OUR NEW DRESS.

.ss OUR NEW DRESS.
RALE1eH STANDARD. This excellent paper appears
in new dress. It may now be said to be the neat.
est as it always has been Of the neatest and best
papers published in the State. Long may its enter
prisng and indetigable Proprietor live to enjoy the
liberal patronage he so richly merits and receives
Tarberough Southerner.
The last North Carolina Standard comes to us in
new dress and considerably enlarged. 1t is, of
course, greatly improved in its appearance by the
change. If Holden would only set himself to work
to brush up his politics little by moderatng his
Democratic excesses and speaking more charitably
OF the Wings, it would be still further improvement
We do not ask or expect him to bulge an inch from
his political poston but respectfully suggest to
his consideration more liberal and less ntolant
course towards party which numbers in its ranks
so many distinguished and patriotic citizens of his
own State. Petersburg Inteltigencer.
We are obliged to Syme for the above, but we
must at the time remark that we have not been
as illiberal and "intolerant" :" as he supposes. We
have uniformly, as we think, done justice to the
Wings. Mr.. Symes remarks about our ilGberal-
ity would apply with much force to the Raleigh Re-
gister.
The N. G. STANDARD comes to us this week in a
handsome new dress. The Standard is ably con-
Quoted paper and deserves the encouragement which
has been meted out to it. The bold stand took in the
recent campaign-its fearless denunciation of dsor-
ganzers and its zeal in behalf of the principles of
the Democratic party should draw to it the support
of the faithful" throughout the State

N. G. STANDARD. We should have sooner MOTTO
ed the fact that the Standard has made its appear

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE. The North Carolina
Standard appears in a new costume and is much
improved by the change. 1t gives another evidence
of enterprise with which we not so well pleased
it copies the whole of Col. Benton's sketch of Ma
con, without single word of acknowledgment to us
for having given it the opportunity. We have right
higher than that of mere professional courtesy to be
credited with those papers by whatever journal
chooses to copy them. Neao York Er. Post.
We come forward at to do justice to the Post
in relation to the extract from Col Bentons History.
We copied from the National Integencer, overlook
ing the fact that the sketch first appeared in the
Post The Post is afording much qualification to the
public by these extracts from Col Benton's forth
coming work.
