Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1856-09-10

nate occurrence with the Irish residents o. t1is
country, by giving an incorrect statement q, me
matter, and throwing the entire blame on Herperi
who was fighting in selfdefense; and II you wlsn
for further evidence, we refer you to the card OIL
Mr. Dubois, the Netherlands Minister, who states
distinctly that his evidence would not have altered
the verdict but strengthened it.
Another case in which you have shown your hos
tity to the South is with the affair between Messrs
Brooks and Buringamc. You speak, in an Editorial
of few days back, of Mr.. Brooks having shown
the white feather, and as man of no courage, &c:
Now this affair is before the country, and we shall
not comment upon it. 1t is sufficient for US to say
that the entire South disagree with you in your
opinion. But we would ask you one questions
it possible thing for man who has been cowhlded
more than in open day without resent'ng 1t, TO
be proper judge of what constitutes honor or cour-
age? We of the South say no; and we appeal from
the opinion of Mr.. j. Gordon Bennett ard would
prefer the opinion Of Young Graham, Of Broadway
celebrity or even that of Chev. Webb, your partlc'
ular friend.
Again in regard to the Kansas and Nebraska
bill although YOU affirm that the principles OF that
bill are fair and Just to all sections; and that the
Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional as wen
as unjust to the South still you endeavor to make
it appear that the Northern as well as lhe oouthern
Democrats design it for slave State and nothing
else. No man knows better than yourself that this
is wiIful perversion of facts. The Northern Dem
ocrats do not wish to make it slave State unless
majority of the inhabitants desire it, otherwise they
would not have passed the bill in the present shapes
but the Southern Democrats, Wings, Know Moth
ines and all parties at the South, we believe, do
wish to make it slave State and we hope that they
may succeed--for we believe with yourself that an
equilibrium should be preserved between the North
ern and Southern States. This is stab No. to the
South and the Democratic party.
Again: In the Herald of the 28th ut, you copy
from a paper which you call the S. G. Times par
agraph a part of which reads thus: The truth is,
we have more Abotionists at heart residing at the
South than most persons are aware or Let them
feel that they will be safe, and many OF them that
are now regarded good and true friends OF the South
and her institutions, would be found not only con-
slant readers and devoted patrons of the Herald,
but ready to espouse it's teachings and advocate its
principles" Now, what are the principles OF the
N Y Herald and what are its teachings? We have
shown by your editorial article Of the 3lst July
a portion of which is quoted above-that you are a
full believer in slavery and slave institutions; and
had YOU been born and raised at the South and had
all the feelings Of Southern secessonist we would
not ask more from you Oh this question. Yet your
S. G. Times man makes it appear that those South
ern men who are abolitionists at heart and who
only desire safety to make it known to the world,
are your dear friends and patrons. Now we ask you
in all sincerity how is it possible for 1t to be shown
that these abolitonists your friends and patrons,
whilst at the same time you are according to your
writings, of their bitterest enemies! Is this
not papable blunder of yours 1t carries its own
refutaton on its face. "The depravity of man is
great"
In conclusion, we believe that your en:nity to the
Democratic party North and South, and your hos
tity to the South and Southern men, shown by
extracts from your editorials, is to be accounted Tor
in your disappointment in failing to get the French
Mission; and we also believe that you know perhaps
as WELL if not better than any living man, that you
have nothing to hope for from the Democratic party
or from the South; hence your object in supporting
Mr. Fremont for the Presidency. He is new man,
and if he were to succeed no doubt but you think
that your chance would be good one, from the fact
that your issue reaches nearly or quite seventy
thousand daily but if your object be Mission, you
will again be doomed to dreadful disappointment,
for unfortunately you would have to be confirmed
by the Senate, and if you are not aware of it you
may be- that it is next to impossible for you to be
confirmed to an important post by that respectable
body. We would, therefore, recommend you in the
event of Mr. Fremons election apply for an office in
which theScnatc has voice. fthere be but we do
not believe that with all of your 10000 daily SUBJ
scribers, you have much political influence
People read your paper not because they agree with
your politically because they have fallen in love
with your style. Not they; but it is read because
of large amount of foreign and home matter-et-
tiers and news from all parts of the world, extracts
from European journals, &C., &C., and perhaps more
than ALL because it is literally newspaper, and new
fails to come at the proper time and we'll filled
These are some of the reasons of your large sub
scripton. Do you but fail in these things and you
will soon find your issue one half what it now is;
and it would go lower still. As to the political in
fuence of the N. Y. Herald, we do not believe that
it can command one hundred votes outside the Her.
aid Office. Otherwise, why did you not prevail when
you almost moved heaven and earth, some months
ago. to defeat Mr.. Banks Speaker of the House of
Representatives.? You were at that time strongly
opposed to Banks and the black Republican party;
but with all your influence against them they have
sprung into existence with Banks as one OF their
foremost leaders, and Fremont their candidate for
the Presidency, ald yourself supporter of that
party that but few months before you sought to
crush.
Again, if your influence is so all-powerful, why
did you not succeed in crushing Comptroller Flagg,
of the>city of New York. If ever man made al
mighty efforts to defeat another, then you did in
his case, but we see that Mr.. Flagg is again Comp
troller and all the abuse and calumny heaped upon
him by the N. Y. Herald, failed, and justly, too, to
defeat him. Again, in the case of Senator Seward,
did you not exert yourseto the full extent of your
Abilities for months before the election to defeat for
the place of Senator for six years for the State of
New York, that arch-fend, as you called him. You
did, but Mr. Seward was elected, and is now strong
or than ever. We might speak of your efforts at
the South. We allude to your efforts to defeat Mr..
Wise; but it seems you increased his majority. In
deed it appears that your hostility instead of inju
ring greatly benefits those to whom you are oppos.
ed, and conscientousy believe that such will be
the effect of your hostility to the great Democratic
party-to the South and Southern people. Rail on,
then, rail on-we do not fear you as an enemy nor
would we esteem you as friend. j. B. w.
