FRAUD AND MISREPRESENTATION! .AFe inserted a hasty postCrpt in i'ur last, af ter our paper had gone to Press, i which we pronounced, upon the authority of several hieh- f ly respectaUejcllizens of Guilford, then and now in this City, the statement of the "Raleigh Stan dard," that "Mr. Kerr, in that ' County, refused ! to commit himself to the basis, as it is" "chang : ed his tone upon the basis," Ac, a corrupt and mm perversion ot tne tacts. W e say that we thus denounced these statements at the express authorization of these gentlemen having re- ceive'd noother information, ourselvesj relative to the matterup to that time, and we are certain that, if considered necessary,' theij vnllbe ready, under their own names, to sustain th n.sprtinn Tt ; rrr j. -7- t , )er, nere ior us to state, that, with the excep tion of a few particulars, contained in the letter ofrthe "Standard's" correspondent, which we shall proceed to sotice, the denial and denun- j ciation were i.t94d to becoEf.ed main!v to tne mterences nicn tae Editor of the "Stan dard," himsel, had the disingenuousness to draw, and th effrontery and recklessness to pro claim as f&cts. In these "particulars," hOw- 1 ever, to which we propose now to refer, there are gross misrepresentations. Ia the first place, taking these "particulars" irt the order in which they come the corres pondent of the "Standard" asserts that Mr. Kerr declared that "a majority of the people had a right to change their Constitution, and that a majority of the people of the United States had a right to change the Constitution of the United States." And upon the strength of this state ment, that paper asks the question, with the view of representing Mr. Kerr to have taken a position that would justly subject him to the odium of the people of North Carolina, 3r "what safety would there be to slave pro perty, if the right were conceded by Southern men, to the people of the United States, to change the Federal Constitution as the result of the ac tion or vote of a bare majority. ""1a Now we are informed, upon evidence that 'oes not ad mit of disbelief, that Mr. Kerr t. t this posi tion : He insisted upon the Republican princi ple, that a majority have the right to govern ; and that, should a majority of the voters of North Carolina declare in favor of a Conven tion, although that fact would not, of course, of itself, be sufficient for the calling of saidCon vention, still he recognized a political obligation upon the part of the Legislature to carry the peo ple's wishesinto execution, which it would not do wbll to disregard. And in ilhutratiny his mean ing, here, and in enforcing his own devotion to the sacred cause of popular rights, he remark ed, that if a majority of the People,. IX ALL AND EA CII OF the respective Stutes, decided in facor of the amendment or. change of our Fideral Constitution, the man vho denied their right to irom the Report of the P'esidcwe learn I eject it icould ."come tvtite political block-" Does 6 operations on to? noad'arein a state oftnot the "view entertained bv Got. Reid really DExr tuis right! Id the Editor of the "Stan dard" prepared to dony it? Is there a locofoco leader in North Carolina who will dare to stand up and repudiate this privilege ? lid not these Weaders, during the last session of the Legisla ture, on the other hand, actually go so far, in their eager desire to dissolve this glorious Uuiox of ours, as virtually to proclaim that a majority of the people of any single State have the right to break up our existing form of Government? Let us have an answer! The "Standard's" correspondent also says: "On the subject of the basis of representa tion Mr. Kerr's remarks were few. lie did not declare here, as he is reported in the Raleigh Register to have done in Raleigh, that he was in j'avor of "the present basis remaining as it i3." He contentedjhiniself by simply remarking that he was in facor of a mixed basis." We are authorized to, state that Mr. Kerr did expressly declare himself in favor of the present basis of representation in the Legislature re maining as it is and that, in employing thc term "mixed basis," he was unequivocally un derstood, by every man who chose to understand him, as designating the present basis a basis npon which persons are represented in the lloupe of Commons, and property in the Senate. He declared it in Guilford, as he has uniformly de clared elsewhere, to be the duty of Government to protect the one as well as the other. We need say no more, then, on this point. There seems to be a question of veracity between bur informants and this correspondent of the "Stan dard." We leave the issue between them, s:.m ply expressing our own belief aye, our convic tion, that Mr. Kekr has not varied the shadow of a shade from the position which he has hith erto assumed.' And every man who knows him will be with us. Onco more, the "Standard's" informant wish ei it understood that " Mr. Kerr dmitted to de clare in