(3 We have enclosed in this paper, ac
counts against several of our distant sub
scribers, and earnestly request their early
attention to this matter. We do not trou
ble them often in this way, and as we are
willing lo receive current money where
our subscribers reside in payment, and al
so assume the risk of ail moneys transmit
ted to us by mail, we confidently rely up
on their justice for a speedy settlement of
our small claims.
(J"We are requested to state, that the
Republicansof Edgecombe and Nash, with
t&ese of the adjoining counties, will give a
Public Dinner at.NolIey's Cross Roads, in
Edgecombe county, on Thursday the 15th
of October next Several prominent poli
ticians in the Democratic ranks are expect
ed to attend, and. some sound Republican
doctrines doubtless will be promulgated.
(fJWe are truly pleased to learn, that
Henry I. Toole, Esq. of Washington, has
become associate Editor of the Raleigh
Standard, with T. Loring, Esq. Mr. Toole
is an able and energetic writer; and altho
young in years, may be regarded as a prac
ticed and skilful veteran in politics. We
copy the following articles from that paper.
to the Matrons of the stan
dard. As I am compelled to be absent for , ,
short space, this Fall, I have associated
with ma, in the Editorial Department of
the Standard, for the time being, Henrv
I. Toole, Esq. a gentleman whose talents,
it is believed, will prove a powerful auxili
ary in the good cause of Republicanism.
His ardent devotion to popular rights, and
sterling Democratic principles, will, I trust,
render this arrangement highly acceptable
to the readers of the Standard.
Sept. 30, 1840. T. LORING.
To the Public, and particularly to the
Republicans of North Carolina.
The undersigned his become associated
with Mr. Loring in the editorial chair of
the North Carolina Standard. He is
fully sensible that any gentleman who par
ticipates in the control ofthe leading poli
tical press of a party in the State, incurs
heavy responsibilities; and he feels that
they are most fearful now, when all the
fountains of public opinion are stirred, and
the allied powers of money and federalism,
having staked all their hopes upon an is
jwe, are making a desperate and daring as
sault to storm the government. At a cri-
... .sis so fraught with peril to our institutions
and therefore with anxiety to the patriot,
to become one of the Standard-bearers of
the Republican parly of North Carolina is
a post which he has hesitated to assume:
but having assumed will faithfully and fear
lcsly main'ain.
Republicans of North Carolina! You arc
in ihe midst of a momentous struggle. It is
so felt on all hands. The contest of 1798.
when fedoral'sm wos driven to the wall, is
a memorable e poch in our history, but that
now pending whilst ii involves Ihe tump
principle, involves al the happiness, of
V "'"v i people, amJ is ren-
ucivu muie uuuuuui ny me accession of
Hrnginwnict.llie monarchical principle has
derived from the advance of the coiintrx
in wealth -and luxury. This wealth, bene

pursuits of healthful entcrnri.. k. u

banking nd other wrporations endowed

form and to perpetuaie those privileges,

functions with which he has been incau

peTling others to fulfil theirs to the letter
Never before, in any country has the mon
ey power assumed so audacious an attitude.
It isonenlv in the field contending for po
litical mas'ery. Nor is that the worst feature
of the contest: it is the foreign capitalist
and aristocrat who fights under the banner
ofthe American Banking system. Our
whole system, as at present constituted.
is but a dependency ot that oi Britain: ana
in this particular the present contrst may
be likened to that of 70. Then the ques
tion was whether, we should be governed
bv the King of England now, whet her we
shall be eoverned bv the Bank of En
gland. Tliis is the true issue, the great
question to be decided in November; all
other issues are immaterial. The Hooecase,
Militia plan, miscalled a Standing Army,
the clamor about Expenditures and the
Census, areall mere scarecrows gotten up
to divert the attention of the people from
the true question. Upon this issue there
can be no loom for an honest difference
of opinion among true republicans. A
mong such there must be but one mind and
one heart. Come, then, Republicans of
North Carolina, to the rescue of the noble
old State! She has stood from '76 till now
by the country and the Constitution,
yielding an uniform support to every re
publican administration; shall she now for
sake her old faith? Shall the land of Macon
be allowed to sink into the mercenary
and polluted embraces of federalism, or
ff its bastard "offspring? No: it can
not, it must not he. Let us resolve that she
may be, shall be redeemed from the op
probium which her late elections have
cast upon her venerable escutcheon. The
occasion brooks no delay, and the temper
ofthe times brooks no lukewarm action.
Rush then into the contest, at once, and
warmly. Rouse those who slumber, en
lighten those who are deceived, strengthen
the weakhearted, meet and refute those who
are busy in the work of delusion. Jic
Hon it the word; immediate, efficient,
unremitting action. The undersigned has
a duty to perform, and it shall be done to
the best of his ability: will you aid him
with a corresponding effort? Whilst he as
sists in upholding your Standard, it shall
be flung and float freely and stiffly even in
the midst and hottest of the conflict: will
you rally under it, and help to save our
noblc and glorious old North State, from
the stain nf federalism, the irnoble domin-1
ion of the'm6ney-cha tigers?
Young Democrats of North Carolina!
One ofyour number addresses you. A ua-
ftive of North Carolina, reared in her insti
tutions, and proud of her former republican
triumphs, he feels with you mortified
at the "shadow of turning," seen in her
I late election, and will labor with you earn

