To TIE REscUE.-Had we not been acquainted
with the Salisbury Waterman, and known that, old
line Wing it pretends to be- it was any thing to
be opposed to Democracy, we should have been
somewhat astonished to find it defending the Fay.
etteville Argus for denouncing old line Wings as
"traitors and tories" and venting its wrath upon
the Standard for exposing the Argus and defending
old line Wings. AS it is, we are not at all surprised
But it does seem to us that when those to whom
e. Al II
them, they the epithets) are not wholly unjust.
The truth is the Waterman was bound to 60 the
K. N. stripe, nolens cozens because K Nism was
opposed to Democracy; and finding itself denounc-
ed by K. N. elector, as "traitor and tory" it
swallows the sweet morsels defends him by whom
the epithets applied and pitches into the STAN
dard like a mad goat, horns and all. The Standard
has survived many a worse shock, and will live
through this The wrnger-in.ge general" is so close
a neighbor to the Waterman that it dare not say
it has soul of its own. 1t can only accuse US OF
"a vile attempt to take advantage of the bad pas
sions of men," Let the people judge where the
gileness is. It thinks the language of the Argus
"inconsiderate and unguarded." Cameron says,
YOU, Mr.. .Bruner are tory and a traitor. Now,
Cameron, replies Bruner, that Is e unguarded and
inconsderate" language; but no matter, I'm going
for K. Nism anyhow, and if anybody attacks you
for calling me such names, I'll defend YOU Of
course there is nothing ollie about that 1t is the
very quintessence of meekness-and little more So
az We hear good deal from the K. N. presses
and speakers about the danger to our institutions
from foreigners who, they charge are generally abb
olitionists Yet it is fact that outside OF Penn
sylvania the great bulk Of the Northern vote in the
House of Representatives for the Kansas-Nebraska
act, came from the Northwest where it is said the
foreign population controls the elections Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan cast
twenty-five votes on the measure- thrteen for, and
twelve against it; while from all the six New Eng
{ land States, composed mainly of native population,
there were but three votes for it We state this on
the authority of MIR. Stephens. Of Georgia, VINO
made the calculation with some care.
The truth is,she Yankee States are the most con-
frmed and dangerous in their abolition sentiments
and all the leading abolitonists are natioes-
