GENERAL TAYLOR, ANX THE NORTH
CAROLINA VOLUNTEERS.
We had heard, that the "Standard" was coming
out last Wednesday, wuh a flaming announcement
for the benefit of the returned Soldiers, that Gen.
Taylok had said 0at they ought all to have been
sent home lu disgrace, or shot. But the author
ized denial of Gen. Taylor, came a few days
too soon. We thought it had destroyed some pre
cious ihunder, and wanted to see how it would end.
The affidavits and proofs, are not published but
k"away over yonder," in the South East corner of his i
third page, in smalHype, the sheepish thing lies,
looking vastly ashamed of itself, and as if it wished
itself back again in the " Wilmington Journal where
it made its first appearance, before the old General de
nied it. Why our neighbor should have put the in
famous lie any where, save in the fire, after he knew
Zachary Taylor had said it was not true, is a ques
tion of political casuistry which we cannot solve.
The "Standard" had seen this authorised denial; it
was in many of his exchanges. t Gen. Zachaky Tay
lor may not be the greatest man living but, he can
not lie. The " Standard" knows that. He knows
in his heart, that what Zacuary Taylor may say,
is " the truth the whole truth and nothing but the
truth." His is a soldier's honor above suspicion.
even. Still the " Standard" published that poor lie
when, with half a thought, he must have known that
after Ainieniah, there ia not a man, woman or child
in the rvorld who believes it The " Standard" dares
do many bold things, but he dares not, on American
soil, pronounce old Rough and Ready a liar. But
he has published, not as his own an assertion which
if true, proves it. We ask our neighbor, to do him
self the justice, to take it back. It cannot touch him
at whom it was aimed ; but it may " recoil and kick"
somebody else " over."
We will here make one remark. Should this in
famous charge ever assume a tangible shape, we have
the evidence in our possession, given under oath, by a
Democrat ! which puts a quietus to it, at once and for
ever ! We only wait to see what we shall see.
COL. PAINE ' AND. THE " STANTjARD?'
There are occasions on which all should look above
the little feelings of partisan warfare, and open their
hearts to the influences oftrulh and justice. Such
an occasion we deem the full and complete acqvittal
of the Colonel of our Regiment in Mexico, on the
grave charges there urged against him. Of those
charges now we shall say nothing. Of their authors,
and the appliances at home by. which they may have
been impelled we shall not now speak. Let them
rest in the shade. But of the grief, felt by all true
hearted North Carolinians, at the difficulties which
occurred in our Regiment in the enemy's country,
just at the very moment that glory was within their
reach, it may berproper now to any somellliug.
But for this unhappy cloud that hung around them,'
they wouldhave been the very first of the Volun
lwhVoi4,iiave beWaii1Gen. Scott. ndr
shared in the'glories of his triumphal mnrctrtO" thaf
Aztec City. Their bravery, discipline and skill,
were ample guarantee that they woald have been
selected for that bold push, upon the enemy's heart.
Without knowing or inquiring where lay the blame
of this state of things, who did not hang his head ia 1
sorrow, that our own" Regiment our friends and
neighbors, who were panting for that high fame,
which duty well performed "in their country's ser
vice Was sure to'bring, vrere not allowed to follow
the greatest Captain of the age, to a succession of
triumphs to which, under the circumstances, there
is no parallel. A Court of. Inquiry was instituted,
at Saltillo. The result of the Inquiry has been pub
lished for someen days, and the "Standard," the
organ of the Denidfeitic party in North Carolina,
has not yet given ifa passing notice. Why is this ?
Does he fear that peopFe may know the truth, in
what vitally concerns the honor of the State, as well
as of every officer and soldier who went to the war t
May not justice be done just before an election 1
That Press had formerly much to do with discussing
those matters if uot with producing, the result,
which every patriot and friend to the Army so bit
terly lamented. Couiu it no& alToru to say one lit
tle word about it now? Could it not just hint at
the decision of the Court? Must it be dumb for
fear it might undo, what it heretofore for partizan
purposes, labored night and day to accomplish ?
The day is passed when our neighbor could have
done the handsome tQng. The first opportunity
for redeeming error, is the golden chance. That op
portunity is lost now and whatever he may say or
do hereafter, will fall far short of giving him that
noble pleasure, which the consciousness of having
done riga always affords. The Editor of the " Stan
dard" sometimes bursts out from the trammels of
party, and acts like a man and a freeman. We re
gret that he forgot to do it on this occasion. -

