Those Dispatches.


with many curses on account Of certain dispatches
ra published lust before the election. All We have
to saw is that those dispatches were issued from the
telegraph Office here with responsible names attach
Cd Not one of them was directed to us, but we saw
them all, and had no reason to doubt their truthful
ness. In the main they were true.-Ad VGtorem
Banner.
The dispatches referred to were also published IN
extras from the Standard Office. The substance OF
them was that the force bi!r' had been defeated and
that the House Of Representatives had voted for
COMPROMISE The facts, which have become history,
fully sustain these dispatches. In the first place.
the force bill" was defeated; and in the second
place both houses of Congress voted by two-thlrds
to make slavery perpetual in the States The cry oil
the disunionists was that the black Republicans
would be enssting men within ten days in this State
to make war on the South; and that the black Re
pubcans would abolish slavery in the States and
establish white and black equality. This cry was
answered BY the dispatches above referred to.
II the "game were worth the candle" we might
90 on to expose at length the lying dispatches got
ten I'D and issued from the Journal office in this
City. We give few extracts from an extra issued
from that Office, intended to influence the election
Here they are:
1.-THE Force Bill not defeatedI'
"a blow at slavery in the StateSP
at is as certain as that there is God IN Heaven
that the black Republicans mean no compromise,
and 90 for coercion The seeded States are to be
whipped in"
The foregoing lies are so numerous and so close
together that as the boys say at school they
"scrouge" each other.
But the same extra, dated the 2Sth of February,
contains the following
"STARTLINGW
Amendment prohibiting abolition by Congress
in the States, rejected. L. OBJ BRANCH"
Did Mr.. Branch send that We cannot believe
it We believe what we said at Green Level in re-
ply to Mr. Lewis, tnat John Spelman got up most Of
the dispatches he issued himself and that he altered
and misdated them to suit himself We repeat
what we stated at Green Level that We would moi
believe him on oath in any matter in which he was
interested or in any matter in which he had receiv
ed orders from his masters. We said that, and we
stick to it
The truth is the Unionists in the late campaign
triumphed alike over treason, passion, fraud, and
falsehood and it may be, British gold The people
on the 2sth of February, dealt the conspirators
against the Union of the States, and against the
rights, the interests and the safety of North-Caro
lima, mortal blow. The beast of DisuniOn was
wounded unto death, but he still has power as he
writhes in his final agony. Let us finish him. Lei
the people set their mark on the agitators and dis
turbers of their peace Let the good work of crush
ing out the Yanceytes go on. Let them attempt
if they dare, to inaugurate revolution in North
Carolina. The people have spoken, and it becomes
conspirators to hide their heads. When the eagle
is abroad let the bats and owls retire to their holes
