Semi-weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1852-1853, 1853-01-29

COL LOVE, OF HAYWOOD. This gentleman, a
member of the recent Legislature, is 50 catching it -
from some of the members of his party, fot his
in The Legislature. The Raleigh STANDARD says he
was elected democrat, but voted aim psf inVaria
bly, with the wings. Now as the Colonel lives just
across the river from US, in Haywood, and is
therefore close nerghbor, and would doubtless like
10 have our talk the subject deliver ourselves.
Bob had the right to vote as he pleased, provided
nevertheless, that he did not violate any pledges
given 10 his constituents. But if he promised
thing and done another, he to be skinned. If
he leTt himself tree and untranmeed by pledges of
any kind, and the democracy Of Haywood took him
upon trust, then say he had perfect right to take
his own COURSE But unfortunately for the Col. there
are things connected with his election, and his
course Raleigh, that wear bad aspect; and, 1t he
don't clear them up the democracy of Haywood will
give him particular bringer " two years hence. In
the first place, When the news of Col. Loves election
reached this place, certain wings in this town. of the
most ultra stamp, rejoced at his victory And this,
too, Notwithstanding his opponent, Joseph Keener,
Esq, is old fashioned whig, OF decided d.
bility, and gentleman in every of the word
Why did these wing leaders rejoice Keeners
defeat! He had beer unalterlng in his devotion to
whig principles and is as talented the best
of them. Why were they well tckled at Bobs
success! But again, did not Col. Love receive aid
and comfort during the canvass from some of those
same wing leaders, enable him 10 beat good and
true whig! Was there understanding between
the Col. and his wing allies that he should for
some of them for Office and in turn they make
him State Treasurer! There Is Cat in the meal,
and the thing looks nasty-we don't understand it.
We like political Observation-Disclosures in strong
but then don't like bargain and intrigue-we
DON'T
There is another feature of this thing that is de-
cidedly funny. 1t is we'll kRown about here how
many were the curses, loud, long, and deep, which
were hedped upon US because refused to advocate
SCOTS claims to the Presidency. We were denounc-
cd as raitor-a renegade-a bought up Judas, and
dear knows how many such charitable and christian
like epthets applied TO US. NoW, those very same
Immaculate simon pures, who were struck sPeechless
with holy horror refusal to obey the behests Of
party, step forward the defenders of Col. Love,
when his party charged him with having defeated
the will of the orv and violated the faith repos
sed in him by democratic constituency! His indie
pendeLcs mani Observation-Disclosures
fit be canonized and had in lasting remembrance.
Ours awfully wrong-we deserved gibbet high
er than Haman's! Verify, some politicians very
honest, and some circumstances materially alter
es! One is strongly reminded of the school boy ia
bic of the lawyer and the farmer.
Wait and watch-the truth will leak out one of
these days, and the public will learn all about this
marvellous mingling of Haywood democracy and
Buncombe whiggery.
We like Col Love a mamie is a clever fell.
lows but he is young and inexperienced, and we are
somewhat afraid he has been bamboezled bv the wilv
politicians who now profess much love for him
while they laugh in their sleeves his gullioiIitv
Their love for him is the love that hawk bears
chicken, wolf lamb. Take our advice Bob
look we'll to your political associates; or Won
may have to say, when too late, save me from nv
friends! 4sheviAe NesUs.
