The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1862-07-01

and trying to make him Governor, it is not improper
to MAKE known what the Standard said about Mr..
Vance three years ago. We have never abused Mr..
Vance the Standard has, and do not intend to do
co. although his name is now being used for party
purposes. The Standard accused Mr. Vance of CO.
operating with the Black Republicans in Congress and
out of it, and here is the proof of what We say. We
copy the following from the Standard of May, 1859:
GALL THE ELEMExrs"-The Boston Atlas, the organ
Of Gov Banks invites the whole body of the conserya
tive opposition" to assemble in Baltimore next spring,
to nominate candidates for the Presidency AID Vice
Presidency Responding to the recent action OF the
Know NOthings of Maryland it says:
ITO the foregoing give hearty concurrence. We
dcsr union OF the opposition in 1860 We desire to
m Convention 10 nominate candidates tor the tive hghest
Offices in the government delegates from all the States i'll
the Union desire 10 see in that Snven9G such men
add Others of North CatOlna John NJ Bolts and Judge
Summers OF Virginia. H. Winter Davis and Morrison Harris
OF Maryland and gentlemen OF representative position IN the
several Southern States Let meet like countrynen, as
PATRIOTS and what be done to unite ns in one solid
phaanx 10 defeat the parry now IN power winch has cor
ruPted the youth and introduced gods the city
and TO the lips OF which the cup OF henlock shonld be
pressed"
Mr.. Rayner Mr.. Graham, Mr.. VANCE and Mr.. Gill
mer specially called upon TO meet the Atlas and
its friends in Convention What will the high toned,
Southern Rights people of the Fifth and Eighth Dis
tricts say that? How is it that Messrs. Gmer and
VANCE specially singled and complimented
by the organ of black Republican Banks of Massa-
cEusetts? We can say to the Atlas that its call
for union of the "who!e body of conservative oppo
siton is being responded to in North Carolina. Messrs
Gilner, VANCE and Leach are responding on the
. stump, and we shall hear the notes from
pr Shaws opponent in the First District. Nearly
every meeting of the opposition" in this State has
recommended, in cautious manner it is true, this
fusion of the opposition forces Raleigh Standard Of
Nlp 1859.
What do Mr. Yance's old political friends think of
the above? Can't they sec that the Standard is
using Mr. Vance only for selfish, party purposes And
is it surprising that Mr. Vance should
the of his name by paper that dealt harshly
with him in 1859?
BY the way, it is worthy of that the Standard
desiCnacs its party by the identical maine that it
applied to the Republicans and know-nothings-to a-
| StrCatires
But here is another assault on Mr.. Vance bv the
Standard. 1t will be that that paper charges
directly that Mr. Vance co-operated with the Black
Republicans, and intimates that he cared nothing for
his country. The Standard of July 1859, said
RsE7r Bear in mind that John A. Gilnlcr and T. 3.
VANCE operated with the Black Republicans in de-
teating the Postoflce appropriation BILL bs which de-
feat the people being deprived of of their
accustomed mail facilities If mail routes refused
or discontinued by the Department if agents
dismissed, remember that this is not the fault of
shaw or Scales, or Winslow, Rutfn. Craige,
Branch. or of the administration, but of Gilmer and
VANCE and the Black Republicans. Let the people
generally know these facts. The motto of such
berS of Congress as Gmer and VANCE is any thing to
"1odnce the interest Of the opposition omd inre the Demo-
cratic parity. What is it them if the country does
suffer if their peculiar views he carried out ,?
R0tei9h St"nd0Td Of Juiy 1859
And again, the Standard in August, 1859, speaking
of the complexion of the House of Representatives
said:
The Black Republicans have two objects in view
one is to limit and destroy African slavery within the
forms of the Constitutions and the other is enjoy
the honors and patronage of the government The
Southern Know Nothings also have two objects in
vewone is to CRAFTY their hatred Of Democracy, and
the other is to divide with their opposition brethren
the honors and the spols of Office Depend npon it,
they will act substantially together Mr.. Gimer, Mr..
VANCE, Mr. Leach and Mr.. Smith will at least remain
neutral in contest between national Democrat and
a Black Republican for the Presidency
We copy these things show the old friends of Mr.
Vance that the Standard has time and again assailed
him, and never had any love respect for him until
it that he could be used with prospect of sue
in the present contest for Governor The Editor
of the Standard ire-catng Sccessionst in 1889
and denounced every public who did not CO.
operate with him He then for and opposed to
Vance lie is NOR for Vance, and trying divide the
people OF the State into two parties
We hope before friends of the Fayetteville OBJ
server again lecture u.s. they will administer a gentle
rebuke 10 the Standard for abusing Mr. Vance and
Mr. Gilmer for party purposes"
JuGGLrE& Political ngglcrs distracted and divided
ihe people in the old Government, and contributed
much to bring into the condition in which we now
lind elNeS.-GrceRSboro Patriot
Exactly But why does the Patriot favor the
election of political juggler to the office of Governor
of this State? Soon after Mr. Vance was 81 wears old
he for Office, and has been candidate for some
sort of an office every year two since. He has been
professional ofce-seeker and political juggIer"
We have time and again protested against eecting old
political trcksterS TO Offices of Importance and we had
hoped that the Greensboro Patriot and all other
papers would have assisted in inaugur,tng a new
rule in this respect, but fear they have too much of
the ''od party feeling yet to permit them try
men. Mr. Vance is politician and whatever ex-
perience he has he acquired in Washington city, that
sink of niquitv. Mr. Johnston is politician and
never has been--hc is good business man and
knows how business ought be trausactcd-he is not
afraid of work hinScif.
We dcprecate contest in the State this time and
were anxious avoid il, but the Standard, which
brought Mr. Vance forward rs a candidate determined
there should be political feeling and in order
TO prevent a union man gave the following adj
vice its friends:
IIr trust the Conservatives lrW ngree TO no
compromise 0r fusion c'h their npp0nents Thpy
haze tie P0lccr-'et them crclt IL cuerutrhere"
Mr. Vance accepted the nomination rendered BY the
editor Of the Standard. and we presume he endorses
the Standard and its proscriprc advice
