IDE raLeigii STANDARD.
The unceremonious suspension of the
Standard took aot people by surprise. It
has never been accounted for. It sub
scribers' at least, those who had paid their
, money for Jt,' and expected through aod
by virtue of that payment t he regularly
uppJisJ- with o muvh the exciting
news of the day as it chose to furnish,
were certainly entitled to a reasoaabkrex
cute for a violation of -the contract which
Mine thousands of them bad made, their
part of which contract Uiey. bad paid io
advance-The suspension,- withont so much
as saying by your leave, is one of the cool
eat operations of the day. Some have at-
tribnted it to the suspension of lbs habeas
corpus, aod an 'apprehension of arrest of
-iha Editor if .be should continue to issue
the Standard. Others that it wasbecause
ibe EJitof was a candidate and considered
, itirxielieale to print a paper whilst occu
prjng that position. Others that he was
unwilling tobe called upon1 to- answe
troublesome questions whilst a candidate. ,
Ilat all these aod all other supposed can
sea for suspension appear to be disproved
by thr actual "issue of a full sized whole
sheet Standard dated the 6th iosl. If the
Editor can issue one Standard, why not
all liial be is bound by bis contract to is
: sue t ,. Not that jwe care whether he issues
one or none, but. we wish to eall the pub-
. lie atUntioa to the fact that the suspen
ston is Mr. Uoldeh's own free will set. We
allude to it because it has been asserted
by Mr. Uolden's friends that the eovero
meot had compelled the stiapensioa ; and
in Ibis place it has been reported that Gov
Vance bad caused it. We doubt not that

We have heretofore had occasion to re

nortn Carolina, in Uov. Vaneea case,
he baa made Ikret changva. first, he. a

be is a Destructive, " a sort of hideous

Mr. llolden affirm that Gov. Vance never
has said' he was a OunaervatiVe ! Io No
vember, only four month ago, Mr. llol
den professed to be so devoted to Gov.
Virnce; ao"entirtty"endorsedarl that the
Governor had -said and done, that he af
fected to be indignant when we charged
that be meant to oppose the Governor's
re election. We have-not a shadow of
doubt that Ire was then as inncQ'Uent on
opposing bim as he is now. In fact, from
the day that GoV. Vance accepted the
nomination for Governor m June 1 862.
Mr. llolden has been his enerlry secretly
of course, for the Go vernor was too strong
to be openly opposed. We have reason
for what we say. But Mr. llolden openly
endorsed Gov. Vance -never openly com
plained of oru single othcial or individual
act down to the 25tti November lasL y

ever did anything thai was right. The
