He said he was kicked out Of the Union,
after the cats and dogs LETT The only way
to get him back IS to kick him in again.
SO far'as we are concerned, all that he
says OF us makes no difference, because he
has said his worst, and that has been but
little. But'he has walked up the wrong pas
senger, and we shall make 1T even with him,
and that, too, without calumny or SANDER
orlying.
He is mean man. He sneaks around
the grog holes OF Raleigh for items from
grog sellers, and publishes journal which
would be an honor to any bankrupt drunk
ard amid the slums OF New York.
We congratulate him on his gradual
change of tone, up to last SATURDAYS issue,
since some few weeks past. But murderer
at heart, coward in action, poltroon in
spirit and a calumniator and slanderer in
tongue, cannot conceal his true character
tpn the public gaze 1t comes out invol-
unfairly, and the semblance of the virtues
displayed for time seem only to breed
vices like heat breeds lice.
We have looked him in his eye and it qui-
vered. We have seen him on the streets and
he was nervous. Heknows that he is guilty
of suggesting more crimes than any horse
thief in North Carolina, and that his hold
on public respect is the same hold that any
other matchmaking scoundrel has upon his
victim. People are afraid of the rascal. His

Gov. Holden-fbe rutherford star.

We copy the following from the kuther-
ford Star of the 22d instant: II.
THE 11rH MAY CoNvENTIoN.-We no.
| tice from the Standard that Convention
Of the Republicans of Wake county, held
on the 18th inst, in Raleigh, there were one
hundred and .tortyJSoe delegates appointed
to the 18th May Convention from that
| county.
We also notice that His Excellency w.
W. Holden, Governor of North CAROLINA,
was in sold meeting, and took an active part
in the debates and proceedings.
We think comment is unnecessary, as the
| facts are explanatory of themselves.
Our opposition to the 18th May Conyen-
ton is already we'll known we have warn
ed all honest Republicans to have no afilia-
ton with it, and we deem it unnecessary to
say more at present If the Convention
should be conducted by the right kind OF
men, and in The right spirit, good might re-
suit from it, but if it is to be ruled by such
men as Gov. Holden, Bloodhound Bill
Smith, and Windy Billy Henderson, it will
result in the signal defeat of the Republican
party next August, and will be the political
death of every man connected with it. ia,
The Rutherford Star is edited by j. B.
Carpenter and R. W. Logan. 1t is the or
gan Of Judge Logan and Others whom we
forbear to mention at present.
The truth is, Gov. Holden took no part
whatever in the proceedings of the Wake
County meeting. The Star, therefore. mis-
states the truth and facts of the case, when
it says Gov, Holden twas in said meeting,
and took an active part in the debates and
proceedings ~ u s.+
AS to the ep;thets bestowed on Messrs.
Smith and Henderson, it does appear to us
further that the Star is making use Of ma
Iterial furnished it in the numerous ISLANDERS
by the Democratic press of this State circu-
Hated against these gentlemen, and that no
other Republican paper in North Carolina
would indulge in such remarks. Abuse is
not argument, while bad temper is "a dis
grace to any man. The Star is convert
to jOturmerism. sdt ''a' l' ?
q, The 18th Of May Convention was unani-
mo,tszy called by the Republican State Com
mittee The Star is.opposed to this Con-
vention, and warns Republicans not to at
tend it. This places the Star and those for
whom it speaks, outside the Republican
party. The Republicans of Rutherford can
now see the coven foot unmistakably,if they
will only open their eyes and look.
