The Standard has m 4e an admirable hit in
his selection of title iCr the pompous Captain
General" OF North Carolina editorial whggcry-
Puff Master General" Who that read the Re-
giser last winter will not be struck with it2 But,
through anxiely 10 this lummary of our day
and profession rewarded with full measure of
deserved fame, suggest the addition Of Manu-
facturer-in- Chief" to his titles which wcl-earned
desert the Standard overlooked ;-eertes-he is
entitled to it,-for who in this or any other age
ever did manufacture great men out of smaller
material, or more of them, than this same " Puff
Master General ?" He not only rccounts in set
phrase of striking Specification the rcnown of the
great Badger, born listening Senates to COM
mand " and Navy whiskers TO curtail, but with a
lift of his fame-dispensing pen raises others who
were neither I" born" so great, Ror have "achiev-
ed " so much greatness by whiskers or otherwise,
into cnviable distinction.


In all this too, it is particularly 10 be noted,
with what dignity and dsccncy of style the work
is done:-no extravagant bombast and fwning
fauery of friends-no vulgar abuse and low
" "nicknaming of opponents! All manly praise
and courteous remark. Well may the Standard
point to the columns of the Register as pattern
for The lesser Whggies.
