That a large number of the Northern wing of tbe party, bitter Freaeoiler as they are. were thus influenced, and that their' whole conduct was hypocritical, sectional, and in the highest degree despicable, is unfortunately true ; but that such were the motives governing the m-n and the nreseee at tbe North known a- tb N i tional Wbigs we bate no idea, and it i dum them and oureelven injustice to oonfirtiiid them with the Freesuilers. Among the Northern big opponents of the Bill were those who a bly and sealously maintained ' at great person al riekthe finaii'y p attortp" adoptrd at Bilti mure, who are still willing to abide by its pro vinioius and who. in tbe-reoent 'eicitiiig a at B.NitiHi; drfended its tnont obnokious feature to the North the fugitive siave law with undi minished t'al and a'tility.

That little paragraph has touched us to tbe q-.ick.

'Are we prepared to make tbe vote on the N braeka bill a test ot Whig orthi-dox T A brief reference to tbe origin and history of that meas ure will aid ua in arriving at a jui conclusion. The country at the as tabling ot tbe preei nt CongreMVtas enjojing p.i found quiet under tl e operation of the Compromise measures i f 150. solemnly ratified and made part of their national pla.forms by tbe two great parties di Tiding the country, when, unsolicited by a sin gle N-uthem journal, and. x far as baa yet ap peared," without tbe advice of a single Southern representative, a Democratic Senator from Illi nois introduced a clause into tbe Nebraska bill dih ctly repealing the Missouri Compromise.. At er coquetting with it a while, the Adminis . ration declared in fat or of tbe measure, and af ter a long ana bitter struggle it became the law bora of tbe good old Whig caue.

Upon this part of bis speech, tbe Union re mark-: "Without assuming to speak for the Presi dent, or to intimate any knowledge of his views, G-neral Case arrives at the. principles of the veto message. Other statesmen, however, of large e x peri nee and grat eminence, have arrived at a diff -rent conclusion, nut onlytas to tbe merits of the Homestead bill, but as to its constitutionality .' The Homestead bill is a proposition to dis tribute the public lands graiuiu usly to all ao tual settlers, without the prior ceremony of becoming oitisn of the United States.. It holds out inducements to the vagrant popu lation of Europe to c una here and become land holders, "without money ami without price ; and, should it become a law, we may expect every poor bouse and prison in Europe to be presently emptied upon our shores.

Let them keep it befo e the People, That in the last elections in N-w York there was an open and avowed coalition, between tbe Administra tion of Pierce, and the Abolitionists and Free Soilers of that State, led on by Van Buren and his faction, to defeat Dickinson and his friends. who in the contest of 1850 bad proved true to the South and her right 1 LH them keep it before the PenpU, That whilst tbe locofoco party are loud in their professions of love for "Free Suffrage," they oppose the call of a Convention, the safest, cheapest, and most Republican mode of amending tbe Constitution, and the only mode by which that instrument can be protected from tbe baneful and corrupt iog influences of Ptrty spirit I Let them keep ii before the PopU, That a large majority of the -locofoco party voted against the Central Rail Road that they have nominated as their Candidate for Governor, a man who has been always opposed to Internal Improve ments, who so far from having said or done any thing to advance tbem, has uniformly said and done all he could to cheek them, and ren der them edions to tbe People I Let them keep it Uf ore the Pop'e, That through evil as well as through good report the Whigs of the State have ever been the sealous friends of Internal Improvements have ever given their vutr s and their influence to develops the re sources of tbe State, and secure to the farmer and mechanic a market for the productions of their labor 1 mold not done Iwran.. v.. j- , : . : .

If he bad been offered $400, instead of $1000, to engage in the caavass in this State, by Whig members of Congress, wo the charge totally destitute of truth? It is indeed as contemptible in the Standard" to pot forth sochVquibbling apolo gy fur Oen. E as it was in him originally to make tbe denial. That Mr. Stanly advised him to snch a course we do not believe. Hot what did the "Standard" think of tbis tame Balis tf. Edney, in 1852 ? We call attention to the fol lowing editorial which appeared in the issue of the 21st, of August, 1852. - ' . - gQr "The Washington Correspondent of the New York Tribune states that tbe appointment of Oen. B. M. E iney as Charge d'Aflairea t Guatemala has been confirmed by the Senate. So the General has got another slice from the G-ahant pnd ! North Carolina; Whiggery must be in high repute in Washington, when such as B dis M. Edney are singled out for promotion and honors t" That same Balis is a marvelous proper man note But we have another document for the pern- sal of the Editor of the "Standard" and the new allies and loving friends of the General. Perhaps he will be delighted to read it himself! What a beautiful trio, ' Marcus, Bill and B -lis !" Here is the epistle taken from the "Stan dard" of September 1st. 1852. Belvidere, Bcbke Cocvtt, August 22 152. j To the FAilor of the North Carolina Standard : Dxaa Sir: My attention baa been called to a "Card" of Gen. B. M. Edney's which appeared in the Raleigh Register of the 11th instant, in which 'Card" certain statements made just be fore the late State elections and communicated to you by me are pronounced toViUy destitute of truth." From tbe phraseology of tbe Gene rai's "Card" I can'only consider it ax denying that the offer which I informed you, upon the authority of a gentleman of high stand ng and u.. assailable veracity, had been made him, vos never in Juci made at all. Mow ax my intor mant whoe consent 1 can no doubt pio ure tu use his name hereafter, should it be necessa ry derived all be knew of the matter from General Edney himself, it is more than proba ble that the General has properly character ised information which be furnished himself a 'toally destitute of truth." He is more likely than any other t know the truth of a statement made by his own lips. 1 he branding his own Haratmn in the public prints as totally destitute of truth being a mere question of taste, it does not become me to decide upon its propriety, lest it might provoke a discussion too subtle and re fined for these practical times. Very respectfully. , MARCUS ERWIN And "sueh'T is tbe man whose statements tbe Editor of the "Standard" endorses as true ! . In 1852 tbe Editor published him under the letter of Mr. Erwin with having "branded His otm de clarations in tbe puldic prints as totally deeti tnte of truth." Yet, in 1854, be asks the honest people of -the State to believe him ! Out upon uoh meanness and hypocrisy 1 Let them keep it before the People, That should the locofoco party necure a majority in the next Legislature,-tbey will 'end to the Senate of the United States two members of that Itody, who will vote against every proposition, by which North Carolina may receive her just and right- deed bright, and we have nothing to fear.
