by the most incontroverrable evidence, and
having in addition thereto replied to aud
refutcd those irrelevant charges and affirm
..tious, that Franklin made use OF the Sun
day School as al abolition institution,
aud that he was on terms of political SYM
pathy or social intimacy with me, now,
after having stood up to all these charges,
and fairly and squarely met and defeated
them, choose, in nv turn, to assume the Of
fensiyc and to show up, as they deserve, to
the public, the parties who, by their own
acknow edgementE, stand convicted OF re-
sponsibility for Franklin's official connec-
ton with the Beech Glenn community And
rs the first step to that end, now ask At-
tcntion to the cards of S. II. B. Carter and
Wm. otterson, published in Burns letter
in last Fridays issue of the Wheeling
Union. Those two gentlemen, bearinmind,
were and are the School Commissioners of
the Beech Glenn district, and are the very
two men who on each and every occasion
that Franklin was chosen teacher did the
choosing of him. Yet they, knowing that
this was the case, knowing that knew 1t
to be so, have the astounding efrCntery or
stupidity whichever they choose1 to come

Matters in Kashngton-7zs stato of Afairs.

WASHINGTON Dec IA better feeling exists to-
day among the Congressman generally.
The Southerners are consulting in reference to
the present and future positions of the South
1t is believed that strong movement is being in
itiated outside of Congress- as foreshadowed in the
National Intetlingencer's leader of this morning.
The President has given assurances that he will
not reinforce the Forts in Charleston harbor. He
says that Major Anderson, who has command of
Fort Moultrie, has not asked for more troops, and
that there is the best feeling between the citizens
and the garrison.
All the members of the Select Committee have
agreed to serve except Mr.. Boyce, of s. c., and Mr..
Hawkins, of Florida Mr.. Hamilton, of Texas, has
not yet arrived.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The collector of the port
at Boston drew from the Treasury on Friday last
to pay the salaries of officers the receipts of
the week being sufficient for that purpose.
The Southern Senator'S held caucus at the Capt.
tol yesterday for the purpose of consultation and in
terchange of views. Although the utmost good
feeling prevailed, there were no indications tending
to belief of any harmonious action among them
Messrs. Powell and Crittenden made strong appeals
There was no proposition put forth requiring vote
The caucus adjourned without any hope or prospect
of the continuance of the Union and full belief
that at least seven cotton States will secede.

A Tissue of Misrepresentation.

4 Raleigh correspondent of the Wilmington Jour-
nal has given that paper false and one-sided ac-
count of events in this place connected with the
speeches of Messrs. Boyce and Ashmore and the
Constitutional Union meetings held here. This cor
RESPONDENT says of Mr. Boyces speech "the applause
was great from the Democrats present. and the po-
stions taken THAT is for immediate disunion highly
satisfactory" He also says the Opposition Kissed,
and the Democrats appauded Mr.. Ashmore"-
Now, we protest against this attempt to commit
Democrats to dsunion 1t is true that men of all
parties applauded Mr. Boyee when he uttered sound
sentiments and some, regret to say. Kissed him
but there party feeling either in the applause
or the kissing, so far as could see. Weapplaud-
ed him with others, when he said North Carolina
would never submit to indgnties or injustice at the
hands of dominant sectional majority; but when
he advised disunion for present causes, and de-
nounccd the Union of the States we felt as indig-
nant no doubt as those who Kissed him. The truth
is, not more than one man in ten of those present.
approved of the views of Messrs. Boyce and Ash
more The positions they assumed were not, there
FORE highly satisfactory" Indeed, it required no
small effort the part of persons of both parties to
induce the Union men to give them hearing; and
we now state that there were many persons present
Of both parties who but for appeals that were made
to them not to do so, tcoutd hare preOented these
gentlemen from speaking. So much for the relia-
biity of the Journals correspondent
But the Journals correspondent goes on to say
that ''th6 Opposition held Union meeting in the
Commons Hall" on Saturday night This is another
flsehoOd The meeting was composed of persons
ofal parties 1t was called as Constitutional
IiOn meeting, and of course those in favor of dis
union took no part in it But the Democrats who
were in it are just true those who refused to
participate. We know one, at least who took part
in the meetin who never bolted convention or
failed to support nominee. But what has party to
do with such question as this? Nothing at all
The fre-eaters admit this so far they con-
cerned; but if Union Democrat takes the same
view and acts accordingly, they denounce him an
"OPpnStonist" But they are acting under orders
from headquarters, and we must censure the COM
mander rather than the men who shoot paper bullets
at Union Democrats.

The LEGISLATURE.


