Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1851-09-15

~ Some days ago we referred TO a
controversy that had arisen between the
Raleigh Standard and the Washington
On,or, concerning the course Of the latter
journal in regard to the compromise meas
ures of the last Congress, and its views up
on the question ofSeccssiou. The Stand
ard. in accounting for The defeat of the
Democratic party in North Carolina, had
declared that the Union had been of no
service 10 the party. To this allegation the
Union replied with some pungency. giving
its accuscr to understand, that the editor Of
the Union had been taught wha. the true
principles of Democracy were, by ga long
association with those patriots and states
men, who have received the highest hon
ors ofthc Republic" The Union went
farther than this, and declared that the
course it had pursued in opposing and sus-
tanning the Compromise and denying the
right Of secession, Seemed absolutely ne
cessary to expose the insidious wish of ia
natics and ultraists to give different d.
rcction to the public judgment and to re.
vive those apprchensions for the public
safety which would otherwise have been
allayed."
About this stagein the controversy, the
Lynchburg Republican went to the relief
of the Standard, making itself party to
the quarrel, and ofcourse coming in for a
share of the broad insinuation of the Union,
that the Standard belonged to "alfraists'
whose pernicious doctrines and influence
it was strvingIo counterfeit. The Repub-
iicaa gave it as its opinion, that the Union
was doing the Democratic party more harm
than good and referred to letter received
from "a distinguished member of Con
gress," candidate, we suppose it meant
stating that g. is inconiincntly ar
raging Clements, King, Cobb and the
Washington Union against me-" (himD-
The Republican avowed its sympathy
with Quitman and Mcdonald, the scces-
sion candidates for Mississippi and Geor-
gia, and declared that the election of their
competitors (Foote and Cobb would be
Iph,g victories. Weregret that we have
misaid the number of the Republican con
tanning this article, for we would like the
reader to see how heartily it identified il
self with Quitmah and Mcdonald, and
with the Standard, against the great organ
of the old Jackson Democracy. In all
Of this it reflected the sentiments and SYM
pathies Of Mr.. Bocock, and we do not
doubt of Messrs. Powell and Averett also;
and we are to understand what the Union
may have said in reply to its first assailant,
as being applicable to the Republican and
these gentlemen, equally with the Stand
ard. With this explanation, we proceed
to give the greater part ofan editorial ar
tcle in the Union of the 9th inst. Having
frs, asserted that the Compromise "was
passed by majority of Democratic votes, "
(Which, if true, might we suppose be &C
counted for by the very large majority,
which that party held in Congress- the
Union continues
"A southern editor, protesting grcat anxiety for
the success of the democratic party arraigns before
