Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1865-02-10

We are surprised as we have no doubt Mr.. Amis
will be, to observe that the Confederate is disposed
to censure him for not having stood with sufficient
irmness by Gov. Vance during the late session of
the Legislature. After the determined and consist
ent manner in which Mr.. Amis has sustained Gov.
Vance, and identified himself with his political for
tunes, we cannot but exclaim, in reference to this
allusion by one of the organs of the Governor
THAT was the most unkndest cut of all"
Political error is, of itself, unfortunate, but to
err and not be appreciated in SO doing; is particu-
larly unfortunate This demonstrates that there
is no safety but in rigid adherence. under all cir
cumstancss, to Conservative principles.
