-.4.. . . A TAIt550ROIJH : a! SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, IS5L Raleigh Register Slavery. The comments of.lhc Raleigh Regis ter on our remarks on Slavery, form a staangc article. We stated that there was a painful ex citement on the subject in an adjoining county how much real cause of alarm there was, or what produced it, we knew not; we only staled the fact, and suggest ed the enquiry into the prudence of pro claiming slavery to be an evil. Weomit led to express our condemnation of the avowal of such sentiments; supposing a bare allusion toil, would bring reflection to bear on its impropriety. The Register construes that into one of his '-evident tendencies" to excite insur rection, because we wore thereby inform ing the slaves that they had friends a mong the whites. The crime consists in being such friends, not in the exposure of them to light. His reasoning would con vict the Grand Jury who arraigned Mc Bride of McBride's offence. We neither assert nor believe slavery to be an evil. The Bible satisfies us it is! no moral sin, and out experience and ob servation equally satisfy us His no politi cal sin. We can maintain lheinstitution and laws on the subject of slavery with a clear conscience. Hut how is it with those who decry it as an evil? Are they the propel persons to legislate on the subject, or to enforce the legislation of others? We condemn the practice of asserting, in public. or private discussions, that slave ry is an evil." Such a belief must dissat isfy the slaveholder, and prepare him to ly of the pillory law,' by coming under it.e evident tendencies." So reasons the Riileigh Register. From the Raleigh Standard. gJ"Vo copied, a week or two since, an article from the Tarborough Press, in relation to a rumored insurrection in Pitt Countv. in Stanlv's District: and it was submitted in this article, by the Editor of the Press, as a question of fearful respon sibility, whether Mr. Stanly's course in the late campaign, in pronouncing and la boring to show that Slavery was an evil, had not led to the alarm and excitement alluded to. The Raleigh Register flies into a great rage, both at the Press and at this paper, on account of this article; and winds up its tirade of abuse by quoting the Revised Statutes upon us, and threatening us with "whipping," the pillory"- and the gallows," for having circulated, in publishing the said article, as that paper alleges, ''printed" incendiary matter. It is proper to state that we heard the rumor of this insurrection from a private source, before we saw the notice in the "Press;" (fad though, as wo learn, there was at first some cause for alarm, yet the excitement has subsided, and no danger in the quarter referred to, is now appre hended. Now, it is notouous that Mr. Stanly told the Abolitionists and Freesoilers in the last Congress, that his constituents had hut little if any thing to complain of on the subject of Abolition insult ami aggrcs the name of the county seal of Bladen and neglected to have a subpoena issued in time for the witnesses in Elizabcthtown, and that the chain of evidence was not complete against Armstrong without the required witnesses fiom Bladen. Pitt, the instigator of the murder, ha? not been taken. Damon, his tool, it wil be recollected, was hung lure last June. Washington Monument. vfu learn that the Governor has forwarded to Wash ington City the block of marble contribu ted by the citizens of Lincoln, to be plac ed in the Washington Monument for North-Carolina; and that he has also made arrangements for having the block prop erly prepared for its place in the Monu ment, according to the directions of the last Assembly, by some artist in that City. We understand further that the Governor would have sent on this block some lime since,, but has delayed doing so in the hope that he would be able to find some North-Carolina artist who would under take to cut the State's arms and the in scription upon it. Having failed in this, he has accordingly forwarded the block as above stated. Ralcisrh Stondai d. From the Warrenton News. RIDE ON A RAILROAD.

It is also notorious that Mr. Stanly asserted, during the last Congress, that Slavery is an evil: and this position he sought to justify before the people in the late campaign. We have been informed, on the best authority. that he got votes on this issue in certain do not intend to include any one attached to it in any capacity, for we believe that no set of men ever hid a harder task to pei form, who performed it so well, than the contractors, engineers and others who manage its affairs.

For what good purpose,, was this? Why did not the Register then read the pUlary law to him? The Register saj's: "In the face of this law it is such as the 'Raleigh Standard', and 'Tarboro' Press' and their .satellites, that should rea'd and tremble." We can .interpret, this sen sentence, in no other way, than that some one's conscience was trerubling under the terrors of the aforesaid law.
