For the Standard.

Mr. HOLDEN TT is really gratifying to your numerous
friends in this section the bold aud determined
stand have taken in ourpresent troubles. 1O1T Views
upon the great and important question OF personal H0-
Injustice IN North Iroaa GHd honorable peace are en-
d0sed by at least twothrds OF the people OF ns county
The question of personal liberty which you nave so aoy
defended is question of great imphrtaece Martial law,
or suspension Of the hd6edS corpus, when Is tue same
thing utterly detested by all right thinking people
We hold that the Constitution besOws sufficient power
upon the government and that power is sufficient in war;
as well a in peace The Constitution was not designed
fer peace alone claim, for adopted almost
amid the of artillery and camor OF arms and there
FORE II was to be regarded in times OF war as well as IN
times of peace There some that cry out, away win
the Constitution until our Independence Is aeneVeo
say away with such If we to live under deSpot
matters but little with us whether 1t is under Davis or
Lincoln.
In regard to the injustice done North all
have right to complain. From the very comm encement
of this good old State has been rdiculed abused
suited Our people have been aside for of other
States Our soldiers have cried in vain to be placed
der officers rUm their State These Mr. Editor and
many other wrongs have people had to suffer- no
have fought the battles of this WARP Who have put the
enemy to flight 10 nearly every engagement! In every
battle from the battle Of Bethel To Gettysburg Of
Charleston the bones North CsrOnians have beaced
the ground and their blood have enriched the soil Not
whsaudng all this certain shade Brigadier in Rich
mQnd that North Carolina nothing but nest OF
id IRIitOrs. Notwithstanding all this, the Richmond
Enquirer invites US to leave the COnfederacy WIN all OF
this abuse staring in the face We have breasted the
stOrm-have patiently submitted TO the rdicuie
quietly permitted FIRE sides be called nest of traitors
Is it Just? Verify the last feather breaks the Camels
back day Of reckoning must and will comet is fast
approaching, and the voice oil resentment though now
FAINT will be heard the mighty whirwnd from the
mountain He that hath ears to hear let him hear -
We claim that soldiers should be commanded by North
Caronians and that justice should be done us IN every
other respect We will be satisfied with that and nothing
less Those authority might profit by reading the story OF
Samson. He strong and slew his thousands but
be trusted his the hands of another and she be-
rayed him and be became child HIS enemies insult
ed abused and sueeTed at him. He submitted to all Of
these wrongs till finally his strength returned and his
emies were made to trembe and suffer. NorthCarOna
delegated her strength US 1t were to the C"nfedeacy
Like Samsons enemies, the authorities O the COnederacy
have insued abused and sneered at since. But
her strength will and then those that trying to
Cypress her will be made to feel her power North Caro-
lima entered this in good faith and has furnished
men while other States have furnished officers On every
battlefield have suffered severely, while others have
Claimed the credit We have been IN front OF the battles
but in the of justice People of rECarolina, will
you stand this injustice? You have submitted long
enough-pattnce has ceased to be virtue Then, North
Caronans rise in your might and tell your Sanderers at
Richmond that they are your servants Tell them what
they shall do and what they shall not do. You have the
right.you have the power-m9!ntain your honor.
A few words to you Mr. Editor, and We will close
Peacs-when shall have peace? 1t does seem 10 us
that enough blood has been spttha enough lives have
been enough widows aud orphans have been made
Is there remedy Is time that the good North
and South casting about to they could fall upon
plan to arrest tins awful war; We are tr peace
honorable peace-a lasting peace Negotiations will
certainly have 10 be resOrted TO at some tlme-ths
can't last awSys-then why not nov No. now cries
the original SeceSSOnlSt mas some
him out of the The last man, the last dOf must go
before negotiations be made These men cry for
blood but they careful not put themselves In the
way OF Yankee bullets The lost dom Ii
means that poor farmer who has wife aud little children
who relying upon him for u support 1t that
mechanic who trying to honest living for
his wife aud little ones, by the If his bnR. 1t
such cattle, to their language, Holden
and Pennington, who trying bring ab hOnOra
