above charge he has
done gross injustice TO Messrs Dobbn, Caldwell Saun-
ders, Avery, Shepard, and others We remember that
Mr. Dobbin, especially, stated inal
The result OF compact entered into between sovereign
States that State possessed, OF necessity The right
to Judge OF violations. OF the compact or constitutions and
of the mode and measure of redress that the compact
should be paipaby violated by the general government,
North Carolina would have the right SO TO declare, and
10 secede she thought such step indispensable 10 the
protection of her liberties and the property OF her czens
and tina, if the general government should assail her o
so doing and any OF her clzens 10 arms IN obed
ence To the orders OF the State aut. critics. they would MOI
be traitors but prisoners OF war and iu,lber that while
he dlsspproved OF portions oil The 'Iomp'one' ye' ne
for added that gentleman with peculiar emphasis and
eloquence, he day Of it's dissolution will be The dark
est day for human liberty the world has ever seen.
Such was not only his position in Substance but was
the ground occupied by Messrs Caldwell, Avery Saun
ders Hoke, Shepard, Erwin, and indeed, all whJ
maintained the doctrine OF State sovereignty in the las
assembly.
But the Register has no idea OF doing justice these
gentlemen Such an the part OF that paper might
inure the wing party and those who know that paper
well we do, cannot hope that u VIII DO anything, y
with any question, which may be calculated
to affect iploriously It's party interests.