PARADOXICAL.
Notwithstanding their repeated and overwhelm
ing defeats in this State, the Loco Foco leaders are
again in the field with a candidate for Governor.
The ticket, is as follows, David S. Reid for Govern
or. Why is Mr. Walter F. Leak thus slighted ?
Two years ago he took the stomp, and did his best
for the Locos; and now because he will not tramp
all over the State, in a hopeless cause, though he has
caused it to be repeatedly announced that he is Wil
ling to be a candidate, the. cold shoulder is turned
upon him. A fine specimen, truly, of Loco Foco
justice and Loco Foco gratitude!
We do not believe that Mr. Reid desires to run
for Governor, or that, the use which selfish partizans
are making of his name, meets his sanction. He
knows as well as any man, that a majority of the peo
ple of the State are opposed to him in political sen
timent, and we cannot think that, under the circum
stances, he would permit himself to be mixed up in
such a business as the Loco Foco leaders of the State
now have on hand, 'specially, as he was so loth to
accept the nomination.

GENERAL TAYLOR'S NOMINATION.
Wefiearn 4hat the long expected official letter of
Gov. Morehkad, announcing to Gen. Taylor his
nomination by the Philadelphia Convention, has been
at length, received by the old General at his head
quarters, at Baton Rouge.
The Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore
" Sun" furnishes some interesting facts from the dead
letter office, which will account for the reason why
General Taylor has not sooner received the letter of
Governor Morehead announcing to him his nomina
tion by the Whig National Convention. Forty.
eight letters had been returned to the dead letter of
fice, Gen. Taylor having refused to receive them on
account of the postage not having been paid, the pos
tage on them amounting to $7 30. -The Washing
ton Union states that the address on those postmark
ed the 7th and 9th of May, from Philadelphia, is
believed to be in the handwriting of Gov. Morehead.
The handwriting has been shown to some of the
members from North Carolina, who unhesitatingly
pronounce it his.
Some one has remarked " If such is the case, it
certainly affords a new and highly interesting phase
of the unambitious character of Gen. Taylor. Un
moved amidst the honors a grateful country showered
upon him, he never thinks of himself, and lets es
cape for a time from his hands an announcement, for
which -politicians struggle through a long series of
years to attain, often sacrificing in the vain pursuit
, not only health, but otten good tame."
VERY LATE FROM EUROPE !
The Hibernia arrived at New York on Friday
night, with Liverpool dates to the Sth inst. Paris
Was tranquil. The National work-shops had been
suppressed by Cavaignac. The 10,000 Prisoners
engaged in the revolt at Paris, are to be sent to Al

Thiers Was in favor of one similar to the American.
A circumstance has transpired which has created
no little surprise. M. de Lamartine is about to quit
France. The pretext is, that he intends to travel in
the East, and that he is to be accompanied by Mad
ame de Lamartine. His departure must be very
near, at hand, as it is said that some of his of'lusjeaee
has already been dispatched for Marseilles.

