The tri-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1866-1868, 1867-04-06
THE RECORD.

its reasonable disposition, and its hatred =,
the colorsd people.
For the benefit of our Republican friend,
and especially for the edifcation of the coI
ored people, we reprint the FOLLOWING or
tracts from the Sentinel for 1866 and 1ec,
grossly rejecting upon the Congress the D.
publican party and the Union men of a.:
State without regard to race or color
In doing SO, we call upon every inteIb,ou.
gentleman to bear witness that the StanJ,-,
does not desire to stir up further Strife
revive anything said or written in tn. n.s.
calculated to increase political excitemer.;
the public mind at the present time Rut a.
Sentinel will not allow us to remain siI.n.
1t has voluntarily chosen these we,nons -,
offence and defence, and it is natural tbo,.
fore, that we should resort to the u.o oe +h.
And we further esteem it duty which vs
owe to God and our country, to expose fl.
reverend hypocrite, who is continually f.sd
ing the fires of disloyalty and tra.onn
through the columns of the Sentinel with ,
pertinacity worthy of the devil himself
What is he now engaged in doing Every
article IN his paper aimed against the Renuh.
llcan party of North arolina is a stsp to.
''ard' eonf'eetion! Who urges him ont
Gov. Worth and his friends Do secession.
ISIS, VINO are large land owners endorse his
course? Hitherto they have supported him
4
ami voted with him, against the Union, the
republican party and the colored people of
North-Carolina. With a few exceptions, we
state that this has been their position. Do
they not now perceive whittier he has led
them The Republican party Of the nation
hold them responsible for the past, and are
not in humor to suffer them, through the
Sentinel and other papers, to re-inhame the
popular mind against the government, with.
ont infiicting stern and summary punishment.
Let them come out squarely. If the &nti-
net will not listen to .heir remoRstrances. let
them crush it by withdrawing their support,
for zoe tell them today that euery line Of his
paper containing REASONABLE sentiments is equal
to an acre Of their land.
We present these extracts to our Republ-
can friends, with the following advice: pro-
claim them upon every stump in North Car
DINA, until the Union men of this State,
without regard to race or color, shall mark
the Sentinel down as his worst enemy. Read.
circulate and preserve. They are arguments
by any man Or before any au.
Hence.
The following is sample of its abuse Of
Radicals and universal suffrage, which it
tyled "degrading concession, insulting
md humiliating." The Sentinel of June
18th, 1866, said:
When the war terminated the South I'M
submitted to every demand
imposed upon her All the State Legisls-
ures unhesitatingly responded to every e1-
ction that had been made upon them. The
pirit of submission, and almost of servility,
which our people exhibited, instead of in
piring the Radicals with magnanimity,
made them more cruel and vindictive. Grant
he degrading concessions which the RadI-
als now demand, and they will soon invent
lew expedients for insult and humiliation"
The following is specimen of its language
owards the Standard, May 7th, 1866:
"The whole tone and temper of the last
ssue OF the Standard is So Enthusiastically" Rad
CAL 1t objects to the term " malignants,"
IS applied to the Congressional Jacobins it
virtually apologies for their course of OPP
preston and ruin, and declares that things
re getting worse and worse" in North
Carolina 1t publishes, without comment,
IN article from the Nashville Press iustifying
he disfrancisement of a large class of the
people of the State of Tennessee, which fact,
coupled with its quasi-endorsement of the
'eport of the star-chamber Committee, is
conclusive that it favors similar programme
IF prescription and oppression in North
Carolina.
If we could be astonished at anything in
;hese degenerate days, we should be surpris-
I'll at the faulty and blindness of the Stan
lard. In its persistent perversion of the
ceilings of our people, it undertakes task
more desperate than that of Sisyphus. His
stone rolled back whenever he had carried it
% the top of the hill The Standard. stone
will not only roll back, but crush it to the
earth. A newspaper which deliberately
the sentiments of the people
Of North Carolina, in spite of every declar-
alton and protestation they can make, must
be considered us signing the death-warrant
Of its own position and usefulness "
1.-THE STANDARD, of Saturday, not only pub
fishes, without comment, the article from the
Nashville Press, to which we have elsewhere
alluded. but also communication over the
signature of Yankee" which is an insult to
this community, and the source of which
would have been sufficiently manifest, with
put being disclosed by the signature. 1t is
an liz bird, truly, that befouls its own nest"
The following is aimed at Gov. Brownlow
and the Tennessee Republicans, April, Esd,
1866:
more than this: Gov. Holden has en-
dorsed Gov. Brownlow, of Tennessee, and
his policy, calling him that "glorious old
patriot" whom every true hearted American
must despise and denounce as the most I'M
mitigated tyrant in the Union; far worse
than Sumner or Stevens. Nay, in the last
Standard, it speaks of the late action of
Brownlow and his copartners in tyranny,
approvingly, except that some good Union
men have been treated ur Justly by the action.
Let the reader note it. The Brownlow Leg
islature of Tennessee has DISTINGUISHED every
Tennesseean who took up arms in the late
Confederate service, and has adopted the
most odious measures for the degradation
and ruin of three fourths of the people of the
