ii : - -
Thomas Lenay, Esq. has disposed OF the Star
establishment to w g. Dodb. Esq, BY whom the
paper wilfin future be conducted. Mr.. Lemay, on
retiring from the post which he has occupied TWEEN
lty-six years, says among other things:
"If, in the heat Of party contests, he has occa-
hsonay been betrayed into the spirit and language
If bitterness towards his opponents il has been but
the ebuliiion of momenaTy excitement not OF malice,
and has left no trace of unkindness behind. To-
wards his brethren of the press, with whom he has
lived on terms of friendship, and from whom he has
received many marks of courtesy and kindness, he
cherishes sentiments of the warmest regard and one
of the most painful circumstances ofhls retirement Is
to take leave of them. To his kind and lndulgent
readers, who have supported his through every
trial. he returns his most grateful acknowledgements
and wishing them long lives of happiness and use
funess, bids them, one and all, TesPecttoi
adieu.'
Mr.. Lemay has performed important service for
his party and State, and retires with the good
wishes and respect of ALL We have differed wide
| ly with him on almost all public questions but
we have always regarded him as an honest man,
actuated by sincere desire to advance the interests
of the country. We know of no man more de-
voted than he is to the State of North Carolina or
! to the means which, in his judgment, best cal
culated to promote her welfare and prosperity.
Mr.. Doub, the new Editor is a young gentleman
of respectable attainments. We hope that, pecu-
narly, he may do we'll. His mission, he appears to
believe, is to demosh the /" North Carolina Stan
dard.' This he is to do, as matter of course,
every week. Very we'll. We have the consola-
ton at least of knowing when to be overset,
and by whom He comes at us in no question
able shape" He makes his bow to the public,
and then pitches rig ht into the " Standard" Like
ground and lofty tumbler or like harlequin, or
like singer of comic songs, he springs into the
ring, chances round at the audience and goes at once
to his task. Here he takes the STANDARD - full
in front with pebble-now he amuses the "Stan-
dard with pinch of Wing snuff, the remains of
Wing principles; and then again he tickles the
" Standards" ear with straw. This, it must be
confessed, is delightful. We expect to be able to
bear it, especially if the Editor will always be
polite enough when the g Standard" is down, to
invite the Standard to get up again.

q" SMART. -"
More anon

The Editor of the Raleigh Register, in the plen-
tude of his "smartness," quotes the following
sentence from a late number of the Standard, and
then makes remarks which we give below:
1" But the Democratic party is not only party of
prnciple-it has triumphed at the ballobox, and it
controls the government, because of this fact.'
Standard.
The Register then adds:
"A most sage and wondrous conclusion, Truly, that
the 80 Democratic - party controls the government,
because " it triumPhed al the ballot-box!' How
could it otherwise - control the government"
What we meant we said, as follows That the
Democratic party is not only party of principle,
but it has triumphed at the balotbox and now
controls the gov ernment-not because it triumphed,
but because it is party of principle. 1t was re-
served for the Editor of the Register alone among
all the critics in the State to put different con-
struction on our language. We DO not know how
the Editor writes his leaders but if he were to
give free play to his pen, and thus produce SEN
tence like that quoted from the Standard, he would
be very apt to conclude that he meant to say that
his party controlled the government " because it
had triumphed at the ballot-box." However he
may understand his own writing, and misappre-
bend that of others.
