For the Standard


MEssRs EDITORS Some nondescript hailing
from. Ugh Point, announces through the Raleigh
Sc 'tineI in an advertising manner, that the radi-
calls of that locality have organized into society.
and ensures the public that they are the pref
tiest set of radicals SEEM and that there can
not be better set found in the Unon.''
This is highly complimentary to Union men in
that portion of North Carolina, and deserves to
be noticed by the loyal millions of the North and
Northwest But apart from this, the smell of the
quacking, indicates but too plainly that he be-
longs to the solan tribes Yet he affects to con-
ceai his real plumage by the initials of J.. l..
which designates an organization well known in
the loyal States.
Let me say to him and his feeble followers that
the spies have failed to make any discovery or
new development, or to disperse the nebulating
vapor which hangs between them and those Of
whom this fourth rate leader OF the flock speaks
Not in contradistinction to the name radical,
WILL however, tell this feeble parasite of rebel
leaders that Union men are numerous in and
about High Point, and that they have no conceal
ments to make from those that hate them and the
government. They remember the time when
this right was denied them because of Coincide
rate detectives. From such condition they have
been relieved. They can tell their oppressors
then, that their day of degradation, darkness and
gloom is close upon them-that retributive JUS
tice must and will overtake them for their dark
and damning deeds committed upon Union men.
The loyal people of this great nation arc calling
for justice to be meted out to them, and Congress

Tolerate of June goth, 1854, said of Andrew
johnson, OF Tennessee, ,ohen 1t was free to sag
0hat it pleased -
COME FROM BAD, STOCK" ,,.s-,~
Many persons believe there is as much in
the blood of men as there is in the blood
of horses, or in other noble stock-that you
cannot make great and good man OF one,
who has sprung from low and depraved pa
rents, any more than high-mettled charger
can be produced out of a mongrel conestoga.
We have often thought of this sentiment in
connection with Andrew Johnson-the no.
torious renegade now placid on the ticket
with Abe Lincoln, as candidate for Vice
President of the once United States.
ANDREW johnson was born and reared in
this City-or rather its obscure suburbs
and some of our inhabitants remember him
as low-down blackguard, without charac-
ter save for viciousness and depravity. His
antecedents were also of the vilest and most
degrading caste. So much by way of illus
trating our point
"While we recognise to the fullest extent
the true Republican doctrine which places
each and every man on his own merits, we
cannot and should not overlook the funda-
mental laws of humanity imposed by the
Creator, under which men resemble their an
cestry more or less closely and in examin
ing the claims of any man to confidence and
station, we cannot safely overlook pedigree
unless where performance has been so varied
and decided and characteristic, as to leave
no room for inquiry. We have seen many
instances of men rising by their own talents,
or virtues or merits, to places supposed to be
far above their plan of birth, but it will
generally be found in these cases that the
men had really the benefits of pedigree, al
though obscured and dimmed; and they
certainly had good mothers and otherwise
inherited good blood.
For a mechanic of any kind to attain fair
ly and honorably to position ordinarily as
signed to professionally trained aspirants, is
proof enough of his merits and of the sound
policy of system which looks to merits;
but we have been often deceived or beguiled
by plausible appeals, and by false suppose
tions, that it was something more ennobling
to place man apparently G6O0e a mechani-
Cal position. 1t has been boosted, for in
stance, in behalf Of this renegade and politi
cal vagabond, Andrew Johnson. that he was
tailor. He never was reputable or trust
worthy as tailor or in any other craft-he
always disgraced the trade. He was vaga-
bond and thief when boy-and in man.
hood, he has been a staggering and profane
swearer, and publicly and privately lying
adventurer, mighty in promises which he
never performed. Truly in his case it may
be said, "WorM makes the NAN Want Of it
the fellow"

A STRAIGHT JACKET NEcEssARY.-The
following is an extract from late number
OF that venerable, antediluvian fossil, the
National lnteUigencer. This old fossil ought
to be put forthwith in straight jacket -
1.-THE course of the majority in Congress,
In endeavoring to discover the Union, for
whose preservation millions of treasure and
hundreds of thousands of lives were freely
given; in seeking to destroy and uproot the
executive and judicial branches of the Gov
eminent, and to make the Constitution itself
the mere plaything of political faction, is
rapidly tending to the destruction, not only
OF the Government but of the whole people.
1t Is madly creating a financial crisis, which
Will involve the rich and the poor alike in
one common catastrophe. 1t will not only
destroy the public credit, break the bank
and the treasury, stop the mills, silence the
forges, suspend all commerce, and paralyze
the hands of industry, but it will bring
gaunt, stark, relentless want to the doors of
all the highest and lowest in the land.
Ihls is the picture that the unerring fnp
ELS OF late are painting IN effaceable colors
upon our whole horizon. 1t cannot much
longer be shut out from the unwilling vision
OF tne destructives in Congress. 1t is the
nameiess terror they are themselves reckless
~ invoking. Let them pause in their career
ana contemplate its awful revelations"

