NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD: SATURDAY OCTOBER l. 1856
Prof. Hedrfck. of the University.


As matter of justice to Prof Hedrick, we pub.
lish to-day what he styles his "Defence" against
the charge Of being black Republican. There is
not point made presented in this Defence {"
which could not be triumphantly met and exposed;
but surely it cannot be expected of US, or of our
correspondent, IAN Alumnus," or of any citizen Of
this State, to argue with black Republican.
The Professor closes his "Defence" with the
opinion that those who prefer to denounce" him,
should at least support their charges by their
name" The author of IAN A!umnus " is a gentle
man of high character, and entirely responsible for
whatever he has said, may say. He is a resident
of this place, and his name can be known, if at all
necessary.
We adhere to our opinion, recently expressed in
the Standard The oppression Of black Republican
pinsons in our midst is incompatible auth our hon.
or and safety as people, That man is neither a
tit nor safe instructor Of our young men, aoho eoen
anctines to Fremont and black Republicanism
This is matter, however, for the Trustees of the
University. We take it for granted that Prof He'd
rick will be promptly removed

PENNSYLVANIA WILL DO HER DurY.-Before the

and leave it doubtful, but this question is now as
distinctly before the people if union disunion
was upon their ballots. In order to elect Fremont
he must receive 149 northern electoral votes In that
event the outawry of the southern States proclaim
ed by the sectional convention at Philadelphia will
have been confirmed by the northern people, and a
political geographical division will have been ac-
compIished The rest would speedily follow. But,
thanks to the steady character of the people of this
good old State they destined, firmly believe,
to ward off the danger. Fremont is comparatively
so weak that no attempt has yet been made to form
black-republcan electoral ticket here. The Ameri
cans have formed Fillmore ticket and the black
republicans are endeavoring to make an arrange
.nent with them; but the attempt venture to say,
will prove vain But whether theysun or whether
they divide, the result will be the same Along the
frontier counties of the State, bordering on Mary.

DEATH OF JUDGE TooMER-We regret to hear of
the death, at Ptsboro' of Hon. JonN d. TooMER a
distinguished citizen of this State. Learned in
corruptible, heightened gentleman, a profound
urist eloquent speaker and ready writer in his
death public loss has been sustained. He was a
man Of great amia5ty and goodness of heart, and
the buoyancy of his fancy well set off by the
charm of his conversation. With mind well stored
with rich intellectual gifts and requirements, and
an urbanty of disposition which charmed ali who
came within his influence, Judge Toomer was fine
representative of the old Cape Fear gentleman,
without fear and without reproach"-liberal, gen.
erous, brave and courteous
Judge Toomer was a native Of this town. and gra-
duated with distinction at Chapel Hill. Elected
Judge of the Superior Courts of Law and Equity in
1918, he resigned his Office the year following
years subsequent he appointed by tine Cover
nor and Council, Judge of the Supreme Court,
but the Legislature not confirming this appointment,
he resigned.
In 1912, he represented Cumberland county
in the Senate. .
In 1886, he was again elected Judge of the Su-
perior Court and after holding the office four years,
resigned on account of i'll health.
For number of years past he resided at Pittsbo-
ro', where he died.
1t is for an ADLER pen, and for one more intimate
with the details of his long and useful life, to do
justice to his memory. We but announce the fact
that distinguished son of the Cape Fear is

Messrs. Wilder and Littlejohu.

The Register of "Wednesday last makes the fol-

Messrs Wilder and Lttlojohn:

We are not surprised at this-nor, indeed, would

ton which might appear in the Raleigh Register
That paper, however, seems to cherish peculiar
antpathy towards Maj Wilder. 1t dislikes him be-
cause of his deserved popularity, and his powers

treated him with gross unfairness and injustice
Still Maj Wider's friends GO not complain of this
nor 10 they ask the Register to change its course in
this respect Censure and attempts at depreciation
from some quarters, are much to be preferred to
praise.
Now, We hesitate not to say that no gentleman Of
either party who heard the discussion between Maj
Wilder and Mr.. Littleohn, will endorse the above
account of it given by the Register. Certainly, Mr..
Littleohn acquitted himself--not with "mnrked
ability but he did handle his points ingeniously;
and he delivered. what his most attached personal
friends would call passable, respectable speech
He listened to with patience and attention, by
an audience, the greater portion of whom were Blu
chanan men; and yet, though there were many
Know Nothings present, he received no applause Ell
tier at the commencement during, at the close
Of his remarks Either he spoke very inditferently
and presented his points very badly, there was no
i5s in his purity friends soho present. The lat
ter is true. "Sam" appeared to be deceased and
laidou and Mr. Littejohn preaching his funeral.
When Maj. Wilder rose to reply he was greeted
with long and loud applause, which kept up, at
intervals, until he closed. We never heard more
successful more triumphant reply.
The Register has not added to Mr. Littejohn's rep
utation as public speaker, by the above notice.
We saw, IN that paper, few days since, an &C
count of the discussion in Nash between these gen.
temen-a great flourish about the " star-spangled
banner" &C. We learn that this incident of
the banner, so carefully gotten up by Mr.. Little
johns friends, was used with overwhelming effect
by Maj Wilder, against Know Nothingism and
Mexican Whiggery;" and that Mr.. Littejohn lost
there, at every other stage of the discussion. As
to the effect produced by Mr.. Littejohn in Nash, we
leave that to be determined by the votes the 4th
Of November.

PACIFICATIoN OF KANsAs.-THE LATEST News
The following from the St. Louis Republican of the

"FRoM KANsAs-The steamer David Tatum ar
rived yesterday afternoon from ST. Joseph. She
left that port on Wednesday last. At Kansas she
took on board about $50 citizens of Missouri, who,
in obedience to the proclamation of Gov. Geary,
had given up their military organization and returned
to MISSOURI They were principally from the coun-
ties Of Howard, Boone, Saline, Cooper and franklin

by whom 80 of Lanes men had been made prison

of his raganuffins, and was in Nebraska.
The train from Jefferson City last evening brought
down several gentlemen direct from Kansas. They
were passengers the Aubry, and bring the latest
news. From one of them we learn that the whole
of Gen. Reds force had been disbanded, and had
returned to their homes Gov. Geary was at Le-
compton with 1000 United States troops, and de-
termined to maintain the peace and execute the laws
Under his orders ninety men had been taken prison.
ers at Lawrence. The report of Lane and his band
having fled to Nebraska is confirmed. They are
said to have stolen property sufficient for them to
live on during the coming winter, if they can keep
together SO long.
There was report last evening that severaflives
lost, each side at Lawrence, but this IS pc;
lieved to be incorrect 1t is very hear
these tidings, and to know that the violeHS which
has so long prevailed in Kansas is at an egdsGov.
Geary began right and like firm purpose to pre-
serve law and to punish all offenders against it, will
soon make life and property as secure in Kansas as
in any State of the Union."