We invite attention to the proceedings of Satur-
d,y and Monday, in the Standard to-day.
On Monday Hon. Bedford Brown introduced some
resolutions in the Senate, providing for the appoint
ment of Commissioners to South-Carolina, to urge
that State to pause in her course and also to such
other Southern States may be contemplating sepa-
rate or hasty action The gentlemen proposed as Com
missoners are Thomas Rufin, ST., VIM. A. Graham,
Weldon N Edwards, and W. N H. Smith. The reso-
Iutions we're evidently not acceptable to extreme
men in the Senate. There are those who are acting
IS if they would have bad get worse, and who are
disposed to to it that the prediction is fulfilled
which was made in the recent dsunion meeting in
the Commons Hail. that the Electoral vote of We'd
nesay last the last which will be cast in the pre-
sent Union. Extreme men in the present crisis
seem to dread every thing which favors elaboration
or Cancellation. The State must be precipitated,
ont of the Union, and noao is the tinel
Col Browns resolutions, after considerable de-
bate, were made the order of the day for to-day at
twelve o'clock. Col. Browns remarks on introdu-

Ninetenths of the people are opposed to the pres

The very reverse is the fact. Wayne county even
is Union county. The people of this State are in
favor of the Union as it now exists; and they will

destroying it for existing causes. watch and

Watch and ualt"-that is still our motto. Old
Putnam watched and waited at Bunker Hill until he
saw the whites Of his enemies eyes, FIVE watch"
We will be ready when the danger comes, if come it
should; if We wait we will be able to unite and
act as one man. But if We divide contest with
our abolition enemies, then areceU TO SLAVERY. We

Watch and Wait" The hot-headed the impul-
sve, the ambitious and those who have but little at
Stake, and who might prosper even in the midst of
revolution, may sneer at that motto; but the day
will come when they will acknowledge its correct
ness. Old Buck says Watch and Wait" Who
doubts his fidelity to the South? Who calls ham a
Submissionist?

p The iGoldsborough Rougd Notes has copied
from the State Journal of this place editorial in
which our Senate Reporter, Mr.. w. Il. Finch is
spoken of as ian understrapper of the Standard
office" Mr.. Finch is respectable and intelligent
young gentleman, who reports for the Standard in
the Senate, the Editor of the State Journal did
last session. If that situation makes him an e I'M
derstrapper" then Mr. Spelinan last session just
what he says Mr. Finch is now. The State Journal
insinuates that Mr.. Finch is paid by the Standard
for his letters to the Petersburg Express This is
not true. We have nothing to to do with what he
writes for that paper.
Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1860-12-11

We are authorized by Mr.. Coleman to state in
reference to the Standards assertion that he was
elected Solicitor over Mr.. Burton because ofhis "con
servatism that that paper had no authority to speak
for him on that question.-State Journal
There is nothing in article referred to by the
Journal calculated to leave the impression that
spoke by Mr.. Coleman's authority. We stated the
fact and we repeat it that Mr.. Burton was defeated
because he was avowed disunionist. We knoU
this to be so. Mr.. Coleman ioas regarded as more
conservative than Mr.. Burton; and we have no hes
itation in saving that if he had been avowed dis
unionist he would have been defeated also. We say
this without the slightest personal feeling in the
matter.
Some of our contemporaries have expressed sur
prise that we defeated for State Printer because
we were for the Union, and Mr.. Burton for Solicitor
because he was against it. This is easily explained.
The Constitutional Union feeling was stronger when
Mr.. Coleman was nominated than it was at the first
of the session; and so strong is it now that we will
venture to say that no ayowed disunionist will be
elected to any Office hereafter by the present Legis
lature The voice of the people is rolling in tones
of thunder through the Capitol We hear from
whole communities of Democrats and from Counties
containing thousands of voters of all parties, who
opposed at this time to dissolution, and who stand
ing on the admirable and patriotic message of Mr..
Buchanan, will give the incoming administration,
as much as they dislike it. fair trial. :" 1t is not
every wrong-nay, it is not every grievous wrong"
saws Mr.. Buchanan, which will justify resort to
revolution and civil war. We stand just there side
by side with the Presdent-and who will say that
he has not been true to the sayeholding States? OF
the one hundred and ten thousand voters in this
State we do not believe that twenty-five thousand
are at this time in favor of dissoving the Union.
Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1860-12-11

The amendments to the Constitution suggested
by the President will never be made nor would
they DC in time to do anything, even if made We
fear that the die is cast Dissolution is inevitable
-WiL Journal.
So says Mr.. Iverson and other fire-eaters, who
propose to assassinate Gen. Houston because he is
true to the Constitution and the Union. Temporal
nv dissolution, we admit, is inevitable. You, Mr..
Fulton, had your full share in producing it. Mr.
Yancey is largely responsible for it, and you would
have seeded with him at Charleston if You had
thought the time had come Undue agitation by
demagogues North and South has led to impending
dissolution. But South Carolina will rue it in blood
and tears. The "cotton States" when converted
into black empire, will rue it in blood and tears
All patriots every where will depore it as the most
fatal blow ever struck at the happiness of the hu-
man race. But the people of this State are still I'M
committed to this dreadful movement They have
thus far known the federal government only in ben
e6ts and blessings. They will not abandon it for
existing causes Theyare as true now to themselves
and to the great principles of civil liberty they
were in 1775 but they are not ready to follow bad
men like Yancey into night over which no ray of
light is shed. Let the South Carolina ogarchs 90
out. but day ofreckoning awaits them. The free
of that State will yet rise in their majesty and
teach them their places and their duty.
