The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1866-06-20

u
The Sentinel makes lame attempt to ex-
cuse itself for its declaration that Gov. Worth
would regard the support Of the Standard as
dire calamity. We stated, in good faith,
that if Gov. Worth would do publicly what
he is constantly saying privately, that be is
an Union man, and would disconnect himself
from the pernicious influences by which he
was elected, and take ground squarely and
finally with the Union party of the State, We
would give him our humble support. What
more could we have offered? Coming from
as, this offer was certainly entitled TO some
consideration, but the Sentinel repealed it in
a rude and offensive manner. Welearn that
Gov. Worth, alarmed at this reply of the
Sentinel, gave brother Pell, so-called, q very
thorough lecture for his folly and hence the
lame apology offered by the Sentinel.
But tits too late. We have Inundated
ourself for the last time to traitors and their
tools. 1t is idle to vote even:for Gov. Worth,
much less to advocate his election. 1t is use
less for him to be candidate. Every vote
cast for him will be thrown away. The
Howard amendment, or something worse for
the South, viii certainly prevail and under
this amendment such public men as Jonathan
Worth cannot hold office unless relieved by
two-thirds vote of the Congress II requires
no prophet to foretell that Jonathan Worth
will not be relieved. He is not only in the
service of, and in sympathy with disloyal
persons, but he bitterly opposes the Howard
amendment. He would remain out of the
Union indefinitely before he would cheerfully
accept it These facts are well known here,
and they are known in Washington. Hewill
not, therefore, be relieved, and every vote
cast for him next October will be thrown
away. Instead of going round among the
members of the Convention on the holy Sab
hath day, making arrangements to distribute
his circulars, TO prove what is not true, to wit
that he is an Union man, he had better an
nounce that he is no longer a candidate, and
| then devote himself to the work ofprovidine
means to feed those of our poor unfortunate
people who are in starving condition
/ Let him do this, and thousands will 81 rise up
| and cali him blessed" and even We will dc
him more than justice both as a man and as
an officer
81 charge thee, Cromwell, fling away ambition
For by this sin the angels fell"
/ Brother Pell, so-called, says he recommend
B ed the writer of this for foreign mission, il
/ order to get him out of the country. Now
\ this is untrue, or our neighbor played the
1 hypocfite when he made the recommends
B ton. If the Recommendation was not made
/ in good faith our neighbor acted hypocriti
/ caily if made in good faith, our neighbor, il
/ saying new it was not so made, tells fib.-
\ He czn hang himself on either horn of th'
Z dilemma that suits him.
But We are not going away. We shall
[ stay here if our life be spared, 10 these man!
years, aad we shall continue, as heretofore
to apply the lash to "scribes, Pharisees, ant
hypocTitcs" We shall not cease this goot
work until tlse Union is restored, the disloya
expelled from office. and good and patriots
men put Ia ti,eir places.
