As the Raleigh Standard is now engaged in praising
Mr. Vance so avishly, and trying to make him Govern
or, it is not improper to make known what the Stand
and said about Mr. Vance three years ago. We have
never abused Mr.. Vance the Standard has, ard do
not intend to do so although his is now being
used for party purposes. The Standard accused Mr..
Vance OF cooperating 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 -
ALL ELEMENTS THE Boston Atlas, the organ of
Gov Banks, invites the " whole body the
opposition to assemble in Baltimore spring to nom
nate candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency
Responding to the recent action of the Know Nothugs of
Maryland, it says -
To the fore going give hearty concurrence. We
desire union of the opposition in 1860 We desire to meet
Offices in the government delegates all the
the Union We desire to in that OnYenton such men
as Kenneth Rayner, Mr. GiImer, Mr.. Vance Mr. Graham
ard others of North Carolina John Bolts and Judge
Summers of Virginia; Fl. Winter Davis and Morrison Hars
OF Maryland and gentlemen OF representative position in
PATRIOTS and what be done to unite IN
solid phaanx to defeat the party now power, which has
corrupted the youth and introduced strange gods into the
city, and to the lips of which the cup of helock should
Mr.. Rayper Mr. Graham Mr. VANCE and Mr. Gilmer are
specially called upon meet the Atlas and its friends
Convention What will the high-toned Southern Rights
is it that Messrs. Gmer and VANCE specially singled
out and complimented iy the organ OF Black Republican
that its call for of the whoe body of
tive opposition is being responded to in North Carolina
stump and we Shall soon hear the same notes from Dr.
shaw opponent in the First District Nearly every meet
ing Cf 1.-THE opposition this State has recommended
cautious it is true this fusion Of the opposition
forces.-~ Raleigh Standard Of May, 1859.
What do Mr.. Vances old political Fl lends think Of
the above? Can't they see that the andard is now
using Mr.. Vance only for selfish party purposes And
is it not surprising that Mr. Vance should consent to
| fho ~ fl,ok Ioolf
with him in 1859?
By the way, it is worthy of note that the STANDARD
now desgnates its party by the Identical that it
applied to to the Republicans and Know- Nothugs-
| Conservatives.
But here is another assault on Mr. Vance by ths
Standard. 1t will be seen that that paper charges
directly that Mr.. Vance co-operated with the Black
Republicans, ard nmates that LIE cared nothing fcl
bis country. The Standard of July, 1859, said:
Rs Bear in mand that John A. Gilmer and T. B. VANCE
cooperated with the Black Republicans in defeating ths
Postofce appropriation BILL by which defeat the people
beipg deprived Of CT their accustomed mail aCi
ties. If mail refused discontinued by the De
partment, route agents dismissed, remember tina
this not the fault of Shaw Scales, Wnslow Ruff
fin, or Craig or Branch or of the administration but
Gimer and VANCE and the Black Republicans. Let the
people generally know these facts. The sucf
members of Congress as Gimer and ANCE, is any thn
10 adOance the interest of the opposition and ryHre h
suffer if their peculiar views be carried cut Rceig
Standard Of July, 1859.
ADQ again. the Standard ID august, 1S09, speaking
of the complexion of the House Of Representative
said -
" The Black Republicans have objects in v:ew-on
is to limit and destroy African slavery within the forms
the Constitution and the other enjoy the honors
patronage of the government. The Southern Know Noh
ngs alsO have two objects in vieW0ne is crafty the
hatred of Democracy and the other is TO divide with the
opposition brethren the honors and the spoils of office
Depend upon it, they will act substantially together. 81
Glmer, Mr. VANCE, Mr. Leach and Mr. Smith will at leas
remain neutral in contest between national Democre
and Black Republican for the Presidency"
We copy these things to show the old friends of Nh
Vance that the Standard has time and again assae
him. and never had any love respect for him until
saw that he could be used with prospect Of sue
cess in the present contest for Governor. The EdtO
of the Standard eating Secessionst in 1855
and denounced every public who did not cooperat
with him. He was then for war and opposed to Vance
He is now for Vance, and trying to divide the peop
of the State in two parties
We hope before our friends of the Fayetteville o.
server again lecture u.s. they will administer gent
rebuke to the Standard for abusing Mr.. Vance and
y Gimer for parry purposes"