Greensbojough, as he had done in the East, that he walopposed to a change in the present mode of distributing the School Fund." jjnd yet, according to this same writer, Reid f6ok especial pains, by re-iterating the fact two or three times, to have it distinctly understood that Mr. Kerr was opposed to any such change. Are we informed that Mr. Kerr denied having taken any such position, or that he sought, by the slightest evasion or indirection, to escape any i consequences to which it might subject him? No no ; but the unjust and slanderous impression is sought to be left that besought to conceal his opinions, and to induce the people of Guilford to believe that they had not been fairly stated I We learn that no one understood Mr. Kerb as occupying a ground different in the minutest particular from that which he has heretofore taken on this question. 1 The "Greens boro' Patriot," a zealous and very able advo cate of a change in the basis of which we are speaking, furnishes a lengthy account of the discussion, in which it says ; "It is not our intention to go into any lengthy report of the speeches ; because We have copied from the newspapers very full reports of the dis cussions heretofore, and nothing in addition or differing materially from the past was advanced by either speaker.". ' -Ajd the "Salem Pres," a neutral paper, giving an account of a subsequent discussion in that Mace, states, that "Mr. Kerr alluded to the Newspaper reports of the discussions, as embody ing his true sentiments"! We hare said that the correspondent of the "Standard" has ccfined himself to the state ment of details. It was left for that paper, however, to draw inferences and make asper sions. In it, the locofoco party of North Caro lina have a fit and willing instrument for the work of slander and falsehood. Two years ago, it established its reputation, then not fully ma tured, but bad enough, in all conscience, in this department of locofoco- warfare. The inatter before us is one which concerns Mr. Kerr s personal reputation. It is a direct im putation upon his character and his purity as a man. The opinions which he has so uniform ly, and with such consistency, expressed, during this campaign, may be right or they may be wrong they may subject him to odium in romo quarters ; but whoe er charges him with ehang- ing hose Pinioils for the sake of conciliating a fleetinjt popular annroval in anv one section 1 X L J charges him with an act of perfidy and corrup tion, which the thousands who know him, and who admire him, for all the qualities that constitute a man, will hurl back with indignant scorn into his teeth ! To the people of North Caroliua of all parties, we would say, in time, be on your guard. Ca lumny will be heaped upon calumny slander will be piled upon slander falsehood after false hood will bo accumulated, in order to perpetu ate the present "powers that be "in their places. No measures too foul can be adopted to sub serve the purposes of the men who have deter mined upon this. What has been done before, will be done again. It remains to be seen whether the honest and enlightened constituen cy of the State will not detect the means to which the locofoco party are compelled to resort to prop their sinking prospects, and brand them with tlie infamy they deserve ! I We shall doubtless be foroed to allude to this iuatter again. In the meantime, we shall ga ther other information for the public. I BEAR IT IX MIND ! That David S. Reid is opposed to allowing the oice of the sovereign People to be heard, in the matter of amending their own Constitution, and that he holds a deaf ear to their wishes in this vital matter ! Tl.i 1 : 7 tt , ... .. . . iHiid o. ucia, in connection with l)a- numoi, uiaumgs, Jiamlin, Julian and Dur Trev, voted for the Oregon Bill, with the princi ple of the odious Wilmot Proviso incorporated in it ? He does not dony that he voted for thi Bill, but has set up the miserable apologv. that it could not have contained the Wilniot Proviso because Wilmot didn't move its insertion there 1 Rtraera!) atMr. Cihoun, Mr. Drnton, Mr. Burt and Mr. Hamlin all prominent members of Reid' own pa-tly havwJosouly 'WiUred thnt it wis the veritable Wilmot and that it was inserted for the special purpose of recognizing ! the power of Congress over the subject in the Territories. And remember that Wilmot him self in a letter on some occasion, exults over the fact, that ins " Proviso, passed in the Or- Aiuti, jor tpiiirn z.ne locfToco "Candidate for Governor voted!! That David Reid voted forth-; Jiill, ."ter the purposes of the North had leen made known, by the scornful rejection of Mr. Burt's amend ment applying the principle of the Missouri Compromise line, and after the South had been tauntingly told by Hamlin, the Abolitionist, that the rejection of that amendment had "clear ly settled the question, now and forever, that we are to have no new Missouri compromise line3 or compromises of a similar