GUILFORD COUNTY. From the Raleigh Standard, August 22., DOINGS IN GUILFORD. It will hardly be believed, that in North Carolina, an abolition lest would be re quired of a candidate to insure his suc cess among any portion of our citizens. But it appears that it is even so. Mr. Jon athan Parker, of Guilford, was promised the votes of a portion of "Whig" citizens, if he would take the side of Henry Clay, who they believed (and truly)to be an abo litionist. From what we can learn it ap pears these persons will support Clay on that account, at the risk of dooming the .South to bank bondage and federal domin ion. Among the doings in Guilford are some acts worthy the spirit of federalism and the reign of terror. We are told that the Bank "Whig" merchants attended the polls, and warned those indebted to them, that if they voted for Mr. Parker, Uiey would press them for their debts, and that thejr would take no thing but Gold and Silver. It seems that these "rag barons" are willing to put up with "specie humbug," when it answers their purposes of coercion and oppression. Another incident betrays a most reckless disregard of propriety on the part of the federalists. Is Grwensborough they mark Uhe CompanyThe Whigs of 1776 p,1 th, nrnfilf. nf Mr. Parkeronab(mr(LniiA4eraan and above uoing sucn a tutng, burnt the same in a barrel of tar; tolling tL .Secondly, and lastly our merchants have town bell in the usual manner of funeraf u much sense not to know that such a dec solemnities. Comment is orrnecessary. But notwithstanding all this, the demo cratic republicans, as might be supposed, have gained ground in Guilford since last August, and are still gaining ground. We trust the time is not far distant, when Guil ford will rank among the most devoted to liberty and equal rights. From the Greensboro' Patriot. Comment." It will hardly be believed, that in North-Carolina" a man can be found so utterly destitute of truth, as to make such unfounded statements as the above are. The Standard in receiving the. above infor mation, has suffered. himdelf to be imposed upon with what willingness, 5s not for us to say. In the first place, the " Standard' utters an untruth, when he characterizes II. Clay as an 44 Abolitionist," and a falsehood ec jal ly as detestable when he says that "an aboli tion tent w,as required of a candidate to in sure his success among a portion of our cit izens." Freemen of Guilford ! ViMyou not long remember this ? From what we can learn,' savs the Standard, " these per sons will support Clay on that abolition account." iiy these persons, the Stan dard, in our opinion, has allusion to the so ciety of Friends in tins country, because 1 they are religiously opposed to slavery. Li then, this be his meaning, wc can assure him, although the Friends disapprove sla very, there is not one in this county, but what would as soon forfeit his right arm, as to nve countenance to the vile doctrine of Northern Abolition, or any other fanaticism (even though it be a Van BuremsmJ that tends to disturb public tranquility, and en- langer the safety and happiness ot the U nion. As individuals, they are virtuous, peaceable and wise a spirit of fervent affection glows in each bosom for his whole country and his country's Constitution, and as a Society, thev are highly devoted to christian piety no "wild commotion accompanies their Reli gious worship- their church, though hum ble, is founded on wisdom, law,, holiness and sincerity. Both, as a Society and as individuals, they are sincere, in our opin ion, in their devotion to God-and to their country are free from joining that factious band that now agitiV.es ihe North and threat ens to sever the silver cord of the Union. And aire these people, so honest, so virtuous, so peaceable, so unassuming, . so esteemed and so respected by ttiose without the gov ernment of their church, to be characterized as Jlbolitionists," seeking to destroy the American Union, and to drench the fair and fertile soil of the South with human blood, because they dared to think for themselves in voting, and because, they did not think with and vote for a. Fan Buren man? "It appears that it is even so." We do not pro fess to know how these people.voted. Yet it is evident that the Standard alludes to "a portion of" citizens inthis county who are commonly called Quakers. Does the Stan dard not know that his Van Buren candid ate (MrParker,) once voted for Henry Clay and against Jackson ? The Staudard says Clay is 'an abolitionist then here is a Van Buren man who voted for Clay for presi dent. How is this? But has th Standard ever yet show a any evidence whatever of Mr. Clay being an Abolitionist ? Non. Why then does he dare to make snch, ad as sertion? Because he knows that Aboltion if an unpopular potnf iit th South, if fie can succeed' in niakfng the uninformed ucuine ueiievtJ 11, ne.WiU eiiervaw nun Ktinguished StatearmaaV. popularity in the Souths he knows that Mr. C. bids taif to be elected by the American people, as our next president, over Van Buren, and he hesi tates not to do Mr. Clay injustice so that he rnaydefeat his election so far asjit is in his pcrwer. The Standard knows that Mr. Clay is no abolitionist. The abolitionists in the north are utterly opposed