Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1860-02-18
Standing Committees of the House.

1t will be that the important Chairmanships
have been pretty equally divided by Mr. Speaker
Pennington between the black Republicans and
Southern Know Nothngs.. 1t will also be seen that
the national Democratic party has been,almost en-
tirely ignored in the appointment of these commit
tees. This of itself shows who the black Republic
cans regard as their great antagonist They
very willing to have the services, in important posi-
tons, of Southern Know Nothings; but they are
very careful to exclude Democrats from all such
posts. Let the people reflect on these things They
are taets, which every one may see and understand
for himself
