The Raleigh Standard.


As we have said before, and re-iterate, we are
decidedly opposed to getting into squaDbles with
Democratic contemporaries, and shall therefore pass
over some things in the Standard OF Saturday last
at which we might otherwise be inclined to take e1-
ception The harmony of the party is above per-
sonal feelings even when the letter might justly be
aroused. We cannot, however permit the inference
to gain currency that, by a subsequent explanation
of intention in regard expressions used by u.s. with
reference 10 Governor Reid, any other gentleman,
we have placed meaning upon language, previously
used by u.s. not in accordance with the natural infer
ence to be drawn from it or opposed to our obvious
intent in It's employment. However, let that pass
We content ourselves with quoting, from, the Stan
dard, the concluding sentences OF It's own remarks
devoted to US :---' We have our own views OF JUS
tice and of public duty and our contemporary may
be informed, if it does not know the fact already,
that are not to be deferred by any fear OF conse
quences, from expressing those views frankly and
plainly, as the occasion may seem TO require WIN
these remarks closes, upon part, at least ds'
cussion not sought by u.s. and for which we have no
taste We may all find better use Tor our time and
better employment for our pens, in repelng the at
tacks of our common opponents, than in INDUCING
feeling of suspicion ill-will towards each other
We too, as the conductors of news and commercial
paper, have demands upon our time and attention
which forbid our induging in useless controversies
and above jail, in controversies with our political
friends and brethren.
O. We find, this morning, most plentiful lack OF
news. Here and there the papers at the North are
discussing the Oyster Cholera, several persons hav
ing died from Cholera said to have been brought or
by eating Oysters too long kept. panic has ariser
against the of Oysters generally, which has forced
the Oyster vendors into the publication of medca
certificates to re.estabsh the character of their pets
1t seems to be the opinion of the best physicians tina
there is more danger in using perfectly sound Oys
this season than at any other time. However
there is stagnaton III the trade and the " Hard
shells" are below par.
We are without papers from Charleston, and may
continue so, we hardly know how long, under exist
ing circumstances. Of course the break in the mai
communication between the North and South, attracts
much attention. We have been unable TO hear o
any change in the existing state Of things. We pre-
sumo the mail was again rendered and again refused
this morning. The mail that went South yesterday
morning is still in charge of the Postmaster at Sum
terville. So it stands
Another exhibition of the mob spirit of Abolition
ism has recently been made at Worcester, Mass ont
of the hot beds of that ism. A man named Bateman
who had assisted in the enforcement of the law il
the case of the rendition of Burns, the Fugitive,
Boston, was set upon by courageous mob of hun
dreds and after all manner of insults and ill-usage
barely escaped with his life.
Henry ]. Gardner, the Know-Nothing candidat
for Governor of Massachusetts, has come out in
letter, in which he asserts that he has always bee
an acvocate for the repeal modification Q
the Fugitive Slave Law, and was in favor G
a fusion of the Wings and Free Sellers. H
also says that he never did, nor never will
vote for man who is or has been in favor of tn
Fugitive Slave Law, and in June last he signed me
mortal to Congress for its unconditional repeal. Thi
sun marily disposes of the ridiculous assertion ths
the order at the North is abolition in its charac
