Independent Press"
Gnorth the above caption the Warrenton Meas
asks the question whether it is true as stated by
the Raleigh Standard, that the Wilmington Journal
Goldstoro Tribune, Murfrcesboro' Citizen Tarboro
Mercury Fayetteville Caroinian, Western Sentinel
Salisbury Banner, and Charlotte Democrat decid-
edly and strongly approve the it has pursued
IT'S reckIess assertion made for circulation
among gits own subscribers We ask these respect
whele ~ ]. .recognize Holden as having the pow.
by the ~Denaocratic party OF
North Caroiina of killing and making alive the
public of the State, that Is part Of his re-
cent course.
| Now as we for requested to come out
boldly, we shall do So and in doing, we wish to
be understood as speaking !" Independently" not
only our sentiments but those of the great De-
mocracy of Richmond, Moore, Harnett, Cumberland,
Robson, Bladen and every other county where we
circulate and where we have had any opportunity
of conversing with the prominent men of the party,
and we say most emphatically that the course of
W. w. Holden, Editor of the Raleigh Standard has
the unqualified and unlimited confidence of the peo-
pie who compose the party these various sections
And farther that his political is and has been
approved by them and by us, a above
proach and contumely, and SO long as the Standard
is conducted in the very able and irreproachable
manner in which it has, it shall always receive the
respect, the confidence and support Of the Demo-
cratic masses.
When however, the Standard forgets to do right,
we will condemn it and raise voice against it.
If it does wrong, the party will 'kilt' it. If it
does right it will meet with and continue to receive
that lively support which it has always merited
We deny that Mr.. Holden can kill or make alive
That thing is reserved for the People-the demo-
cratic people Of the State nation. We have
er known Mr.. Holden to try to kill make -.
any of the public men Of the State. We c.a- 40,
condemn hii for that until he ;las Az. tied to do
it. y &C recognize such power in any man, fer il
is the especial province Of the to act in that
capacity The news says:
'Speak out gentlemen, will record your
swer. Who wears the Raleigh Dictator's dog col
lar?"
According to the Neu0s any who speaks in
favor of Mr. Holden or is so unhappy as to approve
of his political course must 8 dog collar"
We 1epudate all collars let it be collars infaitum
or dog collars, and would caution those who speak
so to examine that portion of Holy Writ which
says Let him that standeth take heed lest he fall
in other words, men should examine their own
throttle before they others of wearing dog
collars
We have uniformally admired the talents display
ed by our friend of the News, but not consci-
entiously fall in with it in its peculiar views.
Inconsistency.
The Pittsburgh (Pa.) Post, who has lately pitched
summersault from being most rabid Admins
tration paper to be squatter sovereignty Douglas
mouth piece, contains whole column of extracts
alleged to have been taken from southern papers
favorable to the 6 little giant
Now there is great inconsistency in endeavoring
to lead the Northern Democrats to believe that
Douglas is looked upon with any degree of favor in
the South. Some of the papers quoted by the Post
| we know to be opposed to Douglas. The Edgefeld
Advertiser though it did support him is now down
upon him. In fact thee is not paper in South
/ Carolina except one the Columbia So. Carolinian
which would support him if nominated and it is a
fact over which there be cavil that with
Douglas as the nominee of the Charleston Conven-
ton aciH be defeated.
! In the State of North Carolina there is not pa
per in his favor. With his unrighteous theory of
territorial sovereignty he ought to be consigned to
the shades of bissful retiracy in the democratic
party.
In that paper find the following senti-
ments by John G. Calhoun in 1s4S:
| " mold that Justice and the constitution are the
easiest and safest ground which the question can
be settled, regarded in reference to party. 1t may
be settled on the ground simply by mon-actlon, by
| tearing the Territories free and open to the en,-
grafton Of all the aoortd If party cannot safely
take this broad and solid position and successfully
maintain it, what other can it take and maintain -
| IA We learn by the Franklin Observer that
the county of Macon has taken fifty thousand dol
lars In the Blue Ridge Railroad The Magistrates
OF jackson county have submitted to the citizens of
that county the propriety of taking fifty thousand
dollars stock in the road This will make with the
private subscription heretofore3 made, the sum of
one hundred and fifty -twothousand dollars.
! RoBEsoN CoUNTY.-The session of Superior Court
terminated on Saturday last Judge Caldwell is one
of the most laborious men we have ever seen. He
was in the Court House during the whole week from
a. m. till p. There was only upon
the criminal docket that report in todays issue.
Judge c. is of the oldest iurists upon the
bench, and by his his untiring energy and legal
quirements he has the confidence and esteem Of
the bar, and indeed every who has the pea i.'.
| Of his acquaintance.
