The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1862-07-15

/. ANOTHER MIsREPREsENTATIoN.-Th Raleigh Stand
ard number of papers in this State which it
says have vilIified and beled many of the best
in the State by calling them traitors" Among the
papers thus accused is the Charlotte Democrat. We
deny the charge-we say it is untrue We have never
called many any of the best Of the State
traitors. Notwiths anng the bad conduct of the ed-
tor of the Standard since the commencement of the
war, have called him traitor. 1t is the
Standard that is to blame for calling traitors in
this State before the began Has that paper forgot
ten how it abused Mr. Vance, MIR Gilmer, Mr. Graham
and others? Is it not we'll known that late as 1859
it accused Z. B. Vance and John A. Gilmer of CO.
operating with the Black Republicans We will again
refresh the editors memory by quoting from the Stand
ard of 1885, follows:
'Bear in mind that Jno. A. Gmer and q. B. VANCE
operated with the Black Republicans in defeating
the post-ofce appropriation bill, by which defeat the
people being deprived of some OF their accustomed
mail facilities"
"The motto of such members of Congress as Gimcr
and VANCE is, anything to advance the interest of
the opposition and injurc the Democratic party hot
is it to them if the country does suffer- If their peculiar
cfe'rs can be carried out7"
"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 South
Know Nothings also have objects in view-one
is to crafty their hatred of Democracy, and tho other
is divide with their opposition brethren the honors
and the spos of office. Depend upon it, they will
substantially together. Mr.. Gilmer Mr.. VANCE, Mr.
Leach and Mr. Smith will at least remain neutral in
contest between National Democrat and a Black Re-
publican for the Presidency"
Now ask the reader to say who lie subject to the
charge of calling citizens of this State traitors? See
how the Standard abused Mr. Vance and Mr. Gilmer in
1859, and then remember how it is boot licking them
for party purposes. What do the heightened
people of North Carolina think of such conduct?
SISGULAR.-The Wadesboro Argus saws that the
kitchen of Mr.. S. Smith, Lilesve, burnt re-
Gently, and sta ties the origin of the fire thus:
"a small quantity of meal parched substitute
for coffee placed in sack while hot and by spon-
taneous combustion something else, produced the
fire. Suspectlng the the matter has since been
fully tested, and doubt remains origin
OF the fire. or the fact that parched meal will
produce fire. So, be on your guard We whom the war
and blockade have deprived of coffee"
->~->
na~ We informed that in some of the camps it
is denied that the Standard supports Mr. Vance And
we sometimes told by Vance that we must
say anything against Vance but dcnounce Holden
much possible. We tell them that Mr. Vance is no
better than Mr. Holden-he is not Hodens equal in
ability. Then why should any go for Vance and
oppose Holden--why should it be denied that the
Standard supports Vance? We don't aim TO abuse
either Mr. Vance Mr. Holden-but it is right that the
truth should be made known about them they are both
wire-pullng politicians.
Mr. Vance has a reputation for being a clever
las he ought beg and first rate hand telling
anecdote. That's ALL
CoRN.-The Savannah Republican says: We
saw private letter yesterday, which states that
the planters of Florida contracting to deliver
corn, of the growing CROP the Florida Railroad,
at thirty-fve cents per bushel. The crop is
immense. and far enough advanced to be considered
safe. Our letters from all parts of Georgia and
Alabama, indeed from the entire Confederacy,
represent the crop in most fourshing condition,
with the promise of an immense yield.
VERY GooD.-A lady asked friend of ours
" Why is North Carolina in danger OF
being crushed p" And when it was given up she
answered, Because the Yankees lie upon her,
and the whole Confederacy relies upon her. -