The Democrats of Charleston held a large and
enthusiastic meeting on Wednesday night, in which
the prominent and leading democrats of the city took
part. Resolutions approving ef the support of Gen.
Taylor, were adopted without a dissenting voice.
The Tatlok ball is thus set in motion among the

THAT OTHER "INTERCEPTED CORUESs-
' PONDENCE."
We have studied much on the subject, and we
really think that the Correspondence in the last
"Standard" headed " Old Whitey on the Turf," is
in fact, a " contemptible forgery from first to last."
We cannot believe that Old Whitey ever wrote that
letter. It must have been forged by some narrow
minded Loco Foco, who is jealous of him, and wish
es to supplant hm and get his office. Old Whitey
s a modest old Horse, tie is periecuy sausueu
with his position, and does not aspire to the Vice
Presidency. Bat he is as tenacious of his present,
as" he is careless of other and higher offices. So long
as old Rough. and Ready can lift a leg, the back of
Old Whitey will kindly receive it, and no envious
horse, gelding, mule, or John Donkey, can obtain his
place, or render him dissatisfied therewith.
We close by, repeating it as our decided opinion,
that this alleged Correspondence is a a contemptible
forgery.". And we must say. in the language ot the
indignant Gaul, " ve are verra moosh disgorst" at it.
We do hope that no intelligent man will be deceived
by such infamous devices.

Potojuc, of the " Baltimore Patriot,'' says
that the Hon, Caleb Smith, recently in the House of
Representatives, in reviewing General Cass course
on the Internal Improvement que st on, produced that
little book, wich contained, in a single volume, about
as large and as thick at a half dollar, the luminous
letter of General Cass to the Chicago Internal Im
provement Convention' He sent the book to the
Clerk's desk to be read, saying he considered it like
John Rogers7 little work left to his children, the au
thor of which said : '
" I leave yon here a little book,
For you to ok upon- -
That you may see your father's face,
When he ji dead and gone."
He said he presented to the other side of the House
this tittle boot, that they might see their political fa
ther's face when he ia dead and gone!

turned round and voted for a President who would
veto thm! M
their remarks on the following awful passage in
Mr, Venable's speech on Slavery in the Icrrito
rics :
" A distinguished Senator of my own State, Mr.
Badger, a gentleman of high attainments and ex
tended reputation, iu a recent speech on the Oregon
bill, admitted the right of Congress to legislate lor
the exclusion of slavery iu the Territories, but
placed the South upon the priuciple of expediency,
and the sense of justice of the rederal Legislature.
Gracious heaven 1 are we reduced to this? Is our
ouly, our last hope, the verdict of a jury whose in
terest, whose feelings, aud whose organization fix
that verdict against us? Can auy man close his
yes to the fact that the progress both of opinion aud
of power is against the South ?
The "Fayettville Observer," in speaking of the
Speech of Mr. B. says That Mr Venable
did not clearly understand Mr. Badger's "recent
speech," is not remarkable, when it is considered
that he spoke on the day before Mr. Badger ! The
printed copy of Mr. Venable's speech, for which
we are indebted to his courtesy, states that it
was delivered on the 1st June, whereas we find
Mr. Badger's speech reported in the Congres-
!sfbnal Globe (from which we copy it.jag deliv
ered on the 2d June. W nether this singular at-,
tempt of Mr. Venable to anticipate what Mr. Bad
ger wouldsay, be the effect of clairvoyance or not,
we cannot say; but if it be, he has approximated
more nearly than clairvoyants sometimes do, to
the matter in hand, he has at least discovered
the subject on which Mr. Badger was to speak on
the next day.
But seriously, there can be no doubt of the cor
rectness of Mr. Badger's broad position which
Mr. Venable controverts, that Congress has a
right to legislate for the Territories. It is a right
which has always been exercised. Mr. Butler
ofS C a good Democrat, distinctly affirmed it
in his speech, a part of which we quote in con
nection with Mr. Badgers? it was exercised in
the Missouri Compromise, and is again tone
exercised in the Clayton Compromise of the pres
ent session .
We have not had time to read Mr- Venable
speech, but in glancing over it we find that he,
with all his affected horror of Mr, Badger" re
cent speech,' distinctly adiniUwhat he so cou
demns. In one place we find hltn aywg,
"1 declare that we are content to abide the Miss
ouri comnromise: not that we belief e that Congress
had any right to ennex any sch conditioner to enact
anu such law : but the compromise navinz been ma le
and acquiesced in for hear thirty years, there is no
purpose entertained by any Southern statesman 'to
disturb it now."
