Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1855-09-15

We repeat, that we consider Mr. Barrnger's last
statement as establishing the proof that the honor
of our country bargained off at the last Presi
dental election between the Pierceites and the
Romish Hierarchy and that Postmaster General
Campbell is much the appointee of Pope Plus
TX. if he had been sent directly from that seeth
ing cess pool of corruption, the Court of Rome it.
self Raleigh Register.
Now, Mr. Barringer-in what the Register rather
sneeringly styles his "zast tement'-emphati-
cally declares that in his opinion there is foun
daton for the charge preferred by Mr. Rayner, and
so often repeated by the latter gentleman and the
Register; but that paper, affecting to know Mr.
Barringer's mind better than he does himself and
at the time deliberately contradicting what
that gentleman has said the subject, repeats the
CHARGE on bare suspicion, without proof and that
too i'll matter vitality touching the character and
the honor of the country.
The Register refers to Mr.. Baringers last state
ment"-why has not that paper given his other and
former statements to its readers? Why are his let
ters of the 9th and 23d July still suppressed?
Will not Mr.. Bar1inger speak out again in this
matter? Does he not it to himself and to the
of truth, to publish the qOhoZe correspondence
between himself and Mr.. Rayner?
The writer of this article for the Register says he
believes the honor of our country bargained
off at the last Presidential election between the
Pierceites and the Romish Hierarchy; and that
Postmaster General Campbell is as much the APP
pointee of Pope Plus TX if he had been sent di-
rectly from that seething cesspool of corruption,
the Court of Rome itself" Now, we are just char
table enough to entertain the opinion that the wr
ter believes no such thing. What the proofs?
Why, at first they were, that the Popes Nuncio
predicted to Mr.. Barrnger that Mr.. Campbell
would be" appointed; they are, that the
Pope's Nuncio heard of the appointment before Mr.
Barringer did! Why, according to this mode of
reasoning the Spanish Government which is Catho-
lie, and under the influence of the Pope, could be
charged with, and convicted of the crime of muir
derng Gen. Taylor!--for Mr. Barringer says, in his
" last statement" that the Spanish Government
heard of Gen. Taylor's death before he did. If the
fact that the Spanish Government heard first of the
appointment of Mr.. Campbell, (Which information
Communicated to the Nuncio and by him to
Mr.. Barrnger,) is proof that that appointment was
the result of corrupt bargain, then the fact that
the Government referred to the first to hear of
Gen. Taylors death, is proof that it knew he would
die, and that it had hand in causing his death.
Such is the logic by which it is sought to establish
this miserable calumny!
Has not the Editor of the Register seen Gen.
SCOTS letter. denying for himself and his opponents
this charge of bargain with the Romish Church?

The Register speaks of the Court Of Rome
