den, of thes Standard and Pennington, his Jacka!,
were press4t and Gov. Vance, too, as we learn.-:
How was toast receivedl Or is it true it was
given in presence Of Gov. Vance -,
We have reason to believe that this "feast' did
come ef and that the Stars and Stripes we're toasted
for we have been informed BY person just frpn
Raleigh, that it xas currently raportsd there that
such toast had besn,given aud such toast drunk,
and that tbs Of the giyer Of the feast and his
guests were openly spoken Of upoa the streets aud
at their corners. = Pstsrs5vrg Register.
There sno truth in the above. At the supper
1t which Mr. Pennington and Mr.: Holden were
present. nosnch toast was drank nor thought Of;
nor do We jiSeve that such toastaTas given at
any suppe .Raisish, or on any other occasion
Gov. Vance was not present at the supper re-.
ferred to.
Nothing is too sacred for the polluted pen of the
depraved creature who nominally edits the State
Journal He obtrudes his brazen face inte private
parties, and would even descend into the grave to
crafty his filthy appetite for SANDER. We ara not
surprised at any thing he does, but We do confess
to little surprise that the Editor of the Register,
who has been accustomed to move among gentle
men, should give currency to such charge The
gver of the feast" referred to is one Of our best
citizens-an amiable, generous-hesrted gentleman,
who has done nothing to justify such an obtru.ion
into his private house: 1t would have looked much
better IN the Editor of the Rugister if he had paid
note which the gentleman retired to holds against
him before he repeated this sander from the State
Journal But such conduct is in keeping With the
character of the Editor Of the Regster. who hates
individuals just in proportion to the favors they
have conferred upon him.
It is currently reported in Raleigh, and believed
to be true. that on the very night mentioned the
nominal Editor Of the Journal was guest 1t sup
per given BY some negroes in gentlemans kitchen
in this City, and that he had the presumption to eat
At the first tabIe. Il is presumed be was invited,
as no gentleman would attend on such IN occasion
without an invitation.

Butler thinks there is but one way to meet the
new state Of things and that iby the sternest retail
