The Fayetteville O6serUer refnst,s to correct its
nisEtatemsnt that the resolutions n'cently adopt
ed by the people Of Johnston County wee prepared
in Raleigh. It declines to discuss our "k.1owledge
on the subject" and says "the information upon
which the statement was made in the O6serusr was
and is regarded by US as unquestionable." The.
O0SerVer speaks as it is prompted 1t sought 70
prejudice the action Of the people Of Johnston by
the false charge that their resolutions prepared
an Raleigh, and By inference in the Standard Office;
but We tell that paper that the Standard belongs
to no Raleigh clique, as it would have its readers
believe, but is an Independent Conservative journal
both in tone and conduct If there are cli4ues in
Raleigh endeavoring to manufacture and shape pub
lie opinion the Standard does not belong to them.

Heretofore the people Of this community have
pstronized the Fayetteville Observer but owing 70
bis blind zeal in uphOlding the rash measures OF
JEFF Davis and his proselytes at Richnond 70 tne
utter neglect of che rights of our good and q 1rous

the Standard as being the great exponent OF the
rights of the people, We bid you go on-t6e peo'
pie will sustain YOU"
We, are constantly cheered by letters like the
above from all parts of the State. The people are
with US in this crisis, and against the Obseroer.-
The special ple,dipg and Misrepresentation to
which that paper is resorting in its extremity, will
not extricate it from the difficulties which beset it.
I,s orlv hope Ofretauing its influence or rather Of
regaining it, is in prompt return to Conservative