character." That this vote of David S. Reid for the Oregon Bill, with the principle of the Wilmot Proviso in it, has already been used by the Abolitionists and Free Soilers as an argument against the South I And that the " Anti-Slavery Stand ard," the leading free-soil journal of the coun try, claimed his election, two years since, as a triumph of its own destestable principles ! That, at the same time that David S. Reid is claimed to be peculiarly the soldier's friend, he voted, whilst in Congress (as we have hereto fore shown from the record) against increasing the pay of the soldiers from eight to ten Dol lars per month. This vote was given during the Mexican War, at the time our gallant army were undergoing all ihe dangers and hardships of that distant service. When Reid gave this vote he himself was receiving the sum of EiGnT Dollars per day ! And pray what dangers what hardships was he undergoing ? Let us se how it stands in figures : Reid's services worth per year $2920! The Mexican Soldier's worthier year $96 ! Reid's worth per day, $8 ! The Soldier's worth per day only) 27 cts ! What a pietura And yet he is called the sol dier's friend I THE GAME BEGUN! We have elsewhere noticed thc fact that the locofoco leaders are at their old tricks. The truth is, the flattering impressions which John Kerr has left behind him everywhere he has gone, together with the nomination of Scott, have frightened what little honesty of purpose they could have laid claim to out of them. If the people of North Carolina are to be led as tray by the unscrupulous inventions of these men, we hope that Mr. Kkrr will still occupy a private station because we know of no one who would glory in defeat more than he, if he supposed falsehood and misrepresentation were necessary to sustain him. We have no idea, however, that an honest people are thus to be led astray. If the " Standard" will continue to make as many unfounded statements and cal umnious charges for the next four weeks, as it has in the last four, Johv Kerr will carry North Carolina by such a majority as we have never had in the State. Selab ! THE MANIFESTO GEN. SCOTT. i Our readers.will find, in another column, the pianifesto which it was some time since announ eejd was to be put forth by Messrs. Stephens, Toombs, & Co., givifg their reasons why they can not support Gch. Scott for the Presiden cy. A more puerihs paper never emanated from the same or any othr number of eminent men. Let us examine the reasons briefly : First, they canntj support him, because " ho obstinately refusedjup to the time of his nom ination, to give public opinion in favor of the Compromise misures." Is this true? Did he not always fa all occasions express his approval of thosd measures ? Did he not say often, that he labored, wliilo acting as tempora ry becretary of V ar, as faithfully and earnestly as any member d? Congress or Officer of the Go vernment, to procure the passage of those meas ures ? And were not these conversations made public? What greari publicity was needed, when every body tiwr- rJist. facts, and net cno of these gentlemen, bss.'selves, doubted the soundness ot Gen. ScdttS .But, it seems, they wanted not a public buiStcritlen pledge, before his nomination. Gen. Scott had determined, long before the assembling of the Convention, to write no more letters, as Clay, Polk, Vax Bure.v and Tayior did, previous to their nom inations. So that, if Gen. Scott was so very obstinate, he was so in very respectable compa ny. For oursclvts, we regard it as " a feather in his cap," that he refused to let himself down to make written jlcdgos, after the appliances that were brought to benr in order to coerce him to do so. Fiist, the locofbeos commenced the game of bra . They challenged, coaxed, dared him to writt attempted to goad him on by calling him theW;n candidate, and this cry was caught up by a few indiscreet Whigs. But all this could not induce the old General to put himself in the trap s-;t for him by the locofocos. Hence the real caue of grievance. But the recusants say that Gen. Scott " has not, siDoe his nomimyii, ade any declaration of his approval of thes measures, as a final ad justment of thc issues in controversy." Is this true? -If he approrei hi own nominal ion, he approves tlie Compromise, for, in his letter of acceptance, he tays " I accept the nomination, tcit the resolutions jannexed." But that is by no means all of th? approval of the Adjustment, contained in this'trtlir. He says that if elect ed, he will neithjfr retain in nor appoint to of fice, any one "deficient in capacity, or integri ty, or in devotbn to the Constitution and the Union !" This language had a meaning when he wrote it, and has a meaning yet. Who arc and have been called the -Constitutional Party the Union Party t Are they not those who, par excellence, supported f.'ie Compromise acts, against the malignant attacks of the free-soilers and abolitionist attho N9th, as well as a much more