RALEIGH. N. G.
SATURDAY, JANUARY rs, 1867.
The Legislature.


Nothing of public interest has thus far
been accomplished by this body. While we
do not cucumber our columns with the pro-
ceedings, we shall nevertheless keep our read
ers posted as to what may be done and we
will cheerfully publish any speeches or votes,
or any other proceedings which our friends
may wish to have appear in the Standard.
1t seems to usit would be eminently prop
err, as it would certainly he in order, for some
member to move every day that this body
adjourn. The best, if not the only relief this
Legislature could administer to the people
would be to adjourn, and thus save the
twelve hundred dollars per day which this
body is taking from the Treasury. We can
expect this Legislature to do nothing of
loyal, national character, while action in an
opposite direction, as at the last session, will
still further obstruct the return of the State
to the Union.

The Record.
extremity.

We continue the Record of the Instigators
and Leaders of the Rebellion. We have
many more interesting extracts to lay before
our readers. Read and circulate, SO that the
people may be reminded of the manner of
men who ruined them, and who still insist
on ruling this ruin.
The extracts we expect to make from the
Army Meetings" and the Peace Meetings"
held in 1868, will exhibit in the clearest
light the sound Union feeling of a majority
of our people at that time, and the manner
in which that feeling was trampled and
smothered by the leaders of the rebellion.

A New Orleans correspondent of the Ney

A New Orleans correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:
lowing to the failure of the cotton crop
planters are willing to sell portion of their
large tracts to Yankees and to negroes. In
many cases, farms and parts of farms have
been sold to the slaves that formerly worked
on them, little cash being paid down, the
balance in cotton to be grown in future years :;
but in many parts of the State lite, and es-
pecially black life, is terribly insecure. Muir
derers of the poor blacks are so common that
they are scarcely noticed. Civilian there is,
but no justice. In Mississippi, parts of Ten
nessee, and Arkansas, Union men find no
better chance of justice than the negro
Louisiana stands rather better, but through
all the South the difficulty is that there is
not sufficient power in the Freedmen's Blu
reau. There are but few of the counties that
have an agent, and without the aid of the
military they can do but little in any coun-
ty.. In some counties an agent would not be
safe himself"

JoLLIFIcATIoN.-The anti-warr par
ty not having burned much powder
since "dying in their own door
,yafls" and such other little freaks
for the assistance of the rebellion as
might occur to them. concluded to
elorify over the result of the elec-
ton, which they did few nights
since with great success, burning
their fingers, spotting their faces,
and suffering greatly from wear and
tear of leather and clothing, all of
which was enjoyed as it was in CON-
memOration of triumph over the
''nigger. Poor fellows, they should
receive pension for their meritori-
Gus conduct. But why should they
not rejoice over the defeat of the
Amendment, as it the only occasion
for rejoicing over these people since
the defeat of Burnside at Freder-
icksburg. lam still further strength
ened in my belief that Treason,
Whiskey. and Modern Democracy are
one and inseparable.
TEMPERANCE LEcTURE.-The same
evening of the bombardment" as
we call the jollification, Rev. S. d.
Shaffer delivered a temperance lee
ture in the New Salem church. 1t
was an interesting and telling effort,
but those who most needed to hear
him were not present, being other
wise engaged. We are promised an
other lecture at some future time,
when we hope to see the imbibers of
the spirit Of Old Bourbon" present.
BUSINESS CHANGEs.-Ballard & Co.
disposed of their grocery store to
Bishop McClish who, we understand,
intends conducting the business on
a temperance basis :
Mr.. Hugh Tomlinson has sold his
steam saw mill to VIM. Miller. May
he have the same generous support
as his predecessor.

John A. Andrew.

