THE STANDARD,
RALEIGH, SATURDAY, JAN. 30, 1853.
PRESIDENT PIERCE.

President Pierce has declined a public reception
by the authorities of Boston, which had been ten
dered him on the occasion of his passing through
that City on his way to Washington. In his let
ter he recies his previous verbal acceptance of the
invitation when personally presented by the COM
mittee at Concord. The General states however:
that after the event which has recently befallen
him with crushing weight, it is his wish to pro-
coed to his post of duty as quietly and privately
circumstances will permit. He feels deeply sensi-
BILE of the kindness which has prompted the invi-
tation, and fully appreciates the evidence thus af
forded of the estimation in which he is held by the
citizens of Boston, but looks upon them not as due
to any personal claims of regard, but springing
from noble motive, and a proposal to receive
him as representative Of principle, uppermost
in all hears-the basis of which is the sacredness
of the Union principle that will be cherished
by all while any adequate love of common country
exists in the Republic. Whatever anxietes may
yet be in store for him-whatever obstacles inter-
pose in the way Of duty, he has undyng faith that
he will never falter in devotion to that object He
looks with fearless confidence for the support of all
patriots of whatever party, in his endeavors to pre-
serve the union of the States and the supremacy
of the laws, which the surest guarantees of our
happiness, present and future.

THE REVOLUTIONARY PARTY.

We do not deem it necessary, at present, to say
any thing more in relation to the revolutionary
scenes enacted in the late House of Commons by
Wing leaders. We have given the people of both
parties faithful account of these scenes; and thus
far none of our statements have been disproved.
They cannot be, for they are bottomed in the
rock of truth.
We expected that, as a matter of course, the
Wing papers of the State would approve this
violent and revolutionary conduct on the part of
their leading men and in this expectation we have
not been disappointed. 1.-THE government had been
actually arrested in its course and overturned these
inscriptions partizans would not have lacked de-
Tenders and apologsts.
Bnt we have not exhausted the subject. We
intend, if we should be at the head of this press
in the campaign of 1854, to 60 again into all the
facts involved in this affair, and to hold ND these
revoutloniss IN their true coors before their con-
stltuents and the people of the State. The facts
are on record, and they have been laid aside for
future use.

MR.. BADGER.

1t seems now to be understood that Mr.. Badg-
er's nomination for Supreme Court Judge has been
laid over by the Senate-in other words, will not
be acted upon at ALL
We are surprised that gentleman of Mr.. Bad
gers peculiar personal pride should have permitted
his to be used when there was any reason
able ground to apprehend that he would meet with
disappointment. He must have had strong assur-
ances that he would be confirmed, or he must have
desired the office very much. If the nomination
has, indeed been laid over, this is his last chance
for a seat on that Bench.
Mr. Badger would no doubt make good ST.
preme Court Judge; but then his views of the
Federal Constitution and of the powers of the Fed
eral government are erroneous to the last degree.
Mr. Badger has succeeded well-remarkably
we'll lawyer, but politician he is decidedly
commonplace. His stump efforts are, invariably,
only elegant rehashes Of party slang and his polit
cal speeches in the Senate alike weak and super
fetal. He is good lawyer, just as that man
the other is good carpenter; but as politician,
repeat, he occupies very inferior position.
We are rather 10th believe that the Editor of the

Register.
This is specimen of the dccency which charac-
terizes the columns of the Raleigh Register. We
beg the Editor Of that sheet to be assured that it
is matter of profound indifference with US wheth-
er he ever makes up his mind not as to the par
ticular class to which he would assign us. We
read the above with great unconcern.
Now, the Editor of the Register is neither
" simpleton " nor a "knave." He was sent to
College, and he got through-that precludes the
idea that he is "simpleton," for we could not
call him one without rejecting on the learned Fa;
Guilty who permitted him to pass; and if we were
to call him knave" we should leave the i'm
preston that he possessed some snartness. Here,
then, we pause. We confess ourselves in guam
Diary. What shall we call him? Why, nothing.
Our readers may think it little singular that
we take things so coolly. Well now, gentlemen,
what shall we say? What good would it do to
resent the nonsense which the Register contains
Is it not known that he regards politics game
Have you not observed that he has no more re-
gard for facts than mule has for Sunday? Did
you ever know him to state facts when fabrications
would suit his purpose better? Do not, then, we
beseech you, expect us to get angry when he calls
US names.

A BEAUTIFUL SKETCH.

We are indebted to a writer in the Chicago
Journal for the following sketch of domestic scene
that cannot fail to touch a cord in every parents
heart
Yesterday wagon loaded with wheat
coming into town-nothing strange in that GER
tany And man driving the team, and woman
perched the load beside him, and a child thron-
ed in the woman's lap-nothng strange in that,
either And it required no particular shrewdness
TO determine that the woman was the property
PERSONAL of course-of the man, and that the black
eyed, round-faced child was the property of both
Of them. So much we saw-so much we suppose
everybody saw, who looked. 1t is fair inference
that the wife came in to telp her husband trade
out portion of the proceeds of the wheat, the
product of so much labor, and SO many sunshines
and rains. The pair were somewhere this side-a
fae point Of observation isn't it ?-this side of
forty, and it is presumptive, if blessed like their
neghbors, they left two three at home " to keep
house," while they came to town-perhaps two
girls and boy, or, as it is immateral to us, two
boys and one girl. Well, follow the pair, in and
through until the wheat was sold, the money paid,
and then for the trade. The baby was shifted from
shoulder to shoulder, or sat down upon the floor,
to run off into mischief, like sparkling globue
of quicksilver on marble table, while calicoes
were priced, sugar and tea tasted and plates rung
The good wife looks askance at large mirror that
would be just the thing for the best room, and the
roll of carpeting, of most becoming pattern, but it
won't do, they must wait till next year. All there
is music in those next years, that orchestras cannot
make. And so they look, and price, and purchase
the summer supplies, the husband the while eye
ing the little roll of bank notes growing small by
degrees and beautifully less. Then comes an
" aside " conference, particularly confidential. She
takes him affectonately by the button, and looks
up in his face-she has fine eyes, by the bv-with
an expression eloquent of /" do now-it will please
them So" And what do you suppose they talk of?
Toys for the children: John wants drum, and
Jane DOLL and Jenny book, all pictures, 'just
like Susan so-and-sos.' The father looks "non-
sense" and feels in his pocket for the required
silver, and the mother, having gained the point,
hastens away, baby, and all, for the toys. There
acts the mother-she had half promised, not all
that she would bring them something and she is
happy all the way home not for the bargains she
made but for the pleasant surprise in those three
brown parcels. And you ought to have been there
when she got home, when the drum, and the doll,
and the book were produced-.and thumbed, and
Graded, and thumped- wasn't it great house ?
Happiness is so cheap, what wonder there is no
more of it in this world.
