Ma- IbbPboposbd HABTroBB CoavaHTioa—The Balrigh Standard of Tue«day says:— ‘■It is not true, as eharged by tke Observer and oth ers, that the object of the Gonventioii is to secede from tke Ceafederaoy, or reoonstruot the old government, or ktfable tke State at the feet of Mr. Linooln ” The Standard goee on to say, at eonsiderable lengtk, wkM a Goaveatloa might de aad say. And it is re- ■arkable that its eoluma and a half on the subject akoands with evidences of afitrc* tear upon lh» Cott/td4' ratt but n«t one word about proi*euting th* war upon iht Lincote ^o«M^m«n;-;-ma9y objections to aa imaginary despotism that \s to be at Riehmond, but Bat a word against the real aad nnqaestioned despotism exiaiiag at Washington. There oould be ne clearer evi- daaoe tkat we kave not miseonstroed the objects of the prepoeed Cenw»tion. Indeed, how ceuid we do so, after ika plain deeiarations by the Standsad on t^e 1st inst., tkat, ina oertain eontiofeney wkieh tke Staadard treats as sure (o happen— “ Tk« poopl* of North Carolina will takt lht*r own afairi mto thnr own htuiJtt and will procetd, tn Convtntion om- i^nbUd, to tindkut4 thttr Uborhu and prtoiltg** " And agaia ia the same artieU:— “The people of North Carolina will rise ia tkeir ma jesty aaa aeaert their aoTereignty There is no power to prevent them from doing this,*aBd woe to the official okaraeter who ekall attcmDi lo turn ^e arms of C«n federate soldiers against the people of tkis Sut«! North Carolina will not be tne slave of either the Congrese at Riohmoatk or Washington. Ska is tkis day, aa she has beea from the first, the key-stone of the Confederate areh. If that stone sheald fall the arch will tumble. Lai Coai^sa be warned 4n time ” Tkis is the language ef the Standard itself, and we 4afjr tke iagenuity of man to make anything else out of it tkan a threat to take North Careliaa out of the Gon- federaoy, by meaBs ef this proposed Convention—a Con- veation not oalled for.by the people, as tke Standard preeeads, but ky the Standard and a few disooateated pwsoae 00 operating witk it, Some of whem have plainly avowed tMir deeire for a re union with -our malignant CBMBiee, tke yaakeee. iadeed we kave positive infor mation tkat one of these pereess has recently declared tae okjeota of this Convention thue proposed by the Standard are, to remonstrate with the Confederate gbv- emmea^, to propoee terms ef peace for the coscurrenoe ef the other Coafederate diates, and if these should not. eue«eed, thea to take North Carolina out of tht Conftdc' raty aind make the bett termt the could vilh the Lincoln gooemment These are the oliOeota ot the getters up ef this Saheme. We do not heeitate to pronounce them ti-eaajnable, and ia the last degree dishonorable. We warn the paople of North Carolina agaiuat them. North Careliaa is bound by every tie of intereet, and by every obligation of hoaor, to her eistrr 8utes of the Confeds- raey. She is not leee bound to spurn the yankee gov- erament, and to hold herself forever aloof from it. The tkooaande of ker sons who have been elain in battle or kave periahtd from exposure in resisting the rathlees ia«ader, ery out from their graves against se monstrous an idea as any further union with their murderers. The seldiers still ia the field ery eut against it. The women aad ehildren, wko kave been outraged and stripped of tkeir all, and driven from their homes, ory out against it The Standard resorte to its aooustomed triok of pre- icffding that it is “the people of North Carolina” who propoee to meet in Convention, and that it is “an insult to the peoplo of North Caroliaa” to compare it to the Hartford Convention. It is just so far, aud no {arther, an insult t-j the people of North Carolina as it is an in tnlt to th«/ev designing demat^o^ues or worse who se«k to lead “tiie people of North Carolina” by th»- nose, and pklBge the State into a oondiiion of treaeOn and infamy We repeat that it ie not tke people, uuleas the Raleigh Standard and a few wire-puU*-ra constitute the people, BS they appear to think. Tiie pretence that the Staa- dard “knows” that “an immense majority” will suetain its views next August is part of the trickery by which it attempts to humbug the people. It has likewise pre tended all along that the laet election showed a majori ty in te favor. We have been waiting for the official returns rom the two meuatain dietrioie to sbow that this is untrue. We presume those returns are in some one of the Departmente at Rtieigk aad that the Stafi ■ dard uoutd have access to them if it would. We will wait no longer fur them but show' from suck materials aa have oeen put>liehed that the Standard’s claim ef a majority is unfounded. iu mailing up tke following statement we class (very upjastly te some of them, we are sure,) as Standard eandidates all whose elections were advoeaud by tke Staadard befor$ tke eleotion. We de so, eimply because tke Standard named them before the eleetion aa thoee for whom ita friends should vote: 1b the 1st Uistrict, Messrs. Smith and Starke re- eeiwed 1440 votee to «20 for Mesere.

