William R. King -"a prominent' leader in the

according toho rules of the accursed " code'
of honor," if Mr. Clay had refused to apcept
it, thoogh at the sarno time recognizins Mr.
King as a gentleman , ho would hav been
branded with the epithet of toward, and pub.
lished to tho world os such by his 'enemies.
Not one word of censure docs the Editor of
the Standard apply to Mr. King for giving the
challenge. He tries to throw the whole bur
den of guilt upon Mr. Cloy, although Mr.
King was' the aggressor. This is the fair,
ness with which the Standard deals with an
opponent, j Will not the people of North
Carolina indignantly rebuke the inconsistency
of this purist, - who condemns the same acts
in his opponent, for political effect alone,
which have been committed by members of
his own party ?' Gen. Jackson, Col. Benton,
Mr. Dromgoole, and Gen.-McDufHe have not
only fought duels,! but (if we mistake not) 4
have sent theirj antagonists, without one mo.
mcnt for repentance, into eternity, j We
should not have refreshed these circumstances
in the memory of our readers, had the Stan
dard acted with thatj fairness which justice
ti;1y demands.- ! j
yWhy did the Editor of the Standard neg
lect to inform his readers that Mr. Kins was
alsoV bound over to keep the peace V Why
did he, not tell his readers that Gen Jackson
was during the wholo; time he was President,
and is to, this very day, ' bound over to keep

where Gen Jackson was when the blood of
his antagonist 'cried up from tho ground ?