to him be cause he is not one of them, and yet the Standard would have the South to look up on Henry (May as an Abolitionist merely to prevent his election. " Peace, factious man, born to vex the great, With vranglihg talents fonu'd for foUl debate, Curb that impetuous tongue." .The Lynchburg Virginian, speaking of the Van Buren presses calling Mr. Clay an abolitionist, says : " He is a fool who be lieves it, and he is much worse than a fool who asserts without believing it." Even so, brother, say we. :" The Standard says that Ire is " told that the Bank " Whig" merchants (in this coun ty) attended the polls, and warned those in debted to them that if they voted for Mr. Parker, they would press them for their debts, and that they would take nothing but Gold and Silver.',' Ah ! Give us the names of those merchants, if you please; not know ingr with certainty j of course we cannot say whether this is so or not; but we believe it is a LIEy and we are requested by the "Merchants" of Greensborough to call up on the Editor of the Standard for thenames of those merchants, and also the name of the author of this statement. Justice and honor alike, require him to do one or the other. As all the ' Whig merchants" in the county are impeached by this statement, those who are innocent have a right to call upon the Standard for the names of the ac cused, and it is his duty to famish such merchant's names; if he (as we expect) is not in possession of their names, then he is in duty bound to give up the name of his informant. The innocent wish to show their innocence ; to do this it becomes necessary that this'demand be made ; the charge is one of importance ; the' demand is courteous, earnest, and just. Will the Standardcom ply ? If he refuses, will he not tacitly ac knowledge that he received no such infor mation, and that it is a fabrication of his own ? He will. But we have thought the charge a falsehood : We vill offer our rea sons : In the first place, we do not know of a merchant in the cou nty , but who is a gen .it it -i a laration, made to a debtor, even though he may have been poor as Lazarus, would have met the debtor's scorn and defiance ; and so far from driving him into measures, would only have enlivened his patriotism, and stim ulated him in voting to the contrary. Our citizens are too intelligent, too virtuous and too patriotic to be forced into measures, in this way. From the Southern Citizen. It so happens that we are well acquaint ed and have a great deal of intercourse thro' Guilford ; having formerly spent much of our time in that county. And if abolition was once named in the-electioneering can vass, it is news to us. We never heard of it. And we heard much about the election for six weeks before it took place. And we happen to know another thing: that unless our old friend Parker has changed his creed on this subject, as well as many others of late, if Guilford County affords one aboli tionist, he is the man. We mention this not out of reproach to Mr. Parker, for nve arc not aware that he ever did indulge aboli tion views farther than a rational abhorance of slavery, prudently controlled ; in which every sensible and religious man would be ready to bear him out : But we advert to this statement of the 44 Standard" to show that the Editor liad guessed wrong or else had false information. And besides, the fact is well recollected by many of the citizens of Guilford, that Mr. Parker excused him self to his Quaker friends, when he- turned Van Buren man, on the grouud that Judge White was a Slave holder, living in a hot bed of slavary, and advocating the perpetua tion of slavery; and has also put up the same objection to Henry Clay. " The Democratic Republicans are stilt gaining ground in Guilford?" Strange information this. Compare the results of the two last elections for members of assem bly. In August 1836, the Vans made out to squeeze in one member of the House of Commons:: in the late election, there was but one solitary Van Buren candidate, he for the Commons, and a man too who for more '"than twanty years, enjoyed greater popularity in Guilford than any other man that ever Lived in the county ; and on the return Of the polls, the other week, Was found to be more than SEVEN HUNDRED VOTES BEHIND THE HINDMOST CANDIDATE J' "Van Burenism in Guil ford progresses like the boy that caught Moles. On being asked how many he had, he said, when he caught the one he was after and four more, he should have FV1E! We take this occasion to remark with ut ter astonishment, the vast difference observ able in some presses, between principle and practice. Editors there are, who seem per sonally to be Gentlemen of high respecta bility. They discourse and they write Well on the duties and responsibilities of the press; and seem, in a word to be everv thing calculated to enlarge, refme and exalt the moral sensibilities and political opinions of society. Yet m tlie unguarded mome rrts of party strife, they stoop to-the pitiful shifts of publishing, as true, what they themselves do ftot believe: misrepresenting facts, garb ling statements, calculated to mislead and deceive the reader. All for what ? Onfy a little present effect, regardless of consequence.