Impeachment.

One of the Washington correspondents OF
the Baltimore Sun says, impeachment is still
the subject of speculation and absorbing in
terest. The impeachers assert, positively,
that they will succeed in the adoption of ar
ticles, whilst their opponents are equally
confident that the measure will be defeated
by decided majority. The opponents rely
much upon the fact that most of the leading
Republican Journals deprecate any further
prosecution of the wild project. log

The Standard.

~ We are under obligations to our friends in
various parts Of the State, for the support
they are extending to the Standard. 1t is of
the first importance that the Republican pa
pers of the State should be well sustained.
The people must have information in order
to vote understandingly. The influence of
newspaper, though silently exerted, is con-
slant, and can effect more for sound princi-
Piles than lectures or speeches. laa40 III
1t is especially important that the colored
people, who constitute large proportion of
the Republican voters of the State, should
read the papers, and if they can not read,
that they be read to them and explained
Every Council of the U. l.. A. in the State
should subscribe for one or more sound Re
publican newspapers, and have their con
tents read to the members at the meetings.
An hour or so of an evening could not be
better employed than in this way. Those
who may hear, but are not able to read for
themselves, have good memories, and they
will treasure up and act upon the truths
thus read to them. We should bear in mind
as members of the League, that it is our par
; ticular business to "protect and strengthen
all in their rights of property and person
to demand and sustain the education and
elevation OF the laborer, and to make our
organization the school for the prompt and
efficient instruction of all men in the duties
of American citizenship" Books newspa-,
pers, and documents of various kinds, incul-
eating love for the Union, the nobility of
labor, and the promised rewards of indus
try and upright living, should be obtained
by the Councils to the extent of their means
and constantly and freely read among and
to the members. The people must be in
structed in the duties of American citizen,
ship, and the mode suggested is one of the
best we can think of. +. II '...,s.,,,.t.

G RALEIGH, n. G., WEDNESDAY,,


The Greensboro Patriot is informed that
under law of Congress, not only the laws
OF the United States, but all judicial and
other notices of a national character mustsbe
published in the North Carolina Standard or
Asheville Pioneer This is the law. The
charges ale also fixed by law, and the Stan.
dard establishment in making Its charges is
governed strictly by the law. Weexpect no
favors at the hands of rebels or of the rebel
press, and we shall grant them none. Indeed,
if we were disposed to eoncede any thing on
this score to that viciously crazy sheet, the
Greensboro Patoiot, we could not do SO, for
the notices to be lsg,A, and to pass the test
of the Court, must appear as stated either in
the Standard or Pioneer ~
The illnatured remarks Of the Pdtriot in
relation to the Standard in connection with
this matter, are unworthy of notice. How
ever it may be under State rebel rule, the
Congress of the nation does not intend that
rebel newspapers shall enjoy any govern
ment patronage. a,a aai

TUT .
THE RESULT.

.
North Carolina has spoken in accordance
with the laws of Congress, and the result is
most auspicious. HencefOrth she is devoted
to freedom and equal rights. The manhood
of all her citizens will be hereafter acknowl-
edged We are to have no more slavery.
no more war and bloodshed on account OF
slavery. We are to be peaceful and united
people We shall improve and prosper in
all which tends to make people Wise and
good and great Manufactures will spring
up, railroads will be built, schools will be
opened, mines will be developed, In short,
we shall ere long have, as it were, new life.
new energy will show itself every where
But in order that these things soon appear,
it is necessary that our coming Convention
shall act wisely. Those who compose it
must be "wlse as serpents." They are be-
: ing watched by stealthy and willy foe. If
it is at all possible the work will be thwart-
ed by some of the most prominent men in
the State. They are already mastering their
forces. Caucuses are being held, and plans
are being devised to retain, if they possibly
can, the power in the State. They must be
kept out of office till the State is fully re-
stored, and quiet reigns throughout the land.
The past has shown, most bitterly shown,
that they cannot l,c trusted. It will be worse
than madness for the Union men OF the
State to allow the late rebels who are still
defiant and unrepentant, to rule them. Our
people have SO long suffered themselves to
be led by the few, that it requires earnest
and long continued efforts to break up these
Z old customs. a But by proper understand
ing and united action between the Unionists
of the State, both white and colored, the
victory may be secured and maintained
We must remember that eternal vigilance
/, lis the price of liberty" The freedom OF the
/, Press and of speech, those precious boons
we now have--let US ever hold to them and
all will be well. .,s3st /. BETA

The National Banks in Congress.


The Washington Erpress says, the debate
in the House upon the national bank sys-
tenn has excited considerableinterest regard
ing the views of the committee on banking
and currency. As yet no formal meeting
has taken place, but consultation has been
had by majority of its members. 1t may
be safely said that the feeling of the Com
mittee is strongly against any interference
with the banks, notwithstanding the spirit
of opposition which seems to be rapidly
gathering strength in the House. The only
step the committee, with its present views,
may be induced to take will be to agree to
tax the banks. The proposition to with
draw their currency and substitute green
backs therefor will be vigorously opposed by
the committee. In short, if this committee
can prevent it, there will be no legislation
against the banks consummated at the WIN
ter session.

+ A rebel Southern journal notices the fact
that President johnson speaks in his mes
sageof " rebels,r and argues thercfrom that
he is not in sympathy with the secessionists.
The Southern leadersand their followers do
not, care what Mr.. johnson calls them so
long al he acts with them. Gov. Vance
abused the Democrats roundly in his speech
es in 1854, and held them responsible for the
war, but they voted for him nevertheless,
because they knew he was with them in his
official acts. &
The message of Mr. johnson, We may fair
~ assume, would not have been materially
different from what it is if Jefferson Davis
himself had inspired his mind and guided
his pen when he wrote it,
