And subscribed lothe above, is the following oote
by ihe person who aeoi it to the Editor of the Stao*
dard :
“ From suck a cause as this, good Lord deliver
me ! Arouse Americans^ and put down the man!
These 1 Jind all over my country
A Reformed whig.
What surprise must sucb a letter create m the
busuni of every good man, containing as it does,
charges so vile and foul, ol FACTION, FRAUDS,
FORGERIES, TREACHERY and TREA*
SiON, against iheir fellow citizens—secretly circu
lated—on the eve of a momentous election—filling,
or desinged to fill, the public mind vriih false alarm
—inflrtining ihe passions of neighbor, and lending
to a fraternal strife of blood on the day ol Election.
Had ihi3 Oigan ol the Whig party ol North Caro
lina, as they sjyie themselves, been satisfied to issue
secret circulars to organize their parly for ihg elec*
lion, we should not have complained ; but these se^
cret charges against the Democratic parly,ofJrauds,
forgeries and disunion^ is a STAB IN THE
DARK, and from a quarter we had supposed to
elevated in society to have lent themselves to such
work. Hence the necessity, in justice to ourselves,
and to our cause, to meet and pul them down. We
are charged with the design “ to carry this State
Jor Texas and disunionand lhat too, m the face
of two Addresses, lately published by the Demo*
craiic Central Commiilee, which must have been
known to this Whig organ, not only disavowing all
uiipairioiic designs against ihe Union, but solemn
ly dtclaiir.g that WE WENT FOR THE UN
of this circular * truth should be made known ear
ly. and falsehood only needs e^LaminatioD.” Beware
then, fellow citizens of secret means to surprise your
better judgmenls and to inflame your passions.—
There is much wisdom io the adage that ‘‘the grea*
test theif is apt to cry the loudttt,” and they who
are even ready to charge others, ought most to be
suspected.

continued in office, be should have guilloiined 5,000
more.
3. The whig Congress, when it adjourned on the
3d of March, 1843, lelt a national debt of nearly fif
ty-nine MILLIONS. When Mr. Van Buren retired it
was about 5,000,000. Heaven only knows what it
I would LOW have been had not President Tyler m-
I terposed the veto power.
I The expenditures during Mr. Van Buren’s last
1 year were ^22.351.147. During the first year of the
I ‘ retrenchment ’ whigs they were ^26,394.242, and
; siting the next two years averaged near !g25,000,-
|000.
I 4. The ‘purse and sword’ were separated by a
I law passed under Van Buren’s adraini>tration, impo-
I sing a fine and penalty on all who use the public
money for private purposes.
The whigs as soon as they came into power, uni
ted the ‘ purse and sword ’ again, by repealing this
law without providing a substitute.
I 5. Having done nothing to improve the currency,
: of course they have not kept that promise. The
’ currency was good when they commenced their at
tack upon it, and it is good now, but no thanks to
them. It regulated itselli as the democrats always
said it would. And as to the • exchanges.’ there
was no more regulation under a National Bank than
; there has been since.
I G. Under the whig administration, the prices of
I produce and the wages of labor have been reduced,
notwithstanding the vvhigs promised the people ‘two
dollars a day and roast heel,’ and * better times.’

A friend of mine has been twice, but for some
son or other Mr. Dorr was in his closed call
tim* s. No one of his friends who has been
lor the purpos*’ of seeing him, has succeeded
than he did. The only chunce to see him on
visits IS (when he is in the workshop) from
tance of some thirty or forty feet, through an,5
grated door in the second story, looking dowi
on him from the rear as he fronts the opposite
lion at his bench.
- His father, some weeks since, was once al
ed to visit him m bis cell and hold conversatior
ever since has been perempiorily refused admij
to him Why? God only knows. I believe,
ever, for no other reason than lhat he does not
so highly of the • Institution,’ or of the comfoi
situation of his son, as to certify to it. I know
he has be^ importuned for a certificate sin^
went there, and that he declined the service i|
naillv; arfd 1 know that they have refused to
him a second time. One of the Hon. Board of ’ i.
spectors, a butcher by trade, told one of Mr. Dor ’a
friends that he would never be admitted ago i.
When Mr Dorr, senior, was there, he found h n
sick, his knees and one ancle much swollen w h
rheumaiisni—a complaint in the head and ch«jt,
i and begging for a chance to get a little fresh c r,
■and a Im’e exercise in the prison yard, but whi.h
j had been constantly refused to him. His father il as
petitioned every way for this indulgence, but it) is
been totally denied to him. They say he is ol
sick, ‘ by ihe report of the physician,’ as maligo nl
an Algerine as lives and lies in Rhode Island. la
usual answer from an underkeeper, when any o| .is
friends go with a permit to the prison, and ndt ii d*
I ing him at work, ask where he is, is that ‘he^is o:
well, and has not come from his cell today.’ /sk

his sickness, the story is at once, ‘ wo go by |hl^ e-

The two infant children of the Hon. Mr. Cilley,
the eldest of whom is not 12 years ol age, cry aloud
to the people of Kemuck) to sympathize with them

People of Keniuckey!—shall the man who has
shed human hlood, and who has “set the laws ot
God and the institutions ol a Christian people al de

it be said that you can be truly represented by such
a man? And will you give your vote to one who
urged and encouraged ihis deed of blood ? Truly
(in the eloquent language of Mr. Frelmghuyaen)
do the blood of the murdered Cilley and his wife,
and the tears of the bereaved orphans, call upon
you to speak and bear stern and indignant testimor
ny against itiis Heaven-daring sin !