John A. Andrew, one of the fore.
most men of one Of the foremos!
States OF the Union, died Wednesday
October 80, at six o'clock. In him
the nalion has lost devoted philan-
thropist, an eloquent orator, large
minded statesman and Q warm and
bipartisan patriot. The whole coun-
| try should mourn him, for though he
had never filled any national station,
ne possessed the ability to adorn and
the integrity of purpose to be useful
in the highest position in the gift oi
the American people. Ex-Governor
Andrew was about fifty-five years oi
If age at the time of his death. He
irst entered prominent public life in
1860, when he was elected Governor
of Massachusetts by the Republican
party. He was re- elected in 1861,
1862, 1863 and 1864, holding office
for five years, during the entire time
of the war. In his Office Of Cover
nor, he had the immediate direction
OF the work of raising volunteers, and
it was in a great measure due to his
incessant and patriotic labors that the
full quota of Massachusetts was so
promptly furnished. He was among
the first to urge the enlistment OF
black soldiers. and it was at his per-
sonal proposal, and under his imme
diate supervision that the 55th Mas
sachusetts, the first colored regiment
ever put in service, was raised. Since
the close of the war he has retired to
private life, but his name has been
frequently mentioned in connection
with Senatorial, Cabinet and diplo-
matte positions.

RUNAwAYs-AP PAINFUL ACCIDENT
Last Tuesday, young man EN-
lployed at Massinger's Livery stable
attempted to drive a spirited team
when they broke into run, but were
stopped without doing material dam
age. Subsequently, Mr.. WIN. Vance
took them in hand, when they agair
broke and ran with all speed, turn
ing the corner of Crawford and Mair
streets SO suddenly as to overturr
the buggy throwing Mr.. Vance to the
ground with such force as to breal
one of his ribs.
Later in the day, team driven by
a boy, ran away, on Hardin street
tearing up sidewalks, breaking fen
ces, and playing smash" generally,
until coming to Main street they
made a sudden turn, throwing the
contents of the wagon, consisting OF
furniture and household goods, in a
manner anything but pleasing to the
owner.

STREET ErIQUErTE.-The follow
ing hints on street etiquette should
be carefully read by all: While on
the street never underrate your own
self-importance, but always feel as
sured that you are entitled to the
room required in walking. If others
are subjected to Inconvenience by
your running against them. it is their
own fault, as they should be more
careful and keep out Of the way. If
you stop to speak with friend, do
not "step aside" so as to be ont of
the way, but keep your position in the
middle of the walk, where you will
be especially noticed by those who
have to 60 around you in passing
When convenient, stop on the corners
of the streets, as you can thus block
up the walk and be in the way of
those who are passing on two streets.
While thus standing, you can stare
at the ladies as they walk around you.
1t is annoying to them, it is true, but
then you are there for your pleasure,
and not theirs. By stepping on q
Ilady's dress occasionally. while walk
ing, you can sometimes amuse your
self, and at the same time relieve her
from the monotony of her pleasure.
Do not be too particular in keeping
to the right, but go from one side Of
the walk to the other, and run against
as many as possible, as it will make
them keep their eyes open to Other
objects of special interest. Another
very fashionable custom, for both
ladies and gentlemen, is for several
to walk beside each other, taking up
nearly all the walk, SO that no one
can meet or pass them without get,
ting on the curbstone orin the street.
There are many other items of inter-
est that might be noted, but the
above are sufficient for all to "see the
point" -

To Our Subscribers.

We are In need of money-in fac
must have 1t. Upon our subscrip
ton books are the names of good
substantial men, who owe us for the
paper from one to four years, and
from such we expect the green backs
needed. Our subscribers must pay
up-hereafter we trust no man for
the paper longer than one year. II
is fine thing to have the largest cir.
culation of any country newspaper
in Northwestern o hio, but if to do
this we have to buy paper and ink
and furnish it to careless subscribers
for trust, the thing assumes an en-.
tirely different aspect. We know
that our paper is worth what we ask
for it, cash down, without giving Ger.
tain persons the use of the money,
justly our due, for two, three or four
years. Therefore in the future we
shall not do it. We intend to collect
what is due us on subscription, and
then allow no one to get more than
one year in arrears.
The above is raid in all earnest
ness. Those WI D do not take warn
ing, therefore and settle before the
22d inst, must expect to receive bills
for all due us, upon which we shall
require payment. Wheat is worth a
certain amount CASH DOWN; why
should not a newspaper be in the
same category?