tl)J )OSom is' filled with emotion's, and
should pant for usefulness. The Sttte
looks with eager hope for your best efforts.
Your fathers who stood by Jefferson in the
great civil revolution of 'OS, acquired a
glory only inferior to the soldiers of '76,
and are now regarded as standards of the
faith. Rely upon it forty YE,wts hence
the contest of IS40 will stand in history
and public sentiment, as that of 'y
stands now. If you would lay up refl
ections which will cheer you in after years,
now is the time to act. There is much to
be done. The federalists arc scattering
their humbugs and misrepresentations
broad cast through the State, piling false
hood upon falsehood, until, it would seem
they were reaching the presumptuous folly
ofthe fabled giants of old, who piling Peli
011 upon Ossa sought to scale Ihe heavens
not the heaven of federalism where loavse
and fishes abound, but the home of the
Omnipotent: If ihe opposition are so act
ive in so bad a cause, shall we not deserve
reproach if with one so good as ours, we
do not meet and counteract their efforts
with a spirit equal to their own? The un
dersigned relies confidently on your aid in
dissipating error and circulating truth. He
wishes each of you to consider him iiour
personal friend, ready to co operate in ev
ery honorable etlort to redeem the State.
He begs each of you to correspond freely
with him, stating particularly what
misrepresentations are afloat in each
partivtlar section, in order that they
may be corrected. - Write freely, and with
a full assurance that your communica
tions will always receive a cordial welcome
and respectful attention. He presumes to
ask your aid in extending the circulation of
The Standatd," in doing which you con
fer a personal favor, whilst you benefit
the cause ol souiul principles.

Seven Days Later From England
The steam ship Caledonia, Capt. Clelaml,
reached Boston early on Saturday morning,
having made the voyage from Liverpool in
13 1-2 days. She brings Liverpool papers
to the 19th, London to the lSth; and Paiis
papers to the 16th ult
The tone of the French papers is still
very warlike the government had re
solved on fortifying Paris, and other large
cities of France. The question of war or
no war, is no nearer a solution than on
the arrival of the Great Western. On the
one hand, we learn that the proceedings in j
I urkey and Lgypt appear lo indicate an
approach "to a crisis that there is no
alternative but war; and on the other hand
that ihe formidable preparations of France
and England, and .ill the lofty menaces of
minislers and diplomatists, will end in
something like the vapor that issues from
a kitchen boiler. Hy the London Morning
Herald, dated on the morning of the ISth
ult. at 3 o'clock, we learn that there was a
"probability of the settlement of the Eas
tern question, and the continuance of peace
in Europe."
"The Court of Pee rs ha issued a de
cree, putting Prince Louis Napoleon and
19 of his companions (two by default) on
their trial on the2Sth inst. for their recent
attempt to excite an insurrection at Bou
logne. The Court ordered the release of
C7
the remaining 33 prisoners.
The insurrection in Spain was rapidly
t extending. Sona, Grenada, Carthagena,
Malaga, &c. had sent in their adhesion to
the Junta oi Madrid. Marotto and several
Carlist pffieers,had tendered their services
to ihe new government, and Seville was in
a state of siege.
The repeal ofthe Union, between Eng
land and Ireland, continued lo be violently
agitated. A proposition was made at a
meeting of the National Repeal Associa
tion, in Dublin, for the members to clothe
themselves in national manufactures, and
to renounce the use of every article that
came from England, which was received
with loud cheers.
The Cotion markets continued firm,
without any material variation in prices.