- The liberty -of the press, thus trifled withi lessens its dignity, ndniooft dimia isfce o? destroys its utility: ' ' OUR COUNTRY;- BY JUDOB STORY.' When we reeollect what has been,what is, how is it possible not to feel a profound sense of the responsibilities of this Republic to all future ages'.- What vast motives press. upon us for lofty effort! What brillLnt. prospects invite our enthusiasm ! Wha't solemn warnings at once demand our vigil ance and moderate our confidence ! The old world had already revealed to us, in its unsealed Ibooks the beginning and end of all its marvellous struggles in th cause of liberty. Greece ! lovely Greece ! the land of scholars and the nurse of arms, ! where sister republics, in fair procession, chaunted the praise of liberty nd the good where is she? Her arts are na more. The last sad relics of her temples, are but the barracks of a rUthless soldiery; the frag ments of her columns and palaces are in the dust, yet beautiful in ruins ! She fell not ovhen the mighty .were upon hen Her sons were united at rherrnopyhe and Marathon, and the tide of her triumph rolled back up on the Hellespont. She. fell not by the. hands of her own people. The man of Macedonia did not the work of destruction It was already done by her own corrup tions, banishments, and dissensions. Rome! republican Rome! whose eagles glanced in the rising sunwhere and what is she? The eternal city yet remains,proud even in Iter desolation, noble in decline,ven erable in the majesty of religion, and calm in the composure of death. The malaria ha9 but travelled in the parts won by the destroyer. More than eighteen centuries have mourned over the los of the empire. A moral disease was upon her before Ca;sar had passed the Rubicon, and Brutus did not restore her health by the deep probings of the Senate Chamber. The Goths, and Van dals, and Huns, the swarms of the North, completed only what was begun at home. Romans betrayed Rome The legions were bought and sold, but the people paid the tribute-money, - . And where are the Republic's of modern times, which clustered arotmd immortal Italy? Venice and Greece exist but in name. The Alps, indeed, look down upon the brave and peaceful Swist, in their native fast nessesj but the guaranty of their freedom is their weakness, and not their strength. The, mountains are not easily retained. When the invader comes, he moves like an avalanche, carrying destruction in his path. The peasantry sink before him. The coun try, too, is too poor for plunder, arid too rough forTaluable conquest. Nature pre sents her eternal barrier on every side, to check the wantonness of ambition. And Switzerland remains, with her simple insti tutions, a military road to climates scarcely worth a permanent possession, and protec ted by the jealous j' of her neighbors. We stand the latest, and, if wc fail, pro bably the last example of self-government by the People. -'We have begun it under circumstances of the most auspicious nature. We are in the vigor of youth. Our growth has never been checked by the oppression of tyranny. Our constitutions have never been enfeebledjby the vices of luxuries of the world. Such as we are, we have been from the beginning; simple, hardy, intelligentaccus tomed to self-government and-self-respect. The Atlantic rolls between us and a formi dable foe. Within our own territory, stretch ing through many degrees of latitude, we have the choice of many products, and many means of independence. The gov ernment is mild the press free. Religion is free. Knowledge reaches, or may reach every" home. What fairer prospect of suc cess could be presented? What more is ne cessary than for the people to preserve what they themselves have created? Already has the age caught the spirit of our institutions. It has ascended the Andes, and snuffed the breezes of oceans. It has infused itself in the life-blood of Europe, and warmed the sunny plains of France, and the low lands of Holland. It has touch ed the philosophy of Germany and the North, and, moving onwartf to the South, has opened to Greece the lesson of better days. Can it be that America, under such cir cumstances, can betray herself? That she is to be added to the catalogue of republics,. the inscription-upon whose ruins is, 44they were, but they are not ?" Forbid it, my countrymen. Forbid it, Heaven. I call upon you, FATHERS, by the shades of your ancestors, by the dear ashes which repose-in this precious soil, by all you hope to be, resist every project of dis union; resist every attempt to fetter your conscience, or smother your public schools, or extinguish your system of public in struction. , I call upon you, MOTHERS, by that which never fails in women, the love of off spring, to te,ach Jthem, as they clftnb your knees to lean on your bosom, the blessing of liberty. Swear thorn at the altar, as with their baptismal vows, to be true to their country and never forsake her. I call upon you, TOUSG MEN to re member whose sons you are, whose: "blood flows in your veins. Life can never be too short which brings nothing but disgrace and" oppression. Death never comes too- soon, if necessary, in defence of the liberties of! our country. FROM THE OEEENSBOBO PATRIOT, S ACHED, To the MEMORY of VAtf BUREN ISM. LO!
