the sequa that it will have its labor for its pains
The Register claims not AMI aspires not to any con.
troll over its political friends Unlike the Standard
the Register claims no authority to say who is and
who is not Wing or American, or "reject, disoxn,
and utterly repudate" any body for difference Of
opinion on single poin. Of policy We knew and
highly esteemed the Patriot and Flag long before
we were enrolled in the editorial corps of the Old
North State, and while regret much that differs
in opinion from US, that circumstance shall never
prevent our bearing testimony to the zeal, fidelity,

more mature consideration of the matter will recon.

policy, which, while it sacrifices not single Wing
and American principle, would secure great good,
and patriotic end, time alone can tell. In the mean
time, we would guggest to our Greensboro friend
that he lives in such strong Wing and American
community that he may lose sight Of the difficulties
which beset the party other quarters Of the State
Every thing in his vicinity is Colour de rose but he
must remember it is not so elsewhere.
The above is the leader, in FULL from the last Ra.
leigh Re 7ister aud surely that paper should not be
surprised at the fact set forth in the classic lines at
the head of it's article. Dogs bark, just as men
laugh at the ridiculous OF the fantastic; and while
"Tray. Blanche and eSweetheart," like the Greene
boroa Patriot and Flag, bay the Register on &C.
count Of its "utre costume, the Democratic party
laughs at it as one Of the most fantastic figures ever
exhibited on the political stage. Unlike harequins
in general the Regster seems unconscious that tits
its ridiculous appearance that creates the uproar
around it. and attributes that uproar its formid
able aspect and awe.inspiring attitude. Never was
self deception more complete, nor selfimportancs
more over-rated. So, h. T. ~.
But to dismiss the doggish similitudcs instituted
by our eneighbor, We are at luss TO imagine po'
sition more humiliating than that of the Register

ton I'd Democracy, from Whiggery down through
Know Nothipgsm, American Whiggery. &C.; and
in oil its changes it has denounced as traitors and
renegades'n those who refused to follow it Now it
hasabatdoned all these old positions and is intent
on hunting up and supporting some nondescrlPt,
dsorganizing Democrat who, by rule much more
just than that heretofore applied to Wings by the
