Malice and Meanness.

An Editorial in the last Signal, aimed at the AS
sociate Editor of the Standard is of such charac-
ter that the Associate will not burden the columns
o. the Standard with reply. There is neither
wit, humor nor decency in it. 1t is characterized
by malice and meanness throughout; and is evil
IDENTIFY the production of low, base mind. The
a:lusion to an old personal matter between Hon.
John Kerr and ourself-a matter that concerned no
one but Mr.. Kerr and ourself, and which has been
honoraby settled-is that no gentleman would
have made. 1t is characteristic of cowardly sneak
Who the writer is we neither know nor care; for
it is circumstance not strange true, that the
Standard is the only political paper published in
Raleigh whose Editors are known to the public.
We shall hereafter deal with the Signal and its
unknown Editor or Editors may think prop
If silent contempt will answer our purpose, we
shall prefer it, if not, we shall pursue different
course.
AS to the little filings of that little concern, the
Register, profoundly Indifferent, and hope its
little Editor Gf it has one,O may grow bigger and
better.

Government Movements wsth Regard to Kansas.
WAsu1NaTowN, Sept. ia despatch to the fol-
lowing effect has been forwarded to Gov. Geary:
"If the militia to which previous orders were

AGAINST HIS OWN SEcrIoN.-The Edenton Banner
says there three candidates for the Presidency
mat Mr.. Buchanan and Col. Fremont are sectional
Candidates, and Mr.. Fillmore national candidate.
Mr. Buchanan he says, is the Southern candidate.
lie goes against Mr.. Buchanan, and therefore, &C.
'ofaing to his own showing, he goes against his on
section and his State. We shall not stop to ex-
pose the absurdity, to use no stronger term of the
Aotors statement of the matter. Every intelligent
person knows that Mr.. Buchanan is national-Fre-
.uont sectional, and that Mr. Fillmore is hardly in

THE "MIeHTY MEN" CALLED oN.-A writer in:the

Signal says:
1.-THE defeat in the late election instead of involving the
defeat of Fillmore November only renders it
that united and patriotic effort put forth by those
whose positions command most respect and consideration.
Let John NJ Morehead, VIM A. Graham, Kenneth Rayner,
H. W. Miller David Outlaw, and like these, unite in
active every part of the State and the con-
test scarcely be doubtful one"
Very well-let US have the efforts Of these
"migbty men of renown." Let US see, however,
who they are. Gov. Morehead, it was rumored, was
willing to accept seat in the Legislature from Gull
ford hut lie not voted tor The people aoanted
statesmen, and so they reelected D. F. CALDWELL
Gov. Graham did not venture to stand canvass in
Orange but he did all he could to defeat Mr.. Cam
eron for the Senate, and failed. That was good
Mr. Rayner did not venture to stand canvass in
HEREFORD and the County went for the K. Ms by a
diminished majority. He, however, made some
speeches, and wrote letter, which benefited the
Democratic cause at least five hundred votes. Mr..
Miller thought of running for the Senate in Wake,
but prudently gave i. up. He also made speeches
for Gilmer, and gains for Bragg. Mr.. Outlaw was
reelected in BERTHE, just some was elected in
Wilkes-by the force of party drill.
Bring out your big guns, gentlemen We want
excitement, so as to ensure full vote for Mr.. Bu-
chanan.
