Yes, fellow citizens. said be 10 sub
stance, the President Of that illinois,
Road went to England. and On the Gre
dit DC these lands borrowed money from
the Lords, and the Earls, and the Mar
ises.' and the Road was built BY the
aid Of IordIings while you in North
Carolina are denied your share IN these
lands, and are oppressed BY heavy tax
es, and are hardly able TO buy girga-
ny TO put ON your poor land. by the
way, the General has very indePen-
dent way Of prononncing the word qua
no. We think in his case, about the
first Thursday in August, the pronun-
citation will be-gone>Oh! We have no
doubt, however, that he would like TO
have it-gaiR-0h"
This, though evidently eafieaiure. Is pretty
strongly put; and we think il probable that the
Standard has many readers who win say that
Gen. Dockey is right If illinois receives pub
lie lands 70 Luild her Railroad, why should not
North Carolina
But The Standard is disposed 10 make sport q
the Generals pronunciation. and hopes by ITS
ridienle, 10 break the force Of bis argument; but
in This, we opinc, II will be mistaken. The peo-
pie will be allie 10 understand bis language
though |, may not be 50 polished as to sui, The
taste Of the EDITOR Of the Standard and The elite
who compose the Democratic @elique." The
good sense and fnrce Of his arguments will be
appreciated, though some words may be pro.
nounced more after The manner Of the people
themselves than Of the critical scholar. The
STANDARD, with oil lis ingenuity. will not he abls
10 consince the people that. because Gen. Dock
cry gives 90 in Marquis The sound Of \, or does
no, pronounce guano equal 10 spaniard, there
fore North Carolina should moi have an eqniia'
BILE share Of the public lands. But is il NOT out
of character for a Democratic editor 10 endeayol
to rijicule gentleman because Of bis limited ed
ucaiionl Is il consistent with Democratic pro.
tessionsi
Admitting that lhe Standard has not given q
csricature Of the Generals pronunciation Of the
word guano, we have high authority for saying
that a man in this State has a right 10 pronounce
The word just as he peases! Al The last annual
meeting Of the State Agricultural socriy, guonG
was made subject Of discussion, in which ma.
ny of the most intelligent members participated
A short time before the Socieiy adjourned, the
former Secretary, James +. Taylor, esq, who has
q remarkable fund Of knowledge as well as hu.
NOR. Introduced a resolution in relation to ihs
pronunciation Of the word guaao, which wal
abou, as follows-Iwe quote from memoyl;
Whereas, in the discussions which have taker
place in this Society, The word guano has beer
pronounced in ten or more different ways, as fol
lows, viz; -guihana--gwinna--g COMO
guno-- goneo-- guner--gwanny--gwyner land
gwoner; and none Of them correct: therefore,
Rfs0ired Tint hereafter, in the discussions o.
This body, the word shall I've pIonounccd--tw s
cannot say how, for we did MOI get il exacily.l
The Society, however, took no action upon the
resolution; and we contend, therefore, that, a,
far as tina, body is concerned. the proper pronun
citation Of the word is still an open question. An,
Furthermore, as such variety in the plonuncia
ton prevails, we doubt the right Of The editor o
the Standard to call in question the correctness
Of any genileman's pronunciation Of the word
We do not even believe that the editor can pro
nounce the word correctly HIMSELF and refer III,
matter TO Mr.. Taylor for his decision in the case