honest, l.itr eaniaUyimlisgaided faction at luu gvuui t 1 Again, Gen. Scott 1 a letter : onvinet-u tnut ham y and good will be tweeu the different quar ef our broad coun- try is essential to the r t and future inter- ests or the republic, and with a devotion to those interests that can know no South and no North, I should neither countenance nor tolerate :iny sedition, disorder, faction or resistance to the lav or the I'nion, on any pretext, in any part of the land."' This surely looks mnci like " an approval, since his nomination, of tljose measures," which have done so much to qiill this resistance to the laws and to thc Union The recusants admit, that " the Resolutions of the Convention are as clear and as explicit upon this question, as need be." It would seem, then, that when Gen. Scott accepts the nomin-. atiou, with the resoluons. vmiexed," his posi tion is as sound as The recusants corap' lin that "the only pledge and guaranty he offers for his adherence to the principles of the resolutions are the known in cidents of a long public life." &c. What bet ter pledge could they .sk ? Would these un narpy gentlemen havj one letter, or ten, or a thousand, promising Huthful adherence to the principles of the resolutions ? , You have them, gentlemen ! written iJhis own blood. Words are a)r paper promises ;are easily made. Men sometimes make ther without any very serious intention to keep thn. But he who has, by his own strong arm jfnd bold heart, spent forty years in protecting !Jiis -native land, has prom ised already to save his country. His heart is in the deed and its best blood has sealed the covenant. Ask no tvritten pledge from such a man, that he will bo a patriot hereafter. He who has fought all over his country and cover ed himself all over with glory, will surely know no JSorth and iw Sonti f tHcri to be the head of that glorious country ho has fought for and loved so well. His broad breast will swell, and his eye flash with exultant pride, as he looks over this great landA-his own nativejand ; his country his whole country. But Gen. Scott " hs suffered his name to be held up before the peoile of several of the States as a candidate for thePresidencv bv the onen. avowed enemies of thd compromise measures." Pray what ought Gen. Scott to have done in the premises ? Should he hare written to these "ene mies," and repudiated feem, individually and collectively. They maylhave one sound corner in their hearts left, in wlh they have enthron ed the greatest general o, the age. Was it his business to have torn hinWlf from that small corner, and called them flames, because they, with all their faults, would jrre him still? These verjr reasonable gentlemen; would put him up on practising " winningways to make folks winmngways to make iolks him." But tho Old llero is not poetical them.

There are two votes which should politi cally damn any man in North Carolina, viz : 1. A vote for the Wilmot Proviso in the Ore gon Bill. fe 2. A vote against increasing the pay of tlie gallant soldier in the Mexican War from eight to ten Dollars per month. . David S. Reid gave these votes, and yet he is a marvelously proper man in the eyes of the Democracy a friend of the South, a generous patriot, and ardently attached to the soldiers. . t" The " Standard" says of Gen. Scott's letter of acceptance, that it " bears unmistaka ble marks of careful revision ; there is nothing hasty about it." That paper has actually made one remark with which we can agree. And when it speaks the truth, like a man, the people ought to know it. They will not often be trou bled with that commodity from that quarter during this campaign. The discussion at Greensboro' was clos ed by an amusing and spicy colloquy concern ing tEe Presidential candidates. This is the substance as reported in the Patriot : Mr. Kerr said that Gov. Reid's gunpowder taunt upon the Whigs for bolstering up their cause with a "General" came with a poor grace from him, when his party had found it necessa ry to try a "General" too. 'There was this dif ference, however, in thU gunpowder game : the Democrats could only start a pocket pistol, while the Whigs had a twenty-pounder, which had many a time jarred the continent by its tremen dous reports Reid. A pocket pistol sometimes does great execution, particularly in close quarters ; and I doubt not the gentleman s twenty-tour pounder will be found to do as much execution at the breech as the muzzle. Kerr. Exactly! That's the way with the old piece it killed Polk and Marcy at one end, and the Mexicans at t otner : "Gen. Pierce knows no East, no West, no Noitlvno South." Attica Atlas. Neither does the East, West, North or South know Gen Piex-ce., The coincidence is truly remarkable Alleghany Whig. Scott is a dead letter in this county. Goshocton, ( Ohio) Democrat. Like other "dead letters," he will be sent straight to Washington. SUPREME COURT. Tuesday, June 29. -E. McLeod's Ex'rs J. McLeod's Ex'rs, in Equity, from Wake.