Tkis au^ority would be large ly increased if we kad tke returns from the 9th aBd 10th Diatricte-^Mr. Qaither having beaten the Standard’e c«>adldate by a kaadseme minority, and 6en. Logan hav ing been outnumbered by tk*aggragaU vetee for Messrs Hy man aad Erwin. Such is tke result of tke CoBgfessional eleotiou la November laet, wkiok tke Standard boa always claimed as endorsing it* oour**, but witkout ever permitting Us reudors to see tke hole. It ekows that instead of the majority ef 14,000, with which that paper acted in Au gust 1862. the Siaadard’e treoeonable course hao run down iti party to a minority. And this too in spite of its cocstant boasts that it eelleete and knows'aud fol lows publio opinion. Follows public opinion indeed! Did ever anybody, in any part of the State, kear the people express a desire for a State Convention till thi- f^tandard started the project? No. It went te the people from Raleifh, where it had be?n threatened moziths ago by the Standard, and where it wu oonooot- ed after Qov. Qraham had killed off the s{i-c&lled peaoc raovcment in the LegiilAtnre. The Standard charges that the Observer end ether ;apers seeA to have as an object “to draw Confederate troops to this State for the purpose ef overawing our people* I! Thie is aa ridiculoue'as it is false. The Ob- servsr niiver troubled iteelf about either the ooming or. going of (rocps to or from this State, either for the pretended purpose or any other When they came here, arr»*sf .!e^nr»ws, however, moet uuexpectedly to ub, W-?

'Was evtr a more mslignawt pieee of deeeption attempted? Wbe ever dreamed of suoh a tkiag? Nobody. It is a pwrc invention, a false pretenoe of the Standard, to excite its readers against the Confederate government It is in keeping, too, with the course of the Standard :\>r some time past .\s evidence of this, we ask its readers to look at the numbers of that paper lUQce th^ 1st inst and SA« bow many oolumns it has devoted to tha pur pose of arraying the people of North Carolina against the Couftderate Qovernmect, and how little space it hae given to complaints of any sort against our yaskee enemlee Tke only allusion, for instance, that the Standard has made te the conduct of the infamous Oen Wild and his black and wkite troops in North Carolina, is oenfiaed to'sixteen linee of that paper! One of our soldiers oaptared by the yankees, is hanged in cold blood, t&e houses of North Carolina oiiizens are plus dered and burnt, the negroee carried cff, their provis ions, even to the last pound of meat and the last peck of meal, stolen, their houses burned, their women and childrsn left to starve or freexe, and ladies Ued with ropes by negroee and carried off to Ncrfolk. These outrages are- so monstrous that detailed accounts of them are published in North Carolina papere, in Vir ginia papers, and even in a New York paper. But the Standard, published at tke seat of government of the State in which they occurred, and prefessing to be the peculiar friend of “the people” of the State, dispatches them in sixteen linet.’ of its issue of the 1st., since which net the most remote allusion has b«>en nade to them in that paper Its space is devoted, instead, to a war upon the Confederate govemmeat, not fjr any actual wrong done, like that of tke yankeee, but for what the Stand ard imagine* tke gevernmeat means to do! Under such oircumstaneee, what ean we infer, but that the Stand ard desires to screen the yaakee govermcent, an^ to turn the hoAtilUy of its readers against the Confederate government? That it is false to ita vqi* on the 20th of May lb61, false to its pledge of “the last dollar and the laet man” to maintain that vot«, and false to its coua try? Such i* tke conelaaien to which the Standard U self has forced ue, most reluctantly, for we wotdd have all men in the Confederacy united to reeist the yankees, and thea there would be no pretenoo of need to make war upon onr own governmbnt Wbat SuBJUQATioa Mmams.—Few articles of the Bame length have been so much admired and copied as thoee of the Richmond Examiner on the above sub ject, detailing frem Hietdry the eertain and uniform re sults of subjogation, to which the United States is now bent upon reducing tke Confederate Slates. It is re markable, however, tkat aot one of the few disaffected papers, so far as we have seen, hae copied or alluded to thoee articles. Tke Examiner has been as bitter an enemy to the Administratioa as the Raleigh Standard, but it is yet an earnest advocate of icdependenoe and opponent of anything like reconstruction. So is the Charleston Mercury, which therefore fully appreciates the Examiner’s articlee, and gives conspicuous place to them. Aoting generally, as It does, with these two pa pers in opposition to the Administration, we did hope to see those articles copied into the Standard. Sat no, they would too manifestly have opened the eyee of its readen to the inevitabl* effects of that return to Lin coln’s abolition rule which we ar« forced to believe, against cur wishes and interests, the Standard contem plates.
